Dear Friends,
We are delighted to announce a new book by Swami Sarvapriyananda, Dṛg Dṛśya Viveka: An Inquiry into the Seer and the Seen, published by the Vedanta Society of New York.
Who is the one who sees, and what is merely seen?
Drawn from his twelve-part lecture series, this book unfolds a classic Vedantic inquiry with Swami’s characteristic clarity, humor, and warmth. Through stories, illustrations, and teachings on meditation, it guides readers toward the discovery of our true nature as pure witnessing Consciousness.
Launched on October 12, the book is available at the VSNY Bookstore and on Amazon in hardcover, paperback, and Kindle editions.

Dear Friends,
We are delighted to share that Moments of Awakening — a collection of Vedantic stories by Swami Sarvapriyananda — is now available in print and e-book formats on Amazon Kindle and at the premises of VSNY:
https://a.co/d/0jd7xjMz
Over more than two decades of talks and lectures, Swami Sarvapriyananda has illumined the deepest truths of Vedanta through stories — passed down through monks and teachers, shaped by centuries of telling, and delivered with the warmth and quiet humor that are entirely his own. A washerman's donkey. A wave on the Atlantic. A prince who fell in love with his own portrait. Each one carries, in just a few pages, what philosophy alone rarely manages to convey.
The book was launched on July 4th at Vivekananda Retreat Ridgely — the anniversary of Swami Vivekananda's mahasamadhi, and America's 250th birthday — in the very room where Vivekananda once sat in meditation. A fitting beginning for a book that carries his tradition forward.
The special commemorative edition is available in July on Amazon (e-book and paperback) and in the VSNY Bookstore:

I have met many people who have studied philosophy at top universities but they know nothing about Vedanta . Hence they are still baffled by some questions that are easily answered by Vedanta . This eloquent swami is soaked in Vedanta but also is very well versed in western philosophy . What a living resource ! He has done the hard miles on our behalf . Thank you Swami . Thank you Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi . Happy Easter to one and all ️️

The ancient Indian sages ( Rishis) encountered these truths in the depth of their samadhis and passed it down to posterity in the form of the vedas , Upanishads and Vedantic teachings. Buddhism is an integral part of this dharmic civilization.

Now here's a first - he's convinced me that holiness, sanctity - is also funny! Its the one quality I'd never associated with that level of serious confrontation with reality. Just brilliant! Thank you India for preserving the wisdom, beauty and strength of these insights! Yours is a world heritage culture indeed!
