I recently listened to Prof Bryant on Vedanta New York's page (during the commemoration of the 150th Birth Anniversary of Swami Abhedananda). It was incredibly enlightening. He is a great speaker and so knowledgeable. Thanks for having him on your show!
I had the privilege of studying with Professor Bryant at Rutgers University. I took every class he offered. He definitely planted a seed of love for Brahman within me and I have the utmost respect his devotion and example. Much love to you Professor Bryant!
He is an extraordinary teacher! You are so fortunate ( and so smart) to have so many opportunities to learn from him. He is truly on fire 🔥 in this talk.
Hey! I want to be on your show too! Nice to see E F Bryant and hear how he presents his take is on the YSoP. With Zoom you can join the discussion here in Portland sometime. 9am PST every Friday. I'd love for the folks who sit it to meet you.
12:25 I like Professor Bryant but he's making false claims here. Advaita Vedanta has always been the most popular interpretation of the Upanishads. Other schools are of Vedanta are not as popular he claims. Also he claims that "Atman is eternally individual..". That's just not true. The Upanishadic sentence "Tat Tvam Asi" (That Thou Art) does not make sense if Atman is individual.
Advaita is not that much popular Adi Shankaracharya is popular not his philosophy the Kashmir shaiviates are very much opposed to Advaita and also the tantric and Shakti are also and then natural opposition The Vaishnavas are very much opposed to Advaita Vedanta.
@@kikiflynn Please just use logic and compassion. Since, factually, all of real Yoga is all about the Hindu religion; then the teachers of any aspect of Yoga are Hindus. Today's so-called "yoga teachers" are not only not Hindus but most actually deny the Hindu/Yoga connection. Of course, one who is teaching comparative religions is simply doing that. But for the professor to then sanction phony yoga studios and teachers is the height of ignorance.
Are you actually aware of his personal spiritual yoga practice/sadhana? He is more than just an academic scholar. Don’t assume about people. Yes, many yoga studios are for business and physical exercise; but there is a gradual “Trojan horse” bridging for people… someone goes in for a stretch, later takes up more satvic lifestyle & vegetarian diet, and a year later they are on pilgrimage in holy Dhama :)

This is simply promoting phony yoga
Why do you say phony?
