Beautiful piece of work. Thanks Swami. Blessings on all you take on. Your last words re Sri Ramakrishna seeing this world as a mansion of mirth brought these spontaneous 'verses' ; It's a Gita, it's a Song, it's a Mansion of Mirth, It's a total trip from death to birth; let me rock 'n roll, let me shine on through, this (crazy) world of black and blue, take it to the limit, go all the way, then come on back and live another day; or stay where you are, it's its what you want, just make it happen, be an Un-Daunt. thanks again Swami.

How beautifully you have explained the word Religion. It was wonderful to hear over and over again. We are all blessed to hear you. Joy Thakur Joy Maa. Pronam neben Maharaj
IMO what both/and really means is, not is God both personal and impersonal, He is many other things besides, and this is what I believe will form the bulwark of religious inquiries going forward,in the coming Satya Yuga, and this will finally establish Thakur’s true worth in the spiritual canon. It’s immaterial whether he was really the greatest of all Avatars, and would in fact go against the very grain of his teachings,which emphasised the equal salvific efficacy of all paths, but his real speciality was the playing of melodies on the spiritual flute, and not sticking to a single tone all the time, which is why all aspirants who came to him thought him to be one of their own, the Vaishnavas thought of him as Chaitanya incarnate and so on. But this pithy statement, that God was many things besides is something so intriguing that it will continue to blow the mind of many a spiritual aspirant to come. And one can’t even aspire to come to grips with such a notion however hard one might try, for how can something be neither of form nor formless, it’s the most counterintuitive notion one has ever come across, maybe the coming Avatar will build on that. That reminds me, the quantum particle itself is neither of form nor formless, it exists as a linear superposition of Fock states, neither of which have a true representation as a tangible object in spacetime, and since each of them is just related to the vacuum state by a Fock space rotation, they are just Brahman from a different perspective. This is why true Brahmajnanis see everything suffused with consciousness, which is nothing but Brahman. This is why each of us is suffused with consciousness and is none other than That.
Can anyone submit into this comment section the correct way to spell Swami's favorite Bengali / Sri Ramakrishna phrase mentioned at min. 38:15 or thereabouts ... sounds like ... tiniononto potononto ...please and thanks 🙏
Tini awnonto, pawth o awnonto ('t' as in theory minus the h, 'aw' as in raw/paw...correct Bengali pronunciation 🙂🙂) - meaning - He/She is Infinite and paths leading to Him/Her are also infinite
No actual they can't because of a scriptural reasons. Because Islamic book the quoran says "no god worthy of worship but allah" and the Christian Bible declare "gods of gentiles (non jews) are demons" so no they'll never accept it
@@user-hp4gl8vx8e no that is fundamentally false what he said is ultimately both christianity and islam bows before the divine mother and after that both the missionary and the sufi that had shown him these later became his devotees
@@afinn7771 No please go and actually read the gospel of ramakrishna before commenting thank you, ramakrishna specially wanted against thinking only your way is true and all others as false. Throughout the gospel he repeatedly emphasised the harmony of all religions and how they can all bring you to god. That was literally one of bis main teachings
@@afinn7771 “I have practised all religions-Hinduism, Islam, Christianity-and I have also followed the paths of the different Hindu sects. I have found that it is the same God toward whom all are directing their steps, though along different paths. You must try all beliefs and traverse all the different ways once.”
That's what I like about these lectures. I never get bored by the content just because it's repeated. Rather it helps to assimilate such knowledge even further.
You said Greatest of avatar, why are you doing all this, i mean why there is comparison, why you are placi g superior and showing others like krishna inferior ...sir stop doing this...All is gold, Brahman alone is...dont deviate from the original !
I just feel happy to listen to swami medhananda. Both of us love sri ramakrishna!
Swamiji is brilliant in his exposition. I am delighted to hear him link Sri Thakur & Swamiji with Maharishi Aurobindo. 🌷🪷🙏🏼

What does it mean for God to be personal ?

As Hindus and who appreciate Sri Ramakrishna we acknowledge the truth of all religions but Abrahamic religions do they accept ?
No actual they can't because of a scriptural reasons. Because Islamic book the quoran says "no god worthy of worship but allah" and the Christian Bible declare "gods of gentiles (non jews) are demons" so no they'll never accept it
Sri Ramakrishna practiced all religions and said all are valid and can lead to god including Christianity and Islam
