A X-mas message. Why do our actions matter.

a more mature and refined mind choose to look within before accusing others. There is the human law, created by us, convenient, changeable, partial, and limited. It is imperfect, no doubt, yet still necessary to sustain coexistence and prevent chaos. There is also the Divine Law, natural, impersonal, impartial, and eternal. It does not respond to our opinions nor adjust …

Class 101, vivekacūḍāmaṇi

In this class, Acharya Tadany delivered a profound revelation from the Upaniṣads and Śaṅkara’s Vivekacūḍāmaṇi that resolves one of the deepest paradoxes of human existence:  While the scriptures declare that everyone loves the Self (ātmā) alone, and all worldly love is conditional (capable of turning into sorrow when circumstances change), the same scriptures uphold universal love as the highest ideal—how …

Bhagavad Gītā, Chapter 6, Class 199

In this essential class on Dhyāna Yoga, Acharya Tadany illuminated Krishna’s profound teaching of the “middle path” (madhya mārga) in verse 6.16–17 as the indispensable foundation for successful meditation and spiritual liberation: Extremes in eating, sleeping, or activity, whether overindulgence or severe deprivation, destroy both physical health and mental clarity, preventing the mind from attaining the steady focus required for …

Class 26, Tattva Bodha

In this illuminating class, Acharya Tadany completed the exploration of the three states of experience (avasthā-trayam) by unveiling deep sleep (suṣupti avasthā) as the domain of the causal body (kāraṇa śarīram), where the gross and subtle bodies temporarily resolve, leaving only the dual experience of total ignorance (ajñānam) and profound bliss (ānanda), a state so complete that we wake refreshed …

A Stroll Through Love

To walk the path of love is more than allowing oneself to feel; it is allowing oneself to be transformed. Loving is a journey that reveals, expands, and lays bare our depths. By Acharya Tadany Cargnin dos Santos. Published in Diário de Santa Maria, December 18, 2025. Love has accompanied humanity since its very first steps, yet despite being universal, …

Bhagavad Gītā, Chapter 4, Class 161

In this class, Acharya Tadany questions the comforting illusion that a “pure mind” alone grants mokṣa, revealing through Krishna’s words that mental purity is merely the prerequisite soil while jñāna (Self-knowledge) is the seed that actually flowers into liberation, I.e., without deliberate planting through śravaṇam, mananam, and nididhyāsanam, even the cleanest mind remains barren.  He masterfully unpacked the three layered …

Class 100, vivekacūḍāmaṇi

In this landmark centenary class, Acharya Tadany delivered the final knockout blow to the illusion of conditional happiness by proving, through Śaṅkara’s razor-sharp logic and the immortal Yājñavalkya-Maitreyī dialogue from the Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad, that nothing in the universe is loved for its own sake. Everything is loved only for the sake of the Self. And the means (sādhanam) like money, …

Bhagavad Gītā, Chapter 6, Class 198

Acharya Tadany. In this class on Dhyāna Yoga, Acharya Tadany unveiled Krishna’s profound roadmap for meditating on Bhagavān across three progressive levels of spiritual maturity. The manda-adhikārī (beginner) focuses on a single personal form (ēka-rūpa dhyānam), cultivating devotion through concrete images and murtis to build emotional connection. The madhyama-adhikārī (intermediate) expands to see the Divine manifested in everything (anēka-rūpa dhyānam), …

The Forgotten Gift of Discernment

When the mind closes itself, the other is no longer seen as a complex human being and is instead reduced to labels, categories, and simplistic judgments. The mind of the ordinary person is often inhabited by rigid generalizations, by so-called “immutable truths,” and by beliefs that are hermetically closed to dialogue, inquiry, and revision. These are conclusions reached too early, …
