For committed seekers.

Tavamithram’s Vedanta Wisdom Chronicles

A Warm Welcome to All

Namaste dear seeker.

Whether you are a new visitor or have been a steadfast companion on this enriching journey, I extend my warmest greetings to you! I trust this message finds you in good health and high spirits. I am delighted to share some exciting news – the launch of my new newsletter and blog on Substack. It is with great enthusiasm that I invite you to be a part of this new chapter.

Journeying Together

Over the course of our journey together, we’ve delved into meaningful discussions, explored profound insights, and nurtured a family of truth-seekers and wisdom enthusiasts. It’s your unwavering support that has led me to this moment, and for that, I am truly grateful.

Embracing the Wisdom of Vedanta

My new Substack newsletter is mainly for those who are ready to embrace a path that goes beyond duality, superstition, and irrational beliefs. If you are someone who seeks to engage with the timeless teachings of Vedanta, a philosophy rooted in reason, logic, and self-discovery, then this space is for you.

A journey not for all

I must emphasise that this journey might not resonate with everyone, and that’s perfectly alright. If you find yourself involved or associated with religious organisations, ‘godmen,’ ‘god women,’ are not mentally or spiritually free, or are seeking something different, I respect your choice. My intention is to create a space where free-thinking, like-minded individuals can come together to explore the profound depths of Vedantic wisdom.

Step into the New Chapter

As of now, the newsletter is free, and there may be a paid section in the future. To access my Substack page and subscribe to my new newsletter, simply click on the image below or on the link provided:

Your presence, engagement, and insights have enriched our discussions and propelled all of us forward. May you and your loved ones continue to flourish, and may your quest for truth and wisdom be met with boundless success.

Thank you once again, and I look forward to connecting with you in my new Substack newsletter and blog!

Warm regards,

Vedanta Wisdom Chronicles: Navigating the Path to Rational Enlightenment – Newsletter

Posted on August 7, 2023August 7, 2023 by Tavamithram Sarvada

Embarking on a Journey of Wisdom and Liberation

Dear Valued Readers,

As we traverse the path of knowledge and self-discovery, I extend a warm welcome to both our cherished followers and those who have recently arrived in our virtual sanctuary. At the heart of this blog lies a profound mission: to illuminate the transformative brilliance of Advaita Vedanta, the pinnacle of intellectual and spiritual evolution.

In a world often clouded by superstitions, myths, and dogmatic beliefs, my purpose is to guide you towards a higher understanding. Together, we will journey away from arcane rituals and practices that bind, and instead, embrace the liberating wisdom of Advaita Vedanta. This ancient philosophy offers a gateway to boundless liberation and pure bliss, free from the confines of misguided practices.

Through the timeless teachings of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, and the Brahma Sutras, I strive to empower you. My aim is not mere recitation, but a deep internalisation of these teachings, leading to fearlessness, self-confidence, excellent health, and prosperity. Together, we’ll cultivate a positive mindset that radiates throughout all aspects of life.

Excitingly, I am delighted to introduce a new chapter in our journey – the launch of our Newsletter series. This venture is for those who seek truth beyond the realm of dualistic beliefs and rituals. If you are ready to immerse yourself in the rational philosophy passed down through millennia, I invite you to join us.

STOP! Please read this post or watch the video in it before proceeding to the next paragraph: Beyond Belief and Ideology: Vedanta’s Perspective on Human Understanding

Please read this post and/or watch the video in it before continuing. It is because you will understand the direction in which the new newsletter series will be going. It will be purely Advaita Vedanta and will never discuss rites, rituals, or any other such factor that creates the ‘my god and your god’ or them and us’ issues.

Now, if you are a serious seeker, and after reading the post ‘Beyond Belief and Ideology: Vedanta’s Perspective on Human Understanding‘, and if you would like to join, please express your interest by signing up for the newsletter. Simply enter your name and email ID in the box below. Please note that even if you are already subscribed to my main blog but have not signed up for the new newsletter series, you will not be added to the new mailing list. I will once again announce when the first Newsletter is ready, but for now, whoever expresses their interest in joining it will be demonstrating their participation in the journey, and that will truly add to my motivation.

Go back

Your message has been sent

Thank you for being part of this enlightening voyage. Let us continue to explore, learn, and evolve, as we uncover the profound truths that lead to a life of liberation, purpose, and unending bliss.

In wisdom and unity,

Jai Shri Krishna

How to become dear to Krishna?

This chapter of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita has only 20 Shlokas which teach devotees how to worship Bhagavan Krishna and meditate upon His teachings. Bhagavan Krishna explains to Arjuna the things one could do in order to become dear to Him. He says that no one is repulsive or dear to Him. It is left to the seeker to interpret this and follow the steps taught in this chapter and get closer to the Supreme Bhagavan Krishna.

Bhagavan said: SBG 9:29
I am the same to all living beings. There is no one who is repulsive or dear to Me. But those who worship Me with devotion are in Me and I too am in them.

Bhagavan Krishna is not affected by anyone or anything. However, the truth is that people who are sincerely devoted to Him, offer complete Sharanaagati before Him and follow His teachings, are always confident about themselves. This makes them stronger and more efficient in whatever they do. It’s like in the case of children who have doting parents. Children who receive a lot of love, attention, protection and guidance from their father, mother or both, usually excel in everything.

Fighting Laziness

In the pursuit of leading a purposeful and fulfilling life, we often encounter the obstacle of laziness that hampers our progress. The teachings of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita provide profound insights on how to combat this inertia and embrace a life of action and purpose. As per the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, it is essential to treat pleasure and pain, gain and loss, victory and defeat alike when engaging in life’s battles.

The verses guide us to recognise the importance of action over inaction, and emphasise the significance of selfless dedication to our duties. By performing our tasks as offerings to the Supreme Bhagavan Krishna and releasing all attachment to outcomes, we become untouched by sin, just like a lotus leaf remains unaffected by water.

Through these teachings, we learn to rise above the dualities of the material world and work for the welfare of all living beings, leading us towards liberation and absorption in the Divine. So, let us embark on a journey of self-discovery, drawing inspiration from the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, and conquering laziness to attain true glory and purpose in life.

Handling Temptation – Web Story

Handling Temptation

Temptation, in essence, is the powerful allure and craving for something alluring or pleasurable, despite its moral wrongness, harmful consequences, or being forbidden. It entices individuals towards engaging in actions, behaviours, or possessing objects that deviate from what is considered virtuous, ethical, or in line with their principles and beliefs. These temptations can take various forms, ranging from giving in to vices, and breaking rules, to acting against one’s better judgment and values. Overcoming temptation necessitates the cultivation of self-control, willpower, and the ability to make wise choices when faced with enticing alternatives.

To truly comprehend the nature of temptation and address its root causes, one can delve into the works of philosophical moral psychology, philosophy of action, and philosophical theology. In this regard, a structured approach, such as studying the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, offers valuable insights into understanding the ego, false ego (the assumed concept of ‘I’), the mind, and, most importantly, the all-pervading SELF. Such knowledge can empower individuals to resist the dangerous nature of temptation and safeguard themselves from becoming its victim.

Remove Demotivation

At the core of our journey lies the intrinsic motivation that propels us to fulfil our duties, achieve our goals, and overcome challenges, elevating our living standards and more. While external support plays a role, we must not forget the paramount significance of our inner drive. This support can manifest in the form of material or moral assistance. We discover their profound influence on our inner motivations as we explore selected Shlokas from the Srimad Bhagavad Gita.

The Srimad Bhagavad Gita serves as a guiding light, leading seekers through various stages, culminating in Divine SELF-Realisation. Reading these chosen Shlokas can provide a momentary surge of mental energy, meeting our immediate needs for a powerful boost. However, it is vital to remember that such brief moments alone cannot replace the transformative experience of delving into the entirety of this life-changing scripture, the Srimad Bhagavad Gita.

KILL Fear and Anger

Define fear.

Fear is an unpleasant, often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger. It is a primordial emotion that exists in all sentient beings. Fear is an emotion that everyone has experienced at some point or the other in life. Most of us have experienced the fear of either losing someone, our honour, money, property, happiness, position or also that of being attacked by someone. Whatever it is, fear basically is imagining something that has not happened yet! Even if it is fearing the repetition of some unpleasant incident in the past, it is still the fear of something that has not happened until that point in time.

The root cause of fear is attachment. Those who fear losing someone or something, do so because of their attachment to the object they feel they would lose. The fear of losing one’s reputation stems from one’s ego. People who dread physical attacks fear damage to their bodies, which is sure to perish at the end of a Janma or lifetime. A person who understands the impermanence of everything physical or materialistic and realises that he or she has nothing to lose; fears absolutely no one and nothing.

In order to reach a higher level of understanding, it would be necessary to comprehend that a person’s body, mind, intelligence, senses and the Atman are separate from each other. Studying the Srimad Bhagavad Gita helps clear misunderstandings that cause faulty thinking, which is one of the prime causes of all misery.

Reading and imbibing the truths in the selected life-changing Shlokas, from the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, given in the collection above can aid in removing fear out of the mind.

Remember that a disturbed mind can achieve nothing and that a calm mind is the first requirement in preparing oneself to receive Divine Blessings.

Reclaiming Your Mind: Embracing Rationality Through the Srimad Bhagavad Gita

Posted on July 26, 2023December 28, 2023 by Tavamithram Sarvada

Sorry for being blunt, but if you hold beliefs in a separate being up there, who is constantly watching and controlling your life—granting your wishes upon prayer and punishing you for not doing so with misfortunes—you might not have attained sufficient mental maturity, are unwilling to employ your innate power of reason, or have been influenced by a cult or religion that prevents you from understanding the true essence of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita.

For the past nine years, I have tirelessly worked to empower everyone, irrespective of gender or social status, with the ability to read, study, and internalise the RATIONAL PHILOSOPHY present in the Srimad Bhagavad Gita. It is knowledge that can be easily grasped if only one remained mentally free.

I won’t elaborate further, but I encourage you to watch this video, which is basically some bonus content added to the 100 selected SBG Shlokas course.

Why would anyone want to be a mental slave to someone or something?

Before you proceed, consider these questions:
1. If Krishna was omnipresent, wouldn’t that mean He resides within me as well? So, why should I search for Him outside myself?

2. If I believe in the existence of beings other than the All-pervading Divine principle, also known as Krishna, does that not negate the existence of Krishna within those beings?

3. Tavamith r am taught his son Vedanta from a young age, ensuring the boy’s mind was completely free from irrational dualistic beliefs. Why am I still bound by baseless belief systems forced upon me?

Meditation: A Pathway to Intelligent Thinking, Emotional Balance and Mental Power

Posted on July 24, 2023July 24, 2023 by Tavamithram Sarvada

Meditation is a powerful practice that holds immense importance in our fast-paced and often chaotic lives. It provides a sanctuary for the mind, allowing us to step away from the constant stream of thoughts and emotions that can overwhelm us. By dedicating time to meditation, we cultivate a sense of inner peace and clarity. A calm mind becomes more receptive to intelligent and rational thinking. It enables us to make better decisions, respond to challenges with composure, and approach life with a deeper understanding.

One of the initial steps towards achieving a peaceful mind is learning to disconnect from our emotions. Emotions can cloud our judgment and lead to impulsive reactions. Through meditation, we learn to observe our thoughts and feelings without getting entangled in them. By creating this mental distance, we become better equipped to navigate life’s complexities with a level-headed approach.

Mantras are invaluable tools in the journey of calming the mind. These ancient, sacred sounds or words have a profound impact on our consciousness. Repetition of mantras during meditation can help quieten the mental chatter and instil a sense of tranquillity. The vibration and rhythm of mantras empower the mind, making it more resilient and focused. As we delve deeper into meditation with mantras, we unlock the potential to access higher states of awareness and find our true selves amidst the noise of the world.

Take the help of meditation and Mantras to calm your mind and invoke Divine Power and Energy into you to start your journey to Inner Peace, Bliss, and Self-Realisation.
