ABOUT VEDANTA
Vedanta is one of the world’s most ancient religious philosophies and one of its broadest. Based on the Vedas, the sacred scriptures of India, Vedanta affirms the oneness of existence, the divinity of the soul, and the harmony of religions.
ABOUT US
Vedanta Society of New York is affiliated with the Ramakrishna Order of India. In fact, this is the Order's first Center started by Swami Vivekananda, in 1894. It was a historic event, for the seed of the world-wide Ramakrishna Movement was sown here in New York over a century ago. Swami Sarvapriyananda is the present Resident Minister and Spiritual Leader of the Vedanta Society of New York.
A thousand thanks and a million Blessings.
Swamiji is GENIUS 🙏
Hara Hara Mahadev
Q&A section really removes doubts🙏🙏
So beautifully explained and answered by swamiji
Beautiful fragments of Swami Ji's lectures. 🙂
These lectures have been given originally in Vedanta NY and it is NY's official channel. Original source lecture info. is also given.
Nowadays, many channels are uploading clips of SwamiJi's lectures but don't provide any information regarding the original lecture. Some channels are genuine but some seem to be more interested in popularising their own channel and they should respect His works.
These lectures given by SwamiJi are of extreme value. Integrity & authenticity of His work should remain well maintained.
What's with the capital H in His....?.....
His.... with capitals?......
@@sidthevar2679 ,
To distinguish Him from others. Capital letter is also used to refer those sages who have attained buddhahood.
Nys official channel? Can you share the link for the same?

Wow. Very well simplified and explained...
Excellent answer. Swamiji you are really genius. I bow to you enlightened mind and of course to you the ever enlightened.
Swamiji answers each question with such clarity.... Very enlightening! Thank you Swamiji👏
True
So basically the consciousness is the same but the minds are different?
@@harshanhothi455 Yes. Because consciousness is existence. Existence is one.
Beautifully clear about the difference between enlightened being vs veiled enlightened being!
Thank you, sir.

The Gita says those divine state are fearless pure of heart steadfast in knowledge true harmless peaceful compassionate free liberated from anger hatred pride and crookedness these vices nature are transformed into divine beings
Yes...I get it..if the mind realises that I the soul is free even in the bondage of this physical body...n the goal is that itself...to attain freedom while living??
Thanks,ignorance a high resistance lamp not allowing more current(divinity) to flow, result as very deem lamp glow.
Some of the auto-generated English captions are incorrect..... For instance...@ 2:37 he says "I am Satchidananda" but the caption says "I am such a done onda". This can be misleading for some people who depend on the captions. They do not convey the excellent answers given by Swamiji.
Sounds like it is the ahankaar that is getting liberation
The mind, identified as the 'Son of man' gets liberated.
🤗💐🕉🍃Hari Hari...
Thank you - what about ignorance within the heart? 🍃🕉💐🤗
..Hari Hariii - very interesting point... - is your heart a mashines then???
@surojeet chatterjee🤗🕉💐🍃Hari Hari 🍃💐🕉🤗👍👌👉Great: Thank you, as a teacher's teacher i ask you not only Sarvapriyananda and Team again: Is there an ignorance of the heart - related to what Sarvapriyananda sais in the short video?🤗🕉💐🍃
Mind body replies
But how do we truly believe we are the atman? As in sincerely not just in knowledge
Dear Swamiji, Please, can you explain ..... Who is a Jivanmukta and how does he behave??🙏🙏🙏
A Jivanmukta is one who's ignorance has been permanently dispelled or removed (by knowledge).
Dear Swami Ji, as per your explanation then there is no question of Advaitha, as there are enlightened beings and unenlightened beings, then how come all is one.
dear swamji
Can you please explain in bit detail about the jiva concept
What is jiva?
what is its size?
Is it subtle body considered as jiva?
Is it part and parcel of brahman?
is it confined brahman?
Or is it a contanminated brahman where mind, intellect, sittha and false ego combined with brahman
Jeeva is soul +body +mind ?
When those of vices nature are transformed into to divine beings the World turns from hell to heaven this great change in quality consciousness of human influences other creatures also as element of Nature too transform in the process
That means the soul gets liberated of the body n mind , never to take up a body again??
Isn't the soul in bandage of the body??
Soul or atman is free always free and will be free .The thought that we are only mind ego intellect and body is our bondage and not souls bondage .
Then death should end both ignorance and knowledge because it's the end of mind.
I studied Advaita Vedanta for several years and comparative religion for over 60 years. But, as with all religions, the question remains ‘what proof do you have which indicates the truth in Advaita Vedanta?’
ALL the Abrahamic religions fail this question. 🙏
the video soundtrack is messed up
Namaste -
I request any one to comment on a Qn I have -
"........ Jiva is the mind super imposed on the atman, / or the atman identified with the mind. .............".
From this, is it correct to say the karana sareera / causal body can be equated with jiva ? Is it the same as the concept of "avyaktam"... the "blankness" of deep sleep (is that correct?) ? When the deep sleeper doesn't know anything, and but when he is asked, "who didn't know anything?", and he answers, "I didnt' know anything" or better still "I knew nothing", the "I" who answers to that question..... (not the thinking I because in deep sleep there is no thought).
Thanks and Namaste !!
# 1) These are just concepts to remove pertinent doubts & ignorance about the real Self. Avoid getting too entangled with concepts themselves. Focus on what they're pointing at.
# 2) Jiva is not real. It's just an idea formed out of ignorance.
# 3) .., Jiva is simply & practically that what you currently think you are.
Or, that who is supposedly asking these questions, living this life, as a human, man/woman, etc. (Something else in some other life).
- That one who's saying 'I' (in Ignorance), & the one to whom this 'I' of yours refers to (in current Ignorance).
# 4) Theoretically / conceptually, in it's bare form the Jiva is this 'Ahamkara', i.e, this 'I' or I-notion of yours.
- This 'I' is born from the Root Ignorance or Mool Avidya.
- Avidya / Ignorance is Karan Sharira.
- ...., "Vasanas" are also 'part'/aspect of Karan Sharira.
Because the Vasanas cause or give rise to the body & behavioural tendencies that a Person (= Jiva) gets. This is somewhat equivalent of DNA or your Seed or mental / physical blueprint.
# =>> So, In totality & commonly,
Jiva is The Atman confined or 'coloured' by the Ahankara + (Blueprint + Mind + Body). That is 'I' appearing in Atman is Jiva along with the bodies it gathers in ignorance over lifetimes.
# 5) So, this 'blankness' etc. is not the Jiva. Jiva is the one who thinks he slept, who says he knew nothing, who now thinks is waking or was dreaming at some point. And even the one who thinks he meditated, had a Samadhi (even if 1000 years long)!

Namaste !
Thank you. I had all along kept on with your answers no.1 , 2 and 3 for quite some time, and thought this is a good opportunity to have a clarity. The answer no.4 was more helpful, yet it is exactly the "some places" you mention that I am stuck at. Still, you have restated it quite effectively and it has enhanced my thought and I would stay with that for some time. At no.5, you reinforced my stated understanding by saying ".....Jiva is the one who thinks he slept, who says he knew nothing, who now thinks is waking or was dreaming at some point. .....".
Thank you !
@@santhoshgopinath816 Namaste!
Though not sure exactly what got clarified and what did not. Just adding something hoping it brings further clarity.
# 1) You can totally forget/remove 'some places' without any loss for your practical understanding. That was caution/remark more relevant to 'academic / theoretical vari'. ((Removed it from the comment for others, someone else with similar nature of doubts. ))
#2 ) If your doubt was around Jiva (as it appeared) then the correct answer to that is: There is No Jiva in reality (as in pt#2 orig. comm)! It is only a wrong thinking (Bhrama) in ignorance ( as ment. in pt#3 orig comm)
#3) For the purpose of Adhyaropa - Apavada, i.e., highlighting to remove the error, Jiva has been conceptualized / explained, or, as it is experienced, mentioned in point #4 & summarised as (Atman + I + mind/bodies).
#4) This is just one way/ method of expressing / explaining the same thing, Jiva in this case. Different people find different expressions to explain this Mayavi (anirvachaniya) phenomenon. For example, 'Reflected consciousness' etc.
#5) These concepts/ models are supposed to serve the purpose of identifying the error for its correction. Not for 'studying' the error itself.
# 6) Hence changing the focus from details/ variations of the theoretical constructs of error, to it's practical understanding may be more useful is the suggestion.

Namaste!
I found your first reply more helpful in terms of comparative clarity, the point no.4. I find both the approaches of Ahamkara and the karana shareera as logical. As said, let me stay with that for some time and see what gives.
Thank you for your effort.
@@gameone6597
Namaste !
I have an off topic doubt on Advaita. Could I ask you and would you like to give your comments on that. If yes, I would form the Q and ask you.
Why do I need to get liberated ?
So that you get Mukti from traps of rebirth-death cycle in any life form and the troubles that come with it. Once you attain Mukti you are out of this vicious cycle and are in the home of the God, ultimately reached God for being good.
@@Yt-le2mu you are talking as if you are different than Atman or Brahman. If you are one and Brahman is beyond everything then you are already liberated. If you still need to be liberated and need to merge with Brahman then you are not Brahman but seperate entity what ever name you call it.
But who says that I’m Brahman ?
Are we concious when we get moshk
Tatvamasi, you were before, you are here right now, you will be in future also, you are everywhere
Moksham alone is consciousnessuntainted
After enlightenment one becomes master in all subjects maths physics chemistry cosmology medicine economics engineering
No men 😂
No,he becomes cosciousness
no...
No but it's a very popular misconception on which fake gurus like sadguru thrive.
Even swami vivekanand seems to believe in such stupid things per his book rajyoga
You can infer that the questioner is Bengali from his accent, and from the conceptual nature of his question itself.
