You have presented the core ideas in Hinduism in the most easily understandable manner for laymen. Good job.
This channel is so underrated.
Love from Bangladesh. 🇧🇩
You deserve a million brother.
Can I know where you from?
Yes bro plz🙏🙏🙏
UK! I think due to his speaking type!
Is Bangladesh safe place for Hindus?
@@chandakumari952 Definitely safer than countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc..
@@chandakumari952 yes Bangladesh is not like Pakistan
I'm 100% Christian but this channel contains a lot of good. SUPERB, SUPERB, SUPERB. What Hindus call the atman we call the soul. A spec of light of the Devine in EVERY human being.
As a Christian, what's your thoughts on the differences, like where Krishna says the "wise lament for neither the living nor the dead (Bhagavad Gita 2:11)," and Yeshua says "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted (The New Testament, Matthew 5:4)?"
there are so many parallels between christianity and hinduism, and the bible and hindu spiritual texts!! all different paths lead to the same end :) ram ram, friend
Krsna is always right.
You are making serious efforts and i am suggesting many people your channel , you deserve appreciation...🙏
I wish I could share this video with the rest of the world and give them a magic pill to understand what is being said. Unfortunately spiritual awakening is an individual process.what an amazing video thank you 🙏🏾
Many big mahalos for this truly impeccable video and it's timeless message of spiritual sobriety and correct dharma compliant boddhi. Namaste and aloha🕉️💙🙏

Great video. A few points I'd like to discuss if anyone wants to share their thoughts. I agree that in pursuing justice we must never become perpetrators ourselves, but I also think those in the social justice world represent a loud minority with a lot of influence. (I'm going to go on a whim and suggest that you are referring to the looting and rioting of the BLM protests. I think there is a bit more nuance in this situation than sheer rage coming from unjustified anger, but I hear your essential point I think.) I understand your point about not blaming the son for the fathers' sins, but then how must we address either a) current injustices still being perpetrated or b) those who deny that injustices were committed, therefore not taking the opportunity to learn from them?
Eg. The abolition of slavery was seen as radical and destructive of progress and selfish at the time. I like your point about not judging people who naively accept the norms of the time - this makes sense. But how do we know that we are not naively accepting the norms of our time?
Ultimately, I reach the same conclusion as you that the atman is the one truth that unites us all. Yet despite this eternal truth, I still believe Hinduism prioritizes seva and ahimsa and karma-yoga as much as self-reflection and internal realization. "Personal responsibility" comes across to me as a very conservative argument - and a very good one - but the idea that we must master ourselves before seeking to change the world is incomplete in my opinion. Virtually all teachers become masters in the practice of teaching. All the great leaders of our shastra became masters of their spiritual self, not before they became leaders, but as they were leading. Spiritual progress comes through practice I think, not just preparation.
I sometimes worry that "spiritual bypassing" can render us selfish or condescending, when it may be in our natures to engage with the issues of kali-yuga according to our varnas. Social activism, when combined with internal self-reflection and seeking higher knowledge, can be part of advancing spiritually. (There are many examples of these imperfect but influential people in history - Mandela, Gandhi, etc.)
I would like to hear your thoughts on collective responsibility according to dharmic traditions. Where I'm at right now is that while we must always be responsible for ourselves, we must also care for and serve others. If we would rather prioritize individual responsibility, fine. We don't need to expect to reap the benefits of others' goodwill. But, part of individual responsibility is cultivating selflessness and service in a way that suits our varna. I believe part of our dharma is to help create an environment whereby others can pursue their dharmas as well, free from the restrictions imposed on them by material designations. I would love to hear what others think.
Most western social justice is COMUNIST in disguise and comnunism is the enemy of religion.
I believe that personal responsibility is important, but we cannot just stay with that, since worrying only about ourselves and ignoring the problems that surround us would be to be selfish.
People who choose to ignore the suffering of others (by preferring to focus on themselves, or by the law of karma) are not correct. It can never be a bad thing to help others. We should not act out of selfishness, but considering others as superior to ourselves, and act accordingly, not expecting to get something in return, but only because it is the right thing to do.
This was very wise, thoughtful, insightful. That's so rare to find, thank you!
You should upload your videos regularly at least one in a week.
Let him take his time.
Yes his videos are divine
Once a week would be great
Sure, weekly would be good in a way, but then he'd run out of content sooner, and have less time to assure a quality video, which could increase stress.
Thank you☺️♥️
I get goosebumps watching your videos papa
Great vid brother. Keep up the good work!
You just told the truth
One can be a rasist opposing racism
It holds for everything that we oppose
Nice presentation
Perfect!👏👏👏👏
Sir, Whoever you are. You are doing a great help for us. ❤🙏 you are only one in this world who make good videos and support Hindus.
Real need of the hour video 🙏🙏🙏🪔🪔🪔👍👍👍🪔🪔🪔🙏🙏🙏
the way you explain is awesome.
Great video!. It would be interesting to see a video on the Hindu perspective on psychedelics like DMT, hope you make it some day.
it’s not helpful for spiritual advancement
Mantra meditation is enough
@@prajalpi Meditation and yoga are very useful for cultivating awareness; but psychedelics like DMT, Psilocybin, Mescaline, etc can vastly expand consciousness and provide universal and personal insights in a short amount of time which would take many years to do if only doing meditation/yoga. Speaking from my own experience psychedelics have helped me a lot
Great video.. :) Many thanks!

#hindutvaRevival
oh yay another upload
Thank you for addressing this , things are not what they seem , those groups are more full with hate and anger than there counter part , dharma is also supposed to Maintain order , these groups completely negate that police officers (worrier class) have no feelings , no families the accusations they say almost dehumanizes the police , killing is wrong , but using anger and hate to justify dehumanizing an entire police force and wanting to kill police officers . that has no real basis , we need to move forward than to keep holding on to the past , great video by dharma speaks .
Excellent!🙏🏼
Beautiful
Keep it up sirji 🙏❤️
🙏🏽🕉️
What a wholesome amazing video dude.
Hare Krsna
One word.
YES.
🙏🙏🙏
If I can’t cite my ancestors’ good deeds to vindicate my own crimes then how can I be held responsible for their sins?
You are enjoying you ancestors wealth and legacy , how come you expect to get only one side of a coin.
Just like you inherited genes, physical fratures from your ancestors you inherited their tendencies .
But if you are not identified with anything , thn nothing will effect you
धर्मो ज्ञेयः सदाचारः श्रुतिस्मृत्युप्रतिपिदितः ।
Dharma is good actions put forward by Shruti and Smruti.
माहात्म्यज्ञानयुग्भूरिस्नेहो भक्तिश्र्च माधवे ।।
Bhakti is devotion of Shree Krishna with love and knowing the importance of him.
Bro , I had one doubt. If we follow sanatana dharma whether we will go to heaven or hell. Other religion question.
Make a video on homosexuality and Hinduism.
Check out @mind_splash.co on insta
I have an article or post on that
Hello, great content please make some videos on how Christans mock our culture and call krishna a devil and they say accept only Jesus or you gonna burn in hell.. Please 🙏do something on this topic
Jesus is Krishna's son lol
Groups of people will always mock each other.
@@julie5978 have you seen a hindu saying Jesus is fake
@@greensnake7483 they deny the veracity of the Bible and claim that Jesus is a reincarnation of Hindu God. SadhGuru makes fun of Christians and Muslims, and says that they are full of shit.
@@julie5978 sadguru never did.. What is a hindu God and Christian God?.. God is one and same.. Krishna said I manifest into the form when ever there is a decline in dharma(righteous).. So basically Jesus, Krishna, buddha are same.. But you guys mock us saying Krishna is a devil and a flase god
The problem isn't the lack of spirituality amongst the people. The problem is false teachers taking them away from finding the Divine on their journey through this life.
6:40 you made the point on people reflecting on how cruel we were to the animals for using them to satiate our pallete. However the problem is the scale to which this is happening, where people's entire livelihoods are based on industrialised killing of these animals. This systemic destruction of the lives of these animals and dehumanised people in a country is the reason why people call for change. Compassion based on personal responsibility alone is lame and powerless.
you explain things very well, how do you come to know about Hinduism for the first time.
@dharmaspeaks Hinduism allows atheism, can you plz explain how?
Bro, who is supreme god in Hinduism?? Tell me in the next video bro...plzzzz🙏🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Krishna
@@yaamir7201 how bro??
Bro it is about who you personally love shakti shiva Krishna these are all personalities of god.
@@resonatebob4495 HARE KRÎSHÑÂ 🙏🏻🕉️😌😇
@@yaamir7201 Hari Hari😇😌😌😇
One suggestion please use thumbnails gentle one...your video don't represent thumbnail in many videos
Wait, so gay people are not adharmic???
Nope. That depends on the religion you choose to look at... In Hinduism it's not "adharmic"
@@akshitverma2004 So are you telling me that hinduism is the single world religion that doesnt consider gay unions to be unethical and wrong?
HunIvan depends which Hindu your talking to , some will not care , while some say it’s not dharmic because it’s a pure attachment and pure bad karma nor is it trying to live balance with nature , but the individual still deserves compassion
@@hunivan7672 actually this channel has a lot of videos on the topic.... You can check them out..... Different historians have different opinions.... But in the veda's it's not adharmic
@@AR-gu2no But how can it ever be okay to have sex with someone of the same sex? I know this is not a valid argument but literally all religions say that it's wrong. Why is hinduism the exception?
It is good to consider how Dharma can be used to correct the problems of our society.
But... your take on history and the social justice issues in America now are short-sighted.
It has far more to do with the concentration of capital in the hands of greedy people.
They corporations are ruining this planet to the point that it will no longer be fruitful and the people are being ground down to worldwide poverty.
Your arguments sound more like an apologist for the Kauravas saying how they have been good kings and that we should learn to work out our problems with them. Krishna tried this many times and each time they rejected the offers of the Great Counselor.
The corporations are completely Adharmic, they will not even give the amount of earth that will fit on the point of a pin.
It is time to choose a side Arjuna and do not make your false arguments as you instructed in the video.
Violence is Adharma, but Violence in defense of Dharma is Dharma and the people are crying out for justice now.
He said that on his previous video
I don't think you have studied Social Justice enough or you learned from a right winger or "enlightened centrist". Firstly Social Justice understands that there are many things that cause people problems Intersectionality is about this idea that people can have many causes that are inter related with each other that effect their lives, so Social Justice isn't an simple answer to a complex question. Another issues is is seen as an over reaction or simple is the call to Defund the Police. Defund the police does not simple mean take money from the police it means to reallocate funds from police departments to give to other groups to handle situations that police aren't necessary for such as mental health check up and drop overdoses. I also find it really odd that you compare the motivations of people who want to bring about social equality for the most people possible to the Nazis whose stated goal was to kill or enslave every non Aryan( Non Germanic) person. This isn't to say there aren't bad people who use the language of social justice to do and say bad things but by and large social justice is a good movement with good goals.
You are clueless, especially about national socialist Germany. Sanatana Dharma is founded upon basic principles of order and natural laws. Everything you stand for is against this, you are for unorganised Marxist chaos. “Social justice” is mainly perverted by people who do not know morality but will parrot the same nonsense thrown out from “academia” failing to ever achieve anything but unnatural nonsense. You know nothing, and have clearly never read the Gita.
@@Tarnie495 Firstly you don't know me or anything about me. I spent over a year living in a Krishna Temple. I have read the Gita many times. Secondly I am sure I know more about Nazi Germany than you. Lastly I don't think you know anything about social justice I would recommend you educate yourself on a subject before speaking on it.
@@giren0079 I think you read the iskcon Bhagavad-Gita. Am I correct?
@@theblackone_ Yes I have primarily read the ISKCON Gita but I have read a few other translations although not as often or thoroughly.
@@giren0079 ISKCON gita is quite inaccurately translated. At some points it almost seems abrahamic in nature. It's quite anti-atheistic & misogynistic. But the actual Bhagavad-Gita doesn't demonize atheists & women, infact it doesn't demonize anyone. So it's better you refer to the Gita-press Gorakhpur version. There is an English copy on Amazon.
Lucid as usual!
But this attitude is not rash, this is through the lens of analytic study that common ills of our world are of that from the bourgeoisie class, through theory and time again once we look to the historical struggle of the proletariat Its Ironic you mention you the gita as Arjuna wanted to avoid conflict, to avoid that war of massive change but you are doing that! For the cause of the proletariat is not only a righteous cause, but that in which is our duty to follow and carry out.
You yourself have mentioned elements of our capitalist world, that, our insane demands of product makes ethical vegetarian farms nearly impossible. It is because of the demand of capital that those things are forced that way. Even within the caste system (the way it was supposed to go) the Brahmans had a duty for taking care of the lower casts but in this, our current state is not the case, instead we have cults of the bourgeoisie upper class, murder by their hands and all sorts of unspeakable crimes, but you then go on to doubt this struggle of the proletariat class? I really see how bias this channel is add that to the irony of using the Gita while ignoring virtuous goals.
I have always advocated the idea that people with power should protect and care for those below them, not go above them. But today's society seems to have completely forgotten this.
