In this foundational class on the causal body (kāraṇa śarīraṁ), Acharya Tadany completed the discussion of the three bodies (śarīra-trayam) by introducing kāraṇa śarīraṁ (verses 108–123) as the unmanifest, seed condition (avyakta) from which both the gross (sthūla) and subtle (sūkṣma) bodies emerge during creation (sṛṣṭi) and into which they dissolve during cosmic dissolution (pralaya), operating on the principle that …

Bhagavad Gītā, Chapter 6, Class 201
In 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 …

The world is not something outside of us.It appears according to the mind that perceives it. The world is not something outside of us.It appears according to the mind that perceives it. For example, when we wake up irritated, the traffic feels hostile, people seem rude, and the day feels heavy. Yet, when we wake up serene, the same traffic …

In this expansive and foundational class, Acharya Tadany continued the detailed mapping of the material aspect (anātmā) by exploring the prāṇamaya kośa (physiological/vital sheath) and manomaya kośa (psychological/emotional sheath), explaining how the five vital energies (pañca prāṇa: prāṇa, apāna, vyāna, samāna, udāna) and five organs of action (karmendriyāṇi) together form the prāṇamaya kośa, channeling kriyā śaktiḥ (power of action) through …

In this meticulously structured class on Chapter 1, Acharya Tadany dissected Arjuna’s progressive emotional collapse on the Kurukṣetra battlefield as a deliberate five-part dramatic arc designed by Vyāsa to mirror the universal human descent into saṁsāra (the disease of worldly attachment). From the grand introduction of the dharma-field and the assembled armies, through Arjuna’s systematic observation of beloved relatives and …

In this profoundly compassionate class, Acharya Tadany illuminated Krishna’s revolutionary philosophy of spiritual freedom (mokṣa) as the ultimate goal of life—the complete liberation from the cycle of birth and death—while emphasizing that the Vedic tradition uniquely offers total freedom of choice: Krishna presents mokṣa as a powerful suggestion, never as a commandment, fully respecting individual agency and supporting every sincere …

There are countless possible approaches, but a simple and deeply illuminating analogy can help us. The leftovers thrown into the trash yesterday are not used to prepare today’s meal. This is an obvious, everyday fact, yet it carries a powerful lesson. By Acharya Tadany Cargnin dos Santos. Published in Diário de Santa Maria, January 1, 2026. The past is, in essence, …

In this profound class, Acharya Tadany resolved one of the deepest paradoxes in Vedānta by demonstrating that while the Upaniṣads declare that everyone loves the Self (ātmā) alone, and all worldly love is conditional (capable of turning into sorrow when conditions change), the same scriptures uphold universal love as the highest ideal, the apparent contradiction dissolves when we distinguish between …

In this comprehensive and deeply practical class on Dhyāna Yoga, Acharya Tadany illuminated Krishna’s timeless teaching on moderation (yukta or madhya mārga) in verse 6.16–17 as the indispensable foundation for successful meditation and spiritual liberation, emphasizing that extremes in eating, recreation, work, and sleep—whether overindulgence or deprivation—destroy both physical health and mental clarity, preventing the steady focus required for true …

In this richly detailed class, Acharya Tadany continues the systematic mapping of the material aspect (anātmā) of the human being by unpacking the five sheaths (pañca-kośa), presenting them as a complementary model to the three bodies (śarīra-trayam) and three states (avasthā-trayam). With the annamaya kośa (food sheath) identified as identical to the gross physical body (sthūla śarīram), a refined form …
