Did Hinduism talk about evolution? No. Here's why

Sadhguru is one of the big propogators of the Myth that the Hindu God Vishnu’s 10 avatars is a description of the evolution of life.

Testing out Super Thanks! It's finally here folks, now you can send comments this way(by clicking the "thanks" button below the video) and I will definitely read and respond!

[shirishadhikari]

from being blind bhakat of Sadhguru to questioning whatever he says and using my own intelligence, long journey travelled.

[ashirbadthapa]

15, 000 years ago, Adiyogi had a personal one-to-one meeting with Sadhguru where he exchanged certain scientific ideas with the latter.

Don't try to mix culture and science
If i want to celebrate Holi, diwali, navaratri i will do that that is my culture but i will never try to prove that it's scitific

[sai_]

Nice video. I've been educating (bullying) pseudoscientists in the comments for a while now. Thank me later!

[manikmehta]

Person-1: Our religion is scientific
And also that very person: Science is not everything. It doesn't answer everything

Pranav, can you please make a video debunking 'crystal healing'? People just spend thousands of bucks buying these crystals for 'energizing their aura' and what not. There's no problem in wearing them as jewellery (coz they are just pretty-looking rocks), but marketing crystals as they could solve your life problems is just beyond me.

Jaggi gets away with his bluffing because his English diction is good. People confuse intelligence with English proficiency.

Every religion claims that they have the ultimate knowledge of evolution, but the depiction of Dinosaurs is not in any religious books. If they know all then how did every religion missed this important phase??

[samsuddinhussain]

Man do u know how much relaxing it feels to be with logical people in ur comment section.
Its rare to find such people these days.

Dus Avatar is part of
Vishnu Purana which was written between 400 BCE to 900 CE, that's the General Consensus (some historians say it has roots in the 1BCE, but the Vishnu Purana's current format was written between 400 BCE to 900 CE).
One thing is for sure, Vishnu Purana WAS NOT WRITTEN in the Vedic Period ie 1900- 1400 BCE.

The 10 Avatars are not constant, especially the 8th, and the 9th Avatar. The 8th, and the 9th Avatar change from region to region.

The most important thing is they've Strong Mesopotamian influence, that's because they were written post Khushan invasion.

Half of such dhongi babas' fan-following would vanish only if someone handed out a class 10 science NCERT to the audience before the 'spiritual dimensional quantum' talk starts

[reginaldpooftah]

Jaggi when science does not support woo woo: Modern science is still light years behind

Jaggi when it does : There is substantial scientific evidence to prove this!


Also he keeps mentioning "University of California" for supporting inner engineering. What is University of California lol they have specific locations like UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, UC San Diego UC San Francisco, UC Riverside etc. and people always refer to the location while talking about where they study/teach. Nobody just says "University of California"

Hindus just randomly decided to put Buddha in their Dashavatar when he himself rejected Vedas.

[ex.hindu.now.atheist]

I strongly feel that *there is a MAJOR FLAW* in the claim that the DashAvatara mythology "represents the evolution of life forms on the Earth, even if it does so only in a symbolic manner".

*Even during the very 1st avatara as a fish (i.e., Matsya), human beings were already in existence in the DashAvatara mythology.*
In fact, it is the human sage Manu whom the fish (i.e. Matsya avatara of Vishnu) approaches, seemingly to ask for protection.

So, if evolved human beings—so evolved that the human beings included a wise, civilised man such as the sage Manu—were ALREADY present during the very 1st Avatara, it seems highly incorrect to claim that the DashAvatara mythology accurately represents the evolution of life (even if it is only in a symbolic manner).

His last line, ” if u r a sadhguru fan, then don’t forget to hit that dislike button ..” was dope🤟

[rahulbhandari]

Hi. I am a student of Geology and it was lovely to watch you provide an overview of the subject. Science is Dope!

[pratiksharma]

After finding a person who thinks critically and logically, my life is complete. Hats off to you and your work! Keep it up👍

[sharwari]

Sadhguru is trying to draw a parallel between Hindu mythology and theory of evolution but not necessarily true. Religious people mostly don't believe in Darwin's theory. They think the world has roots in their religion. How will you make people believe in Science, that's something to be thought about. Pranav, you need to expand the base horizontally, form a close knit community for scientific literary. Loving your work!

2:03 Bro really tried to tell us that boars are hard to take down because their class gives them extra hit points. 💀
