Discovering the True SOURCE of Happiness - Intro to Advaita Vedanta - Part 1 

True. Even I'm astounded by the profundity of Hinduism. And ofcourse the teacher here brings it forth in the most comprehensible manner.

I'm very happy. The knowledge that swami Tadatmananda is teaching is indeed profound. I thank him as well

Interesting to hear from someone from Iran. I have often wondered if the esoteric teachings of Advaita Vedanta could be combined with Zoroastrianism to give Zoroastrianism a more mystical flavor.

Wow!! I thought even Indians in their busy life need to adopt and adapt accordingly....we thought only we face problems in India.... great to know that in Iran, and around the world people are benefitted by Vedantic philosophy and Hinduism! Good time has now come to India because of an abled visioned Prime minister Modiji...good karma back in India!

What a great outcome, friend! Good on you to leave pills on the side. I too was taking antidepressants for years but I started meditating and now I am following Swami Tadatmananda and his teachings resonate within me. I am taking notes

True. This channel is farm more sophisticated, delicate and careful with these teachings than many other Gurus and teachers out there.

@@montelo555 Exactly, and much better quality in all these ways than the typical expensive college course!

I agree!!

It might take a few generations, but it is my hope that the western mind can value these ancient teachings. It’s my honor to help this happen and why I am becoming a yoga teacher.

Communism atheism and anti national sentiments are ruining young indians. They think it's cool to be atheist. These ppl are missing our ancient treasures of wisdom and knowledge

@@thephoenix1601 They aren't ruined! They seem ignorant, they just don't know their transformative power. But each of us can be open to teach some pieces of wisdom if asked

@@thephoenix1601 the irony is that you are being ignorant when you say such words. Very few set of teenagers believe in atheism to act cool whereas a large part of the educated liberal society believes in Atheism, Communism, etc out of their rational thinking. Everyone is entitled to their beliefs as everyone grows up in a different environment. No one is absolutely right or wrong.

@ALL IN 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣..nice joke..Himalayas are basement of indian spirituality like Hinduism, buddhism and jainism

Great name

Way to go Thom 🤟

Great news :-) please advise how Swamiji's understanding and teachings coincide with this uncovered happiness? Also how are you now helping others? Thank you 🙏

It seems that you got rid of the negative internal side of your own self more than getting rid of external negative people in your life.

I agree.

wow!

You are road to perfection thanks

You see purity but I see smugness and arrogance.

@@trixy8669 The mind is a mirror.

@@trixy8669 you see in others what you see in yourself my dear, try purifying your mind once.

are you portugese?

Hi where can I get the book of adventa vedanta

​@@ravitejamalisetti813There is no such thing as book of Advaita Vedanta. There are several texts written by Adi Shankaracharya.

Yes, this is an excellent use of digital technology used to understand the essence of Vedanta. Such manuals are required for us to manage mind and body.

By the merit of your comment it’s clear you are open enough to find that inner happiness should you stay on your path.

ALL of human experience comes from within. Its your ears and brain that turn reverberations in the air into sound even if you are in the busiest street, if your deaf you wont hear a thing

Don't divide wisdom into Western and eastern my dear, it's for all of us. Just like you follow Advaita, we can also follow Stoicism, the west is also full of philosophies which will lead to enlightenment. It's just that meditation and mindfulness is not included in those philosophies.

​@@xxxxxxxxxxx-ps8pnyes right Western and Eastern are just terms made by humans

We Indians can't speak English in Native American accent.

​@@vishnumohan992yess right

Pls do let me know as well if you get to know.

Contemplate on it.. keep thinking about it..

🙏🙏🙏ओम् शांति

It is a Sanskrit Shlok/Mantra from Vedas In Devanagari Script: ॐ सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः । सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु मा कश्चिद्दुःखभाग्भवेत् । ॐ असतो मा सद्गमय । तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय । मृत्योर्माऽमृतं गमय ॥ ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥ Transliteration in Roman Script: Om Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah Sarve Santu Niraamayaah | Sarve Bhadraanni Pashyantu Maa Kashcid-Duhkha-Bhaag-Bhavet | oṃ asato mā sadgamaya tamaso mā jyotirgamaya mṛtyormā'mṛtaṃ gamaya Om Shaantih Shaantih Shaantih || It's. Meaning Om, May All be Happy, May All be Free from Illness. May All See what is Auspicious May no one Suffer. Lead us from the unreal to the real Lead us from darkness to light Lead us from death to immortality Om peace, peace, peace!

Tibetan Buddhism teachings are originallyb from India that's why they have many similarities.

Also look up Sarvapriyanda on RU-vid. Best teacher of Advaita

just like Amanda Kwong says... Buddhas teachings derive from hinduism, the vedas and puranas... he makes some changes to it that deviate and make Buddhism dsitinctly different but the majority of it is the same. Similar with Jesus, his message is taken from the old testament canon and appocripha of the Jewish torah, he makes some changes to it that deviate and make christianity distinctly different but the majority of it is the same. i would argue that if you compared the western religions of the holy book Christianity, islam, zoroastrianism, judaeism, and their anti belief system atheism, those systems are VERY different from the eastern religions that probably all derive from the vedas hinduism, daoism, buddhism, jainism, and even indeginius stuff like native american beliefs... The east are all very similar but very different from the west. In the east 666 is lucky number the west is 777. infact, 108 is 36 three times... 36 is 6 x 6. The dragon is revered in the east. in the west the dragon is condemed. The eastern teachings harmonize with each other. The western teachings divide and clash with each other.... These are just some small differences from the two sides. but there are too many to count. it is clear that both sides come from something different and are apposed to each other. The ONLY teacher in the west that is similar to the east is the sermon of Jesus in the apocryphal bible, not the canonical bible. Which is why india revers Jesus as well. according to scientists/historians Jesus disapeared for a while into the east... when he came back, his message was eastern but spoken in the western language/belief system that the west could understand/accept. ofcourse, he was killed and the majority of his sermon was later thrown out by emperor constantin and his church officals. And all who had what was considered blasphemy would be condemed and killed by the church.

@@alchemygal3285 Buddha didn't change anything! , Don't degrade him , he is one of the finest spiritual teachers of India. Like many , he also added a new treatise of spiritual wisdom by expanding the knowledge of the sages of the past and his knowledge to come up with the profound teachings of Buddhism. Don't think like the people in west.

Kakashi Hatake its not just the people in the west. i understand how you are thinking. this is hindu teaching. but in the asian areas that teach buddhism and disregard the complete hindu teachings, they teach exactly what i said. they rever buddha as above all the hindu teachers... they dont degrade him... thats a matter of your opinion. if anything, they would say you have degraded the Buddha by putting him at the same level as the other *hindu* teachers. If you read the tripitaka and studied its history, you would have known the many passages that the buddha teaches how the other teachers are in error. he goes extensively over all the hindu teachers. its the same with jesus.. in the christian teaching they disregard the complete hindu teachings, but in india, the hindu teachings, they highly regard jesus. but the christians rever him as above all other teachers... most denominations worship him as God... they would say that hindus degrade Jesus... but that is a matter of their opinion and beliefs. sounds like you right? opinion and belief. again, its not just the people in the west, it is a christian who is not a hindu and it is a buddhist who is not a hindu. i never degraded buddha by saying he made distinct different claims opposed to the hindu teachings. example, the hindus teach that there is an eternal self. the buddha teaches that there is no eternal self. that is just one distinct difference. my knowledge comes from reading the vedas, puranas, tripitaka, bible, apocrypha, quran, avestan, and so many others, etc. plus documentaries ,the current living teachers, and my college courses that focused on this area of knowledge. where does your knowledge come from? just india? or do you derive your knowledge from the whole world and all of their scriptures and interpretations? or just indian scripture and claims? its good to know the other ppls as well and how they think and to not disregard their opinions based on another groups beliefs. anyway, there is no need for (!) excitement in ones speech. lets stay civil and peaceful on matters like this. if you wanted to know why i said what i said, you could have just asked me nicely and then reply with what you think strongly about and believe about the Buddha than back it up with your reasoning... out of love and compassion for me.. rather than with excitment and strong speech. It is is even taught by the Buddha in the Majjhima Nikaya, to not disparage or extol someone or a group of people when teaching. you dispparaged a huge group of people, the people in the west. by disparaging a group of people, how does one expect to help that group when they spread a hint of hate towards them? when extoling a group of people, one has hightened those people over all others and then inadvertently disparaged all others, that are not in the category, as less.... Pride is blinding. it would serve one well to let go of attachment to these identities.

Please read 'I Am That' by Nisargadutta Maharaj. He lived his entire life as a family man but was always in the presence of his true self.

They are not from the school of advaita vedanta, most hindus today follow idol worship unlike vedants

Where are you from ?

They are actually dvaitists

I didn't understand I either.i avoid sad movies because they emotionally effect me too much

You must see hindi devotional movie like jai santoshi ma,ramayan,mahabharata,santa gyaneswar
