Thank you! That's wonderful. I'm not sure what form our collaboration would take. Perhaps interviewing each other? Let me know if you have any ideas!

Hindu is not a religion punk. It is a ciizenship.

because I am false hindu is true

Hindu is a religion. Hindi is the culture

Alicia Ainsburg I would appreciate if there was awareness in people to call it Sanatan Sanskriti or Vedic Dharma. Sanatan Sanskriti is repository of knowledge with human evolution. This evolved with the time and yug (kaal). 1.Since Dharma evolved and led humans from darkness to light from ignorance to knowledge. "tamso ma jyotirgamaya". There was no other religion to compete So there is no name, no rules for bashing other religion and concept of conversion. You can't bash criticize or compete non existent. 2. This is why got more than 1400 books scriptures on various topics helpful in material and spiritual life and this knowledge evolved with time. 3. Ayurvda, Medicine, Vyakrna, Natyashashtra, state crafts, yagya hawan ritual, philosophy, astrology, Jyotish, poetics, sangita shastra, yoga, Veda,Vedanta, Puran, Mimansa architecture mathematics to name a few. Books are available on every aspect of human brain can imagine in such a detail that only one book Mahabharat contains one lakh shlokas. 4. In short Dharma is celebration of the diversity of Human knowledge. 5. We as a layman only know about Dharma as a blind man knows about elephant after holding the tail of the elephant. 6. Most of us are only able to know what we see on daily basis like nature and creation worship. And on the basis of this we criticize and appreciate dharma. But Dharma criticize none. Dharma don't give scope for criticism but enlightenment and seeking truth . 7. There is so much more to know. Since I am born in a Dharma followers family. Therefore I celebrate the diversity of human thoughts with ease. Dose not mean i know everything. But once you will know Dharma out of the set criteria of Abrahamic religion for Dharma. You will find nothing to criticize like a blind man holding an elephant tail and saying why he is made to hold a snake. Instead of criticism You will question and seek answers. 8. For example when you see a survivor on discovery eating dead animal poo and pee either you appreciate or criticize this. But no one can deny that this human will survive the odd. And Dharma have a complete set of philosophy and practicing sect called aghori. However a few. To make sure that the human will survive the extreme. Human will not die out because of the certain dogmas made by the so called civilized society or religion. Dharma supports all accommodates all. 9. Religion ends at heaven and hell only but the Dharma gives to strive even beyond this. That's Moksha complete liberation. 10. If someone adopts Sanatan dharma way of life. He automatically fits into the either Varna Vyavstha Brahman Kshatriya Vaishya Shudra according to profession or Ashram Vyavstha Brahmacharya Grihasth Vanprasth and Sanyas. Together its called Varnashram Vyavstha for the benefit of the society. I can enlighten you on this vedic Varnashram vayvstha. Mail me Varna division start from us. Our head is our brahma to control our shoulders are our kshatriya to protect us our stomach is our vysya to feed us and our foot are our shudra to serve us. Another term division of profession. Which exists all over the world in different forms. And this is most scientific division of profession to avoid conflict in society. This Varna can be achieved by your Karma. To fit into Ashram one has nothing to do. Fits in naturally and can stay in any of the phase as long as he wants. Now it depends on us that we respect equally to our teacher and our toilet cleaner. Which Dharma clearly says respect each and every thing. This is why worship for all not only to teachers. So if you respect your teacher and toilet cleaner equally you are a great Dharmik person. Now where you see fault in this varna system. Lots of Rishi were not born in cast Brahman but respected worshipped. For details you mail me. Cast seems a tribal identity with all the evils of Ego and depends totally an individual local social environment no support from Dharma 11. Comparing Dharma with one book one prophet religion is not a good idea. Can only increase ignorance. Because books of mazhab are small simple and for that for the followers of that particular mazhab only. So better study the world's oldest surviving civilization based on Dharma with universal application, yourself. अहं बर्हमासमी l तत त्वं असी. सर्वे जना:सुखिनो भवन्तु. सर्वे सन्तु निराम्या:l वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम l

Just read geeta once all your doubts will be cleared :)

Thank you so much! I just discovered Farhan Qureshi a week or so ago and I've been enjoying his videos. I'll have to reach out to him and see if we can collaborate on something!

That would be great. Will eagerly look forward for it. Thank you.

Ambaa choate: I respect you.my respect increased alot .but in India,lot of innocent Indians who are poor and lack of knowledge people forcibly converting to Christianity.choosing any religion is individual choice but not mass conversation.or not by giving money nor suppling wrong knowledge..Thank you so much.

Ch Billy : sir Hindus will convert to other religion for the following reasons: 1) They don't apply spirituality with math and sciences​ 2) poor people will convert for living hood 3) lack of knowledge .if we apply spirituality with math & science, Hindu Dharmam is equal to math & science.one who is educated and seeker of one applied science and math,must come to Hindu Dharmam.already 80 Percent of scientists in the world already converted either atheist or Hindu

Thank you! That's so kind of you to say!

What a lovely comment! Thank you so much!

words have no meanings if you have no sadhna or real experiential knowledge

you should try to make more hindu in your society,

Thank you so much! Honesty is what I strive for!

Yeah, rightly said. These missionaries with good funding were able to drive a sizeable population trick away from their spiritual freedom all in the name of love, charity, caste system and promise from freeing from hell.

Thank you so much! You are very kind!

You are most Welcome. Plz Keep sharing more knowledge.

Awe! Thank you! That's so kind :)

It's true

Thank you!

Oh wow. That's a big one. I will try to do it justice!

aham brahmasmi means i am the god a m creator and this is not good to say this word is not for humans aham is the greatest defeat. in hinduism if you want to please god and attain moksha and liberation from this reincarnation then yuou must leave that aham inside you be a peaceful humble man

Hahaha. Perhaps I make it harder than it needs to be! But I find when I talk honestly about my struggles, it seems to help other non-Indians who are thinking about practicing Hinduism.

Thank you! I think. lol

Yep, he was sleeping. I keep on making videos when he's asleep because it's so convenient, but it's also nice to have him on. I'll try to do better to have him in the video (I should have disclaimers in the description! "No Garrick Ravi in this one")

It hasn't been too hard! My husband is Buddhist and I'm Advaitan Hindu, so we see eye-to-eye on a lot. Check out our video series A Hindu And A Buddhist Walk Into A Marriage where you can see us debating philosophy!

Ambaa Choate but there is similarity is one name of chanting aum (ॐ) it's the goal . aum is the name of lovely name.be share each other .cool family .

Hahaha thank you! Yeah, it's been an interesting journey!

Agreed! Saved us from what exactly? Because God just can't contain his wrath unless someone is murdered?! But yeah, Jesus himself said many lovely things so there is that!

Ambaa Choate what you did on holi??

Exactly!

Thank you so much for sharing your story! It's nice to know that you understand what I went through! I too am glad in retrospect that it didn't work out. I have a great husband now and you are totally right that trying to hide my real beliefs would have brought only misery to everyone involved.

That's a tough place to be in! I'm very lucky that I didn't have strong christian influences like that and my parents are more or less Hindus themselves. It's okay to take it slow. There's a book called How To Become A Hindu that's very good and I wrote a short ebook on how to become a Hindu as well that's on Amazon with some practical tips on going to a temple and managing family. The Himalayan Academy has some great resources and books. I've always found reading a page from Dancing With Shiva each day to be a great practice.

@@thewhitehindu Thank you, I'll take a look at the books you mentioned

TOM it’s Krishna not Jesus

😅😂😂😂😂fuck your jesus

Rose DeWitt Edward jesus bless you

lol

Ambaa Choate like seriously what do you aay to them.... I want to know

@@vipulupadhyay3678 that is sindoor....

And just like that I'm convinced! Hahahaha. Paul was an asshole.

No,Paul hated lies like you' with out the Spirit of truth you can not understand the words of Jesus Chris' you have a lieing spirit'

Adnan Raman stop believing in hell , it’s used to scare people and it’s bullshit. Leave Jesus. Follow Krishna and understand that god is merciful (reincarnation, no hell fires)

I have a video going up on my friend Farhan's page shortly about interpreting Christianity in ways that are not assholeish (exclusive). Part of my point there is that I think it is crazy to think that when Jesus talked about himself, he means that particular body and point in time. Krishna says "All paths lead to Me." But when he says "Me" we don't assume he means only the blue skinned cow herder. Why would Jesus not mean his divine soul when he speaks about "me"? You can think the Gita is false. I will witness that the Bible is false. Just a bunch of words put down by some fanatics. There is literally no reason whatsoever for me to believe the Bible. It's like a slick salesmen. "I created this problem, now you have to buy from me to solve it!"

+ Ambaa Choate, did not you claim before you were a Unity Unitarian? Do you deny the doctrine of Father , Son, Holy Spirit.. And do you maintain that God is one person, and accepts Christ as a man imbued with the divine spirit, but not himself divine.-adj. 1. of or having to do with Unitarianns or their doctrines. 2. characteristic of Unitarians or their doctrines.3. adhering to Unitarianism. This matter is not material or metal sales item. I have a Gita book myself from www.gita4free.com and it goes along with Hinduism, deaths, rebirths, Karma, and reincarnations. The Gita is mainly about assumed supreme secret philosophy, reported the transcendental knowledge of the Gita according to Gita 18:68-69; Is your savior Krishna in the Gita book like Arjuna? Arjuna did obey Krishna command in Gita 18:73; You are a mother, not a warrior like Anjuna. You should be careful of your careless word you wrote (component of excretion) in your first sentence. I just got a Gita booklet (Abbreviated) in the mail with the main important points. You know the Gita is translated different in the English translations. Jesus words are spirit and life. Krishna is not claiming he is the Son of God. Krishna in the GIta book is claiming to be Brahman the Creator, or the Supreme Being and so on. Jesus is the Word of God that became flesh.. I think you adhered to Unitarian teachings than the 26 books of the New Testament. I do not think you rightly divided the word of truth in the Bible. There is no Father (God) and Son (Jesus Christ) in Unitarian or Hinduism. Which means both are anti christ or anti christ spirit, according to 1 John 2: 18, 22-23; I can only advise or warn you. There is no real salvation in Krishna or reading or minding the GIta book philosophy teachings or opinions. The Gita book just maintains or enforces Hinduism teachings or subject matter. God sent His Word. Hinduism ancient religious leaders and ancient philosophier's fabricated the original Gita book or other Hinduism books. Jesus Christ already did more than 5,000 years ministry or and in less than 3 years of ministry. Jesus Christ already conquer death and the grave. Hindu's past and present have to go through the never ending cycles of deaths, rebirths, karma's and reincarnations to be free or at liberty. Which is all vain for nothing. What profit is it. If you gain all you want in Hinduism, and lose your soul anyway? Jesus Christ asked if Peter would leave, in John 6:67-69; Peter said, Jesus has the words of eternal life. There is no one else to go to. Instead you left Unitarian, did not enter into real Christianity, and joined up with a compromising religion of Hinduism. Jesus also said to people. What can you give in exchange for your soul? We have nothing to exchange our souls for. I guess you or someone else will report of the true or false propaganda reports in the past about money given to past Hindu's to be converting to Christianity in India. When the British came and ruled India. This might have been done. But the converts were not real Christians. When money given ended, They can still return to their past religions or ideologies were. Present Christians are not accountable for other religious people in the past. When I see that video, I will read, and comment also. The Gita book is false . The major points in the Gita book does not line up with the written words of Jesus Christ. In your past, you did not believe the Son of God or Jesus being the way, the truth, and the life, No one comes to the Father, but by Jesus Christ.-John 14:6; You have many voices in Hinduism. Brahman, Krishna is not Christ, you have a host of other gods, goddesses, and avatars. Confusion is not of God, with the many voices. You should have done a objective study of Unitarian and Hinduism before joining up. Jesus did warn not to let mankind or Guru's deceive you , and not deceive yourself. Jesus said also in Matthew 24;24; there shall arise false Christ's,and false prophets in other religions or philosophy.

My parents brought me to a Unitarian church when I was little. I don't know that much about Unitarian doctrine. I do know that I spent four years trying with all my heart to be an Evangelical Christian and I studied the Bible deeply. I could never get it to make any sense to me. I don't believe in the Bible, so quoting at me means nothing. I don't care what some dude said a guy named Jesus said. Doesn't make any difference in my life. I do not believe we have anything we need to be saved from. I think Christians made up a problem in order to sell a solution and they've done a lot of harm in the world pursuing that.

Also, present Christians are doing despicable things to coerce and trick Hindus into joining. It's not in the past.

+ Ambaa Choate, okay, maybe you were not born again of God through Jesus Christ. If you were born again of God. The Holy Spirit would give you revelation or understanding, teaching you, and guilding you. Your problem is you departed from Jesus, like reported in John 6:66; Many disciples got offended, and walked no more with Jesus. Your unbelief is program by the opposition indoctrination of your mind set now. Krishna reported about sin, sinful, sinning in the Gita book. Krishna reported about salvation or Nirvana with a different context. The only problem is that you still have hidden sins, done wrongs, and faults within your soul or heart. You can not judge all Christian's by so call in name only Christians. You could have been a name in Christian only in your past also. You could have been credulous. That is meaning you were too ready to believe. Credulous people are easily fooled, and often swindled by Hinduism. Your soul was swindled by Krishna. Because you have nothing to exchange for your soul. And no one is forcing you to believe in Krishna. You are doing so willingly. You have can willingly change your mind. That is your prerogative. People study the Bible deeply. But they are not changed within. It is just a lot of self effort or flesh and blood. You just had head knowledge, not change of heart knowledge.
