    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

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.

    I love this man. At the end, I couldn't help thinking of Whitman Rumi, and other Poets of the Soul in various traditional forms. I am an American Christian and I thank God for the work Swami does to help us understand the Lord in all his fathomless Being.
    Blessed' is he that cometh
    In the name of the LORD

    Dear Swami, thank you for discourse. As a buddhist who at times struggles with terminology whose ability to retain and remember is fragile, l am very grateful to youtube and your community for relaying these teachings, enabling me to digest them over and over again. One day I hope to visit your centre and meet you personally. I find it a struggle to accept Brahman as unchanging, my gut feeling says not true, just as when l was a child and was told that Jesus was the only way, absolutely not so !! l find Brahman more as a : CONSTANT: not unchanging. An ever present changing reality, this is much easier for myself to accept and understand . Anyway a deep bow of gratitude for you and your community's work and service. I look forward to more teachings.

    • @zendog8592
      @zendog8592 4 роки тому +2

      The substratum, “reality “ Life, is not definable nor unchanging, only constant. The apparent is rooted in the real, from where else can seeds of the ground of being arise!!?
      Maya is the season of change and impermanence, Maya is Buddha Nature/life’s dream, the dreamer is Brahman. Brahman/God/Buddha Nature whatever name "life" is given, is dreaming. Those natures contain the seeds of anger, joy, compassion, hate and love, your nature is all this. When you awake from ignorance then the apparent can choose, do I personify peace of mind, or remain in suffering . By Brahmans grace we know and choose peace of mind, and hence fall out of suffering.

A true example of excellence🙏

    One of your best talks Swamiji...I would love to hear more of your Buddhism studies while at Harvard and compare / contrast with Advaita. The two philosophies are so similar that I have a hard time differentiating them. They both emphasize that the self has no independent existence apart from awareness itself.

    Once again brilliant talk from Sarvapryananda. He does not own qutations but ackniwledges them - a rare thing
    As myself a translator of Paul carus " The Gospel of Buddha" Into Tamil my understsnding1) Buddha when said " No Atman " he only meant mind is mistaken for Atman by Vedantins. When he talked of Sunya he Prerhaps meant Self as Vedantins meant. In one of his talks Buddha said " Yes there is Nirvana which is liberation .Otherwise no consolation for us "This is nothing but Self the unseen.
    Yes Buddha too talked of rope and serpant.simile as Maya. ang Satya(. as " "sammuti Satya" and
    "Paramartha Satya") Yes even " Hitler is also expression of Life' U G. Krushnamurti( a modern Buddha) claimed. ( whom I personally heard) Let us not forget Sri Ramana who approved of Buddha ( Sri Ramakrishna too) Sages spoke as per their background and hence expressions varied. Sages never spoke untruths!

    Wonderful talk - most profound - and especially the depth on Buddhist metaphysics. Thank you wonderful Swamiji, you weird 'orange guy' !!! I have come to have some understanding of Buddhism from you, not from any Buddhist. I sometimes wonder if most of them that I've come across actually know what they are about. They seem obsessed with promoting some ideology of atheism. Love the story of the man who left Vedanta for Buddhism then returned to Vedanta for "God" as the unchanging reality behind all the mirage appearances. !!! Thank you Swamiji for this story - it says it all.
