Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Professor Edwin Bryant Answers: Are Hindu Gods Mythological or Real?
Q: What do you think about the ultimate reality?
Ultimate reality differs based on tradition; for Vaishnavas, saguna Brahman is eternal and has form, unlike in Advaita Vedanta where it's viewed as mithya.
Professor Edwin Bryant Answers: Are Hindu Gods Mythological or Real?
Q: What methods have you used personally and what have you learned through them?
I am a bhakti from the Vrindavan devotional tradition, and I believe you have to take a leap of faith and surrender to Bhagavān to experience truth.
163. Bhagavad Gita Chapter 14, Verses 1 - 5 I Swami Sarvapriyananda
Q: If there is a realization already of being absolute, then why would there be a Sadhana?
Even though realization is simple, ignorance doesn't disappear by itself; it requires inquiry and practice.
163. Bhagavad Gita Chapter 14, Verses 1 - 5 I Swami Sarvapriyananda
Q: In Advaita Vedanta, is God realization more like a step to realizing the Brahman because God is Consciousness plus Maya?
Yes, but not considered a step; God realization is equivalent to realizing Brahman.
163. Bhagavad Gita Chapter 14, Verses 1 - 5 I Swami Sarvapriyananda
Q: On the nirguna cosmology, are we guaranteed moksha?
From a nirguna perspective, one is already free. Freedom and bondage only relate to samsara.
