11 Years of Vedantic Wisdom: A Special Gift of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita Audiobook

Posted on by Tavamithram Sarvada

11th Anniversary of tavamithramsarvada.com

It was after one of the many miracles in my life that I started this blog back in 2014. My intention was not only to share my knowledge of Vedanta, but also to walk alongside fellow seekers on the path of self-inquiry and truth. I created a website dedicated to the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, featuring Sanskrit Shlokas, transliterations, and my own English translations. Over the years, thousands have visited my blogs, and I have published accessible translations of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita along with hundreds of videos.

Today, as we begin the 12th year of this blog, and as a gesture of friendship and affection, I am releasing my latest audiobook as a YouTube video. The video is as long as a typical feature film, but the difference is profound—the three hours you invest in this audiobook can transform your entire outlook on yourself, others, and life itself.

All you have to do is press play and listen to it. I have explained the entire text in an easily relatable manner.

As someone deeply devoted to sharing the wisdom of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads, I have never promoted rites and rituals in my work. Anything or anyone that obstructs one’s realisation of truth or delays their pursuit of true knowledge is best avoided. All dualistic beliefs and attachments inevitably lead to suffering. The only path to liberation is the pursuit of the ultimate non-dual truth—beyond which nothing more remains to be attained.

Despite offering free copies of this audiobook through promo codes, many still do not complete the book. It is this widespread ignorance that religious figures exploit, building their own cults and keeping followers perpetually ‘drugged’ on beliefs, myths, and rituals.

The Srimad Bhagavad Gita itself states that the supreme truth is easy to attain. What is required is ‘Jignyaasa’—curiosity, inquisitiveness, and a sincere desire for knowledge.

Since this audiobook is now available on YouTube, all that is required is to start the video and listen.

With affection and best wishes, I urge you to watch the entire video without skipping or missing any parts.

Stay blessed

The Day I Nearly Died: My Journey of Survival, Gratitude, and Realisation

Posted on by Tavamithram Sarvada

(This post is a sequel to an earlier post of mine, titled “The Two Truths of Life.”)

Life is a series of unpredictable events, but nothing could have prepared me for the day I nearly died. In my latest video, I delve into the harrowing moments of a life-threatening ordeal that forever changed my perspective on existence. It’s a story of blood, pain, and sheer willpower, where my presence of mind and unwavering attitude were the only things standing between me and the end.

As I lay there, soaked in blood and teetering on the edge of oblivion, a powerful mantra my father had taught me echoed in my mind: “What next?” This simple yet profound question became my lifeline, guiding me to take the crucial steps that ultimately saved my life.

Through this experience, I have come to deeply appreciate every breath and heartbeat, celebrating life in every moment. My brush with death has instilled in me an immense gratitude for the simple act of living, and I want to share this journey with you.

Join me in my video as I recount this incredible story of survival and gratitude. Discover how facing the unthinkable can transform one’s outlook on life, and perhaps, find inspiration to cherish every moment you have.

In this video, I share my experience and my approach towards life and managing situations. It will greatly help people who are currently in challenging situations by helping them create a shift in the way they think and perceive life.

Watch the full video to experience my journey of survival and learn the invaluable lessons that came with it.

Chasing Shadows: The Myth of Falling in Love Twice

Posted on by Tavamithram Sarvada

Loving the ‘Ghosts’ of the Past

The Illusions of Rekindled Love

To rekindle love with the same person is to engage not with the individual afresh but with the echoes of memories. This profound realisation speaks to the heart’s intrinsic tendency to seek comfort in the familiar, often failing to distinguish between past and present.

When you attempt to fall in love a second time with the same person, it is not the person themselves that you are drawn to, but rather the nostalgic recollections of who they once were in your life. The heart, in its yearning, seeks not the present reality but the cherished illusions of the past. This longing is similar to chasing a mirage, where the closer you believe you are to reclaiming that love, the further you drift from the truth of the now.

mirage 02

Memories hold a powerful sway over us. They encapsulate moments of joy, connection, and intimacy, making them seem far more vibrant than the reality might have been. Everyone changes in life. Their looks, likes, dislikes, attitudes, expectations from others, and overall philosophy of life keep changing. When a person endeavours to rediscover a lost love, the truth is that they are not engaging with the person as they are in the present moment, with all their growth, changes, and complexities. Instead, they entwine themselves with the shadows of what once was, rather than the essence of what is.

This pursuit is fraught with peril. It sets us on a path where the idealised past overshadows the potential of the present. The beauty of memory lies in its ability to preserve moments, yet its danger resides in its capacity to imprison us within them. By constantly looking backwards, we risk missing the opportunities for genuine connection and growth that exist in the present.

To truly understand the nature of love is to recognise its fluidity. Love is not a static entity that can be perfectly recaptured once lost; it is an evolving force that thrives in the present moment. Embracing this perspective allows us to honour our memories, all of which are learning experiences, without becoming enslaved by them, and opening ourselves to the possibility of new experiences and deeper connections.

In the end, the quest to fall in love again with the same person teaches us a poignant lesson: the past, with all its beauty and pain, should be cherished but not clung to. The essence of true love lies in its ability to adapt, to grow, and to find beauty in the present, rather than in the shadows of what once was.

Beyond Beliefs: Harmony Rather Than Conflict

Posted on by Tavamithram Sarvada

The Belief Factor: How Our Views Shape Conflicts

The Power and Perils of Belief

This is about the critical exploration of ‘belief’. After extensive studies and observations, I’ve come to understand that ‘belief’ is the pivotal word we should all be examining and working on. It is the root cause behind many disagreements that have the potential to escalate into serious conflicts, crime, violence, and even wars between nations.

The term ‘belief’ can be defined as an acceptance that something exists or is true, especially one without proof.

Whether it’s a small dispute among family members, friends, or colleagues, or larger-scale disagreements between nations, beliefs—or rather, the lack of respect for individual beliefs—are the seeds that grow into major conflicts. Not to forget that a belief held so strongly it leads to major showdowns between individuals or separations between couples can, in the future, contradict the philosophy of the same person as they evolve.

Through a series of insightful videos, I aim to shed light on how deeply ingrained beliefs influence our interactions and shape the world around us.

Join me on this journey as we uncover the true impact of unsubstantiated beliefs on our lives and learn how to navigate through differences with understanding and respect. Together, let’s explore how fostering critical thinking and open-mindedness can lead to personal growth and societal harmony.
