Your Life, Your Movie – A Profound Revelation

Posted on by Tavamithram Sarvada

You Are The Director of Your Life

What if the secret to a truly fulfilling life has been right before your eyes all along? What if the simple shift in perspective presented in this video could transform the way you experience life itself?

I invite you to watch Your Life, Your Movie, a powerful presentation that could change the way you approach your existence. Drawing from my time in the world of cinema as a stuntman and actor, I have come to see life through the lens of filmmaking—where the real magic is not in the final product but in the journey of creation. The same principle applies to our lives. Too often, we get caught up in chasing a distant outcome, forgetting that the most enriching moments happen in the process.

In this video, I reveal an essential truth—one that can dissolve stress, regret, and the perpetual longing for a future that never truly arrives. Whether it’s making a film, preparing a meal, or working on any meaningful endeavour, the joy is found in the doing, not just in the result.

Have you ever wondered why even the most successful people continue striving, barely pausing to celebrate their achievements? It’s because the destination is fleeting, but the journey is where life happens. The challenge, however, is that most people struggle to remain present. They either dwell on the past or project themselves into an uncertain future, missing the richness of the Now.

This presentation draws on timeless wisdom, personal experiences, and profound insights to guide you toward a simple yet transformative realisation. If you can grasp and implement this one secret, it could redefine your entire outlook on life.

Are you ready to shift your perspective?

The Essence of Karma: Insights from the Srimad Bhagavad Gita

Posted on by Tavamithram Sarvada

After six years, I am revisiting this post to shed more light on the principles of Karma, Karmayoga, Doership, and methods to manage one’s Karma.

Realisation is the crucial first step in managing and transforming your own Karma. Recognising that nothing is happening to you personally, but rather that all events in your life are the result of your Karma, which is shaped by your genetic inheritance, upbringing, education, and experiences—can open a new path for you. This awareness allows you to take corrective measures and actively alter the course of your life.

Blaming others for your circumstances and failing to take action to change them is a futile use of your time and energy.

Those who delve into the Srimad Bhagavad Gita recognise that attachment is the root of negative emotions such as sadness, dejection, anger, jealousy, and hatred. Attachment to the outcomes of one’s actions can diminish concentration and efficiency, causing immense pain when goals are not achieved.

One effective approach to reaching the ultimate goal is through Karma Marga—the path of righteous action performed without attachment to results. This practice ensures mental equilibrium, even in challenging circumstances.

Bhagavan Krishna imparted to Arjuna the significance of being a Karmayogi and provided guidance on adopting this path.

A common question from those unfamiliar with Karmayoga is, “How can one work without considering the outcome or aiming for a result?” This question arises from a misunderstanding of Krishna’s teachings, which emphasise that a doer should be entirely focused on their objective: SBG 2:41 “In this path, O Arjuna, there is a single point of focus and determination. The thoughts of the undecided are branched and are infinite.”

Attachment to results can lead to a loss of focus, as individuals may become preoccupied with the rewards of success or the fears of failure—scenarios that are purely speculative. This mental diversion compromises the quality of their work, steering them towards mediocrity.
