Your lucid explanations on yoga sutras will go a long way to understandings of the ancient subject of yogic literature. I have a will to seek ur Darshan when u come to Kolkata. Dr Shankar Dasgupta kol WB
Thank you so much sir to explain the Raja Yoga. One of my fav. Yoga. This is the king of yoga bcoz it is not only telling you something but also experiencing you with your real being.
I was electricified by the mention of Mircea Eliade. A few months ago I was reading Mircea Eliade's "Patanjali and Yoga" in which I finally got (for me) a crystal clear explanation of Samkhya dualism. I had a sudden flash of "seeing" that Buddhism IS Samkhya, in that Purusha=Nirvana. As a convinced advaitin/buddhist this experience has thrown me into a kind of crisis quest to find a "view" in which dualistic Samkhya and nondual Vedanta are both true SIMULTANEOUSLY.
"Quest to find a view in which Dualistic Samkhya 'nd non dual Vedanta both true simulataneously" To help uh in ur quest, thr is something called Gaudapada's commentary on "Samkhya Sutras" of Sage Kapila. Originally Samkhya Sutras are considered lost, Ishwara Krishna was a philosopher in 2-3rd century CE who revived this tradition but gave it slight Dualistic look tht we know of this philosophy as today. It's his commentary containing the said original Sutras tht survived. The original Samkya Sutras(700-600 BCE) mi8 contain more Sutras thn wht Ishwara Krishna commented upon. It might be possible tht it was originally a Non-Dualistic philosophy focused on explaining how Dualistic world arose 'nd only tht part survived whr the evolution of Dualistic Universe is discussed. Having said this, after Ishwara Krishna, Gaudapada(the gr8 Guru of Adi Shankara) awrote a commentary on "Samkhya Sutras" giving it a Non-Dualistic Outlook. He argued tht gr8 Sage Kapila taught Non Dualism. In Brahmasutras, Maharishi Badrayana while refuting rival schls of thought held Samkhya in high reverence. In Bhagwad Gita, Mahabharata, Ramayana, Yogasutras etc it's always Samkhya schl of thought which is given utmost respect among all schls of thought.
I wish I could bow down and touch the feet of Swami Sarpriyananda and take his blessings. I am completely surprised that I born in the Land called Bharat ( India) where this highest level of Spiritual Teaching Existed . Why Indian Teacher don't teaches all these in our School college and University. We only have Knowledge about the physical world nobody teaches about the Bhramagyan ( Knowledge of Self) that's why we are at the verse of Suffering. Only Knowledge and Practice of Yoga can heal the world and can bring peace and Happiness. Thanks a Ton the Greatest Soul Swami Sarpriyananda for Delivering us Highest form Knowledge to us Duniya sada aapka Rini rahega. @Vedanta Society of New York please upload all parts of Raj Yoga session. Thanks VSNY for Hosting this. 🤗🙏🏻
I have been admiring Sarvapriyananda over the years. He's an incredible, scholarly monk that I can listen to for days and years! Humble reverence to him🥰. He's one of those that automatically evokes such reverence! The only other Western teacher I revere is Alan Watts - he explained Hindu/Eastern philosophy SO WELL that I wonder if he was some ancient Vedic sage reincarnated in the West to explain such concepts 😀.
Very remarkable. Y can’t this be our syllabus in school In graduated manner so by 15 yrs v vl come out as a realised enlightened beings India has rich culture, y is it not easily accessible or is getting lost in generations
Swamiji Pranam Patanjali Yoga Sutras there is one more commentary from Bihar School of Yoga. Very well written "Four Chapters on Freedom ". Well explained Yoga and separation.
At 59:30, Swamiji says that in Vedanta, chitta vritti nirodha is not necessary. But according to Vedantins, when one begins enquiry with a purified mind, then comes the flash of illumination in the form of the Brahmakara vritti which destroys the ignorance after which it itself gets destroyed just like an alum which removes the impurities of water and itself gets dissolved. How is this different from Samadhi?
Durga Prasad Panda I think the difference is in the practice not in the end goal. In Vedanta you are pointing your mind towards the Brahman, which in turn moves the samsara out and shows its mithyatva. However in yoga the practice is to move away from samsara and all the mithya vrittis. At the samadhi stage what you are left with is not a vritti of samsara. One can call it no vritti or brahma vritti as one is devoid of all the usual vrittis. In around 18th lecture of Aparokshanubhuti Swami ji elaborates this with example of a reflecting surface that is reflecting light from a natural source like sun. Now to light up any object it has to point towards it and light falls from the surface to the object. The two of these are vritti vyapti and fala vyapti. For looking at the sky though just pointing is enough, one doesn’t have to light up the sun which is the source itself. I hope this clears the doubt a bit.
@@bhardwajutkarsh Thanks for sharing your insights. However, I feel practically there are no differences as far as realisation is concerned, although there may be some philosophical differences. According to some others, in the path of knowledge, jnana comes at first, as an intuition and then it deepens into Nirvikalpa Samadhi. Sri Ramakrishna used to say further about Vijnana which comes after samadhi when the whole world is realised as none other than Brahman. Well, let's carry on our practices and keep purifying our minds. Things will become gradually clear 😊. Thank you!
Durga Prasad Panda Buddhists say “There is no wisdom without concentration and no concentration without wisdom. One who has wisdom and concentration is close to Nirvana” Both go hand in hand.
Swami Harshananda ji has also given 4 wonderful talks on Yoga sutras, which are also present in UA-cam. Interested aspirants of Yoga may also watch them as a follow up 😊

Named so because King of all yogas because it directly tries to control the mind. Jnana yogis consider their way to be even more direct because it confronts and questions who is the I. Of course all yogas are necessary for all seekers in various mixtures
Only Buddha addressed human sufferings. Vedanta does not address suffering as its objective is not individual's suffering, but to create an enlightened or evolved society. Osho has said it all.
AI can able to work independently but it unable to have First person feeling, so there is totally absence of consciousness. Independent working is not equal to consciousness friend! 🙏🌻💖
Swami outlines everything so we'll except he never clarifies "ignorance". He seems to interchangeably use it with "perception". "When the Self SEE's it's true nature, then ignorance is gone". Sounds like to me that ignorance is just a matter of perception not knowledge. What is difference between knowledge and perception? This is so confusing because it's subtler than just "ignorance". It must be a subtle understanding of ignorance*
You are the best teacher i ever seen in my life experience! i listened to Sadhguru i love him but he talks so much , you give the RESUME ! the Way the methodes the History ! i love you ! im an agnostic from morocco and im so happy and glade to know you
I have discovered everything that he has said not by studying scriptures, I haven't touched any at all till now, just by mindfulness practice. after listening to this I am feeling like every word is true and I also know why
Simplicity with in depth analysis that's maharaj way every video makes ones mind serene calm Ps:Can anyone please provide me swami sarvapriyananda maharaj personal email id 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
One day I want to meet you... And seek your blessings... I just want to touch your feet swami ji... You are my inspiration... Your words give so much comfort! You are great support... Love you so much! I would be blessed if you be my guru! 😃
I have a question, if you see it ..please mention it to swami. I'll always be grateful for dis. " SWAMI ISN'T ALL THAT YOU DESCRIBED AS MIND IS SENSATION ONLY(FORMS,SOUND,SMELL,TOUCH, TASTE). I asked this because whenever I look into my mind I doesn't see anything other than sensation. I used sensation as forms,sound,smell,touch,taste.

I so appreciate Swami's many teachings, his wisdom, clarity, humor and vast knowledge. What a treasure he is! He has added a lot to my spiritual studies of 20 some years. As I want to hear every word, perhaps a clip on mic would be helpful when he uses a blackboard. Much gratitude to you Swamaji!
Pranam Maharaj🙏.....excellently simplified explanations.....thank you for giving us such boosts in our path of self realization......but it's also a humble request if you can throw some light into Japa of the Ishta mantra and the significance of the seed mantra in it.....as to how many times we can chant it....or about the specificity of place time and anything else related to the repetition of the mantra....and its power.....the Guru Shishya bonding during the time of initiation etc...
Wait, this is somewhat confusing. What would be the difference between ATTA-mind and MANAS-mind 28:03 ? Do they mean the same in different words/dialects or do they indicate different properties? Thanks for whoever answers it!
He laughs just so often, like a child..and the learning gets easier.
Respected sir, I am blessed that I am hearing your speech and lectures, I just want to say you I Love U, and take your blessings,
