The end of the video has such a powerful message, Non-Dual realization, Moksha, is, in a way, the beginning, because it is then when we realize our true nature and are "free" to do what we love the most without any fear or anxiety. The highest of these possible things to do is to love God.

"To those who worship Him, the Lord may grant mukti sometimes, but rarely bhakti" - Srimad Bhagvatam. Bhakti starts only after jnana and only by Grace.🙏

[@surekhaambi7102]

Swami sarvapriyananda throws a new light on sri Chaitanya and teachings of sri Ramkrishna. Wonderful. Talking about bhakti after being soaked in advait vedanta is way ahead of all.Thankyou swami.

[@emonshaha7683]

I am inviting all Krishna devotees to watch this! Don't fight with your ego, swallow the teachings.

[@sukumardutta9260]

The loving relationship is thousand times greater and more intense than any love experienced in the material world this is described in the Chaitanya Caritamrta Pure love for Lord is eternally.established in the heart of living entities

[@joshisinsights947]

Beloved Swamiji mentions rather briefly about Mahaprabhu's pilgrimage of the western India. I'm unable to resist my temptation to also mention about a holy place at the foot of the holy mountain Girnar (Giri Narayan) there's an ancient temple of Bhagavan Balabhadra, and a small pond known as Damodara Kunda. When Mahaprabhuji arrived there, great Vallabhacharya was also on the pilgrimage of the same. Acharya Shree Vallabha conducted a recital 'parayana' of Shreemad Bhagavatam in presence of Mahaprabhu and they had divine discourses in their Samadhi-bhasha. Our pranam to Shree Ma Sarada and Bhagavan Ramakrishna, to Mahaprabhu Krishna-Chaitanya, to Acharya Vallabha, and also to the Lotus feet of Swamiji Sarvapriyananda. Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare.

Dualist perspective explained so clearly that I felt some love just through the words. That is the Ramakrishna way of teaching understanding the all theological aim.

"Some say that Madhusudana renounced home when he was merely ten years and travelled all the way to Navadvip (in West Bangal) to meet Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who was famous then as an embodiment of intense love for God. But, as destiniy would have it, at that time Sri Caitanya was elsewhere in India spreading his message of bhakti. Disappointed, no doubt, but not disheartened, Madhusudana nevertheless stayed on there waiting for Sri Caitanya's return. And in the meanwhile, studying under the guidance of Mathuranatha Tarkavagisa, the then foremost professor of Nyaya, he mastered that philosophy. At the same time, he also deeply imbibed the devotional teachings of Sri Caitanya with which Navadvip was vibrant." p. 14, Gudhartha-Dipika, Bhagavadgita with the annotation, by Madhusudana Sarasvati, translated by Swami Gambhirananda, Advaita Ashrama.

[@tattvamasmi]

01:12:48 Good point - Caitanya and all devotees are not devoid of non dual knowledge)) 01:17:24 also agree ❤❤❤get knowledge of non-duality and do whatever you like )) पादकमल्योः नमस्कारः, स्वमि. Impossible to express the gratefulness i feel to Swami Sarvapriyananda, and all Ramakrishna Mission by Vivekanda. I doubt that someone of vaishnava teachers could give such a beautiful lecture, devoid of condemnation. While all theistic religions argue, Ramakrishna and his amazing devotees, especially Swami Sarvapriyananda, love and embrace all of us, giving us a shelter; and we are crawling with broken hearts to you, and you are healing us drop by drop with amrta of your words ❤❤❤

Brilliant narration and a beautiful synthesis of the way of knowledge and the path of devotion. The concluding line is significant- tie the knowledge of Oneness to the hem of your garment, and then embark on the path of devotion. Adi Shankara enshrined this in his famous song, Bhaja Govindam🙏

Great satsang. Thanks. 😊 Reference timestamp 49min and 30sec. I think many of us would love to hear a class on the arguments used by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu to dismiss the arguments of Vasudev Sarvabhoma. Thanks for your wonderful satsangs. Om Shanti. ❤

[@nitinmalam]

This only Swami Sarwapriyananda can do . Himself a non dualistic monk and to speak on a stonch dualist whose followers strictly oppose Adi Shankaryacharya philosophy .. only Swamiji with such an open mind can speak and give proper justice to such a talk .

[@ritadutta5594]

its not just Swami Sarvapriyananda, its the Ramkrushna Mission which is non-sectarian sect. Any monk from the Ramkrishna Mission and any mataji from Ramkrishna Sharada Math can do that.

[@aninda2457]

Achinta Bheda Abheda school doesn’t oppose non dualism. It simply says that gyan and Prem be combined to make God realisation easy and purposeful 😊

[@sumitdutta7043]

​@@aninda2457 It places Adwaita comparatively lower than the Bhakti. No problem there. But the follwers of thot philosophy 🤐, narrow minded to say the least. They are like the non-violent versions of Abrahamic Religions, replacing the Abrahamic God with Krishna.

[@aninda2457]

Actually, neither Chaitanya Mahaprabhu nor Rai Ramanand has placed Advaita lower than Bhakti. Similarly, Adi Shankaracharya never lowered Bhakti than knowledge. His renditions such as Jagannath Ashtakam, Bhaja Govindam, etc are testament to this fact. Shri Ramakrishna too emphasised that all path leads to the same God realisation and all are true.

What a blissful lecture. Can anyone please tell me which was the beautiful Kirthan / song that played in the beginning of this video?

[@kakolisaha2658]

All 'sadhaks' say to dhyana (meditation for god) a siddha guru' s guidance is needed. Parampurush Ramkrisna and Swami Vivekananda said it is must. Swami Turiananda Mararajji got a bad experience to made dhyana without a guru's guidance and fell sick. Maa Sarada rescued him and showed him the right path. Where and how Maharaj, what I will do?

[@triggeredinsaanshorts1848]

58:13,58:12,58:11

[@madhurimasen2134]

I have a question for the swami. I understand that I am aware of the world, hence I am not the world etc. I am aware of my mind , hence I am not my mind also. But can I be aware of anything without mind being the medium? I am aware of the moon.does not the mind comes in between the moon and myself. I feel that I am aware of the moon and feel it's beauty in the mind. So how is the mind an object just like other objects that arise in my awareness?

[@triniwarrior16]

Only 700 likes Only 700 of us looking for god? Less than 700 of us have found it Than less than that needs help with the knowledge … That means 1:7million = enlightened 1 in 70 of us on earth has the power to make matter in thin air

[@smitajoshi4459]

I have a general question. In Shi Ramakrishna and His Disciples, in the chapter on Swamiji, it is mentioned that all the questions the then Naren had such as ‘Wby evil exists in God’s world, what is the balance between God’s justice and God’s mercy’ etc were answered one by one as though via a series of slides. Does Swamiji ever explain these? If yes, then where can I read about them?

[@sumitdutta7043]

No Swamiji haven't explained it yet, Swami Medhananda might have talked about it in one of his lectures.

[@rekhav4757]
