Ah, What an extempore narration of the essence of debate of the Divine Trio. For a long time, I have been searching for this type of narration and today my heart is filled with joy. My humble Salutes to you Murali Sir. I saved it and shared it
I have tasted nectar, the joy of enlightenment in Murli Sir's interpretation of divine bliss.
A great talk & all who can aspire spirituality should hear it.
Very good master.. I wish you long life.. god bless you
What a wonderful narrative. It cleared most of my doubts. My pranama master 🙏
@Darren jeshua was a deity of tribals in Africa To have his devotees many rivers of blood of santanic/ pagans had flowed Still they could not produce a Vivekananda in modern times
àß
My Grandmother told us these stories with lots of love and tears in her eyes. Never realized the depth till I listened to it now. MuraliJi you are Godsend. Pranam!
The tears of joy came abruptly after hearing this story as if happened to me long ago. Wishful thinking ...Thanks, love & respect from Balkan native.
Ur an atman seeking to realise ur true nature 🙏
You are a true Bhakta. Thats the sign of pure Bhakti. God resides in your heart.

@@Mithilesh_R where did he mention it exactly can you refer.
Aham brahmasmi
'God is present In every atom of creation' such a profound statement
True, truest
yes indian philosophy is deep and logical. only problem is indians dont listen
@Darren your level of thinking and grasp of Truth is just kindergarten level and don't blame you for having such low level of I Q .. majority of the human kind , the mass , are like you only..
the class , the leaders of the human beings are a always in minority... but they are the beacon lights of this species ..
As per these ABRHAMIC RELIGIONS , like all THOSE religions like Judaism, xianity, Islam ..., all those originated OUTSIDE India , , do you Know , as per their tenets , your parents , grand parents, great grand parents , great great.. ,it goes like that , all of them are turning on in their graves , waiting for the stupid judgement day , infinitely waiting ....
Likewise , as per these RELIGIONS and Its concept , after your death , you will also be joining your ancestors , waiting in the grave..... Infinitely for ever...
Likewise , your children will also be joining you in the grave , waiting for the judgement day, infinitely for ever..
I pity that majority of the human population is such a sheer stupid foolish idiots .... to believe such cock and bull story of Bible, khuran and Tora....
What a stupid idiots...
THE FINAL JUDGEMENT DAY, THEN VISA ISSUANCE TO HEAVEN FOR A CHOSEN FEW AND FOR THE REST EXPULSION TO HELL ...
THEN THOSE WHO GOT VISA TO HEAVEN , ENJOYING WITH BEAUTIFUL DAMES AND WINE FOR EVER AFTER... ( AGAIN , THIS IS ONLY FOR MEN , FOR WOMEN EVEN HEAVEN IS A HELL , DESTINED TO PLEASE MEN FOLK.. BIBLE IS SO PARTIAL TO MENFOLK )
AND
THOSE PUSHED TO HELL , GETTING FRIED AND ROASTED IN THE HELL FIRE FOR EVER AFTER...
BUT , NOBODY KNOWS WHEN THAT JUDGMENT DAY COMES AND FINISH THE AGONY OF SUSPENSE OF ELIGIBILITY TO HEAVEN OR PUNISHMENT TO HELL...
YOU GOT TO WAIT INFINITELY... AS PER THESE UTTERLY FOOLISH, STUPID RELIGIOUS FAITHS...
AGAIN , I PITY THOSE STUPID IDIOTS WHO FOLLOW SUCH RELIGIOUS FAITHS...
EVEN THIS GUY JESUS HAS TO DESCENT FROM HEAVEN AGAIN , AND VISIT THIS EARTH TO DO THE JUDGEMENT ... EVEN THE PROHET MUHAMMED WILL BE WAITING IN HIS GRAVE , AND AS PER KHURAN , HIS TOMB WILL BE THE FIRST ONE TO BREAK OPEN AND RELEASE HIM... TILL SUCH A TIME HE IS ALSO TURNING IN HIS GRAVE... AND THIS POOR JESUS ALL THIS TIME KILLING TIME WITH GOD ALL ALONE , KEEPING HIS BELOVED APOSTLES WAITING IN THEIR GRAVES...
we now know that there are millions of super clusters of galaxies with trillions of galaxies having trillion trillions of stars and zillion zillions of planets.. and life ...
These stupid ABRHAMIC RELIGIONS could think of only this planet and human centric life...
Just kindergarten syllabus only...
YOU STUPID IDIOTS , GO TRY TO STUDY WHAT INDIAN PHILOSOPHY SAYS.. ' aham brahmasmi ' I am the god , ( here , god concept taught by these stupid ABRHAMIC RELIGIONS is taken for convenience of lesser intellectuals. ) I am no less than the god , or I can become the god , or I can realise the god and become it...or I am also perfectly eligible to become the god ..
BY MEDITATING UPON THE TRUTH , BY CONTEMPLATING THE REAL ' I '..WHO AM I ...MY POSSESSIONS , MY DEGREES , MY BODY, MY FACE , MY LIMPS , MY MIND , WHO AM I REALLY , cut off my face , cut off my limps one by one , still ' I ' remains.. loose control of the mind and become insane and lunatic , still I am the mad man remains...
EXPAND THIS ' I ' FROM THIS EGOCENTRIC , LIMITED THOUGHT OF I , TO THE VAST LIMITLESS EXPANSE OF THIS COSMOS ,
YOU CAN'T FIND EVEN A SIGN OF THESE ABRHAMIC GODS LIKE JESUS,YAHOVA,HOLIFATHER, ALLAH...etc etc THESE STUPID FOOLS ARE LIKE A MIRAGE IN THE DESERT..A BIG NAUGHT..
BUT I REMAIN , EVEN THEN ....,....

I express my sincere regards to swamyji for enlightening speech.
वाद-विवाद की पूरी घटना को इस तरह से बताया गया कि हम उसकी कल्पना और अनुभव कर सकें! धन्यवाद
Sir, you are a charismatic narrator and your impeccable English makes it sound even more beautiful. It was great watching this video.
Great storytelling. I bow down to you Acharaya.
I bow down to my Guru Maharaj Ramakrishna paramhansa, Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya.
May I be guided to a righteous path.
Hari Om.

I wanted this narration to go on for 32 days .. I was immersed in this beautiful narration…what a story teller 🙏🙏🙏🙏
adi shankara ended the 1000 year debate between hinduism and buddhism , respect
🙏🙏🙏
You are Too Vibrant and Full of Ojas Sir...🙏🏻The divine glow is Radiating from you...🤩🥰
I go through about 20 youtube videos a day. I can't remember the last time I watched a video from start to finish without forwarding, getting distracted, or clicking around. This talk was a meditation.
I am left speechless with tears of joy 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
As a Christian the more Indian Philosophy becomes part of my understanding the more I understand and see the wisdom in Christ's messages and commands .
Yes. The kingdom of God is within you.

Pls stop stealing our Hindu spiritual wisdom and give to Christ fictional character. this is called cultural digestion it is beginning of our genocide. CHRISTIANITY, BIBLE, CHRIST ARE ALL CANNABILISM. THE SATVIKNESS IS ABSENT IN CHRIST.
I had a nagging question in my mind, it is my Guru who attained Mahasamadhi in 1918 guided me to listen to your narration, I got the answer, thank you, thank you for your wonderful narration of the debate between matha Bharathi and Adhi Shankara.
🙏🙏🙏🙏 Reverence to the 3 debators and the narrator of the story of their debate.
Remarkable. Adi Shankara the greatest philosopher to have walked this country. His views on Maya are mind-blowing
We can easily say that great est philosopher ever in the world
Basically, he discovered the simulation theory of the universe long long before modern human scientists confirmed it.

Such gem of people. Their place should be in Indian crown. The Indian Govt. should appreciate such people and bring them back with respect they deserve.
Please upload more videos with stories from Upanishads, Ramayan, Mahabharata etc because you narrate them so well and make them so interesting and realistic 🙏🙏🙏💕💕
Oooo nice😊😊
I too agree plse more videos Sir, on d same dabate will b fantastic

We become more matured by listening to these stories which happened in real, i got lost for a while in your talk Guruji!
What an amazing narrative of an ancient story! It is enduring & compelling even today because we still seek happiness & answers to the same questions!
Dr. Murali You are God's own voice!God as in the power of the element of oratory,truth,channel of facts
Thank you so much for every word.. you are an amazing human.. My heart melts listening to your voice.. what a beautiful power you have.. may you be blessed by the Devine
Live this life, the biggest story of all.
The words flow like a steady stream carrying the water to places that are dry and dreary!
Beautifully said 🙏
your name tells it all the Lord is in a state of Ranganatha waiting to spring up and invoke righteous action in all of us in this dry land which is getting full of negative energy .
You yourself seem a great storyteller. So well said 😊
I bow down to you for your extraordinary narrations
Very few can touch the souls with their stories. Completely stumped. Jay Jay sankara.
One the most beautiful narration sir. Pranam.🙏🙏🙏
A riveting storyteller bringing to light so much practical wisdom! A powerful teaching method.
Bahut bhaut dhanyawad swami ji
What profound knowledge easily passed on in the story form, which has been lost in the modern times.
Why am I crying listening to this narrative?
Me too, I felt like I was cleansed 🙏
What an excellent talk! The entire event of debate was narrated in such a way that we could visualize and feel it - you took us to the debate courtyard. Thank you very much sir 💓

@@Mithilesh_RCan you stop purposefully spitting poison on southern acharyas? Perhaps it would've done you better actually researching on this topic rather than copying and pasting the same comment under everyone's comments.
You have no rights to belittle Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya or any of his shishya Jagadgurus, for they do so much work for Sanatana Dharma, and Buddhism is something that observes completely different principles to Hinduism, i know this because I am well associated with the sringeri peetham and i can confirm you are wrong
These Indians😱😱😱 always doing fabulous things in d world. 🙏🙏
No words can justify the manner in which the whole episode is described in a very eloquent manner.
It was pure nectar to the ears. Thank you.
I did not see
i did not hear
Murali Venkat Rao
i felt AADHI SHANKARA right there
true and truth was slapping on my face like the winds from the Ocean
MVR just transported me there
a true Katha Kalaatchaepam
what more
the explanation of the last verse and the context - the whole happening - nailed me once again
This narration almost made me, the listener - visualise the scene. This is the true effect of a great story teller.
I have always wondered about the content of the debate. This discourse has given some insight into it.
While we've been reading AdiShankaracharya comic in childhood...
Sri MuraliVenkatRao relived d pictorial depiction...thru hs mesmerising verbatim🙏👏👌
One cannot get such eloquent extempore without divine blessings. I'm so glad RUclips recommended me this.
Koti Koti Pranaam Swami Ji 🙏

sir, you have been Blessed by a rare genious of visualisation and then connecting the same to viewers. I truly felt and immensely benefited.
Extraordinarily narrated sir. Thankfully to you and youtube
One of the most beautiful narration I ever heard. I think this is possible only from the purest heart and mind. It's not simple story telling. Thank you so much 🙏💐💕
This wonderful story took me back in time to the Vedic era
Never had i experienced a feeling of divinity like when i heard this brilliant excerpt from Adi Shankaracharya s life and times 🙏🏻 thank you Sir!!! THIS brought tears of joy and sorrow (at once) in my eyes, on how far man has moved away from his teachings and probably paves the way to embrace it once more .... Blessed indeed are all of us, as we listen to this amazing account of the greatest Hindu saint to have ever set foot in our subcontinent and narrated in your inimitable style, that touched the heart and inspires the mind towards the depths of spirituality in pursuit of the Divine, as preached by the one and only Adi Shankara 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 thanks again Sir. Looking forward to more discourses like this one to lead us from ignorance to divine bliss.
Post more.
He is world's best storyteller. A yogi n CS.

Man, I am mesmerized by these stories, like a child at bedtime. Beautiful 🙏🏻
This stories are not fairytale. Spiritual knowledge for mankind
Exactly
This is so divine. So divine. Devi Saraswati herself was guiding you in this pursuit Sir! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Well good for you! There are more than one ways to reach the ultimate. I am glad you found yours. That was also the message in this video if you took the time to listen and understand what the story was conveying.
Fell in love with the story n the narrator as well. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole video
MA SARASWATI resides in you 🙏
I have not come across such a divine story teller till date . Wished the naration never ended 🙏🙏.
Awestruck at the narration...felt as though I witnessed the debate between Sri Shankarachrya and Mandanamishra....🙏🙏🙏
🙏 Namaste Sir,
Spellbinding
Pranam
In my childhood, whever I visited my village, in the nights when lights were off, and there were not much electricity so stars in the sky was always visible, during summer we would sleep on the terrace, there during the night stories like these would be told by elders. That used to be something. Now I appreciate all the organic way of living in village, suddenly it became about having a lot of material as if if you don't have materials filled in your house you are poor. Things have change for bad and I have realized what was the good way to live.
I love his way of telling..the english, humor, intensity and story....long live Indian story tellers
What a great narration!!! Thank you so much. We are blessed to hear you. Dr. Pratibha Nadig, Bangalore
I am very fascinated with Adi Guru Shankaracharya. Some believe he was incarnate of Shiva himself. Nevertheless, the whole “Shastrarth” between three of great souls had never been retold like the revered Guru Muraliji. I listened to him because of his way of describing things that conjures up the vivid images of story coming alive. This surely is not just a story you listen to often but rather a feeling of tasting some divine elixir after long long thirst. Just savouring that elusive ecstasy of a craving soul. Please do bless us with many more stories about of our culture and religion.
Phenomenal narration. What a memory to remember such details during narration. Big respect to this gentleman Sri Murli Venkatrao.
Beautiful convencing narration worthy of watching

There were some goosebump moments for me. We are blessed to have you swamy for such a delighted narration. I learned new things for my life today.
Where are you from 🙏

Thank you Guruji for your brilliant ability to transfer the untransferable knowledge in such a lucid manner.
Oh, what a beauty! How can someone narrate like this, and that too on such a complex topic. What a sermon. No words to describe the joy you get on listening to these words of wisdom. As I am drawn more and more into Advaita Vedanta, I can only thank RUclips for recommending videos that I enjoy. Thanks to Ananda Sangha for uploading such gems.Hara Hara Sankara, Siva Siva Sankara!
🙏Guruji- very well explained about the greatest debate - between the best way to live as a householder & achieve moksha or being a Sanyasi by two /3 very great people who helped mankind to understand life
Thank you sooo much Sir for a continuous flow of information from this story ..Pranaam s to Sri Adhi Shankaraachaarya,Sri Bharathi Dhevi .Sr Mandana Mishra & of course you Sir - your beautiful narrative & essence of the debate made it so wonderful to listen & to follow the truth Thank you 🙏🌺🙏🌺🙏🌺🙏
I always wanted to hear a lecture about Adi Shankara from him. Finally.
Although there is more to the story, time is limited and you covered important parts of it.
Thank you for doing this.
Love from Nepal.
The way u speak sir, it's goes straight to the heart.
Extraordinary !! Many pranams !!!!
