Nithyananda on Shiva leelas in Madurai | Nithyananda Satsang | 21 May 2012

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 it is even today used as a personal transformation guide. In today's talk on Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 4 Verse 32, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) uneveils the truth of Shiva's leelas (wisdom revealed through dramas of life), downloaded from the Akashic Records. First he expands on Sri Krishna's renowned ras leela by explaining that Krishna did not play only with the gopikas: his dance of life was with the Whole! He made leela with trees, stones, animals, wind, stars -- the entire cosmos became involved. Paramahamsa then turns to Shiva's leelas, which are not generally known. These lovely games of enlightenment are centered in Madurai, where Shiva made his earliest appearances on Earth. Eleven times he took form in Madurai area. Sixty-four leelas are recorded of his adventures and exploits in Madurai. Paramahamsa shares them one by one with us. To hear these beautiful stories is to experience a new level of Shiva consciousness. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- Shiva Leelas in Madurai Bhagavad Gita 4th Chapter Jnana Karma Sanyasa Yoga 32nd verse Evam bahu-vidhaa yagnaa vitataa brahmano mukhe | Karmajaan-viddhi taan sarvaan evam jnaatvaa vimokshyase|| Translation : Thus worship of the Divine energies is performed in various ways in the beginning of expansion; Understand that all of them originate in actions; knowing this you will be liberated. Sri Krishna is revealing some of the mystical secrets: How various Divine energies come into existence and how by connecting with them your expansion is possible. Please understand, one example I wanted to give: Bramha in Hindu stories; Hindu puranas; Bramha becomes egoistic so Shiva's extension comes out as Kalabhairava and cuts Brahmas head removes the ego of Brahma and makes Brahma Enlightened. This action: Shivas energy coming out and removing the ego of Brahma and making him enlightened; this action becomes Kalabhairava. So when you connect with Kalabhairava and start worshiping the Divine energy called Kalabhairava, he removes your ego also and gives you enlightenment. Same way Veerabhadra: Shiva's energy expanded and destroyed the collective negativity of Daksha which causes suffering for himself and for others. Many time your pain body becomes so strong, knowingly you cause suffering to you and to others even though you know you are causing suffering to you and to others, but the pain pattern is so strong you can't escape! I can see very clearly so many people they know if they are out of Me, if they are away from Me they are going to create suffering for themselves, but their ego, arrogance is so strong they can't live, they can't live around me. I have seen so many times even devotees they know if they listen to my teachings and live they will be out of their sufferings and tortures they are doing to themselves and to others, but they don't want! Daksha represents the negativity which causes suffering to youself and to others. Shiva's energy which came out and destroyed the Daksha's negativity is Veerabhadra. Understand, Veerabhadra did not kill Daksha, he gave life back to Daksha. So, this energy which destroy's your negativity of giving suffering to yourself and to others is called Veerabhadra. If you connect with this Divine energy and pray, feel connected, you will see in you also the pain body: the patterns which creates suffering for yourself and others will be destroyed. It's a beautiful verse! Evam bahu-vidhaa yagnaa vitataa brahmano mukhe | Karmajaan-viddhi taan sarvaan evam jnaatvaa vimokshyase|| Thus worship of the Divine energies is performed in various ways in the beginning of expansion, understand that all of them originate in actions, knowing this you will be liberated. Same way if you are frozen / closed then start connecting with Krishna, who is doing rasa leela who just opened himself to the whole universe! Understand Krishna's rasa leela did not happen just with gopikas: it happened with the plants, trees, rocks, Yamuna, whole thing and the poornima chandara, the full moon. With the 'whole' he had rasa leela. His rasa leela was enjoyed by the whole existence, gopikas were also happened to be there that's all; it was not concentrated towards gopikas, it was with the whole! So, if you are frozen, having the sickening suffocation (many time people do have this sickening suffocation) come on then expand, it is time you mediate on Rasaleela Krishna. So, each action of Divine, each action of an incarnation becomes independent energy by itself. Shiva's one action, cutting Brahmas head and giving him enlightenment, it became a independent energy called Kalabhairava. Shiva's one action of killing the negativity of Daksha and .....
