Sadhguru is bringing revolution in Hinduism... looks like He is reminding what Hinduism actually is.

[@manishniraula2465]

@Rahul If one really follows Sadhguru, you dont throw away the traditional ways of the gurus. The only difference is he explains how these rituals and process came into existence and how they were eradicated as well. Not everyone were enlightened enough to understand what he does, so they simply kept the rituals going and the process alive. So in any sense, they both are the same thing. They are no different.

[@kartikaybhardwaj]

@Rahul i had read Vedanta and all that. Sadhguru has said multiple times that he avoids traditional terms because they are now hugely corrupted. He even doesn't wear saffron because of the same reason.

[@shubhodayasalian]

True that

@Rahul what ever one see as helpful in their growth to cross limitations of physical body one could follow that. NOBODY SHOULD EVER BE FORCED.

[@Ankit-rx5db]

@Rahul traditional gurus are not fools sadguru has never said that but he more successful because his approach is different. Every master have his own approach but the end destination is same. Like : whether one study in school A Or in school B both will pass if they strive towards their goal. But approach of school A and School B could be different.

[@ramakrishnakamathsuresh1076]

@Rahul Varna is not completely based on birth. Like you said, past karma may cause you to take birth in a particular Varna. That doesn't mean you are stuck there. Valmiki was born and brought up as a hunter. He became a brahmin and a sage because of his choices, his karma. Vishwamithra was a ksathriya. He later became a sage. Past karma may decide Varna in which the person takes birth. But they can choose differently afterwards.

@Rahul You do not need to be from a brahmin family to put on the sacred thread. There are many, many sages throughout history that have been initiated into brahmin-hood because of their qualities not because of their birth. In fact, this is how it was initially. Anyone can become brahmin through their character. Even today, there are many ashrams or places where this is happening but it is not publicized. The word brahmin means someone who has understood "Brahman" - the supreme source. This is the only qualification that is required to wear the sacred thread. With that being said, it is better we discard these labels. The essence of the vedas is to dissolve our identities and return to the supreme source.

Sadhguru seems to be the wisest (in the widest and deepest senses) person on the planet in terms of his spiritual discourses. In terms of current secularised society, and its political overlap with the world of spiritual development, this talk on the necessity for a diverse social ecology within every institution, and the live-and-let-live acceptance (not mere 'tolerance') of such diversity is deep understanding beyond any normal measure.

For example, a must is they should not be Beef eating people. Similarly few in the rate of may be maximum 5 to 6 points of do's and don'ts will ok and all inclusive. And these should not be seen as some kind of condition rather some disciplinary things to support and protect the very cause of the place called Temple.🙏

Wish to see the same happen in Christianity. Temple, mosque and churches open for anyone who wants to go and walk out free.

[@hamsashree9629]

I totally agree. See the thing is people have not given importance to temples like they should. They think of temples as their sorrow place and wish granting place. They go to temples when they are in hard times, they go to temples to want something from God, this stops people from truly connecting to God. Majority of the Hindus take God for granted. They view God as their wish master, because from a very young age we have been taught thay we can ask God whatever we want, we were never taught to love God. We do some pooja at home not following the proper methods and we have no one to teach us selflessly. This on the whole has a huge impact. People only dedicate to God during certain seasons. We should create awarness about this and a request to you sir. If someone from a different caste approaches you regarding some information please don't with hold anything. Clear their confusion fully. That will go a long way yo get people to understand what Sanathana Dharma actually is.

Our kuladevatha temple is managed and pooja is done by our own kula people... It's been like that for ages in our jathi... Our jathi has many many kulas. In all kulas this is the case. I am from vaisya clan. A brahim is welcome in the temple but he is a guest and can not do pooja but can get prasadam. Even as a child I was confused when in media and school they say brahims do pooja, as in reality I was witnessing just the opposite. Few of our jathi temples still have pattasala, Our jathi people who have studied there do all poojas, even marriages for us. As sadhguru says anyone who learns can do pooja.
