|| Our Real Nature || by Swami Sarvapriyananda

This discourse from Swami Sarvapriyananda is inspired by a lecture from Swami Vivekananda: "The Real Nature of Man" (Jnana Yoga).

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.

I have heard all this from Swamiji before, in their other Youtube presentations. And yet, I stayed riveted to this presentation for the entire 81 minutes. THAT, is the power of a really effective teacher. Pranaams!

When I think I’ve seen Swami’s best talk - then I listen to another one like this and then think THIS is the best. 😃

Swamiji looks as fiery today as Swami Vivekananda must have looked all those years back. How enchanting, how blessed we are.

Following a heart attack, multiple bypass and year long illness the revelation of advaita vedanta reopened my mind. My gratitude to you Swamiji and all teachers on youtube.

When illness next strikes this body and i am in pain i vow to listen to this particularly illuminating talk by an incredible teacher to remind my little self about the limitless self that I really am in the midst of the grace endowed by the suffering.

[rajugadi]

Namasthe Swami when you explained I felt Swami Vivekaananda in you.

[Sundance]

This talk is like manna from heaven. Before listening to it I was really stressed, now, as Maharishi once said, '...see your problem as a drop in an ocean of Bliss....'

[lyngreen]

I seem to live apart from society and am glad to do so. However, my contact with the Vedanta society is so important to me. So, yes please more of this wonderful knowledge, brilliantly and engaging put across by Swami Sarvapriyananda . Thank you so much. Many more, please

[vijayajoshi]

One of the best 🙏🌺😍 Pranam Maharaj🙏 Jai Bhagvan Shri Ramakrishna 🙏🌺

[TheLYagAmi]

Whenever I see disharmony in the world I try not to let it affect me the one thing that gives me immense solace is our true nature is unaffected by any and all of this and there is no point being affected by the illusory.

[deepasinghal]

Fantastic. @50:00 He spoke words of Swami Vivekananda like Swami Vivekananda. Having listened to his 1893 speech, I automatically read his books in his speaking style with confidence and authority. And so true, rarely have I found English translations convey exact meaning written conveyed in sanskrit, they give you an inkling but not exactly what is conveyed. Having studied sanskrit and knowing hindi helps a great deal, but Swami Viveekananda's books are a rare exception. Each of his precise, concise yet complete words are like mantras in english itself.

[dr.milano]

time I listed some of your teachings series or talks, I think to myself...this is the best explanation of Advaita....and you always come back to prove I was are an incredible speaker, teacher and I can't express how happy I am to discover your teachings about Advaita Vedanta....one day I wish I can see you in person and just thank you in person for your service to seekers, as well as to Ramakrishna, Vivekananada, Goudapada and Adi many benefit and wake up with your help....thank you.

The book "The Razor's Edge", by Somerset Maugham, was completed after the author visited Sri Ramana Maharshi.
The word "individual" means "indivisible".

[ravidadlani]

Thank you Swamiji. 1 talk a week please. 🙏. the internet community waits eagerly for your talks.

[jaykrish]

The depth of his knowledge, the memory and recollection abilities, the breadth of reading, the relationship he makes between schools of thought, just astounding.

[DistilledHealth]

Thank you for this Swami! This is the most beautiful and thorough breakdown of truth!

My prayer is that Christian’s may watch lecture and realize there is a greater reality than what they’ve been taught and and understand that all beings aren’t destined to Hell fire unless they say the words they believe in Jesus!
