Wow! Last few minutes of the video open the eyes and may give goosebumps like climax of any movie- Like ornaments made of gold are precious, everything in this universe is made of Bramhan-god-divinity and so everything including everyone of us are divine in essence..... 🙏🙏🙏
Swamiji, you hit the nail on the head! An extremely abstract concept explained in a vivid manner. Amazing! I am humbled! Words fail me to express my gratitude🙏🌹
Thank you swami.. for taking the effort to make these verses sink in to us with its significance. Your explanation of the verse is revealing the gold rather than the ornament..

Dear Swamiji, pranam! Excellent as always! I allow myself to complement your wonderful satsang with the brilliant words of my guru Sri Ramana Maharshi: 33. This world, full of differences of names and forms, will remain as [the undifferentiated] Brahman when these are removed. The ignorant one masks the Supreme with imaginary names and forms and, being thereby self-deluded, sees Him as the world. 34. The deceptive I-am-the-body idea alone makes the world, which is an appearance of names and forms, seem real, and thereby it at once binds itself with desires [for the world]. 37. Like the illusory yellow seen by a jaundiced eye, the whole world that you see before you is the product of your own mind, which is full of deceptive vices such as desire [anger, lust and so on]. In reality, however, it is the plenitude of pure Jnana. 38. Just as ‘yellow’ fades away in the sunlight, the appearance of this world disappears in the Light of Self-Knowledge, and therefore it cannot be a creation of the Supreme [Self]. It is merely like the beautiful colour designs which appear on a peacock’s plumage; that is to say, it is only the reflection of the vasanas [mental tendencies] within you. 46. Self is hidden when the world appears, but when Self shines forth, the world will disappear. Being different in nature, like the [seemingly real] dog [seen in] a stone [statue], both cannot be seen together. Sadhu Om : The nature of Self, the true aspect of Brahman, is not these names and forms, whereas the nature of the world, the false aspect of Brahman, is not Sat-Chit-Ananda, so both cannot be seen simultaneously. (Guru Vachaka Kovai) OM TAT SAT ओम् तत् सत्
Awesome teaching Maharaj. Pranaams. You gave amazing clarity for the word "Midhya" which had bothered me so much in presentations by few others so far. Similarly the clarity that the Vrittis are nothing but bubbles of consciousness that exist transiently and dissolves back into consciousness. Thank you so very much, Swami. Pranaams
Swamiji, very impressive. You are the first white person out of many, who has a perfect Sanskrit pronunciation with excellent explanations. Thank you, much appreciated 🙏🙏👏👏
Swamiji: teaches the most powerful and liberating spiritual truths. Swamiji: "pardon me for using the word 'stuff.'" 🤣♥️ Such a impeccable and respectful teacher!
Gurujii request you kindly upload lecture 5 .. Due to some reason.. I was not able to go through it.. Please don't delete any of your videos.. All are precious 🙏🙏
Thank you so much Swamiji, that was beautiful and very clear, I learnt so much from it, my notebook is full of notes I need to review. Though I am behind the lectures, I will be attending to your live lecture tomorrow just to be in your presence on internet. Many many thanks for uploading these lectures on UA-cam. Lots of love. Om Namah Shivaya.
Atman, your true reality is veiled by " Puryashtaka " otherwise known as ignorance, mind, chitha, Maya and so on. Atman veils itself. Atman is living its own Puryashtaka posture.
24:35 “Is it possible to have nāma-rūpa, pot, without any underlying reality?” I think it is possible. The form of a pot, or of any object, exists previously as an idea in the mind (we could say that it exists as nāma, as a vrtti, as a thought with a certain internal logic in a broad sense). Later it is graphically designed on whatever surface (on paper or in digital format) to then acquire a material structure.
Thanks very much for this profound teaching, dear Swamiji! Please allow me the following question: If all (material and sentient) "objects" are Brahman and therefore divine, as you said, what is the vedantic explanation for the evil? Thanks in advance for your answer and stay all blessed! Kind greetings from Switzerland
🙏 very clear explanations with the translation of the Sanskrit words. Just, in the end.about the Bible mentioning that God is good and the rest is evil is not exact. God is also all pervasive
Swamiji, I am checking the verses (and reading the additional commentaries) of Atma Boddha from a book written by Swami Chinmayananda, and I noticed verse 8 in Chinmayananda's book is missing in your presentation - "upadane khiladhare jaganti paratmesvare, sargasthitilayanyanti budbudaniva varini". Is this verse not accepted as part of the book by all scholars? Many thanks for your answer.
Thank you for the wonderfull lessons on here. Can you please tell me what Language this is? I would love to learm how to speak it! Its really beautiful & so are the lessons.
The way you explain the vedantic teaching is so wonderful and feels easy to understand. A thousand thanks.🙏🙏🙏 A small humble suggestion for verse 8 line one "Universe created out of Bramha." Forgive me for my boldness.
This is amazing to see how the ancient sages of India were able yo see facts that science are just discovering recently Now science discovered That the human brain is wired for survival of the physical body and not to see reality
Do you remember the joke made by Swami's swami about the man who does a head stand, all the blood rushes to the head, and thus the man thinketh too much? This reminds me of that joke.
Isn’t the underlying reality of the pot ultimately “empty space” owing to the fact that clay is also made of four elements like everything else and those four elements are atoms made of a nucleus rotating in space ? ... the human is also thus rotating empty space
faith, personal truth and personal experience aside... can anyone explain to me why complex chemical reactions under physics, that formed ever evolving beings, is not enough to create consciousness within that being's mind, or awareness? Couldn't we all be experiencing awareness independently and communicating these similar experiences? If you can explain how consciousness transcends this you will remove my hangup. Thank you 🙏
In the book of Genesis of the Bible, God creates the world and declares that his entire creation is "good." So even in the Abrahamic traditions, we see both God and the entire universe described as "good." Over the years, people have interpreted the Bible in various ways to meet various needs and to achieve various goals. But the source material in the Abrahamic traditions also declares the created world to be "good," which mirrors the Vedantic view that the entire created world is ultimately Brahman and therefore ultimately "good."
Very grateful for these lectures 🙏 however when swamiji mentions how in the Bible that only God is good and everything else is evil , I find it to be a false claim. I think both Christianity and hinduism are deep and profound religions. Taken from online: "Seven times in Genesis 1, God observes His creation to be good. In Genesis 1:4, after He had spoken light into existence, He declared it to be good. In Genesis 1:10, after separating the water from the land, He called that good. After creating plant life, in Genesis 1:12 He saw that it was good, also. In Genesis 1:18, after putting in place a system for lighting the earth and for separating night from day, He calls that good. In Genesis 1:21, after creating animals to populate the water and the air, He observes that to be good. In Genesis 1:25, after populating the land with animals and insects, He calls that good, too. Finally, after creating humanity as the capstone of His creation (Genesis 1:26-30), He observed all He had made and declared it to be not just good but very good."

Superimpose the pot over the clay?

24:45 Can you have a pot made of nothing? what about a pot on a computer screen?
Do you remember the joke made by Swami's swami about the man who does a head stand, all the blood rushes to the head, and thus the man thinketh too much? This reminds me of that joke.
Isn’t the underlying reality of the pot ultimately “empty space” owing to the fact that clay is also made of four elements like everything else and those four elements are atoms made of a nucleus rotating in space ? ... the human is also thus rotating empty space
I understand what is clay. Please tell us what is this Brahman. How can I believe that Brahman is the underlying reality?
Meditation, yoga & devotion all are necessary to realise ur true self
Placed upon = superimposed
38.17 we can express as ....super imposed upon
faith, personal truth and personal experience aside...
can anyone explain to me why complex chemical reactions under physics, that formed ever evolving beings, is not enough to create consciousness within that being's mind, or awareness?
Couldn't we all be experiencing awareness independently and communicating these similar experiences?
If you can explain how consciousness transcends this you will remove my hangup. Thank you 🙏
implicate and explicate order? Brahman and

Yes God is good, yet, everything is God. Evil is delusion.
