The Supreme Person: Who is Krishna?What if the friend we have been searching for has been with us all along?An ancient Vedic analogy describes two birds sitting together in the same tree.One bird is constantly trying to enjoy the fruits of the tree—sometimes sweet, sometimes bitter. It represents each of us, moving through life searching for happiness, struggling with disappointment, and continually hoping the next experience will finally satisfy us.The other bird simply waits.This is Paramātmā—the Supreme Soul, accompanying us within the heart, patiently waiting for us to turn toward Him.In this fifth talk from The Bhagavad-gita — A Guide for Life, we move beyond the question “Who am I?” to another profound question:“Who is God—and what is my relationship with Him?”The Vedic teachings describe three features of the one Absolute Truth: Brahman, the all-pervading spiritual reality; Paramātmā, the Supreme Soul accompanying every living being; and Bhagavān, the Supreme Person—the ultimate object of love.And at the heart of these teachings is Krishna.The Bhagavad-gita presents Krishna not as a distant God disconnected from our lives, but as the source of both the material and spiritual energies—and the eternal friend of every living being.We may experience loneliness even while surrounded by people. We may continually search for someone or something that will make us feel complete.But perhaps part of that longing comes from having forgotten our deepest relationship.The spiritual journey is therefore not simply about discovering what we are.It is about discovering Whom we belong with.And remembrance of Krishna doesn't have to be confined to meditation, temples or religious rituals.Krishna says: “I am the taste of water.”Even something as simple as drinking a glass of water can become an opportunity to remember the Supreme.The eternal friend we are searching for may have been beside us all along.Chapters 00:00:00 Arjuna's surrender and the foundation of spiritual knowledge ‎ 00:01:53 Krishna consciousness as the highest form of yoga ‎ 00:04:37 The three features of the Absolute Truth: Brahman, Paramatma, and Bhagavan ‎ 00:08:43 Paramatma and the two birds in the tree analogy ‎ 00:12:58 Bhagavan, the soul's servant identity, and divine love ‎ 00:16:30 Krishna's avatar, transcendental form, and liberation ‎ 00:22:02 Free will, perception of Krishna, and divine reciprocation ‎ 00:26:38 Illusion, impersonalism, and Krishna as the basis of Brahman ‎ 00:31:46 Ishvara, Purusha, and Krishna's material and spiritual energies ‎ 00:38:09 Loneliness, eternal relationship, and Krishna as the origin of all ‎ 00:41:06 Vedic creation, material elements, and remembering Krishna in daily life ‎ 00:45:59 Devotion, surrender, chanting, and the accessibility of spiritual life ‎ 00:52:33 Invitation to questions and final encouragement‎#BhagavadGita #GuideForLife #Krishna #Paramatma #BhaktiYoga #SpiritualWisdom #SelfRealization #GodRealization #YogaWisdom

Destroying Demons | SB 11.9.4 | ISKCON Hudson | Svayam Bhagavan Keshava Maharaja by Wisdom That Breathes by Keshava Maharaja

15th July 2026In this Satsang, Sanjay delivered a spiritual teaching focused on self-realization and the path to inner peace. He explained that true liberation comes from moving inward and embracing pure awareness without any identity, thoughts, or emotional attachments. Sanjay described how a realized being can live in the world while remaining free from bodily identification and religious attachments, using the example of Bhagavan Ramana who taught through silence rather than words. He emphasized that the practice of staying in inner silence without thoughts leads to eternal peace, contentment, and bliss, as this pure awareness is our natural state that cannot be lost even if memory fades. Sanjay concluded by sharing his belief that Ramana's teachings about inner silence are the purest form of spiritual guidance, noting that many people have achieved realization through simply sitting in silence with Bhagavan's teachings.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA (Non-duality Awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Arunachala Ramanaya !

13th July 2026In this Satsang, Sanjay explored spiritual teachings and meditation practices, particularly discussing Adi Shankaracharya's Aparokshanubhuti and Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi's teachings about self-realization. He shared stories about Professor Krishnamurti Ayer's transformative experience at Virupaksha Cave in 1914, where he unexpectedly prostrated before Bhagavan despite his initial skepticism toward spirituality and religion. The discussion emphasized the importance of contemplation on one's true nature, distinguishing between identifying with the body-mind and recognizing the pure witness consciousness that remains unchanging even during deep sleep. Participants explored how suffering arises from misidentification with temporary phenomena, and how practicing silence and surrendering the ego can help one abide in the natural state of bliss and pure awareness.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA (Non-duality Awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Arunachala Ramanaya !

24th June 2026In this Satsang, Sanjay discussed the book "Ribhu Gita," explaining that it is a 650-page, 44-chapter text translated from Tamil to English that contains dialogues between sage Ribu and his disciple Nidaga. He described how Bhagavan used to read this book daily during his time, emphasizing that the repetitive nature of the text mirrors their ongoing satsangs since 2019, focusing on shravan (listening), manan (contemplation), and Nidhidyasana (firm conviction). Sanjay read excerpts from chapter 26, poem 37, which describe the nature of the absolute truth and self-realization, explaining that the book helps dissolve the ego through repeated exposure to spiritual truth. He shared examples of how ancient sages like Raja Janak achieved realization through dialogues in other texts like Ashtavakra Gita, and explained that true understanding comes when one sees themselves as the uninvolved witness rather than the separate entity of mind-body. Sanjay concluded by emphasizing that knowing the truth brings freedom from all conditioning, religious teachings, and societal roles, leaving one in a state of eternal peace and contentment.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.
