Adi Shankara was the greatest philosopher of his time. He debated the Buddhists and defeated them ideologically. One of the reasons why Buddhism declined in India.
Buddhism was temporary answer to that situation where Dharmaglani was all pervasive. Jagadguru Sri Shankaracharya re-established the way of life of Indians by his intelectual prowess. Buddha by establishing Damma stalled the deterioration of Dharma. Shankaracharya re-established dharma by guiding the mankind rescuing them from futher downfall. That is why Buddha is recognised as one of the Avatar of lord Vishnu in Dashavatar.
_Adi Shankaracharya_ was not a *"philosopher".* A drunkard can come up with a seemingly beautiful philosophy as to why he drinks. His work didn't sprout from intellectual musings but through deep perception of reality. There is an existential basis to the works of his. He was an intellectual powerhouse born out of enlightenment.
Buddhism has been changed and lost what Gautam Buddha's actual knowledge gave to disciples. I found one north-east Indian reading Chinese buddhism and at that movement I was laughing at how people changed Gautam Buddha actual teaching and distorted and made it own.
My eyes became teary, I heard about this debate from my sanskrit teacher when I was in 8th standard, and I recite Shivastava stotram every day which was composed by Adi Shankaracharya, it's really good stotram and when I Chant it I literally feel the presence of God 🙏 thanks soo much Zuzana
I accept that at one time Buddhism had a greater influence in India but as a hindu that doesn't mean i don't like buddha i agree or disagree with him with some issues.sanatan dharama is a very flexible or Libral religion during ancient times so debates about scriptures or upanishads are so normal and appreciated.we have to change according to the time and conditions.
Shankaracharya is considered one of the most influential philosophers in Hinduism. He was responsible for defining and systematising religion in its current form. He also contributed to the development of Advaita Vedanta, a school of Hindu philosophy that emphasises non-duality and the unity of all reality. Adi shankaracharya established the sharda peeth. Sharda Peeth, Sharda Regarded as one of the top most centers of learning and knowledge in ancient times, Sharda Peeth that lies in the LOC territory between Pakistan and India, remains a deserted site since the partition in 1947. Indians aren’t allowed to enter the premises since the area is controlled by our neighbouring country. Situated about 150kms from Muzzafarabad in Pakistan and around 130kms from Srinagar in India, this Hindu temple is one of the three important pilgrimage points for Kashmiri Pandits, the other two being Martand Sun Temple and Amarnath Temple. There is no shrine at this site, but only rock pillars that have seemed to survive over time; though it is said that there was once a Shivling in the compound. The legend says that when Shiva was carrying his dead wife Sati Devi’s body across Aryrvartha (abode of aryas), parts of her body fell, creating ‘shaktis peethas’ or divine spots everywhere. It is said that her right hand fell in the village of Sharda in Azad Kashmir and became one of the 18 Maha Shakti Peeths for the pundits. Then again, there are tons of other stories that will make us deep dive into the realms of Hindu mythology. The word Sharda in Kashmiri means Sarwasti, who is the Goddess of Knowledge. This 5000 years old temple also stands where the famous Sharada University was built, which is now completely ruined. Thousands of scholars taught here, and it is believed that it had one of the biggest libraries to ever exist.
This debate is true , and is very famous , the debate between shankaracharya and mandan mishra. Mahismati { Ancient city which is also known as Tripuri and modern name is Jabalpur} . I cannot say the environment that he made is exactly same as that he says like those courtyards and all that but yes Debates are very true and It comes from our Ancient Culture ( Those who study Social science Subjects in India knows that and It comes Under Ancient History of India and Ancient philosophy of India ) ..
This is so different how differences are settled in other parts of the world where sword and violence settles whose philosophy or religion is correct ! Only in ancient India difference of beliefs are settled through intellectual debate.
No not at all, his debate was with and between different philosophy which is called darshana present in different sect of sanatan dharma(hinduism) - including buddhism, jainism (basically every sect/culture rooted in India). Others(Islam, christianity) don't even quality for such consciously high intellectual debate
Shankaracharya accepted her to be judge even though she is the wife of opponent but he did not suspected her to be doing some partiality. This what the confidence of Shankaracharya the great guru of guru. Har har msahadev
She was much elder to him as well. She was the age of his mother. So, it was OK to have her as the judge. Also knowledge wise, she was an allrounder too.
This is a real story.. Madhana Mishra losses the debate and becomes disciple of Shankaracharya.. and eventually becomes the first Pitadipati (Chairman) of Sringeri Shankar Matta (monastery)
Am a sanatani and stood by him for these believes. Over a period of time , situation has changed yet his teaching proves and make sense. We all should adore and dive deep to understand understand his teachings, do some more videos
I heard this story my childhood... I'm 47 now... In India the place sringeri is famous.. I generally want to understand the perspective from a foreign land due to the cultural differences... Any ways things look simple when you hear these but practice in life is little too tough.... kaliyuga god's names chant is the only saviour that is what Sankara the monk in the video told Baja Govindam...
Here the main point of the debate is " importance of women in Ancient Indian society " . Women was given position of judge between 2 scholars and also was allowed to intervene and debate... she was so intellectual that even great scholar like Adi Shankaracharya had to think deeper to respond, it shows woman education and empowerment even if she was a Home maker. This is our culture and history, would like to add that women at various occasions faught battles and won from Ancient times of Ramayana to mefival - modern era ....Queen Kaikai ( Lord Ram's step mother....to Queen Velu Nachiyar in 1770s defeated British with only woman Army...Queen Chennama in 1800s and Queen Laxmibai again in1850s....
I really like @zuzanareacts process of writing while listening to these videos. A great way to improve knowledge and wisdom. I have read this story and revisiting this through your video was great.
Haven't watched the Video yet but now you jumped straight to the Peak of the Himalaya. Jagadguru Adi Shankarachrya, the World Teacher. I'm currently watching a Lecture Series about one of his Texts, highly enlightening Stuff, so sublime like nothing else. Wonderful Zusana you jumped straight to the indian Plato..
I think everything is relative :) The claim can be made once you understood all religions deeply and properly studied them but then again - it's not about superiority as we are back to ego then although I hear what you are trying to say. I think it's for everyone to find their way - we are all divine - judging others is ultimately judging oneself.
Indian subcontinent have been earliest ground of philosphical debates called Shashtrath , check out Yajnavalkiya and Gargi dialogue ( vrihadriyanka upanishad -1000 bc ) oldest Upanishad .
Hindus don’t blindly follow an ideology- we question, we debate until we are satisfied with the answer/outcome … even when lord Vishnu came down as Krishna - Arjuna had 1000’s of questions for him … Arjuna didn’t just blindly follow the orders of Krishna !! Even, Lord Shiva was questioned and debated by mata Parvati (Lord shiva’s female consort/wife) when Shiva gave “Yoga sastra’s” … !! 🙏🙏
Hinduisn grows from debates, there are no god's directives, we question every directives. But these debates are to increase knowledge, more like brain storming to extract finer details.
Shankaracharya's position in the debate is incredibly simplified, it's actually very logical and deeper. Obviously, this gentleman didn't want to make this an academic video, so I'm not blaming. Swami Sarvapriyananda has great videos on Vedanta, he is a practicing monk. I'd highly recommend watch/reacting to "Who Am I" lecture of him, you will love it as he dives deep into the philosophy itself to explain in simplified language with examples.
Zuzana I recommend you study a documentary called saheb who never left india . It will give you glimpse of what constitutes a common indian views towards it's own culture and history . It is just the tip of iceberg but great way to get jist of Indian subcontinent and it's relations to it's current geopolitics
He was one of the greatest saints of kaliyuga with all the super natural powers which one can think of.Origin of universe- Bhraman>god the almighty(lord vishnu0>mother nature or sakthi(simultaneous origination )- they work complimentary to keep the creation going and she is the source of all energy in this universe-so duality exists fm there but Sankara didnt accept duality and argued for akathva or oneness of the bhraman only.My former guru says due to this ego problem he couldnt go further higher up. .1.once while travelling astrally with saint Narada -when they were over guruvayur(lord vishnu the presiding deity)narada descended to pay his respects but sankara declined saying he didnt believe in deities but the bhraman only- fell right down in front of the idol helpless and no energy.He praised the lord composing a beautiful poem called bhugangaprayathm .He was directed to proceed and put the temple administration and give directions for the yearly festivals ,and all the other objectives related to it and hence was forgiven, 2.In his determination to prove duality wrong he went for a debate with the devotees of sakthi(at Mookambi temple in karanataka) .The bhramin priests and devotees prayed to her as they stood no chance against him .At night she descended into his room and he found he was without any energy to even get up.She said -leave tomorrow by sunrise and no arguements with my devotees.and he complied. 3.Once roaming in the Himalayas he met a wild hunter fm the lowest of castes and asked him to give him right of way and not come in his path.The hunter(siva himself sankara was only an incarnation of siva)lectured him and sankara lost out in the debate that followed and siva adivised him that with his caste mentality he cant go much far in spirituality.
21:26 Aham Brahmashmi means i am the universe (like taking a Universal identity), Not I am divine Many things gets lost and misinterpreted in translation ( of language or understanding )
Actually what you call a ego is not really a ego, Debates have been a part of our religion to avoid EGO and understand the true essence of LIFE more clearly. But in Abrahamic religions like Christianity and Muslim, there is no place for Debate on Religion that's why they have been very close-minded when it comes to religion. When India(Bharat) allowed Abrahamic religions to come to India they face much cultural destruction and Hate for the Indian people and whatever way they tried to convert people of India, believing that we are Superior some other wasteful things. If you take the example of Science they debate to improve.
I see. -well - in terms of Christianity it's about yeah believing in one truth - accepting Jesus as your saviour. However, I feel like a lot has been 'misused' to serve certain interests .... and that's why I'm spiritual rather than anything else. I like to believe we are all part of the same source energy and all is governed by a couple of universal laws that we should be aware of and yeah...
@@zuzanareactsThe main difference between Abrahamic religions and Dharmic religions is : in the 1st people have to believe and in 2nd people are encouraged to seek. This is the reason why all the Dharmic religious texts are mostly scientific books on all subjects but in Abrahamic religions only one book is above other books and that completely contradicts sciences.
This historic debate not done in mahishmati but this is done at the land of knowledge currently in "Bihar" state. And mandal Mishra and Bharti Devi was not only household they are also great pandits in religious book and teach students
Just to clarify few things. Aatma is not soul it's the self. There's no such thing as soul in advait philosophy, And God is nothing but the higher consciousness. According to advaid philosophy. Braham is just a name given to that consciousness just to point at it. Another name of braham is atma aka the self. It's a very vast philosophy. It takes a lot of time and effort to learn it. I've studied vedanta philosophy for 2 years.
Adi Shankara Acharya ji was the greatest philosopher who even tested by twice by lord shiv and guided his knowledge in a right direction which was required in society.
I believe this debate happend 1300years ago in 8th century BC when Buddhism came to its peak and people strtd rejecting vedic philosophies ..due to its comolexity and miscommunicated theology ...adi shankaracharya consolidated the knowledge of vedas through vedanta ....
Oh great Adi Shankara 🙇♂️🙏 Sadhguru 🙏 always recite the same shloke(verses) of Adi shankara everytime he starts any debate or interview or addressings. Please do watch Sadhguru talk about the great Adi Shankara.
Since you are reacting on spiritual topics, I suggest you to react to Swami Sarvapriyananda. He represents the school of Advaita Vedanta, the school of Adi Sankaracharya. If you are interested in Spiritual topics, it is necessary to approach it systematically. So, please react to Swami Sarvapriyananda, you will get an idea of Indian philosophy.
Sanatan is a bundle of ideas where there are concepts varying from no go to one god and one god and his many manifestations. In sanatan questioning is not discouraged but is given more importance than answers because questions demolish the established answers All the sanatan books are compilation of words of wisdom of wisemen and not from GOD which contains commandments that are to be obeyed without questioning. Sanatan is based on Updesh ie advise. If that advise passes the test of your critical thinking you can accept it or move on to next level. This process of critically examining an idea was called Shastrarth. ie questioning the established idea and propounding a new idea.
Yes, Sankarachariya defeated Buddhism by this kind of debt across the India and re established SANATAN DHARMA in India, that's why BUDHYISM wipe out from India. Koti koti pranaam to Bhagbaan Sankarachariya 🇮🇳😊🙏❤
@@zuzanareacts He takes SANYAS at the age of just 8 and started to walking from his State Kerala to State Maharashtra around 2000 kms by alone at the age of 8 years, thousand years ago when there were no proper infrastructure and electricity. How could be possible this at the age of 8 ! He reached to his master/guru The great PATANJALI who wrote YOG-SUTRA known as Patanjali Yoga Sutra and then He received teaching from PATANJALI for consecutive 4 years abuot KARMA YOG, GAYAN YOG, RAJ YOG, HAT YOG and become SARBAGNA(means Who know everything) at the age of 12, lastly Guru Patanjali inform to Sankara about the cause of Sankara's Birth in this World is to reestablished SANATAN DHARMA in India by Defeating Buddhism in Debates, then Patanjali took Nirvana/Death. Actually Sankarachariya is the reincarnation of God SHIVA ! If Buddhism continued at that time, then India easily ISLAMISED like Afghanistan, Central Asian etc countries where Buddhism was flourished! Duo to Huge power of SANATAN Dharma we still countering evil Abrahamic force and now push back from our soil ! Om Shanti om Shanti om Shanti, God bless you 🇮🇳 🕉🙏❤️
Sister, if you want to learn how 'Vedanta' won, kindly read the book named 'Code Name God', authored by a physicist, an inventer of type of Laser- Lasik Laser used in eye surgeries, his name is Mr.Mani Bhaumik.
Debates happened very often in ancient Bharat. Infact you will be surprised to know that our religious texts are mostly debates or QnA sessions 😂. Bhagwat Gita is an example. Todays Indian news channels should learn the ettiquets from them.
Now you are coming to know what it means to be a sanatani, everything has to be learnt through self discovery, my own self discovery is that you can realise who you are through meditation, and that you don't need a guru. You can know your divine sacredness through meditation, you don't have to become worthy to any man made standard and you don't have to follow like a sheep . Danny South Africa.
Sorry if I sound presumptuous…..but the debate was not about who is superior….it was about which way of life is superior in terms of living a meaning full life and reach Devine power…each one was proponent of their ideology. It is not about ego that’s why there was debate and not enforcement of once ideology….and yes this is historic event
I hear you. I guess the way I look at it and there are many angles and many are valid = so I'm definitely not taking away from what you are saying as it's also very fair. How I view is that we are all God and nothing we do can not be not perfect or better than anything else. We are different expressions of divinity - there is no comparison. I do in this context associate 'ego' with comparison. I think there certainly can be presumptuous 'a better' way than the other but I think different things work for different people and we are all divine expressions and 'God' wants to know it all. Not too sure if I'm making myself clear here.
I think the contemporary thought process is built upon ancient intellect . I too have a moderate opinion about life . However deeper questions ,just like mathematical problem ,one can give the final answer ,without explaining the process to come to the conclusion. The process of coming to an answer is a deeper experiance that just taking an answer for granted . In ancient times they debated deeper questions ,sometimes in public . It makes the public enlightened aswell.
@oogyyylovescockroaches001well u can't have everything perfected and I am by no means claiming hes the gods chosen one but for a state which used to burn daily in riots has not seen riots in the last 7 years and continues to grow rapidly last year it grew around 17% in Gdp....u gotta have respect for that
Check out Alan Watts' 'Bhagavad Gita: A Message To Modern Man'. In this video, Alan Watts discusses the Hindu scripture, Bhagavad Gita, and its depiction of God in Hinduism. He explores the stark differences between Hinduism and the Abrahamic religions, shedding light on the unique aspects of the Bhagavad Gita and its relevance to modern times.
Shankaracharya and Mandanmishra debate is incomplete without knowing about Guru of Mandanmishra 'Kumaril Bhatt '. Aadi Shankaracharya regretted whole life because Kumaril Bhatt didn't wrote a book for him. Defeat Kumaril Bhatt in debate and ask him to write book on Adishankaracharya's Adwait Siddhant, this was the task for Shankaracharya, but Kumaril Bhatt sacrificed himself in fire in front of Shankaracharya, and send Shankaracharya to his disciple Mandanmishra for debate.
Correction ma'am.... These were not the battle of beliefs or religion, generating out of their ego. Both of them knew that one can achieve God's grace by any way he follows. It is the debate of Philosophy. Such debates on Philosophy used to take place in ancient times. Not only in India but also thorough out other ancient civilizations. In ancient Greece there were also such debates used to take place... Plato, Aristotle, Socretus also participated in many debates on philosophy just like it.. Do you think they also had ego problem??
J Shetty got into a lot of truble! I love Robin Sharma books - I read almost all of them! I didn;t know he is from Nepal but I really appreciate his writing.
Jay shetty is not a monk nor should we call him a monk. You can say he is a seeker who practice meditation actively and is spiritually aware than common people. The term monk is all together different thing.

Dear Zuzana It was nice to see that you are now understanding what is SPIRITUALITY . YOU HAVE HIT THE NAIL BY finding the right kind of video for your numerous questions and hazy picture about HINDU Spirituality. In my earlier replies to you and in comments you would remember that SPIRITUALITY IN THE HINDU PHILOSOPHY IS VERY DIFFERENT AND Is very DEEP DETAIL THAN WHAT YOU AS A REIKI MASTER KNEW. BY MERELY KNOWING SIX chakras is of no use. The mediation and spirituality practiced in INDIA and by Hindus and philosophy is so deep FOR a Foriegner to understand. You are now on the right path for your curioousity and exploration journey about HINDUISM AND HINDU PHILOSOPHY . Yoga is not that kind of exercises which you do YOGA is a means to get to the real Brahma a way to reach the higher realms of meditation to reach the eternal bliss. The story where ADI SHANKARA GOES OUT OF THE BODY INTO THE KINGS BODY IS KNOWN AS PARA KAYA PRAVESH which is a very difficult YOGIC TANTRA which was also done by GURU MACHHINDRA NATH OUT OF THE "NAV NATH " SAMPRADAYA. YOGIC TANTRA ALSO HAS CONCEPTS AND PRACTICES OF BECOMING SO MINUTE LIKE AN ATOM TO GO THROUGH GLASS, GO THROUGH HARD ROCK DISAAPEAR AND REAPPEAR , TELEPORTATION , DO TELEPATHIC CONTACT, PARAPSCYOLOGICALLY PROJECT YOUR FULL BODY AS IF YOU ARE PRESENT, MAKE YOURSELF PRESENT SIMULTANEOUSLY AT MANY PLACES OR PROJECT YOURSELF INTO SOMEONES DREAMS . THUS Meditation described in Hindu scriptures and practiced by various sages and evolved saints are plenty. MAY you be successful on this journey. There are many videos and books in much more detail for you to explore.

one can see how many km devine shankaracharya guruji walking doing his lifetime. it surprises and shokes everyone...
Hinduisn grows from debates, there are no god's directives, we question every directives. But these debates are to increase knowledge, more like brain storming to extract finer details.
Shri Shankaracharya..🙏🌹🙏
Thankyouu for yhe video , today i learned something new😊
Shankaracharya's position in the debate is incredibly simplified, it's actually very logical and deeper. Obviously, this gentleman didn't want to make this an academic video, so I'm not blaming. Swami Sarvapriyananda has great videos on Vedanta, he is a practicing monk. I'd highly recommend watch/reacting to "Who Am I" lecture of him, you will love it as he dives deep into the philosophy itself to explain in simplified language with examples.
thank you!
I am halfway through it and loving it already....
thank you! : )
Zuzana I recommend you study a documentary called saheb who never left india . It will give you glimpse of what constitutes a common indian views towards it's own culture and history . It is just the tip of iceberg but great way to get jist of Indian subcontinent and it's relations to it's current geopolitics
Thank you for being the medium that i was able to come across this piece through you

He was one of the greatest saints of kaliyuga with all the super natural powers which one can think of.Origin of universe- Bhraman>god the almighty(lord vishnu0>mother nature or sakthi(simultaneous origination )- they work complimentary to keep the creation going and she is the source of all energy in this universe-so duality exists fm there but Sankara didnt accept duality and argued for akathva or oneness of the bhraman only.My former guru says due to this ego problem he couldnt go further higher up.
.1.once while travelling astrally with saint Narada -when they were over guruvayur(lord vishnu the presiding deity)narada descended to pay his respects but sankara declined saying he didnt believe in deities but the bhraman only- fell right down in front of the idol helpless and no energy.He praised the lord composing a beautiful poem called bhugangaprayathm .He was directed to proceed and put the temple administration and give directions for the yearly festivals ,and all the other objectives related to it and hence was forgiven,
2.In his determination to prove duality wrong he went for a debate with the devotees of sakthi(at Mookambi temple in karanataka)
.The bhramin priests and devotees prayed to her as they stood no chance against him .At night she descended into his room and he found he was without any energy to even get up.She said -leave tomorrow by sunrise and no arguements with my devotees.and he complied.
3.Once roaming in the Himalayas he met a wild hunter fm the lowest of castes and asked him to give him right of way and not come in his path.The hunter(siva himself sankara was only an incarnation of siva)lectured him and sankara lost out in the debate that followed and siva adivised him that with his caste mentality he cant go much far in spirituality.
thank you for sharing!
Thanks because of you I listen to this beautiful video
It's my pleasure
21:26 Aham Brahmashmi means i am the universe (like taking a Universal identity),
Not I am divine
Many things gets lost and misinterpreted in translation ( of language or understanding )
Actually what you call a ego is not really a ego, Debates have been a part of our religion to avoid EGO and understand the true essence of LIFE more clearly. But in Abrahamic religions like Christianity and Muslim, there is no place for Debate on Religion that's why they have been very close-minded when it comes to religion. When India(Bharat) allowed Abrahamic religions to come to India they face much cultural destruction and Hate for the Indian people and whatever way they tried to convert people of India, believing that we are Superior some other wasteful things. If you take the example of Science they debate to improve.
I see. -well - in terms of Christianity it's about yeah believing in one truth - accepting Jesus as your saviour. However, I feel like a lot has been 'misused' to serve certain interests .... and that's why I'm spiritual rather than anything else. I like to believe we are all part of the same source energy and all is governed by a couple of universal laws that we should be aware of and yeah...
@@zuzanareacts World is one Family. So we should learn good things from each other and Contribute to the betterment of the society.
@@zuzanareactsThe main difference between Abrahamic religions and Dharmic religions is : in the 1st people have to believe and in 2nd people are encouraged to seek. This is the reason why all the Dharmic religious texts are mostly scientific books on all subjects but in Abrahamic religions only one book is above other books and that completely contradicts sciences.
Nice to see you again mam 😊😊😊
Thanks a lot 😊
I heard it from the Sanskrit movie on Sankara, on television, as a kid of ten.
I have heard about this debate and many other debates also. I have known some teachings from that debates but not in this much depth. Thank you 🙏🙏
❤❤❤
This historic debate not done in mahishmati but this is done at the land of knowledge currently in "Bihar" state. And mandal Mishra and Bharti Devi was not only household they are also great pandits in religious book and teach students
It is a spiritual and intelectual deabate.
Thanks for uploading the video
Thank you ❤
greatest philosophy of all times in hindu scriptures
Just to clarify few things. Aatma is not soul it's the self. There's no such thing as soul in advait philosophy, And God is nothing but the higher consciousness. According to advaid philosophy. Braham is just a name given to that consciousness just to point at it. Another name of braham is atma aka the self. It's a very vast philosophy. It takes a lot of time and effort to learn it. I've studied vedanta philosophy for 2 years.
I think Jay shetty is from India... 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 but he took uk residency....... His mother is gujarathi and father also indian.....
Adi Shankara Acharya ji was the greatest philosopher who even tested by twice by lord shiv and guided his knowledge in a right direction which was required in society.
I believe this debate happend 1300years ago in 8th century BC when Buddhism came to its peak and people strtd rejecting vedic philosophies ..due to its comolexity and miscommunicated theology ...adi shankaracharya consolidated the knowledge of vedas through vedanta ....
interesting
Oh great Adi Shankara 🙇♂️🙏
Sadhguru 🙏 always recite the same shloke(verses) of Adi shankara everytime he starts any debate or interview or addressings.
Please do watch Sadhguru talk about the great Adi Shankara.
greatest philosopher of Adi Shankaracharya Indian Hindu Guru. Guru meaning teacher
Adi shankar is incarnation of lord Shiva they say.
Interesting
Since you are reacting on spiritual topics, I suggest you to react to Swami Sarvapriyananda. He represents the school of Advaita Vedanta, the school of Adi Sankaracharya. If you are interested in Spiritual topics, it is necessary to approach it systematically. So, please react to Swami Sarvapriyananda, you will get an idea of Indian philosophy.
Adi Shakaracharya was first teacher of Hinduism ❤❤❤❤
As soon as he said mahatamma Gandi, the discussion went to garbage and we now know the reality of gandi but he surely doesn't
Dharma means to contain the society according to rules.
This is not the full meaning but for a society i am telling everyone dharma is different
Sanatan is a bundle of ideas where there are concepts varying from no go to one god and one god and his many manifestations.
In sanatan questioning is not discouraged but is given more importance than answers because questions demolish the established answers
All the sanatan books are compilation of words of wisdom of wisemen and not from GOD which contains commandments that are to be obeyed without questioning.
Sanatan is based on Updesh ie advise. If that advise passes the test of your critical thinking you can accept it or move on to next level.
This process of critically examining an idea was called Shastrarth. ie questioning the established idea and propounding a new idea.
Yes, Sankarachariya defeated Buddhism by this kind of debt across the India and re established SANATAN DHARMA in India, that's why BUDHYISM wipe out from India. Koti koti pranaam to Bhagbaan Sankarachariya 🇮🇳😊🙏❤
interesting
@@zuzanareacts He takes SANYAS at the age of just 8 and started to walking from his State Kerala to State Maharashtra around 2000 kms by alone at the age of 8 years, thousand years ago when there were no proper infrastructure and electricity. How could be possible this at the age of 8 !
He reached to his master/guru The great PATANJALI who wrote YOG-SUTRA known as Patanjali Yoga Sutra and then He received teaching from PATANJALI for consecutive 4 years abuot KARMA YOG, GAYAN YOG, RAJ YOG, HAT YOG and become SARBAGNA(means Who know everything) at the age of 12, lastly Guru Patanjali inform to Sankara about the cause of Sankara's Birth in this World is to reestablished SANATAN DHARMA in India by Defeating Buddhism in Debates, then Patanjali took Nirvana/Death. Actually Sankarachariya is the reincarnation of God SHIVA !
If Buddhism continued at that time, then India easily ISLAMISED like Afghanistan, Central Asian etc countries where Buddhism was flourished! Duo to Huge power of SANATAN Dharma we still countering evil Abrahamic force and now push back from our soil ! Om Shanti om Shanti om Shanti, God bless you 🇮🇳 🕉🙏❤️
thank you!!!
Sister, if you want to learn how 'Vedanta' won, kindly read the book named 'Code Name God', authored by a physicist, an inventer of type of Laser- Lasik Laser used in eye surgeries, his name is Mr.Mani Bhaumik.
Debates happened very often in ancient Bharat. Infact you will be surprised to know that our religious texts are mostly debates or QnA sessions 😂. Bhagwat Gita is an example. Todays Indian news channels should learn the ettiquets from them.
interesting!
My god is Adi Shankara 🔱
THIS was a MAGNIFICENT presentation by the SWAMIJI !
Now you are coming to know what it means to be a sanatani, everything has to be learnt through self discovery, my own self discovery is that you can realise who you are through meditation, and that you don't need a guru. You can know your divine sacredness through meditation, you don't have to become worthy to any man made standard and you don't have to follow like a sheep . Danny South Africa.
Sorry if I sound presumptuous…..but the debate was not about who is superior….it was about which way of life is superior in terms of living a meaning full life and reach Devine power…each one was proponent of their ideology. It is not about ego that’s why there was debate and not enforcement of once ideology….and yes this is historic event
I hear you. I guess the way I look at it and there are many angles and many are valid = so I'm definitely not taking away from what you are saying as it's also very fair. How I view is that we are all God and nothing we do can not be not perfect or better than anything else. We are different expressions of divinity - there is no comparison. I do in this context associate 'ego' with comparison. I think there certainly can be presumptuous 'a better' way than the other but I think different things work for different people and we are all divine expressions and 'God' wants to know it all. Not too sure if I'm making myself clear here.
Aum Namah Shivaye 🙏
I think the contemporary thought process is built upon ancient intellect . I too have a moderate opinion about life . However deeper questions ,just like mathematical problem ,one can give the final answer ,without explaining the process to come to the conclusion. The process of coming to an answer is a deeper experiance that just taking an answer for granted . In ancient times they debated deeper questions ,sometimes in public . It makes the public enlightened aswell.
fair!
one from Think School how a monk is transforming UP(state in india which would rank 6th worldwide in terms of population)
@oogyyylovescockroaches001 Best CM any state can ask for....fair to all fear none
@oogyyylovescockroaches001well u can't have everything perfected and I am by no means claiming hes the gods chosen one but for a state which used to burn daily in riots has not seen riots in the last 7 years and continues to grow rapidly last year it grew around 17% in Gdp....u gotta have respect for that
@oogyyylovescockroaches001ohh

Please play in normal speed its ...❤
Wow
When i hear advait vedanta i only imagine 2 people 1st adi guru shankaracharya 2nd Mr Acharya prashant.
And Swami Sarvapriyananda and Chinmayananda
Adi guru shankaracharya was a bramhachari (Celibate)
Adi Shankara is God to us
I love this video 👏🥳
And also you writing important comments from the vedio👌😇
Thank you so much 😀
@@zuzanareacts 😉
Shankaracharya and Mandanmishra debate is incomplete without knowing about Guru of Mandanmishra 'Kumaril Bhatt '. Aadi Shankaracharya regretted whole life because Kumaril Bhatt didn't wrote a book for him. Defeat Kumaril Bhatt in debate and ask him to write book on Adishankaracharya's Adwait Siddhant, this was the task for Shankaracharya, but Kumaril Bhatt sacrificed himself in fire in front of Shankaracharya, and send Shankaracharya to his disciple Mandanmishra for debate.
Correction ma'am.... These were not the battle of beliefs or religion, generating out of their ego. Both of them knew that one can achieve God's grace by any way he follows. It is the debate of Philosophy. Such debates on Philosophy used to take place in ancient times. Not only in India but also thorough out other ancient civilizations.
In ancient Greece there were also such debates used to take place... Plato, Aristotle, Socretus also participated in many debates on philosophy just like it.. Do you think they also had ego problem??
do you think you also got an ego problem? :)
Don't wonder, this is actually a real story. All of this is recorded.
I will reffer you , to better understand of adved vendant philosophy please watch "who i am" lecture by swami sarvapriyaa nanda IIT kanpur.
Know.thts the limit to ur reality.advaita vedanta have been read by all xtian intellectuals from 17th cent to oppeneheimer bt west doesnt know it
J Shetty is good but got into trouble recently with the law. Robin sharma wrote "the monk who sold his ferrari"...He is from Nepal. You are right.
J Shetty got into a lot of truble! I love Robin Sharma books - I read almost all of them! I didn;t know he is from Nepal but I really appreciate his writing.
Jay shetty is not a monk nor should we call him a monk. You can say he is a seeker who practice meditation actively and is spiritually aware than common people. The term monk is all together different thing.
he says he was a monk. I'm aware he is not a monk. How do people perceive him in India?
@@zuzanareacts 97% of people doesn't know him rest 3% knows him. That's it. Whatever he is selling or doing it'll work in the west. It'll garner minuscule of success in India. So he knows his audience and there he is trying. This much i can say
@@ranitrussel3330 I see - Thank you for sharing.
You are doing a great job
Dear Zuzana It was nice to see that you are now understanding what is SPIRITUALITY . YOU HAVE HIT THE NAIL BY finding the right kind of video for your numerous questions and hazy picture about HINDU Spirituality. In my earlier replies to you and in comments you would remember that SPIRITUALITY IN THE HINDU PHILOSOPHY IS VERY DIFFERENT AND Is very DEEP DETAIL THAN WHAT YOU AS A REIKI MASTER KNEW. BY MERELY KNOWING SIX chakras is of no use. The mediation and spirituality practiced in INDIA and by Hindus and philosophy is so deep FOR a Foriegner to understand. You are now on the right path for your curioousity and exploration journey about HINDUISM AND HINDU PHILOSOPHY . Yoga is not that kind of exercises which you do YOGA is a means to get to the real Brahma a way to reach the higher realms of meditation to reach the eternal bliss. The story where ADI SHANKARA GOES OUT OF THE BODY INTO THE KINGS BODY IS KNOWN AS PARA KAYA PRAVESH which is a very difficult YOGIC TANTRA which was also done by GURU MACHHINDRA NATH OUT OF THE "NAV NATH " SAMPRADAYA.
YOGIC TANTRA ALSO HAS CONCEPTS AND PRACTICES OF BECOMING SO MINUTE LIKE AN ATOM TO GO THROUGH GLASS, GO THROUGH HARD ROCK DISAAPEAR AND REAPPEAR , TELEPORTATION , DO TELEPATHIC CONTACT, PARAPSCYOLOGICALLY PROJECT YOUR FULL BODY AS IF YOU ARE PRESENT, MAKE YOURSELF PRESENT SIMULTANEOUSLY AT MANY PLACES OR PROJECT YOURSELF INTO SOMEONES DREAMS . THUS Meditation described in Hindu scriptures and practiced by various sages and evolved saints are plenty. MAY you be successful on this journey. There are many videos and books in much more detail for you to explore.
HIS GRACE ADI GURU SANKARACHARYA is our HISTORY not story please
If you want to know more Soul, god, universe, creation, or how to live good life with metarial things read the book of sawami dayananda Saraswati founder of Arya samaj
Have a nice day 😊
Hello,is that wine or coca-cola you are having,If it's wine,how good is Slovak wine?I have heard Czech wine is good so do share how good Slovak wine is. How far is Slovenia from Slovakia? Non-Drinker here btw,lol ,but I like to see different wine cultures of the world.Thank You
coca-cola :), I don't drink wine. We also have Tokai wine which is good. For Slovenia - feel fee to google - it is not close
@@zuzanareacts Thank you for the reply.At some point in the future if you could talk about how Czech Republic and Slovakia split,would be good to have some ground level perspective rather than mainstream media which is mostly agenda based one way or the other.I know some o it through google but I don't want to completely go by it..Thank You
Hey, This Was Guru Swami Vivekanand who said that every path is divine in Dharm Sansad of America. I don't think Bible gives this to You. Swaami Vivekanand made this philosophy popular in America.
When you read the rig veda, you will understand both Hinduism and religion.
