I welcome everyone, all the devotees, disciples, samajis, satsangis, Sri Mahants, Mahants, Thanedar, visitors, viewers, everyone sitting with us all over the world through Nithyananda TV and two-way video conferencing having Nayana Deeksha. I welcome all of you with my love and respects.

Today’s subject for webinar: Guru Gita. Maybe I have to speak for ten years. Even then I don’t think I will be able to complete it. I’ll just introduce the scene how Guru Gita was revealed to the world. Please understand, Guru Gita is revealed scripture. Whatever Paramashiva reveals those scriptures are not called as written scriptures, they are called revealed scriptures - Smriti, Shruti, not Smriti. Listen carefully. Shruti (श्रुति, Śruti) means revealed, heard. Smriti (स्मृति, Smṛti) means remembered, written. Guru Gita is a Shruti, revealed and heard. Revealed by Paramashiva, heard by the Rishis. Here, Guru Gita was revealed by Paramashiva, heard by Parashakti.

It’s a beautiful scene. Parameshwari, Parashakti sitting in the lap of Paramashiva, ask Him, “Prabhu, whole Universe, Cosmos meditates on you to reach you. But you are all the time with your eyes closed and meditating. On whom are you meditating? To whom are you meditating?” Best doubt. Paramashiva smiles and says, “On Guru Tattva.” How can Paramashiva have Guru? Listen. Paramashiva beautifully explains His manifest component is meditating on His unmanifest component. His vyakta (व्यक्त), manifested is meditating, being in Oneness with His unmanifest, avyakta (अव्यक्त), understand. The avyakta of Cosmos is Guru Tattva, manifest as Paramashiva to help all of us, lead all of us into Oneness with the whole Universe, whole Cosmos, the Ultimate. Listen. It is such and important understanding you need to have. Unmanifest guides the manifest. I tell you, that is why there is so much struggle when Guru tries to guide you.

The greatest sacrificer in the Universe - Tyaga Raja is Guru. Because he, he sacrifices good name. It is too easy to sacrifice everything for good name, but simply impossible to sacrifice good name. A real Guru does not bother about even good name. He bothers only about the result, making that disciple experience Oneness. Only about goal. He knows he is going to fight with ignorance. Many time people who cannot separate themself from the ignorance will also come for fight. They don’t understand he’s only fighting with the ignorance. You just disconnect with the ignorance, he is not going to be fighting with you, that's all he expects. But ignorant people are not that intelligent to unclutch from ignorance. They pick up the weapon and try to come and fight. Representatives of the ignorance.

One of my aadheenavasi, I told him teach yoga to all the balansanths and make sure. But he is so possessive of his good name, he could not. He did not succeed. I tell you, self, good name, seeking desired good name desired fellows cannot be Gurus. People who are bothered about their brand cannot be Guru. A real Guru will only be bothered about disciple experiencing Oneness with the Cosmos and Universe. Nothing else matters to him. Nothing else matters to him. The highest sacrifice is sacrificing your good name. If both are presented - the disciple feeling having a good name about me good da, “Ooh, he’s a good guy” and “he be achieving the Oneness.” I will choose only “he achieving Oneness.” I don’t care about what kind of idea you may have about me, you may develop about me. That is whether you feel I am a good person or bad person, it is out of ignorance. Out of enlightenment if you feel I am good person - that is only a real good name. That’s only the permanent good name. That’s only a permanent honest genuine love, understand!

I am a matured guy, I taste genuine love, not shit - called attention and good brand. No! I can see very clearly after this attack on me, the prosecution on me, when the my whole the so-called social good name was lost. Only after that I started tasting genuine love. I have people who genuinely love around me. Not the so-called socially good brand. Before this attack done on me by the atheist terrorists and casteist terrorists, I had a very big social branding when Nithyananda was fashion. But I have never tasted the genuine love. It was all silly love. It is all about putting garland for me and making me sit in the chariot and...they just wanted claim their superiority. They were trying to push their superiority using my brand, my name, my photograph. In their locality they want to show they are big guys. They directly cannot put their flags. People will ask, “Why are you putting your flags? Looks so ugly.” So they put my flags and put their photograph below. I have seen, understand.

This so-called good name and things associated with that is the worst stupidity. I started tasting genuine love only after the so-called social branding was destroyed. And people who understand I may be ferocious but I am not angry. I may not be kind but I will be compassionate. I may not be polished but I will be integrated. Only people who understand that, who are really ready, who are, who really want enlightenment - I have started attracting that kind of people around me. That kind of people have started coming and living around me. I could see the genuine love, understand. Genuine love happens between matured being, who knows each other’s goal, who can smell each other’s integrity, who can feel each other’s chastity, understand. My disciples know my chastity to them. I will not compromise on their enlightenment for any brand building exercise. They know I will not compromise on that truth. I will not compromise on the integrity to the spiritual truths, understand.

I really tell you, this persecution happened on me, so many bad things they tried to do. The number of murder attempts, trying to destroy the sangha, religious freedom. How much of my religious freedom was destroyed, curtailed and my, I don’t know how many of you know I have been ordered by the court not to speak, preach. Fundamental human rights violation. Murder attempts, fundamental human rights violation. Properties snatched. Freedom of expression destroyed and denied. My disciples and followers raped, attempted murder even murdered. So much me and my sangha has gone through and ultimately neither my disciples from other countries are allowed to come and visit me in Bharat nor I am allowed to go out of Bharat to travel, to teach. Choking the religious freedom and the spiritual work. Even though legally I cannot be denied my passport or freedom to travel, just like that passport officer says, “We are not interested in giving you a passport. Giving you your passport, renewing your passport.” Oh God! But court order says very clearly I am suppose to be given my passport and allowed to travel. “No, we don’t care about court order.” They don’t care about court order.

All these attacks by various elements. So much of bad things they have done. But, as a spiritual being I always try to find some good thing among all the bad things. I always try to make everything into good. One good thing I saw out of this is, all the unnecessary fat - people who are around me just for brand, social brand, not sincere seekers left me so I am able to taste genuine matured love and people who are really matured, integrated to the goal of enlightenment, who can understand I am chaste to their purpose of enlightenment, I am integrated to their goal of enlightenment, I will not compromise on that real truth. Those genuine people...only those genuine people have started gathering and living around me. I could see very clearly, I have started tasting matured genuine love, who don’t care about this so-called goodness, goodie goodie cheats “Ooo...ooo-ooo babas.” No.

Out of all that the attacks I went through...I always pray to Paramashiva, “Prabhu, let me be integrated to you. As long as I am integrated to you, even death cannot touch me.” I know, if I am not integrated to you, what’s the use of living. I always pray to Paramashiva, “Let me be integrated to you,” and He kept up. He accepted and fulfilled my prayer. I am only seeing more and more genuine disciples who are really integrated for enlightenment, for Sanatana Hindu Dharma are gathering around me. I am tasting genuine love, people who smell my integrity and chastity to them. Naturally, they become integrated and chasted to me. Understand, Guru is the person who is ready to sacrifice that last thing - good name also for the sake of the integrity to disciples’ enlightenment. The only thing he stands for is disciples’ enlightenment. The uncompromising, integrity to disciples’ enlightenment. Doesn’t bother about any of that so-called good name, so-called...society’s branding, understand.

It’s very easy to give up money, wealth, everything else for good name. But only a person who is ready to give up even the good name to be integrated to disciples’ enlightenment, to the Science of Enlightenment, to keep doing what he is suppose to do with integrity - only that person is a real Guru. Real Guru can be recognised what he does when he lost, when he loses all the good name and social branding. What he does when all the good name and social branding is lost, base on that you can find who is real Guru. If he continues to stand with the spiritual truths and goes on working for the enlightenment of the world, then you can understand he’s genuine Guru. Listen carefully. The greatest sacrifice I have seen from my own Gurus - their integrity to my enlightenment. Whether Arunagiri Yogishwara or Annamalai Swamigal or Raghupati Yogi or Vibhunanda Puri. I tell you, the only thing I observed in them, in all of them - such high integrity for my enlightenment.

They never care, they sacrifice anything. They never bothered. They were ready to sacrifice anything. Not just their food or clothes or their physical items, they are ready to sacrifice even their good name. They never bothered even me screaming at them out of ignorance. Not only others screamed, even if I screamed at them out of ignorance, they’ve never bothered. They may not even be sure at one day I will realise their sacrifice for me and I will be overwhelmed with the gratitude just by remembering them, I will put their statues and photographs all over the world and worship. They may not know all these. I don’t think they have expected. Actually they denied. They told me again and again, “No need. You just do what for you came down we know. Let you manifest that. That’s all we care.”

That is why my Guru Vibhunanda Puri, she writes, “I am accepting my fortune as my disciple \>\>\>Tamil\<\<\<, the boon given to me by Paramashiva. I am accepting as that, that as my disciple.” See the paradox. She’s telling, “I am accepting somebody else disciple who is a boon given to me.” In Tamil she writes beautifully, “\>\>\>Tamil\<\<\<” Means, “All the tapas I have done, the result of that which has come in my life, I am accepting that being as my disciple.” For the sake of society of course, she wants to, she wants the Guru Parampara to be maintained so nobody will question me later on about my legitimacy to teach Hinduism and to spread, do this mission. She wanted the legitimacy to be continued. That kind of a integrity they had for my enlightenment. I can give hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of incidents to show their dedication to disciples’ enlightenment.

It’s not that my Gurus did not go through the abusal from society. They all went through so much of abusal from the unconscious people. If they were popular in few states, in the few states they went through. Because I am popular all over the world, I went through all over the world attack, that’s all. Otherwise, they went through in their own scale. But their commitment for the disciples’ enlightenment. Keeping, you see, keeping this whole knowledge alive and transmitting it completely - only then they felt relieved. Only after they finished, completely quality checking - QC and making it QC passed, only then all of them left their body. And such a funny thing. Within one year, all of them left the body - Annamalai Swamigal, Vibhunanda Puri, err Raghupati Yogi, all of them just in one or two years gap. That’s too funny. How tak...tak...tak...tak...tak they left the body.

And when I entered the public life, Ramsuratkumar called and said, “Yes! Now I am done. You have come to carry the mantle. It’s time for me to leave the body.” He called some of his disciples and temple people and important people and introduced me and told everyone, “He will carry the mantle now. The tradition of the Arunachala will continue.” And he just left the body! The kind of a sacrifice.

Guru is avyakta guiding the the vyakta to Oneness. Unmanifest making the manifest manifest Oneness. I’ll read out the precise translation of the introduction to Guru Gita. Parashakti is asking, “Ooh Lord, you are the teacher of the entire world, the supreme being. Your are fit above all to receive the prostrations. To whom do you bow? I am amazed at this. Please enlighten me.” The great Lord Paramashiva response was simple, direct and startling, “It is to the Guru I bow.” Understand, the unmanifest manifest, making the manifest experience Oneness is Guru. Guru Tattva is eternal. Guru Tattva is the grand narrative. Gurus come and go. Guru Tattva is the grand narrative. Gurus are like news. Let’s bow down to the Guru Tattva. Let’s bow down to the Guru Tattva.

Sit, I’ll connect all of you with the Guru Tattva. Let the unmanifest manifest through all of us and make us manifest Oneness with the whole Cosmos. Sit straight. Close your eyes. Chant the Mahavakya intensely. Paramashiva, the unmanifest and manifest manifest in all of us. Let the Ultimate manifest in all of us. Let Ultimate manifest Oneness with the Cosmos in all of us.

(Swamiji starts the initiation process by chanting the Mahavakya “Om Nithyananda Paramashivoham” continuously)

Nithyananda Paramashivoham. Let the unmanifest and manifest manifest as a Guru Tattva in all of us. Make all of us experience Oneness with the Cosmos, Paramashiva himself.

I bless you all. Let’s all radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility, Enriching, Causing, Living Shuddhadvaita Saivam, Paramashivoham, The Eternal Bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you. Be blissful.
