Kautilya - Noon Time Lecture - Dr. Larry Goodson

Kautilya was a Indian statesman and philosopher, chief advisor and Prime Minister of the Indian Emperor Chandragupta, the first ruler of the Mauryan Empire.

I m an ex servicemen from the land of Kautilya. Sir you have covered the topic in detail. I appreciate

India should adopt Kautilya arthashastra not Ghandi non violence

[@dharmendra.singh.1985]

Gandhi was inspired by the Bhagavad Gita which contains the direct word of God. It was this that defeated the British without firing a single shot. Lord Shiva and Lord Krishna's teaching also went on to found Buddhism. When the Mongolians came to India, they were converted to Buddhism and sent away peacefully, without bloodshed. No, India should not adopt the Arthashastra. The world should adopt Sanatana Dharma. Aum shanti shanti.

[@risingsun9064]

Wow, ancient India was an amazing place

[@prasantapathak7724]

I enjoyed listening to you because the depth with which you have covered Arthasastra. It is rather amazing that Kautilya did such an in-depth theoretical analysis of the political economy. We Indians are proud of Kautilya. The whole world has much to learn from him. Hope we all will avoid open war and solve problems through diplomacy. Let us all believe in peaceful coexistence instead of increasing one's power through destruction, killings and spoiling earth's atmosphere.Unfortulately all politicians are power hungry!!

[@TheKansen]

In the 4 approaches the 2nd one is "Dama" not "Dana". It means securing the outcome with money or bribe. "Dana" means charitable giving.

[@kushagraaniket4137]

Do you think “dama” is a Sanskrit word? 😂 Dana is the correct word here.

[@patmclaughlin107]

Dana is the correct word. "Daam" is just a Hindi corruption of the word Dana.

[@jonrolfson1686]

Aptly noted at the end, ''maps are not permanent.' If statecraft (and its subset warmaking) were to be compared to the running of rapids in rafts or canoes, then the Arthashastra of Chanakya Kautilya is something like a handbook for rivermen. The water is constantly changed, and the character of a river, though cyclically similar to its prior conditions, is infinitely variable in its speed, depth and the changing likelihood that it will carry one's craft over a rock, onto a rock or into a stultifying edy. The riverman/statesman must attempt the passage with either an inherently buoyant, flexible but hardly steerable raft or with a faster, more dirigible, but also more fragile canoe: Sometimes there is a choice of craft, other times there is no option.

[@abhishekkumar-js7kr]

A very good example.

[@moongrass217]

The problem with Indian is they blindly follow western education. I studied sanskrit st young age. So I was able to enjoy kalidasa Basa chanakya. KAUTILYA means who us KUTILA That crafty cunning and scheming.In fair war Dharma yudha there are rules. KAUTILYA was determined to defeat Nava Nandas. In the process he was researching the the process resulting in Arthasha😊

[@dhargyal2012]

I consider one of the great contribution that I have made to the humanity (archaeology in particular) is my discovery of the Asokian Four Directed Lions symbol may be referring to the original home of the Moryan kings as Chandra Gupta (Ashoka's grand father and founder of the Moryan empire) is from a place called Tak-Ka-Shi-La (which in Tibetan language means "Four Directed Lion's Pass") in present day Afganistan-Pakistan Border area.......... so I discovered that Ashoka could be of Tibetan ethnicity...... It would be hard to believe that Chadra Gupta came from a place called, in Tibetan sounds like, four directed lions pass ("Tak kah si la") and his grandson choosing four directed lions as his signature (or amblem) could be coincidental....... I think Ashoka chose the four directed lions as his emblem to indicate the name of his lineage's original home land (since its in Tibetan, he must know Tibetan to interpret it correctly....)

[@pikachue602]

Mispronunciation is nothing. It is the content, essence, how to implement the essence what matters. If you waste your energy on these non important things, you have less for implementation.

[@Jszar]

It depends on whether the people you want to talk with later can recognize what you're saying.

[@ikiraw21]

Kautilya is not from Middle East. He is from south east that is India.

[@shaileshkulkarni6525]

Dr Goodson made a few geographical faux pas in his lecture. To a good military strategist, sound knowledge of geography is as critical as warcraft or diplomacy. A wrongly quoted grid reference will certainly change the course of battle, if not war. Also, correct way of pronouncing the original word is too, important, for, in some ancient languages like Sanskrit, wrongly pronounced word would certainly change the meaning and context too. You don't need this during war, I guess.

[@Putin0019]

But in India if you take any Hindu philosopher's name, your are not secular 😅😅😅😅

[@CoralBeach1111]

Ridiculous because Hinduism embodies the original concept of Secularism whereas Christianity and Islam are opposite of that.

Lord Vishnu should be noted as the greatest military commander of all time. He defeated The British and the Mongolians without spilling a single drop of blood. Who else in history has ever pacified the greatest military forces of their day? You should not be teaching The Art of War or Arthashastra, you should be teaching The Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads and Yoga Sutras.

So pathetic to have a lecture on one of the greatest scholars of all time and Dr Larry didn't bother to get correct pronunciation of Kautilya. It is like calling Dr. Larry Goodson as Dr. Arry Goodson. Bloody ignorant.

Cut the guy some slack, He understood the philosophy of Kautilya, that's more than enough, and I don't think Kautilya would mind the mispronunciation of his name.
