## Description

His Divine Holiness Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam started travelling around the world when He was 25 years of age in 2003 with the clear vision of establishing Kailasa, the enlightened civilization and greatest Hindu nation. In 2004, He undertook His second world tour, covering three regions - Malaysia, USA and South America. He visited 10 cities in the USA, conducting meditation programs, delivering free satsangs, and initiating the people with the Hindu Truths. In just His second world tour, He ordained 50 acharyas (teachers) who would carry forth the tenets of Hinduism to humanity at large.

HDH shines in this discourse on the most interesting of topics - Death. He sets the context for this session with a Historic reference to Mahabharata and a question asked of the oldest Pandava - Yudhishtira . When asked what the great mystery is, Yudhishtira responded - People die everyday but still people alive think they will be here forever. No one wants to look at Death when they are alive.

HDH reveals how important it is for you to know about Death while you are alive, because the understanding of Death changes the understanding of life. The topic has many answers - people create theories, philosophies, many religions to answer the topic. Even God, HDH reveals, is but a creation of people who try to answer this question. HDH reveals the truth.

When you die, you pass through the 7 energy layers - of which the Body is the first. The moment you are past this physical layer your physical actions will be forgotten. All that matters is how consciously you lived, with how much awareness you lived with. After death, whether you lived as a Saint or as a Sinner does not count, societal right or wrong don't matter anymore. Cognizing this when you alive prepares you for the decision you need to take during death - Indeed Hell and Heaven are not physical they are psychological, you live them now. Now decides what death will be for you.
