Fun fact: The author of Mahabharata, one of the most important epics in Hinduism, was born to a fisherwoman. So the caste system was not as rigid as it became later especially after the 10th century. Good thing is that the caste system is regressing now with affirmative action from government. It still has a long way to go to be completely eliminated from the society but it is not as severe or rigid as it used to be several decades back.

Mike Berg no...as much as I like to shit on Nehru for his idiotic policies and the diplomatic/military failure with China, he did not actively push for caste based divisions. He also did two things pretty good. One was establishing and maintaining a stable democracy for 15 years and the second was pushing forth education and industrialization of public sector. Although his approach was stupid. But you have to remember that Socialism was yet to blow up at that point. This is the 1950s we are talking about when USSR was reaching its peak of power under Stalin's socialism. And Nehru was not a "white" Indian. He upheld western ideas because they were and still are the best in most cases. Indian philosophies had stagnated ever since late 17th century when India was under constant wars between different kingdoms.

Ramanyana was written by a reformed Dacoit, Shivratri fast was initiated by a low born hunter. Dashratha's widows, Stayavati, etc didn't had to burn themselves at their husband's funeral pyre .

I went to a sivananda ashram, it's the happiest I've ever been. It's serious and regimented but you really can become a yogi, continuing practice in normal everyday life and get on your way to living your best life. It's done through a combination of selfless service (good action to everyone without judgment), transcendental meditation, and chanting /singing /praying. If you're going to a country where they have the ashram then go. India, Vietnam, Austria, California

I know guru. Whenever the Amiga crashed, I saw one. There were yellow gurus who could go back to the OS. And there were red gurus then there was a restart.

As with the by-now many of your videos I have watched; I found this one to be both interesting and topical. I do have some knowledge of Asian religio-philosophical belief systems, having studied several during my lifetime. I greatly enjoy your presentation style and deeply appreciate the research you put in to the many topics your various videos cover. From one Scholar to another: "I Salute You." Blessed-Be Hilbert, Uyraell.

It means teacher (of the sort that teaches at schools, can unionise, etc)in Indonesia so...well, the first few seconds turned out a bit underwhelming. (of course that doesn't mean I know everything about the words so the video improved a huge lot in subsequent seconds for me :)

Sanskrit isn't the oldest still spoken language in the world, it's the oldest still written language in the world. Or more precisely the oldest still used writing system in the world.

Sathguru is like the Hermit Monks in the West. They would live in caves or forests alone, meditating. Gurus would be more like Catholic priests, who up until the 11th century, were still allowed to be married and have families

Sanskrit is a dead language. Some people can still speak it, it's used as the main Hindu liturgical language, but it's a lot like how Latin or ancient Greek are used by Europeans. Nobody actually still speaks it as their first language.

@Criminology 101 so it's been resurrected a bit like Hebrew?

Pain is unavoidable, its part of being human. Suffering however, is avoidable. Suffering= pain x resistance.

A big inaccuracy, caste system got rigid post 700 ad, and during the advent of british colonialism, it was solidified by the british codifying the population, not the same but somewhat like what happened with jews in germany during the second world war. Now the caste system is going back to its ancient roots, and that system is not rigid, your caste( a negetive term introduced by britishers) was essentially what your career was. And anyone could move, however it was not uncommon for people to carry out their traditional careers, hence keeping the family skill and knowledge intact.

Still spoken? It's a liturgical language like Latin or Hebrew. It's still recited for certain purposes, but you can't ask for the train station in Sanskrit or talk about current affairs with people in the language.

Everything's relative lmao Naw but it's kind of weird how he used "Eastern religions" synonymously with Indian religions, since Tengriism is just as much of an "Eastern religion" as any of those rooted in Hinduism or Buddhism. Religions like Christianity and Islam could be considered either, depending on where the line is drawn. In my college Western Civ class, everything west of Afghanistan was defined as "Western", so by that definition, all of the Abrahamic religions are "Western".

The word guru is formed by gu, meaning 'ignorance' and ru, referring to 'the remover', to denote 'one who removes ignorance'. Sanskrit word Guru is more than a Teacher

Do you know who is a Guru??

Hilbert, I don't think you'd find it . I believe my grandparents said, according to early Vedas and Upanishads, all varnas (or castes) could exist in a single family. It was based on occupation Also many of the prominent rituals,festivals and Poojas were started by low born. In fact both Ramayana and Mahabharata were written by a reformed Dacoit and a fisherwoman's bastard respectively. My point is , a lot of corruption made more damage to the system than intended by the texts . Also there were female scholars and ascetics , particularlyand women quoted left and right ,so maybe it wasn't meant to ve rigid ,but you know human greed and will to segregate

Guru is just a fancy word for know it all they think they know it all cuz they are a guru and they live in the Himalayan mountains which that gives them spiritual qualities that one may possess to tell others what to do and also it gives them the ability to write a big long sentence that doesn't make sense so if you want to know what a guru is just read this backwards and shot la la la la
