Swami Sarvapriyananda is a Hindu monk belonging to the Ramakrishna Order. He is the current resident Swami and head of the Vedanta Society of New York, a position he has been serving since January 2017. He grew up in Bhubhaneshwar in the Indian state of Odisha. From childhood onwards, he was inclined towards spirituality and was inspired by the lives of Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda. His family was also devoutly religious, who were initiated devotees in the Ramakrishna Order tradition. Swami Sarvapriyananda has stated that his first goal in life was to become a pilot and the second was to find God, with the second goal later becoming his only goal. After passing school, he completed his Business Management degree from Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar. Sarvapriyandanda joined the Ramakrishna Order in 1994 and took his monastic vows in 2004.
Swami Sarvapriyananda served as assistant minister of the Vedanta Society of Southern California in 2015. He was later appointed head of the Vedanta Society of New York, a position he has been serving since 6th January 2017. He was also selected as a Nagral Fellow for the year 2019-20 at Harvard Divinity School.
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.

I am 86. Some fifty years ago I composed a little poem that I like you to read. It goes like this: ETERNITY. I have been the sky , and I have been the sea. I have been the wind and I have been the tree. This is why I know that I was, that I am and after I die, through the quantic atoms of my body I will become part of the earth and the universe, even may be of a human body, during eternity. Thank Swami Sarvapriyanand for reading my poem, I hope you like it.
Well I did ❤

Hi, thanks to the guest and host and the laudworthy discussion. May I offer some constructive criticism - though quite soft, to me personally the background music was distracting enough that I couldn’t finish watching the video. Personally I really, really don’t think it is necessary at all (to make the discussion more entertaining? tranquil?) and that there would be nothing lacking whatsoever if it was just Swamiji’s voice and his pure unadulterated wisdom! Just my opinion
Good raja sadhana to focus on Swamijis voice 😂
Completely unnecessary 😂
No music helps concentration
Swami Sarvapriyananda is Gem
Laudworthy is that a real word??
Swamiji you are a blessing to us. Thank you
Namaskar Everyone 🙏, Thanks Swami Ji , Ms Arora and Admin to bring this gem in front of us. ❤
I can’t wait! You must be brain, for wisdom must conquer intelligence and destroy all.
Namaskaram Swamiji 🙏🌷
It is always a blessing to be with both you and Swami. Everything that transpires is just so appropriate! I bow at your feet for the light of insight.✌🏼❤️🙏🕉
Very informative and enlightening talk from Swamiji .🙏
I am really grateful for the discussions with Sarvanandapriyaji.
Some of us also feel blessed to have known God existed in physical form as Bhagawan Satya Sai Baba. He preached only about purity of heart i.e. love for all beings and service to needy ones. That's more of a path of bhakti. It has been easy path to follow since we have seen His godhood in physical proximity. TH-cam channel is full of His divine experiences. Just instinctive thought sharing without any evil intent.👋
❤️❤️🙏🏼
I have so much respect for you all Angels 🙏🙏🙏
nice answer to suffering
Very nice talk!
Beautiful conversation
Why did one SAT ( सत) does things as bad as rape or torture to another sat( सत )when we say all of us are derivaties if one sat ( सत)
Great question! 🙏🏾💛🦉
हम सत नहीं है , उपनिषद जीव को ही ब्रह्म बताता है मतलब हर जीव के अंदर एक संभावना रूप से ब्रह्म है ( संभावना मतलब जब हम चुनाव करते है सत्य के तरफ जाना ) , जब हम खुद को जानने लगते है सेल्फ को जानने लगते है तो हमे पता चलता है कि हम में बहुत दोष हे और हम बहुत दुखी है ये दुख ब्रह्म नहीं है , ब्रह्म सब दुखो ओर सुखी का आनंदी रूप साक्षी है । ये में हु ब्रह्म , तो फिर इसमें कोई rape ये हिंसा नहीं आएगी , क्युकी में अब खुद को जानने लगा हु , ओर जो रेप करते वो विकारों से अज्ञान से लिप्त है , फिर भी उनमें ब्रह्म को पाने संभावना है । ओर जब वो उस संभावना साकार करने चाहेंगे तब उनके भोग वृति काम होगी ।
उपनिषद ब्रह्म को पाने केलिए नहीं है उपनिषद खुद को जानने केलिए ओर आत्मज्ञान केलिए है , ओर आत्मज्ञान मतलब में खुद के मन को निर्मल करूंगा मुझे प्रेम है इस निर्मलता से ओर द्वेष है गंदगीसे ओर दुखो से यही जानने आत्मज्ञान है ❤😊
you don't know basics of vedanta... firstly there is not even two sats, there is only one sat, so where is question of one sat doing it to another sat? it's like you are dreaming. you and the person in front of you in the dream world are both made of you, they're the same thing, because everything is happening in your mind. so if they try to kill you are YOU actually trying to kill yourself? it's an illusion
We are all conscious beings but our experiences from past karmas, our emotions, likes and dislikes, desires are different. All these are covering the SAT
osho explained this topic quite easily and scientifically
osho is an idiot
Yes, Osho was a Taoist, yet, he may be compared to one who believes Beyond Good And Evil, without with immaturity singing the witches’ chorus.
It takes a lot of courage and character to accept that we are our bodies, and our times are limited and still be moral, compassionate and live a moderate life.
In my opinion it takes even more courage and even more character to be dispassionate and live a dharmic life in a world where the distinction between moral and immoral is virtually becoming non-existent. Survival of the fittest ? Added complexity is who defines what is moral and what is immoral ? And how many people can resist the pointed barb at "you are not smart and you do not know how to live" etc. More and more questions.
Your discernment, purpose and will have not been entirely developed in a single life. A person's circumstances character and destiny are partly predetermined. Inasmuch as one has free will, one should certainly apply it with the best intentions and goals.
@@ananthan8951 Factors that play a critical role in this predetermination are karmA, avidyaa, vaasanaa, ruchi, and prakruti sambandam. All of them work independently as well as inter related/linked in a multitude of combinations. Discerning them and comprehending what we are and what we are not is probably the first step towards vidyaa. IMO. "Not entirely developed in a single life" is very true and it is the very foundation of sanaatanadarmaa vis-a-vis jeevaatma tatvam. This is probably the most important understanding one needs to earn. Once it is comprehended, understood, accepted, realised and internalised in our way of life, one cannot but wonder about the next life/lives and the purpose. I think you have put it succinctly. Regds.
13:18 - Grace vs human effort...child asking mother...it's the mother who gives grace
I wish if you could do a discourse with swami abhedananda of chinmaya mission south africa on vedanta.
Forget even about other lokas, there is no space except HERE and no time except NOW, Where You are, that's the only reality for you. Arise, Awake. No more superstitions, know that you are only dreaming
🙏🙏
Am I the only one who thinks there is an issue your sound recording in all your indoor and outdoor interviews with Swamiji??
There's definitely a problem. Its very hard to understand.
living la vida lokas
Good one...
All good mental exercise. Just theories
The advent of the five vices (Ravan) ego, lust, attachment, anger, greed is the cause of suffering, the Supreme Father the Supreme Soul God does not create or cause suffering. It's because human beings became body conscious from soul conscious that gave birth to the vices.
Mission number two is the search to experience all that God is "not".
-FasterPATH doctrine
GOD loves to make people suffer, GOD better watch out if I every find him.
"Made in the Image of God". Now the attributes ascribed to God are: Omnipotent (all powerful) Omnipresent (everywhere present) Omniscient (all knowing) Eternal (without beginning and without end)
Human Beings are in the very same Image as that, and have all these same attributes in potential. Including (Eternal) existed before birth and will exist after death.
It is about this thing that phycologists call the "unconscious" and Viktor Frankl alluded to in his book "The Unconscious God". God described Himself in the Bible as "I AM" that which is self aware, or aware of a "Self". But also "I AM THAT I AM" or my "Self" can be whatever I choose it to be. An authentic "Image of God" or a "Thought Imagined" Image of Ego false "Self".
But "Image of God" means that everything "experienced" is Self Created. But the thing is that it COULD NOT BE EXPERIENCED IN THAT WAY, if we were always "conscious" that it was our "SELF" who was doing it. So the "Image of God" SELF has to be "unconscious" about the "Creation" part, so we are only aware of the "Observation" part. And the creation part seems to be coming from some EXTERNAL source. (the so called thought created Maya)
Ask yourself this: Why does Brahman not admit that he creates his own suffering? Living in a materialistic world is not possible without suffering.
We are watching your video on a material medium material is most important and it only Exists materialistic and greed are two different things even Belur Math is made up of very costly material the temple could have been a kuti made up of grass and bamboo THINK
But why would GOD create such a complicated life, Swami Ji?. Maya, for example. So much Evil. Sufferings. It could have created a better system, I think, wherein all are happy. No evil. No sufferings. This GOD is Omnipotent. Right?. Still couldn't manage a good life for all of ITS creations here?. MeenaC
Religion is the first step of humans in understanding the world. It's outdated by many hundred years and mostly false. What Swamiji mentoned about the Buddhis's interpretation is somewhat correct. Suffering is all pervasive in nature. Other animals have stayed with natural instincts, so their sufferings (except at the hands of humans) are around the instincts only. Humans have the power of thoughts and over the course of millions of years have developed complex societal systems. Human sufferings are a result of societal interplays. If you could go to a jungle and could live alone in a natural way, your sufferings will again fall back to the ones related to instincts.
Karma itself is the cause of suffering , two things are true at once , when the observer abides in silence it recognises its own blissful nature. Similarly karma happens by beings who identify as the body , suffering , duality ,pain and pleasure is the nature of the body and mind
Not of the spirit
God doesn't create suffering in this world.
Man creates suffering himself.
Like man created god himself.
Or
God made a mistake in creating man...only animals should be roaming earth in a perfect balance with mother nature.
"God made a mistake" lol,it's not God then because God has no fault
Please ask next time that
How can a 15 yr old who had a childhood trauma so the view point changes and then is naturally drawn to spirituality and after ups and downs , comes to advaita and finds that as an only possible thing. But, it's hard to walk that path because all childhood things comes up and world also seems weird along with teenage hormone fluctuations especially by being a female.
Should one have individuality first and be materialistic a bit with ethics and basics of advaita and only then maybe st 18 or after university then only to go in this by being in contacting with Ramakrishna mission because alone it maybe hard, And trusting others too
One's vasanas/tendencies does't end that easily, even after hearing about vedanata. Constant practice with moral life is necessary. its a hard stream to cross even in this age. If you are sincere you should speak to a swami / maas at sarada math about joining them. But remember the strict rules and regulations one who is actually spiritual should keep.
Sree Ramakrishna says you have to long for god as the one whos head is held into the water gasps for a breath of air in order to see him.
Otherwise like Sree Ramakrishna said practice bhakti yoga which is most suited for this yuga, never consider it as inferior to jnana yoga. Childhood traumas maybe hard but nothing is incurable, work on yourself asking god to help, witness the minds fluctuations on varying occasions, love yourself more, be patient. You will certainly be alright.
In the Gospel Shri Ramkrishna hai hai- Householder's life should be like 1 hand with the world and other hand towards God. Once the worldly duties are complete, turn both hands towards god.
Because that was NOT the god you guys are thinking. The real one is coming soon and will destroy all sufferings.
Could you define "soon"? 10 years, 100 years, a billion years? How "soon"?
Islam says only Muslims have right to go in heaven and alla is in heaven who don’t come on earth personally to help Muslims
Isai says jesus Christ will take Isai to god who live in heaven which never come personally to show mercy unto Isaia Christian’s
Sanatan Vedic dharm says
Every jiva / living beings is Sanatani and
Jivas karmas will lead that jiva in different Loka’s and in different yonis
If Sanatani jiv is shuddh bhakta true devotee of Bhagwati Bhagwan so Bhagwan’s parshad will take that bhakt into sanatan divine Loka like Vaikuntha Kailash Goloka etc ( they are far far very far beyond of heaven) and they are beyond material laws and Mahamaya and other mundane things
If Sanatani jiv is ParamhansYogi then that jiv will attain Yoga with supreme god and he will get enlightened and attain parampad / Kaivalya moksha / permanent liberation form false ego/ bodily identity and whole agyan/ ignorance and Mahamaya and mundan law of nature
Lingayats don't believe in reincarnation
First they should define ,what reincarnates
I am commenting on the title. Saying God created Suffering is very wrong. Likewise for Joys. The inevitable nature of Samsaaram is to be a conduit for the discharge of paapam and puNyam manifesting as sufferings and joy by way of actual experience to the jeevaatmaas bonded by their pUrva janma karmaas. God in his infinite and default kind self has designed a very well calibrated discharge system, aka prarabdam to (a) discharge and (b) in the process enable irrefutable insights into the self i.e. jeevaatman and through such insights the very nature of divinity aka Iswaraa. The sambandha gnyaanam between the two sets the stage for paramapurushaartha lakshiyam (Goal). So please don't frame God for your, mine and our karmic experiences. Instead you can credit him for the insights he enables through them. For the aspiring learners, God almighty is dwelling within. He guides and teaches which we call as intuition. Learn to trust it and abide by it and in time just like a flower that blossoms, deep insights into vedaantaa will blossom. Meanwhile, the pursuit of learning (from Gurus, formally as well as informally, which seems to be the order of the day) will stimulate the intellect. But will not be sufficient to make determinations on our own. The goal is not to make our own determinations. But to gain an insight into the wonderful determinations made by the guruparampara. Alas there are so many. How to distinguish ? Delink intellect from our personal likes and dislikes and swabimaanam and stay firmly link with the intuition at all times. It will guide in seperating the satyam from mityaa, which initself is a mityaa. Learning divinity is both complex and simple. After all dualism drives samsaaram.
The question is why did God create a world in which papam is possible?
@@nikkivjyn God created this samsaara mandalam aka world for the jeevatmaas afflicted with eternal karmaa. karmaa is eternal because the jeevatmaas are eternal just like Iswaraa and moolaprakruthi. Eternity is fundamental to all philosophies. It is also fundamental to science (Conservation and infinity) albeit it not being philosophy. The eternal nature of jeevatmaas link to its eternal papa and punya karmaa and God created this world for the discharge of both. The next question will then be, what after mukti. Diverse philosophies are there wrt this subject. According to vishista advaitam, the world that jeevaatmaas go after attaining mOksham is called paramapadam where as you probably wish, there is no karmaa implying no paapam or punyam. Just pure natural bliss and gnaanaa, two side of the same coin kind of inseparable dharmaas. gnyaanaananda mayam. SwAmy Raamaanujaa has detailed all of this in total confirmity to all vedaas and not parts and brahmasUtraa aka saariraka saastram. All that I can say is vedaantaa is a subject that should be studied methodically and such a pursuit is blissful. Trust I have given an idea for you to ponder further. Now, if you do't mind, this space belongs to SwAmy sarvapriyaanandaa and I/we cannot usurp it. Since I was taken aback by the title I commented. Now I am going further beyond the title. It is inappropriate. So let me stop here. Any further interaction if desired then it has to be outside this thread. daasan.
Hmm thats deep
@@vanamalik3989jivatmas are created by Bhagwan. So are karmas and maya.
Nonsense is what is going on!
The question is based on imagination and misunderstanding!
Problems of human beings are purely physical; that is.... the discomforts experienced due to physical problems are taken to the mental plane(psychological plane) and named as problems of life. Physical issues are to be addressed through physical means; psychological imaginations have to be "understood" as imagination which can't be addressed in any other manner except through an understanding the false as false( no physical reality of his / her complaints )!
Those beans who you call God !- Good and bad playing game-with human suffering, and stupid humans bring suffering to themselves, instead of living, good, pleasant life, progress, expand and love, of course😮
Yeah bro those god beans are sly
@@masterchief8042 yes Sir you are correct 👍 😎
Beans? I love eating beans
