Timeless Vedanta – Don’t Believe. KNOW!

Posted on by Tavamithram Sarvada

Introducing “Timeless Vedanta” – A Channel Dedicated to Non-Dual Wisdom

The Timeless Vedanta Channel on YouTube

Dear Readers,

“It brings me immense joy to announce the launch of my new YouTube channel, Timeless Vedanta – a space dedicated solely to sharing the pure essence of Advaita Vedanta in a clear, rational, and practical manner.

“In today’s world, which is saturated with noise, confusion, and often superficial spirituality, there is a deep hunger among thoughtful seekers – especially young minds – for clarity and truth. Timeless Vedanta is a space to gain such understanding

“This channel is not about religion, dogma, or blind belief. It is about direct exploration, deep inquiry, and the timeless truth of non-duality – the understanding that your innermost Self is not separate from the reality that pervades all existence.

What You Can Expect:

  • Thought-provoking explorations of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, and Brahma Sutras
  • Connections between Vedantic thought and Western philosophies, including Spinozism and Stoicism
  • Simple, logical explanations of profound topics such as consciousness, existence, and the nature of reality
  • A firm rejection of superstition, ritualism, and unnecessary complexity
  • Content that encourages critical thinking, self-reflection, and most importantly, direct understanding

Why “Timeless Vedanta”?

Because truth does not age. It is not bound by culture, belief, or time. The teachings of Vedanta, when stripped of layers of tradition and theological interpretation, reveal a science of consciousness that is as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago.

This channel is open to people of all cultural and religious backgrounds who have an open mind and a sincere desire to seek clarity.

This channel is an invitation to rediscover that wisdom, to see clearly, and to live freely.

Religion Failed You – Vedanta Won’t

VEDANTA DOESN’T NEGATE ‘GOD’, IT ….. (READ ON AND WATCH THE VIDEO)

Vedanta gets you out of DELUSION.

READ ON SUBSTACK. JOIN MY SUBSTACK. HURRY UP! THIS SITE WILL SOON MOVE TO SUBSTACK!

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.

📽️ Watch “Vedanta vs Religion: The Truth Will Set You Free”
(For those ready to move from concepts to direct realisation)

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.

The myth of needing perfect conditions for peace

READ ON SUBSTACK

What does true peace look like?

Is it a secluded beach at sunset? A mountaintop retreat? The moment after you achieve a long-sought goal?

A photography contest once asked this same question—and the winning answer stunned everyone.

It wasn’t the most beautiful image. It wasn’t the most dramatic. But when the judges saw it, they immediately knew: This is it. This is real peace.

What did they see that moved them so deeply?

And more importantly – how can you access that same unshakeable calm, no matter your circumstances?

I explore this in my new video, “The Essence of Peace: A Journey Beyond Fear and Attachment.” It’s not what you might expect.

You’ll discover:

  • The hidden trap in how we chase peace (and why it keeps slipping away)
  • The 2-word mental shift that dissolves worry instantly
  • What predators, bouncing cups, and your deepest fears all have in common
  • Why “preparing for the worst” is actually the key to fearless living

This isn’t theory. It’s a revelation hiding in plain sight—in a poor village, in life-threatening crises in my life, and in the quiet space between your thoughts.

Peace isn’t something you find. It’s something you stop losing.

Watch here:

“The battle was never with the world. It was always in the mind—and the mind was never really you.”

P.S. The most extraordinary truths often wear the disguise of ordinary moments. This one might catch you by surprise.

Nirvana Shatakam: The Bold Truth That Shatters Every Illusion You Hold Dear

Posted on by Tavamithram Sarvada

“When you KNOW, you don’t need to BELIEVE.” – Tavamithram Sarvada

What if everything you believe about yourself—your identity, your desires, your fears—is nothing but an illusion? What if the very essence of who you are lies beyond the mind, the ego, and even the concept of “I”?

Enter the Nirvana Shatakam, a profound composition by the 8-year-old spiritual prodigy, Adi Shankaracharya. In just six verses, this masterpiece dismantles every label, every belief, and every ritual you’ve ever clung to. It doesn’t just challenge your worldview—it obliterates it.

Imagine a young boy, wandering the Himalayas, confronted by a sage who asks, “Who are you?” His response? A declaration so radical, so fearless, that it strips away every falsehood and points directly to the ultimate truth: “I am Shiva. I am pure consciousness.”

This isn’t just philosophy. This isn’t just spirituality. This is a call to awaken—to see beyond the illusions of identity, religion, and dogma. It’s a challenge to let go of everything you think you know and embrace the infinite truth of your being.

Are you ready to question everything? Are you ready to discover who you truly are? Watch the video now and let the Nirvana Shatakam guide you to the ultimate liberation.

READ AND WATCH THROUGH MY SUBSTACK

You’ve been told what to think. You’ve been conditioned to accept, obey, and conform. But what if everything you believe—everything you rely on—has been carefully placed there to keep you from seeing the truth?

What if the world around you isn’t what it seems?

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.

The Illusion of ‘Me’: Why You’re Not Your Body

In some major religions, creation is described as a divine act—’god’ creating humans in ‘his’ own image and forming the universe in six days, resting on the seventh. But what does it mean to be made in ‘god’s’ image? Is it about the physical form, or something deeper? From the largest of stars to the tiniest creatures on Earth, everything is a conglomeration of atoms—physical objects perceived through names and forms. Yet, identifying solely with these forms traps us in illusion, much like the prisoners in Socrates’ ‘Allegory of the Cave’, who mistook shadows for reality.

Bhaja Govindam on the Timeless Vedanta Channel

Posted on by Tavamithram Sarvada

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.

Mandukya Upanishad on TimeLess Vedanta

Posted on by Tavamithram Sarvada

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.

Join me on this transformative exploration of the Mandukya Upanishad. Watch the video below, download the PDF, and let the wisdom of the ancients illuminate your path.
