The rise of Devdutt Pattnaik has also shown that Hindus around the world do crave to learn about their own heritage. However, Hindus have not tried to go mainstream with Hindu philosophy. We need authentic scholars teaching Hinduism properly and them have those individuals to take those ideas mainstream. Hindus need to be in pop culture and move outside the their walled in garden. Rajiv ji has inspired many to take this task on. I am happy to be in this journey.
How much time did you spend in learning any subject area? If you are willing to learn something you need to spend the time to understand the context. If you are willing to do that then you can pick up the books from Iskon or Chinmaya mission or Swami Nithyananda etc. At the age of 21 one should be of vigor, courage etc. Not some escapist
Like you said idians dont need westerners to take them down.just tell me what these people are doing here. these people says he marketed himself. then why these people are publishing videos, having gossips go and do consultation of him suggest him(DP). why you are showing this to world. coz these people also want that fame he got. talking about his comments on Gita and qualification for that who says you need qualification to read , understand and comment on Gita. You guys are making this bubble that you need qualification. simplest ans is for this ans is ua-cam.com/video/j3ZewNRaEgg/v-deo.html
I downloaded Seven secrets of Shiva written by Pattnaik during this ongoing saawan month. Thank god I came across this video. I returned that book immediately. I seriously feel Lord Shiva himself guided me to watch this particular video. He didn't want me to read the writings of this self acclaimed Puran specialist. 🙏🙏
I am an odia and I have not read the odia mahabharat myself but Mr. Pattnaik's version is not the same as what my mom had narrated to me....clearly he had his own version
Even with me. In today's era, people belive more on printed words more than oral traditions. But many eexperiences prove to me that oral tradition has its own power, whereas printed words can be distorted
@Krishna Joshi @Krishna Joshi buddy you are comparing a writer who spent most of early years reading ancient Indian mythology with this fellow who speaks shit. Have you read the original mahabharat yourself? Calling a person dud whom you don't know, whose work you haven't studied. Just because this oldie and this engineer turned writer who is self promoting his work said that devdutt Pattnaik is shit and you will believe him. 🤦🤦 You are a small kid so go run after chicks, mythology is not your piece of cake.
@@dibyendudasroy8527 he is 1st if all a Statistician and a MBA from IIM BANGALORE & VC OF CITI BANK.And listen his interview in Sanskrit given to prashar Bharati.U will understand why he is a genius.
Devdutta Patnaik exists and thrives because Indian Schools and Colleges don't teach Sanskrit as a compulsory subject (notwithstanding protests from secularists pretenders). We are also not taught Bhagvad Gita and Srimad Bhagvatam in schools and colleges! Everything cannot and should not be translated from Sanskrit to English, because Sanskrit is immeasurably a Higher Language and English can never do justice, retaining the root meaning, essence and true nature of the word and the sound!
Agree that we all should learn Sanskrit because it is one of the greatest language in the history of mankind along with Latin, Greek and Hebrew. But it is also a very complex and compound language with the highest level of aesthetics and difficult to learn for a layman like me. So until and unless we all start to learn Sanskrit it's better to translate all the masterpiece Sanskrit literary texts into English. This is the only way we can propagate the beauty and message of Sanskrit to the rest of the world. Personally, I have learned a lot from different English translations, interpretations and exegesis of Bhagavad Gita and Kautilya's Arthashastra (reading Bhagavad Gita and Kautilya's Arthashastra itself is a great educative experience).
Its not about schooling .For writing a book you need a lot of research work.For your information a lot of sanskrit scholars are present in Indian universities as well as abroad who are accepting his views rather than this engineer who himself is doing the same thing ,writing books.
Thank you for stopping me to make a big mistake of buying his book. I am a muslim man but quite interested to read my culture in detail. Thank you sir.
One is made a learned man, when he knows the left and right both as well. Unless you know the "wrong" you cant see the right. So dont stop buying his book. Read it, and then point finger on his work. Next time when someone ask you about him you would immediately say 'he is a lie'. But that is wrong, no? You just saw this video and and then saying he is 'wrong'.
If you want to read about your culture well, first start with the Vedas. You will get them at vedrishi.com . That is the start and then you can go on and read the kmg mahabharat and valmiki Ramayan but remember, whenever there is a loophole in the story or contradictions, things are added there. What is true then? Whatever follows the Vedas is the truth.
Just like we abuse Muslims, Christians, and the Lower castes? Devdutt is challenging our myths, questioning their raw source. That should not be offending. If your faith is strong, you know that his words won't waver it.
I think Sh. Rajiv Malhotra and Sh. Devdutt both must arrange an debate with very specific problems you've found and make it a live program so we can decide ourselves. Then we can heard both the sides.
@@DD-kc6hg but exist in constitution so it can be done, but in Hinduism there is punishment for adharmis , and adharmis doesn't mean non believers but those who do crimes , so he can be punished as per sanatan dharma and even as per the constitution
I sincerely thank both of you. I was earlier a blind follower of mr pattanaik. This video has opened my eyes, I will never read any of his books ever again.
I was fan of Devdutt Patnayak, I have some of his books in my collection... and then I followed him on Twitter and read his abusive tweets and all the image of him in my mind fell down.. and still falling as I am getting to know him more.
@@janhavitripathi8249 Addressed to Hindus .. he even targeted True indology ... but true indology wooped his ass do good lol. Go follow true indology on Twitter , istagram ...he has a blog too read it.
Trivializing, distorting, ridiculing. Anyway he is a mythologist so who cares for Devdutt's facts. Few hundred years from now his mythical books will be of no value but Vedas will still be there.
Pattnaik is an arrogant person distorting our Shastras and Purana s deliberately to convey wrong and motivated messages. Good that he is exposed in this. Thank you very much Sir for exposing him.
@@hs887 In the video the man himself saying that taking a handful of water from sea then he can give many results about it (he is calling it saishwat nyay) then you must be calling him mentally ill??
To know hindu religion and culture, all Hindu must learn sanskrit in their mother tongue ( avoid wrong english translations ). Sanskrit is easy. The beauty and the wealth of hindu scriptures is in sanskrit only.
Can an Indian Sanskrit teacher please get help of IT people to put a Sanskrit dictionary in the Internet .it could Sanskrit into Hindi or English.Then people can do their own interpretation of Sanskrit scriptures instead of relying on frauds and foreign so called experts like pollack who have an agenda to discredit sanatan dharma. Those who know the Hindi script can easily translate with help of dictionary
Tamil Nadu has seen innumerable saints from the so called "shudra / dalit " community. They are still very much revered and worshipped. People are still emotionally connected to them for the past 1400 years. Devdutt knows no history. Infact in Tamil history its the Brahmins who sung in praise of those devotees of shiva. Sundarar an 8th century mystical poet says he is the devotee of Neelakandan, the potter, Neelakandan the bard, nandhanar, thirukurippu thondar, a dobi, kannappar a hunter, and so on, who were the devotees of Shiva. So Sundarar, the shaivite brahmin says he is the devotee of devotees. Enough of this Brahmin blame game.
Same goes in Maharashtra. Bhakti movement here in medieval times had innumerable saints from Dalit community and they are still revered and prayed by everyone. We even have huge pilgrimage festivals for many of them.
Cibi Raj You are right. But you have omitted the Alwars and the great saints like Tirukkachi Nambi among the Vaishnavas. As can be seen in David Shulman's book The contribution of the non Brahmin saints to Bhakti (they were the earliest Bhakti poets of India) and to Tamil poetry is not only immense but incalculable.
In the beginning, whoever was good in one skill, they took up that. Later on, it became birth based classification. It's all human nature to be blamed. As the time passes, people became more discriminatory. It's same with other religions too. Take Islam, for example - Shias, Sunnis may mingle but they don't accept each other. They don't see Ahmedians as Muslims. Off late, Sufi saints are bashed too. Or take Christianity as example - Roman Catholics vs Protestants; Syrian Christians; Pentecostal etc etc. Every religion has its own castes/divisions etc. People became comfortable with their "own" people and later on it became completely discriminatory. Sometimes violent. If we have to blame one thing - it's human nature.
Don't care about that fact....unless he stops distorting the main texts. Philosophical interpretations are always welcomed, because it shows maybe a deeper understanding. And if he makes mistakes on philosophical interpretations it will be corrected over the years by a better understanding of the texts. Shashtrath and debates are always welcomed. But u must have the facts on which u base the philosophy be true. He defies that. And that is stupid.
Thanks for this video Sir. This man is evolved into Danavdutt Khalnaik and just because he is a subject informed and famous he corrupts the Indic Culture.
I feel so angry that I let myself get duped by a two bit fraud who leverages our culture to profit from. A good lesson to never accept anybody's word on stuff unless you have done the proper research yourself. Thank you, Rajiv Sir and Nityanand Sir, you are an example for all aspiring scholars of Hinduism.
I was also once a bhakt of devdutt but once on a television show I saw him telling completely irrelevant things about Odisha and its jagarnath culture, I astonished me that how come a national television star speaker on vedas is saying something which dosnt have anything to do with the reality. I was thinking from where did he got that facts in the first place. he is really a show man without any proper knowledge.
Yeah the fact is absolutely true. If you see origin juggernaut, it only came into being of English dictionary after 1850s where allegorically describe huge chariots that used to crush devotees. You can check oxford dictionary for the same. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/juggernaut
I have been writing criticisms of Devdutt Patnaik now for almost five years. He has half knowledge of Dharmic literature. You know how dangerous it is. I challenged him many times for a debate on these issues. He never took up. He says for example Vedas have no values and no principles. He says Krishna was a bad hero and Duryodhan was a good villain. He says Rama was a misogynist. He says Buddha was copied by Dharma Philosophers. He follows Pollock's three dimensional philology very loyally. He is a great chela of Doniger. So and and so forth. I talked to a friend in Toronto who was so disappointed by two of his books on Hinduism. According to this friend, Pattanaik made several mistakes in interpreting Hinduism. I congratulate RM and Mr. Misra for exposing this charalatan. But this is just a beginning. If we want truth to be told about our books, more criticisms must be forthcoming. More videos have to be made to point out where exactly this charlatan makes errors and glorifies his own ignorance. He has support from blog sites like Score. Score in particular refused to publish my criticisms of this mis interpreter of our metaphysics, literature, philosophy,history and science. I hope more scholars like Mr. Misra will come out in public to expose the ignorance of Pattanaik.
I confirmed each and every thing the guy is saying with my mother. She has devoted most of the part of her life reading the original scripture and Vedas. She's Masters in sanskrit. She totally agreed with the guy with 95% accuracy. This has confirmed that devdatta patnaik is a poor human being. He's Hater of Our community and He's also a very foolish guy for someone writing about our religion. I hate Devdatta Patnaik for spreading something which is not a pure and whole truth about our Religion.
Don't worry dear! Just see the views of this video! 1M is not a small number.. When the people like Rajiv Malhotra sir and Abhijit Chavda sir, etc have got good number of followers then there is nothing much to worry about this fraud guy. I believe that those who study hinduism intellectually will eventually come to know the truth about it! And those who are studying it without using brains.. we can't do anything about it. So the truth shall prevail 😇🙏🏼
A question to all of you. How do YOU know what is true. Our Hindu foundations began 50000 YEARS ago! everyones perception is different, but they are not false.
And yes , Devdutt on Twitter is not something I can look for. I mean after reading ten books authored by him ,his tweets are like... Is he the same person ?
I'll put it in simple terms. There are 4 streams of yoga, based on one's convinience they can follow one of the 4 - 1. Jnana Yoga (path of wisdom/knowledge) 2. Raja Yoga (path of will power; through performing yoga and meditation) 3. Bhakti Yoga (path of devotion) 4. Karma Yoga ( path of work/duty) Also I urge people to learn Sanskrit and start with Vedic philosophy.
I am ashamed that I was following Devdutt.... I also confirmed with my aunty who is Sanskrit schooler, she also informed “My Gita” is totally misinterpreted Gita. Devdutt is Leftist call author and mythologist. His mission to miss lead Hindu culture.
He is seeing mahabharat or other mythology in real meaning not dominating form where Lord has right destroy anyone Lord is bound with Nature is everything
What stopped you from learning Sanskrit!? Today you are saying one thing, tomorrow you'll follow something else... ! Read it, understand it yourself. This reliance on people to see truth is blinding. Its ok, if you don't wish to seek the truth.... everyone doesnt have to be a hindu hard core hindu. A hard core hindu seeks truth !
Astik and nastik, two words that I could interpret the meaning of with my high school level knowledge of sanskrit(which frankly is bare minimal) and D. Pattanaik turned it into something else completely! This reminds me of Vikram Seth's The Frog and The Nightingale. Self proclaimed authority figures on a field exploiting juvenile minds that could have done much better for themselves without their help. Some things remain true even after decades!
OMG! Thanks for opening my eyes. I have seen a few videos of Patnayak and I appreciated him. Our knowledge of our worshipped scriptures are shamefully low. Thanks education system. Thank you again Sir.
I used to watch "Devlok with Devdutt" so curiously.. When he commented on Shiva Linga & many other things my Mother said its all false, but I believed him. Today I was skeptical about this video but after watching this full.. Im feeling cheated for 2 years 😑🙏
He is not good at all. Simply commenting n writings books without parampara. ... many more he needs to learn n seek many things. He seemed to be egoist . What is experience on it
Devddutta Pattnaik's book writing is mainly targeted for English speaking people, but sadly his books are influencing the Indian book readers ! I too was influenced by him, but time on when I learned more and spent time on reading and listening to people like Nityanand Misra & Rajiv Malhotra, his bubble is busted, at least for me !
Our heritage, culture and itihaas is real , so it can’t be manipulated not even for westerners. Some words can be chosen wisely to come as near to Sanskrit however English is a very limited language as compared to Sanskrit . Some words in Sanskrit can’t be translated but it can’t justify @devduttapattnaik twisting and fabricating the facts . Not accepted
Let me start by saying I was initially impressed by DDP when I saw him on TV. I had listened to My Gita as an AudioBook and did feel some concepts and ideas to be illogical. When I heard Business Sutra, I felt that it was a force-fit of concepts to suit a business-oriented narrative. Last year during the Lock Downs, I actually made efforts to join his Facebook Live; but the entire setup was toxic in terms of Hindutva and Brahmin bashing. As a reflex towards blocking negativity, I stopped following him on social media. I have seen him define you as a US-based savior and the others around as your minions - which is completely disgraceful. Some of the points you have made in terms of the Gopikas, Gandhari- Kunti -Maadri are actually more sensible and do deserve my appreciation. Hopefully, you can get more absurdity exposed in future.
I am grateful to Mr Rajiv Malhotra and Mr Nityanand Misra for exposing such fake and fraudulent authors. In fact I had purchased the kindle book ' My Hanuman Chalisa' yesterday and after listening to Mr Niyananda Misra's unbiased and enlightening interview, returned the book immediately. You are doing a very noble service to caution ordinary people like me not to fall a prey to fake authors with a sinister agenda.
You should have read the book first and then should have made up the decision of returning the book. Now how you can say that Mr mishra is saying right or wrong if you returned the book before reading. And people saying it's his way to sell books, so what Mr malhotra and Mr mishra doing then, they too doing the same,nit selling books but they want to get focused by posting this video, cz dukan band hai unki. Let me ask you how you are so sure that whatever Mr mishra and Mr malhotra said is totally right.? Are you a scholar in sanskrit? Stop criticizing people out of jealousy and hatred because of his stature.
When I read the 'My Gita' by Devdutt Pattanaik some years ago, I felt ill at ease with many of his ideas and concepts explained therein but could not nail him. I thought the author had made a simplified Gita to reach the masses. Now this video is a strong rebuttal of the 'My Gita' and I am thankful to them to have completely debunked 'My Gita'.
Thanks for enlightening speach. I am an engineer and sanskrit post graduate. I was also fond of Devdutt Patnaik, not knowing him completely. Ofcourse didn't read him vividly, but when I read one of his works, it was sounding hotchpotch, but I was doubtful on my own understanding. Now, I gain confidence. Now I can read it again by refering to original sanskrit works. Thanks again.
This is so true.. I didn't know anything about this man couple of years back when i ordered JAYA(Mahabharat) of his and I could tell the writer is not competent to write on the subject and I closed the book midway. Later I came to know that he is Chetan Bhagat of Indian Shastras. And now I am seeing this.
Thank god, I saw this video soon enough.... I was about to buy and read Devdutt Pattanaik's Jaya, My Gita & Sitha retelling of Ramayan! Thank you rajiv sir and Nityanand Mishra sir... I am going to donate this money you saved me from spending on Pattanaik's garbage to Infinity foundation...
Damn!!! I followed devdutt pattanaik with all my heart. This video was suggested by random girl on Instagram. This was an eye opener...thanks for this....
Rajiv needs to post a "GOOD BOOKS - Recommended Reading" vs "BAD BOOKS - DO NOT READ" list for all of us, so we don't fall prey to good marketing by these authors. I just read "My Hanuman Chalisa" by Pattanaik and was going to read "My Gita" but then I saw this video. :o Many well-intentioned people reading to learn more about Indian/ Hindu heritage rely on recommendations by people like Rajiv, on Amazon best seller list/reviews, and on recognitions/honors like Padma Shri award (btw, can we lobby to get our gov't to STOP doling out Padma Shri awards to people like Sheldon Pollock who has distorted/misinterpreted our spiritual texts?!! Stop being so flattered by white people taking an interest in our culture/heritage - it only helps them build their brand and hence domain authority, which helps spread their lies to more people). Stop feeding their egos and financing their lies. We need to build Rajiv's brand and raise his profile by better marketing - for example, BUY RAJIV's BOOKS ON AMAZON (more sales/reviews will put him in TOP slots for the keywords "Hinduism" "India" etc). Also, perhaps, Rajiv can give reviews on books on amazon that he doesn't like and then tell us all so we can go and UPVOTE his review and leave our own so that book does not SELL on amazon and no one buys it - afterall, many pple rely on reviews before purchasing). Can do the opposite for books he does like/recommends so they get great reviews and sell well! It's all about out-MARKETING the other guy!!!
Ohh God.....i just randomly scroll youtube found this valuable video When i heard Devdatt ji talking about Mahabharata.....it was hard to accept whatever he was explaining. I mean how can he just changed the Whole Mahabharata concept 🙄
Famous saying in Marathi is ध cha म| nako karu. So Interchaging words can have have dangerous interpretation. , Raghunathrao had sent a message to Sumer Singh Gardi to fetch Narayanrao using the Marathi word dharaa (धरा) or 'hold' (actual phrase in Marathi - " नारायणरावांना धरा"/"Narayanrao-ana dhara"). This message was intercepted by his wife Anandibai who changed a single letter to make it read as maaraa (मारा) or 'kill' .
One of the main reasons for such people to gain importance in the society is the absence of erudite scholars in Sanskrit who are required To teach children in schools. The second reason is we have lost our way (due to western influence) and have embraced materialism As our main goal. I know in my own circle not many people have the habit of reading but simply spend time in gossips thru latest technology like twitter and what’s app which are dangerous to the society in propagating untruths.
Few days back, I criticised someone for converting to Chritianity. An unknown person attacked me saying that "You are enjoying living abroad so shut up." This is one of the new line of attack on people who criticise leftist.
Gayatri Bhute : I have just seen this video and in my other comment here, I have asked whether an RSS or VHP person can get some action done by either RSS or VHP to sue Devdutt Patnaik, for misinformed writings on Holy Hindu books and for Rupa as publishers of such books? Is it possible to get a group together and act on this please?
I'm ashamed of myself now 🤦😑 I wholeheartedly viewed his videos and thought I learned a lot but fuck I was just learning some random fictionalized stories. Thank you to both of you sirs for clearing my mind🙏
To me he sounds like an Indian version of Sigmund Freud 🤭 And perverted Freud was also very popular with his strange views alin his time. Today no serious psychologist believes in Freud.
That's why our ancestors wanted us to read and question everything. Unfortunately our schooling system has killed that concept of questioning. Now we just read anyone and agree. Also not knowing Sanskrit has become our handicap. We are reading some foreigners translation in English. How pathetic does this sound. Our own language we cannot read.
There is a program called Devlok on EPIC Channel which is based on his works in which he comes himself as a guest speaker to interpret various aspects related to Hinduism. I heard and saw him for first time due to this channel. This TV channel is owned by Mahindra group chairman Shri Anand Mahindra. Devdutt indeed has strong and powerful connections. He has managed to convince these patriotic businessmen to his benefit. This nexus which he has built must be broken.
#RajivMalhotraOfficial Please, do this in Hindi. This is something very serious & harmful happening. This guy in selling like hotcake. Please, challenge him on every platform he goes.
Karna shareer my god I lost it completely there 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 he is like the boy in science class not understanding the concept invents his own during exams😂😂😂😂😂 we call it nothing but fart .
I pray to almighty lord Shiva to bless you two people Rajiv ji and Nityanand ji with much strength vigour and resources to counter such fraudulent people.
This video helped me realise that somewhere i was right in being skeptic about him after he so badly distorted so many things in the serial Devon ke dev mahadev. Maa Parvati was shown as a weak soap opera bahu ..like she would literally have to apologize for killing asur infront of Lord Shiva...There were many more horrendous distortions but him particularly trying to portray Maa Durga as weak bahu was very low
thanx for exposing him rajiv ji.i watched his show for 5 mins and i was shocked by the utter garbage he talks on t.v.,he is wrong at so many lvl u have to write a book just to correct his nonsense.
I think I heard this devdutt pattnaik guy first on NDTV. I just ignored him thinking that he is just another ignorant writer. I did find his talks lacking depth and ignorant (was not really being judgmental at that time) Clearly not knowledgeable i felt. If I recall in the video, he talked about ramayana and mahabharata as myths. He got the very fact of ithihasas and mythology wrong. I just skipped the video and just ignored him. After all I was right about him. This is insane.
Sir why don't you expose him on National stage? He has been polluting Indian Ethos very skillfully for a long time! I'm really scared of losing actual knowledge of our Vedas, Puranas and Upanishads
Karan Shukla ~ Simply because our entire Bharatiya system, since the last 400 years, be it political or administrative or media have been brainwashed in to secularism (which is a christian idea and then we have the muslim appeasment that went on for years) that people like Rajiv have been permanently banned, sidelined and un-invited from ever going on national TV or national stage such as literary festivals by powerful gatekeepers branding him as a communal sanghi. Rajiv have been trying to do that for decades, but has no help from anyone who have power or money. Billionaire business people like the Ambanis are supporting Pattnaik. Tatas are supporting western theologians who stole ideas from Dharma and representing them back to Bharat as their own. Hindu leaders like our beloved Modi have their hands tied up in their back and not able to do much. I hope you get the idea how odds are stacked up against Sanantanis ( or Hindus).
Kudala_Mangalooru I agree to your point but there are more Congressis supporting him than BJP. There are more than 30 millions of followers of him who are Congress Supporters. Now Modiji can't straightaway demolish Pattnaik because every step he has to take taking in consideration of constitution and freedom of speech! He is working backside but can't thrash him on his face! Congress supports him openly. RSS and BJP are against him strictly!
DP's support may be an attempt by the anti-cultural foreign forces, however it's helping waking Bhartiya's up to our own culture's nuances & finding the right things out ! Good for us :-) ... Let us now read our Ramayan, Mahabharat, Ved, Upanishads, Puran, Geeta, Bhagwat, etc., learn Sanskrit & get closer to our roots by ourselves. To start with, works from Gita Press, Bharti Vidya Bhavan, Ramakrishna Mission are the ones to be trusted.
I had heard few short video clips of Devdatta Patnaik and thought him to be genuine however, thanks for this video by Mr. Rajiv Malhotra. Thanks a lot to Mr. Nityananda Mishra, i would like to read your books sir.
I saw one of his interview in one of the interview he was saying HINDU word is only 200 years old. Being a SIKH I study SRI GURU GRANTH SAHIB & HINDU word is used in 16th century 2-3 time in it. Then I came to know about his knowledge.
I agree.. this patnk guys knows nothing....Hindu is the combination of Himalayas + Sindhu... The region from the himalayas passing through the Sindhu river and beyond. Its not Sindhu mis-pronounced hindu by persians as commonly thought. Civilizations are generally defined around Rivers.. in this case Sarasvati-Sindhu Nadi Sabhyata.
The word Hindu is mentioned in our old sacred scriptures it is clearly not 200 years old this Pattnaik is a total gone case he is just filled with dirt in his mind
Way you explained all is true and logical still people don't prefer to read real source they just attracted towards marketing strategy. We need writers like you to make awareness
I am from Odisha. I know that Karanas (Patnaik,'s castes) are not exploited ones, they are the top high-caste people in Odisha. Pattnayaks are the richest and landlord people in odisha. They have a history of exploiting others. This guy is just a smartass propagandist.
Debiprasadini Mishra I seriously think that people like you , who know this I mean the caste politics that he raises should expose him & question him ... coz most of us don’t know about these things
Dont say all these non sense for karanas. We might be general but we dont exploit anybody. We are not landlords nor we anti hindus. Think before generalizing. Karanas are backbone of odia litreture, dance, art ,business and politics.
@JUST DO IT buddy don't blame Patnaik on Katak, as I'm from Katak & I don't agree with Pattnaik. Actually most of Kakias are not from Katak, but from Kedrapada, Jagatsinghpur & Jajapur.... where as we the original Katakana R being Defamed.
This is a total eye opener for me. The kind of subtle conditioning of our minds devdutt patnaik is doing through his books which gullible like me read is preposterous! I feel disturbed by the fraudulent propaganda he has committed to millions of gullible readers who DO not have time and patience to understand our epics and scriptures in its traditional form!
Sir, I always felt that something was wrong with this Pattnaik when I used to hear him or read his articles. Now my thoughts are so sorted. Thank you. Pranam.🙏
Thank you Rajiv Malhotraji and Nityananda Mishraji for your sincere effort to tell the truth about Devdutt Patnaik to us. I am going to unlike his Epic channel and I will spread awareness among the people regarding not to follow his Epic Channel and ask the same questions which you have told in the video.
Max muller of India:-devduttpatnayak In india people need fairy tales and he provides it very well, maybe that is y he is so famous n these anti-intelletual people follow him blindly. N used to follow him in my grad years but not now can u please tell me y there are shows and book still being launched in India since he is a damage to culture he should b restricted and a job from govn should b given to write factual fairy stories so that even he cant question on authority #job to mil h rai h vo b govn
I have neither read devdutts books or yours. But I have read bhagwat gita more than 50 times and each time I come across something new and according to me it is told by Krishna so people can have their own interpretations every time.
You're free to have your interpretations but that's one thing. You cannot sell "your ideas" in a way that mislead people. This is exactly why they raised such an issue. The mass public is being presented with something marked as Fact where it's only a mere opinion. See how they said its a marketing strategy.
This is the root cause of the problem... Ppl will always be misinformed or will misinform others till they derieve their own interpretation out of what's written in Geeta.. the aim should be to understand what actually Geeta is saying not what we understood out of it... Because what we understand is the making of our own mind not the essence of what actually Geeta is trying to convey.
For someone who is a brahmin himself, the critic does not seem to be aware of the different Brahmin subcastes of South India. This seems to be an inherent bias combined with a knowledge deficit. For your kind information, Nityanand Misra, Patnaiks are actually Brahmins. They are Niyogi Brahmins similar to Kayastha Brahmins etc. So, Devdutt Patnaik is not a non-Brahmin demonstrating anti-Brahminism. Secondly, I have read his books. Before reading them, I was at no point misled that he is an expert on scriptures. He clearly says in his foreword that he has distilled his knowledge and understanding of the scriptures from the stories he learnt from his own grandfather who is a temple priest and other elders of his family. Thirdly, I am a physician and Devdutt Patnaik, I hear, is also a doctor. In his books, I have found that he tries to reinterpret ancient Hindu scriptures through the prism of modern scientific understanding of human psychology. In my opinion, he has done a fairly good job and maybe that is why, his works are palatable to modern readers, who do not believe Hindu religion was ever fixed or dogmatic in its approach. Fourth, philosophical works are never classified as fiction or non-fiction binary. Would you consider "MEDITATIONS" by Marcus Aurelius or Bertrand Russell or Voltaire's works as fiction or non-fiction? Fifth, Malhotra brings up Adishankaracharya & Nagarjunacharya but does not seem to realise that at the time these great philosophers had started their movements, they had reinterpreted the Hindu scriptures themselves, went around the country debating with other philosophers and convincing them and these philosophies have been rejuvenated with mild changes since then. Sixth, not every great philosopher in the Hindu religion has arisen from a Parampara or tradition with Sadhanas and a certificate from some institute. Can you show me one God man in India who can display his certificate proving his training and knowledge? How many institutes do you know in the history of India where such diplomas etc were given? How many such institutes have actually witnessed and supervised the training of our great Hindu philosophers?
Devadutt is not good at all. Simply commenting n writings books without parampara. ... many more he needs to learn n seek many things. He seemed to be egoist . What is experience on it
Indian serials are also misinterpreting at an extreme level for the sake of entertainment, shouldn't we stop that as well?
Well said brother!
Yes the latest ones are manufactured . Ramanand sagar one was authentic
Yes
Stop watching them
It's because Devdutt pattnaik is the advisor of most of the Indian mythology serials !! He's misleading people at a very high rate!
The fact that Sonam Kapoor reads Devdutt's works is sufficient for me to not take him seriously 😂
Sonam Kapoor's father Anil Kapoor and Devdutt Patnaik are school mates having studied in OLPS school, Chembur, Mumbai
That's true, I consider same reason to avoid him

* MS DHONI COACH MEME *
The rise of Devdutt Pattnaik has also shown that Hindus around the world do crave to learn about their own heritage. However, Hindus have not tried to go mainstream with Hindu philosophy. We need authentic scholars teaching Hinduism properly and them have those individuals to take those ideas mainstream. Hindus need to be in pop culture and move outside the their walled in garden. Rajiv ji has inspired many to take this task on. I am happy to be in this journey.
Hindu Lifestyle best we do our own study the original texts.shri Aurobindo explained the ancient works for the modern times.
Shaun, I'm happy to know that your one of us. :D
Sir can you suggest a good book as a translation of gita (not filled with jargons). Simple and understandable for 21 years old
Hindu Lifestyle and sure every Hindu must follow his path
How much time did you spend in learning any subject area? If you are willing to learn something you need to spend the time to understand the context. If you are willing to do that then you can pick up the books from Iskon or Chinmaya mission or Swami Nithyananda etc. At the age of 21 one should be of vigor, courage etc. Not some escapist
You cannot call a cow - a donkey and then say it's my interpretation of a cow... People like Pattanaik should be held accountable ...
Yes well said.They should be stripped off naked and left on streets.

I downloaded Seven secrets of Shiva written by Pattnaik during this ongoing saawan month. Thank god I came across this video. I returned that book immediately. I seriously feel Lord Shiva himself guided me to watch this particular video. He didn't want me to read the writings of this self acclaimed Puran specialist. 🙏🙏
Then share this video
I am an odia and I have not read the odia mahabharat myself but Mr. Pattnaik's version is not the same as what my mom had narrated to me....clearly he had his own version

Even with me. In today's era, people belive more on printed words more than oral traditions. But many eexperiences prove to me that oral tradition has its own power, whereas printed words can be distorted
Bingo, go by what you and your parents heard from generations to generations rather than so called experts. We must stick to Guru-Shishya parmpara.

Have you read the original mahabharat yourself? Calling a person dud whom you don't know, whose work you haven't studied.

But its sad that people like Devdutt get a more popular platform to spread their misinterpretations and lies.
True bro
Beerbiceps did an interview with devdutt then balanced it with that of Abhijit Chawda ji.
He even interviewed Dhruv Rathee!
@@Ash-od6nh ratee is okay
Devdutta Patnaik exists and thrives because Indian Schools and Colleges don't teach Sanskrit as a compulsory subject (notwithstanding protests from secularists pretenders). We are also not taught Bhagvad Gita and Srimad Bhagvatam in schools and colleges! Everything cannot and should not be translated from Sanskrit to English, because Sanskrit is immeasurably a Higher Language and English can never do justice, retaining the root meaning, essence and true nature of the word and the sound!
dont be spectator, share this video on your social media..
It's not about, Schooling but it's the difficulty of Parenting.....parents R ignorant. Those of us who Questions, got great Parents.
Very very true
Agree that we all should learn Sanskrit because it is one of the greatest language in the history of mankind along with Latin, Greek and Hebrew. But it is also a very complex and compound language with the highest level of aesthetics and difficult to learn for a layman like me. So until and unless we all start to learn Sanskrit it's better to translate all the masterpiece Sanskrit literary texts into English. This is the only way we can propagate the beauty and message of Sanskrit to the rest of the world. Personally, I have learned a lot from different English translations, interpretations and exegesis of Bhagavad Gita and Kautilya's Arthashastra (reading Bhagavad Gita and Kautilya's Arthashastra itself is a great educative experience).
Its not about schooling .For writing a book you need a lot of research work.For your information a lot of sanskrit scholars are present in Indian universities as well as abroad who are accepting his views rather than this engineer who himself is doing the same thing ,writing books.
Thank you for stopping me to make a big mistake of buying his book. I am a muslim man but quite interested to read my culture in detail. Thank you sir.
Cool bro👏👏
One should read sita ram goel.
Read swami Vivekananda
One is made a learned man, when he knows the left and right both as well. Unless you know the "wrong" you cant see the right. So dont stop buying his book. Read it, and then point finger on his work. Next time when someone ask you about him you would immediately say 'he is a lie'. But that is wrong, no? You just saw this video and and then saying he is 'wrong'.
If you want to read about your culture well, first start with the Vedas. You will get them at vedrishi.com . That is the start and then you can go on and read the kmg mahabharat and valmiki Ramayan but remember, whenever there is a loophole in the story or contradictions, things are added there. What is true then? Whatever follows the Vedas is the truth.

Ohh god! He's such a fraud. I used to be his fan just 6 months back then he started being so desperate to abuse Brahmins & Hinduism🙏
Just like we abuse Muslims, Christians, and the Lower castes? Devdutt is challenging our myths, questioning their raw source. That should not be offending. If your faith is strong, you know that his words won't waver it.
That's why i quited from, fan culture long ago, ...and only believe well broken down talks
@@AdityaSingh-xh8et to challenge myths and question raw source you have to actually READ the raw source lol
I think Sh. Rajiv Malhotra and Sh. Devdutt both must arrange an debate with very specific problems you've found and make it a live program so we can decide ourselves. Then we can heard both the sides.

To know hindu religion and culture, all Hindu must learn sanskrit in their mother tongue ( avoid wrong english translations ). Sanskrit is easy. The beauty and the wealth of hindu scriptures is in sanskrit only.
I totally agree with you. In our three language formula of school learning instead of Hindi we should be taught Sanskrit.
i agree with you
Sanskrit be made compulsory in school instead of being optional.
Can an Indian Sanskrit teacher please get help of IT people to put a Sanskrit dictionary in the Internet .it could Sanskrit into Hindi or English.Then people can do their own interpretation of Sanskrit scriptures instead of relying on frauds and foreign so called experts like pollack who have an agenda to discredit sanatan dharma. Those who know the Hindi script can easily translate with help of dictionary
100% true...
Pattnaik is trying to break our tradition with his crafty and tricky language, wild imagination and good marketing ability
Had ordered Jaya. Cancelled the order after seeing this video. 🙏
Me too, 😁
Thank God, Those books are not meant for Brainless Zombies. Go read Fifty shades of Grey. It's the best book for you
Tamil Nadu has seen innumerable saints from the so called "shudra / dalit " community. They are still very much revered and worshipped. People are still emotionally connected to them for the past 1400 years. Devdutt knows no history.
Infact in Tamil history its the Brahmins who sung in praise of those devotees of shiva. Sundarar an 8th century mystical poet says he is the devotee of Neelakandan, the potter, Neelakandan the bard, nandhanar, thirukurippu thondar, a dobi, kannappar a hunter, and so on, who were the devotees of Shiva. So Sundarar, the shaivite brahmin says he is the devotee of devotees.
Enough of this Brahmin blame game.
Same goes in Maharashtra. Bhakti movement here in medieval times had innumerable saints from Dalit community and they are still revered and prayed by everyone. We even have huge pilgrimage festivals for many of them.
Cibi Raj
You are right. But you have omitted the Alwars and the great saints like Tirukkachi Nambi among the Vaishnavas. As can be seen in David Shulman's book The contribution of the non Brahmin saints to Bhakti (they were the earliest Bhakti poets of India) and to Tamil poetry is not only immense but incalculable.
Then why there is sectional dividend..shudra and Brahmin etc..Give some light.. if the castist identity
In the beginning, whoever was good in one skill, they took up that. Later on, it became birth based classification. It's all human nature to be blamed. As the time passes, people became more discriminatory. It's same with other religions too. Take Islam, for example - Shias, Sunnis may mingle but they don't accept each other. They don't see Ahmedians as Muslims. Off late, Sufi saints are bashed too. Or take Christianity as example - Roman Catholics vs Protestants; Syrian Christians; Pentecostal etc etc. Every religion has its own castes/divisions etc. People became comfortable with their "own" people and later on it became completely discriminatory. Sometimes violent. If we have to blame one thing - it's human nature.
Devdutta belongs to a higher caste karana caste. Richest in odisha
Devadatt is to Mythology what Chetan Bhagat is to a Classic Novel.
Lol
Sir he is working with purushottam agrawal JNU professor. Purshottam Agrawal never does anything without any anti Brahmin Agenda.

Don't care about that fact....unless he stops distorting the main texts. Philosophical interpretations are always welcomed, because it shows maybe a deeper understanding. And if he makes mistakes on philosophical interpretations it will be corrected over the years by a better understanding of the texts. Shashtrath and debates are always welcomed. But u must have the facts on which u base the philosophy be true. He defies that. And that is stupid.
Even I believe so...
More like anti-hindu agenda
All those are detached-hindus. Either they underwent severe brainwashing or may be got converted into Ch.ristian.

I was also once a bhakt of devdutt but once on a television show I saw him telling completely irrelevant things about Odisha and its jagarnath culture, I astonished me that how come a national television star speaker on vedas is saying something which dosnt have anything to do with the reality. I was thinking from where did he got that facts in the first place. he is really a show man without any proper knowledge.
Dibya prakash singh can you please share link. What he told about odisha and Lord jagannath.
I do remeber that vid..he connected jagnnath word with english word juggernaut
Well the juggernaut thing is true....... I had seen that in 1950s some BBC news episode on rathyatra
Dibya prakash singh let's all make an effort to expose hos ignorance so people don't buy his books
Yeah the fact is absolutely true. If you see origin juggernaut, it only came into being of English dictionary after 1850s where allegorically describe huge chariots that used to crush devotees. You can check oxford dictionary for the same. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/juggernaut
I have been writing criticisms of Devdutt Patnaik now for almost five years. He has half knowledge of Dharmic literature. You know how dangerous it is. I challenged him many times for a debate on these issues. He never took up. He says for example Vedas have no values and no principles. He says Krishna was a bad hero and Duryodhan was a good villain. He says Rama was a misogynist. He says Buddha was copied by Dharma Philosophers. He follows Pollock's three dimensional philology very loyally. He is a great chela of Doniger. So and and so forth. I talked to a friend in Toronto who was so disappointed by two of his books on Hinduism. According to this friend, Pattanaik made several mistakes in interpreting Hinduism. I congratulate RM and Mr. Misra for exposing this charalatan. But this is just a beginning. If we want truth to be told about our books, more criticisms must be forthcoming. More videos have to be made to point out where exactly this charlatan makes errors and glorifies his own ignorance. He has support from blog sites like Score. Score in particular refused to publish my criticisms of this mis interpreter of our metaphysics, literature, philosophy,history and science. I hope more scholars like Mr. Misra will come out in public to expose the ignorance of Pattanaik.
Keep up the good work brother ...spread the word to as many people as possible

I confirmed each and every thing the guy is saying with my mother. She has devoted most of the part of her life reading the original scripture and Vedas. She's Masters in sanskrit.

A question to all of you. How do YOU know what is true. Our Hindu foundations began 50000 YEARS ago! everyones perception is different, but they are not false.
And yes , Devdutt on Twitter is not something I can look for.
I mean after reading ten books authored by him ,his tweets are like...
Is he the same person ?
I'll put it in simple terms. There are 4 streams of yoga, based on one's convinience they can follow one of the 4 -
1. Jnana Yoga (path of wisdom/knowledge)
2. Raja Yoga (path of will power; through performing yoga and meditation)
3. Bhakti Yoga (path of devotion)
4. Karma Yoga ( path of work/duty)
Also I urge people to learn Sanskrit and start with Vedic philosophy.
I want to learn it from the basics
What should I do for this
I did not get real SHREEMAD BHAGVAT PURANA I have searched a lot in stores
Approach a bona fide guru.
Begin by spending a small amount of time for prayer.
Edit:Bina to bona
Raja yoga : Also known popularly in the yogic culture as KRIYA YOGA. This is the best way to be on a spiritual path as per my assumption!
I am ashamed that I was following Devdutt.... I also confirmed with my aunty who is Sanskrit schooler, she also informed “My Gita” is totally misinterpreted Gita.
Devdutt is Leftist call author and mythologist. His mission to miss lead Hindu culture.
He is seeing mahabharat or other mythology in real meaning not dominating form where Lord has right destroy anyone Lord is bound with Nature is everything
Bhai sahab ko samjho.... Haar chiz left right nhi hota hai

Not sure if people really understand what leftist and righist even mean or is it just a tool for namecalling
What stopped you from learning Sanskrit!?
Today you are saying one thing, tomorrow you'll follow something else... ! Read it, understand it yourself.
This reliance on people to see truth is blinding. Its ok, if you don't wish to seek the truth.... everyone doesnt have to be a hindu hard core hindu. A hard core hindu seeks truth !
Astik and nastik, two words that I could interpret the meaning of with my high school level knowledge of sanskrit(which frankly is bare minimal) and D. Pattanaik turned it into something else completely! This reminds me of Vikram Seth's The Frog and The Nightingale. Self proclaimed authority figures on a field exploiting juvenile minds that could have done much better for themselves without their help. Some things remain true even after decades!
OMG! Thanks for opening my eyes. I have seen a few videos of Patnayak and I appreciated him. Our knowledge of our worshipped scriptures are shamefully low. Thanks education system. Thank you again Sir.

Devddutta Pattnaik's book writing is mainly targeted for English speaking people, but sadly his books are influencing the Indian book readers ! I too was influenced by him, but time on when I learned more and spent time on reading and listening to people like Nityanand Misra & Rajiv Malhotra, his bubble is busted, at least for me !
This is precisely why we need to learn sanskrit quickly and learn from the scriptures directly without any middlemen
It is also dangerous even if it is targeted at western readers. They would have a very wrong idea about hindu philosophy.
Our heritage, culture and itihaas is real , so it can’t be manipulated not even for westerners. Some words can be chosen wisely to come as near to Sanskrit however English is a very limited language as compared to Sanskrit . Some words in Sanskrit can’t be translated but it can’t justify @devduttapattnaik twisting and fabricating the facts . Not accepted
Let me start by saying I was initially impressed by DDP when I saw him on TV. I had listened to My Gita as an AudioBook and did feel some concepts and ideas to be illogical. When I heard Business Sutra, I felt that it was a force-fit of concepts to suit a business-oriented narrative. Last year during the Lock Downs, I actually made efforts to join his Facebook Live; but the entire setup was toxic in terms of Hindutva and Brahmin bashing. As a reflex towards blocking negativity, I stopped following him on social media. I have seen him define you as a US-based savior and the others around as your minions - which is completely disgraceful.
Some of the points you have made in terms of the Gopikas, Gandhari- Kunti -Maadri are actually more sensible and do deserve my appreciation. Hopefully, you can get more absurdity exposed in future.
Share the video.. If you want this truth to spread
I am grateful to Mr Rajiv Malhotra and Mr Nityanand Misra for exposing such fake and fraudulent authors. In fact I had purchased the kindle book ' My Hanuman Chalisa' yesterday and after listening to Mr Niyananda Misra's unbiased and enlightening interview, returned the book immediately. You are doing a very noble service to caution ordinary people like me not to fall a prey to fake authors with a sinister agenda.
You should have read the book first and then should have made up the decision of returning the book. Now how you can say that Mr mishra is saying right or wrong if you returned the book before reading. And people saying it's his way to sell books, so what Mr malhotra and Mr mishra doing then, they too doing the same,nit selling books but they want to get focused by posting this video, cz dukan band hai unki. Let me ask you how you are so sure that whatever Mr mishra and Mr malhotra said is totally right.? Are you a scholar in sanskrit? Stop criticizing people out of jealousy and hatred because of his stature.

When I read the 'My Gita' by Devdutt Pattanaik some years ago, I felt ill at ease with many of his ideas and concepts explained therein but could not nail him. I thought the author had made a simplified Gita to reach the masses. Now this video is a strong rebuttal of the 'My Gita' and I am thankful to them to have completely debunked 'My Gita'.
Thanks for enlightening speach. I am an engineer and sanskrit post graduate. I was also fond of Devdutt Patnaik, not knowing him completely. Ofcourse didn't read him vividly, but when I read one of his works, it was sounding hotchpotch, but I was doubtful on my own understanding. Now, I gain confidence. Now I can read it again by refering to original sanskrit works. Thanks again.
This is so true.. I didn't know anything about this man couple of years back when i ordered JAYA(Mahabharat) of his and I could tell the writer is not competent to write on the subject and I closed the book midway.
Later I came to know that he is Chetan Bhagat of Indian Shastras.

Rajiv needs to post a "GOOD BOOKS - Recommended Reading" vs "BAD BOOKS - DO NOT READ" list for all of us, so we don't fall prey to good marketing by these authors. I just read "My Hanuman Chalisa" by Pattanaik and was going to read "My Gita" but then I saw this video. :o Many well-intentioned people reading to learn more about Indian/ Hindu heritage rely on recommendations by people like Rajiv, on Amazon best seller list/reviews, and on recognitions/honors like Padma Shri award (btw, can we lobby to get our gov't to STOP doling out Padma Shri awards to people like Sheldon Pollock who has distorted/misinterpreted our spiritual texts?!! Stop being so flattered by white people taking an interest in our culture/heritage - it only helps them build their brand and hence domain authority, which helps spread their lies to more people). Stop feeding their egos and financing their lies. We need to build Rajiv's brand and raise his profile by better marketing - for example, BUY RAJIV's BOOKS ON AMAZON (more sales/reviews will put him in TOP slots for the keywords "Hinduism" "India" etc). Also, perhaps, Rajiv can give reviews on books on amazon that he doesn't like and then tell us all so we can go and UPVOTE his review and leave our own so that book does not SELL on amazon and no one buys it - afterall, many pple rely on reviews before purchasing). Can do the opposite for books he does like/recommends so they get great reviews and sell well! It's all about out-MARKETING the other guy!!!
I feel you bro... I am so shocked.
Ohh God.....i just randomly scroll youtube found this valuable video
When i heard Devdatt ji talking about Mahabharata.....it was hard to accept whatever he was explaining.
I mean how can he just changed the Whole Mahabharata concept 🙄
Famous saying in Marathi is ध cha म| nako karu. So Interchaging words can have have dangerous interpretation.
, Raghunathrao had sent a message to Sumer Singh Gardi to fetch Narayanrao using the Marathi word dharaa (धरा) or 'hold' (actual phrase in Marathi - " नारायणरावांना धरा"/"Narayanrao-ana dhara"). This message was intercepted by his wife Anandibai who changed a single letter to make it read as maaraa (मारा) or 'kill' .
yeah👍😊
Dha cha Maa nako karus
👌👍🤣
Atul Kotwal yes it is famous lokokti in Marathi.
Mast Bhau💪💪💪
Devdutt Pattanaik claims he is "Mythologist" but he is a "Mixologist". A POP MIXOLOGIST.
Ashish Kumar Sharma you are not better than him anyway and you start judging him after these 2 gentleman are talking which also you don’t know
Pritam of mythology. Lmaoooo
devdutt is a conman and a scammer for the gullible
One of the main reasons for such people to gain importance in the society is the absence of erudite scholars in Sanskrit who are required
To teach children in schools. The second reason is we have lost our way (due to western influence) and have embraced materialism
As our main goal. I know in my own circle not many people have the habit of reading but simply spend time in gossips thru latest technology like twitter and what’s app which are dangerous to the society in propagating untruths.
I totally agree with you.
And also that today's generation thinks that the person who speaks well and represent's any idea(can be wrong) in sequential manner is correct
This was such a detailed, factual and responsible conversation. Thank you for talking about him in such detail.
Few days back, I criticised someone for converting to Chritianity. An unknown person attacked me saying that "You are enjoying living abroad so shut up." This is one of the new line of attack on people who criticise leftist.
I m from RSS family and I know each and every fact about Devdatt patnik work.rajiv Sir I appreciate you for your work
Gayatri Bhute : I have just seen this video and in my other comment here, I have asked whether an RSS or VHP person can get some action done by either RSS or VHP to sue Devdutt Patnaik, for misinformed writings on Holy Hindu books and for Rupa as publishers of such books? Is it possible to get a group together and act on this please?
RSS is just spreading their agenda under garb of hindutva, Hinduism teaches love to all living beings... But they are spreading hates that's all.
I'm ashamed of myself now 🤦😑
I wholeheartedly viewed his videos and thought I learned a lot but fuck I was just learning some random fictionalized stories. Thank you to both of you sirs for clearing my mind🙏
Biraj Singha every new author writing the mythology doing same , you should better go with the original ramayan Gita or mahabharata.
This guy devdutt knows how to fool people in a very nice way, I was one of those peope
To me he sounds like an Indian version of Sigmund Freud 🤭
And perverted Freud was also very popular with his strange views alin his time. Today no serious psychologist believes in Freud.
@Bharti Singh follow tiinexile on Twitter
That's why our ancestors wanted us to read and question everything. Unfortunately our schooling system has killed that concept of questioning. Now we just read anyone and agree. Also not knowing Sanskrit has become our handicap. We are reading some foreigners translation in English. How pathetic does this sound. Our own language we cannot read.

There is a program called Devlok on EPIC Channel which is based on his works in which he comes himself as a guest speaker to interpret various aspects related to Hinduism. I heard and saw him for first time due to this channel. This TV channel is owned by Mahindra group chairman Shri Anand Mahindra. Devdutt indeed has strong and powerful connections. He has managed to convince these patriotic businessmen to his benefit. This nexus which he has built must be broken.
Is anand mahindra good?
I used to follow him earlier.. But since last year his insta and Twitter seems very agenda driven!! .. Happy to see this video now!
@DevDutt real character can be seen from his twitter posts. Real nasty guy. I stopped reading or listening his stuff long back.
#RajivMalhotraOfficial
Please, do this in Hindi.
This is something very serious & harmful happening.
This guy in selling like hotcake.
Please, challenge him on every platform he goes.
I thought hindu supremacists (bhramins) had moved from Hindi to english, and now Hindi was left for the lower caste only ?
Karna shareer my god I lost it completely there 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 he is like the boy in science class not understanding the concept invents his own during exams😂😂😂😂😂 we call it nothing but fart .
I pray to almighty lord Shiva to bless you two people Rajiv ji and Nityanand ji with much strength vigour and resources to counter such fraudulent people.
This video helped me realise that somewhere i was right in being skeptic about him after he so badly distorted so many things in the serial Devon ke dev mahadev. Maa Parvati was shown as a weak soap opera bahu ..like she would literally have to apologize for killing asur infront of Lord Shiva...There were many more horrendous distortions but him particularly trying to portray Maa Durga as weak bahu was very low
thanx for exposing him rajiv ji.i watched his show for 5 mins and i was shocked by the utter garbage he talks on t.v.,he is wrong at so many lvl u have to write a book just to correct his nonsense.
How can you support your argument.. Do you have some example to back you up ?
Amazing India Um... Devdutt ji is wrong.. Only according to you and your Rajiv ji and your 428 likers... Good bye...
s a Wow, I don't know about Devdutt ji's 'twitter comment' but you sure seem to have a stable mind and a perfect life....Good luck with it... 😊👌🙏
I think I heard this devdutt pattnaik guy first on NDTV. I just ignored him thinking that he is just another ignorant writer. I did find his talks lacking depth and ignorant (was not really being judgmental at that time) Clearly not knowledgeable i felt. If I recall in the video, he talked about ramayana and mahabharata as myths. He got the very fact of ithihasas and mythology wrong. I just skipped the video and just ignored him. After all I was right about him. This is insane.
Sir why don't you expose him on National stage?
He has been polluting Indian Ethos very skillfully for a long time!
I'm really scared of losing actual knowledge of our Vedas, Puranas and Upanishads
Karan Shukla ~ Simply because our entire Bharatiya system, since the last 400 years, be it political or administrative or media have been brainwashed in to secularism (which is a christian idea and then we have the muslim appeasment that went on for years) that people like Rajiv have been permanently banned, sidelined and un-invited from ever going on national TV or national stage such as literary festivals by powerful gatekeepers branding him as a communal sanghi. Rajiv have been trying to do that for decades, but has no help from anyone who have power or money. Billionaire business people like the Ambanis are supporting Pattnaik. Tatas are supporting western theologians who stole ideas from Dharma and representing them back to Bharat as their own. Hindu leaders like our beloved Modi have their hands tied up in their back and not able to do much. I hope you get the idea how odds are stacked up against Sanantanis ( or Hindus).
Kudala_Mangalooru
I agree to your point but there are more Congressis supporting him than BJP. There are more than 30 millions of followers of him who are Congress Supporters.
Now Modiji can't straightaway demolish Pattnaik because every step he has to take taking in consideration of constitution and freedom of speech! He is working backside but can't thrash him on his face! Congress supports him openly. RSS and BJP are against him strictly!
DP's support may be an attempt by the anti-cultural foreign forces, however it's helping waking Bhartiya's up to our own culture's nuances & finding the right things out ! Good for us :-) ... Let us now read our Ramayan, Mahabharat, Ved, Upanishads, Puran, Geeta, Bhagwat, etc., learn Sanskrit & get closer to our roots by ourselves. To start with, works from Gita Press, Bharti Vidya Bhavan, Ramakrishna Mission are the ones to be trusted.
Anshu Singare
Thanks ✌️
dont be spectator, share this video on your social media..
15:18 real discussion starts
Thanks.. Best comment so far
please make this video in hindi also because many are getting brain washed by watching him on Epic hindi tv channel
I watched him on Epic channel..his presentation was quit interesting though.
type c for hindi captions
@@himanshusojitra1 Many hindus feel that
I thought brahmins had shifted from Hindi to English, and now hindi was only for lower castes.
Yes. I will inform my contacts to stop buying Devdutta patnaik. Sudarsan Hyderabad
I had heard few short video clips of Devdatta Patnaik and thought him to be genuine however, thanks for this video by Mr. Rajiv Malhotra. Thanks a lot to Mr. Nityananda Mishra, i would like to read your books sir.
Hahaha mere sath bhi same ahe hua tha 😂 😂
I on the other hand saw his few videos and knew he is an idiot
he is not genuine, he entertains liberals
Same here...
I saw one of his interview in one of the interview he was saying HINDU word is only 200 years old. Being a SIKH I study SRI GURU GRANTH SAHIB &
HINDU word is used in 16th century 2-3 time in it. Then I came to know about his knowledge.
Sivaji Maharaj also used the word Hindu many times.
Hindu word always existed because it is a geographical identity
Hindutva.....not Hinduism.....
I agree.. this patnk guys knows nothing....Hindu is the combination of Himalayas + Sindhu... The region from the himalayas passing through the Sindhu river and beyond. Its not Sindhu mis-pronounced hindu by persians as commonly thought. Civilizations are generally defined around Rivers.. in this case Sarasvati-Sindhu Nadi Sabhyata.
The word Hindu is mentioned in our old sacred scriptures it is clearly not 200 years old this Pattnaik is a total gone case he is just filled with dirt in his mind
Way you explained all is true and logical still people don't prefer to read real source they just attracted towards marketing strategy. We need writers like you to make awareness
I am from Odisha. I know that Karanas (Patnaik,'s castes) are not exploited ones, they are the top high-caste people in Odisha. Pattnayaks are the richest and landlord people in odisha. They have a history of exploiting others. This guy is just a smartass propagandist.
Debiprasadini Mishra I seriously think that people like you , who know this I mean the caste politics that he raises should expose him & question him ... coz most of us don’t know about these things
dont be spectator, share this video on your social media..
Dont say all these non sense for karanas. We might be general but we dont exploit anybody. We are not landlords nor we anti hindus. Think before generalizing. Karanas are backbone of odia litreture, dance, art ,business and politics.
@JUST DO IT buddy don't blame Patnaik on Katak, as I'm from Katak & I don't agree with Pattnaik. Actually most of Kakias are not from Katak, but from Kedrapada, Jagatsinghpur & Jajapur.... where as we the original Katakana R being Defamed.
@@srmohanty7460 buddy Some PPL R morons like "Devdutt Patnaik" & some hate mongers who defame the entire group from one or to like the coment above.
This is a total eye opener for me. The kind of subtle conditioning of our minds devdutt patnaik is doing through his books which gullible like me read is preposterous! I feel disturbed by the fraudulent propaganda he has committed to millions of gullible readers who DO not have time and patience to understand our epics and scriptures in its traditional form!
Sir, I always felt that something was wrong with this Pattnaik when I used to hear him or read his articles. Now my thoughts are so sorted. Thank you. Pranam.🙏
Hats off to two great Pandits of India (Rajiv Sir + guest) for making us so proud. God bless!
What if there is no Rajiv Malhotra to confront this.Horrible
Thank you Rajiv Malhotraji and Nityananda Mishraji for your sincere effort to tell the truth about Devdutt Patnaik to us. I am going to unlike his Epic channel and I will spread awareness among the people regarding not to follow his Epic Channel and ask the same questions which you have told in the video.
Max muller of India:-devduttpatnayak
In india people need fairy tales and he provides it very well, maybe that is y he is so famous n these anti-intelletual people follow him blindly.
N used to follow him in my grad years but not now can u please tell me y there are shows and book still being launched in India since he is a damage to culture he should b restricted and a job from govn should b given to write factual fairy stories so that even he cant question on authority #job to mil h rai h vo b govn
Ji Tripathi ji sahi bat h
Thanks for saving me from the trap of Pattanaik. He is way more sinister or stupid than what appears.
Superb. Nityanad ji. Very Impressed. My pranaams to your tapasya
I have neither read devdutts books or yours.
But I have read bhagwat gita more than 50 times and each time I come across something new and according to me it is told by Krishna so people can have their own interpretations every time.
You're free to have your interpretations but that's one thing. You cannot sell "your ideas" in a way that mislead people. This is exactly why they raised such an issue. The mass public is being presented with something marked as Fact where it's only a mere opinion. See how they said its a marketing strategy.
This is the root cause of the problem... Ppl will always be misinformed or will misinform others till they derieve their own interpretation out of what's written in Geeta.. the aim should be to understand what actually Geeta is saying not what we understood out of it... Because what we understand is the making of our own mind not the essence of what actually Geeta is trying to convey.
@@AS-pm2be I agree to you ...
Got it but...it says "My" Gita....he shares his experience..... Nowhere written this is the ultimate interpretation ......
@@ggpz1979 --- These are " OUR " interpretations of HIS Gita. Don't try to defend mediocrity.
For someone who is a brahmin himself, the critic does not seem to be aware of the different Brahmin subcastes of South India. This seems to be an inherent bias combined with a knowledge deficit.
For your kind information, Nityanand Misra, Patnaiks are actually Brahmins. They are Niyogi Brahmins similar to Kayastha Brahmins etc. So, Devdutt Patnaik is not a non-Brahmin demonstrating anti-Brahminism.
Secondly, I have read his books. Before reading them, I was at no point misled that he is an expert on scriptures. He clearly says in his foreword that he has distilled his knowledge and understanding of the scriptures from the stories he learnt from his own grandfather who is a temple priest and other elders of his family.
Thirdly, I am a physician and Devdutt Patnaik, I hear, is also a doctor. In his books, I have found that he tries to reinterpret ancient Hindu scriptures through the prism of modern scientific understanding of human psychology. In my opinion, he has done a fairly good job and maybe that is why, his works are palatable to modern readers, who do not believe Hindu religion was ever fixed or dogmatic in its approach.
Fourth, philosophical works are never classified as fiction or non-fiction binary. Would you consider "MEDITATIONS" by Marcus Aurelius or Bertrand Russell or Voltaire's works as fiction or non-fiction?
Fifth, Malhotra brings up Adishankaracharya & Nagarjunacharya but does not seem to realise that at the time these great philosophers had started their movements, they had reinterpreted the Hindu scriptures themselves, went around the country debating with other philosophers and convincing them and these philosophies have been rejuvenated with mild changes since then.
Sixth, not every great philosopher in the Hindu religion has arisen from a Parampara or tradition with Sadhanas and a certificate from some institute. Can you show me one God man in India who can display his certificate proving his training and knowledge? How many institutes do you know in the history of India where such diplomas etc were given? How many such institutes have actually witnessed and supervised the training of our great Hindu philosophers?
I used to like him after watching him on Epic channel.even I installed Epic on my phone for Patnayak. Now my mind is blowing the hell out.
Now I know why he was interviewed by these left leaning media channels.
I use to watch devdutt patnayak in Epic channel from now onwards I don’t watch this channel
Devadutt is not good at all. Simply commenting n writings books without parampara. ... many more he needs to learn n seek many things. He seemed to be egoist .
What is experience on it
I used to appreciate his comments which is good like a political persona
The channel is certainly very good. Devdutt Patnaik show isn't.
if devdutt patnayak mother and sister are in photo will he say that they both are lesbians
Ayyyy LMAO
hahahaha
Ravi Chandel good one 😁😁😁😁
Ravi Chandel hahahahahha and if in the pic his father and brother thy must be gays lolzzzz
Hahahhahahhah
All these 4.6k people who disliked the video, did you even listen to the video before clicking on dislike!!?? 😳
