Radio host: And you know, like… we were talking about some of the stuff, reading your book- the autobiography. Very very good book. If anyone has not got it, you need to go on to the website. It is Dhyanapeetam.org and the book is called the “Formless in form” and it is a pictorial biography of Swamiji. And Swamiji is very big with meditation and healing through meditation and we are going to talk a little about that but I want to know first, how I know, at the age of 17 You did a lot of walking for right across Bharat. How many miles was that? How many years was that?

Swamiji: Totally it is a nine years and thousands of miles. It’s not that continuously I walked, I walked to some place and stay the nights in the graveyards or under the tree or under some…. near the forests and again next day I get up and get ready and again walk. It’s like a wandering in search of Enlightened Master, to get a right spiritual guide, to get a right spiritual Master I was searching from practically, from village to village where I, if I will hear about anybody as an Enlightened Master or a spiritual person, I try to go near and live with him. So try to learn something from him. Just like that, the search continued years, years together and it's a beautiful life. In a way, now when I look back, people think that it’s a very hard thing but it is not a hard life. It was more like a joy. It was more adventurous: walking without bothering about the tomorrow or not knowing from where I will get the next meal and touching no money and just living with the nature. That has got its own joy or ecstasy in it.

Radio host: And I think that's where You got….

Swamiji: Knowledge and wisdom. That is a beautiful saying by western philosopher-“The man who travels more knows more.” So....

Radio host: That's how you got to know more but again You got Enlightened after the trip?

Swamiji: Yes, after the trip. It is a intense tapas. Finally the final experience or the ultimate Consciousness happened. Flowering of Consciousness happened in January 2000. It is after the wandering, the Enlightenment happened. Of course, after the Enlightenment, I stayed in one place for more than nine months to settle inside the body, to settle from that experience.

Radio host: Very nice. Again, for a person who read the book, it says that You were born at 12:32 January 1st 1978 and again the mind that, that You have given us and the teachings I have heard so many people talking about. What we will do, at the top of the hour, we will take a break at 3 o'clock. I have about a minute left and then, when we come back after the break, we are going to talk about meditation and healing through meditation, You know, which has touched a lot of people, a lot of people around the world, not only in Bharat. Okay and then we are going to talk about why You are in Oklahoma, okay?

Radio host: Again, you are listening to the regional show right here and XXXX and we are very, very blessed to have Sri Nithyananda Swamiji here with us and again if you are out there and someone wants to know more about meditation, just pickup the phone call and tell them to tune on in because when we come back after theXXXX hour break, we will….Swami will enlighten us along that line. I’m going to be right back.
