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 came so late in my life is something I do certainly regret but the way he has stormed in has turnrd my very existence topsy turvy and the residual body-mind years will never be the same again. He is one and the only reigning star occupying the entire space of my choice domain.
There is nothing that happens late. Everything happens at the right time.
@@vineflower indeed true, but we still feel guilty that we have literally forgotten who we really are. And although not a bhakta yogi but still feel god is suffering and waiting for me to know the reality.
Indeed
He came at the right time.
eer
I can listen to him continuously. Even his longest of the videos feels so short. Such a beautiful explainer he is. The way of Shankara as was explained by him in this video was just mind blowing.
True same with me🙏🙏
Absolutely
Very true.
he moulds the very difficult concept into very easy peasy explanation
He has truly been sent for a purpose 🙏
Key takeaway: 🙏🙏🌞
1. Law of karma : every action is followed by natural consequences
Consciously done moral action / good action leads to positive results / consequences or happiness.
Bad action leads to bad results or suffering.
2. Work is worship.
3. Karma yoga means offering all your action or results of it to god
4. Unselfishness etc.
wow..
Thanks
A great monk who shares the greatest of gifts....knowledge and wisdom.🙏🏼
A true blessing.
A couple of years back, everything came crashing upon me. The persona I built over the years of my first 24 almost-unaware years, was burnt in few weeks.
At that point, Swami helped me develop a new one, a process still in work - a phoenix yet to fly out of the ashes. I still struggle, but him being there to guide me is all the assurance I need to keep the baby-steps alive.
In your words, I’ve found love, comfort and courage as and when needed; almost like Swami Vivekananda is speaking to me himself. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. ❤
The way Swami Sarvapriyanandji explains spirituality, it is par excellence. Full clarity, goes step by step and very loving & caring approach. Listener gets attracted towards him as if he is a very strong magnet !!!
Sir, you are the one who has taught me Vedanta and i may not have met you yet but i already consider you as my guru. I am sure one day i'll get opportunity to meet you and would like to touch your feet. I know you live in NYC, do take care in these challenging times because you are very precious for this world, you help people to come to knowledge by overcoming ignorance..simply you are an inspiration and living god for me..
Karma yoga is the path of selfless action, as Swami Vivekananda said, the path of self abnegation. In this path, the sadhaka performs every action, taking care at all times that, it doesn't feed the ego. So far as sacrifice is concerned, a karma yogi is the first and as far as personal gain is concerned, he would be the last. The easier way is to perform every action in the spirit of worshiping God by giving one's best and surrendering the results, the fruits of action as an offering, to the Lord, the Beloved. When the ego stops thinking about the fruits of the actions...when the ego thus remains unfed, it dies like a fasting snake and the Lion within awakes with all it's glory ✊
Thank you . I bow at your feets for giving such a good knowledge
@@ghc2009 Namaste 🙏
This is good, but I'm struggling how one can manage earthly duties being completely selfless...
Namaskaram Swamiji...Now i believe there is something called as Law of Attraction. For past 2 days i was searching for your video of karma yoga in youtube. I was thinking in my mind that Why swamiji’s discourse to karma yoga is not there in the list..Today when i saw your video i was in ecstasy. Surprisingly this video was uploaded 1 hour back. Thank you Swamiji and Thank GOD.
Law of attraction is illusion
Everything happens according to your previous birth karma
Not law of attraction
omg same thing is happened with me i had a debate upon bhakti yoga and i was desperately searching for bhakti yoga by swami ji and boom next day in came into my youtube suggestion and all my doubts were
cleared .
I thought the same and started paying attention a few years ago after noticing that it was happening too often to be coincidence. There are no coincidences, the mind (thoughts) prompts us into action to get what it desires. The result depends on other factors like past karma which is 100% accurate, plus time, place and circumstances. Therefore, the effort depends on us but the result is not in our hands. Hence, it is important to have pure thoughts because bad will always be bad and good is always good. 🙏🏼❤️💕
@Abhishek Sharma same happened to me. I was wondering if Swamiji has a lecture on karma yoga while I was listening to an audio book of Gita.
All praise to the Most High!
The Shiva Sutras say "To give is Self-knowledge." If we can make everything sadhana then we are closer to the truth. Everything we do is the dance of Shiva. We as in our ego is not the doer but the higher self does all things through us. What we do for others we do for consciousness itself. Lessening the suffering of our circle influence lessens the suffering of all.
Lord speaks through him. Such a learned and enlightened saint.
Steps of Karma Yoga:
1. Renunciation of result (Phala Tyaga)
2. Renunciation of work (Karma Tyaga)
3. Renunciation of doership (Kartitwa Tyaga)
[Work and Worship
Work as Worship
Work is Worship]
🙏
Thank you for summarising
Thank you . Lots of love
Can you explain karma tyaga and kartitwa tyaga ?
Thank you so much
স্বামীজী we are blessed to have you digitally atleast.. will be even more blessed to see you in India when you come.. প্রনাম..🙏
Pranams swamiji
🙏🙏
yes
The most comments here are,, Hail Swamiji.
The realisation is to understand what he says, he doesn't recognition, his words needs your understanding.
Om Tat Sat.
True😁
Very right
1:08:08
This is how this monk keep people glued. I wish I can meet him oneday.
He is in NY Vedanta Society. I watch his videos a lot and I really find them so insightful, So I went to attend an in-person lecture. He is amazing!
you watched it till the end? me too! keep watching..
@@exploringconsciousness8550 ah so blessed of you. I Have been to Belur math thrice. But haven't been initiated yet 😭
Vedanta is nice but my heart only wants Sarada ma and Sri RK.
@@rohitrohan2009 yes you too. We are a family. Oh wait there's only me. ❤️
Me too... Hope in this life 🙏
I am a Christian who profits greatly from your lectures. Thank you for sharing them online! I aim to improve my selflessness and to keep reminding myself of the fact that I am not my body but a manifestation of God.
@Pee Poo Poo Pee God is One, yes, we are differents but we are One in heart of God. Separation is duality, be One Beloved sister.
Peace, Love. Jai Nirguna Brahman ki Jai
Thanks to technology I can listen to this enlightened man
so true, thanks to Brahman / Shiva, which is you
"If my experience is due to my karma, how do you reconcile it with the fact that God is the doer?" - thanks to the gentleman who asked this question, I've had the same doubt for a long time. Of course, Swami's explanation was amazing too.
God was the doer , but the false ego created , thought is was doing and then all the misery started . This is ignorance thinking we are i , me , ego but in reality we are soul which is above any associations .
This was explanation from what my little brain could understand from non duality by ramana maharashi
Unbelievable lecturer and speaker (not literally, but as in I believe his every word:))... beautiful.
Yes
Last 2 minutes are amazing..
You bought us to higher Consciousness Swamiji..👏👏
I bow to your feet 🙏🙏
Love you Swami. He is so articulate and down-to-earth.
A treasure trove of higher knowledge.

মহারাজ আপনার কথা গুলো শুনতে ও মানতে খুব ভালো লাগে ... চেষ্টা করি করার .... এক অদ্ভুত অনুভূতি হয় .... প্রণাম নেবেন 🙏
Deepest gratitude to Vedanta NY for uploading this video based on Karmayoga so profoundly explained by Revered Swamiji 🙏🙏

Whoa 😮, RUclips recommended your video to me and I'm so grateful. Thank you very much, I'm understanding myself better.
Jai shree Krishna hari om sharanam
🙏 he is the vivekananda of this era🙏
Such an endearing swamiji. No haughtiness, no ego, sense of humour! As if he is so close to me.
Hey thakur! in desperate hours of need. Hold my hand. Help me pass through this vast ocean of maya and suffering. Keep my undivided focus in Brahman and strengthen my will against all temptations...
Thank you for sharing the knowledge freely in youtube. I am blessed to listen to this
Thank you for the upload. It is poignant to talk about Karma Yoga right now. I had thought of karma yoga as focus on examining our mind as we do actions, and over time, as the inner focus increases, action moves away from “what’s in it for me” to “how can I make this action as a tool for self awareness”, this slowly de-linking like or dislike from action. But as Swamiji explains toward the end, that is only one level! There is more to travel on this road!
Through proper meditation and yoga we can neutralize our karma... we can fix our psychological problems and misconceptions... and can become perfectly healthy and happy... dream big... you can do it...😇😇
1:03:22 Is my favorite part:
1st Level of Karma Yoga (phala tyaga): Renunciation of the result. I am doing the work for the worship of the lord. Work AND Worship.
2nd Level of Karma Yoga (karma tyaga): Renunciation of the work itself. Having no choice in the type of work. Work AS Worship.
3rd Level of Karma (kartrtva tyaga): Renunciation of the self. I am not the do-er. All is done by nature. God does everything through nature. Work IS Worship.
Kaliyuga’ s Gnyani. A great enlightened Soul 🙏🙏🌺. Ultimate Pranams Maharaj🙏🙏🙏
Pranam 🙏. I am in the making of a monk and i had so many queries about myself ..Thank you so much for this beautiful share .Immense gratitude.🙏😊
Thank you. The result of Gourio Vaishnava saying only Bhakti is real, causing some of their devotees causing extreme anarthas. And Gauria Vaishna is keeping their mouth shut.
As long as you don't go, no one else would leave the room, its Gyan Prasad, so holy so fine so articulated!!
Pranam Swamiji🙏
I
Swami ji I have benefitted a great deal from your great discourses on utube...It feels so heartening how you explain advata vedanta and other aspects of Hinduism ...
I wonder how distant it is from the Hinduism on the street......
And I also wonder how come you didn't mention Sikhism in today's discourse.....they have played a great role in India's Karmic history... Your contribution is invaluable....
Swamiji🙏
Pranams, Swamiji.
I totally agree - listening to Swami SarvaPriyanada and trying to change my life is the best gift I have ever sought and found - after more than 70 years - I truly believe I have found joy !
Thank you so much for this clear and analytical knowledge on Karma Yoga Poojya Swamiji !🙏🙏🌹

Wow❤
Just wow😮
I feel so blessed to witness these talks by Swamiji 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks to Swamiji, Swami Vivekananda for establishing this organisation thats doing such a noble work🙏
Pranam Maharaj .
In the third or fourth listening I could get the satisfaction of being introduced to karm yoga . Outstanding vedantic wisdom wisdom expressed by Swami ji in an astounding way . Well really feel proud of being Indian and also an inheritor this great legacy of sanatan dharma, it's thought, transmission process, vedic practices and prophecies. Indians , since ancient ages have flair for discourses, debates and leaning. Very rich tradition amongst men and women, be it rishi Marichi, vashishtha or yadnyawalka or Gargi or Maitreyi .
This Swami Sarvpriyananda is the latest flower on this ever blooming tree of this great vedantic tradition ! Let's listen to him, follow him , understand him and be a Atman or Brahman ourselves ...
🙏🙏 Om Shanti Shanti Shanti 🙏🙏
After the birth of the body, we identify ourselves with it and spend the entire life time fulfilling the needs of the body and everything associated with it. This identification constricts our being and we become selfish. Taking up all the work that comes to us in our daily life and doing it with an attitude of service to God, all the while being unaffected by the outcome is a sure way to transcend constriction and selfishness. Pranaams Swami!
Thank you so much 🌷
Thank you Vedanta.
Sir, do write some books too, in both hindi and english so that it reaches masses.. Each word flowing out of your mouth is like nectar and is much needed in times when we are going crazy chasing pleasures of samsara.
"Complete works of Swami Vivekananda" has everything in it.
I was pleasantly surprised to see him teaching the exact thing I’m learning internally from my Guru, Sri Sathya Sai Baba. “ Unravel the Mysteries of the Body Mind Complex.” www.amazon.com/dp/B07LD3XSLS/Vashtie_Ramnath
Happiness is our natural state of mind, yet it seems difficult to capture, except for tiny fleeting moments. Why does it keep deluding us? What is the secret? What is this mystery?
Here is a peek of my inquiries leading to the discovery of the greatest TRUTH. You are welcome to read, explore and apply the same concepts to answer your own questions. Simply follow the link and click on the cover to open the book. It is also available for free download from Amazon.
My heartfelt gratitude to Swami for clearing ALL my doubts and guiding me on this wonderful path of “The Inner Journey.” Have fun and enjoy your journey as well! 🙏🏼❤️💕
Thank you Maharaj jee
Joy maa🌺🙏🌺
Joy gurudev🌺🙏🌺
Roses are red, Violets are blue, Rosogulla is sweet, And Swami Sarvapriyananda ji we all love you 😇😇.
Thanks 🙏 Pranam
Good morning Swami I'm from Nepal
I'm fascinating about spiritual, I'm knowing myself more and I'm feeling I'm near by ultimate truth
That's is brahman
It's means infinite. We can't define by our Language our words it's beyond our thinking
Really thanks too you to explain quite crystal clearly
Thank you for this precious Gyan
Swamiji, this time I have a practical experience of the great difficulty in performing selfless service as advised in Karma Yoga. In this lock-down period I did some little charity to some poor families in my locality and tried to do it quietly so that no one gets the opportunity to praise my deeds and thereby inflate my ego. However, sometime later, my ego was dying for some kind of recognition and patting on my back although I tried hard to suppress it. May Sri Ramakrishna make me stick to the path of true Karma Yoga.
“The Man who works for others, without any selfish motive, actually does good to himself.” -Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa . So that means you or your 'ego' has nothing to worry nor anything to seek as you have already been given something higher than fickle recognition :)
Yes, I " understand" what actually you mean. But this is what is making you. At a much later stage in your life, you will realise you have made yourself. Your inner strength -- athma bhalam -- would have grown so much, you will be at, in , peace within and without.
An eye opener!
A Great Lecture by Swami Ji 👌💐
Feel blessed. Pranam.
Thank you, dear Swamiji
@46:22 EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH!! LOVE YOUR TEACHING!!
Pranam Guruji
The last 3 stages of karma reminded me of KARMA YOGA:CHAPTER-7 FREEDOM (by Swami VEVIKANANDA )
That we are not the does , and reminded an example by Swami chinmayanand of arjun and his target example 🙌🙌
I am so grateful 🙏🏾 🙏🏾
प्रणाम स्वामीजी !
Interesting conversation on Karma Yoga, thank you so much Swami Sarvapriyananda.
This is the way Sanatan works. Sanatan is for everyone it's not just for Hindus. In the beginning, only exiting religion is this which later created all India origin religions. If you look closely all the Indian origin religions are more or less the same. They all speak loudly If you want to attain Moksha or Salvation do meditation or be a selfless person.
Karma Yoga is the way for most of us working people in modern day.
सश्रद्ध प्यारभरा प्रणाम स्वामी 🙏🙏🙏 This Earth is a beautiful place because of ye all special children of Sri Thakur= a form of HIS PALPABLE blessings...
Very very grateful for this. Take care and eat well...
People, please ensure he is looked after lovingly...least we do the same as we did to dear Swamiji... please feed him with nutritious food with lots of love🙏🙏
Genuine lectures
