"what one finds in divine is often a reflection of what one is"...... SIMPLY SUPERB!!
Simply confusing.
@Prem Varun You are non-sense.
@@RavenclawFtW3295 You are confused not others.
@Joe Smith he is a genius.
@@RavenclawFtW3295 Simple. Creator (formless divine + intelligent energy) = Created (formless divine + intelligent energy). It means there is no separate creator or creation. Formless divine is both immanent and transcendent in nature. This is hindu/vedic metaphysics. It is different from polytheism which propagates only the immanent nature of the formless divine. Monotheism propagates just the transcendent nature of the formless divine. Hindu/vedic metaphysics can validated by logic, experiment (double slit quantum experiment) and experience (focus + meditation)
People who are confused about Atheism in Hinduism need to observe the video carefully. The orator says that Hinduism does not ask for devotion as compulsion. So it allows you to be an atheist and judges you on the basis of Karma. Beside that, go through Nasadiya Sukta in Rig Vedas, which promotes the idea of Atheism.
Thank you, this is a topic I am trying to understand. It seems like atheism and Hinduism may be compatible due to how 'God'/Brahman/consciousness is viewed in Hinduism.
jredhills Mind you, it doesn't promote the idea of atheism but instead it promotes the idea of questioning the existence of God.
ABDUL KARIM Ok bro, at first tell me, have you read Veda or Bhagawat Geeta?? Tell me the meaning of Veda..
ABDUL KARIM The Nasadiya sukta from Rig Veda 1. Then even nothingness was not, nor existence,
There was no air then, nor the heavens beyond it.
What covered it? Where was it? In whose keeping?
Was there then cosmic water, in depths unfathomed?
2. Then there was neither death nor immortality
nor was there then the torch of night and day.
The One breathed windlessly and self-sustaining.
There was that One then, and there was no other.
3. At first there was only darkness wrapped in darkness.
All this was only unillumined cosmic water.
That One which came to be, enclosed in nothing,
arose at last, born of the power of heat.
4. In the beginning desire descended on it -
that was the primal seed, born of the mind.
The sages who have searched their hearts with wisdom
know that which is kin to that which is not.
5. And they have stretched their cord across the void,
and know what was above, and what below.
Seminal powers made fertile mighty forces.
Below was strength, and over it was impulse.
6. But, after all, who knows, and who can say
Whence it all came, and how creation happened?
the gods themselves are later than creation,
so who knows truly whence it has arisen?
7. Whence all creation had its origin,
the creator, whether he fashioned it or whether he did not,
the creator, who surveys it all from highest heaven,
he knows - or maybe even he does not know.
ABDUL KARIM it asks some fundamental questions about God especially in the last line

As a fellow polytheist Hinduism 🕉 seems really cool.
Hinduism is not polytheistic
@@PhilipADitko well core belief is polytheist because we also believe in bramhan the almighty.
@@niteshyamgar3276 Brahman the almighty is all-encompassing. it exists in all gods, all gods are various forms/avatars of the one. God in Hinduism isn't just some "sky daddy/mommy", but rather like the Force from Star Wars
@@PhilipADitko Everything is Brahman in Hinduism.
Brahman is no more God than it is Tree or Human, there are many gods, many humans, many trees, but one Brahman.
@@mrmoth26 It's still a supreme being force that encompasses all life. Ergo, a god.
Beautiful explanation of polytheism and why its way more benefical to human society than monotheism. Coming from a roman catholic background and now worshipping the old greeco-roman pantheon it feels like an liberation to the soul. May you my hindu brothers and sisters be blessed. May Jupiter Optimus Maximus, Vesta dea candida and Minerva dea sapientia watch over you and keep you safe.
Are the Greek gods a manifestation of one divine God or are they separate?
Thank you. May the twin Ashwins, Lord Indra, Lord Brihaspati, Lord Dhanwantari protect you.
Virginia Plain first there was chaos and then he created many primordial gods who then created titans and in some instances gods. Then titans created gods and the main Olympians
@@tavasp There is an important difference between Polytheism and hInudu/vedic metaphysics. Polytheism just propagates the immanent nature of the formless divine but hindu/vedic metaphysics is all about immanent and transcendent nature of the formless divine. Monotheism just propagates the transcendent nature of the formless divine
@@Dharmicaction I was talking about Greek mythology, but it seems like they removed their comment
Hinduism is like Democracy!!
What about the caste system and the killing of the outcasts?!
7 セブンズ 7 Instead of making fun you should appreciate other religion our Hinduism teaches us ....and you people are like dumb because you people believe on media . You should come to India to watch the real Truth .
@@naser1109 There are warped people in all groups. Christians, muslims, buddhists, hindus, etc... all have people who believe yet act evil. They don't represent the group.
@the citizen In reality, rape occurs near the same in all parts of the world. It's basic statistics, no one countries people are naturally worse than another. Everyone lives different lives and are exposed to different people, teachings, and media. Indians aren't above that, as aren't any other group of people. We all do our best to stop such injustices and Indians are trying their best to make sure rape has no place in their society.
@@Raytracem3 Rape does not exist in the same amount within all people of this world lol.
Atheist is usually defined as not believing in God. Now of course ‘God’ needs to be defined. In the west (Christianity and Islam) God stands for a personal God who is separate from human beings and in one case has a son whom he sent to earth and in the other a last prophet. Now in India, this God is not considered the Ultimate. In India, the Ultimate, Brahman, Paramatman, Tat, whatever you call it, is all pervading, not personal. It is the life, energy, awareness, essence of everything manifested. It is what is unchanging in midst of this changing universe. Science discovered the one energy underlying every appearance. India’s wisdom discovered that this energy is conscious.
Now, this Brahman is not imaginable, it cannot be grasped by the mind, but since it is our essence, it can be felt, realized as real. To be able to realise it, the scriptures give some methods, like jnana or bhakti. Here comes in the personal God. To feel love (bhakti) for That, which is form- and nameless, it is helpful to direct it towards a form and name, which acts like an access point, i.e. Shiva, Devi, Krishna, Ram, Ganesh, etc…
In Hinduism you need not have an Ishta deva. You can do Jnana Yoga (trying to get to the one truth by enquiry) and many more paths are there. You are basically a Hindu when you acknowledge that there is a conscious basis or cause to that universe including your own person, that is immanent and even beyond and it would make sense of course to try to connect to that, more so, since the Rishis claim it is possible…
Unfortunately, in the west the Hindu concepts are not known. So when people lose faith in Christianity, they reject also ‘God’, not knowing that the personal God is not the real, ultimate truth.
FYI read this isn't my comment jus search for author her name is Maria Wirth
Thank you
Abhishek Rana very true
It is search the author you will love her veiws
Hi, I consider myself an atheist (I live in the west) but I think I get what that quote is saying and it sounds a lot like what I believe. However, I wouldn't say that I think consciousness "caused" the universe. That sounds like they're separate things. My view is that all of reality has sentience as part of its nature (exactly how it works idk obviously, but this is the general idea). Is this what you meant?
Very true
There is only one God and he has no Children.
I never thought about it like that. This video was great and really helped me understand
Polytheism makes the most sense to me that’s why I follow the Celtic Irish pantheon a lot of our gods are similar yet different.
In Irish mythology, Danu ([ˈdanu]; modern Irish Dana [ˈd̪ˠanˠə]) is a hypothetical mother goddess of the Tuatha Dé Danann (Old Irish: "The peoples of the goddess Danu"). Though primarily seen as an ancestral figure, some Victorian sources also associate her with the land.[1]
Danu, a Hindu primordial goddess, is mentioned in the Rigveda, mother of the Danavas. The word Danu described the primeval waters which this deity perhaps embodied. In the Rigveda (I.32.9), she is identified as the mother of Vritra, the demonic serpent slain by Indra.[1] In later Hinduism, she becomes the daughter of the god Daksha and his spouse Panchajani, and the consort of the sage Kashyapa.[2]
In Irish as well as Hindu Mythologies, there is Danu.
If we observe well, there is always, a small, but a link between every ancient religions. Every ancient religions are polytheistic, and many deities of different religions are quite similar.
But whatever, according to me, Hinduism is the best. Its true. Hinduism can tell all those things, which no religion can tell.
it's illogical. why can't you just believe into one perfect god that has nothing human.
a god that makes everything.
@yitzhak shekkelsteingoldmanberg ek satyam vipra bahudha vadanti " it is also there
The gentleman Mr.Vijayendra Mohanty is such a wise personality.
Enlightened and inert!
I bow down to you sir!
Polytheism is Scientific and Logical with Peace.
Amazing video. Trying to simplify Hinduism, is a heavy task in itself..! Kudos!
One special request.. Can you make a video on how Atheists/Agnostics form a part of this (like you mentioned in this video). Its very tedious to explain the concept of Hindu Atheists to people from monotheistic religions.. I can refer them to the video to make things simple :)
+Nishit Raj Hello Nishit. You might be interested in learning about the Brihaspatis or the Charvakas. :)
Nitin Krishna yup, exactly !
+Nishit Raj Atheist are also a part of Hiinduism, Hinduism mainly like other religion is not focused on gods and pleasing god etc its a part of it you can be an atheist and still be hindu by taking the goods from hinduism or just celebrating and understanding it anyways it the most scienifly proven religion compared to others.
***** I don't disagree
I'm interested in this as well.
I'm an atheist in regard to the way Christians and Muslims define God, but the Hindu way seems more broad and fits better with the real nature of the world, although I'm still a bit confused about how exactly they view Brahman. I can't tell if my view of consciousness is similar or not because the explanations of Brahman always seem very vague and aren't really clarified from what I can find.
I'd like to find an article, book, or video that elaborates and clarifies this.
Team........ I can't thank you enough for the simple/short/crisp/smart videos U create........... thanks a million!!!
Read bhagwad Geeta
This topic is wonderfully explained
I think Deities is better word than Gods
I hate to disagree but Monotheists poke fun with the word Deity. And Gods is more unified. Because if you unite deity it will remain deity. But Gods united will be God. God has a spiritual height.
God is the appropriate word.
Because you are comfortable with that. Others are not.
Gods
@@sanatangyanaurbigyan8670 but, thats dont define potential
Wonderful and put across so simply....kudos creators
I'm an atheist by western and Christian/Muslim standards, but when I read about Hinduism, the overall Hindu concepts of all living beings as manifestations/parts of a pervading conscious nature of the cosmos matches up quite closely with my own views in many ways.
I'm still trying to figure out how to conceptualize the nature of sentience and how unified a possible underlying consciousness might be (as opposed to consciousness being something that only occurs in in bits at a time and there is no ultimate single mind). But still, Hinduism (and Buddhism as well) both have very strong similarities to my own way of thinking.
So I wonder if some Hindus would consider me to not be an atheist since their notion of God is different from the west.
well your making an amazing job not only are you creative but being so informative to us ... esp when we dont know much this is helpful i may not be a believer but im happy to understand that all the gods in hindu was a way of showing the different minds man can have . Really enjoyed the video will be watching all thanks a lot fellows !!! .................. INDIA ROCKS ..
hey i really want the artist Girish to know he is doing an amazing job i love the way he has outlined and brought in the details as well being an artist myself i wanna give you the biggest fattest thumbss up for this excellent work in this and every other video !!!
Great work waheguru jee🙏 encouraging people to stick with our culture and their purpose in English language is really great.... May waheguru give u more strength
Superb!!! Our brothers and sisters from India are awesome! I am from Europe, and that makes me Indo-European, I feel very close to Indian people because we used to share so much in common. Before Christianity we used to believe in many gods, and I think it's a big loss for us. We now see our ancient religions as "myths" and "superstitions" like it's cool and yet ridiculous. But as this cool gentleman that made the videos, we simply focus on the wrong usage. The point is not to be "right" or "true", this concept cannot be understood by humans, but what we need so that all of us find a divine reflection of who we are. Well done I really like the video!! :) Have a great day!!
@yitzhak shekkelsteingoldmanberg Now today's plz explain how a hindu pray then ?? According to vedas ?? Lolz Now We hindu's need to know our dharma form a mellcha 🤣
@yitzhak shekkelsteingoldmanberg I have some of lamo type cuts, can I share ??🤣
@yitzhak shekkelsteingoldmanberg But the monotheistic core of all the 3 Abrahamic religions says that there is just a transcendent god who is totally disconnected from the universe but still can create the universe and its "laws of nature" out of thin air and override them (whenever wanted) and control everything by just using a magic wand😊
@yitzhak shekkelsteingoldmanberg don't need your approval
wow...amazingly presented knowledge made understand able through simple visuals . I highly appreciate the work and effort. It felt good
इतने जटिल सवाल का, इतना सरल जवाब !!
अब तक तो और कहीं नहीं देखा। अद्भुत !!
So aptly written!
There are 33 types of god not crores of god in Hinduism.
+keshav pagar
A correction- yes, 33 types and 1 crore of each type.
According to scriptures- It's a higher dimension world and God is above them in hierarchy. These demigods or devatas are like assistants of God. Why? Because they want to serve God but have enjoying mentality or willingness to enjoy in this material world. So their desires are also accommodated like every one else's.
here in old sanskrit language koti means main.. and we must not take this literary of the integer 33..as then 0 (zero) as integer still to be invented the term actually suggest 3 Gods and 3 goddess.
You are right Keshav, may I ask you where did you read that ??
please reply
You are right Mrinal , may I ask you where did you read that ??
please reply
I read it here about hindu gods indiaopines.com/33-crore-gods-hindus-hinduism/
Although the word "Polytheism" is not right for describing Hinduism. Pluralism (not many Gods, many ways to the same God) is a more accurate term. However I liked the content of the video..! It delivers the message.
Great uploads, guys!
Of course, you analysed it as concept created. But it is synthesized as concept explained.
Kudos!! You are really doing an adorable work!
Beautifully explained.
Thank you!
Þanicie þē!
This video depicts my thought process and rationale behind many gods logic. Happy to see it in visual form and aptly put. Very well done. Thanks for reinforcement.
The best so far !
Here I am giving the a bit summary of Vedanta to remove confusion regarding pluralism of God-
Ultimate Brahma is only reality, it is without form, without any material quality (like Hegel and Spinoza's god in western world) etc. Each body has holy spirit which is pure a and similar to Brahma. Soul is itself Brahma but when spirit associated with body(form with material world), as a material quality, spirit forgot the real nature of its purity and start take participation in this material world. It causes for the sad, happiness, frustration etc.. So this cause for the bondage of spirit......So how we can find the liberation.??? Spirit + Soul is a finite one who is willing to find infinite one (Brahma) while spirit is itself a infinite. So here comes the role of different god. Vedant and Bhagvad Gita propounded that there are many path which are different path to reach one destination. So people make their own ideal god according to their own comfort way (like-Lord Rama for idealistic person, Lord Krishna for realistic persons, Durga Goddess to remark victory of good over bad etc etc ..) who had done remarkable work based on their some principles based on like- truth, honesty, welfare and serving people etc)which become an ideal way to find the liberation. Their path principles become the bench mark and people like to follow their path to find the liberation.
But again How a spirit can realize the true nature of its purity i.e. Brahma. Actually these refined pure commandments and principles help and cause for the removal of ignorance (material qualities) for true nature of its spirit and when these principles follow then it starts realising its true nature and ultimately it realises its own real nature ie. Brahma himself.
Awesome painting And execution skill which convey real contex.
All Religions are True - All lead people to One Truth - One Being
William Todd finally someone said the correct thing. Thank you sir.
@@dxruling and @ William Todd may I please ask how can all religions be true and lead to one being if beliefs and even things of what is acceptable and not or who God is and whether you can have a personal relationship with Him or not.
The beauty of your video is that the explaination of super complex concept in very simplified way.I bow to you sir.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
🙇🏻♀️ you've resolved this exorbitant complexity which was too perplexing to handle.
Epified is the best channel for the basic understanding of unified diversity in Hindus
Thank you for the clear explanation, understood better now , good animation as well
Beautifully explained
There is no God ,never was any, never will be any .
Yes, there is just no transcendent "god" (based on monotheism followed by all the 3 Abrahamic religions) who is totally disconnected from the universe after creating it out of thin air using a magic wand.
Best description so far!
Thank You! 💜
Superb work Girish Malap!
You guys are amazing. This is first of its kind attempt to popularize Hindu mythology on the mass social media. I am a big fan of your Mahabharata series.
I have just one suggestion for these kinds of independent theme videos. Please, wherever possible and necessary, quote the source of the information so that those who are interested in further exploring the subject can be helped and further discussion can be built on it.
We are all gods
Sanatan dharm is the truth
Exodus says "I AM THAT I AM' meaning I am the supreme infinite soul everywhere but I can MANIFEST to what the finite mind perceives me to be due to their limited senses. Simple analogy is the story of the 3 blind men and the elephant. 3 blind men were asked to feel and describe an elephant. The 1st blind man who felt the tail described it as long and narrow. . The 2nd blind man who felt the ear described it as flat and thin. The 3rd blind man who felt the leg described it as thick and round. All 3 were not wrong because each had a different experience of the same elephant due to their limited senses. Same applies to us humans and our different concepts of the same one infinite supreme soul.
you know he is right, never realized this one.
u guys are doing a very good job! please keep uploading more videos.
I’m so much in love with this channel I’m surprised that I never came acrosss it
The Sikh Guru's teaches that there are many God's, like Brahma, Shiva, Vishnu, however, they are all great by the one, formless (Nirankaar) God. That formless God, can be described as the Force, it is all around us and every one of us can and are meant to connect with the One.
That's the purpose of the human life.
Great Job Guys!! waiting for more videos ..
Very nicely explained. Good. Thanks for uploading.
Believe Epified has tried to portray that all creation is manifestation of God , so also the deities . Its like a when we want to perceive sun through its reflection in a water pot of different forms . Sun is one but it has manifested itself through its reflection in different water pots .
Congratulate Epified for its simplistic approach but in some cases simplistic approach may create ambiguity . Further request to mention God (the trinity) and Deities (Demi Gods) separately to avoid confusion .
Truly an Outstanding One!
Now this will be my answer when people ask Why so many Gods?
Thank You Bandhu!
Don't blame sanatan dharm. It's a good dharm. There is only one god in Hinduism 🥰🥰🥰
you are stupid
@@MadGodSanti Why?
You are awesome Epified
Good video, I learned a lot
I was expecting something subversive, but this was good insight
Great job epic team.👍 will be more helpful for indians more than foreign guys....
Amazing! To say the least.
Because Hinduism isn't religion it's a way of living
Dogs, cats and terrorists also have their own "way of living" don't they? Point is it is too vague to describe hindu/dharmic tradition as "way of life". We can describe it by saying " Hindu/dharmic tradition was built around the well validated Vedic metaphysics Sankhya which is represented in the form of temples, deities, rituals, symbols, pilgrimage centers, mutts, festivals, YOGA/TANTRA, Ithihasas (Ramayana, Mahabharatha), puranas with allegorical stories which represent laws of nature, Shastras (dance, music, Vedas, upanishads) etc
Ur videos are awesome.. makes concepts simple n understandable with interesting art and narration.. Great work... very much appreciate..
nice very nice.who ever u r. ur doing grt work boss.keep going..
We have 1 God and 33 devtas
Simple explanation. This should have more views.
“Have you seen the one who takes as his god his own desire? Then would you be responsible for him”? Quran 25:43
Aren't even muslims responsible for their God? As they think it's their 'responsibility' to keep God's honor secure and intact by fighting and killing those who goes against their God?
Goblinkiller ameen Subhnallah
makes me proud
Beautiful videos and narration. We need more of you!!
this is literally like the best video i've ever seen
True!
god is just a concept.. there is no god but energy... which is manifested as everything.. so everything is god.. humans need concept of god for moral support as we are now and then facing small or big problems in life.. anything about which u feel grateful or beneficial you can pray to it.. your faith is important which gives u courage and positivity.. who is god is not important.. if someone wants to experience this energy they should try to connect with it directly through deep meditation.. otherwise concentrate on any manifestation of this energy.. this is what is our ancient knowledge.. proud to be born in this hindu culture where all the answers are already there...
Rahul Ranade plz read autobiography of yogi then u understand what is the meaning of God ..
Epic channel is very good, providing wonderful knowledge for religions and for other things also. and we almost get all answers of our questions.
This helps me understand a lot thx
Why have you stopped making videos now? These videos are so good.. I've been watching all of them
I am Hindu atheist✨
But there is no concept of "god" in Hindu tradition, is there? So, atheism cannot be applicable to Hindu tradition. Non translatable Sanskrit word Brahman is NOT the same as god. The word god and its definition are based on monotheism (followed by Abrahamic religions) which cannot be validated.
You guys are doing a good job.
Informative- Long Live Hinduism -the way of living- Sanadhana Dharma
Wow...broken down really well when it comes to the topic of diversity.
Hinduism is the quantum physics of religions.... There is no single answer......
Speechless.wonderful just thanks a lot.may god bless all of us
Hindu god are 33 crores it means..
33 crores = 33 types
there is a error in translation for last century
just love it
It's the best reply to those who make fun of Hinduism n it's god n goddess.
Amazing video !!
excellent explanation of polytheism
*pluralism
Best satisfied answer ever !!!
Thank you for the amazing video !
So That's the reason buddha incarnated himself as a atheist ?
Original Buddha (1900 BCE) followed Vedas (he did not deny athma) was a vegetarian and spoke Sanskrit. Fake Buddha (550 BCE) who spoke fake Pali and ate Beef was created by colonialists. The whole Nirvana Buddhist cult right now is based on the fake Buddha who was created out of thin air by colonialists to pit Buddhism against hindu/vedic tradition. They also created King Ashoka out of thin air to show that he converted from "bad hinduism: to good buddhism". Nice try.
@@indianmilitary 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Then who's right and who's wrong ?
No one is right no one is wrong everything is our perspective.
Hinduism is generally based on the one god with different avtars and that different avtars have different characters according to different people's
There is no concept of "god" in Hindu tradition. The word "god" and its definition are based on monotheism which cannot be validated. Non translatable Sanskrit word is not the same as god.
The Writer for this script nailed it! Well done.
He is an atheist now
search vimoh
This was actually very interesting. It reflects my own beliefs a little bit as well. I am not Hindu but I believe that there are an infinite amount of gods in the universe as well as one major god that is literally the universe and reality as we know it. My belief is that this major god doesn't care what we do or how we live and will simply exist even after Humanity fades into history and is forgotten completely. A bleak outlook but one I believe very strongly in.
Thats why whole universe is diverse ❤️🥰😊☺️👌
Wowww.. So beautifully explained 👌👌
I believe in spirituality, not religion and I find this perspective refreshing and thoughtful.
what a beautiful explanation of hinduism snatan daram thanks for knowalge sir
Excellent that Europeans & others must understand .... or rather comprehend .. Thnx...
That sounded logical.
The Logic Goes Beyond Your Imagination 🙏🙏
excellent
There are 33 type of God's
Well it's been hard to conceptualise the idea of polytheism....much less trinity and other theology... but trying to understand it without any light of other religions or pre-set of ideology is useful...
I wish to learn more about most things I can handle....
I wish to understand the depth in hinduism one day maybe.....
