A gateway to clarity
There comes a moment when borrowed answers are no longer enough.
Tavamithram is a place for examining life, the mind and the one who experiences them. Begin with what you are facing now. Remain for an inquiry that can accompany you throughout life.
No ceremony. No personality worship. No demand that you believe.
You are here
Not to escape life.
To see it clearly.
Perhaps you arrived with a question. Perhaps with anger, grief, fear, attachment or a decision that will not leave you alone.
The work here does not ask you to cover these with comforting words. It invites you to understand what is happening, who is experiencing it and what clear action now requires.
“You should know that the Kshetrajna or the embodied Self in all bodies or Kshetras is Me, O Arjuna. Knowing about the Kshetra and the Kshetrajnas is called knowledge.”Srimad Bhagavad Gita 13:02 (13:3 in some editions)
A question worth asking
Seeing, yet not seeing.
When reverence arises, is it based on true understanding or on appearance?
This reflection examines outward appearance, conditioning and the need for enquiry before acceptance.
Begin with life as it is
What are you facing today?
You do not need to know where to begin. Choose what is closest to your present experience.
