- Part one (of three) of a retreat given by Swami Sarvapriyananda at the Santa Barbara Vedanta Temple on Saturday July 29, 2017.
We are grateful for your support · vedanta.org/give
I have been listening to and interacting with teachers from Bob Thurman to Sailor Bob Adamson to Rupert Spira et al and I am convinced Swami Sarvapriyananda is the best of them. For MY purposes at least. And that's not to take away from any of the others because I truly enjoy and learn from each. He just has such a good rapport and ability to present simply. I feel so fortunate to have found these videos. Truly a boon! namaste
You should check out Alan watts . I find him a better teacher and yes i have heard all the people that you mentioned . Ofcourse these are just opinions
@@glamour7538 I love alan watts lectures! I've listened to every lecture of his I could find online. He's the one who convinced me to see creation from atma as a dance. good choice!
People arguing about who's the best spiritual teacher. Humans are god damn fascinating.
Jeff I welcome you to Hindu community and feel happiness throughout the life! :)
Ramesh Balsekar is an outstanding advaita teacher on TH-cam. Very accurate and incisive teachings.
I love this stuff. How lucky we are, to live in a time peroid where we can listen to these talks without ever leaving our kitchens!
amen to that. The benefits of technology starts with our own internal searching!
I like the way you said kitchen and not home 😂
Vedanta in an hour. God might be awfully good at pretending to be not God. But swamiji is awfully good at explaining everything! I can't put it into words how grateful I am!
Osho introduced me Advaita 40 years back, and it gave me a new vision in life. I was born a Christian in India but found it, like the other 2 Abrihamic religions, supremisist in nature (only we are Gods chosen people). Advaita is universal and all inclusive. Stillness of mind is the path to Moksha.
can You please answer me , i have a question ..
Whatever is an object of consiousness cannot be the you , because you can see it , there exists a distance .
The Human eyes can see everything in this world , except themself
so by that logic , no matter what I ( consiousness ) do , i'll never be able to experience / know myself !!
because if i can experience / know myself , then that is not me !!
@@glamour7538 get in the practice of stilling your mind a few times a day..
The rest will fall in place. 🙏
@@laika5757 I will try that , i'm 20 btw. Thanks
Me too. I am so grateful 🙏🏽
thank you so much Swamiji!!!!!I have never met you , but I'm studying so much with you that I consider you one of my very few
beloved teachers! Such a clear mind, a fresh spirit and a charming way of conveying issues!!! gratefull
❤️❤️ beautiful....many are going through mental suffering these days, hope more and more people experience atleast a drop of spirituality. Million thanks to Swamy 🙏
He's such an amazing teacher!
I am so happy to listen to your discourses. What grace! You’re so detailed and logical in your talks. So brilliant so enlightening. It was only 2 weeks ago I discovered you. Namaskar.
Beginners will get an amazing clarity through this video of swamiji 🙂
Thank you swamiji for your great work 🙏🏻
Swami Sarvapriyanandaji..it is one of the greatest teachings i have ever received. Before receiving this wonderful wisdom, I was believing that I am only a mind (with million years of karmic imprints) with a body (due to the karmic imprints).
1. Life is a mere series of experiences of the consciousness and we are not the experiences, but the witness of the experiences.
2. Each experience (object of) / thought is changing but awareness is not (subject)
3. In deep sleep, there is only an experience of absence (not absence of experience).
4. We have this world experience due t o the unchanging awareness which is nothing but MYSELF.
It clears many doubts on the understanding of myself and the world around.
I could not only imagine, but can visualise/ feel well that I am the unchanging consciousness/ awareness experiencing in my body and ever changing mind.
Feel like touching your feet virtually. Kindly accept my virtual surrender to you and bless me for ever..
I am hope full of meeting you personally soon. Keen to practice practical methods to keep me awake with this knowledge for ever and overcome this worldly struggles though I feel like much relieved now with this invaluable knowledge.
The thorough understanding of Advaita Vedanta reflected in your comments is, in my opinion, the true surrender.
To search, to seek to find, externally is to wander endlessly and fruitlessly. Observing to within is not to find, but to see! , all that love, light and life is!, and shall continue to expand and be.

Something about Swami Sarvapriyananda is so benign and mysterious.
I wish I can realize these deep understandings one day fully
No comparison to the knowledge beautifully explained & very well delivered by Swamiji. Wish I could put thousands of likes. Thousands of thanks to Swamiji.
Best teacher of vedanta :)
Shiva Balasingham ", . ... Not now
The
Advaita vedanta to be precise
Swami is doing a fantastic job at presenting non duality! I like the fact that it is equally valuable whether or not we understand it, Brahman playing enlightenment games...now what could be more fun than this?
pranams swamijee,allways you are so clear on advita vedanta,pleasure to listen to you.
I like this man's clarity
Great of SWAMI Sarvipriyananda to explain a difficult subject in simple words
🌹🙏🏻💐
I love this guy, he’s very smart
Swami Sarvapriyanada is a force of nature
Thank you very much Swamiji 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
In the age of knowledge, ignorance is crime.
Excellent.
I am! All are! When the path is walked, walking may not cease! Hahahahahah! It is wonderful to know the truth that is known always! Colm Ireland We may meet one day!
thank you once again. ....for so much ...truly beautiful
This video must be seen by as many people as possible.
an amazing teaching!!!
Pranam swamiji I'm blessed to listen your teachings
swami dropping serious wisdom, Aham Brahm Asmi.
Venerable Swami, Thank you for the teachings & guidance 🙏
You are a great teacher.
Thankyou sir for throwing light on the real self it has proved to make an understanding thankyou very much. A very happy new year to all
That blank space is my happy place. It's quite and I can rest better. When I dream, my body is often disturbed.
Awesome! It is like hearing about Tasty Mysore Masala Dosa, Reading about it and finally Tasting it at an authentic restaurant. Similarly, Reality can be Experienced only by regular Meditation.
It's amazing . During the listing I feel that I'm with you.....
The mastery of Swamiji is evident from the fluency with which such a complex issue. As a mere mortal there are many doubts that appear and clouds the approach to the path of knowledge and clarity. How can these be overcome?
By perseverance and detachment as taught by Nisargadatta Maharaj in I Am That.
A sufficient dose of mushrooms will eliminate doubt, but you'll have to work for clarity.
I wish strongly to meet u Swamiji once in this life time and take blessings from you 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Many thanks Swami. God bless you
I always follow him.
Thank you! ❤ I like how what was said about dreamless sleep resonates with the physical research of vacuum and field: the thing called the Universe, in moments of the equilibrium of absolute vacuum, does not disappear anywhere, it is simply empty, without objects, absolute calm, non-duality, singularity.
Eternal Infinite purity is our nature 🌺✨🌺🌺
Pranam swamiji
Pranams and thanks a bunch Swamiji
thank you for this tremendous insight🌠🙏
Pure Gold.....Thank you....!!!!
Om namah Shivay !

Excellent swami ji. I love your explanation !👍👍👍

Param Pujya Swamiji, I have a strong feeling that, "Thou art the Incarnation of Adi Shankaracharyaji who propagated Adhvait Darshan."🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Namaskaram Guru 🙏 🙏🙏 🙏🙏 🙏
Indeed...great communicator, with a sense of honesty and the right attitude...that must be a gift.!
I would not trust a person Who knows that My saved dream pizza will be gone.
The only way he can know such a thing, is if he himself enter your dream. And he does, and he is the one stealing the pizza. 🤪
Very powerful speech
Can someone please write me the name of the book that he talked on 13:20? I`m trying to find it for a work but i just can`t find nothing! Thanks!
Pancadasi by Vidyaranya, English translation by Swami Swahananda

Consciousness is not changes, your experience based on your understands of situation and previous experience in this area changing . We must understand each one us is conscious beings. Try to omit garbage in our life is best thing we can do to have a more comfortable life.
i agree with combining all 3 of those paths.
we are all that is, which always grows. and we have parts to us. i think we should operate with the awareness of the whole while including its parts. one part is experiences.
Sat Sri Akal
Excellent !
🙏swamiji
Thanx!!!
From 28:00 Advaita is said to claim that deep sleep is experience of absence. I think of consciousness as an on/off state. And the nondual existence is the Word of God in Christianity and Brahman in Hinduism. It's the Word of God (John 1) that switches on and off our personal and individual (Atman) consciousnesses. So my point is that consciousness defined as a state allows on and off of that state. And the mind is that which consciousness is aware of. Also, the Bible makes a clear distinction between our fallen world which is a limitation and the kingdom of God which is the unveiling of the fallen world into a vaster intelligence. Does Vedanta describe that higher intelligence and a new earth without death?
No but Christianity promises eternal life through God. Which is the same thing.
52:50ish
Our physical beings are the reflection of the light of Om

great
Om peace peace peace!
Whoever is in charge of the audio recording of these sessions...please find out how to do it correctly. Such a fantastic talk disrupted by horrible recording quality.
🙏🙏🙏 Guruji
I came across Advaita 40 years back via Osho. It changed my life forever. Thanks to the Vedantic path. 🎼🎶🎵🎸
Fleeing into another ignorant lala land, it's fear based and obviously completely useless.

Thank you very much for uploading these videos.
It seems that the clarity of the video (inspite of watching on HD settings) still needs adjustment. Video quality needs to be sharper - perhaps focus needs to be adjusted.
Only if one doesn't care can one not suffer. If one learns from suffering than the suffering had its purpose.
Swami Sarvapriyananda i'm is waiting for further videos from Aprokshanubhuti. when can we expect the other videos/

To me Advaita Vedanta is a dualistic tradition. It teaches this world is unreal and somehow separate and unreal from God. That is dualism. Trika Shaivism really teaches true oneness with the phsical world which is simply the Shakti of God, which is an expression of God and not unreal or separate. Pranam 🙏
DurgaBhaavini Rose that means you didn’t understand anything what he said...
Thank u sir
This was such an inspiring video...when will see part one and two?
Opps...when will see part two and three.....and then I saw on Ytube the next two sessions...Wonder filled.....
I think of consciousness as a state of being aware as a self. A state is nothing in itself. And consciousness is an on/off state. This explains I think how one person can be in deep dreamless sleep (consciousness off) and other people in the waking state at the same time (consciousness on). Brahman is timeless information and each Atman, individual eternal soul, is a unique point within Brahman. A point doesn't contain anything yet is an individual self. Christ is the movement through Brahman (the Father) from past to future in the eternal now moment.
Sat-Cit is providing the appearance of 'subject' to the subject-object awareness-experiencdynamic. Sat-Cit is discernable to mind/intellect as a contrast to the changing but Sat-Cit is not aware of 'otherness.' Brahman is not being freed, the mind is being freed from the illusion of independent selfness/suchness.
Namaskar to Swamiji. Condensed light is matter and rarified matter is light. The hand and light are made up of the same 'thing' if you go to the root of both. i may be interpreting wrongly but when we say all is one this is what is implied that it is the same energy and intelligence with different names and forms.(E=MC^2)
Always and continually the beasty Tamas has to be upraised- a challenge since the bodies exist autonomus even in deep sleep. A tremendous task to rise Father awareness into a techno captured world. 😊 Kudos
Does Vedanta have any explanation for what happens to awareness during general anesthesia? I was deeply disturbed the first time I experienced it. It is like blinking your eye and hours have passed. No awareness whatsoever - not even awareness of nothing.
I see all life equally imperfect/perfect, and that humans are NOT proprietarily afflicted with inefficiency (Ego) separate/distinct from all other life. I see this inefficiency in all life! Tornadoes, cancer, landslides, tree diseases, riverbank collapses, meteors, supernovas,. The violence 'Life is cruel' observations are the same. 'Ego' is the area of overlap where a cycle of life (aura) begins a new expansion from its contraction. Smallest vibration to the largest (universe) are this same cycle of life.
So 'Ego' is creation.
Why there are boundaries/differences/discussions (communications) ,.? The variable interactive dynamics going on between energy entities are via universal repulsion/attraction energy, guiding all lifes things/beings (actions, thoughts and words) from/to their compatibility. Is,- vibration, color and sound (the variations of vibrations that make up the Periodic Table of Elements). So the interactions are either competitive (Inefficient) or cooperative (efficient). Although variable, all life is Dual/Non-dual (competitive/cooperative balanced).
Mind in itself can make a Hell out of Heaven or a Heaven out of Hell;Ego,is your thoughts and Disease death cancer,Pain is you experience.......
Cancer and Tornado are objects of awareness. Mind due to ignorance and social conditioning labels them BAD. After labelling it BAD it tries to RUN AWAY from it. When it can't RUN and gets CAUGHT it produces 'Distressing' EMOTIONS . These distressing Emotions are then used by Mind as evidence to prove its early proposition that CANCER is bad. This a vicious cycle of Avidya (ignorance).
@@Kim-jo8px Thus one has to fully surrender to Supreme Being and seek blessings, who alone can take us away from bondage. There is no other way.
