00:00One of the biggest and most respected colleges here in London, they said,
00:05You are welcome, but Upanishads are not.
00:09You can't let in the Gita. How do I walk in?
00:13They said, but Gita is religious. So what is the problem with that?
00:17No, we are non-religious. This is philosophy.
00:21Vedanta is philosophy that founds the base of self-knowledge.
00:26We are not talking religion here. How to address someone? How to greet someone?
00:30How to pray to gods? That's not the subject matter of Vedanta or Upanishads.
00:34You have no problem going back to Newton or to Kepler or to more recently to Heisenberg or to Einstein.
00:42You have no problems with that.
00:43But you have great problems in going back to Kanava or Kapil or Yagyavalki or Ashtabakr.
00:50How fair is that?
00:51Diversity in cultures is welcome. Diversity in colors is welcome.
00:55Diversity in opinions is welcome.
00:58But the truth is not welcome.
01:03So Acharya Prashant is welcome, but Bhagavad Gita is not.
01:05What else am I here for?
01:07You blocked this thing and you have blocked me.
01:10I am not going to accept the invitation anymore.
01:19I am not going to accept the invitation anymore.
01:19I am not going to accept the invitation anymore.
