Pranam Guruji. I feel liberated every morning, listening to scriptures from you Guruji. It's a great way to kickstart my day in a 1st world nation where materialistic possession is valued a lot.
I want to express my gratitude to you. Having no knowledge of any of these teaching but hearing about them and becoming very curious, I have acquired some books that aren’t the easiest to understand nor read. The words are unfamiliar and that’s what make it hard. Doing it alone is rough but I’m totally willing to do it. Recently I’ve been fortunate enough to have cross paths with The Bearded Mystics podcast who intern sent my here, after asking where I could learn. So I’m very grateful that you have taken the time to teach us. Many Thanks
As this body is embroiled in pain, poverty (cannot work due to back injury), and alone-ness, your teachings are invaluable in respect to overcoming. Thank you again.
Pranam, Swami-ji! Thank you so much for this wonderful lesson! I have been having quite a hard month, but your videos have been really helping me to get back on the right path and get the upper hand in this battle with raga/dvesha. I am so thankful for your teachings and everything that you upload here. Namaskara!
Namaskar Swami ji. I have listened so much such knowledge sessions (satsang) on the youtube but unfortunately I didnt find this much clarity with detailed and comprehensive explanation as u deliver. I am overly excited now to hear more on various hindu Vedas, upnishads and other texts from you. I generally escaped when I saw ur videos were long but now I have learnt that every bit u deliver is precious. In my spiritual journey, u will be my Guru swamiji and I will learn a lot from you. Being a Hindu, sometime I feel that such precious jewel existed since very long but we r trapped in Rag Dwesh ( compulsions) and to attain material pleasure. Now I m on right path and the God has endowed me with the opportunity to have teacher like u . My shat shat Naman( 100 times namaskar)
Naman Guruwar! Such enlightening lessons on Braham Vidya , explained by a true guru of Advaita Vedanta! The explanation is so clear that it itself motivates you to walk on the Spiritual path with determination and absolute clarity! We are so lucky to have you as our Guru! You have appeared before us because of our good karmas! Dhanyvad Gurudev! 🙏🔔🕉🪔🛕🦢🪷🦢🪷🦢🪷🦢🛕🪔🕉🔔🙏🌹👌🌺👌💐👌🌹📚
Salutations, Guruji. Thanks very much for the engaging and inspiring session. I love the way you breakdown the teachings of Sri Shankaracharya in a simplistic and powerful manner. Om Nama Shivaya 🙏🏼
This was a powerful teaching that I have not seen anywhere. Truly helps those of us who have been trying to understand our place in the world. May you blessed so many times over! I finally understand! I now know what to do (or what not do hahaha) this life makes sense. I'll be contributing to your work. Thank you thank you, thank you!
Swamiji teaches us that we are consciousness, but He is my very conscience…When He speaks of people that say “just this once” I feel He is looking at me. 😀😀Step by step, day by day… I would like to know if in Advaita Vedanta there is a similar figure such a bodhisattva of Buddhism. Pranam Swamiji. 🙏
Namsty ,it is a good question that I also want to know about . However there is a saying, " when you pray ,universe listens to it and when you meditate ,you listen to the universe" . In his recent videos on Patanjali Yog_Sutra, Swami ji talked about Yamas and Niyamas please refer to that video as well ; you may find a little hint about this question (probably in some of his other videos under question and answer playlist he had explained bit more about it ) But from Non -dualistic point of view I am also perplexed , who listens to these prayers?
MUMUKCHHU- Those who are seeking MOKCHH. But is does not mean that you leave Karm- KAND rituals. Yo do them for CHITT-SUDHHI,which is the first step on the path of Mokchh seekers.
Thankyou Swamiji. Is am a little confused with the assumption of each jivan having inherited karma because of an infinite number of cycles. Even if there is a fraction of a possibility that I can become a jivanmukti in a life cycle, then I should be a jivanmukti as i have experienced an infinite number of cycles. This is not my experience so it's hard to understand the explanation. Maybe you can cover this later
@Tarun Katal yes lol 😂 I saw some of the craziest things I've ever seen. It was dominant in my throat. Like words on the pages I was reading I think were being projected from my subconscious. Also I could see my daughter's body as light moving in time. Just weird stuff. I'm lucky I did not go insane. I'd been dreaming of being struck by lightning since I was a child before I knew what Kundalini was and one day it just happened. So now I'm seeking proper guidance to raise it back up with balance. 🙏 I'm glad to know I'm not alone.
@Tarun Katal it all started when I truly started to Wonder who is God. I was raised christian and it wasn't giving me the answers I was seeking. So I began looking into science and the 'higgs boson ' the God particle. From there I found sadhguru. And I began speaking and acting in absolute truth. I began accepting that my life is my making. Taking full responsibility for my actions. I began karma yoga giving with out expecting anything in return. After that I had my awakening. But I allowed the stress of day to day life to throw me off. Also I feel like all of my past karma began unloading itself all at once and I couldn't take it. But I have a family I'm raising alone so I get stuck between needing to physically survive and provide and seeking God. So technically I'm a house holder, yet I secretly wished many times to run off to the Himalayas. Lol.
@Tarun Katal I've studied j Krishnamurti teachings as well as Allen Watts, Maharaj, yogananda, Vivekananda..sadhguru... Just about any spiritual literature I could get my hands on. My lack of balance is what messed me up.
@Tarun Katal no no I accept that I alone am responsible for my life. My own past actions began manifesting Infront of me. Excuse me if I said that wrong. I do accept. But thank you for speaking with me. 🙏
BUBHUKCHHU- Those who seek to fulfil Kam,Arth and Dharm.These can be enjoyed for limited time only. KARM FAL is nischit for nischit kal not for surv kal. So once you finish the enjoyment of FAL, then have to take punarjanm-rebirth.
My question is why does it scare me to think as brahmin that I am truly the only being in the universe split up into different bodies? It felt very cheap when I saw the truth. Like everything was a lie. Everyone else says this brings bliss, but for me it felt scary or lonely. Was it the remnants of my ego?
@Tarun Katal I had an actual physical sensation that I was in every one around me. My thoughts became connected to the mind network. It was like everything I thought would manifest into other people instantly. I broke my bubble of consciousness. Yes it was like a newborn baby. All I could do was stare around bewildered because of the ignorance I was in prior. Just as they say in the Gita...For months after that my body was vibrating intensely. Like an acorn could fall off of a tree beside me and I would feel the reverberation all throughout my body.
@Tarun Katal this wasn't an intellectual discovery. This was a vibrational connection that came by way of lots of mental yoga and karma yoga. But... Something curious is that I also had a near death ☠️ experience just before this as well. I think it caused me to slip into one of the more subtle body sheaths.
@Tarun Katal They say a true seeker no matter the caste can never be denied in yoga. Well I've found that to be the truth. I spent hours and hours seeking with an intensity like nothing I've experienced in my life. It became an obsession for me. And shortly after I had the near death experience laying in my bed, I felt like I was struck by lightning and I blacked out into a void. After that for months I was vibrationally connected to everyone, and every thing...I think I subconsciously drove my physical body down. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep until I knew the truth. And that's when it happened. At the peak of my intensity.
Pranam Maharaj ji, I am a student of advaita vedanta in Ramakrishna mission kolkata for last 15 years.It is my heart & dearest subject. Kindly can you help me to get a hard copy or soft of your above complete lecture.Namaste.
If I was asked to point my finger to the root cause of the whole mess I would turn it toward consciousness. Pure existence shouldn't have strayed. Shouldn't have overlooked its real nature.
Explíqueme una duda si el refrigerador de las consecuencias de mis acciones se va sacando para cada preparación de una comida vida , y restos de la comida van a este refrigerador después de dejar el instrumento cuerpo, entonces esta rueda no sería más bien como una elipse que se acerca más al Señor por la ley de evolución, porque sin duda no es un aprendido y apagado mecánico sino un juego musical de desarrollo de conciencia de la vida de cada sintiente? Sino donde está la evolución, eso sería una maldición, y sabemos que no es así, los jivas somos la libertad del amor divino que como una semilla vamos germinando, aunque precisamente no es mecánico porque somos personas libres
like the explanations but was not completely satisified by how does one have the first birth. could it be that maya takes over the pure soul for a birth , remembering from naradas story where he asks vishnu what is maya and vishnu tells him it cant be explained but you have to experience it.
Time is a product of the material world (look up Spacetime), so the"first" is a material construct. There is no time without space. The soul exists without a need for space, therefore it has no beginning and no end, nor a first or last birth.
Bhagavān Buddha's "Bhava Chakra" is more exhaustive than Bhagavān Śņkarāchāryā's "Saṃsāra Chakra". For Buddha also ajnāna is the only cause for the prolongation of Bhava Chakra. [1] From "ajnāna" or ignorance arises saṁskāra known as drives and impulses. [2] From "saṁskāra" arises respective vinyāņa or mental consciousness. [3] From "vinyāņa" arises nāma-roopa or mind and matter [body]. [4] "Roopa" or the physical body comes with 18 salāyatanās (6 sense apparatuses- like eyes, ears etc + 6 sense consciousnesses- like eye-consciousness, ear-consciousness etc + 6 respective actions- like seeing, hearing etc). [5] As long as there are "salāyatanās", there bound to be passa or contact with the external world. [6] As long as there is "passa" or contact with the external world of names and forms, there bound to be saṁvédana or SENSATION. [7] "Saṁvédana" or sensation is the cause for rāga and dvéśa or compulsion to acquire or to avoid. [8] As long as there are "rāga and dvéśa", there bound to be upādāna or attachment. [9] As long as there is "upādāna", there bound to be bhava or the process of becoming. [10] As long as there is "bhava", there is jāthi or birth. [11] And "jāthi" or birth means to enter into the field of [12] misery and suffering in the form of diseases, old age and death, which are nothing but sorrow, lamentation, torment and ordeal. Hence Buddha advised that "ajnāna" is the root cause for the continuation of the Cycle of Birth and Death. Buddha says this Cycle which contains 12 links can be broken at the level of SENSATION[S] that arises on the body, which has direct link with all the impurities of the inner-mind carried forward since time immemorial [sanchitha and prārabdha], by awakening our Power of Witnessing and by methodically observing the SENSATIONS.
I am always amazed by these teachings. I KNOW they are true. 💖🙏
This is pure Gold. Many thanks. 🙏🕉️

Yes they are called Jivanmukta (One who is freed while still alive). There are other terms as well, but I just kept it simple
namaste! your classes are awesome, thank u for sharing!
Half of our suffering comes from expecting Good from wrong people and another half is expecting Bad from good people. That's that.
Swami please explain why we can pray. Who is listening is it Isvara can we pray to Ishvara?
Namsty ,it is a good question that I also want to know about . However there is a saying, " when you pray ,universe listens to it and when you meditate ,you listen to the universe" .

Hi, I raised my Kundalini last year. It's still vibrating within me but I had no proper guide. I need balance and teaching. 🙏

So now I'm seeking proper guidance to raise it back up with balance. 🙏 I'm glad to know I'm not alone.
@Tarun Katal I had purified my mind to a certain point but then fell back down. I need to re approach this whole thing with balance ⚖️

Why could we not have been unmanifest and become first manifest when we got the body first time
You skipped verse 1.4
If cause is finite then result is finite
so sukh of Swarf is limited not eternal.
If I was asked to point my finger to the root cause of the whole mess I would turn it toward consciousness. Pure existence shouldn't have strayed. Shouldn't have overlooked its real nature.
That sacred fire is called diya jalana in India... Every evening hindus light ghee or oil lamps.
