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.

Yes bro namaste from india love and blessing to you jai swami vivekananda
He is speaking in beautiful simple understandable English 😀
I love your lectures, thank you.
I love all the lectures of sarvapriyananda ji🙏🙏
Thanks a lot Swami jee, massive gratitude. Sufism resonate with Vedanta completely.
May be it matches. May be not. How does it matter? Ur holy book takes vedanta as shirk and ppl advocating these as kafirs and if a kafir falls unwell, u r instructed to not pray to ur Allah for his well being. Sufism is born from that book. It cannot deviate much even if sufi practicioners realize the truth of vedanta on their personal level. Hence we Hindus now do not care about ur belief system and request u to not even listen to our videos. We do not want or desire any unification with you. Be separate and don't get into our way of life
Sorry to say but Sufism has nothing to do with vedanta or Bharatiya adhyatmik darshan. The spirituality that is discussed in sanatana Dharma is way deeper and logical than irrational, self obsessed,.self proclaiming Semitic faiths or belief systems. We aren't believers like the abrahamics. We are seekers. We don't follow a prescription. We search for the truth by travelling the spiritual path on our own through self discovery.
Sanatan dharm is light of universe and it is eternal
Swamiji thanks for the nice explanation.
Swami ji ki jai.
Thanks for sharing🙏
Thank You! 🙏 Swamijj!
Thank you Maharaaj. The meaning of Sanskara becomes very clear to me today. Tendencies. Propensity.
Then the subtle body also has unconscious mechanism of subtle mind!
Pranamam swamiji. Thank you
Thank you

Gratitude ❤
This is why it's very important to have good samskara ❤

Wonderful. The truth and reality we all to know,is unknown.Thanks to Swami ji.
Pranam Swami Jee 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
My sincere gratitude to Swami Prabhavananda earlier and now Swami Sarvapriyananda, who I consider my Gurus. I have a question: To me, memory is a very important constituent to establish continuity of existence. If the subtle body continues to have the Samskaras but cannot remember its past, the entire logic of karma is defeated. Imagine a criminal being arrested by the police, who then proceed to delete all his memory. What impact will reward or punishment have on such a person? Will there be any sense of justice that the criminal perceives? Learned friends, please share your thoughts on this.
I agree with you
Interesting, in a way this is tied to faith. The events in my life were created by karma in a past life, and though I don’t know what my past life was, perhaps there’s a way to engage it through working with a plant teacher like Iboga, but I don’t know what my past life was I just know it created the karma in my current life. In that way I don’t need to have The continuity, I just need to understand that my current existence, the events in my current existence or karma, and I have the choice to engage in that karma or use my awareness to exist outside that karma.
I posted a similar question to see if there is another explanation here. But, based on my contemplation on this, I have come to maintain the belief that karma cannot be associated with sukshma sharira.
As you have posited from your question, science shows us that we take actions based on our neurological set-up, hormones, neurotransmitters, electro-chemical impulses, etc.
If you lobotomize people, give them drugs etc. etc., you can completely change one's personality, tendencies, memory and all the rest of what one would commonly understand as being a facet of their "jiva-atman".
Therefore, actions are at the command of neurons, the sthoola sharira (the body).
For all intents and purposes, neurons are governed by the law of conservation of energy.
If the sukshma sharira did something to impact the function of neurons, it would violate the theory of conservation of energy.
If we concede correctness to the theory of conservation of energy, then actions are necessarily done by the sthoola sharira and the sukshma sharira is a non-doer.
Then karma (if such a thing exists) must be relative to the sthoola sharira and not the sukshma sharira (which is nishkriya).
Therefore there cannot be rebirth of the sukshma sharira based on karma, because it is nishkriya.
This conclusion means no Karma, no punarjanam, and will force Advaitins to either reinterpret Karma without the need of sukshma sharira, or discard it altogether.
If we chose the former, to reinterpret Karma, we can perhaps equate it with the causal framework of the universe. To do so we would need to define it to be equivalent to gravity/electromagnetism/strong or weak nuclear force etc., which guides the invisible hand of determinism. Perhaps something like this was the original idea of Karma in Purva Mimamsa, but I would need an expert to confirm that.
If there is a more elaborate explanation of jiva-atman which can reconcile conservation of energy, I am yet to come across it.
I suppose that this is could be the reason why the Vedic Samhitas are quite reticent about reincarnation, and this idea shows up prominently in late Vedic texts.
The induction of Dharma/Karma into the Vedic canon was motivated by an urge to add some sort of moral justice into the fabric of the universe.
Unfortunately our exploration of science has not validated this.
Nevertheless, we shouldn't despair and say that just because morality (Dharma) and moral justice (Punya/Paapa/Karma) is likely not divine (and is merely a human illusory creation) that doesn't mean that it is useless, or completely invalid.
The correctness of morality/Dharma can be explored and established quite well in the confines of vyavaharika - and our focus in our waking life should be on that.
Our Sanskaras themselves biggest evidence of our karmas. If you have good sanskaar means u have good karma and vice versa u will be rewarded/punished on the basis of that. Given the births a human being takes its not possible to store all those memories in our physical mind so it's squeezed in the form of sanskaar.
Why new born babies in different homes have different fates? Why do they differ? Some suffers from illness, some, from poverty, ....some very happy etc. etc ? All have done nothing wrong!! Then why these much difference,?? The God is not impartial then???
SHRADHYA O BHAKTI YUKTO PRONAM, SWAMI!
One of the most important teaching of the Gita is about the true identity of humanbeing when the Supreme Almighty tell Arjuna You are soul it is a universal spiritual truth applicable to all

Sir I have a question yes my physical body is different from my sukshma sarir. But my thought, emotion, love, jate all are stored up in the brain my brain dies the point as a me gone.
I think where scripture says reborn, there is not that me, no individuals approach we all one but different for maya. The sukshma sarir is same for all because love, hate, thought, anxiety, fear are same for all it's may be in different percentage but those are same
It's a Vedantic IDEA and UNDERSTANDING.
You don't know for sure and I don't know otherwise.
So how is it important and helpful to us whether the body dies and the person lives in another plain?
There was one Professor Roy who had a conviction that if death happens after the maximum torture which the person can bear remaining conscious, then the subtle as well as causal body also dies with physical body. I am looking for opinion of Swami ji.
The subtle body is the creation of neurons of brain interacting with each other.
So when a body dies, the subtle body also dies along with the brain.
Exactly
Totally agree with you. We should logically examine whatever we are taught in Vedanta philosophy.
The brain only a part of ur body and ur thoughts and emotions just trigger some part of ur brain and that is traceable medically but any of the feeling and thoughts that are generated is subjective and different for all and that is ur personality that generates such kind of thoughts and emotions of urs and that is not traceable ...that personality is manifested as subtle body that experience and that is the driver of ur thought and the brain signals so when the body and brain dies the subtle body which is also a manifestation of pure consciousness doesn't go away only the manifestation of ur body and brain the outmost machinery stops ....So the subtle body continues with its samskara to another body and mind ( brain) bound by the law of karma subtle body loose it's existence only when any person is identified with pure existence consciousness and by doing nishkam karma broke through the chains of karma..then there will be no rebirth no subtle body neither it will take any body and mind form......
It is the actual idea here ☺️hope u will consider this perspective
@@abhipsachatterjee5470 I got it bro thankyou so much i have a little question i want to change my thought by decision making by replacing negative thought with positive. I want to know who is changing these thoughts
The jeevatmn or atma(Brahmin) and one more when we worship God that means jeevatmn is worshiping Atman ?
Even Buddha knew better than this.
Deep Respects to Swami. You and all you represent are life transformative. Q: Why cant our subtle bodies discern other physically disembodied subtle bodies? Would be grateful for an answer
I think the holy spirit cleaves into whom, if you ever hurt or terribly wronged someone you walk behind those eyes and in those feet to learn them
In NDE s people say they meet loved ones...see light at end of tunnel...does that really happen?
Any written reference on experience of how does it feel after death of physical body to that being, all functions are gone? If so then what does it mean, Can they see, feel, what exactly they left with or they want to get a body asap, how they being guided and directed after no physical body. Can you explain please.
It feels very freeing after death. Now, of course, this is also dependent upon the beliefs you're still carrying with you after you pass on. It may take some time before you can let go your limiting human beliefs. This is necessary in order to move on and experience your new life. You still function, actually much much better than you did while in your physical body. You have much more freedom when not in the physical body. The only thing that will limit you, again, will be your beliefs. There is always help and guidance for those who experience confusion upon their death. This also will depend upon the rigidity of your beliefs. If you have strong, rigid beliefs, it will be a bit harder for another to help you get thru the transition stage. We all go through a transition stage after we die. This, again, is to help removed our limiting human beliefs.
In deep sleep what happens to subtle body? Why we can't access it?
if one asserts that something is true without any evidence the burden of proof only lies with the person who is making the assertion, not the person to whom it is being asserted, see Russell's teapot analogy.
Does it mean that the knowledge we acquire in this life gets carried over to the next life? 🤔
All the content of mind exists in the physical brain. Memory lost is one of those example. When we hit a person on his head or if he has some kind of accident by which his brain doesn't function normally then he/she is no longer the same person. It is well established now that all the memories, impressions, experience, personalities are there in the brain. And when the body dies then the brain is also dead which contains all your beleifs, dogmas, memories, knowledge, experience, personalities and everything. So the only residue is the dead material.
Does anyone know how long it takes for a soul to be reborn? I'm wondering about some close people to me who died. I wonder if their soul gets replanted in someone's womb right away after death or not.
What is others plains. If adaitwa teaches us about oneness what is subtle body. If consciousness and subtlebody are 2 then how would adaitwa explain oneness?
We are sleeping but our brain is still working so we get dreams.
*The physical body is an instrument. The Settle body which we called mind, is those are all memories which can experienced that body, through the senses so when the body dies with that body The mind also died. but the soul is one the soul is immortal. we are that soul. by ignorance we are afraid about the death.*
Subtle body*
if I am all pervading consciousness, then does it travel with shukshma sharir? because consciousness is everywhere and when I take new birth, I can pick any that gives me life. then who am I exactly? for ex. if any battery (cell) can fit into a circuit and gives energy? so there is nothing called this is me , this is 'I'? because I'm not attached to any battery or that ever lasting battery moves along with shukshma sharir? that that is 'I'?
So the subtle body is not physical. But then how does it travel from place to place or body to body. Only physical things (cycle, chair, etc.) can travel in other physical things (like air), and only physical things (food, air) can enter other physical things (body). How can something non-physical even travel? How can it enter something physical?
Subtle body is also physical nature as per Sadhguru..it is that much subtler that you can't see it from your eyes..you still cannot see atom even by supersonic microscope..if you cannot see physical atom them how can you see subtle body?
@@Iam-wg6wg That doesn't make sense because scientists can observe atom and it's properties, but they haven't been able to observe any subtle body leaving the physical body after death. Scientists know the properties of atom and even electrons, protons, etc. But no scientist has ever found the properties or even existence of any sort of subtle body. If the subtle body was physical, then science would've caught up to it, no matter how small the subtle body may be. We at least would know SOMETHING about it scientifically, but we don't. So the sublte body simply cannot be physical.
@@aquietlife8873 Scientist are far behind the knowledge..They cannot even see Atom from this much research of years..Then How can they see Subtle body which may be subtle than Atom..Subtle body is like dream Body..it will take so many years For scientist to find reality..🌱
@@Iam-wg6wg Do you know that the smallest possible size for anything in the universe is the Planck Length, (1.6 x10^-35 m). Nothing smaller than this is physically significant. Science knows this. And if they couldn't detect anything of this length leaving the body after death, we can pretty much say that nothing with any physical significance leaves the body after death.
So the subtle body being something physical is completely made up mumbo jumbo by Jaggi Vasudev, just like his other unscientific claims about water having memory or earth's poles affecting the iron in our blood (both of which are entirely false and directly contradict science).
@@aquietlife8873 it's not invention of Sadhguru..it's invention of so many great sages lived in ancient India like Krishna, Patanjali etc.
Please reply I have a doubt do humans always are born as humans or they can be born as animal or plant in their next birth.
Pranam Swami ji - Thank you for explaining the concept of life-death-life and what moves in between.....kindly help me understand, in this case, there is no individual self....what we think is the individual self is actually The Bramhan and its ONE. So, who feels sadness and happiness is the subtle body as there is NO INDIVIDUAL SOUL and The Bramhan is not touched by the dualities of Maya. And...the subtle body is Not 'Me'...then, 'I' m not taking any re-birth, right? then why should I be worried about doing 'good karma' or 'bad karma'? or is there anything called 'good' & 'bad' karma as its also in the fold of duality of Maya? then how does good karma lead to liberation and not the bad karma? actually there is no liberation as the real 'I' is not in bondage at all!
That's what I get confused every time. As I am the light or atman or the witness or brahman and I am limitless, then why I should be carried and worried about my subtle bodies and other nonsense things
@@Vikash-gq4fy That's because u are not yet enlightened!!

Check this
Swamiji, you gave example of subtle body with 2 incidences. 1 is the conscious anaesthesia patient and the 2nd one is "dream" where the physical body doesn't move but the subtle body does move. My question is in both the cases my physical body is still FUNCTIONAL , the heart (part of the physical body) was functional in both the cases. Its not the absent of the physical body. please guide me.
What Swamiji said means that the physical body has no role in dream or in anesthesia. Function of the organs which still goes on do not take part in those two states.
perfect question... good to see atleast some questons which are good... my 2 cents about this is not only the heart but also your memory is functional otherwise how can you dream based on your memory. For example if previous day you saw a strange crow, today you dream something related to that crow - which means your dream is using memory - so your brain cells are functional. And I think these functional brain cells give the idea of self in dream or under influence of pain killer. The idea of 'I' - the ego , the samskaras (tendencies), the beliefs - etc are purely based out of information that has gathered in memory which is the brain and also muscle memory. the muscle memory allows you to swim for example... with death both this brain and muscle memory is gone, and so the idea of self, beliefs etch is also gone. This whole concept of this information is encapsuled in sukshma sarira which travels to next body has no explanation or logic that is worthy of believing... atleast I haven't found.
So, is this the same as: jivatman = subtle body, atman = soul (individual spirit), and bhrahman = eternal spirit ?
No jivatma is your individual life force and atma is universally present life force i.e. prakriti.
If the brahman can menifest in physical human form then why not subtle form? Think
Jivatman = individual consciousness
Atman=Brahman = supreme Absolute consciousness
Atman not different from brahman
And subtle body = sukshma sharira contains instincts, ego, thoughts, intentions
Compositely you can say it is the mind in different appearance
Ashish said it wrong, life force is prana. Jivatma has nothing to with it
And prakriti is actually various laws of nature imposed on a body the soul acquires
I recommend reading tattvabodha of Adi Shankara to know more about this
The own soul bind human in various roles in Karmic bondage the root cause of degradation of human explained in the Gita is the influence of the vices such as lust anger greed attachment and ego
Can somebody answer my question
In bible there is no mention of afterlife
do they not believe in it??
Still doesn't explain HOW the transference of information occurs after death and where and what form is it stored in the interim. All that is affirmed here is that it occurs, and I have no doubt that it does from all the studies of re-incarnation. But HOW? is the burning question for me.
You as a soul or the subtle body contain all information, all knowledge, all wisdom there is. When you are born on this physical plane, you choose what information and how much information to carry with you in this lifetime. It's purposeful - all for the sake of the experience itself. There is much much more to this, including the idea of reincarnation which is another belief system, when in truth all your lives are occurring simultaneously within different timeframes that exist parallel _(energywise)_ to each other. While some ppl can tap in their so called "past" lives, others can also tap in their "future" lives that are taking place in those other timeframes. I've been able to chat with one of my future self _(a time machine technician)_ in one of my future lives which is occurring NOW. A child who remembers its past life is doing nothing more than *tapping* in the other life which it sees as its past whether or not the other life has expired. We do the same in our dreams.
Exactly my question because at present we have life that's why even in anesthia or during sleep we can see or experience anything, but when life force has gone it has gone, and even if there is rebirth happening then we will anyways remember nothing about it in next life, and what if human beings stop producing or even animals, then someone will say that there is also life on other planets, and if there is rebirth then there must be past life of the Soul that we can say,also in gita it is written that at the time of death whatever we will see or witness we will take form of that in the next birth. Then I think if we see or experience nothing at the time of death, we are freed from the cycle of birth and death. That is I think the Soul.
I think he is wrong. If you understand hindi , search for Acharya Prashant. He gives a very different aspect of vedantic reincarnation. He says we take rebirth each moment.
@Jayanth very nice. very difficult to see sensible people like you... all are basically ga ga and full of praise and acceptance. I also have same question... how is this information of karma packaged in subtle body and shipped into the next body... and not only that - how is it ensured that the subtle body enters the RIGHT new body based on the information of karma thus captureed... I haven't seeen any logical explanation... people simply don't ask. which is a pity!
So now you are not turyam but shuttle body? If waker is what is bound by laws of karma and shuttle body too and turyam is not why do turyam gets bound to shuttle body form ?
Namste Swami je
How does subtle body moves ?
Swamiji is foolishly arguing that the subtle body persists after death which is ridiculous. After all the so called subtle body is a function of physical body and dies with brain.
@@Curious-nt9dp agreed. That's the problem with advait vedantis.
@@Ashish-nd3xj may be he's hiding it from everyone to prevent suicides.
Because many feel an urge to quit their life to to be eternally peaceful.
He cant be that stupid. Relax he's answered it intelligently
@@dncmi1436 haha.
The most intelligent Person. I too thought the same.
@@Curious-nt9dp according to advaita vedanta the subtle body is not a function of brain or the physical body . It's made up of 17 components . Mind , intellect , prana,...............The subtle body manifests itself through the physical body . It is not the physical body . when the physical body dies , the subtle body goes on to another dimension of existence and then take birth in another life .

how come other bodies are similar to human body ?
Kindly tell us your meditation experiences Sarvajii 🙏🙏🙏☺️🙂
The subtle body escaped death???Thought it was just the Atman? Or maybe he talking about the neoplatonic Ochema(Soul Vehicle)
This topic needs more clarity
5:32 is it just a "General Idea" or a fact..?
What about Acharya Prashant's Interpretation of Reincarnation..?
I prefer his and Krishnamurti's interpretation as it's sensible.
@@Chaddest_MaximusThat feels real..but that's scary.. basically it would be someone else..just the tendencies are reborn..it won't be us..we are done..after death..
Does the Jiva have a subtle body or is the Jiva actually the subtle body? I’m confused.
A Jiva is an individual soul with a subtle body. Usually it has a physical body too, but when the physical body dies, a Jiva doesn't have a physical body, just a subtle body, until it gets a new physical body.
Swamiji why do we reborn... For what I m born...tried to find it but couldn't understand...
You just have to keep living until you realize you're Brahman. However many lifetimes it takes. God is gracious in that it gives us a fresh new body when our current one gets worn out completely.
ACHARYA PRASHANT SAYS TGAT SUBTLE BODY IS JUST TENDENCIES NOT A INDIVIDUAL BEING WITH THE DEATH OF BODY THE BEING RIES BUT TENDENCIES IS SAME IN ALL ,IN SHORT HE MEANS THERE'S NO INDIVIDUAL BIRTH
I'm struggling with somethi g..i feel like I'm dead..is this the afterlife?
Yes, this now is the afterlife of your previous life.
Because the mind is generated from the brain.. like thoughts emotions .. so brain death means death of mind also.
Does the mind continue without the brain? Does the brain only create limitations for the greater intellect?
is the personality in the subtle body the same after death?
MeatPuppet Rick yes
MeatPuppet Rick I read it somewhere in one of the Upanishad that the last thought takes the subtle body to places desired. It may go to new body or even to plants. I bet Swami ji can answer this in some other sessions. I am so frustrated that we are not able to incorporate the technology here to have more interactive online webinars/class on these philosophies. These are very profound teachings.
Your personality as a human being is not the same as you are in your subtle body. You come here and choose to experience from limitation, with certain faults _(ego),_ and so on. However, when you're done here you go back to your true self. Your true self is divine, wise, all-knowing, unlimited in itself, and more loving than you could ever imagine.
Not exactly. You carry the same basic tendencies, but your memory is wiped after the physical death of your body. Those basic tendencies get reborn in a new body which is surrounded by new circumstances. It's up to you to work out your karma in your new circumstances, but very likely you won't remember anything from your previous life.
I have difficulty accepting/understanding this... if we are truly just pure consciousness that is lighting up minds ... then why does any part of our limited self need to migrate?
You don't have difficulty. Your mind does. You're not your mind though.
Pranams Swamiji, understand physical body dies. So do you mean to say Subtle body is ever living and unaffected/unattached as it is in dreamless state...
Yes
I want to share my thoughts on this. Unaffected/unattached yes if you have achieved the liberation (i.e. understood and experienced before our body dies that the “I am” consciousness within us and the entire universe is one and the same). If this is not understood, it is easy for the subtle body to fall in the trap of the fragments leading to different ends and not whole. This is one reason I honestly honor nondual Vedanta. Non dualities has to be achieved emotionally and intellectually. Whatever state (awake, dream or deep sleep) we are in, the nondual version of us will be convinced then that we can wake up, switch gears or sit back and relax. Upanishads talk about these stuff. We are asking these questions again 5000 years later 😂
@@gomathapaliya2381 thank you. Long way to go with Guru's grace.
But what happens to the subtle body if it realizes "I am"?
@@jessicastacey44 Non dualty..?
I don't agree
I would say someone's dead when the subtle body is dead or maybe gone elsewhere. The physical body can be kept alive with maybe a ventilator and heart lung machine. We say someone's dead when the thing inside is gone/dead/missing/extinguished
He's got it in reverse
Well yes, in some circumstances it happens that way, but either way the physical body and subtle body separate.
@Pavan Kumar I have no idea what you are talking about...
How is it possible that the subtle body carries along memories since we know that memories are stored in the brain and the proof is that once the brain is struck by a disease like sclerosis or Alzheimer, the memory is gone?
The memories of the physical body stay in the physical brain. Subtle body memories stay in the subtle body brain. In the same way, when the heart of the physical body dies due to a heart attack, the heart of the subtle body is still alive.
@@MarceloSiqueiraLima_CdC Thank you for replying! What kind of memories do we store in the subtle brain?
@@grannyweatherwax946, same memories are stored in both brain.
@@MarceloSiqueiraLima_CdC The mother of a friend of mind got a heavy dementia in the last years of her life. She wouldn't recognize her very own granddaughter and she would ask who that girl was. Now, if we had a subtle brain, wouldn''t it help us recognize people in similar circumstances?
@@grannyweatherwax946 Spirit uses the physical brain to control the physical body. He only uses the subtle brain to control the subtle body when he is outside the physical body.
Kutch bhi. How do you know that the subtle body lives after death. Anything,as if you have seen life after death.
It's just a belief.
@@Chaddest_Maximus True but why to talk about things which we do not know.

It is the actual idea here ☺️hope u will consider this perspective
I lost my fifteen years old daughter suddenly in misc due to doctors wrong treatment six months ago...😭 she was innocent hardworking child loved by all her friends always helpful prepared for board exams champion in sports.. struggled to make our lives better..ll efforts wasted dreams shattered..
Please guide when n where she will be born 🙏
What do you mean by tendencies p lclarify
She was never born. And she had never died. This was all imagined in your mind. You too are an imagination in your mind. Wake up and see this. Leave the mind leave the body, Only the Self can reveal this and the Self holds no such impressions
If you mean "when and where will her subtle body be reincarnated", such a thing cannot be predicted easily, unfortunately.
Even the Dalai Lama, who has been reincarnated 13 times, is only located due to monks of their order interpreting signs and visions, which lead them to a particular area. Then the specific child must be found, and display more signs to indicate their past life.
When they interpreted signs and visions to find the 14th Dalai Lama the monks were incognito so that parents/householders of the village wouldn't be able to manipulate events. No one knew who they were or what they were there for, and even though the monks were disguised as lost travellers seeking shelter, the boy went and sat in the lap of the leading lama, identified him as "Sera Lama", reached into the lamas robes and took out the rosary and claimed it was his - those beads did indeed belong to the 13th Dalai Lama. He also claimed ownership of a ritual drum and walking cane which belonged to the 13th Dalai Lama.
While it may not be possible to locate your daughters reincarnation without spiritual assistance, it is very possible that some memories will carry over and they could recall aspects of the previous life, and remember among other things, the love you have for her.
I know this doesn't help lessen your pain, and I am deeply sorry for your loss.
Blessed be your feet, that they may walk this path 🙏
And tendencies are just as they sound - if for example one has a tendency to rely on alcohol, or has a fiery temper quick to flare up, tendency to disbelieve others, tendency toward generosity, etc, these can carry over.
Search on youtube "sarvapriyananda we don't learn from memories", he can explain much better. I am no master nor swami
@@noone3216 thank you everyone for your guidance 🙏🙏
@@ojasshah7633 also Swamiji had in previous videos mentioned re a letter he received of a boyfriend of a girl who died on an aeroplane where Swamiji clearly states you had never left the self that is the girlfriend the grandmother grandfather mother father and so on. In fact its impossible to be non-different to all beings. Its no coincidence why advaita vedanta implies just that- meaning not-two, non-dual. And you too are that. When are you that? Right here and right now this moment. Thus is the meaning: tatvam asi. Hari Aum
Swamiji, I am discontent with triple sharira concept in Vedanta.
The phsyical body is obvious, and to some extent inescapable from our experience.
Atman is also in some sense believable, because it is the underlying reality to all experience. So far so good.
But the idea of Sukshma Sharira is problematic when confronted with medical science. Tendencies, attitudes, emotions, personality, memories, and everything else that happens in our mental experience has been theorized and many times explained by the workings of the brain (the pysical body), via neuroscience.
Modern AI like GPT-3 can also show how personalities can emerge from a digital framework.
If the mind faculty is emergent from the physical body, then the Sukshma Sharira becomes just as nirguna as Brahman. Moreover, the sukshma sharira also becomes nishkriya. Let us see how.
If we accept that all actions are motivated by the mind, and that the mind is caused by the physical body then the Sukshma Sharira is nishkriya.
If the Sukshma Sharira is nishkriya, how can we associate karma to it, a non-doer?
If there is no karma for the Sukshma Sharira, there cannot be rebirth.
Another big problem is the mechanism by which Sukshma Sharira does anything. It must do something, in order to accrue karma, but how is this so? It can only do so by motivating the physical body. However, science has never found an instance that contradicts conservation of energy which relates motion and potential energies from various fields. The movement of atoms, particles and everything else is determined almost completely by the electromagnetic fields in our bodies (gravity is not that relevant on these scales). By what mechanism does the Sukshma Sharira "move" or change state of anything in our body? By doing so it would violate conservation of energy, because something would move without an associated reduction in potential energy somewhere to cause its movement. If true (science is pretty certain about this), how can the Sukshma Sharira do anything, and accrue Karma?
If science is correct in this, it seems like a huge problem for Advaita Vedanta, and a reason to eliminate Sukshma Sharira along with karma/rebirth from the theology, no?
Our personality is trichotomy ...physical,subtle, and what the other part? Causal?
Please upload about that...
The third is Soul..In another video it is mentioned
In this video also at 5.19, subtle body + atman, soul is the third
@@sonalsharma5954 😀yeaa....but certainly the causal body will not be the soul...I think causal body is the reflection of the soul....
Thanks
@@sumanaghosal5072 nope..I have read somewhere physical, subtle and casual are just covering sheaths of ataman and illuminated by the light of the soul.. Actually in ancient literatures this body classification expressed in different terminologies..Truth can be revealed when we go deep down with the help of enlightened guru who can make us understand the true meaning...Till then reading and listening from authentic sources help but authentic resources are rare and destroyed in past

Who operates the law of karma? Does serving to humanity violates the law of karma?
Bhavesh Makvana hello, I am sorry this is not yet an interactive session yet and I bet you will not hear back from Swamiji. For your question-I have some thoughts. The nondual self the “I am” consciousness is one and the same- it is within all and outside of all. When one causes harm to others or if one is bound to selfish nature of their lower self, they have the eternal witness within them silently witnessing everything. The mind is the organ of thoughts, conditioned with our previous karma and physical body, the untrained mind wanders like wild horses with pride and ego- just too far out from the eternal subtle silent self. Thus, going into the path other than this subtle eternal self is re-lived, recreated, reincarnated. Karma is the experience re-lived by one when nondual self is not realized. It’s a fascinating equation, sort of like matrix. Our karma if done in alignment with universal nondual self, we become the conscious rider of this chariot they call it our physical body and the physical universe.
Karma operates on seven layers. Karma and Runa are intricately tailored with each other. The person himself or herself creates and dissolves karma and runa with every breath
You do through your beliefs. There is actually no karma. It's a religious belief, believe it or not. Also, to tell you the truth, there are no laws. Laws are man made. There are conditions that we choose to experience from, however. Gravity, and physical limitation are one of them for example.
Parbrahm Lord Krishna administers the law of karma. I'm not sure what you mean by violating the law of karma as there is no such thing. Every karma incurs a reaction when done with attachment to fruit. When you serve humanity, the direct tangible reaction is that the person gets helped. The intangible reactions depend on your personal motives behind it, if any.
Islam and christianity are completely opposite to teachings of Hinduism.
THEY ARE VERY ORTHODOX , NO NEW COMMENTRY ALLOWED THERE BUT HERE GIANTS HAVE COME EXPERINEED AND WRITTEN EXPOUNDING COMMENTRY
When the body dies, brain dies and hence mind also dies.
Maharaj is there life after death?
There is no death for you. Death is for the physical body, but you are not that, nor the subtle body. You are awareness. You were never born and you will never die.
The point he makes about distinguishing the subtle body and body relate to the mind and consciousness problem.
Consciousness is not provable by external means.
We know the body exists, but we can never point to the screen of sensations which more accurately describe our experience of life.
And it is that part which doesn't die.
How to prove this? There is no way. It is not under our control or subject to logic. The answer is not within the realm of the mind.
Just know that the universe exists though, and bears a certain perfection or state of balance to it in order to exist.
The idea of rebirth may not make sense, but then imagine trying to explain the concept of the life to a yet to be born consciousness.
"So, you, non-existent thing, we're gonna pop "you" into existence, with a body, atoms and eyes, which will somehow exist, with light and a whole bunch of other crazy shit that you can't explain at all unless you experience them"
It would be completely ridiculous to try to explain life to a thing which doesn't even yet exist. There's no point of reference to understand what we're talking about.
Yet, that is literally what we are.
So, logical reason must be somewhat suspended to try to understand and explain rebirth.
Just as we already suspend much logical reason when trying to explain our own existence.
If reincarnation is based on karmas
Then if humans came after animals or even if humans came with animals
Then why was one made first dog snake without even giving chance for karma
Even If all were born with same qualities then how good outweighs bad in some of them. Why not in all of them?
First we created the planet and the solar system, then we created the vegetation, then we created some of the animals we know of today. It is then that we decided to experience in a physical body as human beings. We never experienced as animals. That is but a belief. Animals are extensions of our creative energy. I could go on and tell you that karma is also another limiting human belief, and much more.
Hard concept to wrap our heads around but everything has been present for eternity. So there was no such time when they did not have past karmas.
The fear of death could be the engine behind the stories of "life after death". Amazing that grown people can believe this fairy tales.
You don't know what happens after the death of the physical body. Don't be a child.
@@Chaddest_Maximus I never said I did, and I wasn't talking to you. Amscray.
@@Chaddest_Maximus What am I believing in?
@@Chaddest_Maximus What's your problem? You just keep writing nonsense. What for?
Osho was conscious even after double dose of anaesthesia and he counted backward from 100 to 1. 🙏👍🌳
But Why was Osho given anesthesia?
As per my understanding, subtle body dies along with physical body because subtle body is the object of mind.. When mind dies then the content of mind that is subtle body also dies...but this self tendency (I am or Aham britti) continues with new physical body...This self tendency (Aham britti) continue with every newborn ... Only Atman (pure consciousness) is unborn, eternal, everlasting, blissful, ultimate reality.. Atman pervades everything including the mind and body...
No...go more deep for this anand ji

Can someone answer my question. Why are we born on earth.
What's the purpose.
Why God sent us here?
You sent yourself here. In order to learn a certain thing. It is that exact thing that seems to be an obstacle for an happy life. Try to manifest something and if something doesn’t work out first, that’s what you came here for. Earth is a very special place. Have fun
What else can you do if you're not experiencing? You generated this experience and reality so to have an experience. This experience, among an infinite number of other experiences you are continually generating, is so to enable yourself as god or consciousness to experience your own self as something else different from that which you are already in consciousness. These experiences do not change you as you are in your divine nature, however. Once you're done with this one life, for example, you go back to your own self as the divine creator that you are. From there you choose again what else to experience. It's all up to you. However, you never stay still - nothing does. You're continually generating different experiences for yourself. That is the nature of consciousness. Consciousness is an action in itself.
We are born so that we can develop love, compassion, forgiveness, non violence etc qualities, if in one birth you only are following non-violence but if u don't have other qualities like love, compassion etc than u have to take rebirth, unless and until u don't have all the qualities u will be born again and again and also unconditional love, un attachment etc,.
Easy way is to love, serve all human beings, animals, bird, plants etc creatures, feed everyone and chant the name of God like ram, krishna etc. Self realisation of ur self is also important task.
Thanks you,you helped me lot,for my question also.
Change from advaita
