Thank you for this video! Since my mother passed I’ve been so spiritually lost and have felt a calling to research Hinduism.

[@arshavidyananda]

Sorry for your loss. Hinduism is so vast that it can be easy to be lost. You might enjoy our podcasts - Vedanta - the river of wisdom which can be found here - podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-river-of-wisdom

I pray in the name of Jesus that you may be filled with the Lords peace, joy, compassion, and protection from angels! I pray for your heart to heal, be cleansed with the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and may you have sweet and deep sleep. You are so deeply loved by our creator- I love you! I feel led to share with you, my testimony: I had a madame as a mother and an absent father- I was in the adult industry (a stripper, porn star), I was in 4 modeling agencies, I attended acting classes in New York and LA- I was booked for acting gigs, I was married and divorced already, I got asked to sell my soul in the music industry, I was almost human trafficked, I was in many car accidents and left unharmed, I tried every drug possible, I tried every other belief system like Hindu, witchcraft/new age, Muslim, - and I still didn’t have peace. Until, last year at Santa Monica beach at 3 am- I asked,” God of the universe, reveal yourself to me.” I then started to have a series of dreams and visions of Jesus Christ! I now have a online ministry. God gave me back my parents, my health, my joy, my calling in life, and my peace. There is nothing that compares to Him! Ask Him, He is faithful to reveal himself to you in a new and fresh way as an adult- no matter how many times you’ve strayed before- it’s never too late to come back to the Fathers arms- stronger and mightier than before! Come on! Amen! ❤ Jesus heals! Jesus provides! Jesus restores! Jesus loves you so much! Nothing compares to His presence- one drop of His presence is worth more than a cup of anything this world has to offer! I can vouch for this myself. I encourage you to ask Him today! 🥹🤗🥹🌬️ He is faithful and He will show you!

Is there a version without the backing music?

Informative, thank you!

🙏🕉️ thank you for this video.

[@user-bc7ye1uw4i]

Love this thank you!

[@rramou]

Your background music is too loud and drowns out your important message. You should also provide more definitions of terms to make your message more understandable to those new to the religion/way of life, like what is a rishi? What is the concept of bhagvan?

[@anupamroy88]

perfect :)

[@shankarchowdhury1907]

Please make more videos like this for the benefit of proper education for everyone.

[@DAKMProductions]

Awesome explanations and video! And yes, 🕉 Hinduism is really more of a "Way-of-Life" teachings than a typical "religion". It is better to educate oneself to enrich one's life than to be ignorant of the universal forces that affect us and become stagnant in life and beyond. Learning & fixing mistakes now will benefit this life and especially the next, until you attain Moksha (liberation from the rebirth cycle). Jai Shree Krishna 🙏

[@arshavidyananda]

Thank you very much. Best wishes for all your pursuits

[@DAKMProductions]

@@arshavidyananda 🙏🙏🙏And Best Wishes for You as Well!

[@JyotiShivaShakti]

Bhakti is so ingrained in us. That it just happens every day. And yet it takes at least an hour a day. We skip other things now to do our bhakti. It is so ingrained in our family❤

[@arshavidyananda]

How beautiful that you have integrated acts of Bhakti in your life. The beautiful thing about it is that your bhakti percolates into every area of your love and nourishes it.

After I went through depression I felt spiritually lost. Thank you for this ❤

[@AshwinSriram]

Excellent presentation. It really gives a simple and succint understanding of the basics of Sanathan Dharma. I really appreciate the effort and clarity conveyed through the video. I shall share this video with friends. My only (mild) criticism is that you have described Sanathan Dharma as "Eternal Religion" whereas the word Dharma actually has a much deeper meaning in this context. I understand it is difficult to translate Dharma and its nuances in a short video without going into the subject of Rta (Cosmic Order or Natural Order), but it would be better not to equate Dharma with religion as that can lead to certain misunderstandings which are already prevalent today.

[@arshavidyananda]

Thank you for sharing. The use of the word 'religion' is deliberate. To describe ourselves we do not need to use the word 'religion' but in the context of world religions and for constitutional rights we need to use the word religion. One can argue for one's rights only if one is a religious group or a tribe. Dharma continues to be a 'non-translatable' and hence can be explained. The same thinking applies for the use of the word 'philosophy'. Left to ourselves we will look upon ourselves as a 'vision of reality' and not a speculative philosophy but we also need to position ourselves in the context of world philosophies. Context matters all the time in what is emphasised.

Very nice, just background music is too loud. Also, use of word god needs to be dropped and word bhagawan to be explained from outset and to be used. Baie dankie for lovely video.
