God Bless you 🙏 for your commitment to not monetising the Divine ( from a ' devotee of Sri Ramana and great respecter of Swami Sarvapriyananda).🙏🕉️

[@vedanshvedansh844]

There IS divinity within us all, but that is not any lord. That IS only, wthout any attributes.

[@adkrella2692]

Thank you

[@doriuniverse]

This is one of the most profound speeches I’ve ever heard. Swami Sarvapriyananda you are a gift.

[@shipralala3154]

What a formidable talk ! Swami Srvapriyananda is a modern genius on Spirituality. His talks have generated a new spiritual inquisitivenes amoungst a young population in the west. This was the dream of Swmai Vivekananda- being fulfilled

[@jaydevvarma9757]

Fantastic! A much advanced discussion/explanation. We need to understand that "Consciousness" is a Devine Energy form. Cannot be measured, cannot be describe4d . Even a thousand years from now The question of What is Consciousness will still be debated. "It is Divine Energy"🙏🙏🙏🕉🕉🕉

[@vedanta_philosophy]

Jai Shree Ram 🙏

[@Resurrection-n6w]

Elated to hear the words of wisdom from the luminary himself

[@surajrouthsamsung290]

This talk of revered Swamiji is a conscious experience of consciousness.

[@njeyasreedharan]

Swamiji just gets better and better. This is his best talk todate. Tomorrow it will be even better. His infinite mind has no limits. The Source is with and within him. God has blessed all who hear his talks.

[@yogasamrat]

Swami Sarvapriyananda ji is such a blessing to the Western world! His wisdom , his sensitivity and convivial ity is such a boon for the propagation of vedanta in the west.! How wonderful for him to follow in the steps of Swami Turiyananda, the first president of RKM in the West and in New York.

[@sohambhattacharjee951]

I don't remember the last time I sat through almost a 1hr long speech without realizing how the time went by.

[@vasantdamle6389]

What a formidable speech ,logic, argument,construct,..all speechless..Every sentence qualify as "quote"".

[@AditiParanjpe-ju3bx]

Spellbound by your soaring intellect swamiji. Your words came to me at a time when I had become desperate with weird and strange experiences in my life. Your words have stabilised me. Abhaar !!!

[@nicolejanker7542]

My Dear Teacher 🙏🏼 learned Yoga in depth through You! Thank You very much ❤

[@skay382]

I went back to 49:39 in the video. "It's that to which all objects appear." This one line is enough. Swami Ji's lucidity is amazing.

[@alisasachamuneewongse6546]

Hi

[@asofotida443]

What a time to be alive! Swamiji ‘s talks are simply divine! ❤

[@Aaron_Gentry]

AI, philosophers, chat GPT, David Chalmers and the hard problem of consciousness, the brain itself - all are appearances within consciousness. It's as simple as that. EVERYTHING, forever and always, is an appearance within consciousness

[@sumedhpanse8174]

What a wonderful explanation! The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna mentions, the phrase "Neti, Neti". Just a two word approach to reductionism as explained by Swamiji.. These kind of sessions are needed to comprehend great literary works like the Gospel.

Swamiji was truly in the flow in this brilliant exposition!!!

Pranam Maharaj 🙏. This lecture is enough to explain the Adwait Vedanta in less than one hour. 🙏♥️. Our lectures have changed my life. I strongly believe you have the power to change many people also... Waiting for the time to see you only for once.

[@vedanta_philosophy]

I believe so too. I believe one day Advaita Vedanta will be a household name/concept worldwide. Once it's slightly understood there is no going back to any other way of thinking. It's truly sublime. 🙏

[@addalavenkataratnam5449]

Anando Brahma. Ananda is the essence of human endeavor. There's a subconscious striving to attain ananda, maybe it's written in the DNA. When you reach that level, that's Brahma... Consciousness explaining itself.

[@MsDomminus]

No matter how sophisticated it may be, an idea is never the thing in itself. A highly complex idea about a bird neither sings nor flies. Therefore, knowledge is and will always be incomplete. It is impossible to measure what consciousness is. It is immeasurable and therefore infinite and timeless. There are no two infinities. Consciousness is one, and the instruments of consciousness reflect it to varying degrees. When all ideas become still, through the understanding that they are limited, there is pure consciousness, which is our true nature. Only consciousness is true happiness, because it is complete.

[@vedanta_philosophy]

I wholeheartedly agree. 🙏

[@adriandeasy8810]

Conciseness cannot be explained it's is beyond the body mind only intuitively known not by mind ,as mind has to be still empty without thought concepts or ideas Conciseness just simply is as it is beyond words no words can explain the what Is, any description can only point to it but it is beyond words only via direct experience can it be intuitively known and realised by self realisation, om 🕉 namo Sri baghavate ramana maharshi om 🕉 namo Sri baghavate nisagadatta maharaj om 🕉 namo Sri baghavate pounjaji papaji om 🕉 namo Sri swami annamalai,

[@seanharvey8051]

after reading Negal (1 page) i can't reduce Conciseness to the brain but we have made (seeming) progress since we used to think it emerged in the heart.

[@yetirajniraula2842]

Thank you Swami ji. What happens to consciousness on brain death? Or when someone dies?

[@vedanta_philosophy]

I wish I knew the answers myself but I am also a student like yourself. The best I have found is read here: www.swami-krishnananda.org/bgita/bgita_26.html and here: hinduism.stackexchange.com/a/46191. I hope this helps 🙏

KNOWING external = 5 sences= reality knowing internal = conciousness= Truth Not intresseted in any question but only plesent experience = again CONCIOUSNESS❤

[@MadhumitaSikdar-q4s]

Could Consciousness be compared partially with sensory systems of these days?

[@lingeshsawanth253]

Swamiji, please give a talk on the topics; "World/matter is nothing other than information assumed n experienced by the consciousness"

[@vedanta_philosophy]

I will look for this for you and compile a video. I will comment here when its live. Thank you for watching. 🙏

[@gkviswanatham419]

I am sorry that the entire speech went on very brilliantly without mentioning the author or the fundamental and formidable logician Jagadguru Adishankara even after uttering his own concept Brahma Satyam Jagat Midhya. There is the greatest need to talk more about Adishankara than at any time before for, all the dialogue among several eminent modern scientists on the hard problem of consciousness was discussed at length in the Sankara Bhashya of Prasthana Traya where the extraordinarily brilliance of one human who is far more superior than any person at any time before or after that he could himself question himself which will not strike to the most modern genius and answer himself adequately and completely so that no doubt remains in the realm of the topic philosophy call it Advaita Vedanta and he is none other than Adi Shankara the Jagadguru.

44:11 Five negations of what is consciousness.

[@subbaraod45]

Chit is consciousness - chit is chaitanya - energy - with respect to a person, it is movement - heart beat - flow - flow of blood - no blood flow no life - brain can not work, body/heart loses movent.

In the realm where thoughts collide and dreams unfurl, Lies a riddle, deep, that puzzles every mind. It's the mystery of consciousness, a swirling whirl, A journey into the elusive, undefined. In the corridors of thought, where neurons dance, Where senses meet and mingle in a cosmic trance, There's a question that persists, a haunting glance, It's the hard problem of consciousness, a perplexing stance. - Chat GPT

[@gristly_knuckle]

It insults me that my opponent has anything beautiful, which is a testament against me revealing the Goodness that must be hidden from Jealous, who is God.

Anything let it be religion or a country or a political party; when they force their selves on others that causes a big Dent to Humanity All crisis across the world is all related with this denting others ,exploiting others, to much selfishness, trying to over power others. This wrong maybe individual or group of people. That's why we all should come together and decide to stop all these things. Change the wrongs and adopt Humanity. Humanity of few people isnot usefull. If we all adopt it will help all. That will bring us a new world peace and prosperity. Humanity Awakening Forum.
