- Dr. Ravi Ravindra, Templeton Advisor and Philosopher of Science & Religion In Conversation with Rajiv Malhotra
Dr Ravi Ravindra has played a critical role in education Templeton Foundation & other Christian intellectuals on how to digest Vedanta ideas to boost and reinvent Christianity in a scientific manner. Rajiv Malhotra brings this out systematically, and both sides discuss the pros/cons of this.

Why should Christians use our Hindu scriptures to improve their religion?
This has 'Warning! Danger!' written all over it.
They got a habit of eating others vomiting.
Arid exactly that’s what I meant to say..it should not copied..just forging things
shatkala nathan
christians call their bible as vedhas, and their place as vedhagama padasalai
Shatkala Nathan This is their way acknowledgment that our religion is superior and sitting at its feet to learn & improve their religion.
Tney will digest it and then say they inspired Hinduism
just because Hinduism may have problems, doesn't justify its digestion into Christianity. what nonsense is Mr. Ravindra speaking.
We Indians are like this. We need to change, awaken and remain awake at all times. Ever thought why SlumDOG Millionaire became such a Hollywood success all over the world? We did not even understand the insult..!
Actually they're already doing conversions with this very logic. Saying Jesus is the Prajapati, he's Krishna and he has a new message and commands. So inducting Hinduism isn't a hindrance but a weapon to conversion.
basically using falsehood
Rajivji is a master at this art, in marathi this is called 'shal-jode' ( slapping someone with chappals by covering them in a silk shawl)
in Bengali we call it 'Kambal Dhulai"
To all...... Nd they say India was not one state before the British 🤣🤣🤣
Dr Ravi is helping Christianity digest Hindu concepts. Dr. Ravi is completely oblivious to this.
He id aware of what he is doing!
They are receiving millions of US dollars not for nothing..!
Yes, I'm very concerned about this. Because all of these 'Christian Yoga' cult being spread on the US and across the word making me even more nervous.
Rajiv ji, please connect with some Chinese studies (Confucius type) scholars, and please provide your audience a perspective on their way of operations in the US. How they've been able to impact American academia and the american discourse on Asia. Do they feel under threat of digestion? or are they able to come on tops and turn the tables.. Thanks.
Ravi is clever enough to understand what rajivji is trying to put forward, but intentionally avoiding it as he will loose all his funding, chair, affiliations, ..... Honesty is expected from such intellectuals.
Rajiv ji is a pioneer! What an honour to be alive and see this revolution! Bhagwan aapka swasthya banaye rakhe! With deepest gratitude from India!
cultural plagiarism and then appropriation and then complete digestion......a viscious cycle
Already the churches have "dwajasthambam", "chandan", "Prasad", velankanni temple doing a "padayathra" etc. They are trying to digest the local practice
In guntur (Andhra Pradesh - the current capital) they have churches built in the shape of gopuram with a cross on top which you notice only at close quarters. They are also copying the temple structures so the gullible soul harvested people won't feel out of place.
Suresh Parthasarathy they r fraud slowly eating religion of others
Just see how miserable Christian r in country they converted phillpenes Africa even there own country
Would it be unwise to build temples in the design of European Churches to rope in the Christians who have been Christians for several generations ? I know that the number of such Christians is quiet high in Andhra, TN and Kerela ... European style Hymns could be composed and ritiuals could be adapted to look more like Church Rituals , Like instead of Aarti , pure Bees Wax and Ghee Candels could be used and instead of Incense Sticks or AgarBatti we could use Catholic stule frankincense burner .The Ghanta or the temple Bell could be placed just like a Church Bell and during Aartis could be rung with the help of a rope ,like they do in Churches.
yeh the churches in Kerala has the Hindu traditional lamp which once was a trademark design of temples of Kerala but now they are found in churches ad mosques
I received the following New Year greeting from Dr Ravi Ravindra. He is clearly upset at me for this interview. But I do not think the words he accuses me of uttering below are to be found in the video. People can view and decide whether his complaint is valid or merely hysterical. Ravi's email to me reads: "Dear Rajiv: Happy New Year to you! Many thanks for promoting me on on ua-cam.com/video/9jjsiAFVdXc/v-deo.html as 'Sold out spineless Ravi, for money and little gain. cohabiting with Whites and partaking of their benefactions, always blames Indians at every turn. Shameless sell out.'”
Best wishes.
Ravi
please do not worry Rajivji .... people who take great pride in eulogies from the western celebrated intellectuals will definitely hurt by truth ... but that's ok ... truth is cruel
*be
also Rajivji ... kindly elaborate in your future lectures what Hinduism has to say about "shaming" and "bullying tactics" which I think is a western concept ... how do we counter that?
Rajivji .. Looks like a bridge has been burned. I wish this movement to take off on all fronts. With this interview you may have made some of us hard core supporters happy. We need support of the many such influential thinkers/leaders to rope in a billion into the fold. No time to loose people..
Your guest is non-committal . He kept changing subject when you tried to pin him down. In a long run, he had made up his mind to do the damage to Hinduism in exactly the same way as you have been pointing out in all the past videos
Thats the point I am bringing out - so you folks are not so naive.
Rajiv Malhotra Official please invite Rahul Mehta for discussion
PLEASE Sanathan Dharm is much bigger. Even Hinduism is not enough, we are not even the same Hindus in Dwapar and Tretha Ages. PLEASE rename this great system of organising life as Sanathan Dharm or Eternal Life Science, nothing less, Hinduism is not enough.
@@RajivMalhotraOfficial As long as such people get false respect, publicity and attention on top of millions of dollars, who cares for Sanathan Dharm the Eternal Life Science for all times to come that's NOT going to change even if the Earth were to be created and destroyed a thousand times again..? www.superconsci.blogspot.com
There is Hindu beliefs that you become what you eat and digest; if not in this life, in the future ones at least. let us hope this happens to the digesters. Gods ways are indeed inscrutable!!
After hearing his talk I can make out that he is happy by getting invited to these places being a VIP and earning lot of money by selling himself out. I term these people as Modern JAYCHAND of India
Though I have mentioned it somewhere else, I find it pertinent to make an important remark. One of the major, unignorable instances of digestion is "Kristubhagavatam: A Mahakavya in Sanskrit based on the life of Jesus Christ" by P C Devassia. This is an important SANSKRIT work which has been awarded a Sahitya Academy Award in 1980. So, the problem of digestion is very very very serious indeed...
Rajiv ji on top of his game from 00:36:00 onwards
Yes that is the quintessential RajivM we know. Yeh dil mange more people like that.
Yes he takes and must take his job seriously.
A no-holds barred explanation of '"digestion" by Sri Rajiv Ji... Awesome...
Christianity will never be able to digest Vedanta. Vedanta is the ocean. If the current scenario continued, soon Vedanta will digest christianity instead.
They dont need to digest the whole of Vedanta. They will pick and choose what will fit in to the christian framework so that the core tenets of christianity are not compromised. Having digested some parts of Vedanta they will then try to prove to western christian followers that their religion has had these right from the time of Christ. Just that these were not given importance earlier due to ignorance. This will help them hold back people leaving christianity. In a couple of years these digested concepts will be taught to Indians who will then start to feel that the difference between Hinduism and christianity is minimal & there is nothing for Indians to be too proud of their culture, that is not there in christianity. There by facilitating the conversion of next generation Hindus
It is not whether Vedanta will get digested. They will distort Vedanta to digest what is suitable for them. Like they did with pagans.
Won't happen its internet time now.. This comment of yours and all the content will remain forever!
The greatness of the Indian system is that truth has been recognised as one. There is no separate scientific truth and spiritual truth. They have been shown to be one, with the scientific truth at the grosser level and spiritual truth at the subtler level of existence. Even Hindu religion is structured around truth with scientific methods for developing a knowledge/ experience of the truth (though those who do not understand the scientific validity of the methods call them 'rituals'). Because of that, Spirituality, Science and Religion, all are directed towards 'The Truth' in Hinduism. Christianity can never reach that lofty, all embracing position because it deals, as does western science, with the grosser level and not the subtler level. If and when Christianity digests Hinduism, it will produce Asuras (materialists) among them, with enhanced power, perhaps. Hinduism is the requirement for producing Devas (spiritualists) and the Devas have always won and will always win against the Asuras. In view of this, it would be wiser for the Christians to adopt Hinduism rather than try to digest it.
Well analysed and said, very few know even though everyone knows..
Well said! Hinduism lacks organization. The Church is rich and systemic - this power asymmetry allows them to do anything they want, manipulate the narrative anyway they want
I was just watching a UA-cam video from a very famous channel called Kurzgesagt - In a nutshell. There are videos on topics like consciousness which outright reject the idea of non living entities possessing consciousness. But have digested ideas such as third eye, reincarnation. Such videos were made using the grant from the Templeton foundation.
In 50 years they will say that they invented it.
"Deepavali" is a dazzling word. "Divali" is gibberish. #DiWali is colonial gibberish. So please, #SayDeepavali
divakar s natarajan divali is actually a gujarati word.
I am just in awe with this gentleman called Rajiv Malhotra who owns the Infinity Foundation. He gave up his thriving career and his large business for a beautiful cause i.e to tell the correct Indian Narrative and challenge western authors, academia like Harvard, Oxford and so on who somehow think they have right to abuse Indian culture of which they stole vast knowledge..
Every book and video of his is an eye opener for me and I believe it will be for every Indian who wants to know their roots.
He is empowering average Indian with the Grand India Narrative which we all know was distorted deliberately by colonial rulers Nehru, leftist authors like Romila Thappar , westerners and more importantly by their implanted sepoys (post colonial Jaychands) who still exist in the system who humilate our culutre. The govt still has a herculean task to correct the history books which treats our freedom fighters like Veer Sawarkar, Bhagat Singh and many more as terrorist. Each Hindus should do more research on our ancient scriptures to be enlightened and be able to stand firm and not be apologetic to western world or for that matter any one who challenges you on your relegion (Dharma) #LearnSanskrit #BelieveInYourHeritage #ReintroduceHinduismToHindu
I did not like the labeling of Indian mysticism. The phrase is wrong and should be drishti or darsana, some better equivalent
Great Rajivji. I apriciate what your doing for our culture. First time I have seen some one taming the tiger with Hindu Intelligence.
WOW!!!! That's a brutal confrontation!
Why do people believe in Christianity because u say Jesus died and say that Jesus was god, I thought God can't die
@Rajiv Malhotra Official, despite you excellent and aggressive questioning, Dr. Ravindra appeared to me very slippery. Interestingly, it was interesting in learning that the Ramakrishna Mission also was into such a digestion aiding exercise at one time. Can we please hear a discussion on that Sir?
Christianity want to finish Hindu religion by first creating bridge to Hindusim & then takeover they have done before on pagan Hindusim Mexican Maya problem is they use Hindu professor to enhance there religion time Hindu must realise govt is not in mood to support bcz of pressure from USA lobby
The following quote has been widely attributed to Desmond Tutu:
When the missionaries came to Africa, they had the Bible and we had the land. They said “let us close our eyes and pray.” When we opened them, we had the Bible, and they had the land.
Thats why America is famous for Studying MBA. Where you learn to sell a donkey as a horse and the customer will think he still has a horse till he dies.
It is partially true that Orthodox practitioners make the livelihood out of their acquired knowledge , but quest is beyond orthodoxy.
Dr. Ravi Ravindra seems to be a person who applies a lot of sauce of various flavours on the deer so that the Christian tigers may eat with relish!
We need more modern content for today’s audience. I can volunteer for multimedia work and I have extensive experience in MedEd CME eLearning application development for over a decade. Let’s meet and I am planning to move near your neighborhood.
Brilliant Remarks by Sri Ravi Ji on problems of Indian Govt. with regard to their attitude towards traditional methods of Hindu education....
Govt has to be politically correct first than stand for truth ... for it has to be in power first ... this fact stunts our development process ... but society has to come up and not just rely on the govt.
we have to be thousands and thousands of stable truth seekers and outspoken and intellectually strong debaters ... and that we make other people run away ...
But these scientific analyses of Aagamas needs to be done by insiders...
Dr. Ravindra is right though, very very few Hindus have actually studied/even roughly understood the Vedas or the Bhagavad Gita. Sad to see these kinds of books lending credence to digestion though!
What an Extra-Ordinary arguement: Can I discover Maa Kaali in me? Sri Rajiv Ji is indeed verily Adi Shankara...
"The DNA is not quest for truth, it is power of the institution"
About the u-turn... Very interesting point that people need to understand. Rajivji mentions that they accept many things about Hinduism as well as their own beliefs. This becomes muddled up, and as Rajivji mentions, this is not a stable place to be in the long-term. May I offer something more to this? My feeling is that these people who do these u-turns have to cross that huge civilizational divide to go from being an ardent Christian to a supposedly strong Hindu. You may have to correct me on this, as I do not have the experience of conversion from an Abrahamic religion to Hinduism, as I didn't grow up as a Christian.
This is my take on why this happens. To go from Christianity to Hinduism requires a very big shift, not only conceptually, as in soul versus ātmā, Jesus only versus your iṣṭa-devatā, etc., but also people-wise and emotions-wise. See, people are inculcated with the fear of the devil, of Hell, along with the idea that "we are all sinners", etc. The fear is inculcated as a time bomb planted and armed during childhood, that impressionable age. What seems to trigger the fuse of the bomb is that the fear seems to be based on seeing oneself as having "strayed from the path of Jesus". And there is that fear that maybe, the Jesus people have the right answer after all, and there is the possibility that I might go to hell, however small it might be. IF that possibility is there at all, it just might happen... It seems to be that as one gets older (and closer to death), this time bomb is set off when certain conditions are met.
One condition for a u-turn is that some Christians may go to church because it is a comfortable social environment to be in, even though they may not believe in many things being said or practiced in church. They just don't know where else to turn to at the moment. This means that invariable, they try different groups of people and blindly find these groups that have nothing in common with them to start with. They get lonely after a while and go to church again to assuage that pain before attempting to find another group elsewhere.
Another thing is the attachment to memories, to certain people. There can be the tug of the strings of the heart, where one wants to go back to the ancestral lands, to become closer to the people and assuage that fear of loneliness as one marches towards death in an increasing unfamiliar land (as more loved ones die off), a state of the mind that is confused with reality, because the mind is a subtle level of matter or energy within the material universe. When one has been away from one's own people and one's own culture for so long, eventually, there is that pull, a yearning for the familiar, the happy times, etc.
To prevent a u-turn, I think, a number of things must happen. One, the doctrines of one's own side must be understood very well and unequivocally rejected as not reflecting the truth, the reality for oneself.
Two, the people sharing opposing perspectives must respect that conceptual boundary, as a Muslim and a Christian would - you have your house, and I have mine, so this is where it ends for you and I (the line is drawn in the sand, as far as friendships and emotional connections go). What I mean by this is that, "Oh, I have come to realize that I'm really Sanātanī, therefore, I really don't have anything in common at the spiritual level with these people." The emotional attachment for "getting together for a dinner" can become broken, since it's not comfortable to break bread anymore, as it were. It becomes awkward. It feels empty.
Three, there then needs to be a community one is drawn to, as in a community of Sanātanīs. It is not enough to merely show up at temple and only wear the clothes and the bindu on Sundays, and only recite the text or go through the motions. There must also be a personal commitment to the Hindu community. This means not only volunteering in the community when able, but also getting to know the people, forming the emotional bonds with them, and them coming to accept you as their friend. I had this experience when I was in Bhāratavarṣa. I became attached to my friends there such that I really didn't want to come back to the US because I knew what lay ahead for me; being at home away from the temple for 6 days out of the week, surrounded by non-Sanātanīs who didn't share my experiences and knowledge, etc. I could literally feel the fear of leaving my friends and the pain of the separation as I departed in the cab for home. Having all these things in place ought to minimize the potential for a u-turn. Something has to keep you in the community. If you have this, then you will not want to leave the group of people you most feel attached to.
Lastly, there must not be that time bomb called fear present in the person from childhood that gets triggered as one nears the end of life. I think that this the first thing that must be dealt with before any of the above-mentioned things are attempted, otherwise it becomes a futile exercise in changing/improving the understanding of one's self.
truth and nothing but the truth should be the 'tapasya' of a seeker ... the physical and mental stability are the pre-requisites for that ...
appreciate your thoughts in great detail ... but again stability is what must to strived for
*be
"You may have to correct me on this, as I do not have the experience of conversion from an Abrahamic religion to Hinduism, as I didn't grow up as a Christian." ... were you a Christian by birth? how did you grow up as? and what are you following now? not clear to me
I wonder how and when Dr Ravi became competent to publish commentary on Bhagavat gita. From this talk i do not see any Spiritual aspect in his talk. Does he wants to replace Vivekanand or Shankara to teach Bhagavat gita to the world ? Sad that any person is publishing and teaching Gita without having any authority. Such loose interpretation very quickly becomes dangerous to distort and defame orginal Text.
Actually Ravi wants the priests, the aghamas, the rituals, the poojas out. He wants it to be some kind of a spiritual, seeking the truth type of thing, so that it can be easily digested into Christianity. A vivekananda can be digested, but they cannot digest that poor Brahmin priest who is doing his aghama poojas to his deity at the temple, whether he is getting paid or not. We should be wary of those who just talk about “spiritualism” without the accompanying aspects of Hinduism. The priests keep the dharma alive, not the high end thinkers like vivekananda.
@@kumarbrowns "The priests keep the dharma alive,..." Very well said Sir. This Dharma is what keeps our country going despite so many problems. But our religion does not stop with Dharma. That is the first and necessary step towards higher spiritual goals. Thus it is a complete system.
Good point, Sir. Dr. Ravi is in fact very critical and dismissive of Shankara.
I love the tiger and deer analogy
very good point for rebuttal by Rajivji when he was told about "indiscretions by Hindu gurus" ... that is individual transgressions cannot be equated to conquests of civilisations ... crusades and mass killings
Rajivji is spot on. Father Bede Griffith, who was supposedly a spiritual gift of tbe British to India, in one of his talks, explains the raise of the kundalini merging in sahasrahara, eventually resulting in Christ conciousness!! As though the realised souls who wrote so elaborately about the kundalini would not know the end result!
Waiting for your IIT Madras Conference
Ravindra somehow misses the essence no matter How many times Ravi repeats
I want your insight and comments regarding Paramhans Yoganand's "The Second Coming of Christ"which also relates Jesus as a yogi.
Dr Ravindra -- are you a sell out? Don't sell your soul for a couple of bucks and 15 minutes of fame.....stop contributing to the destruction of our noble Dharma.....
This is the most powerful example of how satya and vidya become jnana and in the glare of the radiance of jnana, the fog of avidya and maya dissolves. Rajivji my humble pranaams to you with gratitude and appreciation for collating and presenting such immensly powerful content. We are indebted to you.
This guy called Ravi Ravinda...comes out as a fool...and more likely a sellout...selling vedanta to chritanity... throughout the whole discussion all he speaks it as foolish sellout...this is how the the whole India was lost by mir jafirs...he is pretty much the same mir jaffir.
All wise religions will be digested in Hinduism.Allreligions have to come down to the TRUTH and Hinduism is nothing but a TRUTH in many ways, many layers, many dimensions and in many colours, Eko Aham Bahu Syam=I am ONE but seen as Many. Islam and xtianity has not understand even 10% of Hinduism.They are very very faraway from a greater TRUTH.
Thank you very much RMji for bringing another extraordinary debate. It looks Raviji is open minded but also aware that there is no support for his work from India (as there is no institution to support) for his dharmic knowledge and because of that he has been limited to bringing up poison pills and exclusivity of Hinduism to Templeton Christianity. It looks he do not want to loose his achievement in his career at what he is now by being very straight as RMji is. But it is my opinion that Raviji can definitely wants to go beyond if he gets support from people like RMji .I admire you sir for debating with all these prominent people and trying to force them to be awaken to their real soul and duty towards Dharma.
I am very much interested in the cause .
1) I am preparing for civil services exams .
2) But I feel the same which is being discussed .
3) And I want to do sth in our mission of decolonising our people & save to protect & fortify our very original culture .
4) I felt cheated that throughout my academic career , I was deprived of my culture of Veda , Vedanta & Bhartiya Darshan .
Could you help me ...!
🙏🙏🙏🕉🙏🙏🙏
As usual Mr.Rajiv ji has uploaded another wonderful interview, Although Dr. Ravi has been working for the benefits of 'digestion agent' group he is very much an insider. Hope he would eventually strengthen the hands of Mr.Rajiv ji. Dr. Ravi has good Purva paksha knowledge which could be beneficial.
Very true that the Church [especially RCC] is in the process of digesting & reinterpreting Hinduism from Christian POV & Christianity from Hindu POV ,borrowing Hindu mode of worship etc.
Profound insight on Raimundo Panikkar's Thesis...
Yes indeed, this is aa bail mujhe maar !
Dr. Ravi Ravindra's response to Rajiv Malhotra's presenting his thesis of digestion showed how short-sighted he is in the matter. .
Pranaam. Sir!!
Those who disliked this video are very alert and aware of deception
All these investigations in Our Vedic Scriptures should be done by Indians... One University which has taken lead in that direction is SVYASA....
Rajivji is the greatest fighter for upholding the principles of dharma. He is an avatar an incarnate of the great sages who walked the great spiritual geography of India.
I wish there is a way to give 10/10 likes. Also look at the body language of Dr. Ravi, it speaks for the questions. A great +ve way of dialogue.
good show
Start at 22 mins directly if you have less time !! Rajiv ji hitting sixes at 37 !!
we should have some research on destruction of indian martial arts
Dr. Ravi Ravindra is NOW more famous. I wish him join team Infinity Foundation India that is BHARATA!? We too need U-Turners as our Maharathi.
Hats off sir for Rajivji for showing the real enemies within our own helping the tigers and get us digested
They may not even reach their goal , ie .
retaining and growing as a proud Hindu
Indian
Even if at this stage when Christianity appears to be employing really devious ways of digesting our things, we must accept the fact that it is just another sophisticated stage of this long running slow process. The christianity will always be deficient and will just be catching up with the Indian thought by slowly digesting and trying to understand it ( willingly or unwillingly - The very nature of Indian thought is that its a process and not a "Jada" set of rules. It will evolve you into a particular direction whether you want it or not - This is our "Poison pill"). Finally, if not in the present complex digestion maneuver, then in the coming ones the process will culminate into the digestion (or evolution) of all the western traditions and thoughts into the Vedic thought.
Ravi ko kya bhigoke chappal mara hai Shri Rajiv ji ne...Very nice.
Well done
There are plenty of books written by Christian scholars on the origin of the stories in the Bible. For example: Louis Jacolliot's "Le Bible dans L 'Inde/ The Bible in India" and Doane's "Bible myths and their parallels in other religions". Christians are copying Hindu knowledge, wisdom and stories since the beginning of their religion.
Dr. Ravi is on the other side.
Hindus should be proud that their scriptures and traditions are helping people of other religions to find deeper understanding of their God. This is better than developing communists and atheist. Why should the whole world follow one religion. Hinduism can be the light.The tragedy is 95% of Hindus have not read Bhagwat Gita and just have false pride of being Hindu. Should educate Hindus to read their religious books. Less than 1% of Hindus are as knowledgeable as Rajiv ji in their faith.
Christianity is cruel as opposed to Jesus who was compassionate !! Hinduism may he gone IT'S POSSIBLE but I know indian frontier will be battleground between Christian and muslim
They went off the original Tree of Dharma.
And believing that there is an omnipresent Brahma as in Paganism. They need to come back for Salvation. They need to believe in Brahma again! Jesus asked them to Believe again but Church distorted it to just use the word Believe for believing in them. If the cosmos is one, earth, moon and Sun is one, there is only one God Brahma. There can be no other Belief than believing in the Brahma the Absolute Reality. Sooner or later they will come back….like a child lost for ages.
The following lines are from the catholic faith :. I. The Desire for God
27 The desire for God is written in the human heart, because man is created by God and for God; and God never ceases to draw man to himself. Only in God will he find the truth and happiness he never stops searching for:
The dignity of man rests above all on the fact that he is called to communion with God. This invitation to converse with God is addressed to man as soon as he comes into being. For if man exists it is because God has created him through love, and through love continues to hold him in existence. He cannot live fully according to truth unless he freely acknowledges that love and entrusts himself to his creator.
These lines align so closely with bhakti traditions and with devotion even within sufi thought. Ravi ji's words may feel objectionable to some viewers here, but that is only because we have all been used to see religions as enemies of each other only. Also all religions are already intermixed. Beautiful ideas know no borders. And still each religion is a unique tradition, they don't need to become a mish mash. What people like raviji are doing is drawing out the deeper truths that speak softly within all our traditions
As ravi said digestion was and will go on and there will be few true searchers will be there. Then he is helping the entity who is determined to finish that searchers.
Excellent discussions and great insight into the church ch’s strategies!
Quintessential SRM. Goes to the real heart, lays its thread bare. Must watch
Dr. Ravi is chutiya
Great video sir, so much of knowledge contents!!! But may u plz part it into series and give a sub-topic as u do always, then people can easily know the objective easily.
i have never seen any God from Abrahamic in a lotus position as we normally available in any particular museum .
Vaisheshika can be the school of thought which Ravi ji can refer to when he said "modern science believes that matter is the primary reality and hinduism lags in that"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaisheshika
On a similar thought on Agamas, there is a very apt comment in the book, "I Am That" on Swami Nisargadatta, where he says that the Mantras carry profound spiritual power and are sacred because they have been recited over ages any number of times. Thus the Mantras are unique and cannot be replaced by any other similar words or else it will not give the same affect.
Religion and spirituality are intertwined in Hinduism unlike Christianity or Islam.
All He and She Deities are there in the I AM STATE not depending upon Christianity and Hindu culture or any other religion
Ravi ravindra has sold his soul... such people are the reason for destruction of not only hinduism but all primordial faiths...
This is one of the most spectecular piece of content I have seen so far. Having rajiv ji hold a looooong monologue and seeing in ravi's eyes that every sentence is truth no counterargument possible... and at the same time seeing traces of fear and guilt because inside he knows what he has done... I wonder what he didn't tell about church's practices to keep him aboard.
It is saam, daam, dand, bhed Arthshatra or Hitopadesh
daan
rajivji yiu are doing a great job.actually you have exposed Ravi sir and hope he realises that he needs to change his stand.
Christianity is using an outsider as bali ka bakra to prove their relegion scientific
Does any one think Ravi has realised he is helping church digest Hinduism?
"I am saying all these not to promote myself ...." :) bootlicking continues
I have to say this, Ravi's style of speaking reminds me of UG Krishna murti!
Mr. Ravi, if a priest is not needed for spirituality then a pastor or bishop is also not needed. It’s not the vivekanands or ramana Maharishis but it’s the priests who perform their duties to the gods with an empty stomach, that have kept our dharma alive.
I did not like the way Rajiv ascribed motives to Ravi
We have problems.
Here in India , we are not PROUD of our Sanatana Dharma .
We look upto the very few traditional Gurus.
Most Hindu youngsters are ashamed to relate to ANYTHING Hindu , as it may slide them down from the international platform.
I fail to understand the process of initiating the youngsters , without which , the few gurus within India , and some stalwarts like Rajivji , are going to have their work really tough.
Dr Ravindra, wake up and smell the chai! The enemy camp is using you to destroy our Dharma......
Rajivji Modi is no nonsense person after 2019 he will go full steam with you. I know he is modern day chanakya, will not leave it, will help our cause 2019 beyond i see great things happening 2024 and beyond we should see golden age. Till then we need to identify enemy within
Srinivas Kandadai stop living in delusion. he is anti hindu, those who come in churches way against cristianity are put in jail for example asharam, ram rahim, rampal etc. and why big indian temples are being looted by the government interms of management. pls b rational.
He was so Defensive. I dint have to see Twice to think .. What Does HE know of Vedanta ?? ?
Where Nothing is Real & He Is Ssssssso Scared Like Hell Its As if He will Be Crowned Lucifer by the Church. Then WHY Does He Bother. ??
Thats BECAUSE Vedanta ... Nothing is Real.
But He Wants Chocolates For Christmas Nontheless. As Thats REAL for Survival. :( :( :( What is Vedanta then ?? Chocolates ??
mr Ravi ji should realise that he is being used
