Vivekananda's Jnana Yoga — Maya and the Illusion of Death

Jnana Yoga: Maya and Illusion | Swami Vivekananda What is real, and what only appears real? In this second installment of Swami Vivekananda's Jnana Yoga, delivered in London in 1896, the great Vedantin turns from the nature of the soul to the nature of the world itself — introducing one of Advaita Vedanta's most challenging ideas: Maya, the veil of appearance that both binds us to suffering and, once understood, becomes the very path to freedom. This installment includes four lectures: 00:00 — Introduction 02:04 – Immortality 35:54 — Maya and Illusion 1:23:28 — Maya and the Evolution of the Conception of God 1:59:50 — Maya and Freedom Vivekananda begins with Immortality, closing the question of whether death is truly an ending, before turning to Maya itself: why the world appears the way it does, how humanity's idea of the divine has evolved alongside our understanding of nature, and — in the lecture that gives this collection its name — how the very illusion that binds us also points the way out. This video stands on its own and does not require having watched Part 1 first.
