- "The mind is very restless, turbulent, strong and obstinate, O Krishna. It appears to me that it is more difficult to control than the wind" - Bhagavad Gita (6.34)
"Lord Krishna said: O mighty-armed son of Kunti, what you say is correct; the mind is indeed very difficult to restrain. But by practice and detachment, it can be controlled" - Bhagavad Gita (6.35)

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.

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 very lucid discourse
That is what Sanatan Dharma is. 🙏
Very well said to understand yet it is needed to hear many times .thanks to Moharaj.
Yes ,it's the Advait Vedanta Philosophy.

If I have questions to ask how can I do it ? Excellent points given by swamiji about how to prepare our mind for meditation fixed time is possible but fixed place is not because if I stay out of my house some relative's or friend's house place is changed .Other points are alright Satarupa Sengupta

Thank you for summarising
Thank you so much
plus Abhyas - Repetition
What a brilliant mind and beautiful soul. Swamiji is a natural teacher and communicator. I love the way he simplifies the subjects with everyday examples and anecdotes. Swamiji then is considerate enough to summarize for us what he has spoken so that we can better remember what we need to do. May God continue to bless him. Om Tat Sat!
Please save our hinduism
Excellent discourse.
@@govindbisen388 islam and caste discrimination is killing it
Very true he has great intelligence and clarity
I have been following Swami Sarvapriyananda for years starting with his first lectures at the Vedanta Society of Southern California, and his expositions just keep getting better and better. - and he started from a very high benchmark! In this talk he cuts through so much, with such incisive, insightful analysis, bringing it together with such focus, clarity and lucidity. And so simply. 🙏🏼✨🙏🏼 What a blessing our SwamiJi is. I feel privileged to just hear him. His teaching is illuminated.
Agree with what all that you say. I am a new follower just starting out to listen to him. What a wonderful experience it is to listen to his wisdom, incisive logic, practical examples and metaphors, references to classic Vedic sources, great scholarship, a ceaseless flow of words from within, such unassuming and humble personality, nicely interspersed humorous comments, ease of references to everyday examples from daily life that we can all relate to, respect for the intelligence of his audience...I could go on, but no words can really do justice to his sharp mind and pure brilliance. He is a blessing to all humanity, and we should consider ourselves so fortunate to have him accessible to us all remotely via UA-cam. God bless him with the best of health so he can continue to teach us, show us a path to follow and share his wisdom with all for decades to come...Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti...
I cannot imagjne where I would have been without listening to the discourses of Swami Sarvapriyanda. He fills me with so much hope everytime I seem to lose the thread of life. Swamiji-I am so, so indebted to you. Thank you.
Excellent for spiritual
I feel exactly the same 👍
"Neither SEEK nor AVOID as far as the world is concerned. Untie the boat."
my take away from this enlightening talk.
Pranaam Swamiji. 🙏🙏
He is a true blessing of this generation, he is such an amazing guru, I wish I could have had him as my guru 💔
You still can you know. Just keep watching his videos and then ruminate about what you heard.
@@thebelligerentbostonian7524 yeah I know, the real guru, the sadguru is inside us all but he is just an ideal guru that can give some real experience! well i wish to meet him one day 💙💙💙
@@omtatsat1846 me too
@@omtatsat1846 I also
okay, i see you quite often in Adhyatmik Memeposting
Blessed to have attended this talk at NY Vedanta Society. Swamiji’s aura and grace filled the entire hall. He is truly a remarkable speaker 🙏
Yes ,so lucky you are 👍
So lucky u r?
WoW!
🙏
This is so good! Every talk by Swamiji is so valuable. He has such grace and brilliance. 🙏🏻
...ditto! Beautiful talk! 🙏🙏🙏
Beloved Swami, I recall a mention by you of an initiate lamenting that there are no great figures these days, like Vivekananda and Ramakrishna. Anyone in doubt need only find your UA-cam videos. "Great figure" -- you are that! Thank you so very, very much.
Swamiji is in ignorance,
Soamiji is like a great piece of poetry, which beautifully flows in a natural flow.. It's a privilege to listen to him. So lovable, so suave, so wise and so humble. Every word is worth listening thousands of times
Very True Indeed!.Om Shanti, I.
This learning is like being a firewood in the fire of enlightenment. It takes time to burn until nothing remains - neither the fire nor the wood.
Imo, this is his best satsang, he brings all the vrittis and gunas together to clarify how to subdue the mind, everything exists in Brahman yet the realization requires repetition , devotion and especially Insight
Who are the lucky ones who attended this discourse.? We are indebted to you Swami ji.
Swami Sarvapriyananda is a blessing to man kind. He makes spiritual teachings so fun and interesting. I sincerely hope if one day I become a monk I will be like him..
Seen seen seen e 5ed
D seema
It's almost become a ritual for me to listen to Swamiji's talks during long drives to office and back. Simply love them. Insightful and touching. Immense thanks for these super valuable talks and leasons
Me too 👍
Me too
So indebted to Pujya Swamiji for the most valuable teachings 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you swamiji, you are my daily inspiration. I hope with your instruction and my perseverance, I can become firmly established in meditation. 🙏
One the best lecture by swami.. so enriching
He is enlighten sole. Helping others to uplift their sole. His language is lucid and tool to understand easily clist scriptures.
My understanding and summary:
How to calm or control the unsettled mind ?
1. Through regular practice of meditation 🧘♂️ and concentration consistently, till it becomes a habit. Making it a habit is important, to train the mind. One analogy is Mahot controlling the elephant 🐘 despite its sheer size and strength.
2. Develop Vaiřagya - Dispassion(detachment from worldliness), through development of detachment becomes easier for mind to train and convince.
10 things
1. Meditate regularly
2. Have a fixed place
3. Have a fixed time
4. Avoid bad thoughts
5. Avoid bad company
6. Practice asceticism
7. Cultivate vastness , infinity and eternity(in thought process)
8. Yearning for god(not desire for world)
9. Spiritualise daily activities with little bit of Ritualism(Don't overdo)
10. Seek holy company.
This framework can be used for pragmatists(like Arjuna) who wants to develop mindfulness and make the mind amenable.
Namaste 🙏
Thank You so mcuh 👏🙏
🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much. Please correct the spelling mistake in point 8 "yearning" for God.
Thank you so much Swami Ji 🙂🕉🙏
I wait for these lectures. A big highlight in my life🙏🏽
Listening him is one kind of meditation I felt... we all are blessed... Pranam Maharaj...
❤So true
Very thorough exposition on meditation. I'm very impressed with the depth of wisdom and spirituality of the Ramakrishna Order, Swami S in particular. I like the emphasis on the timeless, ancient teachings, without being merely a cult of the sacred personalities--Ramakrishan/Holy Mother/Vivekananda.
Pranams Swamiji ...only blessed ones will have this opportunity of listening to you. Guru Maharaj blesses you all the time for sure..
Pranam Maharaj ji.With the taste of gold and diamonds mine,one loses interest in other cheap ore mines.Sat sang is the Gate way of noble values mine.A practical direct feeding to inner system.Jai Shri Ramakrishna.

Swami gee thanks you so much for sharing your knowledge and inspiration factor of elusion of the mind and how to control your taught and action base on how you preceive life journey begins with you. Amazing and pure knowledge very simple explanation. This is beon body mind.reflect back to the source. I am not the physical body but the eternal soul. The power of the mind and master it in words taught or deeds weather physical mental or emotional self realisation is the key to success. Mata swasartie bless you swami gee.

दण्डवत्-प्रणाम स्वामिजी ।
I agree whole heartedly. I hang on his every word.
Brilliant discourse🙏.I don't think one needs to let go of materialism to be spirtual but one needs to be mentally detached. Keeping a balance of the material and spiritual world combined.
Easier said brother lol.

Hari Om Swamiji Pranam
I really need to watch it again and again to thoroughly absorb all what Swamiji said
And I always wondered why Lord Krishna fondly calls Arjuna महाबाहो and ponders on the physical attributes of Arjuna while guiding him on mental aspects... Swamiji answers my doubts in a very lucid manner!
While reading upnishad I discovered you swamiji . And I am now vedantic in mind I discovered myself ,so peaceful 🙏

Jai Sri Ramakrishna 🙏 💐 Jai Maa 🙏 💐 Jai Swamiji 🙏 💐
This was one of the best talks on meditation I've listened to. So simple to understand! This was my first time listening to Swami.. He has my attention! Thank you for your teachings
Swamiji, you reinforce the idea of detachment so effectively. Your words ring in my ears when I lose my way, you remind me to let go the boat I will repeatedly listen to you to be in holy company. With your words trying to develop dispassion and live a life with least requirements and activities. 🙏 My sincere pranamam to you.🙏🙏🙏
Pronam swamiji. Mind becomes full of joy when I listen to your lecture.
So enriching and pious ..it looks as if Srikrishna was Himself speaking through your mouth Swamiji. Koti koti pranam
Thanks again guru ji
Swamiji's life is service to humanity. And that service is about teaching to the world what is truly real and all the the rest of what you perceive and experience in this universe is just Maya. I would like to think this sort of dedication to do good to the world will lead him to the realisation of the Brahman in the not too distant future. Pranam Swamiji.
One of the authentic teacher..
Blessed to have such teacher who is unbiased and fully focus on truth.
Swami Sarvapriyananda is a true blessing of this and future generations to come. He is an enlightened soul 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Jai Sri Ramakrishna🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Excellent speech by a Great Monk. Very informative and very entertaining.

Pranams Swamiji 🙏. Amazing to listen to your lectures. It removes the monotony of this life and equips us to continue our spiritual journey with more vigour🙏. You are so unique in cooking a simple to digest vedantic meal from the complex ingredients of all the systems of Indian philosophy. 🙏. Otherwise many of us would run away from this most difficult and profound Vidya , rooted in our beloved India. No words to express my gratitude.🙏🙏🙏🌺🌸. Jai Shri Ramakrishna 🙏🌺Jai Ma🙏🌺Jai Swamiji 🙏🌺
So beautifully explained meditation, I have read so much books and heard so many lectures but 1st time I understood what is meditation and how to do it.....I am sooo much grateful to Swami Sarvapriyananda....
Yes it is
মহারাজ, আবারও শুনলাম।🙏🌹
অসাধারণ বক্তৃতা!! 🙏🙏
খুবই গুরুত্বপূর্ণ 10টা পয়েন্ট!! 🌹🌹🙏🙏
A Master Class on what is.
One and only complete lecture that a seeker ever needs, to soak in and absorb.
Rinse and Repeat.
I can listen to you through the eternities of time Swamiji 🙏
Swami Sarvapriyananda ji is a very precious gift to humanity. In every session, his knowledge shines through not only his book absorption but through internalized knowledge, realized knowledge....that's why he can connect concepts and philosophies so easily and express these very complex schools of thought in words which reach us. Another attribute that comes across in every talk, is his innate humility. His own evolved energy comes through to us, not only his studied knowledge.
🙏 Dhanyavad Swamiji
Thank you very much for your inspiring,amazing&excellent lecture.GOD bless you.
