Description:

n today’s morning Satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda dives into the deeper aspects of completion. To achieve complete completion, we need to complete with all the layers of karma that we carry. It is not enough to simply follow a spiritual path, practicing completion as we remember throughout the day. Even making completion a priority is inadequate. We need to eat, sleep, breath, and live it! It must be the only priority in our lives! A Sannyas is a person who is making completion the only priority in life! Tags in English:

I welcome all the devotees, disciples, samajis, satsanghis sitting with us all over the world through Nithyananda TV, Sadhna TV, Lotus News Channel, Janashree TV, Eshwar TV and two-way video-conferencing. I welcome all of you with my love and respects.

Today, we have a special Chief Guest, Swami Atmanandaji Maharaj from Kanavaipudur. Swamiji is a direct disciple of Swami Chidbhavananda. Swami Chidbhavananda is South India’s Vivekananda. Swami Chidbhavananda has contributed so much. I don’t want to introduce Swami Chidbhavananda to all of you, because I have already spoken about Swami Chidbhavananda many times in our satsanghs. The whole Bhagavad Gita satsanghs our satsang and book I have dedicated to Swami Chidbhavananda, because I read Bhagavad Gita first time from Swami Chidbhavananda’s Tamil translation. So even though I have never met Swami Chidbhavananda directly, he was a great inspiration for me.

Swami is a direct disciple of Swami Chidbhavananda and Swamiji has also created huge organizations. Actually, Swamiji’s the creator of whole Karur in and around organisations in Karur and area. All the educational institutions now owned by Tapovanam has been created by Swamiji and at present Swamiji is the President of the Sharada Niketan Trust. He heads education institutions and he also has many schools where thousands of students are getting free education. Swamiji’s a powerful orator, teacher and a great sadhu. He has initiated many Sannyasis and Sannyasinis and created many institutions for his brother disciples. Above all, an important thing for Dhyanapeetam our sangha should know Swamiji is the first person who gave money for Dhyanapeetam.

In 2001 January, now I think twelve, thirteen years before, , twelve years before when the Erode devotees gathered together and wanted to donate land to me, I said, ‘I will go to Nerur Sadashiva Brahmendra’s samadhi and take the blessings and come. Then we will start the ashram.’ I went to Nerur to have Sadashiva Brahmendra’s samadhi’s darshan and blessings, then on the way I went to Swamiji Atmanandaji’s ashram and I took blessings from Swamiji also. I asked Swamiji to bless. I said, ‘Swamiji, now I have completed my parivrajaka yatra. Now I am going to settle down in one place. Few devotees are giving a small land in Erode. I am going to start staying there but I don’t know where I wanted the ashram to be but I am going to be staying in Erode.’ The moment he heard that immediately Swamiji gave the first donation. Still the receipt we have. So in a way Swamiji started Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam. It is, the whole Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam is initiated, started by Swamiji.

Then please understand, it is not what amount is important, but the attitude of giving. That is the first thing. Swamiji is such a compassionate, loving and giving sadhu. And not only the money, the blessings he gave. Please understand, now after our huge success, suddenly so many people claim that I belong to them, I belong to them, I belong to them I belong to them, but it is actually Swamiji who started the whole Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam. So actually, the money with which Swamiji gave, with that only we registered that land. Registration of that land happened with the money Swamiji gave and now you know, rest is history. And throughout the thin and thick times, Swamiji always stood by us, supported us, blessed us and today Swamiji is here to bless all of us.

I requested Swamiji to speak few words but Swamiji said it is okay. But, on behalf of me and Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam, I offer our humble respects to Swamiji. Then I’ll continue the satsangh.

06:48 - 12:03 Swamiji Atmanandaji Maharaj’s address in Tami

Translator:

Nithyanandam, the translation of the blessing message Swami Atmananda Maharaj. Swamiji belongs to the same parampara, the heredity of Sri Ramakrishna. Indeed Swamiji is now decorating, adorning the sacred seat which was previously adorned by the group of Sri Ramakrishna, totapuri . By God’s grace Swamiji took birth. Right from the young age Swamiji has been doing so much pious and enriching work to society and the whole world. With spirituality in India, showing the world Swamiji is doing that work. From young age he received God’s grace and is doing the great work and accomplishments. If you have God’s grace all good thoughts and wishes will get fulfilled. Swamiji has established centres across the world and spread spirituality. When we are talking, when we both were talking yesterday, he said the number of Sannyasis and Sanyasanis in Dhyanapeetam if we see we don’t even have one Sannyasi per city. Swamiji wants to create at least 10 lakh Sannyasis in India. Swamiji indeed has the grace and blessings of the holy trinity Sri Ramakrishna, Sharada Devi and Swamiji Vivekananda and the blessings of God, grace of God. Swamiji Atmanandaji Maharaj extends his whole hearted cooperation, support and assures that his support and cooperation will be there always for Swamiji. From a small age Swamiji has become the tool of God and is doing great things. If God’s blessings is there all good things will happen. The dream of Swami Vivekananda that is winning the whole world with spirituality, India winning the whole world with spirituality and the spreading of spirituality throughout the world. Let all this happen and all men should have, all people should have great wealth and prosperity and live a blissful life. Let everybody be happy. We are all very fortunate to have the grace of Swamiji.

With this Swamiji Atmanandaji Maharaj concluded his blessing message, thank you, Nithyanandam

Swamiji:

I’ll continue to expand on the subject: “SANNYAS”. Today, I think fourth or fifth day, I will continue to expand on “SANNYAS”, because I have so much to share about Sannyas, so much to tell about Sannyas.

Please understand, the patterns you created, the incompletions you accumulated, the samskaras you built, the engrams you engraved for janmas, for ages, from time immemorial, at least you need to spend one birth to complete them, one birth to be free of them. Whatever is said and done, when there is some other priority in the life, the Completion doesn’t happen to the level of completing with Completion itself.

Please listen. There are various levels of Completion. If you have a good relationship with others, you think it is Completion. That is only one level of Completion. Many times, people get settled with that level of Completion. Many times, people think that is enough for the life to go on. Please understand, not having disease is not enough healthy, not having disease may be one step of health but yogic body is far away from this negative health. Same way, not having mental chaos and confusion does not mean you have achieved the ultimate. Not having fights in the house does not mean you really completed.

So, the level of Completion to run your life smoothly, just to have a good relationship, a friendly atmosphere, that alone is not ultimate peak possibility of human life. Please listen that alone is not peak possibility of human life. The completion should happen in your being to the level of completing with the very incompletion which started the life and death cycle in you, birth and death cycle in you. Please understand, the birth and death cycle itself started in you due to some incompletion. Going to that level and completing.

You have three layers of Karma:

The brought karma is “Prarabdha Karma”.

Accumulated karma is “Agamya Karma”.

Reserve Karma is “Sanchita Karma”.

Please understand, the brought karma, karma brought to be enjoyed, completed in this body is “Prarabdha”.

The karmas you accumulate, incompletions you accumulate after you assumed this body in this life is “Agamya”.

The reserve is “Sanchita”.

Usually, if you complete with Agamya itself you get satisfied. Seekers go a little deeper than Agamya. They complete the Prarabdha also but only when you complete with the Sanchita also you will be liberated from the cycle of birth and death. Just having good relationships, just having health, just having mental wellness may not be completely.

Having Completion as the first priority is not my goal. Having Completion as the only priority is the goal of human life. Please understand, having Completion in your laundry list is the life of common man. Having Completion as the first priority in your laundry list is the life of a Seeker. Having Completion as the only priority is the life of Sannyas.

Having Completion in your laundry list, having Completion in your list of things to do which every one of you paste in your refrigerator, things to do – laundry, shopping, pick up the kid, drop the daughter in the dance school, Completion also if you have time. This is a life of a human being.

Completion - the first priority - life of a Seeker.

Completion the one and only priority - life of a Sannyasi.

Please listen. All the best things you see in life, whether it is intelligence, or art and architecture, or language, or music and poetry, or lifestyle knowledge, anything best, please understand, anything best you see is the gift of Sannyasis. It is contribution of Sannyasis.

Recently, I am spending a lot of time with the history of Naga Sannyasis. I had the opportunity to see the original documents and records belongs to Mahanirvani Akhada, our akhada and many of the historical references about our Mahants; during the Moghul period, British period, the achievements of these great sadhus; and pre-history, 5,000 years before, the contribution of these sadhus. I tell you, please understand, these sadhus are literally like Mahadeva, Shiva. If you see Shiva’s story, all the useless things he keeps with himself, but all the best things he gives to society. See when the churning of the Milky Ocean happened, the best fragrant flower trees, he gave to devatha’s; Shyamantaka jewelry he gave it to Vishnu; the Miss Universe – Lakshmi – he gave it to Narayana. Everything he gave away. What finally he kept with himself? Poison! What is his ornaments? The snakes which drinks that poison. Same way, Naga sadhus, all the useless things of the society they kept with themselves. They did not even wear dress. They did not keep the best things with themselves. All the useless things they kept with themselves. But all the best things they gave to society. All the best things they gave to society.

When I was studying, please understand, the first flight is not done by the Wright Brothers. It is done by a person in Mumbai; you need to know this fact, financed by Nagas of Mumbai Mahanirvani Akhada. Sannyas ashram of Mumbai. Swami Maheshwarananda Puri has financed this venture. There are records. Swami Maheshwarananda Puri of Mumbai Sannyas ashram has financed the first aircraft building forty years before the Wright Brothers flew into the air. So, the first aircraft was not created by the Wright Brothers. It was created by a pundit, Vedic pundit in Mumbai. The pundit did not have any money. It was financed by the Mahanirvani Akhada.

When I dig out the history of the Naga sadhus, the amount of contribution they have done in the Science, Art, in every field education in every field. Unimaginable contribution, what they have done then and what they are doing even now. It is unimaginable, amazing contribution. They protected the Dharma. Dharma protected them. Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitaha! They protected Dharma and Dharma protected them. It the contribution of the Sannyasis still this country’s culture, knowledge is alive. The contribution of Sannyasis is unimaginable, unique, amazing. I can give you tons and tons of references how all the ancient best things are preserved, protected, enriched and expounded by the great Sannyasis. Not just in the spiritual field, even in the field of agriculture, in the field of clothes, in the field of architecture, how the intelligence of Sannyasis played such a major role and efficiency of the Sannyasis played such an amazing role in the whole field. It’s unimaginable.

Please understand, it is time for us to revive that same tradition. I am committing with Mahanirvani Peeta, in this lifetime, in this body, in this lifetime, I will create ten lakh sadhus. It is my commitment to Mahanirvani Peeta, revive this Sannyas Sampradaya. India has 6,40,000 villages. I’ll see to it that each village has installed at least one Sannyasi.

I request all the devotees, please listen; I wanted to remind you all of this word:

If you change after the change, you will SURVIVE.

If you change along with the change, you will SUCCEED.

If you cause the change, you will LEAD.

So I request all the devotees, be cause for the change, be cause for the change, because change is happening now, be cause for the change, because change is happening now. Be cause of the change in some form. If you are unmarried, jump into Sannyas. If you are married, at least see to it that you give one child to Sannyas. I am very bold in asking. I never asked anything from people, money or any favour. Now I am saying, now I am requesting this, not for me, but for humanity, for your own life.

I have seen various organizations, rise and fall of so many organizations from various religions and Hindu religion and my own organization. I can’t say “fall”; people try to make it fall. I have seen everything. I tell you from that rich experience, Hinduism needs only one thing – trained Sannyasis. Hinduism has everything else. It’s not that money is our problem; it is not that not having followers is our problem; it’s not that media attacking is our problem. That and all is secondary. The first need is integrated, authentic, trained sannyasis, shaastra dhaari sannyasis who can digest the shaastras and enrich the world with that same shaastras. So, ten lakh shaastra dhaari sannyasis is the goal. Ten lakh shaastra dhaari sannyasis is life. Let us go to nook and corner of the world, reach out to every village of the country and ask the village, ‘Give us at least ten people. We will train them and give them back to you to enrich your village, not just spiritually, in every possibility.’

Please understand, only a Sannyasi continues to stay with the goal throughout the life.

People many time come and tell me, ‘What is there Swamiji? I live as a Sannyasi inside. Why can’t I live as a Sannyasi inside? In the same house itself in the same lifestyle. Why should I give up? I am a Sannyasi inside. ‘In the Facebook I also see many postings.

If you want my answer, the one-word answer. I don’t need to give any word. You all understand my smile.

No really only a Sannyasi remembers even to himself that he has taken up this ideal. If you have not declared to the world and taken up this lifestyle, if you just declare to you and live this without declaring to the world and taking as a lifestyle what you call as a “mental Sannyasi”, in ten days you will forget that you took mental Sannyas. Forget about others forgetting, even you will forget. Even for you to remember, you need to do so many things of declaring, wearing, taking up, all this.

So understand, Sannyas is a powerful lifestyle, enriching yourself and enriching others. Enriching yourself and enriching others/

Essence of today’s satsangh:

LET SANNYAS BE THE CHANGE AND YOU BE THE CAUSE OF THE CHANGE.

33:40 Hindi - 36:59

Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share and explode in eternal bliss, Nithyananda.

Photos from the Day

This morning devotees gathered to offer Paduka Puja (an offering of gratitude to the sacred sandals of the master) followed by chanting from Guru Gita. We were graced with the presence of Swami Atmananda Swamiji, the first sponsor of Nithyananda Dhyaanapeetham, who spoke a few words and gave blessings to Nithyananda Sangha.

The daily morning Satsang continued to expand on the subject of Sannyas, for the fifth day.  Swamiji spoke about the birth & death cycle, and how it originated out of incompletion. He said that we must go to that level of completion to be ‘completely complete’.  He then reinforced yesterday’s message by requesting all devotees to be a ‘cause’ for change, “because the change is happening now!” Those who put the cause of Completion as their only priority are Sannyas.  Swamiji has committed to creating 10 lakh Sannyasis in this lifetime.

A last interesting note from Swamiji today was that the first recorded flight actually occurred 40 years before the Wright Brothers, by Mumbai Naga Sannyasis and was funded by Mahanirvani Arcada! – Another example of the richness of the Sannyas tradition, and what they have offered to the world.
