But, alas! Inspite of his tireless efforts to inculcate ancient Vedantic wisdoms amongst the most brutely materialistic people of this globe, he would never be considered for Nobel Peace prize! Rather it may be his great prize if some of his American followers come to the path of salvation and self sacrifice from the multfarius channels of lust, greed, sex, materialistic power and aggression to grab others' wealths etc.

The Swami is so incredibly good...that you have to consider his incredible charisma...I would love to be his disciple for just a year...🧘♀️
Sir you are solving a lot of problem who are watching you
His talks even though same things repeated over and over never bores me just like eating curd rice daily. That is the secret of his success.
Every comment is from heart..all speak one language..thank you..for clarity..and love..u need not have explained down to last bit..ur effortless perfection does the magic..rest .WE HAVE TO WORK!!!..
Pranam guruji You are next to Swami Vivekananda hat's off to you 🙏🙏🙏
Pranam Swamiji🙏🙏🙏
Respected dear Swamiji, i was disturbed yesterday why i am remaining the same inspite of all sadhanas and doing sravanam of geetha and few more texts. You made it clear that my mind needs little more cleaning and a little less clinging to this ephemeral world. 🌺🕉️🙏
Excellent presentation Swamiji. Hearty pranams.
I am compelled to express my deepest gratitude for your videos. They speak directly to my mind and soul, Thank you for sharing this knowledge.
Chitta Shudhi can be only accomplished if there is no conflict in mind.
consciousness radiates
जय श्री कृष्ण
Pranam to your holy feet.
pranams to your feet maharaj pranams
Listening to his discourse is like drinking honey. But assimilating and bring it day to day practice is another. Wonderful wonderful. When I sit for sadana assimilating absorbing tears well up . If we want to do justice to his tireless teaching, it’s only by practising what he teaches.I see God in him great Vivekanda, Ramkrishna Paramahamsa and beloved matha Saradha. My pranayam
Thanks Swamiji.
Thank you so much 🌷
Thank you so much, Gurudev for this amazing video.
Pranam Gurudev, your speech is beyond speech.
Pranam Swamiji !!!
Swami Ji evidence to the fact that the Guru Parampara will produce stalwarts who like lighthouses will help us navigate Samsara Sagara. HH Swami Sarvapriyananda Ji Maharaj is a gem among such Gurus. Swami Ji we pray that you will serve to uplift humanity and bring back a humane quotient in us. Deerga Danda Pranam ./\.
Hari om 🕉 swami ji 🕉 🙏🏻
Understood it! One of the best one of all anecdotes.❤ 🙏
Swamiji is saying you need to be enlightened to live the truth. Good things will happen to those who wait. Every Mahans assured it. Its on our hands. Surrender totally and wait at the feet of that. Grace is the one, 'Truth, way and the life'
This is a very good teaching for us. Thank you Swamiji. I also want to thank the person who asked the question. Very helpful.
प्रणमामि मुर्हू मुर्हू 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much.
I don't know how to change my life around... I watch this video and what arises in me is overwhelm and stress. my dream life feels 999-trillion universes away from my reality: - I have minimal work (I live in poverty, always have) - the place I rent is old, old and teeny tiny-tiny-tiny - I have passions and talents that could make me rich, but... - I'm single, have been my whole life, I die for true love - fat and diabetic - old now, no longer attractive - no friends - always a million-trillion stressful things to do...
Pranam Swamiji 🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏 The excellent teacher making Vedanta easiest in a unique manner 🌹🙏
Great guru and teacher of this century om tat sat
Thanks for sharing🙏
No words, just 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Swami. Such a gift you give!
Swami ji we internet audiences are missing your weekly lectures.. That we are following you constantly since Aporaksha anuvuti classes.. If I have not mistaken you have told in one of the aporakshanuvuti classes that you will be starting Bhagwat Geeta classes.. So shall we not get those classes online.. And also the monthly "Ask Swami Session " where various queries are been taken up by you.. Hope to get more live session from you swamiji.. Jayatu Sri Ramakrishna 🙏
You are helping me ......thousand folds..... to understand My Brahmn existence ✨️. I am a divine soul......extension of Him.Pranam.
Beautiful video, Swamiji put it in a way that couldn't be better. Especially Swami Vivekananda's definition of religion in this video would ever remain very dear to me.
Swami u r just superb, I long u meet you in this lifetime 🙏❤
Must listen every week❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽

Thank you,, thankyou so so much. Will always remain indebted to you Swamiji. Love to get my answers in your talks. Surely would want to attend some meditation retreat with you Swamiji. The way you speak it's very easy to connect with you. Thank you once again
I had been listening to your talks and always thought that you have told me everything but why don't I start seeing things differently. Now I known.
Knowledge is for future generations to work as biswakarma.
I love you 😢😢😢😢😢
No words
Love Swamiji

wow
Feeling blessed .
Fantastic Swamiji! Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
Good morning from India. 😊🙏🙏 Magnificent stuff.
We are very much grateful for these short videos..🙏🏻🙏🏻
When knowledge is a subject of mind and these all are beyond mind..how can knowledge be sufficient.? Data second stage is information, 3rd stage is knowledge, 4th stage is experience and 5th stage is Realisation. Eg- a kid can also have information how to drive a car in a manual but he/she can't drive.as that's just data and information. When he actually learns how to drive- that is the knowledge but still he has to be so cautious..not realised yet..but after practicing driving, he gains experience and then he doesn't need to put his mind while driving..it happens automatically like changing gears of a car. That phase leads to Realisation..
Excellent very deep, significant discourse 🙏🙏🙏...
Excellent 🙏🙏
Chetadarpanamarjanam. Cleansing heart and mind must for self, soul, God realisation. Do work Unselfish with no ego. Very right.
🙏🙏🙏🕉️🌺
Thank you swami ji 😊❤
Excellent!
😊😭❤️🙏
Thank you.
thank you sir
One has to be a adhikari (eligibility) to assimilate the Vedantic knowledge. How to qualify. 1. Pancha maha yagna-Deva yagna, Pitru yagna, Brahma yagna, Jana yagna and Bhoota yagna. Then 2. Sadhana Chatusthya Sampeti. a) Viveka, or Wisdom b) Vyragya or dispassionate. c) Desire or Mumukshwata. d) Disipline or Shataka (6) sympathy The first one is called Karma yoga and the second is called four important sadhanas and qualities requird.

Swami Sarvapriynanda Maharaj has manifested as a Avatara of DakshinaMurthy. He has bestowed me to cross a million births, he gives a JoyFul Simple Shortcut to reach our Home living in a Waking State. Amazing . Truly Blessed to Listen to Him.- Ashwin Hiremath.
Really nice
Excellent
Amazing definition of relegion , great knowledge thx.
excellent
🙏🙏🙏...
yes..
Gyana and karma are not different. Gyana karma kriya bhakti are all steps of a stair case. Interconnected and incomplete without each other. There can be a different approach for this path. But the path is the same. Its about understanding the gyana and turning it into upayoga as a part of life and make your life in a way to attain gyana. Its important the vision of the person and the place he is walking is correct before he tries to understand the trees of the forest. The mis understanding is, karma is not action. Action would be pravarthana. Karma means work. Even chintana is also a karma. This does not mean you do it for others or for yourself. You do it for dharma as in righteousness

Jnana and karma are different since former is dependent on the object of knowledge and karma is dependent on the agent. Read the commentary of Shri Shankaracharya on the Brahma sutra 1.1.4.
Swami Sarvapriyananda my respects, thanks for sharing, you have live session in NY soon ?
Swamiji how do I refrain from Kama .
Manifest realisation
I want to talk to you personally. How can I contact you?
Kathopanishad says Speak the truth follow the path of virtue Swerve not from the study of the scriptures Never swerve from truth never swerve from the path of virtue Do not deviate from what is beneficial
But swamiji this is not being in line. Once there is the breakthrough, the realisation of Self then where is the question of mind? Why have i to run behind it even after realisation of truth?
If we are all one and the same God and God made all this by mistake by becoming many why is it that when Buddha became enlighten or when the first saw the mistake why didn't the game end why does God keep pumping out more souls. What I don't get is why does the dream keep going why not end it.
