Outdoor evening procession under tall dark trees with a dusk sky. A large crowd of mostly men in white shirts and dhotis presses forward, many raising their hands. At centre a decorated palanquin or ratha topped with a golden ornamental structure and a red and gold canopy is carried above the crowd. Ceremonial items include a silver trident, a silver staff with a star finial, a metal kalasha-shaped pot, and long poles with brass finials. Several people wear saffron/orange shawls and orange cloth. A large red and gold decorated umbrella-style canopy with striped fringe stands to the right.

Bhakti - The Song of God: Nithyananda Morning Satsang (11 Nov 2010) Message

Narration

The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism, Jagatguru Mahasannidhanam, His Divine Holiness, Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam, expounded on the Cosmic Principles of Bhakti during the everyday live public talk - Nithyananda Satsang. In this talk entitled Bhakti - The Song of God: Nithyananda Morning Satsang (11 Nov 2010) Message, His Divine Holiness expounded on Bhakti sharing that "Breeze is the song of the air, the wave is the song of the ocean, the flower is the song of the plant, the fruit is the song of the tree, creativity is the song of the man, Bhakti is the song of God himself!” His Divine Holiness shared scientific research documenting that if the brain is removed and kept alive, it can process information through a computer. He shared further that all the sights, smells, sensations and sounds experienced in dream and waking states are experienced only in the parietal lobe which can be prompted to experience with nothing more than a feeder and a computer. His Divine Holiness concluded by saying if delegates feel that beyond this there is a reality and have the ability to relax into it, then they have Bhakti.
