India is popular across the world as the land of ahimsa. Ahimsa is an important principle of Hindu dharma and is considered as one of the yama-s in yoga. The Sanskrit word ‘ahimsa’ is commonly translated into English as ‘non-violence’. But ahimsa is a very different concept from non-violence and it is important that people reject this mistranslation. Every sincere Hindu should understand its correct meaning without any confusion. Taking appropriate punitive or restraining action against criminals is also an act of ahimsa. In this video Babaji and Rajiv examine the concepts of ahimsa and non-violence to bring out the distinctions between the two.

#SanskritNonTranslatables #Ahimsa # RajivMalhotra
why o whyyy is this always true:
the deeper u go into Hinduism, the more meaningful it becomes...
Its so simplified, Gandhi has made it a bit more exaggerated. I am enlightened. No words but a heartfelt thanks for this video.
Rajiv ji, you have done the greatest service to Sanskrit literature by publishing this book.
Much needed clarification. Grateful to you, Sir. In this regard I would like to quote Sri Maa ( Pondicherry) on non violence. She said "if you don't resist violence, you are encouraging violence".
"Vote for Hindu Rastra"

We don't need any rastra we only need ucc
Talk logically
Great video! Imagine what would’ve happened if instead of violently fighting, Rama decided to do non-violent satyagraha and bhook hadtal at Ravana’s door !! Present day political leaders have misused the word ahimsa and non-violence so much purely for their political interests !
Eye opening !! Almost Paradigm Shifting !!
I was going through the story or recent history of Tibet and I was so anxious thinking that y those people allow Chinese to invade their country .. But now I realize that they made a mistake in understanding non violence and ahimsa
I had always wondered if hinduism preaches non violence, why did Krishna say, toleration of injustice is also sin, meaning, if some one is violent should we tolerate it? There are lot of people who take advantage of other's decency. Is knowingly tolerating that is bravado or act cowardice in the garb of non violence? Today , i got my answer. Thank you, this is a most satisfying and enlightening video. Hope all confused individuals, families, communities and nations take note of this and walk on sri Krishna's path. Hope India finds its true Ksyatrias.
Kudos! RM-ji we are honored to have you as a torch-bearer.
This is a very good explanation of Ahimsa. Ahimsa was a movement of Gandhi as perceived, but in reality it was facilitated the British. The reason is this. The had colonized many countries in Africa, in Southeast Asia and the Caribbean. Had India seized Independence using the SCB Way and the other colonies followed the same by seizing by military force, their would haven't been sufficient time to install puppet regimes in the colonies. Many Colonies which were in negotiations for their respective Independence, after 1947 had looked upto India for guidance. Malaya including Singapore, British Guiana, Trinidad and Tobago all sent delegations. They all returned home with the Congress Party's Gandhian Principles of Ahimsa as the best way to obtain Independence. Dr. Cheddi Jagan, Leader of the People's Progressive Party (PPP) of British Guiana beautifully captured his visit to India in his book WEST ON TRIAL when in October 1953, of the democratically elected self-Government, the Constitution was suspended and the leaders of the PPP were thrown in jail. After their release, Dr. Jagan decided to visit India, the country of the parents who had left India during an Indentureship of India laborers. Initially, he couldn't obtained a visa to travel to India. His visa was repeatedly rejected by India until The Hindu Newspaper of Madras intervention. The Congress Party knew that Dr. Cheddi Jagan was from the Kurmi Caste and he was uncomfortable how India Caste System must have possibly played heavily for his visa repeated rejections. Indian Congress Party was more interested in selling the idea of Non-Violence struggle. Dr. Kenneth Kaunda spoke about a similar experience before Zambia's Independence and meeting with Prime Minister J. Nehru.
Many African leaders ignored Ahimsa and took up arm struggles; they M.K. Gandhi was British puppet.
I am no scholar, but we were made to believe, it was prudent for indians to adopt non violence and total boycott of British goods at that point as it would have been impossible for divided india and a militarily weaker India to take on British.
CASTE is Portuguese word to define the CLASS SYSTEM forced upon the people of Bhaaratha, nothing to do with SANATANA DHARMA VARNASRAMA.
But when the church in India has a budget as large as our navy, how can we stop them from converting people ?
Christians should not convert non-Adamic race Dravidian Pagan Hindus to Judaism and to Christianity. Because conversation means salvation for Adam's race. Non-Adamic faith comes from non-Adamic race. Jesus Christ said in the Bible Matthew 7:6 Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls in front of pigs, or they may trample them and then turn on you and tear you to pieces.
Social media aur kya
Educate Hindus. Conversion is at the lowest level of the caste ladder. You should help break this hereditary cast-iron system and allow your children to marry inter-caste, Hindus of lower caste. Would you?
In Tamil Nadu children born to dalit families are not privileged to sit with Children of higher caste at school. Tamil Nadu has schools only for Children of lower and dalit communities. Come with me to Hindu Temple City of India, Kanchipuram and I will show you where, why and how conversion is done. Also in Kanpur, Panjab, West Bengal. DON'T BLAME CHRISTIANS OR MUSLIMS FOR HINDUS' DILEMMAS. BLAME IT ON YOURSELF. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO CHANGE CONVERSION. MANY DALITS ARE NOT POOR; THEY WANT RESPECT. THEY WANT THEIR CHILDREN TO ATTEND BETTER SCHOOLS. EVERY WORKING JEW DONATE FOR THE JEWISH CAUSE; HOW MANY HINDUS DONATE FOR A HINDU CAUSE.

Are working as Army then you should also make your army and fight them
a gem.. Sanskrit non-translatable
Wow! Now I get it.
It has just begun. Go watch now Spreading Hinduism all over the world
Wow this is so much important. Totally agree with Rajiv sir about bringing ksyatria in this era.
That's very important.
All the Indians should be trained to be eloquent and fluent in Sanskrit and indic education system, trained in Indian martial arts too as it is important to develop dignity and also for self protection.
Sometimes looking at this younger generation in India really worries me, they are so proud getting into westernization and western social media selling their identity and pride to fellow white men.
Non vio is is biggest Dharma,
Viol done to safe that Dharam is even bigger Dharma🚩🙏
Netaji was right after all.
This why Brahmanas are needed and why Daivi VarnAsrama should be established to attain Restore Dharma
This is clear n crisp description. Thanks to both the gyani.

#The best explanation ever..
Thank you for this series, sir 🙏
please ceate a dictionary of equivalents of sanskrit words in different popular Foreign languages. Especially those who demonise or misuse translations.
Read ...sanskrit non translatable book by rajiv malhotra
The issue is, there are no equivalents to some words. So we should not use or even think of the equivalents but proudly use the Sanskrit word in whatever language we are speaking. People generally feel small when they cant translate a word, but they shouldn't. The culture that produces a certain language may not have the experience of another culture that produces another language. So if we cant translate into english french etc, we shouldn't feel bad/small. we should explain what it means to the person concerned and then continue using the Sanskrit word. That's the message of this series (and book: Sanskrit Non-Translatables).
Great video.. much needed
🙏🙏🙏 Great Explanation 🙏🙏🙏
Namaste Rajiv Ji, Very beautifully and succinctly explained. We need more of these short discussions which take scriptures as pramaana. However, I would like to point out a typo in one of your slides. Ahimsa# Violence. I think you meant to say Ahimsa# Non violence. Please forgive me if I am incorrect. Thank you🙏
Very helpful . Keep the good work
Enlightening ..
Excellent discussion.
Xcellent
Hare Krishna
That’s India's problem - our Kshatriyas have been completely compromised! Jai Shree Krishna 🚩🚩
Nice explanation
"It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence." - Gandhi
Gandhi did not believe in hiding what you believe is your true nature.
Thanks you sir for guidance
Thanks 🙏, as per my knowledge every action is a same and opposite reaction, amhinsa is 3 types, mental, physical, and verbal in Manu said ( it is Real meaning minimise Karma of Hinsha called amhinsa) now a day I don’t know that how many people of the world 🌎 know Sanskrit so they bring GandhaMadav to learn the actual meaning of the word)
Thanks 🙏
अहिंसा परमो धर्मः धर्म हिंसा तथैव च: ”
इस श्लोक के अनुसार अहिंसा ही मनुष्य का परम धर्म हैं और जब जब धर्म पर आंच आये तो उस धर्म की रक्षा करने के लिए की गई हिंसा उससे भी बड़ा धर्म हैं। यानि हमें हमेशा अहिंसा का मार्ग अपनाना चाहिए लकिन अगर हमारे धर्म पर और राष्ट्र पर कोई आंच आ जाये तो हमें अहिंसा का मार्ग त्याग कर हिंसा का रास्ता अपनाना चाहिए। क्यूंकि वह धर्म की रक्षा की लिए की गई हिंसा ही सबसे बड़ा धर्म हैं। जैसे हम अहिंसा के पुजारी है लकिन अगर कोई हमारे परिवार को कोई हानि पहुंचता हैं तो उसके लिए की गई हिंसा सबसे बड़ा धर्म हैं। वैसा ही हमारे राष्ट्र के लिए हैं।
भारतीय नेताओं ने हमारे महान राष्ट्र भारत के महाकाव्य महाभारत के इस सबसे महत्वपूर्ण श्लोक को लोगों तक पूरा नहीं पहुंचाया है । इसलिए आपको उस अधूरे श्लोक को पूरा जरूर पड़ना चाइये l
Wow
Mind=blown
Perfect defination of non-violence.... Israel did the same thing recently .... Protect your people not hinsa (violance).... India should follow this defination of non-violence.
Rajeev Ji please debate on Noakhali and Mopla massacre and role of Gandhi Ji
ૐ સત્ 🙏
U are so polite ..I call such translations as bast...s translations. please bring out a book .....and shame West.
Humility and tolerance should NOT be interpreted as weakness. Mistake by the West - their Achilles Heel.
🙏🙏🙏
Ability to wage organized violence ( military) is key to peace to freedom.
Bhagawada Gita is not a Book of non-Violence, it's a Book of War, the Preparation for War.
No it is to establish dharma. To punish the Osama bin Laden will secure the people and dharama.
It's a manual of life... that's all...
There is so much mis-information about Sanatan Dharma. Thank you very much for this and other videos.
❤️❤️
Regarding the issue of Himsa / Ahimsa, I wish to add: (1) If I desire to transfer one rupee from your pocket to mine without giving back something equivalent to one rupee, that is also himsa, (2) The only way to avoid war is to be fully prepared for war at short notice, (3) Mohandas Gandhi was selective in his choice of non-violence. He did not even condemn the unimaginable cruelty Muslims unleashed on Hindus in the Moplah riots of 1921 and the massacre of Hindus in Bengal just before creation of Pakistan in 1947, (4) The skewed interpretation of Ahimsa started after Emperor Ashoka who advocated total pasifism after the Kalinga war.
Nonviolence to animals only!! Wicked should be punished according to their degree of crime.
Srimad Valmiki Ramayana has instances of Sri Rama wielding His bow and arrow to punish by talking lives if only to establish Dharma...and so not to consider such killing as violence. This was evident from His response to Vali whom He had to put sn end to.
Manusmriti ke bare me dharanaye clear kr dijiye 🙏
Ahimsa is not the act, it's mental state of compassion.. e. g krishna when ever di3 vadh of person he killed them, out of compassion.. Because by doing vadh of a cruel /adharmi u prevent him going more deeper into the bad karma..because death i it self is considered as pure because it makes person free... Jgd
🤯🤯🤯🤯
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇮🇳🚩❤
Name of babaji
But Gandhiji was not passive. He was very dynamic in his actions and led many movements against British. He may not have been accurate in definition of Ahimsa but that doesn’t make him passive. At that time he did what he thought would work best against British
Namasthê;
Sholomo Lachman below, says: “Bhagawada Gita is not a Book of non-Violence, it's a Book of War, the Preparation for War”.
Books on Sanâthana Dharma have an intelligent arrangement; in that the beginning and end words, summarizes the contents of the book. In Bagavad Gîthâ, the start word is “Dharma” and end word in “Mama”. = the book tells me what my Dharma is = how I can chip away the portions that does not belong to me = get rid of the foes = the six vices; bewilderment of Arjuna is the same faced by all human beings; the war is not to kill human beings outside; it is the enemy within that has to be slain; it does if some nasty human being/s are waging a war, physical, psychological against my Dharma, I must run away.
Such nasty human beings must be taught a lesson; in that context a person/s practicing Dharma “MUST” recognize the foe and respond, not react. War is the option when all three previous steps have failed.
Namasthê; Samastha Lôkâ Sukinô Bavanthu.
Minimum possible violence to fulfill any objective is non violence
It is absolutely fine to explain and distinguish the meaning of non-violence and Ahimsa, but Gandhi bashing is not appropriate. Here is a Gandhi quote for those who are in the electronic breast beating - “Where choice is set between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence ... I prefer to use arms in defense of honor rather than remain the vile witness of dishonor...”
Gandhiji adopted the idea of non violence from Tolstoy who was a devout Christian. It was Christian idea of non violence. Gandhiji confused Christian non violence with Hindu Ahimsa.
Not Tolstoy, but from Jesus's teachings.
Gandhi was hugely influenced by the Non Violence of Jainism ...
Think after the Act / Expression, or Be after the Act / a result, is Hinsa, a mediocre method. Ahimsa is "to Hold on" before the Expression. Think before the Act - seems to be apt than just about violence or killing etc etc. Subjective is definition here. Objective is after the subject is clear!!!
No amount of violence is acceptable if you want to practice Hindu/Buddhist asceticism for Mokṣa/Nirvaṇa.
The one who does the deed (violence), the one who gets it done, the one who inspired it and the one who supports (cheerleaders) it - all the four are equally share the fruit of the deed.

“Show him the other cheek “ comes from The Slave Bible, meant for slaves.
Romans 12:19
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord
19 हे प्रियो अपना पलटा न लेना; परन्तु क्रोध को अवसर दो, क्योंकि लिखा है, पलटा लेना मेरा काम है, प्रभु कहता है मैं ही बदला दूंगा।
20 परन्तु यदि तेरा बैरी भूखा हो तो उसे खाना खिला; यदि प्यासा हो, तो उसे पानी पिला; क्योंकि ऐसा करने से तू उसके सिर पर आग के अंगारों का ढेर लगाएगा।
21 बुराई से न हारो परन्तु भलाई से बुराई का जीत लो॥
Dear Bro, it's not the SLAVE BIBLE, but FREEDOM giving Bible. God bless you
ahimsa == non-harmfulness?!

violence against violence is Nonviolence- AHIMSA?
Violence against violence to minimise it is ahimsa
We need military to save Hindus sir. Govt may not ,it comes in to action after damage is done. Is it democracy....we don't want it.
Gandhi was foisted by the British as the leader of the masses...while they brutally eliminated true leaders like Lala Lajpat rai - imagine the pain he must've undergone, when he was killed by lati! The day Bharatha gets rid of Gandhi photo on the currency notes is the day our nation become truly free.

Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
So that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Non-violence means Mahabharata. 😅
Gandhi was anything but a Mahatma. He is the cause pretty much all the problems afflicting Bharath . Muslim appeasement, non violence against atrocious Adharmic British rule has resulted in millions of death of Indians.
Gandhiji propounded ahimsa for a particular in a particular context. Why are you bringing his name into your time-pass discussion?
Because our history propoganda is that we got independence because non violence which completely misleading.westners(uk) have vested interest in telling that look we gave you freedom non violence by Gandhi really shakes us but they want to whitewash role of revolutionary and INA sacrifices.gandhiji God status has come down we should see him as great man with good and bad attributes.
Half quoted from Geeta to make Hindus... Remove Indian army and Let Gandhi = Congress should be placed
Hindus are suffering every day in Pakistan and Bangladesh because of Gandhi. He should be held accountable.
I do not agree with when one says violence of small degree is need to restrain a violence of higher degree .
How can one be the better judge of it ?
It does take a very mature and very stable mind. Like Krishna .
Violence for greater good should be last resort.
So we say Saama dhana bheda danda
Iiii
