Swamiji is so lucid and clear and tackles each and every question in such a beautiful manner, it seems as if emanating from a different realm!! Wonderful!!

😇अहिंसा परमो धर्म 😇 Ahiṃsa paramo dharma! ("non-harm is the HIGHEST religious principle" or “non-violence is the GREATEST law”). Therefore, only a strict VEGAN can claim to be an adherent of the eternal religion (sanātana dharma).🌱

What a culmination of thoughts. I really liked Professor Rambachan segment and the question+answer session at the end. I wish to hear more lectures as a way forward from here.

In his book, " The Universe in a Single Atom" Dalai Lama says " my confidence in venturing into science lies in my basic belief that as in science so in Buddhishm, understanding the nature of reality is pursued by means of critical investigation: if scientific analysis were conclusively to demonstrate certain claims in Buddhism to be false, then we must accept the findings of science and abandon those claims. He says that science too may learn a few things as a result of engagement with spiritual traditions, in any case that these traditions will learn, on that there is no doubt: ' It may be that science will learn from an engagement with spirituality, especially in its interface with wider human issues, from ethics to society..." If this understanding develops among people of all religion days of hatred and animosity due to religion shall go for ever. I wish in days and years to come, this world will find a unifiying spirit of humanity in wisdom of upanishads and vedanta. Regards.

The so-called "Dalai Lama" is such an ignoramus (if not outright DEMONIC). 👿 The fact that so many millions of (even more deluded) persons seem to hang on his every word is evidence of that fact, because a TRUE teacher never has more than a couple of followers, since the truth is very difficult to bear.🤫 The fact that Lhamo Thondup was awarded the Nobel "Peace" Prize - in league with demons such as Barack Obama and other presidents of the United States of America - is further evidence of his WICKED nature.👺 A TRUE teacher of Truth (such as Lord Jesus Christ) would be put to death for speaking Truth rather than being lauded by ignorant miscreants.😇 To hear an ACTUAL spiritual master speak Truth, search for: Avatar Adi Da Samraj Alan Watts Swami Sarvapriyananda Jagadguru Svāmī Vegānanda 🌱

If you ask the universe what are you doing here where I am all that there is in my own solitude existence ? The answer will be " who me? I am not me. You are imagining me in your mind and supposing that I am different from you and you are different from me. Actually I am you in your own imagination. I'm here because of you. There's no me outside of your imagination. You are always you without me in your own solitudeness.

One can’t attain the bliss without dissolving the ego so there is not a question of a Vedantin being arrogant. Ram Bachchan appears to be worrying about the wrong things

I think Sri Aurobindo's presentation of Vedanta is world-positive. Beatrice Bruteau, a follower of Aurobindo, wrote a nice book "Worthy is the World: the Hindu Philosophy of Sri Aurobindo." Swami Rama Tirtha and Swami (Papa) Ramdas are world positive, the latter referring to himself as a "Liladvaitin."

The last professor speaker is not well informed. Vedanta is not for monks only. Bhagwad Geeta is all about how Vedanta applies to a Samsari or common people.

He needs to listen to Swami Sarvapriyananda’s lectures on Advait Vedanta,, all the points he is making against Vedanta will be rendered nisguided
