🙏Namaskar 🙏 Yu are so Great. Im actually very greatful for yur videos. I come from Shia Muslim family. But for personal reasons. I chose to come yo Hinduism. I kinda feel unfortunate that i missed out on a Hindu upbringing. And didnt have oppurtunity to learn much from Hindu practice & beliefs. Ive earnestly been trynna make up for it best i can. And not having any Hindu friends in person....i am my own source of motivation to pursue 🕉 Hinduism. I specifically choaen the Shiva/Shakti path And im currently studying Tirumantirum english translation. I been watching the white Sadhu ..Swami Satyananda Saraswati on UA-cam for lessons on puja in English as well as other Swamis and Gurus . i am blessed to have found Hinduism . i just pray more that not only did i find it....but that ive been invited. Thankyu so much for every video yu post avout Hindu topics.💞🙏
Wow . You are reading thirumanthiram. Beautiful beautiful poetry. Did you decide on a guru ? Check out Chinmaya mission or Ramakrishna mission near you. Om Namath shiva ya
You should be so proud man, this is a service you're doing to people like me (young americans/Hindus who live in Christian majority countries) and these videos are amazing. Hoping for some new ones soon!
It is wonderful to find young people like you who cares so deeply for his root and tries to understand and, have the ability to explain so clearly what this great ancient culture is about. This timeless tradition is simply a way of life - observing one's own righteousness - Sanatan darma! Great work! Wish you all the best in your quest my dear. Namaskar 🙏
I love the inner change and peace doing puja brings me. However I sadly admit to not doing it every day. I need more self discipline but I do feel it when I do it.
Spending this time seeing this video is performing bhakti. You could have done many other none productive things but you chose to watch this, so don't be so hard on yourself bro.
Wa Bhaiya...Amazing work as always...well thought out...great content...May Mother Saraswati continue to shower blessings upon you with this simple genius of content you have come forth with
Spreading your video and msg everywhere.... Before listening to you I was confused as to how I should proudly say I am a hindu without sounding like an extremist.. But now I know... I don't have to bother what other people think instead practice and preach what I believe in... I am a born हिंदू and live in India 🇮🇳... Glad I found you and your channel ☺
The more dangerous ones are those who out of laziness say we are spiritual but not religious hence we don't belive in rituals. The reality is sheer laziness. Pooja is a ritual requiring some discipline and tKes some time. Hence people don't want to do it. Some youngsters feel its not cool and they just don't know why a lamp is lit. I cannot do with out lighting a diya. I keep doing it throuout a day and say the mantra 'shubhankaroti kalyanam aarogyam dhanasampada, shatrubuddhi vinashaya, deepad jyoti namostute'.
Honestly i thought the Spiritual. Ones are the ones who do the Pujas willingly with eagerness & amd pomp.. Earnestly savoring the sweetness of devotion. Religious people are the ones who justbdo the pujas without any care or interests in rhe meanings of the puja. They just do it. Cuz its traditiin only.. That is the difference between Spiritual & Religious.
Thank you for this! I'm new to Hinduism and I often feel like the lost friend example, expect that I put myself into that situation lol. I love what I have learned so far but I often feel there's just so much. Thank you again
thank you very much for these videos... i am a trinidadian hindu raised in america and have not been able to properly worship in many years. your videos have helped me with a lot of my cultural confusion. every diwali i feel most at peace when i am giving offering. i hope one day you return to youtube and dispose more wisdom and education about the caribbean hindu lifestyle.
He is spot on about the importance of pujas. It brings awareness and calms the mind. This helps to clarify the maya that clouds the atman that is within each of us. I watched and loved this video but initially forgot to hit LIKE. Remembered that and came back to hit like :)
I'm an American Shakta, and puja plays a huge role in my life. I have been practicing Sanatana Dharma for about 2 years, and it has changed my life. I so deeply revere Indian culture, history, and traditions. I am quite sure I was Indian in a past life, I just feel such a deep and genuine connection to it. When I began studying Hinduism, everything just clicked. You know the Truth when you hear it, and everything made complete sense to me. Thank you for this video. I'm subbing! 😁💖🙏
Hi Shawn, Good video ... But you missed out an important aspect. Puja is basically paying respects to the deity. If you see any Hindu Puja, the actions involved (like Aarti-welcoming by fire sort of; Prasad-offering food; sometimes even Washing feet, etc) are very similar to how you would treat an honoured guest, or say your king who is visiting your home, or you are visiting his/her home (i.e. temple). Sadly, this way of welcoming guests now one only sees in traditional stuff like weddings, or in Bollywood movies (like say Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum's SRK welcoming scene etc). So, Hindus are basically honouring their beloved ancient king/queen. It might be that we incur some good karma from Puja, but unlike Abrahamics, where the more and harder you "pray", the more are the chances of you getting heaven, there is no such thing in Hinduism. Karma determines future suffering/happiness in Hinduism, unlike Abrahamics where "prayer" determines. Also, this is why temples in Hinduism are NOT considered congregation places for the "faithful to pray", but houses of diety (even legally I think).
Where r u man... where did u go Shawn...u stopped posting , been checking ur channel ever since... come back ... waiting for ur videos.... take care ☺️
This needs 10 times the views. I think there has been a reactionary stance against puja or ritual. It may be considered as a superstitious practice, but that is a shame. Because we might not initially understand a ritual does not mean we should reject it or dismiss it. Puja is very powerful.
@@outcomeled you are blessed soul just checked your subscribed channel list its outstanding. I think you can get required knowledge from those channel. If u need any further info you can me Radhe krishna 🙏
I love the work your doing, keep it up,here in the UK can you believe we have only Temple here with a Caribbean "flavour" the others are very shut off and have a habit of making us West Indian hindus/regardless of our mix feel like outsiders
Please make more videos to educate foreigners. I beg you 🙏. Your dedication and quality of videos are top notch and it should be addressed to common people
Hi there, it's 19:40 on Saturday in the UK, I've only just stopped crying, and I've sat on a chair with the assanyu and the few puja items I bought. To the best of my ability I am trying to begin but I still do not know the correct or tailored things to say or do. I hate myself. I end up just praying in Englia. I am unable to visit a mandir. I'm a lone living, seriously struggling, chronically ill, in debt, British born but full Indian female Hindu, non driving, council flat dwelling individual whose parents never taught me anything, and at 26, almost 27, I still have no degree, no full time job, no car, my body did not even develop, I have widespread skin disease, the town I live in is fully Muslim populated with the odd English person here and there. I have nobody and I am not coping. The only person I talk to is myself and I remember and speak to Bhagwan cluelessly. Brother please please please help me to find the correct practise for myself with clear guidance. I truly do want to become a proper and better Hindu as simoly being born Indian Hindu is not enough. Sorry I am sharing so much but I am in a very desperate situation and I deserve a better life. I will look forward to your reply. Thank you in advance.
Hi bro from india. Very nice to see you talking about hindu. We have many missions through which we already have presence in everywhere hare rama hare krishna we reached wven ghana also.
historically sikhs also preformed puja its also mentioned guru granth sahib ji but neo sikhs have deleted it I request my hindu brothers to safeguard this beautiful ritual
@@HinduLifestyle bro some people are claiming that you converted . I'm sure this is utter rubbish and is anything wrong in your family then Please respond we want to know the reason plss bro
Hey bro , greetings from Uttar Pradesh , india , I'm from Varanasi , the religeous capital of the hindus , you're welcome here dear , you know much more of our religion than we know , but are you vegetarian ? Are hindu temples also present Toronto and other parts of Canada too , and do nom hindus also visit those temples ??
Also pls can you a a video on how our mantras which are in Sanskrit-possibly the most logical/scientific language and the effect of pronouncing, listening and be exposed to mantras when they are pronounced correctly....even the way the alphabets in Sanskrit follow a logical way the voicebox, larynx, tongue etc move to verbalise this ancient but rich language. 🙏🙏🙏
Puja is a powerful spiritual practice. As every spiritual practice of any religion or spiritual path it is a means to reach the inner realm of the Self or God or Unitiy. So all these different spiritual practices finally merge into one practice into that One inner state. In this state every thought is a prayer, each action becomes a worship of the divine One consciousness, which in essence we all are and ever have been.
U have explained it very well, more people needs to understand this, there are some peoples on youtube says they dont do puja as it is not written in ved and they try to impose it on other people, i dont know either they r doing it for a purpose or they dont know about it, people should listen to their own heart, and think it logically that a various complex rituals (puja) practised from begginig of human civilization cant be fake or misinterpreted, there are various reason to its but instead of listening to their mind they go on following peoples with so called facts, hinduism is not bonded by any text or books its free from beleifs nd alll hinduism is about seeking not abt imposing any ideas or philosophy,
