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 …

Bhagavad Gītā, Chapter 4, Class 163
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 …

Wandering the pathways of the mind,I entered forests of quiet creation,Marshlands of unreal depths,And gardens ripened by time. There were fields where ideas took root,Streams where emotions whispered and flowed,Fears clustered like a restless hive,And a lone thought, stubborn, heavy, and slow. I beheld volcanoes of anxietySpilling fire across the plains of patience,While mountains of steady sobrietyFed the deep valleys …
Read More »Freedom Without Fear: The Quiet Power of the Vedic Vision.
this ancient wisdom offers a much-needed antidote. It reminds us that inner transformation cannot be legislated, that fear cannot produce clarity, and that truth does not require enforcement. In a world increasingly polarized by ideologies, beliefs, and rigid identities, the Vedic vision stands as a rare and luminous exception. It neither coerces nor threatens, neither demands belief nor punishes doubt. …
