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

Posted on by Tavamithram Sarvada

“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.

The Illusion of ‘Me’: Why You’re Not Your Body

In some major religions, creation is described as a divine act—’god’ creating humans in ‘his’ own image and forming the universe in six days, resting on the seventh. But what does it mean to be made in ‘god’s’ image? Is it about the physical form, or something deeper? From the largest of stars to the tiniest creatures on Earth, everything is a conglomeration of atoms—physical objects perceived through names and forms. Yet, identifying solely with these forms traps us in illusion, much like the prisoners in Socrates’ ‘Allegory of the Cave’, who mistook shadows for reality.

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

Jai Shri Krishna

Bhaja Govindam on the Timeless Vedanta Channel

Posted on by Tavamithram Sarvada

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.

Mandukya Upanishad on TimeLess Vedanta

Posted on by Tavamithram Sarvada

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.

Shattering Beliefs: The Ultimate Truth of Atman and Brahman

Unveiling the Truth: Why You Should Question Everything

This video presentation delves into profound philosophical questions through an engaging Q&A discussion. This session is designed to ignite your curiosity and challenge your understanding of reality, consciousness, and the nature of the self. This video is a must-watch if you’ve ever wondered about the deeper meanings behind ancient scriptures or the true essence of existence.

Learning Through Analogies

We explore various analogies to shed light on complex concepts. Imagine understanding the nature of consciousness through the metaphor of a wave in the ocean, a fire igniting under the right conditions, or the space within a pot. These simple yet powerful illustrations can transform your perception and deepen your insight into non-duality and the oneness of all existence.

The Importance of Inquiry

In the pursuit of knowledge, it is crucial to study, observe, analyse, and experience rather than simply accept interpretations handed down by others. The masses often prefer to listen passively rather than actively engage with the material. This passive acceptance can lead to misunderstandings and superficial knowledge. True understanding comes from questioning, probing, and seeking clarity.

As Krishna states in Shloka 4:38 of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, “There is certainly nothing more purifying than knowledge. He who is perfect in Yoga finds it in the Self in due course of time.” This Shloka highlights the transformative power of true knowledge and its role in achieving a peaceful state of mind.

The Path to Clarity

Clarity is essential for inner peace and spiritual growth. By challenging assumptions and seeking to understand the fundamental truths, we can attain a deeper level of clarity. This journey requires patience, dedication, and a willingness to go beyond surface-level interpretations.

Why This Video is Essential

This video is not just another lecture; it’s an invitation to embark on a journey of discovery. The discussion is designed to make you think critically and inspire you to seek your own answers. I present ideas that can change the way you view the world and your place within it.

Don’t Miss Out

Join this enlightening discussion and take the first step towards true knowledge. Watch the video now and start questioning everything you thought you knew.

Stay curious, stay engaged, and remember: the journey to knowledge and clarity is the path to true peace and enlightenment.
