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.

I have spent 25 years seeking the truth and in Vedanta I have finally found my spiritual home. Two of my favourite teachers. It is a joy to be alive during this time.
Same here, agree 🙂
thom,
It just means you have an affinity with these both gentlemen's views n tafseer.. hopefully they truly experience it in their life not just in theory... thru research...
@Darren Jesus is your truth and I respect that. It doesn't mean everyone else is being lied to or deceived.

Anybody else who gets excited everytime sarvapriyananda maharaj speaks . I can't be alone .
Love him ❤️
100% yes
Honey, you are not!
Yes ,me as well..
Me too
What I appreciate in their talk is the love and respect each other shows, when they talk. Not egoistically pointing their own points....let us learn from them to be less egoistic and respect each other with love.
Yes. There is no "own points". Its eternal wisdom. Its not their`s.
Yes I learned a lot about communication and mutual respect here
Absolutely! These guys are the epitome of consciousness..
@@musicworship4520 You seem to miss the point. Both of them may be enlightened may not be enlightened. But I'm quite sure you are not enlightened and I only see an ego in you which is deeply identified with the tradition of 'swami'. And I'm not enlightened either. Thus I'm making a judgment on you. 😂
@@musicworship4520 Swamis aren't Enlightened just because they are swamis believe me.
This interview between two of the spiritual giants of 21 century should be part of the mandatory curriculum of all high school students in the world. In that way our planet would be a better place to live.
So, so true. It should be mandatory and very urgent step to take.
Rupert isn't a giant! He's fake awake.
Plus Bernardo Kastrup 😊 these three should meet together sometime 😊
Swami is so inspiring. His knowledge runs so deep historically while he keeps tabs on the latest studies in consciousness. Thousands of years of inquiry matters. I also feel that Rupert's comment about this knowledge being made available to the broader public for the first time ever is highly significant.
This type of two genius speaking of non dual Vedanta is really rarely seen. Now we are lucky to get this. Thanks to the organisers for giving this types of rare dialogue .
Love Swami S...not big on the other fellow.
@@CindyNorman that’s why there are thousands of awakened teachers all around the world that are saying the same thing. Why is there not only one teacher that all follow if they are saying the same thing? Because we all have taste and preferences!
Two of my favourite teachers ... it’s amazing amazing amazing .. so thankful 🙏🙏💕
Wow my dream girl ☺️
@Darren Jesus was a realised master... If you carefully look into Jesus teachings Its very much parallel to Advaitha teachings...well I myself was a Christian now a Proud Hindu 🙏🙏
I like the statement “Realization that we are the Consciousness in which everything appears, is not the end of our spiritual journey. The real journey starts from there.” It is a privilege to hear personal insights from the two Masters!
Yes the journey from Brahman to the Para Brahman. You can only access this supreme reality if you have firmly established yourself in the primordial I am.
"The ultimate science" 🧡
this phrase is nonsense, what are you in deep sleep than??? as long as you can name,sense or imagine it its not god, also all people hearing this understand it from a concious type of the person and not of the soul, when you say to peter he is immortal than peter thinks that peter is immortal because everyone here is still fully in ignorance

I’ve wanted to see Rupert ans Swami together for quite sometime now! And the universe made it happen.
Me too, unfortunately I just saw two guys competing to be the best teacher
@@paulmartom naah
@@bethanienaylor try to watch it again keeping in mind that
@@paulmartom nooo that would ruin it...or make it fun to watch...hmmmmm No it would ruin it. And my perception of it. I did love Rupert's analogy about the glasses and the snow...it was my favorite part.
@@bethanienaylor yes I get that 😂 but it would make him a bit more “human”, nothing goes lost about his understanding and his way of putting it such in a clear way 👍🏻
Just the absolute BEST! Perhaps the only talk on Advaita needed. What a gem.
Honestly they're the best teachers on non-duality currently, such mind-blowing wisdom
Swami Yugpurush Paramanand Ji is a better teacher.
Rupert Spira is the best neo Vedantic teacher. It is created for people who are new to Vedantic philosophy. It is quite charming but not the whole story. If you really want to understand it you must continue a search that goes much deeper.
@@rapisode1 Neo Vedanta is a false term
Swami Samarprananand ji Maharaj of Belur Math is the best in my view.
@@rapisode1 can you please explain in what terms to go deeper from what Rupert talks about? And kindly I ask for some references where to look/read to go deeper by your opinion? Thanks
Couldn't believe it when I seen these two were going to speak... And then my favourite interviewer Rick just added the icing to the cake. Thank you 🙏
Never heard of Rupert Spira. I'm glad I came to know about him from this channel.
He's not someone to follow.
I am a follower of Osho and Sadguru Recently I came across Rupert Spira.. The way he explained with so much clarity and simplicity.. It was a tears of Joy for me 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dc x Marvel: The crossover you wanted
This right here: The crossover I/we wanted
Swami and Rupert, This discussion is so very valuable. And much more so because of the dual explanations. It is like you two are twins from different fathers but the same mother. Or vice versa. Sometimes I understood one of you much more that the other, and at other times, the opposite person's words penetrated more deeply. I value both of you separately and even more so, together. Much gratitude to both of you. And to Rick Archer.
A real advaita dialogue : two people and only ONE truth! Agreeing about everything all along! MARVELOUS! thank you!
Swami Sarvapriyanada and Rupert Spira together!! This is Christmas for Advitans
Agree 👍 🙏 🤓
what does Advitans mean thought i was called this in a dream
@@lisagiovannini3302 may you know. i need to know. thankds
Tack snälla Ni för att ni talar så vackert om universell kärlek till varandra. Känns så tryggt att ni talar på detta sätt i denna förvirrade tid. Så glad att få höra. Francicusbönen Lord make me an instrument of your peace. World peace prayer. Lead me from death to life, from falsehood to truth. Lead me from despair to hope, from fear to trust. Lead me from hate to love, from war to peace. Let peace fill our heart, our world, our Universe. Amen 😇
Way to add one more identification to perpetuate the dream!
Beautiful to hear two masters observing the common ground from which their viewpoints originate. Their enthusiasm for Truth reminds me of the dialogue between Janaka and Ashtavakra in the Ashtavakra Gita. It's comparable to a duet rather than a competition.
Thank you Rupert and Swami Sarvapriyanada for this beautiful sharing!
Did not want this outstanding conversation to stop, bow down to Swami and Rupert 🙏
I felt like I was sitting an elite Salon listening to these intellectual giants in conversation,. Thanks to the organizers for this brilliant conversation, that starts of tentatively and grows into animated discussion.
May all beings be blessed to move towards that one, intelligent, compassionate self in all.
Ohhhh Rupert! Great argument! “To study the way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be enlightened by all things. To be enlightened by all things is to dissolve the barriers between the self and others.”
❤❤❤❤
My god.. My two finest teacher🎉🎉
Amazing to see these two great teachers together. May the world become aware of the truth of universal non-dual consciousness of which who we are "it/him/her! "
Swamiji is always a pleasure to listen to.. such deep understanding and a wonderful way to express it.
A precious meeting of the hearts and minds of three very wise and loving people (including moderator Rick). Swami ji and Rupert are wonderful and very clear teachers, who can bring out the very best in all of us. Thank you for posting this video. Namaste. Om shanti, shanti, shanti
Advaita is proposed and propagated by the greatest “Adi Shankaracharya”. How great is it to follow this in life and attain enlightenment. Humbled! ❤
advaita predates shankara by thousands of years, he is a follower of advaita but not its founder.
Rupert: ".... I'm sure we could carry on for 500 years." Yes! Yes, please. I truly could watch these 2 answering questions together for those 500 years.
Thank you for having them here together!
This Friday evening couldn’t have been better spent than absorbing Rupert and Swami’s pointings. Thankyou for constantly bringing this infinite wisdom so succinctly to us sentient beings, again and again.
Yes! My two most favourite teachers together.
May we all realise that we shine like the Midnight Sun ☀ Fantastic Interview.
Namaste 🙏❤️🙏
OMG... SO BLESSED!! Both of you beautiful liberated beings together.. No words!!!
I love learning from both Swamiji and Rupert. I love learning from both Kashmir Shaivism and Advaita. Thanks so much for making this happen and making it available online. har har mahadev🧡 🕉 🧡
Do you have any youtube channels you would recommend regarding kashmir shaivism? 🙂✌️
T K Lakshmanjoo Academy for Trika Shaivism (Kashmir) and Himalayan Academy for Advaita Isvarada (Siddhanta) which is very close in philosophy to Kashmir Shaivism. These are both great channels for English speakers. 🧡🕉
@@ironhead108 thank you so much 🙂
What a wonderful idea to get these two enlightened beings together with a skillful moderator with thoughtful questions. It was delightful to experience the ebb and flow of questions and answers while observing them all together. Thank you for this priceless experience.
The Swami would never claim to be enlightened though
@@moesypittounikos he is not enlightened and he is honest about it...
Of natural state of being is enlightenment
@@sleepydank8330 statistics would suggest otherwise
@@moesypittounikos Doesn't mean he is not. You can't teach these kind of things with such clarity unless you are enlightened.
This type of discussion between science and spirituality needs to be arranged frequently for the benefit of Humanity.
Dream come true! ❤️! Confirmed that my two favorite gurus are of the same Advait understanding!😊🙏🏽
Thanks for publishing!
Two Spiritual SOUL Merging In ONE TRUTH .Simply Great . We Are The SELF. Pranam Swamiji .
2 of my favorite gurus together. You both changed my life and without evening knowing me (as a separate person). This is the help that internet has provided to us.
Millions thanks to the host who bring these 2 gems together 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
True Satsang it is!
Can't describe what i am feeling right now.....it's like deep sleep...no words to say.....it's pure bliss.
Thanks Swamiji, thanks Rupert , thanks Rick.
🙏🙏🙏
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻amazing two of the most wonderful teachers together in One, these are some of the best Guru’s we have during this lifetime to guide us on the path of Truth inviting us to awaken and be present in consciousness they guide us to investigate our true nature our Self wow we are blessed Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou ♥️♥️♥️
They are you and you are me😉
Thank you. So beautiful. All the world's problems gone in an instant if everyone communicated like these wonderful wise people.
I personally am on the progressive path and I get very frustrated when Advaita Vedantists go on talking only about the direct path endlessly. But man!!! what a discussion this has been !! I went into mediation for 30 mins and then put this on and was listening to the whole thing and got all the answers. The big questions were answered, the most important one being - Is there any purpose to life, it just feels purposeless? ANSWER - If you are suffering and frustrated, then yes there is a purpose. To find YOUR happiness and to wake up. May the God within us know itself...
life has nomeaning inherently advait vedanta tries to give meaning and snatch away that meaning later , which leads to end of cycle of rebirth - moksha , nirvaana,
It’s up to each of us to find and impart meaning to our temporary human experience.
The Absolute Truth of Ultimate Reality, which is Non-Duality can be experienced directly within the deepest states of Samadhi, or Sat Chit Ananda.
5-MeO-DMT is by far the most effective & efficient method to elicit this experience, with consecutive days in darkness being second. Excessive Meditation is in comparison vastly less effective.
To think you know via the intellect and mind is self-deception, to know non-duality must be experienced directly✨😉

I listened to the Swami's podcast yesterday on Free Will, and the question of quantum mechanics was asked in that podcast as well! I posted an in-depth reply to that video, and I re-post it here.
There is a solution to the paradoxes of quantum mechanics, and the perceived ultimate randomness of the Universe. Dr. Amit Goswami, a pre-eminent quantum physicist, wrote 'The Self-Aware Universe'. In that book Dr. Goswami lays out a theory that solves all the conundrums of quantum mechanics as well as the 'mind-body problem'.
All the mysteries of quantum mechanics disappear if we take the premise that consciousness, not matter, is the root of all being. As the listener mentioned in this broadcast, the particles/waves that make up the Universe are ultimately random. Their trajectories and/or their position cannot be simultaneously determined.
However, the quantum function collapses... When the quantum object is OBSERVED, that is to say SEEN by consciousness. Take the most famous conundrum in physics, Schrodinger's Cat. According to quantum mechanics, the cat is both alive and dead - until the experimenter opens the box to SEE whether the cat is alive or dead.
Dr. Goswami's book provides detailed examples and proofs that in fact consciousness is precisely what determines reality. He further proves that the consciousness that collapses the quantum wave function, (and thus determines reality), is UNITIVE. In addition his theory explains the rise of the separate self - and implies it is an illusion.
In fact, if his theory is correct, then the Universe IS ultimately one consciousness.
...
"if his theory is correct".
Aren't we lucky that it's not. :D
My two teachers together ! Sadhu Sadhu !
What a treat this is!!! Both such brilliant teachers together. I had not heard Rupert so much. Now am going to watch all his talks. Swamiji always inspire. Thanks and Pranam to both these amazing Masters.
I was in the opposite position as you, and I now have added listening to Swami. 😁
Nice to have acquainted Rupert in this Life
He seems to be the incarnation of Lord Brahma himself.
Namaskaram dearest Rupert
Feel like meeting You in person
🙏🙏🙏
It's fun watching them listening to each other's explanations
Great to have Rick moderating!
Nothing to express except to say I am lucky enough to live amongst these great people 🌹🙏
Rick is an excellent moderator and does an great job in bringing various spiritual knowledge to the world. He is also an excellent practitioner. You can tell by the questions he asks.
Rupert Spira, Eckhart Tolle and Sarvapriyananda are my favorites. For the last 50 years, I searched and practiced various spiritual traditions including TM, TM-sidhis, Chopra, Yogananda, Buddism, and many others traditions. I saw in these practices may people lost in the wrong comprehension of the teachings, mostly because of inappropriate guides. When I found these three guides I was overwhelmed. I finally found the answers I have been looking for, for many years. I would like to thank them very much for their honesty, their humility, their simplicity and the extraordinary truthness and clarity of their teachings. They bring me joy and happiness and finally unpertubable peace!
My writing is to express a million gratitude to the team who made this broadcast possible. My humble request to both speakers to propose the topic of nonduality & consciousness to WHO & the world parliament of religious as annual topics on their agendas. To my observation there is very few world spiritual teachers who clearly &
authentically presents this topic as you do. You are both the avatars of the 21st century to teach the open secret of what we are in relation to God. Thank you for your willingness to share wisdom.
"Once the journey **to** God ends, the journey **in** God begins." What a fantastic way of putting it! 10/10
This is like a meteor shower and the Northern Lights viewed all at once! Nothing but love here.
Wonderful dialogue. Thank you Swamiji and Rupert Spira.
What a joy it was to hear the two of you. Thank you Rick and the whole team
Friends lets spread this wisdom as far as qe can. Whetever we can, we must do. To start with us knowing it and introducing our kids, family and ecosystem to this wealth of wisdom!!
This is a masterpiece! I am sure this conversation will serve its purpose for many seekers in the months and years to come 🙏🧎♀️😊
My wish came true! Thank you!
Such a pleasant surprise.
Thank you so much Swami Sarvapriyananda and Rupert Spira 🙏💗
What a gift! Thank you for everyone involved here.
This was so beautiful. Thank you all. Please, please, Swami and Rupert, have another dialogue very soon. Love to you all for making this possible.
I agree wholeheartedly. More would be wonderful!
Just first glance of Two together gave me goosebumps all over my body.❤️...
Rick deserves for the interviewer position. He is a sensible and wise man.
Two gems coming together and the way they respect each other is a treat. Thanks to whoever enabled this.
Devoted Pranams to Revered Maharaj and regards to the other speakers.
wonderful enlightening discussion, so clear, deep and profound xx
Heeey you two!
So thankful for this video!
When they were talking about God a sentence of Sri Nisargadatta came in my mind:
"To see the world is to see God,there is no seeing God a part from the world,to know God beyond the world is to be God"
ॐ ❤
Great to see these 2 guys on together...both are beacons of light in this world of confusion.
Simply top notch, what an honor to have the opportunity to hear such wisdom, Thank you all.
This is a Great Talk! Thanks to Rick for arranging it! "Buddha at the Zoom Chat"
Love this... The "Dream Analogy" at 14:00, and also: the being that I AM, is a "localisation" of the only being that there is. (45:07). I myself have experienced (temporarily, 3 years ago) being AWARE OF being merged with "the beauty". Oh, the beauty [tears of pure joy]
Peace be prevailing with you both.
ജീവന്റെ ജാഗ്രതും ശരീരത്തിന്റെ സ്വാസ്ഥ്യവും ചേർന്ന് സംസാര വ്യാപാരത്തെ നയിക്കുന്നു.

It's a pleasure to listen to all of you ❤
This was a great great session, a complete talk indeed, covering almost all the topics including in depth insight about non dual philosophy, science take on consciousness, direct and progressive paths, doubts about enlightenment and some useful pointers in the end. This is must watch for any sincere seeker of truth.🙏🙏
Thanks Rick to your efforts to bring these two Gems together.
Only a true GENIUS will recognise the beauty and richness of this discussion.
When the SUN shines flowers BLOOM.
Love to all my friends ❤️.
We are one. We are that.
I am that. . OM shanti 🙏🙏
Absolutely fantastic. I have watched many hours/days of you individually, so great to see you both in discussion.
Two of my favorite with GP Walsh.Thank you so much
Thank you for a great discussion, Swami and Rupert you both complement each other. Understanding of The Self that you both have realised, reflects in your personality and your interactions with others. Blessed 🙏
Swamiji pranam and you are simply marvellous non- dualistic vedant guru. The answer to the eternal question " who am I" is you are pure consciousness which illumines this outside world which gives experience of appearing to us as real. This is starting point of our journey to self realization.
I love my Rupert!! So thankful for his existence. His teaching has helped me so so much !!! SO GRATEFUL to you RUPERT, TO YOU UNIVERSE!!!!
A conversation between enlightened beings, amazing.
My two favorite non duality teacher! Namaste everyone!
Watching these beings is a blessing. Everything is crystal clear. Thank you so much for these wonderful videos. While many things are expensive the knowledge to the ultimate truth is always freely available. Maybe this is the reason most people think free stuff is not good. I love you both. You both are my gurus. ❤️🙏
My three favorites 🎉 Thank you for putting this together🎉❤
