  • @TheDravidianwolf , you need to accept Jesus into your life and live a happy life devoid of hatred.

  • @jakotuol02 jesus was a false messiah. when krishna appeared the vast majority of indians at that time accepted him as divine. when jesus lived and preached, the majority of his fellow jews rejected him because they knew better. you better accept krishna to escape that cult called christianity.

  • @visitbraja WOW this is beautiful! I am Tamil and I have been saved for four years now, I have been struggling with bringing my family into the Kingdom of God, and away from their existing "HIndu Gods." I will definitely show this to my mom. The Holy Sprit brought me to think link, I have been praying how to bring them closer to the one and only God almighty. GLORY GLORY TO GOD.

  • lovely song...thanq for the upload ! God bless you !! Jesus your love and grace is so amazing lord :)

  • Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

    And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Col. 3:16-17)

  • @tharcikaa, Do you know that this song is entirely on 'some stuff' from the Bible. Please read the book 'Normal Christian Life' by Watchman Nee. I am surprised being a Christian you are offended by reading some portions of God's Word.

  • Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

    (1 John 3:1)

  • @jayessaar

    Coudn't you guys talk like normal being? jeeeeeese! I'm Christian too! It's really irritating u know, Do you think that you'd be a better Christian  by frequently quoting some stuffs from Bible? Think again!

  • Do not marvel, my brethren if the world hates you (1 John 3:13)

  • For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. (1 Corinthians 1:18)

  • But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this world has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. ( 2 Corinthians 4:3-4)

  • will you please stop it. . first think about your own life and the purpose of it. . .anyway  i'm not here to argue with you . . .you may not have heart. . . i don care. . . i have my own works ahead...

  • Thanks for uploading, I've added this Video to my Christian Video Playlist.

    Gave You 5*****

    I'm searching YouTube for Christian music Videos in *various languages* and adding them to my Christian Music Video Playlists.

    I then add them to my Website where I have them autoplay on my Webpages.

    So anyone who visits my website... *Jimmy MacDonald's Website*

    can then listen to & watch to Christian all over the world Praising Our Lord Jesus Christ in their own language!

    God Bless You

  • u will be punished for this my bro.

  • mohamedabdulomar-why wasting your time coming to this Chrsitian song site to spill your hatred? Christians never did the recent Mumbai blasts!

  • Thanks my almighty God for such a soothing song.The dancers,the choreography,the music composition and overall the singer..wow the faith comes straight from her heart.May God bless them all and wish them more songs like this....cheers Selwyng

  • people adore ugyness too that doesn't mean they like it! it's just a curiosity! that's all

  • Amazing! This song hits 1,55,000 views.This means so many people like this song and it's meaning. Let the barking dogs bark..The caravan goes on and on silently.. Thank you viewers.

  • Even videos like Sam anderson have this many views. Does that mean they agree with him ? Like his 'acting' ? They are indeed mocking at him while they are watching those videos. So get a life, grow up you sore losers.

  • I guess lord Jesus really blessed them a lot! no wonder why God sent his son Lord Jesus to born in Jewish ethinic group! I'm sorry God chose to outcast other ethinic group! as I mentioned they all were born with 'Sin' and less worthy in terms of knowledge and personality! I'm so blessed you know,! except those born Christians, everyone else was? born with sins, but I wasn't because I was born Christian which means I have no sins what-so-ever!

  • We only have one World, let us all try to live peacefully without hurting each other. Religion is not for arguing, it is to make everyone a better humanbeing.God's Holy Spirit can cleanse our minds, so we can love another human and treat him with kindness!I have nothing more to add. May God Bless All and show His Mercy to All of us!!

  • Which history book you studied these stories from? All I see is "HATRED" towards Christians. All are humans and we all make mistakes no matter which religion we believe in!Communication is important and that is why all these mediums are useful in spreading the gospel.We need to teach everyone,give literature & use the current communication methods to spread the gospel.Disciples of Jesus did just that, they preached!Every christian's duty is to know God and make HIM known & be a Blessing to all!

  • You know a lot of bad language and we got this foreign language( English) from the British and you are using it so much and crying about culture!!!If you haven't noticed the world has changed a lot and we will use every medium to spread gospel and you are trying to argue your point quoting Bible. Jesus even used the mud on the blind man's eye! God has given everything in this world for our use, He has given us all a supreme brain, Use it wisely.God designed us, He is the Greatest Physician,Amen!

  • BTW, watching TV is considered as "SIN" in Bible, that includes surfing Internet too! and If you fall in sick please don't go to hospital or walk-in-clinic, just go straight to Church, get the holy water and splash onto your ass, everything will be "CURED!"

    Be honest with me people how many of you are still doing masturbation? it's also "sin" in Bible! Don't use condoms Pope insisted!

  • Mm...It's utter waste of time talking to incorrigible people! lacking in self-thinking! always quoting something from Bible! Only Christian scholars are best people to deal with these religious nut cases! With tones of question they'll make these Christian morons to pee on their pants!

  • Mr. Mohammed, You think of me as your enemy! But why? Is that what God Almighty taught you ? Bible teaches Love!Practise" Loving" another human it will make you feel wonderful!According tohe Bible we have to spread God's Word and how is that troublemaking? Once the whole world knows about God, then only the end shall come. We are just trying to obey God's Word by spreading Gospel and in a way these songs are doing the same!Everyone will get a chance to hear about Jesus, we have little time left!

  • Mr. Sivamuni, I wish I was right beside Jesus, I would have been the most blessed person in the whole world. We are all humans, "to err is to human, to forgive devine". God loves us no matter what, but we are still full of hatred to another humanbeing according to their color, religion, nationality, culture etc, arent we? Think about it. Read your comments, all I see is a person who gives too much importance to culture, nationality & religion. Hope I did not offend you! GOD loves YOU always!!

  • Mr.Mohammed, Mr. Sivamuni is trying to argue his point and all I am saying is to learn with an open mind! If anyone has a strong mind which is not open to accept God's words He is not going to learn anything.I have learned Mahabharatham, and Ramayanam in school & it was our homework to write the whole thing. I have a Hindu friend and Muslim friend since school, we were and still are best friends. Learn the Bible, Jesus cried out because he was born a human and it was painful! Read Genisis 1:1.

  • Mr. Sivamuni, Thanks!Your language is harsh but don't argue without learning the Biible.Bible was written by people inspired by Holy spirit,says so in the Bible. Muslims believe in God the Faher they don't consder Jesus as son of God. Jesus could have used His Power to get out of the cross. He did not ,because He was obedient of God the Father, He proved itlI believe my God is with me always & I trust Him completely! I will not pray to anything in this Universe, I will Praise GOD alone always!!

  • Most of islamic countries face the same problem as sivamu mentioned in his comments! Jesus was just a good Jew prophet Not son of the God or whatever! He even cried out in his crucifixion and called upon a God! lol funny thing is Jesus coudn't even save himself with his magical powers! lol of course he was capable of turning water into wine! lol

  • Well, Well, Well! What we do have here! quarrel between Christian and Hindu! it seems like we have a common enemy in here! Christians are one real trouble makers! but usually put the blame on Muslims and other religions!

  • @mohammedabdulomar brother May God bless u and ur family .

    No Muslim country in this worl is in peace .

  • Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, I request you not to argue with someone who behaves un ethically. When time passes everone will unerstand the truth. Also I remember a verse from Matthew 7 : 6, "Don't give what is holy to dogs or throw your pearls to pigs. Otherwise, they will trample them and then tear you to pieces". God bless...

  • Just do me favour, you people already chose to give up idigenous culutre, why the hell still using Hindu's instruments, dances, etc.? crazy idiots move out the country!

  • Hi,Mr. Sivamuni, Musical Instruments are made by humans not religious groups. Every Musical Instrument in india have a few counterparts in other countries also. The difference is that we use 'Nadaswara' in front of a temple and Piano or Organ in a Church. Instruments don't have religion but humans do! People who make money in God's name & don't use it for God's purpose,they have to answer to God!He created many Universes,can you imagine that!Learn Bible with Prayer, He will show you theTruth!

  • BTW you were always right beside with Jesus all along right? Who wrote the Bible? absolutely God did! Amen! Anyhow Christian were first traitors in India who betrayed their own people!

  • Hi Mr.Sivamuni54, Jesus was born as a human to save mankind from all sins. Whatever happened to Jesus was all God Almighty's plan. When a human think about Jesus hanging on the cross and suffering all that unbearable pain, we should not sin anymore. God is above everything, no one can fully understand HIM! It takes a lot of learning, but if you trust God completely, you can feel HIS presence in your life,try to learn the Bible. Missionaries need money to spread the WORD! May God Bless You!!

  • Mm...same old words from another Christian moron with religious-limited thinking! I can't blame ya! you brought up this way! Well, I probably believed in Jesus's resurrection myth if Jesus was decapitated and resurrected again! Pontius Pilate asshole who crucified Jesus did the crappy work in crucifixion! Jesus was left alive but some faggots made a big deal out it! Jesus was only nailed through in his wrists and feet definitely not in his vital organs!

  • Sivamuni54-Hello Brother-why are you posting so many anti-Christian posts here and spoil your health?People of every religion love Jesus because his words bring peace , blessings to all,irrespective of religious beliefs.Lord Jesus is praised not only in tamil,but every language of the world. Just click 'Arabic Christian song' and see for yourslef. Similary,try 'Nepali Christian songs,'

    Russian christian songs,Urudu Christian song,Iranian Christian song,Afghan song.May Jesus show you the truth

  • ha ha what can I say! Incorrigible Tamil traitor! Christianity spread by force during the first two centuries of its existence, still happening around the world! couldn't even convince people eh? Christianity is only religion does the proselytizing! send more of those missionaries and evangelists, nothing will change! maybe some people do want to convert into Christianity for the purpose of wealth! like the ones who betrayed their own own people for sake of opulent life style in the past!

  • Poor Jesus was flayed alive for breaching Jewish law! open your eyes folks! How many divisions in Christianity? catholic non-catholic? many more? Did you know how wealthy those evangelists & Christian chariest CEO in America and Europe? It's lucrative business for them! Have you guys ever beaten by KKK? how about racial discrimination? just go to middle east say you're Christian they'll spit on your faces! shame on you people for using Hindu's percussion instrument!

  • You people have no clues how remarkable

    of your indigenous culture is! Have you ever wondered why ancient Hindu temples draw quite a large amount tourists from all around the world? Talking about Jesus, Jewish people are god's chosen ones? and others are not?Was God prejudice in choosing gender? Jesus was male?? At current process of knowledge evolution we humans have no cognitive capability and knowledge to understand the God! God is neither good nor bad!

  • You see the corrupted mindset of these Christan people! Jesus didn't go through much pain than west indies people! they were forced to to do the work that you would've never imagined in your lifetime! only small food was provided, daily flogging must work 20 hours a day you people must go and see the slave cages in south America where Portuguese/Dutch/British used them in slave

    market! no religion is perfect, every religion has its dogma and superstition!

  • Tell me one single word from the bible which describes other ethinic people beside Arabs, Jewish and some of Mediterranean ethnics! Tamilans? Chinese? ching pung Jesus? BTW Did you know history of West Indies? if your foreign invaders were true Christian followers why did they engaged in slavery act? why did they domolished ancient hindu temples and built churches on top of them? I've seen lot of hindus do go to church but I hardly see any Christians drop by Hindu temple!

  • really nice song!

  • Speaking Tamil, ethnically Tamilan too but worshiping Jesus? Since Jesus is Jewish male Why don't you folks learn to speak Jewish and start to adapt Jewish as your mother tongue? listen, descendants of British/Dutch/ Portuguese colonial era traitors!! Christianity is something that has to do with Arabs & Jewish!absolutely nothing to do with Tamils! even to Europeans! Europeans simply adapted the religion that's all!

  • Es werden nicht alle, die zu mir sagen: Herr, Herr!, in das Himmelreich kommen, sondern die den Willen tun meines Vaters im Himmel. Matthäus 7, 21

  • very nice song,,, wow great... u(god)ve given to life carnatic music

  • Hi, very nice song. I wan to purchase the CD which has this song. Would you be able to help me by telling me how

    i can purchase it.

  • tat is not true! music is a universal element.

    Anyway, WE ARE INDIANS!!!! NOT WHITE PEOPLE!! Pls take note of tis!

    Do not be too fanatical n dumb!

  • Hi KINGMJ1990 From where did we get the word "Hindu". This word does not exist in any of the classical Tamil literature or even Indian literature. So no need to claim it is Hindu form of music

  • @KINGMJ1990 .Dont talk nonsense . There is no Hindu, Buddhist Islamic or Christian . Music is music. Carnatic music is form South India , The music of the Tamil, Telugus , Kannadigas and Malayalees. It is true in the ancient days all these people were Hindus , so this music was exclusively for HIndu worship. However now many Tamils, Telugus , Kanndigas and Malyalees are Christians and Muslisms. So there is nothing wrong in Chrisitians or Muslims from these races using this music to praise god

  • @nav3079 Further there is a differnt falvour to the Carnatic music played by Tamils , Telugs, Kannadigas or Malyaless. This music is typically Tamil . IT is Crnatic but has very distinct Tamil flavour so tht is why it is called Tamil music. SO a Tamil Chiristian has every riight to draw on his or her culture and praise god in their traditional form. This is not the sole heritage of the Tamil Hindus only but the Heritage of all Tamils . Hindu/Muslim /Christian or Jain , By the way Iam Hindu

  • i know u guys will listen only carnatic music and AR is composing using Carnatic instruments

  • In the last days every nation will confess the name of Jesus and bend their knees before him as thier Lord .

  • amazing voice - wow

  • awesome song..

  • please give download option.. otherwise say how to download..

  • You have convincingly demonstrated that you are not intellectually capable of engaging this subject in a meaningful way. I will not be investing any more time in communication with you until you answer my first question.

  • Comment removed

  • You've still not answered my question. Please explain the fundamental incompatibility that you find between the concepts of Dharma and Original Sin. Do you understand this question? Regarding the Old Testament, I'm not sure what you are talking about. As I've said before, I'd like to stay on topic and you've yet to provide an explanation for why you believe it is impossible to believe in both Dharma and Original Sin at the same time. My guess is that you aren't able to do this.

  • Jesus loves you.

    put your trust in Jesus

    jesu daniel(Evangelist&Prophet)

  • It is interesting to me that you make obscene comments to me and then removed them from channel. I still see them in my email inbox, but then they are removed from here. In particular, you have called me recently a "stupid, fat pastor". If I am to judge the religion of Hinduism on the the basis of your behavior, I would say that the fruit of you belief system isn't very pleasant. And you still haven't answered my question.

  • I said the name "Hindu" is not native to India. I still say that. (Read my comment again) If my comment seems to be stupid in your eyes, I dont care - you can remain wise in your own eyes.

  • Please show from my comments evidence of my not having an open mind.

  • Your rudimentary explainations of original sin are not tantamount to a demonstration of why the concept is in conflict with Dharma. I'm still waiting.

    Also, what is "wallah"?

  • Hi Dravidianwolf, If you believe in the universality of Creator, why your definition for Hindu gets confined to " any follower of any religious belief that originates from india, is a hindu" - After all the name Hindu itself is not native to India. Can you quote any scripture that supports your definition?

  • Hi Dravidianwolf, A Christian need not be an expert in Dharma. His faith is enough for him. You can call his ideology a lie. It doesn't matter for him. Chiristian faith is a "foolishness" to those who do not believe it - as per 1 Corinthians 2:14. Therefore a Christian is not surprised by your statement. if you call it a lie, your word doesn't hurt or harm or shake the faith of a Christian. It will only strengthen him.

  • Quoting from your own words " the remainder contined to be called hindus" you meant left overs. At last you agreed that the word "Hindu" is not native to India. How can you base a religion on borrowed word. The Aryan caste system is incompatible with Siva Siddantham. How could both be from the same religion. When lakhs of "Hindus" get killed in Lanka, why Indian "Hindus" do not bother?

  • Why don't you just go to Wikipedia yourself and look it up. Otherwise, I recommend Dharma: Hindu and Christian by Roberto de Nobili (trans. in English by Soosai Arokiasamy). If you want to read what I've written on Hinduism, you can purchase your own copy of Ethnographic Chicago: Considering College Students and Ethiopian and Tamilian Immigrants Missiologically on Amazon. Now, we're all waiting for your answer.

  • If you take this debate in a thousand directions, it ceases to be fruitful. Please stay on topic or I am finished. You have said that Hindus believe in Dharma rather than Original Sin. Please demonstrate how these two principles are in logical contradiction. If not, please admit that you were wrong to suggest this and that now you confess that Dharma and Original sin are not logically incompatible. We can take the many other subjects you raise in turn once we've settled the first.

  • So now you admit that separatism exists in Hinduism but at lower levels than in Christianity. Please explain for us your method of measuring separatism levels and demonstrate that Christianity has higher levels. Also, "monism" and "monolithic" are not similar terms simply because they begin with "mono." I'm not denying that Hinduism monistic by denying that it is monolithic. Nor does claiming that Hinduism is monistic mean that it is necessarily not monotheistic.

  • I have both read and published on the subject of Hindus and Hinduism. These publications can be found easily by searching my name on Amazon or at your local research library. I use my real name on these posts because I have no need to hide behind the anonymity of a nickname. Now, if you know what Dharma is and what Original Sin is, you should be able to back up your claim that they are fundamentally conflicting ideas. Unless you'd like to retract that claim.

  • Well, it makes for nice 'batman logic', but if a "Hindu" is really just the leftovers, you've not really provided us with a very dignified definition. (Let alone an authoritative one) Are you defining Sanantan Dharma the same way?

  • Tell you what? Are you asking me to tell you why Dharma and Original Sin are incompatible concepts? I am now convinced that it is because you cannot back up your original claim that they are conflicting ideas. BTW, you have not demonstrated that you have obtained any significant understanding of the concept of Original Sin.

  • I know that Dharma and Original sin are different. Many comments ago you suggested that Hindus believed in Dharma RATHER THAN Original sin. This suggests that you believe there is some fundamental conflict between the two concepts. What is it?!?

  • Please cite the authority from which you derive this definition of "Hindu" - a word, that by your definition isn't actually "Hindu."

    By the way, to suggest that Hinduism is monolithic and free of denominationalism is absolutely ridiculous. Hindus "separate" on the basis of doctrine, theology, practice, ethnicity, caste, etc. And yet, you've written "we Hindus don't separate."

  • You have yet to demonstrate any fundamental incompatibility between the concepts of Original Sin and Dharma. I'm beginning to wonder if you can get your head around the question.

  • Why is it dumb?

    "So called loving religion" . . . really, are you trying to retreat from the actual argument by using the whole "christians-are-mean" argument? Let me stop you there and just say that indeed Christians are some of the meanest, ugliest, and smelliest people on the planet. It is an irrelevant point. You've said that the concept of Original Sin is (1) dumb and (2) incompatible with the concept of Dharma. You've demonstrated neither claim. Please do.

  • I'm not asking you if Dharma and Original Sin are different concepts. I'm asking you to demonstrate your claim that they are fundamentally incompatible. You have yet to do that. Am I to now draw the conclusion that you are incapable of demonstrating this?

  • Are you suggesting that classical Hinduism is not monotheistic?

  • By this definition, Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs are also Hindu. Is that what you are trying to say? Also by this definition, for something to be "Hindu" it only has to originate in India. Is that anything or just religious beliefs? For example is a Tata Indigo a Hindu car? Finally, upon what authority do you derive this definition?  Is it just your personal view?

  • If I understand you correctly, you say that you disagree with the concept of original sin because you believe in personal responsibility. However, original sin doesn't negate, in any way, personal responsibility. Both concepts are taught in the Bible - even in the same Biblical books (e.g. Romans). I believe in both concepts because both are taught in the Bible. Now, you've made several claims here, is there any authority to which you are appealing other than your personal opinion?

  • I don't know what "abramanic faiths" are. I'm not asking you to debate the existence of Adam. I'm asking you simply to explain what you see as the conflict (philosophically) between Dharma and Original Sin. Are you saying that you are unable to do that?

  • Actually, your not correct. It isn't the punishment of Adam's sin that is passed down, but rather the negative effects - Adam's nature became corrupted, all descendants of Adam inherit the same corrupted nature. "That is stupid" doesn't exactly smack of high-minded debate. Please tell me what is "stupid" about it. And, you've not explained the conflict between Dharma and original sin. I take it that you believe it is impossible to belief in both - please explain.

  • As a matter of fact, I am not Indian either ethnically or geographically. Now, please explain for me the fundamental conflict that you see between the concepts of original sin and dharma. Further, please demonstrate for me that those who call themselves "Hindus" are united with you in your denial of postmortem divine judgment. Beyond all this, what is your basis for theological authority? I mean, how do you know that a "hindu" is one who believes in "Dharma"?

  • You have not answered my question by providing an authoritative (or any for that matter) basis for your definition of "Hindu." You've only extended your definition. Etymologically, the word is foreign to the Indian cultural context & has historically been haphazardly applied (largely by outsiders) as an umbrella-type term for the diverse & anything-but-monolithic religious world of South Asia.

  • Can you please let us all know upon what basis do you derive your definition of the word "Hindu." The word literally means "Indian."

  • Hi dravidianwolf, I dont see the word "Hindu" in any of the Siva Sidhantha literature - Devaram, Thiruvasagam, Thiru-Arutpa, Thirumanthiram etc. The word "Hindu" - if it is a Tamil word, please help me where from we got this word.

  • Hi dravidianwolf, Can you explain what is meant by "Hindu" in Tamil. I don't se this word in any of our classical Tamil Literature. If you find this word in any of our literatures, please let me know. It will be more interesting.
