Sanatan Dharma is not about one book, one man, one command. It is a philosophy that afford freedom to choose your path from among many to realise the Supreme truth. And it's about respect for life,liberty of thought n nature in all its forms.
Certainly Gurudev who has dedicated his own entire life to Vedic Sanatan Dharma, expresses the true vedic spirit in his translation of "The Bhagavad Gita comes alive". If one is truly a seeker, truly yearns for the truth, Gurudev Kavindra Rishi's radical and truthful translation of the Gita will change anyone's life once and for all. The Gita itself is not even a book, it is a conversation, between us (Arjun) and the Beloved (Prabhu Shree Krishna/Brahmaan/Supreme Reality) who is telling us how to come back home. This verse from the Bhagavad Gita with Jeffrey ji's translation alone has struck the cords of my heart. Shrimad Bhagavad Gita Chapter 5 Shloka 29 BHOKTĀRAM YAJÑATAPASĀM SARVALOKAMAHEŚVARAM SUHRDAM SARVABHŪTĀNĀM JÑĀTVA MĀM ŚĀNTIM RCCHATI One who experiences Me as the eater of what is offered in a yajna; one who feels Me as the fire in the body that burns away impurities while performing tapasya; one who sees Me as the ultimate ruler of all the planets in the universe; and one who knows Me as the one who is seated in the heart of all living entities, desiring only what is best for them; that person finally reaches Me and achieves the delightful and harmonious state of shanti.
Christians out of Bharat are freely converting to Sanatan Dharma. If Indian Christians are converting to Sanatan Dharma, they are going back to their ancestral roots. It's called Ghar Wapasi. The same applies to Ex-Muslims.
@@dannys69 There is a famous South Indian actress named Nayanthara. I wonder if you're into movies. Anyway she was a Christian earlier but now she is a Hindu. So if celebrities can convert back why can't common people do ? I'm saying "converted back" because all the people who are Indian from their ancestry were Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Jain, etc. and a few were tribal from the Nort-Eastern part of India and were converted to Christianity And I've come across people who were Christian in India but converted back to Hinduism ( Hindu converts ), Sikhism ( from Punjab ), Buddhism ( they were facing discrimination even in the Christian religion ) And with all due respect, there is nothing special in Christianity. There is devotion right ? Mostly all religions have a flavor of devotion in their religious practices and beliefs And what's more ? Western Christians shouting "Jesus loves you" all the time to cause inconvenience to people. If that is the thing then people will definitely leave Christianity And that is what is happening in the West too as reports say. I'm not saying if it's good or bad. I'm no one to comment on these things But European Christians are leaving Christianity and becoming increasingly non-religious either atheist or agnostic. Also USA was over 90% Christian back in 1950s. Today the Christian share is around 63% and atheist share is more than 20%. I'm talking about the USA So just be careful about the status of your own religion before you try to bring down another
@@Nattapong69 my friend, there isn’t any "ultimate" truth. It’s just perspective. Something might work for you, while something different might work for another person. It’s all about choice. My family is a Hindu family. Iam practice Sanatan Dharma. But that doesn’t stop me from celebrating Christmas with my Christian friends or occasionally going to a church. I don’t understand why Abrahamic cultures are so adamant about not being a part of other cultures or experiencing them. Many of my Christian and muslim friends deny eating the parshad from temples or even from my home. This hate needs to stop somewhere. Remember, pride is one of the seven sins that Satan wants humans to commit. And having pride in your culture is not a good thing. Be at peace with your culture and let others be at peace with theirs. Spread love, not religion.🙏

Naman to Kavindra Rishi ji for another interesting video. The more people will tilt toward vedic civilizational values, the more livable the world would be. The world is full of greedy, violent and selfish people. Vedic knowledge is eternal dharma that teaches peace and harmony with nature. This is not against the true meaning of the modern science as the modern science itself is developed from Vedas.
If people only realized this one shloka from the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, from Jeffrey ji's translation "The Bhagavad Gita comes alive", none of them would happen.

Why not. There is no coercion, threat, allurement. When the questions of the conscience is answered to one's satisfaction and is convinced there is no stopper.
None can get converted to Sanatana Dharma. Only because SD is in a much higher plane and are much more deeper and rich and beyond human science comprehension. One can only raise ones soul to that level , where your religious ideologies becomes meaningless, be it any religion including Hinduism as seen as a religion if one does.

Actually now Christianity and Islam have changed their story as usual. They are connecting their timeline ancient Egyptian and claiming that both these religions are as old as humanity itself. 😂😂. Also they are giving alternative explanations for karma and rebirth like a lot of Christians who go to heaven ask to be sent back to earth. The cult like followers like this but some intelligent Christians know it is not true and gave accepted karma and rebirth,
Sanatana Dharma is the true Mother of Humanity , We need to bring back all the Spiritual knowledge contained in the Vedas and teach it in our Schools to connect us to our lost Divinity and create a Golden Age of Peace and Love ! God is Love Love is God We are not different from God !
Namaste Gurudev! I am reading carefully your brilliant work "The Bhagavad Gita comes alive" Indeed such a simple, flowing English, not tiring someone, yet preserving all Sanskritic key words, giving the full message of Prabhu Krishna's message to humanity. To say it is a gift to us is not sufficient dear Gurudev. If people only read and reread and contemplate only on this Gita, let alone if they add other editions in Indic languages which I am sure convey also deep meanings, and let alone being able to access directly in Sanskrit, it changes your life. Through your work you are changing my life dear Gurudev! Gita comes alive, to make our dead hearts and minds awakened and the veil of our illusions and ego to vaporize and realize who we truly are and the Ultimate Reality. And unlike all "holy" or "religious" book this is indeed a song, philosophy, poetry, and above all a conversation between us as humans with the Beloved with Prabhu Krishna/Brahmaan, our atma finding its own way home. Thank you Gurudev Kavidra Rishi, Jeffrey Armstrong ji!
The good thing is that the Sanatana Dharma allows one to have their own ‘Ishta-Devata’ and Jesus could be just that, yet they can practice the Dharmic practices, accept the idea of Karma, Dharma,reincarnation and cyclical timeline !
You cannot have an asura "ishta-devata" that hates yoga, meditation, pranayama, qigong, astrology, traditional medicine, and all dharma religions. The Abrahamic God/Gods seek world domination and the destruction of contemplative religions. When are Hindus going to stop their "radical universalism" and finally start competing with the Abrahamic religions in the market place of ideas?
Science is not able to explain the consciousness as a part of the perishable body. The Hard Problem of Consciousness as they call it. They are increasingly moving to the concept that consciousness is different from the brain and mind and thought. Which actually what Vedanta is saying all along. Maybe sometime it will become accepted theory and hope Hinduism survives till then
Ok Sir, maybe Indian Christians are reverting back to Hinduism but I'm seriously tired of people claiming that "Vedas have scientific concepts" Please leave this misconception
I am glad that your podcast has improved in the last few months because Some of your podcasts were awful especially the one praising Obama as the greatest genius As they say you cannot help growing wiser as you get older
Jesus loves you and in him alone we have forgiveness and redemption of lost…. Bible has the history from the beginning…. India is in the Bible…. We have more practices from Bible in Hinduism… like the layout of temple we have today…. It’s more about an experience than all facts

I am very proud of my Indian culture and my motherland… just don’t believe anything blindly….
all religions are outdated. now is time for every to convert to humanity as defined by osho and similar gurus who defy religion to define and practise humanity.
The Christians world wide who are devotees of Sri Sathya Sai Baba of Puttaparthi have been greatly influenced by His teachings, the main reason for which is His exposition and interpretation of the entire gamut of ancient Indian spiritual records produced in Sanskrit such as Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana, Mahabharat, etc.
Science came from the Greek who imported some science from the Babylonians and the Egyptians. The Greeks under Alexander the "Great" came to India. Some few old Indian sources report the Greeks only having two castes, but importing their "science" (which is astrology). After that, the Indians also developed some science. Zero was invented by the Indians, but negative numbers were invented in the late medieval Europe. It is *_that_* fresh.
