12 Years of Clarity: The Journey of Tavamithram Sarvada

Twelve years ago, in February 2014, Tavamithram Sarvada began quietly. There was no grand announcement, no strategy to gather followers, and no desire to become an authority. It began from a simple, unwavering intention: clarity. I wanted a space where truth could be examined honestly, where ideas could be tested, and where understanding would matter more than approval.

This platform was never meant to impress. It was meant to illuminate.

From the very beginning, the aim was to share what truly helps a human being live with steadiness, intelligence, and inner freedom. Not borrowed knowledge. Not inherited beliefs. Not emotional comfort. But understanding grounded in observation, reason, and direct insight.

Over these twelve years, I have shared what I have studied, tested, experienced, and verified for myself. The central focus has always remained the same: the nature of the mind, the root of suffering, and the possibility of freedom through clarity.

One truth stands out above all. Disturbance does not come from situations. It comes from interpretation. Events are neutral. It is the mind’s reaction that creates agitation. When perception becomes clear, reaction becomes intelligent. And when reaction becomes intelligent, calmness is no longer something to be practised. It becomes natural.

Many believe calmness means suppressing emotion. That is not calmness. Calmness is understanding. When something is fully understood, it no longer disturbs. This is why I have always emphasised observation before change. Just as a doctor diagnoses before treatment, one must observe the mind before trying to control it. Without understanding, all effort becomes struggle. With understanding, transformation becomes effortless.

Throughout these years, I have consistently pointed to one direct and reliable source of supreme knowledge: the Srimad Bhagavad Gita. Not as a religious text, not as mythology, not as ritual instruction, but as a precise manual of clarity. When understood rationally, it cuts through confusion faster than any other teaching. It dismantles fear, exposes illusion, dissolves dependency, and frees a person from mental slavery to belief systems, authorities, and imagined limitations.

The Srimad Bhagavad Gita does not ask for belief. It leads a seeker towards understanding. And understanding is liberation.

Everything shared through Tavamithram Sarvada has revolved around this principle: verify for yourself. Do not accept something because it is ancient. Do not reject something because it is unfamiliar. Examine, reflect, and understand. Truth does not fear inquiry.

Over these twelve years, this platform has grown into a body of work that includes writings, explanations, lessons, reflections, and practical frameworks for living with clarity. Many readers have written to say that they think more clearly now, react less impulsively, and feel stronger inwardly. That is the only measure that matters. Not numbers. Not recognition. Transformation.

What makes this work different is simple. It does not ask anyone to follow. It asks them to understand. It does not create dependence. It encourages independence. It does not promise comfort. It offers clarity. Comfort weakens. Clarity strengthens.

Tavamithram Sarvada began as a silent movement for those who have had enough of religious nonsense sold to them and are ready for the ultimate truth of Vedanta. It is a reminder. A reminder that every human being already possesses the capacity for insight, steadiness, and freedom. Nothing new needs to be added. Only confusion needs to be removed.

To everyone who has read, reflected, questioned, disagreed, or grown through these writings over the years, you have my sincere appreciation. Your willingness to think deeply keeps this space alive and meaningful.

Twelve years have passed. The purpose has not changed. The direction has not shifted. And the commitment remains exactly what it was on day one: clarity above all.

The journey continues.

With love and affection.

Why me – मैं ही क्यों – நான் ஏன்?

Understanding Destiny through the Srimad Bhagavad Gita

Every morning can be treated as a new Janma (birth), carrying forward the thoughts and mindset from the previous day, thus continuing life patterns. Changing one’s life for the better is not difficult if one understands the natural principle of cause and effect and works towards acquiring the knowledge of the all-pervading Self, Brahman, or Krishna. As long as one thinks of Krishna as a separate entity, they will have expectations, which naturally lead to disappointments. Krishna is everywhere, in all beings, and is existence itself. Rise above dualitym accept responsibility and make the necessary course corrections in life. The Srimad Bhagavad Gita clearly states that the path of knowledge is the highest. Check out Shloka SBG 4:37-38.

To illustrate these concepts, I created three videos in three different languages using easy-to-understand analogies. When I made the Hindi video, one of our family members, Mr. Anupam Agarwal helped me in reviewing the Hindi script. Special thanks to him.

Additionally, I offer my latest book, ‘The Ever-Relevant Gita: A Present-Day Rendering’. This book can answer almost all possible questions one might have about destiny, karma, dharma, Krishna, birth, life, and death.

Embracing the Path of Knowledge

It is an irrefutable fact that everyone possesses some degree of a personality trait called narcissism. The degree of narcissism in a person separates a normal individual from someone who needs professional help. Even a small amount of narcissism can push a person towards feelings of entitlement, selfishness, and the typical ‘Why me?’ question. One’s own answer to this question is usually based on self-pity and a sense of being a victim of others, external forces, or misfortune.

People who care to set aside their narcissistic traits, however small and insignificant, and their feelings of victimhood, can find not just an answer to the ‘Why me?’ question but a permanent solution to it.

The following presentation analyses the ‘Why me?’ question, the principle of cause and effect, and ways to carve out a clearer, better, enjoyable, and enriching destiny with the help of teachings from the Srimad Bhagavad Gita.

May peace reign in your heart, mind, and soul, and may your life be blessed with an abundance of Divine Grace.

Jai Shri Krishna
