Description

In this short clip taken from Brahma Sutra 2, Paramahamsa Nithyananda elaborates on how to catch the right guru - enlightened master. How do you know if you have found your Guru? If you peel away the things you and he have in common, and if you feel there is still something more about him which you yourself do not have - then you have found your Guru. If not, he is not worthy of being your Guru, and you are not worthy of being his disciple. The Guru disciple relationship is sacred, should be started after thorough research and should never be ended. Change of Guru is perfectly alright. After some time you might become more mature and you want to connect to another Master. But, dropping from the Guru and not having another Guru is a crime - it means you didn't drop from the earlier Guru because you have matured, but because you have fallen.

Putting The Invisibility Cloak on – The Yoga Way

DATE: March 4th 2011

LOCATION: Anandeshwar Temple, in front of the main sanctum, Bidadi ashram START TIME: DURATION: 34:21 Sadashiva samarambam shankaraacharya madhyamaam Asmadaacharya paryanthaam vande guru paramparaam. 1:29 I welcome you all with my love and respects. See basically I am a village boy who is born and brought up in a temple based village; means the whole village functions based on the temple. They wake up morning listening to the temple bell and when I was living in that village... now only it has become little small town or town. In those days it was a village only. When I was living we will know that it has become evening by listening to the Devaaram songs from the temple. If we know the songs, they will have that old traditional type loud speakers. Almost to the whole village it will scream. 2:37 And that evening that old man will come and sit. One brass taalam it is called in Tamil taalam; a small two brass plates with which they will hit and make a sound. And he will start singing; neither swara nor raga nor taala; nothing will be there and he is the only guy; poor guy no other work. He will come and sit and start pitta ......... If I remember even now I can remember the whole tone, tune, everything. talaima........... Then we know it has become evening six O' clock. Now it is evening 6 O' clock. And we wake up listening to the temple bell. We retire from the day listening to the temple songs. We go to bed after the deity leaves our house. Almost every night the deity will come in procession. 4:01 The whole village functions on temple. So in 365 days at least 300 days the deity will come out in procession for some festival. So when the deity leaves our house we will close the door and go to bed. So after all I am a village boy. So still that feeling, seeing a deity is sacred. Seeing a temple is sacred. That is there in the being. 4:41 Actually I myself loved that and left it without erasing even after enlightenment. After enlightenment I myself left few things. Ehh let it be there, it is so sweet. After enlightenment you are given the freedom to erase anything you want, add anything you want, alter anything as you want. So there are some things I myself left it. Even now I have the freedom to remove but I myself left it. The few things I left it is the feeling sacred when you see a temple or a deity. 5:15 So actually when a screen opens how much you are excited to see me I am also excited to see ten temples at a time. I feel oh I have darshan of ten temples. And everybody knows it is me who put the energy into the deities. I created the deity, transported it, put the energy, installed it and created devotees to worship it. Every inch of it is my life. Whether the carpet on the ground or the ceiling on the roof or the deities between the carpet and ceiling or the people who are sitting and worshipping between the carpet and ceiling or the vessels; I know everything is directly my work. But that feeling sacred, "Wow! I am having darshan of so many temples”. It is there still. And it is so sweet I can say I wait to come and sit here and start the satsang. Wow I am going to see so many temples. So it is so nice to see the whole screen filled with so many temples. I feel at least for this joy I will go on be creating temples. 6:58 I tell all our devotees, disciples, samajis, satsangis; don’t live in a village where there is no temple. No! By law make it as your lifestyle. Don’t live in a temple where there is....don’t live in a village where there is no temple. If you don’t have temple in your village at least create one in your house. So don’t, it is something too sacred. I can say if you just allow this temple in your life, the whole thing, all spiritual dimensions will start opening up. 7:53 Now, last four years Dhyanapeetam has set a trend and I tell you I am very happy that we are setting a trend. People are still interested in Hinduism. People are interested in the temple tradition. We can inspire them using the sacred arts. I really feel we should have a big warehouse in US, have enough deities and distribute free of cost to anybody who wants to start a temple. I will make this into reality within two years you will see. Do you want to start a Hindu temple? Deities are free; take it. Two years is too much time. I will see that within a year it is done. 8:49 So in as many places as possible the Vedic tradition becomes alive, so that I can sit and see 200 temples every day, Kshetras, 5 temples in US, then I added 12 jyothirlingas. Then I thought 54 shakti peethas. Now I decided 100 and vaishnava sthalas also we will add; hundred and eight. Let’s go on. Actually everyday I wait and see whether these guys changed the clothes of the deity, whether they have done some new decoration, whether they are doing anything new; I everyday see. 10:07 So all the other cities, work quick and create the temple. Start the work for temple. Houston is still waiting and Redondo Beach is waiting. Of course good news we have is Toronto got the place just yesterday. Yesterday they confirmed the place and deities are moving from LA to Toronto and already we have so many deities in US and still New York has to go for temple. New York has to start. 10:52 Lets enter into today’s satsang. As you all may be aware in the morning I am working on Yoga sutras. In the evenings, satsangs are happening on Brahma sutras. For a long time I wanted to speak on Brahma Sutras because no modern day Master has spoken on Brahma Sutras. So first time in English, I can say first time ever in English a modern day Master is expanding and expressing on Brahma sutras. It is not only expanding, it is a great happening. 11:50 Yesterday when I gave the introduction to Brahma sutras, almost all literatures, I shook everybody else. I was about to shake completely Patanjali yoga sutra. Then I remembered no! Tomorrow morning I have to speak on him. So I just spared Patanjali. At least if there is one week gap, one week on Brahma sutra and then one week on yoga sutra then I would have shaked at Patanjali. I thought no, no, no too close! Within 12 hours I have to start! So I cannot patch up with Patanjali within 12 hours. I need to spare Patanjali. So I spared him! 12:38 But I can say this 21 days is going to be something unique; because you are listening Yoga and Vedanta from a guy whose very life is yoga and vedanta. You are listening to yoga vedanta from the very source. My bone marrows and blood will sing yogavedanta. Yoga and vedanta is just my very juice. So I really feel you guys are so fortunate. Not only that... I am also fortunate because I am also siting and enjoying. As I said yesterday, let’s see how Saraswati translates. I can see very clerly that extraordinary intelligence expressing. 14:09 Let’s enter into todays satsang Patanjalis yoga sutras 127th sutra in the 3rd chapter 21st verse ‘The Art of Becoming Invisible’ subject is ‘Art of Becoming Invisible’. Patanjali speaks on one of the great siddhis, extraordinary power expressed through the super consciousness. 15:04 kaya rupa samyama tat grahya shakti stambhe chaksuh prakasha samprayoge antardhanam Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as: through the practice of samyama on the form of the body, the power of perceiving forms being obstructed and the power of manifestation in the eye being separated from the form, the yogi’s body becomes unseen. Swami Prabhavananda translates this sutra as: if one makes samyama on the form of one’s body, obstructing its perceptibility and separating its power of manifestation from the eyes of the beholder, then one’s body becomes invisible.

16:11 Bhagwan Osho translates as: through samyama the image occupying another’s mind can be known. But perception through samyama does not bring knowledge of the mental factors that support the image in another’s mind. By performing samyama on the form of the body and suspend receptive power, the contact between the eye of an observer and the light from the body is broken and the body becomes invisibble. Swami Sachidananda translates as: by samyama on the form of ones body checking the power of perception by intercepting light from the eyes of the observer the body becomes invisible. 17:02 This sutra is the technique for one of the great siddhi – disappearing; becoming invisible. Disappearing is not the exact translation I can say. The right translation is becoming invisible. All right before logically I analyse, think or feel how I am going to prove, I am making a word now; commitment. End of this session at least few hundred of you will see that I have become invisible. Come on now I am going to play the game. Let me teach the samyama. I have decided I will make it as a practical session. At least the ones, who are experiencing kundalini awakening will, suddenly will feel that empty throne is talking. Come on let me see. It’s time to show the yoga siddhis. 18:34 Sit in padmasana; see through the third eye. Bring your awareness to third eye. See through the third eye. Let me expand on the sutra. The sutra says very beautifully - doing samyama on one’s own body, do samyama on your body. Stop the vibrations your body is creating in the space which reaches the other persons eyes, which perceives this form as a form so that your form becomes invisible to the person who is seeing. Understand it is not that you disappear. For example if you put your hand here, it will hit. It will feel the body but your eyes cannot see it. 20:04 See with wide open eyes, really wide open and see through the third eye. Because now I am stopping; I am stopping the signals my body creates in the space and your eyes - instrument which perceives signals; I am separating the perception and your eyes in your eyes. So it’s actually two process. One stopping the vibes created in the space by my body, separating the power of perception from your eyes. 21:26 This becoming invisible is one of the oldest fantasy. I can say the yogis and siddhas were trying for ages and successfully acheived fulfillment in the experiment and created a technology for everybody to experiment and experience. It takes time when you practice on your own. But now I am initiating you and not only that I am doing this to inspire you to have more shraddha, trust on the yogic taditionn. And I wanted all of you to understand how this happens. Just bring your awareness to third eye so that the perception and the tool which percieves this two is slowly separated. And another one thing, this samyama not only brings the extraordinary power of becoming invisible, this samyama teaches you a great truth - what you see is not reality. 23:36 I can see very clearly the vibrations which are being sent in the space because of my body’s existence is settling, slowing down and in the many eyes that perception and perceiver is geting separated. Let time pass, you will see one by one, one by one, slowly people will start feeling wow! Empty throne is talking. 24:20 Let’s continue. You having the extraordinary power of how to become invisible to ordinary eyes; second you understanding, realising whatever is seen or shown are not reality. If you are seeing something or you are seen by somebody, both are not reality. This two understanding is the sacred secrets you need to know from this sutra. 25:13 The technique you need to know from this sutra is bring your awareness to the eyes. With a deep restful awareness see how the scenes are perceived by the seer; how your eyes perceive the scenes. Just bring your awareness to your eyes. See how the ‘seen’ is perceived by your eyes - ‘seer’. 26:04 I can see already few people that perception and the eyes are broken. Anybody who sees, the moment you see the empty throne talking, raise your hand. Because I can see, especially in the people who are sitting outside, around the world, the moment you see empty throne, the person is not there, no body is there on the throne, raise your hand. Then I can know how many coconuts are breaking. 26:48 See when you do it on your own it is a very difficult process. You need to practice for at least 2-3 years and the commentators and sutras, Patanjali sutras say each samyama has to be practiced for 12years. But now because I am initiating, you don’t need to do for so many days. And I have taken a big risk today of promising you instant result. All right it’s ok. I can do it, we can do it, you can do it! 27:29 I wanted all of you to know these samyamas are not jokes or some old mythological fantasy theories. No. They are vey solid truths. Just yesterday I was doing some research in the net. I saw already few American Universities have proved the light created by the object can be obstructed before it reaches the perceivers eyes, without any object between the perceiver and the object. By some unique deflection methods they intervene and without any object between the person and the perceiver it can be deflected. So the perceiver will not be seeing the person. 28:43 Many people used to tell me in the Ajna meditation. Since those days ajna sessions I myself used to sit and asking people to stare through their third eye to my third eye. Many people will report ‘Swamiji I am seeing empty throne. You are not there. I am afraid, where are you?’ I tell them no, my body is there. But when you move your energy and attention to the third eye, you start seeing the real me which doesnot create any vibrations or signals in the space. Only this body creates vibrations and signals in the space. I don’t create any vibration or signal in the space which can reach your eyes. I am me. When you don’t have any samskara inside you you will become so subtle, you will not create any vibration even in the space in the air. 30:14 God! Just feel in the third eye how whatever is seen is experienced in third eye, how scenes are reaching you, signals are reaching you and how it is being perceived; just see that, feel that. Try, today whole day try this samyama; just feeling in your third eye how the scenes are perceived by you, seen and the perception; separate this two action. 31:53 I bless you all. You will be successful. Dont be pessimistic or feeling sad that you cannot be or it won’t work with you. No. It works. Try; it really works. I am not lying; it works. It worked in my life. I have seen it. I have seen that invisibility happens and this is the process. Try; it will surely work. It will give you confidence on yoga sutras and the great realisation - what is being seen is not reality. Perception is not reality. 32:44 So I bless all of you. Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you.
