The Universe as Seeing | Swami Sarvapriyananda

Swami Sarvapriyananda explains the last verse from Chapter 2 of Yoga Vasistha Sarah. He draws upon G.R. Malkani's work, among others, to elucidate Drishti-srishti-vada, the doctrine of creation through perception.

ABOUT VEDANTA
Vedanta is one of the world’s most ancient religious philosophies and one of its broadest. Based on the Vedas, the sacred scriptures of India, Vedanta affirms the oneness of existence, the divinity of the soul, and the harmony of religions.

ABOUT US
Vedanta Society of New York is affiliated with the Ramakrishna Order of India. In fact, this is the Order's first Center started by Swami Vivekananda, in 1894. It was a historic event, for the seed of the world-wide Ramakrishna Movement was sown here in New York over a century ago. Swami Sarvapriyananda is the present Resident Minister and Spiritual Leader of the Vedanta Society of New York.

We are in that era where self proclaimed godmen who have neither read the scriptures nor have had any experience roam every nook and corner of India. They just blabber whatever comes to their minds and their blind followers support them and defend them. In this era of blindness, Swami Sarvapriyananda is a gem of light and hope. He has not only read and understood the scriptures in Hinduism, but also has read the works and scriptures from other religions and philosophies as well. The way Swamy explains concepts to his students and disciples makes him the greatest of all teachers. Brahman created Swamy intentionally to become a monk and save us from this samsara.

All glories to Swamy Sarvapriyananda 🌼

[pankajvedant]

Thank you Swamijee. Your natural ability to go on so many short and long tangents and still keep coming to the main topic is otherworldly. And all the tangents are amusing and full of knowledge and support the central topic. Your memory for details both subtle and mundane is supernatural. Really blessed to have run into you this lifetime. 🙏

[sarahmottramart]

Always delivering a profound zap, clear, cognisant & clean living-speaking man. Thank you for existing.

[michaeldillon]

Such elevated spiritual orators are rare indeed. Thank you Swamiji 🙏🕉️

Swami ji. You’ve answered a question in this discourse that arose in me many years ago, when I was struck by this thought: all these systems of Vedanta, all this phenomenal world, all this talk of karma and rebirth and progressive purification, the puranas, and so on and so on, which are apparently millennia old, not to mention this ancient 13 odd billion-year-old universe, they all arise only in my consciousness. I myself have no means to assert that they existed independent of me, such assertion is not verifiable by me.

Now you’ve told me this is the Drishti Srishti school… that’s a relief, that I’m not off my rocker, this question is addressed by “others”, if any…

Still all this, including the phone I’m apparently typing on, exists only within this awareness. So I’m wondering who am I sending this to… 😅

[rajanvariar]

Swamiji, , your calm and composed nature, , transmits a positive energy.. And we feel that we are blessed.. 🙏🙏🙏

[malalentin]

Many pranams to Swami Sarvapriyanandji 🙏 it was such a pleasure & delight to know that our Nana - Professor G R Malkani could draw your attention to his teachings & books. We (my sister & myself) listen to a lot of your talks and are vedantic students. So cant really express our joy when suddenly we heard you taking baba (our nana)'s name. Feeling truly blessed🙏

Swamiji accept my humble pranams, I am so blessed to listen your talks regularly, I am understanding most complicated topics on Vedanta very easily by your simple teachings.

The beginning of this talk was eye opening. Sometimes I feel like I am spiritual bypassing and trying to leave the world but the world is none other then Brahman. Very profound 🙏Thank You!

Swami always makes me happy. 'Vedanta for Dummies'. I am just back from the Fire Festival on Insein Road here in Yangon. So Swami was live streaming which was perfect. Swami and Bernardo Karstrup and the work of Ian Stephenson help me understand the truth. I practice good works and deeds in my working life. Good path. I am happy
