Thank you for your presentation. I do have doubts in all of this, you mentioned the rise of Brahmins led to rituals and thereby the decline of the Veda, you also compared Brahmins and the Kings. But if my understanding is correct, Brahmins have sects within them eg:- Rig Vedi, Yujurvedi Brahmins etc? So, how is it that Brahmins led to the decline of Veda? Also, weren't the princely families Kshatriyas and not Brahmins? Wasn't Siddhartha a Kshatriya prince? So, would it be accurate to say that it was not only the Brahmins, but also the Kshatriya (warriors) and Vaishyas (business class) were all working together as per that times requirement? Would appreciate your thoughts. Thank you
Thanks for your comment. I shared based on what I had found in my research, though people can speculate and find their logic. The truth is you know every civilization has risen and fallen. And the key ingredients are usually Money 💰 and Power and ppl in the different classes show or demand the same in different ways and means to have it, which you can even see today. Most historians say that during those times Brahmins became extreme ritualistic and Kshatriya became more power-hungry & greedy, sometimes both classes helped each other, and Offcourse without Vaishyas, it’s not possible, which made common people from all including Brahmin, Kshatriya and Vaishya life difficult and added hardship. When Buddha tried those rituals at one point he also got fed up and gave up and choose his path. Anything that goes to the extreme creates a problem. Even today You can meet people from those areas who can tell you firsthand experience what their ancestors experienced. I respect all, but the truth must be shared sometimes it’s hard to reconcile with our dark side, but it helps us to move forward.
@@VishwaYoga Thank you for your reply. Truly appreciate it. I absolutely agree with you that anything extreme creates a problem and that it is sometimes hard to reconcile with our dark side. However, statements such as "Brahmins and the Kings led to the decline of the Veda" could also be construed as lopsided and misleading to those who aren't quite versed with the varna system, who the kings or princely class were, the overall Indian history and politics. It has often been a trend to demonise the Brahmins, ignoring or turning a blind eye to the acts of other classes within the Indian history. Also, historians are often biased in portraying history in its purest form. This creates space for scrutiny and questions. And in given todays day and age of "wokeism", nobody is interested in being balanced in their learning and understanding. This was just my food for thought on watching your video. Having said the above, I do genuinely appreciate your work. Thank you.
