You are the Light Shining | Swami Sarvapriyananda

"My nature is light, Nothing but light.
When the world arises I alone am shining.
When the world arises in me,
It is just an illusion:
Water shimmering in the sun,
A vein of silver in mother-of-pearl,
A serpent in a strand of rope."
Inspired by these verses from the Ashtavakra Gita, Swami Sarvapriyananda speaks on the nature of the Self.

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.

He is God incarnate. I attended his discourses in Bombay (April 24-26) and even got a chance to prostrate to his divinity in person. It has been a surreal experience and I can only say, I have touched 'Divinity'.🙏❤

[@spiritualseeker.]

Blessed

[@thyagarajant.r.3256]

It is the power of Sri Thakur,rather Ma Kali who is none other than the dynamic aspect of Brahman

[@sunfield009]

Pranaams from Bay Area. We are so thankful for your free public teaching. I hope to meet you one day in person Swamiji. ❤

[@riokobeforever3398]

Advaita is not a philosophy.. It is the Truth of ourselves.. It is not a matter of belief it is Thou art That.. Dearest Swamiji I Have reached Samadhi.. Hope mother Brings us Together 1 day

[@kengemmer]

My real nature is light shining. I am only light. When the world shines it is I alone who am shining.

[@jshdhdyjfjdjfhfyyene731]

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

[@thebelligerentbostonian7524]

Guruji has a knack for coming up with excellent titles for his talks. I'm also very excited for the two upcoming lectures on *Shunyam* (emptiness) and *Poornam* (completeness). What's really remarkable (at least for KZbin) is that they're _never_ clickbait titles. What you see is what you get.

[@waldwassermann]

Yes. Like water very clear and pure when it springs from the spring mount.

[@thyagarajant.r.3256]

Emptiness or void??

[@thebelligerentbostonian7524]

@@thyagarajant.r.3256 Yes, "The Void" is better.

[@1969clk]

[@pattyayers]

This is amazing! The clearest verbal explanation of atman, pure consciousness. I’ve ever heard. I almost get it! And I remembered that Jesus said, “I am the light of the world.”

For me this swamy appears as swamy Vivekananda.

[@apratimchatterjee2411]

I hope that one day by the grace of Thakur, I could renounce the world and join the order to make this knowledge manifest. Glories to Sarvapriyanandaji Maharaj and the Holy Trio

[@ambigambi]

Wow ... there is no distance between water and the wave ... we are seeking the water in the wave, saying where is it? That's profound

[@anantmb]

Swami ji should have a conversation with Tom Campbell..his my big toe metaphors are new but it's attepting to coveying what vedanta was ..infact it helped me understand vedanta better as metaphors are more relatable to new day..eg consciousness which is fundamental gets a data stream..this world reality is like a virtual reality aka Maya.. we are all part of larger consciousness system aka God.. initially it's can be difficult to get used to his metaphors but then it opens up new dimensions of understanding

This, for me, is the most essential talk I ever heard. This is It.

[@user-wd2ku9cz5d]

Outstanding and no words are enough to describe Swamy like Brahma cannot be described. It appears Sakaracharya has come as Sarbapriyananda to spread Vedanta Brahma in a lucid and humorous way among the masses all world over staying in the States. He is a hope to the Sinner and the best Vedantic teacher the world has seen in the 21st century. Swamy bless us all.

[@arveen90]

मैं स्वामी जी को बहुत रुचि से इसलिए सुनता हूं कि बहुत ही सरलता से वे इतने कठिन विषय को समझा देते हैं।ईश्वर की उन पर विशेष अनुकंपा है। इस विषय पर स्वामी जी ने अनुभव क्या है?समझाया है,बहुत सरलता से।स्वामी जी, परंतु मन में कुछ प्रश्न उठ रहे है।यदि समाधान मिल सके तो स्पष्टता मिल सकेगी। 🙏 प्रश्न है की उक्त कथन के अनुसार वस्तु + चेतना= अनुभव , अनुभव किस का? सत द्वारा असत का अनुभव ?🤔असत तो होता ही नही, तो कैसा अनुभव?नासतो विद्यते भावो नाभावो विद्यते सतः।। इस चेतना और वस्तु के मिलने से अनुभव होना के अनुसार चेतना से वास्तु का अस्तित्व पृथक है क्योंकि वस्तु और चेतना के मिलने से अनुभव होता है।पर सत कैसे असत को प्रकाशित करेगा,असत तो होता ही नही । कृपया मुझे इस अस्पष्टता से मुक्त करें।🙏

[@arveen90]

पूज्यनीय स्वामी जी, वेदांत, अद्वैत,विशिष्ट अद्वैत, सांख्य आदि के विषय में जो भी,जितना भी ज्ञान प्राप्त कर सका हूं वह आपका ही आशीर्वाद है।मेरे प्रश्नों का उत्तर आपके लेक्चर में आपने स्वयं ही दे दिया,अपने साथ ही याद दिला दिया की जो बात हो रही थी वह सांख्य था, अद्वैत नही😊और सभी भ्रम तुरंत दूर हो गए सभी प्रश्न स्वतः ही समाप्त हो गए🙏। आपको कैसे ज्ञात हुआ कि यहां कुछ भ्रम आएगाअतः स्पष्ट करना बनता है,आप जीनियस हैं प्रभु।

The Self (Shiva/God/Allah/Buddha/Turiya) veils itself as Life for its own Joy; this Joy being the ability to experience Companionship more commonly known as Love. In other words. Life is more joyous when properly understood what Life is and especially why Life/Self is. Beautiful. Beyond beautiful.

[@rathodnarendra5255]

Many times I heard that shree ramakrishna touches the shree vivekananda and Vivekananda finally understand the everything is consciousness and I thinks that only consciousness can gives you experience like your body gives you an experience of pain and it is also consciousness as same this rock or tree or chair if it is not consciousness then it can't gives you an experience.
