Hinduism: Initiation Vs Conversion What is the Difference?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 січ 2020
- People who adopt Hindu practices are often branded as a convert. But conversion is a western term which has emerged from the Abrahamic faiths. Unlike these religions Hindu tradition does not have a doctrine which claims exclusivity of Truth, so there is no such thing as conversion. It does however have multiple pathways which lead to transcendence. Initiation is the formal commitment to one of these pathways. It is not about a Hindu avoiding damnation, or seeing their way as the only way to Truth, it is about choosing one methodology which allows them to go deep. This video highlights the key theological differences which define whether somebody is getting initiated or converted.
Hinduism has no concept of conversion. Its just certain practices that u should adopt. It not a damn religion. Its a lifestyle. Sanatn dharma. Greetings from Germany🇩🇪
Well said! Greetings from India

Hinduism says: Become a seeker, not a believer !
Seeker for soul and paramsoul. Right, pranam, and swagat

Hinduism sc st OBC are SHUDARS. ...but consitution says they are human's
@@sk....3049 According to Geeta, shudras are those people who have never tried to learn any skill in their lifetime. Such people who have no skill finally have to support their livelihood and food by working under Vaishyas, Kshatriyas, and Brahmins.
Even an uneducated boy who is born to a Brahmin family is a shudra. Brahmins, Kshatriyas and vaishya can be a shudra too.
Similarly, a shudra can also become a Brahmin. Eg: Valmiki.
Ignore st, sc , obc, these are not part of Hinduism.

@@sk....3049 dont spread hate... I am from so called Upper caste my wife is SC... My parents accepted that... its all about literacy 👍👍👍
@@sk....3049 Lol, Caste word itself has Portugese Origin!!!
@@sk....3049 in actual Vedant and upnishad , these "Caste system" has a totally different meaning. It's linked to consiousness of person . The person who only identify themself with body is shudras. So , as a human baby everyone is considered shudra.a person Caste cannot be decided until he or she is 11 year old atleast and then from then onward ,it keeps changing by the level of spirituality/truth seeking/moksha. Caste system is right because it distribute people into classes so they can better understand their spiritual seeking way.
Not the caste system our society has made up though.It's NOT decided by the birth of a person. It's very non-sensical and corrupted.
Hinduism is heavenly forever and never Hellish ever. Proud to be a Hindu.

There is no such thing as surrender in Hinduism - there is only seeking on a spiritual path!
Surrender to God when you truly love him or when you have faith on him.. bhkti (devotion)
@@RD-xw7cn That's one path, which appeared around in 14th century. But the ultimate goal of devotion is to realize that we're one with god. There is no concept of a separate god who is unreachable to humans like in Christianity or Islam. Those won't allow an individual to become one with god.
@@silverbullet3939 ok ..
@SD it's not surrender, it's to become a part of the greater self.
@SD sharan literally means 'refuge'.
It's totally different from surrendering.
One surrenders him/her self to someone who is stronger than him/her regardless of how good or bad that is.
And one takes refuge under someone stronger then him/her in order to feel safer.
point here is Emotions and way it is interpreted.

@Rafi Boss can you plz explain the word dharm
@Rafi Boss no you are wrong . Dharma is not about 'Hindu or not' things. Please read more.
@Rafi Boss mr dharma means duties Hindu is religion but Sanathan is not religion it's dharma Islam is religion Christianity is religion Santhan taught about time and space And dharma makes balance on it Sanathan is like ocean of knowledge u can't know properly the 1% of it
@Rafi Boss Dharm is the duty of all humans and organisms which aren't human. The Dharm of a dog, is to protect its master, the Dharm of a lion is to keep the lower strata of the food cycle balanced by the means of violence. Every living and non living being has dharma and is made with respect to a purpose. Your Islamic ideology has deluded you so much that you classify things and people either as Islamic or non Islamic. You need to read the Hindu religion deeply before questioning it.
@Rafi Boss Hinduism is not against any creature on earth
And it says that
Chapter 10, Verse 8
I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me. The wise who know this perfectly engage in My devotional service and worship Me with all their hearts.
It doesn't teaches you that to pray God it only says follow dharma means the correct path
World's coolest religion Hinduism
Or most logical and rational 😊
Christian call us devil worshipers
Muslim call us Kafir
Others as hypocrites
But one thing I say God is one just our way of praying is different 🙏 .

I am a former Christian who has adopted Sanata Dharma. It has freed me from the world of dogma and constant fear of going to Hell. I am thankful that I found the path.
I was born Indian Hindu & genuinely thought that Hell & Heaven exist in my religion till the age of 17. You can say how much our education system (leftist academia under leftist government) brainwashed the Indians
Ok. And what about eating onions and garlic? if you eat them aren't you fearing from countless reincarnations of low life?
@@hajarmatveeva i think you are talking about Jainisam, also it doesn't affect reincarnation. Your Karmas affect your reincarnation.

Sanatana Dharma is science and BEYOND it. Science comes under sanatana wings. Not the other way around
Hindu Dharma never force for convert. When someone learn Our puranas vedas he/she convert on its own decision. This is power of Hindu sanatan dharm.

Once you experience Hinduism you feel as if you was always a part of it that's the beauty of it, nothing feels foreign and unworthy.

Hinduisam is ‘Open Source’ to be exact! You all can contribute but ultimate purpose is realization within.
totally scientific -> Hinduism.
Well ancient indians did estimate the speed of light back in the day so you are not wrong.
i'll tell how : in a purana or vedas it says surya travels a distance of 2202 yojanas in 0.5 nimisha.
Hinduism respects each every creasure and gives equal status animals,trees,rivers,oceans,mountains,hills,of course from virus to dynousaurs,yes that hinduism.in all Hindu sees GOD.others darent put other gods beside their gods,but one and only Hindus gives equal reverence to other gods.dharma,dharma,dharma.jai bharat.

Being Hindu is my geography cal identity.whenbit comes to religen.its called sanatan vedic dharma
NO BOTH HINDU DHARMA AND SANTANA DHARMA ARE SAME.
HINDU IS ALSO CAN BE A GEOGRAPHICAL IDENTITY
Hindus are worshippers.. We worship everything in this universe..
That is because of the fact that Hindus believe that the entire universe had originated from God, who is the Supreme Entity, the Brahman. Whereas, the followers of the Abrahamic religions believe that the Universe. was created by God.
If that's the case,will you worship me then?

Initiation is Beyond your Body n Mind.. It impacts you on your Energy Body ... Its not just external , if the Guru who is initiating is an established one within himself , he takes the charge of his devotees' life and leads him to his True Nature
I am so proud that I am born in Sanatan Dharma😊
Hinduism is the bliss of God in earth. We see it with logic, compassion and experience.
Profoundly explained! Sanathana Dharma, Hinduism is the attainment of Consciousness. For thousands of years, across the globe through all cultures and religions- the many who attained enlightenment spoke of the same wisdom, Consciousness in different ways. When anyone meditates and attains the higher mind of wisdom she/he is a Hindu, the religion of the liberated.
In my Sampraday it's a bit different as being initiated (diksha) means you are a sant.
To be in the Sampraday, you must recieve Guru Mantra from our Acharaya. This mantra must be chanted along with the mala (prayer beads).
Edit : I wrote this before I finished the video. I did not know this topic was in the video aswell.

A basic Hindu prayer -
May all beings enjoy auspiciousness. May all beings enjoy wellbeing. May all beings enjoy
peace. May all beings enjoy wholeness. May all beings enjoy auspiciousness. May all beings
be happy. May all beings be free from maladies. May all beings achieve what is good for
them. May no being experience sorrow.All abrahmic religions only pray for their own selfishness and never care of humanity.

The great thing about Hinduism is that you dont have to go to temples, recite mantras, read religious books daily or periodically.
There is no prescription for Hindus. You do your calling. One can be irreligious and still be a Hindu.
Sanatana Dharma is a path of realization. You have complete freedom to decide your path.
Hindus are taught these things early in life. That openness and permission to seek also makes them vulnerable to planned conversion by proselytizing religions.
I used to think all gods are the same. Once I learned about the exclusivity of Christianity and Islam I closed my mind to those two religions.
I can believe 100 paths are ok to reach the lord. But I will not believe any path that claims to be only path.
Thanks for the enlightening narration about initiation in Sanatana Dharma(Hinduism).
