In this radiant and profoundly clarifying class, Acharya Tadany unfolded the essential nature of ātmā — the eternal, unchanging consciousness principle that is the true Self — as distinct from the body-mind-sense complex, emphasizing its three fundamental characteristics:  (1) eternal (nityam) — not subject to birth or death, existing beyond time and the cycle of creation/destruction;  (2) unchanging (nirvikāra) — …

In this deeply integrative and practically transformative class on Dhyāna Yoga, Acharya Tadany presented samādhi as having a dual nature:  (1) a profound state of mental tranquility achieved through deliberate spiritual practice — characterized by conscious withdrawal from worldly roles and identities (parent, professional, friend), detachment from external positions and titles, and creation of inner space free from constant demands, …

Yet the Gītā whispers something profoundly radical, Stop the imaginary climbing, and Start knowing your true nature because the sacred was never waiting at the end of time The Bhagavad Gita is not a ladder placed between earth and heaven, inviting you to climb toward some distant divinity. The Gita is a luminous, powerful and uncompromising mirror revealing that what …

In this illuminating class, Acharya Tadany stressed the importance of precise spiritual language to avoid confusion (e.g., “consciousness,” “awareness,” “empathy” carry different meanings across people), so he bridged these powers to the central teaching of ātmā: the eternal, unchanging consciousness that exists beyond the body, pervading and enlivening it without being limited by or identified with it — illustrated by …

In this deeply practical and psychologically penetrating class on karma yoga, Acharya Tadany illuminated Krishna’s core teaching that action (karma) itself is not the source of suffering — our attachment to uncertain outcomes is — and that true mental freedom arises not from avoiding action but from understanding its true nature. That is to say, we have complete control over …

So, today, act with clarity,Love without attachment,And serve without expectation. At the dawn of purpose, when the heart hesitates between doing and being,A quiet voice within whispers:“Act, but do not cling. Work, but do not weave chains with your work.” The mind desires results,But wisdom smiles, knowing that the result was never yours,For even the doer is but an instrumentIn …

In this precise and foundational class on Dhyāna Yoga, Acharya Tadany introduced Vedāntic meditation as taught in the Bhagavad Gītā — a systematic practice of maintaining a continuous flow of similar thoughts (sajātīya pratyaya pravāhaḥ or eka-rūpa vṛtti pravāhaḥ) exclusively focused on the nature of ātman (Self), such as its consciousness (ātma-caitanya), essential nature (svarūpa), eternality (anitya), and other attributes …

In this foundational and profoundly liberating class, Acharya Tadany identified self-ignorance (ātmā ajñāna) — not knowing one’s true nature as pure consciousness (ātmā) — as the root cause of all human suffering, confusion, grief, and problems, emphasizing that the Bhagavad Gītā’s central, unifying theme is self-knowledge (ātmā vidyā), a direct revelation rather than mystical tales.  Acharya Tadany explained that supporting …

In this deeply practical and liberating continuation on varṇadharma, Acharya Tadany outlined the Vedic principles of career and profession selection through the three key determinants jāti (birth/lineage, predetermined and immutable, providing cultural starting point but no spiritual weight),  guṇa (inherent qualities/talents/temperament, fully malleable through effort and offering true choice),  and karma (actions/profession/duties, partially chosen but constrained by circumstances)  highlighting two …

In this profound and demystifying class on Dhyāna Yoga, Acharya Tadany presented samādhi not as a mystical or unattainable state but as a natural human faculty — the innate capacity for complete absorption — that every person already possesses (evident in children’s total focus during play) and can cultivate through disciplined practice toward realizing one’s true nature as witness consciousness …
