Worshipping them because we can't repay them and neither replace nor make them so yeah Worshipping is our only choice
No one worship a cow you id…
Its respect and valuing them.
@@alberttanner408 "Its respect and value" but it is still superficial. Hindus bow before poisonous snakes too. Do you know why? If you look at the Vedic metaphysics Sankhya, the universe and everything in it is considered as the body of the conscious, immortal, immutable, self luminous, immanent (soul), transcendent and omnipresent divine without which nothing can exist. In other words there is nothing other than conscious divine + energy (aka Shiva and Shakthi) and they always exist together for the perpetual duality cycles to happen. eg Birth/decay (Including reincarnation cycle). energy/matter, wave/particle, summer/winter, freezing/melting, manifestation/concealment of the universe (not creation or destruction since energy can be neither created nor destroyed), man/woman, day/night etc Sankhya Vedic metaphysics can be validated by logic, double slit quantum experiment and embodied experience (direct knowledge through focus and meditation)
It also means "Tat Tvam Asi'' meaning - You (conscious and immanent athma or the soul) are (already) that (conscious, transcendent and omnipresent divine) regardless of whether you realize it or not because without the conscious, immanent and omnipresent athma or divine nothing can exist. Identification with thoughts and body is just an illusion because the 5 senses are experienced by the athma or soul and it is NOT the doer. Conscious and omnipresent athma or soul is like a silk thread which goes through different pearls (animate and inanimate) if you think in terms of an analogy.
The duality cycles of nature are mediated by the conscious and immanent/omnipresent soul and sustained by dharma or Satvik guna. So the purpose hindu dharmic tradition is to encouraging individuals to follow personal, social and environmental dharma to minimize Karma or cause and effect, put an end to reincarnation (birth/death duality) and get Moksha (eventually)
@@dfdsfsdfgdffg in Hinduism all things are worshipped
@@dfdsfsdfgdffg.. Every person have a spark of God even though he is a slaughter or a thief... Every person has been created by God.. So there is no discrimination among them by their act. Everyone is same
@@dfdsfsdfgdffg we worship cows as mothers meanwhile we don't give such respect to buffalo s it doesn't mean we don't give them respect ,to us who fed us with thier milk is our diety n literally we mean/we believe
This is not youtube content, this is divinely inspired poetry.
Cows are mother,rivers are energy nd trees are oxygen..to balance the nature.thanks

Cows are Mother in Maharashtra and Beef steak in GOA ..... hehe
@@sameerp2566 allah is worshipped in muslim world , and pissed upon in china hehehe
@@ganesanmuthiganesanmuthi5356 Everything has an essential nature or attribute (dharma). eg Consciousness is an attribute (dharma) of Shiva just like heat is an essential nature or attribute of fire and the sun.
An excellent example of what it means to be a true Hindu. Dr. Armstrong knows more about the minutiae of Indian culture than a great number of Indians in India itself or Indians living in the west.
An amazing lecture!
You seem to be obsessed by whites. Dont make sweeping statement "westerner knows more about us(our culture) more than us".
Whoever will study , will know
You heard Kavindra Ji. Yes he knows about Hindu Dharma. We a practice our Dharma on a daily basis. Like revere the cow using all the cow can give us except eat it. Look at the products we been using in our daily lives, cuisine, medical and beauty. All indian and Ayurveda is now being used in the west after thousands of years where for us it's a way of life. You know why Indians don't bother to make people aware is because they been belittled and looted and everything been considered paganism.
Don't disrespect what you don't understand.
@@kasturipillay6626 this is manava Dharma, not just Hindu Dharma, Hindu is btw a geographical term. Anyone who lives in India is a Hindu. Bharath is our desh🙏
I became vegetarian about a year ago. Just yesterday, I went to a barbeque restaurant, and I was very tempted to order meat because it looked and smelled so good on the food counters. But, I reminded myself why I had started on this path of Sanatan Dharma. So, I simply ordered vegetarian food, and let me tell you, at the end of the dinner, I was happy I didn't let go of my Dharma just for a moment of sensory pleasure.
We are proud of u brother. Bhagwan apko aur shakti de.
95 of the. Hindus are nonveg
Bhai next time se aise restaurant me jao he mat jaha non veg Banta ho, remember its not you who enjoy but the mind. Learn to say no to the mind. I wish you all the luck.
I would recommend u to eat at Jain restaurant or satvik restaurant because we are not sure if they use different utensils for veg food.
Jinke purvjo ke muh me jabarjsti..Gay ka mans..thunsa..Vo Aaj Hindu Se ladte Atanki Hindu hi ban Rahe pak me dharm..karm Sach jhuth 4g me dekh le duniya
Kavindra Ji your way of explaining Hindu Dharma is so ""cool "".
It's true we Respect every being around us because we know that God is in all beings. We cannot see God but what better way to acknowledge God by respecting nature and animals. Hindus Revere nature because we understood the laws of nature for many thousands of years ago. 🙏🙏🙏🌞🌞
🙏🙏THE ONLY RELIGION WHICH RESPECT AND PRAY NATURE IS SANATANA DHARMAM 🙏🙏🙏
Yeah yeah respect nature in Maharashtra and in GOA cut it and make steak and serve
There are aboriginals in Australia who pray to nature as well! They are closer to nature than Hindus
@@veryimportantcomment.2759 "So untouchables and muslims are not nature" If they violate dharma or the natural law - no. They are against nature let alone being part of it.
@@Tpb247 But Aborignals do eat meat, don't they? Then how can they be part of nature or dharmic.? So called Hindus based on birth who violate dharma or the natural law are also against nature.
@@sameerp2566 Individuals (including so called hindus based on birth) who violate the natural law or dharma are accountable to law of karma or cause and effect and must go through reincarnation (birth/death duality cycles). So, come out of this organized religion/commandment mindset of yours because hindu/dharmic tradition is neither a religion nor issues commandments.
Cow is the other mother for so many kids in the world - well said sir.
Definitely not voluntarily giving milk to humans.Many cows are artificially make to lactate and THAT IS NOT VIOLENT.Come on Rishi think again.
This video shifted my whole perspective on the matter. A lot of children would be dead if not for the cow. It makes me never want to eat one again.
This awesome talk should be happening in every junior school across the globe. Let them then decide how they would lead their own lives and contribute to the continuation of life on earth.
🙏🙏 Rishi mahashay.
@@ramram-hi2xp probably true but what stops us to do so in our country.
@@subrataroy5948 Hedonism and lack of multiple intelligence courses in school and college education system imported from the west are the reasons.
Namasthe 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Very beautifully explained, why Hindus worship nature and the holy Cow. Thank you
In my childhood every agriculture family had cows and bulls, they were treated on par with the members of family, no less.
Not at par but for exploitation, the cow's milk was forcibly taken from the calf for consumption, the bulls were made to work in the fields.
My God simply you are educating our peoples.... You are an asset of the Bharath... World. I bowed my head in front of you... 🙏
Beautiful speech - full of Wisdom and Blessings! Jay Shri Ram!
They cannot produce their 'God'. Where is he? But we can point to the tree and the river and the cow, and say, "There they are. You can see them too. Unless you want to pretend to be blind." Who're the ignorant ones?
Therefore cows and bulls are protected, no slaughter whatever festival or for food.
Sacred Animals like

ears feel blessed, mind feels refreshed after listening to you. highly informative and insightful
Every God or Goddess of us has an animal or bird attached to him or her. That's for presentation of those animals and birds. That's probability to keep the balance of the ecosystem. 🙏
Well said 🕉️🚩🇮🇳🚩🕉️

Deva and Devis, not God and Goddess. That’s how the British changed our religion to make us look like fools and most importantly to turn Muslims against us.
Excellent speech on greatness of cows , trees and nature. 🙏
I can't believe that a foreigner knows more than us Indians about out culture. I would be really interested to hear the next topic from him. Thank you sir Armstrong!
That's because you think all this is just for Indians, it's not. This is Dharma, manava Dharma, for entire planet for all humans of the world.
Talk about yourself not all Indians, many Indians do know about all this and more and they practise it on daily basis. From common man to educated many many Indians have this knowledge and even more deeper understanding than this.
because they try to study everything in depth , if they are interested , and just not be blind believers...
here in india we do all the rituals all our life time but dont try to understand the science behind it....
...back days indians didnt eaven teach fellow indians all this ...
...and the internet era is filling those lost gaps....
...sanskrit and supreme knowledge were kept a secret , accessible only to the elite...
...not distributed to the society....
thanks you Kavindra Ji for putting it so eloquently
Jeffrey Armstrong ji speaks truly about Hinduism. He is so sincere in explaining Santan Dharma.
The Cow represent Shakti both in spiritual,emotional,Mental,Physical energy! The Bull represent Shiva which means strength,determination & fighting abilty!
Both of them not only serve the human beings they also serve Nature & its products!🙏
What a great explanation by rishi maharaj❤
Thank you and thanks again Jeffrey Armstrong for this video and many others on CITTI channel. I am over 80 years age but I listen and learn. You sir make Hindu culture and philosophy understandable and clear. I am Hindu but due to my schooling in India and over fifty years as resident citizen of the US I have such a westernized mind that I understand you better than all the saffron robed preachers from India who show off their Sanskrit and make simple ideas and principles, unnecessarily complex. Again thank you sir.
Namaste sir
We the people of Bharath are thankful to you for your vast knowledge and simple teachings. How beautifully explained the Hindu beliefs and way of life.
Respect for प्रकृति is respect for God and true love for God. But, these brainwashed religious people will never understand.
They say this complex amazing world is to test human. What an absurd theory?
No, sadly they won't understand. They do still believe that the moon is a huge round rocky ball covered with sand that is magically floating up there in the sky!!!

At this, modern times this is so saddening.
The Bhagavad Gita teaches to see presence of divinity in everywhere and everyone 🙏
Islam sees God only on whom he promises 72 whores available in heaven, nothing less.
Very Devine, enlightened message from enlightened HEART.
We respect all animals which are in the Indian subcontinent. But cows were special bcos almost whatever the economic activities happened in an olden day household happened around a cow. Manure for farms, milk, butter, ghee. We treat it as our mother as it gave us milk. Ppl who had cows more than 2 were considered very well off. It's our family member. Ancient India was the most sustainable living. Everything we did we were very considerate of nature like river trees. Today we are mad reckless world who think every material is limitless. The non materialistic more nature oriented approach was bcos every man or woman in olden times were destined to get moksha not to be materialistc. Even today old ppl just be chanting gods name in a corner and just do minimum living.
Hinduism teach about climate change and global warmth so cow provides, bull works hard ploughing, carrying loads, pulling carts sending to hospirals, schools, market, universal mum and dad hence given first priority.
He who kills an OX is equal to killing a human being...ISAIAH 66v3 ( Bible quote )
What a blessed discourse 🙏🏼🕉️🙏🏼
What makes me sad is, to see that this particular talk, by Jeffery Armstrong, has only 2.1 likes. This itself, shows how much people have lost their way, in understanding the nature around us. It's true, that only the human species is destroying this beautiful planet, that will come back to bite them in the end. Let's hope that we will learn to acknowledge and accept all that is around us and respect other life forms with more humility.
Indeed very wise understanding 🙏
Beautifully explained. I’m going to play this video to my son whom I am raising as a lacto-vegetarian and helping him to find his spirituality.

Very well explained 🙏🏻
Awesome video and brilliant explanation 👏
Namaskar Kavindraji! 'Kamdhenu' is revered as a mother.
Trees,water ,earth ,air all play a role.
Great and appropriate. Well said
Great presentation .
Namaste. From India.
Such a nice discourse, lot's of things to be learnt from
What a powerful presentation. Hope - Humans are still sensible to understand this
Jeffrey-ji, so beautifuly put it together. I'm in owe 🙏 I think, those of us who revere what you have explained, it is refreshing and strengthening our understanding but will it affect the hard-hearted? Those who have made a mission to denigrate Snatana Dharma over centuries, have done such a good job that it will take quite some time to undo it all. It is keeping this in mind, it is very important for the tireless work of Jeffrey-ji and others like him. All I can say is thank you Jeffrey-ji 🙏 Parmatma app ko orr shakti deh.
Amazing knowledge … thank you !
Jai Hind 🇮🇳
Jai Sanatan 🕉️🚩
Beautifully explained
Thank you and much Love from the Philippines.❤
Shri kavindra Rishi ji
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Pranaam ! Dhanyawaad !
Acharya ji, you described it very well🙏
Nomoskar Sir Jeffrey jee... The way you explaining so simple and so clear 🙏 🙏🙏, You and Sadguru jee is really so special , Really Great
Jeffrey Armstrong really explains well as to why cows are respected in India.
Cows are peaceful animals, that have given people of Bharat milk freely for thousands of years. If an Indian father had no money to buy food for his wife, children and parents, if he kept a cow, his family would not starve. This is how for thousands of years, the ancestors of the people of India and also Pakistan and Bangladesh and Afghanistan survived. Because our ancestors survived due in no small part thanks to cows milk, we exist today.
The respect we give to cows, is just awesome, fantastic and it highlights a humbleness and gratefulness. If another human did so much for us and our family, we would be eternally grateful to them.
Jeffery Armstrong - Thank you x 3, nothing could better than your explanation.
awesome Sir:)
🙏JaiMa🙏JaiSaiRam🙏JaiJaffery🙏AumNamahShivay🙏
Explained really well sir.
Trees for Air ; Rivers for Water & Cows for Milk & agriculture (plough the land )
Awesome speech
Jeffrey Armstrong / Thank you for a wonderful explanation of why Indian's worship the Cow.
Hope people understand vaidic/Sanatan Dharm vasudaivkutumb.
And hope we as Indians preach and follow before we ask other people to understand.
@@vishvish8549 even today DHARM is live bcoz of Dharm palaks (followers) bastered majhabs/religions are on lure with good words and convert.
Simply beautiful, superb! I thought only some of us really understand these creations of God as divine. I bow down to you for your profound understanding of our Sanatan culture. Probably now some people will understand why we don't eat meat and believe in no harm to animals and nature.
Our beloved expression of "Beauty .. Love..Truth" otherwise "Wisdom"
That's my address to you Kavindra Rishi.
Can't use terms like Sir...
My joy reverence has no bounds....no words.
Please accet my Pranams.
I'm just amazed by your knowledge on Hinduism. Its great seeing your unbiased respect for nature. This has nothing to do with any particular religion. There is only one religion on the planet. Which is, living in harmony with all the species that have an equal right to live on mother earth.
Truly inspiring namaste 🙏
Thank you for the great informations given to us with excellent examples given based on cows,water, trees etc. to keep the human kept alive. Sir I am a Hindu but never thought about these things you explained now nor about my religion or our Hindu civilization I belong. Namaste sir for your good valuable informations . May God Bless you and your wonderful family.
Thank you! This message so so powerful!
Thank u Ravinderji for putting out these ancient truths so simply but so effectively.
My pranams to u!
Kavindra Ji, thank you for another beautiful session with you...very insightful message...🙏🙏🙏
For it was said in The Life of Brian, "Blessed are the cheesemakers." This, though, is not meant to be taken literally but rather to refer to any manufacturers of dairy products.
I love your smiling face
And style of speaking
Absolutely divine knowledge shared here which has been propogated by Vedas for centuries.
Thank you for explaining so beautifully about the importance of all beings including the animals , plants , trees etc. Hindu religion respects the products of mother nature.
Thanks for explaining Hinduism. Hindu way of life came naturally to us. We never felt we had to do any rituals , except bath, pick-up school bag , have some milk and go to school. If we passed by temple we bowed down our heads a little and kept walking. Compassion was very important of growing up, discouraged to step on creeping crawling things on road, that insect may be carrying food for its babies a waiting at home, no morals preached , long lectures about right or wrong, I am very old now, and to this day l am not able to step on small pests that tend to get into the house somehow. Smocking them out appears better way to get rid of them.. survival has become such a big issue being companionate sounds like being cowardly.
Heartfelt thanks, we have a lot to learn from you
Namaskar Armstrong ji. A great & profound talk indeed. Simple, clear and appealing. If so called civilisations don't wake up now, nature may intervene in its own way to cleanse the creation of evils. Looking forward to next episode.
Kalki avatar?
🙏🏼
You are so right sir....your videos are great knowledgeable and I like your talks....
These are life giving gifts from our earth.We repect all that and more.
Learned one more chapter in my life thanks Guru -Rishi
Pranam beautifully explained
Thank you. So well said. Namaste.
Well done guru Jee even bharat forget about their tradition you rightly said it the world is mad and going crazy
In maharashtra there is a festival called "Pola" to show gratitude to bulls also
Very well explained.
Thanks for the information👍
जय श्री राम 🚩
Well said sir.
The ghee is said to be the most essential thing in ancient bharat.
It is said to increase life energy and will help you to live longer..
I followed too much western shit that i stopped consuming ghee..
Now I'm back at my Dharma, ❤
Jai shree ram.
Great
You are wonderful 😍
We worship creations of god and not just some imaginery thing sitting above us...we create heaven on earth because of respecting creations of god.
I used to feel ashamed in front of my muslim or christian friends to think that I'm an idol worshipper, venerates cow, do not eat beef, prays to river, sun, etc. It used to create a feeling of negativity. After going through this, I feel rejuvenated; I'm no longer ashamed.
Thanks!
It's true 😞
