Dvaita, Advaita and Vishishtadvaita Vedanta EXPLAINED | Svairãlãpam | Paravastu Varadarajan

Thanks

[@Victorwrestler]

I´m loving this podcast and I don´t find the subject dry at all despite being Brazilian. I´m lucky enough to speak English and therefore I´m able to read books in English about the subject because I can´t find them in Portuguese. The only difficulty I have in this podcast (and I´m NOT complaining at all) is to understand the accent a bit lol. However it is so rich in details that I don´t mind having to rewind a couple of times to listen to it again. The captions help a lot too. Thank you guys very much for this!!! May God bless you all!

[@Musiclover22897]

Good conversation. Thanks! A short summary of my understanding on the topic below : Advaita: Only the Non-dual pure consciousness(Nirguna Brahman) exists. Jiva, Ishwara with personal qualities(Saguna) and universe never even existed/exists/ will exist(Ajatavada). Their seeming existence at Vyavaharika level is just an illusion(Maya). Goal of a spiritual aspirant is to realize that he/she is nothing but Nirguna brahman through Jnana yoga alone. Vishishta Advaita: Brahman is personal only(Saguna and not nirguna). Ishwara(Vishnu), Jiva and Jagat is fundamentally real and not illusory. Brahman/Vishnu has transformed Himself to Jiva and Jagat(Parinamavada- Upadana and Nimitta karana is Brahman). The relation between Jiva and Vishnu is sesha/Seshi. Goal of the aspirant is to first realise his/her true nature as jivatman(Atma Avalokana) and then reach vaikunta through Bhakti yoga and attain moksha. Post Salvation, the jiva retains its individual identity and attains the same bliss as brahman , but still lacks the power of brahman to create, sustain and destroy. Dvaita vedanta : Brahman is personal only(Saguna and not nirguna). Ishwara(Vishnu), Jiva and Jagat are fundamentally real and different from one another(Pancha bheda).Brahman/Vishnu has not transformed Himself to Jiva and Jagat(Upadana karana is prakriti and Nimitta karana is Brahman). Goal of the spiritual aspirant is to realise his/her dependence on Vishnu and aspire to reach moksha through Bhakti yoga. Post Salvation, Jiva retains its individual identity and remains a constant servant to Vishnu. Jiva experiences bliss but that never equals the bliss of brahman even in moksha.

[@manishkumar-xq6xn]

In VA, It's not really transformation of Brahman or parinaamavaad. Sukshma Chit-achit vishisht Brahman transforms into Sthul chit-achit-vishisht Brahman. There is no transformation in Brahman but his body undergoes transformation from sukshma to sthoola. As he is inseparable from his body, body being his inseparable attribute; he is upaadaan kaaranam. Sukshma chit-achit-vishisht Brahma is upaadaan kaaranam. That's understanding of adiyen. Swami would take up this question later for better understanding

[@Musiclover22897]

@@manishkumar-xq6xn Brahman according to Vishista advaita is a pan organic whole comprising of Jiva and Jagat(modes/body of Brahman). By Parinamavada it is not implied that brahman changes itself to become jiva and Jagat. Brahman/Vishnu is eternal and unchanging. However both the the material and instrumental(Updana and Nimitta) cause of Jiva and Jagat is Brahman alone. Technically this mode transformation of brahman without losing its eternal nature in to Jiva and Jagat by being both the material and instrumental cause of it is called as brahma prakara parinama vada.

This is a very lucid and clear exposition of three sampradhyam . At such a young age Sri Varadarajan is a great addition to Sri Vaishnava sampradhyam . He comes from an illustrious Paravastu Bhattar Piran direct disciple ( one of 8 acharyas) of Swamy Manavala Mamuni . It is also a pleasure to note that Sri Varadarajan was in the first group of students of late Varadacharya Patasala in Srirangam . Velukudi Varadacharya was a most illustrious Kalakshepam and was the prominent Sri Karpangadu Venkatacharya swamy who was an outstanding Budwal in Ramanuja sampradhyam .

Thank you so much for spreading the knowledge. I will be regular viewer of your channel from now on. Side note - I like how the Swami says at the beginning, "I will try to answer questions" and many times things like, "this is one interpretation", "there are many nuances", "I'll answer as per Vishishtadvaita sampradaya", "We respect all sampradayas". This just goes to show how intellectually humble he is and how respectful he is of other sampradayas. Truly intelligent person.

I am a Madhwa. Lot of things lingered all these days to know differences between these three samparadayas. Your kindness has explored in the matter and academically given answers for all that matters differentiating these three siddhantas. Here as you have clarified several times it is appreciable that there is no need to look down any of them. After all as you said it is different school of thoughts which remains a matter of understanding rather than being a matter of disputes. All the three great Acharyas are great to have given their deep knowledge of Bramha Sutras, Vedas and Upanishads. Let us continue deciphering these spiritual texts without getting affected by interpretation of one or the other type. After all, the guide finds Ananda superior to Moksha.

​@@ekambarammargam9064The simple answer is No, you can be born in any family. Follow the path shown by any Acharyas and you can get Mukti. You can associate yourself with devotees friends, listen to upanyasams/discourses, devotional songs/bhajans and follow the Bhakti Margam as that's relatively easier to follow than the other means.

Sreemathe Ramanujaya Namaha. So many doubts arises . You are solving that. Adiyen Ramanuja Dasan. Good see you all. On Bhaghavathe Vasudevaya.

[@jawckey1]

Best aspect I have seen of this teacher is his poise, haven''t even showed slitest dispect or kindling attitude towards philosophies other his and tried to explain them to the best he knows of them. Hats off to his balance! My self disclosure is I am an advaiti and am fairly convinced there is only one truth, it is only one nature and also there is only one way to know it. But it is but futile to argue here which is the right understanding! So I will not go there. But one aspect of vishistadvaita didn't come clear to me in this lecture. At about 50min into the lecture, there was a question about relation of body and embodied soul and a postulation that a given body is allotted as per past deeds. If I understood it right, does the explanation imply that in vishistadvaita the deeds performed in one body will determine the body of the next life? OR in vishistadvaita does the soul itself instigates the body to do actions that lead to future bodies? Basically who exactly is the agent? I am sure even in vishishtadvaita both body and mind are ineert.and they dont affect soul (like he mentioned body grows old, not the soul) and definitely not the super soul. So I am guessing both soul and super-soul in vishistadvaita are presiders only, at least the super-soul is. But is the soul not merely presiding but instigator of deed also? That is running counter to soul being immune to aging, so it should be immune to rest of human aspects too. It would be nice if anyone can clarify. regards

[@MohanKumar-kd5jx]

Sir. It is difficult to explain. A good scholar may explain it. It is so vast that a common man cannot understand. But, Lord Krishna says Ekatvam, in Bhagavadgita. He says bhakta and self both are same. Probably one should attain that highest knowledge...

[@Bhakthamrutham]

Basically, the Jeeva is the doer (कर्ता शास्त्रार्थवत्वात्), but he cannot perform an action without the sanction of Paramatma.

[@mtrvenugopalanyoga-fitness9807]

Current actions resulting in next body. Itz for all sampradayas. Soul has to understand Whatz Who Brahdmam and do things per our principles to attain salvation from rebirth. One day all has to fall in vishishta advait for no more birth like situation

[@omoshiroi2326]

Lack of Self-knowledge and Karma are the forces driving transmigration. Former is because Jivatma is bound by body and mind. You are asking how is it possible when Jivatma is pure and unaffected. These modifications should be understood as surface level, not affecting the nature of the substance itself but an attribute external to it. For eg. a diamond that is unpolished is still pure, it just needs to be polished. The blemishes are not intrinsic to it. These blemishes in case of jivatma is due to karma and the acts it performs due to ignorance.

[@prasadv]

Swami 🙏. In the 52nd minute of the podcast, the question asked was how jeevathmas can be considered as sareera of Brahman - if the relationship is similar to the relationship with his sareera s described in the stotras like the Shanka, chakra etc. However your answer skips the direct answer to this questions but talks about His various other sareera aspects. In this world, in a living being, sareera is achid and the soul is chid. Can the same be explained about a chid sareera to a chid soul? This aspect requires some further explanation. Dasan.

[@manishkumar-xq6xn]

As swami said, our body is achid and had chid as aatma. This body is also having Bhagwan as antaryami. Thus, it is belonging of both. Whereas, Bhagwan's body (tirumeni) is called asaadhaaran because it belongs to bhagwan alone. It's different from bhagwan and achetanam but have swayam-prakashatvam. The aatma itself have Bhagwan as antaryami who control, supports and owns the aatma. As swami quoted the definition of shareera from Sri Bhashya (Any substance which a conscious soul is capable of completely controlling and upporting for its own purposes, and which stands to the soul in an entirely subordinate relation, is the body of that soul. Our body is completely under our control and we shape it and use it for our purposes). From this definition, aatma is shareera of Bhagwan as aatma is controlled and hold by bhagwan and is shesha to bhagwan.

[@pratham.pingle]

Thank you very much swamiji for making this video! There are few videos available for understanding vishishtadvaitam in english and this channel is also a great source for enabling common people like us to understand vedanta and other aspects of sanatana dharma! Indeed I am very grateful for this initiative!🙏

[@mappaji]

Very nice explanations, I want to go deeper into this. I have a question regarding death and rebirth If the soul leaves the body after death and gets into another life as re-birth, then why do we need to do Pitru Paksha. The soul has already left and gone to another life, so the Pitru paksha (Pinda dana) I do, will not help the soul at all. Can I get some clarification? Second question It is believed in Hinduism that after so many births one takes the birth as a human being. So a human being is the most special creation of Paramathma. In that case, the population of human beings is increasing and now has reached about 8 Billion. Does it mean that more human beings are born due to other beings doing good deeds and now are getting a chance to be born as human beings? Many Pranams to you. Thank You.

[@manishkumar-xq6xn]

Do you mean Tattva traya?

[@rashmivaidya864]

Namaskara Swami. You explained very beautifully. How wonderful it is to think that the Lord has created so varied minds which take varied paths to realise one single truth.

[@abue26]

Namaste, You have given a one-liner for Advaita- “none other than brahma”, VishisTAdvaita - “no one like brahma” What would your one-liner be for dvaita? Appreciate this session. 🙏🏽

[@vijayd8634]

If I may, Dvaita might say, "None to love BUT Brahman!" Or, "None or nothing is independent of Brahman!" Please correct me, Swami, if you have something more accurate. V nice, equanimous, balanced explanation of the basic differences. Bheda or difference is fundamental to our understanding of the world. Even this video tries to explain the, you guessed it, "differences" among the three sampradayas. Differences clarify and bring clarity. Nice video; more than that, v happy to see this Acharya. Wishing all three well, Namaste.

15:38 how beautiful and touching, truth even if spoken from non-practicioners is just mind blowing. Jai Adi Shankara.

We are followers of Jagadhguru Shri Madhwacharya. I think Dwaitha philosophy is most relevant in today's society. This is because the world is real and there is difference between Paramtma and Jeeva, Jeeva and Jeeva, Jeeva and Jada, Jada and Jada bedha which is a truth. Shri Madhwacharya is the incarnation of Shri Vayu..Hanuma in Trethayuga, Bhimasena in Dwaparayuga, Madhwa in Kaliyuga (Hanuma, Bhima, Madhwa). Many powerful guru's came in the lineage of Shri Madhwacharya viz., Sri Sripadarajuru, Sri Vyasya theertharu, Sri Vadiraja theertharu, Sri Raghavendra Swamy and many others. Also, Hari sankeerthana's by Shri Purandara Dasaru, Shri Kanaka Dasaru, Shri Vijaya Dasaru, Shri Gopala Dasaru, Shri Jaganatha Dasaru. It is called Dasa Sahithya in Kannada language which is melodious, mesmerizing. Hari Sarvottama, Vayu Jeevottamma...!

Our ramanuja is the incarnation of adisesha. He explains clearly about paramatma and atma relations in his masterpiece shri Bashyam.... our acharyas are incarnations of God themselves eg.. balarama lakshmana ramanuja... the better thing is we have incarnations of the ornaments of God eg. Swamy Vedanta Desikan is an incarnation of the bell.. ghantavataram.... and with respect to relevance you are totally wrong as the temple most worshipped in india is tirupati.. not only that but according to us anyone can be a shri vaishnava irrespective of whether they are a Brahman or not.... Christianity,s philosophy is literally the same as ours... total surrender. PLEASE CHECK YOUR FACTS BEFORE TYPING.. jai shri ramanuja. At the end of the day all of us are vaishnavas so there is bo need to fight on who is the greatest vaishnava... I am just proving my point

[@Soulll.215]

​@@gayathrisukumar27yeah and advait is nonsense.

[@blohot]

@@Soulll.215 just because you do not have the maturity to understand Advaita does not mean it is nonsense. Try to keep an open mind and explore all the paths as these gentlemen are doing

[@venkateshsabnis2090]

​@@gayathrisukumar27😅😅😅 ...what a arguement...what a rationale...just by claiming and being under the perception of Avatar or recarnination does not ensures merit of the argument. That should testify objectively .. ...is not so...😂😂...every one is proud of their path and Mata / mata sthapana acharya..as it is true in your case...so why to deviate or why to provoke...undoubtedly Advaith is most popular matha in india ...just saying while considering geographical spread and numerical aspects of followers...their presence noticed across the social strata...that does not mean that is perfect or imperfect...that is reality...we need to live and accept the reality

[@rameshck1942]

Thank for explaining fluently in a foreign language of our philosophy without hurting other Sampradhayam. I like the way you have explained- respect others. I pray SriMan Narayanan to give more knowledge to continue to give value addition to our young generation.

[@pratyangira]

I feel if the conversation is between dwaita and advaita and visistadwaita followers then it will be more interesting. This conversation is more one sided as all three participants follow same phylosophy.

[@Bhakthamrutham]

We have done something with the resources we have. And we have tried to be as unbiased as possible

[@pratyangira]

@@Bhakthamrutham you are no doubt fair and unbiased. Listeners shoud get moreinsightd

[@lawlietryuuzaki12]

He did say considering the constraint of time it is not possible to go into detail.

[@swaminathanbalachandran5867]

Very clear , articulated and simple way of explanation....Thanks for this podcasts ... Pls do continue this Good work .....

[@satyanarayang6589]

I liked this and I follow अद्वैत philosophy. Looking forward to more such knowledge. Thank you.🎉

[@gopalramanathan7062]

Namaskaram 🕉️🙏🏼 Excellent discourse 🙏🏼 May we pray for many more of such discourses not just in English but in all Bharathiya bhashas too🕉️🙏🏼

[@mountfitness5875]

I am also advaitian studying since few years with guru Sarvapriyananda ji and took years to get it what advaita means after properly listening, manana with 100s of questions arising and settling after reasoning and enquiring and after meditating yourself and realising Yourself with true nature which is beyond time, space and cause and effect…and also like to thank you all for expressing views about main schools in an open unbiased manner…hari Om tat sat…spiritual journey whatever suits you and works intellectually and mentally should be taken as long as love, harmony, compassion, removal of ego and removal of attachment is maintained…nothing is called right or wrong as long as you realise the truth yourself…All different paths leads to that same destination..🕉🙏

[@gajendramoily7482]

Namaste Guruji, Concepts are explained beautifully

[@vaidehisubramani6302]
