He felt the power of devotion and faith strengthening further. At the age of 12, The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam had a vision of a golden figure while at the altar of Goddess Parvati at the Arunachaleshwara temple. The vision made a deep impression on him. He took a copper sheet and with a nail etched it from memory. The figure he drew was the sacred Sri Chakra believed to be a powerful and mystical representation of the Cosmos. When asked how he managed to carve with such ease this complex diagram that baffles even skilled artists today, Nithyananda explained, 'It is just nine triangles placed at different angles to each other. Once you understand the concept it becomes easy!'

I felt the same life force not only inside my skin, but outside in other things also. I felt that I am alive in the rocks, in the plants, in the flowers in all the animate and inanimate things around me. That was my first profound experience. It opened a deep compassion and love for everything. Great reverence for life happened through that experience. Acceptance of every being, as he is, entered my being, That experience was the first glimpse which happened in me which led to enlightenment. With just one such experience, one will see that all religious fanaticism, communal or linguistic fanaticism simply disappears from the system.'

Content: Yogi Ramsuratkumar would sit like a beggar amidst a pile of garbage that he collected on the steps of the building adjacent to Thermutti, where the temple chariot was parked. It was customary for people to stop by and ask him questions about their future. Children on their way to school would stop and ask how they would fare in their exams. They could rarely elicit a response from the intriguing mystic. One day, The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam stopped on his way to school and asked him if he would pass in his test in school that day. He got a reply, 'You will pass the test of life, my boy!'

(Raghupati Yogi and Kuppammal were instrumental in shooting many pictures of him meditating, with apparent foresight.)

The disciples looked on, caught in their own emotions, as he took the boys in his arms with mischievous laughter and ardent compassion.

Content: The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam felt overwhelmed at the unconditional love of his mother. She was in deep sorrow and yet she wanted for her son what he wanted. She did not wish to be in his way. Her innocence and selfless love touched him deeply. She was innocent of her own innocence.

The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam payed no heed to him. Instead, he placed his own palm upon the injured area and moved on. When he was X-rayed at Haridwar everyone but him was stunned. The fracture had healed perfectly. Little did The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam realize that the healing touch upon his own body would one day benefit millions of people around the world!
