A Hindu myself, yet I study western philosophy little bit, this channel is a great introduction to many western philosophers and their ideas about life. Happy to see Hindu way of life shown on this channel.

The way Hinduism aligns its teachings with the demands of society, the body, and the family over time is truly remarkable. It showcases the adaptability and wisdom within the religion, offering valuable insights for navigating the complexities of life 🙏

As a Muslim and trying to learn sanatan dharam i till now got that Hinduism is not a religious in it's originality but its a way of life a guiding principles to live with satisfaction in this single chance of living on Earth. Need to propagate it . Most of the people including Hindus don't know about it's basics . Toleration, love and practicality is what makes it need to spread across the globe. ❤

I learned that the meaning of life depends on where the journey we happen to be on and to be more detailed, it depends on which country and which culture we live in and what happened to us before.

I have been waiting my Whole life for this (Yes, I'm a proud Hindu)

I find philosophies flourished in Sanatan dharma (Buddhism, Jainism, Hinduism, Sikhism) most meaningful, deep and logical than any other religious philosophy.

I love the Hindu religion. When I lived in San Francisco before the plandemic I would go to a small ashram there every Friday night for fire ceremony. It was so peaceful and accepting. A safe cocoon away from all the madness of the world around me. I am definitely in a grihasta phase. It’s beautiful to hear about these (which I haven’t yet). I think a lot of new age spiritualists (like I once was) want to rush into the vanaprastha phase and stay there forever and then come to find they have nothing to support them in life. No retirement fund or money for medical expenses etc. Even though we want to believe those things don’t matter, they do. And we’ll find out sooner or later.
@dhruvpathak8822
Some people enter sanyasa even before becoming a grihasta. This freedom is usually misused by people to run away from their duties and then justify them. However, in some cases, it is a legitimate calling and is still acceptable. One can become a bhramachari even in their 50s. All of this depends on one's Dharma, one's calling of life. This Dharma must be carefully contemplated and diligently defined, and then one does Karma according to Dharma. So, even the stages of the cycles can be reshuffled or skipped, but only after a careful consideration.

Thank you mr de Botton for listening to your viewers and narrating all you videos yourself. Great content gets even better with your voice in it. Thank you
@photomukund
Brahmacharya and Grhsta stages do give life a focus and goal. Mixing these two up (teenage relationships, marriages, parenthood etc) does make things complicated, and a certain linearity in a complex web of life does bring simplicity as well.

I'm a Hindu and Indian. 1:50 children here don't 'leave home'. They take over the functioning of the home under supervision of their parents
@shreyanshpathak629
I am at the grihastha stage but shall be pursuing a professional degree soon. Spirituality seems nice but is not practical for me atm. My energy and responsibilities need me to build a foundation for a family and society to flourish. Would love more content on Hinduism for sure!
@jiteshverma9589
Not only this, while other religions/sects gives one strict way to achieve the ultimate reality, Hinduism gives you six! These are called 6 philosophical schools of Hinduism- Sankhya School of philosophy, Nyaya, Yoga, Visheshika, Mimansa and Vedanta!
@hoseaxciv5580
Alain, thank you! I learn more and more from the School of Life, especially through your narrations. It's deeply enriching.

I am a Hindu. Hinduism gives me answers for all of life's questions. Thank you for this video. ❤

There are many beautiful qualities to Hinduism. What I cannot get over about it is that your Dharma (which is traditionally assigned by caste) is determined by actions in a life you don't remember and can't prove existed. Sure, you can be a super at peace street sweeper, but perhaps you'd be far more fulfilled as literally anything else. What little choice we do have in our lives is where actual morality and meaning come from. Although, a lot of folks feel a lot better without choice. But then is their life really their own?
