Tadany Um refúgio para a alma e um convite à consciência.
Bhagavad-Gita_भगवद्-गीता_Ch6_AI-Generated-Summary_Class-201_Acharya-TadanyIn this class bridging the Bhagavad Gītā’s Dhyāna Yoga with Patañjali’s Ashtaṅga Yoga, Acharya Tadany clarified the complementary nature of bahiraṅga sādhana (external disciplines for lifestyle foundation) and antaraṅga sādhana (internal practices for meditation itself), showing how Krishna’s spontaneous teachings in Chapter 6 integrate practical meditation techniques (dhyāna svarūpam) with their ultimate fruit (dhyāna phalam)—lasting inner peace and liberation.
Acharya Tadany explained that Vedānta fully embraces Patañjali’s eight-limbed system as a holistic preparation for the body, energy, mind, and intellect, while firmly rejecting Yoga philosophy’s metaphysics as incompatible with Vedic non-dual teachings, citing Vyāsa’s critique in the Brahma Sūtras.
The class focused on the first two limbs—Yama (five ethical restraints: ahiṁsā/non-violence at physical, verbal, and mental levels; satya/truthfulness; asteya/non-stealing; brahmacarya/moderation; aparigraha/non-possessiveness) and Niyama (five positive observances)—presenting them not as imposed commandments but as wise, educational principles that transform the mind through understanding, particularly the profound “Mirror Principle” where violence to the world returns to the doer, naturally dissolving harm through recognition of interconnectedness and karma.
Acharya Tadany highlighted Ashtaṅga Yoga’s genius as a comprehensive integration of physical (āsana), energetic (prāṇāyāma), mental (pratyāhāra/dhāraṇā), emotional (yama/niyama), and intellectual dimensions, creating the stable foundation needed for successful meditation, and concluded that ethical living, physical health, and energetic balance are prerequisites for the deeper internal practices that lead to true spiritual evolution.
