On Being a Hindu Monastic: Personal Journeys
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.พ. 2025
- A conversation on Nov. 4 with the three Hindu monastics visiting HDS this year, each representing a different Hindu tradition: Swami Sarvapriyananda (Ramakrishna Mission), Brahmacharini Shweta Chaitanya (Chinmaya Mission), and Sadhak Akshar-Guru: Mahant Swami Maharaj (BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha). They introduced the traditions to which they belong, explained why they joined the traditions, and what it has meant for their lives. Francis X. Clooney, S.J., Parkman Professor of Divinity, moderated the conversation.
Sponsored by the Office of Academic Affairs and the Center for World Religion at Harvard Divinity School. Made possible by support from the Nagral Fund.

Swami Sarvapriyanandaji.... you are great.... you are the manifestation of Swami Vivekananda's thoughts..... you are Light....🙏
Swamiji 's personality is magnetic. His lectures are so clear and full of the deepest knowledge expressed with impeccable word selection. Harvard will be enriched by his presence.
What I appreciate is the humour sense all of them having. I find spirituality behind their cheerfulness and Humour 🙏🙏😀
In my life I haven't ever come across such an innocent, purified Sannyasin like Sarvpriyanandaji maharaj. He needs no more flatterings.His mind is filled up with the power of Vedanta. He is another Vivekananda. Jai Hind Swamiji.
I’ve attended the lectures of Swami Sarvapriyananda when he was in the Vedanta society of West Hollywood temple. He’s a wonderful speaker and his speeches reflects the collective wisdom of Vedanta in an easy to understand way. I’m sure he’ll enlighten many.
HE (Sarbapriyananda) is none other than Swami Vevakananda ! His eloquence his deep knowledge his divine charisma all speak galore of His being reincarnation of Swamiji I bow to you my lord !
@@madhuchhandasarkar2792 Fortunately the Swami himself makes no such claim.
I am waiting to see him when he visits India. I think he was there in Swami Ranganathananda’s office in Belur Math. 🙏
This is a beautiful event. I really applaud Prof. Clooney and the Harvard Divinity School for organizing it. I have heard several of Swami Sarvapriyananda's lectures, and I was hugely and pleasantly surprised to note that he has enrolled as a student at Harvard. I am so humbled by his openness to learning ! Shwetaji is so wonderful. Her description of Sant Tukharam and the varthari tradition was so amazing. What an inspirational young monk she is! I am surely going to make my daughters watch her segment. I also want to express my admiration for Aksharji. It takes a lot of courage to go from a town in Gujarat to the Harvard Divinity School. I wish him the very best.

punit p you just hope it Bro but it won’t happen . Jesus is the way the truth and the life no one comes to father except through him.
Christianity can be understood to endorse a spectacularly cruel and senseless outcome of how certain people are judged. All one has to assume is that Hitler, a Catholic by birth, understood the gravity of his sins and confessed them to Jesus before committing suicide. According to Christian doctrine, he was awarded entry into heaven with this simple act. On the other hand, the 6,000,000 Jews that he condemned to death, and who by default failed to accept Christ, were sent to Hell. The image of Anne Frank writhing in pain while Adolf enjoys a latte presents a stark visual that there is something seriously wrong with Christian doctrine.
Similarly, Ted Bundy, a convicted murderer of over 30 young women, confessed his sins before his execution and, according to Christian doctrine, was sent directly to heaven. On the other hand, Andrew Carnegie, an atheist and philanthropist who donated $350 million ($76 billion in current dollars) to charities, foundations, and universities, was sent to Hell. It is hard to imagine anything more unjust or immoral, but this absurdity is precisely in accord with conventional Christianity.
M cool M cool hahaha 😂🤣😂😂 you are following me everywhere alright seems like you want to follow Christ bro . I’ll pray for you one day you will know the REAL GOD.🤗🤗
Copying for you
M cool bro shut your lying mouth . Hitler was not even a Christian. He was athiest and psychopath don’t bring false assumptions to me . You are talking about ted Bundy common man he had a big mental illness. He already accepted in his interviews. all these people are not Christ followers ted bundy born in christian family but that doesn’t mean he was following Christ. Jesus never said if you kill someone you will go to heaven. Jesus said if you have anger on your brother or neighbor it’s equal to murder . Now stop your false statements and get your facts right. Don’t throw your false assumptions here. Go and have some life bro.
@@jaggivasudev6355 liar you cannot accept the fact! You shut up. You are showing your christian mentality! Shame on you!
Dear Swami sarvapriyananda JI, Thank you seems so insignificant a gratitude I feel in terms of the impact you have had in my ability to comprehend this most valuable wisdom. You are the only one - in my humble, personal opinion - with this ability in this day and age. May you attain the highest in this very life.

Fantastic event! Swami Sarvapriyanandaji is one of my favorite Vedanta teacher and I have been fortunate to have a long conversation with Br. Shwetaji at Dallas Chinmaya Mission. It is so amazing that they both are studying at Harvard. Houston center is very lucky to have her.
Harvard is very fortunate indeed to have these three scholars in residence. Thank you Harvard and thank you sirs.
I am here for dear Swamiji 🙏
It reminds me a quote from Swami Vivekananda.
Ounce of practice is greater than 20,000 talks.
It is easy to be great, but most difficult thing is to let go that greatness.
As Shri Ramkrishna Dev said , use Vidya Maya to get rid of Avidya Maya and after that cross both.
🙏 To all .
Happy with them अति उत्तम नमस्कार म

Had read about it in the article published by HDS in their site...and ever since waiting for this talk be available online/on TH-cam....Thanks a ton HDS ...😊

Vedacharini Shveta, Br. Akshar's talks are inspiring .
Thanks Harvard Divinity school for putting such programme public.
I am surprised that this is 3rd century of Harvard Divinity School.
Congratulations.
Swami SarvaPriyaAnanda - an ultimate Advaita Shishya (Student) of the illumined lineage of Masters of this tradition... The true essence of Sanathana Dharma practised and tutored by a lineage of eminent GURU's/AACHARYA's.. Shri Shankaracharya's vision simply blows one's ego/mind away with his Advaita teaching.. But only to those who are ready to receive that benediction.. Pranam Guruji SarvaPriyaAnandaJI.. You are an inspiration..Salutations..
It's amazing that HDS and TH-cam/Internet has made possible people across this planet to gain wisdom and knowledge through these great Monastics.
I'm following Swami Sarvapriyananda ji for quite a while now and was sad to know that his weekly Q/A sessions at NY can't happen because he's taking a year long course at Harvard, but happily surprised to view this session.
My parents are from Maharashtra and i have read and heard about Sant Tukaram Maharaj n his teachings. It was so awe-inspiring to hear that and about the varkari sampradai from Br. Shweta Chaintanya ji. vithal vithal.
And lastly Akshar ji from BAPS was just awesome. It's 1 thing to study scriptures and be on spiritual path , but coming to Harvard, studying there, picking up English and then expressing yourself in front of such August company is at different level altogether. High regards to young Monk Akshar ji. And he has a great sense of humor, just as subtle as Swami Sarvapriyananda ji.
Jai Swami Narayan.
As a millennial South Asian American, I want to commend Harvard Divinity School and this program's sponsors for bringing forward the best and choicest representation of Hinduism to diversify and clarify today's muddled religious dialogue, both within and without the classroom, especially pertaining to Eastern religions as filtered through the West. The concept raised of "Scholar Practitioners" is so key in this period of exasperated religious ignorance spawning divisions domestic and abroad. I am certain that Swami Sarvapriyananda is among the most inarguably soundly reasoned, spiritually progressive, and profoundly insightful spiritual leaders of our time. 1000/10, highly recommend his Advaita Vedanta lectures to understand the true and underrepresented essence of not only Hinduism but human spirituality, universality of all religions, understanding of a greater reality, and a practical means to pursue spiritual ideals.
I am glad to gain experience gotten this in my feed today... Thank you..

@@jaggivasudev6355That is true. More importantly, Krishna is better known as a chore pervert flirting with 1400 gopi of all ages and a mass murderer for personally assisting the Pandavas to the mass killing of 100 Kauravas to resolve a family feud over an inheritance.Ram in rage and revenge murdered Ravana and Khubhakaranfor Sita haren. Ram asked Sita to perform morally reprehensible Agni pariksha to prove her sexual fidelity How cruel and absurd. Our Hindu bhai claims Ahinsha parmo dharma as the primary doctrine. It was Jesus who preached and practiced "turn the other cheek. Love thy neighbor not practice caste apartheid against lower caste. Satyemeva Jayete.
Karmveer Kouraw; Talk is cheap. Quoting Hindu doctrine "Ahinsha parmo dharma" while worshiping Krishna, a mass murderer personally assisted the Pandavas to the mass killing of the 100Kauravas to resolve a family feud, over an inheritance. Cruel Ram, a double murderer, in Rage and revenge killed Ravana and Khubhakaran, for Sita haran and asked Sita, mother of his two sons to perform Agni pariksha to prove her sexual fidelity as if sexual fidelity can be verified through Agni pariksha Totally Stupid. Shiva another murderer in a jealous rage beheaded his son then claimed to restore it by covering it with the head of a slaughtered elephant to gift the MURDA to worship to remove life obstacles. Good luck.

An enriching experience watching this episode. Delighted to see a young American Indian Sanayasin from Texas. Thank you Hardvard University for sharing this. Each student is unique. They are exceptional human beings from different back grounds but they all are Indian by birth. Impressed by adopted country USA a young nation interest in the culture and religion of my country India. India has lot to offer at the same time USA has the open mind to learn and accept an old culture. For me this an unique rewarding experience.Thank you Harvard University 🙏
Swami Sarvapriananda have much more experience of giving lacture in english than them...love you SWAMIJI🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏
It's so wonderful to see Hindu philosophy and monastic traditions getting mainstream attention. Hopefully the caste, cows&multiple gods stereotype goes away soon! Thank you so much Nagral Fund! Advaitha is one of the (if not the) most sophisticated spiritual and personal development systems there is! It has several layers of interpretation that become clear as one's consciousness advances.
There are several unique heirloom traditions and customs - including several from my home town - that need to be preserved.
The cows multiple gods don’t go away but the real meanings will be known to everyone and the life to be more creative and meaningful life to be liven on this planet.
Anasuya Reddy thank you.. well put.. I was like WTF when I was reading it..
Well said, go mata and cow vigilantes, caste, immense superstition and taboos, have covered the gem of advaita vedanta like a dust, it must be shaken off so that the light within can reach out.
Adwaita comes afterwards ..first we have to understand the significance of Dwaita..Human mind cannot grasp " The Oneness of everything" in the preliminary stages hence Raj yog, Karma Yog or Bhakti Yog is suggested.
Out of that multiple gods you are also one if you have really understood what you are. You are multiple as waves in an ocean. But as ocean it is one. Hindu philosophy recognizes both creator and creation as divine. Cow's milk is used after mother's milk when we grow up. Just imagine the magnanimity of a religion which gives an animal the highest respect as a mother. In fact every creation is divine....not just the cow. You can not love the creator when you downgrade the creation. Will your mother accept my respect (how ever great it might be) when i have hatred for you? Sure she will not. That is what Advaitha is all about. You can not simply wish away the duality and multiplicity as far as it exists. Love for GOD or Bhakti plays a wonderful role to bridge the gap. It is Advaitha and duality at the same time. That is the wonder.
Thank you for posting. It made my day. Listening to the three of them, I learnt that each one experiences the same philosophy in a different way and expresses it differently bringing out the beauty of diversity. Although Sadhak Akshar seemed less familiar with the western context he did well in stamping his own personality. May we get to hear from them in the future as well.
Koti koti Pranam🙏🏼
Akshar prabhuji's words are very inspiring to me I can relate somehow . But being from Bengal I am very much connected to Ramkrishna mission
Great evening transcending time and space through youtube..
I love listening Swami sarvapriyananda ji thanks for your lecture Swami ji 🙏🏻
Awesome. The ease and confidence of the vedantins in communicating to a different culture and the people with completely different religious, educational and social background. As if they encompass everyone in themselves. Vasudhaiv kutumbakam
Excellent session by Harvard Divitniy School. All three monks were excellent in articulating their thoughts , their frankness , absolutely down to earth and their brilliant sense of humour to connect with the audience. This is truly the essence of Hinduism at its best.!
Every religion have their excellent principles to get by in this transient existence in this vast unmeasurable universe. Find a suitable one that gives you peace. Everyone has their own taste.

Jaggi Vasudev Stop spewing non-sense. Jesus was a great yogi with a great message but he was dead as a doornail!
There is no God outside. You and I are manifestations just as Jesus was.
Bible tells you to live under fear of eternal hell and that you’re born sinner. What a silly way to think. As opposed to Hinduism which says we’re all potentially divine. If you just meditate we’ll realize the divinity within ourselves!

Wow.. This is a great initiative by Harvard for world religion as the saying in Sanatan Vedic Dharm goes "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam". Just a suggestion for the team out there.. It would be great if you could invite Raseshwari Devi Ji or Swami Yugal Sharan Ji to represent the Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj - the 5th original Jagadguru (Spiritual master of the world)... This would 1000% be a once in a lifetime experience for the whole Harvard community.. Cheers

@@jaggivasudev6355 you can shut up, your christ accept a killer when he choses him. But he will never accept a non killer who does not accept him. Double standard!
@@jaggivasudev6355 Namaskaram 🙏🙏🙏
M cool shut up m cool. First you need understand the basics when a person commit a crime or a sin if someone teaches him about Jesus Christ and about his death and then he need to cry for gods mercy and grace and he should repent from his sins and also if he believes in his heart that Jesus is lord and baptize in water he will be saved . It’s not like committing a murder and then accept Jesus Christ here the main thing is you need to repent from your sins.
Monasticism was not common during the Vedic ages. Almost, all Hindu Rishis were married and created great scriptures. Monasticism was started by Jains and Buddhists, which the latter Hindus adopted.
Hindus should discard the unnatural monastic mathas and missions and go back to Vedic roots of Guru Kulas, where married rishis and gurus taught. Four Hindu Purushaarthas are Dharma, Artha, Kaama and Moksha. Monks have distorted the Hindu philosophy by emphasising only Moksha and denigrating the other three important Purishaarthas. This creates an unnecessary guilty feeling among people, who listen to monks. Hindu philosophy is not based on guilt but life affirmative philosophy.

1:31:33 - that's the idea of Sthitha Pragya as described by Krishna in Gita
Silver bullet; Satyemeva Jayete. It is a claim that Krishna, a chore, pervert, and a mass murderer of the 100 Kauravas, verbal discourse to Arjuna in the midst of Mahabharata ydh could be reproduced in the 15th century reliably in printed Gita without any manuscript after many centuries and generation are ASATYA and ABSURD. Writings in Gita are based on legends. NOt on facts and truth. Think with an open and critical mindset.
Prosanto Mukerji what kind of non-sense are you spewing? Krishna did not kill them. Krishna reminded Arjuna about his duty to uphold good over evil. And the fact that Mahabharatha depicts the trepidation of Arjuna before resorting to violence reflects the beauty of ancient Indian culture. You don’t find such discourse in other ancient texts.
Mahabharata, like Vedas and other Indian knowledge systems, was orally transmitted for 1000s of years. We don’t know exactly but it’s at least 3500 years old. Perhaps a lot older.
While we appreciate the deeper philosophy in Upanishads, Gita and Advaita, why would you dismiss Mahabharata? After all Gita was part of Mahabharata
Prosanto Mukerji It is after analyzing critically through an open mind that we realize Mahabharata and in particular Gita have a great message that’s relevant today, after more than 3,500 years. You’re no smarter than all the people who lived in those years and participated in the transmission of such knowledge.
@@wokeymcwokeface1974; Please read my comment carefully. I stated Krishna personally assisted in mass-murdering 100 Kauravas. After reminding Arjun of the dharma/ duty, Krishna guided the chariot of Arjun till the last Kaurava was murdered. Krishna was an active accomplice in the Mahabharath massacre.

Wanted to just comment on gender equality issue that keeps coming up all the time. I was at world peace conference in Munich in 2011. There was a special pannel to discuss this topic about women being not allowed to be in authority positions in religions across the world. And there were Christian nuns and lady journalist who was a reporter for a long time to Vatican and there were several other ladies of eminent position. Amongst the panel was Jaishreedidi from Swadhyay parivar in India. It was a very heated debate and most of the ladies were almost fighting over the matter. But Jaishree didi made a very important point which stuck to me and I am sharing here. She said that what are we trying to equate ladies to? When we say we are equal to men, we are already accepting that they are better/superior and we are somehow suppose to catch up with them? Why is it so difficult for us to acknowledge that we are just different and there is no need to be equal to someone else? In India, this is a very accepted fact. Feminine has been worshipped in India and there is no real need for women to compete with men. They are strong and beautiful and unique in their own right. We need to stop putting men as a point of reference. The way Swami Vivekananda said, ask the women what she really wants rather than just trying to impose this idea of so called equality where men are already unquestioningly accepted as being superior. 🙏🙏
Wow ! Great 👍
All we are on earth living we are all human we have any religion we are good quality human we are created our selfs. Life is in our hands make it comfort.
