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

He is a gem of indian philosophy
Very practical, bhakti, yogic, advaidic, teaching. ❤

Both the question and the explnaation, are awesome & very profound. Gratitude and Pranams
After listening him for 5 years… I feel this can be a breakthrough…..
😂
The yogic path of silencing the mind is what worked for me. Only silencing the mind is not something you can do. It slows down on its own, like a spinning top eventually comes to rest.
Sarvapriyananda is the best teacher. Such enthusiasm, amusing stories and very well spoken teachings.
I like how this dude explains stuff.
Your explanations are just brilliant. The movie analogy was so perfect !
Incredible description of the mind - as in the little child watching a movie and images flickering across the screen, where the screen can't be seen or realised until the movie is turned off and only then is the nature of the screen is seen. I've never heard this before, but I found this description incredible!
He has answers of all questions on spirituality..
'' Only when you have two you have samsara..when you have no two, you have no samsara. Your free.'' Profound.
I have no idea why, but this teaching is so beautiful that it has brought tears to my eyes. I guess when the heart hears Truth it knows without question and my tears are an expression of That! Such beauty! 🥲 💮
Yes! 🙏🏻 Thank you for sharing that
I cant remember when I cried last .. but I cried at multiple moments in this video and I do not know why
@@ChubbywubbysandwichI think that when we allow the heart to open, we touch something much deeper and truer than anything our thoughts or rational mind can understand. We then express this pure joy and the tears flow. To open to Truth is beautiful, isn't it?
There are more teachings of this nature by om namah Sri bhagavate ramana maharshi and om namo Sri bhagavate nisagadatta maharaj and Sri swami annamalai and Sri mooji baba all on you tube mooji has alot of meditations on RUclips also om namo Sri bhagavate pounjaji papaji also many satsangs you may find helpful Hooe this helps you, namaste 🙏 let there be peace let there be love for all beings universal om 🕉 shanti shanti shanti 🕉 🙏

What a intriguing question and what a great answer. I am really indebted to Swamiji for giving so much of clarity in my spiritual progress
Thank you for kindly guidance. Finally properly understood the reason for endeavor to be free from ignorance.
The same ignorance made me almost give up and live as it was given.
Great respect for his knowledge and ease with which he explains.
The movie screen analogy caught me

It is not about silencing mind but liberating it 🙏

Thank you Swamiji 🙏 you made it so simple to understand
Wow.. wata explanation.. cleared my doubts..
So wonderfully explained..
Wonderful
My problem is that I’m not comfortable with silence, I always have to have some music or some noise around me, but I want to learn how to be comfortable with silence and take a step towards being conscious.
When the outward stimulations stop ..there is a natural inclination to go inward n that is scary for most people because we have gotten disconnected with ourselves in the daily humdrums of life n when we are in silence our deepest thoughts come to the surface...things that we may not want to confront coz they make us uneasy n we don't like being in an uneasy state so we simply shrug off the silence n go back to the noisy world.
So you may start with baby steps n consciously set aside say 2 mins to simply be !! Just sit n let thoughts come ...let them flow n don't get stuck on one thought...simply let it come n then go ...if you do find yourself stuck in a thought ...the moment you realise ..release the thought n go back to observing whatever is coming up ...the more you are aware of what's flowing ...the more you will just be !!! Observe the emotions that arise with the thoughts n let them pass too . By this exercise you are letting the mind do what it's meant to do but at the same time you, the being, the awareness , are not getting affected by what the mind does .
If you are uncomfortable with silencing ths mind then read and try to realize mandukya upanishad's saying.
Just start slow with a little at a time. Practice makes perfect 👍
Wow, thank you all so much for such encouraging words.
@@praman2974 alright thank you sm, I will start with 2 minutes of silence and let’s my thoughts flow in. It’s definitely easier said than done, but I want to give it a try
Amazing explanation 🙏🏽🙏🏽👍
I do have great respect for a tradition that can teach with a smile and openmindness...
Beautiful pranam Maharaj ji
🙏 pronam Swamiji 🙏
প্রণাম মহারাজ 🌹🙏🙏🙏🌹
By far the most knowledgeable guru!!
What is good about him, he listens patiently to the question regardless of how long they are as in this case & responds specific to the query. I have seen several others who chose to talk what they want and know rather than responding to the specific question
Swamiji you have helped me so much as i am too a combination of all 3 paths, basically a child of God with great attachment emotionally to Divine parents in all forms ....trying to get knowledge through study of Geetha Upanishads etc also doing japa meditation and trying for stillness of mind. Need your blessings in my march ahead. 🙏🙏🙏🕉️🌺
This is such a profound speech. This answered all my questions regarding nirvana. Models are many , final destination is the same.
Very well explained to an ordinary family person who has actually never been exposed to such deep spiritual experiences but he can understand the nuances of spirituality by listening to this talk. PRANAM. Thanks Swami ji.
Hari Om Maharaj ji 🙏🙏🙏
I have been listening him for 5 years and he has changed my perception about God
Very nicely explained in simple words and analogies.🙏
Excellent explaination
Pranam
Wonderful 🎉❤
Pranam swami ji
🙏🙏🏻🌺🌻🌺Pronams,deepest Pronams, Maa Anandamoyee..Pronams Rev.Maharajji.For me,blessings is the only path, O,Mother, never ever cease from blessing this very child, so that the obstacles always trying to dissuade me help me to quicken my journey towards Realization. For my head is in inexplicable turmoil.🌻🌺🌻🙏🏻🙏
Pronams 🌷 Rev.Maharajji, Everyday l offer my gratitude to you 🙏 Bless me.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Silence is experienced sometimes n a desire to deep down within come ,but if I continue I feel Silence. But l am unable to co ntinue feel like lying down. But I have to go n react with them bcz of my health n age..
I don't know what should do it.
Am l too ambitious?
Am I endangering myself,remember Holy Mother 's warning about seekers going mad bcz of overenthusiasm.Lead Your sure n kindly light, O Mother, I await .pronams Rev.Maharajji.For 1🙏🙏🙏
Insane ❤ explanation, that I needed, it's been years since I lived in fear hearing all the stillness, samadhi... Stop the mind... teaching and freaked like anything.
Now your explanation, brought some clarity today. I know what I need to work on. With knowledge is also possible, it is a relaxation.
Now, whatever that shortens the journey.. I can do it without fear of losing everything.
super like...thank you
❤ so deep. 🪔
🙏Thankful
I needed this talk Swamiji 🙏🏻❤️🔥 when I was a young boy, i experienced the death of a brother. One day while I was crying, I was suddenly torn down the middle by what I'm guessing now was the Kundalini within starting to move. Then I was overcome by "the holy spirit" (raised Christian) which was this feeling of pure bliss and I knew that to be my real Self.
I wouldn't say my mind stopped - but my perspective shifted completely. I understood that I was actually the observer of this imagined person who happened to be suffering. I literally saw myself in the room, and the room itself, and I was all of it. I used to be able to slip in and out of this state at will. Was this technically sabija samadhi?
Poojya Swamiji Pranams!! Swamiji, there is a state of mind where it goes blank. There is no thought working in the mind nor anything like enlightenment happening. It happens automatically just like that without any efforts. It appears to be a biologically buit in traint/state. After listening to all the spiritual discourses we find we are not where we were nor reached where we should be.
🙏🙏PRANAAM MAHARAJ
Matchless articulation of a brilliant question....!
Such profound deliberation and insightful clarification perhaps become possible only when the preceptor is self-realized !
The simile of cinema and screen seem to be the best to think of ! If the mind can be consciously detached from the objects of distraction or delusion following any branch of 'Yoga' (or any other methods whatsoever) expounded in the scriptures like 'Rajyoga' or 'Kriyayoga' for example, it can be zeroed in on the absolute being ! Once this sublime state is achieved, the mind that is accustomed to get busy in worldly affairs, begins to experience the ineffable truth, inexpressible ever new joy and can decisively distinguish between the 'REAL' and 'UNREAL' .
Respectful salutations to revered Swami Sarvapriyanandaji maharaj 🙏🏻💐
Mind and brain are two different things. Its possible to empty the mind. But brain runs as long as it lasts.
Muito esclarecedor.
Ram Ram ❤
WOUNDERFUL!!!!
❤ the clarity! Very convincing ... what Swamiji is saying about once you EXPERIENCE the reality beyond mind, the further experiences of the world, mind etc cease to be obstacles- this thought first struck me after listening to a few NDEs ftom some very articulate minds-- and that EXPERIENCE of a few moments is SO REAL/TRUE- that it never leaves them for a moment from that point on returning ( in most xases unwillingly !) to their physical bodies! Their entire being is so aware of that realm beyond the life on earth in physical bodies-- its what i understood all the dualities and conflicts thereof just disappear in th air!!
Now Swamiji's explanation ofcourse clarifies this further...
Thank you❤🙏
Yes, that’s so true of people who have had near-death experiences. It makes sense. How could you forget? 🙏🏻🪷
