What if everything you’ve been taught about ‘god’, worship, and salvation is just the kindergarten of the path of the rational philosophy of Vedanta?

The ancient Rishis (wise, selfless sages) spoke in metaphors and extensive analogies—not to hide the truth, but because ultimate reality must be directly experienced. It cannot be handed to you as dogma or belief.

Yet what do the ignorant masses do? They take the allegories literally and spin them into entire new cults, sects, and traditions! Haven’t you seen all those ‘I-know-it-all’ bearded men in flowing robes strutting around like proud peacocks who spin yarns about being reincarnations of some old sages who existed 50,000 years ago and so on? Where does all that come from? How do those people even get there? One reason: The IGNORANCE of the masses strengthened by the disease of DUALITY infused into them – or rather, the lack of knowledge of NONDUALITY or universal oneness in them.

Watch the video presentation below to understand why such profound analogies exist in the Puranas, Itihasas, and Vedantic scriptures at all.

It is indeed comforting to believe in a ‘divine father’ watching over us—listening to our prayers, changing all his plans only because we were ‘good children’ or fasted sincerely, rewarding good, punishing evil. Temples and prayers sustain this. A necessary beginning, maybe, but it is like ‘spiritual kindergarten’. True awakening requires quitting kindergarten and progressing toward Vedanta’s university.

Below are a few points why Vedanta stands apart:
• It rejects all blind belief in any supernatural being or other such unintelligent stuff in favour of direct knowledge
• It transcends ritual worship through Self-inquiry
• Through studying the master-disciple dialogues, seekers systematically remove ignorance to recognise their true nature – which the Srimad Bhagavad Gita reveals as the highest state of consciousness – SBG 2:72

What we call “spiritual seeking” often becomes mental chasing. Vedanta ends this by revealing:
✓ The illusion of separation between seeker and sought
✓ That rituals cannot give what you already are
✓ How to recognise the eternal presence beyond birth and death
✓ That the ultimate goal isn’t conceptual – it’s a transformed state of mind (what the Gita calls “sthita-pragnyaa”) SBG 2:55

This isn’t about new beliefs – it’s about realising the truth that:
• Liberates from all mental conditioning
• Establishes one in natural peace
• Reveals consciousness as your fundamental state

This is not about adopting new beliefs—it’s about transcending belief itself, to know truth directly.

The wave need not believe it is the ocean—it need only look and realise that it is the ocean.

Aum Tat Sat.

This knowledge isn’t “enlightenment” — it’s what remains when all illusions fall away.

🔄 I know few will read this or watch the myth-shattering video – truth tends to terrify the comfortable. But if these words stir even the faintest doubt in some corner of your conditioned mind, share it with someone still trapped in ‘spiritual kindergarten’. They might just deserve their first taste of freedom.

This isn’t just another talk. It’s an experience—one that might shake the very foundation of what you think is real. But be warned: once you step through this door, there is no going back.

Can an Eye See Itself? Understanding the Nature of the Self

[This is a continuation of the post “Not Your Body? Quick Tips to Discover Your True Self!”]

Many seekers struggle with the concept of the Self, often expressing confusion and frustration over their inability to “connect” with it. I’ve heard people saying things like, “I feel the disconnect with my own self,” and so forth. The fact is that such statements are logically flawed. Why? Because the Self is not something to be seen or grasped—it can only be realised. CONTINUE READING AND WATCHING THE VIDEO ON SUBSTACK.

Bhaja Govindam: The Song That Will Transform Your Life

Most people listen to or recite Bhaja Govindam without grasping its true essence—but this profound composition by Shri Adi Shankara is far profound than what most people might think. It is a bold call to awaken from ignorance, starting with the striking words, “O Fool,” and leading to a life of wisdom and responsibility.

In this video, The Bhaja Govindam Song on the new Timeless Vedanta YouTube Channel, I unravel the deeper meaning of each Shloka, providing an English translation alongside a downloadable PDF with the original Sanskrit, transliteration, and translation.

Bhaja Govindam is not about blind beliefs or meaningless rituals but about attaining SELF-knowledge (Atmagnyaana), freeing the mind from delusions, and embracing Vedantic clarity. This understanding is vital in today’s world, where distractions pull us away from truth.

Watch the video, explore this timeless wisdom, and pair it with The Ever-Relevant Gita: A Present-Day Rendering—together, they will bring you clarity, peace, and a truly fulfilling life.

Discover the Mandukya Upanishad: The Essence of AUM and the Four States of Consciousness

Welcome to TimeLess Vedanta, where ancient wisdom meets modern seekers. In this    video, we will dive into one of the most profound texts in the Vedanta philosophy—the Mandukya Upanishad.

The Mandukya Upanishad, though the shortest of the 108 Upanishads, holds the key to understanding the essence of AUM and the four states of consciousness: waking, dreaming, deep sleep, and the transcendent state of Turiya. This Upanishad is a gateway to self-realisation, offering timeless insights into the nature of reality and your true Self.

In this video, we explore:

  • The significance of AUM and its connection to the three states of consciousness.
  • The fourth state, Turiya, which underlies and transcends all other states.
  • How the Mandukya Upanishad can guide you to realise your divine nature and break free from the illusions of the mind.

Whether you’re new to Vedanta or a seasoned seeker, this video will inspire you to look within and discover the divinity that resides in you.

Free PDF Included: To deepen your understanding, I’ve also prepared a beautifully formatted guide to the Mandukya Upanishad. Download it now and embark on your journey to self-realisation.

Tree of Abundance

A Message of Reflection and Clarity

As we take a moment to reflect on our lives, let’s remind ourselves that a new year, whether it’s the Gregorian year or any other marker of time, by itself cannot do anything. It is our perception of things and our attitude towards life that truly influence our lives.

In my opinion, what we need to first strive for is clarity—clarity in the way we think, perceive, and judge. For this, some fundamental understanding of oneself and universal oneness is essential.

In our world, filled with numerous cults, groups, spiritual leaders and gurus, it is crucial to recognise the true qualities of divinity, which are honesty, sincerity, compassion, modesty, and gratitude. These virtues surpass any specific doctrine or tradition.

TThe Vedas, Upanishads, and the Srimad Bhagavad Gita are invaluable tools designed to guide individuals towards selflessness. However, although they make things easier for a seeker, they are not the only path to achieving a divine state. Many remarkable people who have never encountered these texts exhibit profound divinity, suggesting that true spirituality transcends any specific set of teachings.

In the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Shloka 2:46, Krishna says that one who has attained SELF-realisation needs the Vedas as much as one would need a well when it is flooded everywhere. This illustrates that attaining supreme knowledge is the highest goal.

Everyone’s spiritual journey is unique. The purpose of Karma Yoga, or performing one’s duty without expecting results, is to maintain a balanced state of mind. Emotions such as happiness, sadness, anger, hatred, and envy are born from our perceptions. These emotions are merely waves in the otherwise tranquil ocean of awareness.

When we learn to perceive things differently, we can face and handle challenges better. However, the root causes of mental pain, sadness, and suffering are often attachments and our expectations.

The greatest lesson I have learned from life’s ups and downs is to never expect anything from anyone or life itself. Instead, relish every moment, knowing that anything can happen at any time. Being alive, healthy, sane, and conscious is a gift to be celebrated.

I think that feeling upset about things can also be seen as a form of arrogance or entitlement. It is because it overlooks the miracle of life happening with every heartbeat, which, by the way, can stop at any time.

BBy cultivating a profound understanding of this, we can achieve peace in any circumstance. Introspecting and recognising our fundamentally innate honest and sincere nature reveals the misguided notions arising from a lack of clarity, which obscure our divine true self. Challenging situations refine and polish us, leading to the highest clarity and the ultimate state of Krishna.

Please reflect on the following Shlokas from the Srimad Bhagavad Gita:

SBG 14:23
Krishna says: “He remains unattached and is not moved by sense objects. He knows that it is the senses and the mind born of the Gunas that act while his real Self remains unwavering in all situations.”

SBG 14:24
“He is the same in pleasure as well as in pain; is established in the Self; he is one to whom a lump of earth, a stone and gold are no different from each other; he treats equally the friendly and the unfriendly, and accepts praise or criticism with equanimity.”

SBG 14:25
“He who remains unmoved in honour and dishonour; is the same to friend and foe, and has renounced all actions by giving up claims of being the ‘Doer’, is said to have transcended the three Gunas.”

SBG 14:26
“He who serves Me with unflinching devotion and transcends the Gunas, is fit for becoming Brahman.”

SBG 14:27
“For I am the abode of the formless Brahman, the imperishable and the immutable, of eternal Dharma and of absolute bliss.”

Reflect on these teachings to find peace and equanimity in your spiritual journey. Once such clarity has been achieved, every new day can be celebrated as the first day of the rest of your life, without waiting for any calendar to announce and validate it.

As we embark on our own journeys, let us seek the fruits of the Tree of Abundance. This metaphorical tree, rooted in the fertile soil of knowledge and wisdom, offers us an endless bounty. From its branches hang the fruits of health, prosperity, and happiness, each one a result of the nurturing power of understanding and insight. When we cultivate our minds with learning and awareness, we gain the true wealth that life has to offer. May the Tree of Abundance bless you with its riches, nourishing every aspect of your life and guiding you towards a future filled with endless possibilities.

Please remember that if you continue to be what you have always been and do what you have always done, your life will continue to be how it has always been. Different results need different inputs. It all starts with knowledge. It is usually through the transformative power of knowledge that one can plant the seeds of change and harvest a future abundant with new possibilities.

Thank you.

Have a great life ahead.

Stay blessed.

Jai Shri Krishna.

A Simple and Practical Life-Changing ‘Mantra’

Crisis Management

Simple Truth for Mental Peace

Beat Stress and Fear Instantly with This One Secret!

We all experience mental stress, and in 99.99% of cases, it arises from one primary reason: not being able to come to terms with a situation. This was a profound lesson I learned early in life, thanks to my father’s timeless advice. Whenever I found myself in danger or facing a serious predicament, his words would echo in my mind, guiding me through the turmoil.

My father’s advice was simple yet powerful: “In times of trouble, stay calm and ask yourself what to do next.” This approach encourages acceptance of the situation, even if temporarily, and prompts you to ask, “What next?” This small but significant shift in mindset allows your intelligence to take over, pushing aside emotional responses and enabling you to find practical solutions.

Life can often feel overwhelmingly complicated, much like making intricate ‘jalebis’. However, the true sources of our stress are usually straightforward: ego, sense of entitlement, and self-pity. My father taught me to recognise these barriers and to let them go. By doing so, you clear the path to a more serene and manageable life.

Embracing this mindset has been a cornerstone of my highly eventful life. It’s a strategy that has repeatedly proven its worth, offering a 100% guarantee for a life filled with peace, love, joy, and humour. These golden words, rooted in my father’s wisdom, can help anyone achieve a blissful existence.

So, next time you find yourself in a stressful situation, remember to stay calm, accept the moment, and simply ask, “What next?” You’ll be amazed at how quickly clarity and solutions emerge.
