12 Years of Clarity: The Journey of Tavamithram Sarvada

Twelve years ago, in February 2014, Tavamithram Sarvada began quietly. There was no grand announcement, no strategy to gather followers, and no desire to become an authority. It began from a simple, unwavering intention: clarity. I wanted a space where truth could be examined honestly, where ideas could be tested, and where understanding would matter more than approval.

This platform was never meant to impress. It was meant to illuminate.

From the very beginning, the aim was to share what truly helps a human being live with steadiness, intelligence, and inner freedom. Not borrowed knowledge. Not inherited beliefs. Not emotional comfort. But understanding grounded in observation, reason, and direct insight.

Over these twelve years, I have shared what I have studied, tested, experienced, and verified for myself. The central focus has always remained the same: the nature of the mind, the root of suffering, and the possibility of freedom through clarity.

One truth stands out above all. Disturbance does not come from situations. It comes from interpretation. Events are neutral. It is the mind’s reaction that creates agitation. When perception becomes clear, reaction becomes intelligent. And when reaction becomes intelligent, calmness is no longer something to be practised. It becomes natural.

Many believe calmness means suppressing emotion. That is not calmness. Calmness is understanding. When something is fully understood, it no longer disturbs. This is why I have always emphasised observation before change. Just as a doctor diagnoses before treatment, one must observe the mind before trying to control it. Without understanding, all effort becomes struggle. With understanding, transformation becomes effortless.

Throughout these years, I have consistently pointed to one direct and reliable source of supreme knowledge: the Srimad Bhagavad Gita. Not as a religious text, not as mythology, not as ritual instruction, but as a precise manual of clarity. When understood rationally, it cuts through confusion faster than any other teaching. It dismantles fear, exposes illusion, dissolves dependency, and frees a person from mental slavery to belief systems, authorities, and imagined limitations.

The Srimad Bhagavad Gita does not ask for belief. It leads a seeker towards understanding. And understanding is liberation.

Everything shared through Tavamithram Sarvada has revolved around this principle: verify for yourself. Do not accept something because it is ancient. Do not reject something because it is unfamiliar. Examine, reflect, and understand. Truth does not fear inquiry.

Over these twelve years, this platform has grown into a body of work that includes writings, explanations, lessons, reflections, and practical frameworks for living with clarity. Many readers have written to say that they think more clearly now, react less impulsively, and feel stronger inwardly. That is the only measure that matters. Not numbers. Not recognition. Transformation.

What makes this work different is simple. It does not ask anyone to follow. It asks them to understand. It does not create dependence. It encourages independence. It does not promise comfort. It offers clarity. Comfort weakens. Clarity strengthens.

Tavamithram Sarvada began as a silent movement for those who have had enough of religious nonsense sold to them and are ready for the ultimate truth of Vedanta. It is a reminder. A reminder that every human being already possesses the capacity for insight, steadiness, and freedom. Nothing new needs to be added. Only confusion needs to be removed.

To everyone who has read, reflected, questioned, disagreed, or grown through these writings over the years, you have my sincere appreciation. Your willingness to think deeply keeps this space alive and meaningful.

Twelve years have passed. The purpose has not changed. The direction has not shifted. And the commitment remains exactly what it was on day one: clarity above all.

The journey continues.

With love and affection.

The Secret Battle Inside Your Head (And How to Win It)

The mind presents a profound paradox. It is a collection of beliefs, attitudes, delusions, and illusions, yet it remains the core of our intellect. It can craft either ‘heaven’ or ‘hell’ within the span of a single breath. Learning to manage this incredibly powerful instrument, which can also act as a destructive weapon, is arguably life’s most important mastery.

My talk, How to Stop Being Triggered | The Way Out of the Mind Trap, shows how Vedanta provides the ultimate framework for understanding, training, and ultimately transcending the restless mind.

Engage with this talk, reflect deeply, and uncover the hidden mechanism behind every emotion, along with the path to freedom from it. By the end, it becomes clear that whatever is experienced arises in the mind, and that life and one’s world can be transformed by working on one’s perception and reaction.

From Dogma to Direct Experience: The Practical Power of Vedanta

Most people live their lives filled with noise, dogma, and contradiction, making sense of life a challenging task. They have unanswered questions, such as, “Who am I?” or “What’s the point of all this?” They are either caught up in beliefs and rituals, have no inclination to engage with such questions, or, due to their beliefs, are afraid to question traditions, or simply too busy to stop and think.

Religions and ideologies claim to offer answers, but more often than not, they leave us confused and divided. They demand belief, but fail to encourage true understanding.

Vedanta is not another belief system. It offers a unique method – a way of seeing – that helps you distinguish between what is real and what is assumed. It doesn’t require blind faith. Instead, it invites you to look within and engage with your own direct experience.
