Kundalini – the Macrocosm within the Microcosm

Kundalini – the Macrocosm within the Microcosm

Our understanding of Deeksha would be quite incomplete without a comprehensive grasp of Kundalini Awakening, which is the power and the purpose behind all Deekshas.

The Vedic world-view is shaped by the principle of the universal hologram, where the tiniest sub-atomic particle holds the key to the secrets of the entire Cosmos. A hologram is a complex structure wherein every part is a complete and faithful reflection of the Whole. As a fragment of this universal hologram, every individual is a perfect microcosm, a flawless and adequate representation of the Cosmos.

The Yajur Veda, a primary sacred text of the Vedic civilization, declares:

“Yatha pinde tatha brahmande, yatha brahmande tatha pinde”

As in the individual, so in the Cosmos, as in the Cosmos, so in the individual.

And what, indeed, is that mighty force which governs the Cosmos?

Vedic philosophy gave this divine feminine force the name KUNDALINI. Kundalini literally means ‘the coiled one’, meaning, the infinite untapped potential of the universe.

When Kundalini manifests at the universal level, she is known as Para Kundalini, the supreme power of the Cosmos. When she plays in the individual, she is Kula Kundalini, the gracious mother, the life-force that nourishes his body, the energy that empowers his mind, and the conscious power that guides him to his ultimate spiritual fulfillment.

Kundalini has found an honored place in every philosophic tradition of India – whether Yoga, Vedanta or Tantra. For millennia, Yogis, Rishis and Siddhas – the enlightened spiritual scientists of India – have given their lives to enrich the science of awakening Kundalini.

To understand kundalini, we must first understand ourselves. Through the human body flow 72,000 subtle energy channels called ‘naadis’. Of these channels, the most prominent is the Sushumna, which runs from the tip of the spine to the crown of the head. Running alongside the Sushumna on either side and criss-crossing it at intervals are the Ida and Pingala naadis. Kundalini energy or Shakti is said to ‘sleep’ in each of us in the Muladhara chakra, the energy center at the base of the spine. The goal of all Kundalini yoga is to awaken and guide this energy safely up the Sushumna naadi to the Sahasrara, the energy center on the crown of the head, where Paramashiva, or pure Consciousness resides. The blissful union of Energy and Consciousness, Parashakti and Paramashiva is Enlightenment, the culmination of all spiritual effort.

Kundalini – our own ultimate potential

Kundalini is known by many names – the universal energy, the great cosmic mother, the creative force of the universe. But the simple truth is that Kundalini is the highest potential of every individual, the ultimate expression of creative genius, the great possibility of each individual’s inner awakening.

The sleeping kundalini is a metaphor for the un-awakened potential inside us. Without first awakening the Kundalini, it is impossible to awaken the Pratyekatma Chaitanya, the individual consciousness.

The awakening of the Kundalini opens us up to the greater Reality that exists beyond our limited individual selves. It empowers us to harness the Cosmic powers to live more complete, fulfilled and blissful lives. It marks the rite of passage for the human to evolve into the Divine.

In the Yogini Tantra it is said :

As soon as the Kundalini awakens, the person’s inner grandeur and glory can be clearly perceived.

In the yoga-vedanta tradition, a vast and precise science encompassing thousands of techniques exists to awaken and utilize this enormous latent potential. In Vedic India, this knowledge was accessible to all. As a consequence, today’s ‘mystical’ sciences, like levitation, teleportation and telepathy were common knowledge among the people, and enlightenment was the natural state of being.

Living in complete harmony with the flow of Life itself, these people found joyous expression as creators and leaders in the outer world and enlightened mystics in the inner world.

In the course of time, our increasing reliance on the faculties of logic and reasoning led to the suppression of these mystical faculties, and this sacred science retreated from homes and monasteries into the few secret recesses of the yoga-vedanta tradition in the Indian sub-continent, where it is preserved in its authentic form to this day.

Paths to Kundalini Awakening

In the Kaivalya Pada of his Yoga Sutras, Patanjali lists the different ways to attain the siddhis resulting from the awakening of Kundalini.

Janma aushadhi mantra tapah samādhijāh siddhayah (4.1)

The mystical powers can happen by birth, or through medicines (drugs/ herbs), mantras, spiritual discipline or through Samadhi.

For the seeker, Kundalini can be awakened in different ways: through intense yogic practices lasting a lifetime or longer; through rare and sometimes dangerous medicinal preparations; through the tireless repetition of certain mantras; or through Deeksha – the direct transmission of spiritual energy by an awakened being. Of these, Deeksha is the most effortless (and certainly the most beautiful) way to awakening.

One can better appreciate the incomparable gift of Deeksha from the Avatar, when one learns about the spiritual effort otherwise necessary to purify the nadis and experience siddhis.

The right time is Now

The Vedic calendar reveals that our planet is poised for the next big leap in Consciousness. With humanity becoming ripe for transformation, what the world needs today is the compassionate presence of Avatars and enlightened kundalini adepts to guide humanity into a safe and natural global Kundalini Awakening.

The human body and brain are already wired to experience a complete Kundalini Awakening – and yet, in our generation, how many have the superbly trained body and mind that can withstand the rigours of such a powerful explosion of Consciousness?

That is why the first instance of Kundalini Awakening is always, ALWAYS a pure gift from the spiritual Guru.

He Guru has a triple responsibility: first, to stir awake the enormous spiritual power of Kundalini by the resonance-pressure of His own powerful superconscious vibrations; second, to guide this energy safely through the subtle neural pathways of the spine towards the disciple’s crown center, and above all, to shield and protect his fragile body and mind, that might otherwise almost certainly be devastated by this sudden influx of Cosmic force.

The Shiva Samhita declares:

Supta guruprasadena yatha jagarti kundali
Tatha sarvani padmanibhidyante granthayo’pi cha (4.12)

When the sleeping Kundalini is awakened by the Guru’s grace, Then are all bondages pierced (broken)

Ascent of Kundalini

When Kundalini ascends the spine through the Sushumna nadi (the main channel of subtle energy), it results in a huge energy influx into the brain. As it flows from the thalamus to the cortex, Kundalini sets up a powerful energy loop, awakening the latent, unused, non-mechanical parts in the brain, mainly the limbic system and the neo-cortex.

The limbic system is that part of the brain which is associated with memories linked to emotions. It is also that part of the brain which corresponds largely to the Third Eye or Ajna chakra, which is the 6th or the final chakra in the body (the 7th chakra known as the Sahasrara chakra or Brahmarandra is not exactly a chakra, but a subtle opening allowing the union of the Kundalini energy with the Cosmic energy). The opening of the Ajna chakra allows for the unclutching of memories from its associated emotions, allowing for ‘Completion’ or making peace with life.

With increasing levels of coherence, the whole brain comes alive, turning into a super-conductor of conscious energies that heal, empower and transform the person’s life. Enhanced awareness levels, greater creativity and extraordinary abilities start to express, like levitation, teleportation and materialization. This influx of superconscious energy also visibly reverses aging, and improves immunity to disease.

Kundalini is not just a blind force like electricity. It is a conscious spiritual power of cosmic proportions that knows where to go and what to do. Once awakened, Kundalini rips through millions of years of our human conditioning, firing brand new neurons in our brain, opening up unknown strands of our DNA, flooding us with superhuman energy, retracing our mental blueprint, wiping out our most obstinate karmic patterns, and catapulting us to a whole new level of existence. By awakening the Consciousness of each individual, Kundalini opens the doors to a global revolution of Consciousness.

SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam says:

Time and space does not bind Kundalini energy.
Time and space serve Kundalini energy.

For those of us who are merely watching, the extraordinary effects of Kundalini Awakening can seem like nothing short of a miracle – or a hoax.

But SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam says:

There are no miracles.
All miracles are perfectly scientific happenings, based on natural laws that we do not yet understand.

To awaken your Kundalini energy, you don’t need to have faith in me. It is not a prerequisite for me to awaken your Kundalini energy. Maybe, for you to retain the extraordinary experiences and expression of Kundalini energy, you may need to trust some of my words and practice some techniques and teachings, that’s all. Otherwise, faith is not a prerequisite at any level. Actually, nothing is a prerequisite! It is all just a casual play – a leela, that’s it!

Third Eye Awakening: Opening the Cosmic Command Center

Third Eye Awakening: Opening the Cosmic Command Center

The ancient Vedic tradition gave the name Ajna Chakra (the sixth chakra) to the Third Eye. In yogic literature, it is described as a subtle center of consciousness in the region between the eyebrows.

The word ‘ajna’ means ‘command’. The practice of meditation allows it to become the command center for the being, who receives instructions from Paramashiva Himself. It is also known as the command center because, once this chakra is activated, it gives the individual the power of clairvoyance, and the ability to control and influence the forces of Nature, as well as his own lower disposition

Ancient references to the Third Eye

Patanjali speaks on this power in his Yoga Sutras:

pravr̥tty-āloka-nyāsāt
sūkṣmā-vyāvahita-viprakr̥ṣṭa-jñānam ॥ 3.25॥

By redirecting the inner vision (one achieves) the knowledge of subtle, veiled and remote (objects and events).

The ancient Yogi Sri Goraksanath of the Nath Sampradaya of Shaivism refers to the Third Eye as ‘bhruchakra’ in his work, Goraksha Vachana Sangraha (‘bhru’ meaning the eyebrows).

It is described to be the size of a thumb (angushtha maatra) and appears like a steadily burning light (deepa shikhaakaara). It represents the eye of Enlightenment (jnana netra).

Shaastra Pramana

iccha jñānā kriyāśakti
traya netrayutam smaret |
candraḥ sarvajñātārūpaḥ
daśahatāḥ diśo daśa ||

His Three Eyes are to be remembered as symbolizing the three powers – Iccha, Jnana, Kriya – the power of Will, the power of Pure Wisdom, and the power of Cosmic Action. The moon crescent denotes Sarvajnāta, His power of all- knowing.

~ reveals Paramashiva in
Srimat Kamika Agama, purva pāda,
the primary Agama

Modern Neuroscience and the Third Eye

Based on the visible evidence of the effects of meditating on the Ajna Chakra, it is possible to postulate the neurophysiological pathways and structures involved in it.

Several studies have been done on the SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam, ranging from FMRI to PET Scan to qEEG. The studies clearly show continuous heightened activity in the infer-medial prefrontal cortex, and a simultaneous state of total restfulness with awareness across the entire brain, suggesting complete entrainment of neural activity.

Process of Third Eye Awakening

The process of activating the Third Eye as described by SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam includes:

Initiation or Deeksha

This is the process of directly transmitting the bio-energy (Kundalini energy of the Avatar) into the area of the Third Eye, located between the two eyebrows of the recipient.

Meditation

The meditation consists of visualizing a light or golden light within the third eye, which directly connects with the SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam’s third eye. Timed meditation is performed alternatively, with eyes closed and eyes opened for three rounds.

Meditation using a blindfold

The application of the blindfold completely cuts off any sensory inputs in the form of photons falling into the retina of the eye. In the outer world, the maximum sensory input is through the visual system. Meditating in the darkness of the blindfold on the third eye allows one to focus with minimal distraction, while simultaneously activating the pineal gland (which produces melatonin in darkness). Melatonin is responsible for re-adjusting the circadian rhythm of the body, and has significant anti-aging benefits.

Effects of Third Eye Awakening

• Blindfolded reading
• Enhanced intuition
• Increased IQ
• Ability to use all aspects of the brain’s potential
• Parakaya Pravesham – the ability to enter and understand the other being.
• Many other siddhis (mystical powers) as well as health benefits

Your Personal Door to the Cosmos

Third Eye is like a door to Cosmos. You can receive anything from the Cosmos though the Third Eye. Same way, you can send any command to the Cosmos through the Third Eye. Anything sent through the Third Eye to the Cosmos is immediately, immediately experienced! Third Eye is not just the brow center; it is the Browsing Center also! Just like how you can upload or download anything through the Internet world through an internet browsing center, through the Third Eye you can download and upload anything in the Cosmos. It is the Cosmic browsing center. Any Akashic Records can be downloaded by you when you open your Third Eye.

Bridging Physical and Mystical Worlds

Third Eye is the bridge between the physical world and psychic and cosmic space. All the extraordinary powers, psychic powers, are achieved through Third Eye Awakening. All the extraordinary powers are lived when your Third Eye is completely awakened. Understand: whatever you are seeing with these two eyes is not reality and not enough. Third Eye makes you see the higher reality externally in your day-to-day life, and internally in your life and death journey. Third Eye Awakening makes you immediately experience God.

The Third Eye is a direct bridge to God. Third Eye is not just an eye; it is the very source of your Consciousness. If you align your thinking based on the principle of Advaita, Oneness, all your energy will become centered on Third Eye, all your energy will become stable in your Third Eye. The functioning of your Third Eye will enter into the next frequency.

Destroy Karmic Patterns and Incompletions

The more you use the Third Eye, the more the patterns and engrams engraved in your brain will start getting completed, because you are continuously working with Consciousness. The more you use Consciousness, the more you become Consciousness. What we call karma is nothing but the deep-rooted unconscious patterns and incompletions which force you into a vicious cycle of fear, greed and pain for lifetimes. When you start using the powers of your Consciousness freely, the unconscious parts of your mind are brought under the light of your Consciousness, and they automatically dissolve, clearing the karmas.

Darshan: Face-to-Face with the Cosmos

Darshan: Face-to-Face with the Cosmos

The word ‘Darshan’ means ‘to have a glimpse of.’

Darshan is traditionally used to describe the moment when we behold a deity, an Avatar, a saint or an Enlightened Being.

The experience of Darshan is highly revered in the Vedic tradition, as just seeing such a being can cleanse the karmas of lifetimes, and create a deep and lasting transformation within the receiver.

Darshan is something far beyond mere physical ‘seeing’. Like many mystical Sanskrit words, it is a word that cannot be directly translated; but rather, it has to be experienced.

Darshan is ever-present

Darshan is actually the powerful superconscious vibration that is present around an Avatar at all times.

Although we usually speak of ‘getting’ the Darshan of an evolved soul, an Avatar does not actually ‘give’ Darshan – He simply radiates Darshan. Just as the sun continuously radiates light, whether anybody is present to receive it or not, the Avataric consciousness is forever radiating its graceful presence. The auspicious moment when each receiver is able to ‘catch it’ becomes the moment of Darshan for that individual.

Darshan can manifest in many forms

1. Physical – in the presence of an Enlightened Master or an Avatar

2. Physical – in the presence of an energized Deity

3. Perceptual – An intermediate level (between 2 & 3) would be the Darshan of the Ishtadevata or Deity in the form of the Master (e.g. people seeing Sai Baba or Meenakshi in Swamiji’s form). This is not directly perceiving, but using the existing form to project / perceive the desired form. It could be a mental projection which is the result of a deep yearning on the part of the devotee, or an actual vision granted by the Deity or saint, who makes himself available on the astral level.

4. Perceptual – in the form of a previous incarnation now no longer in the physical body e.g. Mahavatar Babaji.

5. Perceptual – in the form of the image of a Deity (Ishtadevata). Perception can happen in the waking, dream or meditative state.

6. An instantaneous and direct intuitive grasp of the formless consciousness – This is rare; it usually happens through the intervention of the Guru, or very rarely, spontaneously. This is called Anupaya.

Science of Energy Darshan

The breathing space of an Avatar is like an extension of His physical body. It is a living, healing energy field. A receptive devotee can momentarily experience the expanded space of the Avatar, or a Deity energized by Him. This allows the transmission of Cosmic energy into the devotee’s space. Infusion of this energy results in quantum entanglement, and causes the neurons of the devotee to mirror the space of perpetual completion radiating from the Avatar or energized Deity, at a biological level.

Mirror neurons are special neurons that can observe and mimic the actions of other neurons through imitation. But unlike classical imitation, mirror neurons can activate and process all the observed movements or information without the physical act of imitation. That is, the entire body can silently and without movement, recreate what is happening elsewhere, through a process of direct observation. This is what happens during Darshan as well as Deeksha.

SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam says:

“When you come in my breathing space, suddenly, your mind gets entangled with my no-mind. Entanglement is only in the thought level. If your muscle-memory gets entangled with my muscle-memory, it is called entrainment. And if your bio-memory gets entangled with my bio-memory, it becomes enlightenment. Entanglement becomes entrainment and entrainment becomes enlightenment.”

Entanglement, Entrainment, Enlightenment

The science of quantum entanglement, entrainment and enlightenment can be elucidated further

Entanglement

In physics, quantum entanglement usually occurs between energetic subatomic particles.

A thought is nothing but a small packet of energy released by the cells in the form of subatomic particles. Scientifically, the thought free space of an Avatar would be filled with virtual particles, unlike that of a thought-ful human mind.

The absence of thoughts in the Avatar would not allow entanglement to be transferred from the thought energy of the devotee into the Avatar’s mind. On the other hand, due to the high energy of the Avatar, the virtual particles having no thought patterns would rush to fill the space of the devotee, entangling with the devotee’s thought particles and creating entangled virtual particles in the devotee, leading to a temporary no-mind state. During quantum entanglement, the entangled particles acquire oneness in action, irrespective of their separation in space. This is what Albert Einstein termed ‘spooky action at a distance’, and it offers an explanation for the phenomenon of long-distance healing by the Avatar.

Entrainment

Darshan also has lasting effects, because the quantum correlation between the two systems (ie. the Avatar and the disciple) survives their separation in time as well as space. So the Avatar’s space continues to influence the disciple’s space for an extended period after darshan. This would explain the delayed effects of darshan recorded in certain devotees, who continue to experience an accelerated speed of healing of diseases for weeks or sometimes months following a single darshan.

Enlightenment

At the tiniest of biological levels, which are molecular or sub-molecular, energy is stored and transmitted in the form of the life force called the biological energy. An Avatar, being a pure expression of Cosmic energy, His very core physiology is different at the genetic level from that of a normal person. Transmission of the Avatar’s bio-energy into the disciple effects the fundamental physiological changes necessary for the disciple to experience the state of Enlightenment.

How to receive Darshan

The important thing in Darshan is not ‘what to do’, but ‘how to be’. As mentioned earlier, Darshan cannot be given, but it may be ‘drawn’ from the Source by the receiver, by tuning into this superconscious vibration.

Darshan is a powerful cleansing process that brings up the unconscious mind to the receiver’s conscious scrutiny. The intense vibration of Darshan causes the hidden layers of the unconscious to erupt, releasing both physical and psychic blocks in the receiver’s system and cutting through the layers of unconscious negative patterns built up over lifetimes. His physiology can actually change in the presence of the Cosmic Consciousness, and his bio-memory effortlessly ‘learns’ the expression of enlightenment.

For the receiver who is ready, darshan can be the moment of permanent and irreversible transformation.

Darshan in SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam’s words:

The SPH always says, ‘Darshan is the enlightenment technique for lazy people!’

Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa says beautifully, ‘If you want to scare away some birds sitting on a tree, you don’t have to do it one by one. Just clap loudly once, and all the birds on the tree will fly away.’

In the same way, in the Master’s presence you don’t have to work on your samskaras (engraved memories) one by one. You don’t have to work so hard! The Master’s powerful Darshan is the one ‘clap’ that can destroy all your samskaras once and for all!

Preparation for Darshan

The Darshanopanishad, which is part of the Sama Veda, clearly spells out the preparation a devotee can make to get the maximum out of Darshan:

Tapas – Spiritual discipline
Santosha – Completion
Astikya – Conviction in the existence of the Divine
Dana – Benevolence towards all
Ishvara Pujana – Gratitude to the Divine
Siddhanta Shravana- Listening to the Truth
Hri – Humility
Mati – Faith built on conviction
Japa – Constant remembrance of the Divine

In fact, this space of approaching Darshan is akin to an ‘internal Tirtha’ (pilgrimage), which is far superior to the ‘external Tirtha’. Darshan serves as a conduit for the constant inflow of Cosmic energy, allowing one to maintain continuous awareness in all the states of being – wakefulness, dream state, deep sleep and beyond. Once Darshan has become a complete initiation within the receiver, it is possible to receive Darshan in any of these states.

Darshan in Large Congregations

Large congregations influenced by the presence of Avatars or saints, or massive events like the Kumbh Mela (the largest spiritual congregation on the planet) open up the space of the seeker or devotee due to the highly charged atmosphere and the mirror neuron effect happening on millions of people at the same time.

SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam describes this phenomenon:

The Master is like a radiating light. Your body and mind is like a mirror. When you sit in an unclutched way in the Master’s presence, all your bodies and minds become mirrors reflecting the Master’s Consciousness. They get focused like laser beams, aligned and polarized towards the Master’s Consciousness. So his bio-energy is simply transmitted into you. Your body becomes light and just flows in the ether.

If you keep five such mirrors in front of a single light, the illumination is going to be five-fold, because five mirrors are reflecting the light, and the whole area is lit intensely. Now, if 10,000 mirrors are kept in front of the same light, can you even imagine what will happen?

In the same way, when 10,000 people sit in the Master’s presence in an unclutched space, the same Superconsciousness is reflected 10,000-fold, and an intense Superconscious energy field is created. If 10,000 bodies and minds focus themselves on the Master’s Consciousness, it becomes equivalent to 10,000 Enlightened beings sitting in Samadhi. This is what I call creating Shambhala on planet Earth!

Deeksha changes Gene Expression

The human genome has been sequenced, and it is now established that all humans have approximately 25,000 – 30,000 genes.

A gene is the fundamental blueprint of a living organism, which can encode several proteins and signaling pathways for life to exist and continue. At any given time, only 10,000 genes are expressed (operational) in normal life.

It has been shown that during the Inner Awakening initiations, the gene expression changes to such an extent that the genes which cause an increase in energy, stem cell count and health are up-regulated, while those that are harmful, such as genes causing cancer and autoimmune disorders, are down-regulated in all participants. This is the visible effect of the bio-energy of the Avatar’s Deeksha transforming the bio-memory of the disciple.

SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam says:

“Deeksha is like an intense downloading into you. When your DNA is activated, the knowledge, consciousness and information contained in the macrcosmic bio-energy can be effortlessly transmitted to you without any conventional methods. With every new strand awakened, you start experiencing many things, such as freedom from negative engrams, intellectual and spiritual clarity, physical health, anti-aging and extraordinary powers.”

Significance of Deeksha from a Living Master

Deeksha is revered in the Vedic tradition as the ultimate gift that a Master can confer upon his disciple.

In the ancient Hindu text, Rudrayamala Tantra, Lord Shiva says:

“The one who is not initiated does not attain liberation nor a better future. So by all efforts, one should get initiated by Guru. “

Only from a fire can another fire be lit; Only from a living Master can the transmission of the lamp happen! A Master who exists on the subtle plane may be able to offer the disciple spiritual guidance, but for the experience to settle in him as a physical reality, it has to be transmitted from a body which is vibrating at the higher frequency. Only the already reprogrammed DNA of the living Master can transmit that frequency and reprogram his DNA. Only a living bio-memory can share its experience directly with the disciple’s, through a look, a word or a touch of initiation.

When the disciple melts down and sits with a deep trust, the connection between him and the Master happens – this is Deeksha. When a sincere seeker or disciple sits in a deep, relaxed mood, not only does the Guru come alive with the disciple, but the disciple also comes alive with the Guru. Both experience fulfillment, and the transmission of the lamp happens automatically. This is Deeksha.

Mahashivaratri: The time He manifested from timelessness into time

Mahashivaratri: The time He manifested from timelessness into time

This Shivaratri is observed, celebrated, to celebrate My manifestation from Nishkala Svarupa and everything that exists. From My pure formlessness, unclutched Nishkala Svarupa space, I manifested and continue to manifest everything that exists. Nirvikalpa, Niranjana, Nirakara, Nishkala Svarupa, from that space I manifested as everything that exists. This manifestation is the Lingodbhava in Arunachala. This is the day again and again I am intensely available for every one of you to experience the State of Paramashiva.

Tonight is the night when Divine revealed itself and elevated all the beings to its level.

Shivaratri, Mahashivaratri, this is the time I manifested from timelessness into time. So this is the beginning of time. This is the beginning of form. From My formlessness, I manifested as form. From My timelessness, I manifested as time. So this is the beginning of everything that exists. My creation aspect – Srishti – the manifestation aspect. My maintenance dimension – Sthiti – sustenance dimension of this whole Universe. And My rejuvenation dimension – destruction or rejuvenation dimension. This destruction and rejuvenation continuously happens in everything, in everyone. That is the way life functions. All the great transformation in you happens when you understand this destruction and rejuvenation is the best form of existence.

Many time due to your delusion, you make wrong decisions. You accumulate wrong things which you don’t need. You accumulate wrong qualities which you don’t need. You accumulate wrong people you don’t need. You accumulate wrong contract you don’t need to maintain. For your manifestation of the ultimate reality, many things which you don’t need, you accumulate. Through My power of destruction and rejuvenation, I continuously liberate you. I continuously facilitate your liberation. Many times you accumulate relationships with wrong contract, wrong understandings, destructive mental patterns; I intervene at those moments through My rejuvenation power and destruction power. I liberate you all from unnecessarily accumulated desires, unnecessarily accumulated relationships, unnecessarily accumulated contracts, unnecessarily accumulated diseases in the body, in the mind. Anything which you accumulated which is not necessary for your ultimate manifestation of Paramashiva, I Myself use the power of rejuvenation and destruction and liberate all of you. So never be afraid of My rejuvenation power, My destruction power. Start celebrating, cherishing, enjoying even, My destruction, My rejuvenation power.

The fourth dimension of Me is putting into delusion and pulling out of delusion. Many time when you can’t handle the reality as it is, when you are not ready to be in that highest awareness space, some things are kept out of your sight to reduce the stress for you, to give you space to cope with the reality. So My power of rejuvenation and My power to put you into delusion and liberate – both work hand in hand. When you are not ready to go through the transformation you need to go through, when some parts of you need to be purified, when you need to be purified, when important, unavoidable surgeries need to be performed on you to remove the cancerous tumors which you accumulated, and when you are not able to handle the pain of the surgery – Trobhava – delusion is used to make you forget the surgery happening. Once the surgery is done, you are free. You are pulled out of delusion. My destruction power and rejuvenation power – Samhara power and My Trobhava – putting into delusion and pulling out of delusion are all My extreme compassion. All these happen due to My extreme compassion.

Then the fifth dimension of Me is liberation. Liberating you and manifesting Me in you fully, forever. Srishti – creation. Sthiti – maintenance. Samhara – destruction and rejuvenation. And Trobhava – putting into delusion or pulling out of delusion. And Anugraha – liberation. I Myself do all these five as this Universe, in this Universe, for this Universe. In each dimension of Me – Srishti, Sthiti, Samhara, Trobhava, Anugraha – creation, maintenance, rejuvenation and destruction, delusion and pulling out of delusion, and liberation, I play in all these five dimensions. Inside the creation, I create creation space and I sustain the creation space and I rejuvenate the creation’s space. I put the creation’s space into delusion and pull it out and I liberate the creation space.

Significance of Karthigai Deepam Festival

Significance of Karthigai Deepam Festival

On this auspicious day, Paramashiva appeared as Jyotirlinga, Lingodbhava in Arunachala. The place where this happened is Arunachala. And today is the day Paramashiva gives Parashakti, the internal space in himself, becomes Ardhanarishvara. Beautiful, wonderful happenings happened on this day. Listen to the story. The story has too much significance. Listen. Brahma is the creator. Not creation principle. Creator created, manifested from the creation principle of Paramashiva. Sadashiva’s five heads: from one head the creation principle manifests as Brahma. And from Brahma creation happens. Same way Vishnu manifest. From Vishnu: sustenance, and maintenance happens.

The creation and sustenance deludes themselves that they both are ultimate. The next level delusion starts, between them who is great.

Unfortunately, these creation and maintenance is such … attention drawing colourful action. Listen. Attention drawing colourful action, they delude themself they are the, they both are the ultimate. Understand. The creation and sustenance deludes themselves that they both are ultimate. The next level delusion starts, between them who is great. The layers of delusion. The knowledge and wealth: knowledge is required for creation and wealth is required for maintenance. They both start feeling both are ultimate. The funny thing is the second level delusion is, they both start fighting between each other who is more ultimate who is more powerful. Naturally Paramashiva has to intervene to make them understand, … liberate them from the delusion. Neither creation nor sustenance is ultimate. Ultimate is liberation. He liberates both of them from the delusions. He pulls both of them out of delusion and liberates them.

The moment Paramashiva appears as Jyotirlinga, … He tells Brahma and Vishnu, whoever finds his head or feet … will be the winner, will be declared as supreme. Brahma immediately become swan and flies towards the head. This a very significant story. Brahma takes the form of swan. Swan always lives in lotus. He should have gone to find the lotus feet. And Vishnu takes the form of varaha, pig and that always lives in the forest. He should have gone to find the jata which is forest. But delusion diverts them absolutely even in their choice. They are so deluded, the swan goes to the forest and pig goes to the lotus. Feet is lotus feet. Head is jata – aranya (अरण्य, araṇya), forest. Anyhow both of them could not find. Vishnu goes for yugas digging Patala, Atala, Vitala, Sutala, Talatala, Patala. Even then reached only calf muscle. To mark the place where he reached, he puts his neck bell. That is why in all Shiva deity, you will see calf muscle there will be one bell. In the right leg calf muscle, the bell was put by Vishnu. That is the level he travelled till his whole lifetime.

Brahma takes the form of swan and flies, flies, flies, flies almost his age is over. Then he finds that he could not find. He sees a flower falling. He asked, “From where are you falling?” The flower says, “I am falling from the ears of Paramashiva.” “Oh God! From ears you are coming down then I am not even reach the ears. What about reaching the head?” And Brahma asked, “How long you are coming down?” “Oh, I am falling for four Brahmas age.” Four Brahmas age. Chatur Brahma ayush paryantam. “Four Brahmas age I am falling.” Then Brahma decides, “Okay. What can I do?” But then always this knowledge has its own ego. It cannot accept defeat. And … Brahma asked that flower, “Can you … just support me that I brought you from the head of Paramashiva, and I’ll give you lot of boons.” The flower got little tempted. Eh, all false witnesses understand. And then okay, Brahma goes and tell lies to Paramashiva that, “I saw Your head and this is the witness.” And of course Paramashiva knows and then He … the moment He stares at Brahma and that flower, both shiver and wither away. All Brahma’s feathers fall. And … the false witness said, “No, no, no, no, no, he did not pick me up. I was falling and he caught me and brought me.”

Brahma gets the curse he will never be worshipped anymore on planet earth in the individual temple and that flower gets cursed, will never be used for Shiva Puja – Thazhampoo (Thalampoo). Then Brahma does tapas. After the tapas, ask for forgivens, ask for, asked to be apologized and begs Paramashiva. Paramashiva always that eternal compassion. He says, “Alright, you will have a place in all My temples in north facing, where the … Abhishek Tirtha – the bathing, sacred bathing water of Paramashiva comes in that gomukham he will be there in that water, he can create the Universe. That is the water – Mantra Tirtha, he uses for creation. And he is given a permanent place and the Thazhampoo (Thalampoo) was given a shapa vimochana, that once a year on Shivaratri Day … for puja, Thazhampoo (Thalampoo) will be accepted. Only that, for that puja, Shiva Puja it will be used, not otherwise. No other time. Even now in Tiruvannamalai Temple, only on Shivaratri Day, the Lingodbhava will be worship with that Thazhampoo (Thalampoo). Otherwise it will never be used for Shiva Puja.

knowledge and wealth cannot show you the ultimate and it is not ultimate. Enlightenment alone is ultimate.

It has lot of significance you need to understand. The deeper layer and meaning … knowledge and wealth cannot show you the ultimate and it is not ultimate. Enlightenment alone is ultimate. Understand. I always tell people, sangha are your personal life. Is not built on … the knowledge we have or the money we have. No! Whether your personal life or sangha or everything – is not built on knowledge or money, please understand! It is built on absolute integrity, Paramashiva. Pure powerfulness, love, integrity, enlightenment. Listen deeply. Whenever … you get deluded, your ability to create and your ability to maintain is the success of your life. You are absolutely deluded, even a small shake, you will just collapse, tumble down. Understand! Your ability to create or ability to maintain is not your power. Your ability to stand all the shakes and any destruction attempt, that is your power.
