Fun facts about INDIA- 1. World's oldest religion - sanatan dharma (Hinduism) 2. World's oldest language- sanskrit 3. World's oldest civilization- Indus valley 4. World's oldest written text- rig veda 5. World's oldest form of martial art- kalaripayattu Even Kung fu was originated by an INDIAN- BODHIdharma.
@@pranavkul525 u are correct buddy and one more thing sanskrit isnt the oldest language it is one of the oldest language(historical proof) and yes mesopotamian is the oldest civilisation
@@AniketKumar-dj8jy oh yeah I missed that one too. Historically, it's found that writing was first discovered in Mesopotamia where they started with using small pictures and symbols to communicate their message, and later on moved to using those symbols to denote different sounds, ultimately forming a language
@@pranavkul525 yes sumerian is historically the oldest language but i believe that sanskrit is the oldest language cuz in those times it was common to practice guru shishya parampara in gurukul which means that guru will verbally teach students so in those cases people did not write so how can we find proof on which language is the oldest and furthermore india was invaded several times and scriptures and temples were destroyed so we dont know really how old is sanskrit and sanatan dharma
The best thing I like about Hinduism is that you can question even god endlessly until your curiosity is satisfied 😂 Arjun did the same in the bhagvad gita. Also cheers to the pagans from the hindus🙌💗
@@sunainamadaan13 i think it happens in all ancient pagan (at least in case of south and east asia) as well as sanatan's sects which are now knowledge ad full fledged religions for example Buddhism ,jainism and sikhism.espite being nearly monotheistic (except buddhist which is atheistic) ,you can always question the ideas and have critical analysis. Today some people may get offended but that's on them ,there is not a single known event where people questioned the authority of some indian sect and got punished for it. Not a single case where sikh gururs ,jains,buddhist monks/priests got mad over ciritcal comment from people who wanted to know or redicule said faiths.
Please read the story of Nachiketa. It's so beautiful. He questioned and questioned YamaDharma Raja and exhausted him. Such is the beauty of sanatani ideology. You can question God. 🙏
@@MilkMocha56 Yeah. This concept of rigidity and the absolutely truth is a characteristic of only the Abrahamic faiths as far as I know. Most other religions, but especially the ones in the Dharmic fold ("Hinduism", Buddhism and Jainism) are very open minded. I'm sure the other ancient polytheistic religions like Hellenism and Nordic religions were more open than the Abrahamic faiths.
Mythology means story with supernatural beings who were added later on to make story or events more interesting.and something which can not be proved or disapproved. Mythology is unknown event, you are not sure if it is possible so it's neither true or false. Like god, who can give proof that god exists or does not exist. Something unknown is called mythology. Too good to be true but not impossible.
@@MilkMocha56 sorry to say our sanatan dharm is not mythology our history are not just stories they are history we have proofs of those histories that happened in those stories so stop calling mythology... Sanatan dharm is the only dharm which talks about seeing god and experiencing god.. So many people have seen god and so many people hav experienced god!! God is not just a simple human being which will rome in the streets!! .... Our sanatan dhram are not mythology!!! Have you ever heard Christian mythology or jews mythology or islam mythology?? No right!!! These westerns made our santan dhram as mythology!! In my sanatan dhram you can see god you can experience god!
26:58 The cast system was meant to define the class of a person based on their karma, doing deeds of a warrior makes you a kshatriya, deeds of a priest makes you a brahmin. Through time it got misinterpreted as the class of family of one's birth being their cast.
it was not cast system.... it was work order ,,,we humans exploited and made it into cast.. later on Hinduism removes cast system.. it proves Hinduism can update & grow with time..
Caste system was created by the British n imposed as law. ...then in it became draconian .. n destroyed our society. Sadly the present n previous two or more generations of Hindus only remember this draconian version . Not the original true Hindu Tradition of Varna.
That is not caste the Varna system is a model for society to function not caste! A sudra can become Brahmin if he wished. Cast comes from the word casta it is Portuguese and it was used in india to categories people based on their family trade!
In Santan Dharma lifestyle, people used to choose what level of studies they wanted to do..Those who wanted to study Science and Spirituality, we segregated them as scholars or Brahman, those who wanted to join defence and administration of a country they were called Kshatriya and Business man as Vaish and those who chose to do menial work they were called Shudra..later on this system got rigid and became problematic
Thats been the main backbone of people getting out of right way of life and here we are, too late fix it even know its wrong becouse lots of minds are still infected.
Nalanda University was burnt in 1190CE ig, and it took 3 WHOLE months to burn all the approximately 9 MILLION books. Imagine how much knowledge was lost in those 9 million books, the world would have been sooo much different if we still had those books! Could you imagine just burning books for 90 days! Its insane
14:36 A lot of history and culture was lost because the worlds first university, Nalanda, was burned by invaders in 1190 CE. It was a world renowned place of learning of its time. Literally, the Buddha visited it. Maybe a little video about this would be fun!
Yes, and it took 3 WHOLE months to burn all the approximately 9 MILLION books. Imagine how much knowledge was lost in those 9 million books, the world would have been sooo much different if we still had those books! Could you imagine just burning books for 90 days! Its insane
@@justsomeone268 A lot of it has actually survived by virtue of Chinese monks who'd come to Nalanda to get Buddhist texts translated into Cantonese. They took these books to China, and then when the communist revolution happened, these books were transferred to the Dalai Llama in Tibet. And when the Chinese invaded Tibet, the Dalai Llama took these texts on massive yak carts and brought them back to India (during Nehru's time). Sadly, nobody took an interest in retranslating these books up until very recently. Check out Rajiv Malhotra's campaign of retranslating these works back into Indic languages.
Many says in the west that Hinduism has 33 million gods 33 million gods is a western concept because notation like million & billions is not used in india. India uses lakhs or crores. Many western authors have mistranslated the word Koti as Crore, instead of Type. koti = type (in Sanskrit) koti = crore (in Marathi) Our scriptures are in Sanskrit. So, there are 33 types of God in Hinduism, not 33 millions gods.
@@ramanujadasa121 just below 33 koti is mentioned , they have named all those 33 type of gods. And they are in exact order how our spinal cord is structured. Last being twin horse deities,similar to tailbone. The aswins are also a important part of nordic life. Those twim horse symbols on traditional nordic houses and germanic low halls ,are called ashwins. Sometimes dragons replace horses and vice versa.
@@MilkMocha56yes there are 33 koti (types) devtas mentioned in shastras but the context is different, also in shastras there are 33 koti(millions) devtas mentioned. First of all you have to understand the shastras. Devtas are actually uncountable but Parbrahman is only One.
The 4 fold system created is just for peak functioning of society. Also it's called 'Varna' in Sanskrit which means job or career, rather than 'Caste/Class' which are English words. Although it does say in the scriptures that you are born into a varna, it never says that you can't change it according to your tastes and liking. In fact 'Chandragupta Maurya' was born into a labour class (to peacock rearers) but got trained by a statesman/priest Chanakya to be a King. He was the greatest Indian ruler ever lived, who ruled over the entire Indian Subcontinent. If you love history, I urge you to research him 💫 All the best.
Yes, people only believe that brahmins are bad guys, and sudras were always exploited by them. But they will never tell you about how Chaanakya the great brahmin made Chandragupta (born as sudra) a great king(kshatriy by karm). They won't tell you how King Rama( a Kshatriya) and Sabar raj(king of a sudra clan) were friends and studied together in the same gurukul. They will tell people how guru Drona discriminated against Ekalabya saying that he was a sudra but they won't tell you that he was the son of the senapati (military chief of a kingdom) of Magadh who is actually a Kshatriya by karm.
This is so good. Good comment. Hinduism never said about how to change urself and become a bramhan. And it also said even rakshasa can worship god and become greatest than bramhan. I wonder why all this changed. I am sure its because hardships. Ppl found shortcuts here. Made new shit and said its the new religion.the amount of study put forth by hindu dharma is awesome and will not be equalled by any other human made dharma. Its heavy. Most of the religions focus on how to be human. Never focus on science or anything. Buddhism he heavily copied hindusm to try modifications. Again it needed hindu procedures, gods in their own area. I dnt knw, somewhere my religion i feel is well thought in detail. Like no other did.
23:21 This is the famous statue of nataraja(the cosmic dance of destruction) which is placed at CERN atomic and nuclear laboratory where the large hedron collider is placed .The Shiva statue was a gift from India to celebrate its association with CERN, which started in the 1960's and remains strong today. In the Hindu religion, Lord Shiva practiced Nataraj dance which symbolises Shakti, or life force.
Having travelled to the Vedic world of Nepal and India many times, I have learned that many many Hindu’s, academics, laypersons, yogis and all types of people know with certainty that their religion and culture is 10’s to 100’s of thousands of years old. I do know that our western mainstream chronology of history is full of holes and incongruencies.
Dharmic religions:- Sikhism , Buddhism, Jainism and hindusim. These all religions come together under 1 umbrella and even hindusim have faith in their gods and beliefs too because it again comes back to better life and humanity
*There needs to be a correction. Yoga is not about exercise, It is about realizing self and understanding how body, mind and universe works to unite ourselves with deeper reality. Yoga in west is Yogasana( Yoga Poses) which are exercises to make ur mind and body ready for actual Yoga, Yogasana(Exercises) are Subset of Yoga(Main process).* It's similar to how we say "Phones", Phones are meant to do many many functions but we only recognize it by it's ability to make a call. Same way Yogic Exercises are just one part of Complete Yogic process. Though it is very benifitial, It's not the real deal.*
Yes bro caste system when created by krishna was not like this it was that whatever u do thats ur caste like if u are a soldier then u are kshatriya(warrior class) if u are a teacher u are brahmin(priest class).. krishna himself was born in warrior class(kshatriya) but due to some reasons he was brought up by milk traders so he was also involved in that business so krishna said even though i am born into kshatriya but i am not i am a vaishya(trader class).. so caste system was on ur work not birth
Ur reply is ryt. But ask mr. Babasaheb ambedkar system ppl. They dnt focus on this. They focus on manusmriti. They will never try to debate on this. They will only said ki hindu is wrong bcoz manusmruti was made to differentiate. Not vedas. It pure shit
@@DimebagGaurav bro people got greedy and manipulated such that one is born into the caste hence the untouchability and oppression occurred that's why they rejected it
@@ashiq_keraliyan not only Brahmins brother it's a societal failure so we all should move forward to abolish this and then abolish the reservation system and then our country will progress ☺️
Quick story - Shiva was always meditating and Parvati wanted a child so her own meditation materialized a child of her own. Once when she went for a bathe she told teen Ganesha to keep a look out who unfortunately met up with Shiva A fight broke out between the guard and sage and it end with Shiva decapitating Ganesh. Parvati came running told shiva of what happen and her cries reached out to the heavens which brought other gods to her. Bramha told Narudh to bring the head of an young elephant and attached it to Ganesha. He was then blessed by many gods.
Bramha never asked to bring the head of an elephant. He asked narudh to bring the head of the child facing north i suppose (don’t remember the direction) while his/her mother in the opposite direction. Only creature he could find was an elephant. And then ganesh was blessed by all gods in the heaven.
Nice reaction. Just wanted to add that Yoga is not just a form of exercise. In fact the Sanskrit translation of meditation is called yoga. Yoga literally means to connect a link with or to add, which means to connect with Bramhan ॐ which can be achieved by doing meditation.
Yog and Yoga and Yogah anything can be pronounced depending on the ending of letter. Hindi is not Samskrutam brother. Please update yourself with Samskrutam language. The pronunciation in Samskrutam and Hindi varies even though the letter is same. Ga sound is pronounced as ga in Sanskrit but if you want pronounce as Gg then small line at end of letter G is present. In Samskrutam " aa " sound is there for wording of many words.
@@ananthkumar.g.6401 it's Yog, English speaking people couldn't pronounce it properly, that's not our problem,, they learn worst kind of Grammar, that's why they can't pronounce many languages properly,, and our advantage is we read that Grammar which derived from Panini Vyakaran that trains our tongues in every way, that's why we Indians can pronounce any kind of language
@@thesentry1434bro please don't draw conclusions based on your Hindi language. Hindi borrowed only letters not pronounciation. Shiv and Shiva can be pronounced in Samskrutam. To pronounce as shiv the end letter for V has small line under V in Samskrutam. Otherwise it is pronounced as Shiva in Samskrutam.
In Hinduism you can freely question Gods, u can freely do anything, I'm from Hindu family but I don't believe in any God & my parents never force me, I haven't visited any temple in last 10-15 years...😂 But you can't do the same thing in other religions,,, specially if you question Peacefuls, they will become violent 😂😂
bruh. I would suggest u to watch few videos on Advaita Vedanta mainly of Swami Sarvapriyananda and about Analytical Idealism of Bernard Kastrup and also Theory of Everything called CTMU. I was atheist before this knowledge and now I became spiritual after understand how wrong Modern Science is about Reality and how accurate our Scriptures are Mainly Vedopanishads/Vedanta.
@@NoThing-ec9kmI was also a hardcore scientistic atheist who dismissed and condemned all the world religions just a few years ago before finally coming across Hinduism and its core philosophy - Advaita Vedanta, and the rest is history. Jai Shree Ram🙏
6:18 Hinduism is not just 7 core beliefs. Infact, there are many hindu traditions which rejects some of these core beliefs and have additional, new ideas. For instance, 6:39 there are hindu traditions which doesn't subscribe to the idea of Brahman, one universal consciousness. Hindu traditions like Carvaka, nyaya doesn't subscribe to this idea. Therefore this video only covered a small portion of Hinduism. 7:53 Again, there are hindu traditions which doesn't subscribe to the concept of Atman. 8:50 Again, many hindu traditions doesn't believe in Vedas. For example lingayats, Shaiva siddhanta, Tantric schools, Carvaks etc dont believe in vedas. Like I said, this video is good for a beginner to know some information about hinduism but not in entirety. 9:19 Vedas always exists in cosmos and anyone can access it if individuals elevate themselves spiritually through yoga/meditation. So its not something thay is magically revealed to sages but rather its like this. The sages elevated themselves spiritually and while in meditation, they received wisdom of the vedas. Vedas literally means knowledge by the way. 24:31 Actually Hindus have much more denominations. Not just 4. Infact Hinduism have 9 schools of thought alone. 28:54 Manusmriti was never an authentic text. Hindus followed Varna system. But caste system was created by the British and pushed it in Africa, and India as an act of colonisation. There was no caste system in Hinduism. caste system was heavily practiced after British imported their hierarchical caste system followed in Europe. All authentic texts of Hinduism Vedas, Bhagavad Gita, Puranas say that people can freely move between varnas(loosely and falsely translated as caste) based on their merits. There are many many many recorded instances of this in the past. There hundreds of books like Manusmriti which literally talks the opposite of Manusmriti and besides, Manusmriti was never followed by anyone. Hindus only followed Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, puranas, and agamas. Hindus were against slaves thats why there was no slaves in ancient india. European slave system was introduced in India as caste system by the British. In Varna system you "become" a certain varna based on your merit. In caste system of the British an individual is "born" into a certain caste which is the same system followed by Europe. 30:14 Thats noy caste. Thats Jati. Varna is translated as caste. But here the jati(a clan) was translated as caste as well which is obviously false. So as you can see, even there is no proper translation of caste which shows how rigged and false the caste system is.
Cogito deserves so much appreciation for the hard work he put in studying such a big and complex thing like Hinduism and put it into one video and with animation. That's insane amount of work. Kudos to Cogito 🙌🏻
Hey Luke, I’ve been watching you for so long, ever since your MW videos, it’s amazing to see your channel uploading again! Your BF2042 reveal reaction is one of my favourites! There is a profound paranormal experience that I had a year ago that prompted me to seek understanding within myself. If you’re into UAPs, you’ll know that there are reports of massive black triangles that move silently over the sky. I saw one flying over to the military base that’s relatively close to my house in Queensland. It shook me in every way to just see it appear out of nowhere and then disappear out of sight. I mean, I’ve heard other people talk about this stuff and getting disturbed, but this was like disrupting to my being. My parents are Hindu (more or less practising 😂), so I kind of knew a little bit about some practices. I never really found meaning in them because I barely understand the language, or the need for complicated rituals. I’m sure a lot of people can understand where I’m coming from. I’m also a psych grad, so scientific thinking has been my bread and butter. However ever since experiencing this one-off paranormal thing I’ve grown rabidly interested in the paranormal, the UAP news from the US, and spirituality. Funny how those things tend to group themselves together like that, no? Recently I started practicing a transcendental version of yoga called kundalini that seeks to align the body, mind, and soul to the makeup of the universe. Stupidly (and with a lot of hope) I started practicing it by myself, despite warnings not to do so. It’s a powerful experience that can shatter your ego, and break many ideas you have about your life and reality. I would liken it to dipping yourself headfirst into the loving embrace of…something? With it comes a lot of benefits, but can have a lot of drawbacks, so this is not advocating for anyone to do this without proper support. As a Roganhead, I think a similar experience would be like consuming DMT, but endogenous. You can experience talking to entities sometimes too. How are these things linked? 😅 Weirdly enough, I think just having such a profound experience makes you want to seek another experience out. I went into spirituality for all the wrong reasons, but it still has benefits 😂 (at least for me, so far). It also made me realise that every transcendental part of every religion on Earth probably has some similar understanding of being able to ‘dip’ into universal consciousness, or what some would call God. I think Brahman is just an comprehensible manifestation of that…whatever it is. I just watched your upload about the disturbing experience you had in Arizona. It seemed to really bother you, and I don’t think it’s a good idea to let these experiences disturb us, simply because we have no control over those experiences. I thought you might want to look into this topic of transcendental meditation, considering your interest in Hinduism! Maybe practicing some mindfulness will help you gain a better understanding of yourself along the way to getting a hug from the universe. Happy seeking!
my fav.part of being a sanatani (hindu) is it doesn't talk ill about other religion maybe because there were no other or fewer religion back then or maybe because we beleave in so many gods
A sad fact - During the time of Mughal rule in India they burned the Nalanda university library destroying around 9 million books and manuscripts. The books had deep knowledge of science, religion, medicine, science, religion, medicine, and other disciplines of modern society.
Do you know even yoga got many sets :- the one which is famous is HATT YOGA which is physical body yoga Their is yoga for mental health, diseases, meditation and many more
One more Fact from Rig Veda that mentioned big river named Sarasvati which is not there in present but scientists found that there was a river there 12000 years ago. It's just one of many evidence proves its older then people think.
*The written record thing is unique to Hinduism because before getting written Hinduism was only a Oral tradition meaning that no one would write the knowledge and only transmit it orally because of wanting to keep encrypted so the knowledge won't be used by bad people maybe, That oral tradition was practiced for few thousands of years before getting written down. That's why it's unique thing.*
You should react to " why India is great Part 2" witn subtitles to learn how our indian ancestors were so ahead of its time in Science , math , literature and almost all aspects and you can learn more about India if you want to You don't need to watch part 1 if you decided to watch it
Look up, "Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama 1992 film by Yugo Sako". Probably the best version of Ramayan. Also, listen to the original dub, its dubbed by the same guy as "KALI MAA!" from the Indiana Jones movies
You will find Ramayan, Mahabharat, Gita, and other religious texts in Hindu household. It's extremely rare to find Manusmriti, yet the belief still remains among some sections of society. But there are no restrictions on Hindus. They can choose whatever profession they want to choose. Anyone who discriminates based on caste is looked down upon by the majority of Hindu society. So, things are looking quite promising.
Ramayan and Mahabharat are history and Gita is a small part of Mahabharta. While Vedas are foundation of all the philosophies and foundation of Sanatan.
@@Trade1001 very few. Reason being that printing press came into being relatively in recent times. People were still in trauma of protecting scriptures than popularizing them. Hindus are gaining confidence very slowly becaueven after independence political elite was trying to paint hindus as oppressors and Hindutwa as orthodox. Now the center has proud hindus and people are realizing the potential and grandeur of own history and culture. Pride is coming back. Now you can even purchase translated copies. We always had number of puranas, manas, Bhagwatam and yog vashishtha Ramayana at our home right from childhood. Further Good times are coming.
@priyankaporwal6129 True. Can't disagree with what you said. I have read Ramayana and Mahabharat. Would love to read the Upanishadas one day, but I fear I won't be able to understand it (I know a little bit of Sanskrit). A lot get lost in translations. A Christian could go to the father, or a Muslim could go to an Imam for clarity on their religious texts. Where could we go? Hope it will change soon.
Bhagwat Gita, Mahabharat and Ramayan are the very important texts... Specifically Gita and Mahabharata... As Gita is completely based on Upanishads and Mahabharat is where the whole Gita came from.
Remember this just the outsider's perspective of what Hinduism is, even many Hindus can't explain what Hinduism is, but everyone only knows few things that is important for them, there are so many different sects and variation of those sects that's impossible for anyone person to learn it all, but Ramayana and Mahabharata are the most influential stories in India and connects entire geography of India.
The word is a compound word formed by combining two words, bhū, “the earth,” and maṇḍala, “circular, round; circle.” The literal meaning of bhū- maṇḍala is therefore “earth-circle.” As such, there is no doubt that the idea of a round earth is present in the Purāṇas.
One more thing, the INDIA, HINDU, INDUS they are all western explorations, We are not hindus, we are sanatani. Sanatan is a dharm(not religion but a responsible way of living). We mention Hindu, Hinduism or religion just for better communication or clarity about Sanatana.
Love your videos Luke! Interestingly what has been mentioned in the scriptures is the true amalgamation of different schools of thoughts which evolved through the way of "Shastrarth" which is an intellectual debate on various concepts & ideology. There happened a famous shastratha in the 4th century BCE between the greatest Hindu sage Aadi Shankaracharya and Mandan Mishra, another great scholar, philosopher & writer.
I remember someone saying this: Suppose you live in America and you visit Africa for the first time. There, you see a Zebra and you are amazed to see that for the very first time. Now when you go back to America, you tell your friends and family members that you saw a horse with stripes on it. You say that because you were unaware of exactly what you saw but you could relate it with something you know. The same we can say about Hindu Gods, like Lord Ganesha for example. We described them as a God with a human body and an elephant head, but what do we know, we were not really there to see that. Those who have written down about them maybe couldn't express what they saw so they went for the closest analogy they could think of.
I suggest u three channels for deep research on hinduism 1.project shivoham 2.preaveen mohan(about temples and archeological findings interesting channel) 3.beer biceps and abhijit chavda podcasts
Excercise in YOG is a very small element. The purpose of it is to help with the spiritual process, understand your own life energies to its minutest detail and move the ball forward to Moksha ( Realization and liberation )
I went through kato upanishad a day back ...my mind is blown currently.. there is so much in Indian scriptures that I don't know if I can read all n understand them well .
The name is pronounced as 'Ganesh' so you were not wrong earlier... it's just that when translated to english language many names end with an 'a', making Ganesh 'Ganesha' so modern people who don't actually know the correct one pronounce it as 'Ganesha'. Other such example is 'Shiv' whom western people call 'Shiva'. On the other hand some names originally had an 'a' at the end... for example- Brahma is pronounced as 'Brahma' and not 'Brahm'.
Krishn Also says That. When I Preach And Teach Iam Brahmin. When I fight At War Iam Kshatriya. When I Trade Or do work Iam Vaishya. when I Clean For Myself Or Clean Iam shudra... Now People Made It Like shit.. But Now its getting better
As a Hindu, I understand that learning about Hinduism can be challenging due to its complexity. Intelligence, knowledge, and the true way of living are not simple things because the meaning of life death past present or future is COMPLEX...
28:29 yeah I am glad that he mentioned that and one more thing is that the Guru will decide which person want to become which part of Lord Vishnu based on their skill sets and their mindset and knowledge
13:13 CORRECTION.... This are the Shlokas... which May be sounds like a Poem or a Song... But it's not a Song... Actually this Shlokas written in this form with the Rhythm because in Ancient Time Hindu's Don't write this Vedas because it can be Stolen or Misused by invaders... Or someone Who Don't Believe in this Religion they can be Disrespect it... And hurts our religious sentiments. That's Why Vedas were originally transmitted through Oral tradition From Generation to Generation...
15:44 Let me add something, The Bhagawad Gita is the most sacred hindu text because it contains the whole conversation between Arjun and Lord Shri Krishna, the 9th incarnation of Lord Vishnu, it has solution to every problems of life , since you are born until you die, also, during this conversation, Lord Krishna also spoke about how the universe works, he spoke about how the mind controls the soul and how to take back the control, what happens to a soul after death and many more, also, during this conversation, Lord showed his divine form to Arjun, from that you can guess that how intense the conversation would have been. Lord Krishna also said that He is the God, He is everywhere, in every single atom, He is everything, He is present in every life form, infact every soul is within him, every soul is a part of him, He and all the souls are Eternal. It is amazing because the answers to these questions are given by Lord Shri Krishna, The Human form of the Divine Lord.
I would recommend that you' watch the video "Who am I" by Swami Sarvapriyananda. It's a longish video but it perfectly explains and summarises the most important teaching of Hinduism. It would help you get a good perspective of the religion. Great reaction. Cheers from India. ❤
There are thousands and million of books hinduism(Sanatan dharm) have such as how to do plastic surgery fix cancer diseases and etc. A single topic have its own book in our sanatan dharma
108 Upnishads, 18 Puranas, 4 Vedas, Shrimad Bhāgvatam 12 cantos consisting 18000 slokas (It's just called the summary of all Vedas (Which may take you a lifetime to read and understand)), Bhagavad Gita 700 slokas.
Upanishad born after questioning Vedas. That means Hindus don’t have commandments, they can humbly question anything to learn & evolve, like science, there is no end of questioning.
Namaste🙏 I appreciate your work and thank you all of your video about HINDU DHARMA. but one this It's not a hindu mythology, it is our history. lots of love from India. 🤍
Sanatan dhama 's most beautiful thing... u can debate any thing about dharma and u can even question bhagwan (god)... and that's why we believe ... world is one family❤
Fun fact the distance of the sun from the earth is given in one of our chalisa. "Hunuman Chalisa". " Yug Saharas Yojan par Bhanu". Yug*saharas*yojan= 153.6 million km. ❤❤❤❤❤
The picture or the statue of lord hanuman should not be kept in the place where couples sleep or in the kitchen as he stayed unmarried his whole life for his lord Ram.... Edit: shiva's dance is called tandav which is actually dance in anger....
28:00 Yes, in Mahabharata Krishna says your work define you cast not your birth. Like you call someone doctor or engineer by his work not cause he born doctor or engineer 😂😅
in Hinduism, the cast is determined by the type of work they do it is not predetermined. for eg if a kid from Warrior Clann doesn't want to fight and wants to pray he is a priest
fun facts: -Hanuman is an inspiration for song wukong with most of their powers being similar, and song wukong is an inspiration for a collection of over powered anime characters such as goku from the dragon ball franchise and luffy from one piece. -A lot of tropes such as: brother vs brother, rescue the kidnapped lover, forbidden love, father vs unknown sons, brother joins his brother on a venture when he doesn't have to, overpowered and extremely loyal friend joining and overpowered pair making an overpowered trio, heroic sacrifice, lover being unknowingly pregnant and exiled and many many more can be found in the ramayana and probably inspired millions of stories with these tropes.
The most beautiful thing is that in first yuga God and demon lived in two different worlds, in second yuga God and evil lived in same world, in third yuga God and demon was in same family, and in fourth yuga od and demon lives in same body as said by buddha. Second thing is God stands for generator, operator and destroyer and there is Brahma, Vishnu and Mahadev. Third thing is Brahma is old man and old man have knowledge and wisdom, so his wife is Sarswati , Vishnu is operator so he needs wealth, so his wife is laxmi and Shiva is quiet, so it shows that quite people are strongest..
On day 1 of Mahabharata: When Lord Krishna started to tell Geeta Gyan to Arjun , they say that all God came there in various forms to listen that and even Shiva came out of his Dhyan to listen Geeta Gyan.
I always wonder why hinduism is a combination of maths and science 🤔 well after i saw this video i also watched that " how universe is formed according to hinduism " its trippy ..
Brahman is not only formless , the concept of formless brahman is accepted by only one school of vedanta other schools of Vedanta believe brahman has form
I have a new channel where I will be looking at Hinduism! Its called @OriginalPagan Go check it out!

@@pranavkul525 u are correct buddy and one more thing sanskrit isnt the oldest language it is one of the oldest language(historical proof) and yes mesopotamian is the oldest civilisation
@@AniketKumar-dj8jy oh yeah I missed that one too. Historically, it's found that writing was first discovered in Mesopotamia where they started with using small pictures and symbols to communicate their message, and later on moved to using those symbols to denote different sounds, ultimately forming a language
@@pranavkul525 yes sumerian is historically the oldest language but i believe that sanskrit is the oldest language cuz in those times it was common to practice guru shishya parampara in gurukul which means that guru will verbally teach students so in those cases people did not write so how can we find proof on which language is the oldest and furthermore india was invaded several times and scriptures and temples were destroyed so we dont know really how old is sanskrit and sanatan dharma
The best thing I like about Hinduism is that you can question even god endlessly until your curiosity is satisfied 😂
Arjun did the same in the bhagvad gita. Also cheers to the pagans from the hindus🙌💗
It can only happen in Sanatan Dharam...
Rather u would be kill in other religion ( actually they r not religion , only a MajHub )..
I am that person!! 😅😅
@@sunainamadaan13 i think it happens in all ancient pagan (at least in case of south and east asia) as well as sanatan's sects which are now knowledge ad full fledged religions for example Buddhism ,jainism and sikhism.espite being nearly monotheistic (except buddhist which is atheistic) ,you can always question the ideas and have critical analysis. Today some people may get offended but that's on them ,there is not a single known event where people questioned the authority of some indian sect and got punished for it. Not a single case where sikh gururs ,jains,buddhist monks/priests got mad over ciritcal comment from people who wanted to know or redicule said faiths.
Please read the story of Nachiketa.
It's so beautiful. He questioned and questioned YamaDharma Raja and exhausted him. Such is the beauty of sanatani ideology. You can question God. 🙏
@@MilkMocha56 Yeah. This concept of rigidity and the absolutely truth is a characteristic of only the Abrahamic faiths as far as I know. Most other religions, but especially the ones in the Dharmic fold ("Hinduism", Buddhism and Jainism) are very open minded. I'm sure the other ancient polytheistic religions like Hellenism and Nordic religions were more open than the Abrahamic faiths.
It's not a hindu mythology, it is our history ❤
It's actually LEGEND ...
Legend = History + mythology
@@JillValentine-n6y do you even know the meaning of mythology? ... There is nothing like "legend = history + mythology" History is history.
Mythology means story with supernatural beings who were added later on to make story or events more interesting.and something which can not be proved or disapproved.
Mythology is unknown event, you are not sure if it is possible so it's neither true or false. Like god, who can give proof that god exists or does not exist.
Something unknown is called mythology. Too good to be true but not impossible.
@@MilkMocha56 sorry to say our sanatan dharm is not mythology our history are not just stories they are history we have proofs of those histories that happened in those stories so stop calling mythology... Sanatan dharm is the only dharm which talks about seeing god and experiencing god.. So many people have seen god and so many people hav experienced god!! God is not just a simple human being which will rome in the streets!! .... Our sanatan dhram are not mythology!!! Have you ever heard Christian mythology or jews mythology or islam mythology?? No right!!! These westerns made our santan dhram as mythology!! In my sanatan dhram you can see god you can experience god!
If you read Hindu holy books you start to hate Hinduism
26:58 The cast system was meant to define the class of a person based on their karma, doing deeds of a warrior makes you a kshatriya, deeds of a priest makes you a brahmin. Through time it got misinterpreted as the class of family of one's birth being their cast.
it was not cast system.... it was work order ,,,we humans exploited and made it into cast..
later on Hinduism removes cast system..
it proves Hinduism can update & grow with time..
Caste system was created by the British n imposed as law. ...then in it became draconian .. n destroyed our society. Sadly the present n previous two or more generations of Hindus only remember this draconian version . Not the original true Hindu Tradition of Varna.
That is not caste the Varna system is a model for society to function not caste! A sudra can become Brahmin if he wished. Cast comes from the word casta it is Portuguese and it was used in india to categories people based on their family trade!
In Santan Dharma lifestyle, people used to choose what level of studies they wanted to do..Those who wanted to study Science and Spirituality, we segregated them as scholars or Brahman, those who wanted to join defence and administration of a country they were called Kshatriya and Business man as Vaish and those who chose to do menial work they were called Shudra..later on this system got rigid and became problematic
Thats been the main backbone of people getting out of right way of life and here we are, too late fix it even know its wrong becouse lots of minds are still infected.
Basically hinduism is :- love, joy , gaining knowledge, respect to nature and the universe, respect women , colours , lights and karma
Love child 💗 also respect old people

@@justsomeone268 A lot of it has actually survived by virtue of Chinese monks who'd come to Nalanda to get Buddhist texts translated into Cantonese. They took these books to China, and then when the communist revolution happened, these books were transferred to the Dalai Llama in Tibet. And when the Chinese invaded Tibet, the Dalai Llama took these texts on massive yak carts and brought them back to India (during Nehru's time). Sadly, nobody took an interest in retranslating these books up until very recently. Check out Rajiv Malhotra's campaign of retranslating these works back into Indic languages.

The best thing in Hinduism is do not follow blindly questioning is most important about everything
Many says in the west that Hinduism has 33 million gods
33 million gods is a western concept because notation like million & billions is not used in india. India uses lakhs or crores.
Many western authors have mistranslated the word Koti as Crore, instead of Type.
koti = type (in Sanskrit)
koti = crore (in Marathi)
Our scriptures are in Sanskrit. So, there are 33 types of God in Hinduism, not 33 millions gods.
Well explained
Lol u r wrong, there is 33 million devtas and also 33 types devtas context is different
@@ramanujadasa121you are right bro🗿🤝🏻🗿
@@ramanujadasa121 just below 33 koti is mentioned , they have named all those 33 type of gods. And they are in exact order how our spinal cord is structured. Last being twin horse deities,similar to tailbone. The aswins are also a important part of nordic life. Those twim horse symbols on traditional nordic houses and germanic low halls ,are called ashwins. Sometimes dragons replace horses and vice versa.
@@MilkMocha56yes there are 33 koti (types) devtas mentioned in shastras but the context is different, also in shastras there are 33 koti(millions) devtas mentioned. First of all you have to understand the shastras. Devtas are actually uncountable but Parbrahman is only One.
The 4 fold system created is just for peak functioning of society. Also it's called 'Varna' in Sanskrit which means job or career, rather than 'Caste/Class' which are English words. Although it does say in the scriptures that you are born into a varna, it never says that you can't change it according to your tastes and liking. In fact 'Chandragupta Maurya' was born into a labour class (to peacock rearers) but got trained by a statesman/priest Chanakya to be a King. He was the greatest Indian ruler ever lived, who ruled over the entire Indian Subcontinent. If you love history, I urge you to research him 💫 All the best.
Yes, people only believe that brahmins are bad guys, and sudras were always exploited by them. But they will never tell you about how Chaanakya the great brahmin made Chandragupta (born as sudra) a great king(kshatriy by karm). They won't tell you how King Rama( a Kshatriya) and Sabar raj(king of a sudra clan) were friends and studied together in the same gurukul. They will tell people how guru Drona discriminated against Ekalabya saying that he was a sudra but they won't tell you that he was the son of the senapati (military chief of a kingdom) of Magadh who is actually a Kshatriya by karm.
Agreed with your point God never created caste system! ❤
This is so good. Good comment. Hinduism never said about how to change urself and become a bramhan. And it also said even rakshasa can worship god and become greatest than bramhan. I wonder why all this changed. I am sure its because hardships. Ppl found shortcuts here. Made new shit and said its the new religion.the amount of study put forth by hindu dharma is awesome and will not be equalled by any other human made dharma. Its heavy. Most of the religions focus on how to be human. Never focus on science or anything. Buddhism he heavily copied hindusm to try modifications. Again it needed hindu procedures, gods in their own area. I dnt knw, somewhere my religion i feel is well thought in detail. Like no other did.
23:21 This is the famous statue of nataraja(the cosmic dance of destruction) which is placed at CERN atomic and nuclear laboratory where the large hedron collider is placed .The Shiva statue was a gift from India to celebrate its association with CERN, which started in the 1960's and remains strong today. In the Hindu religion, Lord Shiva practiced Nataraj dance which symbolises Shakti, or life force.
Is that where that one star wars character gets her name?
Nataraja is cosmic dance.
Means universe is ever giving new forms , ever expanding.

Having travelled to the Vedic world of Nepal and India many times, I have learned that many many Hindu’s, academics, laypersons, yogis and all types of people know with certainty that their religion and culture is 10’s to 100’s of thousands of years old. I do know that our western mainstream chronology of history is full of holes and incongruencies.
Dharmic religions:- Sikhism , Buddhism, Jainism and hindusim. These all religions come together under 1 umbrella and even hindusim have faith in their gods and beliefs too because it again comes back to better life and humanity
*There needs to be a correction. Yoga is not about exercise, It is about realizing self and understanding how body, mind and universe works to unite ourselves with deeper reality. Yoga in west is Yogasana( Yoga Poses) which are exercises to make ur mind and body ready for actual Yoga, Yogasana(Exercises) are Subset of Yoga(Main process).* It's similar to how we say "Phones", Phones are meant to do many many functions but we only recognize it by it's ability to make a call. Same way Yogic Exercises are just one part of Complete Yogic process. Though it is very benifitial, It's not the real deal.*
Yes bro caste system when created by krishna was not like this it was that whatever u do thats ur caste like if u are a soldier then u are kshatriya(warrior class) if u are a teacher u are brahmin(priest class).. krishna himself was born in warrior class(kshatriya) but due to some reasons he was brought up by milk traders so he was also involved in that business so krishna said even though i am born into kshatriya but i am not i am a vaishya(trader class).. so caste system was on ur work not birth
Ur reply is ryt. But ask mr. Babasaheb ambedkar system ppl. They dnt focus on this. They focus on manusmriti. They will never try to debate on this. They will only said ki hindu is wrong bcoz manusmruti was made to differentiate. Not vedas. It pure shit
@@DimebagGaurav bro people got greedy and manipulated such that one is born into the caste hence the untouchability and oppression occurred that's why they rejected it

Quick story - Shiva was always meditating and Parvati wanted a child so her own meditation materialized a child of her own. Once when she went for a bathe she told teen Ganesha to keep a look out who unfortunately met up with Shiva A fight broke out between the guard and sage and it end with Shiva decapitating Ganesh. Parvati came running told shiva of what happen and her cries reached out to the heavens which brought other gods to her. Bramha told Narudh to bring the head of an young elephant and attached it to Ganesha. He was then blessed by many gods.
Bramha never asked to bring the head of an elephant.
He asked narudh to bring the head of the child facing north i suppose (don’t remember the direction) while his/her mother in the opposite direction.
Only creature he could find was an elephant. And then ganesh was blessed by all gods in the heaven.
@@muskaanchandra9794correct.
Hinduism can solve world problems 🏁
Nice reaction. Just wanted to add that Yoga is not just a form of exercise. In fact the Sanskrit translation of meditation is called yoga. Yoga literally means to connect a link with or to add, which means to connect with Bramhan ॐ which can be achieved by doing meditation.
We call Yog not yoga and founder of Yog is God Shiva
And brother, it's not Shiva, it's just Shiv,, Shiva is Goddess Parvati wife of Lord Shiv
Its yoga not yog. Yog means fate in Sanskrit
Yog and Yoga and Yogah anything can be pronounced depending on the ending of letter.
Hindi is not Samskrutam brother.
Please update yourself with Samskrutam language.
The pronunciation in Samskrutam and Hindi varies even though the letter is same.
Ga sound is pronounced as ga in Sanskrit but if you want pronounce as Gg then small line at end of letter G is present.
In Samskrutam " aa " sound is there for wording of many words.
@@ananthkumar.g.6401 it's Yog, English speaking people couldn't pronounce it properly, that's not our problem,, they learn worst kind of Grammar, that's why they can't pronounce many languages properly,, and our advantage is we read that Grammar which derived from Panini Vyakaran that trains our tongues in every way, that's why we Indians can pronounce any kind of language
@@thesentry1434bro please don't draw conclusions based on your Hindi language.
Hindi borrowed only letters not pronounciation.
Shiv and Shiva can be pronounced in Samskrutam.
To pronounce as shiv the end letter for V has small line under V in Samskrutam.
Otherwise it is pronounced as Shiva in Samskrutam.
In Hinduism you can freely question Gods, u can freely do anything, I'm from Hindu family but I don't believe in any God & my parents never force me, I haven't visited any temple in last 10-15 years...😂

6:18 Hinduism is not just 7 core beliefs. Infact, there are many hindu traditions which rejects some of these core beliefs and have additional, new ideas. For instance, 6:39 there are hindu traditions which doesn't subscribe to the idea of Brahman, one universal consciousness. Hindu traditions like Carvaka, nyaya doesn't subscribe to this idea. Therefore this video only covered a small portion of Hinduism. 7:53 Again, there are hindu traditions which doesn't subscribe to the concept of Atman. 8:50 Again, many hindu traditions doesn't believe in Vedas. For example lingayats, Shaiva siddhanta, Tantric schools, Carvaks etc dont believe in vedas. Like I said, this video is good for a beginner to know some information about hinduism but not in entirety. 9:19 Vedas always exists in cosmos and anyone can access it if individuals elevate themselves spiritually through yoga/meditation. So its not something thay is magically revealed to sages but rather its like this. The sages elevated themselves spiritually and while in meditation, they received wisdom of the vedas. Vedas literally means knowledge by the way. 24:31 Actually Hindus have much more denominations. Not just 4. Infact Hinduism have 9 schools of thought alone. 28:54 Manusmriti was never an authentic text. Hindus followed Varna system. But caste system was created by the British and pushed it in Africa, and India as an act of colonisation. There was no caste system in Hinduism. caste system was heavily practiced after British imported their hierarchical caste system followed in Europe. All authentic texts of Hinduism Vedas, Bhagavad Gita, Puranas say that people can freely move between varnas(loosely and falsely translated as caste) based on their merits. There are many many many recorded instances of this in the past. There hundreds of books like Manusmriti which literally talks the opposite of Manusmriti and besides, Manusmriti was never followed by anyone. Hindus only followed Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, puranas, and agamas. Hindus were against slaves thats why there was no slaves in ancient india. European slave system was introduced in India as caste system by the British. In Varna system you "become" a certain varna based on your merit. In caste system of the British an individual is "born" into a certain caste which is the same system followed by Europe. 30:14 Thats noy caste. Thats Jati. Varna is translated as caste. But here the jati(a clan) was translated as caste as well which is obviously false. So as you can see, even there is no proper translation of caste which shows how rigged and false the caste system is.
Exactly
True
Good information
Cogito deserves so much appreciation for the hard work he put in studying such a big and complex thing like Hinduism and put it into one video and with animation. That's insane amount of work. Kudos to Cogito 🙌🏻
Hey Luke, I’ve been watching you for so long, ever since your MW videos, it’s amazing to see your channel uploading again! Your BF2042 reveal reaction is one of my favourites!
There is a profound paranormal experience that I had a year ago that prompted me to seek understanding within myself. If you’re into UAPs, you’ll know that there are reports of massive black triangles that move silently over the sky. I saw one flying over to the military base that’s relatively close to my house in Queensland. It shook me in every way to just see it appear out of nowhere and then disappear out of sight. I mean, I’ve heard other people talk about this stuff and getting disturbed, but this was like disrupting to my being.
My parents are Hindu (more or less practising 😂), so I kind of knew a little bit about some practices. I never really found meaning in them because I barely understand the language, or the need for complicated rituals. I’m sure a lot of people can understand where I’m coming from. I’m also a psych grad, so scientific thinking has been my bread and butter. However ever since experiencing this one-off paranormal thing I’ve grown rabidly interested in the paranormal, the UAP news from the US, and spirituality. Funny how those things tend to group themselves together like that, no?
Recently I started practicing a transcendental version of yoga called kundalini that seeks to align the body, mind, and soul to the makeup of the universe. Stupidly (and with a lot of hope) I started practicing it by myself, despite warnings not to do so. It’s a powerful experience that can shatter your ego, and break many ideas you have about your life and reality. I would liken it to dipping yourself headfirst into the loving embrace of…something? With it comes a lot of benefits, but can have a lot of drawbacks, so this is not advocating for anyone to do this without proper support. As a Roganhead, I think a similar experience would be like consuming DMT, but endogenous. You can experience talking to entities sometimes too.
How are these things linked? 😅 Weirdly enough, I think just having such a profound experience makes you want to seek another experience out. I went into spirituality for all the wrong reasons, but it still has benefits 😂 (at least for me, so far). It also made me realise that every transcendental part of every religion on Earth probably has some similar understanding of being able to ‘dip’ into universal consciousness, or what some would call God. I think Brahman is just an comprehensible manifestation of that…whatever it is.
I just watched your upload about the disturbing experience you had in Arizona. It seemed to really bother you, and I don’t think it’s a good idea to let these experiences disturb us, simply because we have no control over those experiences. I thought you might want to look into this topic of transcendental meditation, considering your interest in Hinduism! Maybe practicing some mindfulness will help you gain a better understanding of yourself along the way to getting a hug from the universe. Happy seeking!
my fav.part of being a sanatani (hindu) is it doesn't talk ill about other religion maybe because there were no other or fewer religion back then
or maybe because we beleave in so many gods
A sad fact - During the time of Mughal rule in India they burned the Nalanda university library destroying around 9 million books and manuscripts. The books had deep knowledge of science, religion, medicine, science, religion, medicine, and other disciplines of modern society.
Well the wifes of Shiva - sati and pravati are same not different 😅
Same in dofferent Avatar. Sati left her body by jumping in father's Yagna. So reborn as Parvati as daughter of King of Himalaya.
@@sarvajanhitaay ofcourse I know that you are explaining this to a Hindu 🙂
Do you know even yoga got many sets :- the one which is famous is HATT YOGA which is physical body yoga
Their is yoga for mental health, diseases, meditation and many more
Bhagvad Gita is not poem from Vedas it's from Mahabharata. Note: Vedas are the oldest Scriptures in sanatan dharma and no one knows who wrote it.
One more Fact from Rig Veda that mentioned big river named Sarasvati which is not there in present but scientists found that there was a river there 12000 years ago. It's just one of many evidence proves its older then people think.
500yrs ago a Muslim, burnt 9million of hindu sculptures. In Nalanda University, And that's the reason we cannot do those calculations now.
*The written record thing is unique to Hinduism because before getting written Hinduism was only a Oral tradition meaning that no one would write the knowledge and only transmit it orally because of wanting to keep encrypted so the knowledge won't be used by bad people maybe, That oral tradition was practiced for few thousands of years before getting written down. That's why it's unique thing.*

Look up, "Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama 1992 film by Yugo Sako". Probably the best version of Ramayan. Also, listen to the original dub, its dubbed by the same guy as "KALI MAA!" from the Indiana Jones movies
You will find Ramayan, Mahabharat, Gita, and other religious texts in Hindu household. It's extremely rare to find Manusmriti, yet the belief still remains among some sections of society. But there are no restrictions on Hindus. They can choose whatever profession they want to choose. Anyone who discriminates based on caste is looked down upon by the majority of Hindu society. So, things are looking quite promising.
Ramayan and Mahabharat are history and Gita is a small part of Mahabharta.
While Vedas are foundation of all the philosophies and foundation of Sanatan.
@@sarvajanhitaay but how many modern Hindu households have Vedas?
@@Trade1001 very few. Reason being that printing press came into being relatively in recent times. People were still in trauma of protecting scriptures than popularizing them. Hindus are gaining confidence very slowly becaueven after independence political elite was trying to paint hindus as oppressors and Hindutwa as orthodox.
Now the center has proud hindus and people are realizing the potential and grandeur of own history and culture. Pride is coming back.
Now you can even purchase translated copies. We always had number of puranas, manas, Bhagwatam and yog vashishtha Ramayana at our home right from childhood.
Further Good times are coming.
@priyankaporwal6129 True. Can't disagree with what you said. I have read Ramayana and Mahabharat. Would love to read the Upanishadas one day, but I fear I won't be able to understand it (I know a little bit of Sanskrit). A lot get lost in translations. A Christian could go to the father, or a Muslim could go to an Imam for clarity on their religious texts. Where could we go? Hope it will change soon.
Bhagwat Gita, Mahabharat and Ramayan are the very important texts... Specifically Gita and Mahabharata... As Gita is completely based on Upanishads and Mahabharat is where the whole Gita came from.
Remember this just the outsider's perspective of what Hinduism is, even many Hindus can't explain what Hinduism is, but everyone only knows few things that is important for them, there are so many different sects and variation of those sects that's impossible for anyone person to learn it all, but Ramayana and Mahabharata are the most influential stories in India and connects entire geography of India.
5:11 nice pic choice its in Bali my very proudly hometown, recommended if u want to travel there
proud hindu here
The word is a compound word formed by combining two words, bhū, “the earth,” and maṇḍala, “circular, round; circle.” The literal meaning of bhū- maṇḍala is therefore “earth-circle.” As such, there is no doubt that the idea of a round earth is present in the Purāṇas.
One more thing, the INDIA, HINDU, INDUS they are all western explorations,
We are not hindus, we are sanatani. Sanatan is a dharm(not religion but a responsible way of living).
We mention Hindu, Hinduism or religion just for better communication or clarity about Sanatana.
*U r actually correct, It's not Ganesha it's just Ganesh. In English we say Ganesha, Yoga, Shiva, but actually its Ganesh, Yog, Shiv, etc*
That’s only in Hindi not in Sanskrit
Love your videos Luke! Interestingly what has been mentioned in the scriptures is the true amalgamation of different schools of thoughts which evolved through the way of "Shastrarth" which is an intellectual debate on various concepts & ideology. There happened a famous shastratha in the 4th century BCE between the greatest Hindu sage Aadi Shankaracharya and Mandan Mishra, another great scholar, philosopher & writer.
You were correct buddy as its is pronunced as "Ganesh" but British English made it "Ganesha".
I remember someone saying this: Suppose you live in America and you visit Africa for the first time. There, you see a Zebra and you are amazed to see that for the very first time. Now when you go back to America, you tell your friends and family members that you saw a horse with stripes on it. You say that because you were unaware of exactly what you saw but you could relate it with something you know. The same we can say about Hindu Gods, like Lord Ganesha for example. We described them as a God with a human body and an elephant head, but what do we know, we were not really there to see that. Those who have written down about them maybe couldn't express what they saw so they went for the closest analogy they could think of.
I suggest u three channels for deep research on hinduism

Excercise in YOG is a very small element. The purpose of it is to help with the spiritual process, understand your own life energies to its minutest detail and move the ball forward to Moksha ( Realization and liberation )
I went through kato upanishad a day back ...my mind is blown currently.. there is so much in Indian scriptures that I don't know if I can read all n understand them well .
The name is pronounced as 'Ganesh' so you were not wrong earlier... it's just that when translated to english language many names end with an 'a', making Ganesh 'Ganesha' so modern people who don't actually know the correct one pronounce it as 'Ganesha'.
Other such example is 'Shiv' whom western people call 'Shiva'.
On the other hand some names originally had an 'a' at the end... for example- Brahma is pronounced as 'Brahma' and not 'Brahm'.
You should refer to this video to know a little bit more about the vedas.
A brief history of VEDAS || Project SHIVOHAM
Yoga (a Sanskrit word) means 'union' (of self with divine}. Exercises & postures which is popular is 'Yoga-aasan' is but a small part of Yoga.

When I Trade Or do work Iam Vaishya.
when I Clean For Myself Or Clean Iam shudra...

As a Hindu, I understand that learning about Hinduism can be challenging due to its complexity. Intelligence, knowledge, and the true way of living are not simple things because the meaning of life death past present or future is COMPLEX...

28:29 yeah I am glad that he mentioned that and one more thing is that the Guru will decide which person want to become which part of Lord Vishnu based on their skill sets and their mindset and knowledge
shiva doesn't dance when the world is getting destroyed...shiva dancing is the cause of the destruction
It's quite interesting how we came to believe in things like gods and stuff
13:13 CORRECTION....
This are the Shlokas... which May be sounds like a Poem or a Song... But it's not a Song...
Actually this Shlokas written in this form with the Rhythm because in Ancient Time Hindu's Don't write this Vedas because it can be Stolen or Misused by invaders... Or someone Who Don't Believe in this Religion they can be Disrespect it... And hurts our religious sentiments.
That's Why Vedas were originally transmitted through Oral tradition From Generation to Generation...
15:44 Let me add something, The Bhagawad Gita is the most sacred hindu text because it contains the whole conversation between Arjun and Lord Shri Krishna, the 9th incarnation of Lord Vishnu, it has solution to every problems of life , since you are born until you die, also, during this conversation, Lord Krishna also spoke about how the universe works, he spoke about how the mind controls the soul and how to take back the control, what happens to a soul after death and many more, also, during this conversation, Lord showed his divine form to Arjun, from that you can guess that how intense the conversation would have been. Lord Krishna also said that He is the God, He is everywhere, in every single atom, He is everything, He is present in every life form, infact every soul is within him, every soul is a part of him, He and all the souls are Eternal. It is amazing because the answers to these questions are given by Lord Shri Krishna, The Human form of the Divine Lord.
Brother once .... Go through the " KAILASHA TEMPLE" .... And give a study on the oldest temples of bharat/ indian
I would recommend that you' watch the video "Who am I" by Swami Sarvapriyananda. It's a longish video but it perfectly explains and summarises the most important teaching of Hinduism. It would help you get a good perspective of the religion. Great reaction. Cheers from India. ❤
There are thousands and million of books hinduism(Sanatan dharm) have such as how to do plastic surgery fix cancer diseases and etc. A single topic have its own book in our sanatan dharma
Bro it's just not mythology it's our History it's my heart❤ jay shree ram🚩🚩🚩
Barrack obama used to carry small statue of hanuman in his pocket to believe it withdraw enemy. He had shown it in one of the shows
dont called it mythlogoy it hurts when you have science and facts and someone stamp it with myth
The God portion is the myth.
Fun fact about flood mythology, there is a lot of similarities between Noah's Ark & Saptarshi of Hindustan. ✋🏻
I think you can only read to Bhagvadgeeta and understand a lot about Hinduism and it will also help you in life.
I also love history! I always wanted to learn more about Hinduism. Great video, cheers & thank you!! 🧡
ITS NOT MYTHOLOGY ITS HISTORY
108 Upnishads, 18 Puranas, 4 Vedas, Shrimad Bhāgvatam 12 cantos consisting 18000 slokas (It's just called the summary of all Vedas (Which may take you a lifetime to read and understand)), Bhagavad Gita 700 slokas.
It's not India, it's bharat
Upanishad born after questioning Vedas. That means Hindus don’t have commandments, they can humbly question anything to learn & evolve, like science, there is no end of questioning.
Ramayan & Mahabharat is a real story
Namaste🙏
I appreciate your work and thank you all of your video about HINDU DHARMA. but one this It's not a hindu mythology, it is our history. lots of love from India. 🤍
Sanatan dhama 's most beautiful thing...
u can debate any thing about dharma
and u can even question bhagwan (god)...
and that's why we believe ...
world is one family❤
I came here from ur another video ..ur Respect to our dharm made me like and subscribe you ❣️ Jai Shree Ram 🚩❣️
Calling our history mythology. then jesus muhamad all are myth
really brother you are right
27:00 guru decides the role of a person when gets fully educated....its called "duij sanskar"
Nice video
Fun fact the distance of the sun from the earth is given in one of our chalisa. "Hunuman Chalisa". " Yug Saharas Yojan par Bhanu". Yug*saharas*yojan= 153.6 million km. ❤❤❤❤❤
You have showed your AUKAT comparing Shiva with Tiktoker 😐
So many return books in religion
Vedas are 4
Sastra are 6
Puran are 18
Note Included....... Mahabharat , Geta and so many
The picture or the statue of lord hanuman should not be kept in the place where couples sleep or in the kitchen as he stayed unmarried his whole life for his lord Ram....
Edit: shiva's dance is called tandav which is actually dance in anger....
We not only worship one god or goddess like vishnu shiva devi or others
we worship all. But have one idol god like shiva vishnu and others

Yes, in Mahabharata Krishna says your work define you cast not your birth.
Like you call someone doctor or engineer by his work not cause he born doctor or engineer 😂😅
I like that part where he introduced our Hindu gods.😊
in Hinduism, the cast is determined by the type of work they do it is not predetermined. for eg if a kid from Warrior Clann doesn't want to fight and wants to pray he is a priest
hinduism is all about casteism, discrimination hatred towards own people, this is the true beauty
fun facts:
-Hanuman is an inspiration for song wukong with most of their powers being similar, and song wukong is an inspiration for a collection of over powered anime characters such as goku from the dragon ball franchise and luffy from one piece.
-A lot of tropes such as: brother vs brother, rescue the kidnapped lover, forbidden love, father vs unknown sons, brother joins his brother on a venture when he doesn't have to, overpowered and extremely loyal friend joining and overpowered pair making an overpowered trio, heroic sacrifice, lover being unknowingly pregnant and exiled and many many more can be found in the ramayana and probably inspired millions of stories with these tropes.
There's a part of atharvaveda which is called ayurveda which teaches about medicine, surgery and cure mostly with use of hurbs.
Hinduism is 4000yr old , but SANATAN is ∞ yr old... Jay shree Ram ❤
The most beautiful thing is that in first yuga God and demon lived in two different worlds, in second yuga God and evil lived in same world, in third yuga God and demon was in same family, and in fourth yuga od and demon lives in same body as said by buddha. Second thing is God stands for generator, operator and destroyer and there is Brahma, Vishnu and Mahadev. Third thing is Brahma is old man and old man have knowledge and wisdom, so his wife is Sarswati , Vishnu is operator so he needs wealth, so his wife is laxmi and Shiva is quiet, so it shows that quite people are strongest..
There's a UA-cam channel named "project shivoham" he's doing documentary type videos on math and science of Hinduism with proper examples..
On day 1 of Mahabharata: When Lord Krishna started to tell Geeta Gyan to Arjun , they say that all God came there in various forms to listen that and even Shiva came out of his Dhyan to listen Geeta Gyan.
I always wonder why hinduism is a combination of maths and science 🤔 well after i saw this video i also watched that " how universe is formed according to hinduism " its trippy ..
Brahman is not only formless , the concept of formless brahman is accepted by only one school of vedanta other schools of Vedanta believe brahman has form
