If you find it hard to shed the duality that defines your entire philosophy, mental makeup, and attitude, this page with a collection of selected videos is for you. Prepare to embark on a journey of self-discovery and transcendence. Join me as we delve into the profound wisdom of Vedanta to unravel the illusion of duality and embrace the grand truth of existence and awareness.
Through a series of enlightening videos, I help you explore the essence of Nonduality, and understanding Atmagnyana or the Knowledge of the SELF. The highest stage of learning on the Vedic path is indeed Atmagnyaana. It is the ultimate reality in Vedanta.
Shlokas SBG 2:41-45
“Unintelligent people, who have minds full of desires, are attracted by the flowery statements in the Vedas and they consider heaven as their highest goal. For them there is nothing else higher than it. They speak about the rites as prescribed in the Vedas which get them good birth, power, and enjoyment. They think that there is nothing beyond pleasure and a wealthy life. People, who are attached to such gratifications and power, are carried away by these words, and are not able to attain total determination to concentrate on the Supreme Bhagavan and attain Samaadhi.
Vedic literature deals with subjects that fall under the three Gunas. O Arjuna, you should RISE ABOVE THE THREE, BE FREE FROM DUALITIES, and the thoughts of acquisition and preservation, always remain in Sattva or goodness and BE ESTABLISHED IN THE SELF.”
Shloka 2:46 of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita:
यावानर्थ उदपाने सर्वतः संप्लुतोदके |
तावान्सर्वेषु वेदेषु ब्राह्मणस्य विजानतः || २ ४६ ||
yaavaan-artha udhapaane
sarvataha samplu-todake
thaavaan-sarveshu vedeshu
braahmaNasya vijaanataha (SBG 2:46)
“For a man of SELF-realisation, the purpose served by the Vedas is as much as what a small well does when it is flooded everywhere.”
Together, we will uncover the timeless wisdom that subjective awareness is none other than Brahman itself, omnipresent and transcending names and forms.
Prepare to expand your consciousness, dissolve the barriers of perception, and tap into the infinite reservoir of truth within. Let’s embark on this great journey together!
You can watch a couple of videos or more every day, even on your mobile, and soon you will be through. I will keep updating this page with newer content.

Beyond Religious Divides: Finding Unity in Diversity
Posted on by Tavamithram Sarvada
Beliefs are merely ideas that can change with time
Universal Harmony and Peace
“You know, belief is something you need when there is no evidence for what you believe in. But when you experience something and have a rational explanation for it, you don’t have to believe it – because you know it.”

Beliefs are fluid concepts that can evolve over time. It’s crucial to acknowledge that they are subjective interpretations or convictions held by individuals, susceptible to change due to personal experiences, new information, shifting circumstances, and exposure to diverse perspectives. This adaptability enables individuals to refine their viewpoints and understandings as they navigate life’s complexities. It is called intellectual evolution. Why should we let mutable beliefs dictate our interactions with others and risk fracturing society or fostering animosity?
In today’s world, religious differences often serve as barriers, dividing communities and fuelling misunderstanding. However, within these divides lies the potential for unity and harmony.
In the video below, I go into the complexities of religious diversity and the journey towards understanding and acceptance.
Through thoughtful reflection and open dialogue, our aim should be to bridge the gaps that separate us and embrace the diversity that enriches our society.
Together, let’s uncover the common truth that unites us all, regardless of our beliefs and traditions.
In this brief journey, we’ll examine the divisive effects of beliefs, explore their complexities, and consider the potential for unity amidst diversity. As I take a short drive, I reflect aloud on the importance of transcending beliefs and cultivating understanding and acceptance to foster a harmonious society.

Break Free from meaningless BELIEFS

FREEDOM through VEDANTA
Total Mental Freedom
“Dogma is always based on belief, whereas Vedanta is about study, research, discovery, experience, and enlightenment.”
Don’t divisions among people seem to be deepening with each passing day?
Have you ever pondered the reasons behind religion-based conflicts?
They are nothing but a clash of ideologies. People of one religion want to completely annihilate the people of another!
From rigid doctrines of organised religions to personal faith, belief systems hold immense power, influencing our perspectives and actions.
Let’s have a look at organised religions, in which adherence to prescribed beliefs is non-negotiable, and why their followers are sometimes not just violent but also murderous. These religions enforce dogmatic elements, demanding conformity from their followers without question.
Vedic wisdom offers a profound alternative, in which even the faintest concept of belief does not exist. It is a journey of both spiritual and intellectual evolution. It’s about engaging in self-discovery, culminating in the realisation of the all-pervading Self, personified as Krishna.
Unlike organised religions that limit the human spirit, Vedanta transcends dogma. The entire dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna in the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, is about introspection and discernment, and certainly not imposition.
The culmination of Vedanta is the attainment of Self-knowledge, transcending all dualities of our mundane existence.
Embracing Vedanta requires a departure from the mentally enslaving chains of blind belief, inviting true seekers to listen, study, observe, analyse, process, and arrive at a higher understanding.
True knowledge is the way to rise above divisive forces and embrace spiritual enlightenment. Dogma is always based on belief, whereas Vedanta is about study, research, discovery, experience, and enlightenment. So, let’s cast aside the constraints of dogma and embark on a journey of self-discovery and liberation through studying Vedanta.
Stay blessed.
Thank you.
Jai Shri Krishna.

*If you’re a young person, accessing the profound wisdom of scriptures like the Tripura Rahasya alongside the Srimad Bhagavad Gita can set a transformative course for your life.
**While I haven’t published a translation of the Tripura Rahasya, you can easily find a PDF version with a quick Google search. My personal opinion is that just like the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, you will need to read it at least two or three times to begin to internalise the philosophy considering the years you might have spent immersed in duality.
