ABOUT VEDANTA
Vedanta is one of the world’s most ancient religious philosophies and one of its broadest. Based on the Vedas, the sacred scriptures of India, Vedanta affirms the oneness of existence, the divinity of the soul, and the harmony of religions. ABOUT US Vedanta Society of New York is affiliated with the Ramakrishna Order of India. In fact, this is the Order's first Center started by Swami Vivekananda, in 1894. It was a historic event, for the seed of the world-wide Ramakrishna Movement was sown here in New York over a century ago. Swami Sarvapriyananda is the present Resident Minister and Spiritual Leader of the Vedanta Society of New York.

Thank you. Yes. Swami S. once said the ultimate truth is neither dual nor non dual. The ultimate truth must be far far beyond not just language, but beyond human understanding. The enlightened are still limited by human understanding, being human. Therefore they will articulate their experience of ultimate truth in terms of their existing belief system.

Mr. Vishvarupa (AKA Swami Sarvapriyānanda) is undoubtedly a VERY intelligent man, but the fact that he supports the two most pernicious institutions in the history of the earth, as well as him being an animal-abuser, says much about his true moral character:
F.I.S.H. Paragraph 28. Feminism is the penultimate evil at present because feminism is based on the misguided assumption that women are equal to or even superior to men. Although a female can exhibit superior traits, skills, etcetera, to some men, a woman can never have AUTHORITY over a man. Truth be told, no true man would ever descend to the level of accepting counsel from any of his subordinates. A man should fully obey his appointed masters and never emasculate himself by submitting to the dictates of a female. Feminism and democracy are guaranteed to destroy society, as can be clearly seen at present.
However, feminism will NEVER EVER be destroyed until the most pernicious institution is first destroyed:
F.I.S.H Paragraph 26. Democracy is evil because the masses will invariably choose the murderous Barabbas over the good King Jesus. This planet is surely doomed unless the most pernicious institution ever known to man (democracy) is replaced by the only legitimate form of government (monarchy - preferably a good monarch, though even a bad king is preferable to being ruled by an elected official who can never be good). Most of the problems in human society are directly or indirectly attributable to this relatively modern phenomenon, since it is the government’s role and sacred duty to enforce the law. Just because good and bad are relative, does not imply that they do not exist. They do exist but are relative. A democrat can never be good, despite appearing so.
One of the many sinister characteristics of democracy, communism and other evil forms of governance, is the desire for their so-called “leaders” to attempt to control or at least influence the personal lives of every single citizen.
For example, in the wicked, decadent nation where this holy scripture was composed, The Southland (or Australia as it is known in the Latin tongue), the demonic government tries and largely succeeds in controlling the rights of parents to properly raise, discipline and punish their children according to their own morals, limiting legitimate powers an employer has over his servants, persecuting religious leaders (even to imprisonment and death, believe it or not) and even trying to influence what people eat and wear. Not that a government shouldn’t control what its citizens wear in public, but it should ensure that they are modestly dressed, which is hardly the case in Australia and similar nations. Basically, the worst of the democratic governments promote or at least permit all things contrary to God’s perfect and pure will such as adultery, fornication, prostitution, pornography, homosexuality, gambling (even running lotteries themselves), illegitimate abortion of poor innocent unborn children, irreligion, drug addiction, disrespect for authority and promoting materialism and ignorance via a powerful network of institutions of miseducation (so-called “schools, colleges and universities”).
Let it be known however - democracy can not and will not endure. The truth shall triumph!
Democracy is only acceptable within large business corporations, where the shareholders must vote on who will be the company bosses and other matters.

“The cure for nescience is unerring knowledge”.
I think... I think the big secret is and it's evident In the process that once you get it you move beyond all systems of belief and into the realm of mystery. Where faith and trust is your only guide. A belief is a self imposed limitation
THE TRUTH ABOUT "SWAMI" VIVEKANANDA & THE RAMAKRISHNA MISSION:
Some of the following three points apply to practically any "religious" organization, not only to the Ramakrishna Mission/Vedanta Society.
Nota bene: I refer to the founder of that pseudo-religious organization by his proper name, Mr. Narendranath Datta, and NOT the name by which he is addressed by the deluded fanatics who follow him, "Swami Vivekananda", for reasons that should become obvious when reading the following.
1. A spiritual master ought to be a member of the Holy Priesthood (that is, the "brāhmaṇa" class of society, usually wrongly transliterated as "Brahmin"). Mr. Datta was a member of the working-class ("śūdra", in Sanskrit), since he failed to exhibit key characteristics of a genuine brāhmaṇa.
Firstly, he was a drug addict (he died at a young age, due to lung cancer caused by chain smoking tobacco). 🚬
Secondly, he was a carnist. A carnist is a person who considers animals unworthy of moral protection (he virtually suckled on the teats of cows, thus causing undue harm to both himself, to the cows from whom he stole their milk, and of course the poor, innocent calves, who were robbed of their food). 🍼 🐄 🥛
In order to learn of the prerequisites for being a TRUE BRĀHMAṆA, email me for a copy of the Holiest of All Holy Scriptures, "A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity" ("FISH").
2. The Ramakrishna Mission/Vedanta Society condones the two MOST PERNICIOUS institutions in the history of the planet - democracy and feminism. There is insufficient space in this comment section to properly explicate the reasons why democracy (or, for that matter, any system of non-monarchical governance) and feminism are so adharmic and evil, so, if you are one of the very few souls who is desirous of understanding my reason for stating the above, you should find my Email address in the "About" page of my RUclips channel.
3. Because, as mentioned previously, Mr. Datta was an ultra-fundamentalist pseudo-religious fanatic, and an ignorant "śūdra", none of his disciples and grand-disciples, et cetera, can ever attain to self-realization, for as Lord Jesus Christ rightly stated two millennia ago, "A student can never be greater than his teacher".
Therefore, if one has ambition to become even more "realized" than Mr. Datta, it is ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE that he seek training from a guru who is on a higher state of spiritual understanding and realization than Mr. Datta, or any of the current Ramakrishna Mission "sannyasins".
Just to provide a couple of examples for the above accusation, the current head of the Advaita Society of New York, Mr. Vishvarupa (so-called "Swami" Sarvapriyānanda) is a self-confessed candāla (dog-eater), since he consumes the bloody carcasses of poor, innocent animals, and of course, as a member of that demonic organization, he promulgates the second-most pernicious institution in history (feminism). Furthermore, the British woman who hosts his RUclips channel, Diane Crafford, according to her Facebook profile picture, condones not only unjustified animal slaughter, but she supports the murder of even poor, innocent, defenseless, unborn humans. 👿

Whenever I listen or read the works(Bhasyam) of Adi Shankar, I always get Mesmerized, I am Student preparing for IIT JEE Advanced, his works feels me to an Quantam Physicist writing on the Upanishad and the Vedas.
Bro , how is your prep going on 😉😉nd also please watch the video on free will by j krishnamurti or swamiji
I am not really concerned about what any particular person BELIEVES. You may believe that there is an old man with a white beard perched in the clouds, that the Ultimate Reality is a young blackish-blue Indian guy, that the universe is eternal, that Mother Mary was a certifiable virgin, or that gross physical matter is the foundation of existence.
The ONLY thing that really matters is your meta-ethics, not your meta-physics.
Do you consider any form of non-monarchical government (such as democracy or socialism) to be beneficial?
Do you unnecessarily destroy the lives of poor, innocent animals and gorge on their bloody carcasses?
Do you believe homosexuality and transvestism are moral?
Do you consider feminist ideology to be righteous?
If so, then you are objectively immoral, and your so-called "enlightened/awakened" state is immaterial, since it does not benefit society in any way.

However, it is a demonstrable scientific fact, that EVERY thought, action, and motion that has occurred in the phenomenal universe, was entirely determined by every preceding action, all the way back to the “Big Bang” singularity event. 🤓
@@JagadguruSvamiVegananda two words: uncertainty principle
@@Action.by.Action
Some sceptics (that is, disbelievers in determinism) have cited Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle as conclusive proof that free-will exists. However, most (if not all) such sceptics are simply displaying their own abject ignorance of quantum mechanics, because the uncertainty principle has naught to do with the determined-random dichotomy, but merely states that there is a limit to the precision with which certain pairs of physical properties, such as position and momentum, can be simultaneously known. In other words, the more accurately one property is measured, the less accurately the other property can be known. Even if quantum physicists eventually prove beyond any doubt whatsoever, that quantum indeterminacy is factual (for which they will be required to explain the origin of such stochasticity, which seems inconceivable), it will not demonstrate that human choices and decisions will be random (or “free”, to use a more vague term). That would be akin to stating: “One of the electrons in my left foot suddenly decided to spin clockwise, and so, I resolved to skip breakfast this morning.” How LUDICROUS!!

"Many are the names of GOD and many are the forms through which HE can be approached !"
- Ramakrishna Paramhangsha.
The localized consciousness of the me and the universal cosciousness are not separate. They are part of the manifest and the unmanifest. Thanks to Swami's explanation it becomes clearer. Both are illumined by the light. Thankyou Swami Sarvapriyananda.
consciousness/Consciousness:
“that which knows”, or “the state of being aware”, from the Latin prefix “con” (with), the stem “scire” (to know) and the suffix “osus” (characterized by). To put it succinctly, consciousness is the SUBJECTIVE component in any subject-object relational dynamic. The concept of consciousness is best understood in comparison with the notion of sentience. Cf. “sentience”.
As far as biologists can ascertain, the simplest organisms (single-celled microbes) possess an exceedingly-primitive form of sentience, since their life-cycle revolves around adjusting to their environment, metabolizing, and reproducing via binary fission, all of which indicates a sensory perception of their environment (e.g. temperature, acidity, energy sources and the presence of oxygen, nitrogen, minerals, and water). More complex organisms, such as plants, have acquired a far greater degree of sentience, since they can react to the light of the sun, to insects crawling on their leaves (in the case of carnivorous plants), excrete certain chemicals and/or emit ultrasonic waves when being cut. At this point it is imperative to consult the entry “sentience” in the Glossary of this Holy Scripture.
According to this premise, the simplest forms of animal life possess sentience, but no noticeable semblance of true consciousness. As a general rule, those animals that have at least three or four senses, combined with a simple brain, possess a mind but lack an intellect. Higher animals (notably mammals) have varying levels of intelligence but only humans have a false-ego (sense of self). Thus, human consciousness is constituted of the three components: the mind, the intellect, and the pseudo-ego (refer to Ch. 05).
There is a rather strong correlation between brain complexity and level of consciousness, explaining why humans alone are capable of self-awareness. In this case, “self-awareness” is not to be confused with “self-recognition”, which is a related but quite distinct phenomenon, found also in several species of non-human animals, in which an animal is able to recognize itself in a mirror or some other reflective surface. “Self-awareness” refers to the experience where a human over the age of approximately three years, is conscious of the fact that he or she knows (that is, aware) that he or she is aware. Obviously, in the case of a child, he or she may need to be prompted in order to first be acquainted with this understanding. For example an adult could ask the child:
“Do you know that you have a toy car?” “Yes!” “And do you KNOW that you know you have a toy car?” “Umm...I think so...yes!”.
In contemporary spiritual circles (as well as in several places within this book), the capitalized form of the word usually, if not always, refers to Universal Consciousness, that is, an Awareness of awareness (otherwise known as The Ground of All Being, et altri).
fantastic
Thanks! Good to hear I'm not alone in thinking this. One mountain and many paths. haha
Well said. My only clarification would be that the various Paths are not incomplete in themselves, in their uniqueness as expressions of union with the divine. Otherwise one would be required to walk all the Paths in order to reach the destination. But if this were so, since no single Path was complete, then simply adding together all the incomplete Paths would not amount to a complete Path, either.

The way I see it is to think of a rainbow. The colours of the rainbow represent all the various paths - each is true to itself and there are many colours which we, as humans, cannot see. Even though each colour is 'true', they all originate from white light and will all return to white light.

That's why Bhagwan Ramana maharishi said, only Silence can explain the whole truth. Just like Lord Dakshinamurthy
But in the touching elephant example. How does one know they are touching the elephant and not some other animal?
If I am the observer then who governs or decides the change
Ultimately, you are both the seer and the seen.
Duality is the nature of creation. The Eternal Oneness and the Temporal Multitude themselves appear as a duality. Both are as real. Because the temporal is the expression of the eternal. The human mind and consciousness in its newly awakened state are prone to confusion arising out of the complex multitude. The realization of the truth is that the multitude and the One are a continuous chain of creation and dissolution, and it is the Eternal Bliss. Truth is a path less path. Paths won't lead us anywhere. Paths are meant to help realize our ignorance.
man is the best story teller in the universe
The concept of God is multifaceted. It's compacious, encompassing all versions from different religions. Either they are all wrong, or all of them are right.
Never limit the god.
I think, that one is wrong by saying what you Said, because one is very Well advised to Limit god apropriatly, for it couldnt otherwise be understood. What i mean by that is simple to See by taking into Account, that one might say of god, that he is a Person much Like us, while the other says the opposite. Further, that he is totally trancendent and apart from us, while the other says the opposite. Both cannot be true in the same respect. Either both are false, or Just one, but never both true. Only If they regard different levels of truth or Reality maybe, but i am Not Sure how to understand them. And even If, they would Not concern the Same and be of Not the Same value.
I think we can make the following Analogy to the Claim, that all paths lead to god. In fact, only one way leads to Truth and god, Like in Logic, where from Truth follows Always Truth and all Truth being by that Connected, only one continuum exists. In the opposite Case, from falsety, Not only falsety follows, but randomness, including some Truth. The Truth stays the Same, but the ways to it are very different, and the one clearly that of wisdom, the other of lucky opinion. Now there might be many paths between, trying to follow the right one, but they only succeed in reaching some true permises and conclude from them the right Things. But as they are Not integrated fully and completly in the ultimate, they will Always be prown to Error, making them No Enlightenment at all, but Something Close to it in some Things.
From the maybe truly wise i therefore have Heard, that they too concider all Religions only as means to this, but with No value in themselves, but rather with much Potential for danger.
For either, they are more Like metaphors and Analogies, or they are viewd as substantial Truth. The second way is certainly wrong concerning this.
All Religion may try to Talk of the Same, and in many Things they arrive at the Same, but mostly from very different Positions, and by that they also arrive at different Points.
The path of Religion is mostly build to reach god as the end, considering the beginnings of ones Journey to be either clear or true because of the Religion itself. Rather, one must reach god as the Beginning, to reach from there to the end without doubt and error. For the one follows from the other, and Not vice versa.
In Geeta its distinctly and repetitively mentioned that I the effulgent Purush have created all and Iam present as paramatma in hearts of all beings who have jivatma in them. He has also differentiated many times that he alone remembers past, present and future events and none other can. He also says he has created this prakriti by his yogmaya and its his apara form. He has mentioned his abode to be lighted by not the sun,not the stars.
This all indicates that he God has a form, an abode though he has made this world so he is present in every atom of his creation by his powers.
But there is no duality in Consciousness or Purusha
And abode is the state of Truth state of Consciousness.
Prakrati is also anadi but actually it is all avidhya.
But is the enlightenment then the same? Does it make sense to have different paths but only one enlightenment?
Enlightenment is the only non variable experience 🙏🕉️
The reason there are different relative accounts of the Absolute is because only the Absolute is absolute. This world is a marriage of subjectivity and objectivity, so views of the Absolute are always going to be intertwined with subjective belief.
When you see creeds such as Judaism, Christianity and Islam which insist, unlike the Eastern doctrines, that only they can be true, and all other views are false, it’s because those creeds reflect the subjective qualities of the people they were given to. Easterners generally speaking are tolerant on spiritual affairs, despite the relative rigidity and homogeneity of Eastern societies, whereas Middle Eastern and Westerners are intolerant of different spiritual views-thus their creeds reflect their nature, and were always intended to from the beginning when they were given down (or conversely attracted down).
The parable of the blind men feeling different parts of the elephant is useful, but it is also misleading because it suggests that any given religious tradition only possesses ‘partial truth’, whereas in fact every legitimate religion is its own ‘world’, and contains the entire truth within it. If a religion leads to the Absolute, then it leads to ultimate reality, not simply a partial view. This was Sri Ramakrishna’s position, as he followed each path up and found them to lead to the same Absolute.

Because space is infinite and there are multy suns, so the ultimate reality is some thing or some body else. Logically every one must realise and accept it.thanks
Also Lord Krishna says in B.Geeta that I stabilise the faith of devotees in whatever gods and goddesses the person feels inclined to worship and its I who grant their wishes through these Gods and Godesses and after their death devotees go to the abode of these Gods and Godesses.
Also of all paths bhaktiyoga is the best path of all and he has repeatedly emphasized that devotee should remember him at all times,chant his names and glorify him. And those who think of him as mortal human being are people who are ignorant and end in the cycles of birth and death only

This is liberal interpretation of Indic religions propounded by the likes of Ramakrishna, which I admire. But many Orthodox Hindus from any sects in reality won't accept other gods or other rituals. For example, u won't generally see an orthodox Hindu liking and accepting Christ or Allah. Dayanand even rejected everything that's not in Vedas.
It’s not the Hindus. It is the people from other religions who forcefully impose their religion on Hindus and when they try to defend they seem like they’re not accepting . the very reason Christianity and Islam took their roots in India is because they thought whatever the Hindus did was wrong and even demonised their deities . They basically believe in one book and one path.
Jain anekantavaad can satisfy all logics. अभेद अपेक्षा से एक और भेद अपेक्षा से अनेक। दोनों द्वैत और अद्वैत सत्य हैं अलग अलग अपेक्षा से। अनेकांतवाद ही सत्य है। द्वैत - अद्वैत के एकांत का आग्रह गलत। जैन धर्म में मुख्य गौण व्यवस्था होती है। एक पक्ष को गौण करके दूसरे पक्ष को मुख्य कर देते हैं। लेकिन दूसरे पक्ष का लोप नहीं करते हैं, दीवार के दोनों हिस्से हैं, दोनों अविनाभावी हैं । एक को भ्रम सिद्ध करोगे तो दोनों खत्म हो जाएंगे। दोनों का अस्तित्व मानो अपनी - अपनी जगह।

Instant enlightenment just doesn't happen for most.
The principles are worthy of understanding and seeking but do the work on the mind as well.
A spirituality without a psychology is not whole and visa versa.
Only Advaita Vedanta is the truth and the Vedas are the only guide to realize it.
@@halcyon2864, Yes I did.
@@halcyon2864, How can you equate Advaita Vedanta to Bible and a Vaidik to a Christian??? Advaita has numerous books that were written by Acharyas explaining why Advaita is true whereas Christianity has no such texts bcz it depends on a blind belief that Christ rose from dead. Anybody who equates vedanta to Abrahamic theology is the dumbest person on earth.
@halcyon2864 my point was that if “achyucnth2555” wants to be a fundamentalists, that person has the right. Be careful who you point your fingers at about sensitivity or ego 👇because by doing so, you point three fingers back at yourself! You say that “I know” how egotistical that “you know”!!!…Can’t wait until those far far far eastern commandos show up in the west and decide that no one can believe in “any way!” …And they won’t be followers of Lord Buddha either! They will paralyze all spiritual paths and then you might possibly wish to speak with a fundamentalist and there will be none and you won’t be allowed to “speak” freely!!! Ooooh, that glorious day!!!
Sri Ramakrishna did not agree
@@alejandrobetancourt4902,Adi Shankara logically proved that Advaita is the ultimate truth and the Vedas are the only way to realize it. Sri Ramakrishna got enlightenment through Advaitic practices as taught by his guru who is a sanyasi of the order created by Adi Shankara. No other religion accepts Ramakrishna as an enlightened man except Hindus. "I am God" is absolute nonsensical to abrahamic faiths.
I disagree. Islam cannot be the true path. So barbaric, so violent. It's demonic not divine
@LifesInsight it's not my filter. Have you read their scriptures, what is taught to them. How they hate everything that is non Islamic. I can't understand a cult that hates the people who don't follow their prophet. How can that be the true path.
@LifesInsight my experience is different. I have read its texts. A Muslim can be a good person but Islam is not a good religion. So all paths DO NOT lead to God.
