It is Time for the Evolution of Humanity

"It is time humanity gets the next conscious breakthrough.

We have come a long way. Our journey is not just one life - life after life, after life, after life, after life, from amoeba - one cell - till fish.

Our evolution is a physical evolution; body evolving from fish to monkey - physical and psychological evolution; from monkey to man - physical, psychological and conscious evolution; now, man to Divine, man to Superman. This breakthrough is going to be a physical, psychological, conscious and superconscious breakthrough.

Humanity is ready for this breakthrough. It is time humanity gets this breakthrough. Understand: Either we get this breakthrough, or it is going to be global suicide. There is no question of 'or'; we cannot think of 'or'. We have to have this conscious breakthrough.

Awakening your possibilities and powers by upgrading your consciousness is the first priority for humanity now. We have seen enough of luxuries, ideas, the so-called multiple choices being taught as a freedom falsely. Freedom is the ability to handle you, not just multiple choice. We have seen enough of all this. It is time.

If the journey we have walked for so long has to achieve its goal and results, it should see a superconscious breakthrough. It is only superconscious breakthrough that is going to give completion to humanity."

-His Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda

What is Panchangam?

Panchangam is the Hindu Almanac. Pancha means five and anga means limbs. The five limbs of Panchangam are Thithi, Vaara, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana. The positions of the sun, moon and stars are used to know the quality of the astrological combinations at any given time. The elements of the Panchangam are not merely measures of time and space, but are living celestial divinities, whose daily blessings are auspicious and always benevolent.

Before every ritual, we chant the Panchagam, detailing our location on planet Earth as we record our sankalpa (intention) to the Cosmos, ensuring our sankalpa becomes a reality.

Masa (Solar month): In the Shaiva Agamas, Sadashiva mentions that among the different types of calendars, the solar calendar is superior. The months are calculated based on the movement of the sun into different zodiac moon signs (rashis). For example, when the sun is in Mesha rashi, the month is called Mesha masa.

Thithi (Lunar day): Thithi is calculated based on the lunar day, along with the rising and setting of the moon in the sky. Thithi is the time period during which the moon gains 12 degrees, or integral multiples, of longitude on the sun. In this calendar, each thithi will have a time next to it, indicating the end time of that particular thithi. After that, the next thithi automatically begins. Sometimes a lunar day is shorter or longer than the 24-hour solar day.

Vaara (day of the week): Vaara is the day calculated in relation to the seven days of the week. They are Bhanu, Sunday; Soma, Monday; Mangala, Tuesday; Budha, Wednesday; Guru, Thursday; Shukra, Friday; and Sthira, Saturday.

Paksha (phase of the moon): The waxing phase of the moon is called Sukla paksha, and the waning of the moon is called Krishna paksha.

Nakshatra (stars in relation to the moon): Nakshatra is the time taken by the moon to traverse a segment of 13.33 degrees or integral multiples of nirayana (calculation without the movement of the sun) zodiac. There are 27 nakshatras covering the 360 degrees along the zodiac.

Yoga (time measure in relation to the moon): Yoga is calculated from the sum of the nirayana longitudes of the sun and moon. When this sum amounts to 13.33 degrees, the first yoga ends. When it amounts to 26.66 degrees, the second yoga ends and so on. There are 27 yogas covering 360 degrees.

Karana (time measure which is half a Yoga): Karana is the time period during which the moon gains 6 degrees in longitude on the sun, and thus there are two karanas covering two half periods of the time period of a thithi. There are 7 karanas that repeat in a cyclical order, starting from the 2nd half of Shukla paksha, and ending at the first half of Krishna paksha chatudashi (14th lunar day of the waning phase of the moon). There are 4 sthira, or non-recurring karanas, that cover the period from the 2nd half of Krishna chaturdashi to 1st half of Shukla pratipada. It is the same way for thithi: the name of karana will be shown along with its end time.

Pradosham On pradosham day, according to the Shiva Sampradaya, Nandishwara abhishekam is conducted in the pradosha kala. Pradosha kala will be calculated with the combination of the trayodashi thithi and the sunset of the day. Many people do ritual fasting (upavasa) on pradosham day, breaking their fast after the Nandiswara abhishekam.

Chitra Nakshatra This is the most auspicious star of the celestial stars. The Avatar was born on this nakshatra. Chitra nakshatra abhishekam is done to either the Deity or the Padukas of His Holiness.

Sadashiva - The Ultimate Conscious Energy

Sadashiva, the ultimate, superconscious energy living in the universe, is the foremost, grandest of all the Gods in Hinduism. Mahadeva means ‘great God’ in Sanskrit. He handles the five sacred cosmic acts: Generation, Operation, Destruction, Delusion and is the bestower of Liberation.

Sadashiva is the Source and Creator of the Agamic lifestyle - living in the space of Oneness with the Universe - Sadashiva Himself, and manifesting the shaktis (spiritual powers), which He revealed to benefit humankind’s journey towards that Oneness. Everything available in Sanatana Hindu Dharma is to raise your consciousness and make you experience Oneness.

THE HINDU WAY OF PRAYER – CONNECTING WITH SADASHIVA

The Avatar explains the Hindu way of prayer: So’ham asmi, I am He (referring to Ishavasyaupanishad, Verse 16).

“Whenever you pray, remember: You are not praying to the Deity or Guru; you are praying to the Source where that Guru and you become one - So’ham asmi, I am He.”

-Paramahamsa Nithyananda

Manifesting The Shaktis of Sadashiva

Spiritual powers are clearly documented in several Hindu scriptures such as the Vedas, Agamas, Ramayana and the Mahabharata. These are not mere stories, but true accounts of an ancient civilization, where the expression of these natural powers was an everyday lifestyle!

In this modern age, The Avatar is reviving and initiating humanity into manifesting these powers called ‘shaktis’. Sadashiva revealed the shaktis to the world in the Agamas which are the original words of Sadashiva Himself.

Sadashiva explains the whole science of enlightenment and manifesting powers. No power is a power; it is only the confirmation of someone’s Oneness with that object. For example, if someone is able to stop the wind or make the rain shower, it is not their power over the wind or over the rain; it is their Oneness with those elements.

“First and foremost lesson, to manifest any power: power is not power over others; power is Oneness with others. -Paramahamsa Nithyananda”

DECLARE ONENESS WITH THE COSMOS - THE PASSWORD OF SADASHIVA

Chant this sacred sound, the Mahavakya, as often as you remember throughout the day. Initiated disciples of His Holiness use these Sanskrit sounds for power manifestation but anyone can begin connecting to Sadashiva with this powerful declaration:

Aum Nithyananda Mahasadashivoham

Tune your Vision to the Cosmic Vision

With The Avatar's initiation into Third Eye AwakeningSM, He raises the Kundalini Shakti to the point of the Third Eye Center; your Third Eye naturally becomes Sadashiva's own Third Eye! Once the whole circuit of Third Eye power opens up, you are ready to start manifesting his powers.

Here are the initial 7 of over 460 powers as revealed by Sadashiva in the Agamas:

1. Third Eye Reading: reading through a blindfold.

2. Remote Vision: ability to see through an obstacle or obstruction

3. Cosmic Vision: ability to see over long distances, even into space

4. Remote Vision, House Scanning: see a person or place over long distances

5. Body Scanning: ability to see the intra-organs of yourself and others

6. Mind Reading: ability to see the thought currents of a person.

7. Aura Reading: ability to see the emotional state of a person by his/her aura.

Third Eye Powers - Oneness Moves Matter

'Consciousness Over Matter' means that, from the space of Oneness, an object can be moved without your physical touch - just by connecting to The Avatar through your Third Eye!

The Avatar has been initiating thousands, both physically and online into this power. All around the world participants have been rolling coconuts using only their Third Eye!

During His childhood, The Avatar was trained by one of the great Yogis, Raghupati Yogi. Here, The Avatar describes His first experience of Consciousness Over Matter:

"One day we both were sitting and talking. He was explaining one Yoga Sutra: when you feel one with nature, nature listens to you.

I said, 'How can that be?'

He asked me to: 'Feel one with the rock.'

I just contemplated, meditated and I was feeling one with that rock: a huge boulder. When I was in that ecstasy, he just moved my hand. Suddenly, without telling me, he moved my hand. I literally saw the whole boulder rolling. I did not touch. There is no physical contact with that rock, just feeling one with that rock!"

-Paramahamsa Nithyananda
