Bhava Samadhi Darshan is the Science of Manifesting The Divine. It is a direct experience of causeless bliss. To fulfil the longing of the devotees, an incarnation allows all the divine energies to manifest  through His body. Various enlightened masters like Chiatanya, Sri Ramakrishna, Anandamoyee Ma have expressed bhaava darshan to guide people towards enlightenment. Bhava Samadhi Darshan is not an event in space and time. Rather, darshan happens at the moment when we are lifted out of space and time.

Bhagavan Krishna Describes Bhava Samadhi Darshan

परिकलित पुर्वौ कस् चमत्कर करि स्फुरति मम गरियन् एस मधुर्य पुरौ अयम् अहम् अपि हन्त प्रेक्स्य यम् लुब्ध चेतौ सरभसम् उपभोक्तुम् कमये रधिकेव ~ दर्पनद्ये देखि यदि अपन मधुरि; अस्वदिते लोभ होय् अस्वदिते नरि विचर कोरिये यदि अस्वद उपय; रधिक स्वरुप होइते तबे मोने धय 

When Krishna once saw His own extraordinary sweetness reflected in a jewelled wall, He was amazed and said: “How unprecedented and astonishing is this deep and indescribable sweetness of Mine! Alas! When I see it, even I become greedy to enjoy its sweetness, just like Radhika! “When I see My own sweetness in the mirror, I become eager to taste it, but I can’t. After due consideration, I find that the only way to relish this sweetness is through the constitution of Sri Radhika.” 

~ Chaitanya Caritamrta adi ch. 4

• Paramashiva states that ‘He created Himself as many to enjoy Himself.’ As the present living incarnation of Paramashiva, The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism has opened what was once an exclusive session , now made public to the world for the sole purpose of initiating whole of humanity at once, in large numbers into the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva through Hinduism’s most powerful process – Bhava Samadhi Darshan. 

  During Bhava Samadhi Darshan, as microcosm (Pindanda), we mirror the neurons of the macrocosm (Brahmanda) intensely. The inner potential energy (Kundalini) floods through the brain immensely. We know this to be the awakening of non mechanical parts of the brain or otherwise simply referred to as “whole brain awakening.” All simply through Darshan! Wow.

Gratitude. 

• Gratitude to yourself for your existence on Planet Earth till today. 
• Gratitude to your loved ones for having you and being with you through thick and thin. 
• Gratitude to the world for all it has done for us – realised, unrealised. 
• Gratitude to the moveable and immoveable objects/persons in your life. 

If you are already connected to The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism as your Guru, gratitude towards the Guru during Bhava Samadhi Darshan is by mere remembrance! 

If you are yet to be connected, worry not! With immense gratitude in that moment for everything in life, gratitude towards Paramashiva and the living incarnation of Paramashiva will be an added gift to your basket! Gratitude for the Guru is indeed blessing of janmas all together.

What is Naivedyam

In Hinduism, a sacred meal (naivedyam) is a personal offering of every individual with their chosen deity (Ishta Devata). Devotees are encouraged to personally prepare organic sattvic vegetarian food items and offered to Bhagavan Kalabhairava manifesting through The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism, Jagatguru Mahasannidhanam, His Divine Holiness Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam. 

Darshan is a superconscious atomic energy exploding at that time of Darshan. Auspiciousness in health mentally and physically, completion with karma related to wealth, abundance, prosperity, healing and fulfilling relationships are natural by product in the life of one who has received Darshan of the living incarnation of Paramashiva. 

At the time of Darshan, the food offered as Naivedyam becomes sacred consecrated food (Prasadam). Hindu temples around the world are known for distributing only  prasadam as part of their food bank not because of moral value , but the immense healing properties in the prasadam which will do collective good to mankind of the society, city and country who is consuming the prasadam.

Shrikailasa Uniting Nations for Nutritious Food and Hunger Free World, in collaboration with Shrikailasa Uniting Nations for Ancient Sciences invite and encourage you to be part of KAILASA’s Nithyananda Annalaya (Food Bank) by sharing the prasadam offered to Bhagavan Kalabhairava today to people in your area. On behalf of KAILASA’s Department of Human Services, we thank you in advance for your contribution. We request you to please kindly fill this form (http://tiny.cc/fooddonation) which would enable us to mark your contribution as part of KAILASA’s History.

SAGE VAIKHANASA FORUMULATED NAIVEDYAM FOR LORD VENKATESWARA

According to legendary when Lord Vishnu decided to descend to Earth in Archa form as Lord Venkateswara, He commissioned Sage Vaikhanasa to prepare ancient religious texts called Agama Shastras.

Sage Vikhanasa forumulated Vaikhanasa Agama and prescribed the tenets which are being followed even today in all the major srivaishnavaite temples which includes types of “Naivedyam” also.

NAIVEDYAM RENDERED TO LORD AS PER AGAMA TENETS

The traditional process of offering Naivedyam to Lord Venkateswara is continued even today as per the tenets of Vaikhanasa Agama without any deviation.

After Mantrasanam(awakening lord by chanting mantras), the Snanasanam (the celestial bath) and Yatrasanam (conducting Durbar) are performed as part of the Archana in Tirumala temple every day. Now it is the time for offering food to the Lord and this ritual is called Bhojyasanam and the offering is called ‘Naivedyam’. The food offering is a process that is guided by strict procedures, preparations and timings.

Vaikhanasa Agama Shastra prescribes the vessels to cook are to be made of gold, silver, copper or earthen pots. The fire for cooking is to be brought from the Yagasala– the place where all the everyday fire rituals are performed within the temple. The fuel for the fire must come from a Mango tree or Ashwatha or Palasa.

BhOjyAsanam
After alankArAsanam, five upachArams are offered:
(1) Madhuparkam
(2) Havis nivEdhanam
(3) Paaneyam to accompany the food presented
(4) Homam and
(5) TaambhUlam

List of Naivedyam items offered to Lord Venkateshwara:

• Pongali: Sweet Rice
• Pulihora: Rice dresses with acid sauce of Tamarind
• Chakkera Pongali:  A savoury mixture of rice, split pulse, spices and sugar
• Dadhyodanam: Pudding of curd, rice, spices with salt
