Seeing Swamiji speaking is happiness itself
True ! Agreed 🙏
Happiness is the absence of striving for happiness
Once one attains Brahmananda a realization of (the bliss within) which we are, there is no return.
That one doesn’t repeat the cycle of birth and return.
@@Youmatter2boo i always feel that rebirth depends solely on human will. Swami vivekananda said many times that he will come back and he came back again and again also we can see sadguru too.
@@tripurarisiddartha3039 thank you for clarifying
Man if we could expand this awareness of the unity of all the spiritual traditions and paths- if Christians would realize we have nothing to fear from assimilating the wisdom of Vedanta, with our Muslim brothers and all the rest of the varieties and mystical approaches, men who recognize life as more than material - imagine how much less the veil of maya will oppress the innocent and subvert the well-intentioned! Om!

another inspiring talk by Swami ji
Beautifully explained Swami ji. HAPPINESS can't be found elsewhere but within us.
You are so inspiring a person. You will definitely awaken the west from it's slumber.Hari om
Brilliant and so inspiring Swamiji , Pranams !
I know it's true because I've seen it. I gained strength by giving away something I loved and I felt bliss and the end of my suffering. Then I saw the value of giving away things of greater and greater worldly value, until I saw the ultimate value. OM
The seeking for the personal/individual experience of "bliss" shows how little we care for the suffering world.
For me
I am better able to ENGAGE the suffering only after my own version of suffering is managed.

Thank you swamiji.
Tku so much for everything. I AM AWARE I AM LOVE,COMPASSION AND PEACE..
According to Vedantic view the foundation of morals lies in the metaphysical fact of the unity of all beings in the universal Self Ethics this has not only utilitarian value but a philosophical support and metaphysical justification
Thank you swamiji. Beautiful explanation of the vedanta.
According to Vedantasara After realisation humility and other attributes which are steps to the attainment of knowledge as also such virtues as non injury etc persist like so many ornaments
Excellent !!!
Many thanks.
I'm blissed
Excellent Speech by Swami Ji. Pronam.
Swami jee speaks more from books than experience so sound should come from soul than mind.The real bliss comes when heart voice touches the soul of others.
I.J MALHOTRA ..
sir u study whatever is there in upanishat and understand and give a talk on that and upload it to utube...

Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for man... it is the Lord Christ whom you serve. Colossians 3:23,24

J Ramkrishna. J swamiji. J Maa. J swami Sarvpriyananda
Our nature is Pure Bliss
🙏🙏🙏🙏 Pranam Swamiji
Why do we exist in such limited form only to find infinite within us
The unknown scares me, no? I know I'm Bramhan I know I am eternal...sut chit ananda...I know they veil of Maya is upon all I experience in this "world" and that within all that this world holds, flows, this that I am. However I wonder what it will be like after the body I experience this life through dies, and the cycle is broken so I don't come forth in a new one.
You'll realise you don't need a body to be fully what you are.
Pranaam swamiji.
Pranamam swamiji
Very very nice👍👏🌹.
Jai Sri Ramakrishna
why did we fall into this wordly experience in the first place? what made us forget our truth?
The answer is the fallen state of Man in Sin. Through the salvation of Jesus Christ and dwell in Christ one can experience the utmost Bliss in this Life itself. This Life is called Zoe Life (God kind of Life )
@@johnraveendharan3110 Though I may differ from you in my understanding, I do appreciate the place in you from which your answer arises. You are doing your best to help your fellow man according to your understanding. I find no fault in you for having a different understanding and judge you not. From the Brahma Sutras (I apologize that I can't cite chapter and verse): "God is, of his own nature, inexpressible love." My friend, there is no definitive answer to the question you answered which could possibly satisfy and make sense to all minds. Despite that, I appreciate the pure space your answer came from, and I, too, love Christ, though not with perfection, due to the influence of brain, sense organs, and chaotic world upon my mind and nervous system.
Look for the chapter 2 verses ( shlokas) 62 , 63 in Bhagwat Gita.
We didn't fall into this worldly ignorance. There's no concept of 'original sin' in veda/vedanta or other eastern religions. On the contrary, vedanta says we have God within or rather we're a part of God(the eternal, consciousness, bliss). And our goal is to realise that eternal consciousness and bliss (God). Here 'we' doesn't mean your body/personality etc. but our soul.
If you are asking Since when am I taking birth ? And when was birth of my soul/atma? Answer according to vedanta is from very beginning. Rather there was no beginning nor there will be an end for souls. Your soul is eternal, a part of God. You're here from very beginning. Your soul isn't different from rest of the souls. For understanding, Think of Your soul and other souls you see around you as individual waves in the ocean(God/brahman). As Waves comes and goes in the ocean. So do All souls in Brahman/God. When we realise that we are part of God(not just in intellectual sense) we return to that Brahman (the wave --> ocean).
Jai guru

24:40 Swami Sarvapriyananda ji Maharaj's own story.
लोक विषय शरीर -- तीन पूर्वशर्त आनन्दके लिए
I have Geetapress Gorakhpur copy of Taittiriya Upanishad but couldn't find the verse mentioned by Swamiji. Can anyone help?
Is there a significance for the fact that Surya was Karna's father (beside the obvious of karma from his previous birth) Karna's father could have been another deity , but right the one that is the Sun which provides for our fire element which is strongly related to a certain aspect of the mind ... how does one insights into this? why is it that the other 5 brothers from other 5 deities are together but this one son of Surya turns out to get stranded in the other side , what's beyond these facts?
Swami Jee is it possible to buy a cd on the Koshas and this Bliss video you explain so eloquently I love all your speeches x Namaste
Mata ji. where are you from?
So let me know if I am getting this right? The real happiness is not fulfilment of desire but the absence of it?
Happiness is when there is no desire and no absence of desire.
When you realise all is one and you are that, that is tremendous happiness and joy. It comes with the realisation that believing you were incompleet and that fullfilmemt could be found in the aqusition of objects (including mental things), was in reality the reason for all your suffering.
But don't come now and try to not to desire - that is only more desire! The illusoriness of the separate self has to be seen through, then desire weil drop away by itself. 😘
To have desire is to feel that you are incomplete and unfulfilled. When the desire is acted upon, fulfillment is gained and desire vanishes for a time. The ultimate source of our capacity to feel pleasure, fulfillment, and happiness, is the bliss that lies hidden in our very nature. In my opinion, overall, trying to kill desire backfires and causes agitation. That does not mean I endorse acting on every desire. The gunas, for the VAST majority of us, are not a force we can wrestle to the ground and choke to death. Rejecting all desires, including all sensual desires, is inadvisable. For one to chase after an endless stream of finite fulfillments without knowing about the fulfillment in Spirit is very unfortunate. I myself am still trying to learn how to balance these two truths (truths to me, anyway).
My understanding from Swamijis lectures on Vedanta:
Ignorance of ones true nature leads to desrire and desire results in worldy or selfish activities despite acknowledging others suffering.
Advithya -> Kama -> Karma
The "pointer" is
Asathoma Sadgamaya
Thamasoma Jyothirgamaya
Mirthyoma Amrithamgamaya
From Ignornace to Knowledge ( of ones true self)
Darkness to light ( lack of clarity , blindfolded into pleasures of life ... to more responsible, caring and all loving person)
From death to immortality ( the idividual being dies, the fundamental infinte reality alone remains)
Spirituality is the need of the hour in Bengal now...dont u think u r needed here more than in USA
With all due respect, Are there no other swamis of ramkrishna order in Bengal? Why to say such thing to a soul who is on the path towards making the world a better place. The goal of Vedanta is not for a particular place or a nation its for universal love and oneness.
If we are bliss how can that bliss be the object of our experience? Eyes can't see itself similarly we are not supposed to experience us. If what we experience is just the reflection of us then that reflection is not our goal because it's unreal like the world. So if we alone exist then our existence is experienceless in reality. Isn't it so?
Like sugar is sweet we are bliss by nature. For sugar to know it is sweet we may need taste buds. But for us to know we are bliss we don't need anyother instrument to know. It is self revealing, just like a sun shine. The taste of sugar cannot be ascertained for sure without tasting it but the sweetness which we experience cannot be possibly come out from anything other than sugar. similarly we may not ascertain bliss for sure but the fact it reveals itself cannot come from anything other than us.

Besides karma yoga ,Bhakti yoga , Gyana yoga and detachment with only good intentions what other way is there to merge with the infinite / attain moksha ??is becoming a monk a short cut to moksha ?
By Salvation of Jesus Christ. Experiencing his Love and Amazing Grace will lead you towards eternal blissful Life (Zoe Life) even in this world.
Raveendharan SJ You are conjecturing the future whereas Lord Krishna shows the path to Sukham Uttamam right here in this life. And validated by thousands of Yogis throughout history.
Nobody can validate Christ’s eternal life - you know why right?
why do we have to find infinite from finite... why are we not infinitly happy from birth???
rabi shrestha cos you're here for self realization and to merge with the infinite . You can't reach college without going through the classes of school / various lives to teach us karmic lessons and balancing our karmas / repaying your bad karmas and purifying your soul which you has gathered impurity through the worldly births .
maya.
Remember when we were children we used to play hide and seek..we had to seek the hidden one, even it was pain to do..but the whole thing was fun right?? Similarly we are in this great sport which is so engaging that we forgot even our real selves somehow...
Swamiji I have a question.
please answer
you have been saying in most lectures ' तत् त्वम् असि '
so if Vedanta says that we are God, god can't be seen, then what is the logic behind मूर्ति पूजा if we are god and everything is God?
why monks worship idols if they already know that they are Brahman?
GOD (Brahman) is nirakar (form less) in Paramarthik Satya (Causation Reality)
In Vyabaharik Satya (Transaction Reality) GOD is sakar (with Form).
So everybody(including monks) can worship GOD in any form in Transaction sense.
Prasanta Saha
but sir paramarthik Satya is higher reality than vyavahaarik satya
so why follow vyavahaarik satya if we know that ultimately we are divine
and sir i think by worshipping idol of God, we make him limited to that idol only
isn't it contradictory to adwaitin philosophy?
there are more than 7 billion people in world (only in this world!!) and other living and non-living creatures. Most of us do not know who we are actually (because of ignorance)...
That's why we are not in higher reality....
So we need forms, faith and that's why this murti puja (idol worship)....
And GOD (Brahman) is unchanging..limitless..we can not limit GOD in idols..whatever we want we can do...that will not affect GOD(the real "I")
All your queries coming from (your intellect + reflected consciousness) and the real "YOU" is witnessing this..without being affected... :)
I am answering this from (my intellect + reflected consciousness) and the real "I" is witnessing this..without being affected... :) ... That is ADWAITA (NON-DUAL)
Prasanta Saha
yes sir I also know little bit about reflected consciousness and real I (तुर्यम्) after watching introduction of Vedanta series
and thank you for answering
i agree that most of us don't know who we are so wee need idol worship, but why do monks worship idols too?
they are well aware about the real I and they also know that Brahman is without form
why do they worship idols?
because a monk practices all 4 karma,janana,raja yoga and bhakti yoga.
16:37 swami calling me out 😅
interesting fact: the brainscans of Monks meditating equals the brainscans of People on lsd and dmt.....so yeah....bliss
A sad saint is a bad saint..
sachin tendulkar= sri ramakrishna....sarvapriyananda swamy=virat kholi :))P
Thank you Swami jee.
PRANAM SWAMIJI
