Nithyananda Annalaya And Being an Ashramite

I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees, disciples, samajis, satsangis, ashramites sitting with us around the world at this moment in 622 places through eN TV and 18 places through two way connection in 169 cities in 27 countries. The cities two way connection having nayana deeksha Seattle, Ohio, Los Angeles, San Hose, New York, Vancouver, Toronto, New Jersey, Redondo Beach, Hyderabad city center, Annanagar, Taramangalam, Singapore. I welcome all of you with my love and respects.

As I announced earlier today is World Labors day, Ramkrishna Mission’s inauguration foundation day and Nithyananda Sangha foundation day, ashramites day. Till Amma and Aiyya came to the ashram Nithyananda was there but Nithyananda Sangha started happening only after the two of them came to the ashram because sangha means at least two three people should be there. You cannot start a…. how in Tamil Nadu many political parties are there; only the president is ... President, secretary, treasurer everybody is either the same person or from the same family. You cannot run like a political party, same person. Sangha needs at least few people.

I think it’s a nice coincidence today is the world Labors day because we are the labors. And I have some more announcement. Sattvic food fair exhibition is organized in Kulim Malaysia. 2000 people are attending; organized by our Malaysia Nithyananda Dyanapeetam; Blessings to Ma Nithya Nirantarananda and Rishi Nithya Nirantarananda who are organizing this event. Today morning 8 AM to 7PM it is happening. My blessings! It will be successful. Vedic rishis always reached out to common mass through food. No really. See all our main temples will be associated with one sweet one prasadam. Food is the very easy way to inspire people. Along with the food that positive energy is sent.

Ramakrishna whenever devotees come and complain their spouses are not coming to Ramakrishna; people come and complain to me. Same thing even in those days…. my husband is not allowing me to come to see you. My wife is not allowing me to come to see you. All he will do is, he will just take a betel nut and rotate in the hand two three times and give to them ‘Go and give this to him. Let him eat’ that’s all. He will be there in two days to touch his feet. She will be there in two days to touch his feet, to have his darshan. So food is a very easy way to send the positive energy.

Our Vedic tradition used this as a technique. All major temples you will see there will be some food associated. Kashi mithai, Tirupathy laddu, Palani panchamrutam; all major temples will have some prasadam where people receive that energy through food. So we will make this sattvic food fairs as our energy vehicle to spread the energy through food to the whole universe. ......... serving I think all our ashrams, temples, centers, once they ………..... do this kind of initiatives sattvic vegetarian food, prasadam, through annalaya. Sharing food is one of our major important thing in Vedic tradition. There’s a Upanishad the Vedic mantra annam bahukurveeta means let us grow huge quantity and share; annam bahukurveeta. This should be the vision statement.

All our temples, ashrams, communities should grow food in energy fields without artificial fertilizers or chemicals, using the natural methods, in organic way and should prepare the food properly; either by cooking or half cooking or raw preparation by cleaning cutting and offering to the divine deities and Master and share with the world as much as possible without expecting anything in return. Please understand this should be the mission statement for Nithyananda Annalaya. We will do this as long as people are having hunger. As long as hungry people are there on planet earth, so long we will do this mission. Understand so all our temples, ashrams, communities should keep this as lifestyle. Even our devotees should have this as a lifestyle. Whoever comes to the house have this as a lifestyle; sharing food.

Thirumoolar great master says very beautifully; he is the first natha yogi of South Bharat. All the Matsyendranatha, Gorakhnatha, all of them are…… all of them lived in North Bharat. First natha yogi from ...Nandinatha sampradaya. See Adinatha is Shiva. The first disciple of natha sampradaya is nandi natha swami means nandi, Nandeeshwara, Nandinatha swamy. From Nandinatha paramapara starts. One natha sampradaya sanyasi yogi came to south and entered into the Thirumoolars body and Moolar very clearly says Yaarukumn..............whoever is there around you when you eat at least hand full of food should be shared. Still I maintain that habit. Even in the car when you go, when this brahmacharis give me snack I tell them ‘ehh first give for all of them little bit only then I will eat’. If you don’t give for others and eat by yourself you may have stomach pain. These are all small things taught in the young age but still I maintain that. So all our devotees, disciples should have this as habit. Before eating you should look around whoever is there around you. You should ensure that they already had their food or you share with them.

And this concept of Annalaya ………...should be one of our important mission. We should create at least 10000 Annalaya by 12/12/12. Start in as many places as possible these sattvic food fair exhibitions. At least this five item should be there as a part of what you serve. One Tirupathi laddu at least little bit. You can make on your own and offer. Palani panchamrutam, Puri Jagannatha’s rice - maha prasadam. Whatever food is offered to the Jagannatha they dry it. That rice is dried in the sun and that is given as the maha prasada; Jagannatha’s maha prasada and Kashi mithai and Vibhooti prasadam from Arunachalesgwara. This five we will keep it as a compulsory when you conduct Annalayas. All this five are available mass. When you share all this five we ensure that the Vedic tradition is told.

See when you give all this five in small cup naturally they will ask what is this. Then naturally you are taught about all these things. This is prasadam from Tirupathy, this is from Palani, this is from Puri Jagannatha, this is from Vishwanatha and this is from Arunachaleshwara; the tradition of sharing food will be kept alive with ........... of tradition. All our ashram should encourage more and more……………. means where 1000s of items are offered to the deity or guru and served to the devotees and the world and all our temples and ashrams should start as early as possible Anna mandir Annalayas. Even if you are not able to start the temple, first start the Annalayas; means where you cook and serve people. Whoever comes to satsangs should be fed food in the name of Sharada Devi and Annapoorani. We should start this habit of Annalaya sattvic food fair all over the world.

And today I am announcing, I am giving 25 lakh to Tiruvannamalai as a permanent fund first time. It’s a fixed deposit fund for continuous free feed all sadhus. Please understand as on now whoever comes to Tiruvannamalai ashram we are feeding. Per day average 1200 people get food. Apart from that we are starting a new service. We are taking the food to the Tiruvannamalai temple. Outside temple many sadhus sit. For all of them we are going to serve from this May 17th onwards. May 17th is my enlightenment day anniversary. We are going to celebrate first experience day anniversary. I will be going to Tiruvannamalai on that day. We have the mass dhyana satsang; 16th and 17th two day festival in Tiruvannamalai. From 16th onwards, 16th night, we are starting, serving not only in the ashram, outside the Tiruvannamalai temple we may be feeding 1000 more people in Tiruvannamali temple; 1200 in Tiruvannamalai ashram our ashram, 1000 people in Tiruvannamalai temple, which is our temple. 1000 people in the temple and 1200 people in the ashram.

I wanted this annam bahukurveeta should be revived, revived. We should take up this as a mission. This modern day service organizations; not service organizations, business organizations who are hiding in the name of service organizations go on saying no, no if you give fish to a person you will only satisfy one hunger of the day. If you teach him how to fish you will satisfy his hunger forever. So let us give them education. Why don’t you give it freely? In the name of education first they do business. Secondly…… all right after the education are you able to ensure is everybody get his fish forever? No! Just hiding behind some intelligent proverb and doing business. See somehow you don’t want to give food which is a direct expense but if you hide yourself behind this proverb ‘No, no let us give education’. Then naturally you can make that as a business. Instead of giving fish let us teach them how to fish. All right you will teach them how to fish. It is not that all the fellows who learnt how to fish, when they go and sit near a lake and put the needle they get the fish. There are many people who knows how to fish but don’t get fish. What to do about it?

So I am creating new proverb. Give them fish till they catch their own fish. Don’t escape from that foolish proverb which says no, no, no instead of giving them fish teach them how to fish. It is not instead; do both. Teach them how to fish, but till they learn and able to catch their own, give them. So Annalaya should…. Annalaya is like emergency room. You cannot talk philosophy when somebody comes after a snake bite. ‘No, no my son, understand poison does not affect you if your mind is strong. Come on sit and do samyama on where that poison is happening in your body and tell the poison becomes nectar’. Foolishness! First do emergency. Then teach him all your samyama, how to convert poison into nectar.

Same way, hunger is emergency. Don’t talk philosophy ‘we will teach you, give you the education, you will become MBA graduate, then you will get a job and then after the first month of work you will get salary, then your hunger will become all right’. Till then how you will be alive? So you will get the salary for your dead body? I strongly criticize all these so called social and spiritual service organizations who are hiding in the name of spiritual and social service organizations, who do all other service but don’t share the food. It is business in the name of service.

I tell you the first step for any spiritual social service organization - share food. Annam bahukurveeta. I am not saying don’t give education don’t give medical care. That and all is secondary; food is emergency, food is emergency. annam bahukurveeta... Let’s revive culture of sharing the food all over the world. Whenever you share food, understand I am there eating the food which you are offering. Any money you give for sharing food, Annalaya, understand that directly goes to my service. Directly, you are directly serving me because sharing food is the greatest value. Even your gnana daan sharing enlightenment and all when, when that fellow is alive! You can’t go and teach please learn the Brahma sutra when that fellow is hungry, empty stomach. All your brahma sathya jagat mithya everything is..............after eating not with the empty stomach.

My blessings to this sattvic food fair exhibition, my blessings to all the devotees who are sharing food. Yesterday one devotee gave me a letter, today she is sponsoring for Annalaya. Forgot her name where is she? My blessings Ma, my blessings! You will lose weight and you will become healthy! Your whole family will be healthy. When you share food you will have health. Understand it is my special blessing. Out of my discretion power I create this as a rule for this modern age, kali yuga. WHOEVER SHARES FOOD WILL HAVE HEALTH. I am responsible for that. The energy which expresses through this body will take the responsibility of the health of the people whoever shares food. I am not saying you should share only in my name. Even if you share…. you don’t need to share only in my name. Our devotees, disciples share in my name, in the name of Nithyananda Annalaya. You have your own name or you don’t even have to have name. Just start sharing. Sharing food is the highest value; highest value.

So my blessings to all the people who are sharing food Blessings to Malaysia Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam for this great service of sharing food and I encourage all devotees, disciples, ashramites to do this sharing food as many times as possible. Almost all the temples are running…… I know all our temples have a Annalaya where they share food. All of you please have this as a vision statement, put it in your Annalaya. Use the name Annalaya not Anna Mandir. Earlier we were using the name Anna Mandir now change it to Annalaya because I am going to use all this Vidyalaya, Annalaya, Vaidyalaya, Dhyanalaya.

We will have all this as a common name gnanalaya; library we will call it as gnanalaya. Meditation center will be called as Dhyanalaya and Anna mandir will be called as means where we will serve food will be called as Annalaya. Where we share medical care, that is, with our medicines or any other medical camps or medicines that will be called as vaidyalaya. Where we share education for the mundane life and spiritual life it will be called vidyalaya. So if you have quarters for me whenever I come for staying it will be called as Anandalaya.

To all temples use the name Annalaya. This should be the vision statement. Vision statement should be annam brahmeti navyajanat. The mission statement should be annam bahu kurveeta. Vision means ‘food is God’. That is the vision. Mission is ‘create as much as you can and share with the world’. So with this vision, mission, we should start sharing food. I am trying to trace the day Ganesha ate food when I offered. We will declare that day as Annapurna day in our mission. We will share food for millions of people on that day specially. We should have 1000s of or I can say millions of Annalayas around the world helping the people to go beyond hunger and removing their hunger. It’s my mission. It’s simply possible. See people should work out of inspiration and for other necessities of the life. They should not be kept in poverty for food. Food should be available for everybody as a basic right, basic need. Hunger should be wiped out.

Today being ashramites day I will say few words on what is being an ashramite. Ashramite means a person who is very extension of my being. Being a divya shariri means experiencing all the auspicious qualities and radiating all those auspicious qualities in your life. Person who dedicates his life for the continuous transformation; understand if you are here for 21 days you are dedicating your 21 days of your life for transformation. Person who dedicates his whole life for continuous transformation - that is my first priority…. I call him or her, that person as ashramite. Straight simple definition - Person who dedicates the life for continuous transformation; even Gods are created in our ashram as ashramites. See today Anandeshwara and Anandeshwari, they are wearing ashramites dress. We should create such a heaven, place and already we are successful. Even Gods come and want to be ashramites here. They should vacate Kailash and Vaikunta and all other lokas, be here in Nithyananda puri to celebrate life.

Continuous transformation; you see even if one experience of kundalini awakening can give so much of transformation to people, here every moment your kundalini is awakened. It’s like usually normal people when they get two three diamonds they make jewels and wear. Here you guys are living in diamond hill what will you do? That is why you take it for granted sometime. Ehh diamond we walk everyday on this. This is diamond that is diamond everywhere diamond. Same way once in awhile after 12 years of tapas, guru just raises his hand, puts his hand on you and your body shivers and you experience kundalini awakening you feel great. But here what happens? Everyday uff ufff ufff ufff…. That is why you feel oh Kundalini awakening hhmmmm which happens every day. Sometimes you take it for granted. That is why we try to tend to have a exhaust pipe separately and allow all the kundalini to do go away. Cover the exhaust pipe, seal it. Let all the kundalini awakening work inside you as intense work.

Understand to create a solid integrated personality ..... oh these guys are attracting my attention they are saying we are also ashramite you are not.......... to us. No really they attend the morning satsang and pada puja more regularly than any ashramite; these birds in chit sabha. Intense continuous hard work is one of the straight way to form a integrated personality. You see all these cunning fellows cannot do hard work, cannot continuously work. I have seen they can do smart work not hard work. Hard work is the unique quality of integrated centered intelligent person. If you want to move from cunningness to integrity, hypocrisy to intelligence, take up this as your life style; hard working; taking up beyond what you think you can and doing it continuously. Sit and pen down and go on doing, doing, doing, doing, doing, doing without even allowing you to talk to yourself as, ‘I am tired I don’t think I can do. What for I should do, why should I do?’

NO. Creation is your life. Go on creating. Anything which stops your creation is your violence, anger, arrogance, ego. Not only you don’t have place in our sangha, you don’t have place in the planet earth. Disappear as early as possible. Good for the planet earth. Go on creating; go on creating without looking back how much you created. Others only should see and measure. You should be constantly running. Others should come and tell you, you already ran 2000 Km, you already ran 2000 mile. You should not bother you should continue to run and they should run to your speed just even to show the card that you finished 3000 miles, you finished 4000 miles. You should not even turn your head to look at the card. They should keep in front of your eyes and they should also run to your speed. Through that way you should train them how to run to your speed. Even if somebody wants to tell you, you covered so much of kilometer, they should run to your speed and keep the card in front of you. Run and teach to run people who are trying to tell you, you ran too much. Go on creating go on creating go on creating.

Success is in big things, happiness is in small things. You should find happiness in small things does not mean you will stop living with small things. That should be the inspiration to create big things. Let your inner space be in nothing, so that you will find joy, happiness in small things and reach big thing which is success. This is the only way to realize God who is in everything. Understand let your inner space be nothing which is meditation. Find joy and happiness in small things. That should be the understanding about life. With this joy, go on creating big things, success; that should be the policy for your life. With this you will find God who is in everything. That should be the lifestyle. This is what I call eN living - Being in nothing, finding joy happiness in small thing…. things and creating big things as success, experiencing God in everything as lifestyle. This is what I call lifestyle a style of an ashramite.

My message for today’s ashramites day, for this year ashramites day is go on creating go on creating go on creating auspicious things. Create create create. Become creativity itself. Whenever you create you are a creator - God himself. When your whole life becomes such a peak of creativity you inspire 1000s to be creators; you have become creativity. Let people remember you not even as a creator, as creativity itself. Let people remember you as hiranya garbha. Hiranya garbha is not a person, creator, No. It is creativity; energy, source of creation. That is why in Vedic tradition we don’t say the source as a person. Brahma is also from hiranyagarbha. Hiranya garbha is creativity.

Let people remember you as creativity. Go on creating. Disappear into creation. Disappear into creativity. You have eternal life when you die into constantly giving birth to beings. Understand disappear into creativity. Then nothing will be left in you for death. Every moment because you are creating there is nothing can die in you. My message today for all the ashramites and to the devotees and to the whole world is create, create, create; go on creating. Not only you should become a creator you should just become creativity. Let the whole world remember you as creativity. eN kriya is a powerful way to awaken the kundalini - make you as creativity. Explore the energy of hiranya garbha in you.

Let me enter into the technique of eN kriya then I will guide you. It’s a seven step; first step inhale and exhale through, first through the left inhale exhale through right, then inhale through right and exhale through left. This is one cycle. Do this 11 times, 11 cycle.

Second step bhastrika pull your lower abdomen in and up 21 times, 21 times.

Third step samana kriya inhale as long as you can as much as possible, hold as long as possible, exhale as slowly as possible, hold the lungs empty as long as possible. Do this 21 times.

Fourth step, have shambhavi maha mudra; your thumbs on ears, the index finger and middle finger on eyes, ring finger on the nostrils, little finger on the lips. Lock all the five senses and direct all the energies inside and hit the kundalini towards the muladhara. Hit the kundalini which is in your muladhara through the redirected intraward energy. When you stop all the holes, all the five senses, visualize you are hitting with all your energy and power by directing them inside the kundalini shakti. Direct all the energies outgoing internally, inside and hit your kundalini so that it can be awakened. Hold as long as you can. When you feel you can’t hold any more, just relax only the nostrils and allow your body to inhale or exhale and balance itself. When you feel you are balanced, start again. Do this at least 21 times. If you are having high blood pressure problem or any other heart conditions, illnesses, any other serious illnesses, lungs trouble or heart conditions any other serious health conditions, do not do this kriya. Just sit throughout the kriya. Others you can do it. This is the fourth part.

Then fifth part is intense humming for seven minutes.

Sixth part is, face the bidadi banyan tree, stand on your knees and raise your hands and connect with the divine energy of the Master. Feel connected and fill yourself in that divine energy and pour. When you are full, pour it on the ground through surrendering. Receive and pour, receive and pour at least seven times.

The seventh step, just sit feeling connected intensely in the Master’s energy radiating strong, positive, loving, blissful, spiritual vibrations to the whole world.

I initiate you all into this eN kriya to achieve all the auspicious things in your life; health, blissful relationships and wealthy consciousness to attract wealth and mental fulfillment, happiness, emotional well being and spiritual enlightenment.

Start the kriya. Sit in vajrasana or padmasana. Close the right nostril with the right thumb inhale through the left nostril as deeply as possible. Do slowly but deeply. Inhale as deeply as possible.

Move to the next step. Do the bhasrtika; pulling your lower abdomen in and up 21 times. Don’t raise the shoulders just the lower abdomen.

Now move to the third step. Inhale as slowly as possible, hold your lungs full as long as possible, exhale as slowly as possible, hold your lungs empty as long as possible. Do this samana kriya at least 21 times. Start. Do this 21 times.

I bless you all who are sitting with us in 796 places through eN TV and 18 places in two way connection, at least in 208 cities, in 31 countries. Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda.

Thank you.
