List of questions with timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 01:32 - How is it that the self is in all beings from the chit (consciousness) perspective? 18:37 - Where is my consciousness when I am sleeping? Can I use sleep as a spiritual practice? 26:55 - Will a realized person retain their individuality after enlightenment? 40:38 - Why do we call this world false? 55:53 - What does Sri Ramakrishna mean by going into the black water (in reference to samadhi)? 01:00:30 - If we want to take up a life of renunciation, what practices should be followed?

The best part of Swami is, he never criticize other paths of spirituality.

Amazing! So knowledgeable and yet so warm and funny. I am here laughing to myself.

Love listening to Swami on a regular basis, he is so captivating and funny. Different levels of samadhi lol if only we could reach the first level 🤣

Pranam Swami Sarvapriyanandaji 🙏🏻

I'm a regular adorer of Swamiji. The best part of Swamiji is how easily and lucidly Swamiji answers the most difficult of questions. Pranam Swamiji.

Pronam Guruji!

Our Swamiji says everything so lightly, so much humour. Thank you Swamiji, vedanta and humour. 🙏

Great👍

Professor I listen you daily. I consider you as my friend.

"I will leave at that" ... exactly when I was warming up his excitement of explaining it all to us

Om Tat Sat , Swami JI

The root of our samsara is that we tend to believe that existence and consciousness are separate, and as a result we constantly seek for singularity (bliss) in every pursuit of our life. We tend to believe that there are sentient and insentient beings and that they are separate fundamentally, and that we need to search for something singular within samsara. This creates the appearance of duality of pain and pleasure. Pleasure is nothing but a temporary escape from pain, and hence both pain as well as pleasure are called suffering. Existence and consciousness are Non-Dual in reality. This means that even the search for bliss is an appearance since it is already attained and we don't need to search for it. When we realize this, we realize the infinitude of who we really are, and the reality is then simply understood to be beyond existence-consciousness-bliss. Hence Brahman has been called Existence-consciousness-bliss, or Sat-Chit-Ananda. Bliss is beyond the duality of assumed existence and consciousness as two separate realities. Existence and consciousness in reality are Non-Dual and from the perspective of the samsari looking at the jivanmukta, they appear to merge into bliss. The reality though is that not only is the duality of existence and consciousness an appearance, but so is their so called merging into bliss. Brahman alone is and is beyond time-space-causation. So existence-consciousness-bliss are just three modes of reality, of body-mind-soul. The reality(brahman) is beyond all three, yet Brahman alone appears as all three. Hence Brahman is called Sat-Chit-Ananda. Existence and Consciousness are perceived as dual, while bliss is perceived as being singular. Brahman is beyond both duality as well as singularity, yet it is Brahman alone appearing as both singularity as well as its perceived duality, making up the triad of existence-consciousness-bliss. This answers a common question, that if brahman is free of qualities then why is it described as existence-consciousness-bliss. The answer is that they are not qualities but rather three modes of Brahman. It is how Brahman appears to operate in samsara with both the duality of existence and consciousness and the singularity of merging of both into bliss, into infinitude. Brahman seen from an impersonal view cannot even be talked about, but if you want to say anything, simply describe it as existence-consciousness-bliss or Sat-Chit-Ananda. It also corresponds to Om. Om is both Saguna as well as Nirguna Brahman. Similarly, Sat-Chit-Ananda is both Saguna as well as Nirguna Brahman. The modes are saguna and the reality is nirguna. Brahman is hence beyond both samsara as well as moksha.

Thanks. All knowledge. So true in USA collection in storage .

Only with highest grace of God we get to listen to swami sarvapriyananda ji … you have also incarnated to uplift us and show us the path to knowledge…No way to express my gratitude to you and Vedanta society.. Thankful always 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Summarizing on what I think is profound learning from the last Question: 01:12:00; How to have a calm mind (and what could cause mind coloring). Especially #3 below moved me - something that has made a profound impact: #1 - Have less than more #2 - Renounce credit - Put others forward - Be last than first (helps with leadership) #3 - Matters of Opinions - seek to do the will of others to find peace (but do not compromise ethics or values) #4 - In all matters, accept the will of God

Swamiji, I see you as the guiding light at the end of the dark tunnel ✨️ Pronam Swamiji 🙏🙏😇

Tears came from Swamiji's eyes when[40:30] the man (kailash) said "I traveled all the way from India to see you".

Pranam Swamiji

Swami Ji namskar, Thank you for all your time, love, and knowledge which you have spread around like the fragrance of flowers. Thank you from bottom of my heart. Just to add, @ 54:02 you said that only Advaita Vedanta says the world is false rest says the world is true, I just wanted to add by saying that even Sri Guru Granth Sahib says that the world is false. I can pass you many Gurbani lines which say this world is a false or a dream-like bubble.

Pranam Maharaj Jai Maa Jai Prabhu Jai Swamiji 🙏🙏🙏🙏

If one considers oneself as this body, mind, complex as real and only reality then the world is as real. Until this apparent identity is not broken through, vedanta will remain as a dry and theoretical concept and is not different from any other domain of knowledge. Life in fact is a notional existence without any logic.

Pujya jaya kishori ji

Where do i, which email addresses do I write to as a participant from the internet?

What is the music in the intro?

Swamaiji, Why do you assume Advaita Vedantha means Kevala Advaita. What about other Vedantha philosphies:...like Ramanuja's, Madwar's and also Suddha Advaita(Saiva siddhantha).

Please explain with examples .

Dear team if possible instead of making one video of qna series' If you can please upload individual video by highlighting the question it would be great

How a householder not chase money, house when there are bills to pay , education of kids to support, and medical insurance and expense ? I fail to understand this concept ? How much is enough when inflation is soaring and so unpredictable. We cannot be spiritual empty stomach ?

Does plants have conciousness?

don´t wait for your question, wait for your answer ;-)

Pranam Swami Ji. If Awareness the real self is not attached to anything then why we are re-born with past Samskaras. Awareness should not be attached with past Samskaras also. Please enlighten. Thank you

Since after-death, one individual experience or karma, continues to exist (subtle/causal bodies).. does this unique perspective ever cease?

Hari Om,Pranam,Swami ji. Is the subject,object both are appearance..?But why..?I can't underdtand the cause..?Who ultimately get enlighten....

2:10 11:45 solipsism; ek jiva vada vs bahu jiva vada 14:00 20:30 RXXXXX 29:10 31:30 Ashtavakra RXXXXX 34:00 3 levels of ocean metaphor AHO AHO AHO 38:50 3rd level : peace that passes all understanding 42:30 why is world "false"? 3 systems Dvait, Vishist Advait ; Advait 46:00 Benefits 51:30 56:20 Black water

Sounds like solipsism , only one self exists . Nothings else exists . For Buddhism all are empty , none exists .

Pranam Swamji Atma and Paramatma is like Sun and it's rays__is it ok Is there higher level of thinking than this? Now I am practicing__ I am conciousnes Spreading whole Universe but not settled In it -- I am trying to reach that stage Please enlighten me. Thank you

Did you after so much gyaana see God ... If not then how would we follow you

How did we end up in this dream like state that we are working on so hard to get out of from?

It seems Swamiji has acquired a worldwide following. Is he considered the foremost exponent of Advaita Vedanta at the current time, especially in the Ramakrishna Order?

Repressing material desires like a tyrant is a good or bad habit, for spiritual growth?

Anyone know intro music?

Does anyone have a vedantic answer to my question? What exactly is the soul, the part of which survives and persists to carry out karma from lifetime to lifetime? Is the anandamaya kosha the "soul" so to speak? Thank you

Buddhists view compassion much differently from me. If I understand correctly, the idea is let your money flow out. I consider myself to be a steward of resources. I must dispense them wisely, not just give money without any consideration whatsoever. Kahlil Gibran seems to have a more Buddhist mindset about this as well. Secondly, Buddhists have the idea that they must save people from their suffering. I also take a divergent path of thought on this issue. I agree with Laozi, I do nothing, people get better on their own. Suffering is your teacher. That said, there is a time to assist with one's Presence, and there is a time to help through one's absence.

swami a person goes to heaven or hell as per his karma and if the karmas are exhausted there how does the next birth happen

Shivah Gen21.19 revaluation 4.7 poverty worthy of worship 🕉 God bless you Jesus with all liveing creatures 🙏 temple of hindu 🕉 are Bible only true God we are so close to getting peace from shatan claiming book Bible and profets not hindu no one may strike us and keep liveing no God will come up against us one day soon peace

There is no Karma of past life as there is no birth to die and no one dies as they are not born?? Karma is a helpless answer given to question for a mind suffering due to ignorance.. when one reaches zero the effects of Karma dies itself .. The minute one drops all the desires even desire to breath more then required at that moment then all karmas drop at thar instant.. Mind is the originator of desire. And Mind can help to drop desire through awareness knowledge to think as desire is actuly not required ..

The whole Advyatya Vedant is so complicated and has so many questions arise out of it than giving the answers. On side we say that the word is NOT REAL and the consciousness pervaded everything and we are in it and then we worship GOD including great saints . If I am the all pervading omnipotent everlasting and limitless , then why do we worship? Why do we worship God and Guru - it's all a DREAM ! and we need to wake from it . If this is the DREAM of the ?GOD then we will have NO FREE WILL and we have free will and that is the only way we can get out of cycle of birth and death. One can say that in HIS DREAM he has Laws and the people in it act according to that , but that would not be dream as the DREAM IS CREATED BY THE DREAMER. If the consciousness pervades everything and the connection of that with the PHYSICAL - ASTRAL -SUBTLE AND CAUSAL bodies causes out LIFE or existence then what breaks down at the time of death? Why the unit of subtle and causal body LEAVE(?) the physical body? Does it have separate consciousness when it ENTERS fertilized egg?There is a lot of word play . One has better chance of explaining all this by SANKHYA . The PURUSHA and PRAKRUTI are separate and Purusha has no qualities or GUNAS and Prakruti has no spirit but has Gunas and so when they come together the universe starts.The physical and Subtle and Causal bodies come out of PRAKRUTI but the energy or spirit comes from Purusha - may be it's refection CHIDABHAS.
