A photograph of a man walking across a dirt courtyard beside a cream two-storey building with a red-trimmed roof edge and a red door. He wears a saffron-orange wrap with red borders, a rudraksha mala around his neck, and sandals, and holds a long wooden staff in one hand. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders, and a red-ochre mark is visible on his forehead. Behind him are green shrubs, a tree, and red soil piles. The person is the only one in the scene; the figure matches the page's Swamiji reference through saffron wrap, long hair and mala, so an appearance-based candidate is present.A seated man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe and orange shawl, sits with palms pressed together in namaste on a red upholstered throne-like chair inside a thatched bamboo hut. A red and white flower sits near the chair and a small red rug lies at its base. To the left are white plastic chairs and a table with papers and a map. At right, a printed portrait shows a smiling man in a yellow turban and dark ornate robe, captioned Nithyananda and copyright text.

He sits on a red cushioned surface, leaning toward a black laptop open on a low surface. Two younger men in white shirts and orange shawls lean in to look at the laptop screen, one with his hand on the keyboard. Another person's dark-haired head is visible in the foreground. A red fabric backdrop and woven straw matting form the setting. The man's distinctive long hair, saffron wrap and rudraksha mala match the page's Swamiji cues, so he is described as Swamiji (probable), seated among devotees at a laptop.A smiling man with long, dark, wavy hair and a red bindi on his forehead sits in front of a red fabric backdrop with a curved wooden frame and a woven bamboo wall to the right. He wears an orange-saffron shawl draped over his shoulders and a pendant necklace of rudraksha-style beads. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha ornament cues suggest Swamiji, shown in person at a Deepavali event.A photograph of four men seated in a room with a woven straw wall and a red throne-like seat. A man in the centre-right wears an orange robe, a long rudraksha mala and a red bindi, with long dark hair; he sits on the red seat, leaning forward to look at a small silver laptop. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti-style clothing wearing a gold watch and rings holds a printed card with a colourful illustrated design. A third man on the left in a cream shirt and gold bracelet gestures toward the card. A fourth man at the far right wears white clothes with an orange shawl and bends over the laptop, which he is operating. The scene appears to be a casual briefing around a laptop and printed material.A smiling man with long, dark, wavy hair and a red bindi on his forehead sits in front of a large red cushion or drape, raising one open hand as if speaking. He wears an orange-saffron shawl over a dark red garment and a pendant on a cord. The setting appears to be a seated teaching or satsang with a thatched, woven roof edge visible at the upper right.

A photograph of a silver yantra-form object on a silver tray, covered with red kumkum powder and draped with a garland of white flowers. Behind it, stainless steel bowls hold fruit, sweets and grains, with green and orange fruits visible. No people are visible; the scene is a ritual offering arrangement.A photograph of a floor arrangement of brass oil lamps in an indoor room with a concrete floor. Several tall brass lamp stands with tiered, pagoda-like tops and round bowl-shaped drip plates are set out in rows, with small clay lamps placed between them. A carved gold-painted wooden throne with lion-like carved legs and a maroon cushion stands at the left.

No faces of a person are visible in the frame.A night fire ritual at a shrine with a blue-skinned multi-armed Kaali murti adorned with gold jewellery and a crown, set against dark draped cloth and flowers.

A large flame rises from the brick-lined fire pit in the foreground, and a standing electric fan sits behind the seated figure. Red drapery, hanging tinsel and a floral arrangement decorate the background. The long-haired figure's appearance is consistent with the page's description, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the figure is described by role.A large seated crowd fills a tented hall with a blue carpet, where women and girls in white saris and mundus with gold borders sit cross-legged facing the front. Some wear orange or saffron shawls, and a few women in brown, yellow and green saris are mixed in. Colourful woven hanging banners and yellow lanterns decorate the tent ceiling, and portrait banners line the side walls. No a person candidate is clearly visible in the frame.A photograph of a ritual feast at an indoor temple hall. Several men in white dhotis and white shirts sit cross-legged on the floor around a silver tray holding a red-decorated deity murti garlanded with white flowers. They reach toward tiered rows of metal bowls and plates filled with food, sweets and fruit arranged on wooden steps. Behind them, figures in orange robes sit near a stone-like raised platform with a silver kalasha pot and flower arrangements. The setting suggests prasad distribution after a puja.

Title:

THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM JGM HDH BHAGAVAN NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM

On 21 Oct 2006, Deepavali the festival of lights was celebrated amidst great joy at the Aadhi Peetha, Bidadi, Bengaluru Aadheenam in the presence of Swamiji. Deepavali is celebrated to symbolize slaying of our ignorance and ego and our rebirth as new individuals. At the Aadhi Peetha, Bidadi, Bengaluru Aadheenam, the day started with Guru pooja (obeisance to the primeval Guru) under the sacred banyan tree, followed by blessings and sweets from Swamiji. Crackers were burst late in the evening, followed by Kaali pooja and Chandi homa from 9:30 pm to 4:30 am the next day morning. Chandi homa is a fire ritual that employs a series of 700 mantras that describe in detail, stories of how Mother Kaali slays different types of devils who symbolically represent our ignorance and ego. 108 types of food items were offered as Prasad and served to those gathered upon conclusion of the event. Swamiji explained the significance of the Kaali pooja and Chandi homa thus: Mother Kaali is the Cosmic Energy itself. She is the creative energy out of which the whole universe emerged. By worshipping her, by meditating upon her name, by chanting mantras on her, we are connecting to the Cosmic Energy itself. On this Deepavali day, this energy is fully available to planet Earth. If you sit erect and chant the mantras, from the Swadhishtana chakra (the vital energy center below the navel that is responsible for the fear emotion), vibrations will flow and simply open all the seven 7 vital energy centers in you. This is a meditation, not just a ritual. If you chant the mantra 'Om aim hreem kleem chaamundaayai vichche swaaha', it will simply awaken the kundalini shakti (the vital energy which lies dormant in the base energy center at the bottom of your spine). It will transform your whole being and raise you to a different frequency of Consciousness. Mother Kaali holds a sword in her upper left hand and a severed head in her lower left hand. This symbolically shows that if the ego is cut with the sword of knowledge, with the sword of enlightenment, you are blessed and protected. The other two hands show blessing and protection. While the two left hands show the technology employed for the death of the ego, the other two hands show the benefits of this technology, by showing blessing. Today is not only Deepavali celebrations but also the day when Swamiji fully settled in the body, 9 months after the enlightenment experience. Today is the day Swamiji fully asserted the enlightened Being. An enlightened being can settle in the body only upon Parashakti's (Divine Mother) grace. Only by Her grace can the enlightenment start expressing or moving through the body. So on this day, let us offer our humble gratitude to Her and request Her to accept all of us and work through us to experience Nithyananda - Eternal bliss. Let us all enter into this grand meditation and experience Nithyananda! She is the one who can take us beyond all our desires to the state of Nithyananda - Eternal bliss! Following are pictures from this event.
