On The NDTV Dialogues our focus is spirituality in modern India, focus at a time when the world is gearing up to celebrate International Yoga Day, a sense of pride in ancient Indian tradition but not without accompanying controversy with some political parties saying this is all about propagating ideology. We however expand the dialogue beyond this. We look at why spirituality is trending like never before. Where does the line end between spirituality and religion? Joining us on this, Javed Akhtar, poet, writer and an atheist; Amish Tripathi, bestselling author of ‘The Shiva Trilogy’; Nivedita Joshi, Yoga practitioner; Dr Purushottam Agrawal, former JNU professor; and spiritual leader and founder of Isha foundation Sadghuru Jaggi Vasudev.

lol, bunch of Indians speaking a foreign language haha, and they complain about om and hindi and urdu. haha . they need to get British shackles off their necks.
From confusion to confounmdment; Why do you put up such ignoranc e as brodcast and have ignorant and bacchas to anchor such confusion
The best line in the debate " Anyone who is educated in 20th century is sick if he is religious !
spirituality is something in which nothingness is first requirement, how would peoples with so many doubts against each other on different types of views would gain an exact spiritual path.
spirituality never completely defines everything which only refers an part of humans majority , here in country today , even neighborhood live like indo/pak how would peoples see positivism in what other's do ,instead of everytime searching and pinning what they dont know or nor they can.
first india should learn how to shake hand in an pattern by which if religions were five after shaking hand only two hands others would see. rest all will stay inside heart ,mind or what who was following from five bounded beautifully into two who never gives up.
a sperm has life and also an oven..so there is no single beginning of life and no slot for a soul to enter our body..and tgere is no proif for any soul.
indian classical languages are tamil,telugu,kannada,malayalam and sanskrit
javed akthar is a sick person
First Javed Akhtar should learn to talk without spitting all over the place :p
Persian and Arabic are foreign Languages, Muslims invaded India, they are foreign religions. we have given them place to stay but they are changing the cultural and religious fabric of India. only Hindusim, sikhism, jainism and Buddhism belong to India.
I think sadh-guru needs a psychiatrist, he nvr answers his question…. but divert it to a diff prospect, how simple it wud b if he says its just a physical exercise, if u follow it keeps u hale n hearty…. his views r as disgusting as his beard, plz go take a bath…. n for the love of ur god, dnt speak with tht funny accent of urs, u sounds like a freshy dickhead.
I find javedji more logical than the Shiva trilogy author, who is talking about next life,and what not. at least javedji is not speaking something he doesn't know, his approach is very rational, but sometimes I think we need to get over the basic reasoning to know something which we do not know,and that is why I find sadhguruji the most logical. he says everything with perfect rationalism to it.
Outside barbarian tribes…!!
religio from Latin alludes to become reconnected or reunited with something…. many understand this to be the soul or the divine or the godhead. Words cannot describe such an experience, Religion today is dogmatic, everyone claiming their belief system is the one to follow. beliefs, beliefs, beliefs! one person believes in a god another does not believe, but all are beliefs. We need knowledge, and from that to develop wisdom. Maybe the ancient ones possessed knowledge we have lost, but we will never know. We need to find truth in this time and no longer rely on beliefs and dogmas. Science, like religion is just a label. Science means knowing too, so why don't we just allow everyone to just embark on their own personal voyage of discovery in this life and stop trying to define truth for other people?
Amish Tripathi is a show off. Dodges questions and spouts irrelevant facts.
WTF are these idiots talking. That like Jewish saying German should be taught in Israel.
"Persians" attacked us and ruled us and obviously some words were adopted Nana Patekar should have been here he would have told them the the correct Marathi word for Aamdhar and Khasdhaar.
Peshwa obviously is a Term that evolved under Moghul rule so obviously it will be a Persian word.
Wow Nivedita actually managed to speak more crap than Javed. Om iS not a patanjali prayer to thank the god> WTF is wrong with people.
pls bring somebody else than jawed akhtar .
Anybody who is educated in 20th century and has religious beliefs is a sick person ….. Good one
Has Javed got the guts to call the Mullas and Maulvis as pschizophrenic. He attacks so called indian culture eating the indian pie everyday. Can he dare do the same in Pakistan or in any other muslim country.
naman naman sat guru
Yes Mr. Javed Akhtar, on 8:02 you rightly said YOUR PATRIOTISM IS UNDER QUESTION. Thank you. If you truly leave the country and go to Pakistan, that would be great. States like Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, Bengal, Lakshadweep, Assam, Bihar are plagued by people like you, Muslims were guests in Āryāvarta ("Hindustan", for you in case your ignorance do not let you read Mahabharata), and you bastards killed the hosts and infected this great nation.
HINDU WORD CAME FROM SINDHU. THESE WERE PEOPLE AROUND SIND RIVER BUT AS IN PERSIAN LANGUAGE THERE IS NO LETTER "S" BUT CLOSEST LETTER THEY FOUND WAS "H" SO THEY WERE CALLED HINDU. BUT ITS A FACT FOR WHICH PLACE WHICH THEY WERE NAMED AFTER WAS SINDH WHICH IS IN PAKISTAN N I WILL LEAVE FOR YOU GUYS TO FIND MEANING OF HINDU WORD IN PERSIAN….. ACTUALLY THEY WERE CALLED ARYA SO VASUDEV WHATEVER U SPOKE HERE IS ALL BULLSHIT. I DONT KNOW WHAT HISTORY R WE PROUD OF? R WE PROUD OF HISTORY WHERE WE WERE BEEN RULED BY TURKS OR R WE PROUD OF HISTORY OF BEING RULED BY BRITISHERS OR R WE PROUD OF CORRUPTED POLITICAL LEADERS N SPIRITUAL GURUS FOLLOWED BY INDEPENDENCE OF INDIA.
