Sir, It's great that you educate IIT students about spirituality but sir I really wish if by grace of god you would come in other colleges as well. Sir, I am from Jaypee Institute of Information Technology and a big fan of you. Thank you so much for this great wisdom.

[@rutinhazn]

Gratitude Swami 🙏🏻! Muito Claro , Luz pura 🙏🏻

[@abhinavambardar626]

I have felt this long ago that just like we wake up from dream, to find out it's a dream not reality. Maybe we would wake up after death to realize our life was a dream as well. I had this feeling before listening to vedanta when I used to contemplate about life and death. Now that feeling which I had proves another point. That all the knowledge is within us, the only thing is we lack the access key, just like traits are stored in our DNA. The great teachers, rishis, and spiritual leaders must have obtained this knowledge from within, because there were not out side sources of knowledge like books, scriptures etc during their lifetime.

[@rknair6115]

So in depth. Very interesting

[@arjunrathore8950]

Thoroughly enjoying all the lectures. Looks like just 2 more lectures and it will be end of this series. Hopefully Maharaj will oblige us with lectures on Vivekachudamani and Ashtavakra also in future.

[@ravishdhange3532]

Reverend Eslam n

[@arjunrathore8950]

Reverend Eslam, we have a tradition of calling our Swamis, Maharaj. Sri Ramakrishna used to say about his spiritual son (Swami Brahmananda) that if he was not in the spiritual path he would have been a king. Swami Vivekananda henceforth started calling him Maharaj. Possibly there is some connection on why we use this term ( not 100% positive). Also this is used frequently in India to address monks.

[@kalpnasuri8321]

White rob attired monks are called Maharaj, and maharaj when graduate in the requisite spiritual qualifications , they are addressed as Swamijis . Swamis have to attire in saffron coloured robes.

[@sarojinidash527]

Vedanta made easy to understand.Superb.🙏🏽

[@ksoldestaccount7654]

46:38 Verse! That which limits is imagined, that which is limited is real; the imaginary can never limit the real.

Thank you swami ji for your lecture and explanations.

[@pratik6342]

Thank you Swamiji, this series of lectures will help us to open the gates of infinite knowledge. at least knowing about absolute truth in intellectual level will destroy the most of the problems with in and in society.

Pranam Swami Ji

A eye opening point from becoming Enlightened all stored karmas gets dissolved 👍🏼except for fruit bearing Prarabdha karma. Cleared lots of misunderstanding about Karma n Karmaphalam .. Continue living with transcend the sorrow. 🌷🙏🏼

Detaching from bodily pain... Jesus, during his torture, and he went into samadhi... On the cross... He knew that he is existence consciousness bliss... And the Father is the same... He and The Father is one..

sir are you an enlightened being

[@chandreshkapata7422]

MAM, ARE YOU BLIND?

[@pratik6342]

Everyone is already enlightened..just recognise it 😄

[@rekhav4757]

🙏🙏🙏 guruji

[@adrianstratulat22]

So what are lucid dreams under this framework? Awakenings from the third reality?

[@himic1524]

Adavait Vedanta is not concerned about the content or type of dream or even mental state. It is concerned about who is aware of the dream/mental state.

[@ksoldestaccount7654]

1:05:07 the goal of life, and meaning and teleology and evolution ... book called "The Big Picture" by physicist in Caltech Swamiji is reading (physicalist materialist approach) .... in Vedanta EVERYTHING IS IMBUED with meaning, everything this your own Self

[@girishkumarkizhakhenottiat8696]

Amazing lecture. Guru, How did we become ignorant from the first place? It could be Desire, you might say. As it is very difficult to become brahman(being aware). It must have been very difficult also to be ignorant from awareness (brahman). How did it happen and why did it happen?

[@abhinavambardar626]

Ultimate question! I will add one more. If our present life is result of our past life, why were we born in first life itself? Why was the universe created by Brahman. What was the need for creation? I have not got any convincing answer to this. There are theories like we made some mistakes in higher worlds vaikunth daam etc then we were pushed down in this material world of karma and it's result because the creator wanted to test us/punish us etc. Now we have earn our liberation back by becoming enlightened. Same applies for your question. Maybe we made some mistakes, like we got swayed by desire/ trapped in Maya. That's why we forgot our true Self

[@timedraggin705]

[@anilagupta6008]

Thank you.

[@LuAr82-pe]

Obrigado!

[@ksoldestaccount7654]

1:01:40 every experience is an experience of an object, drop the object and you've got Brahman

[@ksoldestaccount7654]

1:02:00 what is the real point in being enlightened? (Cycle of birth and death is also theological?) That's also so distant.... why be enlightened? VERY PROFOUND ANSWER. The past is a cancelled cheque, the future is a promissory note, the present is all you have.

[@ksoldestaccount7654]

35:40 Verse! What is the Jiva?

[@ksoldestaccount7654]

4:56 VERSE!!!!

[@madhukiranattivilli2321]

31:00 -- Lift "mind from body" or lift "consciousness from mind"? It feels the latter to me. Since consciousness permeates into body (nervous system, sensory system, etc) via the mind, lifting consciousness from the mind will lift consciousness from the body also. How can mind lift itself from body! Once body is conscious, the sensation of touch will transfer the pain information to mind

[@Rama2507]

How to transcend the joy. Sorrow or pain?

[@ksoldestaccount7654]

21:00 acting as a beggar... wow COMPLETE explanation

[@kshamarangarajan942]

Though the text plunged straight away into the subject matter the Sadhana Chatushya of classical vedanta are implied else the six types of meditation would be difficult if not impossible

[@deepakarya3085]

🙏🙏🙏

[@anilmahendru4837]

Swamiji Hariom, Can you let me know, as who sees snake In rope and Snake eg,Reflected con or Witness concious .

[@yashwantsinghrawat4140]

Pranam Gurudev ,swamiji 🙏🏻🚩🌺I’m your regular follower gurudev. Please a little doubt about brhman n the reflected consciousness “if mind reflects from brahman ,is the fear of death is also originated from brahman? If not, how the mind as mirror can manipulate the witness energy from brahman? Please know kindly remove my ignorance 🙏🏻🌺 Gurudev 🌺🙏🏻

[@ksoldestaccount7654]

17:16 VERSE ... famous

[@santhoshgopinath816]

My mananam effort - 6 samadhi techniques for nidhidhyasana; 3 for the within which separates the sakshi from the pramata to realise sakshi; and 3 for the outside which separates the Sat from prameya to realise Sat. Advaita is not about any metaphysical speculation; it is about hard experience which everybody has all the time. Jnana is not a painkiller, it does not destroy pain, but it gives you the discernment that the sufferer is my body, and I am not attached with my body. The lower level of reality is resolved into the next higher level of reality. Thus dreamer wakes up into waking, waker wakes up into Reality. That which limits is imaginary, that which limits is real. (the washerman pretends to tie his donkey so he won’t run away; now it cannot be freed, because it is not really tied up; so the washerman needs to pretend to untie it so it feels it is freed and can walk). Please correct me at the errors.

[@lalitasingh7444]

Dissapointed to kn tht enlghtenment brings suffering...wats the point thn ?

[@rajshenoy8506]

Think you did not get the true import of the lectures. All he says is that this knowledge of the brahman will allow us to see how unreal and trivial are the states of gross matter, including our body. If at all, we do become diseased, then this will enable us to still be joyful

[@abhinavambardar626]

Knowledge about impermanence helps us keep calm, composed during suffering so that it passes away just like a cloudy or rainy day or flood or earthquake etc And science will help with pain killers, medicines also. Both enlightenment and non enlightened beings have their own share of happiness and sorrow, that's what I believe.

[@MrShabnamabrar]

swami jee you said you drop the object and you will become Brahmn, but how to drop object?

[@vinayakprabhu7935]

I am afraid it wasn't heard properly. You cannot drop the object, nor you can 'become' Brahman. Just be AWARE of the SEER of the object, which is Brahman and you are THAT. The attention to the object(the manifestation) will gradually be shifted to the uninterrupted awareness of one's real nature, the seer and the seen remaining in tact.

[@MrShabnamabrar]

thanks very much ..i appreciate ..nice explanation...:-)

[@nikhilpareek8038]

Comment section(bhraman) is full of brahman thanking bhraman :)

[@pratik6342]

thanking action is also bramhan 😄

[@ravijhirwal2073]

Hi. I have a question As we know conciousness is all pervading but I am here and not there thn how can I everywhere???

[@himic1524]

You are identifying with body mind that's why appears to be limited to this body mind space. Know yourself as pure conciousness and you will transcend time & space.

[@abhinavambardar626]

I think it requires sadhna to reach that state where you are everywhere

[@kbsikandar]

🙏💕🌺

[@AlfredoRodri10]

I understand all this is trying to help and inform people but does anyone actually live a normal life after listening to this? The perception of my face is completly fucked up

[@DP-fd4id]

What is swamiji's email ID?

[@shavikagupta]

sir while meditating should we focus on Atman or brahman

[@ChintanTyagi]

He gives a very detailed explanation of what to do.. it's not focusing on only Brahman

[@rekhad17]

Is it right to say that we are trapped in names and forms because all objects(including body,mind) have boundaries ,shapes and sizes that is to say they have limits -for e.g table,chair tree people etc .And we or our mind grasps the things which have limits.and so we get engaged in limited objective world rather than the limitless, shapeless, boundary less brahman.

[@vinayakprabhu7935]

According to Vedanta the natural tendency of the mind is to 'go out'. It's not that there is mind and there is the limited world 'out there'. Both mind and the world rise with the waking state and are absorbed in the Pure Awareness in Sushupti, the deep sleep. Limitation is experienced by the outgoing mind due to Avidya, the ignorance. When that same mind looks within to seek its SOURCE, using discrimination between false and the TRUTH, as advised in Mandukya Upanishad, by Avasthatraya Viveka, the wisdom dawns and the ignorance is removed. This enlightenment is not intellectual process, but is intellectual understanding of intuition (Anubhava), which everyone of us is blessed with, but is unable to see, in the absence of guidance from a Guru, who tells and shows it in your own intuitive experience that you are not the Mr or Ms so-and-so (entity), but THAT Cosmic Consciousness, in the Ocean of which this entity is just a temporary wave. Name and form are for the wave, but the Reality of existence is the property of Ocean Water. A second look at Swamiji's lectures, with this understanding will bring home this wisdom. Please also listen to Swamiji's lecture on "Who Am I" at IIT Kanpur.

[@rekhad17]

Thanks for elaborating on the false me i e mind/body....

Kidney transplant 7:30 , If you get that intuition, intensifies your spiritual practices. It's not the end of knowledge but infact it's the beginning Good one 1. Not be integrated with the body / It will not accept it as its own part. 2. I will not get benefit from it / It will not start functioning 3. Finally, it will reject itself / the organ will die.

[@arjunrathore8950]

Question for Maharaj. Hopefully Maharaj can clarify in the following lectures. 'How' and 'What' kind of make sense. 'Why' is not clear. Do the shastras explain the 'Why' ? If so please answer the following: 1) Question is from the ignorant/Jiva perspective and not from Jnani and expecting an answer also from Jiva perspective. Why should Jiva be deluded in the first place? Why is there the so called unreal creation? What is the need of Shakti aspect of Brahman if it is only deluding the poor Jiva? Why all this drama? 2) Now let us take it down one order of reality. What is the need of dream state (not expecting a physiological answer) both from the dreamer/Jiva perspective and the objects in the dream? Why have dreams at all if they are unreal?

[@abhinethrapujari8490]

Hi Arjun ,after fallowing swami's lectures ,I might give you a reasoning for it theoretically as I am still practicing to see the difference experientialyl. It is scientifically proven now ,when an energy is induced in a vacuum in an enclosed area, Protons, electrons etc came from it, Science came to this conclusion from its previous delusion (that space is empty) to that space is something which is for sure not empty (as nothing comes out without matter ). So, here the vacuum or space is Brahman and the matter is maya .To experience the Brahman, which is not known with any physical or mental instruments, maya was manifested. So a realized soal sees maya as not an hinderence but with great joy as maya is a way to experience Brahman. This is being proposed in shivisam as shiva (Brahman) and shakthi(Maya). Both are same and to be experienced same. Our delusion with maya is because we are identified with physical body and mind and forget to see that those are just reflections of the unwavering consciousness. Swami also says that , if we see the world as is, that is as brahmin , we see that everything is seen as brahmin instead of different name and forms. An example rightly given , as we are all are air bubbles in the vast brahmin (atmosphere) ,with air as consciousness trapped in physical water bubble and forget to identify that we are consciousness,here air in the example. If we consciously dissolve we will come to know that we are the brahmin in small size . Just like Blackhole is black not because there is no light ,but because it absorbs all the light and reflects nothing . Maya is not a delusion but a tool to experience the Brahmin with the physical and mental dimensions.

Gosh so disappointed with this new thing that u will get diseases after getting so much of knowledge wats the point if u can enjoy it and get disease ridden???? Here by I quit studying advait vedanta don't want to die suffering with deadly diseases 💔💔💔💔

[@rajshenoy8506]

is this sarcasm !! WHere does he say that this will bring about diseases or disease ridden - Did I miss something ? All he says is that this knowledge of the brahman will allow us to see how unreal and trivial are the states of gross matter, including our body. If at all, we do become diseased, then this will enable us to still be joyful

[@abhinavambardar626]
