One Verse, Three Gods SB 11.5.34 | ISKCON Boston | Svayam Bhagavan Keshava Maharaja by Wisdom That Breathes by Keshava Maharaja

Citações e trechos do livro “The Collected Works” de Robert Adams.Discípulo de Sri Ramana Maharshi, Robert Adams (1928 - 1997) foi um professor americano do não-dualismo, amplamente divulgado entre aqueles que investigam a filosofia Advaita e entre os devotos ocidentais de Bhagavan.Seu ensino baseava-se no caminho de Jñāna Yoga, com ênfase na prática da auto-investigação (Atma-Vichara). Ātmā Vicāra (विचार), é um termo sânscrito que significa o processo de investigar quem realmente somos, a investigação sobre a Natureza do Ser.Esta técnica é a que melhor exemplifica o Jñāna Yoga, o Yoga do Conhecimento sobre Si Mesmo.A meditação da auto investigação é a constante atenção para a consciência interior do “eu” ou “eu sou”, recomendado por Ramana Maharshi como o maneira mais eficiente e direta de descobrir a irrealidade do pensamento “eu” .Adams não escreveu nenhum livro nem publicou seus ensinamentos, pois não desejava ganhar muitos seguidores, em vez disso, preferiu ensinar um pequeno número de buscadores dedicados.Adams afirmou que não existia um novo ensino, e que este conhecimento pode ser encontrado nos Upanishads, nos Vedas e em outras escrituras milenares.

Wonderful World of Rasa | CC Madhya 14.162-167 | London, UK | Svayam Bhagavan Keshava Maharaja by Wisdom That Breathes by Keshava Maharaja

15th April 2026 In this Satsang, Sanjay led a celebration of Bhagavan's Aradhana Day, marking 76 years since his mahasamadhi in 1950. He explained that while the term "celebration" might seem odd for someone's death, it represents honoring Bhagavan's teachings and the grace he shared with others. Sanjay discussed Bhagwan's death experience and his emphasis on the temporary nature of the body, comparing it to discarding a banana leaf after a meal. He highlighted the importance of both self-effort and devotion (Bhakti) in spiritual practice, drawing parallels between different spiritual traditions including Buddhism and Sufism. The discussion emphasized that true realization comes from looking within and finding the eternal self, which cannot be affected by death or physical circumstances. These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

Discourse by Revered Dr. Swami Bhajanananda Saraswati given on 28 March 2026 at Kali Mandir Ramakrishna Ashram. Swamiji continues his series on the Principles of Bhakti Yoga, reading from the teachings of Narada Muni from the Srimad Bhagavatam, Skanda 51, Discourse 5 (translation by Swami Bhajanananda):   1.5.8 śrī-nārada uvāca bhavatānudita-prāyaḿ yaśo bhagavato 'malam yenaivāsau na tuṣyeta. manye tad darśanaḿ khilam Sri Narada said: "You have not praised the stainless glories of Bhagavan. This does not satisfy Him. I think such philosophy incomplete."   1.5.9 yathā dharmādayaś cārthā. muni-varyānukīrtitāḥ na tathā vāsudevasya mahimā hy anuvarṇitaḥ "You have repeatedly described dharma and the rest (dharma, kama, artha, moksha) as the goals, but although a great sage, have not described the glories of Vāsudeva."   1.5.10 na yad vacaś citra-padaḿ harer yaśo. jagat-pavitraḿ pragṛṇīta karhicit tad vāyasaḿ tīrtham uśanti mānasā. na yatra haḿsā niramanty uśik-kṣayāḥ "Words, however beautiful, that do not describe the glories of Hari, which purify the world, are places of pilgrimage to crows, and not to swans who take pleasure in transcendental bliss."   1.5.11 tad-vāg-visargo janatāgha-viplavo yasmin prati-ślokam abaddhavaty api nāmāny anantasya yaśo 'ńkitāni yat śṛṇvanti gāyanti gṛṇanti sādhavaḥ "But those words, however badly composed each verses is, that describe the names etc (name, form, abode, qualities, activities) of the Infinite, destroy the sins of all people. Such words are heard, sung, and accepted by sadhus."

18th March 2026 In this Satsang, there were spiritual discussions led by Sanjay, with participants sharing their experiences and questions about meditation, work-life balance, and connections to Arunachala and Bhagavan Ramana. Sanjay advised Raj to maintain awareness during work without being result-oriented, while encouraging Purnima to practice 30 minutes daily of silent sitting to explore her underlying longing.

4th Mar 2026In this Satsang, Sanjay discussed the importance of understanding one's true nature beyond name and form. He emphasized that identifying with the body-mind complex leads to suffering and karma, while awareness of our true self as pure consciousness brings freedom. He shared a moving story of a child who connected with a tree at a young age, experiencing profound spiritual insights without formal practice. The discussion included Jonas's observation that having a picture of Bhagavan on his wall deepened his spiritual practice, and Radhika's question about balancing caring for family members with her spiritual understanding. Sanjay advised Radhika to focus on her own spiritual path and practice acceptance, suggesting that her example might influence others more than direct teaching. The conversation ended with Sanjay emphasizing the purity of awareness and the importance of understanding that all experiences arise from thoughts.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 49 | Swami Mukundananda  In this grand conclusion of the Srimad Bhagavatam, Swamiji shares Shree Krishna's ultimate message through the final narration of Shukadev to King Parikshit and the profound story of Markandeya Rishi. As Parikshit calmly enters samadhi and transcends death, the Bhagavatam reminds us that the soul is eternal and untouched by the destruction of the body.  Markandeya Rishi's vision of Maha Pralaya reveals the mysterious power of God's Maya. In the midst of cosmic dissolution, he beholds Bal Mukund Shree Krishna peacefully resting on a banyan leaf — demonstrating that while universes arise and dissolve, the Supreme Lord alone remains eternal. What we consider permanent is temporary; what we chase as happiness is often illusion. True security lies only in devotion to God.  Swamiji concludes with prayers of gratitude to Guru, Param Guru, and Bhagavan, emphasizing the transformative power of chanting the Lord's holy names. The Srimad Bhagavatam comes to its glorious close with a timeless assurance: by remembering Shree Krishna with faith and love, the soul transcends Maya and attains eternal bliss.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades.

This is quite a long talk, on a very fascinating topic, delivered by Acharya das in the Philippines. It is a comprehensive look into the question of spiritual identity, God-realization, and the resultant experience of the awakening of transcendental and ecstatic love for God which naturally arises from that.Acharya das outlines three essential questions for self-realization: What is my essence? (spiritual being), What is my position? (subservient part and parcel of God, not the center of everything), and What is my natural function? (to love and serve). He described how material consciousness leads people to try becoming "mini-gods," placing themselves at the center of “their” universe, which ultimately results in emptiness and unhappiness. Regarding God-realization, he explained three aspects of God's manifestation: Brahman (impersonal spiritual energy), Paramatma (the expansion of God within the heart of all beings), and Bhagavan (the personal form of God in a spiritual realm). The speaker emphasized that love is an exchange between persons and that every soul has an eternal and intimate connection with God who is their true soulmate. He next explains that pure love for God already exists within everyone's heart and doesn't need to be acquired from external sources. Through the process of bhakti-yoga (devotional practice), particularly chanting God's holy names, this dormant love naturally awakens as the heart becomes purified.Some of the verses he quoted or which support this topic:God - He is the eternal among all eternal entities, and the chief conscious being among all conscious beings. Among the many living entities, He is the chief, who fulfills their desires. Śvetāsvatara Upaniṣad 6.13 & Kaṭha Upaniṣad 2.2.13The same jīva (spirit-soul) is eternal and is for eternity and without a beginning joined to the Supreme Lord by the tie of an eternal kinship. He is transcendental spiritual potency. - Śrī Brahma-saṁhitā 5.21Learned transcendentalists who know the Absolute Truth call this nondual substance Brahman, Paramātmā or Bhagavān. ‐ Bhāgavata Purāṇa 1.2.11“Pure love for Kṛṣṇa is eternally established in the hearts of the living entities. It is not something to be gained from another source. When the heart is purified by hearing and chanting, this love naturally awakens. — Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Madhya-līlā 22.107“By chanting the holy name of the Lord, one dissolves his entanglement in material activities. After this, one becomes very attracted to Krishna, and thus dormant love for Krishna is awakened.” — Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Madhya-līlā 15.109CHAPTERS00:01:13 Introduction to Soul vs. Body Identity ‎ 00:05:47The Reality of Death and Eternal Nature of the Soul ‎ 00:09:33 The Vedic Teaching on Individual Soul and Supreme Soul ‎ 00:14:07 Self-Realization: Understanding Essence, Position, and Function ‎ 00:21:34 The Problem of Material Consciousness and Mini-God Mentality ‎ 00:27:40 Natural Function: The Joy of Service and Giving ‎ ‎00:34:18 Three Aspects of God: Brahman, Paramatma, and Bhagavan 00:41:22 The Eternal Relationship and Two Birds Analogy ‎ 00:51:39 The Supreme Teaching of Love and Common Misconceptions ‎ 00:55:05 The Nature of Love and Three Aspects of God Continued ‎ 00:56:52 The Process of Awakening Dormant Love ‎ 01:01:10 Sadhana Bhakti: The Practice of Devotional Service ‎ 01:05:12 Meditation as Spiritual Immersion, Not Mental Activity ‎ 01:23:29 Kirtan

  In this part, Swamiji explains the six questions raised by the sages of Naimisharanya and how Suta Goswami answered them. The sages asked: what is the highest welfare in Kali Yuga, the essence of all scriptures, the reason for Krishna's descent, His divine pastimes, the other avatars of God, and where Dharma resides after His departure.  Suta Goswami revealed that the supreme Dharma is pure devotion to the Lord, free from selfish motives. He clarified that the Absolute Truth is realized in three aspects — Brahman, Paramatma, and Bhagavan — with Bhagavan, the personal form of God, being supreme. The Lord descends to uplift souls, restore Dharma, and reveal His purifying pastimes.  Swamiji then narrates the 24 principal avatars of God described in the Bhagavatam: the Four Kumaras, Varaha, Narad, Nar‑Narayan, Kapil, Dattatreya, Yajna, Rishabh, Prithu, Matsya, Kurma, Dhanvantari, Mohini, Narsimha, Vaman, Parashuram, Vyas, Ram, Balaram, Krishna, Buddha, and Kalki who will appear at the end of Kali Yuga. Each avatar demonstrates a unique aspect of divine compassion, guidance, and protection.  This part emphasizes that after Krishna's departure, Dharma has taken shelter in the Srimad Bhagavatam, which shines like the sun to dispel the darkness of Kali Yuga.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from IIT and IIM.

These profound teachings on the nature of pure consciousness as taught by Sri Ramana Maharshi were taken from various sources/texts, including, 'Talks with Ramana Maharshi,' 'Day by Day with Bhagavan' and 'The Maharshi's Gospel'.Ramana Maharshi (1879 -1950) was an Indian sage and jivanmukta (liberated being). He was born Venkataraman Iyer, but is mostly known by the name Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. He was born in Tiruchuli, Tamil Nadu, India. In 1895, an attraction to the sacred hill Arunachala and the 63 Nayanmars was aroused in him and in 1896, at the age of 16, he had a "death-experience" where he became aware of a "current" or "force" which he recognized as his true "I" or "Self".Music: Arunachala Siva chant - produced by Ramana Maharshi Centre for Learning, Bangalore - India._____________________________

In this nineth episode of the Narad Bhakti Sutra series, Swami Mukundananda compares the paths of rituals, knowledge, and yoga, showing why they are incomplete without devotion. Vedic rituals demand six conditions that are nearly impossible to fulfill in Kali Yuga, and at best they grant temporary celestial pleasures. Knowledge may lead to self‑realization, but even the jnani requires bhakti to cross maya. Ashtanga yoga disciplines the mind, yet Patanjali himself insists on surrender to God.  Swamiji explains that bhakti is amrit swaroopa — the nectar that makes the soul immortal. Just as nectar retains its power whether mixed with milk, juice, or water, bhakti sanctifies every path. Ultimately, only devotion reveals God fully — not just as the distant Brahman or the indwelling Paramatma, but as Bhagavan, the Supreme Divine Personality who descends and performs His leelas.  For seekers, this episode highlights that bhakti is the supreme path, the essence of spiritual life, and the only way to truly experience Shree Krishna's love and presence.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from two of India's most prestigious institutions—IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades.
