Sacred Truths: Patanjali Yoga Sutras 95 -Nithyananda Morning Satsang 10 Jan 2011
In this morning's discourse, Paramahamsa Nithyananda explained the communion possible with Vedic deities, and how they help create the realization of sacred truths within us. Aurobindo says all the deities described in the Vedic tradition are independent intelligence available to us. Connecting and communing with them is possible. With this one clarity, Aurobindo is able to give the right understanding, that imbibing the sacred truths can make you experience the deities.
For example, Shiva is the extraordinary bliss of enlightenment, the very source of light, cosmic auspiciousness. Imbibe this sacred truth that Shiva represents and suddenly, you will experience Shiva. In the same way, Devi represents energy. Every sacred truth leads you to communion with this source of the sacred truth. Shiva is a personification of Nithya Ananda. When you catch that sacred truth, communion with Shiva happens.
When you experience levitation, it is not just physical movement, it's a coherence in your physical brain. It is measurable. When you unclutch, you have a communion with Nithyananda and experience the eternal bliss, the eNeffect.
If you want to experience Vishnu, who represents the cosmic truth of all-pervasiveness, simply imbibe that sacred truth. You will have the eNeffect of communion with Vishnu. Vishnu is the god of the North American continent.
Ganapathy, or Ganesha, represents extraordinary power of achievement, pure efficiency. If you imbibe that idea, pure efficiency means life, you will experience life. The Nonmechanical parts of your brain will be awakened which will represent Ganesha. Imbibe this truth, suddenly you will experience Ganesha. You will see his form, you will have communion with him.
Subramaniya represents tremendous courage, the pure valour by its presence without any movement destroys the enemy. Meditate on this pure courage, complete courage, valour, and you will have darshan of Subramaniya.
Surya means the eternally radiating. Meditate and imbibe the truth of eternally radiating, sit unclutched, have only this one truth, you will have communion with Surya.
By imbibing the sacred truths, you will experience communion with that god who represents that sacred truth, embodiment and personification of that sacred truth.
