namaskaram. as always very enlightening. What worries me is why our Govt is constantly ignoring Dr.Swamy. his intelligence & capability has been grossly under-utilised. I only pray he does not turn against the Govt ????
I live in the US, my daughters learn sanskrit here through sanskrit bharathi and they also wear the south indian lehenga every Friday evening once they are back from school as friday is holy for us...And also saturday during their sanskrit class. They love navarathri, deepavali and rangoli more than i do.myself
Hi Sree Iyer You have done a fantastic job, by inviting Swamy to this issue. There is no other person who can explain in such a simple and effective manner. I am simply blown away by this presentation. I would urge you to start a series on Sanatha Dharma talks. We need to touch upon, various topics such as upanishads, vedas shastras etc. pLease think about this.
We were waiting for a programme like this for a long time. Many thanks for a talk from Dr. Swamy explaining all the salient features of Sanatana Dharma. Now I suggest you take it forward and arrange talks by learned scholars representing the various schools of thoughts like Saiva, Vaishnava,saktheyam,and vaidikam and of course vedanta. This may help in clearing the misconceptions about Sanatana Dharma amoung the educated Hindus and all others who are interested in Hindu Dharma.

Namaskaram sri swamiji and shri guruji It is requested Such of this good efforts are to be in all our languages. so that more people will understand the truth of santhana dharma.
Perhaps that has been our greatest shortcoming.....we are so open to other ideologies that we do not recognise the greatness of a religion that allows you to question and then have your own beliefs. Not only do we not prostelyse, we do not understand our roots or protect our religion, and keep getting attacked and put on the back foot by faiths that do prostelyse.
their you did it ...followed ideology of others by calling Sanatana Dharma a "religion"...Abrahmic influence is so deeply rooted in our mind it will take years to get rid of everything...The term Hindu is imposed, Hinduism is imposed , Indian is imposed ...these all are terms used by foreigners for us not native...Nationalist Greek prefer to call themselves Hellenes and not Greek ...We called them yavanas but they didn't accept it themselves but we happily accepted the term Indian ...We need to change this now ..We are not Indian we are Bharatvasi ...they can continue calling us Indians but atleast we can ourselves Bharatiye or Bharatvasi locally ...To replace Hindu , we also have a communal term "Arya" we should call ourselves Arya = People who follows Vedic Sanatan Dharma

If we have to educate "everyone", then THE best way to do is make the whole thing as school syllabus - in fact, make Sanskrit compulsory and study these scriptures IN ORIGINAL...
Wonderful session with Swamy in full flow , in his element, explaining Hinduism, the Sanatana Dharma umbrella and what are the key points we need to educate ourselves to ably do Poorva Paksha debates🙏🙏

TJD brought out more clearer version of vasudhaivakutumbajam& about forced sarvadharmasamabhav on only sanatanis! Foreign cults never accepted sarvadharmasamabhav concept !! What Dr swami said about there is need to educate our ppl about our scriptures is true 🙏
People who don’t believe in Sanatan mostly say about the caste system, but what most don’t realise is in our Sanatan there is no caste system ,it is the twisted political system and the arrogance of people in India which what they have now. If they have read the Vedic book’s throughly and understood our culture they would have realised this. They don’t want to change the system and people but they find the easy way out by blaming on Sanatan. It is very unfortunate fate of India. But it is changing ,people might blame on fanatics, aggressive behaviour and what not but I find that hindus are breaking their chain of slavery to be a true Hindu. Har Har Mahadev 🙏🏼💖🇸🇬
Sir. i agree with you. 🌹❤️ Every one born on earth is originally sanatani since rebirth theory confirm the perpetual cycle of human birth as per karma. The natural way of mother conception of child and birth are Sanatan Dharma which later is changed to different sects casts creed religious beliefs. Sanatan Dharma is mother of all religions and beliefs. Hariom 🌹❤️
Very nicely explained. But the problem for present day children to know about our culture etc we the seniors ourselves do not know much.Unless there are more people like Mr Rajuv Malhotra or Mr.Saideepak to counter the foolish arguments of people like Thirumavalavan we cannot shut their mouths.Theirs is all half baked knowledge and ours is partial knowledge to counter their arguments.
Once I met an educated African American in a library in USA, I told him Hindus do not tolerate other religions, he was shocked, then I told him Hindus respect other religions as tolerating means the other religions are a nuisance and others tolerate. Late Mahaperiyava of Kanchi said once "Excluding All those who are not baptized to other religions and those who specifically say they are not Hindus the rest are all Hindus"
I would say Vasudeva Kutumbakam means the Whole Universe or existence is one family, rather than very limiting world is family or all humans are family. It is much more encompassing including animals, plants, viruses. algae etc and may even include beings outside Earth. At least that was what my Grand Father used to tell me as he talked to me in detail about these things.
In my mind Vasudaiva Kutumbakam has a Identity erasing effect, that is one of the reason the Identity dependent Hindutva movement is trying to re-invent its meaning. I do not mean what Mr. Swamy is talking here, his is a more intellectual treatment at least till 14 mins 00 seconds(I have only heard till that time :-)) and perfectly impartial and fair.
Sanatana a Dharma is pleural, liberal, accepting of all thoughts and beliefs if it is not against Dharmic human values and essentials! There is no supremacy concepts and no conversion principles as that emanate from dogmatic religions! It is based on personal seeking of the almighty and not on personal belief from indoctrination! Drarmics only take to resistance when they are seriously threatened and fear of annihilation as it happened to many similar cultures in the world! Purpose of life is told as for learning, growing, protecting the mother planet, doing your life duties, reflecting on and worshiping the almighty!
The ideas in this video tells me why I like Swamy more than the Hindutva brigade like Modi or others. Swamy himself might be claiming to be a Hindutva follower, but if it so, then it seems he is deviating a lot from the general ideas held by Hindutvavadis. I like people like Swamy and Gadkari who in spite of claiming to be Hindutvavadis are very pragmatic and impressive in their own rights. I understand sometimes Swamy does behave odd due to ego issues, but he is 99% of the time factual and accurate. I hope such people like Swamy and Gadkari had access to power in BJP, unfortunately it is not the case.
@Sai KR You are so true. I think because the thinkers behind the BJP want to transform to Hindu Rashtra as soon as possible, development, peace, fairness and justice are collateral damage. I blame Modi for allowing Yati and Rizvi kind of people to talk non-sense, since the beginning. He kept quite to such talks, which slowly gave them more voice. If such poisonous talks and behavior is not put down NOW, then it might be a sad story in the future for the country. I know many would not agree but I also put Yogi Adityanath is the similar territory as the two mentioned here (maybe more restrained and contained, but with a mindset that supports such ideas) Demographics might be changing and steps might need to be taken, however it has to be done in a more measured, fair and in a long term perspective in mind. BJP can sponsor private Scientific Demographic statistical studies and make informed and justifiable and public decisions. BJP needs to be more cultured, pragmatic and focus on development of country in short and mid term (50-100 years) and focus on Hindu issues in short and long term ( > 100 years). I say both short and long because there are the free temple and other issues that needs to be worked out now, but Hindu demographics and solutions can be long term, no matter what, development of the country has to be foremost in their minds and unfortunately it is not uniformly in everybody's mind.
Religion is regional with boundries and sense to protect the same with sampradays. That sense is mysterious to the extent of destruction of jeeva parmatma union.
That's the right approach but this approach will one day perish if not protected like antibiotics protect body against deadly infections. Evil forces need to be killed from time to time.
According to Indian LAW, I am a brahmin if I am born to brahmin family and I am immediately accountable for all social injustice that has happened across all sects in India in history and as a result of this, I am stripped of 70% of quota to take part in education, govt job and soon to be in Corporate sectors and likely same will be applied in US too with recent bills that are being worked on.
Its make rigid by british and mugal raj because they want to divide and break india indigenous system. Problem is this our present constitution made by british and people at top are highly colonial. We need our vedic system back.
@@dravidian667 they oppressed more than what indian cast system do. Its not cast system its verna system which based on the work you do not a birth. But for west its all just cast and curry. They have to first look inside
Not failed swami , the British dragged the then generation from the roots and left them in the lurch so the then elders were only carried away by their sweetened lies that they believed them and followed them blindly.
Already there is a lot of debate about Hinduism and Hinduthva. I wish to add a new word to this debating namely HINDU DHARMA in contrast to the other words.
The debate is baseless ...All these term have root Hindu which is a persian word for people living near Sindhu river ...We need to reject the term itself ..A foreign term can never provide a proper meaning ...We already had a communal identity for ourselves which is "Arya" ...We all are Arya who all follow Vedic customs and rites ...We had sanskritti of following Dharma and this land is Aryavarta our motherland ...🙏🙏
So are Jagannath temple officials wrong (and also other temple office bearers) when they refuse foreigners (who say they are Hindus) entry into the temple. Some times, I get confused by these things.
@@112deeps so if there is no conversion, then there are no documents, then there is no proof and we are saying that is the core of our religion. Then we are saying, need proof to enter. Anyone who looks like an Indian can enter, but people who look foreign cannot enter. That means the temple authorities deviate from the Swamy's opinion a lot. One the other hand, it can be considered as a temple that belongs to a specific "Sampradaya". that is more dogmatic than the umbrella Sanatana Dharma and have their own rules that does not guarantee all Hindus entry, but only on basis of the color of their skin. That is fine I guess, just was confused a bit after applying Swamy's theory which did not fit, but I guess it need not fit, because since Sanatana is not dogmatic, folks at different places make up their own rules which they think is justified and admits majority of self declared Hindus but not all. People who are following Bhakti parampara might not understand this and even consider it unfair and against our religion, but maybe having rigid and dogmatic followers is part of wide variety of included people in our great Sanatana Dharma.
Someone whos hungry looks for food.so all these who are yearning for "sanatana" must en sure that they dontgo hungry instead of blaming someone whos prepared to feed.
All Hindus believe in sanathan darma in that only there are six sanpradayas Shiva Vishnu shakti Surya ganapathi skanda with different puja practices and agamas
My understanding of sanatanis are that those who follow sanatan dharma which leads to moksha. The mankind in the ancient time is asked to follow purusqhartha , that is "dharmarthakamamoksha" with a goal of achieving moksha (getting rid of lust/intense desire). What is moksha? Moha+kshya=mokshaya. The moment you over come Moha, you do not collect vasanas and become self realised in due course. Vasanas are the reason for rebirth. Once you are self realised ,you are the BRAHMAN . This what our ancient RISHIES realised in their meditation /tapas and prescribed to masses . The people who follow this sanatadharma are sanatanis. I am a bit disappointed when Dr.Swamy tried to define our ancient Santana drama which is a combined wisdom of our ancient rishies by comparing with abrahamic religions which are established by individuals recently in time scale. British in their 200 years of stay in our land, were able to erase this purushartha in Indian mind and today we are lost people. We are now interested only in Artha and Kama without realising that you do not enjoy them when they are not connected to Dhama. Otherwise how to explain the amount of corruption and suffering in the country.
Universal law every one knowinly or.... Unknowingly follow is natural... Natural laws are written in Minds. By the. Creater Himself. Those want to call it sanatana ok keep it up.. Let those groups have it don't violate it..,......., some other group without violating it have things to do all through their life.. They never hang on this natural. Law only.
I ALSO THINK.. Matha Pita Guru Deva...LIKE our Varnas are not Western Mediaeval PYRAMYD Structure.. But a Flat plane... More Like A Mathematical Equation.. Where all are to be Seen = Treated = Equal..!!! & SO.. Matru Devo,, Pithru Devo are not a Pyramidic Tower but a core Foundational philosophy..!!
Birgu saint did penance and got boon. But he want to give it back to the God. At that time narada muni came and gave the opinion that who is patience has the right to get it back the boons. He met brahma and shiva both got anger but vishnu been patience even after kicking in his chest by birugu saint. At that birugu realized his fault, and gave back his boon to vishnu. So there is democracy even for the god.
" ...we have failed to educate Hindus on what Hinduism is...". Like me, one may/can get dissillusioned about religion as a whole but I fail to understand this statement. How can a path followed for eons not be understood?? Misinterpreted maybe?
A lot is taken for granted, and much information and nuances as well meaning of words are kind of in our DNA, and many of words are given different meaning now. So understanding becomes skewed...and misunderstanding are the norm. Let LOL for example to the old school it meant lots of love... read texts with LOL and this old meaning... what do you get.
Dr Swami is wrong. Nasa Never officially acclaimed that Sanskrit is the only language that is fit for artificial intelligence. It was by one researcher Rick Briggs in 1985, who stated that one might consider Sanskrit because of its grammatical fairness may be good for artificial intelligence. Ever since NASA has not adopted any such model based on Sanskrit alone.
But a foreigner told me he learning sanskrit i ask him why he say for programming sanskrit is most suitable language for that, so with software engineering he also learning sanskrit to enhance his software skill. Doesn't matter NASA say or not NASA always biased towards india. You can see their tweet when indian ISRO launched 108 satellite. Instead of congratulate india they make fun of isro. Same today yoga and meditation taken from india but they try to separate it and called Cristian yoga and meditation where they are before 2000 their is no yoga and meditation. West are real fraud which become rich by looting and branding their own which actually not their.
@@dravidian667 you are wrong! Looting is the easier way to enrich oneself without hard work. Hard work & perseverance will surely help one in accumulating wealth.
42:30 😂 now there is I'm spiritual not religious. This is in USA school and maybe other countries. Key word for us to state is I am Hindu and Dharmic. People of Abraham religions need to state(spiritual not religious) this because of artificial separation and dogma.
Sir Swamy now they r chanting sanskrit mantras then why did they destroy the learning of Sanskrit , which now the Dravidian stock parties is against sanskrit.
Maya - I think is VEDANTA.. not advitha.. ADVITHA= Tiger is God & the Deer it hunted is also God.! OR Conscious Energy.. Vedanta is Maya where nothing actually existed.!!
first u have to explain/define what is caste If u don't know what it is, then religion(including atheist) itself is a caste claiming superiority just from the book
There is no need to make a totally new word as an alternative of Hindu i.e Sanatani ...We already had a communal identity or term which is "Arya" ...It represents our sanskritti in best way ...Sanatani will end up being a meaningless term ....We are Arya , This land is Aryavarta or Bharat ...our ancestors already gave us these great terms which actually have a meaning in our language Sanskrit ..
As Swamy sir said ..Our culture focussed mainly on morals and values ...and the term Arya does indicate that ...It literally means Noble ...and to avoid any confusion I am NOT talking about ethinic or racial identity like how indologists framed Aryan ...I am talking about a cultural or communal identity ...Anyone who follows Vedic Dharma aka Sanatana Dharma is Arya ...🙏🙏Please tell me If am making a wrong statement and correct me ...But if you agree with me my Bhratas ...please call yourselves Arya from now on and reject the imposed terms Hindu , Hinduism , India , Indian and so on
Regarding the geographical identity, Bharatvasi or Bharatiya are better terms than Hindavi , Hindu, Indian and so on ...Accepting foreign terms is mentality of a slave ...Break the chains and accept our ancient Identities...Connect back to the roots .
We are under the control of the god. According to our sin and goodness, we are going into many births. To stop our birth-cycle, we need to liberty(moksha) from birth and death. Om namashivay.
they're trying to build a "superset" of religion .. and ideas. you'll find Hindus claiming vedic ownership of vaccinations, mathematics, relativity theory, genetic engineering, nuclear fusion .. decentralized crypto tech etc etc ... Always a moving target. You get the idea? that's why no one can explain it. Most indians are very practical and rational people. you'll find these shenanigans from 2% of number# 1 caste.
It is incorrect to say that Sanatanis do not believe in conversion… It is a compulsion for Hindus since Sanatan Dharma is intrinsically linked to Caste passed on by birth generation after generation (contrary to what Swamy says)! If you are converting into Hinduism coming from a caste-less society… there is a problem in allotting you a Caste! This is where the entire conversion process falls flat on its head as the choice of Caste is not made available to the Convertee. Ghar-wapsi is different in that the original Caste of the re-convertee is captured in their surname. In this race of religious conversion… Sanatan dharma loses out quite sorely. So what is the next best thing to do?... Try to make a VIRTUE out of it!
The only Abrahamic religion that doesn't do conversion is Jewish religion. If you are born to jewish mother then you are jewish! Technically Buddhist religion is Sanatana Dharma. The three jewels of Buddhism are Dharma, Shanga, & Buddha (self-enlightened or Avatar)
Thumbnail is totally Funny & shows Swami to be Turncoat.. He always spoke of DNA & Decisive agreement of Hindu Ancestry from everyone in India & Now what does he mean... We dont convert.. No More DNA Wapsi.. ??? All just USUAL Politicians Pishposh..!!!
Swami says Hindu religion is democratic and Arjuna was asked to choose. What if Arjuna chooses a abrahamic religion and why subramanyam swami objects to it?? Only democracy to Arjuna and not for others??
@@ramjosyula8965 Correct Duryodhana was a christian he was not smart but had per capita income more than arjuna. Same smartness goes to rama who choose to build a boat instead of a bridge to cross a sea..
@@manojisaac Mr. Godwin, If that is the measure then Judas has the highest per capita income compared to other apostles. With the same immeasurable logic Sir. Isaac wants to dismantle all the bridges and replace them with boats which deems more efficient and effective.
@@manojisaac Thank you for the quick response, Manoj! Swamy does not object to conversion of or democracy to anybody - Arjuna or otherwise. Swamy is succinct and very clear on all these points: 1.Need for conversion 2. Caste and Varna 3. Democracy. Please listen to him carefully this time. It is difficult to hear, let alone listen, if one is unaware of the blinders that were put on. Though very difficult, it is possible and immensely useful to listen without bias. I too have to rewind many times to grasp what he was saying. If you have any trouble after listening to him, I will try to find the corresponding time stamps (or other Videos by Swamy) on these topics - but only if you are authentically interested in learning and not just to throw pot shots, which I presume you are not. I do understand the importance of catechisms as I have gone through them myself when I got baptized. Though Swamy, in your parlance, may be a "high cate" Hindu (whatever it means), he clearly defines that Varna is not determined by birth but by ones own Gunas and actions. Multiple religions are common, welcome and celebrated in Swamy's family - his wife is a Parsi (Zoroastrian) and his daughter (Suhasini Haidar, now a journalist from The Hindu) converted to Islam after marrying a Muslim.
Islam and Islamism (jihaad, violence, maro, kaato, jalado, udaado, thokdo, sharia, taqia, fatwa-e-alamgiri, koran hate verses et al) are different. Sanatani Indians are tired of Islamism, congress, secularism and communism. Sanatani support Islam, but not Islamism.

exactly
To make religious conversions, first ground work needs to be done, like Christian did to hindus through educational institutions and english language.
Once I met an educated African American in a library in USA, I told him Hindus do not tolerate other religions, he was shocked, then I told him Hindus respect other religions as tolerating means the other religions are a nuisance and others tolerate. Late Mahaperiyava of Kanchi said once "Excluding All those who are not baptized to other religions and those who specifically say they are not Hindus the rest are all Hindus"
His new dish of kitchadi of Sanadana can't be sold to Rationalists. Old wine in the new bottle. Varnashram system will kill everything in his Bhasyam.

Demographics might be changing and steps might need to be taken, however it has to be done in a more measured, fair and in a long term perspective in mind. BJP can sponsor private Scientific Demographic statistical studies and make informed and justifiable and public decisions.
BJP needs to be more cultured, pragmatic and focus on development of country in short and mid term (50-100 years) and focus on Hindu issues in short and long term ( > 100 years). I say both short and long because there are the free temple and other issues that needs to be worked out now, but Hindu demographics and solutions can be long term, no matter what, development of the country has to be foremost in their minds and unfortunately it is not uniformly in everybody's mind.
Hi Sree ji
So from these words we understand that a hindu supports democracy ,
Religion is regional with boundries and sense to protect the same with sampradays.
That sense is mysterious to the extent of destruction of jeeva parmatma union.
That's the right approach but this approach will one day perish if not protected like antibiotics protect body against deadly infections. Evil forces need to be killed from time to time.
According to Indian LAW, I am a brahmin if I am born to brahmin family and I am immediately accountable for all social injustice that has happened across all sects in India in history and as a result of this, I am stripped of 70% of quota to take part in education, govt job and soon to be in Corporate sectors and likely same will be applied in US too with recent bills that are being worked on.
Its make rigid by british and mugal raj because they want to divide and break india indigenous system. Problem is this our present constitution made by british and people at top are highly colonial. We need our vedic system back.
Cristian country oppressed black community is they give reservation to them like india give not.
@@dravidian667 but in india their is not separate University and not needed because except few cast no body able to tell which verna a person belongs.
@@dravidian667 also black church. I listen a american scandal where i listen how white people in name of bad blood try to kill black community.
@@dravidian667 they oppressed more than what indian cast system do. Its not cast system its verna system which based on the work you do not a birth. But for west its all just cast and curry. They have to first look inside
Not failed swami , the British dragged the then generation from the roots and left them in the lurch so the then elders were only carried away by their sweetened lies that they believed them and followed them blindly.
Swamy sir who will win UP election
Already there is a lot of debate about Hinduism and Hinduthva. I wish to add a new word to this debating namely HINDU DHARMA in contrast to the other words.
The debate is baseless ...All these term have root Hindu which is a persian word for people living near Sindhu river ...We need to reject the term itself ..A foreign term can never provide a proper meaning ...We already had a communal identity for ourselves which is "Arya" ...We all are Arya who all follow Vedic customs and rites ...We had sanskritti of following Dharma and this land is Aryavarta our motherland ...🙏🙏
Then why Hari Raya and Bukka Raya were done Ghar wapsi by Vidyaranya Swami?
👍
So Bannje Govindacharya was Sampadayavaadi.
So are Jagannath temple officials wrong (and also other temple office bearers) when they refuse foreigners (who say they are Hindus) entry into the temple. Some times, I get confused by these things.
Depends, if genuine hindu then yes..... But anyone can claim to be Hindu how do you prove you are hindu?
@@112deeps so if there is no conversion, then there are no documents, then there is no proof and we are saying that is the core of our religion. Then we are saying, need proof to enter. Anyone who looks like an Indian can enter, but people who look foreign cannot enter.
That means the temple authorities deviate from the Swamy's opinion a lot.
One the other hand, it can be considered as a temple that belongs to a specific "Sampradaya". that is more dogmatic than the umbrella Sanatana Dharma and have their own rules that does not guarantee all Hindus entry, but only on basis of the color of their skin.
That is fine I guess, just was confused a bit after applying Swamy's theory which did not fit, but I guess it need not fit, because since Sanatana is not dogmatic, folks at different places make up their own rules which they think is justified and admits majority of self declared Hindus but not all.
People who are following Bhakti parampara might not understand this and even consider it unfair and against our religion, but maybe having rigid and dogmatic followers is part of wide variety of included people in our great Sanatana Dharma.
Someone whos hungry looks for food.so all these who are yearning for "sanatana" must en sure that they dontgo hungry instead of blaming someone whos prepared to feed.
All Hindus believe in sanathan darma in that only there are six sanpradayas Shiva Vishnu shakti Surya ganapathi skanda with different puja practices and agamas
My understanding of sanatanis are that those who follow sanatan dharma which leads to moksha. The mankind in the ancient time is asked to follow purusqhartha , that is "dharmarthakamamoksha" with a goal of achieving moksha (getting rid of lust/intense desire). What is moksha? Moha+kshya=mokshaya. The moment you over come Moha, you do not collect vasanas and become self realised in due course. Vasanas are the reason for rebirth. Once you are self realised ,you are the BRAHMAN . This what our ancient RISHIES realised in their meditation /tapas and prescribed to masses . The people who follow this sanatadharma are sanatanis. I am a bit disappointed when Dr.Swamy tried to define our ancient Santana drama which is a combined wisdom of our ancient rishies by comparing with abrahamic religions which are established by individuals recently in time scale. British in their 200 years of stay in our land, were able to erase this purushartha in Indian mind and today we are lost people. We are now interested only in Artha and Kama without realising that you do not enjoy them when they are not
connected to Dhama. Otherwise how to explain the amount of corruption and suffering in the country.
Universal law every one knowinly or.... Unknowingly follow is natural... Natural laws are written in
Minds. By the. Creater
Himself. Those want to call it sanatana ok keep it up.. Let those groups have it don't violate it..,......., some other group without violating it have things to do all through their life.. They never hang on this natural. Law only.
I ALSO THINK.. Matha Pita Guru Deva...LIKE our Varnas are not Western Mediaeval PYRAMYD Structure.. But a Flat plane...
More Like A Mathematical Equation.. Where all are to be Seen = Treated = Equal..!!! & SO.. Matru Devo,, Pithru Devo are not a Pyramidic Tower but a core Foundational philosophy..!!
Birgu saint did penance and got boon. But he want to give it back to the God. At that time narada muni came and gave the opinion that who is patience has the right to get it back the boons. He met brahma and shiva both got anger but vishnu been patience even after kicking in his chest by birugu saint. At that birugu realized his fault, and gave back his boon to vishnu. So there is democracy even for the god.
Not believing in conversion is a real draw back and also a curse .Change according to times start propagating Hinduism aggressively .
" ...we have failed to educate Hindus on what Hinduism is...".
Like me, one may/can get dissillusioned about religion as a whole but I fail to understand this statement. How can a path followed for eons not be understood?? Misinterpreted maybe?
A lot is taken for granted, and much information and nuances as well meaning of words are kind of in our DNA, and many of words are given different meaning now. So understanding becomes skewed...and misunderstanding are the norm. Let LOL for example to the old school it meant lots of love... read texts with LOL and this old meaning... what do you get.
Dr Swami is wrong. Nasa Never officially acclaimed that Sanskrit is the only language that is fit for artificial intelligence. It was by one researcher Rick Briggs in 1985, who stated that one might consider Sanskrit because of its grammatical fairness may be good for artificial intelligence. Ever since NASA has not adopted any such model based on Sanskrit alone.
But a foreigner told me he learning sanskrit i ask him why he say for programming sanskrit is most suitable language for that, so with software engineering he also learning sanskrit to enhance his software skill. Doesn't matter NASA say or not NASA always biased towards india. You can see their tweet when indian ISRO launched 108 satellite. Instead of congratulate india they make fun of isro. Same today yoga and meditation taken from india but they try to separate it and called Cristian yoga and meditation where they are before 2000 their is no yoga and meditation. West are real fraud which become rich by looting and branding their own which actually not their.
@@dravidian667 you are wrong! Looting is the easier way to enrich oneself without hard work. Hard work & perseverance will surely help one in accumulating wealth.
42:30 😂 now there is I'm spiritual not religious. This is in USA school and maybe other countries. Key word for us to state is I am Hindu and Dharmic.
People of Abraham religions need to state(spiritual not religious) this because of artificial separation and dogma.
Sir Swamy now they r chanting sanskrit mantras then why did they destroy the learning of Sanskrit , which now the Dravidian stock parties is against sanskrit.
Maya - I think is VEDANTA.. not advitha.. ADVITHA= Tiger is God & the Deer it hunted is also God.! OR Conscious Energy.. Vedanta is Maya where nothing actually existed.!!
Very sad Modi did not include him in his cabinet. Modi's ego has made India lose the services of this brilliant pro Hindu professional and politician.
A hindu converts himself to a sanatani ..and then is against conversions ..Ironical
But your friend in Andhra is precipitating conversions
Cont put hindu converted into particular caste. If there was no caste system, hindus would have converted, like others.
Megalomaniac Subramanian Swamy ...
Is there casteism in Santandarma.
first u have to explain/define what is caste
If u don't know what it is, then religion(including atheist) itself is a caste claiming superiority just from the book
Hindu darma is based on Tharka and Thapas that is think over and over and come to a decision purely democratic
There is no need to make a totally new word as an alternative of Hindu i.e Sanatani ...We already had a communal identity or term which is "Arya" ...It represents our sanskritti in best way ...Sanatani will end up being a meaningless term ....We are Arya , This land is Aryavarta or Bharat ...our ancestors already gave us these great terms which actually have a meaning in our language Sanskrit ..
As Swamy sir said ..Our culture focussed mainly on morals and values ...and the term Arya does indicate that ...It literally means Noble ...and to avoid any confusion I am NOT talking about ethinic or racial identity like how indologists framed Aryan ...I am talking about a cultural or communal identity ...Anyone who follows Vedic Dharma aka Sanatana Dharma is Arya ...🙏🙏Please tell me If am making a wrong statement and correct me ...But if you agree with me my Bhratas ...please call yourselves Arya from now on and reject the imposed terms Hindu , Hinduism , India , Indian and so on
Regarding the geographical identity, Bharatvasi or Bharatiya are better terms than Hindavi , Hindu, Indian and so on ...Accepting foreign terms is mentality of a slave ...Break the chains and accept our ancient Identities...Connect back to the roots .
SANATHAN DHARMA, yeah - my foot. Call it UPPER CASTE THUGGERY by another name.
What's the benefit of having a religion which no one can explain 🤦♂️
We are under the control of the god. According to our sin and goodness, we are going into many births. To stop our birth-cycle, we need to liberty(moksha) from birth and death. Om namashivay.
they're trying to build a "superset" of religion .. and ideas. you'll find Hindus claiming vedic ownership of vaccinations, mathematics, relativity theory, genetic engineering, nuclear fusion .. decentralized crypto tech etc etc ... Always a moving target. You get the idea? that's why no one can explain it.
Most indians are very practical and rational people. you'll find these shenanigans from 2% of number# 1 caste.

🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌺🌺🌺🌺👍👏🇮🇳
Sanathan dharma can be culture / pattern of values
Religion is Concept of God / peace of mind.
It is incorrect to say that Sanatanis do not believe in conversion…
It is a compulsion for Hindus since Sanatan Dharma is intrinsically linked to Caste passed on by birth generation after generation (contrary to what Swamy says)!
If you are converting into Hinduism coming from a caste-less society… there is a problem in allotting you a Caste!
This is where the entire conversion process falls flat on its head as the choice of Caste is not made available to the Convertee.
Ghar-wapsi is different in that the original Caste of the re-convertee is captured in their surname.
In this race of religious conversion… Sanatan dharma loses out quite sorely.
So what is the next best thing to do?... Try to make a VIRTUE out of it!
I guess i had no knowledge of Hinduism , thank ram Modi will opened hindu colleges
Oh yes you believein conversion. Then why the hare krishna movement
The only Abrahamic religion that doesn't do conversion is Jewish religion. If you are born to jewish mother then you are jewish!
Technically Buddhist religion is Sanatana Dharma. The three jewels of Buddhism are Dharma, Shanga, & Buddha (self-enlightened or Avatar)
Thumbnail is totally Funny & shows Swami to be Turncoat.. He always spoke of DNA & Decisive agreement of Hindu Ancestry from everyone in India &
Now what does he mean... We dont convert.. No More DNA Wapsi.. ??? All just USUAL Politicians Pishposh..!!!
Swami says Hindu religion is democratic and Arjuna was asked to choose. What if Arjuna chooses a abrahamic religion and why subramanyam swami objects to it?? Only democracy to Arjuna and not for others??
Since Arjuna was smart he chose wisely. Isaac and Dhuryodhana on the other hand....
@@ramjosyula8965 Correct Duryodhana was a christian he was not smart but had per capita income more than arjuna. Same smartness goes to rama who choose to build a boat instead of a bridge to cross a sea..
@@manojisaac Mr. Godwin, If that is the measure then Judas has the highest per capita income compared to other apostles. With the same immeasurable logic Sir. Isaac wants to dismantle all the bridges and replace them with boats which deems more efficient and effective.
you skillfully avoided my question.. Why swami objects to conversion of low caste hindus because only for arjuna there is democracy??
@@manojisaac Thank you for the quick response, Manoj! Swamy does not object to conversion of or democracy to anybody - Arjuna or otherwise. Swamy is succinct and very clear on all these points: 1.Need for conversion 2. Caste and Varna 3. Democracy. Please listen to him carefully this time. It is difficult to hear, let alone listen, if one is unaware of the blinders that were put on. Though very difficult, it is possible and immensely useful to listen without bias. I too have to rewind many times to grasp what he was saying. If you have any trouble after listening to him, I will try to find the corresponding time stamps (or other Videos by Swamy) on these topics - but only if you are authentically interested in learning and not just to throw pot shots, which I presume you are not. I do understand the importance of catechisms as I have gone through them myself when I got baptized. Though Swamy, in your parlance, may be a "high cate" Hindu (whatever it means), he clearly defines that Varna is not determined by birth but by ones own Gunas and actions. Multiple religions are common, welcome and celebrated in Swamy's family - his wife is a Parsi (Zoroastrian) and his daughter (Suhasini Haidar, now a journalist from The Hindu) converted to Islam after marrying a Muslim.
Islam and Islamism (jihaad, violence, maro, kaato, jalado, udaado, thokdo, sharia, taqia, fatwa-e-alamgiri, koran hate verses et al) are different. Sanatani Indians are tired of Islamism, congress, secularism and communism. Sanatani support Islam, but not Islamism.
