What an enlightening discourse this is between Richard and the Swami! Richard,like what the swami says, you have changed and transformed my life and brought me closer to God and our lord Jesus. Swami you are such an enlightened person. Wow! From a catholic Argentinian to a Hindu monk.! Without losing the beauty of either theology!!! God bless you two dear , dear people of God! Richard you are in my thoughts and prayers daily. I am your faithful student. We are old friends. I am now 83 years old and live in Canada.

I am from Goa and a Catholic and seeing Fr. Richard and Swami talk using such beautiful language to describe God from two practicing religious traditions! I knew it in my heart we are all the same, this confirms it, Thank you. We have hope for humanity because of talks like this. Thank you Swami🥰🙏🏽

@@andreadesouza7044 this is not correct. We are not all the same.

[@radhamadhavadasa]

Very sublime dance between two traditions. ❤

[@sheinhold]

I absolutely love the essential spiritual truths amongst traditions. My spiritual journey has been lit on fire by both of these wonderful souls spreading love and unity in diversity which is the ultimate way we can reconcile our differences! Thank you for this amazing conversation! ❤❤❤

[@peacelovejoy8786]

Spirituality is natural goodness. It is not a thing; it is the atmosphere of God's Presence, Goodness, Truth, and Beauty. God is not a person; God is a Presence Personified in us. Sounds good to me! 💛 Thank you both☮️

[@TimothyCampling]

I feel blessed to have listened to this beautiful conversation and I think everyone who hears this is blessed. Many people turn away from religions because they have the impression that every religion wants to claim a sole claim to truth. Here we see that this does not apply to those that have progressed in faith.

🕊Peace preachers, dandavats. 🙌

[@robertlalor8090]

Thank you and bless you both. Like good wine, time makes you better and better

[@willgiorno1740]

It was a delight to listen to this Swami, it made me happy 😊 thankyou both!

[@stephanivrndasundari]

It was a pleasure and honor to witness this beautiful conversation. Thank you for recording it and sharing it.

[@borjetillman8015]

It’s so clear in this conversation that the teachings of Jesus or Krishna or any teaching that Leeds toward love to God and to his parts and are practiced as father Richard mention, that I give averything. Then you can see this man have developed love.

[@theplanter2041]

Thank u Father for your wonderful life and message....u show us the religion of love

[@jeffdocherty]

We don’t think we’re going to die because we intuitively know we don’t die, our earth body does, as is natural.

[@peacelovejoy8786]

The real world is not like this it has no buildings and there are no streets where people walk alone and separate. There are no stores where people buy an endless list of things they do not need. It is not lit with artificial light, and night comes not upon it. There is no loss. Nothing is there but shines, and shines forever. Death is a reward and not a punishment. Love & Peace ♥️☮️🙏

@@micamge Adelante.

@@SwamiPadmanabhahay videos donde no sale ningúna opción, otros solo en inglés, en otros hay opciones en todos los idiomas. Pensé que dependía de algo que se hace al publicar los videos. En éste en particular no vi ninguna opción y me preocupé ya que estaba esperando esta conversación desde siempre y cuando non vi la opción, se puede imaginar el desespere, pero empezaron a salir los subtitulos en italiano luego de haber escrito el mensaje 👀. Extraño pero para mi, super 😁. Ahora los hay en todos los idiomas 🤣. 🙏

But doesnt Fr Rohr teach advaita non-dualism? Not compatible with vaisnavism or dominant bhakti mindset - prabhupad taught non dualism was satanic.

[@SwamiPadmanabha]

Yes, Fr. Rohr teaches non-dualism. And Srila Prabhupada also teaches non-dualism, since Gaudiya Vaishnavism is a non-dual tradition, like every other Vaishnava tradition. Advaita Vedanta is Radical Non-dualism, while Vaishnava traditions present various forms of Nuanced Non-dualism. If you want, see the tenth chapter of my book Radical Personalism for more on this.

[@IC-XC_NIKA]

@@SwamiPadmanabha what about Dvaita Vedanta - thats a Vaisnava tradition too, no? I cannot purchase your book out of my objection to Fr Rohr who radically and criminally misrepresents the historic Christian tradition which asserts the eternal distinction between God and the individual soul.

[@SwamiPadmanabha]

@@IC-XC_NIKA Dvaita Vedanta, despite positing a strong emphasis on the difference between matter and spirit as well as God and the soul, nonetheless also highlights the interconnectedness of them all, and therefore it´s also a non-dual tradition. As I already mentioned, Richard Rohr does not cancel the eternal distinction between God and the soul. I know him personally and have read many of his books, and nowhere does he say such a thing. Again, non-dual doesn´t mean impersonal.

[@omshantiomshanti8363]

​​​@@IC-XC_NIKAboth the enemy and Christ said God was within them, one individualized it into his own ego, the other showed the path of true selflessness and showed our True Nature in the Fullness of God.
