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

“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.

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.

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

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

Jai Shri Krishna

Bhaja Govindam on the Timeless Vedanta Channel

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.

Your Life, Your Movie – A Profound Revelation

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?

‘Watch Your Life, Your Movie’ and discover the truth for yourself.

Mandukya Upanishad on TimeLess Vedanta

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.

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.
