Qualities of Shiva: Shiva Ratri Message 1

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 the 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. And 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 halahala 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 - ashutosha - 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 ‘ashutosha’.

Today is celebrated as the festival, celebration of Shiva appearing, the cosmic consciousness appearing as a eternal light shaft, conscious shaft, as Arunachala, to give the opportunity for Brahma and Vishnu to search and find out the 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 burnt 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. 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 kanma [karma] 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 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 sanyasa 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 half to Devi – eternal giver and expression of unique energy. You can’t compare him with anything. Gathers all useless things and makes them productive. He’s not Vishnu picking up best things: Shamantaka, Parijatha, Kamadhenu, Miss Universe Lakshmi, Kubera, Sanganidhi. Padmanidhi. 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 - Ashutosha, 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 bael 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 bael 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 bael 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 eN-meditation – 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 in 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 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 video conferencing facilities, you also do all the pujas, abhishekams as it is being done in Bidadi. Tonight when I do abhishekam to Anandeshwara in Bidadi, I want all the pujaris to be doing 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!

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 eN-meditation 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 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 Namah Shivaya. Prepare yourself for the initiation into eN-meditation, eN-dhyaan.

So today, three things - drink only bael juice or coconut water or water is also okay; 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 eN-meditation. Today whole day, we are 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 internet or the hardcopy and distribute, inspire, create as many jivanmuktas 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.
