Message for 2013: Enrich with Enlightenment

Taken from Nithyananda’s Daily Discourse given to a live audience on 1st January, 2013 in

Bidadi Ashram, Bangalore

This year’s core message wiTh which we will all work is “Enriching with Enlightenment!”

This simple sTaTemenT has many layers - enriching yourself, enriching others, enriching the whole world with enlightenment! Bring integrity into the words which you utter to others and to yourself. Bring authenticity in the way you hold yourself and the way others experience you. Bring responsibility in your inner space for every happening. Drop the past record; past track never gives you the confidence for future possibilities. Unless you see the possibility, life does not flow in you. The excitement does not happen in you. Past record always brings a deep sorrow because past record by its nature is death. Possibility by its very nature is life.

These four words are The keys to enrich with enlightenment: Integrity, authenticity, responsibility, enriching.

inTegriTy means inTegriTy in The words and the thoughts. You should have integrity in the words you utter to others and to yourself. Stand by your word. When you are ready to give your life for the words you utter, those words will become reality.

Bring auThenTiciTy in The way you hold yourself for yourself and for others to perceive you. Enrich yourself with authenticity. When you have integrity and authenticity, when you are ready to give your life to fulfill your words, the cosmos itself intervenes and fulfills your words.

responsiBiliTy empowers you. whenever you feel responsible for everything that is happening, all the problems get dissolved and just disappear. An important secret to feel responsible without becoming powerless is - never give up on people! I never give up on people even when they give up on me. I continue to work on them.

Take This as an imporTanT key. This is the math of life, the number of people on whom you have given up are the negatives in your life, and the people you have still not given up on are the positives of your life. Make the balance sheet of your life. This will decide whether you are in profit or loss, whether you are in success or failure. Whether you are a failure or a success is not decided by the incidents but by your spirit. Nothing has been lost if you have not lost the inspiration.

whaT are a few years? Time is eternity.

9 guru vaak

I am going to be available continuously here for

eternity even after I leave the body. When I am in

the body I will be doing this, when not in the body,

I will do same thing in a different plane. Similarly,

you will be doing this when you are in this body

and you will do the same thing when you leave

the body in a different plane. If inspiration is lost

then everything is lost. By the divine grace of Kala

Bhairava, Mahadeva, we have not lost inspiration.

So nothing is lost!

life happens To you ouTside. Life happens

to you in relation to others, not with you.

Enrich them. Only by enriching them your life

gets enriched. Don’t be selfish, your life does

not happen to you only inside you. Let’s see

experientially where life is happening to you. You

have to stand where your experience of life is.

Experience of life happens to you based on others.

Unless you enrich others with enlightenment,

your life is not going to be completely enriched

with enlightenment. If you have to learn only

one thing from me, learn that I never give up on

people. If you give up on people very soon you will

give up on yourself. You will lose your confidence.

enriching wiTh enlighTenmenT means

enrich yourself and others with these four great

truths - integrity, authenticity, responsibility,

enriching, and not giving up. Let the whole

universe be enriched with enlightenment. `

The Story of Saint Dakshinamurthy

This is The sTory of a great saint called Dakshinamurthy Swamigal, a Paramahamsa who always lived a life of freedom and a very highly evolved enlightened being from the southern part of India who used to sit in the forest under a banyan tree. His presence was so intense and powerful that one could touch and see God.

one day The official poeT of the king’s court sang thousand verses on Saint Dakshinamurthy praising the power and the heroic qualities of that Master, conferring upon him the honor named ‘bharani’ which is the honor given to great warriors who kill one thousand elephants in the war. When the king came to know about this his ego got hurt because the king was the only guy who had killed thousand elephants in the war in the whole region and so he was the only guy who had that song and title. Now the deeply hurt king called the poet and asked him to justify his decision of singing the same thousand songs about that naked beggar who was sitting under the banyan tree and threatened him that else he would cut the poet’s head. The poet calmly explained that he did not have any reason or justification

but was not afraid to die since his body and mind had already experienced whatever maximum peak could be experienced in the saint’s presence and in the best interest of the king asked him to visit the saint just once and sit in his presence.

forTunaTely, even Though The king was caught by ego, got inspired by the many stories he had heard about enlightened beings in the earlier times and decided to visit the saint. The king went with his whole paraphernalia to visit the saint sitting under the banyan tree. There was such an intense vibrating silence. The moment king entered the Banyan tree’s shadow, something happened in him. If a person observed an intense silence in the master’s body language, whether they want it or not, it will penetrate their inner space. This is what happened to the king who had originally come with the idea of shouting at or questioning the saint.

The Transmission of silence happened between the Master and the king. All that the king received was one

sat and because the king sat, the whole

army sat and Master again resumed into

the silence. The silence was so intense that

neither did the king want to break it nor he

had the energy or guts to break it. Even after

a week had passed, beyond logic the king did

not feel any thirst or hunger or even the idea

of time. And the story says after one week,

the Master was so compassionate that he

just moves his eyes, looks to his poet, his

disciple and in a very jovial way says that he

thought the kingdom needed the king back.

He smiles and suddenly all of them come

back to the normal mind or mood. They

realized one week had passed; there was

no thought, no communication, no food

or water or sleep, but only deep fulfillment

physically, mentally and spiritually.

beautiful huge temple and mutt under the

same banyan tree in the place in southern

India known as Thiruvarur. And in the

temple he had this whole story engraved

with his earnest sharing of how he ended

up requesting the poet to write more on the

saint since one thousand verses of ‘bharani’

looked too less for him.

The Benefits of Almonds

What’s in an almond?

When conSumed in moderation, up to ten nutS a day, almonds provide essential

proteins and Vitamin E for the body. They are rich in magnesium, calcium, iron, phosphorus,

potassium, zinc and manganese. If taken in excess, they can cause vitiation in the balance of the 3

doshas, thereby leading to gastrointestinal disturbances.

What does an almond do?

SWeet almondS Which poSSeSS a mild SWeet taSte and hot potency are the best for

pacifying Vata dosha (Air-element) in the human body. As per the science of Ayurveda, almonds

lubricate the skin and the micro-circulatory channels and support all the seven dhatus (tissues),

especially Shukra dhatu (reproductive tissues) and the Ojas (the overall vitality). Due to their heavy

nature, one needs a strong jataara agni (digestive fire), to metabolize them.

almondS (botanical name prunuS amygdaluS) are the oldeSt and most widely

grown of all the nut crops. Whole almond seeds are eaten raw or roasted, while almond oil is used

as massage oil for alleviating dryness in the skin and scalp hair. Almonds are highly regarded in

Ayurveda for their nutritional value and Vata - pacifying (Air element-pacifying) effect.

19 siddha & ayurveda

How are almonds to be consumed?

the outer Skin of almondS can be hard to digest, so Ayurvedic texts suggest

prior soaking in water. The best way to prepare them is to soak them overnight and

peel the skin off in the morning. This enhances their digestibility to a great extent. If

eaten without soaking, they can aggravate Pitta (fire element) in the blood.

in caSeS of a dry cough (cough not associated with phlegm), dryness of

mouth or hoarseness of voice, one can take peeled almonds (which previously have

been soaked overnight), and roast them in a small amount of cow’s ghee (clarified

butter), until they turn slightly brown and give off their characteristic aroma. They

can also be sprinkled with a pinch of table salt. Consumed thus, they give immediate

relief.

for a reJuvenated and clear face, a homemade face pack can be used.

For making this pack, three to four almonds which have been soaked overnight are

taken and made into a paste. To this, milk cream and a teaspoon of sandal powder are

added and mixed in a bowl. This paste is applied as a face pack and left until dry. It is

then washed off to leave the skin looking fresh and glowing. This can be attributed to

the Vitamin E content and the skin penetrating effect of almonds.

almondS can prove very beneficial for pregnant Women for

maintaining their health and aiding in fetal development. The combination of 2-3

soaked and peeled almonds, a little red sugar candy and a little saffron, ground well,

can be taken along with cold milk every night for optimum results.

almondS alSo contain Several nutrientS than can help to enhance

memory and improve brain function. They can be especially beneficial for growing

children. A traditional way to incorporate almonds into their daily diet is to consume

them in the form of almond milk. It is a much more delicious and healthy alternative

to many of the off-the-shelf packaged drinks and easy to make. Eight to ten almonds

are taken and soaked overnight. The peeled almonds are blended along with milk in

a mixer/grinder and sweetened with jaggery or honey. One can also add cardamom

powder and saffron to it for additional flavor.

thuS almondS offer a hoSt of benefitS, and can form an important part

of a sattvic diet.

20be unclutched!

Taken from Nithyananda’s Discourse on the Patanjali Yoga Sutras in March, 2009 in Vancouver, Canada

Unclutch as a Couple!

How to be unclutcHed as a couple? You will be

able to be a couple without friction only if you are

#first able to unclutch yourself. Body and mind

are just like husband and wife. If you know how to

clutch and unclutch your body and mind without

creating friction and within yourself, you will know

how to clutch and unclutch with your spouse.

wHat tHe mind wants is different from what the

body wants. What a man wants from a relationship

is different from what a woman wants. The man

has to decide to become a woman to be in a

relationship. Likewise, a woman has to decide

to be a man to be in a relationship. The woman

should understand she should become a man and

give what a man wants; Man should understand he

should become a woman and share what a woman

wants. The Mind should understand to become the

body and stand by the body as it wants. The Body

should understand the mind and stand by the mind

as it wants.

lets use tHe term “SamSar is SamSar”. It is the

greatest Samsar when you understand how to be

in the other’s space. All great things are achieved

by effort. You need to spend time and energy to

understand. Understanding is the shortest route.

For a good relationship, you need to input some

work. You need to be sensitive about the whole

thing. A Relationship is not a business. It is not a

bargain. It is an art where you need to spend time,

energy, intelligence, and creativity!

relationsHips do Have many benefits. If you are

interested in a relationship, you will have to work for

it. Working with the relationship itself is a sadhana (

spiritual practice).

learn to be unclutcHed so that you can be intensely,

lovingly, and deeply clutched without friction. The

extraordinary joy of sharing love can become a

lifestyle for couples when you just know how to

unclutch and know where to set the boundaries -

Where the other person needs you and where you

need yourself. The whole fight is always within.

Unclutching leads to blissful relationships. The mahavakya of Nithyananda, “Unclutching” happens on creating a space where we live with integrity.

21 be unclutched!

your need to be yourself and the other person’s

need for yourself actually never clashes, but you

create it in your imagination saying it clashes.

Then saying “No” to the other person becomes an

important identity for you! You start building your

identity whenever you say “No” to the other person

or when you torture the other person. Thousands

of marriages break everyday just because of this

misunderstanding - believing that saying “No” to

the other person is saying “Yes” to yourself. When

you say “No” to the other in ignorance, you are

actually saying “No” to yourself. Because you don’t

really look in and ask: ‘Am I really saying Yes for me

or am I just saying “No” for the sake of saying “No”

to the other person?’ If you look in, you will realize

that the “Yes” to the other person and the “Yes” in

you never clash with each other. You need to know,

understand and remember this basic truth. Saying

“No” the other person is not always saying “Yes”

to you and saying “Yes” to you is not always saying

“No” to the other person.

even if you Have made the decision of marriage out

of ignorance, don’t continue to live in ignorance.

Ignorance can be destroyed. That is the greatness

of ignorance.

22main story

Life starts with Completion!Taken from the collected talks of Nithyananda on the subject of “Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility

& Enriching” delivered in December, 2012, January & February, 2013

‘poornaTva’, life sTarTs wiTh compleTion

the foundation for enriching With enlightenment is ‘poornatva’ - completion of all the patterns you carry. What is a pattern? It is an action unfulfilled as per your fantasy - either because of outside hindrance or inside hindrance. It is incompletion. If your expectations are not met by your own self or by persons outside, they remain as incomplete. For example, you always wanted to wake up early morning and practice yoga but you never succeeded in that; it remains as an incompletion. You always wanted your father to be very loving and caring and he never honoured your expectation. That remains as an incompletion.

completing all the incompletionS iS the basic step in life. For whatever hurts you are carrying inside, reach out to the person involved and complete with him/her. If you are not able to reach out to that person, atleast sit in front of a mirror, invoke that person’s presence and complete. Unless poornatva happens, nothing can be done. Life does not start.

Same Way, if you have certain fantasies or ideas about you within your own self, either fulfill them or drop them. If you can afford to fulfill them with your adopted lifestyle, then fulfill

them. If you can’t fulfill it authentically with your adopted lifestyle, drop those ideas and fantasies. Authentically listen to the cries of your heart.

23 main story

Your heart continues to cry for your attention. Listening does not mean you will just do whatever your heart says. Even if you are ready to give your ear to your heart, after telling, your heart says, ‘It is okay. You have heard me, that is enough.’ Many a time even in your family, in your team, people do not want you to solve their problems; they just want you to listen to their problems. Once you listen even if you don't solve the problems, it is okay.

completion can happen in three WayS. First is ‘Svapoornatva’, completing with yourself. Second is ‘poornatva’, completing with others. Third is catharsis. There are some incompletions like your incompletion with a tree, a river, a ghost etc. These can be completed through catharsis.

prayashchiTTa, resToring inTegriTy

prayaShchitta meanS reStoring the completion of your chitta. Chitta means mind or inner space. Restoring the completion of your mind is prayashchitta. Prayashchitta is not going back to inauthentic ways. Prayaschitta is what you will do in order to remind yourself not to go back to your inauthentic ways again and restoring the damage done to yourself and others. Prayaschitta is not punishment. It is a technique to remember not to fall back into inauthenticity again. You need to think about how the restoration can happen. If you feel, ‘Just by my commitment I have restored, I have done prayashchitta, I don’t need to do anything else’, that is perfect, you can go ahead. It is finally you who is important, not anything else. As I said, even for one person to become authentic is worth a hundred crores. Because, even if a few authentic people are left to live in this world, I know for sure that the torch which I brought to this world will be kept alive forever. Everywhere the light of authenticity is what keeps you live and radiates light for others to live.

there are four ruleS of prayashchitta that the person who is giving the prayashchitta to someone must always keep in mind. There should be 1) no anger on the person who is doing

24main story

prayashchitta 2)no favouritism of the person who is doing prayashchitta 3) no keeping in mind about personal relationships 4) no anger on the person that the person missed doing the task for which the prayaschitta is being given.

sponTaneous lying sTops The masTer’s grace on you!

SpontaneouS lying iS the firSt Step which prevents the Master’s energies from transforming you. I can see people still maintaining this pattern. Whether it is in your office, in your house or anywhere else, spontaneous lying prevents your further transformation in life. When you spontaneously lie to your wife, what she is supposed to add in your life will never be added. You may expect her to add love to your life. But

if you have the pattern of spontaneously lying, she will never be able to add this to your life. The same goes for the wife, if you have this pattern of spontaneous lying with your husband, you will never feel security from him. Spontaneously lying is the silliest pattern with which you stop the Master’s grace on you.

the firSt effect of the Sun riSing will be the fog clearing, the temperature rising, flowers blooming. The first effect of authenticity will be that you stop lying spontaneously. You are still lying spontaneously to save your skin. When you are cornered, countered, out of fear, you blurt out a lie. Still the first step of authenticity has not happened in you. Spontaneous lying prevents transformation from happening in you. Spontaneous lying is like a shield which prevents the Master’s energy from working on you. The

25 main story

spontaneous lying pattern stops me from giving you any blessing. Break this spontaneous lying. The most difficult part, but the first step for transformation is breaking this spontaneous lying pattern. lack of integrity meanS: If there is an ulcer in the stomach and your intestines are dehydrated, your mouth will smell. If you eat a radish, your belch will smell of it. If you are dishonest, your mouth will smell of spontaneous lies. Spontaneous lying is the skin of the seed which is unbroken: the seed cannot become a tree. I want each one of you to look at your life and find which zones in your life where you are adopting spontaneously lying.

how can a Banyan seed Become a Banyan Tree?

there iS a banyan Seed that gets dropped on land. The seed is in one corner. The Banyan tree is saying, ‘Come on seed, sprout! I am your anyakara. My anyakara (expectation and views of someone else about you) about you is that you can be me. I am your expectation about you.’

the banyan tree tellS the Seed, ‘Become me. “Become the Banyan tree”, is my expectation about you.’ And, becoming the Banyan tree should be the seed’s expectation also.

yeS, the Seed needS time to become the

Banyan tree, true. But, the timer starts moving only when the seed declares, ‘I will become the banyan tree!’ When does the seed start sprouting? The clock does not start when the seed is still in confusion or rationalizing. It starts when you declare, “I am standing with, by, for the anyakara of Swamiji.”

‘i Will Stand…’

no! that iS debating. The seed can sit there and debate for 1,000 years or 2,000 years and still nothing happens. If it is stuck with this concept, ‘Oh, when will I become this Banyan tree?’ it never happens. Only when the seed says, ‘I AM standing, I will become the anyakara of this tree’, does the clock start. Even if you have one doubt, ‘Oh how can I become like him?’, your clock hasn’t even begun ticking. The time period of a thousand years, which is the time it takes for the seed to mature into a tree, does not even start until the seed gives the declaration, the affirmation of standing up to embrace the anyakara of the Banyan tree, to become a Banyan tree. Without the declaration, time may be passing by, but the clock of the 1000 years does not even start.

the firSt opening happenS in the Seed when it sprouts. The first stoppage in the sprouting of the seed is the spontaneous lying pattern.

Venue: Hindi Bhawan, 11 Vishnu Digambar Marg. New Delhi - 110002

Have you wondered why the experience we receive from life is always the same, no matter how much we strive

to alter it? Our endeavors to find happiness, success and better relationships may yield varied results, but at the

end we are usually left feeling that nothing has changed. The reason for this limited experience of life is the

behavioral patterns which are deeply engraved inside us. Each pattern is associated with one of the seven major

energy centers (chakras) in our system, which subtly influence our emotional behavior.

In this intensive 2-day workshop, we learn to apply the four sacred principles* of blissful living, to heal our

chakras and go beyond the influence of these limiting behavioral patterns.

Relive ...

29 technique

a beautiful verSe in the Patanjali Yoga Sutras, ‘Samskara sakshat karanaat purvajati jnanam’ states that by doing samyama (an intense spiritual process) on the previous thought waves, one obtains knowledge of their past lives. Swami Vivekananda translates this as ‘through the perceiving of impressions comes the knowledge of past life.’ This is a very powerful technique. Once, a claustrophobic person re-lived a past life wherein he was buried alive in an earthquake. It became evident that once the trauma was released he was able to overcome the fear, exhibiting strong healing evidence of reliving the past.

‘SanShaya’, or doubt, iS a demon that makes life uncomfortable for you everywhere. The extraordinary tamas (lethargy) creates an intense doubt about everything in life. There are different levels of doubt - doubting persons, doubting relationships etc. The extreme is doubting the very space you are living in. Claustrophobia is nothing but an extraordinary doubt; doubting even the very space one lives in. If a person is claustrophobic, they can meditate on that samskara (engraved memory from the past) questioning themselves why they feel the way they feel. This will open the first and second layer of past. In the same way, if a person has the fear of projecting their past trauma or doubt, or have a distrusting relationship with someone, they have to dig into it. This way, one will be able to rewind their first layer and second layer past, not just from this birth but from earlier lives too. It is a very powerful process for past life regression.

every moment, the SamSkaraS and experiences added, and the strategies and decisions made are responsible for the future. So, analyzing the past and healing the past is the right way to create the right strategy for the future.

healing the paSt meanS nothing but learning the lessons from past life incidents which were supposed to be learned when they happened. When any incident which happens in life is dealt with awareness, all the lessons needed to be learned will become energy and all the unnecessary things will just leave the mind. It’s just like a digestion process. But when a person does not have enough awareness and patience, they dump that incident inside them as an engram (engraved memory) and decide to take care of it later on. These stored engrams which have not become intelligence in a person are the past wounds. Now re-living them with intelligence will digest them naturally, letting the energy and the wisdom stay while the unnecessary part will just automatically disappear from the system. This is called healing the past. Whatever is right becomes part of life and whatever is not needed leaves the system, hence healing the past.

To Relieve

30esoteric realms

Unrevealed Mysteries of the Mystics

Beings who reveal the unrevealed mysteries to the world are called incarnations. With tremendous

compassion and love, so that the human consciousness

can experience the unrevealed super consciousness,

incarnations reveal these mysteries. I will give a glimpse

of the science behind miracles using an example. The

human body, which represents the individual self, is like

a mirror that reflects the rays of the sun, where the sun

represents the super consciousness. These rays fall on

the mirror creating a reflection which represents the

world.

Suffering is created when the mirror accepts

some parts of the reflection and rejects some other

parts, instead of looking up towards its source. When

this happens for a while, the mirror slowly misses its

purpose of existence and loses itself into experiencing

fear, rejection, pain, sorrow and horror because of

liking and disliking something instead of looking back

towards the source. Furthermore, since the human body

is a reflection of the super-consciousness, it changes its

form based on its likes and dislikes. That is why when an

individual fantasizes about food, music, sex or anything

else the very quality of the body changes based on the

fantasy. Thus the very quality of the body is changed

based on its likes and dislikes. When the mirror starts

looking back towards its source instead of being caught

up in liking or disliking some parts of the reflection, it is

called sadhana or period of intense spiritual practice..

Siddhars (beings who have attained the

flawless identity with Reality or God) have revealed that

every human body has 72000 minor nadis (according

to traditional Indian spiritual science the nadis are the

channels through which the wind or air is said to flow),

24 major nadis and one central nadi. So based on each

attraction and fantasy of the individual, one of the nadis

will be engaged. For eg, if an individual has a craving for

a particular food, then one nadi will retain the memory

about that food craving and the satisfaction that is

enjoyed by that individual when he or she is eating

that particular food. Similarly nadis store memories

about people or objects that cause fear, tension, worry,

attachment and other emotions. If the individual uses

too many nadis then he or she is caught up in pravritti

(worldly life). If the individual is flowing towards the

source from which it reflects, then he or she is living

nivritti (an enlightened life).

Many people are caught up with too many

choices in the world without possessing choice-less

awareness. Too many nadis are engaged in these choices

and that is responsible for drugs, teenage suicide and the

deep depression that modern day youth is facing. Living

with too many choices without possessing the choice-

less awareness is like having hundreds of varieties of

food in front of a person whose tongue is cut off. It is a

dangerous idea.

If all the 72000 nadis are spent on what is seen

without looking back at the source, then that person is

in depression. Out of the 72000 nadis, if at least 10,000

Taken from Nithyananda’s Daily Discourse delivered on 4th December, 2010 in Bidadi Ashram, Bangalore, India

31 esoteric realms

are focused towards the source then that individual is

living a balanced life. This can be done by spending an

hour or two centered on higher ideals, centered on the

super consciousness. If 50% of the nadis are diverted

towards the source, then that person is living a jeevan

mukta (enlightened) life. That individual does not need

to bother about the focus of the remaining 50% of the

nadis.

If the focusing of the nadis towards the source

is established, then the individual will start expressing

miracles. More than 10,000 nadis of an individual can

be centered towards super consciousness when his/her

kundalini energy (the dormant potential force that lies

at the base of the spine of a human being) is awakened.

According to the siddha tradition, when the kundalini

is awakened in a person, if he/she can lift something

equivalent to their own body weight it is called “bal”. If a

person has one “bal”, either the left or the right nadi will

be perfect. Similarly if

the person can lift twice

his/her weight, he/she is

said to possess two “bals”

and in that person both

the nadis will be active

and alive. If the person

possesses three “bals”,

then all three nadis are

active and at least 10,000

nadis out of the 72000 are

centered towards super

consciousness. When I awakened the kundalini of my

ashramites (a person

committed to practise

the sannyas lifestyle in an

ashram) they were able to

lift 2-3 times of their own

body weight without any

effort. I can demonstrate

the same even with the participants however I strongly

caution that it should be done in controlled conditions

and only under the direct guidance of an enlightened

master. I can do all these miracles and create time

out of consciousness because all my 72000 nadis are

centered on the source and I am completely free from

my reflection.

How I Became a Yogi

nirahari lifestyle

By Sumithra Swaminathan, Bangalore, india

This is a journey of an ordinary housewife to a Yogi - a Nirahari (One who does not intake solid food).

i always ThoughT a yogi is someone who, after renouncing everything, goes to the Himalayas; someone who does tapas (penance), standing on one leg and achieving great powers like living without food, materializing objects, developing the power to take prana from the air. Someone who exhibits extraordinary powers which a normal householder cannot even imagine. Little did I know that there is a hidden yogi in each and every one of us. These powers, which are hidden in our bio-memory, can be brought back to life with the help of an incarnation without doing any tapas from our side. When I became a Nirahari, it was a shock for me to find out that I can actually live without food.

if you are wondering if it can happen to you, the answer is: yes! All you require is just 21 days of your time and 21 initiations from the master to find out that your body does not need food to survive anymore.

when i wenT for ‘The samyama’ (Nirahara Samyama program - beyond fasting and feasting), I thought that I would be living without solid

food, just on juices and buttermilk for 21 days; that I would have increased awareness on how I eat, that my eating pattern will change (maybe I will eat less) once I get back to my home. Now I know that I will follow all this as a lifestyle.

living wiThouT food didn’T jusT give me good health, but also courage and clarity towards life. All our actions are based on what society has taught us. When you know through direct experience that you don’t need food to survive, you feel a total freedom. You have your whole life in front of you which you can enjoy as you wish. You can go after your dream instead of money (which we earn for food), not out of fear or greed but out of simple choice - the choice made out of freedom.

whaT happened To me in the 21 days other than my whole life changing?

my physical Body changes were as follows. First my excess fat got reduced. I lost 10 kg in the first few days into the Samyama (spiritual process) and stopped reducing after that. My face looked younger (anti- aging started happening) and a new sense of respect towards my body started to happen. The feeling of how blessed I am to have a body like this and the desire of

33 nirahari lifestyle

wanting to live for more years happened in me. I felt good about myself and started to accept myself, which in itself is a tremendous healing for both body and mind. When you break big patterns like food, a tremendous confidence and courage arises to stand for what you believe in.

jusT a few days Before the Samyama ended I was still not feeling that I could live without food. I shared my concern with Swamiji. I said: “Swamiji, I feel, with your initiations and the group energy and seeing hundreds of people living without food I am able to do it now. But once I go home I have a fear that I will not be able to continue this as my lifestyle.”

swamiji answered: “The iniTiaTion is

so strong you will be able to do it, literally I will

be “bolting” this experience in you all. I have

awakened the bio-memory to absorb prana

directly from ether and your body does not

need food. However, all the mental craving

you have when you see food, you have to take

responsibility for that.” There that was a click for

me. Without me taking the responsibility to be a

yogi, a Nirahari, nothing will happen.

i undersTood Then ThaT wiThouT taking

responsibility, not only in the outer world but

also in the inner world we cannot achieve

anything. Be it a CEO of a big company or a

person doing tapas in the Himalayas; without

the attitude of responsibility nothing can be

achieved. “Surrendering with responsibility is

After THE Samyama

34

enlightenment”. This was a huge click in me.

in The pasT, i have tried to convince many

people living around me about the path I am

traveling, but I was never able to inspire or

convince them. What I was not able to achieve

being a normal housewife following a spiritual

path, I was able to achieve by being a Nirahari.

Instead of me talking about the great truths to

everyone, when I start living them I can inspire

more people to walk on this path. I know now for

sure: action is always stronger than words. Such a

strong courage has happened in me - the courage

not to fight with others but the courage to face

my very own mind - and I know I am winning.

when i decided i will continue to be a

Nirahari, I wondered about myself, the new me

and said: “Loving others is easy. Loving oneself is

more difficult.” And yes, I have fallen in love with

myself, which is the ultimate gift.

if someone can make an ordinary housewife

into a yogi in just 21 days, we can only address and

revere that person in one word: INCARNATION.

Hamsa mantra

there iS a very beautiful upaniShad

called the “Paramahamsa Upanishad”. It says

that anybody who repeats a mantra is a fool.

According to this Upanishad, a psychological

revolution should happen in a person in such

a way that their very breathing should start

repeating the mantra. This can only happen

when they are in a deep peace. This mantra

which is repeated constantly by the breath, is

called Hamsa mantra. The person who is able

to hear the ‘ham’ and the ‘sam’, which is the

sound of inhaling and exhaling, is said to be

established in the Hamsa mantra. Buddha has

always spoken of taking the middle path,

or Madhyapantha. A person who is on the

middle path and is in complete acceptance

of the present moment, as well as the infinite

possibilities of the future, will be able to hear

the ‘ham’ and ‘sam’ sounds of their breathing.

The person who carries this understanding in

their heart for all twenty four hours, including

in the dream state, is a Paramahamsa.

InstructIons

Sit Straight, and very conSciouSly,

with a very strong decision. Intensely create

an intention that you are accepting yourself

as you are, in the outer world and in the inner

world. Tell yourself that you have enough

in the outer world, and enough in the inner

world, and accept yourself completely. Decide

that there is no need to develop yourself in the

outer or inner worlds. Even if you feel you have

have ego, fear, guilt or greed, accept yourself

as you are.

do thiS in a very relaxed way, without

moving your body. Body movements will

create thoughts. If your body is stable it can

take you into a deeper silence. Whatever

objection your mind raises about not accepting

yourself, accept that also. Accept the present

moment and all the future moments. Accept

everything your mind brings up, even the

worst scenarios. Accept all your fears and

worries about the future. If it happens, it is

inevitable, so accept even that.

you do not have to chant any mantra,

just sit with this acceptance. The moment

you accept yourself, there will not be any

thoughts. Automatically you will see that your

breath is flowing with a deep ‘Ham-sam’ sound.

Just become silent and you will be able hear

this mantra repeating constantly. Do not try

to consciously create this sound, it will happen

by itself.

thiS meditation iS not SuppoSed to be

done at any particular time, it is supposed

to be practised constantly. Continuously,

whenever you feel that rajas or restlessness

is happening in you, you should come back

to this state. Initially start doing it with

some simple tasks, like talking to your close

friend, discussing a simple business deal,

playing with a child or moving your body

in a simple way. Try all these small actions

with the balance of Hamsa mantra and you

will see that within a few days, you will be

constantly centered on Hamsa mantra while

performing all your activities.

human beingS are conStantly talking,

either to each other or themselves, and this

is why the Hamsa mantra is never heard. As

one practices this, they will see that their

thoughts will slowly begin to reduce. From

a hundred, they will come down to ten, and

then gradually there will be none. Yet, they

will be able to perform all their daily activities

smoothly, whether professional or personal.

They will be constantly centered on sattva,

with the right understanding of the self as

well as the world, and will fall into the divine.

This is called living enlightenment - to be

liberated while living.

38science meets spirituality

The Science of PranayamaAdapted from Nithyananda’s collected Discourse on the subject of “Pranayama”

The word ‘prana’ has a deeper meaning in Sanskrit; it means the source

of life, the life force or the energy which is the basis for existence. It does not

simply mean air. ‘Prana’ is a kind of vibration which goes inside along with the

breath. This vibration stays inside and continues to add more vibrations or

frequency to the life energy. Even when one feels that the breathing has almost

stopped during deep meditation, prana continues to go in and come out. Prana,

the life force is independent of breathing. During meditation, air going in and

coming out may reduce but the prana going in and settling increases and this is

the main reason why meditation rejuvenates a person.

The practice of breathing without thoughts being awakened is

called the science of pranayama. Now one can understand why the definition

of pranayama as control of breathing might be a misnomer here, because prana

and breathing are not equivalent words. The sacred scripture Patanjali Yoga

Sutras clearly gives the definition of pranayama as cessation of breathing, where

cessation means stopping the very act of breathing which one experiences every

day, every moment, which awakens thoughts along with the air movement.

“Tasmin sati shvasa prashvsayoh gati vichchhedah pranayama”

The science of absorbing the prana or life energy directly without

any unnecessary load on one’s system, and in the highest frequency without

awakening any thoughts, is what Patanjali calls as ‘Pranayama’.

Along with the air movement if thoughts are also awakened, a person

is not inhaling pure prana, the life energy. When there are more thoughts, the

breath will carry lesser life energy inside, and vice-versa. But unfortunately most

of the time one takes in too much of air without any prana flow inside, instead of

the ideal situation of taking in only life energy and no air. Hence there is a need

to learn the science of breathing without giving rise to thoughts. If one’s mind is

interfering with their breathing, it will always be unfulfilled. If one feels that they

have everything in the outer world but still there is no fulfillment, it simply means

their breathing is not fulfilled. The first thing such a person needs to fulfill in their

life is breathing. When one is able to fulfill their breathing, everything will be

fulfilled for them in spite of complexities in the outer world. When this is not the

case, only deep emptiness prevails. Human body is like a desert filled with sand.

Any air movement which happens in the body is similar to the air movement in

39 science meets spirituality

the desert, where the dust is lifted and the whole air

becomes dusty, full of sand. Ordinary body is filled with

so much bio-memory that breathing by its very nature

awakens too many thoughts and makes a person

restless. Hence if one wants to achieve breathing

without any thoughts, they should take up the sadhana

(intense commitment to practice) of integrating

themselves and unclutching. The complete balancing

of prana can happen in a person while unclutching.

Breath is the bridge which connects a person

with the cosmos. It goes through Shiva consciousness

every moment. Every single breath goes in and touches

the inner consciousness. Just before it turns to come

out, there is always a gap where one does not breathe,

where breath is not happening. If one can relax in this

gap and be aware of that space, a sudden explosion of

consciousness can happen in the person. If a person is

comfortable in this neutral zone, they will rejuvenate

again and again and will be flooded with energy. To

be comfortable in this space, all one needs to do is

overcome the fear of losing one’s identity, which does

not exist in this neutral zone. Incoming breath is life

and outgoing breath is death. On every inhale the

40science meets spirituality

person will be filled with energy and on every exhale

with intelligence, leading to a continuous cosmic

game of Shiva and Shakti dancing in one’s inner space.

One becomes active and alive by the energy and

intelligence, which will become the source for their

life. Such a state is what is called God-consciousness.

When constantly thinking with integrity,

all the air taken inside will be converted as energy

or prana. All the air which goes inside, if it becomes

energy by the bio-memory and the muscle memory,

then no other source of energy from outside will be

required. Breathing will be very deep and the person

will have a strong experience of fulfillment.

By Ma Ananda Andal alias Zeina Rezaei, Iran

paraabhakti

nithyanandam! i firSt heard about Sri nithyananda SWami in summers, when I was

in 7th grade. At that time I was going through

depression and I hated myself and wanted to die.

In the summer break my aunt just told me one

day that there is this temple she is going to and

there is a special event. She asked me if I wanted

to come along. I was bored so I went with her

and the moment I walked in the temple I saw the

Krishna and Radha and just fell in love! When I

walked in, this huge light, joy, excitement and life

just exploded into my face. I was so attached to the

temple; I was smiling and just felt like laughing and

dancing after a very long time. I felt so free and

open as if I am a part of it all. After that we visited

the temple every weekend. I just asked my aunt

to take me there and I would go do volunteering

work there.

but later, When i WaS in 8th grade my aunt stopped going to the temple and so I

couldn't go. I went through depression since I was

away from Swamiji. I felt lost and unwanted. Then

suddenly I got an urge to prove my love for him

so I went on a strike until they would take me to

the temple again. I would sit with my Krishna and

Shiva and Ganesha and all the other ones and

Swamiji and I would cry to them all day. At school

I wouldn't even listen to the teacher. I was in my

own world seeing Swamiji’s face everywhere. I

stopped eating food regularly and just kept crying

and praying to Swamiji to allow me to come back

to him.

one night i WaS on facebook and found out Swamiji had a Twitter account. I was kind of

scared to talk to him but I just felt like I should, so

I went on Twitter. I was feeling lost and wanted

him to prove to me that he is God. So I asked him

"Swamiji can you please make a miracle happen

right now to me?" and he said "Hi turn back I am

sitting there and tell me the dress color". I quickly

turned to my left and saw nothing, then turned to

my right and on the table along my bedside, I have

a black and white picture of Swamiji and it says "I

am not here to give you words; I am here to take

you beyond words". That is when I just got shaken.

I was crying in joy, my hands were shaking and I

quickly replied to Swamiji saying "I have a picture

of you behind me and you are wearing white!".

He told me "You will see me in your vision now". I

wrote to him asking how I will see him and if I will

see him in my dream. He said “As you want”. Then

I told him “I am so blessed that you are talking to

me, I have so much to ask you, can we have a chat

in my dream?” and he replied “Ok sweetie.”

theSe chatS that i had With SWamiJi on Twitter made me have no doubt in Swamiji. They

made me grow more close to him. I also asked

him for a spiritual name on Twitter and he gave

me Ananda Andal. During these times, I started

having dreams about Swamiji. One dream was

- I walked into a class and right when I entered I

saw Swamiji sitting on his golden throne wearing

bright orange and Nandi sitting at his feet playing

with a ball. In the dream I wasn't surprised to see

The Divine Leelas of Nithyananda

him there. I started talking with him casually and

he was talking with me casually about school and

other things, and then I went close to his throne.

He was on his IPad, he looked up at me and smiled

and went back to what he was doing. Then I finally

got the nerve to say Swamiji can I have a hug.

He looked at me and looked back at his IPad, so

I thought I did something wrong. I felt really bad

and slowly backed away and was about to cry.

Then Swamiji put his IPad down gave me a little

smile, opened his arms and told me to come! I

was so happy I jumped into his arms and I merged

into him! Then suddenly (I was still hugging him)

behind him became a huge cave and inside there

was a light. I looked closely and saw it was Shiva

himself sitting on the rock meditating! That was

Darshan of Ma Ananda Andal during Inner AwakeningMa Priya Poojitha and Ma Ananda Andal during Inner Awakening

44

a really amazing darshan and the first hug I had

from him!

another experience WaS in ia during one of our darshans when I went up to Swamiji.

I wanted to see if he could read my mind and in

my mind I was thinking Swamiji if you can read my

mind please give me a hug. When he put his hand

on my head he was looking me in the eye and I

knew he got my message after he removed his

hand he pulled me into a hug!

alSo one funny thing happened during ia. One day when Pada Puja was over I was

drinking the water. Priya pulled the cup from

my mouth and made me spill the water all over

myself. Just then we both looked up to the stage,

and saw that Swamiji is laughing at us! Haha it was

embarrassing! Also one more thing that happened

was during breakfast me and Priya Poojitha were

standing in line to get food. Just for fun I lifted

Priya Poojitha and she started screaming and

saying “Put me down what if Swamiji comes and

sees this”. Just when I was about to say “It’s okay”,

Swamiji walked past us. He was laughing at us and

I got shy. So I just threw Priya Poojitha down and

Swamiji walked away laughing at us!

thank you SWamiJi for the beSt ia ever

and for accepting me as your daughter and always

watching over me! You are my mother, father,

God, Guru, and best friend. Without you life is not

sweet and rich! Thank you for being in my life!
