Description:

In today’s morning Satsang from Varanasi, Paramahamsa Nithyananda announced that today is Adi Shankara’s Jayanthi, and that he respects Shankara for choosing to be part of the lineage that created him rather than breaking from Sanatana Hindu Dharma and starting his own sect. This same day is also the Jayanthi of Acharya Ramanuja; who had the patience and compassion to stay in the body for 127 years. He then encouraged us to live the core beliefs, lifestyle and fashion of Sanatana Hindu Dharma to the minutest detail.

Today, very important day for the whole Hinduism, Sanatana Hindu Dharma, the day, the greatest reviver of our Dharma, our Acharya, AdiShankara is born. Even though it feels like a grammar mistake, I can’t use ‘was’ for any of these Acharyas. So, I am using ‘is’, even though it is grammar mistake.

AdiShankara, one of the greatest being, greatest Master, the reviver of Hindu tradition, Sanatana Hindu Dharma, he was more charismatic than Buddha, but not greedy to be a separate cult. That is why he stood by the Sanatana Hindu Dharma. There are few people who try to make themself hero just by saying ‘No’ to everything which is prior to them. But there are some people who can demonstrate their unique contribution without saying ‘No’ to whatever exists prior to them. The second needs more intelligence. Shankara was charismatic enough. If he has said ‘No’ to all the prior things existed before him, he would have become another one religion. He has all the components to become a separate religion – charisma, intelligence, infrastructure, ability to convince people, play with words, everything he had; ultimately, ability to transmit the experience. But his sacrifice, the ultimate sacrifice: he just decided to be one Acharya in the great lineage. He was so grateful to the tradition which made him. I am not disrespecting Buddha. Just two days before I had so much of praise for Buddha. Please don’t mistake me. But the stark realities had to be told to you.

I don’t repent at all sending all these Kotharis, Mahants, Thanedars, out of the hall with such a strong words “Get out of this hall. Apply the chandan and come back.” I don’t repent. If I don’t do this, I am afraid, after I leave the body, you guys may separate yourself from Sanatana Hindu Dharma, which I don’t it want to happen. Just one step – having Kali inside Ramakrishna Mission – if they had decided, so much good would have happened to Sanatana Hindu Dharma. I am not underestimating their contribution, Ramakrishna Mission’s contribution to Hinduism. But just this one decision – having Kali also inside their temples and ashrams – so much good would have happened to Sanatana Hindu Dharma. In future, I do not want you guys to remove Mahadeva’s deity from our ashrams and temples. That is why I insist I take time, even though it looks very strong when I use such a strong word, Get out of the hall and apply chandan and come back.’ I know I am training you guys to keep something very valuable for Planet Earth forever; forever.

I am very clear; I will always be reviver of Sanatana Hindu Dharma, never founder of anything new. My deep gratitude to my Masters, my Gurus! I had the fortune of getting enriched by more than one Guru, enlightened beings. My gratitude to my Gurus who made me is I will ever remain as only the reviver of Sanatana Hindu Dharma, never a founder of something separate, away from Sanatana Dharma. I want all the Mahants, Kotharis, Thanedars who are the owners of the Sangha to remember this: You will all follow the minute details, understand?

In any culture, there are core things, lifestyle things, fashion things. For example, in the western culture, if I have to say

Core things – your belief about life, death, materialism, your belief about money, what for you work whole day, what you think as joy and pain – all these are core things.

Then Lifestyle – the number of cars you want to own, the number of houses you want to own, the number of items you want to own, the way you want to be remembered by your friends and family – lifestyle things.

Then Fashion – the handbag you carry, the lipstick you use, the shoe you wear, the tie you use – the fashion.

Understand, my disciples, you guys will follow Sanatana Hindu Dharma in all these three level – Core Beliefs, Lifestyle, Fashion.

Our Core Beliefs are like major questions we have about life – life, death, karma, renunciation, dharma, artha, kaama, moksha – all these are Core Beliefs.

Then Lifestyle – what we own, what we share, how we earn, how we showcase ourselves – lifestyle.

Then Fashion – this chandan, big-big rudrakshamalas, the sacred jewelleries, sacred clothing style.

So, in all the levels, you guys will revive. Your body should be moving hoarding, billboard for Vedic tradition. Your mind should be moving billboard for the Vedic lifestyle. Your consciousness should be moving billboard for the Vedic core teachings, core message.

Only mortals need to be afraid to become martyr. I am immortal and never be a martyr, understand. I am immortal and intelligent enough not to be martyr. I am not talking out of any arrogance or pride, please understand. I am very clear about what I want to do. I want to make a fashion statement about the beauty and glory of everything of Sanatana Hindu Dharma. The way we cook, the way we eat, the way we dress, the way we reside, everything; let it be brought back to life!

On this great day, AdiShankara’s Jayanthi Mahotsava; it is not birthday, Jayanthi Mahotsava. Please understand, birthday is as per the English calendar. Jayanthi Mahotsava is as per the Vedic calendar. Earlier, in our Sangha, we used to celebrate both days – birthday and Jayanthi. Recently I banned birthday, and, last three years, we are celebrating only Jayanthi. Today is AdiShankara’s Jayanthi as per the Vedic calendar. On this great day, once more I commit and I request our whole Sangha, whoever considers me as Guru, all of you will commit and declare - ‘We rededicate ourself to Sanatana Hindu Dharma, to live Sanatana Hindu Dharma Core Beliefs, Lifestyle and Fashion; in all the three level. Core Beliefs, Lifestyle and Fashion, in all the three levels we will celebrate and live Sanatana Hindu Dharma.’

Be very clear, I wanted to make this statement very clearly on this great day of AdiShankaracharya Jayanthi: We will follow the Core Beliefs, Lifestyle, Fashion, in all these three, the great Sanatana Hindu Dharma.

And, today is also the Jayanthi of one more great spiritual giant. I will personally regard this second great spiritual giant, whom I am going to introduce, one step more than AdiShankaracharya – Acharya, great Ramanuja. Today is the same day, Acharya, great Ramanuja was also born. You may ask why I will put Ramanuja one step further. Please understand, an Acharya has certain responsibility and he is given all the powers needed to fulfil those responsibility. Living in the body for long period and establishing what for he happened, also is one of the responsibility, which Ramanuja fulfilled very responsibly by living 127 years. He lived in the body for 127 years. Who wants to live in this world? But he took the responsibility. It is not that Ramanuja did not have the problem Shankara had. Both of them had same problem which I am having now. It is eternal. I don’t want to say Shankara did not have the power to extend his life as he want. He has. All Acharyas are given that free hand, understand. No Acharya is asked to come back unless he decides. So, I can say, Ramanuja was more responsible in that one angle. That’s the reason I am putting in my personal feeling Ramanuja one step more. Because, see when you stay, you can stabilize.

18:37

I tell you, even now, the number of enlightened being produced by the RamanujaSampradayis are more, because he standardized the whole structure and process by living more than 127 years; 126 plus. If Vivekananda would have lived twenty more years, he would have made a living stream of enlightened beings on the Planet Earth. It is very unfortunate that he has to leave the body.

Thanks to the tortures done to him that he had to finally give up. But I tell you guys, I am not going to give up. I will be alive in this body! Again, I am not disrespecting Shankara, but I have to tell you the stark realities. We can say Shankara contributed this thirty-two years itself everything. But, I will naturally expect an Acharya to stay for some more time, not just contribute. See, there are different levels of doctors –who just give prescription, who just get the medicine and ask you to take, who just opens your mouth and puts the medicine, who uses a stick to get the medicine inside your mouth and see to it, it digests in you and you are rid of the disease. I was brought up, enriched, strengthened by my Gurus for quite a long period. When I was seventeen only, they passed away, both of them left the body. From the time I remember myself, I grew up with both of them. So, when you spend time with your disciple this many years, the kind of maturity you bring to the disciple, the kind of strength you cause to the disciple’s consciousness, I am the witness. I am the witness. That is why I am telling you, Masters need to live longer period in the body. See, if you just want to make a intellectual contribution, just writing books is enough. But, if you want to make a living enlightened stream, the stream of living enlightened beings, then lot of work need to be done on the consciousness of the disciples.

22:23

From AdiShankaracharya we will learn to be a reviver of Sanatana Hindu Dharma. From Ramanuja we will learn to live in the body for a long period. I offer humble respects to both the Acharyas, and both Acharyas will have shrines in our Bidadi temple. In all our major temples, both Acharyas will have shrines. We are working on it. As a Sangha, on behalf of me, and as a Sangha, we bow down to both the Acharyas, remembering them, honouring them, rededicating ourself to them, rededicating ourselves to them. We will stand as a reviver of Sanatana Hindu Dharma, and as a strength for Sanatana Hindu Dharma in the Core Beliefs, Lifestyle and Fashion, in all the three levels.

We will go on be aligning more and more ourselves to Sanatana Hindu Dharma. I know, many things are lost; even we are not completely pure, because, many things we ourself do not know. We are yet to retrieve. We will retrieve, recover, reinvent, revive all of them as early as possible and make them as part of us to rejuvenate ourselves. I think, this will be the real gratitude we offer to both the great Acharyas - AdiShankaracharya and Ramanujacharya.

25:12

Today is also the fourth day of Meenakshi Brahmotsavam. Devi graces the Golden Palkhi, the Golden Palanquin.

Today is also the beginning of Agni Nakshatra, where, today is the day the unique sun energy lands on the earth. All the Shiva temples, the deity will be constantly having abhishekam. Means, constantly the deity will be showered from today to next few days. Till 28th, constantly the deities will be showered, given abhishekam, sacred bath. So, all our temples also should have that vessel where rose water or Ganges water, sacred water is constantly showered on the deities. So, from today, we start that ritual of TaaraPaathram. There is a tradition also, when you put the TaaraPaathram, means, the constant dripping of water on Shiva Linga, you sit and concentrate on it. Your mind also gets concentrated; the dhaarana happens. Dhaarana, it is a very powerful technique to make dhaarana happen.

There are a few Masters who just say ‘No’ to everything which existed prior to them. There are some Masters who revive whatever existed prior to them and align themself to be an Acharya of that great lineage. There are some who are completely confused, don’t know what to do, and don’t know what is their stand. ‘Whatever gets money now, come on, let us do that. Whatever gets little name and fame, money, this prize, that reward, this reward, let us do that now.’ I am very clear about my stand from the beginning. I want to be remembered as a reviver of Sanatana Hindu Dharma, and I want our Sangha to work in that direction, reiterating our direction, reiterating about our authenticity. This is what I want to do today on this great day, AdiShankara’s Jayanthi, Ramanuja’s Jayanthi.

29:14

Today, in the Inner Awakening, we will be working on our authenticity, and the process of completing all the incompletions. My only request to Inner Awakening participants - Please co-operate with the class by being on time and all these; because, we have so much to do. See, because we are in Varanasi, we have to see so much and we have to do so much. Varanasi yatra itself needs separate twenty-one days, and the Inner Awakening needs separate twenty-one days. I am doing both in one twenty-one days.

See, I am co-operating by cancelling all the Kalpataru Darshans I have given to many cities. I already started cancelling many Kalpatarus; because even this morning, if there is Kalpataru, the morning breakfast break will be little longer. I don’t want to waste even that half an hour one hour. I am cancelling many of the Kalpataru Darshans this whole month; sorry, these twenty-one days, not whole month, this twenty one days. I am co-operating from my side everything possible. And, especially election time, whichever temple we want to go, first we will have to study that there is no political rally on that day, so that we will not be stuck in the traffic jam. So, so many factors we have to consider and organize the whole program. So, please let’s use the time to its fullest extent, and the space of Varanasi, Vishwanatha.

I bless you all. Let you all radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility, Enriching, and Causing eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you.
