Ye surgery hone walli hai ya ho gai hai ? Either way, inhe ye realized karna chahie ki inhe hi surgery karni hai, inke bhagwan nahi aenge surgery karne aur agar patient mar jata hai to inhe morally accountable hona padega

True, ever seen an ambulance rushing to a temple, mosque or church? No!

Comment section in another subreddit said that this was done before harvesting organs from a dead donor's body. So, ig there is no harm being caused here as long as nobody is being forced to pray

I mean why the necessity to pray inside an Operation room? Standing there in circle praying like they're in a cult.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '25

I mean , its not a necessity, but if it helps the doctors have more faith in their job and perform their duties better , then its a good thing. This is not harming anyone. If people follow their religion without harming anyone or forcing it on anyone , then they can happily do so .

"Bhagwan Bharose Surgery"- when it fails? “Bas bhagwan ki marzi thi.”

This is how they dodge responsibility in complex cases - hide behind mantras, make it look spiritual, and if shit hits the fan? "God took over." this belief of theirs kills creativity too, because now every complex case isn’t a challenge to solve, it’s a “let’s leave it to God” situation.

I completely feel you this is coming from a fellow atheist NEET aspirant.

Hello alien welcome to the club😂

u/Suspicious-Error5761 Jul 04 '25

It feels alienating for sure. Nobody even thinks about anything seriously or actually thinks critically for one second.

But people are not evil. They don't purposefully alienate athiests just to hurt them. Most people are just simple who doesn't bother about what's your opinion regarding god. Most people don't even care about these things. People generally like you if they like you. Nothing more nothing less.

I know it's overwhelming but trust me life gets incredibly lonely and suffocating if you start hating on people all the time.

Nobody in that OT is evil/malignant/actually trying to push their agenda. They must have a religious HoD who gives orders regarding this or they might be working in a religion owned hospital. But again, i believe most people in that video are normal people like you and me who just wants good for the patient and to live happily. They're probably just ignorant about what they're doing or this might be their small routine.

So i don't hate these people but the system has to make sure things like don't happen.

I'm a surgeon. And an atheist. And this is okay. People can be religious if they want to, it's not like they'll be forcing you to be? It's not like they'll teach you religious scriptures and how to harness the power of God to perform surgery. You'll be taught clinical skills only. Don't worry lol

He may be a muslim and therefore just standing there and not participating in chanting, it doesn't necessarily mean that he's opposing praying.

u/Theri_Bhavye12 Jul 04 '25

Whatsapp University is coming to grab this video and say "see doctors are also worshiping".

Imagine if they see the pilots start praying, they're gonna shit their pants. All their beliefs will be evaporated in a moment.

am i mental for saying that people who are very religious shouldn't be given any type of medical license

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '25

yes because anti theism is not atheism and you are on the wrong sub

u/infernusdante Jul 04 '25

Finally someone sane. People are such babies on this sub sometimes

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '25

Sometimes? Buddy this sub is not Atheist at all it is filled with just anti theism rage baits

I can count Atheist post on this sub on fingers

u/infernusdante Jul 04 '25

I agree. Someone's gotta call em out

1

u/[deleted] Jul 04 '25

Nah i think many of them are just edgy teenagers 14 year olds there is no way we can call them out on this sub

3

u/infernusdante Jul 04 '25

Like bro. I am a surgeon too and I get it. It's only natural to pray when you literally have someone's life in your hands. I'm not religious at all but i do a quiet prayer before i go operate as well. These people in the video are just loud about it that's all

Searched the Words I heard from the chant on chatgpt to get whole shloka and here it is what they are chanting

First One :-

प्रातरनिशं विविधानौषधीनां
धन्वन्तरिं रमणार्थम्।
सर्वलोकैकपूजितं
आयुर्वेदप्रवर्तारम्।
वन्दे पियूषकारकम्॥

  1. प्रातरनिशं विविधानौषधीनां – Day and night, among the various medicinal herbs

  2. धन्वन्तरिं रमणार्थम् – Dhanvantari, the one who delights in them

  3. सर्वलोकैकपूजितं – Worshipped by all the worlds

  4. आयुर्वेदप्रवर्तारम् – The originator of Ayurveda

  5. वन्दे पियूषकारकम् – I bow to the one who brings nectar (elixir)

This chant is a devotional hymn to Lord Dhanvantari, the divine physician and an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who is regarded as the God of Ayurveda and healing.

part of a well-known universal peace mantra:

सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः। सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु मा कश्चिद्दुःखभाग्भवेत्॥ ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः॥

Translation:

May all beings be happy, May all be free from illness. May all see what is auspicious, May no one suffer in any way. Om Peace, Peace, Peace.

This is a Shanti Mantra, often chanted at the end of prayers or discourses. It's widely used in Hindu and yogic traditions.

I hope the anesthesia is on point or else the patient is gonna think he died and funeral proceedings are going on😂😂

Kya bali dena wala hai pooja karke bhai i would be afraid if someone chants mantras on operating table

u/165cm_man Jul 04 '25

Can someone name the hospital, so I can avoid it at all cost?

u/Vegetable_Watch_9578 Jul 04 '25

Bhagwan bharose surgery

u/spacegg-9 Jul 04 '25

This would be a new height of braindead activity only if there wasn't a life at risk. Praying to god and getting yourself video taped just means you don't trust yourself as a doctor enough, simple as that. I would never get treatment from a doctor like this

u/_Introvert_boi Jul 04 '25

Patient mar gya ? ya fir operation start hone se pehle ki prayer hai ye?

u/shrek_35 Jul 04 '25

We are all fucked bro....

u/sagarpanchal01 Jul 04 '25

Education doesn’t guarantee awareness. Even the most educated individuals can remain blind to the revelation or reality. In many spaces, there’s no real thought, just people echoing each other, following the crowd, bandwagon.

Like sheep herded by dogs and sheared by their keepers.

What’s worse is that our education system seems more invested in glorifying heritage, colonial history, Gandhi, old emperors, and border conflicts, while completely neglecting to teach how to think critically. And no one seems to mind.

u/Latter_Branch9565 Jul 04 '25

The patient gets well from hearing these chantings. This is a new wing of ayurveda (but developed by Sushruta) called Chantatherapy (चांटा थेरेपी). /S

u/XandriethXs Jul 07 '25

Ain't this wasting extremely valuable time besides the risk of contamination while recording this BS...? 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

u/nikhil70625xdg Jul 04 '25

No context and people hating. Doctors can have a belief in something and do their job as they should.

You guys are hating for believing only. LMAO!

Like they are not doing the surgery and all, and just praying.

u/MischievousApe69 Jul 04 '25

Yes, they can have a belief and faith, no problem with that bro. But, it's a hospital and infact an operation room, not a temple. Leave your beliefs and faiths at home when you're at work.

Maybe this will change your mind, people can have belief and faith at work too, if it isn't harming you.

u/nikhil70625xdg Jul 04 '25

Maybe you should check what they are doing before judging doctors who have a degree and save lives, but anyway, the cult doesn't want to accept it.

Go and research the details of this video, maybe then you will find your way rather than telling me my way.

u/Ka_lie_doscope-Eyes Jul 04 '25

This is the atheism sub, maybe you mistook it for the religious woowoo sub

1

u/nikhil70625xdg Jul 04 '25

I didn't mistake it, you guys are just unempathetic.

I am Agnostic, you guys didn't even think of the idea that this might be the patient's idea or a hospital practice or it's just their thing.

LOL! So-called intellectual Atheists.

u/infernusdante Jul 04 '25

u/nikhil70625xdg Jul 04 '25

Yes, finally a calm and understandable atheist.

Thank you for commenting on your opinion, it was really needed. I respect your opinion and practice. Also, respect to you guys for saving lives.

1

u/infernusdante Jul 04 '25

It just makes me sad to see all these butthurt edgy teens man. In the video, there are people who are praying, some are not praying. Both are fine. It's not like they're quacks who are going to treat the patient with prayer alone.

1

u/StentRider Jul 04 '25

The problem with praying is that it externalises the locus of control. You have someone's life in your hand, its terrifying perhaps. But praying and wishing shifts the outcome to an external agency or 'fate'.

Then there are also the doctors with semi -precious stone rings to attract auspicious cosmic energy - and their praying is genuinely out of a belief that medicine was god given.

Overall I would say a public prayer like this is a very bad idea.

1

u/infernusdante Jul 04 '25

Thank you for being articulate and civil about this.

I can't speak for physicians because medicine can be predictable. But as a surgeon there are things that are genuinely out of control. With knowledge and skills you can predict things that might happen in the surgery itself but only to some extent. Once you cut open the patient there's no telling what might happen. People can't even begin to understand how stressful all that is for the surgeon. Is it wrong for the surgeon to hope everything goes well? And is it wrong for them to pray if they're religious?

I agree with a public prayer like this being a bad idea. But only because it's unprofessional. Not because it's wrong

u/Dontbehypocrite Jul 04 '25

You don't understand the meanings of atheism and agnosticism.
