Of all the Upanishads (sacred Sanskrit texts), the Mandukya Upanishad is the shortest - consisting of just 12 sentences! - however, it is considered the most direct and the most powerful. The commentary, or Karika, composed by Gaudapada Acharya 1,500 years ago, it is regarded as the highest text of nondual Vedanta. Its goal is nothing short of transcendence of sorrow and the attainment of unshakeable serenity by the direct intuition of your own nondual nature. From January 2020, Talk 5 of 6.
Swami Sarvapriyananda is the minister and spiritual leader of the Vedanta Society of New York. He joined the Ramakrishna Math and Mission in 1994, received sannyas ten years later, and served in the Hollywood Temple. He was the acharya of the monastic probationers’ training center at Belur Math, and also served as the vice principal of the Deoghar Vidyapith Higher Secondary School. He regularly gives retreats and spiritual talks throughout the United States.

1. Relate AUM (followed by silence) to Waking, Dreaming, Sleeping & pure consciousness.
2. Entire universe is nothing but sound OM
3. The silence at the end of OM, not the physical silence, but it points to you the consciousness which illuminates the silence.
4. The consciousness that pervades the silence is you the Brahman
Connected the dots well Sir :)
Sooo beautifully explained on the Silence of OM ! We are truly blessed to have explained with such clarity Swamiji ! Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Can we request Swami to present his experiences at Harvard for almost a year? What he learnt, experienced there in this period and what did he contributed to those whom he talked or discussed? It will be a good presentation.....

Yes my brother
No one has ever explained Om the way you do
How eloquent
May you continue to shine your glory everywhere.
Swamiji, You end your discourse with Om Shanti.... but instead, I am now restless, inspired to search, now, for the Self... the quest has just begun..
I like his stories his narration is more interesting
Lecture on AUM is fantastic. Also all objects in the universe can be finely divided into electron,proton etc. Again these are nothing but only comprising of an energy source vibrating or moving around in wave form. In other words physically there is no mass for these(they show some weight due to action of gravity between energy source point and earths gravity). May be they exert force due to the inter action of energy and gravity.
Hence what a study of enquiring to self or AUM is very very true. May be this what is refered as maya
Swamy's way of explaining in his lecture is wonderful.
A = electron (moving, jagrit), U = proton (stable), M = neutron (blank, no charge), silence = void pervading the atom. :)
Most Americans now grew up with the story of Dumbo the Elephant (I remember loving him as a kid.) It looks like he was derived from Ganesha... Here is one of the "summaries" found online of Dumbo's story: The shortest of Disney's major animated features Dumbo involves a baby elephant with unusually large ears. Ostracized from the rest of the circus animals, poor Dumbo is even separated from his mother, who is chained up in a separate cage after trying to defend her child. Only brash-but-lovable Timothy Mouse offers the hand of friendship to Dumbo, encouraging the pachyderm to exploit his "different" qualities for fame and fortune. After indulging in a vat of booze, Dumbo awakens in a tall tree. Goaded by a group of jive-talking crows, Dumbo discovers that his out-sized ears have given him the ability to fly.
My pranam to you Swamiji

Hari Om swamiji
.I am getting privilege to listen the vedant discourse
Can't get enough of these lectures, Swamiji. So crisp & joyfully put. Powerful & compelling. Jai Sri Ramakrishna! Jai Jai Ma 💗
Unable to express my deep feeling of gratitude for the nice explanation on Mandukya Upanishad which I always used to think that it can’t be digested easily. Thankyou Swameejee,with trikarana shuddhi.
Superb commentary! Thanks Swamiji!
Excellent talk.....
Love his teaching method and depth of knowledge, which is awesome and mostly extempore. I am reminded of the poem by Oliver Goldsmith about ‘The Village Schoolmaster’. - “And still they gaz'd and still the wonder grew, that one small head could carry all he knew”. Thank you Swami. Koti Pranaam.
Thank you so much for your help and support you and your team doing well work for us

Consciousness ventured to live an illusion it moulded out of itself in a mind posture. It is consciousness vs consciousness as far as the whole mess is about.
EXTREMELY INTERESTING!!!
Very nice indeed.
GOD IS ENERGY
🌻💛🙏
Thank you for sharing
Very nice
Great and brilliant exposition. The tejas on the face of the swami is unmistakabe. But i wish to point out in all humility that he had taken care of these :. 1 Silence after OM also underlies OM the way turiya (the fourth) underlies the other three (waking, dream and deep sleep). 2. He quotes a westerner's story, where initially Brahman was all by itself and got bored and therefore decided to create a world. I am sure there is no such thing as boredom in Brahman ! Boredom is when there is a sense of time but Brahman does not exist in time for eternity to get bored (as told in the story) but exists in timelessness. Also there are verses that describe Brahman as ever new and hence no boredom is possible for brahman ! Creation is out of a sense of play (leela) and not due to boredom ! 3. I wish the professors at Harvard follow the traditions of Vedanta if they wish to learn and not get used to the idea that they can demand how vedanta should be taught to them. Vedanta does no need the stamp of approval of a business school however good the school may be. Harvard does not go to the himalayan ashrams looking for approval of how they run their business programmes. The bee should come to the flower and never the flower to the bee.
👌👍🙏
They should have consulted Osho about how to run a business!

Namaskaram. 🙏

The sound OM when sounded through the use of a vibrational analysis machine creates multiple yantras within each other

When and which one first Aum was used in Indian scriptures?
Swamiji explained very beautifully. A doubt regarding the example of pot and clay and that clay is just part of earth , then similarly the pot being like a body with different forms then what represents consciousness . Humbly seeking to clear this doubt .
So that means in reality there is only one SELF. My self is the same as your self. So by implication, I am you are you are me. We are all one. There is only one thing. Such a strange and almost scary but beautiful idea. I am no amazed. Could this be true?
Deep sleep is like black hole of the universe
Profound.❤

"Is 'death' also included in the waking state or not? " - please forward this question to Swamiji - Subhen Mitra, Chandannagar, W.B., India
Death is not a state rather a dried leaf 🍂 dropped off the tree.
Here is the interesting think, when the body is in working condition and have time to get the directions of reality

Swamiji
You are amazing in explaining the things but here I have a question if you could plz enlighten me.
If I am the ultimate reality, the pure consciousness in which everything appears and what appears
is nothing but an illusion then why are we reborn for accountability as per the karma of past life
which was nothing but an illusion in first place? Would appreciate your help to understand this.
like all conceits and experiences which appear in the illusion of Samsara, Karma and rebirth are also apparently real......they connect one's mental tendencies and provide a unbroken chain of existing as an embodied being. Once we realize who we really are....these also disappear like the rest of the world. Karma and rebirth happen because of our identification and attachment with the world of phenomena. One realisation dawns, everything else disappears. There was no creation and hence there will be no destruction. The answer to the question of 'why' is not needed when realization happens. All questions fade along with the desire of any answer. That's why silence is the only way after one has reached this penultimate question of 'why'.
Ok I understood that I am the pure consciousness, that means everything. So who are all included in this circle of life and death that will disappear? It will not bound to be a specific person because pure consciousness includes everything. So it means if I understand it, that means this whole universe can disappear tomorrow from this cycle of birth and death??
@@TheRedPandaTales Once it's understood that 'you' are pure consciousness, there's is no tomorrow or disappearance. Nothing exists; so, no disappearance is required. Pure consciousness is now; so, no wait for tomorrow to realize it. This is how I understood from Swamiji's lecture.
Namaste Swamiji, more clarification is requested for pranava naadam. Aa,vu,are vowels having specific vibration, m is a consonant sound. And O is a vowel with specific vibration. Then how it will om, instead of AUM. And it said to be pranava sound being continuously emitted from sun. The NASA recorded sound is different from om. Please clarify Swamiji.
Blasting
Thank you.
What's the connection between the story of Ganesh circling around his parents and OM? I didn't get his train of thoughts there, I think. My only explanation is that we all have our own limits and thus realities around/within which we can circle. But I'm not sure whether he meant that.
Shiva and Parvati represent Brahman and Maya, while the universe is the apparent reality. Ganesh did not want to circle the apparent instead he went to the essence.
I prostrate on ur feet to be blessed by ur satsang.but unfortunately, english version of mantras r very bad.i have seen so many chappaties in that english version.

Why is their a difference in OM and AUM....
Sadguru demonstrates about A- uoo....Mmm meditation...basically the AUM....
If yogis nd mystiques who preach have difference people will stop at it!
he always refers to the source - shruti , we can't simply listen to one person's wild ideas - refer to the source and move ahead
Hindus are totally forgot about there ancient hidden gems

Turiya appears to us as waking dreaming and deep sleep
All this is an appearance of the consciousness, it is not real

Swami ji I follow and listen raptly to your discourses, but I wonder why, you being so well knowledgeable of Samskrit distorted versions of our Dieties names and say GaneshA, ShivA, RamA KrishnA, and erroneously propagating the wrong version instead of removing that A in the end and letting your audience and TH-cam viewers know the correctness of these names please- the Westerners will definitely pronounce these and other Hindu Dieties’ names correctly when they hear them be pronounced corectly by our Saints like you🙏
Swami ji addressed to foreign Nationals. Need to speak in their accent/language.
Your complain reminds me complain by my Bengali friend who said why you say rasgulla in place of Rosgulla
@@hemantsharma178 LOL 🤪🤪🤪🤪 NO !! that’s a defeatist’s approach exhibiting your or Swami’s (that is if you are officially representing Swami ji) proving that you lack the self confidence of pronouncing in correct form the Hindi/Samskrit words and subsequently FAIL to tell the westerners what is the right pronunciation in Hindi . The westerners who listen to the spiritual discourses of Swami ji are fully open minded and ready rather keen to learn About Hinduism and everything related to Hindus 🙏

He's extremely good,profound& very strong in his Samkrit very good storyteller,with a wonderful skill of communication...his American accent,
of course is annoying initially but has to be ignored as we must focus on the content, which is excellent !
