Thank you for this video! Since my mother passed I’ve been so spiritually lost and have felt a calling to research Hinduism.

Bhakti is so ingrained in us. That it just happens every day. And yet it takes at least an hour a day. We skip other things now to do our bhakti. It is so ingrained in our family❤

After I went through depression I felt spiritually lost. Thank you for this ❤

Awesome explanations and video!
And yes, 🕉 Hinduism is really more of a "Way-of-Life" teachings than a typical "religion".
It is better to educate oneself to enrich one's life than to be ignorant of the universal forces that affect us and become stagnant in life and beyond. Learning & fixing mistakes now will benefit this life and especially the next, until you attain Moksha (liberation from the rebirth cycle).
Jai Shree Krishna 🙏

Is there a version without the backing music?

[AshwinSriram]

Excellent presentation. It really gives a simple and succint understanding of the basics of Sanathan Dharma. I really appreciate the effort and clarity conveyed through the video. I shall share this video with friends. My only (mild) criticism is that you have described Sanathan Dharma as "Eternal Religion" whereas the word Dharma actually has a much deeper meaning in this context. I understand it is difficult to translate Dharma and its nuances in a short video without going into the subject of Rta (Cosmic Order or Natural Order), but it would be better not to equate Dharma with religion as that can lead to certain misunderstandings which are already prevalent today.

shatakoti punyas to you, you opened gates of Hinduism, is there written form of this content?

[JohnBarfield-qwbh]

I want to become an hindu practitioner. Any tips?

[sharmilakalain]

Very nice, just background music is too loud. Also, use of word god needs to be dropped and word bhagawan to be explained from outset and to be used. Baie dankie for lovely video.

Why Hindus in India and Indonesia have different festivals, different feast days?
