Feeling Connection the Ultimate Technique | Nithyananda Satsang | 13 May 2012
In today's morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) continues his explanation of the founding philosophy of Madurai Adheenam. The young saint who established the present design of the math (spiritual community), Jnanasambandhar, makes no mention in his original writings of any of the schools of Hindu thought that later became predominant. He speaks only of his love for Devi and of Her uplifting infusion of energy, and of his desire to support and perpetuate the Vedic tradition. Vedanta, the philosophy which later grew to be associated with Vedic culture, was developed by Adi Shankaracharya, who lived several hundred years after Jnanasambandhar. Shankaracharya himself refers to Jnanasambandhar as a source of inspiration. The school of Saiva Siddhanta likewise evolved a t a far later date than the founding of Madurai Adheenam. Vedic tradition is the wellspring for both Vedanta and Saiva Siddhanta. Paramahamsa also gives a radiant description of Meenakshi, the embodiment of Devi who ruled Madurai. She encompassed the fullness of both masculine and feminine consciousness, being an equally great administrator and master healer. Her five-story palace adjoined a great hospital where students and teachers from many cultures worked together, caring for thousands of people who flocked from all over the world. Meenakshi was the epitome of wisdom, beauty, courage, compassion and efficiency, completely radiating divinity on Earth. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- As I introduced yesterday, Madurai Aadheenam is older than Vedanta and Siddhanta. Madurai Aadheenam is the source of Vedanta and Siddhanta. Sankaracharya does not speak about any Master in any of his verses, other than Jnanasambhandar. Other than Thiru Jnana Sambhandar, he does not praise anybody; especially when he is praising 'Mother', when he is singing the glory of 'Mother' in Soundarya Lahari. Soundarya Lahari is the stotra describing Devi, describing Divine Mother, the Cosmic Mother, 'Padadikesha' means from foot to head. He is describing Devi, praising Devi in Soundarya Lahari. At that time when he is describing the breasts of the 'Mother', he is saying, 'the breasts which has created Jnana Sambhandar by giving the milk'. He is attributing Jnana Sambhandar as one of the glory to 'Mother' Herself. It means, he was inspired, impressed, influenced by Thiru Jnana Sambhandar. Vedanta philosophy originated from Adi Sankaracharya and Adi Sankaracharya was highly inspired by Thiru Jnana Sambhandar. Whatever I am giving, everything is a historical fact. Please understand, everything is a historical fact. I am not talking the mystical facts. I am not talking some mystical subject, I am talking fact and of course, Saiva Siddhanta directly acknowledges Thiru Jnana Sambhandar as the first, foremost of the whole Saiva philosophy. So, all the philosophies whether it is Vedanta or Siddhanta, evolved from Thiru Jnana Sambhandar. Two days before in the satsang, I was making one statement about Chokkanathar; Sundareshwara, the divine expressing in human biomemory, very down to earth. Today, I wanted to make remaining three more statements. That day I said I wanted to make four statements, one about Chokkanathar, one about Meenakshi, one about Thiru Jnana Sambhandar. I already made the statement about Chokkanathar, now I wanted to describe Meenakshi. All the grandeur of masculineness and the beauty of feminineness expressed in one body that is Meenakshi. Please understand, if I have to define, describe Meenakshi in one line, of course, it is impossible, but if it is forced, this is the description I will give: All the grandeur of the super consciousness, the masculine principle and the beauty of the feminine consciousness, the divine feminine principle expressing in one body is Menakshi. Meenakshi shines more than Chokkanathar. Meenakshi radiates more than Chokkanathar. I was thinking I should not tell these words, but truth can't be hidden, somehow it comes out. Meenakshi, I started describing her history only, but it was so much!, Now, really I feel, I put myself in a big mess of trying to describe which can never be described. See, I can describe maybe one or two incidents from Meenakshi's life, one or two incidents from Chokkanathar's life, one or two incidents from Jnana Sambhandar's life, but I cannot the describe the 'whole' as it is!! But I have decided and have given a topic, 'The complete History and Philosophy of Madurai Aadhenam', where I have to describe everything amidst so much that is happening around me. It is not that I am in a peaceful ambience and atmosphere like Bidadi, where I can go on sit and explain, explain, and explain. Here, all around there is fire, continuously I am fire fighting. So many, astras are being sent towards me: Nagasthra, Bramhastra, Varunastra, Vayusastra, Agniastra. Of course, I am just turning all that back and sending them back to them; same persons! One side, this fire fighting, the other side I have to explain the glory......

Shiva, Ocean of Compassion | Nithyananda Satsang | 09 May 2012
TALKS FROM MORNING SATSANG ON JULY 18 2012 IN Kodaikanal, INDIA In today's morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) answers our questions. One devotee asks for a solution for the habit of procrastination. Paramahamsa replies that there is no cure for this problem other than to make a conscious choice to drop it from our lives. If we are attached to procrastinating, even the guru's instructions will be set aside until tomorrow and the habit will persist. We ourselves must commit to acting immediately on all our tasks by implementing our will. Otherwise, even enlightenment becomes a receding horizon, eternally postponed. Paramahamsa comments that India suffers from procrastination as a cultural illness. He looks to the upcoming generations to remedy the problem through their increasing awareness and higher spiritual frequency.

Science of Temples | Nithyananda Satsang | 08 May 2012
In today's morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) launches his grand series on the history and pre-history of Madurai. He begins by explaining the science of temples. Each stone deity image is a transmitter of the invisible frequency of super-consciousness. Just as satellite dishes transmit information to radio and television, the deities radiate the vibration that raises us to enlightenment. In ancient Vedic culture both home and temple had centers for conscious imparting of higher frequencies. At home, people sat in their pooja rooms (shrine area of the house) and received, just as today they sit in front of their television sets and receive a far lower quality of communication. In the temple the broadcast was continuous, sending out a powerful beam on a wide band. However, the receptors for the frequency of super-consciousness lie in the non-mechanical parts of the brain, whose development has been suppressed by contemporary conditioning. Once these parts are awakened and activated through the process of unclutching, we can integrate the temple information once again and the civilization of enlightenment can be re-established. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- We will enter today's subject . It is such a vast ocean Meenakshi's history and the history of Madurai Adeenam. Recorded history itself is very little. Very little known information. And unrecorded Akashik readings are so much. I have the sink the whole thing in tune. It is still taking time for me to comprehend, especially to present it in your language. The language in which all of you can understand. I can see literally, so much of cosmic information from the Akashik readings, Akashik recordings are getting downloaded and getting ground, processed to get expressed in the language in which you all can grasp, you all can understand, you all can receive, you all can enjoy. So it is taking little time. I will answer some of your questions today related to this temple culture, as part of this satsang series, Madurai Adeenam series. This is a question from Rajeev, India. Beloved Master, people not belonging to this culture knows very little about this particular Meenakshi temple. Please tell us who is Devi Meenakshi and her husband. Why this grand temple? What are the visible and invisible functions of this temple. Please tell us Swamiji. Read the next question also. As we see in our present time, towers of mobile TV or dish TV antennas everywhere connecting invisibility, to satellites doing an incredible function for individuals and for society. My question is there is and was everywhere temples and deities in this culture. Anybody coming from outside just wonders is this just sentimental carved stones worshipping culture or just artistic sculptures. What is the invisible function of temples, deities? See, both questions - same answer. That is what I wanted to answer both questions together. Modern day dish TV, antennas, mobile towers, all of them work in the level of certain frequency where the words, pictures, visuals can be transmitted. See, the verbalization and visualization, names and forms, can be transmitted from one place to another place through this mobile towers, dish TV antennas. But the temple towers are created to transmit super consciousness from one place to another place. Please understand, in Meenakshi's time there was television, conscious television. It used to be in stone slab and if you just sit in front of that stone TV, meditate, connect with Meenakshi, she will appear live and answer whatever you want. So, each of the stone slabs only slowly, later on became deities. You can see in our temples, this one happening. The TVs in which i am appearing and speaking, are slowly becoming deities. They are receiving worship. Flowers are offered to it. Aarati is done to it. Incense is given to it. Now, all our temples are planning to have a separate throne for this TV. In Los Angeles, already I am on the throne. The TV is in the throne. The TV in which people are seeing me have already become deity. Same way, please understand, the stones through which people are able to connect with the super consciousness have become deities. Same way, all our temples, deities, everything, is a connecting mechanism with super consciousness. The mechanism which connects with the super consciousness. Please understand, the deities and temples are not just sentimental carved stones, or they are not just artistic sculptures, they are conscious transmitters. They raise you to the super consciousness. In each house in Vedic tradition, we have a puja room. All the puja rooms are your private, conscious airports, are conscious transmission centers. The main temple is the place from where continuous super consciousness is radiating. So if you just sit and connect with the deep feeling connection.. see in those days, human beings were so beautiful and simple, just remembering the name of the deity is enough,

How to Change the Future of Hinduism
In today's morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) answers our questions. The first question concerns which rudraksh to wear to benefit our lives. Paramahamsa replies that he can give only general info until he receives specific details about the energy of the wearer. The second question asks which elements of Hinduism need to be changed to allow a successful future for the religion. Paramahamsa gives a wealth of recommendations, the most crucial of which is that Hindus must gain clarity and commitment about their traditions. The final question asks why we are taught that last rites given in an energy field such as Kailash are more effective for our karma. Paramahamsa replies that the energy field amplifies the intention to make it more powerful. In addition, when the last rites are performed by an enlightened master, the cosmos hears them as a command for liberation -- the soul receiving the rites is guaranteed its freedom. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- Question: From Jyan Raypuria, IA Id#20 who's asking, Pranaam to guruji, In one of your satsangs, I have heard you mention that wearing rudraksh is good. There are various types of rudraksh available; 1 mukhi, 5 mukhi, 11 mukhi etc..I am single for life and want to have health, wealth, basic relationship with family without any attachment and rise highest in spirituality. Which rudraksh mala is to be worn? Or should be it be a mix of types of rudraksh? Whether rudrash mala should be touching the heart or should it the next size touching the throat? With gratitude, Jyan Raypuria IA ID #20 Swamiji: First, in this one question, there are so many questions!! He's asking what kind of rudraksh I should wear? Should it be 5 mukhi, 1 mukhi, 11 mukhi? How it should be? What size ? To tell you honestly. I can give only generalized answer here. Wear Gowrishankar on the throat and 5 mukhi on the below anandagandha, just below the heart center, this is a generalized instruction. If you want specifically, you better ask me in the energy darshan, I will see your energy and guide you. That is the only way, specific for the results, for what you want, I'll be able to guide you to have your own rudraksha mala, so ask me in the energy darshan, that's the best way I can help you. Question: From Mani KR, IA ID #78 Is Buddhism spreading fast compared to vedic culture and widely accepted in the world's spiritual area, because it doesn't have caste system? Devotional movement 'bhakthi yeyakum' diluted the density or intensity of Hinduism? Buddhism has more universality, 'ulagha podu nanmai'. For future and better prospects of Hinduism, What are elements in Hinduism that need to be changed? What needs to be eliminated? What needs to be supported and nurtured? If you are allowed to get a chance to run all Hindu mutt what all actions and steps you will take to revive them? Swamiji: Mani, first thing Hinduism needs is sincerity, nothing else. You are asking 3 questions, Buddhism doesn't have caste system? No, Caste system is not a reason The devotional movement, did it dilute the intensity of Hinduism? No, Buddhism as enough of devotion and devotional movements. Has Buddhism more universality? No, Buddhism is the baby of Hinduism, Buddhism does not have anything that Hinduism doesn't have. Only thing Hinduism needs is a little backbone to stand and practice and share with the world, nothing else. Where are the Hindus? All you fellows are Indian born capitalists. Do not ever claim you are Hindus, you are all degraded, destroyed, capitalistic, half westerners, not even fully, because even westerners when they really saw the end of capitalism, they are turning towards spirituality. They are understanding the necessity for the spiritual depth. You are completely, confused, that is the right word I will use. First thing Hinduism needs is inspiration and sincerity in what you stand for. Inspiration and sincerity. Trust these great truths are useful to us and useful to the world. See in Buddhism, youngsters are continuously encouraged, inspired, excited to be become monks and radiate their energy, intelligence in spreading Buddhism. In Hinduism, to make one person into a sanyasi, God!! How much I have to suffer, struggle, inspiring that person, and then fighting with the whole family, because the whole society is going against this, creating more and more teachers and preachers for Hinduism. The moment somebody feels a little depressed in the sanyas training, immediately he or she runs away because whole society is waiting to receive them back, there is no reason to be a little stronger or sincere. I tell you, my whole sangha is kept alive against the current of the main stream; it is not along with the current of the mainstream. But in Buddhist organizations: see, the energy and the experience I am sharing, if I was born and brought up as a Buddhist, by now I will be sitting, maybe with one lakh sanyasis, Buddhist sanyasis , because the whole infrastructure is available,

Unclutching®: la técnica decisiva para la iluminación
Los pensamientos son como burbujas en una pecera. De la misma forma que suben las burbujas desde el fondo, así también ascienden nuestros pensamientos. Cuando una burbuja llega a la superficie del agua otra empieza a subir y una tercera más aparece. Como las burbujas se mueven rápidamente, dan la sensación de ser una línea continua. Pero nuestra mente ¡no es una línea continua! Siempre hay un hueco entre dos pensamientos. Al igual que las burbujas, nosotros también experimentamos un espacio neutro entre dos pensamientos. Este espacio neutro entre dos pensamientos es nuestro estado original -- el silencio puro. Es el estado de Pura Conciencia- El Estado de DIOS Paramashivoham: 22-day Ultimate Spiritual Journey with the Avatar HDH Nithyananda Paramashivam Learn more: https://paramashivoham.nithyananda.org

Your Emotions are just Body fluids!
4 May 2012/Morning Satsang/Q&A In today's morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) takes questions from devotees. The first question asks about what existence is like without rebirth. Does "no rebirth" mean we exist only externally in the cosmos? Paramahamsa reverses the perception of this question. Without form, he tells us, there is no external and internal, which are limitations. Rather than being limited by physical senses, we acquire all the million senses of the universe. "No rebirth" does not mean taking away from us: it expands and adds to us! The second question concerns a great emotional shock from witnessing a bus accident with fatalities. The questioner's wife could not sleep after the incident and is still suffering. Is there a solution? Paramahamsa gives instruction that the woman should remember everything as vividly as possible and re-experience the shock completely, daily until it loses its emotional impact. Gradually the shock will heal if it is not suppressed. He reminds us that all emotions are just hormones -- body fluids. When we understand our biochemistry we cease to be enslaved by our emotional reactions. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- Your emotions are just Body fluids! Question: Does no rebirth means the soul will not be born with a body but will be on with the cosmos externally. Thank you. Swamiji: When you do not have a body, the concept of external and internal does not exist. Being one with the cosmos, alive with the cosmos, vibrating with the cosmos, living as a cosmos. When I say, you will not be born with one body, I mean you will be born in all bodies. You will be experiencing, enjoying all bodies. I am not taking five senses away from you, I am adding five billion senses to you. Understand enlightenment and videha mukti need to be understood in a right angle from the right direction, from the right language, from the right understanding. So be very clear, when I say you will not have anymore birth, do not be insecure, do not feel you are going to miss something, lose something. You are only going to gain everything. You are only going to have everything, so no rebirth should not be understood in negative terms, it need to be understood in positive terms. Question: This is a question from my wife. Recently there was a bus accident near her house. What she saw was one person crushed by a bus and another woman crying helplessly, that she lost her child. My wife could not sleep for one day. How to handle this shock at that moment and later? Swamiji: Unfortunately, she was not able to handle at that moment. Now, the only way to handle is before going to sleep in the night time, just tell her to sit and relive the whole thing. It will be horrible, understand like a it will be sweating, shivering, horrible. But it's okay, go through. Go in to it, go through it. Same way early morning after waking up immediately go through it like a death meditation how you are asked to face all the fears consciously, go through this shock consciously. In two three days you will see it will be just forgotten, all the unnecessary shock, fear, emotion associated with that scene will melt down. When your body shivers, tears roll, that emotions will melt down. Understand, when body fluids leave the body, concern emotions leave the system. Fear, suffering is associated with the tears and when your nose runs, the mucus and the tears are directly connected to fear, shock and suffering. And your male or female hormone, the semen is directly connected to lust and guilt. Self torturing concepts are directly connected to sweat. So, when those body fluids leave you, when you consciously go through those experiences, the emotions associated with those memories will leave your system. Understand, understand this one key, you will not be bound by any emotion, all emotion is nothing but a little bit of liquid added to your body. If you take out that liquid, emotions will disappear. You can completely control. Yes, now they have discovered it is called Rheum, the liquid comes from nose watery substance. You understand this truth; you can solve not just this problem, all problems. All your problems, all your emotional sufferings and emotional clots are nothing but little bit of liquid in your body. So many things you do and repent later on, just because of the little bit of male hormone in the body. So many decisions you make, when that hormones are high in your body just that little bit of liquid when it is removed from your body, your whole strategy is different now, your whole concept of life is different now, your whole ideas and decisions are different now. I tell you, liberate yourself from this liquid mentality. The liquid based mentality, this is what is Pratyahara. Understand, Pratyahara means not being forced to take any decision by body fluids. Anger, lust, fear, greed, attention please understand, attention need is not male hormones action, it is female hormones action.

Satsang Sitting With The Truth | Nithyananda Satsang | 03 May 2012
Live on http://nithyananda.tv/live-streaming/ 3 May 2012/Morning Satsang/Q&A In today's morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) answers questions from devotees. The first questioner wants to know which practices and techniques should be integrated into daily activities in order to live an enlightened life. Paramahamsa replies that nothing is needed except to sit in daily satsang, which is upanishad (receiving the radiant vibration of the master). We establish a feeling connection beyond just verbal listening. The second question asks Paramahamsa to share his mystical relationship with the lineage of his pontifical appointment at Madhurai Adheenam. Paramahamsa touchingly describes how moved he was as a child to hear the story of Milk-Giving Devi and how he walked for fifteen days to view Her temple. This Devi is the tutelary deity of Madhurai Adheenam. The third question concerns the differences between Shiva and Devi worship. Paramahamsa tells us that neither is better than the other: it is a matter of emotional understanding -- whichever deity empowers our transformation is our best choice to worship. The final question asks about unclutching. Paramahamsa explains that when we unclutch from a state of deep devotion, our lower emotions are destroyed and our higher emotions become strengthened, permanently raising our frequency. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- Question: For me, once we finish IA when go out into society, do we need to internalize your teachings regularly? I do not remember all of them. Can you please guide me what to do, so that I can live an enlightened life? Swamiji: First thing: There is no need for you to do special to internalize my teachings. Because these higher truths and experiences are made as part of your bio-memory through this whole process. I want all of you to know Inner Awakening is not 'Teaching Programme'. It is 'Process Programme', where these great truths are inserted into your bio-memory beyond your mind without even you need to do anything. There is no need for your cooperation, there is no need for your effort. Just your openness is more than enough. Not only there is no need for your effort, I don't even need your cooperation. I just need your openness. Nothing else. Your 'Yes'. Nothing else. Please understand just your 'Yes' is enough for me to work on you. So you don't need to do anything special to internalize my teachings. May be I will recommend this morning Satsang as a sitting with me, the Upanishad, more as a Upanishad. Otherwise, if you see, in the morning Satsang all I do is just I come and joke around make some fun, tease some people, answer some questions in a most confusing way. See, if you put the same question after 3 days, you will never imagine how such a complete different answer comes from me. And if you compare both the answers, I am not responsible. I can 100% assure you will go crazy. In the morning Satsang the more important is "feeling connection". When you sit and listen, so many things will be cleared to you that beyond my words something else is happening something else is being done. So please understand that something else is Satsang. Satsang is not Pravachan. In Sanskrit we have 2 words. Pravachana is discourse. Satsang is sitting with the truth. Every morning I am asking you to sit in Satsang to sit with me with a deep feeling connection, not just to listen to the words. The words are immaterial. Whether you listen or not, it is not a problem at all. Satsang is the main thing. Sitting with the truth is the main thing. So you don't need any other spiritual practice or method to internalize my teachings regularly. You need only one thing: Sit in the morning Satsang every day wherever you are in un-clutched way. All you need is just one android. Connect and sit. Nothing else. Nothing else. Never miss the morning Satsang. Keep this as a law for your life. I always tell for our ashramites and devotees, don't use even death as a excuse to miss morning Satsang. Die either before 7'0 clock, so that you can be there in 'aksharadham' with me attending the morning Satsang or die after 9.30 am so that you can be there for next day Satsang. Don't use even death as an excuse to miss the Satsang. Attend the Satsang don't bother. If you are regularly attending, I will make sure the Lord of Death waits for you and he does not disturb you during the Satsang time. Don't miss morning Satsang. Make this as a life. Morning Satsang not even to hear what I am saying, more to sit in un-clutched way. Just sit un-clutched. Nothing else. If any word which I utter need to go inside, it will go inside. Otherwise it is okay. So don't miss morning Satsang. I don't feel you need to do any other spiritual practice. Any other technique or process to internalize my teachings to make you live enlightened. Just Satsang. Nothing else. "Yes" for Satsang. That is enough.

Mystic, Master, Avatar & God | Nithyananda Satsang | 01 May 2012
In today's morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) takes questions from devotees. The first question asks him to explain the various Sanskrit terms for guru/divine: avatar, bhagwan, mystic, enlightened master. Paramahamsa gives a detailed description of "mystic": one who is continuously creating, using powers beyond the five senses. He points out that we have two choices in life -- to become mystics or to be mistakes. The second question concerns counseling. Since Paramahamsa is a master healer and provides life solutions for our difficulties, do his devotees need outside counseling? Paramahamsa replies that for counseling to be useful, counselors must have discovered and implemented effective answers for their own life problems. He is presently designing a training course for spiritual counselors. Until they are available devotees are to seek counseling only from him, for he has the resources to address all their concerns. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- I welcome you all with my love and respects. Today - an important celebration, Ashramites day. 11 yrs before on the same day 2001, Ma Nithya Sadhananda, first ashramite came and started staying with me. In half an hour late, Sri Nithya Sadhananda (Ayya) also came. So the first ashramites started coming and staying with me on the same day May 1st. So we celebrate Ashramites day as May 1st. See the coincidence. Today is Labours Day. We are the ultimate labours for the world. Understand, we give our physical work. We give our mental ability for society. We give our emotions dedicated to society. Finally ultimately we give our consciousness itself to the society. We are the ultimate labours. And one more thing. Coincidentally this is very day -- May 1st - Ramakrishna Mission was established by Swami Vivekananda. May 1st is the date - inauguration of Ramakrishna Mission, Nithyananda Mission and Labours day. Next, I have an important very mystical information; announcement to share with you all. In yesterday's Satsang I said, when I went to Madurai Adheenam, in the Garbamandir, where Guru Maha Sannidanam does his Parartha Pooja every day, inside, I saw one Shiva Lingam. I was enquiring everybody -"what it is? what it is?". I could not get any answer because nobody knows. Then the night samadi I meditated. Yesterday I announced, I found in the vision, in the Akashic reading, the darshan I saw, that is the "Adhi Chokkanaada", the original Shivalinga on which Meenakshi Temple Sundareswara Temple was built and during the invasion, this Shivalingam was brought here and kept here to preserve, to be protected. So after the invasion was over, Muslims invasion, even after everything settled, this Shivalingam never went back to the Madurai temple. So this is what I saw in the vision. Now today I have a solid proof for all of you for what I said. Please understand, in Agama tradition, each Garbamandir is built based on the measurement of the Shivalinga. If the Sivalinga is one unit, the length will be 22 unit height will be 27 unit. The breadth will be 42 unit. Like that there is a dimension. The wall thickness everything there is a dimension. Actually when I went to Madurai Adheenam, when I saw that Shivalinga, I took the measurement of the Shivalinga by my hand. I brought the measurement and gave it to one of the senior Stapathi who is expert in the Agama science. He already had Madurai Garbamandir's measurements. He matched both the measurements. They are completely matching. Please understand, the Adhi Chokkanadar in Madurai Adheenam, that Sivalinga,and the Garbamandir of Madurai Sundareswara temple -both measurements are perfectly matching and one more information the present Shivalinga which is there in Chokkanadar temple, that Shivalinga measurement is not matching. It is smaller than the size which is supposed to be. The Garbamandir measurement unit size as per the Agama is perfectly matching without missing even one inch. The height, length, breadth everything is matching. By tomorrow I will release the document.The whole documentation in the own handwriting of the Stapathi. So whatever I saw in the darshan is proved archeologically. I have archeological evidence now to prove to the society and I will present this whole data to our 292nd Guru Maha Sannidanam . If he feels, we will release it to public, if not we will not release it to public. But now I have solid archeological evidence that this Shivalinga is Adhi Chokkanadar. Please understand all temples' Garbamandirs are built based on the size of the Shivalinga. Shivalingas are usually Jyothir Linga. They come by themselves. They are molded, polished using the neem and lemon juice. This Shivalinga is also Swayambu, but molded and polished nicely without using any chisel and hammer. Just by neem and lemon. Neem and lemon juice will melt stone. If you add some more herbs with the neem and lemon juice, it will melt stone. That is the way this Shivalinga was polished and the present.....

Vedic Rituals,Food & Spirituality | Nithyananda Satsang | 28 Apr 2012
In today's morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) answers questions from devotees. The first question asks about our astrological destiny. Do the planets at birth determine our fate, and if so, can initiation from an enlightened being alter our circumsstances ? Paramahamsa replies that it is not the planets, but our beliefs and mental habits that determine our fate; and as we have experienced, initiation from the Master changes all of that. Question Two inquires regarding nutritional supplements and asks for recommendations. Paramahamsa declines to recommend specific brands, but states that organic supplements in general support both physical health and raising our consciousness. The final question concerns why we should receive a spiritual name. Paramahamsa reveals that the spiritual name has three functions: it shows the path we should choose in life, gives us a goal to achieve, and opens us to the guidance and blessings of the Master. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- I welcome all of you with my love and blessings. First question: Dear Swamiji, Nithyanandam! Is our life path already decided by the planetary positions at the time of birth? If so, can it be changed by the initiation from a master? What is the significance of Mangal Sutra and toe ring according to our Vedic tradition? Married women are not supposed to remove this any time. Is there any spiritual significance? When the husband is not alive, women are not allowed to wear kumkum, flowers and bangles, etc. and they are considered inauspicious. What is the reason behind this? Is there anything called dosha and parihaara? In what way does the parihaaram affect us spiritually to make life better? - M Suvedha, IA ID no. 89 Swamiji: First thing. Your life path is already decided because of the mental set up you create; not because of any planetary positions at the time of birth. The way you grow, that mental set up, that affects your life path. Second, if so, can it be changed after an initiation from the master? - As I said, initiation from the master changes all your mental set up and patterns. So, it can be changed. Third, significance of Mangal sutra and toe ring according to our Vedic tradition.. I also wanted to make this very clear - toe ring and Mangal sutra is not mentioned in any Vedic literature. Later on, the set of books called Smritis, the lifestyle instructions, only in that lifestyle instruction books like Manu Smriti, Prajapathi's laws, and later on, only in the Smriti literatures, the lifestyle books, the words like Mangal Sutra are all appearing. Even there, toe ring idea is not there. It was added later on, in the Puranic periods. See, the Vedic period, Smriti period, puranic period. In Smriti period only, the Mangal Sutra gets added. In the puranic period, the toe ring gets added. So, basically the original vedic scriptures, there are neither references nor any spiritual significance associated to mangal sutra or toe ring. So, because there is no spiritual significance, I do not want to talk about it much. As a social custom, ok. I have no opinion to support it or negate it. And, why when the husband is not alive, women are not allowed to use kumkum and flowers and bangles and considered inauspicious. I think this is male chauvinistic. They are afraid to have a women fully dressed up without husband, because these fellows will get tempted. It is just male chauvinistic. Nothing else. So, don't bother about that. This is already broken by Sharada Devi. Sharada Devi made it very clear. Sharada devi clearly, even after Ramakrishna left the bodyshe did not remove teh bangles. she did not wear the white saree. See, even in white saree, she will wear with the border only. In West Bengal, with teh border you cant wear white saree, those days if husband is not there. She did not care. And she will o all the auspicious activities and everything. And, there is nothing called dosha and parihaara as far as this wearing kumkum, flowers after husband passed away. Dont bother about that. There are some other significance in dosha and parihaaras. I will talk about it later on, some other time. Next question.. The next question is from Jayaram Reddy, IA ID no. 68. He is asking - Dear Swamiji, please elaborate the essence and need of using dietary supplements for optimal health. Give your insights about using natural organic supplements, especially supplements from Amways neutriite? - Jayaram Reddy IA id no. 68 Swamiji: Jayaram Reddy, I cannot support Amways neutrilite, because I do not know about it. I don't know whether you are Amway agent. Am I right? Amway agent? O.. So, I cannot support the Amway Neutrilite, because I do not know about it. But, I can tell you one thing. You can use any dietary supplement as far as it is vegetarian and organic. As long as it is vegetarian or organic you can use. In those days we used to use in the food itself, like neem, many of the spices, badam, all these are dietary supplements only.

Samadhi, Kundalini & Karma | Nithyananda Satsang | 26 Apr 2012
26th April 2012 morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) takes questions from devotees. The first question asks him to define nirvikalpa samadhi and to give practices that can lead us to that state. Paramahamsa replies that nirvikalpa means undisturbed, unchanging inner space, and the current program in which the questioner is participating, Inner Awakening, provides exactly the training to achieve it. Second question is from a devotee who was able to travel to Mount Kailash last summer despite severe arthritis. She asks how Paramahamsa made it possible. He answers that since she had experienced kundalini awakening in his presence, her bio-memory now obeys his energy more strongly than hers, so he was able to correct her illness. The third question inquires whether conscious awareness exists in comatose accident victims, and whether they can work on their karma in such condition. Paramahamsa responds that if they had raised their consciousness prior to the injury they can effect spiritual work in a vegetative state; but if not, they will have to wait for the next birth to continue their evolution. The final questioner asks why people have thoughts of harming others. Paramahamsa remarks that usually there is no desire to harm, it is only the desire to expand one's boundary and this can intrude on others. He reminds us that we are each responsible for maintaining our boundaries and for negotiating intelligently when boundaries collide. Transcripts:- The first question is from Sadhana, IA id no. 65. She is asking: Q: Dearest Swamiji, Please explain what is Nirvikalpa Samadhi? How can I attain it? Can one hold Prana outside the body at will, when one achieves ‘Nirvikalpa Samadhi’? Please guide me, what steps, what tapas, what kriya I perform to attain it. ---Sadhana- IA ID No.65 Swamiji:- Sadhana, please understand - ‘Nirvikalpa’ means being without any changes. ‘Vikalpa’ means changes, oscillation, diversion, dilution, differentiation. All these can be different meanings of the wordVikalpa. ‘Nirvikalpa’ means without any of this. When one achieves Nirvikalpa Samadhi, he literally becomes God. He becomes one with the ultimate. ‘Nirvikalpa Samadhi’ means your whole being, your whole identity dissolving into the cosmic existence. The individual inner space has no more disturbances, differences. Next question - How can I attain it? There are millions of methods, process, procedures. Pick up any one sincerely, authentically. You are already doing Inner Awakening, you are already initiated into unclutching. Best direct experience of Nirvikalpa Samadhi can be had by unclutching. Please understand, unclutching is not even a path leading to Nirvikalpa Samadhi, it is a process directly giving you the experience of Nirvikalpa Samadhi. The moment you start unclutching you are falling into Nirvikalpa Samadhi. It is not a peak to attain it, it is a valley in which you need to fall. It is not an object to attain it, peak to achieve it, it is a valley to be fallen in it. When one achieves Nirvikalpa Samadhi it is not even an achievement. Sadhana, to tell you honestly you are asking so many questions about Nirvikalpa Samadhi. But any answer about Nirvikalpa Samadhi will not be truthful when you achieve that sate. Now whatever I say when you start experiencing, you will only find my words are inadequate. If a common man, person who is on the road, who is a new seeker, if he asks this question, I can give elaborate answer because I know for sure this guy is not going to achieve it. It is like collecting maps. There are some fellows who are crazy about collecting maps but never travel, there are somefellows who are crazy about collecting menu cards, but never eat, crazy of collecting all the postal stamps, but never send anything, crazy of collecting coins, but will never spend anything, crazy of collecting swords, but doesn’t know how to fight. I know there are some people, crazy of collecting things, will never use it. Same way, if an onlooker or a person who is not that authentic or sincere, if he asks about this question, what is Nirvikalpa Samadhi, I can give poetries after poetries after poetries. I can sing any number of songs. He is not going to experiment it or experience it. But Sadhana you are already in the Inner Awakening. You are getting into Nirvikalpa Samadhi. So when I answer you – I wanted to be very responsible. Any word I give about Nirvikalpa Samadhi will be inadequate when you experience it! You are asking can one hold Praana outside the body at will when one achieves Nirvikalpa Samadhi. When you achieve Nirvikalpa Samadhi you can hold praana out, in, in and out, out and in, anywhere you want. What steps, what tapas, what kriya I perform to attain it? Sadhana, you are already doing it. Inner Awakening is the steps, Inner Awakening is the tapas, Inner Awakening is the kriya you need to perform to attain it and you are doing it.

What Is Identity Crisis? | Nithyananda Satsang | 24 Apr 2012
24th April 2012 morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) answers questions from devotees. The first question inquires about the use of astrology for spiritual seekers. Paramahamsa replies that he has found that astrology, properly and soberly practiced, helps devotees to evolve spiritually. The second questioner asks Paramahamsa to explain his term "identity crisis", and requests advice on how to handle this event. Paramahamsa states that having an identity at all -- a persona with which we define ourselves -- is in itself a crisis. Until we identify only with the boundlessness of the universe, we are in a crisis state. We become aware of our crisis when we encounter the teachings of an illuminated being and realize our false understanding of life. At that time, the way to cope with our turmoil is to remain close to our enlightened master: in spite of our panic, we should not run away. The final question asks whether we can become stuck in repeating intermediate visionary experiences; can we fall into a loop and fail to achieve enlightenment? Paramahamsa says that only the experiences we have independently can be repetitive. No experience in the presence of the master is ever the same as any other: each one is unique and can lead us to liberation.

Unclutch® In All Dimensions | Nithyananda Satsang | Apr 2012
In today's morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) answers our questions. The first questioner states that she feels connected to Paramahamsa's formlessness but does not know how to connect with his form. Paramahamsa replies that the form is merely part of the formlessness, so there is no need to get concerned with details. The second question addresses how to be unattached within (unclutched®) while engaged in external activity. Paramahamsa gives an exquisite description of the unclutching® process by explaining that conflict is simply too many thoughts trying to connect at the same time. Unclutching® provides space between the thoughts so we have less conflict. Third questioner wants to know how breathing can be balanced during unclutching without causing gasping. Paramahamsa explains that the flow of prana balances the breathing during unclutching. Question four asks how to know whether one is disciple or devotee. Paramahamsa responds that the degree of feeling connection determines the difference. The fifth question is about love. Paramahamsa says there is no such thing as love and as long as we cling to believing in it we evade enlightenment. The final question asks whether energy fields such as Kailash can occur naturally, or whether they must be created. The answer is both: an energy field is most likely to be created in an area where the natural energy is already high. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- Question: With your grace and compassion I am able to constantly connect with you as the formless. I experience you as the very existential energy that runs the entire cosmos and me. However, Swamiji, how can I also be equally connected to you in the form. I am not able to do so. What do I need to do for that? Please guide me and bless me to have this. Swamiji: If you are able to connect me as a formless that is enough. Why do you want to connect me with the form? There is no need. Actually if you connect me with the form, only then I need to push you to the formless. If you are already able to connect as a formless, you are on the right track or you are achieving what needs to be achieved. So you don't need to worry that you are not able to connect through form. But one thing I can tell you I smell little hypocrisy in the whole whatever you call as connection. If it is authentic, as you say, as you claim, connection with my formless, you will not even have this craving. You want to connect with form also. Because my form is not out of my formlessness. My form is part of my formlessness. If you are connecting with the formlessness as you claim, you will not even have the feeling you are not connecting with my form. So please understand, in me, my formlessness is form of my part, my formlessness is part of my form, my form is part of my formlessness. So if you connected to any one, you will not feel you are not connected to the other one. My form is part of my formlessness, my formlessness is part of my form. So if you connect even with one, you will automatically connect with the other also. There won't be any problem, any disturbance. The moment you say you are connected to one and you are not able to connect to the other one, I think there is something fishy. Some hypocrisy. Look into that and correct that hypocrisy. That is all you need to know. You need to only correct those hypocrisy. Nothing else. Question: Thank you for the out of the world, un-clutching initiation. I have a question about practically un-clutching every moment. The industry I work in thrives on showing the logical connection between two thoughts and ideas. Every moment I am at work, I am trying to establish this rather convoluted yet connected thought flow. Given this situation, how can I un-clutch on the inside mamakara, but project connected thoughts on the outside ahankara. Even if I do this successfully, will it create a conflict in me? Thank you. Swamiji: Even if you are working in Microsoft, please understand, this question comes before you start practicing. Start practicing you will understand. I only wanted to ask you one question, in your experience you would have seen thousands of people from your birth. Have you seen anybody more coherent, logical, connecting the thoughts and ideas than me. I tell you, I am resting in the ultimate un-clutching. So I am the living example. That somebody can be resting in the ultimate un-clutching, constantly connect thoughts, ideas logically coherently without any convolution, go on presenting it to the world, but go on living in a complete un-clutched space. Understand, see me, and be inspired and be encouraged be assured it is possible. Logically I cannot give you answer for this question. Only experientially I can give you inspiration for this question. You would have heard I do not know 100s or 1000s of hrs of my discourses. I may go different different different parts, areas, zones during the discourse. But you will see exactly I will bring it back

Take Responsibility For Your Enlightenment | Nithyananda Satsang | Apr 2012
In today's morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) gives answers to the questions of Inner Awakening participants. One devotee asks for Vedic wisdom on our duties to parents, teachers, priests and Master. Paramahamsa describes each: for parents, to give emotional support, but not surrender our lives to them; for teachers, keep the knowledge they gave us fresh and growing; for priests, use their teachings to achieve enlightenment; and for Master -- become enlightened. Another participant asks whether Inner Awakening can give the ultimate push into enlightenment. Paramahamsa's answer is Yes! The third question concerns losing sleep in order to meditate before work. Paramahamsa replies that any sleep beyond 4 to 5 hours is entrenched laziness and boredom. When we increase our productivity and become excited, we reduce our need for sleep. The final questioner asks why Kailash is such a special energy field. Paramahamsa responds that Shiva administers the cosmos from Kailash, therefore the area radiates uniquely intense creative energy. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- Let's enter into today's satsang. Start with the questions. The first question is from Dharsha Divya, IA No.85: Question: She is asking, "Swamiji, would you please say something about our duties to our parents, teachers, priests and the Master according to Vedic culture? This kind of knowledge is almost lost in the West. Especially, I would like to know about disciple's duty to the master according to Vedic culture. Thank you again." Swamiji: Dharsha Divya, her question, First thing, you are asking "Would you say something about our duties to our parents, teachers, priests anf master?" Understand, your duty to your parents is giving them emotional and moral support when they need. I wanted to make it very clear. You are not bound by your parents to live the life they wanted. It is not your duty or responsibility. Many times you mistake your attachment and weakness as a duty and responsibility. No. See, if you are completely bound by your parents' way of living, if that becomes your responsibility and duty, there is no possibility for upgrading, don't you understand? Then the whole humanity has to be in the same low consciousness because nobody is going to take the risk and courage and breakthrough and upgrade themselves. That is not your duty. That is not your responsibility. Responsibility to the parents is giving them emotional support, moral support. Very beautifully one of my brahmacharini told me yesterday "The best thing I can do for them is I brought them to you, that's all. Now my responsibility is over. Best thing I can give them is you. After this, now it is between you and them." I tell you, your highest responsibility for your parents is helping them to become enlightened. Next, teachers, your highest responsibility, duty to your teachers is keeping the knowledge which they gave you, alive and making it to grow, flourish. And responsibility for your priests is using the knowledge they gave, to achieve the ultimate. Responsibility for your master, duty for your master is you becoming enlightened. Nothing else! Give your emotional, moral support to your parents, grow the knowledge given by your teachers, use the knowledge given by your priests to achieve the highest possible consciousness. Finally, achieve that highest consciousness using the master's presence. This is what is your duty, towards all of them. Nothing else, nothing more, nothing less! Be very clear, you are not bound by anything else, other than these understandings. Next question: Question: From Rajesh : IA ID No.72 When one has already passed glimpses of enlightenment; for example characteristics of sthitaprgnya , lamp not affected by glowing wind, tortoise like senses , verses like in Ashtavakra Geeta flowing inside the heart on its own, glorifying eye consciousness, feeling the depth of time etc ; will Inner Awakening take to the same space and beyond clearing all obstructive bio-memories, so as to sustain the enlightenment in tune with this world ? Swamiji: Rajesh, please understand, Inner Awakening is the program that will help whether you are in the beginning state, initial stages or you need just the last push towards enlightenment. Now you are asking this question that will I have the last push towards the ultimate enlightenment through this program. Yes! Especially the experiences you are talking, this will all become permanent in you. All the obstructing bio-memories will be cleared. I tell you, in this mood, the space you are in; other than master's presence no other technique will work; because you have finished all other techniques. Now only his presence can mature your bio-memory and sustain the enlightenment, push you to that falling in tune with the enlightenment in this world, to that experience; especially after having certain spiritual experiences, glimpses of enlightenment, not getting that experience eternally,

Master Breaks Your Laziness Patterns | Nithyananda Satsang | 20 Apr 2012
TALKS FROM MORNING SATSANG ON AUGUST 14 2012 IN BIDADI, 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 5, verse 24, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) continues his discussion on the nature of spiritual happiness. When we exist in an unaware state, some part of our being becomes dominant; for example, some people are focused on physical activities, some on mental pursuits, and so on. Our perception of happiness derives from how we perceive ourselves -- as a strong body, sharp mind or devoted spirit. When we raise ourselves to understand that we are beyond all these identities, then we find the source of spontaneous inner joy.

Q & A: Trust, Devotion, Will, Initiation
In today's morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) replies to devotees' questions. The first question concerns why we don't have ecstatic experiences when we desire to. Paramahamsa responds that even when the wish is strong, if the mind has doubts the experience may not occur. Second, a devotee asks if keeping silence is the best way to expand our inner space. Paramahamsa says that verbal silence is a beginning, but the goal is complete conscious silence. At that point expansion can unfold. A non-Indian devotee asks why there is a custom of touching the guru's feet. Paramahamsa answers that guru puja is the oldest ritual of the Vedic tradition: it springs from overflowing gratitude and respect. The fourth questioner wants to know whether will is a part of our mind or our being. The reply is that it is neither -- it is a bridge hanging between the two. The final question is from a youngster longing to present his parents to Swamiji. Paramahamsa comments that it is ironic that in older days parents brought their children to the guru -- and now children are trying to bring the parents. He advises a sincere, loving approach with an open heart. TRANSCRIPTIONS:- Question: Dear Swamiji, you said, "When I want the headache to disappear, I have given more energy for it to stay in me". In that case why have I not given more energy for spiritual experiences like Samadhi and kundalini energy even though I want it? Rupak Id no. 64 Swamiji: Rupak 64, his question - Dear Swamiji you said when I want the headache to disappear, I have given more energy for it to stay in me. In that case why have I not given more energy for spiritual experiences like Samadhi or kundalini energy even though I want it. Please understand, wanting it is one, believing it, is possible trusting it, is possible is another one. Let me give you a small story. One guy who was trying his best to get a boon from Shiva. So every morning he will pour water, milk, all kinds of offerings, he will make to Shiva deity he had and do the pooja. Sit in front of the Shiva and chant Namah Shivaya, Namah Shivaya, Namah Shivaya and literally nag Shiva to give that boon. Literally force Shiva to give that boon. Shiva was not responding at all. Finally one day he got fed up and he became angry. The greed, when it is not fulfilled turns as anger. When it turned out as anger he became so angry, he decided to teach a lesson to Shiva. He brought one Vishnu Moorthy, Vishnu deity and started doing all the pooja to Vishnu. Just to tease Shiva, he will do everything whatever he was doing to Shiva to Vishnu, saying "you are useless God, now I am worshiping real God, who will give me the boon", he will do, he was doing all the rituals. Finally he put incense stick also. That incense smoke was slowly moving in the wind towards the Shiva deity. He could not tolerate that incense he kept for Vishnu is being smelled by Shiva. He jumped on the deity and caught hold of the nose strongly, closed the nose nostrils. "You should not smell my incense. It is only for Vishnu, How dare this incense comes to your nose, this smell comes to your nose". He was so strongly holding the nostril, suddenly, in few seconds, he literally felt he is holding flesh and bones, somebody's real nostrils, nose. When he opened the eyes he saw Shiva was sitting. He was really sitting. He was there. The moment he saw Shiva he could not control, all his anger pseudo anger everything went away. He fell at the feet of Shiva, and asked him, "please apologize me, please forgive me". He asked for the apologize, "please forgive me", then Shiva asked, "oh my son, what do you want tell me?" He asked his boon. Shiva gave him the boon. Suddenly this guy had a doubt. He asked Shiva, " oh lord, I was praying to you so strongly, doing so much of puja, abishekams, sacred bath, offerings, so many things I was doing, repetition of your name, everything, why did you not appear at that time? When I was holding your nose, you should not smell my incense in anger, you appeared. What is this logic, I am not able to understand". Shiva so beautifully says, "Even in your greed you did not have strong trust I am in that deity. You only have to imagine Shiva is there. I am doing, he may accept. In one corner of your mind, "who knows Shiva is sitting in this". One corner of your mind was always commenting on your action, there was never 100 percent doubtless trust. But in your anger, you did not have one inch of doubt I am there in that deity. When you held your nostril, When you held my noses strongly, even one second you did not have a doubt. Your unconscious mind was not commenting, giving the cricket commentary behind. "Who knows Shiva is in this deity. Who knows he is accepting all your milk. It is going down the drain and you are wasting your money, time, energy". You did not have any of the doubts when you were holding my nose. You know Shiva is there and you have to take revenge.
