Pranam sir. Im a western hindu from Brasil, hindutva supporter and student of Indian history and Vedic Hindu knowledge systems as Vedanta Yoga Vedanga Upaveda. Im a big fan of your work. Would love you have videos with subtitles in Portuguese and Spanish so can spread to south America audiences.
As a Westerner (from Spain) I was well acquainted with many of the names, books, and US institutions, etc that Mr Malhotra has mentioned: Paul Tillich, J. Campbell, Heinrich Zimmer (great and credible Indologist), TM, the Bollinger Series - many of which I have read. Having immersed myself in Advait Vedanta for the past 20 years I consider myself fortunate in having discovered the lucid and important work of RM. Early on I realised the distortions and unclaimed borrowings of Freud and Jung from Indian sources. In my experience, however, things are raìdly changing in the West (at least for the past 10 yrs or more).Apart from Buddhism there is a growing interest in Advaita: new translations and publications, like Advaita.Info in Spain. I congratulate you all for having such a powerful and true teacher in your mist.
People interested in Indian psychology can look up 'Jadunath Sinha'. He wrote 3 volumes on Indian psychology in 1930s which are freely available for download today. It's mind blowing work that draws parallels with western psychology at the time and highlights western vs oriental differences in concepts. Sadly, his name is unknown because his thesis on history of Indian philosophy was stolen by his thesis reviewer and published as his own. He even filed a case in Calcutta high court against him but the reviewer went on to become a very powerful political personality. His name :Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan.
I have never ever listened to such great intellect. There is no one as intelligent as Mr Rajiv Malhotra. He has gifted intellect. His works are way beyond excellence. His works will become backbone of India's resurgence and re-emergence as vishwaguru.
Being a psychology student I always felt the Indian connections and as soon as started practicing was sure about it Ty sir for this brilliant work ,let's respect our roots , privileged to be connected to you on this platform waiting for more .
as far as spiritual aspects are concerned i never really trusted any western sources because they all come with an agenda of establishing fake western superiority.
Having lived in the West all my life (as an MD and a student of Philosophy) I was fortunate in not having fallen for the water-downed or distorted views of Eastern philosophy and spirituality that Rajiv Ji speaks about. Often I realised that something was wrong, something missing as to the sources (like in the case of Jung, Freud, Joseph Campbell, etc.). Many years ago I wrote a short article ('What do we mean by Health?') in a Canadian Medical journal basing myself chiefly on Aristotle and the Bhagavad Gita. That was the beginning of my interest in India and Hindu philosophy. Would that I had discovered Rajiv's work and publications much earlier!
Actually did you know that Hindu philosophy influenced ancient greeks as well ? For more than 2000 years, the western world has TRANSLATED AND DIGESTED Indian works and they are now called western works. I would like to share a lot with you, if u r interested (I hope u r, coz u need to spread the word about India and its achievements).

I am really becoming more confident on my history. No word of thanking Mr.Rajiv Malhotra. I would try my best to translate all those to Bangla to have more access. I don't know how to do it officially. May Isswar give him long life.
If 1% of Indians are familiar and having experienced in Indian philosophy and psychological reality findings then they will not only change India but will change the whole world.
I have been studying Rig Veda for quite sometime now... I don't have the words to describe this feeling of betrayal It's not just conciousness but cosmology, string theory, Unified field theory etc etc... Every thing originated, developed and matured from the digestion of Vedas . Sir, I'm glad that you are doing something to preserve our knowledge. Your teachings will someday in the future help the Indians who have forsaken their identity, realise that by the virtue of their birth they are part of something greater than all the west combined. Your lectures will become the guiding light for the next generation of Indians who seek enlightenment and knowledge. Also, It's my humble request that you publically state how the west copied the principles of unified field theory from Rig Veda. Michio kaku an eminent scientist in this field second to Stephen Hawking, is also doing the same process of digestion of Rig Veda And he has indirectly influenced many physicists of this era. Sir, please make a video on this also
Very Right Bro, I have read very astonishing speech of Swami Vivekananda on 'Theory Relativity'. For sure, Western must be influenced by him before Einstein came.
What Rajiv ji is doing is highly commendable. I fall short of words to appreciate his work, the amount of time, money and energy he has dedicated for this noble cause. To begin with his ideas should at least take off to the extent that people become aware of this trend. We need to get back what is rightfully ours. And we need to put our backs into it. God Bless you Rajiv ji 🙏
Sir I am impressed by your Buddhist Studies. Being a Buddhist follower I appreciate your research and hard work regarding indology and buddhology. Thanks for video sharing.
I do wish I'd heard this 20 years ago. I am a Westerner. Deep gratitude for your work and for this lecture. It has taken me decades to come finally to authentic dharma. I recognize the truth of these words. Thank you. And it is so ironic that people like Stephen Batchelor have done so much harm in the name of authenticity. Others here have concealed the door to authenticity in ways that are just as harmful.
SYNAPSE 2020 ~ Glad to know you found out about Rajiv's enormous work. Now, it is your Swadharma to get out & spread the word in your family & friends circle. Be an intellectual Kshatriya to defend Sanatana Dharma. Also, you can get connected with Rajiv in any one of the following ways. But please be patient. Rajiv's admin folks will get in touch with you and you can take it from there.

It makes my heart boil to see appropriation and digestion of Indian knowledge by the west. In this era of patent, and IPR, why we haven't been able to make our case?

This video is also relevant with respect to the recent controversy on christian miisionaries trying to appropriate carnatic music and replacing Hindu gods in Thyagaraja's song with jesu, while famous carnatic musicians are paid to sing it.
Sick of all those people, wish Aadi Shankaracharya to come to birth again and give the awareness on Sanatana Dharma again to us Hindus again to believe in our ancient culture, only culture , teaching the way to live life and Rajiv Sir is following his footsteps..🙏🏻🙏🏻
Cannot put into words how important this is for us in India who need to be educated on this Indian contribution. Thank you for this effort and hard work Rajivji!
I am a researcher working on Brain and Mind.... I am so happy seeing your video...I feel sad about some of us who don't value their heritage and blindly believe on westernized concepts ..your videos are so insightful...looking forward to your works and books...
Thank you for another enlightening talk. I had been aware of the Hindu influences on Jung et al, but your research has brought out the details in sharp relief. You are a great blessing to all who follow the Dharma.
Applause to each and every word of yours! I´m delighted to hear and see your videos. May your efforts to mentally "de-colonialise" the minds of Indians be blessed by the Gods and bring rich fruit soon. Indian culture is so very superior to any other culture. But still then Indians are sometimes not aware of that and are happy to copy Western clothing, thinking, behavior, even though it is inferior. It´s sad. Even the elite of the country sometimes runs away to USA and other countries. All this has to be reversed. I really appreciate your never ending efforts for Bharat. Daniavad.
The degree of selflessness of Rajiv ji is truly unparallel. We must be grateful to him who make us realise who we are. We should give our little effort by subscribing to his channel and sharing his thoughts among our friends.
I really sometimes worry how our concept of indian thought is converging because from last decade or so westerners are more curious about our heritage and knowledge than us and in their journey they r more likely to come across these modified/digested concept of indian thought than original or pure. Even IIT is suffering from craving for Western acceptance problem. Even I thought when watching devtdutt on TV that at least someone has taken initiative to convert our ancestral knowledge to simple terms...and I bought 'My Gita'. Then youtubing devtdutt I found Rajiv sir vedio on debunking devdutt ideologies and my little bubble shattered. Now I can see how we feel it's fashionable to call ourselves atheist and discarding our traditions as superstition. We've been denied our true syllabus in our education systems....but now with Rajiv sir I feel empowered and hopeful for Future.
What should l call myself...? My culture , heritage stolen from me in front of my eyes ...and l refused to open my eyes and continued to snore...Do l still have hope??...when l see Rajiv sahib. I feel the hope ...may lshwer give him long and healthy life...and for myself l am going to start lndianising myself , my family and friends...
Start buying ramdev products which is Swadeshi. Work towards setting up Swadeshi businesses of clothes and advertise them like that... I would have done that if I was in India.
It is very much disappointing that we lost our Civilizations EcoSystem... But Sir.. Respectful Sir Rajiv... We Will You.. Us ...all Bring and Stand again"" The Greatest Civilization Ecosystem"" on The Right Foundation Along With Your Great Support & With The Help of your Greater Guidance .... Sir....!! Pranaam 🙏🤝🙏💕💖💜🌹🌹🌹🌾🌾🌾🌿🌿🌿
Excellent work Rajiv Ji. Sadly this is a standing issue especially In the Bengal regions. Basically do/say anything against our culture and traditions and you will have a lot of people interested but say something positive then you are called BJP supporter, no matter how well you rationalize. I shared your video among some of my enlightened friends. Hope you will continue your work here in Bengal too. PS: It would be great if you have a event page for your lectures so that people interested can join. Thanks again.
At his age he is standing & talking fluently without a mistake or referring to any notes..at his age, I could not even be strong enough to stand, forget speaking for an hour.. Rajiv ji my pranams to you..pls tell us your secret of strength - any upasana / yoga you do for this 😊
Rajivji has set a great example of how to make Artha and Kama subserve Dharma. You fight for Dharma against more powerful and numerous enemies , because nought else is worth living for.
Nice, one , your work involves immense scrutiny and watch, the process to debunk and expose the sly and covert attempts of westeners to make everything their own is appreciable, plus you destroy it by counter research or solid proofs unlike many who just argue and are opinionated, hoping one day to contribute even 0.1 percent of what you do . :)
This is a brilliant lecture. I did not know about Sassure's Patanjali connection. We read Jung and Freud in undergrad in psychology courses,. Neither in India nor abroad any connection to Hinduism was mentioned. This is such an eye opener. And thanks for clarifying Digestion vs. appropriation. Although its been explained in your book, many people watching this will understand. Digestion then also leads to falsification of knowledge because if you are using only half a knowledge --without understanding its roots, you will never be able to implement it in its entirety as it was meant to. Half-baked results, based on half-baked understanding will then lead to believing that knowledge is not valuable.
Excellent .great work I feel that there should be a total revamp of Indian education system.we have to move away from the present one to one where we include our ancient knowledge and culture along with science and mathematics.
Twisting Of Translation, Is Called Linguistics Manupilation Of The Minds, Borrowed Knowledge And Nationalised It As Their Own! Like What Happened To Mathematics During The Spice Trade With Pursia! 🙏

I'm following Rajivji since at least 4 years...I have never seen him shared his problems with talent hijacking... he has spoken about all these scientists in some capacity some where...
Hi, If anyone of you is good at animation, please make a video about the Digestion that Rajiv Ji has explained in this and other different videos. People of the next generation are not going to pay attention to speech, so an animated video will be a better option. If you are doing it please depict western Academia as a fox rather than a Tiger. Thanks.
Q-How we able to get back our intellectual heritage as these westerners have already claim intellectual properties right.. A- Awaring All Indians first, then Asia then whole world. Stop reading their studies as a part of our course and overhaul our universities curriculum to rightfully glorify our lost marvelous ancient heritage.... Salute to Rajiv Sir Wish our government should also intervene in this project. Govt. support can multiply speed of project.. And any viewers who are in this field, I have humble request please support Rajiv Sir because this way u r building our nation. Jai Hind 🙏
its because chinese, japanese and korean civilisations are very relatable to indian civilisation and their civilisations are also not based on frauds and a false sense of civilisational superiority.
the first thing I thought about, it's who would carry on after you have gone. I am glad you said at the end, that you are looking for your right students to carry on and help with your work.
There is a comment asking God for long life for Rajivji. I wish Rajivji long life and good health so that he can continue his amazing work. However, great personalities come only once in an epoch. Sri Rama, Sri Krishna, Vyasa, Valmiki, Buddha, Vivekananda, and many other great personalities blessed India and the Sanathana Dharma. What we do with their creations and teachings is equally important. Their teachings are not merely for listening with pleasure and pride. Young people should follow Sri Malhotra’s lead and undertake the work he has begun. They should become his disciples and start schools that continue the work he has been doing. Most others should follow the tenets he has been suggesting. Those with good funds should help his efforts and the future work of those who follow his line of work.
Thank you for all your effort and cognition, Rajiv Ji. You are that someone who we needed for all these times. It is quite disturbing to assimilate the fact that our knowledge of and contributions to mind sciences have been appropriated. Its high time we studied OUR history and realized WHO we really are to defend and champion Bharath dharma tradition. Jai Hind!
Rajivji, you are doing a great work. Like all of your videos, this one was also very thought provoking, insightful, well researched and nicely presented. May Bhagwan bless you in all your endeavors.
There is not a single day that goes without watching your videos. May God bless you with some kind of divine energies that could make you immortal...you have a lot of jobs to finish. I wish I were young and granted a place in your research team. I am 63 and retired but shall remain an enthusiastic reader of your great books. Can people like me do something for you and your projects?
Rajiv Malhotra sir, Am all praise for your sincerity,dedication and devotion rich hardwork which in my opinion is unique.Am not so well educated and am above 71.A retired naval junior officer but feel like contributing in your effort to whatever extent I can but not clear as to what and how since am not very comfortable in internet skills also.May I avail of my good fortunes by meeting you if you have any plans to visit bangalore.thanks sir.
Just came through an advertisement by Higher Balance Institute. The concepts are starkingly similar to Indian ideas of consciousness, but even the similarity is not acknowledged.
Beautiful. I love this. I apologise, Mr. Rajiv Malhotra. For not being able to help even though I know I can. Not at the moment at least. I would love to get into this work later in life. I am currently working on my science and engineering studies. I hope to help progress your work in the future by applying the skills I have acquired having studied science and engineering. Please do continue your valuable work. We are with you!
Sir I feel disappointed and losing my words. But I have a deep faith in our present and future generations. Your endless endeavor and research work will definitely inspire them not only to continue the work but will take them in a different level. At least, I can say, you gave me a huge wider view of the whole matter and inspired me to do something useful for my Country and Dharma. May God bless you and keep you healthy in body and mind.
I am a medical graduate and I always used to wonder why there is a strong similarity between Sigmund Freud’s theory(I’d, ego, and super-ego)and Bhagwan Gita’s updesh on how to control mind by Krishna . Now I got the answer, there must be huge possibility that Freud borrowed this from Gita because except for this part Freud’s work on psychiatry is indifferent however he was a great researcher and was a great neurologist. It’s really sad that all those psychologists and psychiatrists visits Freud’s house in Vienna and London without acknowledging their own heritage. Have to ever wondered that all those great Jewish researchers including Einstein and Oppenheimer acknowledged Bhagwan Gita ?
I hope everybody who watched this talk, firmly resolve to buy Patanjali products and nothing else. At least that way these thieves will not be able to sell in India.
i would request the organizers of the talk shows of guru Rajiv ji to give atleast a chair for him to sit. He keeps standing for hours even at this stage and people younger than him sit nicely!!!
Yes Sir!! We are all Preparing for Rejuvenating Our Own Bhartiya Mind Sciences.... 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳💆💆💆✌️✌️✌️🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏🤝🤝🤝🌹🌹🌹🌼🌼🌼🌾🌾🌾🌱🌱🌱🌻🌻🌻🌴🌴🌴Sir Rishi Rajiv Jee ... Atyant Hardik Pranaam 🙏 aapshri Ko. ..
I am also working on this topics... I have written articles like Treasures of Indian culture.. Showing how advance our culture was and how evils like sati evolved.... Finding ppl like you really motivates me that I am not alone in this field.... Hats off you sir👍👍
Totally agree with Rajiv ji, Pattern in which Cristina institute work is 3 generation concept, which they did in South America to convert the South American native. In first generation they ask people to practice Cristina along with their native believe . In second generation they dilute native belief system and in third generation native belief is totally demanised . I have seen lot of Western people who talk about Yoga starting with india reference and then try to dilute Hindu contribution . And try to manipulate our history according to Cristina conspiracy then after that in conclusion they says that Hindu philosophy and system is confusing and disguising and try to stablish their Cristina idology Unfortunately lot Hindu gurus ,politicians, industrial people and academic people in India Knowing or unknowingly help these people to get petty benefits from Western contries
Learn from India. Translate it in English .And sell the same think as herbal. Natural organic . Meditation . Mind body. Art of living. ...Now I have mastered art of leaving
Naman Shri Pandit Rajiv Ji...I cant even imagine tge amount of frustration, helplessness and anger you would have felt on those Templeton F guys who choose you to filter intellectuals and then buy them.... Shame on those who are born with instinct of being an item of sale...
Hi Malhotra Sir, I follow your video blog and I have added you to my linkedin as well, 4-5 years back. I usually don't comment but this article of your is the best. I have this feeling that Vipassana was one of your early influences, and maybe one strong reason why you probably might have devoted yourself to the cause of Indian sciences/ Indian culture /Indian grand narrative. If my guess is true then it completely makes sense that one day or next you would talk about Indian culture's contribution to the field of psychology. Being medical doctor and biomedical scientist, I am familiar with the field of psychology/ psychiatry, and I always felt that why we in mainstream medical syllabus we don't think about indigenous methods of understanding psychology. My intention in such thinking was why not have some contribution from Indian voices in the field of psychology. But what you suggest here is far deeper than that. YOu let us know that how central and deep is India's contribution to the psychology ( albeit completely un-acknowledged). Few months back I commented on one of science related seminar you or iswadeshi indology conference posted, I mentioned there what c.k. raju thinks, he talks about india's immense contribution in the field of mathematics. Here you talk about psychology ( very central and very deep contribution, not the sidenote/ footnote, not the also ran contribution but the central). And as c.k. raju tells further , that because western understanding of mathematics is not good enough, this is preventing them from doing good mathematics. I feel the same way related to psychology, as western understanding is borrowed one, without acknolwedging and understanding original sources, their psychology science is not good enough. And you talk this with very important examples in this lecture. I feel that this was the best lecture of yours.
Also, among the galaxy of western psychologists/ philosophers who borrowed from eastern philosophy, I want to add one more name. This professor's name is mihaly csikzentmihaly. He talks about the concept of FLOW. If one probes it bit deeper this is the same concept as Tao. But he doesnot acknoledge it atll. Flow is about deep concentration, as is traditionally required for practicing archery/ martial art/ calligraphy/ painting etc. One would be able to reach such deep states, by following traditional instructions far better than what csikzentmihaly suggest....as I feel after reading his book and also reading dao de jing and comparing them. The traditional approach has understood the CRUX of the matters. Mihaly CSikzentmihaly has NOT got it. He turned out to be another superficial borrower, who didnot acknolwedge, who distorted what he borrowed, and who didnot get the core understanding.
so for me now the rule of thumb is....if you heard some new psychology school, try to understand which eastern source / eastern conept they borrowed from, and then TRUST very little what they are mumbling, instead return to the original source.
this applies to mathematics, ayurvedic medicine, organic farming science, psycology, philosophy and many more fields. Many of the bigshot names who borrowed heavily from eastern source were just armchair thinkers, who just read some translated books, and if atall they visited eastern world they just dropped there like helicopter reporters and send some brief time. THey don't get the depth of many of the matters at hand atall. SUch superficial arrogant approach prevents them from getting it.
There's some conversation on UA-cam between DEEPAK CHOPRA and SAM HARRIS where Chopra is trying to explain his way of treatment through the Vedic system... wherein Sam harris actually laughs him out and misappropriates him...and than everybody start laughing...but chopra actually wasn't able to take a stand for his points because he didn't had his research done but now we've the answer...
Sir..I accept mind science 200% I did my own life 10 -20 times it will out standing.. I Bray to God 120 years..to healthy life.. Tell Truth to new generation.. .
Rajiv you are my hero, keep up the great work. I am in NJ and I would like to meet you. I am actually looking to buy a house in the next town. I want to help. I love you and you work for Bharat.
Today Christian Misionaries and Muslim Wakf Board in India are trying to dismantle Hindu Dharmuc thinking to their best advantage instead of being profited or benefited of being staying together here. HinduDharmic Thinking is unique and modelustic. Rajiv Malhotra does lots of things on Hinduism and world thoughts these days. Due respects to him. Thank you.
Rajiv ji, thanks another great video. Freedom fighters like Savarkar and Tilak freed us from trash colonial powers, which was physical in nature. You are a modern day freedom fighter who is attempting to free us from colonial intellectual slavery which we never freed from. Dhanyawad. Deserve donations to your (our) cause.
I would really like to see the books published much sooner because it is very important for the direction of the narrative that the books are published. It would do a great deal in advancing Indian educataion
I have done my post graduation in psychology and there was nothing much to study about Indian contribution. I am feeling pain in my heart while listening this that not everyone talks about it, not much people know about it. But as said by Buddha that three can never be hidden The Sun, The Moon and The Truth. Also, one thing is i need to update myself regarding my knowledge of my own culture. Thank you sir for so much hardwork and inspiring. 😇
Namo Namah, guru Rajiv ji, jiss shuddh atma se aap ye sab kary kar rahe hain, kripaya ashirwaad dijiye hum sabhi ko jo iss dharm yuddh mein aapke saath jude hain, ki hum bhi issi lagan se apne samaj desh aur vishw ke liye nirantar athak kary karein................... aapne apna sarvasv iss kary mein laga diya...aap Swami Vivekanand ji ka punarjanam hain! apko nat mastak. karti hun. apne kitni chalaki se herb benson ki gupt baaton ko harvard mahavidyalay se nikalwaya!!!! adbhut hain aap! main prati din aap ke video se prerna leti huin aur asha karti hun ki aapke bataye marg pr chal sakuin.
We need to strengthen Rajìvji, by atleast watching his videos and sharing to the maximum number of people. Next level is associating with him in his sadhana of spreading the message world wide.
@@shrirambhandari1463 First they give credits. Then the next one comes to coin new terms and keep the credit. Then next step is to remove the name. Then the next step is to mis-translate and circulate the mis-translations. Then the next step is to destroy the source by abusing it...!
sam harris is an atheist who has left behind christian delusions, so he may have debrainwashed himself from christian indoctrination. atheists in the west are the only ones with a little bit of morals, all christian sects are nothing but all speaking lies in one form or the other.
Aap ko koti koti naman Rajiv Sir..Dandvat pranam aapko and Shame on those people who feel ashamed to be wearing saffron, what scientists are they if they don’t believe in their culture and country..
what a speech. thank you Rajiv ji.. Looking forward to reading your book. DO you also include the way to combat with the situation and not acknowledging the original source? would love to hear your plan
I really look forward to this book. I have known that the development of Modern psychology was deeply derived from Yoga and Buddhism, because as a student of Philosophy I was aware of the history and movement of ideas. It started with Arthur Schropenhauer, who was a direct influence on Freud and William James and Jung, the first wave of psychology. The latest(fourth) wave of CBT/DBT/ACT is more directly based on Indic thought. In other words, Indic thought is responsible not only for the birth of modern psychology but also its continuous development. BUT In science it does not really matter where you get your ideas from to develop your theories. It did not matter to mathematicians that Ramanjuna got his theory from a goddess in a dream, or to physicists that Schrodinger mined his thoughts from Yoga, Samkhya and Vedanta --- what matters is your hypothesis testable? Does it explain the current and the past data? Does it make predictions? Unfortunately, Indian people failed to exploit their own knowledge resources to do that, partly because they did not appreciate it themselves and Western people did. This has been going on for centuries now and it is happening today. The founder of Hotmail could not find appreciation for his ideas, so he had to go outside of India where they would be appreciated. Yoga Nidra has been around for centuries, and India has been free since 1947, so why didn't an Indian psychologist come up with 'Lucid dreaming' first -- meaning turn it into a scientific theory. The same goes for 'Relaxation response' why didn't an Indian psychologist do it first? You actually see a pattern in how this knowledge appropriation happens -- it is usually some nice unassuming guru from India that goes to the West with our ideas or they come to India and learn in our traditional ashrams. But the ideas themselves are presented in the format of religion, spirituality or well being, then Western scientists recognise worth in those ideas, and then turn it into a scientific theory. They just don't straight up plagiarise the ideas, they convert those ideas into the language of science(and or mathematics) and turn into their own contribution. I am sorry but India has just missed the bus on the field of modern scientific psychology up until its fourth wave of psychology. All the pioneering work has been done in the West by Western scientists. The work they have contributed will not suddenly just become invalid if it is discovered it was all lifted from India. But that does not mean that the future of psychology cannot be done in India by Indian people. If Indian people start to appreciate their own knowledge and can turn it into science, India will be leading the new 5th wave in psychology. I suggest Mr Malhotra, though I am sure you already on it, start pitching these ideas to Indian psychologists working in the field of scientific psychology and fill the lacuna that Western psychologists have left --- there is still a lot of ideas in India that the West is failing to validate or legitimate in Mainstream Science --- the subtle body, siddhis, reincarnation, the theory of unfoldment of evolution, Akashic field, cosmic consciousness. Build alliances with the fringe transpersonal psychologists in the West, get the Indian government to fund research in Indian universities in all these areas and co-opt them too, get the yogis, swamis and sanyasis all to join in --- and the 5th wave will be an Indian wave.
MrWarriorspirit It is imperative that scientist in mind science field acknowledges original source,so the original source can be examined and one can continue learning from it.
I agree it would be nice if they acknowledge their sources, and in some cases they have, but what you need to understand here is most of them do not wholesale lift the ideas from Indian sources, they turn it into a scientific hypothesis and then it becomes a theory. This is how they end up taking the credit. The point I am making Indian scientists can do it before a Western scientist does it, and there are still a lot of ideas that can be scientifically translated. Unfortunately, and I think Malhotra will agree, Indian scientists only start taking Indian knowledge seriously when Western people do it first. I would like to see leading, cutting edge research in India, by Indian scientists using our Indian knowledge.
After watching these vedios there are lot of questions revolving in my head. And my father used to say the same things about Western intellectual but at that time I thought that my father is too obsessed with Hinduism so that he is ignoring the facts.
Westerner mind can be described closely with following verse. दुर्योधन उवाच । जानामि धर्मम् न च मे प्रवृत्ति:, जानाम्यधर्मम् न च मे निवृत्ति: "I know what is dharma, yet I cannot get myself to follow it! I know what is adharma, yet I cannot retire from it! Next line is famous hindi saying "oolta chor Kotwal ko Datein". Duryodhana blaming Krishna back for his adharma. त्वया हृषीकेश हृदिस्थितेन यथा नियुक्तोस्मि तथा करोमि "O Lord of the senses! You dwelt in my heart and I will do as you impel me to do."
Rajiv ji deserves "bharat ratna"🙏❤
He should get it. 🌹💐🌹
From all indications,, the BJP "nationalistic" govt will not give it to him because he makes them look like illiterates.
Why don’t all of us write to whoever reviews and picks the Bharat Ratna or other recognition? Let’s start a movement to help Mr. Malhotra!
I agree
I second that. He deserves huge recognition.
Pranam sir. Im a western hindu from Brasil, hindutva supporter and student of Indian history and Vedic Hindu knowledge systems as Vedanta Yoga Vedanga Upaveda. Im a big fan of your work. Would love you have videos with subtitles in Portuguese and Spanish so can spread to south America audiences.
It will Greatly help to make aware people globally.
Thank You from India.
💐🌹💐
I pray for a long life of Shri Rajivjee so that all these works he is doing are completed and new ones are undertaken, and a good team is trained.
@nirajan poudel So true Swamiji
As a Westerner (from Spain) I was well acquainted with many of the names, books, and US institutions, etc that Mr Malhotra has mentioned: Paul Tillich, J. Campbell, Heinrich Zimmer (great and credible Indologist), TM, the Bollinger Series - many of which I have read. Having immersed myself in Advait Vedanta for the past 20 years I consider myself fortunate in having discovered the lucid and important work of RM. Early on I realised the distortions and unclaimed borrowings of Freud and Jung from Indian sources. In my experience, however, things are raìdly changing in the West (at least for the past 10 yrs or more).Apart from Buddhism there is a growing interest in Advaita: new translations and publications, like Advaita.Info in Spain. I congratulate you all for having such a powerful and true teacher in your mist.
Thanks Alberto. Pls contact me privately by email with your details: RajivMalhotra2007@gmail.com. Let us discuss ideas for collaboration.
Namaste bro
People interested in Indian psychology can look up 'Jadunath Sinha'. He wrote 3 volumes on Indian psychology in 1930s which are freely available for download today. It's mind blowing work that draws parallels with western psychology at the time and highlights western vs oriental differences in concepts. Sadly, his name is unknown because his thesis on history of Indian philosophy was stolen by his thesis reviewer and published as his own. He even filed a case in Calcutta high court against him but the reviewer went on to become a very powerful political personality. His name :Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan.
I have never ever listened to such great intellect. There is no one as intelligent as Mr Rajiv Malhotra. He has gifted intellect. His works are way beyond excellence. His works will become backbone of India's resurgence and re-emergence as vishwaguru.
Dharmender Arya in imagination we were always vishwagurus -
Being a psychology student I always felt the Indian connections and as soon as started practicing was sure about it
Ty sir for this brilliant work ,let's respect our roots , privileged to be connected to you on this platform waiting for more .
as far as spiritual aspects are concerned i never really trusted any western sources because they all come with an agenda of establishing fake western superiority.
Having lived in the West all my life (as an MD and a student of Philosophy) I was fortunate in not having fallen for the water-downed or distorted views of Eastern philosophy and spirituality that Rajiv Ji speaks about. Often I realised that something was wrong, something missing as to the sources (like in the case of Jung, Freud, Joseph Campbell, etc.). Many years ago I wrote a short article ('What do we mean by Health?') in a Canadian Medical journal basing myself chiefly on Aristotle and the Bhagavad Gita. That was the beginning of my interest in India and Hindu philosophy. Would that I had discovered Rajiv's work and publications much earlier!
Actually did you know that Hindu philosophy influenced ancient greeks as well ? For more than 2000 years, the western world has TRANSLATED AND DIGESTED Indian works and they are now called western works. I would like to share a lot with you, if u r interested (I hope u r, coz u need to spread the word about India and its achievements).

Very useful! Thank you Sriram
Rajiv Malhotra Official Sure, will do!
I am really becoming more confident on my history. No word of thanking Mr.Rajiv Malhotra. I would try my best to translate all those to Bangla to have more access. I don't know how to do it officially. May Isswar give him long life.
If 1% of Indians are familiar and having experienced in Indian philosophy and psychological reality findings then they will not only change India but will change the whole world.
I have been studying Rig Veda for quite sometime now...
I don't have the words to describe this feeling of betrayal
It's not just conciousness but cosmology, string theory, Unified field theory etc etc... Every thing originated, developed and matured from the digestion of Vedas .
Sir,
I'm glad that you are doing something to preserve our knowledge.
Your teachings will someday in the future help the Indians who have forsaken their identity, realise that by the virtue of their birth they are part of something greater than all the west combined.
Your lectures will become the guiding light for the next generation of Indians who seek enlightenment and knowledge.
Also, It's my humble request that you publically state how the west copied the principles of unified field theory from Rig Veda.
Michio kaku an eminent scientist in this field second to Stephen Hawking, is also doing the same process of digestion of Rig Veda
And he has indirectly influenced many physicists of this era.
Sir, please make a video on this also
Very Right Bro,
I have read very astonishing speech of Swami Vivekananda on 'Theory Relativity'.
For sure, Western must be influenced by him before Einstein came.
Bro can you send the link to buy the book
What Rajiv ji is doing is highly commendable. I fall short of words to appreciate his work, the amount of time, money and energy he has dedicated for this noble cause. To begin with his ideas should at least take off to the extent that people become aware of this trend.
We need to get back what is rightfully ours. And we need to put our backs into it.
God Bless you Rajiv ji 🙏
Sir I am impressed by your Buddhist Studies. Being a Buddhist follower I appreciate your research and hard work regarding indology and buddhology. Thanks for video sharing.
I do wish I'd heard this 20 years ago. I am a Westerner. Deep gratitude for your work and for this lecture. It has taken me decades to come finally to authentic dharma. I recognize the truth of these words. Thank you. And it is so ironic that people like Stephen Batchelor have done so much harm in the name of authenticity. Others here have concealed the door to authenticity in ways that are just as harmful.
SYNAPSE 2020 ~ Glad to know you found out about Rajiv's enormous work. Now, it is your Swadharma to get out & spread the word in your family & friends circle. Be an intellectual Kshatriya to defend Sanatana Dharma. Also, you can get connected with Rajiv in any one of the following ways. But please be patient. Rajiv's admin folks will get in touch with you and you can take it from there.

It makes my heart boil to see appropriation and digestion of Indian knowledge by the west. In this era of patent, and IPR, why we haven't been able to make our case?
ask breaking INDIA forces and ask the ones who ruled the country for long time
User Name ,, BCOZ OF THE DESTRUCTION & NEGLECTION CAUSED TO OUR ANCIENT DHARMA HERITAGE & KNOWLEDGE SYSTEM BY THE WESTERN,, ISLAMIC INFLUENCED 70 YEAR RULE OF COMMUNISTS CONGRESS ON OUR GREAT ANCIENT NATION BHARAT...THEY HAVE DAMAGED IT,,THEY ARE THE BIGGEST ENEMY OF OUR NATION & OUR ANCIENT ORIGINAL DHARMIC TRADITIONS CULTURE & CIVILIZATION...THESE BLOODY TRAITORS CROOKS HYPOCRITE'S,, BASTARDS HAVE MADE INDIAN POPULATION A COLONIZED CUMMUNISTS SUBVERTED BRAINWASHED MENTAL SLAVE... DOOMED FOR SLAVERY & DESTRUCTION IN NEAR FUTURE...
I know it is a sad state. I feel like crying because it looks like the battle is already lost!
@@omkarkk9822 battle is not lost. Rijiv ji is here. And we are with him.
User Name we are not able to make a case because we don’t have a case - for intellectual arguments we have a case - when it comes to pragmatic world - our theories won’t make any sense - tough to accept but truth
This video is also relevant with respect to the recent controversy on christian miisionaries trying to appropriate carnatic music and replacing Hindu gods in Thyagaraja's song with jesu, while famous carnatic musicians are paid to sing it.
jesus was a demon
Sick of all those people, wish Aadi Shankaracharya to come to birth again and give the awareness on Sanatana Dharma again to us Hindus again to believe in our ancient culture, only culture , teaching the way to live life and Rajiv Sir is following his footsteps..🙏🏻🙏🏻
Cannot put into words how important this is for us in India who need to be educated on this Indian contribution. Thank you for this effort and hard work Rajivji!
Shweta Pannu generally I never see any comments from a female. I m happy that I found one intelligent girl
Shweta Pannu its even more imp for Indians to become producer of knowledge and not just consumers of knowledge.
I agree
I am a researcher working on Brain and Mind.... I am so happy seeing your video...I feel sad about some of us who don't value their heritage and blindly believe on westernized concepts ..your videos are so insightful...looking forward to your works and books...
Thank you for another enlightening talk. I had been aware of the Hindu influences on Jung et al, but your research has brought out the details in sharp relief. You are a great blessing to all who follow the Dharma.
What a greatest effort sir.. your are the icon of Indian intelligence..
Jai Bharat
Jai Hind
Applause to each and every word of yours! I´m delighted to hear and see your videos. May your efforts to mentally "de-colonialise" the minds of Indians be blessed by the Gods and bring rich fruit soon. Indian culture is so very superior to any other culture. But still then Indians are sometimes not aware of that and are happy to copy Western clothing, thinking, behavior, even though it is inferior. It´s sad. Even the elite of the country sometimes runs away to USA and other countries. All this has to be reversed. I really appreciate your never ending efforts for Bharat. Daniavad.
Bhaiyo...Plz jo dekh rha h sab k sab prann le ki minimum 100₹ jarur support k taur pr denge infinity foundation ko hum sab plz bhaiyon🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

The degree of selflessness of Rajiv ji is truly unparallel. We must be grateful to him who make us realise who we are. We should give our little effort by subscribing to his channel and sharing his thoughts among our friends.
I really sometimes worry how our concept of indian thought is converging because from last decade or so westerners are more curious about our heritage and knowledge than us and in their journey they r more likely to come across these modified/digested concept of indian thought than original or pure. Even IIT is suffering from craving for Western acceptance problem. Even I thought when watching devtdutt on TV that at least someone has taken initiative to convert our ancestral knowledge to simple terms...and I bought 'My Gita'. Then youtubing devtdutt I found Rajiv sir vedio on debunking devdutt ideologies and my little bubble shattered. Now I can see how we feel it's fashionable to call ourselves atheist and discarding our traditions as superstition. We've been denied our true syllabus in our education systems....but now with Rajiv sir I feel empowered and hopeful for Future.
This is a conspiracy against us to kill our identities..! Only when I came out of India, I got to know it's worth!
What should l call myself...? My culture , heritage stolen from me in front of my eyes ...and l refused to open my eyes and continued to snore...Do l still have hope??...when l see Rajiv sahib. I feel the hope ...may lshwer give him long and healthy life...and for myself l am going to start lndianising myself , my family and friends...
Start buying ramdev products which is Swadeshi. Work towards setting up Swadeshi businesses of clothes and advertise them like that... I would have done that if I was in India.
37:00, In the Netherlands, Lucid (Yuganitra) sessions are offered as a program. With no references at all to the Indian source.
It is very much disappointing that we lost our Civilizations EcoSystem... But Sir.. Respectful Sir Rajiv... We Will You.. Us ...all Bring and Stand again"" The Greatest Civilization Ecosystem"" on The Right Foundation Along With Your Great Support & With The Help of your Greater Guidance .... Sir....!! Pranaam 🙏🤝🙏💕💖💜🌹🌹🌹🌾🌾🌾🌿🌿🌿
Excellent work Rajiv Ji. Sadly this is a standing issue especially In the Bengal regions. Basically do/say anything against our culture and traditions and you will have a lot of people interested but say something positive then you are called BJP supporter, no matter how well you rationalize. I shared your video among some of my enlightened friends. Hope you will continue your work here in Bengal too. PS: It would be great if you have a event page for your lectures so that people interested can join. Thanks again.
At his age he is standing & talking fluently without a mistake or referring to any notes..at his age, I could not even be strong enough to stand, forget speaking for an hour.. Rajiv ji my pranams to you..pls tell us your secret of strength - any upasana / yoga you do for this 😊
Solute Sir, you are real hero of India . We are sharing your views and massage to many peoples ...
Rajivji has set a great example of how to make Artha and Kama subserve Dharma. You fight for Dharma against more powerful and numerous enemies , because nought else is worth living for.
Nice, one , your work involves immense scrutiny and watch, the process to debunk and expose the sly and covert attempts of westeners to make everything their own is appreciable, plus you destroy it by counter research or solid proofs unlike many who just argue and are opinionated, hoping one day to contribute even 0.1 percent of what you do . :)
This is a brilliant lecture. I did not know about Sassure's Patanjali connection. We read Jung and Freud in undergrad in psychology courses,. Neither in India nor abroad any connection to Hinduism was mentioned. This is such an eye opener. And thanks for clarifying Digestion vs. appropriation. Although its been explained in your book, many people watching this will understand. Digestion then also leads to falsification of knowledge because if you are using only half a knowledge --without understanding its roots, you will never be able to implement it in its entirety as it was meant to. Half-baked results, based on half-baked understanding will then lead to believing that knowledge is not valuable.
Excellent .great work
I feel that there should be a total revamp of Indian education system.we have to move away from the present one to one where we include our ancient knowledge and culture along with science and mathematics.
Twisting Of Translation, Is Called Linguistics Manupilation Of The Minds, Borrowed Knowledge And Nationalised It As Their Own! Like What Happened To Mathematics During The Spice Trade With Pursia! 🙏

I'm following Rajivji since at least 4 years...I have never seen him shared his problems with talent hijacking... he has spoken about all these scientists in some capacity some where...
Hi,
If anyone of you is good at animation, please make a video about the Digestion that Rajiv Ji has explained in this and other different videos. People of the next generation are not going to pay attention to speech, so an animated video will be a better option. If you are doing it please depict western Academia as a fox rather than a Tiger.
Thanks.
Salutations and prostrations to you sir, This requires a whole new academic study, Finding resources and interest of young minds is indeed challenge
Q-How we able to get back our intellectual heritage as these westerners have already claim intellectual properties right..
A- Awaring All Indians first, then Asia then whole world. Stop reading their studies as a part of our course and overhaul our universities curriculum to rightfully glorify our lost marvelous ancient heritage.... Salute to Rajiv Sir
Wish our government should also intervene in this project. Govt. support can multiply speed of project.. And any viewers who are in this field, I have humble request please support Rajiv Sir because this way u r building our nation. Jai Hind 🙏
Lot of Japanese Chinese Koreans etc they still visit Bodh Gaya , Nalanda, Rajgrih in large numbers.
its because chinese, japanese and korean civilisations are very relatable to indian civilisation and their civilisations are also not based on frauds and a false sense of civilisational superiority.
One god realized saint can put all these institutions to shame.This what India was built on.
this is one hell of a presentation. best talk ever.
the first thing I thought about, it's who would carry on after you have gone. I am glad you said at the end, that you are looking for your right students to carry on and help with your work.
There is a comment asking God for long life for Rajivji. I wish Rajivji long life and good health so that he can continue his amazing work.
However, great personalities come only once in an epoch. Sri Rama, Sri Krishna, Vyasa, Valmiki, Buddha, Vivekananda, and many other great personalities blessed India and the Sanathana Dharma. What we do with their creations and teachings is equally important. Their teachings are not merely for listening with pleasure and pride.
Young people should follow Sri Malhotra’s lead and undertake the work he has begun. They should become his disciples and start schools that continue the work he has been doing. Most others should follow the tenets he has been suggesting. Those with good funds should help his efforts and the future work of those who follow his line of work.
Thank you for all your effort and cognition, Rajiv Ji. You are that someone who we needed for all these times. It is quite disturbing to assimilate the fact that our knowledge of and contributions to mind sciences have been appropriated. Its high time we studied OUR history and realized WHO we really are to defend and champion Bharath dharma tradition. Jai Hind!
Rajivji, you are doing a great work. Like all of your videos, this one was also very thought provoking, insightful, well researched and nicely presented. May Bhagwan bless you in all your endeavors.
There is not a single day that goes without watching your videos. May God bless you with some kind of divine energies that could make you immortal...you have a lot of jobs to finish. I wish I were young and granted a place in your research team. I am 63 and retired but shall remain an enthusiastic reader of your great books. Can people like me do something for you and your projects?
Jai Dubey Yes please educate people around you and donate if u can!
Now Indian mind busy in musicly... 😂 😂 😂.
Rightly said brother.
Why you dumb
Rajiv Malhotra sir, Am all praise for your sincerity,dedication and devotion rich hardwork which in my opinion is unique.Am not so well educated and am above 71.A retired naval junior officer but feel like contributing in your effort to whatever extent I can but not clear as to what and how since am not very comfortable in internet skills also.May I avail of my good fortunes by meeting you if you have any plans to visit bangalore.thanks sir.
Just came through an advertisement by Higher Balance Institute. The concepts are starkingly similar to Indian ideas of consciousness, but even the similarity is not acknowledged.
Beautiful. I love this. I apologise, Mr. Rajiv Malhotra. For not being able to help even though I know I can. Not at the moment at least. I would love to get into this work later in life. I am currently working on my science and engineering studies. I hope to help progress your work in the future by applying the skills I have acquired having studied science and engineering. Please do continue your valuable work. We are with you!
Long live Rajeev to complete your mission in your lifetime. God bless 🙏
Mind and life institutions I think have a pure intention of building a harmony and understandable relationship between spirituality and science.
These lectures should be given to us in our schools as well.
Let encourage our children to know correct history of india
Brilliant! The effort you put into propagating the truth is commendable! Thank you! 👍👏🙏
Sir I feel disappointed and losing my words. But I have a deep faith in our present and future generations. Your endless endeavor and research work will definitely inspire them not only to continue the work but will take them in a different level. At least, I can say, you gave me a huge wider view of the whole matter and inspired me to do something useful for my Country and Dharma. May God bless you and keep you healthy in body and mind.
I am a medical graduate and I always used to wonder why there is a strong similarity between Sigmund Freud’s theory(I’d, ego, and super-ego)and Bhagwan Gita’s updesh on how to control mind by Krishna . Now I got the answer, there must be huge possibility that Freud borrowed this from Gita because except for this part Freud’s work on psychiatry is indifferent however he was a great researcher and was a great neurologist. It’s really sad that all those psychologists and psychiatrists visits Freud’s house in Vienna and London without acknowledging their own heritage. Have to ever wondered that all those great Jewish researchers including Einstein and Oppenheimer acknowledged Bhagwan Gita ?
Thank you Rajiv ji .
Jai hind
just wow...it just opens our mind after listening to you, we can now actually know what is happening.
I hope everybody who watched this talk, firmly resolve to buy Patanjali products and nothing else. At least that way these thieves will not be able to sell in India.
i would request the organizers of the talk shows of guru Rajiv ji to give atleast a chair for him to sit. He keeps standing for hours even at this stage and people younger than him sit nicely!!!
Yes Sir!! We are all Preparing for Rejuvenating Our Own Bhartiya Mind Sciences.... 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳💆💆💆✌️✌️✌️🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏🤝🤝🤝🌹🌹🌹🌼🌼🌼🌾🌾🌾🌱🌱🌱🌻🌻🌻🌴🌴🌴Sir Rishi Rajiv Jee ... Atyant Hardik Pranaam 🙏 aapshri Ko. ..
I am also working on this topics... I have written articles like Treasures of Indian culture.. Showing how advance our culture was and how evils like sati evolved....
Finding ppl like you really motivates me that I am not alone in this field.... Hats off you sir👍👍
What a brilliant mind. To see this clear research makes me super happy.
Totally agree with Rajiv ji,
Pattern in which Cristina institute work is 3 generation concept, which they did in South America to convert the South American native.
In first generation they ask people to practice Cristina along with their native believe .
In second generation they dilute native belief system and in third generation native belief is totally demanised .
I have seen lot of Western people who talk about Yoga starting with india reference and then try to dilute Hindu contribution .
And try to manipulate our history according to Cristina conspiracy then after that in conclusion they says that Hindu philosophy and system is confusing and disguising and try to stablish their Cristina idology
Unfortunately lot Hindu gurus ,politicians, industrial people and academic people in India Knowing or unknowingly help these people to get petty benefits from Western contries
Learn from India. Translate it in English .And sell the same think as herbal. Natural organic . Meditation . Mind body. Art of living. ...Now I have mastered art of leaving
Naman Shri Pandit Rajiv Ji...I cant even imagine tge amount of frustration, helplessness and anger you would have felt on those Templeton F guys who choose you to filter intellectuals and then buy them....
Shame on those who are born with instinct of being an item of sale...
धन्यवादः महोदय। 🙏
This is a huge economic opportunity for Indian academicians to harness Indian Sciences and publish to teach it.
Very empowering, inspirational and thought provoking speech. Thanks Malhotraji
Hi Malhotra Sir, I follow your video blog and I have added you to my linkedin as well, 4-5 years back. I usually don't comment but this article of your is the best. I have this feeling that Vipassana was one of your early influences, and maybe one strong reason why you probably might have devoted yourself to the cause of Indian sciences/ Indian culture /Indian grand narrative. If my guess is true then it completely makes sense that one day or next you would talk about Indian culture's contribution to the field of psychology. Being medical doctor and biomedical scientist, I am familiar with the field of psychology/ psychiatry, and I always felt that why we in mainstream medical syllabus we don't think about indigenous methods of understanding psychology. My intention in such thinking was why not have some contribution from Indian voices in the field of psychology. But what you suggest here is far deeper than that. YOu let us know that how central and deep is India's contribution to the psychology ( albeit completely un-acknowledged). Few months back I commented on one of science related seminar you or iswadeshi indology conference posted, I mentioned there what c.k. raju thinks, he talks about india's immense contribution in the field of mathematics. Here you talk about psychology ( very central and very deep contribution, not the sidenote/ footnote, not the also ran contribution but the central). And as c.k. raju tells further , that because western understanding of mathematics is not good enough, this is preventing them from doing good mathematics. I feel the same way related to psychology, as western understanding is borrowed one, without acknolwedging and understanding original sources, their psychology science is not good enough. And you talk this with very important examples in this lecture. I feel that this was the best lecture of yours.
Also, among the galaxy of western psychologists/ philosophers who borrowed from eastern philosophy, I want to add one more name. This professor's name is mihaly csikzentmihaly. He talks about the concept of FLOW. If one probes it bit deeper this is the same concept as Tao. But he doesnot acknoledge it atll. Flow is about deep concentration, as is traditionally required for practicing archery/ martial art/ calligraphy/ painting etc. One would be able to reach such deep states, by following traditional instructions far better than what csikzentmihaly suggest....as I feel after reading his book and also reading dao de jing and comparing them. The traditional approach has understood the CRUX of the matters. Mihaly CSikzentmihaly has NOT got it. He turned out to be another superficial borrower, who didnot acknolwedge, who distorted what he borrowed, and who didnot get the core understanding.
so for me now the rule of thumb is....if you heard some new psychology school, try to understand which eastern source / eastern conept they borrowed from, and then TRUST very little what they are mumbling, instead return to the original source.
this applies to mathematics, ayurvedic medicine, organic farming science, psycology, philosophy and many more fields. Many of the bigshot names who borrowed heavily from eastern source were just armchair thinkers, who just read some translated books, and if atall they visited eastern world they just dropped there like helicopter reporters and send some brief time. THey don't get the depth of many of the matters at hand atall. SUch superficial arrogant approach prevents them from getting it.
There's some conversation on UA-cam between DEEPAK CHOPRA and SAM HARRIS where Chopra is trying to explain his way of treatment through the Vedic system... wherein Sam harris actually laughs him out and misappropriates him...and than everybody start laughing...but chopra actually wasn't able to take a stand for his points because he didn't had his research done but now we've the answer...
Sir..I accept mind science 200% I did my own life 10 -20 times it will out standing.. I Bray to God 120 years..to healthy life.. Tell Truth to new generation..
.
A fascinating account of how India sources are being mined by Western appropriators. Many thanks to Rajiv Malhotra.
U-turn theory is highly accurate! 😂 Now that chaos and nonlinear dynamics are getting more traction hopefully awareness evolves.
Rajiv you are my hero, keep up the great work. I am in NJ and I would like to meet you. I am actually looking to buy a house in the next town. I want to help. I love you and you work for Bharat.
Today Christian Misionaries and Muslim Wakf Board in India are trying to dismantle Hindu Dharmuc thinking to their best advantage instead of being profited or benefited of being staying together here.
HinduDharmic Thinking is unique and modelustic. Rajiv Malhotra does lots of things on Hinduism and world thoughts these days. Due respects to him. Thank you.
Rajiv ji, thanks another great video. Freedom fighters like Savarkar and Tilak freed us from trash colonial powers, which was physical in nature. You are a modern day freedom fighter who is attempting to free us from colonial intellectual slavery which we never freed from. Dhanyawad. Deserve donations to your (our) cause.
I would really like to see the books published much sooner because it is very important for the direction of the narrative that the books are published. It would do a great deal in advancing Indian educataion
I have done my post graduation in psychology and there was nothing much to study about Indian contribution. I am feeling pain in my heart while listening this that not everyone talks about it, not much people know about it. But as said by Buddha that three can never be hidden The Sun, The Moon and The Truth. Also, one thing is i need to update myself regarding my knowledge of my own culture. Thank you sir for so much hardwork and inspiring. 😇
Taking forward Vivekananda's work. Salute Sirji.

Rajiv ji you are simply global icon , your narratives are iconic and globaly acceptable
its very informative.. thanks..to you,,,
I pray for long life of this legend
We need to strengthen Rajìvji, by atleast watching his videos and sharing to the maximum number of people. Next level is associating with him in his sadhana of spreading the message world wide.
Sam Harris is the only one who openly acknowledges that he is digesting Buddhism.
He is digesting it, he wants to disassociate the technique from Buddhism and make it secular there is a video of his where he says so .
@@shrirambhandari1463 First they give credits. Then the next one comes to coin new terms and keep the credit. Then next step is to remove the name. Then the next step is to mis-translate and circulate the mis-translations. Then the next step is to destroy the source by abusing it...!
sam harris is an atheist who has left behind christian delusions, so he may have debrainwashed himself from christian indoctrination. atheists in the west are the only ones with a little bit of morals, all christian sects are nothing but all speaking lies in one form or the other.
Aap ko koti koti naman Rajiv Sir..Dandvat pranam aapko and Shame on those people who feel ashamed to be wearing saffron, what scientists are they if they don’t believe in their culture and country..
what a speech. thank you Rajiv ji.. Looking forward to reading your book. DO you also include the way to combat with the situation and not acknowledging the original source? would love to hear your plan
I really look forward to this book. I have known that the development of Modern psychology was deeply derived from Yoga and Buddhism, because as a student of Philosophy I was aware of the history and movement of ideas. It started with Arthur Schropenhauer, who was a direct influence on Freud and William James and Jung, the first wave of psychology. The latest(fourth) wave of CBT/DBT/ACT is more directly based on Indic thought. In other words, Indic thought is responsible not only for the birth of modern psychology but also its continuous development.
BUT
In science it does not really matter where you get your ideas from to develop your theories. It did not matter to mathematicians that Ramanjuna got his theory from a goddess in a dream, or to physicists that Schrodinger mined his thoughts from Yoga, Samkhya and Vedanta --- what matters is your hypothesis testable? Does it explain the current and the past data? Does it make predictions? Unfortunately, Indian people failed to exploit their own knowledge resources to do that, partly because they did not appreciate it themselves and Western people did. This has been going on for centuries now and it is happening today. The founder of Hotmail could not find appreciation for his ideas, so he had to go outside of India where they would be appreciated.
Yoga Nidra has been around for centuries, and India has been free since 1947, so why didn't an Indian psychologist come up with 'Lucid dreaming' first -- meaning turn it into a scientific theory. The same goes for 'Relaxation response' why didn't an Indian psychologist do it first? You actually see a pattern in how this knowledge appropriation happens -- it is usually some nice unassuming guru from India that goes to the West with our ideas or they come to India and learn in our traditional ashrams. But the ideas themselves are presented in the format of religion, spirituality or well being, then Western scientists recognise worth in those ideas, and then turn it into a scientific theory. They just don't straight up plagiarise the ideas, they convert those ideas into the language of science(and or mathematics) and turn into their own contribution.
I am sorry but India has just missed the bus on the field of modern scientific psychology up until its fourth wave of psychology. All the pioneering work has been done in the West by Western scientists. The work they have contributed will not suddenly just become invalid if it is discovered it was all lifted from India. But that does not mean that the future of psychology cannot be done in India by Indian people. If Indian people start to appreciate their own knowledge and can turn it into science, India will be leading the new 5th wave in psychology.
I suggest Mr Malhotra, though I am sure you already on it, start pitching these ideas to Indian psychologists working in the field of scientific psychology and fill the lacuna that Western psychologists have left --- there is still a lot of ideas in India that the West is failing to validate or legitimate in Mainstream Science --- the subtle body, siddhis, reincarnation, the theory of unfoldment of evolution, Akashic field, cosmic consciousness. Build alliances with the fringe transpersonal psychologists in the West, get the Indian government to fund research in Indian universities in all these areas and co-opt them too, get the yogis, swamis and sanyasis all to join in --- and the 5th wave will be an Indian wave.
MrWarriorspirit You don't think like a warrior, you think like a slave.
MrWarriorspirit It is imperative that scientist in mind science field acknowledges original source,so the original source can be examined and one can continue learning from it.
I agree it would be nice if they acknowledge their sources, and in some cases they have, but what you need to understand here is most of them do not wholesale lift the ideas from Indian sources, they turn it into a scientific hypothesis and then it becomes a theory. This is how they end up taking the credit.
The point I am making Indian scientists can do it before a Western scientist does it, and there are still a lot of ideas that can be scientifically translated. Unfortunately, and I think Malhotra will agree, Indian scientists only start taking Indian knowledge seriously when Western people do it first.
I would like to see leading, cutting edge research in India, by Indian scientists using our Indian knowledge.
In recent times, it has to do with asymmetry of resources that Rajiv ji has talked about. Earlier, it was due to colonial mind set.
He already has. Indian psychology is a thriving these days. That is directly because of his efforts.
✌️👌🙏🙏🙏... long live Rajiv Sir....
I was eagerly waiting for this topic sir..awesome work
After watching these vedios there are lot of questions revolving in my head. And my father used to say the same things about Western intellectual but at that time I thought that my father is too obsessed with Hinduism so that he is ignoring the facts.
Westerner mind can be described closely with following verse.
दुर्योधन उवाच ।
जानामि धर्मम् न च मे प्रवृत्ति:, जानाम्यधर्मम् न च मे निवृत्ति:
"I know what is dharma, yet I cannot get myself to follow it! I know what is adharma, yet I cannot retire from it!
Next line is famous hindi saying "oolta chor Kotwal ko Datein". Duryodhana blaming Krishna back for his adharma.
त्वया हृषीकेश हृदिस्थितेन यथा नियुक्तोस्मि तथा करोमि
"O Lord of the senses! You dwelt in my heart and I will do as you impel me to do."
