Sairam Swami Sarvapriyananda JiAs the clarity is coming in mind, experiences are coming too.  Understanding the real meaning of Self by your simple and easy explanations, unconscious statement  made by my mind  " I would like to withdraw into myself "  gave a very pleasant surprise. Oh what was that I and Myself !! The mind then went straight to the thought "MySelf" is the Consciousness that illumines the mind and all there IS. Interestingly enough the mind pondered on all that you told about the Consciousness for a beautiful length of time. With Infinite Love and Gratitude and many thanks. saiasha.

Swamiji, Shat Shat Pranam . Your lectures and publications will help generations to come. Please publish lectures in form of e-books. If possible.

[sarojinidash]

Vedanta doesn’t change or make the world of appearances disappear.It makes you accept them knowing that you are atman and that everything is atman, consciousness.I am separate from the body and mind which is a anatman, sentient and different.

[shivashankar]

This is the REAL hinduism, modern hinduism is vedanta. This needs to be shown and need to be the display of "What is Hinduism ?"

[Teawithin]

A wonderful way of explaining the Mind and the witness. I love his sense of humor.

[i.jmalhotra]

You are the God is easy to say than to realise and this lecture on Vedanta will ultimately take us to that awareness.The examples of Monk and Monkey are great and help in understand the Vedanta yet looks certain intricate and deep to get the crux of the discourse. Better it is made more simpler in consonance with our average way of living style in this selfish world. Above all it is good and attractive discourse to start the journey.

[ashischandra]

Awesome experience of eternal horizon.

[sachindranathmukherjee]

Witness is different from mind, hence it doesn't violate the principle that seer must be different from the seen.

[gourichatterjee]

I am wondering for the answer.Please explain it. Thank you very much
