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.

this was very helpful, Swami. i appreciated the core principles of the Imitation of Christ as it showed me how i'm bypassing by telling myself i'm doing the will of God but meanwhile ignoring others in the matter of opinion. this seems a great practice to reduce egoism.

Karma is subject to emptiness. Emptiness is all-pervading. There's no such thing as an individual karmic account unless the ego is real and actual and it's not. I have my mother's nose. I have my father's temper. What I don't have is my own karma.

Yes Swami, also fame is the extenuation of greed.

Courtesy of Emily Dickinson, whose extent of poetry was found only after she left the body: Fame is a fickle food (1702) Fame is a fickle food Upon a shifting plate Whose table once a Guest but not The second time is set Whose crumbs the crows inspect And with ironic caw Flap past it to the Farmer’s corn Men eat of it and die AND… Fame is a bee. (1788) Fame is a bee. It has a song- It has a sting- Ah, too, it has a wing.

Are you insinuating something? Swami handles his voice well, especially in a western culture bent on greed and selfishness.

@@TheDeepening718 that is just philosophical rubbish if you aren’t able to enact it within all of life’s circumstances. Go stick your hand in a fire and say it isn’t burning. Karma is real, there is also a reality beyond it.

Want peace my child? Do these 4 things in life (These are in the order of difficulty): 1. Always seek to have less rather than more 2. Always seek to be last rather than first 3. In all matters of opinion, do the will of another rather than your own(not matters of value or ethics) 4. In all matters, try to see and accept the will of God

How to get a question answered? In his complete work I believe an address to Madras on his return to India Vivekananda said stop with the secretive mystical stuff. I am confused what he is saying especially being a member of the Free mason secret society. Swami will you please bless me with your wisdom on this

The level of delusion is insane... He should atleast listen to Imam or church's father before comparing them with Hindu monks. (especially in India) He is generalising few exceptions here and there in Abrahmic religions in the name of political correctness. Fallacy of illicit generalisation !

Are you new comer? Ramkrishna Mission is doing this since its advent much before the time the phase "Political Correctness" was started using in India.

@shivranjansingh9774 3 ай бұрын

No, I am not a newcomer ! In fact, It's been close to 5 years... There is perfect clarity regarding these matters in the 'traditional Shankara sampradayas'. But these neo- Vedantic traditions suffers from 'tamas' regarding these matters. It's basically the manifestations of Pramada in Advaita.

@JohnSmith -You are confusing earning with having a regular job . The Sannyasis are qualified and what they get is what they have indeed earned . Their currency or product of “trade “ with the world is sharing spiritual Knowledge gained through a life of often hard austerities, giving up personal attachments & sensual pleasures and undertaking long meditations🙏
