this is an excellent presentation..thank you.. it has certainly helped me to respect my religion more.. i hope more and more ppl are enlightened by this and that they learn to respect Hinduism.. understanding of which can help us bring peace everywhere.. bcoz i certainly believe that there are answers to all the problems in those vedic texts of ours.i am really proud to be an indian. thank you again.
I'm reading a book called, the complete idiots guide to hinduism. It's a great read for any westerner, it explains all the stuff in this video and more.
There are so many people out there who belive things written in a books blindly without ever thinking knowledgably...other western religions operate like an organisation where others need to convert to be a member of them with so many rules and regulations..it really irritates me when some christian tells me that god told them to convert as many people as u can into this organisation so called christianity to be eligible for heaven..so imatured!
Beautiful post!!Thank you very much for enlightening about one of the greatest religions of the world.We really need to learn and understand a lot about Hinduism. Many think that both mahabharata and ramayana are a myth, I pity such people. This video showed us the proof of its existence. Great one!!!

sigh...look, i don't like conversion either, but you don't "win hearts and minds" by telling people your religion is "scientifically accurate" what a joke! thats a contradiction- you have faith in things you can't see, not faith in things you can prove. if you hate conversion, than demonstrate to those who are spiritually on the fence the strength of your beliefs by being a good person, treating everyone equally, and caring for the dispossessed. im hindu btw
I will do both - try to eradicate the misunderstanding of others and also be a good person who treats everyone equally - for my way of life, Sanatana Dharma, teaches me to do that.
Mahatma Gandhi was a perfect example of the person who lived the truth.
I appreciate your views. You have a right to comment. Thought is the essence of one's understanding of things that he sees. they however have a source from where they originate. Every thing that is not seen is non-existent as per thought. Can any one sat that there nothing exist which my eye cannot reach. Time will teach those who refuse to see beyond ones sight.
Nice video, but if it leads to fanaticism, I beg to differ. It's not that I don't agree that Veda is THE Encylopaedia Galactica or even the universe, I think it is. But I tend to see Hinduism as a culture - Sanatana Dharma. It's not a religion per se; it's a way of life emerged at least 8,000 years ago. I prefer to call it the Vedic Civilisation than a religion, for casting Hinduism as a religion is somewhat downgrading the very vast nature of the culture and civilisation itself.
I agree. I have titled it as religion just because a lot of people know it as religion and would search on youtube under "religion". But I agree with you that it is a way of life and not a religion as other had tagged us. Jai Guru
Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation. I am practicing the Hindu culture/tradition myself, but I'm always reluctant to answer whenever someone ask me my religion. For I think labelling Hinduism (or the Vedic culture) as 'religion' is a downgrade to the vast culture. With all due respect to all those who still see Hindu as a religion, of course.
Then what do you say? When I get asked I don't know what else to say and don't like to complicate it so I just say Hindu or at times, "Spiritual and no religion". It is a bit difficult educate others when they have so many misconceptions.
Yeah, it's an interesting one, what do I say. Usually 'I practice the Hindu tradition, but I am open and practice some other traditions as well, in this case Buddhism and Sufi. Hence, I'm not a religious person per se, but I'm into spirituality'. A very long answer, I know :-D
Actually I am very much like you. I am spiritual and don't like to label myself as a Hindu. I even pray to Jesus as a Guru. I know that Buddha was an incarnation of Vishnu and loveee the Sikh Gurus, just as any other true Gurus the world has seen. My destined Guru is Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi. No one knows whether he was Hindu or a Muslim.
The real meaning of 'Dharma' is 'way of life'. Hinduism is not a religion. It is a way of life. If you like a thought about Allah you are welcome to practice the preachiness in Quran. That is thee reason there have been so many off shoots like Buddism, Jainism, Sikhism. It is your right to practice what you believe. But practice what you preach or believe. for belief have faith. for having faith first UNDERSTAND. Go deeper and deeper. you will find the truth.
Good post, it proves the thruth and nothing but the truth.Jai Hind.

Hinduism must only be known as vedantha dharma (followers of vedas) or sanathan dharma (without beginning or end).

Very well said, and for better understanding of these thoughts about the way of life, just read the Bhagvad Gita.

Christianity could equally be termed a "way of life" by Christians and anyone who truly reckons with the mystery of faith.

Sanatana dharma means eternal nature (without beginning or end), you are correct in thinking that Hinduism is not a religion. Awesome!
