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

Unlocking the Power of Your Choices

The Shocking Power of Your Choices: What You Sow Now, You Reap Later

Have you ever stopped to consider how the choices you made in the past have shaped your life today, and how the choices you make today will shape the life you’ll lead tomorrow? It’s a profound thought, one that often goes unnoticed in the hustle and bustle of daily life. Yet, the reality is that every decision, big or small, sets the stage for your future.

Imagine your life as a garden. The seeds you plant now—your choices, actions, and even thoughts—will grow and flourish, determining the landscape of your tomorrow. But here’s the kicker: not all seeds bear the fruit you desire. Some choices can lead to a bountiful harvest, while others may result in weeds that choke out your potential. Try it, and you will see that you can almost always trace everything you do, have, or not have to some small choice you made in the past.

In this video presentation, we will delve deep into this concept, exploring the hidden power of the everyday choices we make. We’ll uncover how every decision we make impacts our future, often in ways we can’t foresee. Through my own real-life example and thought-provoking insights, we’ll see how to make choices that align with the life we truly want to live.

Don’t miss out on this eye-opening exploration of how your current decisions will echo through the years to come. Watch the video and discover the importance of everything you think, say, or do that can plant the seeds of a fulfilling, successful, and happy future.

Faith vs. Reason – Christianity vs. Vedanta

Unveiling the Shocking Truth: Christianity vs. Vedanta – Faith or Reason?

We live in a world filled with diverse beliefs and philosophies, in which, the quest for truth remains a constant journey. This video, “The Shocking Truth: Christianity vs. Vedanta – Faith or Reason?” takes you on an enlightening exploration of two profound world-views that have shaped human thought and spirituality for centuries.

The Clash of Faith and Reason

Christianity and Vedanta offer distinct paths to understanding the nature of existence, the divine, and our place in the cosmos. While Christianity is rooted in faith and belief in a personal God, Vedanta emphasises knowledge and SELF-realisation, guiding seekers towards the ultimate truth of oneness with Brahman.

What to Expect in the Video

This thought-provoking video, is a discussion on the core principles of both Christianity and Vedanta, comparing and contrasting their teachings. We discuss the concept of duality versus non-duality, the role of reason and logic in spiritual pursuit, and the historical context that has shaped these traditions.

The Mahavakya or grand statement “Aham Brahmasmi” (“I am Brahman”) from the Brihadaryanaka Upanishad is a powerful representation of the Vedantic experience of unity and self-realisation. This Mahavakya can be used as a gateway to begin understanding the profound insights of Vedanta.

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.
