I grew up in Hare Krishna community in Nepal , right now I m in USA . When I compared my life now and then of course I love my childhood which was my best , no worries , no negative energy , all full of happiness now I have money but stressful life , I hate this life . Western people never understand how happiness lies within us
Never say never. I love a few Eastern religions and ISKON is one of them. They teach in Christianity that kingdom of heaven is within us, but so many people don't seem to comprehend It REALLY is. Not that when we die it may not be outside of ourselves also however. I am a westerner.
As an alternative example, I live in a Hare Krishna community (in British Columbia, Canada) that is not managed as a commune. We all own our individual land (about 5 acres), have more independence and take major decisions democratically (which usually has to do with infrastructural maintenance and improvement). There are a set of loose rules by which we all agree to abide by. But, that's just how intentional communities function. Though, ours have a Hare Krishna flavor to it. :D
I'm not sure if you are fully aware of what he is saying here. He has obviously been told to moderate how he is talking (when Kate subtitles it as [muttering] ) but he starts to explain WHY his chickens are safe now. He is talking about the village used to contain single houses with many families in one and the crime rate would be much higher (stolen chickens) but because of the Hare Krishna people the houses are too expensive for that particular Hungarian ethnic group to remain in the village. He even starts to pronounce the word at 11:31 but stops himself. They even ask Kate and her friend in Hungarian if they understand what they are insinuating, but Kate either didn't understand this nuance of the language or decided not to subtitle it.
Converting? There's no ritual in Hinduism prescribed to convert people of other religions to Hinduism. If a Christian wants to become a Hindu then he doesn't need to give up going to church or praying to jesus, all he has to do is to give up the idea that Christianity is the only "true" religion and their God is the "true" God, such thinking gives rise to intolerance.
@@asemark2678 Dude, thinking that 2+2=4 is the way of abrahamic religions. Don't Christians tag anyone who doesn't believe in Jesus as heathens? Doesn't Bible condemn anyone who doesn't follow Christianity to hell? 10+10 is not 20 but equal to 100 if the person is using the binary system. So, just because the other person's answer/views doesn't align with your views it doesn't mean he's wrong. Don't be a narrow minded human and don't reject anyone who doesn't think like you. In Hinduism it's believed that every person has the right to choose their own God, to choose their own faith, the only rule is to not harm the nature. And I don't think you understand the concept of karma at all.
@@asemark2678 Oh yeah. Truth like 'earth is center of the universe'? 😅 Don't worry, everyone thinks that their version of 'truth' is the ultimate Truth. The problem arises when you start hating those who have their own version of 'truth'.

This is exactly the essence of Hinduism, all inclusive .. That is why it has withstood the test of time inspite of repeated onslaught both from within and outside, and assimilated every good aspects from everything . That is why it is eternal !!! There is a saying in Rigveda , the first book ever known to mankind which depicts the Hinduism philosophy in a Nutshell -" Ano bhadrah Krathavo Yanthu Vishwathah"- Let the knowledge come to us from every direction
As told in last ..things are not that hard.. because after chanting starts.. soul automatically leaves these lower taste things like caffeine, nonveg, sex etc. Its like after medicine you recover your soul and find truth and real taste of life Which is to Serve Lord Krishna the supreme personality of godhead.🙏😇😇😇
kate, a fascinating and revealing film. particularly in light of all the news lately about hungary's far right politics and nativist policies. thanks for sharing. a couple of points: individuals who join the hare krishna faith do have choices: they choose the faith, and then they have the option to leave the faith, without consequences, i presume. and re: your point about children not having the choice, that remains true in all cases, across the world, across time. for example, millions of children born in america's bible belt into families practicing evangelical christianity may be raised to be homophobic, or worse, anti science and anti reason. :)
Aim of Sanatan Dharma is not to convert others into Hinduism bt to spread love & peace.. And they are only spreading happiness n peace 👍👍Hare Krishna 🙏🙏
We chant so we can be Happy n Make krsna Happy.....If we try to adjust to material endeavors which we been doing for birth after birth n still we can't find peace n ever lasting happiness
Just ask this questions what inspires them to live that live away from sensations , emotions to colourless world . Strict veg,folowing strict life . Well I know all this no way closer to this great human. Take Respect divine soul. It's not easy to control senses . Why I call them divine ? You don't choose Krishna but he Chooses you . So being born in India yes you could folow Krishna not a big deal . But,someone in communist ,heavily materlist or Christian country. Where life is all about eating ,sex and enjoy ..what 8npires them to join Krishna something beyond words . Truly chosen . Please subscribe let good people grow . Hare Krishna Brother and sisters .
We have the free will. We always have the choice. Most of times we end up making compromises and adjustment with choices by our own. We our holding us back not the others most of times. Hare Krishna
See good and bad so as right and wrong is in everywhere but where there is Krisna blissful stays forever You need nothing to be a piece of life no mantra, no meditation, only the name of his is enough he will be their for you. Love him he is the lord of the entire cosmos. Take care
To generate income, it has start hotel and catering services, also conduct vacations with resort type of accommodation, there are many rich Hindu businessmen who can put some big amount, whatever interest it generates can be donated to these type of people
Some people think these are stupid things but you know which people believed these Albert Einstein M K Gandhi Robert Oppenheimer Etc. So,You think these are stupid things why these intellectual persons were following these
Being a hare Krishna doenst mean that you have to live in a "commune" of hare Krishna lol You can be a hare Krishna and be a Grihasta which means a person who has a family and lives in his own house. Hinduism is like religion but better. You don't even have to be a hare Krishna to believe in Krishna. Krishna didnt set any rules that you guys are talking about in the train... Hare Krishna is a sect of Hinduism not Hinduism in it entirety.
Some cultures (and individuals) prioritize social stability over freedom. Some freedom over social stability. The two ideas might not have a negative correlation, but my conjecture is that they do.
A big congratulations to HH Sivarama Swami Mahajaja the driving spiritual force behind the entire community development and totally guided by HDG AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada. Hare Krishna ys ad
Dear creator you can.t find the actuala answer by asking some random questions. I request you to read the Holy Gita. You will find all your answers.Hare krishna 🙏🏻😊 May krishna Bless you with all the happiness.
This world badly needs Hare Krishna Movement in every part of the world not because to spread a religion but to make the world realize that the most important aspect of the life of a human being is nonviolence, unconditional love and compassion. Just see these African, middle-east and Asian countries where unrelenting violence, hatred and human rights violations (particularly on women & children) are going on for decades and decades. The last 1200 years have been the darkest period for humanity. And no prizes for guessing why.
ṃ] asato mā sad gamaya tamaso mā jyotir gamaya mṛtyor māmṛtaṃ gamayet Oṁ śhānti śhānti śhāntiḥ From ignorance, lead me to truth; From darkness, lead me to light; From death, lead me to immortality Om peace, peace, peace!
Keep on singing bhajans of Thakur ji, keep smiling like this. Thakur ji's love is same for all no discrimination. You must keep your lotus feet on the holy land of Vrindavan for Hari Darshan once in a life. I as a small devotee of Krishna ji bow down for all the visible and unseen Hari devotees.. 🙏🙏🙏Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare 🙏🙏🙏 ठाकुर जी का भजन करते रहो यूं ही मुस्कुराते रहो। ठाकुर जी का प्रेम सब के लिए एक समान है। कोई भेदभाव नहीं। जीवन में एक बार हरि दर्शन के लिए वृंदावन की पावन भूमि पर अपने चरणकमल जरूर रखना। सभी दिखने वालों और ना दिखने वालों हरि भक्तों को हरि के एक छोटे से भक्त का कोटि कोटि नमन। 🙏🙏🙏 हरे कृष्ण हरे कृष्ण कृष्ण कृष्ण हरे हरे - हरे राम हरे राम राम राम हरे हरे 🙏🙏🙏
I think western Hindus going to be the best devotees of hinduism, knowing the scientists in Vedas n Bhagavathgita. They are the old souls of India took birth in Western land
Hare krishna movement is a profound science n universal philosophy of hard n soft spiritual mystics and provides ways to attain self realisation through yoga and meditation and..singing..dancing..chanting mantras in the Lord's name..thus brings health and happiness and wellness..peace..joy...it is a simple..flexible and liberal and..democratic way of living in sustainability....it calls respect for rights of people..animals and nature...n on non violence...to all through words..thought..and actions...
Apart from Raising Real estate prices near the sleepy village and chickens of neighbor's returning safely home bcoz all are vegetarians these are the 2 complaints. But again Hungarian people are good hearted.Met some tourists in India.one was a yoga teacher. May Krishna bless all. Best wishes Arun
I was a Hindu monk and follower of Krishna in Hungary. A novel of mine on the subject will be published in the USA soon. I always speak with love about things that Krishna devotees do not like to mention. So what is in the Krishna religion and what is behind it in reality. If you are interested, let's keep in touch and if we have piqued your interest, let's talk.
Theres a lot of myth in western media regarding hinduism i mean alot .. Hinduism sets you free . You may do whatever you want you may pray to god or not even praying but no boundation because it accepts everything and everyone. ...... I am surprised to see their attire saaree and dhoti kurta they wore is an indian attire but not even any practising hindu were them they may live western life and also practising hare krishna ....but its upto them its their life and they chose it ....religion should free you instead of bounding so whenever you feel you are bored of it you should have right to come out of it ... And hinduism allows that and also no foced conversion ...... It must be your choice so have a detailed search first ...... I am proud hindu and i love my gods and goddess. 😊
Even according to science also the oldest religion and 1st human evolution and migration happened from indian subcontinent then later its reached to Africa then second migration happened from Africa meaning we all are one DNA only according to climate region our colour way of living style become different.
