Conversations on Compassion with Sri M & Dr. James Doty

We were deeply honored to host spiritual guide, social reformer, educator and writer, Sri M, for a privately recorded conversation with CCARE's founder and director, Dr. James Doty, on August, 8, 2018.
This conversation takes you through Sri M's brief encounter during his childhood at the tender age of 9 that eventually led him on his spiritual path. Sri M reminisces his childhood as it relates to his family, his need to feel unrestrained when he started practicing meditation and reading the literature, on to his relationship with his Master, Maheswarnath Babaji, in the early years of his training.
Join us as Sri M takes you through his life-long spiritual journey to date through stories and a good sense of humor.

Years ago I was walking home from a Buddhist meeting when I had an experience of what I think of as 'Cosmic Compassion'. I 'saw' with my inner eyes, large 'snowflakes' drifting down from the sky (it was night-time). I then experienced a feeling not of this earth. It was compassion but not as we know it on earth, there are no words to describe it. It was more gentle and refined than our human compassion, more ethereal, without the human element. Later, I thought of Shakespeare's words: "The quality of mercy is not strain'd, it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath:" I love Sri M's videos.

Really love Sri M's humility and sincerity. Never tire listening to his talks

So simple and unaffected despite having achieved sublimity.

Yes hes great but doesnt act like hes special in any way .

[@dp-vm2wh]

Sri M's humility is something I look up to. Just the sincerity in his voice and sweetness is so attractive and soothing. 🙏

[@behindthenarrativeteam3757]

Amazing talk! The value of this Yogi and his knowledge that he is sharing with us is un measurable.

[@utubetruthteller]

Why don't Indian university has departments of compassion and spirituality. Spiritual leaders can give talks to the students it will be great if they have such arrangements.

[@madhavraje2275]

My Guru Bandhu Dada Dhagamwar way back used refer to "Sahaj Yogi" while discussing. I realised that connotation and feel with that referance Sri M is a real "Sahaj Yogi". Let's watch him to learn for ourselves. 2 very important message to carry home are (1) Practice meditation, and (2) Read as many Scriptures as possible. Shree Swami Samarth arpan मस्तु.

[@inciozsendil]

Many thanks you both for this great conversation. According to a resource that has been shared by someone who I trusted: "The Abrahamic religions, Islam, Judaism and Christianity and all subsidiaries are entirely patriarchal in nature and their scriptures were formally put together in the 5th centrury, which corresponds more or less with the set up of Vedic India by the Shanaracharyas. Adi Shankaracharya lived in the 8th century and was responsibile for destroying the ancient Indian scriptures and replacing them with writings in Sanskrit language designed to prove that Advaita Vedanta is the original philosophy of India. Almost all available literature in English language declares that Vedic India and the Vedas were written as early as 1100 BCE, which corresponds to the start of the Bronz Age." JFYI and may be some one would like to share their own knowledge and ideas.

The way Sri M sat through this session with this painful host is proof that he is enlightened.

Guruji says Asking R U enlightened is like asking a sleeping man: R U sleeping.A sleeping man cannot answer. If he says 'Yes" why did U disturb my sleep? then he is really not sleeping. In that state, he would have lost the ego to answer

[@lingeshsawanth253]

Ur logigical view is acceptable sir, when swami Vivekananda asked to Sri Ramakrishna whether he has seen God, Sri Ramakrishna said 'yes, just the way I see and talk to u, I see n talk to God! Of course Brahman/Totality can't say " I am enlightened" but one who has awakened in Brahman/Totality can surely if they wish to reveal. 'yes Brahman/Totality is the only reality in my experience, all duality is merely an appearance for me' Atleast this much can be said I believe! , after all that' what the questioner mean when he or she asks whether one z realized God? Correct me if i am wrong sir.

[@sreekala28]

@@lingeshsawanth253 its different probably for Ramakrishna as he just have to say that to swami Vivekananda who was not a common person , but today telling that he is Enlighted to millions of people watching ,who has limited spiritual knowledge can misjudge his words to many other aspects...

Why don't someone ask Sri m whether he will have any future birth or this is the last birth.

All is 👍 Guru is OK. But seeing Sri M is very difficult for an ordinary common man.I don't know is the same approach they show to the foreigners . His servents in Madanapalle don't have humanity and don't have aaditya mariyaada. I reached there today in the morning after traveling a long distance from Trivandrum. I had RTPCR (fresh one). But they don't even allow me in or asked me whether I had food or had ablution. I have been practicing Gurumanthra,chakrdhaarana,Hansa practice,and Hamsa practice along with Chakra dharma since one month. I have been sending emails for two months. I came here from Trivandrum, Kerala which is also Sri.M's home city.

[@tejasnair3399]

Jamunadevi Chandramouli I would say that the problem there is that identity formation is exactly contradictory to the goal of yoga and vipassana. We should do as the Dalai Lama says and make these ancient practices part of common human heritage as well as an academic subject. More happiness will be brought to more people that way.

Jamunadevi Chandramouli yoga can be that for some people I agree, but the core idea that realizing that the self and all conceptual frames we put on our experience only confuse us and take us away from the clarity of the mind left just as it is. Thanks so much for your kind reply.

[@krkrishnan2683]

They talked less about compassion than their individual stories - as yogis - definitely they are . The topic about self realization - they don't want say that they (both) have realised the truth - fear of being being called ego centric - the man of realisations know that he has achieved the goal , but seekers won't recognise it. For heaven sake tell them so that those seeing the video won't have search for going to Himalayan mountains. I fearlessly that that I have realised that the jeeva, jagat and ESVARA is illusion . Once we realise this , all your karma vanish ( karma is for understanding) all bad habits vanish - you won't have baggage of the past . You would in tremendous compassion towards all . There is difference between man of realization and an ordinary is both are swimming in ocean of samsara , one is has found the depth and dangers and others didn't know they are swimming in the ocean .

Spirituality is practical experiences not stories.. so instead of listening to Sri M and trying to decide if his stories are concocted or not, work on yourself.. clean your samskaras and then you will be able to judge without judgement and experience the truth for yourself..
