  • Not to mention, most indian middle class in America and other regions, behave as though they know what it means

    Behave as though they know what indian spirituality is all about

    the stupid ignorant idiots

    If you encounter indian chanting AUM's, and dressed in indian "spiritual" clothes, ask them if they truly know what it means

    If they say. Spirit of universe or some shit, spit on them.

  • @dhruv001 My friend by writing this kind of stuff, you are doing nothing for hinduism. Being proud of your religion is to show respect to all, not by putting down other people. So what if they say things that are not what u want to hear. Atleast they have devotion and therein lies God. He is everywhere, in all forms and in all beings. Please ask Krishna to forgive you. Thank you, my friend! Peace and Love

  • AUM has a very practical meaning.. at the very least

    All this talk about ' sound of the universe" etc, is all very romantic , at the least, but they miss the real meaning

    From a phonology perspective, from a human verbal perspective, a lot many so called experts miss it

  • yeven most the of stupid indians dont know what AUM is

    Most of the indian middle class, in india, is stupid, most of those who came to america are stupid..

    Pay money , get a stupid Engg Degree, talk english, and you are all set, to make money..

  • Another thing that I find so intriguing Is the use of the Swastika which is sanskrit.Let me tell you how old this symbol really is.I live in Oklahoma USA.There is a lot of Native Americans here.About 10 miles from where I grew up is a Oil barons house who was a full blood Osage Indian Chief.His house was built in the 1920s and on his very nice brick and iron gate is 4 swastikas.They brought this symbol with them when they came from Asia 12000 years ago.And they are shamans.I will take pics.

  • do you why they are called american-indians ?

  • Paramhansa Yogananda in Authobiography of A Yogi in experiencing blissful samadhi says:

    "The creative voice of God I heard resounding as AUM, the vibration of the Cosmic Motor". Now AUM is Sanskrit for God as sound, and we can actualy experiencing this eternal cosmic vibration. Now, how old is this sound and how old is Sanskrit?

  • And who says that Sanskrit is remained an unspoken language? In Karnataka, India;: people of 2 villages Mathur and Hosahali with combined population of around 3000 to 4000 are all speak sanskrit for everiday life. And pleae search in google Sanskrit echoes, to see the resurgence of spoken sanskrit.

  • People seem have freedom to explain the meaning of Sanskrit. But I agree to the followings; Samskritam: Kritam means 'to do' and Samyak meaning 'in unity'. Samskritam is hence not a language; it is an awareness of the self revealed by practice with the unity of thought, word, and deed.

  • Your understanding of the tradition is impressive. But pls sir ...the caption "Thinking is ALLOWED"(it sounds like coming from more organized and dictated religions)it would kill the sprit of FREEDOM the Vedic tradition contains and Promotes.

  • brainlaundry:

    You are such a confusing woman!

    So you are basically saying that there are languages that existed before sanskrit, but they weren't pure or precise. Sanskrit developed into a refined version from these languages. Is that what you are saying?

    What do you mean when you said, "the daughter of all languages"? How smart is to say that sanskrit is the daughter of ALL languages, when it was the oldest language known?

  • yes I am saying there were many langauges ... befor sanskrith... .if the best from MANY is taken it dose not mean the originals were not prisise or pure .. Sanskrith is a , REFINEMENT ( it was a formulated langauge , with technical expertise, that is the reson it remaind an unspoken langauge) .. as a prodagee is allways assumend to be a refinement of the original .... In that contex I said since ,sanskrith is a refined extension, it would be more proper to call it as the "daughter".

  • Please don't call it "daughter of all languages" again, b/c it is not the daughter of ALL languages. You are just insulting our tradition by saying that. Sanskrit did not come from spanish, french, italian, enlish, etc. It is just the refinement of SOME of the languages that existed in india b4 sanskrit or before 3000 BC. Since you seem to be an expert in this field, can you tell which is first language ever? I really wanna know, and I hope its not greek or latin.

  • This 500-word limitation is too small a space to answer your question. I said daughter of all languages in context to you saying "mother of all languages."AND we believe the world is ONE .. "Vsudaiva kutumbaka"so there is no question of their s and ours. AND there is no insult greater than denying this magnanimous school of thought, and limiting it to ones personal understanding.

  • sorry for the confusion :)

  • And if we take it for argument sake, that it was an ORGANISED language, it would suggest that the Vedas were existent before Sanskrit , and If it was so .. in wt language??

  • Actually Hittite is the oldest written Indo European language. Also, other languages like Japanese are unrelated to Indo European.

  • Sanskrit language is the mother of all languages.

  • With all due respect to the Vedic scholar, I forward my opinion,

    What u r referring to is the Vedic tradition , Sanskrit is a language a v v refined version of the ancient then existing languages prakrith, pali, paishacha , margadi ardha margadi Brami to name a few . Sanskrit means, " refined "the refined version of all these languages .

  • AND the Vedas r NOT in Sanskrit ,... it was in Veda Bashya.which is very close to the above mentioned languages. So it would be improper to call it Sanskrit MANTRA or Shloka . It should be reffered to as Vedic mantra or Vedic shloka.

  • Wat are you talking about? I was saying that sanskrit is the first ORGANIZED language from which all the other languages we know have arised, and thats what the man in this video is saying. I don't know what you are talking about. "then existing languages prakrith, pali, paischach etc.." what are these? Are you saying these came before sanskrit, and sanskrit developed from these?

  • The meaning of Sanskrit itself is REFINED; any refinement can come only when there is a gross. The languages I have mentioned above were there before Sanskrit, it was a language developed with technical expertise, any Sanskrit pundit will tell u that. The lippy for which was called Devanagari (it was developed in Kashi which is called deva-nagara ,meaning the city of the gods) So it would be more proper to call it "the daughter of all languages."

  • This distorted information we were fed with , is the British scholars contribution to India.

  • No Sanskrit is not the mother langauge of all langaueges... Sanskrit is an Indo-European langauge of the indo-iranian branch.

  • oh realli? how much research have you done on this topic?

    "Sanskrit is not the mother langauge of all langaueges"

    Just take out the word "not" in the above, only then is your statement factual and valid

  • sanskrit is not the mother of all languages.. i agree

    Not the natural languages , definitely..

    And in terms of factual and "not", where did you think the english grammar owes it origin to ?

  • But what about the Cunic Sumerian writings? the Sumerians are the oldest (known) civilization and they had an alphabet that consisted out of 400 characters. remarkable :D

    nam myoho renge kyo ^^

  • Being very oldest and more refined in grammer,the antiquity is now only started to be understood among historians.Harappans are also proved to be Sanskrit speaking people.Meanwhile, astronomical information given in the Vedas take the sanskrit culture beyond that.

  • It is a good video. I feel now that, as Indians, we should take it upon ourselves to promulgate our own culture instead of allowing others to explain it for us.

  • very good. enjoyed it...

    i would like more of it..

  • This is quite interesting. I would like to know more...could you please upload more?

  • Great. I would like to see the continueation

  • great video. thnks for enlightening us
