How Not to Miss the Master

Narration:

The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism, Jagatguru Mahasannidhanam, His Divine Holiness, Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam, expounded on the Cosmic Principles of Missing during a live public talk - Nithyananda Satsang. In this talk entitled How Not To Miss The Master, The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism revealed that If you have the guarantee he (Guru) loves you, that missing will not be there. It is the fear that He may not love you anymore is the root of the missing. His Divine Holiness (HDH) shared his experience when He disrespected Arunagiri Yogeeshwara by bringing Mata Vibhutananda Puri between their relationship; He describes the relationship with Arunagiri Yogeeshwara, sharing that He tasted that extreme missing - a very painful feeling that Arunagiri Yogeeshwara may not love Him anymore. His Divine Holiness reassured everyone that the cosmos keeps everything alive to show some beautiful qualities to the world and will keep them alive just to show the courage which He is radiating, with which all of His disciples are standing with Him.
