In this podcast, they discuss the BJP-led Modi government, with Abhijit and Kushal questioning Rahul Gandhi and his leadership style. The duo also criticizes the Indian political system for its lack of space for free speech. Kushal also talks about his book 'Nastik: Why I Am Not an Atheist' and the thought process behind it.
Tune in! This podcast is also filled with fun, laughter, witty jibes, and playful banter.

Great podcast! Absolutely true! My husband is based in UK for work for the past 10years and I stayed back in India because I wanted my kids to know who they were. They are Indians and to realise that they had to grown up in India and study in Indian schools. The epiphany happened after reading Jhumpa Lahiri’s Interpreters of Maladies. I am happy that I made that decision and the sacrifice as a couple.

@ashok.vardhan.g 26 дней назад

How exactly did Lahiri's book contribute to your epiphany? Curious to know. I've read that book too, a really long time back, as a teenager though.

@musemotif 26 дней назад

@@ashok.vardhan.g ⁠As you must know the book is a compilation of short stories based on Indian American experiences in the US. It deals with first generation Indian parents who migrated to US and second generation children born in US. What glared at me from those stories were mostly the struggle of second generation trying to be Indians to their parents at home and trying to fit in with fellow Americans outside. Their dilemma with their identity really struck me hard. I decided then and there that I am not going to bring up my children ever outside India. They are free to roam the world and settle wherever they want to but with a strong sense of their identity. Just to mention I had already travelled twice to US by then for work and didn’t like the environment.

I am not confident about the Indian Muslims and their loyalty towards India. I have clear memory of when I was a teenager during the Indopak war in the 70s where the Indian Muslims living and trading part time in Nepal and living full-time with their families across the border in India collected money (chanda ) in India and sent them through Pakistani embassy in our country to Pakistan to support their war efforts. They would have heated arguments with my father a staunch supporter of India and Indira Gandhi. The Indian Muslims were staunchily supporting and praising the Pakistani army and listening to the Pakistani broadcast and believed in the heroic winning moves of the Pakistan army as per that broadcast. They even distributed sweets thinking that Pakistan was winning the war!! I will never believe that North Indian Muslims are loyal to India. This is a wishful thinking a myth.

Right now Indian Muslim feel it's beneath them to identify with a failed nation like Pakistan. Basically Muslims are very egoistic , feudalistic but also thrive on victim playing . The egoistic and feudalistic will not identify with present day Pakistan. The victim playing Muslim identify with kashmir but even there now pok hates Pakistan. So right now they can't afford to side with Pakistan. But in 60s or 80s Pakistan was in vogue then they loved Pakistan

There is a shift of thought between Indians who came in 80’s v/s Indians who came to US in 2000’s. Parents then could not explain the value of their culture to their kids. Either they left them to be Roman in Rome or pushed their values on their kids without making them realize understand what is Indian or Hindu values are. Those kids started hating it. But parents who came later did not do that mistake. I did not tell my child about the religion we follow. But kept following all the practices and festivals we do. One day when my child was 6 years old, came home from the school and asked do we belong to this particular religion. I asked how does he/she know. School was taking about different religion and the practices. So my child recognized the religion we belonged to. And that child is 18 years old now with all the values I followed or my parents followed. Community living was not a thing back then. But now some communities are 60% Indians. Kids don’t shy to show their culture out in open. Entire community celebrates festival. Indians get permission for fireworks on Diwali. Many used to ask why Christmas lights are out in November. Now they know it’s Indian festival. Things are way different now compared to 80’s or 90’s.

@drishti_kharbanda 28 дней назад

Other than Charvaka, there are several other major schools of thought in Hinduism. Here’s an overview: 1. Vedanta: • Advaita Vedanta: Propounded by Adi Shankaracharya, it teaches non-dualism, asserting that the individual soul (Atman) and the ultimate reality (Brahman) are identical. • Vishishtadvaita: Founded by Ramanuja, it teaches qualified non-dualism, where the soul and God are distinct but inseparable. • Dvaita: Established by Madhva, it asserts dualism, the belief that the soul and God (Vishnu) are completely distinct. 2. Sankhya: An ancient school that emphasizes metaphysics, distinguishing between Purusha (consciousness) and Prakriti (matter). Sankhya is dualistic and does not focus on a personal god. 3. Yoga: Closely related to Sankhya, Yoga focuses on practical methods for spiritual growth and achieving liberation (moksha). Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras outline practices like meditation, ethical guidelines, and physical postures. 4. Nyaya: The school of logic and epistemology, emphasizing the use of logical reasoning and systematic thinking. The foundational text is the Nyaya Sutras, written by Gautama. 5. Vaisheshika: This school focuses on naturalism and atomism, positing that the universe is made up of atoms and governed by natural laws. Founded by Kanada, its main text is the Vaisheshika Sutra. 6. Mimamsa: Emphasizes the interpretation of the Vedas, particularly the earlier parts dealing with rituals (the Samhitas and Brahmanas). It stresses the importance of performing Vedic rituals to maintain cosmic order and fulfill one’s dharma. Jaimini’s Mimamsa Sutras are its key texts. 7. Bhakti: This devotional tradition focuses on loving devotion to a personal god. Major Bhakti traditions include: • Shaivism: Devotion to Shiva. • Vaishnavism: Devotion to Vishnu and his incarnations, like Krishna and Rama. • Shaktism: Devotion to the Divine Mother (Shakti) in forms like Durga, Kali, and Lakshmi. 8. Tantra: Involves esoteric practices aimed at spiritual enlightenment and liberation, often focusing on the union of opposites, such as male and female energies. Tantra includes rituals, mantras, and meditation techniques. These diverse schools of thought reflect the rich philosophical and spiritual landscape of Hinduism, offering various paths to understanding and experiencing the divine and the nature of existence.

Smita, I am a fan of your podcasts and have seen almost 80% of them. There seldom are any corrections required hence were ignored. But here in this podcast while concurring with Abhijeet about Panth Nirapeksh (पंथ निरपेक्ष), you suddenly switched to Pant Pradhaan (पंत प्रधान & not पंथ प्रधान) पंथ means "sect" and पंत means minister. पंत प्रधान means प्रधान मंत्रि. In Maharashtra PM is called पंत प्रधान. Please avoid controversies as in your over enthu you may misguide the viewers like how it is done here. It is like a lady historian talking about Shaata Vaahanas ( शात वाहन) (ಶಾತ ವಾಹನ) which is written in English as Sat vahanas, pronounced it as सात वाहन and went on to say the originator of this dynasty had seven chariots hence the nane सात वाहन🤦. She went on to mention the famous king of this dynasty Gautameeputra Shaatakarni (गौतमीपुत्र शातकर्णि) which is written in hindi belt as Satkarni or Shatkarni, read it as षट्कर्णि and went further on to say the one with 6 ears🤢. Please please get clarity before you venture into any grey areas. In Kannada we write and read all these words perfectly well. Diction is perfect as in Samskritam. I am sorry to point this out but thought it may help. I am sorry if it hurts you. I remain a loyal viewer of your podcasts as I learn a lot. Thank you🤝

@@purplesky135 I know that BJP has worked on infrastructure and construction of highways and on many more aspects more than Congress. My question was in context to voting for betterment of culture. "How would you convince voters for whom existence of 'Bharatiya culture' does not matter to vote for BJP leaving aside the work they have done in other sectors ?". In other word... if for an instance I only consider voting for a party based on the work that they have done for the country ONLY and NOT for the indigenous religion or culture of the country then how would you convince that public to take the culture aspect also into consideration while voting ?

Regarding families moving to the West, where the parents are finding a disconnect from their children brought up in the West: The parents didn't understand then that letting go of their roots, including Bharat and Hindu history, Hindu philosophical studies, ritualistic practices, etc., for a one-track focus on making money or overcompensating on fitting in with the white crowd, would become such a backstabbing negligence on their part. I have been brought up in Canada, amidst all sorts of people with different backgrounds, but I was attracted to the local BAPS mandir because of the kids of family friends and because it was/is a place to hang out with fellow Indian community. My parents also saw the benefit of being part of the mandir community and started visiting it regularly. The mandir itself had weekly assemblies and various activities for kids throughout the year, which provided the kids an avenue to become more knowledgeable and inspired by their own culture, heritage, and religion. Not only that, it very specifically has a (basketball) gym where kids can enjoy various sports in (and it doubles as a venue for other events). Mandirs have a huge impact on the overall growth, well-being, and stability of individuals, families, and communities (perhaps even states/nations), especially in the Western nations.

The Charvaka tradition, also known as Lokayata, is an ancient school of Indian philosophy that is known for its materialistic and atheistic viewpoints. Here are some key points about the Charvaka tradition: 1. Materialism: Charvakas believe that only matter exists. They reject the notion of an afterlife, soul, or any supernatural entities. They hold that the only reality is the physical world that we can perceive with our senses. 2. Skepticism: Charvakas are highly skeptical of religious doctrines, rituals, and any knowledge that cannot be verified through direct perception. They reject the authority of the Vedas and other religious texts. 3. Ethics and Enjoyment: In terms of ethics, Charvakas advocate for a hedonistic approach to life. They believe that the primary goal of life is to seek pleasure and avoid pain. They argue that since there is no afterlife, one should focus on enjoying this life to the fullest. 4. Epistemology: Charvakas rely on direct perception (pratyaksha) as the only valid source of knowledge. They dismiss inference (anumana) and testimony (shabda) as unreliable. 5. Critique of Religion: The Charvaka tradition is known for its strong criticism of religious practices and beliefs. They view religious rituals as a means for priests to exploit people. Though the Charvaka school has largely disappeared and its texts are not fully preserved, its influence is still noted in the history of Indian philosophy. The tradition represents a counterpoint to the more spiritual and religiously inclined schools of thought in Hinduism.

Around 01:22:42 , there is a correction. We Jains aren't entirely Nirishwar or Nastik. We, Shwetambar "Murtipujak" Jain & even Digambars do Idol Worship. Then there are "Sthanakvasi" Jains who do not do idol worship but they are Astik too. & so many other kinds. So technically , he is incorrect.

I had a major professor in my college who while answering a question could give 10-15 references for the answer, right down to the paragraph number and line number, but never gave the actual answer. Kushal always reminds me about that professor of mine. Kushal seemingly reads a lot, cites lots of references, but he somehow always fails to simplify things and get to the core of it hence always comes up short in comprehending stuffs. Anyways, it's good to see that Hindus are now discussing Hinduism and doing podcasts about it. And the more Hindus discuss, the more Hindus would evolve and the wrong conceptions, the misconceptions would be shaken off and core concepts would come to fore. Regarding Abrahamisation of Hinduism, it's a temporary phenomenon and in response to the challenge from Abrahamic religions. I see Abrahamisation of Hinduism happening more and more, in proportion to the threat perception of the Hindu society, and it's only fair. People choose to speak about such things casually, lacking deep insight and observation, and it's typical of Kushal. What people like him fail to get is that in structures and organisations where failure isn't an option, they invariably form a singular command hierarchy because it's the most efficient structural formation. For example, army, military etc. Hinduism challenged by structured Abrahamic ideologies has to tone down it's diversity chaos so that we can respond and triumph the challenges, else there's no Hindus and Hinduism left at all. Becoming the enemy to beat the enemy is such a clichéd statement. And I have full faith on our civilization wisdom, on our culture and most importantly, on our Dharmic values that once the challenges cease to exist we would be able to unwind the Abrahamisation. I believe so because Sanatan Dharma is the only philosophy that allows organic evolution and reform, and we have been doing so for over 5,000 years and counting. Anyways, given the choice I guess most Hindus would prefer to be Abrahamic Hindus rather than ceasing to be a life. 😅🤣😂

In his recent interviews to various TV channels/journalists, PM Modi has spoken about it. He also spent the 1st 5 years in eastablishing his connection with the people. He did take some actions and made some changes the results of which were seen during 2nd term. 2nd term saw some bombastic changes. Results of which are seen now slowly.

Believer or non-believer are not words that have come from Sanatan. Charvaka was an equally well-respected, one of the six schools of Sanatan Tatva-gyan ! It has nothing to do with believing in ‘god’ or not. It refers to the basic view one has towards the life and the world around us. And every view was equally respected then.
