If Rastafari is Hinduism, why did people pay with their lives when they grew locks & followed the way of life? It is clearly something that was here in the beginning, that the 1% did not want to see back on this Earth. Hinduism is already here, & I have not seen a female cow being worshipped at no point in Rastafari?? Hinduism is a religion & Rastafari is NOT!!!

There's a reason for that! Hindus ot east Indian hasn't really join the liberation front, in most cases they undermine any such movement, most Caribbean Indians are racist and trust me i have a lot of indian friends. They still blame Obama but they wouldn't dare blame any white men🤔...very oddly behavior dont u think?!?

Dude read 📚 history that belong to ancient Africans you are reading 📚 history that can give you any sense because is written by white man,when hindism started using dreadlocks, donkey people like you making hypocrisy about black africa history to be Indian,dreadlocks has be in Africa for than 100 to 200 thousands years, among Africans

How is that possible when Hindusim belief predated Rastafarian belief over 7000 years?? Rasta sect came into existence in mid 1800s and was influenced by over a million Asian Coolies slaves (from South Asia , Se-Asia and East Asia) that was suppsoed to replace African slavery since the beginning of 1800s. Meaning these Elites eas already planning to free African since early 1800s. First Asian coolies step foot in America by 1801. Abolished slavery didnt take effect until 1865...

Oh absolutely, I would agree. We have to remember that most of our history is written by winners and remember that the saying 'All's fair in love and war' hits the spot correctly. Thankfully there are a few surviving records of many Sanatanis who preferred to be slaughtered or buried alive than have their janev (sacred thread worn by many ascetics and strict followers of Sanatan Dharma) snatched or convert.

Black people are the first cut it out. Yes this is from a black Rasta. Everything was taken from the Bantu scrolls

The challenge in creating video is figuring out what exactly to include - there was so much more that could have been included

Can you show evidence of Howell being contracted by Indians to grow ganja? When Howell was imprisoned his followers were not driven to exile. That’s an outright lie. Those that remained during his imprisonment were always Rasta. I think it’s you who needs to do more research.

What evidence do you have that Howell was contracted to cultivate weed by Indians? Howell was imprisoned a few times but his followers were never driven into exile. Thats not true at all. The “survivors” did not emerge as Rasta as they already were Rasta. Where are you getting your info from?

Wow you hit the nail on the head

Did you ever think that due to colonialism had a part to play of the Indian vs Black dynamic? I know in Trinidad and Guyana Indians were always pitted against blacks but that had nothing to do with Hinduism and more do with creating division.

He is most definitely correct. I was told of this connection by elderly rastas in Jamaica in the early 70s and it has been written up in the Jamaica Gleaner Newspaper a few times already. Hint: Ganja originated in the higher elevations of the Ganges River in India.

Dreadlocks earliest incarnation was in India bud. "Dreadlocks" throughout Africa has no connection to Rastafarianism. And a lot of Indians want to preserve their culture. When they marry outsiders, it leads to ethnocultural erasure. Hence the reason why Hinduism is dwindling in the Caribbean. And Indians are being absorbed into other communities. And Indians do hire people from your community. And if they don't it has nothing to do with hierarchies. It has to do with it being a family business. This narrative that people from your background propagate about us considering wh... People above us is disinformation.

yep!

It’s not downplaying, it’s correction. None of what is said in this video is the prevailing narrative or oral history within Rastafari. So why should Jamaicans or Rastas accept this when even the scholarship by Mansingh is poor.

@playwright5037 Mansingh isn't the only scholarship. I linked 2 other Journal articles in my video description. I. Not claiming that Hindus created Rastafari. I am stating that the Hindu influence is largely ignored and the influence of Hindus/Indians in Jamaican culture is not known.

@@HinduLifestyle okay I’ll read them later, thanks!! My point remains that videos like this imply that it is Hinduism why Rastas believe in oneness (I-n-I), vegetarianism(ital), reincarnation, locs, smoking marijuana etc but all of these things are found in the regions that enslaved come from and many were already dominant features of Jamaican indigenous religions like Revivalism, Kumina and Myal. Videos like these clutch onto the Ganguru thing without realising that some of tenants like wearing locs weren’t practise by men like Howell

@@playwright5037i think you are taking a leap when you say that the video is implying that Hinduism is the ((reason?)) Rastas believe in a.)b.) and c.) etc it is merely pointing out the influences. and the truth is every culture, group, and society is influenced by others, especially if the two intermingle. it's better to not be wound up so tightly in this ego that this culture has all of the answers and is influenced by no others. it's actually quite ethnocentric to behave that way. Inclusivity is where it's at bro. When we start accepting the fact that we are all the same but slightly different then there will be less and less to argue about. Namaste. also maybe you could do a video about the other regions that enslaved people come from that have dominant features of Jamaican indigenous religions....I would actually like to hear more about that.

The truth can be found within Parmahansa Yoganandas Books. The Autobiography of a Yogi and The Yoga of Jesus. Please read his books. Jesus in the Gospels is a metaphor for awakened Kundalini energy. The story of Jesus Crucifixion and Resurrection coincide with 5000-year-old yogic knowledge on how to raise the Kundalini energy. How the Cristos oil is secreted by the brain, makes its way down the spine and stays there for 3 days and 3 nights before you have the opportunity to raise it with force up the spine and break open your calcified pineal gland. This in turn awakens your third eye, which is receiving Christ, where you realize you are one with God. In the Old Testament Moses was the metaphor for awakened Kundalini. Moses meets God on the third day on top of Mount Sainai. Mount Meru, Mount Sainai, Mount Olympus, World Tree Iggdrasil are all metaphors for the spine. The realms are chakras, Heaven and Aesgard is Crown Chakra, from which our awareness fell to root chakra, Midgard, Earth. Fallen angels are our virtues marrying bodily desires leading to the offspring, our evil deeds or demons. Hinduism states Gods are made up of pure consciousness, meaning they are in the mind. For example Vishnu is the act of preservation, his avatars are Rama (Righteousness), Krishna (intellect), Parusrama (divine retribution), etc. if any one of these virtues is used for the sake of bodily pleasure, then you have welcomed demons. The Kingdom of God is within.

If we study profoundly ,we manu(man) are the descendent of Rishi Kashyap from eden(kashmir)

Protestant Christianity with Pan-Africanism as a focal point. Hindus inspired them to do this. Africans were not united but Indians were. The guy who founded Rastafarianism wanted unity so he created this ideology.

​@@imacarguy4065there is no ism in Rastafarian livity. Fire bun isms. Nor is Rasta livity a religion. It was a black liberation movement from it's conception and has been commercialized and watered down by the not fully committed who indulged in it for their own carnal reasons.

​@@imacarguy4065furthermore Rasta has nothing to do with Christianity. The BIBLE was written by Israelites for Israelites. It is our book period. Christians don't truly possess the holy spirit to overstand it. Please don't associate us with them.

Indians were enslaved and they were not allowed to keep there names

Congolese indentured labour brought herbs in to Jamaica before Indians arrived. Dreadlocks started with the Mau Mau from Kenya who grew their locks when fighting the British in the late 40’s/ early 50’s. It’s best to research than just accept one video.

No, that statement is not accurate. There is no historical evidence or widely accepted information suggesting that India was ever referred to as "East Ethiopia." India has a rich history with its own ancient names, and it has been known by various names in different periods and regions

Furthermore, 'Ganges' is not the name... It is name GANGA

@@HinduLifestyle Yeah, You do know names change over time right, furthermore it doesn't negate the truth.

It absolutely does negate the truth.

@HinduLifestyle That's not misinformation, you just need to do more research. I wish I can find the documentary I got it from recently. I also got books on the subject, I just gotta dig them up!!!

Pretty sure that's how it got there. I think it was the Shiva branch of Hinduism that inspired it.

The idea of oneness of all people and the divine within us is not unique to Hinduism, it is found in many African spiritual beliefs and it’s not even alien to the Christian world, Jesus express one with the with each other and divine is reason why they killled Jesus in the bible.

@playwright5037 definitely true, even having the freedom to see God in the way one sees fit. However, Jesus is one thing, "Christianity" is another. It's very alien in modern Christianity....

Garvey from 1927 was encouraging Garveyites to sight up HIM as a rallying point for blak ppl, not bible or Hindu. Hindu did not create Rastafari. There is no evidence of Sahdus in Jamaica. Howell and non of the 3 other forefathers wore locks. Why not? Only Howell was in contact with Hindus why didn’t he grow locks if he took so many other aspects from them as you believe?

Cultural borrowing certainly happened.

Do you think the animist as you call them, did not believe in vegetarian diets, peace and love. And surely as South African you know how long Africans have used marijuana for, 100s of years.

Brought again by Indians

the prevailing narrative in academia today is that it was brought to so called “sub-Saharan” Africa from East African sailors in the 13th-14th century from their Indian Ocean travels, but spread via African trade routes, so no not brought by Indians directly, I hope you know I love Indians, you guys just don’t know enough about our history and recycle European tropes when trying tell our history.

It's still Indian origin - what I'm trying to understand here is why so much angst? My main reason for making the video was to acknowledge cultural influences and borrowing. That is the reality. Similiar to how a Caribbean identity was influences by our African brothers. Simple as that

Cope, what I gathered from all these comments is that the African diaspora is a confused mess of Christian pseudo history and cultural appropriation of Egypt, the fact that rastafarians admit that there is a connection to Indian Sadhus and that they call Marijuana Ganja is what makes this historically accurate, if you don't like facts then keep living in yur fantasy world, rastas are a offshoot of Indian asceticism mixed in with Christian mythology.
