Description:

In today's morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) shares his vision for the world-wide Annalaya: free food for the hungry both spiritually and physically. Let the sangha create food and share, without waste. Wasting food is not only throwing away useful food, it is also dumping food into a stomach that is not hungry. A center is to be established in each city with free food for all who come and a library with free reading. The Shaivite lifestyle is sharing with the world. Nithyananda reminds his sangha that either God or Devil can be awakened in others. When devotees set the example of God with integrity and authentic goodness, the God in others is reflected back to them.


Transcript

“Sadashiva samarambam, Shankaraacharya madhyamam asmadacharya paryantam vande Guru paramparam!” I welcome you all with my love and blessings! I welcome all the devotees, disciples, Samajis, Satsangis sitting with around the world at this moment in 431 places through Nithyananda TV & Youtube live, 37 places in 2 way video conferencing having Nayana Deeksha, in 222 cities, in 25 countries around the world! I welcome you all with my love and blessings! Cities sitting with us in 2 way video conferencing having Nayana Deeksha – Today Niraahaara samyama 3rd level 8th day. I am doing the Niraahaara 3rd day – within this 3 days lost 1.3 kg successfully! In the ashram all of us will check. We should be on the lower rung of the BMI scale. Means for your height what should be the weight. There will be average. ..the lowest number should be your weight. So that you can have pizza whenever you want ☺ So Niraahaara samyama 3rd level 8th day.

And Brahmanyam bahuputrataam – I am the favourite inheritor of the cosmos successfully 10th day. 

I tell you, even this Chit Sabha feels today - I am the favourite inheritor of the cosmos! (to camera crew) Show how clean the place looks! This shows when you are free from patterns, you keep the place clean! And the next thing is a very important thing. I wanted to give my vision for Nithyananda Annalayas for all over the world. Please understand a few basic things: Food is the root pattern which our Masters have used to guide people to enlightenment, and same way, food was used by our Masters to ‘enreach’ people! Food was used for enriching and enreaching. Right understanding and authenticity enriches you by liberating you from many patterns. And sharing it with deep love enreaches you! Now I can see Dubai Tirukovvilur, and Dhyanatma also. Blessings! Scottsdale Arizona also. Understand my vision for Annalaya. When we eat, let us be authentic. When we feed others, let us be authentic. Don’t put rules when you feed others. Don’t pamper yourself when you feed yourself. Understand? We do completely opposite! When we feed ourselves, we pamper; when we feed others, we put all rules! I am giving a clear vision - how I wanted all our Annalayas functioning all over the world. Upanishad says very beautifully – annam bahu kurvita! – let us create and share! Annam bahu kurvita – let us create and share. It is the responsibility of all disciples and followers of Nithyananda to create food and share with the world. Create and share. No hungry stomach can be denied food. Second - no place where there is no hunger, you cannot throw food. Means, you can’t throw food more than your hunger. Once your hunger is over, you cannot throw food inside your stomach or dump food in the dustbin which is not hungry ☺ “Annam bahu kurvita Annam na nindhyaat Tat vratam”

Let us create and share food. Let all hungry stomach be fulfilled with food. Let us not waste food. No place you can drop food where there is no hunger (either outside or inside). That is being authentic with food.”

Just like how our Masters use food as a way to reach out to people… just like Palani panchamrutham, Tirupathi laddu, and all the ISKON restaurants. They run 3000 Govinda restaurants…hats off to them! Please understand, wherever we have committed devotees and disciples, in all cities, I wanted a place to be rented in the centre of the city where you will have a restaurant giving food free. And there should be a Galleria where you sell our books, and have a meditation hall where they can meditate and go…. With authenticity and integrity, with the grace of Annapoorni, I will fund it! Anybody who is ready to run please create the project plan and commit authentically, I will run it. All people all over the world, anybody can apply…..existing temples implement this …..where people can come, eat food free, buy our products through eN-Galleria…just through this way we will reach out to people. All the Niraahaaris… the Niraahaari team should start thinking about this. You should not be eating, but you should be sharing! When it comes to us, fasting is the ideal. When it comes to others, feasting is the ideal! One great Sadhu Shantananda Saraswathi - he was from Coimbatore - he made this as a very successful project. He attained his Maha Samadhi. His devotees are successfully running this in Singapore - the project called Anna Lakshmi. In Chennai in Mount road they are running one Anna Lakshmi… When are you going to start the same thing in Singapore? Get back to me with that information. All I wanted you all to do is, just lend your hand to share. I am ready to fund. As long as I eat I will fund. I will fund for this project and only then I will eat. I can! Annapurni’s grace is there on us. We can. When are we going to start this in Bidadi? <Shivarathri? Then I will start eating solid food after Shiva rathri…> When we started the Ashram, first thing I said is - We will start cooking here only when we can feed people.! Not only feeding people, telling the world you are available. How many of you guys countries have the courage to take this up. Bangalore Marthahalli. You don’t worry about the funding. I will give you the funding. St. Julien France even if you want to do it in Senegal also, I am ready to fund. Blessings! Charlotte is ready? Great! Start doing it. Atlanta is ready. Blessings! Please understand for this whole project. For this project I will completely fund it from the headquarters. Whatever is deficiency. When you run a Anna Mandir, in initial level I will fund it. When you are over flowing later, you will commit that you will fund another one annalaya then. I have Hyderabad, Malaysia, Srilanka, Atlanta, Tiruvannamalai, Vancouver, Toronto. Srilanka - 3 places, Oman, LA, Tumkur, Bangalore-Malleshwaram, London-Kashi, Scottsdale, Sattur-Tamilnadu, Australia. All of you now cities send your project plan within next 10 days to Bidadi. It will be approved. Please send it to [email protected] Annalaya – sharing food, vaidyalaya – sharing medicines, dhyanalaya – sharing meditation, vidyalaya – sharing secular knowledge Let me read out the cities which have taken the responsibility: Bidadi - Bengaluru, St. Julien France, Charlotte Srisailam, Atlanta, Tiruvannamalai, Vancover, Toronto, LA, Oman Hyderabad Srilanka – 3 places Tumkur Bangalore Marthahalli London, Scottsdale Sattur, Monterrey, Mexico San Jose Madurai Salem Singapore Malaysia – 5 places Oklahoma Calgary San Diego Chennai Tiruvottriyur Paris Bangalore Nithyananda Vidyalaya Bangalore Malleshwaram New York Seattle Ohio, Romania Morocco Mumbai Dallas Pudukottai Adayar Chennai (Sumathi & Shanmuganathan) Madagascar Colombia Togo Africa St. Louis Hyderabad City Redendo Beach, Los angeles Phoenix (Rasik Bhai) Coimbatore (Suresh) Houston Chennai (Tondayarpet) Chennai Eldams road Seergazhi (Kannan) Greensborough Granada Spain Triad North Carolina Chennai – Porur

All these places should be sharing food with people. Date - you guys should commit by tomorrow’s satsang. Your commitment should be defined in place, date and time. Actually your commitment for temple starts with this. Accounts department you should work out and …. (incomplete sentence) When you don’t have temple only you have to go to city. All Annalayas will have a beautiful Meenakshi deity. Vaigai will be the sacred river for us. Wherever the filter water machine is there, you should name it as Vaigai. And, in all Annalayas we will have Meenakshi deity. We will start making it now. We will have it in Pancha loha, because if it is in stone you cannot remove. In our own place we will have it in stone. We Shaivites have to share food with the world that is our life style. That is our culture… I tell you, it will only do good for anybody who takes this prasad along with the food, this great spiritual ideas… I give this responsibility for the Nithyananda Niraahaaris team, coordinating this team and make a beautiful website for this team. You not eating is enriching you, you feeding others is enriching others. Great! We should have mobile Annalayaas. Wherever we have the Utsavas, congregations, we should have mobile Annalayaas. Wherever the big religious happenings, we should have 4-5 lorries going and sharing food. I tell you, Annapoorni’s grace is on our us. She will make this happen. Mahadeva himself gives money to Jnaana Sambandar to do this Annalaya. See, including the advance, alteration of the place, rent - everything I will fund. You just need to with authenticity and integrity execute it. Make sure food is not wasted, money is not wasted. This is the beautiful thing. So beautiful. I tell you guys - maximum 6 months I may need to fund. But I will fund after that too..! But maximum 6 months I will fund, because - trust the people! You can either get Nithyananda out of them or Hitler out of them. You can get God out of them or devil out of them…. Annam Na Parischakshita (this is from the Taittiriya Upanishad) – which means don’t waste food. We should be like Mc Donalds, all over the world - but with free food! Let us make the whole world food is free as lifestyle. Food is free; let us start! I trust the goodness in human beings. I take the responsibility for their authenticity. We will do it and I can be sure we will be successful. Construction department - now you need to create guidelines. All Annalayaas should be in same colour and they should have Meenakshi deities… New york has also committed. Great beautiful. Nindraseer nedumaran, Nayanmaar, Mangayyarkarasi, Jnaana Sambandar, Meenakshi deity, Sundareshwarar photograph, Sharada Devi and Annapoorni photographs. We should have all these pictures - because all these were ideals of serving food. You guys will see how courageously we started taking the responsibility. You will see how big successful this will become, by making so many people integrated and authentic. Thousands will become authentic. We will teach people how to feed and how to be Niraahaari. Both we will teach people. We will enrich people in both the ways... This is what is taking responsibility! Without even bothering, without even thinking twice, I will fund. And I tell you, I know - when we start, we will bring so much of goodness out of people. When you take the responsibility of authentically being good, you bring goodness out of people. I tell you, I may not need 6 months to make them self sufficient! Of course I am taking the responsibility of funding till you become self-sufficient. After you become self- sufficient, you take responsibilities for more and more Annalayas. The chain of Annalyas like Mc Donalds – vegetarian annalayas. I am feeling so fulfilled. Just feel like had a feast. Stomach is full, heart is full, being is full! Sharing brings so much of joy. When you take it up with authenticity, it brings so much of joy. As on now we are running on 54 Annalayaas commitment. So 55 now. Eldams road is committing. All this people, give them the Saturday-Sunday ASP for all these people who are co-ordinating this project, so that they learn these four tattvas and…..oh what a beautiful morning! This is what is a “good morning”! We are already having 55 Annalayaas. I tell you, show goodness to the world. Be authentically enriching. You will make goodness of the people express. You will make God appearing out of them. If you stand in the street, a guy who is walking if you give him banana or food, he will not go without giving something back. If we go to snatch his purse, he will attack us. It is about us…… If somebody comes to my house as guest, how I will feed them, like that. Rishi Daya, you worked in Mc Donalds and…..you can study the Govinda restaurants also. I think they charge minimally. I don’t want to charge anything. Let us see. Let us trust the people. We should be able to nicely man it and... see San Jose, LA, place itself is very nice. It is proper city centre. If they do it in their temple that is enough. It is city centre. Toronto, San Jose, LA, Seattle, all are city centres. Seattle is next to Mayuri, my favourite restaurant. See, just because of food I am able to remember a small restaurant. Something people should be remembering us – your authenticity, your love your care. We should reach out. Great, Seerkazhi is committing. So we are at 56. Snehamayi - restaurant means giving free food….just like a church, all congregations have permission to serve food. See, Annalaya and restaurant is the same. You don’t need to charge. We are only asking people to donate. We should be able to move to that next level of even having people being able to order; where someone comes and orders and eat and go. You should just be able to work out. Just we need to put a little brain into you! Apply thinking. That’s all. Authenticity can become reality. Don’t worry. With authenticity, start enriching. You will only be showered. “Annam na parichaksheeta” - add it. In 56 minutes we have made 56 Annalayaas! ☺ Add two more places – Tiruvannamalai Apparsami madam, Kumarakovil…Thanjavur (Kalaiselvan) Mill Valley, Croatia, Tirupattur (Shiva Shanmugam) Daya – you may have to work with each of these. How many of you have confidence I will be self sustaining from day one. Let me see…. Hyderabad, LA, Toronto, Malaysia, Vancouver, Ohio, With the music and beautiful incense we should serve the people. [email protected] We have to enrich all these annalaya projects with this 4 vedas – chaturvedas. You have to make sure all volunteers are empowered with these four tatvas including people who cook, wash the vessels, sleeping, everybody. I was always having this as a vision. So nice it has become a reality. As on now 62 Annalayas. Understand, sharing the food is the first priority in this project. We will make everything available – like, there will be at least a small library and meditation hall; we should have a galleria. All this should be there. But sharing food is the first priority. In the name of Meenakshi share food. Prana, we should have a meeting now to cope with this. Construction department should come up with a plan, including paint and everything. Music department, sacred arts… Organizing department – daya should come with a clear infrastructure how we should fund it. Ma Girija will be co-ordinating the whole thing. Ma Girija should come here to Bangalore and make this whole thing happen by reminding everyone and executing it. Clear. Ma Girija should manage the menu, recipe, training for cooks, volunteers and all that. Ma Maneesha will take care - you are responsible for enriching people with this 4 tattvas and enriching people to enrich others with this 4 tattvas. Library should have this basic literature. Who will take responsibility for sending these to all of them, to send all the books – Jnaanalaya – Ma Supriya and Ma Achala will take responsibility of establishing jnaanalaya. All publications of Dhyanapeetam, and there should be DVDs available. They should be able to see the discourses. If possible, touchscreen, and all the flyers about our programs should be available. The Encylopedia of Hinduism - all volumes. The selected books of Ramana, Ramakrishna, Osho, Deepak Chopra… get the list, we will see. All this, we will order it and make it available. And the 112 Upanishads. When I say all publications, including our eNvidyalaya publications and a computer for them to browse the discourses, with a beautiful screen. All these expenses, wherever they cannot take it up, we will support… Mettur, Pondicherry, Anniyur, Senthurai, Oorakarai, Tirunelveli… From Pondicherry to Paris, from Seerkazhi to Seattle, Madurai to San Jose, in one frequency world is resonating! ☺ Already Prayag to Ohio it is happening. Ohio on the main snaan day you guys should do kumba mela. Plan on the main snaan day and at least sprinkle the water…! All you guys should know - in Ohio we have two rivers, and there is an under- current. I named one as Ganga, other as Yamuna and the under-current as Sarsawathi. Where these three meet, you can actually see a whirlpool. So we are heading 68! It is possible. Do-able. You will see we can do it! Just you need few hands to man it. People who decide to enrich. That’s all. Ma Tejo - the amrutha kalasa which is in the hands of Annapoorni should be the logo for the annalaya. Akshaya patra of Annapoorni should be the emblem for Annalaya. Alex will take up ERP. So Akshayapaatra which is in the hands of Annapoorni should be the emblem. I also feel we should have a mobile Annalaya, wherever there is a religious group or relief help needed. Just in 5 lorry we should go… Vision department will create a video and documentary and present it to the world, asking them to enrich us to enrich them! <Audience says – multi national enterprise has started. Swamiji says – enlightenprise ☺>

Let us move to the next segment of morning satsang. Now we will move to the Katha Upanishad. Authenticity is the subject through Katha Upanishad. अन्यत् श्रेयः अन्यत् उत एव प्रेयः ते उभे नानार्थे पुरुषं सिनीतः । तयोः श्रेय आददानस्य साधु भवति हीयते अर्थात् य उ प्रेयो वृणीते ॥ 2.1 Yama said: The good is one thing and the pleasant another. These two, having different ends, bind a man. It is well with him who chooses the good. He who chooses the pleasant misses the true end. This is where I stopped yesterday. Today let us see what Maha Kaala, Yama preaches in next verse – श्रेयः च प्रेयः च मनुष्यं एतः तौ संपरीत्य विविनक्ति धीरः । श्रेयः हि धीरः अभि प्रेयसः वृणीते प्रेयः मन्दः योग-क्षेमात् वृणीते ॥ 2.2 The good and the pleasant approach man; the wise examines both and discriminates between them; the wise prefers the good to the pleasant, but the foolish man chooses the pleasant through love of bodily pleasure. 2nd chapter, 2nd verse in Katha Upanishad. Yama is not mincing words. He is a strict guy. He can’t mince words and he doesn’t have patience like Krishna to go on & on & on. Krishna after all has his vested interest. Here Yama gives this as a boon. So he is very straight forward, sharp with the words. He is saying, The good and the pleasant approach man; the wise examines both and discriminates between them; the wise prefers the good to the pleasant, but the foolish man chooses the pleasant through love of bodily pleasure. He is very clear – The good and the pleasant approach man; the wise examines both and discriminates between them – intelligent are those which can discriminate between the both – the wise are those who can discriminates between both. The shreyascha I will translate as authenticity. Both the words, shreya and shraddha, come from the same root. The good and the pleasant approach man; the wise examines both and discriminates between them; the wise prefers the good to the pleasant, but the foolish man chooses the pleasant through love of bodily pleasure. Every moment life presents the choice of authenticity and inauthenticity to you. It is you who needs to choose… continuously life presents authenticity and inauthenticity. Continuously life presents both the choices authentic and inauthentic. It is your responsibility, please understand your responsibility to choose authentic. To choose authenticity, to choose right. No one else can save you. no one else can save you. listen – no other person, no body else can save you. it is you who need to make the choice. I don’t want to comment on this verse in such a short time to learn from this verse about authenticity. I will continue to expand on this in the next satsangs. Anyhow, today you may not have learnt much but you have started practicing much! So I will continue on this verse tomorrow. I will move to the next segment of the morning satsang –Dial the Avatar. Neelaveni from Srilanka All cities look for the place together. Annalaya and place together. Many cities which are looking for new place. All of you can look a place where both can be done together. All the Niraahaara samyama participants please sit straight. Visualize you have become Bidadi Kalpa Vriksha, Bidadi banyan tree, which does not take much but gives so much. With its deep roots, huge branches, with its fruits, flowers, leaves and the energy! <Banyan Tree meditation> Relax! I bless you all to become Niraahaaris. Greensborough, Granada Spain, Triad North Carolina, Chennai – Porur, Tharamangalam, Thiruppur, Tiruchi, Ida Annavasal are joining now. All people who have committed for this project, stay back. I bless you all who are sitting with us at this moment around the world in 708 places through Nithyananda TV, 42 in places through 2 way Video conferencing having Nayana Deeksha, in 318 cities, 29 countries around the world! Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share and explode and enrich with eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you!
