Profound Timeless Wisdom: Tattva Bodha Zoom Webinar Series

Tattva Bodha is a prominent text in Advaita Vedanta that has been widely studied and revered for its timeless wisdom. The term “Tattva Bodha” literally means “knowledge of reality” and it is considered to be one of the most important texts of Vedanta that helps in understanding the nature of the Self, the world, and the ultimate reality.

The Advaita Vedanta philosophy is based on the fundamental principle of non-dualism, which states that the ultimate reality is one without a second. It asserts that the individual self (jiva) and the ultimate reality (Brahman) are not two different entities, but are essentially one and the same. 

Not only is Tattva Bodha a complete manual for liberation, but it also introduces the most crucial terminology and concepts that are essential for a deeper understanding of texts like Bhagavad Gita, Brahma Sutra and Upanishads — should you undertake them in the future.

Therefore in this immersive webinar series, led by Vedic and Sanskrit teacher Andre V. — you will be systematically and carefully guided through the text so your understanding is aligned with it's clarity. Each lesson builds upon the previous until you've grasped it intimately.

After registration, you'll receive the verses PDF document.

Teachings are based on Swami Dayananda's Tattvabodha book, and Swami Tejomayananda's Tattvabodha book, which we highly recommend you get on Amazon.

  1. Hi Andre,
    I am reaching out to you regarding self-realization. I came across your website and wanted to chat after reading your bio. I tried signing up for your meet-up, but it’s now filled. I wanted to sign up because I wanted to talk to you specifically about the experiential knowledge of Samadi from your perspective.
    I woke up almost 5-years ago without prior knowledge of Vedanta, spirituality, Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, etc. Because of this awakening, I enjoy speaking of the wisdom within any facet. Because of this perspective shift, I love to transcribe anything, including the Upanishads, Buddhist texts, and anything that points to nature as nature. I hear there are more like myself waking up without prior knowledge of awakenings, but I have yet to meet any. I have been looking but have yet to meet anyone with experiential knowing and insight. I enjoy talking about what leads up to surrender, detachment of objects, which includes the universe, the different qualities of detachment, how these separations affect time and emptiness both inside and outside of time, dimensional fullness, and of course, the re-embodiment of time itself. In addition, I can easily spot where others need help understanding Vedanta and where spiritual bypassing occurs. It’s an exciting conversation about how knowledge affects not only surrender but detachment from the polarities of time.
    Interestingly, the first book I bought was James Swartz’s Essence of Enlightenment. I thought you may be familiar with the book because you mentioned him in your bio.
    If you’re interested in chatting, please sync up.
    All the best, Shawn Barnicle.
