The Secret of the Five Sheaths by Swami Sarvapriyananda
vedanta.org Swami Sarvapriyananda talks about the five sheaths of the human body-mind complex: physical sheath (annamaya kosha), the sheath of prana (pranamaya kosha), the sheath of mind (manomaya kosha), the sheath of intellect (vijnanamaya kosha), and the sheath of bliss (anandamaya kosha). The talk was given on August 14, 2016.

We should start a petition for awarding of Nobel prize to Swami Sarvapriyananda

Why do have to give such importance to Nobel prize. You want to limit Swami Sarvapriyananda's knowledge to those few people who are sitting there and deciding who should get. Who are these few? What intelligence they have that they can decide Swami Sarvapriyanamdaji's knowledge? Swami.Sarvapriyanandaji is above all and I don't think he expects anything like this. Otherwise he wouldn't be called as Swmi. I know your wish comes out of respect for him. But certainly Nobel prize should not be the yard stick.

@ToLifeandLearning Hey Bub I feel like we both share the same overwhelming respect and reverence of Swami Sarvaprivananda. Even though the intention is beautiful, but award and recognition are constructs of thought and serve no purpose but to validate the false sense of self. If you want to show him respect and gratitude for all understandings he has given you then embody his teachings by constantly observing your nature and reactions to raw sensory input with no action and no judgment. Observation with no judgment. Swami requires no external validation…… secure within the self excellence is it’s own reward.
There should be a Nobel prize for Spiritual Teachers..

Powerful words: "We must see that mortality is in the body, disease and decay are in the life forces (Prana), happiness and sadness and desire and frustration are in the mind, ignorance and knowledge are in the intellect. All of these are in the five sheaths - none of them are in the pure consciousness, their witness, we already are right now. All of spiritual life is meant to bring us to this understanding - not in a lecture, not in books, but actually as a living reality."

Hari Om Swamji, tremendously grateful for putting such a complex subject in such a simple manner.
Thank you for this wonderful talk, I'm very glad I came upon it during a fit of self-questioning, when I for some reason became curious again about the 5 koshas. Having arrived at the points that we are mere pure consciousness, and that there is little to know about consciousness except that it is the "ingredient" which experiences other things, what I take away is that it is time to stop worrying about my body, my desires, my mind, my intellect and my own capacity for contentedness, and that I should use this consciousness to reach out and know other things, perhaps bringing a bit of my own experience, wisdom and compassion to them. I like thinking of this relentless human self-obsession as nothing but a necessary first step to calm, ground, and prepare our consciousness for worrying about other things. You have a new subscriber from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania!
This class was an eye opener, a realization of what the I intails. The more I listen to the vedante the bigger my thust. Amazing teachings. Much appreciated 🤗⭐😇🙏(Namibia)
My favorite teacher!
Just amazing teaching. He explains the most challenging truth in a very simple and interesting way!! Love it!
Beauty of Vedanta is, it reveals the ultimate truth 'Thou Art That' without using the crutches of religion, concepts of God, heaven and hell. Once you understand and correct your vision, the mistaken appearance of snake in the rope causing fear and anxiety disappears. There is nothing wrong with the Srishti (Creation), we just need to correct our Drishti (Vision). Train our minds to see only Gold in different Ornaments, Clay in different pots, Ocean in every drop and God in all humanity.
I love this Swami!!!
Great explanation ! Thanks ... and thanks for uploading !
Great explanation. My mindful salutations to Swami Sarvapriyananda.
I am highly impressed with Swami Sarvapriyananda for his flowing way of putting distilled wisdom of Vedant in front of listeners across the world in simple English. I consider myself very lucky to have his videos on KZread. It was necessary to put forward the Vedanta, a core philosophy of Hinduism in front of the world, as it is application and can be followed by everyone on this planet. My साष्टांग नमस्कार to Swamiji.
I have read about five sheaths in many books and no one explained where the self resides!! But swamiji very clearly and cleverly explained in the example of a wave that it is full of water and each part of a wave is only water and nothing else and even when the wave dies down, water still remains ; this fully explains about "self" or who am I !! चिदानंद रूप: शिवोहं शिवोहम् !!
Swami Sarvapriyanand is a scholar in our times when the world needs to educate in the truth .He makes it so wonderful to learn listen and assimilate the knowledge of ourselves. Listening to Sanskrit is amazing. Thank you swamiji and namaskar for your being there for us in NewYork.
On the auspicious occasion of Navami I have heard this wonderful lecture from revered Swamiji who is probably the most clear master of advaita. I am now off the the Ramakrishna Ashram to celebrate the day with the divine voice of Swamiji ringing in my ears. Jai Ramakrishna!

Hello
Oh, Swami Sarvapriyananda - I really like the way he makes the (otherwise very "compact", hard to penetrate, and) complex vedanta-philosophy accessible. He is able to make this ancient, vast and complicated philosophy to feel more like common-sense! A-u-m, shanti, shanti, shanti. Namaste!
We are blessed by Sri Thakur Maa Swamiji to have you Swamiji🙏
wonderful, clearheaded explanation of reasonably challenging concepts of our existence .The upanshids are a treasure trove of knowledge,which are in sanskrit. only a scholar who is adept in both english and sanskrit, can explain them lucidly and with clarity. a humble bow of gratitude to swami sarvapriyananda enlightening us.
No words to express my gratitude swamiji I can only pray that poornam to assume many forms like u to save the humanity pranams
"If only you would see yourself as you truly are" --- This was all so beautiful, thank you.

Whenever i move away from the consciousness and doubt arises, i watch this video and my conscious confirms that it was the same conscious that watched this video earlie and the same concious which is trying for the same inevitable question again and again... Hence proved i exist beyond body, prana, mind, intellect, bliss or samadi...🙏 Thank you for this lovely video.
In South Indian marriages.. this tradition of Arundhatti star gazing happens
This is the most lucid talk on the five koshas and the consciousness that bring these into existence...and for the first time i can experience how the consciousness brings into existence these five koshas and our world. The example of sweetness being an inherent property of sugar was an eye opener.....GOD Bless you....

I am so glad to have discovered this lecture by Swami Sarvapriyananda. It is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of all lectures! It is also a blessing and a great service to humanity on the part of Swamiji to have given the lecture in English even though I realize that English might not be his first language and therefore he might have alternatively chosen to give it in Hindi or Sanskrit. My joy is that he indeed gave the lecture in English albeit the fact that it is my third language (Luo and Swahili are my first and second languages, respectively) since I am a Kenyan and have been raised in a Christian (Catholic) tradition. I really do appreciate Swamiji's great command of the English language. No lecturer, English or otherwise, could have done it any better for I was completely spellbound!
