Content: Paramahamsa Speaks...

Content: This book is the path-breaking message conveyed by Paramahamsa Nithyananda in the television interview 'Being in Seattle' conducted in Seattle, USA during the 2007 World Tour of Paramahamsa.

Content: In his own words, the interview reveals the multifarious manifestations of Paramahamsa and the multiple dimensions of his ground-breaking mission transforming the entire humanity penetrating right upto the grassroots level.

Content: Here is the interview between the interviewer and Paramahamsa Nithyananda, lovingly called 'Swamiji'.

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks... 1

Content: Interviewer (I): Welcome to “Being in Seattle”. I'm Rosemary Brocolli, and this is a very special program for me today. I am having the opportunity to actually sit across from a recognized enlightened master and I am just so thrilled to just jump in and talk with Swamiji with all of you. Welcome, Swamiji.

Content: Paramahamsa (P): Welcome!

Content: I: Swamiji, one of the things I am really excited to talk to you about, one of the marks of an enlightened person is living in

Content: the moment, and for a lot of people in my audience, this is something that we are striving for. So, during our talk today, I would love it if you could start by answering what does it really feel like to be in the moment.

Content: P: First thing - Living in the moment happens only when you are really enjoying this moment. We should understand, why are we so much caught in the past. Because it always feels that memories are really much more solid than the reality. Thinking that memories are more solid experience than the reality is what we call illusion.

Content: Even in your day to day life you can see: when you go to some place on vacation or a picnic with the family, first thing you do is take photographs. You stand, smile and take photographs so that later on you can see the photograph and enjoy.

Content: You don't really exactly enjoy the very moment. But you make everything into

Content: past and you know how to enjoy the past. Somehow, our mind is trained to believe that the past is more enjoyable, joyful, blissful, colorful than the present. That is the first thing which we need to understand.

Content: I: Let's let the audience know a little about your past. You were born in South India and here you have a tradition of having astrologers present at birth. Can you just tell the audience a little about what happened to the astrologer?

Content: P: First thing, in the Vedic tradition, they have a special beautiful science called astrology. Based on the time of the birth, they predict the life course of that soul. We believe that every soul consciously decides on the time and the place and parents to take birth based on their mission, based on their decision on how to live. So, based on that theory, the astrologer sits and predicts how the main course of the life of that person will be.

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks... 4

Content: Of course, the person who predicted my horoscope was in this field for nine generations. It's not just a profession, it's their life. He has predicted so many things about all my elders and other family people and everything came true.

Content: He predicted that I will become a Paramahamsa, means the Enlightened One. Leader among the swamis, rajasanyaasi he calls it. Not only that, after writing, my horoscope, he said that he is going to die within 21 days. He was very old at that time. He said, 'After writing this horoscope, I don't want to touch anything else. I've done the best. Now it is time for me to relax.' After that horoscope, he did not touch anything else, and as he predicted, on the 21st day he passed away, left the body. This can show the authority with which he was living, the authenticity by which he was practicing that science. When you practice the science as a profession, there is always a little bit of marketing. But he was a person from R&D,

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks... 5

Content: research and development, not the marketing department.

Content: I: I also want to say that astrology in the Vedic sense is so much different. What I would like to mention to all of you listening is that what we want to do is really go beyond Western understandings of some of the things you are talking about, Swamiji.

Content: P: In the original astrology, the Sanskrit word is called jyotisha. It means, showing the way, or path, to the light. Originally, the astrology science was created to choose the right path towards ultimate enlightenment for every individual. They would see the person's mental setup, and decide the right path in which he will become enlightened, the ultimate experience. As a byproduct, these people had learned the science of predicting the major activities, day to day things, which can happen in life. But, the astrology is not originally created just to predict when you will get married, who you will get

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks... 6

Content: married to, when you will find your love, when you will find your car, or when you will find your new home. No! That is only a byproduct. The main purpose of astrology is to find and choose the right path towards liberation or enlightenment.

Content: I: Tell the audience about your path. You had a regular childhood. Did you have any brothers and sisters?

Content: P: Yes, I had one younger brother and one elder brother.

Content: I: And so, up until the age of 17, then I know that you went to your mother and what happened?

Content: P: I was fortunately born and brought up in a place which is a spiritual nerve center of India. That place is called Arunachala. You may have heard of Ramana Maharshi, a great enlightened master from this place in southern India. Many of the people in your audience must have visited, because that is

Content: a very famous spiritual nerve center which attracts millions of devotees, seekers and visitors every year from around the world. I was born and brought up there. That very ambience, that very place is like a spiritual university. Continuously, the spiritually related debates, discussions, class sessions, festivals, ceremonies will be going on throughout 365 days 24/7. So, that ambience gave me a lot of inspiration and courage to experiment. The city still boasts the unbroken lineage of living enlightened masters for the last 2000 years. I have seen so many siddhas, yogis, rishis, munis, enlightened beings. They all were inspiration to travel, to do a little research and development in that path.

Content: I:I think it would be helpful to the audience to know that as a young person, what did you think that these masters were. I mean, how were these masters different from other people?

Content: P:They were so joyful, ecstatic all the time. Come what may in life, I have never seen suffering or disturbance in their faces,

Content: even though they lived in utter poverty which is a chosen conscious choice by them. Consciously deciding poverty, sacrifice and service.

Content: I: Why would they do that?

Content: P: They just feel that they don't need anything. So much of fulfillment in their inner space. There was one such master with whom I had the fortune to live with. Everyday about 300 to 400 people would come to have his darshan, to see him, get his blessings, to get his opinions about

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks...8

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks... 9

Content: their life and to find the path. He had taken a vow, before he slept, he would not have any money or anything kept for the next day. Whatever was around him, he would distribute it to people. Beggars, poor people, whoever came to him, he would just give anything that came to his hand. At the end of the day, he would just sleep with his hand under the head. Just a complete, beautiful life. When I saw him, I was inspired... 'Oh God, these people were out of the world. They can see anybody and tell anything going on inside the mind of someone or what is going to happen about his future. I had the fortune of living around him for 6 years. I have never seen him eating or drinking or sleeping. He would just lie down. I have never seen him having a regular sleep like us.' This really shocks us. Sorry, forgive me if you are not able to digest what I am talking, but I have seen. I am also a person with a lot of

Content: logic, and I doubt everything, I question everything. And, when you live around this kind of a person, the impression which he makes on you is amazing. Because, I don't have to doubt, I am seeing a living example. There is somebody sitting in front of me. He never used even clothes. He was just naked and just living like a child, happily. Happily living like a child. His name is Isakki Swamigal. He just lived so happily. I have never seen him in low mood. Continuously overflowing, bubbling with joy. He didn't need anything from the outer world. He was just completely fulfilled. We call in Sanskrit, atmorahitaha, means completely fulfilled in himself. He was radiating, giving so much to the outer world, but never took anything from the outer world. When you see this kind of a person, the impression which he makes on you, you just can't imagine.

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks...10

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks... 11

Content: hometown, just travel from village to village by walk, beg and eat in the places wherever you are given food and learn from life and the masters whom you meet on the way. It's a very beautiful journey.

Content: I:I want the audience to know that in school, you did very well in school, I mean you were very good in math and science, so you were really ahead of yourself.

Content: P:Not only ahead, I had whatever the outer world can offer. I never had an insecurity or something which the outer world can offer. I had everything. I consciously decided to travel in this path and I went and told my mother that I wanted to take the sanyaas life, the spiritual journey, the research and development in the inner science. She just started crying. I said that "you mean I could not go?" She said "No, I can't say that you cannot go. It's only that I am not able to tolerate it now, or digest it now, so I am crying. I can't stop you.

Content: I:Is he your master then?

Content: P:I can say he was my main inspiration source. I had two or three people teaching me. I have learned from many people. He was one of the main inspiration sources. You can say he is one of my masters.

Content: I:Can you explain to us the journey you did from one master to another?

Content: P:In India if you want to learn you are supposed to take up wandering path. You are supposed to leave your home and

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks...12

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks... 13

Content: You can continue your path". She gave me her blessing, I continued my path.

Content: Around 9 years, I lived wandering. Begging and eating, sleeping under the trees, studying at the feet of different masters. One important thing you should know: India is such a holy land; every village, when you walk, people know that you are a seeker, they offer food. That society itself is programmed to take care of the seekers. For years I wandered the length and breadth of India. Studying, learning, practicing, experimenting in the inner science, and the beauty of that social system is all 9 years I was given food, shelter, clothes, with respect.

Content: I: Can you please tell the audience about the moment of your enlightenment?

Content: P:I can say a few strong experiences which led to enlightenment because the enlightenment itself I am not able to verbalize, it was such a powerful strong

Content: experience. Maybe I'll tell one or two experiences which I can verbalize.

Content: The first experience was like an opening in the inner space. Even with closed eyes I was able to see all 360 degrees. Whatever is around me, not only see, I was able to feel... See, seeing is a very superficial word. Seeing is something like seeing with your two eyes. But if you are able to see the same thing without your eyes, in the inner space, you can feel everything is part of you. Anything you see in your inner space is part of you, am I right?

Content: So, I was able to see, means, feel everything inside my inner space as part of me. If I am to tell a few more words... Now you know you are alive inside your skin. You know you are living inside your skin. I felt the same life not only inside my skin, but outside my skin also. I felt that I am alive in the rocks, in the plants, in the flowers, all the living beings, animate and inanimate things around me.

Content: That was the first experience.

Content: It opened a deep compassion and love for everything. Reverence for life has happened by that experience. I felt very clearly, experienced, I am not alive just inside my skin, I am alive in that skin also. I am alive inside this furniture also. I am alive in that plant also. I am alive in that flower. I just experienced, I am alive in everything around me, inside and outside my skin, I am alive. That was the first opening. We call it 360 degrees experience.

Content: And, anybody who goes through this experience, not only he becomes nonviolent, the reverence for life comes. Acceptance of every Being, as he is, starts coming into yourself. Then, religious fanaticism, communal fanaticism, linguistic fanaticism, everything disappears. Everything disappears. You can't die or kill somebody for just some concept's sake. You will have the reverence for life. Not just nonviolence. Just nonviolence is the negative part of reverence for life. The positive part is reverence. The real respect. Acceptance for life happens, when you experience that you are alive, not just in your skin, you are alive in every skin, inside every skin. That was the first glimpse which happened in me which led to enlightenment. The enlightenment itself, if I have to define, verbalize, I can't exactly verbalize. Maybe I can verbalize one or two symptoms of enlightenment. The inner chattering

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks...16

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks... 17

Content: continuously which happens, has disappeared. See, your inner chattering happens in you only when you say no to the life.

Content: If you say utter, complete, yes to life, to the present moment, there won't be any inner chattering. If you say YES to the present moment, there won't be inner chattering. Inner chattering is the fight between the identity which you show to the outer world and the identity which you believe in the inner world as you. We carry two identities. One identity which you project to the outer world, how we want world to recognize or know us. This will always be much more than what we are. Inner chattering is nothing but the fight between the identity which you show to the outer world and the identity which you carry in the inner world. When you say a deep yes to the present moment the inner chattering disappears. That is what has happened in enlightenment. It was

Content: such an amazing, unbroken, continuous, intense joy, bliss, love, and compassion.

Content: I: Most of us try to get this state with drugs. But what you're saying is that it goes beyond what we can achieve...

Content: P:The problem with drugs is you only become addicted to it and you need to use more and more after every session. With drugs, after every session you need to increase the dosage. With meditation, after meditation you can decrease the time of the meditations. After every session of the drug, you become more and more addicted to it. After every session of meditation you are more and more liberated from it.

Content: ABOUT THE MISSION

Content: I: Your foundation is called Life Bliss Foundation, and you founded it in I think 2003, and just in a very short period, I think you have something like 1000 centers, active around the world.

Content: P: 1000 centers, and more than 100 ashrams.

Content: I: And you are only 29? But your mission really is to do what? I mean you really have a big mission.

Content: P: Maybe the divine grace is working. See, in the last four and a half years of mission, we have 1.2 million seekers initiated and 5000 healers initiated, and 500 teachers trained and initiated, teaching around the world. We have more than 35 different programs for enlightenment seekers. We have programs for the people who work in the line of intellectual field, for the people who are in the corporate field, for the people who want to work on de-addiction, for the people who want to work on their health… For the different purposes, we have designed different programs. Of course, everything ultimately leads to enlightenment, leads to that one science. We have a new yoga system, Nithya Yoga. And, we have designed so many different programs, and created so many

Content: teachers, and we have more than 1000 ashramites, living inside our ashrams, practicing and presenting these great truths to the world. We have 150 swamis who are full time dedicated to practice and do research and development in the science and offer it to the world. This whole mission has happened just because of the honesty and commitment to the truth that we stand for.

Content: I: I know one thing very dear to your heart is offering programs to young people. Could you just tell us a little bit about your program.

Content: P: We have three levels of programs. Between 0-7, below the age of seven, we have programs to help kids and teach how to live without getting conditioned by society and how to retain the joy. Just retaining the innocence itself is a beautiful thing. For further information, you can go to our website or contact the nearest center.

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks…20

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks… 21

Content: There is next level program between 7 and 14 where we teach them the basic science of meditation and how to awaken their intelligence to internalize the social laws without making them as conditionings. See, if you understand about the society and the ways in which society works and civilization operates, you will know how to play with the mass, but how not to get conditioned by it. The coat is necessary to go to the office. When you come back from your profession or your office, you can just be with yourself. You can become completely relaxed from the conditionings.

Content: I: Now, these kids, do they go away to a school or do they live with their parents?

Content: P: We offer in two ways. One, the web based. The other one, the classroom based. And the third thing, we give them just weekend workshops. We have a next level program - after the age of 21, for one year, we give them complete free

Content: food and stay in India and teach them about the basic science of enlightenment. This is completely offered free. Anybody from around the world can come and stay there for one year. One year we will give them free food, and stay, and all the educational materials freely they can learn the inner science, study the enlightenment science, and practice in that beautiful ambience.

Content: We believe that knowledge is free because I myself was given this science freely. We have a spiritual university in India where we offer this program. Not only they can learn, but they can have the certificate to teach others. We request that person only one thing, have honest seeking and not just abuse the hospitality. If you have the honest seeking, interest to learn, you are welcome to come for the one year free program. We offer them the basic accommodation, food. We have a regular program and training mechanism where

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks...22

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks... 23

Content: people can come and not only will they learn the intellectual things, they can even practice the basic sciences like ayurveda, yoga, meditation and the basic life solutions from the Vedic tradition. And they can learn how to create a better inner software for our whole life.

Content: I: I love what you just said, increase the positive energies of each person, and by doing that we are really emanating more positive energies.

Content: P: Clearing and creating the right inner software is a basic need. That is the reason we are offering all these programs freely to the public. See, it is time to save the planet earth by creating more and more people who are awakened, who are enlightened. Unless we create a critical mass of enlightened people, we can't think of saving the planet Earth, because so many calamities happening around the world, which are created by the unconscious human beings. Global

Content: warming, HIV, religious terrorism, fanaticism and so many atomic weapons getting piled. We are facing today so many dangers that unless we create a peaceful, blissful, joyful, enlightened humanity, I don't think we will be able to preserve this beautiful planet Earth. So, we are all out to create the peaceful, joyful, blissful, conscious, enlightened humanity.

Content: We request anybody who is interested, to come and check us out and if you are interested in learning more, come to India. If you are above 21 and stay there, we will be happy to share all of our wisdom. Study, internalize, and share with the people. I always tell people, knowledge is free, without copyright. I don't have copyright on any of my techniques or methods because in the East, in the Vedic tradition we believe that knowledge should be shared with anybody who is interested, who is sincere.

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks...24

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks...25

Content: I never heard anybody say it quite like this, and I think maybe my audience would be interested in this too. You said, “Responsibility is a consciousness. The moment you feel responsible for what is happening around you, that moment the divine energy will rush into you.” I love that.

Content: P: We always think we should take up the job or the responsibilities based on how much energy we have. We think, 'I have this much energy, so I should take on this much responsibility in my life.' But the truth is, when you take more responsibility, you just expand. More energy starts expressing through you. It is not that you will take the responsibility according to the energy. You will have energy according to the responsibilities which you take up. The more responsibility you take up on your shoulders, the more energy expression starts happening through you. If you feel responsible to whatever is happening around you, you suddenly become a

Content: I: Yes, and I want all of you to know that if you go to Paramahamsa's website, if you love spiritual study, it's a Mecca... I mean I myself have downloaded so many articles.

Content: P: We have something like 4700 hours of recorded discourse, 200 volumes published in 12 languages, 300 audio CDs released and 470 DVDs released. Over 200 YouTube clips are available on YouTube; you can see everything and experience, experiment, explore.

Content: I: Something that I read in your material that

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks…26

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks… 27

Content: leader. You start transforming your life and other's lives. Responsibility is one of the ways to consciously grow.

Content: Responsibility is one of the ways to consciously grow. Taking responsibility for others is the technique for enlightenment. That is what Gita calls Karma Yoga. When you really feel that you should do the karma, taking the responsibility for others, you will not even bother about results. Just out of your compassion, feeling

Content: responsible, you will start working out of overflowing responsibility. This is what we call spiritual life. Working out of overflowing energy and overflowing compassion, overflowing feeling of responsibility for everything is spiritual life.

Content: I: That's beautiful.

Content: P: Not working for greed, or based on fear. Working out of overflowing responsibility is conscious life.

Content: I: That's beautiful. That leads me into wanting to talk to you about the energy flow. I know another part of your vision or your grace to the planet is to teach us about healing, and in your system, healing is a very big thing. Can you talk to us about that?

Content: P: We help people to heal themselves by giving them simple meditation techniques. See, by your very nature, the body constantly heals itself, rejuvenates itself, and replaces itself. Even medical science agrees, the body heals itself constantly. It

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks...28

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks... 29

Content: rejuvenates itself constantly. Healer means, a person who helps the others to heal themselves more quickly in a conscious way. Now, you heal yourself but not consciously. If you are helped, taught how to heal yourself, that simple science, if you consciously start practicing that science, encouraging the self-healing system, you quickly come out of the diseases and the mental disorders. Healer is a person who helps the other person quicken the healing process which is already happening in you.

Content: I: Let's say when we try to use drugs or pharmaceutical kinds of things, that is not really dealing with the consciousness is it? What are you doing if you are just thinking "Oh, if I have this disease, I just take this drug." You're just at the level of the body right?

Content: P: See, what I am saying is, there are different levels of diseases. Just physical level diseases can be helped by the regular

Content: drugs, by the allopathy system, no doubt about it. I'm not saying that allopathy is completely false or anything, but there are some diseases, psychosomatic disorders which you need to handle from the conscious level. Just handling your body as a biomechanism is not enough. So, in those places, you need spiritual guidance, life solutions.

Content: I: Swamiji, I want the audience to know that for those of you who want to educate yourself more on the chakras. I want to really understand the chakras more myself because this is really big in your system.

Content: P: We have 5000 healers around the world. You can contact the nearest healing center or our website. Every day, 26,000 people come inside our healing centers to get healed and to meditate.

Content: I: I know that you think of meditation as a medication.

Content: P: Yes. It can be complementary. I'm not

Content: contradicting at all any other system. Just a little alteration in the way in which you think about yourself can do miracles in your body and mind. Second thing, the energy centers when you are disturbed by a particular emotion, you can see immediately that your health is also disturbed. For example, traditionally we say that navel center is disturbed by worrying emotions, unnecessary anxiety.

Content: If you have some shocking information or message from somebody, first thing your stomach will get upset. That's why you say, 'I can't stomach it', 'I can't digest it', 'I don't have the stomach to listen to all those things'. Every emotion is connected to one energy center. If you are disturbed by that emotion, you can feel the reaction in that energy center. And now, the Kirlean photography has proven the existence of energy centers. It is a science.

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks... 32

Content: I: I've heard of Kirlean photography. I know you are a scientist. Is Kirlean photography real?

Content: P: In many countries, Kirlean photography is used as an advanced diagnosis method for tuberculosis, cancers etc. With this, they are able to diagnose six months ahead of any other available diagnosis method as they can see the aura. Kirlean photography is now an accepted diagnosis method in many countries.

Content: In many countries they are using this as a diagnosis method. So, I think surely, many doors can open if we start putting a little bit of our energy into the chakra science also because the future is going to be holistic. The future is holistic. There are so many millions of people around the world, who have already started exploring in this consciousness, in the energy medicine sciences, the alternative systems.

Content: We don't have to completely say some system is right or wrong. If we take help

I always tell people, every system is a garden, go to all gardens and pluck the best flowers, and make a beautiful bouquet for yourself. Why should you miss other gardens just because you are visiting one garden! And the future is going to be in the hands of the people who accept every system with sympathy, love and with an open mind.

Content: I: Can you give us some words of comfort in terms of, lets say here in America. Some of us who see what our politicians are doing and some of the decisions, and some of the suffering that is taking place in the world... How can we look at that and not be so stressful ourselves?

Content: P: First thing, every major decision taken at the higher level is the expression of collective positivity or collective negativity, so before going out and blaming the others, or leaders, or politicians, or others, if we can put a little bit of energy towards

Content: ourselves and feel and start working to create more positive consciousness from our inner space, we will be doing something.

Content: See, there are two ways: Just talking about things, or doing things. If you are interested in just talking about things, then blame politicians, leaders. Start blaming, criticizing everybody but this is not going to be directly useful. It will only be pulling down your energy also, that's all. That is one way of working.

Content: The other way is being sincere about doing something. If you are interested in doing something, let us do what way we can to add more collective positive energy. Let us create more positivity from our side. Bring more love in your actions. Increase your frequency of consciousness. When more and more people start working on themselves, the collective positivity has to express itself through right politicians and right leaders. See, all leaders are channels of collective

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks... 35

Content: positivity or negativity created by the mass. They are also guided by the mass. So, there are two ways of looking at things: sitting and blaming things or working to create more positive energy.

Content: I think a sincere person should start working towards creating more positive energy, than blaming, criticizing, getting upset or disturbed. If you are getting upset, disturbed, what is going to happen? Except that you will have a little more depression, a little more negativity, and only then you are adding more negativity, more mass to the negative consciousness. So, I feel, revolution is not the way, evolution is the way.

Content: Every revolution promised the truth or the ultimate solution. In the last 3000 years of the history of the planet Earth, we had 5000 wars. 5000 recorded wars in the humanity. 5000 wars in 3000 years. It seems human beings were not doing anything but war, war, war. The reason is, we believed in revolution. Now it is time to believe in individual

Content: evolution. You see, the mass revolution becomes again, one more system. Anybody who comes to the power, is again led by the mass negativity or mass positivity. It is now our responsibility to add more and more positivity. That is the only thing an individual can do.

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks... 36

Content: I: Right. What we are getting more and more is understanding how we really do affect our surroundings like we are awakening to really how our being is.

Content: P: Peace needs to be brought into the

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks... 37

Content: individual's heart, then it will radiate and transform the whole planet earth. Let us all be honest to our Being and bring peace to it. You will just radiate it like a flower. And, you will add to the collective positive consciousness. You will see that expresses simply through our leaders. Instead of getting upset or disturbed by the negative decisions, just create positive energy so that they also are affected by this positive consciousness.

Content: I: Every day people are dying in ways that are painful. Now that this war is going on.... How do you deal with knowing that people are dying from suffering? How do you deal with that? Little babies, old people. How do you understand that?

Content: P: How to get rid of suffering in the world?

Content: The only way is, at least let us work so that in the near future we can avoid these kinds of things. See, what is happening is the result of our past. At least, in the

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks...38

Content: present, let us create more and more positive consciousness and energy, so that we will avoid these things in the future. If we also get agitated, disturbed, then we will again start creating more violence and negativity to stop the violence. Violence cannot stop violence. Blood cannot wash blood.

Content: Buddha says beautifully, if we start thinking with "eye for an eye" the whole world will become blind. If we start

Then from this group, this person will take another person's eye, then the whole world will become blind. The only thing we can do is start creating more and more positive, peaceful ambience inside your being and continuously work to create peace and love outside your field. That is the only possible solution.

Content: Yes, in this moment with the power I have. I may be able to do a little service with whatever I have available to me, and I may be able to send peaceful prayers and thoughts and positivie energy. Whatever I have under the control of my body and mind, I am making it positive. Instead of getting just upset with somebody or with some system or blaming the things the way in which things are going....

Content: I: So my state of being upset is being

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks... 40

Content: transmitted out into the world, and I'm really exaggerated by the condition.

Content: P: And getting agitated. See, getting agitated is not going to be productive in this situation. You understand? This war itself is created by the people who are agitated. If we are also agitated, how do you think we are going to solve the problem? We are only going to add more problem. So the only way is, do whatever you can without getting agitated.

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks... 41

Content: I: Because, I mean, technically, if there is only the present moment and I am right here, the only the thing I know is right here, and I may not realize it by being here, I really am doing something to bring peace to the whole planet.

Content: P: That is the only way by being here, you adding more and more joy or bliss or silence to the whole consciousness. By you getting agitated, already you have lost the game. Because the wars itself is created by the people who are agitated. If we are also agitated, how are we going to do something good, do something right to the planet Earth? That is not the way.

Content: See, anybody who tried in the way of revolution has made one more system, one more tradition, one more power game. It ended up in one more war. So, the only way is the way of the Buddha. The way of the peace, the way of the silence, the way of Shiva.

Content: Working with yourself, becoming a strong leader, doing things which need to be done, without getting agitated is the right way. We are doing as much as we can towards the peace and silence and bliss and helping the people who are stranded by the wars and trying to bring more and more peace into the consciousness of the leaders. We are supposed to become productive people, not agitated people.

Content: I: Right, exactly, and for those of you locally who are listening to this talk, I understand that weekly you can go to some place, is it in Seattle, in Bellevue?

Content: P: We have the Bellevue center.

Content: I: You can go on Sundays and there is a meditation.

Content: P: And you can learn more about the science which I am teaching.

Content: I: Could you just give me one meditation technique that you could suggest that we can do?

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks…42

Content: Paramahamsa Speaks…43

Content: P: Nithya Dhyaan. I call that as a technique for eternal bliss. Nithya Dhyaan, a simple technique. I can just give the steps also now. It's a five step technique. The first step, just sit comfortably and deeply inhale and exhale. Because you have lost touch, you have got disconnected from your breathing. It has become shallow because you are lost in your past and future. Inhaling and exhaling deeply will bring you inside your boundary, to the present moment. That is the first step. Of course, this meditation is described in a detailed way in our website lifebliss.org. You can download from that and practice and explore. Now also I am giving you the method. First step, the inhale and exhale intensely, deeply. Second step, intense humming so that your inner chattering will be silenced. Your inner chattering will become silenced because the catharsis will happen. The third step: relaxing and putting your awareness in every energy center. And the fourth step: Just be unclutched, means do

Content: not create chain or link of thoughts. Do not create a shaft of thoughts. Whenever thoughts arise in you, just be a witness. Sit in a relaxed way. Any word or letter or thought that rises in you, do not create, maintain or destroy it. Just witness. The fifth step, sit in a relaxed way, in a deep, prayerful way. Surrender to the whole cosmic energy. Be receptive to the whole cosmic love, energy and compassion. These five steps, in a detailed way, are described in our website lifebliss.org, Nithya Dhyaan. Download, and practice. This one technique is enough. This is the essence of my teachings.

Content: I: That's so great. Thank you so much. Well we are at the end of this hour. It was really a blessing to be with you. I think all of you can appreciate what it was like for me to look into his eyes. I've been in bliss just being able to be with you. Thank you so much.

Content: P: Thank you. So I welcome you all, let you all achieve and radiate the eternal bliss. Nithyananda. Thank you.

Content: PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA

Content: It was under the glow of the spiritual magnet Arunachala in the energy center of Tiruvannamalai in South India, that Paramahamsa was born - as Rajasekharam, to Arunachalam and Lokanayaki, on 1 Jan 1978.

Content: To Paramahamsa, academics was just another incident in life. With only the attention he gave in classes at school and polytechnic, he passed all his grades with distinction. He obtained a diploma degree in Mechanical Engineering from a leading private polytechnic in Tamilnadu. At the age of 17, he left home driven by the irresistible urge to jump into the real life that he was seeking. He wandered through the length and breadth of India and Nepal, studying Eastern metaphysical Sciences at the feet of many masters and

Content: The Srimad Karana Agama, Purva bhaga, Patala 71, Sakalotpatti vidhi, Sloka 8 & 9 (Sacred Ancient Hindu scripture) declares:

Content: इत्येवं निष्कलं प्रोक्तं परं भावमिति स्मृतम्‌।

Content: सृष्टिस्थं लोकरक्षार्थं लोकस्योत्पत्तिकारणम्‌॥

Content: साधकानां हितार्थं तु स्वेच्छया गृह्यते तनुः॥

Content: In this way (Shiva) who is Nishkala - without any body and parts, who is the Ultimate Supreme Being, who is established in the Creation, who is the Cause of the creation of the Universe, assumes a body out of His Free Will for the protection of the Universe, and for the welfare of the Spiritual seekers and Devotees.

Content: The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam is the reigning spiritual emperor of 17 ancient traditional Hindu kingdoms and the reviver of the most ancient, most peaceful, still-living and long-lasting demonstrable system that shows the possibility of peaceful co-existence amongst people. Following the coronation to establish KAILASA worldwide at the age of 16, for the past 27 years, The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam, as the face of the unified Hindus, has been single-handedly, tirelessly inspiring the dispossessed Hindu Diaspora to reclaim their Hindu centric freedom and stand unified for the centuries-old Hindu genocide.

Content: About The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam

Content: The 1008th living incarnation of Paramaśiva, The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam stands as the unifying force for the 2 billion born and practicing Hindu diaspora worldwide and established the Hindu State, KAILASA for the persecuted Hindus in over 100 countries.

Content: The SPH Nithyananda 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.

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.
