SELF-DISCOVERY in Advaita Vedanta: Story of "The Confused Lion" 

I wish it was that easy to let go of the false beliefs.

🙏 blessed to have you in my life. Jai Guru Dev!

Beautiful way to teach Vedanta. Parables always reach deep in the heart.

Excellent! Swāmiji said somewhere that“ teaching is not telling!” He said, teaching means to create a conducive situation where a student can not help but discover what you want them to discover. The teaching here is truly leading to contemplation. Pranāms!

I was struggling with my mindset, constantly shifting from a state of bliss to a state of wordly mess. I wondered what is the reason for such constant shifting, why am I not able to be in a permanent state of bliss and then RU-vid recommends me this video.😃

I love the animation. This story is so relevant now.

Thank you Guruji for animations . It helps kids to get involved in the meaningful life’s teaching at a very young age.

Eye opening story, thank you. Namaste from Nepal !

Wonderful parable with excellent explanation. Thanks Swami Ji

The last part of the story is not a part of the original vedanta story yet it enlightened me on how to deal with the worldly suffering and know the ultimate truth, however this might take many births

Beautiful story. Thanks a million for this piece of wisdom.

I am tremendously thankful to you Swamiji for your blissful guidence .

Illuminating. Best fable I've heard in a long time

Your pronunciation and explanation is mind blowing. Yes indeed due to ignorance we fail to know about are real nature. If we all know about our self then the world would have been different.

Great Guruji 👍👌🙏🙋

Absolutely love ur informative videos thank you swami

Pranams!

Vedantha(teachings) TELLS the truth, Gurus (Self realized lion) SHOWS the truth. That's why guru is very important. If we are really serious in our search, Guru will definitely come and show the truth - My guru Ramana Maharshi, I'm waiting for him.

Excellent Advaita story - Thank you Gurudev 🙏 - I am using your screen shots & your commentary to present this in my Guruji's Satsang with credits to you & your lineage. Thank you so much 🙏

Wonderful Video Namaste ❤️

beautiful story by a beautiful human. you are more Indian and Hindu than most Indians could ever be. Thank you for your service to humanity. Namaste.

Excellent teaching as always.

This is such an eye-opening story. Have heard it before but not so effectively presented as a cartoon video with nice music and the explanation with right pause. Thanks Swamiji🙏 as a habit like seeing mirror, perhaps we need to see this video often to remember our true divinity and shirk the habit of false-identity!

Thank you so much Swamiji 🕉️🌞 hopefully he was a vegetarian Lion than ❤️

Aatmiya GURUJI. Hare Krsna. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Loving you one and all Now and HERE in this Light and Moment.

🙏Every word measured & so well articulated, Swamiji.🙏

Amazing Explanation Guruji.. Clear picturization helps to put a very high Vedanta in kids at very young age. My heartfelt gratitudes .

Thank you kind teacher

Very good metaphor!

Hari, The Lion

Good that the lion did not eat the sheep that took care of him for years.

Beautiful Story and also the background music is beautiful, may I know which is the track ?

Dear Swamiji. Where does Meditation fit into the system of Vedanta ? 😊

Knowledge is important but knowledge is not sufficient. Self-realization is important more than knowledge. In other words, only theoretical knowledge is not sufficient. We need its practical knowledge also. We should translate knowledge into practice.

thanks for sharing such wisdom! Namaste)

Are we not conditioning the mind of a loin?? Why does an infinite mind needs help to realise its power??

Do people wonder why they are Sheep, euphemistically? This video describes the origin of becoming sheep.

I love your teachings, and don’t want to say you are wrong but my experience doesn't jive with this. Once you know who you are, your true self, whatever habits continue don’t matter because you know that’s not you. We don’t discover we are a different type of creature, we discover we are not a creature at all. There is no way to manifest our true nature other than perhaps silence and stillness with a peaceful heart. The teachings (any teachings) don’t show or reveal anything, they are abandoned along with all other maps. The teachings are a way to use the mind and body in order to allow our true nature to be discovered and it occurs on its own when we stop insisting we are a individual ego only. Now I totally get how at different levels different stories are helpful to make points, help get unstuck, and offer encouragement. I just thought I would add my two cents.
