When I met an Indian Master 3 years ago my life changed! I was blessed with Shaktipat and discovered a divinity within myself that completely altered my perception of the world! My new name is now Sanatan! To quote Swamiji 'You have forgotten who you are!' Not anymore! xxxxxxxx

Yeah of course as long as you like your gods that you worship have these characteristics!!!! Reply to this then. Yes, that's right. Hindu "gods" rape women according to Hindu scriptures. One must ask, how can someone worship these "gods" even though they raped women? I'd certainly lynch these criminals if they were around now in these times. Here are quotes taken from the Hindus "divine" scriptures: "One day the sage Atri was performing tapas with his wife Anasuya. Brahma, Visnu, and Siva came and offered him a boon, but Atri remained silent, meditating. Then the three gods went to Anasuya. Siva had his linga in his hand, Visnu was full of erotic feeling, and Brahma was beside himself with desire, saying to Anasuya, 'Make love with me or I will die.' When she heard this coarse speech, Anasuya made no reply, for, although she feared the anger of the gods, she was true to her husband. But they were overcome with delusion, and they raped her by force. Then she became angry and she cursed Siva to be worshipped as a linga, Brahma to be worshipped in the form of a head, and Visnu to be worshipped as feet, in order to ridicule them all, and she cursed them all to be reborn as her sons. Because of this, Siva was reborn as Durvasas." -- Bhavisya Purana 3:4:17:67-78. "Formerly the gods lusted for Gautama's wife and raped her, for their wits were destroyed by lust. Then they were terrified and went to the sage Durvasas [an incarnation of Siva], who said, 'I will remove all your defilements with the Satarudriya Mantra [an ancient Saiva prayer].' Then he gave them ashes which they smeared upon their bodies, and their sins were shaken off." -- Padma Purana 4:101:174-9. ".... Indra raped Ahalya and was cursed by her husband, the sage Gautama, to lose all his prosperity ...." -- Brahmavaivarta Purana 4:47:11-45.

I came to this film in an almost turbulent state of mind. Within a few minutes, I began to feel a little calmer. Shortly after, I felt peace. A film lifting a person from a negative to a positive state of mind can only be termed a success. Akanksha, the very experience of watching your film has been peaceful. And I have yet to complete watching it. I would call your tribute to your parents a prayer. God bless.

Hinduism is not a religion its spirituality, its a thought, its a way of life, its more than what we can think! Swami Satyananda is right, India is not just a nation, it's mother. If you want to experience that love come to India. I have visited over 40 countries, never got that peace and satisfaction what i feel in lap of mother India. Thank you India. You are the heart of the world.

I have seen more " wise " people on the streets of my country than in the corridors of prestigious universities. This video is probably the only one of it's kind because it brings out the very essence of the vedic wisdom without getting entangled in the details. I really cannot believe that someone has actually pulled it off so beautifully. Hats off to the team. Hope life will take you to greater heights. " YATHO VAACHO NIVARTHANTHE APRAAPYA MANASA SAHA ".

Dear Akanksha, a beautiful video. There are various ways one can attain spiritual awakening - by rituals, by knowledge of vedas, by worshiping. Experience is the world’s best teacher. I totally agree with KVS. Can you be happy within yourself - regardless of what others think about you or talk about you, regardless of your imperfections & shortcomings? If so you are awakened. If your happiness depends on others or the material world, then its not happiness, its attachment / co- dependency. Proud to be born in India 🇮🇳 Proud of what India has given to the world - the Vedas.

What meant to be Hindu is that it takes nothing, if you shouldn't belive in god you're still Hindu, if you don't follow a culture or ceremony you're Hindu, if you eat any kind of meat you're still Hindu, this is the beauty of hinduism

Asok Bhadra (Canada) Akanksha, you have presented to the world in one hour what Veda, different comments from people from foreign lands stating their experience & India's openness to absorb all with open mind, is a lesson to us all, more is not necessarily a gift for happiness. You have displayed it very well & music was just perfect. God bless you

Excellent documentary,very good teachings, and well filmed. Thanks.

Akanksha's creation far exceeds my own vision of juxtaposing, synergizing and harmonizing everything so beautifully that I am expressionless. I identify myself completely with it. My book Seed of Genius also focuses towards this inner self-awareness and optimizing ourselves while on Planet earth. Each one of us must spend the 50 minutes watching and imbibing this, without interruption, as Akanksha's creation is a meditation in itself. Please share after watching and not as a mere reflex action of liking and sharing.

I was searching for K.V.S or K.V Subrananiyam. His spiritual evolution and wisdom is extraordinary. I couldn't find him anywhere tho.

I have been watching this master piece every year for last 8 years , every time it purifies my soul .

This journey is one that so many of us have taken and so filled with discoveries that nourishes the inner being of each in its own individual way. What a beautiful journey is this.......

you did a great job...We have treasure which is unexplored to world or even to many indians...

HI Akanksha : Congratulations !!!! This is a beautiful film -- in less than 50 minutes you have beautifully described Sanatan Dharma (BTW as Swami Satyananda explains in the film, I try to avoid using the word 'Hinduism') . . . Commentary, interviews, video shots, landscapes, the chants, the music -- everything is perfect . . . in particular, about 6 minutes commentary at the end accompanied by Raag 'Bhairavi' in the background is deeply touching. Sanatan Dharma or the Vedic Dharma is grossly misunderstood, even by its so-called followers, not to mention by foreigners. In Sri Aurobindo's words: "The highest spirituality indeed moves in a free and wide air far above the LOWER STAGES OF SEEKING, which is governed by religious FORM AND DOGMA. . .But man does not arrive immediately at that highest [spiritual] inner elevation and, if it were demanded from him at once, he would never arrive there. At first he needs lower supports and stages of ascent; he asks for scaffolding of DOGMA, WORSHIP, IMAGE, SIGN, FORM, SYMBOL, SOME INDULGENCE and permission of mixed half-natural motive on which he can stand while he builds up in him the temple of spirit. Only when the temple is completed CAN THE SUPPORT BE REMOVED, THE SCAFFOLDING DISAPPEAR. . . It is only if we have a just and right appreciation of THIS SENSE AND SPIRIT OF INDIAN RELIGION that we can come to an understanding of the TRUE SENSE AND SPIRIT of Indian culture." ("The Foundation of Indian Culture", p. 122) The film will allow not only foreigners but many Indians too of all faiths understanding the true import of this age old philosophy, religion, spirituality, Dharma, or the 'Way of Life'. I have already watched it at least a dozen times since I accidentally found its link on facebook. Thanks again for bringing out this great work for the world to enjoy. Amal Gupta ( Boston, USA)

Hindu Nectar is like being served hot piping chai on a cold winter morning - a reminder of home that invokes a sweet longing for....for the forgotten, for the deeply buried memories and for the missing pieces of one's self. It helps that the visuals are gorgeous and Chinmaya's background score is appropriately haunting. This 45 minute film confirms that India is not a nation, India is a spiritual proposal, a way of dropping the self and finding the Infinite. Cannot wait to see what else Akanksha will manifest in the future!

Unfortunately the art of Vedic chanting is diminishing, perhaps you could help in the revival by making it part of your future docus. The background score is beautiful!!

Watched it. Loved it. It has been made with a lot of love and affection. Most of the protagonists are people from outside India who have been influenced and have chosen to adopt the Hindu way and live in India. They have come under the influence and learnt the ways from scratch. They have thus tasted the nectar, and have decided that this is the aim of their existence. The film maker has had the Hindu tradition handed down to her through family rituals and elders’ stories. Now she has embarked upon a journey to delve into the truths behind the tales. What better analysts than those who have chosen to renounce their previous ways of life and adopt the Hindu way. Their approach is objective, and they go straight for the jugular, without getting bogged down in anything whose essence they do not understand. Yes, it is a soul-led approach to a way of life, not a set of rules and customs. It is an experience that lightens and uplifts. It is a child’s tribute to her Baba and Amma. As such, we see a lot of reserve and restraint in Akanksha; in her words, in her voice; more awe and less dance. Some of us miss the childlike abandon, but we understand that it has been sacrificed to respect and gratitude.

7th time i m watching this video, yet never bothered to commenting on it,, every time i try to write but i feel totally vacuum ,, thanks for this video,,

I just clicked on it to see 3/4 minutes of this presentation but I could not let my eyes get out of it till the last minute..... such great it is.....my love & pride on I being a sanatan & Bhartiya are increased 1000 times....."ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE OF LIFE".

A marvellous master piece. Every Indian should watch. It's for all. ❤

May all sentient being be happy, peaceful and free from suffering!

very beautifully narrated, Hinduism above all religions.

Akanksha, and everyone who made this movie: Thank you for taking us through this deep and stirring journey in such a short time. May this movie reach many more people. The visuals were arresting, the voiceover was sincere and engrossing, and the background music overwhelming. Loved Mr KVS. His words, conviction and clarity won me over. It is not an academic overview, not an intellectual treatise, but watching this movie was like experiencing the essence of what many term as Hinduism.

Maya, Atma, Moksha, if you encounter these words frequently in your life - Hindu nector is for you..Hindu nector will take you to the journey, and this is not India's journey, this is not the journey of Hinduism. It's you. It's your own journey. It will take you to your own inner silence. It will shake you from your core. If you are done with watching movies, watch Hindu nector and your thirst would be filed. Thanks Akanksha for giving this marvelous masterpiece.

Easily the Best Documentary I have ever seen....Hats off to the producers and the entire team ! Touched my HEART...;)

The Hindu world/universal view and concepts: Extremely hard to wrap your head around. 1. Atman: The Self (not soul, sanskrit non-translatable). Atman is present in all living beings. In worms, dogs, elephants and man (includes woman). 2. Brahman: inpersonal,non-authoritative,non-punitive,formless,shapeless presence across every nook and cranny of the universe/multiverse. Brahman is the reason why the laws of physics are consistent, the reason why the volcano erupts etc. Brahman is transcendental,all expansive, ultimate reality. 3. Atman = Brahman: the microcosm is the same as the macro cosm. You are Brahman. 'Tatvam Asi' = 'Thou art that'. 4. Atman is pure. 5. Atman can merge with brahman THROUGH: Yoga (root word: 'Yuj = union' of body,mind and Atman. THROUGH: Sadhana: Rituals. THROUGHBhakthi: Worship and reverence. THROUGH Gyana: Knowledge of the Vedas. 6. Brahman present in every nook and cranny and grain of the universe: This concept is called 'the Eminance of Brahman'. 7. Rebirth: Atman 'ditches' one body and assumes another and shall continue to do so until unites with Brahman. 8. Karma: the result of deeds, carried on by Atman from one Birth to another. 9. Maya: The reason why Atman has trouble recognizing Brahman. 10. Moksha/Mukthi: Liberation. A direct result of Yoga/Sadhana/Bhakthi or Nyana. 11. Swadharma: Swa=Mine. Dharma=Way of life. 'My way of life' means the ability to customize mode/form of life which will lead to moksha/mukti. Cannot be prescriptive insead highly customizable by you. SOME HINDU THOUGHT AND PHILOSOPHY - COMPARED 1. Man (includes women) is NOT a sinner. The 'Hindu Good News' is that man is pure. 2. Liberation is NOT salvation: Salvation pre-supposes a condition of being sinful. Liberation pre-supposes a condition of purity. 3. Atman is present in every living being and soul is present only in man (includes woman). 4. Atman can be reborn. Soul cant. It goes to heaven or hell and embracing the "proponent" of the religion makes the difference. 5. Heaven is a place where the soul is a guest in the kingdom of god. Liberation is when Atman merges with Brahman. DIFFERENT SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT ON ATMAN AND RELATIONSHIP WITH BRAHMAN: 1. Dvaitam: Duality. Believes that 'Creator' and 'Creation' are distinct entities. 2. Advaitam: Non-Duality: Believes that 'Creator' and 'Creation' are one and the same thing. 3. Vishishta-Advaitham: Qualified Non-Duality: Believes that 'Creator' and 'Creation' are one and the same thing. But you need an 'initiator' to help you reach divinity and this is the role of the 'Matha'(centre of learning) and the 'mathadipathi'(pontiff). SOME KEY ASPECTS TO HINDU PHILOSOPHY: 1. Parama-arthika: The divine realm. 2. Vyavaharika: The practical realm. Both of them are equally important. It is important to progress in both. Hence, scientific progress is the vehicle through which man discovers God. Hence, under the hindu faith, science has never been and is not at odds with religion. 3. Non-History centricism: As Hindu, One can experience the 'divinity project' without having to believe in historic incidents such as the mahabharatha or the ramayana. Infact, Hindus arent at all bound by their history. HINDU PLURALISM VS WESTERN SECULARISM Hindu Pluralism: 'You' are as right as 'I' am about god and we BOTH are equally valid paths to god. Most people think Hindus are polytheists. They are NOT. They are ALL worshipping 'Brahman" but pluralism accomodated every perspective into the mainstream. Western Secularism: 'I' dont think 'you' are equally right. Infact, I think you are wrong. But I "tolerate" your presence. KEY SANSKRIT NON-TRANSLATABLES ATMAN IS NOT EQUAL TO SOUL. Atman is pure. Soul is not. MOKSHA/MUKTHI IS NOT EQUAL TO SALVATION: Moksha is liberation from maya. Salvation pre-supposes a condition of sin. BRAHMAN IS NOT EQUAL TO GOD: Brahman is present in every nook and cranny while god is mainly an exterior being. Similarly..... SHAKTHI IS NOT EQUAL TO POWER AGNI IS NOT EQUAL TO FIRE PRANA IS NOT EQUAL TO LIFE VARNA IS NOT EQUAL TO CASTE Sanskrit cannot be so easily translated as there are very many non-translatables (roughly 100) which if translated, lend a whole other meaning to the text, hence watering down the essence. Hence, learning the bhagavad gita or upanishads or the vedas in any language other than sanskrit leads to totally misunderstanding them.

Mustang 1981 Obviously you are a fan of Rajiv, right??👍🏻. Sorry, Slight differences in your view about Atman merging with Brahman. No merging here. Ignorance is superimposed on Jeevatma, when ignorance is removed by knowledge , Vidya, the realisation occurs that Atman and Brahman is one and same. Merging implies two! Aham Atman Brahman, Aham Brahmasmi. There are no two. All here is Brahman Isha Vasyam itham sarvam!

i am very thanks full the effort made by Akanksha and team i never ever seen so beautifully documentary till now in my life its reach my mind and soul "You are a powerful, unlimited and eternal soul who is here to enjoy the experience of creativity and contribute to humanity's evolution."

Thank you Akanksha Joshi and all others who contributed in making this video, this beautiful creation, possible and available. The influence of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan (whom you have dutifully referenced) is unmistakable, particularly "Sourcebook of Indian Philosophy".

***** "The unquestionable content of the experience is that about which nothing more can be said. Indian scriptures give cases of teachers who dispelled the doubts of their pupils by assuming an attitude of silence on this question. When we hear enthusiastic descriptions about the ultimate reality, let us remember the dictum of Lao Tze that he who knows the Tao way may be recognised by the fact that he is reluctant to speak about it."..."God is too great for words to explain. He is like light, making things luminous, but himself invisible. And yet cannot afford to be absolutely silent. Though the tools of sense and understanding cannot describe adequately, creative imagination with its symbols and suggestions may be of assistance. The profoundest wisdom of the past is transmitted to us in the form of myths and metaphors which do not have any fixed meaning and therefore can be interpreted as life requires"...."If experience is the soul of religion, expression is the body through which it fulfils its destiny". [All excerpts from "A sourcebook of Indian philosophy" - Dr S Radhakrishnan, Charles.A.Moore]. Thanks again, to all at Hindu Nectar and to you specifically for having devoted two years of your life in generating such a beautiful expression.

Great summarisation of subtle aspects of Sanatan Dharma. Vivid description and calming pictureisation ensured that I view it without a break. Good combination of saguna upasaka and transcendent Nirguna upasaka explanation. Great wor

Beautifully Narrated!! Om Shanti

God or Bhagwan has no religion no boundaries no form it is the true nature of every being and experiencing this is what known as Sanatan dharma or hinduism. The only way to get rid of all your miseries all your pain and become the one which is what every one is search for.

Sloka at 9:25 is from Bhagavad Gita Chapter 5 and verse 20

Excellent documentary !!!! Inspirational......I was so emotional and it touched my heart. well done...!!!

Their is beauty in the air of india.

I usually don't comment much - this is a beautiful and amazing documentary. Well done Akansha - there needs to be more such as this. 😊

Thank you for the beautiful scenes and sounds. I live far away from India, but when, on my walks, I see a tree, I pause under it and sing the following Tree Prayer and then the locus under the tree becomes India for me: धत्ते भरं कुसुमपत्र फलावलीनां घर्मव्यथां वहति शीतभवां रुजां च / यो देहमर्पयति चाऽन्य सुखस्य हेतोः तस्मै वदान्यगुरवे तरवे नमस्ते // dhattē bharaṁ kusumapatra phalāvalīnāṁ gharmavyathāṁ vahati śītabhavāṁ rujāṁ ca / yō dēhamarpayati cā’nya sukhasya hētōḥ tasmai vadānyaguravē taravē namastē // I bow my head in respect to you, O, Tree! You are my guru In how you generously bear the weight of leaves and flowers and fruits For the sake of others, In how you bear the hardship of the summer heat And the pains of the winter afflictions, For the sake of others, And in how you offer your body and life at the end For the well-being of others. Jagannaatha Pandita (India, 15th Century C.E.)

dhanyawad behen.... this is one of the material what I am searching for. Your work is helping the confused people like us to focus on the ultimate goal of life. After watching this, lots of questions and thoughts are coming in my mind. Perhaps I could share with you! Namaste.

This is truly an eye and heart opener. It has more intense impact on me as many many satsangs. I am very very grateful and bow. Namaste🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Beautiful video - thanks! Namaste!

beautifully explained,not the first time viewing and each time watching its still will learn something new from it, its a endless video journey

very nice video, I hope we present Indians attain the position so that when the ancient Indians look at us , they may feel proud rather than ashamed, let us be worthy of our heritage n be grateful to our ancestors who did severe penance n tapas in severe conditions so that their descendents may find it easy to attain unlimited freedom n peace .
