    Nice Lecture but Biblical Abraham was born in 2nd millennium bce when Hinduism was flourishing in India. Brahman is not a mystery word, it comes from Sanskrit root Bhr which means "to fill" or " to expand" or "to grow" and Man means quality, So, Brahman means Being that is All pervading. Hilarious if you think Hindus whose Kali Yuga starts from 3102 BCE are descendants of someone from 2000 bc, In fact there are enough evidence a Hindu branch migrating in West Asia like Hitties and Mittanis, So chances of Jews being descendants of Hindus is more realistic.

    On the topic of "caste" I recommend Abijhat Chavda at Ask Abijhat. He dispels many post-WW2 Truth Embargo fallacies especially about India and in general. On caste he discusses how Western and Marxist historians have tainted even Indians understanding their own subcontinental identity. Before India's "Millennium Of Humiliation" from Turkish and European conquest and cultural purging and reprogramming (library burning seems pretty tried and true in the pursuit of reinforcing the 'Plato's cave' "one lifetime ever" propaganda against reincarnation). Apparently, before the past Millennium of Humiliation India had tremendous flexibility and social mobility before the different-- "identity streams" might be more apt- were solified in image of the European model of John Smith raises Tom Smith to be a smith, run a smithy till they die no exemption (I'm exaggerating of course- it seems the imposition was much stricter than the model). Also India had no slavery before the MOH (I assume criminal labor is an exception) and gender norms were extremely equal-- for example I guess 30 something of the Rg Veda hymns' were authored by females-- and at that probably world class Einsteins for the ages like Sappho of Lesbos and (was it?) Hypatia. Also apparently the bulk of the Renaissance (and Newton''s creativity) was due to a heavy uncredited mining of Dharmic legacy. (Hmm I wondered if Swedenborg ever swung his gaze toward mining Dharmic wisdom truth and science).

    This is known by astronomical references in the text.

Jewish people worshipped a God named Baal who was Canaanite-Phoenician God of fertility and weather, specifically rainstorms. But of course, you can find Egyptians followed Sanatan Dharma 3000 to 8000 years ago. Lord Ram existed 8000 years ago. You can find carvings of Ramayan in Egyptian ancient architecture and pyramids. Don't forget, the solar Dynasty of Lord Ram extended to Russia, Europe, Middle East, Africa and also in the Americas.

Every civilization has gone through it be it a relegious civilization like Judaism or a Dharmic civilization like Indian civilisation..
      Problem of a monothestic hateful genocidal ideology was born in Israel after the genocide of Medinite Israeli were its first victims and they still continue to suffer!!
      A monothestic personalised Israel specific ideology of Moses and the Israel centered God is the basis of all Abrahmic ideology. It was appropriated by the European Christians and Arab Muslims and as they run amuck with this ideology they brought about the destruction of civilisations followed by destruction of vast anthropological wealth. Relegion and spirituality from being a natural evolutionary phenomenon was transformed into a political and military tool. Today we are capable of understanding the phenomenon, the mechanics, the science of relegious and cultural evolution. Hence, we should be capable enough to use it for the betterment and sustainability of our society and environment..
      But unfortunately, it is not happening since we are not taught the science of religion and its philosophy, but we are taught to follow the religion in our schools and universities we are taught to hate people on the basis of their relegious affiliation.. On the other hand, under communist rules, people must give up their natural, relegious instincts, which is absolutely absurd and unnatural..

    I am Brahmin hindu but
    Caste discrimination is rooted not in religion but culture. Caste was an ancient system of occupational class delineated in Hindu texts that over the years developed into a rigid social hierarchy. The lowest castes, or untouchables, were marginalized and faced persecution. Caste-based discrimination is not intrinsic to Hinduism and should not be thought of as religiously sanctioned. the poorer workers involved in 'unclean' occupations such as sweeping or leather work were historically segregated and banished outside the city limits. Over time, personal cleanliness came to be identified with "purity", and the concept of untouchability eventually spread to the rural areas. Manusmriti text was never implemented as a law code in ancient India. The caste system as it exists today is the result of developments during the rise of the British colonial government in India. The British Raj furthered this development, making rigid caste organisation a central mechanism of administration. By 1860 the British formulated the caste system into their system of governance, granting administrative jobs and senior appointments only to Christians and people belonging to certain castes.

    Sanatana Dharma (The Eternal Way) is actually older than than Judaism. What's more likely is the observation that in Sanatana Dharma, the trimurti is Brahma, the Creator of the Universe, Vishnu, the Preserver, and Shiva, the Destroyer. 99+% of all temples in India are either in dedication to Vishnu or all his Avatars, and Shiva. With the exception of 1 or 2 temples in all of India are dedicated to Brahma. Abraham started the religion praising the creator, Brahma, whereas, in India remained Vishnu and all his Avatars, Ram, Krishna, etc. and the Shivaites who worship Shiva. No one really praises Brahma, the creator, in India as much as Vishnu and Shiva. Another point you might want to consider is Abraham is similar to Brahma in sound, his wife Sara, is a shortened form of Brahma's consort, SARAsvati. Two rivers in ancient India, names were Swarasvati and Ghaggar.....sound familiar Efraim? Abraham's concubine, Hagar. Swarasvati and Ghaggar were closely located.......The idea of ONENESS has always been a part of the Vedas (pronounced VAY-DAAS, not VEE-DAS) in particular the Rig Veda, where there is no image of the all present, omniscient, the omnipotent......tat tvam asi......
    Jews death mourning is known as SHIVA, (the number 7), what a coincidence? The Jews use the very word of the God of Destruction/Death, as their days of mourning....of all the words, you picked Shiva? Very similar....
    Btw, thank you for pointing out that the numbers were Hindu numerals, the Arabs, stole and plundered India and made took credit for it.....Neil Degrass Tyson, erroneously speaks misinformed of the "Golden Age of Islam", actually math and astronomy stolen from India.....just like by Filius of Bonacci, who wrote the Liber Abaci, who studied Vedic/Indic mathematics and introduced the Venetian Bankers to the concept of Hindu numeral systems and ZERO to do mathematics, which freed them from the abacus.....he also introduced the Europeans to a sequence that bares his name, a sequence, the Fibonacci Sequence was present in Vedic/Indic math.....Pingala and Hemachandra Indian mathematicians that used the sequence for their Sanskrit poetry/music creation......

    To claim that the ' Brahmn ' of Vedic Dharma and the prophet Abhaham are the same is foolish and very insulting . The belief that two similar sounding words from different languages indicate to the same thing is just silly . The word comes from the Sanskrit verb root brh, meaning “to grow”. Etymologically, the term means “that which grows” (brhati) and “which causes to grow” (brhmayati). This unique conception has not been replicated by any other religion on earth, and is exclusive to Hinduism. Thus to even call this conception of Brahman “God” is, in a sense, somewhat imprecise. This is the case because Brahman does not refer to the anthropomorphic concept of God of the Abrahamic religions. When we speak of Brahman, we are referring neither to the “old man in the sky” concept, nor to the idea of the Absolute as even capable of being vengeful, fearful or engaging in choosing a favorite people from among His creatures. For that matter, Brahman is not a “He” at all, but rather transcends all empirically discernible categories, limitations and dualities....Sorry sir The teachings of Dharma did not come from your prophet Abraham .

      We should be more thoughtful when making parallels between Hinduism and Judaism. Hinduism is older, it follows that Judaism may be created from Vedism by the initial imput of patriarch Abraham (अब्रह्म अस्मि). See my comment above concerning the matter.
      The root बृह् (1P) to grow, expand, is relevant to what Abraham did later. Be also aware that the present active of बृह् is ब्रंहति, while the causative present active is ब्रंहयति.
      We should not be much surprised that the original Judaism emanated from the Vedic spirituality including relevant etymological data.

    First of all this is a fascinating video tackling in depth the affinities between Judaism and Hinduism.
    I may add some interesting ideas to the topic.
    The Jewish word "yehudi" (from Yehuda) is related to the Sanskrit word "hotar" (होतर्) the priest chanting the Rg Veda (ऋग् वेद), the highest Veda. The "hotar" is the vocative case of the word "hotr" (होतृ), while "ye" is in this case a prefix meaning "those". The presence of "u" vowel in the word "yehudi" is consistent with the vowel gradation system in Sanskrit when in this case the vowels "u" (either short or long), the "o", or "au" (! that is a diphthong) may replace each other in related words as per specific rules.
    Thus a "yehudi" is a priest of highest grade, an idea consistent with the concept that one day the entire nation becomes a nation of priests.

    Hinduism being older than Judaism pertains to the idea that Jews are descendents from Vedic people through their patriarch Abraham, considering the followings.
    Abraham's original name was Avram/ Abram, later on becoming Abraham, Abrama+aham आब्राम अहम् i.e. "I am Abrama". The word Abrama is close to Brahma ब्रह्मा. Interesting to mention here that god Brahma's wife is Sarasvati, while Abraham's with is Sara.
    The very name of G-d in Hebrew is yehova, resembling the Sanskrit ye+huva ये हुवा, "whoever cries", the deity being that towards the acts of crying are performed.
    Later on Judaism was influenced by the old Egyptian language (kemetic), and avestan, etc., but the original imprint was kept.
    There is also a unique parallel between Hinduism and Judaism concerning the power of words. Hinduism believe that devanagari देवनागरी is the holy language, while Judaism considers Hebrew as holy (see Sefer Yetzirah book written by Abraham).
    The current alliance between India/ Bharat and Israel makes sense.

      We treated these powers/ energies as God so that we respect them & not think of destroying the nature for our selfish benefits & materialistic lifestyle.

    Thank you for your information . But two most ancient languages on this planet are Tamil and Sanskrit . Tamil is the oldest on planet Earth and ancient Sanskrit language is not of this world from heavenly planetary systems . Spoken by celestial beings , demigods and Almighty Lord . Tamil is the mother language of all Semitic or Middle Eastern languages . Aramaic is derived from ancient Tamil language but they are in distant countries. Arabic and Hebrew derived from Aramaic. Few examples in Aramaic for father is "Abba" in Tamil is "Appa". In Aramaic for mother is "Emma" in Tamil is "Amma ". Many Tamil words in Hebrew Arabic and Aramaic. And few Sanskrit words in Hebrew too . Sumerians and Elamites spoke Tamil language. Elamites are grandchildren of Noah Tamils and the Jews are closely related like brothers. Also notice language similarity !! Sanskrit is the mother language of all western languages excluding Finnish, Uralic and Altaic. Greek and Latin are daughter languages to Sanskrit . Many other ancient civilizations like Assyrian, Hittites ,mitanni spoke Sanskrit . They had Indo-European names too.

    Interesting efforts to find similarities. However, it appears that Abhaham and Brahma, who was born out of Lord Vishnu, one of the trinities in Hinduism, may have been connected.
    Those priests in Hinduism are called Brahmans who meditate in ONE single force called ‘Bruhman’ or ‘Purusha’. It has nothing to do with Abraham in Judaism.
    Few genetic studies indicate that Yadavas from east india have more genetic connections with Jewish priests and it appears that Judaism was taken to Arabia by Hindus 2000 years BC..
    The Hindu concept of OnE supreme Bruhman and the omnipresence of this ONE force justifies its presence all over the universe including in living and non living existence.. It’s very advanced concept than one in Abrahamic concepts of God.
    Any ways, great to see similarities..

It is not a caste, unlike imported term by Portuguese and British. Brahamin is one of the 4 vernas, the categories based on attributes of person who then carries role in the society according. It is not by birth and Brahamin's child could become Brahamin or one of the other verna like ruling warrior verna or others like business or artisan depending on their attributes.

    In ancient times, Moses instructed the Israelites to worship a fiery serpent named Nahushtan. Interestingly, the name Nahusha is also mentioned in the Mahabharata. One of the ancestors of the Pandava brothers was named Nahusha, and he was a great king who performed many sacred rituals called Ashwamedha Yagna. Due to his meritorious deeds, Nahusha was given a temporary post to function as Lord Indra in heaven, but he made some mistakes that caused Sage Agastya to curse him. As a result, Nahusha fell to earth and turned into a large python. The word Nehushtan is similar to Nahusha, which means "the place of residence of Nahusha" in Hindi

    Abrahmic cults existence is based on cooking false theology to put its claim on everything.
    Biblical or Quranic traditions are centered around the concept of religion, It is about belief in a God and his messenger and the book as an abstract manifestation that entails distinct sets of beliefs or doctrines for the believers and their relation with non believers which is mostly based on hatred and rejection. Dharma is eternal while the religion is started by a prophet or messenger. Religion claims itself to be the reality and does not permit questioning. Biblical and Quranic religions is exclusive as it excludes others and emphasis on a single God, a Prophet or savior and a holy book which alone is the way of liberation.
    Religion applies only to human beings and not to the entire cosmos; there is no religion of electrons, monkeys, plants and galaxies, whereas all of them have their dharma their function even if they carry it out without intention.
    Dharma vs Religion/Majhab
    Indic spiritual traditions are centered around the concept of Dharma. How Dharma is different form religion? Dharma is the Duty it is the Function as per one's virtue, qualification, personal, professional and social obligations. It emphasizes on the the performance of Karma in accordance to Dharma and Rta" (Rta" It is the Cosmic Order or the fundamental principles of the operation of universe) All actions that are harmonious and in accordance to Rta" the cosmic and social order is Dharma what is not is Adharma. Dharma is universal and applicable to everyone and everything around us and as per the nature of person object time and space its methodology can vary. According to Gita Svadharma is better though difficult to practice it comprises of prescribed duties of an individual for material and spiritual fulfilment. Dharma is concerned with the basic principles of cosmic and individual existence in conformity to one's duty and nature. While karma is an action that can be either good or bad, dharma is a moral direction for karma to bear positive and auspicious fruits for oneself and those who are affected by it. Dharma has the Sanskrit root dhri, which means "that which upholds" or "that without which nothing can stand" or "that which maintains the stability and harmony of the universe." Dharma encompasses the natural, innate behavior of things, duty, law, ethics, virtue, etc. Every entity in the cosmos has its particular dharma ― from the electron, which has the dharma to move in a certain manner, to the clouds, galaxies, plants, insects, and of course, man. Man's understanding of the dharma of inanimate things is what we now call physics. Dharma provides the principles for the harmonious fulfillment of all aspects of life, including material and non material including enlightenment and liberation (moksha). Religion, then, is only one subset of dharma's scope.
    Dharma acknowledges and prescribes several paths or methodology for the attainment of the highest purpose of our existence. There are many sects, pantha or marga of Dharmic people and since Dharma is an inclusive philosophy that is continuous in nature so the right term for Dharmic philosophy and tradition is Sanatan Dharma. It prescribes many distinct paths of spiritual enhancement, enlightenment and liberation.
    Of the many religious traditons prescribed and practiced by the people of Indic Dharmic civilization there are many Paths or Margas that can be listed as follows Bodh Marg or path of Buddha, Jain Marg or path of Mahavira, Gyana marga or the path of knowledge, Karma Yoga or path of action, Dhyaan Yoga or path of meditation, Bhakti Yoga or path of devotion. spirituality practiced in its many theistic and monistic forms such as Shaivism, Vaishnavism and Shaktism. Sikhism etc. that revolved around Bhakti Marga, Gyana Marga and Karma Marga. (In true sense Indian monotheism is monism)

    thank you for representing hinduism to western world in a very respectable manner, than you for unification of humanity
    thank you from a hindu
    long live judaism, israel and hindusim .
    Hinduism is a diverse and inclusive religion that encompasses a wide range of beliefs, practices, and philosophical perspectives. It can be described as a pluralistic and democratic religion that allows for multiple paths and approaches to spirituality. Here are some aspects that contribute to the inclusive nature of Hinduism:
    1. Belief in One God: While Hinduism has a rich pantheon of deities, it also recognizes the existence of a single supreme reality or ultimate truth known as Brahman ( Dont consfuse it with Brahmin which is a varna and nowads a part of rigid caste system). This concept acknowledges the unity and oneness of the divine, similar to the belief in monotheistic religions.
    2. Philosophical Diversity: Hindu philosophy encompasses various schools of thought, such as Advaita Vedanta, Dvaita Vedanta, Samkhya, Yoga, and more. These schools present different philosophical perspectives on the nature of reality, the self, and the concept of God. This diversity allows for a multiplicity of interpretations and paths to spiritual realization.
    3. Logical Inquiry: Hindu philosophy encourages logical inquiry and rational thinking. It incorporates systems of logic and reasoning, such as Nyaya and Mimamsa, to analyze and understand the nature of reality. The pursuit of knowledge and intellectual exploration are considered valuable in Hinduism.
    4. Acceptance of Atheism: Hinduism acknowledges the possibility of atheistic viewpoints. Schools of thought, such as the Charvaka school, reject the existence of a supreme being or God. Hinduism accommodates a wide range of beliefs, including atheism, recognizing the individual's freedom to choose their spiritual path.
    5. Idol Worship: Hinduism encompasses a diverse range of practices, including idol worship. The use of idols and images in Hindu worship is seen as a means of connecting with the divine. Idols are regarded as a representation or symbol of the divine presence, allowing devotees to establish a tangible connection during their worship.
    The inclusive nature of Hinduism is often attributed to its ability to adapt, evolve, and incorporate various cultural, regional, and philosophical traditions over thousands of years. This adaptability has allowed Hinduism to embrace a multitude of practices and beliefs, providing individuals with the freedom to explore spirituality in their own unique ways.

    The 5 ingredients that you mention are called Pancha amrirta which means the 5 nectars. It is used in all installations of their deities. The sacrifice that you mention was called the ashva-medha sacrifice and the Brahmins were tested by their accuracy and purity to give the animal renewed life. Today the main sacrifice for Hindus in kali-yuga is the hari-nama yagna which translates to uttering God's holy name. Hinduism is a modern word as it does not exist in any ancient scriptures, It is called Sanatana Dharma which translates to the function of the soul. The explanation is that since water is intrinsically wet, so too the soul is intrinsically a servant of G-d. Also, the name OM is what most Hindus recite, but the rasa-tattvas, the Gaudiya Vaishnavas recite AUM which in Sanscrit is G-d, and His internal Pleasure Potency which manifested as Sita or Radha.

      Thanks! Ritual slaughter (shechita) makes the meat kosher for consumption, but it is not the same as a sacrifice. Sacrifices could only be offered in Jerusalem's Holy Temple, and when it was destroyed nearly 2000 years ago, Jews stopped offering sacrifices.

      ​​@@EfraimPalvanov The word sacrifice is a problem for it means we are giving up something. Wouldn't korban translate more appropriately as offering, for a person that made an offering became closer to HaSh-m through the act of doing teshuvah before an offering could be given or when wanting to show thanks to HaSh-m, depending on the type of offering..

      @@user-pd7il3xz5j Yes, "offering" is fine, too. "Korban" literally means "to draw closer" in Hebrew, so the purpose was indeed to draw closer to God. The English "sacrifice" comes from the Latin "sacer" which just means "holy".

    There are several several older religions than Judaism. Yall should refer to Mr. Palvanov's lecture about the Essenses Pharasees Saducees. Judasim as we know it "new". Contemporary orthodox Judaism (all branches) was not the same as the days of Moshe Rabbeinu. However there is no "religion" older than the Torah's Sheva Miztvot Benei Noach. ALL religion emerge from this one universal religion. It was not actually written down until centuries centuries later in Torah Moshe but existed orally and in mankind's heart.

    The Hindu priests only descend from one son of Keturah, named Zimran or alternatively Zambran in Sefer ha-Yashar. He had 3 sons and 1 daughter, who was the 2nd wife of Benyamin ben Yisrael/Yaakov. The brahmins descend actually from one son of Zimran and that is Avihen. Narim ben Zimran is the ancestor of the Druids, whom the Hindus consider similar to the brahmins. While the sons of Molich were known to the Greeks as the Bani Zomoles and apparently built both Mecca and Jeddah, which used to be known as Zabran, the Zahran tribe in the Hejaz descends from them, in Africa they are known as Zawaya and they have institutions called Zawiya where they basically act as muslim Levites and the town of Zambrano and the people with the surname seem to also be descended from them. India is not the only eastern nation descended from them. The Chinese descended from Shuakh and the name given to name by the Hmong peoples is Shua. There is also the Xia (pronounced Shia) dynasty, the first Chinese dynasty as well as its founder Yue the Great along with the ancient Chinese states of Shu and Chu. The Koreans, whose original name is Joseon (pronounced Cho-sahn) are descendants of Yishbak and the Japanese who are known as the Yamato and their country as Nippon are the children of Medan.

It's perfectly possible that one group of them founded a kingdom in India, but another continued traveling all the way to Korea. In fact, according to Sefer Jasher Ishbak had three sons. The founding myth of Korea mentions two tribes a Tiger tribe which became the Ba people and the Bear tribe which became the Koreans. Since only 2 tribes are mentioned it means that the one who formed Kosala already split off from the other two.

    I see from a lot of interfaith dialogues on UA-cam on Hindus and jews. There are a lot of similarities, their older temples which got destroyed in Jerusalem had the system of Offering animal as offer to the god. I have seen this mostly in temples in South India. It has been banned these days, that's one point. They also have a divine femine aspect in their religion which we call Shakti and they call her Shakina. Holi and Purim the festival of colors are celebrated on the same day. Diwali and Hanukkah both are festival of lights. Prophet Noah and Indian Manu story resembles a lot. Prophet Noah / Manu / Mnuh is buried in Ayodhya. Jesus and Moses are buried in Kashmir which was the hub of knowledge and spirituality whole of India was known as Holy Land / Punya Bhumi from time immemorial. Kashmir was the home of scholarly and enlightened saints. Prophet Moses is buried in Mount Nebu in Kashmir which corresponds with a similar name Mount Nebo in West Bank where he is claimed to have been buried. Bharat Mata the tolerant divine mother always accommodated people from all faiths here so its not a surprise that the Prophet Moses and Jesus are buried in India. Adam and Eve have a resting place in Srilanka which was part of Akhand Bharat, currently known as Srilanka. also is a land of many sufi saints who are buried in different places across India.

    Historically from very ancient times the society was one ie - Arya of which you had the Arya asuras that remained in Persia & the Arya devas of Bharat. Proof of that can be found in books like fountainhead of religion that proves linguistically the Indian origins of people's of the middle East incl. Hittites. The term Hinduism is incorrect & is a loose grouping of what is Indic dharmic faiths that would include Buddhism, sikhi, Jainism & other sub sects - the correct term is Sanathan dharma ( eternal truth ,duty) although @ 1st glance people think of the faith as having multiple God's that as well is incorrect to us there is only Brahman within that lies Maya ( illusion) of multitude. Sanathan dharma begins with 4 Vedas the rg being the oldest recorded religious scripture in the world, the last is the atharva Veda & the final step towards enlightenment is termed Vedanta & that is the Upanishads & bramha sutras. Because of its age Sanathan dharma is too long & complex to have an overall view hence we Hindus choose a path & follow that only. It has been described as a way of life , a faith for those who seek spiritual enlightenment & hence the wisdom of yogis , spiritual sciences, geometry all interlink into a very detailed complex weave that can confuse the uninitiated.

    We appreciate, You trying to find similar grounds between Judaism and Sanatana Dharma ( Hinduism?). We in India respect Judaism, and India is the only place where Jews have lived peacefully and prospered for centuries, unmolested! It is a strange irony of history that in the true land of Swastika, the Jews were protected, and the same symbol was used to oppress them elsewhere!
    But please don't try to fit Hindus and Indian civilisation within the framework of Abrahamic mythology and timelines! It is absurd and plain stupid! We have nothing to do with Abraham or Adam or Eve and all that tribal mythology! We have our own civilizational culture & traditions, Our Own creation stories, Our Dharmic ethics, Our Own theories and very evolved philosophies about God and the Universe and Our position as Humans in the scheme of things!
    There might be certain similarities in principles of both religions, but they are not the same. Also Hinduism is far older and more advanced as a religion than Judaism, which is very tribal in Outlook! Let us celebrate these two different religions / thought processes and not compare and mix them, please!
