- This is the third session of the retreat by Swami Sarvapriyananda on the Ashtavakra Gita, a classical scripture on Advaita Vedanta. The scripture is based on sage Ashtavakra and King Janaka's dialog on the nature of soul, reality and bondage and the absolute oneness of Existence and Consciousness.
I know I'm blessed because I've found advaita vedanta, truly spiritual nourishment. ashtavakra gita = freedom🙏😔
So happy as well.
Not an easy work for you to make us understand but,
You make everything so simple yet profound and joyful. Thank you very much Swamiji 🙏
Udoit.

thank you vedanta society, truly🔥🌠
With undying gratitude to Swami Sarvapriyananda. I have immensely benefited from Swamiji's excellent spiritual talks, please.
Feels like ashtavakra himself has come down as Swami Sarvapriyananda and delivered gita through his own words. Such a profound philosophy explained in such a lucid manner. Feels liberated .

Om shanti
Pranaam maharaj!
Remarkable
Thank you Swami
WOW ! What a lovely temporary moment was this which I (the awareness) was aware of listening this awakening (true self revealing) discourse from great Ashtavakra (Many thanks to him) by the mouth of Great Swami Sarvapriyananda! No words to explain that experience of awareness that I (the awareness) was/am getting aware of and hence--> Maun (Silence) !
Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
🙏🏽 Swamiji makes us aware of both, the known and the unknown.🙏🏽
Yes. Swamiji makes us aware of both known and unknown. And also aware us knower which is true self.
Its our ego which makes us to think there is a seperate world out there. When we lose this we understand what Swami is trying to say.
"Is this true or is that true?" - a good story. He explains very well 🙏
Thank you so much
Thank you Swami Ji 🙏
Radhe radhe Swamiji 🙏🙏🙏
Om Shanti, swami, this class is a great healing and a clear awakening. The great teaching is healing our wound of ignorance. Continue to spread truth 🙏
Really Beautiful!
The best lecture 👌
Sairam Swami Sarvapriyananda ji
I was watching your Ashtavakra
retreat third day session 2019
little earlier march 18 2022.
In the end you said just for
10 minutes feel just feel
you are Brahman every day.
It just clicked in an awesome
way for me and i wish to share.
I play keyboard as harmonium
as pleasure. Love to just play
swar , alaap, taane and bandish
also of hindustani classical
raags from a small book. I do have
a back ground of some of those
raagas. When i play i am in a different world all together.
Nothing to get or achieve or
become. Just Be.
What i realized listening to your
suggestion was that the different world of Inner Self is where the
raag swar playing is taking me
to and thats why i am completely
lost and absorbed in it without
any expectation or want or desire.
That is the feeling of what you
said just feel for ten minutes
every day you are Brahman.
Today i consciously stayed in that
experience. What an absolutely
awesome experience and
a new way of Nidhidhyasnam.
I feel beyond words to express
this change to a new perspective.
Thanks for that suggestion. It will be
a new page in my spiritual journey
what ever is left now. Sairam.
Thanks for sharing your experience 🙏❤️
Dis knowledge is v helpful in overcoming suffering.... 💗
It is very good mediation method that desires arises in consciousness and vanishes in consciousness, still consciousness remains unchanged.
Birth comes,health comes,name comes,fame comes consciousness does not increased by it.Similarly old age comes,dieses comes,dishonour comes loneliness comes consciousness does not decrease thereby.
We are that consciousness. Our true nature remains untouched by the things happening in our little personal life
Beautiful and simple explanation of such a profound subject!
Namaskaram Guru 🙏 🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏
🙏💜💫
🙏🏼🙏🏼
39:00 How bold! The verse! California immortality business cryopreservation etc ...
Consciousness (awareness) is the absolute truth which is present in the waking, dreaming and deep sleep states.
You're not seeing the white blur of a napkin. You're seeing light reflecting off of a thing that your mind says is a napkin.
Avadutha Gita:
I am indeed that pure consciousness. Oh blessed one, oh beloved consciousness how am I to bow down the Self in my self. In what methods is this to be performed; for only Self is?
...and along comes Bhakti based in Advaita (non-duality hidden behind the veil of a so called dualistic construct) in an ecstatic celebration on the realisation of the Self
What madness it is to preserve the body..As long as the body is living, we will strive for happiness. The opposite polarity of unhappiness will follow. This is Nature's Rule. Budha is right.
Excellent
what can I say about Swamiji, he has assimilated all of Vedanta philosophy and explains it to us in such a lucid way🙏🏻
Pranam Swamiji. Trying to understand slowly.putting into practice will be a blessing.

WOW 🙏💓🙏💓🙏💓🙏💓🙏
28:44 saved this bc it made me laugh. Thank you swami and the Vedanta Society, I appreciate you sharing these.
Nice...
EMI : Empty, Momentary, Impermanent
19:35 shortcut: believe you're already enlightened and behave accordingly
42:03 I'll accomplish everything I want, what has the body got to do with it, I am AWARENESS ITSELF!
39:06 God is only giving us this lecture!!!!!! (Just look at what the mind thinks)
25:02 mahavakya! Jnana Swaroopa Bhagavan Atma! Unity of Jiva and Iswara
42:39 so many bodies and minds fluctuate and come and go all is matter the Reality of all these people is Awareness which does not die only the matter dies... happiness and suffering is all matter ... fear of death (Denial of Death by Ernst Becker)
Advaita Vedenta is the answer to our deepest and most sort after question, what am ?
What am I?
50:02 in You the infinite, edgeless, boundaryless ocean of Awareness, the universe is like a wave.
The ego knows itself by way of memories. Otherwise ego would have been a stranger to itself always.
47:34 even when we dream there is a known world and unknown world! All potentiality and actuality is contained in the mind. Similarly, here it's literally true!
What is difference between mind and awareness...we may call awareness as mind. We do not know the boundaries of mind. How can we limit mind to thoughts, memories etc.
This needs clarity...
Mind is impermanent and thus not Consciousness which is permanent.
How to realise that?
Believe vs realisation !!
Maharaj dear, whic is easier fr us ? .... is it :- 'perceived on Conscious' ness' or 'perceived in & by Consciousness ' ?
41:00 OBJECTS ARE EMPTY ... if you hold on to an object, you will be trapped ... Swamiji so lovingly says NEVER DO THAT
Where is the second session? Please post it.
37:02 Swami Tapasyanandaji said Buddhism is a serious religion. Body comes stays and goes. Awareness is always aware ...
41:55 every night when I'm dreaming the body disappears and no problem because it wasn't real ... BOLDNESS STRENGTH ... I gain nothing I lose nothing be fearless ... BUT ONLY IF I KNOW MYSELF AS CONSCIOUSNESS ITSELF!!!!
Swami ji pranam the subtle body survives the death of physical body then where does it stay til it gets another body and how to relate it to the previous life
The wave "returns" to the ocean.
Swami gi I am listening your videos can I study ashta vakra gita on line by you
17:49 The grand verse!!!
39:15 if my body breaks by slamming a pole accidentally, its nothing different from accidentally breaking a cup by slipping on a wall. YOU ARE ALREADY IMMORTAL!!!
Pranam Guruji,
I have grasped your point on Consciousness,
But what is the purpose of body & what is the purpose of consciousness
Why is there water & waves...
There must be purpose of object & consciousness.
There is no purpose you have to make up one for yourself, when you are God what is the use of a purpose, be
50:04 by fame I am not increased, by suffering I am not decreased.
45:00 The great verse!!!!! Next verse!!!!
41:49 let it live for eons or let it die today!
46:05 okay "WHAT IS THE LIMIT OF YOUR AWARENESS?"
I am Brahman!
40:08 my body wants to drink milk or eat cookie, it's like a new car wanting to get gas, and then the body will be an insured car and then a vintage car and then rusting car
Swami one question. If consciousness present in both life and in matter. Then can we take matters also a body for incarnation? Pls clarify.
Nagaraj san mind body complex is not present in non living things thus consciousness Cannot experience itself in non living things.
Atma anatma cannot be same one in which brahman in the form of atman another which is formed by brhman but not residing as atman
Life is not needed for consciousness it exists independently with or without, in non living things it is not expressed but it exists as in a seed, dormant
Yes but why, get moksha and go beyond the limitation of a body
39:00 We are safe, we are unscathed
36:00 Buddha was not a pessimist, he was an optimistic. All of these teachings say there is a solution to these problems! Across the board all philosophies!!!!
South e kothai hoy?
32:01 how to deal with death? Verse!
58:50 Janaka "stick is mine" story hahaha
52:00
Aham brahmasmi
I am brahman
24:00 are you the body? Is body theoretical?
29:40 check by the time you're out of here ... hahahaha one present you can take from here ... go out and try it now ... YES MUST WATCH!
Why is that other guy sitting next to him? he should be sitting in the audience ...
He's the head Swami of that temple and thus up front.
33:18 Sharira (body) means "that which is continuously falling apart". We can guarantee you'll live long, not live well. Body is a pile of walking talking dead empty matter.
43:44 ah! You dont think about it, which is the real problem! Immortality projects most commonly is family or children or corporation or write a book called Denial of Death and RELIGION also "assurance that there is a God who will save us from death", ultimately RELIGION IS CORRECT, but Astavakra is a more direct approach ... all good and bad that people do is because of fear of death
55:47 The grandest verse!!!
22:00 how does mother know you're her baby hahahahaha
Delusions cleared.
Z
48:33 Bill is feisty, 95 years old, WW2 veteran, and biophysicist, doesn't buy this. The room and camera and thought experiment.
Imagine meditating on Ashtavakra Gita while high on LSD
42:18 imaginary and "real" body are equally valueless ... the AIs and science fiction and all of it as a whole are dreams within dreams within dreams... bharat uncle is also Awareness ...
1:01:01 "asamsari" is God, Iswara. Person is consciousness identified with body mind, God is consciousness identified with the entire universe. In your real nature you are neither God nor a person, you are Nirguna Brahman.
38:04 why do we bemoan the body is dying, it sounds ridiculous! It's meant to die! What else will it do, it's supposed to die ... what is it to you? YOU ARE UNSCATHED!
28:41 hahahaha nondualists drive theists wild ...
The other guy sitting there just ruined the visual..couldnt concentrate on the swami. He is really very distracting
If he didnt learn in 65 years where he should be sitting during a lecture...then what has he learnt in his life...and what can he teach others?
Try to concentrate on your growth and your evolution with your awareness. The 1st step is to let everything and everyone be. Being distracted by surroundings and being judgmental is a hindrance your mind creates.
আপনার তপস্যা আমায়বোধ গম্য করাচছেসবিনয় পরনাম
All that negativity....it's just a hindrance. Let it go. It's not the swami that annoys you. It's YOU that annoys you.
