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

It was a historic event, for the seed of the world-wide Ramakrishna Movement was sown here in New York over a century ago.

30 years ago...I practiced meditation . By reading Swami Vivekananda book I do meditation . Finally I able go to deep meditation. But for all these you need develop your Bhakthi . Without Pure Bhakthi, you can't reach the light ( jothi). So, first you need chanting mantra.....! By chanting the mantra you will feel the vibration begin. It is an experience, feeling and blessed. Vibration help you reach the light. Everyone in this life time, at least one time must reach the light. It is full of happiness, blessings... can't tell in words..🙏 experience. The light, it is within you.

Always looking forward to Swami’s wise words and simple way of articulating pure wisdom. My spiritual quest got its pinnacle through his words. I am indebted and consider him my Guru. Words can’t do justice to the deep feeling, regard and pure love I feel in my heart. Grateful beyond words. Thank you for sharing your light with spiritual seekers who are seeking no destination but the truth of our existence. 🙏🙏💚

I respect ur feelings about ur feelings about swamy ji but he himself does not refer to him as a Guru. Guru is incarnation of God on earth. Only Ramkrishn Parmhans and swamy Vivekananda fall in the category of a SATGURU. If not believe me than ask him

4 stages in breathing meditation. 1. Take a posture which is maintainable. Easy and not painful. Movement of body to be avoided (not in a rigid way). Be relaxed, Be aware. 2. Be focused from head to toe. Feel the sensations. Bring body to centre stage of awareness. 3. Narrow the awareness even further till the breath. You will feel the breath in the nose, around face, in tummy, coursing through out the body. 4. Bring attention to tip of the nose. Breath passing in and out. Sensation in nostrils. Let the thoughts and feelings come, but let them be in the background.

[@ramdassdas]

@@adnanadill that's what we call as Advaita. A true Advaita or a realised sadhu never distinguishes religion nor he belongs to any. He sees everything with unanimity. I to agree that Allah is Ishwar, Ishwar is Jesus, we all are nothing but one truth. You question about Ram is something neither i am in a position to clarify you nor you will be satisfied with any answer. Isn't there similar stories of sacrifices in Islam. Every religion tries to teach in the capacity of one practising.

what is remarkable is that in spite of the persisting, nagging ache , with some measure of bhakti, if we concentrate deep, sometimes when we go further into the realm of bhakti in that meditating posture, suddenly there is no pain at all , but being mundane creatures as we are, just the moment you feel the absence of pain, the mind will slip down from that bhakti -stage and immediately you will feel the sting of pain.

There is only One God and His Obedience according to His commands is religion. There are neither different Gods nor Different regions 21:22 But in different periods of time different places on earth using different language Same and One God, Dictated Humanity His Obedience and selection of these different people, place, time and language doesn't make different religion or different God.... 17:110 But update and correction/restoration of same message, when it got corrupted or tampered by humans, due to different factors. The first and oldest message is from India when its name was not even India or Bharat.... thus God/Eshwer/Allah love India first and preferred over other nations...... These are the words of God not me.... Why God/Eshwer/Allah gave First preference to India and Named it Hind He sends down first man Adam AS in Sri Lanka on Mount Adam, and then he crossed to India through Adam's bridge. Then he lived and prospered in Adams Tanur in South India. وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِي آدَمَ وَحَمَلْنَاهُمْ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ وَرَزَقْنَاهُم مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَفَضَّلْنَاهُمْ عَلَىٰ كَثِيرٍ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا تَفْضِيلًا ﴿الإسراء: ٧٠﴾ Verily We favored Children of Adam and We carried them across the Land and the Sea, and awarded best choice/place to sustain. And preferred them over many other nations (India) 17:70 The first verse or commands or laws given to Adam was in India. يَا بَنِي آدَمَ قَدْ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ لِبَاسًا يُوَارِي سَوْآتِكُمْ وَرِيشًا ۖ وَلِبَاسُ التَّقْوَىٰ ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّـهِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ ﴿٢٦﴾ Oh children of Adam dress yourself and hide your private parts and covering yourself with God's obedience is better for you 7:26. Then second command يَا بَنِي آدَمَ لَا يَفْتِنَنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ كَمَا أَخْرَجَ أَبَوَيْكُم مِّنَ الْجَنَّةِ يَنزِعُ عَنْهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوْآتِهِمَا ۗ إِنَّهُ يَرَاكُمْ هُوَ وَقَبِيلُهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا تَرَوْنَهُمْ ۗ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا الشَّيَاطِينَ أَوْلِيَاءَ لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿٢٧﴾ Oh Children of Adam do not follow evil and the evil commands you nakedness and nakedness is root of may evils/disputes and the evil grabs you from corners you can’t even understand that and Satan/evil lies with people who do not believe in One and all power God 7:27. And the oath taken of No temples or Idol worship7:172 أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يَا بَنِي آدَمَ أَن لَّا تَعْبُدُوا الشَّيْطَانَ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ ﴿يس: ٦٠﴾ Did We not take the Oath with Children of Adam not to follow/worship Evil/Satan, verily he is your open enemy ? 36:60 And stupids of that time mis-used this preference and chance give and started temples and Idol worship and made Eshwer/Allah to overlook India. And Adam AS first prophet son was Shees AS (Shiv). He moved to Himalayas and lived in Mount Kailash. Then next prophet and Shees son was Anush (Vishnu). He too lived in India. So I have to be proud, of this preference of God, to my country and my people. And angry on people like you who in spite of instruction in Vedas, Upanishads and Geeta do Idol worship and brought loss to total India. And stupids of that time mis-used this preference and chance give and made Eshwer/Allah to overlook India. Decide, are you too proud Hindu? And an educated and learned Hindu cannot take human as God, so forget monkey and elephants as god. Do you take humans and monkey as your God ? Do you believe Stone Idols in temples has any connections with God the Creator of Universe??????? If you are true Hindu, respect the oath taken and follow the first two commandments given to Adam As in India. Even Name ""Hind or Hindu"" is awarded by Him the Originator of Universe.

Sarah Moore, please watch what you are saying. Always remember Sanyasins are men who have renounced worldly life and are seeking the spiritual truths. They are like the priests in Catholic religion and the Bhikshus in Buddhism, monks! We can be impressed by a monk and take him as our guru :spiritual teacher. Follow his teachings to grow spiritually! None should get closer to these dedicated monks in a personal way. He and other monks belong to the population working for the bb of the world! Let them be, do not hope to get in their way!

I don't hope to get in his way. I am in love with him. I do understand his life though and would never want to get in his way. Also when I say I am in love with him I meant also in a spiritual way. Yes I am attracted to his smile and the way that he speaks but I am so very proud of him for his path. How could I ever hope to get in his way? Everything he is doing for us is beautiful. Perhaps you are right. I just not have mentioned my feelings but I was caught up in the emotion of his insights and pure spiritual soul, His personality, and his divinity. Don't you understand those are the things which make me love him? How can I hope to change those things? Also I am celibate. His whole being fills my being. Is that not a certain kind of spiritual love?
