Dear Hindu brothers, It is high time that all of us should unite and stay stronger. Doesn't matter how much Indian left liberals tell you otherwise, Unity of India lies on the unity of Sanatan Dharma followers (Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, Sikhs etc). Our Sanatan Dharma has always been contributing to the entire humanity. Preserving the dharma is protecting not only India but the entire humanity. DO NOT CONFUSE or let anyone confuse you about your own dharma.

Bless us attain moksha here and now? As swamiji explained even advaitha Vedanta says ur mind, intellect and sensory system need to go through rigorous training and then ultimately one day u get realization.

[@poushalimitra5730]

Pranam maharaj. Thanks to the person who asked third qst . He phrased the doubt in a wonderful manner , once I heard him saying that he finds it difficult to concentrate on Brahaman excluding all external things. I too have a doubt here, if I know Brahaman is everything, this shines everything else shines, this is bliss itself. If we were raised from babyhood that we do not have any personal identity, and we work for others and this body and mind all are instruments, and certainly someday just like today we get to know all this is Brahaman , would this way of growing up help much faster manner in God realization? I understand there is causality but just curious because then what exactly would attract a person to realize God or Brahaman who does not have any desire for body mind( ego is what obscures first in realization of reality as you teach). One more qst what he is saying you advice many a times that if God realization become our goal , even leading a household life we can do that. But honestly everything needs our attention. You also became monk for realizing god not to avoid suffering I believe. Is it really possible to realize god alongside a work or for a student who is studying. Both requires concentration rather god realization much tougher cause we have past conditions. Sometimes it seems that there is some extraordinary understanding or realization or may be this ordinary awareness is too much intense to a realized soul cause he or she had practiced only concentration to awareness excluding this world. You explain it easily cause you have got it. I can't explain my awareness to you neither how I percept the world. Through my happiness certainly I can't explain your happiness like you mentions for one has mind one can't experience all others minds. But there are certain words which can explain a feeling as sw Vivekananda explains beginning there was God and word. Word of god. I am not sure how to explain I know you can. So can you please explain how to exactly consciousness is not an object , object is also a word. I can ask why 2 is written like 2 why don't we call 2 as 1. Just because my 1st person experience can't be explained yet that's why is this beyond word? And if possible can you explain what is Superconsciousness and Ultraconsciousness. I have request without (swaguna brahman)god's creation will you please explain this objective worlds existence. I am not accepting that any god with form exists. I believe man with desire to know brahman comes and shows that only by knowing Brahman all desire subsides. Correct me if anywhere I am wrong. Pranam again to you.😊❤🙏

[@Beginnerarttutorials]

Thank you, the compassionate answer to our query of how bring peace to ones mind through Vedanta chintan is so helpful. In Buddhist thought, the fundamental darkness is rooted in our ignorance of our real nature. I too find helpful to step back from time to time from our our inner tyrant, the mind, through conscious thought, meditation etc . Over time, it is hoped, cloud of delusion covering the mind is polished through our practice, and our inner reality is reflected clearly from our mind.

[@arjundwarkanath]

I have watched swamiji's videos & he sounds very sincere, so I would like to ask this question. A famous scientist Sam Harris asks this question about soul. If the information is getting stored in soul & not in brain alone, when a part of the brain is damaged, why do people cease to recognise so many words & colours? And if it's damaged more they will cease to recognise even human beings. But when death happens, when the whole brain is gone, they recognise their grandmother, this that etc. What's that? When the brain was damaged, the soul was still in the body. So this way it challenges the existence of soul isn't it.

[@tashilhamu4510]

arjundwarkanath what do u think?

[@aeonsleo2]

The information is not in soul, it is in the subtle body. When the brain is damaged the subtle body is intact but it has lost the means to interact correctly through the gross body.

[@arjundwarkanath]

@@tashilhamu4510 wow, great answer. All my doubts are clarified. Come on, question to another question is not the answer.

[@arjundwarkanath]

@@aeonsleo2 so once the person dies, information stored in the subtle body can again start working even though it didn't work while the brain was damaged n the person was alive? How's that possible? I'm very seriously asking this question. Thank you.

[@aeonsleo2]

@@arjundwarkanath can u explain what you mean by dead person recognise their grandmother.

[@Conzetle]

I have noticed that what helps me the most when my mind sometimes slips up or is confused is to say I am pure consciousness. I have noticed that saying I am brahman or vastness doesn’t work as efficiently. It takes a step in my mind to go from what Brahman means to what vastness means. This is pure consciousness. From there I can then center myself in it. I’m thinking this has to do with a language sort of barrier. If any of you have a similar experience or insight I would love to hear it. :)

[@Shreya8b]

Such a beautiful definition of enlightenment ( 41:55 ) .... "where you can finally stop being somebody else. " but maharaj ji we are always forced by the world, and our society, family and friends to be losse our real identity, the indentity which vedanta terms as the devine identity. In this world where having wealth, power , social position and academic accomplishment are the parameters of being successful please suggest us a way where we can break through the shakels of different societal pressures and find the brahman within us???

oh what a lovely soul, enjoyed very much the way he explains. he uses very often an expression i never heard ‚sravana m...‘ i dont know. can someone tell me?(:

[@MsLadybull]

simitha : The three pillars of vedantic practice (abhyasa krama ) are Sravana , manana , Nidhidhyasana . They refer to first hearing the truth ( Sravana) then contemplating about the heard truth ( manana) and then Sravana-Manana should result in a continual living and breathing this truth in all actions every moment ( Nidhidhyasana).
