And the beauty is that- Only You are the truth, there is nothing else other than you, you are everything and still you are only one throughout. You can't die since you didn't took birth. Hence you have no Past nor future, But Present forever. Namaste, Om namah shivaya.
SwamiJi's command of the English language enables perfect delivery of the knowledge. What a most comprehensive 3-part discourse. Thank you immensely, SwamiJi.
Disagree: Everything one experiences is consciousness. Sights, sounds, thoughts, etc etc. All. Also, it’s not “my consciousness”; the body-mind exists within me, consciousness, not the other way around. Half of what this guy says is contrary to even basic teachings. 👎🏻 Try Paramahamsa, or Vishrant, or Spira, or others Also doesnt even mention difference between real and existent. Here and there are mya. And no maharahi, krishna, Vivekananda did not find bliss in the appearance. They found it in the sat-chit-ananda which the appearance is made of. 54:00

What a gift. After years of searching I knew I would find this. Beautifully elucidated Sir. And finally, I would never have thought it was this simple.
Each lecture of Swami Sarvapriyananda Maharaj covers the gist of entire Vedantic knowledge. There is lots of repetition in Vedanta verses but it never gets boring. Each time we hear “ Thou art That“ we are closer to the understanding of our own real Nature, evermore in the blissful vicinity of having been immortal. Maharashtrian saint Tukaram said “ Appearing to be made of dust, Tuka is still bigger than the sky! I have swallowed the carcass of this body which was the support of hallucinating samsara. If Tuka is appearing to be living, it is only for the benefit of others ( who are still dreaming).” Listen to Pt. Bhimsen Joshi singing this “ Abhang Anurania Thokada TUKA aakasha evada”.
We are the screen. but when the film is playing the screen can’t be seen in its natural state. This is our life. but the film is on and we are lost in it. Brilliant. namaskar. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👌🏽👌🏽🎲☯️🦋🙉🙈🙊❤️😇😝
So grateful for having you Swamiji with us..during our time... Thanks and pranam for your lucid description & preaching... Regards Sourav ( Kolkata, India)🙏🙏🙏
Pranam Swamiji . A million billion Thanks for making it so clear in our thinking & we are getting it right here, right now at our doorstep ..have access to it anytime we want . Its all Thakur is what i feel . Thanks once again for these 3 lect which are d gist of everything in vedant from shravan to manan to nidhidhyasan ..We are awe struck & become stabdha ..
In your earlier chanting closing your eyes closed giving the beautiful expression, me also closing eyes just were enjaying the situation of water n water Everywhere no such image was there looking each n every waves only existence in each n every waves, anf no such space eas there just water water ecerywhere, n your voice was coming just Akash Bani was as a voice announcing from the Sky,What a feelings was that i cld.nt write feeling as if New World become newly creared ! Mdy be excused am ungonr.
Lord Krishna gave knowledge to Arjuna and it came out in written form as bhagwat geeta.For hundreds of years the common man (Arjuna's) was misled about geeta . Finally lord Krishna (the absolute)has come in the form of you swami sarvapriyananda and is leading us on the right path towards enlightenment.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely brilliant... Eye opener so bad that even though this wonderful experience which will change our lives is not true. Only he who is is true, and I'm that.... So say, And you are that only I'm true
Oum! Lead us from falsehood to truth. Lead us from darkness to light. Lead us from death to immortality. Oum Shanti! Peace! I am kinda glad I was schooled by monks from Belur Math when I was a kid. Alan Watts was right. If religion is the opium of the masses, the Hindus have the inside dope! Thank you, Swamiji.
This discussion about screen and projection on the screen answers a very important question that bothers advanced seekers. Do you really have to shut off the thoughts to realize the Self? No! Cognize your nature as pure awareness, which is unchanging witness to the the current of thoughts, feelings etc. You are THE TURIA of the Mundakopanishad, which
To Aditya Shukla, Maharaj wants you to feel that you are the Brahmma... it can't be defined... one has to realise it by him/ her self at all. It was, it is and it will remain. The things (every creature of universe) illuminated can be defined but not that by which things are illuminated, because it is a journey and at the end one feels the undefined oneness... whatever I realised...
Thank you Swamiji for such a nice retreat talks as always. My question is Swamiji, when deep rooted image of myself(Gouri) remains and Advaita knowledge of my TRUE SELF counteracts with it, I watch silently the conversations between the false and true images or selves but how to alleviate it? Should I allow Maya to do its job and False I should enjoy the game?
Sir you have explained so difficult concept very beautifully and i understood it logically but i dont think it is going to have any effect because if a person is in suffering logic does not work there.I think the only way of liberation is to see it yourself only then the suffering can be ended
Consciousness in a mind posture is living its own experiential distortions in the form of subject and objects dualities attributed to it by its own mind posture.
I ( the Knower or Pramata) knows or can distinguish between the real and unreal. It is still under the veil of Maya, because the knower (Pramata) understands the play of Maya (Power of projecting and Power of veiling). So my question is Knower is not the Pure Consciousness. Knowledge or Awareness can help in climbing the mountain and get dissolved in the mountain, where I, the pure consciousness and the mountain are the same. Am I going in the right direction in my understanding Swami ji. Please help me. Thank you very much for all your talks.
Gouri Chatterjee I didn't quite understand your question, but, following might help. At the ultimate level, the knower is Atma (pure consciousness, existence), the known is Atma, and the knowing is also Atma, because there is nothing else but Atma (or Brahma). However, from the viewpoint of pure consciousness (Atma/Brahma) neither the knower nor the object to be known exist. So, all this is happening only from the viewpoint of the individual self for which the world is manifest. Thus, technically, the knower is the individual self, that is, knowledge is taking place in the mind of the individual self. Thus, that which perceives itself to be an individual self, becomes the knower as the proximate subject, trying to know the object. Atma remains the real subject. In case the 'target' of knowledge is Atma itself, the knowledge still takes place in the mind of the individual self. However, when this knowledge occurs, the perception of individual self itself dissapears.
So if I am this infinite consciousness and every experience is through me, why can i only experience one specific set of body, mind and emotions intimately?
@ 1:02:40 upon exiting formal meditation sessions of observing objects appearing to witnessing awareness, the practice need not stop, according to Dzogchen as well, we gain even more awakening by noticing "objects" appearing to presence/witnessing awareness during our daily round and in doing so be even more effective in our daily activities.
The moment you close your eyes and have the innermost or intimate feeling of “I”, you understand the “I-ness” of “I” at once. The moment you feel the “I-ness” of “I”, simultaneously you feel that you are AWARE of “I”. Here, if you ask yourself what you are aware of, immediately you feel and understand that you are aware of your EXISTENCE at the same time. Thus, the moment you feel the “I-ness” of “I”, your realize [1] AWARENESS {of I Am} AND [2] EXISTENCE {of I Am}- simultaneously. Hence, the feeling and understanding of Awareness and Existence is instantaneous and NOT sequential. This is because, I Am- Existence; and, I Am Aware that I Am- Existence. Because I “Exist”, I Am aware of My Existence; because I Am Aware, I Am Aware that I Am Existence. I AM that I AM! Dear Swamiji, your talk [the theoretical aspect] is really brilliant, highly meaningful and eye-opener. My humble salutations [pranaams] to you. However, I feel that your meditation part [the third part of your lecture] is not insightful enough and methodical. I sincerely feel that if you take up Bagavan Buddha’s Technique [original technique and NOT the afterward interpretations, comments etc] and purely base it on Upanishad Tattvaas, then, the indubitably the meditation will really become more powerful, meaningful and useful. This type of meditation [Upanishad Tattvaas + Buddha's Technique] can really change the world of confusion and skepticism towards Advaitha Tattva. Sorry for this comment.
Pranam Dearest Swamiji🙏 I have few questions, 1)If God is not created or destroyed Doesn't he think himself that why he exist at all? 2)What is reason behind why God within himself create this universe what does he gain from doing this? 3)Is there any direction in which God is directed? Koti koti naman Swamiji🙏🙏🙏
We need to make a clear difference between existential reality and perceptive reality. The screen and movie is the same thing , everything is one , just not in our experience.
58:26 how do you know that the person is still alive (post physical transition) This is our opportunity to tune into their nonphysical form and presence--- then do not dismiss the experience that will arrive. Sadguru I believe suggested; discover the nonphysical form of your loved one while it still animates the physical ...
What’s the reason for switching to the terrible ambient microphone at the beginning of the meditation in each lecture? It happened exactly then all three times, so it can’t have been random.
Swami ji, you said that only Brahm remains when universe disappears after every Cosmo cycle....but form where this Brahm came? If Brahm was always there then why can't the universe be the same ( without any creator)?...
I may be wrong but this is what I understood, The empirical universe which we experience is abide by certain laws, mainly of cause and effect. Therefore the universe is ever-changing.something which changes can't be permanent,so it will have an end. One that has an end has beginning also.also from other argument if universe fundamental nature is changing and based on cause n effect there should be a cause for production of Universe also,the first cause can never be known.more over what is changing can't be real because it cannot be eternal. So Vedanta says there is no universe nor cause and effect all this is an illusion. Why this illusion? Well there is only one Brahman, who in his nature himself has Maya by which he manifests himself as universe.maya is not separate quality of Brahman ,as fire has heat by its nature,brahman has Maya in its nature,because of which we see the universe.the Brahman is never born or never perishes.this birth n death ,cause n effect applies only in this empirical world which is again illusion created of Brahman by Maya.so we are also the manifestation of Brahman and our essence is pure consciousness.we don't exist separately from Brahman because we are his manifestation.we are manifestation of Brahman so we are Brahman, the pure consciousness. "Aham brhamasmi".finally There is only Brahman nothing is created out of it nothing can be destroyed from it because if it happens then the Brahman changes, but Brahman is changeless eternal.so this universe is not created it's mere appearance of Brahman.if we observe what Shankaracharya did here, he rejected causation there by killing the question of first cause. He brought Maya there by proving God is eternal.if Maya and negation of cause and effect theory is accepted.then there is no space for any question.all questions are answered by the advita using these arguments.
How does Advaita equate pure Consciousness and pure Existence ? I understand and feel conscious experience of some existence. So both Consciousness and Existence exists, I can attest. But I fail to understand how Advaita equates those two entities and makes the whole thing non-dual ??
In the note below, please read last sentence as under: You are the TURIA of Mandukya Upanishad. You are not the person of the waking state, nor the entity of the dream state nor even the blankness of the deep sleep. You are the unchanging Reality witnessing the three states, unaffected, untainted. The states and their contents have no reality apart from you just as the projections have no independent reality apart from the screen.
I sometimes feel that the movie this mind is creating is perhaps not interesting enough and thus this body will be terminated. Also I’m wondering who is exactly in control. Who is the one making decisions… mind, intellect or the universe?
Existence; we can never objectify the existing Atman - we can only infer Its existence as the essence of existence we experience in all objective thing. Consciousness; we can never objectify the conscious Atman - we can only infer Its Consciousness at the essence of consciousness we experience in our body, mind and intellect. Bliss: an essence beyond my ability to define. Realize; a verb. Perform the act of realization. How does one perform the essence of realization ? I am left with belief and faith - neither of which can move beyond the veil of subject and object. I am stuck in the mind. I am offered a prize that I already AM; without the means to recognize I AM. How can the imaginary self bring the Real Self to realization? I AM lost, I AM helpless, I AM devoid of a solution.
I understand most of what he’s saying. He lost me at, “I can find enjoyment in the joys and suffering in the world”. I can’t find any enjoyment in the idea of children being raped and abused and treated horribly. Can anyone help me out on that one? I just don’t see it or get.
@Muhammad Ali I completely understand. I’m talking about the other side of the coin. I’m talking about the suffering that a child has to feel and experience when he/she is being brutally raped or killed. I know that ultimately, pain is a symptom of the body but it is very real on the level of the mind and experience.
Swamiji is such an extraordinary teacher. His intellect and knowledge of Vedanta are of the highest level, and he is easy to follow, engaging, clear, personable and funny. Thank you Swami for the gift of your talks - such a blessing to all seekers!

She simply means that Swamiji is literally doing all the heavy lifting for us and hence making it very easy for us. True ! How generous .
POORNIMA CHIKKALINGAIAH lol, Sri Ramakrishna's description of the best kind of doctor! How hilariously applied here :)))
Hahaha!
We are really fortunate to have Revered Maharaj as our Vedanta Teacher. It appears as though Swamiji (i.e. Swami Vivekananda) himself is expounding Vedanta through him. I pray to the Holy Mother for his overall well-being and long public life. Pranam to Revered Maharaj. Thanks to the dear sisters and brothers of Santa Barbara Vedanta Temple for sharing these lectures with us. Holy Mother's blessings will protect them forever.
What if what he, and they, the avidya vendantas create nothing but mental illnesses and delusions? Can you know for sure they do not.
By their fruits ye shall know them.
The talk including Zen, BUDHISM and Vedanta is Absolute. Na ye sach, Na oh sach...You are the truth..
And the beauty is that- Only You are the truth, there is nothing else other than you, you are everything and still you are only one throughout. You can't die since you didn't took birth. Hence you have no Past nor future, But Present forever.
Namaste,
Om namah shivaya.
Advaita is the most all inclusive path I have ever come across.
Thank you Swamiji.
SwamiJi's command of the English language enables perfect delivery of the knowledge. What a most comprehensive 3-part discourse. Thank you immensely, SwamiJi.
The best lecture I have ever heard. Philosophy at its best.
Feel so fortunate that I listened to this precious knowledge,contemplated on it and meditated as well.Heartfelt gratitude and pranam to Swamiji.
Phenomenal talk. Worthwhile to listen these three talk any number of times. My deep appreciations to all who made this happen.

Try Paramahamsa, or Vishrant, or Spira, or others
Also doesnt even mention difference between real and existent. Here and there are mya.
And no maharahi, krishna, Vivekananda did not find bliss in the appearance. They found it in the sat-chit-ananda which the appearance is made of. 54:00

Thank you swamiji
As ever , another wonderful learning. . thank you Swamiji
Each lecture of Swami Sarvapriyananda Maharaj covers the gist of entire Vedantic knowledge. There is lots of repetition in Vedanta verses but it never gets boring. Each time we hear “ Thou art That“ we are closer to the understanding of our own real Nature, evermore in the blissful vicinity of having been immortal. Maharashtrian saint Tukaram said “ Appearing to be made of dust, Tuka is still bigger than the sky! I have swallowed the carcass of this body which was the support of hallucinating samsara. If Tuka is appearing to be living, it is only for the benefit of others ( who are still dreaming).” Listen to Pt. Bhimsen Joshi singing this “ Abhang Anurania Thokada TUKA aakasha evada”.

Finally lord Krishna (the absolute)has come in the form of you swami sarvapriyananda and is leading us on the right path towards enlightenment.🙏🙏🙏🙏

I am kinda glad I was schooled by monks from Belur Math when I was a kid. Alan Watts was right. If religion is the opium of the masses, the Hindus have the inside dope!
Thank you, Swamiji.
A great teacher 🙏
Greatest knowledge I got you explain simple
56:45 I'm water! this example explains everything.
Thank you very much Swamiji for such lucid explanations! I consider myself really fortunate to have had the opportunity to listen your wonderful talk.
Namaskaram Guru 🙏 🙏🙏 🙏🙏 🙏🙏 🙏
This discussion about screen and projection on the screen answers a very important question that bothers advanced seekers. Do you really have to shut off the thoughts to realize the Self? No! Cognize your nature as pure awareness, which is unchanging witness to the the current of thoughts, feelings etc. You are THE TURIA of the Mundakopanishad, which

36:14 all existence is one. Swami you are awesome 🙏
Movie-Played on the Screen.of Conciousness.
To Aditya Shukla,
Maharaj wants you to feel that you are the Brahmma... it can't be defined... one has to realise it by him/ her self at all. It was, it is and it will remain. The things (every creature of universe) illuminated can be defined but not that by which things are illuminated, because it is a journey and at the end one feels the undefined oneness... whatever I realised...
Existence Existing
Beautiful
That "isness" is actually "amness" from "I am" not from "it is".. only comprehending it in that way you can be it.. because you can not know it.
Wisdom🙏
Thank you Swamiji for such a nice retreat talks as always.
My question is Swamiji, when deep rooted image of myself(Gouri) remains and Advaita knowledge of my TRUE SELF counteracts with it, I watch silently the conversations between the false and true images or selves but how to alleviate it? Should I allow Maya to do its job and False I should enjoy the game?
Tamil movie s.
Sir you have explained so difficult concept very beautifully and i understood it logically but i dont think it is going to have any effect because if a person is in suffering logic does not work there.I think the only way of liberation is to see it yourself only then the suffering can be ended
Consciousness in a mind posture is living its own experiential distortions in the form of subject and objects dualities attributed to it by its own mind posture.
🙏🙏🙏 Guruji
I ( the Knower or Pramata) knows or can distinguish between the real and unreal. It is still under the veil of Maya, because the knower (Pramata) understands the play of Maya (Power of projecting and Power of veiling). So my question is Knower is not the Pure Consciousness. Knowledge or Awareness can help in climbing the mountain and get dissolved in the mountain, where I, the pure consciousness and the mountain are the same.
Am I going in the right direction in my understanding Swami ji. Please help me.
Thank you very much for all your talks.
Gouri Chatterjee I didn't quite understand your question, but, following might help. At the ultimate level, the knower is Atma (pure consciousness, existence), the known is Atma, and the knowing is also Atma, because there is nothing else but Atma (or Brahma). However, from the viewpoint of pure consciousness (Atma/Brahma) neither the knower nor the object to be known exist. So, all this is happening only from the viewpoint of the individual self for which the world is manifest. Thus, technically, the knower is the individual self, that is, knowledge is taking place in the mind of the individual self. Thus, that which perceives itself to be an individual self, becomes the knower as the proximate subject, trying to know the object. Atma remains the real subject. In case the 'target' of knowledge is Atma itself, the knowledge still takes place in the mind of the individual self. However, when this knowledge occurs, the perception of individual self itself dissapears.

Can you attain Maha samadhi from Advaita Vedanta,
So if I am this infinite consciousness and every experience is through me, why can i only experience one specific set of body, mind and emotions intimately?
I have the same question. Did you get the answer
কি সুন্দর ব্যাখ্যা
@ 1:02:40 upon exiting formal meditation sessions of observing objects appearing to witnessing awareness, the practice need not stop, according to Dzogchen as well, we gain even more awakening by noticing "objects" appearing to presence/witnessing awareness during our daily round and in doing so be even more effective in our daily activities.
Where can I get full version of intro music?
The moment you close your eyes and have the innermost or intimate feeling of “I”, you understand the “I-ness” of “I” at once. The moment you feel the “I-ness” of “I”, simultaneously you feel that you are AWARE of “I”. Here, if you ask yourself what you are aware of, immediately you feel and understand that you are aware of your EXISTENCE at the same time. Thus, the moment you feel the “I-ness” of “I”, your realize [1] AWARENESS {of I Am} AND [2] EXISTENCE {of I Am}- simultaneously. Hence, the feeling and understanding of Awareness and Existence is instantaneous and NOT sequential. This is because, I Am- Existence; and, I Am Aware that I Am- Existence. Because I “Exist”, I Am aware of My Existence; because I Am Aware, I Am Aware that I Am Existence. I AM that I AM!
Dear Swamiji, your talk [the theoretical aspect] is really brilliant, highly meaningful and eye-opener. My humble salutations [pranaams] to you. However, I feel that your meditation part [the third part of your lecture] is not insightful enough and methodical. I sincerely feel that if you take up Bagavan Buddha’s Technique [original technique and NOT the afterward interpretations, comments etc] and purely base it on Upanishad Tattvaas, then, the indubitably the meditation will really become more powerful, meaningful and useful. This type of meditation [Upanishad Tattvaas + Buddha's Technique] can really change the world of confusion and skepticism towards Advaitha Tattva. Sorry for this comment.
Pranam Dearest Swamiji🙏
I have few questions,
1)If God is not created or destroyed
Doesn't he think himself that why he exist at all?
2)What is reason behind why God within himself create this universe what does he gain from doing this?
3)Is there any direction in which God is directed?
Koti koti naman Swamiji🙏🙏🙏
We need to make a clear difference between existential reality and perceptive reality. The screen and movie is the same thing , everything is one , just not in our experience.
🙏
58:26 how do you know that the person is still alive (post physical transition) This is our opportunity to tune into their nonphysical form and presence--- then do not dismiss the experience that will arrive.
Sadguru I believe suggested; discover the nonphysical form of your loved one while it still animates the physical ...
What’s the reason for switching to the terrible ambient microphone at the beginning of the meditation in each lecture? It happened exactly then all three times, so it can’t have been random.
❤
Swami ji, you said that only Brahm remains when universe disappears after every Cosmo cycle....but form where this Brahm came? If Brahm was always there then why can't the universe be the same ( without any creator)?...
I may be wrong but this is what I understood, The empirical universe which we experience is abide by certain laws, mainly of cause and effect. Therefore the universe is ever-changing.something which changes can't be permanent,so it will have an end. One that has an end has beginning also.also from other argument if universe fundamental nature is changing and based on cause n effect there should be a cause for production of Universe also,the first cause can never be known.more over what is changing can't be real because it cannot be eternal. So Vedanta says there is no universe nor cause and effect all this is an illusion. Why this illusion? Well there is only one Brahman, who in his nature himself has Maya by which he manifests himself as universe.maya is not separate quality of Brahman ,as fire has heat by its nature,brahman has Maya in its nature,because of which we see the universe.the Brahman is never born or never perishes.this birth n death ,cause n effect applies only in this empirical world which is again illusion created of Brahman by Maya.so we are also the manifestation of Brahman and our essence is pure consciousness.we don't exist separately from Brahman because we are his manifestation.we are manifestation of Brahman so we are Brahman, the pure consciousness. "Aham brhamasmi".finally There is only Brahman nothing is created out of it nothing can be destroyed from it because if it happens then the Brahman changes, but Brahman is changeless eternal.so this universe is not created it's mere appearance of Brahman.if we observe what Shankaracharya did here, he rejected causation there by killing the question of first cause. He brought Maya there by proving God is eternal.if Maya and negation of cause and effect theory is accepted.then there is no space for any question.all questions are answered by the advita using these arguments.
I have a question, how do you say that pure existence and pure consciousness are same?
Did u ever figure this out?
Also want to know
How does Advaita equate pure Consciousness and pure Existence ? I understand and feel conscious experience of some existence. So both Consciousness and Existence exists, I can attest. But I fail to understand how Advaita equates those two entities and makes the whole thing non-dual ??
Arun Kannan existence and consciousness are the same thing. “I am...”
In all the three sessions, when exercise starts, audio quality deteriorates. Any reason for the organizer to set it up this way.
great
In the note below, please read last sentence as under: You are the TURIA of Mandukya Upanishad. You are not the person of the waking state, nor the entity of the dream state nor even the blankness of the deep sleep. You are the unchanging Reality witnessing the three states, unaffected, untainted. The states and their contents have no reality apart from you just as the projections have no independent reality apart from the screen.
I sometimes feel that the movie this mind is creating is perhaps not interesting enough and thus this body will be terminated.
Also I’m wondering who is exactly in control. Who is the one making decisions… mind, intellect or the universe?
Vers impressive
What is the name of book he is referencing to ?
Existence; we can never objectify the existing Atman - we can only infer Its existence as the essence of existence we experience in all objective thing.
Consciousness; we can never objectify the conscious Atman - we can only infer Its Consciousness at the essence of consciousness we experience in our body, mind and intellect.
Bliss: an essence beyond my ability to define.
Realize; a verb. Perform the act of realization. How does one perform the essence of realization ? I am left with belief and faith - neither of which can move beyond the veil of subject and object. I am stuck in the mind. I am offered a prize that I already AM; without the means to recognize I AM. How can the imaginary self bring the Real Self to realization? I AM lost, I AM helpless, I AM devoid of a solution.
I understand most of what he’s saying. He lost me at, “I can find enjoyment in the joys and suffering in the world”. I can’t find any enjoyment in the idea of children being raped and abused and treated horribly.
Can anyone help me out on that one? I just don’t see it or get.
@Muhammad Ali I completely understand. I’m talking about the other side of the coin. I’m talking about the suffering that a child has to feel and experience when he/she is being brutally raped or killed. I know that ultimately, pain is a symptom of the body but it is very real on the level of the mind and experience.
