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

It was a historic event, for the seed of the world-wide Ramakrishna Movement was sown here in New York over a century ago.

Wow finally.. I follow Jainism and I always found so many similarities between Jainism and Vedanta and I was looking for a comparative study between both these great philosophies.
Obviously afterall Hinduism buddhism jainism are great indic philosophies
@@125bbna8 ofcourse.. there are minor differences though like we believe in dualism/plurality as soul and matter are different but Vedant believes monoism, it's all Brahman..at the end of the day all three religions are really great philosophies which show us the path to moksha

I am a hindu but was told a long time ago by someone in my family that Jains didn't eat after dark was because after sunset they would have to light oil lamps. These lamps would attract insects and they would be killed. So having the dinner before sunset would help avoid that any harm to small creatures. Also the point of insects falling on food in poor light was also a great possibility. I found this such a beautiful thought. Compassion for other life forms .
Jai Sri Ramakrishna, Jai Sri Totapuri, Jai Swami Vivekananda, Jai Swami Sarvapriyananda,
Jai Jinendra

I am grateful to Vedanta society of New York for bringing a great topic like this in presentation. Salute to Dr. Jeffrey for his clearly articulated points. Thank you all teachers of Vedanta for this continuous excellence.
Be thankful to **Jainism!*

A very interesting and informative talk. So much of research has gone into this talk is quite obvious..
Enjoyed thoroughly. Thanks Dr. Jeffery and thanks Vedanta NY.
Love Dr Long, he is such a superb scholar and his book on Jainism is excellent.
Great, thank you so much. I don't know why I didn't learn about Jainism so far. I was wondering for a long time how the Vedic Aryans suddenly developed new form of beautiful philosophies in Upanishads completely in contradiction to Vedic Samhitas and why they started practicing vegetarianism. Now the answer is clear to me, they must have got inspired from Jain monks and Thirthankaras. And many Tamil researchers claim that Lord Pillaiyar (referred to as Ganesha in the North) is an Ajivika God which the Aryans assimilated, and I could see even the western religious researchers say that Lord Pillaiyar is also worshipped by some Jains - a closer religion to Ajivikas.
Such a great philosophical talk! I always love listening to Dr. Long and his perspectives.
Jai Jinendra and Greetings from Germany to all followers of the Jain Dharma!
Fellow truthseeker here. It seems that most religions are in direct contrast to Jainism. Christianity, Buddhism and Vedanta are all saying it's okay to do some level of harm; there's grace, mercy and forgiveness of sins. I wonder if the politicians invented these religions to promote "untouchables", slaves, the poor, etc to try harder in improving their lives. According to karmic laws, all men are not created equal- not self-evident. Even if people like Dada Bhagwan reach some kind of self realization, does that really mean he reached moksha-nirvana-end of samsara/reincarnation -everlasting life? I have a feeling Jainism is the ultimate highest truth. I know it seems unattainable but why not try, improve our karma at least for our next life? Namaste 🙏
Well done! Thank you!
Many thanks 🙏
As a jain i want to take it World as then it can be a peaceful place as we follow absolute non violence not in terms of any creature hurt or even in thoughts ❤

Namaste!/Namaskar!🙏

Is this the same Dr. Jeffrey Long who is the head of the International Near Death Studies Association? From looking on the internet, it seems not...
No but it's a shame they share the same name.
I can answer the question of why the spirit found itself in the physical form. We volunteered. Infinite bliss can get boring so we play the game of suffering.
very nice...
Excellent talk
Thank you.
Can someone type out the opening chant in Sanskrit? I’d love to learn it. 🙏🏻
It is the Pavamana Mantra. “Om asato mā sadgamaya, tamaso mā jyotirgamaya, mrityor mā’mritam gamaya. Om, śāntih śāntih śāntih”

The other comment has typed it out.
ॐ असतो मा सद्गमय।
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय।
मृत्योर्मामृतं गमय ॥
ॐ शान्ति शान्ति शान्तिः ॥ - बृहदारण्यकोपनिषद् 1.3.28।
Hi Can you say that, If mind and intellect does not grasp self. Deep samadhi is necessary or needed for enlightenment.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nice...🙌🏽🙏
Some things are not virtuous. Some things are not deontological. Some things do not maximize good or minimize harm. There are facts about such matters. There are better and worse ways to go about things. Rape, murder, and cannibalism, cannot be called a respectable path.
Aside from the possibilities of dying and becoming a perfect being, and dying and becoming another imperfect being, there is also the possibility of just dying.
I'm sure Jains would agree with your first paragraph.
Just dying can and will NEVER happen!! Because, we are the Souls! And, *all souls are immortal !!*
of course no Jains turn up.
