I am Russian and my religion was supposed to be Orthodox Christianity. I started wondering what was the meaning of life when I was 14. Then I had a spiritual experience, when I felt one with the world, I just prayed and felt love and forgiveness and compassion towards all living beings. I tried to explain this experience, I studied all the major religions. I found the best explanation in Hinduism. Our prominent writer, Lev Tolstoy, said that "either there is no God, or everything is God". I cannot agree more.
Wow! I think you know that Leo Tolstoy was very much inspired by Swami Vivekananda. Both never met though. I think Raja Yoga was the book which inspired him first then obviously the whole Ramkrishna-Vivekananda-Hinduism etc.
Amazing! Lev Tolstoy wrote the book "What shall we do then" I read Gujarati translation, it's like having a constant watchdog inside heart auditing behaviour! Truth is so universal.
Ich schreibe aus Deutschland. Advaita Vedanta begleitet mich schon viele Jahre. Aber durch deine Lektionen wird es auch lebendig und transparent. Das tut sehr gut und motiviert mich - auch wenn ich " Durststrecken habe - nicht zurück zu schauen. Ich gehe weiter. " Nachfolge Christi " kenne ich seit meiner Jugend. Ein zuverlässiger Begleiter. Vielen Dank Swamiji 🙏
Vedanta has always been with the thought that many paths lead to one God realization. Ramakrishna himself worshipped as a Christian and it only served to expand his worship. Sarvapriyananda easily crosswalks Buddhism and Christianity with Vedanta. Universal consciousness not owned by any one religion. I think it’s beautiful.
Pronam Swamiji. 🙏🙏 I often wonder, do you know, how many of us you have saved from depression and remorse and loneliness? Your words and the way you deliver your talks, is itself a blessing of Thakur and Ma in our lives, that we have access to these videos. Words cannot express how we are indebted to you. May you be blessed with good health and spiritual joy. Pronam 🙏🙏

Hear Swami Sarvapriyananda'ji wonderful speech. Please don't judge. Every spiritual tradition across the world has its core an element of Truth which is shared across. True to the spirit of Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekanda and Ma Sarada's teachings 🙏 " Let me assume (not actually) that I am dead - cremated or burnt. Now, how do I live my life ?

Master Thomas did Christ a great favour when he wrote that little masterpiece. While waiting for execution, the Queen of France, Marie Antoinette, often read the Imitation of Christ.
‘Favor’ to God ??? That’s an arrogance of a puny mind. What capacity does a human have to do a ‘favor’ to God!!! It is by the blessings of the Divine that limited human beings are able to write the glories of God. Only in whom the ego is dead, does God make him/her the instrument for Divine work.
I saw this book on the shelf of a book shop in Seoul, Korea. As a Buddhist, reading up on this text and the point of its teaching seems, so far, to align with a path similar to my own. It's about goodness, compassion, a turning away from the prison of material and societal life. Meditation and introspection: The Way.
I’m sitting here on a rainy Sunday and enjoying such incredible lecture on life. Thx Swami for bringing such actionable wisdom to my living room. Kids playing and listening in the background is extra plus.
O,my learned Rishi Swami Sarvapriyanand U r holy mother is blessed goddess that she has given U birth.N we get golden opportunity to listen this divine N cosmic knowledge.
Swamiji, I am so so inspired by each and every of your videos. I listen every single morning and wish it to go on and on! Thank you so much for giving so much. Warmest regards
Namaste Swamiji, and thanks for another enlightening talk - in both senses of the word🙏 I always used to wonder if Jesus has visited India/ Kashmir, or had been exposed to Buddhism. A great part of Jesus's teachings is in tandem with Hindu/Buddhist philosophy philosophy 7:30 philosophy

Your spirituality lies in the cooking pots (As Swami Vivekananda used to say) All our Gods Rama, Krishna etc were non-vegetarians if you read from correct sources. Swami Sarvapriyananda is non-vegetarian too. Swami Vivekananda was non-vegetarina too. Shri Ramkrishna was non-vegetarian too.

Are we doing some great things then the above one? I don't think so, may be you are. If you are from ISKCON (Shirla Prabhupada considered Jesus Christ as an Avataara). In Short : WHAT PEOPLE EAT DOESN't DEFINE SPIRITUALITY.
@peterson-vl3nu Acharya Prashant is not the only spiritual guru on Earth. Don't make a cult out of him If you are so much of a devotee of acharya Prashant then why are you even listening to this non-veg eating Swami.😅 Veganism is huge deal with Acharya Prashant.
@@sumitdutta7043your concer to the well being of those who become victim of someone's greed defines SPIRITUALITY. The main purpose of Spirituality is to bring PEACE on this Earth. In order to achieve this Jesus Christ says: LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.
swami ji, humble question, when Christianity itself seems to be a political creation of the roman empire (no evidence of Jesus's historicity, not mentioned in a single art/literature/news/comments/traveller's diary of the time ???), how do we understand the divinity of Jesus or any of his teachings..... or is the teaching just renamed jewish teaching ?
I would say there's a great many streams of Christianity. I believe the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ to St John says plainly, though cryptically as an allegory, that judgement day, Day of atonements, is when we learn that there is no one to judge other than the self. The Revelation begins when John is in the spirit on the Lord's day which means focused on the breath, imo, asking who am I. God said, Be still and know that I am the Lord thy God. Rev. 1-5 Jesus Christ is the faithful witness and the first begotten of the dead. The faithful witness is the knower of the field and the dead is the person we appear to be but aren't. It's the same story as Jacob in the land of Pineal, Noah's arc, Joshua bringing down the walls of Jericho. Pineal means face of God, Noah means peace and Jericho means chaos and the people of Jericho represent the chaotic ideas in our minds which don't know the reason for the golden rule. Corinthians says Faith without reason is faith in vain which means for our own purpose or against the golden rule. There is only one place to find reason and that place is within. We don't need to go within because that's where we view the world as the land of Pineal. Before wrestling with the angel Jacob sent his worldly possessions and obsessions across the Jabbock River which means to empty and yada yada yada it was revealed to him that he was the face of God which he acknowledged when he confessed to the angel I am Jacob. I am is the Lord thy God and the faithful witness of all the dead as the Life of their body. Jesus said the father is in me and I am in you. God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son who taught us to pray the Our Father. God said, Judge not lest ye be judged. It's confusing because we believe we are our thoughts and that we can ask ourselves a question and we believe it is our self that answers. The mystery is how do the answers come and how did they get to the place they are kept sometimes called the Akasha. It's an eternal mystery because the mother of creation is unknowable like a virgin. I think Genesis would probably be more accurate as reading, In the beginning God said Let there be light and then said Holy Ghost where did that come from! 🙏
@@gomtiwad2345 The word judgement says judge the mind. I believe our minds are judged at the time of judgement which should not at all be seen like a sentencing of the convicted but rather an evolution of understanding. Who will judge the mind other than the knower of the mind? Who would know the mind at some supposed future time other than the one that knows the mind today? What is judgement other than the answer to a question? Who would question the mind? Who would know the answer to the question? It may be that judgement day is just when we choose to question the mind rather than follow it blindly. 🙏
If all humans had started to become ideal , and made a quest for mokksha, by some strange leap of faith, would we have had any kind of civilization? I mean, does thinking one pointedly only of Who Am I, let us achieve anything in secular life? It that not thought to be worthwhile in vedantic view?
@@ByHerGrace22 So you are assuming that all will go out looking for Who Am I?. This assumption holds no value as it never happens only a handful of sociely go for that goal, since the eligibility criteria is very high, so don't worry about that. Maximum don't even have the ability to do that kind of Tapasya. Majority of the society always is and will be into 'lust and money' Slowly people progress. Also you are separating secular life with spiritual life, what Swami Vivekananda wanted was to divinize the secular life. Most of the advancement in humanity happened because of thinkers etc, in there calm state of mind.
Thank you Mr Dutta for sharing your opinion. I really don't want to get into long argumentative discussions This thought arose when I personally try to follow, in a very limited way, what Vedanta says, that is to think of God, chant our mantra every waking minute. I find I cannot do much constructive thinking on my secular jobs, or even think in a creative way. Perhaps I am wrong, but I feel I am limiting the faculties God has given me as a human being. And again , the great men who have taken civilization forward, did not overtly do meditation, or repeat God's name, as such. Perhaps they were gifted with the quality of "sthita pragya" due to good deeds in some birth. I don't know. But as a normal human being, I feel many of my potential might be unrealized in the quest for the Divine. Of course vedanta would say it is all Maya. Then why does God give special gifts to some of his children, if they are only born to repeat His name? I wish Swami SPNji would answer some of our questions. Then we would not need to argue 😞
@@ByHerGrace22Swami Sarvapriyananda don't even watch the comment section nor does his team. So you won't get any answer from him. Ask this via mail (of Vedanta Society New York). If you don't want to repeat the name No problem there. Don't do it. Do the karma yoga which doesn't even involve God(if you don't want). Read Karma Yoga by Swami Vivekananda Its a short text atound 80-100 pages.
Swamy ji might have good intentions, but deceitful pastors as they are, somewhere in a remote village of Andhra Pradesh or Punjab use this video to convert Hindus to Christianity. Where as we Hindus are happy to promote Christianity but never stop conversions forget about converting. Just breaks my heart to see this...
So stop them in Punjab Haryana why are you crying for something happening in Newyork. Thry won't use this video its not in there local language. They have better tools like ricebag, food, dignity jobs etc. to bring them into Christian fold. 1st look for why are they even converting and are able to convert in the 1st place. Force the govt. there and our current govt. to keep Non-sensical version of Christianity there. If even after having our preferred govt. BJP still people are converting so how Swami giving lecture in English at Newyork will effect them in anyway. Also those cunning pastors reach the poor wand talk in their language not in English. Especially that "Kaali shakti bahar nikal rar ra ra ra...." type pastor.
True, the ultimate aim of both Christianity and islam is global domination. Conversions are tribalistic ideas, it doesn't have anything to do with Spirituality! It should be called out! These types of conversions are affecting Hinduism very badly, Conversion teaches people to forget about their roots and replace it with a new identity which is fueled by misinformations about the indigenous traditions and cultures. This is un acceptable! Only Hindus can save hindus. The Abrahamic religions have wiped out many indegineous civilizations and cultures with this tribalistic attitude.
@@sumitdutta7043 1. There are churches who uses only English to preach, or can even just a show a demo of this and use it to their advantage. 2. If the Hindus can use their temple money to build hospital and university and schools for poor, but government control them. Same dignity, rice bag etc can be given... 3. I don't understand why people think BJP is pro Hindu, I personally don't. 4. This video not alone might convert people but it will be fuel to existing fire. Thanks anyway

As a Hindu We love Jesus and not the politics of Church....conversion ...if Jesus was the only Saviour what happened to souls before the era of Christ....
Prophets in Bharat are born every decade... though not popular but unknown
not every decade its too much
avataar type people only come in 400 years approx in the world.
mostly in India
Jesus is God in the flesh...so he always have existed....since before all the souls were created....
Of course ir not the only saviour.
During that period and to those people he was the only saviour.
Jesus is great but my point is Why should be souls harvested by church and condemn our thousands of living Gods
Yes ,the church based Christianity limiting Christ ,inducing hatred regarding other religions, similar to that ,what Moulanas doing about Allah!@@rgvgsg

In Short : WHAT PEOPLE EAT DOESN't DEFINE SPIRITUALITY.
@@sumitdutta7043 I disagree.
@peterson-vl3nu Acharya Prashant is not the only spiritual guru on Earth.
Don't make a cult out of him
If you are so much of a devotee of acharya Prashant then why are you even listening to this non-veg eating Swami.😅
Veganism is huge deal with Acharya Prashant.
@@sss32454So we agree to disagree.
By the Way the hostorical facts that I mentioned are truth even Swami Sarvapriyananda think that as facts.
@@sumitdutta7043your concer to the well being of those who become victim of someone's greed defines SPIRITUALITY.
The main purpose of Spirituality is to bring PEACE on this Earth. In order to achieve this Jesus Christ says:
LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.
swami ji, humble question, when Christianity itself seems to be a political creation of the roman empire (no evidence of Jesus's historicity, not mentioned in a single art/literature/news/comments/traveller's diary of the time ???), how do we understand the divinity of Jesus or any of his teachings..... or is the teaching just renamed jewish teaching ?
Who will be judged on the day of judgement? The field or the knower of the field?
No one will be judging😅
This is why mainstream Christianity is dying.
I would say there's a great many streams of Christianity. I believe the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ to St John says plainly, though cryptically as an allegory, that judgement day, Day of atonements, is when we learn that there is no one to judge other than the self. The Revelation begins when John is in the spirit on the Lord's day which means focused on the breath, imo, asking who am I. God said, Be still and know that I am the Lord thy God. Rev. 1-5 Jesus Christ is the faithful witness and the first begotten of the dead. The faithful witness is the knower of the field and the dead is the person we appear to be but aren't. It's the same story as Jacob in the land of Pineal, Noah's arc, Joshua bringing down the walls of Jericho. Pineal means face of God, Noah means peace and Jericho means chaos and the people of Jericho represent the chaotic ideas in our minds which don't know the reason for the golden rule. Corinthians says Faith without reason is faith in vain which means for our own purpose or against the golden rule. There is only one place to find reason and that place is within. We don't need to go within because that's where we view the world as the land of Pineal. Before wrestling with the angel Jacob sent his worldly possessions and obsessions across the Jabbock River which means to empty and yada yada yada it was revealed to him that he was the face of God which he acknowledged when he confessed to the angel I am Jacob. I am is the Lord thy God and the faithful witness of all the dead as the Life of their body. Jesus said the father is in me and I am in you. God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son who taught us to pray the Our Father. God said, Judge not lest ye be judged.
It's confusing because we believe we are our thoughts and that we can ask ourselves a question and we believe it is our self that answers. The mystery is how do the answers come and how did they get to the place they are kept sometimes called the Akasha. It's an eternal mystery because the mother of creation is unknowable like a virgin. I think Genesis would probably be more accurate as reading, In the beginning God said Let there be light and then said Holy Ghost where did that come from! 🙏
Surely..do you still be in judgement day? God is so petty that he will judge his children?
@@gomtiwad2345 The word judgement says judge the mind. I believe our minds are judged at the time of judgement which should not at all be seen like a sentencing of the convicted but rather an evolution of understanding. Who will judge the mind other than the knower of the mind? Who would know the mind at some supposed future time other than the one that knows the mind today? What is judgement other than the answer to a question? Who would question the mind? Who would know the answer to the question? It may be that judgement day is just when we choose to question the mind rather than follow it blindly. 🙏
I am curious about this.
If all humans had started to become ideal , and made a quest for mokksha, by some strange leap of faith, would we have had any kind of civilization?
I mean, does thinking one pointedly only of Who Am I, let us achieve anything in secular life?
It that not thought to be worthwhile in vedantic view?
@@ByHerGrace22 So you are assuming that all will go out looking for Who Am I?.
This assumption holds no value as it never happens only a handful of sociely go for that goal, since the eligibility criteria is very high, so don't worry about that.
Maximum don't even have the ability to do that kind of Tapasya.
Majority of the society always is and will be into 'lust and money'
Slowly people progress.
Also you are separating secular life with spiritual life, what Swami Vivekananda wanted was to divinize the secular life. Most of the advancement in humanity happened because of thinkers etc, in there calm state of mind.
Thank you Mr Dutta for sharing your opinion.
I really don't want to get into long argumentative discussions
This thought arose when I personally try to follow, in a very limited way, what Vedanta says, that is to think of God, chant our mantra every waking minute.
I find I cannot do much constructive thinking on my secular jobs, or even think in a creative way.
Perhaps I am wrong, but I feel I am limiting the faculties God has given me as a human being.
And again , the great men who have taken civilization forward, did not overtly do meditation, or repeat God's name, as such. Perhaps they were gifted with the quality of "sthita pragya" due to good deeds in some birth.
I don't know. But as a normal human being, I feel many of my potential might be unrealized in the quest for the Divine.
Of course vedanta would say it is all Maya.
Then why does God give special gifts to some of his children, if they are only born to repeat His name?
I wish Swami SPNji would answer some of our questions.
Then we would not need to argue 😞
@@ByHerGrace22Swami Sarvapriyananda don't even watch the comment section nor does his team. So you won't get any answer from him.
Ask this via mail (of Vedanta Society New York).
If you don't want to repeat the name No problem there. Don't do it.
Do the karma yoga which doesn't even involve God(if you don't want).
Read Karma Yoga by Swami Vivekananda
Its a short text atound 80-100 pages.

Swamy ji might have good intentions, but deceitful pastors as they are, somewhere in a remote village of Andhra Pradesh or Punjab use this video to convert Hindus to Christianity.
Where as we Hindus are happy to promote Christianity but never stop conversions forget about converting.
Just breaks my heart to see this...
So stop them in Punjab Haryana why are you crying for something happening in Newyork.
Thry won't use this video its not in there local language.
They have better tools like ricebag, food, dignity jobs etc. to bring them into Christian fold.
1st look for why are they even converting and are able to convert in the 1st place.
Force the govt. there and our current govt. to keep Non-sensical version of Christianity there.
If even after having our preferred govt. BJP still people are converting so how Swami giving lecture in English at Newyork will effect them in anyway.
Also those cunning pastors reach the poor wand talk in their language not in English.
Especially that "Kaali shakti bahar nikal rar ra ra ra...." type pastor.
True, the ultimate aim of both Christianity and islam is global domination. Conversions are tribalistic ideas, it doesn't have anything to do with Spirituality! It should be called out! These types of conversions are affecting Hinduism very badly, Conversion teaches people to forget about their roots and replace it with a new identity which is fueled by misinformations about the indigenous traditions and cultures. This is un acceptable! Only Hindus can save hindus. The Abrahamic religions have wiped out many indegineous civilizations and cultures with this tribalistic attitude.
@@sumitdutta7043 1. There are churches who uses only English to preach, or can even just a show a demo of this and use it to their advantage.
2. If the Hindus can use their temple money to build hospital and university and schools for poor, but government control them. Same dignity, rice bag etc can be given...
3. I don't understand why people think BJP is pro Hindu, I personally don't.
4. This video not alone might convert people but it will be fuel to existing fire.
Thanks anyway
People who convert are not happy with their religion
Swami Vivekanand always opposed conversion into Christianity without hurting Christ.

YOLO... But it's forever. This is apparently also a trendy saying.
