− | == | + | === Description: === |
− | + | In today’s morning [[satsang]], Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) replies to devotees’ questions. The first question concerns why we don’t have ecstatic experiences when we desire to. Paramahamsa responds that even when the wish is strong, if the mind has doubts the experience may not occur. Second, a devotee asks if keeping silence is the best way to expand our inner space. Paramahamsa says that verbal silence is a beginning, but the goal is complete conscious silence. At that point expansion can unfold. A non-Indian devotee asks why there is a custom of touching the guru’s feet. Paramahamsa answers that guru [[puja]] is the oldest ritual of the Vedic tradition: it springs from overflowing gratitude and respect. The fourth questioner wants to know whether will is a part of our mind or our being. The reply is that it is neither – it is a bridge hanging between the two. The final question is from a youngster longing to present his parents to Swamiji. Paramahamsa comments that it is ironic that in older days parents brought their children to the guru – and now children are trying to bring the parents. He advises a sincere, loving approach with an open heart. | |

Question: Dear Swamiji, you said, “When I want the headache to disappear, I have given more energy for it to stay in me”. In that case why have I not given more energy for spiritual experiences like Samadhi and [[kundalini]] energy even though I want it? Rupak Id no. 64 | Question: Dear Swamiji, you said, “When I want the headache to disappear, I have given more energy for it to stay in me”.

Title:
Q & A: Trust, Devotion, Will, Initiation
Description:
In today’s morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) replies to devotees’ questions. The first question concerns why we don’t have ecstatic experiences when we desire to. Paramahamsa responds that even when the wish is strong, if the mind has doubts the experience may not occur. Second, a devotee asks if keeping silence is the best way to expand our inner space. Paramahamsa says that verbal silence is a beginning, but the goal is complete conscious silence. At that point expansion can unfold. A non-Indian devotee asks why there is a custom of touching the guru’s feet. Paramahamsa answers that guru puja is the oldest ritual of the Vedic tradition: it springs from overflowing gratitude and respect. The fourth questioner wants to know whether will is a part of our mind or our being. The reply is that it is neither – it is a bridge hanging between the two. The final question is from a youngster longing to present his parents to Swamiji. Paramahamsa comments that it is ironic that in older days parents brought their children to the guru – and now children are trying to bring the parents. He advises a sincere, loving approach with an open heart.

Question: Dear Swamiji, you said, “When I want the headache to disappear, I have given more energy for it to stay in me”. In that case why have I not given more energy for spiritual experiences like Samadhi and kundalini energy even though I want it? Rupak Id no. 64
Swamiji: Rupak 64, his question - Dear Swamiji you said when I want the headache to disappear, I have given more energy for it to stay in me. In that case why have I not given more energy for spiritual experiences like Samadhi or kundalini energy even though I want it.
Please understand, wanting it is one, believing it, is possible trusting it, is possible is another one. Let me give you a small story. One guy who was trying his best to get a boon from Shiva. So every morning he will pour water, milk, all kinds of offerings, he will make to Shiva deity he had and do the pooja. Sit in front of the Shiva and chant Namah Shivaya, Namah Shivaya, Namah Shivaya and literally nag Shiva to give that boon. Literally force Shiva to give that boon. Shiva was not responding at all. Finally one day he got fed up and he became angry. The greed, when it is not fulfilled turns as anger. When it turned out as anger he became so angry, he decided to teach a lesson to Shiva.
He brought one Vishnu Moorthy, Vishnu deity and started doing all the pooja to Vishnu. Just to tease Shiva, he will do everything whatever he was doing to Shiva to Vishnu, saying “you are useless God, now I am worshiping real God, who will give me the boon”, he will do, he was doing all the rituals. Finally he put incense stick also. That incense smoke was slowly moving in the wind towards the Shiva deity. He could not tolerate that incense he kept for Vishnu is being smelled by Shiva. He jumped on the deity and caught hold of the nose strongly, closed the nose nostrils. “You should not smell my incense. It is only for Vishnu, How dare this incense comes to your nose, this smell comes to your nose”.
He was so strongly holding the nostril, suddenly, in few seconds, he literally felt he is holding flesh and bones, somebody’s real nostrils, nose. When he opened the eyes he saw Shiva was sitting. He was really sitting. He was there. The moment he saw Shiva he could not control, all his anger pseudo anger everything went away. He fell at the feet of Shiva, and asked him, “please apologize me, please forgive me”. He asked for the apologize, “please forgive me”, then Shiva asked, “oh my son, what do you want tell me?” He asked his boon. Shiva gave him the boon. Suddenly this guy had a doubt. He asked Shiva, “ oh lord, I was praying to you so strongly, doing so much of puja, abishekams, sacred bath, offerings, so many things I was doing, repetition of your name, everything, why did you not appear at that time? When I was holding your nose, you should not smell my incense in anger, you appeared. What is this logic, I am not able to understand”.
Shiva so beautifully says, “Even in your greed you did not have strong trust I am in that deity. You only have to imagine Shiva is there. I am doing, he may accept. In one corner of your mind, “who knows Shiva is sitting in this”. One corner of your mind was always commenting on your action, there was never 100 percent doubtless trust. But in your anger, you did not have one inch of doubt I am there in that deity. When you held your nostril, When you held my noses strongly, even one second you did not have a doubt. Your unconscious mind was not commenting, giving the cricket commentary behind. “Who knows Shiva is in this deity. Who knows he is accepting all your milk. It is going down the drain and you are wasting your money, time, energy”. You did not have any of the doubts when you were holding my nose. You know Shiva is there and you have to take revenge. Whether in anger or whatever, whether right or wrong, those few moments without even having doubt in unconsciousness you know I am there in the deity. I am there in that deity. That strong doubtless authentic trust is the key, that is the bridge, that only makes me appear. When you have that trust, I have no other way I have to appear.
Understand, may be you wanted your kundalini energy to be awakened, Samadhi to happen, but behind your mind, your unconscious is constantly giving commentary. “Aa.. why do you want all this? You think you will get it? People who have done tapas for millions of years did not get it. You think this swami can just like that give you in 10 days”. Behind, the cricket commentary is going on. Wicked commentary is going on. But with the headache, you are very clear. There is no doubt. You will have it. You will ever have it. It will never leave you. Unfortunately, your mind is programmed, designed to believe the negative things strongly than positive things. It is like water flowing down. Your mind always flows towards negative things. Your headache is like a authentic trust. Your Samadhi or kundalini awakening, it is there. It is not there. It is there. It is not there. It is there. It is not there. That’s all. It is there. It is not there. It is there. It is not there. It is not there. No, it is there. It is not there. No, it is there. It is not there. It is there. That is the difference.
Rupak.., contemplate on this story. Why Shiva appeared when he was holding the nose in anger and why he did not appear when he was doing the pooja with all devotion? Contemplate on it. You will understand authentic trust is the essence.
Next Question
Question: The next question is from Preet IA Id card no.28. She is asking, “Swamiji, Is being in silence an effective way to go within? Thank you for your love and blessings”. Preet. Id card no.28
Swamiji: Swamiji, Is being in silence an effective way to go within? Thank you for your love and blessings. Preet number 28. Who?
Is being in silence an effective way to go within?
I don’t know what silence you are asking. Verbal silence may be initial step, but mental silence is the best step. Emotional silence is the ultimate step. Conscious silence is goal itself. Understand, if you are talking just about verbal silence, it’s the first step. Very beautifully our scriptures say, “Yogasya Prathamam Dwaram Vak Nirodaha”. First step in yoga is verbal silence. “Yogasya Prathamam Dwaram Vak Nirodaha”. So verbal silence is only the first step for yoga. Mental silence will be a powerful practice of yoga. Emotional silence is the last step for yoga. Conscious silence is the goal of yoga.
So, which silence you are talking about you should know. Step by step, increase the depth of the silence, that’s all. If you are in the verbal silence move to mental silence also. If you are in mental silence move to emotional silence also. If you are in emotional silence move to conscious silence also. So understand, it is which level of silence you are talking, that plays major role.
Next question.
Question: The next question is from Maggie Point, IA Id. card no.94. What is the reason we do pooja at Guru’s feet? Why do people want to touch Guru’s feet?
Swamiji: Maggie Point. May I know who it is? Yes. What is the reason we do pooja at the Guru’s feet? Why do people want to touch Guru’s feet?
It is an ancient tradition, in the Vedic tradition. When you are showered so much by Guru with his knowledge, experience, love, blessings, everything, when you are showered by him, overflowing gratitude, you don’t know what to do. So, you offer whatever you have at his feet. That is the way tradition of guru pooja started. The Vedic tradition, this is the oldest ritual. Please understand, oldest sacred ritual is guru puja. The moment first disciple was excited, Parvati, Aadi Shakti, is the first disciple. The moment she was excited with the experience of Shiva, experience given by Mahadeva, Shiva, in that extraordinary gratitude, she fell at Mahadeva’s feet and offered whatever she had at his feet. So the first ritual guru puja started.
The first intiation is Shiva sutra, the first sacred ritual is Guru pooja, first Stotra is Guru Gita. The overflowing gratitude, you pour yourself at the feet of the Master, and same way touching Guru’s feet, touching Guru’s feet also. In the ecstasy, you always feel like offering yourself at his feet. There is no logical reason, for why Guru pooja is done, why people touch Guru’s feet. It is emotional feeling connection. For some people, it looks like why should I do it. For some people it is life, they can’t live without it. I know, for millions of my disciples, morning satsang is much more important than eating food. This is bliss dose. Morning sitting in the pada pooja or the morning satsang is the powerful bliss dose. Life, is life itself.
So, please understand, it is the individual’s emotion. I also wanted to tell you one more thing, do all this only if you feel intensely connected to it. Not otherwise. It should not be done as a ritual. As far as yoga is concerned, whether you want it or not it has to be done. Because you are working on body. But when the Guru puja comes, it is in your mind. Your mind itself should feel it. Out of ecstasy and joy, you should be pouring it. There is no logical reason. What is the reason we do poojas at guru’s feet? Why do people wants to touch Guru’s feet? There is no logical reason. Just, that is the way it is. That’s all. That is the way it is.
Next question
Question: Next question is from Rajeev Ramnath, IA, Id. card number 57 is asking, “My dear Swamiji, Is the will, part of the mind or the being? How is it connected to the mind if at all?
Swamiji: My dear Swamiji, Is the will, part of the mind or the being? How is it connected to the mind if at all? Rajeev Ramnath,
It s a very important question. Very subtle question. Understand the answer, I am finishing it in two lines. Will is neither part of mind nor part of being. It is a bridge hanging. How it is connected to mind, just like a grass floating on the ocean, how is the grass or the straw floating on the ocean, connected to ocean, how is the straw floating on the ocean, connected to ocean, it is just floating. There is no controlling mechanism. By pulling the straw you cannot pull the ocean, by moving the straw you cannot move the ocean. There is no logical way, even to move the ocean and move the straw. You can’t even control the straw, by making some movement in the ocean. Your will, it is just floating on your mind. Neither you can use the will to control the mind nor can you use the mind and control the will. That is the most complicated relationship. Very complicated relationship. Then how to use the will, to control the mind? You can only increase the frequency of your being, which reduces the strength of the mind. That Is the only possible, nothing else is possible.
If more part of planet earth becomes land then less part becomes ocean. The oceans influence reduces. The ocean is like a mind. Being is like the land. Mind, sorry, Will is like a straw floating on the ocean. May be I can say bank of the ocean. Touching the land and ocean. It is there. But one thing you need to know, just like how under the water it is only land, same way under your mind it is only being. Understand that truth. It’s a perfect example. Your being is the land of the planet earth. Water, ocean, is the mind. Will is the straw, small piece of grass lying, where the ocean meets the land. With this example you can find answer to all your questions.
Next.
Question: Next question is from Murli Krishna IA Id card number 54. Is asking, “Pranam swamiji, thanks for being in my life. Swamiji, what is the best thing, can I do for older people like my parents? I don’t want them to die without knowing the truth, cosmos, that is you, I don’t want them to take again an unconscious body. Please help me. So that at least they don’t suffer next janma”. Nithyanandam! Murli Krishna IA Id card no.54.
Swamiji: Murali Krishna, his question. Pranam Swamiji, thanks for being in my life. Swamiji, what is the best thing can I do for older people like my parents? I don’t want them to die without knowing the truth, cosmos, that is you, I don’t want them to take again an unconscious body. Please help me so that at least they don’t suffer next janma.
Murali Krishna, It is so unfortunate. In those days the parents and elders used to push their kids towards gurus and spirituality, enlightenment. I have made enlightenment and spirituality as a trend, now youngsters are feeling connected, they are pushing the elders to come. Whether I can be pride and feeling happy about it, that I have made whole thing useful for the youngsters or I have to feel bad that kali is so bad, time is so bad, even old people don’t connect, and youngsters have to force. It’s a weird situation.
He is asking, “What is the best things I can do to older people like my parents?” If you ask about your child, I will tell, come on, bring it to eNgenius. But when you are asking about your older parents, the only way is approach them with the tremendous feeling, how can I contribute and make difference in their life. Take time to explain to them, during death no one else can be with them, support them, other than Guru. It is not story, thousands of my disciples who left the body, have felt the presence intensely very peacefully, beautifully left their body. There are enough of instances and evidences, stories, experiences. Tell them about it. For graceful exit, Inner awakening is compulsory. Make them understand, inspire them, convince them. That is the only way. No other solution other than inspiring, convincing and making them experience.
Next question.
Question: The next question is from Shiva Bhaskaran, IA Id card no.5, is asking, “Pranam Swamiji, The other day in satsang you mentioned that we should expand, experience and explode in every possibility, but not get attached to the object or measure achievements”. My question is, “How would you care about anything if we do not have any small attachment to it? Can you kindly tell me how?” Swamiji, Pranam, Shiva Bhaskaran IA Id card no.5.
Swamiji: Shiva Bhaskaran, Swamiji, you mentioned that we should expand, experience and explode in every possibility, but not get attached to the object or measure achievements. My question is, “How would you care about anything if we do not have any small attachment to it?”
Shiva Bhaskaran, I do not mind, small attachment, I don’t mind having small attachment, but in the name of small attachment you are not going to move out of it. What to do, that is where the problem starts. Small attachment will not even be an attachment, but the moment I grant small attachment is ok, what are you going to do now? You are going to justify all your attachments as small attachments. No, small attachment will not even be known to you. It will be there and it will not even be known to you. Anything known to you disconnect it, unclutch from it. The small attachment which can be there will be there without your knowledge.
Understand, that’s it. So, I am not going to bend for your small attachments. No, not even small attachment is allowed knowingly.. So, you go on unclutching whatever is there knowingly, then unknowingly, whatever need to be there, will be there or it will not be there, you don’t worry about it.
Next question.
Question: The next question is from Divya IA Id card no 85 who is asking, Swamiji, “Would you say something about our duty to our parents, teachers, priest and the master according to the Vedic culture? This kind of knowledge is almost lost in the west. Especially I would like to know about disciple’s duty towards the master again according to Vedic culture”.
Swamiji: It is a long question an answer needs to be given very elaborately. I will give answer for this tomorrow. Because, I will not be able to complete giving answer to this question, in next few minutes. We have only next few minutes. Today again a long day, initiation. Today all IA participants are going to be officially initiated into unclutching and Nirvikalpa Samadhi.. so first time, you guys, first time, world knows a technology of getting into Nirvikalpa Samadhi which is neurologically verified.
Please understand, the system the technology of Nirvikalpa Samadhi, which I am sharing with you all which you all are experiencing, can be neurologically verified. I can put QEG on your brain. Brain will show exactly what Patanjali says a Nirvikalpa Samadhi. Patanjali says the Nirvikalpa Samadhi, highest awareness and deep rest. You will see today, we will show you, we will demonstrate, when you are in the Nirvikalpa Samadhi, when the kundalini is awakened. When you are in unclutched mood, when the kundalini is awakened, clearly brain shows the highest awareness. What is that? TETA.
Today will explain to you, technically, highest awareness is shown in your brain and no activity, equivalent to coma. Complete silence and highest awareness. Usually, when there is awareness, there will be lot of restless activity, here there is no activity but highest awareness. Jagrat sushupti. What Patanjali calls as Nirvikalpa Samadhi. Please understand, First time the most authentic technology of Nirvikalpa Samadhi best analyzed through the neurological scientific studies is available to the world openly publicly without any restrictions.
My contribution of unclutching to the world. Even I am happy about it. It’s like, when the daughter gets married in a very cultured decent highly evolved wealthy happy people, happy family, how the father feel, wow, now she is in a safe happy place. How he feels happy for her. That is exactly how I feel, when I initiate every person in unclutching. Now I know, he is going to be happy, highest possible conscious plane. I feel happy for you guys, about for your initiation.
I always feel, how exactly initiation, the first Guru pooja would have happened. That is why still that place where the first initiation and the first Guru pooja happened vibrates that energy, I tell you, even now you can touch in the air and feel. When Mahadeva gave the initiation first and Devi did the first Guru pooja, that whole action still is alive in Kailaasa. Any body enters there receives the initiation.

1) Dear Swamiji, you said when i want the headache to disappear, i have given more energy for it to stay in me. IN that case, why have I not given more energy for spiritual experience like Samadhi or Kundalini energy even though I want it? - Rupak, IA No. 64
Please understand wanting it is one. Believing it is possible, trusting it is possible is another one. Let me give you a small story. One guy who was trying his best to get a boon from Shiva. So every day morning he will pour water, milk all kinds of offerings he will pour to Shiva deity and sit and chant namah shivaya and literally nag Shiva to give the boon, literally force Shiva to give the boon. Shiva was not responding. Finally one day he became angry. When the greed not fulfilled it turns as anger. When he became angry. He decided to tease Shiva. He brought a Vishnu deity and started doigna ll the rituals to tease Shiva. Finally he put the incense stick. The incense smoke went to Shiva. He could not tolerate. The incense he kept for Vishnu was going to Shiva. He jumped and caught hold of the nose of the deity of Shiva. He said you should not smell the incense kept for Vishnu. Suddenly in few seconds he felt he was holding somebody’s flesh and nose. When he opened his eyes he was sitting. The moment he saw Shiva his pseudo anger went away, he fell at Shiva’ feet and asked please forgive me. Shiva asked what do you want my son. He asked and Shiva gave him boon. He suddenly had a doubt he asked I was doing so much puja, sacrifice, repetition of your name everything. Why did you not appear then and now when I am angry with you, why are you coming now?
Then Shiva beautifully said - even in your greed, you did not have a strong trust I am in that deity. You only have to imagine that Shiva is there but one corner of your mind is always commenting on your action. There was never 100% doubtless trust. But in your anger, when you held my nostril, my nose strongly even one second you did not have doubt that I was not there. Your mind was not saying even in your unconscious who knows if Shiva is there. You did not know. You know Shiva is there and you have to take revenge. Whether right or wrong those moments without having doubt even in your unconscious you know I am there in the deity. That strong authentic doubtless trust is the key. That is the bridge and makes me appear. When you have that trust, I have no other way. I have to appear.
Understand maybe you wanted your kundalini to awaken, samadhi to happen. But behind you mind - your unconscious is constantly denying all this. Your mind is telling – behind the cricket commentary is going on, wicket commentary is going on – it takes years and years practice, who knows if this swami can do it in 10 days….
But with headache you are sure beyond doubt. Unfortunately, your mind is programmed to believe negative things strongly than positive things. It is like water flows down, your mind flows down towards negativity. Your headache is like authentic trust. Your samadhi and Kundalini Energy is not so strong – it is there, it is not there…that is the difference. Rupak contemplate on this story why Shiva appeared when he was holding the nose in anger and why he did not appear when he was doing puja with all devotion. Contemplate on it you will understand authentic trust is the essence.
2) Swamiji, Is being in silence an effective way to go within? Thank you for your love and blessings! - Preet, ID No. 28
I don’t know what silence you are asking. Verbal silence maybe the initial step. But mental silence is the best step. Emotional silence is the ultimate step. Conscious silence is goal itself. Understand if you are talking about verbal silence it is first step. Very beautifully Upanishad says - “Yogasya pradhamam dwaram vaak nirodaha” – the first step is verbal silence is only the first step for yoga. Mental silence will be a powerful practice for Yoga. Emotional silence is last step of Yoga. Conscious silence is the goal of Yoga. So which silence you are talking about you should know. Step by step increase depth of silence. That’s all. If you are in verbal silence move to mental silence. If you are in mental silence move to emotional silence. If you are in emotional silence move to conscious silence. So understand which level of silence you are talking about - that plays a major role.
3) What is the reason we do Pujas at the Guru's feet? Why do people want to touch the Guru's feet? - Maggie Point, IA No. 94
Maggie Point it is an ancient tradition in the Vedic tradition. When you are showered so much by Guru with his knowledge, experience, love, blessings, everything – when you are showered by him, overflowing gratitude, you don’t know what to do. So you offer whatever you have at his feet. That is the way the tradition of Guru puja stated in Vedic Tradition. The oldest sacred ritual is Guru Puja. The moment the first disciple was excited. Parvathi, Adi Shakti is excited. The moment she was excited with the experience given by Maha Deva Shiva in that extraordinary gratitude she fell at his feet and offered Guru Puja. The first initiation is Shiva Sutra, the first sacred ritual is Guru puja and first stotra is Guru Geeta. The overflowing gratitude you pour yourself at the feet of the master. And same way touching Guru’s feet also in the ecstasy you always feel like offering yourself at his feet. There is no logical reason for why Guru Puja is done, why people touch Guru’s feet. It is emotional feeling connection. For some people they feel why should I do it. For some people it is life. They cannot miss it. I know for millions of my disc morn satsang is much more important than eating food. The morning satsang is a powerful bliss dose. It is life itself! So please understand it is the individual’s emotion. Do all this only if you feel intensely connected to it. Not otherwise. It should not be done as a ritual. See as far as Yoga is concerned, whether you want it or not, do it. Because it is connected to your body. But Guru Puja has to be done by your mind. Your mind itself should feel it and out of ecstasy and joy you should pour it. So there is logical reason just that is the way it is. That’s all!
4) My dear Swamiji, Is the will a part of the mind or the being? How is it connected to the mind if at all? - Rajeev Ramanath, IA No. 57
Rajeev Ramnath – It is a very important question, very subtle question. Understand the answer I am finishing in 2 lines. Will is neither part of the mind nor part of the being. It is a bridge hanging. How is it connected to the mind? Just like a grass floating on the ocean. How is the straw or grass floating on the ocean? It is just floating, by moving or pulling the straw you cannot move the ocean. You cannot even control the straw by making movements in the ocean. Your will is just floating on your mind. Neither you can control the will and move the mind and vice versa. That is a very complicated relationship. Then how to control the mind using the will. You should increase the frequency of your being to reduce the control of the mind. That is the only solution. If more part of the planet becomes land, the ocean part reduces. See ocean is like a mind, being is like a land. Will is like a straw floating on the ocean maybe on the bank of the ocean touching the land and the ocean. But one thing you need to know just like how under the water there is land, under the mind is the being.
Your being is the land on planet earth, ocean water is the mind. Will is the straw - small piece of grass lying where the ocean meets the land. With this example you can get answer to any question.
5) Pranam Swamiji, thanks for being in my life. Swamiji what is the best thing I can do to older people like my parents? I dont want them to die without knowing the truth (cosmos, that’s you) I don’t want them to take again an unconscious body. Please help me so that atleast they don’t suffer next janma. Nithyanandam - Murali Krishna, IA No. 54
Murali Krishna it is so unfortunate in those days the parents and elders used to push their kids towards Gurus and spirituality and enlightenment. I have made spirituality as a trend. Now youngsters are connected and they are pushing elders to come. Whether I have to feel pride that I made the whole thing in a way youngsters are connected or feel bad that the Kali is such that old people have to be forced by youngsters. It is a very weird situation. It is a very weird situation. He is asking what is the best thing I can do to older people like my parents. If you ask about your child I can tell come on bring it to eNgenius. The only way is approach them with tremendous feeling how can I contribute and make a diff in their life and explain them by taking time. During death explain no one can support them other than Guru. It is not story. Thousands of stories, enough of instances and evidences where people have felt my presence and experienced peaceful death. Tel them for graceful exit, IA is compulsory. Make them und, convince them. That is the only way. No other way.
6) Pranam Swamiji
You mentioned that we should expand, experience and explode in every possibility, but not get attached to the object or measure achievement. My question is how would you care about anything if you don’t have any small attachement to it? Could you kindly tell me how, swamiji? Pranam - Siva Bhaskaran, IA No. 05
Shiva Bhaskaran I don’t mind small attachment. I don’t mind you having small attachment but in the name of small attachment you are not going to move out of it what to do? That is where the problem starts. Small attachment will not even be a small attachment. But the moment I grant small attachment. What will you do? You will justify everything as small attachment. Small attachment will be there but will not even be known to you. Anything known to you disconnect from it. not even small attachment is allowed knowingly. So you go on unclutching whatever is there knowingly. Then unknowingly whatever has to happen will happen.
Today all the IA participants are going to be officially initiated into unclutching and Nirvikalpa samadhi. See first time world knows a technique of getting into NS which is neurologically verified. The technology of Nirvikalpa Samadhi that I am sharing with you which can be neruo measured.
Patanjali says about Nirvakalpa Samadhi - highest awareness and deepest restful awareness happening at same time. You will see today when the Nivikalpa Samadh happens in you, unclutching mood happens automatically and Kundalini Energy is awakened, highest awareness will be shown in your brain and no activity equivalent alien to coma. Complete silence and no activity. Jagrath sushupthi is what Patanjali calls as Nirvikalpa Samadhi. Please understand the most authentic technology of Nirvikalpa Samadhi best analysed through the neuro scientific studies available to the world openly, publicly without any restrictions. My contribution of unclutching to the world even I am happy about it It is like if a daughter is married in a very cultured, decent, wealthy and very happy place how the father will feel how he feels happy for her, that is exactly the feeling I have when I initiate every person in Unclutching consciousness. Now I feel now he will be in the highest potential…
I always feel exactly in Kailaasa how the first initiation and first Guru Puja has happened. That is why that place still vibrates in that place. The first time Mahadeva gave initiation to Devi that whole
1) Srujana from Vizag – 9885535056 – 1st – want 420 out of 450 in 1st year Inter; 2nd want a medical seat in Andhra University, 3rd – both parents are doctors.

2) Bhoopathi Metur – 9442250529
