One of swami's best! I have been listing to you for two and a half years, since the passing of my 22-year-old son. You've been a blessing in my life thank you 🙏🙏❤️
Infinite Love to you Swami-Ji . . . I regret that I wasn't aware of the Vedanta Society while living back in New York. One of my silly, small dreams is to meet you in person if ever I return to the States even for a short trip. When the sometimes pomp conceit of Raja . . . .and the thunderously burdensome (yet oh so fun) path of Karma Yoga wear at the fibers of my Soul . . . I turn -time and time again- to the poetic elegance and grace of your beautifully crafted Jyana Yoga teachings. Deepest thanks and lots of Love to you Brother.
There are Vedanta Societies in several places. Swami is coming to Durham NC in March. So not sure where you are, but the possibility to meet him is still there

What helped me in my sadhana was to take the teachings literally. It sounds silly and too simple, but it works wonders. Earlier I used to analyse a lot and was disconnected from my immediate experiences in the hopes of understanding reality. But eventually it hit me that reality is something to be experienced, and we are doing that anyway. We only need to be aware of it. And there is no technique to it, you have to take the teaching literally, not merely as a nice teaching to help you. You are brahman. Not metaphorically, you literally are brahman. In fact the mind is what is metaphorical, and the physical body is simply a vessel for these mental archetypes to express themselves. But reality always remains untouched, and that is you. Don't even think that we all are one, because that makes us believe there are others separate from us and that there is some common substratum. No, only you are. Your substratum is not brahman, YOU are brahman. The personality and body is superimposed upon you and an appearance, literally only appearing to the senses. Fear, anxiety, lust, jealousy, happiness, excitement, grief, etc are mental perceptions triggered by the physical body. You anyway cannot avoid them nor hold onto them, because you have no relation with the body and mind. But the body and mind are very intimatley related to you. Whenever you feel small, weak and powerless, it is because you are using your senses to look for evidence of existence-consciousness-bliss. But senses will always perceive only boundaries and limitation. This fundamental shift in the way you live is to be done literally and practically, that will give you true understanding, mental masturbation won't help after a point. Do not delay awakening to the simple truth of brahman, jump into it right away and let go. Let your sadhana be done by ishwara(through the natural workings of the body and mind), you can be carefree and without worries.
1:07:10 5 ways of dissolving the mind 1. Gyani's way: offer the hearing, tasting, touching etc. into the fire of consciousness 2. Bhakt's way: Free of anxiety 3. Vasnatyaga: Giving up all desires 4. Pranayama: control of breath (only for pure minded, disciplined people) 5. Satsanga: Company of people spiritually far ahed of us
Thank you! It's interesting that these can basically be mirrored in Buddhism too. 1. Vissapana meditation 2. Taking refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha (the three jewels) 3. Renunciation / Four noble truths 4. Samatha meditation / anapanasati 5. Sangha
Swami's pure knowledge wisdom sticking to hard core truth is all catching 🎉😊❤. No other Sadhu Saint dares to speak like that. Astonishing spectacular pure heart 💖liberated 🆓 from Maya illusion mind. Monk approach to ultimate supreme reality and world. Pranams Maharaj. 🌎 🙏💓
I got introduced to you via our philosophy course at college. I don't have much time but one day I'll watch all your videos and make notes about it. They are gold.
Listen to just his 6 video talks on 1- jnana/Gyan yoga 2- Raj yoga 3-karma yoga 4-bhakti yoga 5-Purnam (completeness) and 6- Shunyam (void/emptiness) and watch your psyche elevate
Such a beautiful talk on the dissolution of the mind. I have to listen to it again. I met Swamiji at NSC airport by a coincidence and was thrilled to see him in the flesh. He is my virtual spiritual guru.
On the occasion of Guru Purnima, Pranam Swamiji… I do not know how to express my gratitude for your teachings over the years, which has brought so much peace in life…a simple thank you, is just 10 % of my feeling.
“You need to be able to switch off the movie at will”. Wow. What a pointing out. My Vajrayana root guru basically says the same thing but this really landed. Thank you Swamiji. ❤
Growing up in the West, I have found it difficult to cross the bridge to freedom! This mind is like a ping pong ball, going back and forth from the real (that which my mind thinks is real) and to the metaphysical, which 'I' oh so Love! The thick, dense substance of the mind, smothers that 'I' and i'm on the other side once again. In this abstract realm I am blessed to visit, I received a gift I rarely share in the physical world, however this audience feels like the right place so I would like to share this gift that has been gifted to me, here it goes. The essence of who I am, now goes beyond the mind, the heart has shattered the illusion that I am a mere vessel trapped in Time The bondage of self still exists, tethered unwilling to release, why? Because it's attached to the collective unconsciousness that supports its survival Emotional turbulence vibrates The vessel, the blood of the heart spills forth, thus creating a tsunami effect, oxygen disgruntled rushes to the brain, only to find a mind that no longer wants to play. End I feel very lost in this physical world, I've tried to escape it in many ways. I am so grateful to a friend that pointed me in a direction that allows spiritual guidance. Piece to you!
Some 6 years ago, Swamiji had delivered a Philosophical lecture with similar title, " No Mind ". But, I find this lecture more more relatable and offers loads of learning as its more Practical and not Philosophical !
Fascinating that the Swami talks about the two paths at aboiut the 50 minute mark: the path of the yogi and the path of the enquirer. One of the most beautiful and startling lectures ever
"Merge the scene with the seeing. It is just vision. What you see is not apart from the vision of seeing. It is internal to our experience. It is due to the senses experiencing.
Here's the quote Swami "Maddam, be broad minded; always see two ways. When i am on the heights i say Shivoham Shivoham: i am He, i am He!' and when i have a stomach ache i say "Mother have mercy on me" Vivekananda So basically turning to the personal God in times of difficulty.
@@thrinethran2885 probably certainly true regarding vasanas and desires. I know in my own case I had practiced meditation a couple of hours a day and much more on retreat around the same time as I was encountering Vedanta.This is some years ago now. I had a couple of moments in meditation when the body was completely relaxed and the mind resolved in such stillness that it was almost an effort to return to any awareness of the bodymind. Afterwards many of the truths of Vedanta started to become absolutely clear, primarily that what I am is never an object. The whole teaching of the seer and the seen was rock solid and has remained so. Same with non doership (because obviously i the Self do nothing), though aware of actions being performed, they aren't mine, so no identity gets picked up as a good doer or an evil doer. That was very freeing. Although I wasn't formally meditating so much after that another dissolution occurred spontaneously that resolved this lingering fear of death or disappearance. The states seem to exist and cease to exist in me, but I never come into existence and what I am in myself is fullness, lacking nothing and even if the whole world disappears i never do. That was revealed and not just some intellectual conclusion. So not to bore you too much with my story, what I'm driving at is although I guess dissolution came easy in my case and there were certainly liberating breakthroughs, I still suffered a degree due to residual vasanas. I once went to one of those nadi places in south India because a friend wanted to go. Anyway, they told me that I'm experiencing amrita (deathlessness) which was true because I realised the unborn deathless nature of what I am. And they said whenever you want you can be absorbed as that, but some time (12 years hence) you'll be properly detached like a dew drop on a lotus leaf and teach love without attachment. At the time i was shocked, because what more does one need than to know one's immortal Self nature.. but no I had various difficulties even after that and it was only after having cherished attachments broken that a new truth started to dawn. That when I'm not attached to anything in particular then Love is always present and for all. It's the particularising of Love that was the hindrance. The insistence that I need this particular relationship or this particular circumstance to be be happy means I am destined to be unhappy, but if I have no such insistence and I have the faith that God (satchitananda) is enough and all desires offer nothing essential that isn't already here, then gradually we can be free of the allure of desire. I think this is where devotion helps.
@@thrinethran2885 In my own case I practiced meditation for hours a day and more during retreat around the same time as i was encountering Vedanta. So when dissolution occurred during meditation the truths of Vedanta started to become firm knowledge. Even when I stopped meditating formally dissolution wasn't finished with me haha. So somehow Tatwa Bodha and dissolution are intimately related in my case. I don't know how much God is needed for meditation, plenty of religions like Buddhism practice meditation but aren't necessarily interested in God. Where God helps a lot I feel is in the realm of desires and residual vasanas. I remember once I went to some nadi place in the south of Tamil Nadu not long after I had this breakthrough where I lost the fear of death (since I was never born) and they said you're experiencing amrita (deathlessness immortal bliss) and you will be able to be absorbed as that whenever you like.. but 12 years hence you'll be truly detached like a dew drop on a lotus leaf and teach love without attachment. So this became a kind of koan I guess.. what is unattached love. I don't know about teaching but what happened was I realised I couldn't attach to the people and circumstances I loved even If I wanted to.. and after some devastating heartbreaks in life the clouds parted and it dawned that when I'm not insisting life be any particular way, that I need anything or anyone particular then my love isn't particularised and is always present. Hard lesson and much easier with God, because God is the fullness, the reality and bliss that is now, which the allure of desire only promises to give us, but can't.

🙏🏼 Swamiji we are deeply indebted to Shri Ramakrishna SharadaMa and Swamiji for flowing their power through you and giving us enthralling experience of your deep sweet satsang 🪷 Please accept my deep heartfelt gratitude to you for your masterly effort in enlightening our souls with your pearls of wisdom and experience 🙏🏼
Dear Swamiji , you truly liberated my body by pointing out its reality. Thankyou for telling what Ramakrishna Paramahamsa said about the pain in his body. Pranams.
असंशयं महाबाहो मनो दुर्निग्रहं चलम् | अभ्यासेन तु कौन्तेय वैराग्येण च गृह्येते ||. अर्थात् :... Yes it is difficult to control the mind.. Through power of Vyragyam and Practice Mind sense come under control
Only India's ancient wisdom and tradition can produce such a lineage of great teachers of Vedanta, like our Swami. We are blessed to listen to his wonderful lucid commentaries .
My thanks to Swamiji but equally to the people who have checked, verified and edited the running caption. It has obviously been worked on post production. Without it we all would miss the nuggets that lead to further study, introspection and ultimately...clarity. My pranams to all workers in the background🙏🙏🙏
Jiddhu Krishnamurti did not say, "I don't care what happens." He said, "I don't mind what happens." This is an important distinction because not caring sounds hard hearted. That, alone, can provide an excuse for the ego to reject everything else he taught.
Yes you are right. But you are playing with words. Because outcome of both statements means, you are untouched by it. Its just the attitude level associated with those words (mind and care). If you go one step within you will understand that your ego wants to uphold jkrishnamurti statement.😊
@@aritrachatterjee8057 Yes, because I know that it's easy for atrocities to be justified when wrapped in spiritual/religious language. Krishnamurti chose his words carefully to try to convey exactly what he meant, fully aware of how easily and destructively loose phrasing can be and is misconstrued. I honour that.
Swami Sarvapriyananda is a highly evolved soul . He is aware of what you are conveying …. Man of that stature. just want to express the detachment . Don’t mind sound sober but don’t care does not mean arrogance … It means jibon Mukta … completely free … it does not matter
Thank you Sangam Talks and the speaker for bringing this issue along with the facts associated. There’s malice involved in the way the makers of the series/movie and Netflix has to also be taken to task for allowing it!
He explains it so well especially the point of materialistic and spiritual when we are concerned with the world and when we are concerned with the mind respectively
Namonamah Swamiji🙏 thank you for sharing the sacred dnyana of Advait Vedanta. Love your videos. Seeking your divine guidance. I understand our soul is pure Brahman and the one that remains untouched (Observer). Then, what is the carrier/vehicle of Karma to next life. Pls. Pardon my ignorance if this has been answered in other sessions. 🙏

I don't know about teaching but what happened was I realised I couldn't attach to the people and circumstances I loved even If I wanted to.. and after some devastating heartbreaks in life the clouds parted and it dawned that when I'm not insisting life be any particular way, that I need anything or anyone particular then my love isn't particularised and is always present. Hard lesson and much easier with God, because God is the fullness, the reality and bliss that is now, which the allure of desire only promises to give us, but can't.
In my own case I practiced meditation for hours a day and more during retreat around the same time as i was encountering Vedanta. So when dissolution occurred during meditation the truths of Vedanta started to become firm knowledge. Even when I stopped meditating formally dissolution wasn't finished with me haha. So somehow Tatwa Bodha and dissolution are intimately related in my case. I don't know how much God is needed for meditation, plenty of religions like Buddhism practice meditation but aren't necessarily interested in God.
Where God helps a lot I feel is in the realm of desires and residual vasanas.

Pranam and salutations to our guruji. Thank you for imparting Devine love and knowledge to all far and wide and for making it so accessible.
Swami thanks so much for sharing this content. In this remote place in the world that i'm in. It is a blessing for me to be able to access this wisdom
Thankyou Swamiji, since I have started following you - don’t wish to follow any other podcasts. Hope to see you in person soon ❤
This is a great talk loaded with great spiritual teachings ❤
Only India's ancient wisdom and tradition can produce such a lineage of great teachers of Vedanta, like our Swami. We are blessed to listen to his wonderful lucid commentaries .
My thanks to Swamiji but equally to the people who have checked, verified and edited the running caption. It has obviously been worked on post production. Without it we all would miss the nuggets that lead to further study, introspection and ultimately...clarity. My pranams to all workers in the background🙏🙏🙏
Jiddhu Krishnamurti did not say, "I don't care what happens." He said, "I don't mind what happens." This is an important distinction because not caring sounds hard hearted. That, alone, can provide an excuse for the ego to reject everything else he taught.
He said in a video , i remember it
Yes you are right. But you are playing with words. Because outcome of both statements means, you are untouched by it. Its just the attitude level associated with those words (mind and care). If you go one step within you will understand that your ego wants to uphold jkrishnamurti statement.😊
@@aritrachatterjee8057 Yes, because I know that it's easy for atrocities to be justified when wrapped in spiritual/religious language. Krishnamurti chose his words carefully to try to convey exactly what he meant, fully aware of how easily and destructively loose phrasing can be and is misconstrued. I honour that.
Swami Sarvapriyananda is a highly evolved soul . He is aware of what you are conveying …. Man of that stature. just want to express the detachment . Don’t mind sound sober but don’t care does not mean arrogance … It means jibon Mukta … completely free … it does not matter
Jiddu Krishnamurti Murti was the Biggest Vedantin of 20th century.
He was truly a realised man. A Buddha he was

Thank you Revered Swamiji for this insightful rendition 🙏 So deep and peaceful… that the reflections continue long after the video is over…
Thank you Sangam Talks and the speaker for bringing this issue along with the facts associated. There’s malice involved in the way the makers of the series/movie and Netflix has to also be taken to task for allowing it!
One of your best talks. It flows naturally as questions emerge.
Namaskaram Guru 🙏🙏🙏
He explains it so well especially the point of materialistic and spiritual when we are concerned with the world and when we are concerned with the mind respectively

Seeking your divine guidance. I understand our soul is pure Brahman and the one that remains untouched (Observer). Then, what is the carrier/vehicle of Karma to next life. Pls. Pardon my ignorance if this has been answered in other sessions. 🙏
Pronaam Swamiji
Enlightenment is instantaneous, self-realization takes time. Integration of shadow and light is hard labour and is every moment's task.
Pronam Swami ji 🙏🙏🙏❤️
