Holding to the highest Advaitic Truth & still participating in Buddhist practices & Christian worship without literalism gives me so much joy. Most in the various traditions just don't 'get' what i'm doing, so this talk of Swamiji's has been especially wonderful to listen to! He would understand totally what i'm doing. Thank you so much. I just love the wide embrace of Hinduism & Advaita especially. And i love Jesus too as an awake being -not as the only one, rather as a manifestation of the only One. Gratitude for these brilliant talks. You can hear Swamiji's joy bubble up throughout. That in itself is such a delight! ❤🌟⚘🙏🕉

Advaita Vedanta is like a mirror used to remind us of our true Self Brahman, we needed to polish it so our true Self can be seen progressively clearer while realizing we can never be an object of perception nor conception. Advaita Vedanta points us to our Self while reminding us that we are imperceivable and inconceivable. Thank you Swami Ji!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

1:26:30 Sri Chaitanya says do not do "upasana" do "love" only not physical "vaidi" bhakti they say love not formally worship God that formal worship must be transcended as fast as possible it is Akaarpanyam. Sri Chaitanya says "I am not worshipping formally. I am in love of God." This is the reconciliation in the realm of higher Bhakti. Ultimate Bhakti

Fig tree exactly my condition although i sorted out my life and accepted my fate and decided to keep only few things as my priority

[poushalimitra]

I am quite fear of it now. I don't know the reason. When you talk on Gita you say that Sri Krishna taught amidst the war so by being in worldly life and by correcting individual self can attain that. But isn't it that Sri Krishna stopped the war by his will and Arjuna was already prepared through out his life?. The kind of struggle and also the childhood life, they had to do with dedication I haven't yet done 20% of that. Even when you explain about your early monastic life its all the preparation and hard work, you say it many times. I don't know probably you would say it is possible I too will, because I am loving the path gradually. May be one day understanding will come clearly. But I can feel a monk's lifestyle too now days which was most mysterious to me. the way is not easy, but you are right there's no question of coming back . It's precious.

1:22:00 how does the dualists get enlightened?

[ksoldestaccount]

1:28:50 Gaudapada is said to have written a text of Tantric worship of the Divine Mother. 1:29:00 India was always pluralistic Buddha never was harmed and Jesus Christ criticized the orthodoxy but was attacked ... Ekam Sat. Hindus honored the Buddhists and accepted him as their own. Reabsorbed him into Hinduism. Worship as expression of NONDUALITY want to worship Lord Shiva or Kali Maa or Sai there are two levels of reality paramarthika Shiva and the Selt are one. As the individual being I worship Him. Shiva is the cosmic manifestation of Turiyam of which I am an individual jiva manifestation of Turiyam. You worship Him as Saguna Brahman He is the Destroyer of the Universe as well as the source of the Universe as well as the Ground of the Universe.
