Content: THE LION AND THE CUB
Content: I welcome you all with my love and respect.
Content: Whatever cannot be said cannot be said, and whatever can be said is not the ultimate Truth! The Truth is always an experience. But, the moment you utter the Truth it becomes a lie or a half-truth. Why? Because, the mind through which you verbalize works with a certain kind of logic, and the Truth works with an entirely different logic.
Content: The logic with which the mind works and the logic with which the Truth is experienced are both very different - which is why your mind accepts something as the truth for half an hour and something completely different as the truth for the next half hour. This puts you into a constant dilemma which makes you suffer with doubts and mood swings. Why is this? Because your mind cannot conceive the whole Truth as it is. 'Mind' means dilemma.
Content: On the other hand, enlightened Masters are absolutely free from dilemma. This is because at all times they are in a 'no-mind' zone. Right now however, even with my no-mind state, I am in a dilemma..! And this dilemma is not because of decisions to be made, but because of what I should say to you. Because whatever I speak comes from a dictionary and vocabulary very different from yours!
Content: I might utter a few words with a certain meaning but you will understand them as having the exact opposite meaning - not with just a 179 degrees twist to it, but with the whole 180 degrees! Can you now understand the Master's dilemma? Now since you are going to take a 180 degree turn anyway, let me just use the opposite words so at the end you will get exactly what I want you to receive!
Content: The fact is that somehow the Master and the disciple find themselves in two opposite corners. Crossing over is not a big deal, but bridging this gap is a huge task. If you want to cross the River Ganga (Ganges) by a bridge it will take scarcely a few minutes. But building that bridge will take many years. So the issue is not the crossing. The issue is: connecting.
Content: Everyone keeps asking me, 'Swamiji, please give me enlightenment!' Do you think I can send enlightenment to you by courier? No! The connection must happen first. After the connection happens, I do not need to give you anything and you do not need to take anything from me. There will be no giver and no taker. Why? Because an explosion will have suddenly happened, merging the giver and the taker into one.
Content: On every Himalaya trip I take up one subject for intense study. Understand, this trip to the Himalaya is not merely a picnic. Of course, it is a picnic also - you will enjoy yourselves a lot, celebrate enthusiastically and dance joyfully. Along with all this, you will offer worship in the form of pujas (worship with mantras chanted), homas (fire ritual), arati (offering with lighted camphor). But most importantly, you will also be studying the great Truths.
Page 5
Content: If this were to be a mere sightseeing trip, the crowd of devotees here would be three times the size of this one! But that I do not want. If you come to the Himalaya with me and do not experience the profound sciences developed in these sacred mountains, I feel your trip here would not be of much value to you. It would be like going to a restaurant just to read the menu card. What would be the point of going to a restaurant, reading the menu card, sitting there for a few hours doing nothing and then leaving? Wouldn’t that be a waste of time and energy?
Content: Be very clear: coming to the Himalaya and not experiencing the Inner Science or growing in the Inner World would be just like you going to a restaurant to read the menu card and going back home, that’s all. But here and now you will not just be reading the menu card. You will also be eating at the restaurant. You will be ‘eating’ spiritual wisdom!
Content: I’m sure those of you who have done our programs know well that I am a task master! See, there are three kinds of teachers. The first kind hands you the syllabus and tells you to read the material yourselves. The second kind actually teaches you the lessons. The third is the result-oriented kind, who not only teaches you what you need to know, but also sees to it that you pass the exam! Not only do I see to it that you achieve the results, but I also see to it that you work through the length and breadth of the whole ‘course’! So be prepared: our programs will be exacting and they will drive you to your very limits continuously.
Content: Let me tell you one important thing - I promise that by the time you reach the city of Haridwar on the return journey, you will not be the same person you were when you started this trip. In fact, you will be a whole lot more than the person you are right now. The conscious growth and conscious expansion you will have experienced will become part of your very being and I assure you this will start happening in you.
Content: On every Himalaya trip a subject is selected for discussion. For the first trip we chose the three major Upanishads: the Isa Upanishad, the Kena Upanishad and the Katha Upanishad. What does the word Upanishad mean? Upanishad means ‘sitting’. Understand the translation of the word ‘Upanishad’. It just means sitting, nothing else. Merely sitting in the presence of the Master does the entire task!
Content: The Master is like ‘dynamite’ - ‘dynamic’ and ‘diamond’! You see, every stone has an element of diamond within it. All we need to do is sharpen and polish the stone so that the diamond emerges. In the same way, in every one of you exists enlightenment. In every one of you exists nitya-ananda - eternal bliss.
Content: What will happen if you bring a large stone under a rotating diamond blade? The stone will be chiseled and polished thoroughly and everything else will be taken away except for the diamond part, am I right? In the same way, when you enter into the presence of a living Master, everything false will completely disappear. All your ‘tumors’ will vanish on their own. Whatever the stone may be, when a dynamic diamond is brought to that stone, it will eliminate all but the part of the stone which is the diamond.
Content: In the same way, when a living Master comes near you or when you are brought near a living Master, everything else in you will be torn to pieces and dissolved, except the
Page 6
Content: nithya-ananda, 'eternal bliss'. That is why I say that the Master is a master surgeon who removes everything, allowing no tumor to remain. The Master knows when you try to hide something. Nothing can be hidden from the Master. He will instantly pick out what you have hidden. If you hide yourself in a corner, he will catch you and you will not know how he managed to catch you. You will simply see it happening in you, that's all!
Content: The Master does not even need to speak. One look from him is enough. With just one look he can start the process within you. With one look, he can shower love on you and make you feel you are in heaven. Understand, just one look is enough. Nothing else is necessary because the Master is intense energy.
Content: As I explained earlier, the word Upanishad means 'sitting'- it means sitting and nothing else. When a disciple sits in the presence of the Master the same experience which happened in the Master is reproduced in the disciple. The disciple who experiences the Master and within whom the Master has been reproduced, writes down his recollections on how this process happened. The disciple writes an account of how the experience was reproduced in him: what happened to him when the process began, how it ended and what happened to him when it ended. This report is referred to as an Upanishad.
Content: During the first Himalaya trip, we went deep into three Upanishads: Isa, Kena and Katha. During the second Himalaya trip, we discussed the guru-disciple relationship - a beautiful subject. I have named this need for the guru-disciple relationship the Nithya-Upanishad - the eternal Upanishad.
Content: Now on this trip, the third Himalaya Yatra (journey), I will talk to you on the subject of my divine and spiritual experiences. Understand, with these discourses I am laying before you all my divine and spiritual experiences right from the time of my birth.
Content: You may well think, 'How am I going to benefit from Swamiji's experiences?' Let me illustrate this with a beautiful saying by Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita 'If you know My life, if you know the nature of My life, you will not experience death. You will be liberated.' It may surprise you to hear this, especially when Krishna says, 'Know My nature and you will be liberated.' You are likely to be incredulous and wonder 'What is he talking about?' or 'How will I be liberated merely by knowing his nature?'
Content: Let me tell you a small story to illustrate this - you may have heard this story from me before but I love telling stories and never miss a chance to tell one! This particular story has such a wonderful metaphysical expression. I enjoy telling it again and again.
Content: This story is about a pregnant lioness who is about to give birth. She wanders around in search of food. Suddenly she comes upon a herd of goats - you know those animals with four legs, one tail, two horns, which make the sound 'baa, baa...'? Now I think I have created the right visualization in you! See, I used the right language to reproduce the visualization which is in my head in yours! Whatever is in my head has been transferred into yours.
Page 7
Content: Whenever a person reproduces visualization from his head into another person's head, he becomes an orator. The method through which an orator works is language. When one person can reproduce the same experience of his being in the being of another person, it is called enlightenment. The method for transferring this experience is meditation.
Content: The person who can reproduce in your head the visualization in his own head is a teacher, an acharya. The person who reproduces in your being the experience of his being, is a guru - a Master. This is the difference between a teacher and a Master. A teacher reproduces visualization; a Master reproduces experience.
Content: Now let us continue with the story. The lioness tries to attack the herd of goats in order to get some food. She lunges at her prey, but does not manage to make the leap. The strain of it proves too much for her, and there and then she gives birth to a cub, and dies.
Content: The tiny lion cub cannot open his eyes, so he just makes some sounds and rolls around on the ground, not knowing what to do. The goats see the helpless cub and feel compassion towards it. You may think - how could goats feel compassion towards a lion cub? Understand, when the enemy is not going to disrupt or hurt you, and if you do not feel threatened by it, you will feel compassion even if the enemy is against you by its very nature. In the same way, since the goats do not feel threatened by the lion cub they start showing love towards it.
Content: In the treatise Patanjali Yoga Sutra, the renowned Master Patanjali says, ‘Ahimsa varishtaya vairagyaha’. In one of the wonderful commentaries on the Patanjali Yoga Sutra, the commentator explains this line as, if you are established in ahimsa, non-violence, even animals will not fight when they are in your presence! Your presence will radiate non-violence with such intensity that animals around you will not fight with each other. This means that when you are not a danger to anyone, whenever your presence does not threaten anyone, you will not be threatened by anyone as well.
Content: Let me be very clear: unless you threaten people, they will not threaten you. If ever you feel threatened by someone, the first thing to do is to introspect. Contemplate on the reasons why he or she could be feeling threatened by you. Once you find out, eliminate this from your life and you will never either be a threat or be threatened by that person ever again. If you feel threatened by anyone, or if you have an enemy, the first thing to do is to look deep within yourself and determine how you are threatening him, how you are disturbing his vested interests. Work on this and remove it. He will never threaten you again. You will simply see the threat disappear.
Content: All beings on planet Earth are established in non-violence by their very nature. Understand, because you love yourself you have an innate tendency to love others. By this same nature you also have the instinct of self preservation and compassion for other beings.
Content: So you see, in this story the lion cub is no threat to the goats. They sense the cub is not going to attack them and because of this they are able to express compassion towards it. They take him into their fold and look after him, bringing him up in the manner they
Page 8
Content: know best - they show him how to eat grass, drink goat milk, live like them and even teach him how to bleat like them!
Content: The lion cub also begins to pick up the body language of the goats. Right from his birth no one has ever told him he is a lion, so of course he has never known this. And so the cub grows up, continuing to live like the goats. The goats themselves are quite comfortable with him being in their midst.
Content: As the lion cub grows, he begins to express his strength in a manner that comes naturally to him. When other little goats fight with him, he hits them with a strong blow. 'This fellow is hitting us' the young goats complain to the mother goats. The mother goat does her best to patch things up between them by consoling the young goats and advising them to forget about the fight.
Content: One day a lion attacks the herd of goats. The frightened goats scatter in different directions. The lion then sees a lion cub running away with the goats, bleating like them. The lion cannot understand why the cub runs away upon seeing him and why he is bleating like the goats.
Content: The next day the lion returns, this time it is not to hunt but to get a hold of the young cub. When he spots the cub he creeps up behind him and catches hold of him. The moment the lion catches hold of the young one, the cub starts shouting, 'Let me go! Let me go! Baa, baa...' The lion growls, 'You fool! Don't be afraid. I am not going to kill you. Don't you know what you are?'
Content: The cub cries, 'I know I am a goat. Let me go! Let me go!'
Content: The lion says, 'You fool! You are not a goat. Don't be afraid of me.' But the young cub manages to get free and runs away.
Content: The next day the lion comes back again. He catches the lion cub once more and this time he holds him firmly. Understand, the first time the cub escapes is like you running away after the Life Bliss Program Level 1! (LBP-1, also called Ananda Spurna Program/ASP). That first time the lion had said to the cub, 'Hey! You are not a goat. Don't you know what you are?' And the cub had answered, 'No! No! I am a goat! I am a goat!'
Content: The second time is what happens in the Life Bliss Program Level 2! (LBP-2 - also called Nithya Spurna Program/NSP). The lion does not just stop at saying, 'You are not a goat.' He also tells the young cub what he actually is: 'You fool! Understand this - you are not a goat, you are a lion!'
Content: This time around, you begin to suspect the Master: 'I think this 'lion' is trying to brainwash me to make me do the LBP Level 2 (or NSP). Maybe he will take away some of my money or my life or something else. Why else is he wasting these precious hours on me? He conducts the NSP for four whole days. Who on earth will give so much of his time to me without expecting something in return?'
Page 9
Content: Hearing the lion telling him he is a lion makes the young cub think, 'No! I have known from birth that I am a goat' and he starts bleating 'Baa! Baa!' louder than before. In one part of the young cub's mind is the struggle to escape, but in another part his mind he feels good at being touched by the lion. The soothing, comfortable feeling of the lion's touch awakens something deep within the cub. The lion merely lets the younger one go with these words, 'I will come again tomorrow. But this time I am not going to catch you.' So saying, the lion goes back into the forest.
Content: The lion cub stays up the whole night thinking conflicting thoughts. At first it is, 'I cannot accept what the lion said to me'. But then he thinks, 'I think there just may be some truth in what the lion said.' And then again he thinks, 'No! No! No! I don't think whatever he said is correct. I know I am a goat. I have known it from birth. And what he says does not make any sense to me. He is just lying for his own means!'
Content: Understand, the lion has penetrated the cub's mind in a manner beyond the cub's logic. Let me be very clear, if the presence of the Master affects you beyond your logic, the Master in you has already been awakened! You cannot feel connected to the lion unless the lion in you awakens. If you feel some ecstasy, some comfort, through the touch of the Master - the lion so to speak - and if you try to recreate again and again the same feelings evoked by your memory of the lion, even if it is through visualization, be very clear, the lion has touched you deeply! A part of you has already started feeling soothed. A part of you has already started feeling there is something in what the Master says. You start wondering, 'I may not be able to understand or accept whatever he says, but there is something about him. You think, 'Can I please hang around him just a bit longer? Can I have one more energy darshan? When is the next energy darshan?'
Content: The next day when the lion comes, the young cub is standing there waiting for him. This is the manner in which disciples await the Master at the time of the Healer's Initiation! But then, the old fears resurface: 'Oh! Now do I have to start a healing center?' 'Will I have to change my life style?' 'What should I do?'
Content: The young cub stands patiently at the edge of the forest, looking out for the lion. However, when the lion appears the young one starts walking backwards away from him toward the herd of goats. Surprisingly, he does not at the same time turn his face away from the older lion, lest he misses out on the sight of him! He steps back slowly saying to the big lion, 'You stay where you are and I will stand where I am now. We can still talk. It is true that I am not able to forget you. But let us keep this distance between us.' The lion replies, 'That is all right with me. You stay where you are. Now, let us talk.'
Content: The lion goes on to say, 'Understand, you are a lion! You are ignoring your true nature by trying to be something else! Look carefully and you will see the difference between yourself and those goats.'
Content: The cub cries out, 'No! No! How can that be? I eat the same grass as them. I live exactly as the other goats do.'
Page 10
Content: This is like you saying, 'How can I become enlightened? I am a grihasta - a householder. I am married. I have so many responsibilities. I have so many problems to deal with. I have so many samskaras or engraved memories. What can I do?'
Content: And the lion retorts, 'You fool! Understand this very basic thing. See for yourself: no other goat is attached to me. No other goat is waiting for me. Only you are waiting for me. Understand that this alone can show you that there is something happening within you. You do not need to wait for me here. Come with me to the river nearby and look at your reflection in the water. You will be able to see your face... and mine.'
Content: This is like the Master saying, 'Why don't you come to the Himalayas with me? I will show you in the river that both my face and yours are the same! I will show you that, and something more!'
Content: But then you tell yourself, 'No! No! No! Who knows what will happen to me! He could hypnotize me. I may go to the Himalaya and be left there. No! No! No! No! I don't want to go with him.'
Content: So you tell the Master, 'Let us just stand here and talk. You stand where you are, I will stand where I am. You say whatever you want to say. I will stay right here and listen. It is not me you know, it is my mother - she will not allow me to go any further.'
Content: This is like saying, 'My wife will not let me go' or 'I have too much work to do' or 'I will not get vacation time' or 'I suffer from back pain' or 'I have difficulty in walking.' There are so many reasons you give the Master as to why you cannot accept the fact that you are a lion.
Content: Then the lion says, 'All right, this I will tell you: I can show you your true self in the river - your face and my face together - and prove to you that you are me. But I will not force you. I will return after one week. If you are ready, come back to this place and wait for me and I will take you with me. If not, just forget me. Do not even try to remember me, just get lost.' With this ultimatum the lion leaves.
Content: I don't have to describe to you what the lion cub went through for that one week. In the same way, when you are away from the Master, you know what you go through! You yourself get tossed between extremes. Some of the time you are 'for', and some of the time you are 'against'. You oscillate between one side and another. You check the ashram website again and again. Whenever you open your laptop or go to your computer, the first thing you do is to check the website. Then suddenly you think, 'I should not be looking at all this stuff. I am getting far too involved in this. I don't know what he is doing to me. I seem to keep running after him. I can't understand what is happening to me'
Content: The very next moment you begin to think, 'No! No! No! He is a really wonderful being, an ecstatic person.' But then again, you fall back to thinking, 'What he is saying is too much for me to digest. I cannot deal with all this. That is not for me. It is taking too much away from me. I am content as I am right now with my car, my house, my wife, my job...'
Page 11
Content: Then you start thinking, 'Maybe I will just check out the website.' Sitting in front of the computer looking at the website you think, 'What is this? These fellows have not updated the website. So many days have passed and they haven't posted even one new entry. What have they been doing all these days?' And you check out the website several times that day.
Content: How many of you have felt disappointed - even once - when the Mission website has not been updated? Be very clear, it is not that so many days have passed and that the website has not been updated. It is that you checked it so many times in just a few hours! If you look closely you will see the same thing that was happening to the lion cub has happened to you too.
Content: Let us get back to the story. One week is finally up. The day of the ultimatum has come. As promised, the lion will be waiting that morning. Up to an hour before the appointed time the young lion's mind sways from side to side.
Content: Now in your case, you either buy the ticket for the Himalaya trip, or postpone your decision to go. You may even sign up for the trip and then cancel! Your mind switches from one decision to the other. On the one side all your social and work commitments compel you. On the other side the beautiful, soothing feeling that happened a long time ago is pulling you.
Content: Both these disparate feelings stand by and watch you tossing from this side to that. So what do you do now? On one side is your identity. On the other side is the experience of bliss. Both pull you in opposite directions. You feel stressed, being thrown from one side to the other. Finally, something clicks inside and you make a quick decision just in time to board a flight to Delhi! (This discourse was given in Delhi.)
Content: And the Master, the lion, is there standing with his trishul (trident)! All these days the lion was doing only the namaskar (greeting with both palms joined). Suddenly you, the lion cub, see him standing there. The 'lion' welcomes you, 'Oh! So you have arrived! Come! Come!' And the lion, the Master, starts his talks by saying in his socially polite manner, 'I welcome you all with my love and respect...'
Content: Back to the story - as the lion and the cub set out for the river they begin to walk closer together. Alarmed, the young cub says, 'No! No! You stay where you are. You just explain the path to the river to me. Please do not walk so close to me. I can walk to the river on my own.'
Content: Slowly, very slowly, the lion starts telling the younger one stories about when he himself was a cub himself and how he grew to become a fully grown lion. Listening to these stories the cub gets so engrossed he forgets to keep the distance between the two of them, and he starts interjecting, 'Is that so?' 'Is that how it happened?' 'Did you also have all these problems?' and so on!
Content: And without the cub realizing it, the lion has slowly come so near that he is now holding the younger one's hand as they continue their walk! When the young cub does notice, it does not bother him one bit - the gentle grip on his hand is so relaxing, so he does not comment on it. The lion continues talking and the young one says, 'Oh! That
Page 12
Content: was nice... that was interesting...' and is not aware that the hold has become a bit firmer, so engrossed is he in the 'small stories' he is being told about the lion's early days.
Content: They soon reach the river and the lion suddenly lets go of the young cub's hand and pounces on him, catching him by the neck. The young lion now knows there is no escaping - and is stunned to realize he does not want to escape! Understand this: the cub knows that not only can he not escape, but that he has absolutely no desire to do so!
Content: But then, a little ego hiding in a corner of his mind torments him and he says, 'No! No! Let me go! What are you doing to me? Why are you holding on to me?'
Content: So now you know what happens to you when you attend a Nithyanandam program!
Content: The cub still has some fear in him so he asks, 'What are you doing to me? Tell me please, what are you doing to me?'
Content: The lion replies, 'I am not doing anything to you. Just look into the water.'
Content: The cub looks into the water and says, 'Okay, so I am looking into the water.'
Content: The lion then asks, 'What can you see in the water? Can you see two forms?' The cub replies, 'Yes.' The lion says, 'Well, one lion is me and the other lion is you.'
Content: The young one repeats, 'Two reflections: one mine and the other yours.' But, paradoxically, the very next moment he hesitates, 'May be not! No! No! No! Both the reflections in the water must be of you!'
Content: The lion responds, 'You fool! Look! I am raising my hand. See which reflection is raising a hand?'
Content: The cub points to the reflection in the water and says, 'Only that reflection is raising its hand.'
Content: The lion then says, 'Okay, now you raise your hand.'
Content: The big lion telling the young one, 'Raise your hand' is like me telling you 'Be un-clutched!'
Content: The lion cub raises his own hand, looks at the reflections in the river and cries out, 'Yes! Yes! Yes! I see! I see!' Then in a small, confused voice he asks, 'But... I am no lion! Am I not a goat?'
Content: This is like when you say in reply to my 'un-clutch' command, 'Un-clutch? Who can do this! Master, it is impossible! No! No! No! LBP level 2 is enough. Please, no more!'
Content: The lion then says, 'I am not here to play with you.' That is when a feeling of ecstasy begins to well up, bubbling within the young cub. He senses something incredible is about to happen.
Content: But then his mood goes on a down swing and he begins to deny this feeling, 'I think I have been hypnotized. This is not my true nature! Something has happened to me. This
Page 13
Content: is not me. I have never lived so blissfully, so joyfully! This is not me! He is doing something to me. He has already done something to me.'
Content: The lion cub still resists. He struggles to escape, but it is only a half-hearted attempt on his part - an act really, for he actually has no real desire to escape. 'No! No! No! No!' he exclaims, 'Let me go! Let me go! I know that you are a lion. You are such a charismatic person! Such a wonderful being! I will worship you and do puja (worship with mantras chanted). For you I will bring the grass which I eat everyday. I will bring the milk which I drink everyday as an offering to you. I will devote my time in serving you.'
Content: This is like you telling me, 'I will start a healing center and give healing in your name. I will run an ashram. I will do whatever you want me to do...only please don't tell me to be un-clutched! Just let me be!'
Content: Finally the lion thinks, 'I should now leave this fellow. He can do only this much.' So thinking, he says, 'All right, be very clear: tomorrow, I will not come back here to escort you from the boundaries of this forest. I will be in my own abode. If you want to see me, find out my address and come on your own to meet me there. I have no time to waste by coming all the way to your pasture to escort you out of here. And if you don't want to come to me with your own effort, just get lost!' The lion says this and leaves.
Content: This time the young cub does not run away. He walks back very slowly. He does not want to go, but on the other side his mind keeps goading him to walk back to the herd. Three legs of the lion cub do not move. Only one leg does. Tears begin to fall from his eyes expressing his sadness at this farewell.
Content: This is like the Master boarding a plane and you standing there not wanting to say goodbye. But then you start walking away slowly consoling yourself, 'I accept I must go back. I have to do my duty. I must take care of my goat mother. She is the one who brought me up. I am indebted to her. What else can I do? I will stay there and everyday I will bring grass to give the lion. This way I can have both the lion and my mother. Then I will not feel guilty.'
Content: The next day the lion - the Master - is in his ashram, seated in a majestic pose in the Laughing Temple or in the Ananda Sabha (the large hall in the Ashram). Slowly, very slowly, the young cub approaches him with freshly-cut green grass thinking, 'This is the best grass available anywhere' and sets down it in front of the lion saying, 'Please accept this offering I bring you.'
Content: The lion watches and thinks to himself, 'All right, if I take this grass this fellow will feel connected to me. He might even allow this relationship to become more intense. Through this he might feel more connected to me.' Even though a lion never eats grass, he picks it up and puts it in his mouth and starts eating. He praises the cub saying, 'This grass you brought for me tastes very good!'
Content: The relationship starts deepening between them when the lion begins to eat the grass. Understand, the lion comes down and eats grass only to be able to bridge the gap
Page 14
Content: between the young cub and himself. Even though he never really eats grass, he acts as if he is eating it and loving it.
Content: The Master gives you words of encouragement, 'Very nice! You have done a great job. You are running such a beautiful center! You are doing so much work for the Mission! Nice! Nice! Carry on! Keep doing this!'
Content: And slowly the relationship grows. Sometimes when the lion tastes the grass brought by the cub he shouts at him: 'You fool! Don't you know which type of grass you should bring to me? Idiot! What kind of grass is this? By now you should know what I eat. Next time bring me the right grass.'
Content: The lion cub begins to think, 'He is getting angry. I also get angry sometimes. Hey! I can relate to him. He is speaking my language and I can speak his language. He is just like me!'
Content: When the lion says, 'You are not a goat', he is in the role of a teacher. And when he says, 'I am a lion, you are also a lion. You are me', he is in the role of a Master. And when he eats the grass he is offered, he is an avatar - an incarnation. Understand, when he comes down and assumes innocent, simple ways to make the other lions feel comfortable within themselves, he is an incarnation!
Content: I always tell people, sacred ash pouring out of my photograph is not my glory. No! That is not my glory at all. When I put sacred ash on your forehead and when I am playing with you, that is my glory!
Content: When the lion eats the grass, he comes down from his level, from his plane, from his consciousness, to connect with the cub. The cub feels very comfortable. It can now connect with the lion.
Content: Now the cub decides, 'I must bring the right grass and fresh milk next time. I must do things the right way. Maybe I should have the grass packed properly. I could even bring hot milk in a flask.' The cub makes plans, thinking he has been fired by the lion because he did not do his work properly.
Content: Fools! They don't understand that even if they do the job properly, they will still be fired by the Master! There is no one living around the Master who does not get fired. Whether you do the job or not, you will be fired! That is the bottom line.
Content: Let me be very clear, never think you will not be fired if you are efficient. You will not be fired only if you are afraid. When people are afraid of my firing, I just give them a little time to open up some more. Otherwise, whether you are efficient or inefficient is immaterial. You will be fired.
Content: This is how the relationship starts happening between the cub and the lion. Now the lion cub feels free, and starts coming to the forest to see the lion whenever it feels like it. The cub feels very comfortable around the lion, very relaxed. It does not know the 'master' plan of the 'master' lion.
Page 15
Content: One day when the cub comes as usual with grass and milk, he sees the lion sitting at the table with a large plate in front of him with some food on it. The moment the cub sees the food he gets frightened and starts shouting, 'Why do you have meat on your plate? What is this? Are you a non-vegetarian? I did not know you are a non-vegetarian. You are such a loving and charismatic person. You cannot be a non-vegetarian! You eat all these terrible things! I am a vegetarian! I can't digest this!'
Content: Understand: in the same way, when you resist the Master, it means you feel he has done something which is not acceptable or understandable by your own logic.
Content: This time the lion does not take the time or energy to explain. He simply catches hold of the neck of the cub, picks up some pieces of meat with his paw and forces it into his mouth. The moment the meat enters his mouth and the cub tastes the blood of an animal, something suddenly starts to happen within him. The cub cannot understand what is going on. The cub sees the lion in the mirror holding his neck. And he sees the meat in his own mouth with blood flowing out. The cub has tasted meat for the very first time! This is what happens in your first experience of satori, bliss! When you experience it, you will understand!
Content: Once he tastes meat, the cub lets out a roar like a lion! He starts roaring, pronouncing his true nature. He begins expressing his true nature. Now the lion looks straight into the eyes of the cub and says, 'Tat tvam asi' - That art Thou - you are That.' The initiation has happened. The lion becomes a lion. That's all. The lion who thinks he is a goat becomes a lion.
Content: You are a lion, not a goat
Content: Understand, you are neither man nor are you your identity as you think it. You are very much like the goat. In fact, you are the goat. Look at me and understand: I thought I was a goat and look at the way I became a lion. Just take a close look at my own life and then you will understand. You will understand how foolish you were to think of yourself as a goat, and you will automatically become a lion.
Content: This is what Krishna means when He says, 'When you understand My life you will be liberated.' A liberated man's life liberates you because it shows exactly where you stand. The liberated man too was ignorant once and stood in the same place you are standing in now. This gives you the tremendous courage you need to swallow raw meat - to taste your inherent nature that is bliss, and to start roaring instead of bleating. When this experience happens, instead of bleating you will start roaring.
Content: How long did it take for the lion to realize it was a lion? Hardly a second! The moment the meat and the blood went into his mouth it started roaring. But remember how long it took just to get the meat into the mouth of the cub!
Content: It takes time to build a relationship with me, to come into my cave. Ananda Gandha is my cave, my 'hridaya guha', the cave of the heart. The relationship, the bridging needs to happen. That is why it takes some time. Enlightenment itself does not take time. The bridge, the trust to transmit, that experience takes time.
Page 16
Content: Until now you have only trusted your senses. I will now explain to you the three categories of surrender: surrender of the intellect, surrender of emotions and surrender of your very being.
Content: The first: surrender of intellect means trusting the Master's intellect more than your own intellect. This is just intellectual surrender. At this stage, you follow the lifestyle that the Master shows to you.
Content: The second: trusting the Master's emotions much more than your own emotions. This means trusting that the relationship with the Master is the ultimate relationship, more than any other relationship. If God appears before you and asks you to choose one person on planet Earth as the only other person who can be alive except you, who will you choose? If you choose the Master, then emotional surrender has happened to you.
Content: Of course, the Master can never be destroyed, but that is different! Never think that just because you choose him he is alive! He will be alive whether you choose him or not.
Content: If you feel that your emotion towards the Master is stronger than any other emotion, then emotional surrender has happened in you. Be very clear, 99% of the people remain in the first level. Only 20% to 40% out of these people move deeper to the second level. The rest remain standing where they are.
Content: Then there is the third kind of surrender, the surrender of senses. In Krishna's life there is a beautiful incident. After the Mahabharata war, when Krishna and Arjuna are relaxing, Krishna says, 'Aye! Arjuna, look there, there is a green crow!'
Content: Arjuna says, 'Beautiful! A green crow!'
Content: Krishna says, 'Fool! It is black, not green.'
Content: Arjuna says, 'Yes Krishna! It is black, not green.'
Content: Krishna asks, 'What has happened to you? When I say green, you say green. When I say black, you say black. What is going on with you?'
Content: Arjuna says, 'Krishna, let me be honest - I don't know what color that crow is. But when you said green I saw it as green. When you said black I saw it as black. I know nothing else!'
Content: Arjuna trusted Krishna's very senses. He trusted the Master's senses much more than his own!
Content: As of now, you trust your senses. According to your senses who are you? You are a man or a woman. You need to eat at a particular time. You need to sleep at some other time. You need to do some other things at certain times of the day. This is the force of habit. You have many identities like 'this country', 'this city', etc. This is what you are according to your senses. You feel you are nothing but your identity.
Content: But according to the Master, you are God! According to your senses you are a human being, but according to the Master you are a spiritual being! As long as you trust your
Page 17
Content: senses, you will be a human being. You will trust only that identity. When you trust the Master much more than your senses, suddenly you will realize the Master's words.
Content: Your senses say you are a human being. But I say you are a spiritual being. If you trust your senses, you will trust yourself as a human being. If you trust your Master you will experience that you are a spiritual being. That shift is what I call the 'cognitive shift'. For that shift to happen, catch the meat - just swallow it and roar, that's all! In seconds, the bleating will become a roar. That moment of transition is the moment of cognitive shift.
Content: Krishna says, 'When you know about My life, you will be liberated', because when you listen to his life story, the cognitive shift will start happening in you. That is the reason why this time I choose to show to you my divine and personal experiences from my very birth.
Content: Now you need to prepare in a few ways. First, be completely open. Do not be frozen. Understand that life is a lot more than logic. May you all be completely open and aware.
Content: Second - and this is an important point: do not come here with a locked muladhara chakra. By this I mean, do not come with expectations and fantasies about the Master. If you have any ideas about the Master when you come to me, I will be the first person to break them!
Content: You may have seen me serving breakfast this morning to all the people gathered. People were stunned to see me doing this! I was sitting near the hot burner serving one and all. Some were amazed because only just ten minutes earlier I had blasted them for a task they had not completed. I appeared like a real Master to them at that time. The same person who shouted at them just ten minutes earlier is now sitting under the hot sun serving them food! It will be simply boggle your mind to digest the multi-dimensional emotions of the Master.
Content: I always tell people, prepare your self before going near the Master! The space of the Master will be mind boggling. He will be so alive, so exciting and so intense that you will lose your identity, even forgetting that you ever had an identity at one time.
Content: This is how the cub felt when he became a lion. For him, it had become a faint memory that once upon a time he ate grass, drank goat milk and played with goats. In the same way, once you have met the Master, your old identity will be stored only in your archival memory. In this archive your identity will be found. And you will even forget that you once had that identity.
Content: So be very clear, the Master is such a live energy that you will be transformed. You will be a new being, you will be a new energy and you will be a new consciousness.
Content: I can say it in just one statement: you will be new! You will be 'new' and 'clear' - you will be 'nuclear'! You will be new and clear because the dynamic diamond completely polishes you, shines you, makes you experience that you are also a diamond. Everything else except the diamond part in you will be removed from you. It will be
Page 18
Content: taken away from you. It will disappear from you. You will feel very light. You will feel you have lost weight.
Content: Be very clear, you will not have lost any weight. But you will have lost the weight of the ‘tumors’ you were carrying that were not part of you, that were a disturbance in you. Something that is supposed to be an inherent part of you can never be a disturbance to you. And if it is a disturbance, it was never meant to be a part of you. It should never be part of you either. All disturbances are tumors. In these few days, you will have the Master Surgeon working on you - performing master surgery! So come with complete openness.
Content: I talk to people about their attitude towards the Master. In the Bhagavata (popular hindu epic with small stories about devotion), we have five attitudes with which to relate with the Master. One is the attitude of the mother towards her son. This is called vatsalya bhava - which is how Yashoda, Krishna’s adopted mother, related with Him.
Content: Another is the attitude of the child towards the mother or father. This is called matru bhava. This is how Ramakrishna related with Goddess Kali - looking at the Master as mother or father.
Content: The third is the attitude of a friend. This is called sakhabhava. This is how Kuchela and Arjuna related with Krishna.
Content: The next is the attitude of a servant. It is called dasa bhava. It refers to the Master disciple relationship wherein the disciple feels like a faithful servant of the Master. This was how Hanuman (the monkey God) related with Rama in the famous Indian epic Ramayana. Hanuman felt about Rama, ‘You are my lord. All I know is this, I will just do whatever you say.’ Understand the power of dasa bhava. By simply chanting Rama’s name, Hanuman was able to cross the ocean to reach Sri Lanka! But when Rama himself had to cross the ocean, he needed a bridge!
Content: Understand that Rama Nama (trust in the name of Rama) is more powerful than Rama himself! The trust in Rama on the part of Hanuman was more powerful than Rama himself. I always tell people not to bother about whom you trust. The very trust itself will empower you. Trust can transform you.
Content: You may think, ‘On this Himalaya Yatra I may not be able to walk much.’ You may think about me, ‘He is walking slowly.’ But I tell you, by trusting me you will fly. Understand, I am walking slowly because I have flown enough. I landed just to teach you how to fly. If I am constantly flying, you will not know how to fly. When I teach you how to fly, I have to land first and walk very slowly to show you the movements. Only then you will pick up these movements. So do not bother about whether I walk slowly or not; simply fly, that’s all! Understand, the trust on Rama is much more powerful than Rama himself. This is the power of dasa bhava - the attitude of the lord and the disciple.
Content: The ultimate is the attitude of the beloved. It is called madhura bhava. This is how Radha saw Krishna. This is how Radha felt about Krishna, the attitude of the beloved. Let me be very clear: the attitude of a beloved is in no way connected to whether you
Page 19
Content: are a male or female. It is in no way connected to the body; it is completely beyond the body. It is from the Being.
Content: Do not think that only if the Master is female and you are male can madhura bhava happen. No! If the Master is male and you are also male, then too madhura bhava can happen. Or if the Master is female and you are female also, madhura bhava can happen. Madhura bhava is no way related to the physical relationship of the body. It is beyond the body. It has nothing to do with the body. It is a feeling of intense connection. You may be a male or a female. That is in no way connected to madhura bhava.
Content: The last is the maha bhava. It is all the other five bhavs put together and something more! That is what the Guru-disciple relationship is all about. Sometimes with the Master you will feel he is your son. At some other time you will feel he is like your father. Sometimes you will feel he is your lord. Other times you will feel he is like your friend. Sometimes you will feel he is like a comforting beloved, giving you so much comfort and making you feel that you are also worthy of love. The relationship with the Master is all these five put together plus something more.
Content: You can relate with the Master in any one of these five attitudes or bhavs, or all the five put together. Then you will be able to withstand the surgery the Master Surgeon performs on you. If you do not relate with the Master, if you do not feel connected to the Master emotionally, be very clear, you will escape during the operation. Because when I open the wound, you will feel dirty and you will say, 'I am feeling very dirty.' I will be drawing out the pus, so you will feel dirty. Please be patient and let me clean out the dirt. When it is completely cleaned out only then will I stitch it back carefully.
Content: Of course now I have also brought with me the latest technique of laser surgery! If the tumor is too big, I must cut you open. But sometimes there is no need to cut you open. If it is not too big, laser surgery will do the job beautifully!
Content: If you feel unclean, if you feel dirty, understand that the tumor must be opened and the pus has to leave your body. Constantly the surgery will happen in you. Sometimes I will not even be directly involved. All I need to say is one word and you will be completely disturbed!
Content: In so many ways, including many indirect ways, the surgery will happen. Simply allow things to happen and watch how you blossom into a new person. You will be 'new' and 'clean'. 'nuclear'. When you go back to your own home, you will be new and clear because the tumors and the pus will have been removed.
Content: So understand that when Krishna says, 'If you know My life you will be liberated' he is not being egoistic. He says it out of compassion for you.
Content: Those who live around me know how I bless people. If I say, 'I will take care' that it will happen. If I say, 'I will meditate for you, please pray to Lord Anandeshwara and meditate under the banyan tree', it means just a consolation. People ask me, 'Then why do you tell some people that you will 'take care' and to others you say to go and
Page 20
Content: meditate?' I tell them that it is because people are not so simple to receive the words 'I will take care'. So I have to make it complicated for them.
Content: When I say, 'I will take care' they think, 'What can he do to take care! He is far too young. Somehow he has created an ashram - who knows how! And he says that he will take care. How can he take care?' The moment the question rises in you, the words 'I will take care' will not have power any more.
Content: A beautiful small story:
Content: A disciple fell into the river Ganga. His Master was sitting on the banks of the Ganga. On seeing him the disciple shouted, 'Save me! Save me! God, save me! Master, save me!'
Content: The Master replied, 'Fool! Stand up. Save yourself.'
Content: The disciple shouted back, 'Teach me your Vedanta (philosophy) later. First save me. My life is in danger. When I reach the banks of the river, teach me all your Vedanta. But for now, just save me!'
Content: The Master did not even move. He repeated, 'Fool! Save yourself! Stand up.'
Content: The disciple cried out, 'I thought you were my Master. Save me, save me!'
Content: Now the Master got really fed up and said in a stern voice, 'Idiot! Stand up!'
Content: The disciple then got frightened and stood up... and saw that the water was only up to his waist!
Content: Understand, you all suffer because you have 'fallen into water' but do not realize it is only up to your waist. It is only when you stand up will you realize the water just reaches your the waist. Understand, when I say 'I will take care' I am actually saving you by giving you the stick with which to stand up. When the Master says 'I will take care' and if you doubt it, then the connection is broken right then and there.
Content: Someone once asked me, 'Master, we sing your name Nithyananda and enjoy ourselves. We understand that. But you are also singing and dancing with us, enjoying your name. How can that be?'
Content: Ramana Maharishi was also asked the same question. Someone went to him and asked, 'Bhagavan, what is this? We chant 'Ramana Satguru, Ramana Satguru.' But you chant the same mantra too. How come you do that?' Not only just that, Ramana even wrote a long and beautiful poem on himself!
Content: There was a disciple who was writing the Ramana Purana - a song in praise of Ramana. But he had what you call 'writers' block'. Somehow, whenever you write with ego 'writers' block' will happen. Anyhow, that disciple came to Bhagavan (Ramana Maharishi was addressed as Bhagawan) and said 'Bhagavan, I am not able to write further, please help me.' And Bhagavan said, 'Put that paper down and leave. I will talk to you later.'
Page 21
Content: The disciple put the paper down and went out. The next day when he came back, he saw that the whole poem had been completed! Ramana Maharishi had written 300 lines Himself. When the book was printed, the writer enclosed those 300 lines within quotes and below he put a footnote, 'These 300 lines were written by Bhagavan Himself.'
Content: Bhagavan saw the book and asked, 'Oh! So then, the other lines are written by you? All right!' Just that one comment was enough for the disciple to become enlightened!
Content: The disciple Muruganar is one of the four disciples who became enlightened when Bhagavan was still in his human body. He wrote 16,000 verses on Ramana Maharishi, published as more than twenty five volumes!
Content: Muruganar wrote in his memoirs, 'I had only one ego: that I am a great singer and poet. All other egos had left me. That was the only samskara, subtle engram, (engraved memory) which was hidden in me. I did not even feel it was an engram.'
Content: The big problem is that the engram will not allow you to acknowledge that you even have an engram. It will justify itself because for it, it is a question of survival. That is why I always tell people, 'When you are caught in an engram, never make a major decision.' Just be in the Master's presence. Do not miss this. This is such a wonderful opportunity. You will be completely healed and you will be able to come out of it. Never escape from the Master when you are caught by engrams.
Content: Whenever somebody is depressed and leaves me, I feel so much for them. It is not because I have one person less in the mission. No! Actually, if I have one person less, it is less of a problem for me. If this same person leaves me when he is happy, it is all right. It is perfectly all right. It is beautiful. It is a normal relationship. He will carry me in him wherever he goes. But, if he is in a depressed state, not only will he not grow, he will never come out of that engram also. That will become a serious wound in him like a cat that is burnt by hot milk. It will never again go near milk. I always tell people: never leave when you are depressed. If you are depressed, that is the right time to be around me. Trying to move away from me at that time is just as if you are sick and you do not want to be in a hospital. This is actually the right time to be in a hospital. If you are feeling low and caught by engrams, then you should be in the hospital.
Content: Anyway, Ramana's disciple Muruganar writes in his memoirs that only one engram was left in him when Bhagavan asked, 'Oh! The other lines were written by you!' He says 'Something simply broke in me. Tears rolled down, and I just dropped at the feet of Bhagavan and never got up again.'
Content: Bhagavan also used to sing his own name. Somebody asked Bhagavan, 'How come you are singing your own name?' Bhagavan replies, 'Why are you reducing the great name Ramana to this six feet body? Ramana is the energy using this body, not this body. So, just as you enjoy this body, I enjoy it too!'
Content: In the same way, Nithyananda is not this body - Nithyananda is the energy using this body. That is the reason why I always tell people, not only do I sing, but I am the first person to look at my own photographs! When they show me an album of my photographs, for the next two days that album will be on my bed. I sit and look through
Page 22
Content: the album at all my photographs and enjoy them. Only after two days do I send the album to the archives.
Content: Sometimes, people ask me, 'What is this Master? You enjoy your own photographs so much!' I tell them it is because I don't take myself for granted that I am able to do it! I don't have the feeling that I am this body. If I have that feeling, I cannot enjoy those photographs. I don't feel I am this body at all. Just like you enjoy my form, I enjoy it too. When you people can enjoy it, why not me too?
Content: In the same way, when I say I will take care, it is not from my ego. Just because you live an egocentric life, you think I also say things from my ego.
Content: That is why I always tell people, when I say 'God' it is a true experience for me. But when I say 'I', it is just an empty word. But in your case, when you say 'God', it is an empty word for you. And when you say 'I', it is a strong experience for you. Whatever you think you know about God is only a concept that you know about God. It is not God himself that you know. Be very clear, whenever you say the word 'God', it is only a hollow word. Only when you say 'I', it is a solid experience for you. In the same way, for me, whenever I say 'God', it is solid experience. When I say 'I', it is simply a hollow word.
Content: If you say 'God', only your ego is being represented. Whatever you think of as God is nothing but your ego. That is why a poor man is always attracted to Goddess Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth. By imagining whatever he does not have, he feels fulfilled. Since he does not have money, he thinks of Lakshmi all the time. Similarly, a dull person feels drawn to the Goddess Saraswati, the Goddess of learning, because he wants only wisdom. A man who does not have confidence will feel attached to Goddess Kali, because he needs courage from her for him to feel fulfilled. In this fashion, you try to fulfill what you do not have.
Content: Be very clear, even your God or Goddess is a only projection of your ego. That is why even when you say 'God' it is only your ego. In my case even the 'I' is the projection of God. That is why whenever I say 'I', it means God. It means the Divine. That is why whenever I use the word 'I', be very clear, it does not refer to my six foot body but the energy which is behind this body.
Content: When Krishna says, 'Know My life and you will be liberated', this is what he means. Now, know My life and be liberated. May you all know My life and be liberated. Let you know Nithyananda. Let you know the life of Nithyananda and live the life of nithyananda - eternal bliss.
Content: Let this whole experience transform you and may you receive great blessings. May you feel connected to the Master. Let your being transform and may you achieve and radiate Eternal Bliss, nithyananda.
Content: Thank you.

Content: The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam is reviving Hinduism as the 1008th Acharya Mahamandaleshwar (the head for all spiritual leaders) of Atal Akhada (ancient apex body of Hinduism), coronated as Mahamandaleshwar (Supreme Spiritual Head) of Maha Nirvani Akhada (largest apex monastic order) and the youngest Mahamandaleshwar, ordained as the 233rd Guru Mahasanidhanam (Pontiff) of Thondai Mandala Aadheenam, ordained as the 293rd Guru Mahasannidhanam (Pontiff) of Shyamalapeeta Sarvajnapeetam, ordained as the 23rd Guru Mahasannidhanam of Dharmamukthi Swargapuram Aadheenam, and coronated as the 203rd Emperor of Suryavamsa Surangi Samrajyam.
Content: The Srimad Karana Agama, Purva bhaga, Patala 71, Sakalotpatti vidhi, Sloka 8 & 9 (Sacred Ancient Hindu scripture) declares:
Content: इत्येवं निष्कलं प्रोक्तं परं भावभिति स्मृतम्।
Content: सृष्टिस्थं लोकरक्षार्थं लोकस्योत्पतिकारणम॥
Content: साधकानां हितार्थं तु स्वेच्छया गृहणते तनुः॥
Content: In this way (Shiva) who is Nishkala - without any body and parts, who is the Ultimate Supreme Being, who is established in the Creation, who is the Cause of the creation of the Universe, assumes a body out of His Free Will for the protection of the Universe, and for the welfare of the Spiritual seekers and Devotees.
Content: The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam is the reigning spiritual emperor of 17 ancient traditional Hindu kingdoms and the reviver of the most ancient, most peaceful, still-living and long-lasting demonstrable system that shows the possibility of peaceful co-existence amongst people. Following the coronation to establish KAILASA worldwide at the age of 16, for the past 27 years, The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam, as the face of the unified Hindus, has been single-handedly, tirelessly inspiring the dispossessed Hindu Diaspora to reclaim their Hindu centric freedom and stand unified for the centuries-old Hindu genocide.
Content: The 1008th living incarnation of Paramaśiva, The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam stands as the unifying force for the 2 billion born and practicing Hindu diaspora worldwide and established the Hindu State, KAILASA for the persecuted Hindus in over 100 countries.
Page 24
Content: The SPH Nithyanada Paramashivam has made resolute efforts towards recognizing and legitimizing the Hindu genocide which has been receiving scant consideration by global leaders and international bodies, The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam founded KAILASA Uniting Nations. For the past 27 years, this international body has been responsible in building relations, bridging dialogs, inspiring leaders, uniting nations towards acknowledging the Hindu policies which are universal, life positive as referenced from the ancient text of Hinduism. This is the ‘ahimsa’ (non-violent) way of bringing acknowledgment to the horrors of the Hindu genocide, the untold facts of the darkest act of mankind on Earth to the most contributing civilization - KAILASA.
Content: KAILASA is an apolitical nation whose vision is enlightened living for all. Towards this goal, KAILASA is the only Hindu nation on planet Earth today bringing legitimacy to the principles of Hinduism. Social principles, economic principles, judicial principles, Hindu medical principles, and Hindu economic principles. KAILASA is The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam's response to humanity's global problems of poverty, hunger, illiteracy, disease, violence and global warming and the continuing ethnocide and genocide of over 80 million Hindus worldwide since 7 centuries.
Content: Over the last 50 years, the effects of meditation and its significant impact on stress, crime rates, violence, political decision making and even war in local and global consciousness is well established. Unfortunately, in the last two hundred years, forcibly we are made to believe Hinduism is a functional principle only for enlightenment and spirituality. It is absolutely dysfunctional for the political, social, economical system. Making Hindu family structure, Hindu social structure dysfunctional is the greatest crime done against humanity.
Content: Sanatana Hindu Dharma has faced both historical and ongoing religious persecution and systematic violence, in various forms including assassination attempts on living incarnations, targeted elimination of Hindu pontiffs through bio war and lawfare, cyberbullying, Hindu phobia, forced conversions, documented massacres, demolitions, desecration and grabbing of worship temples and monasteries, looting of Hindu temples properties, destruction of Hindu educational institutions, elimination of well known Hindu libraries, the gross violation to the freedom to practice the Hindu school of liberated thinking (Sankhya), Hindu schools of living enlightenment (Jeevan Mukthi), gross violations of the right to freedom of religion that includes violations of the right to life, personal Hindu integrity or personal Hindu liberty, mass execution, looting and enslavement.
Content: Hinduism was once practiced freely in over 56 nations across the continent from Afghanistan, India, Nepal, Burma, Sri Lanka, all the way to Singapore, Malaysia, and Cambodia and Indonesia, and in 200 states, 1700 samasthanas (provinces) and 10,000 sampradayas (traditions). Over several centuries the combined forces of foreign invasion, political upheaval, colonialism and religious persecution systematically ended millennia of Hindu Swarajya, or self-rule.

Content: The revival of Hinduism through the civilizational nation of KAILASA globally irked vested interests of atheistic terrorist militant elements, caste supremacist terrorists and other anti-Hindu forces who executed a massive persecution and genocide on SPH and His followers on 2 March 2010 that continued for the next whole decade and comprised of over 70 assassination attempts, over 250 sexual assaults on SPH and his monks and disciples, lawfare of 120 false cases over 10 years, massive hate propaganda in electronic media of over 14,000 hours and print media of over 25,000 articles in 5 years, destruction of heritage properties worth over 27 million USD, and the continuing ethnocide and genocide of over 80 million Hindus worldwide since 7 centuries. Specifically, the lawfare involved:
Content: Delegitimizing SPH by hate propaganda, disenfranchising Him of His civil and human rights, prejudicing Him from fair representation and fair trial
Content: Repeated illegal imprisonment, with brazen torture, custodial assassination attempts, supported by system justification in various forms, including the common processes of bureaucracy, indifference, self-deception, diffused responsibility and has resulted in continued systemic complicity with torture, murder and genocide
Content: Well-planned multi-layer false hate propaganda by the ‘fourth estate’ media sustained by moral disengagement, leaving the broader public in a state of willful ignorance, motivated denial, out-group victim-blaming, dehumanization and bystander apathy to even genocide.
Content: The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam stands in solidarity with the untold, multi-level - social, political, intellectual, religious, cultural, linguistic, economic, legal, digital - persecution done to Hinduism and faced by Hindus and Hindu minorities worldwide for the past several thousands of years continues through the modern day.
