Octavus5 Sri ramakrishna philosophy is not sanakar advaita - it is very clear from the gospel of Sri ramakrishna. You please read it in Bengali. Ramakrishna accepted all religions are true. Philosophy he followed the reconcile philosophy of difference and non-difference. They state visitadvaita has Vijnana Vedanta

I think Swamiji is working /teaching through honorable Ayon Maharaj. This will continue till the awakening of all the human beings for their Mukti. Thanks and pronam to all the Brahmacharis and Sannyasins of Ramakrishna Order 🙏

I am watching this talk third time and it is starting to make sense.

I got relieved from many questions and doubts!!! What a vastness of sri Ramakrishna. And yes Thanks and pranam to Ayon maharaj. ❤❤🙏🙏🙏

It’s good that swami sarvapriyananda has brought someone with a different take on Advaita . It helps in questioning our stubborn unquestioned view points about Vedanta . I believe unless we are intellectually convinced no teaching can be of help. This talk gave (me personally)a freedom to have a different perspective on certain tenets of shankara’s Advaita which I’ve been struggling with for the past many months.

Two brilliant minds! Overwhelming!🙏🙏🙏

Swami Sarvapriyanandji’s synopsis at the end was really informative and IMO the sign of a matured (illumined) spiritual soul. Thanks to VCNY for bringing us such a rich treasure of knowledge.

Pranaam maharaj🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Ayon Maharaj's training in academic philosophy probably led him to label and give a name to Ramakrishna's Philosophy. So that the academicians especially the ones trained in western philosophy can grasp the teachings of Ramakrishna in an easier way. That could be one of the motivations behind his monumental and ground breaking work. The difference between "philosophy" as an academic discipline and experiential self-realization can be bridged with this work. 🙏

Thank you.Forever grateful.

Kudos to Ramakrishna Order for producing such brilliant monks! What an incredible lecture especially that Brahman and Shakti are inseparable! Only a crystalized consciousness like Ramakrishna could have experienced the Diversity and the Unity of the One Reality at the same time!!

Wonderful indeed

This may be the most important Spiritual speech I have ever heard... it is exactly my perspective on RK's gospel when I've read it.

What I feel is, whenever we write about these things, we have to somehow interpret it properly in such a way that it connects to the interests and issues of the current or related aspects of the buyers without losing the main message. Im yet again absolutely thankful for this mix up of all sides and somehow blending them together. Well done

Bhagwan is having a great time playing these great spiritual characters!

great speech

Great presentation. My intuitive feeling is that in our normal day to day existence Sri Ramakrishna's "Vigyan Vedanta" is very relevant in that Brahman pervades thru all the 3 states. But when one achieves the highest state of superconsciousness i.e nirvikalpa samadhi Advaita rules and all else falls off. But as Thakur states that one cannot stay on the roof all the times and descends down to the worldly existence Vigyan Vedanta rules. Pranams to Sarvapriyanandajiand Ayon Maharaj.

Pranams to Ayon maharajji and Swami Sarvapriyananda maharajji . After watching the entire video, I was left with the thought that- if maharajji calls these efforts only "scratching the surface", surely we will be taken into a splendid whirlwind of spiritual introspection never seen before. SPLENDID is a very small word but the only one occurring to me after listening to this. Thank you. I had waited for this talk by Ayon maharajji for a long time, I feel it was more than worth it. Looking forward to more such talks..... Jai Sri Ramakrishna Anusha Hegde

Such brilliance

The works of the revered Maharaj will be of immense value in near future I think.The world will find way from ignorance-violence-jealous-intolerance to jnan-bijnan-love-respect-harmony. Joy Thakur Sri Ramkrishna 🙏

Pranaam Maharajs. Just saw Shri Shri Thakur in your beings. Jai Thakur.

Everytime I look at and listen to Ayon Maharaj it seems like Swamiji Himself is delivering the lectures..It looks so similar as if swamiji have come again to finish his work, those were left.. I feel very proud to be an Indian..Proud to be an ex-student of Swamiji and Sister Nivedita's School..I think it was Swamiji's blessings that I have become a doctor, in the country where there is no respect for the women even today..I want to serve and treat people as much as I can.. I always feel the words of Swamiji, - Only one infinite energy is playing in the whole Universe- is very True.. That is the power of Yogamaya.. Unless Swamiji Himself come and took us to the God, we can't turndown the Worldly attachments.. It is HIS choice and also our dedication, devotion, self knowledge and work for poor people which can took us near HIM.. Ayon Maharaj have done so much work in his little age.. Maharaj is a great soul..Until and unless the blessings of Thakur, Maa and Swamiji one can't do their work.. I wish best of luck to this New monk.. What we can't see through our body eye (as it can detect only 3 Dimensions), Mind can see (as it can detect 16 Dimensions).. JAI MAA..🙏

Maharajji kindly request such an humanities expert like Ayon Maharaj to take up the project of Vivekananda Bhashyam, taking the particular texts of Vivekananda one by one and preparing commentaries on them as we have the Gita and the Upanishadic bhashyas. This is a task which has been neglected all these years and we have been surfeited with an unending series of compilations.

Thank you for writing "Infinite Paths to Infinite Reality" (and subsequently "Swami Vivekananda’s Vedantic Cosmopolitanism"). I am so interested in what you are saying. Whenever I hear something like Swami Sarvapriyananda saying Sri Ramakrishna was closer to Kashmir Shaivism or someone saying Swami Vivekananda was closer to Vishishtadvaitism I go off looking for how, looking for something to philosophically grab on to, since I tend to get quite nihilistic when left alone with solely nirguna brahman (hopefully, my inaccurate language can be taken for humor vs ignorance [it's both]). What you are teaching us is far more nuanced than either of these and couldn't be more interesting. Any further elucidations you could put online for those of us locked down and unable to afford the books would be greatly appreciated by me and, I'm quite sure, many others. (I know-especially those who would seek to discredit your analysis-but I believe your audience is overwhelmingly made up of us students who value your expert interpretation.) Thank you for your studies and practice, and especially for not keeping them to yourself. 🙂

We have to analyze the period off Sri . Shankara and the modern and scientific age. During Shankara’s period, materialism was spreading, ordinary people could not understand the upanishads which were in Sanskrit. As such sri Shankar, at the age of eight , became a wandering monk and after he wrote commentaries on aupanishads, Brahmaputra and Bhagavadgita and so many prakarana granthas and wandered all over India , set up advaita vedanta and laid the foundation of advaita vedanta.He walked nook and corner of India to do this hard work. He wrote so many hymns about all gods and goddesses. When he said Brahma Sathya jagath Mithya, jiva Brahmaiva an paraa, he meant that the universe is not completely false, but the universe has no independent existence, but it borrows existence from Brhman and individual Self is not he other than Brahman. Even Sri. Ramakrishna used to give an example that one can follow other paths but holding advaita in the background , as the ladies bind the bunch of keys to the palloo of their Saree. Swami Vivekanada , said, “ God only is,none else”. According to modern age ,modern philosophers harmonizing all views on different vedantic ideas. Had Sri. Shankara been living in this modern and scientific age, he might also have been following the same steps as the modern philosophers. My conclusion is that so many great and enlightened monks of Sri Ramakrishna Order like Swami Gambheerananda, Swami Ranganathananda, Swami Brahmananda, Swami Nikhilanada , Swami shivananda and so many such great monk have built beautiful mansion on the foundation laid by Sri.Shankara, the future monks continue to build the Vedanta mansion further rather than criticizing Sri.Shankara’s idea. We , ordinary people, are in thirst of enlightened talks of Swami Sarvapriyananda and such others , which make us gain what we have lost till now, our true nature. Sorry if I have hurt the feelings of any one.

In the Q & A session, it is regrettable that the questioner is inaudible. Pl make arrangements to rectify this in future.

Another spiritual giant like Swami Sarvapriyananda ji Maharaj.

Vijnana Vedanta must define swarupa of bhraman, jivaa and world clearly and its relationships and its origin

Respectfully I want raise some counterpoints to Ayon Maharaj's arguments. My arguments are purely based on this speech and not on book as I have to it yet read it. Hence apologies if I have jumped too much ahead. Secondly I am not qualified enough for razor sharp arguments. But answers to this will help to learn more. My arguments are purely due to criticism of Keval Advait philosophy and to correct my viewpoint if needed. 1)Ayon Maharaj is superimposing Vishist Advaits view on Keval Advait as if it is Advaits own. Similar criticism was done by Bhagwan Ramanuja in Sribhashya purvapaksha. To translate Mithya as unreal may not best way in logical arguments. It's alright in loose sense especially when you are emphasizing sublation of Universe in Brahman. Maya is sat asat anirvachaniya. It cannot be expressed as unreal (corner of a circle) or real as Brahman. That expression is coined as Mithya. 1000 years of arguments have not shattered Maya explanation of Advait. 2)Ayon Maharaj is challenging where in Upanishads world is called unreal. ( Unreal in is not meant by Advait as well. Mithya or vivarta is better word) Whole Upanishads is like that. What is then avastha traya Vivek in Mandukya? What is meant by light of light in Katha of that which is illuminated? What is meaning of Hiranmayena pAtreNa satyasya pihitma mukham in Isha? 3) much more clear answer on whom am I and relation to God or absolute or Brahman needed if Vijnana Vedant has to stand as separate philosophy. 4) Advait does say knowledge is means to overcome ignorance. Even that knowledge has to be taken aside like a thorn used to take of another one. Vidya Maya and Aviydya Maya. Advait philosophy is not discouragging Karma yoga or Bhakti Yoga or Raj Yoga. Even in path of knowledge final step of Brahmakar vritti or Akhandakarvritti due sheer is grace of God. Sticking to path of knowledge over other cannot be used as argument against Advait due to it's strong rational of reality. Being bhakta or Karma yogi even knowing Brahman I presume will not be difficult. 5) Ajatavada is at parmarthik level. Ayon Maharaj is superimposing different levels of realities in Advait. Can anyone deny there is nothing but experience by Self. Experienced need not be absolute real. Intact it can be unreal as in dream example. Finally it will take years of arguments to have waterproof philosophy around Bhagwan Ramakrishna's teachings. You need to consider views of Swami Vivekananda and entire lineage thereof for reaching that level. Bhagwan Shankara philosophy was refined by answers to critical objections by later philosophers. My argument is last thing to be touched be Advait. It will easier to refine Advait than to refute. Even the Divine Upanishads would have been empty without Bhasyas and Tikas by generations of Acharyas.

Sri Ramakrishna did emphasise the usefulness of various paths. But did he dismiss the absoluteness of Adwaita jnana? He did point out the inseparability and coexistence of Shakti. But did even Shankaracharya deny that, I wonder. Why are so many hymns to forms of Devi and so many consecrations attributed (rightly or wrongly) to Shankaracharya?

55:52 Names and forms are real until you see everything in or as consciousness, existence, bliss, this is what Shankaracharya met I think

Ayon Maharaj kindly accept my pranams. How can I describe such wonderful wisdom of Sri Sri Ramakrishna Kathamrita. It appears that the book just started reading by the Humanity. I also convey my pranams to Revered Swami Sarvapriyanandaji Maharaj.

Maybe it's that Shakti manifestations and mind and bodies keeps taking form until one form is so refined according to conditions that conditions usually correspond to other conditions that produce a shining of God through that person.

At 1:10:03 the example of destroying a table to display the impermanence leading to unreality can be challenged. We may as well say that the Advaitists might call the ‘table’ as names and forms which are subjected to destruction and hence impermanence are unreal.

@srirolo

He said the table was impermanent, but the impermanence does not negate the reality of the table as long as it existed.

Advatita : Jnana kaale nirguna drishti through Drk-drushya prakriya. Vyaavaharika kaale saguna Kaaran- karya prakriya. Sankara welcomed different Aastika prakriyas but argued and disagreed with their final conclusions. The crest jewel of his teaching is Jivo Brahmaiva na parah. To reach here, in spiritual journey, druda Mumukshutvam must be entrenched in the seeker. All schools are good but the best works are Sankara's. Thakur caters to both levels in different stages. And Sankara too.

Yess!!! These world of names and forms is Brahman itself too!!! Shankara wants to say it's substratum that is real world is not.

Lucid explanation.......I am requesting everybody please go through the book for our better understanding......I think Indian edition for these book already available
