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 …

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 …

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 …

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, …

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 …

This title represents the highest honor that a Brazilian city can bestow upon a civilian and, once approved, it becomes municipal law, carrying not …

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, …

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, …

Acharya Tadany. In this class, Acharya Tadany unveiled the profound mechanics of our daily existence by mapping the three states of consciousness onto the anātmā’s structure. In the waking state (jāgrat), the conscious experiencer called Viśva operates predominantly through the gross physical body (sthūla śarīram), using its sense organs to interact with the external world while the mind silently records …

Living, then, ceases to be an anxious attempt to secure results and becomes a daily exercise in lucidity, surrender, and alignment with the greater intelligence of life. One of the deepest inclinations of any human being is to try to reduce the vastness of life to what can be understood, predicted, and controlled. This happens because the mind seeks security. …
