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.

Awesome....this is a very powerful note. There is nothing beyond you...and you decide what you want to be in life. You have demonstrated that through your words and followed up with deeds. This certainly is the most empowering declaration I've ever heard. May THAT Divinity envelope you and permeate you in and through as always and may you realise that beauty soon... Om Shanthi ... Shanthi... Shanthi-hi...🙏🌻🙏

In every heart, a sacred light resides, A boundless Self, where all of life abides, A shimmering truth, eternal and profound, In unity with all, our essence is found. Through every creature, vibrant life doth flow, From the mighty oak, to the tiniest sparrow, In harmony and oneness, we are entwined, The Self in all beings, a truth to remind. We see the reflection of our innermost core, In the eyes of the world, the one we adore, The laughter of children, the song of the wind, All beings in the Self, our truest kin. As rivers and streams to the ocean return, Our hearts intertwine, as we grow and we learn, The tapestry of life, woven with love and grace, A cosmic symphony, we each have our place. In the sacred dance of the Self, we unite, An endless embrace of darkness and light, For in every being, our true nature resides, The Self in all beings, where love forever abides.

You know it's always been the goal of rajas witchcraft to alter one's state of consciousness in order to gain some real power over the course of this dream. Being something that exists in this universe, I am Evil, upon introspection, benefitting from removing all other things that exist and replacing the God that makes me die with my own ego. The dream is bigger than me. And it doesn't want me to wake up.

To watch others get beaten and tormented in front of you, and to endure the heartbreak and pain of it- this is Vedanta practice. To see the reality, to have the enemy in your sights and not pull the trigger. Am I walking away by going back to my perfect life? Is not this entire universe the "second 🏹 arrow?"

It is certainly easier to find consolation and comfort when there is some distance and it seems a sad yet remote reality; but when its happening right in front of you, and to you then - well it just feels desperate, helpless. And now that I'm safe and out of harms way, (although I know others are definitely not) I will certainly dwell upon the beautiful Gita, our beloved Swami's wonderful presentation of Vedanta text and Always Advadhoota Gita has been a most valuable favorite.

Kali with blood dripping from her tongue. Now claim Ahinsha is the Hindu doctrine while worshiping murderers and kalpanic deities. Like Sri Ram, a double murderer for Sita haran. A CHORE stealing from the neighbors, Krishna lusts at their women bathing at the Yamuna ghats as a PERVERT. KRISHNA encouraged and personally assisted the Pandavas in mass-murdering 100 Kauravas claimed to be the sons of blind Dhritarashtra and Gandhari, Statistically and Biologically jhoot and bakwas. Facts lead to the truth. The truth shall set you free. Satyemeva Jayete.

@@agnai I was an atheist for 39 years. I became Muslim after doing Ramadan last year. I love all religions and Swami Sarvapriyananda is a great teacher. I studied Ayurveda, Yoga and Advaita Vedanta. From a non-dual perspective you can't deny any religion. They all lead to the same goal; the One. Muslims need more non-dualism teachers. They are all too scared to look for answer outside their religion. They even avoid Sufism, the spiritual path in their own religion. I feel blessed that the One is guiding me in non-duality. Most people do not understand that non-duality is the right path. It is even mentioned in the Quran as the higher path, but Muslims can not understand their own Quran. All religions are true and I hope that more people search for answers in other religions. It will connect humanity in a positive way.❤

"Your expectation of something unique and dramatic, of some wonderful explosion, is merely hindering and delaying your self-realisation. You are not to expect an explosion, for the explosion has already happened -- at the moment when you were born, when you realised yourself as being- knowing-feeling. There is only one mistake you are making: you take the inner for the outer and the outer for the inner. What is in you, you take to be outside you and what is outside, you take to be in you. The mind and feelings are external, but you take them to be intimate. You believe the world to be objective, while it is entirely a projection of your psyche. That is the basic confusion and no new explosion will set it right. You have to think yourself out of it. There is no other way." --Nisargadatta Maharaj

Much love, much appreciated! Please, as we are all the same being in a multitude of forms and lives, I would like to share an insight. We exist on several levels, by degrees of cause and effect. In order to make a change to the effect, one has to work on the level of cause. Our physical level is the effect, our mental level is also effect, our spiritual level also, but they are relatively closer to the cause. If one seems to achieve a change, then it is because it was caused by the next higher level, and so on. It means that you need not worry or strive, except if you are meant to do so, and then you can't help it, anyway. You can strive, but it doesn't cause anything. Not saying you shouldn't strive. Just do what you please, or what you feel compelled to. That would be perfect.
