Hinduism: Religion Or Way Of Life – Swami Chinmayananda Speaks
Source: - Dharma Raksha Vedi / YouTube Channel
“ISN’T HINDUISM SIMPLY A WAY OF LIFE?” This is a question I am frequently asked at satsang gatherings.

Religious Knowledge Doesn’t Need To Be Transmitted Textually
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tFbVwUqqlU&t=5s
we are a civilization with enormous quest for knowledge. There is no religion like a Hindu religion. It is an entire set of stream of knowledge traditions.

So fundamentally we are knowledge traditions, they are transmitted in many different ways, because knowledge doesn’t have to be transmitted textually.
You teach your son how to ride bicycle. Do you give him book? There are different mechanisms, text can also be a mechanism, but text is not the only mechanism. And it is not certainly the dominant mechanism. Even today humans do not fundamentally learn through texts. Through observation, repetition, emulat
What are the Contents of Agamas?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-EYUBoA7q4
Now every Agama has 4 types of content. One is the Kriya Pada. Kriya Pada are all the rituals, all the practices, everything, like Prana Pratishtha, like offering water, offering Achmaneeyam, doing the mudras, all of those things, everything which can be contained broadly in the category of ritual or spiritual process, that is the Kriya Pada. So Kriya Pada, this classification is actually mentioned in the Kamika Agama itself and at the end of every chapter it says which Pada it belongs to. Now, Pada, by the way, is not ‘step’. It is ‘part’. So, all four, it’s not like you go step by step, not at all. These are 4 parts and all 4 have to be practiced.
Carya is the lifestyle aspects. So for example, when should you take bath, why should you take bat

Establishment of the 4 mutts by Bhagwan Shankaracharya
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2ko_RDhLFc
Bhagwan Shankaracharya knew that after his demise, India will have to face a physical war, ideological war, cultural war. He knew this very well. That is why in order to protect the 4 Vedas he set up 4 Amnaya Mutts in the 4 corners of this country. Amnaya means the Vedas and Amnaya Peetha means Vedic Seat. So, he established 4 Mutts in the 4 directions of India in order to protect the 4 Vedas and the 4 divine abodes of India.

He gave this responsibility to the Uttaramnaya ...
