TALKS FROM MORNING SATSANG ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2012 AT TIRUVANNAMALAI ASHRAM, INDIA Bhagavad Gita (Song of God) is a timeless treatise on the essence of living enlightenment. The Gita was imparted by the enlightened Hindu incarnation Sri Krishna to the warrior-prince Arjuna over 5000 years ago. Amazingly, the spiritual wisdom and life solutions offered in the Gita are so universal and current that even today it is used as a personal transformation guide. In today's talk on Bhagavad Gita, chapter 6, verse 23, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) counsels us never to abandon our sadhana, our spiritual practice. Without continuous unclutching from suffering in life, even our feeling connection with the master can be broken. We become attached to our negative thoughts and memories and our devotion can be lost. Never-ending sadhana is the sacred secret for our salvation. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6, verse 23 23 September 2012 Successfully hundreds of participants have completed Nirahara samyama level 2, 4th batch today. Understand, this instruction is only for ashramites and THE Samyama participants. All the ashramites and THE Samyama participants, please understand, eat when you feel like. Do not have a law, not to eat or to have regular diet pattern. No.. do not have both. Don't have the habit that I will eat in time regularly 2 meal or 3 meal a day. No.. same way, don't have a law, I will not eat at all. The real samyama happens when you don't even have the vow of samyama and feel like not eating at all and move with the flow. I tell you, I don't feel like eating at all. Only when I see the body becomes too hot and needs something I pour some juice. So you don't even need to restrict yourself only to juice. You can even eat solid food whenever you feel like. But make sure neither the visualization of the food or the smell of the food or your mind interferes in the samyama and ask you to eat. Only like casually, "Alright! Ah, today some temple prasad has come. Come on, let me put it in my mouth." Try to learn to live like a God. Gods do not have vow not to eat. They just do not feel like. So live like a Gods on the planet earth. I think now, especially THE Samyama participants have been really trained. So, now from today all the ashramites who are doing Nirahara samyama and THE Samyama, all the THE samyama participants, all of you will end the vow, you will not have this vow anymore. Feel like, have it. Don't feel like, leave it. So the samyama out of freedom. Samyama out of joy not out of vow. I tell you, then body just jumps into a new kind of wellness. It jumps into a new kind of that feeling well. So today onwards you will do something called unique FREE Samyama. The Samyama without the vow. So, from today you will have samyama without vow. Today I have something unique from our Siddha products release, officially Dhyanapeetam's Kadukkai podi and Kadukkai tablets. It is a sarvaroha nivarani. I am very happy to release these two. This is the only thing which I take regularly. I think I don't need to introduce about kadukkai podi anymore. All of you know the power of it. It increases the oxygen flow in the blood 300% and we call it in Sanskrit Haritaki and the exact meaning of the word Haritaki means 'the drop of the nectar fell from Indra's cup and that drop is Haritaki'. I can say it is 100% true. It is nectar. It is nectar. I tell you guys this is the most powerful spiritual cleanser. I wanted to give you the title. Not just body cleanser. Because the oxygen level in the body increases 300%, it directly works on your non-mechanical parts of the brain. When the non-mechanical parts of the brain gets awakened, then all the spiritual truths are understood you will be able to grasp all the spiritual truths and live. So, not only that from now, in all akashik reading sessions, Kalabhairava dharshans, haritaki will be given as a prasadam. Haritaki is the Kalabhairava's prasada. Kalabhairava should be offered Haritaki and this should be shared as a prasadam of Kalabhairava among the devotees. And all our devotees, every month on Chitra nakshatram and Ashtami should do, Ashtami is the thithi for Kalabhairava and the thithi in which Swamiji was born. We should have Kalabhairava pooja, Kalabhairava's worship and should have Haritaki as prasadam, share with everybody. I am doing some more research, is there a food item, cooked adding Haritaki, if that is there we will make that as a compulsory in our Anna Mandir. Nothing. Nothing like Haritaki. That is the really nectar from Devaloka. Let's start today morning satsang. In Bhagavad Gita, 6th chapter Dhyana Yoga, 23rd verse. tam vidyaad duhkha-samyoga viyogam yoga-samgnyitam | sa nishcayena yoktavyaha yogo nirvinna chetasaa || The translation : Understand that separation from being absorbed with suffering is termed as 'feeling connection'. And this has to be practised with conviction, with an insight that does not pull you down.
TALKS FROM MORNING SATSANG ON SEPTEMBER 22, 2012 AT TIRUVANNAMALAI ASHRAM, INDIA Bhagavad Gita (Song of God) is a timeless treatise on the essence of living enlightenment. The Gita was imparted by the enlightened Hindu incarnation Sri Krishna to the warrior-prince Arjuna over 5000 years ago. Amazingly, the spiritual wisdom and life solutions offered in the Gita are so universal and current that even today it is used as a personal transformation guide. In today's talk on Bhagavad Gita, chapter 6, verse 22, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) describes the ultimate state of enlightened lifestyle. When we are completely unclutched in our inner space, and still able to function smoothly in ordinary life, we embody the state of sahaja samadhi, which is the perpetual state of all enlightened masters. Once our kundalini is awakened, we achieve the highest level of consciousness and our spirit naturally flows toward this ultimate destination of sahaja samadhi. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6, Dhyana Yoga, Verse 22 yam labdhvaa chaaparam laabham manyate naadhikam tataha | yasmin-sthito na duhkhena gurunaapi vicaalyate || Translation: Having obtained which one does not esteem any other acquisition as something more and being established in which one is not shaken by even the most grievous suffering. Bhagawan is describing one of the greatest state of advaida experience. Please understand, there are various states, various stages of Samadhi -- Sabija, Nirbija, Savikalpa, Nirvikalpa, Bhava Samadhi. There are various stages of Samadhi. Bhagawan is describing the ultimate Sahaja Samadhi. If you can move your body and mind and relate with the ordinary world as they understand life but completely being established in your nirvikalpa Samadhi, it is called sahaja Samadhi. Please understand, being established in the nirvikalpa Samadhi in your inner space, completely unclutched in the inner space, with that if you are able to move your body and mind in a so-called society's normalcy, that is sahaja samadhi. The most powerful, the ultimate spiritual state, even Gods need to do tapas to achieve this state. Even Gods who achieved their states by the various practices need to do unique special tapas to achieve this state. yam labdhvaa chaaparam laabham manyate naadhikam tataha | yasmin-sthito na duhkhena gurunaapi vicaalyate || Having obtained which state one does not esteem any other acquisition as something more and being established in which state one is not shaken by even the most grievous suffering is Sahaja Samadhi. We call it Sahaja Sthithi. The state where the space where thoughts are not required for the smooth functioning of your body and even mind. Mind can function without thoughts. Please understand, even though usually the mind is bunch of thoughts it can function without thoughts. You may ask, "How can mind which is bunch of thoughts can function without thoughts." Just by the presence of the super consciousness, without any agitation or the after effects and side effects which will be usually created by thoughts, mind can function, mind can flow. Unless the mind functions you wont even be able to stand, sit and walk. It functions without any thoughts. No thought. No movement. That is why I always tell people; I am not existing as you think of me. Same way, after I leave the body I am not going to be absent as you think of the absence. Understand, an enlightened master, a person who is established in sahaja samadhi, he will not be present as you understand presence, he will not be absent as you understand absence. Krishna says very beautifully, whoever understands the way I function, will be liberated. Understand he says, if you understand how I am functioning you will be liberated. How funny it is! You may think, "Ah! How will I be liberated if I know how Krishna is functioning". You will understand your mind is also functioning in the same way and just your ignorance creates complication. You will just unclutch that very moment. "Wow! This is what! Then why was I connecting all the thoughts unnecessarily and creating constant suffering for me. I wasted my time creating constant suffering for myself." When you create constant suffering for you, even the good thing you want to do to others will become suffering for them and you will cry, "Oh! Even if I do good things people take it bad." They are not taking it bad; you are doing it as bad even though you plan good. But when you stop torturing yourself, when you stop giving suffering to you, even if you do something what you think or you may feel as bad, will end up as good. When an enlightened master uses his trishool even then He only heals. When an ordinary man even if he gives gift he only destroys others. In Calcutta, when I was staying, I saw, I was staying in the banks of the Ganges; two neighbours, every day morning there will be a fight. They will scream in that village Bengali. Scream means really scream.
TALKS FROM MORNING SATSANG ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2012 AT TIRUVANNAMALAI ASHRAM, INDIA Bhagavad Gita (Song of God) is a timeless treatise on the essence of living enlightenment. The Gita was imparted by the enlightened Hindu incarnation Sri Krishna to the warrior-prince Arjuna over 5000 years ago. Amazingly, the spiritual wisdom and life solutions offered in the Gita are so universal and current that even today it is used as a personal transformation guide. In today's talk on Bhagavad Gita, chapter 6, verse 19, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) presents the concept of remembrance visualization. The remembrance visualization of an individual indicates the images a person sees to illustrate an idea. For example, if a person hears the word "happiness" he may think of a smiling face or a warm home -- whatever makes him happy. Nithyananda tells us that if we can transform our remembrance visualization to that of the master, we can rise to his level of consciousness also. He gives us a meditation to align with Krishna's resemblance visualization: imagining a lamp in a windless place. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- I welcome you all with my love and respects. In Bhagavad Gita, 6th Chapter, Dhyana Yoga, 19th verse. yathaa deepo nivaatasthaha nengate sopamaa smrutaa | yogino yata-chittasya yunjato yoga-maat-manaha || The translation: The similarity of a lamp that does not get agitated in a windless place is remembered for a yogi who has subdued his thoughts, patterns and is absorbed in uniting with the Self. Wow! Bhagawan is using an example. Similarity of a lamp that does not get agitated in a windless place is remembered for a yogi who has subdued his thought, patterns and is absorbed in a meditative state in uniting with the Self. See, in your life, you will have something called resemblance visualization. Even if you remember a lamp, windless place, your mind settles. There are some visualizations- 'yasya smarana maatrena jenma samsaara bandhanaat.' Just by remembrance you are liberated. This is one of that type of visualization. See, in your life, you will have something called resemblance visualization. Please understand, the word I am coining 'resemblance visualization' means when I utter the word 'peace' you will remember some place where you had really peace in your life. When I say violence you will remember some place which you have seen in violence in your place. I tell you, my resemblance visualizations, some of my resemblance visualizations, I tell you. Whenever I utter the word 'Guru Bhakthi' my resemblance visualization will be always the Arunagiri Yogeeswara's Samadhi and the place outside the Arunagiri Yogeeswara's Samadhi in Arunachaleswara temple. Whenever I utter the word 'peace', always, in Belur Mutt Ramakrishna's temple is there. Outside the temple on the banks of Ganges, walking. Whenever I utter the word 'Guru Bhakthi', this is the spot will come to my memory. (photo is shown) Whenever I utter the word 'peace', the Belur Mutt temple, Sri Ramakrishna's temple. Outside the temple in the banks of Ganges I used to walk in the evenings. That is the most peaceful moments I have experienced in my life. Sometimes I will walk more than one or two hours, I will not remember I am carrying the body. I have just disappeared into that beautiful tall temple and the flowing Ganga and that green lawn. For that one hour or two hour, I know only one thing; the temple exists, lawn exists, Ganga exists. That's all. Whenever I remember the power, I always remember the tip of Arunachala Hill. Whenever I remember peace, I remember only this place. (photo is shown). And whenever I remember power I remember the top, the edge of Arunachala Hill. That is the expression of the power -- the big bang. When MahaDeva stood as a light shaft, the top of the Arunachala Hill. So understand, the resemblance visualizations you are carrying in your life defines the quality of life you lived. When I utter the word 'violence' I remember only the holocaust museum in Washington, D.C. which I saw. Ofcourse, before I saw the museum I never used to have any resemblance visualization for violence. But when I saw that museum I really melted. That moment I took a decision. Hindus have suffered more than this. May be a million Jews were killed. But only in Kashmir more than few million Hindus have been killed, massacred. I don't know exactly how many number of Jews have died. But I know, how many millions of Hindus have been persecuted due to their religious belief, the religious persecution. And I decided we will have Hindu holocaust museum. Anyhow, the resemblance visualization plays a major role in raising the quality of your consciousness. Whenever I utter the word 'controlling' I only remember the school to which, once in a while I used to go. Because there it was too controlling. I tell you, if you want to really, really, really enjoy a Master, as Jesus says "Drink the Master", you need to understand His resemblance visualizations.
TALKS FROM MORNING SATSANG ON SEPTEMBER 17, 2012 AT TIRUVANNAMALAI ASHRAM, INDIA Bhagavad Gita (Song of God) is a timeless treatise on the essence of living enlightenment. The Gita was imparted by the enlightened Hindu incarnation Sri Krishna to the warrior-prince Arjuna over 5000 years ago. Amazingly, the spiritual wisdom and life solutions offered in the Gita are so universal and current that even today it is used as a personal transformation guide. In today's talk on Bhagavad Gita, chapter 6, verse 18, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) gives us a technique to identify our prarabdha karma. Prarabdha is the portion of our karma which we chose to balance during this lifetime. Nithyananda instructs us to meditate on the gap between each of our thoughts. Within that gap lies the emotion which generated the thought. When we identify the emotion, we can fulfill the karma associated with it. For example, if we long for some experience, is the longing generated by desire, fear, or the wish to help others? Understanding what motivates us makes it possible to act accordingly: renounce desire, transcend fear, or fulfill our wish to help humanity. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- CATCH THE SOURCE OF YOUR THOUGHTS! Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6, verse 18 17 Sep 2012 yadaa viniyatam cittam aatmanye-vaava-tishtate | nisspruhas-sarva-kaamebhyaha yukta ityuch-yate tadaa || When one has restrained the thought patterns and is free from the longing for all desires and remains absorbed in oneself, then he is experiencing the higher consciousness. I tell you, every human being has to spend little time in experiencing higher consciousness especially before entering into the life, before 21. Even incarnations, see the life of Parasurama, see the life of Sri Krishna, see the life of Rama, Rama goes to Vashishta and learns Yogavaashishtam. Parasurama goes to Dattaatreya and learns the science of enlightenment. Krishna goes to Shandipa, learns the science of enlightenment. We have a unfortunate misunderstanding and fear, if our kids go to gurukkul and learn the science of enlightenment, they may just become sanyasis. Move out of life. No. Krishna did not move out of life. Rama did not move out of life. Parasurama did not move out of life. Parasurama was killing people left and right. Rama was ruling the country and what all Krishna did you know. None of them became sanyasis. Gurukkul is not a place where you are asked to move out of life. You are sharpened, prepared to move into the life. To catch your prarabdha. Understand this small story: One person had his computer, loaded various softwares, photoshop, windows, so many. He locked his house and went away for a trip, came back after two years. Unfortunately he forgot what all software he has in his computer. He got his computer back but he doesn't know what all softwares he has downloaded. He is trying to do different activities which he can't do the software which he has already downloaded. If he is trying to do a different activity other than the softwares available, he will never be successful. He can break his head and break his computer, break his keyboard, break his hard disk, break his mother board, break his computer table, break the house itself, but he can't be successful. You need to know, he needs to remember the softwares available in his computer. Only then he can do whatever activities he wants to. Only then he can even plan to download the softwares which does not have. I tell you, your body is your computer. Your long trip is your death and new birth. Your softwares are prarabdha. If you don't know your prarabdha you can neither achieve nor plan for your further future. You may be trying so many things. Nothing, nothing works out. I tell you, without the knowledge of prarabdha anything you try will never work out, sometimes it may work out like an accident not as a fulfillment. So, learning the science of the softwares available and learning to download the softwares from the internet, learning to upgrade yourself is what is usually done in gurukkuls. When you come back from the long trip, first your guru does is making you understand your prarabdha, the softwares which already exists in your computer. Then teaching you the science of downloading new softwares required to fulfill your life. If you want to do something new, the next upgrading your old softwares and finally supporting you to fulfill your prarabdha. Just like Buddhism, in Buddhism it is mandatory every human being goes through science of enlightenment before he enters regular life. Same way, every child should go through the science of enlightenment in Hinduism also before he enters the regular life. We need gurukkuls in every village. We need gurukkuls in every city. We need gurukkuls in every taluk teaching the science of enlightenment. Teaching the truths of enlightenment. When one has restrained the thought patterns and is free from the longing for all the desires
TALKS FROM MORNING SATSANG ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2012 IN TIRUVANNAMALAI, INDIA Bhagavad Gita (Song of God) is a timeless treatise on the essence of living enlightenment. The Gita was imparted by the enlightened Hindu incarnation Sri Krishna to the warrior-prince Arjuna over 5000 years ago. Amazingly, the spiritual wisdom and life solutions offered in the Gita are so universal and current that even today it is used as a personal transformation guide. In today's talk on Bhagavad Gita, chapter 6, verse 17, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) relates the four principles of enlightened lifestyle. The key to a godly life, free of pain, is to be diligent. Nithyananda defines diligence as an attitude of restraint and self-awareness. The four zones of diligence are eating, sleeping, judgment and relationship. We should eat only when physically hungry and sleep only when the body is falling asleep; we should exercise our decisions based on our own observations, not those of others, and initiate stable relationships founded on affection, not imagination. This is the lifestyle of enlightenment. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- I welcome you all with my love and respects. Today we are starting the Nirahara samyama 2nd level. Hundreds of people all over the world are starting the Nirahara samyama 2nd level and I am also starting my "THE Samyama". Yesterday whole day and night I felt as if I have done a mistake. Yesterday I ate little solid food. I really felt 'Oh God!' Something like the body was not settling.. Then I decided, come on! Now body is back to Nirahara frequency. No more aahaaraa. No more food. Continuously the brahmacharya kriya requests are pouring from all over the world. So many want to become brahmacharis. Then why do you guys are sitting in your house and destroying your family? God! 6th chapter Dhyana yoga 17th verse. yuktaahaara vihaarasya yukta ceshtasya karmasu yukta svapnaavabodhasya yogo bhavati dukhaha One who is diligent in eating food or in enjoyment, please understand, one who is diligent means only the quantity needed for your body not needed for your tongue. One who is diligent in eating means do not allow your tongue to make decisions. Most of your time, in your eating your body does not play any role. Only your visualization, you visualize that dosa, soft idli, the moment you visualize, your eyes visualization, your nose smell, your tongue taste, come on, come on, get, get, get. Your body says, no, no, no, I don't need. Body has no hunger. Then mind comes, no, no, you don't know. Now if you don't eat you will feel hungry after 3-4 hours. That time I will be travelling. I will be taking class. I will be in the program. I am telling you, usually argument goes on. This is the way it will be. For you it will be different. It will say, Hey! After few hours you will not find a hotel. You will not find food. Now itself eat. But the moment you sit in front of the plate, you lost the game. A sadhu who falls in the bed with opposite gender and a sadhu who falls in front of a food plate is one and the same. The moment your mind comes in and justifies and you sit in front of the plate, Over! Your life is destroyed. Let your eating be based on body means let the visualizations not instigate you. Especially these non-veg people, the moment they see the photograph of that chicken, all these, that, that's it. For Andhra people, this avakka ooruka, let your visualization not be a instigator or decision maker of your food. yuktaahaara vihaarasya yukta ceshtasya karmasu Diligent in eating. Please understand, the word diligent means 3 things. 1. Let your visualization or smelling capacity, one more thing, please understand, just like the moment you are able to visualize, your other senses respond. For example, if you visualize food, your tongue responds. If you visualize the opposite gender your body responds. If your senses respond due to your visualization it is called perversion. Same way the moment you visualize certain food, your nostrils, your nose responds, means feels its smell. Your nose feels the smell. Dangerous. When your smell gets into the perversion, please understand, sometimes certain perfume smell can immediately instigate the feeling of food or feeling of lust in you. It is unfortunate the perversions become decision makers in your life. I tell you, when your body wants food and you eat, it will be diligent. When your body feels the lust, if you unite, it will be embodiment of love. Without the second layer instigator, if you decide, it will always lead you to fulfillment. Trupti. Unfortunately, all your major decisions are by the pervasion. Understand, this is a very... if you are a boss and making decisions based on different fellows' inputs, you will live like an orphan even in the old age. Nobody will be there around you. Neither you would have built professional relationships nor built personal relationships. Blessed are those who can build both relationships.
TALKS FROM MORNING SATSANG ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2012 IN TIRUVANNAMALAI, INDA Bhagavad Gita (Song of God) is a timeless treatise on the essence of living enlightenment. The Gita was imparted by the enlightened Hindu incarnation Sri Krishna to the warrior-prince Arjuna over 5000 years ago. Amazingly, the spiritual wisdom and life solutions offered in the Gita are so universal and current that even today it is used as a personal transformation guide. In today's talk on Bhagavad Gita, chapter 6, verse 16, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) unveils the Middle Path for spiritual seekers. Both the extreme of self-indulgence, eating and sleeping too much, and the extreme of self-abnegation, fasting in constant suffering and torturing oneself with sleeplessness, prevent us from achieving yoga -- union with the Divine. Moderation in every activity is the path to liberation. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- I welcome all of you with my love and blessings. Today successfully we are ending the Nirahara Samyama Level 3. After a long time, I am also completing. We are ending the Nirahara Samyama Level 3. But immediately I am starting 'THE Samyama'. Formally I take little bit of Venkateswara's prasadam like a sign of completing the Nirahara Samyama level 3 and today I will give you all, whoever is completing Nirahara samyama level 3, all of them little bit of Venkateswara's prasadam. All of you guys can complete the Nirahara samyama level 3 and start eating. But I am going to continue 'THE Samyama' from today. I am also planning to work on my body. Within next 6 months, I feel I can taper down, even this juice which I am taking liquid, even that I will taper down and become a complete Nirahari. Without even water or any liquid, just to give a statement about the yogic powers, not to be pride of or egoistic about me, what is there? There is nothing. Even if I eat nothing, if I don't eat also, nothing. Just to give inspiration to all you guys about the yogic powers. Just to tell you guys that it is possible. Still it is possible. We have not lost the science. The science is available. Whether you are available or not is the only question. But, the science is still available to the world. Every incarnation proves all yogic and spiritual sciences are still alive and available. When I land on the planet earth, the first statement I make is, "Hey! Still I am alive and available." All the yogic sciences and spiritual sciences, inner sciences are available and alive. Now only you have to decide whether you are alive or not, whether you are available to it or not. I have one more good news. From yesterday, I made myself available on Facebook also. I was only available in Twitter earlier. Yesterday, I started putting messages on Facebook. SriNithyananda.Swami- that's the ID. SriNithyananda.Swami. From today, morning satsang will be called as Nithya Satsang and this means we will have satsang every day without missing even a single day. Till now, 118 requests for Brahmacharya kriya has come. Still more continuously calls and emails are coming. So, because of that I am postponing the Brahmacharya kriya for one or two days. And I also need to end the satsang little early for next 3 -- 4 days because of Malaysia NSP and Tiruvannamalai NSP. So after the Malaysia and Tiruvannamalai NSP, I will share the Brahmacharya kriya with you all. Because I have to sit and teach the whole one and half hours. And I wanted all the people who are going to practice this on 2-way. Let us start today's satsang. In Bhagavad Gita, 6th chapter, Dhyana yoga, 16th verse. naatyash-natastu yogosthi na chai-kaanta-manashnataha | na caathi svapna-sheelasya jaagrato naiva chaarjuna || In every respect, o'Arjuna, neither the one who eats too much or the one who refrains from eating, and neither the one who is sleepy nor the one who is sleepless reach the state of intense action and perfection. See the sutra, exactly on the day when we are completing the Nirahara samyama. It is almost like the timing is so perfect with Krishna. That is why I say, you can never call these great Masters in past tense. See, it is exactly telling, today, for ordinary human beings, neither eating too much nor eating nothing, neither sleeping too much nor non-sleeping, both extremes are not right. Please understand, when I say Nirahara, it is not that I make you completely without eating. I make your body receive the energy directly from the ether. So it is totally different. When you become complete Nirahari, the state you achieve is totally different from what Bhagawan calls here. So, in 6 months I am also going to completely stop eating. I am slowly tapering down. But that does not mean I am doing something against what Bhagawan is saying. No. Bhagawan is giving a certain example because there are some people who stop eating and stop sleeping out of their ego and to get attention from others. My Niraharis don't even remember. They just live.

Now Bhagawan is in the mode of blessing. After giving a strong instructions; Usually I do that. If I give a strong dose, then I call that person, "ok ok don't worry " and give one hug and say "alright, alright" . No, if that person is receptive. He receives that firing and really feels I should transform. so bhagawan is in the blessing mode. Beautifully he blesses. mat samsthaa madhigacchati He becomes immersed in me. I tell you, This is the greatest blessing you can receive. When "I say I will be with you", Don't believe. When I say "You will be with me", believe only that word. I will be with you for the whole world. But you will be with me is the real thing. Understand I am telling you, Wealth, Health, name and fame, life, body, mind, joy, pleasure -- When you ask, I will give all these things. But, whom I really really love, Somebody whom I really love, who has served his whole life dedicating himself or herself completely to me, If they come to me and ask me personally, "Swamiji, What is the best thing you know in the universe? Can you give me that ?" I tell you, I promise, I will give this only -- What Bhagawan calls as "Matsamstha madhigachyate." Being immersed in me. Nothing! Nothing is equivalent to this. Great saint, Tirunavukkarasar swamigal, from south india, even when he was put in prison, illegal imprisonment is the eternal law for incarnations, at least few days they are made to suffer.
TALKS FROM MORNING SATSANG ON SEPTEMBER 13, 2012 IN TIRUVANNAMALAI, INDIA Bhagavad Gita (Song of God) is a timeless treatise on the essence of living enlightenment. The Gita was imparted by the enlightened Hindu incarnation Sri Krishna to the warrior-prince Arjuna over 5000 years ago. Amazingly, the spiritual wisdom and life solutions offered in the Gita are so universal and current that even today it is used as a personal transformation guide. In today's talk on Bhagavad Gita, chapter 6, verse 14, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) describes the spiritual effect of brahmacharyam (sacred celibacy). Brahmacharis embody intense clarity and focus, enabling them to complete any project or practice flawlessly. As the internal energy rises beyond the first chakra, it establishes fearlessness (2nd chakra) and then permanent serenity (3rd chakra). Each chakra flowers in turn, culminating with the crown chakra, which grants enlightenment.

Amazingly, the spiritual wisdom and life solutions offered in the Gita are so universal and current that even today it is used as a personal transformation guide. In today's talk on Bhagavad Gita, chapter 6, verse 14, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) emphasizes the importance of celibacy as a lifestyle for all spiritual seekers. He gives specific physical reasons why sexual activity prevents the accurate awakening of kundalini energy and why it impedes the journey to enlightenment. To reprogram our biomemories we must transform all primitive actions which bind to our former animal lives. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- Today, Nirahara samyama successfully happening 9th day. Today we are starting Nirahara Samyama level 1 4th batch. prashaan-taatmaa vigata-bheehi brahma-chaarivrate sthitaha | manaha samyamya macchittaha yukta aaseetha matparaha || Being serene with oneself, abstaining from apprehensions, having subdued the thoughts, intent on the vow of living like a God, following the vow of celibacy, intensely reflecting on Me, live your life devoted to Me. In this verse, Bhagawan breaks one of the important sacred secret/truth to the humanity. He uses the word 'brahmacharya'- living like a God. Just because I have the Rishi sampradaya also, does not mean I accept this concept of marriage in the life of a seeker. I am making it very clear. I am putting it very clear. Worst thing can happen to a seeker, in the spiritual life is marriage, I know, I am going to break thousands of peoples' ignorance. Understand as a compassionate being I have to give a place for everybody. Tolerated is different, accepted is different, realized is different. Marriage in the seekers' life is tolerated. Rishi order is accepted. But only brahmacharya is promoted. Whenever you go to the peak based on body you get back to your animal bio-memory and again it takes atleast a few years of spiritual practice for you to raise to the level of divine. It is very rare I speak about the importance of brahmacharya because sometime it puts the householders into depression. But just because they fall into depression I cannot be hiding the sacred truths for quite a long time. No. It is time I have decided I am going to speak about it completely. Let me define brahmacharya as per the smruti. Karmanaa manachaa vaachaa sarvaavastu sarvadaa Sarvatra maidyatvyahu brahmacharyam prachakshyadet Brahmacharya is defined as abstinence from sexual intercourse in thought, word and deed in all conditions and places and times. Brahmacharyena tapasa devaa mrutyum ubagnataha This is the Atharva veda's definition. The Gods are said to have conquered death by brahmacharya. Tantra speaks about brahmacharya, understand. I will give you some more references. Jnana Sankalini Tantra : nathapas tapayithi ahuhu brahmacharyam tapottamam oordvaretwa bhavet yastu sadhevonatu maanushaahaa The true tapas is brahmacharya and he who practices it uninterruptedly is divine not human. Now let me come to the practical side of it. Understand, already one-third of your life is gone in search of food, one-third has gone in sleep, in the remaining one-third, till 25 too busy with education, after 65, body and mind won't be useful to do anything, then between 25 and 65, that 40 years, if you get married also, gone. Seeking is building the new consciousness for you to take a jump. It is like building an airport. How an airport runway is necessary for an aircraft to take off, brahmacharya body is necessary for you to take off into enlightenment, into the planes of consciousness, into the space of consciousness. One of the main reasons, Hinduism stopped being the tradition of living stream, as a head of the oldest Hindu monastery, as a representative of the Hindu tradition, I am making this statement as self-introspection and self-criticism. It is very, very, very unfortunate that Hindu tradition is not remaining as a living stream of enlightened beings. I can say, there are enlightened beings. There are few incarnations but unfortunately Hinduism lost the streams of living Masters, the streams which guarantees the production of living Master. The organization or sangas, which guarantees atleast a few hundred living Masters are continuously available from that source to the planet earth. I can guarantee you, in Tibetian Buddhist tradition, at any given point, one thousand living Masters are there, enlightened masters. I can guarantee you, Japanese Zen tradition, at any given time, hundred living Masters are there, minimum. I cannot guarantee you, in Hinduism there is any organization which can guarantee minimum hundred living masters at any given time.
TALKS FROM MORNING SATSANG ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2012 IN MADURAI, INDIA Bhagavad Gita (Song of God) is a timeless treatise on the essence of living enlightenment. The Gita was imparted by the enlightened Hindu incarnation Sri Krishna to the warrior-prince Arjuna over 5000 years ago. Amazingly, the spiritual wisdom and life solutions offered in the Gita are so universal and current that even today it is used as a personal transformation guide. In today's talk on Bhagavad Gita, chapter 6, verses 13 & 14, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) presents Sri Krishna's exact instructions for the posture we should use to meditate. Clear details are provided for the physical, mental and spiritual attitudes we should cultivate to properly engage the meditative state. Nithyananda informs us that the pose Sri Krishna describes is the ideal position to experience ultimate samadhi (spiritual bliss). TRANSCRIPTIONS:- TECHNIQUE FOR SERENITY Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6, verses 13-14 11 Sep 2012 Let's enter into the morning satsang, in Bhagavad Gita, 6th Chapter, Dhyana Yoga, 13th verse. samam kaaya-shiro-greevam dhaarayan-nachalam sthiraha | samprekshya naasi-kaagram svam dishash-chaanava-lokayan || Holding the entire body, the neck and the head in a steady manner, look intensely at the tip of the nose without being distracted in any way. Again, it is a technique. Please understand, in vedic tradition, one thing is banned. Never ever to comment on the technique. Only on philosophies, commentaries can be written. Never on the technique. Techniques have to just have to be followed. So, I will only give you the instruction from this verse. samam kaaya-shiro-greevam dhaarayan-nachalam sthiraha | samprekshya naasi-kaagram svam dishash-chaanava-lokayan || Holding the entire body, the neck and the head in a steady manner, look intensely at the tip of the nose without being distracted in any way. Hold the entire body, the neck and the head in a steady manner, look intensely at the tip of the nose without being distracted in any way. Don't be distracted.. this is the most powerful posture, the asana, in which you can experience Samadhi. I can't comment on this verse at all. Because He is so precise, I can only instruct. Hold the entire body, the neck and the head in a steady manner, look intensely at the tip of the nose. The next sloka is also connected to this verse. So I will give the instructions from the next verse also. In Bhagavad Gita, 6th Chapter, Dhyana Yoga, 14th verse. prashaan-taatmaa vigata-bheehi brahma-chaarivrate sthitaha | manaha samyamya macchittaha yukta aaseetha matparaha || Being serene within oneself, abstaining from apprehension, having subdued from the thoughts, intent on the vow of living like a God, intensely reflecting on Me, live your life, devoted to Me. More than this, no direct instruction can be given by any incarnation for the human beings to save themselves. It is like a manual to save yourself. If the fellow who is struggling in the water says, "eh! Why should I follow your instruction" then what to do? The instructions are for you to save yourself. "Why? Why should I follow? Are you the savior or what? You are God or what?" then die, what to do? Instructions are for you to save yourself. Not for the captain to feel he is a big guy. So all of you understand, such a clear instruction, being serene within oneself, means stop having agitated mind. Agitated mind breaks your health now, brings hell in the old age; abstaining from apprehensions means free from the fear and greed. Having subdued the thoughts - having the reduced number of thoughts, beautifully Bhagawan uses the word, brahma-chaarivrate , following the vow of celibacy, intensely reflecting on me live your life devoted to me. On this word, brahmacharya, I wanted to conduct a complete full satsang, may be 2-3 satsangs continuously. So I will speak on this verse from tomorrow.

TALKS FROM MORNING SATSANG ON SEPTEMBER 10, 2012 IN KODAIKANAL, INDIA In today's morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda presents an herbal discovery to his followers. While visiting his pontifical seat at Madurai Adheenam, he learned of a siddha medicine (ancient herbal medicine tradition from South India) called kadukka podi which purifies the blood and increases oxygen transport. Preliminary investigation has indicated that oxygen levels in the bloodstream may be elevated by 300% above normal. Nithyananda advises his disciples to take the herb daily in the recommended maintenance dose as soon as it can be made available to them. Anyone with medical problems should first check with their doctor.

TALKS FROM MORNING SATSANG ON SEPTEMBER 10, 2012 IN KODAIKANAL, INDIA In today's satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda explains the origin of the name Bidadi. Bidadi is the village next to Nithyananda's main ashram, near the South Indian city of Bangalore. When the maharajas (kings) of Mysore (about 4 hours' travel by car from Bangalore) decided to establish a royal seat in Bangalore, they camped in the area where Bidadi lies now while their palace was constructed. Bidadi means "camp" or "temporary lodging". Nithyananda extends the metaphor of living in a "temporary lodging" to our entire life on Earth. We are just visitors here, borrowing a human body for a few decades. When remember that perspective, we grow more light-hearted and take our circumstances less seriously.

In an interview with the German publication Yoga Management Magazine, Paramahamsa Nithyananda answers questions about his upcoming World Tour, November 2012 through January 2013. Awakening the World involves awakening our own inner potential energy so that we make a spontaneous leap into super-consciousness. He explains the natural phenomenon that has occurred, as the gravitational field of the Earth is gradually being reduced. This is not a disaster as many fear; rather it is an opportunity to become lighter in being. The reduced gravity affects mainly our thoughts: we have the potential to become more light-hearted and creative.

The meditation has not been a fast. It has been an opportunity to discover the freedom of not needing to eat to have a healthy life. This is only one of the extraordinary powers human beings acquire through meditation. As we follow Shiva's example in meditative practice, we develop our own divinity and become like God ourselves.

Nithyananda expands these words to include not only dusting the physical space before sitting, but also cleansing our inner space of agitation, craftiness and dishonesty. The inner space should be filled with spiritual acceptance. We withdraw from attention to external objects and sit in the silence of unclutching.

TALKS FROM MORNING SATSANG ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2012 IN KODAIKANAL, INDIA In today's morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) addresses Hinduism's need to return to its original spirituality. The fundamental practice of Upanishad, in which devotees sit in the presence of a Master and integrate the principles of meditation, is no longer transmitted as a central religious element among Hindus. Ideally, children learn this practice from their parents at an early age and carry the reverence they acquire into adulthood. Nithyananda points out that while non-Hindus are often forbidden to worship in Hindu temples, Hindus themselves may not be worshipping with the right spiritual understanding. He recommends that Hindus return to the Vedic roots of their spirituality. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- It is so unfortunate that whole Hinduism lost this Upanishad. Buddhism is still able to create more and more enlightened beings just because they held on to that one truth "Zazen". Zazen means just sitting. It is so unfortunate even the priests in the South Indian Temples are standing and doing Pooja. So this idea of sitting is completely lost. Above the Mahakal, if you see all temples will be sitting and doing Pooja. Below Mahakal, all will be standing and doing Pooja. It is unfortunate. You may think "What is there in sitting". You don't know. I tell you. You don't know -- power of sitting. By sitting, sitting, you will learn how to be sitting with aloneness "Rahasistitaha, Aatmanam rahasistitaha". That is why, in Hindu tradition, the highest practice is called Upanishad. The highest preaching is called Upanishad. Even the place where the teaching is transmitted is called seat. Peeta. Understand. So much of importance was given to sitting. I tell you. If you learn sitting, sitting, sitting, you will easily pick-up this sitting with yourself. The Upanishad. If I have my own way, I will really tell all our Ashrams and centers, have furniture and chairs only for the people who cannot sit on the floor. Elders or who are sick or handicapped. Even to all our devotees, I give this as a spiritual instruction. Only when you are not feeling well, when you can't sit on the floor, use furniture. Otherwise even in the house have furniture for the visitors. But when you all guys sit, all you guys sit on the floor. You don't know, this habit of sitting on the floor will slowly help you to sit with yourself. Upanishad. So in 11 days you can catch that Upanishad samyama. In Buddhism they have a very beautiful way. They will just gaze at the wall, facing the wall they will sit and gaze. No thoughts allowed. Just sit. Bodhi dharma sat in Upanishad for 12 years gazing the wall. Now after all, all you guys, Niraharis, you may need to move your head away from the wall may be 3 times a day for juice. I really wanted Hinduism to get back to that truth of Upanishad. It is so sad when I went to Nepal this time, in Katmandu I saw 82 percent Hindu population, only 5 percent budhist population but go in any street, you will find 10 buddhist monks going around. You will not find a single Hindu monk. It is so sad. You guys lost all the spiritual wealth, you inherited. Why do you think your next generation is not becoming monks. Because it was never based on the spiritual inspiration. You can see those Buddhist monks highly educated, cultured working on the spiritual truths. The few hindu monks you will see that's also very few. One or two. Old beggars. In Katmandu, Pasupathinath temple asking for few penny. That's it. I take a vow in the name of Maha Kala and Maha Kali. Just through the akashic readings, inspiring and initiating I will create atleast 100 thousand sadhus, sanyasis. I mean youngsters, celibates living enlightenment and spreading enlightenment. Giving life to the vedic tradition. It is really unfortunate that these great spiritual heritage. In Zen monasteries, Buddhist monasteries, you can see thousands of monks sitting in Zazen for a whole day. Hats off to ISKON movement for making ajapa japa as a life style. They atleast brought that back. But one of the greatest heritage of Hinduism, vedic tradition the Upanishad. Neither gurus talk about it nor disciples practice. The general public do not even have confidence that Upanishad is possible in their life. In Hindiusm if you are a monk, you can't even survive unless you do some social service. I am not against social service. Just now I blessed the people who gave the money. I am going to send this and going to do social service. But that should not replace our mystical explorations. Unfortunately, in Hinduism the mystical exploring has been replaced by running schools, colleges and hospitals. Each person inspired about enlightenment is a diamond. His time and energy should be directed towards achieving the enlightenment and radiating the extraordinary experiences and powers of enlightenment.
Bhagavad Gita (Song of God) is a timeless treatise on the essence of living enlightenment. The TALKS FROM MORNING SATSANG ON SEPTEMGER 9, 2012 IN KODAIKANAL, INDIA Gita was imparted by the enlightened Hindu incarnation Sri Krishna to the warrior-prince Arjuna over 5000 years ago. Amazingly, the spiritual wisdom and life solutions offered in the Gita are so universal and current that even today it is used as a personal transformation guide. In today's talk on Bhagavad Gita, chapter 6, verse 10, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) speaks on Upanishad. This beautiful practice of sitting with the Master is the cornerstone of Vedic spirituality. NIthyananda gives a meditation technique to experience its essence. When we sit to meditate, our thoughts are often cluttered with distractions. Nithyananda advises us to sit with intentional focus on our distractions so that we purify them. On the first day we sit with our worries; on the second we eat until we are completely full, and then sleep deeply. By the third day we've exhausted our interferences and can begin to drop into the sweet silence of Upanishad. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- Bhagavad Gita -- 6th Chapter -- Verse 10: Dhyana Yoga Yogi Yunjeeta satatam aatmaanam rahasi sthitaha Ekaaki yata -- citaatmaa niraasheera -- parigrahaha The Jeevan Mukta having subdued his thoughts and identity being free from desires with an attitude of renunciation seated within oneself in aloneness should continuously connect with the higher consciousness by unclutching. I will continue on the same verse. Yogi Yunjeeta satatam: Subdued his thoughts and identity atmaanam rahasi sthitaha: with an attitude of renunciation Please understand. Seated within oneself in aloneness; atmaanam rahasisthitaha: Sitting just with atma. The pure self. Just within yourself. I feel so joyful to talk on these verses because these verses are the exact path I walked. Understand it is like a once you become enlightened you know all the paths. You can teach all the paths. All the knowledge about all the paths are revealed to you, available to you. But you always have a special affiliation to the path in which you travelled. I am so happy to teach these verses, because these are the verses, I will sit and read may be 12 or 13 even after my enlightenment. Because the enlightenment happened in me as an experience. I myself wanted to know what all the steps I walked through to achieve that experience. So, like an explosion it has happened. So now I needed to know without my knowledge what all the steps I walked through. I never read this verse atmaanam rahasisthitaha means seated within oneself in aloneness. But I always used to practice this. I always sit with Arunachala with the hill. This is the usual posture. Not for 10 minutes, half-an-hour. Please don't mistake. From sunrise to sunset. Without feeling like getting up. Not that I will have a thought. Oh let me get up and then I will try to control myself. No. Just sitting and gazing. The greatest blessing I received from my mind and my body is only initial convincing I need to do. That's all. After that never ever it disturbs. This Nirahara Samyama. Very casual like a sports . Very sportively I started. Only 1st day I need to convince. By the time evening kala Bairava Dharshan, the body was ready. From 2nd day, I don't even remember about food. Over. It is the best body and mind to live with. Please understand. You also need to understand this truth. Now so many of you are doing Nirahara Samyama. Means the living, hunger free. So many of you, hundreds of you are doing "The Samyama". If you don't even feel after tomorrow noon "I am going to eat solid food", if you don't even feel, I tell you, your bio-memory is the best bio-memory to live with. If you feel, but you also feel, "Ah, I may feel but I am not going to eat. I am going to live", then your bio-memory is friend for you. But if you feel "No, no, these are all not for me. I think I have already done too much. This 21 day itself is too much. Ah. It's Ok, Ok", then your bio-memory is your enemy. See, actually you feeling "this 21 days is too much for me" all these is just your own decision about yourself. Stop this your own decision about yourself. Allow my decision about yourself as your life. I also wanted to announce one more thing. The "The Samyamites" all of them have contributed Rs.89000 for the Sivakasi relief work to all the people who are affected. Along with this Rs.89,000 , I will give one more Lakh rupee and send it as Two Lakh rupee in your name, apart from the 50 Lakhs I am sending from Dhyanapeetam. So it will go as 52 Lakh. Not only that as a Swarnakarshana Bairava, I bless you guys whoever has contributed even 1 rupee, even 1 penny to this project, I bless you guys, you guys will never have fire accident in your life. You will be protected from fire and as Swarnakarshana Bairava, I bless you guys,

TRANSCRIPTIONS:- "Question - Dear Swamiji, is there such a thing as Objective Reality, or is the world nothing but a reflection of my perceptions? Can you also give me some signs to distinguish between reality and fantasy? - Nidhi, Vizag Nidhi, first thing you need to know whatever you understand as reality - the dimensions like a size, shape, quality, your association of good & bad with it - all that - even one quality does not exist in objective reality. Please understand if you think this is wall, this is not wall, whatever you understand -- why this wall, what this wall does, how it looks, what it is, who built, is it good for me, bad for me, all concepts you have about the wall is not there actually on the wall. So In a way I can say there is no such thing as objective reality and there is something called objective reality. There is no such thing as objective reality is also true. There is objective reality is also true. Understand, I tell you there is no such thing as objective reality because anything you see, you perceive -- does not exist as you perceive. And I tell you there is objective reality. Why you know? because you may be liberated from this wall, but the other person who is not liberated, will continue to see this wall as objective reality. Because of that I tell objective reality exists. But I tell you for you objective reality does not exist. So the right truth objective reality does not exist for you, but the objective reality exists for the objects you see in objective reality. But as the objective reality does not exist for you itself, how can the objects you see in the objective reality is objective reality, can be objective reality for you? Listen to the statement again - as the objective reality which you perceived itself is not an objective reality for you, then, how can the objects you perceive in the objective reality can have the objective reality which you perceive as the objective reality which is not a objective reality ? So what you know as reality is nothing but the perversion of your fantasy. What you know as fantasy is nothing but the perversion of your reality. When you go beyond what you know as reality and fantasy you see "yen" reality which is eNreality. In enlightened reality there is no space for fantasy reality - reality based fantasy, fantasy based reality. Fantasy based reality is deities. Reality based fantasy is theme parks. Reality based reality is enlightened reality. Fantasy based fantasy is your dreams. The reality based reality awakens in you when you understand neither reality based fantasies and fantasy based realities and reality-reality does not lead you to reality. The reality-reality, fantasy-fantasy, fantasy-reality, reality-fantasy is all finally your reality fantasy leading you from fantasy reality to reality fantasy. Finally, only when you drop everything the reality- reality expresses itself beyond reality!

TRANSCRIPTIONS:- Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 6: Dhyana Yoga, 10th Verse Sept 8, 2012 Yogee yunjeeta satatam aatmaanam rahasisthitah l Ekaakee yatachittaatmaa niraasheeraparigrahah ll The one who feels the same towards an affectionate person, a friend, an enemy, the indifferent, the neutral, the hateful one, the unfriendly, the noble one or a sinner! Yogee yunjeeta satatam aatmaanam rahasisthitah l Ekaakee yatachittaatmaa niraasheeraparigrahah ll The translation: The contemplative sage, saint having subdued his thoughts and character, his identity being free from desires with an attitude of renunciation, seated within oneself in aloneness, should continuously connect with the higher consciousness by unclutching. The Jeevan Mukta having subdued his thoughts and character, identity, being free from desires with an attitude of renunciation, seated within oneself in aloneness, should continuously connect with the higher consciousness by unclutching. Now Bhagavan actually enters into the straight technique of unclutching. Yogee yunjeeta satatam aatmaanam rahasisthitah - Having subdued his thoughts and identity being free from desires! I tell you, subduing identity, subduing thoughts anybody can do. It is not a big thing, I tell you. Thoughts can be reduced very easily with any simple technique. I know one sadhu. I have seen him day-in and day-out in Rishikesh. Whole day the only work he will do is wash his Kamandalu, the water pot. It will be just shining. But you know the most funny thing? He has less thoughts, very less thoughts. His only focus is that his Kamandalu should not become dirty. His water pot should not be dirty. That's where everything stops. Any simple technique, even technique like washing your water pot can bring your thoughts down. That's not a big thing! Subduing the identity means thoughts are food, identity is person who eats. Who eats should be subdued not just the food. The identity grows, expands with thought. Reducing thoughts is not a big thing. Actually, without touching the identity, reducing the thoughts is very easy. I have seen a yogi standing on his one leg for more than 12 years, in Kumbhamela during my Parivrajaka time. He really had a very reduced thought state. But unfortunately the attention people give because of his Tapas has made his identity swollen like his leg, one leg, on which he was standing. One leg on which he was standing was swollen, same way because the attention he enjoys from people, his identity was swollen. It is very easy to have less number of thoughts, if your identity is getting more and more boosting. If the identity is not touched, it is very easy to have less number of thoughts. When the identity is touched, almost like a honey comb, how if the honey comb is touched, the bees come out, like that thoughts come out. I have seen many of my ashramites. They will really be having very less thoughts, calm, composed. Just poke at their identity once. People whom they don't like or there is a hatred, just one word from that person like a honey comb -- Buzzzzz! All the thoughts will come up. The whole puss will come out. If your identity is not touched, having less number of thoughts is not a big thing. Once Kuppammal, my Mentor and Guru, she was really worthy of that word - Vibhuthanandapuri. She told me "You need to learn to drop the identity". 15 year old boy, what will I understand? I said "You tell me what I should do, I will do". She gave me a begging bowl and told me "Go around and beg all over the city and come back". My grandfather, he is a big guy in that village. So, till death he was the head of the rice merchants' association. See, rice is the biggest business in that area. For 3 states that one city supplies rice.
TALKS FROM MORNING SATSANG ON SEPTEMBER 7, 2012 IN KODAIKANAL, INDIA Bhagavad Gita (Song of God) is a timeless treatise on the essence of living enlightenment. The Gita was imparted by the enlightened Hindu incarnation Sri Krishna to the warrior-prince Arjuna over 5000 years ago. Amazingly, the spiritual wisdom and life solutions offered in the Gita are so universal and current that even today it is used as a personal transformation guide. In today's talk on Bhagavad Gita, chapter 6, verse 9, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) reveals the layers of collective consciousness and how the world reflects them. Humans have potential to create three kinds of lifestyle, depending on their level of awareness. When society is dominated by the collective subconscious, it creates a money-chasing lifestyle ruled by greed. When collective unconscious has control over society, it evolves a lifestyle based on power and ruled by fear. Once we become aware of our greed and fear, and release them, we transform to a freedom-based system of independent thinking and individual responsibility. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- Bhagavad Gita -- 6th chapter, DhyanaYoga, 9th verse Suhrun-mitraar-yudaaseena madhyastha-dveshya-bandhushu l Saadhush-vapi cha paapeshu samabuddhir-vishishyate ll The Translation: The one who feels the same towards an affectionate person, a friend and enemy, the indifferent, the neutral, the hateful one, the unfriendly, the noble one or a sinner is said to be established in a superior state. Understand these few basic sacred secrets. Meditation is not an action. It is a lifestyle. That is why in the chapter on Meditation, Bhagvan is talking about all these things. You can never start meditating, you can only become meditative. Understand, there is a vast difference between starting meditation or becoming meditative. Meditation is not a Anacin, Metacin, Antidepressant. No! Meditation is not Anacin, Metacin, Antidepressant. Please understand, meditation cannot be just repairing something in you. It has to completely transform you. Meditating is different; being meditative is different. In this verse Bhagavan is very clear; your whole life should become meditative. The whole life should become meditative. Yesterday he was addressing objects, yesterday Bhagavan was saying, explaining in the last verse, how not to be disturbed by objects. Now Bhagavan is going to the next step, how not to be disturbed by the persons. Actually the seventh, eighth, ninth verses of Bhagavad Gita, these three verses can become a powerful samyama. First he has given us the technique to work with cold, heat, unpleasant, pleasant situations. Then he took us to the next level working with the fear-based mental setup and greed-based mental setup where you are free from the concept of greed. Now he is taking us to the next level, where he is making us free from the concept of higher, lower human beings. First he liberates us from atmosphere, weather, outer/inner. Outer is heat and cold. Inner is pleasant, unpleasant. Then he liberates us from the greed, objects. Sama loshtashma kanchanah -- where you are free from cold; time and/or mud or a stone. He is making us free from the greed based patterns, greed. Now he is liberating us from human beings, sufferings that can be caused by human beings. How when you drink more and more honey, only then you understand and enjoy it, same way only I am enjoying this Bhagavad Gita. Understand, through this verse, Bhagavan is liberating us from fear-based system. Yesterday itself I spoke on fear-based, greed-based, both the systems. But yesterday's verse, Bhagavan's Bhagavad Gita verse was talking only about the greed. Sama loshtashma kanchanah. He was only talking about having impartiality between mud, stone or Gold. Today he talks about the power-based system, human beings, power-based systems. Please understand, power-based system is a product of human unconsciousness, greed-based system is a product of human sub-consciousness. Understand, power-based system is product of collective human un-consciousness; greed-based system is product of collective human sub-consciousness. You may ask 'what is the difference?' Unconscious means completely, the parts of which you are not unaware ( should be 'aware' ? ) but you try to make it aware, without awakening that unconscious into the super-conscious. Everybody has the feeling to become Lord of the Universe. You can become if you make your unconscious into conscious and super-conscious. When you make your unconscious into conscious, you will become Lord of you. When you raise that to super-conscious, you will be the Lord of whatever is in your space. More than the word Lord, I will use, you be in tune with the whole. This is the right way of becoming Lord of the Universe. But instead you try to become a power center through political power. I tell you even in the school, the class leader is nothing but political power!
TALKS FROM MORNING SATSANG ON SEPTEMBER 6, 2012 AT KODAIKANAL, INDIA Bhagavad Gita (Song of God) is a timeless treatise on the essence of living enlightenment. The Gita was imparted by the enlightened Hindu incarnation Sri Krishna to the warrior-prince Arjuna over 5000 years ago. Amazingly, the spiritual wisdom and life solutions offered in the Gita are so universal and current that even today it is used as a personal transformation guide. In today's talk on Bhagavad Gita, chapter 6, verse 8, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) describes the essence of being sadhu. The classical definition of sadhu is one who has renounced all attachments and lives in a state of holy wandering. Nithyananda tells us that we can broaden this understanding for the new millennium. To save humanity, we must all relinquish our support of money-based and power-based systems, which have created greed, corruption and violence. Once we change our values to base our lives on personal self-worth and spiritual freedom, we can live like sadhus even in the material world. Our transformation will create the 21st century consciousness on Planet Earth. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- 6th chapter Dhyana yoga 8th verse Jnana Vijnaana Truptaatmaa Kootastho vijitendriyaha Yukta ityuchyate yogi sama-losh-taashma-kaanchanaha 'The one who is fulfilled with the awakening of consciousness and intelligence, who remains firmly established by overcoming the patterns, who is intense and who views with impartiality whether it is a lump of mud, a stone or gold, is said to be united. means achieved the ultimate'. Now Bhagawan is straight landing on the root patterns of the mind. Understand, let me repeat the sacred secrets in this verse..'One who is fulfilled with the awakening of conscious and intelligence, who remains firmly established by overcoming all the patterns, who is intense and who views with impartiality whether it is lump of mud, a stone or gold'. Bhagawan is hitting at the root of ignorance. Please understand, What is really taking us away from being centered on contentment? What is it that takes your contentment away? The idea of MONEY! You feel somebody has more than you. So only when you have more and more, you will be able to do what you want. Only that leads to contentment. That is the idea of money. What is idea of money? Who makes gold valuable? Who makes dollar currency valuable? Again, it is the law established. Please understand, it is not always greed, you can say, may be Gold, people have started becoming greedy because of that color and shining and all that. What about currency? Why people become greedy? Because of the law established. The fear created. The commonly accepted - Please understand, commonly accepted mutual ideas, Mutual understandings. In the beginning, when everybody wants gold, the king would have made a rule - This will be valued, because less available, more needed, then the loss evolved, the value, weight, sharing, giving, taking, holding. Then when the stealing has started, laws to punish the people who steel, everything has started evolving. Even now, what keeps the dollar's value? If you are not ready to do your trades on dollar, there is every possibility you will be attacked later on. Please understand, How the value of the currencies are added or reduced? How much is needed in the world? I have to talk, revealing the deeper secrets of the human mind, How the human mind functions, Who makes you believe you having the gold or having money currency in your bank balance is a security for you? The laws created. Why those laws stand alive? The Fear created. How the whole fear and the law is sustained? Again, based on the demand and supply. Why should law make Gold as an important thing? Because less supply more demand. Why the stones don't have value but the diamonds have value? Because less supply more demand. And I tell you, the diamond industries -- they try to keep the supply less, to keep the value high. If they open their whole market, what ever is available to the market, it will be less than stone. The value will be less than stone! What is the difference between a stone and diamond? Only one difference - Less supply more demand. Otherwise, there are more shining stones than diamond. It is not just shining makes it valuable. It is the collective unconscious decisions which were made and continuously being maintained. If you just remove few people, who are maintaining these collective unconscious understandings from the top, the whole thing will collapse, tumble down! In the world, there is a constant fight. How I say - The people who maintain the collective unconscious understandings, as the social system, If those few pins are removed, the whole system will collapse. Same way, the communists say the few spiritual leaders who maintain, the collective myth of enlightenment, if they are removed, the whole system will tumble down. I look at their system as a myth.
TALKS FROM MORNING SATSANG ON SEPTEMBER 4 2012 IN KODAIKANAL, INDIA Bhagavad Gita (Song of God) is a timeless treatise on the essence of living enlightenment. The Gita was imparted by the enlightened Hindu incarnation Sri Krishna to the warrior-prince Arjuna over 5000 years ago. Amazingly, the spiritual wisdom and life solutions offered in the Gita are so universal and current that even today it is used as a personal transformation guide. In today's talk on Bhagavad Gita, chapter 6, verse 7, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) gives us a deep technique for establishing our supremacy of self. Whether we are disturbed by external situations or internal emotions, they can only distract us if we agree to be distracted. When we sit in meditation with awareness and examine the source of the disturbance: how it feels, how it affects us, what is actually happening in our attention, we separate our spiritual consciousness from the experience and it no longer influences us. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- I welcome you all with my love and blessings. Today, Nirahar Samyama third level is starting. First day! I am also going to do Nirahar Samyama with you guys. I am continuing all my activities and routine. So this batch of Nirahar Samyama, 3rd level, next 11 days I will also be part of you guys. So 'The Samyama', 15th day successfully! In Bhagavad Gita, 6th chapter - Dhyana Yoga, 7th verse: Jitatmana prashantasya, paramatma samahitaha l Sheetoshna sukh dukheshu, tatha mana apamanayoho ll Translation: The one who has conquered the self, who has attained tranquility, the supreme is already reached, such a person remains in this state in happiness or distress, heat or cold, honor or dishonor. I will give you the new translation also: The one who has subdued his self, self made of patterns and is firmly established in the supreme state, remains centered whether in cold or warm atmosphere, whether he is pleasant or unpleasant situation whether he receives respect or is dishonored. Understand Bhagavan is giving powerful technique. He is using beautiful word, sheetoshna samdukheshu, sheeta, ushna -warm or cold, attacks you from outside skin. Sukha, dukkha atttacks you from inside the skin. Understand when you are feeling warm or cold, just sit and see what is happening outside your skin all over the body. Without branding, just see what is going on, how I feel. Don't name it as a cold or warm; pain or suffering. Just look. Something is going on; let me see what happens; how that feeling touches my skin ; after that how the skin is processing that information; and how I am getting agitated or irritated for no reason; how I am responding to it; why should I get agitated or irritated? Let's see how that nature responds to it. Sit with deep patience. All you guys are now in Kodaikanal. You don't need to go in search of a place. Sit today in the cold and see what happens in your skin. In one day, you will master cold. Cold will not affect you anymore. Same way heat, do Pancha Tapas, make a fire circle. It is very easy. Your height should be the diameter of the circle. That is the law. Make the fire circle. You will slowly start feeling the heat and it will increase within half an hour. Then just see what is going on in your skin. In two days you will master. Wow, both will not be painful. Then come to the next level of experiment. When you are feeling unpleasant just see. Unpleasantness is nothing but cold or warm which is working from inside the skin. If you look near the chest area it starts from inside the skin, the skin is being attacked. Warm and cold, heat and cold attacks you from outside the skin, unpleasantness and pleasantness attacks you from inside the skin. Sit with that. You don't need to find the situation. Already you have enough unpleasantness! Just sit with that unpleasantness. How it is attacking you from inside skin? What exactly you are feeling without looking, just see. In two days you will realize there is no such thing as unpleasantness other than your own decision to be in unpleasantness. Same way pleasantness, when you are in joy, happy, just sit and watch, what is this, what is this pleasantness, why it feels so expanded inside? Feel from your skin, inside the skin. You will master that state also. So pleasant or unpleasant attacks you from inside the skin; heat or cold attacks you from outside skin. But both heat or cold; pleasantness or unpleasantness; all 4 has no life independently from your will. Understanding this is being centered on the Supreme state. Please understand, your will gets contaminated when it connects itself with these 4. Fortunately these 4 have no independent existence if your will does not support it. Man who has realized it by experimenting with it is established in Supreme state. He is called Paramatma Samahita - equivalent to the Supreme consciousness. Such a simple, straightforward thing, I tell you! Just try today.
In 29th August 2012 Morning talk on Bhagavad Gita, chapter 6, verse 5, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) decodes his favourite verse. This one verse stands alone as the crown of Sri Krishna's teachings. The sacred secret of this verse is that we alone have the sovereign power to raise ourselves to enlightenment or to hold ourselves back from spiritual evolution. Going forward even during moments of doubt and depression is atma bhakti: devotion to our higher intelligence. We become our own guiding light, building our lives on spontaneous inspiration. Bhagavad Gita (Song of God) is a timeless treatise on the essence of living enlightenment. The Gita was imparted by the enlightened Hindu incarnation Sri Krishna to the warrior-prince Arjuna over 5000 years ago. Amazingly, the spiritual wisdom and life solutions offered in the Gita are so universal and current that even today it is used as a personal transformation guide.
