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.

If there is one Holy man on this planet, this is him. I love this guy. God bless him.

[@mitrachandrika]

There are many such Yogis in India. Just that they do not come into public contact. But Swami Sarvapriyananda is undoubtedly an extraordinary monk.

[@thomasbrouwer2771]

He is fantastic. Truly a World treasure.

[@loremipsum980]

Luckily for us, he actually isn't the only one, and I'm grateful for all the enlightened souls specializing in different Hindu traditions I've come across🙏

Summary Around min 5: People think that they are living life, but actually it's just a role. They mistaken a mere role as living life. Ultimately nothing is happening, relatively everything is happening. Around min 8: On Desirelesness Reminds me of a buddhist / indian master (I forgot was it longchenpa or chandrakirti?) Saying moreso: Good and bad is a dream... And even if there is something called enlightenment, it is also a dream! But right now, you are allowed to have one desire, that is the desire for enlightenment. The illusory practitioner travels the illusory path towards the illusory goal/enlightenment. Around min 11: Reminds me of the three type of enlightened being I heard from Tibetan Buddhism: The shravaka buddhas and the pratekya buddhas are afraid of samsara. But for bodhisattvas, they are also afraid of nirvana. Because of their wisdom and nondual compassion, they want to stay in samsara. But their wisdom would not let them dwell in samsara. So where are they? Madhya maka. Middle way. Thank you swamiji! I have been listening to random youtube talk and recently I found swamiji's talk very helpful 🙏🙏

[@sumitmuladventures]

"Do we have freewill" - this excellently explains and clarifies confusions around freewill debate; Totally appreciate the way talk/video ends - service and prayers🙏

It’s impossible to let go of desires .the ego identity is a bundle of desire. Saying I dont want anything won’t work. What helps is to say. I will accept what ever comes .then surrender can start and resistance can grow less.

[@shreyas707]

I can't thank you enough for your teachings swami 🙏🏽 Do you have any recommendations for books to learn about the non dualism vedanta? I have learnt a lot through your videos, and I would like to go further with my learning on non dualism. Please recommend a book if you know any. Thank you!

[@ritadutta5594]

start with the drik-drishya-vivek lectures of Swami Sarvapriyanand there he was using drik-drishya-vivek book by Swami Nikhilananda. it consist of 12 lecture playlist after than listen to talks on Aprokshanubhooti by the Swami there you will get the new recommendation

[@prithiphillips4746]

Thank you for this wonderful practical advice Swamiji!!

[@samudramanna.79]

"Brahman" is the set of methodologies within Vedas for offering worships and sacrifices to the Brahman (almighty) as the Brahman (offerings) by the Brahman (doers). The state of being connected in such a manner with the "Brahman" (the methods) may make us one with it, but do we all do that?

[@shahjayesh]

If reason for one's birth is his previous birth karma then what karma lead to his first birth ?

[@R4KT1M]

I think there is no start and end of this birth, it's loop. Unless you break away from this cycle

[@artidastidar5301]

If I m not doer than y do I get karm fal

[@sumitdutta7043]

Since you are Ttached to the body-mind complex

[@revolvernflower]

You are the doer as long as you identify yourself as the body-mind. The consequences of karma are applicable to the body-mind, not the real you. The real you is forever free from Karma and its results.

[@nilayanmajumdar9174]

You don't get karma phal, your sukhsma shariram does. Sukshma shariram is the doer. Doership and ignorance are one. Who is ignorant? The sukshma shariram. Under ignorance, Atman appears as the karana shariram, giving results of karma, the causal body, cause of all.

[@Himalayas2086]

What is the real history of Islam how much of Islam is dharmic and how much of islam is adharmic ? 🙏🏾❤️
