THE TRUTH ABOUT "SWAMI" VIVEKANANDA & THE RAMAKRISHNA MISSION: Some of the following three points apply to practically any "religious" organization, not only to the Ramakrishna Mission/Vedanta Society. Nota bene: I refer to the founder of that pseudo-religious organization by his proper name, Mr. Narendranath Datta, and NOT the name by which he is addressed by the deluded fanatics who follow him, "Swami Vivekananda", for reasons that should become obvious when reading the following. 1. A spiritual master ought to be a member of the Holy Priesthood (that is, the "brāhmaṇa" class of society, usually wrongly transliterated as "Brahmin"). Mr. Datta was a member of the working-class ("śūdra", in Sanskrit), since he failed to exhibit key characteristics of a genuine brāhmaṇa. Firstly, he was a drug addict (he died at a young age, due to lung cancer caused by chain smoking tobacco). 🚬 Secondly, he was a carnist. A carnist is a person who considers animals unworthy of moral protection (he virtually suckled on the teats of cows, thus causing undue harm to both himself, to the cows from whom he stole their milk, and of course the poor, innocent calves, who were robbed of their food). 🍼 🐄 🥛 In order to learn of the prerequisites for being a TRUE BRĀHMAṆA, email me for a copy of the Holiest of All Holy Scriptures, "A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity" ("FISH"). 2. The Ramakrishna Mission/Vedanta Society condones the two MOST PERNICIOUS institutions in the history of the planet - democracy and feminism. There is insufficient space in this comment section to properly explicate the reasons why democracy (or, for that matter, any system of non-monarchical governance) and feminism are so adharmic and evil, so, if you are one of the very few souls who is desirous of understanding my reason for stating the above, you should find my Email address in the "About" page of my UA-cam channel. 3. Because, as mentioned previously, Mr. Datta was an ultra-fundamentalist pseudo-religious fanatic, and an ignorant "śūdra", none of his disciples and grand-disciples, et cetera, can ever attain to self-realization, for as Lord Jesus Christ rightly stated two millennia ago, "A student can never be greater than his teacher". Therefore, if one has ambition to become even more "realized" than Mr. Datta, it is ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE that he seek training from a guru who is on a higher state of spiritual understanding and realization than Mr. Datta, or any of the current Ramakrishna Mission "sannyasins". Just to provide a couple of examples for the above accusation, the current head of the Advaita Society of New York, Mr. Vishvarupa (so-called "Swami" Sarvapriyānanda) is a self-confessed candāla (dog-eater), since he consumes the bloody carcasses of poor, innocent animals, and of course, as a member of that demonic organization, he promulgates the second-most pernicious institution in history (feminism). Furthermore, the British woman who hosts his UA-cam channel, Diane Crafford, according to her Facebook profile picture, condones not only unjustified animal slaughter, but she supports the murder of even poor, innocent, defenseless, unborn humans. 👿 In order to study dharma and yoga with the current World Teacher Himself, search for "Jagadguru Svami Vegananda" in Facebook. 😇 सत्यमेव जयते! 😇
Swami says that in Vedanta we are all one Consciousness, and the objects we experience are not separate from Consciousness. Example: the body is in Awareness and the table is also in Awareness -- Consciousness appears as both subject and object. He says that in Vedanta, nature and soul are one -- there is no solid separate independent reality apart from Consciousness. My thought on this is that if we are all one, and we are all one Consciousness (which includes everything), then that One has one Awareness (interpretation). Although we appear to be separate subjects with individual interpretations coming from that One Awareness, why is it that we don't KNOW that One Awareness which everything IS?
It's very interesting how it is that we can see for ourselves what that one awareness is and do see for ourselves always as it is the awareness each of us are. We can know our awareness in meditation or in any way which allows us to know our being in the present. We may be able to remember that when we were children we had a very different point of view but our awareness was exactly the same. If some event triggers us to get in a mood our point of view changes as this is what is meant by being in a mood. Ever try to go back to sleep to see how a dream will end. Who would know how it is supposed to end? Who decides what other characters in our dreams communicate to us who seem to have different points of view? A point of view I'm aware of is we can't be sure, or I can't, how many different separate points of view there appear to be. But the awareness in every point of view is exactly the same and aware of different aspects of a single thing we call the Universe like the cells in our bodies each perform their functions within different environments in which they interact and each organ acts for it's own purpose while it's cells act in their own purpose yet in support as a part of a greater system of which they are a subset. I can imagine many different theories of how the Universe might work which as far as I know are equally possible. I have found many reasons to believe consciousness is the foundation of nature in science and patterns found in our experience like scriptures and the etymology of words. For instance Adam is cryptically defined in his name which gives his nature as the radiating magnetic force which space reflects as electricity. Ribosomes in our cells read messenger ribo-nucleic-acid radiating across the cytoplasm of the cell which produces amino acids as a reflection of the desires presented. Like Eve brings apples from the tree of knowledge. Adam named the serpent in the beginning which means he chose it's nature. Ribosomes means rib of the body and amino acids are the fundamental building blocks of all life. Biology means mode of life the word. These things are reflected within in extremely precise order which are an integral part of the body of which we are entirely unaware. 🙏
@@imaginaryuniverse632Fascinating. I watched a film about Neil Armstrong the other day, which led to a discussion about the various layers surrounding the earth as we enter deep space. It struck me that here were the realms of heaven inhabited by the different spheres of beings as the get closer to God. As above so below. The model is repeated over and over again.
@@Fokrey1955 I get your meaning. I was referring to Swami's point about Advaita Vedanta's teaching of One Consciousness -- and that he says the One Consciousness APPEARS as both subject and object. My question is: why don't we KNOW that One Consciousness? Why do we yearn to KNOW our Source? Thanks.
I believe Christian philosophy is the evolution of Sankhya philosophy as it introduced two major factors to the formula. They are the Father(Objective Authority) and the medium(the Holy Spirit) in communication between subject and object.
A third factor would make a trinity of factors as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost. I think the holy Spirit symbolizes space. The Father keeps all the trains running on time like Solar systems and cells. The Son would symbolize the appearance of separate identities within a single awareness which is the same also as the Father only aware of different things.
Thank you very much for the Gita classes, they are very useful to me. I would like to ask a question about Sunday services. I don't see links for the upcoming Sunday livestreams. Can somebody please help me out?
So, we could say, in a non-dual sense, that Prakriti/nature is the ability of phenomenality of Being... the ability to appear in knowledge as phenomena. It is the phenomenal nature of Being, and without it, consciousness would be meaningless.
God is the indwelling Spirit the Self within his self both of which takes to be real God is his true Self as distinct from the individualised false self which takes to be real before the dawn of the highest spiritual knowledge
Pranamam Swamiji, Will you pls expound on the ’Conscious awareness’ that Shri JK Krishnamurti spoke about. How do we practice it in our daily lives?.🙏🏽
I think this is seeing it back to front. You are speaking of perceiving from your I, ego standpoint looking back as it were to the source. In reality, I think the source is your real, but unperceived I, and your ego is the veil that stops you realising this. Thus your ego now will end with your life, the real you is eternal.
@@dorothywarren1441 Thanks but I don't think you addressed my question: Why is the same body-mind appearing? I am supposed to be awareness itself, and it sees always through the same body-mind. Why?
@@ultrafeel-tvIt's not through the same body or mind. What you experience as being the same is your awareness and that is because it is always exactly the same in you as you. It is also always exactly the same from person to person even as each awareness is aware of different things. Like you used to be aware of the body you claimed is always the same when you were a child which obviously was not the same as now. Our minds reflect our state of being which we can see clearly when we have rapid mood shifts like when I thought for sure the 4th down pass completion by Alabama would be ruled incomplete but No!!! Oh well I'm over it now and back to my "regular" self a little older and hopefully wiser. Besides my Falcons won yesterday and are in first place! I don't own the Falcons of course I just choose to identify with them, for now... 🙏
Please help me to better understand the part of "Deep Sleep". I read in places like Vivekachudamani and Yogavishsta about the 3 forms (I know there's also Turiya, but let's focus on the more common 3), but Deep Sleep always seems to get passed over quickly as a given. To my understanding, it is the least "given" as it is the one form we don't experience. How do we even know that deep sleep exists (I don't mean in the sense of modern brain-wave technology measuring REM, etc., but in the Vedic sense)? If we are unaware of it, what proof of it is there? Furthermore, what purpose does it serve even if it is, in fact, a "form" of consciousness? At 12:23 seconds in this video, Swamiji (fairly, talking about another topic) says, "if it can not be experienced, why do you talk about it at all?" but Deep Sleep can't be "experienced" and yet it's viewed as an entire form of consciousness. How did people figure out deep sleep existed in the first place, why is it factored into our talks about consciousness, what role does it play (the "seed state" of what, exactly?) in Self Realization and now, finally, how does deep sleep specifically relate to Turiya?
Ashtavakrasamhita say Where is scriptural injunction where is disciple of preceptor where is any object to strive after to Me who am absolute good free fromimitation
As you say Nature depends on consciousness for being experienced, isn't that tantamount to claiming objective reality(nature) is conscious? This, it seems to me, is at the root of the confusion between parusha and prakriti. So such definition actually promotes suffering.
Nature is conscious, but it isn't different from ours. All of them are same consciousness. It is the avidya (ignorance) that causes the appearance of nature something separate from us.
@@abhaskumarsinha3647yes. Like in a dream , the dream objects seem to be different and separate from the dream experiencing consciousness, yet both are nothing but the dreamer ( his mental creation and separation/ compartmentalisation).
Pranam Swamiji 🙏 OM Since this waking state is also equal to dream state There is REALLY , neither Dissolution nor Creation , neither bondage nor freedom , neither the bound nor the freed. As Mandukya Karika proclaims... those are all my delusions , a misapprehrnsion of the Reality... the Real Self in me. isnt it ? 🙏
Gods like Shiva Vishnu Brahma Devi Hanuman are those who have already realised themselves as Brahman and then they are manifesting their divine powers in reality like flying travelling in sky prakat antardhan taking whatever body form they like by Sankalp will power siddhis etc. Can we also attain these some powers siddhis after realising ourselves as Brahman infinite limitless awareness. Only then we will be inclined to leave human body form and attain something higher called Brahman.

If there is only one consciousness ("I"), then why do I always only experience the world theough the same body-mind?
Experience is happening in the mind in the form called Vritties in Sanskrit, being illumined by consciousness.
