Tattva Bodha 5

In this profound and clarifying class, Acharya Tadany addressed key questions about the subtle mechanics of death and the nature of Vedāntic knowledge while completing the overview of the 11 subdivisions of the material aspect (anātmā), emphasizing that udāna prāṇa (the upward-moving vital energy) is the specific force described in the Vedas as responsible for detaching the subtle body (sūkṣma …

In this expansive and foundational class, Acharya Tadany continued the detailed mapping of the material aspect (anātmā) by exploring the prāṇamaya kośa (physiological/vital sheath) and manomaya kośa (psychological/emotional sheath), explaining how the five vital energies (pañca prāṇa: prāṇa, apāna, vyāna, samāna, udāna) and five organs of action (karmendriyāṇi) together form the prāṇamaya kośa, channeling kriyā śaktiḥ (power of action) through …

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 …

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 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 …

Acharya Tadany. Acharya Tadany finally closed the terrifying chapter on kāraṇa śarīram with its fourth and deadliest feature:  anirvācya anādi avidyā rūpam, a beginningless, indescribable, neither-real-nor-unreal self-ignorance that is the sole cause of every rebirth.  Using the perfect analogy of darkness (experienced yet vanishing without trace when light appears), he showed that this ignorance is exactly like darkness: it has …

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

Acharya Tadany. In today’s class we reached the deepest and most mind-bending layer of Vedānta: the Kāraṇa śarīram or causal body The invisible, unmanifest “seed” that contains the entire potential of both your physical and subtle bodies before the universe even began and after it ends.  Using the beautiful mango-seed analogy, Acharya Tadany showed that just as the whole tree …

Acharya Tadany In this pivotal class, Acharya Tadany presented the human body as a franchise of the Cosmic Government. The physical organs (golakam) are merely the hardware, while the real functioning powers (indriyam and prāṇa) are leased to us by specific devatās acting as departmental ministers under the ultimate administrator, Īśvara.  The 17 subtle instruments (5 jñānendriyāṇi, 5 karmendriyāṇi, 5 …
