Hats off to Sanal Edamaruku for spreading the truth. It takes real courage to do what he does. Hope I can be like him one day.

[@BlazingTiger5000]

[@globetravellerspvtltd6725]

[@apinakapina]

Really interesting. Sad to hear that the situation is that bad, but keep up the fight!

[@danielposavec7215]

Amazing man!

It seems our friend here doesn't understand that KZbin by default automatically sends emails when someone responds to your KZbin comment. ArySamaj23567: go to your KZbin account settings, section email and disable the email notifications if you don't want them!

[@ExTechOp]

The email messages you are receiving (I assume this is what you mean by "inbox") are due to your own account settings, it isn't anything that we do. Go to your KZbin account settings, section email and disable the email notifications if you don't want them!

[@yusufahmed3796]

Great work Mr.Edamaruku. Can any one know how to get in touch with him?

[@shivan5547]

Great work Sanal.

[@rafikuwait7679]

sanal. good job. .. ☆☆☆☆☆ wishes. ..♡♡♡♡

[@snehalt.channel992]

Salute 2 u *SANAL* sir

[@anupa1090]

Sanal edamaruku have u ever talked with sathya Sai baba in person

[@antoniarotger2899]

good and important topic. and very well explained. I still remember the "milk miracle" well, even my sciency-friends were inclined to take it for real.That is scaring, that these tricks are working.

[@SAsgarters]

What part of your post has anything to do with what I wrote?

[@shweta4056]

I proud of u

[@moldexpro]

The problem is with religion. Superstitious belief and religion are intertwined and you cannot separate the two. Religious belief leads to an irrational view of the world. The Soviets understood that very well, but you cannot control people's thoughts and many are gullible unfortunately.

[@SAsgarters]

Do you have a source for that claim?

[@ibydiyamiya]

Salutes sir!

[@SAsgarters]

Well, that's a relief. If you had doubt that I am human, that would probably be bad. But since you doubt that I'm not human, that's great.

[@kamilym5187]

Very good speech.

[@SAsgarters]

"Urine therapy" You know it's a scam, right?

[@charliecamp8241]

sanal edamarku in my opinion you are working great.

[@SAsgarters]

How do you know that? Can you prove it?

[@arcanuslosanara2823]

Skepticism is the only non-spiritual attitude that leads to enlightenment.

[@SAsgarters]

What means?

[@JUSTTRANSCEND]

Is Sanal still exiled?

[@SAsgarters]

What's your point?

[@udaythazhoor]

you are great

[@SAsgarters]

You'd think it would have banned it, but unfortunately, governments are rarely rational. Got a source for those figures?

[@sumeetghai8867]

Well they but want to promote rationality as this would lwqd to shift in equilibrium and all these power hungery people will loose their dominance

[@the_explorer247]

Great great great man .

[@SAsgarters]

I'm not messaging you, you're messaging me.

[@SAsgarters]

Even assuming that he only wants attention, what bearing does that have on what he's saying? He has demonstrated that he knows what he's talking about, unlike his critics.

[@SAsgarters]

If they are getting better and it's not just a coincidence, or caused by something else that they're doing or have stopped doing. Unfortunately, these things more often than not turn out to be complete scams.

[@Aqueela1]

The fact that such ignorance is still around in 2013 is embarrassing. It is time for such nonsense to be relegated to history.

[@highondope8037]

Why haven't you covered your muslim maulvis and Benny Hinn in this program?

[@robinsonelias6959]

nice sir

[@rahulcart]

It is. Listen to the part about Ramdev.

[@SAsgarters]

Why are you so desperate to get the last word? Weren't you leaving anyway?

[@giannivigilante3711]

Apri il mio cuore fratello, prendi quello che ti serve, ma poi donalo agli altri. Open my heart brother, take what you need, but then gives it to others.

[@alphinantony9689]

This is what I say, India is country in which everything is going different,but normal....

[@SAsgarters]

I need a source, because that's how you find out the truth. So, answer the question. Certainly, some herbs do have medicinal properties. Which herbs they are and whether they are used properly, is a different matter. The question is what evidence there is for "curing disease with help of Ayurveda & Yoga". Even if some herbs have medicinal properties and herbs are used in Ayurveda, that does not lend credence to the system as a whole, which encompasses more than just the use of herbs.

[@Aqueela1]

Sathya Sai Baba was a major step backwards for India and people from elsewhere in the world.

[@SAsgarters]

"Even they gave me Ayurvedic medicine." Then they're incompetent.

[@SAsgarters]

Cataract surgery does not demonstrate that Ayurveda is based on scientific principles, nor am I convinced that there is any scientific basis to Ayurveda.

[@SAsgarters]

So they don't make the news.

[@SAsgarters]

I don't have a clue what you're ranting about now, but from the looks of it, it has nothing to do with what we've been discussing.

[@albertosapiens1]

This video is talking about Sri Sri Ravi Shankar so will be copiright claimed by The Art Of Living TV Team and deleted in 3.. 2..1..

[@SAsgarters]

It's not an Indian video.

[@pionytudr]

Even if it is business, it is not a bad business when thousands of people around us are getting treated doing those exercises. I know many live examples. Much better than the other corrupt businesses.

[@sumeetghai8867]

No one get xured they just get a placebo and get back to even worse than before

[@saviostephen3569]

Surprised to see so less views

[@nacashok]

Nobody forces people to flock to these Godmen. People go of their own accord. Sanal, is it fair to paint all these people with the same brush?

[@sumeetghai8867]

Yes because they are taking advantage of gullibility harminf scientific temperament and creating a false sense of optimism which isn't more than a placebi effect minting millions

[@SAsgarters]

You are there. ^

[@marcusaureliusfanboy]

19:44 I think this is not true any more. I certainly remember seeing this man on 9pm prime time news debunking myths/superstitions in late 2000s. I dont anymore and I dont think any tv channel will dare to do this now.

[@ExTechOp]

rahulcart, but as you yourself note, Sanal's argument isn't about excercise claims.

[@excellentacademy.onlinecoa747]

Give me answer Mr. Sanal ,are you ready for some black magic experiences which could be disgusting ??? if you are ready then reply yes. ..if u not then. ...understand.

[@shribalaji1718]

in 100% devotee. 99% people gets disappointed and move on but 1% makes it a big fuss and make them God

[@hoorihooran7371]

👍👍👍

[@venkateshkannan5]

amma had built many houses for sunami victems

[@SAsgarters]

Now that I can safely call a lie.

[@SAsgarters]

You are there. I have just proven you. :P

[@shribalaji1718]

thanks but..actually we have to make our own reaserch .. man can be corrupted but idea cannot be.

[@theAraAra]

It may certainly have benefits, but we're better off with the new age supernatural stuff that often goes with it. I mean, if its really that effective, why do you need to cloth it in a veneer of mysticism?

[@SAsgarters]

I think you need to do a bit more research.

[@SAsgarters]

"MD MBBS is Modern Medicine Degree this doc doesn't condemns Ayurvedas and Meditation. " What's relevant is not whether he condemns it, if he prescribes it, he is incompetent. Also, I don't care about any conspiracy theories you may have and if true, they only confirm what I said earlier about the state of medicine in India.

[@singh1803]

india been land of peace,holy man yoga,,i amalso atheist but wheni got maturity i perceived their is big power inside body,yoga has lot of power to make your body power,fight against disease and cancer, i felt it and proudly improved,majority of western thought medicine is simple moneyminting mind control,levitation is possible ,i want to go tibet nepal and want to personally,,majority of public cannot do,they need 100% dedication,power of mind is supreme,,

[@sanatanar]

that makes 2 of us...heheheh...

[@SAsgarters]

Being a fraud is not a matter of opinion. Either it works or it doesn't and if it doesn't and the doctor knows it, he's a fraud. If it doesn't work but he doesn't know it, he's incompetent. If it works and he doesn't know it, he's a lucky fraud. If it works and he knows it, he better have the facts to back it up.

[@SAsgarters]

That's not how burden of proof works. It's up to you to prove the benefits you claim exist.

[@ExTechOp]

"Edmaruku who cant even talk english you belive in him haha?" - Actually, he speaks quite good english, he just has a fairly strong Indian accent. Just as valid a form of English as British or Australian accents are. What should we conclude from the demonstrated fact that you can't even write proper English?

[@forprasanth]

yes, mai brend, india brend michar dolan drumb

[@abinkurian5666]

@deepak c p First of all Sanal is an Atheist. His parents must be christians same as mine.. but that doesn't mean that i believe whatever they believe. and God has said always? how do you knw? you are just a human being. how can a human know what god thinks? or what is in his mind? Because some people said so? or is it because it is written on some old books? Sanal is just asking everyone to reason before you blindly believe. and you are calling him a fucker? :D Facts scares some people. :)

[@SAsgarters]

"There are a lot." For example?

[@SAsgarters]

I doubt you know the situation.

[@SAsgarters]

"So you mean doctor with highest degree and great research are fool." The ones you are referring to don't do research. Their whole business relies on the absence of good, objective research.

[@SAsgarters]

Maybe it's just a sick joke. Or maybe because they believe things that aren't real.

[@SAsgarters]

"Today there is a lot of proof of curing disease with help of Ayurveda & Yoga.." For example?

[@SAsgarters]

Seriously, try to compose a coherent post. As a matter of fact, I do know how to troll. Most people do.

[@SAsgarters]

I understand English isn't your first language, but would you at least try to form a coherent sentence?

[@SAsgarters]

You don't want your inbox filled? Don't respond.

[@SAsgarters]

I don't really care what goes on in India.

[@SAsgarters]

"So you mean doctors*(with master degree MD my personal doctors i never go to MBBS only MD) dont know what they are doing ." Yeah, that's exactly what I mean. It could be that your education system over there is lousy, or that it's a part of your culture to mix fantasy with reality, but yeah, they don't know what they're doing. By the way, I shit better insults than the ones you're trying to use. The only thing about them that's insulting, is your assumption that I'd be insulted by them.

[@pionytudr]

There are a lot. Exactly, a LOT. Why don't you do some research on the internet? I will be the first one to discard stupid religious or superstitious sh*t. But Yoga definitely cures a lot of diseases. Even rhythmic breathing will treat so many diseases that you can't even imagine. My AOL instructor in Stanford (Emma Seppala) is doing research on effects of meditation and breathing on Iraq returned American veterans. Read. Moreover, my "Carpal Tunnel Syndrome" was treated perfectly by Ayurveda.

[@SAsgarters]

I know what ayurveda is a hell of a lot better, than you know what modern medicine is. That much is certain. "But doctors With high class degree dont know what they are doing." Yes. And it is an enormous problem. "Billion of people doing yoga they are fool." Billions of people don't do yoga. Are they fools?

[@ExTechOp]

* your Who, Mr. Edamaruku? No, he is not related to me in any way.

[@SAsgarters]

That is nothing to brag about, if medicine hasn't developed since then.

[@SAsgarters]

It's not a matter of belief, it's a matter of what's real and what can be demonstrated. In that respect, ayurveda testimonials are no better than the Jesus myths. Apart from a few deluded nitwits who often end up dying because they think that alternative and traditional medicine works better, nobody really uses herbs anymore. Our medicine is far more advanced.

[@AaseeshMarina]

I have no idea about Yoga but Ayurveda is based on scientific principles. For Instance, Cataract surgery is first believed to be conducted by Sushruta, an Indian ayurveda practitioner. Ayurveda is by all means a medical science, nothing supernatural.

[@sumeetghai8867]

Sushruta was not a sirgeon and somwthing that os believed to hqve happened has a sense of ambiguity to it. You flawed your o n argument

[@SAsgarters]

You are projecting.

[@ammu2102]

Baba Ramadev, popularise the Yoga amongst the people. At least we should thank him for his noble purpose? I have practised Yoga and cured my ailments... In India, lot of research work is going on Yoga and treatment is also undertaking in many hospitals. The prominent schools of yoga in South is Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhan Sanstha - SYVASA of Bangalore. It is run by the highly qualified people. You can check the same in web. It is really disgusting he is spreading misinformation....

[@bobbymidha3901]

great indian culture lol

[@abinkurian5666]

First of all Sanal is an Atheist. His parents must be christians same as mine.. but that doesn't mean that i believe whatever they believe. and God has said always? how do you knw? you are just a human being. how can a human know what god thinks? or what is in his mind?

[@singh1803]

life is big enigma,,atheist cannot solve public mind problems,yoga is different from religion
