Gandhi was and is not a mahatma. He totally misinterpreted the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita. .Shri Bhagavan Krishna did not preach Ahimsa on a battlefield of all places. He said do your duty selflessly and so on. Shri Krishna is not "mythological character". Shrimad Ramayanam and Shrimad Mahabharata are histories. Thank you Alan Watts sir for his wonderful explanations. 🙏🕉🙏

[@satyadasgumbyji8956]

I agree it's historical fact & i agree it explicitly allows for righteous violence, but Gandhi was definitely a Bhakti Yogi, which is the heart of the Bhagavad Gita!!! Unlike Krishna's ultimate & final teaching, The Udhhava Gita, which centers around Jnani Yoga. As far as his title as "mahatma", it generally means great soul. I do believe liberating India from British rule absolutely qualifies him as such! ✌️🌎❤️

[@NobleVagabond2552]

If you may or may not have actually existed but we don’t really know because it was 2000+ fucking years ago then you might as well be a mythological figure. You could have historically existed and none of the stories about you are actually true. Who knows because that shit was so damn long ago. But none of that matters if the message is good enough. But taking offense to it is just comical especially when the person offending you has been dead for 50 years as well

[@user-ve8zm6fs4y]

That's true, but Arjuna's duty was to fight in the war, he was in that situation. Gandhi's duty was to end the cycle of revenge and hate, which was only possible through non-violence. Why do people in the middle east have so much hate? Why does Japan doesn't have much resentments about USA bombing with nuclear weapons and ending the war. It comes with acceptance. Gandhi had a higher vision which he did his utmost duty to fulfill with conviction. And he has fulfilled it. The only country that got independence through non-violence, seems like not many people can comprehend it.

And the duty for a ksatriya is not non-violence.

No one could understand That Gandhi was a libra and Linda goodman says that Libran Commander may not like violence but he sure will lead such a way yhst war is won👍🙏

[@Perceval777]

Very interesting insight into the concept of rebirth in Sanatana Dharma, I thought it meant an individual being reborn again in a new body and with no memory of the past lives, but still as that same individual. Now thanks to Watts I know it actually means going back to the "nothingness" of Brahman and then being born again as "new life" from that state. So, actually it's not the individual who's reborn.

[@freddykrueger8759]

Ghandi was great, he did not want India😢 divided

[@stevenotte3447]

Unmotivated by fear is a motivation. When letting it flow, wu wei, so to speak, is there no motivation but for the lifeforce to carry on or not ? Though, how about the motivation of gained resources for the victor of violence. Was the krishna actually spouting hierarchical principles to cover his own bases as the writer does when allowing for relinquishment of subjective authority over violence's motivation. There is a sense of reasoning that the krishna follows, which reminds me of microbiological battles going on in the body, which primarily follow survival patterns. We, as conscious beings, are able to judge the ramifications of violent acts, in our modern age, to be without sane merit nor psychologically evolved. So why waste the time, money-tranfer, and blood ? Ancient scripture throughout the world contains deep wisdom for us as a species to discern ways of surviving without killing one another ritualistically by club, arrow, sword, cannon, bullet, missile, virus, starvation, accentuated climate degradation, deregulated ai, and or one of the many many deranged psychopathic politician's fingers on the many Nuclear-Buttons ! Let's get real, United Nations ! Puppets and Puppeteers is old business, step up, and take the reigns while there is time...

So greatful to have Sadhguru's take on this. Very different from Allan's view of 'acting without motives' or beeing 'detached' from the fruit wich makes no sense. Krishna was involved, not detached ❤

[@Atomic419]

Sadhguru never read the Gita and so his opinions about it should be dismissed.

[@ecoconatus8089]

@@Atomic419 Try both : beeing 'detachted' or what Sadhguru shares : 100% involved every moment, you desire to win (desire = God) but if you lose in the end you know it was just a game. In other words, when you act there's no hesitation and you don't act only for the fruit of the actions. You know how to be first, than act intensly. Please experiment with both and tell me which one works for you

[@matthewrideout4124]

​@@ecoconatus8089We should love God im hopeless without God

[@nickseth17]

You are looking at Krishna who is in form of his original energy. You have to look at Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and see how he was involved in his life while having his attachments directed to krishna. Music and dance to please him. All things to please him void you of the reaction from the action. That is the true way

[@nickseth17]

Mahaprabhu is krsna in mood of radhe. He shows us how to live in kaliyuga by taking his association with his name and annoying offenses

though cheap is the incorrect word .. i suspect you meant less learned or less knowledgeable or educationally opportuned. not everyone has access to learning and language and any judges in the audience should to be wiser in understanding that fact or should refrain from negative comment simply out of "knowing" better.

you can mute those and rewind and hear the entire without interruption. or pay for a youtube membership with no commercials. he's worth it. back in the 70s I wanted to purchase his recordings .. but I couldn't afford them. It's time for his second coming and no one should complain that they have to listen to a twenty second ad. Sorry to say but ... what the heck. You don't have "time" to spend waiting for something like this? Well... then pay for the youtube subscription. he's worth every second of it.. fk the excuse of capitalism.

To Christians everything that isn’t the Bible is automatically satanic because you’re close minded, dogmatic, ignorant and above all without compassion. It is possible to accept Jesus while also seeing the value in other aspects of God’s creation.
