Title:

Physical Body, Dream Body & Deep Sleep Body

Description:

From the works of Living Enlightened Master Paramahamsa Nithyananda. In this clip taken from discourse titled, "From Known to Knowing" Swamiji gives an in-depth understanding of the three bodies. In this ananda sutra technique given to us by Mahadeva, Swamiji explains to us that in the physical body, the gap between us and the world outside is large. In the dream state this gap is small. That is why the moment we suspect we are in the dream state we wake up. Form is the essence of the physical body and prana is the essence of the dream body. Knowing (and not known) is the essence of the deep sleep state. A person who can handle all three bodies and can go beyond is enlightened. By understanding all the three bodies, the focus will be shifted to the fourth state of consciousness, the turiya state.

Sensitivity - Deeper Truths Revealed

Description:

From the works of Living Enlightened Master Paramahamsa Nithyananda. In this clip taken from discourse titled, "From Known to Knowing" Swamiji tells us that this sutra from Shiva is for those who are sensitive. Sensitivity is often a misunderstood word and is equated to weakness. Swamiji tells us that a sensitive person is aware and ready to be spontaneous. He reveals deep truths about the chakras which influence our various states. He tells us that in waking state our identity happens in Ajna chakra, in dream state the visuddhi chakra and in deep sleep state the Anahata chakra. He tells us that we enter ananda gandha chakra in the turiya state.

Impracticality of Intellect

Description:

From the works of Living Enlightened Master Paramahamsa Nithyananda. In this clip taken from discourse titled, "From Known to Knowing" Swamiji, through a humorous example describes why intellectuals and philosophers are always impractical. They always need to plan and are never spontaneous. Too much intellect will block your energy in the sushupthi or deep sleep state. In vedic system logic is only used for integrating and evolving your understanding.

Wake Up! & Be Intense

Description:

From the works of Living Enlightened Master Paramahamsa Nithyananda. In this clip taken from discourse titled, "From Known to Knowing" Swamiji delivers profound truths about intensity of seeking. He teels us that this sutra from Shiva is for an intense seeker waiting for the fire (of initiation). He tells us that if we have undisturbed identity in all three states, this is a very rare happening. These individuals are true seekers and conscious awakening has happened in them. Swmaiji also goes on to describe the limitation of his talks in English language. He encourages us to learn sanksrit, which is truly a living knowledge. Sanskrit language reveals more and more truths to the seeker as he/she is progressing spiritually

Essence of Choice of Life, Death and Birth

Description:

From the works of Living Enlightened Master Paramahamsa Nithyananda. In this clip taken from discourse titled, "From Known to Knowing" Swamiji gives us a beautiful example from the teachings of Ramana Maharshi to move the attention from the seer to the seen. Swmaiji goes on to describe in depth that the state in which we spend most of our time in this life will dictate the essence of the next birth. He tells us that a very few rare souls who go beyond these three states consciously come down to the earth out of their compassion. They are called avatars.
