I am South African. I read the mythologies to my kids in the story forms. Now we are all revisiting the scriptures. I managed to get a voluminous, comprehensive Shrimad Bhagavatam which my engineering student son and myself are reading together every evening. My medical student daughter reads verses from the Ramayan and Gita everyday. If we can do it so can anyone else.

[@sundareshanal1849]

Dushyant Sridhar , What a Soul . We are blessed .. Absolutely scintillating.

[@Sudhamayi]

Dushyanth 's speech outstanding.,👌👍

[@MrSsstk]

Rightly Said…. We require highly knowledgeable persons like Sri. Dushyant to take the importance of our Hindu dharma and sanadhana to the nook and corners of this world 🙏🙏

[@skk7617]

What dushyanth sridhar said, that makes sense. We have to elevate audirence to that level.

[@vasanthkrishna7809]

The modern day life will always make people question can't we learn things in short and digest ? But for a living people learn to prepare resume, spoken English, Social Media, Dressing Styles etc...spend hours in office where lot goes away in politics, gossiping....when all those time are accounted for then one would realise how much time in life is lost in mundane things.

[@vinayakdalvi6980]

I am requesting to the earth channel that they are bringing nice nice thoughts that India can grow very well but I am requesting one thing please give the language option because I cannot understand English I am local Marathi Manus I can't understand English mein request is please give language option to your channel thanks a lot to bring wealth speaker on your channel

[@shantik8028]

[@vagaboundHarish]

Amazing!

[@TheB657]

25:42 - Those living in the mundane world should have the drive to learn. If they don't wish to learn who can compel them ? Now there are people like Kushal Mehra whom sit with Abhijit iyer mitras to disprove the Itihaasas ! *Yes they did it. They tried to prove with presentation that there were "no horses" within the Indian subcontinent in the B.C.Es and only along the steppes of Central Asia (which is true) and thus Mahabharata is false in stating Akshauhinis of horses were present at the battlefield......... Now here's the catch. They know that the Central Asian steppes was called Uttara Kuru and all the way north till Siberia was under the dominion or influence of Bharat. Could not the kingdoms of Gandhara, Kekaya etc. provide millions of horses for the war ???!!!* Now if such people like this Mehra exist and his flawed logic is hailed then who can attempt to change it ??? He even stated that Indra is a rapist taking the account of a foreign author. It is these types of bigots whom are the problem for spreading of the scriptures. These people and their progeny will follow them ? Then how can India become fully cultural ? Ask yourselves this question. I have nothing personal against Mr. Mehra or Mr. Mitra but the "I know everything" attitude will only ruin the fundamentals of Sanatana Dharma which is seeking. Jai SiyaaRam Jai Anjaneya 🙏🕉

[@vaniganapathi830]

I agree with you . I have seen Mr.Mehra ridiculing our Jugaad practice saying something in the context of ' there is still a society which considers highly of Jugaad'. I differ with him on that. Jugaad shows the creativity, individual innovation of our Indian minds. Only thing is due to bad politics we don't have enough monetary channels, platforms, institutions to make it a scientific innovation and market it. See China does the same thing and produces cheap goods. Look at all the Chinese toys, there will be some form of tinkering or Jugaad done and produced at lower prices. It is just lack of Infra in our country due to previous govts. But people like Mehra and others in one of his podcasts looked down upon that and were speaking low of such practices in India. This we call in Tamil as அதிமேதாவித்தனம்.

[@TheB657]

​@@vaniganapathi830 True. You are very correct. As an engineer myself, jugaad is actually a very innovative practice. It is through this 'jugaad' that TERLS flourished as a startup and then to become ISRO which is now a major recognized Space Organization in the world. So called 'Indian Jugaad' has led to development of "Low Cost Rocket Launching initiatives" and to make engines with new technology at low cost. The cryogenic technology would have developed early on had not it been the intrigue by insecure nations of the U.S, France and Russia we would have been leading the race in Space exploration. Still ISRO has not died down but continues to expand it's horizons. In my alma mater we had a club called Creative Labs where we designed complex systems using jugaad leading to low cost efficient systems. Even abroad I have worked in startups where primarily engineering is based on approximation and trials and errors. These so called 'geniuses' perhaps don't even have an idea on the process of design and development hence their talks can only be taken at face value. வாழ்க வளமுடன் 🙏

[@rks2366]

Thank Aarth team for elite discussion on these types issue. Awesome panel, very interesting and quantitative informative. 🙏

[@greenworldassociation78]

Wow!

[@ShankarBShetty]

The challenge is how to create that Vismaya in today's generations!

[@ad.satyamp.behera7181]

Brother , It is already happening .. That's why, we are watching.. If we just tells those things to just one of our friends ... It will happen soon ... I think , there is a lot of ytbers making that type of videos ..

[@dalitnahipehlehinduhu6569]

It's happening..parents should also teach their children about dharma and his identity

[@HAHA-ix9vx]

​@@ad.satyamp.behera7181 yes it's happening and Just like u said' it's our responsibility too to teach our friends and family ". After watching videos about our own culture, we should make our family and friends watch it and talk about it. Atleast that we can do on a individual level. Even if everyone who watched on KZbin start talking with their family,it will have a huge affects!! And teach everyone about Dharma!! We can't be dependent on government or anyone. Be dependent on yourself and friend's and family ( parents, siblings, cousin, relatives)

[@dhivyamohan]

Parents should learn first, bring the culture at home. Then things will start to role

[@priyasundar8213]

@@dhivyamohan hence the saying 'catch them young'

[@mallianumula]

Good discussion

[@kunalthorat3136]

Ami ji's golden smile ❤

[@arunsrinivasiyengar2759]

I agree with Ami on the short form that creates vismaya.

[@VijaySharma-it7ep]

Thanks Arth for the one of the finest discussion on ours epics.

[@raghushalajjt]

stop being defeatist about our granths. young generation is very much interested in them. believe me as a tutor for UPSC exams who comes across 500 youngsters each year. we have not been able to take the granths to them, they are very much interested

[@KanchanaManyam]

little knowledge is dangerous.. so once u taste the beauty of our scriptures.. u will seek more... and our knowledge will grow.. jsut that we need to reach out to more people and fast enough.. we have lost muchtime - thru a poor education system , wrong narratives and so on

[@sancti3707]

Why does Raaghavji say ramaayaN for RaamaayaNa? Persianized and anglicized sanskrit? Even hindi speakers don't say ramaa (which is a name of Sri Lakshmi) when they mean Raama! The epic is named after Raamaavataar and not Ramaavataar!

[@sancti3707]

Saiswaroopaji is speaking for her generation when she says Indian children dont need introduction to RaamaayaNa etc. Modern kids don't even know who Shri Raama was!

[@premchandramachandran1631]

How come one person only half dressed ( with half pants )is allowed on the dais. Is there no decorum. Probably that fellow wants to show off his physique but he does not have that. Although the speeches were very interesting and educative, yet cant help noticing this fellows half dress.

[@arunsrinivasiyengar2759]

Why does Dushyant call Kushal as Tushar 😃

[@variablex6928]

Ami ganatra made some good points. She needs to reduce the screechiness of her voice. It literally hurt

[@sqishyminecraftpotato7999]

Missing Nityhyanand Mishra in this already great Panel :)

[@tattvabodhaka6140]

Kushal toh Tushar hogaya😂

[@jayagunalentirumalai9627]

I think next time you guys should state in big bold capital letters about the dress code as some confused individuals might even feel OK to come in briefs and sit on the stage that too as a guest speaker on religious and cultural topics. Wonder why the organisers are so naive and / or gutless that they were unable to tell off that guy. What kind of examples is he trying to convey to the audience... that too young audiences...

[@priyasundar8213]

Yes ma'am ,I totally agree with u,i too felt the same👍

[@sarbajitroy9614]

Why raghav ji showing his legs

[@aparnaram147]

He is an idiot ...does not know what to wear on which occasion..arrogant and casual....why do these people talk about scriptures

[@mayajagannathan130]

Who is this person in shorts coming for a talk on scriptures?? Is this Raghav Awasthi, then i pity his awastha ,state, if needing to keep his legs in a difficult postion to maintain decorum!!!

[@verylowendgamers7426]

We dont Mahabharata or Ramayana today cause Bollywood or any other Indian industry can not secularize it. As simple as that. We are obsessed with PC, and its not just bollywood, its with every singlr wood we have in this country. And we can not use Ramayana or Mahabharata to abuse Hindu in any way or possible, so what is the point, you tell me? Damn, if Ram left dharma and became a Maulana that would be really great. /s

[@kongurailwaygrowthcouncil3306]

@RaghavAwasthi is TOTAL WASTE & Time pass fellow is unfit to be a "#RESOURCE_PERSON"
