thanks for adding the books will surely look it every time i come to this channel i learn something good ❤ keep making videos and we want to learn a lot more 👍👍👍
Manipal University (MAHE) has just offered an MA specifically in Indian Philosophy with faculty coming mostly from traditional Gurukulas. Its a good option for those interested but hardly any other university offering anything of this sort for those who do not come from Sanskrit background :)
@@mylord8105 actually....... Umm Bhagwaan swaminarayan gave a philosophy which was baised on vishitadvait but later after many years he left the earth some followers interpreted wrong things and made akshar purushottam In a book called shikshapatri written by bhagwaan swaminarayan, he accepted vishitadvait is base of his philosophy
I teach Indian Philosophy in Miranda House, Delhi University. In Delhi University, Indian Philosophy forms a major part of curriculum at UG level and subsequent levels.
Ive graduated from DU in commerce stream and i remember studying a book on Indian culture and philosophy only once in the very first semester, that too was under the Four-year Undergraduate plan which has now been removed so cant say what they teach now. However i studied Indian philosophy, higher education in India in pre-independence and post independence era, it was quite comprehensive, under Paper 1 in NET(National Eligibility Test) which is pretty much compulsory if you want to become a professer of any kind. Paper 1 is common to all no matter which stream you are from.
Years ago Mumbai University used to offer a major in Ancient Indian Culture at UG level with Indian Philosophy being one of the six papers, the other papers being Anc. Indian Art & Architecture, Literature, Religion, Society, State & Polity. Today this course has been watered down with the inclusion of Archaeology, Museology and Heritage Management which could have been kept as a single paper with more emphasis on the previous course papers.
If they start teaching Indian philosophy then everybody will become aware of the fact that every other philosophy is a subset of Indian philosophy and has been borrowed from it..
If everyone gets educated then this stupid brahmanical system of vedas and puranas gets exposed which are not written older than 14th century CE( you can see the proof on UNESCO website). The only reason that government schools are kept shit is to continue this shit vedic knowledge in peoples minds and not let them find proof of these vedic stories(ramayana, mahabharat,puranas) which never existed before adishankaracharya(7th-8th AD). Please provide any proof of the so called vedic period if it ever existed.
@@SaiAbitathaDUCIC 😂😂 the nominations that indians provide to unesco are only accepted so dont give me this crap about european civilization. Its the locals who provided the proofs of vedas being not older than 1464AD please read the nomination form submitted by indians to UNESCO.
@@SaiAbitathaDUCIC please enlighten us with these so called literary archeological and genetic proofs and where can i read them ps: only mention trusted sources like UNESCO, ASI, etc and not some wikipedia page 😂
@@SaiAbitathaDUCIC have you ever read the nominations on UNESCO they are by reputed personalities of institutes where the vedas and their oldest manuscripts are found and they are not the people you are mentioning. The nominees of these papers are M.G. Dadhpale( MA ,PhD at the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute where the oldest copy of rigveda is available) and Sudha Gopalakrishnan(MA, MPhil, PhD National Mission for Manuscripts). These researchers have not found any old copy of vedas much older than 1464 and they have the oldest copy available at Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute Pune, you can have a look at it on the web. Again if you have any proof of the vedas being old then please provide appropriate proof.
@@ShubhamKumar-nl2ii Yeah, I feel Gandhi was a paid agent of the British and acted in their favour and showed the world that he's a freedom fighter, that's why probably the western world loves him so much. And also, He didn't believe in Non-violence, probably was just a coward.
@@ShubhamKumar-nl2ii I quoted about Gandhian philosophy: Non-violence. Non-violence can't be solution for everything. Especially getting freedom from forgieners who illegally occupied our place.
Very true. Since last year, I’ve read a lot on Spirituality and as my interest in it widened few days back I was searching for MA courses in philosophy and was astonished to know that Indian Philosophy was just a small part in that corrupted syllabus which was more of teachings on Greeks.
I think if u have nothing to do in life and just want to learn indian philosophy then it is good to do a course. If u want to become enlightened it's better to do some kind of yoga etc. There are people like Sri Sri Ravishankar, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, acharya prashant etc. Indian philosophy can be learned through online courses also or online..
lao tzu and sun tzu are overrated not underrated. everyone knows of taoism confucianism legalism etc. Indian philosophy is a different game altogether.
Bhai mainstream philosophy West ki bhe overrated hai.. Real work Sirf kuch he karke gaye hai such as Frederick nitihzce, jung wagera jinka littrely work gunius leval ka hai.. Ithink ham Indian philosophy ko fhir se revive karke usko base bana ke kitna agge Jaa skte.. Like soch itne gunius thinkers itna kuch work karke chale gaye aggr abb ke jo naye thinkers ayye wo inko base bana ke inke upar soche toh khaa Jaa sakte hai Hamm log as a human leval pe.. Man god damm kya hoga mostly gunius philosopher jo currently kuch time pehel apna work karke gaye wo whai work fhir se soch kar gaye hai jo Indian philosophers karke chalenge gaye hai, aggr wo inh ka base bana kar inke upar sochte toh khaa hote Hamm Ajj but sadly hame fhir se sara kam karna pad rha hai
@@ayushnayak4060 Don't hate China because of its modern governments. The Chinese religions sure derived from the Indian subcontinent but their philosophy is pretty simple and straightforward. I personally like Confucius's "do good, get good idea", probably the most heard idea which is barely embraced by anyone in the modern world. Morality was put in a very simplistic way by Confucius.
This man is a beast!!! OMG This is a true 5 min Crash course on Indian Philosophy Will always try to be like you in terms of knowledge treasure!!! Hats off, Respect!
There are 6 Darshans (school's) of philosophy in Hinduism .. *SAMKHYA(Sankhya originally pronounced), YOGA, NAYAYA, VAISHESHIKA, MIMANSA, VEDANTA* Buddhism and Jainism are not, they are just borrowed forms of above mentioned Darshans, Charvaka is atheistic Hinduism philosophy but not main

Gandhian philosophy: when British slaps you turn the other cheek and practice non-violence. When someone slaps the British, take up arms and go to war...
Hi Abhijeet, good to see you covering philosophy! :) Small correction: Indian philosophy did not stop evolving 1000 years ago. 2 of the prominent Vedanta schools - VishistAdvaita and Dvaita thrived post 1000 CE, propounded by Acharya Ramanuja and Acharya Madhva respectively. Even during the Vijayanagar empire in 15th century there were incredible Vedanta works being composed. Basic Nyaya-Vaisesika text called Tarka Sangraha taught in Gurukulas today was composed as late as 17th century in Andhra Pradesh! :)
Indian philosophical schools had guru- shishya parampara. Philosophical schools like Dvaita, Advaita etc survived invasions . Shankaracharyas are still there. There is no guru shishya parampara of Nyaya or Vaisheshika schools now. Only the literary texts of those gurus are preserved in the museums or libraries. The tradition is totally dead.
@@hsram1985 you are wrong ramayana,mahabhartha comes as ithihasa as our histry, krishna did exist he might be great man , physical strong also gave bagwath gita how to fight for dharma etc., calling him fake would be right but its possible that they were coined as god later on coz even in sanskrit text they dont call them as god but isthihasa
@@TheB657 English translation mai dikkat yhe hai ki sanskrit mai ek he word ke Kai meaning hai so it's a very poitic language..

Loved the brief summary🙏🏻 Vedanta is what mesmerises me the most... Upanishads, Bhagwat Geeta and Vedanta sutra everyone should read as a Sanatani... Right now we are Sanatani/ Hindu just for the sake of the name... Most Santani's know nothing about Sanatan Dharm. I pray for the well-being of our Dharm, Bharatvarsh and everyone... May lord Krishna guide use ... असतोमा सद्गमय । तमसोमा ज्योतिर् गमय । मृत्योर्मामृतं गमय ॥ ॐ शान्ति शान्ति शान्तिः ।। asato mā sadgamaya tamasomā jyotir gamaya mrityormāamritam gamaya 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 हरे कृष्ण 🕉️🙏🏻
I'm very much happy that someone is presenting the real history of india before us and Even happier that present generation is showing great interest towards knowing their actual past.... Very much grateful to you sir ❤️❣️
Niels Bohr had famously said, “I go to the Upanishad to ask questions.” In The Tao of Physics (1975), Fritjof Capra wrote of the time Heisenberg met Rabindranath Tagore, and that the “introduction to Indian thought brought Heisenberg great comfort.”

There is a text called “Sarva Darahana Sangraha” written many centuries ago by the great scholar Swami Vidyaranya- guru to the Vijayanagara Empire. He has gone through multiple different schools of Indian thought- including Buddha Dhamma, Jaina Dharma etc.
#AskAbhijit Is it true that in ancient times the westerners came to India to gain knowledge (of science, maths, philosophy, etc.) from our Rishis' and then spread it to the world without giving citations to them or claiming it as their own/original (which is plagiarism)? And now we are learning those with western citations and praising them overlooking the fact that our Rishis have been using them since ages..
BS ek do cheez zarur liye honge lekin waha pe jo kuch bana hai woh unka swadeshi maal ha from philosophy to science almost 90 percent unhone khud hi banaya hai apan log ko apana desh ko agr badana hai toh bas amir banjao dusre desh aapne aap aa ke talve chatenge
sir I really feel sad that I'm unable to do anything to revise our true culture, to rewrite the true history, and to teach it. I usually burn with rage everyday, but still I'm unable to do anything, what should I do?! Please guide me.,😔😔😔😔😔
I know what state you are in. Don't worry brother, I have been and probably still am in that state. I feel rage and want to change everything but is unable to do so. I tell you something, try to do something big and effective if you want to revive this civilization's true self. Be ambitious, don't only plan for your people but also yourself, no person can reject his interests for others, balance everything in life and focus on gathering knowledge. Plan a career and run your life with the law of realism with a slight mix of morality.
Though all these different interpretations are there, and all are part of the Whole, but the Vedanta is the defining characteristic of Sanatana Dharma.
Also Indian philosophy goes much deeper than just this. India has a deep history of the philosophy of language, including Panini (morphological derivation), Bhartihari (liars paradox, very unique Sphota concept), Jaimini, Katyayana (both talk about relation of how language is formed in our brain before we utter, it relationship of words with real world phenomena the word is referring too, etc - Wittgenstein's precursor in field), Sangam Period philosophy literature (Tolkappiyam, Tirrukural - both amazing books on grammar, ethics, epistemology, etc). Not to mention how deep each of the philosophies you mentioned go. For example Buddhism has Yogachara (first delve into consciousness unparalleled to any ancient tradition) & Nagarjuna's Madhamika.
I'm so proud to be a hindu. A bharatiya. I'm just damn proud. Imagine teaching our children all these great things. It will completely change the way we look at our nation. I'm sure they will be influenced highly.
The breadth and depth of Indian philosophy is incredibly vast, mind boggling and inspiring all at the same time. Having been deeply attracted to Advaita Vedanta (and nowadays Kashmiri Shaivism as well), I am going to make it my life's mission to explore the full range of Indian philosophy, hopefully within the next 30 years while my physical body and mind have the capacity to absorb, reflect and act on this knowledge. Thank you Abhijit for this wonderful overview. I would recommend people to read the book "Sarva Darshana Sangraha/Samgraha" - an overview of all the philosophies is mentioned in that book.
Indian teachings are about attaining enlightenment. Basic teaching is to ask the question "Who am I ?". We are identified with the body and mind but they are accumulations since childhood. We have existence beyond our body and mind. Accessing that dimension is purpose of spirituality. Enlightenment is when we experientially get answer to "Who am I"
#AskAbhijit Sir how are you able to make your way through so much knowledge, I am seeking how you are able to remember so much with such accuracy. Also, kindly tell how you are able to read so many things in so vastly different fields with so much depth.
1100+ Sanskrit schools in UP started by Yogi government. 88k+ students are learning Sanskrit from these school. Hopefully, others will do something like this too.
All Indian philosophies starting from Charuvaka’s only point out to the final philosophy i.e “Advaitha” which is the pinnacle of “Indian philosophy” OR for that matter the only original philosophy in the entire world.
Thank you Abhijit. I did a course on Indian Philosophy last year & shocked to see how rich it is compared to western philosophies I learnt in school. I learnt that by the time of Veda Vyāsa, nearly 10,800 schools of Philosophy (Darşanas) did exist & in the last 1000 years too new schools of thought such as Visishtādvaita, Shuddadvaita, Dvaitādvaita, Achintyabhedābheda etal emerged.
3:07 Astika and Nastika classification in Bharatiya Darshana is not based upon believing in Ishvara, but based upon rejecting Vedas as a source of Pramana.
@Abhijit Chavda sir please can you talk about Audrey Truschke and her thoughts especially on Indian history because sometimes I feel she holds biased views #AskAbhijit
@@pranamjshetty9658 not only that, she has also uttered so many shitty and non sensical claims and her mental speculations against Bhagwan Shri Ram derived from her dogmatic narratives
Sir, In Engineering 3rd Year CSE we have a Mandatory Subject INDIAN TRADITION CULTURE AND SOCIETY, There I came to know about Al these schools of thought you are talking about, & Many more like SAPTANG Of a STATE by CHANAKYA. Finally Goverment is waking up to Restore our Glorious History.
My curriculum as a Post Graduate student in Philosophy has a mixed blend of Eastern (Indian subcontinent) and Western (Ancient Greek, British, German and American) philosophies. The current lot of academicians are hell bend on making comparative studies. The comparison is mostly between Indian schools of philosophy and Western philosophers. In India, importance has always been given to schools of philosophy unlike the western world where a philosophical idea is almost entirely the brainchild of a particular philosopher. Hence the fascination with western influence like most of us have today with the influencers of culture, ideology, choices, habits, profession and more. I think it's easier to connet to a person with an ideology than the ideology itself. I might be wrong though. However, I am writing this because in my 1st semester I have 3 papers from Indian Philosophy and 1 each from Western Logic and Western Philosophy out of total 5 papers. So there is ample content I am studying from Indian Philosophy at this point. This ratio will balance itself in subsequent semesters, I am sure. Gandhiji himself borrowed his philosophical beliefs from both the Eastern and Western world. His ideologies of Human freedom and Civil disobedience were borrowed from philosophy of 'The Bhagwat Gita' and the american philosopher and naturalist 'Henry David Thoreau'. Food for thought-Sanskrit should be taught sacrosanctly and studied vehemently to arouse interest in Indian philosophy. It should be mandated compulsarily into our education irrespective of the boards and as early as in the primary classes.
5:02 According to Shri SM Sinha ji, Yog is basically the invention of Nath Sampradaya, later on adopted and promoted by patanjali....Adinath shivnath to Gorakhnath....To patanjali .....
Even a baby is a hindu. But he is ignorant. No one wants any human stay like baby forever. Charvaka is baby compared to remaining philosophies. Vedanta is like wisest man.
You are very much the renaissance and rebirth of of bringing back the depth and richness of indian philosophy, as well as dusting off the past of our history. You sir are a gem
Sir u r absolutely correct....thank u for raising such issue..it's a big story that I don't want to share,but in short if we want to revive the humanity with science,than it is only indian philosophy can help.
#AskAbhijit why are North Indian and South Indian languages so different, also which language United North and South India in ancient India (because sanskrit is not used in south)
Sanskrit is the language which United North India and South India. North Indian languages have Turkic Farsi and Arabic words because of the islamist inv∆sions. South Indian languages have more sanskrit words than present day Punjabi or Kashmiri
Sanskrit and tamil both developed indipendently in india. That's why grammatically they are different Still you'll find many sanskrit loan words in tamil. Although north india and south indian had similar culture and religion , but north indians had trade and cultural relations with central asians and europeans of that time (read about indo aryan superstate of mittani ) . So you'll find linguistic similarities between sanskrit and many european languages But tamilians had no cultural connection with any foreign land so tamil remained here in india and gradually evolved itself and influenced south indian languages like Telugu , malyalam etc..
There's also the Bhagavad philosophy which comes from the Bhagavad Gita and Lord Krishna's teaching here is that the body is mortal but the soul is immortal. We can only attain Moksha (release) by freedom from the wheel of rebirth through good karmas. Buddhist philosophy borrowed heavily from the Bhagavad Gita except Buddha also preached that there is no Supreme Soul or God. However, after he attained Nirvana the Mahayana Buddhist followers filled up the emptied heavens with Bodhisattvas and Tibetan goddesses too.
Varna system existed in india much before and we should acknowledge that and move on instead of putting blame on British or Mughals. I can give references to scriptures which talk so much shit about lower varnas and avaranas and there are people who really support that even today. So yes the Dalits we call today are nothing but avaranas and they were treated worse than animals. So it's true and even exists today in rural parts.
@@manansharma6348 geeta upholds varna vyavstha but one real debate from centuries is whether it is birth based or credit based. Orthodox hindus are hell bent for birth based and some support credit based.
@@samarthbarshi1916 Varna vaystha is by default karmic or ability-based. There are ample proofs in the scriptures itself which proves that the varna system was fluid in past. The caste system is a recent phenomenon and no one is denying the atrocities but I believe it is being exaggerated like sati.
I have never seen a philosophy department that doesn't teach the major schools of Indian philosophy.... 🙄 The contemporary philosophers like Gandhi, Iqbal, Tagore are on the other hand underrated. On the other hand, i'd say Chinese philosophy is heavily underrated in all institutions of philosophy
*The Advaita Vedānta school of thought is similar to the Gnostic Teachings of Jesus and the Shunyavada school of Buddhism.* *This video 🎥 is great. Thanks for making it. It's a shame universities don't teach them.*
@@TheB657 *"Adopted" would be wrong brother. If you look at the timeline of Jesus, Buddha and Adi Shankara they all belonged to different timeline. They were all original when it came to their own teachings.*
*Nagarjuna is also based on the Madhyamika (Middle way) of Gautama the Buddha. I recommend you to read The Gospel of Thomas, and Gospel of Mary Magdalene. 👍🏾 Then study Advaita Vedānta. Compare them, and you will find no difference.* 😉 *The Advaitavādā philosophy (Non-duality) is inbuilt in the ancient mystical teachings of Non-vedic too. Check out Meister Ekchart, and Sufi master like Rumi.* As a Pagan/Hindu in the path of Jñāna Yoga, it will be wrong for me to put down other religions. It is understandable that Christianity has destroyed many cultures in the past and still doing it, but by blaming every individual within this religion will be a big mistake. One must refrain from stereotyping. To compare Jesus with the crimes of ignorant people who call themselves Christians does not make sense. I hope we can make the world a more peaceful place to live in. We must all resurrect the Christ within. _As the Mandukya Upanisha 1.2 of the Atharva Veda says "Ayam Atma Brahma" (the Self, Ātman is Brahman) likewise we must go beyond the Maya of Nāmārupa (names and forms) and unite as "one" (Advaitam/Brahman). 💞_
_It means A W A K E N I N G, brother. That's the symbolic meaning of Jesus' resurrection after his death on the cross (to awaken or break away from the material identification of body/mind complex. Nāmārupa in Sanskrit). IDK what philosophy you are talking about mixer grinder but may you find peace ☮️. No hate can make any individual better._
