The Purpose of Life is...WHAT? A Vedic Perspective.

Vedic scriptures don't specify a single goal of life, they specify four - kama, pleasure, artha, wealth, dharma, righteousness, and moksha, enlightenment - four purusharthas. Q&A with Swamiji #10.

The sages of ancient India, the rishis, had a holistic view of life, recognizing both the value and limitations of worldly life (samsara) as well as the importance of transcending worldly life to become enlightened through the discovery of the ultimate source of contentment that lies within us all, the so-called inner divinity called atma, the true self.

Dharma protects the one who protects it. Aum Namo Narayanaya 🙏

[onetwozerojourney]

As an Indian, though I have heard about these four goals, I did not know the dependency among them. This video has made it clear to me that unless the first three goals are pursued, last one the Moksha will be difficult to attain for majority of human beings. Thanks Swamiji

[kirtisagarbaral]

So simple explanation of complicated concepts ... Thank you Swamiji !

[Pallab]

Very important lucid explanation from Swami ji, sincere Namaskaras to swan ji, it gives proper direction to conduct life for the spiritual seekers

[ustinovvadim]

Swamiji, thank you!
Self-knowledge is truly the most worthy goal in life.
The one who is Awareness itself, Sri Ramana Maharshi, said these words about it:

For a jiva who is suffering due to dying and taking
birth,
the most worthy thing to do and to attain with full love,
is [to have] the experience of the great state of Jivan-mukta,
having subsided and known [its own true nature],
so that the rising [of the ego], which is the coming to life [of the jiva]
because of [its] forgetting its own reality [Self], may die.

The supreme experience [brahmanubhava] –
which
has the glory of not knowing any other thing –
of the great enjoyer of the bliss of true knowledge [meyjnana-maha- anandi],
who has attained the state of Silence [mouna], the form of That [tadakara]
which shines triumphant on the destruction of oneself [the ego],
cannot be conceived by anyone whosoever.

Wonderful explanation! Hearing this again gives a different perspective. Not enough to listen once!

[Decoder-One]

[vsp]

Thank you Swami Tadatmananda for sharing your wisdom ☘

[protey]

Thanks a lot! Wonder, how people get to build up & maintain this tricky balance.

[prabirbiswas]

Thank you very very much Swamiji, I started my spiritual journey just recently and I get inspired by almost every spiritual guru I heard so far. Since everything I hear is new to me. But there were still a lots of questions, which not make sense from what they are saying. After listening to your teachings it's start making sense. This is really helpful. I will be looking forward for more devine knowledge from you :).

Loving this style of teaching I feel the glow of Mr Rogers in him ... but make it advaita Vedanta
