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.
Had to stop the video to write this: we are so blessed to have this kind teacher. And the ones who help with filming and uploading and so on. Thank you 💕✨
Wonderful chap! Looks like Swami Vivekananda has come back. He is unlike others, who charge heavy fees. God bless Him.
He has taken this path to give..not to take.. these folks are different
These comments bring tears to my eyes. I totally agree with the above comments. He indeed reminds me of Swami Vivekananda
@@Nothingness000 Maam,how I wish that swami ranganathanandaji Maharaj who passed away in 20005 was alive today.He would have anointed him ias his worthy successor....jai ma kali

India's reloaded vivekananda.

You changed my whole perception forever
I finally realised my true self with your help

"From this height, even science is superstition". Gotta love Swami!
vedanta begins where science ends. 🙏
In some cases some scientists are Supertisized, I have seen in my research life.
Good spoken
Because science " changes" :)
Changing Unchanging.
We are blessed to have this Swami living in our life time.
Don't worry. The Lord will always place us fallen souls in touch with such great souls. We are His children.
So persuasive!!

Swamiji is actually what His name is... Sarwa priya ananda 🙏🙏🙏
@@rdani8775 you are so right!
Swami ji is a ray of light in this dark age, thank you.
The cardinal message of Bhagwat Gita: Everything is in me and I am in everything! There is nothing like ‘self’. There is only one’Self’.
I feel blessed to have found this.
🙏 Swamiji, I feel you are like Swami Vivekananda proclaiming to the world, "Arise, Awake and stop not till you reach your goal", in this case our Ture Self-Pure Consciousness. Infinite Pranam to you. 🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹
Swami, after following your several sessions I have come to have a very real feeling of how I am not the body:
I fly a drone with a FPV glass and look down on myself from height and distance with total detachment. The body where I dwell looks just another object! A great feeling to begin with!
Great!
But I don't 'dwell' in the body either!
Instead, the body and this entire universe time APPEAR in me. These names and forms that we call the body or universe appear and disappear in me, keep changing in me while I'm there constantly unchanging, unmoving, unaffected by any of it.
Can a person in coma....experience that he is in coma ??
Or when the brain is asleep, do we experience that we are sleeping. Can any independent 'self/awareness' tell that the brain is sleeping ???
That means when the mind/brain stops working.....there is no independent self/consciousness, that experience that I am in coma/sleep.
So it's the brain that experiences the brain. The brain is self aware.
@@MDVaashir The one who is there in the waking, dreaming AND deep sleep where the brain experiences no visible "awareness" also known as Turiya is what is referred to as consciousness... It is not an Object which you can be "aware" of.. That is the basic message of Vedanta.
The mind is an object!
And the consciousness is the subject! The world is just an appearance. Not real .l' m Brahmin!
It solves so many problems in our life! Thank you Swamiji 🙏
The best example I've heard!
This is truly amazing, love how simplistically you have delivered working of the mind and it’s displacement 🙏💜🧡🧡
Right ❤❤❤ @margot.244
23:10 - starts talking about Ashtavakra Gita
Thank you
Please at least start from 21:00 as Swamiji emphasizes that don't leave spiritual practices thinking I am Brahman (God). I will start listening from 23:10 now. Also, suggest 2x playback speed rather than skipping earlier part as understanding context of speech/knowing speaker always help. He has taken time to prepare for this delivery.
Tnx may god bless you
Nothing he says is wasted. It all has purpose. Please have the patience and humility to listen. He has the grace to give, the very least we can do is receive with gratitude. 🙂🙏
I felt the part before was more important to me!
Got what I wanted at this stage.
I bow before the person you are. Such a profound teaching and you have given everything that you have to make people like us understand this subject. You don't seek anything and still available to us. How Brahman makes you the person you are. Selfless and humble. I don't have words to express my gratitude. It can be expressed through silence only. Dandwat Pranam Guru Jee
I just got the Ashtavakra Gita and love it. I wish I could have a conversation with Swami Sarvapriyananda because there are some things I don't quite understand. I can easily understand that when you observe an apple, for example, you are not the apple. An apple is an object of consciousness. You are the observer of the apple, the awareness of the apple. In the exact same way, any thought that arises in the mind is not you. You are the observer of the thought. What I don't understand is how one can observe the eyes. We can become aware that we are seeing or not seeing but we can't observe the eyes. And becoming aware that we are seeing seems to be a mental process. Without an intelligent mind able to discern this an animal could see their entire lives without ever knowing that they are seeing. It seems to me that just as the eyes cannot be observed but are inferred by the fact of the awareness, the self cannot be observed but is inferred by the fact of awareness. This is perhaps the deeper interpretation of Descarte's phrase, "I think, therefore I am."
While I am pretty convinced about the existence of the self, to say it exists is to say too much. Can we really say that the self is consciousness? As the Buddhists say, consciousness arises entirely dependent on contact between sense organs and sense objects. There is no independently existing consciousness. This is why the Buddha even said that consciousness is not-self.

I just failed to understand that who the people are disliked Swamiji's lecture. He has mesmerized us for last one and a half years. I'm fortunate to have his lecture.Thakur bless us all.
I start my day with his discourse ! It’s the finest way to start my day and pray that I continue it until the end of my life . We are blessed to be born during this era. The depth his knowledge and his command over not only Advaita but almost all the philosophies of the world is incomparable . The crowning glory is his humility. To me he is the ultimate’Guru’. I bow in reverence.
Yeah! 😊
🙏🏼🕉️
Explaining the most difficult Vedantic philosophy in a simple & lucid way is wonderful art of oratory that Swami jee is master. Hats off to him. 🙏🙏
Such pure energy Swami has ... This is Nishkaam Seva - Spreading this ultimate knowledge all around without asking for anything..🙏🙏
Swamiji enjoys the joy of sharing.
The Master
I have no words to thank you Swami ! Please accept my Vandana 🙏🙏🙏

A great teacher of this century. Thank you swamji.
No words can express the gratitude that is being experienced by the Self right now. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! The Self is love and compassion, otherwise you wouldn’t be here. This experiencer is finally becoming aware of itself and that is thanks to you. I bow before you, as That. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
OMG..everytime i listen to Swamiji i get goosebumps of joy and love..My heartiest gratitude to Swamiji for unblocking what is not..Always love to you..
You don't get the joy, you are the one aware of the joy
Very Tough Subject taught in a Simplest Way.For a moment a thought entered my mind that ASTAVAKRA himself teaching through SWAMIJI.
To be frank enough ""I" am following ALL LECTURES on VEDANTA since last six months.I am very interested in ASTAVAKRA GEETA & hence following this DIRECT (SWAMIJI'S WORDS) KNOWLEDGE.
SHIR SASTANG PRANIPATS TO SWAMIJI
JAI RAMAKRISHNA
Blessed to be hearing this🌼 Naman, Swamiji
He is very very inclusive in his thoughts and takes good from all like bee takes nectar from all kinds of flower. This quality makes him outstanding others...असली ज्ञानी किसीके मत का विरोध नहीं करता
Swamiji, Namaskaram I bow down to you, your wisdom and understanding really inspired me lot.
🙏🏻🙏🏻thank you Swamiji...... I am really gifted and blessed to have you guide us on advaitha Vedanta. I wish to meet you one day.
On Teacher’s day today, I bow to you Swamiji ….
Feel blessed to have access to these vedios. My gratitude and pranam to Swamiji 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you so much Swamiji, I have no words. I have no words to express my gratitude to you the way you explained the entire session is beyond my imagination thank you thank you thank you💐
It's such a good practice to try and repeat to myself and see which parts cause confusion. These days, we can just rewind, or find Q and A, until it's clear.
Pronaam swamiji...the explanation is lucid and crystal clear..pointing to the facts which we are always experiencing but fail to notice..
in between, I have just paused the video to show my gratitude towards swami ji you are such a profound guru I can't explain it with my mouth. if everyone got guru like you in any stage of life for example; in school or colleges they will never have problem regarding their subject you explain with such a clarity. if i can't understand you, I can say it i will not be able to understand anyone definitely. i don't know how to show my love towards you but i would like to bow down to you and accept you as my guru. guru hi paar lagaben ge.
Your politeness add more patience in me to listen your great deliberation. Swaiji, I want to hear more and more from you.
Thank you .Such a pleasure listening to you. Reminded so many times to get the essence.
Om shanti

Pure diamonds in the internet. A huge respect and Thanks to the respected teacher and the uploader
I the turiya thank to you the turiya for making us realize that we are the turiya. 😊
Pranam Swami Jee 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Pronam Swamiji..Your explanation is wonderful..Thank You so much for Giving us such an knowledgeable Lesson..God Bless Us All..
Thanks many again, I believe when things, text or speech, etc, is put so simple, but has so much strength. Then this is indivine truth. Blessings and pls keep the teachings going on this you tube. As I can not be in your presence, at this time. From being on the other side of the world. Soon come.
thank you Swamiji. I could listen all day. You put such profound truths so simply. Pranams
Swamiji 🙏. I was searching for this discourse by you. Thank you.
Everyone need such gurus in life.. I wish to meet you not once but again and again. no words to explain the beauty of lecture.............
It's amazing how ever since I started on this path of understanding creation and my true self, I am constantly erasing old ways of thinking and beliefs and just when I think I have found the 'truth', it all comes crashing down like a castle of cards. And I start all over again. THIS seems to be the biggest leveler so far. But I know better now, to keep an open mind..
blessed to hear Swamiji
Blessing to have a realized soul in our midst🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
आनंद आता है आपको सुनके..
Thank you swamiji🙏🏻

Hi..r u still muslim?
@@aishwaryasitaram2227 Is this all you could come up with after watching this video? I suggest that you watch it again.
Pranams to Swamy Ji, wonderful teacher 🙏
Most grateful for this lecture 🙏
Each discourse has now started making me reaffirm all that I have convincingly understood and as Swamyji just said each talk even by others gives me the central understanding of consciousness. But I need more experience to be able to teach others too in a way convincing even to them.
simply wonderful. much thanks Brother. I know who I am.
No you are are still cut off by mind . You should know what you are , not who you are .
I hv watched all the videos of swamiji Sarvapriyananda
Truly enlightening. Swamiji is amazing.

Swamiji, I love to listen to the story on Ashtavakra. and it was my luck to hear it form you, but you were going beyond the call of duty to explain with example to everyone and i just wanted to hear the Gita, so i realized i too had to subject myself to listen without bias and practice clam. lol.. Thank you.
Great lecture,your explanation is excellent,thank you

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. GOD BLESS YOU
Thankyou sir.Beautifully explained 🙏
Pranam swami ji
Amazing introduction to Ashtavakra Gita , Thank you Swamiji .
Thanks for uploading
What makes these lectures by Swami Sarvipriyananda so special are three-fold:
1. His command of American idiomatic English
2. His command of the Sanskrit verses and translation.
3. His lucid knowledge & explanation of Advaita Vedanta
It would take one many years of careful reading & asking for clarification to learn what Sarvipriyananda explains in several hours of these lectures.
We are truly blessed he has agreed to appear before our Consciouness and illuminated our path through the darkness of ignorance.
I humbly bow before him in gratitude.
