He is a true teacher. Simplifies most complicated issues. He has truly revolutionised spiritual studies My deepest regards to him.
Swami Sarvapriyananda's way of making things simple is just so priceless..
“The reality is beyond Dvaita and Advaitha!!” What a profound statement. Only unbiased mature monk like you can speak so🙏🏻🙏🏻
O don't thnk there is sth beyond Adwaita
Actually, those who claim to be non dual are dual and those who claim to be dual are non dual. Claiming that brahaman alone is real and world is appearance what else is it other than duality and claiming Narayana alone is real so much so that the devotee forgets about the world and even himself, all forms and names are of Narayana alone what else is it other than non duality.
In this Pandemic I came close to the philosophy of life . Now if I find a little free time I quietly hear Swami Sarvapriyananda's classes. Such a simple way of explanation to the core of Hindu philosophy .Thank you Maharaj .

Fantastic! How beautiful is Hinduism gives you freedom to interpret and understand everything in it. True democracy and freedom.
Spot on !!
I know but the contradictions leave me confused?
@turtle research That illustrates a bigger concern which is what if they are both wrong? It's the fundamental nature of reality being consciousness and we are each a part of that reality that I'm trying to make sense of. I get the concept but is it true is what I'm trying to get at. Some of the explanations of the 3 types of conscious/awareness experience (waking, dreaming, unconscious) are confusing to me as well as a few other things. I'm listening to the lectures anyways.
@@joelrivardguitar if you think they are wrong then you are free to discover your own path. There are other schools as well like Visistaadvait or qualified non dualism and dvait advait. In my opinion, it is impossible to know exactly the ultimate reality to the fullest but can approach it by any of the paths. All will lead us to the same destination
@@shuvamchatterjee8611 "if you think they are wrong then you are free to discover your own path."
I didn't say they are wrong. I'm saying I'm taking a critical and rational look at the concepts and trying to see how they could be true? Our consciousness is part of a larger consciousness, Brahman. I believe it is solely from brain function. So I'm trying to find some evidence to latch on to. I cannot just believe something that doesn't provide evidence? We are all Brahman, ok, there must be ways to test or demonstrate this? Why do different branches of Hinduism disagree? Is it all just what people choose to believe is true? That would be no better than any religion? Is there a point where you can see how this is true or does a point come where you just go "ok I now believe this"?
Swamiji is a superb teacher armed with an infinite patience and an immense culture .
This is once of the best talks I’ve heard to date. There was so much confusion over the two that has been lifted. Thank you!

yupp me too
If I may make one suggestion to beginners who are prepared to delve: Go with what resonates with you. Whatever you begin with, Bhagavad Gita, Brahma Sutras, Upanishads, etc., if it isn't resonating, do not pound your head against the wall trying to understand. Move to another source. Find something that resonates. And delve.
If one Upanishad bores you or is over your head, try another. Some are very different from each other.
If all of it is beyond your understanding and interest, then begin with a more popular book on the subject. Watch a video on youtube. There are many Advaitans who give talks. Buddhist talks can also help. Especially Dzogchen.
Jiddu Krishnamurti doesn't publicly espouse Advaita, but deep down, he is.
I have read lots. I use this one rule, and it has always served me well. *Go with what resonates.*
VERY SIMPLE & LUCID LANGUAGE LECTURE.TREMENDOUS AUTHORITY ON SUBJECT MATTER.DEALT DIRECTLY WITHOUT CREATING ANY DOUBTS.
SEEKING BLESSINGS FROM SWAMIJI.
JAI RAMAKRISHNA.
It's an essential talk to be watch by those who want to criticize other schools of thought , it is greatest of great talks, Swamiji great, great thanks
Glad to hear and grateful to my masters that I now understand " Achintya bhedabhed siddhanta". Beautifully harmonising both schools. Amazing!
What an outstanding discourse! Thank you Swamiji and the organisers of this event 🙏🏼🙌🏼

I cannot express how GRATEFUL I am to be able to receive such knowledge. These videos are EXTREMELY useful and changed my life. Thank you very much.
Pranam Everyone 🙏, I just overwhelmed by the depth insights of today's Swamiji's teaching, wonderful Swamiji . You are very generous to every philosophy and here it is one of the proof of a enlightened person , never get identified of particular philosophy , though Swamiji belongs directly to Advaita philosophy but he openly admits of other philosophy's contribution in his spiritual journey that is something special character of Swami Sarvapriyananda ji from other Advaitan Philosopher . Lots of love and respect for Swami ji . I see my GURU material in Swamiji only . I wish someday I will take your blessing and become your discipal. I bow down to you Swamiji . Thanks everyone 🙏❤️😊
Advaitha (non dual shiva) and Dvaitha (dual shakthi) are incomplete without each other. Sanskhya vedic metaphysics combines Advaitha and Dvaitha.
1:22:30 "তিনি অনন্ত, পথও অনন্ত" - I loved this line.
Such erudition!! Such wisdom!! Such poise!!! Not a single jarring note even while discussing competing philosophies. My humble Pranaams to Swamiji and the Ramakrishna tradition.
I cried Profusely -- We are really knowing Nothing about greatness of Upanishad -- This is simply great .. Such a profound knowledge distilled in one hour discussion -- PRANAM SWAMIJI
It's a wonderful sessions Swamiji. Thank you very much
Pranam Swamiji

Wow. What a detailed explanation of Vedanta philosophy ! Thank you Swamiji. Pranam.
Indeed a very enlightening session!
Thank you Swamiji. I really do appreciate this one!!!
Wow.
Swamiji is describing all these soooo easily, 🙏
Swami sarvapriyananda is true icon of religious harmony these days. He conveyed DaVita philosophy even better than Amogh Lila Prabhu ji. And catholic Pope is just mouth piece of religious harmony but true heart is Swami sarvapriyananda. I may sound little bit of cheap mentality in this comment but someone needs to be loud n clear in this politically influenced world. Most importantly, I'm not enlightened enough to remain neutral in all scenarios.
Are there any superstition in Hinduism like astrology, black cat crossing in ved or it is added later on
Also tell me about modern day superstition like spreading by new katha vachaks and pandits iss din yeh karlo , yaha chalejao , yeh khalo toh tumara kam hojayega like ias ban jayoge , amir hojayoge ?
@@pauldirc.. superstition does not mean fake,it is a belief,everything in hinduism is based on science andmmost of these stories have science behind it like the story of rahu ketu,but since the invasions,parents started telling their kids the stories but slowly generation after generation,they stopped explaining the science behind it and today we do many practices without knowing the meaning behind it,those are called superstitions,but it doesn't mean they're wrong,we just haven't learnt the meaning behind it,....
but yes,today some fake gurus create their own superstitions which i agree are dumb
@@dvine3488 but our parents with anything if you tell them it's from Hinduism

Swami is my relief in this stressful life, such a calming personality. Clear wisdom represents what's possible on the Advaita path.
I love your humbleness, frankness and knowledge Swamiji 🙏🙏
Great illuminating talk as always by Swamiji (the main host however came off as ill-prepared with neither displaying understanding of the broader context about the subject matter nor displaying skills of providing lucid introduction at the start...The way he was reading questions at the end left a lot to be desired ... Hopefully he is replaced in the next such session....)...Looking forward to hearing the next session

Excellent presentation by Swamy Sarvapriyanada and the questions were also excellent. I learned a lot from this one video.
I don't know but from where i am totally devoted to Swami ji.
I read his thoughts and the more I read the little i know.
Always pleased to hear Swami Sarvapriyanand 🙏
Great conversation. Thank you. Very clarifying. Jai Sri Ramakrishna! Thank you all. 💗
Excellent,perfect clarity- Hanumanjis words are the ultimate! I 🙏
Beautifully explained!!
One may remain confused even after listening to this wonderful analysis of swamiji.' Ramakrishna Kathamrita 'can dispel all confusions, I firmly believe.
10000 % true brother
No confusion. Advaitha (non dual shiva) and Dvaitha (dual shakthi) are INCOMPLETE without each other. In other words, without the immanent shiva or athma nothing exists or nothing can be perceived in its current form and without shakhti, shiva is shava (corpse). So, shiva and Shakthi always exist together for the perpetual duality cycles to happen. This is SANKHYA VEDIC metaphysics which combines ADVAITHA AND DVAITHA.
wonderful and appreciated explanations. Believe as you feel you should.
Thankyou Swami, very beautiful. Please continue to advise on books.

Dara Shikoh was the brother of Aurangzeb, Dara was interested in Adhyatma (Spirituality) from various paths including Sufi which is somehow very similar to sampradaya of Vedanta. He did the work of translating it via the translators. Interesting.
Aurangzeb mercilessly killed Darah to usurp the throne of Shahjahan! Such is the lust for power, wealth and respect for one's ego.
@@007bluesky007 Yes, that's pitiable indeed.
A most enlightening discourse .
Advaita Vedanta is quite radical. But it gives instantaneous realisation, like a spark right now. If a little contemplation done on drig drishya viveka with correct understanding. It certainly, makes one realise about his true Brahman nature. It's a very powerful technique. The beauty of Advaita Vedenta is that, even after a speck of realisation that "I am Brahman", it increases our love bhakti for Personal god, even more. When An aspirant realises that essence wise he and god is not different, how realistic would be his devotion to god. After Advaidic realisation, the dualistic practice becomes as realistic as practicing only dualism. Ohm Tat sat
U just said that after realizing "we are the essence of god" simply specifies the principles of Dvaita Vedanata. Because your just an essence of God. Not God. You are still separate and not 100%.
@@keshavsikdar9284 Not separate.Part of the same consciousness.
@@sibobratabanerjee1163 Correct.
@@keshavsikdar9284 Original Dvaitha vedanta does not say that. Only fake interpretations of Dvaitha vedanta (like in the case of Madhavacharya who did not exist) say that. Advaitha (non dual shiva) and Dvaitha (dual shakthi) are INCOMPLETE without each other. It is the reason why people say without shiva nothing exists and without shakthi, shiva is shava (corspe). Point is Shiva and Shakthi always exist together for the perpetual duality cycles to happen. This is Sankhya vedic metaphysics.
@@Dharmicaction go and read bhagwad Geeta instead of preaching ur imaginary hypothesis which itself has no basis nor have any facts to support. Loooooooool. Mayavadis like u r always deluded by maha maya herself which u so praise as adi shakti.

WoW! Thank you!!!

Swamiji pranam..heard you the realisation gives you fearless ness freedom..and bliss...but a thirst to know and see Brahman increases...
RUTA BHATT Even though you (athma) are temporarily at your office, you must perform your dharmic duty. So, no escapism from worldly matters in the name of omnipresent Brahman. Arjuna tried to play the card of everything is athman/brahman too but Krishna said Karma yoga is better than Jnana yoga in his context. So, it was Arjuna's dharmic duty to finish off his adharmic relatives.

Thank you so much Swamiji Maharaj 🙏. But whether it is Advaita or anything else , you have to experience it. Otherwise the purpose is not realised!🙏
Tat avam asi - you are "already" that. Athma is the conscious observer and experiencer of individual 5 senses.. But athman is not the doer. Without the immanent athma nothing can exist or nothing can be perceived in its current form. So, athman = brahman. Expansion of individual consciousness to cosmic consciousness is samadhi or moksha when microcosm becomes macrocosm.

All good things mustn't come to an end
All good things and bad things come to an end.
No only Good Things Prevail .
This is very open and free minded discussion lecture and eye opening also. Great swamiji pranam to you.
Also I appreciate questioners for asking very interesting and relevent
Anyone please mention the book Swami mentioned
Some pointers here, just trying to keep things honest and accurate.
- First of all, Dvaita is not used in the term of “Duality” vs. “Non-duality”. The real name for Madhvacharya’s school is “Tattvavada”. It is a monotheistic pluralistic realistic school that fundamentally classifies the ontological nature of reality into just two categories: Svatantra and Asvatantra - “Self-dependent” and “Dependent”. The Swamiji did mention this. The supremacy (most vividly understood through his Self-dependence, and infinitely complete nature) Sri Hari, or Vishnu, or Narayana is the primary import of all Vedas “वेदैश्च सर्वैरहमेव वेद्य: || BG 15-15”
- One popular advaitic notion that needs to be removed is everything else other than Advaita is Dvaita. That is wrong. Everything other than Dvaita is Advaita. To quote Prof. Surendranath Dasgupta - “The only school of Vedanta in India that holds an uncompromising Dualistic view is Madhwa’s Dvaita - everyone else compromised with Advaita in one form or another…”. This will be very clear with serious study of Madhwacharya’s philosophy.
- Definition of Vedanta differs in the two schools:
o Advaita - Only Upanishads
o Dvaita - Upanishads, but more importantly Brahma Sutras are the real “Vedanta” since without Badarayana’s aphorisms interpretations on Veda are not possible.
- There was a cheeky comparison of Madhwas to Evangelical Christians. This, by the way is not a new view - ignorant people have been making it over the centuries. Giving the benefit of doubt to the swamiji, I can say a superficial view of the Madhwa attitude towards advaita could seem that way. However, the basis behind refuting wrong knowledge or viparita jnana is actually clearly mentioned in the Ishavasya Upanishad (shloka 9). It is our firm belief as vVaidikas that we should live up to that ideal:
“Those who worship Vishnu with false understanding enter dense, unrelenting darkness; a greater darkness than that go they, who are merely devoted to the correct understanding (but do not care to criticize incorrect understanding). We may say, therefore, that “a great responsibility rests with him who knows; he is bound to teach others, [else] his lot is even worse than those of the ignorant.” [SCV11] Not only is it the case that one must condemn false knowledge in order to avoid the greater suffering that would ensue if one did not, but one must also do so because the two things, correct understanding and condemnation of incorrect understanding, each have their own separate result that one should seek.”
- Dvaita does not randomly classify the Veda into Tattvavedika and atattvavedika. All the vedas, all the sacred scriptures are primarily conveying the majesty of God, and the way out of Samsara is to lose ahamkara and mamakara and understand that God is the real doer, not the self. The self is only an instrument, like an axe that cuts the ashwattha tree. So there are no differences between the Samhita and the Brahmana and the Aranyaka and the Upanishad, or the Ramayana, or the Mahabharata, or the Puranas. A deep study of Brahma Sutra and all other texts are required for this, a cursory glimpse or bedtime reading will not do. This is the meaning of the sutra - “Om Tattu Samanvayat Om”
- One thing that Advaitins forget, is that the traditional view holds that the Vedas are infinite - “AnantA vai vedAH”. Badarayana, or Srimad Veda Vyasa compressed the entire infinite Veda into 564 sutras for analysis. One should reflect - is this possible by a “mere rishi”?
- There we 19 Brahma Sutra bhashyas before Shankaracharya. So he was not, according to popular belief the first. He was the 20th Bhasyakara, and Madhwacharya was the 22nd.
- Madhvacharya’s brahma sutra bhashya - there are 4 - not 1. And nobody calls it “Purna Prajna Bhashya”. Here are the real names:
o Brahma Sutra Bhashya
o Anubhasya
o Nyaya Vivarana
o Anuvyakhyana
- Jnana vs. Bhakti - unfortunately, the swamiji has is not totally accurate here. Jnana is the highest goal of any human - न हि ज्ञानेन सदृशं पवित्रमिह विद्यते । तत्स्वयं योगसंसिद्धः कालेनात्मनि विन्दति ॥ BG 4-38 Bhakti is culmination of the right Jnana, of the supremacy of God and His infinitely completely spot free and pure nature and the upakara without prayojana that he does for infinite Jivas for infinite time, out of His own purnAnanda svaroopa. In advaita, Bhakti has zero meaning. Bhakti towards what? What is the object of Bhakti? You are Brahman, so who are you showing devotion to? Devotion can only arise, by definition, to an entity that is many folds superior to you. As Hanuman said - "Dasoham Kosalendrasya" because Rama is swayam Bhagavan. One more perspective to think about: Jnana is the ultimate goal of Vedanta (all Vedanta - not just Advaita, that's another monumental misconception) "Nahi Jnanena Sadrisham". Karma, Bhakti, Vairagya all spring out of True Jnana. Without true Jnana, what meaning is there to Bhakti? (It becomes superstitious emotional sentimentalism) and Karma becomes empty rituals without any higher motive guiding it. Seeing one as different from the other does not make any sense. Jnana is the Gangotri. Thinking that Bhakti is different from Jnana is the same as not understanding what Bhakti is at all. Bhakti is the CULMINATION of Jnana - Atma Samarpana, and can only come from very mature souls.
- Ultimately, we should at least appreciate the honesty of the Ramakrishna order. The swamiji quite openly admitted that “we accept the statements from the Gita, with a footnote that they are all false”. I think what he meant by that is, if they say something that purportedly has a “Bheda bhava”, hethey will consider that vyavaharika, or anirvachaniya or sadasadvilakshana - for which there is zero proof in the vedas and plenty of proof in Buddhism, and has been througroughly refuted logically too. So Advaita quite simply becomes Buddhism cloaked in Upanishadic language. This is not an attack or an insinuation - it is quite literally the truth, whether you want to believe it or not.
- Another very basic mistake - belief in God in Dvaita is not blind faith. First of all Bhakti is not faith - it is love (sneha). The swamiji read out Madhwacharya’s definition of Bhakti, then forgot about it and contradicted himself later. Bhakti comes from knowledge of God and His supremacy. It comes from faith in SCRIPTURE, which talks about God. This scripture itself is Apaurusheya which is inherently flawless, therefore it is the only authority on God. That’s a huge topic in itself - but basically the swamiji oversimplified to a caricature.
- Last point: The job of reconciliation between different world views is that of a politician. Not that of a seeker of truth. This is why no Madhwa has ever seeked to reconcile with advaita. This is the truth the way we see it - and no amount of linguistic trickery can shake the nishtha in truth.
To all serious students of Indian Philosophy - please LEARN SANKSRIT. Stop relying on English translations. Read all bhashyas with an open view. Come to your own conclusions. There are many traditional scholars who can guide you along your path. Please seek their help. Believing that you are Brahman is blind faith of infinite proportions.
For someone really interested in Dvaita, please check this video out, it may give a more accurate painting of Vedic scripture as a whole.

Uttishtha! Jagrta!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 another mystical talks and no proofs
God is beyond still the scriptures are from God 🤣🤣🤣
Idiotic things which says the true cause lives inside everything but still caste exists and also not only caste brutal conducts also exists
Most of the knowledge in their books were taken from buddhist text which saw humans as humans not on the basis of caste and apaurusheya 🤣🤣🤣 idiotic texts with no proof and of course they have written it in favour of a caste brahman 🤣🤣🤣
@@ex009adityarajsingh2 It's not even worth replying to this individual, but this will for the sake of other sensible people here. Veda is apourusheya. God is the highest Purusha. Put the two together, what you get is that Veda is not "from God". they are anadi and nitya.
Pranam Swamiji.
Debates and arguments have produced wonderful ideas and cleared our understanding. We have had a lot of discussion and debates about various Indian and Vedic schools of philosophy. We also had debates with Buddhists.
But, my question is why don't we debate with Abrahamic religions like Christianity and Islam? If we do so it will also clarify a lot of things and make our understanding better.
There has been lot of debate going on within abhrahamic faiths. We can't debate them cause references and philosophies would be different. And Abhrahamic scholors are more interested to falsify other gods and beliefs rather than talking about paths.
That's like trying to describe the magnificence of the Himalayas to a blind person. You can do it, but the efficacy is limited.
@@jagadishgajurel2597 None of the Abrahamic religions were built around any well validated metaphysics. Monotheism cannot be validated but vedic metaphysics can be by logic, experiment (double slit quantum experiment) and embodied experience (focus + meditation)
I LOVED this video!!!
Swami Sarvapriyananda jee. I bow to you with gratitude for imparting knowledge to me.
This juxtaposition and commentary on the two approaches has been helpful in highlighting old ghosts of inherited "dvaita." I did get "Appearance and Reality" out of state library--the chapter headings ALL enticed me, but his language has too m any words in it that for me are not well-enough defined or understood. Alas.
Advaitha does not say Maya = Illusion and the sanskrit word "mithya" (relative understanding of the world) does not mean false either. So, the world made up of maya shakthi of shiva is absolutely real.
Very clearly stated all system thanks
Wish all our saints of this time were like him. What a beautiful explanation
Very nice exposition from Swami. Is there a copy of text Vedanta Sara available? I have high regard for Buddhism and I find the difference between Buddhism and AV (leaving aside the concept of personal God or Iswara) is that Consciousness which is independent and is a aspect of Brahman, is considered part of five aggregates and considered 'arising out of conditioned association with the other four aggregates' and when the 4 drops off, consciousness also drops off. Whereas AV indicates that it is the consciousness that gives vitality to the other 4 and it's existence not dependent on the other 4.
Buddhism says no shiva, no shakthi and the world is an illusion. . Advaitha does not say that. It just says the illusion is caused by Maya shakthi of Shiva but it does not mean Maya = illusion. Ma means to produce or create. So, Maya is the creative shakthi of Shiva.. It means Maya is absolutely real and the world/universe is also real. Some Advaitha vedanta followers wrongly interpret Maya as the illusion through which Brahman falsely appears as the universe. Truth is Advaitha (non dual shiva) and Dvaitha (dual shakthi) are incomplete without each other. Over interpretation, wrong interpretation, distortions led to confusion.

how do the cycles and declining Kali Yuga relate to Advaita Vedanta, which seems to be a very progressive philosophy?
Try hindu academy by Jay Lakhani. Every question answered.
Very captivating podcast.
Kudos!
I have a question : - It's often said that the dreamer, is both the 1st person experiencing the dream, as well as the objects in the dream, however, dream is a motion picture by a sleeping brain, and an analogy to dream could be a drawing in the waking state. A picture drawn by a person, doesn't become the person. A person drawing and perceiving a picture and the picture itself are two very different things, then why does a person imaging running away from a tiger in a dream is cited as the dreamer appearing as both the tiger and the 1st person experiencing the situation ?
A book called Tripura rahasya can clear all your doubts regarding sleeping,waking,dreaming & reality beyond that.

*भक्ति-योग*
BG-14 closes with a note on भक्ति-योग.
Sri.Krishna says,
मां च योऽव्यभिचारेण *भक्ति-योगेन* सेवते /
स गुणान् समतीत्यैतान् ब्रह्मभूयाय कल्पते //१४.२६//
“He who serves Me alone, with constant devotion, crosses beyond the fetters of गुण, becomes fit for release”.
BG-15 starts ऊर्ध्वमूलं अधःशाखम् … which are words of Sri.Krishna entirely and it is being spoken without अर्जुन asking questions.
Here comes a rude surprise,
Sri.Shankara asks, how devotion alone can fetch release?. Devotion should lead to knowledge of the impersonal ब्रह्मन् (ज्ञान-प्राप्ति) and such a knowledge alone can lead to मोक्ष. Sri.Shankara wants devotion less in status to that of knowledge. His words in this respect are a rude shock. Please read them here,
यस्मात् मदधीनं कर्मिणां कर्म-फलं, ज्ञानिनां च ज्ञान-फलं अतः *भक्ति-योगेन* मां ये सेवन्ते ते मम प्रसादात् *ज्ञान-प्राप्ति-क्रमेण* गुणातीताः मोक्षं गच्छन्ति / किमु वक्तव्यं आत्मनः तत्त्वमेव सम्यक विजानन्तः? इति / अतः भगवान् अर्जुनेन अपृष्टोऽपि आत्मनः तत्त्वं विवक्षुः उवाच *ऊर्ध्वमूलम्* इत्यादिना …
“The consequential results or fruits of actions are under My control and I bestow it upon those who perform it, likewise, the consequential results or fruits of knowledge are under my control and I bestow it upon those who acquire knowledge, those who are devout themselves unto me through the yoga of devotion attain release through my grace after transcending the fetters of गुण. *Where is the need then to speak of those who have acquired the knowledge of the (Impersonal) Self?* It is therefore, Sri.Krishna commences with the words ऊर्ध्वमूलम् to set about the truth of Impersonal Self, despite अर्जुन not asking questions here”,
Please read in between the lines here. Bhakti is made to look lower than Knowledge - *भक्ति-योगेन* मां ये सेवन्ते ते मम प्रसादात् *ज्ञान-प्राप्ति-क्रमेण* गुणातीताः मोक्षं गच्छन्ति / किमु वक्तव्यं आत्मनः तत्त्वमेव सम्यक विजानन्तः? - this position is in total variance with BG-14.26.
ज्ञान is like sugar dissolved in bowl of water. Every sip of water taken from any corner of the bowl tastes sweet. The same sugar syrup when boiled becomes sticky and viscous. This viscosity is भक्ति.
Now, compare and contrast the immortal words of our *आचार्य-पूज्य-पाद*,
माहात्म्य-ज्ञान-पूर्वस्तु सुदृढः सर्वतोऽधिकः /
*स्नेहो भक्तिरिति प्रोक्तः* तथा मुक्तिः, न चान्यथा //
*Our आचार्य-पूज्य-पाद uses the apt word स्नेह which in Sanskrit means viscous*.

Two things 1 if shree krishna is the cause of everything then the evil and the victim both are god so why punish us everything is getting controlled then why saving a person who is dying let him die it's krishna doing or the ultimate being doing secondly if knowledge is everything then why did he defined so called idiotic varna by birth at birth everyone is abodh
@@ex009adityarajsingh2 nonsense idiot, varna is not by birth rather also by merits and in herent nature of individuals... Which Lord krishna, the supreme cause clarified in gita.... By guna and karma.... The varna

Raghavendra MBR - There is no blind devotion or Bakthi in hindu/vedic tradition. We have just shraddha (trust but verify with knowledge and experience). The word Shraddha was replaced by Bakthi in Baghavad Gita. Thanks to colonizers. They wanted to create blind bakthi movements to mimic Abrahamic religions. Colonizers thought It would be easy to control people through organized bakthi movements just like Church.
So, they also created fake back dated non existent figures like Madhavacharya, Ramanuja and went to any extend to prove it. Their fake interpretations of the original Advaitha and Dvaitha metaphysics caused serious confusion among hindus which led to the thinking that Advaitha and Dvaitha are competing metaphysics
Original Dvaitha does not say athman is not equal to brahman and Advaitha does not say that Maya is the illusion through which Brahman falsely appears as the universe either. Maya is the creative shakthi of Shiva and it is absolutely real. So, our world/universe is also real. Advaitha just says that the illusion (false identification with thoughts and body) is caused by Maya.
Point is Advaitha (non dual shiva) and Dvaitha (dual shakthi but only in combination with non dual shiva) are incomplete without each other.
I don't find anything more satisfying to the intellect other than Advaita.

Q: Whose intellect is satisfied?
A: “My intellect” is satisfied
T: you admitted now that “intellect” is just your possession. That is not your true identity. Don’t stop until you find yourself. Intellect feels happy when it hears high philosophy. But why do you care to feed the intellect more and more? Be still and know your true Self.

Swami Sarvapriyananda's advaita teachings are ultimate and very inspirative. They teaches us the Truth.
When one says " Tree is Green" Tree is not exactly the same as Green- Green color is possessed by Green. The universe is Brahman means the Universe is possessed by Brahman. Whatever he says it contradicts our experience.
@@regardsk3815
but when you say wave is water,it is ok right? there is no real difference between both of them.
Here, you can't say universe is a characteristics of brahman, because if there is really something other than brahman, then how can it be infinte?
@@abpt7647 wave is a quality of water. When air pressure acts with water . That water changes into waves. You may not see the air pressure with your eyes does it mean only water is there? I request you to analyze it completely. Please don't be carried away by half-truth. Water cannot change to wave unless there is another entity that is completely non-water. Then how do you say that water is wave only? waves are qualified with water and air. If waves are the same as the ocean we will not see it distinctly on the beach. Waves are distinct but inseparable from the ocean. LIkewise we have other living beings, fish and ocean beings all are distinct from the water but inseparable from the ocean. This is the reality of life. Waves and fishes are something different from Ocean but as on today they are never seperable from ocean. Thus all in one. This is oneness.
Brahman is infinite. He is qualified by the Universe and living beings who are distinct to each other but never inseparable from brahman. Universe changes which is natural. Living beings born and die. All these happens even today as inseparable act of Brahman.
From Sankaracharya time till today- the universe still exists. If he has discovered Universe is illusion and he is Brahman and there is only one Brahman which is Sankaracharya. Why the Universe exisit for you and I even today? So illusion still prevails even though many has realised the " they are exactly Brahman and Universe does not exisit"
Universe cannot be called brahman. Both are totally defined different by Sankaracharya. Sankaracharya says remove the universe which is illusion what remains is Brahman. Sorry till today Brahman is infinite, living beings are inifinte and Universe is also infinite.
Then where is oneness?
Oneness is achiived as Brahamn qualified with Living beings and Universe, Brahman'sinfinite body as living beings and universe, Brahman's mode as Living biengs and universe, Brahman's infinite power or part as living beings and universe.
@@abpt7647 There is no reality like the universe and living beings independent and separate from brahman.
@@regardsk3815 before answering, i am asking you to explain the manifestation of universe from dwaitha point of view. That is,how this all happen, how universe emerge from perspective of brahman.i am asking it to know your view and also as a introduction of my answering
Here in our example, water exist in a phenomenal world. So there must be cause for it to transform into wave and that is air pressure. But adwaitha is trying to say something different that is, when we come to our situation, brahman is infinite and so is devoid of cauality(brahman is not an entity of phenomenonal world like water). We are quoting that example *only* to show the relation of universe with brahman is existantial .So, if the universe is born out of brahman, you can't ask why.Thus there is no need of air pressure here, a real cause. If there is real cause, then brahman is finite as it is bounded to causality
So the answer to first question is, question itself is a logical fallacy because of comparsion of non-causal entity to causally bounded entity(an example is something used to show one or more postulates of a theory effectively and can't be a perfect indicator)
Badarayana is one Veda Vyasa? he is the God only....with out him no Vedanta, Bharatha or Puranas..and nothing.

Wonderful talk by Swamiji. What is surprising to s that these other people are not showing even 1% of the grace as swamiji. They are referring to the monastic order using words like “you guys”! This is why dvaita is important, it allows one to use positive emotions and attitudes to better understand Advaitha - love, humility, respect, correct words and correct behaviour. Usually millennials are blamed for not having respect, looks like problem is there with elderly people too. Indian culture always stresses respect to guru & elders, without even these in place how are they ever going to learn anything at all? 😩
I experienced that -- Humility is missing with all the organizer -- I suppose they have funded this program and that arrogance could be seen . SWAMIJI above all these - Does not affect in any form ..
Very nice explanation, advait vedant is reality true.. chidanad rupam shivoham shivoham...Shiv is ultimate reality...
Shiva is ultimate reality, by realizing this actually is dwaitya or duality... Where shiva is ultimate, but below ultimate is me and others... All others...
Adwaitwa means... None other.. Ekamebadwitiyam...
Nothing else..
Only me..
Shivoham...
I am shiva, or I am that which only exist.
Lol by praising advaita philosophy with using the name Shiva simply shows that dvaita philosophy is true.
@@keshavsikdar9284 Advaitha (non dual shiva) and Dvaitha (dual shakthi) are incomplete without each other. This is Sankhya vedic metaphysics.
@@vanamatrika.. Shiva is shava (corspe) without shakthi and without shiva nothing exists. So, shiva and Shakthi always exist together for the perpetual duality cycles to happen. Point is Advaitha (non dual shiva) and Dvaitha (dual shakthi) are incomplete without each other. This is Sankhya vedic metaphysics.
Khandesh Kothale Advaitha does not say that Maya = Illusion. It just says that the illusion (immanent athma's confusion and false identification with thoughts and body due to 5 senses) is caused by Maya. But it does not mean Maya = Illusion. What is Maya? Ma in Sanskrit means to produce or create. Maya is the creative shakthi of Shiva. So, Maya is absolutely real. It means our world/universe is also real. Some Advaitha vedanta followers wrongly interpret Maya as the illusion through which Brahman falsely appears as the universe. Point is Advaitha (non dual shiva) and Dvaitha (dual shakthi) are INCOMPLETE without each other. Shiva and Shakthi always exist together for the perpetual duality cycles to happen. This is Sankhya Vedic metaphysics.
A crude note on hermeneutics:
.
In the history of biblical interpretation, four major types of hermeneutics have emerged: the literal, moral, allegorical, and anagogical.
.
However, the Hindu way differ in its form and quality as we have shadlingas to interpret the Vedic mantras and shastras on one hand, the whole nirukta, chhanda, vyakarana, etc. as the tool to interprete tham. To add, our way of exploring the meaning and import in the light of adhyamik, adhibhautik and adhidaivik perspective should be based and extended to six dimensions of interpreting the vedic mantras as per one swami of arya samaji acharya nashthik agnivrata....
Swami sarvapriyananda-Dvaita philosophy is very complex and very sophisticated
Dvaita philosophy is full of Gnana, Bhakti and Vairagya... not only Bhakti.
It is clearly told with out Gnana bhakti is not useful.
Only fake interpretations of Dvaitha vedanta have blind Bakthi.
Madhvacarya's philosophy is a perfect science. It is indeed a diamond. Many cannot understand it. But literally speaking, Dwaita alone is the ultimate which took on different forms later as Acintya Bheda Abheda. We are indeed indebted to Madhvacarya, Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Baladeva Vidyabhushana etc Vaisnava Acaryas.
If I were earlierly Brahman then which force push into this world?
And that force should be stronger than Brahman itself.
Advaita vedanta is nonsense
You weren't earlier Brahman
@@nilalohita5020 then what?
@@vishalkhod6280 Yes, if Maya captures Brahman and it becomes Ishwara and Jeeva, then Maya must be stronger than Brahman since it has the power to expropiate Brahman.And also, Brahman is both Consciousness and Truth and simultaneously it is in ignorance so it becomes jeeva or ishvara, then how did the Same Unified Brahman be free from Maya and in Maya just like there could he no space of Light and Darkness simultaneously, that's why Advaita is completely flawed only Dvaitam is correct.
Hari Sarvotamma , Vayu Jeevotamma.
Pranam Maharaj ji. I have one question. in the lights of advaita Vedanta I understand the meaning of consciousness after going through your sessions. It would be helpful to understand the role of KARMA in perspective to advaita vedanta. If I am not the body nor the mind then how karma comes into play. please help me..
Listen to the aparokshanubhuti series...but you'd need patience..45+ videos 😛
He taught that Karma works on you as long as the actual realization that 'I'm not body mind' doesn't take place. So, spiritual seekers should perform every act , even breathing and thinking as an offering to God and keep in mind continuously that 'I'm not the doer' . After realization, you're free from Karma.
@@WoSarvatraHain thank you really for the crisp answer. Can you please help me with any session link wherein I can have the elaboration, preferably of Maharaj ji..
