8:09 : The word "BHARAT" is derived according to Puranas and Itihasas
9:42 : Why do the people of the south of India pronounce certain nouns in a different way than people of the north of India pronounce them in a different way?

23:05 : Gyana yoga, Karma yoga, Nurthya yoga and Bhakati yoga
25:43 : How do we see the oneness in Puranas and Itihasas? are they connected? or are they different? Connection between Ramayana and Mahabharat.
44:15 : Q&A: If Bharat was a better administrator during the exile of Rama for 14 years. why do we glorify Rama Rajyam, not Bharata Rajyam?
50:27 : Q&A: Ravana did not touch Sita?
52:33 : Q&A: Vedavyasa Valmiki says Rama is the epitome of gratefulness. He killed Ravana but not crow which actually harmed Sita. It was his duty to kill Ravana anyways, why is he still called grateful?
54:22 : Q&A: As you said Puranas and Etihasas are correlated both should go together. Similarly, there is an argument that Smrithi shastra and Sruthi Shastra are independent and they can't be correlated together. How can we correlate? Many of them have no correlation?
58:36 : Q&A: In modern era, people have gone away from Sanatana dharma and adopting or moving towards western culture. How can we motivate people to Santana dharma volunteerly?

1:11:05 : Q&A: In Recent times, Many writers on Ramayana and Mahabharat found bit more distorted from the original form. can you suggest an authentic English translation for me?
1:15:30 : Q&A: Many characters in Ramayana like Hanuman, Laxmana, Vibhishan, etc., and Mahabharat like Arjun, Yudistira, etc., What we see extremely struck with their values,
they followed sincerely. it seems very nice to hear but when we try to implement we face all sorts of difficulties in the world.
1:21:56 : Q&A: Ramayan is a story plotted by Valmiki. if I start writing a book that will be true after hundred years. So this is a story and these are characters.
1:27:12 : Q&A: Shambuka was killed because of the rule of Rama for performing Penance. Rama has obliged to that rule and he killed. If this rule was in existence even before Rama. Who brought this rule? Why was this decided upon? Why did Rama agree to follow this inequality?

83 wow. you are older than my grandma sir. appreciate your inquisitive nature at this age
Shri Dushyanth Sridhar Ji is great and really humble 🙏👏👏 as usual. The name itself Dushyant is father of the "Bharata". Great subject "Jaya Jaya Bharata" 🇮🇳🙏✌️
It is my good fortune that I got this knowledge by listening. 🙏🙏🕉
Knowledge par excellence
Amazing lecture to ponder on.
Namaskara to the speaker
Won’t it be more appropriate if the organisers and student volunteers attend such programs, wearing traditional attire? Certainly, a tie looked too colonial for vande mataram. I am happy to record that I saw more people in dhotis while attending Sai Deepak’s program more recently.
Wonderful session learnt lot 🙏
Excellent discourse. Next should be Dr.Vikram Sampath and Dr.Ananda Ranganathan.....
EXCELLENT LECTURE!
Truly lucid explanation.
Excellent
So inspiring and so true!! Sai Deepak I really admire your intellect. Commitment and nationalism!!
He is not sai deepak... Read the caption again
He is Dushyanth Sridhar..
Namaskaram Sri Dushyant. It is a pleasure to listen to you and your clarity of expression is commendable. Just wanted to point out one small suggestion. Do not refer to Antahpuram as Harem. I am sure you will get the context of what I am saying.
Amazing 👏👏👏
Extraordinary
Beautiful✨
IIT are the best institutions that produced many ceo's and top techies
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Misunderstanding leads to away from the right path So becareful while believing any of spoken words
I liked the prayas this song used to sing by my mom in original form which was composed by Pannalal Ghosh for long time I am searching why this is not not sung by our singers which is our national song and previously aired and radio station ie Akashasbani is always started with this song and now our great music composer mimic it as vandematram ma tuje salam and it is popular as vandematram I am surprised why we allow this type of adulteration with our national song? Now you youth should go forward with our heritage but not by Arabic adulteration...
Because some people believe ,"ma tujhe salam "will sound more inclusive
Many r writing.
Ramayana.....which r getting distorted..suggest correct one.
Gita press
MN DUTT for mahabaratha
Ganguly for mahabaratha
Right book to read
1933yr Madras
RT honble Srinivasa sastri
Lectures on Ramayana
Female voice for ' Vandemataram ' singing was not in Shruthi n difficult to listen to
It is my request to all youth please forward to the state Sanskrit should be our national language
Please do not add "am" to Mahabharata and Ramayan. This is not correct in Samskrut.
Dushyant sridar is not clear to the first question.he is trying to manage
OMG lighting the lamp with a Goddamn candle really!
Get a musician for national anthem for crying out loud!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
IIT it is kuch lajja hai
English pronunciation to theek karo
You are IITians... take pride not show arrogance... accept what I do!
At least the speaker is well versed...!!!
Agreed. Details matter the most. Westerners r very good at this. But we pick up only their bad habits like drinking/smoking etc. 😂
What are your worthy qualities ?
