Ask Swami with Swami Sarvapriyananda | Sept 24th, 2017
Q&A session lead by Swami Sarvapriyananda as part of a spiritual retreat at the Vedanta Society of New York on Sept 24th, 2017. List of Questions with Timestamps: 1:00 -- When we are reborn, do we get the same piece of consciousness as we have in this birth? 3:20 -- If whatever we do is Karma then does whatever we think also our Karma? 7:10 -- If same Brahman is residing in me and others, how is my Karma my own, why don't I share somebody else's Karma or vice versa? 11:20 -- What is the point of Karma when the results of the action is delayed and we don't even remember the actions for which we are suffering? How are we supposed to learn the lesson? How do you prove the existence of afterlives, or is it mere a faith or belief. 23:55 -- If so much of what happens to us is due to our Karma in past lives and our tendencies that we have inherited, what is the need of living within the framework of morality? 31:20 -- Where does evil come from? 38:12 -- If the whole world is Brahman, then it suggests the evil is also Brahman. Then how to distinguish between good and evil? If God exists then why is evil more than good in the world? 48:40 -- Tell us more about death and destruction of universe. 1:01:00 -- Why are you stressing more on the teachings of non-dualism of Shankara and neglecting Ramanujacharya's and Madhavacharya's teaching. There are more references of Madhavacharya than Shankara in even Gospels of Ramakrishna. ► Support the Vedanta Society of New York: http://bit.ly/SupportVedantaNY Web: http://vedantany.org Soundcloud: http://Soundcloud.com/VedantaNY iTunes Podcast: http://bit.ly/vedanta-talks-itunes Google Play: http://bit.ly/vedanta-talks-google-play ABOUT VEDANTA Vedanta is one of the world’s most ancient religious philosophies and one of its broadest.
