You are incredible Swami ji 🙏 I have got into the habit of listening to your magical discourses now 🙏 ultimately found The Guru ji I had been in search, since I got the question who am I....since the beginning of gaining consciousness....around 2 years/3 years of age...i never told anyone... thinking that they will laugh at me. You are telling, all what I wanted to know 🙏🙏 long live Swami ji 🙏🌹my pranaam 🙏
Beginning of gaining consc?Does it mean the awareness reg.ones name,sex,ambience etc??
I lived in mysore for four years . Totally loved the city. Just as swamiji told about two boys story, I remembered stuffed tiger at famous hotel owned by royals of Mysore.
What is that story?

".......To see the water in the waves, do you look at the waves or look away from the waves? ..........." Can't touch this!
How beautifully is the clarity on desha kala vastu brought into the 8-limbed practice!
Om namo bagavate Sri Ramakrishnaya 🙏🎉❤
Namaskar Swamiji, on listening your lectures on Aparokshanubhuti till here I realised the meaning of “Brahmanadam Param Sukhadam” , and its amazing! Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The infinite presence where the absentee differred Self and its universe flashes like a mirage, is Consciousness. The mightiest and the mother of all other mights.
Hari Om 🙏
Gradually discovering a goldmine 🙏
In all experiences of the world, whether tempting or terrifying , is none other than Bramhan.
Can't be more clearer Swamiji..... How we fall pray to objects: "First we lend them existence separate from us, next we assign value to it, finally we want it"
Pranam, Pujya Swamiji.
Shat Shat Pranam swamiji
Thank you Swamiji ♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏
World is stuffed tiger..don't fear..thank you
DHARNA reminds me about a Shlok in Marathi. ज्या ज्या ठिकाणी मन जाय माझे॥ त्या त्या ठिकाणी निजरूप तुझे ॥ मी ठेविते मस्तक ज्या ठिकाणी ॥ तेथे तुझे सद्गुरु पाय दोन्ही ॥
Ramdas swami Naa

Most respectful Pranams to revered Maharaj-ji. Gratitude to the spiritual friends of VSNY. One small comment (with due apology). Are we, the human beings, are really the product of evolution as proposed by Darwin? The best science of today tells us a completely different story. In this connection, I would draw your kind attention to an interesting book published recently, namely---"human by design : from evolution by chance to transformation by choice" by GREGG BRADEN, Hay House, USA, p. 5-37.
Lec 35 NOTES:
121:
Pratyahara:
Ahara: Dragging things from outside inwards. Eating and breathing in are such examples. This is why our minds are constantly enslaved by sense organs. Prat- means opposite. So we give up dragging things inwards and don’t let our minds be occupied by sense organs.
Q: How to do?
A: Make the senses one with the mind. If the mind thinks of something, the senses will follow the mind. The mind is the queen bee and the sense organs are like the other bees. If you keep the mind steady, the other senses will be so too.
The flower that you look at it, is not actually outside but rather, just within your mind. You’re only looking at an image and feeling the sensation of touch - all of these processes happens just within your mind.
Yoga says “close your eyes” but Vedanta says “ look at it and see that it is nothing but Brahman”. Adhyasa - giving something value.
It makes perfect sense that we are not satisfied because we already over-estimate the amount of satisfaction from the activities, that is how modern economy and advertisement works - hedonism trap. Nature has certain purposes to be satisfied by us, the biological machines. This is satisfied by pleasure impulses. Ex: Sugar trap and Savannas. The purposes of biology are served but you as a being of consciousness aren’t.
1. Pratyahara : Take object and see consciousness in that
2. Dharana: Focus on space. Keep the mind focus and bound on that particular space.
3. Dhyana: All the time, keeping the mind on Brahman.
122:
Dharana: Wherever the mind goes, if you can see Brahman there, that is Dharana.
One way: Desha Bandha - Fix the boundaries in space. “Keep the mind on the lotus of the heart.”
Second way: Keep your eyes in a pica of a particular picture, like focusing on a picture of a deity.
In Pratyahara, you see object and see that it is not real, you withdraw. Focusing and staying on it and seeing it as Brahman is Dharana.

Thank you
Only BRAHMAN is .
Can someone please tell me if there is a way for me to get a of this or any Vedanta classes b y swama Sarvapriyananda? please
Transcripts aren't available. You'll have to create them
Nice
Please let me know where to contact Mr Mansukhani I am from Delhi
All the inputs of the 5 sense organs are in minds, so all are happening in mind.
The light has fallen on the flower.
The reflected light fall on eyes.
In eye an image is created by retina and then transmitted to brain as electric impulses by optic nerve so no more as images.
The actual image of flower is created in mind by Chitta . Chitta is part of mind which is responsible for photography .Chitta manifest the flower in mind.
Namaste swami... I have a doubt.. My body and mind shines because of Brahman which gives existence to it. If everything in this universe exists, then does my dead body also exists after death?
Other form.. in ashes and dissolved in river , may become water sand something , or evaporates in air ,but in different form always
Let's say I'm suffering. I understand from AV that...
(1) I'm not suffering
(2) My mind is not suffering
(3) The mind (or this mind) through which I'm experiencing this universe (i.e.. mind+body+world) is suffering
Thus, it is THEORETICALLY clear to me that I beyond this mind n body... and I'm brahman.
I also THEORETICALLY understand that I'm brahman, and the universe is nothing but brahman appearing as universe due to the projecting+veiling power of maya, and there is nothing out there apart from brahman.
If everything is brahman, and if I'm that brahman, WHY AM I ABLE TO EXPERIENCE THE SUFFERING ONLY THROUGH THIS PARTICULAR MIND❓WHY AM I UNABLE TO EXPERIENCE THE SUFFERING IN MY FRIEND'S MIND❓ (pls note, suffering is used as an example)
CAN ANYONE PLS ANSWER THIS❓❓❓
IF SOMEONE FROM VEDANTA SOCIETY READS THIS MSG, COULD U PLS FORWARD TIHS QUESTION TO SWAMI SARVAPRIYANANDA OR OTHER AV TEACHERS❓
-- Madhukiran
It's because your friends mind is different from your mind
@@ankitraval2893 Thanks for replying!
It was 3 years ago! I was new to AV. Now I got the answer. It's obvious, but I was looking for a theoretical answer with philosophical touch :)
As per design a mind can experience information in the memory attached to it and data coming into it via the 5 senses that are part of the body attached to it.
Yet, all this is Maya as it's part of the universe
It's Not Saenskritt (सैंस्कृट) it's Sanskrit (संस्कृत)! And it's हिमालय, Not हिमलया!
Pranam Guruji 🙏
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
