The Corpus Of Itihasa Purana | Bibek Debroy | Valmiki Ramayana |  

SO much knowledge i missed. I wish i was not focused on branded clothing and gadgets while growing up.

I'm dying for the time when these corpus of knowledge will be included in our educational curriculum. How long will we be robbed under the garb of secularism.

If anything, watch his response to the question about Draupadi and polyandry. It is seldom, and indeed a rare gift, when someone can answer a question and simultaneously shut up someone and open their mind at the same time. Kudos!

2:30 Itihas Meaning 5:30 Parvas in Mahabharata vs Kanda in Ramayana 7:40 1240 Mahabharata Sanskrit Versions 11:20 What about Childhood Of Shri Krishna? Harivamsha is described as sequel/ appendix to the Mahabharata 13:30 Why yet another translation? 15:03 Did after Composing Mahabharata, Shri Vyas composed Puranas 16:45 Sanskrit Poetry and Rhyming 17:42 Chhand 1300 hundred different metres in Sanskrit Poetry 25:38 Sanskrit 37:25 🤯 40:27 Manusmriti 45:10 47:40 Puranas 52:40 Draupadi 59:50 Learning Sanskrit

You made me your Fan Sir by just one Speech that too within 20 mins 👍 Truly admire your Research and Understanding of the Mahakavyas and Puranas

Reading translation is futile because it can never convey the 'rasa' 100%. For an Indian to get a grasp of Sanskrit takes much less effort because Indians live the Sanskriti. When I hear an Indian saying that it is difficult to learn Sanskrit, it sounds like a fish saying it is difficult to learn swimming or a bird saying it is difficult to learn flying.

Oustanding! Ordered both his translations of the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. Cant wait to read them. Learning Sanskrit is the next step

What a scholarly discourse! It is a treat to hear this scholar extraordinary.

Bibek Debroy ji thank you so much for clarifiying so many of my doubts with so much of clarity. Every talk of yours is revealing and enlightening us about so many unknown facts. Keep sharing with us all that you are willing to give us so we too can come out of the clouds of agyan. Many a Thanks.

Puranas contain multiple layers of meanings ..for different levels of evolution

To appreciate and acknowledge the rich heritage of Sanatana Dharma, we have to read both our Ithihasas in the original sanskritam and luckily for us they are still available !❤🙏🙏

Simply brilliant. Thank you, Sir.

“I am convinced that everything has come down to us from the banks of the Ganges, - astronomy, astrology, metempsychosis, etc... It is very important to note that some 2,500 years ago at the least Pythagoras went from Samos to the Ganges to learn geometry...But he would certainly not have undertaken such a strange journey had the reputation of the Brahmins' science not been long established in Europe” - French philosopher Voltaire

No wonder students learnt Sanskrit grammar till 25 yrs in gurukul. Sanskrit is very complex, dualistic and tough language to learn . Assimilation and proper perception of Sanskrit is challenging. Proud to be born in India were sanskrit was spoken by our Bhagwan and dieties.

Splendid.... thanks for the video

Thank you organisers for this wonderful talk.

Great talk! Brilliant exposure to various samskrit texts with "itihas". Good introduction to "puranas". Learned speaker deserves applaud.

Few ambiguities: 1.why every historian dates back Ramayan to 500 BCE to 100 BCE,ime they claim valmiki has written it in this time,whereas they claim Mahabharat as 900 BCE,this contradicts the fact that Ramayan happened before Mahabharat. 2.According to historians Vedas were created composed in around 1700 BCE ,Mahabharat in 900 BCE and Ramayan in 500 BCE..it's seems illogocal. I.e vedic era. Out of above facts given by scholars everything can be digested but the fact that Ramayan was composed after Mahabharat can't be digested ,and living of Valmiki in pre-mauryan era can't be digested.

Absolutely stunning info

Excellent talk...

Loved it.

Brilliant and Outstanding!!!

Masterclass indeed!!

Excellent !👍👌

Truly truly great full to your work from heart sir thank you 🙏💙 May the devatas give you dirghayu 🙏

इसका हिंदी अर्थ उपलब्ध होना चाहिए।

What a scholarship Dr Bibek Debroy exhibits !!

Fantastic

I love that Kings had a limited role - so we were kind of Libertarians - so cool! Small government was our preferred mode - no wonder that made us super wealthy as a nation!!

Thank you so much Sir. Truly, a national treasure of information. I have purchased your translation of Bhagawad Purana and Markandeya Purana. I look forward to readimg them. There is of course no easy way to talk about the corpus of Ithihas and Puranas in one hour, but I was hoping you would talk about how to understand and how not to understand Puranas..for example, Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva---were they real or just concepts? Hope you will give more such talks

🤘🤘🤘

আপনার ঋদ্ধ আলোচনা আমাকে শ্রী অরবিন্দ বুঝতে আরো সাহায্য করবে।নমস্কার।

Deep scholarship indeed

👍🙏🙏

I could listen to him for hours. Why don’t we set up a corpus for translating these texts? We could finish the work in a few hundred years or develop AI to translate them

Nice.

Thank you lot of knowledge 😊 U write ur name as bibek n not vivek ..👌👏👍.. impressive sir..

ITIHASA can be written as ITIHAAS and PURANA can be PURAANso that first of all decolonization of Indian mind set is very important. Today internationally inferior or so called Indian Elites call योग (yog) as Yoga they even do not have the ability to take the pure name of any heritage of their own country. 🙏

India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend and the great grand mother of tradition -Mark Twain.

27:50 meaning of Sanskrit words ..

Jai shri Ram

Please make a video on rabindranath thakur's Nobel theft...vn there was a communist goon government in west bengal....

Polyandry still exists in Himalayan regions. Infact, It was a very common practice in bulk of Hill states, ofcourse it is very limited now.

He is doing national service by doing this. Now he is doing Puranas which have never been ttanslated.

I want to ask the organisers and especially Mr. Debroy to shed some lights on whether Ramayana,Mahabharata, puranas were written by one single person or many people

I would have appreciated if the organizers have mentioned to which papers he has contributed articles to, which helps the viewers to go and read them

I love you 💕💕💕

I will be buying all of his books and read. I wish I didn't spend time watching Kyunki Saans Bhi kabhi bahu thi and bollywoods...

Wish you could have spoken for another hour. 👌👌🙏🙏🙏

Started learning Sanskrit just to read these texts

can someone tell me who is "that particular economist" referred to in the last question

Ram krishna mission and these bengalis are the real bengalis

महोदय आपका भाष्य बहूत अच्छा था। पर में शब्द और व्यकरण के बारे में कुछ कहने की चेष्टा करता हूँ। ये सब कवि थे पर इसका ज्यादा तर भाग लोक में भी जाता है। में मानता हूँ बीना व्यकरण के शब्द का मतलब लगाना मुश्किल है। इसीलिए पुराण में लोक दिए है। एक उदाहरण मैं कहता हूँ एप्पल तो bazzar लोक कहेंगे कैसे किलो? पर विज्ञान लोक में कहेंगे मोबाइल। कॉम्प्यूटर लोक में कहेंगे mac। इसका अर्थ है ये शब्द कोनसे लोक में या किस लिए पढ़ा जा रहा है। उसीपर उस शब्द का अर्थ निर्भर करेगा। कुछ गलत हो तो क्षमा करें। धन्यवाद।

Who was the first person who has penned down Ramayan on paper/leaf....?

damn i feel like im in hogwarts.... his english 👍👍👍👍🍻

Pranam....Bharat needs overhauling.

Itihasa-purana is straight from sivhela or Sinhalese. Is Sanskrit an adoptation or vice versa?.

Under 4 Varna, shudra could not be the lower untouchables in case they were highly taxed. Manu Smriti explained by you therefore seems wayward, as bending leftist

Not curlew bird but cranes sarus cranes in the shlok of ramayan

Manu smriti or manu samhita ?

Inside an unused well in the Indian Jungle , there were two lame frogs. They thought that the dark well and the small round blue sky they saw on top was the cosmos. Till one day during unusually heavy rains, the water level of this well came up and both jumped out on to terra firma. Excited they hopped along till they saw two child animals playing football. Immediately one of the frogs cried that the ball was manufactured by his great grandfather and established ownership over it. The hopped along and wherever they went they gave cock and bull croaking stories of how their ancestors literally invented, discovered , built and made everything in the jungle. They were so shrewd and slimy in their approach that very soon even the King lion was made to believe that the deep jungle belonged to these frogs, and lived in psychological subjugation. Blah Blah -- Every fruit tree was planted by our ancestors, every lake was dug by our ancestors ---- Blah Blah - These two frogs are the equivalent of German Friedrich Max Muller, and Englishman Thomas Babington Macaulay. Macaulay under instructions from the Vatican and told Max Muller how to subvert and hijack world history. In one single master stoke he gave the credit of every ancient Indian vedic work in language, Science, Mathematics , Astronomy etc.to the blonde blue eyed Christian white man. The white master race had NOT invented or discovered anything till they came to India, other than what they grabbed from the Arabs which also arab learn from India.As soon the immoral white invader came to India they learnt Sanskrit, stole our intellectual rights patented it in their names and destroyed the originals ( or kept it back after injecting POISON into the originals ). Why should a Master learn the language of a slave ? Bible considers that the cosmos is a few thousand years old. Western historians have been trying to date Rig Veda to 1500 BC ( instead of 5000 BC ) because as per Bible the creation happened in 4004 BC at 9 AM on 23rd October. *Naturally you cannot have a book written before the creation of cosmos , right ?* So they burn all library of world , rewrite world history and prove that before 4004 bc there is nothing happned call it mythology . Bishop Ussher had declared it as the date of creation. The Holy Bible says that the human race began with Adam and Eve. (All nonsense ) Jesus Was never Exist Jesus is fictional character Plz see this video.... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QTmZlckcwMY.html And Vatican has been pressurising all and sundry to disprove Vedic literature that stated in 5000 BC in writing, that the cosmos is 15 billion years old and that the mind and consciousness has to be factored in. Well the advent of quantum physics has proved Bible and Max Mueller wrong. Fake history is weapon of white invaders even they hijack all world history to hide there crime over humanity and with fraud history humans blame over each other and quarrel . Non violent and vegetarian Indian has never attacked any other country till now-- and as a result invaders murdered 90 million Hindus. ,Burn priceless Library and distort Vedic civilization These vulgar white invaders robbed us blind in 250 years , converting India from the richest on the planet to the poorest. They stole our knowledge and patented it in their names. WHY DID THEY LEARN OUR LANGUAGE SANSKRIT WHY DID THEY STEAL PART 2 ( BRAHMANAS ) AND PART 3 ( ARANYAKAS ) OF OUR VEDAS ? ( THESE TWO SECTIONS CONTAINED BASIS OF SCIENCE AND MATH ) Now they want to make fun of our poverty and ignorance? Not any more ! These immoral people never expected an Internet age , right ? They thought they could control the media, the historians and peer reviewed magazines and control everything , right? Wrong !

Where was he all these days 🧐

Watch it in 1.5x.

These books and manuscripts are stolen from Indian libraries and are reappearing in American museums and colleges. #BRINGBACKINDIANGLORY #INDICRENAISSANCE #SUPPORTDHARMA #DHARMAKNOWLEDGEISWEALTH

Right wingers ko kam samjh aayega... Actual work.. Because they only do best is bhagti not chintan

I have not listened to the talks completely, just listened a part. I think, please forgive my language, that Mr. Roy must research a more. It appears that the manner in which he is talking about the upper garment of Ma Sita, he wants to convince it as something like blouse. But that is absolutely incorrect. The actual shlok of VR says: तेषां मध्ये विशालाक्षी कौशेयं कनकप्रभम्। उत्तरीयं वरारोहा शुभान्याभरणानि च।।3.54.2।। The word **उत्तरीयं** uttariyan is translated as "an upper garment worn by either sex and thrown loosely *OVER THE SHOULDERS*". It is something like dupatta. Therefore, read the Sanskrit texts, do not depend on others.

Ye peeke aya hai kya?

The Budhist version of the Ramayana is just part of propaganda literature. Rama praying to the Budha is artistically and schematically unconvincing. The Budha represents only one part of human life , that is moksha Rama is an aviator whose Dharma is kshatriya Dharma.

Sir your Ramayana translation are a bit confusing and misleading . Just saying 🙏

His tone is quite annoying. Other than that, the knowledge is good.

This would be a lot more watchable if he got rid of that ridiculous accent.

With the utmost respect, may i please suggest that such intellectual's qork be preaented by another orator at least? It is extremely jarring to try and stay with the narration (focused) with the stiffest upper-lip vrirish accent and Bengali accent and then no accent that comes and goes. Please do listen to the lecture again, without bias and you woyld see ky point...with such gora saab accent, it just sounds like another white man telling us what, we, our culture and our historical texts are....consider your visually impaired followers. Thanks ans regards Namaste Bharat mata ki jai

I was really looking forward to some information but I found this speaker hard to endure. He keeps shouting at moving around lol

Use 1.75x . Thank me later

As usual this guy is ignorant of value of the Puranas, which are not only history, but also the history of the theology of Sanatan religion. Vishnu Purana is the principle Purana and records who the Kurus replaced Sanatan with Semitic Hinduism and Vishnu with Semitic god Rama (Ramses) by manipulating Ramayan and Mahabharata, after destroying the Yadava tribe of Krishna. Indian people don't care to remember their glorious past.

The Dr. did not do justice to his speech by over dramatising his tone, and shouting into the mike. An unnecessary and quite irritating to hear a one hour lecture. Can't we speak normal on itihaasa..? this overdramatisatoon seems to be very common amongst Indian s

His speaking style is extremely irritating. The over-dramatic raaaaaiiiiisssiiiingg and loooweeerrriningg is really getting on my nerves, and his message is being lost.

He might be great scholar but his articulation skills are terrible. He must work on it to make himself more soothing to ears.
