I really liked it because it’s still inferior to the New Testament all things considered. It is VERY good though and is a great supplementary work that gives a great alternative perspective to Jesus’ teachings. Jesus taught a more robust version of Bhakti Yoga essentially and Bhakti yoga is the most superior form of Yoga. Gita does go into more depth philosophically about certain things though that I did appreciate. Also Krishna BTFOs every wanna be yoga hoe and McMindfulness enthusiast so that was pretty based as well. Over all great spiritual work and I respect anyone who tries to seek the divine through the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It’s right in the cusp of being Interchangeable with The gospel of Christ but is lacking in the realms of the significance of the family and role of parents and gets the afterlife wrong with its insurance upon reincarnation as apposed to resurrection and judgment doctrine.

Actually the higher castes are mix of early Middle eastern (Harrapan) and Aryan blood, because they Indus Valley was was ruled by Neolithic Iranians similar to Mesopotamia. This class ruled over a majority Austro-asiatic population, so when the Arya invaded they incorporated some of the previous elite. That's why high castes will often have paternal dna relating to this original class that is not found among tribal castes or other Indo-Euopean people. I mention this because it's this collision of values that created Vedic spirituality, rather than being a pure Arya dichtomy.

You retards, the "caste system" wasn't hereditary especially during the Vedic times. So most of these scriptures could have been written by men (and women, like a lot of Rig Vedic hymns) of any "caste"/Jati. There was no "caste system" in ancient India. There was only the Varna system and Jati system (cultural and ethnic clans). The Varnas consisting of the 4 occupational classes got turned into the "caste system" in modern times by the British to divide and conquer Indians. In ancient and even medieval India, Anyone could become a Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudras. There were entire kingdoms ruled by Shudra kings who became Kshatriyas.

Where's that from? Anyway caste now isn't they way it was originally formulated. Originally, it was mobile and based not on hereditary but aptitude and culture.

By the South I mean in South India especially among Dravidian war castes. There is the theory that originally the Indus Valley was a Dravidian speaking civilization, since proto-Dravdian is similar to Elamite, a neolithic language from the Zargos mountains. This would explain why some Dravidian, Indus, and Persian groups have large sums of Paternal L. We most likely had a large Dravidian speaking language network from Persia to Southern India, which was presumably only isolated to South India when the Aryans forced their language on the Indus and Iranic populations, despite incorporating them.

It's possible, but I think blood caste was older. This why there was a struggle with Buddhism's rise in early India. They issue was mostly about caste politics, since Buddhism would make the priest class non-hereditary. That's why originally there was high tension between the Brahmins and Buddhist monks. That's also why high trade and economics areas like Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Maldives, and Sri Lanka quickly become majority buddhist while other places barely converted. It was politically advantageous for merchants to be buddhists, since the priest Buddhist priest class held less power (being nonhereditary) and demanded less wealth for rituals, unlike the Brahmins. The struggle between Buddhism and Hinduism shows there was caste politics involved.

Buddhism wasn't exactly anti-caste. The Buddha himself was a 7th generation Kyshatriya. It was more anti-ritualism, something conducted primarily by Brahmins.

>Still waiting on detailed hindu bibliography predating buddhism detailing and being very explicit about how non-duality is the real teaching of Hinduism
The Upanishads that predate Buddha talk over and over about non-dualism, and so do the Upanishads that come after him do too. Before the time of Buddha it was more informal and it was first and foremost concerned with a practice that was esoteric and not widely explained to everyone, and it had not developed into a formal scholastic tradition, that is why large and complex commentaries explaining it don't appear until later.
>and how to get there
Non-dualism is not a place or a state of mind that you 'reach' through meditation, it considered to be an ever-present fact or truth, it's true and already the case even when the mind doesn't realize it.
>and how meditation is the way to go with lots of minutia on how to be good meditator
The Upanishads refute the premise that meditation brings about liberation by stating that liberation happens alone through spiritual realization or knowledge
>and on why the only compendium is from the middle ages by Shankara whereas the theory is supposed to be thousands of years old
There are many texts from centuries before Shankara also talking about non-dualism, like Gaudapada, the Gita, Puranas, the later minor Upanishads, even Bhartrari, there are other texts and thinkers referred to in medieval works but whose writings dont survive.

The Buddha was low key anti caste. There is no caste in the sangha but the Buddha only satirically really challenged the caste system outside of the sangha and didn't really bother trying to overthrow it

For example he once gave a talk about how much better ksitriyas are than brahmins, but only because he knew it was the only way for him to get through to a chauvinistic brahmin. As soon as the brahmin becomes more pliant and open, he starts discussing Buddhism and leaves his satirical argument about caste aside

It wouldn't simply be a matter of having the proper belief or following the proper ritual but being a Brahmin by nature would mean having a sattvic disposition that involves essentially having an inquisitive or intellectual mind that is prone to reflection on spiritual/higher matters, not everyone is going to have this disposition and typically in any society its only a minority, while others by the law of averages will have a mental and emotional constitution that is more fitting of soldiers, merchants or farmers/craftsmen etc.

>>22070630
Beckwith's deconstruction of the existing chronologies and arguments for placing the Buddha is very useful though, after reading that book I was immediately curious how mainstream Buddhist scholars would react to it and found that they were mostly cautiously positive about Beckwith's underlying point that arguments like his are possible, and they are possible because the field is so fucking shitty and people are just re-heating compromise datings nobody has ever really agreed on.

Beckwith's thesis is perfectly plausible as a "what if." Some of his ideas are more farfetched, but if you connect with something like McEvilley's Shape of Ancient Thought, which does a lot of work to establish subtle lines of influence and intellectual continuity in ancient Eurasia, it makes something LIKE Beckwith's thesis inherently plausible. Even if one rejects the thesis specifically. It's not even that far-fetched that a basically Aryan religious perspective inserted itself in South Asian metaphysical discourse, since this is only a modification of the "everything comes from the Indo-Aryan invaders" thesis, and it's only an inversion of the "everything interesting about Indian philosophy really comes from Greater Magadha which wasn't even Vedic" thesis that is now popular (Bronkhorst et al.).

I will say Beckwith's book opened my eyes the same way McEvilley's did back in the day. I was reading Diogenes Laertius again recently and reflecting on just how little we know about Pyrrho. He must have been a Gymnosophist and I think he definitely does provide a window onto Theravada practice at least.

The whole study of Indian philosophy needs a shake-up, now that 20th century Indian nationalism has died down and it's easy to separate 21st century nationalists from pure philosophical study, and simultaneously the western interest in seeing Indian religions as Protestantized Platonism or California hippie new age shit has also died down.

I really don't think so since he veers towards presenting Buddha originally teaching a kind of Phyrrho-like skepticism without any commitment to rebirth etc even though this is explicitly identified in the Pali Canon as one of 6 heretical views which Buddha rejects and says is wrong in the Samaññaphala Sutta.

The linking of "shakya" to "scythian" is itself specious when Shakya already has a meaning in Sanskrit and Pali and so there is no reason to assume it has a foreign origin when it's not out of place in northern India. It's only reasonable to presuppose a foreign origin in the first place if the word is out of place in India and hence inexplicable but it's not in fact.

I don't find Bronkhorst's Magadha thesis to be serious either, the Upanishads very clearly come from circles of Sanskrit-speaking Brahmin intellectuals. They presuppose extensive knowledge of the Vedas, Sanskrit, Vedic deities and rituals; the notion that a semi-foreign group outside of the Vedic system would have written texts that required all of this Vedic knowledge is just absurd, and it becomes even more absurd to imagine elitist and exclusive Brahmins adding passages to their scripture that were written by foreigners when there was such focus on memorization and proper pronunciation and the proper transmission of this to the next generation. Even the style of writing in the Upanishads is halfway between Vedic Sanskrit and it's later formalization by Panini etc, which is exactly what you would expect if it came from Brahmins.

Although the literal meaning of the word varna (Sanskrit: “colour”) once invited speculation that class distinctions were originally based on differences in degree of skin pigmentation between an alleged group of lighter-skinned invaders called “Aryans” and the darker indigenous people of ancient India, this theory has been discredited since the mid-20th century. The notion of “colour” was most likely a device of classification. Colours were frequently used as classifiers; e.g., the Vedic scripture known as the Yajurveda is divided into two groups of texts, White and Black.

Whoops, sorry, I made some typos.

My reading so far of the Bible is that Yahweh is a demon who is playing 4D with MOses, appealing to his ego when he wants Moses to do something and claiming everything unverifiable (such as the creation of the universe) to him without any proof so that he can farm loosh off of his followers*

The actual Gita doesn't say this, only Prabhupada's whacky (mis)translation does

No one uses varna to refer to skin-color. That's raṅga which means to "take on a color" or "become a color"

I am going to make a /lit/ Gita chart that will finally give people an answer as to what sort of one they should read based on what sort of reading experience they want.

The Vedic culture of India was seeded by the Aryans during the liberation of the area from the Kali cult.

These particular Aryans came from the Russian steppes. Vedic culture is white culture.

>Anyway, the Japanese also have a feudal culture despite having no Indo-European ancestry
But they do have ANE ancestry, and Indo-Europeans were 70% ANE. You're correct they have no IE ancestry, but the hierarchical caste system could have predated them.

I'm told that Sanskrit is basically old Russian

"If I were asked what two languages of the world resembled each other most, I would reply without hesitation: 'Russian and Sanskrit.'" "When I went to Moscow, the Manager of my hotel game me the key for Room No. 234 and said 'Dwesti tridtsat chetire'. For a moment I could not decide whether I was standing before a pretty girl in Moscow or I was in Banaras or Ujjain of our classical period of some 2,000 years ago. In Sanskrit 234 is 'Dwishat tridasha chatwar.'" "Here is another Russian sentence; 'To vash dom, etot nash dom'. [That is your house, this is our house] In Sanskrit it is: 'tat vas dham, etat nas dham.'" "How I wished that Panini, the great Indian grammarian who lived some 2,800 years ago, could listen to the language of his own times so wonderfully preserved with the least possible variations in this part of the world. The Russian word "sewn'[syn] is 'son' in English, and 'soonu' in Sankskrit. Also, 'madiy' of Sanskrit may be compared with 'moy' of Russian and 'my' of English. But it is only Russian and Sanskrit in which the possessive pronoun 'moy' and 'madiy' must be changed to 'moya' and 'madiya' because it qualifies the word 'snokha' which is feminine. The Russian word snokha is snukha in Sanskrit and can be pronounced either way. Here the relationship goes beyond the son on to the wife of the son too by similar words in both languages." "The word 'is' is also very similar in both, 'est' in Russian and 'asti' in Sanskrit and yet another 'estestvo' in Russian and 'Astitva' in Sanskrit meaning 'existence' in both."

IVC was dravidian.
there was either an Aryan migration or an Aryan invasion. nothing's conclusive.

is this the "we wuz kangs" for whites? the higher caste was and is Indians you retard. India is not a homogenous society. there's tribabls, dravidians, aryans, and a whole lot of other ethnic groups which have mixed.
the hindu texts have dravidian elements, the aryans intermingled with the dravidians which led to the mahabharata, ramayana, bhagavad gita, etc. the upanishads as well most probably. the vedas consist of songs of praise to hindu deities. the four vedas were written as the aryans delved deeper into the Indian subcontinent. its possible that the vedas didn't have any external influence.
some braindead aryans probably got mad at the intermingling and imposed a caste system based on birth. the pasty skinned people became brahmins, followed by kshatriyas, vaisyas, and shudras. a large part of the Indian society today still consists of the upper castes such as Brahmins and Kshatriyas.
also, proto indoeuropeans had fair skin, black hair, and brown eyes. not the blue eyed blond rhetoric put forward by white supremacists. white people, especially americans and germans callling themselves aryans is the same as blacks saying cleopatra had black ancestry. you're not aryans, get over it.
