Best Vedanta guru of our time.

Swamiji is the teacher of the 21st century. He has a unique ability to express ancient truths in the language of today. Many thanks. 🙏

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 12:30 🌟 The central teaching of Vedanta is that the knower of Brahman attains the highest. 13:10 📜 Brahman is described as infinite, existence, consciousness, and limitless reality. 13:50 🤔 Knowing Brahman means realizing it as "I am Brahman," a direct experience of one's true nature. 14:16 💡 Realizing Brahman leads to transcending sorrow and achieving limitless fulfillment. 27:29 🤔 The talk explores the relationship between the concepts of God and knowledge. 29:32 💡 Advaita Vedanta, the path of knowledge, is not based on faith or mystical experiences but appeals to many, including intellectuals. 31:56 🌟 Understanding Advaita Vedanta can strengthen the belief in God and transform it from belief to direct knowledge. 32:42 🤯 The central question becomes "What am I?" rather than "Who am I?" in Advaita Vedanta. 33:11 🔍 The definition of Brahman is explored, emphasizing its Limitless, Eternal, and Non-dual nature. 34:14 🌌 Brahman is considered the highest teaching and is said to be the cutting edge of knowledge. 34:58 🤩 Existence itself is a key concept; it's an all-pervading and eternal aspect of reality. 36:11 🧐 The concept of existence, or Sat, extends beyond space and time, making it an essential aspect of reality. 37:32 🤔 While objects are limited in space, time, and characteristics, existence itself is limitless, eternal, and non-dual. 55:00 🧠 Knowledge, as in experience, is a fundamental aspect of reality and is also considered a part of Brahman. 56:26 🧘 The experience we have is of Brahman, the ultimate reality. 56:57 🕒 Experiences are not eternal; they have a beginning and an end. 57:52 💡 Consciousness is common to all experiences and is not limited in time. 58:48 🗣️ The terms "Consciousness" and "awareness" may vary in language and translation but represent the same concept. 59:20 🧠 An experience is defined as Consciousness plus an object, which is the essence of each experience. 01:00:41 🌟 Consciousness pervades all experiences; it is the "hard problem" of consciousness in machines. 01:05:26 🌌 Brahman is that which is limitless, eternal, non-dual, and exists everywhere. 01:09:20 🌞 Realizing one's identity as Brahman leads to profound relaxation and contentment. 01:11:49 🚀 The difficulty in realizing one's true nature arises from strong identification with the limited aspects of existence. 01:19:49 🚶 Sadhana, like Karma Yoga and Bhakti Yoga, helps loosen these bonds and simplifies the path to realization. 01:22:01 🌍 Understanding that all experiences, including various species, occur within consciousness can simplify the spiritual journey. 01:23:03 🤔 Consciousness is the ultimate reality. We often take the world, our bodies, and life to be real, but all of these are experienced within consciousness. 01:25:38 📖 To study Vedanta systematically, one should start with the Bhagavad Gita and consider exploring Upanishads like the Mandukya Upanishad. Incorporate components of Karma Yoga, Bhakti (devotion), and meditation into your sadhana (spiritual practice). 01:30:59 🤯 The source of ignorance in Advaita Vedanta is a subject of debate. Some say ignorance is in the individual (Jiva), while others say it's in Brahman. Ultimately, focusing on removing ignorance is more important than its source. 01:32:31 🌟 The Self doesn't depend on the body-mind. The body-mind is a manifestation of the Self. Realizing this is crucial in Advaita Vedanta. 01:44:48 🙏 Prayer can help bring solace and peace to life. It's a recognition of a greater power. How one prays can vary, but it's the intention behind the prayer that matters. Prayer serves as a personal and meaningful connection to the divine. 01:48:20 🙏 Prayer is beneficial even when you're leading a good life. It recognizes a greater power and offers support, solace, and a connection to the divine. 01:49:40 🌻 When you pray, asking for worldly things is like asking an emperor for a pumpkin. It's best to pray for qualities like peace, love, devotion, and faith, rather than specific material gains. 01:52:38 💪 The spiritual path may seem long and challenging, but remember that you are not an ordinary person. Recognize your real nature as Brahman, which offers peace and resilience in the face of grief and life's challenges.

Pronam Kori Moharaj ji apnat sree Charone,💐🙏💐🙏💐🙏Your teaching is really too goo.,

Clear, simple, understandable. A lot of religious teachers could learn from this.

As usual, Vedanta is taught in the simplest of all ways and in an attractive manner. Pranamam Swamiji for the excellent service you render to the modern listeners following your lectures.

The best explanation of Advaita Vedanta I have ever heard.

Brahman, in Vedanta philosophy, is considered the ultimate reality beyond words and descriptions. Adi Shankaracharya and other Vedantic scholars argue that language is limited and cannot fully capture the essence of Brahman, which is transcendent and beyond conceptualization. Descriptions may fall short because Brahman is believed to be formless, infinite, and beyond the grasp of ordinary human understanding. The emphasis is on direct experience or realization through spiritual practice (meditation, self-inquiry) rather than intellectual explanations.

ശാന്ത ഗംഭീരമായ ഉണ്മ. അസ്‌തമിക്കാത്ത അദ്വൈത ബോധസൂര്യൻ. എപ്പോഴും എല്ലാമായി കാണപ്പെടുന്ന മഹേശ്വരനായ പരമത്മാവ്. ജീവികളിൽ ജീവിക്കുന്ന സത്യം. കർമ്മഫലം അനുഭവിക്കുന്ന സത്യം. പ്രാണ രൂപത്തിൽ സ്പന്ദിച്ച് പ്രകൃതിയായി സ്വയം പ്രകടിക്കുന്ന സത്യം. എല്ലാത്തിനും ഉപരി ഇല്ലാത്ത ജഗത്തിൽ ഉള്ളവൻ.

I enjoy listening to him. He seems very knowledgeable. I like his humor. So glad I chanced upon him.

Millions of thanks Swamiji and pranam 🙏🙏🙏🌹

As a virtual audians my pranam to my most loved revered Guruji swami sarbapriyanandaji Sarbapriyanandaji .

You're such a blessing Swamiji!!!🙏🙏🙏

Pranams Swami ji ❤❤

Thanks from Los Angeles Swami 🙏🏼

Pranam Swamiji ❤

I have been listening to Sarvapriyanandaji maharaj for the last three years, and the subject is vedanta. I never felt it was tiring. I like to hear him and feel immense peace of mind.....Thakur, Maa and Swamiji bless us all.

Am I so blessed to hear your preach ❤

Knower of Brahman attains the heightest

As usual brilliant talk. One thing I noticed however is that the Q & A questions were very profound sans the first one.

The man who asked swamiji about Harvard reminds me of the person who went to the emperor to ask for a pumpkin 😂

I consider myself blessed enough that I came in touch with Kalipada Maharaj, introduced by swami here at Belur math. I have spent hours after hour with him, one to one, closeted in his small room learning Advaita. He used to call me fondly as Debkanti Vedanti. His passing away is a great loss to me. I still continue my studies as per his guidance.

Thank you for these lectures

19:47 What do we get by knowing Bramhan. 21:55 objective and 3 main things of Vedanta 23:04 Types of spirituality, and what kind of spirituality in Vedanta 32:38 what is bramhan- 'what' an I 47:31 a little deeper analysis 1:03:08 non dual consciousness

Consciousness+ object is experience, here Swamiji meant to say reflected consciousness because nothing can be added or removed from pure consciousness. Every experience is In pure consciousness. Reflected consciousness is from the mind and it can change depending on our vrattis.

Mundakopanishad say Verily one become Brahma n who knows Brahma He crosses all sins and transcends all grief Being free from all knots of the heart he attains immortality

Om❤

Suuuuuuuper 🙏

Swami Ji in this lecture you have mentioned that most of very educated ( Noble prize winners) don’t believe in God but I feel the opposite. A stage comes in their life when the ideas come to their mind from some higher power and then they try to prove that. They have to believe there is some super power which guides them. That is what I get from some super intelligent people.

Swami jee discourse is more classroom lecture for gaining knowledge for those who has to appear in exam to get degree not self realisation.

how sad... you get one opportunity to ask this great man one question and the only thing you can think of is to accuse him of "glorifying Harvard"... Every institution that one attends to learn or explore is great and happens as a result of good deeds you did in your previous lives. Knowledge in any form from anyone is a gift.

Am I the only one who feels there is a connection between Sat Chit Ananda and The father, Son and the holy spirit?

Pranam,🎉

Powerful 🙏

Brilliant teaching

The last question 🔥

Pranaams 🙏

Really cannot see, how the IAM is in the heart, as a knower of Brahman I do not know that the seat of the IAM is at the top of the head in the Ajna System, but Brahman does.
