Thank you Swamiji for giving us such clarity through your teachings! I need to listen to these again and again to make the conviction a part of myself and live life accordingly. Pranams to you🙏🏼🙏🏼
I like Swami too. But what you have written is an overstatement. Comparisons shouldn't be done. Swami Vivekananda was in much higher order. He was perfect in everything, but again I won't compare him with his Guru Bcoz Thakur was above perfection.
The rearest gem among the gems, you are simply the best, thank you to god for opportunity to hear such a wondreful all your talks , i really admire respect and love you swamiji
I always feel that you are Brahmagyani, or you know what the supreme is. We can only imagine how much knowledge you do have. If I could ever touch your feet. 🙏🙏🙏💐💐
I humbly prostrate at your lotus feet Swameejee! I liked the example of moon light and sun light regarding reflected and pure consciousness, so clear it is!
Jai Thakur !!! What a wonderful opportunity . For many of us getting an opportunity to hear to Swamiji will be one of the greatest moment of our life . Abd being associated with Vedanta is probably the best choice we made . After getting this opportunity i think the biggest challenge for Vedantist is to realize the SELF .That is the ultimate goal . I am not comparing swami to swami sarvapriyananda.
Swami ji ..lot of regards..i m vivid student of yours..i usually wonder are there really people who are enlightened...how they behave ..hove they live..do they all are monk??? plz do answer if you ever read my query🙏
just as reflected consciousness knows of its own mind, is pure consciousness knows of all minds? or pure consciousness is just a witness or spectator of all minds? From the point of view of dreams example, I am only a spectator or witness, and I knows only one mind, but not everyone’s mind who is appearing in my dreams. Does anyone have answers to my questions?
Why does the underlying one-ness/consciousness require that the reflection (our subtle body + causal body) come to the Advaita/enlightenment realization.. otherwise, if it does not, it must continue to transmigrate to another body? BTW, Sadhguru suggests that once you make it to the age of 84, enlightened or not, your connection to the earth is sufficiently weak where you don't have to return after death! And upon death, how is your enlightenment judged? I get that your unique perspective is a product of mind/body, the real thing is the underlying Atman consciousness, so after enlightenment/death what will be your experience? Dolores Cannon / Anabela Cordoso suggest there are entities in the post-death dimension that are helping humans raise their consciousness. Finally, what does this say about the purpose of one's life.. or the best use of one's time on its effect on Karma. For example, having no/kids, vocation / money / selfishness-passion, traffic/anger, etc. If the purpose of life is to come to this God realization is that the same as those that devote their lives to their (Christian, Islam, etc) religion? And what does this one-ness suggest about Free-Will? And how are things like ghosts, remove-viewing, telepathy, and the host of other paranormal activity explained by the framework of Vedānta? Would love to see a discussion between Bernardo Kastrup and Swami Sarvapriyananda about the meaning if it all.. what is the one consciousness' goal, ex. Telos.
Swamyji aren't you GOD. You know it all and aren't we too something special especially with all the facilities we have and only requiring we believe or truly know.
Why do you think anyone needs to go to church when millions of Christians have stopped going themselves. If you read Bible and researched the history behind it, you will also leave the church and embrace Hinduism.
Swami Sarvapriyananda could have taught anything he wanted and succeeded. He's a great teacher. He could have pursued literally anything and taught it at Ivy league colleges if he wished, he has the capability. But he devoted his life to God, to the self. All of us, even in worldly life, can carry and realize the essence of his renunciation. I love you Swamiji ☺️
Swamiji, a realized person who truly knows she is brahman may overcome suffering, but how can one not suffer when one's child is suffering? It almost seems selfish to pursue vedantic self realization while that suffering goes on. It s after all the nature of a mother to care for her child. Pranam Swamiji
@@manjarichatterji9349 how helpful is your suffering if your child suffers? You do what has to be done. That's effective, that's wise, that is the best carrying for a child.
@@manjarichatterji9349 helping the child = karma yoga. “Perform your prescribed duty, for action is better than inaction. A man cannot even maintain his physical body without work.” - Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3 Verse 8. If the child’s suffering is beyond your help, try to have faith in God’s plan for your child.
Every time I hear Swami Sarvapriyananda speak I think he's giving the greatest talk I've ever heard, but this one really is. The segment on the nature of awakening is so powerful.
Absolutely spot on .. that helped me to understand some of the loopy logic and explanation I had heard , it's a event , it's a realisation .. but flowering the found seed of bramhan and manifesting it in own life at material level .. that is so freeing ..
I am now sufficiently old to realize through Swamijis lectures and discussions that I was ignorant that I already knew all that he says through conversations I have had over the years, When he explains it so simply I realize that I did not even know that I already knew it !
Hari Om Swamiji 🙏 🙏🙏 Such profound knowledge explained so beautifully that even I who is very dumb, can get into bliss listening to Swamiji..how I wish this could be part of the curriculum at a very early stage throughout the globe, so as to have a beautiful human existence all around which can meaningfully coexist with the beautiful nature.
En una corta visita a NY tuve el privilegio de encontrarme con el Swami en Central Park, esa ha sido una inesperada bendición, pues sigo sus videos desde hace 2 años. Om, Santi, Shanti, Shanti.
Swami Sarvapriyananda's memory is phenomenal. He remembers so many scriptural quotes and effortlessly recollects them at appropriate time in his discourses and answers. It is a great fortune that we have him in our life time. Sometimes I feel I missed Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda, but then take comfort in that Swami is around here to bring the light of the scriptures and the lineage of gurus. In reference to 25:40 where Swami says that the caste system is frozen sometime in the "ancient" time in India, I disagree with it somewhat. Also, Swami seems to equate "Varna Dharma" (based on guna-karma or tendencies and activities) with the "Kula dharma" (caste, based on tribal affiliation or affinity of relationships, combined with life style). This equivalence is imposed by the invaders. Kula does not have any scriptural support while Varna has vedic injunctions. Varna is not inherited but the Kula is. Varna doesn't seem to have any specific prescribed deity/dieties, while Kula has "Kula Devatas" to be worshipped by all kaulas. There are few other differences that make Varna and Kula distinct. What we see in today's India is a caste system (Kula) trying to justify itself as scripturally supported Class system (Varna). This weird system gathered bad parts from both systems and flourished with the support of invaders. Historical evidence also strongly suggests the same. In light of this history, we cannot conclude that the ancient India (whatever time period Swami refers to unless it is after the foreign invaders from 7th century on wards) has frozen caste system based on four Varnas.
As far as I know, Caste is Jati. The word for Kula is Clan. Because within the same Jaati, there can be many Kulas. I am a Maithil Brahmin but my paternal village's Kula Devi is different from my maternal village's Kula Devata. We also use Kula and Khaandaan interchangeably these days. But Jaati, Gotra, Kula, and Mool are all different categories used by us. In light of this, Would you rephrase your reply or like to add anything more?
@@rdc515 As far as I see in South Indian languages, Jati is used to refer loosely to race or people from a country of origin. It is not on any official forms but Kula is. Whites are a Jati, Turkish invaders are a Jati, British are a Jati. Tribals are Jati. All Indians are a Jati (Bharatha Jati - descendants of Bharatha). Kula is not directly related to Jati based on linguistic use of Jati. Jati does not have any religious or traditional injunctions on worship, diet, and customs as far as I know. Kula is more well defined term and is used in reservations and official categories. In this context, Swami also did not refer to Jati in anyway. As far as I know, Jati is not relatable to Varna or Kula, even though certain regions in India might have used it loosely to refer to them.
@@YogAroodha varna on the basis of guna as referred by Sri Krishna was a most scientific & if righty followed even today ,will give the best result for true development of the country . Present day ,the degradation of the society is mainly due to the reason that persons inborn quality don't suit what he do,so the quality of the work they do suffer. If a soldier's inborn quality doesn't similar to a kshatriya, during war & when employed to defend the country or the place ,he will not perform that well where great valour is required. Corruption in police & other forces are due to wrong selection,where inborn kshatriya quality of the person not rightly assessed.
@@bhattacharya6774 How do we find out inborn quality of a human being and at what age should that test be given? If we don't know somebody's inborn quality, we cannot conclude their inborn quality doesn't suit what they are doing. All Indian soldiers entered the service voluntarily without drafting them. Therefore, they all must be considered Kshatriyas. This also agrees with Lord Krishna's description - Guna & Karma - in this case, just based on Karma, because Gunas are not assessed directly. Swami must be considered a Brahmin without regard to his birth caste, because he dedicated his life to Brahma Jnana Sadhana, again just based on Karma only. This should be the same for all Varnas.
I once attended a lecture by Swami Sarvapriyananda, in which he told the story of a young monk of the Ramakrishna Order, who was suddenly stricken by an incurable disease, and within a few days he died at the hospital. But the core of the lecture was that the doctor who attended the monk was devastated by the suffering and death of such a young person, but the monk consoled him, saying that everything was fine, because the meaning of his life had already been fulfilled to discover devotion to God through Sri Ramakrishna, Sarada Devi, Swami Vivekananda, and that the doctor was very impressed to see that concrete manifestation of the miracle of faith. I cannot find the video of this lecture. Could anyone here tell me in which video I could find this story? Some friends and I have created a channel to subtitle Swami's videos into Portuguese, and I would love to be able to subtitle this one too. Thank you.
But caste is a European (spanish) word. And the caste system in Europe was far more frozen than in India precisely because they did not have the Dharma! The current crises in India is politicization of caste which has led to casteism. And we have enough reason to believe that these fault lines were created or used by the colonial powers to divide the Indian society. So I dont think I am completely with Swamiji on this!
Swami Sarvapriyananda is a veritable gift to humanity. His eloquence, deep and expansive knowledge, ability to explain complex topics in lay terms is simply unmatched.
Swamiji , my heartfelt obeisance to your lotus feet. Swamiji, You are like the lord Surya who keeps his fire and give us his loving warmth to us in the form of teachings... Your teachings and lecture truly ensure your students have "learnt".
Oh! It appeared, it ended abruptly! Such was the power of the talks ,I thought he should continue more & more!!. Thanks to the questioners also ,they helped Swamiji to explore deep into the talk ,as they asked really pertinent questions. If after such positive discussions, we don't mold our lives in a positive manner, it's entirely our fault .
Excellent questions and I learned a lot from Swamy Sarvapriyananda. With regards to the final question, I googled whether Carl Jung. visited Ramana Maharshi. Carl Jung did not meet Ramana Maharshi in spite of Heinrich Zimmer's expectation. Zimmer was a great admirer of Ramana Maharshi. It looks like Carl Jung was not fascinated with Ramana or any other gurus and he was very dismissive of Ramana Maharshi. Apparently, this is what Jung said about the Maharishi. Carl Jung said that" Ramana's desire to escape the ego is self-contradictory because, without the Maharshi's personal ego, there would be no Shri Ramana at all". Jung also wrote: " For the fact is, I doubt his uniqueness; he is of a type which always was and will be. Therefore it was not necessary to seek him out. I saw him all over India, in the pictures of Ramakrishna, in Ramakrishna’s disciples, in Buddhist monks, in innumerable other figures of the daily Indian scene, and the words of his wisdom are the sous-entendu of India’s spiritual life. Shri Ramana is, in a sense, a hominum homo, a true “son of man” of the Indian earth. He is “genuine,” and on top of that he is a “phenomenon” which, seen through European eyes, has claims to uniqueness."
Guru, thank you. Clear understandable explanations of ancient profound teachings applied to modern life and its struggles alleviate pain and sufferings. Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice! Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
Where do we send questions for these live sessions and even in general? I came across recently to Swami Sarvapriyananda’s videos. Such a wealth of knowledge explained in laymans terms. Thank you Vedanta NY for uploading them.
Questions with timestamps: 5.10 Relationship between reflected consciousness chidhabhasa and witness consciousness Sakshi. Does reflection consciousness cease to exist after death? 19.10 what's my swadharma..my own duty 35.16 what is the difference between witness sakshi and knower pramaatha 41.25 where does Ramakrishna fit in this jiva, iswara and jagath.

Any meaning to be found in the content of our dreams
Am going to attend Dol Utsab at 11 am w8th Schiol Children tofay is not Dol but just to Avoid public By 1 p.m. will be reaching here Very near to our Abasik. Bye. May be 100 times excused.
Why does infinite consciousness (brahman) takes finite consciousness (reflected)..I know that you can't ask why when talking of brahman...because causality is maya..But how to grasp it..(brahman)
Does pure consciousness also sleep & dream like us ? If not, where is this subject and object appears? To appear, one has to dream or imagine. I am asking so bcoz gurus are speaks that pure consciousness is ever awake like sun is shining. The second question is, Is this Maya's another name for Deep Sleep & Dream?
Good contradiction! One moment he says its like that and another moment its not like that. I can see why everything will come under achinta bhedabhed philosophy. Simultaneously one and different. Nitai Gauranga.
Swamiji said reflected consciousness travel with mind but how a reflection can there be without the original and original will not go then reflection can't go on it's own. So what goes is the impression that has been accumulated while being in body ...is it not so.??
NamaskaraH, how can i join life sessions? I haves subscribed for all channels, news-letters etc. But i cannot find a link. What Upanishada Swami SarwapriyAnanda teaches now?
@@spiritualseeker. Yes, i see everything what is available on the channel... so many amazing recordings.. but Swami gives life sessions as i understand... I want to know his schedule and how to participate. I am from other country and it would be great to be on life online sessions...
Swami ji pranam, Stories about birth of Bhagwaan RAM and Bhagwaan KRISHNA is that they didn't born through womb of mother, is it so for Bhagwaan RAMAKRISHNA?
They both were born through womb of mother, it could be virgin birth, but that's not a necessary thing. Yes you can read that in Shri Ramkrishna Leelaprasanga
Swami Sarvapriyananda has got exceptionally great way of explaining the great vedanta in simple words. I seems to understand a bit of it. I am listening to his talks for the last 2 years. I discovered him on Soundcloud during the covid lockdown days. I listened to his vedanta talks on Bhagavad Gita , I completed listening his 80 talks, now its 6th chapter. Swamiji you are doing great, I am really thankful to you. I wish to meet you in person some time in near future. I work n live in Pune India.
It is always a great pleasure to listen to your words of wisdom. Always looking for your discourses. They all demystify my doubts .My salutations and regards.
just as reflected consciousness knows of its own mind, is pure consciousness knows of all minds? or pure consciousness is just a witness or spectator of all minds?
For the first question, swami mentioned that subtle body goes from one life to another as transmigration. Subtle body consists of mind, memory, experiences, etc. if that IS transmigrated, why don’t I remember anything from past life, why do I have to learn fire is hot and 1+1=2, etc. as per swami Vivekananda, only proof of rebirth is that some characteristics or maturity in thought process different for different persons and many time it cannot be explained by DNA, hence it has to be accumulated from past birth. I still haven’t heard convincing argument or explanation of what and how transmigrates you rebirth. can this be a question for next Q&A @Vedanta New York?
I learned yoga, in 1975,Geneva,from Sivananda yoga centre, and now devotee of Krishna!

But what you have written is an overstatement.

Oh! It appeared, it ended abruptly! Such was the power of the talks ,I thought he should continue more & more!!.
Thanks to the questioners also ,they helped Swamiji to explore deep into the talk ,as they asked really pertinent questions.
If after such positive discussions, we don't mold our lives in a positive manner, it's entirely our fault .
Excellent questions and I learned a lot from Swamy Sarvapriyananda.
With regards to the final question, I googled whether Carl Jung. visited Ramana Maharshi. Carl Jung did not meet Ramana Maharshi in spite of Heinrich Zimmer's expectation. Zimmer was a great admirer of Ramana Maharshi. It looks like Carl Jung was not fascinated with Ramana or any other gurus and he was very dismissive of Ramana Maharshi.
Apparently, this is what Jung said about the Maharishi.
Carl Jung said that" Ramana's desire to escape the ego is self-contradictory because, without the Maharshi's personal ego, there would be no Shri Ramana at all".
Jung also wrote: " For the fact is, I doubt his uniqueness; he is of a type which always was and will be. Therefore it was not necessary to seek him out. I saw him all over India, in the pictures of Ramakrishna, in Ramakrishna’s disciples, in Buddhist monks, in innumerable other figures of the daily Indian scene, and the words of his wisdom are the sous-entendu of India’s spiritual life. Shri Ramana is, in a sense, a hominum homo, a true “son of man” of the Indian earth. He is “genuine,” and on top of that he is a “phenomenon” which, seen through European eyes, has claims to uniqueness."
Guru, thank you.
Clear understandable explanations of ancient profound teachings applied to modern life and its struggles alleviate pain and sufferings.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice!
Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!

Net .
Life science.
Yet to come.
Why does infinite consciousness (brahman) takes finite consciousness (reflected)..I know that you can't ask why when talking of brahman...because causality is maya..But how to grasp it..(brahman)
Psycho Analysis & Spirituality in Treating mental problems good insight . I like to follow by being Spiritual become Moral & Ethical takes & helps 🙏🏼
Does pure consciousness also sleep & dream like us ? If not, where is this subject and object appears? To appear, one has to dream or imagine. I am asking so bcoz gurus are speaks that pure consciousness is ever awake like sun is shining.
The second question is, Is this Maya's another name for Deep Sleep & Dream?
Good contradiction! One moment he says its like that and another moment its not like that. I can see why everything will come under achinta bhedabhed philosophy. Simultaneously one and different. Nitai Gauranga.
Swamiji said reflected consciousness travel with mind but how a reflection can there be without the original and original will not go then reflection can't go on it's own. So what goes is the impression that has been accumulated while being in body ...is it not so.??
NamaskaraH, how can i join life sessions? I haves subscribed for all channels, news-letters etc. But i cannot find a link. What Upanishada Swami SarwapriyAnanda teaches now?
@@spiritualseeker. Yes, i see everything what is available on the channel... so many amazing recordings.. but Swami gives life sessions as i understand... I want to know his schedule and how to participate. I am from other country and it would be great to be on life online sessions...
Wonderful clear teaching

Swami ji pranam,
Stories about birth of Bhagwaan RAM and Bhagwaan KRISHNA is that they didn't born through womb of mother, is it so for Bhagwaan RAMAKRISHNA?
They both were born through womb of mother, it could be virgin birth, but that's not a necessary thing.
Yes you can read that in
Shri Ramkrishna Leelaprasanga

Swami Sarvapriyananda has got exceptionally great way of explaining the great vedanta in simple words. I seems to understand a bit of it. I am listening to his talks for the last 2 years. I discovered him on Soundcloud during the covid lockdown days. I listened to his vedanta talks on Bhagavad Gita , I completed listening his 80 talks, now its 6th chapter. Swamiji you are doing great, I am really thankful to you. I wish to meet you in person some time in near future. I work n live in Pune India.
Swami Vivekanada a Monk who will always be irreplaceable 😍!
I wish, I spread teachings of swami Vivekanada by studing all his texts.
It is always a great pleasure to listen to your words of wisdom. Always looking for your discourses. They all demystify my doubts .My salutations and regards.
Swameeji,
Pranam !
Dream to see you at Vedanta Society ,New York.
At moment in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India .
Namate, Swameeji !
Wish to see you at Vedanta Society, New York .
Now I am at Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India.
just as reflected consciousness knows of its own mind, is pure consciousness knows of all minds? or pure consciousness is just a witness or spectator of all minds?
Namaskaram Swamiji,
Could you please share the e-Mail id for sending question for next Q&A session.
If Ramakrishna is an incarnation ( Ever liberated) , why did he have to go through self inquiry ?
Just as Reflected Consciousness is aware of its own Mind, is Pure Consciousness aware of all Minds?
Swami is someone rare who opens up the possibilities of understanding like no one else I have experienced.
How would you compare Swami Sarvapriyananda to Sadhguru ?
For the first question, swami mentioned that subtle body goes from one life to another as transmigration. Subtle body consists of mind, memory, experiences, etc. if that IS transmigrated, why don’t I remember anything from past life, why do I have to learn fire is hot and 1+1=2, etc. as per swami Vivekananda, only proof of rebirth is that some characteristics or maturity in thought process different for different persons and many time it cannot be explained by DNA, hence it has to be accumulated from past birth. I still haven’t heard convincing argument or explanation of what and how transmigrates you rebirth. can this be a question for next Q&A @Vedanta New York?
Do Vipassana meditation or do more meditation yo will remember past life many Vipassana practitioners learnt their past life
Namaste Swamiji 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
हरिःऊँ, प्रणाम, स्वामीजी।
Thanks so much swamiji
Excellent as usual
