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, you are the ‘ VIVEKANANDA’ of our generation.I have watched your many videos in last few weeks. Just to mention- I have been listening to more than 10 Spiritual Masters in last 20 years. And the way you expounded’ ADWAITA VEDANTA’ is UNMATCHED. I have got crystal clear knowledge of SAT CHIT AANANDA( EXISTANCE, CONSCIOUSNESS, BLISS ). EKAM SAT BAHUDA VIPRAHA VADANTI, AHAM BRAMHASMI, SARVAM KHALWIDAM BRAMHA. There is only ONE and not second . I have NO more questions about it. Now my next path is NIDHIDHYSANA. Now I know theoretically BRAMHAN. But , Only through NIDHIDHYASANA I will be able EXPERIENCE the vision what other SPIRITUAL MASTERS had experienced. I sincerely prostrate to yourself for offering such a life changing KNOWLEDGE to not only myself but to the entire world. BLESSED are those who can get this knowledge and IMPLEMENT into their lives continuously for their SELF REALISATION.

He is the reincarnation of Swami Vivekananda.

[@lakshmanprasad9300]

Such a powerful teaching - The true teaching of the Advaitha, distilled by Swami Vivekananda and then now being expressed by this great Swami who truly understands it. Takes a bow. It is such a privilege to be listening to this. May this reach many people and help them towards liberation!

Swami ji you are one of the greatest teachers in this world. Please accept my humble pranaams 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@Selvakumar-cd5gr]

*Non-Dual = Mother Of All Knowledge*

[@garvolt]

Incredible teacher. Makes things so easy to understand and has answers to questions we all ask.

[@reddogmom3365]

Jim Patrick absolutely right

[@c_46_tikendrakumarsahu36]

How can the world be awareness alone.If you understand everything please explain by replying me.I am very eager to know.Because if this is true I am infinite and I will be forever happy.

[@ghulamsarwar4512]

what does Vedanta say about the purpose of the creation? its amazing when Swami said Brahman experiences himself as samsara! it is the greatest revelation to me and i am obsessed with Advaita Vedanta and it has changed my character and behaviour in a positive way.

[@jakecarlo9950]

You can’t be told it, you must behold it! ❤️

[@richa4i01]

🙏🙏pranaam maharaj.. You make this “dry abstract “ philosophy most juicy thing in this world .your lectures are like end of the world. Shastaang pranaam.

[@beachboxrealty]

so juicy!

[@cyllyrabbit]

Excellent as always. Makes Maya almost palatable. Also, "No Jnana without Bhakti, no Bhakti without Jnana. Just as a one legged man cannot travel far or a bird with one wing fly."

[@aayusheegarg]

I finally got the answers to so many questions. Time, space, and causation. Very well explained by Swamiji. Thanks

[@skynet_cyberdyne_systems]

Very Good talk ! Since I have read a lot of Hindu, Buddhists texts and Physics so I already understand all this but good to hear it well articulated by Swami ji.

[@adityaitagi]

"The universe is the wreckage of the infinite on the shores of time,space and causation." Chills. Literal chills.

[@raghuramakrishnabezawada6120]

1) how i wish this illuminating knowledge is reintroduced into regular syllabus 2) along with this also teach the bible, Quran, 3) Let people learn and live without quarrelling, in peace 4) how i wish the mindless Nehruvian socialism is thrown out, instead inclusive practical social responsibilities are re-established, transcending narrow barriers.

[@kishorekumark5698]

GOD BLESS YOU..!!!

[@thewanderer6444]

"That which is formless, I have worshiped you with a form, forgive me. That which is infinite, I have worshiped you in the finite, forgive me. That which is not an object, I have worshiped as an object, please forgive me."

[@adiawesome4137]

Whom are you asking for forgiveness?

[@RAIRADIO]

Why forgiveness? Its not a crime. When someone dies, we keep their photo. We kiss the phone that connects us to the person we love. Whats there to forgive.

[@kayferrari5361]

You are a very good teacher my friend. Not only are you making it easier for me to understand these essential things we should be teaching our children, but as you reveal these gemstones the deepest part of my being is awoken and manifests itself like stardust, showering everything i am with tiny particles of meditation. This is Love. Thank you.

I wrote something and then deleted it because there is nothing else to add or comment. All that I can say is listen carefully and contemplate with a loving feeling ( and not thinking too much). THANK YOU Swami!

[@tariqmkayes3261]

One of the most comprehensive talks on religion and its interpretations

[@alexrfontes]

Very enlightening! Thanks very much, Swami and all who worked to make this speech and video available to all!!

[@pulakmondal7357]

Brilliant! we are blessed with your profound knowledge and great wisdom!!🙏

[@divyaalokverma]

I'm so happy I found Swami Sarvapriyananda ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@jakecarlo9950]

Thank you very much. From my background, the absolute, in following its own nature, expressing itself as its apparent opposite, maya, has so much resonance with Hegel’s dialectic of spirit. Much appreciated.

[@dasgoood2811]

Astonishing, and that makes my conviction even stronger to join Ramakrishna Order! Anyone else joining with me?

[@Pallasathena-hv4kp]

Find the nearest Vedanta Society if you are in the West. 🙏

Thank u Swami Ji for this amazing introduction of non-dualism

[@debasishnag631]

Definitely has especial blessings of GOD. Not possible at his age to talk in so much depth. So much knowledge but full of clarity

[@asokeroy8409]

Swamiji, Bless me so that I can practise in this mundane life of mine what you have been teaching with the compassion of Buddha and rationality of Shankara. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@Lord.Dakshinamurthy]

Paaaa...what a quote yo...have the heart of buddhah and the intellect of shakara :) 🔱

[@rochellelisa7959]

So many wonderful informative videos. Swami Ji is very generous with wonderful information

[@subhabanerji3658]

No need amy more to be overwhelmed. Gratitude knew no bounds! Shroddha Anantar !

[@beachboxrealty]

I understand these lectures! Bravo Swami Sarvapriyananda! Someday I will not meet you! lol

[@user-nx5dz3kk5y]

I agree with all great things mentioned about Swamiji. He explains most difficult questions in adavait Vedanta so well so convincingly. Without him who would have revealed/ uncovered these mysteries.

[@rkaravind]

Stunning explanation, stunning clarity, I have no words.. Just wow wow wow... Saashtaang Pranaam Maharaj !!!

[@sumanjoshi7902]

Very clear and enlightening. Thank you Swamiji for being you.🙏🏿👍🏿

[@darkknightryder]

Thanks to Swami Sarvapriyanand ji and Vedanta Society for providing us such enlightening lectures 🙏🙏😇

[@gitastudygroup1628]

"What the ignorant call Samsara, the enlightened call Nirvana" is my take away from this talk for deep reflection and meditation. Thank you Swami-ji. Vriju

[@abhinand_77]

Nice takeaway! The enlightened are enlightened because once he was ignorant. Ignorant is ignorant because he is moving towards enlightenment Ignorant and enlightened hence are one and the same.

[@the_real_hacker_]

Good explaination of the concept of non-dualism by swamiji 🙏🏻 Really a timeless gift to humanity 😊❤️

[@pravingandhi4468]

Ok, you answered my question

[@chuckkespert353]

I've been schooled. Thank you.

[@brettneuberger6466]

I love Swami. Such an insightful and thorough presentation.

[@aniruddhasamanta4859]

Pranaam Swamiji. As always , excellent talk by Swamiji. It is really an effect of my past good karma that I get to listen to your talks. Your talks should be listened by one and all irrespective of whatever religious path they are following. They all will get true wisdom.

[@kishorekumark5698]

HAHAHA... MY CHILD, IT ALL HAPPENS AND HAPPENED BECAUSE OF PRIOR KARMA. NEVER WORRY ABT OTHERS. BE REALISTIC AND HONEST TO UR SELF THE TRUE THURIA WILL HIT UR AZNA CHAKRA. GOD BLESS U.

[@satarupasengupta1259]

First of all Iwant to ask who has named you Sarvapriyonanda ? So apprpriate you are sobar priyo aar anondo dayok .Swamiji your explanations are superb unparallel.I wish I could have gone to your Ashram or if you can come to Kolkata I wish and eagerly want to mmeet you Swamiji koti koti pron SATARUPA SENGUPTA

[@torimusblake6377]

Excellent talk again, especially the first half. There is another good analogy for question about "being & manifestation", ie. our world of the waking state. All this universe is a God's dream which is experienced through all sentient beings in a similar way we experience our dreams during a sleep. From single mind/consciousness arise space & time & myriads of objects & causal events, perceived by a dreaming subject - all as appearances. "God's mind" can create countless subjects like can split itself "erroneous" mind of a human with dissociative identity disorder (DID). Everything we perceive are creations in God's dream, reflected in ours consciousness which is identical with God's.

[@vasavichakka2803]

Salute to your great way of teachings . It's incredible the way you teached about Maya and Being. It all cleared my doubts in just a second. I'm blessed to hear your lectures.

[@pravinakilpady1237]

[@srikalarengarajan3119]

What a riveting lecture Swami ji🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@AbhishekKumar-sz9fl]

The best teacher of the century 🙌😌

[@radovanradovanovic2755]

As soon as God knew "I am", - that "I am" can only be thought in as a third person, it is no longer the first person, thus one became two. I know I am, I know that I know that I am. God gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three and three gave birth to all things.

[@jayapal4572]

Thank you so much Swami ji 🙏🙏

Divine nature is our nature.infinite love infinite purity is divine

[@fairweatherfriends.]

I don’t think the how is the difficult question but the WHY.

[@achintyabiswas5388]

After listening to all these talk we remain at the same point.

[@Ramachandra-fd7mv]

Lovely Lovely and Great Great.

[@madan73]

Swamiji truly took a plunge into the deep end but he swam beautifully and even took us along and brought us safely to the shore of knowledge. A truly thrilling and inspirational lecture.. God Bless 🙏

[@saipawankumar5297]

Profound!!

[@absolute7433]

Thank you 😊

[@shayamaldolai]

Best talk on Maya.

[@aav12]

The concept of worshipping Ishta Devta in Sanatan Hindu tradition has the strong Advaita foundation behind it. The method to choosing Ishta Devta is to understand the different sanskaras our sthool (gross), sookshma ( subtle) and karak sharir (bodies) have since the beginning of existence (not just this one life). Then this understanding is put in to the use to turn inwards. Like how Guru Ramakrishna Paramhamsa worshipped Kali Mata which was not just because of a Bhakti but as a conduit to eliminate the flux between these three sharirs (bodies) with the Atman.

[@RAIRADIO]

You are so right. It is because of this advaita foundation that so many ideas remain conflictless.

[@ganeshshukla1284]

Bro Advaita Vedanta is not separate from Hinduism it is a part of Hinduism 😊

[@rajlaxminaidu2859]

Great start for Monday....as a Fools day....any day....any time....swami makes sense...in a huge way....it was breezy....butt riveting..... thanks a lot swamiji.....💐💐💐

[@devotoderamakrishna]

I once attended a lecture by Swami Sarvapriyananda, in which he told the story of a young monk of the Ramakrishna Order, who was suddenly stricken by an incurable disease, and within a few days he died at the hospital. But the core of the lecture was that the doctor who attended the monk was devastated by the suffering and death of such a young person, but the monk consoled him, saying that everything was fine, because the meaning of his life had already been fulfilled to discover devotion to God through Sri Ramakrishna, Sarada Devi, Swami Vivekananda, and that the doctor was very impressed to see that concrete manifestation of the miracle of faith. I cannot find the video of this lecture. Could anyone here tell me in which video I could find this story? Some friends and I have created a channel to subtitle Swami's videos into Portuguese, and I would love to be able to subtitle this one too. Thank you.

[@godblissfulfun]

43:49 I'm able to see that happening more and more too. This is probably because there is more structure established to the aspects of the universe, which would've remained abstract earlier... we all must be witnessing Vivekananda's prophecy coming true...

[@neerajjaiswal9392]

A day is good day when i get to listen to swami ji maharaj. My sincere Pranama to you maharaj.
