Thank you so much for this reaction video! 🔥 I'm glad you are focusing on Sw. Sarvapriyananda's videos. He explains things fairly clearly. I don't mean to distract you from your focus on Sw. Sarvapriyananda, but Sw. Tadatmananda has a short video called "Advaita vs Bhakti" (non-duality vs. devotion). He very clearly explains Advaita, duality, and the 3 levels of reality. He gives examples. I'm on my 3rd viewing of that video... it has so many interesting concepts!
Thank you so much. I remember you from earlier last year commenting on my vids I think, so thank you for returning and showing support to the channel it's really appreciated
@@spiritualreactions Thank you! I think you're great. By the way, i just recently came across another spiritual Teacher "Maharishikaa Preeti". It's a Woman and she has a different approach. Maybe you want to check her out.. Have a good Evening 😊
As a non-initiated person in knowledge of Vedas or Upanishads, the way I understand the Vedic concepts are through metaphors from real life and other subjects:- 1. Dualism (Dvaita):- Dualism represents Mind-Matter, Jiva-Jagat, Action-Reaction, Cause-Effect, Karma, Atma-Parmatma, Creator-Creation, Demand-Supply, Purity-Pollution. 2. non-Dualist (A-Dvaita) metaphors can be: a. Mono-ism:- Belief in a Singular (Brahman/One-God/Alpha), Monotheism, Fate, Assimilation, Singularity. b. Pluralism:- Belief in Multiple, Polytheism, Triads (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva)(God, son, HS), Relativism, Democracy, Inter-connectedness and Inter-Relationships. 3. Nastika: Pagans, Atheists, non-believers, anti-thesis, Null-Hypothesis, Chaos, anti-Christs.
According to the Muktikopanishad 108 Upanishads are divided according to four Vedas are as follows: 1. 10 Upanishads from the Rigveda 2. 19 Upanishads from the Shukla-Yajurveda 3. 32 Upanishads Yajurveda from the Krishna- 4. 16 Upanishads from the Samaveda and 5. 31 Upanishads from the Atharvaveda. The Principal thirteen Upanishads, related to the Vedas are: (A) Upanishads of the Rigveda : 1. (1) Aitareya Upanishad, 2. (2) Kaushitaki Upanishad (B) Upanishads of the Shukla-Yajurveda: 1. (3) Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, 2. (4) Isha Upanishad (C) Upanishads of the Krishna-Yajurveda: 1. (5) Taittiriya Upanishad, 2. (6) Katha Upanishad, 3. (7) Shvetashvatara Upanishad, 4. (8) Maitrayaniya Upanishad (D) Upanishads of the Samaveda: 1. (9) Chandogya Upanishad, 2. (10) Kena Upanishad (E) Upanishads of the Atharvaveda: 1. (11) Mundaka Upanishad, 2. (12) Mandukya Upanishad, 3. (13) Prashna Upanishad.
From reviewing your list, it's the Maitrayaniya and Kaushitaki Upanishads that seem to be the two missing from my book of the Upanishads. I wonder why those two?
Most people use Adi Shankaracharya's commentaries on 10 Upanishads (Mukhya Upanishads) which is why Maitrayaniya and Kaushitaki Upanishads are not taken. It is very hard to understand Upanishads without commentaries.
13:55 : shravana, manana and nidhidhyas Shravana : to listen and understand and ask doubts Manana : to contemplate on whatever knowledge you comprehend through shravana.. Nidhidhyas : to aaply the knowledge in reality through practice 19:03 : why did he give an example of theatre cinema, is because, while watching a movie for 2 hours we forget the actual reality of movie, we cry, get feared, we laugh along with the characters and the situation in the movie but when we realize it is just a screen with some pictures getting formed that whatever is happening on screen is not real, it is just a illusion created on 2 dimensional screen.. In the light of the source coming from behind... That is realization
Thank you so much for those definitions. I will have to copy that down somewhere to save it for future. 19: 03 ...wow, yes that's such a good analogy. Thank you for explaining. I think I have heard him or someone else give that example before.
Upanishads contain the highest authority on which the various systems of philosophy in India rest. So Vedanta Philosophy is directly related to the Upanishads. The Upanishads, the Bhagavadgītā and the Brahma Sūtras are the foundational scriptures in Vedanta. All schools of Vedanta propound their philosophy by interpreting these texts, collectively called the Prasthānatrayī.(Prasthānatrayī), refers to the three texts consists of: 1.The Upanishads known as Upadeśa Prasthāna, or the Śruti Prasthāna. 2.The Bhagavad Gita, known as Sādhana Prasthāna , or the Smṛti Prasthāna. 3.The Brahma Sutras - Sūtra Prasthāna or Nyāya Prasthāna or Yukti Prasthāna (logical text) The main schools of Vedanta are: 1.Bhedabheda or Dvaitadvaita (difference and non-difference) Nimbarkacharya's commentaries are the basis of this philosophy. 2.Advaita (non-dualism) Adi Shankaracharya's and Gauḍapādācārya's commentaries are the basis of this philosophy. 3.Vishishtadvaita (qualified non-dualism) Ramanujacharya's commentaries are the basis of this philosophy. 4.Tattvavada (Dvaita) (dualism) Madhvāchārya's commentaries are the basis of this philosophy. 5.Suddhadvaita (pure non-dualism) Vallabhācārya's commentaries are the basis of this philosophy. 6.Achintya-Bheda-Abheda (inconceivable difference and non-difference) Founded by chaitanya mahaprabhu. All prominent Vedantic āchāryas, including Shankaraāchārya, Bhaskarāchārya, Ramanujaāchārya, Madhvaāchārya, Nimbarkaāchārya, and Vallabhaāchārya wrote commentaries on these three sources (Prasthānatrayī) All Vedāntins/teachers agree that scriptures (śruti) is the only means of knowing (pramāṇa) regarding spiritual matters (which are beyond perception and inference).
Probably the best follow-up video would be "Dvaita, Advaita and Vishishtadvaita Vedanta EXPLAINED" on the channel Bhakthamrutham. Swami Paravastu Varadarajan explained those concepts there with much clarity. 🙏
Enjoyed the video. Learnt a few things. Find scriptures a bit daunting. Kudos to you for getting into them. I follow cocktail approach a bit of gyan marg (knowledge), bhakti marg(devotion), raj yoga (meditation) and karma yoga (service). Works better for slow learners like me 😅
1.According to Advaita Vedanta (non-dualism), Ātman(pure self) is identical with Brahman and there is no difference. 2.According to Dvaita (dualism), the Jīvātman is totally and always different from Brahman / Īśvara. 3.According to Viśiṣṭādvaita (qualified non-dualism), Jīvātman is different from Īśvara, though eternally connected with him.The oneness of the Supreme Reality is understood in the sense of an organic unity (vishistaikya). Brahman alone, as organically related to all Jīvātman and the material universe is the one Ultimate Reality.
I think all hindu has a temple room , room for god, (thakur-ghor), in our house, even the poorest has a significant amount of place for god in their home... I go to the temples very few times, although community temple in my community is few feets away from my home.. (I think it's the most common case for hindus)
Nice video Cathryn well done 👍 But let me be honest please don't eat or drink during making video people misinterpreted that you doing those videos only for popularity people thinks you don't have focus on whatever you watching and doubts on your interest in spiritual teachings
There is no such thing in Vedas , they were written just 600 yrs ago, oldest copy of Ved is from 1464, oldest bible is 2000 yrs old (Dead Sea Scrolls), oldest Buddhist manuscripts and rock inscriptions are 2400 yrs old, Oldest Quran in within 100 yrs of death of Muhammad, Also none of the things he claimed actually exist in vedas, it is mostly about Indra Worship.
You can be more regular with uploadinyif you are not facing any time constraints. It would be great for those with the similar interests. There isn't death of spiritual content either. Thank you.
@@spiritualreactions that's understandable. Looking after the kids being a mother is the 'parmodharm' which translates to highest duty bound spiritual action. 🙏🏻

1.Shravan (listening to the teachings of the Vedanta)
2.Manan (contemplation) 3.Nididhyasan (meditation)
It is the process of self knowledge.
Yes! Thank you! Great to have these written down, I really appreciate it. 🙏

Hi why you stop
Hey Im here again to see you early morning 😅 you are looking beautiful in this reaction.
Thank you for checking in so early!
@@spiritualreactions your welcome❣️
Gita is Upanishads explained by Krishna in condensed manner so, both are equally important.

🔥 That was great! I know it can be difficult to grasp all these Concepts and Words, but it's worth it and very interesting.

Ahhh that's interesting to know. Thank you for sharing. I like that you don't have to leave the house to worship; it seems the way it should be

you should do what you like (need!)
True.
Upanishads(Vedas) is given by god, Gita is also given by God, So it's the same ultimately. 😅
