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
Vedanta Society of New York is affiliated with the Ramakrishna Order of India. In fact, this is the Order's first Center started by Swami Vivekananda, in 1894. 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 have mad respect for Mahaswamiji. He is so astute and is able to field complex questions about different methods & spiritual experiences effortlessly! He knows all the varied vocabulary & can articulate the different systems -- always pointing to the superiority of Advaita Vedanta without belittling the other paths. He never passes judgment or criticizes! I personally have studied the yogic path for 20 years till I found Advaita Vedanta about 8 years ago. His clarity and vast knowledge makes listening to him so easy; as though he's explaining the difference between 1st grade & 3rd grade curriculum. Pranams, pranams, pranams Swamiji. 🙏🙏🕉💐💐🌺🌼⚘⚘
Metoo🥺🥺🥺😊😊😊
20 years , great .... I'm just 20 years of age 😅😅😅😂😂😂🤣🤣
Its truly what he was born and made to do , truly on his purpose in material realm
I totally agree! The way he represents Vedanta on international platforms and the way he teaches is extraordinary. It makes us proud of our heritage. People should realize the treasure we have and we should learn. It would be waste of this life , if we don’t read or meditate on Vedanta and advaita Vedanta.
So true. Well said. We are blessed to have his knowledge and wisdom for our spiritual advancement. ❤
He is very intelligent man with great knowledge.
I am 82 yrs old and have been doing Kundalini yoga for nearly 12 years. I asked the above question. Thank you for your answer Swamiji.
I’m curious have you experienced your SELF
Yes, curious, what has 12 years of yoga brought forth ?
Your positivity is infectious😇u r a true gift to the people in ur life nd I really appreciate everything that u do.

Thank you Swamiji..
Quite grateful for the clarity you bring to "my" understanding of Advaita Vedanta; thank you very much.
Excellent clarity of thought & smooth delivery.Enlightened souls like Swamiji can only propound & articulate such complex philosophy with simplicity so effortlessly. Pranam🙏🏻💐🙏🏻
Excellent 👌🙏🙏🙏
With true Kundalini, You can have both mystical experiences and direct recognition. The profound insight of mystical experience does not come and go but guides us on all levels of our being. It is Kundalini beginning to wake up that makes a person a seeker and puts them on the spiritual path, even the direct path of Jnana in the first place. Sri Ramakrishna had It all! He demonstrated this to Totapuri. ❤️
Pronams revered Swamiji, my spiritual teacher. I have experienced kundalini awakening in sahasra 2 yrs
back ,which culminated in the ultimate vedantic breakthrough just after 1 yr.
I am enormously benefited by your lectures .
Thanks a lot Swami Ji for precise and concise answers!Lots of regards
Pranams Swamiji. Very insightful. Explanation is incisive and settles the ripples to its pristine peace. Pranams Pranams.

The most profound book, based on a Vedic tradition, scriptures and experience, one can read on Kundalini yoga is Kundalini Vidiya, The Science of Spiritual Transformation By Joan ShivaArpita Harrigan. It’s the best book I’ve ever read on this topic.
kundalini yoga by swami sivananda Just go through this book
@@arunjoshi2001 Sivinada’s book on Kundalini yoga is very good Shiva Arpita’s in my humble opinion is outstanding. I’ve never read so much comprehensive scriptural and experiential based information on Kundalini Yoga, from an actual Kundalini Yoga master-her teacher, in one book. It’s very very well done.
@@jankelsey9738 Kundalini: The Energy of the Depths : A Comprehensive Study Based on the Scriptures of Nondualistic Kaśmir Śaivism, by Lilian Silburn, no deeper text than this to be found on the subject.
Pronam Thakur Maa Swamiji Maharaji
Well explained 🙏🕉️

Thank you for showing us the difference between jnana yoga & kundalini yoga, between enquiry & mystics.
Thank you
🙏
I feel true spirituality is oneness which could be experienced only through kundalini awakening not intellectually. It is a no mind state.not philosophy.
You are having a Ego
What is the original source video? Thank you for posting
🙏🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐
Are there many differet yogas for having mystical experiences like kundalini yoga?
🙏🙇
Kundalini and enlightenment seems to be a microcosmic representation of the constellation of draco, ie the serpent, and of the central Pole star (there are three of them, like the Silmarils in the Tolkien legendarium) which is Thuban, positioned at the head of the serpent so to speak. So perhaps it is a microcosmic representation of the enlightenment of the cosmic man Purusha. The Pole Star represents the still point of the turning heavens and so is commonly a symbol for enlightenment.
A similar stellar symbolism seems to unlock something of the mystery of the story of the Garden of Eden in Genesis as well.
From my experience, I used to meditate a lot 13 years ago. I got spontaneous Kundalini awakening and had near death experience. Few years ago , I came across sarvapriyananda and vedanata and all my experience seemed kinda logical. Now I feel spritual naturally most of the time. I also have started reading Autobiography of yogi and have finished apprenticed to Himalayan yogi. Those books have cleared lot of my doubts.
I do question how normal person can grasp Advaita Vedanat without any experience. Atleast one should try be more eligible and make oneself more disattached to worldy things and show compassion to all living being. This will help you understand advaita more. But I would recommend doing all Four Yogas to understand what life is...Bhakti is also a must as I wouldnt have gotten this experience without the grace of my Gurudev and Ishta Deuta Shri Ganesh who is Omkara
What is your suggested path for someone just starting their spiritual journey?
🙂🙏
The enquiry doesnt start by itself ..
Swamiji... what is the difference between kundalini yoga and mantra intiation in our tradition..... what is the immediate experience or symptoms that kundalini has awakened....
Only lord Shiva will make you to feel..
If you know Tamil திருமந்திரம் படியுங்கள்...
In this holy book he says lord is in three forms. 1. As sadhasivam in every where in this world. 2. As Parvathy paremeshwar in the sky. 3. As light in all beings eyes.
So closing eyes and thinking lord only take you to eternal life. 3 time prayer is very good.. if possible look my channel 3 small videos are their. I know Telugu bit i can't make in Telugu
As per my experience due to lack of discipline... Kundalini awakening caused me some physical harm... and some mental disbalance... hypersensitivity to every sensation. In Advaitic terms... it was as if my realisation was being stuck to the World rather than The Truth. It was very bodily and mental. But indeed it did help me unlift my levels towards realization.
Yet what I figured out was that Kundalini can't just right away take you towards realizing THE ULTIMATE. Its rather a bumpy process. U can go nuts if not done in the right way with supervision. Its like mastering an art or sport.
Regarding how kundalini is both yoga meditations and Tantra (the more esoteric practices of Hinduism/Buddhism)..
How does Advaita/advaya refute Samkhya (the most sound tirthika reasoning)?
I understand that Madhyamaka reasoning is often used to refute Advaita/advaya?
What's the DIFFERENCE between SAMADHI and DEEP SLEEP ?
When a person goes into deep sleep, he wakes up as the same person. But a person who comes out of the samadhi is changed for better. Sleeping gives only relaxation and rest. Samadhi provides illumination and realisation of things that one didn't know before..
@@ashirbadmajhi you didn't get my question!
In deep sleep there's only pure awareness and not any thoughts!
In samadhi too one have have pure awareness!
I know the difference that in Samadhi you goes consciously!
But still why does we don't realise our true nature in deep sleep when there's only pure consciousness!
Even samadhi, one has to leave behind his manas buddhi & ahamkara. But even in deep sleep, we take our vasanas, ahamkara.. Pure consciousness is adulterated with vasanas, trishnas, & our ahamkara in our deep sleep. So, we can't realise our true self even in deep sleep..
@@ashirbadmajhi can you tell me what an I supposed to do to enter samadhi?
Woahhh.... Difficult question indeed... Start by reading Raja Yoga by Swami Vivekananda.. & Start practising Ashtanga yoga... Starting from Yama & Niyama... Under the guidance of a guru, if possible... & With years of practice, you may get it...
Btw, I am simply telling what I have read already, better to ask Swamis of different orders to initiate into the proper ways of yoga..
What is the email address of Swami ji? Where I can ask questions?
Means dvait is a water which is present in the bottle and advait is the water as well as the whole bottle ?
Swami Vivekananda while proclaiming the sovereignty of the Advaita Philosophy as including experience in which all is one without a second also added to Hinduism the doctrine the Dvaita Vishishtadvaita and Advaita are three phases
Yes as you say it's experience. And as Advait means one and not two. Then if no mind no body not even intellect then who experience the non changing.

Do we also control the body? I understand that the Self is I who experiences the body, but does it also control the body? In other words, is controlling the body part of that experiencing? Or are our thoughts simply created by the mind/brain and we’re just experiencing whatever the brain tells the body to do - and we, the Self, is just along for the ride? So the body is basically autonomous and we are simply experiencing the autonomous actions of our mind telling our body’s what to do?
I heard some mystic experiencing expanding consciousness through meditation. I guess that's the ultradimension, where one experiences oneness with all being.
You can experience that right here. It's within you as we speak.
@@Corteum I am affraid that is intellect not experience.
@@grandiosegaurav You can also experience intellect. But you can experience without intellect, too. You can experience other aspects, other bodies, too, besides the gross physical one.
@@Corteum correct that's what kundalini talks about.
I had this experience it was natural sudden satori , deep immersion into oneness with all being and great bliss but coming down from it feels terrible as if eating the best meal in the universe and now you're limited to dirt of material world ,limited by body/mind.
I am Brahman, I am.
No you are not. You are.
Nor am I. Instead, I am.
Haha vedantic joking.
Sorry.
How is "All one" compatible with reincarnation/karma? The nature of reincarnation seems to confirm that there are separate consciousnesses in different bodies, no?
Again says as added to Hinduism the doctrine the Dvaita Vishishtadvaita and Advaita are three phases stages in a single development. Of which the last constitutes the goal
Self enquiry is only for advanced souls .. you are struggling just to live each day than you must practice Kundalini yoga first.
How does one experience ‘ I am everything ‘ I can understand the belief but what is the confirmation for the person that this is truth ? 🤔
Os kundalini consciousness? Or is kundalini an energy which helps one to realise consciousness. Is it possible that when you truly feel Aham Brahmasmi, would kundalini rise up?
Kundalini is an energy
Yes Kundalini would rise when you feel ashamed brahmasmi
Why do tantrics come in disguise as Gurus for surrender and am attacked by them and struggling .....
What's the remedy to get out of tantric control who attack the Soul for surrender
So what does one do if burdened with chronic illness ?You know you're not this body and that it will die but you still feel pains of it ?There are healers who use power of consciousness to heal but they're usually gifted this.
If one has knowledge of self as brahman then why continue to live in a body/mind experience? When should one abandon the body?
Read what Swamy Ji had about the story of Buddha and two arrows. The first arrow which causes one pain and illness, Buddha said he can’t do anything about it. The second arrow is dealing with the first one, how should one respond to above. Buddha said he can teach one how to overcome the sorrow.
@@vish2553 I heard it before certainly wise story, sorrow is very pointless especially when self generated i agree, but should one still try to 'do' something . I mean we are eternal consciousness how come we cant manipulate this physical reality with ease via power of consciousness ? Seems only few gifted by divine grace can have such strong healing
@@evolvexxx5848 I think the body-mind complex will keep following nature's rules, i.e. trying to survive as much as the surviving odds are not too heavy to stand.
Brahman does not care about surviving or not surviving. The idea of survinving comes from the appearance one have as being alive. We are already imortal, is it with a dead or alive body-mind. Don't wor...I mean, your body-mind will worry anyway :)
@@brunoborma But why do we live if we can completely let go and be in brahman bliss without bodymind limitations
@@evolvexxx5848 my dear...the idea of being capable of being in Brahman arms out of this life is an appearance. You are already.and will always be in Brahman arms, because you are it already. All the appearances, feelings and sensations you and I have in this life are part of Brahman. Brahman cannot be without all these things. It is how it is. It will come a time when we continue to feel the suffering but we don't react badly to it, nor do we feed it. That is what concerns you I'm sure. We all suffer because we all have a body-mind. And having this body-mind is part of the story. We will overcome it if we want.
I understand what you are saying swamiji, but i dont understand the path to conciousness, You bieng the knower of all advaita vedanta , have you experienced the greater self , a experience which shows us we are all the same , or experience which shows us the god , the truth or the purpose if life?
I recomend you watch Swamiji's ultimate truth video. We are all already experiencing the truth you talk about. We just forgot how to discriminate it amidst all things we percieve.
🙏😂
My understanding is that the serpent power kundalini coiled at the base of the spine MUST be awakened to unfold samadhi!! It is this prana locked in the Muladhara Chakra that binds us to worldliness! Without opening these 7 doors in the subtle spinal columns there is no enlightenment, could it be otherwise?
I honor you and your incredible work. But your very last statement sounds incorrect. It contradicts your recent interview with professor T. about Kasmir Shaivism. The experience might be different. But you both agreed that both paths reach the same ultimate realization. We say I am Brahman. They say I am Shiva. But essentially equal the same thing. I am Infinite Universal consciousness. I can’t understand why you would Conclude this talk saying otherwise.
Yes, Experiences differ but the realisation remains the same. Kundalini Yoga, seems different than Kashmiri Shaivism. Kashmiri Shaivism is Advaitic in approach and in its practices too. Kundalini Yoga is an approach among Sankhya philosophers.
Humble Pranams Swamiji Maharaj 🙏🌺
Beautiful very nice explanation on difference between Kundalini yoga n Advaita Vedanta.
Swamiji thank u so much for pouring this knowledge n charity. 🙏🙏👏👌👍
Really blessed to hear your talks on this topic Swamiji 🙏,thank you so much Maharaj 🙏
Humble Pranams 🙏💐
Jai Sri Ramakrishna 🙏💐 Jai Maa 🙏💐 Jai Swamiji 🙏💐
UNCREATED LUMINOSITY
It is the ego that becomes enlightened. It is not that there is realization that I (the Self) am the witness consciousness...it is the ego's realization that i am NOT the witness consciousness. The witness consciousness never shifts! It is immutable. Swamji has a poor choice of words.
Advaaita vedanta is Brahman is in misconception as each one of us. Brahman is removing its own misconception is self enquiry.
Tragedy is even though one us can make self enquiry and realize Brahman. Same Brahman will continue its misconception in other.
They don't accept the reality of plurality of individual souls. This is also misconception.
It's strange only the Soul can recognise a true Guru! These operate on the heart and possess the vital and the Soul taking away all energy that comes from cosmos.....why r they called Gurus and have so much powers todo all nonsense from rape to mind control and bombard with energy from 3rd eye and brahma randra....
A pious seeker too becomes a victim to such and then where r the true Gurus who lend a protective hand to a seeker.....
Wonder if true Gurus exist or all r just busy talking without any yogic capacity

Tell us something concrete and genuine. What is the human anatomical equivalent of 'kundalini'? What are the fictitious nerves like 'ira', 'pingala' and 'sushumna'? Do you admit that those are all 'hysterical' anatomical constructions of the human anatomy that predate proper medically accurate anatomical mapping? My interactions are not meant for childrens enlightenment.

Mr. Swamiji, you’re explaining kundalini without mentioning the significance of the chakra symbols, meaning that your presentation is devoid of any credibility. The chakra symbols are instructions for a physically active motion rhythm meditation, that we can do to escape the experience of gravity, and that’s where the fun is, with all those endogenous happy-feeling hormones in our blood stream, explained by the thousands of petals in sahasrara.
এ কি এ কি স্বামিজী ???
No in kundalini you also realize you are Brahman because once you open up the Sahasra chakra then you become one with the divine conciousness itself and become literally a reflection of ishwara the manifest conciousness in a sense kundalini yoga is not interested in just relaxing one is Brahman it also provides you with the ability to having realized this truth out of gratitude to the other divine shakti for showing you this reality you become Shakti eg the manifest saguna Brahmans das participating in the creation while fully aware of the truth being beyond the cycles of birth and death essentially a state of perment jivanmukti. See those yogis on the kundalini path do not desire to leave the creation and merge into Brahman fully and give up their sense of duality rather they know that they are one have experienced the oneness and then come out of that state to help and assist others to reach that space and truth as well so no Advaita vedanta and kundalini yoga are not so different it is just kundalini so a technique while Advaita is a philosphy just as self enquiry is another technique. Basically both lead to the state of advait but the technique used to get there is different
