Tattva Jnana - Knowledge of Ultimate Reality | Swami Sarvapriyananda

"The knowledge of the Self is the fire that burns up the dry grass of desire. This indeed is what is called samadhi, not mere abstention from speech." Inspired by this verse from the Yoga Vasishta Sara, Swami Sarvapriyananda speaks on the nature of the Self.

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.

[@unchangingawareness535]

Revered Swamiji shared a very important insight during this discourse - 🙏🙏🙏👇🏾 When dualistic Religions says “Always think about God” - it can only be possible in 2 ways - (1) When the God that you are supposed to think about is, you, yourself. Because you are always constantly available to yourself. (2) When the God that you are supposed to think about is EVERYTHING that you experience. No matter where you are, with whom you are and whatever is the place or whatever is the time, you are always immersed in God. If not, it is not possible for the human mind to hold on to one thought throughout the day - one mantra, one deity. 1st verse of Tattwa Gnana: You are the consciousness, 2nd verse : Everything that you experience is consciousness.

[@subhajitgayen6443]

one who collects every drop of fragrances of his life will reach highest bhakti or bliss and highest realization and will find that divine Bramhan is sitting inside you. That which is running this creation as well as in you too.

Last day I went for a seminar of hare Krishna, the organizers of Gachibowli came so late, and were trying to feed some political propaganda. Thank God I am back here . Love from Kerala ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@TheExtremeRover]

Once I went in a Sri Krishna kind of organisation, in a Kolkata institute, they started poisoning young minds with hatred by dictating India's attack on Pakistan and other political stuff. That day, I could not question on their face, but now I feel guilty whenever I remember the incident, cause I could not ask "why a religious organisation should discuss politics?"

Swamy you are simply a God on earth. Words are limitations to appreciate your knowledge. I always wonder how on earth this person has accumulated so much of knowledge and wisdom with the shortest period of time you have lived so far. Must be a continuation of your previous births. Is it an intellectual intelligence or intuitive intelligence. Whatever it may be you are an Avatar who has come to this world to remove our ignorance. Thank you Swami ji.

[@JonasAnandaKristiansson]

YES!!!

[@sumitdutta7043]

Sir/Mam actually many of the monks of the world have such knowledge. Its just Swami Sarvapriyananda has such a good command over language and also his abiloty to give speech is on of the best. Many Ramkrishna Mission monks have such knowledge. One such monk is Swami Samarpananda there is a channel called Indian Spiritual Heritage where he gives lectures in English/Bengali and Hindi. Swami Medhananda lectures are also great his research attitude is really high. There is one Swami, people call him Mahan Mj who is one of the top mathematician of India. Etc....there are many...

[@ivanpontual6458]

Hearing Swamiji’s reference to the distinction between yogic samadhi and Vedantic knowledge one is reminded of Thakur’s distinction between jnana and vijnana, as well as the lesson Tota Puri learned at the end of his stay with Thakur: Brahman is not in samadhi only, Mother, Mahamaya, is indeed Brahman.

Dear, It is not just children who are growing up, we are all growing up! The need is to find out whether children are growing up like us, reading fake history/narrative? The basic essence of Sanatan culture is that we exist as one despite diversity in the world! Hence each child of Bharat has to grow up into an independent tree of Sanatana Dharm, not a branch! No one can stop Bharat from becoming a world leader! Mahadev Bless Us All! JAI VAASUDEV KUTAMBUKAM!

However, it's challenging for householders to engage in meditation and attain enlightenment. The majority who have succeeded are Avatars, having accomplished much in past lives. Post-enlightenment, it's simple to advise against seeking elsewhere. The societal influence of Maya is formidable pre-enlightenment. Your discussions on Advaita and insights from OSHO are somewhat aiding me in navigating this journey. Thanks a lot Swamiji🙏🙏🙏
