Today, before starting the satsangh, Bhagavad Gita, the Third Volume, 12th to 18th Chapters in Hindi, the book is ready, and today I am releasing it.

With this, my commentary on Bhagavad Gita, the book called “Bhagavad Gita Demystified”, the whole book is now available in Hindi. All three volumes are done. As on now, we have translated in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada. So many languages it has been translated into. With this, the Hindi translation is complete. Great!

And Singapore Dhyanapeetam is launching Nithyananda Jnanalaya. Today formally they are launching. My blessings! And I am inaugurating the Nithyananda Jnanalaya formally. Let it be successful! As on now, they have five-hundred books on Hinduism and it is expanding. I bless you guys, it will become the largest Hindu library in Singapore. My blessings! Largest Hindu library in Singapore! We will make it like a one-million books, million titles library! Blessings!

It is very unfortunate that Hindus spend so much money on building temples, but we don’t spend even pennies on building libraries, because we don’t care about knowledge. This is also one reason why we have become weak. The reason why we have been weakened is we spend so much money on building temples. And no community spends so much money on building temples. Please understand, no religious worship centres are so elaborate! Especially the money South Bharatns spend on temples....God! Of course, in the north also people spend on temples, but in the South it is too much. Even all over the world, you need to know, only in the U.S., the Hindu temple-building is a six billion dollar industry! Hindu temple-building is six billion dollar industry, please understand! For the small population, less than one percent population in U.S., the amount of money we spend on temple-building! Because it is our lifestyle. But, unfortunately we don’t spend on building a library. You will be shocked, we have such large volume of temples, but we don’t have in one place the data, even the data available about all the temples and all the services they are offering.

It is our job to build beautiful libraries, and the knowledge transferring methodologies and mechanisms, please understand, knowledge transferring methodologies and mechanisms. Not only library, but also making the library user-friendly, useful to people, where people can really, really get involved, know more about it, making it more visually presenting. Please understand, human-beings have started learning visually now almost all learning processes....

I am launching this project today formally. At least ten-thousand concepts of Hinduism like Birth, Life, God, Death, Karma, Listening, Intranalyzing, at least ten-thousand concepts of Hinduism and the spiritual masters, religious leaders, various philosophies should be visually presented with examples like a slide show or animated version, and it should be made freely available in the Internet for the whole world to receive knowledge about Hinduism, and the true Hindu preachers, activists, should be trained through these visual presentations, and the people who live Hinduism authentically should be inspired to live it, and the people who are new to Hinduism, we should introduce Hinduism to them. The people who are new – introducing; people who are living – making more authentic; people who are living authentically – making them as enrichers, preachers, activists; with this aim we should develop a visual encyclopaedia of Hinduism. Just in ten minutes we can beautifully make people understand the concept of Karma in a very powerful, logical, presentable way. Same way, in ten minutes we can make a person understand what Hinduism holds as a secret about Birth, the concept of Death, why we make decisions the way we make, why we live the way we live, what is Cognition, all these great tools of Hinduism can be beautifully presented just in five minutes, ten minutes video clip visually.

It was my vision for a long time to start this project. I know all my Shrimahants, Mahants, Kotharis, Thanedars are already overloaded, and too much is in their plate, but I am reciting my mission. It is my responsibility. See, Prabhupada, Srila Prabhupada Bhaktivedanta Goswami, when Prabhupada lived, many visions he revealed didn’t become reality. He said the world’s largest building should be a Krishna temple. But now ISKCON is making it as a reality. They are building a temple which will be seen from the moon! They are building a structure which will be seen from the moon! Please understand, as on now, only the Great Wall of China is seen from the moon. This will be the second building seen from the moon. When Prabhupada revealed, they could not make it happen. But because he revealed, at least now it has become reality. So, I am revealing it, it is my job. We should have a beautiful, educating, inspiring, informing, visual encyclopaedia of Hinduism. At least ten-thousand concepts presented visually!

I have revealed my vision, and, actually, if you go deeper, deeper and deeper, for example, one life of a Master, Adi Shankara, and then we should have a link – “as per Adi Shankara the concept of Karma”, “as per Adi Shankara the concept of non-duality”, “as per Adi Shankara the concept of world”. So if you see the sub-links, it will be almost like a million visual presentations. In this way, the largest visual encyclopaedia of Hinduism should be made available. Also, I am making it very clear, I will be more happy with this project than building a huge temple for me. I know my disciples will build huge temples for me, because by nature we are a temple-building civilization. But these fools may not do websites for me, because that is not in our nature. Temple-building will not be a problem at all. I don’t even need to tell. The moment they are inspired, they will think only in that line, ‘Come on, let us build a temple for Swamiji!’ But I wanted educating organizations, educational tools, knowledge transmission methodologies, knowledge transmission apparatus, knowledge transmission systems to be available. I wanted only that.

So, please understand, the first priority should be knowledge transferring, educating apparatus, tools, systems, methodologies, accessories, things necessary. I request, I already requested today, and I am requesting once more, all our ashrams, temples, centres, should put their energy more and more into creating beautiful libraries. At least start with all my books in all the languages. Then add some of the traditional Hindu scriptures like Upanishads, Vedas, Puranas, Agamas, and expand. This should be called as “Grantha Samadhi”. All the libraries should be called as “Grantha Samadhi”. Means, “Energy Centre of Spiritual Books”. People can take the books, read and keep them back; but the books cannot be removed and taken to the house. Just like a deity cannot be removed from the temple and taken to your home, same way, books cannot be removed from the library and taken to your room, your house. It is “Grantha Samadhi”. Means, they can be referred, you can read them, you can spend time with them, get inspired, but leave the books there itself. The granthas are kept as a Samadhi there. All our ashrams should have Grantha Samadhi.

See, there are various Samadhis in Hindu tradition:

Jeeva Samadhi is a place where an enlightened master enters into Samadhi while he was breathing. Nobody took his body and put it there. He himself went and sat. That is called “Jeeva Samadhi”. Like Raghavendra Swami, Palaya Swamigal of Thanjavur, Dakshinamurthi Swamigal of Tiruvarur, Paramahamsa Yogananda – all of them are Jeeva Samadhis.

Then there is another type – “Videha Samadhi”. A Jeevan Muktha, enlightened being, he left the body, then his disciples put the whole body and build a Samadhi, like Ramana Maharshi’s Samadhi, Shirdi Saibaba’s Samadhi. These all will be Videha Samadhis. They are all called “Videha Samadhi”.

Then comes “Pushpa Samadhi”. Whatever items they used, whether a garland or a rudraksha or a cloth, or their hair or nail, whatever they used, those objects are kept, and a Samadhi is built. So, if you have taken any jewels, rudraksha worn by me, clothes, hanky, turban, your house becomes my Pushpa Samadhi. The place where you keep them, that becomes Pushpa Samadhi, understand.

Then comes “Saanidhya Samadhi”. Means, the place where they lived for quite a long time. If the place is maintained, where a great master lived, his room, like how Paramahamsa Yogananda’s room is maintained in San Diego, how Vivekananda’s room is maintained in Ramakrishna Mission, Belur Math, how Ramakrishna’s room is maintained in Dakshineshwar Kali Temple, like that the place where they lived, that place if it is maintained, that is called “Saanidhya Samadhi”.

Then comes a very important Samadhi which kept Hinduism alive – this “Grantha Samadhi”. All their books, palm leaves, are kept in one room and maintained as a Samadhi, understand?

Jeeva Samadhi, Videha Samadhi, Pushpa Samadhi, Saanidhya Samadhi, Grantha Samadhi.

All our ashrams should have at least three Samadhis. These three Samadhis you can have even when I am alive:

* One, Pushpa Samadhi. Means, some object used is kept, either nail, or hair, or some objects used is kept, and the presence is celebrated.

* Then, Saanidhya Samadhi. Naturally, in all our ashrams and temples saanidhya is there, the presence is there, Saanidhya Samadhi, because, in all our ashrams and temples I already started staying. Only after I started staying you can buy that property or rent that property or get that property, not before that.

* And, third, Grantha Samadhi. The great books should be created and made available for people to come and read. And, however convenient or inconvenient it may be, the books cannot be removed from the library, because they are deities! They cannot be damaged, they cannot be removed, they can only be read! Please don’t change the traditional rules of Grantha Samadhi. Book cannot be removed from the library. Once they are kept, they are deities now! Keep them there. People can come and read, refer, and study.

So, let me take this moment, time, to reveal my vision in this line, so that may be when more and more disciples, followers, devotees come, they will make this into reality. Surely we will make this into reality because I am going to live for quite a long time! Just by living long, I am going to win many of my enemies or the people who have enmity towards me! Just by living long, nothing else! That is the way Ramanujacharya outlived and won many of his opponents. Anyhow.....!

So, please understand, I wanted all our ashrams to have a beautiful, large-size Grantha Samadhi. Large means, really, really, really large! I wanted each ashram to have at least a million books Grantha Samadhi! That level Grantha Samadhi! Don’t even think having books is outdated because of the Internet, as all the knowledge is available in the Internet. No! In the Internet you can do the reference, but how many of you have ever read a full book on the Internet or computer screen or Kindle screen? I have everything! You name it, I have it! Kindle to iPad to Laptop to Desktop. Only the gone cases, loosus, the nuts can read a whole book on the computer screen. You cannot. You need to feel the book to read it, to be inspired by it. There is something about books. So it can never be outdated, understand? It can never be outdated! For reference purposes digital version is great. One word you can type and get in how many thousands of scriptures that word is explained, you can get that. For reference purposes the digital versions are great, the computerised versions are great.

So, all our ashrams, temples, centres should start collecting books from today. From today you should start collecting books, do a “Book Donation Drive”, and start collecting. Any book on Hinduism, and body, mind, spirit, start collecting. That is the first thing.

Second, I also wanted a Sarvagna Peetha to be established in the Internet. Means, at least twenty-five people, all sitting full-time, answering everyone’s questions. Anybody can send their questions to the Sarvagna Peetha. The question can be from as simple as “How can I worship cow every morning in my house?” to as complicated as “Should I go for this marriage with this person?”, or “Should I go for cremation or burial after my death?” It can be any simple, big, small, relevant, irrelevant question. Anybody can send in a question. These twenty-five members, at least twenty-five, will sit and refer. Only based on Hindu scriptures they will send the answers, not based on their whims and fancies. Any answer they give, they will give a solid reference of an original scripture. They will say, ‘You belong to this gothra, and you are descendant of this family. So, as per the family tradition, your body should be cremated. This is the sutra, smriti reference about your gothra. This i s the reason we arrived at this decision. Please have it.’ It should be completely substantiated by Hindu scripture. I am going to do it! I am revealing my vision.

Just like Healing Tower where we are answering all their questions, same way I wanted a written reply to be send to people. The service should be made available free of cost. Antharjaala Sarvagna Peetha! Internet Sarvagna Peetha! Antharjaala Sarvagna Peetha, where we collect and make all the scriptures available for free download. Means, we pay some royalty to the authors, publishers, and get their books, digital copy available for free download. And anybody asks any questions, they can ask the question as simple as marriage match-making, or the decisions like, ‘This is my family name. Tell me whether I should write a Will of burying my body or cremating my body.’ Any questions they have, any complications they have, any conflicts they have – if they feel depressed they should be able to send a message, ‘I am depressed. Can you give a solution as per Hindu tradition, Vedic tradition?’ We should reply based on the scriptural references why depression is wrong and how you can come out of it, the yogic solution, kriya solution, spiritual solution, and knowledge solution. They should receive the reply with the scriptural references. People should know the answers they received is from authentic Vedic tradition, not from any stupid, foolish, jeans-trekker-guru’s whims and fancies!

When I revealed my vision, I also blessed this vision. Whoever takes up this vision and tries to make this into reality, they will be supported with all aishwaryas! By my blessings, they will be given everything required and all the auspicious things! They will be showered everything required to make this vision into reality! And whatever they want to cause, that will also become reality! By my blessings and by my order, they will be showered with Ashta Aishwaryas, and all the aishwaryas.

Now, I have given life to this vision. This vision has become now independent intelligence. Now this will catch whoever is in tune with making this vision into reality. They will all gather together and this vision will become reality. I was carrying this vision for quite a long time. This number which I told, like twenty-five people and all, is a rough number. But I really wanted a huge group of people sitting and helping people to come to the solution for their complications, difficulties, problems. It can be as simple as, ‘I want to start a new shop. When is the best date in the next fifteen days? Please give me a suggestion.’ It can be as simple as the Vedic Calendar reference question, and as complicated as, ‘I want to commit suicide. When should I do it? Or should I do it or not?’

Sarvagna Peetha should be like just through one dial or one email they get all the details with the reference of the scriptures, the original authentic scriptures. There is a way of referring the books and replying. See, the first level scriptures are the Shrutis – the Vedas and Upanishads. Then the next level comes – the Darshanas. Then comes the Puranas. Then comes the Smritis. See, if some question can be answered by the Vedas itself, don’t refer to the next level, the Darshanas. If something can be answered by the Darshana itself, don’t go to the next level reference. But by the time you come to the Puranas, almost all the subjects are dealt with, there is nothing which is not handled. If something is not referred, handled even in the Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, Darshanas, then go for the modern-day living master references. Only then the modern-day living master references should be touched. Otherwise not! The “apta pramana” becomes first. Then comes “asha pramana”. Then “atma pramana”.

The 16th Chapter of Bhagavad Gita, 24th Shloka says:

Thasmaath Shaasthram Pramaanam they kaaryaakaarya vyavasthithau | Jnaathvaa shaasthra vidhaanoktham karma karthum iha arhasi ||

“Therefore let the scriptures be the authority in determining what ought to be done and what ought not to be done; having known what is said in the ordinance of the scriptures, thou should act here in this world.”

This verse, 16th Chapter, 24th Shloka, should be the Vision Statement for the Antharjaala Aamnaya Sarvagna Peetha. And we should have at least a few hundred pundits and swamis sitting and running this Sarvagna Peetha, making Hinduism really as simple and as practical and as beautiful and as liveable as possible.

Mokshapriyan has a question: ‘How do we make sure “atma pramaana” is practical in this present time? Is that not what the living masters have done?’

I will handle this question later on! Now what I am doing itself is “atma pramaana”. Making “apta pramaana” and “asha pramaana” into your reality is “atma pramaana”. I am making the conclusions of rishis and shaastras into your reality. The way we translate and make it as a practical solution, that should be our contribution, but original to the core, authentic to the masters, being tuned to the masters and what they always wanted.

This is one of the projects really, really, really very dear to my heart, and it should be completely made available free. Earlier I was thinking I should make it self-sustaining, so we should charge for questions. No! The moment we charge for questions, the spirit of Hinduism is lost, the spirit of Vedic tradition is lost. We will make this as free. Anybody wants any of their doubts to be clarified, questions to be answered, guidance for their situation as per Hinduism can refer us just by one call or one email. We should have this Sarvagna Peetha project and largest Grantha Samadhi in our Sangha. Unfortunately, no other Hindu guru, religious leader has thought about this, this Sarvagna Peetha, Antharjaala Aamnaya Sarvagna Peetha.

I am getting a message from Monali from Baroda Centre: ‘Already we have collected seven-hundred books on spirituality and Vedic masters, and have a proper library.’

Monali, my blessings! Only thing you have to make sure the books are not sent outside. In Grantha Samadhi, in Hindu tradition, you cannot remove the books from that library. You should make a place available there itself with chairs and all the facilities to read. People can come there and read and leave the books there itself and go out. And the books should also be worshipped every day. Means, every day, at least put a few flowers on the cupboards. You don’t need to put flowers on the books, at least on the cupboards. And every day the incense is shown and arathi shown and the books worshipped as per the Hindu tradition.

I want in all our ashrams the Grantha Samadhi should be worshipped. Don’t think the worship concept was created just for maintenance. No! When I say worship, I mean WORSHIP! Feel they are God, they are the embodiment of God – Vyasa and Goddess Saraswathi – and worship them to give you the right knowledge and guidance about life. All our Jnanalayas should be called as “Grantha Samadhis”. From none of our libraries books can be removed. And we should also have an Internet Library corner where we have a few computers. Millions and millions of Hindu scriptures, spiritual scriptures which are available in digital version should be downloaded and kept for reference purposes. People can use those computers and refer. Even though we have digitised version, we should have hard copies. We should have hard copies....printed on paper. The traditional Grantha Samadhi should be created and maintained.

23rd Verse of 16th Chapter in Bhagavad Gita says:

Yah shaastra vidhim uthsrijya varthathey kaamakaarathaha | Na sa siddhim avaapnothi na sukham na paraam gathim ||

“But he who discards the scriptural injunctions and acts according to his own whims, attains neither perfection nor happiness nor the supreme destination.”

So, this Grantha Samadhi and Sarvagna Peetha, as these two projects are very close to my heart and my pet projects, I have personal interest in this project, I myself will directly do this project. I will directly involve myself and do it, because these two are closest to my heart to keep the tradition alive. These two are only the project of Naimisharanya. Please understand, in those days, anybody who has any of these kind of conflicts, problems, questions, they will go to Naimisharanya where all the scriptures are stored, and the rishis who have read all the scriptures are available who will refer immediately to the scriptures and give answer to them, to the visitors. This is the Naimisharanya Project, reviving the Naimisharanya, the Sarvagna Peetha.

Just like the Nithyananda Gurukul is my unique contribution to revive Vedic Tradition, this project of Grantha Samadhi, the world’s largest Vaidika Grantha Samadhi and Sarvagna Peetha, this will be the larger contribution to Hinduism from us. You will see per day we will be handling almost hundred-thousand questions! I am visualizing around thousand pundits sitting and answering hundred-thousand questions per day through email and phone calls and all the communications, all the ways we will receive, from Facebook, chat, and live chat, Whatsapp, everything, YouTube, Skype call, all the available communication methods will be done with the large size building of the world’s largest Vedic Grantha Samadhi and world’s largest Hindu Call Centre, Vedic Call Centre. Around at least thousand pundits sitting and attending million questions, or hundred-thousand questions a day. It can be as simple as, ‘This is my date of birth. What gem can I wear for my success and prosperity?’, or, ‘This is my house plan. Can you help me to correct it as per the Vaasthu?’ All Hindu services at one place free of cost at the speed of thought! That is my vision for Grantha Samadhi and Sarvagna Peetha. And I will make it happen! I will do it! This will become the reference centre for billion Hindus for any of their questions related to Hinduism and Vedic Tradition. And, I tell you, after I do, other religions will copy from me! We will set a trend! We will set a trend! And other religions will copy from us!

I am so happy in Sunday satsangh I revealed my vision. And, I myself request directly, anybody who wants to be part of this vision in any way, whether by offering your time, treasure or talent, I welcome all of you to directly send a message in my Facebook. Don’t inbox me, but put it on the open wall or tag me. And, I tell you, because I am directly doing it, anything you offer, whether your time or treasure or talent, I will shower it multiple times back on you. You will have my time, treasure and talent for you. When I receive, I always give. Post on your wall and tag me in Facebook anybody who wants to support this vision in any way. I know this is too big and none of my Mahants or Kotharis or Thanedars or Shrimahants will dare to say, ‘I will take the responsibility, Swamiji.’ It is only I have to do it directly. But I really want to do it!

Grantha Samadhi, I wanted it to be based in Varanasi. And the Sarvagna Peetha, the questions and answers, that answering mechanism, the whole mechanism I wanted it to be based in Varanasi. I wanted both to be based in Varanasi. We will do it! We will really do it! We can do it!

Then comes “Pushpa Samadhi”. Whatever items they used, whether a garland or a rudraksha or a cloth, or their hair or nail, whatever they used, those objects are kept, and a Samadhi is built. So, if you have taken any jewels, rudraksha worn by me, clothes, hanky, turban, your house becomes my Pushpa Samadhi. The place where you keep them, that becomes Pushpa Samadhi, understand.

With this, I will move to the Kalpataru process. Today, in this Kalpataru process, I am going to request Vishwanatha, Kaalabhairava, Annapoorni, to make this vision into reality.

Yes. All the participants who came for Kalpataru Darshan, please sit straight. Take up a paper and pen. Pen down one thought you want to cause as reality, and all the doubts, incompletions, fears you have about that thought becoming reality. Please start penning down.

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

Yes. Now close your eyes and sit straight. Complete and drop all the incompletions you have and hold the space for what you want to cause as reality. Hold the space for really what you want to cause as reality. Whatever you want to cause as reality, hold the space for it without fear, doubt, incompletions. Namah Shivaya!

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

Thathaasthu! Whatever space you held on, let it become reality! Whatever visualization you held, let it become reality! Thathaasthu! Thathaasthu! Thathaasthu!

Houston-Kalahasti, Shri Mukthiroopananda, Saravanan, Nithya Shree, birthday blessings to all three of you! With all the auspiciousness, you will be with me, I will be with you! Be blissful! Blessings!

And Mumbai, Mani Ramalingam’s new office, blessings for the new office inauguration! Mani, I will be there! My presence will be there! I will run the business! Blessings!

And we will have Kalpataru Darshan for all the participants who came in Ananda Vana-Varanasi. Then we will go for the SMKT meeting. Then the second day of the NDY programme, we will continue with our programme.

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