SPH Nithyananda's 2013 Guru Purnima message | English | 22 Jul 2013

In today's morning Satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda acquaints us with a scale that can help us decide which philosophy to use for our lives. Philosophy can be classified by how it introduces us to ourselves either by encaging, enslaving, engaging, or enriching. For example, the idea of self-doubt is nothing but the gap between our inner and outer image. This idea is falsely taught to us by the enslaving and encaging philosophies which introduce us to ourselves as sinners. Even when we get stuck with the feeling we are removed from the whole, in times of self-doubt, remember, we remain with the whole and are still always Self. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- I welcome all the devotees, disciples, samajis, satsanghis, I welcome all of you with my love and blessings. Today, Mahadeva is gracing us in "NAAGAM EIDHA LEELAI". Means, killing the demonish snake and protecting the kingdom of Madurai, Pandya Kingdom. Mahadeva is gracing us in that leela alankara. The story is: There was a king, Ananthaguna Pandya in Madurai. The whole kingdom was following the Shaiva tradition after Jnana Sambandha's venture. There was a group of black magicians in the garb of Jain monks. Those black magicians did a ritual and created a demon in the form of a very poisonous snake and sent that snake on Madurai. The snake was directed towards Madurai to destroy the whole kingdom. Ananthaguna Pandya fought with that snake. He was the king at that time. But, he could not conquer that snake, because it is, the demon. Finally, he resorted to Lord Sundareshwara. Mahadeva appeared and blessed the Pandya with an energized arrow. The moment the king shot the arrow, the energized arrow, the snake was killed. But the snake did not die that easily! It vomited venom to destroy the whole Madurai Kingdom. Then, immediately, Mahadeva sent from the Chandra, the moon, which is in his matted locks, hair he dropped a few drops of nectar from the moon. Because of the nectar Madurai was saved. Madurai is saved. Again ans again he comes down and saves the people in Madurai and Madurai. So this way, Somasundareshwara continuously protected the city of Madurai. I will start today's Nithya Satsangh. I will continue with the subject of "COMPLETION AND CREATION". Yesterday, I left the satsangh with an important question: Why Vivekananda gave the prayaschitha, solution "Do Durga puja and sacrifice thousands and thousands of goats. The blood which flows from the sacrificed animals should make Ganga red!" We need to study why Swami Vivekananda gave that solution. Understand, I wanted you to know how the morale of Bengal was destroyed, how the cruel capitalist fellows destroyed all our strong financial institutions, and how....... Please listen! Come to the space of listening! Actually, Bengal was the richest province in the whole world till 1757. Till 1757 Bengal was the richest province in the whole world. Now, let me come back to the subject of why Vivekananda gave the solution of sacrificing goats. You can actually go and refer Vivekananda's biography. You can see the whole incident as I described is there as it is, from some of the reminiscences of close disciples, especially Sister Nivedita, Sarat Chandra Chatterjee. These are some of the close disciples of Vivekananda who were the witnesses for Vivekananda giving this kind of a solution. Obviously, no one can imagine that Vivekananda will give a solution, 'Cut the goats! Kill the animals! The way you kill the animals, the blood should flow and mix in Ganga and Ganga should become red!' This is the exact statement! No one can understand. Surely, I will not understand! Fortunately, I did not read this statement in the beginning of my introduction to Vivekananda. By the time I read this statement, incident, I already had developed a lot of respect for Vivekananda. Otherwise, I would have thrown Vivekananda out of my life! For my conditioning, in my house, you cannot even talk about egg! Forget about eating it, you can't even talk about it! So, any conditioned orthodox South Indian, not even Brahmin, any orthodox South Indian, cannot even imagine a personality like Vivekananda saying, 'Do animal sacrifice!' Then, later on, it was Sharada Devi who interfered and stopped the animal sacrifice. And I wanted all of you to know, I stopped the animal sacrifice, personally interfering in my family temple. My family temple is the Devi temple, had the habit of animal sacrifice. I personally got involved in it and stopped it. Even now it is not happening. I stopped it many years before, and it is not happening. But, I don't want to take pride about it. I am just stating some of the facts. With this background, even I could not understand why Vivekananda has to go for that solution. Please understand, some of the root-patterns have to be very powerfully completed by reliving it. Understand the science of completion, then you will understand why Vivekananda has to give this solution.
