The point on Capitalism is wrong and unfounded. The fact that anyone can listen to this talk, seperated by ocean and continents in a seamless manner is also a result of markets. Markets do not just create desire, They facilitate coordination of varuous plans that individuals, including their rightful swadharma actions, Prices are just signals which conveys useful information that people need about availability of resources, for whatever purpose they migjt serve. Every society faces the natural fact of scarcity, and markets are best means possible for producing abundance, Rich countries are cleaner than poor countries and the more a country grows, they easier it can transition into a cleaner society, china has become much cleaner in the present only due to expanding enough economically. A Dharmic society will naturally require the means of that produce abundance and prosperity for most of humanity and markets are the scientifically best way of achieving it, The central planning vs spontaneous order debate has settled that question in the last centuries with USSR failure, And failure of socialist run protectionist countries like India and Chian , Both of whom later liberlaised and expirenced prosperity much more than before. Moreover, Advertising is a form of communication useful information to consumers, it serves the same purpose an abstract does in case of a paper, informing the reader/consumer why they should be interested in it and spend time/money or both
This was a good lecture. Thank you. So matter has no reason to evolve towards any teleological end. True it is that a mass of particles will gravitate towards some state, when acted upon by certain impersonal (non-conscious) forces; or, will remain in the same state if not disturbed in any manner. But these are mere states and such changes in particle configuration are incapable of imitating the tremendous creative power inherent in _conscious intervention_ . Teleology would imply a degree of organization of matter that goes far beyond the mere state change mentioned above. It would involve almost at every step the choosing of a "correct" course of action from a set of alternatives. Only a conscious entity -- an intelligent mind -- is blessed with such a capability.
OMG, after 65 years of working on the God problem" finally I find you who can articulate about the context and the historic documents. A million thank yous. Please get a book out on these presentations.
Love from India
Thanks sir 🙏
Very nice exposition Will it be possible to have a lecture on how one can defend the notion of an enduring self from the criticism of neuro science? How would these traditional arguments go through when the purvapaksha is neuroscientist who claims self is an illusion created by neurons
What a gift 😍

इसका मतलब हमे जो सही लगता है वो करना चाहिए और जीवन भर अपनी बुद्धि को refine करते रहना चाहिए शास्त्र पढ़कर, जगत को देखकर, ज्ञानियों से बूझकर। क्योंकि अगर एक भी वृत्ति रह गया तो पुनर्जन्म होता रहेगा, इसीलिए शास्त्र पढ़ो, ज्ञानियों से बाद करो, दुनिया को देखो परखो।
पर मैं क्यों अपनी चिंतन शक्ति को बंद करना चाहूंगा। पृथ्वी पर कितना अधर्म है क्या इस पर पुनः धर्म स्थापित करना strive करने का कारण नहीं? आगे के जीवन में साधना कर सकते हैं।

I became lost in the maya again for a while, but I knew that listening to Professor Bryant explaining Bhakti Yoga would get me back on track. Inspirational. The Bhakti texts are everything. Thank you x
Hello. Wonderful session. Can I just ask, what does the word Paramatma mean? I understand Brahman is the impersonal absolute, and the Atman is the personal within each being. Bhagavan is Isvara with a particular form. But can you explain what Paramatma means? Is Paramatma the same as Bhagavan? Thank you so much x
@@user-gh4fj5br1c *Bhagavad Gita As It Is (1972) Chapter 2 Verse 2 Purport:* Bhagavān is the ultimate in the Absolute Truth. Absolute Truth is realized in three phases of understanding, namely Brahman or the impersonal all-pervasive spirit; Paramātmā, or the localized aspect of the Supreme within the heart of all living entities; and Bhagavān, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Kṛṣṇa. vadanti tat tattva-vidas tattvaṁyaj jñānam advayam brahmeti paramātmeti bhagavān iti śabdyate. "The Absolute Truth is realized in three phases of understanding by the knower of the Absolute Truth, and all of them are identical. Such phases of the Absolute Truth are expressed as Brahman, Paramātmā, and Bhagavān." (Bhāg. 1.2.11) These three divine aspects can be explained by the example of the sun, which also has three different aspects, namely the sunshine, the sun's surface and the sun planet itself. One who studies the sunshine only is the preliminary student. One who understands the sun's surface is further advanced. And one who can enter into the sun planet is the highest. Ordinary students who are satisfied by simply understanding the sunshine-its universal pervasiveness and the glaring effulgence of its impersonal nature-may be compared to those who can realize only the Brahman feature of the Absolute Truth. The student who has advanced still further can know the sun disc, which is compared to knowledge of the Paramātmā feature of the Absolute Truth. And the student who can enter into the heart of the sun planet is compared to those who realize the personal features of the Supreme Absolute Truth.
Very disappointed with the printing used in your book. It is so light. I had read this in a review but did not expect so light colored print. Like ordering a shirt and receiving a faded one. Great book. Bad print.
Hare Krishna! Grateful for everything you do dr. Edwin Bryant! 🙏🌞🙏
It'd be so great if u could do the series on Mimamska & Vaisheshika😭
I'll upload them too, they're in this series 😄
Thank you for this Hare Krishna! 🙏📿
Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge in detail🙏🏼
the teaching s of Shri Ramana Maharshi was the finale truth.
Which translation of the Upanishads are you using.
Not sure actually. I'll have to ask him.
For this guy Briant 😂 even Brahma sutras is bhakthi literature 😅 calls himself Advaita.
Instead of committing Vaishnava Aparadha and criticizing without thinking, one should learn with humility what the professor is teaching.

Hi - Which book / translation are you using?
I cannot thank you enough for making this content available for us. It's a fantastic supplement to your book on Yoga Sutra. You're teaching us so much.
I first encountered Professor Bryant over ten years ago from a doc called Yoga Unveiled which had many brilliant teachers Edwin’s tantalizing clip less a minute long he stated emphatically that thoughts were actually material things, somehow someway that grabbed me in such a way I contemplated and watched that clip over a dozen times, it seemed so simple yet it changed everything for me. Although I devoured his Yoga Sutra book we only got rare appearances such as Vedanta Society of New York. I am so grateful Professor finally has a TH-cam channel I know he is looking forward to his Vanaphrastha and eventually Sanyasa and we are so blessed to have these wonderful videos before his renunciation. Let us hope he can delay that for twenty years or so. Thank you so much and Namaste ❤️❤️

Is there a sequential or set course available online that we can subscribe to or partake in?
Wonderful and very enriching. Absolutely enjoyed listening to the course introduction, looking forward to future uploads. Thank you.
Brahmins who don't touch meat eaters due to them being impure are all nepotistic and corrupted Brahmins. But they somehow kept the texts and scripture alive. Sure meat eaters are wrong in their ways, but not impure or evil. Vegan is the only way forward. Dharm is only way forward.
Professor Bryant sharing his knowledge and wisdom with us, it’s a beautiful day!
Is this entire course available on you tube ?

Namaste Edwin Ji - Please use plug-in mic which helps with the audio quality, otherwise it is extremely difficult to hear with plenty of background noise.
Your book on the Yoga Sutras started me on the spiritual path. Thank you so much, I'm looking forward to your book on the Gita. Greetings from the Netherlands. 🙏
Thank you for the great explanation and teaching! What book are you reading from (that includes the sanskrit)?
Each time listening.. one hears a lesson one hasnt heard the last 5 times! NAMASTE Edwinji!
Namaste! 💓 many thanks for sharing these lectures. So blissful!
