Thanks a lot for exposure sandeep. I was in Bangalore (South of India) for 10 and I agree to everything you said because see that right in front of my eyes. I am a born-again Christian for 20 years and it was shocker for me (me coming from middle East). I am in Germany and I am trying to educate people around me like Germans, Americans etc about Hinduism and dangers of that cow-worshipping religion. Please keep doing such kind of episodes more and more.. Lots of love, brother.
Thing is, I would rather have an atheist, hindu, Jew, etc who has the right positions and values over a so called Christian running for office that doesn't.
It’s an antichrist spirit so can’t be trusted in the most fundamental sense. Watch “Wide is the Gate” - frightening worldview.
Also remember, this guest they have brought in is also very ill informed about Hinduism. Take anything he says from the grain of salt and explore the culture/religion yourself
There is Charvaka Philosophy in Hinduism philosophy which is atheistic. Buddhism that was also part of it was atheism.
Exactly!
I’m a South Indian Christian, and a lot of what he said is wrong in terms of Vivek, coz the caste system virtually doesn’t exist in the south of India, and anti conversion laws aren’t practiced in south India, and it’s more liberal in that sense, so he’s wrong in assuming that Vivek practises the caste system
That is far from the truth! Caste system is still practiced in South India...I have seen it first hand. I know si many local people who have converted to Christianity for the simple reason that they are not allowed into their temples and do not get any respect...they still do all the menial jobs and are known for that. And mind you, I'm talking about a metropolitan city....so you can only imagine the state in villages. Just because you may not see caste system being practiced around you doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
I lived for eight years in south India. The caste system is very strong there.
@@kavitha6788 this is no where near true in Kerala where Vivek hails from, I’m referring to Kerala, I come from there
That may be true for cities like Bangalore and states like Kerala. But I've heard stories of some churches in certain villages in the south (Tamil Nadu especially) that have found it hard to eradicate caste system even within churches. Vivek is a Tamilian btw.
Karnataka or Bangalore is a south Indian state where I'm from, there we have anti conversion law, Christians are most persecuted in many in all states less or more. If you ask any Hindu from India he says there is no persecution in India. Because it doesn't matter or they don't consider it as persecution. For your information saint Thomas was killed in south India. Graham Stain with his sons was burned down in North India.
There's examples in Scripture of God even using leaders who don't believe in him. And many politicians who claim to be Christians actually aren't.
When voting- who's the best person for the job? Sometimes we're not given the option of voting for people with the exact same worldview as ours.
One question is how much Vivek's religion would influence his political decision making. There seems to be a lot of assumptions about his motives. For example, he seems to not be bringing up anything about caste (like you guys really zoom in on here) and rarely mentions his vegetarianism. He doesn't seem to be actively trying to convert people? But he has brought up the persecution of Christians in Ukraine and by Azerbaijan when other leaders wouldn't...
How much of Vivek's worldview comes from Hinduism (which he seems to have returned to just recently) and how much from growing up in America under general American values?
I agree it’s utter nonsense that Christians can only vote for Christians. As long as a presidential candidate’s goals aren’t anti Christian we can support them.
May he come to know that the true way is Jesus Christ. 🙏
The biggest issue this video raised for me is honesty.
@@FalconOfStormsbecause what you hear is misinformation. They'll attack him in all different ways, both the deep state and the bigoted christians (who are thankfully a minority)
Don't believe in this colonial era propaganda against Hinduism. The president of India is from the so called "lower caste"
India has moved on from the caste system. It's only on the books and mouths of the westerners who know nothing about India, where it stays alive
Vivek is pro.life ..lot of people in this country are pro choice...i rather have him lead than any other pro choice president
Something to note - pro life is effectively pro choice nowadays. Their official policy is to not hold the mother responsible, so she's allowed to murder freely. A consistent position would be abolitionist, which seeks to criminalize abortion the same way we do for murder. Unfortunately, whenever those types of laws are put forth, it's the pro life industry, not the pro choicers, who shut it down
But in India where the Hindu values are prevalent this is not an issue. So....what Hindu values Vivek is talking about?
He’s not running, he withdrew.
This episode was recorded when he was running for president. 😊
There is a strong likelyhood that he may become Trump's VP.
I am watching for the same. Close to Trump. VP candidate?
You should watch Vivek’s interview with George Janko….then get Jeff Durbin on that show🤯
I liked Ramaswamy when he was still running, but this was my dilemma were he to make it to the primaries: Do you vote for the Hindu who bears an ostensibly Christian worldview (when examining policy), or do you vote for the "Christian" who bears a pagan worldview?
Or.... You just use basic common sense and vote on policy that align with your values? Common sense. Religion does not matter that much when America has religious freedom and liberty. You can be an atheist for all I care and still be an excellent leader that puts the country in the best position for all of us.
That is a valid point. I'm thinking of the South Carolina Senator Mace who calls herself Christian yet is living in sin. I can't support someone that calls themselves Christian and yet is a false convert because it destroys the testimony of Christians.
First of all let me make this clear: we have freedom of religion in our country. I voted for Tulsi Gabbard to be my assemblyperson and she was excellent for the district. We need to vote for the ones who are America first.
If only all Christians like you. Saw another commentator above bashing Vivek because he has faith in 'million gods' lol.
@hitmanabhi007 There are many sects in Hinduism just as there are many denominations in Christianity. Some do believe in one almighty God. I've never been curious enough to look into Vivaks religion but for a position of great power in our country I want a person who puts our country first.
I stopped being weirded out by Vivek's religion potentiality being in the WH when I remembered that Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Trump all call themselves "Christians". If that's Christianity in the WH, then I don't think Vivek can do any worse.
He can do a lot worse and false Christian’s will always be a problem, Vivek just sounds really good so he has people fooled and I will admit he even fooled me until I dug a little deeper.
@@zenvultraHow deep did you actually dig and what did you find? These skeptics leave me unconvinced.
It’s about deception and manipulation. Even as Christians we are not perfect, but at least trying to live rightly according to God’s word. Hindu’s have many gods and it is false religion.
@@joshywashy3453 you will never hear an answer. They recite the same shit over and over again and say " do research and dig deeper and you will know" then go to silent. That's how you know they're bots.
@@patp1585 ok so if Vivek is raising his kids to be young, respectful men, being loving and devoted to his wife, providing, not being lazy, educated, intelligent, used common sense, hard working and also being charitable.... What does his faith have to do with his policies and how he carries himself? He knows more about the Bible than any politician who ran for office, he was graceful enough to be patient to educate others and be true about what HIS faith is and he WILL not force anyone to adhere and follow it in the campaign trail. Hes still on his Catholic schools board. What does his faith have to do with being a competent leader for this country when so called " Christians" have failed us for so many years?
I wrote this a while ago-
Understanding Vivek Ramaswamy's Vision (Chronology) for the American Evolution:
During his interview, the presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy requested his interviewer Jordan Peterson to "keep him honest". I commend him for his bravery to do so. However, I believe that he has an obligation to prove his honesty to the citizens of America by being transparent about his foundational religious beliefs and how he reconciles them with the Judeo-Christian values he claims to cherish.
What Vivek is offering is an alternative and comprehensive vision that, in my opinion, in its core contradicts the American framework for an equal and just society. It calls for wisdom and also a discernment of the chronology that he is implicitly proposing in order to prevent a future destined to bring 'God under nation'.
In my analysis (based on his interviews and public engagements), Vivek is setting out:
-To equate the two irreconcilable doctrines- The image of God & the Hindu doctrine of 'dharma' (duty, which he invokes here in this interview). Vivek should tell Americans what his view on 'dharma' is, and how he separates it from the idea of 'varna' (division of castes) which divides people on the basis of their station in life. As a Hindu ( or 'Sanatan Dharmi'), to validate his campaign rhetoric he must prove how he reconciles his view of 'ultimate reality' being impersonal with the biblical idea of a 'personal God'. Also, from his pantheistic point of view (Oneism), how does he arrive at appreciating creational polarity (Twoism) which is explicitly evident as the basis of American founding.
-To create a society that elevates 'duties over rights' as against the American genius of maintaining a delicate balance between the 'rights and duties' of its citizens in that order. (E.g. Vivek's call for conscription)
-To emphasize 'revolution' as the means of change, rather than 'reformation' as a means of empowerment. America needed a revolution to form a nation, and now that you have a nation you need a reformation to build it virtuously.
-To evolve a Republic by revising the Constitution, rather than preserving the Constitution to keep the Republic
-To shift the paradigm of 'intrinsic dignity' to a paradigm of 'acquired dignity' (Exercise of potential)
Vivek is a seasoned debater with a charm to capture the desperation of people and steer them to his cause. Given that he invokes 'god' in most of his engagements, I wish he would be forthright in presenting the doctrines of his faith and show how he arrives at cherishing the Judeo-Christian values that America is founded upon without presenting any contradictions.
I would like to remind my dear Americans who are embarking into a crucial phase of shaping and directing their nation
- A society slouching towards paganism would find it convenient and also necessary to invoke an 'unknown god', but it will unleash its full force of resistance when He is made known. When invoked, always inquire, 'which God?'
NB: I am not commenting on Vivek's candidature for Presidency, rather examining the implicit contradictions in his claims from his religious point of view.
I would support Vivek and his strong constitutional values over the fake Christian values of the last 10 presidents.
Exactly. At least he’s honest. And I’m not voting for a pastor.
@@TheEx-Hindu And who is in? Trump? Yes, he’s such a great Christian. You people are such hypocrites. Won’t vote for someone because they are honest about not being a Christian, but have no problem voting for someone that lies and says they are.
And he’s not going anywhere. He might not be running for president anymore, but he has Trump’s ear. He has already changed him mind on some things. I wouldn’t beat all surprised if he was Trumos VP pick.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Exactly!
Of course you can vote for who you want. These guys are simply discussing the assertions of compatibility between having a (non-Christian world view) here Hindu and a Christian world view. They are not compatible. We are called to love all men and as a result lead them to truth because we love them. The only truth is found in Christ. The uk has a Hindu minister who was doing his religious rituals outside 10 Down street. Scotland has a Muslim first minister who was pictured praying on his first day of office with his brothers/male cousins/the lot. Spiritual warfare is real, what is being invited into your societies. I’m not advocating pretending to be a Christian but we all make decisions based on what we believe (Atheist, Christian, etc.). What values do you want upheld. We know how it all ends with a one world system, we can’t stop what will be but we must be aware when we see birth pains and hopefully make decisions that glorify God. Neither can we mix light with darkness. Let’s prayer for men and women who fear the one true God to lead our countries.
Doesn’t matter if president is Christian. It matters what policies he pushes
Let’s all pray that Vivek will come to faith in Christ.
Christians are always looking for proselytising
😂😂😂 GLWT.
The future is Advaita Vedanta
😂 why would Vivek leave a sanatana dharma that is hindu religion to accept Christianity. Sanatana Dharma is ocean compared to Christianity which is small small fish in ocean 😂
Amen
brilliant episodes with this brother!
I don't get the motive of this video. You aren't seriously saying that one has to be a Christian to serve in America. I mean if that is the case you should have the same type of conversation on the front runner.
It's much more likely that Vivek is simply logically inconsistent than that he's intentionally lying and deceiving people.
People are messy-it's not like we are always logically consistent in every area of thought and life, especially for unbelievers.
Exactly!
Very informative! Thank you for your great work and courage. May God bless you!!!
🤯 This looks interesting
im 1000percent jesus christ follower and i like what ya all study in the word of god but trump 2024 ramaswamy 2028
🙌🙌🙌🙌
Same! ❤
If I could afford it. Maybe after I am done with trade school. I am so grateful for y'all. Your kindness to those still in always warms my heart.
Crooked stick straight line (trump)
Crooked sick straight line (Vivek)
I choose Vivek. He is much more radical.
Hope you all enjoy our latest episode!
This episode isn’t about who you should shouldn’t vote for, but rather a case study on thinking critically & scaling the language barrier.
By the time this released he already dropped out of the race, lol. Interesting insights though.
Keep an eye on him. He’s close to Trump. Could be the VP pick.
if anybody was thinking about wasting their time on this video, this is what I wrote in the comments about this fraud guy claiming to speak for Vivek "Looks like the indians from india are importing their rotten birth and last name based discrimination practices to the united states. The self identified "high caste" "brahmin" is too busy to actually get to know vivek but is willing to pass judgement wholesale on him based nothing except his own (self identified)so called 'high caste' based paradigm through which he views Vivek and the world. Christianity is being poisonwd by christians in ways that would make christ weep."
@TheCultishShow Learning hinduism from someone who has already a fight to pick with it, engrossing hinduism being so evil. Congrats keep quoting the misinterpreted verses claiming that what Vedas are meant to tell the Indian society.... So proud of you guys being no different from the leftists do here in India and also in the west 🫡
Thank you for this discussion y’all.
Sudra can also learn Vedas and become preist
Which Vedas were written by Sudra? How many % of Sudra are priest even in (modern) India?
@@TheEx-Hindu There is no law to prevent any one becoming priest,
I follow indian constitutional republic not vedas or bible or Quran
Many chief minster in india are from sudras
A Brahmin is doing business, Securing borders, Running companies etc
@@TheEx-Hindu MahaBharata and Ramayan are written by Ved Vyas and Valmiki who were shudra and yes , in the last 1500-2000 years caste has become rigid and was a horrible practice.
This gentleman saying that a Brahman can become a god made me think of this verse in 2 Thessalonians 2
3Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
Hinduism is about being free.
Free from whom? Over 60% of people in India lives under poverty and according to Apastamba Dharmasutra 2.1.2, they were born poor because of their karma. Even the gods are under the karmic cycle (Bhagavad Gita 4.5, Devi Bhagavata Purana 6.10, Mahabharata 13.6).
I see no freedom!
I just want to say, having watched many interviews and interactions of Vivek, and then watching the initial clip played before this episode: I never have sensed or observed Vivek seem like he was trying to mislead or conflate… I’m not saying he never has, but it was unsettling to see it so clearly in that clip. He avoided and conflated. He was deceptive in trying to convey that he incorporates Catholic principles into his life and/or, that there is a difference but no true distinction between Hindu and Catholic beliefs
Ancient india was organised based on profession , so the Brahmins where incharge of education etc , the kids born in the families would take up the family profession forward , Hindu is actually not a religion in ancient india, it was a term defining the region where india existed , the Christian’s misunderstood Hindu process and rituals as worshipping God , but they don’t worship , they have processes that gives them certain benefits , they are highly tolerant , and respect nature
Yes but you can never “advance”- sad
@@007gracie What is "advance" Care to explain? A non-Hindu from India here and so confused by American perceptions of Hinduism. Right until the American Civil War you had Christian missionaries convincing the enslaved people that it was their God-ordained destiny to be slaves and be subservient. If you go back just 200 years into American history, the inhumanity is unbelievable. Did the Bible advocate it? No, right! Hinduism goes back thousands of years, and westeners just never go beyond their own narratives about India and Hinduism. Indians are the most tolerant of all religious practices and live in peace. In all countries, there is a problem with inequalities of wealth distribution, so also India. If you have assimilatd the African Americans so have we our shudras if that's the problem.
FYI-Part III of constitution of India guarantees freedom of religion. Anti-Conversion law passed by states prohibit "Forceful Conversion" which in turn is enacted to protect individual's right to freedom of conscience and free profession, practice, and propagation of religion. India actually believes in secularism, for instance, former President of India was a Muslim & PM was a Sikh.
Hare Krishna’s are rampantly converting the people in the West, even without helping out with bags of rice. Should the West have the anti-conversion laws similarly like India? Rishikesh, Mayapur in India has become hotspot in converting the westerners. What say now?
People in the West are financially well-off, educated, have scientific temper and possess a rational mindset as compared to economically poor, literate but largely uneducated Indians who get converted for the money they receive from so called charitable institutions. People in the west convert bcoz of the philosophy in the Eastern religious texts that helps them find answers to deeper questions unanswered elsewhere. It is really difficult to convert a Westerner unless they are intellectually stimulated, which proves their free will.@@TheEx-Hindu
@@TheEx-Hindu they went their by own. Nobody forced them. No forced religion conversion their
The American model allows maximum Gospel outreach with maximum genuine faith, and any other model detracts from either category. The American model is imperfect due to an imperfect people, but it is the best model for the Church to utilize Gospel evangelism that results in more genuine repentance. Vivek Ramaswamy is the best Presidential candidate of the past century who seeks to uphold the American model at its roots. For that reason, I'm looking forward to his political career in the future. With that said, there is no career accomplishment nor political gain that can compare to the bosom of the Lord. Vivek Ramaswamy is a deeply lost man who must come to enjoy that same genuine repentance, and I'm hopeful that he will continue to be evangelized. For that reason, I'm looking forward to his personal conversion in the future.
This guy is trying to trash Ramaswamy based on his birth. No credibility here.
You should listen again. I️ thought the same thing, but his reasoning is more so that based off of his beliefs in Hinduism, his advocacy for Judeo-Christian principles are not consistent. And especially since he is born in the upper class, Hinduism sees that as more worthy than the lower class. He is basically saying he is saying two different and conflicting things.
Hope this helps!
@@mr.f6912never seen a so called lower class hindu indian person being jealous or feeling discriminated by vivek's upper class
@@kaze.14 Not sure what that means as that doesn't pertain to anything I️ said or that the video argued. It's an argument that his religion is inconsistent with what he is advocating. They did a great job with this video. It's definitely a topic worth looking at! God bless.
That guy has no idea about Hinduism 😂I am myself Hindu Tamil and I can confirm he is wrong in everything.
@@SunMoon477 Yes thank you! I almost feel pity for Apologia here. They're getting childish polemics and no knowledge of our faith from this guy 😂
Thank you. This is very interesting information😮
Today chief ministes ,prime minsters and president of india all are from sudras
Brahmin, Kshatriya ,Vaishya and the Shudra is a profession not a portuguese caste system
A brahamin is doing all jobs other than preist
Most of the cheif minsters in india are sudras
Kshatriya is a warrior but they are doing all jobs
Here this man is so wrong about the cast interpretation. Do you think any part of your body is not important. Without your feet you will not be able to stand or walk. Without your mouth you will not be able to speak. And with God it represents the same thing that every part of the body is very important and without every part the body is incomplete. There is no less or more here. The veda believe everything is made up of God that why we Vivek said we are equal because God is everyone of us. The namste ( the Indian way of greeting ) represents the same it means I'm great the god inside you.
I will first say that I like a lot of what Vivek is saying about what he wants to accomplish if he is president . I don't know what this conversation is suppose to accomplish, is it because he is Hindu and we should not support him, is it that he is Hindu and he is evil . We are a representative government bound by law with checks and balances and a Constitution. Do you think this is in danger of being eradicated by Vivek. He is not a Christian ok , yes it would be great to have a true believer in the White House .What we desperately need someone with Viveks views on the government, Judicial system, economics, 2 amendment and so many other areas . If we don't stop what is happening in America, there will be no America and the Socialist will take over.
Maybe I am looking into this conversation wrong and if so i apologize but your discussion about Hinduism looks and sounds like a call of action to not like or vote for Vivek.
Where can we find Sandeep? I've only seen his first name used.
Who are the 33 koti devta?
33 koti in sanskrit means 33 types of Devtas:
-12 Adityas: Chetra, Falgun, Baishakh, Jestha, Ashar, Saun, Bhadra, Ashwin, Kartik, Margh, Poush.
-8 Vasu: Earth, water, air, fire, ether, sun, moon, star.
-11 Rudras: Aatma, Praana, vyana, saamna, udaana, krikal, naag, kurma, dhananjax, devdutta.
-1 indra.
-1Prajapati.
You need to learn before you speak.
Not 330 Million devta
Doesn’t matter they’re all false gods. Believe in the true God Jesus Christ. John 14:6 - Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
@@zenvultra
God IS God... the fact you just say Jesus Christ and funnily enough using that as His name shows you don't actually understand or know.
One TRUE God CAN actually be interpreted by Hinduism as their TRUE Creator of all. As in, ONE God. People need to understand and learn how to interpret before they rattle on about garbage.
Like yourself AND this YT episode with the Indian Hindu guest. He's not speaking from true understand and/or enlightenment but bad understanding.
@@lukepoland2645 Which god are you talking about? There are many that claim to be god but they’re all false except one and that’s Jesus Christ. All gods can’t be the same because they say different things and have different teachings. Just because you say you’re “enlightened” that doesn’t automatically make you right. There is only one true God and that’s Jesus Christ and he revealed himself in creation, his word, and in the man God Jesus Christ who died for our sins so that we may be forgiven and are able to receive the gift of eternal life. Read the Bible and believe in the one true God Jesus Christ. John 14:6 - Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
@zenvultra4457
You LITERALLY wrote a passage from the bible and yet say God is Jesus Christ when he explicitly states "no one comes to the Father except through me"... Father being God. The one true and only God. 🤦
Stop referring to Him as Jesus Christ or better yet, if you want to use the translated name of Jesus then feel free but stop with the Christ part. Makes you appear clueless to the bible and to the faith and belief.
I believe in God. That's it. I believe in Yeshua as the embodiment and flesh of this world in human form as Gods creation.
However, YOU don't get to dictate and choose and JUDGE those who believe in God yet different to your opinions and views. Because I can guarantee you, that's NOT what Jesus would want.
@@lukepoland2645 It’s you that is ignorant of what the Bible teaches if you refuse to accept Jesus Christ is God along with God the father and the Holy Spirit and they are one God and co equal, it’s called the doctrine of the Trinity so YOU do research on that then come back. I’m not dictating anything I’m just going with what the Bible says and I gave you verses that prove what I said is true, unlike you who hasn’t given any verses and you’re just giving your false opinion. Here’s another one John 14:9 - Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
This entire video was very disappointing, and was not at all about Vivek, but about Hinduism, and seemed to only project what you assume Vivek believes or thinks, but not based on anything he has said. I have watched hundreds of Vivek videos and you would know if you had watched the most popular ones that Vivek states at the Patrick Bet-David interview/townhall that Vivek understands Jesus being a son of God (in Hinduism) and The Son of God (in Christianity) and that there is a difference. So just please stop projecting your insecurities or ideas about Vivek and do an actual theological analysis on what Vivek has SAID! Not on what you think he believes. Additionally Vivek went to a Catholic high school so his theological views have been molded uniquely. Also I would highly recommend watching the Jordan Peterson interview for more incite and analysis into Vivek's beliefs, also some of his IA townhall Vivek shares briefly about his faith.
EXACTLY!!!
Great points. I love Vivek. Hes a tremendous young talent for the conservative movement. BUT, the idea that a brahmin can be worshiped as a god is very eyeopening.
Obviously the caste system is a huge contradiction to Vivek’s words about equality.
😂😂 And Here I am from lower cast watching this clip and thinking Vivek is not the only one but this guy is also distorting truth way beyond imagination. Ex-Hindu Christian : Validity of Christ. By that logic ex-christian Hindu means??. 😂 I don’t remember Vivek saying " I am Christian " but that he shares similar values. In India how many people of faith lives?? How the last of Zorastrains, Bahai, Jews all of them survived?. I am not going to attack christ as he is my favourite inspiration beside Rama and Buddha. O right please do mention Ramayana was also written by a Lower cast from Valmiki Sampradaya 🙏
I believe that Vivek will one day become a follower of Jesus.
I hope you’re right
That would make sense, Hinduism is a joke, might as well believe in Greek mythology.
@@dominiquetatum7034 The oldest religion on earth, and the only one that never tries to "sell" itself to lure or convert more people. Yep, it's definitely a joke.
@troywilliams1763 I would rather have a man that has aligned faith with cristianity and follows one god than people who pretends to be christ followers but actually arent

Its clips like these that are exactly why I subscribe to this page. Excellent conversation!!
The levels of dishonesty and misdirection in this analysis is criminal.
And yet you provide not even one example, suggesting that these are your *feelings* about it, not facts.
@@andyjones1982Vivek is South Indian, and they have different rules than North Indian Hindus, and south India is more liberal than the north
@@andyjones1982 The idea that Hindus don't believe in the absolute unity of all creation (what you would simplistically call pantheism) is counter to the argument that hindus don't believe in the equality of all souls. The ignoramus you interviewed seems to be either dishonest or ignorant of basic "hindu" religion. These two propositions are identical to the Christian view that there is both an equality of nature and a hierarchy of value in God's creation. A Hindu can say that he believes all souls are created equal and be absolutely correct (Bhagavad Gita 5:18) and can also state that the variety we see in creation is due to the material qualities and circumstances of each being (some people are born poor, others rich, others with mental handicaps, others geniuses).
Trying to somehow make the argument that hinduism (an invented term that you folks keep using incorrectly and absurdly) is discriminatory because of hierarchy and ignoring context and similitude with the bible is absolutely ridiculous and an insult to the audience.
He said it best, lack of knowledge of scriptures. 😮
Mr. Sandip is missing many things about the Hindu faith. His understanding is limited. Hinduism is broad religion with no narrow strict ideas, the way Mr. Sandeep is trying to paint it.
Hinduism is more a way of life than a structured religion and things can be interpreted in many different ways. Vivek Ramaswamy has been quite truthful about what he has said about his religion.
The term “caste,” meaning social stratification, is of Spanish and Portuguese origin and borrows directly from the hierarchical social structure prevalent in Europe in colonial times, strains of which can be seen in European society even today.
Christian Caste system

Well-explained! : )
😂😂😂 where did you find this Hindu expert
He is quoting wrong about Rig veda
Pronounced Vivek like Cake. (Vuh-vake)
This is like splitting hair! Indian constitution gives freedom of religion. How each politician uses it may change. But the foundation laid is clear and strong. America says it has judeo Christian values as foundation , but is that how your country lives these days? How Christian are your president and other politicians?
This scammer is no expert on Vivek, he can't even pronounce his name. He appears to call himself "higher caste" and he doesn't sound like he's from Uttar Pradesh at all from his accent, which again shows he's spouting his background for clout clout which he doesn't have. This is pathetic, Vivek has already said he would take the oath on the Constitution of the United States not a religious book. This channel is pathetic to have someone on like this, doing disservice to Christianity and losing goodwill of people.
“Truth”. Jesus is the truth, and unless you don’t recognize this, you cannot exercise truth.
Vivek is pro life, and pro constitution, you guys looks like fools going after him like this.
Get a metal straw.
good points. this is why I'd never vote for Barack Obama.
The speaker is talking about himself and his own family and not for Hindus. He should stop putting on the dishonest garb of claiming that he speaks for all Hindus. The main Hindu scriptures were compiled or written by sudras or untouchables. Mahatma Gandhi gives a better understanding of Hinduism than the speaker. There are many authoritative writers in English on Hinduism and these should be consulted if one wishes to know about Hinduism and if these are consulted the speaker's charlatanry would be exposed.
Let’s make this video go Viral!
Trump-Ramasamy 2024
I truly pray that doesn't happen
😂😂😂 46 Christian PRESIDENT, AND HERE ARE CHRISTIAN STRUGGLING...
KEEP CRYING THERE IS NO WAY OUT FOR YA....ITS DONE!!
Sandeep talks about evidence. Where is the evidence that Kauravas went to heaven? Sandeep himself admits most of the Hindu books are less than 500 years old. Thus we cannot rely on those books. Unless you have concrete 7,000 year old evidence when Mahabharatha war happened we cannot trust any book! Also has Sandeep gone to heaven? I thought we have to die first!
Just for a context to counter this so called ex-hindu "sandeep" who is now christan , In india Lord ram sit and eat with Lower Cast lady named 'Sabri' and he refer her by saint-lady not as shurda,
This guys is trying to say that just because Vivek is hindu and brahman it automatically makes him the worst whereas our Indian PM Modi is from Backward Class but is managing perfectly the whole country ,Our FM is from Brahman and Defence minister is from warrior class but no one in india say anythinv about caste but these western people create class divide.
Every religion has some issue and challenges like in our religion there was a time when widow would be asked to die with her husband as practice which was create somewhere in after mugals invaded india,
When our lord Ram's father died but no one asked wife of Lord Dashrath(Lord Ram's Father) to follow that practice because it was not follwed during that time.
Even Christan has some bad rituals like most famous one is Crusaders who killed millions for not following a particular religion.
Also,who will justify this fact that Hitler alone responsible for the death of millions jews and he did all of that becaue of his christan beliefs.
It is very sad to see that such Christan are now try to bring some disgruntal ex-hindu to prove that vivek is coming from some bad religion.
On one side America call it progressive and otherside such behaviour
Hitler was not Christian so that’s a false statement you have made. Christianity is true whether people believe in it or follow it fully is a different problem altogether but that’s why we need a savior because we can’t meet God’s perfect standard of morality and righteousness, that’s why the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay our sin debt on the cross and offered us the free gift of eternal life by simply believing in him and trusting in him by faith.
@@anujyoutube58 So if one person that’s Hindu does something bad does that mean all Hindus are bad and that Hinduism is evil? No that would be foolish to say that but that’s the false logic you’re using. Just because some bad people that were Christian did evil things that doesn’t make Christianity evil. In fact with Christianity we can say it’s evil because Jesus Christ said in Matthew 22:37 - Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ And in Mark 12:31 - And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” Hebrews 9:27 - “And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,” And in the 6th commandment God said Thou shall not kill. So we can say it’s wrong in Christianity but in Hinduism there is reincarnation and an endless cycle of life and death so why are you complaining about it?
Mark 9:40 whoever is not against us,is for us. So even if hes not a Christian, hes not against us.
What you did was demonic that verse is about people who do good in Jesus name. Not people who practice fake religions.
But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
40 For he that is not against us is on our part.
41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
More over in context
2 Corinthians 6: 13-15
13 Now as a recompense for this (I speak as unto my children), be ye also enlarged.
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers, for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
@@person6768You know what? Your comment makes me appreciate hinduism even more😂 Atleast they are tolerant and don't call Christianity or any other religion FAKE! I'm sorry brother but if u think as such then u're no different from thos radical muslims who behead non muslims and take pride in that. This very thought of urs wud one day may lead some fanatic killing others for following FAKE religions. There are millions following Christianity in India but I don't see hindus (majority religion there) shunning them outright or calling Christianity as fake!
Vivek does a Barack Obama impression.
Shudras? Hot molten lead? What nonsense is this. Totally this guy is distorting everything. While Abrahamic religions take you upto heaven, Hinduism talks of the same heaven but takes you further so you merge into the divine consciousness.
Hinduism is false so there is no heaven for you. Believe in the true God Jesus Christ who is in the true heaven. John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
@@zenvultra These are the same things said in Hinduism. Anyway don't have time to get into these arguments. So be happy with your religion as others are with theirs. Let us live peacefully.
@@zenvultraWhat abhramics had done in the last 2 previous centuries to greek, Romans, Egyptian,native Americans. They wiped out their whole religion and imposed monotheism on them.
Hindus had fought, slaved, lost but again we did not give up our pagan culture against these abhramic monsters. We will surely survive for another 1000 years.
@@peacek6909don't bother arguing with this one. He clearly doesn't understand ANYTHING and acts as if he's "Christian" without realising he understands perhaps 5% of it all.
@@zenvultraHinduism is the oldest of all belief systems to ever exist. And in your own words, it doesn't explicitly mention that Christ is the only path to salvation. If you believe in him, then yes and good for you. If someone else believes in something else that would lead to the god, then good for him also. As for me, I still don't know anything.
We don’t know exactly what Vivek believes…I wonder if he only accepts some of the Hindu teachings. Only way we would know is if someone has an interview with him, which probably needs to happen.
This podcast was very well done, thank you for helping to inform us Christians about Hinduism.
I'm not a huge fan of the Sandeep character. Clearly approaching with a chip on his shoulder from how his Hindu family treated him when he left the religion. Most Hindus beliefs are evolving, just as there are many denominations of Christianity, there are many schools of belief in Hinduism. Even current day Hinduism is vastly different from Early Vedic Hinduism.
Many Hindus I know in the USA tend to accept truly exceptional beings as part of the divine. As Vivek said, there is Brahman, the all prevading divine energy, and of that it takes many forms in the form of many Gods. It's only natural that a holy being such as Jesus must be part of that energy.
Thankfully as Vivek said, He was aiming to be Commander in Chief, not Pastor in Chief.
Or we can have people who claim to be Christians who violate everything that makes Christianity great. But if it's all in the name so be it.
Exactly!
Seems like I lose more and more respect for this channel over time... I don't see much fruit, but I see a lot of criticizing everyone else
This channel has helped me more than words can describe. God is working through them bc God works through broken people. They’re not perfect, but neither are you and I. It’s hard for me to “lose respect” for people who are willing to stand up for Jesus in the cross hairs of our modern society
The channel is literally named Apologia. This means contending for the faith against every other worldview and person or persons who uphold them. The war that we are perpetually in throughout this life is a truth war. Either you don't understand the significance of contending for the faith that has been once and all delivered to the saints, or you're coming from a false pretense and you don't believe in these things anyway.
I don't trust him! Because of his religion and certain tactics, verbal
Better than the communists and leftists. Even if he isn't a Christian, at least he believes there's a moral standard outside himself that he ought to stick to.
@@BertoleyusPretty wild that a Christian is biased against someone bc of their religion lol.
I don't think his beliefs would be good for our society. Thank you
We survived a Muslim leftist president for 8 years. A potential Hindu right wing president? We'll be just fine...
@@justchilling704 what do you mean by "biased"? I recognize there's a difference, for sure.
This is utter rubbish
Come back to the CATHOLIC CHURCH.....
Hope a large portion of this discusses Vivak platforming Alex Jones and running cover for the “red-pill” “truth”(conspiracist) movement… but I won’t hold me breath.
A. Jones lies for a living. He slanders the truth and any standard of rationality, logic or consistency on a daily basis. He spews a disgusting version of quasi(false)-“christian” fascist mysticism in order to sell bogus barely-regulated “health” supplement snake oil and emergency food bucket garbage, oh and precious metal grifts. He’s an apocalyptic radio false prophet who would make Nostradamus either blush or proud- not sure which. He’s in bankruptcy currently for his unashamed lies about Sandy Hook et al. If you can listen to an hour of “Infowars” and not reflect on the indefensibility of your statement that AJ is “more correct than wrong” then we aren’t starting on the common ground of Truth to begin with and you prove my point. The sad fact is what counts as “christian” today has more in common with any other mystical false religion with its scores of false prophets, false teachers and hirelings whose god is their belly and love money, buildings and the praise of men.
Proud user of plastic?
If one is not a Christ follower; the opportunity for betrayal can arise according to the holy scriptures. And soo....😒...ummm🤔 can't be trusted. Jesus is the truth so if you deny the truth how can I trust you to tell the truth....real sus....😬
Whats closer to look? He's a salesman thats doing business in the Republican party.
Best video! Vivek is a salesperson. He is a scammer
I am glad vivik was not the leader of the conservative side, Hinduism has less gods than mormonism but the LDS church worships 1 over all. And the Hindu god is not the God of israel.
LDS do not worship the God of Israel either. They worship a counterfeit
God of Israel? Huh...?
Just God... of ALL.
Wtf are you even on about?
@@lukepoland2645 God of israel is God of all, given your launguage I will assume your an immature child, I will make it easy for you, I said it for the disambiguation of the gods of Hinduism and The 1 true God of israel. Do you understanIsrael.
Cult leader rameshwamy 😄Ok this better be a good one.
Can’t beat Trump the cult-leader ;)
Trump is what you and I would call a populist. Not of the deep state uniparty political elite. This fact of the matter can be expressed in his bloodline actually. Trump is the only president that does not have any recent ancestors who owned slaves. The only one👌
This whole discussion is totally stupid and based on this they only deserve Biden for another 20 years and we will be done
Trump needs tucker as VP, not Vivek.
Good grief just because someone has a good head on their shoulders doesn’t mean they belong in political office. We need someone like Tucker in the place he’s in. We need someone else to be VP, to be President. We all have different strengths and just because someone’s strengths involve fame doesn’t mean we should make them a political candidate. They’re often more valuable elsewhere.
Tucker the full-bore Putin boot-licker eh? Yeah, no.
@@ReformedSooner24 his foriegn policy takes are worse than omer
Vivek blurs the lines way too much. Maybe he really doesn't know how much Christianity is opposed to hinduism from growing up in America but Christians can not mingle or fellowship with hindus/ new age. Now i personally don't trust Vivek at all. I'm amazed at how many Christians raise up this guy but i say use discernment. We don't know that he is truly genuine if he isn't even upfront regarding the differences in our faith. Yes YHWH can use non Christians and does use non Christians for his will but surely we can't lower our standards so drastically. Why can't we raise up Godly men to positions of leadership in our nation? What can light have to do with darkness? If he turns to Christ Jesus and forsakes and exposes Hinduism then perhaps i can see him as a leader for this nation but i feel something is off. And i get it he seems better than all the leftists but i personally do not feel right about him. If a brother or sister in Christ does though i would not argue over it but im only saying something is off to me. He says all the right things and makes all the right moves in an almost to perfect way. He lifts up and exposes all the things people want exposed yet he doesnt leave Hinduism, i see so many comments angry at cultish for discussing the way vivek tries to make Christians feel warm and fuzzy and like best buds and being disrespectful over someone not agreeing with them about a politician. We should be able to discuss how Trump is not a Christian but merely uses Christ to rally up voters and we should be able to discuss Vivek being sneaky regarding the incompatibility of Hinduism and Christianity. All that being said if you support these men they are seemingly better than any leftist and i will never argue over a politician with a brother or sister in Christ. But we should be able to lovingly discuss these things
Rather an atheist christian hindu converted muslim jew who knows how to take rational decisions and thinks critically than a nonsense guy pushing christianity
Bro I am Christian from India a Pentecostal born again christian..90 percent of Indians are hindus.. Who do you think I vote for in India.. Most of our leaders are Hindus.. So who do you think we vote most the Hindus.... So if I think like you..then I would never be able to vote for anybody in India.. The largest democracy in the world.. 1.4 billion people..
Ummmm sorry but all that dribble and you stating Christians can't mingle with Hinduism is laughable.
You aren't a "Christian" or completely understand all of it properly with how you're acting/talking.
I seriously don’t believe that Vivek is a devout Hindu he strikes me as a very worldly and intelligent man who is striving for balance, there may or may not come a time where he accepts Jesus as the one true God but I feel he is sincere he certainly knows more about Christianity than most
You value religion so much that it sounds like you lack basic common sense and more feeling and emotion. My goodness.
No politicians, Hollywood stars, or any person can save you. Only Jesus Christ

This Hindu guy has no idea what he’s saying.
I am born to a Hindu father and Christian mother.
To cut the story short. Everything is energy. If u live in a different vibration of understanding then that’s cast system.
That happened because of your past experience.
Both has 1 GOD and many gods(angels in Bible)
It’s all same. If u live the way Jesus lived u will live forever which is positive.
Krishna and Jesus are exactly same.
Anyone noticed that VR pronounces his name in a fancy way (Vivéyk) -- not in the natural way it's supposed to be? You know he's trying to put up a fake image. Don't trust.
Even in India, you pronounce Vivek the same way he does. Stop the bs lol
Jesus name in Hebrew is yeshua so Is he fake ??

Vivek is a liar and the truth is not in him. Moreover he had a Democrat Charity pay for his college the year he made 2 million dollars. He's bright and he knows what to say but that doesn't make him Christian.
He never claimed to be a Christian. What did he lie about?
He said iam a hindu
I never lie about my faith
Iam not a christian
Why should he become like a christian like barak Hussein Obama
@@edwardmclean5373he didn't lie. Some of these ppl are just uninformed.. or just plain ignorant and can't fathom things properly.

This is ridiculous. He explained the scholarship. Nothing wrong with it and I can’t find anything I disagree with except he isn’t a Christian.
