Today’s so called “Indian culture” is more like Victorian England. Even England has moved on but India is still stuck there, and repeated colonisations have made people forget true Indian culture based on the laws of Dharma, nature & truth.
Invasions my friend long long history of invaders ..one after the another .. they were not so open minded and collected. And our current situation is based on their indoctrination .
I may be wrong but I read somewhere that in book kamasutra they have mentioned at least 62 genders ( more like 3 genders and 62 different sexuality) I was amazed to learn that our ancestors were much open minded than we as modern world are
@@kuldeepjawale3335 I need to learn Sanskrit first if I want to read these scriptures. Can't trust translations they translated 'das' to slaves and implied that ancient India had slavery system which is completely wrong. Das is servent. So need to learn Sanskrit so that I could trust on my own
John Pratt this is the reason why Christians and muslims were ideologically too behind than any of eastern dharmic religions. You fought among yourself and blood thrust was common in your culture. This isn't what we were taught in our religion i.e. Violence and greed. Hence, we admire ancient india more than morden india. Colonization has ruined the core values of indian society but still today majority of us know where our root belongs and sooner or later we will reject western ideologies and go back to what ancient india standed for so long. 🙂
John Pratt atleast better than taking sleepin pills, various prescription medicines, drugs, alcohol or porn that your kind seems to be afflicted with. No thanks! God even if imaginary (though it is not)is much better than ruining your health with these addictive substances which drain the years from your life, the peace from your mind and the savings from your bank, idiotic ignorant athiestic commercialized fool of the highest order who thinks himself scientific and liberated without knowing the a,b of quantum physics which seem to agree with hinduism and considers himself liberated whilst having to rely on pills everyday just so his he can function enough to flip burgers at some unhealthy fast food joint of this doomed so called liberated scientific capitalistic modern world. You wanted to be smart, didn’t you? Look how i savaged you. Never argue with an indian mind
Abhishek Ray You don't believe this nonsense do you? Yes Hinduism is all about acceptance and we should treat everyone with respect despite what grown adults do in their beds. But all the so called examples here that apparently "blurred" the lines are all bullshit. In what world does danced together means had sex? Or means romantic love between the dancers? Narad was turned into a woman by God to give him an experience of what it's like to be a woman. No where is it said Narad dressed as a woman and married a man. Krishna took the mohini form and married Arjuna's son? Okay so after their marriage Krishna became Arjun's sons wife and lived happily ever after, is that what you're telling me? No obviously it means Krishna created a beautiful woman for Arjun's son to marry. And she is an avatar of Krishna just like Rama is an avatar of Vishnu but is not Vishnu himself in the physical sense, in the story.
It's a shame we all forgot what it means to be a human and accept everyone. None of us is any better. Everyone is a hypocrite. We all have some areas where we are just as bigoted as the people who are homophobic.
well, In my opinion, you wasted 3 min 47 secs that you'll never get back. congrats on missing the big picture, I hope there aren't more of you, coz if there are, the nation's doomed.
True my dear friend. The original Hinduism (''sanatana dharma") has space for each and every existing species. current hinduism in india is corrupted due invasion by the british,arabs etc. I am a Hindu too and proud to be one. you are most welcome to join the tribe.
Definitely it's a struggle not to eat meat. Do I fail often? Absolutely. Do I have an excuse? Hell no. I have plenty of alternative options to meat here. I just have to keep trying and pray for the discipline not to.
@@joyo1379 Brihannala was the name assumed by Arjun during his final year of exile. He was cursed by Urvashi to be a Eunuch. Not the same as Shikhandi who can alter genders at will
"there is nothing unnatural in nature . . . every way of being is a manifestation of the Divine" - how beautifully summarized, and how life-giving to hear and receive these words, after all the religious shaming and pathologizing of those who do not conform to gender binary, heterosexual norms. I am so grateful to the Indian tradition for preserving these teachings through stories, art, and culture!
In India subcontinent many cultures prevail, all have different ways of living, so different literature developed, but problem arises that's this was later converted to religion, the definition of real God got mixed up with the stories of the kings, peoples were made to believe they are all one. One of the greatest wrong done was labeling these kings as Vishnu Avatars, whoever's did it from where he got this information, God will never come and say that to mankind,. We mustn't link these stories with God.
@@businessmanbrute2211 true.. i have seen people saying nature has no homosexuality that is why its against nature and it is god's punishment. Lol.. Penguins for example have shown homosexuality and no they are not discriminated by other fellow penguins..
Our indian culture in india was greatly influenced by Christians and Islamic beliefs now most of the Hindus are so rigid they don't even know their roots they consider sex and desire as unnatural if we never got conquered by the British and the Arabs, our views today would be so drastically different any of you guys visited kajuraho temples our sexuality is something to be cherished for all you gay men out there ,gay also means joy never be ashamed of who you are go enjoy life , be yourself don't let anybody tell you otherwise
But that doesn't mean one should drawn to only physical needs.. remember in that Temple Parmatma also resides..as long as we have other material needs..will never get to know the Parmatma...This is what Khajuraho temple is telling us...Jai Shree Raam🙏🙏🙏
But after mughal , british and other invasions and their close minded religious practices got involved in our beautiful ancient Indian culture😭😭. As you can see today in most of the islamic countries homosexuality is a sin and it has death penalty!!!
urbanyogi nope lord ayyapan was indeed the son of lord vishnu and lord shiva .............. but lord vishnu was in mohini form ............. he was created to kill a very specific demon who was blessed to be able to be killed by a son from 'hari' and 'har' .
+urbanyogi LOL! No way. Ayya means Vishnu. Appa means Shiva/Father. Ayyappa is a deity born from the semen of Shiva when he was aroused by Mohini. He isn't an incarnation of Vishnu. He's an Incarnation of Lord Dharma Shastha. He is the maintainer of Justice according to Hinduism, like the one who maintains the eternal balance between good and Bad. The 9th incarnation of Vishnu was probably Buddha or Krishna according to varying sources. All we know is that they both were against the Vedic principles of sacrifice.
I am bisexual and am recently beginning to learn that I am transgender also. I was raised christian but have always been interested in and respectful towards Indian religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism. These days I am no longer a christian and my spirituality is much more towards Hinduism and Buddhism. This video made me cry. In Western society, including in my own experience of religion, I have often felt a divide between my sexuality/gender identity and religion and spirituality. That a religious tradition I admire so much and find such wisdom in (Hinduism) should be so accepting of parts of me that religion so often fails to understand or accept - I found this beautiful acceptance very overwhelming and it made me cry tears of joy
Femandrogyne Kim India is very homophobic. Regardless of where that came from, it's there in spades. Hinduism has not stopped the violence or hate toward gays. In many cases, it, like "fundamentalism" worldwide, has used hate, fear, and loathing to it's own advantage.
I am recently beginning to learn that I am a dragon. // this video is soo biased from one side of the spectrum and is obviously translating things to support their needs. Mother nature knows what to so when it comes to going against your biological purpose. She has, she is, and she will.
This is amazing, I am so glad finally people are talking about what the real Indian culture is all about, rather than pushing their pathetic conservative agenda under the banner of tradition and culture. Hats off to the makers of this video.
Indeed, it's about time. Even when you look at later manuals which incorporate details of our medieval history, such Vatsyayana's 12th century classic Kama Sutra, you see the plethora of human society outlined within its' pages, reflecting the type of civilization Indians had constructed for themselves. And in those writings, we see vatsyayana depict a very open-minded arena of human beings cohabitating a society comprised of LGBTQ inclusivity, acceptance of polygamy & polyandry, socially sanctioned (and taxed) legal sex workers, a biodiversity of culture differentiating in variety from region to region of the Indian subcontinent to the upper Middle East and extending towards East Asia, as well as a healthy and unrepressed view of accepting the totality within human sexuality. Lesbians were even given a very respectful title, "svairini", meaning "independent woman" (ie: a female who does NOT rely upon a man in her adulthood nor elderly years). We were an advanced civilization. And we were quite wealthy. And everything that we had in science, math, technology, ethics, architecture, etc. was usurped in sequence by first Middle Eastern barbarism, and then European deception. We were once the Commonwealth, although modern "historians" try to neglect that factor of our globe's collective history. We need to unify NOT with Europe, but with the rest of Asia. A plan for a pan-Asian model for our collective continental future growth should be well implemented in the psyche's of our conglomerate pan-Asiatic future generations. Sanskrit, Tamil, Mandarin, Japanese, etc, these are the multitude of languages spoken by people who know and follow the principles of dharma - core principles first spread throughout our continent originating from our Vedic Bharati tutelage.
@@किमजोंगउन-ल8ष yeah you're right two men can't .. at least not yet but two women can .. by converting the bone marrow cell into sperm maybe they'll find a way by which two men could make a baby ..
@@pratik2617 I literally laughed at your jokes , according to your logic all educated people who have gain knowledge from this video are gay , your comment shows you have no knowledge about LGBT community a and you does not even respect them . This video is not a dogshit but informative & video's aim was to tell us how Hinduism give respect to LGBT community & allows them to gain education from Vedas & puranas . In ancient times everyone was allowed to gain education from any source but now a days , people like you are leading the society who are making society worst.
Christian evangelists and Islamic scholars have taunted the Hindus for holding such views and calling us "Barbarians". Foreign Invasions and foreign rule have robbed India of wealth and such openness. This has led to many stories to be retold in modified forms (or dropping such instances completely) to make it acceptable and avoid criticism from others. This was done to such an extreme that most Hindus today will have no knowledge of these concepts (or stories) and might feel alien to their understanding of Hinduism. Great work from Epified!!! Keep it up!!
First, India was still wealthy under Mughals, no wealth was sent abroad Second, homosexuality is well documented in Islamic culture as well, same for alcohol and others. Third, Hindus had their own problems, including satee before invaders.
@@fironfiron8843 Mughals were not the only Islamic Invaders. There was Ghazni, Ghori, TImur, Khiliji, All these people looted India and took wealth back to Islamic Nations like Iran, Turkey and Central Asia.
@@fironfiron8843 and in addition sati is very recent problem in India that manifested after Central Asian invaders made rounds to India. And I dont think Ihave to explain why!
@@fironfiron8843 oh my its u who brought up muslim I said Invaders also was not his bride a child? Hinduism is decades and centuries older than Islam, FYI when it started there was no caste system, it crawled into the society as gaps. But atleast we acknowledge the problem and address it unlike others. Nothing is perfect. Instead of just stating random problems, go in depth and do research on a religion and its origins, including origins of societal problems. Also in your tiny brain i must have registered as a Hindu, but I am not!
@@melodicnostalgic3823 Give me evidence that wealth was brought back to Iran , Turkey and Central Asia. Timur and other did try to invade India but they failed. Dehli Sultanate didn't extend beyond South Asia. Muslim rulers of India were foreigners but they had no country to go back to. Their empire was mostly locals with local rulers. Babur himself lost all his territories in central Asia to other central Asians, he looked toward India and managed to conquer it and founded Mughal empire. You don't even know who Turks are . Most of them are acculturated locals. Turks in Turkey are culturally different from all other Turks. They are not even central Asian, they are mostly native Anatolian who were acculturated.
Homophobic behaviors come from European prudish colonizers who imposed their antiquated morality upon colonized societies. Westerners have moved on from those ideas while most traditional societies of the World have not hence Uganda, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia etc have not.
Hinduism is beautiful religion inside out but many people try to make it look bad. So great..😭Its so great that our ancestors were a peace loving peoples and accept everything and now everything is opposite
My younger brother today asked me about homophobia and lgbtq so I was explaining it to him but in the middle of it my mumma angrily interupted me and scolded me to talk to him like that. I feel very bad for my parents I was just tryna be a good older sister !
Better you teach him about it in a close room where your parents can't come , my parents are just the same so, whenever I talk to my sister about these topics I used to ask her that lets go to our room where I feel comfortable to talk about my crush to my sister and no one would disturb me , you must protect him from misconceptions about LGBTQ community , I was too quite confused about them few years ago & I solved all my misconceptions by talking to my elder sister May you become a good older sister🤗👍
@Omohs entertainment HAHA KEEP YOUR JESUS TO YOURSELF, ALSO YOU ALL SAY JESUS FORGIVES EVERYONE, THEN EVEN IF HE EXISTS, BY YOUR BELIEFS HE WILL FORGIVE US LOL
Biggest truth about India Anyone who don't have indian heart can't tell anything to u about India Anything which u hear about India is different from actual india.because indian thoughts are so diff form other part of world and india is country which uses symbolic language to talk that's why others can't understand true meaning of any indian thing
These stories aren't any substantial evidences to proof that homosexuality was viewed favourably by our ancestors. They weren't persecuted that is for sure . During the Mauryan era , if a woman defiled a younger girl , the punishment was cutting the thumb I believe, I don't remember actually.
LiGht YaGami what I honestly could give two fucks about religions. I really don't care about that. I just like Indian people as people. I don't want to have a debate about west killing animans bla bla bla or any shenanigan.
LiGht YaGami well all have our own religions which are different from each other and there are so many non vegetarians in india even I myself is a non vegetarian (the only religion in India is not Hinduism.)
Wait, modern day Indians are also concern of homosexuality now? Isn't this trend of "homosexuality is wrong" came from the American homophobia trend? I know there are homosexuals in India, the Buddha also talked about it, so why is it a big deal now? I thought Indians sorted this out thousands & thousands of years ago. I even use Ancient India as a case to baffle the American homophobes for entertainment, they have a hard time understanding the soul is not the body.
KubernetePirata I don't think it's America. I feel like during Imperialism, British ideas managed to spread and still corrupt India. Britain in the past was much less tolerant than Britain in the present.
Life in Ancient india was of highest quality , we had everything that made people jealous and covetous towards us. True meaning of Equality was once practiced here . Repetitive invasions, extortion and distortion have phased us alot but nonetheless we have survived as a civilization , once detached from our roots we're rejuvenating ourselves ... Relearn history undistorted , pure and authentic and then you'll know the true glory , pain and endurance of THIS GREAT LAND BHARAT ...
2 likes and 2 dislikes. Indians were glorious and had their golden era when 'taboo' wasn't a term, rather it was a different idea/way of life. Yet, I see the religions as well religious nut jobs keep on upholding India's glorious past but won't budge an inch in their rigidness or open their minds even to the ideas which weren't a taboo in our past. We are the ones who degraded ourselves. We are the ones to blame only. Homosexuality was never unnatural then, but we made it something as a curse. How did our societal values fall with time ?
+Tera Baap Natural physical attraction between a male and a male or a female and a female can be classified as love too. As long as it is consensual, it is fine. For anyone who equates bestiality with homosexuality above, note that the animal won't agree to physical relationships with a human. That's when it becomes "wrong". Homosexuals don't force heterosexuals to have sex with them. As for love not being related to sex in any way, +Tera Baap... How about we ban sex for heterosexuals too? Since love between them shouldn't feel the need to be consummated?
Tera Baap As far as bestiality, I see your argument that, since we eat animals, sex should be ok. This is a logical failure because we outlaw torture of animals, even in how they are killed for food (we can argue about feedlots later, ok?). We do not allow people to skin cats alive, or light dogs on fire for fun, or starve horses to death. Rape (sex without consent) is a form of torture. Bestiality is viewed by the law as sex without consent, therefore akin to rape and to torture. Ask your local cops if it is OK to slowly skin a chicken, cut off one leg, then the other, remove the beak, all the while it is alive, so long as you intend to eat it. The answer is no. Also, there are laws to prevent torture against animals. Legal standards. The fact that many slaughterhouses don't follow them is hard to stop for the government due to the sheer numbers and area that slaughterhouses function in.
Tera Baap Well, first off, I'm a vegetarian. I wasn't supporting killing animals in my above statement. -_- I was pointing out why I felt bestiality is wrong on certain levels. My opinion. Whatever you said above is your opinion. And your last sentence itself speaks in support of homosexuality. Just add "love" in there and it's done. No one in this world is fucking anybody to tell who they should love. (In your choice of context, have sex with.) Whatever. It's a largely liberal world. I support equality for homosexuals, not bestiality and that's my choice and part of my belief system. Just like how ignorant homophobics choose to be homophobics. Lastly, I dunno which animals have chosen you as their spokesperson that you're confirming for them that they don't feel pain in sex with humans or that they want or don't want to have sex with humans or when they're humping against women or men they're actually expressing sexual desire or something else. You keep asking me "how do you know?" Well, you should answer it too. And oh, guess what? I actively support animal rights groups... Which is why I'm against bestiality. But I support homosexuality because I unlike you, I can't speak for animals or understand them (going by the way you present your points, it surely looks like you can talk to them; so I'll believe you. *sarcasm*). But, I understand humans and thus I can speak for their rights to love or have sex with another human regardless of their genders.
It’s not about India it’s about hindu religion. And as it said hindu religion is most peaceful spritual and respected one .i am proud to be as hindu and buddhist
@Tempo rary part of India in the sense of Indian subcontinent, South Asia, not Republic of India to which you belong and which was created by the British.
@Tempo rary today India means only Republic of India. Many things of Hindu culture (like Vedas, Ramayana, Mahabharat) come from Nepal actually. Nepal is also called Bharatvarsha, but it is not that Bharatvarsha which was created by the British in 1947 and is now ruled by Modi.
bharat mahajan no, the ideology of Sanatana dharma is to serve the lotus feet of Krishna and go back to godhead, this is why I hate u Hindus u people are so confused
Arya Stark see friend 1.sati is not existing in present day India. 2.Hindu scriptures doesn't makes sati a essential duty 3.our ladies did sati in past to save their honour .They don't wanted to be sex slaves of Muslims. So plz change ur mind
Arya Stark the concept of homosexuality like described in the video signifies that every human idea which had a positive impact was propagated and appreciated. Later people skewed it with regressive ideas and forced it as the only way of life.
You may ask someone, "Why are you gay?" and that someone may reply, "Why are you a man or a woman?" In the material world, we are all trying to enjoy in so many ways, and that may be one answer. Spiritually, however, we all have our own individual, intrinsic nature, and part of that transcendent and non material nature is that we all serve God (Krsna) in the mood of a particular gender.
You are welcome to join Hinduism (Sanatana Dharma/Eternal Ethics). Doesn't matter if you're homosexual or even an atheist. Whatever you believe in, may it be other gods that are Greek or whatever, all that matters is how good you are to one another and how much you positively impact the world. There's no changing the world to your liking and justifying your hate with God, just having good dharma (ethics) and spreading happiness. And yes, we may have our stories describing the world but we are also based on science and reasoning. Nevertheless, these stories are interesting! Unfortunately, India has forgotten and lost their way. Hopefully, they can open their minds back once again and be as prosperous as they once were. I'd be happy to answer any questions about Hinduism too. I'm not an expert, but I can definitely give some helpful information.
"The problem having an open mind is that the others will keep putting their thoughts in it." What you have explained is beautiful, and perhaps very close to the actual truth about hindu perceptions. In my viewpoint, this is exactly why hindu religion (more like sanatan dharma) is existing even now...after thousands of years. There is no other perception in the form of religion that brings out such diversity and promotes to have an open mind. Thanks so much for uploading this!
@@davidb8831 lol again with your gods are demons 😂 nothing substantial to actually talk about, and no empires don't fall because homosexuality is accepted, but empires fall because people like you are allowed to run Scott free
This is absolutely beautiful! We all deserve to be accepted in the society as long as we intend no harm to one another. Kudos to the creators of this epic video :)
"We should not think of a person, especially a devotee, as a homosexual. We should not say, “So-and-so dasa is a homosexual.” *He is actually a person, a spirit soul.* No one is an alcoholic or a psychotic or any other such designation. The conditioned soul may have certain tendencies, including a tendency for homosexuality, but by constitutional nature we are all eternal servants of the Lord, pure and blissful."
I am Muslim but I don't like this religion bcuz it not allows womans to be free or also many uneducated rules that I didn't follow but I also don't like any of the religion. But now I think Hinduism is kinda educated religion 🤔
Haha not forcing you to join ir anything but if your planning on joining research gwaps before you make you desition.... at the end of the day ull find most of them are similar.... ive heat that iver the years hindiusm has some concepts changed but islam is still or remains the same nit sure but ull be surprised to findn similarities
It's your life so you decide which religion is best for you. In the previous comments they've already described Hinduism beautifully. Or you can choose to be an athiest. Though athiesm is a part of Hinduism. Or you can follow the left hand path & be a Satanist. It is actually an atheistic religion & philosophy. Satan is just a metaphorical construct that symbolises certain ideals. It means freedom. It is about embracing your individuality & treating others with the respect they deserve. I would suggest you to keep open mind & read books on different religions. If you want to know about Satanism read The Satanic Bible by Anton Szandor Lavey. The Satanic Narratives: Mordern Satanic Bible by Damien Ba'al (highly recommended). Satanic Feminism by Per Faxneld. If you want to know about Carvaka philosophy read: Carvaka/Lokyata by Debiprasad Chattopadhyaya For Hinduism there is no definite books cause it is vast like an ocean & there are no definite rules here. But still for basic knowledge you can read for starters The Hindu Mind by Bansi Pandit A Primer to Hinduism by DS Sharma. You can read books by Swami Vivekananda, Bhagvad Gita, Mahabharata, Shiv Mahapurana (my personal favorite) etc. Then you should decide what you want. Happy reading.
Islam is a recent phenomina. The truth is before america and ww2 muslims. Were very cultured and very open to new education. Even morraco before the 1950s had women teaching mathematics and intellectual concepts of architecture. That all went away when they needed to defend themselves from the west. I am jewish and I dont hate muslims are jews. We are brothers. Its governments that divide and conquer not people themselves. They do not speak for me.
By omitting details, you may inadvertently mislead people. The use of the words "sacrificed for war" in your video leads viewer to think aravan was killed / "sacrificed' outside of war.
If studied carefully and ignored the image created by media, India has been pretty wise and still is. We are to be blamed for inferiority complex and making fun of ourselves all the time.
Wow!! nice video you know I have recently heard one more story of Ganesha changing into women called "vinayeki" to meet his mother. Mata Parvati told every male has female in them they should accept it and adhere to it . Even the temple in south India shows love between men,women. Please India become bharat that we was before.
I believe Devdatta patnaik need to learn alot about sanatan hindu dharma. Our inferences are wrong as long we consider them as "myth". Hindu dharma is based on science like any other religion in the world except its valid in all period of time. It never got obsolete with time and always yield a new meaning based on our reasoning.
Well conceived and well produced! Concord and a reasonable approach to differences, is the note of sophistication that this video has in abundance! Thanks for posting, I so enjoyed it!
Anybody who thinks homosexuality is a Western tradition need to look back at history. Homosexuality was widely accepted in ancient Greece and ancient India, bisexuality was the norm in ancient Rome and medieval Japan, and transgender Native Americans were considered two spirits.
Thank you for all you do and have done. Thank you, w/ overwhelming and flowing of love and light to you and all. From, she came to me as Kakini, and I, thank you. I hope you get this even know the video is old.
I am for Decriminalisation...but this famous Devdutt Patnaik is a person with half knowledge in Indian literature, and half knowledge is very dangerous. The way he interprets a thing is faulty and he himself praises him to be a great commentery writer of our scriptures. This is clearly seen in his books. Scholars and Indic researchers like Rajiv malhotra have clearly spoken this sad truth. And i don't know how these instances that you depict in this video represents homosexuality? Watch out for Devdutt's misinterpretations
The Mahabharata is a must read for all who are interested in the scope of India's roots Very exciting reading too with the amazing Bhagavad Gita as the very root of the tree. On namo narayana. Namaste.
India is a melting pot of all the world views and school of thoughts....Proud to be an indian...Hope india gets rid of rss hindutva as soon as possible and embrace it's true roots
shuzan shubham I m straight and I think it's really wrong to call some one abnormal because they are gay. and if from next time someone says you abnormal give them a hard slap and show this video to them.
Todays people dont follow pure form of Hinduism... once lord shiva disguised as a woman tried to make love with lord krishna...Lord Shiva has knows to exist in many forms....hes depicted as a Straight man married to parvati, a transgender, a bisexual, a gay man....what our ancestors used to follow was TRUE AND PURE Hinduism....and if you read vedas and upanishads and scriptures from the time of indus valley civilisation, you will know it wasnt a "unnatural" thing in that era...it was ok to be homosexual...people lived in harmony...ancient indias had A LOT of wisdom and compassion towards people and creatures of earth...discoveries like sandals......even the sitar (some foreigners call it indian guitar) were used by gods and are described in holy books, perfumes were also used by ancient indians and gods....shampoo was discovered here...aryabhatt calculated precise distance between sun and earth and moon and earth and from other planets thousands kf years ago....we have jantar mantar in Delhi, jaipur which have buildings which are arranged in some unique pattern and unique structure arranged with help of ancient indian cosmic theory which tell us 100 percent Precise time. They were used by kings and queen and ancient indians....oldest surgery happened in ancient india....plastic surgery, reformation of blunt noseand other such surgeries were done by ancient indian surgeon Charak....orthopedic surgery done by ancient indian doctor Shushruta.....preserving food, sugar was first extracted in india But sadly Modern day indians are no longer that wise....majority of people consider Homosexuality as an "against the nature" clause...the youth of India has different views about Homosexuality...majority of them respect them and are ready to accept them....lets just wait for time to pass...i believe that someday India will be free from Homophobia...and i have a strong feeling that with the help of todays youth...things will get much easier and friendly as they are educated. Ps: im not gay im straight but looking at all this breaks my heart....human hurting other human...i want this to be over
Cuz this is not true....all these stories are distorted....I have heard these stories first hand from my father......my great grandfather was a yogi and a seeker, in his quest he ammased a large no of rare and authentic books.....even a unbound handwritten geeta.....but all that collection has been eaten by decay of time and ignorance of my kin.....but it has left an overwhleming amount of tales which are so rare to find.....and I find the modern interpretors like devdutt in complete contrast.....If i have to choose i would choose my ansectral knowldege anyday as it has no discoherence whatsoever with all of vedas and upnishads......I remember when i was told by my muslim friend that one of the text in rigveda calls for killing of cows.....and i was taken aback that it mentioned "hanyate gavyam" (loosely tranlated as kill the cows) but when i talked about this in my home i was told that han (हन्) also means to "move" and i had to look no further than ramcharitmanas sundar kand ( mushtika ek maha kapi hani) here "han" meaning cannot be to kill cuz here goswami ji is telling how Hanuman drove a powerful fist 👊.....and when i looked for the answer online I saw hours of explanation about the same fact through other source......but I didnot had to scour ancient sanskrit for this cuz Tulsidas has already used meaning oh "Han" in the sense it was meant in Rigveda......so you see how not knowing has caused you to change your mind so easily......sorry for the long answer......peace out
Shiva dancing with Krishna as a woman has nothing to do with sex infact if you know the story you'll know that the theme of this story was meditation not sex. Krishna himself didn't marry Arjun's son. He took the form of a real woman and married him. Dressing up as a woman and becoming a woman are different, and the difference is clearly mentioned in the Mahabharat. If Krishna did marry Arjun's son then are you telling me that Krishna was, from that day onwards the wife of Arjun's son? No he was planning the Mahabharat war. The claims are ridiculous! I don't think sexuality or sex were the highest themes in any of these stories.
The Mythology stories put in references are true as its old and not someone's imagination ...I can assure that as I heard them while grewing up by my parents and elders... I guess I was brought up with an open mind only for that and being from a Brahmin family this mythological stories were always a part of my life... and I never heard about this guy whom u r claiming as fraud

i have been hearing these stories from childhood .for eg shikhandi was my favirite .. and never thought homosexuality was never normal or was never there .. after growing up and aftrer watching western cinema and content i came to know that homosexuality is taboo there .
Sister this is not true....all these stories are distorted....I have heard these stories first hand from my father......my great grandfather was a yogi and a seeker, in his quest he ammased a large no of rare and authentic books.....even a unbound handwritten geeta.....but all that collection has been eaten by decay of time and ignorance of my kin.....but it has left an overwhleming amount of tales which are so rare to find.....and I find the modern interpretors like devdutt in complete contrast.....If i have to choose i would choose my ansectral knowldege anyday as it has no discoherence whatsoever with all of vedas and upnishads......I remember when i was told by my muslim friend that one of the text in rigveda calls for killing of cows.....and i was taken aback that it mentioned "hanyate gavyam" (loosely tranlated as kill the cows) but when i talked about this in my home i was told that han (हन्) also means to "move" and i had to look no further than ramcharitmanas sundar kand ( mushtika ek maha kapi hani) here "han" meaning cannot be to kill cuz here goswami ji is telling how Hanuman drove a powerful fist 👊.....and when i looked for the answer online I saw hours of explanation about the same fact through other source......but I didnot had to scour ancient sanskrit for this cuz Tulsidas has already used meaning oh "Han" in the sense it was meant in Rigveda......so you see how not knowing has caused you to change your mind so easily......sorry for the long answer......peace out
I find a lot of Indians complaining about the current scenarios and the mentality of people prevailing in India today about various things which are considered as "taboo". There no denial of the fact that there are many people who behave like uneducated literate, who want to hang upon the vices of the community and these are the people who are quite vocal about them. And that's why people assume their thoughts represent India/ Hinduism. But the that's not true! Problem is not that there are no good and educated people in India, problem is most of the such people choose to remain silent. We can restore the glory of Hinduism if we choose not to close our eyes and bend in front of the conservative shit, who try to draw boundaries in this ancient way of living of India! And at the same time we need to erase quite a few too! Hinduism is not mere a religion ( as per the definition of Oxford), a mere code of conduct, it is Sanatan Dharma. And Dharma had got a very simple definition...something which holds together, which sustains the realities which are inherent in this universe. And that's why these are not taboo!!
The 4 major Dharmic traditions (Sanatana Dharma/ Hinduism, Buddhism,Sikhism and Jainism) have a beautiful and very broad views in all aspects of cosmic, earthly and human diversity, including sexual Diversity. Ancient Hinduism like Buddhism have gotten these aspects right as proven but science. The Abrahamic religions (Christianity,, Islam and Judaism) on the other hand look increasingly fairytale like with their religious claims and rigid belief systems. I’m so glad I discovered Hinduism and left Christianity.
People who are interested in Hinduism and wants to read about Hindu scriptures... Please don't read devdutt pattanaik or any modern writer who himself/herself is not a Yogi. Try to learn sanskrit,read them in sanskrit, even speaking slokas beneficial to us and atmosphere around us. Hari ohm..

Yes Hinduism is all about acceptance and we should treat everyone with respect despite what grown adults do in their beds. But all the so called examples here that apparently "blurred" the lines are all bullshit.
In what world does danced together means had sex? Or means romantic love between the dancers?
Narad was turned into a woman by God to give him an experience of what it's like to be a woman. No where is it said Narad dressed as a woman and married a man.
Krishna took the mohini form and married Arjuna's son? Okay so after their marriage Krishna became Arjun's sons wife and lived happily ever after, is that what you're telling me? No obviously it means Krishna created a beautiful woman for Arjun's son to marry. And she is an avatar of Krishna just like Rama is an avatar of Vishnu but is not Vishnu himself in the physical sense, in the story.
It's a shame we all forgot what it means to be a human and accept everyone. None of us is any better. Everyone is a hypocrite. We all have some areas where we are just as bigoted as the people who are homophobic.

"there is nothing unnatural in nature . . . every way of being is a manifestation of the Divine" - how beautifully summarized, and how life-giving to hear and receive these words, after all the religious shaming and pathologizing of those who do not conform to gender binary, heterosexual norms.

Spread this to the western world and aware them that hinduism and ancient india (before islamic and abrahamics invaded) was most modern thinkers
In India subcontinent many cultures prevail, all have different ways of living, so different literature developed, but problem arises that's this was later converted to religion, the definition of real God got mixed up with the stories of the kings, peoples were made to believe they are all one.
One of the greatest wrong done was labeling these kings as Vishnu Avatars, whoever's did it from where he got this information, God will never come and say that to mankind,.

urbanyogi nope lord ayyapan was indeed the son of lord vishnu and lord shiva .............. but lord vishnu was in mohini form ............. he was created to kill a very specific demon who was blessed to be able to be killed by a son from 'hari' and 'har' .
+urbanyogi LOL! No way. Ayya means Vishnu. Appa means Shiva/Father. Ayyappa is a deity born from the semen of Shiva when he was aroused by Mohini. He isn't an incarnation of Vishnu. He's an Incarnation of Lord Dharma Shastha. He is the maintainer of Justice according to Hinduism, like the one who maintains the eternal balance between good and Bad. The 9th incarnation of Vishnu was probably Buddha or Krishna according to varying sources. All we know is that they both were against the Vedic principles of sacrifice.
urbanyogi no ayyapa is called dharma shastra or harihara putra which is a son to both lord hari ( narayan ) & Hara ( mahadev )
What ever he was born because of the chemistry between shiva and vishnu. Cool ☺️

These days I am no longer a christian and my spirituality is much more towards Hinduism and Buddhism.
This video made me cry. In Western society, including in my own experience of religion, I have often felt a divide between my sexuality/gender identity and religion and spirituality. That a religious tradition I admire so much and find such wisdom in (Hinduism) should be so accepting of parts of me that religion so often fails to understand or accept - I found this beautiful acceptance very overwhelming and it made me cry tears of joy

Femandrogyne Kim India is very homophobic. Regardless of where that came from, it's there in spades. Hinduism has not stopped the violence or hate toward gays. In many cases, it, like "fundamentalism" worldwide, has used hate, fear, and loathing to it's own advantage.

Indeed, it's about time. Even when you look at later manuals which incorporate details of our medieval history, such Vatsyayana's 12th century classic Kama Sutra, you see the plethora of human society outlined within its' pages, reflecting the type of civilization Indians had constructed for themselves. And in those writings, we see vatsyayana depict a very open-minded arena of human beings cohabitating a society comprised of LGBTQ inclusivity, acceptance of polygamy & polyandry, socially sanctioned (and taxed) legal sex workers, a biodiversity of culture differentiating in variety from region to region of the Indian subcontinent to the upper Middle East and extending towards East Asia, as well as a healthy and unrepressed view of accepting the totality within human sexuality. Lesbians were even given a very respectful title, "svairini", meaning "independent woman" (ie: a female who does NOT rely upon a man in her adulthood nor elderly years). We were an advanced civilization. And we were quite wealthy. And everything that we had in science, math, technology, ethics, architecture, etc. was usurped in sequence by first Middle Eastern barbarism, and then European deception. We were once the Commonwealth, although modern "historians" try to neglect that factor of our globe's collective history. We need to unify NOT with Europe, but with the rest of Asia. A plan for a pan-Asian model for our collective continental future growth should be well implemented in the psyche's of our conglomerate pan-Asiatic future generations. Sanskrit, Tamil, Mandarin, Japanese, etc, these are the multitude of languages spoken by people who know and follow the principles of dharma - core principles first spread throughout our continent originating from our Vedic Bharati tutelage.

Christian evangelists and Islamic scholars have taunted the Hindus for holding such views and calling us "Barbarians". Foreign Invasions and foreign rule have robbed India of wealth and such openness. This has led to many stories to be retold in modified forms (or dropping such instances completely) to make it acceptable and avoid criticism from others. This was done to such an extreme that most Hindus today will have no knowledge of these concepts (or stories) and might feel alien to their understanding of Hinduism.
Great work from Epified!!! Keep it up!!

Give me evidence that wealth was brought back to Iran , Turkey and Central Asia.
Timur and other did try to invade India but they failed.
Dehli Sultanate didn't extend beyond South Asia.
Muslim rulers of India were foreigners but they had no country to go back to. Their empire was mostly locals with local rulers.
Babur himself lost all his territories in central Asia to other central Asians, he looked toward India and managed to conquer it and founded Mughal empire.
You don't even know who Turks are . Most of them are acculturated locals. Turks in Turkey are culturally different from all other Turks. They are not even central Asian, they are mostly native Anatolian who were acculturated.
Homophobic behaviors come from European prudish colonizers who imposed their antiquated morality upon colonized societies. Westerners have moved on from those ideas while most traditional societies of the World have not hence Uganda, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia etc have not.

Wait, modern day Indians are also concern of homosexuality now? Isn't this trend of "homosexuality is wrong" came from the American homophobia trend?

2 likes and 2 dislikes.
Indians were glorious and had their golden era when 'taboo' wasn't a term, rather it was a different idea/way of life. Yet, I see the religions as well religious nut jobs keep on upholding India's glorious past but won't budge an inch in their rigidness or open their minds even to the ideas which weren't a taboo in our past. We are the ones who degraded ourselves. We are the ones to blame only.
Homosexuality was never unnatural then, but we made it something as a curse. How did our societal values fall with time ?
Nishit Raj Absolutely true!!!
Tera Baap You're equating two people of the same gender in love with beastility? You'd fit right in with America's hate-groups.
+Tera Baap Natural physical attraction between a male and a male or a female and a female can be classified as love too. As long as it is consensual, it is fine. For anyone who equates bestiality with homosexuality above, note that the animal won't agree to physical relationships with a human. That's when it becomes "wrong". Homosexuals don't force heterosexuals to have sex with them.
As for love not being related to sex in any way, +Tera Baap... How about we ban sex for heterosexuals too? Since love between them shouldn't feel the need to be consummated?
Tera Baap As far as bestiality, I see your argument that, since we eat animals, sex should be ok. This is a logical failure because we outlaw torture of animals, even in how they are killed for food (we can argue about feedlots later, ok?). We do not allow people to skin cats alive, or light dogs on fire for fun, or starve horses to death. Rape (sex without consent) is a form of torture. Bestiality is viewed by the law as sex without consent, therefore akin to rape and to torture.
Ask your local cops if it is OK to slowly skin a chicken, cut off one leg, then the other, remove the beak, all the while it is alive, so long as you intend to eat it. The answer is no.
Also, there are laws to prevent torture against animals. Legal standards. The fact that many slaughterhouses don't follow them is hard to stop for the government due to the sheer numbers and area that slaughterhouses function in.
Tera Baap Well, first off, I'm a vegetarian. I wasn't supporting killing animals in my above statement. -_- I was pointing out why I felt bestiality is wrong on certain levels. My opinion. Whatever you said above is your opinion.
And your last sentence itself speaks in support of homosexuality. Just add "love" in there and it's done.
No one in this world is fucking anybody to tell who they should love. (In your choice of context, have sex with.) Whatever. It's a largely liberal world.
I support equality for homosexuals, not bestiality and that's my choice and part of my belief system. Just like how ignorant homophobics choose to be homophobics.
Lastly, I dunno which animals have chosen you as their spokesperson that you're confirming for them that they don't feel pain in sex with humans or that they want or don't want to have sex with humans or when they're humping against women or men they're actually expressing sexual desire or something else. You keep asking me "how do you know?"
Well, you should answer it too.
And oh, guess what? I actively support animal rights groups... Which is why I'm against bestiality.
But I support homosexuality because I unlike you, I can't speak for animals or understand them (going by the way you present your points, it surely looks like you can talk to them; so I'll believe you. *sarcasm*). But, I understand humans and thus I can speak for their rights to love or have sex with another human regardless of their genders.
That line " There is nothing unnatural in this world"🤗🤗

Arya Stark the concept of homosexuality like described in the video signifies that every human idea which had a positive impact was propagated and appreciated.
Later people skewed it with regressive ideas and forced it as the only way of life.
The philosophers of ancient times never ceases to amaze me with intricate ideas and beliefs.
You may ask someone, "Why are you gay?" and that someone may reply, "Why are you a man or a woman?" In the material world, we are all trying to enjoy in so many ways, and that may be one answer. Spiritually, however, we all have our own individual, intrinsic nature, and part of that transcendent and non material nature is that we all serve God (Krsna) in the mood of a particular gender.
You are welcome to join Hinduism (Sanatana Dharma/Eternal Ethics). Doesn't matter if you're homosexual or even an atheist. Whatever you believe in, may it be other gods that are Greek or whatever, all that matters is how good you are to one another and how much you positively impact the world. There's no changing the world to your liking and justifying your hate with God, just having good dharma (ethics) and spreading happiness. And yes, we may have our stories describing the world but we are also based on science and reasoning. Nevertheless, these stories are interesting!
Unfortunately, India has forgotten and lost their way. Hopefully, they can open their minds back once again and be as prosperous as they once were. I'd be happy to answer any questions about Hinduism too. I'm not an expert, but I can definitely give some helpful information.
Please i have many😁
We will once again be prosperous and happy when we will reconnect to our Sanatan culture😊😊!! Peace ✌💜💜
"The problem having an open mind is that the others will keep putting their thoughts in it." What you have explained is beautiful, and perhaps very close to the actual truth about hindu perceptions. In my viewpoint, this is exactly why hindu religion (more like sanatan dharma) is existing even now...after thousands of years. There is no other perception in the form of religion that brings out such diversity and promotes to have an open mind. Thanks so much for uploading this!
All Indians should see this so this tabo about homosexuals being bad is cleared
It's so sad that most of the people here in India has misplaced the values we had in our past...
Sonu sidsonu lack of values in the past. An empire fell when people were telling these stories. Oh well your gods are demons.
@@davidb8831 lol again with your gods are demons 😂 nothing substantial to actually talk about, and no empires don't fall because homosexuality is accepted, but empires fall because people like you are allowed to run Scott free
This is absolutely beautiful! We all deserve to be accepted in the society as long as we intend no harm to one another. Kudos to the creators of this epic video :)
"We should not think of a person, especially a devotee, as a homosexual. We should not say, “So-and-so dasa is a homosexual.” *He is actually a person, a spirit soul.* No one is an alcoholic or a psychotic or any other such designation. The conditioned soul may have certain tendencies, including a tendency for homosexuality, but by constitutional nature we are all eternal servants of the Lord, pure and blissful."
I am Muslim but I don't like this religion bcuz it not allows womans to be free or also many uneducated rules that I didn't follow but I also don't like any of the religion.
But now I think Hinduism is kinda educated religion 🤔
Haha not forcing you to join ir anything but if your planning on joining research gwaps before you make you desition.... at the end of the day ull find most of them are similar.... ive heat that iver the years hindiusm has some concepts changed but islam is still or remains the same nit sure but ull be surprised to findn similarities
STX Gamer Hinduism is a way better religion than any other religion in this world. Hinduism is not just a religion, it's a culture and a way of life.
It's your life so you decide which religion is best for you. In the previous comments they've already described Hinduism beautifully. Or you can choose to be an athiest. Though athiesm is a part of Hinduism.
Or you can follow the left hand path & be a Satanist.
It is actually an atheistic religion & philosophy. Satan is just a metaphorical construct that symbolises certain ideals.
It means freedom. It is about embracing your individuality & treating others with the respect they deserve.
I would suggest you to keep open mind & read books on different religions.
If you want to know about Satanism read The Satanic Bible by Anton Szandor Lavey.
The Satanic Narratives: Mordern Satanic Bible by Damien Ba'al (highly recommended).
Satanic Feminism by Per Faxneld.
If you want to know about Carvaka philosophy read:
Carvaka/Lokyata by Debiprasad Chattopadhyaya
For Hinduism there is no definite books cause it is vast like an ocean & there are no definite rules here.
But still for basic knowledge you can read for starters
The Hindu Mind by Bansi Pandit
A Primer to Hinduism by DS Sharma.
You can read books by Swami Vivekananda, Bhagvad Gita, Mahabharata, Shiv Mahapurana (my personal favorite) etc.
Then you should decide what you want.
Happy reading.
Haha does your religion allows women to be free
Islam is a recent phenomina. The truth is before america and ww2 muslims. Were very cultured and very open to new education. Even morraco before the 1950s had women teaching mathematics and intellectual concepts of architecture. That all went away when they needed to defend themselves from the west.
I am jewish and I dont hate muslims are jews. We are brothers. Its governments that divide and conquer not people themselves. They do not speak for me.
Wow...so amazing.... if only the whole world could adopt this way of thinking. This is very comforting. Thanks a lot.
"Nothing is unnatural in nature and every way of being is a manifestation of the divine." Interesting.
By omitting details, you may inadvertently mislead people. The use of the words "sacrificed for war" in your video leads viewer to think aravan was killed / "sacrificed' outside of war.
Amazing video. I hope you guys will continue the Mahabharata series
If studied carefully and ignored the image created by media, India has been pretty wise and still is.
We are to be blamed for inferiority complex and making fun of ourselves all the time.
Thank you beautiful presentation on the topic
Out of all the cultures, Hinduism should be one of the most accepting one.
Wow!! nice video you know I have recently heard one more story of Ganesha changing into women called "vinayeki" to meet his mother. Mata Parvati told every male has female in them they should accept it and adhere to it . Even the temple in south India shows love between men,women.
Please India become bharat that we was before.
Take a shower in the river of dead bodies and floating shit.
@@0Cindrum0 by judging by your words and attitude apparantly you need it most .. 😂😂
I believe Devdatta patnaik need to learn alot about sanatan hindu dharma. Our inferences are wrong as long we consider them as "myth". Hindu dharma is based on science like any other religion in the world except its valid in all period of time. It never got obsolete with time and always yield a new meaning based on our reasoning.
Devdutt Patnaik is a pseudo spiritualist sent by the west just to befriend us and manipulate in their way..
I love Indians they get it right 🙏🏻thank you 🥰
This is why I wanna start going to temple
Lesbian aren't allowed there
@@pratik2617 i am not a lesbian
@@pratik2617 no one asks u if u r gay at the entrance
Lord krishna is a bisexual . He teaches us that every soul has no gender only body has gender 🕉❤🏳️🌈👬❤👭❤🏳️🌈❤🕉 amen
Yes I love our bisexual king
Well conceived and well produced! Concord and a reasonable approach to differences, is the note of sophistication that this video has in abundance! Thanks for posting, I so enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing these stories.
I really feel so bad that, this video was uploaded 5 years ago but still ppl deny it and haven't accepted yet
There was a transgender God called Aravana
Anybody who thinks homosexuality is a Western tradition need to look back at history. Homosexuality was widely accepted in ancient Greece and ancient India, bisexuality was the norm in ancient Rome and medieval Japan, and transgender Native Americans were considered two spirits.
Historically in accurate
Beautiful piece.
Thank you 🙏.
Alert: Exploring this topic is fine, BUT basing it on Devdutt Pattnayak is a HUGE mistake. That guy does not understand our scriptures.
Devdutt Pattnaik has openly come out as gay that's why he has been vocal and we are fortunate to know ancient India's stance towards homosexuality.
Ancient Indians were real cool, then the British Raj happened. And now then Hindutva happened. Not Hinduism but Hindutva.
Hindutva decriminalized homosexuality, while 'seculars' were busy appeasing homophobic minorities.
No your are wrong
I've come back to this video over and over throughout the years. I really appreciate you sharing this information with the world.
All is Bhagavan, All is beautiful 🙏🏻
This is really beautiful, thank you
Thank you for all you do and have done. Thank you, w/ overwhelming and flowing of love and light to you and all. From, she came to me as Kakini, and I, thank you. I hope you get this even know the video is old.
Your work deserves more subs. Pls never stop doing this videos.
I am for Decriminalisation...but this famous Devdutt Patnaik is a person with half knowledge in Indian literature, and half knowledge is very dangerous.
The way he interprets a thing is faulty and he himself praises him to be a great commentery writer of our scriptures. This is clearly seen in his books. Scholars and Indic researchers like Rajiv malhotra have clearly spoken this sad truth.
And i don't know how these instances that you depict in this video represents homosexuality? Watch out for Devdutt's misinterpretations
The Mahabharata is a must read for all who are interested in the scope of India's roots Very exciting reading too with the amazing Bhagavad Gita as the very root of the tree. On namo narayana. Namaste.
India is a melting pot of all the world views and school of thoughts....Proud to be an indian...Hope india gets rid of rss hindutva as soon as possible and embrace it's true roots
Thank you very much Epified!
I hope we include such topic in our school textbook instead about glorification of Mughal and british
Wow, This could help so many people.
Hinduism is fair to everyone...... but are the people following the religion?
I wish I had studied in one of the ancient gurukuls.
Every sexuality is natural, straight peoples are blind,😕, m gay I know m natural but no one straight people calls me natural, 😢😢
Others' opinions don't matter friend
John Doe thank you.☺
Porn Tart you're right.. Thanks😇☺
shuzzan shuzu ....u said i right dear
shuzan shubham I m straight and I think it's really wrong to call some one abnormal because they are gay. and if from next time someone says you abnormal give them a hard slap and show this video to them.
Todays people dont follow pure form of Hinduism... once lord shiva disguised as a woman tried to make love with lord krishna...Lord Shiva has knows to exist in many forms....hes depicted as a Straight man married to parvati, a transgender, a bisexual, a gay man....what our ancestors used to follow was TRUE AND PURE Hinduism....and if you read vedas and upanishads and scriptures from the time of indus valley civilisation, you will know it wasnt a "unnatural" thing in that era...it was ok to be homosexual...people lived in harmony...ancient indias had A LOT of wisdom and compassion towards people and creatures of earth...discoveries like sandals......even the sitar (some foreigners call it indian guitar) were used by gods and are described in holy books, perfumes were also used by ancient indians and gods....shampoo was discovered here...aryabhatt calculated precise distance between sun and earth and moon and earth and from other planets thousands kf years ago....we have jantar mantar in Delhi, jaipur which have buildings which are arranged in some unique pattern and unique structure arranged with help of ancient indian cosmic theory which tell us 100 percent Precise time. They were used by kings and queen and ancient indians....oldest surgery happened in ancient india....plastic surgery, reformation of blunt noseand other such surgeries were done by ancient indian surgeon Charak....orthopedic surgery done by ancient indian doctor Shushruta.....preserving food, sugar was first extracted in india
But sadly Modern day indians are no longer that wise....majority of people consider Homosexuality as an "against the nature" clause...the youth of India has different views about Homosexuality...majority of them respect them and are ready to accept them....lets just wait for time to pass...i believe that someday India will be free from Homophobia...and i have a strong feeling that with the help of todays youth...things will get much easier and friendly as they are educated.
Ps: im not gay im straight but looking at all this breaks my heart....human hurting other human...i want this to be over
I don't know what to say!! I was homophobic before this video
nyc video epified....didn't know this part of indian mythology ...good going
Cuz this is not true....all these stories are distorted....I have heard these stories first hand from my father......my great grandfather was a yogi and a seeker, in his quest he ammased a large no of rare and authentic books.....even a unbound handwritten geeta.....but all that collection has been eaten by decay of time and ignorance of my kin.....but it has left an overwhleming amount of tales which are so rare to find.....and I find the modern interpretors like devdutt in complete contrast.....If i have to choose i would choose my ansectral knowldege anyday as it has no discoherence whatsoever with all of vedas and upnishads......I remember when i was told by my muslim friend that one of the text in rigveda calls for killing of cows.....and i was taken aback that it mentioned "hanyate gavyam" (loosely tranlated as kill the cows) but when i talked about this in my home i was told that han (हन्) also means to "move" and i had to look no further than ramcharitmanas sundar kand ( mushtika ek maha kapi hani) here "han" meaning cannot be to kill cuz here goswami ji is telling how Hanuman drove a powerful fist 👊.....and when i looked for the answer online I saw hours of explanation about the same fact through other source......but I didnot had to scour ancient sanskrit for this cuz Tulsidas has already used meaning oh "Han" in the sense it was meant in Rigveda......so you see how not knowing has caused you to change your mind so easily......sorry for the long answer......peace out
Shiva dancing with Krishna as a woman has nothing to do with sex infact if you know the story you'll know that the theme of this story was meditation not sex.
Krishna himself didn't marry Arjun's son. He took the form of a real woman and married him. Dressing up as a woman and becoming a woman are different, and the difference is clearly mentioned in the Mahabharat. If Krishna did marry Arjun's son then are you telling me that Krishna was, from that day onwards the wife of Arjun's son? No he was planning the Mahabharat war. The claims are ridiculous!
I don't think sexuality or sex were the highest themes in any of these stories.
What a shame that we live between ignorant people while our ancestors were free living.
devdutt patnaik writings are your reference, come on !!
he is fraud, writin wrong and absurd interpretations
The Mythology stories put in references are true as its old and not someone's imagination ...I can assure that as I heard them while grewing up by my parents and elders... I guess I was brought up with an open mind only for that and being from a Brahmin family this mythological stories were always a part of my life... and I never heard about this guy whom u r claiming as fraud
True
We need to debunk these lies being told about our history and cultures! Both African and Indian
Devdutta pattanaik is self obsessed person who morphs meaning of Hindu texts & found to adamantly debating for it with wiser people
Very true
Shiva never became a women, he dressed up as one because the river god wouldnt let him cross. These are dialectical scriptures, they are metaphors with much deeper meaning and not meant to be taken literally
Buddha : don't tell me ! Mah homie Vishnu told me that a week ago
Hmmmm we often misunderstand so many cultures..
i have been hearing these stories from childhood .for eg shikhandi was my favirite .. and never thought homosexuality was never normal or was never there .. after growing up and aftrer watching western cinema and content i came to know that homosexuality is taboo there .
Sister this is not true....all these stories are distorted....I have heard these stories first hand from my father......my great grandfather was a yogi and a seeker, in his quest he ammased a large no of rare and authentic books.....even a unbound handwritten geeta.....but all that collection has been eaten by decay of time and ignorance of my kin.....but it has left an overwhleming amount of tales which are so rare to find.....and I find the modern interpretors like devdutt in complete contrast.....If i have to choose i would choose my ansectral knowldege anyday as it has no discoherence whatsoever with all of vedas and upnishads......I remember when i was told by my muslim friend that one of the text in rigveda calls for killing of cows.....and i was taken aback that it mentioned "hanyate gavyam" (loosely tranlated as kill the cows) but when i talked about this in my home i was told that han (हन्) also means to "move" and i had to look no further than ramcharitmanas sundar kand ( mushtika ek maha kapi hani) here "han" meaning cannot be to kill cuz here goswami ji is telling how Hanuman drove a powerful fist 👊.....and when i looked for the answer online I saw hours of explanation about the same fact through other source......but I didnot had to scour ancient sanskrit for this cuz Tulsidas has already used meaning oh "Han" in the sense it was meant in Rigveda......so you see how not knowing has caused you to change your mind so easily......sorry for the long answer......peace out
I find a lot of Indians complaining about the current scenarios and the mentality of people prevailing in India today about various things which are considered as "taboo".
There no denial of the fact that there are many people who behave like uneducated literate, who want to hang upon the vices of the community and these are the people who are quite vocal about them. And that's why people assume their thoughts represent India/ Hinduism.
But the that's not true! Problem is not that there are no good and educated people in India, problem is most of the such people choose to remain silent.
We can restore the glory of Hinduism if we choose not to close our eyes and bend in front of the conservative shit, who try to draw boundaries in this ancient way of living of India! And at the same time we need to erase quite a few too!
Hinduism is not mere a religion ( as per the definition of Oxford), a mere code of conduct, it is Sanatan Dharma. And Dharma had got a very simple definition...something which holds together, which sustains the realities which are inherent in this universe. And that's why these are not taboo!!
You got that Christians? Especially the last message.
This shows you that Hinduism is the request
It's not a forceful opinion but the opportunity to bestow knowledge on one who is ready to learn
The 4 major Dharmic traditions (Sanatana Dharma/ Hinduism, Buddhism,Sikhism and Jainism) have a beautiful and very broad views in all aspects of cosmic, earthly and human diversity, including sexual
Diversity. Ancient Hinduism like Buddhism have gotten these aspects right as proven but science. The Abrahamic religions (Christianity,, Islam and Judaism) on the other hand look increasingly fairytale like with their religious claims and rigid belief systems. I’m so glad I discovered Hinduism and left Christianity.
People who are interested in Hinduism and wants to read about Hindu scriptures... Please don't read devdutt pattanaik or any modern writer who himself/herself is not a Yogi.
Try to learn sanskrit,read them in sanskrit, even speaking slokas beneficial to us and atmosphere around us.
Hari ohm..
