Devdutt Pattanaik decodes the Hanuman Chalisa and leadership approaches of Indira, Shiva and Vishnu

Devdutt Pattanaik discusses mythology, karma and his books “My Hanuman Chalisa” and “My Gita” with Shoma Chaudhury at Algebra, The Arts & Ideas Club, Gurgaon on 28-August 2017.
According to Devdutt Pattanaik, Ram is not a leader because he is not leading anyone anywhere. He also believes that the key characteristics of the Hanuman Chalisa are strength and wisdom, which is what drives the iconography of Hanuman.
Pattanaik also feels that one cannot understand mythology without knowing physics and biology.
Devdutt Pattanaik is a writer and a revisionist of mythology in India. He constantly brings home how the Indian tradition is different from the West and the need for Indians to study their scriptures from their own perspective. He has authored numerous books including “My Hanuman Chalisa”, “My Gita”, and “Business Sutra: An Indian Approach to Management”. He is also known to incorporate myth into human resource management.

Would love to see My Quran from Mr Pattanaik

[@gopalrout4409]

Nothing against you bro , but I think you didn't understand his concept , there can be no 'my' quran , there can be only th Qur'an , because of the nature of it , in the biblical idea of Islam , Christianity and Judaism , the authority is absolute , and the rules are universal which forces you to be homogeneous with everyone else , and therefore their scriptures are not subjective in nature . But the Hindu/Buddhist/Jain beliefs are such that , they allow one's conscience and their principles are set in such that one can use them to overcome , hunger and fear of one's animalistic nature (as in humans without knowledge are animals) .

Closed minds

[@sajidashaikh131]

Her question was very valid. If people think , that everything is a consequence of past life ,then no one will fight any injustice. if every harm done to you, purposefully by someone, is thought of, as past life consequence, you will never fight any injustice. This will result in the privileged always being privileged, and oppressed being oppressed. It will become a tool for oppression. People revolted to injustice, and as a result the circumstances changed. Take India's example. When we were ruled by the British, if all our freedom fighters thought that our being ruled by them, is a result of our past actions, then no one would have fought for our freedom. And we would not have seen this light of independence.

[@Akshatha512]

I really appreciate this talk. Huge respect and thanks to the Mr. Pattanaik for decoding the Indian Mythology and taking us back to our original roots. In the same breath I would like to say that the hate that Ms. Chaudhury is receiving is misdirected. We agree that the British came and changed the education system and as Mr. Pattanaik says we have to be aware and accept the consequences instead of viciously attacking someone for it. A lot of our mythology was misinterpreted yes, but if we have no Ms. Chaudhury's to ask questions then there also no chance for Mr. Pattakanik's to answer and correct us. Mr Pattaknaik is reminding us again and again to not be judgmental and keep aside morality of right and wrong and look at the things just the way there are. A lot of us cleared our own doubts because this conversation happened. Putting down another person for their opinions which goes against our belief construct is exactly what Hinduism points to be wary of. I have been in your shoes and over the course of time very humbled and thankful to realize what Hinduism truly stands for by trying to practicing some of it and not just be swayed by pride of being a Hindu.

@@priyak3107 Priya behen, Sanatan dharm/ Hinduism may not be a mythology, it is based on Ramayan, Mahabharath, and Bhagwat geeta. Valmiki Ramayan narrates Sri Ram, in rage and revenge, murdered Ravan and Khumbhkaran, for Sita haran with the help of a monkey, Hanuman that failed to pluck out a Sanjivini bootie from dorangiri parvat, yet Hanuman brokeapart the parvat. LOl. Monkeys including Hanuman evolved with a tail and NO wings necessary to fly, still, the monkey, Hanuman is claimed to fly across Bharat carrying the Dorangiri parvat like a cargo airplane to light a fire with its flaming tail to Lanka to burn the inhabitants to deat for KATIL Ram.Only Valmiki saw a flying monkey across Bharat. Flying monkey is aeronautically FALSE and flaming tail is biologically ABSURD. Ramayan is a kalpanic katha even if Sri Ram was a son of Dashrath maharaj. Similarly, Krishna intervened in the mahabharath ydh to resolve the family feud between, the Pandavas against Kauravas. Even if the ydh happened Kauravas being 100 sons of blind dhritarashtra and Gandhari is statistically and biologically Jhoot, making Mahabharath a kalpanic katha. Bhagwat Geeta is believed to contain verbal discourse between Krishna and Arjun at the Mahabharath ydh, 5561 BCE. Both died without leaving any manuscript necessary to print. The earliest pringing of Bhagwat Geeta occurred in the 15th century, after many generation over a few centuries without the manuscript containing the verbal discourse between Arjun and Krishna. Bhagwat Geeta is FALSELY claims to contain Krishna's discourse with Arjun. Priya behen, Facts lrad to the truth and the truth is bitter. Only the truth shal set yo, priya behen, free.

Everyone has religious freedom which gives them the right to accept or reject religious idols. No one can force anyone to follow something just because it's dear to them. If you want your religious freedom to be respected you gotta respect others' too. Period.

[@piyushdas079]

@@NidzShah-ps6kr Let me put it this way, your freedom of expression stops at my nose. My religious freedom doesnt give me the right to insult others 'idols'. My religious freedom doesnt give me the right to comment on religious practices and customs of others. You might not respect Shri Hanuman ji...doesnt mean that you can waltz in and disrespect him. If you do there will be repercussions from those who respect Him. And if one wants to play the secular hindu card....then also one doesnt have the right to comment upon others religious beliefs. Or demean them. Hindus are passive so one can get away with it, Imagine saying that about muhammad or calling Jesus ianappropriately in a majority Islamic or Christian country...! Me thinks respect as far as sickular libtards are concerned stems from fear of repercussions , not a genuine interest in the high moral ground.

[@NidzShah-ps6kr]

@@piyushdas079 well, not knowing or being disinterested or being critical or agnostic of any religious idol does not equate to disrespecting them. The term "disrespect" - and the flimsy whataboutism that goes with it - is an easy resort of the obstinate ultra-right who can't stomach that your-way-is-not-the-highway and that there are many ways to understand something. Me thinks that the aforementioned obstinacy makes you want other people to respect your sentiments while you can plough straight through their rationality by the threat of repercussions. And "sikular libtards" (which, I must say are convenient choice words pulled out of a hat by supposedly passive folks) ain't lynching poor people or blowing themselves up on busses. (For all you know I could be a right-wing progressive). As far as criticising, the followers of the abrahamic faiths is concerned, I don't see their ultra-right being any less coo-coo. You make the mistake of thinking YOU have a moral high ground to THEM in the eyes of the "sikular libtards" you're flouting.

[@piyushdas079]

@@NidzShah-ps6kr Lady, if I dont know enough about a religion or a practice I would desist from discussing it. secondly . lynching isnt the prerogative of the ultra -right and since ultra right is as inventive as sickular liberals ..i think both stand on the same moral plate. The point I made is not about new fangled words, but the effectiveness of abrahmic religions in imposing an effective fear psychosis which prevents the so called 'rationals' from 'discussing' it. I have no idea which ideology you subscribe to, neither is it my business. I dont claim any high moral ground, neither do I cede the high moral ground to the sickular liberals. I am yet to see an open national debate on abrahmic practices which leads me to believe that the sickular liberal is just scared to touch upon Islam but is free to berate hindus ....which is convenient. The selective debate and disrespect only strengthens the view that Sickular liberals are just a bunch of snowflakes who have a very convenient moral goalpost.

to understand mythology, not as religion but as 'vocabulary' that can be applied to every aspect of both our outer and inner lives (1:30), is so liberating for those of us who grew up with literal, dogmatic and moralistic interpretations of ancient stories and symbols, that left little room for critically questioning, courageously challenging, and creatively re-interpreting ancient mythologies in relation to our own lived experiences, as people of different genders, cultures, classes and (so called) races. to understand any character in mythology one must approach it not only intellectually, but also emotionally and from a sensual and aesthetic angle... from an evolutionarily point of view, intellect is a defense mechanism we have created to cope with our emotions (8:15)

The reply given by Shri Patnaik to the 1st question of why Lord Hanuman is worshipped so much misses the point. The majority of the people look up to Hanuman to give them the strength and the confidence to live life. We all look for someone on whom we can rest our fears and lovingly think of them to derive confidence. It is not due to ignorance as the speaker says it. Many of the points in his narration/explanation are also not correct. Lord Hanuman isy, but a Vanara. Vanaras are another variation of human beings who existed in the times of Lord Rama. He is right in saying that we should look at this question not intellectually but with an emotional mindset. Great speech. These are my views.

[@amitprakash6316]

this anchor is rubbishly intellectual. these people like her simply defy knowingly.

[@samarthkumar94]

Algebra, please refrain from conducting sessions with anchors who don't stand on the podium with an open mind. It's very irritating watching her interrupt Devdutt. He was trying to base his argument on some premises, which she clearly didn't want to listen to. If she has a problem with Hindu ideologies, don't ask her to interview Hindu mythologists from now on.

[@niveditamurthy1845]

She is probably more of an interviewee and not an interviewer... maybe this experience helped her realize that too...

[@priankbhat]

Excellent explanation of the Hindu narrative!!!

[@orko8962]

As said by devdut in this video, never judge a person with your limited knowledge. Same goes with me too :-) as I too have not read the hindu scripture. So, I now know what is my Karma (action=read and understand scriptures) in order to comment/judge a person's works.

The moderator (talking about sewage worker) should know. () Everyone carries in their prized proud possession of physical body, the original sewage system which is the source of the city sewage drainage system, which is maintained in good repairs by sewage workers.

[@deva8496]

Someone should write "My jesus" and "My mohammad" so people will know how flawed "my" interpretations can go if you just put your interpretations are totally disconnected with the source

[@suvodipmondal7625]

That's your assumption!

[@ashwinvk4124]

There are many books which have people's interpretation of Jesus.

[@sandeeps8022]

What i don’t understand is how in the hell only Hindu gods are myth and all other have video proof that they existed.

[@arnabsom3251]

cuz hinduism is the oldest religion. The last remnant of ancient Hinduism is the proof ( i.e.in the Indus valley civilization) which is about 2000 years older than the birth of Jesus Christ. And there too we can only find the proof of worshippers (Shiv linga) So say Ramayana supposedly happened 5000 years before that and according to shiv purana, Shiva existed around 12000 years before that. But Scientist says that humans didn't exist at that time. , So no one knows about the origin of Hinduism.And there are 300 million gods and godessess

[@daa577]

Discussing hanumanjji with the label of glenlivet in the background....but hanumanji still has his blessings over all...that’s why we love hanumanji...

[@bratinranjanroy3493]

So , according to him Indian puranas and Itihasas are all imaginations . No wonder why dumb self proclaimed intellectuals love him so much. I have no problem with this man or his interpretations but he needs to sit and talk with other saints and well read or realized persons of the country. We believe knowledge or interpretation skills should be appreciated but only if it is verified , testified and challenged. It won't happen if devdutt continues to waste time giving interviews to idiotic people . He is too focused on fame and money and that's why he is content with dumb Bollywood bimbos appreciating him and some self proclaimed liberals calling him for interviews . He is wasting his talent . I am not saying that he is the most intelligent person in the country but he could still contribute to the field of knowledge and interpretation of ancient Indian scriptures much more than what he is currently doing trying to cater to a particular elite group of people. And this group of people have actually no interest in the Indian traditions . They just show off because suddenly they realised that there is a new found awareness about the ancient Indian culture and traditions recently which they never thought will ever happen. So , they are trying desperately to fit into the narrative somewhere because they can see before their eyes the changing trends , the shifting balances . He will do more disservice to our culture if he continues to give too much importance to this elite group of vultures.

Stop calling the reality myth. Ramayan is no myth.

[@vinamrasinghai7319]

You can always prove it.

[@orko8962]

Archelogical (dwarka city/ram setu), historical/mathematical (time taken to travel from ayodhya to rameshwaram/tip of south india = 21 days by foot matching with today's google maps) records suggest Ramanyan or Mahabharata being a reality 10000 years back and this cycle of creation and destruction is part of the karmic cycle. We are on the ascending curve from destruction to creation in the current time and such hinduism concepts will play a major catalyst in showing the world the right direction, leaving the choice to them (no force).

According to me journalist desperately want to show their intellect power,may be for the dominance in their professional carrier or their ideology.It is the reality of most of the Journalist.

[@MrSarosham]

Haaaaa... Its really interesting to see how people defend and define the faith they are born in. Every human is emmotional with everything which he got without his choice... Name, parents, country and religion. So. The question is... What is the real truth..... The answer is..... NO ONE Knows but everyone think.. HE KNOWS

[@piyushsonone7]

But Nonliving things also have hunger for example salt NaCl means sodium and Chloride two different elements. when Sodium chloride is formed when sodium atoms interact with chlorine atoms. When this occurs, sodium will donate an electron (which is a negatively-charged particle) to chlorine. This makes sodium slightly positive and chlorine slightly negative. ... So chlorine complete it's octane . don't you think this is a hunger of chlorine.

[@nagarajabillurrao]

where is the conscious desire for one to have a relation with the other? Emotion.

[@vinamrasinghai7319]

No sodium will not die if it doesnt get Chloride.

[@DjB83]

Don't be too harsh on the host. She was just doing her duty. Devdutt was imperial.

[@umasarat2983]

Without depravation, opportunity is missed to extend ones positive Karmas! If all are equal and previlleged, where is the need for compassion or charity!? So, inequality is also a reality that brings the question of - to be Indra, Vishnu or Shiva in one's own reaction!

I'm watching this 4 years late.. and it's really sad that people are still questioning Sanatan Dharma as a contradiction between Theory and practical.. Ultimately the world is one stage.. and faith acts as a tool to clear out anxiety when you get stage fright.. I mean why are people still not moving on..
