"What is the direct solution to transcendence as mentioned in Chapter 2, Sutra 11 of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras?","transcend through meditation. Chapter 2, sutra 11. Transcendence can happen only thru meditation. Growth can happen thru various practices, but Transcendence can happen only thru meditation. Med is the only way where Transcendence can happen. The quantum break thru, quantum leap happens only thru med. Patan till last sutra, was speaking about different process. Now he is giving direct solution. Let us enter into the sutra. dhyana heyahastad brudaya. Vivek: by med their modifications have to be rejected Prabh: in their fully developed form they can be overcome thru meditation Dwid: Their transformations have to be suppressed by me There is no doubt. The samskaras can be Transcended only by med. No doubt. Let us understand the word med dhyana. 1000s of interpretation, 1000s of ways, 1000s of methods, 1000s of undefined about dhyana exist. Let me give you exactly what I mean by the word dhyana. Means being in the state of nirvikalpa, thru unclutching. That is what I call dhyana. Getting back to that state again and again and again. So being in dhyana is the only way Transcendence will start happening. All these engrams will leave your system."
"What is the guarantee for freedom from engrams, and how does Transcendence play a role in this process?","Till the Transcendence happen, there is no guarantee you will have freedom. The engrams will have its own power. It will go on giving you constant torture, suffering. Only when the Transcendence happens, engrams will free you and you will be free from the engrams. In zen they call it taming of the mind. But here what I am saying is not even taming of the mind, just dropping the mind. Going beyond the mind. Just being in the unclutched space. Again and again and again I go on speaking on unclutching. I never get bored. I may give 1000 intros, I may do 1000 things, finally I come and land in that. Again and again unclutching is the only solution how much ever your mind avoids that solution. Avoids that process, that is the only solution. That is the only way for the ultimate. That is the only way you can Transcend the expansion and expression of samskaras engraved memory. Constantly being in dhyana, being in the unclutched mode, whole day walking, talking, sitting doing everything in unclutched mode. If you observed from yday night, suddenly whole ashram has slowed down."
"What is the key to achieving Transcendence according to Patanjali, and how can one cultivate it in daily life?","I put them into a sp practice radiating enlight. It is prep for vyana and udana. Anything you do has to be done with awareness. Dhyana. What patanj says Transcendence can happen only thru dhyana. If you are walking, walk with awareness. How earth feels, what your muscles feel, where the thigh bone and hip bone feel. Feel continuously how ... 3 things one breathing, 2 belly movement, 3 body movements. Be aware of all these 3. That is the only way, Transcendence can happen. So walking, talking, standing, eating, whole day be aware. Morning when you wake up, dont jump from the bed, if you did that, go back again. Wake up again slowly with awareness (Buddha story) Everything you do, let it be filled with awareness. Awareness is the only way of Transcendence. From this moment, be in dhyana zen. Suddenly the whole thing will get slowed down. It is ok. Perfect. Nothing wrong. You are not in a hurry to achieve anything, do anything. If things get slowed down. It is ok. But infuse awareness. Watch your breath, your belly movements, your thoughts. Whatever is happening around you, in you, continuously be aware."
"What is the process that starts in you when you simply sit in restful awareness, and how does it transform your entire being?","Float, breathe, live, move in awareness. What is happening inside and outside your system, have the tremendous awareness. Even now while you are sitting be aware. How your muscles feel, mind feels, body feels, listen to these words with deep awareness. Suddenly you will see these words are just encompassing you. My presence is just penetrating you, filling you. Something is overflowing in you. Pl und just ordinary sitting, the process is starting in you. That is what is called LEP. Just one process. Within one day, the whole ashram has slowed down. This was the most restless place on planet earth till yesterday evening. And now, this is the most restful awareness place on planet earth. I dont think any other organization will have this kind of restful awareness. It is such an important thing in your life, start living, start radiating. Let your walking, talking, sitting, let everything be in restful awareness. Let everything have restful awareness. With R.A earth will feel you are a blessing. You will feel your body is a blessing. With RA you will feel as if honey is moving in you."
How can one infuse dhyana into all movements and actions to awaken the powerful energy of Kundalini?,"First thing you will feel there is a deep sweetness is happening in the throat. So und, infuse dhyana into all the movements. Walking, talking, sitting, standing, living, breathing, in all movements, infuse prana. Dhyana, zen, consciousness all are diff words for the same phenomena. Whatever is happening in you, be aware of that. Let that awareness, penetrate into all your actions, talking, walking, sitting, inside whatever is happening. Even the digestion, be aware. What is going on inside your heart, intestines, liver inside your system. Be aware. You will see very clearly that being aware will awaken one of the most powerful energy in you Kundalini. That is the only way to Transcend ordinary disturbance. To Transcend all the distortions which happen inside your inner space. Let us enter into the next sutra. Klesha moola karma aashayaha drushta adrushta janma vedaaniyaha Vivek: the receptacle of works has its root in the aforesaid pain bearing obstructions and their experience is in the visible life or unseen next life Prabha :A man's latent tendencies have been created by his past thoughts and actions. These tendencies will bear fruits in life's to come."
"What is the root cause of all problems, as per Patanjali's teachings?","It means, the root cause of all these problems is rooted in karmaashaya where all the samskaras are recorded and stored. It has to be experienced. It will be experienced in this or the next life. Many tech terms. Karmashaya where all the engrams are stored. Today morning I was describing the folded tent our deep sleep state. That is karmashaya where all our tendencies are stored. Its effect is exp either in this life or other unseen lives. Patan is 1st time introducing great truth to create your strategy for all lifes. Person who creates SP for seen life is a materialist. One who creates for all lives is Enlight. One who has SP for 100 yrs the other for Life. Of course there are others who dont have SP even for the seen life. So SP for the whole life not just this 60 yrs. Not just this 100 yrs. For the whole life, patanjali is introducing this great truth now. He is saying if they are in the karmashaya. Means, even if they. It will be experienced in some life. Word unseen life is one in lives to come or even in this life unconscious parts."
What is the only solution to prevent samskaras from staying in you even in the seed level?,"This sutra is more like a statutory warning. That is why it is boring. But it has to be told. Do not allow the samskaras to stay in you even in the seed level. The only sol not to let them stay in you even in the seed level is infuse awareness whole day. Whole day morn till night from the moment you wake till you fall asleep, just be intensely aware. Aware of walking, talking, sitting ,standing, everything. Be aware. That is the only way, even in the latent potential level the engrams will not be staying in you. Our engrams are so powerful they cheat us in a very easy way. With diff diff names and forms. One great rishi, Jada bharatha. He was meditation in a river in a forest. One day one small baby deer - jmother gave birth and died. So he saw that baby. And his compassion. He adopted that baby, starting take care of that baby. Slowly started attached to that baby. The deer started growing and his attachment started growing."
"What happens when an engram, even if it comes up with different names like compassion, is allowed to exist in one's life?","After some time, his whole day he was attached to that deer, whole life was around that deer. (in my life, grand ma was attached to a dog) so the deer became center of life for him. Then by and by and by, whole day his whole life is centered on that deer. Slowly, very slowly, his whole mind got centered on that deer, one day he died with the memory of the deer. He took birth and came bk to live with the deer as companion. When living with that deer, suddenly one rishi touched him and gave him past life memory. He thot oh god what happened to me. I was supposed to be enlight here I am living a deer life. So engrams, even if it comes up with diff names like compassion, this that are very dangerous. Can be really very dangerous. Even one engram allowed can destroy whole life. Fire, loan, enemity, engram these 4 you should not leave even little. It can grow even before you open your eyes. All these 4 should not be even little bit. All 4 should be destroyed completely. Inhaling, exhaling, belly movement, body movement. Infuse awareness into everything."
"What is the correct way to rectify an unconscious movement during meditation, and how does it lead to developing a habit of awareness?","If you have moved unconsciously no get back. Do it consciously. That is what is called prayashchitha. Dont feel shy to do prayashchita. Dont think somebody will laugh. Only when you do prayashchtha for 3-4 days, you will be in habit of awareness. As of now, if you move your muscles, you may feel bitterness in throat. But if you infuse awareness, it will create sweet taste in your throat. Whole body will feel sweet. Then you will happy and grateful for your life which itself is a blessing. You will be happy that life has happened in you. You will be happy that life is radiating in you. Again, the moment it becomes evening, again and again I get into a mood of doing. Sandhya is very powerful. Evening's power to put yourself into med by its very nature is amazing and unimaginable. Und the process. Awareness. Thats all. Just close your eyes. Dont move your body.."
"What is the significance of living and leaving in the context of spiritual growth, as per the teachings of Patanjali?","Live it to leave it. All the auspicious things should be lived so that you can leave without any yearning. Without the feeling that you are missing something. Without the feeling that there is something not happening in your life. All auspicious things should be lived so that you can leave. Living and leaving are two sides of the same coin. Please understand, if you have not lived you can't leave. If you dont know how to leave, you cant live. Unless you dont know how to leave the past, you cant live. Any hangover you have inside you of the past will reduce the ability to live in the present. Whether it is living or leaving, both should be complete. Here is Patanjalis sutra, today is the 18th sutra in 2nd chapter. Overall if you see 69th sutra. Prakasha Kriya Sthithi Seelam Bhoota Indriya Atmakam Bhoga Apavargha Artham Drushyam Vivekananda: the scene which is composed of elements (5 elements) and organs (indriyas), characterized by illumination and action and inertia is for the purpose of the experience and release of the seer."
"What is the significance of the scene being created in the context of experiencing and being released from the seen, which is of the nature of the gunas, illumination, activities and inertia?","The scene is created so that you can experience it and be released, be out of it Satchitananda: the seen is of the nature of the gunas, illumination, activities and inertia. Prabhava: the object of exp is composed of 3 gunas the principles of illumination, activity, inertia. From this the whole universe has evolved. I will just remind you yesterdays sutra. The last sutra says Means the cause of the misery which is to be avoided is the junction of the seer & the seen. When the seer & the seen overlap each other, samyoga happens in each other, that is where the suffering starts. That is when the suffering starts. In the last sutra, the samyoga is the keyword union or overlapping or misidentification. That is the keyword. Now in this sutra, we have many keywords. Prakasha means illumination, satva, kriya means activity. Sthithi inertia tamas, seelam bhoota indriya atmakam bhoga apavargha artham drushyam. Beautiful truth. This whole world is made out of elements pancha bhootas earth, water, fire, air, ether pancha bhootas. Experienced by organs sense organs they are not 5 as you think. It is actually 11. Karmendriya and gnanendriya."
"What is the significance of the numbers 5, 6, and 11 in understanding the organs and the chaos in our lives?","G is 5 which receives things inside, karmen is 6 which does the action. Your tongue when it receives it g, when it tastes k Genital organs when it releases waste k, when it is used in sexual activity G. your hands when active K, legs k, G -5, K -5. Mind which plays between all these 10 continuously is the 11th. So all these put together 11 things are called organs. The world which is made out of the 5 elements. Then understand the chaos going on. This is made out of, the medium of experience is made out of 11. Then the 5+11 = 16 are playing with the 3 gunas 16x3 understand the chaos happening in you. If in any of these, if any one shifts the guna,immd the expe will be totally different. So if in 5 anyone changes its gunas or 11 if anyone changes, expe about you and the world will be different. It is like a huge chaos. You dont know what is happening. That is why patanjali says we are established in 3 prakasha life, sthithi inertia dull, kriya activity. When the energy shifts, organs or elements shift, happens chaos."
"What is the purpose of this whole thing, as per Patanjali and Ramakrishna?","This whole thing is made so that the seer, the consc in you can exp and liberate it. Ramakrishna says anybody who is a Paramahamsa has to go thru all experiences. Nastradamous predicted me in 8 things 1. Parental name will mean Chandra based on moon (Raja)One of them is he will go to prison once. He says he will create largest spiritual center in the world. I can see very clearly we will fulfill Nastradamus' prediction. It will be the largest spiritual center in the world. Paramahamsa has to go thru all experiences. That is what Patanjali means here - this whole thing is created so that we exp and get liberated. The problem, we try to exp but never feel the need to be liberated. Exp with the clarity to get liberated. Und, world is given to you as free so that you can be Free. I have few one liners There was a Guruji named free free Guruji. Its ok. I am not going to read these one liners. Leave it World is given to you as free, so that you can be free."
What is the key to experiencing life's activities without getting entangled in them?,"Unfortunately, you go on try to experience to get entangled to get more & more into experience. The moment you enter have the clear awareness it is for liberation. When you enter it with the clarity for liberation, nothing can bind you. Just a simple understanding it is for liberation. When you enter into the same activity, whether eating, listening, touching. Any process, understand, experience it with all your 11 organs g 5 which is seeing, listening, smelling, tasting, touching this G 5\\. K 5 means your hands working, tongue talking, genital organs reprod, legs walking, Excretion \\- cleaning. K 5 \\+ mind all 11 whatever you exp, pl remember, I am experiencing just to free myself. I tell you any experience you go through in life is enuf. Smarana is enough. When you stop smarana you are in marana,. Simple rememberance thru all these 11 and enjoying all these 11 is enough. Remember. This one rememberance will awaken vyana energy in you. Vyana is nothing but more awareness in your actions. Just remember, I am expeirnecing all this to be free."
What is the key to shifting your understanding about yourself and experiencing life as a complete experience?,"When you walk, talk, eat, touch, smell, listen, anything remember, I am experiencing all this just to be free. Thats all. The whole way in which you function will be shifted. Suddenly, your understanding about you is shifted. So no exp will entangle you. You will not be entangled in any exp. It will be a complete experience. Pl understand, biggest problem human beings have is you become so hypocrite, you yourself dont believe whatever practice you do will have any effect on you. You dont need to change the way in which you do things, you need to change the way in which you think. Unfortunately, if you are brought up in an orthodox way, you will have a deep guilt in you. If orthodoxy happens with deep understanding, that is enlightenment that is different. But if it happens based on laws and rules just orthodox upbringing you will suffer terribly. It is the worst conspiracy done to humanity. Because you dont feel respect for yourself. Und, the way in which you perceive things and remember is enough. That will work."
What is the root cause of our suffering with guilt and why do we struggle to be genuine in our relationships and thoughts?,"But we are so arrogant and so deeply suffering with guilt, we know we dont mean what we talk, not only that you dont even mean what you think. It is almost like a corporate world. If you dont mean what you talk, you will be successful in your relationship, if you dont mean what you think success in corporate world. Layers of hypocrisy. It is almost like a structure built just by straw, no backbone. That is why you yourself think what you are thinking. You dont know what you mean actually by your thinking and by your words. I tell you simple remembrance will do 2 things collapse 1st layer of hypocrisy- you dont mean what you talk to others-outer layer of hypo. You dont mean what you talk to yourself 2nd layer of hypocrisy inner layer of hypo. Remembering all these experiences are just to feel free will collapse 1st layer of hypothesis. Then the 2nd layer will automatically dissolve. Collapsing the 1st layer hypothesis is a real important thing. You go on try to fight with outer layer hypothesis."
What is the difference between changing the outer layer hypothesis and experiencing a real change in one's life?,"When you dont mean what you talk to others, you try to change it, but it never happens. It is more or less like making up. You do it and it comes back again. Collapsing the 2nd layer hypothesis is like plastic surgery. You may not need to do it every time. Und, collapse deeper layer hypothesis. You dont even mean what you think. That layer of hypothesis needs to be destroyed, collapsed. The change in outer layer hypothesis never happens unless you expect a change in inner layer hypothesis."
What do people really mean when they say they have a hypothesis in management circles?,"I have a few one-liners on hypothesis What they really mean in management circles when they say something to themselves When they say """"We will do it"""" they mean you better do it You have done a great job watch it you have more work coming -we were working on it we have not even got started tomorrow 1st thing in the morning next week maybe - What is your opinion this is my view, you better shut up and listen Lets call a meeting and discuss it I don't have time to talk to you now Why don't we do it together I am going to hang around while you do the job Thats a wonderful question I dont have a clue how to answer you - All the best you are in trouble buddy Please provide the text from THE SPH's discourse for analysis and cleaning. I will follow the rules strictly and provide the cleaned text as output. Understand, the double layer hypothesis. If you have the hypothesis you dont mean what you tell others you will be successful in relationships."
What is the key to collapsing the inner hypothesis and achieving liberation from both hypocrisies?,"But if you dont even mean what you tell yourself you will be successful in corporate circles. Inner & outer hypothesis. Collapsing of the inner hypo happens by constant remembrance. That is why all spiritual tech have some techniques that insist on remembrance. In all techniques. Hinduism has great practices soham, hamsa mantra. Christian practicing presence of God, zen awareness. I give you this as process from patanj today. Remember, all experiences are just to make you free. With this understanding, wake up early morning, wow, I am experiencing cool breeze, comfort of bed, cosy experience, light early morning sun because I have to be free from all this. I am eating because I have to be free from all this. I am touching, because I have to be free from all this. I am breathing, because I have to be free from all this. Let all experiences be added with one remembrance. This is provided to me to be free. World is free to make you free. So life is free free Remembrance of this one truth will liberate you from both hypocrisies. Liberation from both hypocrisy is enlightenment."
"What is the difference between being a medium and being media to oneself, as per the teachings of the guru?","If you really mean what you think and talk you are enlightened. When you dont mean what you talk and think, you are bound. That is where the hypocrisy and suffering starts. You have almost become a tabloid journal for yourself. That is what is media. They dont mean what they talk. Dont be media for yourself. Be medium to yourself. Either you are media or medium to yourself when I say medium I mean higher consc. Better be medium for yourself not media for yourself. Few one liners for media Oh god this media this is the title. These are actual newspaper headlines which appeared Something went wrong in Jet crash expert says safety experts say school bus passengers shud be belted. One newspaper headline read prostitutes appeal to pope Miners refuse to work after death Two Soviet ships collide, one dies Is there a ring of debris around no need relax I can't read out that word Typhone rips through cinema 100s dead. Sex education delayed teachers request training Kids make nutritious snacks Astronaut takes blame for gas in the spacecraft. Include your children when baking cookies. These are real headlines happened in press and magazines."
"What is the difference between proof reading and fool proof reading, and how does it relate to the process of liberation?","How unconscious people are when writing. I dont think they read what they write. I think they are free from what they write. That is why they write whatever they want. When you write a spiritual book, what you do is called proof reading. When you write a tabloid or yellow journal, what you do is fool proof reading, FOOL proof reading. Collapse 2 layers of hypnosis just by this one smarana. Rememberance of all these experiences are given to you to be free. Sutra again The seen which is composed of elements, organs ...is for the purpose of exp and release of the seer, liberation of the seer. Remember, everything is given to you for exp and liberation of yourself. Remember to liberate yourself, you will be liberated. Today this is the process. Go around exp everything just by remembering it is all for liberation. Whatever you exp in the skin, in the mind, in the smell, in the sound, everything is for liberation. Close your eyes and sit. Let you all experience. Dont move your body, just let the eyelids drop.."
How does the concept of NSP relate to the scientific findings on the impact of human emotions on DNA and the immune system?,"Your thoughts & emotions can alter your DNA. There is a website [www.soulsofdistortion.com](http://www.soulsofdistortion.com). In that, scientist Daniel Winter and his heart coherence team found proof that human emotions can re-program your DNA and shape your immune system. The whole NSP is proved through this one statement. NSP is all about re-programming your human emotions removing your fear, removing your useless tiring desires. The desires which are useless, tiring is your Aagaamya. The emotions which do not bring joy but only tiredness to you, the desires which bring tiredness in you is Aagaamya. If you are suffering with diabetes, the imbalance of samaana you are suffering with desires which leave you tired. The fear shows as BP in you. I have seen even in my system beyond the 6th level of Samadhi, immediately the bodys innate desire of survival my BP shoots up to 170. And when I fall from 6th to 5th level. It comes down to normal. If your survival instinct is constantly challenged, BP goes up. If you are constantly suffering with the ideas which make you tired, aagaamya diabetes starts. If you are constantly suffering with the shrinking ideas, guilt then you suffer with arthritis."
What is the reason behind your relationships unable to expand in life?,"If you are suffering with the memories of physical, mental, emotional pain that is directly responsible for your relationships unable to expand in life. If you carry some emotional pain in your system, you will stop expanding. Life is connecting with more & more people who are in tune with your ideas. If your ideas are too strong that common man cannot connect with you, then create a network which can follow your ideas. Either be a leader or a never be a follower. Never live in a community where you are not able to feel connected or settled. If you are not able to, just leave it is good for you and the community. This is creating community out of friendliness. Sometimes your experiences, ideas are so strong, that common man may not be able to connect. Then create a medium in which you can share your truth. Then you will be a leader. Whatever way you expand is life. Shrinking or unable to expand means carrying the intense pain samskara. So each session of the NSP is the experience of this truth. It says human emotions can re-program and shape your DNA."
"What is the direct impact of re-programming DNA on an individual's health, as observed in NSP?","When your DNA is re-programmed immediately your health also alters. That is why people walk out of incurable chronic diseases. I have seen 1000s of people walking out of cancer in NSP just 4 days! 90% of the people who attend the program, I have seen them walking out of depression. The remaining 10% also do not want to walk out. They have vested interest in their depression. People love suffering so much. It makes them feel very comfortable. Depression gives you like a psychological cosy feeling. That is where the depression gets rooted. Every session in NSP is to make you experience the removal of unnecessary emotions, samskaras and re-program your DNA such that you live in a high evolved state. The scientific studies have proven that no matter how well the babies are fed, when they lack the caressing and loving touch of the mother, they could eventually die. The loving hugs of the mother are sent directly down to the DNA. This proves direct question why hugging. A mother who gives birth to your body, even her hug can directly go to your DNA."
"What can be the effect of a master's hug, whose all strands of DNA are awakened, on a person?","Surely not all the 12 strands of DNA is awakened but even her hug goes directly to your DNA. Imagine, hug of master is cosmic mothers hug whose all strands of DNA are awakened, what can it do to you. I have learnt hugging from Raghupati Yogi. He is a weird Yoga guru. Sometime people with 100 kg will come to him. He even doesn't look at that person up & down. He will just ask the person to do Seershasan. He will have 3-4 wild guys yama dootas. He will tell them to help the guy. The fellows will just hold him, tie him upside down. They will be completely shaken and their survival instinct will be completely awakened. And they will be like a frightened baby. He will just call them and give one hug. He is a lean, short guy maybe 5 feet. It is almost like an initiation. One hug he will give. He will tell his yama dootas to leave them. Literally in those few moments they will settle down, be calm and in 30 seconds they will just stand up side down. I am telling you the physical proof, power of a yogis hug."
"How does a guru make his disciples stand upside down for 3 full minutes and then perform difficult asanas like Mayurasana, and what is the significance of such practices?","They will just stand upside down, their pressure will be normal. He will make them stand upside down sometime for 3 full minutes. From next day, he will make them do all kinds of asanas difficult asanas like Mayurasana. It is balancing your whole weight on palms with hands on the stomach. That heavy weight cannot stand on the palms. But he would make them do it. In that whole mandapa all asanas will be carved like Mayura asana, Matsya asana. All he will say is ask them to do it. And that poor fellow will just do it. How the whole body can be shaped just by one hug. I always used to wonder what is he up to. And same way, he had one dog. That dog will straight away climb a tree. There was a naaga linga tree. He will tell the dog to bring the flower from top of tree. It is difficult for you guys to believe. If you see only you will believe. That dog will just climb, not touch flower with mouth, take it in the front leg, walk with the 3 leg and come down."
"What is the power behind the masters hug or touch, as observed in Raghupati Yogi's interactions with the naaga linga tree flowers and his dog?","Raghupati Yogi will take that flower, on ground he will draw a figure. Put that flower, chant something, he will mildly slowly levitate, land and sit on that flower. He had no deity or anything. At least 10-12 people I know have seen this weird morning pooja. the naaga linga tree flowers will not be on branches. Sometime if lower level branch flower is not there, the dog goes to him and he will give one hug. The dog will just climb to higher branches. How a hug can transmit the great experience. Now I know the science of it. This is the power of the masters hug or touch. I have seen what 5-6 hours of discourses and counseling cannot do, I have seen my one hug will do. That is why still even people who lived around me for 6-7 years will not miss a chance of hugging me. Because it is an experience. Something will happen in the system. It is not always a loving hug, sometime it is like a beating. Even then something is directly sent to your DNA."
What is the significance of a master's hug in terms of DNA rejuvenation and its effects on the human body?,"Maybe because of this scientific research we can prove power of masters hug before and after hugging. See, hugging is nothing but accepting you as you are. In modern day, who is interested in looking at you, talking to you, forget hugging you. So this is like me telling I accept you as you are, I accept your surrender, I accept your being. I am showering my being. That is why the hug. The hug directly revives and rejuvenates your DNA. But it works from deeper level not from ordinary mental level. That is why even if you dont feel from my face expression, when I hug you just get it. Scientist and researcher Greg Braden gives evidence on how emotions change our DNA. They say, in case of gratitude, love and appreciation DNA responded by relaxing. The length of the DNA expands and it became longer. In case of anger, fear, frustration and stress DNA is tightened up, it becomes shorter & switches off the DNA codes. Morning when you do guru pooja your DNAs length becomes longer for one hour. This is enough to live at least 120 years."
What is the minimum time required to keep the love and appreciation feeling alive in the system for the whole day?,"Even 21 minutes of love & appreciation feeling which is one cycle. One cycle per day if you keep anything alive that is more than enough to keep you whole day in that experience. It is like any emotion maintained in your system is louder than any other emotions. Morning the pada pooja you do 2 cycles. Give discount to one cycle you may not be concentrating. But even if one cycle if you are maintaining some concept, then that becomes the loudest in your system for the rest of the day. Simply 21 minutes means one cycle in the morning sitting with love and gratitude and appreciation is enough you will easily live 130 years. Why do you think these Iyengars live so long. If you from Iyengar family you know how long they live. They still have tradition of applying the marks on forehead and body. Even in some of the Iyer families they have the tradition where they will apply the bhasma and will have shiva or ganesha as their deity. If you can maintain just this one thing your immune system will be constantly programmed and strengthened. This is proved with science."
"What happens to the DNA when we experience anger, fear, frustration, and stress?","The 2nd research in case of anger, fear, frustration and stress DNA gets tightened, becomes shorter and the quotes are switched off. Means almost the partial death becomes an experience in you. So remember anger, fear, frustration and stress will impact your life more than your enemy. As I said yesterday practice abhayam sarva bhoodebyo is enough. Just like Krishna sitting in Arjunas chariot Dhananjayas chariot and with deep feeling of abhayam sarva bhoodebyo how he waged the war, same way, I am sitting in Dhanajayas chariot I am waging the war with the deep feeling of abhayam sarva bhoodebyo he does the job. Be established in the abhayam sarva bhoodebyo state. I tell you not only Krishna many people by his teachings Arjuna, Dharmaraja were established into that mood. As much as you can, every night relax into the mood of abhayam sarva bhoodebyo Then you will understand the pure anger, unmixed anger, unmixed response, a pure strategy. You will just see how beautifully you flow into that and right strategy evolves in you. Not only that your mind and body evolves as a lubricated tool. If the tool gets more heated naturally that will break. Stone will win."
"What is the significance of abhayam sarva bhoodebyo in maintaining a lubricated tool, and how can it be applied in daily life?","If the tool knows how to maintain its coolness, stone will break, tool will win. Same way abhayam sarva bhoodebyo is an amazing lubricant. How Nakula and Sahadeva gave astrological guidance, I am telling people against me to watch this and practice this abhayam sarva bhoodebyo if you can. You will have lubricated tool. Have lubricated cool diamond studded tool Tejas. Tejas means shining like sun, cool like moon. Your intellect is supposed to be like that. To shine like the sun & be cool like the moon not being paranoid about unnecessary things. Whenever in the war, Krishnas words were not obeyed, Pandavas got beaten because their strategy came out of being paranoid not out of lubricated tool. I tell you have the lubricated tool which come with deep compassion of abhayam sarva bhoodebyo I think all of you should write this word abhayam sarva bhoodebyo in your bedroom. At least before falling into sleep when you fall asleep you withdraw yourself from the war. This existence is nothing but a war created by you. Even what you enjoy is a fight. Anything you do which is protected by you is a fight."
How can you transform your daily sleep into a state of Advaita by using the mantra 'abhayam sarva bhoodebyo'?,"So you are withdrawing from the fight and packing up the tent and put inside you. That is what is sleep. So every day when you wind up your tent tell yourself abhayam sarva bhoodebyo now I am withdrawing from all the fight and enmity. I am withdrawing from all the anger, fight, enmity, from the dvandvatva duality tell yourself I am withdrawing from it. As on now when you get sucked into sleep you feel the oneness with the darkness. But when you do this with abhayam sarva bhoodebyo you will get sucked into enlightenment. Before sleeping, remember abhayam sarva bhoodebyo - I am withdrawing remember this and sleep. Then everyday deep sleep state will become advaita for you. Every day you are experiencing Nithyananda state in deep sleep. But you think someone else is doing it for you. No. This abhayam sarva bhoodebyo will put you into it and experience of you doing it. Same way, even when you wake up with abhayam sarva bhoodebyo , you will know clearly it is me playing Rajya sabha, chit sabha, banyan tree, my team, and so on."
"How can one experience Nidra samaadhi sthithihi, as described by Shankara, in their daily life?","That is what Shankara says Nidra samaadhi sthithihi! (in his manasa pooja mantras) all my sleep is samaadhi, all my walking is pradakshina. If you remember you are winding it back and say abhayam sarva bhoodebyo. Have a small board near your bed before going to bed when you say this and pull down chit sabha, ananda sabha, pull down your team, friends, banyan tree, swamiji and tell I am not going to fight with you to each thing. Understand even your pleasures are fights. Relax and say abhayam to your joys and pleasures too. You have tones and tones of honey but you pour into the honey comb and squeeze the honey comb to take the honey drops from it. Even if you are having joy it is fight. I need not fight with my joy nor pains. Then lie down in that state. Morning when you get up, then decide let chit sabha, raja sabha, temple, my team, my enemies be built and start the drama. You will see the nidra samaadhi sthithihi will be experienced in you. Then the stress and anger, frustration, stress will die in you."
"What is the effect of sleeping without anger, fear, frustration, and stress on one's DNA and overall well-being?","Every night if you sleep without the anger, fear, frustration and stress, you will see your DNA is awakened and early morning when you wake up you will feel like a flower. Early morning when you wake up your mouth should not feel like bitter and running and brushing your teeth. If that feeling is there, night you have slept with some anger, fear, frustration and stress. Practice this abhayam sarva bhoodebyo for 10 days and you will feel the difference. Then you will feel the mouth sweet and fresh. If your mouth is fresh as if you had a mint in your mouth it means you slept with love there is no anger, fear, frustration and stress. You are anti-ageing. Early morning when you wake up before brushing you must feel the cool fresh breathing as if you had mint. Nothing else is needed. We know then the death was not working on you during the night. Either allow Brahma to work on you or Yama to work on you. If you sleep with the truth of abhayam sarva bhoodebyo brahma will work on you or yama will work on you."
"What happens when one sits with abhayam sarva bhoodebyo, and what is the alternative outcome?","Either kaala or kaala bhairava will work on you. If you sit with abhayam sarva bhoodebyo, you will experience kaala bhairava he will get you. Otherwise kaala death will get you. The website www.livinglightfoundation.com says once 12 strands of DNA are activated, emotions, beliefs, behavioural patterns that do not serve our life can be removed and replaced with vibrations of loving energy. That is what I call you becoming an incarnation. This Is what happened to me in the year 2000 at the age of 22. All the 12 strands of DNA got activated. So the emotions, beliefs, behavioural patterns got removed and got replaced by vibrations of love energy. And I realized I am an incarnation and I have a purpose to live for. This is the science behind how an incarnation feels, believes and acts. There is another website www.balancedexistence.com which gives info on DNA science. Scientists experimented 'The change in emotions changes the shape of DNA. They infer that emotions change our physical DNA and when we change the world around us will change. I tell people be blissful you will attract right situations, right people and will attract wealth too."
What is the essence of practicing higher human emotions in the IA environment?,"The essence is let you start practicing the higher human emotions and re-program your system with higher human existence, with higher ways of existing, with higher reality. You will see your DNA improves, your life changes, your health changes and the world around you changes. IA is giving you an experience of this change. You are re-programmed for attracting the higher things. To experience Buddha, dhamma, sangha, be in IA My blessing to all of you. Blessings!."
"What is the first master who worked on the secrets of pains and pleasures, as per Patanjali?","The secrets of pain and pleasure. Patanjali is the 1st master who has worked on the secrets of pains & pleasures. Pain is not pain as you understand now. If you understand in a right way. Pleasure is not a pleasure as you understand now. If you understand in a right way. Something is happening in you for no reason. Something is getting responded in you without you responding. That is the most funny thing. Without you directly involving or responding. Something is getting responded. So that some response suddenly gets labeled as pain or pleasure. Why it gets labeled as repeat even that you dont know. You know only one thing that pain is there or pleasure is there. It is like a poor guy got into a poor motel. Whatever is put into his mouth he has to swallow and come out. I really tell you from my experience, without you choosing pain & pleasure being cause to you is prison. Nothing else is a prison. People again & again asked me Swamiji you are an incarnation you should have walked out of the prison. I never felt it."
"What is the real prison that human beings are trapped in, according to Patanjali?","Real prison is Pain or pl happening to you without you choosing, you voting, without you being asked. The menu card was never showed to you. It is like food is just pushed inside. And you dont know why it is happening, who is doing. Just in your throat you feel the taste. Thats all. Secrets of pain & pleasure. Patanjali is the first master who made human beings the master of their own life. Things which happen in their life. We will enter into the today's sutras. Last session we were studying 12th sutra of 2nd chapter. I want to go thru once more Klesha moola karna asaya drushta drushta janma vedaneeyaha. The womb of karmas, actions and reactions has its roots in these obstacles. Karma ...in the seen or unseen births. Vivekananda: Prabhavananda: The womb of karmas karmashaya needs to be understood. That is the key word for this sutra. I can say for next few sutras this is the term which you need to understand. Womb of karmas place where the actions and reactions happen continuously in you even if you dont interfere. You can say where you experience life in you."
What is the root cause of both actions and reactions that we experience in life?,"It is a very deep level truth. You experience actions in one level, reactions in another one level, but the root cause of both actions & reactions is what we call karmashaya. Pl understand, all your actions & reactions the source from which they erupt, the source from which they happen is called karmashaya. I can say you exp the same karmashaya during the deep sleep state. What we call the causal body karana sareera. Karmashaya is exp in causal layer. It is almost like a godown. The desire engrams stored in , guilt engrams in , pain engrams in sukhshma sareera . all the engrams broken, poisonous, can't be worked out in this birth. Too much of joy, or suffering. For eg. A poor beggar winning 100 crores in lottery is too much of suffering because he can't handle that money. Then that money will be death for him. Naturally, people who want to own that money won't respect his life. They will take away his life and money. So it is too much suffering for him. So that kind of karmas, which may bring too much suffering or joy, all of them will be in the godown."
"What is the significance of understanding the quality of one's karmashaya, and what is the difference between knowing the details and the flavor/smell of it?","It is like all karmas which u accumulated in all janmnas, everything will be in that godown. It is very imp to understand the quality of your godown. You need not know everything in that godown. It may not be possible or required. You can go thru past life regression, know the details. Sometimes it may be dangerous. The same husband may be wife for you now. Usually it does not happen. 9999% couple just escape and go to different corners of the world. They take care they dont meet each other. But sometime unfortunately, rarely these guys meet. You may not need to know the details of karmashaya. But the flavor of karmashaya, the smell of your godown. You may not need to know how many cans of coke are there, how many piles of stinking rotten clothes are lying, furnitures are there you dont need to know that. But u need to know the smell of your godown. Becos many of your lifes incidents will have the flavor of that godown. I have seen many fellows have such an amazing thing happening but the bad smell of the godown is with them. Just carrying it and suffering."
"What is the reason behind feeling depressed in a blissful environment, and how does knowing the 'odour of your godown' relate to it?","They dont even know why. Sometime you can see early morning, such an ambience, cool breeze, anandeshwara, swamiji in Samadhi, best place to be in. but some nuisance engrams which you remembered will sit on your head heavily and will nto let you enjoy. Even you hate yourself what is going on in me the whole crowd is in bliss, but why am I in drepression. Just becos of one thing you do not know the odour of your godown. Knowling the odour of the godown. Actually if you know the odour of your godown you will just discount it. You will just know this is the godown smell. Thats all. When it is too dirty, u will know this is the godown smell. That is why when you enter your home you may have a dirty smell. But when you know the reason you are ok with it. Same way, awareness of the smell of your godown takes away & removes many sufferings. Here pantan is introducing an imp term. This reaction & action to the karmashaya, the godown happens in many seen or unseen births. Many translators are translating unseen as future birth."
"What is the nature of the life you are living without your knowledge, and how does it relate to the karmashaya?","It is future also, but I will say even now you are living an unseen life without your knowledge. Just go around and ask 10 ppl around u abt opinion abt you. You will not believe it. Ask them to type and give u without name. tell them ppl who are living everyday or see you once an hr, friends, foes or anyone. Just tell them to write or type. Even name not reqd. collect those 10 opinions and see you will not be able to believe any of them. But that is the life you are living Even now you are living an unseen life. In that unseen life, many of the karmas, unseen and seen are expressing from the karmashaya. One more thing, it is almost like a sleeping Pandora box, zoo. Like you enter into a dark room, 2000 poisonous cobras are sleeping, 100 lions and dinosaurs are sleeping and you are supposed to walk in and out of that room. That is what the karmashaya is. You dont know which snake, lion, dinosaur will wake up and roar at what moment. But all fellows are sitting inside."
What is the unseen life that accumulates suffering in your life?,"Karmashaya is very powerful and most dangerous part of you whose flavor , odor constantly oozes out in your seen and unseen life. Unseen life does not mean just the future birth. It is that and also in this life all moments spent in unawareness. That is why I am insisting again & again. Even now, any moment you spend without having awareness of body & mind, is unseen life. All incidents. Gets together and leads to physical mental disease. It takes a lot of time to accumulate suffering. The unseen life is responsible for accumulating suffering. When I see people getting caught in some engrams, I know it has not happened just like that. No. slowly slowly slowly only it got acquired. So infusing awareness even now into your talking, walking, sitting. Sitting is different from I know that I am sitting. When you are just sitting it is matter. When you know you are sitting you are conscious. Chit or Jiva means whether you are conscious or matter will be decided with these 2 statements. R u sitting or do you know you are sitting. If you are sitting you are matter."
"What happens to the naadi when you are aware that you are aware, and how does it relate to the concept of chit and Jata?","If you know you are sitting you are conscious. I am looking at exactly which naadi gets activated when you are aware that you are aware. The naadi next to korma naadi gets activated. I am trying to tie a meter. The meter will record and you can see how much time is spent in awareness and how much in unawareness. You can clearly see the seen life and unseen life. If you have spent 8 hrs in seen life in awareness, it is chit. If you have spent 8 hrs in unawareness, that is when you are in Jata. That is what patanjali calls unseen life. It is simple. If you are sitting, you are matter dead. If you know you are sitting you are chit consc. This moment you can be alive, next moment die. All aware moments are life and unaware moments are death. Every moment you are alive your whole mechanism functions in diff way. Not just mind which is resp for cognition, even your body which is resp for your sensory experiences acts & reacts in a completely diff way the moment you are aware you are sitting or whatever is happening in you."
What is the relationship between awareness and the cognition process and sensory perceptions as per the 12th sutra?,"Awareness straightaway without any gap transforms the cognition process and sensory perceptions. Cognition process is ur reaction to all that happens to your body. Sensory perceptions is what happens to your body. The problem which Patanjali speaks is too big and solution too simple. But our logic is such it always says, prob is too big how can it be solved in such small way. So the 12th sutra talks something very imp. The root womb or actions of reactions where all your karmas, all your unclassified engrams the engrams which cannot be classified, the engrams out of which your dream state is made, your dreams are made out of which you paint this world. Actually if there is less karmashaya, you will directly catch master. Karmashaya is reps for you not surrendering to master. Unfortunately karmashaya is such it operates in your inner state when you are unaware. Awareness is like a stay order for karmashaya. So if you stay more time in awareness the unoperated karmashaya will reduce. Means you will know it is from godown. The moment you know it is from godown it will not have any power on you."
What is the solution for karmashaya according to the teachings?,"Solution for karmashaya is to be aware from morn to night. Your first moment in bed to last moment in bed be aware. Lets enter into next sutra. 13th sutra, 2nd chapter. Sati mooley, tat pipaka, jaat ayubodaha Vsatchit with the existence of the root there will be fruits also namely births of different species of life, their life span and experiences Vivek: the root being there, the fruition comes in the form of species, longevity, experience of pleasure and pain Prabh: ...and the experiences of pleasure and pain. As long as little bit of smell or the objects which causes the smell is left in your godown there will be smell either intensely or mildly. There will be disturbance in the form of birth, longevity and so many other things. Und, thru this sutra, Patna emphasizes the imp of burning of all the engraved memories, samskaras. He insists the burning of all samskaras. Loan, fire, enemity and samskaras should not be left even a little bit. If you leave a loan a little bit, interest, interest, interest to interest it will be standing as a demon in front of you. In TN new systems like auto meter."
"What happens when you think about an engram, even if it's just a little, and how does it relate to the growth of samskaras and memories?","The meter interest will run. Same way fire, will grow & stand. Enemity will grow and stand. Same way, samskaras engraved memories, if you think oh little, it will grow and stand. Joke: woman at party. As long as the other person is there, whether he looks at you or not he is going to irritate you. As long as there is an engram, whether it expresses itself as action or not, it is going to irritate you. The odor and smell of engram will be constant source of torture and suffering. Even your joy if it is because of an engram, it will not be a joy. For eg. If you have engram that sweet brings joy to you. Put in mouth continuously, maybe 3, 4 or max 10 after that. No. nothing more. Anything engram based is suffering. Even if your pleasure is measured with scale of engram, it is suffering. It never leads you to pleasure. pleasure means where the excitement happens for no reason, just because of overflowing energy, bubbling energy. U know you are joyful but you dont know why. The moment you know why, you will destroy it."
"What is the nature of great intelligence, and how does it relate to the destruction of pleasure?","The great intell you have is any great pleasure you can destroy. (brahmachari) He should do as I want. That is where the calamity or difference starts. If he is intelligent, no it is because of compassion...sometimes people are brought here to serve the sangha. Sometimes people are brought here they can't be allowed to be in society. Some are brought let them serve society, sometimes no let us save the society. The human mind plays all possible games. Patanjali insists in this sutra the imp of destroying ALL the samskaras. Under removing the samskaras has 2 levels. One if you reduce them to thought level by removing attachment your life will be great you will have an ecstatic life. But if you destroy them completely, you have the right and freedom not to come back again. I know ppl takin' birth just to have a cup of icecream. I have really seen. After I came out of prison, one small child was brought. I asked that baby what do you want it said I want candy. When I gave candy I saw this fellow has taken birth just for one desire for one candy."
"What happens when a person's desire is completely consumed by a single object, like a child's desire for a candy, and they ask for your help in letting go of that desire?","Oh god what a waste of life. You need heart, lever, kidney, some brain. So much this guy was creating, assuming that body just for one candy. I thot oh god. But one great thing, becos that guy fortunately asked that desire to me, the moment he asked I saw that desire collapsing. I know that child will become enlightened before he gets matured. When you physically mature, all your senses takes a big shift after you are physically mature. So I saw this guy had no other desire of sex, smell, nothing else. Only that candy. That slide was his karmashaya. When that collapsed. I know for sure he will not even be phys matured in ord way. He will just be a paramahamsa. Karmashaya the imp of destroying all the engrams without leaving even one or two. So that you will have comp freedome not to have one more life. The Videha mukti happens. Actually while you are alive, if you have diluted all engrams into thots, those thots will just die down. You will become videhamukta."
"What happens if one engram is left unfulfilled when leaving the body, and how does it affect the cycle of life?","But one imp thing is even if one engram is left and when you leave the body if you cant take care of that, even that one can create the whole cycle of life. Human beings. I could see how that slide collapsed in the childs inner space. That is what Maanikyavaasar describes in one of his verses after taking birth, the cause of taking birth can be destroyed by his one touch. But dont expect you can once more come back just for that candy, ask for it and get liberated. Fortunately for that guy all three matched so it happened. So how do you know all 3 will match. How do you know. You have just one simple engram, coming to master and he being able to fulfill it for you. For eg you have engram to kill somebody, master cannot say bring that person and kill. No. it cannot happen. So better not to leave any engraved memory when you leave the body. And the key word of this sutra is Sati mooley means because of the root of the engrams exists, it leads to life, longevity and all the sensory pleasures."
"What is the difference between reducing engrams to thoughts and destroying them, and how do these two processes relate to the purpose of making sanyasis?","If you reduce all the engrams into thoughts, your life will be happy. It is a life sol. But if you destroy them, you have freedom not to take birth. Many times people ask me you speak so much about life and life sol then why do you make sanyasis. I have 2 work, one to reduce engram to thots. That is what I do with public, my devotees all around the world. That is where I am directly useful to them. They come to me because I am a utility not a swami. That is the life soul part. But there is a 2nd part, sacred part. Destroying ALL engrams. This is what I am doing with my sanyasis. Und, what Patanjali describes in previous sutras, I am doing with dcommon public reducing engrams to thots. But 2nd part, even thots should not be allowed. That is the sacred part. That needs many practices which common man does not understand. That is why you need a monastery. Where those practices are done, are sacred, experienced, enjoyed, without being judged. If you see, a devotee who gets my teachings whole life becomes great, joyful ecstatic."
"What is the difference in the approach towards devotees and disciples versus sanyasis, and what is the key to preventing the root of the problem from becoming a tree?","But for my sanyasis, I give them different experience, different space. Because these guys are supposed to know even if one engram is left, it does not work. This is like completely cleaning the godown. So 2 diff job. Only ppl whose godown is completely clean, can put room freshener on others. Devotees and disciples may need to levitate but these guys are supposed to keep the ground firm for them to land. Sati mooley the keyword becos the root is there again & again birth happens, longevity happens, worldly pleasure happens. What is sol. Just finish it. Thats all. Simple decision to finish it. Not to allow the root to become tree. Not to allow it to sprout. We can do it now. I will see all of you exp a space where your awareness is not getting converted into thot. The clay is there the chit the awareness you is clay. Any name or form made out of that is matter, engram, thto. Now you will see, you is not getting converted into thot or engram. Just simple consc decision. Let me be as my root. Let me not sprout as thot. Let me not grow as thot."
"What is the process that we should follow, as per this sutra?","Just be. That s all. So the process now, from this sutra is just be. Close your eyes.."
"How do you reconcile your previous statements that enlightenment cannot be given from outside with the possibility of achieving enlightenment through the siddha tradition's ultimate chemistry, also known as alchemy or rasavada?","Two days before I was talking about illusion and reality. Life is faith understand; thats all nothing else. Whatever you know as reality appears as reality because those parts of the brain are awakened. If some other parts of the brain are awakened suddenly something else will appear as reality. Thats what is happening in the dream. In the dream different parts of your brain are awakened. Your brain enters into different chemistry, suddenly you see as a different reality. Siddhas have mastered the science of putting your brain into the ultimate chemistry which we call alchemy; rasavada; ultimate chemistry; ultimate alchemy. It is possible; just putting your brain into a different chemistry. People always believed, no enlightenment can never be given something from outside. I also said many times, it can never be given from outside. Now how can this be given just by some herb or medicine. I tell you only when I give, you will understand. It is possible it is possible. People say it cannot be given; as long as they dont know the tradition. I was also saying it cannot be given because I was not touching the siddha tradition."
"What is the significance of reviving the siddha tradition, as per your understanding?","I really felt touching siddha tradition will liberate too many people. Now I decided I am opening siddha tradition. I am reviving siddha tradition. We will not only be curing people, healing people from their illnesses, through siddha medicines, we will be helping people to express extraordinary powers like levitation and extraordinary siddhis like anima, mahima, lahima, karima, the ashta siddhis and ashtakanmas vasiya mogana stambana vidveshana aagrushana ucchadana bhedana marana the ashta kanmas, I will be guiding and helping people to express all this extraordinary energies. And the ultimate cure for this very disease of samsara bhavaroga; enlightenment itself will be shared through the siddha techniques, through the siddha medicines; through the siddha way of life. 13:49 If I have to put in one word the whole siddha tradition the only tradition created capsule for enlightenment. I was trying my best to work with people so that they will also put little effort to have enlightenment; so they will understand the importance of it. Now I saw even for that little effort people are not ready. Sometime what I call as little has different meaning for what people call as little."
What is the significance of the Siddha tradition in the context of enlightenment and the Vedic tradition?,"So I decided to open the tradition of no effort enlightenment; not even low effort enlightenment, no effort enlightenment. See vedanta is effort enlightenment. Yoga is high effort enlightenment. Zen can be called as low effort enlightenment. Siddha tradition is no effort enlightenment. Just through this siddha tradition I will bring the whole vedic tradition alive because siddha tradition directly contributes. Siddhas dont talk, they just do it. Siddhas dont talk, they just do it. One of the oldest tradition. I can say Buddhism has produced largest number of enlightened beings. Yoga; Patanjali has produced largest number of healthy people in the world. Zen has produced largest number of peaceful people in the world. Goudiya sampradaya, Chaitanyas sampradaya, produced largest number of ecstatic people in the world; means being in ecstasy bhava; singing and dancing. Siddha tradition produced largest number of miracle makers in the world; just not only enlightened people, enlightened miracle makers. I have seen at least one hundred siddhas in my life. Please understand when I use the word siddha means, expressing extraordinary powers in physical body. I am telling you this is going to be one of the greatest contribution."
What is the significance of reviving the siddha tradition in the context of the 2012 spiritual explosion?,"I feel this me reviving the siddha tradition is going to be the greatest contribution for 2012 spiritual explosion. Because, if we need to create enlightened beings as I expect, low effort method will not work; no effort method is the only way. eN pills are the only way. So siddha tradition is the only tradition which has evolved the science to create eN pills and eN pillows. All they gave is eN pills for enlightenment and eN pillows just lie down and sleep. Sometime they dont even ask you to swallow the pill. They just give you something and ask you to rest on it done. Its called siddhasana. They just produce some asanas, yantras, ask people to sleep or sit or rest on it. People experience it. The science of creating intense energy fields and making people become enlightened or awakening the non mechanical parts of the brain, is the tradition of siddhas. Siddha Tradition 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZMnFOypXqY 9:30 As I was telling yesterday, the navanadasiddas thats what exactly he did to Idaikadar. He just gave the energy darshan."
"What is the significance of the herb used before giving the energy darshan, and how does it relate to the non-mechanical parts of the brain?","Before giving the energy darshan he gave an herb to him and he kept the herb on the mouth, gave the energy darshan. See actually energy darshan awakens everybodys non mechanical parts of the brain; at least for a second. Its like a diamond shines for a second but unfortunately our old ego is just dumped on it and diamond is covered. With that help of the herb the navanada; he took care that in Idaikadars system the brain does not get closed again. The non mechanical parts of the brain which is awakened becomes alive; kept alive forever. Yesterday one of my swamis were asking me, Swamiji you are talking vidweshanam maranam akarshanam akrushanam from the siddha tradition. It is very dangerous. If people come to know all these things what will happen. I tell them of course, atomic science is dangerous. It can be used for bad and for good. That does not mean we will not discover or make the truth available to the world at all. No. Same way this is like atomic science."
"What is the significance of making the siddha science a living science, and how does it relate to its portability and accessibility to humanity?","It has to be discovered, revived and made available to the world and people should evolve to the level of using this properly; using this with intelligence. But one good thing with this siddha science, by the time you evolve and acquire all those powers you get the intelligence also to handle it. When the real enlightened beings express these powers it directly helps the humanity and serves the society. I wanted the world to know siddha tradition is not just kind of voodoo or something like the placebo effect. No. Its a clear science, portable; anybody can use it. I will make it as a living science, because it is possible. Just through the vibration a particular energy can be stored in guligas and it can be transmitted to any being and they can use it. Its like energy battery."
How can the contributions of siddha tradition be made alive and put into practical use to revive the Cauvery civilization?,"All the contributions of siddha tradition; yoga, rasavada, medicines and techniques for extraordinary powers, kriyas, processes for enlightenment and yantras, mantras, everything, everything has to become alive and come to a practical use, so that the Cauvery civilization remembers what it contributed to the humanity and feels pride about its contribution to humanity and revives itself. **Siddha Tradition Siddhas and their Siddhis** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrKZDxNFfVE Agasthya is the Adi Guru for siddha sampradaya and Subrahmanya is the Lord of siddha sampradaya. Of course the whole thing originates from Shiva; Mahadeva. So this is the way the siddha civilization evolves from Agasthya. Meenakshi was a great siddha; she was a great siddha, adept in siddha and still there are enough records she used to give medicine every day morning. She will sit in the court, her court is not only conducting the official administration of the country; her court was a hospital. People used to come and she will give medicines and herbs."
What are the three levels of siddhis and miracles as per the siddha tradition?,"She was a adept in siddha tradition and fortunately whatever was made available by Chokkanatha siddar and Meenakshi got carved in Madurai temple and whatever was available by Karuvoorar got carved in Tanjore temple, whatever was made available by the Bogar got carved in Palani hills itself. first level miracle; annamaya kosha. Second level siddhis pranamaya kosha; just through breathing a breeze and air, prana, they will play the game. Third is, manomaya kosha miracles. That is what awakening non mechanical parts of the brain. Just through herbs people they will be able to put you into a spiritual experience and you will be there in that ecstasy, joy, forever. That is what is third level siddhis, third level miracles; manomaya kosha miracles, siddhis.."
What is the story that the Master wanted to share with his disciples about Practicing the Presence of God?,"Today I wanted to share few truths about, Practicing the Presence of God. There is a very beautiful story. You all would have read this story in school. There was a Guru and he had ten disciples. There was one chief disciple - very brilliant and highly spiritual. So naturally guru was giving attention to that disciple more. So the jealousy started among other disciples. So all the other disciples wanted to defame, abuse, disrespect this chief disciple, who was getting too much of Masters attention. Somehow they wanted to move him out of Masters attention. Master also observed. He observes everything, even though you think he sits with closed eyes. He observed what goes on - all the absurdity which goes on when he is with closed eyes or when people think he is with closed eyes. One day he wanted to tell, all the disciples, why he is giving more importance to that chief disciple, the sincere disciple. So he called everybody, kept a small test, giving each one of them, one-one banana and telling them, Go and eat in a place where nobody sees you, where you are not observed by anybody."
"What is the story that the chief disciple shares with the Master, and what does it reveal about the nature of spirituality and Enlightenment?","All the fellows ran here and there. One ran behind the kitchen; one ran behind the *sarovar*; one ran outside the gate; one was hiding in the temple godown. They all ate and came back, except this chief disciple. He came back with the banana, without eating it. All the disciples asked, Why. Did you not find any place. He just kept quiet. Master asked, You did not find any place where nobody was observing you. The disciple says very beautifully - its a very small story all of you would have known - Master, I am not able to find any place, where God is not observing me, where God is not seeing me. I feel everywhere his presence. This story was known to all of you as a knowledge; unfortunately, did not become wisdom. This story has multiple layers of meaning and understanding. First thing, there is no shortcut for spirituality. There is no shortcut for Enlightenment. There is no technique for Enlightenment. Technique means shortcut. There is no shortcut. You have to iron out your 24 hours with a clear understanding of practicing the presence of God."
What are the two essential practices to experience the Guru and God in a pure and intense awareness?,"In your body, mind, actions - in everything, that clear, intense awareness has to be imbibed. Second thing; whatever you experienced as God; when you experience me, some will have 30% fear and 30% love, 30% confused emotions. Some will have maybe 50% fear, 40% confused emotions. Some will have 100% fear. Some will have 100% love, no fear. Different ways you will be experiencing the Guru. Whatever you experience as Guru, that's what you, your experience as God; you have no other experience. Whatever may be the experience you have about Guru - whether it is with fear or the attitude of Master and Disciple or the attitude of Father and Son or the attitude of Mother and Son or the attitude of Friend or the attitude of Beloved - practice 24 hours. Two things will happen. One, your action will fall into awareness. Second, that fear - whatever the lower experience you have about the Master - will extinct, will be burnt away. The percentage of fear you experienced with me will be burnt away. The percentage of other emotions except pure Surrender, you experienced with me, will be burnt away."
"What is the only way to establish a genuine guru-disciple relationship, as per the teachings of Swamiji?","This two thing is possible, only by practicing intensely, the presence of Guru - practicing the presence of the Master. When you sit in your office, think, This place is owned by Swamiji; how Swamiji will maintain this office. When you sit and talk to people, If Swamiji is here physically how will I talk. When you do Guru Puja when I am here physically just remember, If he is sitting with open eyes how I will do. Practicing the presence is the only way, is the only way, only way. Your arrogant egoistic logic can go on justifying, No, there is some other technique or you can go on postponing with it. That is what I call hypocritic loopholes. The air hole, air bubble in the copper wire will not allow the copper wire to be a conductor; electricity will never flow. Same way, the hypocrisy between the relationship; when you practice my presence...The hypocrisy you handle - you have it - its like air bubble, will not allow the guru-disciple relationship to happen, will never...The presence will permeate, penetrate you. Practicing the presence with tremendous respect is the only way. That is the only way."
How can one achieve the state of Eternal Bliss as per the teachings of Nithyananda?,"My blessings to all of you to practice the presence of the Guru and God and experience and radiate Enlightenment. Achieve, live and radiate the Eternal Bliss. Nithyananda. Thank you.."
"What is the significance of speaking about prema bhakti, as per the teachings of Ramana Maharishi?","Dear devotees from around the world,Prema Bhakti - The Ultimate Path. As you are all aware I am talking on different dimensions of bhakti for last one week and we have bhakti spurana. I was talking about the sacred sentiments, bhakti from different dimensions and angles. Today I will talk one of the important dimension of bhakti, sacred sentiment; prema bhakti. I have some of the, some sacred sentiments from different great masters; something from Akkamahadevi from Karnataka, something from Narada Bhakti Sutra, something from Baul songs, something from Manikyavasagar from Tamil Nadu. All disciples of Ramana Maharishi again and again pressed him, please talk about the Aksharamanamalai you wrote. He wrote a beautiful song Marital garland of letters Akshramanamalai on Shiva and premabhati and madhura bhava. Again and again people were pestering him - please give meaning for it, you explain. He said there are something if it is spoken, it is degraded; thats all. The very word will make it dirty. Either you should just understand and keep quiet about it or just deny the very existence of it. But if you start speaking verbally the whole joy will be lost; the whole thing will become dirty."
What is the nature of Ramana Maharishi's ecstatic love with Shiva that he avoids talking about it publicly?,"It will be reduced to words which can be given any meaning. So again and again and again Ramana Maharishi avoids talking about his great ecstatic love with Shiva. Then one disciple asks him, if it is so sacred, if it so secret, why did you sing it out. Why did you share it with us. Then Bhagavan says, I did not sing it for public. I sang for Shiva, only few people who were around me, around me were there when I sang. But those few people I felt they are my very extension. They are not different. Just because those few were very my extension only they were around me. I sang to Arunachala. Same way when Manikyavasagar was asked to give meaning for Thiruvasaram he smiled and showed Nataraja, just climbed those steps of the garbha mandir of Chidambaram Nataraja and disappeared into Nataraja. I can understand. Surely you cant reduce it by verbalizing. Its too much; too sacred. Even I cannot verbalize exactly what is that great ecstatic prema bhakti. Maybe I can inspire you all by talking few things about and sharing one or two techniques and definitions; thats all."
What is the correct understanding of the teachings shared in satsang today regarding prema bhakti?,"So I wanted to make it very clear, in satsang today, I am not defining prema bhakti, I am not talking about prema bhakti. I am only giving some techniques for you to achieve prema bhakti. So whatever I am talking should be taken in the sense of inspiration or technique because it is too sacred. Nelada mareya nidhanadante phalada mareya ruchiyante tilata mareya tailadante marata mareya tejitante bhavata mareya brahmanakishta Channamallikarjunanu nilavanaru ariyavaru. Its from Akkamahadevi. Like the treasure hidden in the ground, taste in the fruit, gold in the rock, oil in the seed, the absolute is hidden away in the heart. No one can know the ways of Channamallikarjuna. Akkamahadevi one of the great prema bhakta lived like a child in ecstasy. She sings it is hidden so deeply you cant sing about it, you cant tell about it. Thats a truth. Manikyavasagar very beautifully says Karandabal kannalodu negalandarbola sirandadiyar sindanayul tenuri nindra. Karandabal kannalodu negalandarbola sirandadiyar sindanayul tenuri nindra. Ramakrishna says if you go to a feast, before the food was served there will be lot of talking. When the food is served the noise will come down."
"What is the nature of the sounds you hear when you are in a state of great stress or anxiety, as described by Ramakrishna and exemplified by Akkamahadevi?","You will hear only the noise of asking Eh one more vada, one more laddu, little more rice. Only those few words will be heard. But after few minutes even that will not be heard. Ramakrishna says very beautifully only the sound chup chup chup of food being tasted in the mouth or the sound of the curd in the leaf plate; only that will be heard. I can say these great sacred sentiments, they are neither the noise of gossip, nor the noise of get the laddu, get the jiggery, get the vada. No. It is the noise of chup chup chup. Akkamahadevi has nothing to tell but she has something to sing. It is too much. See if you are too much in stress you may not want to tell anything to anybody, to show that you are weak or stressed but your face will show. You will do something like that, sometime......oh god. Your face will show it. Same way Akkamahadevi doesnt want to tell anything. She cant; it is too much. But same way she cant keep quiet. It is too much inside. She is just singing. She has nothing to tell but lot to sing."
"What is the significance of the poem sung by Andal, and what is the ultimate truth that it conveys?","That is why she is singing nelada mareya nidhanadante phalada mareya ruchiyante tilata mareya tailadante marata mareya tejitante bhavata mareya brahmanakishta channamallikarjunanu nilavanaru ariyavaru. Like the treasure hidden in the ground, taste in the fruit, gold in the rock, oil in the seed, the absolute is hidden away in the heart. No one can know the ways of Channamallikarjuna. She is not telling anything in this. No meaning. Final conclusion of this whole statement is the ultimate is hidden in your heart. Nothing can be told. Arey! tell that in two words. Why do you need a big poem. Because it is too much to be told in two words; you cant do anything. When you are possessed with that experience, anything you do is poetry. Andal every day she will wear the garland which is made for Krishna; Vishnu. One day the father; of course who brought her up, we dont know who is the physical father or the biological father. We only know somebody who brought her up Nammalvar, Periyalvar, Periyalvar. So he caught her."
What is the significance of dressing up and beautifying one's body when one's beloved is going to see them?,"Then all of you may be knowing the story that he made a new garland and took it to Vishnu and Vishnu doesnt want to wear and it fell again and again and he asked get me the garland worn by her. Then he realizes her glory and somebody asks her what do mean by wearing the garland for Krishna. She says very beautifully No, I am wearing it for his pleasure. I am beautifying my body because he is going to see me. He is going to enjoy me. He is going to experience me. No more independent identity. Even the body is offered to him, Krishna; Krishna prasada or naivedya kept for Shri Krishna. That is why Krishna could not feel that is a different body. He said let me wear the garland put on her body; achala murthy and sachala murthy. The statue was achala murthy and Andal was sachala murthy; because there was nothing inside Andal except Krishna. Dressing up because Krishna will see me; this belongs to him. So akkamahadevi has nothing to tell, but she has to tell something. So that she expresses her extraordinary ecstasy."
What is the fundamental difference between possessing bhakti and being possessed by bhakti?,"When you are in bhakti, you dont possess bhakti; bhakti possesses you. Its not like one more thing you will have it in your house. Oh this, this, this, this, this, this objects, I have bhakti also. No. Bhakti will own you. You cant own bhakti. As long as you own bhakti it is not bhakti; its managed bhakti. When bhakti owns you, is real bhakti; prema bhakti. Karandabal kannalodu negalandarbola sirandadiyar sindanayul tenuri nindra piranda pirrapparakum yengal peruman. He sings - just like the milk, sugarcane juice and ghee if all three are added how sweet it will be. Same way you are sweet constantly in the heart of the devotees; just by remembrance, joy and ecstasy such light being; such an ecstatic being. Sometime I go on avoid the subject by smiling. Now thats what I am doing, because the subject is too much. How will you explain the word sirandadiyar sindanayul tenuri nindra. The exact translation means in the heart of the devotees, like a honey you go on oozing out. You cant explain. Either you experience it or just do not know the existence of it."
What is the reason behind so much religious persecution?,"Its like having the eye or not having the eye; thats all. Somebody who doesnt have eye, who is born blind, you go on singing about the glory of colors, Oh how the rainbow looks. First there is a violet, then there is this, then there is a green, then there is a yellow. That fellow will naturally get irritated and start throwing stones at you; persecution. That is why so much religious persecution. And this king with so much of wealth, harem of women and palace and everything they are so deeply depressed and insecure and this beggar fellow, singing in this street, this Gnanasambandar, Appar and Thirunavakarasar, Manikyavasagar, Sundar, all these guys singing in the streets namarkum gudiyallom namanakkum anjomemambo midarpadom; looks making fun of king. That is why that guy gets completely threatened and frightened and puts him in the prison. And in the prison also this guy is not depressed. Sitting there he is singing maasil venayum malai madiyamum veesudendradum mingila venilum moosuvandarai poigayum ondrade eesan endai enayadi neelale kachunai puttiyod kadali paichinum nachunayavada namachivayame. He is not keeping quiet. Sometime singing about bhakti becomes dangerous. Because it is actually, I tell you bhaktas are aliens."
What happens to devotees who experience the awakening of bhakti?,"That is the truth. Bhaktas are aliens. They dont belong to this planet. See it is some non mechanical parts of the brain gets awakened. I tell you once the bhakti gets awakened you cant even talk to common man. I know thousands of our devotees who cant go to any party and who cant talk to anybody else any other subject. All the old relatives, friends, everything has disappeared. Its not that you renounced them; they renounced you because there is nothing in common to talk. What will you do. Instead of talking about the same thing; what about share. What about market. What about your business. How about this sari. Where did you get this jewelry. But here you dont know anything of that. The jewel which you wear is a energy bead from Dhyanapeetam. The sari which you wear is ashram sari; white sari. And all you know about is Swamiji and what is the next program; what was the last program you attended; difficult; not for us for others."
"What is the difference between a king who thinks he rules the whole country and a devotee like Thirunavakarasar who has nothing but a small tool to clean the grass, yet is charismatic and gathers thousands wherever he goes?","Just understand somebody is thinking he is the king of the whole country and ordinary guy Thirunavakarasar, old guy, all he holds, his whole property is one small uruvarapadai, English I dont know the name; just a small tool, not even weapon, tool to clean the grass in the ground. Thats the only job he will do. He will go to all temple and clean the floor and do some service in the temple, sing about Shiva. But this guy is so charismatic and ecstatic; wherever he goes thousands gather. Come on put him in the prison. But again nothing can be done. This guy is sitting there in ecstasy and joy. Bhakti is awakening of the non mechanical parts of your brain. Till the end neither I nor somebody can explain to you the meaning of sirandadiyar sindanayul tenuri nindra. No. I can give you the translation but I cant give you the meaning. Translation says in the heart of the devotees you ooze out like a honey. What do you understand. You understand the word honey, heart of the devotees, oozing out and you try to fix all that and create visualization."
What is the nature of prema bhakti that makes explanation impossible and experience the only possibility?,"There is a heart and like puss usually oozes out from the wound, the honey oozes out from the heart. If really honey oozes out from the heart what do you need, you need a bypass surgery or open heart surgery. How will you describe. How will you explain. It is only the ecstasy which can sing. For prema bhakti explanation is not possible only experience is possible. Maybe how my eyes expand when I utter these words, how my throat chokes when I sing these words, the joy my body language expresses when I recite these verses and the courage my being radiates with these great words, this sacred sentiments; maybe I hope that can transmit this into you. The experience may be transmitted into you. That is the only reason I do go on singing, talking, every morning. Otherwise there is no other way, there is no other reason, why so many words should be used to sing about something which can never be sung, to explain about something which can never be explained. Maybe I will try to define one or two things from the Narada Bhakti Sutras."
What is the experience of Swamiji with the book Narada Bhakti Sutras?,"I have read thousands of books in at least three four languages which I can read and understand. Only one book in my experience does not talk about the subject at all about which the book is supposed to talk. If it is yoga sutra it talks completely about yoga. If it is Brahma sutra it talks completely about Brahma. There is one book, does not talk about the subject which is supposed to be talking which that book is supposed to be talking. That is Narada Bhakti Sutras. The title is bhakti sutras but till the end Narada is not able to touch one inch of bhakti. He goes on beating around the bush because the bush itself cant be beaten. He just stands in this corner and takes a photograph. Oh this looks nice and jumps that corner and takes one more snap, oh this looks nice. But till the end he is not able to create a portrait of the person. Understand no one can create a portrait of bhakti. You may take different snaps from different corners and say that this is the most authentic snap; photograph. No."
What are the essential characteristics of bhakti as described in Naradas Bhakti Sutras?,"Here is a one snap from one corner from Naradas Bhakti Sutras. Naradasthu tatharpathe kilacharath tattismarane paramavyeparamavyakulateti. The essential characteristics of bhakti are the consecration of all activities by complete self surrender to him and extreme anguish if he were to be forgotten. O god. He is describing a deep patience and passion in this one sutra; self surrender and extreme anguish if he were to be forgotten. Complete patience; surrender and intense passion; the seeking, is the essence of prema bhakti. Again I am also beating around the bush because the bush cannot be beaten. It can only be approached from different directions, different sides, different explanations. But experience has to happen by the proper process. Bhakti spurana is the process. Go through the process you will experience real prema bhakti. My blessings to all of you let you all experience and radiate prema bhakti. Let you all experience and radiate enlightenment. Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you.."
"What is the significance of Sacred Sentiments in the context of Bhakthi, as explained by different great masters and Ramana Maharshi?","Prema Bhakthi The Ultimate Path As you are all aware I am talking about different dimensions of Bhakthi. I was talking about the Sacred Sentiments, Bhakthi, from different dimensions and angles. Today we will talk about the important part of Bhakthi: Sacred Sentiments. I have some Sacred Sentiments from different great masters. Something from Akkamahadevi from Karnataka, something from Narada Bhakthi Sutras, something from Baul songs, something from Maanikyavaasagar from Tamil Nadu. All disciples from Ramana Maharshi again & again asked him, Please talk about the Akshara Mana Malai you wrote, meaning the beautiful garland of letters. Again and again people are pestering him, please give meaning for it. About prema bhaava and madhura bhaava. Again & again they asked him to explain. He explained, There are some things, if spoken, it will be degraded. Thats all. The very word will degrade it. Will make it dirty. Either you should just understand and keep quiet or just deny the very existence of it. But if you start speaking the whole joy will be lost, it will become dirty. It will be reduced to words which can be given any meaning."
How do you reconcile the act of sharing sacred and secret spiritual experiences with the limitations of verbalizing the depth of Prema Bhakthi?,"So again and again he avoided talking about his great ecstatic love with Shiva. Then one disciple asked him, If it is so sacred, secret why did you sing it about and share it with us. Ramana Maharshi says - I did not sing for public, I sang for Shiva. Only a few people were around me when I sang it. Those few people I considered were an extension of me, so I sang. Same way, when maanikayavaasagar was asked to give meaning to **Thiruvasagam**, he just smiled and showed Nataraja, just climbed those steps and disappeared into him. I can understand surely it too sacred to verbalize. Surely you cant reduce it by verbalizing. Even I cant verbalize what is the great ecstatic Prema Bhakthi. Maybe I can inspire you all and share a few techniques and definitions, so I want to make it very clear, I am not defining Prema Bhakthi or talking about it. I am only giving you a few techniques to achieve Prema Bhakthi. Thats all."
"What is the significance of the poetess Akkamahadevi's poem and the analogy of the feast, as explained by Ramakrishna?","Another great saint and poetess Akkamahadevi wrote (in Kannada): *Nelada marea Nidhanadhante* *Phalada marea Ruchiyante* *Thilada Marea Thailadhante* *Marada Marea Tejidhante* *Bhavade marea Brahmanagishta* *Chennamakikarjunanu Nilavanaru Ariyavarudu* The meaning is: *Like treasure hidden in ground* *Taste in the fruit* *Gold in the rock* *Oil in the seed* *The absolute is hidden away in the heart* *No one can know the ways of Chennamallikarjuna* Akka Mahadevi is one of the great prema bhakthas, lived like a child in ecstasy. She sings it is hidden so deeply that you cant sing about it. Very true. Ramakrishna says if you go to a feast before the food was served there will be a lot of talking. When the food is served the noise will come down. You will only hear the noise of asking for a little more rice, one more laddu, one more vada. But after a few minutes even that will not be heard. Ramakrishna says only the chop chop chop of food being chewed and tasted in the mouth. Or the leaf on the plate only that will be heard."
"What is the significance of Akkamahadevi's song, which is neither gossip nor a request for prasad, but rather a natural expression of the heart's overflowing emotions?","I can say these great Sacred Sentiments, they are neither the noise of gossip, nor the noise of get the ladu, It is the noise of that chewing - chop chop chop. Akkamahadevi had nothing to tell but she has something to sing. It is too much. See if you are too much in stress you dont want to tell, but your face will tell, will show it. Same way Akkamahadevi doesnt want to tell anything. She cant, it is too much. But same way she cant keep quiet it is too much inside. She is just singing she has nothing to tell but lots to sing. (He repeats the song then translates) *Like treasure hidden in ground* *Taste in the fruit* *Gold in the rock* *Oil in the seed* *The absolute is hidden away in the heart* *No one can know the ways of Chennamallikarjuna* She is not telling anything in this, there is no sense, no meaning. The only thing she is telling finally is that the ultimate is hidden in your heart. There is nothing else to tell. Then why not tell that in two words, why tell it in such a big poem."
What is the significance of Aandaal's experience of wearing the garland for Vishnu's pleasure?,"You cannot tell it simply because it is too much. When you are possessed with that experience, anything you do is poetry. Aandaal as you all know the story everyday she will wear the garland made for Vishnu. One day the father of course who brought her up we dont know who is the physical father, biological father, we only know Periyaalvaar who brought her up - he caught her wearing the garland. So he made a new garland for Vishnu and took it and put it on him, but it fell off, over and over it fell off. Vishnu does not want that garland. He wanted only the garland that she was wearing. Somebody asks her what do you mean by wearing the garland meant for Vishnu or Krishna. She says no, I am wearing it for his pleasure. I am beautifying my body for him because he is going to see me, enjoy me, experience me. She has no difference, no more independent existence. Even her body is offered to him as Krishna prasadam, naivedyam offered to Krishna. Achala murthy was the statue and Aandaal was sachala murthy. Because there was nothing inside aandaal but Krishna."
"How does the concept of bhakthi manifest in the lives of devotees, as exemplified by the stories of Krishna and Akka Mahadevi?","Thats why Krishna couldnt feel it was a separate body. Let me wear the garland that was on her body. So Akka Mahadevi has nothing to tell but she has to tell something so that she expresses her extraordinary ecstasy. When you are in bhakthi you dont possess bhakthi bhakthi possesses you. It is not like one more thing you have in your house I have one more thing called Bhakthi. Bhakthi owns you not you own it. When you own it it is managed bhakthi. When bhakthi owns you it is real bhakthi, prema bhakthi. She sings just like the milk, sugar cane juice, and ghee. If all 3 are added how sweet it will be. Same way the sweetness happens constantly in the hearts of my devotees when they remember me. The joy and ecstasy, such light being, such an ecstatic being you will have. Sometime I go on avoid the subject by smiling. Thats what Im doing because the subject is too much. How do you explain this tamil verse in the heart of the devotee like honey you go on oozing out."
Why is it that some people get irritated when you try to explain the existence of something they have not experienced?,"You cant explain, either you experience it or you just do not know the existence of it. It is like having the eye or not having the eye. Thats all. It is like being born blind and singing the glory of a rainbow to the born blind man, Oh, there is violet, then blue, there is green and yellow. What will happen. That blind person will get irritated with you and throw stones at you. Thats why so much religious persecution. A King with so much sufferings will be unhappy. But there are beggars singing in the street with nothing in hand (quotes a tamil poem). That guy is not keeping quiet. It looks like making fun of king so king gets threatened and put him in prison. What to do you have to be in prison for 52 days. And in prison this guy is not depressed, sitting there also hes singing (Sang a song in Tamil, while the crowd laughed and clapped) Hes not keeping quiet. Sometime singing about Bhakthi becomes dangerous. Because it is actually, I tell you bhaktas are aliens, they dont belong to this planet. See it is some non-mechanical parts of brain get awakened."
"What happens when Bhakthi gets awakened in a devotee, making it difficult for them to relate to common people in their daily conversations?","I tell you once Bhakthi gets awakened, you cant even talk to the common man. I have devotees who cant go to parties and talk about anything else. Nothing in common to talk. What will you do. People want to talk about shares, stocks, sarees, jewellery. But here the jewellery you wear is energy bead, saree you wear is normal white ashram sari, and all you know about is Swamiji and his programs what his last program was and when his next program is. Thats all. It is difficult, not for you for others. It is not like you renounce them. It is like they renounce you. Just understand, somebody hes thinking hes the king of whole country. But an ordinary old guy, Thirunavukkarasar, who has no property and goes to temples - all he holds is one small tool to clean the grass, ground, thats the only job hell do is clean the floor in the temple, do some service and sing about Shiva. But this guy is so charismatic and ecstatic. Wherever he goes thousands gather. Kings cant tolerate somebody gathering thousands because even by paying they cant gather thousands."
"What is the difference between a person who is speaking and thousands are gathering to listen, and one who is in ecstasy and joy even in prison?","And here is somebody, some young guy, talking something and thousands are gathering and paying money also. Too much. Come on put him in prison. But even there nothing can be done he is sitting there also in ecstasy, joy. Bhakthi is awakening of the non-mechanical parts of brain. Till the end neither I nor somebody can explain to you the meaning of these verses. I can just translate them and say - till the end you ooze out like honey from the heart. What can you understand. Honey, heart, try to create a visualization. If really honey oozes from heart you need bypass surgery. Or open heart. How will you explain. It is only the ecstasy which can sing. For Prema Bhakthi explanation is not possible, only experience is possible. Maybe how my eyes expand when I utter these words. How my throat chokes when I sing these verses, the joy my body expresses, and the courage my being radiates with this great words, these Sacred Sentiments, maybe that experience be transmitted to you. Maybe I hope that I can transmit this into you. That is the only reason I go on singing, talking every morning."
What is the reason behind using many words to describe something that cannot be explained or sung?,"Otherwise there is no other way or reason why so many words should be used to sing about something that can never be sung, never be explained. Maybe Ill try to define one or two things from the Narada Bhakthi Sutras. I read 1000s of books in 3-4 languages, only one book in my experience does not talk about the subject at all about which the book is supposed to talk. Yoga Sutras talk about Yoga, Brahmasutras talks about Brahma. But this one Narada Bhakthi sutras does not speak about Bhakthi. Until the end he goes on beating around the bush because the bush itself cant be beaten. It is like he stands and takes photo from this corner and that but till the end cant create a portrait of the person. Understand no one can create portrait of Bhakthi. Can take many photos and say this is best. Here is one snap from one corner from Narada Bhakthi Sutras: The essential characteristics of Bhakthi are the consecration of all activities by complete self surrender to him and extreme anguish if he were to be forgotten. Oh God."
"What is the essence of the Bhakthi Spurana program, BSP, in relation to the concept of complete patience and passion?","He is describing the deep patience and passion complete self surrender and extreme anguish if he were to be forgotten. Complete patience surrender an intense passion seeking is the essence of this sutra. Again I am also beating around the bush because the bush cannot be beaten. It can only be different sides, directions, different explanations. But experience has to happen. The Bhakthi Spurana program, BSP is a real way to experience this. It can give you this experience. Blessings.."
What are the new initiatives and services that will be extended to Tiruvannamalai and other parts of the world starting from January 1st?,"Starting from January 1st, this whole year, we will give free education and one free meal a day to 1 lakh students. We have started this scheme and we are extending these services to Tiruvannamalai. As of now, we are having 50 to 100 students per school, we will expand in future. As on now, we are serving 10,000 square meals a day all over the world including Tiruvannamalai. It will double this year. Currently we are catering to 10,000 people through weekly medical camps. We will make it 40,000 soon. We have the support of hospitals like KG hospital in Coimbatore who we have tied up with for doing free heart surgeries, angiogram, angioplasty. We have started collecting patients for the same. The patients will be diagnosed in our camps and sent to the hospitals for free treatment. We will contribute to about 40% of the cost and the hospital will bear the rest or some plan we will work out. We have about 7 to 8 hospitals tied up with us."
What is the reason behind the high rate of depression and psychological diseases in Tamil Nadu?,"We also offer free education in paramedical, nursing, arts and sciences and engineering courses for students who dont have either of the two parents (upon certificate verification) or those who are below poverty line (enquiry based). 10 to 15 colleges are supporting us in this cause. We can offer seats to 100 students immediately via this scheme. More also possible. Subsidy is supported from Dhyanapeetam side for this scheme. 6000 youth commit suicide in Tamilnadu alone every year. Depression rate is very high in Tamil Nadu. Liquor consumption in Tamil Nadu is very high. The Press has released that 70 crore rupee worth liquor was consumed in Tamil Nadu alone for New Years. 1 in every 3 youth In Tamil Nadu commit suicide due to depression. Psychological diseases are on the rise in Tamil Nadu. The fundamental reason for all this, the belief we have acquired over the past 20 to 30 years that without spiritual strength, living a disciplined and moral life alone is enough. So we have been stuffed with just rules to live, with no way for stress relief or grievance sharing. HIV Namakkal is 2nd in the whole world."
"What is the root cause of the problems faced by the youth in India, according to you?","In the year 2008 alone, we touched 10 lac youth through free meditation. This year, we will touch 25 lac youth. You first organize for your department and we will do it. You all are continuously taking in negative news like who killed who, who blasted what etc. In India, in all psychological diseases and suicide, the leading cause is the police department and second is the journalists. We have to attend to the mental health area. Today, 617 to 620 districts are in the control of Naxalites. The problem is, we dont teach the youth the reasons why one should be disciplined and moral. We should teach them about stable family, life style, dharma, good, bad etc. Instead, we throw all the reasons out and force a set of rules on them. So they fall into depression and resort to addiction, suicide or terrorist activities. The solution is, to tell them the clear reasons, why they should be disciplined. Today, we completely disrespect the stable family concept of one husband to one wife. In USA, 49% of the people die with no one to take care of their body after their death."
What are the primary reasons for the high suicide rate in Tamil Nadu?,"So money is paid to the insurance companies who burn the bodies. In USA and Europe, 5% of the people take psychiatry medicines to sleep well. In India, the suicide rate is less than 1%. In Tamil Nadu, suicide rate is 6%. The reason for this is blind rules. IF there is no spirituality infused into youth, there will be no sense of responsibility to take on marriage with seriousness. They will indulge only in puppy love. Second, they wont be able to take lifes pressures which is why they develop things like exam fears. These are the two primary reasons for the suicide rate in Tamil Nadu. The stable family concept is enough. If we teach this to youth, they will then think before making the decision on marriage. They will wait till 25 to make it. Then there will be no terrorism, no depression, no puppy love, they will study when they have to study and wait till 25 to take the decision on marriage. We do the Venkateshwarar Tirukalyanam where we call people together for the temple function and then teach them stable family concept. If you say just satsang, they won't come. So we do this."
What is the root cause of caste and religion based problems in society?,"If they understand this, then there will be no imbalance, no loneliness in their lives, come what may. So highlight this stable family concept. All caste and religion based problems are created by youth from unstable families. They dont have the responsibility of a child, of a wife, so they take the knife. Man's basic instinct is to show himself as a hero. In ancient years, man built temples or institutions to project himself as a hero. Today he wields the knife and becomes a hero. People don't feel they need to contribute anything to society. This whole year I am dedicating to stable family concept. We are doing the BG satsang in various places in Tamil Nadu. Many day to day problems will disappear if the stable family concept is taught. Any religious fanaticism if you see, it will comprise people from unstable families. Catch the first 25 people in it and check, they will be from unstable families. There is no point in blaming the government. There is totally 40,000 villages, and only 12,000 police stations. Stable family is the only way out. It is our very culture."
"What is the root cause of the increasing divorce rate in metros, as per your observation?","In the last 25 years, we have toppled over our very anchor point. That is why if you see, in the last 5 years alone, in metros, there is a 33% divorce rate. One Bengaluru person gave me a report to this effect. This is a major societal problem for which the only solution is stable family. Womens liberation means not opposing everything that men do like saying, They are smoking, so we will also smoke, they are drinking, we will also drink... but becoming intelligent with ***self esteem*** not sure of this word. The problem is, we have wrong models and wrong presentations today. Secularism means, taking the good from all religions and living it. But we disregard everything in all religions. So conveniently, we don't have to bother about anything. The problem is, we dont have trust amongst us. Earlier, in villages, Hindus, Muslims and Christians were not enemies. I did the pad yatra recently in villages. The reason is, I am sensing enemity even in villages. I was brought up here in this village. Every day in the morning, we used to get up and see each other as good friends, go to each others houses etc."
What is the benefit of living together in villages and promoting the stable family concept?,"At least in the city, leave it, but in the villages, let us be together day to day. It is good for society. For the past 5 to 6 years, at the village level, there is so much hatred. There is no need for so much distrust. Take the small religious leaders in villages and teach them stable family concept. Will a guy from a stable family bomb himself and die. Stable family concept is good for the country. So cinema, journalism. Take this and promote it. Our services we offer: with 90% subsidy, we offer Nithyananda Vidyalaya. They will be highly educated with moral values, computer education etc. Currently we have around 50 students per school. We have 30 schools running. English medium, State board. We teach them life civic sense, moral values, no smoking, no drinking. We offer the Nithyananda Lakshmi scheme a no profit micro financing scheme. We have 0.5% profit which we use to create borewells, bathrooms etc for the villages. It is like a self help group system. We dont take a paise from it. There are 500 teams working now in Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Andhra and Pondicherry."
"What is the root cause of the current societal problems in Tamilnadu, according to the teachings of SFC?","We have direct healing through phone consulting and make over 500 calls a day. Indian marriages are the oldest institutions. The word mangalyam is used even by Christians. We didnt show stable family concept as heroism. We showed it as olden day concept. There is too much fantasy today amongst youth. They take the ear from one person, eye from one person... girls have fantasies about the guy being a software engineer etc. Premarriage fantasies. Watching television is not wrong but making it a part of your life is what is wrong. The one who spreads information is the one who guides the people. Tamilnadu will disappear if this continues. When you are with your family, with your mom and dad, you can't drink, smoke etc...you can do but you can't completely derail. Grandparents will keep the grandchildren going, the grandchildren will keep the grandparents out of depression. Let us attack the root of the problem. SFC is the only way. ***Why not you start a political party?*** Let us see who wins. Reason for no depth in trust amongst men is unstable family. All religions are sacred sentiments. They are pure and divine. Puranas are sacred sentiments."
What is the problem when we follow our own religion and keep quiet about others' religions?,"But we don't just follow our own and keep quiet we oppose others' religions, that is the problem. We shud become agents for our own religion and also not oppose others' religions. Through business, we cant control the country beyond a certain point but... missed a few things...."
"What are the three levels of trust or faith that happen in a human being, and how do they manifest in one's actions?","Today we will understand the truth, the deeper level truths about seva. The consciousness out of which the action happens decides the purity of seva. There are three levels of trust or faith happens in human being. First having faith because no other go. Like you try so many medicine systems like siddha, Ayurveda, homeopathy but the disease is not cured. Then you take up allopathy and you have to believe only allopathy because no other way. You believe that doctor, you believe that method, you go through the whole method, you go through the chemotherapy, or radiation, whatever; because no other method, no other go, no other way. I am giving you the example of one person having cancer. He tried all other methods, no other go, he has to believe in allopathy. He goes through the allopathy system because of his faith but not higher level faith, very low level; no other, faith happens because of no other way. Nothing else can be done. Thats the first level, one kind of a faith. Then the next level, the faith happens because it works."
"What is the difference between the first level of trust, the second level of trust, and the third level of trust in the context of spiritual healing and devotion?","For example, many people come to our healing, come to Me for healing with the first level, no other go. But they move to the second level because it starts working. The faith which gets developed into your system because it works. They come to try but when the healing starts working, heals them and they see their body and mind is becoming better, then the second level trust happens; because it works. The trust or faith which happens because it works is the second level - you can say practical trust. The first one was blind trust, no other go, no other option - blind trust, unconscious trust. The second one is practical trust because it works, trust, faith. The third one, just because it is there trust happens to you. What Gopikas had towards Krishna. Just because it is there, simply your heart flows. You admire, you just fall for it. You just flow with it. You just melt with it. Here this is called raga Bhakti3:56; melting just because it is there; nothing else. Here it is neither blind faith nor the practical faith; just pure flow of bhakti, love."
"What is the nature of devotion that Gopikas had towards Krishna, and how does it relate to the intense presence of Krishna?","Just because it is there, you are just flowing with it. What for Gopikas had that deep bhakti, devotion, trust on Krishna, nobody knows. No reason. Just because Krishna is there Gopikas have to fall, no other way. By the very intense presence, by the very intense existence, Krishna commands devotion. No other way. No other go, no other reason. Because he is there, you have to fall. No way. Because Himalayas is there you have to look up. No other way. You cannot look the Himalayas down. You cannot put your head down and try to see Himalayas. No. If you want to see Himalayas you have to raise your head up. And your head has to be up only then you can see the Himalayas. Same way because he is there, your consciousness has to look up to see his glory, to see his grandeur. And you have to fall for it, no other way. By very nature you are inbuilt to fall for something extraordinary. Krishna is an extraordinary phenomenon happened in the body. So all Gopikas have to just relax. Have to just surrender, no other way. This, this is the highest form of devotion."
"What are the differences between blind faith, practical faith, and extraordinary devotion in the context of seva?","Blind faith, practical faith and extraordinary devotion. When seva happens out of blind faith it is fear. Any work done out of blind faith - fear. Any work done out of practical devotion - greed. Any work done out of extraordinary raga bhakti is seva. Understand I had too many idiots gathering around Me and trying to serve me out of blind faith. I just wanted to shake. I did not even shake. One greatness about the unconsciousness is it kills itself. It is so unconscious it commits suicide. Now I saw all the unconscious fellows, how much ever they tried to harm Me, they only hurt themselves. Nothing else has happened. The final result is they hurt or they continue to hurt themselves or they are hurting themselves thats all. Nothing else. Blind faith is such, any action happens out of it does harm to the person himself. Second, practical faith; any action done out of greed. Of course when it is done as long as it goes OK, but when it is broken it does not harm the person and the society."
"What is the difference between actions done out of blind faith, practical faith, and extraordinary devotion raga bhakti, para bhakti?","But the action done out of extraordinary devotion raga bhakti, para bhakti even if it is a small action is seva. That is seva. I tell you when a person does seva it does good to him and to the world. Any action done out of blind faith does bad to the society and to him. Any action done out of practical faith - greed, neither does good nor does bad, just neutral and it is disconnected, disconnected, over; does not do bad to society or to him. Its more like a business. Action done out of extraordinary devotion, you just fell because he is there, nothing can be done. Helpless, neither you can help, nor he can help. Because he is there, you have to fall, as a rule, as a very nature. Action done out of that high raga bhakti, highest form of devotion does good to society and to you. Understand. I have seen many people moving from blind faith to practical faith then to raga bhakti. I saw too many people who are not able to or dont want to move from blind faith to practical faith and practical faith to raga bhakti."
What is the consequence of a sampradaya being built on blind faith rather than raga bhakti?,"So what to do. Too much of crowd stuck in blind faith will create a wrong tradition. I wanted to retain the purity of the Nithyananda Sampradaya; whether it is in the form or level of devotees or in the level of organizers or in the level of acharyas or in the level of ashramites or in the level of brahmacharies or in the level of sanyasis. I wanted to retain the purity of Nithyananda Sampradaya. I wanted only the people of raga bhakti to create a base for Nithyananda Sampradaya. Any sampradaya stands and serves the society not because of the number of people they have but because of the number of people they have in raga bhakti - the highest devotion. All organization built on blind faith people, are political organization. The fellow who is sitting on the throne is constantly under threat because every fellow is pushing him. He is not surrounded by crowd, he is surrounded by people who are trying to catch his seat. He thinks he is surrounded by crowd, he doesnt know why they are around him. They are just trying to kick him out to catch the seat."
"What kind of people gather around a spiritual leader who is not surrounded by crowd, but his seat is?","He is not surrounded by crowd, his seat is surrounded by crowd. People who work out of the practical faith, they create social organizations; social service organizations. Again, he is also surrounded by the same kind of people who are waiting for his name and fame. They may not be just that cut throat level people but if he gets up they will catch it. Or they will create a situation where he may want to get up; very subtle way. He is also under threat. Social service organizations, the leaders of the social service organizations are always under threat. Because the people around him are greed based, practical faith. So any action they do will be naturally greed based. Any moment they will create situation where this guy can get out of the seat and they can occupy the seat. I saw too many blind faith people and practical faith people have started gathering around Me. Only people who work out of pure devotion, raga bhakti they themselves do not know why they fell for him, why they have so much devotion for him, why they are not able to forget him - just they do not know."
What is the difference between the logic of rishis and the love of Gopis for Krishna?,"All they know is they are His, He is Ours, thats all. Gopis have no logic. Why they have such deep love for Krishna. If you ask rishis they will give you the logic. If you ask Vyasa he will give you logic. But if you ask Gopikas they do not have reason. They do not have logic. Just all they know is they are His, He is ours, raga bhakti. Action done out of raga bhakti only will be service, seva. Only people who act out of raga bhakti can create a base for spiritual tradition. I saw what is happening around Me and it is time to purify the sampradaya - create raga bhakti base for sampradaya, create the base of raga maya - the pure bhakti base. The moment that intention, or satya sankalpa happened, I saw the whole thing just happened. Now we have people, we have beings who are established in raga bhakti, who are in pure devotion who can really do seva. Neither Me nor the sangha or the world is curtained by their consciousness or their action. Only good will happen to the world and to them, any action done by them."
What is the next level of faith that one must move to in order to do seva that benefits both oneself and the world?,"So I tell you, if you are in any level - blind faith or practical faith - move the next level raga bhakti. Only then you can do seva which will do good to you and to the world. The consciousness out of which action is done has to be purified first. Then youll see seva becomes science of enlightenment. And I tell you, even if you do one action, just one action out of pure devotion, raga bhakti that will create such a joy and energy in you, it will penetrate your whole body. All your actions will have the smell of raga bhakti. That is what I call living enlightenment. Acting out of raga bhakti and imbibing that raga bhakti in your bio-memory is living enlightenment. That is ultimate service. So I bless you all. Let you all move to raga bhakti, ragamaya and live and radiate enlightenment. Let you all achieve and radiate the eternal bliss, nithyananda. Thank You."
"What is the underlying reason for our deep craving for suffering, as explained by Sutra Patanjali?","In today's Sutra Patanjali explains, the great truth about our deep craving for suffering. Please understand, constantly we crave for sufferings. So many reasons, one: when suffering happens to you, you get lot of attention from others. Many kids fall sick just to get mother's attention. Otherwise mother is too busy. By and by your unconsciousness learns the habit, if you fall sick you will have attention. The next step is, not only to get others attention, even to get your own attention you fall sick. You think if you don't fall sick you are not attending yourself, you are too busy, and society demands you to attend too many things. Body and mind says, """"No, fall sick, that is the best thing."""" Falling sick is almost kind of a holding, so that you will give attention to yourself. And unfortunately by and by mind learns this technique and permanently falls sick; makes yourself handicapped. That is what is some inferiority complex about your body structure. Some inferiority complex about your mental structure. Some inferiority about you- whether you are beautiful or not. Some inferiority about which you don't have, can never have."
"What is the reason behind people giving attention to themselves, and how does it relate to the idea of inferiority and suffering?","This idea of some inferiority which you don't, can never have become such a strong sickness. You go on giving attention to you just because of this one reason. Suffering gives you a kind of a heaviness, shape, identity, feeling of existence, boundary. Joy always gives you the boundary-less feeling. You can see, people who are levitating, the first thing I see in them is the joy in their face. Extraordinary joy and the laughter. Just yesterday, one devotee from Bangalore came and told Me, """"Swamiji, I saw that three-minute video and tried and broke my back."""" I said don't try. She was trying to jump, it's not that she is heavy, she is medium weight only; but try to jump it seems and nothing worked and the more she tried and she only fell and broke the back. Means joy permeates your backbone, permeates your bio-memory. You become first psychologically light and physically light. As I was telling this is the science, under every hair pore there is an airbag, which can hold the subtlest form of Prana; which is Samana. When the airbags get filled like a balloon body starts floating."
"What happens when the airbag gets filled, and how does it relate to working out and the state of Samana?","The first thing will happen when the airbag gets filled is joy. Even when you work out physically, if you bring joyful memories that airbag will get filled. Never have violent memories, violent thoughts when you work out. When you move your body and put weight on your body, start working out; don't have violent thoughts. Let it be more romantic and pleasant. Have photographs of the people or memory of the people who create romance and pleasant feeling in you, not violent, aggressive. If you have that pleasantness, romance, the Samana will get filled. The unconscious hanging, unconscious craving for pain is one of the worst engram with which humanity is suffering. Somehow the hypocrisy based society always has a deep craving for pain. See, Krishna was worshipped in all Enlightenment based parts of Indian society. Indian society has two major parts, the Enlightenment based part and hypocrisy based part. That's what they call morality. The social morality, you see. Understand, the social understanding of morality is just hypocrisy, it's not morality. It's like a weapon used to pull somebody when you don't have any other weapon, any other way."
"What is the hypocrisy in the way society worships Krishna, and how does it relate to the concept of Enlightenment?","Like this says society, civilization that part of India worships Krishna. But for Enlightenment you cannot feel attracted to Krishna. And this hypocrisy...hypocrisy based civilization; they go on worshipping suffering. The Krishna's Consciousness, such an extraordinary joy. I wanted you to know some of the details. Krishna lived with gopikas only till the age of 11, 11 years only. Afterwards He was out, but always Krishna is portrayed with gopikas. As if He spent His whole life with gopikas. Because He is symbol of joy. Same way, He lost and ran away from one war and got killed by a hunter. Can you- I think many of you may not even know this story. Krishna was murdered, He was killed by a hunter, with poison arrow. You would have never even heard this story. You will never see a photograph or a statue of Krishna being killed. Because He is representation of joy and you will always see Krishna victoriously standing and giving Vishwaroopa Darshan to Arjuna or winning the Mahabharata war. You do not know, 17-time He was defeated by Jarasandha. 17-time, Jarasandha came back as Gajini Muhammad and destroyed Dwarka and Somnath."
"What is the significance of the fact that Krishna's running away from the war field is not represented in his history, and how does it relate to the embodiment of joy and the inner space?","Jarasandha and Krishna ran away from the war field. Ranki chhod Rai, they call in Gujarat, Ranki chhod Rai; ran away from the warfield. But nowhere it will be represented because He is embodiment of joy. Even running away was such a romantic experience for Him. No where the pain is painted. Because the pain was never painted in His inner space it was- it could never be painted in His biography, in His history. Unless something gets painted in your inner space it can never be painted in your history. If something is painted in your history, how much you try to change, it will be painted in the biography. In your inner space anything is painted will come out in biography; in history. Because the incidence shows. Krishna lived only till the age of 11 with gopikas. And you will be surprised, the love affair between Radha and Krishna was only one and half years. Really, only totally one and half years of love affair only is recorded. The romance was only one and half years. Before they were kids and they did not have chance to spend time together."
"What is the difference in the portrayal of separation between Radha and Krishna, and Sita and Rama in Hindu mythology?","They spend time together only one and half years. But if you see, they are shown as a eternally together. Anywhere you see Radha will be there. Where Krishna is there Radha will be there. Whether it is a temple or painting or statue or anything. But one funny thing, Sita was away from Rama only six months, only six months. But always the Ramayana is painted, painted, portrayed as if they suffered a long separation. Chronologically, it is just six months. 13 and a half years they had a such a funny, romantic life in forest. Really, 14 years of forest life, 13 and a half years they had a very grateful- great, sorry, very graceful and great romantic life. 13 and a half years because they were living with seven Rishis. Only the seven of them know Rama is Incarnation. Nobody else knows He is an Incarnation. So He was taken care by seven people who knows He is an Incarnation. He had a great fun, only six months chronologically they were separate. But the six month series shown as three Kandas: Aranya Kanda, Sundara Kanda, Yuddha Kanda. Three Kandas for six months."
"What is the idea that the romance between Krishna and Radha represents, and how does it relate to the concept of joy and the withering away of one's Will?","Here, it's only one and half years of romance and it is shown as a whole life. So the idea they represent. Krishna represents the joy and ability to shed all the sufferings. I tell you, joy is the only way where the way to wither away your Will. Will, your Will can never wither away by pain. With more pain your Will will become more stronger on you. With joy it will just wither away. It will just be an ecstasy. I tell you My whole wandering was such an ecstasy, Will got withered away. There was no Will. It was such a joy, the Will got withered away. There was no Will, that is why the Parivrajaka was possible, Parivrajaka was possible. Parivrajaka happened because of the joy, the Will got withered away. Patanjali gives us an understanding about pain. And how to go beyond pain, so that the Will can wither away. See, understand, this is the highest clarity. Will withering away, your will withering away. Like a leaf falling from the tree, Will just falling from your body. Let's enter into the Sutra: duhkha-anusayi dvesah."
"What is the meaning of aversion, as per the translations of various scholars, and how does it relate to the teachings of Patanjali?","I will give you the translation of Swami Vivekananda: aversion is that which dwells on pain. Swami Dvivedi translates as: that which dwells on pain is aversion- aversion. Purohit translates as: aversion is recalling from pain. Satchitananda translates as: averse...aversion is that, which follows the identification with pain...painful experiences. Every Sutra I read of Patanjali, I understand His extraordinary genius, intelligence. As I said, each Sutra is one skyscraper of Indian internal infrastructure. If I am given the chance I will name at least one Indian city in the name of Patanjali, who contributed so much. Patanjali, Swatmarama, Gorakhnatha, Matsyendranatha all of them should be honored. At least some cities should be named after them. Matsyendranatha and Gorakhnatha are the predecessors of Swatmarama, on whose Sutras everyday we are working. Patanjali, the Hatha Yoga Sutras, every day morning process we are doing is...is Sutra. Today what we did, the four type of process: the Kumbhaka, antar, bahir and Sankalpa. That is from Swatmarama, the basic principle. The Sutra says duhkha-anusayi dvesah, duhkha-anusayi dvesah. The word anusayi is translated by Shearer as clinging, Taimni as repulsion. That is the power of that word."
"What is the significance of the word anusayi in the context of the Sutra, and how does it relate to responding to pain?","Understand, anusayi is translated by one translator as clinging, the other translator as recoiling. But both makes meaning, that is the fun of- that is the beauty of Sanskrit. Whether you cling or recoil, I can translate that word anusayi as responding. It's like a, when you have the staring fight, stare don't blink. The moment you blink your...you lost. Same way when you face pain, don't blink, don't respond. Responding is anusayi. This is a very critical word in this Sutra. Duhkha is dwelling upon pain or clinging to pain, or recoiling from pain. That center word anusayi is translated as clinging or recoiling. But both will make meaning. If you respond you are caught. When it comes to the question of pain don't respond. Whenever people bring their problems to Me, if it is out of pain, I just postpone. Nothing else is needed, just postpone. It will become alright. But the ego is such it will say, """"No, even if you postpone it is not going to go now."""" Then I tell them, suffer. What to do. Do not try to find solution when suffering is there. Don't blink, don't respond."
What happens when you use intellectual ideas to escape suffering?,"Any response you give when suffering is there will be a weapon; you lost. Understand, you would have created some strong intellectual ideas to get you out of suffering. But when the pain is actually present in your inner-space, don't use them. Don't use those weapons, because even if you use the pain won't go. You will lose confidence over the power of the weapon. And what has actually happened you know you lost the weapon also, that's all. Not only the pain won't go, you lost the weapon also. The only way you need- only thing you need to do during the pain is don't blink. What can be done, it is there. Don't try to solve, don't try to cling, don't try to recoil. Recoiling or holding both are going to create trouble, both are going to create trouble. Many times I see, how for no reason people suffer. Just for no reason people suffer. Say, oh God what an unconscious foolish mind, which attracts so much suffering for no reason, just no reason. Very funny mental setup. Another one worst thing is, all your effort to recoil will hold. Holding will create more."
What is the meaning of the word 'anusayi' according to the science of shadow?,"The word, """"anusayi"""" is a powerful word. I can say the exact meaning of the word anusayi is shadow. Shadow is neither holding nor recoiling. The science of shadow is if you go on in your life that will follow you. If you try to catch you will never be able to catch. If you carry with your life, pain will be your slave. If you try to hold or respond, correct, alter; try to bury your shadow. Nothing can be done. Surya, Sun God has two wives. Wife means feminine energy, his expression. One, Usha- is light, radiance. Another one Chhaya, the shadow. Two are His wives, his energies. The Usha has a positive existence. Chhaya has only negative existence. Understand all of you need to know the Yama Dharma and Shani, both of them are Chhaya's daughters...uh kids. Lord of death, Yama Dharma and Shanishwara, lord of suffering; both of them are Chhaya's sons. It means what they do not have positive existence. They are like shadow. Death and suffering has no existence, its a shadow. All you need is don't blink, that's all. Don't respond, whatever response you make, you are in trouble."
"What happens when you respond to pain, hatred or aversion, and how does it relate to the concepts of Shani and Yama?","Shani and Yama, both concepts if you don't blink they will become auspicious to you. The moment you blink, over Anusayi, response to your pain, hatred or aversion is response to your pain. Any response it can be. The moment you respond it is hatred. Whether you want it or don't want it. Any response you do for pain is going to be hatred. See if you want pain then it is hatred, suffering. If you don't want, again this hatred, suffering. So you are in a big soup. So not responding is the best way to handle pain, to handle suffering. There is one more beautiful Sutra, continuity of this sutra. If you understand that also, then we will be able to have the process done. svarasa vahi vidusah apitatha rudha abhinivesah || Vivekananda translates as abiding in its own nature due to the past experience of death and established even in the learned is the clinging to life. Fear of death is a spontaneous feeling deeply rooted in us all, no matter how learned we may be. This is the translation of Shira."
"How does Patanjali explain suffering and death in the Yoga Sutras, and what is the solution to the constant search for security that arises from it?","Prabhavananda translates as the desire to cling to life is inherent, both in the ignorant and in the learned. This is because the mind retains impression of death experience from many previous Incarnations. The strong desire for life is seen even in the learned and ever sustained by its own force is attachment, Dvivedi says. Satchidananda translates as clinging to life, following by its own potency due to past experience; exist even in the vice. As I said, Patanjali tries to explain the suffering and death in these two Sutras, two sons of shadow - Surya's wives...Surya's wife. For suffering, Shani, He gives from one Sutra. For Yama, He gives one Sutra. The next Sutra is on Yama. If you understand both, the solution is there. He says in the next Sutra: because your mind records your past death experiences and the pain happens during those death experiences; clinging to life; which I was talking yesterday - the attachment, the constant search for security happens in you. What is the way then. At least once if you go through the death consciously, means without creating pain engram in you."
"What is the outcome when one experiences the true essence of the teachings, as opposed to merely learning them intellectually?","Suddenly you will see you are released not only from death fear, the continuous insecurity and necessity for security, attachment. That whole engram will disappear, the whole thing will be destroyed. When He says even in the learned the fear continues to exist. I know one Swami, who has mastered Katho Upanishad, means the science of death. 35 years he has studied but I really feel sympathy towards him, when I remember him now. He has not experienced death. One NSP will do so much good for him, but his ego will not allow him. I Myself learned Katho Upanishad from him, one NSP can just make whatever he learnt as a science...as an experience for him. Because it has not become experience, the moment I remember this Sloka, even learned, has cling...clinging to a life, attachment life; I remember him only. Shankara says in Bhaja Govindam, very beautifully,""""Nahi nahi rakshati dukrumkarane,"""" means the learning, knowledge, grammar will not protect you when Yama comes. Bhaja Govindam, Bhaja Govindam Govindam Bhaja Moodamathe Sampraapte sannihite kaale Nahi nahi rakshati dukrumkarane Technical information cannot solve your problem, when the real problem happens. Especially the important big problems like death, marriage."
What is the difference between mere knowledge of spiritual concepts and the actual experience of them?,"You might have read manuals, hundreds of books. Might have even got hundreds of people married. Might have maybe conducting courses for happy relationship, like Dale Carnegie. But when you face- Nahi nahi rakshati dukrumkarane. Nahi nahi rakshati dukrumkarane. Very beautiful line, the grammar and the technical information you get will not protect you. Its truth, technical information is only to inspire you into experience. By itself, stand alone it will not protect you. It's like a reading menu card in the hotel is not going to satisfy your hunger. Only ordering and eating is going to satisfy your hunger. So the technical information won't satisfy. Now the technical information is these three Sutras: Attachment, idea about attachment, idea about hatred, idea about the death. This is technical information. You need to go through this as an experience at least once. Means, you should stare at pain when it happens to you; without responding or trying to solve. Stare, don't blink. If you blink you lost the game. Second, go through the death Consciously at least once. It's like a, there is a big rope with which branches, the small ropes are taken and many cows are tied."
"What is the key to liberating oneself from the binding ropes of ignorance and death, as per the teachings of the Sutra?","Due to some reason that main rope got burnt. But these foolish cows do not know this rope is already burnt. Because even after burning that looks like a rope. If they just move their body they can run away. But these guys don't understand that rope is burnt, it is no more a rope, it cannot bind them anymore. But if you move their body they will understand, they will escape. Same way when you go into the death Consciously, all the rope that binds you will be burnt. Then you will liberate you. Key of this whole Sutra, solution for this whole thing is not responding. That is what is the key, anusayi. When Shani happens to you or Yama happens to you don't blink, just stare. Don't respond, just be. That is what is anusayi. So I bless you all. Let you all experience, live and radiate Enlightenment. Let you all live and radiate the Eternal Bliss. Nithyananda. Thank you.."
"What is the meaning of the second sutra in Sadhana Paada, and how do different translators interpret it?","Todays sutra, the second chapter and second sutra in Sadhana Paada. The second sutra - Samadhi Bhaavanaartha Klesha Tanukaaranarthascha The exact translation...... as I always said, so many ways same shloka can be translated. How Swami Vivekananda translates, let's see - """"Kriya yoga leads to Samadhi and attenuates the pain bearing obstructions."""" Prabhavananda translates as """"Thus we may cultivate the power of concentration and remove the obstacles to enlightenment which cause all our sufferings."""" Swami Dwivedi translates as """"They are practiced for habitual, acquiring habitual Samadhi and for attenuating distractions."""" Purohit translates as """"the aim is to attain illumination and to destroy afflictions."""" ***Kriya Yoga leads to samadhi*** Let me give you my own translation. I need to translate along with the earlier sutra; with the first sutra. The first sutra says, Tapas, Svadhyaya, Ishwara pranidhanani, kriya yogaha; means mortification, study, and surrendering fruits of work to God are called Kriya Yoga. The second sutra says, this Kriya Yoga leads to samadhi and attenuates the pain bearing obstructions. The purpose of this Tapas, Svadhyaya, Ishwara Pranidhanani is emphasised and insisted and explained in this shloka."
What is the ultimate purpose of human existence according to the teachings of kriya yoga?,"This kriya yoga makes your body in tune with samadhi, prepares your whole being to be in tune with the samadhi and takes you beyond all sufferings. Now we need to understand this sutra very deeply. ***Samadhi sole purpose of human existence*** Lets understand all parts of the sutra, then we will have the essence of this sutra. Svadhyaya means getting all the right technical information to be in Samadhi; to be one with your source. Samadhi means being one with the cosmos, the source of the cosmos. Adhi means source. Sama Adhi means being one with the source. The whole purpose of human life, human body or the human existence is to remain in that samadhi. See the greatness of human body is for whatever purpose you might have created, whatever may be the bio memories with which you cooked this food, you created this body, this body has the efficiency and intelligence to reflect the super consciousness as it is, at least in one space."
What is the significance of the human body in relation to super consciousness and bio memories?,"For example your hands may have the bio memory of violence; your ears may have the bio memory of listening to the music which awakens the bio memory of other parts; your eyes may be having the bio memory of lust; your each part of your body may be having different different bio memories, but at least one part of you can reflect super consciousness without any hindrance, in the ultimate purity, and radiate it. That is the beauty of the human body. ***Human Body the only possibility for samadhi*** Please understand, human body is the only body which is capable of radiating the ultimate pure consciousness, in spite of having any type of bio memory. That is the unimaginable blessing given to the human beings by the cosmos. When Bible says God made human beings in his own image, this is what he means. This is what they mean. Whatever may be the bio memory out of which your body is made, it has the possibility of reflecting the super consciousness. Having the clear technical information to be established in that super consciousness continuously is Svadhyaya. Tapas means residing continuously in that super consciousness and facing the life."
"What is the primary cause of our problems, according to you, Swamiji?","See, all our problems are not from society, really, our own tendency or bio memories which yields to the society; our own bio memories; our own tendencies which yields to society. ***Controlled bio memories obstacle for surrender*** There is a beautiful verse by a saint called Pattinattar. He says that my wife is a problem, my mother is obstacle, my house is obstacle, my wealth is obstacle, my cows are obstacles, No.... there is no obstacle in the outer world. The bio memory which still feels connected to all those things in spite of you reasoning is obstacle. Too many people have played on your bio memory. Too many people have ownership on your bio memory. Many times people come and tell me, """"Swamiji, I surrender my whole life."""" I dont need to give them any work for the whole life, even a small job if I give they will disappear. But when they again come back, they say Swamiji I surrender my whole life. Then where is the problem. The problem is they are surrendering something which is not even theirs, which is really not theirs. Their whole life is not under their control."
"What is the first step for people to take control of their lives, and what happens when they surrender their life?","First thing, they need to surrender what is theirs, then what is beyond their control will start happening. I have seen when they surrender their life; it is not under their control. Their bio memories, many bio memories, are possessed by many other people. Unfortunately, still part of their bio memories listen to those people. It can be directed as they want. They can play their role on your life either through guilt or through emotional blackmail or through the sympathy; in many ways. ***Possessed by society possessed by ghost*** Actually I learnt more lessons from this whole scandal than my disciples. No. I could see different ways how the people are caught struggling, suffering in different engrams. There are some who are not sincere but blame the society. No, no, no, I wanted to be at the feet of Swamiji, but the society is not letting me; there are some who are really sincere, wanted to be but again blaming the society. no I want to be at Swamijis feet but really society is not letting me; means nothing. This second group, their bio memory is not completely under their control."
"What is the nature of a person who comes to you with a statement that is not genuine, but rather made to satisfy you, Swamiji?","Understand, if you are not interested, if you are not sincere, the statement is just made to satisfy me, people really sometime think, they think, outside whatever you can talk and play your game, in front of me they wanted a good name from me or at least they dont want any wrong word from me. They are afraid of my Vaak siddhi; whatever I tell will happen. So when they come in front of me they just wanted to behave. No, no, no. I am completely dedicated Swamiji, there is no problem from my side and I always wanted to be at your feet. I want to do this, I want to do that but society is not letting me. If you yourself have some problem and not sincere, and you are showing society as the reason, O K, no problem, forget about it. Then there is no cure for you and you may have to go through the life and come, its own time."
What happens when society plays on your bio memory and you feel it's hindering your desire to attain Enlightenment and be at the feet of a spiritual master?,"But if you are honestly feeling that you want to be at Swamijis feet and have Enlightenment and you really feel society is not letting that happen, understand, you are in a very dangerous situation. Do not allow that. Do not allow society or somebody to play on your bio memory. Then whatever you do in your life you will be a worst failure because they will be living through your bio memory. This is what I call being possessed by society, like a ghost. Being possessed by ghost at least the pains also go to the ghost. But being possessed by society all pains come to you, not to the ghost not to the guy who is possessing you. They will possess you, they will do whatever they want through you but when the problem comes they will just lift their hand, no its not me, and it comes to you only. It doesnt go to them. I tell you being possessed by the society is much much worse than being possessed by a ghost."
What is the difference in how you deal with someone who is possessed by a ghost versus someone who is possessed by society?,"If you are possessed by a ghost, just if you see the Master, if you have the just Darshan thats enough; the ghost will disappear. But if you are possessed by society I need to sit and work with you for hours, give all these understandings, even then that ghost does not go away. ***Expansion of consciousness stunted/limited by society*** Understand, being possessed by the society is the worst thing that can happen to a human being, means, they can just create any doubt in you, they can just de-stabilize you in few minutes, few seconds. You will be struggling, boiling, running, for hours, days, months, sometimes years. Being possessed by society, being owned by society has different parts, like a house or real estate is being owned bit by bit. We can tell very clearly, your this many square inch of your bio memory is owned by your mother in law, this many square inch of your bio memory is owned by your husband, this many square inch of your bio memory is owned by the son, this many square inch of bio memory is owned by this in law."
"What happens when super consciousness reflects in one's inner space, and how do bio memories or the bio memories ruled by them affect this process?","We can make a clear identification and all those fellows are capable enough to play with your bio memory as they want without even knowing or understanding its side effects and after effects on your life and your system; without even being bothered about your priorities. One important thing whenever super consciousness reflects in your inner space, your inner space gets constantly updated, expanded and grows, but their bio memories or the bio memories ruled by them do not allow that expansion, do not allow that growth. They take care constantly you get back to the same mood, same mould, same personality, so that they have a stable relationship. Many times people have their own vested interest for the stable relationship. One lady was talking to her friend saying that, all me and my husband do is fighting for whole day. I lost 10kg in last 3 months. This girl says then why dont you leave him. Why are you with him. The other one says no, no, no, I have to lose 7kg more. Sometimes relationships are retained for losing weight. Understand there are 101 reasons, 101 reasons. So they wanted their life to be very cozy, stable."
What happens when you start to grow beyond the limits set by others in your life?,"You may be part of their life for so many reasons, may be money, security, so many reasons. So they need to activate their power over your bio memory which is their part, constantly, and see that you dont grow beyond certain limit. You dont expand beyond certain limit. That is why you can see very clearly, many times after coming to meditation programme, spiritual life, you would have become more soft, more joyful, more nice to family, friends and everybody, even then they do not like you being here. Because it is not that always they expect niceness from you. They wanted you to be in their level giving company. Sometime you being nice to them loving, loving, caring, suddenly you become more sacred. Suddenly you invoke a kind of a respect in their being, and the attitude which they need to maintain with you is becoming different. Your presence somehow makes them feel you are worthy of respect; you are sacred; you cannot be taken for granted anymore. When this starts happening, they feel they are losing you. They are just losing you."
"What is the first thing people do when they feel they are losing you, according to the principles of bio memory?","When they feel they are losing you, the first thing they will do is activate their part of bio memory in you. They will not do anything directly. They will just activate that bio memory. If you have seen, if you have heard my Mahabharata story, war description, the first ten days war is the war between you and your parental conditioning; societal conditioning - Bheeshma. Bheeshma is the societal conditioning; war between you and societal conditioning. Next level war, till 13th day war, between you and the people who taught you the social structure or a little bit of spiritual based social structure - Drona. Whatever teachings have been given to you, the conditionings of your teachers, you might have had some teachers who are who is able to inspire you, who is able to inspire part of your bio memory, maybe in the school or college or university or in your life - Drona, or who has given you the secular education, education to make your living, all of them are Dronas."
"What is the difference between a Guru who teaches you little Pranayam and Kriya for health and stress relief, and one who leads you to Ultimate Enlightenment?","Even the Gurus who do not lead you to the Ultimate Enlightenment but teach you little Pranayam some Kriya, nose blowing and all that, for your little health and maintenance of little stress free or goody, goody, they are all Dronas. When you are not able to handle that conditioning, their influence over your bio memory and stop there - 13th day battle. ***Enlightenment the ultimate charity*** And, then comes Karna, the idea of Dharma, is it right or wrong...... or people come sometime, come and tell me, I wanted to be Enlightened Swamiji, but I want to work and make money and do lot of charitable work - Karna. So this charity becomes the first priority and Enlightenment became second priority. I tell you Enlightenment is the ultimate charity you will do for the world because you are sacrificing your whole life. You as you, you disappear. If you disappear from the world that is the best sacrifice because you dont need anything from the world, and after that whatever you have is the ultimate charity. All your words will elevate people, all your thinking will liberate people. Your very presence is charity, healing people. Thats the ultimate charity."
"What is the significance of facing the ego in its true form, as it is, in order to achieve liberation?","Millions of millions and millions of charities will happen just by your inspiration, just by your inspiration. But putting the charity as the first priority than enlightenment, being caught in Karna - the 16th day war. ***Liberation happens when ego disappears*** Ultimately facing the ego in its form as it is - it will be actually hiding inside the water, hiding inside the unconscious, how the Duryodhana was hiding inside the water, that ego, as it is will be hiding inside the unconscious. You need to find out, get him out, and then you need Krishna, Guru, to tell where to hit the ego. Krishna says exactly where to hit to Bheema. He says, come on, just hit in the thigh, and then Bheema hits in the thigh and ego dies. Thats what is the Ananda Gandha initiation telling exactly where to hit, so that the ego will disappear. Then liberation happens. ***Importance of Hatha Yoga*** You need to look into the whole story."
"What is the significance of Bheema replacing Arjuna in the context of the Mahabharata war, and how does it relate to the preparation of the body through Hatha Yoga?","See, first all the fight and killing was done by Arjuna till Karna, but suddenly for Duryodhana, Arjuna is replaced by Bheema, means, all the conditionings, working on conditionings, your mind is needed, Arjuna is represented by the mind; intelligence. Intelligence is Arjuna. So go through the Bheeshma go through the Drona, go through the Karna, finally exactly to hit the ego and kill it, you need heavy body which is prepared by Hatha Yoga, that is what Bheema represents. I have seen people, who go through all this intelligence level, 16 day war they finish but just because they do not have the heavy body prepared with Hatha Yoga, they are standing in the last moment. You see, Duryodhana even if he is not killed he cannot create any more nuisance, he cannot kill any more nuisance he cannot create any more nuisance. He is practically powerless, he is there, but he is still there."
"What is the main difference between the Vedanta and Aghora traditions, according to your experience, that leads to more aghoris getting enlightened than vedantis?","I have seen people, many so called vedanta sanyasis, great people, they have killed all the conditionings but unfortunately their body was not prepared with heavy Hatha Yoga, and they are there and they are almost dead ego is there like Duryodhana but they are not able to kill Duryodhana. Duryodhana is still there, even though he is not active and not creating any trouble, he is there. ***Vedanta tradition and Aghora tradition*** That is why in my experience I have seen the aghoris getting more Enlightened. More number of aghoris getting Enlightened, than vedantis, because the only difference between the vedanta and aghora tradition is, in aghora the hatha yoga, heavy hatha yoga is also part of the training system. In Vedanta - pure intelligence; tapas is missing, the physical tapas is missing. In hatha yoga the physical tapas is also part. That is why I insist on heavy yoga, intense yoga, means your body should always have that sweet pain. When I say sweet pain, if you stretch your body more than its capacity, if you do asanas more than your capacity, whole day you will be remembering some part of the body, muscles."
What is the minimum requirement for a seeker to prepare for the 18th day war?,"Thats what I call sweet pain. A seeker, first two years should have the sweet pain 24 hours, means at least 4 session of yoga, maybe half an hour, half an hour , half an hour, but four session per day. That sweet pain should be part of your life, heavy yoga. Anybody who is really really really sincere about the 18th day war, prepare Bheema inside. Unfortunately, all vedanta traditions, vedanta tradition means a guru will be sitting and talking, talking, talking, the disciple will be sitting and listening, listening, listening, and nobody needs to move their body; what we are doing; exactly the same thing. I can go on talking; you can go on sitting and listening. If you are only doing this you will be ready till the 16th day war, but for 18th day war you need intense hatha yogic body. It is inevitable. Even though it is little painful, the tapas has to happen; tapas should happen. ***Conditioning - Bheeshma/Drona/Karna/Duryodhana Where are you?*** With this whole scandal I can see there are many people who are caught in the societal parental conditioning, they are dead in the 10th day war; over; Bheeshma."
What is the difference between Bheeshma soldiers and Drona soldiers in the context of spiritual conditioning?,"They are all the Bheeshma soldiers, over. Whoever withstood the societal conditioning but unable to withstand the Drona conditioning, means the so called people who gave them the secular education or little bit of yoga, kriya, this, that, for peace and stress free life or physical health; that kind of gurus; when they are not able to withstand their conditionings, because they go on telling, instigating, eh... this is not right, that is not right, this shouldnt be done, that shouldnt be done, and you should have done that way, you should have done this way; they go on instigating. The problem is, it is not that they really care for you, it is more like a business decision. Oh god.... my customers are going there, what to do...... its a business decision. Anyhow if you are stuck there, then you are finished \\- 13th day war \\- you are the soldiers of Drona who are dead by 13th day; and comes Karna, is it right.... is it moral..... is it not wrong..... its better to do some charitable activity directly than wasting our time in this kind of teachings and enlightenment."
"What is the nature of a person who can stand beyond all conditionings and find out the ego, Duryodhana, and destroy Duryodhana to become Enlightened?","These guys are the Karna soldiers, dead by 16th day war, over. Only a guy who can stand beyond all these conditionings can find out the ego, Duryodhana, and destroy Duryodhana and become Enlightened. Tapaha means standing up with strength to fall in tune with Enlightenment, with the knowledge of Enlightenment. ***Surrender to God-Two traditions/religions*** Ultimately of course, Eshwara Pranidhanani, means establishing yourself with the concept of surrendering to the god. Please understand, with the truth of surrendering to the God, you need right understanding about the surrendering to the God. I am not saying you need to know about God to surrender to the God. You need to know about the strength of surrender, power of surrender to surrender to the God. There are only two traditions in the world. One which gives you the information about God and makes you surrender to the God other which teaches you the power of surrender, the strength of surrender, and asks you to surrender. All traditions which teaches the power of God and asks you to surrender, will create doubt in you at some point because somebody will create some doubt about your God. They may release a CD."
"What is the problem with giving information about God and asking people to surrender, and what is the alternative approach to spirituality?","And you are in a mess now. What will happen to your surrender. So, giving information about the God and asking you to surrender is not the fool proof system. Always those systems fail. They create, see.... the guy who does not like your peace can shake your peace very easily giving some other information about the same God to you. We are taught the strength of surrender and asked, asked you to surrender. It is not the information about the God, it is information about the strength of the surrender which is inspiring and asking you to surrender. ***Experience based religion*** That is why the people who experienced Krishna after 1000 years of Krishnas physical earthly life have become part of Krishnas life. I have seen in the young age in the temples, the Andal the great saint, woman saint who lived in Tamilnadu, she lived 5000 years after Krishna but for a common Hindu, Andal is part of Krishnas life. At least when I grew up whatever stories I always used to feel she lived with Krishna. Only now when I analyze the history there is a 5000 years gap."
"What is the difference between theology based religion and experience based religion, as per the understanding of surrender?","Same way Meera, 4700 years gap, but whatever we understood, she lived with Krishna. So they became part of the history of Krishna not because physically they lived, the, they understood the depth and value of surrender. Please understand always create surrender in you by understanding the strength of surrender not the informations about God. If it is invoked based on the information about God, it can always be destroyed by giving some other information. But if it is invoked knowing the strength of surrender it can never be shaken, it can never be shaken. Knowing the strength of surrender and surrendering is the experience based religion. Knowing the information about the God and surrendering to the God is theology based religion. There are only two kinds of religions in the world: theology based religion and experience based religion. All theology based religions can be shaken and disturbed by doubts but all experience based religions cannot be shaken. It cannot be touched. So any information, different information, given about God cannot create doubt in a guy who has established himself in surrender knowing the power of the surrender, strength of the surrender, not the information about God."
"What is the main reason for surrender, and why is information about God not sufficient to achieve it?","It is just only a support. Information about God is only a support, not the main reason for surrender. I tell you that is why Patanjali made millions of people Enlightened without using the weapon God. That is why he is successful, he is Universal. Patanjali appeals to intellectual mind so much, for the intelligent community so much, because he is not built on informations about God. ***Theology based religion*** See, all mythological books, all religious scriptures, which gives informations about God can be questioned, criticized, torn to pieces, left and right. You can create millions of literatures against Bhagavatam against the story part of the Bible, against the Shiva Purana, against Devi Bhagavatam, because informations about God. You can create millions of books against them, and any organization built on information about God will be shaken when doubts are created, when some other anti informations are spread strongly against the informations they were giving, they were spreading. I tell you build your surrender based on the understanding and strength of surrender. Then it will never be shaken; no doubt can disturb you; no CD can change your decision."
What is the main reason why people are not able to understand and internalize the responsible information for enlightenment?,"Unfortunately, the theology based mind cherishes the stories more than the clear responsible information for enlightenment. Understand the word I am using, responsible information for enlightenment. When I say know the strength, power of surrender, and create, build, develop, surrender, it is responsible information, you need to attend, spend your attention. You need to put little time to receive that responsible information and internalize it, but people are not that intelligent or aware or interested in responsible information. They are more interested in story, listening to stories. That is why you can see in the Northern part of India, lakhs of people will sit and listen to Bhagavatam, the story, information about God, but very few hundred, handful of people only will be sitting and listening to Bhagavad Gita. ***Surrender built on responsible information is stable*** The responsible information about surrender, the responsible informations are received internalized only by handful of people. That is the unfortunate mental set up, very unfortunate mental setup of human beings. Responsible information makes you really stand on your own."
"What is the foundation of a true surrender, and how does it relate to the power of surrender and the strength of surrender?","See if your surrender is built on responsible information, power of surrender, strength of surrender, any information about God does not matter to you, does not matter to you. You just dont need informations about God in your life. You dont need newspaper or news letter from heaven; every day video recorded message or CDs of your God. You dont need all informations. You will not be worried, bothered..... what is he doing in the heaven.... who knows. He also may be sitting and having a drink with satan, devil. May be they both are working together. Maybe they are friends, who knows. No. You dont need to worry about all those things. Who knows whether he is all powerful. You dont need to bother. If you know the strength of surrender, the power of surrender, thats enough. Experience based religion; solid, stable transformation is enough proof of the experience based religion; the surrender strength. ***Patanjali A Great Master*** Patanjali says very beautifully *Samadhi bhaavanaarthaka klesha tanukaaranaarthascha*. Samadhi attenuates, Kriya yoga leads to Samadhi and attenuates the pain bearing obstructions, means, removes all the obstacles, obstructions."
"What is the essence of this sutra, essence of this shloka, as emphasized by Patanjali?","It constantly keeps you alive, keeps you bright, keeps you in the present moment, keeps you in Samadhi, keeps you in highest Samyama. In this sutra Patanjali is mainly emphasizing and inspiring you to practice the Kriya yoga which he gave in the last sutra. Patanjali is a great master. He does not just give you instruction and leaves it. He again and again revisits and sees that you are practicing it; you are inspired to do it; you are living it, you are radiating it; you are loving it, you are carrying it in your being. The emphasis on Samadhi again and again and again, reminding you the necessity of Samadhi again and again and again and telling you to fall in tune with Samadhi, is the essence of this sutra, essence of this shloka. First reclaiming all your bio memory under your control, second establishing your whole bio memory into un-clutching, that internal fight is tapas; third, when you established yourself into that Samadhi, letting that Samadhi radiate through your Being, being established in the understanding and power and strength of Samadhi, than the informations about God."
What is the necessary condition for information about God to inspire and elevate us?,"You see, information about God inspires you, elevates you, takes you really to the level of God, but one important help is necessary for that. The whole situation should be conducive. You should be having a world where no other information about that God is inserted into your system. Practically this system is outdated the day internet is invented. ***Bhakti Path transports fantasies into devotion*** There are only two paths; the Bhakti and Gnana. Bhakti is like giving information about God to you and inspiring your whole being. See in Hindu tradition about each God we have so many beautiful stories. You may think why so many stories. For example about Krishna - his childhood stories to his great heroic acts; you may think why. Actually if you put all the information about Krishna, if somebody has done so much he should he would have lived at least 2000 years in the planet earth. Of course he lives eternally, thats different, but so much information, you may think why.... because for each mind they are supplying material and elevating that mental setup."
What is the process by which devotees with different attitudes are transformed into spiritual devotion and attain Samadhi in Goloka?,"If you are motherly type they give you the information about child Krishna, they put you in the Vatsalya Bhava and you are in Goloka. If you are friendly type, they give you all the beautiful Sakha Bhava, friendly information about Krishna and just which awakens your fantasies and turns your fantasies into devotion and you are in Goloka. If you are romantic type they give you the romantic side of Krishna and awaken that Madhura Bhava and put you in Goloka. Your fantasies are just transported into the spiritual devotion and you are in Goloka. So for each attitude they have material, information about the god, to transform you and to put you in Samadhi. But for that you need a whole civilization which is in tune with that ideology, with that theology. Even one person, only one person not in tune can disturb that whole setup. One Shishupala is enough, can disturb millions of people growing."
"What is the danger in sharing information about God and transformation, and how can it lead to the downfall of many people becoming enlightened?","See, what I said, that information about God and transforming you is also a great system, I can say very easy system, very easy, very easy way you can be transformed, but big danger is one Shishupala can destroy millions of people becoming enlightened. Even in this scandal, I just felt only one thing, Oh God there were millions almost ripening, ripening, just few more months or few more years they would have become real fruit, enlightened fruit, but unfortunately this one cyclone, millions of fruits have fallen before ripening, means, one Shishupala is enough. He can destroy the possibility of millions becoming enlightened, the last moment, even in the last moment because one wrong information is enough. One wrong information is enough, can shake many people. ***Gnana Path Vitarka based tradition*** The next kind of civilization, this kind of tradition, Gnana tradition, making people aware and understand the strength of surrender, power of surrender and making the move. Its little difficult in the initial level to make them understand and move, but strong, eternal; no Shishupala can do anything."
What happens to the Bhakti based enlightenment process in this age of rapid and uncensored information sharing?,"Now in the modern world the first system is almost outdated, because there is no civilization which is able to retain their vitarka system, their vitarka based tradition, because of the violent, terrific, terrible, abusive invasion of informations, especially abusive informations. When this age has started where the communication happens at the speed of thought to anybody anywhere without any censor and without even thinking the side effect and after effect on that person who receives information and making that person very interested by quoting it with sensationalism, in this age that Bhakti based enlightenment process is almost impossible. Even if you create devotion on the masters who are no more in the body, Sri Ramakrishna or Sri Krishna or Rama, suddenly there are people who write books who come up with some literature and shake the informations which you recieve, and completely shake the possibility of your enlightenment. But if you are creating your surrender, based on the strength of surrender the power of surrender, you cannot be shaken. ***Trusting the*** ***system*** Establishing yourself in Samadhi is more than enough. Its very easy. You cannot be shaken. Establishing the Samadhi cant be disturbed at all."
"What is the worst miss in life that you feel for the people, and how can one avoid it?","So I tell you, an important thing, establish yourself in surrender, based on responsible information, otherwise sometime when you are shaken by some wrong or rumours and abusive informations about your God or Guru, you just suddenly lose faith in the whole system, which is the worst miss in the life. Do not allow that. I really feel for the people. If somebody has lost their vitarka on me, I have no problem. The possibility to have the same vitarka, same trust, same strong trust feeling connection with somebody else, some other Guru, some other God, some other Master is open. Great! no problem. You will have that awakening again in some place. But there are some people unfortunately they lost trust in the whole system. Nothing can be done. Dont miss. Dont lose the trust over the whole system. No...... thats the worst miss. Dont allow that to happen. ***Cultivate Samadhi and radiate Enlightenment*** So build your surrender based on responsible information, knowing the strength of surrender, not knowing the informations about God or the powers of God. Build surrender. Ishwara Pranidhana should happen knowing the power of Pranidhana, not knowing the power of Ishwara."
"What is the essence of the sutra that leads to eternal bliss, as per the teachings of Nithyananda?","If you know the power of Ishwara and Ishwara Pranidhana happens, it can be shaken. If you know the power of Pranidhana and Ishwara Pranidhana happens, it can never be shaken. The essence of this sutra is cultivate Samadhi, radiate Enlightenment, through this three things Tapas, Svadhyaya, Ishwara Pranidhana, to remove all the obstacles from your life and be established in eternal bliss. I bless you all to build your surrender based on responsible information and Live, Radiate Enlightenment. Let you all achieve and radiate the Eternal bliss Nithyananda. Thank you.."
Are you from Naga Sampradaya and taking the first dip at Kumbh Mela?,"In Kumbh Mela the first dip will be taken by persons from Naga Sampradaya. I came to know that this Kumbh Mela you will be taking the first dip. Are you from Naga Sampradaya? **Swamiji:** No no no. I am not going to take the first dip. There are thirteen Mahamandaleshwars. One-three Mahamandaleshwars of the Nirvani Akhada. All thirteen will take the first dip. Last time they allowed Me to take first dip because in that thirteen, I am the only person who created an order, order of Sanyasis. All others are imbibed. They are like hereditary. Their Gurus have created the organisation; they came to the seat. Last time they allowed Me to take the first dip because I created the Sangha. They have respect for Me, that's all. And this time, all these thirteen will take dip. Please understand it is not that Ill be taking the dip, all the thirteen will take the first dip. I am also from, Im from Naga Sampradaya. Naga Sampradaya means, he says hes asking the question: Can you explain Naga Sampradaya."
What is the significance of Naga Sampradaya in the context of Shankara Parampara and the practice of living with nature?,"Naga Sampradaya means the Sanyasis who are from Shankara Parampara, Shankara's Parampara who accept the sky as the cloth and whatever comes in their way as their food. And it's a initiated into Paramahamsa order. I think day before yesterday I was explaining; they will wear the cloth only when they come inside the city to teach. If I am not inside the city, if I am not teaching and the sky is the dress, means living with nature. Its a traditional way of living and we are supposed to eat whatever comes in our way. That rules belongs to all the Sanyas Parampara like carrying the stick and all does not apply to us. As I said that avadhoota and Paramahamsas, it does not apply. Its a tradition created to keep the enlightenment science alive. We are supposed to dedicate our time to practice and preach the Enlightenment science. There are like this few restrictions and few understandings. That's all. This time all the thirteen will be taking bath. That is the traditional right. Last time they allowed Me. In that thirteen, nobody else has created an organisation, created a Sangha. It's like a understanding between the thirteen."
"What is the process of ordaining a Mahamandaleshwar in the Nirvani Akhada, and what are the requirements for this title?","Totally there are 30,000 Mahamandaleshwars and 300 Akhadas. Akhada means group, the organisation. So the first leading organisation is the Nirvani Akhada, which is our organisation, which we belong to. It is the leading organisation. It has only one-three Mahamandaleshwars. In this organisation they have a lot of restrictions. If to ordain somebody as Mahamandaleshwar. Somebody asked the question, how the Mahamandaleshwar is being ordained and all that. Who put the question. How the titles are given. They have their own screening method. They should have had this kind of experiences. They should have initiated this many number of Sadhus and they should have written this many number of books and they go through their, some of their, they have their own calculations. Then they ordain. Again a few questions on what is meant by Mahamandaleshwar. It is nothing. It is a traditional title given, honour given to somebody to recognise their contribution. Awakening Kundalini is not good for married couple. **Swamiji:** Don't worry, it is good. Nothing wrong, nothing wrong. Tea, alcohol, sex should stop, to practice Kundalini. **Swamiji:** Nothing like that. See awakening of kundalini, you may drop alcohol."
"What is the essence of the message that I, the Master, want to convey to the entire world today?","Radiating enlightenment that is My todays message for the whole world. Radiate enlightenment continuously. Please understand. I am taking you deeper, further, into living enlightenment. Radiating, the very word is so active, alive. Not only you living enlightenment, all the people around you inspiring them through your living enlightenment is what I call radiating enlightenment. Let the enlightenment express through your muscles, in your thinking, in your words, in your action. Let it express through your being. Inspire all the people who are living around you. Please understand, the world is mirror for you. Whatever world experiences about you, you experience that as you. You continuously look into the world to know more about you, to have idea about you. Now create beautiful enlightened mirrors around you by radiating enlightenment so that constantly you will remember you are not only living, radiating enlightenment. So take up this as the mission for this year. People around you should really feel the power of your enlightenment, the power of your jivanmukti."
"What is the definition of living enlightenment, jivanmukti, as per your teachings?","When I say the word living enlightenment, energy to change whatever can be changed, intelligence to accept whatever need not be changed, clarity however you change the whole world is just one more changing dream, and devotion towards that which is unchanging. This is what I define as living enlightenment, jivanmukti. Now let these great truths radiate through your system so strongly, let all the people around you, the world around you, feel the power of enlightenment. Let your muscles radiate this truth. Please understand, do not think, there is so much of anger in me, suffering is in me, pain is in me. Dont think, All these things are here, how can I be jivanmukta. You can never have a space where all these things are not there and feel you are a jivanmukta. No. You have to become like a Kalabhairava who is dancing between everything. Kalabhairava is not trying to find a beautiful, nice podium to dance. Maybe the celestial beauties, the apsaras, the deva kanyas, may try to find a beautiful stage for dancing. But Kalabhairava does not try to find a beautiful stage. Wherever he is, he is dancing."
"How can one experience ananda samadhi amidst the presence of burnt and unburnt emotions, pain, and suffering, just like Kalabhairava in the cremation ground?","He may be in the cremation ground, maybe bones and skulls are lying all around, bodies are being burnt half are burnt, unburnt, but he is just in ananda samadhi, dancing. So understand, all your burnt, unburnt emotions like anger, lust, greed, pain, suffering, are all the burnt, unburnt bodies lying around you. Pain, physical or mental, which is lying inside you, are the bones and skulls. You become the Kalabhairava untouched by all these things and dance among all these things in ananda samadhi. Let that all be there. That is part of your enlightenment. You dont need to try to find a place where all these things will not be there. Let them all be there, you just dance amidst like a Kalabhairava, declaring your freedom, declaring your jivanmukti, declaring your swatantratva even though all those things are there, being untouched by all those things. Everything is there, around Kalabhairava, but nothing touches him. He is not bothered by anything. He is dancing amongst all those things. So whatever may be inside you doubt, pain, suffering whatever may be - good or bad understanding, whatever it may be, just raise up above."
How can you radiate enlightenment into the whole human consciousness and extend the power of your goodness much more than others' expectations?,"Stand up with full energy, and declare your enlightenment. Dance on it in ananda samadhi, being untouched by any of these things. Radiate enlightenment into the whole human consciousness. I dedicate this year for radiating enlightenment. All of you decide to radiate enlightenment this whole year. Let all the people around you feel the power of enlightenment which you are radiating in your actions. Extend your goodness much more than their expectations. Extend the power of your enlightenment much more than their imagination. Please understand. Extend the power of goodness you radiate much more than what they expect as enlightenment. Radiate all the auspiciousness of enlightenment much more than what others think as enlightenment. Let these great truths penetrate your muscles and inspire, energize, encourage other muscles, others muscle memories, to radiate these same great truths. Any growth in any department of any civilization is defined by the people who dream in that field. People who dream based on the muladhara and swadhisthana and express it, share it with the civilization, are entertainers. People who dream based on anahata and share it with the world are artists, painters, sculptors, architects."
"What is the role of dreaming the impossible from the sahasrara, crown chakra, in becoming an acharya?","People who dream the impossible from the sahasrara, crown chakra, the jeevan mukti, and express it to the world, are acharyas. So all you guys dream the impossible, the ultimate jivan mukti. Constantly dream. Understand. About jeevan mukti you cannot dream. That is why I am saying dream Any idea you create about jivan mukti will become vision in you, not just dream. With ordinary things, you dream the dreams. When you start dreaming about jivan mukti, dream dreams you. Create the extreme possible visions about jivan mukti, dreams about jivan mukti. They will simply express themselves through your muscles. You and your dreams are like two sides of a scale, weighing scale. Any dream about jivan mukti will become so heavy, naturally that side will drop; that side will become heavy. That will simply start expressing itself through what you think as you, what you feel as you. Create the extreme possible dreams about jivan mukti; they will just start living through you. When Arjuna asks Krishna how a jivanmukta lives, how he eats, how he sleeps, whatever Krishna was doing he was describing in Gita. That is the baseline."
What is the significance of millions of people asking how a jivanmukta will operate in various professions?,"Now there are millions of Arjunas asking not this simple question, millions of questions how a jivanmukta will operate laptop, how a jeevan mukta will be a software engineer, how a jivanmukta will be an auditor, how a jivanmukta will be a lawyer, how a jivanmukta will be a businessman, how a jeevan mukta will be an entertainment artist how a jivan mukta will be in different fields people are asking. So My answer is - all you guys. All of you are My answers to the world. So all of you reinvent, reinvent this great definition of Krishna in your day-to-day life and show how a jivanmukta will be a lawyer, how a jivanmukta will be an artist, how a jivanmukta will be a businessman, how a jivanmukta will be a painter, how a jeevan mukta will be an entertainment artist, how a jeevan mukta will be an engineer. So let you all become My acharyas who define jivan mukti in different fields. Let all of you radiate enlightenment and set a clear standard in every field how a jivanmukta will radiate. The question Krishna faced from Arjuna was very simple. So the answer was simple."
How can you be the solution to the world for the questions that the Lord is facing from the world?,"Now the question I am facing from millions of Arjunas is big. That is why I have to create thousands and thousands, millions and millions of answers. Let each one of you be My answer to the world. Let each one of you be the solution to the world for the questions I am facing from the world. Whoever radiates enlightenment are My acharyas. You will be My solution to the world. You guys are the dreamers of the new civilization which I am expressing, the civilization of enlightenment. You guys are the acharyas of the new civilization which is happening. So dream the extreme possible jivanmukti dreams. In every situation how a jivanmukta will be, this moment how a jivanmukta will be. How a jivanmukta will breathe, how a Jivanmuktas inner space will be, how a jivanmukta will sit, how a jivanmukta will be. Create that extreme visualizations. Extreme dreams, they are capable enough of expressing themselves through your muscles as reality. They are capable enough to radiate itself through your muscles. You just create the extreme possible jivanmukti dreams which cant even be called as dreams, visions."
"What is the message that I, Nithyananda, want you all to radiate to the whole world?","They will simply start expressing itself through you to the whole world. So radiate enlightenment. Radiating enlightenment is My message. Not just living, radiating. Shake the whole world with this jivanmukti. Flood the whole world with this jivanmukti. Radiating enlightenment through your thoughtless thoughts, through your wordless words, through your actionless actions, through your mind, words and body. Radiate it through all possible actions. When people around you feel the power of your living enlightenment, radiating enlightenment, you will simply see you are radiating. Till they feel you will not have confidence you are radiating. Only when they feel you will have the clarity and confidence you are radiating. I can say, only then you will settle down in jivanmukti undoubtedly. You will radiate jivanmukti without any doubts. So I bless you all and initiate you all into radiating enlightenment. Let you all radiate enlightenment, be My acharyas to spread enlightenment in the cosmos, in the universe. I bless you all to radiate enlightenment. Let you all be radiating enlightenment. Let you all achieve and radiate enlightenment. Let you all be radiating enlightenment. Let you all achieve and radiate the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you.."
"What is the reality behind the concept of re-birth, as per the experiences and research of past life therapists and scientists?","Re-birth a fantasy or reality. I have some quotations and discoveries, inventions, opinions of researchers and scientists. Roger J.Woolger, psychotherapist of my age gives evidence for diseases that got cured when the past life trauma was removed. The quotes are A Womans chronic migraine disappeared after reliving the agony of a 7 year old dying from the head wounds inflicted with an iron bar wielded by her father. These are some of the direct experiences of people who work in the past life research. Woogler refers to the physical manifestations of apparent past life experiences as inherited structures. The physical manifestations of apparent past life experiences of inherited experience. A weak stomach may carry past life memories of poisoning, starvation or dysentery. He is right. If you have a past life memory of poisoning, dysentery or starvation your stomach can be weak. Nothing only that, if you see all these poisoning, dysentery or starvation continuously, your stomach can be weak. Whenever you see psychological or physiological weakness around you, you will get impacted by it. All social conditioning is not forced on you by society. Anything happening in society you put yourself in that situation and see."
What is the primary source of conditioning in human beings?,"Society does not condition you. You get conditioned by society. Really your parents are not such cruel people to make you like this. NO. They are not cruel, they are just ignorant. Only when you understand that, you will forgive them and get out of this conditioning. Wherever you see a condition, you put yourself into it. For example when you see and if you think you are 10 million worth, whenever you see someone who is 20 million worth, you will put yourself in his position and start thinking if I am in his position, what is the good or the bad that will happen in me. That is the conditioning happening in you. But when you see Bill Gates, you may not react in similar way. So he may not be conditioned by him directly. Understand this point the conditioning when you feel the click, the possibility for you to exist there exists, immediately you start thinking putting yourself in that position and start seeing the positive and negative. Anything that happens in you in that positive and negative is called social conditioning."
How does constantly putting oneself in someone else's position affect one's DNA and past life experiences?,"So when somebody is having food poison, starvation, dysentery, you will put yourself in that situation and imagine what will happen to you if you get it. Immediately your DNA is conditioned. Not only in the 1st layer past, even in the 2nd layer past this happens with you. Actually, all the calamity and chaos is just because you constantly putting yourself on somebodys position. You dont have base on you, you dont get rooted in you, you go on putting yourself in somebody elses position. When you do this and see what will I do if that comes to me, if this comes to me, Oh God. I think it will be great, Oh God. I dont think I can handle it these 2 are social conditioning. I can see how the past life and past living are almost one and the same. I have to use the word almost because it is not exactly. More than 90% are one and the same. All 1st layer past layer theories will be adopted in 2nd layer past and all 2nd layer past living will be adopted in past living."
What are the two things that you should avoid in order to handle life's challenges effectively?,"I am just seeing very clearly how you get conditioned by society and constantly entertain, cherish the sufferings and the karma whether it is in the plane of economy or in the plane of physical health or relationships you always put yourself in somebodys position and plan. And then when you say what will I do if that comes to me, if this comes to me, Oh God. I think it will be great, Oh God. I dont think I can handle it if you can just avoid these 2 as far as your awareness & consciousness goes, as much as your awareness penetrates, just see your awareness, your consciousness, your intelligence that much you avoid thats enough. There is a very beautiful stotra from Kabir. I am going through some of the great Kabir and Meera songs to learn hindi. You should learn a language only from a poetry never from a prose. That is why in our vedic tradition all language was born from poetry. Never a language was born in vedic tradition from a prose. Tamil, telugu, hindi, kannada, Bengali - all languages took birth from Sanskrit from poem. And even the writing was not in prose."
What is the relationship between intellectual capability and existential reality in the context of being a poet or an artist?,"Writing existed only in poetry. It should be more poetry based, less prose based. Prose should be used only to explain. But writing should always thru poem. Being a poet is not a intellectual capability it is a existential reality. If there is no gap between your intellectual capability and existential reality, you are enlightened. Whatever you are showing to the world like poetry, singing, dancing if you do that being in existential reality then you are enlightened. If you dont have anything, show anything to the world and be anything and you did not have it then also you are enlightened I have seen so many such people the Mouni babas, baul mystics, tantric saints, wandering sadhus, parivraajaka acharyas all of them were living in existential reality and expressing themselves and so they are all enlightened. Being a poet, dancer, singer or being an intellectual orator or writer should be an existential reality not just intellectual capability. When you teach a language to a child he should just sing in that language. His whole inner space should be singing. For sake of others to understand, he should translate those words. But he himself should be singing inside."
What is the significance of Kabir's statement 'oh my beloved dont appear in front of me' and how does it relate to the experience of the senses grabbing the master?,"When I saw Kabir, I thought oh god. This guy never had a single thought in his life other than deep truths in his life. He says oh my beloved dont appear in front of me. Even remembering that you may enter into my house my eyes come out to grab you, to see you. Never ever make the mistake of entering I dont know what will happen. The 2nd sacred sentiment he shares is just because my senses are completely outside my system, outside my prana saraera to grab you, there is nobody to process information and create social conditioning inside! if you yourself have experienced at least once that your senses are lost grabbing the master, you will understand what he is saying. But if you are lost in looking at others who is close to the master, who is in the upper posts, who is more powerful in the sangha, you will miss this completely. The problem is always males suffer with hierarchy and females with attention if you dont have these 2 and experience your senses grabbing him, you will understand what he is sharing."
What is the condition to grasp the sacred sentiment expressed by a great devotee like Kabir?,"If kabir is sharing 100 unit of his sentiments, only if you have experienced at least one unit of such a sacred sentiment, you will be able to grab the sacred sentiment he is expressing. Once there was a young man who approached Ramanuja and said I want to achieve great devotion, the paraa bhakti. Ramanuja asks him have you ever fallen in love even once in your life. The man is shocked at this question and he says no no, I have not done any such thing. I am pure. I came to you only for para bhakti. Then Ramanuja says relax, go back, love someone and then come back for paraa bhakti. Actually when you really, really, really fall in love even in an ordinary way with an ordinary person, a ray of sacred sentiment is awakened in you. Because at one point you may have to sacrifice the constant feeling of me in that one moment you would have experienced the sacred sentiment as to what Andal felt for Krishna, what Meera felt for Krishna, what Ramana Maharshi felt for Arunachala. Ramana maharshi is what can I say- extreme and naked madhura bhava."
"What is the depth of madhur bhava expressed by Ramana Maharshi for Arunachala, as seen in the marital garden of flowers he created?","A unhidden unclothed madhur bhava he expresses for arunachala. I have not seen any deeper or naked madhura bhava than what is expressed in the marital garden of flowers put by Ramana Maharshi to Arunachala. Earlier when I used to see Bhagavans photos, his teachings like who am I, I used to have a great feeling of respect for him oh a great avatara purusha, eternally peaceful presence sitting and gazing at the great hill Arunachala. The whole understanding and relationship was great. Only when I read his Aksharamanamaalai the marital garden of letters, I thought oh God. This old man with just a loin cloth can have so much. Of course when you see someones madhur abhava your respect becomes intimacy. And what a great opening up he had for Arunachala. He says For whose sake you grabbed me or you snatched me. Now if you forsake me the whole world will abuse you. What a secret or personal intimate sacred sentiment. He also says you are the owner of my house, you are supposed to be possessive of me, but these 5 senses these thieves are coming and raping me. Are you not aware."
"What is the greatness of sacred sentiments, and how do they connect us to the person and object expressing them?","Are you not a man. The greatness of the sacred sentiments is you will feel so deeply connected to the person and the object to which the person is expressing the sentiment. For ex when maanikyavaasagar sings glory of shiva, you will feel connected to both shiva and maanikyavaasagar also. When Kabir sings for Ram, you will feel Ram and Kabir both because he is letting you experience his intimacy with his beloved he is opening up. Same way when you share sacred sentiments of Ramana Maharshi, you will feel connected not only to arunachala but to him also. I used to think earlier when he is gazing at Arunachala oh he is gazing in Samadhi, he is in nirvkalpa great guy. Now I know nothing he is in rasa leela This sacred sentiment of kabir from the book love songs of kabir. I have read at least few books on kabir, but this selection was amazing. Some of these guys rumi, kabir, maanikyavaasagar, oh God. I feel just to enjoy these fellows I want to assume more & more bodies. Just to enjoy these fellows this kabir, rumi, manikyavaasagar."
What is the significance of enjoying sacred sentiments in the inner world?,"I tell you a man who does not know how to enjoy sacred sentiments, he is missing one of the most important gadgets of inner world. Just imagine if overnight all the gadgets from outer world disappear, how you will feel. Surely, Praana will die, he will lose his praana how you will feel. Same way enjoying the sacred sentiments is inner world gadget. This sacred sentiments of Kabir - my senses are protruding just feeling that you may come sometime to my hut to grab your form, but never do the mistake of coming because I dont know what will happen to me. And just because of this there is nobody inside to process outside info and create social conditioning. As a side effect enlightenment happens. That is why these Bhaktas dont care about jnana. These great devotees dont care about enlightenment. I asked my brahmacharini who is in my research team one day do you want jnana or bhakti. She said I want bhakti because then I will have jnana anytime. I thought good she is intelligent."
What is the key to creating a strong foundation of sacred sentiments in children from a young age?,"Bhaktas dont care for jnana because the senses protrude into something and being lost there is nobody to create the social conditioning. From young age, encourage, initiate and teach how to enjoy sacred sentiments either make them listen, read or work with them for this. This is a great inner world gadget. This is one more smriti code for the sangha , all our devotees, disciples who have kids should follow this. Encourage your kids and teach them to enjoy sacred sentiments. More teaching and learning process must be poetic. Prose should be made to understand the poem. Else the backbone of the teaching structure should be poetic. Trying to show intelligent capability means you are a consultant. Being in the existential reality means you are a CEO leader. I want all my kids to be CEOs. So the essence of todays message is this sacred sentiment social conditioning happens in you when you constantly put yourself in others position. If it clicks with you, you may have fear and greed. If it does not click with you, it may create a gap. Stop doing that internal chewing stop putting yourself in others positions. How to do this."
"What is the first step to prevent more and more engrams from accumulating in you and reliving the past, relieving it in the present, reviving your future, and rewiring your brain?","Learn to lose yourself in the sacred sentiments. It is very easy it is not a big thing. The moment I describe some sacred sentiment about love, if you just have that secret sentiment inside and that uncontrollable smile, be very clear, you have that inner world gadget and celebrate it. Whatever you celebrate will grow in you. If you dont have, create one. It is possible. So, I have given clear goal and the path for not allowing more & more engrams accumulating in you and reliving the past relieving it in the present, reviving your future, rewiring your brain. From tomorrow, continuously I will speak on sacred sentiments. For few days I will be travelling. I will try to do morning satsang wherever I am. With so much of knowledge, energy, intelligence, healing & initiating 1000s of people, still a part of me the child in me is shedding tears for Shiva Puraanam. It is very funny. You should see my daily routine. Especially when I get up in the morning and try to my own body stretching, I can see very clearly the wall is begging what should I do."
"What is the significance of the idea 'I am a lie, my heart is a lie, my love is a lie' in the context of spiritual growth and self-realization?","Should I move and be here tell me. I tell all you guys be in your position, I am trying to do something with this structure and body that I have. Even those few moments when I hear the shiva puranam oh god. It says I am a lie, my heart Is a lie, my love is a lie, but person with so much of karma's if I melt down I can have you. I just melt when I hear this. See, I already have him and having him. I dont need to melt down with this sacred sentiment. This idea I am lie, my heart is lie it does not directly fit with me because all that lie, karma is not there in me. If I melt down, I dont need to because I already have him. Even then, with all this looking from the other shore is such a great thing. See there are 2 shores. One is the seeker and the other is the attained advaita and dvaita. Tasting the water in the other shore has always a secret taste. Sometime I wonder what is going on. And it is such a sweet taste."
What is the significance of looking at the shore of ignorance after achieving enlightenment?,"It is like after you get established as a big guy, you go back to school and donate some money to it. Same way, now you are no more a seeker. There is nothing that is now binding you. But you go to other shore and look at this shore. How it feels. Sacred sentiments gives you joy of all sights of enlightenment. Enlightenment experience advaita anubhooti is like a temple tower, it stands. But the focus lights put on the big tower make you experience it in different ways. The sacred sentiments are the different focus lights to see the different dimensions of the temple tower like the daasa bhava, madhura bhava, maatru bhave & maha bhava and all of these. These extraordinary sacred sentiments. I can say it is a technique to clean your 3rd layer past which is all your past from big bang to this moment. Kabir. What a plane of consciousness these guys would have lived, what a space they would have floated. An old man with a loin cloth lying on the couch, gazing at Arunachala having a rasaleela and madhura bhava and what he must be going through behind that smile."
What is the significance of sacred sentiments in achieving enlightenment and the difference between jnana and bhakti?,"Sacred sentiments makes enlightenment as immediate. See whatever makes your goal as a goal for you is jnana. Whatever makes your goal as immediate for you is bhakti. The sacred sentiments make the whole experience as Now immediate. If you just sit and see the whole thing is true (quotes Shiva Purana) any thing you feel changes, any idea you have changes, my heart is a lie very shallow, morning it feels love, then irritated, then agitated, it is changing all the time so it is a big lie. My love is a lie. If there is no reciprocation from other side it can just change and becomes hatred then how can it be love. It just remains as love only as long as there is reciprocation from the other side. That is why, in the initial state, sacred sentiment can happen only with master. Because first master will reciprocate and then he stops so that and turns you towards atma bhakti which is the pure flowing love. Shiva Puranam beautifully says but even though I am loaded with samskaras and karma, if I melt down I can have you. God."
"What is the mood of a person who lives in extraordinary joy and can't wear clothes due to their sensitive skin, similar to Maanikyavaasagar and Ramakrishna?","What a mood this maanikyavaasagar would be living in! he always used to live outside the village. He will go the temple everyday, have darshan and come outside and stay. Because he cant wear clothes the extraordinary joy will make the whole skin sensitive. Same way with Ramakrishna, because he is always in ecstasy, he would never wear clothes. He would be somewhere and his clothes will lie elsewhere. Sometime, he would have them on his upper body or face. Sacred sentiments. The extraordinary joyous moments. People always feel in modern society if you open up in sacred sentiments you are a fool. I tell you those fools are the ones who will die with Parkinson's Alzheimer's, heart attacks, arthritis, nervous breakdown, depression these are the demons sent to planet earth to kill them. They are sent to finish people who don't melt with sacred sentiments. First I think they catch media only. All this cinema, media, TV only a devotee will be shown as a fool, villain. All symbols related to sacred sentiments is shown as anti-social. We dont even need to curse them. They will have their own share alzheimers disease, depression, parkinsons disease, obesity."
"What is the problem with people who become depressed, yet still don't understand the connection between their emotional state and physical weight?","But the problem is even after they become tippu sundaris (meaning depression beauties) they dont understand that because they dont melt in sacred sentiments, they put on weight. Sometime people come and tell me about my ex-devotees that they have become fat. I wonder already someone who is so fat, how can she become more fat. And I think she must have someone in the family in construction business to make larger doors in the house Alright. Let us not talk more than this. The mouth with which we speak about Kabir and the heart with which we remember Maanikyavaasagar. Enough we dont need to talk about anybody else. Blessings!."
"How do past life experiences influence our current fears and relationships, as observed in past life regression therapy?","Re-live to relieve. Again I'll continue on the same subject of past life, past lives, second layer past. Scientists in the field of past life regression like Dr. Brian Weiss, leading psychotherapist and author of the Many Lives, Many Masters and Dr. Ian Stevenson, state past life therapy can be a cure for psychological ailments like unexplained fears; for example claustrophobia which is a fear of closed spaces. A person relived a past life in which he was buried alive in an earthquake. Once the trauma was released he was able to overcome the fear; healing evidence of the claustrophobic patient. I can really understand and relate to this; its true. If you are buried alive or got drowned in the past life that engram gets carried and becomes claustrophobic. Not only that, even the unnecessary fears you carry, if you have the strong fear about your parents, especially father, you will project that same on me. If you had a very good relationship with the father, very loving, caring father, you will exactly project that same on me. I have seen how we carry engrams and how we project on people, how we see it in the life."
"What is the nature of samshaya, the doubt, and how does it affect a person's life?","Samshaya, the doubt is such a worst demon, makes the whole life hell makes you uncomfortable everywhere. Wherever you go the moment you start doubting, the whole life becomes hell and it is impossible to live. I know how the people doubt, live. I can only sympathize or laugh at them. The extraordinary tamas creates an intense doubt about everything in the life. This claustrophobia is nothing but a extraordinary doubt; doubting even the space. There are different levels of doubt - doubting persons, doubting relationships. The extreme is doubting the very space you start living in; you are living. Thats what is the claustrophobia. Even Patanjali says in his Yoga Sutras, Samskara sakshat karanaat purvajati jnanam. Making samyama on previous thought waves one obtains knowledge of ones past lives. Vivekananda also translates this as - through the perceiving of impressions comes the knowledge of past life. Its a technique; very powerful technique. If you are claustrophobic now, try to meditate on that samskara. Why you feel that way how you feel. You will open the first layer past and second layer past."
"What happens when you project your past trauma or doubt onto someone, such as me, and how can you overcome it?","Same way if you are having the fear projecting your past trauma or the doubt, untrusting, untrusting relationships on me, dig into it. Why you are feeling that way. Why you are projecting that way. Dig into it. You will see you are rewinding the first layer past and second layer past. It may not be, even be just from this birth; because many things from this birth can be just burnt away by NSP. Samskara dahana kriya is enough to burn away many things from this birth. There may be something you are carrying from the past. Inability to open up to trust is a worst hell because with that quality however life is comfortable you just cant live. It will suffocate. See claustrophobia and living with the people whom you are not able to trust are one and the same. You have a huge house, so much wealth but the two three people with whom you are living you are not able to trust; you will be claustrophobic in that house. Deep suffocation will be there in that house. Claustrophobia is nothing but unable to trust the space you live."
"What is the most powerful process for past life regression, as per the teachings on unhealed past life karma?","Even though there is a huge space you will feel constant suffocation. If you look on the engrams which creates suffocation in you go on digging, digging, digging, digging, meditating, samyama, doing samyama on it; as I said yesterday accepting and looking through, the first layer past and second layer past will start opening. First layer past and second layer past will start opening. Its the most powerful process for the past life regression. Again I have one more abstract from healpastlives.com. Morbid obesity or clinically severe obesity is a life threatening condition where patient is above the optimal weight for their height due to chronic urge to overeat. Research says although genetic mutation, physical addiction, brain chemistry and psychological pain may be the causes, unhealed past life karma is the primary cause. Research says that most common past life causes for the morbid obesity are starvation in one or more past lives, leading to constant desire to overeat. Not only that, if you have cheated somebody's food, again that karma lands in your system and it takes an effect of making you overeat."
"What is the common phenomenon observed in countries that deprive food from others, and how does it relate to India's tradition of sharing food?","Please understand all the countries which are depriving the food from other countries are suffering with obesity. Look in; look. When you are depriving food through various methods scientifically, socially, economically, the countries and systems which are encouraging depriving food from others suffer with overeating and obesity. Exactly what these scientists are saying is true. I can tell one thing; in the whole world that sharing food freely with no cost is a lifestyle only in India. All religious ceremonies invariably involves this sharing food. That should be the vedic tradition because we are grain based civilization. Sharing food; not just social or religious ceremonies as a life style I have seen, I have seen at least in my village at least the ten houses which I know in which I grew up. In Indian villages you dont grow up in one house. You usually live in that ten twelve houses some four five days you stay in one house some four five days you stay in another one house. Saturday Sunday you stay in another one house. That is the way we all grow and there will not be any reason. Just like that go to the grandparents house."
"What is the significance of the open-door policy in an Indian village household, as described by you?","I will not come back for even for twenty days I will be there because school and everything is all close by you see. All that ten twenty houses I grew up. I have always seen all those houses are always open either for sadhus or for beggars or for guests or for visitors. I have seen my grandfathers house, my mothers fathers house, all that villagers who come for the business to the city, they will straight away walk into the house and eat and go. Its not that they will inform before. Always its like a its not, only when I describe now it looks like a big thing and only when I saw the other country lifestyle I understood its a too big thing. Of course if you are from an Indian village you will not consider this as a big thing. Oh it is a lifestyle in every house. Every house this is a lifestyle."
"What is the experience of sharing food in the villages of India, as observed by you?","But only when I started traveling outside India, if it is your own son's house also you have to make two phone calls, your own daughter's house you have to tell two times that you are coming at this such an such a time. I am really shocked. I have seen the, and those villagers they will straight away come and do some business in the city and they know that Mudaliar's house food will be there. Noon means they will come and eat and go. This people also even they will not even ask who you are ,, from where you are coming; nothing. There will be one area allotted specially for that. Anybody comes and sits, this two three ladies in the house they will bring water and give first and they will first thing they will ask have you had lunch or dinner breakfast. They will say no, no, no I came to eat only. Then they bring that banana leaf, its like a regular routine. Sharing food should be a lifestyle. I wanted to give this as a one more smruti. Smruti means the lifestyle to experience and radiate ultimate truths. Shruti is ultimate truths."
"What is the significance of keeping your house kitchen open for anyone who is hungry, as per the teachings of the Guru?","Smruti is lifestyle ideals which you need to imbibe and live, to live those ultimate truths in your life. So I wanted to add this one understanding as a smruti for all our disciples and followers. All your house kitchen should be open for anybody who is hungry. It should be a rule. Anybody who considers me as a Guru or God, my disciple or devotee should keep this as a vow. Keep your kitchen open. Dont cook only for you. Then obesity is the only way. If you are cooking only for you and your family and eating be sure obesity will be your lifestyle either in this janma or in the next life; thats all, now or next; obesity. Obesity is the way you will live and die. So, not only this karma, even as a great understanding about life, food should be free. Food should be free for the whole humanity. So all our devotees and disciples should keep their kitchen open to any visitor; visitor, beggar, sadhu, guest or even the animals who live around in that area, all of them should be given food."
"What is the command given by Swamiji to all disciples and devotees in positions of decision making, and what is the significance of making food a free commodity on the planet earth?","And any of our disciples, devotees, who are in the position of decision making either socially, politically or any religious leader or anybody, I command all of you to work to make the food as free commodity in the planet earth. Food should be available for anybody, any life which is breathing; which has life. When I say breathing you should not exclude trees, they do breathe. Anything which is alive, food should be free for them. Food should be made available to them. The food, making the food available is one of the greatest virtue and first virtue; first important lifestyle. All our communities, temples, devotees, disciples, our sangha, ashrams, should take up this as a command from Swamiji. Kitchen should be always available to whoever comes and open to whoever comes. And you will never have economical problem by running a open kitchen. No. You will never have a economical problem by running a open kitchen. That is my blessing to the whole sangha. Understand keep the Annapoorni available to the whole world. You will see Lakshmi showers constantly on you. This should be a lifestyle."
What is the message that THE SPH wants to convey to his devotees and disciples regarding the distribution of food globally?,"Only the decisions and decision makers who hold food without sharing it with the world, I know there are some countries, destroy food, grain, butter, just to maintain the market rate. They grow excess, too much dairy products are produced, too much grain is produced; they dump the whole thing into the ocean so that the market rate is maintained. And other side billions are either starved or undernourished insensitivity; insensitivity. So all our devotees and disciples should get into the decision making powerful posts of these fields and take care that food is available for the whole earth; whole planet. There is a song by Bharathiar. He is a siddha. He is one of the modern day siddha. Even though people criticize him for so many reasons he is a surely a siddha purusha; at least had satori experience. He sings in one song Taniyoru manidana unavillai...............Exact meaning is if there is one man going without food let us destroy this whole earth. It is not useful; worthy of being alive. If one man is fasting, if any one man in the world does not have food; why this earth. Destroy it."
"What is the simple technique to prevent overeating, as per the spiritual master?","I can say very violent, strong way of telling the truth; but he conveyed it. He is right Taniyoru manidana unavillai. Its true. And all the cultures and civilizations which do not have the habit of sharing food, I tell you just share food and eat. It is a very simple technique for not to overeat. Just have four or five people and eat, you will never overeat. Overeating always happens in the secret snacking; sneaking, snacking; dumping, dumping, dumping, keeping it under the cot, below the bed. I tell you its really, always have a few people to share food. When I say a few people not your own family; somebody outside. Have a few people you will never overeat. Its a rule. I know the psychology. I can tell you, you will never overeat. Have a lot of people to eat with you. You will never overeat. Its a lifestyle, its the mind. And same way arranging the food and seeing the food with a lot of respect, you will never overeat. Sharing will relieve you from obesity. Fear of past and guilts from past lives also is responsible for morbid obesity; thats what, depriving food from others."
"What is the relationship between stealing and obesity, and how does analyzing and healing the past impact our future?","Astheya leads to obesity. Sorry not astheya, stheya. Astheya means non stealing. Stealing leads to obesity. Stealing others food and storing it in your body what will happen. Obesity. Every moment the samskaras and experiences you add, strategic decisions you make, are responsible for your future. So analyzing your past and healing your future, learning the lessons from your past, sorry analyzing your past and healing your past and learning the lessons from past is the right and best way to create the right strategy for the future. Understand it is an important fact you need to understand; a very important truth. Healing the past means nothing but learning the lessons from past life incidents which you were supposed to learn when that happened to you. But because you did not have awareness you just dumped it's like every meal you eat you are supposed to digest and all the unnecessary fat should leave your system."
"What happens when we don't deal with incidents in our life with awareness, and instead store them as engrams in our body?","But if you don't have that much of intelligence and awareness to send them out of your body, for some reason just you pack it and dump it in your body saying that later on I will use it or later on I will see this file; that accumulated file is a fat. Same way any incident happens in front of you in your life if you just deal it with awareness so all the lessons you need to learn will become energy in you, all the things not necessary will just leave your mind; over. Its just like digestion process. But when you are not having enough awareness and patience you just dump all that incident inside as an engram and think later on you will take care. That stored engram which has not become intelligence in you is the past wounds. Now reliving them with intelligence, then naturally it will all be digested, the energy part will become energy and the intelligence and wisdom, the unnecessary part will just automatically disappear from your system. This is what I call healing the past."
What is the significance of healing the past in the context of reincarnation theory?,"Healing the past means digesting them and making them as a wisdom or whatever unnecessary releasing them from your system. This reincarnation theory is accepted in many other religions also. I have some reference. In Islam, idea of reincarnation is accepted by a few Muslims sects particularly gulag and. Some verses of Quran support reincarnation which says and you were dead and He brought you brought you back to life and He shall cause you to die and in the end shall gather you unto Himself. Oh God. Very strange but some traditions in Islam do accept reincarnation theory; even though main stream Islam does not accept. And same way I have some references, some Christian sects and traditions also accept reincarnation. I will give you those references tomorrow. Anyhow all you need to know about the reincarnation theory is healing the past when you relive them with awareness and intelligence, you digest them. Whatever is right becomes part of your life whatever is not needed leaves your system; so the past is healed. Let you all achieve and radiate enlightenment.."
How do neuro physiologists describe the process of creating mental grooves in the brain?,"Re-wiring your brain. Some of the shastra pramanas. Some truths from the field of neuro physiology. It is from a website yogajournal.com. Neuro Physiologists say - Samskaras or engrams create mental grooves in the brain like rivulets in sand that let water run in certain patterns. They say each time we react in a certain way, for example getting angry, we strengthen the power of the pathway. It is a very important truth. The more & more you react in the same way the more & more you strengthen that engram. If you are habituated to fall sick due to any stress & fear you encourage that engram of falling sick of stress & fear. I tell you if you really feel stressed or fear or anxiety, do something very actively either heavy body building or any other catharsis. You will create a new engram. So instead of staying weak, it can become a useful energy in your life. Rajas can be directly useful to you. If you have anger on somebody, just take it out in the gym on the weighing machine."
"What are some ways to release intense emotions like anger, fear, and stress, and how can these methods help create a new rivulet in the body?","Or do any intense catharsis process or pranayams like Bhastrika, kapaal bharathi, talking in tongues in Christian tradition they call Glossolalia which we call Manipuraka shuddhi kriya in Hindu tradition or loud Upanishad chanting. Take out your strength in these ways. Then you will create a new rivulet in you. When you have anger, fear, s tress you are a victim. When you carry it inside you, you are punished for being a victim. Dont be punished for being a victim. If you are a victim, release it intensely. Dont keep it inside. have these cathartic kriyas manipuraka shuddhi kriya or intense samaana balancing techniques like 108 surya namaskars or intense weight lifting, working out. Only first few days you need to create this new rivulet. Then every time this will become strengthened. So each time the river runs into the new rivulet, the rivulet becomes stronger. Same way, in your brain also you have so many rivers Ganga, Saraswathi, Kaveri. Some are wild forest rivers wild & uncontrollable. For them you need to make a dam and create a diversion. This is what I call Saadhana making a dam and diverting the wild forest rivers running inside you."
What is the biggest enemy for awakening the non-mechanical parts of your system or sadhana or enlightenment?,"But unfortunately, we have one of the biggest engram in us which is Laziness. Biggest enemy for awakening the non-mechanical parts of your system or sadhana or enlightenment is laziness. Once laziness enters into your system, nothing can be done. You will just find excuses to postpone the work. I tell you even incarnation body sometime gets laziness. For the past 5 days I am bunking my Yoga Sutras. After Dussera I am postponing my Yoga Sutras. Even an incarnation body can be covered by laziness. Then what will happen to normal human beings. Oh god. That is what I realize is maya. Laziness is maya. I am telling you even if my body can be covered by the sheath of laziness then what will happen to you guys. So understand no sympathy to laziness. It is a demon. It is equal to corrupt politicians, police officials, mafia media, rowdies and thugs + something more. If all of them put together in one form what danger they can cause that is what is your laziness. So do not tolerate laziness. The first lesson in Zen they teach the awakening of your whole body parts. Zen means Dhyaan."
"What is the primary difference between the traditional Zen practice of silent sitting and the approach used in the ashram, and how does it relate to breaking the lazy mental setup?","Ze Zen means sitting. You can very easily slip into laziness and sleep in the name of silent sitting & Samadhi. No. Zen first breaks the lazy mental set up to work on these engrams & create the new awakened life style. Zen monasteries they have a tradition even the master who head the monastery will not have food if he does not work for 8 hours physically. They have the tradition 8 hours physically and 8 hours of mental work. When you do this, naturally the other 8 hours you will rest in consciousness. There will not be any in-exhaustible engrams. So the sleep will be deep sleep. Only when you dont work 8 hours physically, mentally you will have a disturbed sleep. I tell you laziness is one of the worst engrams. It is not even an engram, it is almost like breathing. That is why I decided - anybody who leaves the ashram due to the laziness engram, I will not accept them anymore. If they have lust and leave, they can get married, learn lessons in a few years and come back. If they have anger, they can leave, go to society learn and come."
"What is the non-return zone of spirituality according to you, and what are the consequences of being trapped in it?","If they have greed also, they can leave go live in society learn lessons and come back. But if they have laziness engram, nothing can be done. No entry for them. Because the laziness is the non-return zone of spirituality. Enlightenment, videha Samadhi, laziness these are all non-returnable. This laziness. God. The first thing we need to break is laziness. Especially the early morning Brahma Muhurtha. I tell you even my body has become so healthy after I broke the laziness of the brahma muhurtha. After I started waking up before sun rise my body has become totally different. So wake up before sunrise, work out in the Nirvani akhada or 108 surya namaskars, take cold water bath and come for Guru puja. You will just break all your samskaras. Once you break one or two samskaras you will simply know how to break them. The science of breaking your mind and body you will know. You will create new rivulets. Another truth from yogaflavoredlife.com. It says Your brain has the ability to create new grooves and pathways and the existing ones will heal up and disappear if left on their own. You brain can create new grooves and pathways."
"What is the essence of initiation, and how do existing patterns heal and disappear?","Means the possibility for new life exists. Possibility for becoming new man exists. Possibility for becoming new consciousness exists. That is what we call initiation. And the existing ones will heal up and disappear on their own. Nothing else is required. You dont need to do anything else to fill the existing river. Just make a dam and divert the river. Scientist Debbie whitemore says the science of neuroplasticity focuses on how the brain can rewire itself to forge new connections and break cycles of negative thinking and acting. Patanjali very beautifully says if you are suffering from a particular engram, just create the anti-emotion. And feel that it is spreading all over your body. Release it to the cosmos through your every pore. Like if you are suffering from violence, create compassion. Then you will see a new pattern set in you. Again one more report from www.yogaflavoured.com, study done on Yoga says - the regular practice done on yoga is the perfect formula for creating new deep behavioural grooves in the brain that take advantage of neuroplasticity. Just as I was telling now, working on the body, straight away working on the body."
"What is the uncompromising way to break the laziness system, as exemplified by your personal experience of paada yaatra?","Uncompromising way breaking the laziness system. I tell you this paada yaatra that I took in my young age, it has done so much in my system. Because once you start walking in the morning, till evening you cannot stop till you find the next village. Otherwise no food, no stay. Same way the morning saadhana should be a paada yaatra for you. Now, I made this morning paada puja + message as a routine. Neither I can miss nor you can miss. Both of us are caught. Same way I will make the morning routine also. Morning 5 am I will be there and so you also have to be there. I think this is what our Upanishad says Sahana Bhavatu, Sahanao Bhunaktu Sahaveeryam Karvaa vahai - Let both of us grow together. Zen insists even the master has to work out. I was thinking why. But this laziness engram, that maya can catch anybody in the body. It is like one leg of the body is in the mud. So for that leg, you have to work."
"What is the biggest crime in spiritual practice or in the field of awakening, according to the Master?","Even an incarnation body which has been broken into pieces by so much sadhana, with all 12 strands of DNA awakened, even for that body laziness can catch up. Then I thought oh God. Even if an incarnation body can be smeared by little bit of laziness. So from today, we will have Yoga Sutras everyday in Manas Sarovar. So before sun rise to complete sun set means 5 to 9 and 6 to 7.30 both sandhyas I will be with you guys. So that we constantly work on creating new man. Understand you are not reality, you are potentiality. We need to work, work, work. Constantly everyday adding yogic body and vedic mind untiringly. One day missed is lost. One of the biggest crime in spiritual practice or in the field of awakening is this laziness. This comes & catches us in such a way that you dont even know you are caught. I tell you Guru Droha and laziness is equal. Both should be punished equally. Laziness is nothing less than guru droha. Because you will not even know that you are not doing anything. Just hanging around."
"What is the nature of laziness in the context of spiritual growth and meditation, and how does it hinder the process of opening and healing past life memories?","Especially in such a big campus, you can hang around anywhere and keep watching everything. If you are meditating consciously you are growing that is perfect. But we dont do that. It is like easy drifting and non-doing. Just there, what for. Ah just there. Laziness is one of the worst crimes. Here I have another one beautiful research. It is actually experience. As I said yesterday, we will be working next few days on this past life memory. Breaking the laziness is one of the important step you need to do to go against the flow and open your past life memories, release and heal it. Laziness can be classified in different ways laziness out of escaping mentality, laziness out of fear, laziness just for laziness. The first two can be healed by greed and making you fearlessness. But the 3rd is the most dangerous laziness. Most of us suffer with that only. If I tell you from tomorrow we will wear Yoga vastra, for the next 10 days you will not bother till you get the next reminder. It is not like there is fear or greed in this. So laziness just for laziness."
What is the most cunning crime that prevents us from re-wiring our brain?,"That is the most cunning crime. Laziness for laziness. Very very dangerous. Do not allow that laziness for laziness. Break the body & mind with intensity. You will see the real re-wiring of your brain happens. The only enemy, only reason why we don't re-wire our brain is laziness. Just laziness. I have some more researches & truths which I will share tomorrow. Of course not because of laziness but they are more relevant to tomorrow's subject. Today, first thing to cleanse the first layer of your past from the moment you were born in this life time till this moment .2nd layer is the moment you assumed your first birth till this birth all your past lives. And 3rd layer is all the collective past from when the creation began all past happenings. 1st layer your Date of birth to this moment in this life. This one week I want to work on this past. Today my message is break your laziness to re-wire your brain is the technique to cleanse the engrams of your 1st layer past. I can give 3 names."
What are the three layers of past that we will be working on in our spiritual journey?,"The 1st layer past from your date of birth to this moment can be called as past living. The 2nd layer is all births from your past lives. The 3rd layer is the collective past happenings the moment big bang happened to this moment is past happenings. We will work on past, past lives and past happenings. By January I will give an experiential workshop on past life regression so that millions of people can be helped. This truth of past lives is one of the unique contributions of Vedic tradition. Let you all break the laziness, pattern of laziness and experience the re-wiring of brain, achieve and radiate enlightenment. Blessings!."
"What is the root cause of human consciousness suffering, according to the unconscious, hypocritical social set-up?","Today Ill share the truth to make you all living enlightenment; the integrity. One of the worst problems human consciousness is suffering because of unconscious, hypocritical, social set-up is integrity - not having integrity, problem of not having integrity. Please understand. The unconscious, hypocritical social set-up, society. In Shiva Sutras, Shiva gives a very beautiful verse, very beautiful sutra, I can say, the straight solution for all the problems. Just integrate your, all your energies into one direction. Feel. Im trying to give the exact translation. Feel, every soul, every being as your very center. Understand this one idea.Its a very powerful idea, very powerful idea. That is why it takes a lot of time even to understand, get the hang of it, even get the introduction. All our problems are just because we go on trying to insist, we go on trying to emphasize that your being is separate from somebody elses being. The suffering caused to that being will not come near you. You are separate and outside your skin whatever exists is separate."
"What happens when we start separating what exists outside our skin and inside our skin, and how does this attitude of separation affect us?","One of the worst things is, first you start separating what exists outside your skin and inside your skin, but that attitude of separation, separating, does not stop there. It just gets inside your system slowly. Then even inside, you separate your intellect and emotion. You separate your emotion and being. You separate your being and consciousness. Go on separating, separating, separating, dividing, dividing, dividing. The more you divide, the more you become weak and more problems and more enemies you need to handle. I have seen some people, they feel the whole world is enemy for them. The other day, one person came and told me, Swamiji I feel this whole world, my father, my mother, my brother, my sister, my husband, everybody is sitting together and planning and conspiring against me. I thought, Oh God. What kind of a mental set-up. But I wanted to share with you an important thing. From the young age, I used to feel a very deep, strong feeling inside Me. Its like a, Vivekananda says once to his Guru Ramakrishna, Whenever I fall asleep, I feel a ball of light happening in front of me and exploding into My inner space."
"What is the nature of the experience that Vivekananda had from a young age, which was a constant inspiration to him?","I just fall asleep, fall into that. And he says, he always felt all kids used to sleep like that only. He never thought he is some way special because of that experience. He thought, not only for Me, for always everybody this is the way it is. Ramakrishna was so happy and he said, You dont know how special you are. Only normal human beings, people who can compare you with normal human beings can understand how special you are. How Vivekananda was feeling always that whenever he falls asleep, he falls into that consciousness, into that light, I have one experience. I had from the young age, unbroken thought trend, a experience, a current, not even thought trend, current, that whole world is celebrating My Presence. The whole world is supporting My existence. The whole world is supporting, fulfilling for what I took birth. This one feeling, one experience was a constant inspiration. Please understand, till now, even after this whole scandal and abuse I went through by the unconscious, hypocritical society, even after all this, somehow that strong feeling inside, that strong current inside, everybody is part of My drama, My leela."
"How do you perceive the challenges and obstacles that arise in your mission and life, and how do you maintain confidence and joy in the face of adversity?","The happening which is happening through this body is being supported by all the people who cherished so much enmity, so much conspiracy, so much of vengeance, wanted to destroy Me and My mission physically, legally, socially and character assassination and what not. Tried to poison, tried to kill, tried to threat, tried to physically destroy, what not. But still somehow unimaginable confidence, the unimaginable joy, unimaginable experience. Whenever I just relax, either into Samadhi or into rest, or into sleep, of course, you can call with the different names but I have only one thing- Turiya. Whenever I have such a strong confidence, such a clear experience, not even just ordinary confidence, just an experience. Hey, all these fellows who have cherished so much enmity, vomited so much venom on Me and My mission. And just yesterday I had one abusive email from an ex-devotee. Anyhow, even after seeing that mail, after seeing that whole thing, somehow I feel this whole thing is My own drama. This whole thing, not just this scandal, this whole cosmos, this whole prapancha, this whole universe, I have a strong feeling, just my play. And everybody is helping in what I am doing."
What is the root cause of a person feeling that everyone around them is conspiring against them?,"Everything is supporting in what I am doing. Everything is playing for My side. Still I do not feel that there is something playing opposite side. How to exist in the planet earth, that is a big problem. So one guy, this devotee when he came and told me, Swamiji, I feel my husband, my family, my brother, sister, everybody around me are conspiring against me and working against me, I could not understand. I thought, O God. What a sickness that person is carrying. Of course she is helpless. It is not that she created it. She is helpless. She is caught in it. That is the gift or punishment given by society to her. The unconscious hypocritical society constantly makes you feel threatened. The first lessons which you learn from the hypocritical society is, only if others are second, third, you can be first. For you to be first, all others have to be second, third, fourth, fifth. Means, you have to defeat everyone to win. Day one in the school this is the lesson you learn. Unless you defeat you cant win. The very system encourages the intense vengeance. The very system encourages intense jealousy."
"What is the worst punishment society gives to a human being, according to you?","The very system encourages abusing other beings. Creating distance between you and others. Making boundary physically, mentally, psychologically, emotionally. First they teach you, you, you. Then your family, then, your friends, your team, your country, your language, your religion. Everything goes on centered on you, you, you. Then anything other than you is enemy. Understand, this is the worst punishment society gives to human being. I tell you, I really feel, if some way I can reproduce that feeling which I am carrying, that everything is supporting you. I really feel even when I walk, the trees, plants, the animals, I just feel everything is supporting My mission. What for I exist, what is purpose of My life, everything is just part of it. Everything is just supporting it. If somehow I can reproduce this experience on all of you, I can say, this will be the anti-venom for social hypocrisy. Constantly in every step society teaches you unless you destroy people with other ideology you cannot live; either by hook or crook. I tell you, this is the worst thing taught to human consciousness, the greatest suffering human consciousness carries is, other than you, everybody is enemy."
"Swamiji, you logically understand how people feel enmity and how to respond to it, but you don't know how to experience it. Can you explain this difference?","Still I am not able to understand how to feel enmity. Still I am not able to. See when people talk to Me, I logically understand. Many times people come and tell Me, Swamiji whatever you talk logically I understand but I dont know how to experience it. Same way I have a big problem. I can logically understand enmity - how people feel enmity and how to respond to it, how to act towards it. All these things logically I can calculate. Or I sit with My disciples and ask them, Hey what to do about this. What to do. How to go about. What shall we do. That is the reason even with this whole scandal, I just, simply listen to the lawyers strategy. I could not make a single strategy. First time in My life I obeyed somebody at some time because I was not able to understand at all. I was not able to logically relate, experientially understand, till, what till, till now I can say. I am not able to understand logically how people will have so much of enmity for no reason. Still I have no logical, experiential understanding."
"How do you handle a situation where a so-called spiritual guru is abusing you in the press, while your lawyers are insisting on taking legal action?","So just whatever lawyers say, I say alright. What can be done. I try to educate them, No, no, no. Go as much as possible, non-violent, compassionate, just defending us, nothing else. Dont hurt anybody. Dont hurt anybodys sentiments. One so called the spiritual guru, used this chance to abuse Me left and right in the press, just fishing for few disciples in this chaos. But when you try to fish in the dirty waters, you get dirty. They dont understand. So My lawyers were insistent on Me sending legal notice. I said, No, no, no, leave it. But this guy is not stopping. He goes on commenting whenever he gets a chance, press mike in front of him, he goes on abusing. Now what to do. I can neither listen to My compassion nor listen to this lawyers strategy but still I am holding. I say, No, no, no, it is ok, leave it, dont do, leave it, lets wait, lets wait. Trust His intelligence. At some point it will be awakened. What to do. But it goes on."
What is the problem when society's hypocrisy becomes too much?,"Sometimes, the problem is, but I tell you, whatever is said and done, that feeling, whole thing just supports you, whole thing just stands for you and what for you stand. Whole thing is just fulfilling you, celebrating you. I tell you, even if it is just hypnotizing Myself, self hypnosis or some illusion, I am happy to have it. No really, I am just enjoying it. Sometime your joy and bliss becomes more important than the factuality of the ideas you carry. I tell you, because the societys hypocrisy has become too much, even you start doubting about your own experiences. I really saw, thousands of disciples who had such a strong experiences, fools, they have started suspecting their own experiences because of the social hypocrisy. See, their bio-memory is built on society, built by society. So when society just creates an euphoria, its like a, every full moon day, the ocean, ocean gets agitated, salt water gets agitated because of the moon. The energy from moon, pull from the moon, salt water gets agitated, the ocean gets agitated."
"What happens when an abusive idea is put into the social mind, and how does it affect people with weak minds?","When the salt water gets agitated, all the people who have little weak mind, their bodys salt water also gets agitated. That is why, the people who lose their balance along with the moon, they are called lunatics. Along with the flow of lunar, they are called lunatics. The pournami or amavasya comes, the full moon day or new moon day comes, they will be little imbalanced. How, when the whole ocean gets agitated, the people's body also gets agitated, same way, when an abusive idea is put into the social mind, social euphoria is created, suddenly these guys also lose their base. I know so many disciples, ex-disciples who abused Me during this scandal, now they are repenting terribly because now social euphoria is settled. They are not able to tolerate that they did this. But what to do. When the social euphoria gets aroused, their bio-memory also gets aroused and they themselves do not know what they did. Its unconscious. I feel actually sympathy for them. I dont feel angry with them, about them, I just feel sympathy, oh God what to do. Alright."
"What is the root cause of suffering in human life, according to you?","So understand, one of the important suffering human beings have in their life is, problem of not having integrity. Ill explain the integrity in different levels to you. Now I explained the problems of not having integrity. Ill explain exactly the integrity itself. The intellect-logic, analyzing, intellect, and emotion-feeling connection, the juicy part of your life and being-your very idea about you, which is constant, which runs like a thread during your waking, dream and deep sleep. During all these three states, it runs like a common thread. That is why, when you get back to waking state, you are remembering the same personality. You remember about yourself as the same continuity. This is what I call being. Understand, in all these three, there is a lot of disturbance. Youll understand the intellectual disturbance. The moment you start planning for one thing, within a few seconds, some other plan will be going on in the other part of the brain. That is why, I always tell people, disintegrated brain, right brain and left brain. Nothing is right in the left, nothing is left in the right. Nothing is left in the right, nothing is right in the left. Disintegrated brain."
"What happens when you try to make a decision on a single problem, and how many words do you use to support or oppose that decision?","It goes on and on and on in different directions. One says one thing, the other says another thing. By the time you decide this, already you see, if you take one decision using three words, already ten words are used to support the other decision. The number of words you use. Sit and analyze only one decision. Take up one problem and develop solution for that and how many words you use for and against that one solution, one problem you analyze it. You will realize nothing is left in right and nothing is right in left; youll realize it. Just one problem, take up one small problem. Today its so pleasant, wonderful day. Can I just sit in the temple and meditate. Make this one decision. You just, just decide. Just one problem. If you dont want to have this problem, pick up your own problem, or having whether to have this problem or not. Take decision on that one thing, just one thing. See how many words you use, I am not even asking the emotional strength behind the words; that you will not be able to calculate. Just number of words you use, for and against."
What is the reason behind the chaos of multiple voices in one's inner space?,"Just see, you will understand how many voices are there. Its like a hundred fellows are sitting inside your brain and talking. People sometime come and tell Me, Swamiji I hear two voices in my inner space, I hear two voices. I tell them you are blessed you have only two! :) I know people who have hundred, two hundred, not just one. There is a Upanishad which says, A Paramahamsa should not live with two persons. It says He should live just with Himself. I was really surprised. The Upanishad goes on describing. It describes, Two persons are staying in one place means it is equivalent to village. Three persons are staying means it is equivalent to city. Four people means, it is equivalent to mahanagara, means large city, cosmopolitan city. Because each fellow has hundred voice. Why do you think these reality shows are such a big success, such a big hit. Because people want to see the same chaos in which they are living. The reality shows where some 10-12 celebrities are put in one house, see actually in one house, ten people living is not a big thing at all. See in our ashram."
What is the reason behind the harmony and lack of problems among 50 people from diverse backgrounds staying in a single dormitory for 21 days of the Living Enlightenment program?,"One small dormitory, 50 people stay for 21 days of Living Enlightenment program. And all are completely from different country, culture, language, background, education, everything. And I dont hear a single problem or fight. Fifty people stay in one dormitory and most of them, I can say 99% of them are habituated for private space in their regular life. They will have at least their bedroom and I tell you, the greatest sacrifice is sacrificing the privacy. Its practically impossible. You need at least a few hours where nobody will see you. I can understand what it means abuse of privacy. But 50 people stay in one dorm but I dont see any problem, disturbance in them because of the power of that inner awakening, power of that Inner Awakening, when the inner space is getting awakened. But a normal man, impossible, impossible. That is why this celebrity reality shows - such big success. Because one person itself is too much. And celebrity means you have at least some 400, 500 voices because he is the peak of social hypocrisy. Person who is peak of intellectual, social hypocrisy becomes politician."
What is the difference between a celebrity who is at the peak of emotional and social hypocrisy and one who is at the peak of being level social hypocrisy?,"Person who is peak of emotional, social hypocrisy becomes artist celebrity; in the line of art. The person who is in the peak of the being level social hypocrisy will be in asylum; lunatic asylum. Celebrities unconsciously suffer this social hypocrisy too much. Its really too much, that is why when you put few celebrities in the, together in a house and start a reality show, you dont even need to create any trouble for them. Just put few of them together, thats enough. So much anger, so much vengeance, so much crying. You may think how I know about celebrity shows. Just the other day I got an offer from a big celebrity show, one of the international celebrity shows, 14 weeks of My time and they said, any money, any money we will offer. I was laughing. No really. What all offers I get you dont know. Karan Thapar, the strongest tongue I have ever heard in Indian talk shows. Karan Thapar personally called My press secretary. And he said, I wanted to interview Swamiji. And he says, I am ready to accept all conditions you place. I just want Swamiji in my show."
What was Swamiji's initial reaction when he was approached for a celebrity show?,"I was really shocked because he doesnt need to raise his TRP having Me. He has enough people and enough TRP and he is very popular for his sharp tongue. But he says, No. Hes the most watched celebrity now. First his secretary called then, he personally called, I want Swamiji in my show. Of course, hundreds of offers. When they asked Me about this celebrity show, this reality show, 14 weeks. I thought maybe everyday half an hour they will shoot. I didnt understand what it means by reality show. They came and told Me. I said, Okay, talk to Bhakta and fix time. They said, No, no Swamiji you dont understand reality show, first watch some reality shows. Then you will understand. When I saw, Oh GOD. It is a whole day, they fix camera and they watch and they try to boil you. But actually after watching the show I was really interested that I should take up a celebrity show, I should take up a reality show. No really, because I wanted people to see a Master's life day and night."
"What is the reason you cannot participate in a reality show, even if it offers a large sum of money?","I really wanted a reality show but unfortunately no time, no time. 14 days, 14 weeks, even my brahmachari cannot afford 14 weeks of free time. And they said any money is okay, we will give. Just give Swamijis time 14 weeks. I said, No. No question of money, it is a question of lot of spiritual classes and sessions. Well not be able to take 14 weeks of Swamijis time. Thousands of people wait every day. I heard last few days, thousands of people are attending pada puja and this darshan from around the world through web camera even now. They say more than hundred countries, people are watching even now. So, I sincerely respect the devotion and commitment and feelings of people from around the world than any money making reality shows. And the other guy, one guy came and offered that he is taking a movie on this whole scandal and he wanted Me to directly act. He offered six crore; one and half million he offered. He just said, Swamiji, all I want is 10 days of your call sheet, nothing else. I will give you six crore."
"What is the reason behind people's fascination with reality shows, where celebrities are shown to be irritated, agitated, and disintegrated like them?","I just laughed and said, I am not interested in any of this. I wanted to spend time with My people, disciples who are waiting for My message and meditation, spiritual solutions around the world. Anyhow, the psychology of the reality shows, it is just too many people inside every body's head, the disintegrated intellect. And people are also so happy to see others are also irritated, agitated, disintegrated like us. You see, people always have a fantasy about celebrities, they are not like us. But when that fantasy is broken, they feel, 'Oh they are also like us only.' So it gives a kind of a very nice feeling; ego satisfaction. See, celebrities are always projected that they are higher than you, above than you. But when you crack them, it gives you a kind of fulfillment of the violent feeling you have; the vengeance you have. 'Ah, he's also you see, shouting like me only, good'. It's a kind of a revenge. That's why in all the reality shows, the more the women cry, more people watch. The TRP goes up. It's crying that makes the TRP rate high. Disintegrated intellect, understand."
"What is the ultimate outcome of integrating one's intellect, emotions, and being?","When you integrate your intellect, it becomes knowledge, life solution, it leads you to life solution. You will understand about the cosmos. When you integrate your emotions, it leads to devotion, you will feel connected to cosmos. When you integrate your being, it leads to dhyana, you will realize cosmos. Understanding, emotional feeling connection, realization, all these three happens just by integration. Integrity is ultimate yoga. When integrity is added to your intellect, it leads you to life solution, it solves your prob; all problems of life. I can say, it dissolves all problems of life. When you integrate your emotion, it becomes devotion. When you integrate your being, it becomes meditation. You realize the whole cosmos. So add integrity and achieve enlightenment. Let you all experience and radiate living enlightenment. Let you all experience and radiate the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank You.."
"What is the significance of the 10th sloka in the second chapter of Patanjali Yoga Sutras, as per the teachings of Swami Nithyananda?","Reason and release.[..] very powerful sutra. The next Patanjali Yoga sutra, 10th sloka in second chapter. Let's enter into the sutra. Te Prati Prasavahayah Shukshmaha. Te Prati Prasava Pravasahayah Shukshmaha. Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as: The fine samskaras are to be conquered by resolving them into their causal state. Swami Prabhavananda translates as: When these obstacles have been reduced to a vestigial form they can be destroyed by resolving the mind back into its primal cause. Swami Vivethi, he translates as: These, the subtle ones, must be suppressed by a contrary course. Beautiful sutra. Te Prati Prasavahayah Shukshmaha. Te Prati Prasava Pravasahayah Shukshmaha. Vivekananda, Swami Vivekananda translates as: The fine samskaras are to be conquered by resolving them into their causal state. Ill try to give the exact truth I experience from this sutra. All the engraved memories, samskaras should be reduced to the causal state and destroyed. Understand this very clearly. It's like a thought plus attachment is engraved memory, engram. When you take away the emotional attachment from the thought - from the engram it becomes thought."
"What happens to thoughts that do not become engram through attachment or attention, and how does this relate to satoris and the power of clicks?","So when it becomes thought and if it never becomes an engram again, through the attachment for some particular time, the thoughts just get burnt away. Any thought which does not become engram through any attachment or attention or entertainment from your side slowly but surely just disappears, I tell you. Constantly you go through satoris. One simple satori is enough to burn away all the thoughts which have not become engram for maybe 21 days. Any thought which has not become engram with the attachment for 21 days just gets destroyed by one click or one satori. Please understand, again and again in you the satoris go on happening, clicks go on happening. But unfortunately the power of the clicks, satori, is not realized, is not completely experienced because almost all your thoughts added with attachment is becoming engram. Any thought which comes, your mind ... the moment he sees: Oh. Maybe this thought will be useful at sometime, at sometime it will be useful. The moment you think some thought will be useful, already it has been kept as attachment. Understand these three memories. The table memory, cupboard memory, archives memory."
"What is the difference between table memory and cupboard memory, as per the classification of engrams?","Table memory means the thoughts which you handle everyday, like your name, your spouse name, way to your office, your daily routine. Means the thoughts which are getting converted into engram every 21 hours. Every 21 hours those thoughts are getting converted into engram. Whenever they happen immediately attachment is added and it becomes engram. This is the one classification, one group. This is what I call table memory. Second cupboard memory, it's like a the files you have it on a table constantly you are in touch. The files you have it on the ... in the cupboard wherever you want you can pick it up or sign or use. Files you have in your archives. If you especially order work itll be released. So the cupboard memory is ... whenever it comes you add attachment to it, make it as engram. Please understand, understand the difference between this table memory and cupboard memory. Table memory is already became engram and you go on making it as a more and more powerful engram."
"How do you differentiate between cupboard memory, table memory, and archive memory in the context of engrams and addictions?","Cupboard memory is like it has not become such a strong engram but exists as thought, but whenever you see you may have a desire: Oh! this will be useful at sometime. Then that becomes a kind of an engram and kept. This is what I call a luxury engrams, just a simple desire for Michael Jackson music. In the initial it will not be a big engram itll not be an addiction. All major addictions start as cupboard memory and enters into a table memory. When it becomes table memory you are bound. Nothing more can be done. When it is cupboard memory much can be done. When it is archive memory you dont need to much worry about it. All you need is just burn it without touching it. Just burn it without touching it. That is why ... you see all your past birth everything is archive memory. You dont need to worry about it. Again and again people ask me: Swamiji teach us past life regression, past life regression. I tell them actually in - for the initial level seekers you dont need past life regression. You dont need to know about it."
What is the essence of the process to convert table memory into archive memory?,"It just needs to be burnt. Maybe an advanced level seekers. It's like a ... just to confirm some of the truths revealed to you by the master, some files from the past life can be re...retrieved and store - showed, as experience that's all. And that doesnt need to be compulsory for all seekers. It is not basically necessary for enlightenment. Burning only is necessary for enlightenment. Table memory, cupboard memory, archive memory. Table memory if you dont touch for 21 minutes itll become cupboard memory, Cupboard memory, if you dont touch them for 21 days, itll become archive memory, that's all. Whenever table memory happens, if you dont add attachment to it and make it as an engram for 21 hrs nothing else just 21 hrs. One full day if you dont give life to it, itll become cupboard memory. One full cycle, 21 days, if you dont give life to it, it'll become archive memory. Now the whole thing, the essence of this whole sutra is how to convert table into cupboard and cupboard in archive."
"What is the difference between life solutions and conscious growth, and can one achieve a peaceful life without conscious growth?","Understand, this process not only will liberate you from the simple sufferings and problems you have in your ordinary life, it can liberate you and give you a new consciousness. Life solutions will make your life more peaceful, because of that you feel you are consciously growing. Yoga makes you little healthy because of that you feel you are consciously growing. Devotion gives you a kind of emotional fulfillment, excitement, because of that you feel you are consciously growing. But I tell you, this process will give you the direct conscious growth, breakthrough in your consciousness. I want to tell you you can make your life peaceful with life solutions without conscious growth, that is possible. Just knowing how to handle your brother or spouse or son or daughter does not necessarily need conscious growth, just simple understanding is enough. I know hundreds of programs, thousands of programs people conduct gives you a lot of life solutions, makes your life more balanced but there's no conscious breakthrough. Same way, there are hundreds of people devoted to some concept, some idea, some person, experience emotional fulfillment, but that does not necessarily mean that they have a conscious breakthrough, no."
"What is the difference between having a feeling connection with an enlightened master and experiencing conscious breakthrough, and what are the implications of this difference?","If it is a feeling connection with an enlightened master then there's a possibility he will not let you be without conscious breakthrough he will insist this kind of powerful process and see that you have a conscious breakthrough. Second thing, an important thing you need to understand in this whole truth. Having health or life solutions means little peaceful life. Little different way of responding. Suddenly you dont have much anger, you dont have vengeance, you don't have hatred, this kind of attitudinal transformation. And you dont have headache, you don't have back pain, this kind of health transformation. And youre feeling emotionally fulfilled, excited, this kind of emotional fulfillment. Please understand, Im breaking one of the big part, important part. This all does not mean that you had a conscious breakthrough. This all can happen without having conscious breakthrough. Conscious breakthrough is not a important aspect for all these three things to happen in you. So understand. this process which Patanjali is talking here, directly will give you conscious breakthrough. Directly will give you conscious breakthrough. That's the most important thing. Thats the most important thing."
"What is the difference between the main effect and the byproducts of a conscious breakthrough, and how can one avoid mistaking the byproducts for the main effect?","See, once the conscious breakthrough happens health, emotional excitement, and this life solutions, balanced life, all of this will happen as a side effect, as a byproduct, but these byproducts does not confirm the main effect. But the main effect confirms the byproducts. So converting engrams into thoughts is one of the major process, major process... for conscious breakthrough. For a new consciousness to happen in your inner space. For a new consciousness to happen in your inner space. Understand, its a very important thing. Im just trying to explain to you all not to mistake the byproduct into the main product, main happening. The main happening is sacred, byproducts can be marketed. There's There's a big difference. Main happening happens only with the sacredness of an incarnation. The presence of an incarnation, the presence of the master. All of you need to know, when you see somebody radiating the byproducts, or you yourself radiating the byproducts, if you mistake you are... you have a conscious breakthrough that is what I call pseudo-enlightenment."
What is the problem with people who are interested only in the byproducts of a conscious breakthrough?,"You thinking you have a pseudo-enlightenment, sorry you think you have enlightenment not without having or you think somebody has, without him having both are worst conspiracies against your consciousness. Sometime the person who had a conscious breakthrough will not appeal to your mind if you are not interested in conscious breakthrough. If you are interested only in the byproduct you will be interested in the person who is showing byproducts. If you read all the Jeevan Muktha Lakshana means the. the ideas you carry about the Jeevan Muktha, a living enlightenment, most of them will be based on the exhibition of the byproducts. That does not mean the main happening has happened. I always try to define the byproducts which never happens without the main happening. That is why I am unmarketable. The people who work to spread my teachings or all those things they always, they have a constant problem, how to brand me. How to tell about me to the world. It is impossible because I am not byproduct based. I am main conscious happening based."
"What is the reason why the sacred center of the sangha and you cannot be marketed, yet you will continue to spread your teachings?","So as long as that sacred center remains as the center of the sangha and me, we can not be marketed but we will be going on spreading. We will constantly spread just by the peer pressure of the 2012. See, the 2012 creates a kind of a peer pressure. You understand peer pressure means all around, if all around people are doing something you get peer pressured, you also have to do that same thing. So that 2012 is creating a peer pressure on the whole cosmos and all masters, I am doing something come on you do. So now all masters are running around; one side Mahavatar Baba is running around another side Sridi Baba is running around Rama Krishna is running around all the guys are running around. The peer pressure gets into just because of that peer pressure, Ill be cons .. - Ill intensely spreading but I can never be marketed. It's like a people will suddenly have darshans, visions, experiences, connect, and be here. That is why all our programs are always intense and sacred based, the byproducts happens. But I go on insisting on the conscious breakthrough."
"What is the significance of working directly on conscious breakthrough in meditation, as opposed to focusing on other aspects of life such as relationships, health, or emotional stability?","This technique is on conscious breakthrough; it is on conscious breakthrough. When you remove attachment from the engrams it becomes thought and thoughts do not affect your inner space. I tell you, thoughts are like a venom-less snakes, poison-less snakes. They cant do anything, they are just there, that's all. They are just there. They are poison-less snakes. Then naturally you will have conscious breakthrough. This process, samskara dahana kriya is one of the best technique to convert the engrams into thoughts. I wanted all of you to understand another one important thing, working directly on life solutions or making your health better or making the emotional excitement stable in you, these all can be side tracks, diversions. But working directly on the conscious breakthrough is much more important than working on just having little peace in your family, little peace in your relationships, little health. Meditation is not a substitute for Anazine Metazine (24:37) Meditation is not a substitute for how to win friends and influence people. The Dale Carnegies book, meditation is not a supplement for just to keep emotional excitement. Its a direct process for conscious breakthrough."
Why does it take a long time for people to understand the importance of the direct conscious breakthrough?,"That is why to make people understand the importance of the direct conscious breakthrough takes such a long time. Because theyll ask: What will I gain. Arrey the conscious breakthrough is the ultimate gain. No, no, no. What will I gain in practical level. Means you go on associating yourself as just a body and mind. That is why you claim, you claim, you think, you feel that body and mind is the practical you. Ill tell a story from Ramayana. Rama killed three people. One Bali, another one Kakasura, third one Ravana and Kumbhakarna. Ravana and Kumbhakarna can be put together the war. The war he killed so many Bali Kakasura and Ravana and Kumbhakarna. These Ravana and Kumbhakarna can be considered as a more like a working on this life solution. Just Ravana is nothing but the head, the ego with so many problems. Cutting each head, solving each problem. And Kumbhakarna is the tamas, inertness, dullness. Destroying those things is more like a making your relationships much better and actually Rama killed Ravana and Khumbakarana to have Sita back, relationship line."
"What is the significance of killing Bali, destroying Ravana and Kumabhakarana, and killing Kakashura in the context of spiritual practice?","He killed Bali to have health, strength back to have Sugreeva means Sugreeva means the strength, strength back. So again working on health. Killing Bali can be considered more like a yoga practice. Destroying Ravana and Kumabhakarana can be considered more like a practicing life solutions. And killing Kakashura, destroying Kakashura, demon of crow, crow demon is directly destroying the engraved memories, understand. You need to understand that whole story. Crow, one of the important qualities of crow is it associates itself, the seer associating itself with the instrument. That is the definition of attachment and definition of crow. You'll be shocked that word kaka, that bird itself has defined in our tradition as; the bird which the seer getting attached with the instrument of seeing. Exactly that is what Kakashura does; he sees Sita and loses his sense. Attaches himself to the instrument of seeing, wanted to harass Sita. Understand in this one in this story Sita is a individual's consciousness. Rama is superconsciousness, and this crow is the engram. Now the engram need to get converted into thoughts. Means the attachment need to be removed. But because of the attachment only engram is harassing the individual consciousness."
"What is the significance of Rama taking away one eye of the Kakashura before destroying him, and how does this relate to the removal of attachment from the engram?","The Kakashura goes and harasses the Sita. Sita gets frightened and asks for help from Rama, superconsciousness how the individual soul gets shaken and runs for help from the superconsciousness. Then Rama intervenes. You should know a very funny thing Rama did not kill the Kakashura first. First thing he does is he takes away one eye, then Kakashura realizes his association, the seer, how he gets associated with the instrument of seeing. That is what is trying to remove the attachment from the engram. It becomes thought. And after that he destroys the thought, liberates individual consciousness from the bondage. He liberates Sita from Kakashura. And one more thing Sita getting frightened about the crow is direct engram; a crow cannot frighten a man-woman you understand. Just like you getting frightened about the cockroach, cockroach cannot kill you. But the moment you see a cockroach or lizard complete fear, why. It is an engram, more engram than reality. So Sita getting frightened about crow is more engram than reality. A crow can not kill women but it is an engram so understand. When Kakashuravada happened, Rama gives a conscious breakthrough to Sita. That is the story."
What is the significance of this place for women to have a conscious breakthrough in consciousness?,"That's the meaning behind the whole story. And all of you are aware it happened just nearby. Our banyan tree is the place where Devi had a conscious breakthrough and this hill is the place where Sita had a breakthrough in consciousness. So this is the Kshetra for women to have conscious breakthrough. Of course it does not mean men will not have, specially for women to have a breakthrough in consciousness. Actually to have breakthrough in consciousness there is no such thing as men or women but unfortunately men went on designing techniques for breakthrough, they bothered only about the male body. Very few masters worked creating techniques for female body. Reducing the engram into thought is the essence of this sutra. That's what I call Samskara Dahana Kriya. This process of Samskara Dahana Kriya by talking it out without you responding emotionally to it or a person who does not respond emotionally to it."
What is the effect of sharing an engram with a person who does not console or criticize you?,"See when you have a person who does not console you or criticize you, when you share with that person suddenly the engram goes through a very difficult space where neither a person who is uttering nor a person who is listening adding attachment to it. So the engram feels insecure, gets shivered and slowly it falls into the space of thought. It is no more engram. This is one of the powerful process, one of the best cathartic method. There are hundreds of catharsis method, where the engrams slowly can be converted into thoughts. This Samskara Dahana Kriya is a very powerful process. Have a person who is not supposed to respond. Does not judge, does not sympathize - sympathizers are tranquilizers. Anybody who sympathizes with your engram are putting you in the kind of a tranquilized mood, means they are making you unconscious. They give you the anesthetic effect. That is why you want always somebody who sympathizes with you and who gives you a kind of a unconscious support. You pick up only those kind of friends and you love to talk to them through phone or directly, you feel that they give you power. No."
"What is the effect of having people who sympathize with you, and how can you overcome it?","They are giving you anesthesia. Avoid the people who sympathize with you. They will destroy you. Because they go on, will be supporting your engrams and they will become more stronger and stronger than you.Those engrams will become more powerful than you. So do not have sympathizers, sympathizers are more like a... anesthesia. So have somebody who does not judge you, sympathize you, or respond to you, just listens to you. Go on telling all the stories, all the engrams. Suddenly youll see, when there is no response from the other side, the response from this side also drops and it becomes just information. It is... itdoes not hold any more power over you. It does not have any attachment, slowly the attachment loses. Then the engram gets converted into thought when it is just thought it is very easy to burn it just with a simple click or one satori. If it is just thought, simple presence of the master is enough itll be burnt. Nothing else is required, nothing else is required. I can say thoughts are more like a word document, engrams are more like a higher resolution pictures."
"What is the analogy between a hard disk crash and depression, and how does it relate to Samskara Dahan Kriya?","If you have a ten higher resolution pictures, that is enough. Your hard disk will crash but if it's a word document you can have million. Hard disk crash is what depression. Your inner space is filled with too many high resolution pictures. The more you're attached to it, more higher resolution it is. Converting all your higher resolution pictures into word document is what I call Samskara Dahan Kriya. Word documents does not harass, does not disturb, does not disturb, does not take away too much space. Does not take away too much space. Convert all your Samskaras into thoughts, you will see conscious breakthrough in your inner space. I am not ... please understand, again I want to tell I am not here just to give you this life solution or health or emotional fulfillment, I am here to give you conscious breakthrough. I am here to push the human consciousness into new consciousness. Transformed consciousness into the higher level so these all happen as a side effect byproduct. If people remember me associate me with my byproducts, if they remember me just by my byproducts it's disrespect, understand. It's like a forgetting the main thing."
"What is the main offering that I am giving to the human consciousness, and why is it considered sacred?","So I wanted to be associated with the direct, main offering which I am giving to the human consciousness, which is conscious breakthrough. Breakthrough in consciousness, means new conscious opening. New conscious happening. More than opening, the word happening is the right word - new conscious happening. So let us all work on conscious happening. That is why so much of sacredness I emphasize on this whole process. It is sacred. Not just replacement for the Anazine-metazine or the courses and books; like a how to win friends and influence people, no. The levitation is not just a Siddhi. Understand, I am not teaching you levitation as an extraordinary power. What is the use. Even if you fly, what is the use. There are so many flights, you can get into it and fly. Why should you waste your time in just flying by yourself. No need. It is a side effect happens as your consciousness raising. When your consciousness raises with whatever it was connected, that object also raises. Some small ripples are created in that objects, that is what is levitation."
"What is the significance of levitation, anima, mahima, lahima, and karima in the context of conscious breakthrough?","See levita - anima, mahima, lahima, karima and all is a ripple effect created in your body when your conscious breakthrough happens. When the new consciousness is happening in your system the side effect, a ripple effect, of that is the anima, lahima, mahima, karima. All these siddhis, they are just byproducts not main product now. Suddenly if you see last three, four days Im diverting your attention more to the conscious breakthrough. The levitation is just a simple excitement, nothing else to make you interested here is a candy. Now come on sit and start the conscious breakthrough. It's a candy for you and candy for the world, that's all. Nothing else. But conscious happening, conscious opening is the main goal. Enlightenment is the main goal. Somehow the moment it becomes sandhya. Even though I wanted to tell so many things I feel like more than telling - giving. Just doing. Let's do it ... mmm. Let's do it. Let us make engrams into simple thoughts and burn them. Live and radiate enlightenment. Let you all live and radiate the eternal bliss - Nithyananda, thank you.."
What is the significance of past life experiences in relation to physical manifestations and diseases?,"Rebirth - a fantasy or reality; morning satsang subject. I have some quotations and discoveries, inventions, opinions of researchers and scientists. Roger J Woolger a psychotherapist of modern age gives evidences for diseases that got cured when the past life trauma was removed. He quotes womans chronic migraine disappeared after reliving the agony of a seven year old dying from the head wounds inflicted with an iron bar wielded by her father. These are some of the direct experiences of the people who work in the line of past life; who work in the line of past life regressions. Woolger refers to the physical manifestations of apparent past life experiences as inherited structures; the physical manifestations of apparent past life experiences as inherited structures. A weak stomach may carry; a weak stomach may carry past life memories of poisoning, starvation and dysentery. He is right. If you have a past life memory of poisoning, dysentery or starvation your stomach can be weak."
What is the basic nature of a human being that leads to social conditioning?,"Not only that even if you see continuously people who starve or poisoned, having dysentery, understand even if you see, because whenever you see psychological weakness or physiological weakness the first thing you do is put yourself in that position and see. That is the basic nature of human being. That is the root of social conditioning. Please understand all social conditioning is not forced on you by society. Anything happens in society; you put yourself in that position and see what would I do if I am in that position. That is where you take social conditioning upon you. Society does not condition you. You get conditioned by society. Its totally different. See there is so much happening, really even your parents are not such cruel people to make you like this. No. They are not cruel, they are ignorant. Understand, only when you understand they are ignorant you can forgive them and get out of this conditioning. Understand there is so much that happens around. Whenever you put yourself in that position you associate completely yourself in that position."
What is the process of future planning that occurs when you feel the click of possibility to be in a particular position?,"When you feel the click, that possibility for you to be in that position exists, see when you see for example you are ten million worth as per the western language, if you think you are ten million worth whenever you see a person twenty million worth you know the possibility for you to be in his position exists. So all his good part of the life and bad part of the life you start thinking; contemplating. If I am in his position and if that good thing hits me what will I do. If that bad thing hits me what will I do. This is what is your future planning. You know the possibility, it clicks, then you put yourself in that position and whatever happens in you is called conditioning. Understand, understand this point, the conditioning, when you feel the click, the possibility for you to exist there exists, immediately you start thinking putting yourself in that position and start seeing the positive and negative. Positive and negative and anything happens in you when you contemplate on that positive and negative is called social conditioning."
"How do you condition your DNA by constantly putting yourself in someone else's position, and what are the consequences of not being rooted in yourself?","So when somebody is seen food poisoned, starvation, dysentery you always put yourself in that position. May be when it comes to the extreme of food poisoning you think no, no, no, that may not happen in my life but there is a possibility of dysentery. What will I do if this happens in me. Immediately your DNA is conditioned now. Understand not only the second layer past means, the past life dysentery, food poisoning and starvation, even in the first layer past, in past living also you catch this kind of engrams through putting yourself in that position. Actually all the calamity and chaos is just because you constantly putting yourself in somebodys position. See you dont have base on you; you dont get rooted in you. You go on putting yourself in somebodys position and the ideas which you collected about society; this is the way it should be, this is the way it should be, this is the way it should be. All are just you putting yourself in somebody elses position."
"What is the root cause of our suffering and karma, and how does it manifest in our daily lives?","When you put constantly yourself in somebody elses position and see; what will I do if that comes to me what will I do if this comes to me Oh God I think it will be great and Oh god I dont think I can handle it. These two are social conditioning, this two are social conditioning. I can see how the past life and past living are almost, I can say almost one and the same. I have to use the word almost because it is not exactly; more than 90% one and the same. All the first layer past life, past living theories will, can be adopted into second layer past life theory or call second layer theories which is worthy or which can be adopted in the past lives, will be adopted in past living. How you get conditioned by society and constantly entertain, cherish, the sufferings and the karma whether it is in the plane of economy or in the plane of physical health or in the plane of relationships you always put yourself in somebodys position and plan. What will I do. Oh God."
"What happens if you can just avoid two things as far as your awareness goes, as much as your awareness penetrates, as much as your consciousness goes?","Is it not great if I am in his position or I dont think I will be able to handle if I am in his shoes. This two, if you can just avoid this two as far as your awareness goes, as much as your awareness penetrates, as much as your consciousness goes, just see your awareness, your consciousness, your intelligence; that much you avoid thats enough. Its a very beautiful stotra. I am not able to tell you exactly verse but I can share that sentiment with you from Kabir. I am going through some of the great songs of Kabir to learn Hindi. You should learn a language only from poetry never from a prose. That is why all our vedic traditional teaching system was based on poetry. Never prose was written in our vedic tradition. In no language which took birth from Sanskrit whether it is a Tamil Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi, Bengali, Oriya, all the languages which I know took birth from Sanskrit have no writing in prose. The writing in prose has started only few hundred years before."
"What is the ideal method of teaching languages, according to the methodology of ancient times?","Whether it is a Marathi, any language you analyze, there is no writing in prose, because the methodology of teaching was always through poetry. I think eN Vidyalaya should imbibe this system. Learn more, the language teaching and learning should be based on poetry; more poetry based less prose based. Prose should be only used to explain poetry but should never be a writing lesson. Writing should always be through poetry. When you learn a language through poetry, you will be a poet. See being a poet is not just an intellectual capability, it is an existential reality. See there are some things which are not intellectual capabilities, existential realities. If there is no gap between your intellectual capabilities and existential realities you are enlightened; thats all. See whatever you are showing to the world - poetry, writing, singing, dancing or spiritual knowledge; whatever you are showing to the world if it is your existential reality, you are enlightened. If you dont show anything to the world and you dont have anything and being not having anything is your existential reality, you are enlightened."
What is the difference between intellectual capability and existential reality in the context of enlightenment?,"There are so many people I know they have not shown anything to the world, any intellectual capability and they did not have; they are enlightened. They lived an enlightened life. The mouni babas, Baul mystics, tantric saints, wandering monks, parivrajakaacharyas; they did not show any extraordinary intellectual capability to the world. They just know they do not have. Whatever they were showing is their existential reality. They are enlightened. Being a poet, being a dancer, being a singer or being an intellectual orator or being a writer should be an existential reality not just intellectual capability. When you teach a language to a child he should just sing in that language. His whole inner space should be singing. So for the sake of others to understand you can translate that song into words; thats all. But he himself should be just humming inside. When I read Kabir thats what I understood. Oh God! this fellow I know for sure never had any thoughts in his life. He had only poets in his life; because you cannot go that depth of sentiments, extraordinary sentiments, the sacred sentiments."
What is the second sacred sentiment that connects Kabirs sentiment and the concept you are talking about?,"He is expressing one sacred sentiment -Please dont appear, oh my beloved dont appear in front of me. Even remembering that you may enter my house, my eye is already come out to see you to grab your form. Never ever do the mistake of appearing. I dont know what will happen. Understand the second sacred sentiment. I expressed only one. The second only connects that Kabirs sentiment and the concept which I am talking. The second sentiment is Just because my senses are completely outside my system outside my prana sharira to grab you, there is nobody to process information and create social conditioning inside. Only if you understand the sacred sentiments, actually if you yourself have experienced at least once or twice that your senses are lost in the glory of the Master and there is nobody sitting inside doing some social conditioning and grumbling, grudging about who gets more time around Master or who gets more attention or.....When you dont have, when you yourself have experienced those few moments or who gets bigger post in the organization who is in bigger hierarchy in the organization.......See always males suffer with the hierarchy, females suffer with attention."
What is the condition required to understand Kabir's sacred sentiments?,"When you dont have that two, just by being lost, the senses are protruding, just going out of your prana sharira to grab him, to grab his presence. If you experience this for few second then you will understand what Kabir is singing; because sacred sentiments can be understood only if you had one iota of that understanding. See if Kabir sings 100 sacred sentiment, if you understand at least one unit of one sentiment as experience in you, only then you can even grab that 100 unit of his pleasure or the intensity of his sacred sentiment. This is one of the basic lesson you need to have to grab the strength of sacred sentiments. That is why, when a young man goes to Ramanujacharya he asks I want to achieve that parabhakti, devotion; that great devotion. Ramanuja asks Have you loved anybody have you fallen in love with somebody in your life. This fellow says No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, what nonsense. I am a born celibate; balabrahmachari. No, I lived a pure life. What are you talking. I came to you for parabhakti. Then Ramanuja says Relax. Go back."
"What is the first step to experience parabhakti, as taught by you?","First learn falling in love with somebody and come back. I can teach you parabhakti. Really, you need to experience at least one ray of that sacred sentiment. Actually when you really, really, really, really, fall in love even in ordinary way, what you call as ordinary way, a ray of sacred sentiment will be awakened in you even with an ordinary person; because at one point you may have to sacrifice the constant remembrance of me, me, me, me, me, which is the root of all suffering. You may have to just push that away for few seconds so that one moment you would have had that sacred sentiment experience; that one unit. That one unit is enough for you to grab what Andal would have felt with Krishna or Meera would have felt with Krishna or Manikyavasagar would have felt with Shiva or Ramana Maharishi would have felt with Arunachala. Read his Marital garland of letters for Arunachala Aksharamanamalai extreme, extreme, I dont have any word. If I have to say naked madhura bhava; a unhidden unclothed madhura bhava."
"What is the deeper or naked madhura bhava work that you have seen, and how does it compare to Aksharamanmalai?","I have not seen any deeper or naked madhura bhava work than Aksharamanmalai; the marital garland of letters put by Ramana Maharishi to Arunachala. I can never.....when I really, really started deeply understanding.....you see earlier when I used to see Bhagavans photo, his teachings, that who am I and all that, I used to have a great respect. Of course its not that afterwards I lost. A great, very untouchable respect. Oh! great Avatara purusha just sitting in a deep calmness and peace and that eternal silence under a small hut gazing the great hill and its silence being immersed in the satchitananda akhanda paripoorna brahma swaroopa; the whole understanding and relationship was great and elderly, amazing saint. Only when I read his Aksharamanamalai, the marital garland of letters, I thought Oh God. I can say in the initial level my understanding about Ramana Maharishi was respect based more Dasa bhava. When you see, he opening up himself to Arunachala and really it is a great opening up aar kavanai andanai agathidil akhilam badithidum Arunachala. For whose sake, if I have to translate very crude form you grabbed me or you snatched me."
"What is the significance of the sacred sentiments expressed by a devotee, and how does it affect the connection with the devotee and the object of devotion?","Now if you forsake me the whole world will abuse you. What a, what a secret or a personal intimate sacred sentiment Aimbula kalvar agathinil pugumbudu agathini ilayo Arunachala. You are the owner of my house you are supposed to be possessive of me but these five senses, these thieves are coming and trying to rape me are you not aware. Are you a man. He is asking iduoe aanmai Arunachala; are you a man. The greatness of the sacred sentiments is you will feel so deeply connected to the person and the object to which the person is expressing the sentiment. See for example when Manikyavasagar sings about Arunachala, Shiva it is not that when you read that sacred sentiment you will feel connected only to the Shiva. You will feel connected to Manikyavasagar also. When Kabir sings on Ram it is not you will feel connected only to Ram you will feel connected to Kabir also. Because he is letting you experience your intimacy; his intimacy with his beloved he is opening up."
What is the difference in your relationship with Ramana Maharishi before and after understanding the Aksharamanamalai?,"Same way when you know the sacred sentiments of Ramana Maharishi, it is not that you will feel connected only to Arunachala you will feel connected to him also. So my whole relationship to Ramana Maharishi got completely changed when I understood the Aksharamanamalai. Oh God when this guy when he is looking at Arunachala what he must be thinking. I used to think earlier when he is gazing at Arunachala, Oh he is in samadhi, great guy just being in nirvikalpa. This sacred sentiment of Kabir, I dont know who gave me the book; there is a beautiful book in my room Love songs of Kabir. Very, I have read at least few books on Kabir but this selection was amazing. Some of these guys Rumi, Kabir, this Manikyavasagar, Oh God. I feel just to enjoy these fellows I want to assume more and more and more bodies; nothing else just to enjoy these fellows; this Kabir, Rumi, Manikyavasagar. I tell you a man who does not know how to enjoy sacred sentiments; he is missing one of the greatest inner gadgets in his life."
"How do you think you would feel if you suddenly lost all your outer world gadgets, and what does this have to do with experiencing sacred sentiments?","For example if you guys are not having any of the outer gadgets like a cell phone, laptop and any outside outer gadgets just think of your life. If you just, suddenly overnight all the gadgets from the outer world are not there with you, how you will feel. Thats a same way these guys who dont know how to experience these sacred sentiments. They do not have the inner world gadgets. If you have the outer world gadgets you can do so many things in the outer world. Same way this enjoying this sacred sentiments is the inner world gadget. These sacred sentiment of Kabir - my senses are protruding just feeling that you may come sometime to my hut, to grab your form. But never do the mistake of coming because I dont know what will happen to me and just because of this, there is nobody inside to process information and create social conditioning. So enlightenment happens as the side effect. That is why this bhaktas dont care about gnana. Bhakta this great devotees dont care about enlightenment."
"What is the primary reason why bhaktas do not care for gnana, and how can it be made available to children from a young age?","No really, bhaktas dont care for gnana because when the senses protrude into something and being lost there is nobody to create social conditioning. So, from the young age enjoying sacred sentiment; that gadget should be made available to all our kids. Its an instruction for eN Vidyalaya and all our devotees who have kids. They should take this as a one more smruti code. So every day in my morning satsangs whenever I want I will go on be revealing this smruti codes. Let them take it. This is a one more smruti code. Our devotees, disciples, followers, who have kids should encourage, initiate and teach our kids how to enjoy sacred sentiments. Either making them listen or read or understand or work with it. There are so many ways, you can think, but enjoying sacred sentiment is a inner world gadget and more the teaching and learning process should be based on poetry as much as possible. Prose should be used only to make them understand poetry; thats all. Otherwise the backbone of the teaching structure should be poetry; so that they will learn more to be with the, live with the existential reality than intellectual capability."
"What is the first step to overcome social conditioning, and what is the second step to achieve this, according to the sacred sentiment of today's message?","So the essence of todays message is this sacred sentiment. Social conditioning happens in you when you constantly put yourself in others positions; whether it clicks with you or does not click with you. If it clicks with you, you may create fear and greed. That becomes social conditioning. If it does not click with you again there is a gap and that becomes social conditioning. Stop doing that internal process; constant chewing, putting yourself in others position; thats the first. Second; how to do. For the how to, the instruction for how to is learn to lose yourself in the sacred sentiments. Learn to lose yourself in the sacred sentiments. Its very easy it is not a big thing; its not a big thing. The moment I describe some sacred sentiment about love if you just have that secret joy inside and that uncontrollable smile, then be very clear you have the inner world gadget. You have that inner world gadget. Be proud about it celebrate you have it. Unfortunately we take this all for granted. In the world many people dont have. If you have, celebrate, enjoy. Whatever you celebrate will grow in you."
"What is the significance of creating a goal and path for not allowing engrams to accumulate in the mind, as per the teachings of the guru?","If you dont have, create; create one. Its possible it is possible. So I have given clear goal and the path for not allowing more and more engrams accumulating in you and reliving the past, relieving it in the present, reviving your future, rewiring your brain. With so much of knowledge, energy, intelligence, healing millions of people, initiating thousands of people, still some part of me is sitting like a child and shedding tears for Siva Puranam and the Devaaram. When I hear in that car or morning, morning when I get up and try to do my so called body stretching, it will be very funny if you see I will try to hold the wall and do something. I can see very clearly that wall is begging, should I stand or move, tell me what do you want me to do. Because I will be pushing, the wall feels are you pushing me, just tell me at least I will move. I will tell no, no, no, all you guys will be in your position. I am trying to do something with my body; relax."
"How does the idea of 'I am a lie, my heart is a lie, my love is a lie' relate to the state of a person with so much karma, as described in the Devaram?","Because I got my some steel pieces, dumbbells and all, the moment I try to hold and squeeze, that elements the molecules in that steel ask should I change. Tell me what you want me to do. I say no you remain in your place in your shape. I dont want that. I am trying to do something with this structure. So anyhow even during those few moments, when those sacred sentiments I hear, this Devaram only, Devaram and Thiruvasaram, at that time oh God. Yaanei poi yennejum poi yenanbum poi. See he describes I am a lie my heart is a lie my love is a lie and but vinayen anaal vinayen aludal unai perulame. Person with so much of karmas, vinayen means the person with so much of karmas, if I melt down I can have you. See I already had him I am having him so I dont need to feel melt down with this sacred sentiment. See this idea I am lie, my heart is lie, does not directly fit with me because whatever is the lie part is already disappeared and the person with so much of karma that also does not fit with me."
"What is the experience of a liberated being who has transcended the duality of seeker and attained, and can now visit the other shore of enlightenment with a sense of detachment and joy?","I dont have any karma and if I melt down I can have you. That also does not fit with me. Already I have him. I have whatever need to be had. But even then with all this, looking from the other shore, see there are two shores; a seeker and attained; advaita and dvaita. Tasting the water which runs in the other shore has always a secret taste. Sometime I wonder what is going on and it is such a sweet feeling, its like a after you became a big guy, established guy, going back to your school, and just looking around and donating them some money. See you are when you were in the school you were not enjoying, now you are liberated from it but you can go back and show who you are. Same way now you are no more a seeker; that feeling the other shore is not binding you but you can just visit the other shore and from the other shore look at this shore, how it feels. The sacred sentiments gives you the joy of all sides of enlightenment."
What is the significance of sacred sentiments in the context of advaita anubhooti enlightenment experience?,"I tell you sacred sentiments is the focus light put on all sides on a temple tower. You see advaita anubhooti enlightenment experience; like a temple tower it stands. But the focus lights put on eight directions that suddenly lights the whole tower and the whole tower is seen in a different perception. You experience the whole tower in a different way because of this few focus lights. The sacred sentiments are like different focus lights. Dasa bhava, matru bhava, sakha bhava and madhura bhava, the different, maha bhava, different focus lights to see the different dimensions of the temple tower. Extraordinary sacred sentiments, I can say sacred sentiments is the technique to clean your third layer past; big bang to this moment. Kabir. What a plane of consciousness these guys would have lived what a space they would have floated. Sacred sentiments makes enlightenment as immediate. You see whatever makes your goal as a goal for you is gnana. Whatever makes your goal as immediate for you is bhakti. Thats all is the definition. Anything makes your goal as immediate is bhakti. The sacred sentiments make the whole experience as now; immediate."
"What is the nature of the mind and the heart, and how do they change in relation to love and reciprocation?","Yaane poi yennejum poi yennanbum poi; if you just sit and see, the whole thing is true because any moment your mind can change; any moment what you think as you changes. The very idea you have about you changes. Yaane poi yennejum poi my heart is a lie; very shallow. Morning it feels love evening it feels hatred next day morning it feels agitated by evening it feels irritated and from third day every time it feels irritated and after third day no change. yennejum poi yenanbum poi my love is a lie. If there is no reciprocation from the other side it can just change and become hatred; then how can that be love. It just remains as love as long as there is reciprocation from the other side. That is why in the initial level you can practice sacred sentiment only with the master because he reciprocates. Only after that you can practice that real sacred sentiments with the deities. In the initial level you need somebody who reciprocates because any sacred sentiment in you, love in you will grow only if it is reciprocated."
"What is the process of developing pure solid love, as described in the life of Manikyavasagar?","First master will make it as; he will reciprocate, so it will grow. Then he will stop reciprocating and turn that into atma bhakti; means learning to grow in love without being reciprocated. Thats where that pure solid love starts happening. But in the beginning always the love which dies without reciprocation is the lie. Aanal vinayen aludal unai perulame but even though I am loaded with samskara and karma if I melt down I can have you, GOD\\!\\!\\. What a mood this guy would have been living; this Manikyavasagar. This sentiment is from him. He always lives outside the village. Wherever he goes to have the darshan of the temple deity, Shiva temple, usually all the South Indian town the centre will be temple and around the temple, the village will be built. He will go and have darshan in the temple, but come and stay only outside the village because this guy is in such an ecstasy he cant wear clothes. See the extraordinary joy the whole skin has become so soft he cant wear clothes. Manikyavasagar, if you see his life always he will stay outside the city."
What is the common trait between the way Swami Nithyananda and Ramakrishna lived their lives?,"Even in Tiruvannamalai he stayed outside the city in a small village. He will go everyday to temple and come back, come away. He will not stay in the city. Same way with Ramakrishna because always he was in that ecstasy he cant wear the clothes. Let you all achieve and radiate enlightenment. Let you all achieve, live, experience, express, radiate, the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you.."
"What is the inherent nature of life, and why do we experience it as bliss, even when our body is moving?","Continuously, in all of us, life is happening. That is why our body is moving; still we are able to feel we are alive. By its very nature, life is bliss; by its very nature, life is bliss. So whether you want it or not, you accept it or not, you realize i."
