Ashutosh, Jay Lakhani sir has been teaching Hinduism last 25-30 years, we have been on youtube since 2008 but people just haven't noticed, please share the links via whatsapp and other social media to help us reach more people. we run a free web based Hinduism course also, please enrol on it and let others know also, please see link here for the course: hindu-academy.coachzippy.com/
@@HinduAcademy ive probably watched his videos since the earliest posting .. probably 10 years or so ago ... and i consider him one of my gurus ... his precise and simple way of explaining plus the understanding of everything .. even modern concepts .. is very very rare .. .and i have mentioned before too on comments on other videos ... that he would never claim it .. but personally i think such clarity cannot be had without a little bit of enlightenment 😊
Exactly we are seekers not believers there is no god there is only paramathma with different shapes and colours........ hare Krishna Jai bolenath Jai Sriram
Sir with all due respect we need Hindusim as experiential reality rather than philosophy. Sadhguru is doing this in a wonderful way. Hinduism is spirituality practiced for a long long time. Its more of an experiential reality.
It's hard to understand why the religions that have emerged from the Abrahamic traditions are so violent and warlike, in contrast to a way of life (Hinduism) which has always embraced peace and respect for all humanity.
why Hinduism is ok with pluralism ? ok with other religions or for that matter why so many gods / idols ? my metaphor - If one want to enjoy sweet, some eat cake, some pudding , some jalebi, or maybe honey directly, or all of them if one likes .. like just enjoying sweet, approaching almighty in different ways. its flexible.
Yes for them too. You have a shallow understanding of hinduism. Hinduism is not that simple you have to go deeper to understand it. It is not caste system it is Varna system. Imperialism destroyed it's true meaning. All in the world there is Varna in every society and every country. Brshman= intellectuals, teachers , thinkers, shatriya=army, vaishya=business-class , shudra=working class such as labours , tradesman. Now tell me what is wrong in that every society needs all of them. However there is some bad practices and mis interpretation is these things. But the beauty of Hinduism is that we are critical of ourselves and not try to hide the things. But this is truth that earlier the varna system has nothing bad as such. There were intercaste marriages. Event it was said that we all are shudra by birth.
No you are shandan... Hindusim is a religion ppl who say it as way of life is actualy from antihindu propaganda to destroy religious rights. If christian is a religion, islam is a religion than hindusim is also a religion. I am proud Hindu
Ok, but look the some filthy character s of so called God and goddess. Hinduism is Brahmanism, have lot of hearchy casteism. Saying and doing very different.
Naman to this Old man for explaining the abrahamic people our faith, I don't know if they will ever fathom how big is Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Sikhism has a huge message of pluralism in them
We need more views like these in current era of extremism. Beautiful Explanation. My way ,or Highway like medieval approach has become redundant in the 21st century.
Thank Q sir... Most scientific way of your presentation...of Our Hindhu Dharma...The echos....Soon will bombard the western materialistic world...Jai shree ram.

As a Socialist, I sincerely hope the Conservatives are able can learn a more compassionate morality from Hinduism. (Richard Dawkins does not say we are slaves to our genes, he says precisely the opposite).
"Religion is Failed Science." -Sam Harris Science doesn't come from Vedas. Vedas come from Science. #ScienceOverReligion If you're not a mazhabi, but a Dharmik, then always remember the Principles of Bibekananda. 1. Never be a Fundamentalist fanatic. 2. Always put Science and Humanism over Scriptures, and don't be afraid to reject anything unscientific inhuman things that you may come across while reading the Scriptures. 3. Everything Unscientific in Scriptures should be treated as mistakes by the philosophers and scribes writing down the Dharmik books. And everything inhuman you come across are malformations in scriptures interpolated by the malevolent scribes. 4. Dharma is not Religion, as Theists and Atheists both are equal Dhariks, and Theists have no higher ground over Atheists in Dharma. 5. "Dharma Raj" listens to both Gita and Charvak Rishi. Dharma is never conformist. And the moment Dharma puts Faith over Science and refuses to reject any part of the Scripture as being false, and the moment theists stops listening to the Atheists, and the moment Dharma denounces Atheism as being one of the most important legit position, and only Science can show the clue of deciding between theism and atheism, the moment Dharma denounces that it ceases to be "Dharma." 6. Dharma is not way of Faith. Dharma is way of SEEKING. Truth is even greater than God. Even Gods in Dharmik imaginations are shown to be seeking the Truth. 7. Vedas themselves are promoting Agnosticism. The standard position of Dharma is Agnostic. 8. But Vedas cannot ever be questioned with anything other than Science. No other Scriture in whole world of any Belief Systems has superiority over Vedas, Upanishads, Gita and all other Hindu Dharmik books. 9. Atheism is absolutely fine and Dharmik books shall ideally always be read from an pure Scientific Agnostic standpoint to find the gems hidden in the Hindu scriptures and reject the unscientific things and inhuman things mercilessly. But, pure atheism is fine, but "FAITH" OPPOSITE TO VEDAS IS ADHARMA. Therefore even Atheists are Dharmiks, and if they establish their points with Science then you should listen to them over all Scriptures, but never leave the useful knowledge of the Dharmik books, and even as an Atheist you should be an "Atheist Hindu" just like "Vaishnav Hindu", but all Abrahamic Fundamentalist believers who KNOWINGLY deny Vedas and Gita out of contradictory unscientific "Faith," they all are Adharmi. Adharmis shall be tolerated. But if your last place to stand is attacked then you have to pushback, like in Mahabharata. 10. Always enquire Scriptures from Scientific perspective, and don't hesitate a bit in rejecting anything unscientific that you may come across within the Scriptures. Always put Science over Scriptures and Faith if you're a true "Dharmik" in contrary to the Religion or Mazhab. 11. Science is the the most FUNDAMENTAL pillar of "Dharma," on the contrary to Religion. Vedas and Gita are "Central" to Dharma, but not "Fundamental." Hinduism is absolutely not Fundamentalist. Scriptural Fundamentalism is Fundamental "Adharma" as Bibekananda suggested. Dharma is NOT Faith. Dharma is Seeking and walking on the path of Truth. And certainly, Science is the ONLY Truth we Know. Dharma : Seeking, Truthful Good Actions, ONEness (Oneness with the Universe, Oneness with ALL Humanity, Oneness with Everything) This's Hinduism or one and only "Dharma" as per Saint Swami Bibekananda.
Outside the Abrahamic dichotomy of Religion vs Atheism, where they just cannot coexist and see eye to eye, Imagine an all-encompassing "School of Thought" that gives space to both theism and Atheism with equal respect, and which is an "open platform" to discuss, and really not conformist, and does not emphasize "Faith" but only concerned with "Seeking the Truth." Such an "open platform" for both theism and atheism to coexist and figure out the Truth, that "school of thought" is "Dharma" or Hinduism, which encompasses "multiple Religions that are coherent with Vedas, all ideas of all GodS of all religions, both theism and atheism and a class of philosophies developed out of Vedic series of books, both theist and atheist", that all-encompassing School of Thought is Hinduism or "Dharma." It's not a religion, it's a "class of philosophies." There are too many misconceptions about Hinduism and Hindus. As an Atheist I urge everyone to rethink Hinduism and understand what it really is, instead of shoving it as a mere Religion, which it's not. Even the judgment of the Supreme Court of India says Hinduism or "Dharma" is not a "religion," bound by Fundamentalist books and Super-Natural Faith only. And there's no fundamental concept of Casteism in Hinduism, no matter what some Hinduphobes say, with their poor understanding of Dharma, while translating Hinduism or Dharma into a Religion, from their Abrahamised Fundamentalist perspective. The central thing of Hinduism, that they have no idea of, is that Hinduism is not a Fundamentalist Book bounde Religion. It's not a Religion, as it encompasses both theists and Atheists. It's something radically different to well-learned Hindus, contrary to the Abrahamic concept of book-bound Fundamentalist Religion. To understand Hinduism, you must remember these things, "Religion is Failed Science." -Sam Harris Science doesn't come from Vedas.

Always enquire the Scriptures from a Scientific perspective, and don't hesitate a bit in rejecting anything unscientific that you may come across within the Scriptures. Always put Science over Scriptures and Faith if you're a true "Dharmik" in contrary to the Religion or Mazhab. Take whatever that suits you as Good and reject whatever that you find bad or unscientific. This's truly what Reformed Modern Hinduism of Bibekananda teaches. 11. Science is the most FUNDAMENTAL pillar of "Dharma," on the contrary to Religion. Vedas and Gita are "Central" to Dharma, but not "Fundamental." Hinduism is absolutely not Fundamentalist. Scriptural Fundamentalism is Fundamental "Adharma" as Bibekananda suggested. Dharma is NOT Faith. Dharma is Seeking and walking on the path of Truth. And certainly, Science is the ONLY Truth we Know. "Dharma : Seeking, Truthful Good Actions, ONEness (Oneness with the Universe, Oneness with ALL Humanity, Oneness with Everything)" This is Hinduism or one and only "Dharma" as per Saint Swami Bibekananda. Anyone who finds value in Hindu Scriptures are Hindus, be it a theist or an Atheist. This's the definition of being Hindu. To a well-learned "Dharmik" Hindu, Atheists like Carl Sagan or Oppenheimer too are Hindus, as they saw value in Hindu philosophies and the Bharatiya (Indian) School of Thought. Especially most of the Hindus you see abroad consciously reject (not reinterpreting or being apologist, just straight away rejects) parts or the Scriptures and still call themselves Hindus. It's unthinkable for any Muslim or other abrahamiks. Therefore nothing is more stupid than accusing Hindus of Casteism or any other ill practices, cause first of all it's not Caste that the Scriptures speak about, and Hindus are not bound by the Scriptures. It's pathetic to see people equating Islam and Hinduism. "Hindu" is hardly a religious identity. It's a cultural identity. And Atheists are Hindus as well, who are connected to the philosophy of Bharat that is India. In fact, Hindus regularly pay tribute to the Atheist Sages. In fact, World's biggest gatherings occur in the "Kumbh Mela" by Hindus in respect of the Atheist Sage "Kapil Muni." Atheists who respectfully honestly explain Vedas or Gita or other Hindu books and literature from Scientific and Humanist perspectives, Hindus consider them as Sages. And for an Atheist, Hinduism should be considered as the "First Line of Defense" for real Secularism, against Abrahamic barbarianism.
To add to this, pluralism is ok, but in reality it's personalism. Because each person has their own journey and experiences, we support pluralism but in reality it is personalism realized as pluralism. It's pluralistic personalism
Hinduism acepts other (Abrahamic) faiths because their monotheism is already absorbed within it. They, however, will understandably reject Hinduism. These faiths are based on Certainty, whereas Hinduism is about Guidelines. Abrahamic faiths are founded on the same dogma, laws and commandments for all, whereas Pluralistic Hinduism is about individual questioning and seeking - a process which is still going on. It must also be underlined that unlike Abrahamic faiths, Hinduism rests on underpinnings established over centuries by learned men, teachers (gurus), scholars, and philosophers of ancient & highly civilized India. This perhaps explains its resilience: India never became a Christian or Islamic state after centuries of foreign rule.
I’m loving the definition of “Spiritual Democracy”. Thank you. Does pluralism allow Hinduism to add foreign concepts not original to it’s thought? Or does it mean that Hinduism is what it is and in the idea of pluralism is an idea already established and available for someone to choose and accept as it is? I find most religions to be dogmatic in the form they exist and I do not see any religions evolving in any sense.
Hindusiam its real name is snatan culture.snatan means who never born and also cant die. Hindusiam= Belive in god without any religion. Hindusiam is a way of life.
Wonderful talk! You have so much passion for Hinduism and through that, I have gained a deeper understanding of these ancient teachings. Thank you so much for this knowledge, this is the true progress the world is yearning for.
Thanks for the video. Interesting explanation on religious pluralism. In Hinduism all revealed aspects of reality is true in itself, therefore it is called eternal truth santatan dharma.
If you r hindu. If you r not going to read vedas and upnishads in your life at once then plz must atleast shri mad bhagvat gita once. Plz it is essential for a hindu to get a view lf our relegion. Even every person of this world need to read bhagvat gita without any ego and attitude
What an amazing, gifted, and inspirational teacher. More than Hinduism or Indian culture, I see it as a truly all embracing universal system accessible to all souls regardless of their external appearance or ethnicity. 🙏

Hinduism is a science of observer , not observed

It's hard to understand why the religions that have emerged from the Abrahamic traditions are so violent and warlike, in contrast to a way of life (Hinduism) which has always embraced peace and respect for all humanity.
why Hinduism is ok with pluralism ? ok with other religions or for that matter why so many gods / idols ?
my metaphor - If one want to enjoy sweet, some eat cake, some pudding , some jalebi, or maybe honey directly, or all of them if one likes ..
like just enjoying sweet, approaching almighty in different ways. its flexible.
I luv to bro you talk nice
Very good,do u know about Meher baba, who United all religions
Came here from the viral 9year ago uploaded video "Are many gods better than one god"
HINDUISM THE WAY OF LIFE - for Shudras and Dalits too?
Yes for them too. You have a shallow understanding of hinduism. Hinduism is not that simple you have to go deeper to understand it. It is not caste system it is Varna system. Imperialism destroyed it's true meaning. All in the world there is Varna in every society and every country. Brshman= intellectuals, teachers , thinkers, shatriya=army, vaishya=business-class , shudra=working class such as labours , tradesman. Now tell me what is wrong in that every society needs all of them. However there is some bad practices and mis interpretation is these things. But the beauty of Hinduism is that we are critical of ourselves and not try to hide the things. But this is truth that earlier the varna system has nothing bad as such. There were intercaste marriages. Event it was said that we all are shudra by birth.

Who are we? We are not humans seeking a spiritual experience.
We are spiritual beings having human experience.

Sir in in 2019 G20 Russia Vladimir Putin in Osaka in an interview said liberalism is outdated in West ....do u agree sir ?
Ok, but look the some filthy character s of so called God and goddess. Hinduism is Brahmanism, have lot of hearchy casteism. Saying and doing very different.
sir, you are doing a great job for humanity ..may you live for 100 years and more ^_^
Omgosh!!!!
This is beautifully stated!!!!
Very brief, straightforward and to the point. I LOVE it!!!!
Simply, BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you Mr. Lakhani 🙏
Beautiful. Love it. Continue your good work. As Krishna says, when there are handful of followers of dharma I shall manifest myself to restore Dharma.
We hindus understood every point you explained because we grew up with this.
You are absolutely awesome.. So true..
Excellent speech about Hinduism the only religion who welcomes all with love, respect and peace..
Who care.
Love this praise Hinduism praise Sadhguru and definitely praise you
Naman to this Old man for explaining the abrahamic people our faith, I don't know if they will ever fathom how big is Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Sikhism has a huge message of pluralism in them
Push "Pluralism" deep into society... It has got a power to stop "terrorism"...
God is not to be believed but "experienced"
This is great work. Thank you.

Therefore even Atheists are Dharmiks, and if they establish their points with Science then you should listen to them over all Scriptures, but never leave the useful knowledge of the Dharmik books, and even as an Atheist you should be an "Atheist Hindu" just like "Vaishnav Hindu", but all Abrahamic Fundamentalist believers who KNOWINGLY deny Vedas and Gita out of contradictory unscientific "Faith," they all are Adharmi. Adharmis shall be tolerated. But if your last place to stand is attacked then you have to pushback, like in Mahabharata.
10. Always enquire the Scriptures from a Scientific perspective, and don't hesitate a bit in rejecting anything unscientific that you may come across within the Scriptures. Always put Science over Scriptures and Faith if you're a true "Dharmik" in contrary to the Religion or Mazhab. Take whatever that suits you as Good and reject whatever that you find bad or unscientific. This's truly what Reformed Modern Hinduism of Bibekananda teaches.
11. Science is the most FUNDAMENTAL pillar of "Dharma," on the contrary to Religion. Vedas and Gita are "Central" to Dharma, but not "Fundamental." Hinduism is absolutely not Fundamentalist.
Scriptural Fundamentalism is Fundamental "Adharma" as Bibekananda suggested.
Dharma is NOT Faith. Dharma is Seeking and walking on the path of Truth.
And certainly, Science is the ONLY Truth we Know.
"Dharma : Seeking, Truthful Good Actions, ONEness (Oneness with the Universe, Oneness with ALL Humanity, Oneness with Everything)"
This is Hinduism or one and only "Dharma" as per Saint Swami Bibekananda.
Anyone who finds value in Hindu Scriptures are Hindus, be it a theist or an Atheist. This's the definition of being Hindu.
To a well-learned "Dharmik" Hindu, Atheists like Carl Sagan or Oppenheimer too are Hindus, as they saw value in Hindu philosophies and the Bharatiya (Indian) School of Thought.
Especially most of the Hindus you see abroad consciously reject (not reinterpreting or being apologist, just straight away rejects) parts or the Scriptures and still call themselves Hindus. It's unthinkable for any Muslim or other abrahamiks. Therefore nothing is more stupid than accusing Hindus of Casteism or any other ill practices, cause first of all it's not Caste that the Scriptures speak about, and Hindus are not bound by the Scriptures. It's pathetic to see people equating Islam and Hinduism.
"Hindu" is hardly a religious identity. It's a cultural identity. And Atheists are Hindus as well, who are connected to the philosophy of Bharat that is India. In fact, Hindus regularly pay tribute to the Atheist Sages. In fact, World's biggest gatherings occur in the "Kumbh Mela" by Hindus in respect of the Atheist Sage "Kapil Muni." Atheists who respectfully honestly explain Vedas or Gita or other Hindu books and literature from Scientific and Humanist perspectives, Hindus consider them as Sages. And for an Atheist, Hinduism should be considered as the "First Line of Defense" for real Secularism, against Abrahamic barbarianism.
To add to this, pluralism is ok, but in reality it's personalism. Because each person has their own journey and experiences, we support pluralism but in reality it is personalism realized as pluralism. It's pluralistic personalism
Yes, it is a way of life. NOT a religion.
That's why India is such a godforsaken country.
BTW: I'm an Indian citizen and a Hindu by birth.
Hinduism acepts other (Abrahamic) faiths because their monotheism is already absorbed within it. They, however, will understandably reject Hinduism.
These faiths are based on Certainty, whereas Hinduism is about Guidelines.
Abrahamic faiths are founded on the same dogma, laws and commandments for all, whereas Pluralistic Hinduism is about individual questioning and seeking - a process which is still going on.
It must also be underlined that unlike Abrahamic faiths, Hinduism rests on underpinnings established over centuries by learned men, teachers (gurus), scholars, and philosophers of ancient & highly civilized India. This perhaps explains its resilience: India never became a Christian or Islamic state after centuries of foreign rule.
And your speech is fantastic and should go viral.
absolutely brilliant and enlightening..
I don't understand what the heck he is saying.
SLOW DOWN!!!
I’m loving the definition of “Spiritual Democracy”.
Thank you.
Does pluralism allow Hinduism to add foreign concepts not original to it’s thought?
Or does it mean that Hinduism is what it is and in the idea of pluralism is an idea already established and available for someone to choose and accept as it is?
I find most religions to be dogmatic in the form they exist and I do not see any religions evolving in any sense.
Uppercaste Hindus behave like good people in Western world,but in India look at the cruel things they do to their fellow Hindus.
Hindusiam its real name is snatan culture.snatan means who never born and also cant die. Hindusiam= Belive in god without any religion. Hindusiam is a way of life.
Indians with no Hinduism knowledge be like “proud to be Hindu Proud to be India Proud this proud that”.
Wonderful talk! You have so much passion for Hinduism and through that, I have gained a deeper understanding of these ancient teachings. Thank you so much for this knowledge, this is the true progress the world is yearning for.
Thanks for the video. Interesting explanation on religious pluralism. In Hinduism all revealed aspects of reality is true in itself, therefore it is called eternal truth santatan dharma.
Mr. Lakhani you are Awesome!!!
If you r hindu. If you r not going to read vedas and upnishads in your life at once then plz must atleast shri mad bhagvat gita once. Plz it is essential for a hindu to get a view lf our relegion. Even every person of this world need to read bhagvat gita without any ego and attitude
People who want to understand Hinduism. Should listen this person.
