vlog 0006: A Few Controversies and Problems of Hinduism and Buddhism

[@send2gokul]

This is what happens when a christian or a Muslim looks at Hinduism and tries to interpret it. You are just a book, we are a library. You think by reading a book on Hinduism you figured it all? Let me see if I can answer you: 1. You are not thinking at the vastness of life itself. You cannot look at punishment in one birth. Just becaz you cannot remember doesn't mean what you did in one birth nullify you on the actions and damages done. You are still responsible. Yes it's God's mercy that you can forget and just concentrate on what needs to be done. That way there is redemption. 2. There are many texts in which even liberation or moksha is limited. In the 5000+ year cycle your moksha or liberation is counted. Could be for 1 year or 4999 years. That's it. But you have to come down to play your part. 3. Your analogy of the Amusement park is also stemming from your deep rooted Abrahamic background. In Hinduism / Buddhism its more like go to the most amazing amusement park and have a ball of a ride without attaching yourself emotionally. I know it's difficult for an Abrahamic follower to grasp it, but think of it like this - you are happy no matter what, you have to stand in line, you are happy. You got to get the last seat in the ride, you are happy. The ride breaks down in the middle, you are happy. You have to go and stand in another long queue for another ride, you are happy. I think you can now understand the power in it. 4. Again getting into Nirvana is not becoming super dumb, I think the best option would be for me to recommend you a movie called "Lucy" (released in 2014). You will know what Nirvana can be. ...any way I couldn't get to the end of your video as it was exhausting trying to nit pick every mistake you are making. There are so many mistakes that it's exhausting for me.

Hinduism is the only religion that makes rational sense. Abrahamic faiths are all based on stories that were told thousands of years before. Judaism which is the oldest of the Abrahamic faiths used to believe in polytheism. Then Jews changed into monotheism. The more I learn about Hinduism the more truth there is. I

[@luisposada7050]

Every thing you said is worng, very bad interpretation of hinduism. Ignorance is what you need to work on instead of believing youre a smart person. You need to read a lot and find a person to guide you and teach you how to integrate all this wisdom from hinduism. I've never saw a hindu fighting another hindu because of whos god is better like in abrhamic. Theres only one supreme reality called Brhaman, thats diferent from brhama the creator, every god is a manifestation of this one supreme reality Brhaman. The abrhamic religions are not called like that because of Abraham, is a sancrit word where the A represents a negation of something, abrhamic means "not brhaman" theyre ignorant of the one supreme reality called Brhaman everything is brhaman. its a shame you dare to post a video so poor, so ignorant about these topics you think you understand. It takes a life time to really understand and realize the knowledge of hinduism. First of all Sanatan dharma the real name of the so called hinduism is not a religion, not an institution whith one leader or one messiah, its a life style, the acumulation of knowledge of many rishis and wise people through the centuries and there are different interpretations of this one supreme reality and many different schools that teaches different technics and philosofies to reach the real wisdom and they never fight on whos right, they respect one another. Hope you get to a better understanding of it.

[@hoonhwang4778]

In the view of Abrahamic religion where living itself is blessig and God is the authority of afterlife and eternal death, the idea of reincarnation should look like blasphemy, but here, the ultimate goal is not to reincarnate but getting out of that circle of vicious limited existences and reach the shore of eternal peace. Maybe this is the point of misunderstanding?😮

[@GrisAnik]

But my question was: isn't that eternal peace, atheistic non-existence, for which you do not need any of the religions,, basically it is "salvation" without any effort?

[@hoonhwang4778]

@GrisAnik At the risk of overstepping my pay scale, I'd rather put it as ego death than atheistic non-existence. As for the matter of belief or faith, my understanding is that Buddhist follow the teaching of the Buddha with deep reverence and Hindus, understanding feeble nature of human mind, developed the free style techniques of worshipping many imaginary gods for convenience sake, with proper and sincere dedications.

[@TrinityCircus]

So he is basically trying to proof that his dad is better than your dad.

[@GrisAnik]

No, just asking question that maybe all the things we believe about afterlife are not worth it, as they often used as tools of submission to the ruling class/caste

[@harshraj6219]

1. KARMA is not punishment but a reaction to your previous actions. If you do bad things no one is punishing you but you are punishing yourself. Even though the mind and memory are diffrent but your soul is the same. Karma will pass to your next life only if you die before going through the reactions of your actions. 2.MOKSHA or liberation is not limited to special people everyone can acchive it through certain practices when you realize or understand the truth that creator=creation and you are a part of him in the process of Moksha people loose their materialistic desires.

[@GrisAnik]

So you would punish people with full amnesia?

[@killer6969]

​@@GrisAnik if the amnesiac's soul had, irrespective of their birth, performed an unforgivable evil action (or at least a clearly evil one), according punishment is acceptable. im not a devout hindu, but this is a bad retort to the hindu doctine which assumes that one part of you (soul) stays constant as you shift bodies, making you reprehensible to any actions from a previous life. unless u rephrased the question to punishing someone with a different soul, the counter-argument doesnt work.

[@GrisAnik]

I was not asking about soul, in real life, so if person had amnesia, permanently lost memory, let say it is like a baby, due to head trauma, but committed murder before head trauma and before judge, and 100% not faking, would you still punish that person?

[@killer6969]

​@@GrisAnik I mean that is the problem. Hinduism is so deeply tied to this idea of Maya or that the physical world is an illusion that a question on ethics after removing the idea of a soul is meaningless. But putting the relation to Hinduism aside and approaching with a materialist perspective, it is an interesting question - is the person with amnesia the same murderer, or different? Is nature or nurture the cause of murderous tendencies? A ship of Theseus-esque paradox but replacing the memories of an individual instead. I'd probably say that assuming extremely certain amnesia, no soul and even a pure malicious murder, the individual should not be punished. Once a soul is removed, a person's identity is boiled down into consciousness and the body - if consciousness is altered through amnesia, the person is completely different - hence, not liable to be punished for the crimes of a different self.

[@GrisAnik]

@@killer6969 I am asking the same how did we get to point that in all religious we deny this beautiful reality over some pie in the sky. Although I acknowledge that those who live in poverty and suffer more are probably more prone. Being prepared to blow up entire world because that was said in some book.

[@Indianfreek119]

The issue of your perception of Hinduism is that it was something that was a product of thought. Thought itself has many layers, the consciousness that is able to self-realize its thoughts feelings and emotions is what Hindus focus on. Hinduism in its early stages wasn't actually created from trying to explain concepts of thought, that's just one part of many things that influence each other in the material body. The name of the God isn't what one should be focusing on, but rather what the vibrations of the name or mantra associated with the deity invoke in a person. But due to the tempting and distracting effects of the material world, the mind, from birth is constantly pulled in all directions, absorbing knowledge devoid of its truth and being constantly tempted. This causes the mind to be sporadic, full of useless thoughts, to the point one is not able to sit still and have no thoughts at all. Once you reach this state of being thoughtless, you awaken senses your mind wasn't able to recognize before, just like how dormant muscles are activated when one works out for the first time. Do the opposite of action (which leads to temptation) and you will awaken dormant senses, this will then allow one to be able to sense and feel the vibrations of the universe much more. And this is when the actual Hinduism starts. Where one chooses to go the route of attaining Shiva consciousness, Krishna consciousness or even Christ consciousness. You try to attain these individuals' conscious state because they were known to have connected with Brahman, the supreme reality. Once you are able to fully recognize the self realizing consciousness, you will realize that it is the Atma (soul), and once you learn to stay in that state you have access to past life memories and even access to the universal record of knowledge the Akashic records.

[@GrisAnik]

I am not saying that there are no benefits in those philosophies, when you have ADHD mind or too many attachments, many of those teachings can be beneficial, same as eating and exercising practices ...

[@woffydo]

Faith, often considered an emotional construct, emerges from the human psyche, out of fear of the unknown. This notion is reflected in the Kena Upanishad (2.3), which states, "It is not known by those who [say they] know It; It is known by those who [say they] do not know It." This passage advocates for intellectual honesty over blind faith. Similarly, the Rig Veda (10:129) questions the origins of existence with "Who really knows?" This rhetorical inquiry underscores a profound acceptance of the limits of human understanding. Thus, at its philosophical zenith, Hinduism encourages a quest for truth grounded in reality, admitting the allegorical nature of its gods, heavens, and narratives, which serve as symbolic teachings for the less philosophically inclined masses. This approach champions a form of spiritual inquiry that values skepticism and honesty over unexamined belief. The primacy of one's own conscience is elevated above the adherence to mere tradition, beliefs, or customary practices. Gita 18:63, along with Section 132 of the Santi Parva from the Mahabharata, serves as compelling evidence of this principle

[@woffydo]

In the *Bhagavad Gita*, Lord Krishna imparts wisdom to Arjuna, delineating three tiers of knowledge: the superior [18.20], the intermediate [18.21], and the inferior [18.22]. Krishna discusses the concept of reincarnation [2.13], tailoring his teachings to Arjuna's intermediate understanding, as Arjuna's role necessitated discernment for his participation in the battle. This pedagogical approach is akin to simplifying complex concepts for a novice; one wouldn't introduce algebra to a toddler but rather engage at their developmental level. Contrastingly, in the *Bhagavatam*, there is a statement suggesting that the soul's transmigration, while perceived as real, is fundamentally an illusion born of ignorance [11.11.2]. This presents an apparent contradiction to the teachings in the *Gita* where reincarnation is presented as factual. Here, Arjuna was provided with a basic truth (akin to 1+1=2) to prepare him for battle, whereas the deeper metaphysical truth might be more akin to an algebraic equation (x+y=2), indicating a layered complexity in spiritual understanding.

'Pure Science' might be stretching it a bit.

[@vaibhavsingh8122]

Bruh not pure science, some aspects are scientific but not all, its not all science. The methods used for tracking sun, moon and other planets is very accurately described, but the implication of that is not true. Some parts of ayurveda is also true, but "some" not all. Similarly with many things, I love that we are very inclusive, opposite to what abrahamic religion teaches. Our books have information and what they thought could be closer to the truth. We have great stories to teach what's good or bad in a very entertaining way, but again they are stories. Our scriptures say Hell and Heaven is based on our karma, and it doesn't even matter whether we believe in any faith. It teaches love, relation and bonding not PURE SCIENCE.

[@shadowwhisperer9687]

Since you are asking for more explaination and less criticism I'll try and explain a bit. Hinduism is not beleiving a few concepts that sound alien to westerners, but a various forms of interpretations of ideas that were developped gradually with time. So dharmic religions are very different to each person you talk to. As a buddhist from birth but who is also interested in 'hinduism' or sanatana dharma, i can explain my idea of karma, but it's different to different people. Karma means action and it is associated with phala which means fruits, basically results of the action. Karmic system is not a universal justice system, but a reaction to actions. In buddhism skillful actions will result in good conditions and bad vice versa. My idea is actions will have several results, but that's just mine. I do not personally beleive in reincarnation (because we have the freedom to beleive so), but for those who do, in buddhism, you are not given justice for your actions but your birth is determined by the nature of your viñana or consciousness, because in most forms of buddhism there is no self(anatta) which is different from hinduism. Consciousness is not a soul and it is not the mind either, but it's it's basically something like perceiving. In hinduism, atman and brahman is the same but different forms may beleive different things. Like dualistic purusha and prakrti, etc. So as i was saying, it is not justice but your qualification and nature that determines birth. So you cannot compare western judicial system, which unfortunately is the judicial system in almost all countries right now, with paticcasamuppada or the karma-phala system. But again sime people might beleive it is a judicial system too..but it is for them to defend their own veiws. Also, nirvana is a buddhist concept not hindu, so i will explain that too. Nirvana is also different in different forms of buddhism. In theravada buddhism, nirvana does mean blowing out. It comes from beleiving in endless reincarnation without stopping. Nirvana in theravada buddhism is to end the attachment with rebirth so we stop this endless cycle of suffering. Again, this is not hinduism but buddhism and this is the monastic practice of buddhism and not lay practice, if you compare it to western culture, this is the same as christian monastic practice so you can attack christian monastic practices in the same way. In mahayana buddhism nirvana is not exactly blowing off, and it depends on which form as well, for example, in pure land buddhism you get reborn in purelands with infinite bliss and no suffering. I do not beleive these, I am saying what different people of dharmic faiths beleive. Most dharmic faiths are about improving ourselves and giving life direction. The cult of the Buddha is not much different from the cult of Jesus, or Muhammad S.A.W. So when you point such fingers you point several at yourself. So, you cannot basically say with little research that this is the problem with hinduism/buddhism because it doesn't show the clearer picture of the complexity.

You do not know man Whether it is true or not, how are you saying that it doesn't exist? Whether it exists or not, you really do not know. Reading books, gita, vedas, upanishads ...even if you read all the books, you still do not have direct experience and here you project your own illusion

These are all cheap psychiatry..Only under direct experience,is it true to oneself. Even if someone really tells u all about it , even when they are genuine, as far as you are concerned, you will only be believing or disbelieving or agreeing or disagreeing.. But it doesn't mean anything existentially cos even after listening, you are still the same as before.. this fake understanding need to go and realise that we truly do not know. Or else , inevitable conflict will naturally come . But you and me will face the inevitable moment of death. I don't think we need to hurry at this for direct experience cos no one can escape this even if one tries .please understand.❤🙏

[@woffydo]

The essence of truth is singular, yet the enlightened ones refer to it through a multiplicity of denominations," as is intimated in Rig Veda 1.164.46. From this maxim, a plethora of philosophical doctrines has emanated. The journey towards truth is perceived as one devoid of any prescribed path, thereby encapsulating the very core of the matter. It would be a profound disservice to my principles to commit exclusively to any singular course of action. However, for those individuals who are predominantly swayed by the tumults of emotion, swayed by the pendulum of fear and hope, perhaps the adoption of a delineated path is advisable. Thus, texts like certain Hindu scriptures have outlined a route of devotion. This is merely intended as a scaffold for those whose minds are besieged by a plethora of fanciful sentiments.

In Sanatn Dharm( or Hinduism) "GOD" is one(Param Brahma) but shows himself in different forms(which can be interpreted by humans). The term Hinduism was coined as a religion by the British before that it was used for most communities in India. Sanatan Dharm the word Dharm also misspelled as Dharma stands for duties and not for religion. Hindus as you call it practice different methods of worship and can have different ideas of God, like in 'Nirgun Bhakti'(devotion of the formless) the people pray to Param Brahma. You probably don't know this but unlike most religions Christianity and Islam people have freedom of choice you can be a 'Hindu and an an Atheist' at the same time.
