Books / Guru Gita

1. Guru Gita

When Master Happens In Our Lives, Nothing Else Is Needed. If He Does Not Happen, Nothing Else Is Of Use.

Over the world, I have seen so many cultures; so many ideologies, so many social systems. There is so much calamity, so much depression globally; these are global problems, at root level. People are doing research to create a new social system to get over these problems, to minimize these problems. They find that Hindu society is the most stable. It has withstood many upheavals, political slavery, cultural invasions, every possible problem, and still alive more or less the way it was created millions of years ago. Depression and similar ailments on a percentage of population basis are negligible.

All this is the result of over 10,000 year of recorded R&D in the inner world, in the laboratories of temples and ashrams, by scientists, the Rishis and Sadhus, who enriched us with this Vedic culture (add about Sanatana dharma here). Hindus are respected world over and wanted for their confidence, honesty and low levels of depression. Their dhārmic level is high.

In the Hindu gurukul system, till a person is mature he is given protection; this gives maturity. Till 21 a student is given a manual of do's and don'ts. But slaves are not given opportunities to become Masters. These students have the possibility.

We enjoy the gifts of this system; music, food, medicine, dance, and many more things apart from spiritual progress. These are the gifts of the great Masters, fruits of their R&D.; fruits of their enriching sacrifice.

Let us express gratitude to Guru-Paramparā lineage for creating, developing and keeping this Vedic system alive, this Sanātana Dharma tradition alive. By their grace, millions have become enlightened. I never thought I would. I did because of their grace, not because of any penances I did. They wanted their tradition to be alive. They pick up the best of what is available as candidates. This culture, this vedic culture must live on. If it dies Planet Earth will disappear.

I have studied so many systems. They offer either no freedom or too much freedom with no maturity. They did in dilemmas. I give my disciples freedom, if they wish, as a punishment. In the spiritual path, one may look like a slave, but you do not know the joy. When I got enlightened I lost my freedom. I cannot even move my little finger on my own; but I got bliss, bliss of slavery to the Universe.

It is time to express our devotion, in gratitude for creating this culture, this social ideology. Just because of these Masters this Vedic culture is alive. Life still exists on Planet earth. Otherwise it would have been wiped out by power hungry politicians; because the Masters preached spirituality and created these systems, we still exist.

Try and inspire your educated son to attend a meditation program. Then you will realize the difficulties these Masters would have had in making this culture survive through thousands of generations, starting from Mahādeva Himself.

These great Masters have inspired millions by creating, developing, and transmitting for many thousand generations, conveying their knowledge clearly. If you observe a single temple in South Bharat you will understand. Each took hundreds of years to complete, 500 to 600 years; 30 generations or more. No architect or sthapati could work for more than 20 years working on stone. 30 generations of sthapati understanding the Master plan and executing, knowing fully well that he will not live to see the end product. They were not fools, they were inspired.

These Masters inspired people like this to work on projects; they inspired Kings and noble men to donate to these enriching causes; they built hundreds of thousands of such temples. In Bharat there are over 11 million temples where daily rituals are conducted, and over 90 million where such rituals are not regular.

It is time for us to remember these great Masters, remember all of them, remember the Guru-Paramparā for the wonderful philosophy they handed down, and the great way of life.

Master is a channel to bring wisdom to your life and to update it, according to your need.

In the body where there is no 'I', then whatever is said is mantra; whatever is done is tantra; whatever path is taken is yantra.

If you receive these words in silence and in prayer, you will experience. If you are a superficial person you feel I am just talking. If you are a devotee you realize I am doing alchemy; if you are a disciple, you know that no one is speaking, this throne is empty, words are coming from somewhere.

Creation is one, words are two. When one is enlightened one speaks for enriching the world to cause their Enlightenment. When you start enriching others, you are traveling towards yourself. Experience and expression are not different. When you experience you express; when you express you travel towards the experience. In enriching, start expressing compassion. Imitate the Master. You will travel towards experience; towards enlightenment. Enriching is the path to enlightenment; it is a part of enlightenment.

Seekers who do not serve and enrich are caught in ego. To enrich you have to relate and reach out to the world. Your tumors will be exposed. If you decide not to enrich, you escape into your incompletions; no method to find out your incompletions. Tyaga, sacrifice, will show what tumors you have; what depths you have reached. To enrich human beings you need to be perfect; you need intelligence, you need completion.

Giving our gratitude to Master is to strengthen our commitment to the dharma of Completion, Enriching. It is not worship with 100 namsakaras (prostrations), that will give you only back pain and knee pain. Committing your trust to strengthen the Master's mission, the Sangha is the only way to express your gratitude to the Guru.

Let you all understand, stand up and take responsibility; that is the only way to show respect to the Vedic system and lifestyle.

CHAPTER 1

A. Mystery Of Mysteries

  • a. The Prayers of the sages to Śri Suta for revealing GURUSVARUPAM (2-6 verses)
  • b. Listening to the Mystery of Mysteries

Chapter 1 || PrathamodhyāYa

acintyāvyakta-rupāya nirguṇāya guṇātmane | samasta jagadādhāra murtaye brahmaṇe namaḥ || 1 ||

  1. I Surrender onto the form of Brahman, the Unthinkable, the Unmanifest, beyond the attributes or guṇas (sattva, rajas, tamas), yet the Self of the guṇas, the supporting substance behind the whole manifested Universe.

ṛṣIaya Uvacuḥ || SūTa SūTa MahaprāJñA NigamāGampāRag | Gurusvarupam-AsmāKaṁ BrūHi SarvamalāPaham || 2

  1. The Sages said: O Sūta, the great wise one, O Sūta, who has acquired thorough mastery over the nigamas and āgamas, please narrate to us the Gurusvarūpa—true nature of Guru, which has the power to remove all impurities.

(notes: agamas are the vedas (vedic principles) and the nigamas are the texts dealing with rituals and injunctions contained in the vedic śaśtras. In the words 'Guru', the syllable 'gu' stands for darkness and 'ru' for the removal of darkness.)

yasya śravaṇa mātrena dehī duḥkhādimucyate | yena mārgaṇa munayaḥ sarvajña tvaṁ prapedire || 3 ||

yatprāpya na punaryāti naraḥ saṁsāra bandhanam | tathāvidhim param tattvam vaktavyamadhuna tvayā || 4 ||

guhyādguhyatamaṁ sāraṁ gurugītā viṣeśataḥ | tvatprasādācca śrotavyā tatsarvaṁ brūḥi sūta naḥ || 5 ||

iti samprārthitaḥ sūto munisanghair-muhurmuhuḥ | kutūhalen mahatā provācha madhuraṁ vacaḥ || 6 ||

    1. Just by listening which, an embodied soul (human) becomes free from all sufferings and by treading which path the great sages have attained the state of Sarvajña, omniscience.

By attaining which, man never again gets tied back to the bondage of saṁsāra-the cycle of birth and death; please narrate that Param Tattva—that Supreme Truth to us now.

  1. O Sūta, that which is the secret of all secrets, which is the ultimate essence, particularly the Guru Gītā, by your grace we pray to listen to that, and we are eager to listen all of That from you.

  2. Thus again and again prayed by the sages, Sūta spoke these sweet words with great enthusiasm.

(tvat-prasad – by your Prasad, grace).

(Note: the query continues and goes upto the 6 th verse.) (Munayah – great sages; na punaryāti – never again go to or through)

SūTa UvāCaḥ || SrṇUdhvaṁ Munayaḥ Sarve śRaddhyā ParyāMudā | VadāMi Bhavrogaghnīṁ Gitāṁ MāTrasvarūPiṇīM || 7

(śraddhyā: with authenticity, faith; paryā-mudā: paryā: turn around, mudā: pleasure)

  1. Sūta said: O all you Munis (Sages), listen with deep authenticity and joy. I shall now narrate to you the Gītā, which is capable of destroying bhavaroga-the disease of material existence (repeated birth and death) and which is mātrasvarūpiṇi-the very form of Mother onto you all.

(notes: the conversation between Lord Śiva and Pārvati is introduced by a question by the sages to Sūta at the sacred spot Naimaśaranya where the 18 Purāṇas were recited in days of the yore.)

(Notes: Siddhas are perfected beings. Gandharvas are experts in music in the heaven world.)

Please listen.

I will just make few statements about Kailāsa. Understand.

PraṇAmrvadanā śAśVan-NamaskurvantamāDarāT | DṛṣTvā VismayamāPannā PāRvatī ParipṛAcchati || 10

  1. Long ago, on the mountain peak of Kailāsa (abode of Lord Śiva), which is frequented by the Siddhas and Gandharvas, in that most beautiful temple created by Kalpavṛkṣa, the wish-fulfilling tree adorned by its shrubs, flowers, fruits

9, 10. Seated on a tiger-skin, surrounded and worshipped by Śuka and other sages, on one occasion, while Lord Śiva was expounding to the Rṣis—the Paraṁ Tattva, Supreme Truth; Pārvatī with Her face full of devotion, seeing Lord Śiva bowing to some one with great reverence again and again, and being very much surprised at this, asked the Lord thus.

(Notes: Kailasa, the seat of Lord Śiva, is the venue of satsang for the riṣis, Munis and saints as they often visit the abode of the Lord to pay their respects and be benefited by His satsang, instructive talks.)

Kailāsa is a place where at least one million Enlightened beings' bodies are still residing. At least, one million enlightened beings are alive, radiating their energy! At least one million enlightened beings live there!

Kailāsa, the place is a statement by Mahādeva about His glory. See, sometimes you need to make a statement in the language people understand. So, Mahādeva makes the statement about His presence by creating a place like Kailāsa. You cannot call it as a natural wonder. Kailāsa is supernatural wonder!

|| śrī pārvatyuvāca || oṁ namo devadeveṣa parātpara jagadguro | tvāṁ namaskurvante bhaktyā surāsuranarāḥ sadā || 11 ||

12. Brahma, ViṣṇU, Indra And Others Certainly Worship And Prostrate To You Always. Being The Refuge Of Such Prostrations, I Wish To Know Who Will Be The Recipient Of Your Prostrations (NamaskāR).

(There is anyone superior to You to whom You have to prostrate? Are You not the Supreme Being, the sole abode of all prostrations (namaskār)? )

Khalu – indeed, certainly

(note: this indicated that Devī Pārvatī had noticed the Lord prostrating to some one during His prayers or at other times. In the celebrated Śrī Rāmacharitra, Saint Tulasidās brings in a similar instance and a doubt is raised by Devī Pārvatī. Pārvatī was confirmed in the view that Bhāgvān Śiva is the Highest and the Supreme Lord of all Lords, Devādīdeva, Mahadev. This act of Mahadev was a surprise to Her.)

13. Noticing This Act Of Yours, I Am Struck With Great Wonder. I Am Unable To Understand This. Kindly Tell Me, O Prabho (Lord).

(note: vipulam means abundance or frequently done.)

14. O Bhagavan, O SarvadharmajñA-Knower Of All Dharmas, That VṛAta (Sacred Vow) Which Is The Chief Hero Of All The VṛAtas, Kindly Narrate To Me, O śAmbho, The GurumahāTmyam-Glory Of Guru, Which Is The Ultimate And Greatest.

Notes: plural 'sarvadharmajña' Bhagavan Śiva is the knower and the authority of all dharmas.

15. O SvāMi (My Lord)! By Adopting Which Particular Path Can An Embodied Being Become Brahmamaya—Complete, United Into The Brahman, The Absolute Reality? Kindly Be Graceful To Me, SvāMi. I Bow Down And Worship Your Feet.

iti samprārthitaḥ śaśvanmahādevo maheśvaraḥ | ānandabharitaḥ svānte pārvatīmidam-bravīt || 16 ||

16. Thus Repeatedly Prayed To By PāRvatī, The Great Lord MahāDeva, MaheśVara (śIva), With His Inner-Space Overflowing With Abundant Bliss, Spoke The Following Words To PāRvatī.

(sva-ānte: self inner-space)

17. BhagavāN śRī MahāDeva Said: O Devī, This (GurumahāTmyam, Glory Of Guru) Is The Greatest Mystery Of All Mysteries. This Is Not To Be Revealed To Any One. I Have Never Revealed This To Any One Before. But I Shall Tell You Because Of Your Great Devotion To Me.

(puraa- before, anciently; rahasyāti-rahasyakam-there are some secrets which may be ordinarily revealed to select persons but there are certains secrets which can be revealed only to the dearest person. One such secret is this—that Mahādeva is going to reveal to Pārvatī. The Guru awaits the qualified disciple to reveal these secrets. PARVATI IS THE FIRST DISCIPLE OF MAHĀDEVA.)

Guru Gītā is a great book. Mahādeva speaks to Pārvatī about Him. He speaks to Her about Him! Nithyānandeśvara speaks to Nithyānandeśvari about Guru. The Guru Gītā is directly spoken by Mahādeva to Mahādevī, Pārvatī about Guru.

Devī is the first disciple of Mahādeva. Devī Pārvati, Adi Śakti is the first disciple; because Devī had initiation first.

18. O Devī, You Are My Very Self In Form. This Question Of Yours, Which Will Enrich The Whole World, Has Never Been Asked Before By Anyone. Therefore, I Shall Narrate This Mystery To You.

Please listen, sincerely.

Mahādeva says, 'O Devī, You are My own Self, My rūpa, My form—mama rupa.'

First thing. Mahādeva-Devī, Śiva-Śakti—It is same energy in different form. You can't separate It. Both lead to the same Truth, to the same experience, to the same ultimate.

Let me define Mahādeva, Śiva-Śakti.

'The original substance of Existence', that is the definition I want to give

for Mahādeva. Śiva is the original substance of Existence!

The original substance is Mahādeva, Śiva. The original substance of Existence decided to enjoy Itself, It is called Śakti, Devī. So, Śiva and Devī, both are one and the same to Its core. This is the essence of Advaita Vedānta, Śuddha Advaita Vedānta.

Listen, when 'I' becomes 'we' by the incompletions added it is hell. When 'I' becomes 'we' out of joy and the space of creation, it becomes—Brahman becoming Prakṛti.

Listen. I have revealed too much beyond what your mind can bite. Now I'll help you step by step.

In the original state, whether you or God feel the pure 'I', without 'you' or 'they' or 'me', it is a pure 'I'. The 'I' becomes 'we' when the incompletion is added to it. Listen! When you have an incompletion to be fulfilled, that becomes the reason for making you feel you are multiple, something else other than 'you' also exists. When the 'I' becomes 'we' because of the incompletions inserted, it is hell! So, in every step, the incompletion goes on adding more and more incompletion.

When the 'I' becomes 'we' because of incompletions added, it is hell. Why you took birth? the 'I' became 'we' because of incompletions added. Your experience of 'I', the pure 'I' started experiencing 'we' means as multiple.

Listen! Anything, if it does not bring powerlessness to you, it will not bring karma. It can be as complicated as going for a war or as simple as chewing a pān (betel leaf), as complicated as killing millions in the war or as simple as chewing a pān. It can be anything, but it will not bring karma to you, if it does not bring powerlessness to you.

See, 'I', When It Experiences Itself As 'We' Due To The Pure Completion And Creation, That Is What Is Called The Jagat Janana. The Pure Original Substance Of The Existence—śIva, Out Of Creativity, Joy, Powerfulness, Completion, Becomes Devī And Starts Celebrating His Own Existence.

Please listen, if you understand. I am talking about Hindu macro cosmology and micro cosmology.

Every day you can wake-up like Mahādeva becoming Devī or you can wake-up as usual like how you do; you have the freedom. Finally it boils down to whether you wake-up like Śiva becoming Devī or you becoming your personality, it depends on the strength of completion in you, the strength of completion in you, the strength of

Completion In You. You Can See The Difference. When MahāDeva Becomes PrakṛIti, It Is So Beautiful!

Bring powerful completion into you. Listen! Śiva is Completion. Śakti is the Creation of Completion, the Bliss of Completion. Bring powerful completion into you. I tell you, when you bring completion into you, every day when you wake-up, it will be like Śiva becoming the Universe, Śiva becoming His own rūpa, His own Self, Devī!

Please listen, I am repeating.

When the 'I' becomes 'we' out of incompletions added into it, it becomes kārmic life. When the 'I' becomes 'we' out of pure completion, Śiva and pure creativity, Devī, it becomes Avatāric life. Whether your life is kārmic life or Avatāric life, you diagnose, you decide. And you can change from kārmic life to Avatāric life. You can change it from kārmic life to Avatāric life! So, start moving from pure completion, Śiva. Move yourself to more and more completion.

Listen, the secret is this!

When the 'I' becomes 'we' out of completion, when the 'we' merges into the 'I' out of completion, you are an Incarnation! Out of pure completion when 'I' becomes 'we', and 'we' becomes 'I', your life is the life of an Incarnation, Jīvan Mukta. When 'I' becomes 'we' out of incompletion, and 'we' becomes 'I' out of incompletion, then your life is kārmic life.

(MahāDeva Gives The Key. To Whom Will This Truth Be Told. Only One For Whom Deva Is Guru) – Qualification Of Receiving Guru GīTā – Para Bhakti

(adding content from parabhakti, feeling connection, authenticity satsang)

19. Any One Who Has ParāBhakti—Supreme Love And Devotion To The Lord (Deva) And As For The Lord, Likewise Has The Same Devotion To His Guru, To Such MahāTmas, Great Souls Alone, Will The Truths Explained Herein Clearly Illumine Themselves.

Understand, there is a beautiful Upaniṣad in our Vedic tradition where the Guru was once asked by a disciple.

A disciple asks the Guru, 'Why don't you initiate everyone into the great truth of *Advaita–'*You are the Ultimate?'

The Guru says, 'People won't understand.'

The disciple says, 'No, no, no.' The Guru replies, 'Alright, sit next to me.'

He then calls all the demons or asuras and gives them the Advaita Upaniṣad–'You are the Ultimate.' They immediately went back to the asura loka (demonic planet) and declared, 'We are everything! Eat, drink and be merry! And destroy everybody else!'

The Guru then calls the human beings. He gives them the Advaita Upanishad, and emits the word, 'You are the Ultimate!' They come to planet Earth and say, 'Come on, enjoy! We are the Ultimate! Lets have pleasure! Pleasure is life! Pleasing the body is the goal!'

The Guru then calls the matured beings, the great souls, Mahātmas, and utters, 'You are the Ultimate!' They sit in Samādhi and get enlightened!

Understand, sometimes the same truth, if you don't listen to it, live it with authenticity, śraddha, it can be dangerous. If you live with Authenticity, one truth is enough to completely make you enlightened. The Truth about death, it can either make you more and more dhārmic and enlightened, or it can make you more and more greedy and lusty.

You can say, 'Anyhow I am going to die. Why unnecessarily waste life? Let me meditate and get enlightened!'

Or you can also say, 'Anyhow I am going to die. Why waste life? Come on, womanize, drink, enjoy all pleasures!' Same Truth with śraddha or authenticity works in a different way; and without authenticity works in a different way.

See, without authenticity, the truth of Advaita, Advaita Satya—'You are the Ultimate! You are Śiva!'—can make you a demon. Without authenticity, the

spiritual strength or the spiritual teachings given to you can make you a demon. Only with authenticity, it makes you enlightened, understand.

Makes Any Distinction Between The Two, Is Guilty Of The Crime Of Uniting With His Guru'S Wife.

In Śiva Mahāpuraṇa, there is one demon described as Apasmāraka. Understand, this one demon cannot be destroyed by anybody other than Mahādeva. And even Mahādeva can destroy Apasmāraka only in the form of Guru. Mahādeva needs to be in the form of Guru to destroy this demon. Śiva is Guru. Guru is Śiva.

Listen. Apasmāraka means forgetting your original nature. Apasmāraka covered even Devī, put her in delusion, and Devī forgot she is Ardhāngini (united part or form) of Mahādeva. Devī forgot she is part of Mahādeva and fell into apasmāra.

All of you are caught by Apasmāraka; you forgot your original truth that you are an Advaiti, you are in the non-dualistic space. Even Mahādeva cannot kill Apasmāraka by His Triśul (trident).

Śiva Purāṇa beautifully says, 'The tip of the tongue of Mahādeva, the words He utters, only through that, He can remove Apasmāraka.'

It means that only by teaching He can remove Apasmāraka; only by Guru's teachings, Guru's initiation can Mahādeva remove Apasmāraka. So, Śiva as Guru destroys the ignorance. Guru is Śiva Himself. Śiva is Guru.

The whole thing what I am doing is nothing but killing the Apasmāraka who has covered your life. You have forgotten your higher existence. You have forgotten your higher possibility. You have forgotten who you are.

First, you became a victim of your body thinking that is you and that little excitement is what is life. Then you became the victim of your mind thinking that award, reward, recognition, that is part and parcel of your life and body. Then you became victim of your own ignorance which is a mixture of body and mind; means, the powerful confusion which makes you believe it is a stable organ, the powerful confusion which resides in

you which makes you believe that the stable part of you is mind.

Understand, your body-mind confusion is so powerful, just by a small headache it will put you in Apasamāra and convince you, 'Hey, you cannot even handle a headache; how can you handle the sufferings which will come when you leave the body? You are not enlightened. Listen to your body and mind and live. You are not Consciousness. Listen to your body and mind and strategize your life.'

The Force And Confusion Which Is In You And Constantly Asks You To Strategize Your Life Based On The Idea That You Are Just Ordinary Body And Mind, Which Gives Way For Powerlessness, That Is What I Call ApasmāRa–Giving Way For Powerlessness.

I tell you, if you are powerful, even if your bones are fractured you won't have pain, you cannot be in powerlessness. If you are powerless, no need for a fracture or anything else, just one ant is enough to put you in such a terrorized state of confusion and powerlessness! One small ant bites you, one small thorn pricks you, you will scream at everyone as if fire-crackers have been put on the back of a donkey! In Hindu villages, the kids play this game—they tie crackers in the tail of a donkey and set fire to it. The poor donkey does not know from where it is bursting! Apasmāra is not just tied to your tail; it is tied to your every part, every organ! Apasmāra means the delusion of forgetting your original identity. Forgetting the identity by the constant confusion, forgetting the identity by the constant delusion, is mind, Apasmāra.

Don't engage, entertain the continuous confusion as a permanent part of your life. The continuous confusion and delusion, when it becomes a permanent part of your life, you fall in the hands of Apasmāra.

Guru happens to destroy Apasmāra. Śiva happens as Guru to save you from Apasmāra.

(Guru is God of making you decide! Only Guru can do that)

Lakṣmī is goddess of wealth. Sarasvatī is goddess of knowledge. Durgā is goddess of power. Vāyu is god of air. Agni is the god of fire. Indra is the god of the east direction. Yama is the God of the South direction.

Kubera is the God of Wealth, which is accumulated.

Mahādeva is God of everything, other than one thing—making you decide. Nobody, not even Mahādeva can make you decide. Only one person, Guru—Guru is God of making you decide. That is why even Mahādeva has to assume the form of Guru to teach the Science of Living Enlightenment. Understand, even when Śiva assumes the form of Guru, He cannot command, He can only recommend. He cannot command you, 'Now decide to be in the Space of Advaita!' No! Śiva as Guru only can remind. Understand, even when Mahādeva takes the form of the Guru, He cannot command, He can only remind.

O Priye (Dear One)! Japa (Chanting), Tapa (Austerities), VṛAta (Vow Observances), TīRtha (Pilgrimage), YajñA (Enriching Sacrifices), DāNa (Charity)—All These Become A Mere Waste Without The Knowledge Of The Guru Tattva, The Guru Principle.

(Note: Verse 23 concludes that all the scriptures quoted above and the different traditions are meaningless without the knowledge of the Truth of Guru Tattva. These verses glorify the supreme significance of Guru.)

Please Listen. Just These Basic Truths!

One, all scriptures, all literatures, all methods of teaching can only inspire you, they cannot give experience. Understand, this is the first law. All books, all vidoes, when I say all—ALL—including mine. Books, videos, everything can only create inspiration in you, but cannot give experience.

You see, experience is like a lamp. Only from a burning lamp you can pick up, catch. Only from a lamp you can light a lamp. Only from a lamp, you can light a lamp. Same way, the jīvan mukti is transmitted only from a living body to a living body. Experience can be transmitted from a living body to a living body. If that body has to catch jīvan mukti, it has to catch from the same material source, which is Living Enlightenment.

Please understand, I am defining very clearly, the need of the Master. If that body, made out of muscles and the mind made out of thoughts, if it needs to catch Living Enlightenment, jīvan mukti fire, it has to catch it only from another body, which is living Enlightenment at the same frequency; it means that you can catch It only from the same flesh and bones.

Be very clear, Mahavatār Bābā cannot give you Living Enlightenment (Advaita). I am making a very strong statement, but Truth. He cannot only give you inspiration, experience; some glimpse. But if He wants to give jīvan mukti, He has to guide you to a person who is in the physical body.

Rāmakṛṣna or Ramaṇa Mahaṛṣi or Mahavatār Bābā, Osho or J Krishnamurthy or any Enlightened Guru who has left the body, all of them are still in the Cosmic plane, do you know why? Listen! For all those to whom they committed when they are in the physical body. For example, if you were in the body when Rāmakṛṣna was physically present and you had a direct connection with Him, and He blessed you, and He then passed away, and still you are here, then He will be there to directly take care of you. But no new addition is possible after the body has left. No new addition is possible.

Now if you are a seeker, starting to pray to Rāmakṛṣna or Ramaṇa Mahaṛṣi, they can guide you to a Living Master, that's all. They themselves will not be able to give because it has to be transmitted from this plane of flesh and bone**. That is why the need of Living Master, again and again comes back. Understand, that is why no huge organization is able to own spirituality than a Living Master.** Seekers are around THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM.

The reason is it can be transmitted only from flesh to flesh; from the person who is living Jīvan Mukta, through His muscle-memory and muscles. See, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM will be living jīvan mukti without muscles after THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM leave the body. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM will be living Jīvan Mukti; but, because there are no muscles, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM will not be able to transmit it to the person who is with muscles. If THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM initiate you now, and give you the assurance, only then THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM can handle you even if THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM leave the body. So, if you had assurance from Rāmakṛṣna or Ramana Mahaṛṣi or Osho, or any Enlightened Guru, when they are in the flesh, then you don't need to go to new Master.

But Even Then Usually They Guide To A Living Master Because Living Around The Living Master Is Not Only Living Enlightenment, It Is Such A Joy, It Is An Ecstasy, It Is A Way Of Life.

For that reason they guide**.** Understand thoroughly. Otherwise if you did not have connection with them physically when they were in the body, even they cannot do anything. Mahāvatār Bābā will not be able to give you Enlightenment or the spiritual experience, He can only guide you.

25. O VarāNane (PāRvatī), The Guru Is The āTman (Self) And Not Different From It. I Declare Onto You, This Is The Truth, This Is The Truth. Therefore, For The Attainment Of Guru, Efforts Should Be Made By Seekers And Men Of Wisdom.

(Note: varānane – lovely-faced one.

The attainment (talla) of a qualified Guru is the only means to the attainment of Jñana. Therefore, there is no difference between the Guru and Ātma Jñāna.)

Let me expand on the need for making effort to catch the right Guru. How to catch the right Guru!

Here, Mahādeva is declaring, repeating the Truth to Devī—'This is the Truth. This is the Truth, O Devī—satyam satyam varānane. Guru is your very Self (ātman) and none else—guru buddhyātmano nānyat.' He says the intelligent beings should make every effort to attain the Guru—tāllabhārtham prayatnastu.

In the whole Vedānta Sampradāya (order), the only requirement is a proper Guru. Beautifully it describes how to catch the right Guru.

Listen!

Peel all the things that are common. For example, if THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM have an organization, somebody else also has an organization, there are so many spiritual organizations, remove that part from THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM glory, the Guru's glory. If THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM have a body, many of you also have body, remove that part from THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM glory. If THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM have amazing orating power, many people also have it. Remove that part from THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM glory. So, go on peeling, peeling, peeling.

Finally, at some point, your logic will not be able to peel further, but still you will feel, He is something more than all these things. When your logic feels—'I cannot peel any further, I have peeled everything. Even after all these things are removed, He has something more than all these things put together.' When you feel this understanding with somebody, He is your Guru.

If that does not happen, if you feel—'No, after I peel three-four things he is not worthy', then forget about him. He is not worthy of being your Guru. You are not worthy of being his disciple.

The Guru-disciple relationship is sacred, it should be started only after thorough study and research and should never be ended. It should be started after thorough research and should never be ended. I tell you, ending the Guru-disciple relationship in your life is the worst crime you will do to yourself, worst punishment you can impose upon yourself, worst conspiracy against your Self.

I want to tell you one more thing. Listen. Change of Guru is perfectly alright, nothing wrong. For example, you go to one Guru, after sometime you grow out of him or you get more mature. You feel connected to some other Guru, that is perfect, nothing wrong. At some point, if you feel you have grown out of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, please carry on with your life, if you are feeling connected to some other Guru. Great! But dropping the Guru and not having some other Guru is the crime. It means you did not drop from the earlier Guru because you are advancing; you dropped because you have fallen.

A beautiful incident in Rāmakṛṣna's life.

When His young disciple, Vivekānanda used to come to Him, Rāmakṛṣna will constantly repeat to him, 'You are incarnation of Śiva and Viṣṇu. You are incarnation of Nara-Narāyaṇa. You are incarnation of God.'

The other disciples used to ask Him, 'What is this? He is a young boy, going to college. You are saying, he is incarnation of God. How can it be?'

Rāmakṛṣna says, 'don't bother about that. Just by My word, he will become, he will achieve that state. He will start living that state.'

Whoever you strongly believe, whatever they say will mould your personality. That is why THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM always tell people—catch the right Guru. He will constantly remind you—You are the Ultimate. You are God. You are living in the eternal energy. He will constantly remind you about your original state of Advaita, non-duality.

There are two states in you. One is your original state—the Divine state. Another one is—the cloud that covers you. If you catch the right Guru, He will constantly tell you—you are Divine because He is in the Divine state. If you catch the wrong Guru, He will constantly tell you—you are covered by cloud because he is covered by cloud. He is in the cloudy state.

So, catch the right person. Catching the right Guru almost does 80% of your job, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM can't say 80, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM think 90 percent. No! Not even 90, 100%. If you catch the right Guru and He also catches you, work is done, that's all. Now nothing else is need, you are on your way to Enlightenment.

If you catch the right Guru and He also catches you, then work is done, because He will constantly kindle your right imagination.

He will constantly make you understand the right Truth.

Imagination can straight away be used. Now scientists are saying, 'if you constantly tell your children, you are dull, they will become dull. If you constantly praise them, 'you are bright,' they will become bright.'

Understand, to work on imagination, you don't need a separate time, the right Guru teaches—you are already Enlightened, nothing else needs to be done. The moment this thought is strongly put inside a person, he starts behaving like that, he starts living like that, he starts experiencing that courage, he starts experiencing that confidence. Even one or two hurdles that come, he handles them with that confidence, with that courage, with that brightness, with that knowledge, with that energy, with that enthusiasm and he lives enlightenment.

THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM am not interested in teaching you first wrong concept that you are a beggar. Then second wrong concept—you have to beg, only then you can become millionaire. No!

You ARE already a millionaire, not only a millionaire, a billionaire, trillionaire, and beyond that. All you need is—remember it, reclaim it, live it. Remembering, reclaiming, living is all you need. So, you are Complete. That is why with our Sangha, the more you feel connected and come close, the less Sādhana, less practices are needed, because THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM am using your very imagination. Your 24 hours become a spiritual practice, you don't need a separate practise.

(Below: Significance Of Why Guru Explained By Swamiji)

Please come to the space of listening.

Let me expand on the Guru's importance for rekindling, reawakening the spirit of spirituality. Let me expand on what is the need of the Guru. Why Guru!

Listen. Master is a new possibility happening in your life. Guru is a new possibility happening in your life. He is a new language. He is a new energy.

Sometimes people ask, 'Why do we need a Guru? Why do we need a Master?'

Yes, you don't need a Master if you are just going to eat and die. You need a Master only when you want to achieve something extraordinary.

Understand. For anything in your life, you need a Guru, a teacher, a mentor. Even if you want to learn a simple thing such as to eat or to dress, or to cook, to learn anything, you need a teacher or a mentor.

Even for ordinary outer-world simple things that can be learnt by manuals, books you need a Guru. Then understand, in the inner-world you are almost trying to reach the Sun with a bullock cart. With your ordinary logic, you are trying to experience the highest possibility, for the Consciousness. So it is like trying to reach the Sun with a bullock cart. You naturally you need a person who did it. You need Guru who did it and who can take you there.

The person who does not have eyes, who is born blind can never understand what he is missing. How much ever people with eyes try to explain to him, that blind person will never understand what he is

missing.

A small story.

A born-blind man was told by his friend that the blind man's new-born child is dead.

The blind man could not understand, he asked, 'How? How can my child die? How did it happen? Tell me.'

The friend said, 'No, while they gave milk to the child, it got stuck in the throat and child died.'

This blind man asked, 'What is milk?'

The friend said, 'Oh, you don't know what is milk? It will be

white colored' This blind man further asked, 'What is white

color? What is white?' The friend replied, 'Have you not seen

the bird Crane? That is white color.' The blind man continued to

ask, 'What is the crane bird?'

The blind man's friend could not explain further. He got thoroughly confused. He just kept that blind man's own hand and showed, 'see how it looks.'

Then the blind man, feeling his own hand, assumed that is how a crane would be. He concluded, 'Now I understand. If you put such a big thing in the child's mouth, it will die only!'

Listen!

A born blind man can never understand what he is missing. I tell you, a man who never tasted Guru in the life will never understand what he is missing in the life.

Guru Is A New Language In Your Being. Guru Is A New Consciousness In Your Being. He Is New Being In Your Life.

Because Sun never dies, every new day it is born. Because Master never loses the inspiration, every new possibility for the restarting is available for disciples. If the Sun dies, new day cannot happen. Because Sun can never die, continuously new, new, new days are happening. Because Guru never loses the inspiration, He makes every day, again and again, inspiration to happen in your life.

The Sun that does not die restarts your day. Master who never loses inspiration, restarts your inspiration.

I Tell You, Master Is Actually New Language In Your Being.

Understand, when a young boy falls in love, he experiences the dimension which he himself has never seen in his life. When a girl falls in love, she experiences the dimension which she has never seen in her life. When a boy or girl falls in love, they experience a new dimension of their life which they have never seen existed in them.

Listen. I am explaining a very sensitive subject. Listen.

Beloved is a being who awakens the dimensions of you which are unknown to you. Your beloved can make you realize your own dimension which you never realized that you have. Your beloved can make you realize and experience that dimension which you did not even know exists in you; which you did not even know that you did not know that—you did not know; that which you did not even know and you did not know that—you did not know. Beloved is a person who makes you experience that which even you did not know you had it, you have it.

Same way, Master, Guru is a person who makes you experience the new Consciousness which even you did not know you had it.

Beloved Makes You Experience The Heart Which You Never Know You Had It. Master, Guru Makes You Experience The Consciousness Which You Never Know You Had It.

Master is a new possibility. To a born blind man, we cannot explain what he is missing.

Can you explain how the ocean will look? Can you explain how the hills will look? Can you explain how the Himālayas will be?

Can you explain how the Kailāsa will be?

Even if you have eyes, I cannot explain how the Kailāsa will be for you. You have to see it. You have to see it. You have to see it to see it. Even with my big, big eyes, I could not see it. Even with my big, big eyes rolling this side and that side, I could not cover it or catch it.

27. I Prostrate To That Guru, Whose Two Lotus-Like Feet Cause The Removal Of All Miseries Arising Out Of The Separation (Dvandva) And Who Saves One From The Ocean Of Worldly Existence Of Repeated Birth And Death.

MAHĀDEVA NOW STARTS REVEALING SERVING GURU'S FEET PURIFIES YOU, DROPS YOUR INCOMPLETIONS IMPORTANCE OF ENRICHING

28. I Shall Tell You That, By Which The Embodied Soul (Dehī), Purified From All Sins (Incompletions), Becomes Brahman (The Supreme Self). It Is By The Enriching Service To The śRī Guru'S Feet—śRīGuru PāDasevā. I Say This Because Of My Special Grace On You.

Viśudhātmā – purified consciousness/soul. Seva – enriching service; Pāpa - incompletions

(Notes: service of the Guru includes physical service, learning and enriching with his teaching of the śāstras and all acts which please Him and particularly spreading the teaching of the Guru and enriching the world. An ideas disciple finds no difference between the Lord and his Guru. Worship of Guru is worship of God. Worship of God is worship of Guru. Those who find any difference cannot have real devotion to God and Guru.)

29. By Drinking The Water After Washing The Sacred Feet Of The Guru And Sprinkling The Remains On The Head, Man Attains The Fruit Of Taking Bath In All The Sacred Waters Of All The Sacred Rivers And Of All Pilgrimages.

śoṣanaṁ pāpa pankasya dīpanaṁ jñānatejasaḥ | guroḥ pādodakaṁ samyak samsārārṇav tārakam || 30 ||

32. One Should Drink The Guru'S Feet-Washed Water (GurupāDodaka) And Eat The Remnants Of The Guru'S Food Plate. One Should Always Chant The Name Of The Guru And Always Meditate On The Guru'S Form (GurumūRti).

notes: all these practices constitute one-pointed devotion and His ananya chintana. It is complete dedication of one's life to Guru's service only.

Please listen.

Let me tell you the essence of worshipping the Guru's feet, gurupāda. Why Guru is worshipped!

Worshipping the Guru is the most ancient tradition in the Vedic tradition. When you are showered so much by Guru with His knowledge, experience, love, blessings, everything, when you are showered by Him—with overflowing gratitude, you don't know what to do. So, you offer whatever you have at His feet. That is the way the tradition of Guru Pūjā started.

Listen. Guru PūJā, Offering Gratitude At The Feet Of The Guru Is The Oldest Ritual In The Vedic Tradition, This Is The Oldest Ritual.

Please understand, the oldest sacred ritual is Guru Pūjā. The first disciple is Pārvatī, Ādi Śakti. The moment the first disciple, Ādi Śakti is excited with the experience of Śiva, the experience given by Mahādeva, in that extraordinary gratitude, she fell at Mahādeva's feet and offered whatever she had at His feet. So the first ritual Guru Pūjā started.

The First DīKśA, Initiation Is śIva SūTra. The First PūJā, Sacred Ritual Is Guru PūJā, The First Stotra (Devotional Hymn) Is Guru GīTā.

With overflowing gratitude, you pour yourself at the feet of the Master, and in the same way you touch the Guru's feet also. In the ecstasy, you always feel like offering yourself at His feet. There is no logical reason why Guru Pūjā is done, why people touch Guru's feet. It is an emotional feeling connection. For some people, it looks like why should I do it? For some people, it is Life, they cannot live without it. I know, for millions of my disciples, morning satsang is much more important than eating food. This is bliss dose. Morning sitting in the Pāda Pūjā and the morning satsang is the powerful bliss dose. Life is life itself.

So, please understand, it is the individual's emotion. One more thing, do Guru Pūja only if you feel intensely connected to it, not otherwise. It should not be done as a ritual. As far as yoga is concerned, whether you want it or not, it has to be done because you are working on body. But when it comes to Guru Pūjā, it is in your mind, your heart. Your mind, your heart itself should feel it. Out of ecstasy and joy, you should be pouring it. There is no logical reason. What is the reason we do Pūjas at Guru's feet—Gurupāda? Why do people want to touch Guru's feet? There is no logical reason. Just, that is the way it is. That's all. That is the way it is.

33. The Chanting Of One'S Guru'S Name (NāMkīRtanam) Becomes The Chanting Of The Name Of śIva, Who Is Ananta (The Infinite), And The Meditation On The Guru'S Name (NāMcintanaṁ)—Becomes The Meditation On The Infinite śIva.

(chanting shivoham nithyanandoham)

34. The Dust Of Whose Feet Enriches To Definitely Bridge Up The Ocean Of Worldy Existence (SaṁSāRa), To Such A Savior, Satguru DeśIka, I Daily Worship.

Note: Deśika means the Demonstrator or Spiritual Teacher who explains and points out the Truth to our intelligence, so we may properly and precisely internalize the Truth into our experience.

35. By Whose Blessings Alone The Two Evils Of Sorrow And Delusion Are Destroyed, To That Supreme Soul, Savior, Guru śRi DeśIka, I Surrender.

Note: add satang on how Guru brings completion, he burns the incompletion

37. The Place Where The Guru Resides Is Kāśī KṣEtra (The Energy Center, Kāśī) And His Feet-Washed Water Is JāHnavī (GaṇGā). The Guru Is Lord ViṣVeśVara (ViśVanāTh Or śIva) Personified And He Is Certainly TāRaka Brahma, The Supreme Savior Who Causes The Cross-Over Of Worldly-Ocean.

(mention about Kasi relevance, satsang; on Ganga and Guru is God, possibility)

(Note: Taraka – liberating, saving, one who causes or enables to cross over (ocean of saṁsāra). On Taraka brahma. Link: Taraka Brahma comes on earth when there is much sin. (like yada yada hi dharmasya. He forms a desire to appear on Earth to restore dharma. He himself is a born Guru and has no spiritual Guru. Taraka Brahma needs no spiritual Sadhana, but to just set an example to others, He performs Sadhana with the masses.)

(Kashi Significance)

Kāśi, this place is Ānanda Vana (blissful forest). Varanasi is called as Ānanda Vana, because it is Mahādeva's quarters. This is where He lives. The first quarters He built for Himself, the first city He developed for Himself—Ānanda Vana!

Anybody burnt here is liberated immediately! Mahādeva appears and initiates them, liberates them! This is Avimukta Kśetra–never forsaken, never given up! Avimukta Kśetra!

This city Varanasi is literally like the Cosmos! If you understand it, it is most fascinating. You will see such a beautiful order in the chaos. If you don't, you will see so much of chaos even in the order! If you don't

understand, it will be frustrating. If you understand, this will be the most fascinating city! This city is older than history itself! And far older than legends itself! And still most fascinating!

Varanasi is the oldest city of Bharat. When Mahādeva got married to Pārvatī, and after Ganesha, Subramanya, all of them happened, all the Gaṇas requested Mahādeva, 'Let's go down to the plains and establish a community.' Mahādeva agreed and came down from Kailāsha with His great disciples, followers and būtha-preta-gana (ghosts and goblins), and established the city for Himself.

At that time, Kashi was called Ānanda Gandha, Ānanda Vana. Listen! The word Ānanda Gandha is used in our whole spiritual literature only once by Ādī Śaṅkara, when He sings about Viśvanātha in Viśvanāthaśtakam.

Only after a long time Gaṅgā (sacred river) came to have Mahādeva's darśan at Kashi and to wash His feet. The city is older than Ganga. The city was not built for Ganga, she came as a visitor later on. Then after Ganga came and had darśan of Mahādeva, Varuṇa and Assi joined, and it became Varanasi.

The whole city is a consolidated experience of Advaita. Please understand, the city is not built with stone, wood, cement, concrete. It is the consolidated Advaitic experience of millions of Enlightened Beings. With that experience of Advaita the city is built. That is why it is 'Suvarṇa Bhūmi—the city is the Golden City.'

Among The Hills—Arunachala. Among The Temples, Palaces—Madurai. Among The Trees—KalpavṛUkśA. Among The Gods—MahāDeva. Among The Cities—Kashi, Varanasi.

Kashi, if you don't understand, most frustrating; if you understand, most fascinating! The old Kashi, the original Kashi is called Avimukta Kśetra– never given up, never forsaken. The people who live there and that place, both are never forsaken, never given up.

Mahādeva himself declares, 'I will hold these people, protect them, even during Pralaya (great deluge). Even when the whole world is destroyed during the great deluge, I will hold them on the tip of My triśula (trident).'

Understand, that is why, even Ādī Śaṅkarācārya, when He made the maṭhas (monasteries), for North–Uttaramnaya, East–Pūrvamnaya, West–Paścimamnaya and South–Dakshinamnaya, after establishing everything, He himself retired in Kānci— Mūlamnaya. So, as per the tradition, all the Śaṅkarācharyas after they appoint their own successors should retire. In Hinduism, even the Pīthādhipatis (spiritual heads) are supposed to retire once they appoint the successors. So, Ādi Śaṅkara very clearly declares that Kāśi is a Urdhvamnaya, He says, 'Kāśi Urdhvamnaya.' Kāśi cannot come under any Śaṅkarāchārya.

Mahādeva again and again and again Himself happens and He will be present here as Ācharya. So, no separate Śaṅkarāchārya. Kāśi is Urdhvamnaya! Mahādeva Himself promises that He will hold the whole place on the tip of His Triśula (trident). Because He promised to hold them on the tip of His triśula and save and protect them, it is called Urdhvamnaya.

Ānanda Vana! Here even death is a liberation and celebration! Even death is a liberation and celebration! Among the seven Jīvan Mukti Kśetras, this is the foremost! Kāśi is the foremost Jīvan Mukti Kśetra!

Ananda Vana! So, even now, Mahādeva relaxes and enjoys His own inner-space and glory in Ānanda Tānḍava—He celebrates His own existence! How when you are in a high mood you take a selfie and put it in Facebook, in the same way, Viśvanātha is selfie of Mahādeva! Viśvanātha and Kālabhairava are selfie of Mahādeva! Because He is in such an ecstasy, He took a selfie and posted it to all of us! That is Viśvanātha and Kālabhairava! Varanasi! Varanasi, the place of Ānanda Vana – blissful forest!

The impact of kśetras and tīrthas on the spiritual growth is something extraordinary! Actually, my whole life is a long yātra. I am born in a tīrtha kśetra, Tiruvannamalai which liberates people just by remembrance, and spent so much of my time in travelling to tīrtha kśetras in my life. Even now I don't stay in a city or a village if there is no temple there! I stay only if I can go to the temple in the morning! The influence of tīrtha kśetras, especially tīrthas like Jīvan Mukti Nagara (cities that liberate)!

Please understand, in Vedic Tradition, we have seven cities that grant liberation, Jīvan Mukti Puris– Kānchi, Kāśi, Māyā (Haridvār), Avantika, Mathurā, Ayodhyā, Dvārikā. These seven cities are called Jīvan Mukti Puri, which give liberation either when you visit or by leaving the body there, or by living there. There are some like Arunāchala—just by remembering you get liberated! Apart from all these, Kāśi has a very fascinating influence over people. It is really, really fascinating!

I want to define Yātra and Kśetra.

Yātra is travelling to a place which puts you in the highest state! Going to a place that gets you back to the space! Going to a place that gets you back to the space!

Going to a place that gets you back to your own space is Kśetra. Ksetra is a place which stands for certain spiritual energy, certain ideology. All our temples and ashrams are the modern-day Kśetras. Please listen! All our temples and ashrams are the modern-day Kśetras.

And this concept of Yātra is unique to Hinduism, please understand. Tens of thousands of years before any religion invented any Yātra or any pilgrimage, we were doing pilgrimage, Yātra. It is through Yātra, Bharat was kept united. Please understand, the priests from Karnataka are doing Pūjā in Kedarnath. Priests from Maharashtra are doing Pūjā in Rāmeśvaram. Priests from different parts of the country do Pūjā in the other parts of the country in the temples. By this great spiritual tourism, this country's fabric of Enlightenment was kept alive. The backbone of this country, even 'backbone' is too small a word. 'Fabric' is the right word. It means, the whole basis of this country is Enlightenment.

Yātra is one of the very important aspects of Hinduism. Going to the energy fields, being there, giving people the experience, the strength! You cannot compare among the Kśetras, Varanasi, to any Kśetra. Kāshi city has the world's largest floating population. Please understand, per day a lot of people enter the city and leave the city. The floating population of the city is a lot of people! It means, per month almost a lot of people; per year almost a lot of people! It is far, far, far ahead of any other religion's any pilgrimage centre. All through the year this pilgrimage happens!

Listen. Especially in Varanasi the Mūrti, Tīrtha and Kśetra, all three are available! Mūrti is the form of Divine—Achala Mūrti (immoving living divine) is Viśvanātha and Sachala Mūrti (moving Divine form) is Satguru. Tīrtha is Gaṅgā—

Varuna, Assi; Kśetra: Kāshi, Avimukta Kśetra–never forsaken, never given up. So, understand, initiations by the Satguru in the proper tīrtha, kśetra, by the proper mūrti—Gurumūrti, makes you awakened!

(Next, Ganga significance)

(Mahādeva says, jāhnavī caraṇodakaṁ—the Guru's feet-washed is Ganga. (connect this tt to Guru being a cause of other's reality as Ganga is nectar which causes other's reaity)

The most hurting emotion in life is violence, whether you carry it towards you or others. And the most healing emotion in the world or the truth in the world, is being a cause for others' reality. The greatest poison in the world is violence. The greatest medicine in the world is being a cause for everyone's reality. The greatest amṛta (nectar) in the world is being a cause for everyone's reality. Gaṇgā, she is just a cause for everyone's reality. That is why she is amṛta. She is the amṛta kumbha, amṛta kalaśa, because she is just a cause for everyone's reality.

If you just decide, 'Let me be a cause for everyone's reality', suddenly you will see so much of healing inside you. Such vast space happens to you. You see vast space means the ability to handle any situation and

courage to do anything. You will not be tired at all. You will have the ability to do the pūrva pakśa—the initial steps, again and again and again. Anybody who retains his ability and enthusiasm to start anything again from the scratch is a Leader.

The Service Of The Guru Is Gayā KṣEtra (The Energy Center, Gayā), His Body Is The Imperishable Banyan Tree (AkṣAya Vat), His Feet Is The Feet Of Lord ViṣṇU (ViṣṇUpāDa) And Anything Offered At His Feet Bestows Infinite Merit.

datt-offered, placed

Note: Gayā is tīrtharāja, the king of pilgrimages. To the ideal Guru-bhakta, who has one pointed devotion, śraddha, Guru is Brahma, Viṣṇu, Siva and the different places

of pilgrimage like Kashi, Gaya etc. There is no tirtha or punyaksetra other than the Guru. He sees Kashi, Gaya, Mathura, Vrindavan, Vaikuntha, Moksha, everything in His own Guru. This sort of Guru Bhakti is very rare and cannot be obtained without His grace.

[internal note: Here syāt is — is, exists, comes into existence, let there is, must be. Syāt – comes from the root Sanskrit word-'asti', it is/he is, It means 'may he be' or 'may it be' (kim etat syat? What does it mean?) (http://vedabase.net/s/syat)

The Disciple Should Always Be In The Remembrance Of His Guru'S Personification, GurumūRti, He Should Chant The Guru'S Name At All Times; He Should Always Carry Out The Actions As Per The Guru'S Order, Guru āJñA. He Should Be Devoted To His Guru Only And Think Of None Else.

Notes: disciple should have devotion to Guru only. Guru is life. His all 4 images must be centered on Guru. His everything becomes Advaita experience.

(listening to Guru's words, Rāmakṛṣna story; remembering Guru)

Master's words, Guru ājña, when it is postponed, not only it dies, it kills you also! When you postpone your decision-making, only then Master interferes and gives you the word, Guru Vāk. But if you postpone even acting upon the Guru Vāk, who can save you? So, understand, never ever postpone executing the Master's word, Guru Vāk.

(7 Layers – Body Language Of Guru Needed Not Enlightenment; Leela Dhyana V/S Nirvikalpa Samadhi Expressed)

Please listen.

The only difference between 'you' and 'me' is not Enlightenment, because you also carry that, I also carry that.

You see, you have seven bodies, I also have seven bodies. In our seven layers, the last two bodies are the Cosmic layer and Nirvanic layer. The

last two layers are one and the same for you and me, even now. Please understand, even now the Cosmic layer and Nirvanic layer is same for you and same for Me. There is no difference in that. But the physical layer (first layer), that is where the difference starts. So, all you need is not Enlightenment but the body language of Enlightenment**. All you need is the body language of a Living Guru.**

See, these first two layers—this Nirvanic body and Cosmic body—in these two layers both of us, the Guru and you are same. Only in these outside layers like physical, pranic, mental, subtle layers, only there we differ. It means what?

You Don'T Need Enlightenment, You Need Enlightened Body Language. You Need Guru'S Body Language.

Understand what I am saying.

You already have Enlightenment, you don't need It. Inside, the pure Consciousness is there, you can't create that. But the walls, the layers they all are covering the original light inside. So now, those layers should become like a glass house. Instead of wall it should become glass. See in me, Consciousness is same, I have seven layer glasses around me. You also have seven layer walls around you, but from those walls, that light is not radiating. Because I have seven layer glass, it is not only radiating, it is just shining. So, all you need to do—change your walls into glass. So, all you need is enlightened body language not Enlightenment itself. Understand, I am breaking one of the important pots.

You don't Enlightenment, you need enlightened body language. Are you understanding the key difference, the key shift? All you need is see how the Enlightened Master, the Guru lives and live the same way, that's all.

That is why the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (Hindu scripture on glory of Incarnations) says—Līla Dhyāna is the ultimate than any Nirvikalpa Dhyāna**.** If you need Enlightenment, you need to unclutch and be in Nirvikalpa state. But you don't need Enlightenment. You actually need

an enlightened body language. Then all you need to do is—not to unclutch and try to achieve that pure inner-space. All you need is meditate on the person radiating Enlightenment and do the same thing in you.

Here Mahādeva says, 'gurumūrtiṁ smaren-nityaṁ—always remember the Gurumūrti, the Guru's form (39); gurordhyānaṁ sadā kuryāt kulastrī svapatiṁ yathā (40)—constantly be soaked in meditating on the Guru's form like how a devoted wife remembers her husband only.'

All you need is meditate on the Guru who is radiating Enlightenment, who is radiating Advaita and do the same thing in you.

Understand the importance of Līla Dhyāna**,** Guru Dhyāna.

Līlā Dhyāna means seeing the place of a Living Master and constantly being soaked in it. Nirvikalpa Dhyāna means continuously unclutching, unclutching, unclutching, unclutching, unclutching and settling into that silence. Now you understand the difference between the two!

Mahādeva beautifully says, 'gurumūrtiṁ smaren-nityaṁ.' Just remembering the Guru's form and acts is meditation! Just remembering His līlā, divine acts, we are led to completion and liberation.

You can continuously unclutch and merge into that silence also, no problem. But I don't know how many years it will take and what will be the side-effect and time. And actually you don't need to; instead meditate on the līlas of the Guru—gurordhyāna. So, naturally when you meditate on līlas of the Master, you don't need to do anything else, automatically that body language will start expressing in you.

In the Nithya Kriya Yoga Program, I got a few letters from devotees who said, 'after a few days we feel like we are talking like you, Swamiji. I feel my face is like you. When I close my eyes, I feel you are Me. And sometimes when I see your photograph, I feel it's my photograph.' So, when this happens, it means that līla dhyāna dvāra—that initiation of līla dhyāna has started happening in you. Understand, if this happens, then you are done. If that same feeling

starts staying inside you without your effort, you are done, that's all. I think now you understand what living around the Master does inside you.

Understand, Catching The Master, Missing The Master And Abusing The Master

Catching the Master is catching that fire and having that strong vitarka—feeling connection, catching that Living Enlightenment fire and start Living Advaita. So, catching the Master.

Missing the Master is being unable to catch that fire but understanding that Master is of compassion and only I am not able to catch it, is Missing the Master. Abusing the Master is—no, he is not giving.

Understand, the three major things. See, catching the Master means you understand—straight away relating, having feeling connection, having completion with the Master and experiencing, catching the fire and start living it, start Living Enlightenment*, jīvan mukti*—is catching the Master.

Missing the Master means understanding that you are responsible and you have to catch it; trying to alter inside you, is Missing the Master.

Abusing the Master means trying to alter the Master, trying to correct Him, trying to judge Him. See first thing, if you catch the Master, that is the ultimate, best. Even if you miss the Master, don't worry, you will come back again. But never ever do that abusing the Master. Gone, once for all.

Understand, it is like in the movie cine field, if you produced a movie and did not pay the artist, they will complain and your file will be closed, you will not be able to do any further movies. This file will be there if you try to do any movie. No artists will come for acting in your movie. In the same way, if you abuse the Master once, please understand I am not threatening you or anything; consciously it gets recorded into your system. To anybody your file goes, they will say wait.

There Is A Story In Tenalirama.

A king saw the whole country is filled with rats. So he ordered that all the houses should have one cat and gave one cat to each citizen. But all of them, complained of not having money to buy milk to maintain the cat. Then, the King donated one cow to all the houses; one cow for milk and one cat to take care of the rats.

After one month, somebody came and complained to the King, 'many guys are just taking the milk from the cow and drinking it, and not taking care of the cat you gave. So we should get all the cats and audit whether the cats are healthy. So let us get all the cats back.'

The moment the King ordered to the cat's health audit, all the guys did something or other and brought their cats and almost all the cats were looking healthy except this Tenalirama's cat. That cat was almost dying; only one layer skin was around its bones.

The King asked him, 'What happened to your cat?'

Tenalirama said, 'I don know. This cat is not drinking the

milk at all" King said, 'How will a cat not drink milk? I am

surprised.'

Tenalirama exclaimed, 'if you want keep the milk and see!'

The King ordered a cup of milk and the moment the cat saw the milk, it just ran away, it just disappeared. King was surprised but he knows this Tenalirama is a smart cunning person.

So, after a while the King calls Tenalirama separately and asks, 'Tell me, there must be some secret. I just want to understand the secret. I will not punish you.'

Then, Tenalirama says, 'First time when I gave milk to the cat, I kept hot, boiling milk. The first experience was such a strong saṁskāra (pattern),

it got recorded into the cat.'

Understand just like the cat, if it gets disturbed, the wrong saṁskāra (thought pattern) gets printed in it. For its whole life, wherever this cat sees any milk and not just milk any other white object, it will disappear from the field. Same way, if you burn the tongue by abusing the Master, it gets recorded by judging or abusing.

I tell you, even if you don't meet the Master it is perfect. It is like being unmarried, you are open, available. No problem. But if you create the saṁskāra (pattern) of bitter divorce, then naturally, if you had a bitter divorce, next person will take more time to decide whether to live with you. The person is going to wait, think, look, take little more time. It is the same thing, understand.

One more thing. Listen. That is the reason, whenever people come to me from different Masters I tell them, 'never abuse them. Stop complaining about them. Don't compare me with them. Don't judge. They added something to you, that is why you came to this level. If I add something to you, you may raise to the next level.

If I am able to lead you to the ultimate, I am your Sadguru. At some point you feel that somebody else can add something more to you, then I am not your Satguru, but at least I have led you to that person. I have evolved you to that level.

So, be very clear, never abuse. Even if you suspect somebody is enlightened, don't abuse. Don't abuse. Don't judge. If you abuse, the file gets completely marked, not by somebody else, by yourself. You will carry that mental set-up, that root-pattern whenever you go to any Master, not only in this janma (birth) but any janma, your file will always be kept in pending, always kept in pending.

Catching the Master is the ultimate. If you can't catch the Living Guru at least miss its okay, nothing wrong in it. When you find time come back. I will wait for you. Perfectly all right. But never ever do the mistake of abusing. Abusing is the worst thing. Try to catch, that's the first.

So the first thing, either you should catch or you should miss, but never abuse. The third option should not be an option at all. It is like an elephant goes to take bath. If he takes bath and comes back, its Catching the Guru. If he doesn't want to take bath and comes back, it's Missing the Guru. If he takes all the mud and puts it on itself instead of the water and comes back, it is abusing the Guru.

So, understand, Living around, catching and missing the Guru.

41. One'S Order Of Life, One'S Caste (Position By Birth) And Growing Reputation And Prosperity In Society, And Other Worldly Attractions, Renouncing All Of This, One Should Thus Take Complete Shelter Under His Guru.

42. When One Resides In Guru'S Eternal Consciousness, Always Fixed In Undeviated Remembrance Of The Guru And None Other, One Attains The Supreme Bliss Easily. Therefore, By Every Possible Effort, Worship And Adore Your Guru.

notes: Guru aradhana, worship of guru includes personal service renedered to him, living his Truths, and enriching world with His teachings.

43. Knowledge Is Situated In The Guru'S Mouth Or Organ Of Speech, GuruvaktṛA, And This Knowledge Is Attainable By Devotion Onto The Guru, Gurubhakti. In The Three Worlds, This Fact Is Clearly Enunciated By Divine Sages (DevarṣIs), Ansectors (PitṛAs) And Learned Men.

(feeling conencion satsang)

44. The Letter 'Gu' Denotes Darkness (Ignorance Or AjñāNa) And The Letter 'Ru' Denotes Light (Tejas Or JñāNa). Brahman Who Is Capable Of Swallowing Up The Ignorance Is Certainly The Guru, Without A Doubt.

45. 'GukāRa' Sound Means The Disease Of Birth And Death. 'RukāRa' Sound Means The Destroyer Of Births And Deaths. The One With The Power Of Destroying The Disease Of Birth And Death (Bhavaroga), Is Known By This Significant Name—'Guru'.

Part 2: Guru Gita_English_part_2.md

Note: abhidhiyate: signifant, meaning; iti- this, , stan-roar, resound nirodhakṛt destroyer

46. The Letter 'Gu' Denotes That He Is Beyond The Three Attributes (GuṇāTīTa) And 'Ru' Denotes That He Is Beyond The Forms. Because He Is Free From Attributes (GuṇAs) And Forms (RūPa), He Is Called 'Guru'.

gukāraḥ prathamo varṇo māyādi-guṇa-bhāsakaḥ | rukāro-asti paraṁ brahma māyābhrānti-vimocanaṁ || 47 ||

47. The First Syllable Of The Word 'Guru', 'Gu' Causes To Manifest The Illusion (MāYā) And The Attributes (GuṇAs). 'Ru' Is The Supreme Consciousness, Para Brahma That Removes The Illusion And Delusion.

Note: (gu-manifests, ru-is the unmanifest)

48. Thus The Space Of Guru'S Feet, Gurupada, Is Ultimate And Greatest, Which Is Rare For Even The Devas (Gods) To Attain. It Is Worshipped By GaruḍA, Serpents, Gandharvas, Siddhas, And The Gods.

50. The SāDhaka Should Present To The Guru Seats, Bedding, Clothing, Vehicles, Ornaments, Etc., Conducive To His Satisfaction.

karmaṇā mansā vācā sarvadārādhayed-guruṁ | dīrghadanḍaṁ namaskṛtya nirlajjo gurusannidhau || 51 ||

51. One Should, In Action, Thought And Word, Always Worship The Guru. In The Guru'S Presence, Without Any Shame, Worship Him With Full Prostrations (DanḍAvat), Placing The Whole Body Flat Like A Stick In Front Of The Guru.

[Guru-sannidhau – Guru's presence (sannidhua- dual linga)- mean just between Guru & disciple. ]

52. Surrender Everything To The Guru. The Body, The Senses, The Life Energy (PrāṇA), The Wealth, One'S Own Relations, The Self, Wife, Etc.,—All These, Everything You Hold Dear, Should Be Offered To The Sadguru.

[Dāra – wife (ātma-dāra-adi)]

Rāmakṛṣna is one of the greatest Masters. He says very clearly, 'For Enlightenment, for Guru, for spirituality, you can give up any relationship, anybody, anything! No karma comes to you!'

A personality like Rāmakṛṣna who always stood in the space of Truth, he himself declares very clearly, 'For Guru, for spirituality, for enlightenment, anything can be given up. But don't give up Guru for

anything!' So, don't give up the Guru for anything.

53. The Guru, Is Indeed, The Whole Universe, Consisting Of Brahma, ViṣṇU, śIva Consciousness In His Being. There Is Nothing Greater Or Beyond The Guru. Therefore, Worship The Guru Devotedly.

[Ātmakaam – consisting of the nature of, composed of, consciousness, samPūjāyed – do Pūjā. ]

55. By The Mere Remembrance Of Whom, The Knowledge (Of The Self) Dawns In One By Itself; He (The Guru) Only Is One'S Entire Wealth. Therefore, Worship The Guru.

Understand, for the few people who have done great charity, God gives wealth. For the few people who always do good, He gives power. For the few people who share food, He gives them grains. For the few people who are able to bring up the kids as good citizens of the society, He gives sanntāna, children. Only for a few, He gives Himself as Guru!

Many get His wealth; many get His land; many get His properties; many get His powers; very few get Śiva Himself as Guru! Understand, the moment you are My disciple, you are the favorite inheritor of the Cosmos! Be very clear!

Understand, I wanted all of you to radiate enlightenment, to radiate Advaita with all its powers and Siddhis. Never have the beggar mentality of acquiring or accumulating Siddhis. It is like you steal in your own father's mango garden. No! You own it! The moment you are my disciple, I tell you, you own the whole Cosmos! You are the favorite inheritor of the Cosmos—brahmanyam bahuputratām!

You don't move with the idea of acquiring Siddhis, with the beggar mentality. Be very clear, it is your nature—wake it up! Know very clearly, it is your nature; you don't need to accumulate, acquire. Start thinking and acting from the context of Advaita. Start thinking and acting from the basic truth of Advaita; automatically, these Siddhis will start expressing! You will be radiating the Siddhis!

56. O Beautiful-Faced PāRvati, Know This Body As Transitory, The Abode Of Pains, Full Of Worms, Blood, Faecal Matter, Urine And Other Foul Smelling Things.

[Note: the contents of the physical body are enumerated here to create dispassion in the minds of Sadhaka. ]

57. Those Who Have Climbed The Worldly Tree Of SaṁSāRa, Fall Into The Ocean Of Hell (Narak). Surrender To That śRīGuru Who Uplifts All Of Those Fallen Ones (Patita).

Tasmai - ; Namah; Namah: is not prostations, it is surrender (na ma ahnot I am )

59. Surrender To That śRi Guru, Who With The Collyrium Stick Of Wisdom Shows The Supreme State Of Brahman To The One Blinded By The Darkness Of Ignorance (AjñAna).

Please listen.

Let me tell you a story narrated by a great Sadhu who lived in Tiruvannamalai, Sadhu Om. Tiruvannamalai is not only the place for great Masters, well-known Masters like Ramaṇa Mahaṛṣi, Seśādri Swamigal, Yogi Rāmsurat Kumār and in the modern day, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM! It is not only the place for well-known Masters, it was also

a place for great Sadhus who just lived doing tapas (penance) and left the body, not known to the world. So, Sadhu Om was not much known to the world, but he was a great Sadhu.

Listen to the story narrated by him.

Every morning, a father and his seven-year-old son go for a walk outside their house.

One day morning, suddenly, the son started getting frightened seeing an old tree. He just stood in a corner saying, 'Oh, it is a ghost. It is a ghost.' He started shivering, crying, and holding the father, screaming, telling the father, 'please take me away from here. Take me away from here. That is a ghost.'

Please listen, if the father is trying to comfort the child and for the comfort of the child if the father is taking away the child from that tree, I tell you, it is equivalent to me (Guru) giving up on you. That is the worst thing that can happen in your life.

Even if you go to hell, don't be given up on by Guru; you will simply come out. If you are not given-up on by Guru, even if you go to Hell, you will come out just like that. Hell fire won't be able to touch you. If you are given up on by the Guru, even Heaven will burn you. There are tons of people who are suffering in Heaven. Indra (king of heaven) himself is suffering in heaven because he can't go anywhere else. And Heaven is the most unstable place; it was cursed by the Ṛṣis (sages). That is why, whenever you feel any pleasure, you will always feel the insecurity–'Will it be there or not?' The pleasure and insecurity always go hand in hand.

Understand, if you are not given up on by the Master, even Hell cannot touch you; even if you are in Hell, hell fire cannot touch you; you will come out of it. If you are given up on by the Master, even Heaven will be the worst hell, suffering.

If that father takes away the child for the comfort of the child, saying, 'Oh my son, don't worry. You are crying, you are afraid of that ghost, don't worry, I will take you away'—if he takes away the child, it is literally destroying the child, because the child will never know the truth that the

tree is not ghost.

If you take away the child, just for the sake of comfort of the child, he may not be now afraid of this tree, but tomorrow he is going to be afraid of seeing some other tree. His whole life he is going to suffer with that pattern. This father, who did not take the responsibility of making the child understand and complete with that pattern, he is responsible for the child's whole life suffering.

A real father, what he should do? He should carry the child in his hands and say, 'My dear son, don't worry. The ghost cannot do anything to you. I am protecting you. Come on, I will take you near.' He should carry the child near the tree.

Naturally, when you carry the child near the tree, what will the child do? It will just hold you tightly and cry, shout and hide behind you. Sometimes the child may even beat you. You can console the child, but you have no right to take the child away from the tree without removing that fear pattern.

You have to take the child near slowly, slowly and show him, 'see...see...see. You can see this tree. See I am standing near the tree, nothing is happening to me.' Then the child will slowly open one eye and see and then close the eyes again fearing it may be ghost.

Then, slowly, it will open the other eye and see; then he will have little comfort and feel a little okay, 'Oh, it is not a ghost...!'

Father should say, 'Yes my son. Who told you this is a ghost?'

Then the child will start blaming, 'my friend told me yesterday because I did not give him the candy. He told me this is the ghost and it will catch me.' Then the father's responsibility is removing that misunderstanding, ignorance also. 'No, my son, don't worry. Because people tell, don't take things. Look in. See.'

Then slowly the father is supposed to take the hand of the child and make that child's hand touch that tree 'See, it is only a tree.'

Understand. Only this knowledge is what Mahādeva is explaining here:

Opening Your Eyes With The Knowledge KāJal, The Knowledge Eye-Liner—JñāNa Anjana, And Helping You To See The Truth.

Please understand, in Vedic tradition, the eyeliner (anjana) is not just a make-up or the dressing up material. It is made out of a ghee lamp.

Do you know how originally the eyeliner is made? The ghee (clarified-butter) lamp is made to burn. The pure cotton and the pure ghee, cow ghee lamp is burnt and you are supposed to stare at that lamp through your cakṣu—the third eye (the energy

center between the eyebrows). The energy of the third-eye should be stored in that fire. And when the smoke settles from that fire, that is made as kājal or anjana, the eyeliner. When that eyeline is used, it is healthy for your eyes physically, and the energy of the third-eye is constantly made to work in both the eyes also. It is a physical and spiritual medicine.

So, originally the Masters are supposed to sit and stare at the lamp, make Kājal, energize it and share it with the disciples; for the disciples to always have the power of Guru's third eye. The 'Kājal', the eyeliner was a gift by the Enlightened Masters to open, to awaken the disciples from their incompletions, their ignorance, ajñāna.

Tea was the gift by Bodhidharma. He just tore both his eyelids, threw them on the field and the plant that grew from that field is a tea-leaf plant. It is the gift of Enlightened Masters to their disciples.

That is why Mahādeva is singing the glory of Guru. Surrender to that Guru who awakens the third-eye with His knowledge eye-liner, His power of third-eye.

AjñāNa-TimirāNdhasya JñāNa-AnjanaśAlāKayā | CakṣUrunmīLitaṁ Yena Tasmai śRigurave Namaḥ || 59

Please understand, the father should have done this job for the son—taking the son, finally making him touch that tree. Finally, the result should be that the child should be completely free from the fear, he should get down from the father's shoulders and hug the tree, be comfortable with the tree. That is exactly supposed to be the result. Only then the child is free from the anxiety and adamancy, anxiety and arrogance. Please understand, many of our fathers did not do this job, unfortunately either because we did not allow or they did not do. Sometimes they did not have the patience to do or we did not allow them to do.

In my case also some of the kids are not allowing me to do this job. Sometimes the children don't allow the father to do this job.

Listen. Listen. When you do not allow the father to do this job or the father did not do this job, the loss is for you; your whole life you will be suffering with the deadly combination of anxiety and adamancy, anxiety and arrogance. Please understand, alcohol separately does not kill you; sleeping pill separately does not kill you; anti

depressant separately does not kill you. But the cocktail of all these three patterns simply kills you immediately.

Anxiety pattern separately does not destroy you. Arrogance pattern separately does not destroy you. Taking decision during the anxiety and arrogance does not destroy you separately. But all these three patterns together is a deadly combination that destroys you.

Please understand, the arrogance pattern does not destroy you. There are so many people living with arrogance pattern. The anxiety pattern does not destroy you. There are so many people with anxiety pattern who are taking some anti-anxiety medicines and living; they don't get destroyed. There are some people who take major decisions during the anxiety; even they don't get destroyed. But all these three patterns together is a deadly combination; it just destroys you for ages.

Understand, some of the decisions you make when all these three are together— anxiety, arrogance, and making decision during the anxiety and arrogance, when the anxiety and arrogance joins, it will make you believe as if this anxiety is never going to end, this is the way exactly your whole life is going to be, which is not true. No! It is not going to be this way forever. The moment you stand in the Space of Completion, the whole thing is going to be different.

Understand, till you get out of that anxiety pattern, that incompletion, your life is going to be hell; but your life is not going to be Hell forever. The Hell is made by your incompletions. Sometime, unfortunately, you start believing the incompletion is going to be the inevitable part of your life, which is not true.

Incompletion will become inevitable part of you, when you know? If the father does not attend to that child and instead says, 'Okay! Oh son, you are so afraid, don't worry. Let us go back to the house.' If he just brings the child back to the home and locks the child inside the home saying, 'see now we are comfortable. No ghost, nothing,' then naturally the child will stop crying. He will feel comfortable. Only then anxiety is going to be the lifestyle of that child. Because, now, everywhere, anywhere he sees the tree, he is going to be shouting, screaming, 'Bhūta! Būta! Būta! Ghost! Ghost! Ghost!'

Please listen. In all of you, unfortunately, whoever did not have a Living Enlightened Guru to bring you up–it means, literally every one of you, other than me. I had the fortune and my Gurukul kids have the fortune. I had the fortune of three Enlightened Beings bringing me up. And my Gurukul kids are having the fortune of an

Incarnation bringing them up. Other than me and my Gurukul kids, all of you carry that frightened, arrogant child inside you.

Please complete with that child. Every day, whenever you remember, let your thinking be directed towards completing the child inside you. Complete that child, which is anxious, frightened, arrogant, who tells you, 'I don't know what I will do next, but I don't want to be here.'

Wherever you go, whatever you do, the child will be doing only that —'I will not be here. I will not be here. I don't want to be here.'

'Then where you want to be?'—'That I don't know.' 'What will you do?'—'I will face when it comes.' 'When it comes, have you faced now?'—'No I have not faced.' 'Then how are you going to face tomorrow?'—'No. All that I don't know. Don't ask me too many questions. I just don't want to be here.'

Please Listen. Look In.

That frightened, anxious, arrogant child inside you, that is responsible for all the suffering in your life. It goes on instigating you. It goes on pushing you. It goes on torturing you. Please listen. Every night, sit with that child. Understand, every incompletion you have now is from that child, illogical. From that time you have started building this pattern. Why you are carrying it? Nobody knows.

Every day, sit and see the incompletions you are carrying. Trace them back to that frightened child inside you, and see how you were building the same patterns from that age till now and suffering with it. The moment you recognize, that pattern's power will be lost; it will lose power over you; it will become powerless. Now completing that pattern and dropping will be very easy for you, because you have taken away life. Once the life is taken away burning that body is very easy.

The moment you recognize that frightened child in you it will lose its power over you. the deadly combination of frightened, arrogant child and taking decision during that frightened arrogant moment, that is a deadly combination of alcohol, anti-depressant and sleeping pill. Don't take that. It will separate you from the Master.

Everyone who missed the great fortune of directly being attended by the Master Surgeon who removes the cancer of birth and death, everyone who ran away from

His surgery table half-way, mid-way, before starting, before stitching or during surgery, everyone unfortunately took this deadly combination of

alcohol, sleeping pill, anti-depressant—means the deadly combination of frightened anxiety, arrogance and taking decision during that frightened arrogance. These three incompletions put together is a deadly combination. Don't do it. Don't have it.

I tell you, I may have many thousands of children, I will carry all you guys on my shoulder and take you near that tree and make you all understand that the tree is not ghost. I will make you all climb on that tree, and play in that tree, enjoy in that tree, tie a swing and jump around that tree, and live—be complete.

Understand, never ever allow these three deadly combination to settle inside you. That is the most powerful incompletion that may destroy you beyond repair. If you just take alcohol, you will get out. Doctor can clear you with some medication. If you just take sleeping pills, stomach wash is enough, you will be out. If you just take anti depressant, you will sleep and get out; no problem. But all these three will be a deadly combination.

In the same way, if you are just arrogant, no problem. Master knows, He will make life will teach you. If you are just anxious, frightened, His love will heal you. But if you have all the three deadly combination–frightened, arrogant and making decisions– with these three patterns, you may damage yourself beyond repair.

So, heal, complete that frightened, arrogant child in you, which is adamant to make decisions when it is frightened, when it is in the space of anxiety. Complete with that child. When you close your eyes and go to bed, you should not even be able to remember that child in you. It means that in the young age how you felt frightened and felt the anxiety about everything, even that memory should not be there in you; to that level complete it. Complete every day, every night; whenever you get a chance, complete.

Om pūrṇamadaḥ pūrṇamidaṃ pūrṇāt pūrṇamudacyate | pūrṇasya pūrṇamādāya pūrṇameva avaśiṣyate ||

(add translation of mantra)

Every night and even during the daytime do completion. See, in the modern world nobody works more than two or three hours a day. The

remaining time your mind is available to you. So, always, let your thinking be towards the Completion. Every

incompletion you have, fear you have, anxiety you have, trace back and see how that frightened child is carrying that incompletion. The moment you understood, now you just need to re-live and complete it and drop it. If you can close your eyes in the daytime, close and re-live and complete and drop. If you can't close your eyes, then tell yourself, 'Please wait. In the night I will attend to you' and at night before going to sleep—sit and relive, complete and drop.

60. Surrender To That śRi Guru, By Whom The Whole Universe Comprising Of The Indivisible Consciousness Pervades Every Moving And Unmoving Creation, And Who Has Brought To Vision, 'That' Supreme Consciousness—Tat Pada.

sthāvaraṁ jangamaṁ vyāptaṁ yatkincita-sacarācaraṁ | tvaṁpadaṁ darśitaṁ yena tasmai śrigurave namaḥ || 61 ||

61. Surrender To That śRi Guru, Who Reveals The Real Significance Of 'Tvaṁ Pada', Which Pervades The Animate And Inanimate Creation, The Moving And Unmoving Here.

(Whatever is moving and unmoving here and that which pervades whatever is there with life and without life, to that ŚriGuru who reveals these and the real significance of tvaṁpada, I surrender.)

63. Having Perceived The Self, Who Is śIva, One Frees Himself (From The Shakles Of MāYā) Within A Second Or Half-A-Second By Following The Words Of Guru. Surrender To That śRiguru.

(svātmānam)

64. Surrender To That śRi Guru, Who Is Eternal, Peaceful, Unattached, Full Of Knowledge, Beyond The Stages Of NāDa, Bindu, Kalā And Who Transcends Space, āKāśA.

[Notes: by saying that he transcends Ākāśa, it is meant that he transcends all the 5 elements-earth, water, fire, air, and ether. Nāda Bindu, Kalā are the stages prior to creation of the Universe. The meaning here is that Guru is beyond all the 3 stages, The disciple, by Guru kripā, is able to transcends the different srages and soar high in the realms of eternal bliss. (nirmalam darsitam yena- is another version in the secondd half of the verse). ]

66. He Is The Father, He Is The Mother, He Is The Relative And God To Free Us From The Delusion Of SaṁSāRa; Therefore I Surrender To śRiguru.

Please understand, I am your father, mother, friend, beloved and something more. I am the father and mother of your possibility. I am father and mother of what will happen out of you. I am friend and beloved of your possibility.

I am not father and mother of 'you'; I am father and mother of 'your possibility'. I cannot reject your love; it is so beautiful, even though mixed with lot of ignorance and innocence. When a cub brings grass to the lion, lion cannot eat the grass. It will be laughing inside. But it cannot reject the grass because it is mixed with the possibility of 'you.'

I am your father and mother. I cannot reject your love. Same way I cannot accept it. If I accept your love, you will accept you as you are now, which is not the right thing. You will not look up and grow into your

possibility.

Understand, I need to accept your love but I need to constantly remind you, you need to become your possibility, I am beloved of your possibility not you. Whenever you expand towards your possibility, you will always see, 'me' just taking you to my heart as a Mother, Father, Beloved and more.

Whenever you try to shrink 'me' to your level—see, first of all there is no 'you' and 'me.' Once you become ashramite, there is only thing, the relationship between you and me, lives through you. If the relationship is flowering, you are joyful. If that relationship is shrinking, shrinking, you are in pain. I tell you, there is no 'you' actually. Of course, long before, there is no 'Me', I have disappeared. The moment you become ashramite, you are also disappearing. There is no 'you' and 'me.' Then

what is living in you? The relationship between 'you' and 'me' is only living in you. If the relationship is flowering, you are happy. If it is not flowering, you are suffering. But, there is no separate you.

Whenever you raise to the level of your possibility, the relationship becomes very sweet and beautiful. Whenever you go down, shrink from your possibility, the relationship becomes bitter. Understand, that bitterness goes to your core. Whether my love or my anger, it goes to your core; a smile or a stare, it goes to your core. My smile can make your very being flower, your root flower. When I stare, your very gut will shiver. My staring will never be usual. My love will never be usual. It is alive, living. You might have had ten-thousand hugs, but ten-thousand-one hug will be new and fresh and alive. I might have stared at you one-lakh times, but one-lakh-one staring will be fresh, alive and shivering, frightening. Understand, I have to do the job of neither rejecting you nor accepting you. Human being cannot do this job. Either he falls in love or hates, that's all.

Here I have to completely keep you in my heart and just cut and do the surgery to remove the cancer, remove the tumor. I cannot reject your love and I cannot accept it. Hot love always turns into anger. Your love is too hot. The hot feeling of security always turns as a deep insecurity. The hot fear means —if I have all this, this and this, only then I have security. Security with legs will always become handicap; love that is hot

will always become hatred.

Love should have tremendous coolness like Gaṇgā, flowing. In some Purāṇas (historical happenings) they say that Gaṇgā is one more wife of Śivā. No! Śivā made Sati (Devī) into Gaṇgā and then keeps her. Sati is too hot. Dakshāyaṇi is too hot. He makes her into Gaṇgā. Then she can always be Ardhāṇgini, part of Śivā.

Whether you are in a male body or a female body, understand, once you are ashramite, nothing else lives in you, except the relationship between me and you. When that is flowering, you are flowering; when that is shrinking, you are shrinking, that's it.

Yatsattven Jagatsatyaṁ YatprakāśEna BhāTi Yat | YadāNandena Nandati Tasmai SrīGurave Namaḥ || 67

(yat-by whose)

67. By Whose Existence This World Appears To Be True, By Whose Light (Knowledge) The World Is Illumined, By Whose Bliss All Individual Bliss Is Possible; To That śRiguru I Surrender.

yasmin sthitamidaṁ sarvaṁ bhāti yadbhānrūpataḥ | priyaṁ putrādi yatprītyā tasmai srīgurave namaḥ || 68 ||

68. That In Which This Entire Universe Exists, By Whose Light Everything Is Illumined Here, By Whose Delight And Love, The Son, Etc., Are Dear To Us, To That śRī Guru I Surrender.

(yasmin- that in which (jisme)

Notes: that sat-cit-ananda aspect in which everything is delighting in this world— that aspect is the Guru in reality.)

yenedaṁ darśitaṁ tattvaṁ citta-caitayādikaṁ tathā | jāgṛt-svapna-suśuptyādi tasmai srīgurave namaḥ || 69 ||

69. By Whose Power We See Everything Here, By Whose Power The Mind, The Intellect, Citta, Etc., Function, By Whose Intelligence The Different States Of Waking (JāGṛAt), Dreaming (Svapna), Deep Sleep (SuśUpti) Are Cognized, To That śRiguru I Surrender.

yasya jñānamidaṁ viśvaṁ na dṛiśyaṁ bhinna-bhedataḥ | sadaika-rūpa-rūpāya tasmai srīgurave namaḥ || 70 ||

70. Whose Knowledge Is This Universe, In Whom Differences Of Sight And Seen Do Not Exist, Who Is Ever Established In The Knowledge Of Oneness (Advaita), To That śRiguru I Surrender.

yasya – whose (jiska)

Established In The Single Undivided BhāVa (Knowledge) Of The Self, To That śRī Guru, I Ever Surrender.

(truth of Brahman and Advaita. Add content from freedom from the known & unknown satsangs.. etc.. searching)

72. He Who Is The Cause Of All, Yet Appears To The World As The Effect, I Surrender To Him Who Shares The Nature Of Both Cause And Effect.

Notes: Brahman, though It is the cause of everything, appears to be the effect (the world).

73. This World Of Diverse Forms, In Whom Does Not Appear Diversity, Who Shines As The Cause And Effect Of Everything, To That śRīGuru I Surrender.

(content on Guru established in space of Advaita. As cause & effect.)

(Note: when the atman is realized, diversity vanishes. The jñāni of self-realization sees no diversity anywhere. He feels and says like the great self-realised Sage SadāŚiva Brahman of Nerur (Trichy dist.) – sarvam brahmanmayam re re sarvam brahmamayam-everything is Brahman O man, everything is Brahman". Where has the world of diversity disappeared which was appearing to me till now? Asks the jñani of realization.)

75. He Who Breaks The Bonds Of Karma Acquired In Countless Births By The Power Of The Fire Of Knowledge, I Surrender To That śRīGuru.

śoṣeṇaṁ bhavasindhauśca dīpenaṁ kśarasampadāṁ | guroḥ pādodakaṁ yasya tasmai srīgurave namaḥ || 76 ||

In Life.

(Notes: the literal meaning of 'dipanam kśara sampadam" is that it brightens the wealth and possessions of the disciple-money, property and all prosperity of a worldly nature.)

77. There Is No Greater Truth Than The Guru, No Greater Penance Than The Guru, No Knowledge Greater Than The Guru. I Surrender To That śRī Guru.

(in chapter 2, Mahādeva says, tapas is trust in Guru. Link these 2 verses)

GururāDiranāDiśCa Guruḥ Paramdaivataṁ | Gurumantrasamo NāSti Tasmai SrīGurave Namaḥ || 79 || 79. Guru Is The Foremost And The First. He Is Without A Beginning. Guru Is The Supreme Reality And The Deity. There Is No Mantra Equal To The Mantra Of The Two Syllables Called 'Guru' Even As The One-Syllable 'OmkāRa' Is Brahman. Therefore, Surrender To That śRī Guru.

eka eva paro bandhurviṣame samupasthite | guruḥ sakaldharmātmā tasmai srīgurave namaḥ || 80 ||

80. He (Guru) Is The Only One Supreme Relative And Friend In The World When One Is Faced With Adverse Situations; And He (Guru) Is The Embodiment Of All Righteousness, Dharma. Therefore, Surrender To That śRī Guru.

Atmasvarpa -

81. This Universe Is Situated In The Guru And The Guru Is In The Midst Of The Universe; This Universe Itself Is Guru And Nothing Else. To Such śRī Guru I Surrender.

bhavāraṇya-praviṣṭasya diṇmohabhṛāntacetasaḥ | yena sandarṣitaḥ panthāḥ tasmai srīgurave namaḥ || 82 ||

82. To one confused in the forest of transmigration about the directions etc., the one who shows the right path, to that ŚrīGuru I surrender.

tāpatrayāgni-taptānām-aśāntaprāṇināṃ bhuvi | Yasya pādodakaṃ gaṇgā tasmai srīgurave namaḥ || 83 ||

83. Afflicted By The Three Kinds Of Fires (Adhi-VyāDhi, UpāDhi), The Restless Incomplete Beings On Earth Wander Aimlessly. To Such Beings, The Feet-Washed-Water Of The Guru—GurupāDokam, Is Really GaṇGā. Therefore, Surrender To The śRī Guru.

(Notes: adhyatmika, adhibhautika, adhidaivika are the 3 kinds of afflictions man is subjected to here. Adhyatmika tapa is diseases of the body, adhibhautika is inflicted by creatures like scorpion etc. Adhidaivika tapa is suffering caused by divine agencies like flood, thunder, hear, earthquake, etc.)

(gurureva para gaṇgā-is another version of the first half of 2 nd verse.)

84. For Those Bitten By The Cobra Of Ignorance There Is No Doctor Other Than The Guru Who Alone Knows The MahāMantra Of Right Knowledge (Of The Self).

Notes: another version of same verse

Ajñānenahina grastah praninastan chikitsakah Vidyasvarupo bhagavan tasmai srīgurave namaḥ

(meaning: 2 nd line; 'one who is the form of knowledge and the Lord, to that Guru, I surrender).

In the world we find that for a man bitten by cobra, one who is well-versed in the mantra sastra is seen to be able to nullify the effect of poison by chanting the Garuda mantra. The patient survives. This can be done only by a mantra-siddha. So, also a Srotriya and Brahmaniṣta Guru alone can save one from the ocean of samsāra and he is the Sadguru. )

World, The Bridge To Cross The Ocean Of SaṁSāRa And The Source Of All Knowledge And Sciences.

Notes: bridging of the ocean is impossible. But the ocean of saṁsāra is bridged by the Guru. With the Guru, impossible becomes possible.

86. The Root Essence Of Meditation Is GurumūRti, The Guru'S Form; The Primeval Root Of Worship Is Gurupada, The Guru'S Feet; The Original Root Of Chanting The Sacred Syllable (Mantra) Is GuruvāKya, The Guru'S Word. The Root Cause Of Liberation Is GurukṛIpā, The Guru'S Grace.

Note: mokṣa mulam guroḥ kṛipā – alternate verse also popular. Same meaning.

saptasāgaraparyantaṁ tīrthasnānaphalaṁ tu yat | gurupādapayobindoḥ sahastrāśen tatphalaṃ || 87 ||

87. Whatever Merit Is Acquired From Pilgrimage And Bathing In The Sacred Waters Extending To The Seven Seas By One, Cannot Be Equal To Even One Thousandth Part Of The Merit Derived From Partaking The Feet-Washed-Water (GurupāDoka) Of śRī Guru.

Paryantam – end, limit, entirety

Notes: disciple whose faith is firm in the Guru need not take any tedious journeys and pilgrimage to different rivers and oceans and othe sacred places as priscribed in the scriptures. One drop of the Gurupādoka is enough to bestow in him merits acquired by such religious observations. Therefore, what is wanted is śraddha, śraddha.

88. If Lord śIva Becomes Angry, Guru Can Save You. But If Guru Becomes Angry, Nobody Can Save You. Thus, Having Attained The Guru, Always Take Complete Refuge In Him.

kascan – somebody , na kascan - nobody , samyak (g)– completely, fully, eva – thus, labdhva- having attained, having gotten,

(note: here Guru is referred to as Kula Guru. In earlier times, Kula Guru himself was the Enlightened Master. Like Vasista for Lord Ram.)

89. Just As A Bee Thirsting For Honey Goes From One Flower To Another (Till Its Thirst Is Satiated), So Also The Disciple In Quest Of Knowledge Should Approach Different Masters.

Note: to find the perfect Master. Student must not be satisfied with the knowledge attained and must ever be in quest of knowledge. Dattatreya with many Masters (read book for rest of notes).

GURU'S FEET IS AKIN TO SIVA-SHAKTI SHINING AS WHITE & RED (beautiful merging of Guru Tattva with Siva-Shakti Tattva)

90. I Worship The Two Feet Of The Guru, Endowed With The Effulgence Of śIva-śAkti Prabhā, The Supreme Consciousness, Differentiated By The White And Red Colors, And Which Are Beyond The Reach Of Speech (VāṇGa), Mind (Mana) And The Senses.

[Notes: in this verse there is a beautiful merging of the Guru Tattva and the Siva-Sakti Tattva. The fact that the Siva-Sakti tattva and the Guru Tattva are identical is what is indicated in this verse.

This verse enriches the Sadhaka in meditating deep. The Siva-Sakti Tattva merges into the Guru Tattva. ]

91. 'Gu' Indicates The State Of The Guru Who Is Above The Three GuṇAs And 'Ru' Denotes Freedom From The Shackles Of Forms. One, Who Bestows The State Beyond The Three GuṇAs And The Forms, Is The Guru.

Notes: The Guru is capable of freeing the disciple from the three guṇas. He frees him from the illusion of names and forms also. One who does this for you, he is the real Guru.

92. O Priye (Dear One)! śRī Guru Is Directly śIva Himself Without The Three Eyes. He Is Hari (ViṣṇU) With Two Hands. He Is Again Described As Brahma Without The Four Faces.

Notes: Having 2 eyes, Guru is Śiva, with 2 hands, He is really Hari and having only 1 face, He is Brahma, Though the Guru does not manifest these divine physiology of Brahma, Viṣṇu, Siva, He really represents them all to all disciples.

93. May These Prostrations With Folded Hands Be Unto That Ocean Of Mercy (Guru) By Whose Grace Beings Are Freed From The World (SaṁSāRa) Of Duality And Get Liberation.

ayam – this, yad- by whose; trasaṁsāramuktibhāk: tra-three, protecting, to release or to free; bhāk: who renders, who shares (free/release from samsara (world) by

note: The mention od Guru Kripa is significant. Lord Śiva us overpowered with feelings and He indirectly hints Guru Kripa even though he does not mention the word Guru in this verse.

94. Just As The Blind Do Not See The Rising Sun (Or The Light), People Of Dull Intellect And The Unlucky Do Not See The Supreme Form Of The śRī Guru With The Help Of Discrimination.

[notes: the man of dull intellect fails to behold the effulgent from of the Guru. What is meant here us that the absence of sharp and discriminative intellect one cannot see the real form and glory of the Guru, though he may have spent yers or ages with him.]

96. My Dear One! In Whichever Direction The Holy Feet Of śRī NāTha (Sadguru) Rest, To That Place And Direction Prostrate With Deep Devotion Everyday.

sāṣṭānga-praṇipātena stuvannityaṁ guruṁ bhajet | bhajanāt-sthairyamāpnoti svasvarupamyobhavet || 97 ||

97. One Should Worship His Guru By Daily Performing Full Prostrations (SāṣṭāNga PraṇIpāTa) To Him. By Devoted Worship One Attains Steadiness And Ultimately Realizes One'S Own True Nature.

Note: this is an outward expression of the inner bhāva of disciple. When bhava is lacking, the outer expressions also are absent. The inner feelings are expressed by way one stands, moves, behaves.

bhavet- becomes

98. One Should Prostrate To The Guru Fully Lying Flat On The Round With Both Hands, Legs, Knees, Thighs, Head, By Sight, Mind And Speech. This Kind Of Full Prostration (Where Body, Mind And Senses Are Involved) Is SāṣṭāNga PranāM.

tasyai diśe satatam-anjalireṣa nityam prakśipyatāṁ mukhiritair-madhuraiḥ prasūnaiḥ | jāgarti yatra bhagavān guru-cakravarti

101. By The Devotion Practiced Onto The Guru (Gurubhakti), One Attains The State Of Liberation (Mukti Pada) Even Without Knowledge. For Those Who Tread The Path Of Unflinching Devotion To The Guru, No Other Spiritual Practice (SāDhana) Is Needed Than The Grace Of The Guru (Guru PrasāD).

yasmātparataraṁ nāsti neti netīti vai śrutiḥ | manasā vacasā caiva satyam-ārādhayed guruṃ || 102 ||

104. Even The Devas (Gods), The Kinnaras, Gandharvas—(The Inhabitants In Heavenly Planetary Systems), Pitras, YakṣAs, Tumburu (A Gandharva) And Even The Munis (Sages) Do Not Know The Right Method Of Serving The Guru.

Note: Gandharva – heavenly musicians, Yakṣas (nature spirits who are custodians of treasures) like Kubera (leader of yaska). Pitras (ancestor spirits); guru-śuśṛūṣṇe: service, obedience, homage to Guru.

105. O Dear One! People Who Are Well-Versed In Logical Scriptures (TarkaśAstra), In Vedic Chhandas (Science Of Vedic Meters), Knowers Of Divine Beings Like Gods, Those Versed In Ritualistic Ceremonies (KarmakāṇḍIs) And In Worldly Sciences—None Of Them Know The Guru Tattva In Its Entirety.

[Notes: the thoughts given is continuation of the previous verse. Importance of Guru Tattva.

Tārkika- logicians, nirakulam – clearness, obviousness. ]

106. Because Of Great AhaṁKāRa (Outer-Identity), Pride, Strength Of Penance (Tapas) And Education (Vidyā), (People) Roam About In This World Like The Pots Rotate In A Potter'S Wheel, Repeatedly.

yajño'pi na muktāḥ syūḥ na muktā yoginastathā | tapasā api no muktā gurutattvātparāṇamukhāḥ || 107 ||

107. Neither Those Who Perform Great Sacrifices, Nor Yogis, Nor Those Who Practice Severe Austerities Are Liberated Without The True Knowledge Of Guru Tattva.

na muktāstu gandharvāḥ pitṛyakṣāstu cāraṇāḥ | ṛṣiyaḥ siddhadevādhyāḥ gurusevāparāṇamukhā || 108 ||

108. Those Who Are Averse To The Enriching Service Of The Guru—Guru Seva, Cannot Expect To Be Liberated From The Cycle Of SaṁSāRa (Birth And Death), Even If They Are Gandharvas, PitṛAs, YakṣAs, CāRaṇAs, ṛṣIs, śIddhas Or Devas.

parāṇa - life

iti śrīskandottarkhaṇḍe sanatkumārasaṁhitāyāṁ umāmaheśvara-samvāde śrīgurugītāyāṁ parthamo'dhyāyaḥ || Thus ends the first chapter of Śrī Guru Gītā**, being** Umāmaheśvara Saṁvāda, the dialogue between Uma-Maheśvara (Pārvati-Śiva), which forms the part of Sanatkumār Saṁhita**, in the** Uttarkhaṇḍa**, later section of the** Skanda Purāṇa**.**

109. O MahāDevī, Listen To The Method Of Meditation (On The Guru), The Bestower Of All Bliss, Joy And Happiness. It Is The Giver Of All Worldly Prosperity, Bhukti And Liberation, Mukti And All Kinds Of Happiness.

Note: from 109-125 th verse. The method of meditation on the Guru is prescribed. Bhukti is worldly prosperity and happiness. Mukti is liberation from the cycle of brith and death.

śrīmatparaṁ brahma guruṁ smarāmi śrīmatparaṁ brahma guruṁ bhajāmi | śrimatparaṁ brahma vadāmi śrimatparaṁ brahma guruṁ namāmi || 110 ||

110. I Remember The Guru Who Is śRīMat Parambrahma Himself, I Worship The Guru Who Is śRīMat Parambrahman Himself, I Speak Of The Guru Who Is śRīMat Parambrahma, I Prostrate Onto The Guru Who Is śRīMat Parambrahma.

(namami – prostrate, bow down, offer respectful obeisances)

111. I Adore The Sadguru, The Bestower Of Supreme Happiness, The Bliss Of Brahman, Who Is Knowledge Absolute, The One Without A Second, Who Is Beyond The Pairs Of Opposites, Expansive And Pervasive Like The Sky, The Goal Indicated By The MahāVāKya—Tattvamasi, The One Eternal, Pure, Unchanging, The Witness Of All Functions Of The Intellect, Who Is Above All BhāVas (Feelings) And The Three Arttributes, GuṇAs (Sattva. Rajas, Tamas).

hṛudambhuje karṇikamadhyasaṁsthite siṁhāsane saṁsthitadviyamūrtiṁ | dhyāyedguruṁ candrakalāprakāśaṁ saccitsukhābhīṣtvaraṁ dadhānaṁ || 112 ||

112. The Disciple Should Meditate On The Guru, As Seated On A Divine Throne In The Lotus Of The Heart. He Should Meditate On The Divine Form Of The Guru Emanating Light As Though From The Full Moon. It Is Capable Of Bestowing On The Meditator The Boon Of The Bliss Of Sat (Existence), Cit (Light, Consciousness), And Fulfillment Of Wish.

śvetāmbaraṁ śvetavileppuṣpaṁ muktāvibhūṣaṁ muditaṁ dvinetraṁ | vāmāmpīṭhasthita-divyaśaktiṁ mandasmitaṁ pūrṇakṛpānidhānaṁ || 113 ||

jñānasvarūpaṁ nijabhāvayuktaṁ

113.114. I Always Prostrate To The śRī Sadguru Who Is The Yogindra, Fit To Be Worshipped, The Doctor Who Cures The Disease Of Birth And Death, Who Is Everybody Blissful, Who Being Himself Bliss, Distributes Bliss To All, Who Is Everybody Cheerful, Full Of Knowledge, Endowed With The Knowledge Of The Self, Wearing White Apparel, Bedecked With White Flowers, To Whose Left Side Is Seated The Divine śAkti, Who Is With Cheerful Countanence, Who Bestows On All Full KṛIpa-KatāKśA (Kind Graceful Look), And Who Has Two Eyes.

vande guruṇāṁ caraṇārvindaṁ samdarśitasvātma-sukhāṁbudhīnāṁ | janasya yeṣām gulikāyamānaṁ saṁsāra-hālāhala-mohaśāntyai || 115 ||

115. I Adore The Lotus-Feet Of The Masters Who Have Shown Us The Source Of The Eternal Ocean Of Bliss, Born Of The Self Within, Who Have Given Us The Remedy For The Deadlist Poison-HāLāHala Of The World.

(Note: here worship is offered to all the Masters, entire Guru paramparā. Hālāhala is the dealist poison from churning of milky ocean in Srimad Bhagavatam described)

Poison is not a surprise to Mahadeva. There will be people who will have doubts! Mahadeva is complete with being 'Neelakanta', the one who has swallowed the poison, hālahāla and holds it in his throat. People ask, what is the meaning of the symbol of poison in his throat? Neelakanṭa is the symbol that Mahādeva is complete, even with the negative anyakāra. He declares his authenticity, and he is complete with his ahankara, mamakara and anyakara. That is why he is Mahādeva, Śiva! By having the haalahaala poison in his throat, Mahadeva declares,

117. The Guru Is His Holy Lotus-Like-Feet Possesses The Forest-Fire Needed To Burn The Entire SaṁSāRa, Wordly Forest (Of The Disciple) And Has Got In The Crown Of His Head (Brahma-Randra), The Moon-Like Nectar Which Is Capable Of Destroying The Flames Of SaṁSāRa And Bestowing Immortality On The Disciple.

Note: 117, 118 are connected verses

118. One Should Meditate On The Guru Seated In The Thousand-Petalled Lotus Of The TrikoṇA, Three ManḍAla Triangle Where The Trirekhā, Three Lines (Of The Triangle) Describe The āKāRa, KakāRa And ThakāRa.

(Notes: the secrets of manḍala and other details the triangle where the different letters consisting of vowels & consonants are in detail explained in the authoritate books like mantramahodadhi dealing with the entire range of mantra śastras. A mere hint is given here.)

119. That Eternally Pure, Formless, Unattached, Unmanifested, Constant Knowledge Of Eternity, Knowledge-Bliss—To That Guru Who Is Brahma, I Always Offer My Prostrations.

sakalabhuvansṛiṣtiḥ kalpitāśeṣaśṛṣti nirkhila-nigama-dṛiṣtiḥ satpadārthaik-sṛiṣtiḥ |

120.121. May The Divine Vision Of The Sadguru Ever Dwell In Me. The Divya DṛIṣTi Of The Guru Is So Powerful That, On It, Depends The Entire World Creation, On Whom All This Creation Is Superimposed (Seems To Exist), On Whom Depend The Entire Vedic Injunctions And Knowledge, In Whom Rests The Entire Creation; On Whom Depend The Ways Of Brahma And His Creation, Of SamsāRa (Consisting Of Appearance And Disappearence); In Whom Rests The One Path To Liberation, The Support Of Creation Comprising Of So Many Worlds, The Rain Of Whose Merciful Glance Bestows The Knowledge Of The Self, The Vision Of SacitāNanda And All The Creative Existences.

na guroradhikaṁ na guroradhikaṁ na guroradhikaṁ na guroradhikam | śivaśāsanataḥ śivaśāsanataḥ śivaśāsanataḥ śivāśāsanataḥ || 122 ||

123. By The Authority Of ViṣṇU This Alone Is śIva. By The Authority Of ViṣṇU This Alone Is śIva. By The Authority Of ViṣṇU This Alone Is śIva. By The Authority Of ViṣṇU This Alone Is śIva.

viditaṁ viditaṁ viditaṁ viditaṁ vijanaṁ vijanaṁ vijanaṁ vijanam | vidhiśāsanato vidhiśāsanato vidhiśāsanato vidhiśāsanataḥ || 124 ||

124. By The Order Of Brahma This Is The Singular, Unchallengeable Truth. By The Authority Of Brahma This Is The Singular, Unchallengeable Truth. By The Order Of Brahma This Is The One Truth. By The Command Of Brahma This Is The Real Truth.

evaṁ vidhaṁ guruṁ dhyātvā jñānamupadhyate svayam | tadā gurupadeśen mukto'hamiti bhāvayet || 125 ||

125. Thus Meditating On The Guru, Real Knowledge Is Attained By Itself. One Should Then Strongly Feel This, 'By The Instructions Of The Guru I Am Liberated.

(Note: this kind of meditation leads to mukti. The injunction to meditate on Guru and repition of 'muktoham' is the same as the Guru's instructions conveyed in mahavakyas.)

Please listen! Science of Completion. Fire, debt, vengeance and incompletion, even if a little is left, it can swallow you, it can grow and

swallow you! Everything should be completely burnt.

Till you burn, take this vow—

|| na guroradhikam na guroradhikam na guroradhikam śiva-śāsanataḥ ||

It means, 'Nothing more than Guru, Nothing more than Guru, Nothing more than Guru, It is Śiva's teaching".

'Śiva-śāsanataḥ means—it is direct ordainment of Mahādeva, Śiva. I can say this is the only teaching where Mahādeva gives His name to it, He lends His authority to it.

Mahādeva's direct teachings are almost 64,000 verses totally; and there are a few more thousand verses remembered as Mahādeva's teachings, So, all put together we have almost one-lakh verses as Mahādeva's teachings. In these whole one-lakh verses,

nowhere Mahādeva gives His authority to a certain idea, a certain teaching, other than to this word.

Na Guroradhikaṁ Na Guroradhikaṁ Na Guroradhikaṁ Na Guroradhikam | śIvaśāSanataḥ śIvaśāSanataḥ śIvaśāSanataḥ śIvāśāSanataḥ || 122

'Nothing more than Guru, Nothing more than Guru, Nothing more than Guru, This is Śiva's Ordainment, This is Śiva's Ordainment. This is Śiva's Ordainment, This is Śiva's Ordainment'

Guru Gītā is a great book. Mahādeva speaks to Mahādevī about Him. He speaks to Her about Him. He speaks to Her about Him! Nithyānandeśvara speaks to Nithyānandeśvari about Guru. The Guru Gītā is directly spoken by Mahādeva to Mahādevī, Pārvati about Guru.

Please understand, even a little incompletion can creep into you and make everything look as incomplete. Even the little incompletion left without getting completed, like a little fire left without being put-off can

grow and become a forest fire and consume the whole town. A little debt unattended can grow, expand, and become huge debt. A little vengeance left unattended can grow to big war like Mahābhārat War. A little incompletion left unattended can take you away from the Master!

So, understand, till you achieve Completion—na guroradhikam na guroradhikam na guroradhikam śiva śāsanataḥ. After you achieve the Completion—na guroradhikam na guroradhikam na guroradhikam THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM śāsanataḥ.'

After you achieve the Completion, you know, your heart knows, experientially nothing more than Guru. Till you achieve Completion, hold on to this as Mahādeva says, 'Śiva Śāsanataḥ'

(footnote: Nithyānandeśvara, Nithyānandeśvari–presiding chief deities of Śiva and Ḍevi (Mahādeva and Mahādevī Pārvatī) at Nithyānanda Dhyānapīṭham Temples)

Śrī Ramākṛṣṇa gives the example, 'Just one desire for Rossogolla (Hindu sweet savory) is enough to make you come back, take body.' Please understand, one desire for Rossogolla is enough to make you come back and take the body. So, a little

incompletion left unattended also can pull you down to bhūloka (earth) for an ordinary, very ordinary human urge.

127. All Things That Pass Off For Knowledge, All Appearances, Objects Of Knowledge All These Come Within The Realm Of The Mind. Knowledge (JñāNa) And Known (JñEyam) Should Be On An Equal Footing. There Is No Other Way (For Attainment Of Knowledge).

(Note: meanng is 'self is the only reality, all else is illusory")

128. Of What Use Is Too Much Dilation By Crores Of Thousands Of Scriptures Even? Real Peace Of The Citta (Mind) Is Very Rare. How Can It Be Attained Without The Guru'S Grace, Guru-KṛIpā?

karuṇākhaḍgapātena chitvā pāśāṣtakaṁ śisoḥ | saṁyagānandajanakaḥ sadguruḥ so'bhidhīyate || 129 ||

129. He Is The Sadguru Responsible For The Rise Of The Knowledge Of The Self, Who Cuts Asunder, For The Disciple, The Eight Kinds Of Attachment By The Sword Of Mercy— Karuṇā-KhaḍGa.

(Note: doubt, pity, fear, shyness, censure, position in society, high birth and wealth are the 8 kinds of attachment. )

130. Having Heard (The Importance Of The Guru), O MahāDevī, Whoever Indulges In Abusing The Guru Goes To Terrible Hells And Stays There As Long As The Sun And Moon Shine On Earth.

yāvatkalpāntako dehastāvad-Devī guruṁ smaret | gurulopā na kartavyaḥ svacchando yadi va bhaveth || 131

He Has A Body, May Be Till The End Of A Kalpa (World Cycle Of Creation). Neglect Of The Guru Should Never Be Done, Even If One Becomes Independent, A Free Bird.

huṁkāreṇa ca vaktavyaṁ prājñśiṣyaiḥ kadācana | guroragre na vaktavyam-satyaṁ tu kadācana || 132 ||

132. The Intelligent Disciple Should Never Slight His Guru. One Should Never Utter Falsehood In The Presence Of The Guru.

Note: word 'hum; denotes contempt, such words never be used in Guru's presence.

guruṁ tvaṁkṛtya huṁkṛtya gurusānnidhya-bhāṣaṇaḥ | araṇye nirjale deśe saṁbhaved brahmarākśasaḥ || 133 ||

133. To Speak In Front Of The Guru With Disrespect By Using 'Huṁ' And 'Tvaṁ' (Addressing In Singular As Though Lower Or Equal) Is A Great Sin. Such A Person Will Become A Brahma-RāKśAsa In A Forest Or Waterless Place (Desert).

(Note: brahma-rākśasa is a species of Devīls.)

Theistic Advaita, Live Advaita, But In Worship Guru Him Always!

advaitaṁ bhāvayen-nityaṁ sarvāvasthāsu sarvadā | kadācidapi no kuryād-dvaitaṁ gurusannidhau || 134 ||

135. One Should Worship The Feet Of The Sadguru Till The 'Seen' Disappears (Absense Of Duality). To Those Only There Is Liberation And Not To Those Who Act In Contradiction.

(satsang: love of the Master–dvaita, to Advaita, infinty... first need love OF anf FOR before the experience of Advaita =, infinity! )

Please understand, deities are not mere idols; they are embodiment of ideals. We do not worship the idols; we worship the ideals represented through the idols. Again and again, I want to insist and remind people, as long as you have the mamakāra (inner image) that you are with form, you cannot have, you cannot understand, you cannot feel, you cannot experience God without form. It is from your mamakāra, Inner Image that Life-Image will be created. What you think about life, others, God, all that will be reflection of your Inner Image. So, everyone who carries the Inner Image that they have a form–it means everyone other than Enlightened Beings–should know very clearly that their image about life, about God, about Guru also will be with form. So, it is better to accept the reality as it is first, and use the Completion and other methods, and evolve to the space of Advaita.

Understand, it is really important to start from where we are standing. Whether your goal is to reach the Sun, or the Moon, or Mars, you have to start from where you are. You have to start from where you are! Deity worship is not only inevitable, it should not be avoided showing any philosophy. Even a great thinker like Kapila, who is not only the founder of world's first philosophy, Sāṅkhya, but also the first logical thinking being on Planet Earth, could evolve the possible conclusions and probable conclusions using the power of imagination and the probabilities of imagination.

Sāṅkhya is the source of all philosophies and science. Possible, Probable, Imaginable, in all these three directions how our energy can flow without any fear or desire or incompletion blocking our energy, that

whole science was so beautifully developed by Bhagavān Kapila.

Even, He is very clear about meditating, connecting with the form of God. In Bhāgavatam, Kapila Gītā, a beautiful theistic version of Sāṅkhya is expanded and explained so powerfully, so perfectly. Bhagavān Kapila, considered the greatest thinkers, even He is very clear that deity and deity worship should not be avoided; meditating with the form, connecting through the form should not be avoided. I have seen thousands and thousands flower through deity worship. I don't do anything unnecessarily; I don't waste time, energy. If I am promoting deity worship, if I am promoting Guru worship, understand it is directly useful to you. Directly!

Mahādeva is the most worshipped God in the world. Many other Incarnations, Deities, sons of Gods, Prophets, Enlightened beings, Siddhas, Munis, Rṣis, Sages, they all may be 'followed.' But, Mahādeva is the world's largest worshipped God; not just followed, but worshipped, revered. He is most easily accessible; just a little water, one leaf and one small fruit is enough; he is immediately pleased. He answers your questions. He fulfills your requests. He brings Completion! Unimaginable, ultimate being, Mahādeva—worshipping Him through the form, through the deity is the most powerful way of connecting, the most powerful space of connecting, most powerful being.

Listen! Mahādeva is Guru. Guru is the living deity, the living form of Mahādeva!

In the Vedic tradition, we have mastered the science of bringing the Divine to the deities and expressing the Divine through the deities. Understand, connecting through the form of the Guru, the Guru's deity, relating through the Guru's deity is such a powerful spiritual practice. I insist every individual should keep this as a lifestyle; every disciple should keep this as your very being. Because, unless we see the form of Divine as Guru, we do not relate with It; unless we see It in the names, in the embodied form, we do not relate to It. So, relating through the form and the name of the Guru is required as long as you assume that you have a form and name. And the way the Cosmos comes down to grace us when we relate with It through the form, through the living deity, Guru, is such an amazing, unimaginable happening. Fill your life with this!

THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM ("SPH"), Jagatguru Mahasannidhanam ("JGM"), His Divine Holiness ("HDH") Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam, is recognized as the 1008th living incarnation of Paramashiva as per Sanatana Hindu Dharma ("Hinduism") and by His predecessors of enlightened masters and adepts.

The SPH THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM is reviving Hinduism as the 1008th Acharya Mahamandaleshwar (the head for all spiritual leaders) of Atal Akhada (ancient apex body of Hinduism), coronated as Mahamandaleshwar (Supreme Spiritual Head) of

Maha Nirvani Akhada (largest apex monastic order) and the youngest Mahamandaleshwar, ordained as the 233rd Guru Mahasannidhanam (Pontiff) of Thondai Mandala Aadheenam, ordained as the 293rd Guru Mahasannidhanam (Pontiff) of Shyamalapeeta Sarvajnapeetam, ordained as the 23rd Guru Mahasannidhanam of Dharmamukthi Swargapuram Aadheenam, and coronated as the 203rd Emperor of Suryavamsa Surangi Samrajyam.

The Srimad Karana Agama, Purva bhaga, Patala 71, Sakalotpatti vidhi, Sloka 8 & 9 (Sacred Ancient Hindu scripture) declares:

इत्येवं नि ष्कळं प्रो क्तं परं भा वमि ति स्मृतम्। सृष्टि स्थं लो करक्षा र्थं लो कस्यो त्पत्ति का रणम्।। सा धका नां हि ता र्थं तु स्वेच्छया गृह्णते तनुः ।

In this way (Shiva) who is Nishkala - without any body and parts, who is the Ultimate Supreme Being, who is established in the Creation, who is the Cause of the creation of the Universe, assumes a body out of His Free Will for the protection of the Universe, and for the welfare of the Spiritual seekers and Devotees.

THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM is the reigning spiritual emperor of 17 ancient traditional Hindu kingdoms and the reviver of the most ancient, most peaceful, stillliving and long-lasting demonstrable system that shows the possibility of peaceful coexistence amongst people. Following the coronation to establish KAILASA worldwide at the age of 16, for the past 27 years, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, as the face of the unified Hindus, has been single-handedly, tirelessly inspiring the dispossessed Hindu Diaspora to reclaim their Hindu centric freedom and stand unified for the centuries-old Hindu genocide.

The 1008th living incarnation of Paramaśiva, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM stands as the unifying force for the 2 billion born and practicing Hindu diaspora worldwide and established the Hindu State, KAILASA for the persecuted Hindus in over 100 countries.

THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM has made resolute efforts towards recognizing and legitimizing the Hindu genocide which has been receiving scant consideration by global leaders and international bodies, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM founded KAILASA Uniting Nations. For the past 27 years, this international body has been responsible in building relations, bridging dialogs, inspiring leaders, uniting nations towards acknowledging the Hindu policies which are universal, life positive as referenced from the ancient text of Hinduism. This is the 'ahimsa' (non-violent) way of bringing acknowledgment to the horrors of the Hindu genocide, the untold facts of the darkest act of mankind on Earth to the most contributing civilization - KAILASA.

KAILASA is an apolitical nation whose vision is enlightened living for all. Towards this goal, KAILASA is the only Hindu nation on planet Earth today bringing legitimacy to the principles of Hinduism. Social principles, economic principles, judicial principles, Hindu medical principles, and Hindu economic principles. KAILASA is THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM's response to humanity's global problems of poverty, hunger, illiteracy, disease, violence and global warming and the continuing ethnocide and genocide of over 80 million Hindus worldwide since 7 centuries.

Over the last 50 years, the effects of meditation and its significant impact on stress, crime rates, violence, political decision making and even war in local and global consciousness is well established. Unfortunately, in the last two hundred years, forcibly we are made to believe Hinduism is a functional principle only for enlightenment and spirituality. It is absolutely dysfunctional for the political, social, economical system. Making Hindu family structure, Hindu social structure dysfunctional is the greatest crime done against humanity.

Sanatana Hindu Dharma has faced both historical and ongoing religious persecution and systematic violence, in various forms including assassination attempts on living incarnations, targeted elimination of Hindu pontiffs through bio war and lawfare, cyberbullying, Hindu phobia, forced conversions, documented massacres, demolitions, desecration and grabbing of worship temples and monasteries, looting of Hindu temples properties, destruction of Hindu educational institutions, elimination of well known Hindu libraries, the gross violation to the freedom to practice the Hindu school of liberated thinking (Sankhya), Hindu schools of living enlightenment (Jeevan Mukthi), gross violations of the right to freedom of religion that includes violations of the right to life, personal Hindu integrity or personal Hindu liberty, mass execution, looting and enslavement.

Hinduism was once practiced freely in over 56 nations across the continent from Afghanistan, Bharat, Nepal, Burma, Sri Lanka, all the way to Singapore, Malaysia, and Cambodia and Indonesia, and in 200 states, 1700 samasthanas (provinces) and 10,000 sampradayas (traditions). Over several centuries the combined forces of foreign invasion, political upheaval, colonialism and religious persecution systematically ended millennia of Hindu Swarajya, or self-rule. Today Hindu temples remain in a few countries but the Hindus who worshiped in them have been ethnically cleansed.

The revival of Hinduism through the civilizational nation of KAILASA globally irked vested interests of atheistic terrorist militant elements, caste supremacist terrorists and other anti-Hindu forces who executed a massive persecution and genocide on THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and His followers on 2 March 2010 that continued for the next whole decade and comprised of over 70 assassination attempts, over 250 sexual assaults on THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and his monks and disciples, lawfare of 120 false cases over 10 years, massive hate propaganda in electronic media of over 14,000 hours and print media of over 25,000 articles in 5 years, destruction of heritage properties worth over 27 million USD, and the continuing ethnocide and genocide of over 80 million Hindus worldwide since 7 centuries. Specifically, the lawfare involved:

Delegitimizing THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM by hate propaganda, disenfranchising Him of His civil and human rights, prejudicing Him from fair representation and fair trial

Repeated illegal imprisonment, with brazen torture, custodial assassination attempts, supported by system justification in various forms, including the common processes of bureaucracy, indifference, self-deception, diffused responsibility and has resulted in continued systemic complicity with torture, murder and genocide

Well-planned multi-layer false hate propaganda by the 'fourth estate' media sustained by moral disengagement, leaving the broader public in a state of willful ignorance, motivated denial, out-group victim-blaming, dehumanization and bystander apathy to even genocide.

THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM stands in solidarity with the untold, multi-level social, political, intellectual, religious, cultural, linguistic, economic, legal, digital persecution done to Hinduism and faced by Hindus and Hindu minorities worldwide for the past several thousands of years continues through the modern day. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM has been recently acknowledged by the United Nations for the persecution of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and the KAILASA global community, especially the affected women and children.

The KAILASA with de facto spiritual embassies operating across over 100 countries and having presence across the globe as the largest spiritual knowledge source on Hinduism is spiritually governed with the life positive, all-inclusive, universal policies sourced from Hinduism revived by THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. Having enriched and enreached more than one billion individuals over the past 27 years the KAILASA raises the voice to protect Hindus, defend Hindus and preserve the Hindu narrative for the world.
