ABOUT VEDANTA
Vedanta is one of the world’s most ancient religious philosophies and one of its broadest. Based on the Vedas, the sacred scriptures of India, Vedanta affirms the oneness of existence, the divinity of the soul, and the harmony of religions.
ABOUT US
Vedanta Society of New York is affiliated with the Ramakrishna Order of India. In fact, this is the Order's first Center started by Swami Vivekananda, in 1894. It was a historic event, for the seed of the world-wide Ramakrishna Movement was sown here in New York over a century ago. Swami Sarvapriyananda is the present Resident Minister and Spiritual Leader of the Vedanta Society of New York.

Isnt this the best video in the whole of TH-cam??
Yes!
U are damn right
Indeed
Absolutely! I clicked on this because I only recently heard the word 'vedanta' and I wanted to know what it was and this is the best video I've ever watched on TH-cam.
Wow.. that's a big claim..I like the thought of it..bless you fellow being 🙏
This is the core ethic of Sanatan Dharma... Despite undergoing an ocean of turmoil and attacks through ages, Sanatan Dharma stands strong and still just for its core foundations. Proud to be a Hindu...proud to be a Sanatani...Jai Shri Krishna
Vedanta is “Realize the divinity within and then know the whole world as an expression of the same divinity”. Pranaams Swami!

Brahman were born by head od some kind of God. And others by others body parts of that same God. Now.. It sounds so stupid but to dilute that impression you cover it some kind of complex philosophy.. You can called it Vadanta.
I'm always stunned by his didactic skills and enormous clarity combined with such a joyful way of being. 💜One of the best teachers I know 💜
Swamiji's Golden Quote:
I Think, Therefore, I Am - Descartes
I Am, Therefore, I Think - Vedanta
🙏🏽🙏
i am, therefore thoughts come to me - this seems slightly more relevant.
Sings: “It ain’t necessarily so...” 🎤
SUMMARY PLEASE: 56:00 onwards:
• (1st): What is Vedanta? The core philosophy of all the sets of Hinduism.
• (2nd): What is Vedanta? The end of the Vedas; the Siddhanta (theory) of the Vedas, even the cutting edge of knowledge.
• (3rd): What is Vedanta? Upanishads Pramanama, the text called the Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Brahma Sutra & all the schools that follow from it.
• (4th): What is Vedanta? What is it not? It’s not a journey in Space or Time or Object. It’s a journey from ignorance to knowledge.
• (5th): What is Vedanta? What is it not? At its core, it’s not Karma or Bhakti or Dhyana. What is Vedanta? Then positively 6th -
• (6th): (What is Vedanta?) It is “That Thou Art” & all that follow from that & finally at its broadest and its most magnificent declaration in the world today -
• (7th): What is Vedanta? Swami Vivekananda’s idea of “Oneness of Existence and the divinity within” expressed as Practical Vedanta.. .....“Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this divinity by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by work, or worship, or psychic control, or philosophy - by one, or more, or all of these - and be free. This is the whole of religion. Doctrines, or dogmas, or rituals, or books, or temples, or forms, are but secondary details.” ― Swami Vivekananda.
Thanks
Thank you for posting these points like this.
Thanks
Thank you for the summary ❤
"One Thing without a second" truly is the cutting edge of knowledge
I don’t know who you are or where you come from but I am so grateful you are here.
and i thank you all for learning this because through you even I am learning
Isn't it AMAZING how a: "4y ago" appears by your YT handle, yet these eyes have seen it now, and not a second has passed? We are closer than breath, beyond time and space. The awareness that is writing these words is the very same that is reading them, right this second, through these very beautiful eyes!
Religion begins when you enter the temple. Dharma begins when you’re out of it. Spirituality begins when you are grateful for all those things. Thank you sir for such a simplified insight ☺️
Sings: “It ain’t necessarily so...” 🎤
Swamiji gives this talk, and I think most of his talks - without any notes! And yet it’s orderly and brilliant and funny. Talk about “a luminous mind”! I can feel myself getting smarter as I listen. This answered some hard questions for me and I’m grateful. 🙏🏻
i always feel happiness in my body mind and soul to hear such profound lectures.
Most convincing concepts and very beautifully explained.
One of the greatest of all the masters once said, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." And to see God is to see God everywhere. This realization of God as All That Is is the one beginning that has no end. Is this not Vendanta? Blessings upon The Way Eternal.
Im trying to understand the philosophy of Vedanta for my own knowledge as well as for NET exam. And here I am, I stumbled upon this video and Im very glad I did. Thank you Swami ji.
40:43 "Vedanta would change that. Instead of saying I think therefore I exist, it would say I exist therefore I think." Wow!
A similar argument was put forward by the existentialists on their critic of Descartes' method of Cogito.
It’s Maya so it doesn’t mean anything anyway
Swamiji
This is not only Vedanta
This is the core of all religions
This lecture is comprehensive
This is that.
All knowledge about That, thou, aham and jagat in an hour !!!!
Pranaams Swamiji
Thank you so much Swami , your words fill my life with light. Thank you Vedanta society for give us the opportunity to hear this teachings.
Swamiji has the great gift of articulating the essence of Vedanta so clearly and concisely, Hare Om.
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
What a Marvel this Christian has found herein:: Veydanta is "That Thou Art!" My understanding of all humanity's Oneness of Divinity has just been Magnificently Enlightened! We are ALLTOGETHER ONE, DIVINE. Love One Another!
40 jadrools downvoted this marvelous presentation of Vedanta.
What is jadrools ?
@@addictrogue516From the context, pretty sure it means something like “fool”.
What a lecture? What a lecture? One of the most enlightening experiences I have had, listening to Swamiji's talk. Pranams Swamiji.
Our humble Pranams. We feel grateful.

@@TheWorldTeacher If so, then why are you here in this video?
One of the best talks of Swami Sarvapriyanandaji
After watching this,I must admit that my interest in Hinduism has increased......Just wonderful
A wonderful self realization throughout all of these teachings. A wonderful blessing here, namaste 🙏🏼☯️🕉💟😇 “The divinity within each of us”
Wisdom ( vedantic knowledge) + Bhakti ( Devotion/Love) + Karmayog + Dhyan ( Meditation) leads to DIVINE 🥳
Friendly greetings to all that have visited here. Thank you Swami Sarvapriyananda for all of your wonderful teachings, humorous jokes and elaborate stories. All greatly appreciated beyond words. Many wonderful blessings for humanity and all life on Earth. Phil
Vedanta is 'Adwaita Vedanta' I think n is the ultimate knowledge on Sanatan dharma or Hinduism. It teaches us of omnipresent GOD. It is really hard to understand, leave beside realise, inculcate. But listening the lecture of Swamijee here gives us the opportunity to learn as much as we can.
So happy to read such appreciative comments. Glad to see so many souls are being touched by Swamiji's talks.
Swamiji we need more peoples like you to change whole world towards true philosophy . Ancient vedanta philosophy schooling lost which need to re-established.
Very good give us understanding Swamiji . Now i understand What is vedanta . With this understanding, my path of spiritual will became core of vedanta .
Hari Om swamiji .
Wow, that was so clearly presented! Thank you, Swami.
swami ji
IT WAS AN EXCELLENT & ENLIGHTENING LECTURE WHICH HAS SET ME THINKING EVEN AT THIS RIPE AGE OF 76 YEARS!! I SHALL LISTEN TO HIS OTHER LECTURES ALSO! - Raj Prasad Nandy, - a retired Defence Service Officer & an MBA Graduate residing in New Delhi.
You should visit the Ramakrishna Math.

I love how some elderly people write in complete sentences with correct punctuations in the comments section as if it's a formal message.
You should strip off your designation. It is useless.
@@aadatta64 😅😅 true, designation is of no use in self knowledge. But Salute to Sir for his service🙏
Such a great talk! Thank you for making it available. 🙏✨
🤗🌾🕉🍃💐Hariiii Hariiii
- Thank you💐🍃🕉🌾🤗
I am vedanta , and I am just proud of my name damnnnn ❤
I love our beautiful personality of our father Sri Krishna ❤️
What a marvelous heritage of Hinduism is Vedanta elegantly focussing on the subliminal tendencies of life as have been in vogue since the advent of devout cultural studies in India.
I am only 1 minute in and very much like your approach, you have my full attention, nice technique!
Well strong till 1:30 then you merely give credit to someone else and talk about their knowledge....not impressed, you can surely do better!
Swami ji , it was rejoicing to hear your illuminous talk.. Om Shanti.
One of the brilliant lectures on TH-cam!
Gratitude Swamiji for this gem.
Master , i bow to you
One of the best explanations of Advaita Vedanta philosophy I have come through. Pranam Swamiji.🙏🙏🙏
Really u r a blessed soul..ur lectures are so peaceful and knowledgeable..Maharaj ji i bow my head...
This is a true gift of clarity in spirituality and the essence of life and existence.
Sashtaang pranam to revered maharaj ji.
Real hero of youth.
All who disliked this video my love to them.
For getting the teachings of vedanta, one should become deserving (Adhikari) of the knowledge of Brahman.
For this, one must practice Sadhana chatushtya (the four practices) which are discrimination of eternal and non eternal
Dispassion towards the non eternal
6 qualities which are
Control of mind
Control over senses
Neutral attitude towards all non eternal objects and pleasures
Forbearance
Unbreakable faith
Samadhan (ability of intellect by which one can concentrate only on one point for all time.)
And 4th is mumukshatva (distraction to be free)
After practicing the four practices, one can become deserving or able to get the knowledge of Brahman, the knowledge of vedanta.
Swamiji maharaj told in lecture
"service"
Only By service of saints, the direct contact with monks, one can become the adhikari (deserving)
This lecture of swamiji is a class
Jai bhagwan shri ramakrishna dev ki jai
Was waiting to get more videos from this channel. Thank you VNY. Pranam Maharaj.
Hello Vedanta Society,
I am highly thankful to this TH-cam channel as I get free to watch amazing contents, especially the speeches of Swami Sarvapriyananda Ji Maharaj.
But nowadays I am noticing some dishonest TH-cam channels who are making money out of these free to watch contents. They download these free to watch contents through TH-cam downloaders and re-upload those contents completely or by trimming the length of those videos. This is really disturbing. While people can watch the videos without being interrupted by the advertisements, they watch the same videos with atleast 2 and in large videos sometimes as much as 10 advertisements. This is really bad. I would request you to take strict action against those dishonest people who can easily be compared with thieves.
I am listing some of those dishonest TH-cam channels. I hope you will take action against them by claiming copyright.
1. Viveka Vani
2. Vivekananda Samiti
There are some more channels I have noticed but I am not listing them as they are not earning money with those videos.
I would be highly thankful if you respond me in this regard.
Let them upload and make money 💰 , atleast they add 1 fellow in million then to it's okay.
The stage of not knowing anything conciously. It's vedantic stage. We consider Vedas as an enormous source of spiritual knowledge. If we surpass that stage and accept the fact that we dnt need to know anything or we know nothing, it's a stage we all should seek for.
50:30 destroyes all doubts!
Pranam Swamiji
I think Nirvana and Enlightenment experiences are an immune response, possibly some sort of biochemical cascade involving the endocrine, nervous and immune systems, in response to psychological or physical crisis.
My organic chemistry lecturer at university did research into the tears of joy and sadness and their effect on the immune system.
So beautifully explained. Now I begin to understand. Thank you
On a short trip to NY a was surprised in Central Park with the view of the Swami walking there🙏🙏🙏
This is a treasure!! Thank you!
You are urged to become VEGAN, since carnism (the destructive ideology which supports the use and consumption of animal products, especially for “food”) is arguably the foremost existential crisis.🌱
This lecture is one of the most valuable one. I'm blessed listened to this.
The two great sanyasis got together
Thank you.
All Darshanas speak of understanding truth right now.
Vedanta society real doing a job through which we people awakening from deep sleeping,
What an orator !!!! Marvellous
✨😊🚩🙌 har har mahadev ❤️🙏......
Jai Sri Ramakrishna
My humble pranams to swamiji. Swamiji's talk is the best I have ever heard on the subject. What vedanta is and what it is not can not be better articulated. "Divinity within and oneness of existence."
What a great Divine knowledge U have digested ; acquired ;or grasped! I think Swami Vivekananda has been borned in the form U.
My favourite swami sarvapriyanand
Beautiful! Thank you❤ Many of my major concerns about religiosity have been answered here. Thank you❤🙏🏿Blessings to you all 🙏🏿
Thanks a lot for this. I thought (foolishly!) that there would be no learning in this talk, as having been listening to various Vedanta lectures, but there is much to ponder and realise here. 🙏🌺🌺🌺
Mr. Vishvarupa (AKA Swami Sarvapriyananda) is undoubtedly a VERY intelligent man, but the fact that he supports the two most pernicious institutions in the history of the earth, says much about his true moral character:
F.I.S.H. Paragraph 28. Feminism is the penultimate evil at present because feminism is based on the misguided assumption that women are equal to or even superior to men. Although a female can exhibit superior traits, skills, etcetera, to some men, a woman can never have AUTHORITY over a man. Truth be told, no true man would ever descend to the level of accepting counsel from any of his subordinates. A man should fully obey his appointed masters and never emasculate himself by submitting to the dictates of a female. Feminism and democracy are guaranteed to destroy society, as can be clearly seen at present.
However, feminism will NEVER EVER be destroyed until the most pernicious institution is first destroyed:
F.I.S.H Paragraph 26. Democracy is evil because the masses will invariably choose the murderous Barabbas over the good King Jesus. This planet is surely doomed unless the most pernicious institution ever known to man (democracy) is replaced by the only legitimate form of government (monarchy - preferably a good monarch, though even a bad king is preferable to being ruled by an elected official who can never be good). Most of the problems in human society are directly or indirectly attributable to this relatively modern phenomenon, since it is the government’s role and sacred duty to enforce the law. Just because good and bad are relative, does not imply that they do not exist. They do exist but are relative. A democrat can never be good, despite appearing so.
One of the many sinister characteristics of democracy, communism and other evil forms of governance, is the desire for their so-called “leaders” to attempt to control or at least influence the personal lives of every single citizen.
For example, in the wicked, decadent nation where this holy scripture was composed, The Southland (or Australia as it is known in the Latin tongue), the demonic government tries and largely succeeds in controlling the rights of parents to properly raise, discipline and punish their children according to their own morals, limiting legitimate powers an employer has over his servants, persecuting religious leaders (even to imprisonment and death, believe it or not) and even trying to influence what people eat and wear. Not that a government shouldn’t control what its citizens wear in public, but it should ensure that they are modestly dressed, which is hardly the case in Australia and similar nations. Basically, the worst of the democratic governments promote or at least permit all things contrary to God’s perfect and pure will such as adultery, fornication, prostitution, pornography, homosexuality, gambling (even running lotteries themselves), illegitimate abortion of poor innocent unborn children, irreligion, drug addiction, disrespect for authority and promoting materialism and ignorance via a powerful network of institutions of miseducation (so-called “schools, colleges and universities”).
Let it be known however - democracy can not and will not endure. The truth shall triumph!
Democracy is only acceptable within large business corporations, where the shareholders must vote on who will be the company bosses and other matters.

Swamiji thank you so much.🙏🙏🙏
Dhanyawada Swamiji...my Gurudev :-)
Caught between the reality we have yet to attain and that to which we are no longer limited
Gita also teaches other Darshanas like Yoga, Saankhya and Meemamsa, apart from Vedanta. Ved Vyas's desciple Jaimini proposed Meemamsa, which was the mainly practiced Darshana for thousands of years.

Best use of TH-cam

Extremely thought provoking ..!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Best Video seen so far on Vedanta ..!!
The more shallow Hinduism looks from outside, the more deep it us inside.
Correct
Damn thats so true
The essence of the spiritual knowledge embedded in each of the Veda has been presented in the Upanishads Being the last part of the Veda after Samhita Brahmana and Aranyaka called Vedanta
Thank you Swami 🙏
I am going to learn this backwords and frontwards so I can teach too!
@@taruns4924 sorry, I find your comment rude, not suited for follower of Adavait Vedanta, or any other religion.
Also, She is not late at all. We all are the same. Even if you are enlightened, we are still the same, we are one.
You can show the video too.
Madam,don't be please brainwashed with the sweet talks of these cunning monks. There is nothing relevant to our life in this gaseous thoughts of Vedantis.Mere circus with thought and words.
Me and You are far better individuals than the Vedantis.

Amazing talk! Thank you so much for putting all this into words that I have been experiencing being exposed to yoga and different ways of hindu culture yet feeling all can benefits when done complementary. Where can I find the article by Swami Bhajanananda on the ontological ethics of Swami Vivekananda, please? Pranam.
Nice teaching sir, beautiful..
Thanks a ton!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
