Content:

1. You can unclutch from the mind maze

Content: We have thus far looked at the basic emotions that drive us. When these emotions are negatively expressed, we destroy the energy within us and block ourselves from receiving energy from without. If you have practiced the techniques that have been given with each of the preceding chapters, you would also have seen how you could overcome these negative energies and unblock yourself.

Content: Let us now look at a few other issues, which if we understand well, can change the way we live. These understandings can transform us. Let us start with something very simple, something that we all take for granted. Let us look at the way our mind really works.

Content: The ten-minute experiment

Content: Try a very simple experiment for just ten minutes. Take a sheet of paper and a pen. Sit down alone. Write down whatever thought comes to mind as if a transcribing software has been connected to your mind. Transcribe exactly what you think. Do not edit or suppress any thoughts. It is an experiment only for you. No one else is going to look at what you have written. Visualize that transcribing software has been connected to your mind. Just like how the transcribing software which is connected to a taped speech transcribes everything, transcribe whatever is going on in your mind verbatim. At the end of ten minutes, read what you wrote just once.

Content: You will be amazed! You can clearly see that there is no logic in the way thoughts form in your mind! For example, you see a dog on the street. Immediately you remember the dog you were afraid of when you were young, or the one you used to play with when you were young. The next thought could be about your childhood. The third may be about the teacher and the room you used to sit in at school. The fourth may be about the house where your teacher used to live.

Content: There is no logical connection between the dog that you recently saw on the street and the teacher who taught you in school. However, in a few seconds you simply jumped from seeing the dog to your childhood teacher. You can see that your thoughts are just moving, drifting from one thing to another. We can’t even call this ‘thinking’. It is just ‘association’, that’s all. You associate the dog with your childhood, your childhood with the teacher, and so on.

Content: Actually, if you do this exercise just once, the very understanding that it gives you will transform the way you think about yourself, and how you treat yourself and others. Your whole life will be transformed.

Content: How does our mind work? How do we create thoughts and how do we give meaning to them? How do we experience life?

Content: 2. The nature of the mind

Content: Let me give you a simple diagram to understand how thoughts flow in the mind and how you connect them. Each thought in your mind is shown here as a rectangle. Each is a different shape, size, and color. Different thoughts are continuously flowing in you. One may be related to pain or a painful experience.

Content: Another may be related to joy or a joyful experience. The next one may be related to joy, but you think of it as pain. It is referred to as JP on the chart - joyful experience, painful impression. Similarly you may have a thought that is related to a painful experience, but you think of it as joy. It is referred to as PJ - painful experience, joyful impression.

Content: Generally, all your thoughts are related to something about the past or the future. You cannot have thoughts about the present. In the present moment you can have only consciousness, no thoughts.

Content: Thoughts are either related to some joyful experiences or painful experiences that you had in the past and want to have in the future, or painful experiences that you had in the past and don’t want to have again. Even at the time of some serious problem, you will suddenly have a positive thought. Even in the peak of joy, you will have some unconnected negative thought. Each thought is completely independent, completely unconnected to the previous thought. That is why you are able to have a happy thought amidst sad thoughts and vice versa.

Content: Understand that no two thoughts are logically connected. No thought is responsible for the creation of another thought. They all appear randomly, independently, and illogically. How do you 'unclutch' from this random stream of thoughts? We will be using the word 'unclutch' again and again. Let's clearly define what is meant by 'unclutch'.

Content: When we change gears while driving a car, whether we change from first to second, or second to third, or any gear for that matter, we have to pass through neutral every time. We have to completely depress the clutch, or 'unclutch', move through neutral, and only then we can go to the next gear, right? In the same way, we experience a neutral space between any two thoughts in our mind.

Content: That neutral space, that silence that exists between two thoughts, is peace and bliss. When we no longer grab onto thoughts and connect them to the past or future, we remain 'unclutched'. As we remain 'unclutched' from our thoughts we become more aware of the neutral spaces between thoughts.

Content: The gap between the thoughts will automatically extend when we remain 'unclutched' from the stream of thoughts. We will dwell in the neutral space longer and experience more and more peace and bliss.

Content: 3. Awareness The ultimate key

Content: When you suddenly become aware, any thought that flows in front of you becomes your life for that moment. You start giving attention to it, either to fulfill it or to escape from it. It is like slides on a projector. Any slide that is kept in front of the projector light is seen as reality on the screen. The problem is that in your inner space, the projector light is not continuously on.

Content: When I say projector light, I mean your awareness. It just comes and goes, comes and goes - you are not fully, continuously aware. Many times, even though your eyes are open and your body is moving, you are not aware of your existence. An example from everyday life is like when you get into your car and drive for half an hour to the office. It is only after you reach the office, park the car, and get out, do you suddenly realize, 'Oh, I have reached the office!' It means that in those moments of driving, the projector light was off most of the time.

Content: Any slide that is placed in front of the projector during moments that the projector light, your awareness, is off is not part of your life. You don't remember it at all. When the light comes on again, when your awareness comes back again, whatever thought you have at that time becomes a part of you. Understand that this is a very subtle truth. Your life is the totality of all the thoughts you have when you are aware and unaware.

Content: Unfortunately, many times there are thoughts, many major decisions, and life changing incidents that happen when you are not aware.

Content: These are also part of your life, part of your biography. Unfortunately, you are not aware of these scenes, decisions, or t h o u g h t s when they come up. Without your

Content: Knowledge they have contributed significantly to your life. Be very clear, every moment that passes in your life without you being aware of it, without your presence, is suffering. You will either directly or indirectly create situations for suffering. Just like when the turn indicator light in your car blinks, your consciousness blinks also. But, because of your lack of awareness, you do not know when it is on and when it is off.

Content: I read a joke the other day: One man got into his car and started the engine. He flipped on the turn indicator and asked his son to see if the light blinked in the rear of the car. His son shouted back, 'Yes, it's on...no, it's not on...yes it's on...no it's off...now it's on!'

Content: If you just see the thought flow in front of you, suddenly you will realize, 'Oh god, all these things are actually going on in me! I don't have a clue where I am heading. I don't know what is happening in me!' You are not aware, but constantly you believe you are aware. That is the first illusion.

Content: If you become aware continuously, you open up to reality for the first time. It might be a bit intense initially, because until now, you have spent most of your time in unawareness. Ultimately, it will lead you to experience only joy and bliss.

Content: 4. You are not aware of your true past

Content: This is the first truth. You are not aware of all the things that are happening in front of you. You do not remember your biography as it happened. You remember it only as you want it. Just take a simple example. Your life is filled with different kinds of incidents relating to joy, suffering, guilt, pain, and depression. You don't look at life as it is.

Content: What do you usually do? You collect only the incidents related to suffering and create a shaft, connecting only these ideas, and you think your life is nothing but suffering. You think that your life is a long chain of suffering, a pain shaft. Very rarely, you create a joy shaft. It is very rare that you collect joyful incidents, create a joy shaft, and feel life is joy. It is rare not only in the number of joyful shafts, but also in the quality of them. Most of the time you collect all the painful memories and incidents, and create the idea that life is only pain.

Content: The moment you believe life is continuous painful occurrences; unconsciously you try to strengthen that belief, even though consciously you try to break the pain shaft. Please understand your belief that life is a pain shaft or a joy shaft will stay only as long as you are unconscious, not when you are aware.

Content: If you normally enjoy lustful thoughts, then whenever lustful thoughts cross your system, you come to the awareness, 'I exist'. If you normally enjoy violent thoughts, whenever violent thoughts come into your system, you come to life and know that you exist. This is what I call a vicious circle: you empowering negativity and negativity bringing you back to life, you empowering more negativity, and more negativity bringing to life perceived excitement.

Content: 4.1 The shaft that does not exist

Content: a. Shaft of pain

Content: There is a very beautiful analogy by Ramana Maharishi, an enlightened master from India. A dog chews a dry bone. As it chews, fragments of the bone will poke into its mouth making it bleed. The dog thinks the blood is coming from the bone and it enjoys the blood. It continues to chew on the bone for the pleasure of the blood! It doesn’t realize that the blood is coming from its own mouth and not at all from the bone.

Content: If violence excites you, you wait for that kind of incident in your life. If pain excites you, if you believe life is a pain shaft, you wait for that kind of incident in your life in order to strengthen and reinforce your belief. That is the general human psychology. Although people claim they want to break the violence shaft or pain shaft, they secretly nurture it.

Content: Let me provide a deeper understanding.

Content: The pain that you had ten years ago, the pain that you had nine years ago, the pain that you experienced seven years ago, the pain that you experienced three years ago, and the pain that you experienced yesterday are all unconnected, independent, individual incidents. But you start connecting all of them and create a shaft of pain. You connect all these thought shafts and create one big shaft. You start thinking and believing, ‘My life is pain.’ Is that true? No! What happened to all the sweet incidents of joy that you experienced in between? Surely, there must have been at least a few moments of joy in between? They are simply forgotten. They are never picked to form a shaft. So the shaft, any shaft, is never true, because it focuses on only a fragment of your complete biography.

Content: First, you start archiving the painful memories for utility purpose. You archive all your pains, probably for medical history sake or to tell your doctor. By and by, you start believing that all these pains that happened in your life are connected. You decide that your life is pain, your life is suffering. The moment you come to the decision that your life is pain or your life is suffering, you create hell for yourself.

Content: For example, until yesterday you were only walking, you were not able to fly. You know in your past you never flew, you only walked. Can you believe you can start flying from tomorrow onwards? You can’t. You know tomorrow you will still only be walking. You rely solely on your remembered past experiences to predict your future, eliminating many new possibilities.

Content: There is one more important thing about pain that I want to share with you. This may look mystical, but let me be honest, Patanjali1 says very clearly that any pain can be used as a door to enlightenment. The technique is to not label it as pain. Just observe and see what is going on. See the way a small child experiences something new with all excitement and curiosity.

Content: 1 Patanjali - A sage of ancient India and author of Yoga Sutras, which is the foundation of the system of yoga.

Content: Do this with situations that you currently label as pain and see how the whole experience transforms. When you just observe the pain, you come to understand two things. First, in the process of pain you will see your body rejuvenating itself, reconstructing itself.

Content: You incorrectly label this process of rejuvenation and call it pain. Second, when you stop labeling it 'pain', you stop resisting the pain sensation and it can heal more rapidly. When you label it as pain, not only are you fighting with the self-healing process, you are also elongating the process and creating more pain.

Content: b. Shaft of joy

Content: The joy that you experienced ten years ago, the joy that you experienced nine years ago, the joy that you experienced three years ago, and the joy that you experienced one year ago are all independent, individual, unconnected thought shafts. At the present time, you connect all of those thoughts and create a big shaft of joy.

Content: You may identify your joy with an object, a person, or a space like a particular vacation resort. Now you will try again and again to bring that back in your life, to bring that person, that object, that space, or that same incident back in your life. Try as you might, you will not be able to experience the same joy again. This puts you in further pain!

Content: In life, we constantly create either shafts of pain or joy. Once you create a shaft of pain, you try to break it. If you create the shaft of joy, you try to elongate it! But you don't understand that you can neither elongate the joy shaft nor break the pain shaft - simply because the shaft itself doesn't exist. It is just selective memory. The very shaft is your imagination.

Content: 4.2 Thoughts are like bubbles in a fish tank

Content: There is no linear connection between one thought that we have and another thought that we have. The only relationship between thoughts is that they come from the same source. But we constantly connect one thought and the next thought in a linear manner.

Content: Just as bubbles in a fish tank rise from the bottom, our thoughts also rise in the same manner.

Content: When one bubble comes and reaches the surface of the water, the next bubble starts and then the third bubble starts. Because the bubbles are rising at a high speed, they look like a continuous stream! Actually there is always a gap between two bubbles.

Content: Like the bubbles, we also experience a neutral space between two thoughts. Since the gap or the neutral space between two thoughts is so small, we think all thoughts are connected and form a shaft. But there is always a gap between two thoughts.

Content: Let me tell you about an incident that happened:

Content: A middle aged man came to me and said, 'Swamiji, I am going to divorce my wife. Please bless me!' 'One gentleman around forty five years of age came up to me and said, 'Swamiji, I am going to divorce my wife, please bless me.' I told him, 'I only bless people for marriages. Why do you want me to bless you for a divorce?' He replied, 'No, you have to bless me, because I have suffered so much. 'I said, 'Suffering is always give-and-take. It is never just taking.

Content: You must have given your wife enough suffering too. So, please tell me the truth about what h a p p e n e d and then we will analyze the situation.' He replied, 'How do I decide which incidents to tell you, and which ones to leave out? There are so many of them! From day one she has been torturing me. You don't know how much torture I have gone through!' Then he narrated an incident from the day of his marriage.

Content: In Indian villages, when a wedding takes place, the newly married couple plays games after the marriage ceremony. For one of the games, a ring is dropped inside a pot filled with water. The husband and wife put their hands inside and compete to pick up the ring. Whoever grabs it first wins. These small games were created mainly to reduce the unfamiliarity between the couple because in arranged marriages the bride and groom first meet during the wedding ceremony. They have small games to reduce the distance between the couple because they are new to each other.

Content: This man said, 'During that game, she scratched my hand. With her nails, she scratched my hand!' And he started a big story about everything that she had done to him since that day! For all practical purposes, he had kept a file, like a police report from the first day of his marriage.

Content: After two or three incidents, I told him, 'Please stop! If this is the case, she should be happier than you to part ways. It is very difficult to live with someone who keeps such large and detailed files in his head!' Any time she does something, this man will always be looking through the files.

Content: Then he told me the immediate reason for the divorce. He said, 'She spilled some coffee on my clothes!' I told him, 'Spilling coffee on your clothes cannot be a reason for a divorce!'

Content: He said, 'No, you don't know. Today she poured coffee; tomorrow she will pour acid!' He really said this. I did not understand the connection. I asked him how he could possibly connect coffee and acid. Again he said, 'No, no Swamiji, you don't know.'

Content: He may seem extreme and you may laugh when you hear this. But just look intensely at your own life. You are doing the same thing - constantly creating illogical connections. You forget to see incidents as being independent of each other. You forgot to see thoughts as being independent.

Content: If you just learn this one simple technique of unclutching, you will be able to retain a significant amount of energy in your system, in your being. As a result, you will be many times more productive and creative. Your relationships will be much friendlier because you will not clutch

Content: incidents that are not related. You will not feel suffocated by people or their expectations of you. You will have tremendous inner space available to you to fulfill your needs, as well as others' needs. You will also have tremendous compassion to know why others are suffering. It is only when you don't understand why the other person is suffering that you are harsh with them.

Content: When you unclutch, you are able to accommodate that person in your inner space. You are automatically compassionate. Your very life has a different quality and you become a different person in the world.

Content: 4.3 It is never the 'same'

Content: Every single happening in our lives is unconnected, even our everyday activities like eating and drinking. Each and every experience is independent by its own right. Drinking water yesterday and drinking water today are two completely different incidents. The food that you ate yesterday and the food that you eat today are different, even if they seem physically the same! But your mind creates the shaft between these two incidents and says, 'I eat the same food every day.' Please be very clear, you don't eat the same food every day. You may use the same word 'eating' for both the experiences, but they are not the same experience. Do not be cheated by the words that you use.

Content: Yesterday's eating, today's eating, and tomorrow's eating are separate incidents, separate experiences. They are completely independent and unattached. A beautiful incident from the life of an enlightened master from central India:

Content: During the last ten years of his life, the doctors asked the master to eat a particular kind of food. He was not allowed to eat anything else. He had to eat the same kind of food three times a day, everyday. After two years the person who cooked for him came and complained, 'Master,

Content: I am bored with cooking the same food. How are you able to eat the same food day after day?' The master just laughed and said, 'I am not eating the same food every day. How can I eat the same food every day?

Content: I can only eat this food today. Tomorrow's food is totally different!'

Content: Life is new every moment. It is the mind that makes it look repetitive, dull and mundane.

Content: 5. From fear to freedom

Content: 5.1 Your fear gives power to the mind

Content: When a local gangster steps out on the first day of his job, he has a little fear. Once the people start obeying him, even if he is unsure of himself, just seeing people obey him gives him confidence, 'Yes, now I am a great guy!' His whole body language changes.

Content: In the same way, when the mind comes to attack you, initially it will not have enough confidence. But when it sees that you are afraid of it, it gains confidence and traps you! You give confidence to the mind to attack you. Once you show your fear, once you show that you are very fragile, that is enough for your mind and you are caught.

Content: The person who wants to exploit you first makes you believe that you can’t run your life without him. He gives you the impression that you cannot survive without him. Once you fall for it, he starts exploiting you and playing games with you. The moment you start believing that you cannot survive without him, you start putting up with him even though it is an abuse.

Content: In the same way, the first thing your mind does is convince you that you cannot be alive without it. The moment it convinces you of this, nothing more needs to be done. Then you never try to drop the mind!

Content: 5.2 Just let Go…and you can fly!

Content: I saw this in my days of spiritual wandering. In the forests of Northern India the hunters use a trap to catch birds. They tie a rope between two trees. In the middle of the rope, they secure a wooden stick. The rope is tied at the midpoint of the stick. This is actually a hunter’s trap for birds. You may think, ‘How can a bird be trapped with a small stick? How is it possible?’ Actually, all they do is just hang the stick between two trees using a rope, that’s all.

Content: Every single happening in our lives is unconnected.

Content: When a bird comes and sits on the stick, the bird’s own weight turns the whole stick upside down, it turns topsy-turvy. The bird is now hanging upside down, clinging to the stick. The moment it turns upside down and loses its sense of balance it feels totally shaken and tightens its grip on the stick. It simply holds onto the stick as if its life depends on it. Because it is hanging upside down, it thinks, ‘If I unclutch from this stick, what will happen? I will fall and die.’

Content: There is no intelligence to not letting go, loses its life too,

Content: Just like the drop your mind, Paramahamsa2.

Content: liberated. You can simply start flying. The same fear that the bird clinging to the stick had, you have now. Your fear and the bird’s fear are one and the same. The bird believes that it can’t let go and if it does it will die. Similarly, you hold on to your mind and feel, ‘I can’t let go. If I start trusting that I am unconnected, unclutched, independent and illogical thoughts, I might be lost.’

Content: record that any bird has ever fallen and But the bird does not have the realize this. It keeps hanging on. By not only does it lose its freedom, it because ultimately the hunter traps it.

Content: bird, you don’t realize that if you just at that moment you can become a That very moment you can be

Content: 2 Paramahamsa - Literally means Supreme Swan. Title bestowed on enlightened beings.

Content: The hunter comes leisurely, after four or five hours, takes the bird, puts it in the cage, and leaves. Now the bird neither has the freedom to fly nor the stick to balance. The foolish bird doesn’t know that if it had just let go of the stick, it could have simply flown away!

Content: In the same way, you hold on to whatever you think is your identity and security - your education, your mind, your life, your relationships, or your bank balance. Yama 3 ultimately comes to remove the stick that is your identity. Then you are neither a Paramahamsa, a liberated soul, nor are you able to hold on to your identity. You will neither have the freedom, nor will you have the stick of your identity that you are clutching, because the stick itself is an illusion.

Content: Let me tell you, if the bird lets go and relaxes, it may flutter to balance for a moment or two. It may take one or two moments to balance itself, but it will never fall and die. When it leaves the stick, maybe for a few seconds it will fall, but then it will adjust itself and start flying. Be very clear, let go and you will never fall and die. You will only become a Paramahamsa!

Content: This moment, trust yourself. Don’t bother about losing your identity. Just trust yourself and let go of your identity. You will immediately become a Paramahamsa and be liberated. All you need to do is to trust that you are unclutched. Even if you don’t trust that it is still the truth!

Content: 6. Safety net of the sangha

Content: When you unclutch, there will be some revolutionary changes in your life, your day-to-day thinking, your decision-making, and your daily routine and your lifestyle. Courageously going through that revolution, going through the transformation that happens in you, is what I call tapas or penance. On rare occasions during my wanderings, I have seen a bird hanging on the stick. Another bird that was once stuck in the trap, but had the courage to let go and open up, comes back. It pokes the hanging bird and says, ‘Hey, let go! Relax! I was like you.

Content: I had the same problem. When I relaxed I just started flying. All it takes is just two or three seconds to balance. When I opened up, I never fell and broke my head or died. I only became liberated. I only became a free bird. Come on…’ But the hanging bird will not believe it.

Content: Understand that, the responsibility of the free bird is to go about freeing other birds. It is the responsibility of the free bird to go and poke the bird trapped on the stick and say, ‘Free yourself.’ I am that free bird and I have created a safety net. Even if you fall, you won’t hurt yourself. Relax! Let go, you will only fly! See, the sangha, the community of the master, is the net. Even if you fall, you will not hurt yourself. First of all, you will not fall. But just to give you the deeper assurance, the sangha, the spiritual community, is created. So, I invite all of you to

Content: 3 Yama - Hindu god of death and justice

Content: come and experience the sangha. Understand that it is a free bird's responsibility to liberate all the trapped birds, to help them, to inspire them to free themselves.

Content: Similar to the bird trap, hunters also have a trap to catch monkeys. They catch monkeys using a small box for a trap. They place some sweets inside a box that has a small opening. The monkey puts its hand inside the box and grabs the sweet. As long as the monkey holds onto the sweet, it will not be able to take its hand out because its fist is larger than the hole! If the monkey lets go of the sweet, it can remove or slide its hand out immediately. But the monkey is not intelligent enough to realize that. It holds on to the sweet and just because it is holding on, it is not able to take its hand out. If it just lets go of the sweet, it can take its hand out and be free.

Content: If you allow the understanding of this story to happen in you, you will instantly unclutch from your shafts and be free this very moment.

Content: 6.1 Society does not liberate you

Content: The whole purpose of social training is to make you believe that you have continuity of thoughts. Society constantly trains you to hold onto either the shaft of pain or the shaft of pleasure. If you start believing the shaft of pain, you will spend your whole life trying to break the shaft and you will waste your life. If you start believing the shaft of pleasure, you will spend your whole life trying to elongate the shaft and you will end up wasting your life again.

Content: Society cannot tolerate your freedom. That is why it never gives you the courage to unclutch. Because once you unclutch, you cannot be controlled, manipulated, or exploited by anyone!

Content: If you are in a cage, society can play with you and make you follow all the rules it wants you to. It can feed you when it wants to, and what it wants to. You become very useful to it. But you will be just a utility. The society does not really care for you, you are only a means to an end for them. The moment you understand the truth that you are by nature a liberated being, the moment you relax, the inner healing or the bliss comes out and you feel the freedom. Once you start feeling the freedom, it is enough. It will give you tremendous confidence and courage to fly, to spread your wings in the sky. You will see that your being simply becomes a Paramahamsa in the pure cosmic Consciousness.

Content: 6.2 Unconscious or subconscious mind, a pure myth

Content: Man does not have an unconscious or subconscious mind as we have been taught. Please be very clear, I am making a bold, courageous and challenging statement. Of course, I have the support of the vedic rishis4 who dove deep into human consciousness, who did enough research in the inner world. So be very clear, the idea of unconscious or subconscious mind is just one more concept generated to create more fear in you.

Content: You can have only one thought at a time, am I right? Can you have two or three thoughts at a time? No, you cannot. You can have only one thought at a time. Then where is the question of

Content: 4 Rishis - sages.

Content: subconscious or unconscious? Where is it and what is it? Be very clear, creating the pain and joy shafts is the original sin. You are not a sinner in any other way.

Content: This is why the vedic rishis beautifully address humanity as amrutasya putraha5 – Sons of Immortality! By very nature, man is immortal nectar. There is no need to achieve that state separately. Man is the outcome of intense enlightened experience.

Content: 6.3 Unclutch! Radiate awareness, energy and intelligence

Content: When you completely unclutch, tremendous awareness, energy and intelligence happens in your system. Energy can never be produced. It is not something you can create. It just continuously happens in every being. If you take the stand that you are a body, you are on the plane of matter on the physical plane. You are living only in the gross body.

Content: Your desires are very physical, at the gross level. Your fears are related to the physical level fears like the basic fear of death, etc. If you think you are the mind, you live in the mental plane. Your desires, fears and everything are related to the mind, like the desire for name and fame, fear of losing your identity, etc. In the mental layer, both desires and fears are subtle.

Content: In the spiritual or being level, there won’t be any desires or fears. You radiate energy continuously. Whichever plane you are in, your presence radiates that energy.

Content: 7. Myth of body-mind

Content: Our mind creates our body

Content: Not only yoga6, but also medical science, confirms that our body constantly rejuvenates and replaces itself. We are constantly replacing ourselves. This is the first truth.

Content: The second important truth is proven not only by yoga and ayurveda7, but also by biology and medical science, that our mind creates our body. Our body is directly guided by our mind.

Content: There is a book called “The Biology of Belief” written by scientist, Dr. Bruce Lipton8. After thirty years of research in the field of biology, he came up with some very powerful conclusions. He clearly proves that our positive and negative emotions control our body in a bigger way than even DNA or cells do. Our body is guided by our beliefs, faith, and our positive and negative emotions.

Content: He says that even our body structure can be altered by our mind. Step by step, he proves very clearly that all our genetic, physical and mental problems are created by our faith alone.

Content: Research has also been done with children who were separated from their biological parents from birth. The children grew up thinking that the parents who had adopted them were their real parents. In these cases, the children even expressed all the symptoms of the hereditary diseases of the foster parents!

Content: 8. Unclutch to heal yourself

Content: There is a small story about a woodcutter:

Content: A woodcutter was once cutting a tree near a river. His axe slipped and fell into the river. Suddenly, a goddess appeared in front of him with a golden axe and asked, 'Is this yours?' He said, 'No'. Just a few moments later, she reappeared with a silver axe and asked, 'Is this yours?' The woodcutter again said, 'No'. Then she disappeared and came back with his axe, made of iron and asked, 'Is this yours?' He said, 'Yes, yes, it is mine!' The goddess was very pleased with his honesty and handed over all the three axes to him!

Content: Now, I will tell you the extention of this story, the second edition!

Content: The same woodcutter was cutting a tree by the same river. His wife was assisting him. Suddenly, by accident, his wife fell into the river! The same goddess appeared bringing a beautiful woman with her.

Content: She asked the woodcutter if she was his wife. The woodcutter replied, 'Yes, yes, yes!' The goddess got very angry and said, 'How dare you lie, you greedy fellow! Last time, when the axe fell into the river, you told the truth, but now when your wife fell in, you are telling a lie!' The woodcutter replied, 'No, no, you don't understand my problem.

Content: Last time you asked first whether the golden axe was mine, then whether the silver axe was mine, and then you showed me my axe. When I said the last axe was mine, you gave me all three. Now again if you give me three women what will I do! I know what suffering I am going through with just one! That is the reason I took precautionary steps. Anything is okay, but please just leave me with one wife, not more!'

Content: Anyhow, just like the goddess who asks the woodcutter about the axes, in the same way, Existence, the Cosmic Mother always asks you, 'Is this your new body?' Existence creates a new body for you every passing moment. Our cells constantly rejuvenate themselves.

Content: When the Cosmic Mother comes and asks, 'Is this new body yours?' you say, 'No, no, no! Bring my old one to me!' That is the problem. That is why, in spite of the natural rejuvenation process, you find that no big change has happened to your body over years and years.

Content: Our body has enough intelligence to replace itself. You may ask, 'If my body is again and again replacing itself, rejuvenating itself, then why am I carrying the same disease?'

Content: You carry the same disease in your body because you strongly believe in the same mind. Because you are carrying the same mind, you reproduce the same problems in the body. By clutching, by connecting, you stop the self-healing that could happen in your body.

Content: The moment you allow the inner healing to happen, the outer healing will simply start happening. The moment you understand that you are an unclutched being, that moment depression will disappear and I promise that you will create a completely new body. You will not carry your diseases forward to your new body.

Content: You carry the same disease because you believe that you are connected and that you are a continuous flow, which is supported by all of the shafts that you have created. When you create new cells or organs, you carry the same disease over into the new body also. You can see this in your own life. Let's say that as a child, you are taught by your mother that if you go out in the rain and get wet you will catch a cold. This concept is constantly reinforced during your childhood.

Content: Once you grow older you won't even have to go in the rain. All you need to do is to watch the rainfall from a window and you will sneeze! But when you understand you are unclutched you can work on your physical aches and pains. They will heal quickly. Also, you will not make and reinforce shafts that keep you in illness and suppression.

Content: For example, the knee pain you had ten days ago, the knee pain you experienced nine days ago, the knee pain you had eight days ago are all unconnected, independent experiences. But when you connect all of them and put a label, 'I have knee pain,' you make a shaft out of it.

Content: If you strongly believe that you had knee pain for ten years, naturally you will strongly believe you are going to have the same knee pain for the rest of your life. This faith is more than enough to reproduce and create knee pain in the new body that you create every morning. Because you clutch and connect with the same mind, you reproduce the same disease in the new body that you create every day.

Content: When you stop carrying the same mind and the same old identity, you stop reproducing the same diseases in the new body. You stop reproducing the same pain, the same depression, the same difficulties, and same disease in the new body. You are liberated.

Content: If you are unclutched, you allow your body to heal from the disease that you already have and you create a new body, a new system, that is healthy, energetic and alive.

Content: You will live like children. Children are so alive because every moment they create a new body. They are not stuck with a shaft, so they don't have any idea about themselves. That is the reason that even if yesterday you fought with them, today they will be smiling at you as if nothing happened! They don't carry records in their minds.

Content: They don't carry any identity about themselves. They do not connect yesterday's fight, the day before yesterday's fight, and the fight that happened one month ago. They are free from the shaft.

Content: Let go of the body-mind identity

Content: Please first understand that the thought that you are the body is itself an illusion. That is the first thought shaft that you create and suffer with as a result. If you start experiencing the truth that by your very nature you are illogical, irresponsible, independent, unconnected and unclutched, you will start creating a new, alive, and fresh body.

Content: We abuse and disrespect our bodies in order to satisfy our ego. The moment we start to realize that we are not the body, we allow the body to function naturally. By its very nature, the body heals itself. The body has its own intelligence. However, you have lost connection with that wonderful intelligence.

Content: You constantly abuse and torture your body. The moment you start thinking, ‘I am the body,’ you start abusing the body. You do so many things to satisfy the mind that, by their nature, abuse the body. If you can relax from the idea that you are the body, you will start to respect the body.

Content: You will make decisions that allow the body intelligence to function beautifully. You will allow the body to live naturally. You will be alive, bubbling and overflowing with energy. The moment you start understanding that you are not the mind, you will have sharp intelligence and spontaneity.

Content: The first thing to do is understand that you are not this body and mind. When you fully understand that you are not this body and mind, you will start respecting both. You start living with and not against your body and mind. You no longer abuse your body or disrespect its intelligence. You let your body live naturally and blissfully. Ashtavakra9 says, ‘You are not the body, you are not the mind. You are not the earth.’

Content: If you are unclutched, you allow your body to heal.

Content: You are not the water. You are not the fire. You are not the air. You are not the ether.’

Content: If you detach from the body and rest in intelligence, You will at once be happy, peaceful and free from bondage.

Content: First, you are not the body and mind. Second, if you detach from the body and rest in intelligence, you will at once be happy, peaceful and free from all types of bondage. You become peaceful that very moment.

Content: You start understanding and accepting yourself as you are. In that very moment, you start relaxing into yourself. You become silent. That very moment brings bliss to you.

Content: 9 Ashtavakra - An enlightened vedic sage who was born with eight crooked limbs. He is the author of the Ashtavakra Gita.

Content: The moment you understand that you are not the body and mind, you relax from this whole samsara sagara10, ocean of material existence. As long as you continue to associate yourself with the body and mind, you experience all the sufferings and pains that the body and mind carry.

Content: 9. Living intensely in the present

Content: 9.1 By your very nature you renounce every moment

Content: Fortunately, by your very nature, you can have only one thought at a time. The moment a new thought comes inside your system, it means that the old thought has lost its power or influence over you. If the new thought has entered you, it means the old thought has been renounced because you can’t have two thoughts at a time. You can have only one thought at a time.

Content: If you say that the old thought is also there, it only means that for that moment, the new thought has been renounced! There is a beautiful story by Ramakrishna Paramahamsa11:

Content: A king who was inside a huge fort, was once attacked by an army that was two million strong. The king only had two or three people around him and got very frightened. He told his advisor, ‘Two million people, and I am all alone. They will kill me!’

Content: The royal advisor said, ‘Don’t worry, King. Open only one door. Surely through one door only one person can come in at a time. As they come in, stand on this side of the door and kill them one by one. Over! Do not try to fight with the whole crowd.’

Content: If you think all your enemies are gathered together, you will start having unnecessary fears. You cannot have two thoughts at a time. You can only have one thought at a time. This means that every thought is replaced by the next thought.

Content: I’ll repeat: the first thing is that you can have only one thought at a time. The second thing is that unless the old thought is pushed out, the second thought cannot come. The third thing is that if somebody can push me out and sit here, he is surely more powerful than me! In the same way, any thought that comes in and pushes the old thought out is more powerful than the old thought.

Content: This means that any thought that is coming now is rooted in the present moment. It has more power than the thought that is being renounced, whatever that thought may be about.

Content: By your very nature you are renouncing. You don’t need to learn renunciation. Every moment you are renouncing. What do I mean by the word ‘renouncing’ here? I mean that at every moment you are letting go of one thought after another. Only then is it possible to allow new thoughts to keep entering your system. Every moment your inner space is getting cleared of the old thought.

Content: Thoughts are constantly getting renounced by themselves. The only issue is that when you create the belief your thoughts are connected, you have the problem of linked suffering, the shaft. Your

Content: 10 Samsara sagara - Ocean of birth and death.

Content: 11 Ramakrishna Paramahamsa - Enlightened mystic from West Bengal in India. His chief disciple was Swami Vivekananda.

Content: belief that you have some problem is your only problem. Every moment your inner space is purified by the new incoming thoughts. If you allow this process to continue, it will happen by itself and clean itself also.

Content: There is no need for you to clean your mind. All you need to do is just get out of the system so that the system can proceed on its own. One important truth you should know is that even if you want, even if you try consciously, you cannot possess or hold onto your suffering for long.

Content: Even if you try to hold it, you cannot hold your suffering because continuously, your thought that creates suffering is also replaced by newer thoughts! In fact, to hold onto suffering will require a lot of effort on your part because thoughts are continuously flowing.

Content: 9.2 Allow your thoughts to be replaced

Content: Be very clear, your power to bring on a new thought itself proves you have the power to drop the old thought. The problem is, instead of just watching the new thoughts flowing through you, you try to bring back old thoughts into your system. It is like picking up your trashed emails and bringing them back to the inbox.

Content: Is there any need to bring back trashed emails? No! If you constantly look to bring back the old thoughts, you will create only suffering. Understand that if you nurture the fact that any suffering can be replaced by a stream of fresh thoughts then that becomes reality for you.

Content: Then there is no suffering. If you are nurturing the thought, ‘No, however much I allow replacing, the suffering comes back,’ you will make that into reality. If you mother the thought that the suffering is going to come back, it will come back. If you mother the thought that it is going to go away, it will go away.

Content: All you need to understand is that if even once you can replace a thought in your inner space without returning to the previous thought, you will get the confidence, ‘I have replaced it once. I can do it again.’ Then you can tell yourself, ‘If the old thought comes back ten times, let me replace it ten times!’ that’s all.

Content: Soon you will see the old thought will stop coming back. There is a very beautiful incident in Buddha’s life:

Content: Buddha says, ‘Whenever I said in meditation, ‘I am going to get up after a few hours’, I never became enlightened. Once I decided, ‘If I am not going to become enlightened, I am not going to get up from this seat. Let this body dry up in this very place. Until I become enlightened, I am not going to move.’ Buddha says that the moment he created that strong clarity, the authentic sankalpa12, the next second, he became enlightened!

Content: 12 Sankalpa - Vow or decision.

Content: When you sit down to replace your suffering and think, 'Today I will replace it ten times. If it comes back the eleventh time, I can try again tomorrow,' then nothing will happen. No transformation will take place for you. Decide very clearly, 'Until it stops coming, I am going to replace the negative thoughts.' That is what I call courage.

Content: 10. Solutions for physical, mental and emotional problems

Content: When we unclutch, the first thing that will happen to us will be an inner healing effect, a deep silence and peace in us. Second, that inner healing will start radiating as physical wellbeing, which is our health.

Content: Third, naturally it will start radiating in our relationships also. Fourth, because these three are going beautifully, we will be creative and productive!

Content: 10.1 Solution for chronic ailments

Content: People come and tell me, 'Swamiji, for the last twenty years I have had knee pain.' No, it cannot be! Please understand that in reality it cannot be. I am not disrespecting you or adding more suffering to you by saying all your problems are only in your head! I am just stating the truth: all your problems are in your head.

Content: The knee pain you experienced two years ago, the knee pain you experienced one year ago, the knee pain you experienced two months ago, and the knee pain you experienced two hours ago are independent experiences.

Content: Only because you connect all of them, you conclude that you have been having knee pain for twenty years. Is it really true that you have knee pain continuously for twenty years? What happens to the moments of 'no knee pain' in between? The important thing you need to understand is that because you connect and see all these as one continuous incident, you block the possibility of selfhealing.

Content: 10.2 Solution for depression

Content: The depression that happened one month ago, the depression that happened one year ago, and the depression that happened three years ago are independent, individual, unconnected, and unclutched.

Content: The problem is the same as with physical pain. You start connecting them and concluding that you are having the same depression continuously. You create an idea that your life is depression. Then you start fighting with it. That only gives more life to the depressive thoughts.

Content: When you strongly believe that your last ten years have been filled with suffering and depression, you create a strong mental setup surrounding it. Naturally you start thinking that your future is also going to be painful and filled with depression.

Content: Suppose there is a person sitting in front of you who you think is an enemy. Suddenly if you notice that his head is separate, his legs are separate and his hands are separate, would you even

Content: feel like fighting with him? No! He is not even worth fighting! He doesn’t even have a solid existence, as you imagined him to have.

Content: So what is there to fight? In the same way, only when you imagine you have a huge problem in front of you, that a big person is in front of you, you start fighting and getting into more trouble.

Content: Your depression is not the huge enemy that you think it is. It is just like the person with disjointed body parts. It is you who joined the parts and gave it life. Your fighting with depression is the root cause of your depression.

Content: In Ramayana13 there is a beautiful story. Whoever stands in front of the monkey king Vali14 and fights with him, loses half of his power to him. In the same way, whoever stands in front of the thought shaft and starts fighting with that shaft, half of their power will go away to that shaft.

Content: The moment you unclutch from the shaft, you experience the neutral space, and inner healing starts. The moment inner healing starts, physically also you are healed.

Content: Do not try to renounce your depression, because by your very nature it is getting renounced, flowing away from you.

Content: By your very nature just as joy disappears from your mind, depression also disappears from your mind. The moment you try to eliminate the depression, you will extend it and give it more life. If you have a deep depression, will you stop going to the office? No! You may carry the depression in your mind but your body moves. You work. You may not be that productive or efficient. But your body still moves.

Content: Instead of ‘living depression’, I am saying, ‘live unclutched’. When we live in depression, we don’t have all these questions, ‘If I am depressed, how can my body move?’ We don’t have such questions. The depression becomes part of our life. In the beginning you may have questions, ‘How can I live unclutched?

Content: How will I even move my body?’ Understand that the constant remembrance of unclutching does not interfere with your mind or body movements. It only removes the depression because it lets the depression thoughts rise and fall without clutching to them.

Content: 10.3 Solution for addiction

Content: What is addiction? It is a behavior or action that if you don’t do it, you will feel terrible that you are missing something. But, if you do it you won’t feel any joy, it will only be mechanical. Addiction means believing that joy or ecstasy happens due to some object, person, or situation.

Content: 13 Ramayana - Hindu ithihasa or epic about prince Rama. The original version was written by poet Valmiki.

Content: 14 Vali - Monkey king in the Hindu epic Ramayana who was killed by prince Rama.

Content: Understand that this is the definition of addiction: trying to elongate the joy shaft by recreating it. You bring the same persons, situations, incidents, or happenings into your life again and again, knowing that the same joy is not going to happen. Some people are addicted to partying, some to smoking, and some to drinking and there are so many addictions.

Content: Remember that anything you bring to your life again and again will not give you the same excitement as it gave you the first time. It can only lead to addiction, not happiness.

Content: The first time you enjoy a sweet, it is a wonderful experience. The excitement is totally different. But if you keep eating more of the same sweet, the same experience is not there anymore. Eventually if you eat enough sweets, you will not even like the sight of them.

Content: You will look at them and say, 'Oh no, not more sweets. They make me feel terrible.' In the same way, when meeting a person for the first time, the excitement is totally different. Later on, the excitement falls off. People come and ask me, 'How can I break my habits?' See, habit is a beautiful word.

Content: If you remove 'h', 'a bit' will remain. If you remove 'b', 'it' will remain. Only when you remove the 'I', the shaft 'it' will die. Only when you remove 'I', only when you throw 'I' away, will it completely die.

Content: Your smoking two days ago, ten years ago, and twenty years ago, all these three incidents are completely independent. They are not connected. Mentally, when you start connecting, when you start believing that you have the habit of smoking and that you are addicted to it, the belief creates a shaft.

Content: Then you start fighting with it. That is what I mean when I say the 'I' has to be dropped. It is your belief that makes it a habit. If you drop the belief, the habit drops. If you believe it is a joyful experience, you continue to smoke more and more.

Content: If you believe it is a painful experience you start fighting with the shaft. Either way you don't win. Even if you believe that smoking is joyful, try to smoke without restraint and see for yourself how you feel. When you smoke and inhale, it can never be a pleasurable experience. It is never really joyful.

Content: When you smoke, in that moment, just see what is happening in your inner space. You are not enjoying anything. You are just trying to escape from something. You merely believe that smoking is joyful. Even if you don't feel joyful when you are smoking, you try to squeeze joy out of it.

Content: If you deeply scan your life and see, you will understand that whether it is smoking, or sex, or money, or any other pleasure, even if you don't feel the same joy as you felt the first time, you try to squeeze joy out of it. You try to console yourself, 'No, this is joy. What else is joy?' You try to cover the frustration by believing it is joy. You want to believe it is joy. Try your best to drop some addiction. You can never be successful.

Content: Even if you drop it you may be dropping it out of some fear or greed, which is a much bigger addiction. If you drop smoking out of some fear or greed, you are not doing anything good to your consciousness, to your inner space.

Content: You are only damaging yourself more. You might have dropped smoking, but the fear or greed that made you drop it will be added to your inner space. At least with smoking, you will destroy only this body. With fear or greed you will destroy your whole being, life after life! In the next body, you will carry over the fear and greed. The smoking habit may not carry over to the next body but the emotions of fear and greed will be carried with you to the next body. So the best way is to drop the idea that you have an addiction, and it will drop.

Content: 10.4 Solution for fear of death - just have a cup of coffee!

Content: A person once came and asked me, 'I am haunted by the fear of death. I have so much fear about losing my wealth, and about my death. Give me some solution. Please remove my fear.' I told him, 'Please have a cup of coffee.' He said, 'What do you mean?' I said, 'Just think of having a cup of coffee, then have a cup of coffee.' He was not able to believe me and asked, 'How can that help me?'

Content: I asked him, 'The moment you are able to think of having a cup of coffee and decide to have a cup of coffee, the death fear that is haunting your inner space has left your inner space. Am I right? Even if it is only for a split second, the fact that the thought about coffee has entered your system means that the death fear has been pushed aside!'

Content: Unless the death fear leaves his inner space, he cannot think of having a cup of coffee, right?

Content: We have already seen that only one thought can exist in your inner space at a time. If the older thought comes back, it means that you have consciously brought it back, like bringing back a trashed email to your inbox. So naturally, a simple thought to have a cup of coffee can remove the so-called powerful death fear.

Content: The man said, 'No, it looks too simple! The death fear definitely comes back, what should I do?' If it comes back, have one more cup of coffee, that's all! It is just a simple understanding.

Content: Fortunately, you can have only one thought at a time. The moment a new thought comes, it means the old thought has lost its power over you. Otherwise, the new thought cannot arise. If the old thought is so strong, it should just be able to multiply and sit on you. It shouldn't be able to leave your inner space. So the moment a new thought comes, it means the old thought was not very powerful after all.

Content: It easily lost its power over you and left you. Because of that, the new thought has come inside. So, the moment you have a thought to have a cup of coffee or a cup of water, he so-called death fear has left you. The man asked, 'Suppose it comes back? I can drink a cup of coffee once, but the next time what should I do?' I said, 'Then drink a cup of water, that's all!'

Content: Understand one more thing, your very fear about the fear coming back will invite that fear back. Why do you want to empower the fear thought? It is actually just like any other thought. Why don’t you give yourself the luxury of entertaining some other thought? Because you give too much importance to the fear thought, it comes back. It is just another thought, why give undue importance to it?

Content: You neither have to worry about your fears, nor about your greed. Your worry about your worries, your worry about your fears, and your worry about your greed is the only problem. Your fear is not the problem, your fear about the fears is the real problem.

Content: Fear exists because of the possibility of not achieving your goal. Fear is not connected to your failure. Fear is connected to your fear of failure.

Content: 10.5 Solution for stomach problems

Content: The ayurvedic science says that we get stomach problems like constipation, etc., only if we constantly hold on to our body. If we can just relax and witness, if we start understanding that we are not the body, we will never have stomach problems. I tell you from my experience with millions of people that I have met and worked with, if you have stomach problems, try this technique for just two or three days. Constantly think that you are not the body. I assure you, you will be liberated from any stomach problem. Your stomach will simply be healed.

Content: If you have stomach problems like ulcer, constipation, irritation, or any problem related to the stomach, this technique will help you. For two or three days, just continuously think, ‘I am not the body,’ ‘I am not the body.’ Just relax and allow the body to function. I tell you, within two or three days you will be healed.

Content: 10.6 Solution for allergies

Content: All your allergies and your phobias are nothing but the connection of independent thoughts. The only thing needed is the courage to be uncluttered. Please be clear, I have healed at least one thousand people with allergies in the last three years.

Content: When I was giving discourses in Hyderabad, India, a man complained about twenty five years of allergies to lentils.

Content: Even if he ate a spoonful of cooked lentils, his whole body would start swelling. I said, ‘Bring the lentils and eat them in front of me.’ I sat next to him as he ate. I just told him, ‘I’ll take care. I’ll heal. Don’t worry.’ He ate and there was no swelling. The allergy simply disappeared. All that is needed is giving these people the courage to be uncluttered. When I said that I would take care, he was able to break that shaft of fear which was causing his allergy!

Content: 10.7 Solution for aging

Content: Let me tell you an incident from the days of my spiritual journey:

Content: I went to a village where there were many elderly Lamas15. I asked one villager, 'Can I see an elderly Lama?' He said, 'Go to that field. There is a Lama working there. You can speak to him.' I went up to the Lama and spoke to him while he was working in the field.

Content: I asked, 'I heard that you are a very elderly person, can I ask about some of your experiences, something about your life?' He started laughing. He said, 'What? Elderly!? I am only a middle-aged man. I am only 136! There are so many people who are 190 and above, go and talk to them.' I was shocked! I asked, 'How do you live so long?'

Content: He simply replied, 'What is there to say? From childhood onwards we know that the human lifespan is 300 years.'

Content: From the beginning they are taught that they can live up to 300 years. Your body is just like a child. Whatever you tell it, it will follow. All you need to do is create a correct, strong belief. If you are uncluttered, things will take their own course. You will constantly rejuvenate yourself.

Content: You are made to believe that human beings age and die by seventy to ninety years. By the time you become seventy, you are prepared for death. You constantly say, 'Oh, I have become old, I am ready to die.' Then you prepare your body for death.

Content: 10.8 Solution for fatigue

Content: Your body creates or maintains a particular disease according to the identity that you create with respect to that disease. Tiredness, chronic fatigue and all these related disorders are directly related to this identity. We can call it the 'identity shaft'.

Content: What do we mean by identity shaft? Take tiredness for example. You connect yesterday's tiredness, the day before yesterday's tiredness, the tiredness that you experienced one month ago, etc., and create an identity shaft for yourself that says, 'By eight o'clock tonight I will become tired'.

Content: Then every day, by six o'clock, you start preparing your mind, 'By eight o'clock I will start feeling tired....' You feel compelled to fulfill your identity! So you start creating dullness or lethargy by six o'clock. You have to prove your identity because you created it.

Content: Sometimes you may even forget to prove your identity to the outer world, but you will never miss proving your identity to yourself! If the outer world doesn't believe your identity that is okay, but if you start suspecting your own identity, that is too dangerous for your ego. You will never let that happen!

Content: Even if you felt the fatigue one year ago, there is every possibility that you can update yourself today. You may not actually have that problem anymore, but you are not interested in trusting that you are free from fatigue. You want to retain the old identity.

Content: 15_Lama - Buddhist monk.

Content: Your ego can sacrifice anything except your identity. That's why you play a very polite, but cunning game, you hold onto the belief of the fatigue and become fatigued.

Content: 10.9 Solution for guilt

Content: One person came to me and said, 'I constantly suffer because of my smoking habit. The moment when I am getting ready for work, I have to smoke. But after one hour I have deep guilt. After two hours, I get up in the morning, I have to smoke - again I have to smoke - again an hour of guilt. What should I do? I am constantly suffering with guilt and I am always suffering from this habit. What should I do?'

Content: I told him, 'You should either drop smoking, or drop the guilt. Drop either thing. You will be liberated from this habit.' He was shocked to hear this. He said, 'You know that I am not able to stop smoking.

Content: If I drop the guilt also I will smoke even more! How do you say that I will drop smoking?'

Content: See, it is a vicious cycle. When you have guilt, what will you do? You will constantly keep repeating, 'I should stop smoking,' 'I should stop smoking.' Naturally what will happen? In your mind you give power to the word 'smoking'. So the memory of smoking keeps getting engraved deeper and deeper into your system. How do you expect that you will be able to stop smoking?

Content: When you cannot forgive yourself, it is called guilt. When you cannot forgive others it is called vengeance. When you unclutch, both guilt and vengeance disappear. Not only will you forgive, you will also forget because there is no longer a connection between your behavior and these thoughts.

Content: You may ask, 'If we unclutch, then how can we learn from past experiences?' Real learning from the past happens only when you unclutch from your past experiences. When you unclutch from your past experiences, the essence of your past experiences, the teachings that you need to learn from them will become part of your being.

Content: When you are continuously clutched to the past, only the pain, suffering, and guilt reflect in your being. You will never pick up the essence or the 'juice' from the past and update your intelligence. Also, if you have a deep respect for or dependence on your past, you will never be able to live in the present moment. You will be always carrying the past into the present, corrupting it and your future. How can you live blissfully if you do that? You can't! Unclutch from the past, let the lessons be easily integrated and celebrate life in the present moment.

Content: Because you believe some thoughts are connected and that they are joyous, you start giving life only to those thoughts. If you believe some thoughts are painful, you try to take energy away from those thoughts. Because of this, you don't live your whole life, you keep choosing which part to live with.

Content: Because you have gone to such an extreme of relying on your mind, you cannot understand that you can live without the mind. You are afraid that you might go to the other extreme of being a mindless person with no morality in your life. Let me tell you, a person who understands that by their very nature thoughts are unconnected will naturally lead a moral life without society's rules to tell him how to live.

Content: It is only in this type of person that you see a strong, deep sense of conscious morality. It is only in his or her life you see an extraordinary discipline. This discipline can never be shaken and this morality can never be taken away from him or her. It will be a morality that does not come out of fear or greed. True morality is the flowering of deep understanding of the self, world and god.

Content: 11. Witnessing

Content: 11.1 You are the witnessing consciousness

Content: Adi Shankara16 sings beautifully in the verses Bhaja Govindam17: Within the potter's wheel's rotation, the pivot stands still, amidst constant motion, So too a man of perfection Is poised, although engaged in action. When you understand that you are unclutched, suddenly you realize you are like the pivot of the potter's wheel, unmoving and untouched by the kind of pot being made, the kind of experiences being felt. Understand that you are not the movie being played. You are just the screen on which the movie is projected. The screen is never touched by the play of emotions that appears on it!

Content: The boy sage Ashtavakra18 tells King Janaka19, Verily you are ever free You are the one seer of all and really ever free. Verily this alone is your bondage, that you see the seer as other than such. When the scene affects the seer, the problem of bondage starts. Our very being is pure.

Content: But the moment you start thinking of yourself as someone other than the seer, the problem starts. This is the only bondage that you have. There is no other bondage.

Content: Even when you create a shaft and suffer, remember, even this idea 'I am creating a shaft', is one more shaft. The shaft you created ten years ago, the shaft you created nine years ago, and the shaft you created yesterday are not connected. Connecting all these shafts is one more shaft! That's all. When this understanding goes to a deeper level within you, it will take care of itself. Your thinking and actions will be transformed.

Content: People ask me, 'Tell us some way that we can always remember to not create any shafts.' When you are trying to create that assurance, be very clear you are creating one more shaft. The moment you decide this is joy and you want this to permanently be with you, what have you done? You have started creating one more shaft. Then you are in trouble. Whether it is joy or pain, the moment you create the shaft, you are in trouble.

Content: 17 Bhaja Govindam - Collection of 32 (sometimes 34) devotional verses composed by enlightened master Adi Shankara. This is considered to be the essence of Vedanta and Advaita, non duality.

Content: 19 Janaka - Indian King of the kingdom of Videha with the capital of Mithila, well-known for his righteousness.

Content: 11.2 Bliss is choiceless

Content: Do not try to retain the feeling of bliss that comes with unclutching. You felt the bliss itself because you understood that nothing could be retained. You felt deep joy because you were free from choices, because you felt completely disconnected, because you realized you are unclutched. Now don't try to clutch again.

Content: If someone tells you, 'I am in ecstasy because I played tennis and I enjoyed it,' you think, 'Playing tennis brings ecstasy.' You create an equation. You then begin continuously playing tennis, hitting the ball over and over. But nothing happens to you, no ecstasy. Then you think that the person who shared his tennis experience cheated you.

Content: Be very clear, while playing he was not at all concerned about joy; he was completely relaxed while he was playing. Because of this, joy simply happened. But somehow he associated it with tennis, that's all. It was not the tennis that caused the joy. While he was playing tennis he dropped into the state of being unclutched and experienced joy. If he could remain in the unclutched state he would remain in a state of joy whether he was playing tennis or not.

Content: Choicelessness is bliss. If you choose it, bliss will not happen because you have made a choice and thus eliminated it as a possibility. When you are choiceless, when you are completely relaxed, bliss simply happens in you. When you are concerned about bliss, your very concern ensures that you will not experience it.

Content: With unclutching you are able to transform all your thoughts into reality. Be very clear, this is a very simple, powerful method to make your dreams into reality. Whatever dreams you have about the future, if you can relax, if you can unclutch, suddenly you see a new kind of energy flowing through your thoughts. This energy will take care of your dreams. This is the state of restful awareness, the essence of the research and development that went on in the world of inner science. Unclutching is the ultimate technique that can give you everything.

Content: 12. False identities

Content: 12.1 Ego is not necessary

Content: Just understand this one simple truth. In order for an animal to breathe, it does not need ego, it does not need an identity or any character. But as a human being, you are afraid that if you drop your identity you will not be able to use your body. You fear that something bad will happen to it.

Content: You are afraid that if you drop your identity, your body will not function smoothly. You have an idea about yourself as 'I am somebody's father, I am somebody's brother, I am somebody's son.' This idea that you have, this identity that you carry, this ego that you carry, is not necessary for the smooth functioning of your body and mind. Of course it is very difficult to believe this.

Content: Do you need to think about breathing, making your heart beat, digesting food, or eliminating wastes from your body? No! This very fact should help you to realize that your ego is not needed

Content: for you to survive. There is something beyond the ego that is keeping you alive and functioning. If your existence depended on your ego what a catastrophe that would be! We would not be able to manage it!

Content: We are so much more than our ego, but that too is hard to believe. A small story:

Content: A person who was born blind went to a doctor and asked the doctor, 'Please do something and give me eyesight.' The doctor said, 'I will perform surgery and you will be able to see. Then you will be able to walk without the help of a cane.' The blind man said, 'Doctor, I understand you will perform surgery. I understand that I will regain my eyesight. I am not able to understand how I can walk without my cane!'

Content: We cannot convince the blind man that after the surgery he will be able to walk without a cane! We cannot convince him intellectually because over time he has started associating his walking itself with the cane. Only after he gets his eyesight can a blind man understand that he can walk without a cane.

Content: Similarly, you do not need your ego to live in the body and mind. You can live inside your body, inside your mind without the ego. Just as the blind man who had gained his vision does not need a cane to walk, you do not need the ego to live.

Content: 12.2 Ahankar and mamakar - outer world identity and inner world Identity

Content: We all have two identities, the identity we project to the outer world, and the identity we believe to be us in the inner world. The identity you carry inside your mind is called mamakar in Sanskrit. It will always be much smaller than what you really are. You carry or remember all your failures, past mistakes and guilt and constantly try to work on them. This identity that you carry in the inner world is based on greed.

Content: You constantly try to chisel your identity to become better. The identity you project to the outer world is called ahankar. Ahankar is your visiting card. You print everything that you want others to know about you on this card. It will always be more than what you have and what you are because you think you have to sell yourself. It becomes a basic need, especially in societies where you have to market yourself. There is a fear compelling you to project yourself as more than what you are.

Content: Ahankar is based on a superiority complex. Mamakar is based on an inferiority complex. Ahankar is based on fear, mamakar is based on greed. If you spend all your energy trying to expand the ahankar, the identity that you project to the outer world, then your life becomes materialistic. If you spend your whole life chiseling and developing mamakar, the identity that you think is you, your whole life becomes moralistic and suppressed.

Content: When you project to the outer world, you project yourself based on the strongest link of the chain. When you measure yourself inside your mind, you measure yourself based upon the weakest link of the chain. The conflict between ahankar and mamakar, the conflict between the

Content: personality that you show to the outer world and the personality that you reveal in your inner world is called ‘tension’.

Content: You constantly spend your life trying to protect these two identities. When they start growing, they start fighting with each other and giving you trouble. It is like marrying two women at the same time and living with both of them at once! These two identities are purely illusions. You are something far more than these two identities that you carry around constantly.

Content: Freedom from these two identities is what I call liberation, enlightenment, moksha20, nirvana21. Whatever words you may use, it is nothing but liberation from these two identities. These two identities are bondage. When you understand that you are something beyond these two identities, you are a jeevan mukta22, liberated while living.

Content: I tell you, if you drop what you think of as you, only then you become alive. Until then, you are living and breathing, but are never really alive. Breathing is not a measure of whether you are living. Never think you are alive just because you breathe.

Content: You are something much more than what you project to the outer world and what you project to yourself. When you relax from these two identities, you achieve what is called jeevan mukti, living enlightenment. I tell you, any identity you believe about yourself that is less than you being god, is low self-esteem, because you are god.

Content: There are two reasons why your mind will never allow you to believe that you are uncluttered. Whatever you feel as your identity in the outer world, that is your wealth, relationships and such, is based on your thought shafts. If you relax from the shaft, you may lose all your identities. So, fear of losing this identity is the first reason.

Content: The next reason is your morality, your idea about what you should be doing. If you lose your identity, if you no longer trust that you are connected thoughts, your identity about yourself will be lost. The identity that you show to others will be lost and the identity that you have about yourself will also be lost. How will you then realize what is right and what is wrong for you? There is no basis to judge. So the mind will never allow you to believe that you are unclutched.

Content: Let you clearly understand, I tell you from my experience, I have never seen a person who feels complete with the identity he is projecting to the outer world or towards himself. You can’t feel you are complete because even if you try to be pure and perfect, even if you try all the practices that you can do, not just for twenty five years, but even for fifty years, you will still have the same mind. It is simply because of the mind that you are trying to chisel that doesn’t exist. If it did exist then you could chisel and make it as you want it to be and keep it as you want it to be. That base itself doesn’t exist, that shaft itself doesn’t exist so there is nothing that you can chisel.

Content: 20 Moksha - Liberation through Self Realization.

Content: 21 Nirvana - Liberation through Self Realization.

Content: 22 Jeevan mukta - A person who achieves liberation from the cycle of birth and death during his or her lifetime.

Content: As Ashtavakra says, Unattached, formless and witness of all are you. You are not your identity. You are the formless, unattached, witness of what is going on around you.

Content: As long as you are afraid, you can be exploited by your own ego. Whoever wants to exploit you, the first thing they have to do is to create fear in you. If someone wants to exploit you, he will create the fear in you that if he is not there, you will not be able to manage things. You will start believing that if he is not there, your activities will be disturbed, whether it is your company or house or any other place. He first creates the fear in you.

Content: Then, depending on the level and the intensity of fear, he starts exploiting you. In the same way, the first thing your own ego does is to clearly prove to your being that you cannot live in your body and mind without it. Once this frightens you, once you start believing that you cannot live in your body and mind without the ego, it is very easy for your ego to exploit you, to cheat you. Be very clear, it is just simple fear, nothing more.

Content: 13. Unclutch - work smart, not hard

Content: The moment you hear you are unclutched, the first fear that arises in you is, 'If I start living without connecting my thoughts, who will pay my bills? I could lose all my wealth. I could forget where I keep all my money. I may not be able to live successfully in society.

Content: How will I do my job? How will I take care of my things? Won't I not just lie down in my bed without doing anything? Why would I want to go to my office?' I ask, 'Why wouldn't you go to your office?'

Content: The moment you ask that, it means that you inherently have a little hatred or a little vengeance against your office work! This is why the moment you find some excuse, you want to escape from your work. By asking this question, you are only expressing your anger, your violence against your routine, nothing else! The question has nothing to do with unclutching.

Content: If you have such questions, just unclutch and sleep for ten days. There's nothing wrong with that. Have a vacation for ten days. Decide, 'I am going to unclutch from both the identities.' How many days do you think you can sleep? How many days do you think the cessation of activity can continue in you? Only until the tamas23 in you is exhausted. After that you will automatically start doing something.

Content: So, even if you feel it is a lack of responsibility or defeatist behavior, be unclutched for a few days. You will then understand and experience that when you are unclutched you will not have a lazy or passive attitude. Mentally you will be silent, but physically you will be active and alive.

Content: When you are in that space of irresponsibility or defeatist attitude, mentally you are very active but physically you are tired. When you are unclutched, physically you are active and alive, but mentally you are silent. You see, 33% of the body is sattva24, pure silence. 33% of the body is

Content: 23 Tamas - One of the three gunas or attributes of nature. Attribute of inaction.

Content: 24 Sattva - One of the three gunas or attributes of nature. Attribute of passive action.

Content: rajas25, restlessness and 33% of the body is tamas, deep sleep, laziness. Right now the first fear that happens in you is if you unclutch, you may become tamasic26, a lazy person. Unclutch. That 33% of your laziness will quickly be exhausted. It will disappear from your system within a few days. Then you will automatically start working from your innate intelligence. You don’t have to be driven by fear and greed to live your day-to-day life.

Content: I am not saying you should stop thinking completely. I am only saying, when you are unclutched, whatever thoughts have to happen will happen automatically. Initially when you are unclutched you will feel as if no thoughts are happening. Later you will understand, even after unclutching, whenever thinking is necessary, the mind is clutched. Whenever thinking is not necessary, the mind is unclutched. Your mind is being used as an instrument, not as a master.

Content: We can live purely from inspiration. But the problem is, we are never given that confidence. We are never given the courage that we can live simply by inspiration. Sometimes you can see that for no reason you radiate excitement, for no reason you radiate intelligence. That is what I call inspiration. It may last only for a few moments, but you need to realize that those few moments can become a way of life for you. If we remain unclutched, then continuous inspiration will happen in our lives. Unclutching directly kindles the energy of the being. This energy is the energy of inspiration, the energy of unclutching.

Content: Are ‘you’ needed to run your life?

Content: Understand one important thing, we have an automatic intelligence that can run our lives, that can take care of our day-to-day responsibilities. Not only can it run our lives, it can maintain, extend, and expand our lives as well.

Content: But society conditions you from a young age. You are taught that you cannot run without planning, without fear or greed. Your self-respect is taken away from you. You are made to lose trust that you can lead your life spontaneously, without fear or greed.

Content: That is why constantly you try to infuse greed or fear into yourself. You try to use fear and greed as fuel to make your life run, to make your life alive. Be very clear, you cannot run your life based on fear and greed. If you are driven by fear and greed, you will carry a constant irritation in you.

Content: From morning until night, from the moment you wake up until the moment you go to sleep, you will carry a constant irritation in you. You just wait for a reason to explode. Just one small touch is enough, and you are ready to jump on the other person.

Content: He does not even need to make any mistake, just coming in front of you is enough to trigger you! This happens because of the strain of running your life through fear and reed. If you just relax, the automatic intelligence of Existence will run your life beautifully for you. Your actions will be automatically propelled by the energy of Existence.

Content: Technique - ‘I am not the doer’

Content: Ashtavakra says, You who have been bitten by the great black serpent of egoism ‘I am the doer’

Content: Drink the nectar of the faith, ‘I am not the doer’ and be happy.

Content: Ashtavakra gives this technique to the king and seeker, Janaka. Please understand that simply

Content: thinking that ‘I am not the doer’ or having faith that ‘I am not the doer’ will not liberate you

Content: directly. This technique by itself will not liberate you. It will just make you tired! You are not

Content: able to remember that you are not the doer continuously without a break. The moment you

Content: understand that you are not able to remember ‘I am not the doer’ all the time, you will be c o m p l e t e l y frustrated and you will just drop the mind. The moment you drop the mind, the truth

Content: that you are not the doer will simply become reality! That is the technique suggested here.

Content: Unclutching - a self-purifying and evolutionary technique

Content: This is a very simple understanding of unclutching. All you need to do is remember to unclutch

Content: whenever you start giving meaning to old thoughts or whenever you connect with old thoughts

Content: and allow them to bother you.

Content: Do not create, maintain or destroy any thought. If you don’t do any of these three things, you are

Content: the Supreme Self, Parabrahma27! Unclutching is like a self-purifying method.

Content: For any technique to be self-purifying and liberating, the moment you become subtle, the

Content: technique should also become subtle, by itself. Unclutching is one such technique.

Content: The technique that does not become subtle by itself stays in the gross level. If it is not able to kill

Content: itself, if the technique is not able to commit suicide, it will kill you! The beauty with the

Content: technique of unclutching is that it will become subtler and subtler by itself as you become

Content: subtler. Finally, it will dissolve.

Content: Unclutching through the breath technique

Content: Let us see how unclutching is related to what happens every moment in your body - breathing!

Content: Between the incoming breath and the outgoing breath is a neutral space.

Content: Our identity exists in the incoming and outgoing breath spaces. Constantly you can connect and

Content: see you are connected when you are aware of your breath. But in the gap of the neutral space

Content: your identity does not exist. You don’t connect the gaps, so you jump over this gap.

Content: You think that the breathing space or breathing time is more than the neutral space. This is

Content: because you have more thoughts when breathing. Because you give more emphasis to your

Content: identity you think that the time of the incoming breath and outgoing breath is more than the time

Content: of neutral space. In reality it is not. It is just a psychological game.

Content: 27 Parabrahma - Supreme Being.

Content: Meditation instructions

Content: We will now do a guided meditation for unclutching. Once you have experienced unclutching, you don’t even need to practice any technique. Just remembering the unclutching experience is enough, you will again be in that same space! Only in the beginning you need to relax - just like the hanging bird taking off. Once you take off, you don’t need to bother about anything.

Content: Close your eyes. Sit straight. For the first few moments, inhale and exhale, as deeply as possible. Slowly start witnessing only the incoming breath. Do not bother about the outgoing breath or the neutral space. Just witness the incoming breath first. Be the witness. Be aware of the incoming breath.

Content: (After five minutes)

Content: Now slowly start witnessing only the outgoing breath. Forget about the incoming breath or the neutral space. Just witness and be aware of only the outgoing breath.

Content: (After five minutes)

Content: Now slowly, very slowly, be aware of both the neutral spaces - when your incoming breath turns into the outgoing breath, and when your outgoing breath turns into the incoming breath. Be aware. Witness both the neutral spaces alone. Intensely be aware of both the neutral spaces.

Content: (After five minutes)

Content: Now, be aware of the incoming breath, neutral space, outgoing breath, and neutral space. Be unclutched. Whatever thought comes in your mind do not connect it to anything. Don’t even think that you are thinking. Even that idea comes because you connect your thoughts. Everything is just completely independent. So do not connect them and create one more thought that you are thinking.

Content: Let the independent thought bubbles rise and fall. Let the independent thoughts come and go. Do not connect them and think you are thinking. Be unclutched. If they come, let them come. If they go, let them go. Your idea that you are thinking is a lie. Relax from your mind. Let go. Be liberated.

Content: Unclutching – anytime anywhere

Content: When you sit, naturally some thoughts will come. The moment you see a thought coming, do not give meaning to it. You give it meaning only if you connect it with your past. Without giving meaning to it just remember to unclutch, and see what happens.

Content: The moment you remember, 'Let me unclutch from this thought, let me not give meaning to it,' for a few seconds there will be a small silent gap. The moment you are aware that there is silence, it will become one more thought. Then unclutch from that thought also. Then, again there will be a gap of a few seconds. Then, one more thought will come, 'I am in silence' or 'I am unclutching'. Unclutch from that thought also. Just the gap or the silence should become longer and longer. That is the whole idea.

Content: Naturally it is the nature of the mind to wander somewhere after a few minutes. The moment you remember or become aware that the mind has wandered, unclutch. There is no need to have guilt or be agitated that the mind has wandered. The moment you remember, unclutch, that's all.

Content: In the initial level it may be very gross, like a solid fight. You may have to utter the word 'unclutching' like a mantra28. But in just a few moments, you will see it becomes a subtle process. With unclutching...

Content: Every moment will be new.

Content: Every moment will be ecstasy.

Content: Every moment will be joy.

Content: Every moment will be excitement.

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. Today Hindu temples remain in a few countries but the Hindus who worshiped in them have been ethnically cleansed.

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. The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam has been recently acknowledged by the United Nations for the persecution of The SPH and the KAILASA global community, especially the affected women and children.

Content: The KAILASA with de facto spiritual embassies operating across over 100 countries and having presence across the globe as the largest spiritual knowledge source on Hinduism is spiritually governed with the life positive, all-inclusive, universal policies sourced from Hinduism revived by the SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam. Having enriched and ennreached more than one billion individuals over the past 27 years the KAILASA raises the voice to protect Hindus, defend Hindus and preserve the Hindu narrative for the world.
