Today, Mahadeva is gracing us in Shaakambari Alankara – means, wearing vegetables as ornaments. In the form of a hunter Mahadeva is gracing us. In Agama tradition this is a very unique alankara where the deity is completely covered with vegetables. It is called “Shaakambari Alankara”.

I also have one more good news for all of you. The Honourable High Court of Karnataka has stayed the order passed by a local officer to dismantle our Gurukul and shift all our gurukul kids to nearby schools. The order has been stayed by the Honourable High Court of Karnataka. So, I wanted to tell all the parents of the gurukul kids and the gurukul kids....we will continue to exist!

And I will move to today’s satsangh subject. Before moving to the satsangh subject immediately, I can give one or two references, tips, for the sake of our gurukul teachers, students and the parents of the gurukul kids. We have already clear legal protection given by the Bharatn Constitution and even the Circular of the Government of Bharat, Ministry of Human Resources and Development, Department of Literacy. The Circular very clearly says in the third point, “Institutions, including Madrassas and Vedic Patashalas, especially serving religious and linquistic minorities are protected by Article 29 and 30 of the Constitution.” The RTE, Right to Education Act does not come in the way of continuation of such institutions or the right of children in such institutions. So, I am a religious organization, Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam is a religious organization, and Nithyananda Gurukul is directly serving a religious organization and also a linguistic minority in Karnataka. It was signed by one Mr. Vikram Sahai, Director.

So, these are the details of the Circular. May be, for the sake of reference of Samaya Channel, I am giving.

So, thanks to all the Swamis, great Swamis who stood by us very strongly and supported us like Shanthaveera Mahaswamiji of Kolada Mutt Mahasamsthana and other gurus who are strongly protecting our Gurukul and giving us the legal advice necessary. And we also thank the Honourable High Court for protecting us. And we trust the Bharatn Judiciary and God!

Nithyanandeshwara Devasthanam is a religious institution, and Nithyananda Gurukul is directly serving a religious institution, and it is a Vedic Patashala. So, we will continue to exist!

The High Court has given a judgement also. May be I will give the judgement number; Samaya TV will directly verify. The whole judgement is available with me here. May be, later on we will provide. Writ Petition C.No.95 of 2010. In the judgement, the Court has very clearly spelt it out. You can refer to that judgement also.

I will move to today’s satsangh subject: How the Science of Completion, when added with devotion, becomes a powerful experience of liberation.

Please understand, first time I am going to connect these two sciences – the Science of Completion, and the Science of Surrender. In the traditional Bhakthi literatures, the Dasa Parampara, Kanaka Dasa, Purandara Dasa, Vittala Dasa, Bhakthi Sampradaya of the great Shaiva Nayanmars and Kanakadasa, Purandara Dasa, Vittala Dasa, Dasa Parampara, the great devotees like Meera, Andal, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, from the Narada Bhakthi Sutras, the whole Bhakthi Sampradaya, finally evolves to the ultimate surrender. We call it “Atma Sharanagathi”. The Science of Completion is from the Advaita Sampradaya, Yoga Vedanta Sampradaya, and the Science of Surrender is from the Bhakthi Sampradaya, how both complement each other.

Please understand, ultimately the Complete Completion happens when you don’t even bother about Complete Completion! Even the desire or the effort for the Complete Completion is surrendered! When even that effort is surrendered at the feet of the Divine, the Complete Completion happens.

The Science of Surrender..... Please listen, listen sincerely and intensely, listen sincerely. The more and more and more Completion you do, the more and more and more the surrender starts happening in you.

I need to define “surrender”. “Surrender” in no way starts with powerlessness or gives you the powerlessness experience or ends in powerlessness. Surrender starts with powerfulness, leads from powerfulness to more powerfulness, ends in ultimate powerfulness. Surrender is in no way connected to powerlessness.

Many times, in your powerlessness, the “giving up”, you call it as surrender. No! Giving up is not surrender. Giving up is not surrender! Listen! Giving up is NOT surrender! A Shiva bhaktha will never give up on himself or others. Surrender does not come by powerlessness; it comes by tremendous powerfulness.

The Science of Completion and the Science of Powerfulness, both complement each other. The Science of Completion and the Science of Powerfulness, both complement each other. When you complete more and more, you become powerful. When you surrender more and more, you become powerful. More Completion leads to more surrender. More surrender leads to more Completion.

Completion is nothing but falling in love with your higher self. Decide to reside in the higher self. Surrender is nothing but falling in love with the embodiment of your higher self or Ishta Devatha. Your “ishta” is nothing but your higher self. Surrender should lead to more and more “ishta”, not “kashta” (difficulty). Naturally, surrender leads you to more and more powerfulness, not powerlessness. It leads to more and more powerfulness, more and more joy, more and more strength.

Understand, when you carry the space of surrender, everything in life listens to you. Even a plant drops all its thorns just by your request! How do you think just our gurukul kids are able to talk to plants and the plants are listening to them? And they are dropping their thorns! Understand, it is not a myth or story I am talking. We can show you in front of your eyes.

Surrender makes you deeply powerful, the space of Completion makes you deeply powerful. Surrender is misinterpreted, given wrong meaning in the western thought-trend. The word is used more like in the war you lose and drop all your weapons and surrender. Here I am not using that meaning. The word “surrender” has a totally different meaning in the Bhakthi literature. So, may be, I may not even want to use the word “surrender” in English. I will use the word “Sharanagathi” just in Sanskrit. “Sharana” and “Agathi”! It is such powerfulness! The powerfulness...the powerfulness radiated by the devotees! Andal was not weak! Akkamadevi was not weak! Meera was not weak! Kanakadasa, Purandara Dasa, Vittala Dasa, all the great Dasa Sampradhaya devotees are not weak. They are never weak. Understand, Kanaka-Purandara-Vittala Dasas, Meera, Akkama, Andal, all of them are not weak. They all lived in the space of powerfulness.

Even Completion you can intellectually grasp even if you don’t practice it. Just if you watch satsangh, you will grasp what is Completion. Now all in Samaya TV Channel, they can grasp Completion even if they listen to satsangh! They are my regular satsangh listeners, satsanghis. Even they can understand what is Completion and the power of Completion. Hope they have already started practicing Completion. See, Completion can be understood even if you listen intellectually! But this Sharanagathi, surrender, you need to see somebody experiencing and radiating it. You need to be around some great bhaktha, devotee. Because it is such a beautiful experience, you need to see that radiating in the body language. Sharanagathi, surrender, cannot be understood just by the intellect. Intellectually if you try to understand, it will only lead to the surrender that happens during the war period; it is out of powerlessness, kind of failure, drop-out. But the Bhaktha Sampradhayas, the Bhakthi Traditions do not mean that kind of surrender here; you become more and more powerful, more and more strong, more and more intelligent. The Bhakthi Sampradhaya, its definition of surrender is totally different.

So, understand, more and more practice of surrender leads to more and more experience of Completion. More and more experience of Completion leads to more and more practice of surrender.

I just wanted to introduce this theory, this science. In the next few days, I will expand on the nuances, the details of both these sciences and how both sciences complement each other, support each other.

Knowledge leads to power. The way of thinking, if your way of thinking, if it is leading you to more and more power, making you more and more powerful every day, you are thinking in the right direction. If your thinking is making you powerless every day, you are thinking in the wrong direction.

Please listen! Violence is not power. It actually makes you powerless. That is why you become violent. The world, life, universe responds to you exactly the way you behave with it. If you are violent, constantly violence is given back to you. If you are peaceful, how much ever, how many ever people try to disturb you, they will not be successful; constantly you are given the peace and victory again and again.

When the Science of Completion connects with the Science of Surrender, the space you create becomes reality, because all your individual incompletions should be completed. When you are complete, your individual identity should be surrendered to the Cosmos. Then Cosmos functions through you. Individual identity is made out of bunch of incompletions. When all those incompletions are complete, you surrender yourself to the Cosmos.

I tell you, please listen, whenever you do tapas, especially a sincere routine with integrity, like how we do in our Sangha every day morning Yoga, completing with the body, then all the Pancha Kriyas, then all the great spiritual truths, completing with the mind and the soul, creating the Vedic Mind, actually, after sometime, you guys even take it for granted. You will see, if you study, we will prove it: we are the largest community in the world with lowest physical disorders, any illness, physical and mental, both. Please understand, if we start recording, we may even be able to create a Guinness Record: the largest community living together with the lowest physical or mental sickness, with such minimum food, so much intense thinking and working! You guys just take health for granted. Do you know, people living outside in the world regularly fall sick and go to doctors? But this integrated routine, when you follow it so authentically, automatically your body and mind goes to the space of Completion. From that space of Completion if you surrender, any space you create becomes reality, God supports you, God protects you!

Experiencing the Science of Surrender and Completion is what I call “Kalpataru”.

With this, I will lead every one of you into the Kalpataru process. All the participants who have come for Kalpataru Darshan here and in Rajapalayam, please pick up your paper and pen. Please pick up one thought you want to cause as reality, and all the incompletions around that thought, doubts you have around that thought, please pen down both.

(After a few minutes.....................)

Now please sit straight. Create the space for what you want to achieve. Whatever reality you want to cause, visualize it is now reality, it is present now. Complete with all the incompletions, self-doubts, and drop. And create the space for what you want to cause as reality. Namah Shivaya!

KALPATARU MEDITATION IN PROGRESS.....................

We will start the Kalpataru Darshan first for the participants who are in Bidadi, then Rajapalayam.

KALPATARU DARSHAN IN PROGRESS.....................

I bless you all! Let you all radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility and Enriching and Causing eternal bliss, Nithyananda! Thank you!
