    Dear Swamiji. I am deeply grateful for your Vedanta classes. Great introduction with wonderful prayer. I am glad you clarified at the beginning that Vedanta is not a teaching for scholars/studying but have a purpose to remove the human suffering. It is here to lead us to our true nature which is pure Being. Om Namah Shivaya! 🙏

    @rsr9200 2 роки тому +1

    Delighted and grateful that Swamiji has chosen to teach us the Upadesha Sahasri. I look forward to the lessons to come.
    This lesson concluded with the message that since Consciousness (chaitanyam) is self-revealing the Upanishads need not reveal Consciousness. Further, it stands to reason that if the Upanishads did so then Consciousness would become an object (of the revelation) which cannot be. However, the knowledge that we are Consciousness is neither self-revealing nor is that revealed through any of the means of knowledge (pramanas) we possess as individuals, e.g., direct perception, inference, etc. For instance, we cannot examine our experience and independently arrive at the Upanishadic assertion “tat tvam asi” or “prajnanam Brahma” using inference alone. Seems to me that the Upanishads are the only pramana for that knowledge and, in that sense, it seems appropriate to say that the Upanishads reveal knowledge about our true nature as Consciousness.

    • @rsr9200
      @rsr9200 2 роки тому

      The technical term that I have heard which refers to that which cannot be arrived at through perception or inference alone is “anadhigata”. Not sure if this characterization of the subject matter of the Upanishads is presented by Sri Shankaracharya in the verses to come in the Upadesha Sahasri.

Access "Mahamritunjaya mantra - Sacred Sounds Choir" and listen to it for 5 min per day for at least two weeks This is the foremost Shiva mantra of the Rig Veda. Enjoy the Sat-Chit-Ananda.

    @paramasadguru1618 2 роки тому

    Namaha: it is NOT said, "I salute to Consciousness". It is just said "salutations are offered". Therefore, the one who offers salutations disappears. When salutations are offered and one who offers them disappears, there can't be the doer of an action of offering of salutations [no kartrutvabhāva]? Hence, the one who offers salutations disappears and the Supreme Reality that I AM [I= Consciousness, AM= Existence. I Exist, and I Am aware that I Exist], to whom salutations are offered, alone remains.
    My humble pranams to Swamiji for having started this highly enlightening Upadesha Sahasri.

    Love the teachings and your classes. My question is if the same consciousness is all pervasive and it is present in the arm of the chair too, then when we die the consciousness leaves our body. So then the body does not have caitanyam. Your thoughts please.

    • @shreyasjois
      @shreyasjois Рік тому +2

      Consciousness is all pervading. Hence it is always there. It does not (cannot) enter or leave the body. So then what leaves the body at the time of death? The mind, which is technically called "sukshma shareera" quits the body at the time of death. I think Swamiji has me an entire video on this topic.

    Pranam , I had a strange experience in this body , two days back had dream and had seen a person in the dream as usually we know it’s an illusion not real and the very next day I was standing in the counter queue of supermarket and What I see is the same to sane person in front paying in the counter , I was just cold , blown off because I never had seen or met this unknown person but I saw him in the dream and then I saw him in person which was vice versa of actuality. If he in the dream was an illusion so that in the waking state was also an illusion and as said everything is appearing in the Consciousness and Everything is Consciousness, there is nothing apart from Consciousness, From that moment I am so much in silence as who can understand what I saw. At the same time now everything is there but everything is an appearance in waking state as it’s in dream ….

      The dream example is one of the primary examples in Vēdānta. The beginners text for Vēdānta called Tattvabodha says "jagat mithya" which means the universe does not have an independent existence (it depends on Brahman). Just like our dream does not have an independent existence (dream depends on the dreamer to continue to dream in sleep, and resolves once the person wakes up). In fact, the waking state is compared to the dream of the supra waker, who is Brahman, which is our real nature, and the teachings ask us to "wake up" to our real nature!

    Es muy raro que con tantos monjes en los monasterios que se entiende fueron creados por Adi Sankarachaya , haya muy pocos que hubieran alcanzado el Samadi. Si se refiere a estas experiencias el profesor comentando que no es muy difícil, parece una contradicción o que el es muy excepcional. Ya vi criticas de su maestro a los Iluminados. Además es difícil creer que una tradición tan sólida se ponga a debatir que escribió su fundador o no ,sobre todo si el Iluminado Shakara discutía y enseñaba los vedas. Pero aquí el profesor ilustra muy bien ,un debate de siglos anteriores y de moda cuando se quiso introducir el máximo en L A ,cual es la posición materialista de Engels contra la posición idealista de Heguel , que determina el ser la conciencia según Hegel o la conciencia es una derivación material
    Aquí queda muy claro la tesis de Heguel
    Pero tampoco entiendo la posición dualista del yoga porque se entiende que la única variable in dependiente es el Ser o el espíritu y que la materia como una rueda gira alrededor de ese eje. No es real porque vive cambiando dicen solo el Ser , es la verdad . Los distintos cuerpos que ilustra Adi Shankara son anteriores al espíritu incluyendo el causal Entiendo que hay cuerpos burdos y otros más sutiles ,pero claro no son el Ser. Tal vez haya experiencias del cuerpo astral y a eso se refiere el profesor, esas no son netamente espirituales sino del mundo Siquico , lo cual es una distracción. Muriendo en ti es que uno nace a la vida eterna dijo San Francisco y creo eso es fundirse en el Ser el Samadi final .Gracias es en todo caso muy ilustrativo el profesor Swami

    It's pretty simple to say that consciousness exists.
    This can be demonstrated by a simple argument.
    The eye cannot see itself
    Agreed?
    The same way if you are able to see a rock means you are not the rock.
    Extrapolating this further you could say matter cannot see itself/matter cannot be conscious of matter.
    Hence you are not matter, you are something other than matter. You are consciousness and it's consciousness which perceives something other than itself i e matter and energy.
    Hence proved.
    QED😂😂
    Taking this further
    Anything you can observe: body, mind, intellect you are not that. Neti , Neti , Neti
    Not this, not that, not that.
    Then what?
    Shiva...that which is not.
