Q&A session lead by Swami Sarvapriyananda at the Vedanta Society of New York on Apr 10th, 2022. List of questions with timestamps:
00:00 - Intro
02:24 - Isn't enlightenment part of Maya?
16:05 - The witness consciousness, sat, chit, ananda, the basis of all truths, cannot perform any action. The mind removes its own veil. How can we turn this understanding into meditation?
34:10 - In the Gospel, Sri Ramakrishna says to "dive deep". What does this mean?
50:05 - What does Sri Ramakrishna mean when he tells Naren "He who was Rama and he who was Krishna was born again as Ramakrishna, but not in your Vedantic sense"?
59:30 - How do I know if I am progressing spiritually? How can one recognize an enlightened being?
01:15:25 - Why is there a tradition of fear in relation to God?

Swamiji🙏. Your presence, your speeches, you make us live the life with so much peace happiness . I can't express in words how blessed we are. Can't express how eagerly awaiting for each of your videos. Especially swamiji this Q and A. Pranams at your divine feet , our beloved Swamiji, without listening to you daily, the day is just wasted. Without your presence our life is meaningless. The best thing that has happened to me is Guru that is you swamiji. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🙏💕🙏

Dear Swamiji, as a life long overthinking atheist who shunned his hindu upbringing from early childhood, having gained material wealth & family, only to have lost it all, I finally find myself (somehow) with the teachings of the Upanishads. I always look forward to your AskSwami sessions for their intellectual insights. Because Jnana Yoga appeals to me even though I know I am making a mistake of "looking down" on other yogas especially Bhakti Yoga. However, this time I am listening to your humble explanations with tears of joy in my eyes and gratitude in my heart. Its so obvious! Consciousness is the content of all experience. The Jiva's experience of Suffering is that expression of impersonal Consciousness. Jiva is non-different to Brahman. Yet all Jivas are on their own path to see through their own ignorance. Those Enlightened souls having understood Reality work with other Jivas at the Jiva's level to help them overcome Avidya with Vidya with relatable pointings. Just like an oil rig fire is put out by another fire of a calculated explosive blast. Hence, the necessity of God, the avatars, unconditional love & devotion. My understanding is of no utility if it can't be transformed to deal with events and other jivas at the level that is appropriate to them. A test of one's understanding could be: Am I always fine? The answer is: If you have faith in yourself then Yes. My humble thanks to you and your team. Om shanti shanti shanti.

Dear friend, Thank you for sharing that. It reminds me of a shlok in Geeta where Lord krishna says that when one reaches the apex of jnana, then he or she sees the sky of bhakti. 🙏

Ignorance and Realization are both Maya - well said the grand Guru of Adi Shankara, Guru Gowdapada🙏. Obviously, yes. Text after text tells us Realization happens only with mindfulness which is part of the activity of Manas not the modern mind. This Manas is called Maya by the Advaita philosophy. Therefore, liberation is an unexplainable state of the soul which only a realized can know and he too cannot explain which has to be explained through mind to be absorbed by again a mind. This is, therefore a mystique science. I do not know, I am fully right.🙏🙏🙏
