In this philosophically intense class on verse 108 and the nature of māyā, Acharya Tadany continued the exploration of kāraṇa śarīram (causal body) – the third and final aspect of anātmā (non-self) in the śarīra-trayam — by detailing its four essential names:  avyaktam (unmanifest, seed form),  śaktiḥ (power, dependent potential to manifest the universe),  avidyā (that which lacks independent existence, …

In this philosophically rich class on verse 108, Acharya Tadany introduced the concept of māyā as the third name of kāraṇa śarīram (causal body), describing it as kārya anumeyā — that which is never directly perceptible and can only be inferred through scripture-based reasoning (śāstra pramāṇa), because in the kāraṇa avasthā (causal/unmanifest state) the entire manifestation is resolved, including the …

In this foundational class on the causal body (kāraṇa śarīraṁ), Acharya Tadany completed the exposition of the three bodies (śarīra-trayam) by introducing kāraṇa śarīraṁ (verses 108–123) as the unmanifest, beginningless 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 …

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 …

Acharya Tadany. In this mind-bending class, Acharya Tadany used the classic pot-space analogy to reveal the single cause of all suffering, I.e., the subtle body (sūkṣma śarīraṁ) acts like a clay pot that apparently “contains” unlimited consciousness, instantly creating the false individual (jīva) who believes “I am limited, I suffer, I need things.”  In waking and dream the pot is …

Acharya Tadany The concept of Kāraṇa Śarīram reveals that our existence is not limited to our current physical or subtle bodies but extends to an unmanifest causal form that persists through cosmic cycles. (Acharya Tadany) Tattva-Bodha_Class-23_AI-Generated-Summary_Acharya-Tadany
