I welcome you all with my love and respects. Today’s satsang subject is ‘Sleeping your way to enlightenment’. As you are all aware we are continuing on siddha tradition. In the siddha tradition series, the states of consciousness; today you will understand the different states of sleep state; the internal different states in sleep state.
First, in the deep sleep state, the first state is, you see we are analyzing and understanding the various states in sleep state; in the deep sleep, in the sleep, how you go through various ups and downs and various states. Understanding and experiencing and having clarity about those states will really liberate you and help you towards enlightenment. Another one important thing, you don’t need to waste much of your waking time to work for enlightenment. Just your sleeping time can be used for enlightenment and waking time you can use it to create the outer world. Whatever world you are in, you can achieve great things in that world. The waking state you are in this world so spend time for this. In the deep sleep state you are in different world; use that time for enlightenment. After all anything you achieve in the sleep state is not going to be any outer world things which you try to achieve in the sleep state is impossible. So let us use that state to become enlightened.
Sleeping your way to enlightenment will really make your enlightenment quick, fast and of course easy. So the first step, the first understanding; sleepful waking, sushupti jagra, sushupti jagrat; sleepful waking state. I will give you the exact original definition of this sleepful waking state in Tamil first. I'll exactly give you the definition from the siddha tradition. Urangi yadanda piraga anda orakkattin sugamudalana tanmigal ivvidamena perarikkayeduthiraikum nilai. After you wake up from sleep the state of explaining the pleasure and qualities and nature of sleep to others after waking from sleep; After waking up from sleep if you are able to explain the state, the pleasure, the experience of that sleep state; the state in which you were, is sleepful waking state; sushupti jagrat.
Sometime early morning you will wake up and you will really be able to feel you slept completely, deeply. Whole body will have that peace. Especially whoever had energy darshan yesterday night, you can understand today morning how the body is. Not only whoever had energy darshan, even if you have seen what is going on here, you would have had that sleepful waking state. It’s a powerful experience; powerful state. This sleepful waking state is responsible for the rejuvenation of your body, rebuilding of your muscles. If you have this state, physically your muscles will be everyday rejuvenated. I tell you, this state will avoid aging of that day. One night if you spend in sleepful waking state, that day will not make you age. So how many nights you spend in sleepful waking state that many days you don’t need to bother about aging. Your organs will not age and same way if you had an intense experience of energy darshan, at least one full year your organs does not age.
If you had, if you have been a divya shariri, means the people who are sitting around me during the energy darshan helping guiding all the participants to receive energy darshan, those people are only called as divya shariris. Or I can say they are getting trained to become divya shariris; means it’s like a when a sun is shining if you keep ten mirror all the ten are properly focused on sun, towards sun. That whole area that area between the ten mirror will shine not only because of sun; the ten reflections. So this divya shariris are like a mirror they act like a mirror so that that whole area intensely radiates energy. That is why people who come to have energy darshan they literally enter my own physical body. Please understand it’s like me having an extended huge physical body. In that very intense energy field they enter and have the energy darshan and go. If you have been a divya shariri, I can say at least, especially with the experience, intensely working on the body not only you don’t age, you grow younger. The growing younger happens when you become divyashariri and the grace, joy, beauty, starts radiating when you are divya shariri.
Next state; sushupti swapna; sleepful dreaming state. The definition urangi yidanda piraganda orakathintanmai yinnadenatuundriyin tondraamalu irakkum ayyiruvunilai. A doubtful state about determining the nature and qualities of sleep after you wake up. After you wake up if you are not able to be clearly determining, if you are doubtful, that state, that nature, you are not able to tell very clearly the nature and qualities of sleep; that state is what we call sleepful dreaming; sushupti swapna. You will wake up but you will not be able to tell exactly what has happened, how you felt, what was happening in that sleeping state. You will not be able to define, you will not be able to make a clear understanding inside you. You will not be able to verbalize it properly outside you. That is what is this state; the sleepful dreaming state; means disturbed sleep.
Sometime if you are highly stressed worried about your business or relationship or something, next day morning when you wake up you do not know what has happened in your sleeping state you will only feel body pain. That state only is this sleepful dreaming. It’s like a abusing your body and sleep state. If you continue to be in this state every night, you will age quickly. That is why you plan to take these sleeping pills and all that. Sleeping pills are just escape from this state. But unfortunately sleeping pills will not be able to give you permanent solution. It can give you solution for one or two days; not more than that. Stressed people go through this state. I can say this state is what I call hell.
People ask me Swamiji; yesterday somebody asked me in energy darshan. Swamiji so much they abused you and disturbed you. Why don’t you curse them and put them in hell. I tell them, Arey I don’t need to curse. I don’t need to curse. A small story; One cunning crooked thief was sitting on a tree. In that way one sadhu was going very quiet way he was just walking. This fellow could not keep quiet; this thief. He threw a stone on that sadhu. That sadhu just looked up, by his nature he is such a soft, happy, graceful person. He just looked up, looked at the thief and he felt maybe that fellow is mentally sick or mentally having some pains and agony that is why he is throwing stones at everybody. So he raised his hand and said let you be blessed let you be healed, so that you will not do this kind of bad things. He thought mentally and just blessed and went away. This thief thought O God! If you throw stones at people, I think in this area people bless you. He mistook. The funny thing is, next one king came on the same route. This fool with his same understanding he threw a stone on king also. What would have happened? Just king cut his head that’s all; cut the thief’s head.
So understand, see what that sadhu had he gave back. He had only blessings and healing. He gave that back; he gave that. What that thief had, he gave that. What the thief had, thief had a cunning, arrogance, violent, nature; he threw stone. That sadhu had silent, beautiful, blissful, happy, healing mood. So he healed. But that thief’s nature is not going to keep quiet, so naturally he will attract what he wants; what he is worthy of. So naturally he will go around throw stones continuously and he will attract his own destruction. We don’t need to curse; we don’t need to do anything. So understand that’s the answer yesterday I gave in a very short way.
So people who harass, abuse, disturb others, who carry so much vengeance, stress inside them, will every day suffer with this state of sushupti swapna; means sleepful dreaming. That is what is hell; actually. That is hell. It will be so stressful, so tiring, they will quickly age. The aging will be very quick. All their organs will become tired. Muscles will lose power, muscles will lose strength and their whole senses will lose its power. And naturally getting more and more into the worst hell, disturbed health, disease, mental disorder, all this will start happening in them.
Any how the next is sleepful sleeping, sushupti sushupti, sushupta sushupti; sleepful sleeping urangiyalanda perugu urrakkatin sugam muchilum aranda poividum nilai. The state in which the nature and pleasure of sleep is totally forgotten after waking. After waking, completely what has happened in the sleep state is forgotten. You see if you remember completely this sleepful waking; its sleepful waking, if you remember bit and doubtful, not clear about that sleeping state; its sleepful dreaming. If you have completely forgotten; it is sleepful sleep. Sleepful sleep is ok. I can say it is neither wrong nor right. It is like a stay order; stagnant. Ok that’s all. Neither you need to encourage nor you need to discourage. This is what is actually induced by sleeping pill. The earlier state is a disorder; when you add sleeping pills this is the state you will experience, but it is not a permanent solution.
Next is sushupta turiya; sleepful fourth state. This is the state exactly people who have been a divya shariri yesterday will be experiencing yesterday whole night. That is why still I can see that hangover is there. Sushupta turiya; sleepful fourth state urangiyadinda piragu urakkatin tanmai agnanavishayamendrum adarka sakshiyana atmave satyamendrum thirindugollum nilai. State of understanding the nature of sleep is ignorance after waking from sleep and realizing that the atman is the truth. Please understand sometime when you wake up early morning you know thoroughly whole night you were aware. You are not tired there was no thoughts, there is no tiredness; but you were aware. You have not slept at all. Whole night you know you were awake. This is the state; sleepful fourth state.
If you were in energy field and go and sleep; you will be in this state only. Early morning when you wake up, three things; one, no body pain, fresh, alive you will feel. Second, no thoughts about the sleep; you wouldn’t have had any thought. Third, you wouldn’t have slept. It’s like a fully wake; fully you have been awake. If this three, if you feel morning, you have been in the state of sleepful fourth state. How many feel this three today morning? Then those of you have been in that sleepful fourth state; no body pain, no thoughts or dreams in the sleep, third, you just know you have been awake whole night; sleepful fourth state. This is the state; if you have been in this state, not only you will not be aging you will be anti aging; you will be growing younger.
Please understand, sleepful waking will stop aging, sleepful dreaming will make you quickly age. If you have spent one day, chronologically three four days of effect will be there on your organs; quickly aging. Sleepful sleeping will neither age nor anti age. It will just be like a regular flow. If you passed one day, you passed one day; that’s all. In the sleepful fourth state, not only you will not be aging you will be anti aging; growing younger. This is what the sidddhas call Tungaamartungi chugam peruvadai kaalam; sleeping without sleeping and having the pleasure; when it will happen to me O Lord!
The understanding technical knowledge about this four state is enough for now. After I finish tomorrow the next states of turiya, four states of fourth state, I will give you techniques, specific techniques, methods, to work on each state. If it needs to be increased increasing, if it needs to be decreased decreasing, if it needs to be just neglected neglecting. I will give you techniques; understanding, techniques and medicine; mani mantra aushada.
Let you all achieve, experience, live, express and radiate the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you.
Siddha tradition 13 'Turiya' - Awareness - The Fourth State

Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. Today’s subject for satsang is ‘Turiya - the fourth state of consciousness’. Dreaming, deep sleep, fourth means the state of awareness, fifth turiyateeta the state of consciousness. Because due to lack of words, I myself coin a new word, gift it to the world. Fourth state turiya I translate as awareness. Fifth state turiyateeta, I translate as consciousness.
Please understand in these five states, only the last two states are directly life based. All other three states are dilutions of life. For example waking state is the diluted version of life. Of course dream state is completely opposite to life. The deep sleep also again completely away from life. Deep sleep is away from life, dream state is opposite to life. Understand the difference. So the fourth state awareness, fifth state consciousness; these two are life based states. All other states are diluted, away and opposite to the life. Dream is completely opposite to the life.
I have a story about dream. After she woke up, a woman told her husband I had a dream that you gave me the most beautiful diamond necklace. What do you think it means? Husband said with a big smile, wow you will know it tonight. That night the man came home with a small package and gave it to his wife. Delighted, surprised, with a great excitement she opened it to find a book titled ‘The meaning of dreams’. Dream is opposite to life. Sleep is away from life.
Today we will enter and work on the state of awareness, the fourth state; turiya. Let’s understand the various expressions, the dimensions of turiya. The first state in the turiya, Turiya is classified into four. The first state is turiya jagrat; means awareness waking state. The definition is; in the state of turiya, the activity of creation or appearance of the world that happens in waking state, happens; wow. In awareness state this world also will be seen, you will be able to have both; you will be pure awareness and you will be able to see; exactly the state in which the divya shariris were yesterday.
See if you have seen the energy darshan, observed, you would have seen those divya shariris, people who were sitting next to me to take care of you, you all, they will be shaking their body so wildly, uncontrollably. But when I gave the needle and thread they just put the thread into the needle without even thinking twice. The brahmachari who put the thread into the needle he has a power of 6.5. Without power he can’t even recognize me, without glass he can’t even recognize me, straight away putting the, he asked me should I wear the glass I said no, do it. Straight away put the thread into the needle.
Means understand it is not that they are not under their control, they are completely under their control but what they feel as they, center, please understand in normal time what they feel as they, is the body. Now when they are in that divya sharira energy field, the turiya jagrat awareness waking state, the body becomes not what they feel as they, it becomes centre of what they feel as they. Understand there is a big difference. What they feel as they becomes more than the body, so body just becomes the center; that is why just caught in the wave of bliss.
The difference between divya shariri and hypnotism is too big. Understand three difference; one, divya shariris are in bliss. Ask them how it feels. They say the whole area is just filled with honey, sweet Swamiji, taste. Understand only you are given honey they are not given honey. Of course they are not physically given but the energy makes them experience the honey. They are not given any honey but they feel such an intense sweetness and no thought. Third, tremendous awareness, they are able to put just without, see one side the whole body rotates rolls on the ground. I really felt when I built this stage this stage will be sufficient. Actually that is the reason I gave this cut. This cut is specially gave for the divya shariris. Yesterday I saw I have to make the whole hall as the stage.
This is what I have heard; rolling on the ground and crying, when some relatives close friends die, people roll on the ground and cry. And same way I have heard in the history of Chaitanya, story of Chaitanya, people roll on the ground in ecstasy. I have heard even in Ramakrishna’s life when they get into that ecstasy they roll on the ground. Now I am seeing not one or two, just hundreds rolling. Their whole body is rolling in that ecstasy; but the tremendous awareness; they just hold the needle put the thread. That’s the scale, that’s the scale to measure. That is why yesterday I gave the needle and thread. If you have seen some three four brahmacharis and brahmacharinis, I said come on put the thread into the needle. Not single guy tried second time. The first time itself they put. Turiya jagrat, they are in high awareness; the expanded consciousness. That is why so much of joy and ecstasy.
Chaitanya sings very beautifully. When people experience this ecstasy only then they are ready for sanyas; means without anything from outside they can constantly be in that joy and ecstasy; just the remembrance. I can see even now just the remembrance is enough in them; the energy is lifted. All the five senses reaches its peak excitement. Smarana matra; just by the remembrance if your senses reaches its peak, there is no marana, you don’t have death. Smarana matra; just by the remembrance of the Master or God, if your senses all reaches its peak ecstasy, there is no marana, there is no death.
Aware waking state; this is not hypnotism. Understand hypnotism is putting them into the dullness. Here putting them into awareness; consciousness; high state. If somebody is hypnotized continuously again and again, he will not be able to grow spiritually and he will not be able to maintain his personal life pure, intelligent understanding. But if they are put into the high consciousness again and again they will become more aware, intelligent and experienced and joyful, spiritual, more centered. A hypnotized person can never put a thread into needle so easily. Either he has to be completely out of the state and put it or he can’t. Maybe sometime as a instruction of the hypnotism in the hypnotised mood, they will be able to do; not as a free will.
Here these guys are in that state, exact in the high ecstasy they just put the thread, then again they are there. There is not even again, they are there in that same state and with the awareness they are able to do anything and express the aware wakeful state. They are in the state of awareness, high intense awareness, but the created, the creation, the world, appearance of the world, happens to them. They will be able to see it.
The next state; aware dreaming turiya swapna, aware dreaming. In the state of awareness, the appearance or the creation of the world may, may not appear. Understand aware dreaming state. In this state sometime this world may appear but not like a world suddenly it will disappear and suddenly again it will appear. You will see very clearly it is melting down. It just like a wave happens and disappears; melting down.
Please understand, I was trying, I was taking few minutes to translate exactly what I was feeling just now; because just now I went into the state and came out. I can say not even came out, trying to translate that into the word. How it feels you know, it feels like the whole thing is made out of a kind of a wax. And the consciousness which sees that wax is a sun. If there is a little cloud the wax is not melting; it is seen. If that cloud moves little bit that wax is melting and just becoming one and the same. If there is a cloud I can see individual, separate, separate, separate, with a clear boundary, sitting. If that cloud moves little bit, immediately I can say that boundaries are all merging and everything is melting. I don’t know how you will understand. Alright, let it be on record. Later on, maybe in the future people will maybe able to understand. This is what exactly I felt just now and I don’t know how to comment on it. I only translated and verbalized it.
Turiya sushupti, awareful sleeping, awareful sleeping, O God, State of no thoughts in the awareness state. Sometime during unclutching, you experience this. In ananda gandha you experience this. No thought, completely no thought; you are there just like that. The very identity about you disappears. The very idea about you disappears whether you are a body or a mind or a male or a female; the very idea about you disappears. The very idea about you itself is an idea. Understand the very idea you carry about you is a one more idea. So when that melts down and disappears, and that is not there at all, the state you experience is turiya sushupti; awareness sleeping. Actually after this state, no return; this is the state of non return zone. Once you experience this state, you don’t come back to normal state. The never ever the ignorance can engulf you. Never ever it can catch you anymore. This is one of the highest zones. But still there are some highest zones. This is one of the highest zones. Only if you unclutch, you will be able to experience this state of awareness sleeping.
The next state; turiya turiya awareness awareful; awareful awareness; that expansive cosmic consciousness realizing its innate nature remains as I am that. The expansive cosmic consciousness realizing the expansive cosmic consciousness and its innate nature and being me as it is. I can say this is what I call living enlightenment. Realizing that expansive consciousness, cosmic consciousness is me, we and be in that state.
So today let you have the technical knowledge about this four states of fourth state; four states of awareness. Then I'll continue to explain techniques, herbs, right understanding to awaken the right states in your system in next sessions. Let you all achieve, experience, live, express and radiate the eternal bliss, Nithyananda.
Thank you.
Siddha tradition 14 Alter Your State Of Consciousness

I welcome you all with my love and respects. Today’s subject for satsang is ‘Alter your state of consciousness’. As you may be all aware I am continuing on siddha tradition consciousness series; Alter you state of consciousness. Till yesterday I explained all the different four states of consciousness happening inside different four states of consciousness. Waking, dreaming, sleeping, awareness and consciousness; these are five state. In the first four there are internal four states happening. So we studied about all the internal changes in the first four states. Today I’ll express few words on altering the state of consciousness.
Why? Why do we need to alter? Why not just let go? Ultimately if you let go whatever is happening, you don’t need to alter; you will be in pure consciousness, the highest consciousness. Because constantly you alter the highest possibility and put yourself into the lower levels, ordinary consciousness, I need to help you to raise yourself back again and again to the highest state of consciousness. Alter the state of consciousness just to alter your physical, mental, social and spiritual understandings, right eternal understandings about the world, God, society, nature and yourself. Please understand the self, humanity, human society, world means the nature and God the ultimate. Right understanding about all this four jeeva, eshwara, jagat and society; jeeva means individual self, eshwara means God, jagat means the world and human society. Right understanding about this four avoids, takes away all kinds of sufferings. You will know in which line you need to work.
Yesterday somebody came to me in the sarva darshan. He is saying that in my house some bhoota, ghost is there. It is dropping sand, small, small stones in the house. I just looked into him and I saw there is no negative energy and there is no negative energy in the house also. Then I asked him only two three questions. Is your house made out of the tiles, the village tiles, tiled roof and mud walls? He said yes. Do you have any stone quarry, blasting quarry around your area? He said yes. That is the ghost; go and stop that. Understand when there is a bomb blast happening a quarry blast happening continuously and the house is made out of sand and ordinary stone tiles, naturally small drops will fall. I said there is no ghost in your house.
See the right understanding, if he is thinking it is a ghost and constantly going around to all the people who work with ghosts and drive ghosts, all kinds of black magic practices, he will only be wasting money. Instead he can get two masons and plaster that wall; job is done. So the right understanding where the problem is, happens to you when you have right understanding about all the four. See; attend the problems related to spiritual things spiritually. Attend the problems related to social things socially. Attend the problems related to, things related to legal, legally. Attend the problems related to money economically. Don’t mix. One of our major problems is we go on mixing. Simple problems of the outer world, we mix it and start looking through the magnifying glass along with our spiritual problem and make the whole thing as a spiritual problem.
Actually it is nothing more than hiring two masons and plastering the wall. And that poor guy he went, I told him go and do that he was shocked. He said yes now I understand. I said collect all the stones and mud sand falls in your house and see it is the same quality of the roof and the wall. He said yes Swamiji now I remember. That’s all; the whole bhoota is reduced to just non plastering of the wall and the blast which is going on in the quarry. So it is simple problem.
Having right understanding about this four different components; understanding about the self, understanding about the world, understanding about the humanity, understanding about the God. I tell you many time your simple problem of having low mood for no reason; it is because of you don’t have right understanding about the self. But unfortunately you are not able to understand that problem is internal and you start connecting all kinds of reason from external world and confuse it, mess it, miss it and trapped into bigger and deeper problems. I am telling you, when you have a low mood for no reason understand it is the quality nature of me. I do not need to, will not, give any reason. I will not associate any reason with that low mood. All we need to do is go through that low mood with acceptance mood so that it becomes peace; silence in you.
Know how to play with different states of consciousness and awareness you experience. Know how to live with different modes and operations happening in you. Know the truth so that you handle it properly, rightly with right understanding. Altering the state of consciousness helps you to find right problem and right solution. Not finding the right problem is the major problem. If you have something, some attack done externally, don’t blame yourself internally. Oh I have this kind of a mental setup, body that is why this problem. No! The moment you start blaming your body and mind, you are already divided. When you have the external attacks, stand together. That is not the time to judge yourself. No guilt, no depression, no low mood. Finish that outside problem then sit and judge; analyze, to improve yourself so that you don’t get into the same problem again.
So standing together during the external crisis will happen to you only when you have the right internal understanding. When you have a disease if you start criticizing yourself, because of this mental set up only I am having this disease, no!! That is no going to work. Fight with the disease and see that you don’t create that once more. Alter the mental state just for that; but no time to judge, no time to suffer with guilt. So altering the states of consciousness will make you understand right problem and will give you clarity about right solution. That is the main purpose of altering the state of consciousness so that you understand the spiritual problem spiritually, social problem socially, economical problems economically and physical problems physically.
Today carry only this one understanding; altering the state of consciousness helps you to find the right problem and right solution, so you are inspired to alter the state of consciousness. It can be done simply just by an understanding. When you have a different mood, bring right understandings; mani. Please understand there are three ways to alter the state of consciousness; mani mantra aushada. Mani means right understanding, mantra means right technique, aushada means right medicine, right herbs. Herb you may not get always 24 hours. Technique also you may not have time or atmosphere to do all the time 24 hours. But mani, right understanding if you store it inside, always you can just take it out and use it.
Understand the right understanding, mani, is the first step to alter the state of consciousness. Have right understandings about these states of consciousness and bring it up whenever you need and raise the state of consciousness. Today carry only this one understanding; contemplate on it. I will elaborate on different states in the coming sessions.
I bless you all. Let you all achieve, experience, live, express and radiate the eternal bliss, Nithyananda.
Thank you.

I welcome you all with my love and respects. I offer my humble pranams, respects and request to be here with their presence all the great siddhas. Today I am going to explain some of the basic, very root principles and truths of siddha tradition. Subject for today’s satsang is ‘Awaken to the higher states of consciousness’. I will give you a table based on siddha tradition; how the different states of consciousness, overlaps. Give you a clear technical knowledge then you can understand and raise yourself to the higher states of consciousness.
See first the five states; waking, dreaming, sleeping, awareness and consciousness. These are the five states; jagrat, swapna, sushupti, turiya, turiyateeta. These are the traditional Tamil words for the five states, of course Sanskrit words. The siddha tradition uses basically the Tamil and Sanskrit language. Same way; waking, dreaming, sleeping, awareness, consciousness, five states; how these five states overlap each other and create 25 states; Waking waking and waking dreaming and waking sleeping, waking awareness, waking consciousness. Then comes dreaming waking, dreaming dreaming, dreaming sleeping, dreaming awareness, dreaming consciousness; then comes sleeping waking, sleeping dreaming, sleeping sleeping, sleeping awareness and sleeping consciousness; then comes awareness waking, awareness dreaming, awareness sleeping, awareness awareness and awareness consciousness; then comes conscious waking, conscious dreaming, conscious sleeping, conscious awareness and conscious consciousness.
Actually if you understand this one table you can become enlightened now. Actually if you don’t become enlightened, actually this table and all is almost like a threat. Better get enlightened otherwise you need to understand all this. Wakeful waking, I have explained technically all these states very clearly already in the last few sessions. I will just give a brief definition; that’s all. Practically the very names, defines, that is the way I have given the titles. I have simplified; the very name itself will explain the state of consciousness; state of awareness. If you go through the earlier satsangs once more you will have the complete definition about each state.
Now I am going to only describe, spend time only in describing the states which should be encouraged and states which should be discouraged in you. Then I will explain in the next sessions, techniques to increase the states which needs to be increased and encouraged, techniques to decrease the states which needs to be decreased and discouraged. The states which I am marking with green are supposed to be encouraged. The waking waking, dream waking, the sleep waking, awareness waking, conscious waking; these all can be encouraged. And waking dreaming, dreaming dreaming; these are supposed to be discouraged.
Actually only 6 stages are supposed to be discouraged in 25 stages, but unfortunately a normal human being spends 90% of his time only in these 6 stages. You have 25 options; you have 25 shops to go. In that 25, 6 should be discouraged. Other than 6 all 19 can be encouraged. So today I will speak on the stages of consciousness which needs to be discouraged; which needs to be avoided. Tomorrow I will speak on which needs to be encouraged. Then I will give you the techniques and process.
Waking dreaming; which, in which most of the people are usually when the discourses and sessions are conducted; No really human beings, modern day human beings have lost the ability to sit and be. Please understand waking dreaming which makes you actually; what you eat you become that, same way whatever you take in that becomes you. In Bharatn system, vedic gurukul system, we had a very dynamic way of teaching. All the teachings were live, practice based, very less theory. If ten minutes a master gives a concept, immediately he will start practicing it. Laboratory and theory classes were not two places. Stop the system where the laboratory and theory classes are two different places. No. If it is two different places the teacher and student both will have boredom or tiredness. Oh I have to go from here to there and learn. No. It should be both in one same hall. Whole thing should be experience based, practical based, practice based.
I can tell you from my own experience, I have studied this diploma mechanical engineering. The study was done in such a way, anyhow after that I left and became, what to say that, took up my mission of wandering, meditating, practicing enlightenment and all that. After seven years, one devotee took me to his workshop for blessing. I went to his factory. The moment I entered the factory they showed me a machine. Suddenly I, Oh God! Somewhere I have seen this machine. I asked the name of the machine. They said it’s called lathe Swamiji. I said O God! I worked with this machine three years in mechanical engineering. At least two full year; second year and third year. First time in seven years I am remembering that name. In that seven years in my mind that name did not even cross once and my brain is such that anything put inside always is kept alive. Even my brain could not remember for seven years just the word of the name of the machine in which I was working for two years, then what kind of interest has been created about that machine in me? What kind of knowledge has been given to me about that machine? What kind of utility value I have? What an idea I will be having about that machine?
Teaching system of practical and theoretical, separate, separate is the worst system; makes human beings, puts them into the waking dreaming state and dream dreaming. The side effect of the waking dream is dream dreaming and sleeping dreaming. Sleeping dreaming is the, I can say worst state of consciousness which should be avoided completely. And again waking sleeping, dreaming sleeping, sleeping sleeping; all these states are different unaware states. This six should be avoided in the life as much as possible. All the other nineteen should be encouraged as much as possible. About this nineteen we will study in the next session.
I bless you all to achieve, experience, live, express and radiate the eternal bliss, Nithyananda.
Thank you.

I welcome you all with my love and respects. Today’s subject for satsang is ‘God consciousness’. States of consciousness; different states of consciousness - last few days we studied different states of consciousness and the states which need to be entertained and encouraged, the stages which need to be discouraged and reduced, the stages which you need to just ignore; neither encourage nor discourage just ignore. These are the few things we studied. Today we will go into the depth of the last stages. I can say highest possibilities; the conscious waking, conscious dreaming, conscious sleeping, conscious awareness, conscious consciousness; the last column. And the same way the last column; waking consciousness, dreaming consciousness, sleeping consciousness, awareness consciousness, consciousness consciousness.
Please understand waking, dreaming, sleeping, awareness, consciousness; these are the five states. If these five states overlap each other it creates 25 states. In that 25, the last column, the consciousness and consciousness overlapping; except that everything is experienced by the normal human beings. Maybe I will explain in a detailed way so it will be useful for you. All right; understand waking, dreaming, sleeping, awareness, consciousness; waking, dreaming, sleeping, awareness, consciousness. When they overlap each other waking waking, dreaming waking, sleeping waking, awareness waking, conscious waking, waking dreaming in which many of you are now, dreaming dreaming, sleeping dreaming; if you are new just today attending this satsang, I really sincerely recommend you watch one weeks satsangs uploaded in You Tube. You will have complete technical knowledge on each state. I have described very clearly about each state.
These are 25 states. All these red line states should be discouraged. All the green line stages should be encouraged. But there is another one important thing, all the blue line which I am lining now, are not experienced normally before enlightenment, this. All this red line should be discouraged, the green line should be encouraged. But only this 16 are experienced by human body. This five plus four, these nine states are experienced only by an enlightened body. That’s what I call God consciousness. If you just have understanding, insight about these nine states, two thing can be done. One you will be able to identify right master. If you understand this states, this is the state, this can’t be faked; unfakable states. Anything can be faked except these states; 9 states. All these nine are unfakable states. Understanding about these states will give you a very clear understanding about finding a right master.
Second thing falling in tune with him. Third thing you will be able to measure the experiences happens in your space, if you have understanding about this nine states. Because all the experiences happening in your space should be helping you to experience this nine states. Unless this nine states are exactly felt, the experiences you are having may be psychic or psychological. It is not spiritual. To scale and measure master, to scale and master your own spiritual growth, this nine states, understanding about this nine states is important.
Conscious waking; no thought; this is the exact state people experience when they sit as a divya shariri, medium around me during energy darshan. They are conscious, but whatever is seen in the waking state is seen by them even though they are in nirvikalpa but whatever is seen by the world, by you all is also seen by them. They have not lost control. That is why whenever their body rolls on the ground and they, they appear, people who see, for them it feels like they lost control on them self. I tell them, divya shariris; the mediums, to put thread in the needle. You will see without struggling just like that they will put it. It means they have not lost control. Completely things are under their control. This is conscious waking state.
Conscious dreaming; that same state any idea passes by in their inner space, conscious dreaming; conscious dreaming when an enlightened being rests his body it is called conscious dreaming; when an enlightened being is putting his attention on something - conscious awareness. When an enlightened being is in samadhi with himself, it is called conscious consciousness. Understand this nine states, here waking consciousness; again, when you are completely established in enlightenment, when your body becomes completely ripe that’s what I call an incarnation’s body. When all twelve strands of DNA is awakened then whether you are waking, dreaming, sleeping or awareness or consciousness, whatever you may be doing, you will be radiating God. I can say this is all the things happening during the nirvikalpa samadhi. This whole thing happens during sahaja samadhi. This is sahaja samadhi, this is nirvikalpa samadhi. I am just giving you the basic technical understanding.
It’s going above your head don’t worry. Especially Inner Awakening participants, this is just menu card. You are going to eat. So you don’t need to bother too much about menu card. Actually when you go to a new country and see menu card, you don’t pick up based on the taste because you never tasted any food. You just pick up based on the name or some vague understanding, idea or how visually it is presented. That is the way you pick up. That is why you see now again we have the same problem. You know all these states, but now it’s just a menu card. How will you pick up? You have some vague idea. That’s why you need little technical idea. How it may feel like and visually it need to be presented, that is why it is presented visually, so that you can pick up the state. Understand it’s is a menu card. Just in the enlightened state the different state phases you go through. Now all we need to know is simple technical understanding. Maybe in the sessions I will give you more deeper understanding, techniques and method to experience; of course experience itself.
So here I am introducing, please understand this four level, this four level, this sixteen state is experienced by human beings. In that sixteen, this six should be avoided, this nine should be encouraged and the other nine is never experienced by human beings. It is just to give you an understanding. Its like, this nine states understanding will clear lot of your doubts. When you have a spiritual experience, how to find out whether it is just spiritual or just psychological; when you are with the master how to find out he is a completely enlightened being or he has got only one or two powers. These major doubts can be clarified when you understand these states of consciousness.
Because, it’s a very important thing when you choose your master. Once you choose no question of looking back. But for choosing this will really help you. When you have any energy experience, that night if you have a complete conscious sleep, conscious sleep means next day morning you will not feel tired, you wouldn’t have dreamed you wouldn’t have slept. You will remember only you have been completely aware. You were completely aware but there was no thoughts, no dreams and morning no tiredness. You are fresh and alive. This is what I call sleeping consciousness. If you experience this, this state then you can be sure you had energy darshan from the person who is consciously sleeping. Understand if you had an experience of conscious sleeping you can be sure you had darshan energy from person who is sleeping consciously. If you had an experience of sleeping consciousness be sure you had the darshan energy from person who is consciously sleeping; means your master is the right person and you are having the right experience.
And same way if it is just from some psychic person or black magic person, that kind of people, your night sleep will be very tense, loaded, heavy. Morning you will feel as if your whole body is beaten; your whole body is beaten. Please understand, I am not saying a normal body pain. You work out too much you will have body pain, you do too much yoga you will have body pain; that is different. This pain will be completely different; as if you never slept. You will feel a deep dissatisfaction that you never slept. Something is going on. You are not comfortable, settled; it means your master is neither spiritual nor you are having spiritual experience. These are some of the clear scales.
Not only that, when you have energy darshan, energy transmission; deeksha, your waking consciousness will be awakened. Means when you morning wake up and see whole thing should look more deeper, green should look more greener, rose should look more rosy and colors should look very deep; things should appear very pure as if completely washed, fresh. If you are experiencing the conscious waking, you are receiving, you have received darshan from person who is in waking consciousness. If you are experiencing waking consciousness, you receiving darshan from person who is in conscious waking state. This understanding about each state will give you the clarity about the master and the path you are travelling. Are you growing, are you progressing; you will understand that.
And the next is the conscious dreaming and dreaming consciousness. If you had energy darshan in the night, even if you have one or two dreams you will be just aware that dreams are moving. Like a clean conscious light, the dreams are moving like a line, like a picture. How in the screen the projector scenes are moving, like that in the screen of your consciousness this will be moving. If you are clear how that moves in your inner space, you are conscious you are dreaming. That state if you go through, be very clear, if you are consciously dreaming you can be sure you received darshan from a person who is dreaming consciousness. If you are consciously dreaming, you received darshan from a person who is consciously dreaming.
Sleeping consciousness I already explained; early morning you will not have tiredness; alive, fresh. And this awareness consciousness; just for no reason, you will be sitting in his presence; you will have pure awareness consciously. You know you are in pure awareness; you are in pure awareness. So if you are having the awareness conscious experience, you are in conscious awareness. So this is what I call Upanishad; the experience of Upanishad.
Of course finally the conscious consciousness; merging with him, becoming him, becoming one; that state has neither definition nor scale or anything. That state of conscious consciousness can never be explained it is just; that’s all.
Now understanding about these states will give you the scale to work with yourself and work with the master. With this scale measure every day what is happening in you. Then you will be able to very clearly feel which direction you are going; are you in right direction, are you with right person. Because before starting your work, you need to know are you in right direction, are you with right person; after that forget about everything. Just flow with it; flow with the energy. Now you have a scale. Maybe in the continuing tomorrow and day after tomorrow sessions, I'll give you more techniques on about each state and methods to encourage the states to be encouraged, discourage the states to be discouraged, experience the stages to be experienced.
I bless you all. Let you all achieve, experience, live, express and radiate the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you. 20:28
Siddha tradition 18 Secrets to super Consciousness

Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. Today’s subject for satsang ‘Secrets of Super Consciousness’; secrets to super consciousness. There was a great master Manikyavasagar in Tamil Nadu, an enlightened master, great devotee of Shiva. He composed set of poems called Thiruvaasagam. There is a proverb 'if somebody can’t melt for those words he can’t be melt by anything’. He can’t be melted by anything; a heart pouring experience of his interactions with Shiva and encounters with Shiva. People asked him please give us the meaning of those verses. He sang in poem, poetry form, in different meters. They asked him please give us translation; we need to understand it. We need to understand the secrets of your super consciousness so that we can use that as the secrets to our super consciousness; to understand it. We need to understand the secrets of your super consciousness so that we can use that as a secrets to our super consciousness. He went to the temple, showed the deity that this is the meaning and went inside and disappeared into the deity. Understand literally he disappeared into the deity. He said this is the meaning.
There are some secrets, can’t be revealed. Words are too poor. It just only can be experienced. May be the secrets to consciousness, secrets to super consciousness, secrets of my super consciousness is the way for your super consciousness. Whatever secrets I reveal about my super consciousness you can use that as a way to your super consciousness because both are one and the same. That is why Krishna says to Arjuna ‘knowing about my births and my qualities, my gunas, let you be liberated’.
I want to tell all the newcomers, participants of IA, you may be wondering what is going on, where have I landed? I thought this is a place where I will get the super conscious experience. But I see every morning all people are sitting around him and worshipping him as God. I want you to know they are not worshipping me as God; they are worshipping me as an embodiment of all possible gods and goddesses. That is the mantra they are reciting. If I have to translate that words to you, sarva deva devi swaroopaya, means all gods and goddesses ‘O embodiment of all gods and goddesses we offer our self to you’.
You may be wondering where have I landed. Please understand neither I am enjoying nor I am encouraging or I am rejecting what they are doing. What they are doing is a technique for them self. I am just as witness. Because sun is a witness all grahas move around him. How many grahas move around him, he is there centered as witness. By knowing the nature of my super consciousness they experience their super consciousness. That is what is exactly happening. That is why this worship; this offerings.
Krishna says very clearly knowing the quality of my inner space let you be liberated. You will be liberated. So knowing the secrets of my super consciousness is not like knowing my glory. No! You can never know. It is only a method to liberate yourself, method to liberate yourself; technique to liberate yourself. Unfortunately the secrets to super consciousness can’t be revealed much by the words. Maybe it can be revealed through the presence or the Upanishad. Words are too poor and too small.
There is a story: the Ganga, Ganges was got caught in the Shiva’s head. People wanted water in the planet earth. They requested him. Shiva just removed one hair. In that gap the water came out fell on the planet earth is all the rivers and the oceans and underground water. That is the water available in planet earth. One hair fills more than 70% of the planet earth’s space. What will happen if he removes second hair? Sometime the secrets are better to be kept as secrets. Not just because it has to be kept as secret, by its very nature it cannot be verbalized, revealed; it cannot be understood. So by its own innate nature it is secret. It is secret.
Any understanding which gives you the feeling you are something more than body is secret knowledge because it leads you to the super consciousness. Any technique which gives you the experience of cosmos consciousness; more than body, it is secret technique, because it leads you to super consciousness. Anybody who leads you to the super conscious experience or out of body experience is secret being in your life because he leads to, leads you to super consciousness.
Krishna says in Gita ‘raja vidya raja guhyam’ - greatest knowledge is the greatest secret. It is not kept as secret because it should not be told. It is kept as secret because it will not be understood. A normal man, new person who comes inside this hall now, he can’t understand what is going on here. Young man sitting somewhere he is just moving his hand and people are rolling on the ground. They are not hypnotized please understand, they are completely balanced. They know what is happening now. They can repeat verbatim what I am talking. They know completely what is happening around them. See not a single person is disturbing their guru puja set. All of them can easily put thread into needle, means they can do any mild minute actions. It’s not they are out of control. No. Feeling more than the body and being centered. Same way they can sit like a statue for hours without moving the body. They can allow it to flow with energy or they can completely make it like statue. It is their conscious will but something extraordinary is happening inside everybody through the presence.
Many people ask me especially after attending the energy darshan, why is this not shown to the world. Why is this not told to the world? Yesterday somebody asked me I want to experience God, I want to hold him. I said come on how much you can hold, I will pour him on you. I went on and on and on, he was not able to. Then finally he said enough, enough, enough. I said come on now you can go. You read all these only in the fairy tales. You go and ask somebody please give me the experience of God and he just stretches his hands and you experience. You say enough, enough, enough only then he lets you go.
You read in the story of Ramakrishna he goes to, Vivekananda goes to Ramakrishna and asks ‘Have you seen God?’ Ramakrishna says not only I have seen, I can show you. He just touches Vivekananda. Vivekananda is reeling, rolling on the ground for next three days in that ecstasy. Ramakrishna would have given experience maybe to 50 people when he was in the body like this by touch. You read only all these things in the stories.
People ask me, Oh God! So much is happening here. This is green house of consciousness, nursery of new humanity. Why is it not being told to the world? It is not that we keep it a secret because it should not be told, it can’t be understood. How will you understand just these phenomena? What will you understand? That is why yesterday I said, the word medium is too poor. They are not mediums. They are divya shariris. The difference between mediums and divya shariris - these people every time they sit as a divya shariri they go through this experience. They become more aware, more intelligent, more blissful. But the mediums, every time they go through that they become more sober, more dull, more dead, more submissive.
Surrender is not submission. Surrender means expressing your will hundred percent and dedicating your will to the higher will; making your will in tune with the higher will. Submission means destroying your will; bending your will. There’s a big difference. You can see in yourself. Morning if you are feeling fresh, alive, things are more green, more living, more life, no tiredness, no feeling that you have not slept; you had the conscious transmission; glimpse of super consciousness. There are many secrets of super consciousness; can’t be spoken but can be revealed; maybe one strong Upanishad for all of you; Upanishad means just sitting with the intense presence so that you are ready for today’s session.
So today and tomorrow evening I will work on awakening the non mechanical parts of the brain, from day after tomorrow morning awakening different strands of DNA. Now just sit, if you feel you can sit with open eyes or closed eyes, but I am revealing the secrets of consciousness which can’t be spoken. Which can be spoken I have spoken in last 8000 hours, which can’t be spoken I will reveal it. I bless all the devotees and disciples who are sitting around the world watching this eN satsang message live even you all will experience this revelation; the secrets of super consciousness.
Let you all achieve, experience, live, express and radiate the eternal bliss Nithyananda.
Siddha tradition 19 Science of Becoming an Avatar

Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. As you are all aware I am continuing on siddha tradition. Today’s subject for morning satsang is ‘Greatest truth revealed - Become an Avatar’. I want all of you to know an important truth. This I can make it in a very clear way, in a challenging way. There is no tradition; no spiritual tradition in the world speaks of man becoming an incarnation in that very body except siddha tradition. All traditions talk only about becoming enlightened; you will be liberated; jeevan mukta. But siddha tradition is the only tradition which has studied, mastered, the science of making your body capable of radiating that intense experience after becoming enlightened. Becoming incarnation, becoming an avatar, incarnation, the science is experienced and expressed only in siddha tradition. No other tradition has done so much research on body; please understand, on the physical, mental, emotional dimensions you need to have to be an incarnation.
All, almost all spiritual traditions stops with awakening the non mechanical parts of your brain; that’s all, they stop with it. Siddha tradition is the first science, spiritual science which has dived deep into the realms of awakening the deeper strands of your very DNA. Making new man is possible only through siddha tradition. Of course siddha tradition is not separate from vedic tradition. I can say a small secret mystical group which was doing higher parts of research and development in vedic tradition can be called as siddha tradition. Nobody has done so much work, so much of research and development. Nobody has revealed so much in the line of awakening the deeper strands of your DNA. Siddha tradition works with such powerful process. Straight away they work with death to awaken your deeper strands of DNA.
Please understand death is not actually as you think something negative. Siddha’s have mastered the science how to use every death to awaken the deeper strands of DNA. Every death can be used to awaken deeper strands of DNA. Please understand, at the time you are disillusioned about the stability of the society, your third level DNA strand can be awakened. Because disillusioning disillusionment about the society creates a deep insecurity in you and when you face that insecurity, next level of DNA the very physical structure, physical ability gets awakened in you. I can tell you really when you face a deep insecurity with the society you have two choice; either you can build completely new muscles and new body or completely get broken; go to pieces. You have two choices. Because when the insecurities attack, when the insecurity is awakened in you, if you just go into death, the death of moment to moment to moment, you will start living more into the conscious state. Living more into the conscious state will awaken the deeper strands of DNA.
Third and fourth same way if you have a broken heart if there is a problem you are facing in your life because of some broken relationship; yesterday two three people were telling me, asking me for healing that they have a broken relationship; their relationship is broken. Please understand go into that consciously. You will see the deeper level strands of DNA will be awakened in you. You will start living intensely, blissfully with your own body, without the need of other body. The possibility for achieving brahmacharya happens in you when the relationships are broken. Relationship being broken is the death; brahmacharya happening is new birth. So every major incident in your life, every death in your life can be used to awaken the deeper level strands of DNA.
Siddhas have used this science. Consciously they will put people into the death experience and awaken the deeper strands of DNA and bring them back. They even use sometimes herbs. See siddhas use three things; mani mantra aushada. Mani means the truths, mantra means the technique, aushada means herbs; medicines. Siddha masters have used all three. They will put disciple to death, awaken the deeper strands of DNA and bring him back. Science of becoming an incarnation is expressed in such a detailed way in the siddha tradition. I tell you every suffering imposed on you, I am not saying just die with the suffering; no…..live with the suffering. Live it. Suddenly you will see the moment you live you start living, deeper strands of DNA starts getting awakened in you.
Please understand, I am not saying you will just become emotionally strong. No. Your very body, to hold the consciousness will become great and big. Your very system which has an intense ability capacity to radiate will become big. Today we will work on death, of course not with medicines. Today we will work on death but not with medicines but just with understanding and technique. I can tell you from my own life how each death happened in my life, has made me an incarnation or I can say awakened the deeper strands of DNA.
First death I faced in my life, my father’s elder brother’s son, elder son. He died. He fell into the village well. He went for a vacation to his one of his relative’s house. You all know in Bharatn villages, if the school holiday, immediately we will pack and go to some aunts house uncles house; two three days run around there and come back. It’s a only way of vacation. He went to vacation; nearby village. My family is a tight knit family. They don’t marry outside the, not even outside community not even outside the family. They will marry inside, inside, inside, inside, inside, you pick up one person he will have ten way of relationship with other persons. So this boy, he used to be dumb and deaf little. So he can’t speak fluently. He went for vacation and the villages will have a wall, the well without wall. So this guy was running around and fell into that well and died; unfortunately.
So when his body was brought, first time its reality for me, somebody whom you saw till few days before will not be with you anymore. I can say in a way he was my first devotee. He used to have a great devotion for me. He is the one who will bring water, flowers, everything for my puja. He had a tremendous love and respect for me. Even though I am younger to him he will bring all the things necessary for my puja, help me in puja, assist me; very religious person. And I used to give him lot of attention. I am the only person who can play with him or who can entertain him. You see in all other play you need to talk, you need to interact, you need to be equal. But my play is sitting with the deities and playing, doing puja. There you don’t need to talk much. And only I will be able to accommodate him in my play. Nobody can accommodate. So he used to have a tremendous love for me and my first assistant maybe I can say and a great devotee.
Suddenly, he is not there. Apart from my practical problems of who will assist me in my puja and all that, who will fetch me water, who will get me flowers, who will get me sandal paste, then with that only you can do puja. I was thinking who will do all this work; such a big shock. The basic understanding that death is inevitable got drilled in me. Actually I can say this awakened the sense that I have to be dependant only on me, only on my body and mind for anything I want to do. Society will not be a permanent help. That reality was completely experienced by me. I can say surely it has awakened a very deep, next level strands of DNA in my body. It’s a independence. I can say this was one strong shift in my body. My body has become, started becoming yogic body. See my whole idea of depending on somebody was lost. I have to be completely dependent only on the six feet frame for anything I have to do.
And he was one more close disciple of Raghupathy Yogi. Raghupathy Yogi was actually working on him to make him speak. I have seen, Raghupathy Yogi actually made him speak at least on three occasion very fluently. But that boy finally asked Raghupathy Yogi no, no, no, I think I will be better if I just live the same way I came, so that I will not have much responsibility in the world; again the conscious decision. I have seen Raghupathy Yogi made him speak at least on three occasions very fluently. He gave some herbs and asked him to keep on the last part of the teeth and hold. And he started speaking fluently. That funny thing is, holding his teeth he was speaking fluently. That’s the most funny thing. Still I remember, the jaws are completely holding the herb, but he is speaking, he is able to create the sounds very properly, very clearly. That was the most funny part. Still I am not able to understand how Raghupathy Yogi made it.
Anyhow, the first death, that is responsible for my body becoming yogic body. So Oh God, because he used to bring me the nagalinga flowers which will grow, which will, the flowers will happen in the tree at least some six seven feet high. He is little taller than me, he will climb that tree and get that flower. The flower will be like a thousand hooded snake and inside there will be shivalinga. It’s called nagalinga flower. So he used to climb the tree and bring the flower. First time I realized, Oh God! Now I have to climb by myself. Even though Raghupathy Yogi has trained me climbing pillars and all that, the necessity to become an independent yogic body has happened in me with that first death.
The second death was my grandmother’s; my grandfather’s elder brother’s wife. She lived riped age of more than 103 and till the end very healthy. The funny part in this is, please understand the most funny part in this is, all these deaths I am describing happened like a process one by one by one. Now if I look back, it was such a great preparation how the cosmos was making incarnation. Actually I myself enjoy that story. I am writing an autobiography. I do not know whether somebody else is enjoying or not going to enjoy or not. I myself intensely enjoying. Oh God! What a play! What a leela happening! It’s such powerful truth; such powerful incidents played so beautifully, such a coordinated way.
The next death, my grandmother’s death; that has given me the lesson of society cannot be trusted and it is not a structure as it is believed by you. Father is not a father, mother is not a mother, uncle is not an uncle, aunt is not aunt. Things can be completely different. See first time I realized people can talk one thing and think something else. I never understood you can think something and talk something else. First time I realized during my grandmother’s death, how people behaved I saw.
You see she died and there used to be a doctor opposite to my house; very nice person. This old lady, our house had a big well in the center. In villages you know the common wells will be there in center of the houses. So in my whole street this is the only well which can give water during summer. During summer all other wells will dry up. So this poor doctor during summer he has to come only to this well for water. In villages it’s like they will, water and food and all is practically any house you can go and eat. I have seen at least when we were born and brought up that we all kids will go to any house and eat in that 30-40 houses. It will be aunt, uncle, father, father’s brother, brothers in laws or sister’s husband; someway it will be related. And so this doctor has to come here for the water. This old lady who died, my grandmother, she had a strong belief that after the sunset that needle, water, fire; all this three should not be given. So for some urgent thing after sunset if they come for the water this lady will shout and she will take away that vessel with which they fetch water from the well and hide it.
Once that doctor came for very important urgent reason - emergency for water. This lady did not give. She quoted that proverb – needle, water and fire should not be taken out of the house after the sunset. It’s a village belief. So the day before she died, it was late night. She had some problem. She need to have injection, some injection. So the doctor was called. The doctor came and checked everything and he said injection has to be given. Then that old lady said, ‘go and bring from your house’ and opposite house, this doctor said ‘You only used to tell water, needle and fire cannot be brought outside the house after the sunset. How can I bring? That old lady could neither say yes nor say no. She said no, no, somehow save me, save me. Then finally that doctor is a good person. He went and brought and did whatever he can but he couldn’t save. Naturally because she is too old and next day she passed away.
I just remembered Oh God!! This lady to whom she is not giving but that guy is giving so much. That’s one understanding. Second when the death was declared I saw all our, my family people. They were all sitting and they were all very normal happy; actually waiting for her to die. Because she had lot of money, jewelleries; those days that silver coin. In Bharat we had a habit of silver coin, pre independence silver coins, lot of those coins she had under her bed in a trunk box. So now all these fellows will get a share because she had a, she herself did not have any kids. But her brothers and their kids many and finally each one will get one maybe little, little. But they were all waiting for their share. They were waiting for her death. The moment she died I saw these fellows were very cool. They did not cry immediately. They went to their rooms. Each one will be given one, one room usually in the joint families. They all went to their rooms and changed the dress, put on very simple clothes, removed all the costly jewels and put on simple jewels, came and assembled in the hall, center hall, as if like a scene and the first one say hmm start ooooooo………they started crying. It’s almost like a divya shariri. The moment I say, they start jumping.
And oooooooo they start. I thought Oh God! I thought the pain or the suffering will come immediately; the moment you say she has died. But this guys all went and did all, removed their makeup and they all opened their hair almost preparation for the whole scene. And I remember some of the ladies they wiped all the powder and eyeliner whatever they had. They came and sat in round circle and ooooo paati you left us and went away. Oh granny you left us and went away, they start. I couldn’t understand. Oh God! Just one minute before they were all alright. And the doctor declared at least twenty minutes before she is dead. How come twenty minutes no pain, no suffering, no crying came out, till all of them went to their rooms and changed their clothes and came back and they were even waiting for somebody to arrive. So they all waited when the last one arrived then they started ooooo granny you left us and went away. There is a typical song.
I thought Oh God! Anyhow I was not able to cry. I was feeling sad because I missed my candy every day. Every day she will give me one job. She will tell me to go and bring tobacco from the corner house; corner shop in the street; every corner in the street she will ask me to go and bring tobacco for chewing. She will not give money. She will tell take from your father. My father is a spendthrift. That is the right word I have to say. And he and money can’t go hand in hand. Anybody asks anything he will give away. You don’t need to ask second time. Only once you need to tell him you are in suffering and he will give it away. And he will give me the money and I will get tobacco for her and candy for me. And from today no candy because she is gone and I was only feeling bad for that but I was not crying.
I know all these fellows are trying to fake that crying. I slowly started laughing. Oh God! I am a small boy ten year old boy maybe. I went and leaned on my mother’s neck, back. Still I remember very clearly. They were all sitting like round and they were putting their hand on each other and bending and going up and down. That is the way they cry. Oh granny you left us and went away. That is the way they cry. I am giving you the exact scene. And then after two three times you shout that, clean the nose and wipe on somebody’s back side saree, somebody’s pallu, and then oooooo the milk which we boiled for yesterday got spoiled. This is all verses. And the buttermilk which we kept for you is drunk by the cat. Then we realized you are not going to be here to drink that milk, to drink that buttermilk. These are all I am giving you the exact translation of the village verses. When somebody dies how they sing; it’s called uppari in Tamil.
And then after few minutes when it becomes tired; you see how many times you will bend and up and down, up and down. And after few minutes they will sit. They will wipe their face and they will talk. What happened to your mother in law? She did not come. Ehh this saree I never saw, where did you buy? And they will be talking all very relaxed way. If some new relative comes then ohhhh mamaaaaaaa our granny went away leaving us, and that guy also will take the kerchief very seriously.... we don’t know whether he is hiding his laughter or crying. No really see, how many of you felt when you went to a death house, feeling like laughing? Raise your hand. See, but you can’t laugh there. What to do? Take the kerchief and hide the face. 29:09 No I saw the whole fun happening and I was actually leaning on my mother’s back. She was doing that same exercise of up and down. No……I remember leaning on her back and holding her head. Ma, you were not crying earlier I asked. Ehh she said ehhh keep quiet, now cry. Then I peeped my head between the heads and looked into my aunt’s face. She also only when she comes up she is showing the face, when she goes down she is ok. When she was going down she is ok. She is just wiping the face and she is not showing any face. When she comes up when others are able to see, she starts crying. I thought oh God! How can this be? And still I remember very clearly all the scenes very vividly. And these guys were not crying earlier now they are crying. How can this sudden and not only that after few minutes they settle down and only when the new relative comes, again the burst. And that guy also will sit in that circle. And you will say ok, ok what to do after all she lived her life completely and then after two minutes, he will wipe the face and then ask so everything what else is going on? What is growing in the land, in that farm land? Is all the property is in her name or shifted to somebody else’s name? They will start enquiring.
And after dropping that body, after one hour I saw all these fellows got into her room and locked them self and I also somehow sneaked into the room. I saw they are sharing the wealth under her bed. Now the fight started among the family; who will get that she had a pavala mala; the pearl mala. Who will get that mala? Who will get this coin? Who will get that jewelry? Who will get this jewelry? And they are cutting all that mala and jewels into pieces and weighing. And, body, dead body is lying down in the hall, but already the sharing has started.
When I looked at all that I thought Oh God! This lady had so much under her cot and she will never give a penny for the tobacco. First thing I thought if she would have given little bit of this I would have given it to that chettiar and whole life she would have had tobacco and I would have had candy. And neither she enjoyed nor she gave me and she just left the whole thing and died. Then I suddenly realized, even this fellows who are fighting and sharing, they are also going to leave and die like this. Same thing is going to happen. They take from her after her death. Somebody else is going to take from these guys after these guys death! I thought Oh God that’s right. So what is the use of this whole thing? Then what is happening in this whole thing? Just somebody steals from somebody legally or illegally but it is all just stealing, stealing, stealing, stealing, stealing. If you are caught, it’s illegal, if you are not it is legal; that’s all. Otherwise from here to there, here to there, here to there it’s all just stolen, stolen, stolen, stolen, stolen; nothing else.
First time my idea about society crumbled down, because one of my uncle was forcing me ehhh cry. I said no I don’t feel like crying. He said no everybody is coming, cry. I said no, I won’t. Then he has given me he slapped me. I just held his hand and said if you touch me once more I will tell everybody what all you guys did in the room; fighting for her jewels. Then my father intervened and said, “You know this fellow will really tell. Why are you playing with him? Why are you beating him at this moment? He will really sit outside and tell everybody before they come inside." Then they understood the danger. They put me in a room and locked me. They locked that room. I was inside that room. I can say I cried, cried, cried, for maybe half an hour or one hour. Then when I just fell, it was a big opening; a kind of a breaking; my whole being settled. My respect for society has disappeared.
Awakening of the deeper strands of DNA, this death has made vedic mind happen in me. The first death has made yogic body happen in me. This death has made vedic mind happen in me. I have to be independent mentally. There is no such thing as straight forwardness, honesty, innocence, thinking and talking it as it is. That was the first revelation for me. It was a strong revelation because I always thought thinking and talking is one and the same. I was feeling sad only for my candy. So I was telling that same thing to everybody. There is no hide and seek or double things. First time I realized people can think something else and speak something else. It was such a big revelation for me.
So, next strand of DNA was awakened in me, in my system. I realized I should have the vedic mind; means independent mind, untouched. I can say that vedic mind happened in me on that day; means keeping myself away from society. I have a space inside which is completely untouched by all circumstances outside. And I don’t need to; I don’t have the desire to go here, there or anything to see anything. Just because I don’t have desire to see anything, thousands come to see me. Understand, when that desire has disappeared I have become worthy of being seen by people or people naturally have the interest to see me. So I don’t go out to see anything.
Actually I have nothing to enjoy in the life. Maybe if I enjoy something in the life, when I see the devotion in the eyes of the disciples when they see me, that scene I enjoy; that’s all. That I don’t need to go anywhere; wherever I sit I have that scene only in front of me all the time. Millions sitting continuously in complete melting mood, so this is the only scene if at all I enjoy I enjoy.
Siddha tradition 20 Unrevealed Miracles of Mystics
DATE: December 4th 2010
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram

DURATION: 27:01
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. Today’s subject is ‘Unrevealed Miracles of Mystics’. Whoever reveals the unrevealed is incarnation. Unrevealed should not just disappear without being revealed to the world. With this tremendous compassion and love the human consciousness should experience the unrevealed super consciousness. With this, vision, beings who reveal the super consciousness to the human consciousness are only called incarnations and some of the miracles they have performed. I will try to express few words.
Please understand I will give you a simple example, kind of a diagram. I will just try to explain with an example. This is sun and you are like a mirror; your body is like a mirror. Sun rays fall in the mirror and reflection is created. That light falls on something, this reflection’s light, this is what is world. The sun is super consciousness, the reflection in the mirror is the 'I' the individual self which you feel and this mirror is the body. The reflection, the light on which the light falls, the reflection falls, is the world. Now, all your suffering is because of, this reflection when it falls on the world, it chooses some part and rejects some part. It does just does not look up to its source. It starts losing itself in what is being seen and starts liking, taking up something, starts rejecting, frightened about something. Please understand complete secret of death will be can be experienced with this.
I will tell you with this understanding how the mystics perform miracles. Here there is something in the world which is understood by this reflection; which this reflection starts liking. There is something which this reflection starts hating. Whenever something is liked by this reflection because this reflection is the reflection of consciousness it does not keep quiet, it changes the very form of the mirror; body itself. Please understand if you are continuously fantasizing about food the very quality of your body changes, if you are continuously fantasizing about music the very quality of your body changes. If you are continuously fantasizing about sex the very quality of your body changes. The reflection not just keeps quiet. It works on the body and changes the very quality of the body. The reflection instead of looking at the things on which it is reflecting if it looks back from where he is reflecting, that is sadhana and enlightenment. If he is looking only on the things on which he is reflecting that is what we call the ordinary mundane life of fear and greed and this not knowing what to do with the life.
Yesterday one devotee told me in the energy darshan. Swamiji I don’t know what to do with my life. Oh God! I really felt, no……I felt her suffering. I felt her pain and…..of course at least she is fortunate she is here. In few days the clarity is going to happen, the transformation is going to happen and naturally she will know what is and what she wants to and what should be; all that. But how many billions of people in the planet earth are there, having life and not knowing what to do with the life. Oh God I can tell you that is the worst thing which can happen to human being; having life but not knowing; because on each line there is so much of plus and minus. You do not know what you really want; too much choice without having the choice-less awareness.
Please understand, if I am asked to kill any one negative energy in the planet earth the first thing I will pick up is having too much of choice without choice-less awareness. That is the worst state to be in. The choice-less awareness, please understand with choice-less awareness if you have too much of choices you will just know you can enjoy everything. That makes you multi dimensional. Without choice-less awareness too much of choice just makes you depressed and you do not know what to do with the life. Please understand each ray comes out of reflection, works through one of your nadi; one of your nadi. You have 72000 minor nadis, 24 major nadis, one central nadi. These are some of the revelations from the mystics. But I don’t have any scientific reference or the any scientific proof for it. It’s the experience of siddhas.
Please understand, each attraction, for example you are attracted to certain food. So one of your nadi will be engaged; means that reflection will use that particular nadi to retain the memory about that food and craving about the food and the necessity for that food and the satisfaction which you enjoy when you have that food. That whole file will be in that one nadi. If you are afraid of something, one nadi will be used to keep the file about that fear and that object. If you are using too many nadis, you are caught in what you are seeing. If you are retrieving yourself, if you are turning yourself towards from where you are reflected, not on which you are reflecting, please understand on which you are reflection is worldly life, from where you are reflecting is spiritual life. If your life is flowing towards on which you are reflecting, it is worldly life; pravritti in Sanskrit we call. If your life is reflecting on from where you are reflecting it is called nivritti; an enlightenment life.
So too many nadis engaged on what is being seen without having the center of what is seen is what I call without having choice-less awareness having too much of choice. Modern day kids, one of the major disease modern day kids are suffering is this disease. This is responsible for drugs, teenage suicide and heavy, heavy, heavy depression youth face in the modern age. Please understand one of the worst thing I found in the modern age youth is they lose the innocence of childhood, the joy of being a youth, very young very quickly; because too much of choices are put in front of them without having the choice-less awareness. I can tell you it’s almost like hundred varieties of food which you really love are put inside, in front of you and just your tongue is cut off; exactly the same thing.
12;45 I tell you if you are living with too much of choice without choice-less awareness you are ghost; you are not a being, you are ghost. You need to be afraid of you; not about anybody else. You don’t need anybody to destroy your life, you are enough. You are enough unto yourself; one of the major suffering modern day youth is facing. Understand I am giving this message to modern day youth from all over the world especially Bharatn kids. Bharatn kids are losing their roots. In US they have a word American born confused desis for the NRI kids; ABCD American born confused desis. Not only NRI kids, even in Bharat RNI kids; I am talking about RNI kids that tremendous depression and cluelessness about the life and chaos they are going through.
Understand just if the reflection is towards on which he is reflected, what is going to happen? Naturally the mirror is going to get tired filled with dust disturbed and any moment he may turn and the reflection of the super conscious will stop reflecting on the mirror. I am warning, giving a strong spiritual warning to Bharatn youth. Please understand getting back to the vedic lifestyle is not an option for you. Now it is a medicine for you. Now the only remedy the Bharatn youth has is getting back to the vedic tradition; vedic understanding about life. I am not saying drop your jeans and iPad and iPod and cell phone and no…..but I am saying the culture put into your head along with those instruments. Those instruments are poor, innocent. But the idea to live with too much of choices without choice-less awareness is the dangerous idea; that is what is dangerous idea.
In the 72000 nadis if at least 10000 is centered towards from where you are reflecting, all other 62000 is reflecting on which you are reflecting, you will be balanced. All I am asking is just to dedicate 10000; means maybe one hour or two hour of your life being centered on the higher ideals; your actions and thinking, at least one hour or two hour being centered on the source from which you are reflecting. That’s all I am asking; nothing else. Or just perish; nothing else. And Bharatn youth is the largest number of youth in the world. Bharat is the youngest country in the world. If you guys are not going to survive it is danger for the planet earth. That is why I assumed the body of Bharatn youth because I am going to work on them. They are my first priority. They are my first priority. The planet earth needs to be saved. If it has to be saved it can be saved only by Bharatn youth.
Too much choice without choice-less awareness is the greatest danger we are facing. And I just wanted to give you the deeper mysteries of this nadi science which I explained now. I think all of you are able to catch the basics of what I am saying. Your body is the mirror. The super consciousness is the sun that is reflecting on you. The reflection which is felt in the body is the individual self. That reflections reflection whatever you are seeing is the world. In that reflection, some part which you are seeing you like some you don’t like and through 72000 ray line you see this. In that 72000 all 72000 is spent on what is seen without being the source of seeing; the super consciousness, you are in depression; essence, thats the essence.
If you just in that 62000 if you just divert 10000 up; from where you are reflecting, you will have a complete balance. If you divert 50% towards where you are reflecting you will be already living a jeevan mukta life. You don’t need to divert more than 50% that’s enough. The remaining 50% have a playful on what you are seeing or just have a little joyful fear and joyful greed and playful worry. You can have all that you can have all that and play with all of them; nothing wrong. It’s great. But little bit of centering on the choice-less awareness; at least 10000 nadis in the 72000 being centered on from where you are reflecting is essential. That is essence of life and essential in life.
If that centering on what is, from where you are reflected, is established, physically you will express miracles. Understand physically you will express miracles. Just yesterday night after the darshan I took the batch of these mediums to our akhada, akhada is the place where we have our gym. All the fellows who sat as medium they lifted at least two to three times of their own weight. That much weight they lifted. Please understand lifting three times of your weight is not a joke. Normally they can’t even lift their weight or equalent to their weight. If somebody is 50 kg, they lifting 50 kg is not a joke. Took them to the akhada, just awakened the kundalini, at least twice, some people up to thrice……weight just like that they lifted; nothing else. And after that they were saying we don’t even know that we lifted so much weight. It feels like a zero, zero weight.
When the kundalini is awakened more than 10000 nadi of you is centered on what is seen. Please understand it is centered on through, sorry it is not what is seen, it is centered on from where you are reflected to super consciousness. In siddha tradition there is a sutra, when the kundalini is awakened if you can lift equalent to your body weight its called bala. One bala if you have, one nadi, the left or right will be perfect. If you are able to lift twice your weight when that awakening happens, I am not talking about normal weight lifting practice and training, no. When that experience happens, when that levitation happens, when that awakening happens, if you are able to lift twice your weight it’s called two bala; the pingala and idagala; both will be active, alive. If you are able to three times lift thrice your weight then all three nadis will be alive; means at least 10000 of your nadis among the 72000 is centered towards the source from where you are reflecting; means super consciousness.
Physically they showed yesterday the power of kundalini, when the kundalini awakens, one of our brahmacharini just she is 50, she lifted 120 kg. She is only 50 kg weight. She just lifted 120 kg. And there are some more who lifted 140 just twice or thrice of their weight. Just the power of kundalini shakti. Ordinarily they can’t lift more than 20 or 30 kg; just like not only they lifted, they were actually coming forward. They said no Swamiji we will lift thrice our weight. I said relax not in the same day. You guys may get enlightened too soon. Let’s do it properly so that your body is also ready; physically showing the power of the nadi; power of the nadi.
I can even show with you guys, even with participants. Normally maximum how much you are able to lift and just when that levitation happens when that energy explosion happens how much you are able to lift, it will be at least three times more and you will not have any pain any damage. I am responsible. I am telling you. But don’t do it on your own. Do in controlled condition with the proper support and help. So these all practices should not be done on your own. It should be done directly under the guidance of the Master, because only then I will know whether it is kundalini awakening or your own some hallucination.
One part of you being centered on the source from which you are reflecting is the essential teaching which I am trying to transmit in today’s satsang. That’s what I am trying to transmit in today’s satsang. Actually in that 72000 if less number of nadis you see, I can give you the example like, from the reflection how many rays are flowing that rays can be considered as nadis. 72000 rays are flowing. In that 72000 if less are flowing outward you can change your body any time easily. The reflection can change the mirror. Enough this mirror is too tired too old, come on lets go to the next mirror. Because from the reflection not much to be identified. Go to the next mirror; that’s all.
Understand I can just make time out of consciousness. Because I am completely free from on which I am reflecting. All my 72000 nadis are centered from which I am reflecting not on which I am reflecting. I will talk on deeper lines of how retrieving the nadi flow from on which you reflected to from which you reflect and the benefits of it. How you can heal your body, change your body, play with your body and enjoy being in the body on next sessions.
Let you all achieve, experience, live, express and radiate the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank You.
Siddha tradition 21 Experience the God State with God

Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. Today’s subject for morning satsang is ‘Experience the God State with God’. You can experience God state only with God, with whom else you can experience. Yesterday some devotee was asking me something like, when I was telling about, get into the source of the ‘you’, what you feel as you; you are a reflection, look into the source of you. He said you are our source Swamiji. I said then what do you mean? That is what I mean. Why will I promote somebody else!!
Understand because I realized I am the source I go on promoting you to look into your source. If you look into your source you will know your source and my source is one and the same. Please understand when I say realize yourself, I mean, actually when you realize your self you will realize your ‘self’ and my ‘self’ is one and the same. I promote Krishna, Rama, Shiva, Buddha because I know I have realized my self and their self is one and the same; the consciousness. I have experienced them in my consciousness, me in their consciousness. So naturally I am promoting them, the consciousness in which the Krishna, Buddha, Shiva, all of them radiate.
Experience God state with God. In the beginning the experience of God can happen only with God, then your very being becomes God, then that starts transmitting that experience to others. If you observed yesterday night energy darshan, I was trying to train five six of the divya shariris; without me interfering or giving little bit support to awaken the kundalini energy of somebody else I was giving instruction, come on when that energy awakens convert that into a word; vaak and release it into the air, so that that word reaches, that air that energy reaches the other person and other persons energy, kundalini gets awakened. The expansion of consciousness starts happening.
I am trying to demystify this whole energy science; still verbally conveying it is such big job. Somebody asked me yesterday two things; one, some CD music which we are playing here, some music CD and an outer body experience. I said this outer body experience will be lot more easy for me than the music CD because this I have and I can give it immediately. This music CD I have to get it from somewhere. Same way doing the energy play becomes lot more easy than talking about it because doing is more like connecting with two beings. Talking is like connecting with all the people’s logic at a time.
Experiencing God with God; all you need to do to experience God with God is stop your ignorance which acts outrageously. Understand, sometime in the life every human being feels God in some reflection. Sometime when you sit on a hill, watch the evening sunset, suddenly you feel God present in that experience or you go to some temple see the deity in a very unexpected way, you loosen yourself and you will see God in that space or you go to some Guru, you go with a lot of tightness only, because your family dragged you or your wife dragged you, you go there. Some moment if you are fortunate enough you may open up, your heart may open up, feel connected. You will feel God consciousness in that space. Whenever you loosen up or open up you will see that space is being filled with God. But your mind is so idiotic, always trying to do something outrageous, agitated, constantly trying to hold on to the identity which you project to the whole world; which will not be useful even for two annas, I can, literally if I have to say, not even be useful for a penny. Because if few pennies gather it may become a dollar, useful, but if few minds like your mind gathers it can become dangerous. Why few, two, no why two, one is enough.
I tell you really, anybody who is seeking something more than the five sense pleasure, I am challenging, if he sees my picture or listens to word or one glimpse, he has to feel connected beyond his logic. I am telling you very clearly. See Ramakrishna declared once; in this age whoever has to reach enlightenment they have to go through only through this door. He said when he was in the body. It is true. When he was in the body, all the major spiritual expressions are directly indirectly his shades; the waves happened in the ocean of Ramakrishna. I am telling you very clearly, whatever may be the religion, spiritual group they belong to, if they seek something more than five sensual pleasure, even an accident coming across of my form or name, simply something will be awakened in them and they will see their fulfillment in larger than life size in me. No other way. I tell you any seeker exists in this era in the planet has to feel connected no other way. If he comes across, he doesn’t need to logically think and do, just his whole consciousness will feel connected.
As long as the worrying individuals exist on the planet earth, the soothsayers and predicting leaders, predicting people cannot be destroyed. Understand I am talking from chakra to chakra. As long as the continuing worrying people exist on the planet earth the predictors - don’t worry this will happen that will happen, this will change that will change, in this date that will happen, in this date this will happen; the predictors cannot be destroyed. They will have their market. As long as people who can’t share love with real people, who don’t know the quality of opening up exist, the romance based industry will be alive; means constantly watching in the TV and movie and in the internet the duets and romance scenes and the stories, but never able to express that love by yourself to a living person. As long as people don’t know how to open and share themself with others the romance based entertainment industry will be alive. It cannot be destroyed.
As long as people who don’t feel satisfied with them self exist or this competition field industries, sports, beauty; all competition field industries will exist. It cannot be destroyed. As long as human beings seek something more than five senses I will be there I cannot be destroyed. Understand every cream in the society, every decision maker in the society is essence or the collective solidification of certain group of individuals exist in the planet earth. If you want the education system created by an enlightened being to reproduce all the components and dimensions of his very being become eN Genius, get into eN Vidyalayas. Each group which I expressed now are the expressions of one type of mind; mental setup.
I tell you I am actually revealing one of the important truth. All the people who are successful in the fields and industries where competition is the basic thread, like sports beauty, in all this fields the competition is the basic line, they will have a deep, very deep dissatisfaction and unacceptance about them self. I am guaranteeing you. Their very breathing, their very space will be so intolerable to them self. Please understand, their own space will be intolerable to them self. They will be constantly trying to jump out of their own space. Its like you trying to jump out of your frame. Is it possible?
The other day I was reading news. It was telling, one guy was giving a press meet. In that he was talking ‘I never read first pages of the paper because first pages are always about somebody’s failure and last pages are always about somebody’s success’; sports page. He was telling that first pages are always about somebody’s failure and last pages are always about somebody’s success. ‘So I always read only last pages never the first pages.’ Unfortunately in no media there is no space for somebody who just awakens himself to awaken all others. Still society is yet to evolve.
As I said what you want to experience you attract that kind of person in your life, you will be attracted to that kind of persons in your life. Whatever is life thread for you, you will reach that source. If you want to experience God naturally it can happen only with God and the very need that you want to experience will reach you to God; will reach you to intense energy field, will reach you to the God consciousness, the person who is radiating God consciousness. That’s why Ramakrishna says if you are thirsty somehow you will find water; if you are seeking somehow you will find Master. You will just see it will happen; it will happen. So all you need is, retain that need to experience God. You will experience God with God.
I bless you all. Let you all achieve, experience, live, express and radiate the eternal bliss Nithyananda. Thank you. 18:30
Beware and Be Aware of Ignorance

Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. From today in morning satsang I am starting Patanjali Yoga Sutras. I am not ending siddha tradition series, please understand. Because I suddenly realized siddhas have already become my being, bone marrow, blood. So on any subject I talk they are going to come out automatically. So I don’t need to spend separate time and title for siddha tradition. Of course Patanjali is one of the great siddha. So I decided the Patanjali Yoga Sutras is a well known book scripture all over the world. By sharing my experiences on this truth lot more seekers will be helped. So I will start expressing my experiences on Patanjali Yoga Sutras; of course with the expression of siddhas.
Today’s subject is ‘Beware and Be Aware of Ignorance’. Not just beware, be aware. See, beware of ignorance is an intellectual waking up. Be aware of ignorance is a technique to go beyond ignorance. Technical knowledge and technique, both I am trying to convey just with this one topic. Beware of ignorance is a technical knowledge. Be aware of ignorance - technique to go beyond ignorance. Beware and be aware - both needs to be experienced. How to experience both the space?
Let’s see how Patanjali is guiding us. The second chapter 24th verse ‘Tasya hetur avidya’. The translation; Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as ignorance is its cause. Prabhavananda translates as this identification is caused by ignorance. Dwivedi translates it as its cause is ignorance. Swami Sachidananda translates as the cause of this union is ignorance. Second chapter 24th sutra has continuous I don’t know the number but second chapter 24th sutra.
Tasya hetur avidya. The cause of unawareness of purusha, the consciousness, about its real nature, why it gets mixed with the matter, why it feels itself confused or identified with the matter, is ignorance. I'll try to define ignorance. Intellectual perversion is ignorance. Any idea which works in you and creates restful awareness is shastra; means knowledge, spiritual truth. Any idea which works in you and creates violence, anger, an unsettled end; you see all ideas lead you to a further and further and further. If it leads to somewhere, naturally it will end at one point. The point... you see for example, when you learn about acceptance, this idea will naturally start growing in you, how to accept, what to accept what is acceptance and all that. Finally, end of this thinking process if you feel settled and the acceptance is happening in you it has become knowledge in you; it is knowledge. But unfortunately this has not settled in you, like, end of this thinking process if you know I am not able to accept me or I don’t know what to do; it just ends abruptly without getting the completion or without reaching its logical conclusion just by kind of a suffering, violence; either violence towards you or others, that’s what I call intellectual perversion; that is what is ignorance.
To get out of ignorance don’t think ignorance is something like a black dark ghost which will appear with two horns and big teeth..... no! Don’t be afraid. Any intellectual process which you started in you, which has not reached it logical conclusion, which has not been completed, is ignorance. About any truth about life; sometime by mistake you would have started thinking about what is life? That thought, that seeking, that intellectual understanding, may not have reached its conclusion; logical conclusion. Maybe somewhere it is stuck, somewhere you stopped thinking, you stopped pushing it further, you stopped working on it further; that stopping is ignorance.
Anything stopped in the mid is intellectual perversion because it is not that you just stop and leave it. After stopping, the idea which you get during that stopping, based on that you plan strategies. Not taking your logical thinking, your intellectual thinking, to its logical conclusion; the end. When it has not reached its end, any idea you have is dangerous. Any strategy planning you do based on that is dangerous, violence, arrogant, aggressive. Any logical, any process, try to take it to its logical end, to its logical conclusion; have patience. Sometime things need time.
What about you guys even I am, I am sitting here in this throne just because of my tremendous patience. Otherwise the harassment and abusal done on me, just because of the tremendous patience I could digest everything, again look at the human beings to teach and share what I wanted to share. I am not asking you to have the patience which I am having at least 1/100th, at least 1%. Otherwise if somebody else goes through the abusal and harassment which I went through, they will not even think of looking at the society again. I have nothing to gain. I have completed all my tasks. Whatever thinking process I started in my life I have taken it to its logical conclusion, experienced it, realized it, digested it; I am living it. I have nothing left uncompleted; whether it is intellectual thought or desire or fear or anything I started in my life; I have reached its fulfillment. That is what I am saying - that liberated from prarabha, completion of prarabdha. I have completed. I have nothing more to gain.
But even with that the tremendous patience I got at least two questions yesterday in Inner Awakening. Swamiji you said in your morning satsang you completely lost respect for society, then why so much compassion to teach? Understand I have compassion to society because I want them to become what I want them to become. I lost respect because what they are. I have compassion because they can become what I want them to become. With so much of abusal and harassment I have a tremendous patience to sit, sit through and pass through and stand up again just because I have completed all my logical thoughts to its conclusion. Anything I started I have taken it to its end. 13:39 Understand always end is restful awareness because the beginning is restful awareness. In the end if there is no restful awareness, be very clear you have not reached the end. You are stuck. You are standing looking at a sign board thinking as destination. No. Destination is always restful awareness. Just caught, caught in-between. See even if you are caught in-between and waiting for further progress…..great!! You are a seeker. Caught in between but using that opinions that conclusions to plan your life strategy, then you lost the only hope which you had in your life; that’s Master. Ignorance is cause of identification of the consciousness into matter; means all confusions.
Life is a simple management. If you know clearly about the strategy for your future, life just flows. I am telling you any thought you start, ensure that you reach its logical conclusion. Don’t be stuck in the half. Stuck thought is equalent to aborted child. If you bring an aborted child to the feet of the Master like how Parikshit was brought to Krishna, his touch, child can be revived; possibility is there. Means your pervert intellect can reach its logical conclusion; means restful awareness. But if you try to take that aborted child and throw it on the Master then you are in danger, you are in danger. It can never hit Master. It will come back to you with more danger and power.
Ignorance is the root cause of suffering. Take this as a today’s message. Any thought which you started is your child; the moment a thought happens in you, you are pregnant now. See that it grows, grows. You cherish it, nourish it and properly take it to a logical conclusion. Means grow it, deliver it, after delivering it see that it grows and becomes a matured adult. Or stop the very conception sorry the very conceiving process. You can do that by unclutching. Stop the very conceiving process by unclutching. If you already conceived, see that it is cherished, nourished, grows, delivered and becomes a matured child. Don’t have aborted child or after giving birth the immatured mentally retarded kids. It is dangerous for you.
I have seen people make certain strategy about their life without plugging holes in their logical thinking and get caught stuck. When they are stuck they become angry towards anything which is shining. Understand their anger does not really reach a logical route; whatever field they are in. Whoever is in front, throw anger on them, fire towards whom...ahh that and all I don’t know, fire first. Later on we will take care; we will face it later on. Now fire. Arey….. Which direction……who………..what……………why..........ehh I am telling………fire. Arey the rifle is facing towards you. I am telling why are you bothered about me, you and all that? Fire!!! That is what most of the time these intellectual perverts are doing. Then that fellow simply......that’s all……fire. And after falling on the ground………….ehh you should have told this is what is going to happen. That is what I am telling for last half an hour, but after falling on the ground what to do? Nothing can be done.
Let me define the ignorance again. Any thought you conceived and not taking it to its logical conclusion is ignorance. And not only stopping in between, using the ideas and conclusions which you derived by stopping in between as a strategy for your future and making decisions out of those inconclusive conclusions, intellectual perverted conclusions; using those things as a strategy for your future and making decisions about your future is the most dangerous, the most dangerous thing in your life. Ignorance brings suffering. If you just leave it as ignorance it will be an ignorance. If you start working based on the ignorance, those decisions, it becomes suffering; you are stuck with an intellectual perversion. Second you are using that perverted conclusion as a strategy for your further actions.
I just wanted to tell all these intellectual perverts - don’t act based on the logic which has not reached its logical conclusion. Whenever a logic reaches its logical conclusion it is restful awareness, non violence, non boiling, non arrogance, nirmana, nirloka, nirlabdha, niranjana, niraamaya and nirvikalpa. Of course it should have become an advaita. Intellectual perversion is the most dangerous poison, most dangerous suffering; the worst way of committing suicide. Please understand worst way of committing suicide is intellectual perversion. If this logical conclusion reaches its logical conclusion it would have become advaita. It would have become nirvikalpa, niranjana, niraamaya.
The ignorance which you are carrying inside is not an ordinary poison. So look into it very clearly. Work on it very strongly. Anything which is not complete in you, don’t allow it. Either burn it by unclutching from it or take it to its logical conclusion which is restful awareness. Don’t leave in-between because it can torture yourself and that is the worst way of committing suicide. Understand ignorance is cause of identification of consciousness as matter, matter as consciousness and responsible for all sufferings you have in your life.
Let you all achieve, experience, live, express and radiate the eternal bliss, Nithyananda.

Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. Today is Devotees Day; devotion the very life of devotees. If something else is part of your life, relax, you are not a devotee. If you think you are a devotee, be very clear devotion should be your life, very breathing, very core; not just an idea but the very core. Understand devotion can be an idea in your brain or just a superficial emotionalism or sentiment but I can tell you unless it becomes your breath, your prana, your life force, you can’t call yourself as devotee. Devotion, sacred sentiments, is a direct method direct way to liberation and enlightenment an intense experience of the ultimate.
I think whenever I try to talk about devotion I am stuck for words because it is an experience which can’t be shared by words. It’s melting of the heart, melting of the very back bone, melting of the very system, melting of the very source into the source. I dedicate this day to all the devotees stood by me just because of their devotion not because of any social expectation other reasons. Millions stood by me throughout this scandal just by their devotion, melted heart. I dedicate this day to them, to all of them.
Devotion is such once, even once if your core is touched it cannot go, it cannot leave you; it just transforms, it pulls you back. Ramakrishna says very beautifully. In Brindavan Banke Biharis temple every evening they throw rice and rice mixed with little abin to the peacocks so that they will eat and start dancing. So Ramakrishna says once that peacocks which eats little abin will never miss the next day timing; will be there sharp at that time because of that taste. Same way the devotion, once you taste it once you experience it you will be there next day morning again at 7.30; it is so sacred.
I have experienced it with Arunagiri Yogeeshwara. The very idea you and the object of your devotion is separate will disappear. You just do not know what to give, how to give, what to do. Still I when remember early morning I get up to go and see him, I look around all over the house and I always use to feel…… I used to read in the Ramayana that Ravana took the whole house in which Sita was when he kidnapped Sita. Actually in Tamil there is another one version of Ramayana; Kamba Ramayana. A great poet saint Kamba wrote that. When he wrote he did not translate some parts as it is in valmiki. Valmiki says just Ravana physically handled Sita, took her and put her in his flight and took it away; kidnapped. But somehow Kambar, that Kambar was not happy with that idea so he says that he lifted the whole house in which Sita was staying put it in his flight and kidnapped. So early morning when I wake up and get ready to go and meet Arunagiri Yogeeshwara, that is the way how I will feel. Can somehow I can take this whole house and give it to him. I even planned.
One day I took a chalk piece and marked my parents portion of the house and wanted to go and ask Raghupathy yogi, Raghupathy Yogi will do all kinds of this weight lifting and everything. He is a amazing yogic body; he will show visibly the power of yogic body. He will tie the iron rope in his chest and break it, blast it just by breathing and lift any size rock, just like that he will lift or he will roll. There is one huge rock in Arunachala hill which was rolled and at least some 200 feet it has rolled and stopped. Nobody knows how it happened. I know it is Raghupathy Yogi’s work.
One day we both were sitting and talking and he was telling, explaining one yoga sutra, when you feel one with nature, nature listens to you. I said how can that be? He asked me to feel one with the rock I just contemplated, meditated and I was feeling one with that rock; huge boulder. When I was in that ecstasy he just moved my hand; suddenly without telling me he moved my hand. I literally saw the whole boulder rolling. I did not touch. There is no physical contact with that rock, boulder; just that feeling one with that rock. When he moved my hand and that boulder started rolling. I started shouting Oh! Oh! What happened? What happened? What happened? What is happening? Stop, stop, stop. Then he stopped my hand and the boulder stopped. I think from that time only I started shaking people. That was the first object responded to my movement.
I actually wanted to ask him, can you lift this house and bring it and give it to Arunagiri Yogeeshwara. He was laughing. He asked me, ‘Why did you put a mark?’ I said I should take only my parent’s portion not anybody else’s. Anyhow early morning before going to the Arunagiri Yogeeshwara I will have one dhoti whatever I can look around and get, take it, I will pack, put everything and pack it and it will all be very silly. It will not be directly useful for him at all. But whatever I feel as useful in my life all this wooden box, cardboard box…… I make small, small temples with that only. I will make all that and he will laugh at me.
One day I wanted to stitch a shirt for him. I remember I took a measurement with a rope to stitch a shirt. He was laughing. Actually I called him you come to the tailor shop and give measurement I want to stitch a shirt for you. He said no, no, I will not come to tailor shop and all; you yourself take measurement and give it to tailor. We had one family friend tailor. He is a very good person. I said no, no he is a very good person. He will stitch and give you the right measurement and everything. Somehow that guy was, that Arunagiri Yogeeshwara said no, no, no. I don’t want to come. You take it and give the measurement. But finally it never got materialized. Never; because this tailor will ask no, no I want this measurement; get it. Next day I will bring that measurement, then he will tell no, no I want this measurement also; bring it. Finally till the end we were not able to take all the measurements and all. I was never able to give all the measurements so it never got materialized.
But I used to feel; whole day I will feel what can I take it to him? What I can get? You just do not know what to do. What way you can please him? What pleases him? What satisfies him? What fulfills him? You just do not know. Devotion is the sacred sentiment which makes you feel how can I please him. You know very clearly you can’t fulfill him. He is already fulfilled; but how can I please him? What I can do to please? How can I pour myself on him? That intense mood is what I call devotion.
I think I will leave you today with this one sentiment, sacred sentiment. Contemplate on it. This is my message for Devotee’s day. Imbibe, imbibe, imbibe…… just be soaked in this one sacred sentiment; ‘How can I please him’ to whichever object or deity or God or Guru you are devoted. Again and again and again soaking yourself in that sacred sentiment of how can I shower me on him and please him. Again and again and again soak yourself, fill yourself in this one sacred sentiment. You will melt in devotion. I bless you all to melt in devotion, experience fulfillment in devotion.
Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you. 15:49

I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees who are sitting around the world to create the eN effect at the same time. Just sit now with a deep unclutched mood. I am giving instruction to devotees sitting all over the world. You will see the intense eN effect created inside you within next few minutes. I am already connecting with all of you. I can see that you are all connecting with all of me; not just virtually, virtually. Los Angeles.... can you raise your hand... yes I could see... and San Hose... is already in the eN effect. Seattle.... yes... Columbus... Yes.... Houston... yes.... Dallas.... Toronto... Germany... wow... Turkey... great!!
Today is Healers Day. All over the world all our devotees, ashram centers celebrate Healers Day. Today’s subject is ‘Heal yourself and heal the cosmos’. Today we will do it literally. Let me define healing. This is exactly my message for Healer’s Day. Please understand I am telling you the honest, simple, straight forward truth. Yesterday I was reading a book American Veda, where they are thoroughly analyzing the Hindu gurus, Hindu philosophy, Vedic tradition’s influence on America. They are analyzing from very critical angle all the book contributions and the great contributions of gurus and the scandals happened around them. How some survived, some did not. They are analyzing the whole cumulative effect of all this on the American civilization, the American mind.
When I was going through it was shocking to see the amazing impact done on American psyche, American consciousness, by the handful of babas and gurus and swamis; without an organized network; even with so much of scandals being systemically created around them. Then I contemplated the whole night what can, can be the reason? Without a proper, amazing, organizing structure or a friendly network among them self how could they create such huge impact on the American consciousness? I realized, I can say reconfirmed my realization that Vedic tradition does not need a marketing department. The strength of the philosophy, the strength of the truth, puts anybody into the throne, if they just decide to represent it as much as they understand, that’s all. I tell you, you don’t need to do anything. How much you understand represent that part; that’s enough.
If you understand only ritual part, pouring ghee on that fire, you don’t know anything else, you represent that part; you will be in the throne. Because the Vedic tradition is time tested, fool proof. Anything you understand represent that, you will be sharing a strong honest truths with the world. If you understand only washing and clothing the deities; you don’t know anything else but you can wash some deity morning till evening and cloth them properly, put food in front and wave incense sticks, you are good at it, you understand only that part of the Vedic tradition, you don’t know anything else; just represent that. You will see the power of that tradition puts you in throne.
Or you don’t understand washing the deities or pouring ghee in the homa, you only just understand a few Sanskrit words, you can repeat like a parrot, you will read from some Upanishad or from some purana and repeat like a parrot. That is enough, represent that. You will be transforming thousands. Or you don’t know any of these creative things like a pouring ghee in the fire or pouring water on the deity or pouring some words on your disciples which you may, may not have understood. You know only one thing; left and right you can criticize everybody. Start even that. Because I saw when I was reading yesterday that book American Veda, some of the gurus have become great popular gurus, well known gurus not by their contribution just by their power of criticizing.
Vedic tradition is so powerful anything in any small dimension any way you understand, the moment you represent that tradition, it puts you in throne because the tradition is so powerful, fool proof, time tested. Understand I am giving you the essence of the tradition without any manipulation, interpolation, interpretation or the stuff added for marketing. Usually in all huge equipments there will be a small in one corner, there will be a small ring attached so that you can pull and push; easy handling. Same way whenever truth is delivered by some organization or organized gurus, there will be one ring attached for the sake of sales, easy marketing. Here I am giving you the honest truth without the ring of easy marketing attached; as it is.
Please understand the truth as it is I am sharing with you; the secret of healing the essence of healing, the definition of healing. Just BE; you will heal your body and people who are around you and the whole cosmos. Please understand just BE; nothing else. Be in your body. As on now you know one thing you are having a body and you are aware of having a body. You are being aware of having a body. Please understand just be inside what you think as your body; that’s enough. You may think what is this? That is what we are doing. No. You think you are inside your body. You are never inside your body. Be inside your body. First thing will happen to you is you will heal that intense pain and battered consciousness you are carrying. When you decide to be inside your body the power of present moment will work on you. Power of the present moment always heals your system. That is why I am telling you again and again and again I am reminding you just come back to your body. Just be. Even now decide, till the end of this satsang decide you will be heavily present, intensely present in your body. You will see healing happening in you.
BE; just be in your body intensely. Suddenly you will see the compassion bio memory, intelligence bio memory, awareness bio memory all of them are kindled awakened in you for no reason because BEING is the right button you need to push. Be intensely inside your boundary, inside your skin in this moment. You will really see your body, mind, inner space, gets intensely healed; nothing else need to be done. Anything else is a ring attached to the gadget for easy pulling and pushing. To heal the cosmos and to heal yourself you don’t need anything else; just BE.
Biggest problem biggest problem is we think that BEING is too simple or too difficult. Don’t decide it is too simple and think it will not bring the result. No!! Don’t think it is too complicated because you failed last few times and stopped making effort. No!! Neither thinking it is too simple it will not bring effort, bring the right effect on you nor thinking it is too complicated it will not be possible for you, is going to help you. Just try to be in now. If you are not able to do after half an hour forget about it; it’s ok. Now for the next half an hour all of you have decided to be around me. Decide just to spend this time BE. Once you catch the taste of being just BE I don’t need to inspire you continuously. I don’t need to give sermons to put you into the vedantic experience. No. Your very living will be healing you and the cosmos.
Just BE that is what I am talking for last ten years with various different words. Whether I talk about chakra, kosha, sharira, unclutching, whatever I talk finally I land on this one truth just BE; nothing else. Just BE what you think as your body. You will see the powerful effect on you. I can tell you being is the best technique less technique, process beyond all the process, meditation beyond all the meditation. What Buddha describes as TATHATA easeness, what Shankara describes POORNA fulfillment or fullness what I describe as UNCLUTCHING or NITHYANANDA the whole thing boils down to BE; JUST BE.
Understand my message on the Healers Day to all the healers who belong to Nithyananda sampradaya and all the healers who belong to all the traditions, all the different religious, spiritual, ancient mystical traditions and all the healers who belong to modern day traditions; whoever is in the field of healing the body and mind of all the beings in the planet earth, my message to all of you is just BE; even if you are allopathy doctor. Just learn how to be in your system. The effect of healing, the effect of healing you create on your patients will be intense, amazing, surprising and positively shocking. Whether you are a medical professional or psychological healer or spiritual healer whatever healer you may be, whatever way you may be healing body, mind and the spirit of the planet earth, add this one simple truth in your life. Just learn to BE, you will heal yourself and the world. Even if you are not in the field of healing if you want to heal yourself and the cosmos I am giving you this process of technique; JUST BE. Intense compassion will start oozing out through your very system. Nothing, nothing can help you and the world like the intense compassion. I can say intense compassion which oozes out when you are just in BEING is the sarva roga nivarani; cure for all diseases in the world.
The first message I sent to all the devotees all over the world who are gathering at Tiruvannamalai, please understand this is my message to all the devotees who are assembling in Tiruvannamalai to celebrate my birthday, my Jayanti on 29th December; have deep love, patience and compassion. During this largest religious persecution happened in this year, throughout this religious persecution we proved our integrity and our strength just because of our compassion, love and non violent approach towards this whole scandal. In hundreds of places thousands of our devotees have been physically verbally attacked abused; but we proved our strength by non violence and by patience. I request all our devotees to adopt the same method of patience and nonviolence. Even if you are physically mentally abused don’t attack them back. Retain your patience. Remain in the honest, integrated compassion. 21:42 Please understand when I say integrated compassion I mean compassion intellectually understood and digested; not just the compassion of fear. Sometime compassion can be shown if you are not interested in participating in life. You just want to move away from life. That can be projected as compassion. No. You are all going to participate in the program. You are not going to escape, move away from life; but you are going to show intense integrated compassion. Please understand this is my message to all the devotees who are gathering from all over the world. Radiate intense peace, silence, patience and intellectually integrated compassion. I tell you learn the art of being, science of being, extraordinary compassion will be expressing through your system, extraordinary love will be expressing through your system, extraordinary understanding about life will be radiating through your system. You will heal yourself and the cosmos. I can say this is the essence of Vedic tradition.
When I was reading that book American Veda I understood how systematically the Hindu Gurus and Masters are pulled and scandals are created around them. How the whole unit is dedicated to do this job full time funding the right people sorry wrong people, inserting them into an organization, making them feel frustrated. Even those people who are funded and supported by the particular groups do not know they are inserts. They just feel they are doing an honest service of what they experienced. It is such a dirty system of destroying an amazing, thousands of years old tradition. It is time all the Hindu gurus, swamis, religious leaders belonging to the Vedic tradition wake up!!
I am giving you the wakeup call after studying thoroughly, not only studying, going through with a strong I can say one of the largest scandal and religious persecution happened in the recent times. I am talking to all of you addressing all the healers around the world who belong to the Hindu tradition or who have received the inspiration from Hindu tradition and the devotees, disciples, followers, practicing Hindus, I request and call on all of you. It is time to wake up and stop this continuous onslaught on Vedic tradition and Vedic gurus and continuous scandals created on Vedic tradition and Vedic gurus.
It is time we all stand up to heal the world. If not I am afraid the very science of healing will disappear from the planet earth, which will be too costly; too costly. It is time we wake up and send a message of compassion, healing in a non violent way to the whole universe, whole planet earth in a systematic, organized, non violent, but strong way; strong way as huge spiritual wave. So I request all the devotees around the world, now I will sit with you all for three minutes just Be. Let us create the intense effect on your body and on the world. Let’s heal us and the cosmos.
Please just close your eyes and just be; unclutch and be; no need for any mantra, meditation, nothing. Just unclutch and BE. I will see that all of you experience the intense eN effect. As the part of the eN effect you may experience physical or psychological levitation, peace, bliss, anything; just allow it. Let the eN effect happen on all of you and the cosmos. Let us heal the cosmos. Sarvo janah sukhino bhavantu......
Let the intense eN effect happen in the cosmos. Let all the auspicious energies unite and positively explode awaken the cosmos spiritually. Om....... om........ om………. hreem.......... om...... hreem........ omhreem........ omhreem....... om........om shanti shanti shantihi. 31:57 Let the whole world be blessed with this cosmic auspicious energy. Let us all heal us and the world by just by being. 32:19

Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. Today is Mothers Day; the day we dedicate it to the divine feminine consciousness, mother energy. Feminine worship the mother worship is the unique contribution of Vedic tradition to the spiritual civilization. Please understand all the spiritual groups all over the world put together is what I call spiritual civilization. The spiritual civilization is present and part of all major religions. In all major religions the spiritual civilization exists, the spiritual groups spiritual communities exists. But the contribution of mother worship to all that spiritual civilization, please understand all spiritual groups in all religions have mother worship in some way or other.
All religions has two parts; one the spiritual fruit and religious nut. The religious nut part is always in the masculine power and it is masculine based but the spiritual fruit part is always with the feminine worship, Devi worship. All spiritual groups, civilizations, has this mother worship and that contribution, that mother worship, that very concept, that very truth is from Vedic civilization; Vedic tradition. All the rivers all the sacred things of the nature everything is feminine for us. In the US all these cyclones and natural calamities have been, are always being named feminine. In Bharat we would have done opposite. All the sacred things of the nature we name it feminine. All the things and energy which creates we name it in a feminine way. So understand the mother worship is the great contribution to the spiritual civilization by the Vedic tradition from the Vedic tradition.
My message for Mother’s Day is whatever you mother you will become that. If you are mothering violence, anger, low self esteem, you will become that. If you are mothering super consciousness, highest truths about you, you will become that. So decide on Mother’s Day to mother cosmos in you. Start mothering cosmos so that you will become cosmic mother. If you mother the cosmos you will become mother of the cosmos. The only way to become mother of the cosmos is mother the cosmos; continuously mother cosmic consciousness inside you by unclutching. Live these great truths by mothering it again and again and again. Mothering cosmos is what I call unclutching; unclutching from ordinary things so that you can mother cosmos inside.
The essence of mother worship is mothering cosmos in you. I myself basically a Shaaktha; mother worshipper. I myself became enlightened only through the Shaaktha tradition; the mother worshipping tradition. Because nothing suits your bio memory more than mother worship because your whole bio memory is from mother. When the path is through that mother’s form, your bio memory suddenly falls in tune and the whole progress is very quick fast. Always the energy expression happens only in mother worship. In all other bhavas, attitudes, it takes lot of time to experience the energy expression. Its Matru bhava, mother worship, makes the energy experience very quick and strong. You may be in the body of a female or body of a male but if you start mothering the cosmos inside you, you will become cosmic mother.
One of the biggest problem I have is, I can’t speak on all my favorite subjects. The moment I start speaking so much comes out; huge traffic jam in the throat. I'll today take up one aspect of mother worship in Vedic tradition. We have something called dasa maha vidya means ten different dimension of mother worship in Vedic tradition. Kali, Tara, Bhuvaneshwari, Shodasi, Chinnamastha, Dhrumavati, Kamalatmika, Matangi, it goes on; ten different aspects or dimensions of the divine feminine consciousness is worshipped. If you see each form of those ten different dimensions, it represents one great principle.
Kali the principle of enlightenment; means if you see her she is the embodiment of cosmic causal body from where everything comes out; dark color and holding knowledge sword in one hand and the severed ego head in another one hand, giving abhaya and varada and wearing many severed heads on the, as a garland. If you continuously destroy your ego with the knowledge sword it will come up with different, different heads. All the different heads which are severed she wears as garland and the final blow given to the ego, the final head which is destroyed, she holds in the hand; symbol of enlightenment. When the ego is finally destroyed, cut from that head, the sahasrara amruta the knowledge nectar the nectar of bliss overflows. That is what all our disciples dogs are drinking. When your ego is cut by the knowledge sword she gives the boon and protection; abhaya is protection varada is boon.
In Vedic civilization how many people are there that many Gods we need. That is why we put 33 crore Gods because at time 33 crore was the world’s population. And we need more and more gurus and spiritual leaders to inspire more and more people and elevate them to higher and higher consciousness. I tell you whatever you understand in Vedic tradition start sharing with world. It will do good to you and to the world. There is no such thing as fake guru and right guru.
Giving abhaya and varada is Hindu tradition. Giving abhaya and varada is a Hindu tradition. Kali is embodiment of abhaya and varada. See I don’t do materialization. But I never criticize any guru who materializes. I know through their body that power is expressing, through my body it is not expressing. So I am very clear. I understand my uniqueness what expresses through my body. I don’t compare. I am very clear the great contribution they are doing. All I am feeling is, in the Rama’s bridge, like a squirrel if I can add few particles of stone or sand, that’s enough. This Vedic tradition is Rama sethu; nobody can destroy. Bhakti; Hanuman, is still protecting. In this Rama sethu all these great Masters are adding whatever way they can like Angada, Jambhavan, all those big warriors; I am trying to add something like a squirrel; that’s all. I am very clear about what I can add.
The common enemy is collective negativity, violence, religious intolerance. So much of common enemy is there. Let us all gather together and finish that common enemy. Only Hindu tradition can claim living yogis who don’t do just tricks, who really express siddhis. I declare to all of you, to the whole world, the gurus who materialize like Saibaba Bangaru Adigalar and all of them are pride of our Hindu tradition. Just because I don’t do, does not mean people who do should be criticized. I don’t do I have my own reasons; that’s all. Masters who give boon like Kalki are the pride of Hindu tradition. I declare. Now I am telling all of you, anybody who attacks any guru I am going to stand for them. Any guru is attacked I'll stand for them; whether it is social, verbal oral, moral; any attack. I am defending Saibaba, I am defending Amrutanandamayi, I am defending Bangaru Adigalar I am defending Kalki Bhagavan.
We need to understand so much of depression is there in the cosmos, in the humanity; so much of suffering is there. It is time let us all stand together and help the humanity to go through the transition. All right, Kali, I think kali is expressing herself, Tara, Chinnamastha all these are great expressions of different aspects of enlightenment. Mother worshipping tradition is enlightenment based tradition. It is not social laws. Understand always the masculine part of the religion is socio politico laws. What you should do, how many time you can marry, how many times you can eat, how many times you can do this, this, this, this. But the feminine part is enlightenment based tradition. All the secrets of enlightenment is kept in the feminine worship traditions. So whatever religion you may belong to, explore the feminine worship tradition part of that religion. You will become enlightened. This is the key. I give you.
Why do you think I added Anandeshwari in the same murti? Because…. actually people ask me Swamiji you could have put Devi murti separately. I said no I am afraid later on some of my sanyasis may move her out or cover her with a cloth. That is why I decided both will be in same murti; inseparable. They should not be able to separate it. Because all the traditions which has become monastic based, the monk based, removed the mother component from the original source. I do not want that to happen that to my tradition. That is why I put Devi in the lap itself and took care always Shiva is holding with one hand. Because usually this socio political laws the masculine part takes over and the feminine part gets destroyed. The spiritual truths I don’t want that to happen to my tradition. Mother worship is the source of enlightenment based spiritual traditions.
So take this as my message. Mother the cosmos you will become cosmic mother. I bless all to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you. 21:09

2011 Nithyananda Birthday Message
DATE: January 1st 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 48:57
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. My message for this year 2011 is ‘Sharing Enlightenment’. In 2009 Living Enlightenment; I initiated, started initiating people to live enlightenment; jeevan mukti. In 2010 we taught people how to radiate enlightenment. We literally taught how to radiate enlightenment during all possible struggles and abuses. I am so happy all of you…… if you have been here last year this same day and you are here this year same day, be very clear you radiated enlightenment. Because last year I really got into very practical not just teaching through words, words, words and telling them face all insecurity, face all negativity, stand through the negativity. I saw people listen, don’t live. Then this year we know only who had the guts to live through the negativity and clear the negativity, only who are able to radiate enlightenment are here back. Now you guys are really ready. Let’s move to the next step sharing enlightenment. Let’s start sharing enlightenment. This whole year let us dedicate it to sharing enlightenment.
Let me define sharing enlightenment. Please understand enlightenment is a constant happening, happening in all of us. For an example, one day you overeat and feel dull and decide not to overeat from next meal. It is an enlightenment and you feel the cloth is hurting you, you loosen it adjust it or decide to wear better clothings next time which will not hurt you. It is enlightenment. Chappal is hurting, you decide Oh I should not be wearing this and change it. It is enlightenment. And you feel some particular thoughts constantly harasses you, haunts you, depresses you and you decide let me not have it again or let me know how to handle it again if it comes back; let me unclutch or let me disclutch or let me destroy. This is enlightenment. When there is useless people are around you in the name of devotees and disciples just get rid of them. That is enlightenment.
I tell you constantly enlightenment is happening in all of you. Every moment the updating happening in your body, mind, emotion, consciousness is enlightenment. If you decide oh I am having back pain and knee pain today, tomorrow I will do yoga and see that my body becomes strong. It is enlightenment. So any furtherance towards the super consciousness is enlightenment. Even keeping your body comfortable is enlightenment. Understand whenever you add luxury to your body you are destroying it you are not keeping it comfortable. If your clothes are hurting and you are deciding to wear better clothes which does not hurt is enlightenment; means keeping it comfortable. But when you add luxury you add something’s which will not keep your body and mind comfortable or happy forever. That is luxury. That is not enlightenment. Understand anything which furthers your body, mind, emotion, consciousness towards the super consciousness, the ultimate is enlightenment.
So this year decide every experience which enlightens you, decide you will share it at least with one person; at least with one person. Every idea which clicks your inner world in your inner world, which awakens your being, which raises your awareness, raises your consciousness, decide, you will have somebody at least one person you will share it. Every step be intense, sincere, honest, integrated, share enlightenment. You will see completely new door opening in your life. Sharing enlightenment is million times greater than living and radiating. I tell you this year we are going to have such a strong positive explosion, it is going to be million times more than living enlightenment year and radiating enlightenment year. I am telling you really sharing enlightenment is going to do a great wonder for all of us and Dhyanapeetam and to the whole world; ultimately whole universe.
Share enlightenment in every possible way. Sharing just Masters spiritual book or one truth about the Master or one truth you learnt from the Master, one enlightening experience you had from the Masteror healing; any whatever possible way. I opened millions of ways for you guys. Just share any one concept. Just pick it up; one truth from one morning message share it with somebody; just one person at least a day. Understand just for sharing you will naturally live and radiate. Living is in the inner world, radiating is inner world and muscle memory, sharing is inner world, muscle memory and to the whole world. Understand, let’s take living enlightenment and radiating enlightenment one step further; sharing enlightenment.
Be intense, sincere, whatever possible way pick up the spirit intensity and integrity from your super consciousness. With that strength, share enlightenment continuously. Create as many centers as possible, as many temples as possible, as many paduka mandirs as possible; paduka mandir means having the padukas in the house, as many ghar mandirs as possible means home temples; ultimately as many heart temples as possible. Build millions of heart temples and lakhs of ghar mandirs home temples, thousands of vedic temples common temples; at least few hundred fully enlightened beings who can share enlightenment with the world. We will create all this, this year 2011 because it is going to be a stepping stone year for us; preparation for the 2012 to push the whole world into super consciousness.
Share enlightenment in all possible ways. You don’t need to now bother at all. Now whole world knows my name. Whole world knows my name. All you need to do is just remove their misunderstanding and add the right understanding; that’s all. I have made your job very easy. So understand share enlightenment with tremendous compassion, tremendous love, tremendous integrity; I am telling you honestly when you start sharing enlightenment, somehow, really whatever the knots and the samskaras and granthis with which you are suffering, all that will be broken immediately because that only will be first hit. If you have the inhibition go and start talking to people about me you will be beaten left and right and inhibition will disappear; may not be physically but verbally. But by the time you stand that verbal abuse and convince them your inhibitions will be broken; you are a new man, you will be sharing enlightenment. 13:56 Master does training in two way; internal and external. Till 2009 I was doing only internal training. In 11, I started this new amazing training; external also. See earlier you wear mala for your spiritual reasons, over. Now you wear mala and everybody will question. By answering, answering you become clear; you are trained now to share enlightenment. Stand strong and let us share enlightenment. It is time we share enlightenment. Take this as my message very intensely, sincerely. This is my message to all the devotees, disciples, samajis, followers, seekers, brahmacharis, brahmacharinins, vanaprasthis, sanyasis, sanyasisinis and everybody who is directly indirectly connected to Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam. This year let us dedicate just for sharing enlightenment. Let us share our understanding, experience, everything, whatever auspicious thing we have, let us share with the world. Let us share with the world. Create beautiful world by sharing enlightenment.
It is time we decide to share enlightenment very sincerely and take it up as a spiritual practice; not just social service, as a spiritual practice. I invite as many of you as possible to dedicate this year as many ways as possible. If some of you have strength and intensity I even request you to take off this one year from all other work and dedicate it. Let us all stand together. It is time to save planet earth in whatever possible way. Let us stand together and share enlightenment with the world. If you can’t take off the whole year at least part time. If you can’t take off even for part time full days at least evenings whatever way you can, take time off and whatever possible way share enlightenment with the world. Nothing, if you just sit everyday send some 5000 emails of my morning message or our YouTube channel even that is like a squirrel service in the Rama Sethu. In whatever way you can spread, spread, spread and share enlightenment because we need to prepare the world, planet earth for 2012.
Understand now itself I am giving you the message for 2012 also. 2012 message is spreading enlightenment. Share so that it prepares your body, mind and everything to spread. So now learn sharing. Let it be a preparation for 2012 spreading. When we are in the 2012 we need to spread much more faster than any tsunami, any forest fire, any natural calamity. Only then we can stop the natural calamities. We need to spread positivity much faster than any natural calamity, only then natural and manmade calamity, only then we can save the planet earth from natural and manmade calamities in 2012. Let us prepare all of us and the world by dedicating this whole year for spreading enlightenment; for spreading enlightenment.
I am really, really, really happy that all of you, all of us withstood one of the largest religious persecution of this modern day modern times. I am proud of you all for withstanding this whole thing, with so much of patience and non violence and standing up with me, standing up together for sharing enlightenment. Neither you all have been violent nor you all have left. People who have been violent did not listen to my teachings, people who have left did not even listen to me; not only my teaching they did not listen to me at all in any way and people who neither behaved violently nor left, who stood strongly, you are all the gems, diamonds I was searching for. You are all for the people for whom I was, I am, I will be in the body freely doing my mission. I welcome all of you with my heart and being. Let us all share enlightenment with the world. Let us all share enlightenment with the world. Do it with a deep compassion.
I tell you I wanted to tell all of you, today morning I saw during the procession, one so called ex devotee; means during the scandal because of the emotional imbalance could not stand by us or sangha, left, but could not forget, leave me, could not….. Today morning I saw one so called ex devotee in the procession. See the…. with burqa with full burqa; not inside our campus, that’s the funny part. The procession, I just saw, looked and first I couldn’t understand, I thought somebody from the local village from Ramnagar some muslims have come, so they are standing there for my blessings. I was in the palki so I can see lot more than what you guys can see,. Beyond the compound also I can see. I saw and the moment I saw the height and the shape I know who is the person. And then only the eyes were open the tears were rolling in the eyes. I just did this. I don’t know whether air or the person wanted, burqa opened and I just gave a smile and I could see, I could see very clearly the tears and she just fell in the same spot and took the dust and stood up. And see that emotional turmoil during the scandal could not stand with the sangha, left, but could not leave me. So I could see the hands folded and said the words. Of course I was not able to hear the words because of too much of sound and music and just only the idea I could catch, that feeling; I can’t forget or be without seeing. Then I smiled. By that time palki left, the person has left, because the person cannot see all our devotee sangha.
I know I am showing you one example of that person. But like this there are so many, so many who feel that they missed but could not come back because of ego. I tell you all, I tell the whole sangha, please understand, have open arms and heart and welcome everybody. Whoever comes do not have any hatred anything. If they have just missed one step, no, don’t worry. Whoever comes welcome them share enlightenment with them. Have tremendous love and compassion for people; after all human beings after all human beings. See finally the person could not come inside our campus, just saw from the distance and left. The person is not here now. The person just after the darshan just left. I don’t know how long she was standing there just for that one glimpse. So unfortunate! Not needed!
I am sending this message to everybody. Whoever wants to come back I am here with open heart, open arms and open being. I welcome you all and I am and my sangha is ready to share enlightenment with all of you, with all of you. Please understand I am telling all our devotees and disciples, lets radiate more compassion, more sympathy, more healing energy and more supporting energy and heal the whole world. It is time to heal the whole world and share enlightenment with the world; not only healing let us share enlightenment also. So understand it is time we stand together we give strength to each other. It is time we share our strength with the world, share our enlightenment with the world. Give our deep compassion love and support to everybody, everybody.
Understand, who has hurt let us not bother about that but healing is our job, our life, our responsibility. Let us heal and support everybody even if they have cherished enmity towards us at some part of their life. Now I am updating even if they cherish enmity towards us even now, let us share our compassion, healing and enlightenment with all of them, even those who cherish enmity towards us even now; because compassion, love, enlightenment is more powerful. It will destroy enmity. Light is more powerful than the darkness. Super consciousness is more powerful than unconsciousness. Love, light, non violence, compassion, enlightenment are all more powerful than any negativity. Let us share enlightenment destroy enmity, not enemies. If you just destroy enemies you will have more and more. Some where some more people will be happening. Let us destroy enmity itself so that…… Don’t destroy enemies destroy enmity so that we radiate enlightenment share enlightenment with the whole world forever. Let us share enlightenment and destroy enmity not enemies. When you destroy enmity naturally the enemy, the enmity in enemy disappears. Understand then naturally he becomes friend and devotee.
So this whole year let us dedicate for sharing enlightenment. It is time we receive with open arms and heart even those who showed enmity towards us. Let’s share enlightenment. See I felt all she was feeling, the morning that person who came with burqa and who left, I was feeling she is I could see very clearly she was feeling all alone. But I send a message, surely I know for sure she is watching this satsang now or she will be watching it the moment it is uploaded. I am sending you the message, direct invitation. I am here with open arms and heart to receive you and share enlightenment with you. Nobody needs to feel lonely. Nobody needs to be alone. So I invite and welcome, ready to share enlightenment even with the people who showed enmity. So please understand it is time we open our heart, we open our whole being to support the whole world and the whole universe. Share enlightenment intensely in all possible ways with the world.
Please understand this campus is world living around me. When you carry this enlightenment and start sharing in your own way, creating a center in your house or temples in your places; me living around the world. World living around me is one and me living around the world is another one. Let the world live around me, I will also be living around the world with you all. Share compassion intensely, share love intensely, share your heart intensely, share enlightenment intensely in all possible ways.
I thank all those who stood by us last whole year with so many different kinds of struggles. I remember, recall, thank all of them who stood by us and millions of ways the sacrifices everybody did; all our devotees, disciples in thousands of ways whether it is a mental abusal, verbal abusal or the suffering in physical way, mental way, economical way, social way, millions of you have suffered in millions of ways by the societies negativity and the unconscious harassment and abusal. I thank all of you for going through everything and standing with a deep devotion and sacrifice with me, by me, for me and the sangha. I honor all your love, respect, devotion, commitment for me and I give you all my commitment. I am standing with you all forever in all possible ways. Every one of you went through so much but stood strongly with me against all the negativities. I welcome you all.
I am just picking up, selecting words to describe all the sacrifices all of you did; whether my swamis or brahmacharis or vanaprasthis or devotees or disciples or ashramites or whoever. I am just picking up words to describe. All right…..sacrifice is the only word. I don’t know any better word. Sacrifice is the only word the tyaaga, tyaaga, tyaaga is the only word. As Upanishad says Tyagenaike amrutatvamanasu. It is because of the tyaga, only through the tyaga the eternal bliss the eternal state is achieved. The tyaga is so great all of yours, the surprising thing of that, the strength of the tyaga is they don’t even want to be named as tyagis. I wanted to name so many people especially Ranjita who is here with us now. But they don’t even want to be named. But some places I need to name. Of course all my sanyasis, all my sanyasinis, all the devotees, the sacrifice is so much they don’t even want to be named. They just want to be in one corner. But anyhow some places I need to name so that each one of you understand the sacrifice and the dedication with which all of you stood with me.
Understand when you know somebody else’s sacrifice then the sacrifice the tyaga is awakened in you. Just for that purpose sometimes I tell the names; nothing else. Understand I tell the name of the people who don’t want to be named. I never tell the name of the people who want to be named. If they want to be named then it is not sacrifice it is a business. Who doesn’t want to be named, withstood, sacrificed, I name them; because our devotees everyone need to understand each other’s sacrifice. When you know what others went through, you will realize oh! What I went through is less, leave it it’s ok.
So anyhow now it is time I welcome all of you and I promise and commit I will stand by all of you. Understand for each one me and my sangha will stand. Same way for each one me and others will stand. See for example for ‘A’ me and all others will stand. For ‘B’ me and all others including ‘A’ will stand and for ‘C’ me and all others including ‘B’ and ‘A’ will stand. This is the way the sangha stands. So for every one of you I give you the assurance me and my sangha will stand with you. Understand me and my sangha will stand with you for the amazing sacrifice.
I could see actually so many people the day before yesterday; sorry 29th…….. two devotees came with a traditional sacrifice ritual of piercing their mouth through a big trishul. It’s called alaga in Tamil; sacrifice. They said to protect Swamiji, to destroy all the negativity which is working against Swamiji to create positivity, we are sacrificing. We decide to bear pain. Patanjali says any decision to bear pain is tapas. Any decision to bear pain is tapas; whether it is physical or mental or emotional decision to bear pain is tapas. Ordinary villagers, ordinary villagers; and they are from Taramangalam. Ordinary two devotees deciding to bear pain; like this thousands….. of course even physical pain is ordinary the mental pain I know how many of our disciples, devotees abused left and right verbally. You all stood by me. You all stood by me and the sangha. I bless you all and I commit with you all that me and my sangha will stand by all of you and support you.
Ma yesterday I saw you telling in the interview you are a single woman fighting. No. Me and my sangha is with you. Understand it is not only for her. I am telling all the devotees who stood by me. Understand there are some moments where nobody else can stand with you. I will stand by you at those moments. Whoever stood with me I give you the promise I will stand by you all the time. There are moments where nobody else can stand; neither the family nor the money. Understand the zones where all these things cannot stand I will be with you. I will stand with you. Where only I can be there I will be there with you. Understand these are not empty words. I promise these words are solid, integrated, honest, truth.
Of course I can’t name. I think if I have to name, I have to name every name. I can see every name because how much you all would have gone through socially. Especially there are so many respected people. Socially how much you would have gone through how much of abusal people would have done to you. Ehhh you went to that Swami? See what is going on. I am so happy you stood with all that. Now go and tell……… you missed that Swami now what is going on….see. The latest proverb in Tamil is uttu pona ... gettu ponanda. Now go and tell all of them. You left that swami now see what is happening. He is literally blowing away people and giving enlightenment.
So... ok... hmm, it’s time we stand strongly with the strength and tremendous patience and healing energy. Let’s not be arrogant. Let’s not be in the mood of taking revenge. ohh.. you were talking against Swamiji no, see.... leave it poor fellows. You see, it was a social euphoria. So many were not able to stand, everybody was blown away in that euphoria. It’s ok. Let’s accept all of them. They are human beings, they are human beings. Hmm. And it is time we welcome and receive everybody and share enlightenment. Not only welcome and receive and share, go and inspire and share. It is time if Mohammed can’t come to the mountain, mountain should go to the Mohammed. There is a proverb. Its time if they can’t come here we should go there. So go round and share enlightenment in all possible ways. That is my message. This is my message for eN year e N Year 2011.
I bless you all to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you. 48:50
Ashtanga Yoga : PYS 89 Brahmacharayam-1
DATE: January 3rd 2010
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 53:26
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. We will continue from today on Patanjali yoga Sutras. From today next ten days I will be spending elaborate, I will be doing elaborate discussions, spending lot of time may be I will be talking on two three sutras; because from today next one week all the ashramites will have holiday from their department. Only the essentials will run; like kitchen, temple. All other departments can take off. Next one week we will concentrate on the spiritual accounting; means seeing what we achieved spiritually, how much we raised consciously in last one year, what way we can raise in this year. So every year we will dedicate the first one week of the year for spiritual accounting. So except the essentials we will wind up all the departments and rest. This is my instruction to all the ashramites all over the world; all the ashrams, temples, centers next one week only the essentials like temples, kitchen which we can’t shut down. All other possible departments without which we can survive, please shut down everything and next one week spend time in spiritual contemplation, in spiritual accounting; what we gained spiritually internally last year, this year what we can gain.
So from today I will be speaking maybe two or three hours. So devotees who are coming everyday online, live satsang, please note down from tomorrow make at least two three hours available every morning. I may speak on two three sutras and do the question answers. This itself this may be a full morning session. And take you guys to next level of spiritual awareness sharing enlightenment, next level of consciousness sharing enlightenment. I will prepare all of you this one week especially for sharing enlightenment.
Now it’s time we enter into the sutra; Patanjali’s yoga sutra, 89th sutra, second chapter 38th verse; a very powerful sutra beautiful sutra; Brahmacharya pratishtayam veerya labhaha; right sutra to start. Swami Vivekananda’s translation says by being established in continence the yogi gains energy. Swami Prabhavananda translates as when a man becomes steadfast in his abstention from incontinence he acquires spiritual energy. Swami Sachidananda translates as by one established in continence vigor is gained. 4:53 Let me give my understanding on brahmacharya pratishtayam veerya labaha. People usually ask me, what do you mean Swamiji you reading all those great masters like Vivekananda’s translation and then adding your own translation. You think yours is much better than theirs. Just two days before I heard got the question. See I am not saying mine is better or greater and all that. Maybe Vivekananda did not spend much time on this sutra or this scripture. Very casually he translated or he would have deputed that job to some disciples who would have done it very superficially. Then he would have commented it spending very less time. I am not saying theirs is lower or... no. All I am saying is fortunately I have more time to spend on these great books.
Unfortunately Vivekananda didn’t have battalion of disciples when he was doing all this work and no audio video recording possibility. Because if you see, the reminiscences says he spoke on Yoga Sutras in 1000 Islands Park in USA. Every day he conducted hours; it says that morning they will cook, only small group of people stayed around him. Morning they will cook and eat and then the sessions will start, go on till evening and they will have their dinner. It seems they used to have two meal. That’s what the reminiscences say. Then after the dinner again they will whole night it will go on till late night and they will go and rest for two three hours. But when you see the transcription it doesn’t look like a on each sutra he pondered for hours. So I feel because there was no audio recording or video recording facility, much was lost. So I just wanted some of the people who had this question to understand maybe he did not have much time to ponder or whatever he expressed did not get recorded completely. That’s all I feel.
Any how I have time. Fortunately I have audio and video recording facility and very fortunately I don’t need to travel to relate with the world because of video conferencing facilities. Actually exactly whatever I wanted is happening by this so called unfortunate scandal. See last one year I was talking I don’t want to travel here and there and waste time and this is only one body; rare phenomena. I don’t want to put the body into the risk of continuously putting it in the flight and in the cars and travelling; more travelling is more risk. So I always was thinking about it and last one year I was continuously talking about it. I don’t want to go around continuously just to give Kalpataru darshan and all that. I think we will have to find some way. Existence is just making everything.
So and another one thing; Master in a stable sangha is required in the initial time. In the initial time for a conscious regeneration movement to happen a Master in a stable sangha where he is available everyday at particular time for the community people means the sangha people, where he is available at particular time for the administration, where he is available at particular time for a common man, where he is available for a particular time for people who come for healing or blessing. That stability of the time and place is essential for things to evolve for the reproducible model to evolve.
See now whoever stayed last one year in our community can just replicate whatever we are doing in different places. Because now if I put you as in charge, head of a ashram, in charge of ashram, you know that morning wake up do samana yoga, come and do guru puja then give a morning satsang. If video conferencing available relay Swamiji’s message directly, if that is not possible at least take the essence of yesterday or day before yesterdays morning satsang and talk to people; share that idea in the language which people understand. If it is Hindi belt talk in Hindi, if it is a Slovakian belt talk in Slovakia, if it is a Russian belt talk in Russia Russian, continue. Then whole day take care of the other classes or sessions or administration, evening again come and sit for arati or unclutching session. And you have the whole day, you know the routine, you know what to do. These reproducible models who can share enlightenment happens only if a Master is available in one place intensely, clearly, in a particular time in a stable way. Fortunately we did that using this whole year. Last year we used; we did that.
You guys don’t know. Almost ten years I struggled to bring people to a stable routine. Now I can say I am successful, I am successful. Whole community, see 90% of the community comes and settles down for morning pada puja, no, even for the samana yoga. And even the 10% which is not here, he is at least having the idea something is going on, they are supposed to be here, they are not here. So they know at least next day they have to be here. So we have come to that stability which is a great achievement; not a joke, very great achievement. Every day some ideas are constantly put into the consciousness and at least till next 24 hours till you come back next day it goes on inside. It goes on inside.
You see understand the community life; the life of the life with the Master has become an intense enlightenment training just because of this morning satsang part. Because of the morning samana yoga and one solid truth being put inside your consciousness, even if you are busy with some other activity this stays inside you as like a undercurrent and goes on grinding you, grinding you, grinding you and polishing you, drilling you. I tell you the quality of the consciousness has drastically increased and exploded in last one year. No really, really. I am very happy about it. I am really, really happy about it. Now it is time we create this kind of intense people and educate them to go round and share enlightenment with the world. Legally strong, socially clear, technically savvy and spiritually enlightened; legally strong, socially clear, technically savvy, spiritually enlightened; these are the kind of people we want now to share the enlightenment with the world and I am really happy we are successful because of all the modern day gadgets available.
So from this week every day morning 49 countries can have live satsang with me through video conferencing. We are installing a unit, 49 countries can have live satsang, means two way satsang. They can ask questions. That’s the way I am planning now. I am planning after the video conferencing facility is established I will be pushing the satsang little early. I will make it to 6 so that you guys can finish samana yoga 5 to 6 and be here by 6 itself; because I wanted to do everyday 6 to 9; 3 hours these sessions and question answers from around the world everything; first morning three hours intense spiritual work. See during the inner awakening program we will have one hour morning satsang. So ashramites can go on with their routine. Whenever we don’t have any of that kind of programs we will have 3 hours morning satsang. I will speak on the deeper and deeper truths. Not only that we don’t need to stop with the one day one sutra. I can go on a day two three sutras so that I can complete this Yoga sutras and start Brahma sutras.
I wanted to start Brahma sutras next. Brahma sutra is actually science of sharing enlightenment. Understand Shiva sutra is science of living enlightenment, Yoga sutra is science of radiating enlightenment, Brahma sutra is science of sharing enlightenment. Brahma sutra will give you the technical strength, intellectual clarity to do the khandana mandana; means break the illusory logic. You see in the energy darshan, kundalini darshan, exactly what I do I just move your deep rooted arrogant ego for few moments and add the consciousness into your inner space. But unfortunately that ego tries to take over back. If we can do the kandana mandana to you means destroying the illusory logic, darkness, through the Brahma sutra, the ego which is trying to take over will not have any power; will not have any power. The darkness will not have any power. It will just be superficial, very relaxed. It will be only alive how much you need to run the body and mind for the day to day activity.
Like it will tell oh now your body is feeling little hungry please give food. You will go and eat. It will tell please give little water you will eat. I think I may be having back pain please can you lie down for next two hours. All right I will lie down. Little I think my eyes are little tired for four days we have not slept can you give rest for three hours. You will sleep, that’s all. That much only the ignorance will be alive. See having the ignorance to run just the body and mind is what we call living prarabdha; nothing more is there nothing else is there. That much will be there till the body drops; that nothing can be done. Till the body drops that much will be there. So nothing wrong with that. So this kind of an intense living happens when the khandana mandana vaadatas happens; means the khandana destroying the ignorant logic, destroying the abusive logic.
So we will use the time more and more to explore the deeper and deeper spiritual things and not only that we should also be aware in just last one year the number of hours, the knowledge we delivered to the world is equalent to the whole nine years. In last nine years see from 2000 I came to the public life. 2000 to 2009 how much we gave it to the world through YouTube, in that nine years what we gave equalent to that, just 2010 we gave it to the world. So this year 2011 three times more than what we contributed in last whole ten years; from 2000 to 2010 what we contributed means I think 1200 videos. This year just 2011 alone apart from that 1200 at least 3600 hours we will contribute. I will continue, continue, continue at least 3600 videos we will contribute to the world; three times more. And lets create and share the deep technical spiritual truths with the world because fortunately I have time and the science has all the gadgets like audio, video, archiving; all the facilities and the gadgets. Let us use everything and tell the world what we need to tell, what we need to share.
Todays sutra brahmacharya pratishtayam veerya labaha. My translation is going to be rebellious or revolutionary. That is the reason I gave such a long introduction; especially during this time me talking about brahmacharya. Understand Patanjali says brahmacharya pratishtayam veerya labaha means if you are established in brahmacharya you will have the tremendous strength, energy, vitality, vigor virility is acquired, gained. Let us do the reverse calculation. Don’t translate the word immediately. No. I don’t want to translate that word brahmacharya directly. I wanted to translate all other words. brahmacharya pratishtayam veerya labaha. Let’s translate the words veerya labaha means virility, vitality, energy is gained; energy. Labaha means gained. Pratishtayam means established. So brahmacharya the word should have some meaning in which if you are established you will gain tremendous energy. Is it not?
I am coming to the clear mathematical equation; if you translate the word brahmacharya as per the so called orthodox unconscious way - celibacy or suppression. I wanted to ask all the so called honest celibates. Can you really vouch honestly for the meaning veerya labaha. No. I am clear. I have seen millions of so called suppressed celibates. That is not going to calm, that is not going to justify the word veerya labaha. Then what is the exact meaning. It’s very technical and complicated. See not having physical relationship is one part of brahmacharya. But you need to understand important thing, a very important fact an important truth. How that is experienced? See just not having physical relationship means there are millions of handicapped people or people who have sexual diseases or problems, disorders. They all don’t have physical relationship. But do they have the veerya labha? Do they gain the energy? No. Then there is something seriously wrong in translating this word brahmacharya as superficially celibacy. No. Something need to be understood. We need to look in.
The word brahmacharya means living like a God. First thing need to be done is breaking the idea you are body. That is why Patanjali uses the word brahmacharya pratishtayam; established. I tell you, you cannot be established in brahmacharya unless you break the idea you are body. So the first thing need to be done is breaking the idea you are a body; not anything else. Please understand breaking the idea you are body is the first thing. So the word brahmacharya how it is translated plays a major role on the technique, understanding, path and destination.
Please understand just yesterday I was reading Aurobindo’s book on ‘On Nationalism’; very powerful book. I really miss Aurobindo. People like him unfortunately did not choose to stay in the body for a longer time. He could have chosen; because he is a yogi he is not just a vedanti. He is a yogi. Means he had mastery over the body. Still I really wonder why even people like Paramahamsa Yogananda who has mastery over body decided to leave the body so early. And just like Paramahamasa Yogananda’s body Aurobindo’s body did not get spoilt after he left the body. It took what to say that they took lot of time before doing the last rites and resting it all that, but even during all that period not a single symptom or the sign of death was there on his body. So he was a yogi who has mastery over the body.
Yesterday I was reading his book on ‘On Nationalism’. You may think when did I get time to read. Actually by 12 or 12.30 I finished the energy darshan and went round. Maybe around one o’clock I reached the room. To fall asleep it took around 3oclock for me. Till that, two hours I was reading this only, sitting and reading his book on ‘On Nationalism’. He uses a word divine, sorry he uses a very beautiful word; ‘only if you understand the Bharat’s divine origin you will be able to fulfill its divine destination’. Please understand only if you understand Bharat’s divine origin you will be able to fulfill its divine destiny. Same way only if you understand the word brahmacharya’s divine origin you will be able to fulfill its divine destiny. The word Bharat and word brahmacharya both are equally complicated and sacred and mystical. Just like Bharat Bharat is too complicated to be translated in one word, brahmacharya also too complicated to be translated by one word.
If somebody translates Bharat ... third world country or growing country or largest democracy; just like that only the celibacy the brahmacharya is translated into celibacy, continence, superficial words. You need to understand, you see, the not having relationship, physical relationship, yes it will be a part of brahmacharya no doubt. But that alone is not brahmacharya. These hanging clothes are part of chit sabha but that alone is not chit sabha. This hanging cloth cannot hold the chit sabha. If you are thinking oh these hanging cloths only are holding the roof then it is equalent to you thinking you are intelligent and because of you the department which you are having is running. You may be hanging cloth in the department where you are working; that’s all nothing else.
The word brahmacharya need to be understood. You need to understand the divine origin of that word, only then you can fulfill its divine destiny or destination. If the translation is wrong, then the technique, methodology, technology, technical understanding to achieve that state also will be wrong. That is why I am insistent let the word be understood as living like God; means every moment breaking the idea you are just body should be the technical knowledge and technique for brahmacharya. When that happens slowly you get established into brahmacharya. As a side effect of that establishment not having physical relationship happens. Then you can be initiated into brahmacharya or you can declare yourself as brahmachari.
Actually nobody else can initiate you into brahmacharya. Even I can initiate you only into the technique of brahmacharya. Only you need to declare yourself as brahmachari. Only in marriage you can give daughter, you can’t give brahmacharya. What a complete misconstrusion, misunderstanding, misunderstanding or wrong idea.... ehhhh. You can neither give brahmacharya to me nor you can declare me as brahmachari. I need to become established in brahmacharya and I need to declare to the world that I am brahmachari. I am just taking care that I don’t lose my honesty and integrity. I don’t get corrupted. I am really, really, really feeling that somehow this new batch which came after the scandal is highly fresh and new and intelligent. Somehow if these guys can retain without getting corrupted there is nothing like that. It will be a great achievement for these fellows for their personal spiritual growth.
See when the moment you decide to be celibate practically you don’t need anything from the world. You don’t need a separate room. You don’t need privacy. You don’t need to glorify your body. You don’t need to glorify your mind. You don’t need to glorify your identity. Understand all the, every sound which bird creates is nothing but a call for the female bird. Same way every action a normal man does whether making himself rich or making himself powerful, making himself intelligent, making himself glorious is nothing but the call for the female; that’s all. In different, different angle; that’s all; call for women. So when that part, major part is removed, suddenly you fall into the tremendous tamas, depression, non-doing. Understand if you don’t settle into the being but drop the doing you will fall into the tamas. The non doing should happen in you only after the non duality. After the understanding of non duality, non doing should happen. I have seen many people lying down whole day. Unless you work for non duality if the non doing happens in you, it’s a sin. Understand it’s a sin, it’s a tamas; depression.
So if the brahmacharya is translated as celibacy, then straight away you try to put yourself in non doing without having non duality. Please understand one of the worst thing happened to the monastic traditions all over the world after certain period, the monasticism becomes a social prestige for them. They forget about the spiritual growth and put all their energies to hold on to that brahmacharya vow, celibacy vow. That was one of the worst thing. Please understand first in the initial level they have the misunderstanding or wrong guidance if you take up, if become a celibate, you become enlightened. Then they get into that. After sometime they take some vows and all that and become public figures. When they become public figures after that, that identity becomes more important than their very enlightenment. So internally they are continuously constantly struggling to hold on to that vow than to the enlightenment. So that itself freezes their swadishtana the fear.
See you are supposed to be afraid of being caught in fear and greed, not even afraid you are supposed to be aware of not to be caught in fear and greed. Now you are caught in the fear of greed. Understand fear of being caught in the greed. Wow, ten times processed poison. It’s like you hate tamarind rice. One day because your wife gave the tamarind rice you hate and you get upset, divorce her in that anger just like how so many so called ex disciples divorced the Master in some anger. Of course that divorce and this divorce is different. It’s a conscious divorce and you escape from the house because of tamarind rice. You run around here and there, here and there, here and there and you don’t find any place to rest and you finally sleep under the tamarind tree, eat the tamarind fruit and stay under the tamarind tree. That’s exactly is what taking up celibacy vows and creating an identity out of it and after that the fear of being caught in greed holds the swadishtana and whole life in depression.
Ramakrishna says a failed sadhu is hundred times greater than successful grihastha, married man. With all my humble respect and gratitude and love to Ramakrishna, first time I differ with him in public. A failed grihastha will be thousand times greater and stronger in spiritual growth than a so called suppressed celibate; successful suppressed celibate. Because the belt he creates in Swadishtana, fear of being caught in greed will become so solid, the seeker needs to take at least ten more janma to break that belt. I tell you the whole Bharatn conscience is suffering with this suppression; you need to achieve brahmacharya. I am not saying no to it. Brahmacharya is the goal. But the right understanding of that word brahmacharya means living like a God; establishing yourself in non duality first, then the non doing. But if you put the non doing first, all possible perversions, all possible diversions, finally that image itself becomes a big head ache, not normal ordinary; big head ache.
We need to spend more time in this topic having more detailed understanding. See whenever a so called distractive thought related to celibacy is coming, if you try to suppress for enlightenment it becomes suppression. If you try to suppress because it will disturb your social identity, it will again become perverted suppression. If you handle, I am not the body, if the idea I am not the body is used to break that disturbing thought then it is brahmacharya. Understand I am defining clearly. When a disturbing thought which may wanted to break your celibacy when it raises in you, if you suppress it with the idea oh I have to have enlightenment, I don’t want this, then it’s a suppression or with the idea no, no, no it will disturb my social status or the social identity I am projecting to the world or my social stability then it is perverted suppression. If you feel no I am not the body, I am something beyond, I am just using this body to exhaust finish of all the prarabdha, this body and mind is just an instrument, if this understanding clicks with you and you establish yourself in brahmacharya, that disturbing thought goes away, you are a brahmachari.
I can say this is a subtlest techniques and clarity. The thought with which, the purpose with which, the idea with which brahmacharya is achieved is more important than the brahmacharya itself. Understand the idea with which, the clarity with which, understanding with which celibacy is achieved is more important than the celibacy itself. I think I am breaking one of the major blockage Bharatn conscience is carrying for last 10000 years. It is always taught the celibacy is more important than the idea with which it is achieved. That is why in some sampradayas, sadhus even cut their genitals. Cutting the genitals is not going to be making you celibate. No really they put a lock and key. They put a lock literally. That is not going to lead you to celibacy. No. 44:56 The method in which the celibacy is achieved is far more important than the celibacy itself. I can say this is my original, honest, integrated, straight contribution to the Bharatn Hindu Vedic tradition. With this one understanding if the scriptures are rewritten, revalued, reviewed millions of suffering and struggle which Bharatn conscience is having will be cleared. Bharat will be liberated. The Bharatn youth does not need to lose their identity to enjoy life. See the worst thing happened because of this one suffering and conspiracy misunderstanding, if the Bharatn youth wanted to chill out, if they wanted to spend some time, if they want to enjoy life, they have to ban Bharatn tradition. NO! Bharatn tradition is not against life. Bharatn tradition is not against life. You need to know it, you need to understand it, you need to realize it. So the way in which celibacy is achieved is more important than the celibacy itself.
That is why I am saying I cannot translate the word brahmacharya into celibacy. It has to be translated as living like God. Only if you live like God you will have the veerya labaha. You will have veerya labaha. And brahmacharya pratishtayam veerya labaha; being established in the consciousness of living like God, you achieve vitality and energy and you radiate it; that’s all. If this is the translation everybody knows, I am a brahmachari.
The other day one foolish journalist, not even foolish, cunning reporter, he was asking me are you a renunciant. I just looked at him and said do you know the meaning for it? I said as per the, there is millions of definitions for renunciant. As per my definition as per the accepted definition of the Vedic tradition I am not only a renunciant ...................Doesn’t know the A B C of renunciation. These guys are talking about renunciation to me. That idiot I know for sure straight would have gone to the bar after the press meet. By seeing his body I can see it is a beer belly. Without beer or brandy he can’t sleep. This idiot is talking about renunciation to me. ehhh .... ehhhh. People won’t even laugh through mouth.
So Patanjali very clearly says brahmacharya pratishtayam veerya labaha, means the vitality, energy is gained. Any process if the energy is not gained, please understand in suppression you will become only more and more and more dull. I have seen if you understand the meaning of brahmacharya is living like God you are Paramahamsa, you will make people as Paramahamsa. If you misunderstand brahmacharya as ordinary just celibacy you will be in parama himsa and you will make people as, you will give parama himsa. Whether you are a Paramahamsa or in parama himsa this one word will decide. The understanding of this one word will decide whether you are a Paramahamsa or you are in paramahimsa.
I tell you being celibate for social reasons is the parama himsa; worst hell. I know some of these guys they take up celibacy in some reason. I have seen one guy; I asked him why you became swami. He was a swami for twenty years. He said I saw all this buildings I thought in this whole ashram only twenty people are there. So if I become swami at least I will get one building as a share. No there are fools who became celibates for building. Instead of building celibacy they became celibates for building. In that kind of celibacy there is no veerya labaha. There may be dhana labaha; dhana labaha or aishwarya labaha; thats all. Understand that is not brahmacharya.
So brahmacharya means which straight away brings veerya labaha. I tell you the moment you think ehh... I am not body. The moment you come to that awareness immediately you see a different energy in you. Yes... the moment you witness I am beyond body and mind. Understand the different energy. So with this click if you are established in celibacy you are brahmachari. Understand otherwise the ordinary celibacy only leads to more and more and more complication. When you are established in brahmacharya celibacy also happens in you; celibacy also happens in you but not dull, dead, non doing celibacy. It’s a life, intense, vital, energetic celibacy. Alive! brahmacharya….
So I bless you all to experience to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you. 53:17
Ashtanga Yoga: PYS 90 Aparigraha
DATE: January 4th 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 51:23
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. From today I will start expressing and explaining the truths; at least two sutras and answer all the questions. So all the satsang centers watching the sutras and my explanations live, you can send your questions to the eN TV. Send your questions through email. I will attend to your questions and respond every day. So all the satsang centers devotees watching live can note the information, from today you will have full three hours morning session.
First I will start with the sutra number 90th. For this sutra for this whole satsang the subject non possessiveness key to exist. It’s a 90th sutra the second chapter of Patanjali yoga sutra 39th verse. Let me get into this verse. After I complete this verse I will go to the next. Aparigraha sthairye janma kathanta sambodaha. O God! Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as when the yogi is established in non receiving he gets a memory of past life. Swami Prabhavananda translates as when a man becomes steadfast in his abstention from greed he gains knowledge of his past, present and future existence, existences. Swami Sachidananda translates as sutra as when non greed is confirmed a thorough illumination of the how and why of one’s birth comes.
The ability to condense the greatest truths in one sutra, the Patanjali’s ability, God! I just can’t grasp. As per the Panini, sutra means, which describes the greatest truths in minimum words without missing the basic points which anybody can understand, expand, expound in future. So if I use all these definitions no other book can be called as sutra except Patanjali. That depth with which Patanjali is expressing on each word I can go on for hours and I do not know even after that I will be able to make people understand.
If I just make a statement suddenly, in the quantum physics and quantum biology whatever happens and the reciprocation of the happenings is reflected in your neuro biology that is what is stored in your bio memory which is responsible for your existential reality. Let me repeat. What happens in the quantum physics and quantum biology is a response in your neuro biology, is responsible for what is happening in your bio memory and because of that you experience existential reality. If I need to expand on this one statement I made or later on some of my courageous disciples venture to expand and interpret this line what I made, the statement which I made now if they are intelligent enough and catch my consciousness, they can expand on this and write a whole book. Because each word I uttered is a separate philosophy and I have connected all that philosophy and given a clear final definition of how you perceive this reality.
All right the statement which I made spontaneously now I will expand on that in the next session. Let me expand on... No what I mean to say, the statement which I made spontaneous now is can be considered as sutra. Too many important truths in unbroken way conveyed with minimum words with the possibility for people to expand, expound in future. This is what is exactly the definition of sutra by Panini. So Patanjali has done the same job in this sutra.. Aparigraha sthairye janma kathanta sambodaha.
Aparigraha; let me explain the word aparigraha, non possessiveness. Usually all the orthodox translators translate as non possessiveness, as not possessing the external worldly things. But I am translating non possessiveness as not possessing anything which is not you. Please understand non possessiveness of anything which is not you. Start with the external objects like a luxury items. The outermost layer is luxury items, like too many cars which you don’t use in your day to day life. May be I can give an understanding. First when you start anything which you have not used for more than one year, give it away. Then after you are settled comfortably in this aparigraha then come down. Anything which you have not used for last six months, give it away. After settling down comfortably in this aparigraha then come next. Whoever ask whatever you have, give it away. Then come to the next level. Whatever you don’t feel as you give up. Then come next to the level whenever you don’t feel even your body and mind as not you decide to give it away; the subtle and subtle and subtle levels of non possessiveness.
Maybe for 3 or 4 seconds you can feel you are not the body with the understanding of atma vichara or the ability of unclutching. Then those three four seconds be non possessive of body. May be two three seconds you will be able to feel you are not the mind by unclutching or the atma vichara gnana; means understanding that I am not. Those few seconds give up your mind. Be non possessive. Understand if you are non possessive of your body for few moments suddenly it will alter itself it will align itself with the cosmos. It is you who is holding your body in the battered, damaged condition continuously by sitting on it.
It is like a many magnets are broken to pieces and are lying and you put a huge blanket on it and those magnets are all lying here and there in a chaotic way. If you just lift the blanket and leave them for them self they will all suddenly align in a clear north south zone and stand in a proper line. See a magnetic needle if you put a big blanket on it naturally it will not align itself in the proper north south. It will be in chaotic position. The way in which you put the blanket the moment the blanket land on that needle how it was it will be in that same position. It will be in a chaotic way. But just remove the blanket what will happen? It will align itself properly to north south.
Same way possessiveness is the blanket you put on your body. So the moment you put the possessiveness on your body means you possess your body any problem you have your body is caught in that problem. Your body is bolted in that problem. Please understand you hold on to disease because of your possessiveness to your body. Have courage and lift the blanket; blanket of possessiveness. Suddenly the body will align itself, the magnetic needle will align itself. Suddenly new kind of health, new feeling connection, new settled feeling and new joy, new wellness I can say you will understand the meaning of the word wellness when you stop possessing your body.
Non possessiveness is responsible; aparigraha is responsible for the wellness of your body. It will suddenly align itself. Maybe it is too new for a modern man’s mind to comprehend because from the beginning you are taught if you possess your body and chisel it, it will experience wellness. I am telling you, ultimate yoga, just be non possessive of the body. See if you can bend your body chisel, do 108 surya namaskar, weight lifting, everything, great! If you feel you can’t, for that one hour renounce your body; not by sleeping. Sleeping is not renunciation; wakeful aparigraha, being non possessive.
I tell you. Being non possessive of your body the first thing will happen is your digestion system will become so peaceful. How to find out whether you are non possessive or not you know? In two minutes your digestion system will release and excrete. It means those, for example if you have been non possessive of your body for more than 21 second within 21 minute your body will excrete. These are all the Hatha yoga secrets. Actually if you have the intense unclutching you will suddenly see that stomach is completely emptying itself and you feel like going to the bathroom and after the cleaning when you come back and sit and unprecedented or ununderstandable wellness will be going inside your body. This is one of the symptoms; because possessiveness of the body is directly connected to the digestion system. Non possessiveness; anybody who has problem with the liver and digestion system this non possessiveness will completely heal.
You will think from where to where he is connecting. Experience then you will understand what I am saying. These are the deepest mystical secrets of body and the mind; how they both are connected. Non possessiveness of body suddenly puts you into the great wellness. Anything which is not you, stop possessing. For example when you walk decide not to possess your body and see how it walks. When you talk decide not to possess your body. See how it talks. When you do any action decide not to possess your body and see how it does. When you eat, don’t possess your body. Let the body eat. Suddenly you will see you will not be over eating. When you listen, don’t possess your body. Suddenly the sound will neither create irritation in you nor create disturbance in you. It will create a deep peace in you.
When you see don’t possess your body suddenly you will see, all the seen are only scene not reality. When you don’t possess your body you will realize all the seen are only the scene, not the reality. When you experience touch, don’t possess your body. Allow it to enjoy in its own way as the bio memory of your touch reciprocates the touch; that is what is exactly tantra. I am defining tantra. When you are experiencing touch don’t be possessive of your body. Unfortunately we start possessing even the other body. Don’t even possess the body which you are carrying; you’ll see…..different space, different plane, different experience altogether.
The very word aparigraha can be a complete technique for your enlightenment. Tena tyaktena munchitam akrita kasya viddanam kurvanne vedarmani ….; Isavasya upanishad. Enjoy the whole by renouncing. Some of these deepest secrets of mind, body and the life; when I understand the deeper and deeper secrets, deeper and deeper gratitude starts flowing in me for the amazing intelligence and the Himalayan peak intelligence of this great rishis. I don’t know how many layers of meaning I can peel out of this one sutra. Aparigraha sthairye janma kathanta sambodaha. Next if I go to the words, sthairye - if you are stable in aparigraha non possessiveness. Janma kathanta all the possible existences of you in the past, in the present, in the future, the overlapping of the past into the future and future into the past and being battered state of by the past and by the future in the present.
Please understand none of you are in the present now. You are in a peculiar state called being punched by the future by the past in the present. There are different existences of you; the pure past past janmas, pure future future janmas future possibilities, overlapping of the past into the future means your created future possibility, overlapping of your future into the past. The way in which you remember your past is nothing but the overlapping of the future into the past. Please understand, you don’t remember your past as it happened. For example you were equally interested for a toffee and for a car and for a beloved in your life in the past. At the age of seven the interest which you had for candy, at the age of 14 the interest you had for your own vehicle may be motor bike or car, at the age of 20 the interest you had for your life partner; all three are equalent. But now when you remember your past you remember your interest for your life partner and the car more intensely than the interest you had for candy or toffee. This is what I mean the past you remember is the projection, overlapping of the future into the past.
It is not the exact pure past. The pure past and the pure future does not bind you. Overlapping of the past into the future, overlapping of the future into the past binds you. Let me define the states; pure past, pure future, overlapping of your past into the future, overlapping of your future into the past, the fifth state is being battered by the past and future in present. Almost all of you are in that state only. The sixth stage is pure present. Understand mooladhara is pure past greed; all the greed and fantasies based on past. Swadishtana pure future all insecurities related to pure future. Manipuraka the past overlapping into the future, worry; when the past overlaps into the future it is worry. When the future overlaps into the past and missing something attention need. When the future and past is battering your present at this moment and constant comparison and nagging and suffering is vishuddhi. Unable to realize your uniqueness; uniqueness of the present is the vishuddhi. Pure present is ajna. Pure presence is sahasara.
The seven states the word janma, I think nobody in janma explained the word janma. Orthodox people translate the word janma as birth or incarnations. I am translating that word as the various possible existences. If you translate the word janma as birth it becomes too superficial. No; Various possible existences. Every moment you are in different, different janma. The mixture with which you are made is changing every moment. So the word janma has to understood in all its components and dimensions. The seven janmas which I expressed now is the seven janmas spoken continuously in the Upanishads and Puranas. It is not seven times you take a different body is called seven janma. No. Bhur bhuva swaha the seven world is exactly now what I expressed.
The pure past, pure future, past overlapping into the future, future overlapping into the past, and the present being battered by the past and future, pure present and pure presence. When I say the word pure presence, it is inclusive of all this six and which is witnessing all this six, is presence. Suddenly you will see that whole zigzag puzzle clicks. Oh God! Right! Be in pure past fantasies will not affect you. Pure past means what dead. So understand this is the way it all happened. Dead, over, why will that affect you? The affecting starts happening when the pure past trying to overlap into the future. You want it again.
I tell you be with awareness during this janma. Now you have a janma find out in which janma you are. Are you in pure past are you in pure future? Are you now in past overlapping into the past? Are you now in future overlapping into the past? Or are you in a state of past and future kicking you in the present? Or are you in the state of pure present? Now sit and scan you are in which janma. I feel most of you are in the janma of vishuddhi where the past and future is eating the present, completely battered, shaken, chaotic, miserable.
I tell you if you are caught in pure past; it is not even being caught, it is like living among the dead samskaras. Never you will be disturbed. The pure past has no problem but you once in a while sprinkle water on it and try to expect some dead body will come back to life and you can have a ghost; you can have the ghost and you may be able to have that samskara or that past repeating once more in the future. I tell you if you live intensely in this moment you will completely kill this moment and never ever expect that this moment should be repeated in your future.
It is the non compliance to the moment is non completeness of the moment. Non compliance to the moment is non completeness of the moment. When you do not comply to this moment because of being possessive of body or mind, the non completeness of the moment happens in you. And non completed moment is karma which asks you to come back to the same janma. Please understand when I say the janma I am not saying the human body. I am saying to the same energy space and ask you to complete that karma. For example this moment you are stuck in the future overlapping into the past. Then that record goes and settles down as that engram and calls you again back to the space of future overlapping into the past to complete and comply with that engram which is a non complete because of your non compliance. So you are summoned back again to that same energy space to comply with and complete it.
I am revealing a deepest secret to get rid of the karma chakra, the karma bandha. Another one important truth you need to know, fortunately each one of your energy centers can hold only 21 engram. Please understand if you have 2000 fantasies, if you have spent your whole life in pornography, even then your mooladhara can hold only 21 fantasy; not more that. So 21 times if you go back to your mooladhara and comply and complete that fantasy without creating one more; that is the important thing. When you go to that zone you should be fully busy in nivritti. But after going there you should not think wow! I have the possibility, come on why not collect two three who’s going to watch. No. Any of your energy space can summon you only 21 times if you don’t create some more cases when you visit there. It is like a court summons you. You go there and if you attend and properly comply and complete and come back, it can be heard; it can be considered as one hearing.
All your centers can summon you only 21 times in the whole life. But the problem is when you go to the court you do some burger; some lie. So naturally the burgery case continues and when you are again summoned, you do one more burgery. Understand so that is why I am saying with this clarity and awareness, if you live even 21 days and go on complying and completing every janma of you, you are liberated. This is a important factor you need to know; factor and fact.
In none of your janma, energy space you hold more than 21 strings. For example I am saying, past being projected into the future is manipuraka. So you have only 21 defined problem in Manipuraka. Even if you have lived unconsciously in your manipuraka for last 200 years and did 200 crimes it is all forgiven; only 21 are picked up and kept. It has a automatic filtering system. By nature you cannot hold more than 21. All more than 21 goes away into the sanchita. If you break this 21, sanchita gets burnt automatically. See it is like you steal and store lot of money in the Swiss bank and you steal and store some money in your country bank. Suddenly you die then what will happen to both the accounts. Waste! Same way, more than 21 engrams in each energy space goes away to sanchita. But if you kill these 21 automatically other things disappear.
Various ways of existences is janma. See, in which way you are existing now and try to push yourself to the next level of existence. This is what is developing your janma. Anything you do to push yourself to the next janma is punya. Anything you do which pushes you to the lower level of janma is paapa; that’s all. The existence, anything you do which pushes you to the next level of existence is punya. Anything you do which pushes you to the lower level of existence is paapa. And anything you do which does not comply or complete the present is karma.
Kathanta the next word.... Why…. how…. where…. the janma? Now whatever I explained that is kathantha. Sambodaha the illumination enlightenment happens. Let me give you the essence now. If you are established in non possessiveness, all the possibility of how, why, when, where, about your various existences are revealed to you. You become enlightened about all your various existences by being non possessive. How?
When you, you are not possessive of body and mind you comply with the present and complete the present. Complying with the present and completing the present leads you to presence. Non compliance of the present and non-completing of the present leads you to the lower five levels of existence; either past overlapping into the future, future overlapping into the past, pure past or pure present. Understand, compliance and completing of the present by the non possessiveness of the body and mind which I call egolessness which is responsible for ajna, opening of the ajna, leads you to the……
Please understand non compliance to the present and non completing of the present leads you to the lower forms of existence. Compliance and completeness of the present leads you to the presence. If you are not complying with the present you are pushed to the lower five forms of existing. Past overlapping into the future, future overlapping into the past, pure past, pure future, in present, past and future shattering you shaking you; five forms of existence. Look in…..in which form of existence you are in. Look in…… in which form of existence you are in and try to comply with the present and complete the present. Just for next few days again and again and again you will experience samboda of janma kathanta. You will experience illumination of all possible existences of your being.
Actually I feel complete now. I delivered a baby now. Practically I delivered a baby. Because the truth I revealed, delivered, I know which was not there in the cosmic consciousness. It is just pure addition to the cosmic consciousness in last few moments. When a baby is delivered mother feels relieved and a woman becomes mother. When a truth is delivered an incarnation feels relieved and only now, only during these moments, person becomes incarnation. Now whoever mothers this truth inside them they will also deliver enlightenment.
Let me come to the statement I made; quantum physics and quantum biology. Alright I better take little more time and elaborately expand on each word. Now already I can feel that all your minds are grabbing which one to pick up and which one to……. it’s like too much is in my plate. I'll give you the essence of whatever I said now; jist. By non possessing the layer by layer by layer in your life finally non possessiveness of the body and mind leads you to comply and complete the various forms of existence, which leads from one to the other, one to the other, one to the other, finally to the present. And when you comply and complete the present, leads to the presence which is enlightenment of all forms of existences of you in the past, present, future and the past overlapping into the future and future overlapping into the past and the past and future battering and shattering your present and the pure present and the pure presence ultimately.
I think I will give you the break to digest and explain the second and third sutras later; explain the next, next sutras later because I don’t want…. I really thought I will do three sutras today. But the way and depth with which this first sutra came out, if I speak it may be recorded for the future. But I don’t think your bandwidth can grasp what I am saying. It’s like you trying to download 100MB file with ordinary small data card and low internet signal. I don’t want your machines to get stuck. Machines to...
All right; I bless you all to experience, to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you. 51:14
Live Simple and Become Shiva

LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram

DURATION: 44:12
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. Before entering into the today’s satsang, today’s subject, I will answer some of the questions from devotees and disciples around the world. It’s from Chirantana Girish from North Carolina. “Dear Swamiji in your message you said that most of us are stuck in vishuddhi. Also each chakra holds only 21 engrams, threads. Does this mean we are only 21 engrams away from living in the present? But we go into a seemingly endless loop recreating more engrams in the same state or do we also traverse up and down these threads. And do the threads go down into other chakras below too. Could you please explain the overlapping of the states further? How do we identify, comply with and complete an engram in a chakra without recreating more engrams while doing so. If so if a thread goes from one chakra to the another do we fulfill it in the lower chakra or higher chakra.
I think a subject for one full satsang. I will answer every step. If you understand the truths again once more, many of these questions will drop. First thing understand most of us are stuck in vishuddhi. Yes, most of us are stuck in vishuddhi where the present holds; Present is pregnant with past and future. Or I can say present is poisoned with past and future. You are not enjoying the pure present. You are sitting here but you are not enjoying this complete, this whole thing in pure present. You have your own worries related to past, related to future. So every moment comes with a dent created by the past and future. How much ever you try, I have seen sometime your very body resist to be in the present. When you again and again make an effort, your very body feels no it’s ok; it just succumbs to the past and future. So the present which you are enjoying is battered and shattered by the past and future.
Does this mean we are only 21 engrams away from living in the present? Yes Chirantana you are just 21 engram, I am saying maximum each chakra holds only maximum 21. That does not mean everything has to hold 21. There are some of your energy centers may be holding only 5 or 6. You are only maximum 21 engram away from enlightenment. Anybody is maximum only 21 engram away from enlightenment. So, but we go into a seemingly endless loop recreating more engrams in the same state. That is what is the sad part. Not deciding it is not and I am telling you honestly; it is not even living in the present; deciding to live in the present. Deciding; that is where the problem is. We are not deciding. Somehow we have a deep vested interest very deep vested interest to be ah... ah. We don’t trust the restful awareness can give rest. We always tend to believe rest means forgetting things, being irresponsible, forgoing the things you need to attend. The inability irresponsibility are non attentiveness; non attending is associated with rest.
Unfortunately you know only one rest that is which is falling into the unconsciousness, sleep, where you don’t care about things, where your complete decision not to care about things becomes predominant. Please understand you do not know any other rest. So pathetic! Human beings do not know any other state for resting other than sleep. That is why always if you want to take rest you want to throw away things. You strongly believe irresponsibility and non attending or disowning is the only way for rest. No. The moment you start believing disowning is the only way for rest, non attending is the only way for rest naturally your being likes to rest. So it will always decide to let go; means let the past and future do whatever it wants in the mind. Let me rest.
Please understand awareness trying to live in the present looks like a load on you because of your belief system. Why you don’t want to live in the present even though you know the benefit. You know the benefit. If you have lived ten minutes in the present you know how many benefits; how you are alive, aware, excited, intense, passionate and joyful, successful. You know it but you decide not to live in present. Because you have a deep strong belief; present means stress, awareness means load. Till you remind your bio memory strongly, awareness means restfulness, being in the present means deep relaxation, till your remind your bio memory make your bio memory understand awareness means restfulness being in the present means utter relaxation. I don’t know how much you are going to take, how much time and how much energy you are going to take to remind your system awareness means restful awareness; being in the present means deeply relaxed; all the knots being shattered. That understanding that clarity is a basic necessity for you to consciously decide to get enlightened; to live in the present moment.
The problem is not just your intellectual understanding level. See there are some problems which can be cleared just by the intellectual understanding. But the problem related to laziness, this is the deepest layer of laziness, the subtlest printout which you carry in your mind, blue print which you carry in your mind about the past present future. This is one of the most dangerous blueprint you carry. Please understand most dangerous blueprint means living in the present is stress. Just being pushed and pulled by the past and future is relaxation. I can say I can define the meaning of ignorance. Ignorance means believing floating in the past and future is relaxation being in the present is stressful effort; this is ignorance.
All your bio memories believe being pushed and pulled by the past and future is your nature. In that you are more relaxed than being in the present. That is why whenever you decide to be in present it looks like an action, which is supposed to be nature. Understand you are supposed to be being in present. Going into the past and going into the future should be an action. But see the whole shift in your understanding. Now as on now you feel being in the present is a big action; I have to be aware. Being in the present you feel that you have to be aware like a sniffing dog. I am in the present I am in the present oh! Already I am in the past! No, no, no, I am in the present…. no already I am in the future…… no I am in the present I am in the..... Unfortunately your muscles are stored so much with the past and future, you are so habituated to feel the relaxation in the past and future, your present is so much battered and shattered by the past and the future, you strongly believe being in the present is a continuous action. This is what I call ignorance.
Again and again and again reminding your muscle memory being in the present is the relaxation and restfulness, being in the present is the restful awareness, entering into the past or the future is the action, doing, stressfulness. Do not associate your relaxation with some vacation place or some mood happened in the past in your life. Associate always relaxation to the kundalini which awakens in the present moment. When you sit with the restful awareness, in every body, in everybody some part of kundalini awakens. A shift in the awareness happens. Associate your relaxation vacation with that shift. Teach your bio memory again and again that is vacation, that is relaxation, that is restful awareness. I can say this is sadhana. That is ignorance this is sadhana.
Chirantana this is the worst ignorance with which you are suffering, not only you, all human beings suffer. This is responsible for not living in the present, not deciding to live in the present, not breaking such a small thread. It’s a small veil between you and enlightenment made out of 21 small threads. Do we also traverse up and down these threads and do the threads go down into the other chakras below too. The engrams them self do not travel but you jump into the different, different engrams as per your taste. You choose your hells. In one hell if you feel too hot you just change the temperature. It’s not that you go to heaven; you change the temperature and feel comfortable because of the change in temperature. After half an hour that hell also seems to be too much. Then you jump into other hell. Oh I think this will be comfortable. You change hells; you change engrams, so that you will have little breathing space. Changes of suffering you feel as joy. Change of work people feel as vacation. Same way change of suffering you feel as joy. So thread itself does not goes up or down. Each chakra has their own threads. You go and live in each chakra and come back.
Could you please explain the overlapping of the states further? Pure past, pure present, past overlapping into the future, future overlapping into the past; see past overlapping is not the future all of you understand, how you project your past into the future. Either altered or developed state of your past only you want in your future; future being projected into the past. That is what I said not remembering the past as it happened, remembering it as per the strategy plan you have for the future; rewriting the history. Man wants always his past to be projected in tune with the way in which he wanted to present his future. When you constantly look at your past having the future strategy planning in your mind you don’t look at the past as it is.
That day I was giving an example. You have been crazy, craving equally with a equal strength for candy at the age of seven, for a car at the age of fourteen, for a life partner at the age of twenty. All this you had equal amount of craving and craziness. But unfortunately when you look your life back with your vested interest, the future strategy planning, you think for the life partner you had more craving; that is going to fulfill you more than the candy which you always wanted at the age of seven. Because now you have an idea, in the future the candy may not stand with you during all the problems which happens in your life. Spouse is a person who stands with you during all the problems of your life which may not have happened in your life if he or she is not there in your life. So you have your own vested interest. You need somebody to stand in your life when you have problem. So you know candy may not stand. So you tend to believe spouse was a more strong craving than the candy.
But I tell you, you can experiment, see a child playing with a toy or enjoying a candy something very joyfully. Try to snatch that away and see how he gasps for the breath. He struggles for the breath while crying or while he is missing that how he tries to suffer for breath. See the intensity or the length of the breath and see the same way when somebody is struggling for the spouse or the love in life. You will see the intensity of both will be the same or the child will have the more intensity. But when you remember in your future you don’t remember the craving, the craziness you had for candy as intensely as you remember the so called useful objects; because now you decided these objects are going to be useful for your future you remember only that craving. You don’t remember the whole past as it happened. You project the future into the past and remember only what you want. This is another one important ignorance; projecting future into the past and remembering your past does not give you the clear understanding and identity, does not give you the right accounts for you to make the right decision about your future. You are stuck.
I tell you if I can teach only this one science, the science of looking at the past as it is, for how many things how much deep cravings you had, after achieving those things how much you had fulfillment and how you are not remembering the real cravings you had and how you are remembering the superficial cravings you had as a strong cravings in your life. If I can just teach this one science to the kids, I will have millions of enlightened beings. If I can teach this one science to the youth, I will have millions of sanyasis. If I can teach this one science to the adults, so called grown up man, I will have at least few million enlightened sanyasis. When you understand all the cravings you had, the fulfillments you experienced without projecting the future into the past you will just know you are a Asutosha; easily pleased.
Understand if you think your joy comes to you by the difficult achievements you are shava, you are going towards death; because your whole life will be struggling, struggling, struggling. If you understand your joys are too simple you can be fulfilled in a simple way. When you look at your past and past cravings and how they are fulfilled without projecting the future into it, the first realization will happen in you is your joys are too simple you are Shiva, Asutosha. North Bharat they have beautiful word for Shiva; Bhole Baba, means easily pleased, innocent. You can please him with a little Ganges water or just one small bil patra bilva leaf, just one handful of rice; nothing more is required. You don’t need to have a elaborate puja like how you do for Vishnu and other deities. Bhole baba, easily pleased. I tell you if you don’t project your future into the past you will become Bhole baba, easily pleased simply joyful. I tell you that is one of the greatest quality.
If somebody asks a question if you don’t have this mission how you will be, what will you be doing? I think this Inner Awakening somebody asked me. I will describe exactly what I will be doing. Somewhere in the banks of Ganges, in a small hut with a big belly I will be just relaxed, lying down. And some of the local village boys kids if they bring little food I will eat and do some miracles for those kids by teleporting candies, materializing candies, some toys for those kids and playing with them, teaching them some simple truths, ehh don’t tell lies, don’t smoke, don’t beat your sister, don’t beat your classmate; like this teaching some simple things I will be resting, sleeping, living; that’s it. That is my fantasy; that is my fantasy of Bhole baba. Bhole baba nothing much is required easily pleased Asutosha. If small kids bring one or two sweets which they get from shop or the house I will eat that and I will materialize four five few candies and give them and tell them ehh don’t tell lies, don’t beat your sister, comb your hair properly, brush your teeth; that’s all.
Life is nothing more serious; understand. All this mission and everything is for complicated people. Because human beings have complicated them self so much, now you need a complicated mission. Otherwise nothing else is required. And I tell you by lying down in one corner of the Ganges as a Bhole baba as I described now, I will be equally making enough people enlightened the number of people I will be enlightening through this complicated mission. I am telling you. With this huge organization which so many fools are envy about and with all this set up, how many people I make enlightened, the same job I will be doing there as Bhole baba because I will be working with those small kids who are not that complicated or the small villagers who bring little food, the yesterdays rice in small mud pot. So naturally I will be working with those simple people and the same process will be happening.
Understand the Asutosha, not projecting your future into the past and seeing your past, if you just look at your past as it is, you will see so many times with such simple things you are pleased. By nature you are pleased just with the simple things. You are Bhole baba. You will just suddenly dig out the Bhole baba identity of you, the Asutosha identity of you. Cherishing, living, bringing that Asutosha identity of you to life, is what I call sadhu; the definition of sadhu means understanding you are a Bhole baba. You are simply pleased. But the moment you compare; why, why should I be simply pleased? All those fellows to get pleased need all those, those, those, those, those big, big, big, big things and if I am simply pleased I am cheated by all my peers. Because I am simply pleased I am Asutosha, everybody is exploiting me. Now you have exploited yourself; over.
Now you are no more Bhole baba. You are no more Asutosha. You have to become Indra to be joyful. Even after becoming Indra when you have a problem you have to rush to Bhole baba only. Understand the moment you compare, ohh because I am Bhole baba all the good things which came out of the churning of the ocean, all these fellows have taken away. They just left few snakes and useless rudraksha and worthless the cremation ground bhasma for me and this Lakshmi has been taken away by this Vishnu and Kamadhenu Kalpavriksha is snatched by Indra; the moment you think that, you lost the Shiva character and you want to become now Indra. You rush in the angle of Indra.
So when you are trying to become Indra what you do? You project your future into the past and you feel only with this, this, this, this, this this things parijatha, kalpavriksha, rambha, menaka, urvashi with all this only then I will be happy. So you complicate your joy. So naturally the rakshahas come and attack you; Depression! The struggle which you need to go through to achieve that high or complicated joys. So when rakshashas attack you what you do? No, no, no better let me be Bhole baba. You get back; you get back to be a Bhole baba. I tell you, retain the beauty of Bhole baba in your life. Retain the quality of Asutosha in your life. You will be living with Shiva consciousness. Living with Shiva consciousness does not mean you don’t even need to some big, big, big, big things. If you want to live in Shiva consciousness, just live like a Bhole baba easily pleased, easily joyful, Asutosha. If they are pleased only with those complicated things, let them be Indras; but I am going to be Asutosha.
You look into your past in a pure way without projecting that future into that past; as it is. You will understand oh God! You have been always pleased by very simple things. Ordinary things are enough to please you. Your cravings are not that complicated. By nature you are Bhole baba. This understanding will land on you. Understanding by nature you are Asutosha Bhole baba; means liberated from the future being projected into the past.
If you stop the past being projected into the future you will be relieved from worry. You will be relieved from fear. If you stop the future being projected into the past you will be relieved from greed. Suddenly you will see the thousands of things which you feel is a basic necessity to run your future will lose its power or meaning over you. Ehhh I needed only this few beads not diamonds. I needed only these simple things not those big, big things. Oh God! Bhole baba! Just decide to be Asutosha to be Bhole baba. Do not believe your mind which says no, no all your colleagues, team members, group, community, they are all exploiting you because you are Bhole baba. Then you are done; now you are exploited by your own mind. It’s your choice.
Sadhu means Bhole baba; exactly the visualization now I gave you. Lying down in the banks of Ganges, a small hut with a big belly means what, did not even bother about the body caring or did not maintain the body, nothing much need to be attended. You don’t need to do weight lifting every day, you don’t need to bend your body and do yoga every day, you don’t need to care about anything and anything comes you put it in your mouth, so naturally huge belly, all the time lying down, does not need to be attended and it is there, it is there, it is there. And some kids will come in the evening when they don’t have school; the belly will be so huge they will be playing on it. They may bring one or two candy which they would have eaten half and the remaining will be there in their hand. Baba you eat this and you can eat, to please them do some materialization, teleporting, play with some powers to please them. That’s a real joy. You should show the powers to please the kids and play with the kids not to these fools to impress them. Then the Bhole baba will not be Bhole baba. Then it is a trying to prove a point. The powers should be expressed playfully as Bhole baba, not to prove a point, not even to prove you are enlightened. And just give some candy, this, that, to those kids and tell them ehh do mathematics properly in your school. You are not studying well.
Exactly this is the way Raghupathy yogi was living, I know. That is the way Raghupathy was living; not a big belly but other than that all the other qualities are same, easily pleased. Exactly this is the way I experienced Arunagiri Yogeeshwara; easily pleased. I will take this ordinary tamarind, whatever even uncooked items and all from the house; whatever I get in my eyes or the hand belongs to Arunagiri Yogeeshwara. Then after I leave to the temple my mother will be searching where is the rice where is the.... Usually in the villages in the night time they will keep everything ready for the next day morning cooking and all the measurements they will keep it ready for next day morning to get up and cook and next day morning before my mother starts the cooking the whole thing would have been packed and gone to the Arunagiri Yogeeshwara. She will be running around and searching where is this, where is this, where is this. Whatever I get in my hand gets packed and goes to Arunagiri Yogeeshwara and I have seen, so easily pleased with all the ordinary things, with all just ordinary things. Bhole baba. He will just take that tamarind and try to taste. He will not even take it to the cooking.
So understand, if you stop projecting your future into the past you will be free from the greed. You will become Bhole baba. How do we identify comply with and complete an engram in a chakra without recreating more engrams while doing so? All right now it’s time I will answer this question again in tomorrow’s satsang. I have not even touched the sutra. I will continue in tomorrow’s satsang. I will continue to answer the remaining part of the questions in the next sessions. Today’s essence is how to be Bhole baba that’s it Shiva Asutosha; easily pleased.
I bless you all to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you. 44:03

You sit in a relaxed way in an unclutched way with a deep awareness; awareness which does not create stress in you; restful awareness. Sit you will have the eN effect on you.
Before entering into the today’s sutra I will answer the questions. Diana Bello is asking how can I keep contentment at work. I work in the medical profession. It is a tough place to be. In the ABCs of medical profession are Accuse Blame Criticize. The ABCs of medical profession is Accuse Blame Criticize. I have to be on guard constantly. I would love to say I am on strike today. Don’t bother me. That would not go over well when a baby is coming into the world. How can I be in contentment at work? I love my job. Some days it is very trying very stressful. I would love to hold up a sign to a doctor. I am on strike. I am in discontentment. Do it yourself. Thank you.
Diana, understand I am not asking you to hold that strike board to the doctor. Put it in your house and don’t even go. And you are saying when a baby is coming into the world, what can be done? So much is happening but nothing can be done unless once in a while you create a chaos in your bio memory and say no. Unless you put your bio memory into the pressure that it has to get back to the contentment I think you will not be able to achieve it. So two thing I wanted to make it clear. When you say the medical profession ABCs are accuse blame criticize, then naturally you are in the right situation where you have the heavy peer pressure. This is the right spot to do strike. Then your bio memory has no other way except to survive. When the survival threat comes naturally it learns how to be content. I tell you really when the survival threat comes you just learn how to be content.
There are some shows in US in some TVs. The show title is ‘I should not be alive’. The people who got caught in the worst accidents, dangerous situations, like trekking or air crash, airplane crash and escaped from those accidents, they are interviewed. Their experiences are shown. Actually dramatically recreated and shown. I saw some of those shows. When you see their experiences they have so much of gratitude for simple air which they breathe or little water they drink, the very life they have; because they were in a position experientially. What they have now may not be with them forever; almost taken away but given back. So the gratitude they have is from experience. I tell you after seeing that show, listening from some of their experiences, listening to some of their experiences and learning from some of their experiences, I tell you chaos teaches you how to be content. Especially the chaos which can create the survival threat really teaches you how to be content.
So only one thing; have this understanding how to be content should be the main theme of all the chaos which happens outside you, inside you, because of you, in spite of you. Chaos is of four variety inside you, outside you, outside you because of you, outside you in spite of you, inside you because of you, inside you in spite of you. All this four variety of chaos have this as a center theme. How can I be content? You will see your bio memory is intelligent enough to catch the truth.
Next question Arvind N. How does one practice detachment of body and make our body aligned to the cosmos? Can you provide a technique or is this supposed to be visualized? Let me give you the technique. How does one practice detachment of body and make our body align to the cosmos? Can you provide technique or is this supposed to be visualized? Understand this is the technique. When you are seeing, remember you are seeing through the eyes. Eyes are not seeing. You, which is something away from the eyes are seeing through the eyes. When you are hearing, ears are not hearing. You who is something different from the ears are hearing. When you are smelling, nose is not smelling. You who is something different from the nose is smelling. When you are touching, you are not touching, skin is not touching. You who is something different from skin is touching through the skin. Just remember this only one thing during all your actions. You will get solidified into that something which is different from the body. I tell you, an intense spiritual experience that you are beyond body will happen in you and aligning to the cosmos will happen in you.
Here is a question Josh Rain from Josh Rain. When I meditate after one hour I like to lie down; not sleep but lie down and do nothing and then body falls asleep after thirty minute. I am not conscious but it’s a good sleep. I don’t enjoy going out of the house. I don’t enjoy people company and like to be alone. And I don’t like to listen to your discourses either as I feel I am in that what you already talked. I have no complaints, worries and enjoying life. I do only necessary things needed. How can I increase my awareness and stay awake for longer hours? How can I break this at bio memory level? What does it mean to be awake, aware during sleep? Does it mean you never sleep and you never lose conscious? Do I have to use will, force, effort for 21 days to make this change? How are you able to do it for longer periods of time? What techniques have you done during your practice? Please answer.
Josh Rain you are in the space of asmita, peace. But you need to move to the space of bliss; a causeless excitement. How to do it? When you lie down after your meditation for resting one hour decide to put your awareness either on the third eye or on your breathing. Then you will understand after that one hour, your sleeping also will not be unconscious. You don’t need to use your will, you don’t need to use your force. In a very relaxed way like how you look at a rose flower, how you enjoy a garden or a valley or a forest, just relaxed way same way, put your awareness on the third eye and be relaxed. Be centered without any stress. That is enough to put you into that conscious, awake aware, the conscious sleeping state.
Now the Patanjali’s yoga sutras; the subject ‘Awaken Your Hidden Powers’; it is the 94th sutra, in second chapter 43rd verse. The subject is ‘Awaken your secret Powers’. There are so many secret powers in you which is kept as secret even from you. Just yesterday we were having some of the intense meditation process for the ashramites to teach levitation experience for them. Actually no teaching was given, no words were exchanged, no technique. All I did is people who experience levitation, among them I made the others who don’t experience levitation to sit together. Just the people who not experience levitation, their bio memory has started catching the experience of levitation. It means what? The people who were not experiencing levitation till yesterday, it is not that they did not have power to levitate or experience. It was kept as a secret from them self by them self. Sometimes the more powers the more awareness you get confused. You don’t know what to do.
Suddenly if you are made to become a chief minister of a particular state what will happen? You will be in chaos. You don’t know what to do with so much power. So your bio memory needs to be trained step by step to assess, experience, explore and express that power. Otherwise the power itself can be disturbance for you. You may have a heart attack and die. Me chief minister!! You may not be able to handle. Same way there are many secret powers inside you animadhi siddhis; anima, lahima, mahima, karima, ishitvam, vashitvam, prapti; these are the different siddhis. Biggest problem is you yourself are afraid of those siddhis. So slowly you keep those siddhis as a secret from yourself. You hide them from yourself. You just say it’s ok, it’s ok. You are good. I am good. You be there where you are. I will be there where I am. Otherwise your bio memory is basically intelligent.
Just the other day I was reading some of the verses from the siddha tradition. There is a huge granite temple made in Tanjore by a great king and a siddha Karuvurar. Karuvurar was a great siddha. He and his predecessors were the spiritual guiding force behind that temple and King Rajaraja was the physical who was providing all the necessary things; infra structure, manpower, resource and everything. It was a monumental work; unimaginable work, 217 feet granite marvel; one of the oldest, tallest structure built in granite in the world. And it’s not like a pyramid; just a geometrically shaped stones heaped together. No. Such a deep art work, not a single inch goes uncarved. There is no geometrical carving.
See geometrical carving is easy. Just catch slaves and tell them, they will carve it and they don’t beat them, then they will carve it. Geometrical carving does not need a person’s cooperation. It does not need the intelligence or art, creativity. No! If you just frighten him and do this or you will be killed. Then he will make the shape of geometry; triangle, rectangle, square over. But this temple is an amazing piece of art. Every inch is carved. It is an art piece. So you can’t build it with slaves. You have to build only with artists who can never be enslaved. You can never enslave an artist. He will have his own independence freedom. Even if you try to enslave he will make monkey and donkey. What will you do? You can’t force him to make some beautiful thing by enslaving. No.
It’s an art piece; shocking size art piece. I was reading…… not only carving, I was wondering how they would have assembled the whole thing? Whole thing happened within five years; just five years. Rajaraja built everything, assembled. So I was pondering how did they assemble the whole thing? It was impossible to put one on the other top without any machineries tools. I realized, in their song they have given very clear techniques how they teach human beings bio memory the extra ordinary powers to lift extraordinary weight. Each human being has a hidden secret power to lift extra ordinary weight. So if that kundalini is awakened and that secret power is made to experience by the bio memory, bio memory just lifts any amount.
I tried when our disciples, our ashramites experience the kundalini awakening they are able to lift three times more their weight. If they are 50kg they are able to lift 150kg just like that. Normally they can’t. Three times of their weight just like that they able to lift; so many secret powers are hidden in your own bio memory, in your own bio memory. Understand the secret powers hidden in your bio memory should become part of your life. You should have intelligence to handle those powers in your life. How to?
Patanjali answers that question in this sutra; very powerful sutra kaayendriya siddhir asupti shayaat tapassaha. Wow! Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as the mortification of the organs and the body through the destruction of their impurities brings powers to them. Swami Prabhavananda translates as, as the result of mortification impurities are removed then special powers come to the body and the sense organs. Swami Sachidananda translates this same sutra as by austerity impurities of body and senses are destroyed and occult powers gained.
I will read the sutra once more. Kaayendriya siddihi ashuddhi kshayaat tapasaha. The technical term in this sutra is tapasaha. That is where I am going to differ with the traditional orthodox translation. Traditional orthodox translations say mortification as the meaning of the word tapas. I wanted to translate that word tapasaha as the practices through which your bio memory falls in tune with all knowing, all powerful, all intelligent, all compassionate atman. Please understand, basically the stuff which is inside your bio memory which is responsible for your bio memory to be alive is satchidananda; Sat all knowing, chit all powerful, ananda always blissful. Because of all this three always compassionate, overflowing. Basically the stuff which is responsible for your bio memory to be alive and active is satchidananda. But your bio memory is not completely aware of its own sweet truth satchidananda. So any practice makes your bio memory to understand and experience its innate nature of all knowing, all powerful, all blissful, is tapas, tapasaha. 25:09 I don’t want to translate that word tapasaha as mortification. No. Sometime just a very joyful action of eating some sweet can be tapas for you. Tapas is not always painful. It is not always mortification. It is not always austerity. Just because sometimes it is austerity it is not always austerity. Tapas sometimes is a very joyful, happy doing, which you always wanted to do especially the tapas described in the Shiva sutras in some of the Hatha yoga if you see, so joyful ecstatic. It is not tapas at all, mortification at all, pain at all. Yesterday see yesterday the sutra contentment, sukha labaha; the ultimate joy is gained by contentment. It is not mortification to learn contentment. You are not going to poke your body with a spear or you are not going to fast, you are not going to kill yourself. No. It’s not like Ravana cutting his own head and putting it in yaga, havan. No. There are austerity sometime need to be practiced but the word tapas itself should not be translated as austerity or mortification.
The word tapasaha should be understood or translated as the methods and techniques through which your bio memory is empowered to look into its innate nature and experience the all-knowing, all powerful, all blissful, all compassionate expression of itself. Sometime when you are feeling like falling asleep, if you just remember, wow by falling asleep I am going to experience my innate nature of eternal peace; remember this and fall asleep. It is tapas. Whenever you fall asleep remember oh I think I am tired of running around and projecting the scenes which is not me. So I wanted to return back to my home which is all peaceful all the time and waiting for me. Let me return. Just with this memory if you fall asleep your whole sleeping time becomes tapas. You are not doing any austerity here, you are not doing any mortification here; but you are killing the wrong idea. Mortification of wrong idea is done here.
So from my experience if I have to describe the word tapas I'll describe more as mortification of the wrong ideas. When you fall asleep just remember this one truth. Oh I think my bio memory is tired of seeing all the things which is not there; useless. It wants to get back to its original space where all peace exists. Let me return. It is tapas. Then your sleeping is tapas. You don’t need to do anything else like Krishna tells in the Gita sarva dharman parityajya mamyegam sharanam vraja.
The devotees are sitting in Toronto I can see in their house beautiful picture of Krishna in the wall; Krishna giving Gita to Arjuna. How Krishna says sarva dharman parityajya mamyegam sharanam vraja aham tva sarbhavebhyo mokshaikshami ma sucham. He says drop everything and surrender. It is not mortification. It is just pleasant, sweet, relaxed technique for falling in tune. Tapasaha is not always mortification. Tapasaha is not always austerity. So I wanted to translate the word tapasaha as the techniques, ideas which makes your bio memory in tune with the all knowing, all powerful, all compassionate experience of consciousness. Kaayendriya siddhir ashuddhi kshayat tapasaha.
The esoteric extraordinary powers are achieved by tapas. That is why I say, see yesterday so many people I can say, at least handful of people some five six, picked up levitation without any tapas; just by sitting in the group who are already levitating. How it happened? The bio memory falls into coherence with other bio memories. So in a way I can say living in the sangha itself is tapas. Because here I am making many bio memories into the highest possible coherence highest possible conscious coherence so when you are living among those bio memories, naturally the dignity and the grace they express in their body, body language, in their bio memory, in their joy.
I am really, really happy last few months the coherence of the whole group consciousness has intensely raised. I could see the behavior of the ashramites, the character of the ashramites with others, with them self, with community has transformed so much. I am seeing the sweetness, the undercurrent of the sweetness is rising within them self and with others and with everybody. The highest possible coherence has started happening. Actually the sangha is required for that only. I am really happy. In 2009, I am more or less like a place where satsang happens. Some loose seekers come, something is shared, they learn. Then 2010, I could see we evolving as a monastery, where a systematic transmission of the intellect and intelligence happening. Now 2011, I can see very clearly we have entered the zone of mystery school where the energy experience is getting transmitted, where the energy experience is happening, where I could see just by the presence, being inside, people are catching the energy experience, different extraordinary powers like Patanjali describes kaayendriya siddihi; the body and sense organs are getting riped.
Please understand the word siddhi I do not want to translate as extraordinary powers. I want to translate that word as getting riped; that’s the right word. If your eyes are riped you can see anything. Now the Toronto, the devotees are sitting and watching. In that wall there is a poster of Krishna and Arjuna. I can read very clearly those letters Gita saaram idu nadandrado ada ….. I can read those letters. When your eyes are riped you can see extraordinary things. Of course I am not trying to prove the extraordinary power. What I am saying is when you make your senses ripe you live with it joyfully.
See this levitation is nothing but the method of ripening your senses. I could see the people who sit everyday for the levitation experience, the samana experience. First thing happened is drastic healing; long term serious sicknesses have just like that disappeared. Some of the gynecological problems these devotees had for years disappeared just like that and ten years back pain, years of stomach problem; when your body is riped, the kaayendriya siddhi, please understand again I am translating that word siddhi as ripening of the sense organs. I don’t want to translate that word siddhi as extraordinary powers. The extraordinary powers will be side effect.
When your senses ripen, actually when your skin ripens you will have the power to expand or contract. You can blow like a balloon or shrink it as you want. That is what is called mahima garima. The anima lahima mahima karima making yourself weightless or heavy or small or big all this happens when your skin ripens. The word siddhi even Ramakrishna translates as boiled, riped, cooked. How to cook, boil your senses? By more and more and more awareness, nothing else; Awareness is the only heat which can cook and boil your senses. No other way for boiling your senses. So kaayendriya siddihi; when your sense organs and body is riped, automatically the extraordinary powers start expressing.
See whoever got healed of their disease by the levitation process, samana process, will be a powerful healer. Now not only your senses are riped, now your bio memory knows the science of healing the bio memory. Touch any bio memory with the disease you had, simply that bio memory will learn the healing and they will be healed. Please understand if you had a stomach problem and you got healed just by the levitation, the samana, you are now master of healing stomach problems; any stomach disorder you touch their stomach and heal their bio memory will just like that get healed. If you had gynecological problems and got healed just by the samana balancing means the levitation anybody who have that problem touch them and heal; their bio memory will be healed.
Now your bio memory has not only riped; see riping is the experience, the side effect of that ripening is the siddhi the power of healing any bio memory which has that problem. If you had a back pain and got healed by being in the samana state or levitation, anybody who has a back pain, touch them, their body, their bio memory will just learn from your bio memory and it will just heal itself. Now you are specialist in back pain; specialist in healing back pain.
So kaayendriya siddhi; the word siddhi should not be translated just as an extraordinary power; no. It should be translated as ripening of your bio memory, the part of the body When it ripens not only it heals itself, as a side effect it gets many other powers. How to know what kind of siddhi will come? What part of the body is ripened? Patanjali explains that as a huge chapter. How to infuse awareness into every part of the body and ripen that part of the body and how the extraordinary siddhi is expressed, what kind of siddhi is expressed. For each part Patanjali tells about this as a separate chapter vibhooti padam, vibhooti padaha. When I talk about that chapter I will explain detailed way different kinds of tapas for different siddhi.
Here understand this much kaayendriya siddhi ashuddhi kshayaat tapasaha. When the body and sense organs are ripened by the tapas, the purification process, all the impurities are eliminated from the body and sense organs and bio memory and extra ordinary powers express because of the ripening of the body and bio memory. Literally the Master’s presence is everyday cooking all of you intensely. Intense cooking is happening. That is why I say do not miss a single chance of allowing the eN effect on you. Allow the eN effect intensely on you whatever possible way.
Now come on let me create the eN effect on the Toronto devotees, Canada. All the devotees in Toronto just sit straight in a relaxed way, just sit straight. You don’t need to close your eyes, just sit straight. You will have the eN effect happening in you all now. Never miss even one possibility or a chance to be in the Master’s presence. Of course now in the modern day, please understand in those days physical presence is only called as presence. Now I declare as I am the incarnation of the IT age the virtual presence is equal to the physical presence. So wherever people sit with me virtually with this two way communication, I am able to see you all you are able to see me, the physical presence happens; the eN effect happens with the same intensity.
In the modern day the incarnations have to update the capacity and ability and the possibilities through which the experiences are shared. When your senses are ripened not only the extraordinary powers express, the tremendous transformation expresses through it. The character you show is a solid, unimaginable, amazing, divine spiritual leela. The grace you radiate, the joy with which you handle life, even the abusal done to you the grace with which you walk out, will be unimaginable. So the eN effect is the powerful experience through which tapasaha and siddhi means boiling and ripening of your body and senses happens. Apart from that the tremendous character, powerful character you express happens through the sense organs.
I bless you all to experience tapas. I bless you all to experience, achieve, live, express, radiate, share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda Thank you. 50:51
PYS : 92 Master Technique to Realize Yourself
DATE: January 7th 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 38:05
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. So many questions everyday now; it’s ok I will spend more time, but I will answer all the questions. So in the last session yesterday I was answering one part of the questions of Chirantana. Now I will complete the remaining part of that question.
How do we identify, comply with and complete an engram in a chakra without recreating more engrams while doing so? Be present, be unclutched, be aware; all these words denote the same experience; same process from different angle. So in this three if you do any one process that’s enough; that’s enough to comply, complete. When I say complying and completing, it does not mean going after the engram or breaking that engram. When you are with awareness whatever happens is completion. If a thread goes from one chakra to another do we fulfill it in the lower chakra or higher chakra. Don’t bother about that. It will be independent one by one only; one you will comply complete, only then it will go to the next. It will not, you don’t need to choose.
I have another one question from Ananda Kavya. Swamiji I have been contemplating the sutra you gave us in the past two days. Would you please help me to understand the following? Does living inside the body independently mean functioning the body only with pure consciousness? If so does it mean only enlightened being can have this experience? If not how can an ordinary person to practice or experience this? First thing does living inside the body independently mean functioning the body only with pure consciousness? Yes. If so does it mean only enlightened being can have this experience?
No. Enlightened being has the ultimate experience of this definition but you can start practicing. Again, all teachings, all techniques, all practices, boils down to this one maha mantra, maha vakya; be unclutched. So start unclutching. You can see an ordinary person can practice and experience this. See when I say unclutching means more intense. Every night unclutch and fall into that space. So that when you wake up first thought will be oh you have been unclutched whole night. Let you drill yourself in unclutching, let you just drill yourself by unclutching, grill your whole being by unclutching.
Michael - Can you please expand on what you meant the other day when you talked about complying with and completing? I think I answered. I answered this complying and completing both happens by unclutching. So it may, may not lead to action. That is not a problem; but complying and completing means unclutching.
Let’s enter into the next Patanjali yoga sutra; today’s sutra 92nd sutra in the second chapter 41st verse. Subject ‘Master Technique to Realize Yourself’. Satva suddihi soumanasyai kaakrendriya jayaatma darshana yogyatvaanicha satva suddihi soumanasya ekaakriya indriya jaya aatmadarshana yogyatvaani cha. Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as there also arise purification of satva, cheerfulness of mind, concentration, conquest of the organs and fitness for the realization of the self. Prabhavananda says moreover one achieves purification of the heart, cheerfulness of mind, the power of concentration, control of patience and fitness for the vision of the atman. Sachidananda translates as, moreover one gains purity of satva, cheerfulness of mind, one pointedness, mastery over the senses and fitness for self realization.
So basically Patanjali tries to describe by the purity, he continuing from the last sutra. If the purity is continuously being practiced, satva suddhi, upon purification of the satva, soumansya happiness, clarity of mind…..yesterday as I described Bhole baba that feeling of Bhole baba. See soucha gives you the science of pleasure. Again and again I wanted you to understand, purity is not morality. It is not given to you just as a morality. It is given to you as a mystical technique. Let me define mystery. When I say understand you are looking through the eyes, if you just listen it is a technical knowledge, if you try to do it for ten minutes immediately after listening you will try; I am looking through the eyes through the eyes; it is technique. But even when your bio memory, laziness and diverting tendency takes you over, you see your bio memory is basically filled with diverting tendency and laziness. After three minutes ehh I am not looking through the eyes... that diverting tendency; the technique, the shraddha in the technique will be lost. The shraddha in the tapas will be lost. But when that is lost by the diversion or by the laziness, even at those moments you stand no! I am going to do it. When you look through the eyes suddenly the mysteries of looking will be revealed to you which your ordinary brain never grasped.
Mysteries of looking means, let me define exactly how I am now seeing all of you. I will tell you. Let us take this example. With this one example I will reveal the definition of mystery. So from last two days we are working with this one example of looking through the eyes. When you look through the eyes means with the awareness, eyes are not seeing. Through eyes, something else which you call or feel as you is seeing. All of you are clear about it. When you initially start practicing that, it is technique, when you establish yourself in that beyond the diverting tendency of your mind and the laziness of your bio memory, if you are able to see, when you stand with shraddha and start looking, you will suddenly see why you are seeing. I can tell you very clearly why I am seeing. I am telling you exactly what is happening in me. From this you understand what all can happen in you.
Like Krishna says knowing my inner space you be liberated from your inner space. When you know my inner space you know exactly the sutras and principles with which inner space is working. Apply this same sutra and principle in your inner space. You will have the clarity and liberation. Now as on now let me describe as I am seeing. I am not seeing the individual persons. Here one batch, a cluster, means a group is sitting which does not have individual identity, it’s like a huge sheep. This group one batch does not have an individual identity. It is just sitting there. Any one small thing happens to one person will affect all the people; that’s the way I am seeing now; like a group energy, that’s it. There’s no individual. I will first describe the scene as it is then I will try to explain. Because it is...
I am throwing too many mystical doors open. Poison in the Shiva’s throat halagala is Maya and that takes care too many great mystical things are not revealed verbally and transmitted to the world. That is one of the biggest problems. In all Masters throat that halagala comes and sits. Only to a certain extent you can throw this, you can verbalize and release. Anyhow now I will do it step by step. So here I am seeing one group which has no individual identity. If one person is affected all other will be affected. If one person is raised all will rise. That is the way I am seeing this batch.
And there are few bodies are not even awakened to the idea that they have a individual body; maybe those kids. I feel they don’t even have a idea that they have a separate body. They are like a sheep. They will go together and if they are not awakened maybe later on they will be awakened. If not they will just like that like a sheep they will die. When a person is not awakened the idea that they have an individual body, individual identity, it has some bad things and some good things. There will not be individual suffering; same way there will not be individual enlightenment. The possibility of enlightenment does not exist. There are some kids still I am seeing the individuality is not awakened. It is yet to awaken.
So here I am seeing one small batch which has no other emotion except the simple love. And again I am seeing those few kids no individual identity. It’s almost like a tree or a plant or a animal; just the body. It is there but the possibility for individuality to happen exists. This is the way how I am seeing. Why I decide to see continuously? See this group even though doesn’t have individual identity has some devotion. Here I am seeing devotion is there but the individual identity also is there. Maybe that is the reason for jealousy. Along with devotion that individual identity is also showing the head. I am here I am here. But here in this small batch I don’t see that I am here I am here idea. It is there; just a kind of a group; batch.
If I have to describe how from the snake’s mouth the tongue will again and again come out and show that it is there it is there. Same way I can see that in every body it is like one cluster of devotion. If I consider devotion as a lump of clay, there is big lump of clay but like the snakes tongue from every body that individual identity comes up and says once in a while ehh I am here I am here. But in this group I am not seeing the snakes tongue coming out saying that, recording, registering the individual identity’s presence. This is the scene I am seeing.
Let me describe why I am seeing. I am seeing just because the devotion of this two group requires that my seeing will ripen them to the next, next level. Sometime you will see some volunteers or devotees or so called rich donors will be staying in the ashram for weeks. I will not see them even once. Even if I see them I will not look at them. Ah…. ok….I see….. take care; that’s it. But for no reason some local villager would have come with little ragi or not even ragi, some food or without anything, some disease for healing. You see I will be standing and talking to that person and answering the question and attending. You can’t define. Logically if you see if you look from the organizational view point oh…. he can spend with these people little more time. At least the organization will become strong. They will give their time, talent, treasure. He is going around and playing with the people who neither have time, treasure, talent anything. People only who have disease what is the use?
If you look through the eyes you will know what you really want to see, what really need to be seen and what you don’t need to see; what you don’t want to see. In my case I have only two thing; what wants me to see it, what does not want me to see it; that’s all. I myself do not have idea what I want to see or what I don’t want to see. That doesn’t exist in me. What wants to be seen by me? What does not want to be seen by me? Some so called rich guys all these fellows they come; they act as if they want to be seen me. But they have a deep fear; if this guy sees me I may become devoted to him. I don’t know what will happen. There are so many vested interests, other things. Other strings which are pulling them back from inside telling me ehhh don’t see me don’t see me. You better go, enough…… you just give me the consolation but don’t look at me. Mouth says see me see me. The heart says no, no… go….. go quickly go to the next person; So many are waiting in the sarva darshan. Then I say all right tathasthu and move to the next person.
In your case when you look through the eyes you will realize what you want to see and what you don’t want to see. That understanding is what I call mystery. Please understand whenever you use the technique and solve a un understandable, unsolvable happening of your life it is called mystery. Please understand if you feel you are touching through your body and experience the science of pleasure and be liberated from that conflicts which you may need to go through for the sake of pleasure in the world, you understood the mystery of pleasure of science. Understand if you understand the science of pleasure through touch, if you understand you are touching through the body, two thing will happen; the unnecessary trial and error touches which you are doing for the sake of pleasure will be dropped and what you really feel will bring pleasure again and again, you will create your life in such a way, such a situation, you will see that that pleasure is available to you and you are available to that pleasure. So the conflict which you may need to go through in the life for the sake of pleasure will suddenly disappear. That is what I say understanding the mystery of science of pleasure.
Attend to every sense like this with this clarity of purity, the mysteries will be revealed to you. This is what a brahmachari is supposed to do in his life. Then after you understand, you will create a life around you; what is that which gives you excitement again and again, what is that you wanted around you; you will create a life around you. The person who has created a beautiful conflict free life around him which may, may not suit with any organized setup of human beings living together. It may not setup in any varna any ashrama. When I say ashrama the brahmacharya grihastha vanaprastha sanyasa or even my own organization; it may not always suit but you have the clear understanding of your mystery. This is what it is the mystery of pleasure for me. This is what is mystery of seeing for me. This is what is mystery of taste for me and you set up your life as you want around you and you live; you are called Paramahamsa and you know very clearly clear mystical way what you want, what for you can spend and what can constantly keep you in eternal bliss.
And I tell you whenever you establish, you are established in your eternal bliss you will be constantly teaching that science to whoever comes around you and automatically a community will grow around you. This is what is a cell reproducing itself. I am actually not interested in having a huge community in one place. No. I want all you guys to become people who experience that mystery and go and be in different, different…… either be a head of any community which I establish or create your own community. I am very clear about it. That is the reason from the very beginning I never centralized all the wealth, human resource, anything to one place.
Cult means a place or a group flourishes only in a small place only in one particular place. I am available, alive, flourishing, being cherished, expanding and exploding in 197 countries. So I cannot be a cult. I am a culture. The word cult needs to be understood. It’s like a happening or brainwashing in one place where people stay together. Because of staying together constantly they get into one kind of idea or mental setup. That can be called as cult. But here we are not in one place. At least 197 countries people are working with me or I am working with them. Just this birthday was celebrated in 107 places all over the world and in the ashram 108. In 108 places, January 1st and 2nd 108 places people had my darshan. People have seen me and celebrated my birthday. Ha…. ha….
Let’s come back to our subject mystery. I am not interested in all you guys staying in one place. That’s the reason I did not centralize all the wealth and human resource, everything to one place. I created so many temples, places, ashrams everywhere. Why do you think? Because I want more and more Paramahamsas. Some of you when you become Paramahamsas your gratitude and devotion will be so overflowing you will just feel like melting and settle down at my feet with me. That’s great! OK. Some of you when you become Paramahamsas you will have the tremendous gratitude, overflowing ecstasy; but you may want to live somewhere, where you share that with so many other people. That is also ok. Some of you may feel not only wanted to live somewhere else, different setup altogether; then you don’t even need to be part of my sangha. Be somewhere you will be part of my mission, may not be part of my sangha, organisation.
Understand I am creating space for all three group; one group after becoming Paramahamsa overflowing gratitude, joy, just melt down; settling here itself. Great! There will be another one group after becoming Paramahamsa, great deep gratitude, love, joy, feeling connection; but wanted to be in some other place geographically but with the same ideology. For them only I created so many different organizations all over the world. Being part of my sangha, be somewhere, be head and reproduce more and more Paramahamsas. And there will be another one group; overflowing gratitude became Paramahamsa, feeling connection; but does not want to be legal part of this sangha; wanted to be somewhere else and not even wanted to be part of the legal sangha. Great! Then be part of my mission; may not be part of the organization. I have place for you also. Then be a Paramahamsa wherever you are; go on reproducing, go on creating more and more Paramahamas, more and more enlightened beings.
I just wanted to define clearly my vision; creating more and more Paramahamsas who are capable of creating more and more Paramahamsas. It should become like a millions of swans flying in the sky; understand only dogs hit each other, fight with each other. Swans never hit each other. If you see two dog in the street, such a big road but they will be fighting grrr grrr grr. But see millions of swans flying, they will be flying so close. Have you ever seen one swan hitting each other and falling? Swans don’t get into the traffic jam or accidents. Only dogs even if there is so much space constantly gets into the fight and accidents. Swans will not have conflict. Dogs even if it is two will always have conflict. I am interested in all of you becoming swans, so that whether you are here, not here, there will not be conflict. If you are a dog wherever you are, you will be creating conflict. I have seen some dogs, they are so possessive of their territory even 200, 300 feet this guy will be with closed eyes sleeping but suddenly his face expression will change by the smell somebody entering into his territory; grrrrr grrrrr he will start.
Understand the mystery of pleasure through the eyes, through the ears; by continuously looking, seeing, experiencing, through those senses; means achieving the purity. Suddenly you will realize. Actually when you understand the science of pleasure through this spiritual process you will understand the science of bliss and you will not waste your time. Further things of what Patanjali calls satva suddhi, when the satva suddhi happens means the purification of the senses, the understanding, you see when you stop the trial and error method, that space only I call as satva shuddhi. All the trial and error is over. Whether this is giving you pleasure, that is giving you joy, this is that, trial and error is over. Now you know very clearly what gives you satva shuddhi.
Soumanasya that brings a tremendous happiness; nothing can take away the happiness which you are having. When you have the understanding of the mystery, the trial and error method will not be there. You will not be trying and erring for the sake of your pleasure. You just know what adds joy for your life and you will arrange your life based on that. And you will live it. The intense happiness which comes out of your being by the understanding of the mystery of pleasure is what Patanjali calls soumanasya. What all happens by purity, Patanjali is explaining in this sutra.
Then the ekagriya the ability to focus happens. When you know this is what is pleasure then naturally you will be focused on that. You will not be wasting your time. Mastery of senses means you will become master of your senses. Senses will not be using you. You will be the master of senses. Destroying the senses is not the right thing and being the slave of the senses is also not right thing. Be master of the senses that is the right thing. And naturally because of all this, atma darshana you became worthy of self realization. Yogyatvaani you became ready for self realization. How the purity prepares you for self realization, Patanjali describes through this sutra.
I bless you all to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you. 37:53
PYS :93 Contentment and Bliss

Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. Today’s subject for satsang is ‘Experience the Supreme State of Bliss’. Before entering into the today’s sutra one question; the question for Swamiji’s morning discourse from Megan Bishop, Calgary, Canada. Nithyanandam Swamiji. Further to the Nithyananda sutra and aparigraha in the quantum physics and quantum biology whatever happens in the reciprocation of the happenings is reflected in your neuro biology is responsible for what is happening in bio memory which is responsible for your existential reality. This was the statement I made spontaneously few days before in morning satsang. So the devotee Megan Bishop is writing, ‘Is the following interpretation correct?’
Subtle forms are energy materialize to form our body, this body is in turn affected by our thoughts and actions which can rearrange the body and nervous system causing disease. By becoming non possessive of the body we release our influence over it allowing it to heal and achieve its natural healthy state. As it heals layer by layer you finally reach a state of existing completely in the present which releases you from the bondage of karma. Ultimately the realization of the body as a mere vehicle of your travels you merge with the existential energy and experience yourself as the divine presence. Megan, Megan from Calgary is writing.
Your interpretation is perfect, but not complete. This sutra came out so spontaneously from such a high space. I myself going to interpret and give the meaning for this sutra 108 times. The first explanation I have already given to the ashramites and it is already uploaded in eN TV; 5th January news on eN TV, it is available. See, this sutra which I uttered in quantum physics and quantum biology whatever happens is the and the reciprocation of the happenings is reflected in our neuro biology is responsible for what is happening in your bio memory which is responsible for your existential reality. It came from a very high space suddenly spontaneously.
4;22 I am interpreting this sutra from many angle giving new, new understandings on quantum physics, quantum biology, neuro biology, bio memory and existential reality. These are the key terms in that sutra. So for each key term when you have the each layer understanding the whole statement, sutra will have a new meaning. Each key term you can experience from seven layers. So five key term into 7, 35 into 7. So, so many ways we can understand. So many truths can be revealed from this one sutra. First sutra for this…. first interpretation for this sutra I have given to the ashramites. As you may all be aware, every day I am conducting strong meditation and spiritual sessions for the ashramites. In that I have spoken elaborately. That is already uploaded in 5th January news on eN TV. So I request Megan to watch that interpretation. Your interpretation is also ok, is perfect. So I will continue to interpret on the sutra. Maybe you can use that to understand that sutra more and more deeper.
Now we will enter into the Patanjali’s yoga sutras. Today’s sutra is 93rd sutra of Patanjali and in second chapter 42nd verse. Experience the supreme state of bliss is the subject. Santoshaat anuttamaha sukha labaha. Santoshaat anuttamaha sukha labaha. Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as from contentment comes superlative happiness. As the result of contentment one gains supreme happiness this is Prabhavananda’s translation. Prabhavananda’s translation is as a result of contentment one gains supreme happiness. Sachidananda translates by contentment supreme joy is gained.
I can say this is the straight sutra to enlightenment; to the ultimate truth. First of all you need to know an important fact and truth - no roundabout ways short cuts; please understand there is no roundabout ways; because there is no roundabout ways there is no short cut. There is only straight path. When you start believing there are roundabout ways you start searching for shortcut. Person who believes there is roundabout way is cheated. Person who believes there is shortcut is cheated. There is neither roundabout way nor shortcut for the ultimate; just simple straight path. Patanjali is giving that simple straight path in this sutra. Either the simple straight path looks too small, too simple for you and you feel wow it’s a shortcut or the same simple straight path, you feel oh it is complicated, it is roundabout way and you suffer.
But path and path showers are no way responsible for your feeling it is round about or simple straight forward. They are no way responsible for your feeling it is roundabout or shortcut. It is just simple truth. I tell you, all sadhana fails when you think path is roundabout. If you have over confidence it is shortcut. You don’t do sadhana. That is the biggest problem. All sadhana fails when you think path is roundabout. If your overconfidence path is shortcut sometimes you don’t even start sadhana. It’s time we understand path is simple and straight. You just need to live it. You just need to execute it. Santoshat anuttamaha sukha labaha. Through contentment supreme, ultimate joy is achieved.
Learning contentment; I think it is very plain, straight forward simple opening. There is no other way; anything else leads to more and more complication. I cannot interpret on this sutra. I will apply this sutra in our day to day life and give you all the possibility and possible situations. That’s what I can do, because this sutra is so straight no interpretation is required, no commentary is required. I will just apply and expand on the mental contradictions and conflicts you go through when you try to apply this sutra in your day to day life.
When you learn, when you decide to be content, the first biggest problem you face is you will feel almost everything is great, clear. Carpet is completely properly covered but that one corner I think just if I pull that one corner and properly straighten it then I am contented. That is where the problem will start. You will not have too many opposition to be content in your being. You will have only one or two. I think within a month my house will be sold then I will be content. No, no within a month I will divorce my wife, then I am content. No, no, no just within next week my son will get a job then I am content. Just only one or two will stand.
Do not ever expect you will have a army of enemies when you get ready to fight with your inner space. No! Your inner space is very intelligent, very cunning. It will give you only one enemy at a time. You will think, after all my inner space is so beautiful, my mind is so cooperating with me. It is saying only one enemy why not handle it. It’s fair game. Whole life I was struggling with discontentment now I am trying to practice contentment after listening to Patanjali and Paramahamsa Nithyananda and my mind is also cooperating. Almost 99% it is cooperating. Only one enemy is saying why not just alter it, then I am really be content.
Understand the moment you accept there is one enemy for your contentment from outside, you are done. By the time you kill that enemy your great friendly mind is ready with another one enemy. By the time you finish that second enemy, your great friendly mind has already made you forget that contentment need to be practiced. You are out, out of the path and you are in the same rut. Understand if your mind brings ten enemies he is your direct enemy. He is at least courageous. He says come on lets fight. You and me let me see. But your mind will not do that. Just see when you want to be content how many enemies are coming. Only one; there will not be second or third, only one. Your mind will say everything is great. I am really content just my husband needs to fall in tune with Swamiji; nothing else. I think that will happen in few months. No, no, no, I am completely content. There is nothing which disturbs my suffering just this one thing if that money comes I am done.
Your mind knows the capacity of your shraddha; sincerity. The capacity of your shraddha is only one thought. So if your mind can manage one thought and hit your shraddha, you are done. You are done. Your mind knows. Nothing much is required to disrupt you from the path, from the sadhana, from the experience. Nothing much is required. Understand nothing much is required; just one small problem. I think I am completely content only this incense smell is too much. I should tell Swamiji tomorrow onwards not to have incense. That’s enough that is enough. By the time you attend to that, there is one more small enemy. By the time you attend the second enemy, your idea you have to be contented that is supposed to be your path is lost and your mind is laughing at you. Ha, Ha.
Be very clear, for contentment you will not have too many enemies. When I say now Patanjali says contentment directly leads you to the ultimate happiness santoshaat anuttama sukha labaha. Decide now you are going to practice. No question of even allowing one enemy. Even if you are convinced of one enemy ehhhh I am really content. Just this my department one work is pending if I am done I am completely content done. No. I am content from now. Out of that content feeling I will work. Whenever that content feeling is disturbed I will throw away everything and get back to that contentment again. As long as I am floating, gliding in the contentment I will glide.
Understand contentment is like a huge snowcapped mountain. Glide in that, ski in that mountain. The moment you hit the ground or the rock or the floor go back. Now it is time no more skiing, no more moving, no more walking; go back to the snow capped mountain go back to the snow. Yes. The moment you see you have hit the ground, you are on the rough terrain, you are on the stone and the sand; decide No! I am dropping everything. Get back to the contentment again. Take time off. Decide I am not interested in doing anything now. I am dropping everything and I am just getting back to my space of contentment. And I tell you your bio memory is very responsible. Whenever you withdraw from your day to day activity suddenly it feels threatened and it gets back to contentment.
I tell you I am talking to all the ashramites also. Whenever you feel you are in discontentment drop all the department work. Drop everything. Otherwise also you don’t do that is different. Drop everything get back to your room and say, No I am getting back to my contentment my santoshaha my anuttamaha only then I am going to work. Otherwise I am dropping everything. Do it. Your bio memory is very responsible. Your mind, logic only is irresponsible. Your bio memory is very responsible. It will say no. I cannot be like this. How long I can be like this; not being useful, not being productive, not doing anything; how can I be like this? Then what is the only way? Get back to contentment. Get back to the contentment.
Sukhaha labaha sukaha labaha means attainment of the ultimate joy. Get back to the contentment. Tell yourself and not only that, once you dump like this everything and get back to your contentment, your mind knows how to get back the contentment quickly. Otherwise your mind knows you are not going to get back to your routine. You are not going to get back to the normal life. So the fear that you have to get back to the normal life means you have to become content again. If you are working in the society or working with our sangha, for both of you I give you this as a technique. Whenever you are discontented drop everything. No! I am not going to job today. Let whatever happen, happen. They will throw me out of job there will be problem, no other way. I have to face. But this is going to be my life. Contentment.
Naturally what will happen? Your bio memory will feel threatened now. Oh God my life is going to be disrupted. I cannot handle this. Now what to do? My wife is going to question me. My family is going to suffer. So many things are at stake. But you tell very clearly. I am going to move my body only if I am contented. Naturally your mind will find out some method. No, no let me get contented, let me get contented. It will find some technique, some method, some sutra, some idea; something will click. Ehhhh There are so many people who are in much worse situation than me. There are so many people who are suffering in thousands of ways than me. Some way when you put yourself, when you put your bio memory especially in the survival threat, it will just supply some ten truth ideas to push you to the contentment and not only that instead of being load, instead of being arguing against you, your bio memory will be supporting you, pushing you.
I tell you strike is the best way. Do the self strike, noncooperation movement with your life. See, when your logic says no, no this one small thing you correct it then you are content. Don’t listen; just say then alright till I am feeling content I am not going to do anything. Drop! Do a strong strike in your life. Naturally if you are in the house the whole family will ask what happened to you? Why are you sitting like this? The colleagues everybody will ask. In the ashram you don’t need to do anything, I myself will be asking. What is going on? Why you are not up and active in your routine? So naturally what will happen? Your bio memory is under pressure to get back to the routine, to get back to the normalcy. So the only way is, if you can get back to contentment, you can get back to normalcy. What will happen? Your bio memory will find some method, put pressure on bio memory. Being content is the only way to exist otherwise you are not going to exist.
Another one important thing; your identity feels comfortable only when you are in your regular, smooth, routine and normal life. When you break that suddenly your identity feels threatened. Now you are saying the only way for you not feeling threatened or you to be peaceful is get back to contentment. That’s the only way. That’s the only escape route. Now what to do then? Now nothing can be done. The only way now is get back to contentment. If I give you any special technique or idea to get back to contentment, your mind will say no, no, no this all I tried two three times, doesn’t work, it’s all useless. No. Your mind will do that. I tried thousands of techniques from hundreds of masters. Nothing works for me. I am too big guy. No! Everybody thinks they are bigger guys than the masters; too big guys. So I don’t want to give you any technique or method separately; just do strike. I am not going to function if I am discontent.
Do strike completely. Tell yourself no food, no water, no question of sleeping and I will roll on the bed maybe two three hours your body will fall asleep. When it wakes up what to do? Get back to contentment. Then let us talk anything else. No, no, no tomorrow I will get back to contentment. Today I will finish just this one work. I have to go for naivedyam to the temple. That nothing can be done. Maybe if go to temple will have contentment; nothing doing. I am not going to do anything; the contentment is the only thing. Then naturally what will happen? You will not go to naivedyam and the information will come to me. I will call for enquiry and you have the pressure now. There is going to be strong puja. Now then what to do? Your mind suddenly will find out. Yes, yes, alright think what is here. It will somehow support you and get you back to the contentment.
Understand let your bio memory get you back to contentment. Then it will become a system in you. It will become a regular travelled path in you. So whenever you drop from the contentment, again that path will open. Ehhhh otherwise he will lie down again he will do strike, he will not eat, he will not drink water, he will not go for routine; then it is a big head ache. Create chaos in you. I am telling you create chaos in you. That’s the only way to find solution. More and more you try to keep your make up perfect, the more and more diseases are growing inside. Instead churn the root of the disease, create chaos. Don’t bother about make up. Suddenly you will say oh God! Now nobody is there to take care of me I have to take care of myself. Nobody is responsible I have to be responsible. Just shift the responsibility to your identity which has to keep itself alive. 30:59 You may think no, no, Swamiji, my mind is not easy. Even if I lie down, that’s what I am doing for last eight years after coming to the ashram; nothing works. No….. try. You may be lying down for wrong reasons. Lie down for right reasons. Do strike for right reasons. Simply your bio memory will find a way, path, to get back to the normalcy, get back to your life, get back to your regular routine; because by nature your identity will feel shaken, disturbed when your normalcy and life is not going smoothly. When it is not going smoothly it will feel disturbed. So I am making it very clear make contentment as the first vrata like breathing. I will be contented only then I am going to do any other activity in my life further.
No, no, no do just this one activity you will be contented tomorrow. No! I am not going to be that. Now I have to be established in contentment only then I am going to do anything. Till then strike. Break all the routine. Break your regular life. What will happen to your whole being? Whole identity will shiver and it will somehow put you in contentment. I tell you, let your identity shiver and put you in contentment. That contentment will never be taken away from you. Because even if your logic diverts you from that contentment your bio memory knows no, no, no, no push him back. I need to live a normal life.
Just try this strike for three four days nothing else is required; especially a tight routined place like our organization. Here you have to be smiling because 25 people will be asking you what happened what happened what happened. You have to be up and running because 100 people are watching you what happened what happened what happened? I am telling you really, whenever I put people back on their own bio memory, when it becomes their own responsibility, they just stand up. When I give too many supports then the whole thing collapse down because they try to lean on me more, more and more and more. No other way; no other way. The only way is you taking up the responsibility.
So tell yourself I have to be content. Till then I am not going to get into any of my daily routine. Come on. In ten minutes your mind will put you back into contentment. Even if your mind is not putting, the bio memory will put you back into contentment. It will say no, no, no, no we are contented, it’s ok; life is ok. After two days or three days if you lose that contentment, again the same thing, strike; you can even write a board and keep it in your board visually I am striking. Discontentment go, go, contentment come, come. Some slogans you can write to make it visual more appealing for you. So whenever you have a discontentment put that board outside your bedroom or outside your cot. I am on strike for contentment. No I am telling you really, that boiling; now you know, the moment you put the board your department head will know the news. In two three hours it will go to Swamiji and he will ask this idiot, same routine for this fellow; will be called for enquiry. You know all the pressure. And all the people who are living in your area they all know once in two days the board is up for strike. They know, so what will happen? You are putting yourself under the clear pressure I have to get back to contentment. This is the situation of ashramites.
I am talking about the outside devotees who are working in the world. Naturally one day you can take off. Once in two days continuously take off three four days what will happen to your job? What will happen to your spouse? They know this fellow went to that Swami and learnt some madness and he is having a board, he is on strike and no dog is bothered about his strike. No, they will laugh at you. You will create more chaos for you and your identity will be afraid of the more chaos. But you be strong. I am not bothered. Any chaos is ok for me, but I have to get back to contentment. Nothing can be done. Don’t trust the stability of the outer world. Don’t base the stability of the outer world as a base for your contentment. No. It is a quality, not stability of the outer world. It’s a quality of the inner world. The moment you are made to believe no, no, no just this one happening has happened in the outer world it is done I am content. No. You are trapped. Wild strike is the only method.
Naturally what will happen to your bio memory? O God this fellow is going crazy, whole thing is tumbling down and I am in a big pressure. Let me get back. Something will happen to you. That is what I call shraddha vivecha. Understand, the technique now which I am giving to you, Nachiketa practiced. He saw something is wrong. He decided to go to the extreme. He went to the father and asked to whom are you going to give me. He said to Yama and this fellow is ready to go to Yama. Let me die but I will have the fulfillment which I am seeking for. I cannot live with this same nonsense. It’s dragging, dragging, dragging. No, let’s decide to complete the inner space. The decision to complete the inner space even at the cost of striking is the only method, only way, to the sukha labaha the ultimate happiness.
I tell you, you have only two way of living. One as on now managing, managing, managing just managing with make up and going around. Great! But how long you will drag like this? When you don’t have contentment whole world should know you are not contented. Then naturally what will happen? No! Your identity will boil. If everybody knows once in two days the board is on your bed, nobody will respect you. What kind of fellow this fellow. Then they know. See all I am saying is keep the dirt open when it is dirty. What will happen? Now your bio memory is under pressure. You cannot maintain any image. You cannot maintain any identity. It will be boiling. So, simply your bio memory has to find a method. No other way you have to get back to contentment; then do the makeup. Decide only if you are contented you will come out and be part of the regular routine and life. If not, put a strike board; that’s it. I tell you in two three strike somehow your bio memory will learn to get you back to contentment.
I will not be able to tell how it will learn; it will come up with some 1000s of ideas. Either it will make you understand ehhh so many blessings are there in your life what are you doing? Or it will tell no, no, no, no, no so many good things; somehow it will get you back. This is what I call creating chaos for order. If you are trying to create continuously order, the chaos will be threatening you. You just create chaos; simply bio memory has no other way except putting you into the order. I tell you it will put you into the order. So do not allow discontentment to be part of your life and running the life normally. No. Contentment is the only thing. That is life. That is life. That is only life and that is life.
I bless you all to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you. 43:36

Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. Dear devotees from around the world who are sitting with me physically and who are sitting with me physically in different places around the world; devotees who are virtually; my blessings to all of you. Before entering into today’s satsang I want to tell you all one thing, all the devotees around the world please just sit in a very relaxed way if you can in padmasana or in an ordinary way in completely relaxed mood, unclutched mood with open eyes. You will see the intense eN effect on all of you and on the world. I am so happy that we are creating such an intense positive eN effect all over the world every day.
Understand if you can sit in padmasana, in padmasana when you sit whatever experience happening in you is authentic. In padmasana it is not easy to lift the body. Padmasana and samana mudra is the most difficult poses your body can’t be moved but in that any movement is happening in you is authentic kundalini awakening. So it is good for you and for the world. So, all devotees please get to padmasana and samana mudra. Samana mudra means the upper thumb, the right thumb should be upper, left thumb should be lower and locking the hands. I am so happy that the intense spiritual energy is exploding everywhere all over the world. I can already see people have started experiencing the eN effect in LA, in San Jose. Within Maha Shivratri, hundred satsang centres will sit with us everyday live and experience eN effect
From Shivratri day March 2nd, 21 days we will create intense eN effect all over the world in 108 live satsang centers and prove in that 21 days the whole crime rate of the world has come down. And I declare now itself in that one month no natural calamities on the planet earth. Let it go on record. Let it be on record that one month no natural calamity, no war activities will be on the planet earth. We will be creating 108 live satsang centers sitting with us creating eN effect for real, real, real world peace and bliss.
I request all the devotees to start working for it. So, from March 2 every day we will sit together 108 places at a time creating intense eN effect every day. First thing that eN effect will heal the individual bodies in which the eN effect is happening and it will create tremendous joy and conscious bliss, healing in the body, joy in the mind, bliss in the consciousness; above all intense conscious positive energy and coherence in the cosmos. We will prove the effect of incarnation on the planet earth from this March 2nd next 21 days
So today will be the trailer and trial. Now you will see all the devotees who are sitting with us virtually will have the intense eN effect and the levitation experience. Please be seated in padmasana and samana mudra. All over the world, all our ashrams and temples I request all of you sit in the garbha mandir, main shrine itself so that seeing the deity I will recognize which ashram. If you have a temple put the camera facing the deity. You all face me just like Seattle is sitting in a right way. Seattle is sitting in a proper way in garbha mandir itself they are sitting; the way I can see the deity. If you don’t have a temple, create one soon.
Let’s enter into today’s satsang; Today’s subject – ‘Sacred truths to Experience the eN effect’ 95th Patanjali yoga sutra in the 2nd chapter 44th verse swadhyayat ishta devata samprayogah swadhyayat ishta devata samprayogah.
Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as by the repetition of the mantra comes the realization of the chosen deity.
Swami Prabhavananda translates as, as the result of study one obtains the vision of aspects of God which one has chosen to worship
Swami Sachidananda translates as by study of spiritual books comes communion with ones chosen deity.
I will translate this sutra word by word. Swadhyayat ishta devata samprayogah. The word swadhaya I want to translate in two way. One; imbibing the sacred truths ishta devta samprayogah; samprayogah, means I wanted to translate that word as communion. Please understand if you take this word based on the orthodox translation like a if you chant the mantra of the deity you will have the darshan of the deity. Or if you study the scriptures related to the deity you will have the darshan of the deity; doesn’t directly fit with our logic.
I wanted you to understand the deeper truths. Aurobindo very beautifully says, all the deities described in Vedic traditions are independent intelligence still available to relate with all of us as energy space. Just like how every individual human beings can be contacted, related, you can have communication and communion. All this energies or all this deities are personification of a particular energy and independent intelligence. Connecting with them, communicating with them, having communion with them is possible. I can say with this one clarity Aurobindo is able to break the pot and give us the right understanding about this sutra. How swadhyaya can lead to the ishta devta samprayogaha means how imbibing the sacred truths can make you experience those ishta devta, Gods.
For example Shiva, if you imbibe the sacred truth Shiva represents; Shiva represents pure enlightenment and bliss, bliss which expresses out of enlightenment, the power of enlightenment, the energy of enlightenment completely other worldly. When you understand that truths, imbibe the sacred truths Shiva represents, suddenly you see, you experience Shiva. You have communion with Shiva.
When you experience Devi, Devi represents energy, energy which keeps whatever you experience in that form. For example if you are experiencing the hall you are sitting, the energy is responsible for that hall to be in that shape of the hall. If you are listening to my words, energy is responsible to keep these words in the shape of the words till it falls in your ears and makes meaning. Otherwise it is an ordinary air which comes out of my mouth, gets converted into a particular sound and stays in the air for few seconds, reaches your ears and makes meaning and dissolves into your inner space. So the shakti which is responsible for this action if you understand you will experience communion with that shakti.
Please understand every truth; every sacred truth when you understand leads you to the communion with that source of that sacred truth. The source of the sacred truth is what I call personification of the truth, which you can use the word ishta devta. Shiva is the personification of enlightened bliss. Shiva is the personification of the Nithya Ananda, eternal bliss. When you catch that sacred truth which is Nithya Ananda the communion with Shiva happens. See when the levitation is happening suddenly such a joy and communion; it is not just a physical movement. It is coherence in your brain. Understand I am not using the word coherence in your mind because it cannot be measured; coherence in your physical brain that is why I’m challenging the scientific community it is measurable. I will measure and prove the positive effects of this levitation on body, brain physiology, neurobiology and psychology. Of course on consciousness which cannot be measured by science.
It is a communion. I am the personification of the sacred truth of eternal bliss experienced by unclutching. So when you unclutch you connect and have communion with me, experience that same in your inner space. That is what exactly I define as eN effect; experiencing the eternal bliss through unclutching. I can see the Los Angles the eN effect has started on everybody and Dallas the eN effect is going on. Are you guys are able to see? Eh connect. Let’s have en-effect on Ohio Columbus.
Experiencing, imbibing sacred truths; swadhyaya; please understand if you want to experience Vishnu, Vishnu represents a sacred truth of cosmic pervasiveness. Vishnuhu means cosmic all pervasiveness. Imbibe that sacred truth of cosmic all pervasiveness through deeper and deeper understandings and visualization. Then you will have the communion with Vishnu. Shiva is the extraordinary bliss of enlightenment, the cosmic auspiciousness, life, very source of life is cosmic auspiciousness. Understand I’m exactly giving you the beeja mantras to experience each God. Understand for modern day I’m giving you the beej mantra for each God in English.
How when the Gayatri mantra was revealed, just repeating that idea with which Vishwamitra revealed the Gayatri mantra will lead you to the have communion with Gayatri. How when each rishis revealed one, one Gods Goddesses mantra, grasping that sacred truth and imbibing will lead you to the communion with the, that ishta devta. I’m revealing the sacred truth, means the beeja mantra with the right understanding. When you imbibe this, when you make this understanding as part of your inner space, you will experience communion with that God, with that ishta devta.
First time in English the beeja mantra the sacred truths are getting revealed. Understand if Ganesha let us start with Ganapati, Ganesha is your ishta devta. Ganesha means Ganapati, the Vigneshwara. He represents extraordinary power of achievement, the pure efficiency. When you understand the sacred truth of pure efficiency…….Please understand pure efficiency without obstacles is Ganesha. If you imbibe the idea which I expressed now, pure efficiency with no obstacles, just pure efficiency, means life, you will experience Ganesha in you. When you meditate on this sacred truth of pure efficiency the non mechanical parts of your brain will be awakened which will look exactly in the form of Ganesha. You may think what mystery it is? It is mystery but truth.
When you contemplate, meditate, do manana. Imbibe the pure efficiency. Now whatever you understand by the word I am uttering, pure efficiency with no obstacles; Vigneshwara. Just do manana on this concept. Imbibe this concept for few days. Try to sit and imbibe this concept everyday; pure efficiency; how it feels like? How it will feel like? What it will do to me? Pure efficiency, that sacred truth; allow that sacred truth to sync in you. Sit….. I am giving you the exact technique. Sit in a complete unclutched way and this should be the only syllable, the sacred truth, beeja mantra, pure efficiency without obstacles. Imbibe this truth. Suddenly you will experience Ganesha. You will see his form. You will have communion with him. You may think how can I see that elephant face, big pot belly, four hand, the form of Ganesha by meditating on pure efficiency. You do not know. Rishis know the secret. When you meditate on pure efficiency some part of your non mechanical parts of the brain gets awakened. Picture of that awakening is Ganesha’s form. When those non mechanical parts of the brain awaken, the visualization experienced inside your inner space is the form of Ganesha. You will have communion with Ganesha.
Same way Subrahmanya; tremendous courage, pure courage, the pure valor; understand pure courage by its presence without any movement destroys enemy. Please understand this definition. Pure courage by its presence without any movement destroys enemy. Meditate on this pure courage, complete courage, valor, extraordinary courage; valor. Meditate on it. You will have darshan of Subramanya.
Surya, the eternally radiating; meditate; imbibe the truth of eternally radiating. I am giving you the technique. Sit in an unclutched way. Drop only this one idea in your inner space ‘eternally radiating’. You will have communion with Surya, darshan of Surya.
Vishnu next; same way sit in an unclutched way and drop this one sacred truth ‘all pervasiveness’; whatever is which pervades all that. You will see in the milky ocean of the cosmos, in the snake of the time, your super consciousness radiating in restful awareness in yogashayana, Vishnu. Understand this is the beeja mantra for Vishnu; cosmic all pervasiveness. Imbibe it; immediately you will have the eN effect of communion with Vishnu. Let us have the eN effect on Mexico. The devotees in Mexico my blessings; you are able to hear me? Let the devotees in Mexico have the eN effect. Let you all levitate intensely and experience the eN effect. Vishnu is the God of North American continent.
Devi, pure energy; meditate on this beeja mantra. Be unclutched and just drop this seed syllable in you ‘pure energy’. You will have communion with Devi.
Shiva; extraordinary bliss and power of enlightenment; this is the beeja mantra for Shiva the cosmic power and auspiciousness of enlightenment. Meditate on this truth ‘enlightened cosmic auspicious power’; the cosmic auspicious power that’s exactly the syllable, cosmic auspicious power. Imbibe this truth. You will have darshan of Anandeshwara, Shiva, Mahadeva.
Ultimately Guru, the pure enlightenment bliss and energy experienced by unclutching; pure enlightenment energy, bliss experienced by unclutching; that is Guru. Meditate on this truth ‘the eternal bliss experienced by unclutching’. Imbibe this truth. Meditate on this truth. You will have communion with Guru with the master.
I have given the sacred truths for major 7 traditions of Vedic tradition, Hinduism. Imbibe these sacred truths. Use these sacred truths like a seed. Sit in an unclutched way and drop that seed in you. You will experience communion with the ishta devta, with the God. Devotees in Mexico please be seated in padmasana and samana mudra, hands locked, you will experience levitation now, eN effect now. Just be in a relaxed way unclutched. swadhyayat ishta devata samprayogaha means by imbibing the sacred truths you will experience communion. You will have communion with that God who represents that sacred truth, who is embodiment of that sacred truth, who is personification of that sacred truth.
Now I will try to answer all the questions. I have a question from Vidya Durai from Atlanta. “The aparigraha discourse was really mind blowing. We have few questions based on the discourse. Question 1- How do we realize in which gama we are stuck? If during Nithya Dhyan one has complete awareness in ajna, does it mean from we are free from ajna or stuck in ajna?”
Be clear, if you are completely aware of some particular chakra you are free from that chakra, not stuck in that chakra. If you are stuck in some chakra you will have pain in the chakra. You will not have awareness in the chakra.
“During samana technique my body started rocking. Since then it has not stopped. It has intensified since then. What does this signify?’
It means your kundalini is awakened. The air energy, prana energy in you has become more and more pure. I can see in Columbus people having experience of levitation, eN effect is happening.
“Does it mean kundalini has been awakened?”
Yes Vidya Durai from Atlanta your kundalini is awakened. May not be fully but the amount your body can handle it is awakened getting awakened.
“Is this a big milestone in ones spiritual journey?”
Yes very big milestone. Initiation into levitation or kundalini awakening is a big breakthrough. See if I compare the spiritual journey into the going to a hotel and eating, till…. you see it’s like you go to a hotel, read the menu card, order the food, it is served in your table, you put the food in your mouth. Till you put the food in your mouth you can come back or you may not get the food. Same way, till you are initiated into the kundalini awakening and levitation you may just read the menu card and go away. Kundalini awakening and levitation experience is like you putting the food in the mouth and swallowing it. So it’s a big milestone. You have started fulfilling yourself. The fulfillment has started. Understand the fulfillment has started. That is the milestone on spiritual journey. Reading menu card is reading all the books. Ordering the food is coming and attending some programs with the master, experiencing kundalini awakening and levitation is like a Master served you the food and it has been put in your mouth and you have started eating. So it is surely a big milestone. I can see all over the world people experiencing the eN effect.
3rd question- In Gita does going beyond the form includes Krishna’s form too?
Vidya, yes. But now you don’t need to go beyond form. Grow, drop all other forms then Masters form will drop by itself. And we have a question from Sudarshini Madan.
“Dear Swamiji daily I am blessed to get new techniques from you and all are very inspiring but on only some techniques I am able to do and other techniques even logically I was not able to accept that it suits me.”
Sudha then be very clear it is not for you. I am giving it for all others. See, I have taken the responsibility of helping the whole world, all possible mental set ups. So naturally some techniques may not suit for you, you yourself will know that it is not for you then forget about it. I am talking for somebody else. Have little sympathy and compassion to sit through when I am talking to somebody else. May be the technique may not be useful for you, but the space you are sitting, the time which you are spending with me will be useful for you. So sit just for that.
“Please correct me Swamiji the moment I think I am not the body I keep on saying to myself and I am encouraging the inner chattering? I keep on saying to myself am I encouraging inner chattering?”
No. You are slowly, slowly unclutching from inner chattering. You remembering you are not the body is a very good technique Sudha, continue.
“Swamiji I felt I had the eN effect on me. I am not in two way contact with you. Am I in right understanding or is that my imagination?”
Sudha you are not imagining. You cannot imagine eN effect; eN effect is copyrighted completely in all levels. Nobody can fake or imagine or duplicate. It only can happen authentically. So if you had it you had it. So you don’t need to be afraid, no need to allow your mind to play the game.
Coaski, we have a question from Coaski.
“Dear Swamiji I am afraid if I let go of possession of my body I will die.”
Coski, no, only then you will live. You need to understand the truth of death and life. When you let go of your body you will live. Let go of possession of your body you will live happily. If you are holding on to your body you are dying; may be slowly but you will be dying. Understand when you are holding to your body and think you as body everyday you are dying. When you let go of your body and realize you are atman you are living; you are going to live eternally.
Here is a question from Ambigar engineering services. Vijay Talkikar, it’s from Vijay Talkikar.
“Dear Dhyanatma, Nithyanandam, we are enjoying very much Pujya Swamiji’s evening discourses. In the earlier discourses he spoke on a sutra which had a word jigupsa which Swamiji said was misunderstood by people to mean disgust instead of distance and is the main reason for the untouchability problem. I would like to respectfully ask Swamiji if this word could also be a sandhi of two words; jindyasa meaning curiosity and abipsa meaning desire or vasana, thus indicating in the sutra that souchya meaning internal and external cleanliness reduces or eliminate curiosity and desire about our own body and bodies of others.
Vijay the word jindyasa and abipsa can be the extended meaning of the word jigupsa. I can say our rishis condensed 2-3 words into one word. So Patanjali may thought about this word jindyasa and abipsah and condensed both words into jigupsa. There is a possibility. So the translation which I am giving, distancing, makes the same meaning of curiosity meaning desire of vasana. You see what you wanted to express by the word jidnyasa and abipsah, I have expressed by translating that word jigupsa as distance. So Vijay your translation or your understanding can be accepted and it can be a way of interpreting. Vijay your understanding is right in a way it can be taken.
Question from Robert Redding. “I am not sure what western interest means but when you say it, it makes me have a negative outlook on society. How can I stop having a negative outlook on society so it can benefit me or help me or just stop fearing it in general. Thank you. My name is Robby. I am 19 and I am from Sun City West Arizona.”
Robby please understand you don’t need to be afraid or have negativity when I use the word western interest. Please understand when I use the word western interest, all I want to you have an understanding; not fear or not negative. If you are having negativity, negative feeling or fear dig little more deeper into the meaning of the word I am trying to give. I am trying to express through the word western interest. Spend little more time on these words which I am uttering. Hear some more truths then you will see the negative look on society will disappear, negative meaning for the word will disappear; fear will disappear. Robby my blessings you will catch the right meaning. Sun City West Arizona you will catch the right meaning and you will have more joy and understanding; not fear.
So my blessings to all the devotees who are sitting around the world, who are sitting with me having the eN effect on them self, all other devotees my blessings to all of you. I am with you from today we will start everyday sitting live all over the world and creating the eN effect. By March 2nd we will make it at least 108 countries, 108 places. We will sit together and create the eN effect on every person and on the Universal Consciousness so that we can raise it to the to the super conscious state. My blessings to all of you, let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda.
Thank you.
PYS : 96 Surrender Into Samadhi
DATE: January 11th 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 49:06
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees in Seattle center and Los Angeles and Dallas center who are sitting with us around the world to create eN effect. Today’s subject is ‘Surrender to Samadhi’. Before entering into the sutras I will finish answering all the questions then I will enter into the sutras.
This is the question from Arthi Desai. “Swamiji thank you so much for coming into our lives. We are so blessed to see you right in our home during the morning satsangs. I had a question for you. Sometimes when I do meditation or listen to devotional music I feel like I am breathing through the tip of my head. This evening January 9th 2011, we were at the temple during your morning message. I did not levitate but this feeling in the head continues even after two hours. What is happening? Where do I stand in my spiritual journey and how do I proceed from here?”
First thing please understand breathing through the tip of the head means your samana is getting balanced. Actually visualizing that you are breathing through the 21 points through the 10 finger tip and 10 fingers of the leg and the tip of your head, the sahasrara, it’s the technique to balance your samana. If already you are feeling through the tip of your head you are breathing, your samana is getting balanced. Arthi Desai I can tell that you will be able to levitate within next one week. You are going to experience levitation within next one week. Continue that same breathing, encourage that process, experience you are having. You are progressing in right direction in the spiritual journey.
Here’s one more question from Diana. “Swamiji I feel the eN effect here in Las Vegas” which needs very much. “I feel my body sway softly and I feel my body uplifting; so peaceful. I feel I am swaying in the universe. My question is after the eN effect is over I feel so restless. Is there something I can do to not feel so restless and fidgety? I can’t seem to get it together. I honor you”. Diana, the initial few days the mind will feel restless when you don’t have the eN effect because it is craving. But I tell you do not worry. Have everyday eN effect in your system. When you say that I am swaying with the universe you are right. Allow that eN effect to happen every day. Maybe within ten days the restlessness after the eN effect, which is craving for the eN effect, will disappear. The eN effect will continue in you continuously.
This is the question from Ma Nithya Premteertha, Singapore. “Swamiji, can you explain in detail about eN effect? How does it happen?” I have spoken on this elaborately in one satsang. It’s already uploaded in the YouTube. Please see that. The title is eN effect. Just on that I have spoken. May be I will give you the brief definition. In the presence of an incarnation, Master whose kundalini is completely not only alive and awake, which can awaken others kundalini, just by the mere presence your kundalini is also awakened; kundalini means the extraordinary bio energy. When that is awakened naturally it leads you to the health, mental wellness and creativity, spiritual joy, complete fulfillment; all the auspicious things which fulfills your happening on the planet earth. That is what exactly I define as eN effect. When that happens on individual he evolves, when that happens on a group the whole group consciousness evolves, if it happens on a city the whole city evolves, if it happens on a civilization the whole civilization evolves. We are here to create that eN effect on the whole civilization.
“I got healers initiation from you on 14th November. I didn’t levitate. I am just a beginner in meditation and yoga but a long time worshipper of Devi. Sometimes I can feel some kind of vibration or shaking movements inside my body. But the body itself does not move. I cannot understand this experience. Is this related to kundalini?” Yes Premteertha your kundalini is getting awakened. So don’t worry about anything else. “How can I experience eN effect?” Now allow that kundalini experience to settle in your system more and more. Try to be in the satsang everyday morning. You will experience eN effect and levitation. “Please answer my question it will be useful to many devotees who are not able to levitate but want to experience eN effect.” Nithya Premteertha ……. from Singapore please understand, continue every day morning satsang. Sit with the presence. You will experience levitation and eN effect.
Here is a long question from Sujata Chandrasekaran. “You said the levitation is just a side effect of conscious breakthrough happening in one person. I feel like I already achieved that conscious breakthrough just by your blessings, teachings and scandals. Nowadays nothing touches my inner space to put me into suffering. Actually I am trying to grab some suffering out of something. But nothing gives me suffering even for a minute. Really I am getting bored without suffering or joy. I am able to feel only the pure silence that is what I understand as bliss. Confidently I can say I am radiating enlightenment.” Sujata you are; no doubt you are.
“Swamiji is it possible to live like this without my bio memory getting changed by my right understanding?” No, you have the right understanding. You are radiating. Whatever you described is true. It’s not lie. It’s based on your authentic experience. I am following you up for a long time. How you are following up the scandal around me, I am following up the scandal around you which is body and mind and depression; how my scandal doesn’t touch me your scandals doesn’t touch you. 9:28 “Now is it possible for me to get that side effect by any chance?” Yes it will happen, it will just happen. You will see it happens in few days. “I am not craving for that candy. But if I can have that candy at least once I may enjoy like Bhole baba.” All right let you have that candy; you will have it. “If you say that can’t happen to me then I will not even have the small desire in my mind and I will put a full stop to the thought whether it will happen to me or not.” Don’t worry it will happen. So you don’t need to have the desire or have the frustration it will not happen. Just relax it will happen. “And moreover I am not able to accept that levitation happens only for the people who prepare their body with yoga or pranayama.” No. Levitation may happen for everybody but only people who prepare their body with yoga and pranayama will be able to hold it. Others will lose it. They will not be able to have it forever. “I am seeing people levitating with big belly and big sized body.” They will levitate as a blessing from my presence but the permanent establishment in the levitation happens only if they prepare them self through the pranayama and yoga.
“I just want to know the real reason for why some people are levitating too much while some people like me are sitting like a statue?” Understand both are sidhis. If you are able to sit like a statue for hours it is equalent or I can say much more than levitation. There are siddhis called anima lahima mahima karima. Anima means reducing it like a atom; reducing your body. Mahima means making it like a hill; the levitation is more easy siddhi than sitting like a hill, statue. See during pancha tapas. Nowadays I am sitting only 21 minutes. Earlier two hour, you would have seen not a single movement. That is a more difficult siddhi than levitation. You understand if you are sitting like a statue, you crossed levitation. The ability to sit like statue is also equalent or more than the levitation. So you don’t need to worry something is wrong. So, both are based on prana.
Here is a question from Ajit Kumar Toronto. “Dear Swamiji my kundalini got awakened first week of October onwards and I experienced heavy energy flow which was shuffling my brain continuously. It was so powerful so that I had to sit all day in closed room. I experienced it. I had to quit my job due to this reason and it lasted for three months. Now the heaviness of the flow came down and I can do other activities. My questions are as follows. When you are sending the energy through online, my energy flow is starting to move upwards from bottom and feeling weightless in my body but the levitation is not happening.” You see the moment you feel weightlessness in the body, the psychological levitation has started happening. Now it will get converted into physiological levitation within ten days. “Hence can you please include the samana yoga in the upcoming NSP so that we can also practice levitation?” In the upcoming NSP I am adding samana yoga. I am adding samana yoga; the technique for teaching you the levitation.
“Question 2 my TPS has gone down very much and I am getting the intuitions every time. My problem is I am not getting it at proper time.” Ajit kumar little more training is required that’s all. It’s nothing but learning to drive the car. When you initially try to drive, when you learn driving you will have little bit of uncomfort feeling and disturbance; that’s it nothing else. “Example if I wanted to purchase something from a shop and I have to walk ten minutes to reach there, before I leave from the home I will try to get the message but nothing will come. But when I reach the shop and before purchase the intuition will come and tell do not do it. If I really do not do it, is there any technique I can develop my intuition power so that I can have it whenever I want?” Ajit kumar again sit in the presence in the morning I will see that your intuition is purified, your intuition becomes more solid.
Let me enter into the sutras; 96th Patanjali yoga sutra, in second chapter 45th verse. Samadhi siddhir ishwara pranidanat. Let me translate this sutra. Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as through the sacrificing of all to Ishwara comes Samadhi. Swami Prabhavananda translates as; as a result of devotion to God one achieves Samadhi. By total surrender to God, Samadhi is attained. This is the translation by Swami Sachidananda. Dwivedi translates as from resignation to Ishwara, the accomplishment of Samadhi follows.
Let me give my own translation. Samadhi siddhir ishwara pranidanaat. All the words in this sutra are technical terms. samadhi siddhi ishwara pranidanaat. All four words are technical terms. All four words needs a clear new definition. Samadihi means falling in tune with the origin, adi, the original source. Sama means falling in tune or vibrating in the same frequency. Adi means the origin. Samadhi means vibrating in the same frequency of origin from which you originated; vibrating in the same frequency. Please understand when you start a spiritual practice, slowly you divert from the original mood. I have seen people diverting from the original mood. When they start the inspiration they have, the energy they have and how they divert. In any plane if you get back to the origin state, fall in tune, vibrate in the frequency of the origin; you will achieve the success in any plane.
Here originally you are the leader. It is you who decided to play the game of life by expanding yourself; getting back to that original leadership quality. The original state of leader is what I call Samadhi. Please understand I am translating the Samadhi word with the clarity and understanding of active spiritualism. I am not translating that word Samadhi lying down in some cave somewhere. No. Now I am introducing a new spirituality to the world active spiritualism; spirituality which makes you alive. So that is the reason I am translating this Samadhi word with a proper understanding; getting back to your original leadership quality.
How to know whether you are progressing towards Samadhi or achieved Samadhi? You will become leader. If you have become leader of your breathing space, whatever is happening, means you are life. You are growing towards Samadhi. If you become leader of the whole happening in you and your life you have become Samadhi siddha; you are, you achieved Samadhi. Samadhi means not just having altered state of consciousness; achieving the original leadership quality with which you happened. Samadhi siddhi ripening into Samadhi; siddhi means ripening. That’s the way I want to translate that word siddhi; ripening, imbibing, achieving. All these can be the different, different words. Ripening is the best word I will choose; ripening of Samadhi in you or you in Samadhi. Usually ripening of you in Samadhi only happens; not Samadhi in you. Because Samadhi is bigger than you, you are not bigger than Samadhi. You cannot have Samadhi. Samadhi only can have you. You cannot possess Samadhi. Samadhi only can possess you.
Forget about Samadhi. An ordinary kundalini awakening you can’t possess. That only possesses you, that only shakes your body. You can’t shake kundalini as you want. So how can you possess Samadhi? No. Samadhi only can possess you. Samadhi can only possess you. You can only ripen in Samadhi. Samadhi cannot ripen in you. Siddihi means ripening. Samadhi siddihi ishwara pranidanaat. The word Ishwara please understand why Patanjali is using the word Samadhi and Ishwara together in same sutra. He could have just finished Samadhi siddhi sharanagati or pranidanaat. He is using the word Ishwara pranidanaat.
Ishwara means the ultimate experience expressing in the plane you can relate. Please understand if you feel you are just body, the energized deity which responds to you in your plane is Ishwara. If you feel you are just a mind the sacred scriptures which puts you in tune with Samadhi is Ishwara. If you feel you are little more than mind, incarnation who is in the body who can just put you in Samadhi is Ishwara for you. Understand Patanjali is using a very powerful word ishwara pranidanaat. By surrendering to Ishwara, Samadhi is achieved. If Ishwara and Samadhi is one and the same then why is Patanjali using two word. And he is not fool; very, very intelligent person. Man who knows when to use more words and when to use less words, when not use any words. I have not seen more intelligent person than Patanjali especially when using words concerned; when it is a question of using words nothing like Patanjali.
Buddha went on for 40 years so he lost sensitivity for words. I can say for every Master who goes on speaking they lose sensitivity for words; including me. I go on and on and on and on. Soon I will cross number of hours speaking any Master. I think as on now only Osho is my competition. And maybe in few years we will cross; because I go on and on and on and everything is recorded. By continuously speaking sometime we lose sensitivity for words. But Patanjali is a guy; after all he is a grammarian who knows how to use or not to use words. He is using two words here; Samadhi and Ishwara. Why should he use the word Ishwara. Understand surrendering to Ishwara you will have Samadhi. Then the word Ishwara needs to be completely understood. Only then the ripening of Samadhi will happen in you. Or you can ripen in Samadhi.
Ishwara means which leads you to samadhi. If you are in the very gross plane most of the time you are in the idea or feeling connected only to your body. Then the energized deity is Ishwara for you. Spend all your time worshipping, taking care of that deity, so that the idea that I am the body slowly moves out. Very beautifully Ramana Maharishi answers this doubt. Somebody asked him, what is this how can worshipping a stone statue, metal, can lead to Samadhi. He says it is much better than constantly worshipping your body. See if you apply the sandal paste on the stone at least it will be there for two days without smelling. Apply it on your body what happens? He says as long as you have the illusion and delusion that you are the physical body, better to have the ultimate state of consciousness also identified to a physical statue. So that your identification starts reducing, the shift in the consciousness of the first step starts happening.
That is the reason still in the modern era I go on insist, inspire and establish temples all over the world. Still I insist on deities. People don’t understand. If you are feeling that you are physical body more than 51% of your time, awareness time; see when I say awareness time the time you spend in dream state and waking state. For example in a day you spend 20 hours in the dreaming state and waking state. In the 20 hours more than 10 hours if you feel you are body, please start with deity worship. Don’t cheat yourself thinking that straight away you can become enlightened. Start with the deity worship.
If you are feeling more time 50% of the time, you as a mind; means all your planning, joy, suffering, past, future, everything is mental game; your joy is also mental, your suffering also mental; it is more identity based life not physical based. If your life is more identity based you are running around more for identity protection than the basic need. If you are not running around for the basic need like food, cloth, shelter that does not directly affect your suffering or joy. Just a food cloth shelter is not a major part of your life. You don’t think too much about that the physical suffering or physical joy is not a major thing in your life. It is more a mind. You are established more in mind. Your life is more identity based. Then understand the sacred truths; either listening to the Masters or reading the sacred texts, the sacred truths, expressed by the Master; that is God for you that is Ishwara for you.
Another one thing I don’t want to translate the word Ishwara to God. NO. The God word has been spoilt too much. Too much of meaning has been loaded into it. I don’t want to translate the word Ishwara as God. No. Let me retain the word Ishwara as pure as possible without translating it into God. If your whole identity is based on mind, if your joy suffering existence everything was on mind, then, sacred truths, listening from the Master or reading of the Masters words becomes God to you; becomes Ishwara to you. That is why J. Krishnamurti says listening is God. Because all his disciples are mind based, the identity based. They are not locked in the body. If you are locked in the body you can’t understand J Krishnamurti. I tell you. If you are able to understand J Krishnamurti you are already in the plane of the mind. For them listening is God, listening is Ishwara, shravana is Ishwara.
Please understand if you are established in the physical system, physical body, then vigraha is Ishwara; deity is God. Surrender to deity worship; decorate, play around, live; that is why all the people who are connected to the Isckon, they created 1000s of temples around the world; because people of physical nature. I am revealing some of the important secrets of all religious and spiritual movement and I am revealing some of the important secrets to find out which technique will work for you. People who are feeling connected to Isckon movement, God is Krishna and he is in this deity and he stays in go loka and comes here whenever we worship him as archavatara to accept our worship.
The person who feels connected to this idea can never be connected to the idea of listening is God. But I can tell you how many people are liberated through the Krishna’s statue by the bhakti movements same number of people Krishnmurti is able to liberate just by the word; different kind of people that’s it. J Krishnamurti is also right, the bhakti movements are also right. Each one of them cater to the different mental setup different kind of persons.
Third very important thing if you are feeling you are neither body nor mind means you have reasonless suffering, reasonless joy. You are neither in the business of physical joy nor bothered much about identity protection. You are searching for something more; being level personalities; means if you had even one glimpse of kundalini awakening, levitation experience or one glimpse of spiritual truth; you are a being level person. For you incarnation who is vibrating in the same space of Samadhi is God. Then forget about the statues and deities, forget about the scriptures and listening. Incarnation, Master is God.
Please understand Master is ishwara. Surrendering to the Ishwara leads to Samadhi. Now find out which type you are. If you are the type of more than 51% of your waking time you are spending feeling you are body, then deity is path for you; till you evolve from that state. If more than 51% of your time you are spending on the identity struggle, the mental game, then listening, imbibing the great truths or reading, internalizing is Ishwara for you. Spend all your time maximum in that. Those truths will again and again make you fall in tune with the Samadhi state. If you are the being level person; neither you are spending your time in feeling you are body nor you are spending your time feeling you are identity or mind. You are just feeling something more; then Master who happened in the planet earth in physical form is God for you. Just drop everything, be at his feet; he will lead you to Samadhi.
Now the fourth word pranidanaat, the word surrender need to be translated. Again the surrender word is much misunderstood in the west like a becoming slave. I say no. Pranidanaat is not becoming slave. Rising to that frequency is what I wanted to translate the word pranidanaat. I want to translate that word pranidanaat as falling in tune or feeling connection. Please understand when you start feeling connection, falling in tune, you attract that vibration to your vibration. I have really seen in my own life. When some devotees bring something with lot of love, it will be very small thing; somehow even I cannot resist myself. I will just pick it up and put it in my mouth. Small sweet or some piece of cloth I will just take it and put it on my body. It will be there on my body for continuously many days.
For example this scarf was sent to me by Seattle devotees. All the Seattle devotees signed a card and sent the scarf which I’m wearing. The moment I saw that letter something has happened; in that card all of them have signed. And I took this scarf and it is there on my body for last few days continuously. Seattle devotees are you all hearing? I accept the scarf which you sent and the beautiful letter with all the overflowing love. See, actually I tell you when you surrender to Ishwara, Ishwara cannot resist you. He is not in the control. He is not a decision making authority. When you fall in tune, when you surrender, you become decision making authority. It is not slave; surrender is not slavery. It is taking over the power. I tell you really I am ruled by the people who surrender to me. Because the surrender is such, simply you fall in tune.
Maybe I can translate the word pranidanaat as active surrender not passive surrender. Passive surrender is always throwing away the responsibility and blaming. Actually people throw away the responsibility so they can blame later on. One guy came to me and asked “Swamiji I am going to get married bless me.” I know that person was in love with somebody. He was having an affair. I asked “Ohhh the decision is made and both of you guys have decided to get married. He said suddenly “No Swamiji not to that person another one person.” I said “Why? Both of you guys were in love I know. Why you changed the person.” He said “No, no. I decided to marry the person arranged by my parents.” I said “Why? When you are in love with somebody why do you want to go for arranged marriage?” He said “No, no. If I go for the arranged marriage at least after the failure I will have somebody to blame. I can go on blaming my parents. If I myself choose, then after the failure I will not have anybody to blame.” I asked “What do you mean?” “Anyhow marriage is failure Swamiji. Anyway it is going to be failure this way or that way. So at least with arranged marriage I will have somebody to blame. I can go on be blaming them.”
Understand many time you do surrender so that you will have somebody to blame. You are not bothered about the after effect. All you bothered is that you will have somebody to blame. You will not be responsible. No. Understand that is not exactly what I call by the word surrender. I wanted to translate the word pranidanaat as active surrender; where you are, your surrender is responsible, intelligent, useful surrender. I always tell people I don’t want this useless surrender. For anything you surrender you should have ripened into that and that should have ripened into you within next few years. If somebody has surrendered into me and still they are useless, then I become useless. No. You surrendered to the uselessness but having my painting on it. If you have surrendered to me then direct all the energy as I am directing and make it alive. Let me ripen in you let you ripen in me. Then it is alive, responsible surrender. But these guys surrender by word and do all their own foolish idiotic thing as they want and claim me responsible. Surrender is the most cunning word the disciples use to manipulate and exploit the master.
So the pranidanaaat, the word, I wanted to translate as active surrender, responsible surrender, feeling connection, falling in tune. So fall in tune with your Ishwara. You will reach Samadhi. That is the meaning of this whole sutra. Have the active surrender responsible surrender. Fall in tune with your Ishwara. As I described find out which state you are in and surrender to your Ishwara. That will lead you to being the leader which is original state of your consciousness and existence. This is the exact meaning of Samadhi siddihi ishwara pranidanaat.
I bless you all to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you. 49:04
PYS : 97 Ashtanga Yoga: Asana-New Revelations

DURATION: 27:54
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome and bless all the devotees around the world who are sitting with us now, live. I bless all of you. Again I remind all of you sit in padmasana and samana mudra in unclutched way. Now you will have eN effect on all of you. The kundalini awakening will start happening in all of you. Just sit with a restful awareness padmasana and samana mudra and listen with restful awareness.
Today’s subject for the satsang is ‘Asana - Tuning yourself with the Cosmos’. Today we are entering into the next step. In the ashtanga yoga, in the eight steps we completed yama and niyama. We are entering into the third step, asana; roughly translated as posture. But I do not want to use the word posture to translate asana. Asana means, I want to translate this word as tuning yourself with the cosmos; 97th sutra in Patanjali yoga sutras, in second chapter 46th verse. Sthira sukham asanam.
Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as posture is that which is firm and pleasant. Swami Prabhavananda translates this as posture is to be seated in a position which is firm but relaxed. Swami Sachidananda translates as posture; asana is a steady comfortable posture. Dwivedi translates as posture is that which is steady and easy. Sthira sukham asanam. I will translate this word asanam as tuning yourself to the cosmos. The word sthira and sukha I'll translate as, the way in which you tune yourself to cosmos should be stable, steady and comfortable for you.
Please understand stable, steady and comfortable. There are thousands of ways to tune yourself to cosmos. For every act you have a particular asana; posture. For example just lie down in a relaxed way and try to be angry, shout at somebody; you can’t. Just try to be completely relaxed or just lie down, let your head rest; lying down in the bed try to shout at somebody. Posture, your consciousness, action; all three are closely connected. Posture, your consciousness, your action all three are closely connected. By lying down you can’t shout at somebody, scream at somebody. By standing up you can’t sleep. So each posture creates a particular state of consciousness in you and helps you for a particular action.
The posture for the ultimate state of consciousness is what we call mahasana or maha mudra. For that posture, for that happening, you need to evolve your body step by step. That evolving should be steady and comfortable. Please understand each posture creates a particular state of consciousness in you. You can see a simple example. You can experientially see. Sit in padmasana or sit holding the leg. Both you will see the mind. Same way, sit with the chin mudra; this way and this way. If you sit with this way you will have a different feeling. If you sit, just turn the hands, you will have a different feeling. Just keep the hands like this and inhale and exhale, keep the hands like this and inhale and exhale. You will see the difference. Change in body posture brings change in the state of your consciousness. So there is a particular body posture for you to have the ultimate state of consciousness. You need to find out and move towards that body posture.
One of the biggest crime happened; I don’t even want to use the word mistake or blunder; crime happened in Bharatn vedantic tradition is disrespect to asana. The Bharatn vedantic tradition or the Bharatn religious traditions, many of them have started somehow I do not know how, why, disrespecting body and necessary to keep the body fit, alive, in right posture. That is the reason you do all kinds of dance only when you are asked to sit. Here pain, here pain, here pain, uncomfortable feeling; because somehow you learned the lesson; the Bharatn conscience itself this idea not to respect body, revere body has penetrated, as if body is the villain; the villainity is painted on body; it is not. Just like how I am the victim in this whole scandal but villainity is painted on me. The villainity being painted on me, same way your body is the victim of you. We go on abusing the body.
See continuously for your enjoyment and excitement you take the body to its extreme, like you take the body to the extreme. Whether it is eating or seeing, I have seen these youngsters, till late night 2 O clock sitting and watching cricket or base ball. Your eyes will be begging please let me rest. No. You will force yourself; means what…..abusing your body. Your body is victim of you. Your body is not villain. Your body is victim. Whether it is seeing or listening high, loud, music.... because it gives a kind of a kick, excitement or the taste; extreme hot chilly food because it gives a kind of a kick, boiling; especially that Andhra gongura chutney. Eyes will be pouring but these fellows…… nothing will be added just chilly, means your tongue is a victim of your pleasure. You can’t handle your craving for excitement, you abuse your tongue.
Same way physical touch; in every level your body is not villain, it is victim. But in Bharatn conscience, religious traditions and Vedanta somehow we started neglecting, rejecting, disrespecting body. That is why even the great vedantis who study these ideas for years, never experience; because for experience your body need to evolve to a certain posture asana where you experience the highest state of consciousness in your body. The very body you have, need to be aligned. If I need to give an example, your body is like a mirror and this light is the cosmic light cosmos. Now that light is reflecting on the mirror by accident in some direction, in some angle. But you need to tune align the mirror to such a clear posture where the cosmic light reflects itself straight, complete, 100%. Aligning of the mirror to the right posture where it completely reflects itself without any distortion, deflection; that aligning, tuning is what I call asana. 15:46 You have only two option; either you align your body or malign your body. Aligning means exactly reflecting the super consciousness in its pure form; experiencing the highest transcendental consciousness, then you are aligned, aligning or maligning. Other than aligning everything else is maligning. That aligning is what I call asana. For this you need to do two thing; one trial and error, second developing the capacity. In trial and error you find out; is this asana works for me? Is this posture works for me? Is this system works for me? Second, once you find out this routine works for you then increasing the ability through practice, steady and comfortable sthiram sukham.
What is steady? Let me describe the, translate the word sthiram. Steady is a simple translation. Sthiram means any posture imbibed by you should become bio memory. You are able to do that posture now but after five days or five months suddenly because you did not have the practice you are not able to do. No. Then it has not become sthiram in you. Sthiram means which has become bio memory in you, which cannot be shaken, which cannot be disturbed, which cannot be abused, which cannot be lost. sthiram and sukham What is sukham? Understand first part which you need to find out, that trial and error, in that you will find out which posture is sthiram for you. Means all of you came down with a certain bio memory. For you there will be some postures. The moment you do even once, it will become sthiram for you. The moment you lock yourself in that posture you will feel oh God so comfortable. This is my very nature.
By trial and error, find out the posture of sthiram, then sukham. I am translating sukham in a new way, in my own way; having the sweet pain of that asana whole day by increasing the practice in you is what I call sukham. Understand once you find out that posture, increase the time of practice more and more. Once you find out that set, that anushtana which you need to do, the posture need not be always one; it can be sequence. It may be sequence of twenty posture or twelve posture like surya namaskar; twelve postures is a surya namaskar. So you will be able to find out through trial and error or by the gurus prescription, set of postures which you need to do; which is sthiram for you.
Then comes sukham. Sukham means increasing the capacity to do and be in those postures continuously practicing and experiencing the sweet pain whole day is sukham. Sukham does not mean luxury or pleasure. It means experiencing the sweet pain. I tell you when the right posture is discovered; when you do that you will feel the nectar is oozing out of every joint. It will not be pain; it will be sweet pain. Nectar oozes out from every joint. In Sri Vidya tradition we call it amrita. Nectar is available in every joint. The proper mudra and asana makes that nectar ooze out. Having the sweet pain; I don’t even want to use the word pain; having that sweet experience in every joint through the practice of the postures, vinyasa, vinyasa krama, the set of postures, practicing those set of postures more and more and increasing the capacity of your body and experiencing the sweet nectar feeling in your body is sukham.
So for asana, for the right posture, you need to do two thing. One, respecting your body; understanding only by aligning your body properly you will be able to experience the highest transcendental consciousness; raising your body to the highest possible spiritual conscious coherence. Second, very important thing; through trial and error method or the Guru’s prescription, finding out the right set of postures for you, vinyasa krama. I can add one more thing, third, increasing the ability to practice those asanas by doing it again and again and again, experiencing sweet nectar like pain in your body whole day.
So sthiram sukham asanam. Understand the concept and the truth which Patanjali is trying to express through this sutra. So spend little time to find out through trial and error; the right sequence of postures for you, by trial and error method or by the prescription of the guru. Second not only practicing that postures increase the ability by practicing more and more, again and again, so that, that sweet pain remains in your system and the taste of the nectar from every joint happens in you continuously.
So please understand the sweet pain which comes in your system by practicing is what Patanjali calls sukha. So align your body immediately you will see the levitations will start happening. It is nothing but just aligning your body properly. Levitation is not some magic. It is just aligning your body. When your body can float in the water once you align it with water, why can’t it float in the air if you align it? It is possible. When you align your body it levitates. When you malign your body, it gravitates; that’s all. Aligning brings levitation, maligning brings gravitation. Sthirm sukham asanam.
I bless you all to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss Nithyananda. Thank you. 27:46
Q\&A on eN effect, Kundalini and Samadhi

DURATION: 24:06
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
It’s a question from Mario Vensnek from the Netherlands. “Dear Swamiji please can you explain about bio memory. What exactly it is? What is happening with our bio memory after dharmamegha samadhi.” Please understand bio memory means the part of your experience which becomes a solid particle in your muscles. Please understand when you eat food certain part of the food becomes blood, certain part becomes bone, certain part becomes bone marrow, certain part becomes your thoughts. The subtle, subtle, subtle, subtle; certain part of the food becomes blood, certain part becomes flesh, certain parts become bone, certain part bone marrow, certain part your thoughts. Same way when you think or experience something, certain part of that experience becomes part of your blood, certain part becomes your bone marrow, certain part becomes your bone, certain part becomes a solid physical particle of your body. The memory or the experience which happens in you very strongly becomes part of your very biology is bio memory. Memory which becomes part of your biology is bio memory.
Sometimes you can see when the depression or the fear becomes too much you will see the whole upper body what you think as you becomes heavy and immobile, uncomfortable; don’t know what to do. Especially when you are getting into some criminal activity or illegal activity, you will see the whole body resist. If you are getting into some activity which should not be done, you will see that fear. Bio memory means memory which became part of the biology.
“What is happening with our bio memory after dharmamegha Samadhi?” Let me explain the word dharma megha Samadhi. I am so happy a person who is born and brought up in Netherlands Mario Vensnak is able to beautifully put a question on a technical term from the Vedic tradition dharmamegha samadhi. Exactly if I have to describe that word dharmamegha Samadhi, the samadhi which happens to you by the intelligence awakened with the right understanding. For example now I give you the right understanding that you are not the body, you are not the mind, you are beyond body and mind and body and mind also. Understand you are not just the body, you are not just the mind, you are something beyond the body and mind and body and mind also. You are all pervasive.
If I explain this to you very logically your intellect clicks with it and intelligence gets awakened and you feel a kind of a energy awakening and restful awareness. That is what is dharmamegha samadhi. Through dharma, the right understanding, if the megha the intelligence of you is awakened, it is dharma megha; the after effect of the right understanding. The Samadhi which happens as the after effect of right understanding and awakening of intelligence is dharmamegha samadhi. I can say the right translation of this word can be inner awakening. When the right understanding is awakened in you, that understanding which leads to restful awareness is dharmamegha samadhi.
“What is happening with our bio memory after dharmamegha Samadhi?” I can say your bio memory completely becomes pure. After every dharmamegha Samadhi your bio memory becomes completely pure. If the dharmamegha samadhi becomes a very strong savigalpa samadhi or samprangnata samadhi the bio memory becomes pure to the level it can never again become impure; that’s it. Dharmamegha Samadhi is like a washing your floor completely; but there is a possibility tomorrow it can get dirty. But savigalpa samadhi is once for all washing the floor and sealing it with a lacquer coating. It can never become dirty. It’s like a copper vessel being washed everyday is dharmamegha samadhi. It becomes pure, but gold coating it thickly so that it will never become impure is savigalpa Samadhi. But processing it in such a way through an alchemy and making the whole part completely gold through the alchemy process is nirvikalpa samadhi. So dharmamegha Samadhi purifies your bio memory.
This is a question from Ma Nithya Sugandhi New West Minister, Canada. “My undying devotion and humble pranams to Swamiji; after your darshan at Bidadi over four years ago my whole body started shaking on and off and it is still ongoing. I take this as a gradual kundalini awakening” You are right “especially customized for my physical and mental and nervous system. Am I right?” Sugandhi, you are right. “How long will this continue for?” I can say till you start experiencing stable levitation. You see when I say the word stable levitation I mean in padmasana and samana mudra your body should be able to raise one unit, be in the air for four unit and rest, relax for one unit of time. This is what is a stable levitation. Means if you raise for one second, four second in the air and one second landing. This is a stable levitation. Till you reach that stable levitation the defined levitation this shaking will be there.
“Ever since you came into my life I have been blessed with a deep inner peace and contentment, detachment, love for each and every living being, fulfillment, clarity etc. Swamiji your virtual presence through my computer every evening in Canada at morning satsang is very much alive. You have often passed especially for me in my reality. While talking to look deeply into my eyes and without saying anything I have resolved many of my problems. A few days ago I had a very powerful experience. Your talk brought on once again a very deep yearning and I started crying profusely. You stopped talking looked at me with deep compassion, leaned forward and projected out of the computer screen by about half an inch, not in physical form but in kind of thin energy levels one behind the other and said very earnestly to me, ‘it will happen you will experience it. You will be led to a very high energy field and it will happen’. Swamiji what did I ever to attract an incarnation of high caliber like you? Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
If you did something and attract, it cannot be called as compassion. But just because of your yearning if it is happening in your life, you did right thing and Master is compassionate. See if you did not do anything and if it has happened you will not know value; then the relationship will not have its respect. People may take it for granted and leave it. Same way if you have done something great and if I happened, it is my bargain not my compassion. You should have yearning and did not do anything and I should have compassion and shower myself on you. That’s the right way of the connection. Understand you have the right connection. So it will be maintained, it will reach its completion which is communion and cosmic experience.
Please understand I am making this point clear, if you have done something great sadhana and attracted me then it is not compassion. Then it will not be maintained. At one point you will feel you sacrificed too much and the relationship will break. It will not see the end. And if you have not done anything and I happened you may take it for granted. Again it will not reach its logical conclusion; enlightenment. You should have yearning but shouldn’t have done anything and I should happen out of my compassion; that is the right combination. Sugandhi you have a right combination. We will see the end of the guru disciple relationship; the enlightenment.
Here the question from rpatak, rpatak that’s the email id it says. Dear Swamiji…..Oh, the name signed below the question is Rekha. “Dear Swamiji, is it possible one evolves from deity worship, to shravana listening and then to Being. I am a retired physician with lot of physical ailments as a result of irregular hours of, fear of irregular hours and fear of errors in practice. I came for IA in December 2009. I feel joyful with daily satsang and I am trying to find out what I should be doing towards fulfillment. Please give some transformation; please give some guidance, transformation is happening.”
First thing I will answer the first part. Is it possible one evolves from deity worship to shravana listening and then to Being. Yes one always evolves when one is sincere with the deity worship to listening, to the imbibing the sacred truths and to the Being to the living deity. Deity is achala murti immovable Guru, Guru is moving God sachala murti, moving deity. So understand you evolve from deity to imbibing the sacred truths and imbibing the Master; embodiment of deity and sacred truths. The evolving happens in everybody who is sincere.
And next you are saying the irregular hours and fear of errors in practice created physical ailments. The only way to get out of this is the spiritual practice. I can give you two practice for you. As you say you are retired now decide not to regulate your life. Give freedom to your body completely. Eat when it feels like eating, sleep when it feels like sleeping. Do not force food when you are not feeling hungry. Don’t have the fear you should eat this many times. Otherwise you will fall sick. No. There is a beautiful verse written by a Tamil siddha. He is a great siddha even though in the modern day he is projected as a secular poet. He is not a secular poet he is a great siddha; Thiruvalluvar. He says very beautifully marundanavendavam yakaika arindayada atridi votrivodi means you don’t need medicine for your body if you take food after knowing that what you ate has left your system. So if you eat once wait for that food to get digested and leave your system and again for the system to feel hungry, the need for food. Then give the next meal. So Rekha I give you this as a practice. Eat when you are really hungry, sleep the moment you feel like sleeping. Done bother it is a day or night or anything. So let your body come to its own tune; alignment. This is a one practice. Second try to attend a satsang everyday. When you sit in the virtual presence your body gets healed, your mind gets healed, your being is awakened. So I can give this two as a practice. Eat only after the body feels thoroughly hungry. Sleep the moment you feel like sleeping. Attend the satsang everyday so that every day the energy flow in your system is alive and kundalini is awakened and the right ideas get into your system. Naturally you will be transformed. So Rekha this two can be the practice for you; guidance for you.
Here again question from Sudarshini Madan, Sudha. “Dear Swamiji I have a question on non violence. When people around me criticizes me on thinking about you, I feel only sympathy on them. But when they want to stop me completely watching your discourses or going to your satsangs I cannot accept and handle them; finally ending with heated arguments. And next day my next day becomes fresh after I have your darshan. Please bless me so that I can be in constant touch with you. Nowadays more than my interest to taste levitation I enjoy just looking at you.” 19:12 Sudha first thing when you put your foot down and decide to come to the satsangs and watch discourses and having heated argument with others it is not non violence. You are reclaiming your freedom. Not reclaiming your freedom is violence; understand. It is called atma hatya dosha. You are killing yourself. You want to experience yourself and you take up some spiritual activities. If somebody is interfering and you are allowing that then it is violence, atma hatya, killing yourself. When you put your foot down and say I am doing something for my spiritual growth, please be very clear it is nonviolence.
Ramakrishna says; see Ramakrishna is such a non controversial guru. He will always be socially polite, politically polite. He will never be controversial. Anything you ask him; no, no go with the flow of the society; that is the way he will tell. But he was asked a question by a disciple; ‘if it comes to choosing between the spiritual growth and the parents or the family or husband or wife, what is the first priority?’ Ramakrishna says no, spiritual growth is first priority. Such a non controversial guru, when it comes to this he says you have freedom now. Even I will be afraid to give this answer even now. I will say no, no just be little ok, ok. Just adjust be polite. Usually I tell people no, no, take care of family, be polite; when I don’t trust their intensity. When I trust their intensity I say I think spirituality is the first priority.
Now I tell you, be very clear; let it be on record, when you have the intense seeking that is the first priority. Everything else is not even second priority. So by not fulfilling your spiritual things is violence. When you are putting your foot down and reclaiming your freedom to going for satsangs and discourses, for that what you do can never be violent. And don’t even feel it is a heated argument; you trying to explain your part to them. You are not dragging them. If you drag them then it can be called as violence. You are not dragging them. You are saying I need to take care of my spiritual growth. Then it can never be violence. So be very clear Sudha, you are perfectly non violent. You are established in ahimsa and my blessings, you will be in constantly in touch with me and I will be with you.
Nowadays more than my interest to taste levitation I enjoy just looking at you. Enjoy that you will experience levitation also. I have two kinds of people coming for satsang; one to listen to the satsang another one to see satsang. I tell you, both will experience the result of satsang. So….. surely this dove cannot listen. Then why is he here every day? To see the satsang. Whether you are here to listen or see or be, you will experience the highest experience. That is what is the power of satsang.
I bless you all to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you. 23:56
PYS 98 Asanas - Aligning to Kundalini Awakening

Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees who are sitting with us live around the world. I welcome all of you with my love and blessings. Today’s subject is again, ‘Asanas: Aligning to Awakening’; 98th Patanjali’s yoga sutra and 47th verse in second chapter; in second chapter 47th verse; in Patanjali yoga sutra 98th sutra. Prayatna saitilyanaanta samapatibhyam prayatna saitilya anantha samapatibhyam samaapatibhyam.
Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as, through the lessening of the natural tendency for activity caused by identification with the body and through meditation on the infinite, posture becomes firm and pleasant. Swami Prabhavananda translates this sutra as posture becomes firm and relaxed through control of the natural tendencies of the body and through meditation on the infinite. Swami Sachidananda translates as by lessening the natural tendency for restlessness and meditating on the infinite, posture is mastered.
Prayatna saitliya ananta samapatibhyam. Each word is a technical term. The orthodox translation say, through the lessening of the natural tendency for activity caused by identification with the body and through meditation on the infinite, posture becomes pleasant and firm. Let me try to give my insight, my experience how the asana posture becomes steady and comfortable. How your body can be aligned towards super consciousness and how the posture becomes steady and comfort. Prayatna saitilya ananta samaapatibhyam. Through the effort…..I am trying to give you idea; the exact insight. I am not just translating. Through the prayatna and samapatibhya…….it’s a very deep subtle truth. I can say this sutra can be a technique to live enlightenment every moment.
See two things you need to do to achieve the aligning to awakening. One, work intensely; second, continuously when you work meditate on unending infinite cosmos; means unclutching; all your postures are to align yourself with the cosmos. If you unclutch and work intensely you will just align yourself with the cosmos; that’s it. If you unclutch and work intensely you will automatically align yourself with the cosmos. Please understand so prayatna, I am translating prayatna in a new way; not just effort to sit in that particular posture. I am translating prayatna as a intense hard work. Work at least 12 hours a day. Let there be physical and mental activityat least 12 hours a day. You may think oh God! That looks too much. But I tell you for some reason, either to be productive to the society and make your life rich or just some social service; in some way work at least 12 hours. The funny part is you will never be able to work for 12 hours if you are working for profit; means to make your life more luxurious more comfortable. Because your bio memory is such it will give way. It will say….after maximum 6 hours of work it will say no enough. If I have to work more than this to make myself comfortable I don’t want that comfort. It will just do a strike. Then how to work for 12 hours? The remaining 6 hours decide to do some nonprofit activity. I tell you nonprofit activity is the ultimate creativity.
Seva is the ultimate creativity. You will never become tired if you learn the trick of seva. The trick of seva means the knack of seva; means knack of serving without remembering the result; just working as a life style. How you don’t breathe for purpose, you know it is your life. For life you breathe. Same way, prayatna, effort just as life, working physically or mentally or physically and mentally; 12 hours a day; take this as a spiritual instruction, try. You may think no, no I will become tired and all that. No nothing just try. Try for next two months. You will see the asana happens in you. Working for 12 hours a day in unclutched way; whenever you remember, let the inner space be unclutched, the outer body be intensely working; you will see aligning to awakening happens.
Please understand, empty mind is devils workshop; I tell you empty body is devils residence. Devil goes for work only for few hours. He resides in his house for long time. The lazy body is devils residence. Empty mind is devils workshop, lazy body is devils residence. I am giving you completely a different insight. Some of the orthodox translations say that reduce the activity which comes out of the idea that you are the body. I am saying the same thing in a very practical way. When you unclutch and start living, please understand after unclutching start living, don’t start waiting for death. I am seeing so many of these vedantis, the moment they learn little bit of some vedantic ideas, they stop living. They are just dragging their life waiting for death. No! Unclutch and start living. Be active, alive, intense!! As long as you don’t physically become active in unclutched way, the suppressed pain engrams in you will continue to haunt you.
One of the major problems all the main vedanta sanyasis suffer is the laziness leads to indulgence and creation of new engraved memories. One of the major problem all the female yoga vedantis, sanyasinis, suffer is the physical laziness leads to the indulgence of the past suffering engrams. Please understand all of you followers of me, students of me, disciples of me, devotees of me, even if you are married, your mental setup is evolved to such a way you are yoga vedanta sanyasis. So if you are male the major problem you suffer is due to the laziness caused by the non appliance of proper unclutching, creates indulgence and new engrams. If you are female because of the non appliance of proper unclutching, the laziness causes makes you indulge continuously in the past suffering and engrams. So understand the ultimate aligning to awakening happens by intense, please understand intense working.
Take up for profit or nonprofit work; something. I tell you this nonprofit work the seva service is the highest form of creativity. There you get all opportunity possibility everything to express your creativity. I can give you one more insight and understanding. When the aligning to awakening happens, even your words will be a great service to the world. You can serve the world not only physically even by uttering right words, giving right truths, right understanding to people. Even that can be a very powerful amazing service to the world. So please understand aligning to awakening.
Some more deeper insights into asana from my own mentor Raghupathy yogi; when he was training me into asana he will make me do such intense heavy activity like shifting stones and rocks from one place to another, one corner to another and from the corner back to the same place. It is not directly productive but he will insist no do that and after certain exhaustion when I feel exhausted then he will ask me to do the same work in a unclutched way; means meditating on the all pervasiveness, meditating on the infinite. I used to very clearly experience, first if I work that shifting a stone from right corner to left corner for six hours and I am tired, after he initiates me into the technique of meditating on infinite, next six hours I will be able to work, shifting the stones from here to this corner, back.
I tell you meditate on the infinite continuously, which means unclutching, meditate on the infinite continuously; go on and on and on, take this as a process. Work for 12 hours a day; something, physically or mentally. If you don’t have any work, contact our centers we have lot of work. Take this as a spiritual practice. I tell you all the engrams which are not letting your body to align to awakening will leave your system and you will be aligned to the awakening. I tell you every action either releases or creates certain engram in you. If your action is done not inspired by the engram but meditation on the infinite, you see if you are engaged by the engrams it is encagemment. If you are inspired by the infinite it will lead to samadhi pathya what Patanjali calls as samaapatibhyam; the state of ultimate consciousness, aligning to awakening.
So I am making this whole sutra as a practical process; process which you can do every day. Do your regular job which you need to do to keep yourself alive for survival necessities, food, clothes, money; keep your regular job. Apart from that continue to do more activity, work, by meditating on the infinite; by meditating on infinite. Please understand by meditating on infinite, when more and more activities are performed, when more and more actions are done you have no other way. Simply your engrams will leave your system. I will tell you one small example. Every action releases some engrams from your system.
Even during the levitation which is happening in your body, when the kundalini is awakened, all the stored suppressed engrams leaves your body. You can see lot of violence will leave your system, lot of fantasies and greed will leave your system. Just the intense physical vibration, your deep craving for the physical pleasure and fantasies will leave your system. Intense movement of the body; your stored deep fears will leave your system. Fears, the desire for pleasure, fantasy; all this leaves your system just like that by levitation. You may think how the levitation is leading to transformation. This is the way understand. This is the science of levitation. When you are encaged by the engrams you are gravitating means you are just pulled down. All I am doing when I awaken your kundalini is just make your short sighted intellect into a vast sighted intelligence. Make your life energy alive. Naturally your ego dissolves into life energy. For those few moments your intense bio energy gets awakened. Naturally when the bio energy gets awakened, you are no more tied down by the engrams, engraved memories. Soon, very soon I will measure the physical weight of engrams and prove the science of levitation. It is possible actually.
I have a good news for all of you. The recent Inner Awakening, the December 2010 Inner Awakening, we have done so many medical researches and scientific researches. I challenge the scientific community to come and do some research on this Inner Awakening process; how the whole process does the physical healing, mental healing and awakening of the deeper strands of DNA; the scientific researchers are proving amazing results. The doctors and researchers who worked on this data we collected, they say, at least for ten major diseases Swamiji the Inner Awakening can be prescribed as direct medicine. You see even allopathy medicines if 30% of curing; they have some technical term I forgot; the 30% is the ratio allopathy medicine has prescribed as medicine for the particular disease. The researchers are saying for 10 major diseases Inner Awakening works more than any allopathy medicines; more than 30% and still I am yet to get the detailed report. When I get the detailed report I will share with you all and with the whole world.
Now I am saying the next step. I will measure the weight of the engrams. It can be; it is possible. Ramakrishna used to do. He will hold the hand of a person and tell the person to be relaxed and he will hold the hand and try to lift and see whether he is qualified for sanyas or sansar or he is innocent or cunning, heavily loaded with engrams or simple; he used to measure. It is possible. I will prove this science; engrams can be measured. That is the… it’s actually a science. All I am doing during the awakening of your kundalini is just throwing away all the engrams out of your system. So naturally your body starts feeling light and starts levitating. That’s the way the levitation happens. That’s the reason the kundalini awakening makes the levitation in your system. I tell you every time you levitate, you are raising to the higher consciousness, your body is healing, your engrams are leaving your system, your brain is going to the highest possible conscience coherence and your mind is entering into the creative zone, your being is experiencing the spiritual bliss conscious bliss.
Aligning to awakening happens in you when you work intensely for 12 hours continuously contemplating on the infinite. If any of you are feeling that you are not levitating, take this as a process and technique. For next two months 12 hours a day, work physical and mental work intensely. You will see, please understand, work 12 hours a day meditating on infinite; means unclutching trying to unclutch continuously. Within two months you will see the intense kundalini awakening in you and you will be experiencing levitation every day. The levitation is intense conscious experience which releases, removes all the engrams from your system.
Asana; the right posture means aligning to awakening. Understand these ancient scriptures in the right way. Otherwise misunderstanding in these words can lead to such a danger. You will become heavy; engrams which makes you heavy are dangerous. See as a siddhi if you become heavy that is different, that is totally different. In the being you will not be heavy but you can just make your body heavy; that immovable. But because of your engram when you become heavy you will be deeply depressed. You will see levitation brings so much joy. Why, because the engrams just leave your system. See the people who are levitating or the amount of joy they radiate the whole day and the conscious coherence in which they live, creativity they express.
That is why I tell you, our whole sangha is entering into a new conscious zone, super conscious spirit because of this levitation. Because when you all experience levitation your very consciousness enters into higher creative zone. So now I don’t have just…… see, earlier our mission was run by some few hundred boys and girls from Bharatn villages; now few hundred creative levitators which is equalent to 1000s of ordinary workers. When a man experiences kundalini awakening he becomes a leader. He just picks up leadership qualities by himself and he just aligns with the whole idea, concept, truth. Less depression, less psychological suffering, less tiredness, less fatigue; so naturally all the great leadership qualities starts expressing. Creativity, hard work, smart work, intelligence, everything starts expressing; above all unselfishness.
I will push the sangha to the next level means not just few hundred levitating yogis whose kundalini is awakened. I will push the sangha now to the next level; few 1000 enlightened beings. This year I will make it happen. You will see many of my swamis and brahmacharis, in their presence people will experience levitation. They will become such a solid divya shariris, they will go and initiate people into samana process and people will experience levitation. The tremendous positive energy exploding through my system I could see; actually cosmos is taking revenge on the negativity. I am not doing anything. I am just sitting and enjoying. Cosmos is taking revenge on this collective negativity. A very playful way cosmos is doing it.
That is why just few days before in the eN satsang I said, I predicted earthquake in Los Angeles. When we digged out we saw the moment I predicted within three hours there was a earthquake and for some reason I blessed from paduka vibhooti will come. I think I just moved my hand in different direction in Toronto paduka vibhooti started coming. In three cities, January 2nd in Bharat, Jan 1st in US in three cities New York and Mexico and Toronto; in three places from paduka vibhooti has started coming. I am telling you honestly I am not doing anything. I am just enjoying my restful awareness. The cosmos is doing; left and right expressing its energy intensely.
I bless you all to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you. 35:56
eN Effect Deeper Insights by Nithyananda

DURATION: 35:44
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees from around the world who are sitting with us to create the eN effect and experience eN effect experience and share the eN effect. Before entering into the satsang I wanted to ask any devotees around the world who are sitting with us who are experiencing kundalini, inside your samana mudra hand if you have vibhooti just see and share the vibhooti with the people who are sick who have come for healing in your center. Any of you guys vibhooti has materialized, can you raise your hand or continue to sit now before the end of this satsang the people who are experiencing levitation, kundalini awakening, you will see vibhooti in your hands, inside your hands.
I could see very clearly the intense connection, the presence of the Master is happening with all the people who are experiencing levitation. So yesterday I felt the same intense connection and said in many temples the paduka from paduka, vibhooti has started coming and I received the photographs from Los Angeles, from Mexico, from paduka vibhooti started coming. Now I feel very clearly the devotees who are experiencing kundalini awakening, they are intensely connected to me and the divine presence. You will see inside your hand samana mudra, the vibhooti will start getting materialized. I tell you within Shivarathri, scientifically we will prove the teleporting of not only vibhooti even the navaratnas. It will start happening. I could see, I could see very clearly by Shivarathri people who are sitting and experiencing levitation, the kundalini experience, inside your hand the materialization, teleporting of the navaratnas and vibhooti and all the objects will start happening. We are entering into a different zone. The people who are sitting in the physical presence also sit in samana mudra you may have vibhooti now in your samana mudra.
First I will answer a question from eN satsang center Jayanagar, Bangalore, from Mahesh. “Dear Swamiji towards the end of your morning message today Thursday, 13th January, 2011, you made the eN effect happen in the five centers in the North America which were connected live on video conference. You raised their kundalini put them into samadhi and also made vibhooti come out of the padukas in those centers. My question is cant the same effect happen to all of us who are watching the eN satsang live everyday sitting individually in our homes from 7.30 AM onwards. Is it necessary that we should gather together as a group in one place and watch the morning satang as a live video conference for the eN effect to happen in our bodies, for the kudalini awakening, for the levitation, for the samadhi to happen and for the vibhooti to appear. Can’t all this happen sitting individually in our homes and watching the morning satsang live from our homes on eN TV, though not via video conference? I eagerly look forward to your response.”
I will take this opportunity to explain thoroughly the eN effect and kundalini awakening for all of you. Please understand I wanted all of you to understand what we are doing. First thing I wanted all of you to understand it is not hypnotism. I am not hypnotizing you. I am actually dehypnotizing you. You have been hypnotized as a ordinary human being, island, just a physical body. I am dehypnotizing you and making you realize your original state. You are cosmic consciousness. Second thing I am not showing any magic or miracles. No. Exactly as per the Patanjali’s yoga sampradaya, the yogic tradition, the pure Samadhi experience the kula kundalini experience is being transmitted.
Please understand yesterday I made it very clear even during the eN effect instruction. Let the Samadhi experience as explained by Patanjali, let the kundalini awakening as explained by the great Master Patanajali happen in you all. Now again I am insisting let the great yoga Vedanta sampradaya, the yoga vedantic experience expressed by Sadashiva Mahadeva Patanjali and great Hatha yogic masters like Matsyendranatha Gorakhnatha, the sanyasa sampradayas of Shankara, these great vedantic, yoga vedantic traditions, what they speak as kundalini awakening, what they express and define as the Samadhi experience, let that happen in all of you. I am very clear.
Please understand now I am offering my whole being and everything to all those Masters and say Oh Masters whatever you wanted as Samadhi experience; Oh Mahadeva, Shiva, what you wanted to transmit as Samadhi experience to the world, Oh Patanjali what you wanted to teach through ashtanga yoga as Samadhi experience to the world, Oh Matsyendranatha, Gorakhnatha what you wanted to give it to the world through hatha yoga; let that pure yogic Samadhi experience, not any diversion, any siddhi, any black magic, no, what you all wanted to transmit to the world as great Samadhi experience only let that happen to all of you. Only let that happen in all of us; nothing else. Please understand now you will all experience, we will all experience only the pure Samadhi experience of those great Masters.
I am very clear I offer myself at their feet. Whatever energy expressing through this body I offer it at their feet, pray to them and earnestly request them their divine presence and let there not be any diversion from what they wanted to offer as Samadhi to us. Let there not be any side route, perversion or going in a different direction. What they wanted to do to planet earth to human consciousness let that happen in all of you. Let that happen in all of us. Please understand I am very clearly invoking their presence. Oh Masters, please be here available with all of us and what you all wanted that pure yoga vedantic experience happen in all of us. As the side effect of that experience all the miracles, all the auspicious miracles happen.
Please understand I am making it again and again very clear whatever you are all experiencing is pure, authentic, traditional, spiritual, yoga vedantic kundalini awakening. And you are all heading directly towards the ultimate Samadhi experience; atmagnana atmaanubhooti enlightenment experience. I am not doing any magic, miracle, hypnotism. I am doing a clear, authentic, ancient, time tested, fool proof method of awakening the kundalini shakti and leading you all to Samadhi as per the yoga vedantic tradition. I am saying now invoking the presence of all those Masters Oh Mahadeva, Sadashiva, Patanjali, Matsyendranatha, Gorakhnatha, Oh all the great Masters, I request all those Masters to be present here and let them all bless all of us. Let the pure yoga vedantic Samadhi experience and the awakening of the kundalini as they wanted happen in all of us. So the side effect of this experience will only be health, bliss, joy, creativity, prosperity and all the auspicious things and the highest conscious experience; enlightenment itself.
So please understand it is no way any black magic or hypnotism or mystical or hysterical; nothing, it is pure spiritual experience. I invoke their presence and I promise upon them, if I am an incarnation, to transmit this pure yoga vedantic Samadhi experience to all of you. Let them happen now in all of us. Let that awakening of kundalini as described by those great Masters happen in all of us. You will see let that Masters presence fill all of us. When the kundalini awakening happens, as a side effect of that kundalini awakening rocking, swaying, levitation happens.
Please understand, sometime levitation need not happen. You may feel your body completely silent, stable, frozen, but deeply empty inside. Even that is kundalini awakening. For some bodies it will be levitation for some bodies it will be completely peaceful, silent, frozen state, for some bodies different, different auspicious things will express. Now I wanted to define exactly what is happening here. See here is a body, an incarnation body who is completely not only awakened, alive, whose body is ready to transmit the kundalini awakening to anybody just by the mere presence or will; not even will, just a presence. So anybody sits in the breathing space, presence, the transmission is happening.
You may wonder then how through video satsang it is happening. Understand Masters Presence is not limited by space and time. So wherever you are if you are able to see me I am able to see you, immediately that connection happens. And there is another one level of connection. Even if you are not able to see me I am not able to see you, you just remembering me or me just remembering you, the presence starts happening and levitation starts happening. For that a little more maturity is needed from your part. Please understand the question is all about that only. Can we have the same kundalini awakening if it is not two way. You can; even if I am not seeing you, you can experience kundalini awakening but for that you needed to be little more mature, means the ability to enter into my inner space, the transcendental consciousness is needed for you, which may need little more practice.
I tell you if you have physically come here and attended LEP or this Inner Awakening where I started initiating people into the kundalini awakening and levitation, then if you had that initiation and then go and sit in this satsangs, immediately you will experience; because the initiation has happened. Even if that initiation has not happened, the second priority is sitting live with the eN satsangs that I am able to see you; you are able to see me. That is the second priority. The third priority is you sitting and watching me live but I am unable to see you physically; that’s a third priority. But you will also start experiencing in few days; the more you fall in tune and actually Masters presence is not limited to space and time. Only in the initial level for the initiation you need the limitation of space and time. So exactly when the kundalini shakti, your inner potential energy, your bio energy, inner potential bio energy, when it is awakened by the Masters presence and blessings, so many auspicious things start happening in your system.
Just yesterday we received some of the scientific research we did on Inner Awakening. They say 1300%, 13 times the cell energy the bio cell energy is awakened in human beings during this kundalini awakening, during this eN effect. Please understand 1300% 13 times than normal human beings!! Second fact they are saying even the people who did not participate in the process, just sat in my presence volunteering, even on them 1100% the increase of the energy was shown. Please understand two groups they studied. One, people who sat and went through the process, attended went through all the meditation of samana yoga, mudra everything. Second group which just sat did not do any process; which was volunteering. Of course third is the normal human beings.
Normal human beings 100% energy means, the group which sat and went through the process was experiencing 1300%, 13 times more energy awakening; the cell energy the inner potential energy bio energy, and the normal group……..the group which was sitting and volunteering, which was not doing any process had 1100%. Means the power of presence, Master’s job is 90 %, only 10% is the process you are doing is awakening your energy. So the presence does the 90% job of initiation into the kundalini experience. That is why I am saying yesterday when I said I am physically feeling connected to those five centers and the vibhooti will start coming from those centers padukas, immediately in one hour I received the photographs in all those centers padukas vibhooti coming.
Please understand when I see you, I can say very clearly the connection has happened; the quality control QC pass. When only you are seeing me, connection may be happening but I cannot be giving….. I will not be able to give the guarantee that the effect has already happening. You see the eN effect happens in two level. One, infectious; just because your neighbor is levitating your bio memory will pick up. It is good to start; but in that level transformation itself will not start happening. Levitation, kundalini awakening is happening only in the flesh level, skin level, skin deep. But when I am initiating you, the levitation starts happening in the bone marrow level, in the very being. Then, the kundalini awakening will lead to the transformation. Please understand it will lead to the transformation of your very being.
Basically this kundalini awakening is expected to lead you to more and more joyful, transformed, blissful character. Otherwise just jumping, hopping is not going to help you. It will create the highest possible coherence in your brain which will create health, joy, transformation and amazing, blissful, creative character in you. That is the essence; that is the purpose of this kundalini awakening. So the devotee who asked this question from the Jayanagar satsang center, please understand you can experience kundalini awakening, levitation, even if I am not seeing you, no doubt, but if I am seeing you, I can ensure that connection has happened and not only kundalini awakening, the more and more miracles and kundalinis expressions can happen.
As I said just now, please understand, this centers which are sitting with me now, which I am able to see, all these centers, now two thing will happen one from the padukas of your center vibhooti will start coming, second people who are sitting and levitating inside your samana mudra hand vibhooti will be there. End of the satsang vibhooti will be there take that vibhooti and give it to people who have come to your center now for healing. They will be healed. Understand this kind of teleporting I will be able to do only if two way connection is possible. Just the kundalini awakening you may have experience even if it one way; if you are seeing me. But this teleporting we will be able to do only if there is two way connection. That is one thing. Second, I can see very clearly the connection between you and my body is getting so matured, within this Shivarathri scientifically we will prove, we will call the scientific community and prove the teleporting is possible from here.
See actually now the vibhooti which is coming from my padukas in your centers now and the vibhooti happening in your hands now is actually coming from my table, from this table. It is not created, it is getting teleported; from this table it is reducing and it will be transmitted there. We will prove this to a scientific community. We will call scientific community and prove this to the scientific community and.... What Singapore vibhooti has started coming? Alright….. you have touched the padukas….. in the padukas is it coming? Ok, by the end of satsang you will see. So end of the satsang you will see it is expressing.
Please understand I wanted all of you to know two things. One I am not doing any magic or miracle. I am doing the exact spiritual science as taught by Sadashiva Maheshwara, Patanjali, Gorakhnatha, Matsyendranatha, Buddha; all these great Masters. That is what just before starting this satsang as I said I invoke their presence. I promise upon them let what they wanted to transmit to the world as kundalini awakening and as Samadhi happen in all of us; so that you are all clear there is no black magic here, there is no hypnotism here. It is pure, authentic, time tested, fool proof, 1000s of years of yoga vedantic tradition’s Samadhi experience, kundalini awakening. This is first. Second thing now we will make this whole thing scientific.
Now yesterday we tried one process, process of teleporting vibhooti on padukas; you see on matter. See padukas have direct connection with me but fortunately they donot have logic; independent logic. So making vibhooti happening in them is the first step; very easy. Now second step I am working is making vibhooti happening in people who has logic but who are willing to surrender; on those bodies. Now the vibhooti will start happening. The third thing we will call the scientific community who has logic, who are not interested in surrendering; to them we will prove this teleporting is possible based on the Samadhi experience of yoga vedantic tradition. The kundalini awakening does not need any physical nearness or presence. It is beyond space and time.
So I will answer all the points in this question, Mahesh’s question. You can experience same kundalini awakening if you are watching live from your homes on eN TV but for the deeper and deeper mystical connections to happen like teleporting, deeper Samadhi experiences, maybe the two way connection will be really helpful. So I will really encourage you guys to gather as group in more and more places and have two way connection. We are expanding our infrastructure to connect with 100 cities at a time. We will be able to have…. give you two way connection. Only thing don’t take two way connection just for one or two people. At least if you are able to gather 50 people everyday then have two way connection. If you are running our temple then you can have two way connection. When you are sitting as group to land on you intensely in the energy form is very easy for me, than one individual. If you are one individual, you are initiated, then it is easy. If you are not directly initiated, if you are sitting as a group, it is very easy for me to land on you all and awaken the kundalini shakti.
So first thing I sincerely request all of you who have not done the Inner Awakening after I started teaching kundalini awakening and levitation to come and attend one Inner Awakening. See if you have done LEP or this Inner Awakening 2010 December, OK. If not come and do one Inner Awakening, directly get initiated in kundalini awakening and levitation. That is a great thing. Then even if you sit alone in your home you will experience kundalini awakening.
Now Singapore she is sitting all alone but she is experiencing because she is initiated. Same way, till initiation at least gather as group some fifty people, at least fifty people; then it is easy for me to land on you and awaken your kundalini. Have as group satsang. And as a satsang group when you sit, it is really totally different. And I request all the satsang centers and temples all of you, each one of you don’t need to do the guru puja. But at least you can have the main paduka kept in the front. When the guru puja happens here, pratyaksha pada puja happens here, at least the pujari can sit and do the puja there on behalf of the whole satsang center. On behalf of the whole satsng center one person can do the guru puja, the pratyaksha pada puja, same puja which happens here, so that the presence is intensely invoked and felt and more and more people experience kundalini awakening, health, creativity, prosperity and all the auspicious things.
Not only that I am seeing very clearly all our temples and centers where the kundalini awakening is happening is going to grow exponentially because so much positive energy is radiating, so much positive energy is radiating. I am seeing very clearly. So don’t bother at all. We will start the deeper and deeper realms of spiritual explosion. Tomorrow I will give you more detailed the research reports done on the December 2010 Inner Awakening and more deeper process and experience we will start. Even after this process the people who experienced kundalini awakening please sit for some ten twenty minutes you may experience vibhooti happening from your hand; teleporting happening from your hand. At least for next ten minutes continue to sit and you can give that vibhooti to people who have come there for healing and send me the response and report whoever experienced vibhooti happening in their hands.
Actually making vibhooti come in the paduka is very easy because it doesn’t have a logic. It doesn’t resist. It doesn’t have intellect. But human body has resisting intellect logic. So it takes little time but we will do it. I can see very clearly the connection is so deep, it is happening, it is happening. Then we will call the scientific community which has logic which is not ready to surrender and prove to them the teleporting science. I bless you all, let us all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you. 35:35
Patanjali Yoga Sutras 99
Ashtanga Yoga –Asana: Reprogram Your Brain

Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all, with my love and respects. Dear devotees and disciples, from all over the world, let me enter into the yoga sutra, the today's Patanjali Yoga Sutra. Today's sutra is 99th sutra, in 2nd chapter, 48th verse. Subject is 'Reprogram Your Brain'.
Tatha dvandva anabigataaha Anabigaataha Tatha dvandva anabigaataha. That is the sutra. I'll give you the translation.
By Swami Vivekananda...Posture being conquered, the dualities do not obstruct.
And Swami Prabavananda translates as, thereafter, one is no longer troubled by the dualities of sense experience.
Swami Satchidananda translates as; thereafter one is not disturbed by the dualities.
In this sutra, Patanjali tries to explain how after conquering the posture, the pain and pleasure of the body is conquered. You are no more caught by it. Please understand, the last sutra, I have detailed way explained, how to conquer posture. 'Sukham, Sthiram, Aasanam' - Steady and comfortable. Now I'll give you a technique, I'll make you do that. Last time I explained the theory of being steady and comfortable. 'Stiram Sukham'. Now I'll give you the exact technique.
Please understand, I'll give you the instruction for the technique, how to make your body balanced. After giving the instruction, I'll explain step by step how keeping the body balanced takes you beyond pain and pleasure. See, if you keep the body balanced, you know you will not have pain. You will have the stable, steady posture. You may be wondering, how can that take me beyond pleasure? Actually when you keep the body balanced, the intense, innate, inside pleasure gets awakened. Please understand, your muscle, by its nature, creates pleasure, just because it is alive. I don’t know how you are going to catch what I am saying. If the life force is infused into the muscle, if the muscle is aware that it is alive, it will create pleasure. So, when you balance your body, the life force, is experienced inside muscle, which leads to intense, inner pleasure, which takes you beyond, the outer pleasure.
J Krishnamurti says, when you enjoy any pleasure, just be aware. Only once go through any pleasure being aware, you will be completed in that pleasure and you will be liberated from it. This is what J Krishnamurti means. When you are alive, when you are alive in your muscles, the pleasure created, is so strong, so intense, you will go beyond the outer pleasure. Let me give you the instruction exactly, for balancing.
Sit either in, vajrasana or padmasana and sukhasana. Then try to find out in which position your upper body feels most light, weightless. You see, if you push your body…. don’t do now, first listen to the instruction. If you push your body with closed eyes like this, you know, you will feel the weight of the body and slowly try to bring; at one point when it is straight. When the equilibrium is completely balanced, when the whole weight falls in the centre, you will feel your body is weightless. Same way try side, left side, you will feel the heaviness of the body, and again slowly, raise your body. Actually when you balance like this, if you wear like this heavy jewel it will be useful, heavy rudraksha, you will really catch the exact point. So one more use of energy beads!! If you balance at one point you will see, again your body is weightless. Push the body to the right side, again start step by step with deep awareness. Bring your body slowly, at one point you will see, WOW, 'I am weightless'! Same way backside; slowly bring, at one point you will feel you are weightless. Try this in all four direction, you will find the balanced posture for you.
It may take totally 3 to 4 minute. That’s it, nothing else. You need to bend to the front, feel the heaviness of the body and slowly push it back. You need to bend side, feel the weight, and slowly push it to the center and this side and backside. Any, any direction, in this four any direction you can start, but you need to do from all four, only then you will find out that balance point, for you. Only then you will find out the balance point for you. Please understand, the moment you find out your balance point and be centered, immediately you'll see, there is no pain, you can sit for any number of hours.
Actually next four days, all the NSP participants you can see, practically I will be sitting with you around 10 hours. You will not see me having any discomfort or uncomfort. You will see exactly me sitting in the same posture. You can note, next four days you can see, I'll be sitting exactly in this same posture, 10 hours a day with you all. At least, at least 10hrs a day, you will not see me having any discomfort, uncomfort, anything. Last 10 years, at least 10,000 hrs I would have sat in this same posture; no discomfort, no uncomfort, no pain, nothing. Your body will master, the posture.
When you sit in the proper posture, and have the samana mudra, immediately you will experience the psychological kundalini awakening, means you will become light. Psychological levitation will happen. You will become light; then few days of practice, the physical levitation also will happen. Please do not imitate samana mudra from me. See, whenever I do samana mudra, I put left thumb on the top. You don't imitate. You do only right thumb on the top. Actually, I am imbalancing samana little bit, only then I will not levitate, that's why. So I'll just imbalance little bit, so that I can be settled and not only….. Of course, I don't physically levitate. I have balanced that much. Even otherwise to talk, to relate with you all I need to little, very mild percent, but samana need to be little imbalanced. Imbalanced means like a other energies need to be added, kept live. So whenever I put myself in samana mudra, it will be left thumb up, but whenever you do, it is supposed to be right thumb up.
Now, let us balance. Let me give the instruction. Push the body to the front side, and slowly move back and find out at what posture, your body is completely balanced and weightless. Let us do the first step. Please push the body forward, as much as you can and get it back very slowly, very slowly. First feel the heaviness of the body. Push it forward, feel the heaviness, weight of the upper body. Backbone should be straight. It should be straight. Then slowly bring it back, please try this balancing.
Then push the body left side now, left side. Feel the heaviness, weight of the body, and slowly bring it back. Find out the center, the center in which body is weightless. Now push the body to the right side, fully, completely. Push it as much as you can slowly. Bring it back, to the center. And, try to find, the center where you are weightless. Now push the body backward, push it backside, as much as you can. Bring it back, very slowly, very slowly, with awareness. Find the point, you are weightless. If you want, you can take few more seconds and try once more from any direction you want. Right or left or back or front.
Now, let us understand, what Patanjali means by, 'Tatha dvandva anabigaataha'. When the posture is conquered, there is no dualities; means, pain and pleasure; excitement and boredom; body completely feels balanced, settled, alive. So all we need to do is aligning the body. Every day before you sit for your meditation, take these 3 minutes and align your body. You will see now, all the aligned body, the kundalini awakening will be very easy. When the body is aligned, the awakening of the kundalini becomes very easy. Just, the backbone structure is such; the energy very easily flows from center to center to the crown.
I'll guide you all into the simple process, of balancing your backbone. See now, what we did, with that you balanced your backbone posture externally. I'll align your nadi's; energy centers now internally. Don't move the body now. Once you freeze it, freeze it. Seattle, stay still. Once you freeze, then just be still. If your body moves because of the kundalini awakening then it is okay. You yourself don’t move in an ordinary way. I'll awaken your inner energy, and align, your posture, through this proper syllables; the beeja mantras
OM
Let your root center be completely awakened. Let the kula kundalini,, kudalini maha shakti, in your root center, be awakened, Let the Ganesha, Mahadeva, who is stable in your root centre be alive.
OM
Let the kundalini shakti, in your swadishtana, being centered, be alive and awakened.

I bless you all; live, radiate, share the Eternal Bliss, Nithyananda.

I welcome you all with my love and respects. Dear devotees and disciples from all over the world; many from around the world are sitting in this hall and in many halls around the world I am sitting now. As on now in 12 places NSP is happening; 12 places people are sitting with us now. As you are all aware this is the first program, four day workshop, I am offering through internet video conferencing. So I am just aligning. In those days before starting the ritual the acharyas will do puja to the different parts. Now before starting the class we should do puja to all the different video conferencing equipments and everything; see that they are all in tune.
Gnanamaya, can you connect with Malaysia? Ok, are they able to hear me? No. Ok. Alright I send my blessing to all the devotees in Malaysia. Today they successfully had a peace march in Malaysia with 1000s of devotees, which was attended and watched by 100s of thousands of people, public. Today one of the largest religious festival happening in southern part of Asia; in Malaysia today there is a festival today called Thaipusam. More than millions of people gather; more than millions means at least 2 million. More than 2 million gather, huge gathering of Hindus. And today our devotees had a huge procession with few thousands of people for religious peace and religious freedom; freedom to practice our religion. It was successful and well received by everybody. My blessings to Malaysia devotees and to Malaysia for giving us religious freedom to practice our religion and faith; I thank Malaysia and its government for respecting and allowing our religious freedom. Thank you for being a welcoming country for religious freedom.
Let’s enter into the satsanga. Satsanga means being in the company of truth the ultimate truth. Truth has a unique quality. When you are in the company of it, it makes you as it. Please understand I am using very decisive words. When you are in company of it, it makes you as it; because no other word I am using the word ‘it’ but it is not ‘it’. When you use the word ‘it’ for something it shows as if it is not alive. But the truth is living happening. When you are in the company of the ‘sat’, the ultimate truth, it just fills you, it just fills you. You become that. Satsanga means, being in the company of the ultimate truth. So now you are literally in the company of the ultimate truth; physically, mentally, verbally.
So I just wanted to remind you all, sit either in vajrasana or sukhasana or padmasana and samana mudra; samana mudra means the right thumb should be up and the left thumb should be lower and lock the hand; that’s it; samana mudra. Some of you may be aware I am giving a special spiritual training to all the satsang centers. First few days I was giving them the experience of kundalini awakening, the next few days along with the kundalini awakening, awakening the paduka, means the vibhooti materializing, getting materialized from padukas. You see it is not for any magic or miracle. When a vibhooti comes out of the paduka, now you know that paduka is now jagrat paduka, awakened paduka, which has a direct connection with me. So any prayer or a word or offering you offer it to that paduka, directly reaches me. It is connected to the cosmic energy. Please understand energized deity or energized paduka and awakened deity or awakened paduka is independent intelligence. It responds to your prayers, emotions, thoughts, independently and immediately. So I was awakening the intelligence in padukas; prana pratishtha of the padukas were happening.
I was so happy in the first set of training many had kundalini awakening and the second set of actions many padukas I have strongly felt being connected and the vibhooti has started coming. Every day I am receiving photographs through devotees. Third experiment which I was trying, which I will continue to try for next one week till the end of the NSP, I will try to materialize or teleport vibhooti in the hands of the people who are experiencing kundalini awakening. This is the next experiment. Please understand it’s a different levels and levels of experiment. First the paduka which is not, which does not have a logic, which is an ordinary material, from that materializing vibhooti; it’s very easy project, easy thing. Then person who has a logic, but ready to surrender, a devotee, from his hand materializing. Then the third level we will do, person who has a logic but who is not ready to surrender, scientific community or an atheist or a thick head, maybe a politician. We will get those people and from their hand we will materialize.
And, no, this is not for any glory or magic or anything. It is just to tell you this is a science; simple science. When the cosmic energy is awakened how much of auspicious things can be done to people. That day I was trying to materialize vibhooti from the hands of the devotees, I received photographs and email from Oman, Nithya Devi, one of our devotee, Sri Priyan’s daughter, she had vibhooti in her hands; not little, huge quantity. I wanted to tell her, please distribute that vibhooti to anybody who is sick who comes for healing. Immediately they will be healed; whether it is a cancer or any disease. Because when this vibhooti…...actually it is not materializing, materializing is not right word. It is not creation, it is teleporting; from my table here there is a vibhooti it will reduce here and it will go there.
Maybe from tomorrow I will prove. We will have a test tube, a glass tube in that we will fill the vibhooti with mark. You will see the vibhooti going down by the time I end the satsang and the vibhooti will be there in a different place. It’s like teleporting. So when the matter becomes energy and travels to that persons hand and again becomes energy by the time this is filled by my healing energy. It almost becomes part of my body. So it will be filled with the healing energy. So anybody with any physical and mental disorder, give this vibhooti which comes out of paduka or comes out of hand, you will see immediately they will be healed. Tremendous healing will happen. Even in Tamil Nadu some six seven centers reported yesterday in organizers meet to me that the day I declared that from all padukas vibhooti will come…..
Vibhooti just came from New York paduka it is coming…..in New York just now it is coming I am seeing the message. New York…. They are sending the message to me. Just now vibhooti is coming. Great! That’s what tomorrow we will have... actually now you cannot quantify because it is all in the cover. From tomorrow we will have it in the test tube with a marking so you will see exactly how it goes down step by step and comes out there. Anyhow New York devotees give that vibhooti to people who want healing because it will be a powerful energy product. Actually that vibhooti will be more powerful than the vibhooti directly you take it from here. If I give it in the hand I am not materializing, that just the matter getting energized and goes into your hand. But there it is almost like gets dismantled by energy and travels in space and gets assembled again in energy. It is like filled by the energy. Great! Use this for the healing.
It is time now we enter into the satsang. I am so happy actually today I feel it’s a big breakthrough for the great mission which I need to do for the world. Because we are using technology and the scalable breakthrough is happening. So I don’t need to continuously travel to teach, educate, give experience to people. That is the only purpose I used to travel. I never travel for sightseeing. I never have any interest for sightseeing. No, really! I went to Paris. The devotee who hosted me she was so excited that she can take me to the top of the Eiffel tower. She drove me all around and she was, she bent on she was literally begging ‘Swamiji we should go to the top and see the Paris’. I said no, I am able to see. What more you will show. I did not even lower the car glass to look. I said no, it’s ok, drive. She said ‘Swamiji at least lower the glass and look for my sake because this is such a big pride we have. Anybody comes to this city we show them and people are surprised, shocked, excited. You are not even lowering the glass. It’s almost like disrespecting’. I said no, no, no I am not disrespecting. Just I am not excited to see something. I have seen the seer who is the most beautiful scene. So nothing more excites me.
Maybe one thing I see with all my excitement in my life is that Arunachla nothing else. That’s why you will see in my bedroom, near my bedroom, you will see one Arunachala. Wherever I sit and give my personal interview or talking to people I will have one Arunachala. Whenever I find time my eyes will be on Arunachala. Maybe that is the only thing I see with excitement. Otherwise there is nothing. That also I can see when I close my eyes, so there is nothing. I don’t need to travel for the sake of sightseeing. I was always travelling for the sake of teaching and giving experience. And fortunately the technology has made it possible, the technology has made that my teaching is possible through remote way and the divine energy has made even giving experience has become possible in the remote way.
So I am so happy for the video conferencing technology and for Matsyendranatha and Gorakhnatha. Please understand the kundalini experience which the people are experiencing being away physically from me like many other centers... you see being in my breathing space and experiencing kundalini, this technology happened in me because of Patanjali. This was happening even before. Even the time from which I started mission it was happening. But people experiencing the awakening of kundalini even not being in my breathing space, like video conferencing, this happened in me because of Matsyendranatha and Gorakhnatha; their Hatha yogas, Hatha yoga techniques; that was responsible.
I wanted this to be on record, whoever is experiencing the kundalini awakening being in different places through the satsang all of you are indebted to Matsyendranatha and Gorakhnatha. They are great masters of... they are actually master disciple both of them are responsible ... like twins almost like Ramakrishna and Vivekananda, even though they are two bodies they are same energies. Same way Matsyendranatha and Gorakhnatha, two bodies but same energy; they are the masters of Hatha yoga and most powerful energy science, energy technology. It is their technology which has become experience in me, which is responsible for this awakening of kundalini even if people are in remote place. So now we can teach and give experience anybody anywhere in the world literally. I bless you all, live, radiate, share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you. 19:09
PYS 100 Astanga Yoga: Pranayama 1

DURATION: 9:44
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. Today is 100th sutra of Patanjali’s Yoga sutras; in second chapter 49th verse; pranayama - cessation of breathing. Please understand I am not translating pranayama as control of breathing. All the orthodox translation say control of breathing. I am translating cessation means completely stopping. You may think oh, them should we die or what. No! I am not asking you to die. When I say the word cessation of breathing I mean breathing which you experience every day, every moment; which awakens the thought also along with the air movement, should be stopped. Cessation of air movement with thoughts is what I call breathing. That should be stopped.
See what you understand as breathing is air movement with thoughts also being awakened. That should be stopped. That’s what I call pranayamaha. So I don’t want to use the word control of breathing. Prana and breathing is not equalent words. Please understand it is not translation. Breathing means air movement with thoughts. Prana means air movement without thoughts. So cessation of breathing is what I call pranayama. Cessation of air movement with thoughts is what I call pranayama. Only air movements no thoughts; is what I call pranayama.
So let me enter into the sutra, what Patanjali describes lets understand. In this sutra he just introduces the pranayama. Tasmin sati shvasa prashvsayoh gati vichchhedah pranayamah. Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as control of the motion of the exhalation and inhalation follows after this. Swami Prabhavananda translates as after mastering posture one must practice the prana by, practice control of the prana pranayam, by stopping the motions of inhalation and exhalation. Swami Sachidananda translates this sutra as that firm posture being acquired the movements of inhalation and exhalation should be controlled. This is pranayama.
I will translate this sutra as after achieving the firm posture, means balanced steady and comfortable posture, as I taught you yesterday through that technique of balancing, you should learn the practice of breathing without thinking; without thoughts being awakened. That is what I call science of pranayama. Please understand along with the air movement if the thoughts are also awakened you are not inhaling pure prana; the life energy. Please understand these few things. Air is not life energy. There is a subtle energy goes inside along with air. That is what is called prana.
Air is like a lorry and prana is the object goes inside the lorry; like how lorry comes here and unloads what we bought, the objects and goes back. Same way the life energy is carried by the air, it goes inside and the life energy gets unloaded into the body, stays inside and lorry comes out; means the air comes out. If there is more thought, less life energy will go inside. If there is less thought more life energy will go inside. If lorry itself is too heavy and only less products can come inside, then what is the use. Lorry should be less weight and more product should come through the lorry; otherwise our story of we buying vegetables. Only lorries and lorries and lorries will come. In each lorry 2 potato one brinjal will come. If I ask what happened why only lorries are coming no vegetables. No Swamiji we paid only for lorries. We forgot to pay for vegetables.
So almost all of us are doing the same thing; too much of air is going inside but no prana is going inside. No life energy is coming inside. So understand only life energy should come inside, no air. Only life energy no air is the ideal situation. We are supposed to be having no thought but only breathing. So we are supposed to now learn the science of breathing without thinking.
Please understand let me translate this sutra tasmin sati shvasa prashvsayoh gati vichchhedah pranayamah. After mastering steady comfortable posture, asana, through the balance technique which I taught you yesterday now you should learn the science of exhaling and inhaling without thoughts. That is what is exactly pranayamah. It is not just controlling the inhalation and exhalation. It is controlling the exhalation and inhalation without thoughts. That is what I call cessation of breathing. Cessation of breathing is pranayanmah. Let us learn the technique in next, next sutras. This is the essence of this sutra, essence of this sutras message. I bless you all to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss Nithyananda. Thank you. 9:34
Kundalini Awakening Q\&A

O:47 I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees from around the world who are sitting with us now live in two way and one way. The two way I can see. So again I wanted to remind all of you. Sit either in vajrasana or padmasana or sukhasana. Keep your hands in samana mudra and sit in a very relaxed way.
Please understand if you keep your hands in samana mudra the fake levitation will not happen. In samana mudra only the authentic kundalini awakening can shake your body. The fake levitation; fake levitation means sometime people get excited and body starts moving; that will not happen. I wanted you guys to experience authentic kundalini awakening; that is why the padmasana and samana mudra. If you sit in any of these three asana; padmasana or sukhasana or vajrasana and samana mudra, that is the most difficult posture to move your body. You can see especially if you sit in padmasana and samana mudra you can never have fake levitation. You don’t need to worry am I having fake levitation or originally I am having kundalini awakening. If you sit in padmasana and samana mudra, any movement in your body can happen only if kundalini is awakened; because that is the most difficult posture for body movement.
This is Madhuri from Jaipur Rajasthan. "Swamiji I am learning physical exercise, yoga and martial arts from last two years. We learnt some techniques in martial arts. That if like somebody hold your both hands then how we can take out our hands easily from the other persons grip. In this technique the person who wants to take out his hands out of the other persons hand grip will put a force in outward direction to the point where the hand is weak towards the thumb side. Before, when I used to practice the technique and hold the other persons hand very tightly, since they know that technique they used to take out their hands very easily. Now I am doing Nithya Dhyaan and listening to live satsang regularly by your grace.
Just two days before on 13th January, I practiced the same technique but nobody was able to unlock my grip; not even batch mates of my age. In fact the senior most in my batch was struggling to take out his hand from my grip. Is this kundalini shakti and if yes is my kundalini shakti has awakened?”
Madhuri, it is the side effect of kundalini shakti no doubt and your kunalini is awakened no doubt. Two thing; in the martial arts, when somebody touches you, if your kundalini energy is more than their kundalini evergy, even if you don’t attack them they will just fall. They will be completely shaken. The martial arts, is more kundalini energy based. The other day I was seeing a video, a Chinese master. He did not touch even one person but he was fighting with 20 people. All 20 were rolling on the ground. He did not touch even one person. So what you see here, see here I make you guys roll in the ground with my love energy, the compassion energy, by awakening the kundalini. The same thing that master was doing with pure energy. It was neither anger nor compassion; just pure energy. Actually pure energy itself will have a trace of compassion.
So I could see very clearly, I will get the video and give you the reference tomorrow. Tomorrow in the satsang I will give you the reference and it’s in the YouTube you can all watch. I saw from the YouTube only. So if your kundalini is fully awakened you don’t even need to touch anybody. The moment you look at them they will roll on the ground. So, your kundalini is awakened. That is the reason nobody is able to unlock them self or defeat you. Madhuri, you are on the right direction, please enjoy.
I am really surprised from all over the world, I don’t even know the cities and the country’s name; people are watching this live satsang. Thanks to the technology. Thanks to the technology. Now we are having only 10 connections two way. In a month we will have 108 connections two way. We are establishing. Even if some centers are able to gather 20 people we will give them two way connection because from March 2nd, 21 days we wanted to create eN effect all over the world and reduce the natural calamities and manmade calamities. Natural calamity means all the earthquake, tsunami and all those things. Man made calamities like crimes and wars. So in that 21 days we will prove visibly to the world; eN effect the only solution for manmade calamities and natural calamities; create eN effect the only hope for future. We will prove this in that 21 days. So that, I request all the devotees to gather as many devotees as possible and meditate, practice unclutching those 21 days in the live satsang.
And I am also going to do one more thing. Many devotees from around the world are struggling to keep up this time, live satsang. Next question is about that. I will read this next question answer then ... “Dear Swamiji I have two questions please. Since the live pada puja and satsang is from 2 to 4 AM UK time, I am sleeping very irregular hours now. I find that I often have to sleep for couple of hours during the day time as my body is feeling sleepy. So I have not been able to maintain working for 12 hours a day as you said. Is it ok for the body to have irregular sleeping patterns? What’s the best thing to do as I want to keep watching you live?”
This question is from Satroopini, London. Two hours sleeping during the day time is ok. That 12 hours working does not mean continuous 12 hours. In a day if you do 12 hours that is enough. And actually satsang time becomes working hours because you are not keeping quiet. I am working on you. So you can add satsang time also as working hours. “That’s first thing. Second thing, due to the timings we have not yet as yet succeeded, we have not as yet succeeded in gathering a large group of people so we can have a two way satsang with you at morning satsang. Devotees who work and those with children have indicated it is difficult for them to attend. Also the public transport system is not dependable at that time of morning. So we are all individually watching you at our own homes. We have thought about it a lot but have not found any solutions to these logistical issues. How can we also benefit and be part of the eN effect and have a live interactive session with you.”
Satroopini, London, Satroopini from London, I am sorting out not only your problem, problem of many devotees from all over the Europe and South East Asia. From March 2nd we will have two satsangs; morning and evening. So, so I am planning the second satsang timing consulting with all the satsang centers around the world. So, almost, all the countries will be able to attend any one of this satsang. That is the way I am working out the timings. So morning I will have one sitting, evening also I will have one sitting. If you can participate in any one, great! So that 21 days the eN effect, we will be having two satsangs live. You can sit at any one time. And we are also expanding. Suddenly the satsang centers number has, is exploding. So if we have 108 connections; morning 108 cities can sit with me and evening 108 cities. But no city can sit twice because we are running short of connections. So we will open the doors. All the European south east Asian countries whose timings are matching with evening satsang can sit evening and all the countries like east coast and west coast of USA and countries like Guadeloupe, Toronto, the north America, Mexico; those countries can sit in the morning satsang.
Even the morning satsang time I am taking suggestions from all the satsang centers. We will be moving the time as per the devotees convenience around the world. So we will have two satsangs every day from March 2nd. Except the time, days, I am giving the programs like NSP or Inner Awakening, I will give two satsangs every day. Not only that I will start speaking on Brahma sutras. Mornings I will do on Yoga sutras, evenings I will do on Brahma sutras. Of course both will be uploaded in YouTube immediately. The live, when you sit live with me it will not only be an intellectual learning it will be an eN effect. You will have the experience also. If you just want the intellectual knowledge, in 24 hours it will be in the YouTube you can watch. We are exploding really. I can see. And I am really seeing in every satsang center the people who experience the eN effect, how powerful and creative they are becoming; powerful, creative, alive and how the Inner Awakening is happening in everybody. Cosmos is with us. Nobody can disturb us. Divine is supporting us so nobody can disturb us. Good.
So next question; this is Prasanna from San Hose. Is he there, San Hose, Prasanna?? “In many big festivals and religious gatherings I have witnessed handful of people start swaying and having involuntary motions; never levitation of course. My understanding was that for those few moments they were possessed by God and were channels of the divine. Is my understanding correct?”
Prasanna, I don’t want to say it is correct or wrong. It depends on individual. If the person who is swaying, having involuntary motions, if he is in bliss during the experience and after the experience if he becomes intelligent; sat chit ananda; sat means more integrated and more clear, more knowledgeable about life death and the great secrets of life like having more understanding about sacred secrets. That is the first scale. Second he should become more aware about his life and others life. Third he should become more blissful. If these three things sat chit ananda is increasing in that person then he is possessed by God for those few moments. If that three is not increasing, during the experience he is not blissful and sat chit ananda is not increasing after the experience, then he is not possessed by divine. He is just having some nervous breakdown. His nadi is having some chaotic experience.
“What is the difference between what we are experiencing during eN effect and their experience?” Please understand Prasanna, this is the difference. If sat chit ananda increases during the effect and after the effect, you are having eN effect, kundalini awakening. If that three is not there during the effect and after the effect, then it is nervous breakdown. So this is the right scale not to have the fake experience, fake levitation, nervous breakdown. Sit in samana mudra and padmasana you can never have fake experience. Those people who are swaying in these religious ceremonies and large gatherings, tell them to sit in padmasana and samana mudra everything will stop. Real kundalini awakening only can move your body if you sit in padmasana and samana mudra. If you are sitting in any other postures and body is swaying and moving there can be doubt. But if you are sitting in padmasana and samana mudra any movement can be only out of kundalini. So this is the scale to find out whether it is a nervous breakdown or eN effect.
“Dear Swamiji, thank you so much for the strange experiences I had during yesterday morning’s satsang.” This is from Nithya Priyatma, Neeraja from Atlanta satsang center. “Thank you so much for the strange experiences I had during yesterday’s morning satsang. I could not understand what it is; neither read any scripture to refer nor had any spiritual guidance from others. But I believe whatever happening to me is for my own good. Yesterday as usual I started levitating during pratyaksha pada puja.” Levitation has become almost like as usual, see. Once upon a time people used to meditate for 12 years to experience this levitation or animadi siddhis. Nowadays people don’t even think it is kind of a siddhi. They think it’s like you go to Nithyananda and sit with his live satsang. God!!! What have I done? See how casually people write, as usual I was levitating.
I used to feel like this casually, casual, when I was with Raghupathi Yogi. Just day before yesterday I met one of our devotee who was the devotee of Raghupathi Yogi also; great disciple of Raghupathi Yogi. He is the owner of a big hotel. Even now he runs the hotel Udupi hotel in Thiruvannamalai. He is from very spiritual family, Upadhyaya family, very highly spiritual person. He was the disciple of Raghupathi Yogi. He came to have my darshan and I was sitting and talking with him all the old days, good old days, Raghupathi yogi…. he is a very joyful, jovial person.
This, in his hotel once Raghupathi Yogi was sitting I was also with him. He was sharing the incident with me. So he was also sitting, we all three were chatting. We were having coffee. I was a small boy. So the dining table height was too much for me. So I was standing and drinking the coffee and they both were sitting on the chair and drinking the coffee. And somebody came and asked Raghupathi Yogi like a very disturbing way. I heard you can make people levitate means fly. Can you do that to me? Then Raghupathi Yogi jovially told him pay for this coffee bill, then I will do. Those days cup of coffee is something like a 60 paise. 60 paise means less than one rupee. So three coffee; the hotel owner was also having coffee. But usually he will never charge. He is a devotee so he will never ask money. So he was actually giving coffee for Raghupathi Yogi and for me and for himself. So this guy who came he said alright I will pay for three coffee. For all three coffee he paid and Raghupathi Yogi actually made him sit on that dining table and told him to hold the nostril and did something for three four minutes and pulled that dining table and he was levitating. He was there on the air. He was there on the air; just three four minutes. So I used to think oh levitation is ordinary. Just like how I used to think in those days with Raghupathi Yogi this Neeraja is telling as usual I was levitating.
“Yesterday as usual I started levitating during pratyaksha pada puja. After that when you were initiating us into kula kundalini awakening I had this strange experience. My eyes were squeezed inside my ajna chakra and it is trying to go upwards.” Neeraja it is perfect, right experience; your ajna is getting awakened. Usually when your ajna is awakened it will suck both the eyes. It will suck both the eyes inside. The third eye will be awakened only if the two eyes are sacrificed into the third eye. The life energy will be offered into the third eye only then the third eye will be awakened. Actually after the third eye is awakened all three eyes will be seeing, eyes will have the power. But for the awakening these two eyes will be sucked into the third eye.
“My head started moving up slowly on its own till it reached a point where I could not sit. I fell backwards. After sometime I got up and started staring at you in the monitor. I saw you were breathing the same way I was breathing.” Neeraja you had my pratyaksha darshan. That’s what is exactly, no doubt. If you are watching now you will see vibhooti will come out of your monitor, ok, just to show you that you are having pratyaksha darshan you are seeing me directly. “My body was moving up and down while breathing. I saw the same up and down movements in your body also.” Great!! “I asked my husband is Swamiji moving up and down, he said no. After that I went and slept. In the morning I was looking at our window blinds. I saw they are also breathing as I am breathing.” Neeraja you are having the glimpse of what I had at the age of 12; feeling everything alive. You are exactly having the glimpse of what I had during at the age of 12. “Few days ago I saw the eyes in the Guru Moorthi in the house, in our house, they are moving. Is it a spiritual experience or just my hallucination?”
Neeraja you can never have so many hallucinations. Don’t worry. So I will prove now you are not having hallucination, you are having the real spiritual experience, with two things. Sit with padmasana and samana mudra you will levitate with that. Second you will have vibhooti from the monitor when you are watching me. If you are watching now you will have now. If you are not watching me live now, when you watch me again live, at that time you will have it. So this will prove you are not having hallucination. You are having real spiritual experience.
I used to have this doubt sometimes when I was with Kuppammal. When I had my first experience itself, when I had my enlightenment at the age of 12, I had the doubt, am I possessed by ghost or God and all that. When I went to Kuppammal she did a very beautiful thing. She took me to the Arunachaleshwar temple, she took me near the garbha mandir and asked now remember that experience. I remembered. She asked is it getting intensified or getting diminished. I said it is getting intensified I can see now. This Shiva linga is alive, all this deities are alive, this whole temple is alive. She said this is the proof you are possessed by God; because the Arunachaleshwara temple is the most sacred and oldest energy center. If you are possessed by demon that experience cannot become solid here. It cannot get solidified. It can only diminish. It will only become dull. If you are possessed by divine experience, the real kundalini awakening, only then it can become intense.
So that is the reason, I always request all satsang centers to have some deity, God, the traditional Hindu deity. See have deities like Shiva or Vishnu or Ganesha; the traditional Hindu deities. No black magic can work in those places. That’s a reason I insist all satsang centers to have the traditional deities. You see an authentic Master will never create his own black magic deities. There are people going around creating their own black magic deities. You can’t understand you can’t connect them with the tradition. Even when they put the linga, it will not look like a traditional linga. Means what; they put their own energy the black magic energy and their own form.
So understand that is the reason I am telling you do not go to the places where the authentic traditional deities are not worshipped. Go for the Vedic traditional deities; Shiva, Krishna, Buddha, Rama, Ganesha. No black magic can work with these deities; because from the time immemorial they represent pure cosmic consciousness. So in the cosmos itself very clearly only the pure cosmic consciousness can be associated with that deities. So no black magic can work in the presence of those deities. That’s the reason I insist have a Shiva linga in your center. Have Ganesha or Venkateshwara, Rama, Krishna, those deities; no black magic can work and no fake experiences can happen. I think you all understand what I mean. How these fools, cheap people having, creating their own kind of Gods which no scriptures talk about, no tradition accepts. Because they can’t infuse their black magic energy into the traditional deities, so they create their own new, new names and new, new deities. So be aware of the people who create their own names their own... I have authentic time tested fool proof traditional deities.
“In Atlanta only women are experiencing kundalini awakening. They are rolling, rocking and levitating. Men are very depressed because nothing is happening to them.” Neeraja, don’t worry, I am not biased. I will give experience to men also. “They are thinking that they are not worthy of it; feeling low about themselves. They are thinking their wives are moving far away from them. Please do something for them Swamiji. Ma Nithya Priyatma.” Priyatma, I bless you from today men also will experience kundalini awakening in Atlanta. OK. Actually it is like this when men experience, the stability of the experience in men will be long. Women will experience very quickly but stability will be very less. So it’s like each body has one advantage and one disadvantage. So don’t worry about it.
Testimonials and comments; Oh God too many letters, All right, I will just finish this two. This is from Mukta Pushpa San Hose. “I am sure many of us went through an amazing experience during last night session with Swamiji. I could clearly feel a very blissful silence created within each of us after the session. Since I am still swaying with a very sweet bliss today, there is something very sweet to share with you all. When Swamiji started teleporting vibhooti I could clearly smell vibhooti and also my palms had its fragrance later on when we got home. Even Harish could smell it even after washing my hands. And another very sweet incident; I switched my cell phone off during eN effect process. All of a sudden my phone with switched off sound started playing Vishnu sahasranamam.”
Oh God! There is an incident Gnaneshwar in Gnaneshwars life, Namdev, so Gnaneshwar, Namdev and all used to walk naked. Some of the Brahmins caught them and started asking if you guys are avadhootas, Paramahamsas, as you claim can you make this buffalo chant Vedas? Namdev just sprinkled little water on the buffalo. Buffalo simply chanted the whole Vedic mantras beautifully; Rig Veda mantras. They were shocked. Now we can say switched off cell phone will chant sahasranama. Come on. I can say buffalo chanting Vedic mantra is much easy than the cell phone having Vishnu saharanama.
“First I thought the sound was coming from somewhere in the temple and I did not pay attention to it. Only after sometime I am seeing my phone in my pocket playing loud with silence mode on Vishnu sahasranama; not to mention that my cell phone is time password protected when it locks automatically after one minute of inactivity.” This is an experience. It is locked, silence mode, switched off and it is chanting Vishnu sahasranama. Great! It’s from Mukta Pushpas phone.
“Dear and respected Swamiji my namaskarams to you. Please accept my respects to you. I have been searching my Master internally for past 20 years.” This is Krishna from Toronto. “Cosmic force has answered my call silently because even without anybody recommending, first moment I saw you in the YouTube and heard your voice my inner space is filled with you. My nature is more internal; always searching for things inside the inner space. I must first experience the Brahman and attain yogic body and Vedic mind before I can get into satsang with others. Please accept my respects and bless me. Ennodeya ulunarvu unartavada nanugalodan edoovuraviyil ungalidan irangidiki”
He says I have a strong emotion that I had been with you in some distant past life. Please bless me and accept me as your virtual disciple for now. Very soon if you wish I will have your darshan in your presence. Krishna I accept you as my real disciple itself why just virtual disciple. I accept you as my disciple. You will have my darshan in my physical presence. “Accept this following sukta as if I am chanting in your presence with poorna kumbha.” He is giving poorna kumbha to me. I accept. Krishna you will experience. Yes.
Here is one more question. “Dear Swamiji what is the difference between contentment and suppression. In one discourse you said do not suppress in another you said be contented. They seem to be contradictory. How do we apply the two techniques? Achala, for you contentment; It is to the individuals. So for you practice contentment. That’s it.
I bless you all to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss Nithyananda. Thank you. 37:03
PYS 101 Pranayama Technique for Enlightenment

Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. Let us enter into the sutra; today’s sutra. All the participants in the NSP, should know, this morning satsang this pada puja and satsang is watched by 1000s of devotees in hundreds of countries all over the world and it is drastically increasing. Thanks to the technology. Our recent video conferencing equipment has made the eN TVs clarity more strong. And I am seriously considering to have a full fledged studio and satellite channel. Because people are, from all over the world lot of requests are coming. And even some devotees have offered some money also to support this project. They are all requesting Swamiji let’s have a satellite channel. So soon you can expect the announcement. We are working on it. It may take six months to one year but soon you can expect the announcement of launching of eN TV.
I am seeing, I am seeing all over the world, that morning satsang with the Master is becoming a culture. And I am also planning to spend more time with devotees and disciples by giving two satsangs and not only that, it has a purpose. You see people gathering together and sitting live with me has a purpose. If only knowledge transfer is the purpose then you don’t need to sit live with me. Just I can put it in the YouTube, listen, you will have the knowledge whenever you want. So we may not need a satellite channel. But when you sit live with me something more than knowledge transfer happens; the transmission is happening which is doing so much good for individuals and to the world. That’s a reason now we are working with video conferencing facility. We will upgrade this facility itself for 108 cities by March 2nd; that’s the first level work. And after that we will go for the second level work of launching a satellite TV where people can sit live all over the world everyday and listen to the satsang, morning satsang.
Today is 101st sutra, Patanjali’s yoga sutra in second chapter 50th verse. Pranayama; stop your mind. Pranayama; stop your mind to fulfill the breath. Please understand when you stop the mind your breathing gets fulfilled. If your mind is interfering with your breathing it is always unfulfilled. Just yesterday somebody was asking me ‘Swamiji I have everything any one will ask for in the life but somehow that emptiness, unfulfilled feeling. I don’t know what to do.’
Please understand if you feel you have everything in the outer world but still there is an unfulfillment, your breathing is not fulfilled. The first thing you need to fulfill in your life is breathing. If you fulfill your breathing, everything will be fulfilled in your life even though you have so many complications in the outer world. If you have not fulfilled your breathing, you will have a deep emptiness even if everything is fulfilled in the outer world. Please understand even if everything is fulfilled in the outer world you will not feel fulfilled. You will not feel fulfilled. Important thing you need to understand, even if you don’t feel things are right in the outer world, you can experience fulfillment and one important secret is always outer world follows the inner world. If you think the inner world follows the outer world, you are wrong.
Ramakrishna says very beautifully. Whatever you make in the inner world only happens in the outer world, not whatever you make in the outer world in inner world. NO! The fulfillment is always experienced first inner, in the inner world. Then that actually expresses itself in the outer world and outer world situations also fall in place and the fulfillment happens. But unfortunately ignorant mind starts thinking, if you create fulfillment in the outer world then it will happen in the inner world. No, it is not. It is not the truth and it does not happen in that way. Fulfill breathing first. How to fulfill breathing?
Let’s enter into the sutra and understand what Patanjali has to offer to all of us; the technology of fulfilling the breathing. I tell you just fulfilling the breathing your whole inner space can be transformed to fulfillment; maybe within 10 to 20 seconds. I can say instant cure for depression, instant cure for any mental disorders; any mental disorders at any level. I really feel bad for the western society which is caught with these psychiatric medicines depression medications. To come out of depression or the psychological sufferings medicines are the last help. It is so unfortunate they are stuck with medicines because they do not know anything else. I can tell you these Patanjali’s techniques can be a instant cure; understand permanent cure for all kinds of mental disorders at any level.
Please understand when I am uttering all these words I am talking very responsibly. I know I am addressing some of the major serious issues and problems modern day humanity is facing. So naturally I won’t make casual irresponsible statements. I am not a marketing agent for some pharmacy company to make any statement any advertisement and sell the product. NO. I am here to help the humanity honestly. With all my integrity and honesty I tell you these Patanjali’s techniques can get any human being out of any mental disorders, at any level, at any age, belong to any race, gender, color, country. Whatever words I uttered, I uttered from the strength of Patanjali’s teachings. Now one word I am adding with my own strength ‘instantly’. That word I am adding from my strength. Any human being any mental disorder can be cured at any level at any age. This statement I am making with Patanjali’s strength. I am adding one word ‘instantly’ from my own strength. I know how to make these techniques work instantly for the modern day human beings. From that strength I am adding the word instantly.
Let me enter into the sutras. Bahya abhyantara stamba vrittih desha kala sankhyabhih paridrishtah dirgha sukshmah. Nobody can, nobody can use so minimal words and not to miss even one small instruction like Patanjali. If you use too minimal words you will miss some instruction. If you don’t miss any instruction you will be using too much of words. But Patanjali is the ultimate combination of minimal words and never missing single instruction. He is showing his ability to use minimal words and giving all instructions properly in this sutra.
Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as its modifications are three fold namely external internal and motionless. They are regulated by place time and number and further they are either long or short. Swami Prabhavananda translates this sutra as the breath may be stopped externally or internally or checked in mid motion and regulated according to place, time and a fixed number of moments, so that the stoppage is either protracted or brief. Swami Sachidananda translates as the modifications of life breath are either external internal or stationary. They are to be regulated by space, time and number and are either long or short.
I will try to translate. I think this whole today’s session I will just translate this sutra. Because just the translation you can make at least one hundred technique from this translation; One hundred pranayama techniques. Still I am not able to get the right word for the pranayama; English word. The close word can be life breath. I will use the word life breath roughly to translate pranayama. Bahya abhyantara stamba vrittih desha kala sankhyabhih paridrishtah dirgha sukshmah. God! Maybe I will take three days to explain this sutra. Don’t bother if you don’t understand completely because you may have to see all three sessions together only then you will understand. I will explain the first part today. Bahya abhyantara stamba vrittih.
You see as on now how you breathe should be understood by you. Your body is like a desert filled with sand. Any air movement happens in your body; see in the desert if any air flow breeze or the wind happens what will happen? All the dust will be lifted by the air and the whole wind become dusty, full of sand. Same way ordinary body is filled with so much of bio memory. It’s like a desert. If too much of bio memory is there, nobody can live. Any air movement…. immediately what happens…. in that wind all this dust is lifted. So the breathing by its nature awakens too many thoughts and engrams and makes you restless, unfulfilled. Now what is the way that air should not awaken the dust and get contaminated? Either all the sand should become a stone or it should become ocean. That’s the only way. Either all your bio memories should become stone; means dead once for all. It cannot be awakened by the breeze at all. See on the huge rocks if the air flows what will happen? Neither the sand will be raised nor the air will be impure. The air will be pure. Very important thing please understand. The sand and the air when they mix together both are corrupted. When the bio memory and your life breath when they are mixed together both are corrupted. If breathing happens without provoking thoughts in your inner space you are enlightened. That is what I call pranayamaha; Breathing happening without provoking thoughts.
I am actually trying to do my breathing in all your bodies because now I am breathing without having any thought; no thoughts are provoked in me but I am breathing. One fortunate thing is this breathing is contagious. If you sit with this breathing in my breathing space, slowly, slowly your breathing also catches this. This is what I call becoming ocean. See if you don’t want the air to be contaminated by the sand, either become a rock or become a ocean. Becoming rock means by your own sadhana, unclutching and integrating yourself; so no thought during breathing. That’s one method. Second if you think, no, when can sand become stone by my practice or at least be one with the ocean; just go and become one with the ocean. That’s what surrendering to God. So naturally if you become ocean the air will not have sand. It will not lift sand, it will not get contaminated.
There’s a third thing. Neither you need to become rock nor you need to go and surrender to the ocean. Suddenly a river will start flowing over you. That is what I call grace, compassion of the Master. When the river starts flowing over you neither without your effort to unclutch nor your effort to surrender; even surrender is kind of a effort. Nothing is required. Your breathing has become pure. Masters presence is like a river. When you sit in somebody’s breathing space whose breathing does not create thought in his body, your breathing also changes and your breathing also stops creating thoughts in your body, in your bio memory.
I can see very clearly this prana is going through my nostril and it is going, taking a turn near my ajna and whatever portion came in it is just absorbed and goes all over the body as samana and whatever amount of air is required to go out so that the pumping can happen, for that reason certain amount of air is sent out. But I am not seeing any difference between the air which goes inside, the air which comes outside; any chemical change any difference. Usually the science says the air which goes inside has more oxygen, air which comes out has more carbon dioxide, the oxygen is absorbed inside. But I am seeing clearly at least in my body chemically I don’t see difference between this two. Maybe we will do some scientific research because I am not seeing difference chemically. Only in the level of prana the process is happening.
So whenever the air goes in and comes out without creating any thought it is pranayamaha. So if you sit in the breathing space of a person who breathes in that way, your breathing also changes because your bio memory is intelligent. Please understand if you like somebody’s body language you don’t need to learn his body language step by step, word by word; just like that you will pick up. You will just do what he does. You will just do what he does. Please understand body language which is able to inspire many people’s bio memory automatically to follow its expression is what I call charisma. Charisma has nothing to do with being beautiful or handsome or any measurement. See some of these celebrities, they don’t have what you call as being handsome and beautiful and all that. But their body language has something; simply which makes people follow. That is what is charisma. But understand, if you follow somebody’s body language who is not complete in himself, you are entering into most dangerous zone. Do not follow somebody’s body language who is not complete.
I think the best way to explain this sutra is to give you experience. But for the sake of future and posterity I will talk about this sutra also, explain also. I will give you a straight instruction how to breathe without creating a thought. Sit in a very comfortable posture the first thing. Second just observe the breathing movement. Whenever the, you get a thought other than the breathing action, stop the breathing then and there; whether you are in the process of inhaling or holding or exhaling; whatever may be the cycle happening in you. Please understand the moment you see a thought is happening other than the breathing process, see a thought like oh I am inhaling, I am holding, I am exhaling, that is allowed. Any thought other than the breathing process starts, stop the breathing immediately. You will see the thought will disappear. Then again allow the breathing process. Again when the thought starts, stop. I can say this is one of the most powerful pranayama process; very powerful pranayama process I can give you. May be today I will stop with this one pranayama technique. I will continue on this same sutra deeper and deeper for next two three days because this whole thing cannot be translated and given in one session.
So the essence of first part of this sutra is, whether the breathing movement is outside or inside or happening….. Please understand outside means lungs are empty, air is outside. That is what I call outside. Inside means lungs are full, air is inside. That is what I call antara, inside. Between means the air movement is happening between the outside and inside. Whatever maybe the situation the moment you have a thought, stop it! This can be a very powerful instant technique for pranayama. But I will give you more and more deeper and deeper techniques in further satsangs. Today I will stop with this.
May be you can all just sit for few minutes to catch up this breathing without thinking. Just sit, sit in padmasana or vajrasana and samana mudra. Try, try to sit in padmasana. You don’t need to do anything. Just sit in padmasana and samana mudra . You don’t even need to close your eyes. Like a infection now you will catch this breathing without thinking. You don’t need to try to control your thinking. You can even keep your eyes open. You don’t need to do any technique. No need for any technique. I am just going to chant the beeja of prana. Prana beeja is yam. Yam is the beeja of the pranic energy; the air energy vayu deva.
Let the prana without thinking happen in all of you. Let the breathing without thinking happen in all of you. Remember only the breathing action happening in you. Inhaling is happening. Exhaling is happening. Holding is happening; just breathing action.
Yammmmmmm Ommmmmmmm Yammmmmmm
Thoughts are dust. Breathing is breeze. Let your body have breeze without dust. Let it have breeze without dust. Let your breathing be without thinking. Let the pure energy rotate in you as breathing. Let the pure energy flow in you as breathing. OmmmmYammmmmm Ommmmmmyammmmmmm ommmmmmyammmmmmm
Let the pure breathing happen in your nadis, pure breathing without thinking, pure breathing without thoughts. Let the time stand still.
Yammmmmmmm yammmmmmmmm yammmmmmmmm
Pure breathing without thinking…….. no sound any physical movement is ok but don’t allow sound because through sound the energy will leave your body. Physical movements are ok. No sound.
ommmmmmmmm yammmmmm ommmmmm yammmmmmm yammmmmmmmm ommmmmmmmmyammmmmm ommmmmmyammmmmm ommmmmmm yammmmmm
Pure breathing without thoughts……
I bless you all to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss Nithyananda. Thank you. 45:58
PYS 101 Pranayama Technique for Kundalini Awakening
DATE: January 23rd 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 38:29
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. Today I will continue on the same sutra Patanjali’s yoga sutra, 101st sutra in second chapter 50th verse; Bahya abhyantara stamba vrittih desha kala sankhyabhih paridrishtah dirgha sukshmah. Whatever may be the movement of the prana, whether air is going external or is outward, please understand when your lungs are empty it’s called bahya. Abhyantara, when your lungs are filled its internal, inward. Whether it is external or internal or suspended, it is just standing without any movement, whatever may be the spot, whatever may be the time, whatever number of times you may need to stop, stop as much as you can to regulate the life breath. Still I have not translated this sutra perfectly. I tried.
Such vast, intense, rich, poetic, theological aphorisms; naturally cannot be translated. Vedic tradition is the first tradition which does theology in poetry. There are many religions which teaches theology but it will always be in prose. See, for J Krishnamurti it is very easy to teach theology; because British English. His one statement can be three page without comma, full stop, any stopping. Theology can be taught in prose. Sacred sentiments can be expressed in poetry. But Vedic tradition first time started doing something unique. In poetry they have started teaching theology. If you have not lost the quality of a poet, you are not corrupted by the violence of theology.
All theology is based on one sided understanding of truth. Please understand, all theology, when I say all I mean all. All theology is based on one sided understanding of the ultimate truth. Nothing wrong; only from one side understanding you can reach the ultimate. You can’t reach the ultimate as it is completely. Path has to be always from one side. Then when you reach the ultimate you know all theologies you practiced was by some tribes somewhere, even that has one dimension or one aspect of truth in them in it. You will realize that after enlightenment, after achieving the truth.
All theology is based on one dimension of truth. But the most unfortunate thing is the power of theology, the power of prose, makes you fanatic. Please understand, the more and more technical terms and the definition for technical terms gets into your head you will become fanatic. Lawyers feel there is nothing in the world except law. Doctors feel there is nothing in the world except the medical terminologies. That is the greatest thing in the world. Engineers feel in the whole world nothing except engineering exists. In any field, the prose, technical terms and the explanations for the technical terms makes you fanatic. It’s one of the most dangerous unfortunate thing happens to intellectual mind. The only quality I have is, my prose has not made me fanatic.
Please understand the technical knowledge you have should not make you think that is all is the world. In any field if you have technical knowledge, you think with that you can handle your whole life. NO. I have seen in my experience. If they just get one graduation or post graduation or doctorate in some subject in university, think that they know everything; they can handle all dimensions of their life just with that useless degrees and doctorates they got. I tell you I have done a research, studied; some of the major researches are showing. One university has studied all the gold medalists who come out of the university what happens to them. 87% of them are on the streets after 10year. Please understand 87% of gold medalists who come out of all major universities around the world are standing in the streets; means they have not created any career not achieved anything in the life; just useless, waste like their certificate and their gold medal; not gold medal actually gold plated medal. And in ten years that gold plating also goes away.
I want you to know, the technical knowledge in one area, if it makes you feel you know everything, you are in dangerous zone. You are in dangerous zone. Prose makes you fanatic. Fanaticism does two thing; either it makes you violent towards others or it makes you ignorant about your own life; other dimensions of your own life. Two major dangers fanaticism creates is you become violent, intolerant towards other ideologies, other ideas and you become ignorant towards other dimensions of life. I have seen how people suffer. Just because you learnt how to be a police, don’t think you know life. Just because you learnt how to be a doctor, don’t think you know life. Just because you learnt how to be a lawyer, don’t think you learnt life; doesn’t work, doesn’t work everywhere.
But the danger of technical knowledge makes you fanatic and ignorant. Having a technical knowledge in one aspect of life or one dimension of life and due to the fanaticism and ignorance, not looking at the other aspects of life is what I call atheism. Atheism is not something to do with accepting the existence of God or not. Atheism is not looking at the all dimensions of life as it exists; being fanatic about the technical knowledge which you got and fanatically ignorant. Deciding to be ignorant, deciding to be consciously ignorant of other dimensions and aspects of life just because of the arrogance and ego fulfillment which comes by the technical knowledge of one dimension of life; that’s what I define as atheism.
Why do Vedic masters teach theology in poetry? If you remain as poet you have not become violent, you have not become fanatic. The prose has not made you fanatic. Prose has not made you violent. The technical knowledge of one dimension has not made you consciously ignorant about other dimensions of life. You can see Shankara when he writes Brahma sutra Bhashya, commentary on the aphorisms on existence, his power of theology, theology is nothing but playing with words. See the unfortunate thing is the prose makes you fanatic; does not let you look at all other dimension, aspects of truth. But if you see Shankara, greatest theologian, when he talks, when he writes his commentary on aphorisms on existence, Brahma Sutra bhashya; I already started brushing Brahma Sutra Bashya because from March 2nd we will have Brahma Sutra Bashya. We will have morning yoga sutra, evening Brahma sutra; the real combination of Yoga Vedanta. After I complete the Patanjali yoga sutra, every day morning I will start on Hatha Yoga sutras. So morning yoga, evening vedanta.
What a extraordinary brain; even the subtlest concepts how he is able to make people understand and how he is able to differentiate between one word and the other word. But he has not lost his grace of poetry. Next moment he can sing Bhaja Govindam Bhaja Govindam Bhaja Mooda made samprapte sannihite kaale nahi nahi rakshate tukrunja karane. tukrunja karana is the vyakarana a grammar which you need to know to understand all the prose. He says that grammar will not help you when death comes to you. He is an amazing poet and extraordinary theologian, master of theology and master of poetry; rare combination. Only an enlightened being can radiate both qualities; the grace of poetry and the depth of theology.
Here Patanjali expresses both the grace of poetry and depth of theology. Both he is using to express techniques. That is the great thing. It is not even just a technical knowledge, technique. See in technical knowledge if you miss one or two words it is not dangerous. But in technique if you miss one or two words it is dangerous because you don’t know whether to inhale through right nose or left nose or through the eyes or the... what will happen? Whether to blow through the nose or through the mouth; because this one or two mistakes misunderstandings can lead to any amount of confusion; but it will not be telling exactly what Patanjali wants to tell. Organizing capacity does not mean the honest spiritual experience is being transmitted. Understand; learn to differentiate the difference between this two.
Some body may be having huge organization. That does not mean they are able to tell the truth to the world as it is. Especially never learn technical knowledge from somebody who cannot give the experience without technique. Please understand to check the ability of a master is, he should be able to transmit the experience without technique. Then go for technical knowledge and technique from him. At least to few people he should be able to transmit experience without any technique. Then he has a capacity to give you the technical knowledge and technique. Otherwise it is most dangerous receiving technical knowledge or technique from a person who has not completely experienced all the dimensions.
Bahya abhyantara stamba vrittih desha kala sankhyabhih paridrishtah dirgha sukshmah. I will give you the deeper understanding of this same sutra. But I will continue to speak on the same sutra again tomorrow also because in one session you can’t express whatever Patanjali wants to tell through this sutra. When you look at this sutra from different, different dimension different, different angle different, different meanings and different, different technical knowledge, techniques will be revealed. I wanted to reveal as many things as possible so that you will have a comprehensive idea for your practice. Please understand I am talking on this, expanding on this book, on these sacred secrets for posterity; so that this technical knowledge and techniques are not lost. Sacred secrets are the right word for Patanjali’s yoga sutras. I think Patanjali’s yoga sutras and Hatha yoga sutras; these two books I will name it as sacred secrets, most sacred but powerful secrets. 23:27 Understand the one more dimension of this sutra. Whether your breathing is going inward or staying inside or coming outward or staying outside; whatever may be the breathing movement, whatever may be the time and spot, wherever it may be; most hot place of the world or most cold place of the world, place where the oxygen is available plenty or place where there is no oxygen, whatever may be the place, whatever may be the time, whatever may be the action you are doing, you may be eating, you may be sitting, you may be standing, you may be walking, you may be enjoying some pleasures, you may be going through some pain; whatever may be, whether it is the mood of pain or pleasure, the life of joy or depression, whatever may be the situation, again and again and again whenever you see thoughts are being awakened, created by the breathing flow, stop it!! Stop the breathing; not using the hands, just using the will. This is what I call pranayama.
Please understand now there are so many questions. How to? What will happen if I stop my breathing? Will I not die? You will not. Don’t worry. You will not die that easily and liberate the world. So don’t have that fear. Relax! World has lot to suffer by you and you have lot to suffer by world. So don’t have the fear that, that easily you will die. No. One guy came and just few days before met me and said Swamiji my wife is constantly telling me she will commit suicide, commit suicide. I said then be careful. Don’t keep sharp objects in the house like knife. Don’t allow any rat poison and all in the house. He said no, no Swamiji I supplied everything. Will she die? No, really, he told me I brought everything and kept the stock in the house; thick rope, all variety poisons, all kinds of knives. So don’t have fear you will not die.
Actually when you use the will and stop the breath at the most what will happen? After a limit, automatically your will, will lose its power and body will start breathing. That’s it. Again when you remember stop; means when your logic is able to control the body, stop! It’s a very powerful technique. It can lead you to mano nasha, cessation of mind. Nasha is not a perfect word; no other way, let us use it. In Sanskrit nasha means complete destruction. But you don’t need to have destruction of mind. You need to have cessation of mind. Cessation and destruction are totally different. End of mind. Please understand mind vibrates in certain frequency so it should end being vibrating in that frequency and just shift to a different frequency. That’s all we want. That’s what I call cessation of mind; cease to exist in that frequency; not destruction. Nasha is not the right word. Your mind needs to cease to exist in the frequency in which it is existing now. For that this is the technique.
Whenever you remember, whenever you can, any number of time you can do. Whatever maybe the breathing except the thought you are breathing; you see you are breathing. That breathing movement will create a certain thought; I am breathing, going in, coming out. Those thoughts are allowed. Other than that any thought stop the breathing. This is what I call surrendering to prana; surrendering to the energy, pranic energy. Except the thought of prana everything else is surrendered to prana. The surrendering to prana straight away leads to savikalpa samadhi. Naturally from savikalpa samadhi you will melt down into nirvikalpa samadhi.
Please understand it’s a technique. I don’t want to add more and more words because you will miss the technique. You will miss the technique if you add more and more words. I have seen people go to some functions, festivals, marriages. They see all the decoration and finally miss seeing the bride and bridegroom. No really it happens. They will remember all the decorations, everything around. They will just miss seeing bride and bridegroom, eat and come back. It’s like you go to hospital and see everything and see the doctor also but forget to discuss your disease with the doctor and come away; because of the glory of the structure. With lawyers also same thing happens. People go to lawyers and forget the topic they need to discuss and come back; because lawyers are very intelligent. They talk only what they want to talk. And they are very intelligent. They can twist all your topic, subject everything and the conversation will go somewhere. After you come back only you will realize oh you went for discussing this subject and you completely forgot.
I don’t want to use more and more words. I will give you the exact technique. Whatever may be the time or space, whatever may be the action of breathing, whether going in or staying in or coming out or staying out, whatever may be, the moment breathing creates thought in you, stop it! After few moments automatically it will be released. When you remember again, again stop it. I can say this is one of the most sacred secret to achieve enlightenment. This is a technique for instant enlightenment, instant kundalini awakening. If you work on this technique sincerely two three hours enough, it can awaken your kundalini. When I say I mean. Two three hours when I say, I mean chronological two three hours what you understand as two three hours, the calendar and the calculating mechanism or the clock which you use; I am not talking from my space.
Somebody goes to temple and prays to God. God what it is million dollar for you? God says what, its one paisa. What it is thousand years for you? EH he says what, it is just one second. Then this fellow says Oh God then why don’t you give me million dollar. God said wait for two seconds. So I am not talking from that language. NO. I am talking from your language. Just few hours, even two three hours if you work on this technique sincerely, it’s not impossible. It is possible. I will discuss tomorrow; because if I discuss everything in one session you will miss it. You will not practice it. I will reveal the deeper layer of sacred secret hidden in this sutra tomorrow, the next satsang.
This technique of instant enlightenment will really be powerful and help you to experience kundalini awakening. Whoever is feeling you need to awaken your kundalini, try this technique. But don’t use hands or anything else to stop your breathing. That is dangerous. No. Some time people use corks. NO. Don’t do all that. Use only your will power, so that when you go beyond the limit automatically your will, will lose its power and you will start inhaling and exhaling. You will start breathing. You will not die. You will have your balanced body. So when you are balanced again, if the thoughts are rising, stop! Stop the breathing; that’s it. So no thought only breathing is what I call Jeevan Mukti.
I bless you all to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you. 38:14
PYS 101 Pranayama for Gradual Kundalini Aakening

Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. Let me enter into the same sutra, 101st sutra, the second chapter 50th verse. I am going to give you the one more deeper level secret of this sutra Bahya abhyantara stamba vrittih desha kala sankhyabhih paridrishtah dirgha sukshmah.
Yesterday I was telling, breathing is going in or staying in, coming out or staying out, whatever may be the time or spot, if it creates a thought in your bio memory stop it. Now I am giving you another one meaning by translating the last three words paridrishtah dirgha sukshmah. These three words can be understood in another one angle, another one dimension. So you can have another one technique. See yesterday what I gave is the technique for instant enlightenment. If you try that for few hours continuously and you feel you are not able to do, then the next interpretation for you, next technique for you, don’t stop the breathing, at least elongate.
Please understand no need to stop, at least elongate. Whether it is inhaling or holding or exhaling or holding out, whatever may be the time or the space, whenever you remember a thought is created by the breathing, elongate the breathing process. Please understand yesterday’s technique is a technique for sudden enlightenment. Today’s technique is technique for gradual enlightenment. In sudden enlightenment the plus point is it is instant; appealing to the western mind. But the negative point is if your body is not ready the failure, will lead to frustration. With the gradual enlightenment techniques the positive point is sure shot, 100%, everybody will have it. Negative point is takes time; need to work, work; Bharatn psyche, for years they will have patience to work with the same thing.
Why do you think I became so popular in the west? Because my techniques are instant; because western mind does not have patience. What about western mind Bharatns also now have western mind only; they will be physically Bharatns; Bharatn body western mind; IBWM. That’s the truth. You see people have lost patience. I should not use the word western and eastern anymore; modern and ancient, that’s the right word. Modern world the whole thing is western. The modern mind is not ready for long term practices. It wants instant, quick. All my techniques and methods are instant. That’s a reason I have become so popular all over the world.
Please understand modern mind does not have patience to practice certain technique for more than one week or ten days. Then they say come on lets go to next guru. After all.... is there a just chuk chuk chuk type guru; something like 11million websites are opened. Please understand 11 million you just type the word gurus. I was studying other day. We crossed 10 million views in YouTube. Still among the gurus our YouTube site is the leading site. Still we are leading. Few months before we were one of the leading, now I am seeing we are leading. I am surprised, anyhow.
The reason I was saying why I have become so popular in such a short time. Our YouTube channel is not professionally maintained. It’s like a casual home grown pumpkin, potato, garage sale. See our whole organization is a garage sale organization. We don’t have a huge shop or franchise store, marketing department, no. Just grow in our back yard we put it in the front yard and sell it. How much? Ehh it is 40 cent, you give what you want. You say no, no, no one corner is not fully color. Color is dull. I think if I cut it and see, it maybe little unriped inside. I say alright give 30 cent. Take it. Its complete home grown. But homegrown has its own beauty of purity and rawness. We are completely home grown and put in the front yard and sold.
7;28 You see our YouTube, you will not see anyway organized. At least our new website is a little decent; cleaned garage that’s it. See in the US and all they will have garage sale. Whatever is not useful in the house and whatever is homegrown or they will put it in the garage and sell; 2 dollar 3 dollar 10 dollar 5 dollar and we are doing garage sale only. Now after this much of experience and being beaten and all that, our website now shows like a cleaned garage, nothing else. We have cleaned our garage and wiped it. So that people can come and stay there for two three minutes without having too much smell of that grease and all that; the usual garage smell, without having that they can stay there for two three minutes and take what they want and that’s it, nothing else.
It’s the power of the message, strength of the message alone I am standing. And you idiots have done so much of negative marketing and nothing works. Come on see still I have 1000s of people sitting in front of me to listen to something which I come out from the morning and blah, blah, blah. All over the world human beings have all emotions. They have the lowest emotions of enjoying, peeping into somebody’s bedroom, cerebral enjoyment. And same way all over the world all human beings have the tendency of seeking the answers for the highest truths of life, seeking the highest experiences of the life. So naturally human beings have the animal part and God part; both.
When you read this kind of material you get kind of a kick, excitement. So these third rate cheap fellows read this kind of magazines just for that kick, keeping inside their school note book syllabus. I have seen these college boys, when I was in college I have seen these college boys, they will bring all these kind of magazines, keep inside the note book and read. Because they know if somebody sees they are reading this kind of books means they will lose respect for them. So that is tabloid mind.
There is another one group of people who awaken the highest experiences in human mind and make life out of it; the enlightened beings. We survive by kindling the highest emotions and consciousness experiences in human beings. My survival is good for the human consciousness. Understand if my business grows its good for human beings. If tabloid journals business grows it is bad for human consciousness. The reason is the emotion which you kindle in human beings only stays in human beings for 15 minutes; that also with all kinds of medicines, all tablets and medicines; not otherwise. The emotion I kindle in human beings stays in them permanently forever. My part is 23 hours and 45 minute. Your part is only 15 minutes. So naturally you cannot destroy me. You cannot destroy me.
You are symbol of emotion which stays only for few minutes I am symbol of emotion which stays forever and eternally. I am NITHYA you are anithya. Who are trying to destroy us with so much of marketing department are not able to, are not able to. They will tell their subordinates no, no, don’t leave this one, finish him off, write whatever you want and secretly watching the discourses. He is intelligent. He helps people. Anyhow let’s come to the technique. See like this only. I am not talking anything much spiritual. I come out and sit and tell something I want. From all over the world people are sitting and waiting. The emotions they create stays on human body only for 15 minute, maximum. But the impact I create on human consciousness, the experience I kindle on human consciousness stays forever and ever and ever and ever.
Understand just yesterday Dr Krishna Rao was giving the report. He came to NSP and presented all his research report, study report. He says there is no technique or exercise or medicine in the world to increase the energy of the mitochondria. You can only maintain. You can maintain; maybe little bit you can expand with whatever you have, but never exploding in the proportion like 13 times. He says it is straight technique for anti aging. So understand not only I am going to live long, I am going to create millions of people who will live long.
By translating this word paridrishtah dirgha sukshmah in a different way I wanted you to understand one more technique. Not only stopping, elongating; elongate the breathing if you are not able to stop. Elongating or regulating; I wanted you to understand elongating always regulates as far as the breathing is concerned. So try your best to elongate. Inhaling, holding or exhaling or holding out; at any time, any spot, whenever you remember, try to elongate. You will experience enlightenment.
I bless you all to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss Nithyananda. Thank you. 15:51
Nithyananda answers on Dream and Vision

Sadashiva samarambham; Shankaracharya madhyamaam
Asmathacharya pariyantaam: Vande guruparamparaam
I welcome you all with my love and respects. Before entering into the today's subject satsang, I'll answer the questions related to the last satsang’s discourses, from the satsang centres. As you are aware, in hundreds of cities all over the world, thousands of people are watching the satsang live every day. The number is exploding, that’s the right word I have to use, every Day! And I really feel as if just now I started my mission.
Here is a question. I am getting lot of questions. Every day I will attend and answer at least few. This is a question from Redondo Beach satsang centre, Redondo Beach satsang centre, from Vinnie Ocean. Oh! Beach satsang centre and Ocean name okay. Vinnie Ocean from the Redondo Beach satsang centre: "Most Beloved Swamiji, within days of finding you on the YouTube, I had a dream about you. You were sitting on my bedside performing healing on my abdomen, which is the exact place I needed healing. You were wearing your bright saffron robe. I felt lot of gratitude, but at the same time I wondered if it was my imagination. The following night I had a similar dream about you. I know it was not my imagination.”
I always tell you, the scale to find out whether what you are having is a imagination or a vision. If you see in multicolour, it is vision; if you see; if you are able to remember the experience only in black and white then it is dream. When you say you were wearing your bright saffron robe, when you are able to see the colour of my robe, be very clear it is a vision, it is not dream.
"I thought WOW!! I did not even ask for a healing and Swamiji is already taking care of me."
When you have a strong feeling connection, you don't need to ask me. Please understand. And I don't even need to think I should help you. There is very beautiful verse by Ramana Maharshi on Arunachala, “kelaada alliikkummunnn kedil poogalaii: kedasaiiyade arull arunachala” The grace and compassion you have and the name and fame you have, says you always give before asked, without even asking. “kelaada allikkumunn, kedil poogalaii” everybody says and the whole world knows you have a name of giving without even asking. Don't destroy your name. Give me what I am supposed to be receiving. “kelaada alliikkummunnn kedil poogalaii kedasaiiyade arull arunachala” Don't destroy your name by yourself. Better let you grace me.
Actually when your feeling connection is in the being level, those are fortunate; I am no way involved directly. Please understand if the feeling connection is strong, I am not even necessary. Not only, I am no way involved, I am not necessary. It just happens. If you connect with me in the level of words, then I am your teacher. Then you will…. you have to ask what you want, then I'll give you the solution or technique. You may need to practise that; then you will have the relief. If you connect with me through Bhakti: emotion, then when you ask, then I'll say alright it will be done, it will be done!! If you connect to me through Being, means you have not even seen me physically, you have never been around me physically, you never heard any stories about me, just suddenly some connection awakening, then you don't need to even ask me, it is… the relationship is totally different.
If you connect with me verbally, more like a Teacher-Student relationship. If you connect with me emotionally through bhakti, it will be like a Guru-Disciple relationship. If you connect with the being level, then it becomes God-Devotee relationship. Fortunate blessed are those who experienced God and devotee relationship. Vinnie Ocean, you are fortunate to experience that highest relationship. So when you are awakened to that highest relationship, you don't even, you don't even need to ask me. The God which is functioning in this body automatically answers. He takes care of that. It's like a three different department for me; the Teacher department, Guru department, God department.
God department is always in automated mechanism and rarely I interfere in that. Mostly, I play the game of this Guru-Disciple mechanism and very less the Teacher-Student mechanism. The Teacher-Student mechanism may be 20% of my job time and 80% Guru-Disciple mechanism. And as far as the God-Devotee mechanism, it is automated. I don’t need to attend that at all. I don’t need to spend much time on it. I don't need to attend to it, as it is an independent intelligence. If I need, some time I can interfere, but other than that it has its own simple intelligence. It runs by itself.
Vinnie Ocean, you are fortunate to connect with that third dimension. So I tell you I don’t even need to tell you. Simply you will know in few days you will be completely healed. And not only that, anybody who have a stomach problem, abdomen problem, you put your hand on their abdomen, stomach, they will be healed; because, you got the healing not by any physical ordinary method. It has happened to you as a spiritual experience of Devotee-God relationship, so naturally your bio memory is now intelligent enough, solid enough, strong enough to radiate the same healing to somebody else who has the same problem.
So here he is saying, "I would officially asking for assistant your assistance Swamiji in restoring total health in my abdomen. I have a few tumours which I believe can be dissolved with your grace and compassion. Please guide me through this."
Just find out how many tumours are…Within that many days, it will all be dissolved. That’s it, nothing else is required. I don't need to interfere at all. Understand, actually it is your greatness you even need to mention this to me and you attribute that miracle to me. Even if you don't attribute this to me, it will happen on you. You will be healed. But the gratitude which you may experience, may make you at ..attribute that towards me. That is different. But even if you don't ask me officially, it will be healed. Anyhow, now because you asked officially, I'll answer you officially. You will be healed within few days.
And the next statement," I have a great deal of love for you Swamiji, no matter what." This is... this statement is the key statement in the whole letter. This statement is responsible for your God-devotee relationship. Here you end. Finally whether it gets heals or not, I don't care, I surrender! I can say that this statement gives you the right, not only to get healed, to heal anybody who has abdomen problem. Anybody whom you find has an abdomen problem, put your hand on their stomach and heal them. Tell them, just I am helping you. I am praying for you. Nothing else and you don’t need for, pray to towards anybody, anything. Just remember that dream or I can say vision you had. Just remember the vision you had and the mood you felt when you had the vision on your stomach. Just remember that and put your hand on anybody who has abdomen problem, their abdomen, you will see, they will be healed. Now you will become abdomen specialist!!
Next, question from UK satsang center: "Swamiji, Nithyanadam Swamiji, my sincere and humble salutations to you, my atma guru. My name is, just dot dot dot, waiting to be named spiritually by you, my guru. And the name given by my parents are Shanmugasundaram. I am currently from Milton Keynes, UK and originally from the spiritual grounds of Pondicherry, Bharat. I got a query on today's satsang on pranayama. In Shiva sutra you explained that we should meditate on kumbakha, the energy point between inhalation and exhalation. I can do this only when I am in the presence, during meditation. And when I exercise my breathing, when I slip into the deep mode, I forget my breathing. The breathing becomes too shallow and hardly recognise, realise whether I am breathing or not. The silence experienced at this stage is completely different to the one done with presence. Today you have defined breathing is not simply inhalation and exhalation of air, but the actual intake of prana. Does this means even when I slip into the mediation and forget myself, do I still intake the required prana? Also could you please shed some more light on prana? I used to think that is oxygen which is in the air. Please pardon my ignorance. Now I realise that it is something more subtle. Could you please explain a bit more on this? Ever in your service, Shan.
I'll completely demystify the truths of prana. That will solve all these questions. Please understand prana is a kind of a vibration which goes inside along with your breathing the air. And that vibrations stays inside you and continues to add more vibration, frequency to the life energy. And that air comes out. That is the exact science. And few more things you may need to know about this whole movement, even while you feel that breathing has stopped, still during the deep restful awareness or meditation, the prana continues to go in and comes out. You can see Bharatn yogis who have mastered the prana process, independent of breathing. They bury their head and they breathe through the leg. During kumbha mela the naga sadhus, agori sadhus, they do this. They bury their head for thirty days and no food, nothing. Through leg they breathe. But you can see their finger tips inhaling and exhaling. That nails will be....The gap of the nails will be receiving the prana and taking the...releasing the prana. So understand, inhaling and exhaling, the prana going in and coming out, independent of breathing.
I am trying to get the right word. Prana, life breath is independent of breathing. When you forget yourself in the meditation, prana going in and coming out actually increases; air going in and coming out may reduce, but the prana going in and settling increases. That’s the reason meditation rejuvenates you. If meditation is making you tired, understand, you are doing something seriously wrong. It should only rejuvenate you and it only rejuvenates you. It will only rejuvenate you. So understand Shanmugasundaram, the prana is independent of breathing."

Now let’s enter into the satsang. Today’s subject - "Breathe life into your Breath"; 102nd sutra in Patanjali Yoga Sutras and in 2nd chapter, 51st verse; the sutra means.... let me read the sutra, "BAHYA ABHYANTARA VISHAYA AKSHEPI CHATURTHAH".
The fourth is the restraining of the prana by directing it either to external or internal objects. This is the Swami Vivekananda's translation.
Swami Prabahavananada's translation is; the fourth kind of pranayama is the stoppage of the breath which is caused by concentration upon external internal objects.
Swami Satchidananda's translation is; there is a fourth kind of pranayama that occurs during concentration on an internal or external object.
This is a very powerful sutra."BAHYA ABHYANTARA VISHAYA AKSHEPI CHATURTHAH"; the awareness which you carry about you, if it gets centred on something whether internal or external. Means on any chakras if it gets centred, it is called internal or any object in the mind, it’s called internal. If it gets centred on external, some outside object, because of that awareness getting centred, if the breathing stops that is the fourth kind of pranayama. I can say it is one of the ultimate pranayama; fourth stage of pranayama. Only after this step we can enter into the next steps of yoga, next parts or angas of ashtanga.
Please understand the first level pranayama is just regulating the four actions, four flow: going in, staying in, coming out, staying out. The second stage of pranayama is elongating. I can say the second stage; I am putting it now serially. Elongating that four stages. The third stage of pranayama is stopping in any one of that four stages. The fourth stage of pranayama is because of being centred in some object internally or externally, if your breathing stops, that is what is fourth. That is what is fourth.
"BAHYA ABHYANTARA VISHAYA AKSHEPI CHATURTHAH". Outward, inward object, experience or idea, all these things can be called as vishaya. Whether.... see, if it is external it can be called as object. If it is internal you cannot call it as object. It can only be an experience or thought or an idea. So being centred either on external or on internal object can lead to the stoppage of air movement, can lead to just prana going in and settling into your system. This is the fourth stage of pranayama. Please understand, concentrating on external object or internal object, because of that your, if your breathing sto...movement stop, you will experience the stage of breathing without thinking. Breathing may, may not happen but your thinking will not be there. That stage you can say is one of the most powerful pranayama; the fourth stage of pranayama.
In this stage, you will be able create anything you want because all the materials are created out of prana. You will have access to that base material. It's like a.... if you have a clay, you can make anything which can be made in clay. Same way if you have a prana under your control, you can make anything you want, because everything is made out of prana. All the materials made out of prana can be made by you, if you achieve this state of stoppage of breath by being centred; your awareness being centred on something internally or externally.
But you need to understand, only till Indraloka pleasures can be made by prana. Beyond the Indraloka pleasures, the spiritual realms, those cannot... those things cannot be made by prana. But in this world whatever you want can be just like that made when the prana is under your control. Understand this sutra. Concentrate either some object external or some idea or experience internal. If your awareness is centred on that, breathing stops, only prana inflow happens, you achieved the fourth stage of pranayama. And extraordinary siddhis and powers are expressed through this achievement.
I bless you all to experience, live, express, radiate, share the Eternal Bliss, Nithyananda!!
Thank you.
Patanjali Yoga Sutras 103 Uncover Your Inner Light

Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my Love and Respects. Today's subject for satsang: ‘UNCOVER YOUR INNER LIGHT’. Today Patanjali is answering and giving solution for one of the major problems all seekers and human beings face in the life. It is 103rd sutra of Patanjali's Yoga Sutra's; in the 2nd chapter, 52nd verse."TATAH KSHIYATE PRAKASHA AVARANAM".
Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as: By that, the covering of the light of the Chita is attenuated.
Swami Prabhavananda translates as: As the result of this, the covering of the inner light is removed.
Swami Satchidananda translates as: As its result, the veil over the inner light is destroyed.
I'll try to give my translation. TATHA KSHIYATE PRAKASHA AVARANAM. This sutra is the continuation of yesterday's sutra. Patanjali says in the last sutra: the science of absorbing the prana, the life energy, directly, without any means or vehicles, unnecessary load on your system. If we can absorb the highest frequency inside your body without any thought, without thoughts being awakened, that is what Patanjali calls as PRANAYAMAH!!
Please understand. The whole purpose of paranayama is, breathe without thinking. Whenever there is a thinking, breathing is not complete. Breathing does not take energy inside. It takes only air, which is not really necessary to be inside your body. It is the energy which is basic requirement. The prana is the basic requirement. Because prana is mixed in the air, we take the air also. If there are more thoughts you will take more air less prana. If there are less thoughts, you will take; take, less air more prana. Please understand. It's like a vicious circle. If you take more prana, naturally less thoughts will be there. If you have less thoughts, you will take more prana or the other way, if you take less prana there will be more thoughts. If you have more thoughts, you will take less prana; this vicious circle continuously changing the consciousness of your being.
Please understand, if you achieve any stability or state of consciousness through yoga, it is stable but it takes lot of time. If you achieve any stability or any higher experience through pranayama, it is instant. Same way stabilising it takes lot of time. The right combination is 'Yoga-Vedanta'. Yoga Pranayama and Vedantic mental set up. Having a strong foundation of ethics and understanding about life‼ Please understand. When a kundalini energy is awakened in you by the masters presence or pranayama or some technique, if your mental set up is based on the eternal truths, for example what you think as life. If you think life is only the time you are going to live in this body, immediately the energy awakened in you will be drained. If you have the understanding, ‘AAH‼ Life is eternal, my identity with this body and mind will be constantly changing’. Just this simple understanding about life, the energy awakened will stay in you permanently. Please understand, this is what I call yogic body and vedic mind and eN life. I am changing it now; Yogic body-Vedic mind-eN life; having a mind which has deeper understandings about life. Life, Death, Fear, Desire: all these major concepts with which you design your life, you make the strategy planning for your life.
Again and again I have seen the hypocritic people, people who cheat, even if you awaken their kunadalini, it doesn’t stand in their system. I have seen people ask me just blowing you can awaken the kundalini, why don’t you do? Somehow that hypocritical mental set up, the mental set up with which people try to only cheat, not try to be centred inside their inner space, true to the truth. Please understand I wanted to address an important, very important problem today through this sutra; most of us in the name of practicality miss being true to the spiritual truths which you yourself click. There are so many hundreds of truths, it really clicks with your, with you, in your heart. But somehow in the name of practicality, some foolishness or ignorance you don’t stand true to it.
Just last few days I was reviewing the life of brahmacharis and brahmacharinis. I was sitting and going through what all they are doing, how they are growing, what is happening in their spiritual life? Not being responsible to the truth they them self believe, see for example there are few truths: "Enlightenment is the ultimate goal of life"," You need to continuously do spiritual practice and internalise spiritual truths"; if these truths does not even click with you, no problem. Then naturally you will live a so called normal life. Up and tip. Morning up, evening tip; night up, day tip; up and tip. You will live that life, no problem. It is like a regular rut. But the moment these great truths clicks with you, especially when you commit to be truthful to those great truths and enter into a infrastructure which is created for that, naturally now you take a different responsibility altogether. Your life is no more yours. You are dedicating that to some higher purpose.
Now the truths which has clicked with you, if you are not honest, true to it, naturally any experience awakened in you will be drained in few seconds; doesn't take more than few seconds. I have seen. I always tell this as a greatest danger seekers face. When you enter into a sanga you stop being honest to the truths and justifying it because somebody else also lives like that. Not being responsible for the truths which clicks with you or the life which you have assumed, which you have taken it upon yourself. See if you have taken some life upon yourself, suddenly you become responsible for that. A person who takes the life of a doctor becomes suddenly responsible for the patient. Person who takes the life of a seeker becomes responsible to be completely honest, truthful to the truths which clicks inside him.
Yogic body means intensely working and aligning your body to the highest peak of health. Vedic mind means intensely adding the deeper and deeper truths of life and establishing those truths as the basic pillar for planning your strategy about life. EN life means living those strategy in the life with responsibility. If you don't have eN life, we can be very sure you don’t have yogic body and vedic mind. One of the biggest problem seekers and ordinary people face is the low mood because of arrogance. Unable or not even unable, doesn't want to look into the problem; when you don't want to look into the problem, you enter into a kind of an arrogance which says, ‘okay, what is there? Any after effect I will face it’. But when it comes only you will understand, you will not be able to face it. The mind which says it will face will just escape and disappear. Dump you and disappear when you really have the problem.
I have seen people they think mentally, ‘ah! If this problem comes, I'll face it, if this problem comes, aah its okay I will face it what is there???’ Even one inch of that problem comes, they will not be there. The mind which said we will face it will not be there. Arrogance leads to hypocrisy, hypocrisy leads to cheating, cheating leads to cheating yourself; nothing else. Surrendering to your Satan, devil, surrendering to your own demonic tendencies; don't think demon means it will come with two big horns and big face, big moustache and will come and press your chest. NO!! Morning when you want to get up and go to the akhada, the mood which you feel, Ohh!! Today I can escape, and Swamiji is not there, I can cheat, if they ask I can say I am sick. THAT IS DEMON. The mind, the ideas which does not lets you to be honest to what you yourself believe or what has clicked with you, for what you have taken the responsibility, is demon. That is the straight thing leads to low mood and depression.
Yogic body means: squeezing the body and taking the tamas out of it. When you do an intense yoga, or do weight lifting, bend your body, the pain which happens in your system is because of the tamas. Understand not because of body. The amount of pain is directly related to the tamas you carry. Decide to squeeze the body; you will suddenly see the pain will not be there. Pain is just your decision and silent cooperation to your tamas; nothing else. So by the time you bend your body three times, four times, ‘OOOH I think....I think I have done too much. Who is watching, who is seeing, it okay’. Same way by the time you sit in the office and do some five minute, ten minute something here and there ‘let’s go and lie down in the room. Who is going to watch in this huge crowd?’ Nobody is going to watch. But who is going to fall into the ditch of depression? You; nobody else.
Not being honest to the truths which click with you is what I call "COVERING OF THE INNER LIGHT". See, if the truth has never clicked with you, no problem. If you never even believed once that enlightenment is the ultimate possibly in the life, that should be the goal and I am beyond body and mind, no problem. Then get out of this place and this place is not for you and this satsang is not for you, this spirituality is not for you. Then you run around, what you want to be doing. I have seen people doing that. Let them live as they want. No problem. At least you will not have a "sanga saaba". You will not have one more sin of "Guru droha".
When you take up these great truths as a responsibility of your life, understand, then suddenly your very necessity to exist changes. If you are a doctor in the society, your necessity to exist is curing some patients. If you are true to that necessity, that’s enough. If you are an engineer, your necessity to exist is just build some buildings, infrastructure. So if you do that that’s enough. Done! If you are a lawyer, your necessity to exist is defend the constitution, protect the people who are victimised by the police, so your necessity to exist if that is fulfilled, done!! No problem. But your necessity to exist, if that is not honoured, the inner light is covered. Life lived with the inner light covered is depression!!
Usually whenever people come to me with some disease, either I heal or I tell them to take up any other therapies required. Whatever I can heal I tell them, “I'll heal it. Don’t worry”. If I feel may be they need some therapies from outside, I tell them go and have that therapy also. See not having clicked with the higher truths is not sin. But having clicked with the higher truths but not being honest to those truths is the worst sin. Especially taking up a life, for example, you are an ordinary person, somebody comes to you and says he is having heart attack. If you don’t do anything to him, if you don't protect him, save him from heart attack, you are not a sinner because you don’t know. You have not taken the responsibility of a doctor. But if the same guy goes to the doctor and if the doctor does not try his best to save his life, it’s a sin! It is against the oath which he has taken; the hypocrisy oath. Just because of the responsibility you have taken, you are bound to live that truth honestly, to the extreme possibility. Just because of the truth has clicked and you have taken the life to honour the truth which has clicked with you, now it is your responsibility to be honest to those truths. Not being honest to that truths based on which you took the life is what I call, "covering of the inner light". That is what I call demon.
Sit and look in. Let everything boil down to few truths. Actually your whole life, why you are running, why you are functioning will boil down to few truths. So again and again be honest to those few truths. You will see the inner covering is removed. The inner covering being removed is the fruit of Pranayanmah!!; Means absorbing the pranic energy directly from the cosmos without breathing. Absorbing the pranic energy from the cosmos will lead to the uncovering of the inner light. Means, the mood swing will disappear. As long as have the mood swing, you are not being honest to the very understandings on which you built the life; you built the decisions of your life.
The only way is tear your body and mind and offer it, to fulfil those truths. It is tyaaga. Renunciation the only way, One and only way! Upanishads declare very clearly ‘tyaage naike amrutathvamaanasuhu’.They don't say, tyaaga is one path to achieve the eternity. NO. They say ‘tyaage naikye’ the only path to achieve the eternity. There is no shortcut. That shortest cut is straight line. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Shortest cut is straight forward path; nothing else. Tyaage naike amrutatva manashu. It is only the utter renunciation, honesty and integrity that can remove the mood swings and uncover the inner light.
Pranayamah; Breathing without thinking, the honest breathing without thinking. Please understand the word, ‘honest breathing’ means life movement happening in you with honesty to the truths you believe. You will not have any thoughts. Please understand thoughts are nothing but you trying to justify the life movements happening in you which is not honest and true to the truths you believe or click, clicked with you as life. Please understand. Any great truths which has clicked with you as a basic strategy for life, as a basic idea to run the life, if you are honest to it, you don’t need to have thoughts; look into yourself. If you are having thoughts to function, live your day to day life, you are deviating from the honest thoughts or the foundation on which you are building the life.
For example, if you pick up the basic truths which clicked in your life, on which you are building the foundations of your life, and living, being true to that foundation, you don’t need thoughts to run your day to day life. NO. You don't require thoughts to run your day to day life, including your job. Even if you are handling publication department where you need to write, you can just write without thinking. Whole day I am just speaking without thinking but everyday something new comes out. It's not that you are wondering, I am also wondering. Just because I built my very life on the honest truths which I believe and I am being completely honest to those truths. That is what I call, living as per the cosmic law! Living as per the cosmic law means: living with the honest truths on which you put your foundation.
If you feel, Oh God! There is no truth I honestly believe or click, then you are chandala. Better try to click first with some truth or, there is no or. Just try to work, dig out and click with some higher truths. If you compromise with those truths which has clicked with you for the sake of luxury and wealth, you are vaishya. If you compromise with those honest truths for the sake of power and name and fame, you are kshatriya. If you compromise those great, great, honest truths for no proper result or no proper reason, just foolish ignorance, you are fourth varna. If you don't compromise with that honest truth and live being established in it and there is no inner darkness, no depression, you are a brahmana. If you at least trying honestly to be truthful to those great truths, you are a seeker; but any moment you give up you are patita, fallen one!
The honest truths which clicked with you, on which you built your foundation, for which you took the responsibility of life, be established on it without hypocrisy, you will see thoughtless breathing will be happening in you. The direct absorption of prana will be happening in you. You can do it in two ways: either create vedic mind so that pranayama happens in you or create yogic body, pranayama will happen in you. As I said bend your bodies, squeeze the body and get the depression, get the laziness out of it. Put the extreme physical practices like intense surya namskars on your body. Of course don't destroy it. Don't have anger towards it. With the feeling of training it, making it better; then naturally you will no abuse it.
Create yogic body; you will have that eternal nithya strategy in your inner space for ananda life‼ If your strategy is based on the eternal truths, Nithya you will have Ananda in the life. Then again you will have the eN life because you will absorb the prana without breathing. If you are honest to the understanding clicked with you, whole day the sincerity: sincerity in your work, what you are doing; Responsibility: Feeling responsibility in the commitment which you took up, is a direct technique to absorb prana from the cosmos; breathing without thinking, taking prana in without breathing. If you have both the yogic body and the vedic mind, you will see very clearly eN life is happening. Yogic body Vedic mind eN living. Uncovering the inner light is achieved by the pranayama.
The Patanjali's word, TATHA KSHIYATE PRAKASHA AVARANAM; thereafter the veil, covering of the inner light disappears. Covering of the inner light, when it disappears, it is visibly seen even on your skin. Please understand even on your skin it is visibly seen as aura. It is very visibly seen. It may be very mystical but I tell you even a single, honest, eternal truth; eN sutra, clicks with your inner space, and you solve at least two three of your inner problems with that truth, with that shaastra shastra, immediately within those few minutes your auric energy expands. Every time you bring yourself to the centre and make yourself responsible, solve your inner space problems, the veil on the inner light is removed. What Patanjali calls as "kshiyate", removed tatha kshiyate prakasha avaranam; the veil which covers the inner truth is removed.
There is a beautiful work verse by great saint from Tamil Nadu, in his sacred sentiments, called Thiruvasagam. He sings, “Ooninayi urrikee, kolluli peraki". The exact translation of that word ‘by melting the body... shining that inner light’. What exactly Patanjali wants to tell, uncovering the inner light by melting the body. Create Yogic body, you will have Vedic mind and naturally eN living. Be honest and sincere to what you are doing.
The idea of productivity is not inserted into your system for any other purpose; for you to stand up again and again and again and verify the truths on which you are building your foundation and life. I have seen very clearly in my life the people who never think or bothered to be productive and responsible to the sanga were always lived in depression. They leave in depression and abuse the sanga; nothing else. That's why I am always say that I am afraid of people who don't take responsibility. So decide to surrender to the honest truths and the Master. Not to your own demon and devil which you carry inside. And the most dangerous part is you surrender to your own demon and devil and claim you surrender to the Master. GOD!!!
Absorbing prana into the system without breathing uncovers the veil of inner light and makes your inner light shine.
I bless you all to Achieve, Experience, Live, Express, Radiate and Share the Eternal Bliss, Nithyananda!
Thank you.
Patanjali Yoga Sutras 104 The Power of Your Mind
DATE: January 27th 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 26:32
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my Love and Respects. Again before entering into today's satsang, I wanted to remind all the devotees around the world who are sitting with us now live, please sit in padmasana and samana mudra. Sit in a deep restful awareness, in unclutched mood. Today's subject; ‘THE POWER OF YOUR MIND’, today we will be entering into the 104th sutra of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras; in the 2nd chapter, 53rd verse. ‘dharnasu cha yogyata manasah’ ‘dharnasu cha yogyata manasah’.
Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as: The mind becomes fit for dharana.
Swami Prabhavananda translates as: The mind gains the power of concentration.
Swami Satchidananda translates as: And the mind becomes fit for concentration.
And Osho translates this as: And then the mind becomes fit for concentration. But when Osho explains, he goes one step deeper and he says, “The word dharana means the capacity to contain, capacity to become womb, capacity to become a womb.”
Let me try to give my experience, my version of this great sutra, this great truth. dharnasu cha yogyata manasah. Now, after the inner covering is removed, after the veil which covers the inner light is removed your mind becomes capable, it becomes ready, it becomes fit to express all it carries inside. Please understand. From this sutra Patanjali is going to explain the extraordinary mystical dimensions of life. He is not just talking about physical health, mental health. NO. He is talking about now, extraordinary capabilities expressing through your body and mind. So he is taking us to a non return mystical zone. A zone where the mysticism is a living science, a lifestyle, way of living!
So, first you understand the laws of the life and you raise your coherence to the highest possible conscious coherence. Then balancing your body, preparing your muscle memory to radiate consciousness, then awakening the ability to absorb prana without breathing. Now your mind is ready to express whatever it carries in its womb. Please understand dharana means the capacity to express what it carries. It is not just concentration NO. For example, if you see the Bharatn farmers how they take the water to their crops. They’ll make a canal and they will cover it. When they need to send water to particular portion, only that portion that covering they will remove. Removing the covering does not mean just removing little bit of mud. It means flooding the water inside. Same way dharana does not mean just concentration of mind. NO. Opening up to release all it carries in itself in the seed form. So the word dharana need to be understood in a very deeper way. If you are able to absorb energy without breathing: breathing without thinking, the inner cover which covers your inner light, that veil is lifted, removed. Now your mind is capable of expressing all it carries in seed form in itself.
Your mind is everything! Please understand, your mind is everything. You do not know the powers of your mind. Your mind can just like that create any world you want. Just like how it creates any dreams it wants within few seconds, it can just put in different state of consciousness altogether within few seconds and show a different world in front of you. See how you are dreaming. All it takes is just two second and you fall into the dream. You fall into the unconscious state and you start dreaming.
Yesterday one of our brahmacharini was asking "Swamiji how do you raise us to such a high states just like that and awaken the kundalini?" For you to fall asleep and fall into the dream state how much time it takes? Just few seconds. See when you create an ambience; that low dim light, darkness and the body resting, cooperating for that sleeping mood, when you when your body cooperates and the ambience is right you fall asleep just in few seconds. Few second the mood changes and you express the dream world of which you wanted. Same way I create an ambience for you where your body is cooperating, steady, comfortable and ready to raise to the different level. Just push you into that level and your state of consciousness differs and the things you express differs. Through awakening the kundalini I push you into the different state of consciousness. Now if you understand the science little deeper, you can express whatever you want from your mind through dharana.
Please understand, understand the science of sleep; you will understand the science of dharana. What is sleeping? First you, your state of consciousness should become different; other than which you are now. It becomes almost dull, dull, dull, dull, dull; you become unaware of this body and slip into some state. After you slip in that state your mind enters into a kind of a negative dharana where it starts expressing whatever it wants. That is what is dream. Now, the same thing I am doing in the opposite direction. I am raising you to the highest states of awareness, altered states of consciousness. In that state if you consciously decide you can take out anything you want from your mind. Just like how when you fall into unconsciousness, you can project anything you want as dream and live. When you are raised to consciousness you can project anything you want and live. The science and ability to project anything you want and enjoy is dharana.
Please understand. The causal body where all engrams are stored, all possibilities of mind is stored is available to you when you fall asleep or when you raise to a higher state of consciousness. When you fall asleep because of your unconscious, some useless engrams comes out and you project something and see. That doesn't leave a big impact on your physical life; this plane. But when you raise your awareness, same causal body comes under your control. But anything you take out of causal body consciously becomes reality even in this plane. That is the difference between falling asleep and dreaming; and raising the awareness and projecting what you want to project; difference between sleeping and dharana. You may think if sleeping is useless then why should we enter into dharana? In sleeping and dreaming, when you come back, it doesn't leave you, leave a much big impact on your real life or what do you think as real life. But when you raise the consciousness through kundalini and awaken those dharana powers and come down, that creates a tremendous impact on your, whatever you call as real life.
Please understand. I am so happy just today morning I was contemplating on this sutra, I realised the greatness of this siddhas..... Patanjali... I am feeling they are taking us all through.... Whatever I am talking is becoming reality in this whole batch. When I spoke about this breathing without thinking, I saw hundreds around the world experiencing it. When I spoke about absorbing prana without breathing, I saw hundreds experiencing it. Now when I am talking about expressing capacities of your mind, I am seeing very clearly many of you are ready now to be pushed into the space of dharana and start expressing the powers of the mind, capacities of the mind. I am seeing very clearly, by the time I complete this techniques on dharana, at least few hundred will be experiencing these great powers like: materializing, teleporting or seeing the future, giving intense healing to peoples engrams itself. I am able to see the siddhas, great siddhas including Patanjali are all here.
When you fall unconscious and whatever your mind expresses is called dream. When you are in conscious whatever your mind expressing is called creativity. When you raise to super conscious and whatever your mind expresses is called higher worlds. That capacity to express is what is called dharana. Patanjali talks about hundred's of techniques to express special unique things. Please understand when you fall unconscious whatever you express does not leave big impact on your conscious life. When you are in conscious, whatever you express creates your life. When you are in super conscious whatever you express not only creates your life, creates the life of whatever you want to whomever you want. When you know the science of dharana, you become kalpataru. Whoever ask whatever, just like that, 'have it',' you will have it', 'it will happen'. Now in next few days I'll continue to push all of you to the super conscious state; means the highly raised mitochondria level. That is what is super conscious state; highly raised mitochondria level. Almost like explosion in every system. Then you will learn the science of dharana; expressing whatever you want!
When you enter into the altered states of consciousness, means higher states of consciousness, any idea you create can become reality. The capacity to create the right idea and making it into reality, that science is what is called dharana. Dharana is not just concentration. Concentration is like a removing the mud, if you say that, the example I gave, the farmer who floods the water into his land, he removes a small mud; if you say farmer removed the small mud, will it do true to the whole action happened? NO. Same way if you say dharana is concentration, it will not do true to the whole action happening. It’s only a poor translation of one dimension. You will have to say farmer is flooding his land with water by removing that small obstruction or removing the little mud. Only then what has happened will be told, translated, properly conveyed. Same way dharana should be translated as the capacity to create, express and make into reality of the extraordinary capabilities of your mind which is there in it in seed form is dharana.
I am seeing, we become Experiential Mystery School!! I bless you all to achieve, experience, live, radiate, express and Share the Eternal Bliss Nithyananda!!
Thank you.

I welcome you all with my Love and Respects. I welcome all the devotees who are with us around the world at this moment. Dubai, Seattle, New York, LA, Dallas, Chorus Mexico, Vancouver, and all other individuals who are sitting with us and small satsang groups who are sitting with us through the eN tv. I welcome you all with my Love and Respects. Before entering into today's subject, satsang, I'll answer some of the questions. I'll respond to some of the questions.
It’s a question from Vanaja, New Jersey satsang center coordinator: "I had an epiphany coming from home, coming home from NSP today. I asked you yesterday if I could heal help heal people and you gave me your blessings. I realised today there is so much more involved. I want to be able to talk to trees, insects, people in their own language, mountain, flowers, my car, animals; absolutely everything. When I do a healing, I want to be able to see their inside their body or frame to see what diseases they need to self heal. I want to see the CNS and be inside the bark of a tree and communicate and listen to everything. I also want to be able to download any information from the cosmos. So I have clinical evidence to support my findings and speak intelligently with all of God's creations. I want to be able to understand how they feel, see what they need to survive and most of all I want everything including tables and chairs to trust me to help them. I want to be one with nature. This sounds beyond logic and little crazy. But I know in my heart of heart this is the meaning behind my name and the path that you have chosen for me. Am I right? If the answer is 'yes', please give me your blessing. I am so excited about this".
Swamiji: “Vanaja answer is 'YES'. The way is: constantly Heal and Unclutch. Healing, our healing process is based on love so when you radiate love, love is the emotion which is immediately reciprocated by cosmos. Sex is the emotion which is immediately contradicted by cosmos. Please understand. Love is the emotion which immediately responded by anything in the cosmos. When you feel love, within few moments you will see it comes back to you from the cosmos. Immediately cosmos responds to it. The tree, the flower, mountain, nature everything responds to it. The sex, even your own body will be against it. See when it is awakened, even you own body immediately will resist. Our whole healing process is love based. So understand it is completely love based. So continue, continue, continue, intensely radiate love. You will see and experience whatever you are asking”.
Next question from Ma Nithya Atma, LA, VEDIC TEMPLE:" Last night's satsang and this mornings repeat of it via eN TV, you were giving us a strong kundalini experience. I experienced a very intense shaking from root to crown and at times I was levitating while I watched from home this morning. I and had to go to teach yoga class, and during one pose I had to stop because I thought it would take me back into the spiralling movement which could lead to levitation. Also the five senses are shifting. All the five senses are different and it is not all that easy to relate to life around me. So is it better to withdraw while this shift is going on or should I just move with the flow of everyday life activity, even though it feels strange and different. Are we bound to have public displays of spontaneous activity like levitation? Every day I give so much gratitude for what you are giving us all. If only everyone knew the great gift you are sharing.
Swamiji: Nithya atma, you need to understand two things. First, what you are going through now. The senses are shifting. Actually today exactly this is the same sutra Patanjali is giving us. I am going to express. When the senses are shifting, because of levitation and kundalini experience, it is good to withdraw at least for 3 months, so that your body gets completely matured, established in kundalini. Please understand yogic body is made of unclutching, intense tapas, kundalini and protein. When you are going through this levitation experience, unclutching; unclutch as much as possible. When your rajas means the restlessness is exhausted by unclutching; when you are feeling tamas, take up intense body building activities like yoga or weight lifting. Confuse the muscle by infusing the sweet pain of yoga and weight lifting. The third very important thing, bring joyful blissful mood to your muscles again and again by the kundalini awakening.
Please understand. Whenever your kundalini is awakened, when you experience levitation by the Master’s presence, all your muscles feel joyful, ecstatic, blissful! That is why even if you have one dose of kundalini experience; you can call one dose means may be 10 minutes of the masters presence, next at least seventy two hours three days that will go on be staying in your muscle memory. Means your muscle memory, muscles are being soaked into the honey. It constantly stays inside you. So please understand, let your body be built during the initial periods of kundalini awakening with this four material. One: Intense yoga and body building activities like a weight lifting, all the things which creates sweet pain inside the body; of course with proper instruction, first. Second: Intense unclutching as much as possible. Third: Masters presence as much as possible. Fourth: Protein; Means a disciplined satvik diet; no animal protein. Please understand. When your kundalini is awakened add only vegetable protein; protein through vegetarian means. Do not add animal protein. This four is enough to create a complete Yogic body and Vedic mind.
So, I will recommend anybody who has stated experiencing kundalini and levitation; three months if you retire from all other activity and work intensely, you will create a perfect yogic body and vedic mind. Then go to the world and show. Do all the circus.
You are asking here, "Are we bound to have public displays of spontaneous activity like levitation"?
After establishing yourself, go round and show not just levitation even teleportation!! Nothing wrong; but I will sincerely recommend any sincere seeker who wants to establish them self into this kundalini experience permanently, when you are experiencing kundalini, when you started experiencing; within a month, decide three months, back out from the normal activity and regular life . Either come and stay in the ashram: I am creating ambience just for that. See it’s like a.... Our ashram is like a 'green house of consciousness'; 'nursery for new man'. So when the kunadlaini experience happens is you, when you start levitating, the best thing is come to the green house of consciousness, nursery of new man. And all four are provided for you here and something more…..for growing consciousness, to nurture your consciousness, to make you a new man. New being!
So try, whoever is experiencing the awakening. So I'll sincerely recommend come and be here at least for 3 months. It is just a beautiful, intense, amazing, experience! And create a new body and new mind. It can really help you. It can really awaken your whole being!
Paramahamsa Nithyananda Launches eN-Kriya
DATE: January 29th 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 35:20
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. Dear devotees, disciples and first time visitors, I welcome all of you with my love and respects. Who are sitting around the world, please understand before the starting of the pada puja in 400 cities people were sitting, now 536 cities, people are sitting with us. It is just increasing. The counter is increasing. In 536 cities all over the world people are now sitting with us. I welcome all of you for being here and now! And I'll enter into the kriya initiation; the eN kriya initiation; invoking the presence of Sadashiva, Shankara and all the great masters.
This whole eN kriya is the gift given to the world by Nathasampradaya Matsyendranatha and Gorakhnatha; the Nathasampradaya through me. I bow down to all those great masters who created the system of Hatha yoga from which I derived this kriya and experienced it. And I offer my humble respects at their feet and request their presence here and all the places where our devotees are sitting now to have the initiation. It is they who are offering this to the world through me.
Let's enter into the eN kriya initiation by invoking all the great masters’ presence: Patanjali, Matsyendranatha, Gorakhnatha, Sadashiva, Shankara and all the great yogis who happened on the planet earth; Mahavatar Baba and all the siddhas who happened on the planet earth; Vashistadi, Saptarishis; I invoke all their presence. I humbly bow down to their presence.
I request all the devotees to sit in padmasana, vajrasana or sukhansana. Padmasana means completely locking your legs, Lotus posture or sitting on your knees: vajrasana or just simple squatting and keep your hands in samana mudra. Please understand, samana mudra means the right thumb up and left thumb below. Keep your hand in samana mudra and sit straight. If you can't sit on the ground, you can sit in the chair. If you can, better to sit on the floor.
I wanted all of you to know this eN kriya is from my own research and experience with Hatha yoga which is from the great sanyasis and masters of Nathasampradaya; Gorakhnatha, Matsyendranatha and all these great masters. They have created a unique Hatha yoga sampradaya by mastering the prana; breath energy, elevating the consciousness to the highest state, super conscious level which naturally gives heath, mental peace, mental wellness, emotional fulfilment, above all the ultimate conscious experience. All the auspicious things in your life can start expressing in your system if just the pranic level is raised in your system. Innumerable positive side effects can happen in your system through this eN kriya.
First I studied thoroughly, experimented on my own body and shared it with the group of, small group of seekers in Living Enlightenment process 48 day program. And then opened it to the public through Inner Awakening program and then did a scientific research which has proved the power of this kriya. The mitochondria energy level increases 1300%; thirteen times within 18 days.
Please understand, this research is done by taking the blood sample day 1 and day 18. Not even full 21 days!! And the doctors and scientists are again confirming, even yesterday we had a discussion, they are confirming, in the whole world any available medicine or physical exercise or any therapy can increase the mitochondria energy level only 25%. Not more than that. There is no system available on the planet earth known to the science to increase the mitochondria energy level more that 25%. And here we have increased successfully and proven to the scientific world 1300%. And very soon this research will be appearing in Bharatn Science journals and there is going to be a press meet in our Dhyanapeetam where these scientist will be appearing and revealing the exact word they used yesterday is 'earth shattering'. This whole research and the discovery is ground shattering!! They said, "This is ground breaking research Swamiji, earth shattering!”
And please understand, this kriya is one of the greatest gift to the world through me by all the great masters. I wanted to very clearly tell the world this is not my own discovery. I am not claiming it has happened in me. It’s a gift from all the great traditional masters of Vedic tradition. I wanted to make it very clear. I did only one thing. I experimented with it in my own system and systematized to create the maximum benefit without any negative side effect to all the human beings of the modern day; and shared that with the group of people in controlled conditions; and opened it to the public in a very safe ambience; and experimented with this step by step and finally did scientific validation; and presenting it all of you. Only this part is my contribution.
Other than that the basic science, the original truth itself is from the great masters; masters of the Vedic tradition; mainly the great Hatha yogis of natha sampradaya, Matsyendranatha and Gorakhnatha and great masters. And I should not forget to acknowledge and pay respects to Swami Satyananda Sarawathi for the English terms, the technical terms which I am going to use now. The English translation is done authentically by a great yogi of modern day Swami Satyananda Saraswati. I wanted all their names to be on record. They are all responsible and I offer my acknowledgement and respects to all of them for helping me to create this eN kriya in this shape and share it with all of you.
Mainly this eN kriya aims at balancing and fulfilling the five breathing movements happening in your system. Five prana movements: prana, apana, vyana, udana, samana. Please understand as per the siddha tradition the air movements are ten. As per the yogic tradition air movements are five. But actually what yogic tradition describes as five the same thing only in a little deeper way siddha tradition describes as ten. So now with this kriya, eN kriya I am working on all the five prana movements, life breath movements.
Now 552 cities around the world are sitting with us. It is increasing, increasing, increasing. I really expected 108 cities will sit with us for first day. Now 552 are sitting, spread all over the world. GOD!!
Let me give you the exact process and technical knowledge. You have 5 life breath movements happening in your body.
If you already done Inner Awakening and Living Enlightenment Process, please don't feel bored. I have to explain every step by step to all the new devotees and visitors. So please have patience but of course you have a chance to listen once more the basic truths.
Prana: air going in. Second movement: Air staying in your system. Third movement: From the air, life energy being separated and that being spread all over your body, that is what is called Samanah! Please understand. Samana means the life energy prana being separated from the air; the breath and that life energy, the highest vibration being spread all over the body, all over the system.
Body is also small word. System is the right word because it penetrates your muscle memory, mind, brain, all parts of you. So....the fourth movement is the air coming out, being released out of your system. The fifth movement is cleaning apanaha!! Apana.
Please understand these are the five prana movements in your body. These five are responsible for your health, mental wellness, emotional fulfilment, pleasure, pain, creativity, dullness, restlessness, peace, finally enlightenment itself!!
So these five pranas if they are balanced you live a healthy life. If they are awakened you live enlightened life! If they are imbalanced or disturbed that is responsible for physical, mental, psychological, emotional, spiritual disorders. I don't want to use the word diseases....disorders, because it can be again put in order! It can again be put in order!! In yogic tradition, there is no disease incurable. There is no disease incurable. Soon we will do further experiments and prove it to the world one by one, there is no disease incurable.
Second important thing: In the yogic system not having disease alone is not enough. Raising the consciousness to the highest fulfilment and going beyond the life and death cycle which is being forced on you. See taking birth and leaving the body is not wrong. But doing the same thing because it is forced on you is wrong. Taking body out of free will, leaving the body out of free will is great!
Masters do that again and again. But doing that same out of forced will is something very seriously wrong. So that is what we call life and death cycle itself has a one more disorder, samsara chakra. We call it bhavaroha, that itself is one disease. So here the eN kriya is shared with all of you to get rid of bhavaroha itself. Not just small, small diseases. These small, small diseases getting healed will be a one effect. But getting rid of bhavaroha itself will happen through this eN kriya. The eN kriya will immediately instantly balance your pancha pranas the five life breath movements.
Prana, apana, vyana, udana, samana will be balanced immediately. That's a immediate effect of this eN kriya and naturally that will lead to physical health, and mental wellness, emotional fulfilment, awakening of the non mechanical parts of the brain, creativity, anti aging; ultimately the spiritual enlightenment.
Please understand. Again and again the secret kriya traditions like Mahavatar Babaji's traditions, siddha traditions speak about anti ageing; kayakalpa. First time scientifically we proved through this kriya anti ageing is possible. Doctors were shocked! They say.... This is the first thing they are saying, the effect of this 1300% of the mitochondria level increasing, the first effect on the body will be anti ageing. The ageing process will be stopped because this cell mitochondria dies very quickly, letting the body to age, degrade and die. But if this energy, mitochondria cells energy can be increased to that extreme level of 1300%, it is just unimaginable. It is just unimaginable. They are saying, "Swamiji this is a straight process for anti ageing". And I am waiting for more reports and we'll further expand the researches in a deeper way.
Now the number says 571 cities. I want all of you to know it is a proper authentic number based on the sign ups. 571 cities are sitting with us; around the world 1000's of viewers.
So understand. This kriya is basically to balance the pancha pranas. Inhaling, holding, spreading, exhaling and cleaning; to balance these five. And this kriya mainly aims at increasing the mitochondria energy level of your system and infusing life energy, samana into your system. So automatically as a by product of this kriya the kundalini awakening and levitation will happen. Please understand. This kriya is the essence of the 48 day Living Enlightenment Process I did. Whatever I did spread throughout 48days, I have condensed. This whole kriya will take only 42 minutes.
Doing it twice a day if you can or once a day is enough; please understand, if you want only the physical health and mental wellness and emotional fulfilment, doing this kriya once a day is enough. If you want to further explore the siddhis; like a teleporting, and telepathy, all other clairvoyance experience those extraordinary siddhis, I may recommend doing twice a day. If you can do thrice a day I can assure straight away you will experience the enlightenment! Once a day itself will awaken your kundalini and make you levitate. Please understand, even if you practice once a day that will awaken your kundalini and make you levitate. If you can do it twice a day, it will create deeper siddhis in your body, in your system. If you do thrice a day, it will naturally lead to enlightenment!
Now I wanted to enter into the process. I wanted all of you to know, before launching this kriya, sharing this kriya with the world, I have thoroughly experimented spiritually and scientifically. So it proves.... Please understand this1300% of the mitochondria energy level increasing is for all the 100% of the people who participated in the experiment. Please understand. It is not 90% of the people or 80% of the people. NO. Whoever experiment participated in the experiment all their mitochondria energy level is increased to 1300%.
Let me describe step by step. This is basically a selection, collection and compilation of various pranayamas and mudras and postures; Pranayamas, mudras and postures. Posture means asana. So I'll describe step by step. Now first please listen to the instruction then I'll guide you. That time you can do it step by step. One by one and I'll make this whole thing available in my own voice immediately in YouTube so you can download and start practising from today.
I can say I offer this gift of eN kriya to the world with the deep gratitude to Sadashiva, Mahadeva, Maheshwara who is our adi guru, first master; And Matsyendranatha and Gorakhnnatha who are incarnations of Sadashiva, again came to planet earth to revive this yogic tradition; And Mahavatar Babaji who kept this kriya alive in the planet earth.
So please understand you are hearing one of the greatest sacred secret! I can say this is the right title I can give for this eN kriya. Sacred Secret! Authentically experimented, experienced, verified and validated scientifically and now being shared with you all, with the whole world. All the instructions for this kriya, eN kriya and how to do; the whole thing will be made available in the internet and YouTube immediately, today itself. So all of you can download and practice it every day.
Soon I'll be sharing with the world, the eN yoga; a set of postures for awakening your kundalini and making your muscle memory in tune with the cosmos and the eN yoga will be containing 54 postures. And I'll be sharing one more process called eN mudra. And the ultimate gift will be the eN dhyana, eN meditation which will be revealed on Shivaratri day!
I bless you all! My blessings to all of you! My blessings and I thank you all being part of the greatest spiritual pilot study: eN effect on the whole cosmos. You will see the eN effect on you, and the city where you sat and meditated and on the whole cosmos visibly instantly from now. My blessings!!
On you, it will be in the form of health, wealth and auspicious things in the life like a mental peace and spiritual enlightenment. On your city it will be like reduction in the crime rate and natural calamities and on the whole cosmos it will be reduction in the crime rate, wars, war deaths and natural calamities.
I request all devotees, disciple’s, viewers to share your experience on nithyananda.org home page. I request all of you to share your experience and the happening of the eN effect in you, or in your city. Whatever may be the experience share with nithyananda.org home page.

PYS 105 Renounce the Mind to Realize the Self
DATE: January 28th 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 19:10
Today's subject: "Renounce the mind to realize your Self". In Patanjali yoga sutra: 105th sutra, the 2nd chapter, 54th verse. "SVA VISHAYA ASAMPRAYOGE CHITTASYA SWARUPE ANUKARAH EVA AYINDRIYANAM PRATYAHARAH"
Swami Vivekananda translates this as:" Pratyaharah or the drawing in of the organs is affected by their giving up their own objects and taking as it were the form of mind stuff".
Swami Prabhavananda translates as: "When the mind is withdrawn from the sense objects and sense organs also withdraw themselves from their respective objects and thus are said to imitate the mind. This is known as pratyaharah".
Swami Satchidananda translates as: "When the senses withdraw themselves from the objects and imitate as it were, the nature of the mind stuff is pratyaharah".
I'll try to translate this sutra. Please understand the word pratyaharah. That's the key word. Aaharah means absorbing, taking in, pratyaharah means withdrawing, not taking anything in. Aaharah means through five sense you absorb; like seeing, listening, eating... sorry tasting, that’s the right word, then eating, tasting, smelling, touching; These are aaharah - five senses. Pratyaharah means not taking anything through the five senses.
As Ma Nithyatma was saying in her experience, when the kundalini is awakened, the senses are shifting. They are no more ordinary! Actually when the kundalini awakens, when you experience levitation, you will automatically experience pratyaharah; let me explain pratyaharah. How the senses are working; how the aaharah happens and pratyaharah happens; how the kundalini awakening directly impacts and influences the pratyaharah? First thing, your senses are matter used by your inner space, your mind. Your mind works through your senses and experiences the world through sensual pleasures or pains like seeing, listening, smelling, tasting, touching.
Now the stuff out of which your mind is made, if it withdraws from the senses activities, sensory activities and returns to its source, restoration, returning to the source; that is what I call pratyaharah. Withdrawing the senses, restoring them into the space where intense excitement and joy is a constant happening, without any happening.
Please understand. The joy and excitement happens in your senses only if there is something is happening outside. If your cell phone rings, excitement‼ Oh!! May be some friend; if you get an email, Oh! Excitement! May be some good news!! If you see food, Aaaw!! Come on... Now the tongue is alive!!! If you see anything new, immediately excitement!!
Yesterday I saw all bramhacharis and bramhacharinis were asked to eat in the mud plate to experience renunciation. Of course eating in the mud plate is very good for your health also; especially the plate which is made out of Ganges mud. We use that's what in our ashram, the plates made out of Ganges mud. When you put the hot food, hot rice into it and mix with sambar and eat in hand, that is something totally different! The energy and quality and even the chemistry of the food is different!! It works with your body like anything.
In sanyas training, there is a life called ‘Ganga based’ . They will morning take bath in Ganges water, drink Ganges water, use the Ganga mud to brush the teeth and the sticks which is collected from the trees which grows out of Ganga water, with that stick they will burn and cook their food in the pot made up out of Ganga mud; and the rice grown in the Ganga field and eat that and sleep in the breeze of Ganga and do their spiritual practices sitting in the banks of Ganga. The Ganga based life is a spiritual training.
So that is the reason I asked all my bramacharis and bramhacharinis to eat in the plate made out of Ganga mud. Even in that I saw these bramachari, especially one bramacharini, five times she wrote her name. I thought, "Oh God!! To avoid the excitement only the Ganga mud plate...but the plate has become a such a big excitement". When I went round and checked in the kitchen almost in ever plate five names or five times names are there.
In Pattinatar's disciple Badragiriyaar, there was a great siddha Pattinatar in Tamilnadu from a very.. He is from a very charitable community. He is born and brought up in a community which does business 'nagarataars'. So he is highly charitable minded person. He had some renunciation experience. So he gave away all the property and became a sadhu. Because he became a sadhu, actually he used to give lend money even to kings. Suddenly, he became sadhu.
One king, king of Badragiri who used to borrow money from this Patinatar, he was shocked!! Somebody who can lend money to me, king, has become a sadhu... renounced all the wealth! He was shocked and he came to see the Pattinatar. Pattinatar just gave two three great teachings, essence of life that clicked with Badragiriyaar, Badragiri king and he also renounced everything and came and started staying at the feet of Pattinatar.
So Pattinatar always used to take food from the hand and eat. But this his disciple after all he was a king, so he decided to have a small mud plate to eat. But Pattinatar did not like the idea of having a mud plate to eat. But king after all poor guy, it’s too much to eat from the hand , he needs at least the basic comfort to eat from a plate. He got a mud plate.
Naturally when there is a mud plate, you will take the food little more than what is required because you do not know how much is enough. With hand if somebody gives you will eat, eat. When the stomach is full you will say, “No, enough go back”. So person who brought the food has to take the remaining back. Who came to give you alms he will give how much you want and after that he will go back with the remaining food. So, no problem. But when you have a plate, naturally they will dump the food and go away. And this guy everyday he saw remaining there was little food.
One day one small dog came to him and he gave that food to that dog. And continuously like this few days when he gave the food to the dog, the dog got attached to him and it started staying with him. And after few days he started taking automatically little more food for the dog also. Earlier whatever was excess he started giving. So accepting the excess; the first fall!! The second fall, now for the dog also he stated taking more food.
One day Shiva himself came down as a sadhu; as a siddha to Pattinatar and asked. "Oh Lord! Please give me something". He asked for alms. Pattinatar looked up and said, he understood it is Shiva. "I am a paradesi, I don't have anything to give. May be in the other side of the temple one of my disciples who is a samsari is sitting. Go and ask him something. He will give you".
So Shiva went to the Badragiriyaar, the disciple who was king, the ex-king and asked Badragiriyaar, "Please give me something I am a sadhu". Then he looked up and said, "I am also a sadhu". Then the....Then Shiva said, "No, no. I went to your guru who is sitting in the eastern side of the temple, Pattinatar, he said he is a sadhu, he doesn't have anything but his disciple Badragiriyaar.... he mentioning you that you are a samsari, grihasta, householder, he asked me to come and beg from you.”
Then suddenly it clicked to that king the Badragiriyaar, Oh God! Odum tirunayyum yenae sammsari aakeeyado he excites he cries in Tamil, “this begging bowl and the dog which eats my remaining ....this too can it make me a householder, a bound man??? A grihasta oh God!! What have I done”!! It clicks. That idea clicks with him and he throws that mud plate on the dog .The plate breaks and the dog dies and he is liberated.
Please understand how cunning your senses are. The things the life is created around you so that the external excitements are avoided but you are excited even about those few things. I have seen these sadhus, they will leave everything and go away to Haridwar or Rishikesh and stay outside some temple, beg and eat but after two three months they will be attached to the place. Even when they go out they will put a towel; that no one nobody else should come and sit in that place.
That’s exactly getting a mud plate to eat. What for? So that you will not have other excitement attachment; and writing 5 times your names and making all kinds of kolam and flower garlands in that. I thought, "Oh God!! All these things are created so that the mind will avoid going through the senses too much and stop the getting excitement. But somehow our mind catches even these things and start getting excited".
So the excitement has nothing do with the object. It is something to do with your ideas. Whether you are attached to the 5 acre land or 2 feet land outside the temple to sit and beg is not important. You are attached is important. Whether you are attached to a silver plate or steel plate or to the mud plate is not important; you are attached. Even in the silver plate nobody used to write the name.
Mind going through the senses is the constant distraction. A conscious decision to withdraw the mind and restore it in its original stuff out of which it is made without going through the different happenings of the five senses, being in the space of constant excitement and joy which happens without happening is pratyaharah. So decide not to let the mind to go into the useless sensory distractions. Get into the space of ultimate excitement, peace and joy; without happening. Space where ultimate joy, peace, bliss is happening without any happening. Get into that. That is what I call pratyaharah!!
I bless you all to experience, achieve express, live, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda!
Thank you.

I want all of you to know your brain can receive and send informations without communication done in orthodox way like a words or visuals. So just understand this much, your brain is capable of receiving or sending communication without the orthodox methods like a words and visuals. Means without verbal or visual action your brain can receive and send information. Just remember this one truth that is enough you will experience the experience of eN-kriya before initiation. Then I'll give you the technique. So I am changing the trend. Usually technical knowledge-technique-experience. No. Experience, technical knowledge and technique.
So I welcome all the people who are sitting with us. Perth Australia, blessings! Toronto, Vancouver, San José. WOW! Vancouver, huge crowd, LA, Seattle, Columbus, Edlington Germany and London, Phoenix, Turkey, New Zealand, New Zealand 2; means New Zealand two cities, New Zealand itself.

These are the cities we have two ways screen. You will be seeing all these 37 cities levitating. In all other 400 cities I'll be seeing them levitating.
So I request all the devotees, disciples, all the people participating in the initiation, to sit either in padmasana or vajrasana or just simple squatting. First priority: padmasana; Second priority: vajrasana; Third priority: just squatting; sit and samana mudra. It will be good if you sit on the ground. So sit in samana; samana mudra means lock your hands, right thumb should be up, left thumb should be below. Lock your hands, sit straight. Sit straight, Padmasana or vajrasana or just sukhasana; comfortable squatting. We'll start the initiation. Samana mudra lock your hands; means the right thumb up and left thumb low below. We'll start the initiation process.
First step: I'll describe a simple comfortable squatting, sitting straight and very simple inhaling and exhaling eleven times. Just to prepare yourself for the kriya. Please understand. Please listen now. No need to do it. I'll guide you, that time you can do.
So closing one side of the nostril with your thumb and inhaling. After you feel you are full, closing the other side and exhaling. You don’t need to do it now. Just relax. Listen and do it when we do the kriya. Listen to the instruction.
Close the right nostril with your thumb, right hand thumb; inhale through left. Once you feel complete, close the left nostril with the middle finger and ring finger and exhale through the right nostril; Simple nadi shodana. Nadi shodana means just cleaning the nostrils; cleaning the basic nadis.
Do this for eleven times. It may take maximum one minute. That’s it; Nothing else. Or one and a half minute 90 seconds; nothing more than that.
I think I have shown very clearly. Please understand, inhaling and exhaling; nothing else very simple. Actually this is not kriya itself; it’s a preparation for kriya. The first three steps are preparation for kriya and just letting your body warm up. This is the first step, eleven times.
Second step: The bastrika parnayama. Please understand, the technical term is bastrika.
Pull your lower abdomen in and up. Please understand. Don’t lift your shoulder. Don’t move the whole body. No, no. Just the lower abdomen should be pulled in and up 21 times. Please understand again I am preparing the body.
Eleven times of nadi shodana; Simple breathing.
21 times of bastrika. 21 times is a very simple thing. Actually it’s nothing, just 21 times of bastrika. This all preparation. Please understand this all preparation to push you to the original kriya itself.
The third step: Inhaling as slowly as possible, holding as long as possible, exhaling as slowly as possible, holding the lungs empty without breathing as long as possible.
Please understand. I have collected, arranged, compiled various different pranayamas and mudras and postures in this set to give you the maximum benefit spending less time and less effort. Almost like lazy man's guide to enlightenment!!
Then nadi shodhana; cleaning the breathing nostril, 21 bastrika and again inhaling as slowly as possible, holding as long as possible, exhaling as slowly as possible, holding the lungs empty as long as possible. This same cycle should be repeated. You see all these four action put together is called one cycle. Inhaling as slowly as possible, holding as long as possible, exhaling as slowly as possible, holding the lungs empty as long as possible without inhaling. When you can again, again inhale as slowly as possible. So this four action is one cycle. Like this 21 cycle. These four action can be called as one pranayama. So 21 pranayama. I am making it all completely numbered; a clear, logical, calculated, mathematical step for enlightenment. I am making your enlightenment just like bank account.
Please understand. Do this, do that, you will have it; because common man understands only this language; So 21 pranayama. This is the third step. But I want all of you to know all these three steps are only preparation for the kriya. Now we are entering into the exact kriya itself; exact kriya itself. Only if you do these three steps of preparation you will be able to enter into the exact kriya itself.
This is the most powerful part. Please understand. The exact kriya if you do without preparing these three steps, it will not have any effect on you. So you need to enter into this kriya after only these three steps. That is why I am saying whole thing is kriya. For your understanding I am explaining how the process is happening.
Now 581 places around the world are sitting with us live. I can say we crossed the basic critical limit needed for the energy to land. Now I am very clearly seeing the energy has started expressing. Now all the people who are sitting around the world in these 581 places will experience the kundalini awakening. And at least 100 places will have the materialisation of vibhooti. You will see now, you will receive at least 100..... Oh! New York already started coming. So please understand at least one hundred places you guys will experience the materialisation of vibhooti as a symbol of the Masters presence physically there.
Now listen the instruction: Thumbs on the ears and the index finger and middle finger on the eyes, and the ring finger on the nose, if the little finger touches your lips that’s enough, even if it doesn’t touch its okay. Please understand. I'll show you.
As per the yogic tradition, all five senses are in your face itself. Ears, smelling: nose, taste: tongue, seeing: eyes, the cheeks are considered to be the touch. That is why cheeks play such a major role in the pleasure of touching. So through this mudra you do pratyahara of all five senses.
Please understand your hands are the gate way for your prana. It can send or receive prana. That is why whenever I, not me, all over the world in all traditions, not just vedic tradition, in any religion, a highly evolved pranic source, an enlightened master or an incarnation or a saint or a religious leader blesses you with the hands towards you. Means he is releasing the pranic energy. And when you are asked to receive you are always asked to raise your hand so that you can receive.
Hands are gate way to send or receive pranic energy. Now when you lock your hands on the senses all the senses are withdrawing inside the pratyahara happens.
Thumb on the ears, two fingers on the eyes, and the ring finger on the nose, little finger on the lip and lock the nose. Lock the breathing through these two ring fingers as long as possible. Please understand. Never try to do with the middle finger. If you try to lock the nose with the middle finger you will lock it more than you can bear. That danger of fainting or disturbing your health is possible. It is there so don’t do with middle finger. Do it with ring finger.
Do it with the ring finger. Please understand. The ring finger..
Washington, New York, Port Washington, New York, please don’t do it now. Wait, I'll guide you. You can do that time. Just listen. Listen to the instruction. Don’t do now. New York I am saying do not do now. Kalavati just listen.
Bah‼ I am seeing very clearly how the etheric body of me is being used by the cosmos like a huge octopus it has spread and, and it is just putting in each place where people are sitting one leg and connecting with the people.
God! I can see very clearly all the places people will experience levitation. At least in one hundred place devotees will have vibhooti from padukas and at least two hundred devotees will receive vibhooti in their hands now.
God!! The devotees, if you see vibhooti coming out of your hand, don’t be afraid or surprised. I could see the energy expression. One side the energy overload, people are rolling. I can see everywhere. On the other side, webinar overload. It’s not able to handle. Gnanatma you are ready? More and more people are logging in, signing in.
So all the people, who missed the, for few minutes webinar stopped, I wanted to tell all of you, you have not lost anything. I have not given any instructions in those few minutes. I waited. So please you can listen now.
So now the hands, the thumb on the ears, the index finger and middle finger on the eyes, the ring finger on the nose and the little finger on the mouth. Stop the breathing flow; inhaling or exhaling completely as much as you can. Please don’t do now. Relax. Relieve your hands. As much as you can stop the flow; after few minutes or few seconds, oh! Now I cannot stop anymore; then just release those two ring fingers for few seconds the body will automatically inhale or exhale. Let it do its job. You don’t do inhaling or exhaling. Body will automatically balance.
Please understand. You do not put your will. When you feel you can’t handle anymore, just release; body will automatically balance itself. So once if you release your nostrils and lock again, it is called one pranayama; so this way 21. Please understand, it’s a fourth step.
First a simple cleaning of the nostril, second: bastrika, third: inhaling as slowly as possible, holding as long as possible, exhaling as slowly as possible, holding the lungs empty as long as possible, fourth: Locking the nostril completely as long as you can through the ring finger.
Different country showing finger is a big risk! Because people are watching from all the cultures and countries, we will have to be very careful. Oh! this showing fingers.
Fifth part is, please understand this fourth part is the main kriya.
The fifth part is settling with your body, means balancing the body.
Three.... First three steps are preparation. The fourth step is main kriya and the fifth part is balancing your body, settling your body. The settling or balancing can be done by intense humming. Seven minutes of intense humming. Means the energy created has to be churned in your system; intense humming for seven minutes.
After that living: means making that a part of your muscle memory. This will be done by the seven times doing shakti dharna. Please understand, shakti dharana means, raising your hands towards the sky and visualise the masters presence and energy intensely landing on you, awakening your kundalini on the whole body and bow down to the cosmos, surrender to the cosmos 7 times.
Please understand, totally 5 action.
Simple breathing 11 times,
Bastrika 21 times
The inhaling slowly, holding long, exhaling samana kriya; that 21 times
And the fourth part is shambavi mudra; holding the breath completely through shambavi mudra 21 times.
And the fifth part is Mahamantra 7 minute
And the 6th part is the Shakti Dharana means, receiving the cosmic energy and offering it.
Please understand it’s a unique combination. I have put the whole world into this one kriya. I have put the whole world into this one krirya.
The 6th part is 7 times receiving the energy, connecting with the cosmos sky and surrendering to the cosmos earth, becoming part of the cosmos, 7 times. The whole thing will take less than 7 minutes. This 7 times shakti dharana and the last but not least sit for few minutes and send an intense loving, compassionate, blissful vibrations to all over the world with a proper shwasti mantra.
Shwasti mantra means sending the peace and bliss to the whole world with the ideas like, 'loka samashta sukhino bhavantu’. Let the whole world be at peace. Let the whole world be in bliss.
‘Loka samastha sukhino bhavantu’. With this beautiful deep spiritual feeling and compassion, send the loving compassionate vibrations to the whole world; healing vibration to the whole world.
All these seven step put together will take only less than 42 minutes.
Please understand this is what I call eN-kriya; very powerful process. All these seven, you would have done with me separately, individually. I am putting all these seven together.
Most powerful, highest possible frequency; the life breath vibration will happen in you. You will see the intense kundalini awakening happening in you. The eN-effect will be experienced by you.
Please understand, because in this body all these experiences happened and the clear arrangement has happened and coming out, anybody who does this kriya will immediately connect with this energy which is expressing through this body and experience intense kundalini awakening and eN-effect as people experience in my presence or I can say much more than the experience happening in my presence.
Please understand, through this initiation I add Masters grace and blessings to this kriya and to all of you.
Now at this moment 615 places around the world people are sitting. I bless all the people who are sitting around the world. Please understand, with my blessings and the grace of all the great Masters, I initiate all of you: All of you will have, people who are sitting around the world and here in the physical presence, all of you are initiated. I bless you all with the experience of initiation.
PYS 106 sutra
Master Your Senses
Date: 30 January 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
DURATION:
Sadashiva samarambaam; Sahankaracharya madhyamaam
Asmathacharya pariyantaam; Vande guruparamparaam
I welcome you all with my love and respects! I welcome all the devotees and disciples who are sitting around the world at this moment. Los Angeles, San Jose, Dallas, Miami, Seattle, Houston and few more cities and countries are online with us live. I welcome all of you for today’s satsang. So before entering into the satsang, I remind all the devotees and disciples, sit in padmasana or vajrasana and samana mudra and unclutched mind. Lower body should be in padmasana or vajrasana. Hands should be in samana mudra. Mind should in unclutched mood so that now you can experience the eN experience, eN-effect! The kundalini awakening.
Today, 106th Patanajili's sutra in 2nd chapter, 55th verse.
Subject: Master Your Senses.
Senses are the door through which you experience not only the world, even the identity you carry about you. You taste your own identity only through the senses. Please understand even the identity you carry about you, you taste only through senses. Mastering your senses means mastering the identity you carry.
Let’s enter into the sutra.
'tatah parama vasyata indriyanam'
Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as: ‘thence arises supreme control of the organs’.
Swami Prabavananda translates as: ‘thence arises complete mastery over the senses’
Swami Satchidananda translates as: ‘then follows supreme mastery over the senses’.
Osho translates as: ‘then comes the complete mastery over all the senses’.
tatha paramavashyate indriyanam
I'll translate as: ‘then comes the senses being attracted, digested, dissolved or absorbed into the supreme’.
I have my own way of translating. Through my translation I give the intention of Patanjali, what Patanjali intends to express through this sutra.
Let me now give the exact truth. By the pratyahara, yesterday Patanjali was talking. The last sutra Patanjali was talking about pratyahara, withdrawing the senses. Now he is talking about of the power of mastering the senses. Complete mastery over the senses. Please understand. First truth I wanted all of you to understand is as you think you do not experience only outer world through your senses. This is one of the important revelation. In this sutra I wanted you to understand not only the outer world, even what you think as ‘you’ in the inner world you experience through your senses.
Please understand. You can see in your life. If you suddenly master one sense for example tongue, suddenly due to some reason you mastered your tongue by mistake. And you reduce the quantity of the food and increased the proper quality of the food. Please understand. Our main problem is reduced quality, increased quantity. There will not be any quality food; left and right snacks. It will not have any quality. It may have taste but it will not have any quality. And you don’t even know the ingredients of that food. The quality is compromised but the quantity; you don’t know the quantity which goes inside. Oh God!
The plates are too small. They carry bags; huge quantity but no quality. That is what I call rajasic food. Food consumed because of your restlessness. When you don’t have any other work, come on let’s eat.
If you have mastered even your one sense, now I am seeing the whole ashram, I am seeing when I changed the understanding about food and everybody has fallen into the routine of that two meal a day, immediately you will see not only you are mastering your senses, your understanding about ‘you’ suddenly changes.
Please understand. If you master even one sense, your understanding about ‘you’ will change. Oh God! This is the sacred secret behind this sutra. Understand I am not commenting on these sutras. NO. I am revealing the sacred secrets behind each sutra. The sacred secret! The moment you understand, you start living that sutra. Please understand that is the main thing. The sacred secret is the key. The moment you understand you start living. Always you thought mastery over senses is required for the peaceful life in the outer world. That is why at some time oh! This sense even if I don’t mastery its okay, I'll have peaceful life; and you are caught. Mastery over the senses is not required to have peace in the outer world; it is required to experience ‘you’ as new you.
I have seen in thousand of seekers life when they master one sense or one habit; I have seen in our own ashramites and bramachairis life, earlier the amount of food they consumed and the worst quality. Anything available in the street, any colour, any ingredient, car will stop. And you know why? Whenever I used to travel, I'll see except my car, all cars will suddenly disappear. And after few minutes suddenly in my car also the backside doors windows will come down and some cars will be coming very closely parallelly; from that car to this car some packets will be thrown. And I'll be in aananda shayana and still making these guys believe I am sleeping. And from behind some gada-muda, gada-muda, gada-muda sound will start; gaap, baak, baak; and will go on for 6, 7 hours. If I slowly open my eyes hey what happened the follow up cars are not there? "They stopped for fuel Swamiji". Fuel for who??? Nobody knows. And then these crew travels with me suddenly they wanted caravan. I asked why? Because we need bathroom inside. See when you consume too much you need to stop. Because I don’t eat anything in between I don’t stop. So the fellows in my car........And different, different smells will come from behind. First it will be some snacks, then it will be some juice, after that some bottle opening sound, some covered seal opening sound, then different opening sound. That is the time I'll wake up and lower the glass for the fresh air.
Suddenly one day I announced come on lets all follow the diet of the siddha tradition. Only two meal a day. No question of eating outside. No food other than what you eat during the two meal and that also only in the mud plate, the mud plate made out of Ganga mud. When I made all these rule, I saw from that day these guys have become healthy. And I want all of you to know whole ashram was suffering with anaemia. That’s the reason I gave this new diet. Whole ashram was suffering with anaemia and our official doctor wanted bypass surgery for everybody. She wanted everybody to be hospitalised. Admit all the people in the ashram in the hospital. And start bypass surgery within half an hour. I asked ‘what do you mean?’ No, if you don’t start within 30 min bypass surgery, I don’t know what will happen. And you need to infuse iron. I thought ‘iron infusing into the body!’
Anyhow, and already she has taken few bramacharini, bramhacharis and bramahacharinis to the hospital. And they are all coming with some big bandage this side, that side; some infusion, so many things already started.
All I did is just stop this snacking habit and made it into two meal; reduced quantity increased the quality of the food; then neem juice in the morning; night 250 ml milk with little camphor. The traditional camphor, unprocessed camphor, that’s it.
Forty eight days the whole ashram is out of anaemia. Everybody has become alright.
Please understand. It is not that only the outer world conditions or outer world understandings about the senses has changed. I can see they started having new respect about them self. The identity, the idea they have about them self has suddenly changed. Wow!! We can master our senses; then unconscious strength, confidence on their own will. Everything has drastically changed. Please understand, unconscious strength, confidence over their will. I am really happy that I made this understanding of two meal a day because I know some of the monasteries suffer just because of food.
Please understand, having loose manipuraka is much worse than loose muladhara. I think you understand. At least loose muladhara gives you some suffering in turn. And your body and mind understands; No, I need to control. But this loose manipuraka you never understand. I have seen in some of the monasteries so much of perversion just because of the food. Food is a alternate for sex. And the sex is suppressed come on eat left and right. From morning till night their mouth will be open either for talking or for eating. That’s it. If you are not talking then eat. It is very, very big torture that’s the right word I can say.
Understand, Siddhas are shown with big tummy that is not because of food. It’s because of prana. When you just live on prana also you will have big, little bigger belly.
When you master even one senses, one sense like I saw our bramahacharis and brmahacharinis and devotees when they mastered that one sense, eating two meal a day, and no question of snacking here and there, suddenly I saw they their own understanding and idea about their own identity has drastically changed. I tell you even the great vows like a bramhacharya or controlling particular senses is not just mastery over the outer world or mastery over the senses. The very idea and identity which you carry about you will be transformed. That is why I do not want to translate that word vashyata: the technical term in this, key word in this sutra as mastery or obedience. I can say vashyata means just getting dissolved, absorbed. Vasiya means.... vasiya does not mean some body masters you. No. You just surrender into that sweetness.
Parama, when the ultimate opens up in you, when the inner light awakens in you, when the peace and joy of unclutching is experienced in you, when the kundalini is awakened in you; all the senses just relax them self into the sweetness of parama. Parama vashyata. Vashyata does not mean you going and mastering it; they just relaxing and surrendering it.
21: 32
Here Patanjali says the senses are supposed to relax and surrender into your inner space. The word mastery has underline of violence and arrogance. So I do not want to use that word mastery, No. I’ll better use the word, 'a sweet dissolving'. The senses are supposed to sweetly dissolve into your inner space. That is what I call complete mastery over the senses. Viragaha! Raga means attachment. Araga means detachment. Viraga means beyond attachment and detachment.
It is not like you will control your senses with difficulty.....will. No. It is not that you will fight with your senses. It is like trying not to remember the monkey but whole day except monkey you will be remembering...If you try not to remember the monkey, you will not remember anything except monkey. That is not vashyata. Suddenly just by the simple flow, your mind dissolves into that sweetness, into the sweet energy. Understand. Continuously unclutch unclutch unclutch.
Try to master even one or two senses. When you master even one or two senses the idea you carry about you will change; the identity which you carry about you will change. Mastery over senses is nothing to do with the outer world. It is something to do with the inner world. When your idea about your senses change, suddenly you realise you were always enlightened! The idea you carry about you, need to be changed. That is the essence of the whole life. Somehow by mistake you have taken the mis-identity, wrong identity. You missed and messed.
I can say when you are taking things if you mess it, it is mess taking. The mess taking, the mess committed in taking in mistaking. When you miss the right thing and take the wrong thing, you created the wrong identity; idea about you.
I have seen when you do yoga or intense samana yoga, weightlifting and all that; first few days it will be very difficult but once you start doing a month or two; once you master your senses suddenly you will see that idea which you carry about you completely changes. It is just totally different.
Mastery your senses; Abide more and more into the parama means the kundalini experience; unclutching experience; the vashyata indriyanam; the senses dissolving into the ecstasy of that inner space will happen. So all you need to do, reside more and more in the unclutced space. Your senses will get dissolved into that sweetness. So the supreme mastery over the senses happen in you.
Let you all Experience the kundalini awakening; the eN-effect.
Please close your eyes and sit in a unclutched mood. Now the experience of kundalini which happens in you, will make your senses surrender into your inner space. Let the kundalini shakti intensely be awakened in you all.
Ommmmm Ommmmm Ommmmm Ommmmm Ommmmm Ommmmm Ommmmmm
Om Hreem
Om shanti shanti shantihi!
I bless you all!! Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda.
Thank you.

VIBHOOTI PADA: SCIENCE OF EXTRAORDINARY ENERGIES
DATE: January 31 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
DURATION: 47:54
Sadashiva samarambaam; Sahankaracharya madhyamaam
Asmathacharya pariyantaam; Vande guruparamparaam
I welcome you all with my love and respects! I welcome all the devotee’s disciples sitting with us around the world at this moment live. Los Angeles, San Jose, Seattle, Ohio, Dallas in two way communication, in all other places including Chicago in one way communication.
My blessing to Rekha Pathak! Today she did pada puja. My blessings! I am with you.
All other hundred’s of cities who are sitting with us, hundreds of places, people who are sitting with us live at this moment, I welcome you all with my love and respects.
Let’s enter into today’s satsang. Before entering into the satsang I want to remind all of you, sit in vajrasana or padmasana or sukhasana and samana mudra. Lock your hands in samana mudra. San Jose, still two three are not sitting in padmasana. Lock your hands in samana mudra. Let your mind be in the unclutched state.
If you sit in this prepared posture, not only you will knowledge you will receive experience also. It’s like if you are lying down completely comfortably and if somebody talks to you about sleeping, not only you will receive the knowledge, you will receive the experience also. Same way if you are sitting in the right position and posture for the kundalini awakening and spiritual experience, when I talk about all these things you will not only receive the knowledge, you will receive the experience also.
Today we are entering into vibhooti padaha; the chapter in which Patanjali very beautifully describes how to create extraordinary expressions of energy through you. Please understand, unfortunately you don’t even know you. That is what is the big problem. You don’t even know you. I'll give you a simple understanding. Now you are sitting and watching me or watching this whole happening. For a moment distance yourself from the person watching and witness 'you' who is watching me. You can try; just now you can try mentally. See the person who is seeing me in you. There is somebody in you who is seeing me; see that person. The witness, who is seeing you seeing me, is me and you together. The witness, who is seeing you seeing me, is you and me together. Or in that state you and me are one and the same. If you relax in that witnessing mode, whatever expresses through me can express through you.
Dharana means, falling into the state of consciousness, falling into the space of consciousness, altering yourself to the state of consciousness; from where the extraordinary energies can be expressed easily like breathing. In you, how the breathing is a normal natural act. Unfortunately in modern man even that is not lost.... even that has lost its natural flow.
Dharana means altering the state of consciousness where the extraordinary powers and energies can be expressed easily through you body and mind. In this vibhooti pada, Patanjali gives you amazing powerful science to express different extraordinary energies through your body and mind. By putting you into the ultimate state of consciousness, transcendental consciousness, Patanjali is making all the extraordinary energies to come through your bio memory.
Please understand, I introduce this vibhooti pada today, so that every day the truths we learn can be a powerful technique for you. When you alter the state of consciousness, your bio memory and engrams get a different kind of life. Its like understand this one example; the projector light and the slide. That example can be really useful for you. If the projector light is burning or that power of the beam is 100 unit and any slide is kept, you will see that slide live and 100 unit strength. I am giving you example. If that projector light is 30 unit and any slide is kept, you will see the projector the slide in reality in screen 30 unit. The 30 unit is what I call dream state. 100 unit is what I call conscious, normal waking state. The same projector light is raised to the 1000 unit. And the same slide will be seen totally differently; 1000 unit clarity on the screen. That is what I call super conscious siddhis.
Please understand. The same slide, if the power of the projector, power of the light of the projector is altered the same slide can show you different realities. This same body this body is the slide you carry. The bio memory is written on that, is the scenes. The light projector light is your consciousness. If the project lies.... light goes to the sleeping mode 30 unit, you see dull, vague, unconscious, unconnected ideas flowing as your reality which we call dream.
If the projector light is 100 unit, the movements which are happening in front of you is a waking state.
That same thing becomes 1000 unit, the same project... same slide, your body, just the consciousness; the power of the light projector light if that is increased to 100 unit, suddenly the reality you experience will become intense, clear, alive, extraordinary.
All the people who are experiencing 100 unit will be shocked by the expression of 1000 unit through your body.
Understand, siddhis are nothing but defying the laws of physics which is experienced by the people who are in 100 unit. But unfortunately the people who are in the 100 unit does not understand that what they understand as the law of the physics is not ultimate. Which do not understand there is something which exists as reality more than their frequency is called atheist. Fortunate are those who even believe the basic idea there is something more than what they understand. The frequency with which they catch, there is a higher frequency and higher reality. Blessed are those who have even simple faith towards this truth. And blessed are those who are ready, are interested in moving towards that higher frequency. Ultimately blessed are those who catch a glimpse of the higher frequencies.
Understand. I'll give you an example. If you are interested continuously in eating, your body bio memory is based on eating. In 100 unit frequency, you will have different varieties of food and eat. That will be the projection of your reality, your life. In 30 unit, you will constantly struggle for food and you will try to, you will get it little bit and by the time you try to eat you wake up that reality dissolves. That constantly being teased happens at 30 unit. In 100 ,you want, it comes, you live. In 1000 unit, you don’t even bother, it is there constantly around you and beyond that you are fulfilled.
The other day, one of my bramhachari was asking me, Swamiji how to find out whether I should get married or live sannyas life? I said, "Don’t bother at all. Just all the bio memory, samskara, engram, you carry about lust, sex, the physical pleasure; surrender that to your own inner space. Surrender it and pray to your space, if this need to be fulfilled you yourself make without any conflict in my life. Let the situation, persons, things happen in my life. Let it be fulfilled. Or this is not required to be fulfilled, you yourself see that it that it is burnt. Relax into that higher consciousness, to the higher frequency.
Please understand, even if you have not raised yourself to that higher frequency once, the higher frequency exists in you. Even if you have not realised you are God, you are GOD. Even if you have not experienced the higher frequency once, don’t bother. It is there in you. So pray to that higher frequency. Tell to the higher frequency. I do not know how you look, I do not know how you feel. I know only one thing you exist. Because, unless you exist I can’t imagine that you exist. Please understand anything which you have a capacity to imagine exists. If you can imagine a elephant with 10 trunks and 20tusks, please be very clear, it exists. You may think what is this?
The capacity to imagine immediately creates that in hiranya garba. Imagine that deeply at one moment you will see it. All the celestial objects like a kalpataru, kamadhenu, all the ratna simhasana, manidweepa, chindamani ghriha: all these things are the imaginations of our rishis in highest frequency which has become reality in hiranya garba, which is available in hiranya garba, means the cosmic womb. If you raise the frequency which you are experiencing in your body, you will see all of them.
See the simple example. If you are life is running between 1000's. 1000's only you can maximum think, imagine, bargain, repay, your whole life is in the frequency of the thousands of rupees. Then naturally you will see only the small houses, your whole world will be only the small houses, ordinary banana fruit and two meal a day and simple clothes, your whole world is different.
If your frequency is lakhs, I am taking in economy so that you understand. You will see double bedroom houses. That will be your world. When you wake you will see double bedroom houses, apartments and decent clothes and three meal a day, a new kind of cinema theatres. These are the little different world. I can say bur bhuva swaha.
If you handle, live in crores then your frequency is little different. You see different independent villas, every day different clothes, different shoes, different jewellery, different life style, different kind of food.
If you see, if you are handling 1000's of crores, if that is your frequency, then you will have house like a ship, may be house in the ship, or ship in the bank of your house, whatever you want , your frequency is totally different.
Understand, this is what I call different worlds. A man who lives in the 100's of crores will never get to see in his life, a life a slum. A man who lives and handles thousands, only thousands, will never even have a chance to look at the world of 1000's of crores man’s world. Understand, it is such an important truth. Simple economy itself can make you understand.
Same way the man who lives in 30 unit frequency, can never imagine 1000 unit frequency life!!
Understand. The change of frequency in which you exist consciously is what Patanjali calls dharana. In my language the change of frequency only I call it samyama. This whole vibhooti pada is about raising your frequency to the different levels and making you experience extraordinary powers, making those extraordinary powers to come out of your system, your body and mind.
Understand the change of frequency in which you exist consciously is what Patanjali calls Dharana. In my language the change of frequency only I call it samyama. This whole vibhooti pada is about raising your frequency to the different levels and making you experience extraordinary powers. Making those extraordinary powers to come out of your system, your body and mind.
Let me enter into the sutra; 107th sutra in Patanajali’s yoga sutra, in 2nd chapter, verse number one, 1st verse in the 2nd chapter.
Subject for the satsang is vibhooti padaha: ‘desha bandaas chitasya dharana’
Swami Vivekananda says as: ‘dharana is holding the mind onto to some particular objects’
Swami Prabhavananda translates as: ‘concentration is holding the mind within a centre of spiritual consciousness in the body or fixing it on some divine form, either within the body or outside it’.
Swami Sachidananda translates as: ‘dharana is binding of the mind to one place, object or idea’.
Osho translates as: ‘dharana concentration is confining the mind to the object being meditated upon.
I would like to translate as: dharana is a method through which your mind is fixed on some object and your consciousness is altered to that higher frequency so that the extraordinary powers, experiences, energies can express through your body and mind. The technique or method through which your mind is fixed on different truths; either it may be idea or an object and your state of consciousness is altered. Through this process extraordinary experiences and energies express through you. This process, technique or truth is what I call dharana.
I have seen great yogi like Raghupathy, Raghupati Yogi doing dharana not only on his body, expressing those powers of dharana through my body, just like that casually.
One day, he told me that concentrate on this part, kurma nadi. You will be able to see all the stars. I started laughing eh...I had a very intimate friendly relationship with him. Still when I remember I can cherish it. I had a great reverence, surrender, devotion, with all that very friendly. I can say one of the important ingredient was there in my relationship with him which I cherish still now. I was never surprised or shocked by the extraordinary powers he expressed. This is aahhh!!! It’s okay...Somehow in the deep down even though I have not started expressing those powers at those moment through my body and mind, I just know I have all of them inside me.
Like sometime even though you have not become visibly sick, clinically sick, you know you are carrying a certain sickness inside which will express in next few days. Intuitively you will know, your muscle memory knows. Same way, I had a very deep clarity even though I have not expressed those great powers as on now through my bio memory, through my muscle memories, I just know these powers do exist in me. So any expression he showed I was never put in AWE!! Like a child like innocent awe will be there for few minute then I’ll come back okay, next. Because of this I had an amazing very friendly relationship with him.
One day he said concentrate on this part you will be able to see the stars in day time. I said hm.....too much....and I did not naturally believe. Then he just held this part in my hand and dragged me out of the mandapam where we were sitting. Mandapam means a stone pillared hall. Krittikai mandapam that was a place in the Arunachaleshwara temple he used to teach me yoga. He dragged me holding that spot. When we came out it was may be noon time, he just showed me to look at the sky. I looked up I could very clearly the stars just like a dark night. I was shocked! Really I was shocked! I said how is it possible? He said when you concentrate on this part; the subtle movement happening in your eyeballs will stop. See, the subtle movements in your eyeball is responsible for you to experience that blue layer. What do you call that? Raman’s effect; the Raman’s effect of that blue light being reflected is seen by you, experienced by you because of the subtle movements happening in the eyeballs. If the subtle movements in the eyeballs stop, if you are able to penetrate through the Raman’s effect, that blue layer, you can see the stars.
Actually if you concentrate on this part, you can see very clearly the subtle movements of your eyeballs will immediately stop; means, raising the frequency of the ability to see. Understand, now you have, if you have the ability to see 100 feet, if the frequency the constant restlessness in the eyeballs if it stops, if your awareness can look through penetrate through the eyeballs; you can naturally see beyond the blue layer Raman’s effect; that’s what exactly happened.
You need to know a fact. All your senses are capable of doing all the job of all other senses. Your eyes has a capacity to breathe and experience smell. Your ears has a capacity to see. I have seen one yogi, very elderly yogi; he will blow the thread, anything through the eyes. He is will keep that near the eyes and just blow it and it will fly. Through the eyes he will blow the air and the objects will fly. All your senses can do all the jobs of all other senses.
This extraordinary powers abilities express through dharana. What Raghupathi yogi did to me was dharana. He made forcibly my mind to fall on this part. I can say because of my love and surrender for him, my whole mind automatically got concentrated on this kurma nadi. Because of that dharana, the subtle restlessness which stays in your eyeballs stops. When the subtle restlessness in eyeball stops, the consciousness through which you see through the eyeballs becomes sharp and deep, undisturbed and penetrating. With that penetrating look when I look up I could see the Raman’s effect being crossed by me. The deflection of the blue layer, blue light being crossed by me and I could see the pure space.
If you want to experience that penetrative look, see during energy darshan. How I saw the stars same way only I look at you and all the Raman’s effect you created by the deflection of thoughts moves out. Whatever is inside all those stars are seen by me, all those grahas. Then I say come on this fellow wanted to have some good things. All the inauspicious grahas move out. They align for the boon you ask you ask in kalpataru. Alright now go, next.
There is a beautiful story in Mahabharata. If the war starts on amavasya, the kauravas will win. So kauravas are prepared to do all the rituals to start the war on amavasya. But what to do, Pandavas have to win as per Krishna's plan. So suddenly one day before the amavasya, Krishna went to the river and started doing shraddha. Usually on amavasya day he will do shraddha for his ancestors. Suddenly one day before the amavasya, he went and started doing the shraddha. Sun and the moon they got shocked! What is this? Krishna is supposed to be doing this amavashya only tomorrow where we both meet, but he is doing one day earlier. We should go and remind him tomorrow is amavasya. Both of them came and said, “Oh Lord tomorrow is amavasya. You are doing it today. You forgot the tithi”. KRISHNA looked up and said, “What is amavasya? Sun and the moon meeting; you both are meeting. Today is amavasya. Done”!!
Understand. I'll tell you the science of how he did it. All stars reflect in your inner space. The blue Raman’s effect is your restless minds deflection. Anybody, you can look through the Raman’s effect and see the stars will have the capacity to look through your Raman’s effect and alter the reflections of those stars in you. Please understand reflections of those stars in you, is responsible for the deflection and the restlessness which is created in you and that is responsible for the flow of your life. If somebody can look through the deflections and restlessness of your mind, and alter the reflections of the grahas, naturally your life can be altered. The flow of your life can be changed and you will have totally different life.
The science of seeing the reflection of the cosmic stars in the macro cosmic body and predicting your future is horoscope. The science of altering the reflection of micro cosmic stars in the macrocosm and making that in tune with what you want in your life is the science of giving boon: Kalpataru. That is what exactly I do in the kalpataru. I look into your eyes stop the deflection and restlessness created by this Raman Effect in your inner space, the microcosm. See the reflection of the stars where the grahas are standing then I ask you what do you want. The moment you say what do you want, I say alright, ‘Tathastu’. So it be! All the grahas suddenly alter themselves and change.
As Krishna wanted, the moment Krishna wanted amavasya happened. The moment these things are wanted, all right let him have it. Immediately the grahas alter and stand as you requested or what you wanted; then simply that happens in your life.
Krishna did the same thing. He saw in his inner space, saw the reflection of the sun and the moon in him, beyond the Raman's effect and he just looked in. And he saw the sun and the moon were supposed to meet tomorrow. Just looked in and felt let the amavasya happen, let both of them meet. The meeting has started happening and he started giving shraddha. When the meeting has happened in the inner space, it has to happen in the outer space. Both of them landed and meeting has happened. Amavasya was preponed!
The Raman’s effect in the outer world also happens in the inner world by the constant deflection of your thoughts. In the outer world Raman’s effect creates the blue light, blue colour. The inner world effect of that same thing creates a black light. That’s why when you look in you see the black colour, darkness. Maybe we can have our name of the inner Raman effect, Maya effect. Maya effect which constantly deflects diffuses the restlessness. If you can look through the Maya effect, you will see the stars, the reflection of those cosmic stars in the microcosm and alter those things as you want and change your life as you want.
Understand, these are not just some stories, mystical things. It is practical way to change your day to day life as you want. Just yesterday one of our devotee went to a very famous astrologer. He is a most famous astrologer in Bharat. All of you may be aware that 90% of the Bharatns believe in horoscope and astrology. He is the most famous astrologer. More costlier than the greatest criminal lawyers of the country. One of our devotee he went for his purpose. Suddenly that astrologer saw the mala my photo and then started talking about me and then suddenly it seems he said, “studying my horoscope and astrology and all the timings, it is proved he is incarnation. Because he is incarnation only, he is still alive otherwise 32 is the time. He has made it very clear 32 is his age. He should have been dead but just in a very simple way such a strong law of life was changed by him.
Such an ordinary scandal, a small problem only came and he changed the whole course of his life and law and stared expressing. It seems he said, till 32 he was only expressing only the energies of sadguru; a enlightened mater. Now he is going to express the energies of an incarnation. Actually I am seeing that is happening. I am seeing that is happening. No, I was really....You see, usually I don’t go to astrologers. I don’t send people to astrologers. I don’t big way promote it but I was shocked how precisely he predicted. And he said, just by the tapas power, not only he did not die he just made the whole; he changed the whole course of life and Maya and survived the whole thing. Just like that he came out. And he says at least he should have had some bone fracture, some serious accident, even that did not happen. So beautifully he came out.
And still he doesn’t know the fact I encashed on whole Maya. And now the world will know how through this scandal all the positive things I am going to create, I am creating. Let’s keep that as suspense let us not, that will be the climax.
See, they started comedy scene. Just now we started the fight scene. And now there is now going to beautiful romance then climax. We should not open the climax now itself. We need little suspense. And this movie will run for 1000's of years. Screen play, direction, producer, hero everything is one person.
That is why all the stars are acting as the hero wants.
So anyhow, the astrologer said, it seems after that “I have to come to the ashram just to take the blessings of Swamiji”. When I heard the last words he wants to touch my feet and take my blessings, I said, “Oh God! Then the guy is honest in his prediction”. See if he has said just for the social courtesy, all the good words to encourage our devotee or not to hurt our devotee sentiment then he could have stopped with that.
After the whole prediction he said, “I wanted to come and get the blessings of Swamiji . Please get his appointment. I know for sure He is an incarnation. Nobody else could have stood and changed the course of the grahas so easily so casually with such a small thing" and he says the effect which is supposed to be not even 1% has happened. He just changed practically 99% more that 99%”.
Actually you guys will see not only I changed negativity and I made the whole thing into positivity, now I will show. The science is just do dharana and raise yourself beyond the effect of Maya and automatically the grahas will alter them self.
We will enter the deeper techniques and technology of dharana in the next sutras, in the next satsangs, through the Patanjali's yoga sutras
I bless you all to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda!
Thank you
PYS 108 Meditation – Magnificient state of Bliss

DURATION: 26:42
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the centers who are sitting with us now live. I welcome all the cities, satsang centers who are sitting with us in two way and the cities and centers who are sitting with us through webinar around the world. Today’s subject for the satsang 'Meditation - Magnificent state of Bliss' As I said I am speaking on Vibhooti Pada 3rd chapter; today is 3rd chapter 2nd verse and 108th sutra of Patanjali’s yoga sutras; ‘tatra pratyaya ikatanata dhyanam’ ‘tatra pratyaya ikatanata dhyanam’
Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as: An unbroken flow of knowledge about that object is dhyana. Swami Prabhavananda translates as: Meditation is an unbroken flow of thought towards the object of concentration. Swami Sachidananda translates as: Dhyana is the continuous flow of cognition toward that object. Osho translates as: Dhyan, contemplation is the uninterrupted flow of the mind to the object.
I will translate this word dhyan as raising the frequency to the certain level; the object on which the meditation is happening and the object which is meditating, both of them lose their boundary and becoming one with each other. This is what I will call as dhyana. Please understand I am not just translating. I am giving you the exact meaning. Dhyana means for example if I am meditating, doing dhyaana on this cloth; raising the mind to certain frequency where the mind and this cloth loses the idea of boundary and they disappear into some space where there is no difference; where there is no two exists. It is all about one.
Please understand if you translate dhyana in a very ordinary way like a flow of the mind towards the object in uninterrupted way and all that, it is almost you can come to the conclusion if your mind uninterrupted way flows towards this kerchief, it is meditating on this kerchief, this cloth. No! Then you can meditate on anything but that will not lead to enlightenment. Please understand you becoming intensely concentrated on the kerchief is not going to lead you to enlightenment. That is not going to lead you to enlightenment then what is the use of meditating on this kerchief? You need to know the exact meaning of the meditation.
The word dhyana means raising your frequency, the minds frequency to certain level where you…. means the mind and the object on which the mediation is being done both of them lose its boundary and become one. Means all oneness is enlightenment. Please understand if you meditate on this kerchief the mind loses the boundary and becomes the kerchief that is not dhyana. Kerchief and mind both should lose their boundaries and become one. That oneness is what I call dhyana. Please understand it is one of the important sacred secret; unfortunately all orthodox translations have missed it. If you have read orthodox many translations you will understand what I am saying.
When you use the word mind flowing uninterrupted way towards an object is dhyana, what you will make out? You will think, ‘Oh if my mind flows uninterrupted way towards this kerchief it is dhyana’. No it is not! Dhyana is a state where your mind and the object on which you are meditating both of them lose their boundary. That is the space where you can experience enlightenment. Even if the one thing, either the mind or the object if any one retain their boundary; Samadhi, enlightenment cannot happen. If both of them lose the boundary, whatever may be the object on which you are meditating you are enlightened.
I will give you the difference between the so called orthodox understanding of dhyana and what I am revealing the sacred secret as dhyana. There’s a story in the traditional literatures of Hinduism; story of a Rishi Bharata. This rishi was supposed to be a renunciant staying in the banks of a river. But one day he saw a deer dying giving birth to a small child, baby deer; whatever word you use; calf or baby deer. And this guy got very much attached to this baby deer and he started taking care. Because no mother he started taking care. Slowly, slowly, slowly the attachment grew so much, at the time of death this Bharata was continuously thinking about that deer, worried about that deer; so attached to the deer he died and took birth as a deer and came back to live with the deer. This is what will happen if you understand the word meditation or dhyan in so called old way.
What happened here? The uninterrupted flow of mind of Bharata towards one object has happened. But finally what is the result of that? He has to take the birth of deer and come back to live with the deer. No…. that is not dhyana. That is not meditation. Meditation means where the mind which is meditating and the object on which the meditation is done both lose its boundary. When the boundaries are lost you experience Samadhi, the extraordinary powers and siddhis and realizations.
I will give you another one example. One suppressed class person, so called untouchable, wanted to have initiation and want to meditate on God but that village guru is not interested in initiating him. He said no. I will not initiate a suppressed low cast person. So that this low cast person made an idea. Every day that guru early morning will go to the river bank to take bath. So he was observing, one day that guru by mistake slipped for some reason. Then he immediately chanted Ram Ram. Usually in Bharatn villages if you slip or fall or sneeze they will chant God’s name. So this guy thought, ‘yes this is a nice idea. I will go and lie down in the steps of the river early morning. So naturally this guru in the early morning darkness he will not see me and he will step on me and he will chant the name Ram Ram. So I will take his feet touching my head as initiation and word he utters as a mantra. So he goes and lies down with this plan.
But naturally that guru is not an enlightened guy. He did not chant that Ram naam last time with awareness. So many people were around him so he chanted Ram naam. Now early morning darkness, nobody is there, he was all alone coming to the river to take bath. Plan almost worked out. That guy really put the foot on this low cast person’s head, slipped. But unconsciously he shouted ‘buffalo you buffalo what are you doing here’ he shouted. So anyhow the disciple cannot say no, no, no. Please change the word and give me the Ram name, Ram Ram. No. The disciple was a courageous guy, intelligent guy. He decided I will take his feet touching my head as initiation and the word he uttered buffalo as the mantra and he sits with the courage and intelligence and confidence, starts raising his frequency of the mind towards the object buffalo.
Please understand it is not uninterrupted flow of the mind. It is raising the frequency of the mind where the object and the mind both of them lose their boundaries and he experienced that. And the divine appeared in the form of the golden buffalo and his mind and the buffalo idea both of them lost the boundary and the high frequency was experienced by him as Samadhi. Then the local village festival they are trying to bring the deity out of the temple. He sees the deity in the buffalo form. The priest was trying his best to get the deity out. It’s not coming out for some reason. They were all shocked. Why the deity is not coming out. Then this low cast man he shouts ‘ehh it’s because the buffalo’s horns are stuck in the doorway. Little lower it’. He goes and lowers it and immediately deity comes out.
Means, please understand, the power of object and the mind losing its boundary and vibrating in same frequency. It’s a subtle difference, but an important difference. Please understand; subtle but an important difference. It is a very important truth. This is the sacred secret hidden in this sutra which needs to be revealed. In every sutra the sacred secrets are hidden. Understand dhyana is not just your mind flowing uninterrupted way towards an object. No. Dhyana is raising your frequency of the mind to a certain level where your mind and the object on which your mind is meditating, both of them lose their boundary and merge into the oneness. If the oneness is not the base, meditation leads to unconscious sufferings. Meditation means the constantly being connected to some object. What is the use? No. That’s no way going to help you. That’s not going to help you.
So, the sacred secret behind the word dhyan has to be understood so that the right practice can happen. I tell you right understanding of the country law is important to run the country. Right understanding of the cosmic law is important to experience the cosmos. These are cosmic laws. A small misunderstanding or misinterpretation or wrong understanding will lead to misery not to one person or two person 1000s of people. That is why I warn you again and again and again. Listen to those great secrets; internalize these great secrets with lot of care because the cosmic law, the ideas which you internalize is going to play a major role the way in which you think, the way in which you work, the way in which you do the strategy planning about your life. Wrong strategy is not only dangerous for you, dangerous for everybody.
Let us enter into the technical terms of this sutra. tatra pratyaya ikatanata dhyanam. Pratyaya, the word pratyaya can be translated as cognition, awareness principle, awareness perceiving; different words. I will translate that word pratyaya as raising the frequency to the level where the object and the mind which is meditating, both of them lose its independent boundaries. Please understand if you think dhyana is concentrating on one object you will get into lot of disturbances lot of problems. Many of the western psychotherapists who started working on the inner space consciousness including this positive thinking and all got into lot of problems. I have seen these people who teach positive thinking ‘stop worrying start living’ these kind of ideas and if you see their personal life, they are filled with depression because now they have one more worry; how to stop worrying. It’s like people take sanyas, celibacy vow to achieve enlightenment. Finally after few years how to maintain the celibacy vow becomes a major main focus than enlightenment. That’s a wrong space to be in.
It’s like you get into a train to reach Delhi. By the time, you get so attached to your train and you brag about your train so much to the whole world, now the whole priority and everything to become how to be inside the train, not to reach the Delhi. Then you decide ‘ehh whether the train goes to Delhi or this side, that side; I will sit in the train itself and we will have to do something to be in the train forever because to the whole world I declared and claimed this is my train and all these things.’ Now you yourself will fix somebody to stop the train and break the railway track so that the train does not reach Delhi. You are there in the train all the time. This is what I call perversion.
Please understand I have seen people getting perverted in the name of dhyan. That’s the most sad part; most sad part. The purpose is lost. It’s really sad. I have seen this people in the name of dhyan all kinds of foolish ideas being taught. Understand flowing towards certain object can never be called as dhyan. That can lead to more and more irritation, agitation, suffering, restlessness. Raising your frequency where your mind and the object loses its boundaries is dhyan. That is dhyan; where you have intense joy and peace, bliss. Normally if you meditate if you meditate, if concentrate on just some object what will happen? Your mind will become that object maybe maximum. But your mind is not created out of that object. So even if your mind becomes that object it will not have peace. It will not be contented.
For example my mind even if it concentrates on this kerchief and becomes this kerchief, it’s not going to feel homely, it’s not going to feel settled, it’s not going to feel the moksha; because my mind is not created out of this kerchief. So when will my mind feel the moksha, Samadhi, homely? Samadhi means becoming the origin. Sama adi; adi means the origin, source. Sama means becoming that. When will that happen to me? If I raise my mind to a certain frequency where not only my mind loses its boundary, the kerchief the object also loses its boundary. That is where the sama adi happens. I will feel homely, settled. Means the mind has returned to the origin or the source from which it came out or created.
So the understanding about dhyana should be proper so that you can experience the next step, Samadhi. The understanding of dhyana is wrong, then Samadhi can never happen in you. Even if you are put in Samadhi; means in Sanskrit we use this word for two meaning; being buried also is called as samadhi and achieving the enlightenment is also called Samadhi. If you have not understood the word dhyan properly even if you are buried you are not going to achieve Samadhi. If you understand the word dhyan properly even if you are buried you will be in Samadhi. There’s a big difference.
The sacred secret you need to understand in this sutra is, raise the frequency of the mind to a level where not only your mind loses its boundary, the object on which you are meditating, that also loses its boundary. And both enter into the essence from where both came out. Dhyana is raising the mind to a level where my mind and the object, kerchief, on which the meditation is happening, both of them lose the boundary and become one with the frequency from where both came out. That is what will give the eternal peace, the homeliness, sama adi, becoming one with the origin source.
So, I wanted you to contemplate on this sacred secret and how you are missing this one word dhyana and doing many mistakes in your life. Just contemplate on this one idea. I don’t want to give you too much words today. This one sacred secret can solve many of your problems. Because whole life, whole day, you are concentrating on something. If you are concentrating with this clarity your day to day life itself can become nithya dhyana. If you are not having this understanding even your nithya dhyaana will not be a dhyana. It will be just some concentration leads to more restlessness. So understand this and do your dhyana. Do your nithya dhyaana, do your life based on this understanding. I request you all to have this understanding in your dhyaana.
And I bless you all to achieve, live, experience, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. 26:31
PYS 109 Ashtanga Yoga: Samadhi

DURATION: 47:26
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees and disciples sitting around the world at this moment, 292 places, 192 cities, 22 countries. Now we have an automatic information. Whoever logs in, the number of country, city, places we know. God! We actually expected from Mahashivaratri in 108 places around the world we will sit and create the eN effect. Now I am very confident from Mahashivaratri we will sit in 1008 places. Because yesterday the press meet was attended 551 places, 314 cities, 45 countries. So for Shivaratri instead of sitting in 108 cities we will be sitting in 1008 cities and 108 countries all over the world.
And I tell you 2012, 12/12/12, was the day we were planning that 10000 people will sit together and levitate. Now I am saying March 2nd this Shivaratri we will have 10000 people sitting all over the world and levitating creating the eN effect, this Shivaratri itself; almost one and a half years we preponed, more than one and a half years we preponed. This Shivaratri itself we will have more than 10000 people physically with me and all over the world, totally at least 10000; and experiencing the kundalini awakening. We decided to take on negativity, destroy negativity. And I thank all the Bharatn media and international media again for reporting so truthfully, honestly, the whole press meet. From today morning I have been showered from all, the reports from all over the world, everywhere the whole vibration the whole understanding has become different.
Let’s enter into the satsang, the today’s satsang. We are entering into the 109th Patanjali’s yoga sutra and in the 3rd chapter 3rd verse; subject is ‘Samadhi’. I will enter into the sutra tad eva artha matra nirbhasam svarupa shunyamiva samadhih. Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as: when that dhyana gives up all forms and reveals only the meaning it is Samadhi. Swami Prabhavananda translates as: When in meditation true nature of the object shines forth not distorted by the mind of the perceiver; that is absorption. Swami Sachidananda translates as: Samadhi is the same meditation when there is the shining of the object alone as if devoid of form. Osho translates as: Samadhi is when the mind becomes one with the object.
Again I wanted to dig out and reveal the sacred secret in this sutra. Please understand the sacred secret in this sutra is revealed in the technical term svarupa shunyam nirbhasam svarupa shunyam iva samadhih. When the distance and difference in the name and form and substance between the mind and the object on which the mind was meditating, not only dissolves, disappears into the highest frequency, without even the trace of the mind and the object meditated upon, the space experienced is Samadhi.
I am also enjoying…. please understand, because I am not talking I am also enjoying. Still I remember, I can’t make five words at a stretch in English, make a statement with five words in English. I do not know how these technical terms are getting revealed. I am also enjoying. I can assure all of you one thing. Please understand just because I do not know the language and now this extraordinary technical truths are being revealed in the language which I never learnt or studied, from the language which I never learnt or studied, I can assure you 100%, these are pure truths expressing without any conditioning of the mind or the bio memory or the body with which I created my life.
Please understand the space from which the words came out of Patanjali’s mouth, from that same exact space, honestly, without any corruption the words are coming out. You are fortunate enough…. not only….no…. not you are…. just you…. we are fortunate enough to hear and enjoy those words. Because I neither learnt Sanskrit nor learnt English and I am talking in English on the scripture which is written in Sanskrit. I wanted all of you to know I am also excited everyday for morning satsang. No really, otherwise why do you think I will sacrifice my morning sleep? That is the only pleasure I was having in my life. I will not get up in the morning. I will get up slowly by 7 o clock, will not even take bath, just brush the teeth, go round the banyan tree and be walking around as I want when I want. That was the only pleasure, means, lying down in the morning. I tell you why do you think I gave up even that? I am also enjoying the morning satsang. I am also excited. I am waiting because understand I am also learning yoga sutras every day morning. I am also learning.
I will clearly describe Samadhi. The stuff out of which your mind is made and the stuff out of which the object is made on which your mind is meditating or contemplating, the both stuffs disappearing into one ultimate space, frequency, where even the trace of the mind or the mind stuff or the object or the object stuff exists in its any form, that space is Samadhi. The only difference between dhyana and Samadhi; I am revealing you the important sacred secret or the cosmic law; in dhyana, mind and the object loses its name and form into certain frequency which is beyond the mind and the object meditated upon. In Samadhi not only the mind and the object loses its form, even the stuff out of which the mind is made or the stuff out of which the object is made, even that stuff loses its form name frequency and dissolves into the highest space and it is non retrievable; non return zone. In dhyana the possibility for returning exists. But in Samadhi the possibility for returning does not exist. Please understand the possibility for returning does not exist in Samadhi. It is non-return zone.
Samadhi is not end of your spiritual life. Please understand I want you to understand Samadhi is the beginning of your spiritual life. Till Samadhi you can just get back to the beginning point, means you can lose everything. I have seen people losing just before Samadhi. I have seen people even losing after satori. After satori people just lose. But Samadhi is the only space where you experience the non return zone. I wanted you to understand this detail. I will give you the difference between dhyana and Samadhi so that this sacred secret sinks in you very deeply.
Come on Vimala Devi, Redondo Beach center; see your paduka vibhooti is coming. In few minutes you will have vibhooti from your paduka. All right they will have it now. Side by side the job is going on... one side...you see I could see like a octopus, a cosmic octopus, this body is being used which is residing in Samadhi now… it is actually a fulfillment of my fantasy. I always used to feel I should listen to all these great scriptures from somebody who is in that state. At least I am fulfilling others fantasies. Of course now I am also listening; so no problem. I am also feeling fulfilled.
I could see the body is in Samadhi and all these words coming out and not only the words are coming out and everywhere around the world the people who are feeling connected, these words are being taken to them and it is becoming experience in their system. I wanted to let you know, see now I felt very clearly, because I was seeing her for few seconds and she was intensely connected to me, Redondo Beach center Vimala Devi. I could see very clearly whatever words I am uttering is becoming reality inside her space. That’s a reason I uttered these words vibooti is coming. You will see now it is coming. In her space this word is becoming reality. 1000s of people sitting around the world as on now 342 place, 221 city and 22 country; these words are just going and becoming reality in them. The explanation about Samadhi is putting the seed of Samadhi in them. Understand a complete right technical understanding of any sacred secret concealed in the sacred text immediately puts the seed in you to experience that sacred secret as reality. So as on now this moment 342 places, 221 cities, 22 countries, the seed of Samadhi is being sowed into 1000s of people.
I wanted to define Samadhi once more in a very clear way with a deep understanding. Dhyana means I will give you the example of you meditating on me. Dhyana means the idea of your name and form and my name and form will disappear into certain experience where you will not remember your individual identity or my individual identity. This is dhyana. Samadhi means in a space where the stuff out of which you are made and stuff out of which I am made both disappear only that space exists and it is impossible for you to get back to the original state in which you were before the Samadhi or for me it is impossible to get back to the space in which I was before the Samadhi. That space is what I call Samadhi.
Now I have sown the seed of dhyana and Samadhi in all of you. All I want you to do, try to go on rethinking. I am using the word rethinking because no other word. In Sanskrit we have a word called manana. Manana means soaking your being in this sacred truth. It’s like a how these flies go and sit in the cup of honey and try to sip the honey. Finally because their legs are smeared with the honey, they can’t use their wings to fly and disappear into the honey. Of course they die but in this case you will not die. When you sit on manana, means rejoicing in the sacred truths, they will be so joyful, ecstatic, all your senses will be smeared with that ecstasy of the truth. Your mind, wing, will lose its power to take you out of that honey and dissolve into the joy of honey. Please understand here you are not dying you are becoming immortal. The example of honey and flies, they die. But here you become immortal because the honey here is not dead object. It is living energy; it is living, independent intelligence.
All I want you to do is contemplate, contemplate, contemplate. Do manana of this truth if you can. These few statements I made, the technical sacred secrets I made now, put it in your iPod, put it in the rewinding mode. Continuously let it repeat, let it repeat, let it repeat. When you meditate on me, your identity, name and form, my identity name and form disappearing into certain frequency is meditation dhyana. But the stuff out of which you are made and the stuff out of which I am made both of them disappearing into certain space never to come back as they were before, disappearance, is Samadhi. Just go on contemplating, do manana on this word; that’s enough. You don’t need anything else. Understand your mind is nothing but words. So if the sacred secrets are again and again and again hammered on your mind, simply your mind dissolves into it and experiences the sacred reality or the reality expressed through the sacred secrets. I am just in ecstasy everyday because I feel I am honestly doing the job for which I assumed the body. I really feel I am doing the job for which I assumed the body.
Let’s study deeply this sutra; tad eva artha matra nirbhasam svarupa shunyamiva samadhih. That meditation verily having the purpose alone, shining forth and the form or the essence becomes empty into that final highest space never to return to its form before Samadhi is Samadhi. The whole Vedic consciousness is centered on this one word Samadhi. It is so sacred, so secret, still this word is fresh even for me. Please understand it is too sacred for anybody even to think they know it. It is too sacred for anybody even to think they know the meaning and I am here very honestly saying to all of you still this word excites me. Still I feel I am new to Samadhi. Then I don’t know what you are supposed to feel. No really that is the reason I can go on and on and on, explain the various dimensions and aspects of Samadhi.
I can tell you one thing, in you even now there is certain space which is residing in Samadhi. You have two method of reaching that space. Either catch some object outside of you, whether the form of a chosen deity or your guru and go on doing the manana. Sometime even a concept is enough. You may not need the form of a guru or form of a chosen deity, ishta devata. You may not need all that. Even a concept, a truth, satya is enough. A sacred secret is enough, a sacred truth is enough. You can take up even this sacred truth, sacred secret on Samadhi. You can take up any one; go on doing manana. Then because of that binary experience, zero one zero one zero one zero one; that is the way the meditation will happen. You will remember you and the sacred truth. Sacred truth and you, zero one zero one that binary experience will raise you to such a high frequency, it will explore and disappear into the Samadhi space. That is one way.
There is a second way just you go on unclutching in your inner space and dropping, dropping, dropping, dropping, dropping, dropping, to the deepest space of you and disappearing into the Samadhi space. In this two anyone is possible. Or you can even do both whenever you feel taste for any one thing. Please understand I am breaking one of the big bondage. Usually this orthodox so called yoga guru go on insisting on you to pick up any one path either working with an object or just diving into the subject. I give you the freedom, not only I give you the freedom Patanjali gives you the freedom, if you are working just with object or subject, you will feel little bored and depressed at times.
I can tell you one thing honestly. When my people will become enlightened I do not know when but I can be 100% sure and even at this moment if death comes I will be so free, I will not have any load on my conscience, I never made anybody to suffer. Always my people were joyful even till their enlightenment. I never put my people in depression. I never taught depression. I never insisted depression. I never promoted depression in the name of spiritual seeking. God!!Why are you so much bothered about even enlightenment. The idea of enlightenment is supposed to be increasing the joy in you; from joy to joy to joy to joy to bliss. In the name of yoga too much of sadness has been promoted in the cosmos.
I tell you not only the experience of Samadhi, even path to Samadhi is bliss. The object or the truth you need to contemplate for Samadhi itself will be a bliss. Whether you choose an object and enter into that binary frequency zero one zero one zero one and dissolve into Samadhi or you go on unclutching and dive into Samadhi, it will be a great pleasure and joy and ecstasy and bliss. These sad gurus always teach to take one path. I tell you; have both. When you are tired of one part one path, just relax in the other one. When you are tired of being in zero one, zero one, zero one, relax into your own unclutching. When you are tired of your own unclutching then enjoy this zero one zero one zero one. Have choice variety and enjoy. I tell you anything you do with joy directly will drop you into Samadhi.
It’s time we read the menu. It is enough. It’s time to eat the food, experience Samadhi. Just keep your hands on chin mudra and keep it on your knees, sit comfortably in the unclutched mood. Close your eyes. ommmmmmmm ommmmmmmm ommmmmmmmmm ommmmmmmmmmhreeeeeeeeeeeeeem ommmmmmmhreeeeeeeeem ommmmmmmhreeeeeem ommmmmmhreeeeem ommmmmmmmmhreeeeeeeeem om shanti shanti shantihi
I bless you all to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you. 47:14

Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.trayam ekatra samyamah
As on now 544 places, 185 cities, 25 countries are sitting with us live. It’s almost like all the seekers all over the world are settling down every day morning. And I am seeing the map. In all continents except the Iceland, Greenland where there are no human beings everywhere... God!
My blessings through this I am inaugurating the Malaysia satsang center. I will be there alive and the divine presence will be there with you all. It will do good to all of you and to the whole Malaysia. My blessings; we will start the satsang. It is so funny to see arathi is done in one country and bell is rung in the other country. They forgot to ring the bell and he is ringing the bell here and chanting the mantra and arathi is happening there. No… really there is no time and space for enlightened master. It is being literally proved. I don’t know how many 1000s of miles the difference. Master is sitting somewhere and the center is being inaugurated, 100s of people, more than 200 devotees are sitting and one is doing arathi in one place, the other one is ringing the bell and chanting the mantra in another one place and both are being coordinated. I am seeing the arathi being done and I am hearing the sound and the mantra and they are also seeing the arathi being done and mantra being chanted and bell being rung; naimisharanya with video conferencing, the modern day naimisharanya, modern day naimisharanya with video conferencing.
I assure the world, understand, with this modern day facilities at least 10 lakh people I will make them enlightened. I will make them enlightened. Now I am confident I can see very clearly how all over the world I can see the intensity with which we are spreading and the intensity with which this great science, the science of living, the science of being, the science of unclutching is spreading and the enthusiasm, energy, wow! So this moment 201 cities, 645 places, 23 countries and this number is just increasing, increasing, increasing.
Before entering into the subject some questions. This is from Nithya Kripanidhi. “For yogis who are currently doing 108 surya namaskars daily, is it ok to practice eN kriya immediately after doing the surya namaskar? Also on days that we don’t have enough time to do both 108 surya namaskar and eN kriya what are the pros and cons of doing 108 surya namaskars versus eN kriya?” Kripanidhi, if you have time do both 108 surya namaskar and eN kriya. If you don’t have time I will prefer eN kriya than 108 surya namaskar. eN kriya will do much more good than 108 surya namaskar. So go for eN kriya.
So, “Dear Swamiji” this is a question from Nithya Shantini, Seattle, “Every day when I sit for meditation and your discourse I feel the utmost bliss and peace. I will feel this throughout the night and into my sleep. The next morning I have to go to school again but I feel bored with it. First thing in the morning I have to sit for math class and I can’t help but be incredibly bored. What do I do? Yesterday you said that once one experiences kundalini awakening we should take at least three months off for it to settle. Do I do that with school? Please help.” Nithya Shantini, Seattle Nithya shantini; are you there? Can you raise your hand? Ok. I think she is not there. The father can go and… Charana you can give the… give my reply to her. “Please go to the school properly. Taking three months off you can do during your vacation. Now do the school properly.” Please Charana please be seated and give this information to her. Tell her to do the school properly now and later on she can take off. This is not the time for taking off. Please be seated.
And Atlanta center is making a home temple, home garbha mandir and they are building a temple. They want my blessings; my blessings to the Atlanta center. Soon it will become a jagrat devasthana; living temple. And new center opening in Malaysia today the 3rd February 2011; the center is in north of Malaysia. Center is in Penang Island in the heart of George Town. Will be a meditation yoga studio; around 200 devotees are there this inauguration and my blessings. I already sent paduka and my blessings to all the devotees to make this center, for making this center as reality, who worked for this center; my blessing for Penang and Malaysia, the devotees who are opening the center today my blessings to all of you.
God! It’s almost like first I have to finish this introduction and center inaugurations and temples and every day. Now let’s enter into the satsanga. Today 110th sutra, 3rd chapter 4th verse; the subject is Samyama, very powerful word. The word needs a clear definition. Samyama: technology through which the extraordinary experiences and powers which are in your consciousness, is expressed through your body and mind to the world, is samyama. Please understand your consciousness is all powerful, all knowing, all pervading. But preparing your body and mind to radiate and express some of those great experiences and expressions, some of those great all pervading all knowing experiences and expressing those powers through your body and mind, that technology is what I all samyamaha.
Samyama is the applied science of pure yoga science. See in science there is two part; one pure science like a theory of gravity, theory of relativity. All this is pure science. Applied science means using those laws theories in practical life. So till now whatever you learnt dharana, dhyana, Samadhi; all this is like a pure science. Samyama is applied science. Applied science brings value to pure science. Understand person who knows only pure science, means the theories, who never learnt the applied science, will always be beggar in consciousness.
If these powers are not supposed to be experienced or expressed then Patanjali will not be talking about samyama. Understand Patanjali only says it is a hindrance for enlightenment. But after achieving it, those things when it playfully expresses through you to inspire the people to achieve enlightenment, it is a great technology. The great incarnations who landed in the planet earth and expressing these powers so casually like Puttaparthi Saibaba, Kalki Bhagawan. Understand I am standing by all of them. The great incarnations on the planet earth who are expressing these great powers and this applied science and inspiring the world to practice and promote this pure teachings, the pure science.
From the time immemorial Krishna materialized all kinds of stones to…..all kinds of precious stones to a fruit seller. Just he accepted the puffed rice which Kuchela brought and gave him the boon and the wealth was showering. Materializing, teleporting, healing and blessing is Hindu tradition, Vedic tradition. This is applied science. Levitation is the age old Vedic tradition. This is applied science. Here I am very clearly standing by all the incarnations who are materializing, healing and teleporting and giving boons to devotees and disciples, using all the applied science to inspire people towards the pure science.
Arey, pure science can be kept alive only if the applied science is used in the world. Why will you bother to learn about the theory of gravity or theory of relativity if it not going to be directly useful to your life? Come on. Why will you learn? So applied science is the direct utility of the pure science. See even before I started materializing, teleporting, when people asked me my opinion about the gurus who teleport or materialize I always tell no.... I don’t have capacity so I don’t have a right to comment. Now that capacity or ability is expressing. Even now I am not pride about or egoistic about it. I am saying please understand even before I was expressing all these powers take out my discourses and see three years or four years before, when I was not casually expressing these powers. Take out those discourses and see my reference when people ask me about the incarnations who express these powers of materializing, teleporting, levitation, healing and all that. I always referred them with lot of reverence. I always said see I don’t have capacity. I have no right to talk about it. Now the divine is expressing through my body; it’s ok that’s it.
You see all the juicy parts of our religion is this applied science. If this applied science is wrong.... of course it is wrong for the people who are not yet enlightened; not for the people who are casually playing with it, who are casually playing with it. So I support all the gurus who are expressing this extraordinary applied science of Vedic tradition and inspiring people towards the pure science. Understand there are some people who use this kind of extraordinary powers but they don’t inspire people towards the pure science. I say maybe that is one small trouble. But that does not mean all these great gurus Saibaba, Kalki Bhagwan; all of them not only they use this applied science they are inspiring people towards the pure science.
Expressing these great powers like materializing, teleporting, healing, giving boons is part of pure Hinduism representing yoga Vedanta tradition and all the great masters wanted these great powers to be expressed and people to be inspired towards the pure science. What these guys are talking? Now I am saying if Patanjali really wants these powers to be expressed, if Patanjali really honestly felt the samyama should be applied, I bless all the people around the world who are sitting with us now; you guys will experience kundalini awakening.
This is the solid proof Patanjali wants it. He wants a live religion where with a childlike innocence these powers are casually played with, showed to people and people are inspired to follow the pure science. If you have the ability to do all this, perform all this extraordinary powers and you show, then you tell this is not pure spirituality; then at least we can say ok, this guy is little honest.
All right, Samyama is the technology the science where all these great extra ordinary powers from your consciousness is experienced and expressed to the world through your body and mind. Samyama is the essence of Hindu tradition. Understand it is the core of Vedic tradition. I tell all my disciples, devotees and my sanyasis, let it be on record. Here I am promoting samyama. Experience all extraordinary powers and experiences, express it to the world as much as you can and inspire people towards pure science.
Ramakrishna healed 1000s of people. He made in the same branch two color flowers to appear and 100s of references are there where he materialized, healed, gave boons. All the great masters and incarnations who are expressing these powers like healing…. see understand, see the practicality. Just by healing people how many 1000s, I made them meditate and transform their lives and live a pure spiritual life; how many 1000s have been transformed by this simple applied science power I am expressing… coming... getting vibhooti…. no harm. Who is being harmed by it? Nobody is harmed. Just playfully in a few places, some padukas, some deities are giving vibhooti but see…. understand how many millions are inspired.
718 cities and 215 cities and 718 places and 26 countries are sitting with us now. It is because of healing, the applied science, the power of samyama; because they experience levitation they experience this extraordinary powers like vibhooti materializing and they are experiencing the power of being blessed with the boons. So many are transforming everyday; millions are transforming all over the world. Here I am going to explain the powers of samyama everyday as per Patanjali. Not only going to express verbally going to express experientially the powers of samyama; learn this experientially. See the powers of samyama and go to the masters; only who has the capacity not just to talk; experientially show the powers of samyama. Only they know the science.
So understand here I am clearly standing by Hindu yogic Vedic tradition. Hindu yogis are always recognized, respected, revered, for the extraordinary samyama powers they express. See in Hinduism we never had theology seminaries. We created the ashrams where people are given training in this extraordinary mystery science where people are taught to levitate, where people are taught to materialize, where people are taught to make peoples intentions into reality. We are not theology seminaries. Just because they do not know the science of samyama they go on abusing samyama.
Let us enter into the science of samyama; Trayam ekatra samyamaha; the sutra 110th sutra in chapter three, fourth verse. Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as: when these three practice in regard to one object is samyama. Swami Prabhavananda translates this sutra as: when these three; concentration, meditation and absorption are brought to bear upon one subject they are called samyama. And swami Sachidananda translates as: the practice of these three; dharana, dhyana and Samadhi upon one object is called samyama. And Osho translates this as: the three taken together; dharana, dhyana and samadhi constitute samyama.
I will translate this word samyama as the technology through which concentration, contemplation and experiencing the pure consciousness where the meditator and meditated becomes one and experiencing the extraordinary experiences and powers and expressing it to the world is samyama. The technology through which you experience extraordinary powers and express it to the world is samyama.
So I bless you all to experience, achieve, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you. 26:03
Patanjali Yoga Sutrras 111 Samyama - Technology of Extraordinary Powers
DATE: February 4th 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 37:00
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees who are sitting around the world with us at this moment. Without even internet connection in the ashram just through Skype as on now 322 places, 130 cities and 19 countries are sitting with us and some of these countries are on two way with me. Dubai, Jaya Malaysia, Singapore, Los Angles, San Jose, Atlanta. They are all two way connection with me .I am seeing all of them doing pada puja. Dubai my blessings to you guys. I accept your pada puja and your sincere devotion and love. I am very happy and just now I have been informed in Taramangalam centre, they are sitting with us now live. Continuously enormous quantity of vibhooti is getting materialized out of paduka. They are removing, removing, removing. They say huge quantity is continuously pouring out in Taramangalam; my blessings to Taramangalam and come on now start you will see you will receive kumkum also.
It’s time we enter into satsang. Today’s subject is ‘Samyama the Technology of Extraordinary Powers.’ Patanjali’s yoga sutra 111 sutra in the 3rd chapter 5th verse; sutra is "tatjjayat prajna lokah". tatjjayat prajna lokah
Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as: through the attainment of the samyama comes light of knowledge.
Swami Prabhavananda translates this sutra as: through the mastery of samyama comes the light of knowledge.
Swami Sachidananda translates as: by the mastery of samyama comes the light of knowledge.
Osho translates this as: by mastering it the light of higher consciousness.
I will give my understanding my experience on this sutra. "tatjjyat prajna lokah". The keyword in this sutra in which the sacred secret is embedded, hidden is "Prajna". The word prajna should be understood very deeply prajnanam brahmah. We have mahavakya in the tradition prajnanam brahmam. Knowledge is reality. This word prajna if it is understood the confusions in the translation and understanding of samyama will be cleared. You need to understand this word prajna. As I explained yesterday samyama is the science of experiencing and expressing the extraordinary experiences and powers from the super consciousness through your body and mind. See, your super conscious has all powers. It is all pervading, all knowing, eternal but your body and mind needs to be prepared so that it can experience and express those extraordinary experiences and powers.
Please understand there are different category of people in the spiritual realm. Some who experienced extraordinary experiences and expressed those experiences; that’s all. They are called great vedantic enlightened masters like Raman Maharishi. He had one of an amazing super conscious experience through the samyama on death. A spontaneous samyama on death happened in him at the age of 16 and that’s it. He stayed in that experience for ever and gave that experience to many. There are some other masters; experienced extraordinary powers and expressed only those powers to the world like teleporting, materializing, appearing in new few places at a time; great yogis levitating .
I have seen many. I have heard of many. There are rare few incarnations who experienced the highest experiences and extraordinary powers and expressed both to the world through their body and mind. I want my sanyasis to experience all the highest experiences and powers and express it with the world. I do not want my sanyasis and my rishis to be just theologians. I am not running a seminary. It is a ugly word. No. I don’t want to you guys to be just theologians preparing seminary. I want you guys to be flowers of the mystery school. Theologians in the seminary, just like parrot memorizing words and repeating it blah blah blah no; I want you guys to be the flowers of the mystery school where you know experientially all the deepest secrets of life and you have ability to express the extraordinary powers of super consciousness.
Break the body and mind to make Yogic Body, Vedic Mind, eN-Life. Yogic Body, Vedic Mind, En living. Understand break the body and mind. You need to experience the deepest truths of body and mind. Your body and mind is like clay, everyday you can make as you want. All you need is just reclaim the superiority over your body and mind. It’s like you have some lands in your native place which you did not bother. You were working somewhere and somebody else is trying to occupy, all the ghosts, naturally all the eyes will fall on your land. But suddenly if you decide to go there and declare and put a board ‘it’s my land’. That's it nothing else. All the fellows will run away. Reclaim that’s all. Same way your bodies also when you don’t reclaim the tamasic devilish intellectual mind, it possesses your body. Please understand this… the worst abusal happening to your body and mind. Reclaim it. Consciously own it. Create as you want. Create Yogic Body, Vedic Mind, eN-Life; extraordinary experiences and powers.
Please understand samyama is the technology of extra ordinary experiences and powers. It is not just some useless beliefs. No. I will prove the samyama is an extraordinary science. I can give you simple technique now for you to discover the power of samyama. I am initiating all of you into this technique. Just have a plate or bowl of water, make a small dhruva grass or a needle to float on the water. Concentrate on it. Do samyama on it. Samyama means intensely put your awareness on that needle, after few minutes you will see your inner space is kind of entering into a mood where the idea of you and that needle is no more separate. The idea is slowly getting dissolved; idea slowly getting dissolved. Please understand at that moment when you feel the intense oneness with that needle or a grass give a command move right, left, straight, down; simple the dhruva, the grass or the needle or the object will listen to you. You can test today and send me the results by e-mail.
From today I will conduct all the satsangs like a regular class. I will give you one exercise every day. Work on it and send me your report. I will further answer, update, upgrade your understanding. From today I declare all our satsangs centers’ are branches of my mystery school where we will work on the great mysteries of Patanjali, samyama. Please understand especially if you have levitated even once, if you have experienced physical levitation even once you are ready for samyama. Your samyama will be intensely powerful. So you don’t need to be worrying whether you have the capacity for samyama or anything. So our satsang centers are not dry, dull, boring seminaries, theology seminaries. No. We are not theology seminaries. We are mystery school. We are Naimisharanya. Please understand we are not even a monastery. We are much more than a monastery. We are Naimisharanya. Naimisharanya means where these great truths are taught, experimented and people are made to experience it. People are made to experience it. So I want all of you to understand, experiment and experience this great truth.
By dharana dhyana Samadhi, please understand all this three put together is what we call samyama; by samyama the knowledge is achieved, lighting up of your consciousness happens. Understand you are human being with all extraordinary possibilities. That is what I call, you are God living in human body. All extraordinary possibilities exist in you; extraordinary physical and mental possibilities exist in you. Like simple training can make you float in the water, swim in water; same way very simple things of the life, very simple things of the life, please understand, very simple understandings in the life, very simple changes in the life can make you experience extraordinary experiences and powers and release it through the system; like acquiring wealth and health . All human beings should work to acquire at least few extraordinary powers, few extraordinary experiences; otherwise life is waste, life is waste. Don’t go to gurus who waste your time just making you listen more and more and more words and putting you in depression. Go to gurus who are giving you direct experiences and making you express extraordinary powers. Extraordinary powers prove that you are practicing authentic yoga, authentic Patanjali sutras.
If you are not experiencing and expressing extraordinary powers forget about it. Forget about those gurus. Extraordinary power is the landmark, qualification, milestone of Hindu yogic, vedantic tradition. All the masters who are remembered in Hindu, yogic vedantic traditions, have expressed extraordinary powers, not just experiences alone. The experience should express in the physical realm; that’s what I call powers. Just if people experience kundalini awakening in my presence, it is expressing extraordinary experiences; that’s it. But samyama is something more than that. Samyama is not only expressing extraordinary experiences, expressing casually extraordinary powers also. If the vibhooti is also coming then samyama is happening; the powers of samyama is getting expressed.
So now I can classify our centers. Our centers who are experiencing only Samadhi level and centers who are experiencing the samyama level of connection. I want all our centers to be the sincere mystery school. Let’s bring life with extraordinary experiences and powers as reality. Let’s bring life with extraordinary experiences and powers as reality. I can say one of the greatest lesson I myself learnt from this yogic tradition is the fellows who are just juggling with the intellectual words for this kind of people only beautifully Shankara sings "bhaja govindam bhaja govindam, govindam bhaja moodhamate, sampraapte sannihite kaale, nahi nahi rakshati tukrinjkarane". The tukrinjkarana, the grammar of Sanskrit will not help when death comes to you. Only the extraordinary experience and stability you have and the powers you achieved will stand by you, raise you to the higher levels. Extraordinary powers should be relinquished after achieving.
I have seen this fools idiots renouncing before even having. Ramakrishna says a very beautiful story; one miser merchant who sells puffed rice was selling puffed rice in a village religious festival. There was a temple festival, Vishnu festival. He was selling puffed rice. Many sadhus, bairagi sadhus came to the festival; many of them went to him for alms. He did not give even a handful of puffed rice. He said get lost, get lost. He was driving all of them, chasing them. But suddenly there was big storm. Even the temple priest asked for a handful of puffed rice for the deity. He said nothing doing get lost. But there was a storm, in that wind all the puffed rice was lifted and started flying. Now this guy can’t do anything. Then suddenly his great renunciation and devotion and spirituality is awakened. Narayana arpanamastu, Narayana arpanamastu. I offer all this things to Narayana, Narayana. Means what; renouncing because you can’t do anything. Ramakrishna retains the great innocence of the village. What a beggar has to renounce tell me…..only his begging bowl in which he has written his name 10 times; nothing else. So it is time we teach the world real renunciation is "have it and renounce it".
If you are renouncing the wealth, have wealth then renounce. If you are renouncing life first have life then renounce. So I have seen in my village next to my house there was one tailor shop. That fellow will have only one tailoring machine. If he starts stitching, whole world will know because of that sound dam dam dam dam. boing boing boing grrrr. All kinds of sound and he will put a very 3rd rate cheap grease. That grease smell almost like a punishment for all five senses; this huge sound and the grease smell. Morning around 8'o clock he will come and start that peddling wang wang trrr trrr. All sounds will come. After half an hour he will be almost like a donkey being overloaded and being beaten by the washer man. What will happen for ten minutes he will drag, drag, drag and after that you have to beat, then after five minutes he will lie down that’s it.
Same way this tailoring machine for half an hour it will drag brrr brrrr brrrr with all sounds and then finally he will give some big creech and stop and it will take for the tailor fellow for half an hour more to repair and start. Again after half an hour it will stop. The most funny part is after…. anyway after 1-2 hrs he cannot stitch with that machine. He will dump and go away to all different shops neighbor shops and sit and chat and not only that this fellows biggest pride is, he is the devotee of Ayyappa. So he claims I never close my shop; Ayyappa takes care. What is there to take carein that? There is nothing being stolen and he will go around and tell everybody ‘see I am Ayyappa's devotee and my shop is always open’. Nothing is there to take care. His whole shop is totally worthy of may be few hundred rupee and you can’t steal also anything and even if you steal it will not work.
And he had a bicycle, I know; no mudguard, no bell, no break. It’s barely two and a half bones .And its great art to drive that bicycle. But one good thing with that bicycle is you will not have any problem because the sound and the way that bicycle goes anybody who comes in front will be frightened and move out and give way. It’s almost like a pilot vehicle. How the police pilot vehicle goes with siren, no vehicle will come in front, like this only this cycle. This fellow will not lock his cycle anywhere; whether in the temple or outside his shop. Wherever he goes the cycle will be lying down, nobody will lock; he will never lock. Who will steal that? Nobody will steal. This kind of renunciation, it’s useless; useless renunciation. Renunciation and surrender should be intelligent and rich. First of all, have to share. Have to share or renounce; even the extraordinary powers.
Samyama: the capacity or the power, ability to experience the extraordinary experiences and powers and then either enjoy or renounce as you want. So understand…… but whether to live or leave or enlightened or the experience and express the extraordinary powers of consciousness; samyama is basic need. So through next sessions in the next sutras we will continue to explore, experience the deeper secrets of samyama-the technology of extraordinary powers. That’s the exact word I wanted to use. Samyama means the technology of extraordinary experiences and powers. We will explore as per Patanjali.
This moment 352 places and 140 cities and 23 countries are sitting with us. I bless all of you and initiate you into one technique of samyama today. Have bowl of water or water in plate make a grass dhruva grass or any grass to float, do samyama on it, intensely at least for 21 minute. By the time you feel that you are deeply connected to that object give instruction, command to move left, right or centre any way you want. You will see that object moves. Now I am initiating you all into this samyama. You will see it really works. So I request all the devotees to try this samyama process today and send me your experiences so tomorrow we will enter into the deeper and deeper levels of samyama. So from today we start the eN-mystery school all over the world.
I bless you all to achieve, experience, live, express and radiate the eternal bliss, Nithyananda.
Thank you.
Samyama - A Progression
DATE: February 5th 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION:
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. Before entering into today’s satsang one or two feed backs on samyama; yesterdays samyama sadhana, the practice of samyama which I initiated; I will take up only two three and comment. 100s of feedbacks are there. I will take some samples and comment on it. This is from Oman eN satsang center Sri Nithya Sri Priyan. “Beloved Swamiji eternal thanks for another of blessing samyama. By your grace today I was on my second attempt on samyama after the first during the process under Swamijis presence in IA December 2012. Stick moved well in left, right, down; in all directions on request.” Good.
And here is another one funny, very funny feedback from Satish. There is no center name. It’s Satish: “Pranam Swamiji as per your instruction I immediately tried the samyama with the dhruva grass and after sometime with your blessings I was able to turn a two inch piece of dhruva grass 360degrees by my will. But I had some doubt thinking that maybe my breath contributed to it.” mind comes here. So the next morning after a dose of eN kriya I tried it again under very controlled conditions making sure that not even my breath would disturb the grass. I could not do it maybe because I was in a hurry. Then I remembered that recently you mentioned that prana flows through the hand. So tried sending prana through my hand and lo and behold! I was able to turn the grass again as I want. My daughter was witness to that.”
Satish you don’t need to send a witness. I can be a witness. It’s a beautiful thing. Please understand in this whole process you need to understand two things. One; first you were able to move the grass 360degree as you want out of your will. Those moments you had a strong trust on me and my words. But the moment doubt entered maybe the air, breath, breeze or fluke; the devil, demon has entered in your system. So that demon was responsible for you not able to move the second time and the restlessness which is created by the demon. Of course again third time your vitarka, strong trust on my words ‘through hands the prana can be sent’. The next samyama worked on you. Satish you tried one more samyama on your own. It’s good. It is actually good and just because of the trust you tried the next samyama and automatically it worked.
So my blessings; the lesson which you need to learn from this experience is: put more energy on the aptha pramana and shastra pramana so that it can become atma pramana in you instead of wasting your brain in French fries and French philosophies. Don’t waste your body with French fries and don’t waste your mind with French philosophies or I can say fried philosophies.
As on now in 734 places, 204 cities, 25 countries people are sitting with us. I welcome all of you with my love and respects. People are experiencing intense levitation everywhere. I can see. ‘Samyama: Technique to Rewire your Brain’ today’s subject. ‘tasya bhumisu viniyogah’ 112th sutra in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra, the 3rd chapter 6th verse; tasya bhumisu viniyogah. Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as: that samyama should be practiced in stages. Swami Prabhavananda translates as: it must be applied stage by stage. Swami Sachidananda translates as: its practice is to be accomplished in stages. Osho translates as: samyama is to be employed in stages.
I will translate based on my own experience this sutra as: Samyama has to be practiced applied in progression. I do not want to use the word stages; no, stage by stage. NO. It has to be applied in progression. Please understand it means, there is a big difference between stage by stage and progression. Stage by stage means it s like you are supposed to achieve something stage by stage, step by step. No. I wanted to tell you all, samyama is like taking out something which you already have in your treasury box, treasure vault, wallet; taking it out in progression. It means, see please understand, if you translate that very word, that one word bhumisu viniyogah, this is a technical term. The sacred secret is hidden in these two words bhumisu viniyogah. If you translate and understand that word as stage by stage you get a feeling it’s like you need to achieve something. NO. Even if you think you are body and mind, please understand you don’t need to achieve anything. There is already enough treasures in your vault, in your treasure, treasury box, in your inner space. You only need to take them out in progression. Stage is different progression is different. So technically I will translate this word bhumisu viniyogah as progression then stage by stage.
I wanted all of you to know the great system of yoga vedanta means combination of yoga philosophy and vedanta philosophy, everything is aimed continuously to remind you the original space of all knowing, all pervading, always blissful in you. Please understand many of the western religions aims at constantly reminding you about the original sin. But the eastern religions especially the yoga vedanta sampradaya constantly works to remind you about your original, graceful, all knowing, all fulfilled, always blissful state. Even your master is supposed to remind that state which you are having in you constantly to you. That is why in yoga vedantic tradition even God is just a stepping stone for enlightenment.
Please understand God is not ultimate in yoga vedantic tradition. God is a stepping stone for enlightenment. God is a concept used for you to experience Godliness. The ultimate possibility for every human being in spiritual field is thrown open only in Vedic tradition because everything is a technique for you to experience the highest. There is no definitive higher or superior power over you. Even the concept of God is for you to experience Godliness. The moment you translate the word stage by stage it gives a feeling the you need to achieve something. No. You don’t need to. Take the responsibility to only get something out of your treasury. You don’t need to earn.
As long as you have the idea you need to achieve, you always feel there is somebody who is having it; somebody who is possessing it, you need to take it away from that person; tribal mentality. It is ok for religions in a very primitive state but not for sophisticated, evolved, luxurious people like Ganges civilization. If you are stuck in some desert or the useless forest, living as a tribal in a very primitive way, your mentality can go only up to the level, there are some powers with somebody you need to receive it from them or take it from them. Because the whole psyche of primitive people is somebody possessing something; either you receive from them or take it from them. It is completely based on possessiveness.
But the religion of Vedic civilization has grown in the rich Ganges plateau, banks of the Ganges again in the minds which is enriched by the freedom and luxury of all the time and energy is available for their highest, honest, research and development. So here is a religion which has grown in a inner space which is not primitive which is not possessiveness based. Understand the vast difference between translating this bhoomisu viniyogah as stage by stage or progression; a big difference. If you translate that as a stage by stage, still you are stuck with the primitive mentality of religion; ‘Somebody is having you need to take it’. Root cause of all depression. Progression means you have it. Your body and mind need to take that out from your inner space, super consciousness. All you need is training your body and mind step by step to take those things out.
Why the word progression, step by step, because if your body and mind tries to take everything out, all the powers out at a time, it may not be able to stay in a balanced way and express those powers. It may just get burnt away. I have seen sometime people boiling them self in depression burning them self into negativity. Same way sometime people can boil them self even with extraordinary powers. If their body and mind is not matured enough to handle this extra ordinary powers they may just play with these powers in a foolish way and disturb and damage, cause too much damage to people.
20:01; Ramakrishna tells a beautiful story one sadhu somehow retrieved the power of stopping the air movement from his inner space. But unfortunately his body and mind was not matured and he did not do it in progression; just got the power. So one day there was a intense cyclone. Many boats were getting rocked, disturbed in the river. Out of his power just like that he stopped that cyclone. Because of the sudden stop many boats tumbled, over turned and many people got drowned and died and that karma came to him; the power which he had, left him. Some time when the body and mind is not matured enough and the powers are expressed in your body and mind, it is very dangerous; it is very dangerous.
An important thing you need to learn; the meaning of the word bhumisu viniyogah, progression, means properly your body and mind need to take those extraordinary powers out of your system through proper samyama. This can happen only if you are part of a mystery school; only you are with an enlightened being an incarnation who clearly balances and guides you and makes that samyama happen in your body and mind. I have seen sometimes the masters do something extraordinary to balance people and make this extraordinary powers express through the body and mind.
I have read once Vivekananda even making one of his disciple to eat fish. You may think how fish is going to help in yoga. That guy, a disciple, acquired some extraordinary powers without going through the proper progression. So it may not be right for his body and mind; dangerous. So Vivekananda immediately says eat fish, the power should go away. Let the body and mind be prepared, then the powers can express in progression. Immediately that disciple ate the fish and the powers left and it was good for the individual.
So you need to understand only in the mystery school under the guidance of the master safely, blissfully, these powers can be brought out to your body and mind. You can rejoice, cherish and enjoy these extraordinary powers. I am seeing 1000s of people experiencing levitating all over the world not a single one had any side effect; wrong side effect. 1000s of people’s kundalini is getting awakened everyday all over the world. Not a single one is having negative side effect; such an intense process where people are literally blown away but no side effect. It is because it is done in progression. It is done in progression properly, beautifully, with honesty and integrity towards the spiritual experience, the spiritual truth.
I heard a message from a devotee, I don’t know you can’t even call as a devotee; somebody who was attending satsang yesterday. It seems he was complaining that I was attacking some particular guru yesterday. I was not…. please I want to make it very clear I never attack anybody and I was not attacking any particular guru. I was only defending the Hindu dharma and all the gurus who claim they are Hindus who belong to Vedic civilization like Saibaba, Kalki Bhagwan, Bangaradigar all these religious leaders; if some of this so called secular gurus go on abusing them there is nobody to defend them. I am going to defend. I am going to defend my religious leaders; that’s all. If somebody claims they are secular… get out of Hinduism. You have no right to criticize Hindu gurus.
And that fellow wrote an email saying I was criticizing particular guru. Actually I was not even criticizing that particular guru. In my mind I had somebody else. First thing you are mistaken, second thing you are miss taken. First… I was not criticizing anybody. I was telling stop criticizing my religious leaders who are bold, honest enough to associate them self with their authentic tradition which they represent and not hypocritical idiots who steal all the knowledge and wealth and spirituality from the Hindu Vedic tradition and disconnect themself saying they are secular gurus, non religious organizations. Idiots!
I am dead against mixing religion in politics and politics in religion. If you are secular get out and get into politics. That’s a place to talk secularism. If you are running a spiritual organization, be honest to your guru, be truthful to your religion, be honest to your spiritual tradition. I am not saying one religion is higher or one religion is lower. Same way I am not saying all religions are same. No. All religions are unique and sacred to their practitioners. So there is no such thing as secularism in spiritual line, in spiritual field. So understand I was not criticizing anybody. I was defending the fools who are criticizing my religious leaders. And the guy who wrote the email if you are offended nothing can be done. You are free to get offended and hit your face wherever you want and do what you want.
People need to understand when the truth is told as it is. And here I am talking to all of you every day to teach you the truth not to be politically polite, socially polite; the exact intense honest truth. I am standing by the honesty and integrity and exact truth. So please understand it’s time we start right things at right time. If you don’t understand the difference between political religions and religious politics you will be continuously caught with pseudo gurus. You will not be able to experience the honest truth.
So here I am, if you are interested in honest truth and experiencing mystery school….. I am not interested in Nobel Prize. I am not going to be socially polite or politically polite. I am interested in making few lakh enlightened beings. People who are interested in Nobel Prize, let them maintain their political religious ambitions. I am very clear my life is going to be creating mystery schools around the world, Vedic universities around the world. I am starting satsang centers, paduka mandirs around the world with a aim of converting them into universities, mystery schools, Vedic Universities.
So I am making it very clear. I am not interested in people who are politically polite or socially polite, who are playing this cunning game of politics in religion and religion in politics. No! Let them play their game. I am not interested in that. And I am not even against them playing the game. All I am saying is don’t interfere in our field. Allow little bit of pure spiritual stream to be alive in the planet earth. For heaven sake at least you few idiots can come in the next generations and eat the stuff which I created and live. These politicians who entered in religious field are not only destroying the religion and trying to destroy the pure spiritual streams kept alive, authentic spiritual streams kept alive because they have their loud mouth and their big PR agencies.
These guys go on trying to destroy the ancient mystery science by saying don’t go to people who materialize, don’t go to people who heal, don’t go to people who give boons. What do they mean? This is the pure mysticism, the yoga Vedanta sampradaya. So these are juice and essence of yoga vedanta tradition. It should be kept alive it will be kept alive. Oh planet earth, don’t worry I will keep this science alive. Let this name and fame mongerers, Nobel peace prize mongerers do their job of mixing politically polite religions. Here I am going to maintain the honesty and integrity and purity of the mystery school and I will see that at least million people not only become enlightened, experience the great experiences and expressions of samyama; experience the great experiences and powers of samyama.
Please understand in samyama I am always saying two part; one, experiencing the great experiences and powers and expressing it. For example at this moment I am in a great experience that all the so called reality in front of me is made of a stuff which I can bend, break, mend, do as I want. This is experience. If I do at least small changes and things and show it in reality, physically, either through simple levitation or through simple teleporting of vibhooti, it is expression of the power. Please understand as experience at this moment I am feeling anything in front of me is made out of stuff which is completely under my control; part of me. This is my experience. When I share this word if I ignite this mood in many of you I am expressing the experience.
Same way this experience brings certain powers like anybody can be moved as I want, any body’s kundalini can be raised to the same level I am in or any material can be moved from one place to another place by the power of the mind; this is extraordinary powers. First one is extraordinary experience, second one is extraordinary power. So if this is shown visibly, as the kundalini awakening or the levitation or teleporting, it is expressing extra ordinary powers. I wanted both dimensions of samyama to be kept alive. But some religions are not interested in this second dimension, the power dimension of samyama to be kept alive because it will be a solid proof for the Vedic tradition, yogic tradition; which is not good for their vested interest. So they go on promoting the religious leaders or spiritual leaders who neither have this extraordinary powers nor able to show this extraordinary powers nor able to know the technology of this extraordinary powers.
Naturally they will also do the same logic…. in the kindergarten schools in Bharat they will teach a story. There was a grape garden and one fox went to that garden. It tried, tried, tried, but it was not able to get to that grape. Then he started telling oh this grape is sour; abused the grapes for ten minutes and went away. The same thing, these pseudo gurus come on….let you do and show it is not spirituality; then I will agree. You have at least right to tell whether it is spirituality or not. It’s not that I will agree your idea but you have a… you at least have right to comment on that subject. When you don’t even have the authority to comment on some subject, don’t!
So be very clear, I am telling all my devotees and disciples and seekers around the world, I am interested in fulfilling you honestly; not in Nobel Prize, not in any awards and social recognitions. So I am not going to compromise or bend my teachings and ideologies. I am not going to dilute it as western mental setup may expect to give their Nobel Prize to me. No. I am going to remain as authentic Yogic Vedic incarnation to transmit that experience to all of you. So I invite seekers from around the world to gather around me and in my mystery schools, satsang centers. Here we are simple, humble people, just learning and teaching spirituality and we do simple things like teleporting, materialization, levitation, kundalini awakening. Why don’t you let you guys live with us, live our self with our own ideology and philosophy? Let us live our Vedic truths and yogic life.
Understand samyama. It is expressing the extraordinary physical and mental powers in progression. You need to know thoroughly from what kind of a person you are learning these great truths only then you will understand how directly it helps. See the secular idea is great in the political field in the society. But that is not going to be an authentic unique message in the spiritual field, in the religious realm. All right even you have established all religions are one and the same; all right, ok. But what is your contribution? Come on. What direct contribution you have to the world. Only what authentically you experienced what authentically you are sharing with the world that is the only honest contribution. When you don’t have any unique contribution, go round and divert the people’s attention from one subject to another and people will think that is your contribution. Diverting people from one subject to another is not your contribution. Come up with some creative contribution.
Love is a empty word with which you can cheat anybody. What do they mean? Come on. Let them show their love. What do they mean? I don’t understand. Creating peace between religion only will happen if you are honestly established in one religion and able to create peace to your own followers with a spiritual experience. When we don’t have our own authentic contribution in any field, just go on doing politics. See all the… there will not be any unique contribution from them. In the whole world, there are only two kinds of minds; one which contributes creatively; another one which goes on meddling with people and tries to put some big identity. No. I am not interested in any social game or political game or politics in religion and religion in politics. No. I am interested in honestly, beautifully, purely, retaining the yoga vedantic tradition; the great spiritual mystical tradition. 44:28 I am going to dedicate my life to reproduce this experience in people, reproduce these great powers on people and scientifically establish a step by step practical lifestyle where people can experience all these great experiences and powers of samyama and express the great experiences and powers of samyama to the world. So I request all our devotees and disciples to be aware and understand my motive and the work I am doing. If you can understand, be with me. So as Patanjali says I will teach you samyama; experiencing and expressing the extraordinary experiences and powers from super consciousness through your body and mind in progression. So I request all of you; devotees, disciples, satsangis, participants in our satsang centers, not to miss even a single instruction and go through the whole process intensely sincerely in progression.
I bless you all to live, achieve, experience, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you. 46:35
eN Kriya - Deeper Insights
DATE: February 6th 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 18:31
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees, disciples, visitors, who are sitting with our satsang centers, temples, ashrams around the world. As on now this moment in 700 places, 218 cities, 30 countries people are sitting with us and 34 cities and 11 countries are two way with me; means I am able to see them. But all other 700 places are able to see us.
Today eN Kriya initiation; I wanted to speak the deeper dimensions of eN kriya. From time immemorial always masters created a strong powerful energetic experience based meditation techniques, kriyas, sutras, mantras, mudras, bandhas, yoga postures to reproduce the extraordinary experiences and powers. This eN kriya is one of the ancient secret. I can say the sacred secret delivered to the world in the Hatha yoga sampradaya by the great masters Matsyendranatha and Gorakhnatha; preserved, protected, practiced and preached by the Hatha yoga sampradaya yogis. In this eN kriya I have collected the essence of all the great sacred secrets embedded in Hatha yoga tradition and Mahavatar Babaji’s tradition.
Please understand this eN kriya is not just a religious faith. I have done scientific study on this kriya. 21 days Inner Awakening which happened in December, we have done a thorough scientific study. All of you may be aware, the scientific study proves the kundalini awakening process; means the initiation, has increased the mitochondria cell energy level to 1300% in all participants. Please understand all available known method to the world; drugs, therapies, allopathy medicines, exercises, even yoga; all this can increase only maximum 20 to 30% of the mitochondria bio cell energy. They can increase only 20 to 30% of mitochondria cell energy. But here the participants who attended Inner Awakening; exorbitant, unimaginable, earth shattering level of 1300% increase in mitochondria level.
Please understand after these extraordinary results, I was contemplating how can we help human beings to experience this extraordinary energy explosion in the mitochondria level; means awakening the kundalini. I was feeling to create a strong powerful technique so that people can experience and awaken their kundalini shakti wherever they are and experience all the positive health benefits physically, physiologically, mentally, psychologically, ultimately spiritually. With that contemplation and meditation this eN kriya has happened in my system as a gift to the world. Mainly this eN kriya is concentrating on awakening your kundalini shakti.
And I can challenge; I respectfully challenge the scientific community and invite them to study further. Here I am declaring few important truths and I will prove it through the scientific validation and studies. Within 21 days of practice of eN kriya, any person will have at least 500% of energy explosion in mitochondria level because of the kundalini awakening. If you practice this eN kriya at least once a day just 21 days, 500% of mitochondria cell energy level will increase. And another one thing this kundalini awakening will do only positive side effects and after effects like physical health, mental wellness and spiritual fulfillment. There is no negative side effect, 100% fool proof.
And a very important fact I wanted to say if group of people sit in any one city or place and practice this eN kriya at least for 21 days and experience kundalini awakening even the crime rate of the city, manmade calamities and natural calamities will drastically reduce. Manmade and natural calamities will drastically reduce; that is an important thing. So this eN kriya will be a powerful tool for you to heal your body, mind and fulfill you spiritually; contribute to the social peace, peace of the place you are living. This kriya is mainly focusing on balancing the five life breath movements happening in your system; pancha pranas. In siddha tradition we have dasha pranas but in Hatha yoga tradition its only pancha pranas. Of course what Hatha yogis describe as five pranas the same things are only divided by siddhas as 10 pranas and as 10 action. Siddhas go little detail and deeper. With Hatha yoga tradition it is five pranas.
Let me describe those pancha pranas; inhaling, holding the prana which was held in your body, that prana spreading all over your body and exhaling and cleansing; inhaling holding spreading exhaling and cleansing. These are the five life breath moments pancha pranas, Prana vyana udana samana apana, five movements. If these five movements are balanced and proper, naturally your body will be in health, your mind will be in balanced space, your consciousness will be soaring higher and higher and higher. Understand 100s and 100s of good positive effects on your body, mind, consciousness will happen in your system just by balancing this pancha pranas. eN kriya is all about balancing this pancha pranas.
Many people were asking me if we don’t have time should we do nithya dhyaan or eN kriya. Please understand do eN kriya. I have updated my contribution to the world. I can say eN kriya is much more powerful updated gift from me to the world or I can say through me to the world by the great masters of Matsyendranatha and Gorakhnatha belong to Hatha yoga sampradaya. So here I am trying to reach out to the world as many ways as possible so that people can experience health physically, physiologically, mentally, psychologically, emotionally and spiritually. I feel by spreading this eN kriya we will create new world health order.
I am now meditating, consciously working to express more and more gifts; going to come up with eN mudra, eN yoga, eN bandha, eN meditation. The essence of all the enlightenment technology I will be condensing it in this few process and gifting it to the world. And I am making it very clear, this eN kriya ; all this eN Kriya, eN mudra, eN bandha, eN yoga and I will coming up with more eN pratyahara, eN dharana, eN dhyana and eN samadhi techniques. All these works on all the people belong to all religion, race, community, caste, all beings; it helps. But I wanted to make it very clear this gift is from yoga vedantic tradition and I belong to yoga vedantic tradition. Me and my Dhyanpeetam belongs to Hindu yoga vedantic tradition. We are not non religious secular organization. We belong to Hindu yoga vedanta sampradaya. We serve to all community, caste, creed, race, religion, ideology and beings. But we are from yoga vedanta sampradaya of Hinduism. 18:13

I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees, disciples who are sitting all over the world at this moment with us. At this moment 612 places, 173 cities and 23 countries and I am able to see this six cities Los Angeles, San Hose, Hyderabad, Dallas, Ohio, Seattle, in two way connection with us. I welcome all of you with my love and respects. Today’s subject for satsang ‘Dharana Dhyana Samadhi - Ultimate Keys to the Absolute’’. Today’s sutra is 113th sutra in Patanjali yoga sutra and in the 3rd chapter 7th verse.
trayam antarangam purvebhyah
Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as: these three disciplines are more internal than those that precede.
Swami Prabhavananda translates: this three are more direct aides to experience the five limbs previously described.
Swami Sachidananda translates as: these three are more internal than the preceding five limbs.
I will try to give my own understanding and the sacred secret embedded in this sutra. I will interpret this sutra or express this sutra as dharana dhyana samadhi are more internal than each other. Please understand the are eight steps described yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, samadhi. Many other translations say these three are more internal than the other five, first five. I will say this three are not only more internal, deeper than this five, they are internal and deeper even than even the one next to the each other. This dharana dhyana samadhi is not only more deeper than the yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara. They are deeper than…. dharana is deeper than dhyana, samadhi is deeper than dhyana. You may think what is the difference between this two interpretation……...... What’s the major difference? Please understand the difference between the first five steps and the last three steps is not only in quantitative; very qualitative. It’s a qualitative difference. If you think the difference is only quantitative you can always be cheated. You can miss your sadhana.
Please understand some of the orthodox translations and interpretations say eight pranayama is one pratyahara, eight pratyahara is one dharana, eight dharana is one dhyana, eight dhyana is one samadhi. I want you to know, if you think this way you think all these steps are only quantitatively different, we tend to misunderstand. No it is qualitatively different. How many 100s of pratyaharas put together they will not make one dharana. When you practice pratyahara something will click with you. That can lead to dharana. If you are doing dharana 100 hours does not mean it will end up with dhyana. But most probably, usually in that 100 hours something clicks, higher than dharana; that leads to dhyana. So it is not just quantitative, it is qualitative. Sometimes misunderstanding of the words or mismatching of words or mismanaging the words can lead to deeper troubles. Please understand. So if you just understand dharana dhyana samadhi are more deeper than the first five it gives you a kind of understanding but not complete. Even among these three they are deeper than each other; dharana is deeper than dhyana, samadhi is deeper than dhyana. You need to understand the very qualitative difference only then you will do your sadhanas in right direction. It is not just your time it is demanded.
Please understand till the pranayama and pratyahara your time is enough. Any dumb guy who spends time on it will have the result. Assured guaranteed. That is why the yoga and pranayama has become so popular all over the world than dharana dhyana samadhi. In this dharana dhyana samadhi not just your time, your attention, awareness is required. Just a ordinary worker mentality is enough for you to achieve asana, pranayama and pratyahara. You don’t need intelligence. You don’t need intention. It’s like body building. Stretch your body this time this many number of times with this much of weight you will get built. It will be built. You don’t need awareness. You don’t need to play the game of consciousness. Your conscious part does not require to be participating. There is no need for it to be alive, aware, awakened. Just stretch your body this way that way; it is there. And same way pranayama; do this breathing this way that way, close the nostril open the nostril it is there.
But for pratyahara to become dharana a new entity in needs to be awakened which we call pratyagatma chaitanya; individual consciousness, an individual interest, individual need to be awakened; very important very important very important. Please understand pratyahara dharana dhyana samadhi; till pratyahara; yama, niyama, asana, pranayama pratyahara; till pratyahara your individual consciousness need not even participate in this. You can just be in the consciousness of a worker mood. Even if you are cursing the guru who taught you or guru who is forcing you to do this yoga and pranayama, and do, you will have the result of yoga and pranayama even if you are not interested you are forced to do. That is why the yoga and pranayama has become so widely popular all over the world; because it does not need your conscious participation. You don’t need to enter into the leader consciousness. You don’t need to enter into the responsible consciousness. You don’t need to fix yourself to the time and place you are and take up the life as your responsibility. It doesn’t need to be. Just kind of a unaware life is more than enough. You can go on be telling lies.
Please understand satya, honesty makes you responsible to the seat you are in. It makes you responsible for the place you are in. Satya means feeling responsible for the position you are in. Be honest to the space you are in. If you are wife of somebody be straight in the truth. If you are husband of somebody be honest in the truth. If you are son of somebody be strong in that position. If you are disciple of some guru be honest and straight to somebody. I know you will have doubt. Should I be honest to my wife position or husband position or guru disciple position? I tell you be honest to your guru disciple position; your guru and disciple position is much more important and straight especially after this age than the wife and husband position.
Understand being honest, straight to the position you are holding is satya. Satya makes you responsible. This responsibility is required for you to move from pratyahara to dharana. Till pratyahara you don’t need responsibility. But from pratyahara to dharana it is not just quantitative it is qualitative shift. Feeling responsible for the space you are in makes the quantitative shift in you for you to move from dharana dhyana Samadhi; for you to move from pratyahara to dharana. Of course after that naturally it moves from dharana to dhyana, dhyana to samadhi. I will give you the two major components in the spiritual practice evolution. One, intense practice; second feeling responsible for your space, the space you have chosen. I can say now, I can divide the whole spiritual practices as, these two category. First a person should be taught to do the strong exercises, the tapas; like 1008 surya namaskar, two hours of intensely working out, intense pranayama. This will teach you the quantitative work; means will make you, give you the training of hard tapas, spiritual practices. Next thing should happen is becoming responsible for the space you are occupying for the commitment you make; satya. That makes you to experience the qualitative shift in your sadhana.
From pratyahara you move to dharana only if you become responsible. I have seen people who are stuck in pratyahara 40 years. I have seen sadhus, seekers, who blow their nose for 40 years, who bend their body for 50 years but they are stuck just with pratyahara. Unfortunately they never learnt how to be responsible for the position they are in, to move from pratyahara to dharana, dharana to dhyana, dhyana to samadhi. If you take up responsibility of the position you are holding and allow the creativity to express in that responsibility then naturally very smoothly you will sail from dharana to dhyana, dhyana to samadhi. The sacred secret embedded in this sutra is not only the dharana dhyana samadhi is deeper than the yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara. They are not just quantitatively deeper they are qualitatively deeper. And in dharana dhyana samadhi each of them are qualitatively deeper than that other.
I have seen in my own experience. Just the other day I was telling one brahmachari that till you feel responsible, you will never be able to raise out of depression or live your life as you want or have fulfillment in your life. Unfortunately he was trying his best to justify he is responsible. But when I just dig deeper in his life in two or three questions just his irresponsibility comes out. If you are feeling stuck in your spiritual practice, ‘oh you are doing 108 surya namaskar, you are doing eN kriya, you are doing this meditation, that technique, that practice, this practice; but you are feeling you are stuck. You are not able to move’ catch! you are stuck in pratyahara. You are stuck in pratyahara because you have only worker mentality. You have not become responsible to your position. Just add responsibility. The same 108 surya namaskar, same eN kriya will push you from pratyahara to dharana, dharana to dhyana, dhyana to samadhi. Maybe corners of your mind you are playing double game. You are not honest to the commitment you have taken up. I tell the brahmacharis if you have taken one department honestly commit to that and intensely take the responsibility. You will move from pratyahara to dharana, dharana to dhyana, dhyana to samadhi. Otherwise you will be stuck; not only stuck you will be completely in depression.
Some of these people they claim that I don’t have anything to offer, I don’t have any work to do, I am not that creative. Then suffer in depression. You are doomed to die in depression. Life is for people who are conscious. Life is for people who are interested in creating. Life is for the people who are honest and sincere to the place they hold, to the responsibility which they represent. If I am sitting in this throne I have to do all the actions and creations needed for this space. I cannot be just sitting in this and avoiding the responsibilities. No. Being responsible if you are responsible you will not have negativity to be in depression. Pratyahara becomes dharana when you are responsible. Dishonesty leads only to more and more depression. It can be useful at some times few places.
I have a story Dad asks his son “did you use my car last night my son?” Son said “Yes dad I took some of my boys some of the boys for a ride.” Dad says “well tell them I found two of their lipsticks”. Your dishonesty can be useful to cheat your dad. But you cannot change the girls to boys and you cannot change the boys to girls. It can be used to divert the attention of your dad but it make change boys to girls or girls to boys. I tell you when you take responsibility you have the tremendous energy and courage to see the truth. Some extraordinary security happens around you. I can tell you from my experience. When I took the courage and stood up suddenly I felt oh God! There is an extraordinary security happening around me. Till you take the responsibility, you will suffer in insecurity. It is automatic mechanism given by God to remind you that you have not yet become responsible. If you are suffering with insecurity understand still you have not taken up the responsibility of the position you are holding, commitment you are holding, identity you are showing to the world.
One sailor and his wife are travelling in a ship. Suddenly due to cyclone the ship has started shaking. Wife was completely shaken; started crying, shouting. The sailor was in deep peace, praying and meditating towards the God. Wife was shouting “what are you doing? Are you not feeling insecure? You should do something. What to do? How can you escape?” The sailor just took a knife put it near the throat of the wife and said “are you afraid now I am going to kill you?” She said “no as long as the knife is in the hands of my beloved, you, why will I be afraid.” He said “Yes same way as long as life is in hands of God why will I be afraid.” The knife is in the hands of beloved you don’t need to be afraid, be insecure of being killed. As long as life is in the hands of God, divine, you don’t need to be afraid of getting destroyed.
Understand when I tell this, if it does not click with you, still you have not taken the responsibility of your life. Somehow when I read this line it just clicked me, because my inner space was ready to feel secure. If the land is ready, ploughed, then the seed can grow. If the land is not ploughed, ready, rocky, no seed can grow in it. Same way, if you have taken the responsibility for the position you are there, life you are interested, suddenly your inner space gets ready to feel secure. Making your inner space ready to feel secured is the basic requirement for feeling security. To feel secure your age insurances, your home insurance, flood insurance, fire insurance, medical insurance, accident insurance and malpractice insurance and any number of insurances you have, you will not feel secured in your life. You cannot have life insurance you can have death insurance. You cannot have love insurance you can have divorce insurance. Understand the insurances cannot ensure security.
Feeling security is a quality which happens in you when you take responsibility. Yes taking responsibility is a work, is a thing to be done, quality to be cultivated. But when you shrink, when you escape, when you move away from it; life is not for you. Consciousness is not for you. You are not qualified even to breathe. Taking air from the prana is stealing. If you take responsibility naturally your inner space will be ready for security. This one story which I said will suddenly click. Yes my life is in the hands of God. Why should I feel insecure? How can I be insecure? But if your logic says no, no who knows whether it is in the hands of God or not, who knows my husband is my beloved or not, who knows by mistake he may cut my throat, who knows after cutting my throat he may justify that cutting the throat is good for you. If you are struggling in all these great philosophies be very clear you have not taken responsibility. Your inner space is not ploughed it is rocky, die. You will be in depression, nobody can save you. Nothing can be done till you take the responsibility and stand up as a leader.
Asana can lead to pratyahara just by… asana can lead to pranayama just by the practice; pranayama can lead to pratyahara just by practice. But pratyahara cannot lead to dharana just by practice. Pratyahara becoming dharana you need one more quality to be added that is pratyagatma chaityanya jagrata. The individual inner conscious awakened, inner awakening has to happen for pratyahara to become dharana. That is why one sutra is spent to show the difference between these two. I am here to say, the difference between these two is not just quantitative, it is qualitative and even after entering into the dharana the difference between dharana to dhyana, dhyana to samadhi is not just quantitative; it is qualitative. It’s very qualitative. I will explain clearly the difference between dharana dhyana samadhi.
There is a beautiful story, Zen story I have. I will explain. Four monks were meditating in a monastery. All of a sudden the ……. flag on the roof started flapping the younger monk came out of his meditation and said flag is flapping. A more experienced monk said wind is flapping. The third monk who had been there for more than 20 years and meditating, he said mind is flapping. Fourth monk an enlightened monk says mouths are flapping. Understand first younger monk came out of his meditation and said flag is flapping; is trying to do pratyahara; trying to concentrate because he is disturbed by the flag irritated. Always these guys who are trying to do pratyahara will be in constant irritation. They will be in constant irritation.
You can see the housewives who are sitting in their house and trying to chant Vishnu sahasranama..............if the cell phone rings ‘these idiots no business. I have to constantly be running behind this cell phone and the telephone’. In Vishnu sahasranama how did these idiots come? Vishnu will have one more sahasranama. The very meaning of the Vishnu saharanama which she is chanting is vishwam vishnuas...bhoota bhavya bhavat prabho which is all pervading, all knowing, all controlling. At least she should know even her cell phone ringing is controlled by the God towards whom she is chanting. But she forgets “these idiots no...no sense. Is this the time for them to call” and throw the book go and attend the cell phone or telephone and talk back and come back... om vishnu....daga daga daga goes on. The mood of Vishnu sahasranama and telephone answering both are one and the same. Understand pratyahara always leads to irritation.
The second, an experienced monk, he comes out and says wind is flapping; means he is in the state of dharana; he is in the stage of dharana; wind is flapping. Understand he has gone little more subtle. Flag is not flapping wind is flapping. He has moved from kaarya to kaarana. Kaarya means the happening kaarana means cause. He goes from kaarya to kaarana. He is in the stage of Dharana. So he understands the kaarana; wind is flapping not flag. Flag is there as it is. The flapping is happening because of wind not because of flag. Without wind the flag will be there. So the flapping happens because of wind not because of flag.
Third monk he comes out and says…. he has gone to the adikaarana; not ordinary kaarana which is seen by the senses. He has gone to the adi kaarana. Why do you experience the wind is flapping? Because your mind is ready to perceive the wind is flapping. The same moment when the wind was blowing and flag was flapping, 1000 other things would have been happening around them. But the mind has recorded only the wind flapping and got disturbed only by the wind flapping. Why you did not get disturbed by so many other things; because you did not attend or record or you did not want it. If the wind is flapping the flag and you are disturbed, your mind wants to record it and get disturbed by it. The third monk has gone to adi karana, means he has gone to the state of dhyana.
The fourth monk an enlightened, who is in Samadhi; he just makes fun of this whole thing. Mouths are flapping neither the wind nor the flag or the mind is flapping; just the mouths are flapping. He is making fun of the whole scene. He is very clear neither the kaarya is happening, neither the flag is flapping nor the wind is flapping even the kaarana is also not responsible or the mind is flapping even the adikaarana is not responsible. He is saying nothing is happening only your mouths are flapping. He is making fun of the whole thing. He has gone beyond kaarya karana adikaarana. He is in samadhi.
Understand now I will explain dharana dhyana samadhi. This is the best story I found to explain the dharana dhyana samadhi. Dharana means the object on which you are concentrating or putting your awareness; the stuff out of which you are made and the stuff out of which the object is made; this two feels connected that is dharana. There is an example in vedanta that taila dharana; if you pour the oil from one cup to another cup how unbroken way the oil flows, same way the mind flows. That is called dharana. The stuff out of which your mind is made and the stuff out of which the object is made, both of them lose their boundary and merge or come closer it is called dhyana. The stuff out of which your mind is made and the stuff out of which the object is made, both of them lose their identity completely into something else from which both of them came out is Samadhi. So the difference between dharana dhyana Samadhi, a clear technical understanding is required before you proceed and experience those states. Find out in your life whether the flag is flapping or wind is flapping or mind is flapping or mouths are flapping. You will understand in which stage you are in.
I bless you all. At this moment 715 places 196 cities 24 countries are sitting with us. I bless all of you to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda.
Thank you.
PYS 114 Seedless Samadhi
DATE: February 8th 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 29:33
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees from around the world who are sitting with us at this moment as on now in 409 places, in 173 cities, in 22 countries people are sitting with us. And 10 countries are two way connection with us. I am able to see Los Angeles temple, San Hose, Seattle, Ohio, Hyderabad, Redondo Beach, North Vancouver and Mexico centers and 409 centers are seeing us at this moment in 173 cities in 22 countries. So before entering into the satsang I wanted to remind all the devotees, disciples, visitors to sit in padmasana or vajrasana or sukhasana comfortably and in samana mudra. Sit comfortably in unclutched mood in a relaxed way, we will start the eN experience eN effect. Today’s subject ‘The Seedless Samadhi - Nirbija Samadhi’; I will be expounding on 114th Patanjali’s yoga sutra; the sutra 114th Patanjali’s yoga sutra and in the 3rd chapter 8th verse the seedless Samadhi; nirbija samadhi.
Let me recite the sutra and enter into the translations. tad api bahir angam nirbijasya
Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as: but even they example dharana dhyana and samadhi are external to the seedless Samadhi.
Swami Prabhavananda translates as: but even these are not direct aides to the seedless Samadhi
Swami Sachidananda translates as: but even these are external to the seedless Samadhi.
Osho translates this sutra as: but the three are external compared to seedless Samadhi.
The beauty of Sanskrit is same sutra can be translated as 100 ways by 100 masters still it retains its originality and purity forever and ever and ever. Masters new, new masters and incarnations to come and give their translation and interpretation but still it retains its originality and purity untouched, available, fresh for further generations to translate and interpret as they want. Sanskrit language is created to keep these eternal truths alive for generations. See you can see the translations of various masters. Vivekananda translates in one way. His own sampradaya Swami Prabhavananda; actually Prabhavananda is the disciple of Vivekananda’s brother disciple. Vivekananda’s brother disciple Brahmananda, his disciple is Prabhavananda. If you see Prabhavananda’s translation sometimes not only radical, opposite to Vivekananda’s translation; but in our sampradaya in the Vedic tradition you have freedom to translate and interpret, comment as you experienced. So each master gives his own understanding experience and expression. But still the original sutra remains as pure as it is, as it was expressed by Patanjali.
tad api bahir angam nirbijasya
I will try to give my own understanding my own experience on this truth. Till last sutra Patanjali was explaining how yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, Samadhi; these eight are deeper than the earlier ones. Yama is, understanding about the law and the power which executes the law. Niyama is raising the coherence of your consciousness to the cosmic consciousness. Asana, aligning and preparing your body for the cosmic experience; Pranayama aligning and elevating the life energy in your system through the proper life breath process; Pratyahara withdrawing from the things which distract you from the cosmic experience; Dharana centering on the great truths which leads you to the cosmic experience; Dhyana merging or becoming one with that cosmic experience; Samadhi completely experiencing the non return zone, the space where you do not get separated or you do not come back. Patanjali was expressing in all these sutras how every step is deeper than the previous one.
As I was telling yesterday the difference between pratyahara and dharana is not just quantity; it is qualitative. Please understand do not think if you do two hours of pratyahara it can lead to dharana by itself. No. Pratyahara and dharana are not just quantitatively different, they are qualitatively different. So the quality which you need to add for you to move from pratyahara to dharana is what I call sacred secrets. As I said yesterday from pratyahara for you to move to dharana, the honesty to the identity which you believe as you…..please understand whatever you believe as you whatever position you hold in your social life, family life, personal life, spiritual life; whatever position you take up whatever commitment you accept, be honest to it. If you are not able to be honest to all the identities you are committing at least priorities and drop the identities that you are not able to fulfill. Do not accept.
Understand very beautifully Ramakrishna says in his life, in his teachings, life is an accounts. Always be ready when Yama calls you. He says if Yama calls me now I have no balance; clear. Maintain your life with clear balance; means any identity you accepted you are completely taking responsibility for it. If you are not able to take the complete responsibility don’t assume that identity. Ability to renounce, give up the identity which you are not able to fulfill is vairagya. Naturally when you give up few identities because you are not able to fulfill those commitments, you will have some suffering; you will have some drawbacks; you will have some missing feelings. Bearing with that is tapasya.
Please understand so prioritize the identities which you are assuming in your life. You may be assuming the identity of a wife or husband, you may the assume the identity of a son or daughter or father or mother, you may assume a identity of a disciple or you may assume the identity of a brahmachari, you may assume the identity of grihastha, you may assume the identity of vanaprastha, you may assume the identity of a sanyasi. You may assume any identity but be very clear, honesty, to that identity completely to the core. This is what I call the sacred secret.
Honesty to the identity moves you from pratyahara to dharana because controlling the mind is not a job like how you control the monkeys. If you want to control the monkeys put all that 25 monkeys into a cage and lock it; over. But controlling the mind is not like that because mind cannot be shut down if it is put in cage or prison. I tell you mind is so vast. For it to be shut down the whole life has to be altered. I myself did not have a problem. You cannot shut your mind, move it from pratyahara to dharana just like some technique or method. Mind is not like a snake. If you just blow some pipe it will settle down. No. For pratyahara to dharana to happen, a complete honesty in your very understanding about your self has to happen.
All the identities which you assume and unable to fulfill is what I call extra bad cholesterol. Not only it is a heavy load and weight on you, it is dangerous for your very life; the cholesterol on the lower abdomen. As per the research Bharatns die one three years means 13 years early just because of their belly cholesterol just because of their cholesterol in the belly. One three years, please understand they create attract suffer with the diseases and die thirteen years early just because of their stomach cholesterol; belly cholesterol. I am really surprised the country which is based in ayurvedic food and ayurvedic way of eating is now suffering with cholesterol.
Bharat is one of the country greatest country. Every 100 kilometer you travel, the food style and the clothing style will be different. Because we are so rich, we evolved a system of eating which itself will be a automatic medicine for our body. We had a local intelligent village doctors who study the quality of the local water, quality of the local food, quality of the local body, quality of the local lifestyle, quality of the local air and design the food, method of dressing everything based on that. If you just, you see, if I just write down all the varieties of food I ate in my wandering I can say at least 10000 recipe I can create. 10000 variety of food I ate in my wandering. You may be thinking what am I talking? No, really I am telling you; because in Bharat maximum 100 kilometer any one food or clothing system will be followed.
I am giving you the example; from here go towards Tamil Nadu 100 kilometer completely food cloth everything is different. Go northern Karnataka side 100 kilometer, food cloth everything is different. Go this side Chittoor side 100 kilometer, food clothing everything is different. Go Kerala side 100 kilometer, food clothing everything is different. Bharat is a rich country where the food clothing everything is designed developed by the intelligent spiritual understanding people; people with spiritual understanding, specially for the complete health and wellness.
Fulfilling the identity which you assumed and renouncing the identities which you are not able to fulfill, is what I call standing on satya; that is responsible for you to move from pratyahara to dharana. From pratyahara to dharana to move a complete alteration of lifestyle is required. Please understand lifestyle alteration is required. Till pratyahara it is more or less like exercise. That is why all over the world only till the point of pratyahara it is preached and practiced as yoga. All over the world anywhere you use the word yoga, immediately they only know some exercises, stretching out your body front and back and blowing your nose in the name of pranayam, breathing exercise and maybe little ten times chant om om om; that’s all. That’s all they know about yoga. It is reduced to some circus and exercise.
Till these steps you don’t need lifestyle change. You don’t need to be vegetarian, you don’t need to be honest, you don’t need to be doing any special life style changes. You can just be as you are what you are and who you are and just do little makeup on the skin. It’s enough. There will not be any bheda between your earlier identity and new identity. But in dharana you need to change your whole system. The whole body and mind needs to go through a change, a lifestyle change. That is why when it comes to dharana, these so called yogis all over the world say oh now enough I think. No, no, no, no now it is religion part we are not interested in religion, we are only interested in spirituality and teach this. Till the end of pratyahara you can also make money they are also happy. You don’t touch me, I don’t touch you. You won’t hurt me I won’t hurt you. You can be a non religious organization.
But the real yoga is in dharana dhyana samadhi. That is the soul of the yoga. For that you need lifestyle change. You need, your core need to be changed. Yoga is lifestyle change not just a pseudo makeup. No. You need to diagnose the right problem. You need to go to the core, not attending symptoms. You need to attend the very root core disease. Yoga attends disease not just symptoms.
A guy with a big flatulence problem goes to a doctor and says “Sir, I am suffering with silent gas emissions. From today morning I had 25 times. When I drove from my office to your office I had 10 times. When I was waiting in the hall I had 12 times. Just now after entering into your room I had twice.” Doctor says first I need to check your hearing power. If you understand, understand. Doctor says first I need to check your hearing. Sometimes first you need to check your hearing before you are diagnosed for flatulence. The right problem needs to be diagnosed. You need to attend; you need to work on the deeper disease not just the symptoms; not just symptoms.
Understand a very important truth from pratyahara to dharana you need life style change and from samadhi to nirbija samadhi you need a complete intense dedication to the spiritual goal alone. That is why Patanjali says even this eight steps are external as far as the nirvikalpa Samadhi is concerned; nirbija Samadhi is concerned. He is using the beautiful word nirbijasya for nirbija Samadhi, seedless Samadhi means the ultimate Samadhi; you don’t come back you don’t take one more birth. As long as seeds are there you have to take birth. Seedless Samadhi means a stage from which you don’t need to come back. If you come back you will come back as an incarnation. You don’t need to come back as an ordinary human being. This nirbija Samadhi, seedless Samadhi, even this eight steps including Samadhi are external to the seedless Samadhi. Then how can we achieve seedless Samadhi? What is the difference?
Understand this is the sacred secret. If you are interested in seedless Samadhi everything including a ordinary simple desire like a having a banana, having a potato, having even ordinary desires is not allowed. Please understand when you are working on yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, you don’t need to change anything. Just add some exercise, blowing the nose, this, that, you don’t even need to change your hand bag and lipstick. No, really, there are many ashrams, teach you life where your hand bag color or lipstick color nothing needs to be changed. Go tuk tuk tuk. And without even having any wrinkle in your sari or dress you can do some yoga, kriya and come back. You don’t need to change anything. But for dharana dhyana samadhi you need lifestyle change. You need to center yourself on this goal.
But for nirbija samadhi everything else has to be eliminated. Not even one desire. You can’t even have a desire like; can I just have one banana which is my desire for a long time? No nothing can be done. Nirbija samadhi is an extraordinary feat, extraordinary work, extraordinary thing. That is why Patanjali says even dharana dhyana samadhi is external as far as nirbija samadhi is concerned. Nirbija samadhi is more subtle and ultimate than dharana dhyana samadhi. He is just insisting on some of the important concepts through this sutra so that you are getting ready to enter into dharana dhyana samadhi samyamah.
I bless you all; let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda.
Thank you.

Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees who are sitting around the world with us in 453 places, 203 cities and 22 countries. 7 cities I am able to see Los Angeles, San Hose, Seattle, Ohio, Hyderabad, North Vancouver and Redondo Beach. These are the cities I am able to see. But all other cities 453 places and 203 cities, 22 countries are going to see us. So just wanted to remind all of you, get into padmasana or vajrasana or sukhasana, samana mudra and unclutched mood. We will start the eN effect.
Let’s enter into the sutra, 115th sutra of Patanjali’s yoga sutra and the 3rd chapter, 9th verse. The subject for today’s satsang is ‘No Mind State’. One of the most searched word in the spiritual world, the internet - no mind state. How can no mind state be explained and interpreted by mind? …….. I can say almost in a way impossible. Only a mind which is in no mind and which can relate with mind, only can tell about no mind to mind. The mind which is in no mind, able to relate with mind, only can tell about no mind to mind. Let’s see how Patanjali gracefully puts the state of no mind in the words with which minds can understand “Vyutthana Nirodhah Samskara abhibhava Pradurbhavau nirodhah Ksana Chitta Anvayah Nirodhah Parinamah” Now itself I am saying I will expand on this sutra for three days. Masters like Patanjali will not use the same word three times without a solid reason. Understand Patanjali is not just a guy who knows the theology and spiritual ideologies. No. He is a dramatic/grammatic
Somebody goes to Bernard Shaw and asks ‘Sir you have written an amazing book; 40 page book. Theories and truths expressed in that book is amazing. You could have written a bigger book. You did not have time’. He said “I did not have time its true but if I had time I would have written a smaller book; not bigger. Because I don’t have time I am not able to edit and reduce the words and I just spelled it out. If I had time I would have reduced this 40 page to at least 20”. Understand people who have time, people who can, they say things in less words. Patanjali not only a powerful teacher an amazing grammarian; that is why I say he is a unique combination, he is an extraordinary combination. He is an unimaginable combination to express the no mind state in the street poetic language of Sanskrit.
He is using the word nirodaha at least three times in this sutra. So for every nirodha I will talk one day. He is using the word nirodha three times in this sutra “Vyutthana Nirodhah Samskara abhibhava Pradurbhavavau nirodhah Ksana Chitta Anvayah Nirodhah Parinamah”
Let’s see how Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra: by the suppression and the disturbing impressions of the mind and by the rise of impressions of control, the mind is persist in that moment of control is said to attain the controlling modifications. Swami Prabhavananda translates as when the vision of the lower samadhi is suppressed by an act of conscious control so that there are no longer any thoughts or visions in the mind that is the achievement of control of thought waves of the mind. Swami Sachidananda translates as the impressions which normally arise are made to disappear by the appearance of suppressive efforts which in turn create new mental modifications; the moment of conjunction of mind and new modifications is nirodha parinama. Nirodha parinam is the transformation of the mind in which the mind becomes permeated by the condition of nirodh which intervenes momentarily between an impression that is disappearing and the impression that is taking its place.
I will explain step by step this sutra. In this sutra Patanjali is trying to dissolve an important doubt a seeker will face in his journey; an important question all seekers will face in their journey. If this doubt is clarified if this doubt is answered the seekers journey will be lot easier. And it will be lot better without wasting the time in unnecessary efforts. Patanjali is trying to explain a technical term called nirodha parinama. I can say this is one of the oldest doubt, one of the oldest question all the seekers have. How can a mind with so many thoughts and patterns lead us to no mind state? It almost looks impossible. Somebody asked “Swamiji is it not like crime to go to the moon with a bullock cart”. I said don’t make things difficult with this wrong examples. Relax! But people again and again have a strong doubt; ‘how can mind with so many thoughts, perversions, suppressions, lead us to no mind states beyond mind. How is it possible?’ Because any thought, for it to disappear you need some other thought to come there. How can unclutching is possible from unclutching? Why is this oldest question still remains unanswered.
I tell you if just this question is answered logically to you suddenly 90% of your spiritual effort will not be required. You don’t need to do spiritual sadhanas which you think. Your spiritual path and the sadhana will be made too easy. Your spiritual efforts will be reduced at least 90%. First, I think, I want you to understand the importance of this difficult question this strong question and the meaning of this very problem. By not understanding this problem how ignorantly you waste your time and energy and effort in wrong sadhanas. How by understanding this problem you can just disappear in enlightenment, no mind state without any sadhana. I can say understanding this sutra is the technique; just understanding this sutra is a technique for instant enlightenment. So I want to prepare you thoroughly for that. All the dangers and difficult questions we have, all the ignorant endarkening sufferings we have, all the tamasic and rajasic misunderstandings we have; everything boils down to one question, how can the mind lead us to no mind? How can the mind lead us to no mind?
I think I would really want all of you to use this chance of getting instant enlightenment. I don’t want you guys to miss this chance of getting instant enlightenment. Because understanding about this problem this doubt will suddenly take away the fatigue and the hatred, tiredness you carry about the spiritual practice. Spiritual practice is not something supposed to be done quantitatively for ever and ever and ever. No. It is the shifts which happen in you qualitatively whenever you are ready. Please understand it is not like 12 years early morning you will do some same set of things and the 12th year, because your bank balance is full and attendance is complete and you are given a certificate, you are enlightened and all. No. You may ask then why sadhana? Because this sadhana, everyday your heat goes up. Your intelligent goes up and you take a deeper and deeper shift. You change your consciousness. You take a just jump in the consciousness. The qualitative jumps in the consciousness; the qualitative breakthroughs in the consciousness is what I call nirodha parinamaha. The nirodha parinamas the qualitative shifts in your inner space is responsible for your enlightenment. That takes away the tiredness and fatigue and hatred you carry for sadhana.
Please understand a friend’s house is never far away. Even if it is 100 kilometer you will not even remember it is 100 kilometer away. When we started the ashram here all the devotees in Bangalore felt ohhh 30 kilometers away, it is far away. I said don’t worry you will not even remember it is 30 kilometer. And I know devotees who come regularly, they don’t even remember. When they sit in the car in the house they know they are going to see Swamiji, when they see Swamiji they know they are here; that’s all. Friend’s house is never far away. So if enlightenment is your friend, enlightenment is your friend the sadhana will never be far away. If you are feeling sadhana is tire, sadhana is tiring, it is boring it is creating fatigue in you, then still enlightenment has not become friend for you. Enlightenment will become friend for you only if you understand the nirodha parinama the qualitative breakthroughs, qualitative shifts which you need to experience in your consciousness.
I really wanted to blast on this subject today. I am fully prepared, ready. But I think I am not going to speak just because I am ready. I am going to speak only after making you ready. If I speak just because I am ready it’s almost like catharsis. No use. I have tremendous respect for Patanjali. With what passion and joy he would have written these sutras I know. Every day when he expresses these great truths he would have seen 1000s of people blossoming, flowering, having the breakthrough in the consciousness; quantitative not just qualitative; quantitative and qualitative shift in the consciousness. He would have been enjoying, he would have been getting the ecstasy, he would have been flowering more and more seeing the more and more disciples flowering. I wanted to honor the joy and sentiment out of which this great rishi would have created these sutras. I will honor these sutras only if I also see more and more people flowering with the understanding of this great sutra; not just giving an intellectual theological seminary just because I am ready. No. I want you to be ready.
So today I wanted to give this exercise to all of you people all over the world who are attending this satsang. Please understand 453 places and 203 cities and 32 countries at this moment; till tomorrow morning you come for satsang have liquid food, liquid diet; because unfortunately the moment you add solid food to your body the sharp remembrance part of your brain the part of your brain which is responsible for remembrance stops working. The smarana the non mechanical part of your brain which is responsible for smarana gets into marana; dead. The memory part dies. So for next 24 hours till you come back tomorrow morning have liquid diet. If you can, have little neem juice because neem makes the remembrance power strong. There is a part of mechanical, non mechanical part of brain in you which is responsible for sharp remembrance, clarity in visualization that will be awakened when you drink neem juice. So I am asking you to be on liquid diet means you can drink any number of juice, juices; any amount of juice. Have liquid diet, no solid food; have neem juice.
Meditate on this one question; ‘how can my mind with so much of thought lead me to no mind state. How is this possible?’ Because you suppress one thought, I will create another one thought. To unclutch from one thought I have to create at least the thought of unclutching. How can this lead me to the space where there is no thought, where there is no suppression, where there is no modification and where there is no mind? Understand three instruction; First no solid food only juice. Second at least 100ml of neem juice. If you don’t get neem juice at least five leaves of, five neem leaves. Third instruction; see first two instruction is for third instruction. Don’t miss third and just do first two. No. The third is important. Go on hammering your mind ‘how can this mind, filled with so many thoughts lead me to the space of no mind’, because even the thought of unclutching is one more thought. I am not able to unclutch without bringing a thought of unclutching. How will this be possible?
Intensely remember, contemplate, squeeze your brain just with this one thought……. if you have. Squeeze your brain just with this one thought. Please understand I am giving you the clear technique because just understanding of this nirodha parinama can lead you to enlightenment. I am not joking or making fun or exaggerating. No. I am giving you the exact understanding. Sorry last number which I read was wrong; because webinar was out at that moment. Really 595 places people are sitting ... cities and 24 countries.
Please understand I wanted to do this working on yoga sutra and Brahma sutra like a mystery school. Every day I wanted to give you a proper technique and prepare you, ready and then take you to the next level. I wanted to hit when the iron is hot. So I am making the iron hot. Tomorrow I will hit. And after hitting day after tomorrow again we will cool so that it becomes permanent. So understand this three instruction; no solid food but any amount of liquid is ok. You can take 10 juice or 20 juice ok no problem and neem juice at least once, 100ml. If you take neem juice, five neem leaves, Ok. Third; whole day contemplate while you are driving, sitting, talking, doing anything, contemplate.
Don’t think ehhh ... I can’t understand. Anyhow tomorrow Swamiji is going to tell; let me listen….. Why unnecessary think about all these things? No it is like ploughing the land. I want you to plough your mind with this one question today. So that tomorrow when I put the seed immediately sprouting happens. So, today whole day think on this question again and again and again. How can unclutching which is one more mental process lead me to no mind space? How can mind lead me to no mind? How can the thinking process can lead me to no mind state? Be drowned in this one question. Let this be your mental occupation. You will come up with so many answers. ‘No, no, no, Unclutching not using the word, by using the mood, can lead you to Samadhi’. Mood is also one more thought be very clear. ‘No, no, no I practiced unclutching .....little.... I can .... ehhh this all why unnecessary it’s ok. Come on let me have my....
Your mind will either tire you or divert you or comfort you or console you saying ‘tomorrow we are going to know the answer why are you bothered so much. Why don’t you wait for 24 hours, Swamiji is going to answer’. No. I am not going to answer you. I want you to dig out and meditate and contemplate on this one question. What is nirodha parinama. How can mind lead to no mind state. You yourself dig out whole day. Tomorrow when you come literally your brain should have a special groove just thinking and contemplating and meditating on this one subject. Please understand if you think on any special subject very strongly it will become like a groove in your mind. You should have the groove tomorrow. Only then I can sow the seed of nirodha parinama. I can sow the seed of nirodha parinama in you only if you create this intense thinking, contemplating, seeking. For few moments sit with this question now. I will see that this question gets into your non mechanical parts of the brain to the level of your kundalini, bio memory and whole day you work on this question. Close your eyes and sit in vajrasana and samana mudra. Contemplate on this one question. How can mind, thinking process can lead me into no mind state?
Live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you. 36:33
PYS 115 No Mind State Deeper Insight

DURATION: 43:32
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees, disciples who are sitting with us around the world at this moment in 579 places, in 166 cities and 20 countries. And I’m seeing Ohio, Los Angeles, San Jose, Seattle, Hyderabad. These are the cities I am able to see. Let’s enter into today’s subject. I’ll continue to expand on the same sutra no mind state. Hope you all did that 3 vratas; liquid diet, neem juice and meditating on this subject nirodha parinamaha. Sometime your body and mind needs to be prepared to receive the truth. If your body and mind is not prepared, the truth can lead to atheism, nastikya.
Please understand, 3 persons go to rishi and ask the truth from the rishi. Rishi says to the first person ‘you are that’. This is the truth. That guy thinks, oh if I am that then come on let me drink and make merry, enjoy the life. He goes and starts doing whatever he wants. He is rakshasa. Second guy comes and he asks what is the truth, rishi says ‘you are that’. This guy, how can me be the ultimate, I should contemplate and think. He goes and starts contemplating. He is a seeker. Third guy comes, he asks what is the truth, rishi says ‘you are that’. Then he sits and analyses. My body cannot be the ultimate; my mind cannot be the ultimate. Oh I think….. the consciousness which I experienced as me is the ultimate. He becomes enlightened.
Same word can create different effects on different persons. So, body and mind needs to be prepared sometime to listen to the higher truths. I have seen if you are not prepared for initiation even if I utter the great truths the initiation does not happen, the click does not happen, the experience of initiation does not happen. Sometime this mind behaves very foolish way. Experience of Samadhi can happen just by listening to the word, if your body and mind is prepared, if not impossible.
Let’s enter into the sutras. “Vyutthana Nirodhah Samskara abhibhava Pradurbhavavau nirodhah Ksana Chitta Anvayah Nirodhah Parinamah” You can use this sutra immediately because Patanjali reveals his very experience, the greatest truth. The gap between one thought and the other thought, in that gap your ‘Self’ atman shines automatically. Please understand all the western philosophers and philosophies miss this one important point. That is why western philosophy is a straight cut method to depression and never to come back. It’s a very important truth or a major difference between the western philosophies and the Bharatn spirituality. Western philosophy thinks man is nothing but words, words, words. Whether the truth about the world or lies about the world or the truth about the self or the lies about the self; everything boils down finally to words. Western philosophy is not able to step beyond words because they have never experienced a zone where the words does not exist. That is why so many idiotic intellectual philosophies and philosophers go on talking, preaching, promoting, words are everything. No. That is the reason I am telling you never ever learn about truth or life from an unelightened beings.
Unfortunately we Hindus are so broad minded we never copyright our words, the truths. So we don’t sue for copyright infringement. I am back now. I am going to prove to the world something much more than word exist in the consciousness. Who claim everything is a word, if they are put in silence they will die in depression. We will do a scientific study. Because this is claim; only people who are going on talking, using words, whose words are accepted by the people, can be in a glory. They should understand for me to be in my grace, in my space, I neither need to talk nor people need to listen. I can be in my silence; the shining in my eyes and the grace in my muscles will be not only remaining as same, it may increase. And I challenge who say everything is a word, come on let both us sit. You also be in silence for 21 days I will be in silence for 21 days. Let’s see what happens to both of us. These fellows will die in depression. If they can’t talk they will die in depression.
Western world two kind of theology evolved. One everything in the life is money; money can do anything; look at the whole life in the angle of money. That’s materialistic. There is another one group evolved. Everything is word; knowledge. You can do anything with knowledge; nothing else exists other than knowledge. This materialistic people make Saraswati out of Lakshmi. These philosophy people make Lakshmi out of Saraswati. We make Lakshmi and Saraswati out of Durga. My knowledge and my wealth both I create out of Durga; consciousness. They do not know the third dimension. You see if you do not know the third dimension, have the politeness to say I do not know the ultimate truth. I know this much, this can help you, please have it. Then I will also keep quiet. Ok. They naturally prepare people for the next step to come to me.
I said to go and prepare the ground, plough the land so that I can come and sow the seed and these fellows when they plough the land itself they say don’t take the seed. These guys teach word is everything. I challenge them. Come, we both will sit in silence for 21 days. You don’t use words I will not use words. Let’s see what happens to you and what happens to me. And I challenge if you can take me one step deeper than the space I exist, I will become your disciple. If I can take you one step deeper than where you exist, come and follow me. But the problem is these western philosophers do not retain the purity of seeking; almost become philosophers. They are not seekers. If anything single seeker seeks, I challenge come on let us sit face to face. You try to convince me of your theology I will try to convince you of my experience. Whoever takes the other person deeper will follow the other; over. 15:06 But this guys are not seekers they use this animalistic power and naturally a person who is in depression will be angry, violent; so his violence, their violence and anger and their aggression wins in the outer world. Just because they have won in the outer world they should not think that theology and philosophy which they believed and promoted is right. No. They also know the emptiness of the theology, philosophy which they believed and promoted.
Somebody has put a question from some satsang center, "Is there any difference between Hinduism and spirituality”. Now I am making it very clear not only there is no difference between Hinduism and spirituality, whatever you think as unnecessary aspect added in Hinduism; like taking bath in Ganges, wearing fresh clothes, not doing anything in particular times, whatever you call as superstition, whatever the western philosopher calls as superstition, whatever the Christianized Hindu missionaries like Ramakrishna mission and Chinmaya mission calls as superstition in Hinduism; I tell you that is spirituality. Our deity worship, taking bath in Ganges and wearing this fresh clothes, wearing the forehead marks, wearing this energy beads, these small, small things which these Christian missionaries and Christianized Hindu missionaries abuse, I tell you that is spirituality.
Followers of Ramakrishna do not wear rudraksha. Go and see; any of these biggest Hindu missionary organizations they do not wear rudraksha. Ramakrishna himself when he was practicing any practice not only he will put on the dress he will do all that forehead marks everything systematically. I tell you straight reply for this question ‘Is there any difference between Hinduism and spirituality?’ There is no difference between Hinduism and spirituality. In Hinduism .. are inserted by these western philosophies only those things need to be removed from Hinduism. Other than that everything in Hinduism is spirituality. Who are stuck with words, who have not experienced the honest wordlessness, go on promoting ‘in words everything ends’. It seems in their classes they teach even if you talk about the wordless experience they say ‘no, no, no, who experienced, who is saying tell that’. It is the reverse process of what Ramana Maharishi is teaching. These are trying to cheat people.
In Tamil there is a proverb you go and sell the needle in the street where the goldsmith and blacksmith all the fellows are making needles. If you go and try to sell a needle in the street where these needles are produced, who will buy? See if you are interested in making money, which you are interested; we know! Ok great! Talk something like a leadership, this that and make money and be happy. We are not bothered about it. But don’t say Bharatn spirituality is useless. Don’t try to tell the Hindu gurus and Bharatn spirituality is baseless. I want all of you to know exactly Patanjali is addressing this point. All these western philosophers and theologians talk beyond word nothing else. That is why they go on working on creating right word and telling that right word to others and impressing and influencing others with that right words. I tell you No! Beyond words something solid exist. That is what I call spiritual enlightenment and experience.
Patanjali very clearly declares this truth nirodha parinamah. Understand you are not just a train of thoughts. No. You are a sky where cloud of thoughts comes and goes once in a while. If you are just chain of thoughts or train of thoughts then your whole life is depression, nothing else. Then come on sit and try to tell the same words for thousand times. Let us see whether it becomes true or not. Come on sit and talk I am the God, I am the God, I am god, I am God; go on be telling that. Tell everybody tell yourself. Nothing else will happen. You need to, you may use some words to kill negative words. That is ok. If you have an idea I am body, I am body, I am body; then use the word I am atman I am atman to destroy that two; that words, that it. But sometime become illegally grateful; this is right word I want to use; illegally grateful to some techniques which helped them. Do not be grateful to something beyond certain limit.
Understand it’s like there were four fools in a village. They went to guru and asked for blessing. Guru said ‘be grateful for everything’. They decided to follow it. And all four of them used a boat to cross a river. After crossing the river all four of them decided we should be grateful to this boat which helped us to cross this river. We should not leave this boat like this orphan here and go away and all four of them have started carrying that boat on their head and going around. When people asked what are you doing? No we are being grateful for the boat which helped us to cross the river.
Same way sometime in the name of philosophy and philosophers... see the word will sometime be helpful to remove the bad word ok. It’s like one thorn is being used to remove the other thorn but after that don’t build a temple for this thorn. Throw both in a dustbin where it does not hurt others; that’s it. Just because this thorn has helped you to remove the other thorn, oh this thorn must be the greatest in the planet earth which helped me to come out of suffering. Make a golden covering for it and golden temple for it. All western philosophies are thorny temples.
Understand you are a being beyond words; you are not train of words. You are a sky where the cloud of words passes through. I tell you this is a basic scale. I have a question here from satsang centre. "Who is an Avatar?" I am giving answer to this important question. Person who can radiate grace and joy and ecstasy and experience without words is an Avatar. Learn only from a person who can radiate grace without using words; whose silence is an intense energy experience. Don’t learn from people whose silence are depressive. It is dangerous. It means that fellow is only a train of thoughts. No. Learn only from the people who have experienced their sky and the thoughts and words they are using is just a cloud which comes and goes.
I have two message for this Landmark Forum fellows and all other western theology and philosophers who come to Bharat to teach, convert and make money. See we believe in religious freedom from time immemorial. You have all the right to say what you are saying is right. But you have no right to say what others are saying is wrong. Me as self declared representative of Hindu Vedic tradition…. Please understand in Hindu Vedic tradition we don’t have bishops to elect Pope. We declare suddenly one fine morning we are jagatgurus. We are very clear about it. So self styled, self declared representative of Hindu Vedic tradition, I am warning you guys. You have all the right to say what you are talking is truth. We have no problem. We are ok with it. That is the greatness of us. You put big stage, have a bigger mike, shout scream jump dance; say that what you are saying is right. Once in a way even we will come and see you. We don’t have a problem. But don’t talk the Hindu spirituality and Bharatn gurus are wrong. And have the audacity to tell Bharat is putting people in the pedestal and worshipping. It’s a wrong thing.
What we do and how we live is our life. That is the reason we are still alive 10,000 years. Those are not capable of delivering something to human beings and making them eternally grateful. So what to do? Naturally nobody will respect them; because they are not respected how to come out of that depression? Abuse all the people who are being respected. Disrespect the very science of the guru disciple sampradaya. Stealing our knowledge, rebranding it, selling it to us; even these things we can tolerate. Abusing us! These fellows have an audacity to tell Bharatns should not worship their gurus! I will create a new culture reviving the Vedic tradition. We need to understand the major difference between the Vedic tradition and the western philosophies. You are not train of thoughts. You are sky where the cloud of thoughts comes and goes once in a while. So the gap between the every cloud the pure sky is seen. Who are completely clouded, never experience the pure sky, start saying there is no such thing as sky. Ehhh...give me a break!
No I really tell all these fellows who think... you see if you just teach the world and cheat others that there is no sky it’s all words. Ok. You are making money its ok. But if you believe that there is no sky only cloud, I tell you I sincerely, honestly, invite you. Come and be with me just 21 days. You be in silence. I will be in silence. I will show you something beyond words exist in your life. Fortunately I am here alive sitting in the planet earth. Don’t waste this opportunity. You missed Ramana Maharishi. 100s of western philosophers missed the eastern rishis. The ultimate truth is the gap between the thoughts is a space where your ‘Self’ shines. Please understand this whole nirodha parinama means where the nirodha happens, your ‘Self’ shines.
Please understand today I wanted to give you one more exercise. Whole day contemplate about the gap between the thoughts. Is there really a gap between the thoughts in me? Tomorrow I will give you the experience of gap between the thoughts. In Bharat from time immemorial we had all these great discussions. We had all this great experience sharing. I can show what Shankara showed to Mandana Mishra. I can show the same thing. But unfortunately in modern day the seeking of the truth is mixed with politics. Whether Mandana Mishra comes or not is different. I invite at least Mandana Mishra’s disciples who are seeking. Come and taste that truth. It’s available beyond the words.
I don’t even feel bad for the people who get converted from Hinduism to other religion for the sake of food, bread and butter. Unfortunately we are not able to provide, at least somebody else is providing; it’s ok. All right let them have food, bread and butter. Ok. But I feel really, really sympathetic who get ideologically converted to western philosophy which is born, brought up, lives and dies in depression, leaving this great life bliss Vedic tradition.
Arey if you start believing thoughts are everything what will happen to you? You will just disappear into depression. Consciousness is beyond thoughts and thoughts are only clouds. You see in the sky thoughts are like clouds, emotions are like a Raman Effect, the blue layer; stars are like few clicks and the satori experiences which you have in your life. And beyond that, the undescribable is you. Same way in the inner space the clouds are thoughts, the emotions are the Raman Effect and the stars are few spiritual experiences you have once in a while or the great clicks happens in Master’s presence and beyond stars what ‘IS’ is you. Unfortunately….stuck with clouds.
If you are a child and see all kinds of forms and shapes in the clouds ok, it is a good game; time pass. But if you start doing this for whole life you are mentally retarded. Don’t live and die just with clouds. If you are doing it for money, ok, good business; if you are stuck there in your seeking, I honestly invite you, come. I am here honestly telling you, I will not make name or publicity out of you. Come and take the truth secretly and go. I will not tell in my stages this guru attended my program that guru attended my program. No. It seems many of the Hindu gurus have attended their program. I won’t abuse you. Come and take the truth and enrich yourself.
Here we are available as ocean. There is something beyond thoughts. There is something beyond emotions. There is something the glimpses of great truths you experience like stars once in a while. There is something beyond the cloud, Raman Effect, blue layer and stars. That which is beyond all these three is what I call ‘You’ ‘Consciousness’. Bharatn spirituality is not cheating people. Worshipping Bharatn spiritual leaders is not something wrong. Because they never experienced that pure sky they do not know how to transmit that experience to people. Because neither they experience nor they transmit, people don’t worship them. Because they are not worshipped they are jealous of people who are being worshipped. This is the psychology of the whole game, rut.
Here I am very boldly declaring I experienced something which is beyond the cloud and Raman Effect and clouds and stars; Thought emotion and glimpses of truths. I have experienced something which is beyond all these three and I can transmit that to you for you to experience it. Naturally people who had the glimpse of it express their gratitude by way of worshipping. So, I tell you guys not only I can transmit to you I can teach you the method to transmit this to the world. Do it, people will worship you, then you will not be jealous of me. For me to get rid of the problems created by you and your jealous the only way is I have to give you the experience and teach you how to transmit this experience to the world, so that you understand from where I am talking.
Anyhow at least let me share with our disciples. Today’s lesson for you: Contemplate is there anything beyond body and mind, beyond thoughts? Do I really have a gap between my thoughts? Is there any gap between the thoughts? This is the question I want you to contemplate today whole day. Today you don’t need to fast, but I will recommend neem juice. You can have your solid food but just have neem juice. Tomorrow come back with this question. Whole day contemplate, is there really gap between thoughts and come back tomorrow with this question I will give you the experience. Not just answer, experience.
So I bless all of you who are sitting with us around the world at this moment in 555 places, in 228 cities, in 22 countries. Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you. 43:17
PYS 115 No Mind State Experience It

Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees, disciples, satsangis, sitting with us around the world at this moment in 495 places, in 209 cities, in 22 countries. And I am able to see these 8 cities in two way; Los Angeles, Ohio, Seattle, San Hose and Hyderabad, Redondo Beach, Houston, al...... Sharjah. These are the eight cities I am able to see two way.
Before entering into today’s satsang some one or two questions; this is a question from Stephen, New Zealand Auckland satsang center. “I am enjoying sitting for morning live satsangs and doing eN-Kriya every day. When my body begins to just shake uncontrollably what is the best thing to do? Like the hands shaking and body rocking intensely is it best to go with it or try to stay still? Or is the shaking and rocking of the body necessary to levitate or should I try to keep still to levitate? I attended the LEP program. Now with eN kriya I am able to relive those LEP experiences. Thank you for this great gift Swamiji.” Stephen understand just allow the body to go with the kundalini awakening. You do not try to keep it still and same way, do not try to levitate. Allow it. Let it happen as it wants. Let the kundalini do its process as it feels. You just don’t interfere with it.
Today’s subject I am continuing on no mind state. Patanjali’s yoga sutras, 115th sutra, in 3rd chapter 9th verse. Title is ‘Experience’. I will continue on the same sutra ‘No Mind State’. “Vyutthana Nirodhah Samskara yogo abhibhava Pradurbhavau nirodhah Ksana Chitta Anvayah Nirodhah Parinamah” Yesterday I gave you all a process to contemplate and come back. Is there really a gap between one thought and the other thought? I don’t know whether none of you sent any reply or the….. no replies came. Oh. Then I think people are already enlightened. They don’t need any input further. Actually if you would have contemplated on this one subject you would have had at least some questions or some answers. Is there really gap between one thought and the other thought in me? And is it directly useful to me in my life? These two only I am working on. Please understand even if there is a gap what is the use of that gap in my life?
Just intellectually knowing that there is a gap takes away tremendous stress and tension and the truth you attribute to your thoughts. Please understand sufferings are not because of the thoughts actually; the truth you attribute to the thoughts. You try to attribute too much of truth too much of strength to that thoughts. That is where the problem starts. Otherwise as such when thoughts are flowing in your inner space they are neither good nor bad. The world is neither truth nor false. Your opinions and views and ideas about the world can be truth or false. So your opinions, ideas or views about the world need to be changed, need to be aligned, need to be understood. The world is neither true nor false.
Please understand world is neither true nor false. It is your opinion about the world that is only true or false. I always tell you, I wanted to remind you all again, as far as my experience goes, the stuff out of which your dreams are made in that same stuff only this world is also made. But you have an idea about the dream that it is not permanent it is anithya it is ephemeral. But unfortunately you do not have that same clarity this is also anithya of the same order and the same scale, same dimension and same space. Please understand just because you are able to wake up from dream and see a kind of a consistent world you think dream is less permanent. Same way if you raise your awareness and able to see from every birth and death you wake up and there is a consistency, much more than this world which you are experiencing, suddenly it clicks. Wow!! This world is illusion. Greatest joy in the life is playing in this world knowing that it is illusion. A man who knows this world is a illusion and leaves is a enlightened master. Man who knows this world is illusion and plays with it is incarnation.
Yesterday I had a question from somebody “who is incarnation?” Being who understands this whole thing is impermanent, illusion and plays with it beautifully as he wants or as he feels is incarnation. Knowing that there is a gap between thoughts, suddenly takes away the fear and greed and power you attribute to the thoughts. The amount of power you attribute to thoughts, the amount of the seriousness you give it to thoughts can drastically drop. I tell you; unless you go beyond words you cannot even actually play with words. Please understand only if you are little more than body, you can play with the body. Only if you are little more than mind, you can play with mind. Only if you are little more than words, you can play with words. If you think everything is just word it can be a good technique in the initial level; not more than that. It cannot be an ultimate solution.
If everything is word come on sit and go on repeating I am God I am god I am God I am God I am God. Aham brahmasmi Aham brahmasmi million time; what will happen? Nothing will happen. You can become an amazing automated tape recorder. Very beautifully Ramana Maharishi says even if you repeat million times aham brahmasmi or soham, maybe it is a good technique to replace the negative words. Instead of thinking constantly I am body I am body I am body I am body, you can remember I am God I am God I am God I am God. So many restrictions related to body can be overcome. You can overcome those things; that’s it. But that is not ultimate truth.
Very beautifully Ramana Maharishi says Bhavanateeda sadbhavatirathale parabhakti tattuvam undipara. Beyond all bhavanas residing in that space is sadbhava that is parabhakti; ultimate. Word cannot be everything. Fools who are thinking money is everything are stuck with Vishnu. The fools who are thinking that words are everything is stuck with Brahma. Be very clear you need to find either the head or tail of Shiva, head or feet of Shiva. Still you do not know the ultimate. Words cannot be ultimate. Just like money cannot be ultimate words cannot be ultimate. If you think there is no gap between one thought and the other you are caught and you will attribute too much of seriousness to words. Attributing too much of seriousness to words is the most dangerous thing can happen.
Actually even I experienced at one time in my life a spot where I felt whole life is nothing but words. But that is not ultimate. Vaangmanaadi kocharam beyond the vaan and mana; there is a Upanishad sutra also which says beyond the vaak and mind this truth is experienced. Vaak and mind cannot reach that space. Words and vaak has only a limited capacity. It can reach only to a limited level. It cannot be the ultimate and if you are believing that it is ultimate, you are waiting for a big and great disappointment. If you are thinking mind is everything you are waiting for a deep depression and disappointment and unfulfillment. No.
I wanted to let you all know one incident. Once I was sitting with Yogi Ram Surat Kumar in Arunachaleshwara temple. It was night maybe 10 o’ clock. I was alone sitting with him and he was enjoying his beedi as usual and he has a habit of continuously chanting Ram naam. He was initiated into that Ram naam. Continuously he will chant that Ram naam. And whoever comes he will tell them Ram naam is the ultimate. Chant the naam, chant the naam, nothing else exists except the name. That day some two three visitors came to him and he told them chant the naam. And he insisted and elaborately made them understand the importance of naam, Rama naama and chanting the name making your whole body and mind filled with the name. Elaborately means if he uses three sentence that is the elaborate description. He is that kind of a person. Anyhow he tried his best to do the elaborate thing.
But after they all left I was sitting alone with him. I looked into his eyes and asked “Swamiji tell me honestly is word the ultimate?” He turned away from my eyes. Actually I remember still, he just slapped on my face and turned my face away and started smoking again. Of course I did not leave him. He used to have the rope made out of coconut fiber, fiber rope in his hands one bunch. I pulled that rope to turn his face towards me and looked deep into his eyes and asked, “I really want to know is word the ultimate, is sound the ultimate”. He just looked into my eyes shook the head horizontally and said “No. There is something beyond word”. I just could not control myself because this happened just few months after my enlightenment experience. Because in my enlightenment experience there was no word; I could not control myself; the joy and ecstasy that I found the truth, I know the truth. I just jumped and shouted, “I know, I know, I know”.
It is beyond words. I tell you just a simple understanding there is a gap between your thoughts and this truth when it is heard in such close space from a person whom you trust and who has no vested interest, something happens in you. I tell you even at this moment 1000s of you are sitting with me in the close space; understand close space does not mean you alone sitting with me, you sitting with me intimately. There is some space between you and me which nobody is allowed, where nobody else is allowed. Those few moments only you cherish with me. That space nobody else has with me. If you are sitting with that feeling, please understand you are sitting with me alone. Sitting with me alone does not mean there should be not be any other person next to you. It means the deepest possible intimacy, the deepest possible feeling connection exist between you and me. You know even though there are so many people sitting next to me there is something between me and him which is deeper than anybody else, anything I know.
Understand I will explain this science because it is a very important science to experience truth; the Upanishad. If you feel, the connection with the Master is the deepest connection you experience than any other relationship you experienced in your life, you will experience that what I am saying sitting with the Master all by yourself. You may be sitting with 1000s but you are sitting with me alone in the banks of Manasarovar or in Kailash; there’s no other person. If you have experienced a space, the relationship and the connection with the Master is the deepest than any other relationship you have or had in your life; understand you know what I am saying. Now you may be sitting with any number of people but you know you are sitting with me, me alone because all other relationships become immaterial. They do not hold any more power over you. They do not hold any more space over you. In that mood any truth transmitted not only will be the honest truth that will straight away give you the experience.
That is why I am telling you the traditions which misses this great Bhakti, love, will always tell you words are ultimate because they cannot take you beyond words. The traditions which understands this guru disciple relationship not only will accept, will be to take you beyond words; because to take you beyond words you need to relax in certain space. You need to know, by me teaching this great truth to you I have nothing to gain. And you have nothing to lose. See when I was sitting with Ram Surat Kumar if he is going to say ‘word is ultimate’ or ‘there is something much more than words’ whatever his response will be I know he has no vested interest. He is going to tell the truth just for my sake. He has nothing to gain I have nothing to lose. It is only the honesty the integrity.
I tell you if I teach words or everything, I can make more money, I will have a bigger business. I can create hundreds of leadership seminars. All the sick fellows will come and I can just do little band aid and skin grafting, make them leaders. No. I am not interested in just skin grafting. I am interested in bone marrow transplanting. The very being should change, transform. I can straight away challenge all these guys who are teaching words are ultimate. Come on. By what I am teaching and what I am transmitting the space between the words exists and that is consciousness. With this teaching I can awaken the very strands of DNA, very mitochondria energy. Let these guys who are teaching ‘words are everything’ also come and try their experiment. Let us do a scientific research. I will show you how shallow those teachings are. ‘Words are everything’ may be able to increase few percent of your mitochondria cell energy, maybe one strand of DNA. I can tell you the experience beyond words can awaken all 12 strands of DNA and at least 1300% mitochondria cell energy.
People who teach ‘words are everything’ cannot express extraordinary powers and experiences. But people who understand experience and transmit the experience of consciousness to others can express extraordinary experiences and powers. I challenge these guys who say words are everything. Let them come. I will give them one throne. Let them say ‘let vibhooti appear in their padukas’. Let me see whether dust comes or vibhooti comes. No they claim words are everything na come on then do with words.
This taraka vana rishis got into the same stage at one point. ‘Words are everything’ ‘the mantras can do everything’ so no God, no ultimate power, no consciousness. But at least taraka vana rishis are fortunate that Shiva was so compassionate, he himself came down; came down and went to taraka vana, taught them lesson. Any how this time I am inviting them; let’s see whether they are intelligent enough to come and learn the lesson and go to the deeper zones. Understand ultimate truths cannot be a convincing argument. You will miss the whole thing. It can only be shared to a person who is sincerely sitting and seeking and waiting for it. So I am telling you whoever has done this last two days the process; the liquid diet and the neem juice and manana contemplating on the truth, second day neem juice and contemplating on the truth; if you have done this two days naturally this shows you are committed. You are in love, you are interested in knowing the truth.
Please understand just like how I had the revelation from Ram Surat Kumar I am revealing to all of you – ‘There is something more than words. And that pure space can be experienced just by simple trusting and relaxing’. Nothing else is required except simple trusting and relaxing. Not trusting there is gap between words or there is something beyond words. If you think everything is words you will be under constant stress, depression. Only when you understand there is something beyond words, there is gap between words, you rest in a space; you relax in a space. The possibility of conscious experience happens in you. For this to happen in you, as I said, see for me it happened with two thing. One; I had a deep trust with Ram Surat Kumar and I know he had no vested interest. He is just going to tell the truth as it is and my intense thirst and quest and my tremendous love and intimacy, respect, commitment for Ram Surat kumar.
Understand just sit with a deep, tremendous, receptive mood and listen to these truths. This will straight away take you to that space. There is nothing much to explain in this sutra. It is a revelation. Patanjali says when a thought is suppressed or raised or disconnected or modified; anything happens between a thought and other thought there is a gap. That is called nirodha parinamah. Start resting more and more in that nirodha parinama; that’s it. That’s it.
I initiate all of you who are sitting with me at this moment in 623 places, in 244 cities, in 24 countries. Just sit in samana mudra, padmasana with closed eyes. I initiate all of you into nirodha parinamah; the gap between your thoughts, the space beyond your thoughts, pure inner space. Just sit. Let the kundalini shakti in you all be intensely awakened. Let you all experience the space beyond the thoughts.
Let you all experience, achieve, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss Nithyananda. Thank you. 37:23
PYS 116 Upanishad & Q\&A Session
DATE: February 12th 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 57:03
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees who are sitting with us. Every day more and more people are getting added to this intense eN effect in more and more countries, more and more cities, more and more places around the world.
Yesterday I was given a question from a satsang center. The question is basically a devotee is asking “do you initiate only the people who are sitting live with you directly watching the satsang or people like us who can’t watch directly who watch only through the YouTube; the recorded discourse later on. Do you initiate us also who watch the discourses later on through the YouTube through the recording?”
I wanted them to know, please understand, the initiation happens whenever you melt down with the deep trust and feeling connection with the Master. When you melt down with a trust and deep connection, you are sitting live with me. You are coming alive with me I am coming alive with you. Please understand here I am making an important statement, a sincere seeker a sincere disciple when he sits with a deep melting relaxed mood with a Master, not only Master comes alive with the disciple, disciple also comes alive with the Master. Please understand not only disciple feels fulfilled Master also feels fulfilled.
When a sincere seeker melts down in the deep trust and relaxes, the transmission of the lamp happens automatically whether you are sitting live with me in the two way conferencing or sitting live with me in the webinar or eN TV or watching this discourse later on in the YouTube recording does not matter. If you are sitting with a deep trust and a relaxed mood, understand I am alive with you, you are alive with me. When a sincere seeker sits around me, not only he is fulfilled I am also fulfilled; my mission is getting fulfilled. A sincere seeker when you sit around me I don’t even expect you to do puja to me or meditate or do any rituals. Just if you sit around me not only you are fulfilled, you are feeling the fulfillment, I am also feeling the fulfillment. When a sincere seekers come and sit with me I am also happy. A sincere seeker deeply fulfills a Master.
Understand sitting with me live or listening to the audio discourses or listening to the video discourses recorded, later on, does not matter. When you melt down and sit with a deep trust the connection happens, the initiation happens; the transmission of lamp happens. It is no way related to only sitting live with me during this morning satsang. But one thing, if you have the habit of coming and sitting in the morning satsang not only the initiation will happen, you will practice this techniques systematically and the next, next, next evolving will be more easy.
See there are so many instructions and understandings which I add continuously every day. If you are watching the recorded discourse in YouTube, you will not be watching in proper time. Today’s session you may watch tomorrow and yesterday’s session you may watch day after tomorrow. The timing may not be proper. So only those difficulties should be avoided. If you are watching the recorded discourse in YouTube, decide everyday you will sit only at particular time watch only the last day, yesterday’s discourse; that’s it. So have that habit of maintaining that continuity. Don’t change the dates and time of the discourses. If you have the continuity you will have the same effect of watching the live eN TV. When a sincere seeker sits with the Master 1000s of things happen in their system. Upanishad completely awakens your inner being, the inner self.
So I wanted to tell the devotee who wrote this question that ‘will I be initiated if I am watching the recorded discourse’. I tell you, you will be initiated, the transmission of lamp will happen even if you are watching the recorded discourse. There is one more question. What is collective consciousness? It’s a question from satsang center. All the thoughts which is taught, spoken, contemplated, suppressed or expressed, everything; please understand all the thoughts created, spoken, contemplated, suppressed, expressed; all this put together becomes an independent intelligence. You need to know an important fact. The matter which has become highly sensitive or subtle can become life suddenly; that is the way the cell is created. The first cell is created out of matter only.
I have seen in my experience, water staying on a rock slowly allows the plants, water plants to happen, then it allows small animals like a fish and all that to happen. We may think there is external influence it is happening. But I can tell you from my understanding this one truth; even matter which is become sensitive can give birth to life. I want all of you to know even the dead thoughts when it gathers in huge volume, it can become independent intelligence. If one million people are thinking at the same time some good thought like ‘let there be global peace’, ‘let there not be wars’, ‘loka samastha sukhino bhavantu’; ‘let the whole world be happy’.
Please understand these thoughts happening in millions of mind at a time will not be a just dead matter. It becomes an independent intelligence and tries to change the way they think, the way they work, the way they act; even if these thoughts are not directly systematically communicated to them as per the traditional methods like talking or informing or taking it to them. Please understand thoughts created by huge number of people, even if you do not do any action, just those thoughts when they gather, when they get collected, when there is a huge mass, it becomes an independent intelligence. Only thing, the mass of the thoughts, the volume of the thought, needs to be certain quantity. If one person thinks let the peace be on the world, it will not become collective consciousness. No. But if the same frequency, the same thought, the same coherence happens in few millions suddenly you see the collective consciousness happening.
I can tell you if 3% f the world population; from my research I am saying, Maharishi says square root of 1%, but from my experience I feel, now the amount of collective negativity is there on the planet earth based on that I am saying, if 3% of the world population at any moment sits silently and sends a peaceful, loving thought into the cosmos, into the cosmic consciousness, the whole collective negativity present will be nullified. We can push the kaliyuga into satya yuga. We can push the collective consciousness into great spiritual blissful cycle. Thoughts are infectious, spiritual experience is infectious, spiritual truths are infectious.
I can see very clearly, why I, even all the devotees and disciples who are sitting in the ashram, you can see very clearly when the levitation experience was transmitted by me to group of ashramites, slowly, slowly, slowly you can see that it has spread now almost 90% of the ashramites are experiencing that kundalini. The remaining 10 are catching slowly. I am seeing everyday at least two three people are catching. How it happens you know? Your bio memory has an independent intelligence to take and send informations. Your brain is independent of your logic. Please understand fortunately your brain is independent of your logic. There are 1000s of things even if your logic is not able to grasp or understand your brain grasps it. Your muscle memory grasps it. Your muscle memory catches it.
There are many people who are experiencing kundalini awakening and levitation, even they are wondering what is happening to me? Something beyond me is happening. How? Understand you are fortunate your brain is more intelligent than your logic. Fortunately your logic cloud has not completely covered your sky, brain. Your brain is like a sky; your logic is like a cloud. The cloud is not able to completely take over the sky. That is why your muscle memory is just catching it from the collective consciousness. You need to know as body you are natural as logic you are societal. So the body is more intelligent. It can capture the truth even if logically you are not convinced. It can just catch it.
When the honest experience is happening and the truth is being transmitted your muscle memory which is more intelligent will straight away catch it; because your body is the gift from nature. Your logic is gift from society. Anything societal is suicidal. Your body is from nature; it is a gift from the nature. That is why even if you are logically not convinced the highest experience was straight away picked up, caught, received by your body. Your brain your muscle memory can directly receive and transmit informations, experiences without any ordinary traditional communication methods like word or visual or signal or any other orthodox method of relating, communicating . That is why your muscle memory is catching this experience; just like that it catches.
Sometime your logic goes on denying; one of the important thing a Master is supposed to do is taking care that logical people do not experience the emotion or ordinary sentiments with the Master because if you deny that ordinary emotion or sentimental fulfillment the logic will be denied its lubrication. When the lubrication is denied logic has to die because without basic lubrication logic is too much to hold. Logic is heavy weight without the sentiment, lubrication.
Thoughts which are created, suppressed, expressed, manipulated, modified in any form, happened whole this thing put together is collective consciousness. Collective consciousness can become negative or positive and if your body, bio memory, individual consciousness is getting in tune towards positive you will attract that kind of positive people, group, informations around you. That will click with you. If you are making your body and mind towards negative you will attract all negative informations towards you. This is the biggest problem. Once you fall for the negative information you will start attracting that kind of information more and you will click more with that. That is the most dangerous thing. That was one of the biggest problem human beings face.
23;11 Even during this scandal I can see very clearly whoever was tuning them self or ready to give their ears to the negative ideas, not only they fell for it, they started attracting more and more negativity in their life. People who stood strongly with their positive experience and clarity they are tuning and attracting more and more positive experience and energy in their life. People who stood strongly with their positivity and stood around me and with me now they are experiencing kundalini awakening and levitation; People who tuned them self towards negativity and allowed the negativity to take over, now not only too much gravity on them, too much of depression. I know many of these guys who created negativity and spread negativity to others, how totally depressed they are; unable to come out of their negative fantasies. All these fellows filled with their negativity create and spread that negativity. They live in their fantasy game and they project all that fantasy game on me.
I have a story for you. Two psychiatrist were at a convention as they conversed. One asked the other psychiatrist “what was your most difficult case”. The other replied “I had a patient who lived in pure fantasy world. He believed that an uncle in South America was going to die and leave him a huge wealth. All day long he waited for a letter from an attorney he never went out. He merely sat around and waited for the fantasy letter from this fantasy uncle. I worked with this man for eight years.” The second doctor asked “what was the result?” The first guy replied “it was an eight year struggle every day for eight years. But I finally cured him and then that stupid letter arrived.” Understand here the patient is not in fantasy world. The psychiatric doctor is in fantasy world. This foolish psychiatrist who are in the fantasy world how can they cure patients?
It is time we understand the basic truths about the collective consciousness. If you tune yourself positively you will attract positive people, positive information, positive incidents, in your life. If you are tuning yourself negatively you will attract negative incidents, informations, people, in your life. So understanding about collective consciousness is important. Let us enter into the sutra. Today’s sutra; Patanjali’s yoga sutra, 116th sutra in 3rd chapter 10th verse; subject is ‘Upanishad’. Sutra is tasya prashanta vaahita sanskaaraat tasya prashanta vaahita sanskaaraat
Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as its flow becomes steady by habit. Swami Prabhavananda translates this sutra as when this suppression of thought waves becomes continuous the minds flow is calm. Swami Sachidananda translates as the flow of nirodha parinama becomes steady through habit. Osho translates this as this flow becomes peaceful with repeated impressions.
I wanted to translate this sutra and express my experience. Please understand till the last sutra Patanjali was talking on dharana dhyana samadhi samyama and he was teaching us how to be in a space between thoughts; nirodha parinama, the thoughtless space. Now he is teaching how to establish yourself in that thoughtless space. Yesterday I spoke how to experience thoughtless space. When you sit with a deep trust with the Master and listen to him, listen from him, there is gap between thoughts and you are something beyond thoughts. That relaxed sitting, Upanishad, a deep sitting with a receptive mood and a deep trust and feeling connection gives you the experience of nirodha parinama; the space between thoughts, experience between thoughts. Now I am saying sitting again and again with Master in deep trust makes you established in that space.
Please understand sitting again and again in a deep trust with a deep feeling connection in the restful awareness with the Master establishes you in that thoughtless space, cloudless sky. Somebody has asked me, there is one more question. What is it that is really working for the seeker? Is it ‘self effort’ or Guru’s grace? This is one of the important problem seekers face in their life. Is it Gurus grace or self effort? If it is self effort why do we need Guru? If it is Gurus grace why should we do any self effort? I am solving this paradox this problem once for all.
Understand you need to have self effort to be in Gurus grace. You need to have Gurus grace to have self effort. Both are not contradictory. When you catch Gurus grace put your ‘self effort’ to be in that grace. Avoid all the negative talks, negativity about the Master and you. When you have the Gurus grace take the inspiration from him and start the self effort. When you have the self effort put the effort to be in guru’s grace. When you have Gurus grace, use that grace to create self effort. You need to have self effort to sit in Gurus grace to be soaked in Gurus grace every day.
The last sutra Patanjali says how to experience nirodha parinama means the dimension of thoughtless space; beautiful word nirodha parinama. The dimension of you in which you are thoughtless the space in which you are thoughtless, how to experience that? Experience happens when you sit in a deep trust with the master. In this sutra today Patanjali is explaining how to retain that state that space of nirodha parinama. Soak yourself in that space again and again and again. Try to sit in that space of deep restful awareness, deep feeling connection, with a deep trust again and again and again as much as you can. Let your whole body be soaked into that pure experience, pure space. Sit as much as possible as many times as possible in unclutched mood, receptive mood in Masters Presence.
Second, if you are not able to sit in the Masters presence, even if there are seven people who are experiencing kundalini experience, the levitation, if you sit at least with that group, where at least seven people are levitating, that group itself will have the collective consciousness; the Masters Presence. Please understand if seven people are experiencing kundalini experience, levitation, in your satsang center, be very clear you have my presence completely. Because usually if seven people are experiencing that levitation all different energies related to seven chakras are active in that space. 36:16 So today this sutra tasya prashanta vahita samskaraat tasya prashanta vahita samskaraat; this space nirodha parinama becomes eternal in you when you become steady and soaked in the same Masters presence where the thoughtless space is happening again and again. Just like if you put the cotton into the honey bowl and leave it how the cotton gets completely soaked in honey, almost becomes one; same way put yourself in the Master’s presence. Soak yourself in the Master’s presence and soaking yourself in the Master’s presence will automatically, naturally make your ‘Self’ established in nirodha parinama, no mind state, no mind space.
Guru’s grace and self effort is not paradox. Sit in the restful awareness, unclutched mood, in the deep trust and feeling connection with the Master, in Upanishad, as much as possible, as long as possible, as many times as possible. I can give you one more tip. Every night before falling asleep at least listen ten minutes to some of my discourse. In a deep restful awareness in a relaxed way listen and just fall asleep. You will see whole night you are not just in ordinary sleeping mood. You are in Upanishad. Whole night you will be in Upanishad; in the highly elevated consciousness. Sit again and again and again in the deep restful awareness feeling connected to the Maser. This will not only make you experience nirodha parinama, it will settle the nirodha parinama in your system. Your system will be established in thoughtless space.
Now I request all the disciples, devotees who are sitting around the world at this moment in 553 places, 224 cities, in 27 countries; please sit in padmasana or vajrasana or samana mudra in unclutched mood. You can sit either with open eyes or closed eyes. Just sit in unclutched mood. You will experience now the nirodha parinama thoughtless space.

Patanjali Yoga Sutras Space of Samadhi DATE: February 14th 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 31:25
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and blessings. I welcome all the devotees and disciples , satsangis who are sitting around the world at this moment in 330 places and 158 cities in 22 countries and the cities who are sitting with me in two way connection Ohio, New York, New Jersey,Hyderabad, San Jose , Seattle and Los Angles, Vancouver. I welcome all of you and I welcome you all with my love and respects. Today’s subject ‘Samadhi Parinamah’, Space of Samadhi; Patanjali is explaining in many sutras, in many different possible ways about Samadhi.
Please understand we may think why he is talking about Samadhi from so many different angles? He is talking so that different mental set up people can understand Samadhi. A corporate guy can never understand melting down and sitting at the feet of the Master and experiencing nirodha parinamah. A person who is filled with sacred sentiments can never understand by analyzing, analyzing, analyzing logically you can experience Samadhi. So, Patanjali is giving different method, technology, techniques, possibility for different mental set up.
When he talks about nirodha parinama, he is giving the process for the people who can click with sacred sentiments. But now in this sutra Samadhi parinama, he is giving the possibility for logic and intellect. How a person who thinks nothing else except his intellect exists on the planet earth can experience Samadhi, can experience Samadhi parinamah. Patanjali is Jagadguru who gives solution practically for all the problems and who gives technique and technology and method for all possibilities. He can reach out to every possible problems which can happen in every possible mind and liberate people, make them experience and express every possible spiritual experience and extraordinary powers.
Samadhi Parinamah, the space of Samadhi. Please understand what he defines by nirodha parinama, what he defines by Samadhi parinama is one and the same; but to whom he is speaking, is different. sarvaartha ekaagratayoho shayaa udayau chitasya Samadhi parinamah, space of Samadhi. Nirodha parinamah I translated as space of no mind. Samadhi Parinamah I translate as space of Samadhi. But I want you to know both are one and the same; different branding. But the space or the experience itself is one and the same. In that sutra he was talking to a different audience, in this sutra he is talking to a different audience, different group, different mental set up he is addressing. I wanted to comment on all the sutras so that all possible mental setup human beings can experience it, can grasp it, can understand it.
Lets us see how Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra. Taking in all sorts of objects and concentrating upon one object or two modifications of the mind, when the first of these is suppressed and the other manifested, the Chitta acquires the modification calls Samadhi. Amazing understanding!
Swami Prabhavananda translates as: when all mental distractions disappear and the mind becomes one pointed, it enters the state called Samadhi.
When there is a decline; Swami Sachidananda translates as: when there is a decline in distractedness and appearance of ‘one pointedness’, then comes Samadhi parinamah, development in Samadhi.
I will translate this sutra in my own way. Please understand I will give you the exact meaning, the concept; then I will give you the translation. Taking up any one object or experience or idea and hanging all your thoughts to that one idea, to that one concept and being centered on that one concept, on that one idea, on that one truth, slowly mellows down, the unnecessary wanderings and movements of your mind which allows the inner sun to radiate, which allows the constant deflection, the Maya effect inside you to disappear, which allows the super conscious transition as reality. Please understand I am using a word super conscious transition. All the technique, technology, spirituality, religion everything you use is for smooth super conscious transition. As human being the moment you assume body, the moment you are embodied, you have already received the possibility of super consciousness. You have to become enlightened, no way; either by being beaten strongly by the fear or greed, spouse or mistress. You do not have choice whether to experience super conscious or not; but you have choice whether the transition into super consciousness is going to be smooth or difficult.
See life as such is transition into super consciousness nothing else. Even if you drink whole day alcohol and womanize whole night and eat all filth and do all the extreme negative things, you are transitioning into super consciousness. Please understand. But, difficult, long, hard way, that’s it. Life! if you are feeling you exist, anything you do is transition into super consciousness. Spiritual practices, religious techniques make the transition smooth, blissful, happy; that’s it. Understand, life is super conscious transition, any action you do, transition is happening. But the actions through which the transition is hard, difficult, complicated are called wrong acts and wrong thoughts. The acts and thoughts which makes the transition smooth, joyful, relaxed, blissful is called spirituality; that’s it. But life is transition into super consciousness.
Here, Patanjali is explaining one of a powerful way for the smooth transition into super consciousness. And please understand transition into super consciousness automatically makes you explode in all different directions. When the consciousness transition happens in you, even the Brahma and Vishnu, Wealth and Knowledge tries to seek your feet or head, means even they are subdued as sub servants for you. There is a beautiful story in the Vedic tradition. The Brahma and Vishnu started fighting, who is bigger? It is almost like universities and industries fighting, Wealth and Knowledge fighting. The universities are shouting in the loud voice, “We are the superior, we know everything”. Wealthy guy shout in loud voice, "We are superior we only fund you. Without us you can’t stand. Anyhow whatever education finally it is going to boil down at our feet, in our mercy”. Money! Everything boils down to money. But the university guys are shouting “no, no, no however whatever wealth you may create it is we who create the system”. So the fight between the knowledge and wealth is eternal. Even though it is ephemeral the fight is eternal. Two Anithyas are fighting in Nithya. Two ephemeral things are fighting claiming that they are Nithyas because unfortunately Nithya has not happened in you.
Then Shiva happens. He just explodes and appears as a light shaft and asserts his Nithyatva and says wealth and knowledge come on find out my head or feet. They both run .Wealth runs towards the feet and knowledge runs towards the head. Both of them are searching, searching searching. Finally, not only they could not find, they become servants. So when the conscious transition happens in you, when the super conscious transition happens in you, when you start growing towards super consciousness and the super consciousness explosion happens in you, understand the wealth and knowledge will become your servants. Till then in you the wealth and knowledge will be fighting with each other who is superior and who is going to posses you.
Till the age of 20, knowledge tries to posses you. From 20 to 40 wealth tries to possess you. Wealth is a concept which is trying to take over your life. Knowledge is a concept which is trying to take over your life. Blessed are those who allow the consciousness to posses you. If you are spending your first 20 years for Brahma, Knowledge and next 20 years for Vishnu, Wealth, then the 4th and 5th 20 -20 years, be very clear is going to be big mess; even if you have both. Because that both is going to keep you in constant distortion, distress and fight. If the first two quarters is spent for Brahma and Vishnu, the last two quarters will be spent in the fight. So I tell you at least the first quarter of life should be spent on transition into super consciousness then you will see Brahma and Vishnu are serving you.
That’s exactly what I did in my life. First quarter of my life is spent for transition into super consciousness. Now Brahma, Vishnu everybody is serving me. No I am not egoistic or proud or claiming something big. See my life with open eyes. When I say Brahma I mean knowledge, when I say Vishnu, I mean Wealth. And I have both to fulfill what I want to fulfill in my life, because, first quarter of my life I spent in the conscious transition, the super conscious transition. Now I have Wealth to fulfill whatever I want to do. I have knowledge to achieve what I want to do. So every child should be encouraged in the first quarter of life for the transition into super consciousness. Then Wealth and Knowledge is there all over.
Understand, after the IT revolution the Wealth and knowledge is available all over. I can say the IT revolution has brought an important change to the world. Wealth and knowledge is just available all over. All you need is just decide and pick it up. That’s all; nothing else. Actually I feel now you just need a will to enjoy Wealth and knowledge; nothing else is required for you. The IT revolutionist has brought everything, plenty. You just need will to have it. Don’t ever think Bharat is poor country. Here I have a fact. Bharatns may be poor but Bharat is not poor country, says, one of the Swiss bank directors. He says 280 lakh crore of Bharatn rupees is deposited in Swiss banks. I am giving you with a clear reference, which can be used for tax less budgets for 30 years. It can gives 60crore jobs to all Bharatns, free supply to more than 500 social projects, every citizen can get monthly 2000 rupee for 60 years. Wealth and knowledge is all over. You just need a consciousness to pick it up and enjoy. So spend little time and energy on super conscious transition. You will just see Wealth and Knowledge is serving you. As a by-product they are there lying in front of your house, waiting at your gate to serve you.
Samadhi Parinamah means taking up one truth and connecting all the distractions, thoughts, modifications happening your inner space to that one subject or object you picked up, through that allowing the inner awakening to blossom, Samadhi to happen in your inner space, is Samadhi Parinamah. So pick up any one object, go on connecting all your thoughts and actions to that one object, allow that one to shine in your inner space as powerfully as possible, as gracefully as possible, as intensely as possible. See when you allow one object to shine in your inner space you will allow 3 things – one; transition into super consciousness, two; unnecessary wastage of mental energy will be stopped, three; an extraordinary, unimaginable, creativity opens through your inner space. All I did is go on resting in the state which has happened in me at the age of 12. At the age of 12 something has happened in me. So I went on resting, myself into that space, a constant excitement for no reason.
If I have to describe that space, I went on resting into that space. I saw 3 things happened. One; establishing means relaxing into the super consciousness, of course which is already happened but I can say more and more the body was being soaked into that. Second; there was no disturbance, distraction, suffering, depression. When you throw stones at a hill, it gets added. You are throwing stones at Arunachala. When you throw stones towards Arunachala what will happen? Only the hill gets added. Earlier my laughter used to make millions of people in bliss. Now my laughter is making billions of people in bliss and few hundred in depression. It has started the Ishta Paripalana and Dushta Nigraha, earlier it was doing only Ishta Paripalana .
Three things happened in me. One; the body is being soaked again and again and again into that super conscious state, second; no depression, no disturbance, no distraction. Third; the extraordinary creativity has expressed. Yesterday one Swami came to the Ashram; surprise visit. He said Swamiji now you are shining more. Your words are more strong, your presence has become more intense. Not only me everybody feels that. At least, all the people who have eyes and who wanted to see are feeling that. Physically, spiritually, the possibility of giving experience, the energy everything has become intensely great.
So understand we are only growing from auspiciousness to more auspiciousness. Every day the mission is exploding. Just today morning we finished first Kalpataru, eKalptaru in New Jersey. They are sitting even now with us. First time through video conferencing Acharya conducted classes and then I gave Darshan. We are setting now new trend. I request all the satsang centers please enroll your eKalptaru as quickly as possible. We will start almost every day eKalpatarus; after all now we have many Sabhas, many Acharyas. Let’s go on. People have seeking, we have transformation. So we will go on giving transformation to people who are seeking. We will be alive forever. We cannot be destroyed. We cannot be disturbed. We will go on expanding, exploding and expounding on negativity.
Understand I give you this as a technique. Pick up one subject, one concept, one object, and hang all your thoughts, ideas into that. Put everything into that. You will see this three happening in you. One; transition into super consciousness smoothly, second; no depression, your mental energy will not be wasted in unnecessary distractions, third; extraordinary creativity out of your own consciousness. I am telling you from my experience all these three will happen to you. Start catching one subject inside and see that all your thinking, all day, hangs around that one subject, that one concept, that one truth.
I bless you all to Achieve, Experience, Live, Express, Radiate and Share the Eternal Bliss, Nithyananda.
Thank you.
Patanjali Yoga Sutras 118 One Pointedness DATE: February 15th 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 27:39
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees, disciples who are sitting with us at this moment around the world in 628 places, in 222 cities in 26 countries and we are on two way with Seattle, Los Angles, San Jose, Ohio, Vancouver, Mexico and Hyderabad. I am able to see all these cities. So before entering into the satsang, I would like to remind all of you to get back to Padmasana or Vajrasana or sukhasana and Samana Mudra. We will create the eN-effect. Sit in Padmasana or Vajrasana and Samana Mudra and in unclutched mood. We will create the intense eN-effect.
Today’s subject “The one-pointedness”, 118th Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra and in the 3rd chapter 12th verse. I will read the sutra and then translate. tatah punahshantah uditau tulya pratyayau chittasya ekakgrata parinamah.
Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as “the modification called one-pointedness of the chitta is acquired when the impression that which is past and that which is present are similar.”
Swami Prabhavananada translates as "the mind becomes one pointed when similar thought waves arise in succession without any gaps between them”.
Swami Sachidananada translates as "then again when the subsiding past and rising present images are identical, there is Ekagrata Parinamah".
Now let us enter into the sutra. I will give you my understanding and experience on this sutra. I welcome all the centers just now tuned in. This moment 654 locations in 232 cities in 26 countries people are sitting with us. In last few sutras Patanjali was explaining Nirodha Parinamah, Samadhi Parinamah. Now he is taking us to the next level, Ekagrata Parinamah. Please understand Patanjali is talking about an important truth.
'Ekagrata Parinamah" one of the important subject analyzed, researched, again and again and again in the spiritual realm is Ekagrata Parinamah, the one-pointedness. Thousands and thousands of techniques have been evolved. Thousands and thousands of methods have been discovered. Thousands and thousands of practices are created just for this one purpose, Ekagrata Parinamah.
This Ekagrata Parinamah is responsible for your enlightenment and for your extraordinary experiences and the extraordinary powers. Please understand, it is Ekagrata Parinamah which is responsible for awakening of your Kundalini Shakti, which is responsible for your extraordinary spiritual experiences, which is responsible for the extraordinary powers you experience and express.
Let me exactly define what is Ekagrata Parinamah “one-pointedness” And how it is misunderstood by many of the intellectual, a just intellectual translations? Please understand all the regular intellectual translation says Ekagrata Parinamah is having a same thought in past and present also; same or similar. I wanted you to know you can never have a same or similar thought from the past and present. No. If you understand having a similar thought in the past and in the present continuously is one-pointedness, you will struggle, struggle, struggle finally to discover you are a failure.
Please understand I am translating this one-pointedness in a clear way. One-pointednes, means raising your frequency to a level where the flow in you does not change because of the impact of time on you as past, present, future. Some understanding or some truth, some object exists in you, in your inner space, without getting altered or disturbed by the time passing over it. Please understand.
If you think one-pointedness is something like, having one thought in the past and again similar thought in the present this moment, again same kind of similar thought next moment also, you will miss the sacred secret embedded in this sutra. Please understand one-pointedness is not having same or similar thought last moment, this moment, next moment. No. One-pointedness means, raising your frequency to such a extent, the object or the truth which is in your inner space does not get altered, modified, changed when the time passes over your mind.
Understand even the same truth is understood with wrong words for wrong reason; it cannot lead you to the same right experience. No. Truth has to be understood with the right reasoning, with right words, only then it can lead you to the right experience to which it needs to lead you. Please understand, truth is, the experience which is supposed to lead you to the ultimate space. Having a same thought last moment, this moment, next moment cannot be one-pointedness. It can be the side effect of one-pointedness, Ekagrata chitta.
Ekagrata Parinamah, the one-pointedness is actually a different frequency all together. It has nothing to do with your mind. It is a different frequency all together, where passing of the time does not affect or disturb, modify any of the experience of your inner space. So I will translate this word Ekagrata chitta, one-pointedness as "not being touched or disturbed by the time passing over your inner space'. So relax on a object or a subject which does not tire you, which does not bring boredom to you, which does not make you feel sad, which does not make you feel tired, which makes you excited for no reason.
Please understand if the word one-pointedness, Ekagrata chitta is properly understood you will see, very beautifully your very life can lead you to enlightenment; because every moment knowingly or unknowingly, consciously or unconsciously the Ekagrata chitta is happening in you. Ekagrata chitta is continuing in you. Unfortunately you always concentrate and experience the space where movements are happening. You do not remember or rest in a space where the one-pointedness is a constant experience. There is part of you in which the one-pointedness is a constant experience. I can say consistent experience not only constant, consistent.
There is a space in you which does not change by the time passing. Time can go on passing over you but that space does not alter, modify, change its existence. It is there. Very beautifully Krishna puts in Gita; aabhooya manam achala pratishtam Established like a mountain. Your inner space which is consistent and constant does not go through any modification by the moment of the time is what I call, that space is what I call one-pointed dimension of you.
Please understand in your inner space there is a part called ‘Nirodha Parinamah’ restful awareness space. There is a dimension called ‘Samadhi parinamah’ Enlightened space. There is a dimension called one ‘Ekagrata chitta’ one-pointed space or untouched space. I want you to know all these 3 space are 3 different names for the same experience. You try to work on any of these space or any of these dimension you will achieve what I call Nithyananda state, the Eternal Bliss.
There is one more technique Patanajli is giving. Ekagrata Parnamah is one more technique Patanajali is giving for the ultimate experience. Basically the truth Patanajali is trying to tell us, the sacred secret from this sutra is; catch the dimension which is in you, which does not alter, modify, change which is constant and consistent even if any amount of time passes over you.
Breeze does not change the hills. Breeze does not move the mountains. Only the cyclones may be able to move little but breeze does not move the mountains. Same way time is a breeze on your inner space, understand. Time is a breeze on your inner space. There is a part of you which is consistent and constant and cannot be moved by the time passing over you. Experience that space, catch that space, be in that space. That is what Patanjali means by the word Ekagrata Parinamah
Let’s now enter into the space of Ekagrata. Just sit in unclutched mood. Relax with this one truth. What is in me that does not change by the time passing over? Just remember this one truth. What is in me that does not change when time changes? Let me rest in that, with this one idea, rest in you. Close your eyes. Sit in Vajrasana or Padmasana, Samana mudra. Let your Kundalini awaken intensely and experience the Ekagrata Parinama, the one-pointed inner space, which does not change by time passing over.
I initiate all the people who are sitting with us at this moment around the world into the experience of Ekagrata Parinamah, one-pointed inner space, one-pointed dimension as explained by Patanjali. All the people who are sitting with us around the world at this moment in 694 places, in 240 cities, in 26 countries, let all of you be initiated into the Ekagrata parinamah, one-pointed dimension of your inner space.
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti
Relax. You can open your eyes. I bless all of you who are sitting with us at this moment in 741 places in 251 cities in 26 countries. Let you all achieve, experience, live, radiate, express and share the eternal bliss. Nithyananda.
Thank you.
Patanjali Yoga Sutras 119 Altered States of Consciousness Part 1 DATE: February 16th 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 59:55
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects! I welcome all the thousands and thousands of devotees, disciples and I welcome all of you.
Before starting the satsanga I remind you to get back to padmasana or vajrasana or samana mudra. We will enter the process; eN-Experience, eN-kriya; eN-expreience the eN-effect.
This video conferencing technology has done a great good. I think it is put to best use only now. No I can see actually many Swamis, yesterday they were sitting here, today they are sitting here. And it is completely around the world. Just two days before, Bhaktananda was sitting here and now Bhaktananda is sitting there; and Chandikananda she was sitting here and now she is sitting in Redondo Beach. And each one, it’s almost like our life has become so standard. Early morning wherever you are, whatever may be the part of the world you are, you are there with the Master. You are there to rejuvenate yourself and not only that, just because every day I am seeing, all the temples are now managed properly. It’s almost like every day I make a visit to all these temples. The technology has done a great service.
Let’s enter into today's subject. Today we are going to enter into the 119 sutra of Patanjali's yoga sutras, in 3rd chapter, 13th verse. And the subject is, 'Altered States of Awareness'. Let me read out the sutra and the translation. Then we'll try to understand.
"yetena bhoota indriyeshudharmalakshana avasthaa parinaamaha vyakhya taha".
Vivekanada beautifully translates this sutra as: 'In this way, by the three modifications mentioned above, is explained the three fold transformation as to form, time and state in time or gross matter, or and in the organs'
Prabhavanada translates as: “In this state it passes beyond the three kinds of changes which take place in subtle or gross matter and in the organs, change of form, change of time and change of condition."
Swami Satchidananda translates as: "By this, what has been said in the preceding three sutras, the transformations of the visible characteristics, time, factors and conditions of elements and senses are also described.
Osho translates as: "By what has been said in the last four sutras, the property, character and condition transformations in the elements and sense organs are also explained"
Now I will come to the sutra for my own translation. The technical term in this sutra is 'avasthaa parinamaha'. Please understand. This sutra is basically, sutra to give you the strategy for the whole life’s planning. Man who thinks the 100 years he is going to live in the body is his life and plans for it is materialist, atheist. Man who thinks all the lives happened and all the lives yet to happen and the life happening in a broad sense and plans his strategies is a spiritualist, a seeker.
Understanding about life; what you are is going to decide what you do and what you want in your life. When you think you are a child and particular toy is going to give you joy and that toy is going to be adding life to you or it is going to be your eternal companion, you feel so strongly attached to that toy. Even if your mother tries to take your toy away and asks you to eat, you shout at her, “you disappear, you die, give me the toy”. Because at that moment you think your whole life is going to be the childhood and the toy is going to add so much joy to you and the toy is your eternal companion. So naturally you feel the toy is much more important than anything else. After sometime your understanding about yourself changes, so naturally your needs changes.
When your understanding about yourself evolves, your needs changes. Please understand. Having the ultimate understanding about your life and having the right understanding about your needs is what I call renunciation. Vairaagya: renunciation. Please understand the word vairaagya. Raga means attachment, araga means detachment, viraga means beyond attachment or detachment. Vairaagya does not mean attachment or detachment. You need to understand the important truth. Viraga is neither attachment nor detachment. It is having the right understanding about your need.
Yesterday there was a press interview. They were constantly drilling me on this one idea. ‘What is Paramahamsa? Is Paramahamsa is free to do anything, is it licentiousness’? But a common man can never understand, an evolved person does not have any attachment and his needs are totally different. Which you can never comprehend and which never disturbs the world. I always tell people, “because I don’t disturb the world; world can’t disturb me”.
They were asking me, “You are growing, rising like anything. Suddenly you fell. Don’t you feel”?
I said, “I neither felt I was growing nor felt I fell. I was just sitting and sharing my understanding and enlightenment with the world. Whoever came they enjoyed. When they enjoyed and had the physical and mental health, more and more people have started gathering; because more and more people have started gathering, they created infrastructure for it. People who created the infra structure started using it”.
People... See money started gathering as the by-product, side effect of what I was doing and now few people who can’t tolerate this good work try to create some trouble but they are not successful. Fortunately for us, unfortunately for them, they are not successful. So again the right thing is happening. So I neither felt growing or expanding when thousands and thousands were gathering around me nor felt disturbed when few ignorant people have left me. NO. I am always full. If somebody wants fulfilment let them come around. If they have something else as a first priority in their life, please carry on. No problem. And if you are interested in hurting us, come on we will face you. See what is happening to people who are trying to hurt us? They create their own karma and suffer with the karma. Anyhow, this is life!
When you have a clear understanding and strategy about the whole life, your needs become different. Your desires become different. Your greed becomes different. The transformed desire does not bind you. Transformed greed does not bind you. Transformed fear does not bind you.
Very beautifully Ramakrishna says, “If a rope is burnt, it looks just like a rope but it cannot be used to tie you or bind you”. All you need to do is put the fire of an extraordinary understanding. See now your desire will bind you like a rope. If you try to cut the rope, or destroy the rope, it may take years and years and years. But just try to put fire to the rope, you will see not only it cannot bind you, it cannot bind anybody. Putting fire to the rope is what I call expanding your understanding about life and awareness.
I wanted you to expand your understandings step by step. First as on now, all your fear, all your greed, all your sufferings, all your pains, all your pleasures; whatever you call as life, guilt, engram; anything is looked with a very short view of few hours of your awareness. Please understand. You don’t think and plan looking at the whole life. First thing, you don’t consider two third of your life when you do any strategy, the first part. All the happenings of your dream state you don’t consider that as your part of your life at all. And your deep sleep state, you don’t consider that as a part of your life at all.
The other day, one very important VIP, a very top politician came to meet me privately and all he asked is, “Swamiji just give me some method, some technique that the moment I lie down I should be able to sleep. I don’t want anything else”. Because he has crores of wealth but of course he is honest politician. Even being honest he made crores. It’s a hereditary wealth he has. All he wants is only one thing. “Just give me some method that I can have a deep sleep”. Unfortunately, he did not consider sleep and dream state also as part of his life when he planned a strategy for his life. He considered waking state is only life.
Many of us do this. Understand. All the countries which think waking state is only life, is suffering with insomnia. They go on selling all kinds of beds. At least two thousand variety of beds are beings are sold. Bed Bath Beyond..There is a chain store. There is a sleep number. If you lie down on a bed for your body setting up they fix the number. In the same bed two side two numbers are fixed; one side for you one side for your spouse. A Bharatn villager who is born and brought up in Bharatn village can’t even understand why do you need bed for sleeping? Just stretch your leg, you will have sleep.
In the western countries, food is cheap. In the eastern countries sleeping is cheap. But unfortunately some parts of the eastern country food is costly because they did not put too much attention on the waking state. Understand, if you stretch your hand in the western countries you will have food, if you stretch your lag, leg in the eastern countries you will have sleep. But very rarely both happens. The eastern countries, if you stretch your hands you will not have food because we did not give too much importance to waking state. We were focussing too much on the deep sleep and dream state. In the western civilisation was focussing too much on the waking state. Now it is time, we need to create a civilisation which understands all states of awareness, looks at life in all conditions, all space and all time.
If you think life is only waking state, you will have the intense stress. It’s almost like you choosing few toys. In ignorance you will choose too small things for your life. Understand, it is not that after growing you don’t have toys, you just hate toys. NO. It may be there in your house but in one corner. It will not be given undue importance. It will be there. The importance which that requires will be given. But when you think your whole life is going to be a childhood and the toy is the only great joy, undue importance will be given to the toy.
Please understand. All our suffering are because of undue importance given to our greed, our fears. If you understand by falling into the sleep you are not going to lose anything, you are going to come back. You will not have fear to fall asleep. You will not suffer with insomnia.
All the developed countries are spending billions of dollars, at least two times the money we spend for food, for sleeping. The money we spend for food in Bharat, at least two times for sleeping because they don’t have right understanding about life. Their strategy planning visionaries did not include sleeping and dreaming also as part of life. Their ambitions, their desires, their greeds, their goals about life did not come from a visionaries who understood life is not just waking state, life is waking, dream and deep sleep also. Please understand. Otherwise the country which has created so many varieties of cots and beds…. Insomnia is not only leading to many other physical, mental disorders; it is leading to the very poor state of consciousness and in many cases it is leading even to fatal diseases.
Life not understood as it is creates millions of complications and confusions. I can see that VIP who came to me and asked for technique, simple technique for sleep. Of course I helped him that is different. I can understand his struggle. Same way millions of people struggle with the things, struggle with many pains and sufferings; just because not having a complete understanding about life. Life is larger than what you think!
You need to understand, ‘awastha parinamaha’ means the altered states of awareness. When your body is filled with hormones, when the hormonal pressure is high, you are ready to do anything for the other person whom you think will give you the pleasure or fulfil you. The moment hormonal release happens, the whole cycle is different. The whole understanding is different. That moment the awareness makes you something, makes you feel something is very important but the moment the awareness is changed, suddenly you feel like something else is important.
Having broad complete understanding about life takes away practically all your sufferings and sufferings around you. First thing you need to do in your life is have the vaccination for suffering. Make yourself immune to the suffering. The western countries which is giving hundreds of vaccinations, I am really shocked when a child is born the whole body is filled with vaccinations, with so much of systematic different, different, different timings.
I wanted our gurukul system the eN-BSC to be developed on pain vaccination method. Let them be immune to the pain. Let them be immune to the ignorance. Teach them the larger understanding about life. Still kids have not forgotten the importance of dream state and deep sleep state in their life. When you put too much of verbalisation and visualisation of the waking state, they slowly get too much load on this waking state and slowly forget the other two states exist.
It is like a one example, we have three sabhas here. Raja sabha. Chitta sabha, Kalpataru sabha. Just like these 3 sabha you have a three state waking, deep sleep, dream. If all the programs are conducted only in one sabha, you spend maximum time in just this sabha, you forget the other two sabhas exist and you stop cleaning. But you forget the other two sabhas exist if you give too much importance to one sabha. Same way in your life, when we start bringing up kids by giving too much importance and understanding only about the one state, waking state, materialistic state, the importance and understandings about other two states are forgotten; but kids should be brought up with the understanding about all states.
Please understand the today sutra is pain vaccination, fear vaccination, greed vaccination; vaccination against maya, immunity against ignorance. I'll expand on this sutra for next three days because Patanjali is very beautifully putting, how the altered states of consciousness plays a major role in what you think as life and what you live as life. I'll explain only one part of this sutra today.
The technical term is, 'awasthaa parinamaha' means; the space where the altered states of awareness disappears. You need to achieve a space where altered states of awareness disappears. In the last four sutra, Patanjali has explained through different methods and techniques. Nirodha parinama, samadhi parinama, ekakritha parinama, different space.
Now Patanjali is entering into a very deep state. How the altered states of consciousness, altered states of awareness, pulls and pushes your life and creates intense suffering.
I know one disciple; Raghupati Yogi's disciple. He was having deep depression. Naturally when the depression comes, first thing happens is a strong hatred towards the master; because which way you will direct your depression. He is the guy who is sitting in the throne, shining, which you always wanted but never get. Unconsciously taking revenge so all the anger turns towards the master. This guy came with so much of anger and said," all your yoga is waste, all your exercise is waste, all your teachings are waste. There is so much depression”. And he started abusing Raghupati Yogi. He is married and had many kids, 14 kids. And he said, “What kind of yogi you are? You don’t know anything about yoga”.
I have seen Raghupati Yogi is a very different kind of a person. He just picked up a small root of a plant which was there. He did not give much advice and all that. I tried to give them counselling and give them understanding so that they evolve and stay in that state. All he did is he told them, told this that guy just bite this root. That fellow bit that root and sucked the juice for few seconds. Immediately I can see his state of awareness has changed. All his ideas have disappeared. Anger, depression, hatred towards the master, everything disappeared. And now he is like a baby. “Oh I was wrong. I should have been little more intelligent before uttering all those words to you”.
I have seen, when the states of awareness gets altered suddenly all your understanding about life changes. Suddenly now everything looks green, alive, bright. Never believe human beings. When they fall, don’t think they are going to touch your feet and be relaxed. Be aware any moment they will pull it. Poor fellows, because they are not under their control, unless you make human beings immune to pain and suffering by giving this maya vaccination, you can’t have evolved civilisation.
See every day the barbaric acts, killings happening. But these officials are too busy with arresting Swamis and so much of crime is happening. They don’t bother about the real crime. They are too busy in going after Swami who is sitting and teaching spirituality, meditation, silence, peace. The broad view about the life is not there. First catch somebody who is ignorant then try to prove. Just because you caught, now you need to prove your ideas, your actions are right; justifying.
Understand, the altered states of awareness is responsible for all the sufferings you have in your life, all the misunderstandings you have in your life. Understand the other states of awareness like a dream and deep sleep also is part of you and expand your planning about life. If you are too oriented only on waking state, you will have heavy dreams and completely disturbed sleep.
I'll take you layer by layer in this sutra. How Patanjali describes elements, sense organs, then natural characteristics, the cosmic flow, conditions, time, all these five makes your states of awareness different. Please understand. Today the first lesson is just altered states of awareness. Even now if you just put your head down, sit in a relaxed way; in five minutes your state of awareness will be altered. Your desire, your fear, everything will be different. That time your desire will be can I stretch my leg? Can I just rest the body little more? Who wants all these things? Forget about it. Your fear will be: somebody may wake me up, or He may end the satsang soon, this mood is really nice or He may continue, go on and on, if He leaves at least I can go to the room and lie down.
In that state of awareness your fear or greed is different.
Now if you are really aware and interested in what I am saying, if you feel this understanding is directly going to help and alter your life, if you are sitting with me now by driving for hours to come to the satsang centre, you are fortunate. If you are here just because you are staying in this campus and no other way and you have to come and be here, there is a possibility you can be dozing.
That is what I am surprised. All over the world and it is not day time or morning for all the countries. See at this moment 797 places, 246 cities, 28 countries people are sitting with us. Practically all over the world people are sitting with us. It is not that for all of them it is early morning. NO. Many of for many of them it is late night, for many of them it is 3 ‘o’ clock in the morning. For many of them it is evening 9 ‘o’ clock. But different timings they are here just with that one interest: these truths will help to plan my life much more clearly. This experience will remove many unnecessary sufferings I carry in me. It will take me to the deeper and deeper conscious level.
Understand if you are sitting here with awareness, you are greed is, “let me understand his words more deeply”. Your fear will be, “Oh! He may end the satsang soon or I may not catch it completely”. If you are in the just small altered state of mood, sleep, dreaming state; immediately your fear and greed is different. Your strategy of life is different; your decision about life is different. A simple alteration in the state of awareness can completely change many decisions you make in your life.
So understand, alter your state of awareness just once step higher, just one step higher. How the toy car has become immaterial for you when you grow up. Your real car will become immaterial when you consciously grow up. Understand. Just altering your state one step higher, taking yourself to turiya the fourth state; suddenly you will see many of your fears are not there, many of your greed are not there. It’s like a... You are in this country; you are bothered too much about too many things and too many people. Suddenly you are taken away from this country and put somewhere else. All the things which was creating fear, greed, guilt in you now no more relevant for you. Whole state is different.
If you are well settled in US, you will never bother about the old lady sitting in your village, native village and talking abusively about you. But when you are in that village, her words and her abuse means too much to you. You change many of your actions. No, no otherwise that old lady will chew my head along with her beetle leaf. Like how when the place changes, when the condition changes your strategies and understandings changes, same way when the awareness changes, your understandings and life changes.
And I wanted all our devotees to know, all our organisers and satsangis from many countries have decided unanimously to put a full stop to this continuous religious persecution happening on me and Dhyanapeetam. Even just few days before again our Tiruvanaamalai ashram was beaten, broken burnt; just two days before by these anti social elements, illegal elements and still COD is trying to torture me, harass me in the name of investigation, illegally. To put a full stop to all these things, all our satsangis, the senior Swami’s and the organisation has decided unanimously to fast on March 2nd for religious freedom.
We will be observing the March 2nd every year as, 'The Day of Destroying the Anti-Spiritual Elements'. That is the day we have been attacked. So every year we will observe that March 2nd all over the world as a day to destroy all the collective negativity.
See they gave what they had, they know only destroying people. But we will destroy negativity not people. We will give peace to the world.
From March 2nd to March 23, 21 days morning and evening we will conduct peace meditation and kundalini awakening all over the world to create global peace and I promise we will bring down the crime rate of the world at least 40% in that 21 days of meditation.
To tell the Karnataka government and to bring it to the notice of the Honourable Chief Minister of Karnataka, this harassment and abusal which is being done to me constantly, illegally by the COD in the name of investigation and false charges, we are fasting on March 2nd. At least 25000 people are going to fast on that day all over the world in hundred countries. From that day, all over the world people are to going to pour their support in the form of letters signed in their own blood.
Already 49 major peetas and mutts of Karnataka has sent a solid strong support letter. Including the big mutts like Adichunchunagiri Maha Samsthana and Koladamatt Maha Samsthana. All of them have sent their soild support and now from all over the world all the suppressed, persecuted religious sects and leaders are pouring their support and letters. We will hand over all these letters to the Chief Minister of Karnataka, Governor of Karnataka, Prime Minister of Bharat and President of Bharat after March 22nd.
Even after that if the religious persecution does not stop, and if the government is not withdrawing all the false charges, we have decided we have no other way but to fast unto death as mass. At least 10.000 are going to sit in this campus and decide to fast unto death. There is no other way to stop this persecution, to stop this illegal persecution in the name of investigation and false charges.
I wanted to bring this to the notice of attention of Honourable Chief Minister of Karnataka. “Many powerful people in your government who are against non Brahmin traditions like me are working and trying to destroy the non Brahmin spiritual organisations. Please understand in your regime let this religious persecution not happen. Soon we will have to bring this to an end. All the fellows who are responsible for this illegal persecution will be remembered as Hitler by my millions and millions of persecuted disciples all over the world”.
I don’t think these officials will realise what they are doing is harming millions of people around the world. I request Chief Minister of Karnataka to look into this matter urgently and attend to it.
So I inform all the devotees, disciples who are sitting with us around the world at this moment, the devotees, the ashramites have decided to absorb observe fasting on March 2nd. And March 3rd we will be observing, ‘Jeevan Mukti Jayanthi’. March 3rd is the day I release the 'Jeevan Mukti' book.
From March 3rd, the 21 days we will be distributing Jeevan Mukti book in all languages all over the world freely in our internet and physical hard copies as part of our sharing enlightenment project with the whole world.
So I have letter from letter here from a devotee Kannan Los Angeles to participate in the fasting. Not only I give you my permission and blessings!!

And I have many messages from many satsang centres; very emotional. One from Atlanta satsang centre which says, "Swamiji's words are really touching our hearts and it’s really it’s really sad to hear the harassment, abusal, false charges are still continuing. Swamiji rightly said that we will fast on March 2nd; if needed, we will fast till death. On behalf of Atlanta centre, I'd like to announce that all devotees here will observe fasting on March 2nd and we will send support letter signed with blood very soon. Let’s all join our hands to destroy negativity for global peace.
This way, we are getting letters continuously from all corners around the world and this is another one letter from Ma Nithya Sarvabhaktini. I do not know from which centre. They had paduka, they had vibhooti in their padukas in their centre; may be Bangalore. So, hmm hmm.... So they sent a photograph of vibhooti appearing in the padukas. My blessings to the centre!
Some more letters are there from many centres who are really sad to see the abusals.
Today I am continuing on the same sutras; yesterday’s sutras; the 119th sutra, chapter 3rd and 13th verse, one third verse "Altered States of Awareness”.
"aetena bhootaindriyeshu dharmalakshana avasthaa parimnama vyakhytaha"
I think I read out the translation yesterday. Today I’ll start exploring one dimension of this sutra.
Yesterday I was revealing one truth related to this sutra. One, when you expand your understanding about the different states of awareness; your fear, greed, joy, everything changes. Naturally, many of the problems which you think as problem, disappears. When the awareness is too clouded, too narrow, it sees even a mustard seed as mountain.
Please understand. I'll define enlightenment. Enlightenment means, having expanded complete understanding about the cosmos, continuously and ability to maintain that understanding in your muscle memory and bio memory continuously. That’s all.
I'll give you one example. If you sit and watch some movie which is related to space where they explain in a very detailed and a way very interesting way; Sun, moon, other stars, other galaxies, the whole cosmos. You see that kind of a movie, especially if you see in IMAX theatre for 3 hours, you are completely transported to a different space.
Suddenly when you come back and understand; Oh! You are coming back to the planet earth and your continent, your country and your state, your city, your village finally the compound where you are staying. You will feel Oh God! Such a huge universe, what are we? Small dust and ants: Human beings, we are fighting for such silly things?
I always used to feel whenever I land in a flight. When you are there the whole universe, the whole cosmos is there. By the time the flight lands into the compound wall of the airport, you know this useless idiotic system of the state, country, politics, ownership, land. When the aircraft is landing inside the compound, when the compound wall of the airport is growing and growing around you, you just know, GOD! Where was I and where am I? That is exactly I feel whenever I open my eyes. Where was I and where am I? All happens in you is just desha.
See Patanjali here uses the word, very beautiful word. He uses the word ‘bhoota’. Just you had a understanding about 'bhoota' elements. For that two hours when you saw that IMAX movie or the two hours when you are in the flight you had a broad understanding about elements, that’s all. Just that one understanding has suddenly shifted you to a different space. If you can catch what I am saying you will understand. Two hours if you see some movie related to space and slowly get back to this so called ugly, dirty, third rate, abused reality. That is the truth. The moment you enter, land, the moment air craft lands on the airport, you know your very consciousness is getting into a kind of an ideological prison. Wow!! Now it is this state, this country, these are the law, these are the rule, these are the regulation, this is the way you are supposed to act.
Poor human beings! If you just have the understanding of an element for only two three hours, how you feel when you come back to this foolishness. Oh God! How nice it will be if I stay there itself. I am giving you one example. I have seen. Whenever, see when the flight is high in the sky, whole thing look like a small dust and you don’t bother who is prime minister, who is president, who is chief minister, who is governor, who is police, who is lawyer, who is judge.
The moment you land especially slowly when the walls of the airport is seen bigger and bigger, from there if you see actually it looks like a matchsticks arranged. When the matchstick grow to a 10 ft wall and when you come down suddenly you realise Oh God! You are in a large prison.
Understanding about one element for few hours itself can give such a liberated experience. Then understand all the five important factors: time, element, state, awareness and senses organs; if you understand all these five in a very broad way, then understand the depth of the freedom you will experience.
A man who never accepts any meditation technique or any ideology related to surrendering or practice, J Krishnamurthy, even he accepts sitting with everyday sunrise and sunset. That is only ritual he promoted his whole life. During sunrise and sunset he asks you to sit and surrender yourself to the whole. It’s a very powerful technique I tell you. Just during sunrise and sunset, sit. You will suddenly feel God! Universe is too big! Your problems are too small.
The foolish few thousand, few hundred acres you can fence it and have it as yours, yours, yours and the dirty foolish things for which you are wasting your whole life is nothing but small pebbles lying around here and there; the diamond and gold for which you sacrifice your whole life. When you understand life is bigger, broader in these five dimensions; elements, senses organs, nature attributes, time factor, awareness states: In these five even one if you understand, so much of freedom is experienced.
I am not saying if you understand and experience that freedom, you will dump all this. No. You will give importance to all this how much needed to be given. Not more than that. I am really telling you, it is good to have a kingdom but it is very bad for kingdom to have you. Your inner space is too valuable.
Yesterday, lady; I don’t know whether lady or male or female sent an email to me. It's kind of an anonymous email where she was criticising why this jewellery, coloured dress, throne? Truth does not need fancy wrapper.
I wanted her to understand. Truth does not need fancy wrapper but the moment you think this is a fancy wrapper, the truth which I say will not be helpful for you. Just get lost. I am a simple man who likes simple things. Please understand I am a simple man who likes simple things. When I say ‘simple’; the best things is what I like! That’s it.
And I wanted this FREE???? to know, neither this throne is gold throne nor this cloth is very costly. Actually this cloth is cheaper than the cloth which I used to wear. Am just making fun of her but the truth is this cloth is cheaper than the ordinary cloth. This meter is,This cloth is meter one dollar. The whole dress which I am wearing may be 6 to 7 dollar. That’s all! And surely that lady is wearing much more costly dress than me. I can be sure. If somebody gives 6 dollar, I can give this dress; so only that much worthy. And that lady who wrote the email must be sitting much more costlier sofa than this throne. This whole thing may be costing some 200, 300 dollar. It’s is copper made. It's not golden. But she must be sitting in much more costlier chair than this throne. She must be wearing much more costlier dress than this dress.
This looks pretty. Why are you jealous?
Just because this looks good she thinks it is costly. And even the energy beads which are which I am wearing are simple, ordinary rudraksha with ordinary beads. It looks very pretty because of two things; one because my disciples made with a lot of love, second; I am wearing it!!! And I am very clear about it. It is not that I am hiding. Arey I am showing...
Today I did not wear because our energy bead in-charge was having some other work, little busy. She did not make anything new so I did not wear today. Anyhow tomorrow I am going to wear. Don’t think I did not wear because lady wrote email. No, no!! And more over our Bharatn traditional dress, furnitures, jewellery, all these has been abused, defamed, made as out of fashion. So here I am trying not only to tell the truth to the world, I wanted the Bharatn fancy wrapper to be promoted to the world.
So I am warning that person, these guys may be the.... you will be really happy if you go to some sad gurus. And I sincerely recommend you find out very soon some sad guru in your life and carry on with your journey. I am going to be sitting in thrones, I am going to wearing Bharatn energy bead jewelleries; I am going to be wearing Bharatn clothes, in Bharatn way.
Actually the original truth is, all these things are completely cheaper than the any middle class western furniture or many middle class western dress or any middle class western jewellery. That’s the truth. But because it looks pretty, you think it is costly. So you should find out the reason why it looks pretty. Don’t come to the wrong conclusion. So it cannot be just because it is pretty, don’t think it is costly.
I wanted everyone to know I wanted to solve this problem once for all. I am not only interested in keeping the spiritual sacred truths and sacred secrets alive, I am interested in keeping the Vedic culture, tradition, Vedic way of eating, Vedic way of dressing, Vedic way of sitting, Vedic way of furnitures, Vedic way of living, Vedic way of medicines; I am interested in reviving, keeping everything alive.
I sincerely recommend and promote all our disciples to use and live as many ways as possible in Vedic way; whether it is our food or dress or jewellery or furniture's, anything. So I am answering this question and attending this problem once for all.
Understand. Just if in one element if you are liberated how you feel? When you land how you feel bound, in me all through five, in all charac, through all five characteristics I am liberated and I land. How I feel? But still I land just to tell you how it feels up there.
And these perverted minds which are caught only in the throne, why did you look at the throne? If you are looking at the throne, you are not watching the satsang. No really, many of our disciples at least who are feeling connected to me they don’t look beyond this frame. They don’t even remember, they may be looking at the most the dress, the colour or the jewel because it is inside the frame. Other than that I don’t think anybody is bothered about the throne. If you are bothered about the throne either you are jealous or you are agitated, irritated.
That old little lady staying in the neighbour house, neighbourhood and screaming and shouting and irritated about anything and everything happening, whether it is raining or shining or snowing she will be irritated and cursing everybody and everything. If you are that kind of person, let God save you. But the problem is when He gives his hand to save you, you will only see the energy bead jewellery and criticise that also.
So let you save yourself if you can. Because why should I give the hand, if they are not going to hold that and come up, if they are going to use that also to criticize once more? Not only I am wearing, I am telling that person who wrote the email very clearly, I am making enough large quantity of jewels. I am myself sitting and designing also. All my ashramites, bramhacharis, bramhacharinis, everybody is going to wear.
Unfortunately all these rich Vedic way of life is not promoted with the glamour or charisma. All the people who are charismatic started using all the western things and dumped the eastern things and all the fellows who were using the Bharatn things, those fellows are almost living in dustbin. They did not have any charisma. So they were not able to add glory to the Bharatn tradition and culture. So I have decided to build a structure with charisma and promote the Vedic symbols, the Vedic way of life. I have decided not to depend on any other models to promote the Vedic tradition.
It’s time we promote all Vedic way of life directly. So today I am announcing one important announcement and I am dedicating this announcement and this activity to this person who wrote this email. All our ashrams and temples and satsang centres should have a energy bead jewellery shop. And I declare using energy bead jewellery helps in your levitation, physical healing, mental healing and spiritual enlightenment.
So I recommend all our devotees, disciples to use as much as possible energy bead jewelleries and the way I am dressing, it is called yoga vastra; this kind of dress and if you can even make this kind of thrones and use in your office. No really. I can do the mass production and start supplying. Arey really I am telling you. In US I have seen all these massage chairs and this that easily cost 2000 dollar 3000 dollar. But this whole chair cost only 200 dollars, not more than 200 dollar and I don’t think in US you will any good chair for 200 dollar. In the US ordinary seat which I am using in many discourses you will see, not the throne, the ordinary seat that has costed 700 dollar. I know just ordinary sofa. And for the 700 dollar I’ll make you bigger golden throne than this.
Anyhow I am adding golden throne also one more product in energy bead jewellery. We will start producing golden thrones also in mass and supplying. It’s time all you guys in your office have one, one throne. You are all kings!
Now this lady if she is watching this satsang, just disappear somewhere. What do you guys mean by criticising our way of life? I don’t come and criticise your way of life. Why are you criticising my way of life? So I am telling all our devotees, disciples use energy bead jewellery, wear this kind of Bharatn way of dressing and sit in golden throne. Let us revive this way of life.
And I tell you energy bead jewellery, any part you wear that part nadi will be awakened; whether it is on the throat or on the kurma nadi or on the matsya nadi, any nadi. This is kurma nadi. This is matsya nadi. Any nadi you wear that nadi will be awakened. And these thrones you can't.... If you have back pain, sit in this throne for two weeks it will be completely healed because you have to always sit straight, balanced. Sit in this kind of seat. It's 90 degree. Naturally you will not have any back pain, neck pain or any pain.
I am a person who is sitting for hours and hours and hours. I am telling you, I am promoting and advertising; for so many almost ten to twelve hours I sit a day. Sitting 10 to 12 hours a day I am not having back pain because of this type of thrones.
So I am promoting this and I will make in mass and start it selling it, sending it to all the countries all over the world. All our acharyas, our disciples, our devotees in your house use this kind of seats and I will make it available just less than 200 dollars. We can do it because it not gold. It is actually a plastic sheet gold painted and stuck in such a way and it looks like gold. And the art work is done and I was also thinking these artists have lost their job because of this modern day furniture’s and this whole art is dead now. Now I wanted to revive it. I wanted to revive this art because it’s handmade. It’s a handicrafts and I will revive this art.
So I am dedicating this whole department and revival of this art to the person who wrote this email. If she would have kept quiet at least she would have seen only me in the throne. Now she has to see everybody in the throne. It is not fancy wrapper; it is a fashion statement I am giving.
And I wanted really our way of life, our way of eating; I want all our disciples to learn eating in the hands; eating with the hands. Not using any object between your food and your mouth. Use the hand, feel the food, ‘Annam Bramhmeti’; ‘Food is God’. Sense it, experience it with your hand and then imbibe it. When you touch with your hand and imbibe you are hugging the food.
First of all they don’t eat fresh food. Somebody packed somewhere and you need to dump it inside to run and do your job. Poor New Yorkers! How they eat? I have seen. While they drive or run, in the between the ears and the shoulder cell phone, in one hand the car, car, in the other hand a sandwich and between thighs hot coffee. And go and hit somebody, get ticket. Not only get ticket when you hit somebody, that hot coffee will spill all over and have some injury also‼
We eat in rich way. We sit comfortably, put banana leaf, dump all the fresh food, hot, hot and mix it nicely with hand and do it like a ritual for two and a half hours. And I am proud about it. I am not feeling sad about it and I am not feeling guilty about it. So I sincerely recommend all our disciples, even if you eat only twice a day, eat like this. Sit nicely, comfortably and switch off the cell phone.
In Bharat still we lock the door when we eat. In Bharatn villages, see before, till we start eating we keep the door open and wait for any beggars or sadhus to come. That moment we decide yes nobody is there and we decide to eat, see till we start eating we wait if any guests or sadhus are waiting, we call them all inside. Once we decide to eat we lock the door, we sit comfortably and put banana leaf.
Why the leaf you know? In plate if you put the food you may not be aware and you may be little inactive looking this side that side. If it is on leaf, the food will be constantly flowing out. So in full speed you have to finish it. You have to be completely attending. If you are talking here and there the food would have gone out. To have your attention completely on the food only we have a system of banana leaf. And it is a big art. Unless you are completely aware of the food you can’t eat in banana leaf.
It’s a technique. And this side you have to play and this side you have to play, that side and you must almost maintain the border boundary. And then kap, kap, kap, kap..It's almost playing with food, living with food. So I wanted from today all our Anna Mandirs to serve in banana leaf, Serve come on. Let’s start. Sit nicely and play with food and eat. That’s the way we eat.
Our furnitures, our way of life, our jewelleries, everything is so sacred. Everything is connected to spirituality. Understand I am... When you are not enjoying all these things you will start enjoying these foolish ideas like a countries, state, my country, my flat.
How they are not able to understand this golden throne and these energy bead jewelleries, I am not able to understand. But I don’t criticise you guys. I just keep quiet. “Okay, it is their way of life”. I respect. Why are you guys constantly poking at me; because I keep quiet? Get lost! Give me a break!!
Even you understand in one element the freedom, you will understand how binding this ordinary world. So, if you understand the freedom in all dimensions and able to retain that in your bio memory; that is what I call enlightenment. Understand this one example, this example. Today try to do this. Watch some movie or some YouTube clip related to space for some one or two hours. When you come back to normal sense or abnormal sense that’s the right word I will use, how you feel? See the difference. If this one element can give so much free feeling, if you are freed in all five, how you will feel? Contemplate on this today. And share this one truth today with at least five people.
If you have any question or answer or person who understood the idea you shared, bring all three tomorrow for the satsang. Today I am not seeing you guys have done yesterday’s home work. Please understand, the homework is important even for the ashramites.
Whoever is sitting in the moment, at this moment in satsang is 780 places, in 232 cities in 27 countries, all of you understand this one truth. If you feel the expanded, broad understanding about elements, how you feel liberated when you come down how you feel bound?
Just one understanding can give so much of liberated feeing then if you understand the broadness in all five dimensions, what will happen? So this one truth, go round and share, convince at least five people; enrol at least five people for this truth. At least give this, share this truth with five people and enrol them for it.
And that person who wrote email another one point also she wrote, "I know for sure many people whose mother tongue is English are there around Swamiji. Why is he making again and again the same mistakes in English?”
I wanted her to let her know my English is neither UK English, US English, Bharatn English; it is my own English!!It is my own language.
In Bharatn languages we have a special word called, ‘asha prayoga'. 'Asha prayoga’, means whatever master utters you cannot find any grammar mistakes in it. Whatever he utters is ultimate. Because I am trying to express which can’t be expressed, so I cannot be using or putting myself to the constraints of the language and the grammar written by the fools who have not seen anything beyond words.
That is why in Sanskrit, the Sanskrit grammar is created by the people who have seen things beyond words, like Patanjali. He knows, so many are going to see the space beyond words. They should not have the same difficulty which he had. That is why he made a clear rule: Whatever Masters talk is ‘asha prayoga’ means usage of a rishi . So he does come under any grammar rules, regulations; no fault can be found. So I declare not only to that lady to the whole world, whatever I am talking whether it is English, Tamil, Sanskrit or any other language which I speak during kalpatarus, in any other program, all I utter comes under the category of ‘asha prayoga’. The meaning I give is the meaning for it.
After all you understand what I am saying. That is the purpose of the language. Then what is the other problem? Why should always be the problems of grammar come in?
"I say, you listen, you understand. You say, I listen; why grammar"? Arey what for the language? To express what I am trying to express and for you to understand what I am trying to express. That’s all. When the purpose is solved why are you bothered so much about the language?
It’s like I am pointing towards the moon. This is just a finger pointing to the moon. Look at the moon. Instead they catch my finger and hang on it and some time try to bite. My words are nothing but finger pointing to the moon. Just look at the moon. Why are you wasting your brain, already you have very less and wasting that also into some useless things?
This is Bharatn way of speaking. Aaarey I am a small boy from an Bharatn village. And I am not interested in correcting my accent and I am not interested in correcting my grammar mistakes. I am not interested in teaching English language or reaching out to the high fluent English speaking crowd. Neither they are going to listen to my ideology nor I am interested in convincing them. I am interested in ordinary simple people who are interested in simple truths in the language I am saying like, " I tellu, you undertandu, you tellu, I understandu". The like that mental people are enough for me.
If you write once more this kind of email, I'll change my language into, "I tellu, you understandu" I'll start speaking and I’ll set this as a trend.
Here I am trying to sit and explain some extraordinary things. And I learnt the whole thing in original Sanskrit which is such a complicated language and concept. I am trying my best to put it in a common mans language. And after all you understand.
She writes very clearly. In the email I saw very clearly she understands what I am talking. And she put some questions also. That itself shows she is understanding.
"I tellu, you understandu. You tellu, I understandu, What problemu?"
And this is the way we speak English in Bharatn villages. And I wanted all Bharatn villagers who studied some engineering and went and settled in US as IT professional, I want all of them to be comfortable with me. And I am not interested in teaching to people...And the whole US only 3 and half percent people speak fluent high quality English. I am catering to a simple ordinary people who mix Spanish and English, English and Telugu, Tamil and English; who live in a simple way like me. I am interested only sharing my truth with them.
And if somebody knows better English than me, please go and find out your truth from some other sad gurus. They may be speaking 'bettterr Engliss'. And I'll continue to make the same mistakes and more and more mistakes. I think enough for today.
Let me come back to the subject.
Understand this one truth today. Never ever disrespect Bharatn tradition, Bharatn way of dressing, Bharatn way of eating, Bharatn way of talking, Bharatn way of furniture’s. I think this truth you understand.
Let me come to the spiritual truth.
Even if you feel liberated in one element, how you feel? Your whole life fear, problems, anxiety everything has disappeared for those few hours. See when you are watching some movie or experiencing the space, for those few hours your fear, greed, anger, ideas about life everything has disappeared, different. When you come down, problem starts. Ability to retain that freedom where your anger, fear, greed, everything disappears is enlightenment.
Even if one element if you are liberated, how it becomes different? If you are liberated in all five elements: time, senses, conditions, awareness and elements. Tomorrow I'll give you a detailed step by step technique to be liberated from all these five.
Today take this one truth. If you are liberated even in one element how your life is different. Understand that and share this truth at least with five people.
If you get more questions, get back. If you get more answers bring it. If you have more people who are inspired, you must be having. If you are not able to enrol five people for this truth, this truth has not worked on you. Work on it. If you have at least few people who understand this truth, bring them tomorrow. Bring all three to the satsang. I’ll attend all three.
So I bless you all to achieve, live, experience, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda!
Thank you.
Patanjali Yoga Sutras – 119 Altered States of Consciousness Part 2 DATE: Feb 17th 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 56:05
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees and disciples who are sitting with us around the world in 731 places, in 197 cities, in 25 countries. Oh GOD!! The number is not just growing, it’s exploding! I welcome all of you with my love and respects.
And many of the ashrams and temples have started joining with two video conferencing. First, Phoenix; yesterday Phoenix joined. I am welcoming Phoenix. Jayesh Bhai welcome! So Los Angeles, Seattle, Ohio, San Jose, Hyderabad are the other cities I am able to see I am seeing on two way.
And Los Angeles has an LBP acharya training teachers training starting tomorrow; my blessings to Los Angeles and for LBP Acharya training.
And I have many messages from many satsang centres; very emotional. One from Atlanta satsang centre which says, "Swamiji's words are really touching our hearts and it’s really it’s really sad to hear the harassment, abusal, false charges are still continuing. Swamiji rightly said that we will fast on March 2nd; if needed, we will fast till death. On behalf of Atlanta centre, I'd like to announce that all devotees here will observe fasting on March 2nd and we will send support letter signed with blood very soon. Let’s all join our hands to destroy negativity for global peace.
This way, we are getting letters continuously from all corners around the world and this is another one letter from Ma Nithya Sarvabhaktini. I do not know from which centre. They had paduka, they had vibhooti in their padukas in their centre; may be Bangalore. So, hmm hmm.... So they sent a photograph of vibhooti appearing in the padukas. My blessings to the centre!
Some more letters are there from many centres who are really sad to see the abusals.
Today I am continuing on the same sutras; yesterday’s sutras; the 119th sutra, chapter 3rd and 13th verse, one third verse "Altered States of Awareness”.
"aetena bhootaindriyeshu dharmalakshana avasthaa parimnama vyakhytaha"
I think I read out the translation yesterday. Today I’ll start exploring one dimension of this sutra.
Yesterday I was revealing one truth related to this sutra. One, when you expand your understanding about the different states of awareness; your fear, greed, joy, everything changes. Naturally, many of the problems which you think as problem, disappears. When the awareness is too clouded, too narrow, it sees even a mustard seed as mountain.
Please understand. I'll define enlightenment. Enlightenment means, having expanded complete understanding about the cosmos, continuously and ability to maintain that understanding in your muscle memory and bio memory continuously. That’s all.
I'll give you one example. If you sit and watch some movie which is related to space where they explain in a very detailed and a way very interesting way; Sun, moon, other stars, other galaxies, the whole cosmos. You see that kind of a movie, especially if you see in IMAX theatre for 3 hours, you are completely transported to a different space.
Suddenly when you come back and understand; Oh! You are coming back to the planet earth and your continent, your country and your state, your city, your village finally the compound where you are staying. You will feel Oh God! Such a huge universe, what are we? Small dust and ants: Human beings, we are fighting for such silly things?
I always used to feel whenever I land in a flight. When you are there the whole universe, the whole cosmos is there. By the time the flight lands into the compound wall of the airport, you know this useless idiotic system of the state, country, politics, ownership, land. When the aircraft is landing inside the compound, when the compound wall of the airport is growing and growing around you, you just know, GOD! Where was I and where am I? That is exactly I feel whenever I open my eyes. Where was I and where am I? All happens in you is just desha.
See Patanjali here uses the word, very beautiful word. He uses the word ‘bhoota’. Just you had a understanding about 'bhoota' elements. For that two hours when you saw that IMAX movie or the two hours when you are in the flight you had a broad understanding about elements, that’s all. Just that one understanding has suddenly shifted you to a different space. If you can catch what I am saying you will understand. Two hours if you see some movie related to space and slowly get back to this so called ugly, dirty, third rate, abused reality. That is the truth. The moment you enter, land, the moment air craft lands on the airport, you know your very consciousness is getting into a kind of an ideological prison. Wow!! Now it is this state, this country, these are the law, these are the rule, these are the regulation, this is the way you are supposed to act.
Poor human beings! If you just have the understanding of an element for only two three hours, how you feel when you come back to this foolishness. Oh God! How nice it will be if I stay there itself. I am giving you one example. I have seen. Whenever, see when the flight is high in the sky, whole thing look like a small dust and you don’t bother who is prime minister, who is president, who is chief minister, who is governor, who is police, who is lawyer, who is judge.
The moment you land especially slowly when the walls of the airport is seen bigger and bigger, from there if you see actually it looks like a matchsticks arranged. When the matchstick grow to a 10 ft wall and when you come down suddenly you realise Oh God! You are in a large prison.
Understanding about one element for few hours itself can give such a liberated experience. Then understand all the five important factors: time, element, state, awareness and senses organs; if you understand all these five in a very broad way, then understand the depth of the freedom you will experience.
A man who never accepts any meditation technique or any ideology related to surrendering or practice, J Krishnamurthy, even he accepts sitting with everyday sunrise and sunset. That is only ritual he promoted his whole life. During sunrise and sunset he asks you to sit and surrender yourself to the whole. It’s a very powerful technique I tell you. Just during sunrise and sunset, sit. You will suddenly feel God! Universe is too big! Your problems are too small.
The foolish few thousand, few hundred acres you can fence it and have it as yours, yours, yours and the dirty foolish things for which you are wasting your whole life is nothing but small pebbles lying around here and there; the diamond and gold for which you sacrifice your whole life. When you understand life is bigger, broader in these five dimensions; elements, senses organs, nature attributes, time factor, awareness states: In these five even one if you understand, so much of freedom is experienced.
I am not saying if you understand and experience that freedom, you will dump all this. No. You will give importance to all this how much needed to be given. Not more than that. I am really telling you, it is good to have a kingdom but it is very bad for kingdom to have you. Your inner space is too valuable.
Yesterday, lady; I don’t know whether lady or male or female sent an email to me. It's kind of an anonymous email where she was criticising why this jewellery, coloured dress, throne? Truth does not need fancy wrapper.
I wanted her to understand. Truth does not need fancy wrapper but the moment you think this is a fancy wrapper, the truth which I say will not be helpful for you. Just get lost. I am a simple man who likes simple things. Please understand I am a simple man who likes simple things. When I say ‘simple’; the best things is what I like! That’s it.
And I wanted this FREE???? to know, neither this throne is gold throne nor this cloth is very costly. Actually this cloth is cheaper than the cloth which I used to wear. Am just making fun of her but the truth is this cloth is cheaper than the ordinary cloth. This meter is,This cloth is meter one dollar. The whole dress which I am wearing may be 6 to 7 dollar. That’s all! And surely that lady is wearing much more costly dress than me. I can be sure. If somebody gives 6 dollar, I can give this dress; so only that much worthy. And that lady who wrote the email must be sitting much more costlier sofa than this throne. This whole thing may be costing some 200, 300 dollar. It’s is copper made. It's not golden. But she must be sitting in much more costlier chair than this throne. She must be wearing much more costlier dress than this dress.
This looks pretty. Why are you jealous?
Just because this looks good she thinks it is costly. And even the energy beads which are which I am wearing are simple, ordinary rudraksha with ordinary beads. It looks very pretty because of two things; one because my disciples made with a lot of love, second; I am wearing it!!! And I am very clear about it. It is not that I am hiding. Arey I am showing...
Today I did not wear because our energy bead in-charge was having some other work, little busy. She did not make anything new so I did not wear today. Anyhow tomorrow I am going to wear. Don’t think I did not wear because lady wrote email. No, no!! And more over our Bharatn traditional dress, furnitures, jewellery, all these has been abused, defamed, made as out of fashion. So here I am trying not only to tell the truth to the world, I wanted the Bharatn fancy wrapper to be promoted to the world.
So I am warning that person, these guys may be the.... you will be really happy if you go to some sad gurus. And I sincerely recommend you find out very soon some sad guru in your life and carry on with your journey. I am going to be sitting in thrones, I am going to wearing Bharatn energy bead jewelleries; I am going to be wearing Bharatn clothes, in Bharatn way.
Actually the original truth is, all these things are completely cheaper than the any middle class western furniture or many middle class western dress or any middle class western jewellery. That’s the truth. But because it looks pretty, you think it is costly. So you should find out the reason why it looks pretty. Don’t come to the wrong conclusion. So it cannot be just because it is pretty, don’t think it is costly.
I wanted everyone to know I wanted to solve this problem once for all. I am not only interested in keeping the spiritual sacred truths and sacred secrets alive, I am interested in keeping the Vedic culture, tradition, Vedic way of eating, Vedic way of dressing, Vedic way of sitting, Vedic way of furnitures, Vedic way of living, Vedic way of medicines; I am interested in reviving, keeping everything alive.
I sincerely recommend and promote all our disciples to use and live as many ways as possible in Vedic way; whether it is our food or dress or jewellery or furniture's, anything. So I am answering this question and attending this problem once for all.
Understand. Just if in one element if you are liberated how you feel? When you land how you feel bound, in me all through five, in all charac, through all five characteristics I am liberated and I land. How I feel? But still I land just to tell you how it feels up there.
And these perverted minds which are caught only in the throne, why did you look at the throne? If you are looking at the throne, you are not watching the satsang. No really, many of our disciples at least who are feeling connected to me they don’t look beyond this frame. They don’t even remember, they may be looking at the most the dress, the colour or the jewel because it is inside the frame. Other than that I don’t think anybody is bothered about the throne. If you are bothered about the throne either you are jealous or you are agitated, irritated.
That old little lady staying in the neighbour house, neighbourhood and screaming and shouting and irritated about anything and everything happening, whether it is raining or shining or snowing she will be irritated and cursing everybody and everything. If you are that kind of person, let God save you. But the problem is when He gives his hand to save you, you will only see the energy bead jewellery and criticise that also.
So let you save yourself if you can. Because why should I give the hand, if they are not going to hold that and come up, if they are going to use that also to criticize once more? Not only I am wearing, I am telling that person who wrote the email very clearly, I am making enough large quantity of jewels. I am myself sitting and designing also. All my ashramites, bramhacharis, bramhacharinis, everybody is going to wear.
Unfortunately all these rich Vedic way of life is not promoted with the glamour or charisma. All the people who are charismatic started using all the western things and dumped the eastern things and all the fellows who were using the Bharatn things, those fellows are almost living in dustbin. They did not have any charisma. So they were not able to add glory to the Bharatn tradition and culture. So I have decided to build a structure with charisma and promote the Vedic symbols, the Vedic way of life. I have decided not to depend on any other models to promote the Vedic tradition.
It’s time we promote all Vedic way of life directly. So today I am announcing one important announcement and I am dedicating this announcement and this activity to this person who wrote this email. All our ashrams and temples and satsang centres should have a energy bead jewellery shop. And I declare using energy bead jewellery helps in your levitation, physical healing, mental healing and spiritual enlightenment.
So I recommend all our devotees, disciples to use as much as possible energy bead jewelleries and the way I am dressing, it is called yoga vastra; this kind of dress and if you can even make this kind of thrones and use in your office. No really. I can do the mass production and start supplying. Arey really I am telling you. In US I have seen all these massage chairs and this that easily cost 2000 dollar 3000 dollar. But this whole chair cost only 200 dollars, not more than 200 dollar and I don’t think in US you will any good chair for 200 dollar. In the US ordinary seat which I am using in many discourses you will see, not the throne, the ordinary seat that has costed 700 dollar. I know just ordinary sofa. And for the 700 dollar I’ll make you bigger golden throne than this.
Anyhow I am adding golden throne also one more product in energy bead jewellery. We will start producing golden thrones also in mass and supplying. It’s time all you guys in your office have one, one throne. You are all kings!
Now this lady if she is watching this satsang, just disappear somewhere. What do you guys mean by criticising our way of life? I don’t come and criticise your way of life. Why are you criticising my way of life? So I am telling all our devotees, disciples use energy bead jewellery, wear this kind of Bharatn way of dressing and sit in golden throne. Let us revive this way of life.
And I tell you energy bead jewellery, any part you wear that part nadi will be awakened; whether it is on the throat or on the kurma nadi or on the matsya nadi, any nadi. This is kurma nadi. This is matsya nadi. Any nadi you wear that nadi will be awakened. And these thrones you can't.... If you have back pain, sit in this throne for two weeks it will be completely healed because you have to always sit straight, balanced. Sit in this kind of seat. It's 90 degree. Naturally you will not have any back pain, neck pain or any pain.
I am a person who is sitting for hours and hours and hours. I am telling you, I am promoting and advertising; for so many almost ten to twelve hours I sit a day. Sitting 10 to 12 hours a day I am not having back pain because of this type of thrones.
So I am promoting this and I will make in mass and start it selling it, sending it to all the countries all over the world. All our acharyas, our disciples, our devotees in your house use this kind of seats and I will make it available just less than 200 dollars. We can do it because it not gold. It is actually a plastic sheet gold painted and stuck in such a way and it looks like gold. And the art work is done and I was also thinking these artists have lost their job because of this modern day furniture’s and this whole art is dead now. Now I wanted to revive it. I wanted to revive this art because it’s handmade. It’s a handicrafts and I will revive this art.
So I am dedicating this whole department and revival of this art to the person who wrote this email. If she would have kept quiet at least she would have seen only me in the throne. Now she has to see everybody in the throne. It is not fancy wrapper; it is a fashion statement I am giving.
And I wanted really our way of life, our way of eating; I want all our disciples to learn eating in the hands; eating with the hands. Not using any object between your food and your mouth. Use the hand, feel the food, ‘Annam Bramhmeti’; ‘Food is God’. Sense it, experience it with your hand and then imbibe it. When you touch with your hand and imbibe you are hugging the food.
First of all they don’t eat fresh food. Somebody packed somewhere and you need to dump it inside to run and do your job. Poor New Yorkers! How they eat? I have seen. While they drive or run, in the between the ears and the shoulder cell phone, in one hand the car, car, in the other hand a sandwich and between thighs hot coffee. And go and hit somebody, get ticket. Not only get ticket when you hit somebody, that hot coffee will spill all over and have some injury also‼
We eat in rich way. We sit comfortably, put banana leaf, dump all the fresh food, hot, hot and mix it nicely with hand and do it like a ritual for two and a half hours. And I am proud about it. I am not feeling sad about it and I am not feeling guilty about it. So I sincerely recommend all our disciples, even if you eat only twice a day, eat like this. Sit nicely, comfortably and switch off the cell phone.
In Bharat still we lock the door when we eat. In Bharatn villages, see before, till we start eating we keep the door open and wait for any beggars or sadhus to come. That moment we decide yes nobody is there and we decide to eat, see till we start eating we wait if any guests or sadhus are waiting, we call them all inside. Once we decide to eat we lock the door, we sit comfortably and put banana leaf.
Why the leaf you know? In plate if you put the food you may not be aware and you may be little inactive looking this side that side. If it is on leaf, the food will be constantly flowing out. So in full speed you have to finish it. You have to be completely attending. If you are talking here and there the food would have gone out. To have your attention completely on the food only we have a system of banana leaf. And it is a big art. Unless you are completely aware of the food you can’t eat in banana leaf.
It’s a technique. And this side you have to play and this side you have to play, that side and you must almost maintain the border boundary. And then kap, kap, kap, kap..It's almost playing with food, living with food. So I wanted from today all our Anna Mandirs to serve in banana leaf, Serve come on. Let’s start. Sit nicely and play with food and eat. That’s the way we eat.
Our furnitures, our way of life, our jewelleries, everything is so sacred. Everything is connected to spirituality. Understand I am... When you are not enjoying all these things you will start enjoying these foolish ideas like a countries, state, my country, my flat.
How they are not able to understand this golden throne and these energy bead jewelleries, I am not able to understand. But I don’t criticise you guys. I just keep quiet. “Okay, it is their way of life”. I respect. Why are you guys constantly poking at me; because I keep quiet? Get lost! Give me a break!!
Even you understand in one element the freedom, you will understand how binding this ordinary world. So, if you understand the freedom in all dimensions and able to retain that in your bio memory; that is what I call enlightenment. Understand this one example, this example. Today try to do this. Watch some movie or some YouTube clip related to space for some one or two hours. When you come back to normal sense or abnormal sense that’s the right word I will use, how you feel? See the difference. If this one element can give so much free feeling, if you are freed in all five, how you will feel? Contemplate on this today. And share this one truth today with at least five people.
If you have any question or answer or person who understood the idea you shared, bring all three tomorrow for the satsang. Today I am not seeing you guys have done yesterday’s home work. Please understand, the homework is important even for the ashramites.
Whoever is sitting in the moment, at this moment in satsang is 780 places, in 232 cities in 27 countries, all of you understand this one truth. If you feel the expanded, broad understanding about elements, how you feel liberated when you come down how you feel bound?
Just one understanding can give so much of liberated feeing then if you understand the broadness in all five dimensions, what will happen? So this one truth, go round and share, convince at least five people; enrol at least five people for this truth. At least give this, share this truth with five people and enrol them for it.
And that person who wrote email another one point also she wrote, "I know for sure many people whose mother tongue is English are there around Swamiji. Why is he making again and again the same mistakes in English?”
I wanted her to let her know my English is neither UK English, US English, Bharatn English; it is my own English!!It is my own language.
In Bharatn languages we have a special word called, ‘asha prayoga'. 'Asha prayoga’, means whatever master utters you cannot find any grammar mistakes in it. Whatever he utters is ultimate. Because I am trying to express which can’t be expressed, so I cannot be using or putting myself to the constraints of the language and the grammar written by the fools who have not seen anything beyond words.
That is why in Sanskrit, the Sanskrit grammar is created by the people who have seen things beyond words, like Patanjali. He knows, so many are going to see the space beyond words. They should not have the same difficulty which he had. That is why he made a clear rule: Whatever Masters talk is ‘asha prayoga’ means usage of a rishi . So he does come under any grammar rules, regulations; no fault can be found. So I declare not only to that lady to the whole world, whatever I am talking whether it is English, Tamil, Sanskrit or any other language which I speak during kalpatarus, in any other program, all I utter comes under the category of ‘asha prayoga’. The meaning I give is the meaning for it.
After all you understand what I am saying. That is the purpose of the language. Then what is the other problem? Why should always be the problems of grammar come in?
"I say, you listen, you understand. You say, I listen; why grammar"? Arey what for the language? To express what I am trying to express and for you to understand what I am trying to express. That’s all. When the purpose is solved why are you bothered so much about the language?
It’s like I am pointing towards the moon. This is just a finger pointing to the moon. Look at the moon. Instead they catch my finger and hang on it and some time try to bite. My words are nothing but finger pointing to the moon. Just look at the moon. Why are you wasting your brain, already you have very less and wasting that also into some useless things?
This is Bharatn way of speaking. Aaarey I am a small boy from an Bharatn village. And I am not interested in correcting my accent and I am not interested in correcting my grammar mistakes. I am not interested in teaching English language or reaching out to the high fluent English speaking crowd. Neither they are going to listen to my ideology nor I am interested in convincing them. I am interested in ordinary simple people who are interested in simple truths in the language I am saying like, " I tellu, you undertandu, you tellu, I understandu". The like that mental people are enough for me.
If you write once more this kind of email, I'll change my language into, "I tellu, you understandu" I'll start speaking and I’ll set this as a trend.
Here I am trying to sit and explain some extraordinary things. And I learnt the whole thing in original Sanskrit which is such a complicated language and concept. I am trying my best to put it in a common mans language. And after all you understand.
She writes very clearly. In the email I saw very clearly she understands what I am talking. And she put some questions also. That itself shows she is understanding.
"I tellu, you understandu. You tellu, I understandu, What problemu?"
And this is the way we speak English in Bharatn villages. And I wanted all Bharatn villagers who studied some engineering and went and settled in US as IT professional, I want all of them to be comfortable with me. And I am not interested in teaching to people...And the whole US only 3 and half percent people speak fluent high quality English. I am catering to a simple ordinary people who mix Spanish and English, English and Telugu, Tamil and English; who live in a simple way like me. I am interested only sharing my truth with them.
And if somebody knows better English than me, please go and find out your truth from some other sad gurus. They may be speaking 'bettterr Engliss'. And I'll continue to make the same mistakes and more and more mistakes. I think enough for today.
Let me come back to the subject.
Understand this one truth today. Never ever disrespect Bharatn tradition, Bharatn way of dressing, Bharatn way of eating, Bharatn way of talking, Bharatn way of furniture’s. I think this truth you understand.
Let me come to the spiritual truth.
Even if you feel liberated in one element, how you feel? Your whole life fear, problems, anxiety everything has disappeared for those few hours. See when you are watching some movie or experiencing the space, for those few hours your fear, greed, anger, ideas about life everything has disappeared, different. When you come down, problem starts. Ability to retain that freedom where your anger, fear, greed, everything disappears is enlightenment.
Even if one element if you are liberated, how it becomes different? If you are liberated in all five elements: time, senses, conditions, awareness and elements. Tomorrow I'll give you a detailed step by step technique to be liberated from all these five.
Today take this one truth. If you are liberated even in one element how your life is different. Understand that and share this truth at least with five people.
If you get more questions, get back. If you get more answers bring it. If you have more people who are inspired, you must be having. If you are not able to enrol five people for this truth, this truth has not worked on you. Work on it. If you have at least few people who understand this truth, bring them tomorrow. Bring all three to the satsang. I’ll attend all three.
So I bless you all to achieve, live, experience, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda!
Thank you.

Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees, disciples who are sitting with us around the world at this moment in 515 places, in 188 cities, in 22 countries. And many cities are with us in two way connection. I am able to see Ohio, Seattle, San José, Los Angeles, Redondo Beach, Phoenix, Hyderabad. I am able to see all these temples.
I welcome all of you. So before entering into the satsang, I remind you all get back to padmasana, or vajrasana or samana mudra. We will start the eN-experience.
I am continuing on the same 119th sutra in Patanjali's Yoga Sutra; in the third chapter, 13th verse ‘Altered States of Awareness’; ‘parinama awastha’. Today I'll expand on the deeper aspects of these sutras. ‘yetena bhoota indriyeshu dharmalakshana awastha parinaama vyakhyataha’
‘etena bhoota indriyeshu dharmalakshana avasta parinama vyakhyataha’
Let me explain the basic concept; what Patanjali is trying to express through this sutra. When you broaden your understanding, the strategy planning and the technical decisions you make about life drastically changes. That change cognitive shift brings the highest possible liberation in you which expresses as the extraordinary ‘ishwaratva’; leadership qualities in you.
Please understand. I am translating ‘ishwaratva’ as leadership qualities. In the ashtama siddhis, ‘ishwarartva’ is one siddhi. It is always translated and interpreted as becoming powerful. But I would like translate that word ‘ishwaratva’ as becoming leader. Becoming leader is no way related to powerful or forceful. NO. Just realising by innate nature you are a leader and the extraordinary qualities of leader.
I wanted to give you the example of Sharada Devi, wife of Ramakrishna. Till the last moment she lived such a simple humble life. Ordinary way of living but she was the leader practically of the largest Hindu missionary organisation; Ramakrishna mission. Till the end, all the major strategic plannings and decisions were taken to her presence. Only with her consent and her blessings all major strategic planning’s were done, all major strategic decisions were taken. I can neither define her as powerful or forceful but just because of her leadership qualities, a non controversial acceptance about her decisions happened in the organisation.
Ishwaratva means becoming leader. When you expand your understanding, when you broaden your understanding in any area, suddenly you become ishwara. You become leader in that space. Patanjali is trying to give us understanding in five fields. How to become ishwara? Means, a lord, a leader, liberated.
When everything is under your control, you are liberated from it. For example, if your body is under your control you are liberated from body. Only if you are liberated, you will become leader of the body or body will be under your control. If your mind is under your control, you are liberated from mind. Only if you are liberated from mind, mind will be under your control. Only if you are liberated from emotions only you become higher than emotions, only if emotions are under your control, you can become leader of emotions. In every field how to become leader, how to be liberated? When you have the broad understanding, your strategies change. Your cognition changes, your experience changes. That liberates you. That liberates you.
One example: Patanjali says here,' indriyeshu': senses. When you have complete understanding about senses, suddenly all your desire, greed for the sensual pleasures and your fear; what will happen if I don’t have sensual pleasures, disappears. You will have a different understanding about sense and sensual pleasures. I am not saying you will throw away all the sense pleasures. No. Same way I am not saying you will indulge in all sense pleasures. NO; neither suppression nor expression. An extraordinary understanding, a cognitive shift will happen when you have understanding about senses.
Let me enter into that understanding. I will take you step by step into the understanding about senses. See when you are having a very narrow understanding about senses, a little bit of excitement which happens in your eyes when you see some scene or person whom you want to see, you are addicted to it. A little bit of excitement happen in your ears when you listen some sound or words which you wanted to hear which you like, you are addicted to it. A kind of an excitement or feeling you experience in the tongue, when you experience the food which you wanted to eat, you call that as a pleasure; you are addicted to it.
I know people travel from country to country just to eat the food. Really, I can’t understand. One person came to our satsang when I was in Paris. He was telling me every week he goes to Italy. Of course Paris and Italy is not too far away. But he drives all the way to Italy just to eat particular food. I said, “I can’t understand this”. He made a comment, “Same way I can’t understand why will you go from place to place to talk to people”? Then I said, “Alright you are in a different world, I am in a different world. Let us depart as friends”. People go from place to place just to eat. People go travel from country to country just to hear particular music shows, music programs.
And the same way a touch, particular touch, particular persons touch, when it excites you, you are addicted to it. When you have very narrow understanding about senses, you are having different kind of greed or fear to that senses. Please understand I am making an important statement. A narrow understanding about senses drastically reduces the kundalini awakening in your bio memory in turn reduces the mitochondria cell energy level and makes your senses dull, but your greed violent, which makes a deep frustration and depression in your life.
Narrow understanding is what I will call as caught in the sense pleasures.
Vedic tradition again and again tells through hundreds of stories, incidents - "suppression is not the way of life". But they go on insisting on vairagya, liberation. It’s a big conflict. How can I not suppress but be liberated?
Again and again Krishna is worshiped as a ‘Jagat Guru’; Liberated soul. Thousands of women around Him; ‘vasudevasutam devam kamsachanura mardanam; devaki paramanandam vande krishnam jagat guru’. Bhagvatam sings His glory as Jagat Guru, Master of the universe. Then how he can be a liberated being? Because He had a broad complete understanding about senses. I am only telling, I wanted to make it clear, I only wanted to tell you, have broad understanding about senses like Krishna.
Let me give you the definition of narrow understanding and broad understanding. Narrow understanding means, thinking when certain object comes in contact with that sense, you experience excitement. The broad understanding, the right understanding, is the awareness which is alive in you being sucked to that sense particularly intensely when those objects come in contact with that sense.
Please understand. It is because of your awareness rushing towards that sense intensely, you experience the excitement. Not because of the object coming in contact with that sense.
I tell you the life awareness which you experience in you in ananda gandha, if it rushes intensely towards any one sense; you will have excitement in that sense for whatever may be the reason. If you know this truth suddenly you will have a broad understanding about senses. Then you know “Oh God! Then just the object coming in contact may not be an immediate necessity, may not be an exact necessity for me to have sensual pleasures”. With this understanding many of your needs and greeds will disappear. Many of your fears will disappear.
When you have a greed for certain man or woman in your life, you will have fear that he or she may not be in your life forever. After sometime you will have fear he may be there in your life forever!! At one line, at one point the 'may not be' will be fear. May be after sometime, at some point the 'may be' will be the fear. Whether 'may be' creates fear or 'may not be' creates fear, the fear will be there as long as the understanding is narrow, understanding is too shallow.
Shankara very beautifully explains the initiation with a very powerful example called ‘bramarakitanyaya’. In English if I translate that ‘bramarakitanyaya’ it will be called as 'bee logic'. Bramharikita means when a bee wants to expand its family, it goes and pick ups, picks up few worms and make a small mud shell and keeps the worm inside, worms inside; sits in the entrance entry point, goes on creating intense sound. That sound is mantra diksha, initiation. In that sound the worms will become bee. Just using the sense of sound the bee is able to reproduce. It doesn’t need any other organ for reproduction.
You may think why I give this example. Please understand I wanted you to know, all your five senses can do the job of all other four senses without the need of other four senses. Your eyes can hear, smell, experience the touch pleasure and taste without the use of ears, nose, tongue and touch. Please understand. I have seen yogis, I have seen yogis physically able to play the other roles of senses through one sense.
I am not even asking you to go to the extreme of physically demonstrating. Even if you have the understanding, your understanding fear, greed, about the senses will expand. And make you as a leader.
See if you can practice Hatha yoga, you will become leader even physically. I have seen my own teacher Raghupati Yogi, he will take a thread and blow the thread just through the eyes. Through the eyes he will release air; inhale and exhale, he will throw the thread. I have seen another one yogi Swami Boova. He was in New York. He was, may be two years before I met him in Bharat, he wrote a beautiful poem about me, “The greatest incarnation in the modern day", a very big poetry. He came all the way to meet me and present that poetry. And when he met me he was more than 107, very strong sturdy stable. The funny part is just through the eyes not only he was able to blow the thread; even the lamp! He lit a lamp and just kept near the eyes and blew it away, through the eyes.
The ability to use any sense for any purpose; I want you to know any one of your sense can experience any other senses. This is one understanding. Second understanding, all your pleasure is not because of object coming in the contact with the sense but the awareness coming in contact with the sense.
I wanted all our kids to be trained from the young age in this science of having pleasure by bringing awareness coming in contact with the senses; not just object coming in contact.
I can give you the simple technique. Close your whole body with sambhavi mudra. Actually when you use the sambhavi mudra and close the ears, eyes, nose, lip and the cheek, the whole body will be closed; because cheek is the door for touch. That’s why cheek plays such a major role in our romance, love, lust. It’s a door.
So all five doors when you close it, and bring your awareness to one centre, you will see all five senses will have excitement. Even this roller coasters, why do you think people enjoy? Because when your body is completely twisted made to run through in all directions, suddenly your life energy explodes and gushes to all the senses. That intense gushing causes you kind of a pleasure. That is why people are addicted to that adrenalin, that intense explosion, comes out and felt in the skins like adrenalin. Otherwise why do you think these theme parks have become such a big popularity, popular; modern day teetha kshetras.
See any country, if you want to know the back bone of the country, find out where largest number of people gather. In Bharat where largest number of people gather? Tirupathi, Varanasi, Rameshwaram.
Understand, when you bring the understanding, the joy and excitement in the senses is not because of the object coming in contact with them but your attention and awareness coming in contact with them; your understanding about senses expands.
Ramana Maharshi puts it very beautifully. A dog trying to chew the dry bone so violently that dry bone pokes in mouth of the dog and from his own mouth the blood is coming but the dog is drinking that blood thinking that it is coming from the dry bone.
You jump on the senses so violently, so aggressively, the awareness which is coming from your ananda gandha and hitting your senses gives excitement and pleasure; not the object which is coming in contact with the senses.
If the object is source of pleasure.....see if you eat three laddoos you feel intense pleasure in the tongue but the sixth or seventh one says, "No. I think now ok". The tenth or eleventh one, "no, no, no enough"! 12th one you feel like escaping. If the object is responsible for sense pleasure why when more and more is added it is not adding joy?
Same way listening; half an hour you can listen few songs. If the same is repeated, after 2 hours you feel no, no enough. After 3 hours it’s a torture. Sometime even first half an hour is torture that is different. Any sense experience, if object is responsible for the pleasure, when more and more is added it is supposed to expand and continue. Then why it is not happening? Same way a scene after few minutes you feel like, it’s ok, let’s see something else.
The constant change is required because object is not responsible for the pleasure. It is the subject gushing into the indriyas, into the senses which is responsible for joy. If you imbibe, inculcate this understanding, many of your greed, need, fears related to senses will disappear. You are liberated from senses; Indriya vimukta, you become liberated from senses; indriya vimukta. You become the leader of senses. Actually when you imbibe this understanding and grind inside you so many doors will open and so many understandings will happen.
A man who lives with a broad understanding about senses his kundalini is awakened and his mitochondria cell energy goes up heavily, he becomes a strong energetic person to enjoy senses or to live the senses or to leave the senses. He will have the complete freedom to enjoy intensely or leave intensely. He can live or leave. Please understand if you have the narrow understanding your kundalini gets suppressed, your mitochondria energy level will be less and you will neither have the power to enjoy and you will have the tremendous violent need to enjoy, which leads to frustration, impotence and everything. It is called vicious circle. We call it tairtriya redas in Sanskrit. If you have the broad understanding about senses, please understand when you imbibe this broad understandings your very thinking will be different. It will not be running towards a superficial sense objects.
A nun is giving her lessons to all the high school girls who are leaving their school. In the farewell speech she is saying ‘don’t spoil your life just for one hour pleasure’. A long sermon was over. One last row girl raised her hand. The nun was very happy that the sermon was received well and she is raising the hand to clarify her doubts because that girl used to be very notorious and disobedient. Nun was very happy that her sermon was understood and she has transformed; the notorious girl. Girl stood up and asked how do you make it last for one hour? If you understand, understand.
If you are caught with the narrow understanding of senses, neither you will be able to make it long nor you will be able to get out of the desire to make it long, which leads to frustration. When you have the broad understanding about the senses, first thing you are free from it. Second thing if you decide, you can make it any longer because the source of joy is anandha gandha, eternal. You will just see that you are there forever. Another one important thing; with this broad understanding your kundalini will be intensely awakened; very mitochondria energy level will be awakened. It will be different. You will be in intense joy eternally. Whether you have the other person or not, you will not even bother. You will neither bother to have nor bother to throw away. You will be just there. Having the broad understanding about the senses and because of that kundalini being awakened, neither you feel the need and you have the extraordinary capacity to live this liberated leadership experience is a virtuous circle. This is what we call urtva redas.
Please understand the vicious circle of neither having energy; you will not have energy but intense violent desire. This cycle is called vicious circle tairtriya redas. You will have extraordinary energy but no desire. This is called urtva redas virtuous circle. Just a cognitive shift in the understanding about sense liberates you from sense and makes you a leader in the level of sense.
Same way time, Lakshana. If you understand about time; here Patanjali speaks about five aspects. I will deal at least two today. We have dealt indriyeshu indriya then next lakshana time. If you understand…… please understand this important truth. I am revealing a sacred secret about time. Living in present is impossible. We always have a big theory; live in the present that is enlightenment. No. It is impossible. Live in past, present, future; all three put together at a time. That is liberation. Just yesterday I was teaching to my disciples how to conduct satsangs. I told them just make some statement before thinking and after that take one hour to justify it. That is the secret of satsang. Now I made a statement. Now I have to justify.
Understand, of course I have made a statement without thinking; but it is truth. I have made two statement. Living in the present is impossible. I am challenging all the gurus, sad gurus who go on teaching live in the present moment you will become enlightened and who are giving advices free freely. I wanted all of them to know if you are teaching people to live in the present moment you are making them schizophrenic. I am asking, after all at this moment 1000s of seekers are sitting with me, in front of me; you all would have tried to live in present enough number of times than the number of times you tried to have pleasure through the senses. At least when you try to have pleasure through senses, few seconds you will have pleasure but when you try to live in the present moment, even that few moments you will have the fear when will I lose this present moment. I tell you living in the present moment is the conspiracy created against the humanity to control human beings by these pseudo gurus.
If a psychiatrist promises you he will cure you he is not only a liar or just hypocrite; he is a criminal. How the psychiatry is built on a false promise people can be cured, there is a big group of pseudo spiritual leaders build their tradition and the philosophy by promising people will be liberated by living in the present moment. No. Living in the present moment is impossible. Come on try. Present moment, present moment, present moment; already it has become past and future. The very idea present moment, one part is already swallowed by past. One part is still coming out of the present. It is like when child comes out of the womb, death is swallowing the child. The mouth of the womb and mouth of the death has no gap. In that gap you are trying to live. No. Then what is liberation?
Liberation means living in all the three at a time. I am present in my past, in my present, in my future; means all three has become part of me, from me. Means I am the womb from which all three are getting delivered. Please understand if you try to live in present you will have the dent of the past and future in that egg. Just look at this moment, try to be in present. You will have that underlined sorrow you carry from the past under the underlined insecurity you have about future will be there part of this egg. Then how can you hatch enlightenment. Egg from hen cannot hatch horse or tiger.
Paramartha guru, a great intellectual and goes around the world and gives advice free freely had a great disciple team. One day he said ‘I want a baby elephant, please go and bring it from market’. These guys went there they saw an elephant with mahout and asked ‘we want baby elephant. We are ready to pay any amount, please get us a baby elephant’. By talking few minutes with these fellows the mahout realised these guys are fools. So he said ‘wait; wait, by evening it will lay the eggs, you take the eggs and keep it in your ashram and then after few days the elephant baby elephant will come out of the egg’. So these fools waited, waited, waited. By evening that elephant dropped and all the disciples were very happy seeing the elephant dropping and they started singing and dancing around that drop and they asked the mahout ‘when will the baby elephant come out of it?’ The mahout said ‘you have to take this very carefully and keep it in your ashram and wait for 21 days. Maybe once in a while sit and chant Bhagavad Gita and pray. So when the baby elephant comes out it will also start chanting Bhagavad Gita’. Pregnancy care! And gave all the instructions took 1000 gold coins, sent the disciples teams with a drop of elephant.
And these great disciples very intelligent carried the drop and kept it in the ashram sat around, started meditating, chanting, contemplating, doing everything. You know after the 21 days what they would have got. They saw few worms coming out of the elephant drop. They thought these worms only will grow and become elephant. They caught hold of all the worms and feeding them. They said oh really now we are going to have now at least 200 elephants. Because 200 worms are there and they waited, waited, waited in the end what they would have got you know.
The hen’s egg cannot give birth to tiger. At this moment when you try to live in present when you have the deep suffering of past and fear of insecurity embedded inside this egg how can this egg give birth to enlightenment? No! If somebody is saying that live in the present moment you will be enlightened, be very clear he is hypocrite and he has not practiced and achieved enlightenment. Enlightenment happens in you when you live in all three space; past, present and future. How to?
Just understand time does not exist. Time does not exist. Just think suddenly all the clocks and calendars disappear from the planet earth. What is time? What is this foolishness, BC AD? How do you know it is two hundred and eleven? What is calculation of time? Ultimately time has no sense. The idea is brought to our life for the sake of simple understanding of day to day life’s smooth running. The greatest conspiracy called civilisation has been forced upon the human being who are expecting all of us to wake up at some time and be in certain place at some time. Even we the mystery schools are caught in the time. No other way because you guys are already programmed for it I have to take you only through that and get you out. What is time? So remove all the intellectual understanding and the day to day life of pressure about time on you.
I know one Swami, Sundananda. His name was Swami Sundananda. He was living in Mangalore. He is a Swami from Ramakrishna order. I can say one of rare gem who managed to get enlightened in spite of being in an organisation. This guy will have 12 clocks in his room and some 40 alarm time pieces. Somebody asked him why and each one will be showing its own time. 12.30, 1.30, two zero, five o clock, six o clock, four o clock. He will say whenever I wanted to have whatever time I will take that clock as the authentic. He says now I want time should be two o clock; I see hmm this clock is right. Now I want time should be seven o clock in the evening, oh this clock is right.
Time does not exist. What all the bases with which we measure the time. Earth is rotating itself and going around the sun. I want all of you to know it is a lie taught to you by the limited visionary scientists. I am telling you very clearly, sun is going around the earth. No I am going to reveal the truth to you. I am not saying earth is going around the sun. No. It is the lie taught to you by the short visioned scientist who can see only some few thousand galaxies. I tell you from my authority, not only a man, the consciousness who is seeing all galaxies, the consciousness from which all galaxies are coming out and merging; sun is going around the earth.
Please understand all movements are comparative, all movements are comparative. Just understand imagine, visualise that this is a ball, this is sun and this is planet earth. This (earth) is supposed to be rotating and going around. This is what the scientists are saying. But I tell you they came to this understanding because they take this (earth) as a centre. From this (earth) part they are measuring the movement but I am telling you from the source when you see, not just this (earth) is going around this (sun); this (sun) is also going around this (earth). Because this (sun) going around this (earth) takes billions of years, beyond our comprehension, we insist, emphasize only this (earth) going around this (sun). Understand this (earth) going around this (sun) only can be calculated by these short sighted scientists of NASA, all astronauts, all space scientists; because they can calculate only few billion years. I tell you from the conscious source from where the time and space comes out and goes back; this (sun) is going around this (earth) which takes few more billion years; that’s all. Then where is the question of time being calculated by this (earth) going around this (sun)? No. the very idea with which time is being calculated is a comparative reality.
So today all of you contemplate this one truth. Sun is going around the earth and I wanted you to convince at least five people about this truth. Sun is going around the earth. Hope all of you understand what I am saying; because we are staying in earth we are able to see only few thousand years; imaginary. We talk only the earth going around the sun but I am telling you, from the source of all movement I am seeing, the sun is going around the earth. Earth is going around the sun but sun is also going around the earth in the whole cosmos. Actually if you want to really measure the time you should take the sun going around the earth as the base scale because in that way you can measure more billions of years. So the right scale of time is supposed to be sun going around the earth not earth going around the sun.
For teaching the earth going around the sun is teaching superstitions to us; short sightedness. They do not know the science of time. I am challenging them. Sun is going around the earth should be the understanding and base for measuring time. Then you can measure more billions of years. That is the reason the Vedic calendar is the calendar which can measure and calculate largest number of years precisely. Because we look at from the time, we look at the time from the zone beyond time. Kaalaateetaha. We look at that deha from dehatrayaateeta. We look at the time from kaalatrayateeta. So I want you to understand your vision and understanding about time is short sighted. Have broad understanding about time.
You exist in past, present, future. Please understand I will give you the example of present moment as egg. This has a trace of all your past and all your future and present. If you go on trying to be in the present, avoiding the past and avoiding the future, how are you going to deliver enlightenment? No. It will be an aborted child. Just understand, the past and future is part of you. Sit on the egg. Means remembering the past and future inclusion is present. So whenever a wave comes from the past understand the wave from the past is also coming in present. So don’t hate saying that is past. NO. Understand, just because you already experienced that it does not mean it has become past. It is happening only this moment.
For example what you call as past, if you are getting the third laddu you call this as a past experience. Oh I already had two. So third is past. No. This laddu is present experience. This sweet is a present experience. If you remember a experience which you had two years before, you think ‘Oh, past is disturbing me’. NO. The thought which you are having at this moment about what happened two years before is not past. It is present. The thought is present. Your idea about future is wrong, short and narrow that is why you constantly struggle to live in present. Even if you are sitting and cherishing or remembering all your glorious past, you are in present; because the remembrance and cherishing happens only in present. Past is a dead screen. In that no scenes can appear. If any scene need to appear you need to have a light of present moment awareness. So when there is a light of present moment awareness how can anything be past?
For example here is a projector. In that projector the light is the present moment, awareness. But the scenes are being shown which happened in 1950. You think ‘Oh! I am seeing a movie related to past. It is not enlightenment’. No. But the awareness through which you are seeing the 1940 movie, that awareness is present. That awareness is this moment. So awareness is beyond time, whether it makes you experience past, present or future. Whatever may be the experience you are having on your inner space, the awareness which is responsible for that is present. That is why I am saying, be inclusive of all three. Do not hate or reject past or future. Be inclusive of all three you will live enlightenment.
Nithya is not living in present; it is living in all three. The large broad understanding about kaala, lakshana, time, liberates you from time. Today you will dedicate whole day meditating on how to be in all three at a time. You see now if you are having a thought about something which has happened two years before, does not mean you are in past. You are in present, knowing your past. If you are sitting and thinking what is going to happen two years after, don’t think you are in future you are thinking about future in present. So you are all inclusive.
Carry this understanding in you like a light, fire. Put this fire on at least five people. If they create doubt in you they have finished off your fire; they have blown your fire. If you create understanding in them, you put the fire in them. Come back tomorrow; either fire and five more people with fire or the blown away, darkness; at least come back. So tomorrow bring either the questions you had when you transacted or answers you got when you transacted or the satsangis you got after you convinced them to the satsanga.
Still I am not getting large number of emails. I think people are not practicing much. Today I will announce a special email id to which I request all of you to do this homework and send the report. Don’t think I am not seeing, I am seeing. So I don’t want this to be just like a some Bhagavada pravachana. Rama came. Sita came. They fell in love, got married and Sita was kidnapped by Ravana. I don’t want you to be just sitting and listening to some stories! No! I want this to be a mystery school where you are taught every day the truths and you work with it. See the big problem is if you are just sitting and not interacting and doing it, it will all just enter this ear and go away through this ear. I don’t want you to have that.
So our people are very sharp; they already created an email id [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) will be the email id. Please send your replies and responses. I want you to work on it. Only the responses and replies I receive, I will consider as satsangis. And I wanted to let you all know if you are everyday working and sending me the reply I will see that you levitate and experience the kundalini awakening within 21 days. I give you the promise. I enrol you in mystery school in my inner space. When I enrol you in mystery school in my inner space naturally the effect on you will be different. You will experience the eN effect straight away whole day.
Go and talk to people; convince them about this truth everyday which I am giving. You will see suddenly the many ideas and understanding which you never got from me verbally, you will get it. You will suddenly download when you share, when you convince others. If you don’t get people, go to the malls; stand there. And have a small board ‘I have a great sacred secret. Are you interested in listening, which can transform your life? Do you have depression? Contact me; I can give you solution for some of your life problems’. Have a small board. Go and stand in front of a mall. Have courage and I tell you it will make you enlightened.
So this one truth, now I want you to sit with this one truth. Sit even if you think about past or future don’t hate yourself, don’t cut; ‘oh I am thinking about past I am thinking about future’. Drop your axe. By using axe you become ox. Drop your axe, stop cutting. Even if you are thinking about past, ‘Oh I am thinking about past in present. I am thinking about future in present. So now I am sitting in all inclusive space. My fears about the future my worries about the past is inclusive of this present moment I am experiencing’. Sit in present just for few minutes; you will experience the great sacred secret Patanjali is revealing in this sutra about time. So the remaining part the bhoota, avastha, dharma, tomorrow we will work on it.
Today one understanding; get back to padmasana, vajrasana or sukhasana. Sit in samana mudra, we will start the eN experience. Let you all become kaalatrayateetaha. Close your eyes, let the kundalini energy be intensely awakened in all of you. Have that intense awareness. Whether it is the past or present or future, you are experiencing in this moment all inclusive. Let the kundalini shakti be intensely awakened in you all. Let you all become kaalatrayateetaha.
Ommmmm shanti shanti shantihi..
I bless you all who are sitting with us around the world at this moment in 668 places in 241 cities in 29 countries. Let all of you achieve, experience, live, express radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda.
Thank you.

I am able to see Brazil, Redondo Beach, Malaysia, New Jersey, Mexico, Vancouver Canada, Ohio, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Houston, Toronto and continuously many other cities are being rotated. I welcome all of you. I can see in every satsang centre the large number of devotees, disciples gathered. Let us create the intense eN effect on the universe, on the globe, on the planet earth. People from China and Russia are also sitting with us. I can see; all over the Middle East and in Bharat; Hyderabad, Madurai, Chennai, Mumbai; in four cities people are sitting with us. I welcome you all for this eN kriya initiation.
Let us enter into the satsang. Today I will explain some of the important truths about the third eye and how eN kriya initiation directly awakens your third eye. Please understand all over the world all mystery schools, all mystical traditions; all spiritual lineages have worked intensely on third eye. The brow centre is cosmic browsing centre. Please understand how from in a browsing centre you can upload or download any information you want, the brow centre is a cosmic browsing centre. You can access, download, use, send any information to and from cosmos. The cosmic archives is directly available. You have access to it. You have possibility of experiencing it.
I am not promoting some theories. Please understand I am talking something which is tangible. I can say much more tangible than what you think as tangible, reality than what you think as reality. In yesterday’s satsang I was telling the 21 different logic, independent logic functioning in your system 21 different independent logic functioning in your brain. When you try to be idiotically consistent with one logic and go on denying, depressing, suppressing other parts and other logics, you suppress and do not allow the non mechanical parts of the brain to be awakened. Understand the non mechanical parts of the brain in your system is responsible for extraordinary experiences and powers. It can send and receive messages to anybody anywhere in the universe. It can attract right people towards you and send wrong people away from you and it did.
Somebody went and read the ancient nadi text about my biography. Just yesterday they came and reported. The guy who went to read, he himself is a poet who knows the ancient Tamil in which the leafs are written. So he did not take the help of the person who reads. He doesn’t want mediator. He went to the original place where the leaves are preserved and that Tamil is at least 500 year old Tamil. In the modern day nobody can write that language. Neither nobody can compose lyrics or write in this language; at least 300 years before that language is dead. But this poet can read. He also can’t compose, he can read. He went and studied it seems. He brought and yesterday just presented. That nadi says, they took my biography and in that it says till the age of 32 he will express the energy of a sadguru, an enlightened master and after the 33 means after the completion of the 32 in 33 onwards he will express the intense energy of an incarnation.
Now I understand why a big cleaning has happened. The wrong people, if they are sitting, they will not let the right things to happen. So it is good we are rid of wrong people and right people have started gathering around us. Right things have started happening. You need a strong base for the right things to happen. Now we have a strong base which cannot be shaken by any abusal. And we can really do our mission what needs to be done.
Just yesterday I received a email from the lady who wrote about my jewels and the cloth and the throne few days before. I think she is a seeker. Her email id says koaskysillyyogi. And she says “Dear Swamiji, thank you for answering my question and enlightening me about the Bharatn and Vedic culture. I am glad you had so much fun doing it. I think she is a seeker not poker. So I bless you. Great! So now we are gathering right seekers around us from all over the world. That is the reason I have started the deep mystical work.
Third eye is the cosmic browsing centre through which you can send and receive cosmic information’s about the past present and future. Not only that, third eye is responsible for leadership qualities eeshitva. In the eight siddhis which Patanjali describes an important siddhi is eeshitva or eeshwaratva; means the ability to be a leader, capacity to be a leader, an extraordinary capacity to lead is also one siddhi. The third eye, ajna chakra, can awaken that siddhi in you. The five life breathing happening in you is directly connected to the third eye.
Please understand I will give you an example. Your body can be compared to an instrument. You see your muladhara is like a bowl filled with mercury. The mercury can be equated to reproduction energy; the energy which can give birth to a life, which is in your root centre, everybody’s. Whether you are a male or a female your root centre has an energy to create life. Your spine is like a three tube, three nadis, hollow tube, idagala pingala sushumna; three tube. The root of the spine is on the mercury bowl which is reproductive energy. The top of the tube is third eye, the ajna chakra. Through this two tubes if you intensely send the air energy with high pressure the mercury will get in through the third tube to the top.
Please understand three tubes are inserted in a mercury bowl, the tubes are your spine, the mercury bowl is your root centre filled with energy to create life. When you send intensely the prana, life breath through side two tubes with high pressure what will happen? Because of that pressure the mercury will get in through the centre tube and reach the top. When the mercury reaches the top the ajna chakra opens. That is what exactly I am doing through the eN kriya. Through both the nostrils, idagala and pingala, I am intensely infusing life breath inside. In that pressure through the centre nadi the kundalini shakti, the life energy reaches the crown centre and it blossoms, the ajna chakra opens. The extraordinary leadership qualities expresses.
Every press, every journalist, who interviews me, the first question is ‘how did you create such a huge organisation in eight years?’’. I said come on organisation is a by-product of the leadership quality I am radiating. I tell you, power of ajna chakra, eeshitva, leadership quality eeshwaratva; it can express in every one of you. The eeshitva eeshwaratva can express in every one of you. All you need to do is send that reproductive energy to the crown centre.
Yesterday I was telling a story, one day God called Adam and said “I have a good news for you and bad news for you.” Adam said “please tell me the good news first.” Man! Woman would have asked please tell me the bad news first. He asked “tell me the good news first.” He said “I am going to give you brain which can think, plan and work, function and a reproductive organ which can give you lot of pleasure.” Adam asked “Great! After this, what can be the bad news?” God said “Only one will work at a time!!”
So understand if you want the brain to be activated, send the energy up, awaken the kundalini shakti and raise it to the crown centre. eN Kriya is a powerful method to awaken the kundalini energy, clear the prana, apana, vyana, udana, samana; means the five life breath energies happening in your body. Unfortunately human beings are putting too much of energy, time, intelligence only in the dimension of acquiring wealth and acquiring relationships and acquiring comforts. You forget the tremendous extraordinary capacities stored in your system which need to be awakened and expressed; the extraordinary powers and energies.
Understand I am not showing these extraordinary powers to tell my glory about…. my glory to the world like materialising vibhooti, teleporting vibhooti or giving boons or giving kundalini awakening. I am not doing it for my glory. I am telling you, you can also do. I am here to show and prove to your glory. I don’t need to prove my glory. If I have to prove my glory I can just materialise in my hand. That is not what I want. I wanted you to understand this is a great science you can also do it. You can also have it. It is a science. That is the reason I am making it happen in your place so that you can visibly see.
Now in this march 2nd and 23rd, 2nd to 23rd, in the 21 days we are going to prove scientifically the teleporting. In the controlled condition by the scientists and spiritual researchers we are going to prove how the teleporting is possible by the kundalini energy and spiritual awakening. This Inner awakening I have challenged the scientific community I will be proving strongly all the participants 100% I will awaken at least four strands of DNA. Please understand a normal human being will have already two strands awakened. Four more means at least six. Anybody who leaves the program after completing, anybody who completes the Inner Awakening this time is going to have at least six strands of DNA awakened; means great health, extraordinary mental wellness, amazing intellect to create strategy planning’s and extraordinary love and fulfilled personality which inspires everybody and amazing leadership quality eeshitva eeshwaratva. I welcome all of you to come and experience Inner Awakening.
First time scientifically the power of kundalini awakening is being recorded from the authentic ancient fool proof time tested spiritual system of the world Vedic tradition. I welcome all of you to come and be part of this extraordinary historic moment. This April Inner awakening we will be doing…. not only you will be experiencing extraordinary experiences like levitation, you will be experiencing even extraordinary powers and you will have a big scientifically proof show of miracles in controlled conditions. Actually the doctors are planning they will add some unique chemical into the vibhooti which will be teleported. And even I will not know the chemical. They will give the vibhooti to me. From here it will be teleported to different countries. It will appear in my padukas all over the world. That vibhooti will be collected; chemically this vibhooti and that vibhooti will be analysed and matched that it has been sent from here to there.
Not only I wanted to scientifically prove I wanted to make this as a clear technique. I wanted to make this as a reproducible not that only I can do. When you work on your pranas, your energies and awaken the kundalini you can also do because I have not come to show this science as my magic my powers. I have come to show this science as your powers. Understand it’s like suddenly in some tsunami if all the TVs disappear, only if one television somebody has, then he can show see I have a box which can sing which can show scenes. That is like miracle. But if he creates a TV producing industry and makes it and distributes it to all the world makes everybody experience that, he is a scientist. I am here as a spiritual scientist to awaken your kundalini shakti; the extraordinary spiritual energy.
eN kriya directly awakens your inner potential energy. eN kriya is essence of the whole levitation process. All of you may be aware that I conducted 48 day program on levitation helping people to levitate, awaken their kundalini. In the whole program what I taught, the essence, the essence is eN kriya. So do this eN kriya at least 21 days. I can guarantee your mitochondria cell energy will improve at least 500%. The mitochondria cell energy can be roughly equated as kudalini shakti; the kundalini shakti’s biological rough equalent. The kundalini shakti is much more than mitochondria cell energy. It is not just mitochondria cell energy. But mitochondria cell energy can be roughly equated to the kundalini shakti.
Now I initiate all of you into eN kriya, a powerful kundalini awakening process, for you to experience the extraordinary spiritual experiences and powers to awaken your ajna chakra; third eye the browsing centre of cosmos. I initiate all of you who are sitting with us at this moment in 822 places, in 254 cities, in 106 states, in 38 countries. Can you project the screen showing all the countries? I will give the instruction for the eN kriya. Please understand do not do it now. Listen to the instruction first then you can do it.
This eN kriya is the process for balancing the five life breath movement happening; five life breath means inhaling, holding, spreading, exhaling and cleaning. Cleaning is called apana that’s what you call gas emission. All five need to be purified and balanced; inhaling, holding, exhaling, spreading all over the body and cleaning. Unfortunately socially the cleaning process is not accepted. So you go on suppress and create disease inside. Understand cleaning has to happen when it is necessary; when there is a garbage inside. Garbage should not gather that is true. That does not mean even if it gathers you will not clean it.
I have a story. A family took their elderly frail mother to a nursing home and left her hoping she would be well cared for. The next morning the nurses bathed her, fed her and set her in a chair near a window overlooking a lovely flower garden. She seemed ok but after a while she slowly started to tilt sideways in her chair. Two attentive nurses immediately rushed up to catch her and straighten her up. Again she seemed to be ok. But after a while she slowly started to tilt over her other side. Again the nurses rushed back and once more brought her back upright. This went on all morning. Later the family arrived to see how the old woman was adjusting to her new home. They asked, “So ma how is it here? Are they treating you all right?” She replied, “It is pretty nice except they won’t let me pass vents”. If you missed it, if you missed the joke at least don’t miss the laughter.
All the five life breath needs to be balanced. eN kriya is the technique to balance all the five life breath. I will give the instruction, step by step, then I will guide you. Now listen to the instruction attentively then you can do it when I guide you. It is seven step; the whole technique is seven step. First three step is preparation, fourth step is main kriya and the last three steps are awakening the kundalini intensely and balancing your body; settling with kundalini.
So let me start now. The first step is, please sit in padmasana or vajrasana. I will give the instruction now. First step is closing your…. It is called nadi shodhana; closing your right nostril with right thumb, inhaling as deeply as possible through left nostril and closing your left nostril with your middle finger and ring finger, exhaling through the right and inhaling through the right and exhaling through the left. Please understand just inhaling and exhaling. It’s called one cycle. Do this at least 11 times. This is the first step.
Second step bastrika; pull your lower abdomen in and up. Don’t shake the whole body; just the lower abdomen in and up. If it is too heavy nothing can be done. Even if you shake the whole body you cannot shake the lower abdomen….. in and up; 21 times do bastrika.
Third important thing, third step is, inhale as slowly as possible, hold as long as possible, exhale as slowly as possible, hold the lungs empty as long as possible. This one cycle is called one samana kriya. Do this 21 times, 21 samana kriya. This is third step. All these three steps are preparatory steps.
The fourth is main kriya. In this you should put your thumb in the ears, the index finger and middle finger on the eyes, ring finger on the nose, little finger on the lip. It is called sambhavi mudra. Close all the five senses; block the nostrils. Stop the energy going outwards. Sent the energy intensely in; redirect. This technique is powerful technique for instant enlightenment. You can get enlightened in one eN kriya and go out as enlightened beings. Hold as long as you can. Your mind will say no, no, I can’t hold any more. I will fall. I will... getting fainted. When you really feel you can’t hold anymore don’t bother. Even if you faint, automatically your hands will relax. You will breathe. You will not die. Only if you have serious heart conditions or high blood pressure any other serious illness, don’t do. People with normal health can do as much as you can. When you are able to, again block; when you are feeling balanced again block the nostrils. Do this same thing 21 times. 21 times through sambhavi mudra sending the energy inside; directing it. This is the main kriya fourth part.
The fifth part is intense humming for seven minutes. The sixth part is shakti dharana. Stand on your knees and raise the hands towards the sky, connect with the Master try to face that direction of Bidadi banyan tree. Wherever you are around the world please find out the direction. All of you from around the world find the direction towards the Bidadi banyan tree and raise your hands towards the sky and feel connected with the Master. Feel his presence, intense energy landing on you. When you feel full, just surrender to the earth, empty yourself, pour yourself with the mood namaha. Then again stand up, receive intensely and pour to the earth. Please understand do this at least seven times; filling yourself with energy.
And the last step sit feeling connected with the Master. Send a strong compassionate, loving, healing, energy and vibrations to the whole world. Bless the whole world. Last step is the time I work intensely on you; awakening the kundalini. That’s the time for you to relax and experience the awakening.
I am so happy that from around the world at this moment in 843 locations, in 261 cities, in 108 states, 38 countries, people are sitting with us. We will enter into the eN kriya. I wanted to invite all of you on March 2nd for a important initiation of eN meditation. From March 2nd to March 23rd, morning I will be doing satsang on Yoga sutras, evening I will do satsang on Brahma sutras and you will be creating intense eN effect all over the world and I will declare now itself, I will reduce the crime rate, which is a man made calamity, wars and crime rate, crime deaths and war deaths and natural calamities at least 40% less in that one month. We will prove it scientifically. The natural calamities it will be less than at least it will be reduced 40%. The man made calamities like war, crime deaths and all that will be reduced at least 40% in that 21 days all over the world.
Feel intensely connected with the Master, sit in padmasana and samana mudra, hands locked, sit in padmasana and samana mudra.
Om shanti shanti shantihi. I bless you all. I invite all of you to come and experience Inner Awakening this year April 13th. This Inner Awakening is going to be unique and strongly experience based. I welcome you all for the important eN meditation initiation on March 2nd. Blessings to all the devotees around the world; I can see the joy in the devotees. My blessings to all of you, I am with you all. You will all, let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda.
Thank you.
Patanjali Yoga Sutras 120 Leadership quality DATE: February 21st 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 53:09
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees and disciples who are sitting with us at this this moment in 309 location, in 128 cities in 17 countries. 01:30 I am receiving thousands of emails everyday about this satsang home work; the practise sadhana given in the satsang. Even the selected few ones which they brought, I wanted all our devotees to know, please understand I went through all the emails spending hours and hours and I selected few to be answered here, even that goes to 84 email. 02:49 Essence, first thing I am very happy many people are practising. They are not taking it too lightly. They are sincere. So I really feel the mystery school has started. See mystery school, mystery school does not start when I declare. It starts only when students join. 03:22 So now I know for sure we have at least few thousand sincere students around the world. That’s the first thing. Second thing, so many people have written Swamiji I am shocked and surprised I have the capacity to inspire and enrol people. 03:48 See actually when I share the truth with you, when it clicks inside you, a part of you expand. But when you go out and inspire people in this truth, you become leader. The leadership qualities, starts expressing in you. 04:20 Sharing enlightenment makes you a leader. ‘Eeshitva’, one of the important siddhi of ashtama siddhis happens in you. The qualities of leader, happens in you when you go out and share this truth, inspire people through this truth, transform people through this truth. 04:48 I am hearing from thousands of devotees around the world that they them self are surprised. Our one doctor devotee from Bangalore, she writes “Swamiji when I started explaining these truths in Kannada, suddenly I realised I can, I am getting all the technical terms and clicks from somewhere. It’s flowing through me. I am able to inspire”. 05:19 Understand. It is opening many of your dimensions, unknown to you in you. It is there in you but unknown to you. Start going around. Share these truths with people. Understand; do not ever think somebody is not intelligent enough to understand these great truths. If you can understand, anybody in the world can understand. 05:54 One person has wrote, one person wrote to me from Mumbai. It seems he thought his gardener can never understand these big things. Because he did not gave five person, get five persons, he caught hold of his gardener and started explaining. Not only the gardener completely understood, it seems that gardener gave the reference that this same truth is told in Bhagavatam. 06:33 He asked it seems, what is, how do you know it is in the Bhagavatam. “No I heard in the young age. In Bhagavatam they repeat, they recite this.” So don’t think people can't understand these truths. Don’t think people are fools. So catch whoever you can and try to share these truth. Inspire them. . 07:03 So I heard many people are putting these truths in their face book, sending emails and making phone calls and sharing this through phone calls is also happening. First thing I am very happy the mystery school is successfully functioning. Second important thing: people are discovering their new ability and capacity. 07:27 Ma Nithya Ramani from Bangalore she is writing, she went to the doctor, eye doctor and inspired him about this idea after the routine check up. That guy got so inspired, he started listening the whole thing, not only listening, completely convinced and he wanted to see the discourses and come to the ashram and see. 07:58 And another one seeker Leela Ma from US is writing it seems she was a bramhacharini in a ashram, then married but her son is a bramhachari in Bharat in Brindavan. She was writing about her beautiful experiences with these truth. How it is working with her and whatever. 08:34 When I read all these emails, I wanted you all to know honestly; even now I got much better clicks and words to share the same truth with all of you. Because now I know the doubts you have. Now I'll give you the gist of those two three truths. 09:01 Please understand. This is the answer for many questions I received. Knowing that you can never live in the present moment takes away the great guilt which is created in you by the wrong practice, wrong sadhana. Try to live in present moment. Till you die you will not be able to live. That’s the first thing. Second important thing, by remembering whether you are thinking about the past or the future, you are in the present. You are living in the present from this moment. Whenever you want to live in the present, just remember “wow!! I am thinking about my past but in present. I am thinking about my future but in present”. 10:08 One devotee is writing, yes I know I am living in the present even if I think about past but what to do, I had a past. Past did happen. Okay, nothing wrong. Please understand, if you are suffering because you are constantly thinking about the past, you will have suffering. But if you remember, “yes past did happen”. It’s okay. Now I am thinking about that in present only. Because I think about the past, it is not the thing that I am lost in the past. NO. Past happened, but I am in present. It’s already gone. 10:58 Past is like a water left your feet. If you are sitting in the river, the water left your feet even if it is dirty, you are not going to be disturbed. The water which is coming if that is also dirty; you are not going to be disturbed. The water which is at you feet if that is dirty only then you are going to be disturbed. So knowing the past and the future is happening in the present you are free. You are in the present. I can say it’s a technique for instant enlightenment. 11:51 First thing, whether you are thinking about the past or thinking about the future, remember you are in the present. Immediately you will see the load of the past and the future will not be there on you. “Yes I am thinking about what I did yesterday. I am thinking what I am going to do tomorrow in present”. A sudden shift in your whole energy flow and experience! 12:32 From so many satsang centres, continuously seeing the emails and questions, not only I am happy, I am inspired I feel now the higher and higher truths can be delivered. Please understand. The higher and higher truths can be delivered. 13:10 Just try to understand this much. “Yes I am thinking about past. Past did happen. I am worrying about future. Future will happen but I am doing both in present; which is my freedom! Which is my decision!! Which is me!!! When you understand, your past and future both are happening in your present; suddenly you will feel you are all powerful because it is in your present. Be all powerful. 14:01 Being all powerful is what I call ‘Eeshitva’. Understand eeshitva is much more powerful siddhi than levitation or gravitation. Making your body expand or shrunk, shrink; making your body light or heavy. These all gross levels siddhis but the ishitva means the leadership quality is a subtle level siddhi, siddhi. Actually that is the 8th siddhi, the last siddhi. Means being in power about you and your life. If you feel empowered to live, you, when I say 'you', the identity you have about 'you' and the idea you have about life; that is what I call eeshitva. Eeshwaratva; leader. 15:28 If you do the intense practises like eN-kriya, you will have the anima, lahima. mahima karima; the gross level siddhis. The ability to expand or shrink or lighten or make heavy your body. But if you do this homework of going out and inspiring people, about these truths, convincing them about these truths, you will see your blocked logic, please understand, many time when a truth is put inside your system, it gets clogged somewhere, blocked somewhere. Like how pipelines gets blocked. It gets blocked. It doesn’t go deep. But when you understand and try to inspire and transmit this experience to few people, suddenly all the blocks will be removed and the truth travels throughout your system intensely and comes out properly and even if there are one or two questions raised by other person that clarifies your own doubts. That clears and creates greater understanding in you. 16:59 I tell you, going out and sharing these truths at least with few people will make you a leader. You will have the subtle siddhis like a eeshitva. Not only that. In your personality, 30% is a solid, solid personality, your own understanding about you. 70% is a puss; literally puss is the right word. Puss poured on you by the society. Constantly society pokes at you; because of that poking, that wound, 70% of you is puss. 17:48 The only way you can get out of that pus and settle with your personality completely is go out and change the idea people have about you. That will happen when you share these great truths and inspire them. Any inspired person will look at you with a deep gratitude. That gratitude will remove part of pus from your system. Now people look at you in a low way, then immediately pus forms in your system. Even an abusive look is hurt and the pus forms in you. 18:36 Inspire them with the honest truths. You will see the way they look at you with respect. The pus gets healed. It leaves your system. You create a new personality. I tell you this is one of the important technique and practice to heal your anahata chakra. Don’t expect love from people, attention from people; go on start giving intelligence to people. A quality product! All, everybody cannot be able to, will not be able to give some gift to people to get their love and attention. How much you can give? You can’t. But a right truth is a great gift you can give without you losing it. 19:32 There is a beautiful proverb; verse from a great saint from Tamil Nadu. He says, like a well when you take the water out, more and more it will... water seepage will be there more and more in the well. The well which is used more, will have more water. The intelligence which is used more will have more. I tell you whenever you share this truths with people, you will realize you are intelligent and you will make others realize you are intelligent. 20:22 This is the easiest gift you can go on giving. If with anybody you converse don’t miss sharing one truth with them in your conversation. Make this as a habit. I will the moment you see him, think I will give one gift to this guy with a deep love. If you are in a shop, some customer comes, along with the product, think I'll give one gift to this guy, one truth, one idea. If you are bargaining any business, decide I’ll give one gift to this guy, one truth. Your customer, patient or consumer anybody you meet; your boss or your sub ordinate; decide I will give one gift to this guy which is a easiest and cheapest gift, for which you don’t need to spend money, but by giving you also grow. 21:33 With whoever you talk, decide one gift to him. One gift I’ll give. This concept of giving gift naturally changes his understanding about you. When he looks at you with respect, the pus, seventy percent of the pus which you carry in you starts getting healed. 22:03 I am giving you an important secret how to be a leader. How to achieve eeshwaratva siddhi; eeshwaratva , eeshitva; leadership quality. First know how to enrol people for any idea you are having. If you go out and speak to at least 5 persons about this idea, this great truth and bring them to the satsang, you are going to be the winner. It is not going to glorify me or I am not to going to win in anyway. 22:44 Understand, whether five people sit or 10 people sit, I am going to talk the same thing. But by you inspiring and bringing 5 more people to the satsang, you are going to win the game. You are going to become leader. See whether five more people come on not, I am continuously going to be leader. I am born leader. 23:06 I am not going to become leader by five more people coming. But you working, talking, bringing five more people, you are going to become leader. So understand. It will make you a leader. Go and stand in the mall. Have a small board. I discovered today sun goes round the earth. If you have questions, comments please talk to me. It’s legal. 23:39 Today morning, you can say more sensationalistic way. Today morning I discovered sun goes round the earth. If you have questions or comments or queries, please talk to me. It takes only half an hour. You will get at least five people who think, they will look at you. “WOW!! This guy seems to be up to something. Come on, let’s talk.” And there are so many around the world waiting to talk to somebody because nobody is listening to them. Just have few minutes of patience, hear them out. Then you share what you want to share. 24:27 Let’s enter into today’s truth. Today’s satya. Today I am working on Patanjali's yoga sutras 120th sutra in 3rd chapter, 14th verse. Subject is, 'Ever Changing World'. "shanta udita avyapadesha dharma anukarati. dharmi" 25:33 I'll bring the translations from various masters. Vivekananda translates as. "That which is acted upon by transformations, either past present or yet to be manifested is the substance qualified" Prabhavananda translates as: "A compound object has attributes and is subject to change either past, present or yet to be manifested. Swami Satchidananda translates as:" It is a substratum prakriti that by nature goes through latent uprising and unmanifested faces" 26:25 Before translating this sutra, I wanted to give you the essence of this sutra then you will be able to understand the sutra exactly. If I have to give the essence, "delusions bring you the joy; illusions bring you suffering". Understand, this is the key truth today. Your joys are brought to you by delusions; your sufferings are brought to you by delusions. Can no way be changed by somebody sitting with you and talking for half an hour. 27:07 Understand. Tomorrow’s incident is not going to be changed by the person who is sitting and talking with you but if he logically convinces you, suddenly you are out of the fear of the tomorrows incident. For example, if you are worrying about some problem which may happen after 10 days. You are worrying, worrying, worrying and somebody comes and adds more fear into it. The delusion which gives fear, the illusion which takes away the fear, both are no way connected to the incident which may/may not happen. 28:03 The secret is all your fears are illusory; all your joys are delusory. I am creating new word. Delusory word may not exist but any growing language has to accept new words and new combinations and after all a language like English should learn how to accept more and more words from enlightened consciousness. It’s my gift to the English language. If the word is there, GREAT! So I have not made a mistake. If the word is not there, my gift to English language, have it. 28:55 Your joys are illusory your pains are delusory. The lady who is bothering about, bothered about my English, if you want to know the meaning of the word delusory, I think you know. I tellu; you understandu. You tellu; others understandu...language wover .... 29:30 Joys are illusory and pains are delusory. Then comes the tremendous fear. Then the incident which is going to happen, how is it going to be? Is it frightening or joyful? Understand the truth. It is neither going to be frightening nor going to joyful. It is going to be life: Auspicious! Life is auspicious! It is additional. Life means adding, adding, adding. It is your idea delusory. It is your idea. Delusory idea about joy, delusory idea about fear is the salt of your life which makes good water into ocean water. The river water becomes ocean water because of your delusory ideas about joy and delusory ideas about pain. Otherwise the incident itself adds, adds, adds, adds; that’s all. Any addition is auspicious. Understand. 31:26 So by existence because you existed and existing, going to exist, you can have only auspiciousness. Drop your interpretation and understandings about auspiciousness. Relax from the delusory fears and illusory joys. Let the incident happen the way in which it is supposed to happen. Let the flow happen the way in which it is supposed to happen. 32:16 If you are in delusory fears, may be you can use the techniques for illusory joys. What is techniques for illusory joy? Positive thinking, listening to positive ideas, but nothing will happen. Understand the positive thinking will not change your life; it can change your life! 32:45 The understanding positive thinking will not change your life, can change your life because you will not expect too much from positive thinking. You will not try to squeeze positive thinking. You will know, this can take away my delusory suffering for next half an hour. That’s it. Then what will happen? At least you will be grateful for those ideas for half an hour. This is what I call, ‘enlightening entertainment’. Instead of sitting with the ugly entertainments, you can sit with these kinds of enlightening entertainments. Positive thinking is surely much more than useless violent entertainments, a bull fight, dog fight, 33:58 Sometimes I used to wonder, in Bharatn villages usually in the common drinking water tap, every morning at least there will be 5 to 10 fights. It is.....go to any Bharatn village. I can describe an Bharatn village. There will be sunrise. There will be men and women. There will fight in the common drinking water tap. All these three are eternal descriptions about Bharatn village. 34:47 I know there are some rich women who have a private line to their house for drinking water. Even if they have a private line they will come to the common tap just to have a fun of fighting. How can this lady take all the water to her house? Water comes in my house tap in my house is my share and I have a right in common tap also. They will come and stand there and all possible abusive words, language with special body language and sound effect. And the funny thing will be if some two three people start fighting, all the other houses balconies will be full. That’s the balcony ticket. It'll look almost like a stadium. 36:06 Now I understand human beings have a innate tendency of fulfilling their suppressed violence seeing somebody else’s violence. Little more wealthy countries what they do? They build a stadium, sell ticket, people come and sit and trained boxers fight. Poor Bharatn villages what to do? They stand in their own balcony stadium, below two unwoman trained, untrained women fight. 36:49 And you will be surprised, sometime the fight will go on and on and on and on for hours. The pot they keep under the tap will be overflowing and all the water will be going down, and after few hours even the water would have stopped coming because it is usually restricted to few hours; morning something like 6 to 7 or 6 to 8. And the water itself would have stopped but the fight will go on and on and on. After the fight if both of them have become tired, they will go to the nearby well or the river and take bath and fight there. That fight will be for washing clothes. The first session will be for drinking water. The second session will be for water for the washing clothes. 37:59 No, I really wonder why human beings love to see somebody else fighting. And not a single man or woman or a person will be interested in going out and reminding them that water is going waste, why don’t you stop the fight and take the water now. Later on you can fight. That guy will be pushed to a corner almost like a Tom and Jerry he will roll and fall in his balcony. And his wife will come down. “How dare you touch my husband”? I can say it is a Bharatn boxing. And the funny thing will be they will scream, scream, scream so much you will feel as if at any moment anybody may hit anybody but never the hitting will be there. labalabalabalabalabalaba 39:15 And no need for any mike. And I have seen the street in which I am born and brought up, when these fight starts, my elder my grandmothers elder sister, she will switch off her radio, come out and sit. I used to ask her why, why did you switch off your radio and come out here? Hey why waste current when we have a free entertainment and the radio will be there for 24hrs, the fight will not be there after 2 hours. Let us see this show first. 40:02 And more over radio is something like a remote. You cannot, you see the main thing is even if you hear the radio you cannot afterwards have a criticism or a review show about it, review about it. You cannot give a review about the radio program to somebody. But if you see the living the fight, it is so personal, you can have you can have one more hour of entertainment talking about it to somebody else. Now one hour entertainment then after that you can have somebody else to whom you can give the review, who did not have the fortune of seeing the show. You can give the review and one more hour of entertainment. 40:44 Human beings have an innate tendency to enjoy people’s violence. Surely positive thinking is much better entertainment than enjoying this violence like a bull fight, dog fight, water tap fight. But don’t expect more from it. If you understand, positive thinking cannot do much; it can do much to you. 41:24 Understand the limitations then you will use them like a enlightening entertainment. I wanted all of you to know, it may look little shocking for you but I should tell the truth. Even our festivals and celebrations should be used like a enlightening entertainment. Don’t expect too much from them. Don’t expect... just if you observe shivaratri festival, over night you should become enlightened. 42:01 There is a possibility but don’t pressurize Shiva. Don’t demand from Him. Don’t be a nagging maami. In all Bharatn villages you will have some 10 nagging maami and they will achieve what they want. And these 10 ladies will have some women’s’ club and will go house to house or shop to shop, collect some donation. It will be there eternally in all villages. These are the basic ingredients of an Bharatn village and their nagging power will be such, any house they enter people will give donation. Don’t be a nagging maami. 42:59 When you observe these festivals, celebration and all, understand this is enlightening entertainment. Then you will see that it becomes such a joy and life and light.... lightening experience. See, let the celebrations, festival, rituals, even deity worship; let all these become a lightening experience in you first. Then it will become part of your life then it will become enlightening experience. First do not expect or demand too much them. 43:49 When you come for morning guru pooja, come and sit. Alright, this half an hour I am not acquiring wrong samskaras. That is a big benefit for me. I am not watching this violent games, I am not sitting and doing that same foolish brooding over of some nonsense and preparing for my next fight with my spouse or family member or neighbour or a boss. This half an hour I am not collecting junk. WOW!! That’s a big benefit, let me do this pooja. 44:30 Have simple understandings, then first it will become lightening experience, then it will become enlightening experience. Whenever something becomes lightening experience you start spending time with it. You start sitting with it. That becomes a kind of a life style in you. Then it will become enlightening experience. 45:02 Understand the truth. All your, your joys are created by delusion and your fears are created by illusion. The incident itself can neither be changed by your illusion nor be changed by delusion. Illusion and delusion comes up and goes down. 45:31 I wanted all of you to catch at least five people today. Convince about this truth even if you are not convinced. I tell you the sacred secrets which I am revealing are so powerful, by convincing others about it, you will experience it even if you are not convinced now at this moment about this. Even if you feel. "Oh! I myself suffer even though I know it is delusion and illusion, how can I tell this to others"? It’s okay. You suffer but inspire others to come out of sufferings. 46:25 The ground under which, the ground on which you are standing may be shaking and going but you try to stand and shout I am strong, I am strong, I am strong. You can be strong, you can be strong, you can be strong. Do it, I'll show you. Do it, I'll show you the truth attacks you when you are instantly share with others even if you have not understood instantaneously. 47:15 Understand, whenever you receive it, start sharing with others instantly even if you have not understood instantaneously. When you start sharing, that works on you. It comes back to you. I tell you anything which you give, comes back to you. Anything which you share, gets back to you. Share the truth. There is a beautiful proverb “dharmo rakshati rakhshitaha” When you protect dharma, dharma protects you. By sharing it with others, you are protecting it; it will protect you. 48:13 Let me now enter into the translation. “shanta udita avyapatesha dharma anupati dharmi” Everything whether manifest or unmanifest goes on changing, goes on changing. Understand. Whatever you think as your life, is nothing but illusory sufferings and delusory joys. When you understand that, a deep restful awareness happens in your system which goes on inspiring you to exist, to be alive, to live, to share life. 49:36 So the essence of today’s satsang, “All your joys are delusory; all your pains are illusory”. Go round and inspire people by talking this one truth; at least five people. There will be enough questions and banging. Face all that. Face all that, You will see you will be enlightened about this truth. You will be enlightened about this truth. 50:26 Now all of you just sit with this one truth. I'll see that these truths, this one truth gets into your bio memory, into your very system. Please sit straight in padmasana or vajrasana and come to samana mudra. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Hi 51:27 I bless you all with my love and respects. At this moment all the people who are sitting with us at 559 places, in 213 cities, in 26 countries. I bless you to, let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda! Thank you. 51:57 Patanjali Yoga Sutras 121 Change is the Eternal Law DATE: February 22nd 2011

I welcome you all with my love and respects. Let us enter into the today’s sutra. Patanajali’s Yoga Sutra, 121st sutra, in the 3rd chapter, 15th verse. krama anyatvam parinama anyatve hetuhu
Vivekananda translates this sutra as "the succession of changes is the cause of manifold evolution”.
Swami Prabhavananada translates as "the succession of these changes is the cause of manifold evolution
Swami Sachidananda translates as "the succession of these different phases is the cause of differences in stages of evolution”. Wow!
Osho translates as “the variation in transformation is caused by the variety in a underlying process”
I will try to give my own translation, my own understanding. krama anyatvam parinama anyatve hetuhu
As I said yesterday’s sutra is about the illusory delusion and illusion. This sutra need to be understood connecting with yesterday sutra. So I want you to clearly understand the gist of the yesterday sutra so that you can catch the truth of this sutra.
The constant illusory fear and illusory courage, illusory greed and illusory pain, illusory pleasure, illusory sufferings created in you is responsible for various actions and changes happening in you. Please understand if I have to reveal the sacred secret to you honestly, a very important sacred secret. This illusory fears, delusory greed, illusory pains and pleasures even if this illusions and delusions, if you handle it with awareness as I said in the previous satsangs, just 2 sutras ahead of this sutra, 2 sutras before this sutra, like how I explained the time concept whether worrying about the past or worrying about the future is happening in me in present, this moment.
So same way whether illusory fear or delusory greed is happening in me which is reality? I am real in me in this delusion and illusions are happening. Have this understanding and face the illusion and delusion. That very illusion and delusion will lead to evolve evolution. Please understand all changes whether getting more and more caught in illusion and delusion or evolving out of illusion and delusion and reaching enlightenment both happens by the illusion and delusion; how you handle it.
See the cyclone of fear and greed, courage and fear, fame and defamation, pain and pleasure is constantly attacking you if you give up the restful awareness or balance. Understand whatever is said and done this kind of an experience and knowledge can never be received second hand. I tell you all before the scandal I was talking, I will make at least few lakh people enlightened now I tell you courageously at least few million people I will make them enlightened.
Before this abusal and religious persecution, I was telling 12/12/12, 10000 of us will sit all over the world and levitate and reduced the collective negativity of the world , spread global peace, positive energy but now suddenly after this persecution, we just preponed. At this moment 10000 people are sitting around the world with me and end of the satsang they are going to levitate; now I know many of them already. We preponed our goals and not only that, this religious persecution has taken away many of the unnecessary extra fat which was around our belly. No really! The extra fat around your belly is not only extra weight and heavy load, dangerous for your very heart, can be the source for the future Cancer. We are rid of these cancerous possibilities. We are rid of this unnecessary fat.
It’s like a cyclone, constantly happening on you. When it happens how you stand, how you stand. Are you standing with awareness and larger broader strategy planning? Or are you shrinking and shivering and shaking? Stand with the larger strategy. Stand with broad understanding. Actually this persecution has made us immortal. Now we know. Many of our own disciples and ashramites were always wondering and worrying how to be non-controversial, how to be non-controversial, how to be accepted by the whole society. Because of this fear they were diluting the truths I was delivering to the world. And the truths and the great teachings, the sacred secrets were not being told to the world. Now the whole problem of how to be non-controversial has taken away the fear from our disciples that we should be non-controversial and it gave the courage let us stand for the sacred truth and the sacred tradition for which we are giving our life.
I can tell you I set a trend, I have set a trend, I have given courage to my disciples for the truth we believe. Understand when the illusions and delusions constantly happen on you, remember it is happening on you which is reality. YOU are real. Only the happenings are unreal. So stand with that real YOU. The happenings will make evolve you and it will lead to evolution and enlightenment.
So essence of today’s satsang, all the illusory fears and delusory greed, pain, pleasure everything, comes in your life like a cyclone. Stand with restful awareness, that will make you enlightened, that will liberate you. If you are shaken and succumb to it, you will be caught in more and more and more negativity. This is the essence.
The homework for you all; write five incident in your life when you succumb to the illusory delusory fears and greed and got caught in deeper and deeper problems and remember five incident when you stood strongly with the restful awareness and got liberated from the problems, when the illusory delusory fears and greeds attacked you; five this side, five this side think. Let you all Achieve, Experience, Live, Radiate, Express and Share the Eternal Bliss, Nithyananda.
Thank you
Patanjali Yoga Sutras - Question and Answer Session What is Reality DATE: February 22nd 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 24:25
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
Try to respond to many of your questions. There is a question from Vengala Hiranmayi “If fear and joy are the illusions and delusions we have about life are not real, then what is reality Swamiji?
Understand when you understand the fear and joy, pain and pleasure are illusion and delusion, that very understanding will make a huge change in you. You will feel like the earth on which you are standing is removed. Almost everything will collapse, allow that collapsing, allow that understanding to happen. See that the whole thing tumbles down. Whatever you build as your identity, suddenly will change .All your strategy planning for your future will suddenly change. All the logic with which you build your life will completely be shaken. Allow that. Do not have the fear ‘then what is reality?’ Allow this tumbling to happen, allow this shaking to happen by understanding that our courage, our fear, our greed, our pains, our pains and our pleasure are all illusion and delusion.
Yesterday I was giving you a beautiful example. Many time, life actually tests you. Life actually wants to test your stability, your understanding, your strength but in a very foolish way you respond and react and create whole thing as a mess. Please understand, many time life really tests you. Do you stand this fear, which is delusion? Do you stand this greed, which is illusion? Or are you going to react in a foolish way and create bigger problems, bigger mess?
Whenever fears take over you or greed takes over you, when courage takes over you, when the pain takes over you, look into it, what is the percentage of it is real and what is the percentage of it is illusory or delusory. As I told you yesterday I am coining a new word delusory. It may or may not be in Oxford dictionary, let’s add in our dictionary. See what is the percentage of it is contributed by the illusions and delusions and what is the percentage can be attributed to the real incident, may, may not happen in your life.
Let me give you a story. I have a story for you. The FBI had an opening for an assassin, so they started interviewing people. After all the background checks, interviews and testing’s were done, there were three finalists; two men and a woman. For the final test the FBI agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. We must know that you will follow your instructions, no matter what the circumstances. Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair, kill her. The man said you cannot be serious, I can’t shoot my wife. The agent said then you are not right man for the job, take your wife and go home. He was sent. The second man was given the same job. He went inside and all was quiet for five minutes. The man came out with tears and to the agent he said I cannot, I cannot kill. Then agent said you are not the right man. Take your wife and go back home. Finally it was the women’s turn, she was given the same instruction to kill her husband, she took the gun went into the room shots were heard and one after another, they heard screaming, crashing, banging on walls. Then all was quiet. The door opened slowly. There stood the women, wiping the sweat from her brow. Agent asked what happened. She said this gun is loaded with blanks, so I had to beat him to death with the chair.
Many times life gives you the gun with blanks to test. But unfortunately you make mess. Stand and see when the wave of fear takes over you, when the wave of greed takes over you, when the wave of courage takes over you, when the wave of pain takes over you. Wait…. Look…see. What is the percentage, the possibility of delusion and illusion? What is the possibility of the real incidence which may, may not happen and how this fear is going to impact your ability to handle the real incident if it happens.
The ability to face, the ability to look, the ability to see; please understand, ability to look without being bothered what is reality. Please understand the moment you have the fear, the questioner, the fear which the questioner is having. What is reality Swamiji? Means you don’t want to let go this delusions and illusions. Don’t bother, let go, let go. What is reality will flower in you. Allow that flowering. Now don’t bother, now don’t worry too much about it. Allow the delusions and illusions to be removed from your inner space. You will see the real incidence, which is reality, will never hurt you.
I tell you, I really wanted all of you to know, anything happens is addition and auspiciousness. I tell you even if you think this is the worst dream happening in your life. I tell you even the worst dream wakes you up. In the dream even if the tiger is chasing you or elephant is chasing you, or snake is chasing you or your spouse is talking to you, you wake up. So anything happens is auspicious. It may look very impractical, very frightening .Understand you can’t be…..anybody who is watching this satsang around the world at this moment, can’t be in a worst danger risky, insecure position than me. The accusations, abusal, harassment and religious persecution I am facing….. can say one of the worst religious persecution in the modern days, in the modern history
Whatever happens can only be adding to your life, means all happenings are auspiciousness. Just stop your interpretation. Not only that when you stop the interpretation, the energy which you waste in fighting with illusions and delusions can be used to handle the exact happening; the incident. In my life I have seen the extremes and I can see how the courage given by the extreme fame is illusion same way the fear created by the extreme defamation is delusion. Neither the courage given by millions of people following you and praising you is reality nor the fear they try to create by the intense defamation, is reality. Both are illusion and delusion.
I wanted to give a small, can say that subtle difference between this illusion and delusion. Illusion is the false happening outside your system. Delusion is the impact of that false happening inside your system. Delusion is reflection of illusion in your system. Illusion is the source of delusion outside your system. Whether it is illusion or delusion created by….. whether the society or ignorance of you or collective delusion, there is something called collective delusion. There are thousands of problems created by collective delusions. People have their own ideas, their own imaginations, their own thinking.
Human mind when it is caught in collective delusion can be exploited and manipulated to any level, to any extreme, to any extent. So do not bother to drop this fear and greed created by illusion and delusions. When you drop, you will settle down in a space which I don’t want to describe. Because the moment, I describe about that space, you already start imagining about the space and you created one more illusion about that space. If I use one word “restful awareness” then you catch hold of that word ‘restful awareness, restful awareness, restful awareness’. Arey, you don’t understand that restful awareness which I am talking happens in you when you give up this illusion and delusion. But you are not interested in giving up this illusion and delusion; you are interested in some shortcut for restful awareness ‘restful awareness restful awareness’.
It’s like, I tell you go to that sabha ,it is filled with dirt and junk, clean it and make it beautiful, if I look from here it should look very pretty. You ask how it should look. What do you mean by word pretty and clean? I say, it should look like shining, clean, neat. Then immediately you create that kind of painting and make a big flex and keep it in front of the sabha. You don’t get into the sabha and clean that junk, clean that dirt, so that when I come there it really looks clean. No. You find a shortcut. C'mon let us make a big painting; how the cleanliness and being beautiful is portrayed, how Swamiji described, c'mon let’s make a big flex and keep in front of the sabha and hide the sabha. So from here when I look, oh! Things are clean and you come here from my seat, you look, ah! Things are clean. If Swamiji looks through this window it will all be clean.
That is what you are trying to do when you ask the question what is reality? So I don’t want to answer, when you ask, ‘what is cleanliness? How it should look Swamiji?’ No. Go and first remove the junk and the garbage. Do only the instruction. Then how it look clean, it will look by itself. Do not try to create theology before practicing. I tell you a small missing and misunderstandings happens when you create a theology before experiencing or before even trying to experience; can create too much nuisance on the planet earth.
That is the reason I always tell our teachers, our Acharyas. Let you digest the whole truth. Just digesting, not talking to others will make you dumb idiot and not digesting just talking to others will make you a cunning criminal theologian. I don’t want my Acharyas to be a dumb idiot or cunning criminal theologians. So in LA the Acharya training is happening. The teacher’s training is happening. All the teachers who are getting trained, please understand, this is my instruction to you. Understand and digest the truth and share this with the world with intense aggressiveness. Understand aggressively and share aggressively. Neither lack in understanding nor lack in sharing.
So don’t bother about what is reality. I don’t want to give you any painting. There is one more question. “What about real painful incidents like accidents, getting caught in fire etc? These are also illusory pains?”
Vengala Hiranmaya Understand, first come out of the illusory delusory pains. Then you will have a clear answer for this question. If I say now that is also illusory and delusory, you will feel. No. I am talking too much and you will not even try to do the first step. Do the first step; you will understand answer for this question by yourself. I am not interested in intellectually satisfying you. I am interested in experientially satisfying you. So I wanted you to have manual workbook not theological, philosophical volumes and volumes on which you can put your head and sleep.
This encyclopedia Britannica’s are used only as a pillow at least in theology and philosophy field. I am not interested in creating encyclopedia Britannica’s or philosophical volumes to fill the useless part of your brain. No. I am interested in creating workbook. Practical manual, owners guide.
There is one clarification about the eN-kriya. Anand Sarvottaman is asking, “In the main en-kriya part the 4th step, should we stop the breathing after exhaling or after inhaling?”
Neither wait for exhaling nor wait for inhaling. The moment you put your hands on the sambhavi mudra stop, freeze as it is. Don’t prepare yourself for that freezing. It should be like a sudden attack by you on you.
Patanjali Yoga Sutras - 123 Cosmic Sound Technique DATE: February 24th 2011

Today’s subject ‘Every Sound is Mantra’. Understand every sound can lead you to enlightenment; means every moment the possibility for enlightenment is open. 123rd Patanjali’s yoga sutra in the 3rd chapter, 17th verse; It is a powerful samyama Patanjali is leading us. Shabdartha pratyayanam itaretara adyasat shankara tat pratibaga samyamat sarvabhoota rutagnanam. God!
Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as through samyama on word, meaning and knowledge which are ordinarily confused, comes the knowledge of all animal sounds.
Swami Prabhavananda translates this sutra as by taking samyama on the sound of a word, ones perception of its meaning and ones reaction to it, three things which are ordinarily confused, one obtains understanding of all sounds uttered by living beings.
Swami Sachidananda translates as a word, its meaning and the idea behind it are normally confused because of super imposition upon one another. By samyama on the word, sound produced by any being, knowledge of its meaning is obtained.
Let me enter into the sutra. I will give my own experience. The technical term in this sutra is three words sabda artha pratyayanam pratyayaanam sabda artha pratyayaanam. Sound; what is meant by sound and consciousness which experiences the sound and what is meant by the sound, the buddhi. Understand sound, the purpose, what is meant by the sound and the space, intelligence, where both are happening; for example I use the word cow. That is sound. What is meant by the word, the animal, is artha, means the purpose. Where the word cow creates the meaning of the cow picture in your mind, in your inner space; the moment I utter the word cow immediately in your inner space that four leg, two horn, one tail, that animal is there. The space where that is happening is buddhi. pratyayanam.
Please understand sabdha artha pratyayaanam; sound, the purpose or the meaning of the sound and space where the idea of the sound suddenly happens, buddhi. This three gets overlapped in life. Please understand this three gets overlapped in the life. Because it gets overlapped whole life is a confusion. Now start doing samyama on this three. When you do samyama on this three the first thing will happen is you will understand all this three are separate. You will experience the gap between this three; first thing.
Second, any sound you will know the meaning…. For example now few minutes before, I don’t know whether you observed or not, a dog barked outside. The sound came. Actually the sound is when you hear the sound ‘oh dog barks’; that’s all. You do not know the meaning. I know the meaning; the dog has a liver problem. If you catch the dog and check you will find it has a liver problem and digestion problem. If you tell the house keeping people to catch the dog and check the dog it will have a liver problem and digestion problem. We can prove it.
Understand when you do samyama on the sound you know the meaning of it. Then the all the three are separate; the sound, meaning, the space where both are happening or connection is happening; when there is a gap between this three means clarity between this three; suddenly you know the deeper meanings and happening behind the sound. You will know the meaning of sounds created by animals, sounds created by the trees, sounds created by the stones. If you want to know the language of birds, want to know the language of animals, want to know the language of trees, want to know the language of nature, want to understand; do samyama on the sound. This will give you extraordinary powers. That is the first thing.
Second thing this samyama will give you the meaning of the cosmic sound ‘OM’ and make you enlightened. Understand Patanjali is a great Master. He picks up very tasty routes. Not only the routes lead you to enlightenment, even on the way you will have some beautiful extraordinary powers which continuously encourages you. Patanjali knows the human psychology. He is not a dry guy. He is not a dry man. When somebody is nailing you on the cross saying ‘Oh God! Oh Father! forgive them they not know what they are doing’. Come on! just look and burn them. This can be used ‘Father they not know what they are doing forgive them’ to train disciples once in a while but not a life technology.
I tell you, the science which I am bringing to the world is going to be alive just because so many extraordinary powers it is going to give to people. No I am seeing. See I am seeing, you see I am seeing, the initially I was struggling for almost eight years to make our boys and girls, our brahmacharis and brahmacharinis to do the yoga. Now I added a little bit of weight lifting which shows the muscles immediately in 5-6 days; the immediate effect. And I am seeing the whole group is there, because straight result is there; immediate effect, the change in the body. Same way any technique should give immediate result, also it should give long term enlightenment, but at least few extraordinary powers immediately. Only then you will have the inspiration to practice the science. Otherwise why will you be sitting and closing your eyes hmmmm doing something for 12 years. At the end you may, may not receive the cheque. No!
The science I am bringing is going to be like directly awakening the extraordinary powers. I do not want dull, dead, dumb, dirty, third rate donkey vedantins. I know this so called vedantins they talk tall. ‘No, no, no extraordinary siddhis should not be used, powers should not be expressed’. Foolish fellows! End of their life they have only one thing; huge belly and filled with depression; that’s it. I have seen, I have seen. Huge belly filled with depression nothing else. Impractical ideas! Here is Swami Vivekananda who says practice this techniques just for 40 days 50 days you will have some extraordinary powers and these powers will give you intense inspiration, passion to continue the practice, interest to continue the practice.
I am seeing the moment I started awakening the kundalini and initiating people into levitation the intensity of the people practicing has exploded and everybody is waiting when will they start levitating, when will they start levitating. And everybody is there properly for satsang, everybody is there properly meditating. See its only one small power. Levitation is not enlightenment actually. But not only it leads to enlightenment it gives you the excitement to practice every day.
I sincerely request with all my humbleness, Ramakrishna mission and Chinmaya mission, all these Hindu missionaries, come on take up few practices which gives little powers and experiences to people which gives an excitement to continue their practice. Otherwise I know these great missions so sincere, such a huge infra structure, just only one misunderstanding: any technique which gives extraordinary powers and experiences should not be used. No. It is not. That should not be the case. Understand you should not get caught with that power itself. That is different.
Just for that dumping the whole science is such a big wastage. Understand it’s like just because you may have split in the end of the hair completely shaving the head. Arey, come on when you have a split in the end of the hair, cut it! Cut that part! Just because somebody may steal the money or you may feel like, if you have money one day you will buy cigarette and smoke, never have money at all, starve and die. That’s not a solution. Come on! The right solution is when you get those extraordinary powers have a deep devotion to your Guru or your God or leader and surrender it. Say that I have this extraordinary power I am very happy that it is exciting and inspiring me for continuing the practice, but I am not interested in using it. Let me go to the next. That should be the right attitude. Instead no, no, don’t do this pranayam don’t do meditation technique, don’t do samyama. You may get some extraordinary powers. You may get diverted from the spiritual path. Finally what happens?
I have seen all these missionaries, their Swamis, extraordinary depression and can’t even go to doctor because of the shyness; fall into the depression by 45 and feeling their whole life is waste; miserable! I tell you, when a person takes up a spiritual decision in his life, from that moment his life is sacred. It can’t be wasted; it’s too costly. It is too costly. I really request... come on take up the teachings of your own Masters. Siddhis are dirty when it is misused. Money is dirty when it is misused. Money itself is not dirty. Siddhis them self are not dirty. The fear of misusing should not make you poor. Just like fear of misusing the money they decided to be poor. No. Same way fear of misusing the powers they decided to be poor in siddhis.
Poverty in wealth and poverty in siddhis are equalent and it is life negative. I wanted all my swamis, brahmacharis, acharyas, ananda samajis, satsangis; I am introducing a new word satsangis who are attending the satsanga everyday continuously and doing all the home work, part of the mystery school, I am calling them satsangis. I want all our satsangis to radiate extraordinary powers. Understand, have extraordinary spiritual powers. You are a rich man’s kid. When suddenly you experience some powers like, suddenly you know what the opposite person is going to talk, suddenly you know who is going to knock you room. Suddenly you know what decision is going to come out of this conversation. Don’t brush them aside. Don’t put them aside. Don’t say they are coincidence. No. Dig out.
At that moment, for example you are feeling suddenly this is the statement going to come out in this conversation. When you feel when it really happens feel at that moment how your throat was, how your breathing was, how your skin was feeling; bring yourself back to that same again. One of my brahmachari asked me “Swamiji I wanted to always be in Samadhi”. How it will happen, by intense being alive. Samadhi can never come by being in the lower states of awareness. It can come only for a leader. I told him first be a leader in the outer world.
Somebody goes to Ramanuja and asks I want to experience the parabhakti the great devotion for Ranganatha. Ramanuja asked have you fallen in love with somebody in your life; with a girl or with some relation; father, mother or a friend or a girl or with somebody. He said no no no no no. I am a naishtika brahmachari and I am a great sadhu. I never fell in love with anybody. I am not attached to anybody. I want to be attached only to Ranganatha; parabhakti. Ramanuja said get lost. Go and learn how to fall in love with somebody whom you can see with physical eyes first. Then you can fall in love with experience, the extraordinary energy, God, whom you can’t see with the physical eyes. Now you are seeing people with physical eyes, you are not able to fall in love with those people, feel connected with those people. How will you feel connected with some energy which you can’t see with physical eyes? Get lost! Go and learn that first and come back. I will teach you parabhakti.
Same way first become a leader, learn the technology of life. Actually when you are pressured, when the question of survival comes in your life, you have to now become a leader and learn the tricks of the world, techniques of the world, techniques of talking to people, enrolling people. Enrolling means not for just a program; enrolling them for your ideas. Convincing them, relating with them; only then suddenly some extraordinary leadership qualities comes up. You know the knack of living. The extra, the non mechanical parts of the brain awakens. Only then you can even think of Samadhi.
Only when you become leader, the higher states of awareness starts opening up in you. If somebody wants Samadhi experience I can give a simple technique. Start a temple from zero and go on talking to people, inspire people and create the temple and do Kumbhabhishekam. On that day I promise I will give you Samadhi. I promise. Start a temple from scratch; build it. Bring it to life and because by that time all your laziness will be broken left and right and you became fully aware. All the suffering you will face all the oppositions you will face; especially if you build my temple the amount of opposition you will face, suffering you will face; you will cross enlightenment by the time you complete.
Samadhi is not for lazy bums. Samadhi is for the people whose all 21 logic can be activated and alive at a time. It is the internal passion. These guys think God is like a snake. How when a snake charmer blows some bom bom bom bom bomm and then the snake will dance; so they can blow their nose for few minute and the God will dance in front of them. It is the altered state of awareness. Come-on! It’s a tremendous life being alive. Learn multitasking. Learn first to be a leader; eeshwaratva. I am translating Anandeshwara as bliss leader. Eeshwaratva means leader. First start expressing these extraordinary powers of a leader.
I have seen, I have studied the history of all major religious organisations and the spiritual organisations. As long as they were producing leaders the spiritual strength was also alive. See in those days Vivekananda will suddenly call a brahmachari and give him kaavi, sanyas, and tell him go to that country or that place; start the mission. Nothing will be given except his bus fare or the train fare. Those days train fare. I don’t think even train fare; maybe some travelling expense; that’s all. Nothing else will be given. The guy who goes and starts becomes enlightened by the time he completes the project. As long as these kinds of leaders were getting created the spiritual strength was there in those organisations. Can go out... not only that even while you are having some other work, only body is working; engage all other parts of your brain in multi tasking. First become a leader then the altered states of awareness will start and enlightenment can happen.
Samyama is powerful path for enlightenment. You need some extraordinary powers, inspiring, exciting things in your life for you to continue to practice. I am seeing very clearly even in our organisation whoever when I said go and start, start a mission in place, when they go and sit and start doing hard, intelligent work and becoming leader I am seeing they are radiating energy and experience; radiating things; raising them self to Samadhi.
Understand you are surrendering to your demon. After the middle age you will have only a big belly filled with depression; nothing more. Become a leader. Anybody who has become a leader before 30, giving enlightenment is nothing. It’s just a like how I can give a small fruit to them, just like that the enlightenment can be given. Because the already all nervous systems are alive, awake, open, ready. I just need to pour myself in it; that’s it. These life negative ideas should be broken first; the ideas that siddhis should not experienced. NO. I tell you experience siddhis.
Now I am giving you the exact technique. Actually this samyama if you practice it will directly heal all the disease related to your eyes and hearing. Please understand in medical science ear, nose, throat is connected. But actually in yogic science ears and eyes are connected. As per the science of the nadi, ears and eyes are directly linked. Ear, eye and the power of speaking; this three are directly linked. Not ENT, EES speaking power. Hearing, seeing, speaking all three powers are directly related to ajna chakra third eye. That is why I am telling you when you learn speaking and enrolling people for certain ideas you will have developed hearing and your eyesight will be clear. This samyama directly will help you to clear the problems related to your hearing, eyesight and ability to speak. If you have the stammering during speaking or stage fear, please understand in the whole world the stage fear is…. people are having….. more number of people are having stage fear than the death fear. If you ask what is the worst fear, it is not death fear it is stage fear. All the three problems can be solved, healed with this samyama.
Sapta artha pratyayana, itareta adhyasaat shankara tat pratibaga samyamat sarvabhoota rutagnanam. I’ll give you the exact samyama. Sit and feel your inner space is the screen on which the sounds come and hit and make the meaning. Understand your inner space is a conscious ear drum. In the ear drum you know the sound comes and hits and the meaning is made. But your inner space is, sound comes and hits, not only meaning is made, you can witness both the sound and the meaning. Understand, don't hear just in your ear drums, hear through your ananda gandha. Now when a sound comes….. see now when a sound hits you, what you do….. it hits your ear drum and meaning is made and actions are taken. Don’t do that. Sit, have restful awareness to, for the sound to hit your ananda gandha. Make any meaning or response to any sound in your ananda gandha.
For example now when you sit you are hearing the fan's sound. You are hearing this small, small, tuk, tuk, tuk sound from the roof. Make all this meaning in your ananda gandha. When you sit like that, you will start hearing some bird sound. You will have meaning for that bird sound happening in you. Not only that, if your spouse, even if he or she is breathing, from that breathing sound you know what mood she is in, what mood he is in. Sometime you will see, you will send a strong letter or you may not send a letter you may just ask my secretary I wanted to meet Swamiji. I will say no, now I am not interested in meeting; because now I know you are not interest in listening to me. You are interested only in fighting with me. I will just avoid meeting. But sometime you will not even be asking to talk to me. When I walk I will ask ehh what is going on, anything to tell me. Means you are interested in listening to me. Just by the breathing sound you know what mood the other person is in. It is an extraordinary siddhi.
And by the sound you know whether there is going to be a flood or not in the river. The river sound will give you the message. Not only that you can ask the river ‘What is the temperature up from where you are coming? How is the ocean mood? Is there going to be any tsunami?’ You can receive and send message from both corners of the river. You can just ask him ‘is that guy taking bath in you?’ Just you can ask Ganges in Hardwar and get information about Calcutta. Understand sending and receiving message through nature was our telecommunication system. I tell you, when I am in this body, I will establish this as a fool proof science like modern day communication systems. You will see it is possible; just the technique and the practice, nothing else. You can send receive informations understand the meanings of the birds, animals, rocks. When you go deeper you can just listen the eternal cosmic sound and meaning of the sound, the cosmos and the space where it is happening is your inner space. It means you are enlightened.
Understand first step try to listen sounds from your ananda gandha. See your ananda gandha is a conscious ear drum where a sound comes and hits meaning is made, but you are watching both. The buddhi, where the sound is hitting and meaning is happening is a third entity. Be aware of all this three; that’s all. Whenever you find time and if you are interested in this samyama take up this samyama. Please understand, every day I will go on be talking about one, one samyama. If you are interested in healing the eyes if you have problem with the eyes; ears eyes or talking take up this samyama. It will completely heal you; not only heal you, give you extraordinary powers.
I have seen Raghupathi Yogi playing with this samyama. He will just create one small sound. All the snakes in that area will get into the mood of that intercourse and start dragging their body towards him. Because he knows when a snake, the snakes wanted to have physical relationship, a kind of a subtle sound they create. He will create that sound and all the snakes will be hypnotised and they will be around him. He will just take them and take the venom. He used to make medicines out of the snake venom and they will all be lying down like a babies for him to pick up one by one and take the venom. I have seen. In a stone, it’s called kalavam where he will take that venom and rub it and add medicines and he will make siddha medicines; the power of sound, playing with sound.
So first level, this samyama will heal all your hearing, seeing, talking problem; the physical level. Second, it will give you extra ordinary siddhis like a finding out other persons mood just by the sound of breath or making the meaning, understanding the animals languages, understanding the languages of nature; ultimately enlightenment itself. Because when you sit and listen to the sound of the eternal cosmos, that ommmmm, when that sound hits your inner space be aware; the meaning it makes, cosmos is the meaning it makes. These both can be grasped experienced only by an enlightened inner space. When you grasp the two you are enlightened; that’s it.
Understand this samyama will directly lead to physical healing of hearing, seeing and talking problems. Give you the extraordinary siddhis of understanding the language of animals and nature; third; ultimately enlightenment itself by experiencing the cosmic sound, nada brahma. Shirasana and sarvangasana will help this samyama and mahamantra means the intense humming will help this samyama. Mahamantra technique will help this samyama. And sambhavi mudra can help this samyama. Please understand, so I can give as a technique this samyama. First do shirasana and sarvangasana then do seven minutes of intense humming then 21 times of sambhavi maha mudra then sit and do this samyama as long as you can. You will experience the maximum benefit of this samyama and experience extraordinary siddhis.
I bless you all who are sitting with us at this moment 613 places, in 225 cities, in 28 countries. Let all of you achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, NIthyananda.
Thank you.
Patanjali Yoga Sutras 124 Past Life Regression DATE: February 25th 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 13:54
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
Let’s enter into today’s satsang. Today’s sutra 124th Patanjali’s yoga sutra, the topic is ‘Know your Past Life’ Past life Regression; 3rd chapter 18th verse. Samskara saksat karanat purva jati jnanam.
Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra ‘through the perceiving of the impressions comes the knowledge of past life.’
Swami Prabhavananda translates as ‘by making samyama on previous thought waves one obtains knowledge of one’s past lives.’
Swami Sachidananda translates as ‘by direct perception through samyama of one’s mental impressions, knowledge of past births is obtained.’
And Osho translates as ‘by observing past impressions knowledge of previous birth is obtained.’
Past birth! One of the most fascinating subject as far as the inner world is concerned. Everybody is interested. I can say in the whole world, not a single man who says I am not interested in the past birth. Even the people who don’t believe in the past birth are interested about their past birth. See, any people come and say ‘No I don’t believe in past birth’ about what, if I say no I can show you your past birth, then immediately the eyes lit up. They don’t believe others have past life but they do believe they had past life. Understand whenever people say, ‘No I don’t believe in God’ they don’t believe others believing in God but inside heart of their heart, in their secret part they do have ‘I think may be…. who knows…..he is there somewhere…… why take risk?’
Same way when people say No I don’t believe in past birth and all it means what they don’t believe in others believing in past birth. But heart of the heart….. I wanted all of you to know 76% of Americans believe in past birth, reincarnation theory; survey says, statistics says 76%. 76% of Americans believe in reincarnation theory; past birth. Past birth is one of the most fascinating concept. Everybody is interested…. for various reasons. Some people are interested just out of curiosity ‘how was I’. Some people are interested just to find out what way that can add something to their personality now, at this moment. Sometime knowing about your past gives you a new intelligence and heals your present. It heals. It does healing. Healing many of the psychosomatic disorders, many of the phobias can be healed by knowing the past and releasing it.
Third, if you know the past you will not repeat the same foolishness again and again. So many people want to know about their past so that they don’t want, they don’t want to repeat the same foolishness again just to escape from the foolishness. Fourth ultimately when you know about your past again what has happened again and again and again how you take birth and die, you will be tired of that foolishness and stop taking birth; be liberated. So for various reasons people want to know about their past.
Buddha, I can say, greatest incarnation who gave a clear understanding and technology about the past. Please understand Buddha has not only given the understanding he has given an amazing technology. Not only that, he has inspired people to know about their past, to work on their past, by revealing all his past life called Jataka Tales, Jataka Stories. Please understand you may be thinking why Buddha revealed all his past. Actually every person before achieving enlightenment, last moment when he is disappearing into the enlightenment, those moments, will have the complete recollection and complete awareness of all their past births; the memory will be opened. Buddha is a great Master almost like a black box retrieval he retrieved the whole thing. All Jataka Tales and presented the whole to the whole world.
You may think why? Please understand when you read the Buddha’s Jataka Tales you will understand all this four; One, if you are just curious you can see how the life progresses. Second if you want to know how the past births has impacted Buddha’s present incarnation. Third if you understand the Jataka Tales you will see how knowing the past has healed many of the Buddha’s traumas, phobias and how quickly his intelligence was awakened, why so quickly his intelligence was awakened. See, we also see whatever Buddha has seen in his life. What that three thing; sick man, old man, dead body. Buddha saw all this three only once. Immediately the pratyagatma chaitanya jaagrata, the individual inner awakening has happened in him.
We see all this three almost every day. Why nothing happens? If you read the Jataka Tales of Buddha you will understand why he had that inner awakening? He was prepared, ready. Third thing, very important thing very important truth; how Buddha’s past life memory has made him more intelligent. Fourth ultimately how… knowing how he repeats the many lives after lives after lives he decided not to take one more birth; his own enlightenment.
If you read Buddha’s Jataka Tales you will be inspired for all four. If you look into your own past and know your own Jataka Tales you will have the experience of all this four. When you read Buddha’s Jataka Tales what clicks you intellectually will become experience when you know your Jataka tales, your Jataka stories. Understand Patanjali is giving us a powerful technique to know your Jataka Stories, your Jataka Tales, your past lives. I wanted to talk on this technique and technology at least for next two days. Today I will give you complete introduction then we will enter into the very past life regression, the very process, the very technique.
So understand today the basic truth I want you to know; we did have past births. Second the reincarnation theory is true. Third by knowing the past births you can be liberated from all the problems of present birth. So take up this as a home work today. Inspire, enroll, convince as many people as possible about this past life three truths and bring them tomorrow to satsang to hear the technique and technology related to past life regression. Tomorrow and day after tomorrow I will expand in a detailed way the technique to do the past life regression which you can directly practice and experience in the life. So please understand past life regression can lead you to enlightenment.
So I bless all of you who are sitting with us at this moment in 654 places, in 240 cities, in 30 countries. I bless you all to achieve, live, experience, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda.
Thank you.
Patanjali Yoga Sutras 125 Techniques for Past Life Regression DATE: February 26th 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 30:39
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees and disciples who are sitting with us around the world at this moment in 634 locations, in 193 cities and 28 countries. I welcome all the devotees, disciples who are sitting around the world at this moment and I am able to see 17 cities in two way. I am able to see Los Angeles, San Hose, Seattle, Singapore, Guadeloupe, Mexico, Ohio, Houston, Malaysia, Philadelphia, Dallas, Dubai, New Jersey, Atlanta, Hyderabad, Phoenix, Toronto. All this seventeen paces I able to see on two way. I welcome all of you sitting with us at this moment in spite of your different time. I think for some country it is night 2 O’ clock for some country it is morning 3 O’ clock for some country it is noon 1 O’ clock. Actually the watch in front of me shows any time it will be right time, because for some country which is sitting with us that will be the time.
So I welcome all of you with my love and respects. As you are all aware I am continuing on Patanjali’s Yoga sutras. Today’s morning satsang is on Patanjali’s yoga sutras. I am continuing the same sutra which I was exploring yesterday; 124th sutra the subject is ‘Know Your Past Life’. It is about the Past life regression. Yesterday I was explaining the science of past life regression. Now I will enter into the technique and technology for past life regression.... samskara saksat karanat purva jati jnanam.
Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as through the perceiving of the impressions comes the knowledge of past life. I have spoken elaborately on this past life regression. It’s already available in YouTube. I have spoken more than 10 hours on past life regression. I will give you the essence Patanjali is trying to explain through this sutra. First you need to understand what is past life.
There is a question from Los Angeles satsang center. “Ten Avatars include Buddha but Buddha’s Jataka Tales does not include all this ten Avatars. Does it? Can you explain more on the beauty of Dasavatar Jataka.”
You need to understand this truth; first the basic truth about the past life. Your soul, the individual soul is the reflection of the cosmic soul what we call Paramatma. Swatma is the reflection of Paramatma. The individual soul is the reflection of the cosmic soul. Your body is the mirror on which the reflection is happening.
Please understand I will explain with this example. Understand this light above my head is the cosmic soul. The reflection of that light on this pad is the individual soul. This pad is body. Every time when you take a new birth you create new pad. You can call it ... if you visualize this as a mirror, new mirror. So Buddha’s Jataka Tales are the tales of all the mirror he assumed. Please understand all the mirrors he assumed. When we say Buddha is an incarnation don’t think he has to go through that same process like matsya avatara, kurma avatara, varaha avatara then narasimha avatara. No. From all those incarnations intelligence, he collects and makes his own mirror. It’s like from those ten mirrors he collects one, one small part and makes his own mirror. Out of that material he makes his own mirror. It’s a very subtle but an important truth. If you know this truth all the questions and doubts about this past life will disappear and not only that, understanding about your past life will help you in the present life.
The second understanding about the past; you have three layers of past. One, past of… from your birth to this moment; that’s the first layer past. After you took birth in this body, from your date of birth to this day; this is called first layer past. Second all the births you took and till this moment it is the second layer past. Third from the beginning of the cosmos and till this moment it is third layer past. Forget about third layer past. That is not required for you. That is too much and out of syllabus for you which is not directly required. That is required only for the higher major decisions related to the whole cosmos. Anyhow you are not going to decide those things. So you don’t need to know about those things. A common man needs to know only the simple laws which you need to follow in your life. You don’t need to bother so much about the constitution. So the third layer past is required only if you want to work on the cosmic constitution; not otherwise.
If you know the first layer past and second layer past, that is enough. It will heal you and enlighten you. Knowing the first layer past will heal you physically. Especially all the disorders related to the heart, all the disease related to the heart is from the root of first layer past. Please understand the Bharatn psyche, the Bharatn lifestyle, Bharatn mental setup, Bharatn food, Bharatn clothing’s everything is a designed to flow with a understanding of past life. But unfortunately we moved out of that understanding. That is the reason the whole Bharatn civilization is suffering with heart disorders. Understand Bharatns suffer 600% more heart disorder than any other civilization. It’s a international study statistics; statistics from international study. Bharatns suffer 600% more heart disorders than any other ethnic community or groups or civilizations.
Please understand this is only recently, I can say last eighty years, when we started disconnecting our self from our traditional understanding based way of life. If you think you have only 100 year life, the amount of hurryness with which you need to squeeze the life as much as you can and you will have to finish living. So what will you do? The rush, the violence, the aggression with which you jump on life and try to squeeze as much as you can, naturally your heart is not capable to run in that speed. It leads to enormous amount of desires and very little capacity for your body and mind. This conflict, this frustration is responsible for all heart disorders.
We are basically agriculture based grain based civilization. Our mental setup, life style, very DNA that’s a right word, our very core, our very body; if you are born to Bharatn parents your very body is designed to live the life with an understanding of multiple births, reincarnation. Because every understanding our ancestors carry is transmitted to our bio memory as a internal deep programming. I tell you, understand mind is societal, body is natural. Bharatn body is built to understand and live the life with a clear understanding, a broad understanding about the multiple lives you went through and you will go through. If you have the understanding we are, we had many births, we are going to have many births that brings a tremendous restful awareness. You don’t need to hurry so much. If I achieve now great! If not I can always have it in future. The restful awareness which the concept of multiple births brings is unimaginable; extraordinary.
That is the reason I want you to understand the first layer and second layer past. The first layer past will heal basic problems of life. Second layer past will enlighten you and infuse tremendous energy and joy in you. Patanjali one of the greatest inner scientist ever happened on the planet earth gives an amazing technique, a powerful technique. He says through the perceiving of the impressions, by observing the past impressions, you can achieve the past life memory.
I will give you now the exact technique what to do to open up your past life memory. You need to do this process at least for twenty one days. Night, before going to the bed, just sit. Start going back in your life. Please understand night eight o' clock if you are sitting for this meditation, start from the moment you woke up from the bed; maybe morning five or six o clock you wake up. From that time start 6, then 7, then 8, then 9, from morning just come down; just not rethinking. Reliving! I am not asking you to rethink. No. I am not asking you to review. No. I am asking you to relive. From morning come down to this moment and same way, second, from this moment go back to morning.
Please understand you need to do two thing. First sit relive; morning 6 O' clock you woke up. Then you brushed your teeth, took bath, dressed up, went for breakfast went to office. This all you did in office, then had lunch; in this cycle once. Then second go back like eight o’ clock you are sitting, oh half an hour before what did I do? Then 7 O' clock what did I do? 6.30 What did I do? 6 O' clock what did I do? Go back from this to the morning. Please understand it’s a very powerful process. Once come from morning waking up to night going to bed, second night going to bed to morning waking up. When you do this two reliving, so many minute details, the subtle emotions you went through, the subtle experiences you went through, whole thing will be awakened.
I can say, I can actually assure, within 21 days, within 21 days the whole understanding about the past and all the questions related to your past, how you create a samskara, impression, how you manipulate it for your day to day understanding and how you can heal the wounds created by those samskaras. Understand all this three will click in your inner space. How much ever I teach you by words it will be just word. It has to become your very experience. As long as it is my word you will never have the deepest understanding. Only when it becomes your own word it will become your deepest understanding.
It’s a exact technique what Patanjali means by this word samskara saksat karanat purva jaati jnanam. Samskara saksat karana; samyama on samskaras observing the past impressions; this is a technique. Please understand night you may need to spend one hour. If you are deeply interested in your past life regression, healing many traumas, phobias, fears you carry in your present life from past life, go through this process. Sit, from morning till night what you did, relive. Then from night to morning what you did, relive. It will be same but when you go through this way and this way you will have complete new understanding how your impressions create your past.
One more thing you may think how going through my one day of past can reveal my whole life past for me. It will; you will see it. Your one day has the whole essence of your life. When your mental setup was created as a child all the fears, greed, joy, guilt, pain, pleasure anything is recorded, every day you go through those experiences directly or indirectly in some way. So one day if you analyze you will open up your whole past. Suddenly you will see the memories incidents which you did not go through that day also will start opening up vividly, clearly.
Actually when you see and experience the whole past, the first thing will happen to you is you will start laughing about life. How foolishly you are doing the same thing again and again and again. That is why in Zen tradition they call the ultimate laughter is enlightenment or enlightenment is ultimate laughter; laughing at the whole foolishness. Actually when you laugh at the whole foolishness they do not know what to do. They are completely perturbed and disturbed. Laugh at the whole mind and samskaras which is attacking you in the inner space. Suddenly they will lose power over you and disappear.
So today practice this process tonight and send me your reply. The technique is, sit before going to the bed and live your past from morning till night and night to morning. Send me your home work.

START TIME:
DURATION: 47:04
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees, disciples who are sitting with us around the world at this moment in 518 places, in 197 cities, in 91 states, in 28 countries. And I welcome all the cities, temples, ashrams, our satsang centres which are sitting with us at this moment in two way, two way connection. 01:25 I am able to see Los Angeles, USA, San Jose, San Jose, Seattle, Ohio, Phoenix, Houston, New York, Dallas, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Atlanta and Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver. All these cities I am able to see two way. 02:06 In Bharat, Anna nagar, first time I am seeing Anna nagar. So my blessings to the Anna nagar centre. Dr. Seetha , blessings to you and your team; Adayar centre, Tirunelveli. And in Europe, Germany is sitting with us. I am able to see Germany centre. In Malaysia we have one team sitting in the ashram and Kuala Lumpur another group of devotees. More than 100 people are sitting with us for the eN-kriya initiation. I am able to see both the teams. Dubai, I am able to see and Guadalupe I am able to see and in Singapore two centres are sitting with us today; ANGMOKHIO??? Centre and Singapore satsang, both I am able to see and Australia. So totally in 10 countries, 25 cities are sitting with us at this moment. 03:25 Very happy to welcome all of you! So before entering into the satsang, please get back to padmasana, and samana mudra. Let us start the eN-effect. The eN-experience. Today's subject for the eN-Kriya initiation is ‘Manifestation’. 03:57 Please understand. Today all of you will learn how manifestation can be done through eN-kriya. You can manifest health, happiness, emotional fulfilment, feeling completed, feeling fulfilled, wealth or any outer world incident which you need, ultimately enlightenment itself. You can manifest anything you want through eN-kriya. 04:47 Please understand. A western logic can never understand the eastern way of living and attracting abundance. In the east if somebody wants to become rich, he goes and sits under a tree and starts chanting some mantra. You may think how can that bring richness, wealth? It brings! 05:29 One important thing is, when he sits under a tree and meditates, when the wealth happens, not only he has a wealth, he has a intelligence and restful awareness to enjoy it live it. But if the wealth is brought by the violence, aggression, outgoing; then naturally he loses the capacity to live, capacity to enjoy, capacity to own. 06:09 Please understand. Many people are owned by wealth, not owning wealth. Owning means you must be enjoying. If you cannot spend the way you want, if you cannot enjoy the way you want, if you cannot give as you want then what is the use of wealth? 06:37 Wealth has two dimensions; Kubera, lakshmi. Kubera just hoards, hoards, hoards, hoards, hoards and somebody steals and goes it, that's it; goes away. Lakshmi means rotating, circulating. Lakshmi wealth is like currency, it will be in current. It will be in use in current, in currency. 07:06 We need to look into some of these details. Only if it is circulating it can be called as wealth. Not otherwise. Manifestation; its one the oldest science, very fascinating science! How an idea can be taken, put into the source from where your very body is manifested and how to manifest this idea into reality? 07:52 Please understand. Your body has manifested from certain energy which was in your mother’s womb. If you are carrying female body, you carry the same energy in your womb. If you are having male body you carry the same energy in you at least to reproduce a body in female womb. 08:20 Whether you are carrying male body or female body, you have the energy which manifested your own body. There is a seed energy which manifested your body. Now if you put any idea into that seed energy, it can manifest that idea also into reality. 08:45 In Sanskrit we have a very beautiful word, hiranya garba; means the womb in which any ideas planted becomes immediately reality. It’s called golden womb or cosmic womb. All of you have ability, capacity to put an idea into hiranya garba and make that idea into reality. Any idea which has been put in hiranya garba which becomes reality or a possibility, which directly adds to your life is from hiranya garba. 09:43 Understand this concept, this truth. You are continuously manifesting but unfortunately unconscious manifesting. Please understand, all your diseases are your manifestation. All your dissatisfaction is your manifestation. All the untoward incidents in your life is your manifestation. Same way any untoward incident caused to you, you can change it completely. The power of manifestation can play any way you want. 10:34 A man who is continuously manifesting unconsciously feels bound, sick, broke. A man who knows the science of conscious manifestation experiences a whole life as a play, game. That is why we say, whenever we write the biography, history of enlightened beings, we say 'leela': Ramaleela, Krishnaleela means what? Krishna knows the science of conscious manifestation. He plays with it. Rama knows science of manifestation. He plays with it. Buddha knows science of manifestation. He plays with it. When you know the science of manifestation, your life becomes play, leela. 11:41 Even now you are unconsciously constantly manifesting. I can see sometime, when people feel suffocated from reason, something, how the emission of negativity happens in their body and mind. And the amount of emission of negativity, they do it thinking that they are going to hurt the other person or disrespect the other person, demean the other person. They do not understand, he is going to surround them as poison and kill them. 12:25 The other day, just few days before one guy came and fell at my feet, brought by another one person and started crying profusely. I said, "Why are you crying? Tell me. If I can help you in some way I can help". He said, " Swamiji, during this persecution on you, at that time, I came and burnt some of your photos and posters outside your ashram. From that day still now I am having intense hand pain. Please somehow heal me". 13:08 I looked into his system. Of course I did not curse and I don't need to curse. But the negativity he created to demean me, he is not able to get rid of it. See it is not that you are that intelligent and you take little poison and throw it on the other person and exactly wash your hand and wipe it and clearly safe guard yourself. At least in the physical level, you know some dettol or this that to clean your hands. In the mental level you don’t know. When you take a poison to throw it on somebody, not only you spit here there and without knowing you spit thu thu thu here all over because you do not know the clear boundaries in the mental layer. 14:07 And I have seen people who disrespected, abused still unable to get out, stuck. They are not able to forgive them self. I have forgiven them but they are not able to forgive them self. Suffering, do not know what to do. If somebody can materialise vibhooti as He wants where He wants, if somebody can awaken the kundalini shakti of people sitting across the globe, then He may have little intelligence to know what you are doing. 15:14 You go on manifest in your life but unfortunately unconsciously. Going on manifesting unconsciously. The unconscious manifestation not only disturbs you, disturbs others also. People, who go on manifest things unconsciously, harass themselves and others. Conscious manifestation means exactly doing what do you want to do, achieving what do you want to achieve. Putting the seed in the right space and making it into reality is manifestation. 16:19 Any idea you wanted to make it reality, take it to the level of kunadilni shakti. The kunadalini which is in you is responsible for manifestation of your body, your mind. When you take the seed to that kundalini energy level, when you are having levitation experience or kundalini experience, any idea you sow inside, put inside deeply becomes reality as soon as possible. 16:56 I can say when I use the word as soon as possible, it will be just question of few minutes or few hours. I don't even want to say few days. Try, you can try. When you are intensely experiencing kundalini experience, put any idea. If you want to have good relationship with some body, put that idea. If you want to manifest health, put that idea. 17:23 I can see in my own ashram so many people who had such serious diseases and disorders, just by few kundalini awakening sessions; they are just out of that diseases and disorders. A manifestation is a science of consciously altering the reality as you want and experiencing the reality as you want. 18:17 eN-Kriya awakens your kundalini energy so intensely, it manifests whatever you sow in the seed form in your inner space. I initiate all of you into this powerful technique, sacred secret, eN-kriya at this moment people who are sitting with us in 584 places, in 203 cities, in 94 states, in 29 countries. 19:09 I'll first give the instruction for the technique, kriya then guide you to do it. Please understand, this kriya is a scientific full proof, time tested, powerful method to awaken your kundalini shakti which will naturally make the mitochondria cell energy and the deeper stands of DNA awakened. 19:53 This kriya, en-kriya is one of the most sacred secret. ‘rajavidya rajaguhya’. Ultimate knowledge and kept as ultimate secret, THE secret. 20:22 The first step is nadi shodana. It is 7 step. I'll explain step by step then you can…I'll guide you into the practice and I request all the people who have any serious heart conditions or high blood pressure, not to do intensely with too much effort. Do it very slowly as mildly as possible or don’t do it at all. 20:59 The first step is nadi shodhana. Inhaling and exhaling. That’s all. It’s a preparation. Just inhale deeply and exhale deeply. That’s it. Eleven times inhale and exhale; inhale and exhale. This is the first step. Nadi sodhana. 21:31 The second step, second important step which is a very powerful and very important step; bastrika. We don’t understand the importance of this bastrika. It is one kind of bastrika pranayama. Only the lower abdomen should be pulled in and up. If it’s too big nothing can be done! Try to pull in and up. 21 times bastrika. 22:29 Third, please understand the third is important thing. Samana kriya; inhale as slowly as possible, hold as long as possible, exhale as slowly as possible, hold the lungs empty as long as possible. Inhale as slowly as possible, hold as long as possible, exhale as slowly as possible; hold the lungs empty as long as possible. 21times. 23:18 The fourth part is the main Kriya. First these three parts are preparation. The fourth part is the main kriya, eN-kriya. In this you need to get into sambhavi mudra. Thumbs on your ears, the index finger and middle finger on the eyes, ring finger on the nose, nostrils and the little finger on the lip. 23:54 Locking all the senses and sending the energy inward. Lock, stop even your breathing as long as you can. When you feel it is too much, no you can't, then relax open the nostrils, allow the body to balance itself. It may inhale or exhale, it will balance itself. In few seconds, in few seconds again block it and send the energy inside, awaken the kundalini. That is the moment the possibility of enlightenment is there. This eN-kriya is a technique for sudden enlightenment and gradual enlightenment. 24:55 This fourth part, exact kriya part is a technique for sudden enlightenment and even if you miss it, the technique is the path for gradual enlightenment. First time the planet earth has a technique which is for sudden and gradual enlightenment, for both. Always the technique for instant enlightenment will not be useful for gradual enlightenment because either you get it now or miss it. Technique for gradual enlightenment will never help you to have the instant enlightenment. 25:44 eN-kriya has been designed so beautifully, it gives the possibility of sudden instant enlightenment; if you miss it at least gradual enlightenment. It is like a insured gambling. If you get it you get it, otherwise at least t it is an insurance saving. So 21 times stop the breath doing sambavi mudra. 26:29 The next fifth part is intense humming for 7 minutes; digesting that energy, settling it in your body. The sixth part is do shakti dharana means stand on your knees and raise your hand facing the banyan tree. All of the world, please understand, just like how Muslim face Mecca, same way face this banyan tree from all over the world. Feel connected to the master. When you are feeling full, pour yourself on the earth. Receive from the sky, pour it on the earth. Just become a pure empty channel for cosmic energy. Do this at least 7 times. 27:34 Then the seventh part, just sit. Send a deep loving, caring, peaceful, compassionate vibrations and thoughts to the whole cosmos. Sit feeling connected to the master. Whatever you have just throw it away to the world. If you have so much of joy, peace, love inside, don’t hold. Send it to the world. Tell yourself let this be released to the cosmos. Let me share with the cosmos, let it be released. 28:12 More and more you release, more and more will be poured on you. Cosmos always gives back what you give it to it. Krishna says, “Anything you give me, I give you ten thousand times more”. So never send fear, pain, worrying to cosmos. Send joy, pleasure, love, compassion, peace to cosmos so that you receive that ten thousand times more. 28:46 That is the reason we sit and do shanti mantra and swasti mantra. “loka samastha sukhino bhavantu”. Let everybody be blissful, let everything be blissful!! Send this intense peaceful vibrations in the 7th step. The seventh step is more my job. I'll see that the kundalini experience happens in you and you experience levitation, awakening of inner potential energy. 29:20 Now seven steps: I'll now guide you step by step into the kriya. Please sit on the ground, on the floor. Close your right nostril with right thumb; inhale through the left as deeply as possible and as slowly as possible. Inhale through one nostril and exhale through the other side. Again inhale through one side and exhale through the other side. Do this at least 11 times. 30:17 If you are pregnant or having hernia problems, do it very slowly. Don't do too much of intensity. Let us move to bastrika. Pull your lower abdomen in and up 21 times intensely. Don’t move your shoulders, only the lower abdomen in and up. Do the bastrika at least 21 times. 31:10 Samana kriya: Use your hands and inhale as slowly as possible. Please, not sambhavi mudra, samana kriya. Use your fingers to close the nostril one side. Inhale as deeply as possible and as slowly as possible, hold as long as possible, exhale as slowly as possible, hold the lungs empty as long as possible. This is one cycle; all these four action. So do this at least 21 times. Don’t do just by will. Use your fingers to close the nostril. Please use your fingers. Inhale as slowly as possible, hold as long as possible, exhale as slowly as possible, hold the lungs empty as long as possible. Do this same cycle at least 21 times. Use the fingers, don’t do mentally. Inhale as slowly as possible, hold as long as possible, exhale as slowly as possible, hold the lungs empty as long as possible. Sit straight and do it. 33:54 Now get into sambhavi mudra. Thumbs should be on the ears, index finger and middle finger on the eyes, ring finger on the nostrils and little finger on the lips. Lock all the senses. Send the energy intensely inside. Lock it as intensely as possible, hold as much as you can. When you can’t, let go and again start. Hold as much as you can, when you can’t, relax and start again. Do it at least 21 times. 35:50 Now sit and start humming intensely. Sit in padmasana and start humming in samana mudra as loudly as possible as intensely as possible. Now start the shakti dharana. Stand on your knees, raise your hand, facing the direction of banyan tree, feel connected intensely with the divine, the Master’s energy. When you feel full, overflowing, fall at the ground and pour yourself. When you are full, fall on the ground and pour yourself completely. Do it at least 7 times. 37:11 If you have completed please settle down. Sit in padmasana and samana mudra. Feel connected to the Master, Master’s cosmic energy intensely and send strong blissful compassionate vibrations around the globe. Let us create the eN-effect. Let the Kundalini shakti in you all intensely explode. Let it be intensely awakened. Let the kundalini shakti reach the crown centre. 38:11 Let the kundalini shakti be intensely awakened in all your energy centres. Let the intense joy and bliss and success energy explode in you. Let the intense love and bliss and compassion spread all over the globe. Let your kundalini shakti reach the crown centre and experience the communion with Sadashiva, Mahadeva, Maheshwara 38:56 Relax! You can open your eyes. Beautifully we have created the eN-effect on the whole cosmos. Let all the auspiciousness be showered on the cosmos and all of you. 39:29 I have few things to tell all our devotees disciples and satsangis. Please don’t fast. If you want to do something to stop this religious persecution, go and give petition to the Bharatn embassy in your country and do silent protest there but please do not continue fasting. It’s my humble request. 40:07 And I have some good things for you to listen. In Malaysia, from Golden paduka vibhooti has started like a small dots and building like ant hill, it is coming out. Let me bless some more cities, few more cities will have vibhooti happening in my padukas this moment and at least few devotees will have vibhooti in their hand at this moment in their hands, inside samana mudra. 40:58 My blessings to all of you!

LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 51:36
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees, disciples, satsangis around the world at this moment in 627 places, in 194 cities, in 24 countries. And I we have many cities two way with us; Los Angeles, Seattle, Ohio, Vancouver, San Hose, and today first time Topanga California and Phoenix is also with us. Topanga are you able to hear me? Yes, I am able to see you guys. All these cities are in two way with us. Before entering into satsang I remind all of you to get back to padmasana.
San Hose are you able to hear me? Yes, so they have got a new golden paduka today and I blessed. Vibhooti will start coming from that paduka regularly. I name San Hose temple as Paschim Mathura/Madura. It will be representative of Madurai and Shiva came down as a Yellamballa siddar, a great siddha in Madurai and did all leelas. So the San Hose center will have continuous miracles and leelas. So each temple we will specially dedicate for special energies. San Hose for Meenakshi and Madurai and Yellamballa siddar. So Shiva will be there continuously walking around as Yellamballa Siddar not just giving vibhooti. It will continuously experience different miracles. Suddenly the music system will start singing by itself. Suddenly the anklets of Devi will be heard in the night time walking. You will see all kinds of miraculous experiences in San Hose temple. You will see the footprint of Devi today. Understand you will see the footprint of Devi in the carpet. Just see the footprint it will be of the Bharatn mehandi. You will see. Don’t disturb. Thoroughly study, photograph, near the Devi’s moorthi on the carpets on the floor you will see footprints today, within 48hours. Study it, it will be a Bharatn mehandi feet. You will see. San Hose is going to radiate special miracles, special…. manifest special energies.
And Seattle will be Chidambaram. Seattle temple will be called as Paschima Chidambaram. Understand in Seattle you will hear again and again the dancing anklet sounds of Shiva. LA will be Arunachala, Paschima Arunachala. Ohio will be Paschima Prayag, western Prayag. If you take bath in Ohio, the rivers you will be liberated. If you have darshan of Seattle you will be liberated. If you meditate in San Hose temple you will be liberated. If you just remember Los Angeles temple you will be liberated. So each temple will represent unique energies of Bharat; unique energies of the different energy centers. The Phoenix will represent Kanchipuram. It will be Paschima Kanchipuram, Paschima Kanchi. So we will install each temple in a unique way, unique energy. The St. Louis will be Paschima Tirumala. It will represent the Venkateshwara’s energy, Tirupathi. So each temple in US, in other countries will represent one, one energy. Malaysia will represent Palani. So each temple will have the significant intense energy of one great energy center of Bharat and not only that you will see that kind of special energies will express in those temples.
Lets enter into today’s satsang, today’s sutra. I have already completed on past life regression. So whatever I wanted to share I thought I will speak for three days on the sutra on the past life. But I think in two days I completed whatever I wanted to say. Now I will enter into the next sutra; 125th sutra of Patanjali in the 3rd chapter 19th verse; the subject ‘Photographing Minds’. Today Patanjali is explaining a very unique, very unique sutra - The science of samudrika lakshana. Bharatn tradition has developed some of the great unique sciences. One of the unique science came out of the inner space of Bharatn rishis is samudrika lakshana. Like a vastu shastra, joytisha shastra - samudrika lakshana is one of the great science from the Bharatn tradition, from the Bharatn masters. The root of that science is from this sutra. pratyayasya para chitta jnanam. Wow ... pratyayasya para chitta jnanam
Through the practice of samyama on the science in another’s body, knowledge of the mind comes. Through the practice of samyama on the science in another’s body, knowledge of his mind comes. Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as this.
Swami Prabhavananda translates as by making samyama on the distinguishing marks of another man’s body, one obtains knowledge of nature of his mind.
Swami Sachidananda translates as by samyama on the distinguishing signs of other’s bodies, knowledge of their mental image is obtained.
Bhagwan Osho translates as through samyama the image occupying another’s mind can be known, but perception through samyama does not bring knowledge of the mental factors that support the image in another’s mind, for, that is not the object of samyama. By performing samyama on the form of the body to suspend receptive power, the contact between the eye of an observer and the light from the body is broken and the body becomes invisible. This principle also explains the disappearance of sound. Wow! Osho translates some of the next sutras also along with this sutra. He connects. That’s the uniqueness of our knowledge. If you connect two three sutras together you can completely give a different meaning, different explanation, different understanding.
Samudrika lakshana the way Vedic tradition looks at the body and mind, plays a important role on how we eat how we dress how we medicate our body, how we maintain, how we sleep; everything is thoroughly influenced by one concept. That concept is your body is the shell of your consciousness which is consciously defined, designed and developed by your will. Please understand your body is the shell of your consciousness which is consciously, willfully, designed, created, developed. This science, this truth, now what I expressed, forms a base of Bharatn medication traditions, Bharatn medicinal systems - siddha, ayurveda; all Bharatn medicinal systems. This truth is base for our dressing system - the way we dress. This system this truth is base for the whole samudrika lakshana; means by studying the physical image, the measurements - the mental setup is studied. The revelations about the mental setup is understood, the truths about the mental setup is revealed. Please understand this theory forms the base of yoga.
For example samudrika lakshana says the face, this size, they keep it as…. they call it as one unit; the edge of this ear edge and this edge, this they call it as one unit. It is supposed to be this size. I am giving you the exact science of samudrika. If you put your hand like this, the edge, the distance between this tip and this tip, the thumb and the little finger, this is called one unit and the distance between the two ear tips is supposed to be one unit. If you measure it with a straight line, this is supposed to be one unit and the distance between this edge and this edge should be three unit and the distance between the hip the lowest point should be again one unit. No we may laugh; our samudrika describes, the tradition describes, if this is as per the measurement what will be the personality. If this comes down or goes up what will be the personality.
The cross section of your body, the belly button to the back should never be more than one unit. Then death is waiting. No…. our, See I am not only talking about the belly button means the optimum space from this to that should not be more than one unit. Of course it cannot be more than a unit. If it is then it is too much. So how a size should be they are describing very clearly, if this shoulder to shoulder is less than two and a half unit, the person will not have, will never be able to have larger understandings; the broad mind. He cannot see his whole life within a larger picture. He will be too silly just making decisions out of a small things flaring up. Not having a clear larger vision about the purpose of life; mission of life.
I have seen our Masters are not liars. They have done amazing research, amazing research on this science of how a body is willfully designed, developed and created, expressed by your consciousness, by every thought and action you are creating in your system. When you have certain thoughts continuously, that directly works on your system. When you have certain thoughts continuously but you don’t act upon it that also works on your system. When you have certain thoughts and continuously suppress it that also works on your system.
And another one thing the way you have the body does not mean you are cursed once for all. No. you can alter. By altering the bodies dimension, altering the abilities of the mind is yoga. Please understand by altering mind, altering the body is vedanta. By altering the body altering the mind is yoga. By analyzing the structure of the mind understanding the, sorry, by analyzing the structure of the body, understanding the mind is samudrika lakshana. Here Patanjali talks about the great science of samudrika lakshana. If you alter your body, I tell you if you alter your body, major samskaras of your system can be completely uprooted. Major samskaras can be uprooted. Your body is a shell consciously created by your will. With this understanding, constantly work on it. Do not leave blind spots in your body. Blind spots means unattended spots for the people who have a huge belly - means you have unattended that spot for last few years. When it has started growing what were you doing. It was after all growing around you; not that it grew somewhere and they brought it and assembled it on you. No. Blind spot! And after growing, many parts of your own body you can’t see. I am giving you one example.
The essence of this sutra is one of the greatest discovery of the Bharatn tradition. Body is not just bio mechanism. It is a living entity which is created by independent intelligence. Just like how our websites are designed, the color, how it should look and the photographs, everything how it is designed, same way you sit and design skin color, the hair, its size and the length of the hand; everything. Please understand everything you sit and design. You have multiple choices in front of you. You sit and design. Every morning 21 minute….see that is the one cycle of you waking up. When you remember you are alive, you are awake about this world - few minutes after that and few minutes before that, I can say five minutes after you waking up and 16 minutes before you waking up; that 21 minute plays a major role in everyday designing of your body.
Every day you design your body. Understand everyday you design your body. It is not that just once in a year on your birthday you design your body. No. every day it changes. That is why I say the moment you wake up jump out of the bed. Every day you design your body. You design how you should look, how you should feel, how you should feel about you, how others should feel about you. But unfortunately this whole process goes on unconsciously. So two thing you need to understand through this sutra. One, learning little bit of studying the body structure and mental setup; you don’t even need to refer samudrika lakshana. No. You don’t even need to refer those books; no need.
Take four persons, major influence on your life; pick up some four people who have major influence over your life; maybe your spouse or kids, your guru, some four people. Pick up those four and try to study their body structure and mental set up. Of course you cannot study my mental setup because I don’t have mind. You may have some mentor in your life. You can never study a Guru’s mental setup because he doesn’t have mind. That is where the whole problem comes. You try to impose your anger on him and wanted to see that he is angry violent towards you. But suddenly when your mind melts down, you know he is not angry he is not violent. See at least if you can confirm he is angry to me, you can make a decision in your life and move on. But you can’t come to that decision also and same way your violence doesn’t allow you to feel that he is intensely compassionate towards you; that also your mind will allow you to feel. You are…. neither your mind will allow you to feel he is your friend and compassionate nor your mind will allow you to feel he is your enemy, he is angry with you; because you will not find any symptoms of anger or enmity in him.
I want to tell you whether show of my anger or show of my greed, it is just a tool for me like a when I heal, how I use the healing stick, a normal man who doesn’t understand that I heal, if he sees me with a trishul when he comes near me and says I have a chest problem chest pain Swamiji, I just pick up a trishul what will happen? What he will think? Oh God! What is he doing? He is picking up trishul! But only I know I am going to heal him. Understand my anger is trishul for healing, not for killing. But this funny mind goes on playing. And another one worst thing is at least if your mind can confirm ‘No he is going to kill me, he is my enemy’ then at least you will be free and carry on in your life. That also will not happen; because, the underlying energy in your inner space which designs your body, is intelligent enough to catch the underlying current of the Masters energy which designs his body.
Understand you will never be able to find…..studying my body, my mental set up. But when you, but the energy of your underlying consciousness which designs your body will catch by its own intuition as a smell, it will catch ‘No he is not my enemy he is not violent’. That is why the love hate relationship with Master goes on till you get enlightened. It is a best word to define the guru disciple relationship. That is why the Upanishad starts saying sahana bhavatu sahanau gunatu - let us not hurt each other let us be friendly. Why should a rishi an enlightened guru, should sit with a disciple and start ‘let us not hate each other let us not hurt each other’! See if a disciple says ‘let you not hurt me’, it is understood logically because he is supposed to be in the lower run. But the Master starts, ‘let us not hate each other, let us not hurt each other, let us be friendly to each other’ because he knows during the process how you are going to use me sometime as a deity, sometime as effigy,
When you are evolving……see the process of evolution has two angle - one your negativity getting cleaned another one positivity getting increased. When your positivity is getting increased, the friendliness you feel within you about you and others, you will feel I am a deity. ‘Wow! He is God’. When the negativity is getting cleaned, when the acid wash is happening in you, you will feel ‘Oh! He is violent, he is effigy, he should be burnt’. Whether you feel me as a deity or effigy depends on the process you are going through; but in both you are evolving. That is why I say even while you feel me as effigy, don’t run away or don’t try to burn. Wait, have patience. If you run away, you will miss. If you try to burn, you will try to make 1000s miss me. I will not let that happen. Don’t worry.
So it’s an important truth. Decide to study four people, their body structure and their mental setup. You will have many revelations in you. Have this as a base and expand your analysis to some ten people. Understand create some basic laws and one more thing the basic laws which you create will not match with the basic laws your the next person creates. That is why Patanjali says you need to do samyama.
There is another one science in siddha tradition called vasa yoga means the siddha will be sitting in one place observing the breath; which nostril what speed which direction it is going and when somebody comes to him for any healing or any prediction just by the way his breathing changes by his presence, in his breathing space, he will predict whether he is going to be successful or losing, whether he is going to be healed or not. It’s called vasa yoga. The moment you wanted to talk to me I will know whether you are going to listen to me or not. I was being initiated into this vasa yoga by a great siddha, Narayana Swamy. His name was Narayana Swamy. This time when I went I went and saw the place where he used to sit; a small Ganesha temple he will sit and very powerful siddha. He is disciple of Paramahamsa Shivananda who was in Kerala; not the Shivananda Paramahamsa who was in Hrishikesh; not Hrishikesh Shivananda Swami…… In Kerala we had a Paramahamsa Shivananda, Shivananda Paramahamsa, a great Paramahamsa. He is a direct disciple of Shivananda Paramahamsa; very powerful siddha.
He was teaching me some of the basic rules. Then he said now I am sitting one person came to him for healing of the anal cancer, means continuous bleeding. Then immediately he looked at him and said you will become alright and he gave, you know the skin of the onion, peeled onion. You see next to the temple where he was sitting there was a onion shop, village onion shop. You know how in the villages they will put the vegetable shop. On the road itself they will spread the gunny bag and heap all the vegetables and sell. There was a onion shop and the onion skins were peeled and they were lying down in one corner. He just collected that and pressed in his hand and gave it to him and said make a small pillow with this and sit on it. You will be healed. And really in three months he got healed. That guy got healed.
Anyhow he was teaching me and he had a unique small instrument, tool, he will give me. It’s made out of a cotton. And when he sees the patients I have to sit behind him and study the breathing how it changes. So that is the way he will teach me. So one day I was studying especially this patient. So the rule written in the book; there is a beautiful book called periya gnana kovai. It’s a a essence of the vasa yoga knowledge from the siddha tradition. So the rule written in the book and the experience of him was not matching. See the rule says if the nadi changes to certain level the person will be healed. But in him the nadi was changing completely opposite but he is telling the person will be healed. Then I asked him, how is it? He said the understanding only can be picked up. The rule has to be studied by your individual body. That is what is called samyama. He says you need to sit and see ten patients and develop your own formula.
That is why I am saying you need to sit, study four people in your life who are closest to you - their body structure and mental structure. You will come up with your own formula. With that formula study ten more people who are close to you. Then you will develop the secondary formulas. By the time you develop secondary formulas you will have the tremendous understanding about your own body and mental set up. Please understand, this samyama will do two job one understanding about others who come to you, whom you see every day; their body and mental structure. Second - understanding about your own body and mental structure. If you know your own mental structure and avoid 1000s of sufferings, you can avoid 1000s of unnecessary sufferings.
I tell you just if you understand one truth…… other day one of my brahmachari….. to him I always used to tell, you project your father on me and suffer. But it was only an intellectual idea. He went and did some program. In that program it has become experience. After that I can see just understanding of that one truth he came out of that suffering. It is not there anymore. So whenever that suffering comes he knows this mental set up is reason for it. This mental set up is culprit. Understanding about mental set up makes that set up as object and you get the experience of seeing it objectively. It is no more a subject part of you. You do not attribute the suffering created by that mental set up on you. You don’t take it up. You do not attribute that suffering on your own inner space. You don’t attribute that on you. You know ehh this suffering is by my mental set up, not by me. So I cannot take up, take that up on me. I am not responsible. I should not attribute that suffering to me. No. I am different; the suffering mental set up is different.
Studying, doing samyama on this sutra will help you to develop amazing purposeful filling relationships. Understand learn to further the relationships, which fulfills your purpose and learn to curtail the relationships which bring suffering. That knowledge that understanding will happen to you if you do samyama on this sutra. How to do samyama on this sutra? I have given you the technique now. Sit, first pick up four people who are close to you in your life. Study, don’t show to them. You sit and study their body structure - broad shoulder or no, narrow or medium; like this every dimension every understanding; height - tall or short, medium, with your own understanding. Their characters and their body structure - in this four when you study you will find the common theme and formula. With that try to study the secondary ten more people who are ten more people who are close to you; next level.
By the time you study this first level primary and secondary you will develop your own understanding. With that anybody comes in your breathing space you know whether to further your relationship with that person or maintain a distance. Understand life is all about furthering the relationships which will fulfill your mission, your purpose and maintaining a distance from people who will not be helping your mission. I can give you a clear understanding with this one technique. You will have a clear understanding with this one technique. Try, not only this will lead finally to the understanding of your relationships. It will lead to the understanding of your own body and your own mental structure which will lead to enlightenment, which will avoid sufferings.
You see the form and the energy are very closely related. Just now I remembered all the places now I connected our Bharatn temples and the US temples. I am surprised there is a unique energy connection. See I said Los Angeles is representing Arunachala. Arunachala is fire. Los Angeles is continuously suffering with fire. Now that will be stopped. See Los Angeles has some wounded fire energy that is why the forest fire is the biggest problem of California. Now this fire energy will heal it. And Phoenix - earth energy, desert, Kanchipuram and Ohio - river, river energy, Prayag; of course Seattle – sky, Chidambaram is the sky energy Seattle is the sky energy; that’s why sky is constantly showering. Sky is alive in Seattle. In five minute it will be open bright clean, in five minutes it will be showering. It’s the sky energy. Each temple I can see…. Oh God! There is some connection.
Houston will be air energy, Kalahasti - too many cyclones. We will put Kalahasti Eshwara in Houston and stop all the natural calamities by the air. We will connect each temple with the each energy. We only need now water energy. We will come up with a place where the too much of suffering is happening because of water and install Jambukeshwara Jalakanteshwara and stop that also, heal that; the place where too much of flood is happening we will see.
In Pancha bhoota kshetras we created already Arunachala, Chidambaram, Kanchi. Now Houston will be Kalahasti and we need to create the Jambukeshwara Jalakanteshwara. Place and energy connects. Body and consciousness connects. They are connected to each other, related to each other. So study this sutra do samyama on this sutra. It will help immensely your day to day life for developing the relationships and your immense understanding about your own body and mind. See once you know your body and the mental structures you know how to alter it and alter the mental structure. It can free from many of the mental structural sufferings you are carrying and liberate you and lead you to enlightenment.
So I bless all of you who are sitting with us at this moment in 687 locations, in 222 cities, in 29 countries. I bless you all to achieve, live, experience, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda.
Thank you.
Patanjali Yoga Sutras 127 Mind of Spiritual Seeker DATE: March 1st 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 51:57
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all of you who are sitting with us at this moment around the world in 519 locations, in 174 cities, 24 countries. I am able to see all these cities, seven cities on two way; Seattle, San Hose, LA, Ohio, Phoenix, Hyderabad, Mexico. Mexico, I am able to see you all. Of course Vancouver, I am able to see. Yesterday in San Hose the Paschima Madura, the vibhooti did come out of the padukas exactly at 6PM. I was given the information ‘San Hose received vibhooti on the new golden padukas that Bhakta Swami started the puja yesterday for. It came at 6PM yesterday.’ Is there photographs? San Hose send the photographs. OK. So now you will see the leelas of Madurai, Madurai Thiruvariadalgal in San Hose.
Yesterday I was sitting and listing out all the temples and deities we will be creating. In Houston we will create Kalahasti; representation of Kalahasti energy and in New York we will create Varanasi, Kashi. As Varanasi stands as a symbol of the eastern culture the lifestyle of eastern culture, city represents eastern way of life. New York stands as a city represents western way of life. So we will have Varanasi in New York. We will create all 12 Jyotirlinga kshetras and 54 Shakti peethas in US. I have decided within 12/12/12 before the 12/12/12 there will be at least 108 temples outside Bharat; our temples, Dhyanapeetam temples at least 108.
We will enter into the satsang. Today’s subject 'Your mind has the Past and the Future.' This is 126th sutra of Patanjali’s yoga sutra in 3rd chapter 20th verse. na cha tat salambana tasya avisayin bhutatvat
Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as ‘but not its contents that not being the object of the samyama’.
Swami Prabhavananda translates as ‘but not of its contents because that is not the object of the samyama’.
Swami Sachidananda translates as but this does not include the support in the persons mind such as the motive behind the thought as that is not the object of samyama.
And Bhagwan Osho translates as through samyama the image occupying another’s mind can be known. Wow!
Na cha tat salambana tasya avisayin bhutatvat
Patanjali the scientist extraordinaire goes on describing various samyamas not only for you to experience those powers, to remind you the sign boards which happen on the way. On the process, when you experience, when you go through, when you go in, you experience many sign boards. Those sign boards can be an encouraging paths, points or can be an obstruction if you are standing stuck with it. Please understand it can be an encouraging sign board. For example you sit in Bangalore station in train to go to Delhi. Continuously seeing various stations which are supposed to come before Delhi and the board ‘Way to Delhi’ or this many kilometers to Delhi; this boards can do two job - the scenes can do two job. One it can be encouraging you. You are on the track you will reach Delhi, you will reach the goal. Or sometime people who are stuck in ignorance and foolishness, it can be diversion. They may think they reached Delhi and get down.
Please understand Patanjali has an amazing respect for the life of a seeker. If you are stuck in a wrong company; not only the friendship I am saying, I am saying a company where you work. If you are stuck in a wrong company and unable to grow further in your life, your life is being sucked by the owner of the company; you are wasting your life with him. Same way, if you are stuck with a wrong Guru you are wasting your life and your life is being sucked by him. Understand getting stuck with the wrong guru is the worst thing can happen to human being.
Patanjali, the scientist extraordinaire, is making sure you don’t get stuck with the wrong guru or wrong system, wrong philosophy. You go on marching, progressing, not being stuck, not being stagnant. I can say the extraordinary compassion of Patanjali is expressed in this one sutra where he describes very beautifully the various process happening through the tapas, through the sadhana, through the samyama, through the Samadhi; being stuck with the wrong system not only waste of time - waste of life which is too costly.
Especially you see for example a man who is completely uneducated useless if his life is wasted world doesn’t lose much. At the most what he would have contributed? Even if he has contributed he would have built one or two houses, made one or two kids load on the planet earth; that’s all nothing much. But a man in whom the pratyagatma chaitanya jaagrata has happened, in whom the conscious awakening has happened, in whom the inner awakening has happened - his life is too valuable too costly to be wasted. I tell you, don’t waste it in depression, don’t waste it being unproductive, don’t waste it in stuck with some useless idiotic third rate depressing ideas. No. That is not life. It is too costly mistake. When you waste life without being creative, unproductive, especially after inner awakening it’s waste.
Patanjali is trying to avoid that wastage through this sutra. How to find out whether I am with a right Guru or wrong Guru? A right guru will go on pushing you continuously to move forward; will never give you the feeling you are done. I tell you the real peace is the explosion of the mind which asks for peace into piece, piece. The real peace is the explosion of the mind which asks for peace into piece, piece. No that is where the real peace happens. Understand what you think as real peace is the tamasic tiredness, chronic fatigue. That is why when life comes in front of you, you just jump into some cave; wanted to have a cozy cave. No! Even your cave is inside my Himalayas! Understand! Even if you catch a cave you do not understand I am the walls of the cave. Your real Master will go on be pushing you. As I said a Samadhi happens to person whose non mechanical parts of the brain is alive, awakened. The mind which asks you for vacation for rest for peace for tiredness has to be blown away. It should explode to piece, piece, piece. Only then peace happens.
A real Master will go on be pushing you; will not encourage that fatigue tiredness. He will never run a resort. He will run only a commune. Maybe after his death his disciples will change the name into resort. He himself will never run a resort. Person who ask for the peace of the resort out of fatigue tiredness wanted rest will never be allowed in the presence of a living Master. The mind which asks once in a while I think I need rest I think I need a break. Yes! You need; not from the situation you need break in the root. You need to be broken the mind which asks for the break need to be broken. That is the break it needs.
A real Master is a person goes on pushing you. Ability to receive the suffering as prasadam, poison as nectar, what you think as poison not the real poison what you think as poison. The ability to receive what you think as poison and stand with it is what I call tapas. A real Master will never let you rest in what you call as peace. What you call as peace is more tamas based, dullness based, depression based, dumbness based. That philosophy can be called as donkeyism. No 1000s of people follow that philosophy. Don’t think it is normal. Actually if you study well people who follow that philosophy is more than the people who follow any other philosophy. The problem with the donkeyism is, it is so beautifully labeled and wrappered you think you are following some other ism but you are following the donkeyism.
Real Master will go on be reminding you. Please understand I am all for the extraordinary experiences and powers you go through during the samyama process. But I wanted to remind you continuously, don’t stop there. Don’t get down there. Don’t create self sympathy, ‘Oh I have done this much for my background’. You will have your own mind drama, ‘See I am such an ordinary guy. I struggled so much and achieved the level where I can have one or two siddhis. It’s too much; enough’. This self sympathy creates tremendous fatigue, tiredness, idea of almost you are full. No! Fulfillment happens in a space where there is no mind to feel fulfillment. Peace happens in a space where there is no mind to feel the peace.
I tell you a basic rule law for the enlightenment. It is continuous expansion, continuous expansion. And I want all of you to know Patanjali or any Vedic tradition does not speak about enlightenment. Then what are we doing? It is Buddha’s contribution. Enlightenment idea itself is the contribution of the Buddha. I want you to be very clear; in Vedic tradition we don’t have goal of enlightenment. sravana manana nidhidhyasana; that’s all. Listening internalizing expressing; that’s all. Means what the expression goes on and on and on and on and on. There is no space where the board says you have arrived. No. It goes on and on and on. The mind which always wants, expects the board ‘you have arrived’ where it disappears, explodes - that spot can be called as enlightenment. That is what Buddha defines as enlightenment.
Enlightenment is not destination. It is part of destiny. It is not destination. It is part of destiny. Please understand part of destiny; not end of destiny. It is a continuous expansion. When I say continuous expansion - one corner of your mind says then will I never have rest, will I never be able to lie down? Yes you will be; wake the spot where this mind which has in one corner the rest; when that explodes. When that is beaten; the childishness which you carry in you should be broken. The first childish bio memory which always expects mother’s lap, which expects a cozy zone, which expects ‘can’t all this process be done without this glaring daring light on my face in a very loving way?’ No. No. Sunlight has to fall on your face without any window screen or sunshade. Only then you will wake up. It cannot be done if a sun ray comes through a window, through a sunshade, through a screen and mildly saying ‘oh my son please wake up it is 10.30 in the morning. Bhoobharam does not work. If you are a Vishnu in yoga shayana, yoga nidra, bhoobhala may work. But your tamas soaked in tamas no bhoobala can work; even earth quake is not working where is the question of Bhoobala.
The mind which asks for the peace should explode and disappear; should become piece, piece which can never be assembled again at all. I have seen in the young age the kids out of curiosity will pick up some alarm time piece, this that, try to dismantle and assemble. When they take it, it will be a perfect time piece running. When they finish it will be in a carry bag. There are some intelligent kids I have seen, they will make things so many ways the piece, piece, piece; it can never be assembled again. They only know how to dismantle it. After that they know…. they can’t assemble it. A very safe game they will play. They will throw everything all around and start crying. Why? Now naturally mother will not beat them. They will come and say oh I tried to assemble and I am not able to assemble. Everything is over. So you will have a sympathy wave.
A real Guru will never show you that sympathy. Your mind learns this habit that if you impose suffering on yourself the world will give you sympathy. It is one of the most collective delusion human being suffer from the beginning. That is why when kids don’t want to go to school Monday morning, they will pull the blanket. I am having stomach pain, headache. This stomach pain and head ache nobody can diagnose and hand pain also nobody can diagnose. It’s very easy. When you create suffering on yourself world gives you attention - is one of the worst delusion that makes you constantly feel asking for peace asking for settlement asking for moving away from life. Constantly again and again and again in your life, breaking that setup which asks for the retirement from life - that spot is enlightenment.
Suddenly if you remember oh God for last eight years I never thought about resting or backing off from what I am doing or the way I am moving. It means eight years before you became enlightened. That’s it. Be very clear the mind which asks for the rest, mind which reminds about the fatigue, mind which talks about tiredness, will disappear. In Vedic tradition the fear of backing out; because the seekers may back out, that fear, was the reason why the concept of enlightenment was never dealt or discussed in elaborate way. I want all of you to know, throughout the Upanishad all the 108 Upanishads nowhere you will find enlightenment is being discussed elaborately. No. The whole Brahma sutra; people may be shocked and surprised. Vedic tradition no enlightenment? That’s the truth because the concept of enlightenment is totally different in Vedic tradition.
In Vedic tradition there is no enlightenment….. enlightening. There is no enlightenment……… enlightening. There is only enlightening. Go on and on and on. At one point a complete disconnection of where you started happens. The personality with which you started explodes to pieces in a non assemblable way. It cannot be assembled anymore; dismantled once for all; permanently. The young age I have seen when the kids play. If one child dismantles he may be, it may be assemblable by a professional. There are some kids if they dismantle nobody can assemble it.
Same way the mind should be dismantled to the level it should never be assemblable even by the worst ignorance. Even by the worst Maya it should be non assemblable. Then you reached the point of enlightenment. The point where you experience enlightenment is a non return zone; that’s all. That does not mean you reached the destination. No. You crossed the non return zone; over. When I say many of my disciples have achieved enlightenment; they crossed the non return zone that’s it. There is no goal. Understand no goal is achieved. The non return zone is crossed. When the levitation happens when the siddhis express, non return zone is crossed.
Let me read the sutra once more. na cha tat salambana tasya avisayin bhutatvat; very beautiful sutra. It should be again read with the last sutra. Two things you need to understand from this sutra. First sacred secret, the sacred secret - the first sacred secret is by studying the angalakshanas; doing samyama on it. Finding out the mental structure of other person you will not know the karana - the source or reason why he created that structure, so you will not be able to go beyond certain limits. Maybe it is good to create good relationships in your life; that’s it. Not more than that. Not more than that.
32:1
Maybe you will understand in your life also why you created this mental setup but sometime just the why alone does not alone liberate you. Why liberates you to certain level. When you add if not, the why becomes wife. The liberation is not that easy. Why alone does not liberate especially when ‘if’ is added. Let me give you the example. Just by knowing ‘why’ the ignorance is, if it disappears, you are free. Great! But the mind sometimes raises the question why did I create this ignorance. If I’m not able to cross what will I do? No. The moment the ‘if’ comes, the ‘why’ loses its power. Why loses its power the moment ‘if’ comes.
First thing you need to understand the samyama on the angalakshanas, in tradition what we call samudrika lakshana. On the structure of a person and understanding the structure of the mind can help you only to a certain limit. Second, you need to find out……. understand, knowing the other person's mind, contents of the other person's mind happens in you as siddhi when you become more silent. Somebody asked me “Swamiji, how to find out what others are thinking?’ I told him “Fool first find out what you are thinking, you don't even know what you are thinking. Why are you running behind to know what others are thinking?” Most of us, no, all of us, we don't even know what we are thinking but we are too interested to know what others are thinking. Actually if you settle down and know what you are thinking you will know what others are thinking. Unfortunately many time you don't even know what you are thinking, just the actions are happening.
See there are three levels, in some level whatever practice you do, that brings punya, if you don't do its ok. In different level whatever practice you do if you break it, you are standing there, after 5 years if you start you will start from the same step. But there are some practices; if you break then again you have to start from zero. There are some practices if you break you will lose the confidence you can start again from zero, even from zero. See there are four levels of practice. One level, whatever you do you do you do, benefit, benefit, benefit, benefit, benefit, benefit, benefit; that’s all. There are another level if you go on be doing benefit, benefit, benefit if you stop or break, no problem. If you start again you will start from the same spot. That’s the second level practice. There are third level, if you stop its like abortion, you will get back to zero; if you break it. The fourth level not only you get back to zero, the confidence to start again is gone.
Master takes you to different levels of Sadhana, first he gives you the sadhana, if you do it great, good, if you don't, it’s ok no problem. Nithya dhyaan and all is that kind of practice. The next level, if you do it, great, great, great, great, if stop or break it, no problem you'll be standing there, you can start again when you start after five years; these are certain practices. But there are certain practices when you start and break, you just get back to zero. Now when a disciple does this kind of mistake, the fourth level practices which can straightaway take you in a high speed but if you stop or break, you will not only get back to zero, the confident to do the practice will go away. The fourth line instructions can never be given.
See these are different lines. Each one has their benefit and the first line has benefit, never you will have the anything wrong, but very slow, 12 years. By pulling the bullock cart you have to reach the moon, when will you reach? The second level, not much risk, same way dragging; the third level high speed but you need to be a committed - means full time seekers. The practices given to the full time seekers when they are broken they go back to zero. That is the reason these kind of practices are not given for the ordinary people who come just for the instruction. When you want to be a seeker, when you want to be a enlightened being or when you wan to be an extraordinary spiritual energy the responsibility you assume, Patanjali, he says very clearly, when this experiences are added even then you do not know the karana, hiranya garbha, from which the whole things comes out, from which the whole thing settles down.
So two sacred secret you need to understand from this sutra, one, knowing what is happening in others mind is not enough to solve the whole problem. Second, this kind of siddhis can be encouraging or impediments based on your reactions to it. When they happen, be aware. Let them be just encouragement for you not an impediment saying you have arrived, there is no ‘You have arrived’ board in the inner journey. There is only ‘non return zone’ boards. There is no you have arrived. So go on, go on, go on. Know clearly only the point where you can't remember the person who started, where you can't look back - you are enlightened. You are expected to reach a point where you can't remember the person who started; you can't remember the person who has started. That is what is the spot, space of enlightenment. That is the space of Jeevan Mukti.
I received many home works from yesterday. One very funny home work is “Sir Swamiji, I don’t even feel close to one person in my life. How will I be able to study fourteen persons?” Please understand at least study the fourteen people you know on the planet earth. Surely you cannot be living in the planet earth without knowing fourteen people; at least that fourteen study. This homework will really help you. Now in this sutra Patanjali reminds you about the siddhis. It can be encouraging or impediment. A sign board can be encouraging or sometime thinking that place has arrived if you get down from the, the place where the sign board is it can be impediment; pending. Please understand siddhis are sign boards. It can be encouraging or impediment. It is how you take it or how you respond to it, how you live it. You can use the sign for progress or false witness.
There is a beautiful story happened in Arunachala that Shiva happens as a deepa stamba jyoti stamba swayam prakasa jyoti stamba a self effulging light shaft. The Brahma and Vishnu seeks the head and feet. Brahma goes up, Vishnu goes down. Brahma sees a flower on the way. This guy should have used that as a mark which encourages him to further his journey. That flower is like a siddhi. He should know wow siddhi is coming. It means I am on the right track. I should further travel to reach Shiva. But this Brahma used this flower as a false witness to prove to Shiva that he reached. To whom he is proving what. From the time of Brahma I am seeing this drama. Come on give me a break do some new drama.
It’s like kids will do a same way of cheating to their parents. Parents know exactly where this fellow will steal the things and where he will hide. I have seen in my village the kids will escape from the school and go and hide in the temple. But the school watchman they know where the kids will be hiding. They will directly go and pick up the kids from that place and take them to school. Arey you are a child you don’t even know how to cheat. Just like Brahma did not have the intelligence the flower which is coming for his false witness itself is from Shiva’s head and Shiva knows where he kept. Let the mind know no false witness can lead to enlightenment. The problem with Brahma; you see Brahma means knowing or thinking that everything is word.
How a wealthy guy tries to show that he has achieved fulfillment in the life, the intellectuals will find some flower as a false witness. No it doesn’t work it doesn’t stand it doesn’t lead anywhere. So understand the life is for living. When you understand there is no enlightenment you will achieve enlightenment. When you understand there is no ‘you have arrived’ board in the inner journey, there is only non return zone, there can be only board saying ‘you are entering into a zone where you can’t return anymore’ that’s it. So understand this truth and live it. This is the sacred secret you need to imbibe from this sutra.
Tomorrow be here for the unique gift to receive one of the greatest gift eN meditation eN Dhyaan. Tomorrow Shivaratri day you will all have initiation into eN meditation eN M. The day consciousness exploded and created Big Bang which is beyond the wealth and knowledge is Shivaratri. Tomorrow we will be celebrating the Shivaratri here. So I request all the satsangis to gather all your friends and family and whoever you can. Let us have a great Shivaratri, the intense auspicious experience and the initiation into eN meditation.
I bless all of you who are sitting with us at this moment in 705 locations, in 250 cities, in 29 countries. Let you all achieve, live, experience, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss Nithaynanda.
Thank you.
Qualities of Shiva: Shiva Ratri Message 1 DATE: March 2rd 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 44:11
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees who are sitting with us around the world at this moment with us in 865 places, in 276 cities, in 30 countries. In two-way I am having 32 cities with us from nine countries. I am able to see Los Angeles; can you raise your hand? Yes, Los Angeles, San Jose, Seattle, Columbus Ohio, Phoenix, Houston, Dallas, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Oklahoma City, North Carolina, and Miami, Honolulu, Redondo Beach, Western Florida, Pullman, Madison Texas, Riverside, Maryland, Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Salem. First time today Salem is on-line. And France, Germany, Turkey, Birmingham England, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore. So, continuously more and more centers are joining. In Malaysia 600 people are offering guru mudi today and the whole day fasting is happening.
Before entering into today’s satsang, I wanted to remind all the devotees, please get back to Padmasana and samana mudra. Let’s create intense eNeffect.
Today we observe Shivaratri. We celebrate Shivaratri.
I’ll express few truths about Shiva - Mahadeva. On night again, we will have initiation into eN meditation which will be a unique powerful technique – meditation technique - for the modern day human beings.
Shiva – the very word means eternal auspiciousness; auspiciousness without any reason, with any cause. When something exists without any cause - reason, it is eternal. You need to understand, it is eternal. Even if you look at the extraordinary qualities of Mahadeva, when he sits in silence, he puts people into enlightenment - the eternal peace under the banyan tree as Dakshinamurti. When he decides to dance, he puts the whole world in bliss as Nataraja. When he decides to destroy, he destroys all negativity as Kalabhairava. When he decides to show compassion, he can take any poison and swallow it and save the world. He can sacrifice anything to any limit. There is no limit for his sacrifice. When he decides to destroy, he will destroy even death, Yama. When he decides to save, he will save from any problem - even sacrificing his very life. Of course, his life can never be taken away. That’s different; ready to go to any extreme for the sacrifice to save others. How he swallowed the allahalla poison to save the world, risking himself, his own body.
The grandeur with which he expresses, with which he expresses, the experience he showers on people, who even remember him. Just by remembrance, Sadashiva, the ultimate guru, the ultimate yogi, ultimate king, Ishwara-the ultimate leader, the ultimate bliss, the ultimate compassion, ultimate life - with all these qualities, he’s not too far away, very easy to approach. Easily approachable - asudosha - easily pleased. Nothing much is required to please him. That is why in Sanskrit we have a word, sorry, not in Sanskrit - in Hindi in North Bharat ‘bholebaba’ – easily pleased. In Sanskrit we have a word ‘asudosha’.
Today is celebrated as the festival, celebration of Shiva appearing, the cosmic consciousness appearing as eternal light shaft, conscious shaft, as Arunachala, to give the opportunity for Brahma and Vishnu to search and find out head and feet of Shiva. Today is the day the intense cosmic auspiciousness radiates. Intense cosmic energy radiates.
Shiva, Mahadeva; The extraordinary experience and the extraordinary being which is beyond our physical plane enters into the physical plane as the Master in the body for people to experience the eternal auspiciousness in the body. All the auspicious qualities in the body, so that the auspicious qualities are not just faith or belief, they are experienced as life. He is not an ordinary snake charmer. He is the charmer of the kundalini snake. He can play with the kundalini snake which resides in every being.
Shiva is too big subject to be spoken, too big subject even to be remembered. He is a subject where you need to jump in and disappear. Just disappear forever; never to come back. Just by the remembrance, disappearing into him, is the one and only respect we can pay him. Namaha! Not me, not mine. Today is the day we are supposed to constantly dive into the great auspicious qualities of Mahadeva, Shiva.
I’ll just give you few qualities of Shiva. Remember and do smarana. Meditate on these qualities today whole day. He is the energy which burned the Manmatha - fantasy - before marriage. See the fun? He burns the Manmatha, destroys Manmatha then gets married to Devi. Means first gets enlightened, establishes himself, then has Devi. Mmm? He’s a being beyond fantasy; established in the truth.
Second, not only fearless, even fear fears about him. Kala is afraid to go near; being never touched by time.
Third thing; tripura, tripurasura, represents ‘three confusions’. Anava kanda maya. Three kinds of worries; Worries related to past, related to future and the possibility of present; understand? There cannot be any worry about… please understand there cannot be any worry in the present but there can always be worry about the present. So, in present you cannot have worry but about present you can always have worries. So the tripurasuras, Shiva has burnt all the tripurasuras.
He is beyond the worries and a being, Shiva is a being established in love, constantly sharing it. That is why you cannot say that Shiva is a dry sanyasi, no! See the whole family around him. He is an amazing being. If you see the fun, you can’t classify him as a householder grihasta, because he is the adinatha founder of the greatest sanyaya sampradaya. And you cannot just say he’s just a dry sanyasi, no. Devi is there and baby elephant is there and Subramanya is there and the whole parivara is there. So you cannot say he’s a dry sanyasi.
You can’t classify, he’s just beyond the imagination. You can neither say he is male nor say he is female. Ardhanarishwara. By his extraordinary love and giving nature, he has given his very being off to Devi – eternal giver and expression of unique energy. You can’t compare him with anything. Gathers all the useless things and makes them productive. He’s not Vishnu picking up best things: Shamantaka. Parijatha. Kamadhenu. Miss universe Lakshmi, Kubera, Sanganidhi. Padumanidhi. Vishnu picks up all best things and rests in the ocean. But Shiva, all bhoota, preta, pishacha, rishi, gana, muni, kinnara, kimburuda, gandharva, yaksha.
Kailash must be the craziest commune on the Planet Earth. Now I know. And you can have the exact taste of Kailash without one inch less here! All types of beings, all types of people, each one! I can see very clearly how Kailash would have looked. One side all the sanyasis, one side all the rishis, one side the devotees, one side the great Indras – means wealthy people waiting to have darshan, other side Kubera.
Mahadeva is uncomparable, unique energy, and beyond ego - just a simple innocent being - Asudosha above all the eternal bliss, eternal fulfillment.
Remember these seven qualities of Mahadeva. I have connected the seven chakras qualities.
Fantasy-less being.
Being beyond fear.
Being beyond worries.
Being who goes on sharing giving, giving, giving.
Being who is unique.
Being who is so simple - easily available.
Being in eternal fulfillment - Nithyananda.
Remember these great seven qualities because Shiva is filled with ananda kalyana guna - thousands and thousands of auspicious qualities. If I tell you, remember all of the thousands of auspicious qualities you will not be, you’ll just sleep off doze off. No.
So I’m picking up seven qualities. Today don’t eat anything, any solid food, for next 24 hours. You can drink bail juice – bilva juice. Or eat few leaves of bilva or you can drink coconut water. If you don’t get bilva juice, drink coconut water. Whole day - either bail juice or coconut water, these two. Except these two, don’t take anything. And meditate on all these seven qualities. Understand I want you to know one important thing. Shiva who is radiating these seven qualities is inside you, your own personality. Understand? Whatever idea you have about you, that personality carries these seven qualities. So meditate, remember that personality can express these seven qualities. Today, whole day, remember and meditate on these seven qualities which is inside you in the form of Shiva. Meditate on this seven qualities whole day. Today stop all worldly work. Say, today I’m going to dedicate towards my inner self – no outer world work. Whole day I’ll remember only - I will only contemplate on the seven qualities.
Remember, the eternal auspiciousness. Means the very life you are having is auspicious. Remember that very life which is auspicious. And go on be repeating the mahamantra, the technique for Mahadeva the great mantra – the sacred sound. Om Namah Shivaya! Om Namah Shivaya! Om Namah Shivaya! Go on be repeating that sacred sound with the remembrance of the qualities, understand? Just repeating word is not enough. Remember those great qualities of Shiva. Om Namah Shivaya. Om Namah Shivaya. Om Namah Shivaya. Mahadeva’s eternal auspicious qualities. Prepare yourself for the explosion of kundalini tonight.
I tell you today is the highest possibility happens in time for awakening the kundalini. Master’s presence is highest possibility in space for kundalini awakening, understand? Master’s presence is the highest possible space for kundalini awakening. Shivaratri is the highest possible time for kundalini awakening. So today you will have both! Time and space. Don’t miss today. Don’t miss today. Prepare yourself for the highest kundalini awakening.
These three instructions will prepare you. One, drink bail juice or coconut water whole day, don’t eat or drink anything else. Second, remember the auspicious qualities of Shiva Mahadeva, as I described the seven qualities and again and again repeat the sacred sound ‘Namah Shivaya’ inside you. Third, be here tonight for kundalini awakening to have initiation into eNmeditation – eN-M. We were planning tonight for the eN-M. We’ll be creating the eNeffect in 1008 places. Now, originally we planned 108 then we increased it to 1008 now we have already crossed 922 places. At this moment, in 922 places, 296 cities, in 31 countries people are sitting with us!
Please understand, all our temples, ashrams, satsang centers all over the world, please celebrate Shivaratri as today itself. And from now, all of our temples, ashrams all over the world will follow the timings and celebrations exactly as it is happening in Bidadi. Now as we have the videoconferencing facilities, you also do all of pujas, abhishekams as it is being done in Bidadi. Tonight when I do abhishekam to Anandeshwara in Bidadi, I want all the pujaris to do abhishekam in all our temples to the Shiva lingas. So prepare yourself and if you are in a place where you don’t have our own temple, at least have a small Shiva linga or my paduka. Tonight and we will have the Shivaratri celebrations. Soon, build our own temple in your city.
Today we observe another one important thing - day to destroy collective negativity. Nothing could be done. Nothing can be done to Shiva!
36.57
I’ll initiate all of you into the intense kundalini experience now. Keep this experience alive in you, continuously, today, whole day, so that in the night during the eNmeditation initiation and the eNeffect session you can explode like Shiva and stand as a light shaft – the cosmic light beam.
Close your eyes, sit in padmasama, samana mudra and strongly feel connected to the Master or just unclutch. Any one is OK. Relax. Let the intense kundalini experience start in all of you! Let the kundalini energy intensely be awakened. Let it move from muladhara to the sahasrara crown center intensely. Have this intense energy in you whole day. Again, again and again repeat in your inner space the maha moola mantra - Om Nama Shivaya. Prepare yourself for the initiation into eNmeditation, eNdhyaan.
So today, three things - drink only bail juice or coconut water or water is also OK; just on liquid diet. Don’t take any solid food - first instruction. Second, remember all the great auspicious qualities of Shiva who is in your inner space, who is your possibility, who is your own self and repeat the Shiva’s mantra, Namah Shivaya. And third, be here for the evening initiation eNmeditation. Today whole day, we’re having pujas, programs, meditation. Whole thing will be live available in eN-TV. Be part of the celebration and all our temples will have two–way video conferencing. Today, whole night we will have program.
Tomorrow again we have an important program jivan mukti jayanti; March 2nd after destroying all the collective negativity, March 3rd we release jivan mukti to the world! And so, tomorrow we will celebrate jivan mukti jayanti. From tomorrow, we will share jivan mukti book in the book form, in the e-copy – the soft copy form through internet to all over the world for next one full month - full March month. We will share this to the world free of cost. I request and recommend all the centers to procure as many copies as possible through the internet or the hardcopy and distribute, inspire create as many jivan muktas as possible. Let us share enlightenment.
I bless all of you who are sitting with us at this moment in 947 location, in 306 cities, in 31 countries. I bless all of you to achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda.
Thank you.
Putting The Invisibility Cloak on – The Yoga Way DATE: March 4th 2011
LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram
START TIME:
DURATION: 34:21
Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam.
I welcome you all with my love and respects. See basically I am a village boy who is born and brought up in a temple based village; means the whole village functions based on the temple. They wake up morning listening to the temple bell and when I was living in that village... now only it has become little small town or town. In those days it was a village only. When I was living we will know that it has become evening by listening to the Devaaram songs from the temple. If we know the songs, they will have that old traditional type loud speakers. Almost to the whole village it will scream.
And that evening that old man will come and sit. One brass taalam it is called in Tamil taalam; a small two brass plates with which they will hit and make a sound. And he will start singing; neither swara nor raga nor taala; nothing will be there and he is the only guy; poor guy no other work. He will come and sit and start pitta ......... If I remember even now I can remember the whole tone, tune, everything. talaima........... Then we know it has become evening six O' clock. Now it is evening 6 O' clock. And we wake up listening to the temple bell. We retire from the day listening to the temple songs. We go to bed after the deity leaves our house. Almost every night the deity will come in procession.
The whole village functions on temple. So in 365 days at least 300 days the deity will come out in procession for some festival. So when the deity leaves our house we will close the door and go to bed. So after all I am a village boy. So still that feeling, seeing a deity is sacred. Seeing a temple is sacred. That is there in the being.
Actually I myself loved that and left it without erasing even after enlightenment. After enlightenment I myself left few things. Ehh let it be there, it is so sweet. After enlightenment you are given the freedom to erase anything you want, add anything you want, alter anything as you want. So there are some things I myself left it. Even now I have the freedom to remove but I myself left it. The few things I left it is the feeling sacred when you see a temple or a deity.
So actually when a screen opens how much you are excited to see me I am also excited to see ten temples at a time. I feel oh I have darshan of ten temples. And everybody knows it is me who put the energy into the deities. I created the deity, transported it, put the energy, installed it and created devotees to worship it. Every inch of it is my life. Whether the carpet on the ground or the ceiling on the roof or the deities between the carpet and ceiling or the people who are sitting and worshipping between the carpet and ceiling or the vessels; I know everything is directly my work. But that feeling sacred, "Wow! I am having darshan of so many temples”. It is there still. And it is so sweet I can say I wait to come and sit here and start the satsang. Wow I am going to see so many temples. So it is so nice to see the whole screen filled with so many temples. I feel at least for this joy I will go on be creating temples.
I tell all our devotees, disciples, samajis, satsangis; don’t live in a village where there is no temple. No! By law make it as your lifestyle. Don’t live in a temple where there is....don’t live in a village where there is no temple. If you don’t have temple in your village at least create one in your house. So don’t, it is something too sacred. I can say if you just allow this temple in your life, the whole thing, all spiritual dimensions will start opening up.
Now, last four years Dhyanapeetam has set a trend and I tell you I am very happy that we are setting a trend. People are still interested in Hinduism. People are interested in the temple tradition. We can inspire them using the sacred arts. I really feel we should have a big warehouse in US, have enough deities and distribute free of cost to anybody who wants to start a temple. I will make this into reality within two years you will see. Do you want to start a Hindu temple? Deities are free; take it. Two years is too much time. I will see that within a year it is done.
So in as many places as possible the Vedic tradition becomes alive, so that I can sit and see 200 temples every day, Kshetras, 5 temples in US, then I added 12 jyothirlingas. Then I thought 54 shakti peethas. Now I decided 100 and vaishnava sthalas also we will add; hundred and eight. Let’s go on. Actually everyday I wait and see whether these guys changed the clothes of the deity, whether they have done some new decoration, whether they are doing anything new; I everyday see.
So all the other cities, work quick and create the temple. Start the work for temple. Houston is still waiting and Redondo Beach is waiting. Of course good news we have is Toronto got the place just yesterday. Yesterday they confirmed the place and deities are moving from LA to Toronto and already we have so many deities in US and still New York has to go for temple. New York has to start.
Lets enter into today’s satsang. As you all may be aware in the morning I am working on Yoga sutras. In the evenings, satsangs are happening on Brahma sutras. For a long time I wanted to speak on Brahma Sutras because no modern day Master has spoken on Brahma Sutras. So first time in English, I can say first time ever in English a modern day Master is expanding and expressing on Brahma sutras. It is not only expanding, it is a great happening.
Yesterday when I gave the introduction to Brahma sutras, almost all literatures, I shook everybody else. I was about to shake completely Patanjali yoga sutra. Then I remembered no! Tomorrow morning I have to speak on him. So I just spared Patanjali. At least if there is one week gap, one week on Brahma sutra and then one week on yoga sutra then I would have shaked at Patanjali. I thought no, no, no too close! Within 12 hours I have to start! So I cannot patch up with Patanjali within 12 hours. I need to spare Patanjali. So I spared him!
But I can say this 21 days is going to be something unique; because you are listening Yoga and Vedanta from a guy whose very life is yoga and vedanta. You are listening to yoga vedanta from the very source. My bone marrows and blood will sing yogavedanta. Yoga and vedanta is just my very juice. So I really feel you guys are so fortunate. Not only that... I am also fortunate because I am also siting and enjoying. As I said yesterday, let’s see how Saraswati translates. I can see very clerly that extraordinary intelligence expressing.
Let’s enter into todays satsang Patanjalis yoga sutras 127th sutra in the 3rd chapter 21st verse ‘The Art of Becoming Invisible’ subject is ‘Art of Becoming Invisible’. Patanjali speaks on one of the great siddhis, extraordinary power expressed through the super consciousness.
kaya rupa samyama tat grahya shakti stambhe chaksuh prakasha samprayoge antardhanam
Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as: through the practice of samyama on the form of the body, the power of perceiving forms being obstructed and the power of manifestation in the eye being separated from the form, the yogi’s body becomes unseen.
Swami Prabhavananda translates this sutra as: if one makes samyama on the form of one’s body, obstructing its perceptibility and separating its power of manifestation from the eyes of the beholder, then one’s body becomes invisible.
Bhagwan Osho translates as: through samyama the image occupying another’s mind can be known. But perception through samyama does not bring knowledge of the mental factors that support the image in another’s mind. By performing samyama on the form of the body and suspend receptive power, the contact between the eye of an observer and the light from the body is broken and the body becomes invisibble.
Swami Sachidananda translates as: by samyama on the form of ones body checking the power of perception by intercepting light from the eyes of the observer the body becomes invisible.
This sutra is the technique for one of the great siddhi – disappearing; becoming invisible. Disappearing is not the exact translation I can say. The right translation is becoming invisible. All right before logically I analyse, think or feel how I am going to prove, I am making a word now; commitment. End of this session at least few hundred of you will see that I have become invisible. Come on now I am going to play the game. Let me teach the samyama. I have decided I will make it as a practical session. At least the ones, who are experiencing kundalini awakening will, suddenly will feel that empty throne is talking. Come on let me see. It’s time to show the yoga siddhis.
Sit in padmasana; see through the third eye. Bring your awareness to third eye. See through the third eye. Let me expand on the sutra. The sutra says very beautifully - doing samyama on one’s own body, do samyama on your body. Stop the vibrations your body is creating in the space which reaches the other persons eyes, which perceives this form as a form so that your form becomes invisible to the person who is seeing. Understand it is not that you disappear. For example if you put your hand here, it will hit. It will feel the body but your eyes cannot see it.
See with wide open eyes, really wide open and see through the third eye. Because now I am stopping; I am stopping the signals my body creates in the space and your eyes - instrument which perceives signals; I am separating the perception and your eyes in your eyes. So it’s actually two process. One stopping the vibes created in the space by my body, separating the power of perception from your eyes.
This becoming invisible is one of the oldest fantasy. I can say the yogis and siddhas were trying for ages and successfully acheived fulfillment in the experiment and created a technology for everybody to experiment and experience. It takes time when you practice on your own. But now I am initiating you and not only that I am doing this to inspire you to have more shraddha, trust on the yogic taditionn. And I wanted all of you to understand how this happens. Just bring your awareness to third eye so that the perception and the tool which percieves this two is slowly separated. And another one thing, this samyama not only brings the extraordinary power of becoming invisible, this samyama teaches you a great truth - what you see is not reality.
I can see very clearly the vibrations which are being sent in the space because of my body’s existence is settling, slowing down and in the many eyes that perception and perceiver is geting separated. Let time pass, you will see one by one, one by one, slowly people will start feeling wow! Empty throne is talking.
Let’s continue. You having the extraordinary power of how to become invisible to ordinary eyes; second you understanding, realising whatever is seen or shown are not reality. If you are seeing something or you are seen by somebody, both are not reality. This two understanding is the sacred secrets you need to know from this sutra.
The technique you need to know from this sutra is bring your awareness to the eyes. With a deep restful awareness see how the scenes are perceived by the seer; how your eyes perceive the scenes. Just bring your awareness to your eyes. See how the ‘seen’ is perceived by your eyes - ‘seer’.
I can see already few people that perception and the eyes are broken. Anybody who sees, the moment you see the empty throne talking, raise your hand. Because I can see, especially in the people who are sitting outside, around the world, the moment you see empty throne, the person is not there, no body is there on the throne, raise your hand. Then I can know how many coconuts are breaking.
See when you do it on your own it is a very difficult process. You need to practice for at least 2-3 years and the commentators and sutras, Patanjali sutras say each samyama has to be practiced for 12years. But now because I am initiating, you don’t need to do for so many days. And I have taken a big risk today of promising you instant result. All right it’s ok. I can do it, we can do it, you can do it!
I wanted all of you to know these samyamas are not jokes or some old mythological fantasy theories. No. They are vey solid truths. Just yesterday I was doing some research in the net. I saw already few American Universities have proved the light created by the object can be obstructed before it reaches the perceivers eyes, without any object between the perceiver and the object. By some unique deflection methods they intervene and without any object between the person and the perceiver it can be deflected. So the perceiver will not be seeing the person.
Many people used to tell me in the Ajna meditation. Since those days ajna sessions I myself used to sit and asking people to stare through their third eye to my third eye. Many people will report ‘Swamiji I am seeing empty throne. You are not there. I am afraid, where are you?’ I tell them no, my body is there. But when you move your energy and attention to the third eye, you start seeing the real me which doesnot create any vibrations or signals in the space. Only this body creates vibrations and signals in the space. I don’t create any vibration or signal in the space which can reach your eyes. I am me. When you don’t have any samskara inside you you will become so subtle, you will not create any vibration even in the space in the air.
God! Just feel in the third eye how whatever is seen is experienced in third eye, how scenes are reaching you, signals are reaching you and how it is being perceived; just see that, feel that. Try, today whole day try this samyama; just feeling in your third eye how the scenes are perceived by you, seen and the perception; separate this two action.
I bless you all. You will be successful. Dont be pessimistic or feeling sad that you cannot be or it won’t work with you. No. It works. Try; it really works. I am not lying; it works. It worked in my life. I have seen it. I have seen that invisibility happens and this is the process. Try; it will surely work. It will give you confidence on yoga sutras and the great realisation - what is being seen is not reality. Perception is not reality.
So I bless all of you. Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda.
Thank you.

# Krishna consciousness
0.25
I have opened a huge subject. Anyhow I have to start somewhere. One of the important thing I can still, I am not able to comprehend the Krishna’s aspect. One of the important aspect of krishna still which I am not able to comprehend is his amazing romance. Understand, I can say the ultimate compassion, expression of ultimate compassion is his romance. Because I know, see the moment you reach that kind of an highest state, anybody you see will only, you will have only compassion. The romance can never happen. You see for romance to happen you need to feel equal, you need to feel equal . Only then romance can happen.
1.36
I tell you from my experience anybody whom I see, the moment I see, I see the whole thing. So it’s always like a compassion. Just today I got one letter, very sincere advice that Swamiji you should get married and that letter says, you may like somebody of your age, I think you should get married. You dont understand, there is no, the romance can never happen because there is nobody with whom I can feel equal. The moment I see that person I see the whole problem, the whole thing which is in the person. So at the most I can have only compassion. The romance can never happen. That’s why there is no romance. There is no romance in my inner space. Anybody I see it is only compassion because the moment I see, I see the whole picture; how that being is and all that. There is no romance.
2.46
One of the strong thing still I am not able to comprehend in Krishna’s life is, his compassion was so great, he came down, not only he was able to make the gopikas feel they are equal to him he felt he is equal to them. I can say, that is the ultimate sacrifice. He was able to have the real romance means, he has completely covered himself, he has covered even his compassion or judging. See that’s a last thing which can never be covered which can never be covered; just seeing, seeing the person as it is; that’s a most difficult thing which can be covered. I think all of you understand what I am saying, but the Krishna’s greatness, still I am not able to comprehend how he was able to cover that dimension. Understand, Krishna didnot just show romance, he had romance, he had romance. In my case I know very clearly I am showing, I am showing. The being itself doesnot have romance; it’s a pure light. Still I am not able to comprehend how he was able to settle down with the bio memory or the muscle memories, where he was radiating romance. I can say, one of the ultimate settling into the body.

See there are levels of settling into the body, defines the finest expression of an incarnationhood. Understand, the experience wise Krishna, Buddha, Rama or Shiva, Me, whatever, Ramakrishna, all experience wise same; no difference. The expression differs, how the expression differs, the ability to settle down with your muscle memory, the ability to settle down with your muscle memory. I can say he is one of the ultimate settling down in the muscle memory; the most colourful incarnation; most colourful incarnation.

Whatever points were used to direspect and abuse Krishna all those points were only his greatness. Usually his Raas was always disrespected and abused, but these idiots donot know how much it takes to land on the body. If you understand this one truth that to be in romance you need to feel equal to people, it is not a easy joke; from that consciousness, feeling equal to people. You can show, you can show. Even I am managing many time for people to feel that I am equal to them but I myself feeling was a big job.

So the person who wrote the question, understand, if I really had romance I wouldn’t have bothered to get married because I didnot take sanyas to be seated in anybody’s throne or any organisation, the whole thing is I created, this whole thing is my creation and I am not bound by any social rule as a Paramahamsa. Even the sanyas rule doesnot bind to Paramahamsa. See we don’t carry the danda. The person who broke danda and drops it, he doesnot even carry the rules of sanyas. So I am not even supposed to wear these cloth. Technically I am not supposed to wear this orange. I am wearing it for maintainance. That’s all, nothing else. Otherwise the Paramahamsa is not even bound dharmically or socially by any rule. It is not any rule; but having the romance, is the ultimate landing. I can say that Krishna is the ultimate landing.
