00:01It has been many years since the Indian Culture and Begging Abolition Act was passed, but begging continues unabated almost everywhere in India.
00:12and is given with reverence everywhere to people seeking merit.
00:18These beggars enact various forms of impersonation to arouse people's compassion.
00:26Hindus offer alms not only out of influence but also because they are influenced by the rituals of Hinduism.
00:35Let's do this
00:47And among the 16 rites considered for Vaishita, there are 3 rites namely Upanayana, Vanaprastha and Sanyas.
00:55So the lesson of begging is taught.
01:19In both there is an order to adopt the vow of begging.
02:15If you don't do it, life will not go on.
02:17How should a person of which caste call out while begging and from whom should he start begging first?
02:24I have done it.
02:49Nivedhya Gurvesh is the main Shuchiya in Niyadhach.
03:28The alms collected by begging in this manner should be placed before the Guru without hiding any valuable item.
03:35Eat it after getting relief.
03:49Things received as alms.
04:23Manu has said.
04:24Bhaikshena vratino vrittir upvasa sama smrita.
04:28Manu two divided by 188 means that the result of eating by begging is like fasting.
04:38Elsewhere in Manu Smriti itself, begging for food has been declared equivalent to drinking Somarasa.
04:50After verse 188 of Manu Adho, that is, eating by begging is a virtuous act like drinking Somarasa.
05:01It is clear from these rules that the religious scholars, like professional beggars, are celibate i.e.
05:11He was very careful in teaching the student to beg.
05:15He was aware that if the brahmachari did not have to listen to anyone on begging on the very first day, then he
05:22A person can become educated and stop begging.
05:26Now he has made a rule to beg on the first day from those people who do not refuse.
05:33Maham Ho Padhyayada Pandurang Vaman Kane has written that there should be no hesitation in giving alms to a brahmachari.
05:42It was possible because by doing so, the virtues generated by the good deeds, the virtues generated by Yajya etc., the virtuous children, animals, spiritual fame etc.
05:51Half of it gets destroyed.
05:54History of Dharma Shastra, Volume 1, Page 224.
05:59After the first day, the brahmachari should beg for alms according to the following rules.
06:34That is, Jitendra Brahmachari should daily beg alms from the houses of those who study Vedas and perform five Mahayagya and are virtuous in their work.
06:42Ask.
06:44He should not beg from his Guru's family, his own caste members, and his maternal uncles, aunts, etc.
06:51If you do not find any other house where you can beg, then you should beg from your relatives.
06:56In their absence, beg alms from people of his own caste and in their absence, beg alms from the Guru's clan.
07:03But avoid the houses of the great sinners and do not beg from them.
07:08compulsory begging
07:10Begging for alms is said to be so essential for brahmacaris and students that there is a provision for punishment for abandoning it.

08:07The same thing is said in Baudhayana Dharmasutra 1 February 1924 and Vishnu Dharmasutra 28 Batabavan
08:16Just as the Upanayana ceremony is important in the religious life of Hindus, so is
08:24What is the importance of Vanaprastha Sanskar after Grihasthashram?
08:29Swami Dayanand, in his book Sanskar, quoted a verse from the fourth section of Jabalop Nishad in the name of Shatpath Brahman.
08:37It is written in the Vanaprastha Sanskara chapter of Vidhi
08:42Brahmacharyaashram Samapya Greehi Bhaveda Greehi Bhutva Vani Bhutva Pravarjed
08:47Ek Shatpath Brahmane
08:50That is, it is appropriate for humans to end the Brahmacharya Ashram and become householders.
09:09Manu has written that when a householder finds the skin of his body shrunken, hair grey and
09:16Look at the face of your grandson and then enter the Vanaprastha Ashram.
09:21Alms of Vanaprasthis, even for Vanaprasthis there is a rule to eat by begging, detailed orders regarding alms are given in Manusmriti.
09:32While giving it, it has been said, Tapase Shve Vipreshu Yatrika Bhaiksha Maharet, Grahamedhishu Chaneshu Da
09:54That is, for the sake of subsistence, a Vanaprasthi should beg from other Vanaprasthi, one beggar should beg from another, and when they are in need,
10:04The forest dwellers ate by begging from other householders; in the absence of forest dwellers, the village
10:11They would bring alms in leaves, bowls, or by hand and eat. After Vanaprastha, the order of Sanyasa Sanskara comes.
10:20This is the first ceremony before the final one. Sanyasis hold a highly respected place in Hinduism. This is why this ceremony is so important.
10:31The importance is clear.
10:33Manu says vaneshu cha viharita tyaivan tritiya bhaga mayush hai chaturtha mayusho bhagan tyaktva sangan parivarjet Manu 6
10:45Divided by 33, that is, spend one-third of your life in the Vanaprastha Ashram in this way and spend the fourth part in everything
10:54Vishy
10:54Give up and take up renunciation. It is said in Sankarchit Smriti. Vanvasa Durdhvan Shantasya Parigat Vyasah Parivrajyam. i.e. Vanaprastha
11:06After this, in old age, one should calmly embrace renunciation. Almsgiving for Sanyasis. Renunciation
11:21Manu has written giving the recipe to the monk for begging alms.
11:57Every day the sannyasi should go out to beg for alms. Another religious scriptural statement is that the first thing that should be done on the sannyasi's hand is the water,
12:06Then give alms later and again soon. Even a little alms given in this manner becomes as huge as a mountain.
12:12She goes.
12:13And the water given in this way gives the same result as donating the ocean.
12:18Yatihaste jalan dadyat bhiksha dadyat punar jalam.
12:22Bhaikshma Parvat Mataran Syat Taj Jalan Sagarukman.
12:27Parashar Smriti one by fifty-three.
12:30Narada says that a monk must perform six tasks like begging for alms, just like an ordinary person.
12:38Follows Rajagya.
12:40Bhikshaat Nam Dutyaani Shadetani Sarvata Nirpandavat.
12:45Dharmasindhu Pristha quoted on 1003.
12:49Parashara has called those householders religious criminals who do not give alms to the Sanyasis and Brahmacharis.
12:57Yatischa Brahmachari ca Pakvanan Swamina Wubha Tayoran Namdattva ca Bhuktva Chandrayanan Charet.
13:07That is, both the Sanyasi and the Brahmachari are entitled to alms of cooked food.
13:14The sin of the person who eats food himself without giving food to these two is removed by observing Chandrayan fast.
13:22In Shukla Paksha, gradually reduce the food intake by one morsel per day and remain fasting for the fifteenth day.
13:29Starting from the first day of Krishna Paksha, one morsel of food should be eaten and gradually increasing it by one morsel till the thirtieth day, complete the diet.
13:36To have a meal.
13:38This is the cycle of the month, almost the same thing is said in Sooth Sanhita Janyoga section 4-15-16
13:47Alms in other religions
13:49It is not that only in Brahmanical Hinduism begging is considered as a means of livelihood.
13:56has been adopted in
13:57The midday almsgiving has been prescribed equally for the monks of all three sects: Jain, Buddhist and Brahmin.
14:06There is a notable difference in the conduct of Buddhist and Jain monks.
14:11Both have similar views regarding regular begging.
14:17Jain Shravan has to ask for alms bowl from the worshipping householder only.
14:23See Society and Religion during the Buddhist period, pages 150, 54, 58
14:29Throwing light on the begging aspect of Buddha, Dabhi Marao Ambedkar in his book Buddha and His Religion
14:37It is written
14:37A monk should have nothing other than these eight things.
14:43Five alms bowls
14:44He should eat mainly by considering it as alms.
14:48He must be a beggar
14:51Almsgiving was the only bond that bound monks and householders.
14:57The monks depended on alms and the householders gave them alms.
15:02Were
15:04Page 336-338 A person who was initiated into Buddhism was called a monk.
15:12Even today, Buddhists who do not live a householder's life are called monks.
15:18It is strange that he is named after some high doctrine of Buddhism or some other religious teaching.
15:27The classification has been done not on the basis of begging but only on the basis of their method of obtaining food.
15:33As if he is the essence of Buddhism, the monk who eats by begging is some noble religious teaching.
15:40Instead of this, it is like glorifying parasitism.
15:46Just as Buddha means knowledgeable, similarly on the basis of some special quality of wisdom or Buddhism, its
15:53It would have been more appropriate to name full-time workers.
15:58The word monk makes it seem as if begging is the main thing and everything, and nothing else.
16:06begging for sustenance
16:08It is not religiously permissible to beg for alms merely to sustain one's life, but it is permissible to beg for other purposes.
16:17is also valid
16:19Various religious scriptures have made provisions on this subject, for example, some of the following places can be seen.
16:28Apastamba Grhyasutra says that alms can be sought for the following purposes: for the Acharya, for one's marriage
16:35For, to perform yagya, to protect parents, to remove the omission of duties of a worthy man
16:42For
16:42For these purposes, people should give alms as per their capacity.
17:19Manu says that the Guru begs for alms to satisfy the hunger of his servants and wives and to worship the gods.
17:42Four divided by 252 is equal to one divided by 216, that is, wishing to earn his livelihood, Sarvada should beg for alms from the gentlemen.
17:53Manu has also said that begging by the following nine types of people is also in accordance with religion.
17:59Vishwajit, a traveler who is willing to marry and perform yagyas for the sake of children, who has donated all his wealth in yagyas.
18:07Willing to feed the teacher and parents, patient willing to study, food and clothing.

18:30Here, Manu has given permission to beg for alms to the travelers besides those who want to marry for the sake of children.

18:41Mahabharata Shantiparva 165.1.2
18:46By saying this in Mahabharata, even the knower of all the Upanishads or Vedas has been given the freedom to beg.
18:54The above mentioned rules are also found in other religious texts.
18:58Like Yagya one divided by 216 Gautam Dharma Sutra five nineteen twenty Angira Smriti Grihasthratna Kar etc.
19:06Not only food grains, but also metals etc.
19:10In begging, it is not only the law to ask for food grains, but gold, silver and gems can also be asked for and given.

19:23Vasishtha
19:24Gautam Dharma Sutra states that a householder should chant the words Swasthi, Kalyan, and give alms every day to a beggar.
19:32But first water is poured and then alms are given.

19:52स्वस्त्यस्थ्विति स्स्त्विव चनमुक्त्वा भिक्षोर हास्ते पुर्वमापो दत्वचेती
19:56Manu and Yadhyavalkya have instructed householders to give alms with respect.
20:04Bhikshacha bhikshave dadayat vidut brahmacharine.
20:08Manu three by ninety-four
20:12That is, give alms to celibates, monks and beggars in a proper manner.
20:30While tempting householders with the promise of virtue, Manu has said that the householder who lives according to the law
20:37One who gives alms gets the same merit as one gets by donating a cow to the Guru.
20:44Yat punya phalma proti ga datva is the methodical guru, tat punya phalma panoti bhiksha datva is dvijogri itself.
20:51Manu three ninety five
20:54Madhvacharya wrote around the fifteenth century.

21:08Shankardig Vijay 14 Batachi Aanve
21:12That is, the one who gives alms gets half of the good deeds done by the one who takes alms.
21:17It is said in the Smritis that the fruit is obtained automatically.
21:24devotion to alms
21:26Just as the words of these scriptures have made Hindus devoted to alms for centuries.
21:33Similarly, various incidents from Puranas, Ramayana, Mahabharata etc. have helped in making begging blameless and religious.
21:42These incidents are still narrated and repeated with great emotion.
21:49The following instances may be pointed out as examples:
21:54It is mentioned in the Bhagavata Purana that when Indra asked Dadhichi Muni for his body, he gave up his life with a thousand souls.
22:02have given up
22:02Maghavan Yaat Bhadaram Vo Dadhyanch Mrishi Sattamam Vidyavartam Tapah Saran Gaataran Yachat Machiram
22:1069-51 And Bhiyachito Devrish Ratharvano Mahan Modman Uvachedam Prahassaniv Bharat
22:186-10-2 आवं क्रित्व्यावसितो दध्यात दौत डा आयतरवानस्तनुम् परे भागवती ब्रह्मन्यत्मान सन्नेयन जहो
22:286-10-11 Meaning: May Indrak bless you, you are now with the sage Dadhichi.
22:36Go
22:37Ask him for his body which is extremely thin due to the influence of knowledge, devotion and penance.
22:43don't delay
22:46Thereafter Indra and other gods went to Mahatma Dadhichi and asked him for his body.
22:54Dadhichi Muni, having determined to establish the unity of the soul with the Supreme Being, left his body.
23:01Karna's donation
23:02This story is told about Karna that whenever he asked for alms, he never disappointed the Brahmins.
23:10did not do
23:11He could even give his life
23:14Keeping this promise in mind, Indra disguised himself as a Brahmin and stole his armour and earrings.
23:22As a result, he was killed by Arjuna in the Mahabharata war.
23:27Yasmin Kale Japannaste Dhiman Satya Prakram Hai Nadeyan Brahmane Shvasit Tasmin Kale Mahatman Hai
23:35Tamindro Brahmno Bhutva Putrarthe Bhootbhavan Hai Yayache Kundale Veeram Kavachan Sahangjam
23:42Utkritya Karno used to coil Hydadat Kavacham
23:46Mahabharata Adiparva 167, 142, 145
23:52That is, whenever Karna used to do it
23:54At that time there was nothing that he could not give to the Brahmins if asked for it.
24:00Indra disguised himself as a Brahmin and approached Karna to ask for his birth armour and earrings for his son Arjuna's victory.
24:08Karna plucked them from his body and gave them to him.
24:13Although Karna had been informed in advance by Surya that Indra was going to deceive him by posing as a Brahmin.
24:20will come
24:21And if he gives them to her, she will die.
24:25And drinking it, he gave his life to protect his vow of not letting the beggar go disappointed.

24:50Alms in Valmi's Ramayana
24:53A beggar can go everywhere freely.
24:56At the time of Ravana's abduction of Sita, a Brahmin monk went disguised as a beggar.
25:01And Sita treated him well as a guest.
25:05Because it is impossible to ignore a monk dressed as a Brahmin.
25:09Ramsya Tvantaran Prep Surdashagrivast Dantre Upatsthe Chab Vaidehi Bhikshurupen Ravanah Dwijati Veshen Hi Tandrishtava Ravanamaktam Servertiti Satkareh Poojyamaas Maithili
25:22impossible mudvishtha mupai darshanat
25:32Tulsi has explained this incident of alms and beggars very clearly and it is widely known.
25:40she has written
25:42Saw Dashakandhra in the middle of nothingness, came near the sage's vekha
25:46He used many tricks and went to beg for alms.
25:51Ravana says listen beautiful lady, don't beg for alms wise lady
25:56Rekha Landhi's head came out
26:00Ramcharit Manas Aranyakanda
26:02That is, when Ravana saw the deserted place in the meantime, he came near that hut in the form of a monk.
26:11He spoke cleverly in many ways and begged him
26:17Ravana said, O beautiful lady, you are clever, listen to me.
26:21I am a Sanyasi, I do not accept fixed alms, then Sita came out of the line drawn by Lakshman.
26:30This is what Ravana wanted, he wanted to cut her and fly away with her.
26:36Importance of alms
26:39Begging has been so important in our country that a house from which no one begged for alms was considered very low and
26:46was considered reprehensible
26:48Manu has said that one should not beg from the houses of great sinners.
26:53two by one hundred and eighty five
26:56Under this influence, Adi Shankaracharya cursed his relatives and said, I curse you
27:05that the monks will not beg from your houses
27:09शाशाप स्वियजनान सरोझा यतिना न भवेच्छ भिक्षा
27:18When Shankar reaches Mandan Mishra's place, he threatens him in a similar manner.
27:25Bhaiksya Prakurve Yadi Vaddit Suta
27:28The same eight by forty-five
27:32That is, if you explain the scriptures to me, only then will I beg for alms from your house, otherwise not.
27:39When Shankara goes to a poor Brahmin's house to beg for alms during his studies, the Brahmin woman's ability to give alms
27:48She talks about her birth being wasted because she doesn't exist.
28:04Linguistic research is also very helpful in understanding the importance of begging in our culture.
28:13In our country, the word for food shortage, which is nowadays called 'Akal Padhna' in Hindi, is used for thousands of years.
28:21The word that is prevalent is famine, similarly the word 'Subhiksha' for abundance of food grains has been prevalent for thousands of years.
28:30Now, the entire chain of government general stores has also been renamed Subhiksha.
28:36However, everything from there is available only after paying the full price.
28:42Is this not another proof of our blind fascination with alms?
28:48The word famine is used in Manusmriti.
28:51Yadrashtaran Shudra Bhurishtha Nasti's Revolution Madvijam
28:57Vinashatyashu Tatkritsana Durbhiksha Vyadhi Peditam
29:00manusmriti eight by twenty two
29:04That is, the state which is full of Shudras and atheists.
29:07Where there are no Brahmins
29:09He perishes due to famine, food shortage and diseases.
29:15However, this word in the above meaning was prevalent much before Manusmriti.
29:21That an ancient verse is quoted in the grammar Mahabhasha written in the 1st century
29:27In which it is said that if the lightning flashing in the sky is white then there is a famine.
29:35Durbhikshaya Sita Bhavet
29:37Mahabhashya
29:38The word Subhiksha is found in Valmi's Ramayana in the context of the description of Rama.
29:45written by Valmi Ki
29:47Kale Varshati Parjanya Subhiksha Vimala Disha
29:52Uttarakand 99 keep dividing
29:55That is, in the kingdom of Rama, the clouds used to rain on time.
29:58It was always good
30:01There was never a famine
30:03Begging is a social evil
30:05Although these words have the meanings of good times and bad times
30:09have been prevalent for thousands of years
30:11And P, their literal meanings are related to alms.
30:15Of the four ashramas of Hindus, three were beggars.
30:21Apart from these, many other people like Pathik etc. lived on beggars.
30:26When all these people could easily get alms
30:30that is, it was Subhiksha
30:32At that time it was believed that there was sufficient food in the country.
30:36When they had difficulty in getting alms
30:39when there was famine
30:41At that time it was believed that there was a food shortage in the country.
30:45It is clear that the measure of prosperity or famine in our country has been almsgiving.
30:53All these rules, orders and stories have inculcated the tendency towards begging in our blood.
30:59filled with a uniquely generous and noble spirit
31:03Also, we are not convinced by the superstition that giving alms brings blessings and that we will receive many times more in the next life.
31:11Vashi is a ghost
31:13So instead of seeing social evil and national loss in rearing idle people, we understand that we have
31:20He has done a very good job and instead of looking at the idle people with disdain, we understand that this is a philanthropist.
31:28They are great men because they have given us
31:30An officer has been appointed to receive the reward
31:34In such a situation, if the Beggary Abolition Act remains closed in the books
31:38So what's the surprise?
31:40Human dignity lies in the fact
31:43That a person should not beg before anyone, but should work and earn his living.
31:48This is possible only if we leave the trap of religion and the afterlife and follow the idle ones.
31:55That is, stop giving alms and stop the inactive, altruistic and freeloaders who have become a burden on the society by working hard.
32:03Force them to learn to earn their living
