For someone who always takes the safer route, unsafe choices are never an option. However, for Swami Sarvapriyananda, his first and last unsafe decision of becoming a monk after finishing his MBA course resulted in him abandoning all possibilities of a lucrative career and having his own family. In this talk, Swami Sarvapriyananda explores that one pivotal decision and how it turned out to be life-changing. He talks about the spiritual quest everyone should undertake- questioning the purpose of one's life and existence. He elaborates on the four aspects of this quest- Gyan Yog or knowledge, Dhayan Yog or meditation, Bhakti Yog or devotion, and Karma Yog or actions. Citing Swami Vivekananda as an inspiration, he further emphasizes the need to be spiritual for anyone and everyone, irrespective of their domains.
Swami Sarvapriyananda is a Hindu monk of the Ramakrishna Order for more than 25 years. Currently, he is the head of the Vedanta Society of New York, a position he has been serving since January 2017. He was also in residence at Harvard Divinity School at Harvard University last year. He frequently speaks at events centred on the teachings of Advaita Vedanta. His spiritual lectures and teachings on the various texts of Advaita Vedanta are widely popular and followed by people worldwide. His series of lectures titled "Who am I?" are some of his most-watched talks. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Wonderful to get a glimpse of the life of swamiji before becoming monk.
Swamiji's every talk is highly and tightly packed with knowledge, truth, wisdom and stories. Never seen him ending a talk in 20 minutes because his talks really can't so soon. A lot of people do not want his talks to end even after 90 minutes.
Thank you Swamiji.
True , I started my spiritual quest along with diirect service to society through education at the age of 58 leaving senior position corporate job . I wonder why did not I start early..
Yes Swamiji your final comment that whether we get enlightened or nor but on this spirutual quest journey we will become better version of ourself peaceful inside and ready to serve outer world
Ur lectures always purify our mind n heart from negativity
After seeing more than about a thousand videos by famous spiritual 'experts' here is the one, truly genuine!
Thank you Swami! Your talks are enlightening! 🙏
He's such a calm person! ❤️
Pranam Swami Sarvapriyanandaji 🙏🏻

Thank you, Swamiji, for honoring those of us who are not monks but are single householders totally devoted to the spiritual quest. 🙏
Thank you very much Swamiji 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Note from Ted! Great job.
Swami is a treasure of wisdom! Powerhouse of knowledge. Listening to you is like nectar. Thank you for your work to the society 🙏
Jai guru Swamiji 🙏🌹🎈❤
Love you Swami, enlightened person like you are the need of today
Such a beautiful talk! ✨🕉️
Swami Pranam... beautiful talk...thank you for lighting ⚡ us with it.
I can't say I am a spiritual person at all, got all kinds of problems but I have experienced that just giving up on my ego or if may call it 'my me factor' a lot of my problems automatically disappear. Swamiji taught that trick in a lecture! Thnks to him for that!
Thank you Swami Ji 🙏
🙏🙏🙏lots of respect and regards to pujay swamiji
I bow down to your wisdom Swamiji.
Why we forget all this knowledge after some time, it just escape from my mind after an hour. I am listening to Swami ji for more than three years, I understand what He is saying in all his talk, But there is no significant improvement in my spiritual life. I always fall back into the same pattern same routine of my life.
I am struggling too. I think it's because my mind is very much tired. Tired with the stress' and strains of this modern day life. I cannot focus or see clearly atm. Trying to get into a regular routine of meditation, even for 10 minutes a day I believe is key. Good luck to you. Your comment is 6 months ago so hope you're on a more focused spiritual path 🙏
Thanku swamiji for guidance and mentioning us who are not monks but on spirutal path...gives us more strength by see8ng u....thanku..
Swamiji your explanation desribes my journey my quest at present.
Superb TALK
As Usual, Eye opening video❤
I too want to join ashram ... Spiritual quest is there ...
Searching for a mentor like u who can guide me 🙏🙏 I like listening to u !!
Who will accept a girl disciple 😢... I am also a girl!
In Sri Ramakrishna order, Sri Sarada Math and Ramakrishna Sarada Mission are there, established by Swami Vivekananda exclusively for women. A girl can join and become a nun. There are other orders in Hinduism that accept nunhood. You can check out.
@I Love You where is it in India? 🤔
Sarada Math is close to Dakshineswar Kali temple in Kolkata. You can go and meet Matajis there and join the monastery if you feel like joining and they deem you suitable of joining. All the best to both you.
Om shree Guru Bhyo namaha ,
Yes what Professor said about Spirituality is true the Peace u get is what makes you to walk the path is immense. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I have an awesome survey on my recent video for a big break through for Evolution of Conciousness and Quantum Entanglement. You can check it out and use some of the questions to answer in your upcoming videos if you'd like.
How to contact swamiji?
First of all you can not afford to bring seduction in the 'Blandings.' Good chap you are!

Deleted to my younger
Swamiji why your order don't believe in Krishna,he is real but dont believe him but still he loves you
Well why do you think his order (i.e. Ramkrishna Mission) don't believe in Krishna???
Kindly show us your thoughts
Who said they don’t? Also in Hinduism there is no room for belief ! Hinduism is totally about seeking. Also this concept that god loves us and all are so christian or islamic . Love is a human emotion , even though depicted differently in different mammals.
Things are just what they are ! Stop believing like muslims and Christians and find it for yourself... religion vs spirituality..
@@subarna89 how can you call yourself hindu,these people are turning us into atheist,you are not god and advaita is false interpretation of vedanta,God is there and he is distinct from you and his name is krishna but you mayawadis will never understand the greatness of the lord but still he loves you,advaita may lead you to the path of knowledge but dvaita will lead you to love and bhakti of the supreme lord
@@sumitdutta7043 because they are mayawadis they dont pursue bhakti or devotion but rather think that knowledge is supreme and only path to enlightment and liberation,they think they are god ,everyone is god but they not a fraction of fraction of fraction of the supreme truth(param satya)
You know bhaja govindam is written by Shankaracharya. Even though they advice gnana for most of the part, for 95% of the people this order advocates Bhakthi.
