    You are the first teacher that I have ever listen to that make everything clear and easy to comprehend! I love watching one video after another of you!

    Having grown up a in fundamentalist Christian household in the 1980s and just now at 46 years old realizing how harmful that view of the world and that view of the brain is…wow. I barely have words. This was eye opening for me. Thank you and I thank you for this channel 🙏🏻 many of the offerings are absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to dive in to the recent sacred landscape walks I saw pop up 🙏🏻

    The Upanishads, on my very first reading, was made instantly apparent to me that it was Truth sublime. Only reason, simple contemplation and a little consideration is all that is required to be shook to the core with it's astounding insight. Gleaned from deep observation, I am unable to find words sufficient of praise for this epic work. This teacher understands Vedanta so well, that he can simplify it without changing one speck of meaning.

    You are truly an enlightened one, I see myself the same way that destroying ego is a wrong teaching too. Ego is crucial indeed.

    I’m in love with the visual examples. Can’t tell you how delighted I was to go into that make believe world with our little clay self. That was beautiful to visualize and peaceful to listen to.

    It would take considerable amount of effort to create videos like this, and is original creativity.

      Kensho Shi,
      I’m sure a lot of work by a team goes into these videos. The level of professionalism from presentation, sound, and especially content is excellent.
      Watching Swamiji makes makes me more interested in the subject of the video and want more. I have not quite watched them all, but I should be done soon. I am planning a vacation to visit the center where he lives in New Jersey and perhaps watch a filming, be a "studio audience" of one! Lol.
      I truly appreciate these works/offerings to the world as a chance to better know myself and better act in the world. Thanks for commenting on the effort these must take so that I could add my 2¢!
      With Metta,
      John T. I.

    This is one of the best videos I have seen of Master Tadatmananda, the depth of the subject contrasts with the very particular simplicity of the master and I definitely appreciate the effort to deliver this knowledge through these didactically elaborated strategies with so much love. Blessings for his work.

    The word "ego" or Ahankar is not harmful rather it is also good for one self. Maharaj, has depicted the subject graphically that cleared the confusion and helped to digest. easily. My pranam to Maharaj.

  • @samarthachaitanya2500
    @samarthachaitanya2500 4 роки тому +1

    Those who listen to your insights are REALLY BLESSED. The reason being, there are more gurus than the followers in the present day and most are not having hearts to listen the wisdom of a very few, practice and adopt in their dynamic and busy and messy life of woely thoughts. And amidst this, there are also only few persons like you who have done so much valuable research and took pains in the interest of many to share the things learnt, penance done, contemplated and the wisdom this attained. Notwithstanding, your sharing of wisdom are soul stirring and therefore I immensely love. It is unfortunate that I am in india and your goodself is physically far thousands of miles away...... yet you are within me fortunately. My salutations to you beloved Sir.

  • @innerfire81
    @innerfire81 5 років тому +7

    I love that state of absorption where the I thought loosens and vanishes while the pure delight of seeing a flower or a white clouds passing through a blue sky or fresh snow is completely unobstructed. All thoughts of self and world go quiet and vanish while world becomes experience with no mental chatter of "this is A" or "this is B" or "I am fat" or "I am frustrated because I didn't get what I wanted." This bliss is the birthright of all, but I know such experiences are nor the final story.
    Thank you, Swamiji.

    • @williamcallahan5218
      @williamcallahan5218 4 роки тому +1

      @Georg the "final story" is just that "a story". The first two words of the comment point to the obscuration... "I love". and if you take it further he says "that state of absorption". States come and go, "I" comes and goes. "what is" has no states, no characteristics, no qualities, is changeless, no beginning and no end. To paraphrase Huang Po ; f you can conceive it or perceive it it is not your essential nature.
