I love what Raghunath says in the end- "soul is a soul. It's not about what religion u need to join. Truth is truth! Just like Math! There is no "Jewish math"! It's just Math". 👏🏼
Everything this guy said I feel, at 50 I look back on my younger years with regret - lots of wasted opportunities, procrastination, blaming everything but myself for my problems etc, but moving forward I hope that I've learned from these mistakes and can live a better life, reconnecting back with nature and stopping to enjoy the small things in life I've taken for granted.
The word karma means action. Good karma is literally making good decisions. Pretending karma's like magic is a total cop out. The best way to get bad karma is to deny that you control it.
Karma is the “emergent impulse” , due to the sum total of ones past actions. Your karma is what it means or feels like “to be you”. And your decision making comes out of that. The practise of yoga fixes those emergent impulses , to bring you on a path to Dharma . My simplest explanation for karma , yoga and dharma :)
@@vivashvanbhushan3422 dude if "Akarma is action without any reaction at all positive or negative", I can definitely see the prefix "a" in "akarma" meaning lacking
47, and it's not totally untrue. There's something in that. (There are also external factors you've got to deal with- like handicap. My life changed a lot, beyond my control. I still "made my own world", but gosh was it different than the one I did for myself before...)
Karma: the concept of consequence, this all there is to karma. Either in this life or your next. Dharma: the responsibilities that you should chose to take according to your Karma. If you decided to have a child. Good parenting is your dharma Rebirth: the concept that soul is indestructible and immortal. Karma and Rebirth explain the different starting points of all living beings.

@@mr.manes88 yes, and attain Nirvana, freedom from the cycle of births and deaths, achieve super consciousness, be free from Material and bonds of Karma.
@@lolgamez9171 it actually happens according to Hinduism 😂. Look it up. According to our scriptures, our god of of death was the first human to die. So he makes it a point to listen to every soul's story. He doesn't come down so as to not effect his judgement.
Isn't it magnificent. Keep diving back into yourself. You will eventually hit a point where you can understand multi consciousness. It will hurt, when i first experienced it, it felt very lonely your basically waiting for the rest of yourself to catch up & evolve. It makes it easier to understand the other humans though. They are just young they will get through this eventually.

To people in comments: Whoever you talk to in life. Take them seriously but not literally. Understand where they are coming from and try to apply (some of) that knowledge/wisdom to your core, if you wish. Understand that you are talking to a human, no matter how wise and intelligent and high-ranking they are.
Yes exactly you took the words out of my mouth also i would like to point out no matter how much you think you are right in your idea/ideas, live your life open minded and be ready to the possibility that everything you though is horse crap and i might b completely the other way, anyway we are all human here some smarter that’s right but no super humans and nobody knows beyond out existence on this planet lol so just be positive, just chill the fuk out and live your life the best way you cant cause who da fook knows what’s coming
I don't know what good karma I've accumulated to be able to witness this beautiful conversation. JR is doing a greater public service than any public servant I've ever heard about. Thanks Joe
There are 4 platforms you can be on.. Material, mental, intellectual and spiritual. Joe is stuck on the mental platform. Trying to figure it out with his mind and senses. The mind and senses are imperfect instruments.
Kind of like someone solving integers and when x is introduced, it's like why would we take imaginary number when we have the real one's. It defies the logic at beginning and then whole another world appears just cause you opened yourself to imagination just once.
That's bullshit. He's worked hard enough, been wise enough and has put himself in a place where he chooses his struggles, bangs them out and makes himself even more successful. You think being Joe Rogan is easy? You wouldn't last one day.
Joe, invite Jim Carrey to the show, please!! He is truly awoken (no matter how misused that term is nowadays). That can be a deep show man, where he can actually be himself and speak to someone who is up to the height.
@@tylershowman8590 Look kid, first of spirituality has nothing to do with politics, see you thought I was using the vulgar use of awoken, however I had already quoted above in the comment "(no matter how misused that term is nowadays)". What I´m talking about is the doorway towards enlightenment, probably a field you have no clue about. Now in plain words though, for you to understand, do you really believe that God accepts only certain sort of politically oriented people? You must be fucking kidding me. (p.s. When talking about spirituality a concept of god is accepted, just in case you wanna fuck around with that too). Let´s get to politics now, there are 22,000,000 people working for the goverment in the U.S., whose salaries get paid from taxes. They do not work in the free market, therefore is basic socialism. And do you know what the 5 basic rule of communism is? A CENTRAL BANK. Centralization of credit with an exclusive monopoly (no free market again). So, It´s easy to see that with big Goverment, the Deep State, the FED... the U.S. is already a big socialism. Need more? Happy to put a ligth upon moron comments.
He got some of the points incorrect 1.Dharma according to Hindu Mythology is one's duty to maintain balance in the universe, it is what you are destined to be 2.Karma is a summation of the good and bad deeds you did while reaching your Dharm(Destination) 3. Think of it as travelling to a new continent that is your destination(Dharma). How you get there airplane,car,walking,boat is your journey (Karma).....this is oversimplified version 4.The main goal of hinduism is to escape this cycle of Rebirth-karma-dharma and become one with the Universe (Moksha). Not to be confused with Nirvana(Enlightenment)
@@Max-xl7ei I will try my best to explain it simply but please remember definitions of moksha and Nirvana might change according to which school of thought you follow. That being said 1. When you attain Moksha you become one with Universe as in you become the universe itself(think of it as being omnipresent). Norse mythology has defined it as "Odinforce", an all seeing eye.Dimensions don't matter to you 2. Some people especially ones I follow say Nirvana is first step to Moksha. During Nirvana you detach yourself from the reality and break certain barriers that hold the human consciousness(Hyper Consciousness maybe). People who attain Nirvana are said to have done unnatural things according to myths e.g (Levitation, Impossible healing,Climbing mountains in less than 5 steps). Jesus Christ is said to have achieved Nirvana according to some Indian scholars suggesting by the feats he achieved and so did Buddha.Human emotions and attachments don't matter once you achieved Nirvana but you still are part of the birth-death cycle.
Those of you who think this is a depressing thought, you might be having a great time right now which is good but what about the horrible past lives you have had and the ones you will have in rebirths you think only the earth rotates?

There’s an amazing book about a hypnotherapist who was originally an atheist treating people and when they were under *deep* hypnosis he would tell them to go to the source of their unexplainable pain/depression/etc. and the first time he did this a man (who had a pain in his side and after many tests the doctors told him it was psychological) immediately started describing being bayoneted in a war. The hypnotherapist who was a minor historian asked him to describe what he was wearing, etc. and realized exactly what battle it was (which was hundreds of years ago). This hypnotherapist, who again was atheist this time, didn’t know what to make of this, and tried to ignore it. Some time later with a separate client the same thing happened concerning her depression, except she started describing being with her “soul group” between lives. This hypnotherapist went on to dedicate his life to finding out more about our lives between lives, documenting thousands of separate cases (without leading questions or anything of the sort). The most incredible thing is the continuity in what all of them said. It’s absolutely incredible. For those of you who know how powerful & consistent deep hypnosis is, this is an amazing read. It’s called “Journey of Souls”
This is not even new concept in Western society. The knowledge is fragmented in different ways. Unfortunately a lot of it falls under bad names of occult. Another way of looking at it is that cells has memories. You DNA has remnants of your ancestors You culture is the cultivation of previous lives. And you are a cultivation of your culture Etc etc...

@Private El We Vishnu a Merry Christmas! 🙏🏻 Krishna or God is absolutely going to be met up with at the end of the material body for everyone, atheist or believer. As far a experiencing "we are not our body", it could be an unsolved challenge, unless one takes the practical approach..... the change of body EVEN IN THIS LIFETIME is pretty obvious. We had an infant body that changed to a youth body, then middle age, etc. But think deeply if we ourselves feel we are not the same person? No, in fact we can remember some of our past body pastimes, traumas, dramas, relationships, and then understand how our tiny soul has activated our body all along. It has been with us. There is no school, college or university in human society to study the soul. We try all our lives to study the material body. That's why we are do conditioned and confused about how to handle higher wisdom. It's a gradual process. Don't worry too much, if you just give it some attention you'll get the mercy.

For those people who say "I don't believe in Karma" you are unknowingly saying that you don't believe in what you do or what you are doing. Your Karma clearly means "your Doings"
I agree. But in the west Karma has gotten a different meaning. Their understanding of Karma is, "u do bad things and bad things will happen to you". Idk how this explanation spreaded but that's not Karma is. So they are not wrong that much if you think about it. 😅 Since their definition is twisted.
@@alihindustani3374 that is an inherent property of the reality we live in. Being a terrible person in whatever form you can think of almost always results in undesirable consequences in one way or another for said person.
What you’re trying to say is that the western definition of karma is ridiculously dumbed down. Yet it it is still, for _most_ intents and purposes, correct.
@@samuelsmall991buddy why’re you challenging the OGs? You think you know what karma means better than those Hindu Indians who’ve spoken Hindi language and followed their religion all their lives? Or are you appropriating their culture?
@@ImranKhan-iv8ut They have shared parallel beliefs that have existed side by side, but also differences. I went to study with Monks in India. I have studied Eastern philosophy for the past 17 years There is a reason Hinduism and Buddhism have same roots. In Hinduism, one can follow the Buddha and still be a Hindu. There are many paths to the same ultimate destination. That's the beauty of the Indian philosophiess like Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, they are philosophies and never were these codified doctrines. They all do not seek to convert because that concept only exists in Abrahamic religions like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. That's why I left Christianity. That's also the reason my wife left Islam. We both practice a Hinduism and Buddhism philosophies. It has brought us much peace. This is also why much of the world is also adopting the Eastern philosophies of thinking. They are more about introspection and spirituality. 🕉️
@@bigdogstatus83 Yes I'm aware of it. I'm an Indian and also an ex-muslim. I study Philosophy and Literature. And coincidentally I'm studying religions deeply currently.. I do agree about the freedom of choice and acceptance of plurality within Hinduism. But what I was pointing to is that the very existence of Buddhism and Jainism (also Sikhism) came about by rejecting Vedas and the excessive focus on rituals and sacrifices that dominated Hindu world. I am reading Gita and Upanishads currently, and it has amazing and profound insights into the nature of reality and humans. Rich philosophical thoughts, indeed. And yes Buddhism and Hinduism do have parallel thoughts, but so do Platonism and many other Philosophies/sets of beliefs that have existed throughout time and space in history. It has to do with the nature of human and human thought and inquiry. It is the very core of Perennial Philosophy so it makes sense why there are similarities. But it is still true that Buddhism and Jainism were unorthodox/atheistic as they opposed the dominance of Vedas and Hinduism.
@akshay Viswambharan Exactly! Those religions have been the cause of bloodshed for generations! That is why I follow eastern philosophies of Hinduism and Buddhism.
@@ImranKhan-iv8ut I agree with you brother. I would say that many Indians and Hindus also reject the ritualistic and dogmatic practices. Many just practice the deeply introspective and spiritual nature of Hinduism. I have many Indian friends that don't care for the exterior layers and only believe in the philosophical teaching.
Speaking for myself , regardless of the negative that any human has, JR has contributed in a positive direction in my life. The fact that the conduit is this little screen that I have been able to learn so much that i would never would of been able to at any other point in time is amazing.

Wow!... I've never seen anyone tell these ideas without using the words and usages with which these concepts are taught and understood. The man's a legend.

I have met dozens of people who had told me that this interview had changed their life. They began to watch Wisdom of the Sages after hearing Raghu on Joe Rogan and now so many of them love sober lives and find themselves living with purpose.
I had a very near death experience too long to go into. I was in a coma for almost a month and I saw beings that were telling me "there is nothing to be afraid of" and "you can be reborn if you choose too" they said i could be reborn in a decade and in that place it would seem like minutes.
I think you do come back as your same life and that’s what dejavu is, you remember things you did wrong in your past life that affect you in the future and if you remember it as it happens it means you did it wrong again (let me add that u come back in a parallel universe)
@Change MyMind i can agree but it’s just a theory, your right tho, and joe does it sometime too when he’s not educated on a subject like dmt, it’s not linked to another life it’s based off of what your mood is going into it, kind of like before u have a dream and the dream is really weird or scary depending on your mood and state of mind, because small amounts of dmt is how u dream and hallucinate when u sleep, smoking dmt is amped up version
@Change MyMind everything I mentioned was from certain joe rogan podcasts, when scientists and doctors came on, it’s just an opinion i dont know if that’s all true, look it up and see
Let me debunk your hypothesis with one simple argument. I make a lot of stupid mistakes and wrong decisions, both knowingly and unknowingly. Clearly I'm not doing things right and if I've lived this same life before then chances are I've not done things right before that's why I'm here again, innit? But I don't experience a deja vu whenever I do something wrong. There are some legitimate scientific theories about why we experience deja vu. Sure they have not certainly concluded that this is it but they are at least closer to reach a valid conclusion than connections with past life's memories and glitch in the matrix kind of mumbo jumbo.
I know joe wont read this so for everyone in the comment section, *Ragunath brother you left some details, Loka are not planets they are subtle realms of existence:* 1.karma is not the accumulation of the deeds of single life 2.your constitution at default along with your environment determines your karma 3.the ultimate benefit of karma is not riches but happiness and union with the god and escape from birth and death (God is formless non agent and agender) 4.God being the intelligence that governs the universe and not a man in the sky 5.we are stuck in materials world , yoga gives us freedom from the material attachments and then makes us capable of having a happy life and take from nature only what is needed. the journey is not karma.
@William White i under stand what you mean, in yoga the deeper we go into practice we reach a stage called ''yoga'' meaning union with nature and ultimately god. what that means is a yoga will see god in every human and even in rocks(IE we are all part of one) etc hence harming or even hurting feelings without just reasons is seen as bad karma. So, theoretically if every one only did with with proper reasons and good in their heart that would be dharma. but people are stuck in their situations to rise above these constrains we would need to sacrifice a lot we cant , at-least we all cant hence we are full of $hit. The aim of yoga is to put dharma and selflessness in people and dissolve their ego.
@@braydenjensen6059 another benefit is we have the capacity to do good like no one else on this planet isnt it? in yoga we see as everyone having good in them only if the biological make of that person bars him from being good like some mental illness ( we a say thats is a price of his past karmas) and is impermanent unlike heaven and hell
@William White 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yoga isn't restricted to meditation n exercises its in everything .. what u eat, how u speak,what u wear, ur tone , what u believe ,how u walk sing run bla bla ... Yoga in doing things the way it is supposed to be done. As far as insects n rock is considered they r also following yoga as they r doing what an insect or a rock is suppose to do. Human intelligence has deviated us far from the actual path thats why we need yoga but Animals don't.🙏
Joe needs to travel and see poor people with nothing that smile wider than he does with all his things and clout. He has a misunderstanding about what the human spirit really is and how joy works. It's relative. If anything, being in America makes it harder to be happy. There are more contingencies and more things we have to "achieve" before the America ego will feel at ease.
Agreed. He doesn’t realize how 85-90% of people live on the planet. Joe is on the upper 1%, and although I don’t doubt he works hard for it, a lot of people do that too, but suffer immensely. When he said he had bad moments too, I wonder if he understood what bad could really be.
I agree, monkeys are overall more happy than humans, when monkeys sleep in a tree eating only bananas. Humans in the west are too privileged, spoilt and entitled. Humans in the east are trying to catch up to the wests rat race. Yes it's nice coming home to technology and a bed but if you weren't introduced to it then you wouldn't care about it.

Joe, I can see your skepticism and I hope this can help you. I did a past life regression two years ago that forever changed my life and my outlook on it. It explains "why" for so many things....why I don't like soups/stews, why I love corduroy, why I hate technology, why I have the connection I do with horses, why I'd rather wear anything but a dress, why I feel so alone, and so much more that pertains to karma. It was the most surreal sense of "knowingness" that I have ever experienced.
