swamiji , you keep saying " i have been taken such a long time" , but actually it is the opposite, I CAN LISTEN TO YOU FOR HOURS, they are like nectar to the ears. It is only because of great people like you, that we get to hear & understand the great teaching s of Vedanta so easily and so profoundly. My deepest gratitude to you.
Every time I hear your lecture, I am so elevated with joy! I am speechless. I listen the same one over and over. looks like this is becoming an addiction for me, stronger than my morning coffee! And again, no any other coffee, the special brand!! Pranam swamiji , I am grateful !
It's amazing, I also listen to select few lectures over and over and through the years they take on new meanings. Almost as if they were hidden to me the first times 🎉
Pranam Swami Ji. Passing on this wisdom is the biggest gift you could ever give us. How will I ever be able to thank divine people like you who unconditionally want to relieve suffering of other people. You are an angel send down from Bhagwan. Please keep doing what you are doing and take care of your health 🙏🏻
Thank you, Swami. That was a very clear explanation of bringing the intellectual understanding into the full being. I've so often heard, "Move your awakening from the head to the heart," or "embody" your awakening, but without any explanation of precisely what this means or how to do it.
There is no awakening related to the head. The head is possessed by the “I Ghost” only and only seeks to fulfill all the pleasures it is aware of by interacting with maya. Once you stop interacting with the maya it automatically goes to the heart where the ghost is liberated. When you are no longer possessed then you can see the ultimate reality.
There might come a point in one's lives, when the world and its impermanent pleasures start meaning less and less and following questions Start coming into mind * Who am i * What is the meaning of of this world * How do we obtain a lasting bliss I am trying to search for answers in Advaita Vedanta and Buddhism Swami ji , you lectures enlighten us.
Life transforming talk. Unveiling. Pranams at Swami Sarvapriyananda ji's holy feet. For putting the not wordable bliss into words as far as possible. 🙏
The last four minutes of the talk was the absolute nectar. Swamiji You are blessed by the Divine to be such an amazing speaker who has an everlasting impact on the audiences. May we all taste the absolute nectar of the Great Bliss. Jayatu Shri Ramakrishna.
7 stages of Vedanta 1) Ignorance: We don't know who we are 2) Veil: Maya 3) Error: Not seeing atman Brahman 4) Indirect knowledge: Body, intellect, mind to be ourself 5) Direct knowledge: Life is suffering 6) Transcendent of knowledge: take faith 7) Great Bliss: Realization
I'm able to beautifully overcome opposite tendencies through Nidhidhyasan now. It has become really much easier!❤❤❤ For better clarity of context, of course, after listening to Advaita ideas, questioning for many years, understanding oneness with God.😊
❤🙏Another enlightening and inspiring lecture! 1) 7 stages in the spiritual journey: ignorance, veiling, error and suffering(samsara), indirect knowledge, direct knowledge/enlightenment, transcendence of suffering, attainment of bliss. 2) The 3 factors in the cause of the great bliss: a. Finally realize that you have done what is to be done in human life. Ultimate satisfaction: have found god and found the true self. You have done it all. Nothing is remaining in life to be done. b. That which is to be obtained in life has been obtained. Got the God, infinite, what the life meant, have got. c. What is to be known in life, the search is over. Have known the absolute.
Such an insightful explanation of a Mantra from Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (4.4.12) 'Atmanam ced vijaniyad ayamasmiti purusah Kimicchan Kasya Kamaya Sariram anusamjvaret' which means; when a person realizes that 'I' am not the body and mind, but 'I' am 'Sat Chit Ananda' (Existence Consciousness Bliss), then desiring what and for whose satisfaction or for whose sake for such a person continues to suffer along with the body and mind
Until one goes to sleep and until death occurs, oh mind spend your time in repeating and recollecting this truth. The truth that I am not the body or mind, I am the Witness Consciousness - untouched by them. This is the crux of our pursuit to Self-Realization. My humble pranaams to Swami!
Pranam Maharaj. We could go on listening for hours. You said that you have made it as short as possible. Wish you had not and instead continued and covered this topic in two parts. Can you not? Listening to the talk itself is a great bliss. Thank you.
Everytime he mentioned abt time constraint I felt so bad... minimum 2hrs slot should have been allotted for this talk... V would have been blessed with knowledge bomb....
I stick to Vedanta this knowledge surpasses all knowledge.Where Buddhism philosophy of all sorrow etc ends then the real Upanishads comes and says neti ,neti .
In gospel said ‘until direct orders from God, the words of teacher does not have any effect on listeners. ‘ now swamiji’s words have direct effect.. what else we can say 🙏🙏🙏
Another excellent talk by Swamiji Sarvapriyananda.I would like to add my 2 pennies worth hoping it will help someone..The Holy Trinity:the gross body;the astral body and Atman.
@craigsmith: to your question if this swami is enlightened? there is a great story which would be a perfect answer to this question but will take up too much space. Hence, sharing a Doha/couplet by a great 15th century mystic poet & saint Kabir in India - "Jaati na puchiye saadhu ki, puch lijiye gyan. Mol karo talwaar ka, pade rehne do myan". Meaning, don't dwell into the details of the preacher, value the words & knowledge that's coming out through him/her. He goes on to give an analogy, value the sword how does it matter what cover is it in? Also, when one becomes highly perceptive, one can sense the knowledge that this swami exudes & the whole package can't just be plain intellect. Without divine grace, it is just not possible. My personal opinion, I may be wrong. He looks like a shakta - devotee of divine mother. In the end, when you start assimilating all the knowledge he gives. His status of being enlightened or not won't matter.

Dear Rama, Namaskar. Since you have emphatically said 'you want to place on record' just sharing that for becoming the President of the Ramakrishna Math and Mission he shall have to be brought back to India soon, as one has to be elected a Trustee first - and then from among the Trustees only one can move to higher positions - the President of the Order being the highest. There is a age-bar for being inducted as a fresh Trustee and the monastics who are serving outside India are not considered for Trustee positions. So he shall have to be brought no later than 7-8 years for that.
Ramasubramaniam Sulur This is the glory of Vedic and upanishadic knowledge. He is spreading the knowledge and creating pioneers here in NY and in the USA. He is unparallel in his knowledge. If we can shake the USA with this knowledge, we can claim our great heritage back from the rest of the world. Jay Sri Ramakrishna.

Ramasubramaniam Sulur he ain't gonna return bro. we will make sure of that.
Victor Hugo GLAD that he is liked so much. I am placing on record. One Day He will Head Sri Ramakrishna Math. Then he will have to return.
I too am an old Pondicherrian though born in Mahe and now settled in Geneva who ,like you, await the Swami's discourse.
