[amn3h23h2]

if i went to india to try to learn sanskrit and the vedas/bhagavad gita, would the brahmins reject me because i'm an american? i don't want to be disrespectful or insult them, so i thought i would ask around before even considering going there

@amn3h23h2, Brahmin is brahmin by virtue of knowledge and qualities. A true brahmin will never reject anyone who is genuinely interested. If they do, its good for you (you got rid of one fake brahmin). Having said that, I think there are ample texts on internet to self learn important hindu concepts. You may begin with that.

Thank you for this outstanding video. It is easy for people to comment and give criticisms, but very difficult for them to actually do anything. Keep up the good work. The world is indebted to people like you, who take the trouble of making our ancient culture accessible to the common man.

@najoosiclub, Thanks for your kind and encouraging words.

I suggest all read a book called Being Different by Rajiv Malhotra.

@314159265352 This kind of glib tripe is why inculturation and outright theft of Hindu dharma is happening. Westerners are untouchables plain and simple; their very low birth precludes them from being allowed to study the Veda or even do (proper) Yoga. In fact, that is why no westerner is a real yogi; they are drowned in mere asana which is body (ego) centric. The Vedas can be studied only under a proper guru and by dvija males (Indian Hindus).

[MahaVakyas]

@amn3h23h2 You are an untouchable and thus you will not be accepted by any authentic Vedic pandit. Those who claim to "accept" you will do so for a fee which is already dubious to begin with. There is a reason you were born outside of India in a very low birth (westerner). Through many lifetimes of tapas (penance), you can pray that you should be born as a human in India and then work your way up to be able to learn the Veda. It would be an insult to Hindus if you tried to study it.

Awesome work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[prijak]

So what good is sanskrit closed captioning in roman script at the bottom? It is not doing anyone any good. A translation would be better appreciated.

[prijak]

@314159265352 Oh please - don't let him learn the pronunciation from the Internet. It's hard for us Indians to pronounce those words!

[prijak]

@amn3h23h2: They teach Sanskrit at most of the Universities around India so you do not have to learn it from a religious teacher. They won't subject you to the same rigorous lifestyle and schedule as they did to William Jones (the philologist) in the 18th century who wanted to learn Sanskrit (give up eating meat and waking up at 4 am, among other things).

The words feel so familiar and bring me such peace & comfort ...although I have never heard them before.
