Title
Ashtanga Yoga - Asana: Reprogram Your Brain (Patanjali Yoga Sutras 99) Nithyananda Satsang 20 Jan 11
Narration
Today was a big breakthrough for Paramahamsa Nithyananda's mission. It was the first online NSP. Many from around the world were sitting with Paramahamsa Nithyananda via teleconferencing, and in return, he was in many halls around the world, including New York, Houston, Seattle, San Jose, Los Angeles, Columbus, Vancouver, Toronto, Singapore, Guadeloupe, Malaysia.
Satsang means being in the company of the ultimate truth. Truth has a unique quality. When you are in the company of it, it makes you as it is. Truth is a living happening. When you are in the company of the ultimate truth, Sat, it just fills you, you become that. Watching this broadcast, everyone was literally in the company of the ultimate truth- physically, mentally and verbally.
To prove this, Paramahamsa Nithyananda is conducting three experiments. The 1st experiment: to teleport vibhooti (sacred ash) to the padhukas (Paramahamsa Nithyananda's sandals) at each of the Spiritual Embassies. The energized deity or padhuka is an independent intelligence. It responds to your prayers, emotions, and thoughts independently and immediately. Paramahamsa Nithyananda was awakening the intelligence and independence of the padhukas.
The 2nd experiment: materialize vibhooti in the hands of the people experiencing Kundalini awakening. His 3rd experiment will get vibhooti to materialize in the hands of nonbelievers! It is actually not materializing, it is teleporting. Tomorrow when the vibhooti is teleporting, he promised to have a glass test tube here with the vibhooti, to prove that the vibhooti reduces where he is, and appears at the Spiritual Embassies around the world.
Patanjali explains how after conquering the pain and pleasures of the body you are no longer bound by it. In the last sutras, Paramahamsa Nithyananda explained the theory of being steady and comfortable. In this discourse, he gave the technique to make the body balanced. If you keep the body balanced you can go beyond pain and pleasure, and the intense, innate, inside pleasure gets awakened. When you are alive in your muscles, the pleasure created is so strong, so intense that you will go beyond outer pleasures.
He guided the audience into the correct posture, then aligned the nadi centers using bija (seed) mantras. It was an exhilarating way to begin the day.

(00:30) Sadāshiva samārambhām Shankarāchārya madhyamām | asmat āchārya paryantām vande guru paramparām ||
I welcome you all, with My love and respects. Dear devotees and disciples, from all over the world, let Me enter into the yoga sutra, the today's Patanjali Yoga Sutra. Today's sutra is 99th sutra, in 2nd chapter, 48th verse. Subject is 'Reprogram Your Brain'.
(01:49) ततो द्वन्द्वानभिघातः॥४८॥ tato dvandvaanabhighaataH That is the sutra. I'll give you the translation.
By Swami Vivekananda: Posture being conquered, the dualities do not obstruct. And Swami Prabavananda translates as: Thereafter, one is no longer troubled by the dualities of sense experience. Swami Satchidananda translates as: thereafter one is not disturbed by the dualities. (02:41)
In this sutra, Patanjali tries to explain how after conquering the posture, the pain and pleasure of the body is conquered. You are no more caught by it. Please understand, the last sutra, I have detailed way explained, how to conquer posture. 'Sukham, Sthiram, Aasanam' - Steady and comfortable. Now I'll give you a technique, I'll make you do that. Last time I explained the theory of being steady and comfortable. 'Sthiram Sukham'. Now I'll give you the exact technique.
(03:33) Please understand, I'll give you the instruction for the technique, how to make your body balanced. After giving the instruction, I'll explain step by step how keeping the body balanced takes you beyond pain and pleasure. See, if you keep the body balanced, you know you will not have pain. You will have a stable, steady posture. You may be wondering, how can that take me beyond pleasure? Actually when you keep the body balanced, the intense, innate, inside pleasure gets awakened. Please understand, your muscle, by its nature, creates pleasure, just because it is alive. I don’t know how you are going to catch what I am saying. If the life force is infused into the muscle, if the muscle is aware that it is alive, it will create pleasure. So, when you balance your body, the life force is experienced inside muscle, which leads to intense, inner pleasure, which takes you beyond the outer pleasure.
(05:07) J Krishnamurti says, “When you enjoy any pleasure, just be aware. Only once go through any pleasure being aware, you will be completed in that pleasure and you will be liberated from it.” This is what J Krishnamurti means. When you are alive, when you are alive in your muscles, the pleasure created is so strong, so intense, you will go beyond the outer pleasure. Let Me give you the instruction exactly, for balancing.
(06:03) Sit either in, vajrasana or padmasana or sukhasana. Then try to find out in which position your upper body feels most light, weightless. You see, if you push your body…. don’t do now, first listen to the instruction. If you push your body with closed eyes like this [forward], you know, you will feel the weight of the body, and slowly try to bring [backwards]. At one point when it is straight, when the equilibrium is completely balanced, when the whole weight falls in the centre, you will feel your body is weightless. Same way try side, left side, you will feel the heaviness of the body, and again slowly, raise your body. Actually when you balance like this, if you wear like this heavy jewel it will be useful, heavy rudraksha, you will really catch the exact point. So one more use of energy beads!! If you balance at one point you will see, again your body is weightless. Push the body to the right side, again start step by step with deep awareness. Bring your body slowly, at one point you will see, “WOW, I am weightless”! Same way backside; slowly bring, at one point you will feel you are weightless. Try this in all four direction, you will find the balance posture for you.
(08:12) It may take totally 3 to 4 minute. That’s it, nothing else. You need to bend to the front, feel the heaviness of the body and slowly push it back. You need to bend side, feel the weight, and slowly push it to the center and this side and backside. Any, any direction, in this four any direction you can start, but you need to do from all four, only then you will find out that balance point, for you. Only then you will find out the balance point for you. Please understand, the moment you find out your balance point and be centered, immediately you'll see, there is no pain, you can sit for any number of hours.
(09:26) Actually next four days, all the NSP participants you can see, practically I will be sitting with you around 10 hours. You will not see Me having any discomfort or uncomfort. You will see exactly Me sitting in the same posture. You can note, next four days you can see, I'll be sitting exactly in this same posture, 10 hours a day with you all. At least, at least 10hrs a day, you will not see Me having any discomfort, uncomfort, anything. Last 10 years, at least 10,000 hours I would have sat in this same posture; no discomfort, no uncomfort, no pain, nothing. Your body will master, the posture.
(10:26) When you sit in the proper posture, and have the samana mudra, immediately you will experience the psychological kundalini awakening, means you will become light. Psychological levitation will happen. You will become light; then few days of practice, the physical levitation also will happen. Please do not imitate samana mudra from Me. See, whenever I do samana mudra, I put left thumb on the top. You don't imitate. You do only right thumb on the top. Actually, I am imbalancing samana little bit, only then I will not levitate, that's why. So I'll just imbalance little bit, so that I can be settled and not only….. Of course, I don't physically levitate. I have balanced that much. Even otherwise to talk, to relate with you all I need to little, very mild percent, but samana need to be little imbalanced. Imbalanced means like a other energies need to be added, kept live. So whenever I put myself in samana mudra, it will be left thumb up, but whenever you do, it is supposed to be right thumb up.
(11:38) Now, let us balance. Let Me give the instruction. Push the body to the front side, and slowly move back and find out at what posture, your body is completely balanced and weightless. Let us do the first step. Please push the body forward, as much as you can and get it back very slowly, very slowly. First feel the heaviness of the body. Push it forward, feel the heaviness, weight of the upper body. Backbone should be straight. It should be straight. Then slowly bring it back. Please try this balancing.
(13:39) Then push the body left side now, left side. Feel the heaviness, weight of the body, and slowly bring it back. Find out the center, the center in which body is weightless. Now push the body to the right side, fully, completely. Push it as much as you can. Slowly bring it back to the center. And, try to find the center where you are weightless. Now push the body backward, push it backside, as much as you can. Bring it back, very slowly, very slowly, with awareness. Find the point, you are weightless. If you want, you can take few more seconds and try once more from any direction you want. Right or left or back or front.
(19:33) Now, let us understand, what Patanjali means by, tato dvandvaanabhighaataH. When the posture is conquered, there is no dualities; means, pain and pleasure, excitement and boredom. Body completely feels balanced, settled, alive. So all we need to do is aligning the body. Every day before you sit for your meditation, take these 3 minutes and align your body. You will see now, all the aligned body, the kundalini awakening will be very easy. When the body is aligned, the awakening of the kundalini becomes very easy. Just, the backbone structure is such; the energy very easily flows from center to center to the crown.
(21:28) I'll guide you all into the simple process of balancing your backbone. See now, what we did, with that you balanced your backbone posture externally. I'll align your nadi's - energy centers now internally. Don't move the body now. Once you freeze it, freeze it. Seattle, stay still. Once you freeze, then just be still. If your body moves because of the kundalini awakening then it is okay. You yourself don’t move in ordinary way. I'll awaken your inner energy and align your posture, through this proper syllables; the beeja mantras.
(22:32) OM (PROCESS)
Let your root center be completely awakened. Let the kula kundalini,, kudalini maha shakti, in your root center, be awakened, Let the Ganesha, Mahadeva, who is stable in your root centre be alive.
OM
Let the kundalini shakti, in your swadishtana, being centered, be alive and awakened.
OM
Let your manipuraka be awakened. Let the kundalini shakti align itself and flow towards the crown center. Let it reach the crown center and experience the communion with Sadashiva, Maheshwara. The kundalini intensely penetrate your every cell, your cell energy; let it become alive and active. Let your bio energy overflow in your body.
Let the awakened kundalini shakti, reach the crown center and the crown centre feel the overflowing energy and bliss. OM HREEM OM HREEM OM HREEM OM HRAAM OM HREEM OM NAMAH SHIVAYA OM NAMAH SHIVAYA OM NAMAH SHIVAYA
(32:47) RELAX.
I bless you all. Live, radiate, share the Eternal Bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you. (33:05)

(00:25) Sadāshiva samārambhām Shankarāchārya madhyamām | asmat āchārya paryantām vande guru paramparām ||
I welcome you all with My love and respects. Dear devotees and disciples from all over the world; many from around the world are sitting in this hall and in many halls around the world I am sitting now. As on now in 12 places NSP is happening; 12 places people are sitting with us now. As you are all aware this is the first program, four day workshop, I am offering through internet video conferencing. So I am just aligning. In those days before starting the ritual the acharyas will do puja to the different parts. Now before starting the class we should do puja to all the different video conferencing equipments and everything; see that they are all in tune.
(02:20) Gnanamaya, can you connect with Malaysia? Ok, are they able to hear me? No. Ok. Alright I send My blessings to all the devotees in Malaysia. Today they successfully had a peace march in Malaysia with 1000s of devotees, which was attended and watched by 100s of thousands of people, public. Today, one of the largest religious festival happening in Southern part of Asia; in Malaysia today there is a festival today called Thaipusam. More than millions of people gather; more than millions means at least 2 million. More than 2 million gather, huge gathering of Hindus. And today our devotees had a huge procession with few thousands of people for religious peace and religious freedom; freedom to practice our religion. It was successful and well received by everybody. My blessings to Malaysia devotees and to Malaysia for giving us religious freedom to practice our religion and faith. I thank Malaysia and its government for respecting and allowing our religious freedom. Thank you for being a welcoming country for religious freedom.
(04:28) Let’s enter into the satsanga. Satsanga means being in the company of truth, the ultimate truth. Truth has a unique quality; when you are in the company of it, it makes you as it. Please understand I am using very decisive words. When you are in company of it, it makes you as it; because no other word I am using the word ‘it’ but ‘it’ is not it. When you use the word ‘it’ for something it shows as if it is not alive. But the truth is - living happening. When you are in the company of the ‘sat’, the ultimate truth, it just fills you, it just fills you. You become that. Satsanga means, being in the company of the ultimate truth. So now you are literally in the company of the ultimate truth; physically, mentally, verbally.
(06:16) So I just wanted to remind you all, sit either in vajrasana or sukhasana or padmasana and samana mudra; samana mudra means the right thumb should be up and the left thumb should be lower and lock the hand; that’s it. Samana mudra. Some of you may be aware I am giving a special spiritual training to all the satsang centers. First few days I was giving them the experience of kundalini awakening, the next few days along with the kundalini awakening, awakening the paduka, means the vibhooti materializing, getting materialized from padukas. You see it is not for any magic or miracle. When a vibhooti comes out of the paduka, now you know that paduka is now jagrat paduka, awakened paduka, which has a direct connection with Me. So any prayer or a word or offering you offer it to that paduka, directly reaches Me. It is connected to the cosmic energy. Please understand energized deity or energized paduka and awakened deity or awakened paduka is independent intelligence. It responds to your prayers, emotions, thoughts, independently and immediately.
(08:10) So I was awakening the intelligence in padukas; prana pratishtha of the padukas were happening. I was so happy in the first set of training, many had kundalini awakening and the second set of actions many padukas I have strongly felt being connected and the vibhooti has started coming. Every day I am receiving photographs from devotees. Third experiment which I was trying, which I will continue to try for next one week till the end of the NSP, I will try to materialize or teleport vibhooti in the hands of the people who are experiencing kundalini awakening. This is the next experiment.
Please understand it’s a different levels and levels of experiment. First the paduka which is not, which does not have a logic, which is an ordinary material, from that materializing vibhooti; it’s very easy project, easy thing. Then person who has a logic, but ready to surrender, a devotee, from his hand materializing. Then the third level we will do - person who has a logic but who is not ready to surrender, scientific community or an atheist or a thick head, maybe a politician. We will get those people and from their hand we will materialize.
(09:56) And, no, this is not for any glory or magic or anything. It is just to tell you this is a science; simple science. When the cosmic energy is awakened how much of auspicious things can be done to people. That day I was trying to materialize vibhooti from the hands of the devotees, I received photographs and email from Oman, Nithya Devi, one of our devotee, Sri Priyan’s daughter, she had vibhooti in her hands; not little, huge quantity. I wanted to tell her, please distribute that vibhooti to anybody who is sick who comes for healing. Immediately they will be healed; whether it is a cancer or any disease. Because when this vibhooti…...actually it is not materializing, materializing is not right word. It is not creation, it is teleporting; from my table here there is a vibhooti it will reduce here and it will go there.
(11:05) Maybe from tomorrow I will prove. We will have a test tube - the glass tube, in that we will fill the vibhooti with mark. You will see the vibhooti going down by the time I end the satsang and the vibhooti will be there in a different place. It’s like teleporting. So when the matter becomes energy and travels to that persons hand and again becomes energy by the time this is filled by My healing energy. It almost becomes part of My body. So it will be filled with a healing energy. So anybody with any physical and mental disorder, give this vibhooti which comes out of paduka or comes from your hand; you will see immediately they will be healed. Tremendous healing will happen. Even in Tamil Nadu some six seven centers reported yesterday in organizers meet to Me that the day I declared that from all padukas vibhooti will come….
(12:13) Vibhooti just came from New York paduka it is coming…..in New York just now it is coming I am seeing the message. New York…. They are sending the message to Me. Just now vibhooti is coming. Great! That’s what tomorrow we will have... actually now you cannot quantify because it is all in the cover. From tomorrow we will have it in the test tube with a marking so you will see exactly how it goes down step by step and comes out there. Anyhow New York devotees give that vibhooti to people who want healing because it will be a powerful energy product. Actually that vibhooti will be more powerful than the vibhooti directly you take it from here. If I give it in the hand I am not materializing, that just the matter getting energized and goes to your hand. But there it is almost like gets dismantled by energy and travels in space and gets assembled again in energy. It is like filled by the energy. Great! Use this for the healing.
(13:42) It is time now we enter into the satsang. I am so happy actually today I feel it’s a big breakthrough for the great mission which I need to do for the world. Because we are using technology and the scalable breakthrough is happening. So I don’t need to continuously travel to teach, educate, give experience to people. That is the only purpose I used to travel. I never travel for sightseeing. I never have any interest for sightseeing. No, really! I went to Paris. The devotee who hosted Me she was so excited that she can take me to the top of the Eiffel tower. She drove Me all around and she was, she bent on she was literally begging “Swamiji we should go to the top and see the Paris”. I said, “No, I am able to see. What more you will show.” I did not even lower the car glass to look. I said, “No, it’s ok, drive.” She said, “Swamiji, at least lower the glass and look for my sake because this is such a big pride we have. Anybody comes to this city we show them and people are surprised, shocked, excited. You are not even lowering the glass. It’s almost like disrespecting”. I said, “No, no, no I am not disrespecting. Just I am not excited to see something.” I have seen the seer who is the most beautiful scene. So nothing more excites Me.
(15:30) Maybe one thing I see with all My excitement in my life is that Arunachla; nothing else. That’s why you will see in My bedroom, near My bedroom, you will see one Arunachala. Wherever I sit and give My personal interview or talking to people I will have one Arunachala. Whenever I find time My eyes will be on Arunachala. Maybe that is the only thing I see with excitement. Otherwise there is nothing. That also I can see when I close My eyes; so there is nothing. I don’t need to travel for the sake of sightseeing. I was always travelling for the sake of teaching and giving experience. And fortunately the technology has made it possible, the technology has made that My teaching is possible through remote way and the divine energy has made even giving experience has become possible in the remote way.
(16:37) So I am so happy for the video conferencing technology and for Matsyendranatha and Gorakhnatha. Please understand the kundalini experience which people are experiencing being away physically from Me, like many other centers... you see being in My breathing space and experiencing kundalini - this technology happened in Me because of Patanjali. This was happening even before. Even the time from which I started mission it was happening. But people experiencing the awakening of kundalini even not being in My breathing space, like video conferencing, this happened in Me because of Matsyendranatha and Gorakhnatha; their Hatha Yogas, Hatha yoga techniques; that was responsible.
(17:31) I wanted this to be on record, whoever is experiencing the kundalini awakening being in different places through the satsang all of you are indebted to Matsyendranatha and Gorakhnatha. The are great masters of... they are actually master-disciple. Both of them are responsible ... like twins almost like Ramakrishna and Vivekananda, even though they are two bodies they are same energy. Same way Matsyendranatha and Gorakhnatha, two bodies but same energy; they are the masters of Hatha yoga and the most powerful energy science, energy technology. It is their technology which has become experience in Me, which is responsible for this awakening of kundalini even if people are in remote place. So now we can teach and give experience, anybody anywhere in the world literally. I bless you all, live, radiate, share the eternal bliss, Nithyananda.
Thank you. (19:11)
