Very powerful! 1994 I visited New Vraja dhama for the frist time, when it was in the beginning stage. Sivarama Swami lived together with the devotees a very austere life giving all credit to his diciples. I am very happy that I happened to take breakfast-prasadam together with him. At the same time I am sad that I felt not to be ready to follow in a strict way. So I must admit that until today Sivarama Swami is one of my main sources of spiritual inspiration. He strictly follows in the footsteps of Shrila Prabhupada. Therfore he is very successful in establishing Krishna-consciousness in Hungary and other countries.
It is a breath of fresh air to hear someone who can talk straight with wit and humor. I haven’t heard too many of my god brothers talk but I like what I am hearing
Thank you for hosting this event! Wonderful video and great points made by presenting debators and Maharaj. I particularly liked Maharaj's argument on following rules and regulations. It's a fact that following the rules and regulations may not necessarily be enjoyable at first because it's directly opposed to our conditioned nature. But through the practice of rules and regulations as per scriptural injunction (vaidhi sadhana) one may eventually (and hopefully) obtain their own personal greed for the goal, no longer depending solely on "scripture says so, therefore I must", at which point it will come from a place of pure spontaneity (raganuga sadhana)
I really liked Maharaj's lecture. Jai Srila Prabhupad and his stalwart servitors. One basic etiquette which I thought should be followed is everyone else should be the sitting lower than Vyasa Asana, anchor as well.
You are your own Spiritual Master, My Brother. Simply pray and mediate in the ways that feel right for you, and look within and find your own Enlightenment. Non of this makes any sense. If we all, have indeed, lived many, many, lifetimes and done goodness only knows what in between lifetimes, then every last one of us have that knowledge and enlightenment embedded deep within our Consciousness, already. It's merely, learning and practicing that technic - whatever it may be - that can take us there. If it's chanting Krishna's name repeatedly in some type of mantra then fine. If it's something else or a combination of things, then fine. Personally, I find that going out and connecting with nature is one good, way to connect with the Supreme. Merely, connect with what the Supreme has brought into existence, and of which It's Energies Permeate, Everywhere. If after all that, you still, feel the need to have some Spiritual "Master" or "Leader" then off course, the choice is up to you. Namaste. My Best. Out.
Prasanta Kumar Barman; Satyemeva Jayete. what valid evidence is there that Ram and Krishna were incarnations of Vishnu. NONE! Sri Ram in rage and revenge murdered Ravana for Sita haran. Krishna Started as a neighborhood CHORE/ 'Makhan chore' encouraged Arjun to ydh and personally assisted the greedy Pandavas in mass murdering the 100 Kauravas, all claimed by Ved Vyas to be sons of Dhritarashtra and Gandhari, statistically and biologically zhoot and bakwas. Why would anyone worship a violent accomplice in mass murder? Think use commonsense unless you want to remain a murk worshiping 1) Hanuman, a flying monkey without wings, aeronautically zhoot, and bakwas. 2) Ganpathi, a composite MURDA to remove live obstacles. Good luck. Do not blindly follow the legacy beliefs of the past. Use your own observation and common sense. Best wishes Bandhu.
Respects ! Felt a lot of unconsciousness there how he kept interrupting everyone & not hearing people out ! I thought chanting japa was to help listening skills to hearing every synabble to help awareness ? Shame it was a controlled narrative ! I think ill keep searching for consciousness in love ! Big love & blessings to all ! I hear you xxxx
Shivji maharaj ki jay. You are the ultimat jagad guru! We love you forever. Your gottbruthers are just dust on your lotus legs. Atma is by nature indian.
I was quite disappointed with the manner in which many of these questions were dealt with. It is stifling an opposing perspective rather than inviting one. For instance, at the very mention of Harry Potter and JK Rowling, instead of allowing the individual to express the point that Rowling found work according to her nature (something the structure of varnashrama may not have allowed), the Swami chose to focus on a rather irrelevant point that JK Rowling is "fooling" innocent children by stories of Fantasy. While this is completely irrelevant and is actually unfairly dismissing the point the questioner is making, the Swami's understanding of the book itself is questionable. Harry Potter is known to be a deeply religious book with almost Christian undertones.
Spiritual Master guides the student towards elevation in bhakti( devotion) so we can learn the way to love and serve Krsna unconditionally. Only by trying to perform devotion by reading books or doing speculation is not possible. As real bhaktas only sleep for two hours, chant lakhs of holy names, see Krsna everywhere. Not possible for us😊😊. Similarly to understand the infinite large ocean of spirituality, through our limited minds is not possible. We can find spiritual master by simply and humbly surrendering to Krsna for having the association of spiritual master. Firstly try to associate with devotees and come to iskcon. Understand the philosophy, ask questions and you will find your Spiritual Master. " Be humble because who want to be cheated gets cheated" 😊😊 To understand the shastras and get the mercy of lord can only be possible by having mercy of our spiritual master and devotees. And Spiritual Master is very necessary in ones life. Even 99 percent people don't know the ABCD's from their birth. How can one expect to discover about the supreme truth by his her own mind? Hare Krsna
He didn't let me finish asking my question because he has knows me for a very long time... I think he was trying to be difficult with me and my brother, who he also knows well. Yes it didn't help the debate however we took this in jest.
Chaitanya Lila P if u r the same girl in the video, then u r stupid, for eg if u want to become a good athlete, u can't have sex all the time, if u want to gain something then u have to sacrifice sonething.. As simple as that.. If u want god u have to sacrifice few things, if u don't want u can go ahead nothing is forced
Some of the best athletes in the word have or had loads of sex. One example is Mohammad Ali. Another is George Best. Some of the best musicians ever had loads of sex. This guru is so arrogant even after he backed Bhagavana back in the 80s who couldn't stay celibate.
With all due respect - They gave you lot of time to speak. You had only one point that if you someone is suprresed of having s*x they would go wild and have mental issues. That's the exact problem they are trying to help in ISKCON, why do you think they make everyone eat vegetables and no alcohol. This will lead to not having your thoughts go wild with romantic feelings.
Foreign Devotees or preachers are very lucky bucause they havent know untochability in their country. But in India where hunduism born we are so much untouchability, castism and differences in devotees like upper caste priority and lower caste deceiving (teach them like 2nd grade citizens)in hinduism.. Its very sad
Yes about dress - a haute cuture person shall be under spiritual counter pull and counterbalance (as for example bieng bothered with the latest shoes, trousers etc which shall bring back the material influence, or the latest skinny dress of the opposite sex which shall arouse sex desires even as an admiration) which shall deter the progress of spiritual attainment. The process shall be longer, but a devotee who deters the material influence shall be able to arrive to that state of mind sooner. Krishnou Krishnou prabhu tumi hey Jana
Even today dalits and tribes are not as equal as upper caste hindus. We feel (bad)shame- why we born as hindu. Even today we are facing discrimination because born from tribes and dalits. We hope it (castism, discrimination, untochability, feeling of upper&lower caste )will abolishes in end of this 21st century.. I am not propagate any system but what is existing even today, that we feel bad.. Even this 21st century we dalit & tribe not as equal as upper caste hindus. Its in their brain (heart) and I think in their holy writs also it must be setright or Correct to this generation. Other wise there is no use(0.0000001%) of hindus(ism) to the people of this world. What I am faced in my previous life this is my story..
This is a great debate but man he cuts everyone off I feel there can be more respect for each being as they do not cut him off when he is speaking but he interrupts almost every sentence
What is the Great Debate about? No information is given in the explanation. Is it about harmonizing parallel lines of authority in ISKCON? That is a great debate. I randomly picked a spot and hear Maharaja talking about wearing a dhoti is being mentioned. Is that what you mean by "The Great Debate". I agree that we should not minimise sadhana, and the dress that goes with it if this is what this is about.
Kula Shekhar prabhu is right, the guru must be self realised. The foremost qualication of guru is that the guru needs to be a Tattva Darshi (BG 4.34) i.e. a self realised person. Naam and Naami are identical i.e. non different. So when a guru is self realised i.e. he has realised his relation with krishna and has krishna in his heart, bound by the rope of love only than he can give real naam because he really has Krishna so he can give it. When a guru is not self realised he cannot actualy give harinaam, it's just air blowing in the ear! You all are being misguided, guru MUST be self realised!

The host introduces the swami saying it's Bhima ekadashi, especially meant for tapasya including no food no water fasting, on that day while the grumpy iscon guru is busy sipping some liquid like emaciated camel. Disgraceful in a way and comic.
Very informative though I feel that Sivarama Swami seems angry all the time and is trying to shoot people down and also not allowing people to finish their sentences. I think more humility is needed in order to change opinions and maybe this guy isn't the right representive.
I don't see any signs of being angry, he is just a teacher teaching the truth for the benefit of all, I think he is exactly the right person, he is not shooting people down he is just smashing the foolishness of this materialistic society that we are living in right now.
GAUDIYA PHILOSOPHY,,,THE GOLDEN AVATAR,,, GURU PARAMPARA,,,VARGA,,,,TRANSMITTED VOCALLY VIA AURAL RECEPTION,,ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE ORIGINAL GURU SRI KRSNA,,,,
For one, the way he handles the intelligent young woman who asks some intelligent questions on sexuality is beyond embarrassing. It is not philosophy he presents to her. He is just being dogmatic. He could have been philosophic, but he was not.
The one thing I find wrong with this exercise of playing devils advocate, this that the swami here, refuses to allow the other individual to fully, develop their thought. He's always, cutting them off midway. Why even, bother with the exercise at all, if that's how it's going to be performed. Let the person develop and express the thought FULLY, then respond to it. Thank You. Namaste. My Best. Out.
10 LAWS MUST; No ABSOLUTELY NOT. Only murks worshiping 1) Hanuman, a monkey, flying without wings, Ganpathi, a composite corpse follows a CHORE/thief. There are more Atheists, Buddhists, Christians, and Muslims in the World.
Hunduism in foreign country somewhat better to compare with India. Here people brain washed from centuries till now with discrination attitude, casteism. Plz guru (sir) come to india, to see my literature and present conditions hinduism.. Recently one guru raped a girl(15y) since 2years. I think because she is a arphan, if its happen to upper caste girl their relatives definately kills this guru.. this guru is advantage person not be like him plz... I never thought this much ill types in social media.. If anything wrong in my words plz excuse me.... 🎉🎉Satyamev jayte. 🎉🎉🎉
this was a one sided debate. The guy in the yellow says his way is the truth. The truth he speaks about is something he has been told or has read in a book. I
kaivalya ayurveda Truth can be found within oneself and truth has already been spoken through the ages like in those "books". The philosophy or "beliefs" that are been dealt here are thousands of years of spiritual knowledge that is not rival by any other culture.
I found that the Swami often didn't let the person inquiring finish their sentence which was a little frustrating. And I really don't see how reading Harry Potter is a problem exploring language and creativity, it's not as if they cant read The Gita as well. We are as humans able to do loads of things and eventually channel our energies to self realisation. A broad reading can be useful for expanding our capabilities.
These people spend entire lifetimes masquerading as so called spiritual-teachers yet are no closer to the truth than when they began. There's nothing like a title or a cause to keep you distracted. You agree and have said it yourself, "truth does not lie in experience", that's all I have to say on the matter.
Is it authentic for HH Swami to be initiating his own disciples instead of initiating on behalf of Srila Prabhupada? SP is the initiating guru for ISKCON and still is, through his books. Otherwise, despite Swami's obvious intelligence, he should not be taking disciples of his own unless he has completely transcended his own material desires by devotion to Krishna he will not be able to process his disciples' karma ( remove sins) and which according to SP himself, is greatly offensive and has grave consequences all round... Perhaps nowadays he does initiate on behalf of Prabhupada.,,, or not. By personal experience, everyone will know, as HH SS himself often states. Does this spiritual master's presence infuse his surroundings with Krishna's peace and bliss?
How can I have faith in any activity which is beyond abstract? Anything out of 5 karma indriya and 5 gyanendriya can't develop faith. The answer to the first question is based on tangible result concerned with tangible object. When we come to an imaginary concept like "God" and especially the Krishna Consciousness movement, Arjuna was guided to perform the activity based on birth rights surrendering towards Krishna. But, as far as present situation is concern we have no such mystical personality to surrender. So whatsoever activity we will perform will lead to hallunicination or destruction of the mind's frame.
Prabhupada didn't make " many spiritual masters" as HH SS claims. He appointed 11 administrators who independently assumed the role of gurus themselves after SPs departure .. and we know what happened to them... and ISKCON in consequence.
It comes down to your sincerity, diet, and your association. If you ain’t sincere and doing the above mentioned, it won’t work. This process is not something cheap. Trust.
We know that the utopian idealism of the Krishna movement like communism can never be achieved. Rules can never impose perfection and with mankind, there will never be perfection or complete liberation. This human dilemma is exactly why Christ brings a solution that does not require 'perfection' . Unfortunately, the nature of the 'Swami' is coloured by his Jewishness as the Bible states they are stiff-necked stubborn and display their version of religion with an intransigent conceit. Sadly the Krishna solution is duality presented here finally as 'all matter is evil' and therefore some 'escape' from life is a solution. Ridiculous.
Swami has a good logic and common sense. Yet Shri Krishna was just a divine aspect, the incarnation of Shri Vishnu. Divinity is much more than one aspect. Teaching only one aspect of the divinity doesn't really give a more global view or all the incarnations/avatars that took birth along the spiritual history of human kind. Learning the values of Bhagavatgita or any other form of spirituality is a good thing anyway, yet not everything. Peace!
Sorin Bunda; Satyemeva Jayete. what valid evidence is there that Krishna was an incarnation of Vishnu? why would the incarnation of Vishnu start as a CHORE stealing butter from the neighbors? Ved Vyas claims Krishna encouraged Arjun to ydh and personally assisted in mass-murdering 100 Kauravas. Krishna's actions make him a violent accomplice in mass murder. Good luck. You could worship pol pot and Hitler too.
MarkusDaWiseone 1 Their enquiry is a sign of intelligence but also their foolishness. A student must recognize their foolishness to learn from a master. No need to lol but appreciate the Q&A.
Considering him a maharathi is long stretch. He doesn't know there are shatavadhanis (100 scholars of various fields) asking questions that are answered by the debater. R Ganesh who did that. There are others very few.
I follow up Siva Rama Swami debates and classes; he is an inspiration to me in many ways, even though I am initiated by him. And in fact, his example as a preacher is worth to follow - I myself do it. However, Maharaja, with all due respect that he has accrued, doesn’t have the qualifications to advise on sexual therapy matters. First of all, he is a sannyasi; and as such he has made a vow about sexual issues: he can’t speak about it he can’t think about it; nor can he engage in it. So, by definition he shouldn’t be giving advice. Asking a sannyasi about sexual therapy issues is like asking a medical doctor to solve all your engineering problems only because he is medical doctor. Ludicrous indeed. Of course, sannyasis will always respond in the simplistic way that Siva Rama Swami does. The problem is that a very tiny minority of devotees will be renunciants with no problem in giving up sexual activity. But the obvious issue here is that the “tiny minority” (sanyasis) can’t expect the vast majority to live by the highly restrained lifestyle that renunciants do. Again, that’s ludicrous. What he is right about is that as we get older, devotees should begin to enter into a renunciant frame of mind, specifically about sexual matters. As we grow older the stamina of males is effectively reduced to almost nil. Hence, biologically the body is asking for abstinence from sexual engagement altogether. In general, and he is right about this, we should not over-indulge in sex; yet at the same time, people have differing needs - especially regarding their sexual appetites. That’s one of the main reasons people do get married. Preaching to them to live like celibates will only destroy their marriages or at least put them in very high risk of. The moral of the story: Don’t ask sannyasis about your sex problems or marriage problems. They can’t help you; and most of what they will say will probably make matters worse. If you want advice about self-realization, then, by all means, sannyasis should be able to help.
I think Swami is equating man made laws and rules with what is imagined to be god rules/laws etc. The question in debate is not what and how man made laws/rules are cause we all know what they are all about, the question that two gentlemen were eluding to supposedly pointing towards how do we know what is god made and what isnt? At the end of the day it is being preached by swamis like him who are just like us ( the human ).
What a pity 😂😂. In india most of all are suffering with caste system. Caste system much powerful like carona virus but foreign believers saying great sessions but they even dont what happening in hinduism.
India became Buddhist because it was a class struggle against Hindu Brahminism by the lower castes the untouchables and its rigid caste system, which the Krishna movement also follows. Christianity came first as a belief in one God and not created as a national political identity.
Why are you speaking without knowledge? the Hare Krsna movement does not follow the caste system. The caste system believes that if your father is a Brahmin then you are also a Brahmin, that is completely rejected in the Bhagavad-gita which teaches that you are a Brahmin by quality and work only not by birth, and that is what the Hare Krsna movement follows.
Instead of answering genuine questions people had for him, he was too busy talking over them and jamming dogma down people's throats. I am not an ISKCON devotee but I love Krishna. This is very disappointing to watch a well respected ISKCON swami behave in this manner.
@@Shizzie-5k Satyemeva Jayete. what valid evidence is there that Krishna was an incarnation of Vishnu? why would the incarnation of Vishnu start as a CHORE stealing butter from the neighbors? Ved Vyas claims Krishna encouraged Arjun to ydh and personally assisted in mass-murdering 100 Kauravas. Krishna's actions make him a violent accomplice in mass murder. Good luck.

I love that there is a debate, but the swami's logic is no where near sound. I grew up in this religion and am thankful for never having had meat in my life because of it. All are hypocrites who have not gone vegan yet. The general idea of following an individual and subscribing to religion is for the non-thinking sheep. I hear these arguments and feel grateful that I now think for myself. The golden rule is great as is general non-violence and meditation.
I did watch the whole video. Ugh! That was very difficult to do. I think mr. Swami gave up interactions with Women and replaced them with supreme ego. It was sickening how much he would interrupt people. Though I understand that that is a requirement to maintain control and power when your power is based on falsehoods and control it's self. Watch Religulous, Think for yourself, Go Vegan, Be a good person because you know it to be right on your own. Following - is stupid. Literally stupid.
Can driving a car in the material world be used as an analogy for Krishna Consciousness results which are nonmaterial? The results are diverse there is no scientific way of defining the practice. Buddhists do not meditate on 'nothing'. It is telling that Sivarama keeps presenting false arguments never stated by the questioner so Sivarama may defeat it. I am disappointed with the "Swamis " debating ability. However much of what he speaks has a truth.
I don't think I could follow this path, as some of it's basic concepts make no sense to me, at all. Absolutely no one can prevent anyone else, from connecting with the Supreme. That is totally and absolutely, up to you, yourself. To me, using these gurus and swamis and so forth, to get to God, seems to be no different than what the Christian Catholic Church does regarding the Pope, which Protestants completely, reject. I'm not saying that you can't learn something from these people but they should never be seen as go betweens or facilitators, as if you are utterly, incapable yourself. Also, what's with all these people being men, as well? That is so, utterly, unspiritual to me. The Daughters of the Supreme are Divine Beings as well, with Highly, Spiritual and Enlightened Perspectives to bring to the table, also. They bring forth the Female Side of the Godhead, which is equally, important for us to be aware of. Just something to consider. Namaste. My Best. Out.
The Swami is a bit arrogant. He is self-deceived if he really thinks he knows the absolute truth. He doesn't understand what dogma is. Dogma is not laws of the state or living according to your parents' rules. It is a set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true. That is exactly what Srila Prabhupada taught and is what he also preaches: no meat, no sex for pleasure, no alcohol and coffee, and chant for several hours a day. I really dislike watching older people indoctrinate younger people with false notions.
Dogma is not laws of the state when u are a lawyer and know their foundations. isn't it the same he is says. U study and understand, same way as western education.
OK, I'm sorry guys, I'm trying hard, not to over comment here, but that was a bet disgusting what was done to that young lady there. She was prevented from getting her point across properly, all the way through and then it was made to seem as if she was talking too much, when she never got her main, point across, first or last. And she was the only women who spoke. If this is typical of how women are treated in this movement then I'm not the least bet impressed, at all. Sorry. My Best. Out.
37:20 - 37:35 Seems like a very Abrhamaic way and approach to explaining this , just saying God said so , so follow. The approach to explain this is to detach the morality associated to the sex act and see what states you can achieve without excessive indulgence. Then it becomes a matter of choice and repercussions based on the choices made.. I do not think any scripture restricts sex for pro-creation only. Every argument of hers was very very deep in nature, and it was slightly trivialized by laughter around.
The purpose and natural result of having sex is procreation, this is science, but of course, you can think and believe whatever you want but that does not change the facts.
17:15 the man say :"why Hare Krishna and not other religion" Swami says" everything is authentic if you go through the proper process" ..NOPE ..nothing is authentic if it does not go through Jesus Christ , all other process is demonic paths ,they do not lead you to the same goal . 17:45 Swami says : "if you do the right thing than you will see the results" well.. you will indeed see the results but given to you by demons not the true God . Swami: "if you want to know God and love him than you chant Hare Krishna" 20:00 , well NO... if you want to know God and love him, than you go through Jesus Christ "no one comes to the father but through me" -Jesus says . How hard is to get that to your minds people! that you either follow what Jesus say, or you follow some bogus gurus like Prabhupada and his disciples,there is NO compatibility between the two . Who is greater authority to you? Jesus or Prabhupada?? if you look closely, you will notice they do not speak the same thing , Jesus path is different than that of Caitanya and Prabhupada; Jesus do not teach you to bow down to idols and plants, he does not teach you 4 regs, he does NOT teach reincarnation , he does not say how God the father looks like, Jesus did not cite Hindu vedas but rather always referred to old testament..AND : he does NOT teach you to chant Hare Krishna!. This two "paths" do not lead to the same thing, rather one is leading to the truth and the other is leading to lies and damnation . After 11 years being in Hare Krishna i follow now Jesus Christ , Jesus is greater authority than Prabhupada or Caitanya .
jeeta, "no one comes to the father but through me," proof of that is?? We don't have to come to God because God has come to us in the form of transcendental knowledge.
manoj singh; Satyemeva Jayete. what valid evidence is there that Krishna is an incarnation of Vishnu. why would an incarnation be CHORE need to steal food/ butter from the neighbors? Krishna encouraged ydh and personally assisted the greedy Pandavas in mass murdering the 100 Kauravas for the inheritance. Such actions make him a violent accomplice in mass-murdering 100 Kaurava brothers. What type of person would worship such a character, only a MURKH. THINK. do not follow the legacy beliefs of the past like worshipping Hanuman, a monkey flying without wings across Bharat, 2) Ganpathi, MURDA to remove life obstacles. Think, Use commonsense.

For instance, at the very mention of Harry Potter and JK Rowling, instead of allowing the individual to express the point that Rowling found work according to her nature (something the structure of varnashrama may not have allowed), the Swami chose to focus on a rather irrelevant point that JK Rowling is "fooling" innocent children by stories of Fantasy.
While this is completely irrelevant and is actually unfairly dismissing the point the questioner is making, the Swami's understanding of the book itself is questionable. Harry Potter is known to be a deeply religious book with almost Christian undertones.

Never lose faith in krsna.
Spiritual Master guides the student towards elevation in bhakti( devotion) so we can learn the way to love and serve Krsna unconditionally. Only by trying to perform devotion by reading books or doing speculation is not possible.
As real bhaktas only sleep for two hours, chant lakhs of holy names, see Krsna everywhere. Not possible for us😊😊.
Similarly to understand the infinite large ocean of spirituality, through our limited minds is not possible.
We can find spiritual master by simply and humbly surrendering to Krsna for having the association of spiritual master. Firstly try to associate with devotees and come to iskcon. Understand the philosophy, ask questions and you will find your Spiritual Master. " Be humble because who want to be cheated gets cheated" 😊😊
To understand the shastras and get the mercy of lord can only be possible by having mercy of our spiritual master and devotees.
And Spiritual Master is very necessary in ones life.
Even 99 percent people don't know the ABCD's from their birth.
How can one expect to discover about the supreme truth by his her own mind?

He didn't let me finish asking my question because he has knows me for a very long time... I think he was trying to be difficult with me and my brother, who he also knows well. Yes it didn't help the debate however we took this in jest.
Chaitanya Lila P if u r the same girl in the video, then u r stupid, for eg if u want to become a good athlete, u can't have sex all the time, if u want to gain something then u have to sacrifice sonething.. As simple as that.. If u want god u have to sacrifice few things, if u don't want u can go ahead nothing is forced
Some of the best athletes in the word have or had loads of sex. One example is Mohammad Ali. Another is George Best. Some of the best musicians ever had loads of sex. This guru is so arrogant even after he backed Bhagavana back in the 80s who couldn't stay celibate.
Bcs you & your brother is
UNIVERSAL IDIOTS 🤷
With all due respect - They gave you lot of time to speak. You had only one point that if you someone is suprresed of having s*x they would go wild and have mental issues. That's the exact problem they are trying to help in ISKCON, why do you think they make everyone eat vegetables and no alcohol. This will lead to not having your thoughts go wild with romantic feelings.
Are you chaitanya lila, and are you disiple of Maharaj? Are you still connected to ISKCON?

Foreign Devotees or preachers are very lucky bucause they havent know untochability in their country. But in India where hunduism born we are so much untouchability, castism and differences in devotees like upper caste priority and lower caste deceiving (teach them like 2nd grade citizens)in hinduism.. Its very sad
Yes about dress - a haute cuture person shall be under spiritual counter pull and counterbalance (as for example bieng bothered with the latest shoes, trousers etc which shall bring back the material influence, or the latest skinny dress of the opposite sex which shall arouse sex desires even as an admiration) which shall deter the progress of spiritual attainment. The process shall be longer, but a devotee who deters the material influence shall be able to arrive to that state of mind sooner. Krishnou Krishnou prabhu tumi hey Jana
A room full of Neophytes. My spiritual master Gandarvi dasa would nail all these guys with his words
Is there any video of his on TH-cam?
Even today dalits and tribes are not as equal as upper caste hindus. We feel (bad)shame- why we born as hindu.
Even today we are facing discrimination because born from tribes and dalits.
We hope it (castism, discrimination, untochability, feeling of upper&lower caste )will abolishes in end of this 21st century..
I am not propagate any system but what is existing even today, that we feel bad..
Even this 21st century we dalit & tribe not as equal as upper caste hindus. Its in their brain (heart) and I think in their holy writs also it must be setright or Correct to this generation. Other wise there is no use(0.0000001%) of hindus(ism) to the people of this world.
What I am faced in my previous life this is my story..

David Randall; Who was Krishna. what did he do in life that would demand any respect.
This is a great debate but man he cuts everyone off I feel there can be more respect for each being as they do not cut him off when he is speaking but he interrupts almost every sentence
Where is discussion happened, which city?
According to Shiva Puran you are encouraged to grow your hair just like any Sadhu in Southern India.
They don't follow Shiva Purana.
What is the Great Debate about? No information is given in the explanation. Is it about harmonizing parallel lines of authority in ISKCON? That is a great debate. I randomly picked a spot and hear Maharaja talking about wearing a dhoti is being mentioned. Is that what you mean by "The Great Debate". I agree that we should not minimise sadhana, and the dress that goes with it if this is what this is about.
This is a really interesting Q&A session. Not sure title is accurate...
Kula Shekhar prabhu is right, the guru must be self realised.
The foremost qualication of guru is that the guru needs to be a Tattva Darshi (BG 4.34) i.e. a self realised person. Naam and Naami are identical i.e. non different. So when a guru is self realised i.e. he has realised his relation with krishna and has krishna in his heart, bound by the rope of love only than he can give real naam because he really has Krishna so he can give it. When a guru is not self realised he cannot actualy give harinaam, it's just air blowing in the ear! You all are being misguided, guru MUST be self realised!

The host introduces the swami saying it's Bhima ekadashi, especially meant for tapasya including no food no water fasting, on that day while the grumpy iscon guru is busy sipping some liquid like emaciated camel. Disgraceful in a way and comic.
Very informative though I feel that Sivarama Swami seems angry all the time and is trying to shoot people down and also not allowing people to finish their sentences. I think more humility is needed in order to change opinions and maybe this guy isn't the right representive.
I don't see any signs of being angry, he is just a teacher teaching the truth for the benefit of all, I think he is exactly the right person, he is not shooting people down he is just smashing the foolishness of this materialistic society that we are living in right now.

You cant have a proper debate when the person asking the question is constantly being interrupted all the time
i agree, although Maharaja is knowledgable, the amount that he was interrupting the debaters was over the limit
They have to submit to Bhagavan in order to become self realized.
For one, the way he handles the intelligent young woman who asks some intelligent questions on sexuality is beyond embarrassing. It is not philosophy he presents to her. He is just being dogmatic. He could have been philosophic, but he was not.
who heard of rs nagga saki 😠😠😠???
The one thing I find wrong with this exercise of playing devils advocate, this that the swami here, refuses to allow the other individual to fully, develop their thought. He's always, cutting them off midway. Why even, bother with the exercise at all, if that's how it's going to be performed. Let the person develop and express the thought FULLY, then respond to it. Thank You.

🎉🎉Satyamev jayte. 🎉🎉🎉
this was a one sided debate. The guy in the yellow says his way is the truth. The truth he speaks about is something he has been told or has read in a book. I
kaivalya ayurveda Truth can be found within oneself and truth has already been spoken through the ages like in those "books". The philosophy or "beliefs" that are been dealt here are thousands of years of spiritual knowledge that is not rival by any other culture.
"every question is answered correctly" only in terms of his particular frame of reference which is entirely conditioned and of the mind,
I found that the Swami often didn't let the person inquiring finish their sentence which was a little frustrating. And I really don't see how reading Harry Potter is a problem exploring language and creativity, it's not as if they cant read The Gita as well. We are as humans able to do loads of things and eventually channel our energies to self realisation. A broad reading can be useful for expanding our capabilities.
We can listen to anyone speaking from their own experience which is utterly meaningless, truth does not lie in experience.
These people spend entire lifetimes masquerading as so called spiritual-teachers yet are no closer to the truth than when they began. There's nothing like a title or a cause to keep you distracted. You agree and have said it yourself, "truth does not lie in experience", that's all I have to say on the matter.
Is it authentic for HH Swami to be initiating his own disciples instead of initiating on behalf of Srila Prabhupada? SP is the initiating guru for ISKCON and still is, through his books. Otherwise, despite Swami's obvious intelligence, he should not be taking disciples of his own unless he has completely transcended his own material desires by devotion to Krishna he will not be able to process his disciples' karma ( remove sins) and which according to SP himself, is greatly offensive and has grave consequences all round... Perhaps nowadays he does initiate on behalf of Prabhupada.,,, or not.
By personal experience, everyone will know, as HH SS himself often states.
Does this spiritual master's presence infuse his surroundings with Krishna's peace and bliss?
How can I have faith in any activity which is beyond abstract? Anything out of 5 karma indriya and 5 gyanendriya can't develop faith. The answer to the first question is based on tangible result concerned with tangible object. When we come to an imaginary concept like "God" and especially the Krishna Consciousness movement, Arjuna was guided to perform the activity based on birth rights surrendering towards Krishna. But, as far as present situation is concern we have no such mystical personality to surrender. So whatsoever activity we will perform will lead to hallunicination or destruction of the mind's frame.
Prabhupada didn't make " many spiritual masters" as HH SS claims. He appointed 11 administrators who independently assumed the role of gurus themselves after SPs departure .. and we know what happened to them... and ISKCON in consequence.
Jesus, der Sohn Gottes, ist der Weg, die Wahrheit und das Leben. Niemand kommt zum Vater außer durch ihn.
How long do you chant Hare Krishna to find out that it works? So far, nothing for me.
Even though I'm Hindu I've never changed Hare Krishna.

It comes down to your sincerity, diet, and your association. If you ain’t sincere and doing the above mentioned, it won’t work. This process is not something cheap. Trust.
Took 7 years for me to know there's something there, more and more accessible after 23 years
I think Ravi was going a bit too far, everyone else was doing great.
I thought the swami didn't entertain counter arguments. I find that style of "argumentation" very insecure.
We know that the utopian idealism of the Krishna movement like communism can never be achieved. Rules can never impose perfection and with mankind, there will never be perfection or complete liberation. This human dilemma is exactly why Christ brings a solution that does not require 'perfection' . Unfortunately, the nature of the 'Swami' is coloured by his Jewishness as the Bible states they are stiff-necked stubborn and display their version of religion with an intransigent conceit. Sadly the Krishna solution is duality presented here finally as 'all matter is evil' and therefore some 'escape' from life is a solution. Ridiculous.
U can follow krishna u don't have to follow iskcon
Swami has a good logic and common sense. Yet Shri Krishna was just a divine aspect, the incarnation of Shri Vishnu. Divinity is much more than one aspect. Teaching only one aspect of the divinity doesn't really give a more global view or all the incarnations/avatars that took birth along the spiritual history of human kind. Learning the values of Bhagavatgita or any other form of spirituality is a good thing anyway, yet not everything. Peace!
Krishna is the origin of all, Vishnu is an expansion of Krishna. Vishnu facilitates your mental lala lands based upon your own worldly desires.
Sorin Bunda; Satyemeva Jayete. what valid evidence is there that Krishna was an incarnation of Vishnu? why would the incarnation of Vishnu start as a CHORE stealing butter from the neighbors? Ved Vyas claims Krishna encouraged Arjun to ydh and personally assisted in mass-murdering 100 Kauravas. Krishna's actions make him a violent accomplice in mass murder. Good luck. You could worship pol pot and Hitler too.
ALL THESE COLLEGE STUDENTS WITH SUCH SO CALL HIGH EDUCATION AND NO COMMON SENSE...MLMAO
MarkusDaWiseone 1 Their enquiry is a sign of intelligence but also their foolishness. A student must recognize their foolishness to learn from a master. No need to lol but appreciate the Q&A.
Considering him a maharathi is long stretch. He doesn't know there are shatavadhanis (100 scholars of various fields) asking questions that are answered by the debater. R Ganesh who did that. There are others very few.
I follow up Siva Rama Swami debates and classes; he is an inspiration to me in many ways, even though I am initiated by him. And in fact, his example as a preacher is worth to follow - I myself do it.
However, Maharaja, with all due respect that he has accrued, doesn’t have the qualifications to advise on sexual therapy matters. First of all, he is a sannyasi; and as such he has made a vow about sexual issues: he can’t speak about it he can’t think about it; nor can he engage in it. So, by definition he shouldn’t be giving advice. Asking a sannyasi about sexual therapy issues is like asking a medical doctor to solve all your engineering problems only because he is medical doctor. Ludicrous indeed.
Of course, sannyasis will always respond in the simplistic way that Siva Rama Swami does. The problem is that a very tiny minority of devotees will be renunciants with no problem in giving up sexual activity. But the obvious issue here is that the “tiny minority” (sanyasis) can’t expect the vast majority to live by the highly restrained lifestyle that renunciants do. Again, that’s ludicrous.
What he is right about is that as we get older, devotees should begin to enter into a renunciant frame of mind, specifically about sexual matters. As we grow older the stamina of males is effectively reduced to almost nil. Hence, biologically the body is asking for abstinence from sexual engagement altogether.
In general, and he is right about this, we should not over-indulge in sex; yet at the same time, people have differing needs - especially regarding their sexual appetites. That’s one of the main reasons people do get married. Preaching to them to live like celibates will only destroy their marriages or at least put them in very high risk of.
The moral of the story: Don’t ask sannyasis about your sex problems or marriage problems. They can’t help you; and most of what they will say will probably make matters worse. If you want advice about self-realization, then, by all means, sannyasis should be able to help.
I think Swami is equating man made laws and rules with what is imagined to be god rules/laws etc. The question in debate is not what and how man made laws/rules are cause we all know what they are all about, the question that two gentlemen were eluding to supposedly pointing towards how do we know what is god made and what isnt? At the end of the day it is being preached by swamis like him who are just like us ( the human ).
What a pity 😂😂. In india most of all are suffering with caste system. Caste system much powerful like carona virus but foreign believers saying great sessions but they even dont what happening in hinduism.
India became Buddhist because it was a class struggle against Hindu Brahminism by the lower castes the untouchables and its rigid caste system, which the Krishna movement also follows. Christianity came first as a belief in one God and not created as a national political identity.
Why are you speaking without knowledge? the Hare Krsna movement does not follow the caste system. The caste system believes that if your father is a Brahmin then you are also a Brahmin, that is completely rejected in the Bhagavad-gita which teaches that you are a Brahmin by quality and work only not by birth, and that is what the Hare Krsna movement follows.
Instead of answering genuine questions people had for him, he was too busy talking over them and jamming dogma down people's throats. I am not an ISKCON devotee but I love Krishna. This is very disappointing to watch a well respected ISKCON swami behave in this manner.
I feel exactly like you!!! Love krishna not iskcon

I WOUNDER WHAT IS THIS HARA RAMA GUY IS TALKING IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. DIFINE HIS GOD. HE TALKS LIKE A RELIGIOUS SCRIPTURE BELIEVER
I love that there is a debate, but the swami's logic is no where near sound. I grew up in this religion and am thankful for never having had meat in my life because of it. All are hypocrites who have not gone vegan yet. The general idea of following an individual and subscribing to religion is for the non-thinking sheep.
I hear these arguments and feel grateful that I now think for myself.
The golden rule is great as is general non-violence and meditation.
I did watch the whole video. Ugh! That was very difficult to do.
I think mr. Swami gave up interactions with Women and replaced them with supreme ego. It was sickening how much he would interrupt people. Though I understand that that is a requirement to maintain control and power when your power is based on falsehoods and control it's self.
Watch Religulous,
Think for yourself,
Go Vegan,
Be a good person because you know it to be right on your own.
Following - is stupid. Literally stupid.
Can driving a car in the material world be used as an analogy for Krishna Consciousness results which are nonmaterial? The results are diverse there is no scientific way of defining the practice. Buddhists do not meditate on 'nothing'. It is telling that Sivarama keeps presenting false arguments never stated by the questioner so Sivarama may defeat it. I am disappointed with the "Swamis " debating ability. However much of what he speaks has a truth.
I don't think I could follow this path, as some of it's basic concepts make no sense to me, at all. Absolutely no one can prevent anyone else, from connecting with the Supreme. That is totally and absolutely, up to you, yourself. To me, using these gurus and swamis and so forth, to get to God, seems to be no different than what the Christian Catholic Church does regarding the Pope, which Protestants completely, reject. I'm not saying that you can't learn something from these people but they should never be seen as go betweens or facilitators, as if you are utterly, incapable yourself.
Also, what's with all these people being men, as well? That is so, utterly, unspiritual to me. The Daughters of the Supreme are Divine Beings as well, with Highly, Spiritual and Enlightened Perspectives to bring to the table, also. They bring forth the Female Side of the Godhead, which is equally, important for us to be aware of.
Just something to consider.
Namaste. My Best. Out.
When people take your info seriously they take you as some in between. Indeed, that's the funny part of your promotion.
The Swami is a bit arrogant. He is self-deceived if he really thinks he knows the absolute truth. He doesn't understand what dogma is. Dogma is not laws of the state or living according to your parents' rules. It is a set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true. That is exactly what Srila Prabhupada taught and is what he also preaches: no meat, no sex for pleasure, no alcohol and coffee, and chant for several hours a day. I really dislike watching older people indoctrinate younger people with false notions.
Dogma is not laws of the state when u are a lawyer and know their foundations. isn't it the same he is says. U study and understand, same way as western education.
the dogma problem is hardly finished; Swami is straw-manning big time
OK, I'm sorry guys, I'm trying hard, not to over comment here, but that was a bet disgusting what was done to that young lady there. She was prevented from getting her point across properly, all the way through and then it was made to seem as if she was talking too much, when she never got her main, point across, first or last. And she was the only women who spoke. If this is typical of how women are treated in this movement then I'm not the least bet impressed, at all. Sorry.
My Best. Out.
37:20 - 37:35 Seems like a very Abrhamaic way and approach to explaining this , just saying God said so , so follow. The approach to explain this is to detach the morality associated to the sex act and see what states you can achieve without excessive indulgence. Then it becomes a matter of choice and repercussions based on the choices made.. I do not think any scripture restricts sex for pro-creation only. Every argument of hers was very very deep in nature, and it was slightly trivialized by laughter around.
The purpose and natural result of having sex is procreation, this is science, but of course, you can think and believe whatever you want but that does not change the facts.
I just saw him debate the psychotherapist...my god so dogmatic
17:15 the man say :"why Hare Krishna and not other religion" Swami says" everything is authentic if you go through the proper process" ..NOPE ..nothing is authentic if it does not go through Jesus Christ , all other process is demonic paths ,they do not lead you to the same goal . 17:45 Swami says : "if you do the right thing than you will see the results" well.. you will indeed see the results but given to you by demons not the true God .
Swami: "if you want to know God and love him than you chant Hare Krishna" 20:00 , well NO... if you want to know God and love him, than you go through Jesus Christ "no one comes to the father but through me" -Jesus says . How hard is to get that to your minds people! that you either follow what Jesus say, or you follow some bogus gurus like Prabhupada and his disciples,there is NO compatibility between the two . Who is greater authority to you? Jesus or Prabhupada?? if you look closely, you will notice they do not speak the same thing , Jesus path is different than that of Caitanya and Prabhupada; Jesus do not teach you to bow down to idols and plants, he does not teach you 4 regs, he does NOT teach reincarnation , he does not say how God the father looks like, Jesus did not cite Hindu vedas but rather always referred to old testament..AND : he does NOT teach you to chant Hare Krishna!. This two "paths" do not lead to the same thing, rather one is leading to the truth and the other is leading to lies and damnation . After 11 years being in Hare Krishna i follow now Jesus Christ , Jesus is greater authority than Prabhupada or Caitanya .
Jeeta Ryo JESUS IS BLACK..HOW ABT THAT JEETA..AND THE BIBLE SAY SO...
jeeta, "no one comes to the father but through me," proof of that is?? We don't have to come to God because God has come to us in the form of transcendental knowledge.

manoj singh; Satyemeva Jayete. what valid evidence is there that Krishna is an incarnation of Vishnu. why would an incarnation be CHORE need to steal food/ butter from the neighbors? Krishna encouraged ydh and personally assisted the greedy Pandavas in mass murdering the 100 Kauravas for the inheritance. Such actions make him a violent accomplice in mass-murdering 100 Kaurava brothers. What type of person would worship such a character, only a MURKH. THINK. do not follow the legacy beliefs of the past like worshipping Hanuman, a monkey flying without wings across Bharat, 2) Ganpathi, MURDA to remove life obstacles. Think, Use commonsense.
