In today's morning Satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda explains that lifestyle philosophy, art, architecture, and language are the requirements for a civilization to be alive. He wants us to understand that the strength of a civilization is stability which brings specialization. The stability of Indian civilization lead to the specialized knowledge and perfection of the Vedic sciences. For over twenty thousand years, the Vedic tradition has been perfected in the areas of lifestyle philosophy, art, architecture, and language. Over the past several decades, the stability of India has been compromised because Indian youth has been moving away from the traditional ways of knowledge transfer. We can reverse the degradation in the structure and lifestyle of India by reviving the Vedic tradition!
TRANSCRIPTIONS:-
Today, Mahadeva is gracing us with the alankara of 'Yaanai Eidha Padalam', means the, 'vanquishing the devilish rogue elephant'.
The Chola king who was neighbor of the Pandya King in those days; Pandya was practicing Shaivism, Chola was practicing Jainism. Practicing Jainism is not wrong, it's ok. But somehow he got influenced by the pseudo Jain priests who were black magicians, and they performed black magic ritual and sent a illusory elephant. Please understand, actual elephant you can kill it easily. They sent a illusory elephant, seeing which all the elephants, army, everything started running. Not a single animal or human-being is ready to attack that elephant, because it is illusory, just like our patterns and incompletions seeing it you run, run, you don't want to attack. But you don't understand it is illusory. So, the devilish illusory elephant entered the Pandya's army and the whole Pandya's army ran away.
And Mahadeva has promised all the three he will take care, all the three seats he created -- one, the Seat of the Kingdom; other the Seat of the Tamil Language; then the Sarvagjna Peetha, Madurai Adheenam. He promised whenever degradation happens in any one of these, he himself will come down and restore revive, revive it back to its glory. So as per his promise, see, Mahadeva promises in Arunachala he will always be available to the world in these three form -- the deity in the temple, and the hill, and an enlightened being from that place. And same way, Mahadeva also promised whenever there is a degradation in these three seats, and you also need to know, whether fortunately or unfortunately, in the course of time, all these three seats have been merged into one, and only one is alive, that is Sarvagjna Peetha. So that takes the responsibility of ruling, teaching, and keeping the language alive, all the three. So, Mahadeva has committed whenever there is any problem, he himself will assume the human form and revive it.

As per his promise, Mahadeva appeared and, as a dark-skinned hunter. The exact description is the modern-day translation, the modern-day you call 'tall, dark, handsome'. That is the exact word with which the poet is describing how the Mahadeva appeared as a hunter with bow and arrows. And just by the one arrow, the elephant dies. Because it is not elephant actually; it is a delusion. It is a delusion. And the story says, Narasimha himself comes and offers, 'May I be of some seva for you?' Narasimha himself becomes a arrow and the elephant was killed. That is the way Mahadeva protected the Pandya's Kingdom. You are seeing that scene only in today's alankaar.

Let me enter into today's subject. Today's subject for Nithya Satsang: 'STABILITY'. I will continue, I will continue on Stability.
Even all these things, the deities, decorations, art, all these things inspires stability.
Please understand, understand this one example. Come to the listening space. Understand this one example: Oxford, Harvard universities, I think now, more than hundreds of years old. Those universities last hundreds of years, I don't know, hundred or may be hundred to two-hundred years old, all these institutions, due to the hundreds of years of experience, educating generations of people, they mastered the art of educating.
Please understand, the perfection which can never come by one or two generation. All of you are getting it? Suddenly, you somehow poison all those administrators mind and make that whole both the places into monastery. Can they excel, compete with us, with the traditional monastery, helping people to achieve completion and enlightenment? No. Any specialization happens by stability. Please understand, when you are stable in that department and continues to expand in that field, specialization happens. And I wanted also you to know one more thing: Stability does not mean 'stuck'. So we started believing, 'Stability means 'stuck'. So, let us not bother about stability and our tradition.'
The Sthapathi, means, the traditional artist, Sthapathis are people, like they know the architecture, building, making deities and science of medicine, all the art, they will know.
