ABOUT VEDANTA
Vedanta is one of the world’s most ancient religious philosophies and one of its broadest. Based on the Vedas, the sacred scriptures of India, Vedanta affirms the oneness of existence, the divinity of the soul, and the harmony of religions.
ABOUT US
Vedanta Society of New York is affiliated with the Ramakrishna Order of India. In fact, this is the Order's first Center started by Swami Vivekananda, in 1894. It was a historic event, for the seed of the world-wide Ramakrishna Movement was sown here in New York over a century ago. Swami Sarvapriyananda is the present Resident Minister and Spiritual Leader of the Vedanta Society of New York.
deep bow Swami S. Humility is such a rare thing, especially in non-dualistic conversations
Swami Vevekanand: This Universe is the wreckage of the Absolute on the shore of space, time and causation!!!
Wow! Speechless Gratitude, Swami ji 🙏
The lucidity & ease with which he explains these profound & far reaching ideas is a true marker of his wisdom. One is disarmed into letting the insight work its magic, making transcendence a living experience!! Grateful for your grace Swamiji.🙏
yes sir, perhaps this is called step- by- step or algorithmic approachin computer terminpology.....or handholding
Advaita vedanta is the most Supreme teaching as it is ready to accept 🙌 science and spirituality
That's why it is an echo of quantum physics as well as psychology and Neuro science.
Look into SANDS (Science & Non-Duality)!
It actually rejects science and laws of physics also. Everything is ultimately illusion . You can here these exact lines from same Guruji in an other lecture.
@@pavankarnam7395 Subatomic particles behave as both particles and waves hence it is neither true nor false.. it is an appearance or projection in consciousness which pervades even the tiniest atom.. Similarly in macro level, universe is a projection or appearance in Cosmic consciousness and behaves just as such where one can’t say whether it is real or false as it’s a perpetual flux so it’s accepted as a relative.. The Brahman in which Universe thus is projected is the Absolute System beyond time , space and causation.. As is micro, so is macro.. This is the very basis of quantum physics .. Universe can only be perceived if there is a witness consciousness to say that yes it’s in my experience .. If no consciousness was there, who is to say whether universe even exists or not? So no this illusion doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.. It simply means it’s a transient ever changing flux and relative which makes it obvious that within this relativity, there must be the source of it all that is eternal, never changing, Absolute.. This is Advaita Vedanta
It is the other way round Vedant is the voice and science is echo
'विविधतेतून एकता'भारतीय घोषवाक्य.. उसकी गंभीरता,depthअभी समझमें आने लगी और feel proud of our spiritual he tithe..
Deep Philosophical discussion. Everybody should try to learn from here. Big Bow to Swami Sarvapriyananda.
Man thank you for this so much. The best 20 minutes I’ve spent in a while!
Indeed! 🙏🏻🪔💐
Okay now please do some work to save Hinduism.
Plz call him guruji or prabhuji.i am sure u dont call your pope as man or woman or trans
@@sheilaroy5376 yeah man I don’t have a pope. But you do you Sheila.
Sending love and service from Santa Barbara🥰💕✌🏾🙏🏻🕊
Dream example was awesome.. more than half of vedanta can be understood just by one dream example.. Thank you very much Swami ji 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for the questioner and the Gratitude for Swami. I had the exact question in my mind and it's been answered now .
I also😌
These were questions which were simply phrased but very pointed and fundamental. Swami Sarvapriyananda with his usual wisdom took the questions head-on and gave very specific and logically elegant answers. Thank you Swami
Amazing material. Just found your channel and now it is time to plunge into it. Very accessible and yet deep speeches. Also I love the integration between East and West. Super timely.
Great philosophy , It's reality that swamiji wanted to tell
He is great and beyond all boundness
Big salutations to swamiji 🙏🌼🌺
I love your videos. I've learnt so much listening to you in the past few weeks
Thank you Swami!
Pranams! My reverence and love to the Swamijis. They have enabled me to see and feel the .Indweller in my heart. I feel a steady rise. Harih Om Tat Sat. Silva Roy
Thank you so much, Gurudev for this awesome video.
Simply & absolute 🙏
Thank you Swami.
Thank you for enlightenment.
Sir I feel divinity & calmness in your presence...My Prostrated obeisances to you.🙏
thank u Swamiji🙏🙏🙏🙏💖
🙏🙏🙏 Millions of pranaam at your humble feets Swamiji 🙏🙏🙏
🙏 Pranaams Swamiji
thank you so much swami ji for such golden knowledge
Very logical explanation of all the questions
What a question it was🙏
So Profound
Thank you 🙏🏻 💕
SMILE. This is NOT a candid camera, but much better.
Enlightening 😍
Thanks for sharing🙏
Listening to Swamiji's talks is like meditation. The avatars like Shree Rama, Shree Krishna, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Swami Vivekananda and so many enlightened ones are like waves in the One Ocean. But these waves would be aware of the underlying Reality unlike ordinary waves. Therefore being close to enlightened waves is itself enough.
Love your stuff kick on love it 👍 ❤
Your dedication to disseminating this profound knowledge is greatly appreciated.
I enjoyed the video, thanks for the upload!
Here is a request to Vedanta NY. Videos of Revered Sarvapriyanandaji Maharaj on Bhagvad Gita verse by verse seem to have been removed from UA-cam.
They were on some other channel but could you kindly upload those over your channel and oblige?
Thanks and pranams.
It's available on their channels itself titled Vedanta NewYork Archives.
Check their playlist on that channel.
Only one word comes to my mind..
Mind-blowing 😮😮😯😯
🙏🏽 swamiji ❤
हरिःऊँ, प्रणाम, स्वामीजी।
Jai Sri Ramakrishna Jai Sri Ramakrishna Jai Sri Ramakrishna Jai Sri Ramakrishna Jai Sri Ramakrishna
Great
Highly profound concepts. I have been following the teachings of Neville Goddard, and I am seeing the parallels here.
Good explaination 🤗
The transactional reality is a cosmic dream shared with all of us!
Beautifully said. Very difficult to explain these experiences in words and make the un-enlightened person imagine.....
I''m fatigued with all this advaita stuff but this was an interesting lecture, I love the Vivekananda quote. Thanks Swami ji.
What is making you fatigued about it?
@@bluelotus.society its everywhere these days and doesn’t really does or solve any of the things it claims to. It sounds like a solipsistic ideology.
@@pdigrazi I haven't
It's the mind which is fatigued not you. You are the witness consciousness of this fatigue. Be happy.😅
I have the same feeling. Except that there's a beautiful anecdote in Sri M's autobiography where an Advaita scholar had studied so much that his mind was clouded. He was sad he couldn't feel liberated at all. Until one day he gave up thinking so hard and was blissful. Kena Upanishad says one who knows cannot know. Just as reading too many art theory books and a huge palette of colours prevents one from painting. I feel Advaitins are fundamentally mistaken about reducing Brahman to only one of its attributes- consciousness. And so I believe knowledge of Physics, Chemistry or Biology can also have the same liberating effect if we approach Brahman not from a subject centred world but an object centred world. It does in my experience.
Pranam In my world i share my dreams with everyone Swamiji
Tq
Swamiji, can you talk about Sri Aurobindo and his vedanta?
Mind set.
To resetting.
Well version word
Beautiful explanation swami ji. Indirectly all religion teaches this advaita Vedanta and thuvaida vedanta. In lslamic Sufism it's called wahadatul wujood and shuhadatul wajood.

Everyone got mindf**ked in the end hahaha
Teachings of Ramana Maharshi book said the same thing in 4 and 6th page 📄🙏🏼✨
Pls make videos on Ribhu Gita& yoga vasistha
Check out Samaneri Jayasara channel!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Where is the video of the meditation practice which swamiji was refering. Please
প্রণাম মহারাজ *
I would like to know if these questions from various other sessions has been collected and recorded in a book format or if there is any book that has been authored by Swamiji? Also if yes then is it available in India? Pranaam 🙏🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏🌻🌸🌼🌺💐❤️
"The multiverse of Vedanta" coming soon
This is what a successful human being becomes 😇😇😇🌸🌼🙏
Again says The Self is to be realised by hearing of It by reflecting on It and by meditating on it This Self being realised by hearing reflection and meditation the true nature of all things is known
Truth is One's purpose is not to be alone. Hence why... The meaning of Life is Love.
(One = Self)

It's the one's own fault it perceives and experiences itself as many in a mind mood
When there is an experiencer, then only experience can be experienced. But if we say when experiencer is not there so experience of world is not there, but still there may be the existence of the materialistic world, only experiencer will not be aware of it? Can we say like this?
I have this doubt, please guide.
Pranam Maharaj !
🙏🪔
What’s going on between Shankatacharya and Bodhidharma ? Why two schools sound soooo similar like almost same ?
The queries really have depth but unfortunately the answers are brief. It would be better if the answers can be elaborated as per Advaita Vedanta principles
Good attempt Swamiji. Though I picture your answer as well as it could be understood; I am equally not able to see the reality beyond a severely failed imagination. The truth has to be experienced and not/cannot be perceived through the mind, or sensed through the organs.

Brihadaranyakopanishad says It is not for the sake of all that all are loved but it is for the sake of the Self that all are loved
How many religions in the world.
If not shruti.
Can you say turmoil.
Maya the cause is triguna, thus the effect is also triguna.
For Vedant Society NY,Vedant not religious but spiritual philosophy.2. Ved not of modernday India but ancient Bharatvarsh the geographical boundaries of which is mentioned in Scriptures.
It is Vedanta and Veda as pronounced in sanskrit
But if i die then i wont be able to experience this reality like i am experiencing now in my next life?
Birth and death are only transactional phenomenon. In the absolute reality there's no birth or death

The question that "why do we see so many when there is only 1 reality", the answer is just simple. the multiplicity we see is due to ignorance or avidya, lack of knowledge of the self, Non realisation of ones own true self leads to seeing many things other than you. Then the question is why are we ignorant or why do we have ignorance or avidya ? The answer is, there is no cause, it is innate. everybody is born with ignorance only. We acquire knowledge while growing. The self realised 1 also will see the multiplicity like others but the differences is he has lost his "sathyatvabuddhi" in it. that means he knows for sure that this world is not really real and It is all himself only
If the creation is the projection of consciousness, before conscious living organisms was there not any universe? Is big bang theory or the history of universe before existence of life is just false?
Consciousness is evenly spread throughout the universe. Consciousness pervades through living system body as well as non living. living system can witness consciousness via mind and body whereas non living can't witness consciousness although it is present in them. Before the formation of first single celled living organism or so to speak before creation of life itself on earth all materials of universe were insentient beings without mind so they can't witness consciousness.👍
@@humanist7619 I like your reply. But when I think, I realize notion of time and space is invalid without consciousness. So, there cannot be no history without consciousness.
Consciousness is the basis of the entire universe. It was there before the creation of the universe, so everything, even all that is inert or insenscient is Within consciousness. Everything functions within it's boundaries, all human beings, animals, plants, all Laws of Nature like Gravity, electromagnetism etc. even those not yet discovered by science as on today.. Consciousness encompasses all there is and nothing can be excluded.
How do I appear as many? I don't know. But it's fun.
Interfaces.
It doesn't. Stop trying to be ALL of the Infinite number of Infinite Beings. Just be Infinite You. That is more than enough to keep you occupied for Eternity. All the Best to You!
this is Brahmins projections, several grades above us, we live in his dream world. yet we are pieces of the ultimate. what wonders!
Words, words who knows? Ancient alien UNKNOWN to mankind maybe, maybe...best not to think on it...it's incomprehensible whatever that means
We always talk in duality,how there is Advait.
Because the word "water" does not make us wet, quench our thirst, or let us swim.
@@shamanchemistry8726 beautifully said!
Wow beautiful and efficient answer
like in dream
Strange that something immaterial should be the root of the material. Yet it seems to be so.
See the problem right here is the anthropocentric concepts and dichotomies being taken as granted without proper investigation into their fundamental meanings. What do we define as material? And what do we define as immaterial? As an ex-theoretical physicist I can assure that not two theoretical physicists fundamentally speaking would agree on the nature of what we casually call matter. As far as we know objectively (and there is an inherent limitation in our current so-called modern epistemological approach to physicalism) matter fundamentally speaking is nothing but forms of 'energy' (yet another taken for granted notion) which has very contradictory behaviours (e.g. QM wave/particle duality). In other words, matter can be reduced to pure empty space as the vacuum which itself hypothesised to be in the constant state of flux and change.
So matter can be easily reduced to non-matter or beyond-matter. On the other hand immaterial is also a purely abstract anthropocentric concept which has been invented in the language to represent 'something' that is the opposite of 'matter'. While in reality nature does not work like that nor the our thoughts and imaginations and speculations can ever reach that which stands beyond language. It does not mean there is no way to experience that ineffable absolute, I'm sure there is as I personally had glimpses of that experiences; however, the physicalist objective approach and its epistemology and definitions are not enough for that.
See, here we have two problems, first one is the problem of language which is usually shoved under the rug as we most of the times are not even aware of such a problem. We perhaps unconsciously taken for granted our purely anthropocentric ideas and concepts too seriously and for real that we do not even see that they are not fundamental at all and need to be deconstructed in every context first.
The second problem is the problem of epistemology, in which we believe (perhaps based on hundreds of years of cultural/societal/religious brainwash, specially in the West) the current epistemology and ways of acquiring knowledge is ONLY through reductionism, physicalism and (seemingly) objective investigation of a phenomenon. In this epistemology objective reality is taken to be real (without providing any fundamental proof for such absurd belief), hence nobody even dares to speak about other possible approaches and epistemologies that could help us go even deeper in our journey. The funny thing is that, if you ask any unbiased, open minded physicist about the nature of so-called objective reality, almost all of them would respond by saying that they are not sure it's objective at all when it's been fundamentally examined!
@@konnektlive
He doesnt understand that energy is also material but formless..
Take example of lightening..
These people think that only some form gives rise to form ..which is not so..actually formless gives rise to form ..😂
@@konnektlive yes sir, swami has categorically staed that matter and mind are interchangeable.and alas,he died at a young age of 39 .Had he lived a few more years he would have been thrilled to hear the formula E =minto c squared and he would have been vindicated .Also pl remember thatthe scientist TESLA who invented induction motor was his admirerand wanted to collaborate with VivekanandaThe western audience was electrified to hear from swamiji when velocity becomes infinity the substance wholly becomes energy...excuse for my inadequacy
