Haha. I understand what you are saying. He has also given talks in various universities like Standard and Yale. You can try once. And thanks for the consideration.
At 15.05, he was refering about Advaita Vedanta.Advaita Vedanta is a three thousand year old school of Hindu philosophy and spiritual practices. The term Advaita first appeared as the Sanskrit term अद्वैत वेदान्त, which means not-two. Advaita teaches that moksha or freedom (sometimes translated as liberation, enlightenment, spiritual awakening or self-realization) can be achieved in your lifetime
Swami means self reliant who doesn't depend on anyone in the the world, he has renounced everything in the world and he is free, it's a very difficult path but gives you ultimate freedom as well
@@utubetruthteller it is the openion and expectations you have made of someone who is called Swami. But the literal word means a man who knows himself.
Oh Cathryn, thank you very much for reacting to my Suggestion! Now you got an impression of Swami! He is a real Goldmine i can tell you. Yes, obviously he uses many Sanskrit Terms in his Talks, but most of the Time he explains them (at least Terms that are new for his regular Audience). Some of the Words he used were Patanjali Yoga, Advaita (Vedanta) and then also Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Raja Yoga and Jnana Yoga. -Patanjali Yoga is the ancient System of Concentration and Meditation based on the Patanjali Yoga Sutras (written by a Sage called Patanjali). -Advaita Vedanta means Nondual Vedanta. Vedanta means End or Highest Conclusion of the Vedas. (Veda + anta, anta = end) The Vedas are the Core Scripture of Hinduism, orthodox Hindus see them as Revelation (Shruti) and the Final Authority on spiritual Matters. In these Vedas we can find Texts called Upanishads, which contain philosophical Dialogues between Master and Student. These Upanishads are the main Source of Hindu Philosophy. So Advaita Vedanta is one (and the most prominent) System of Hindu Philosophy in which core Texts like the Upanishads and others are interpreted and explained in a "Non-Dual" Fashion. This Tradition is the Background and Backbone of pretty much all of Swami Sarvapriyananda's Lectures. -Karma Yoga means the Yoga (or Path) of Action, it deals with Unselfish Action -Bhakti Yoga is the Yoga (or Path) of Devotion - Raja Yoga is the Yoga (or Path) of Concentration/ Meditation (these Terms were coined by Swami Vivekananda) - Jnana Yoga is the Yoga (or Path) of Knowledge, which is the main Topic that Swami S. teaches. If you are interested to watch some more of Swami Sarvapriyananda, just ask .. Best Regards
Yes! Thank you for suggesting. It was so insightful. And, WOW, thank you for all your explanations. I need to sit down and read through this a few times to fully digest it!
The Bhagwat Geeta is one of the most popular scripture on spirituality. In this scripture they describe four ways of attaining self realization. Karma Yog ( Selfless work. Doing your regular job/ responsibility with an attitude of getting an outcome that will do good for others) , Bhakti Yog (Path of Devotion) Gyan You (Finding Self through Knowledge) and Raaj Yog. Finding yourself through meditation. In the chapter dealing with Raaj Yog the techniques for mediation are described. Swamiji's teaching is very similar to the technique described in Bhagwat Geeta of how to practice meditation to realize the Conciseness which is already existing in you. th-cam.com/video/6US7e6Ecw70/w-d-xo.html
Really enjoyed your comment - thank you. Sorry for slow reply. My Father has told me for many years about the Bhagwat Geeta, so I would love to read it soon. Thank you for listing those 4 ways of attaining realisation. I think I will save your comment somewhere to refer back to!
1) The Yoga Sutras of Patañjali is a collection of Sanskrit sutras on the theory and practice of yoga - 195 sutras and 196 sutras. The Yoga Sutras was compiled in the early centuries CE, by the sage Patanjali in India who synthesized and organized knowledge about yoga from much older traditions. 2) In Sanskrit texts, Rāja yoga was both the goal of yoga and a method to attain it. The term also became a modern name for the practice of yoga in the 19th-century when Swami Vivekananda gave his interpretation of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali in his book Raja Yoga.
You have been so helpful with your explanation of different ideas and concepts - thank you! I need to re-read this several times to digest what you've written!
You know it's fun meditating and doing your practice alone but sometimes learning & seeking together has its own charm. That's called "Satsang" in ancient Sanskrit. (Spending spiritual time with like minded people) and it also helps us advance on our spiritual path. Not to mention it's so fun. ☺
I love this idea of Satssang. Sometimes, in our own lives finding these like minded people can be hard, so I'm very happy to connect with you all here! Although I'm also trying to spend more spiritual time with my father who has a lot deeper knowledge of these things than me
Swami Sarvapriyananda comes from the Advaita Vedanta (non-dual Vedanta) school of Indian philosophy i.e. The path of knowledge (Gyan-Yoga). He heads the Vedanta Society of New York. Western teachers like Eckhart Tole, Rupert Spira, etc. are also Vedantists. (Those who study the Upanishads, highest philosophical teachings of the Vedas). You will find many great people in this list of Vedanists/Neo-Vedantists (non-dualists) in Western world too. Too many to list here. Do check them out. Many great Physicists, poets, etc. of the past and present too. ☺
Wow, this is fascinating - thank you so much. I've not heard this term Vedanta before; I definitely want to explore that more. And to hear there are so many great thinkers who follow these teachings. I feel like I am getting spiritual education through all your comments alone!
I read Eckhart Tolle's book "The power of Now" that is another way to concentrate your mind on what is happening at this moment, thereby excluding extraneous things. This is actually a way of meditation. An awesome book everyone should read.
Pooja(s) are done to cleanse, to boost, to amplify energies around or in animate or inanimate things or environment. If you are truly truthful to self, then what's the point of Pooja? You are the Pooja. Whatever you touch, wherever you go, whatever you do will be very pleasant. This is how I interpret, correct me if I am wrong. 🙏
Wow - I love this comment. What a beautiful way of looking at it. "You are the pooja". I am no one to correct anyone, so thank you for helping me to understand!
You can also react to and learn from Ram Das, Krishna Das. I hope you know about these folks. ☺ So much to learn and explore for everyone in this never ending journey of Seeking. 🙏🏼❣️
I have heard a lot about Ram Das, but not so much Krishna Das. Than you for suggesting! You're right, I could watch 1 million videos and there will still be so much to learn! 😀
You've to tweak and tune your attention! Focus is something entirely different, the result of increasing your attention shud be to increase your perception of things
He seems to divide people, but I agree I definitely need to watch his videos. I tried to do a reaction before Christmas but the quality did not turn out well at all, so I will do another one to upload soon. Do you have any favourite video of his?
@@spiritualreactions you can start with these two: 1) th-cam.com/video/e65ULc9Mepc/w-d-xo.html 2) th-cam.com/video/uhCUSCzcLos/w-d-xo.html Also in my perspective I don't necessarily think he divide people. People have already divided themselves by nationality, religion, skin color, race, caste etc. However i will leave it to you to decide if he divides people or not? But u should definitely watch couple more videos of his before u make your judgement. Have a good day☺️
You can also react to Dr. Sumit Kesarkar's chanel, he has a few interviews of both male and female Yogis doing their practice in deep himalayas. Just thought of sharing it with you, maybe it will create a spark helping you in your spiritual journey. 🙏🏼☺
I would love to discover more female teachers as they seem few and far between. I discovered BK Shivani, who I loved and hope to include on the channel, but more would be great. Ragnar, thank you so much for all your comments and support!
@@spiritualreactions Anandmayi Maa, Sidhi Maa, Mira Bai are some of the greatest female saints/siddhas (realised beings). Sidhi Maa was the spiritual successor of Ram Das's guru Neem Karoli Baba Ji. (A Bodhisattva, an incarnation of the divine itself in human form). I can recommend a few books to you. 1. Sri Siddhi Ma by Jaya Prasada 2. Chants of a lifetime by Krishna Das. 3. Definitely check some of Ram Das's work & books. 4. Milarepa (Tibet's great Yogi) 5. Wisdom of the Rishis (Sri M) 6. Apprentice to a Himalayan Master (Sri M) & it's sequel "The Journey Continues".

@@spiritualreactions You know this path is such, you'll discover everything you need at the right time. Anyways, I am here to recommend a few videos to you. 😅☺🙏🏼
Thank you - I have watched some Sri M I discovered through another channel and he instantly became a favourite. I would love to react to one of his vids here. Do you have a favourite or one you recommend? I've not heard of Acharya Prashant so will definitely look into into him!
@@spiritualreactions th-cam.com/video/NWg3HZWtqGQ/w-d-xo.html, this is Sri M's talk at University of Philosophical Research, Burbank, USA. Definitely one to check out. ☺🙏🏼
Adaivta means non duality is a philosophy who says there is no separation between you and the world, there is only one not two reality and you are part of that, I like you to google more about that it's called vedanta philosophy or non duality there are tons of material available there, many scientists like max plank and others have studied this and they loved it very much
Wow, thank you. That's a really clear explanation that makes more sense to me. You're right, I have lots of research to do. I have heard lots of people talk about non-duality without understanding fully what they are referring to. "...no separation between you and the world" I definitely believe that 🙏
@@spiritualreactions its really difficult to realize this, even I m on this path of non duality, its one thing intellectually understanding and another thing realizing that, one needs to meditata upon that, just imagine if the world understand this philosophy of non duality there will not be no war or conflict but only love for each other
The word you asked at 15.18min ... What actually is Advaita? The Meaning or Definition of Advaita, Oneness or Nonduality. Advaita is the teaching of nonduality, which has become best known in the West through the nondual spiritual teachings of the revered Indian saint, Ramana Maharshi.
Ohhhh, thank you for clarifying that - I had no idea. It sounds like I need to listen to some of Ramana Maharshi; of course I have heard his name mentioned a lot but yet to explore him. Do you know any good videos I could start on? Thanks again for answering my question...and making it through to 15mins 😀
@@spiritualreactions "Advaita" ( अद्वैत ) translates to Nondual . Referring to & denying the dualness of "I" & the Universe (Bhraman , loosely ) & hence saying they are the one & same. Just Google "Advaita"
@@spiritualreactions you are welcome there are Lots teachers who really fantastic to watch them being Hindu i wasn't aware too however my father used teach all Basic Veda mantras but i am not very good at them. Now i am getting interested day by day bex of reading.i love reading and studying
Yes, me too. Love to read! It's often the way when our parents teach as things as younger children we are not interested, but I think we come to everything at the right time for our understanding
@@spiritualreactions Sanskrit itself explain how much a person can be used for spritual Work. All mantras will improve not only you but your surroundings too.
@@spiritualreactions my father or according to Sanskrit if you want to experience a great blissful mind wake up in the morning it is called (Bhraman muhurat)= 3 am to 6 am time in the morning is called Bhraman muhurat in this time you should recite mantras from Sanskrit. I will suggest you to buy a Book is called Nitya Karma padhi in Sanskrit.
Buddha didn't buy the idea of non-dualism, sankhya or any indian philosophy. He completely dismissed Veda, Vedic Teaching or Vedanta or its God and Caste-systems (according to early Buddhism), Hindu brahmins made him as Hindu AVATAR ... thats how hindu philosophy work, making mind-made random philosophy and speculation. Buddhism is not a philosophy, but psychology. Buddha rebelled against vedanta in his entire life, people like Sarvapriyananda and his teachers Vevekananda and Shankharacarya were always against Buddha's teaching. They talk about Tibetian Buddhist which is far from Buddha's early teaching. Theravada Buddhist has the record of Authentic Early Buddhist Text. People like sarvapriyananda have destroyed the Gem of Buddha's teaching from its birthplace India. it doesnt make sense to equate buddhist idea of non-self to hindu true self or God
This is interesting, but I think beyond my understanding right now. I do not know really anything about Buddha's teachings. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
@@spiritualreactions Basically Buddha says "There is no soul/spirit, it's only the consciousness. Once you die, you die that's it, nothing remains afterwards." He teaches his way to attain peace, happiness, nirvana/liberation etc. by getting rid of dukkha (loosely translated as suffering) by his 8 step path. While doing so he draws a from philosophies of Yoga and Sankhya the concepts of meditation/concentration etc. but rejects the authority of Vedas and Upnishads. He is absolutely silent on the God, purpose of existence and other metaphysical ideas etc. He says that those questions are useless for common people and doesn't help to end their suffering. The path he's suggesting is a 'middle path' which is beneficial for all to attain happiness and fulfilment, and not only for few higher seekers. v/s Vedanta says "There is a universal soul/spirit either separate from ourselves (dualism or dwaita) or same as us (non-dualism or adwaita) and the goal is to achieve that knowledge and attain liberation/moksha." They talk/debate about all the metaphysical ideas in minute details as a way of knowledge. For them the Vedas and Upnishads are the ultimate authority. But unfortunately this way is very difficult for common people, and is exclusively for sanyasis (those who have left everything to become monks & seek higher knowledge). I hope this helps.

@@spiritualreactions th-cam.com/video/NWg3HZWtqGQ/w-d-xo.html, this is Sri M's talk at University of Philosophical Research, Burbank, USA. Definitely one to check out. ☺🙏🏼
Adaivta means non duality is a philosophy who says there is no separation between you and the world, there is only one not two reality and you are part of that, I like you to google more about that it's called vedanta philosophy or non duality there are tons of material available there, many scientists like max plank and others have studied this and they loved it very much
Wow, thank you. That's a really clear explanation that makes more sense to me. You're right, I have lots of research to do. I have heard lots of people talk about non-duality without understanding fully what they are referring to. "...no separation between you and the world" I definitely believe that 🙏
@@spiritualreactions its really difficult to realize this, even I m on this path of non duality, its one thing intellectually understanding and another thing realizing that, one needs to meditata upon that, just imagine if the world understand this philosophy of non duality there will not be no war or conflict but only love for each other
@@utubetruthteller it's so powerful, but you're right, it's one thing to understand it intellectually and another to embody it
@@spiritualreactions if u need any help about that pls let me know
Hey how are you?
Hope you’re doing good ❤️
You're so kind. I've been unwell :( but just uploaded a new reaction!
The word you asked at 15.18min ... What actually is Advaita?
The Meaning or Definition of Advaita, Oneness or Nonduality. Advaita is the teaching of nonduality, which has become best known in the West through the nondual spiritual teachings of the revered Indian saint, Ramana Maharshi.
Ohhhh, thank you for clarifying that - I had no idea. It sounds like I need to listen to some of Ramana Maharshi; of course I have heard his name mentioned a lot but yet to explore him. Do you know any good videos I could start on? Thanks again for answering my question...and making it through to 15mins 😀
Before "Advaita" , after "Advaita"
The word is "Advaita"
How would you translate this word? Or does it not translate well to English?
@@spiritualreactions "Advaita" ( अद्वैत ) translates to Nondual .
Referring to & denying the dualness of "I" & the Universe (Bhraman , loosely ) & hence saying they are the one & same.
Just Google "Advaita"
Thank you 🙏 I much prefer your explanation to Google’s 😅
Patanjali was great Rishi who taught Yoga or Yogi science
Ahh thank you, I didn't know that!
@@spiritualreactions you are welcome there are Lots teachers who really fantastic to watch them being Hindu i wasn't aware too however my father used teach all Basic Veda mantras but i am not very good at them. Now i am getting interested day by day bex of reading.i love reading and studying
Yes, me too. Love to read! It's often the way when our parents teach as things as younger children we are not interested, but I think we come to everything at the right time for our understanding
@@spiritualreactions Sanskrit itself explain how much a person can be used for spritual Work. All mantras will improve not only you but your surroundings too.
@@spiritualreactions my father or according to Sanskrit if you want to experience a great blissful mind wake up in the morning it is called (Bhraman muhurat)= 3 am to 6 am time in the morning is called Bhraman muhurat in this time you should recite mantras from Sanskrit. I will suggest you to buy a Book is called Nitya Karma padhi in Sanskrit.
Buddha didn't buy the idea of non-dualism, sankhya or any indian philosophy. He completely dismissed Veda, Vedic Teaching or Vedanta or its God and Caste-systems (according to early Buddhism), Hindu brahmins made him as Hindu AVATAR ... thats how hindu philosophy work, making mind-made random philosophy and speculation. Buddhism is not a philosophy, but psychology. Buddha rebelled against vedanta in his entire life, people like Sarvapriyananda and his teachers Vevekananda and Shankharacarya were always against Buddha's teaching. They talk about Tibetian Buddhist which is far from Buddha's early teaching. Theravada Buddhist has the record of Authentic Early Buddhist Text. People like sarvapriyananda have destroyed the Gem of Buddha's teaching from its birthplace India. it doesnt make sense to equate buddhist idea of non-self to hindu true self or God
Don't spread ur hate
This is interesting, but I think beyond my understanding right now. I do not know really anything about Buddha's teachings. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
@@spiritualreactions Basically Buddha says "There is no soul/spirit, it's only the consciousness. Once you die, you die that's it, nothing remains afterwards." He teaches his way to attain peace, happiness, nirvana/liberation etc. by getting rid of dukkha (loosely translated as suffering) by his 8 step path. While doing so he draws a from philosophies of Yoga and Sankhya the concepts of meditation/concentration etc. but rejects the authority of Vedas and Upnishads. He is absolutely silent on the God, purpose of existence and other metaphysical ideas etc. He says that those questions are useless for common people and doesn't help to end their suffering. The path he's suggesting is a 'middle path' which is beneficial for all to attain happiness and fulfilment, and not only for few higher seekers. v/s Vedanta says "There is a universal soul/spirit either separate from ourselves (dualism or dwaita) or same as us (non-dualism or adwaita) and the goal is to achieve that knowledge and attain liberation/moksha." They talk/debate about all the metaphysical ideas in minute details as a way of knowledge. For them the Vedas and Upnishads are the ultimate authority. But unfortunately this way is very difficult for common people, and is exclusively for sanyasis (those who have left everything to become monks & seek higher knowledge). I hope this helps.
