As your students, we know that consciousness is the underlying reality in all states . Thank you for your teachings. You are a blessing to me and thousands of others. 🙏

Guruji you have clearly explained what is Tureeya. It is not the fourth state of mind but it is the only consciousness (Atma) that underlies and experiences the 3 states of mind- wakefulness, dreaming and deep sleep but remains unaffected by these 3 states. Thank you Guruji.

Thank you Swami! Discovering you and leading us to read the Upanishads changed my life!

What an exquisitely clear and concise explanation of Turiya… You are truly a gifted speaker and teacher. Thank you 🙏

This is a wonderful teaching. I feel like I at least *began* to grasp this concept, Turiya. Thank you so much, Swamiji. You radiate such kindness and intelligence.

Swami love

Most lucid explanation of turiya. Blessed are the listeners

Thank you so much for your clear, concise teachings Swamiji! I was studying Buddhism for awhile, but after listening to your teachings and studying some of the texts I realize that it's Advaita Vedanta that really resonates with me and speaks to my heart and soul. Namaste! 🙏

Wonderful Lesson, Thank you Swami, it did not just bring one veil of ignorance down, but the Movie Metaphor has set the 'Stage' ☺ for me to withstand difficult circumstances that pass, just like a movie. This is a Gem 💎a truly transcendental exposition, to which I may just linger for a little while, just as we linger in a garden of a multitude of flowers absorbing its wonders.

Grateful to you for the profound enlightenment. The metaphor of the mind room can fit well the entire three states of the mind and turiya. To sum this up Consciousness is the awareness of the external world created by the mind in the waking state. Consciousness is the awareness of the internal world created by the mind in dream state. Consciousness is the awareness of the absence of activity within the mind in dreamless sleep. Turiya is pure consciousness, detached from the mind, it’s consciousness reflected upon itself.

A very lucid description of the Ekameva Turiya state which is also described in the Narayana Suktham as the ever shining flame in the Heart Chakra .

19:08 Holding that crystal there, is where I'd seen a 15" white dwarf star leave my father's chest and three years later when my newborn grandnephew was thrust into my arms, I'd felt the same energy signature I had felt upon his soul's departure. I was the only one squeezing his hand in an attempt to let him know we were there next to his side.

Pranaam Swamiji, thank you for this beautiful video. I remembered Ganapati Atharvashirsha - it says 'tvaṃ avasthātra̍yātī̠taḥ' (त्वं अवस्थात्रयातित:).🙏

Our mind is like an infinite field of different possibilities made out of pure consciousness. In order to know the outside world, consciousness must localize and collapse itself into the form of our mind to create and know the world through our senses! Therefore, there is only consciousness!

Thank you guruji! This is the most profound explanation of Turiya! 🙏🙏🙏

this teaching is an amazing gem, a light on the dark path in this kalyug period

May the fourth be with you! ❤

Thank you Swamiji for a wonderful video with excellent explanation of turiya. I completely agree with your pointers that turiya is not a state of consciousness but it is underlying reality. Substratum and our true nature. I also trust Sri Ramana Maharshi that it is a place beyond turiya, which is The Source, Complete Unknown and not describable in any sense. Turiya would be Ishwara/Saguna Brahman and The Source would be Niguna Brahman. Turiya appears with the first thought I am, beyond that in The Source I am is completely dissolved. Instead the closest to that "state" is : IT IS.... That is my understanding so far. Love and blessings to you! Om Shanti! 🕉🙏

The way the rishi described it in the Mandukya Upanishad (according to your text description with the video) is exactly how I experience(d) it: my dream state follows the same physical laws as the wake state. They follow the same logic, and are therefore similar or identical And the seventh chakra which is the thousandleafed lotusbloom of pure light as the pinnacle, but there logic stops and you enter a strange world of superlogic and timelessness: A Parmenidian oblate spheroid of pure one consciousness where all knowledge is united and one. It was very strange but awesome at the same time, couldn't stop being amazed at this minds capacity, but didn't dare enter too far into it; it was beyond my comprehension so I was a little scared to enter. I dipped my toe in it to see how it worked and then left

So deeply and wonderfully explained! Thank you so much Swamiji 🙏🙏

This is one of the best I've seen on this subject !

Best description of Turiya. Thank you very much Swami ji. We are very blessed to have you among us.

I had not heard a clearer explanation than this. Thank you so much! ♥️🙏🏽

You are a gift to the seeker. May the Almighty shower his grace on you always. 🙏

Awareness according to awareness is duality is all about. It takes awareness to take itself not itself but something other than itself. Ultimately it is awareness vs awareness as far as the whole mess is about.

a gift as always swami tadatmananda! thank you for the explanations and examples as well as great editing. Also the final note on becoming a blessing to others is what you hold true

Good analysis and negation of Maharshi Mahesh Yogi's 7 states of consciousness.

Thank you so much. Love and blessings.💗🙏

Hariom swamiji, I could feel swami dayananda"s lightning splash in every words. Hail guru parampara. Thank you so much.

Swamiji, Thank you for such a simple yet profound explanation of Turiya. We are blessed indeed!

Guruji your example of comparing a movie screen for explaining the 3 states of consciousness- wakefulness, dream state and deep sleep is super. I have high regards for you.

Thanks very much, dear Swamiji, for this very clear, traceable and helpful teaching!

Dear Swamiji, thanks again for such a clear and uplifting explanation🙏🏻

Thank you so much Guruji

You’re a great teacher, Thank you sir for your teachings to us.

Thank you Guru ji for explaing this mystic realm so concisely and clearly

Very interesting talk,I have been practicing TM since 1978 and find it very powerful ,but simple to do,I experience a deep awareness that is very enjoyable,no thoughts, at least I am not aware of any, not even an I , because that is a thought of course, the process involves an actual physical experience too,the whole nervous system especially in the arms and legs starts to tingle to the point of heat but it doesn't hurt, in fact its very pleasant I presume this is what MAHARISHI says is deep stress release.. trapped negative energy,although one is supposed to practice for about 20 mins, I have experienced wanting to go on for longer as its so enjoyable, a peaceful blissful state so I do sometimes,normally when the 20 mins is up,a thought comes in to stop the meditation ,that i find that extraordinary as when practicing TM correctly there is no sense of time.,when the thought comes to stop and I look at the clock I simply cant believe that 20 mins has gone by, its more seems like a couple of mins if that. As for the other levels of Consciousness I feel God can do anything and these levels may be possible....but how would one describe them if the I is no more? in fact that applies to the Turiya level too.but we try. Maharishi says that regular practice of TM in which one experiences the "4th level Turiya " that being our true nature will permeate our other levels of consciousness, over time someone in this state in waking consciousness would be an extraordinary Human Being.....Self Realised....the idea of a person or name and form as ones identity would be no more,there never was a person..funny in fact. I have no connection and never have with the TM movement as I don't really like the financial side of it. But Maharishi says if one pays for something he is more likely to want something back and carry on,TM like any practice ,it needs the discipline to do regularly ,but as I said Tm is so enjoyable one looks forward to it,afterwards one feels like its been a mental and physical bath and very refreshing. FOOTNOTE. As I said I have no connection with the TM movement,I just wanted to practice the Meditation as it promised the 4th state Turiya, something I had experienced spontaneously aged about 8 called Satori in Zen ,I had no idea (literally )what was happening ,all I can say it was glorious happiness, WIDE AWAKE , NOWNESS SO MUCH LIGHT, not my usual fearful state at all ,It lasted around 4 hours,that was 70 years ago and I have never forgotten it, the I that was me vanished..... One more thing about Maharishi which may point to his stature. I learnt Tm in 1978 and had no connection with the TM movement gradually I forgot about Maharishi in 2008 5th February whilst at the computer first thing surfing on YT Maharishi came into my mind, I wondered if he was still alive? so I searched on YT ,THE FIRST POST I looked at said that HE HAD LEFT HIS BODY THAT VERY MORNING. ! no coincidence,somehow there was a connection........COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS or some other level....Amazing.

You are a great teacher and Guru. Thankyou for the wisdom.

Thank you Swami! Amazing video!

Thank you Swamiji 🙏

Very precise,concise and clear explanation 🙏

Namaste Swamiji, Thank you for another wonderful teaching. I admire your compromise to convey the knowledge of ancient rishis as it has been transmitted to you by your guru. It is always easier to adapt these teachings to the demands of spiritual (western) seekers, but you never do this. And you also give me an example to follow in the way you make it, so respectful. I was looking for a way to saying this in my language, and I see that it is the same in English “separate the wheat from the chaff”. Pranams 🙏🙏🙏

Much love ❤️

Namaste Swamiji You have explained the Turiya so well . Not the fourth state but pure consciousness itself. I see all your videos again and again . I am definitely not enlightened but your videos are at least making me aware of who I am. I pray to the Almighty that as he has guided me towards you he guides me further and makes my ignorance go away specially with your guidance. Thank you Swamiji

Very clear, concise, and humble teaching. Impressive!
