    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.

      Mr. Vishvarupa (AKA Swami Sarvapriyānanda) is undoubtedly a VERY intelligent man, but the fact that he supports the two most pernicious institutions in the history of the earth, as well as him being an animal-abuser, says much about his true moral character:
      F.I.S.H. Paragraph 28. Feminism is the penultimate evil at present because feminism is based on the misguided assumption that women are equal to or even superior to men. Although a female can exhibit superior traits, skills, etcetera, to some men, a woman can never have AUTHORITY over a man. Truth be told, no true man would ever descend to the level of accepting counsel from any of his subordinates. A man should fully obey his appointed masters and never emasculate himself by submitting to the dictates of a female. Feminism and democracy are guaranteed to destroy society, as can be clearly seen at present.
      However, feminism will NEVER EVER be destroyed until the most pernicious institution is first destroyed:
      F.I.S.H Paragraph 26. Democracy is evil because the masses will invariably choose the murderous Barabbas over the good King Jesus. This planet is surely doomed unless the most pernicious institution ever known to man (democracy) is replaced by the only legitimate form of government (monarchy - preferably a good monarch, though even a bad king is preferable to being ruled by an elected official who can never be good). Most of the problems in human society are directly or indirectly attributable to this relatively modern phenomenon, since it is the government’s role and sacred duty to enforce the law. Just because good and bad are relative, does not imply that they do not exist. They do exist but are relative. A democrat can never be good, despite appearing so.
      One of the many sinister characteristics of democracy, communism and other evil forms of governance, is the desire for their so-called “leaders” to attempt to control or at least influence the personal lives of every single citizen.
      For example, in the wicked, decadent nation where this holy scripture was composed, The Southland (or Australia as it is known in the Latin tongue), the demonic government tries and largely succeeds in controlling the rights of parents to properly raise, discipline and punish their children according to their own morals, limiting legitimate powers an employer has over his servants, persecuting religious leaders (even to imprisonment and death, believe it or not) and even trying to influence what people eat and wear. Not that a government shouldn’t control what its citizens wear in public, but it should ensure that they are modestly dressed, which is hardly the case in Australia and similar nations. Basically, the worst of the democratic governments promote or at least permit all things contrary to God’s perfect and pure will such as adultery, fornication, prostitution, pornography, homosexuality, gambling (even running lotteries themselves), illegitimate abortion of poor innocent unborn children, irreligion, drug addiction, disrespect for authority and promoting materialism and ignorance via a powerful network of institutions of miseducation (so-called “schools, colleges and universities”).
      Let it be known however - democracy can not and will not endure. The truth shall triumph!
      Democracy is only acceptable within large business corporations, where the shareholders must vote on who will be the company bosses and other matters.

    Swamiji talks about a philosopher, who is not a particularly good person, but has amazing insights...
    Information becomes knowledge only when internalised, n put in practice with determination n self restraint,
    Failing internalisation, it remains as a piece of information, born from some excitatory or dissociative state of mind, it's short-lived.
    If u talk about monks, not following disciplines themselves, those words r of no value.
    Value of monastic thoughts lies in innumerable sacrifices they make every day in their choices for whole life n for generations together.
    It's practice what u preach, others can fool some people many times, many people sometimes, but not all people all times...

    Now, look at his face while performing the genuine wonder as facing the naked fact of pure existence appearing as everything, acknowledging everything, including yourself is nothing but that pure existence itself 😊 . I don´t know what Buddhists mean by emptiness nor I´m interested in going into it but in indian tradition they have a name for this, they call it Shakti tattva, a level of pure and infinite bliss, as it holds the power in which the absolute can experience the joy of its own existence. It is at this point where all sense of individuality and separation gets lost and where we can take a step back with fear because we have reached this point with a sense of being a separated individual that is not enough feeble and exhausted as to be embraced by this Shakti that will drive us to the pure self, brahman, shiva or whatever, instead we will be sent back to go on without our practice as ordinary, simple human beings because this is what we are so long as individuality and separation remains, you can call yourself a monk, a shadak, a spiritual seeker or whatever you like to, difference is that now something in you knows that there is some truth in what the teachings and scriptures say ... and that there is a price to pay for it.

      Fear of losing ones individuality is an illusion. Assuming that you will become God is also an illusion. The ego will never replace God. So simply be content as you are, and you'll learn the value of your being.

    "I am neither conceivable, nor perceivable!", Nisargadatta Maharaj. Things with name and form don't really exist. They just appear temporarily. Does a potato chip exist? Eat it and let me know. The limitless and changeless source of all things in which things appear alone exists. And you are that. You can say that nothing which appears is you, or you can say everything which appears is you. But to believe that you are anything in particular which appears is incorrect. You weren't born so you can't die. You are reality itself. Congratulations!

      All the greatest of saints came to the conclusion that there is no "i"... Meister Eckhart, Nisigardata, Ramana Marhashi, St Theresa of Avila, Shankara, Ramakrishna and so many others.
      Advaita can take you to this realization.
      There's an *invisible impulse* that claims ownership of all thoughts that arise in the mind. If you can slowly break this impulse by simple awareness of it, you will see all thoughts just arise and die spontaneously.
      And in fact you have nothing to do with them. You will find yourself to actually be the luminous space or light in which these thoughts rise and fall - and they will no longer bind you to this body and mind.
      Thoughts will still happen but you will see yourself as the light in which they rise and fall. Notice "you" are there whether there are thoughts or not. You are this light. This awareness. This pure conciousness. Literally.
      You go on forever. In this body and beyond this body.

    oneness is uniqueness..! yes there are many "things" living and non-living but each one is unique, no two person is the same, never..! no two chairs are the same, no two trees are the same, even though they seem alike... no one can find two individual "thing" being the same... each and every existent in its very nature is "one".... if you experience oneness in yourself you can jump to the great "Oneness" that operates as a fundamental "phemonenon"...

    Pranam Swamiji,
    We all are brahman, when we'll leave this body this energy, this source, will Or will not take a different form. Then how does vedant so surely tells us, when we know our true self, it is our last birth, who has seen themselves as being born or not????? Please Swamiji, please answer this query.

    I fail to see the ground of the question itself. A rule in grammar has no bearing on outer, objective reality. Just because something has to be true in grammar and linguistics does not mean it has to be true for objects or existence.
