I come from Catholic lineage of priests etc.dating back several centuries in the north of France and then to America,one of whom was buried in the crypt beneath the church where I was baptized by my own cousin. My practice in Catholic ritual was daily and one would think that it would inform my later life. My life however took a turn,when synchronicity led me to the East and to Hinduism .Ultimately, It's vastness and depth eclipsed anything I had learned from Adamic faith based religion since I am after all a modern person not inclined to take things on faith. Hinduism, especially Shaivism was grounded in science and experience. I resonate deeply and learn from your lectures. Your deep compassion is palpable and I admire your dedication to service greatly. Thank you for being an exemplar of what is good and noble and for raising the bar .

God is one, but who can stop the God to be many to show his different aspects and manifestation among infinite. God is formless, but who can stop the God to come in any form any time

Here is an Irishman offering a new perspective of the promises Hinduism holds out for the new world. He tries to awaken the Hindus', beckoning them to hold out a promise of Hinduism being the solution in the global context. Sees and examines Hindu concepts and compares them with the Christian thought and Aristotle's philosophy. He compares with Voltaire, Locke, Hume and other Western philosophers with Indian approach thus revealing new vistas for its exposition and whips up a thought that it must be taught, debated and treated as an academic subject for theological debate. Interesting. Thanks.

Great Thoughts by Wise Man!!!

WE ARE SEEKERS NOT BELIEVERS IN EVERYTHING TO BE BE TRUTH WE QUESTIONED BEFORE BELIEVING!

Hinduism although having its roots in India endorses every Hindu and every person of faith or belief to uphold their dharma and it is through this practical approach that we can define our dharma and responsibility to each other and the world. As a Western-Hindu it would have been nice to hear of the Hindu phenomena outside India. The main question asked of a Hindu is Why Hindus worship many Gods? This simply needs to be addressed as understanding that the many lead to the One and the One leads to the many. The inter-transference of One-Many & Many-One is the whole concept of Hindu Dharma as I understand it. But one more point. Hindus also understand that every one journeys through history at their own pace, abilities and awareness. It is because of this that we cannot rush towards rapid change when people have not acclimatized to existing change. We have to take everybody on board this ship and wait for the oldest, slowest and weakest one's too so that no one is abandoned. Faith is not to blame-It is ignorance of our own understanding of life and our lack of reasoning towards the key tenets of faith that makes us go wrong. We cannot blame the other as we all share the burden of ignorance but this does not mean that we can't aspire to be better people and give hope-practical hope that is easily accessible to all. The very essence of Hinduism is that we can do so. Thank you for your talk.

Thanks a lot sir, for enlightenment.

Amazing and so right 🙏🏻

that's talk happen when you know so much and want to share this with world.

Excellent temperament. India has held a pretty decent record of being secular and should strive to do so. There are fringe elements in every society and everyone needs to be alert on the exploitation of those fringe elements for personal or political gain.

Thanks for this video...

Brilliant analysis and presentation. Thank you.

God is one, but who can stop the God to be many to show his different aspects and manifestation among infinite.

An in-depth study & research with clear mind is visible in this lecture, which is giving words to express fluently & the requisite confidence to answer any question & counter any argument by putting the things in right perspective, which is the essence of Sanaatan Vedic-Dharm! The most important aspect is the suggestion to invest in education & need to come at world stage. He has shaken us to the reality that, we need more & more Vivekanand-swaamis to enlighten the human-race !!! Thanks for being so true to self !

Been imagining I am or could become someone like Shaunaka Rishi Das for years. I am 26. I have found the path towards finding myself through this video I randomly found after a decade of sinister KZfaq Poops. I now understand that finding this means I am this. Amazing.

Hindus stop asking stupid questions and hold on to Him tight,he is our ticket to west

The first religious book is Bhagwan Gita, which was given to the human kind long before there was eith bible, Torah, Quran or any other religious book.

It's okay because, it's written that one day the society will collapse and whatever peace there is in this world wil be lost and same goes for hindus as well. It's sad but it's happening according to the scriptures.

Everything makes sense except the point where he says that you have to be in Harvard/Oxford to be taken seriously - I would argue that we must create such centers in India (given how it is politically impossible for an actual Hindu to challenge the Freudian view of the West in their universities. I would be naive to think that Harvard and Oxford are free from the vagaries of politics!).

India is a poor nation and thousands of people are struggling for existence. For them economical freedom is much more important than religious freedom. We must look them from different angle.

Nationalist Hindus are not Indian? Hahahaha this guy is conman
