First thing I wanted to tell you today.......

Some more cities are joining: Nithyananda University-Los Angeles, Indrani-New Jersey, Kuala Lumpur-Palani...........

I welcome all of you with my love and blessings.

First thing I wanted to tell you today, I have never even heard that begging can bring so much enthusiasm into a group of people, and first time I am seeing my Facebook is full of photographs of people going for bhiksha, people going for Madhukari bhiksha.  First, I wanted to thank so many devotees who are millionaires, some even billionaires, going out for bhiksha just because I said.  I thank you guys for your sincerity....for your sincerity.  I saw Ma Nithya Nirmalananda – Bhanu – going for bhiksha!  First she started with her husband!  And, everyone, everyone all over the world, doing it so sincerely!  I am so happy, overwhelmed!  In every city, all over the world, people taking it up as a spiritual practice!

Understand, we are not going for any gain for bhiksha.  It is the “bhiksha prachaara yaathra”.  This is the way we enrich and reach out to people.  This is the way we enrich and reach out to people.  How Mahadeva reached out!  He went for bhiksha to Taraka Vana.  Did he not have something, or did he want something that he went to beg to Taraka Vana Rishis?  No!  He went and gave them enlightenment and removed their ego and came back.  He only gave them enlightenment.  He only removed their ego.  The Yogi of Yogis, Maha Yogi, Adi Guru, Dakshinamurthy, when he comes down for bhiksha vandhana, please understand, he is there to give you.  All of you are embodiments of Mahadeva, Mahadeva Swaroopa. 

Yesterday I was reading some Facebook post about bhiksha vandhana.  Some of them were saying that ‘When we dropped our self-denial and decided “Shivoham”, we saw so much of enriching happening!’  I tell you, it is one of the most powerful processes to keep the preachers connected to society, society connected to preachers.  See, when people achieve the highest states of enlightenment, they need to be constantly reminded to come and teach that space, transmit that experience to humanity.  So, some way you need to be tied with each other; these guys have to be tied with them, and they have to be tied with these guys.  That is why the tradition made acharyas live the lifestyle of bhiksha vandhana.  Live the lifestyle of bhiksha vandhana, going around, enriching people.  Please understand, that is the first purpose.

Today, I wanted to tell all of you guys, everyone who goes for bhiksha vandhana, you should first give something to them, either a Blessing Card, or Vibhoothi, or a rudraksha, or a flyer, or information about our activities.  First you should GIVE.  They should know that you have come to GIVE.  Then explain about what we are doing and tell them to support in whatever way they can.  They coming to the programme and attending, even that is a great support, because, our purpose is to enrich the whole world.  If they are getting enriched, it is one work less for us; one more person is joining to enrich himself and enrich others, enrich the world.  So, understand, anybody coming to attend even our programme, or giving you a handful of rice, or one penny, in every way, everyone is directly supporting us....supporting us, understand?  It is the way they express their support.  It is the way they celebrate who we are.  It is the way they celebrate what we are doing.  So, understand, the bhiksha vandhana is one of the best, most powerful spiritual reach-out programmes designed by Mahadeva himself.

From the time of Mahadeva, till now, this is the only reach-out method which is not outdated.  Everything else can be outdated.  Putting posters can be outdated after some time.  See, putting posters is completely outdated in the U.S., because nobody walks in the street.  Any method, in some countries it will be useful, in some countries it will be outdated.  But this method of out-reach can never be outdated – most powerful in all countries, all over the world, in all places.  So, understand, this is the way we reach out to people.  I think, this is the reason why the Masters have asked to live on bhiksha.  From Sadashiva, Mahadeva, to Buddha, to Adi Shankara, Kapila, all the great Masters of Planet Earth lived through bhiksha, lived by going around and begging.  And, this is one of the most powerful enriching methods.  Wherever Buddha went for bhiksha, it looks like he is stretching his begging bowl in front of the king.  Within a few hours, the king stretches his hands in front of Buddha begging for Sannyas!  So, he gives him Sannyas.  Understand, this is the scene wherever Buddha goes!  This is the scene wherever Buddha goes! 

It is such an amazing, unimaginable joy and celebration to live on Madhukari Bhiksha.  Once, Ramakrishna, when he was initiating his disciples into Sannyas....  He was training some of his close disciples, youngsters, for Sannyas life.  So, he wants to train them.  He sent a bunch of his disciples and told them, ‘Go and beg from door to door and bring me the food.’  The disciples go and beg from door to door, and whatever they got they come and cook and bring to Ramakrishna.  He takes and puts the food on his head, he touches the food with his head, he respects, and then puts it in his mouth and says, ‘This is the most purest food, most purest food!’  Even if you receive from one person, it is a commitment; that person’s patterns will come to you; you will have to oblige him; you may become impure; you may become committed.  But, this Madhukari Bhiksha is the most purest food!  Ramakrishna says, ‘This is the right and best way a seeker should live.’ 

And, I am so happy that thousands and thousands of my Thanedars, Kotharis, Mahants all over the world are reaching out to people, enriching the world, and living their life.    I am going to create millions of people who enrich the world.  Understand, we are not parasites of society.  We are enrichers of society!  We enrich society!  Society may give us just a little food and cloth; we give them LIFE!  Society is not all about the infrastructure – building bridges, dams, gadgets, cars.  No!  It is all about what kind of thought-trend people cherish, what kind of decisions people make, what kind of relationships people have, what kind of space they carry, what kind of life they live.  We are the designers of Socio-Spiritual Conscious Elevation Programme.  Socio-Spiritual Conscious Elevation Programme!  We are the pioneers of Socio-Spiritual Conscious Elevation, understand?  Our Sangha is the pioneer of Socio-Spiritual Conscious Elevation.

Go around!  Go around!  Let the world know that Hindus may come like beggars, but they enrich us.  Hindus may look like beggars, but they are the greatest enrichers!  Hindus may come to our doors like beggars, but they enrich us by teaching us how to live like kings!  The science of living like Masters will be taught to the world by the people who look like beggars!  And, go around, go around all over the world!  Reach out, enrich!  Reach out, enrich!  Enrich the whole universe!  Enrich the whole universe!  Enrich everyone!

I am telling you, really I am telling you, it is the strength of our consciousness, it is the strength of our consciousness that forms life, that makes life, not the house in which we are living, or the car which we are driving, or our bank balance.  No!  No!  Nothing of that decides the quality of our life.  The quality of our life is decided by the strength of our consciousness.  I tell you, it is the strength of your consciousness.  The strength of your consciousness can surprise you beyond even your self-doubt!  See, whenever you strengthen your consciousness by Completion, at one corner there will be some self-doubt: ‘Am I really complete?  Am I really worthy of miracles?  Am I really worthy of life?’  But the strength of your consciousness works, delivers beyond the self-doubt which happens.  It is beyond the self-doubt!

I tell you, enriching is one of the best ways to strengthen your consciousness.  When you enrich people, when you enrich others, when you reach out, please understand, in the process of reaching out, you will be  facing many questions from outside which you are facing from inside but avoiding to answer, avoiding to look in.  Many people were telling me who went for Madhukari Bhiksha, ‘When I am in self-denial, people ask me exactly the same kind of questions!’  One of my ashramites went for bhiksha and came and said, ‘People are closed.’  I said, ‘No!  You are closed.  People are mirror of us!’  Within the next few days, even I am planning.  I am going to go around house to house asking for bhiksha.  That is the way even I am going to reach out and enrich people.  That will solve the whole mental blockages; it will melt and complete all the mental blockages. 

I told all our ashramites, ‘Enrich the world and share whatever you receive with the world.’  More and more enriching, more and more reaching out, more and more strengthening, more and more consciousness!  Understand, when you enrich others more and more, life will throw on your own inner-space that which you are avoiding to face, don’t want to face.  So, it will help you to grow more and more.  It will help you to awaken more and more.  Going for bhiksha will be one of the most powerful ways of looking at your own blind spots which you don’t want to look at.  It will make you a Brahmana!  It will make you a Sannyasi!  When Brahmanas and Sannyasis have stopped going for bhiksha, that is when the degeneration of the Vedic Tradition has started, because, the connection between the society and them is lost.  The connect is lost!  So, people do not know why Brahmanas and Sannyasis exist, and Brahmanas and Sannyasis don’t know why people are not listening to us.  These guys got into impossibility: ‘Nobody listens to us nowadays.  Society has changed.’  And people have started asking: ‘Why these people are just sitting and eating like parasites?’  When the disconnect happens, dethroning happens just in no time! 

You are all Brahmanas!  By your actions you are all Brahmanas, understand.  Learning and living, enriching, the Science of Enlightenment, is the first priority of Brahmanas.  Whoever does that, all of you are doing that, so you all are Brahmanas!  So understand, by the way of enriching, going out and enriching, you will re-establish the connect, connect with society the spiritual practitioners and society.  The connection will be established.  That is the way again the revival of Sanatana Dharma will happen, the revival of spiritual tradition will happen.

So, with this, I bless you all! 

The essence of today’s satsangh:

REACH OUT!  REACH OUT!  REACH OUT!  THAT IS THE ONLY WAY YOU WILL BE ENRICHING!

With this, I bless you all!  Let you all radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility, Enriching and Causing eternal bliss, Nithyananda!  Thank you!
