I am agnostic..but i see how beautifully all the Vedanta findings leads to string theory, relativity, philosophy. World should seriously look into those. I once read every physicists believes in some kind of powerful entity.

[@abhishekanand8945]

Veer Savarkar had once said, "I am a Hindu because I don't believe in God"!

[@vivekchaturvedi9686]

@Rony So true, I was drawn to Vedanta because of Science. When I tried to understand Relativity and Quantum Mechanics I realised that somehow old hindu scriptures had similar ideas embedded in them. When I enquired more I came across Vedanta philosophy and since then I have been hooked to it.

[@chandratube1]

You cunning people always try to get the share of greate people just by saying it is already in Vedas.Vedas are useless and very inferior to modern science only Vedas teach how to make people slaves of supertitions

[@pratapsinghkanishk]

Vedanta finding doesn't lead to any physics theories. Relativity, quantum mechanics, string theory are highly mathematical in nature and don't have anything in common with Vedanta. Please don't spread wrong information

[@shashi636]

What is meditation? -- because this whole Heart Sutra is about the innermost core of meditation. Let us go into it. The first thing: meditation is not concentration. In concentration there is a self, concentrating and there is an object being concentrated upon. There is duality. In meditation there is nobody inside and nothing outside. It is not concentration. There is no division between the in and the out. The in goes on flowing into the out, the out goes on flowing into the in. The demarcation, the boundary, the border, no longer exists. The in is out, the out is in; it is a nondual consciousness. Concentration is a dual consciousness: that's why concentration creates tiredness; that's why when you concentrate you feel exhausted. And you cannot concentrate for twenty-four hours, you will have to take holidays to rest. Concentration can never become your nature. Meditation does not tire, meditation does not exhaust you. Meditation can become a twenty-four hour thing -- day in, day out, year in, year out. It can become eternity. It is relaxation itself. Concentration is an act, a willed act. Meditation is a state of no will, a state of inaction. It is relaxation. One has simply dropped into one's own being, and that being is the same as the being of all. In concentration there is a plan, a projection, an idea. In concentration the mind functions out of a conclusion: you are doing something. Concentration comes out of the past. In meditation there is no conclusion behind it. You are not doing anything in particular, you are simply being. It has no past to it, it is uncontaminated by the past. It has no future to it, it is pure of all future. It is what Lao Tzu has called wei-wu-wei, action through inaction. This is what Zen masters have been saying: Sitting silently doing nothing, the spring comes and the grass grows by itself. Remember, 'by itself' -- nothing is being done. You are not pulling the grass upwards; the spring comes and the grass grows by itself. That state -- when you allow life to go on its own way, when you don't want to direct it, when you don't want to give any control to it, when you are not manipulating, when you are not enforcing any discipline on it --that state of pure undisciplined spontaneity, is what meditation is. Meditation is in the present, pure present. Meditation is immediacy. You cannot meditate, but you can be in meditation; you cannot be in concentration, but you can concentrate. Concentration is human, meditation is divine. Concentration has a center in you; from that center it comes. Concentration has a self in you. In fact the man who concentrates very much starts gathering a very strong self. He starts becoming more and more powerful, he starts becoming more and more an integrated will. He will look more collected, more one piece. The man of meditation does not become powerful: he becomes silent, he becomes peaceful.

[@ahmedhusseinny]

Someone said "bow down to thee" Try typing that shit you just typed you fuckin' idiot! Copy/Paste does not go as far these days.

[@sumedhborkar3601]

shashiji, meditation is looking into self. experincing sensation that goes inside our body. you can experience it now itself. just close your eyes, take a breath inside slowly and while inhalation try to experience sensation, the air going inside will first touch your nose then mind, heart, stomach and every part of body. now calmly exhale it. during exhalation try to feel the same, that air inside your body is coming out via your nose. while doing all these be calm and try to feel sensations, meaning that air is touching your inner body parts for ex- organs, skins etc. in very less time air gets in and comes out, therefore you will need lots of practice. what i told you is first stage of meditation which we called as "anapaan". meditation is the most powerfull thing in this world. the only person who did it to its extreme stage became buddha, the only enlightened. all hindu gods need shastras( trishul, talwar, bhala etc) to show there strength. buddha, the enlightened one brought down hinduism to his feet without any shastras. a person of meditation with bare hands is most powerfull.

[@daveholt3071]

This Swami is doing a presentation on concentration and someone is filming it for a roomful of people with no concentration skills. Look at people coming in late, standing up and walking in front of the speaker and camera. Flashing pictures... The Swami and cameraman did an excellent job of concentrating with a group who showed no attention or concentration at all? Why did these people even show up for this lecture? India or the U.S. this is rude and disrespectful behavior. I guess the person who turned off the mics for Q&A was not concentrating and in the flow... Excellent presentation by Swami Sarvapriyanandaji Maharaj, well done!

[@singhVarunVikram]

Dave Holt It isn't. And from being from a place like that I can tell you people have a lot of patience and concentration esp at that institution. Coming late definitely is quite common but a lot of the times coz even daily necessities eg good commute is not so prevalent as in the west. If you don't know of the institute and people who study there you cannot comment with a blanket statement :).

[@rananjay18]

Varun Vikram It doesn't matter if the people have patience or concentration . There is no excuse if so many people are coming in late and moving about in the classroom, blocking the camera. Ur comment that people come late due to lack of good commute is even more laughable esp. if the lecture is at evening 6 pm. Dave isn't questioning the institute, so drag it into the debate. Just because you are from a place like that, doesn't give you any right to defend late coming. And just because its common, doesn't mean its right. Keep your opinions to yourself and don't misdirect people as if you represent the whole of India

[@singhVarunVikram]

Vikram Batra Well I would like to make a few points. First if my opinions are for whose opinions are you expressing here ? If yours then you counter your own point. If anyone else's then that is even more sad won't you agree. Second the other guy Dave is not from India. As Conan Doyle says "It is a capital mistake to theorize before you have ALL the relevant data. One insensibly starts twisting facts to suit (their own) theories rather than theories to suit facts. He has no clue ( unless I am mistaken and he is from there) the amount of different things are within the place from things out. Leave even that, I doubt if he would have any idea of time and commute it takes to just go for window shopping in Bombay. I have personally been there and it took 5 -6 hours to just go 15 kilometres. It takes like 10 mins in the US ( if he is from there) or Europe. Again I speak from personal experience. Providing data was never a crime and similarly guesswork without data is never a scientific or rational or even sensible method in my book ( but perhaps it is in yours). Lastly I haven't any intention of defending tardiness anywhere. If you have to learn you should have to put in the effort. But I certainly am not going to accept comments from people who raise their feet up to the face of a teacher in their own backyard ( school education) and have no clue of what reverence means and are out to educate the rest of the world about it. IIT might not be the quintessential example of such a place but I don't think it is so downtrodden yet. Again I speak from my own experience. You are welcome to your opinions. Oh shoot !! to whoever's opinions you like to shift to next !! :) . Peace

[@fanofyoubulb]

I too felt the same. Those who were sitting shouldn't have left in the middle and organisers shouldn't have allowed late comers. No matter whether it is IIT, IIM or any other premier Institute.
