I welcome all of you with my love and blessings.

Blessings from Ananda Vana, Ananda Gandha madhye!  Mahadeva – Nithyam Adwitheeyam Ishta Daivatham Niranjanam – who is eternally in the space of non-duality, loved by everyone and loves everyone, embodiment of beyond purity and impurity!

Nice to be here in the Ananda Vana, and nice to have all of you in Ananda Vana.  This place is originally called as Ananda Vana as Mahadeva settled here.  This is the first city Mahadeva created for himself and for his ganas.  The city is older than legends itself.  The city is older than history itself.  If you go to the original Varanasi, the place is called Avimuktha Kshetra – never forsaken.  Even during Pralaya (the great deluge), Mahadeva holds this city in the tip of his trishul (trident), and by raising his trishul he holds the city.  That is why this city is “Oordhwaamnaya”.  It is neither Dakshinaamnaya, nor Uttaraamnaya, or Paschimaamnaya.  It is called “Oordhwaamnaya”.  Shankara describes this city, Shankara divides the world as four parts – southern part, northern part, eastern part, and western part.  But he tells, ‘Kashi is neither southern, nor eastern, nor western, or northern.  He tells, ‘Kashi is “Oordhwaamnaya” – upward direction – the city held by Mahadeva in the tip of his trishul.

I want all of you to know, I am not talking some stories or some old beliefs.  Whatever I am uttering, I am responsible for it.  So, please understand, with all my integrity I am saying, this city is older than history itself, older than legends itself, and this place is really Oordhwaamnaya, never forsaken, Avimuktha Kshetra!  Mahadeva settled here when he was carrying the human body.  This is the first city Mahadeva created, and this is where he started teaching the great science of enlightenment to the world.  All the aspects of enlightenment – Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Siddha Yoga, Tantra, Aghora, Natha – all the great Sampradayas, the traditions of enlightenment, started overflowing from him in this very Ananda Vana.

Originally the place was named as Ananda Vana by Mahadeva.  Even now, in all the sankalpas, puja mantras, Mahadeva is addressed in this place, the place is addressed as Ananda Vana.  Please listen!  Later on, when Ganga came here to have darshan of Mahadeva, two streams – Varuna and Assi – joined in Ganga.  The place between the two streams was renamed as Varanasi. 

Every city has a spiritual name, every deity has a spiritual name in our tradition.  In Tiruvannamalai, the city is named as Arunachala, and the deity is Arunagiri Yogishwara.  Officially the deity is called Arunagiri Yogishwara. So, when the puja is performed, the name Arunagiri Yogishwara only is used.  Same way, in Madurai, the city’s spiritual name is Madurapuri Kshetra, and the deity is called Sundareshwara Mahadeva.  Each city has a spiritual name, and the deity has a spiritual name.  Here, the city’s spiritual name is Ananda Vana, the deity is called Nithyananda!  If you go to Vishwanatha Temple and listen to the sankalpa mantra, you will see the pundits chanting: ‘Ananda Vana, Ananda Gandha Madhye, Nithyanandaya, Idham Na Mama’!  They will be chanting” ‘In the Ananda Vana, in the centre of Ananda Gandha, Nithyananda is offered all this.’  “Idham Na Mama” means, ‘I don’t exist’.  Mahadeva is addressed here as Nithyananda.  The place is addressed as Ananda Vana. 

This is the first Sarvajna Peetha that Mahadeva established.  Means, the Seat of Learning which Mahadeva himself established.  From Mahadeva all the rishis learned.  Then starts the tradition of Narayana.  Narayana was initiated here in the form of Kapila.  Kapila Maharshi took the incarnation of Narayana, Vishnu, lived here, became enlightened here, and left the body here.  His Samadhi is still in Varanasi where he lived and left the physical body he carried.  From Narayana, Padmabhuva, Vasishta, Shakti, Parashara, Vyasa, Shuka, Goudapadha, Govindapadha, Shankara Bhagawathpadha, the Sampradaya continues. 

I am so happy for all of you.  You are all here, in the spiritual capital of the world, to learn the Science of Enlightenment.  If I have to put it more precisely: ‘To experience the Science of Enlightenment from the Source’!  Be rest assured, I am responsible for the last word!  Be rest assured, with all my Integrity and Authenticity, I am giving you the word: YOU ARE LEARNING FROM THE ORIGINAL SOURCE!  You are learning, you are experiencing from the original source in its pristine purity!  Be rest assured about that!  Be rest assured about that! 

I welcome all of you to this Ananda Vana to learn from the Source, experience the Source, the great Science of Enlightenment, the science of life.  This is the place where life started.  This is the place where the science of living started.  This is the place where the Science of Enlightenment is shared first time on the Planet Earth.  I just welcome you all, and in one word if I have to say, I am so happy for all of you!  Happy to be here!  Happy to have all of you with me here!  Get ready for a spiritual blast! 

As I said, this city, if you understand, the most fascinating!  Please understand, this city is literally the Cosmos!  If you understand, you will find such a great order in the chaos.  If you don’t, you will find chaos, so much of chaos in everything!  The persons who understand, for them this city is most fascinating.  If you don’t understand, this will be most frustrating.  Just like life!  Just like life: If you understand, most fascinating!  If not, most frustrating!

Varanasi, Ananda Vana, is just a mirror Mahadeva shows to you.  When you see the mirror, you can be frustrated; you can plan for your threading and make-up, or you can do Completion!  It is all up to you!  Varanasi is a mirror Mahadeva shows to you.  If you understand, this is the most fascinating city; if not, the most frustrating city!  Here, bulls, dogs, beggars, sadhus, great Paramahamsas, dead bodies, snakes, all of us walk together in small lanes, crisscrossing each other again and again, shoulder to shoulder!  All of us have to live together.  You cannot avoid anyone. And, the beauty is, no one hurts each other; everyone is happy to be in others’ space!

I tell you, I never had even one thought that this city is dirty or too congested.  Never ever had one thought!  If you go to the original Ananda Vana, there is no street which is more than three feet.  Please understand, three feet width!  Actually I was contemplating, why?  I read some history books.  They are saying that the city was planned and built before even the bullock-cart was invented!  But I was not ready to believe that!  I consciously scanned the Akashic Records.  I tell you, Kaalabhairava revealed very clearly that now whatever we are using as road is just drainage!  The city was created for the people who had naturally the ability of flying!  So, we never bothered to create roads.  That was the response from Kaalabhairava.  We never had roads, because we never had people who were walking!  Originally, when the city was planned, it was not planned for the people who were walking on the ground; it was planned for the rishis, gandharvas, kinnaras, kimpurushas, ganas, ganadhyas, who were naturally flying and had the power of levitation and flying.  They were living here.  So, we never had the need for roads.  The buildings are just the places where they just assumed the human body and taught this science or learned this science.  Learned from the Masters, taught to disciples!  So, this was the oldest city, the oldest university, oldest hospital, and oldest monastery, and what not!

On behalf of all the rishi, muni, gana, kinnara, kimpuruda, gandharva, deva, siddha, vidhyadhara, life of Kashi, and on behalf of the very Source itself, I welcome all of you to this sacred city.  And, you need to know, they are all very happy, celebrating your presence.  They are all really, really, really happy to have all of us here! 

This is the place where all the spiritual freaks gathered from time immemorial.  The word “Paramahamsa”, I am translating as “spiritual freaks”.  You may think the word looks too low; but, I tried, I could not find any other word in English.  So, I am okay with that word.  From time immemorial, sadhus, nagas, siddhas, Paramahamsas, gathered to celebrate life and celebrate death!  Here life is liberation, death is celebration!  LIFE IS LIBERATION, DEATH IS CELEBRATION! 

This city is built out of our scared sentiments.  That is why, every king of Bharat, from Gandhara-Afghanistan, to Bali-Indonesia, every king as their palace here.  Whether Nepal king, or Bhutan, Burma – of course, Burma does not have a king now; when they had.  Nepal also does not have a king now; when they had – from Gandhara to Bali, all the kings have their palace here.  All the great Jagatgurus, Peethadeeshwars, Masters, have their ashram or monastery here.  This whole city is built not just with mud, stone, wood, mortar; it is built with our sacred sentiments!  That is why, Ramakrishna says, this city is a Golden City; because all our sacred sentiments are filled and this city is built. 

If I have to introduce this place, I have to introduce the whole Hinduism, Sanatana Hindu Dharma!  I have to introduce the whole Science of Enlightenment which I will be doing for the next twenty-one days.

Today we have some more auspicious things:

First, we are inaugurating the twenty-sixth Inner Awakening, the twenty-third eN-Genius, and the Nirahara Samyama, The Samyama batch.

And today is also Ashramites Day.  The first ashramites, Ma Sadananda, and Shri Nithya Sadananda, came to stay with me in the ashram in Erode.  The way the Sangha was formed from Adi Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam, Avathipalayam!  So, we celebrate today as the Ashramites Day.  Honouring all beings who dedicated their life to be part of the Sangha as Sannyasi, Shrimahant, Mahant, Kothari, Thanedar, Rishi, Bala Sants, Krama Brahmachari, Brahmacharinis, Ma Swamis, Goswamis, and Shri Swamis, in every form, or as ashramite or volunteer, whatever way, whatever name, whatever title, all the beings who have dedicated, become ashramites, part of the Sangha, today is dedicated to them.  With my being, I bless all of you!  It is because of you I am here, and I know you are all here for me. 

I congratulate and thank all the ashramites, whether you are a Bala Sant, or full-time volunteer, or ashramite, staying in our campuses, whatever way you are part, be very clear, you ARE a part, and I thank, congratulate, accept, respect, honour you being part of my Sangha, you being part of our Sangha.  I know you are here for me.  I want you to know, I am here for you!  It is ashramites who kept the Sangha alive when these demons tried to attack.  It is for the sake of ashramites I have also kept the Sangha.  Understand, I was offered a bargain: If I give up the organization, I will be let go!  I said, ‘No!  I need this Sangha for my people.  I will go through anything!’  And I challenged them, ‘If I am an incarnation, I will destroy all these problems, come out, and show, prove I am an incarnation!’  I think I did it!

I sincerely honour the commitment of my ashramites, and I know you are all here for me.  I take this moment....  Green chilly may be a little spicy, but very good for digestion.  Chilly may be a little spicy, but very good for digestion.  Sometimes the words from my tongue will be a bit spicy, but very good for digestion!  Now I take this moment to tell you guys, I am here for all of you, and you are all part of me!  You are all my being!  I am part of you.  You-Me, Me-You is the only way we can define who we are for each other.  If I have to define who you are for me, or if I have to define who I am for you, the only way I can describe this relationship is: You-Me, Me-You!

And second, I also inaugurate today the new Singapore Centre and Temple.

Ma Jnanatma announces: ‘The devotees of Singapore are now coming on the stage to offer the garland to Swamiji on the auspicious day of the inauguration of the new Singapore Centre.’

Swamiji: Blessings!  Singapore is always one beautiful feather in my cap!  HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  My blessings to the Singapore Centre!  I accept the arathi and puja.  So, through this, formally I inaugurate the Singapore new ashram and temple and centre. 

I also bless the nominated Member of Parliament, Shri Srinivas Rai gracing the occasion.  Thank you for being here!  I am happy to have you here in our Centre. 

And my blessings to all of you!  It is so nice to have all of you!  And, by this formal inauguration, I am throwing open the Singapore-Singapuram Nithyananda Vedic Temple, Ashram, Centre, to the people of Singapore.  My blessings!  As my gift to Singapore, I will be sending all the deities – Nithyanandeshwara, Nithyanandeshwari, and Nithyananda – and this turban which I am wearing today, as a gift to the Singapore ashram!  Blessings!  I also accept what you gave.

And I also want to take this moment to thank our Mahants, Shrimahants, Thanedars, Kotharis, devotees, disciples, everyone for holding the Singapore Sangha together and making this new temple happen.  Thank you!  Thank you Singapore devotees!  Thank you Singapore Sangha!  I know the terrorist attack Singapore Sangha suffered.  The traitors are the worst terrorists!  I call them “Trust Terrorists”!  So, I know the Trust Terrorists attack, the traitors attack Singapore Sangha suffered.  But the Singapore Sangha was courageous; they stood, and literally they revived themselves....just like Nithyananda!  Stood true to the Nithyananda Sampradaya and Nithyananda Sangha, Nithyananda tradition.  Thank you guys for this beautiful ashram-cum-temple-cum-centre and everything!  Thank you!  Blessings!

And the deities are ready.  You can ship it any moment you want.  Any moment you want, you can take it.  And the turban you can take it today after the Satsangh!  HAHAHAHAHA!

And, as part of the Ashramites Day, a few of our ashramites are offering....some of the ashramites in Singapore are offering a garland.  I accept the garland and puja.  Blessings!  Blessings!  Prema Tirtha, Ananda Sharva, and everyone!  I know I can literally tell everyone’s name, and please think as if I have uttered everyone’s name.  Especially women!  If I forget women’s name, that is all!  I sincerely thank all of you, especially Kim for your scholarships for so many lives, for making Inner Awakening possible for them.  Now I commit with you, all the merit they earn goes to you for making Inner Awakening possible for so many of them!  My blessings!

And, last but not the least, very, very, very, very important!  Today, the Meenakshi Brahmotsavam starts!  So, now, by offering arathi to Meenakshi and Sundareshwara, Nithyanandeshwara and Nithyanandeshwari and Nithyananda deities.....  Today, 10:30 to 11 am, in our Bidadi Ashram, formal Dwajaarohanam in Bidadi Ashram and San Jose-Madurai, formal Dwarjaarohanam and Brahmotsavam will start.  Now by formally offering this arathi, officially I inaugurate Meenakshi’s Chittirai Brahmotsavam! 

We will be celebrating Brahmotsavam here also formally.

Through this arathi, formally I inaugurate Meenakshi’s Chittirai Brahmotsavam celebrations all over the world in all our ashrams, centres, and temples!

Now the traditional rituals can start in Bidadi, San Jose, in all our Devi temples. 

So, we will be celebrating the Meenakshi Brahmotsavam here also in Varanasi.  That is why the deties here. 

We will have the celebrations continuously for the next fifteen days.  It is a fifteen-day Brahmotsavam!  So, we will be celebrating from today.  Just like Madurai!  Twelve days for Mahadeva, three days for Vishnu.  It is a fifteen-day Brahmotsavam. 

I also would like to inaugurate and release the book, this is the offering from Publications Department as a mark of Ashramites Day.  The “Essence of Living Enlightenment” in Spanish.  Thank you Publications Department!  Thank you for this offering to the world, the flip book on “Essence of Living Enlightenment” in Spanish.  Thank you!  My blessings!  Whoever reads this, let them experience living enlightenment!  My blessings!

So, thank you all for being here!

The essence of today’s satsangh: Thank you all for being here!  Thank you all ashramites on this auspicious Ashramites Day! 

Understand, the best revenge is: Rebuild!  I don’t have the time to hate the people who hate me, because I am too busy in loving the people who love me!  I don’t have time to hate the people who hate me, because I am too busy in loving the people who love me!  The best revenge is: Rebuild!  We did it!  O, my dear ashramites, we did it! 

And, thank you Singapore Sangha!  Sentimentally inaugurating your new ashram, new campus today.  My blessings!

Get ready for a spiritual blast!  I know, the spiritual blast has started yesterday itself with the formal Kashi Yatra.  Yesterday itself we had a formal Kashi Yatra!  Of course.....

(Break in connectivity......)

In Tiruvannamalai, the Arunachala, the hill itself is worshipped as Mahadeva.  In Kailash, the Manasarovar itself is worshipped as Devi.  Here, in Kashi, the city itself is worshipped as a goddess – Kashiya Devi.  So, first you are supposed to have the darshan of Kashiya Devi.  Means, from Varuna to Assi you have to go by boat by bowing down to Kashiya Devi as per the tradition.  Only then you can enter Kashi.  So, yesterday we followed the tradition.  Even if you are too big an Advaithi, please bear with me.  I will be following a lot of this tradition. 

Sometimes, in the Internet I get a lot of messages.  ‘When I see your discourses, I think you are a great enlightened being!  But, when I see here, every time you are bowing down to stones, you are bowing down to trees, you worship the street-side temples, I feel you may be still stuck somewhere!’  I don’t know what you want to think or decide, but I am very clear, I am going to worship every tree, every stone, again and again and again!  And I am going to create more and more stones and trees for worship purpose!  I will revive the Sanatana Hindu Dharma in all its juicy, colourful ways! 

So, the whole programme, not only it will be transmitting Advaithic experience to you, it will be transmitting and giving you the experience of the great culture of Sanatana Dharma through various traditional activities.  Like yesterday I said, yesterday we did the Kashi Yatra, darshan of Kashiya Devi, and we may also do a lot of temple visits, at least major temple visits, pujas, homas, everything, everything, everything.

In Devi Mahatmya, Devi says – it is a quotation from our Vyaakarana Shiromani Shri Ambananda Swami: ‘Who else is existing other than me?’  Devi herself is the embodiment of Advaitha.  So, bowing down to gods is bowing down to Advaitha!  We will be having a lot of temples, rituals, pujas, kirtans, without missing the intensity of the Inner Awakening.  You will have both in the right combination like Varanasi Bhang!  Don’t mistake....bhang, it is not intoxicant.  Actually, the original bhang is not intoxicant.  Later on, they started diluting it or adding many things.  The original bhang is Ayurvedic liver cleanser.  It does not intoxicate you; but it just gives you the joy, excitement.  It never does the damage alcohol does to the system.  So, bhang is the traditional Ayurvedic drink.  It gives the excitement, but not intoxication.  That is the big difference.  It does not damage your liver or body; it only cleanses your body of all toxins.  From Kashi bhang to Kashi paan!  Kashi paan is also unique!  From Kashi bhang to Kashi paan, pujas, rituals, get ready to have a spiritual blast! 

And I sincerely request and recommend to all of you, if you drop your resistance for deities and the culture of Sanatana Hindu Dharma.....  Please understand, it is like New York represents a way of life.  No, I am not here to judge whether it is right or wrong.  New York represents a way of life.  Same way, this city represents our way of life.  This represents Sanatana Hindu Dharma.  So, it will be nice, the earlier you drop the resistance, the earlier you will start enjoying!  This city will become fascinating for you!  Whether you are from western countries, or you are an NRI, or RNI – RNI means “Residential Non-Indian”; NRI is “Non-Residential Indian”, RNI is “Residential Non-Indian” – whether you are from other countries, or an NRI, or RNI, if you drop resistance for Sanatana Hindu Dharma way of live, you will really, really enjoy!  Because, whether you want it or not, you are in a programme, locked with a man for the next twenty-one days, whose passion is this Sanatana Hindu Dharma!  HAHAHAHAHA!  The quicker you drop your resistance, the more you will enjoy....the more you will enjoy!  I welcome all of you to enjoy, celebrate! 

I am not saying you accept whatever Kashi represents, Varanasi represents.  I am only saying: Don’t resist, don’t accept!  Just see what it can do to you, that’s all!  I am not saying you accept; I am not saying resist.  If you have already accepted and are waiting to enjoy....great!  Come on, join the club!  Otherwise, don’t resist, don’t accept.  Just see what it can do to you.  I tell you, it will do to you what it did to me!  Bhang may not be intoxicating, Paan may not be intoxicating, but Banaras itself is intoxicating!  Understand, the Banarasi bhang may not be intoxicating, the Banarasi paan may not be intoxicating, but Banaras is intoxicating!  I can tell you that much!  It is such a fascinating city!  That is the right word I will use: Such a fascinating city! 

I lived and slept, died in this city!  Understand, I lived in this city, ate, slept, died in this city!  Everything in this city, including death, was fascinating!  I can go through anything in this city!  It is worth going through!  I tell you, I can go through anything in this city, including death!  It is worth going through!

Thank you guys for being here to share this joy with me.  It is because of all of you I am here.  So, thank you, thank you, thank you for being here to share, celebrate Varanasi!  You may be here for whatever reason, whether for your physical healing, mental healing, or to have enlightenment, or to learn the science of accumulating more wealth, or to complete with your relationships, heal your relationship, revive your life energy, awaken your Kundalini, whatever may be the purpose you are here, said, unsaid, with my Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility, and Enriching, I give you the word, please listen, I give you the word, my commitment, keeping Kaalabhairava as witness, I will be your Co-creator and cause the reality you wanted to create, cause the reality you wanted to create!  I commit with you, I will do everything, everything needed!  It is my commitment!  I know I will fulfil it!

In a few minutes I will lead you all into the Kalpataru process.  All the non-Inner Awakening participants can have Kalpataru Darshan.  Because, all the Inner Awakening participants, all of you are going to have Energy Darshan, so these few minutes in the morning we will give it to Kashi vaasis who have come here for Kalpataru Darshan, to devotees from Varanasi who have come for Kalpataru Darshan. 

So, all the participants who are here for Kalpataru and Inner Awakening, let us enter into the Kalpataru process.  People who are sitting all over the world, let us start the Kalpataru process.

Listen!  Pick up a paper and pen.  Write two things: 

One: One thought you want to cause as reality.

Second: All the doubts, incompletions you have around that thought.  Fears, doubts, incompletions you have around that thought. 

Please pen down both for a few minutes.

(After a few minutes.....................)

We will start the Kalpataru process.  Please listen!  All the doubts, fears, incompletions you wrote, complete them and drop them.  And hold the visualization of what you want to create.  I will give you an example.  For example, you want to create wealth in life.  You will have so many fears, doubts, impossibilities about wealth.  Now, for the next few minutes, decide, ‘I am not going to allow those incompletions.’  Complete and drop them.  Hold on to the space that you are already wealthy.  Whatever wealth you want is there now with you, present!  Same way, if you want health, you will have so many doubts, fears, impossibilities, insecurities about your health.  Complete and drop them.  Hold the space for health now.  Health is there already.  You create the space, I will make it into reality. 

So, please sit straight.  Divert your visualization ability.  Hold on to the space you want to create.  Namah Shivaya!  Namah Shivaya!  Namah Shivaya!  Let the Kundalini Shakthi be awakened and make your space into reality!  Namah Shivaya!

KALPATARU MEDITATION IN PROGRESS.....................

Thathaasthu!  I bless you all!  The space you created, let it become reality!  The visualization you held on, let it become reality!

All the devotees, Kalpataru participants all over the world, understand, today the blessings are coming from Ananda Vana, from Ananda Gandha, from Mahadeva himself!  I bless you all!  The space you created, let it become reality!

And in all the Padukas today, let the sandal of Mahadeva and Kumkum of Meenakshi materialize!  All over the world, let the presence of Mahadeva and Meenakshi be felt and experienced!

Lot of Facebook messages I was going through.  There are some questions people are asking me: ‘If we are Thanedars, Kotharis, Mahants, are we also ashramites?’  I say a big YES!  Understand, I only request you to have a little more listening; because, when I blessed, in a detailed way I uttered; I have not missed a single name!  Whether you are a Thanedar, Ananda Samaji, or Satsanghi, Kothari, Mahant, Shrimahant, you mean so much to the Sangha, Sangha means so much to you!  You mean so much to me, when I mean so much to you!  Understand?  So, including Bala Sants!  And I also told yesterday itself, just like the Kothari, Mahants, Thanedars, their spouses and their kids are given the same place in our teamily dinner, for Bala Sants we will give their parents the same place.  If you are an adult, Kothari, Thanedar, Mahant, Shrimahant, your kids and spouse are given a place.  If you are a minor, Bala Sant, your father and mother are given that place in teamily dinner.  And wherever we go, and even in the ashrams, cities, the programmes and pujas and rituals and everywhere!  

So, I wanted to tell you guys a big YES!  Whether you are residing inside the campus, or not residing, if you are a Thanedar, Kothari, Mahant, Shrimahant – of course, we don’t have any Bala Sants who are not residing in Bidadi Campus; all Bala Sants reside in Bidadi Campus – so even if you are a Thanedar, Kothari, Mahant, Shrimahant, you ARE part of the Sangha!  I bless you all!  And when I say “ashramites”, I mean all of you!

It is time we start the spiritual blast!

So, all the Inner Awakening participants, please have your breakfast and get ready.  Jnanatma will give you the announcement for getting ready.  

All the Kalpataru participants who are here for Kalpataru Darshan can come and have Kalpataru Darshan.  

And Gurukul kid, Hemalatha, blessings for you!

So, let us start celebrating!  This Inner Awakening starts with celebrating because we are in Ananda Vana!  So, let us start Inner Awakening with the great celebration!  HARA HARA MAHADEV!

(Audience in the hall): HARA HARA MAHADEV!

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

Nithyanandeshwara Samaarambhaam

Nithyanandeshwari Madhyamaam |

Asmath Aachaarya Paryanthaam

Vandhey Guru Paramparaam ||

I welcome all the devotees, disciples, samajis, satsanghis, Shrimahants, Mahants, Thanedars, Kotharis, sitting with us through Nithyananda TV, Lotus TV, Janashree TV, and two-way video-conferencing.

Cities sitting with us in two-way video-conferencing: Los Angeles, Nithyananda University-Los Angeles, Nithyananda Nagaramu-Hyderabad, Nithyananda Nagar-Tiruvannamalai, Nithyananda Nagara-Bidadi, Simi Valley-California, Tiruvanmiyur-Chennai, San Jose-Madurai, Oklahoma-Somanatham, Singapore-Singapuram, Seattle-Chidambaram, Jorpati-Nepal, Houston-Kalahasti, Guadeloupe-Rameshwaram, Dakota Dunes, Hong Kong-Sirkazhi, Hyderabad-Gupta Kashi, Ohio-Ma Shivananda, London-Kashi, Tallahassee-Florida, Port Washington-New York, Toon Moon-Hong Kong, China, and.....Ananda Vana!

I welcome all of you who are here, visible to each other, and invisible to each other!

This place is Ananda Vana.  Varanasi is called as Ananda Vana, because it is Mahadeva’s quarters.  This is where he lives.  The first quarters he built for himself.  The first city he developed for himself!  Ananda Vana! 

All of you may be aware that the 26^th Inner Awakening is starting tomorrow in Ananda Vana, Varanasi.  And 23^rd eN-Genius.

Let me be very honest: Whenever I come to Varanasi, I feel like the owner!  That is the exact feeling!  Like a king, owner! 

This the place of Vishwanatha, Kaalabhairava. 

॥ नित्यमद्वितीयमिष्टदैवतंनिरंजनम् ॥

॥ Nithyam Adhwitheeyam Ishta Daivatham Niranjanam॥

Kaalabhairava, the space of eternal Advaitha. 

॥ नित्यमद्वितीयमिष्टदैवतंनिरंजनम् ॥

॥ Nithyam Adhwitheeyam Ishta Daivatham Niranjanam॥

Just when I was coming to the satsangh, I saw one of our devotees.  She was so excited!  Literally there itself she wanted to do Namaskar!  I said, ‘No, no, no!  It is a public place.  Let us go to the hall and do Namaskar!’  Then when we came to the hall, she did Namaskar.  I said, ‘Wait, wait, wait....hold on your excitement!’

When I enter into Kashi, I myself feel the same excitement.  I wanted to touch every stone, every tree, and do Namaskar to everything!  Kashi is Ananda Vana!

Swamiji to the devotee: Don’t worry, you have not done any mistake! 

She is not understanding what I am saying.  She was about to touch my feet.  All the Swamis who were there stopped her.  I also said, ‘Stop...don’t do!’  Because there were so many people there.  Then as I walked into the hall I said, ‘Now you can do Namaskar.’  Because I didn’t want people to say, ‘Oh, people fall at his feet on the road itself!’

This is Ananda Vana, this place!  Whenever I land in this place, this Kundalini goes crazy!  MY Kundalini itself!  And where it is I don’t know!  And the energy the body radiates!  So healthy it feels!  The whole inner-space, and the.....!  So, literally, the word “Ananda Vana” is true!  That is why this place melts away all the karmas!

Please understand, yesterday, yesterday evening, I can say, late evening, we were all having night out on the Ganga in a boat.  We all went to be with Ganga.  It was so nice!  And we did the formal Kashi Yaathra, which you are supposed to do from Assi to Varuna; that is called Kashi Pradakshina; means, going around.  All the Inner Awakening participants, don’t worry, you will also be doing that in the next few days.  And we were doing Rudrabhishekam.  After the Rudrabhishekam – I myself performed Rudrabhishekam for the Shivalinga which is supposed to go to Seattle; that deity I energized and did Rudrabbhishekam – after the Rudrabhishekam, I told our Swami to put the flowers and milk into the Ganga.  I saw, the moment he poured the flowers and milk into the Ganga, some thirty-forty bhootaas holding that!  Only very little fell on Ganga!  These fellows were holding and running, spilling here, there, here, there, that milk and flowers!  I was wondering what these fellows were doing. They are all Ganga cleaners.  They were all the conscious cleaners of Ganga.  They serve Mahadeva, means Kaalabhairava.  They serve Kaalabhairava, helping Kaalabhairava to keep the Ganga spiritually clean.  There are a few places where some of the worst sinners have taken bath.  These fellows are taking the milk and sprinkling it in all those places, those areas! 

Only in Varanasi the bhootas and prethas have the right to enter an enlightened Master’s energy field.  Otherwise, they cannot enter my energy field.  The moment they enter my energy field, they will be liberated!  So, they are all like Ishvara Kotis.  Kaalabhairava allows them to be in that shareera.  So, they never harm anybody.  They only serve.  Bhootas and prethas means the people who leave the body before the time they were supposed to leave the body.  And in Kashi these fellows get a special opportunity to serve Mahadeva, serve Kaalabhairava, like keeping the place clean, like scavengers, and keeping the unwanted fellows out of Varanasi.  The fellows who are not qualified to be in Varanasi, they keep them out.  And the people who are supposed to be in Varanasi, they send them here.  It is like cleaning and security job the bhootas and prethas do in Varanasi!

The whole Kashi is celebrating, understand that!  The whole Varanasi is celebrating!  All the gods, goddesses, Shiva Ganas, Shiva Bhootas, Shiva Bhaktas, all of them are celebrating!  I can only say, get ready to have the best spiritual blast!  And, anything else I say, you may think it is marketing.  And I don’t want you to have that cheap word “marketing” for Varanasi. 

I tell you, this is the most fascinating city in the world!  Here cows, bulls, dogs, beggars, dead bodies, snakes, all of us have to literally scratch each other while we walk, and that is the way we can survive!  That is the only way we can survive!  You will see the dead body’s cloth will be touching your body while you are walking!  Bulls and cows literally scratch you!  And dogs!  But, you know, none of them hurt each other!  It is like literally a miniature Cosmos!  Miniature Cosmos!  None of them hurt each other!  They all live together in such a small place....that main Varanasi.  The main Varanasi is the place they all live together.  It is a tradition that bulls don’t hurt anybody here.  And lizard will not make a sound!  And eagle will not fly in Varanasi!  Any flower you bring here in Varanasi will not have smell!  Because, all smell belongs to Kaalabhairava!  That is the tradition!

Sometimes people think....these stupid fellows they, seeing my devotion to Kashi, all this, they think, ‘He speaks so logically all the great principles like Advaitha and all that.  Why he is so irrational and superstitious about this Kashi?’  I want to tell those stupid fellows: ‘The real me, my love and devotion and belief and faith in all this, what you call as simple things, touching every stone in every street corner, in Vishwanatha Temple in Kashi, and every day sprinkling Ganga, sitting with Ganga, I will be most happy to do all this than anything else!’  I tell you, this is the real Nithyananda!  Even some of our devotees were not able to digest!  In Kashi, when any pillar, any stone I see, I do Namaskar!  ‘O Vishwanatha, Namaskar’!  HAHAHAHAHAHA!  Because, this city is not built out of stone or pillar or pole or any construction material.  This whole city is built out of all our intense, sincere, sacred sentiments!  Intense, sincere, sacred sentiments!  This whole Varanasi is built on sacred sentiments!  That is why Ramakrishna says it is a Golden City. 

We were publishing a special issue on Inner Awakening in sacred places – Varanasi, Haridwar.  In that, my editor, she has written about Manikarnika Ghat, saying, ‘This is the largest crematorium ground.  People burn their near and dear ones’ dead bodies here believing they will directly go to heaven or liberation.’  I immediately called her and said, ‘What do you mean?  You are a Communist organization or a Christian organization?  What do you mean by saying, “believing people will reach heaven or liberation”?  I told her, ‘Put it in affirmative and put my name as authority!’  Anybody burnt here is liberated immediately!  Mahadeva appears and initiates them, liberates them!  This is Avimuktha Kshetra – never forsaken, never given up!  Avimuktha Kshetra! 

This city is, Varanasi is literally like a Cosmos!  If you understand it, it is most fascinating.  You will see such a beautiful order in the chaos.  If you don’t, you will see so much of chaos even in the order!  If you don’t understand, it will be frustrating.  If you understand, this will be the most fascinating city! 

I think, the next twenty-one days, I am not going to speak about anything else other than the glory of Varanasi.  I don’t think anything will even come up in my mind or inner-space.  I can’t say “mind”, because I don’t have mind!  At least in my inner-space, I am going to be speaking only about Varanasi, Varanasi, Varanasi, Vishwanatha, Vishwanatha, Vishwanatha!

This city is older than history itself!  And far older than legends itself!  And still most fascinating!  If you are watching me, I tell you, just come!  I know, even now it is not too late!  Get up and be here!  I know, you may be thinking, ‘Every time Swamiji tells the same thing!  He goes to Kailash and says, “Get up and come!”  And he goes to Varanasi and says, ‘Oh, it is so nice here!  Please come!’  Anyhow...!  Inner Awakening in Varanasi is too much!  Varanasi itself is too much!  Inner Awakening is too, too much!  And Inner Awakening in Varanasi is too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too much! 

After the marriage of Parvathi, Mahadeva wants to stay with all the Ganas and Ganapathi, Subramanya, and everyone, the large beautiful community.  So, they all decided and chose this place, Varanasi, and settled down here.  Then after that only Ganga came and had darshan of Mahadeva.  Varanasi was older than Ganga.  At that time, this place was called Ananda Gandha, Ananda Vana.  And the word “Ananda Gandha” is used in our whole spiritual literature only once – by Adi Shankara, when he sings about Vishwanatha in Vishwanathashtakam.  He sings.  That time he uses the word “Ananda Gandha”.  And those days it was called Ananda Vana.  Then after Ganga came and had darshan of Mahadeva, Varuna and Assi joined, and it became Varanasi. 

I think, may be, one of my longest stays in this body in Varanasi is these next twenty-five days.  I am here in Varanasi twenty-five days!  Nothing much to tell than HARA HARA MAHADEVA!  It is a place to freak out!  No...really!  It is a place for spiritual freaks!  Actually, I can only define me as a spiritual freak!  That is the tradition of Paramahamsa.  Paramahamsa means “spiritual freak”!  That is the right translation of the word “Paramahamsa”.  So, this is the place to freak out!  All the spiritual freaks gather here.  The meaning of the word Shiva Gana is nothing but “spiritual freaks”.  This is the place where spiritual freaks gather.  It is not Vaikunta; it is Kailasha!  Mahadeva’s place Varanasi!  Of course, Vishnu is also here, but he also becomes one of the Shiva Ganas and spiritual freaks!  And even Vishnu applies Vibhooti and becomes spiritual freak here!  Here even Devi worships Mahadeva!

Ananda Vana!  Here even death is a liberation and celebration!  Even death is a liberation and celebration!  Among the seven Jeevan Mukthi Kshetras, this is the foremost!  Kashi is the foremost Jeevan Mukthi Kshetra!

Ananda Vana!  So, even now, Mahadeva relaxes and enjoys his own inner-space and glory, that Ananda Thaandava!  Celebrates his own existence!  How when you are in a high mood you take a selfie and put it in Facebook, same way, Vishwanatha is selfie of Mahadeva!  Vishwanatha and Kaalabhairava are selfie of Mahadeva!  Because he is in such an ecstasy, he took a selfie and posted it to all of us! That is Vishwanatha and Kaalabhairava!

And for all the Inner Awakening participants who have arrived here one day early, I have a special surprise for you guys.  Today I am going to take you guys to Ganga!  The programme starts tomorrow only.  But, today a personal, intimate time with Ganga!  Be ready to be here outside.  The organizers will announce the time.  Please all of you gather.  We will have a beautiful time with Ganga, and Ganga Arathi!  I was having some other plan, but I decided to accommodate and spend time with you guys.  This is a special gift from Ganga Ma to all of you for coming one day early.  I know the organizers will not be happy.  They have to prepare for tomorrow.  I know they already will be crying, ‘Oh God! Tomorrow.....’. But you guys have to co-operate and finish everything, the formal registration and everything.  You all finish and be ready to have time with Ganga and with the Master.

The first, the first human-being who started thinking is Kapila.  And he lived in Varanasi.  His Samadhi is in Varanasi.  He had his enlightenment, education, everything here.  His Samadhi is in Varanasi.  He is the founder of our Akhada, Mahanirvani Akhada.  And from Kapila the unbroken thought-current chain of eternal spiritual flow is available.  Still he himself is alive here.  Vishwanatha is alive here.  You will be surprised and shocked to know the devotion of Varanasi vaasis, Kashi vaasis, towards Vishwanatha!  Usually the local people will always take the deity and temple for granted.  But only here you will see, you will be shocked to see the devotion the Kashi vaasis, the locals carry, Kashiites carry for Vishwanatha!  He is the lifeline for them!  He is the lifeline for them!

The essence of today’s satsangh is:

Varanasi!  Varanasi, the place of Ananda Vana – blissful forest!  And place of spiritual freaks!  That’s all!

Today, I will directly give you the Kalpataru Darshan.  Whatever space you create, it will become reality!  Thathaasthu!  Thathaasthu!  Thathaasthu!

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

I welcome all the devotees, disciples, samaajis, satsanghis, Shrimahants, Mahants, Thanedars, Kotharis, sitting with us all over the world through Nithyananda TV, Sadhna TV, and two-way video-conferencing having Nayana Deeksha.

I welcome all of you with my love and blessings.

Today I have a very important subject to expand. 

Please listen!  Come to the space of listening!

I am going to create a series of important discourse videos to help all of you understand the common questions like: ‘How can I expand my wealth creation ability?’, ‘I feel I am stuck.’, ‘I am not sure about my boyfriend or girlfriend or spouse.  I don’t know whether I want to continue this relationship?’, all these kind of common problems and questions.  So, yesterday, we were having some kind of a discussion with some of my Shrimahants and Mahants....and “would-be” Mahants. 

One disciple, a very sincere disciple, but he has not yet committed himself to be a Kothari or Thanedar or Mahant, suddenly, casually I mentioned that, ‘You should commit to become a Mahant.’  I did not even use the word, ‘You should commit....’; I said, ‘You should become a Mahant’.  He immediately got up and said, ‘Swamiji, swamiji, Swamiji, I am afraid of commitment.  I want you to solve this conflict.  I don’t know what to do with responsibility, commitment...all these  I am very afraid.’  So, I had a few minutes of clarification showering, concentrated chemotherapy on him.  Listen! “Clarification Showering”, “Concentrated Chemotherapy”!

Listen!  I am defining these two words.  Responsibility is not Commitment.  Commitment is not Responsibility.  You can be responsible, but totally non-committed!  You can be committed, but never be responsible!

I will differentiate, I will explain.

If you are constantly thinking about your future from powerlessness and go on thinking what all can go wrong, your involvement is called “commitment”.  If you are constantly looking at your future from the space of Completion and go on looking at what all can go right, your involvement is called “responsibility”.

Listen!  I am the symbol of Total Responsibility and Complete Non-Commitment!  I am totally responsible, but completely non-committal.  If just a devotee who has attended some free program, sometimes if he is bitten by a snake or he has got into some accident, or it is some emergency, one phone call, I will personally attend, and talk to my secretaries or whoever, and see to it that constantly he is attended, and I get the response back whether healing or whatever I can help.  You will see that responsibilism.  Same way, if you live around me, you can very clearly smell I am completely non-committal to the whole thing.

Listen!  Any future plan which erupts out of the pattern “what all can go wrong” is Commitment.  Any future plan which comes out of the Completion “what all can go right” is Responsibilism.  Responsibility!

He (this sincere disciple) asked me again, ‘Then what is “accountability” Swami?’  I said, ‘If you are constantly thinking from “what all can go wrong”, even if you are committed, you may be accountable, but you will not be accountable!  You may be accountable, but you will not be accountable!  You will just stand and say, ‘Yes, this is what I am!  What can I do?  This is the way I am!’

Understand, this subject is very, very, very confusing, and people say, ‘No, no, no, no, no’.  At least in responsibilism I don’t want these people separated, because, in the name of responsibility you get a little consolation to worry, space to worry.  You are so dedicated to worrying!  I took away all your possibility for worrying.  If you are integrated, no worry.  If you are authentic, no worry.  But, if you are responsible, you can continue to worry in the name of responsibility.  Now I am purifying the concept of Responsibility.  Listen!

If you can move based on what all can go right – I am not saying don’t look at what all can go wrong; you may not need to look at what all can go wrong if you look at what all can go right intensely – looking at what all can go right, I tell you, looking at what all can go right gives you the ability to start two-thousand projects.  Even if you win twenty, you may be in the space of unimaginable expansion.  The mind which looks at what all can go wrong will not even move to the second project. 

People constantly say, ‘From morning I was making these calls, this, this, this, this, this....’  Understand, even when you are doing some action, is your worrying pattern keeping quiet?  Is your lust pattern keeping quiet?  Is your fear pattern keeping quiet?  Even when you are doing your work, all the three are functioning.  Same way, instead of Lust, Fear, Worry, why can’t your Planning Gratitude, Celebration function?  It is just simple training.  Whether you function from Fear, Lust, Worry, or function from Planning, Celebration, Gratitude, Planning, Completion, Gratitude..... 

Listen!  Listen!  I am giving you a very important sacred secret as per the Yogic tradition.  The moment you are born, you reside only in Ananda Gandha.  Ananda Gandha is the space from which your soul or consciousness operates in your body.  While you are doing all your regular lifestyle routine, either you choose to allow your Lust, Fear, Worry, as an involuntary habitual function, or you can voluntarily build Planning, Completion, Gratitude.  Either you can allow involuntarily Lust, Fear, Worry, or Planning, Completion, Gratitude.  It is just consciously building.  But don’t tell me the worst lie – ‘I was busy in this, so I could not do that.’  You have multiple possibilities and multiple dimensions.  You are multi-dimensional by nature.  While you are working, if you are not planning in a multi-dimensional way, you are worrying or caught in the lust and fear; be guaranteed about it!  This truth needs to really, really get into your system.  This truth needs to really, really get into your system.  Listen!  Only then you will understand the difference between Commitment and Responsibility.  If you don’t take Responsibility, you are beaten black and blue by commitment in life.  When you take responsibility, you are given the reward of freedom from all commitment. 

A responsible person has no commitment.  This is exactly the principle on which I wanted the new generation to evolve.  Please listen!  Very soon, this going to office is going to completely disappear all over the world.  Only for surgery, people may gather in a common place.  For surgeries, not even for out-patient treatment!  That will all become telemedicine.  For surgery, only for surgery you may go to a common place where the doctor also comes.  Other than these few things, basic things, where an object needs to be handled – as far as surgery is concerned, for those few hours you are an “object” only!  A doctor has to look at you as an object and handle you – or an item needs to be produced, only those few rare exemptions people are going to gather together.  Otherwise this concept of going to office is going to die.  And in India, it is already very popular.  “Cloud Campus” they call it.  Students don’t go to school or educational institutions any more.  From the house, through the laptop, they get the best teachers, best teachers and best educating method!  Cloud Campuses!  I am picking up that system and working; that is why I know that name.  I was planning to name it as “Cloud Nine Campus”.  I am already working on it.  Soon you guys will have, all our major ashrams will have Cloud Nine Campus.

Listen!  With responsibility, the commitments are going to be dropped.  More and more, Responsibility is going to rule Planet Earth, not Commitment.  Commitment may be in the initial level a nice way to teach Responsibility; but Commitment should never be a lifestyle.  It is like, to make a reinforced concrete pillar, RCC pillar, you make a wooden box and pour the concrete into it.  Once the concrete has set, and it becomes a pillar, naturally the wooden box has to be removed.  You don’t need the wooden box anymore.  The wooden box is like Commitment.  The RCC pillar is like Responsibility.  Commitment may be an initial help for you to become responsible; but once you become responsible, you will be free from Commitment. 

I want responsible Sannyasis, not committed Sannyasis!  No!  Responsible disciples, responsible human-beings, not committed human-beings.  I know, I know, there are some fools who are committed, literally living such an intense committed life.  They just die out of tiredness and boredom.  That’s all!  They do not know what is life!  And they all the time blame the people who are non-committal.  If you are committed, who asked you to be committed?  You are a fool!  You don’t know how to take responsibility, so you are living and dying as committed!  If you know to take responsibility, commitment is not required at all.  May be, commitment is just initial level wooden box for the RCC concrete to settle and become a pillar.  May be, at the level of Thanedar and Kothari, you need commitment.  If you are still committed at the level of Mahant and Shrimahant, we need to look into the whole system and you.  At the level of Mahant, you are expected to be responsible.  And, if you become neither responsible nor committed, then I will naturally opt for the better option – at least be committed.

I have seen recently a famous trend setting up:  Anybody who is not working under you properly, give him a promotion and send him out of your zone!  HAHAHAHAHA!  Giving “moksha” to others with a lot of “priya” is not the definition of the word “Mokshapriya”.  I have seen, if they are not working properly under you, just promote them and move them out of your zone.  Then you are free!  It is called a “promotion punishment”.  See, when you are not responsible, if you are promoted, either you are punished, or the system is punished.  If you are not responsible, if you are promoted, either you are punished, or the system is punished.  Either you are punished, or the system is punished.  Listen!  Listen!  Listen!  Either you are punished, or the system is punished!

Commitment is not what I am teaching.  Commitment is an initial support for responsibility to grow.  When a small Banyan sapling is growing, you may need a fence around that tree.  That fence is like “Commitment”.  It is needed for responsibility to grow.  The tree is “Responsibility”.  Once Responsibility grows, the fence needs to be removed.  Otherwise, the fence itself becomes a bondage.  There are very rare beings – completely responsible, completely committed, but never feel they are committed.  Because their inner-space is so clean, they don’t feel they are committed at all.

So, listen!  Listen to the basic principles.  Then we will study the exemptions.  Because the moment I describe “exemptions”, everyone imagines they are the exemptions.  No!  Listen!

Commitment is not Responsibility.  You can be committed.  Exactly on time you can go and sit in the Enriching Temple, and come out only when everyone comes out, but not taking any responsibility!  I have seen, I have seen people abusing their own life.  They will show such high commitment, but never responsibility.  A person who is highly responsible may not even need to be committed.  Actually, I tried to build the whole Sangha on Responsibility without asking for commitment.  I was bitterly cheated and exploited by people.  That is why now I brought commitment as a system for the responsibility to grow.  When the responsibility has grown, then commitment protection is not required.  Till the responsibility grows, commitment is the protection for responsibility.  After responsibility grows, the same commitment is a bondage for responsibility.  But everyone thinks already their responsibility has grown. That is where the problem starts.  If your responsibility has grown, you will be delivering, not reasoning.

Please listen!  Valid reasons + work not done can never be equated with the work done.  A responsible person delivers.  That is why now I have evolved a new system: I give equal opportunity to all.  Have the opportunity, show the responsibility. 

A responsible person is such, everyone around you becomes responsible.  The power of responsibility is such, everyone around you becomes responsible!  Everyone, everyone around you becomes responsible! 

Responsibility is fire.  Everyone around you will just terribly be impressed, inspired, want to be part of you!  They will be awestruck by you. 

Commitment can be sometimes binding, boring.  Responsibility is liberating, rejoicing, liberating and celebrating.

Only in the level of Thanedar or Kothari, I expect commitment from you all.  But the moment you move to the next level, I only expect responsibility from all of you.  Means, delivering it!  Delivering it!  That’s all!

Till you become responsible, commitment is needed like an initial protection.  When there is no initial protection fence, a great Banyan Tree can be killed as a small sapling by an ordinary goat!  You need high protection.  High protection!  High protection!  Commitment can be initial level protection for responsibility to grow.  But commitment can never be a lifestyle.  It should never become a lifestyle.  Responsibility should become the lifestyle.  Commitment is like asking you to give your thumb impression when you come, when you go.  Responsibility is like you having the key of the whole thing.  But there are many people who have the key, but not responsibility.  They are the curse on the system.  They are the suffering on the system. 

In responsibility, there is no question of reason.  You just deliver, and you know how to deliver.  The moment you say, ‘I am depressed’, ‘I am tired’, ‘I am struggling’, then forget about it!  Then you need commitment, not responsibility now.  There is a big difference between these two.  Sometimes they are completely different.  Sometimes they can even be diametrically opposite, diametrically opposite. 

Our school, the whole Gurukul is built on responsibility.  I want all of you to know, our kids are two years ahead of their syllabus!  Two years ahead of their syllabus!  For their age, if the kid is supposed to be in tenth class in the outside school, the same kid in our school has completed twelfth class, twelfth grade!  I am giving an example.  If the kid is supposed to be in eighth grade in outside schools, here they finished tenth grade with distinction, flying colours!  

If you see, all my Guru Pujas are done only when people don’t become responsible.  I push commitment as a punishment for not taking responsibility.  If you take responsibility, I will be the first person to free you from all commitments.  When the responsibility does not grow, I ask you to be committed.  

I really want new human-beings to evolve, who are highly responsible, totally non-committed.  Highly responsible, totally non-committed!  I hope to see those new beings soon!

With this, I will move to the Kalpataru process.  

All the participants who came for Kalpataru, please sit straight.  Pen down one thought you want to cause as reality, and all the incompletions, doubts, impossibilities you have around that thought.  Please pen down both.

(After a few minutes.....................)

Now please sit straight.  Complete with all the incompletions you carry and drop them.  Create the space for what you want to cause.  If you want health, visualize already health is there.  If you want wealth, visualize already wealth is there.  So, experience Complete Completion.  Experience Complete Completion and the reality of what you want to cause.  Namah Shivaya!

KALPATARU MEDITATION IN PROGRESS.....................

I bless you all!  Whatever space you are holding, let it become reality!  Whatever space you are creating, let it become reality!  Thathaasthu!

Naomi, Singapore, birthday blessings!  With all the auspiciousness, you will be with me, I will be with you!  Blessings!

Port Washington-New York, Sarah Goldblatt, birthday blessings!  With all the auspiciousness, you will be with me, I will be with you!  Blessings!  Sarah, blessings!  Birthday Blessings!

We will have SMKT meeting now after the Kalpataru Darshan for the Bidadi participants.

So, I bless you all!  Let you all radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility, Enriching and Causing eternal bliss, NIthyananda!  Thank you!

Vandhey Guru Paramparaam ||

I welcome all the devotees, disciples, samajis, satsanghis, Shrimahants, Mahants, Kotharis, Thanedars, sitting with us through Nithyananda TV, Lotus TV, Sadhna TV, and two-way video-conferencing having Nayana Deeksha all over the world. 

Cities sitting with us through two-way video-conferencing having Nayana Deeksha all over the world: Washington DC-Sripuram, Vancouver-Bhubaneshwar, Singapore-Singapuram, Ohio-Prayag, Kuala Lumpur-Palani, Mattakalappu-Ilangai, Toronto-Kailasam, New York-Varanasi, San Jose-Madurai, Dhyanapeetam-Madurai, Klang-Malaysia, Varanasi, St. Louis-Tirumala, Porterville-California, Nithyananda Nagaramu-Hyderabad, Nithyananda Nagara-Bidadi, Nithyananda Nagar-Tiruvannamalai, Melbourne-Australia, Toon Moon-Hong Kong, Rajaji Nagar-Bangalore, Oman-Sivagangai, Guadeloupe-Rameshwaram, Hyderabad-Gupta Kashi, Mulund-Mumbai, High Point-North Carolina, Houston-Kalahasti, Tallahassee-Florida, Bangalore-North, Jorpati-Nepal, Abu Dhabi, Dubai-Vaidyanatham, Devon-UK, China, Selang-Malaysia, Delhi Bazaar-Nepal, Doncaster-UK, Colorado Springs-USA.....................

I welcome all of you with my love and blessings.

Yes!  Next few days, we will be concluding this Living Advaitha practice.  So, today, I wanted to give the gist of the whole process.  Sunday – listen – today, Sunday; for the international countries, international devotees, Saturday evening.  In India it is Sunday.

Even in St. Louis, volume is not audible.  Please give a few minutes till the........

We will start the session.  Please listen!  Today is Sunday; for devotees from US and Europe, Saturday evening.  Naturally, many devotees will be logging in.  May be, by May 1^st, I will be completing this process in which I am guiding you all in the last few satsanghs – Living Advaitha.

First – listen – to achieve the Advaithic experience, there are thousands of methods.  I can say, all methods reach you there only.  It can be as simple as pouring water on a stone, to as deep as finding your source of thoughts.  It can be as simple as this, and as difficult as that.  Sometimes, I can say, finding the source of thought is too simple than remembering the right context and pouring water on a stone.  HAHAHAHAHA!  Anyhow....!  Whether you start with this or with that, always you end up in Advaitha.  That is the goal!  That is the goal!  So, don’t worry what path you do.  Advaitha is the goal.  But I want to tell you one thing!  Please listen!

This practice which I am leading all of you, the Teamily practice for living Advaitha, it makes you experience Advaitha in all its dimensions.  Please understand, you get not just the oneness experience, the non-dual.....

Again I apologize.  “Non-dual” cannot be translated as “oneness”.  Because there is no other word, I am using the word “oneness”.

The non-dual experience, this process of Teamily, Living Advaitha, not only leads you to the non-dual experience, it also makes you experience the best things of life like health, wealth, beautiful relationships, Completion in your every moment, above all the extraordinary miracle powers!

Listen!  Please listen!  There are tons of methods to achieve Advaitha.  For example, Zen.  Zen also leads you to Advaitha, but in a very dry way.  You just sit and stare at a wall for ten years in Zen; you will achieve Advaitha.  True....but ten years! 

So, there are many paths which lead you to Advaitha.  There are many ideas which lead you to Advaitha.  Even Shaiva Siddhanta leads you to Advaitha.  I know, by making this statement, I will agitate many people who don’t know anything about Shaiva Siddhanta, and claim themselves as Shaiva Siddhantis!  Whether it is Kashmiri Shaivism, or Shaiva Siddhanta, or the Veera Shaivism, or Dwaitha, Visisthadvaitha, whatever may be the philosophy or the means, methodology, you may call it, finally, everything leads to Advaitha, everything leads to Advaithic experience.

So, please understand, but because of the time the process takes, during the process the different powers it awakens, based on that, the processes can be classified as 1^st level, 2^nd level, 3^rd level, 4^th level, like that.  I tell you, I have travelled almost all alive paths for enlightenment!  Please understand, not just through one or two, I have consciously scanned, went through, researched, almost all the paths still alive and available on the Planet Earth!  I am telling you, I have put the best of everything and created this Teamily process.  And my own experience, it is like I myself defeat my own achievements!  First what I contributed, the Science of Chakras; then the Science of Unclutching; then the Science of Completion.  I myself expand, or, I can say, lead you to the essence.  That is the reason I am telling you, the process of Teamily, this Teamily process, living Advaitha, Teamily Process, living Advaitha, not just it awakens the experience of non-duality in you in a very short time, it also awakens the extraordinary powers in you! 

I tell you, there is nothing wrong in living and having extraordinary powers.  These fools who cannot handle a little responsibility of money, a little responsibility of name and fame, recognition, because of their fear pattern, they hate powers also.  Listen!  Stopping with powers is something seriously wrong, but hating powers is also some deep incompletion.  You neither need to stop nor need to hate.  Hating, again, is incompletion.  I will demonstrate through my Gurukul kids how the power and non-dual experience so beautifully go hand in hand without any fear or incompletion.  I am so happy, in twenty-four hours my kids came back to Advaithic space and made the heavens shower! 

Yesterday I told them, ‘One day no school!’  See, in the regular schools and colleges, if there is some fight among the kids, if they beat each other in groups, or throw stones at each others in groups, they give one day holiday.  In our school, if our kids miss the Advaithic space, I stop school one day.  One day I told, ‘Shut down the classes. No class today.  All of you sit and work on Completion.  You have to come back to the space of Completion.  Anything can be lost, but not the Advaithic space.  Come back to your Advaithic space, oneness with Nature.  Make the heavens shower!’  And it didn’t rain anywhere, just on that few acres!  And not even on Mysore Road!  I told them, ‘Bring yourself to the Advaithic space, the Completion space.  Give the aahuthi to Mahadeva and request him, “Please accept this and show us by the drizzle, the heavens showering, that you accepted”.’  I told them, ‘Finish this, only then you start the classes.’  They did it!

Powers are not wrong.  This system which I am teaching all of you, the Teamily process, the experience of Advaitha, living Advaitha, not only awakens the non-dual experience in you as short as within twenty-one days, it is also as deep as the great process of Hatha Yoga; it awakens the Ashta Maha Siddhis!

So, I am giving you the essence of the whole process today.

The first step: Form a Teamily.  Teamily means, family + team together.  Persons with whom you are sharing your whole day, the person may be your senior officer or junior officer, he may be your employee or employer, he may be your subordinate or boss, the persons with whom you are sharing your home, it may be your kid, your father, your mother, your daughter, your spouse, husband or wife, even your maid, driver, whoever is living in and around you, whoever is living with you, around you. 

Unfortunately, all the English words are too small.  The word “bandhu mithra”, what it means in Sanskrit can never mean “friends and relatives” in English.  In Sanskrit the depth of the word “bandhu mithra” can never be translated by the word “friends and relatives”.  That is why I am struggling, I am using so many words – people who live around you, with whom you share your life and all that.  In Sanskrit, just these two words are enough: “bandhu mithra” – your Teamily, your team and family. 

Make a list of your team and family.  Decide you will live in the space of Completion with all of them. 

First: Form a Teamily.

Second: Decide you will live in the space of Completion with all of them. 

Please understand, for each of these instructions, “why” I already spoke last one month.  “How”, “Why”, all that I have spoken last one month.  Today I am just specifically going to give only the instructions, like capturing the gist.

Third: Form a clear identity which you want to live –

·         authentic Inner Identity which you want to live,

·         authentic Outer Identity which you want to live,

·         authentic Others’ Image, means the image which others want to feel about you, the image, what is the image you want others should experience about you, and,

·         Life Image, what is the image you want to experience about life. 

Pen down all these four in an elaborate, detailed way. 

Ask the support of your Teamily.  Tell them, ‘This is the way I am going to build myself.  Can you all support me, help me by giving the feedback, what all incompletions I have to complete, what all the way I have to transform myself to be this authentic personality?’  Asking the feedback of your Teamily.

When your Teamily gives the feedback, you need to sit and contemplate to track back, trace back all those incompletions in you, how the patterns developed in you and became those incompletions which your Teamily is pointing out.  If you tell your Teamily, ‘I want to be remembered by all of you as a loving, caring person.’, and your Teamily says, ‘Then you need to develop more trust on us.  As on now the trust is not enough.’, then look back when this distrust pattern has started developing in you.  Trace back, track back.  Then you make a list of all the incompletions you need to complete. 

Your Teamily’s feedback is like a raw understanding.  You tracking back and tracing back to the source of patterns, root incident from when you developed those incompletions....  I gave you one example.  If you declare your Others’ Image – ‘I want everyone of you to perceive me as a loving, caring person’ – and your Teamily gives you the feedback – ‘You may have to raise your trust on us more.  That is the incompletion we find’ – then you need to sit and trace back when you started developing this distrusting pattern.  Those incidents pen down. 

Now, all the feedback your teamily gave, and the tracking back, tracing back you did which is available in front of you, is the incompletions you need to complete.  That is the incompletions you need to complete. 

So, listen!  Please listen!  Once you list all the root incidents, root patterns, incompletions, now it is time for you to complete.  I tell you, the moment you pen them down and identify your incompletions, they lose power over you, they lose power over you.

Sometimes people ask me, ‘How to know the Teamily’s feedback is right?’  Be very clear, anything Teamily gives as feedback, take it as right!  Don’t even have the problem whether Teamily is right or wrong.  Anything which Teamily gives as feedback, take it as right, and trace back, track back.  If it is not right, don’t worry; naturally those incompletions will not be there.  If it is there, complete it.  If it is not there, enjoy.  That’s all!

So, when you describe all your incompletions in detail, just by understanding, most of them will lose power over you.  And the remaining, if there are a few sitting like a small wound, like a pus, just for a few days complete them and drop it.  It will disappear.  Nothing to be worried, nothing to be bothered. 

So, I will give you the next few days to do this Completion. 

Completion can be done in two ways: 

·         One, reliving and relieving. 

·         Or, using your intelligence and just discarding. 

When you know it is incompletion, you can just discard; that’s all!  If you feel so attached, you are not that sure it is only incompletion, then sit and brood over, relive them and relieve. 

Please listen, next few days you have time to do the Completion.  May be from May 1^st....  May 1^st to almost whole May, we will be having satsanghs from Varanasi, other than a few days.  Because, a few days we are planning for the early morning boating in Ganga and early morning Vishwanatha’s darshan; for the darshan of Vishwanatha, we are planning for early morning Vishwanatha darshan where we will be doing Rudrabhishekam.  We are also planning, but the space is not yet confirmed if we want to do our Rudrabhishekam inside Vishwanatha Temple.  So, other than those few days, we may have almost the whole May satsangh as long as I am there.  The last few days I may be going to Haridwar and coming back.  Anyhow, many days we will be having satsangh from Varanasi.  I will guide you to the next level of Advaitha; means, next level of experiencing Advaitha after the Completion.

After the Completion, it is Co-creation, Co-creation with your Teamily.  But, before that, I wanted you to finish the Completion process.  There are a few people who have not done it.  Especially if you want to be a Thanedar or Kothari or Mahant or Shrimahant, please listen, you have to form your teamily, you have to declare your authentic identity – only to your Teamily; you don’t need to tell everyone; and you have to get your Teamily feedback, and you have to trace back all your incompletions, and you have to complete with them.  And the Teamily does not need to know the root incident.  Even your patterns, the Teamily does not need to know.  You have to complete with it by May 1^st, before May 1^st, because May 1^st itself, from May 1^st any day I may start the next step of the Living Advaitha – Co-creation, being a Co-creator.

Please listen!  So, if you are doing this process, you have a few days’ time to complete.  If you are half way, you have a few days to complete.  If you have not even started, you have a few days to complete.  If you are doing, you have a few days to complete.  If you are half way, you have a few days to complete.  If you have not even started, you have a few days to complete.

With this, I will move to the Kalpataru process.  Before the Kalpataru process, I will complete today’s blessings.

Ma Ananda Atmasarayu, Vancouver!  Today Vancouver is starting NIthyananda Bala Vidyalaya, in Vancouver and Richmond, both places.  My blessings for Ananda Atmasarayu!  Ma Ananda Atmasarayu, blessings for you!  And all the Nithyananda Bala Vidyalaya students, my blessings!    

And Kuala Lumpur-Palani, Prabhu Palaniappan, birthday blessings!  With all the auspiciousness, you will be with me, I will be with you!  Blessings Palaniappan, Vasanthi Aachi, everyone, Dr. Chellappan, and all the names, Meenakshi, Annamalai, Arunachalam!  Palaniappan is telling, ‘Swami forgot Aachi’s names!’  No, I didn’t forget!  Blessings to every one of you!

And, Hyderabad, blessings for the marriage of Shiva!  Shiva, blessings for your marriage!

Mahesh, birthday blessings!  With all the auspiciousness, you will be with me, I will be with you!  Blessings!

So, we will move to the Kalpataru process. 

All the participants, the devotees who have come for Kalpataru Darshan, please sit straight.  Listen to the instructions.  First, pick up one thought, choose only one thought you want to cause as reality, one thought you want to cause as reality, and all the doubts, fears, you have about that thought becoming reality.  For example, if you want to create health, all your fears, doubts, all that.  So, pen down one thought you want to cause as reality, and all the impossibilities, doubts, fears you have around that thought.  So, please pen down.

(After a few minutes.....................)

Now, please sit straight.  Complete with all the doubts, fears you have, impossibilities you have about causing that one thought.  Complete all the incompletions and drop them.  Hold the space to make that thought into reality.  If you want health, see already you are healthy.  If you want wealth, see wealth is there already in your inner-space.  Hold the thought you want to cause as reality now.  Namah Shivaya!

KALPATARU MEDITATION IN PROGRESS.....................

Thathaasthu!  I bless you all!  The space you created, let it become reality!  The thought you held on, let it become reality!  Thathaasthu!  Thathaasthu!  Thathaasthu!

We will have darshan for all the participants who came to Bidadi for Kalpataru.  And then we will have SMKT meeting.

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