THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM

THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, is recognized as the 1008th living manifestation of Paramashiva, Paramavatar of Paramaśiva as per Sanatana Hindu Dharma ("Hinduism") and by His predecessors of enlightened masters and adepts.

THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM

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 THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM is the reigning spiritual emperor of 20 ancient traditional Hindu kingdoms and the reviver of the most ancient, most peaceful, still-living and long-lasting demonstrable system that shows the possibility of peaceful co-existence 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 manifestation of Paramashiva, 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.

Hinduism is the most ancient, most peaceful, still-living and long-lasting demonstrable system that shows the possibility of peaceful co-existence amongst people despite fundamental differences in their preferences and realities. 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 last two hundred years, forcibly we are made to believe Hinduism is 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.

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 few countries but the Hindus who worshiped in them have been ethnically cleansed.

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.

In the field of mind, psychology, they are saying you observe, internalize only 2% of what is happening around you! If there are hundred pieces of information,

means visual, sound, you internalize

only two!

The truth of you, the source of you

is not what you hear, but what you

listen!

We really never never listen at all in our life.

When your spouse speaks or when your boss talks to you or when your friend is talking to you. See exactly what you are doing. You are not listening. You are preparing your answer to them. Even before they start talking, you are preparing your answer. That is why your answer never matches their question – because you never heard the question!

At the most you do little stitching and tailoring for that question. Courage to respond spontaneously, to respond to all the situations and patience to listen is called practicing right Listening. For practicing right Listening you need right courage. You need to have patience. First thing you need to have courage that you can respond spontaneously and you need to have patience, deep patience.

"allowing the words to enter in your inner space automatically, letting them cognize without you constantly interfering with your incompletions" , is listening. you have a natural system, natural flow of your being.

Your being is not static. Your being is naturally programmed to imbibe, cognize, internalise. allowing the words to enter into your being naturally & allowing the natural cognition process without you interfering with your incompletions is listening.

Participating with life without tiredness or boredom, the best way to participate with life without tiredness or boredom is "listening"! Other than listening, any other participation will make you tired and bored.

Understand, the word you listen becomes the source of the words you utter towards you and others. especially the words you listen from the source of the source becomes the source of the words you utter towards you and others!

The desperation, the idea you need to defend something, protect something, that aggression, because of that aggression in your inner-space, you go on being active. aggression in your inner-space is you talking to you. Receptivity in your inner-space is you listening to you. You talking to you is always

incompletion. You listening to you is always Completion.

The inability to handle the reality is suffering. The moment you have the ability to handle reality, it is no more suffering. And listening plays a very major role in that. When you don't have listening, you always come to the conclusion before the information is cognized in you.

Whenever you associate yourself with the listening component of you, you get into the space of Completion. Whenever you are in the space of Completion, the consciousness in you stops the aggressive componenet talking and that componenet starts relating with you.

Whenever you get into the space of listening, the Lord will speak to you, Bhagawan will speak to you,Bhagavān Paramaśiva speaks to you, the Advaitha Sathya, the truth of Advaitha speaks to you.

What you experience as you in the deepest corner of you when you are listening to you, not when you are talking to you, but when you are listening to you, what you feel as you. Remove the patterns, remove the thought patterns, remove the root patterns; all this is your aggression towards you. Thought pattern is the speaker, root pattern is the mike. If you remove all that, IN YOUR PURE LISTENING WHAT YOU EXPERIENCE AS YOU, THAT SAME ONLY IS EXPERIENCED AS THEM BY EVERY BEING EXISTING, that is Advaitha Sathya.

In Sanatana Hindu Dharma, we have one of the very powerful methods called "Ajapa Japa" you listening to you chanting. In Ajapa Japa, the aggressive repetition of the name is not given that awareness, attention, energy support, but the pure listening, you just listening. Actually, when you deeply listen to you, the sound which happens, that is the "Ishta Mantra" for you. Sometimes it can be Shiva or Soham, Humsum. Whatever you listen is your Ishta Mantra. In Ajapa Japa, the chanting or repetition, the aggressive action is not emphasised, but the passive listening is emphasised. The passive listening leads you to Complete Completion. The passive listening is the most powerful Completion!

It is neither difficult nor easy, but you have to do it! It is nothing but tuning yourself to a certain frequency. How tuning or changing a channel is neither difficult nor easy, it is a simple technique; same way, go on tuning your thinking to śraddha, authenticity. Always think about your thinking and align your thinking to authenticity

The passive listening is the most powerful Completion! Keep this as the basic rule, the Law of Life: Whenever your energy is put towards talking to you, whenever your energy is put towards talking to you, you are getting into more and more incompletion. How much ever you talk to you, you will be entering into more and more incompletion. But, the more and more you listen to you, you will enter into more and more Completion. Completion process is not talking to you, but listening to you.

The moment you start talking to somebody, when you don't have listening, you start coming to your own conclusions either by rejecting that person or taking that person as a big threat. Both will lead you to suffering. For Example: If you take some joker as a villain, you will be suffering unnecessarily. If you take the villain as a joker, you are neglecting the great problems and big sufferings will come. To gauge a villain as a villain, a comedian as a comedian, you need listening.

The word is not just the word as you think. It is the power which can change your reality! And when you listen it can become the source material of your reality!

Listening out to your mind is "Unclutching". Every day, listening out to your mind before going to sleep is "Completion". Completion is nothing but listening. If you are listening, you will be in the space of Completion. Listen to your physical ailments.

• When you have headache, listen to your head.
• When you have stomach pain, listen to your stomach.
• If you have diabetes, listen to your tiredness.
• If you have blood pressure, listen to your agitation.

Listen to every conflict, every contradiction, every confrontation you face in the life. When you are in the space of Completion, you will be naturally listening without any struggle or effort.

Bring listening; bring listening into your life. Bring listening to your thinking. Bring listening to your words. Bring listening to others' words. Bring listening to the conflicts you are going through. when you don't listen, your mind will behave with you like a politician. When you listen, your mind will behave with you like an enlightened being. If you listen, your own mind will behave with you like an enlightened being. Your mind will be Guru for you. It will take you away from all sufferings. It will melt down all worries, all sufferings, all conflicts.

Continuously listening without allowing incompletions to interfere your cognition itself leads to completion and the space of enlightenment.

Whenever you listen to you, you listen to others, when you stop listening to others, you stop listening to you also , Listen to you and listen to others. Only when you listen to you first and see that you are in completion, you can listen to others. When you listen authentically, you do not need any separate meditation practice. Just by listening you will reach the depth of you . you will experience the depth of you. If you listen to words that come out of completion, you will see that those very words change your inner space. Listening awakens your intuition, listening awakens your inner most intelligence.

For a person who wants to begin life, the First thing that is needed to learn is listening. If listening somehow starts in you everything will become so alive. Non listening is death, listening is life!

Manifesting the understanding that listening is life.

• When you listen to you ?
• When you can listen to others ?
• When you don't need any separate meditation practice ?
• When you experience the depth of you ?
• What changes your inner space ?
• What awakens your inner most intelligence ?

Paper, pencil, color, pencils and crayons

Have an adult draw half of a image/picture then encourage the children to draw the other half. Children can color the picture after they finish drawing it.

Encourage active listening by having students listen to information, process it, then use it for output. Print or create two different sheets of easily-drawn items, such as shapes, houses, trees, animals, classroom objects or people. Place several items on each sheet, or find a picture with detail - the more there is to describe, the closer students must listen.

Divide students into pairs and sit them back to back. Give each student in the pair a different picture and a sheet of blank paper. One student describes his picture while the other draws; they shouldn't show their pictures to each other until they both finish. For extra encouragement, let the class vote on whose drawing matches the picture the closest.

LISTENING IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS SPIRITUALITY

Without listening, however much you practice it will only be trying to practice. Only when you listen, practicing starts. Completion can be done in so many ways either by; working with the person who is relating with the root pattern with which you are suffering or, by catharsis (primal sound releasing methods) or by unclutching. Constantly making complications means you do not listen to your heart's cry. Being in the space of completion with yourself is unclutching .

Listening to your own inner space is the beginning of integrity. When you listen to only silence from your inner space you have achieved integrity. It is listening to you that is going to bring integrity to you. Listening is the first step to spirituality.

Bring the children to the understanding that listening is the first step of spirituality.

• Which is the first step to spirituality ?
• When does practicing start ?
• What are the different ways of completion ?
• Which is the beginning of integrity ? What is unclutching ?

• Conclude the topic by reviewing the important details like being in the space of completion with yourself is unclutching.

Chart/graah paper, Pencil, Sketch Pen

Encourage the children to make a chart from the life solutions lessons they have learnt. They can use some words as clicks for writing and decorate the chart and hang in their room.

Part 2: Listening - Lessons 1 to 3_English_part_2.md

Students will need to listen to each other closely and listen for what's out of place in this activity. Divide students into pairs or groups and give each a unique, slightly odd secret phrase; for example, "three happy elves live in my basement." Give the groups time to plan a dialogue that incorporates the secret phrase once or twice.

When they ' ve finished planning, let them perform the dialogue for the class. While watching, students try to guess the secret phrase and write it down accurately; they must also write how many times it was said. Give points to students who found the phrase and its repetitions. The student with the most points is the winner.

Through authentic listening to your self, you can achieve self-completion.

By listening to your mind and allowing it to speak, without passing judgment, we can melt down our deep in completions. Completion is required component to cause our reality to happen. Serving a person who does not even know he needs your service is real sacrifice.

Usually when you try to listen to yourself, the first thing your mind will do is throw tantrum, it will cry, then it will make you feel bored, then it will tell you that you are tired. Listen to all the three, you will understand, what the in completions you are carrying. Don't miss life. First catch what your incompletions are by providing authentic listening to yourself.

When you provide authentic listening to you, you will also realize many wonderful good things you have. You will also learn how to cause enlightenment to others. For self-completion nothing else is required other than authentic listening.

Awakening in the children the understanding of the power of authentic listening.

• When can we achieve self-completions?
• How we can melt down our deep incompletions?
• Which is the required component to cause reality to happen?
• Which IS a real sacrifice? When we will learn to cause listening to others?

• Reiterate the important facts like for self-completion nothing else is required other than authentic listening.

Give each child a picture and ask them to see the picture but ask them to draw the picture upside down.

To ensure that students are listening closely when everyone in the classroom is speaking, you might introduce a game with an element of unexpectedness. Have the students stand or sit in a circle. Choose one student to start and give this student a ball. Ask her a question about her favorite something (animal, color, etc.) and why it's her favorite. The student replies, then tosses the ball to another student, who must give an opinion on the first student's answer and give her own favorite.
