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.

In the end, there is a greeting "Thank you for watching". I really wonder if it's we who have to say that. If the Vedanta Society says so, I am really humbled by their kindness and zeal to dispel ignorance in us. Once again grateful to Swami Sarvapriyanandaji for his lucid teaching!

Physics is on the side of the Advaitin now with the Nobel prize for physics being given to the team that proved that there is no such thing as local Reality . 🙏✝️🕉️

[@endgcns7399]

Epr paradox being proved ! ❤

[@MyNameIsThe_Sun]

Physics has nothing to do with what is being mentioned here imo. Very clearly this has to do with metaphyics/philosophy of the human experience. For example a very basic claim such as samsara, has no scientific basis, nor is it a falsifiable or testable claim.

[@endgcns7399]

@@MyNameIsThe_Sun not quntam physics !

[@laoxianmodi]

@@MyNameIsThe_Sun do you know anything about quantum physics? Do you know the concept of super imposition and entanglement? Please go and read about it. Of course quantum physics does not ideally talk about Brahman like vedanta instead talks about anu or quantum particle or an atom but the concept is same..

[@rudragoswami444]

I have a question if some can help me in that.. If I am bramhan and all other things are just projection of bramhan, then everyone else will just be projection from my point of view, but from their point of view they will be bramhan and I will be a projection, I am confused in this. Further, if the goal is self realisation and moksha then if one person gets moksha then why do all of us don't get it considering that we all are indeed one, one getting moksha and another not, doesn't it create dualism ? Please enlighten me on these points.

[@shivananda747]

@@rudragoswami444 all your questions are answered by swamiji in earlier videos. Stay put and hold your questions they will get resolved or dissolved. Hold on to guru and acharya every thing will be cleared

[@persischhapkhanawalla3402]

A very logical question when asked from a mind body complex. But, when you say 'me' you are not referring to your real self. You are identifying with your mind and body. On realization 'you' do not get moksh rather the absolute is freed from 'you'. The real self was anyway always free. It was wrongly entangled with a particular mind and body. Now it is free from that mind and body. Do check out the video 'what happens after enlightenment' by swamiji. Also the video 'your real nature'.

[@jyotikoul5149]

Adhyasa Bhashya lectures is what I have been waiting for. Thank you Swami ji.

[@hantergidi]

@@rudragoswami444 here are my two cents on your question. When you say you are Brahman and others are projection, who are "you" here? Because you(as in your body/ mind) is also a projection along with others. So if you are pointing to your body as brahman, and others as projection that would be wrong. Secondly goal of moksha is to know you are Brahman. The one making a breakthrough is your body/mind. Brahman is already eternal and same for all. It's just that in your current body, we don't realise we are that brahman and not this body mind. And if you realise it , it does not mean brahman realised and it's broadcasted to whole universe.... It means YOU in your current body realized that your true nature is brahman. This won't affect anyone else since they are also trapped in their bodies. I hope I clarified to some extent
