This is a masterful lecture. You aren’t likely to get this level of information on Advaita Vedanta from top universities around the world. Well done sir. 🙏

[akshaysahu]

Very good session to practice the right way of chanting Om and the meaning of 4 states.
Looking forward to learn more.
Thank you Swamiji🙏🙏.

[knowthetruth]

No one has ever explained this truth to the core like you swami here one can automatically be enlightened ❤❤❤❤

[malaselvarajah]

Awesome thankyou swamiji 🙏
When one relates to the primary understanding that all is conciousness, then everything else can only be the mind including the questioner and questions, it's surreal to think that this whole lecture and each person including me, is nothing but a dream manifest !
Thank God for Vedanta and these brilliant teachers that help educate us to this truth 🙏

🙏🙏🙏 Just great Swami. Vedantha seems so easy to understand through your lectures. This lecture seems one of the most insightful. Aham Brahma asmi.

[vanamatrika..]

Existence depends on knowability,
Knowability depends on knower
Knower depends on consciousness
Which depends on something else is false....it is appearance, as name form usage
The name form n usage comes in three states, waker, dreamer, deep sleeper...but reality exists as the basis of of these three, that is fourth or turiya, the consciousness.


Second time listening...and still awestruck with a sense of humble but respect for myself.

Pranam swamiji....this is really the most precious gem.

Even the om...om is everything....within time n transcending time...and that is brahman, that is atma, the self...and that is I.

[rameshkhare]

Swamiji pranam, what a great teacher you are? Charan sparsh.

[yogiepanday]

I love the way swami ji is about to say experience but suddenly stops at "x"... Prostrations Swami Ji

[johnathanedwards]

Thank you so much Swami Ji for spreading the Supreme Truth on Youtube, because of your selfless work many people are realizing their Brahmanhood and waking up from the dream of form. Thank you for causing the truth that Brahman is real, the world is an appearance, and we are Brahman (Non-dual). This is so awesome, it is like a man waking from a dream and saying with all conviction, "it was not real" but I am real. Namaste Swami Ji!!!!🙏🙏🙏

[msharini]

Such a great question about Gravity (Chapter 1 Mantra 2 discussion).

[poushalimitra]

Understood . Mandukya upanishad has to be gone through thoroughly.

My mother's name was (Late) Gayatri ... after my initiation I(13yrs) had told my KulaGura that I need to call 'Maa Maa' for 108 times & my Sandhya would be over.
