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.

Swami Sarvapriyananda Ji please do a podcast with Sandeep Maheswari about Spirituality and Vedanta..

[@ashred9665]

Whenever i'm afraid in life and fear overcomes...I watch your talks Swamiji. I feel profoundly at ease. Truly grateful.

[@charulll3]

Truely! Me too.

[@Thenarayanaclips]

Me too. My mind gets immediately another chance to get focussed. ​@@charulll3

I ordered and now have that book Nectar Of Supreme Knowledge, I've been studying Vedanta and this book is a wonderful book that can be read again and again. There are 10 chapters of wonderful knowledge and insight.

[@shashank_1604]

We are in that era where self proclaimed godmen who have neither read the scriptures nor have had any experience roam every nook and corner of India. They just blabber whatever comes to their minds and their blind followers support them and defend them. In this era of blindness, Swami Sarvapriyananda is a gem of light and hope. He has not only read and understood the scriptures in Hinduism, but also has read the works and scriptures from other religions and philosophies as well. The way Swamy explains concepts to his students and disciples makes him the greatest of all teachers. Brahman created Swamy intentionally to become a monk and save us from this samsara. All glories to Swamy Sarvapriyananda 🌼

[@tnparameswaranthiruthumukk1144]

Truth is vv difficult to digest and practice. Swamiji is most open and the courage needed to become a dedicated monk is is also very very Rare. His love as well. as humour combine the greatest assets.Prostrations in his front.. A great resort for yearning minds..

[@sarahmottramart]

Always delivering a profound zap, clear, cognisant & clean living-speaking man. Thank you for existing.

[@pankajvedant8197]

Thank you Swamijee. Your natural ability to go on so many short and long tangents and still keep coming to the main topic is otherworldly. And all the tangents are amusing and full of knowledge and support the central topic. Your memory for details both subtle and mundane is supernatural. Really blessed to have run into you this lifetime. 🙏

[@bholaram1890]

Well put. This conveys what I feel as well. 😊

[@yogitanausaran9332]

ya so true...well put

Swami Sarvapriyananda Ji please do a podcast with Sandeep Maheswari Sir about Spirituality and Vedanta••••

[@sanjeevabhishek]

Swamiji accept my humble pranams, I am so blessed to listen your talks regularly, I am understanding most complicated topics on Vedanta very easily by your simple teachings. Thank you Swamiji 🙏

[@malalentin7676]

Many pranams to Swami Sarvapriyanandji 🙏 it was such a pleasure & delight to know that our Nana - Professor G R Malkani could draw your attention to his teachings & books. We (my sister & myself) listen to a lot of your talks and are vedantic students. So cant really express our joy when suddenly we heard you taking baba (our nana)'s name. Feeling truly blessed🙏

[@noself7889]

The beginning of this talk was eye opening. Sometimes I feel like I am spiritual bypassing and trying to leave the world but the world is none other then Brahman. Very profound 🙏Thank You!

[@noself7889]

Your talks have been an amazing Grace to my spiritual growth and understanding. I get the presence of the Guru even through this video. Your words and spirit are profound. Thank you 🙏☦️🕉️☸️☯️

[@sleepydank8330]

Swami emanates such warmth and purifying peaceful energy. Infinite joy and calmness of Brahman always ever present

[@abhikkumarsarkar6049]

Swamiji's lectures are really extraordinary. Swamiji makes the highest Philosophy so easily understandable.... Millions and millions of people all over the world are benefiting from his lectures. Swamiji delivers with so much friendliness. Brings his highest seriousness to our level.

[@gopal_kolathu1960]

Swami ji. You’ve answered a question in this discourse that arose in me many years ago, when I was struck by this thought: all these systems of Vedanta, all this phenomenal world, all this talk of karma and rebirth and progressive purification, the puranas, and so on and so on, which are apparently millennia old, not to mention this ancient 13 odd billion-year-old universe, they all arise only in my consciousness. I myself have no means to assert that they existed independent of me, such assertion is not verifiable by me. Now you’ve told me this is the Drishti Srishti school… that’s a relief, that I’m not off my rocker, this question is addressed by “others”, if any… Still all this, including the phone I’m apparently typing on, exists only within this awareness. So I’m wondering who am I sending this to… 😅

[@jyothipandit2755]

Its not enough to just get a question answered, its imperative to jump into the sadhana and climb the next step. The mind is very tricky and will keep going round in circles avoiding the basic physical effort required to be made to get out of its clutches. The same way as we see how urgent,how important it is to feed the body,its even more urgent and imperative to rise to the next level,wether achieved or not the effort has to be persistent tangible and real,abhyasa,otherwise it will not leave an imprint on the soul and we will lose link in next life, till the present body is alive, this effort has to be there continuously in the background of all other activities to maintain the continuity,otherwise it will sink back and karma will accumulate on the surface and to get out of the karma Bandha will take several births.We must keep the mind turned godwards all the time,literally,otherwise its just another fancy philospohy and death is a reality that can come anytime,anywhere.

[@josiesmith2773]

Thank you for this very helpful guidance.

[@hassantucker8273]

When you don’t experience this world it still exist because every one whose passed on left those behind who still are experiencing this world.

[@prasun007m]

Swamiji you have an amazing sense of delivering speech. Thank you. I was searching you online for quite sometime to listen you. Thank you again.

Swami always makes me happy. 'Vedanta for Dummies'. I am just back from the Fire Festival on Insein Road here in Yangon. So Swami was live streaming which was perfect. Swami and Bernardo Karstrup and the work of Ian Stephenson help me understand the truth. I practice good works and deeds in my working life. Good path. I am happy

[@SK-hg1sc]

Swami🙏, Wish there is an emoji for साष्टांग नमस्कार! Your pravachan, and Q&A are super eloquent and made easy for commoners. Could you list some of the latest commentaries or books in English that we keep at home that may entice the teenagers of these days?

[@niteshgurnani9538]

मैं इन सभी तरीकों में सृष्टि दृष्टि वाद को पहले स्थान पर रखता हूं।

[@PS-vw1vj]

Three ways of looking at the universe, referred to by Swamiji can be told in the languages of the western philosophy as 1. Realism - Dristi Sristi bada. 2. Idealism - Sristi Dristi bada. 3. Non- dualism - Ajatabada. Among these the last one has few takers in western world.

Swami ji is exceptional in driving home the Indian wisdom in a manner most powerful, yet most understandable even to novice, early entrants into this field of study.
