I would have never found this information in my city. I am grateful to have been able to hear such a lecture and my life is changed. I am still absorbing all of the information I have been listening to but there is a great change in me and for that I am grateful for the opportunity to have heard this information. What I know now is that I have always been Hindu...I just never knew it! Blessings from Alabama, USA
Thank you so much! I will email you.
Vivekananda Samiti afte our death does our consciousness still exist ..I think so after watching this life changing video
...always been hindu(?), you mean hindi? the language?
sorry that is my "ignorance" and this is not me typing! just my waking state
No, not the language.
if Gold neckless disolves , stiil gold exits .........Wave dissolves in the Ocean , but Ocean will be there ...
In Kurushetra Lord Krisna said " among the Advaita lecturer I am Swami Sarvapriyananda ".

WoW !!! Wonderfully put !!
@@rohansaxena5606 Guru Sarvapriyananda is my only Vedanta guru, through You Tube. He gave me deep understanding on Brahman. From there, i pick myself through Brahmam, i found the secret of Suryasiddhanta and our body as merely as an avatara, the sleep walker. Brahman through quantum entanglement able to connect with this stula sariram, avatara.. Thats why Pancamaya Kosha is true, we are deep in the cave, beyond this avatara body. Caught in this avatara body, we experience the foolish Jaga, Sopnam and Sususpti avasta. Actually we should be 24/7 in Turiyam, everblissfull Thirunithira, in Cosmic Sleep. Because Cosmic Sleep is our real nature, most coveted nature. Swamy gave me the lead to understand this. Vandahanam and obeisance to Swamy Sarvapriyananda. Who over follow Swamy, will find the way to Home of Godhead.
@@vladimirkrisnov4322 Have you studied the SuryaSiddanta ... ?? Unfortunately, most of the Planetary distances mentioned in that book will NOTT agree with modern calculations. But, ya. Swami is a great teacher.
@@rohansaxena5606 The secret within Suryasiddhanta is not about the distance, it about the constellations, maybe 88 or more. If you know what is this constellation means, you will faint. No need to go far, if you study the secret of Satya Nyana Sabai in Vadalur, its enough. Its the other side of Surya Siddhanta, you need 2 to tango. Satya Nyana Sabai reveals the secrets of Constellations, no need to travel 2000 light years. Swamy's teaching contributed ideas and insight to make this breakhrough. But very complicated to explain. Can tell only one " Brahma Vitapno Thiparam". Perhap God's wish to keep it complicated, to keep it secret.
Very few realises but he is teaching here ULTIMATE KNOWLEDGE OF LIFE...
Wish I heard this 30 yrs. before...but better late than never..Great revelation and clarification.Thanks Swamiji n IITK
Actually there is no time.. dont be upset.. I am 25 years old and you have learned through me ..
Nothing is late.
@@boundlessgenie3893 me to 24 year old
@@boundlessgenie3893 what we can apply this things in real life.?
@@layeksandeep Brother , its an important question , but before you should find out who are you ! Answer of your question is within you..Try to find out.. Further I can suggest you to read books of ramana maharshi and obviously upanishad.. Please go through it.. 💐
It baffels my mind, whenever I remeber it is written over 3000 years ago!😱

More than 10k years.
And we Indians have forgotten our glorious and rich cultural heritage
The Example given between 48:42 - 52:35 is so powerful; it explains the practice of Advaita Vedanta in a nutshell.
👍
very powerful
Crystal clear explanation by Swamiji and it was a cake walk for me. Great Vedanta Rishi, Ramana Maharishi proved to the world in the 20th century that realization can be obtained by ordinary people without mastering Vedas and Upanishads. Buddha too did R&D in our Vedas and Upanishads and presented a simple technique, Vipashana, to attain Nirvana. No harm in mastering Vedas and Upanishads or listening any amount of discourses but one has to sit and meditate because Thuriyam can only be realized by the aspiring individual. One could Google or hear from so many people endlessly about taste of Masala Dosa but would not know the taste of Masala Dosa unless the seeker puts a piece of Dosa in his/her own mouth and tastes himself/herself. Therefore, it is possible for everybody because we are the Thurium itself but it depends on the amount of effort to get rid of ignorance/Maya. I practice Vipasana meditation every day religiously two hours in lotus pose. I feel great and people around me feel +ve vibration from me. Founding father of Quantum Physics were the masters of Vedas/Upanishads. QP is the great testimony for our ancient science on inner world. Start meditating everyday just focusing on your breath moving in and out. Good luck!

thank you :)
Nice
Swami Sarvapriyanandaji Maharaj, what a person he is.. he has so energetic voice and his efforts of teaching is very fruitful and very convincing, thank you so much for these efforts. Koti Koti namaskar guruji.
India needs teachers like you not only in spiritual field but all other fields too..I have never come across anyone who could explain everything so beautifully and in such simple words..❤️
Checkout hindu academy channel
Europe too would benefit from more teachers like him. To tell the truth, he reminds me of teachers I had in much earlier times where a blackboard and chalk were no barrier to offering direct communication not only of information but also the spiritual value of both the teacher and the taught.
@@christinethomas6763Actually, as rightly said I am from a ordinary town, ordinary School, but mind u we were ssoo simple and my teachers were Aacharyas, Bhadajis,they taught us such simple, honest Purohits, full of wisdom, taught us simple truth in life!!!!! So Real wisdom comes from Simple Truthful Life and Living, Not from Riches or Big Universities!!!!! Our Rhishis, Munis, Never went to school, they went to Gurukuls lived there Served the Gurus and became good Human beings!!!! 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
Wow this is wonderful lecture! Thank you and Namaskar from Germany!
Welcome to Indiacome to indian hindu civilization and and know the whole cosmos spiritually.......
Then science becomes very small thing.....as materialistic universe is just approax.4% of this universe....
In our scriptures (upnishads) 5 dimensions are mentioned...
Sice time is cyclic so spiritualism is just like a tangent on that time circle which would make you escape this dimension and reach 5th dimensions where all the doors of blessings open for us..
Though the process is long...but consequences are which cannot be observed by these only 5 sense organs....
Jay hind jay Bharat....jay sanatan
Best part of Hinduism is not something that is mandatory on someone. It's a choice. Anyone can follow it and unfollow it and come back again. That's the beauty of it.
It's a very flexible culture (not a religion) which doesn't include concept of forced conversion (as religion). That's why, there are number of atheist or agnostic people in it.
(In Islamic countries as Pakistan, secular social reformers get sentence of death, cause of absurd blasphemy law for being atheists or kafirs)
*Hinduism* is a way of life. You can follow this art of living without leaving your religion or creed... Just like everyone does *YOGA* without fear & greed...
And it's not about good & gods. It's to discover yourself as a better person... to bring peace within.
Most people think of Hinduism as polytheistic but it's monotheistic too. That means, There is one shapeless *God* (Dev or Ishwar = Energy) and as well as several shape-shifter *Deities*
(Devta = Matter) in nature, for all creature...
In short, God is like ocean and gods (deities) are like rivers, which fall into the deep ocean for unity & equality...
In Hinduism, You are free to make your own god or you can be yourself as a god. That's why, Non-Dualism says, *Aham braham-asmi* ( I am the God )
@@mishthiexplores3732 Materialistic views CAN be real or it can just be an illusion (idealism). You have no evidence to suggest whether our experiences are true or not. I'd believe you a bit more than I do now if you explain more about that dualistic matter that constitutes the rest 96% of the universe.
Greetings! Well, this is a fair enough possibility but till now, there's no evidence to suggest that there is a dualistic connection between two individuals. Also, I don't believe in everything the Vedas say.
@@sridathan1876 When no one asked / forced you to believe dont add your comment here just to increase no of comments.you are free to choose.
ONLY about 6 LAKH people reached the 2nd part of this series out of 3.5 million on ist part
Me, all upanishads....also part of Nagarjuna, shantideva and chantrakirti...just reading through I m at so so much tranquility....
Perhaps they got enlightened in the first part itself 😂
When I was a child I use to hear or see successful people turning into monk, nun... I used to wonder why they are leaving everything, they seem happy and successful but later as I grew up started reading things and now this Magical Lectures, I get it what it is, why it is....this is sooo great & powerful.
Thank you Swamiji🙏
Thank you IIT Kanpur ✔️
i am watching my self, watching this to watch my self apart from myself.
I have never seen such wonderful, logical, with examples, easily explained lecture of Mandukya Upanishad. This upanishad is really answering the most wanted and important question of life Who Am I. Shri Gaudapadacharya's vision was so scientific well explained by Swamiji.
+Vivekananda Samiti
Dear Friends, there is no support to donate funds using non-Indian bank credit cards. What is the other way to donate for the great work being done? Thank you.
I was disappointed to see that you edited out the story he was telling at 1:01:06. In fact it is these anecdotes that I enjoy the most because they provide a real context of what is being discussed. It is like having an example in a textbook, and as engineers we all love examples. Kindly put this up as well.
Please put the unedited version of the story. It is these stories that build up our confidence and gives a dimension to our thoughts to trust the sayings of swamiji. Thanks
when that monk(knowing and preaching nonduality) goes a place a bull started to ran chasing him then monk started to run having seen all this a person asked him that why he started to because all this is the same the bull was also a part of him according to adwaitya, he replied that he was not running body was running because of automatic instinct of survival and he did not find it(running) harmful so he did not stop the body from running.
i heard this story and hoping it was the same...
@SHIVTOMER Thanks Friend. God Bless you.

Swamiji vivekananda was a pure gem.He followed sanatan dharma,most scientific religion.
An ancient philosophy put in such a lucid style and with such forceful conviction by Swami Sarvapriyananda. I'm very thankful.
Wonderfull explanation ! When i encounter vedanta, it was the first time in my life i find an explanation and a counterpart to "my own" thoughts about the universe and the meaning with life etc. Its crazy and wonderful !
Wonderful!Thanks a for this class!

All the questions that are asked by these students must be very profound?? However, we the general public cannot hear them. I wish that the speaker could repeat those questions so, we could also assimilate what is being asked. Thank you.
Holy smokes man, Ignorance is beginningless , MIND BLOWN
Thank you guys, for uploading this video. Sarvaji's explanation is so sweet , smart and scientific.
Thank a lot once again
In conclusion We are all one universal energy experiencing the universe itself ❤
I got my upbringing & education through RK Mission school.
Still remember it's Motto: Uttithata, Jagrata, Prapya Barannibodhata
translates to:
Get up, Awake, and Get to what you want ...
...and... (drumbells)
.
.
.
after Swamijis' explanation, now I understand what it meant to be ...Jagrata (awake)
Thank You from the bottom of my heart.
Watching in 2021 but this knowledge is eternal
Outstanding!!! Watched, rather studied everything Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches, and in the night have been watching both parts for 3 hrs straight and its like I've finally "experienced" what Cosmos, Life is about, what is the "Atman", "Brahman", "Chitt" that all Vedas, Upanishads, Purans, mantras keep talking about. After all these years, these 3 hrs, have taught me by experience what none of all other pravachans have been able to convey. Outstanding!!! Thank you so much for this video. It is rightly said, if one can grasp this Upanishad alone, there is nothing else remaining to be grasped. Thank you Swami Sarvapriyanand ji. Excellent teacher, finally I found an authentic expert in Vedanta that too Advaita Vedanta. God Bless you tons, and in your journey and pursuit of life.
Thank you
A direct pointing..Listened to it few years back and contemplated all these years..A true Guru of our times..
I have become fan of उपनिषद् and this swami
I want to study and also relise
No number of thankyous can be enough for this teaching. Bohot bohot bohot Dhanyawad Swamiji 🙏🙏.
lucky was the audience out there to have heard this live from an excellent teacher on the substratum that underpins the core teachings of Upanishads and Vedanta ... Simply brilliant ...
yes I was :)
Please tell the example which was Skipped near 1:01:06
Quantum Mechanics for the Soul eh...
wonderfull!
That leaves me with only one idea that i am just a station master. I specifically have no role play other then simply sit and watch.
@Vijay Kumar no the waving offlag is in mind based on information witness dont have choice mind has choice
@Vijay Kumar you just witness that
@wallart congrats yes absolutely,this can be attained by mindfulness meditation
don't take the example literally true, as if it 100% reflects the Vedanta Darshan, try to understand the philosophy to know the essential reality of Atma
,He used it just to give understanding of Atma, it will be wrong to conclude that Atma is paralysis something from the analogy of this example.
You can occasionally munch on peanuts
Osum, nice and convincing lecture.
Excellent teacher, I have been studying this subject for years, and he has been far away the best lecturer Ive heard. Thank you!
the people who is desliking the video may god give him power to understand this thought
"Shravanam, Mananam , Nididhyasana" this was good one.
The ancient people is so awesome, they can describe such a difficult concept with a few pieces of paper, wish I learned sanskrit in school so I can discover more
Fascinating! In this life of ignorance, randomness and messed up. This knowledge is worth life changing!
Thanks.
Knowing Vivekananda, his ideas and philosophy is knowing India and her vast heritage and culture.
These two videos explaining the powerful fundamental question of "Who I AM really?" were great.
I loved it. Nicely explained. Thank you Swami Sarvapriyananda for explaining this so well.
Love from Nepal.
P.S: I wish if I could meet you someday.
Mind blowing Lecture. Highly grateful to swami ji..
Swamiji! What an inspiring eye opening truth in your explanation of "Who am I?" The explanation of God is excellent. I have read similar philosophy in Jewish books. There are many parallels in what you are saying about God and what Jewish books are saying. Amazingly similar!! My question is, such wealth of explanation even the IIT students are not completely getting it and they all have questions... Then, I can only imagine the millions of people in India are struggling to know who God is and they have their own version of who God is...are they in Dream? They are in reality and thus in Error (according to your explanation). Your teaching need to be heard by millions in India so that they would understand who God is. I also noticed many people (with commercial objective in mind), have portraid Brahman into a male figure. Why is that?
males are dominant so it is represented as male.but brahman is neither men nor women.it is only one of its kid.
in the illusion of this world we forgot who we are and consider ourselves as a body.
Which all jewish book ? Give references please.

This is not hinduism, this is knowledge of self, acknowledged by self. This is the ultimate truth/reality.
@@bharata101 that is Hinduism..no other religion or cture teach such fundamentals other than Hinduism..Vedas, Upanishads are foundations of Hinduism..
@@PrashantSingh-rr5iu noo u r error cause u have ignorance. Buddhist the LALENDA ancient masters describe more about I. Atma is true me in Hinduism but Buddhist accept unatma. Gold is not gold as I is not I . Gold has many component : shine,hard material, shape ,colour . Which component is gold?
This is sanatana Dharma 🧡
In deep sleep there is nothing but consciousness... what a concept!
watawonderfulworld you are wrong.....in deep sleep their is as much consciousness as you have in the waking state......only then it is in an inactive form......
@@hhmbbb8331 there is no reflection of blank things so conciousness is there but not sense to experience of time, space, matter, mind or thoughts
@@hhmbbb8331 It is not black/white but there is effectively no consciousness in the deep sleep state, by definition. The unconscious is not conscious, and so is not part of consciousness. Look up the Wikipedia page for "neural correlates of consciousness," it says the same thing that the Swami Sarvapriyananda was saying here: "To be conscious of anything the brain must be in a relatively high state of arousal (sometimes called vigilance), whether in wakefulness or REM sleep, vividly experienced in dreams although usually not remembered [...] High arousal states are associated with conscious states that have specific content, seeing, hearing, remembering, planning or fantasizing about something. Different levels or states of consciousness are associated with different kinds of conscious experiences. The 'awake' state is quite different from the 'dreaming' state (for instance, the latter has little or no self-reflection) and from the state of deep sleep."
no thing = every thing
It's like potential energy; it's not active. I guess that our consciousness has a direct connection with our brain, which is pretty inactive during deep sleep (the Cerebrum).
No intellectual person, who is little spiritual will, surprise with the highness and depth of this video. The world is very spurious and there is not a single way to define it. All explanations lead more questions and all logics can be treat with some antilogic and exceptions. This is the knowledge from the most ancient research which is called as the knowledge given to the man in the very starting of the world so that man can be enlighten. I here agree that the Vedas and the Upnished and their explanations have the essence of the answer of all those spurious questions which are always unexplained. These oldest scriptures are only able to explain these things upto a certain level from that point forward the human being can lead to the more highness by self-practice and feelings only which are above and apart from the word that we experience. A great lecture, I really happy to see a piece of such knowledge sharing.
Hello world !! Welcome to the real Hinduism..🕉️
Great knowledge and gist of all Vedantic teachings ❤
Vedas and upnishads should be compulsory in schools and all colleges of India & nepal specially
Amazing Teachings!!! Thank You. Very enlightening.

i will suggest u read all vedas ..
Read the philosophy of Bhagwat Geeta
এত সুন্দর আলোচনা। অথচ আমরা, বাংলা ভাষী অনুরাগীরা উপভোগ করতে পারছি না। এতক্ষণ ধরে ইংরাজী বক্তব্য অনুধাবন করা আমাদের মত বাংলা মাধ্যমের বাঙালীদের পক্ষে বেশ কষ্টসাধ্য।

I think this is one thing after knowing which everything in the universe becomes known
At around 1:01:07 Swami was about to tell a story to explain ‘Ajam’. It seems somehow it was missed during editing...
This is an amazing lecture. Thank you Swamiji. I love Indian history, Bhagawath Githa etc.
What an impressive and mesmerizing orator he is.. blessed are IITians, who get to listen to best teachers of country..
Thank you 🙏so much for the discourses on Mandukya Upanishad!
Thank you Swami no 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Worderful explanation by a wonderful person... Thank u....
Beautiful explanation many very thanks namaskaram
You solved the problem of my life
Since when I was a child I had thought who is inside me experiencing the things
But because of the influence of world I ignored the desire to know
Sometimes I used to get goosebumps when I used to feel that I was the observer
Now I can connect this with the things you taught
Very lucid explanation from Swamiji! There was a question and answer regarding the "Sushupti avastha/deep sleep state". Swamiji said we are aware of the deep sleep state but it is hard to prove it. I had this question for a long while and thought about it again today. And, an interesting thought along this line came to me which I consider is a proof of whether we are conscious of the deep sleep state or not. I would like to share it below.
Sometimes we say, "I had this dream just before I wake up (no gap between dream and waking state)" and at other times we say "I had this dream some time during the night (there is a gap between dream and waking state)". We also recognize multiple dreams with a gap in between them. We say, "I don't remember (correct word is experience!) what happened between the dreams but I am sure that they are not continuous dreams and have some time lapse in between them". If we are not conscious of the in between state, also the deep sleep state, then there is nothing to prevent us from saying, "I had this dream immediately after I sleep and I woke up immediately after my dream". But, we never say that! On some nights when we don't even have/remember any dreams we would say, "I slept peacefully without any thoughts/I had a dreamless sleep" instead of saying, "I slept and woke up immediately" (even if we didn't look at the clock!). We might argue, "our body is relaxed compared to the state before sleep and that's how I infer some time is elapsed."
But, if we are not conscious of the deep sleep state, then we have to accept that our consciousness is discontinuous and is present only during the waking and the dream states but not during the deep sleep state. Then we should be able to assert that either "I was awake" or "I was dreaming" and nothing else. Because, we can say only what we are conscious of. It's an absurd idea that consciousness is activated by a biological switch.
So, we ARE conscious of the deep sleep state. We just mistake the absence of thoughts to not being conscious of the deep sleep state. The example given by Swamiji about the light beam into the infinite darkness is beautiful!
Any counter arguments to my thoughts are welcome!
Wonderful, thanks!
Good reasoning. These are great topics to think about - but the true acceptance will only come through deep meditation I guess?
Very nicely put. It brings more clarity. Thanks a lot.🙏
Funny how when priests in temples recite stuff in Sanskrit I see them as thugs, yet here I love every word Sir recites here in sanskrit seems like invaluable treasure. Thank you for this IIT Kanpur.
Lots of respect to him! And we need more people like him for the betterment of this generation!
Long live Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism).
Absolute truth shown with absolute clarity . I pray
I can experience of turiya some day
Thank you Swamiji and IITK team for sharing this !
Covered Mandukya in such lucidity & depth!!Excellent rendition of vedanta.We need more teachers like Swami Sarvapriyanandaji .
Thanks Vivekananda Samiti at IITK for posting such wonderful lectures on you Tube.
34:48 the car headlights analogy..wow...thats where I got enlightened☺️
Thank you so much for sharing this...
mee too
Beautiful and Blessed. Thank You Swami ji.
Such a simple, but very effective style. You are blessed swamiji! Thank you
This is the most profound knowledge that have learnt till date ! thanks to Swamiji,he has put it as clear as possible.Must be a lesson in every school and college i believe above all the material world subjects.
Swami Sarvapriyanad explains " Who am I " very specifically and clearly.
I am too small and ignorant to comment about Swamiji. However, it was enlightening. It is TOO HUGE to grasp but mind blowing concept that ONLY our sages could have written. To even understand and make people like us understand these wealth of knowledge is commendable in itself. One feedback: It would have helped if the questions asked were loud or repeated by Swami.
Wonderful! Swami ji makes it so simple, my pranaam.
I am listing swamiji for a long time. I meet him at belur math one evening. Swami ji lectures created a turning point in my life.
Ghosh roy Soumen hu yu up ji ft
All of us are turiyam
Just live happily relax worship your parents deities spend your time playing with children do everything u can to spread happiness n peace in the world
Just no words to describe how complete I feel with this knowledge. We are so priviedged to have such great scholars between us. Great command over the subject as well as English...explained all concepts using plain english, no complex jargon. Could hear this lecture non-stop.
Feel sorry about how most of us are caught up in the material world not knowing how rich is our culture and how much is there to be studied!
Still looking for answer to "Is soul same as consciousness?"
Thank you so much for uploading both the parts. 🙏🏼
AWESOME word was invented only to describe the sheer genius behind Mandukya Upanishad Verse 7.
Pranam swamiji
This upanished should not be taught in college but from school level in every school not just mission schools .
Eye-Opening Speech. Speech kindles to explore Turiya more. Thank you Swamiji for being a great guide
#WhoAmI has always been and will always be the most intriguing question. Swamiji has helped glimpse the interpretation by Guru Gaudapadacharya of Mandukya Upanishad in such a lucid and thought provoking manner. Dhanyawada Swamiji!
Swamiji,you are giving us a new light 🙏🙏🙏
Ultimate truth of life. We need Guru like you. Pranam
It was a good talk, its a shame swami couldn't spend enough time explaining the techniques of moving from ignorance. For example moving from mananam to nididhyasana is huge step -- and often people fall into the trap into thinking that meditation is the solution. Meditation is there to remove the final desire, Krsna says that also in the Gita.
Only at 1:34 of the day 2 of the lecture was it discussed that it is ignorance of the Mind (Manas) -- so for aspiring students they must understand that Mind (Manas) creates more ignorance through desires (and lack of knowledge) and only through the development of the Intellect (Buddhi) over the Mind -- one can control the ignorance (Desires). Once the desires of the world have been reduced -- then should proceed to Uparati (withdrawal ), Dharana (concentration) and finally Dhyan (meditation) to remove the final desire.
+captaink99 Well said sir, the inner desire to light the light in us , and of course with the lot of kindness from the Lord , this IGNORANCE will HE remove .
Infinite thanks Swami Sarvapriyananda !
It's amazing that not one time in this entire 2 part lecture, the word "faith" was spoken. That's when you can trust who is speaking. They don't tell you to have faith or burn in hell. If this was a Christian apologetic the word faith would have been said hundreds if not a thousand times.
The world the people will not affect you anymore u will live through this journey of life happily
Proud to be a Hindu !!!🙏🙏🙏
this is inspired by buddhism,he studied buddhism
Wow! Thank you Swamiji for this awesome lecture and for clarifying so many doubts. There should be a subject on Vedanta introduced in schools. The society needs to be reprogrammed.
I rarely dream in sleep so once I fall asleep till I wake there is nothing but everyday when open my eyes after deep sleep I actually have this sensation of being at peace right before waking up. No I wasn't there but I can't say I didn't feel that ,its really a uneasy feeling
Everytime I repeat this same lecture , I feel I understood nothing the last time.
Absolutely amazing.. thank you!
Loved listening to Swamiji. But I couldn't concentrate on the subject matter, as much as was required. The same thoughts that disturbed me when some 25 years ago, in my studies on some topics in Indian Philosophy, went on creeping in to my mind. It is this:
Indian Philosophy contains a lot of observations and concepts in what is now known as the science of psychology. Modern science of psychology, like any other branches of science, evolved out of western philosophy, and is now a science of its own identity.
Had we done something in time, applying practical thinking to abstract theories, the science of psychology would have come far earlier, than its present origin in the western world -- that too FROM OUR INDIA.
Western psychology is stuck after the dream state and is mostly extracted from Vedic texts with English polish. Not only psychology but physiology. Many scientists like Einstein, Edison, Tesla have talked about Vedic Sciences and no wonder picked up the idea from Vedas.Same applies to many parts of Mathematics. It is just your mind which thinks it is Abstract.
It is here in india but the fact is that there is no advertisment no consumerism concept and so we lacked to put it in a way that world can think we know these thing
However far western psychology might go, it won't reach the ultimate truth, the reason is simple, the way they mostly think is in terms of machines, however complicated machines programming might be, however computing power it is given, it will still always lack the data of evolution of human beings, maybe one day they will. But it would be too far away, we wouldn't probably have so much time.
Moreover the psychology study there is all about curing everything, that too fast. Humans can't be fixed in an instant, if we try, it will mess it up even more.
I don't think anyone else could have explained this complicated philosophy in such a simple manner! Thank you so much swamiji!! 🙏🙏
Pranaams to this great teacher..taking on the highest of the philosophical texts and teaching it in an easy to understand method !! May all listeners derive full benefit from it..reflect on the core message and arise from the present "dream"state.. Gurubyo namah !!
15:00 min This is absolutley mind blowing ! Thank you for clearing my ignorance with your lecture ! :) :) :)
Wish i had such professors in school/colleges.. would've been such enriching experience...also the curriculum ,such studies were never and are currently never taught in schools.. WHY ? why ? Why ?
