B3T4M3 Well embarrassment is when you think people are seeing you as less than you see yourself as. Arrogance. Arrogance is thinking your abilities greater than they are. One could interpret that as a fear of being inferior.
@@goodvibesonlydude Be conscious of your body and mind next time you FEEL embarassed. I think embarassment and fear, may be our concern for what others think of us; that in itself is a psycological weakness.
I'm not one of those but I just want to say that something like this... It is special and it makes my belief in people even stronger... I wish you loads of ♥ ☀ ✌️ 🍻 ♥ from 🇮🇪 and let's meet up in a decade here 😂
Natty Games I just happen to know that some of these Hinduism guys live in a state of pure ecstasy and bliss 24 hours a day, while we "normal civilized" people spend life crying over stupid things and have no control over our body and minds
I always find myself laughing like hell throughout one of these documentaries. It's not that I am laughing at the insane shit that goes down, it's that laughing at Louis because of his demeanor and patronizing questions.
This reminds me of "Life of Brian" it seems that people want to follow religious figures regardless of whether or not they *want* to be followed. This guy seems like he's resigned to the idea of people treating him like a deity... "why do they follow you? You've got to ask them"... "it's embarrassing". I dont see him asking to be followed around with an umbrella, or to be recorded. Much like "Brian", you try telling people like this "I'm not the messiah"
I think the guru enjoys deification, it’s a choice he made. However, unlike his followers, he is concerned about his image on camera and he feels a little awkward being interviewed
Touching the feet of someone you respect/revere is quite common in Indian culture. e.g. Grandkids do it to grandparents. So its not too surprising to see that Indian-looking guy do it to the guru.
These people used to hang outside the mall and chant all day in Pittsburgh, as kids it was funny to ask them what time it was because they would stop the chanting and give vague up for interpretation answers.
ISKCON and HAREKRISHNA 's are that special people endowed with,glorious, supremely noble values and bringing peace,love,service,oneness of humanity,kindness,compassion to the entire humanity. It is all written on their faces. Hare krishna's are blessed souls with harmonious living, seenity,peace,love and transcendental. Hare krishna's are building a new world with peace,progress,prosperity and make this world a better place for all to inherit. SANATANA DHARMA (HINDU) &ISKCON are synonimous.
I found it interesting that when Louis asked the "guru" why the people were following him, he said, "I don't know". That pretty much summed it up for me. Dozens of sheople are born every minute.
ive always liked the haris, i read the taste of life as a little kid and krsna was like, my pin up kinda thing.i have read a lot of their texts but they are sexist it has to be said. i dont like this aspect but the special thing is they feed people, n encourage vegetarianism. i will always love the haris for what they do, they fed me and my mother, and many friends, when they needed. they are essentially good. i respect this. hari krsna hari rama, you guys always make me smile
I dislike them and many guru sects/cults, because they tell you to seek wisdom through the guru, which leads to people worshipping the guru directly. They may publicly say they don't want that and preach that it's bad, but the whole religion is set up in a way so people do it anyway. Plus I dislike any religion that teaches you to be and do good because it will bring good back to you, because it basically teaches you to treat goodness as transactional. It's no better than paying money to a shopkeeper so you get something you want back. They're not feeding you because it's just the right thing to do, they're doing it because it earns them a higher, favoured state of life. It's good in the sense that obviously something good gets done, but if you only do good because you get something back that's not really very sincere.
Lmao ikr, he's literally actively mocking/questioning his own followers motives. And it just fuels then more, it's literally Monty python life of brian
@krish108 : I agree that those who call themselves gurus, where ever they are to be found, must meet the strict criteria of spiritual life with all the various rules and regulations. If someone in such a position fails, then they can no longer be looked at for guidance and should be punished depending on the degree of fall down.
@panamanubian : These people have a very high self esteem because they understand that they are the servants of Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. They also understand that they are not this body, but are in fact spirit soul, so don't worry about their self esteem, instead worry about your own spiritual advancement. Please read the Bhagavad Gita translated and commented by Srila Bhaktivedanta swami.
I like Krsna devotees, sure it seems a bit crazy but they don't go around preaching hate like some other religions and sects, quite the opposite. I've spent many times hanging out with them, just chilling ...not my cup of tea but I like to know they're around, they do nothing but good IMO.
You're absolutely right but there's one potential problem with it that this quote by Voltaire sums up: ""If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities". If a religious doctrine grows large enough, it's only a matter of time till it will be corrupted. People who so firmly believe obvious nonsense and treat other humans as deities are very easily controlled; you can justify any action to them with their religion.
in my country, new zealand, the devotees stop you in the street and try to talk to you about hare krishna, show you books and stuff which is fine but the negative thing is they ask for donations for the books and what not, they even carry eftpos machines. If someone wants to believe something go ahead but its distasteful to air it out to people just going about their day, save that for the temples or people who are searching for religion. I bet they make a killing.
@mamoodh This guru was gravely attacked a number of years ago (I t hink it was in the 90s) in an airport in Spain by a disturbed person. After recovering in the hospital, his weight increased and he has stayed heavy.
chanting can be a good practise. it has served me reasonably well. it helps me to let go of things which otherwise i cant let go of. thats how it worked for me.
When Srila Prabhupada (the guru who brought this spiritual knowledge to the west) was in New York, most of his initial disciples were young hippies who used to take intoxicants - which they gave up after embracing spirituality. I believe your comment may have been linked with the above Taking drugs is not part of Krishna Consciousness - in fact it is considered a hindrance to spiritual progression.
@mrhellwung1 Jayapataka (aka Gordon John Erdman II) seems like a nice enough guy, and according to the Wiki page he was a dedicated follower of the founder, who combined the hard work of organizing, building temples, printing books, teaching agriculture to the locals, leading pilgrimages and of course, preaching. A true guru. However, this kind of devotion that surrounds him is unnatural and unhealthy, and caused many of his colleagues to go off the rails into corruption.
So many cults in the world, I feel sorry for the ‘disciples’… something missing in their life so they’re drawn to this stuff. And the ‘Gurus’ that get off on the sense of superiority and people inflating their ego. It’s pretty sad really.
to all the skeptics: did you see the full doc? where at the end louis (the biggest skeptic) got a hug from amma the guru? no? i rest my case. experience is knowledge.
+MrMW2013 yes but a guru will teach you to find and stay in that bliss/nicefeeling without the guru and Obama won`t because he likes the attention and needs it to keep his position. you heard the guru here talking about losing his privacy. for him it is also nothing but surrender but he knows the connection with god is the most beautifull thing so he gives his time without hesitation and surrenders to his disciples.
That's what I was thinking too. I also feel like Louis is sort of absorbing the emotions of the other people there. The people think Amma the Guru is a pretty big deal, right. So I feel like Louis perhaps starts thinking it too subconsciously, just for the fact that all the people around him are thinking that. It's more environmental. I don't think these feelings Louis got at the end of the documentary came 'naturally'.
what he meant by not wanting them to touch his feet because it projects their vibrations on him was that if he is looked upon as the source of holiness, then they won't associate it with the real thing.

Louis theroux is my favourite documentist, hes great! underrated if anything.
Louis has a great sense of humour 😂😂😂
"I could get used to it" haha! Louis' one liners are classic!
For a Guru, he’s certainly well fed.
Is a guru not meant to be well fed?
He is getting older and can't exercise as much. Leading and speaking is exhausting everyday.
utter bollocks … he’s got a secret Mc Donald’s that he visits on a regular basis… probably when his underfed devotees are sleeping
That's a really nice shirt Louis is wearing.

It really flatters his figure.
It really brings out his eyes

i really wish Louis make new episodes ,,,
My dad went to high school (SJNMA) in Wisconsin with this guy
No one noticed the gold rolex on the guru's arm?
could be just as fake as the guru right?
and so what? why him don´t must to have a rolex??
Nope. The resolution of this video is too high.
ISKCON does not discourage having wealth. You can make as much money as you want as long as you don't get consumed by it.
Why you hating on his wealth bro?

I’d like to imagine he was just walking around Hare Krishna’ing when all of a sudden a bunch of people started to follow him around
Seems very uncharitable. To me, he was clearly just being humble and giving the floor to someone else to speak
"are they bowing to me or to you"
silence
