I welcome you all with my love and respects. I welcome all the devotees, disciples, samajis, satsangis sitting with us around the world at this moment in 1000s of places doing pratyaksha paduka puja and sitting and listening satsang. I welcome you all with my love and respects. We declare today as ‘Paduka Puja Day’ in our mission. All over the world every year today we will gather to offer paduka puja. Today, I bless all over the world, all the devotees and disciples who do pada puja everyday, in all their padukas today vibhooti and kumkum will be materialized. You will see it happening in a very big way. Today onwards I request all the devotees not to use vibhooti kumkum for puja so that you will know when it materializes, it is materialized and teleported. Today onwards use only sandal for paduka puja. So vibhooti and kumkum should not be used for doing pada puja, paduka puja. So naturally whatever vibhooti kumkum appears in the paduka it is only materialized.
[02:52]
Already today morning we had vibhooti and akshata materializing from Nithya Devi’s hand. Now the Venkateshwara’s sandal, Srivatsa sandal will come. Wipe and keep it clear, wipe the hand and... From Venkateshwara the Srivatsa sandal and Tirupati laddu both will come. It’s already on the way. Yesterday itself he has sent. It is happening. All the akshata which disappeared that is coming first. They are in the pipeline. So today all the padukas will have vibhooti and kumkum. Five cities are sitting with me in two way connection having nayana deeksha; Los Angeles, San Hose, Taramangalam, Ohio, New Jersey. I welcome you all with my love and blessings. Taramangalam Bhaktargalakku ashirvadam.

All the devotees and disciples sitting with us at this moment celebrating Paduka Puja Day welcome you all and today is Singapore Center’s inauguration. Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam inaugurates its next temple in Singapore today. It’s a huge place. Here is a mail from the Singapore center. ‘Dearest Swamiji with your blessings we start your main center in Singapore. This center is supported by 15 satsangis’ Wow!! ‘All of whom are in debt to you for the beauty and love you have brought into our lives. Please bless the center to reach the self sufficiency soon and blaze a path to take you to the world.’ My blessings not only to the center, to all the satsangis. I am with you all. Here is the list of satsangis. All right before that you can finish your arathi. I will accept your arathi and bless the center.
[06:12]
My blessings to Singapore center; you guys will be successful in spreading spiritual knowledge and bliss, my mission, not only in Singapore to the whole world. My blessings to all of you. All the auspicious things – wealth, health, bliss and enlightenment - all that will happen in your life! I am with you all. Lot of cities are coming on two way connection. Now Seattle has come on Nayana Deeksha two way connection; Toronto, Metur, Mumbai, Burami Oman, Klang Malaysia, Taramangalam, Guadeloupe; all these centers are also online having two way connection. Now they are all coming one by one. Come on today as the paduka day, we should create some intense, really, really intense, not ordinary, ordinary intense; something should be done today to the world to give a strong experience. Today whole day, all the padukas around the world, my padukas and the padukas which you use to do guru puja will not only radiate intense presence, it will radiate vibhooti and kumkum very clearly. You will all see, too many places today the vibhooti kumkum will be happening. Mark, just to make you understand the presence of the Master.
[9:07]
When Pandya has thrown his stick beating me, I showed the whole world my physical presence by allowing the whole world to have that beating experience. This time when this fool threw the shoe I have decided to allow the whole world to experience my physical presence through this vibhooti and kumkum radiating from padukas. Pandiyan pirambaal aditha pozhudhu, pirambadiyai ulagam muzhuvadhum ulla uyirgal thaanga veithu saannithyam unarthinom. Indha moodan erindha shoevinal ippozhudum ulagam muzhuvadhum indha saannithyathai unarthuvadarkaga vibhoodhiyum kungumamum paadhugaigalilirundu velippadum. Pandian pirambadi patta adhe sareeram dan idhaiyum thaangiyadhu enbadhu unmaiyanaal ulagam muzhuvadilirukum Ella paadhugaigalilirundum vibhoodhiyum kungumamum velippadum. Pandian pirambadiyai andru thandom, ponaal pogattum podhum. Indha murai vibhoodhi kungumathodu pogattum. Same way, I declare today all over the world we will give artificial limbs as a donation to poor people. Let us do service. The unconscious fools give what they have. Let us give what we have. Even if you squeeze the honeycomb only honey will come out. So, so we will give what we have vibhooti and kumkum through all the padukas and artificial limbs to at least 1000 people. From today we will start registering, give a press statement; whoever enrolls we will start giving.
[12:00]
Let’s enter into today’s subject; satsang subject. 152nd sutra of Patanjali’s yoga sutras and 3rd chapter, 46th verse subject ‘Ashta Maha Siddhis - Eight Mighty Powers’. Let me enter into sutra. Tato’nimadi-pradurbuvah kaya-sampat taddharmanabhighatah Swami Vivekananda translates this sutra as: From that comes minuteness and rest of the powers, glorification of the body and indestructibility of the bodily qualities. Swami Prabhavananda translates as: Hence one gains the power of becoming as tiny as an atom and all similar powers, also perfection of the body which is no longer subject to the obstructions of the elements. Swami Sachidananda translates as: From that comes attainment of anima and other siddhis, bodily perfection and non obstruction of bodily functions by the influence of the elements. The eight major siddhis alluded to here are anima - to become very small, mahima - to become very big, lahima - very light, karima – heavy, prapti - to reach anywhere, pragamya - to achieve all ones desire, ishitva - ability to create anything, vashitva - ability to command and control everything. Bhagwan Osho translates as: From this follows the attainment of anima etc perfection of the body and removal of the elements power to obstruct the body.
[14:38]
Patanjali is continuing from last sutra. He says all the samyama he described in the last sutra, I described the basic five samyamas to all of you. Through that five samyama…. of course I have not described all the samyamas because it is literally impossible for you guys to do, but I will take as a course and record it and keep it so that the knowledge is not destroyed. Through these samyamas Patanajali says, all the eight mighty powers are expressed in your system. I will describe one by one. Anima means becoming small like a atom. You can just disappear. Mahima becoming huge like a mountain, like a Meru, Kailash. Lahima - very light; that is what is happening in the levitation. You all experience lahima siddhi when you levitate. You become very light so that…. because of that the body raises into the air. Garima - heavy, actually there are some people who can experience the heavy; the body will not move just like a rock. That is also one more siddhi, lahima sorry Garima that siddhi is called. Prapti - to reach anywhere you want, Pragamya - to achieve all ones desire; you can fulfill any desire. Ishitva - leadership consciousness; being a leader of all the situations of your life. Vashitva - ability to command and control everything in your life. These are the great eight siddhis.
[17:28]
Only one thing I wanted to tell you all, it is possible to have all these eight siddhis. It is not just stories. It’s a solid experience. It is possible. This sutra is more for inspiring you to practice those samyamas so that you will start expressing and radiating these extraordinary powers. You can become like a atom or like a Kailash mountain or light like a feather, air or heavy like huge mountain.
[18:33]
The moment I uttered the word Kailash, I remembered. All of you may be aware I wanted to announce to all the devotees, disciples, samajis, satsangis around the world, the court has relaxed all my bail conditions for next three months. We will be having Kailash trip. This year, first time we will be going to Kailash as a big group. I am not going to describe what we are going to experience in Kailash. I can’t also I think. Even Himalayas is too much. Kailash!! I was avoiding going to Kailash because I was feeling that body has not settled. If I go there the ecstasy and the samadhi will be so high, I may not settle down in the body at all. Now the body has really settled.
[19:44]
I tell you all now itself when I come back from Kailash my body will be directly materializing and teleporting; expressing things. You guys will see. Finally what happened you see, me being there silently and resting for 52 days or 53 days whatever it is; finally what happened? I only expressed huge spiritual energy. Now this Kailash trip is going to make multifold energy explosion and expression through me. It is going to be a really transforming trip. I welcome all of you to join. It is not even a once in a lifetime trip; once in many lifetimes you get an opportunity to go to kailash.
[21:33]
Let’s come back to these siddhis. Lahima - becoming light; when all your engrams and heaviness is taken out of your system, naturally you become light like a feather and start levitating. Garima - becoming heavy like a huge mountain. Prapti - to reach anywhere you want; the past, present, future. And Ishitva - leadership consciousness all the time, all the situations of your life will be under your control. Pragamya - to fulfill, achieve all desires. Vashitva - ability to command and control everything. These eight siddhis I can say are the expression of yogic powers. Actually they express when you become enlightened also automatically through your system. Through samyama also you can gain.
[23:26]
Only thing I feel you guys are so fortunate to listen about all these great powers, not just as words, you can see something in front of you. People only talk, talk, talk about these powers. But here you can at least see some glimpse of these great expressions. This sutra is basically an inspiring sutra to practice samyamas and yogic lifestyle. I can say that not only this words, all the experiences you guys are seeing will inspire you to live yogic life.
[24:17]
I bless you all to experience yogic body, Vedic mind, eN life. Maybe for few minutes you can all sit. Today all of you feel connected to the padukas, guru padukas which directly liberates, which is an independent intelligence; energized by Guru, Master, but after energizing it is an independent intelligence. So all of you feel connected to the padukas and sit in samyama, samadhi with padukas. Let the… let all of you experience kundalini awakening just by the grace of guru padukas. Let the padukas radiate intense presence and awaken all your kundalini. Come on, you will see now, many people whose kundalini is…. who has not experienced kundalini awakening will experience now; because the paduka is independent intelligence. You will all experience levitation and kundalini awakening, the eN effect through the padukas. Just sit and relax remembering the guru padukas. Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate and share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you.

Let them radiate intense kundalini energy in all of you now. You will all experience eNkriya through the paadukas. Blessings!
