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.

In just 20 minutes he has presented the philosophy of ADWAITHA which has developed over centuries and has made it acceptable and very useful to the listener.

Hats off to all that made it happen and sharing it here. Can’t believe # of views here are 3.5K or so here, they should be 3.5M or B 😃. Have a great life. PS: Love the music of SAND in the end.

I don't know how to change my life around... I watch this video and what arises in me is overwhelm and stress. my dream life feels 999-trillion universes away from my reality: - I have minimal work (I live in poverty, always have) - the place I rent is old, old and teeny tiny-tiny-tiny - I have passions and talents that could make me rich, but... - I'm single, have been my whole life, I die for true love - fat and diabetic - old now, no longer attractive - no friends - always a million-trillion stressful things to do...

Thanks to SAND for this inspiring and authentic spirit insight into the actual origins of science. So obvious that this knowing of truth came first, and endures, and it is not the other way around.

What an astounding clarity with which The Swami conveys his message. I see no other exponent in these times who can deliver the ancient message of Advaita to the modern generation so convincingly and in such a simple manner. Simply amazing. I am grateful to be able to watch his videos so far away and still feel as I am sitting in person in front of him soaking up every word….!! Thank you, Swamiji.

[@marioalogonzalez4518]

As I hear your words and a few others...as well as reading from different scriptures and philosophical/science books, the understanding of me and everything else wanes back and forth...like putting a puzzle together...yet, I instinctely know that there is a divine reality to what you are describing...thank you for your words and message...I am hoping to at some point in time permanently feel it completely, its been my lifetime struggle...

Consciousness is not created. According to vedanta anything is born is going to die. So birth, death, time, space everything is in conciousness.

Sir very nice, the concept of consciousness is clear but what about the objects, where do the objects come from, how they are generated. In higher advait vedant the objects are also considered as densified consciousness.

[@ankita_156]

Can anyone explain me the 2nd part ??? I understood the first part

[@vsri1015]

2nd part u r not ur mind, not ur body because u r aware of it as u r aware of the objects u see. So seer and seen are different. U r the in changing consciousness who experience urself in many forms. Like a spider builds his own web not from external material and once he need to relocate it will take back his web. Like wise we all came from one, and we all r one. No time, no birth, no death. I guess

How can we know that if we're not experiencing a world without consciousness then the world doesn't exist without consciousness?

[@wetti2004]

Interesting lecture. But I didn't get really the last feature, where he said, that the world, the body and the mind are once, because we only can perceive them together with our consciousness. But when I'm sleeping or when I am in coma, I am not aware of something, but the world, my body and mind are still existing. Or when it is raining now in New York, I am not aware of that, because I live in Switzerland. But it is still a reality apart from me respectively from my awareness. What about that? Can somebody help me in this particular issue? Thank you in advance and be blessed.

[@jigme800]

I once had the same question, but he explains it very clearly in two videos in KZbin: 1.- Ask Swami with Swami Sarvapriyananda, January 6th, 2019 and 2.- Consciousness and Self in Vedanta, Swami Sarvapriyananda, University of Michigan. Each on is over an hour long, and they are incredibly clear. Best wishes to you.

[@balakalidoss]

When you are in deep sleep, you don’t experience anything. Questions you ask are just thoughts in your waking state. NY / Switzerland are thought forms in you. Below is a dialogue with the great sage Sri Ramana Maharshi: D: I have a toothache; is that only a thought? Sri Bhagwan: Yes. D: Then why can't I think that there is no toothache, and so cure myself? Sri Bhagwan: One does not feel the toothache when one is absorbed in other thoughts or when asleep. D: But still it remains. Sri Bhagwan: So strong is man's conviction of the reality of the world that it is not easily shaken off. But the world is no more real than the individual who sees it. D: At present there is a Sino-Japanese war going on. If it is only in the imagination, can or will Sri Bhagavan imagine it not to be going on and so put an end to it? Sri Bhagwan.: (laughing) The Bhagavan of the questioner (whom the questioner sees as an external being) is as much a thought of his as the Sin-Japanese War!

[@robmaric]

Manuel Wettstein in the conceptual dream world we are in we are separate. The entire experience of your life has taken place in your consciousness as images/sounds etc. all these have taken place inside you and are as close to you as your own thoughts. The story you see of “others” who are separate, places that are seperate all come to you in the form of such sounds/images/thoughts which are not seperate to you in any way. You and me as characters in the movie of life are seperate but the movie screen has never been seperate from you including all the imagery of an outside world depicted on it.

[@wetti2004]

@@robmaric Thanks. That was helpful.

[@vsri1015]

Even in deep sleep u r aware of the silence. Or once u r awake u will tell i slept like a log, so u r monitored during ur awaken, dream and deep sleep. And in ur dream everything looks real right? Once u wake up u will it is dream. So who is the reality in the dream only u. Like wise in this reality u r the only reality and that u is not ur mind cause it is object, that u is consiousness.

[@shivprasaddinkar]

The position that the self is the Brahman are absurd. Then who is having the Maaya? What is the locus of Avidya - Jeeva or Brahman? It cannot be Brahman as nothing can cloud the all effulgent Brahman. It cannot be Jeeva either as according to Adwaitam, Jeeva is the result of Avidya. The locus of Avidya cannot be in the result of the Avidya itself, right? Adwaitam is nothing more than verbal trickery propounded by Shankara. If Brahman is the ONLY thing existing, then, from where and whence can Maaya come from?

[@nirjhardas7333]

Why uttering memorized objections. If you want to know the answers then get yourself into advaitic literature and dont come to conclusions so soon just after listening to some objections put by dualists.

[@shivprasaddinkar]

Am born in an Adwaitic Tamil Brahmin - Iyer family. Was exposed only to Adwaitam while growing up and always found it to be utterly illogical and a meaningless Tattwam. Just so you know. It is Adwaitins who nod their heads like a sheep and repeat like a parrot what they hear from their Adwaitic teachers without ever using their brains or questioning their teachers.

[@nirjhardas7333]

@@shivprasaddinkar People turn into dualists being easily carried away by superficial objections which reflects their lack of assimilation of advaita which in turn reflect their lack of clarity of mind while learning. Yes, dvaitins use their brains little too much, because they are more interested in opposing and abusing advaitins in every way possible, thus tend to use their brains to forcefully convince themselves that advaita in not true.

[@shivprasaddinkar]

You do realize that you have made two contradictory statement, right. Good luck in believing a foolish Tattwam known as Adwaitham. A Tattwam that uses Shruti quotes to propound Shunya Vaadam. That is why it is disliked by Dwaitins - Adwaitham Halahala Samam!!

[@nirjhardas7333]

@@shivprasaddinkar I made no contradictory statements. This proves the truth of my statement, dvaitins are egar to find contradiction in everything. And goodluck to you too, may one day you get established in sadhana chatusthaya and become able to grasp advaita.
