Nithyananda Launches Annalaya Project

Description

In today's morning satsang, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (Swamiji) shares his vision for the world-wide Annalaya: free food for the hungry both spiritually and physically. Let the sangha create food and share, without waste. Wasting food is not only throwing away useful food, it is also dumping food into a stomach that is not hungry. A center is to be established in each city with free food for all who come and a library with free reading. The Shaivite lifestyle is sharing with the world. Nithyananda reminds his sangha that either God or Devil can be awakened in others. When devotees set the example of God with integrity and authentic goodness, the God in others is reflected back to them.

[00:03:18]

I welcome you all with My love and blessings. Today Nirahara samyama third level eighth day. I am doing the Nirahara successfully I think third day…third day… third or fourth day, I don’t remember. When did I tell? I think in the Brahmanyam Bahuputratam class I announced - BB. And successfully lost 1.3 kg 😃 Yes. Third day. Within these three days successfully lost 1.3 kg. Good but still I have to lose. In the ashram all of us will check. We should be in the lower rung of the BMI scale weight. Understand. All of you have the BMI check; means, for your height what should be the weight. There will be average between 50-60, 50-55, 40-45 something like that. The lowest number should be your weight. So that you have a freedom to have pizza whenever you want ☺. So Nirahara samyama third level eighth day and Brahmanyam bahuputrataam successfully going tenth day. I am the favourite inheritor of the cosmos.

[00:05:35]

I tell you, even this Chit Sabha feels today it is favorite inheritor of the cosmos. Look around how clean it looks. Hey show the camera all around the chit sabha. No, this shows, when you are free from patterns you keep the place clean. Brahmanyam bahuputrataam! And then the next thing is very important thing. I wanted to give My vision for Annalayas, Nithyananda Annalayas all over the world. Please understand few basic things: Food is the root pattern which our Masters used to guide individual towards enlightenment, and same way, the food only Master’s have used even to ‘eN-reach’ people. Understand. Food was used for enriching and eN-reaching. Right understanding, authenticity enriches you by liberating you from many patterns and sharing it with a deep love eN-reaches you.

[00:07:38]

Now I can see Dubai Thirukovilur, blessings. Dubai Thirukovilur blessings. I can see Dhyanatma also. Blessings. What’s his name? Prem, Prem attends satsang regularly. I think whenever I repeat the name of their city he waves the tail and acknowledges that. God! Beautiful. Yes, I can see Scottsdale also. Scottsdale blessings. Great. Understand I wanted to give My vision for Annalaya. When we eat, let us be authentic. When we feed others, let us be authentic. Don’t put rules when you feed others. Don’t pamper yourself when you feed yourself. Understand. We do completely opposite. When we feed ourself we pamper; when we feed others, we put all rules. I am giving a clear vision - how I wanted Annalayas functioning all over the world. Upanishad says very clearly, annam bahu kurvita. Let us create and share. Annam bahu kurvita – let us create and share.

[00:10:15]

It is a responsibility of all the disciples and followers of Nithyananda to create food and share with the world. Create and share. No hungry stomach can be denied food. Second - no place where there is no hunger, you can’t throw food. Means, you can’t throw food more than your hunger. Once hunger is over, you can’t dump the food inside your stomach or you can’t dump the food in the dustbin which does not have hunger… means no wastage. “annam bahu kurvita, Annam na nindyat tad vratam.” The literal translation is: Let us create and share and let us not waste food. This is authenticity. This is the vision I give for Annalayas. “annam bahu kurvita, Annam na nindyat tad vratam.” Let us create and share food. Let no hungry stomach be denied food. Let.. instead of telling in the negative, let us put it in the positive. Let all hungry stomach being fed and let us not waste the food by dropping it in the stomach which is not hungry or in the dustbin; outside or inside. That is being authentic with food. I wanted all our Annalayas to have this board which will be sent to you through email.

[00:12:32]

And I also feel just like our Masters used the food as a way to reach out to people… Palani just the panchamrutham reminds people; Tirupati just the laddu and ISCKON has successfully done this by reaching out to people just by their restaurants - Govinda restaurants. They run almost three thousand restaurants. Hats off to them for reaching out to the world just through their restaurant. And I request all our devotees, disciples very sincerely. Please understand. In all cities wherever we have committed disciples, devotees in all cities I wanted a place to be rented in the center of the city where you will have a restaurant giving food free. And a beautiful galleria selling our books, and the eN-galleria products and the library where they can sit and read and a small meditation hall where they can meditate and go. This kind of a center should evolve in all possible cities wherever we have temples and even the places where we can’t create temples immediately this can be started immediately.

[00:14:14]

And with authenticity, integrity, with the grace of Annapoorni, I am committing, I will fund it. Anybody who is ready to run please create the project plan and commit authentically, I am ready to fund. I am inviting applications from all over the world, any country, any city, any of our devotees, disciples can apply. We will start…. if you are already running a temple I request you to implement this project where people can come and have the food, sit in the meditation hall or just read the books, buy the books, whatever they want… the, our products eN-Galleria. Just through this way we will reach out to people. Understand it's My passion project. All the Niraharis… the Niraahaari team should start thinking about this. You should not be eating, but you should be sharing. When it comes to us, fasting is the ideal. When it comes to others, feasting is the ideal.

[00:15:55]

And one great Sadhu Shantananda Saraswathi - he was from Coimbatore. He made this system very successfully possible and he was running, even now his disciples are running. Swamiji has already attained Maha Samadhi. But his disciples are running; in Singapore they are running this Anna Lakshmi. Singapore center do you guys know that? Come on. Anyhow, I am alive. We can give, okay. I am alive we can give. All I wanted from you all is, just lend your hand to share and I am ready to fund. I am ready to fund; as long as I eat, I will fund. I will fund for this project only then I will eat. And I can. Annapurni’s grace is there on us, we can, we can. When are we going to start this in Bidadi tell Me? Hmm? Alright. So after Shivaratri I will start eating solid food; till then I will continue to be in nirahara. No! See when we started the Ashram, first thing I said, “We will start cooking here only when we can feed whoever comes; only then we will start our own cooking.” No, clearly publicize it, offering it as a service to the people. It is not done in that way, okay? Still near the temple it is not alive, active and you don’t tell the world you are available. Not only feeding, telling people it is available and making it happen.

[00:18:47]

Okay, you can discuss and tell. And how many of you guys' countries, cities feel courageous to take this step? Raise the hand. Thank you for St. Julien's. Bangalore you guys will plan.. see Bangalore Marathahalli you don’t need to worry about funding. I will give you the funding. I only want you guys to take up the responsibility. Understand. I will give you the funding. Thanks to Bangalore Marathahalli center. Thanks to St. Julien, France. St. Julien, France even if you guys want to do in South Africa, I am ready to fund. Sorry. Senegal, if you want to do it in Senegal also I am ready to fund. Blessings! And Charlotte guys are ready? Great, great, start doing it. And Charlotte, blessings. Atlanta is ready, blessings. Please understand. For this whole project any… you see… Charlotte, Atlanta all you guys, for this project I will completely fund you. I will fund it from the headquarters and whatever is deficiency, means you see when you run a Anna Mandir, in the initial level it will be... it will always be in deficiency. You may spend two hundred dollar but you will get only hundred dollar. So, I will fund whatever is deficient. And then when you are over flowing you will give it and start another one annalaya somewhere else. You will start funding for others.

[00:20:28]

Okay, all you guys agree with what I am saying? Please understand now I have a commitment from Charlollette, Atlanta, TV Malai, Vancouver, Tiruvannamalai, Vancouver, Toronto, Los Angelis, Australia. And Thanks to all you guys. In Hyderabad and Malaysia and Srilanka. Am I right? Umesh, Sri Lanka you are commiting in how many places? You will do it in Yalpanam or Batticaloa? Three places. And I commit with you, I will fund you. Anybody else? Ma, note down ma, note down now the Sri Lanka three places. Oman and Los Angeles and Tumkur, Tumkur. Great. Ma add Tumkur also. I will fund you guys. Understand? When it comes surplus you should share it with somebody else to start the new Annalaya. Got it? Shaivites… we shaivites have to share food with the world. That is our culture, that is our lifestyle, okay. Bangalore-Marathahalli, London-Kashi, Scottsdale, Sattur - Tamilnadu, so now Oman and Australia. Australia, Sydney? Where are we going to do it? Melbourne or Sydney? No, anywhere. Satroopini do you want to do it in Australia or London? If you put the hand [showing thumbs down] it is australia. If you put the hand this way (showing thumbs up) it is London; show Me the mudra.

[00:22:41]

So, all of you, now the cities send your project plan within next ten days to Bidadi. It will be immediately approved. And I tell you guys we should do it. We should do it. And [email protected] Annalaya, Vidyalaya, Vaidyalaya, Dhyanalaya and Jnanalaya. Jnanalaya is library; Dhyanalaya is meditation hall; Annalaya is sharing food and Vaidyalaya is sharing medical care; Vidyalaya sharing secular knowledge. Subject: Annalaya project. With that title please send this. Let Me read out the cities which have taken the responsibility. Would do you guys like to add the Bidadi to the name list or would you guys want Me to wait? So Annadata, you are committing? Stand up and commit only then... you are committing? Raise the hand and declare. Hm declare [Annadata declares] … as per Swamiji’s vision…done. And all annalayas will have a beautiful Meenakshi deity. Okay? And Vaigai will be the sacred river for us. So, wherever water filter machine is there you should name it as a Vaigai. And in all annlayas we will have Meenakshi deity, we will start making Meenakshi deity now. We will start making Meenakshi deity; we will have it in Pancha loha, because in stone if you install it you can’t remove. If it is our own place we will have it in stone or we will have it in pancha loka in all annalayas. Let’s rock. So, as on now we have commitments from 17 places. Bidadi, St-Julien, Charlotte, Atlanta, Thiruvannmali, Vancouver, Toronto, Los Angelees, Oman, Hyderabad, Sri-Lanka three places, Tumkur-Karnataka, Bangalore-Marathahalli, London-Kashi, Scottsdale-Arizona, Sattur-Tamil Nadu, Monterrey-Mexico, San-jose.

So, all these 30 should be up, alive and running, sharing food with people. Date... alright date each one of you commit within today, okay. By tomorrow satsang you guys should be able to commit the date for Me. Understand? Your commitment will be defined in place, date, time. All of you are clear? Hey actually this the first way you start the temple. This is the way you start sharing. San Diego, they are committing? Wow great. So, now we will have to work on… .eh accounts department you will have to cope up with, now how you are going to fund this whole project continuously. All over the world we should be able to do it. See when you have a temple you can just do it inside the temple. When you don’t have a temple only I am requesting to go to the city, have it in city.

[00:29:29]

They are committing? Who is committing? Okay Chennai is committing Thiruvottiyur. Paris is committing, okay hm. So, in all Annalayas from now onwards… oh Bangalore Nithyananda Vidyalaya is committing. Okay great. Two centers are committing. Beautiful and Dayamayi and Maharani will you be able to supply energy beads for all these centers? Will you be able to run your own infrastructure?

Oh that is also under you guys only. New York is committing, great, alright. Hey, did you speak to your colleagues, your co-devotees, brother disciples? Great. I am somehow feeling I am pushing it to make it as a thirty six; thirty six. Seattle is committing, okay, great. Ohio is committing. Have we reached thirty six? We already crossed thirty six.

[00:31:32]

Arrey, this is inspiration. When an incarnation wants at least this much we should be able to do it. And I tell you, it will only do good and anybody who takes this prasad along with the food, this great spiritual idea goes inside and it will work inside the system. Yes Romania, Morocco, Mumbai, Morocco, Mumbai. You can commit for Dallas, you will be able to manage it? No trying, you will make it happen? Declare. Declare. [Declaration done] as per Swamiji’s vision. Dallas is committed. Then? Puthukotai is committing.

[00:32:55]

(அவரு வீட்டிலே பண்ணிரன்றாரா? ஆங்… beautiful… இப்ப, அத கரெக்டா (Correctl) தனித்தனியா பிரிச்சிரனும். கிட்சன் (Kitchen), சர்வ் (Serve) பண்ணறதுக்கான இடம், பிப்பில் (People) தொடர்ந்து இருக்கனும், புரியுதா? அட்லிஸ்ட் டூ பிப்பில் (atleast two people) இரெண்டுபேர் அங்க இருக்கணும், அப்பதான் அத அட்னென் பண்ணமுடியும், ம்ம்ம்… .They should be hanging around continuously. So, யார் வந்தாலும்,whoever comes they should be… புரியுதா? பா நல்லா புரிஞ்சிக்கோ… சுத்தா…. கிலினா(clean) தமிழ்ல சொல்லு… யார் வந்தாலும் உணவு கொடுக்க முடியனும், ஒரு மெடிடேசன் ஆல் (hall) இருக்கனும், உக்காந்து மெடிடேட் பண்றதுக்கு, ஒரு லைபிரரி (Library) இருக்கணும உக்காந்து படிச்சிட்டு போறதுக்கு. கேலரியா (Galeria) வேணும், அவங்க வேலெக்கு வேணுன்னா வாங்கிட்டு போறதுக்கு. இந்த மாறி… whole system should be clear. Clear?

[00:33:52]

Adyaru, adyar center is committing. Arrey this is the way life should be. So, we should make this whole thing up and alive. Niraharis… I give this responsibility to all the Niraharis team, coordinated by Ma Nithya Devi. You make a beautiful website for this annalaya project. You not eating is enriching you, you feeding others is enriching others. God, Madagascar, Columbia, Togo Africa. Ma, they should make a very honest, authentic commitment, and make it happen. Okay, great, I am very happy. Now already we have crossed forty. Yes, we will make a beautiful website and share, go on sharing. I feel we should even have mobile annalayas wherever the festivals, utsavas, brahmotsavas are happening, congregation is happening, just like now we have a annalaya in Kumbha mela, thousands of people, hundreds of people everyday are eating in kumbha mela. Sameway we should have mobile annalayas wherever the big gathering, religious gatherings are happening; we should have four-five lorries going and staying and sharing food.

[00:35:57]

St. Louis is committing, great, thank you. And I tell you, Annapoorni’s grace is on us. She will shower. She will make this into reality. Mahadeva Himself gave money to Jnana Sambandar to do this Annalaya project. So, now we know when we do it, He will give us. Where are you committing? Ah, Hyderabad city you will do it? Great. Okay it’s a only one more project, do it great. I will fund it. I will fund no problem. See, including the advance, rent, alteration of the place, everything I will fund. You just need to authentically with integrity execute the project. Make sure money is not wasted and food is not wasted, make sure no wastage. Otherwise I am ready to fund. Redondo Beach is committing; great. So we have reached fifty annalayas. Now all you guys start… start. Phoenix is committing. Wow, great. Rasik Bhai is committing, blessings. Blessings to phoenix, great, let’s do it. This is the beautiful thing, so beautiful. I tell you guys, maximum I may need to fund six months. But I am assuring you I will fund till you were able to manage by yourself. I will fund. I am telling you maximum it will be only six months you may not need after that because trust the goodness of the people. You can either get Nithyananda out of them or Hitler out of them. It is you who is responsible for what you are getting out of the people. You can get God out of them or devil out of them. When you behave as god authentically you get god out of them. I tell you we may not need more than six months funding. By then you will be saying, “Swamiji I can now fund for two more annalyas.”

[00:39:02]

Annam Na Parischakshita - this is from the Taittiriya Upanishad means don’t waste food. Just like McDonalds we should become food supply chain but free of cost. Understand. Let people contribute; the whole world food is free, food is free - let’s make that as a lifestyle. Food is free, let us start. And I trust the goodness in human beings and I take the responsibility for their authenticity to make them authentic . We will do it and I can be sure we will be successful. How come Pondicherry is not committing? Houston is committing, great. Coimbatore has committed; Suresh has committed. Oh Chennai-Thandayarpettai is committing, great. Construction department - now you need to create guidelines. All Annalayaas should be of the same color and Meenakshi deity. I think even in stone if you don’t put the ashta bandhanam it’s okay. So, now you have to get, start procuring maximum number of Meenakshi deities in pancha loka and in stone because we will have to supply and make the prabhavali available. Hey, all annalayas should have Meenakshi deity and photographs of Nithyananda, Nindraseer nedumaran Nayanar and Mangayarkarasi. They gave the first land for the annadhanam in Madurai adheenam in our sampradaya. Nindraseer Nedumara Nayanar, the koon Pandiyan after being healed and Jnana Sambandar.

[00:42:01]

Great New York also committed. Anand Singh has sent an email, great, beautiful. Eh who will take the responsibility of making all these photographs available in email? So, that high resolution pictures are sent to them? Come on, who will take the responsibility? You will take the responsibility. See, understand, Swamiji’s picture, Nindraseer Nedumarana Nayanar, Mangayarkarasi, Jnana Sambandar, of course Meenakshi deity itself should be there, Sundareswarar photograph, Sundareswarar photograph, Sharada Devi, not Ramakrishna, Sharada Devi, as usual we have Sharada Devi and Annapoorni. Okay? We should have all these pictures - because all them were ideals of feeding others. Sundareswara just the picture; only Meenakshi Deity. Clear? You guys will see… how courageously we started taking the responsibility, you will see how big success this will become, by making, by making so many people integrated and authentic. Thousands will become authentic. We will teach people how to feed and how to be Nirahari both. Both we will teach people. We will enrich people in both the way.

[00:44:27]

No, no let us use the word annalya so that branding is established. People identify this place just for food. When they come for food they will have other facilities. But let it be called just as annalayas. Okay, all you guys are clear? This is what is taking responsibility. All you guys understand? Without even bothering, without even thinking twice, committing, I will fund. And I tell you, I know - when we start, we will bring so much of goodness from people, out of people. When you take the responsibility of authentically being good, you bring goodness out of people. I tell you, I may not need six months to make them self sufficient. How many of you feel already you can be self-sufficient? See, you may not need funding. Of course, I am taking the responsibility of funding till you become self-sufficient. After you become self-sufficient, you take the responsibility of starting new annalayas in more places. The chain of annalayas all over the world just like Mc Donalds… vegetarian annalayas.

[00:46:32]

I am feeling so fulfilled. Just feeling like had a feast. Stomach is full, heart is full, being is full. Sharing… sharing brings so much of joy. When you take it up with authenticity, it brings so much of joy. So as on now we are running in 54 annalayas. Am I right? 54 annlayas commitments. Eldams road responsibility? So, 55. So you think you will be able to have the people and run? But it should be run by volunteers heading, you can have staff. You can have workers or staff; should be headed by volunteers so that the money is not wasted or food is not wasted, run with authenticity. Ma, all this people, give them the Saturday-Sunday ASP for all these people who are going to be coordinating this project, so that they can come and learn these four tattvas of integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching. So that they ready to do this, they are prepared. If they already done this cruise inner awakening and had initiation with these tattvas, okay. Otherwise allow them for these two days inner awaken.. two days NDY - Nithya Dhyana Yoga. We will… yes, so that they reach it out.

[00:48:58]

Wow, what a beautiful morning! This is what is real good morning. Where we are already having 55 annalayas… 55 annalays. I tell you, show goodness to the world. Show goodness to the world, be authentically enriching, you will make goodness of the people express. You will make God appearing out of them. If you stand in the street, a guy who is walking in the street just give him a banana or food, he will not go without giving few rupee. Try to snatch his purse, he will not go without attacking. It’s we who are responsible for getting god or devil out of him. I think today My satsang is safal ho gaya. It has achieved its fruit. Satsang safal ho gaya. Ma, tell Nithyadevi to evolve a clear system like a guidelines how… Yes great, Rishi Daya worked in McDonalds. Hm Rishi Daya you worked in McDonalds as a manager? Then come up with a clear plan how the standardization can be done like a timing, the whole day it should be available. Night we may not need, but whole day it should be available; hygiene and everything standardize it. A very good quality food… if somebody comes to My house as a guest how I would like to treat them, that kind. You also worked in McDonalds? What place, what position? Oh then you will also have some idea how they standardize? So, standardize the same principles. Vegetarian that’s all. But standardize with the same principles and you can study the Govinda restaurants, how they run? I think they charge very minimum. But I don’t even want to do that. Just run.

[00:51:55]

Let’s see. Let’s trust the people. Let’s trust the people. It’s growing, where are we heading now? 55, great. We should be able to nicely man it and... see San Jose and all its nice.. place itself is very nice. San Jose, Los Angeles and San Jose, Los Angeles and all is in proper city center ma. Understand, its proper city center, if they do it in their temple that's enough. Toronto, it’s a city center. Toronto, San Jose, Los Angeles, all are city center. Seattle city center, hm Seattle is a right place next to Mayuri, My favourite restaurant. Psst. Whenever I go I never miss eating Mayuri. I get something from Mayuri and eat. Mayuri is the Indian restaurant in Seattle. Nice guys. Seattle and all is right placement. See, just a small restaurant I am able to remember because of food. People should be able to remember us like that for some reason. Your love, your authenticity, your enriching capability, your care. We should reach out. This is the way we should start.Then naturally we will be reaching it out.

[00:54:54]

Next, கமிட்(Commit) பண்றதா? Great, (சீர்காழி)Seerkazhi hey நம்ம ஊரப்பா… ஞானசம்மந்தர் பொறந்த ஊரப்பா..! Great in Seerkazhi so we are in 56. Snehamayi - restaurant means whoever comes feeding, giving food. That you can’t do…. go for the legal permission. Do whatever needs to be done legally; then have the annalaya. Ah annalaya is okay. Yes, yes, yes, but have the food permit and do the restaurant. You don’t need to charge. It is going to be giving free food. See, just like a church, all congregations have a right to serve the food you see. Go for that kind of permit. See annalaya and restaurant no difference. I am just using different word. There is no difference. Oh here that way it will not be. Annalaya. But I think we should be able to move to that next level. No, you don’t need to charge. We will not be charging. We are not going to charge. We are only asking, leaving the people to donate. Ma, we should go to the next level of even having certain menu, variety where people come and order and eat and go. At least some four-five varieties. See if somebody works on this and thinks through, comes up… the dosa and all you can make it and give immediately. You should just need to work out and variety rices - you can make it immediately and give. Just we need to put little brain into it. No, apply thinking. That’s all.

[00:57:45]

Authenticity can become reality. And don’t worry, with authenticity start sharing, enriching. We will only be showered. “Annam na parichaksheetaha” - add it. It’s so fulfilling to give, give and give, share, share and share. In 56 minutes we have made 56 annalayas. ☺ This is courage… and standing up, committing.

[00:59:02]

Wow, குமர கோவில் பண்றிங்களா? நா பண்ட்(fund) பண்றேன். ஆ… இங்க, ரெண்டுலேயும் பண்றிங்களா? ம்ச்ச, யம்மா.. இரண்டு ஆரம்பிச்சிங்கன்னா போதும், குமர கோவிலேயும், அப்பர்சாமி மடலத்துலேயும் பண்ணுங்க. ஏய்… Eh, add two more Tiruvannamalai. Sharing, sharing; now you will see how people will evolve with commitment and reciprocate the authenticity and all that. Kumarakovil.. குமரக் கோவில் அன்ட் அப்பர்சாமி மடம்.. (Kumarakovil and Apparsami matam). அப்பர்சாமி மடத்துல இந்த போட்டோ எல்லாம் வைக்க அலோவ்(allow) பண்ணுவாங்களா? ஒன்னும் ப்ரப்லம்(Poblem) இருக்காதா? நல்லது, பேசிருங்க… குமரக்கோவில ஒன்னும் ப்ரப்லம்(Poblem) இருக்காது, அது நம்ம எடம்… நல்லது பண்ணிருலாம்… Let’s do it. Great.

[01:00:25]

We should do it, we should do it. Daya – you may have to spend little time on aligning all their projects and taking it up and… This is the best way to enrich people. How many of you cities, you have confidence from day one you will be self-sustaining? Raise the hand you will be self-sustaining. No, you don’t need to be self sustaining, I will support you but whoever has the confidence, “I will be sustaining from day one.” Come on let Me … Ma, Hyderbahd city feels self sustaining and Singapore you will feel self sustaining and Los Angeles you will feel… ma mark all these. And Malaysia you feel self-sustaining? Ma Niranthara all five? Hyderabhad feels self sustaining, Toronto feels self-sustaining, Bidadi is self-sustaining. Ma Girija wants to take up these whole project. Great, Girija blessings! So, I bless you, you will lose weight and become healthy. This is My gift for you. Ma Girija you will become like Me. Ma Girija you will become like Me. Ma, come on let us mark, which are the cities ma… listen. Which are the cities have the confidence… even confidence to start with, even if they… see, their confidence does not mean day one they have to become self-sustaining. I am just seeing the confidence level. Vancouver and even Ohio says self-sustaining. Wow Hyderabad city feels self-sustaining.

And you have to make sure all volunteers who are going to man the annalaya are empowered with these four tattvas and they are able to empower whoever comes to them, enrich them with these four tattvas. Clear? Clear? Including the people who cook, wash the vessels, everybody, sweeping, everybody.

[01:07:51]

And yesterday also we did annadana, distributed warm clothes for more than five hundred homeless people in Ejipura slum Bangalore. It was such fulfilling and enriching experience to see the whale sangha stand united to take up this responsibility in such an integrated and authentic way. Ragasudha did it, took charge and Shuddha ran, there was a fire accident. Am I right or demolition? Hm demolition and it was so nice. I was always eN-visioning this. Now, so nice, it became reality, hmm so beautiful. As on now 62 annalayas. Understand, sharing the food is the first priority in this project. We will make everything available like a… there will be a small at least a hall for meditation, and the library for… even in the same meditation hall we can have a library. And we will… we should have a galleria. All these should be there. But sharing food is the first priority. Sharing food is the first priority. In the name of Meenakshi, share food. Prana, we should have a meeting now to cope up with this. The Construction department should come with a paint including the color everything. And the music department should come up with the keertans which should go on. And the incense stick, it should be jasmine smell. And the temple department, Sacred Arts should come up with the clear photographs and the deity with the prabhavali and the dress, jewels everything. And the organizing department the… Daya should come up with a clear how we are going to fund it. Each one should start a bank account and we should be able to transfer the money to them, all that infrastructure. And Ma Girija will be coordinating the whole thing. Rishi Girija do you have any objection if ma Girija comes into the headquarters for some time to coordinate? So, Ma Girija can come here to Bangalore and coordinate and make this whole thing happen by reminding everyone and executing it. Hmm, Coordinating all these departments. Clear? Ma Girija should manage the menu, recipe, training for cooks, volunteers and all that ma Girija should take care. And Ma Maneesha will take care - you are responsible for enriching people with these four tattvas and enriching people to enrich others with these four tattvas, clear? Done.

[01:11:41]

Library should have this basic literatures. Who will take the responsibility of procuring these books and sending it to all of them. Who, who will take the responsibility? All the publications of Nithyananda - Ma Supriya takes the responsibility. Jnanalaya, Ma Supriya and Achala also. Okay. Supriya and Achala takes the responsibility of establishing jnanalayas. Ma listen. All publications of Dhyanapeetam, and there should be DVD player with TV and all the DVDs available. They should be able to see the discourses. If possible, touchscreen so that it is user friendly. And all the flyers about our programs should be available. And the Encyclopedia of Hinduism. What ma? All volumes, the selected books of Ramana Maharishi, Ramakrishna, J.Krishnamurti, Osho, Deepak Chopra. God! From Seerkazhi to South Africa, Aminchikarai to America, Eldams to Dakota Dunes, Pondicherry to Paris in one frequency world is resonating. Hmm from… from Chidambaram to Seattle, Seerkazhi to Seattle, Madurai to San Jose. Already Prayag it is happening. Prayag to Ohio. Hey Ohio even you guys should do Kumbha Mela on that main snan day you should do kumbh mela in Ohio. Plan, plan on the main snan day you guys should gather people and at least sprinkle on that river on Ganga, Jamuna, Saraswati. Hey all you guys should know - in Ohio our ashram, we have two rivers coming and there is an under- current stream. So, that is why I named that river as, one as Ganga, another one as Yamuna and the under-current stream is coming. You can see the whirlpool there in the third stream. And Saraswathi. That is why I named Ohio as Prayag.

[01:15:11]

Thirunelveli taking the responsibility. God, so we are heading 68. Eh, it is really possible. Any of you think, “Oh, it is impossible. It is going overboard.”? It’s possible, doable, we can do it. You will see we can do it. Just you need enough hands to man it. That’s all. Nothing else. People who decide to enrich, that’s all. Eh, Ma Tejo the amrutha kalasa which is in the hands of Annapoorani should be the emblem, logo for Annalaya, okay. Amrutha Kalasa which is in the hands of Annapoorani, akshaya patra of Annapoorani should be the emblem for annalaya. What is that ER? ERP. Great, blessings, go ahead. So, akasahya patra which is in the hands of Annapoorani will be the emblem. Understand. Ma, let them commit, more and more people let them commit. End of the satsang I will announce the remaining names. Now let’s move to kathopanishad. [01:18:01] I also feel we should also have a mobile annalya, wherever we need to do the relief work and the religious gathering; we should go there, just some five lorry. And mobile kitchen fitted in the lorry. Who will take the responsibility of designing and making it? Designing and start getting the details. [One person commits] We will create a video documentary and present it to the world asking them to enrich us to enrich them. Yes. Hmm. Done. Ma, move to the Upanishads. Enlightenprise.

[01:19:55]

Now we will move to the Katha Upanishad with authenticity. Authenticity is the subject through the Katha Upanishad अन्यत् श्रेयः अन्यत् उत एव प्रेयः ते उभे नानार्थे पुरुषं सिनीतः । तयोः श्रेय आददानस्य साधु भवति हीयते अर्थात् य उ प्रेयो वृणीते ॥ 2.1 anyacchreyo’nyadutaiva preya- ste ubhe nānārthe puruṣam̐ sinītaḥ . tayoḥ śreya ādadānasya sādhu bhavati hīyate’rthādya u preyo vṛṇīte . Next, Yama says, “The good is one thing and the pleasant is another. These two, having different ends, bind a man. It is well with him who chooses the good. He who chooses the pleasant misses the true end.” This is where I stopped yesterday. Today let us see what Maha Kala, Lord of death Yama speaks in next verse – श्रेयः च प्रेयः च मनुष्यं एतः तौ संपरीत्य विविनक्ति धीरः । श्रेयः हि धीरः अभि प्रेयसः वृणीते प्रेयः मन्दः योग-क्षेमात् वृणीते ॥ 2.2 śreyaśca preyaśca manuṣyametaḥ tau samparītya vivinakti dhīraḥ . śreyo hi dhīro’bhi preyaso vṛṇīte preyo mando yogakṣemādvṛṇīte .. The good and the pleasant approach man; the wise examines both and discriminates between them. The wise prefers the good to the pleasant, but the foolish man chooses the pleasant through love of bodily pleasure.

[01:22:03]

Second chapter, second verse in Katha Upanishad. Yama is not mincing words. He is a strict guy. He can’t mince words and he doesn’t have patience like a Krishna. Krishna after all has His vested interest. Here Yama gives this as a boon. So he is very straight forward, short with the words. The good and the pleasant approach the man. The good and the pleasant approach man; the wise examines both and discriminates between them. The wise prefers the good to the pleasant, but the foolish man chooses the pleasant through love of bodily pleasure. Very clear; the good and the pleasant approach man, the wise examines both and discriminates between them – intelligent are those who discriminates between them which is authenticity - which is inauthenticity. The wise prefers the authenticity over the pleasant. The shreyascha, I will translate as authenticity. Shraddha and shreya both comes from the same root. The wise prefers the authenticity to the pleasant. But the foolish man chooses the pleasant through love of bodily pleasures, through love of bodily pleasures.

[01:24:15]

Every moment life presents a choice of authenticity and inauthenticity to you. It is you who need to choose what you need. Continuously life presents authentic and inauthentic both. Continuously life presents both the choices authentic and inauthentic; authentic and inauthentic. It is your responsibility, it is your responsibility please understand, your responsibility to choose authentic, to choose authenticity, to choose right. No one else can save you, no one else can save you. Listen, no one else, no other person, nobody else can save you. It is you who need to make the choice. I don’t want to comment on this verse in such a short time, there is so much to learn from this verse about authenticity. I will continue to expand on this in the next satsangs. Anyhow, today you may not have learnt much but you have started practicing much.

[01:26:34]

So, I will continue on this verse in tomorrow’s satsang. I will move to the next segment of the morning satsang – Dial the Avatar. <Banyan Tree meditation> Relax! You can open your eyes. I bless you all to become Niraharis. I bless you all who are sitting with us around the world at this moment 708 places through Nithyananda TV, 42 places two-way video conferencing having Nayana Deeksha, in 318 cities in 29 countries around the world. And we have some more annalayas been added. I will read out the list of people who have committed. Greensborough-Winston, Granada-Spain, Triad - North Carolina and Chennai – Porur, Tharamangalam, Tiruppur, Tiruchi, Ida Annavasal. So, we are in 76. I thought 36 should become double, now we have crossed more than double. Because 74 is 36 double, 72 we have crossed 76 today itself. Great. And all the people now who have committed for this annalaya, please stay back, we will have a meeting now. Plan and solidify the plans. I wanted whole thing to run, functioning up and alive as early as possible. Clear? No break… oh we will have to give a break, half an hour break, half and hour - forty minutes break for the people who have to eat. Yes I bless you all who are sitting with us all over the world. Let you all achieve, experience, live, express, radiate, share, explode and enrich with eternal bliss, Nithyananda. Thank you.
