In my spiritual journey, after 7 years of dabbling with Vedanta on and off, the best thing that happened was I came across Bhagavaan Ramana’s teachings. Then going through Bhagvaan’s literature myself for a few months, the best thing that happened was coming across Tom. Like Bhagvaan’s teachings represent the best of Advaita Vedanta recast in a much more practical and direct manner, Tom takes the finest of Bhagvaan’s literature and focuses on the most essential points which helps drive them through our thick layer of mental conditionings to effect faster spiritual progress. He avoids going into lengthy philosophical discussions about Bhagvaan’s verses which might satisfy a scholar but might make no dent in Maya’s stronghold on our minds.

He meets us at whichever stage we are in our spiritual journey rather than speaking from a high podium. He will work on our personality issues too (in 1:1s) very effectively which helps free up the mental energy to focus on our sadhana.

His Satsangs have a powerful effect of calming the mind and driving home the simple but profound teachings of “turning within” and surrendering to Bhagvaan. After his satsangs, we walk away with increased clarity about the path, renewed confidence in our ability to abide as the Self and that liberation is possible in this very life.

I love Tom’s guided meditations Youtube videos (my favorite:Turn Within & Be Still) with carefully chosen verses from Guru Vachaka Kovai representing Bhagavan’s core teachings. The conviction with which Tom reads them significantly enhances the chances that the verses might trigger a real intuition in you; all the chosen verses packed with power hence even if a single verse sticks with you, it will go a long way in your spiritual journey.

I strongly recommend folks to go through “Introductory articles” on tomdas.com and Michael Langford books in his recommended reading list – they will make a profound impact on you. Team of Bhagvaan & Tom has really made the path to liberation accessible for me and increased my conviction in it – I will always remain grateful to them.
