2. Shuddhadvaita Shaivam is the Doorway to Extraordinary Powers

69

S adashiva explains the whole science of Enlightenment and manifesting the experience and powers. No power is a power, it is only the confirmation of someone's Oneness with that object. For example, if someone is able to stop the wind or make the rain shower, it is not their power over the wind or over the rain, it is their Oneness with those elements.

"First and foremost lesson, to manifest any power, is - power is not power over others, power is Oneness over others. Unfortunately your unconscious mind always tends to think, naturally you will be pushed to manipulate, to control. Manipulation is not manifestation."

Even by manipulation one can have power over nature and people but it will be only for a very limited time. Shuddhadvaita Shaivam is the state from which these powers manifest.

"Living Advaita, the Oneness is all about experience of that Oneness. With this Living Shuddhadvaita Shaivam I mean not just living the Oneness, [but] expressing all the experiences and powers of Mahadeva...The

pure Advaita revealed by Mahadeva in Upanishads and Aagamas with all the experiences and powers."

When dealing with things with Oneness, there will be more and more of friendliness and openness. It is also possible to deal with the wind with the manipulating attitude. But only a few times. Within a few times the person will develop incompletion with the wind, and then the wind will just slap on their face. Perhaps 2-3 times the wind may follow, but other times, he may just ditch the person and run away.

"I can introduce you to my great friends, wind, earth, fire, space ... to everyone, saying, 'Hey! He is my disciple. Please work with him and both of you be in friendliness, be friends. After that if you try to be in Oneness with them, they will naturally become friends and start opening themselves up to you. If you try to, 'Do you know who I am?' No! that will not work. If you try to be overpowering or manipulating that attitude will not work."

If one approaches with tremendous Oneness, they don't have to feel lower than the fire, they don't have to feel lower than the wind, they don't have to feel lower than their Third Eye, no! They don't have to feel themselves as lower than the Kundalini. But don't try to feel over!

The Avatar™'s Experience of Oneness with the Whole

73

Reading about The AvatarTM's experience is the perfect first somenoe knows the perfect experience, they can adopt that as their own ambition. What's more, with his description of his own awakening, it's so clear that every power he is giving to his devotees, he has achieved himself. Every single technique he gives, he has time tested on himself first. They have become a reality in him so deeply that it is easy for him to make it a reality within everyone. With his grace, he is constantly allowing people to experience the same Oneness that he is in, first with

glimpses and then ultimately with the complete immersion into that state.

At the age of 12, Paramahamsa Nithyananda's enlightenment experience was the ultimate Third Eye AwakeningSM. He immediately felt that he was alive in everything around him, in Advaita with the universe. Suddenly, the entire Cosmos was just a blink away, eager to pull him into it, into the samadhi state. He beautifully describes it in his own words.

Every day, that Arunachala hill was living. It was never the same old hill which I saw yesterday. No. I had a very funny routine. Everyday morning when I got up from my bed, I will not open my eyes. I will slowly walk from my room; walk outside the house holding the parapet wall and come out, and stand in a particular spot. Usually I know from that spot the hill will be seen. I will stand in that spot and then only open my eyes so that first thing I see in the morning is that hill. I will see the Arunachala hill.

And somehow my brothers know this. They know that first thing as soon as I wake up, I would want to see the hill. And they wanted to make fun or tease me. By the time they know I am out from my bed and I am slowly walking, they will come and stand exactly in front of me. If I open my eyes and did not see the hill, and saw any of them, I will go back and lie down again. I will not do anything that day. I will not do my daily activities, I will not go to bathe, and I will go back and lie down again, sleep for half an hour again, get up and slowly walk and come back to the spot and open my eyes. Only if I see the hill first thing in the morning, I will do my routine.

It was very funny and looks little superstitious. But I always felt I took birth or I took the body because of the attraction, the pull the hill has got for enlightened beings. There is a very beautiful verse in Tamil about this hill which attracts enlightened beings around it. This hill is specially respected for attracting enlightened beings not only on this planet Earth, even from other planets. Even from other different spaces it can attract and pull the enlightened beings to the Planet Earth. So I never took the hill for granted. It was an 'ever living presence'.

One day it was dusk and I sat down. It was a Purnima (full Moon) day. Still I remember it was Purnima (full Moon) day and moon was rising, sun was setting. On Purnima (full Moon) day you can see both - the Moon and the Sun. The Moon was rising and the Sun was setting. There was deep silence all around me. Even though it was a small village or town, the moment it becomes evening it will practically be completely silent. There will not be any vehicle sound. In those days there were no vehicles. There was no other sound. There was such an intense and vivid silence.

I was trying to play with that simple technique of trying to find the source of my thought. I was trying to see from where the thoughts were coming. I was trying to see where the thoughts

were originating from. As I began to see the source of my thought slowly, the first clarity that happened to me was that I am not solid as I always think. The body and mind are not solid. It is just liquid, porous, and empty. You can go in and come out. You can get out or get in. Anything can be done. First truth was I am an empty, porous being.

Second step slowly I saw that the eyes have closed. Because of the deep silence, I did not even feel like sitting with open eyes. The eyes closed by itself. Next thing something opened inside, which is beyond these two eyes. The moment that opened, I was not only able to see the front side, but I was also able to see all the 360 degrees. Understand all 360 degrees. Understand it was not just seeing, I could feel the whole thing was me. Understand if you see something with closed eyes you are only seeing inside your inner space. You are feeling it. You are not just seeing it. I can't even say I saw 360 degrees. I just felt it was completely broken- the idea of boundary, border was broken. And I could see completely 360 degrees. All the eight directions, above and below, both.

Not only that how alive you feel inside your body, that same life, that same presence I experienced with everything around me. Now all of you know you are present inside your skin. That same presence I experienced with everything, with the hill, with the temple, with the village, with the trees, with the rocks, with everything. I was just intensely feeling that I was present in everything. It was an intense, deep presence.

May be for a few hours I did not even remember the body. After that vaguely

I started remembering the body. I remembered in the same way as one would remember the body in our dream. It was a vague remembrance. I could remember that I had left the body somewhere. But I was able to move. I was able to move the body with a vague remembrance.

Slowly I came down from the rock; I even managed to talk to Kuppammal (Maataa Vibhudananda Devi) who was one of my first inspirations. I managed to talk to her also. The moment I started moving the body and started talking, the first thing I felt was: Maybe I am possessed by a ghost! This is because it was such a strong and new experience. I asked her: I don't know what happened. I was sitting on that rock, something happened. I told her what had happened. She felt my hands and saw the energy and

laughed and said: No, you are not possessed by a ghost, you are possessed by God! It was a great thing that not only she encouraged and took care of me, she also took care that I did not show anything abnormal to the outside world because of this experience. Very wonderfully she managed.

But even after two days the power or experience or ability to see all the 360 degrees was there. It did not go away. It was there very strongly. Actually one of my friends and my classmate who still lives in my native place was the first person I can say who received energy darshan.

Second or third day after this experience happened, I called him and told him: I want to tell you something important. He asked me: What is it? He is my close friend and classmate. We always used to play together. Practically he was like a disciple. Wherever I go and do puja and temple cleaning and other spiritual activities, he would help me and assist me.

I told him: Let's go to one corner of the temple and sit and talk. We went to one corner of the temple and we sat and I told him: See since two days I am able to see all 360 degrees, all the directions without turning my head. And first thing I could see was that he had the shock. He just started laughing. Even though he had the shock he does not want to show it. He said: You are a fool. What are you talking about? I said: No. No. I am not a fool. If you want you can experiment on me and see if I am telling the truth.

I said: I can see the people walking in front. In the temple there were so many people who were coming and going. I said to him: I am able to see that. I can see the people walking on the side. I can see behind the tree. There is a tree and on that tree ants are climbing. Ants are going up and down. I can see that. The moment I said that behind the tree I can see the ants moving, the fellow had the shock. He got up. He did not sit anymore. He got up. He said: No, No you may have seen the ants before you sat down, that is why you are able to say that now. I'll challenge you. He took a coin and said: I will hold it behind your head. You should tell me which side I am holding, whether it is head or tail. Kids will have only half a rupee or one rupee coin in those days. He took a coin from his pocket and put it behind my head ten times or so. And all the ten times I told him correctly whether it was head or tail. Not only that I told him:

Hey there is some dust on the coin, clean the coin. The moment I said that it was a shock to him.

He said: Be here. I will come back. I want to go to the restroom. I'll come back. I told him: No, no, no, no wait, wait I will finish talking. If you also want to have the same experience, go to that place where I was sitting. I told him the name of that place- Pavazha Kundru. I told him: Go and sit there. You will have the same experience. Three days ago only, I went and sat there. I was not even aware that something unique had happened to me. I thought anybody who goes and sits there will experience what I had experienced. I told him: Go and sit there you will get it. By that time that fellow got frightened. He thought I may force him and take him and make him sit there. Because always whatever I experience I will tell him and see that he also goes to the temple and has that same experience. That was the usual trend.

So he was trying to run and said: No, no, no. I will come later on. I will go to the restroom. He was frightened and he first wants to go to restroom. I caught hold of him. I said: No, no, no, come, come. Listen completely then go and sit there. By the time I caught hold of him he started trembling. He started trembling, literally shaking. And I understood he really did not want to go to the restroom. He just wanted to escape from me. That is why he said that he wanted to go to the restroom. I just caught hold of him in one hand and tried to pull him in the other hand very strongly to take him to that place where I had this experience.

I can say that was the first time I felt two separate bodies but the same, one presence which I feel every time I touch somebody and give energy darshan. I know the first person who received energy darshan. The first transmission of that experience had started happening. I felt very clearly, two bodies but one presence. I felt one with everything.

And by the time I held him by both the hands and this experience started happening he settled down. He did not have fear. When I took my hands away, again the fear started. Not only started, this time he just ran away. He just ran away. He stood from the safe distance and said: No, no I am really going to the restroom. You sit here. I will come back and call you. Don't come till I call you. And he ran away. He never came back.

I will never go near the rock. I suffered terrible depression. I used to curse that rock, not the rock, I thought there is a ghost and that ghost has caught me. I used to curse that ghost, I don't know what happened, what ghost caught me.

It is like ...see the pins are removed, and you don't know what to hold on. It is like if you are walking with a blanket completely covering you, you will feel completely comfortable, and you are habituated for that. Suddenly that blanket is floating, and how will you walk? It is just floating around you only but it is not completely covering you. How will you feel? It is like your skin is peeled and it is just floating around you and all your bone, flesh and everything is exposed. See, it is like you are covering yourself like a blanket your skin and suddenly one moment all the pins are removed. There is no pain but your own skin is nicely ironed and it is floating behind you and you are walking.

You will not know what is going on with your flesh, bones, anything. And you

83

are walking like a tanned goat leather. The goat flesh, blood is there and the tanned leather is just stuck on the top and the goat is moving and the leather is moving like an umbrella. What will you do?

Naturally I thought, I am caught by ghost. Fortunately I had some inspirations who recognized what I am going through. That is why I have so much gratitude for Kuppammal, Raghupati Yogi and all. See, they themselves were not enlightened but they were in a state. They themselves were not Avatar purushas to give enlightenment to me but they were in a state that they recognized who I am and they stood as a support.

It is like you are seeing in a dream, you are being chased and you shout, 'Give me weapon.

Give me weapon to kill this tiger. I want to kill this tiger.' Somebody is standing next to you, 'Eh, relax. Don't shout. You are dreaming and shouting.' Same thing they did to me. They said, 'Don't bother. Relax. You are going through something.' So that helped. That is why I have so much respect for them. They themselves have not added enlightenment to me. They are not that strong channels but they were able to add some support at that moment. At that moment it was really great. Kuppammal and Raghupati Yogi did not add enlightenment to me but they added something at that moment - a very strong support. Wonderful thing they did.

Years later, Paramahamsa Nithyananda described this experience as him becoming established in the turiya state, the fourth state of 'álive'consciousness. At the age of 22, in the year 2000, at Omkareshwar, Central India he fell into a deep samadhi. For the next nine months, he remained in that state, where it felt as though he had grown so enormous that his body was too small a thing to be centered around. It was then, during these nine months, that he transitioned from this state to the Turiyatita where he realized his incarnation-hood. He has no memory associated with the time of that transition. He only remembers when he fell into samadhi and when he entered back into his body.

Since then, he has been operating from the level where only avatars like Sri Rama, Sri Krishna, Devi Meenakshi or Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa reside in forever. Many powerful spiritual leaders have remained only in the turiya state for all of their lives. Many couldn't even dream of getting there so early in life.

The Avatar™, having had conscious birth, will be wired to experience this early so that they can begin their mission on Earth as soon as possible. For Paramahamsa Nithyananda, this means awakening the Third Eye of millions on the planet.

Shaktis of Sadashiva, Not Siddhis

T he Sacred Secret Science of Third Eye and manifesting powers as revealed by Paramahamsa Nithyananda is neither mysticism nor occultism. These are tawdry words to describe this sacred science given in the Vedas and the Agamas. It is a very clear Sacred Secret Science of Shaktis described directly by Sadāashiva, the Adiguru.

The applied science and technology has been very elaborately, eloquently presented in the Agamas without any ambiguity, without any doubt. It's given step by step.

Sadaāshiva is very clear – He programmed everyone with His own inner space. In this human frame powers can be manifested easily, simply by realizing Oneness with Sadaāshiva. These Shaktis are neither supernatural nor magical nor paranormal r occult or mystical. These are the Sacred Science of manifesting the original state of Sadāashivatva.

Some say it is difficult, some say it is easy. Paramahamsa Nithyananda clearly says it is neither difficult nor easy, it is the simple Reality. For Reality, the word 'easy' cannot

be used. If coffee is there in the kitchen, getting it and putting it in the mouth is difficult. If it is there close by, on the table, getting it and putting it in the mouth is easy. If the coffee is already in the mouth, is it difficult or easy? It is simple Reality.

Paramahamsa Nithyananda shares his Atma Pramana, his own experience of the powers, and the space from which they manifest for him.

"I want to assure and reassure all my disciples and followers - whatever you are practicing, you are being taught is verified, re-verified, by Āpta Pramāṇa, the ancient great authentic, time-tested, fool-proof compilations of revelations of the great Gurus from Adiguru Sadāshiva and all His direct disciples and followers and descendants, like Saptarishis.

All these great beings, compilations of their revelations, that is what I call Āpta Pramāṇa. What I am teaching is directly verified thoroughly by Āpta Pramāṇa. Every line you are taught, every technique you are

88

taught, the original verse is available - Āpta Pramāṇa, that is first.

Second, Ātma Pramāṇa, I myself experienced it, realized it.

Third, whatever I heard from my Gurus, whatever I learnt from them, even those things, I thoroughly did acid wash with Shāstra Pramāṇa again.

So, My own Āpta Pramāṇa, My Guru's words, My own experience, My Ātma Pramāṇa and Shāstra Pramāṇa, the great compilations of sacred revelations, by the great Masters. With all this verifications and quality control pass, only after that, it is presented to all of you, as Sākshi pramāṇa, the opportunity to experience yourself."

Shaastra Pramana

On the authority of Agamas from Shiva

Lord Sadashiva himself reveals to the Rishis, the supreme authority and perfection of His words in the Agamas as the evidential truth in the Pramāṇa Patalah.

āptoktirāgamassopi parokṣārthaika sādhanam | pratyakṣeṇānumānena yadivārthaṁ suniścitam || 60 yo vakti soyamāptassyāt tasmādāptataraśśiva | suprasannendriyagrāmas sarvajñassarvagocaraḥ || 61|| pakṣapata vinirmukto yathārthagrāhakassadā | avyayaḥ paripuraśca svatantraḥ paśupāśapaḥ || 62 || pramāṇaṁ ekaṁ tadvākyaṁ tathyaṁ śreyonidhissadā |

"Verbal testimony (sabda) is the utternace of the trustworthy person. It is the means to the cognition to mediate objects (parokshartha). He who states, as it is, the nature of a thing, which is well ascertained by perception of inference, is said to be a trustworthy person.

And Shiva is more trustworthy than that person. He is the possessor of a host of absolutely perfect senses, all-pervading, holding everything within the range of His awareness. free from partiality, eternal seer of truth –He is changeless, perfect, independent, destroyer of the bonds of the embodied souls. He utterance (Agamas) is the ultimate authority, true and repository of beautitude forever.

Kundalini AwakeningSM , Rise of Inner Potential Energy

93

Paramahamsa Nithyananda reveals the secrets of Kundalini, the largest untapped natural energy source on the planet! This dormant energy stored in every living being, once awakened, allows us to access the untapped regions of the brain, manifesting its potential in miraculous powers and heightened intelligence. Any growth in any field, on any level – whether it is ordinary physical health and wealth or extraordinary inner richness and powers - is only possible due to this higher potential energy. This extraordinary inner potential energy, bioenergy, which is available in the being in the form of potential is what is called as Kundalini Shakti.

In Sanskrit, 'Kunda' refers to the concave cavity in which the brain, resembling a coiled and sleeping serpent, nestles. The word 'kundalini' refers to the Shakti or power when it is in its dormant potential state. And when it is awakened, man enjoys divinity, the actual communion between the two great forces within all beings, communion between Shiva and Shakti.

Since time immemorial, human beings have suspected that they have more energy

and intelligence than they are able to realize and express in their day to day life, more than what their parents have taught them and what the society at large has led them to believe. It is their belief in a higher potential that is at the root of all seeking and all creativity. There are some rare beings who express their higher energy and intelligence in its purest form as spiritual energy to enrich others – they are the Enlightened beings of the world like Buddha, Mahavira, and Sri Krishna.

Life, the very perception and response to it becomes totally different when Kundalini Shakti is awakened.

Once activated through initiation by an Enlightened Master, this Kundalini Shakti leads to extraordinary experiences and enlightened lifestyle.

"When you awaken your Kundalini energy with the right knowledge, right context, right understanding and the right technique, right process, it can give you anything you want! Kundalini brings the space of positivity

95

to you, space of possibility to you, space of leadership to you, space of Enlightenment itself to you! Kundalini is Kalpataru; it gives anything you want, and the space of not wanting anything!"

Kundalini AwakeningSM gives people extraordinary powers like telepathy, teleportation, materialization and more! Just because one does not have access to these extraordinary powers, they need not think these powers do not exist. Kundalini Shakti can directly make one more productive, more aware, more conscious, intuitive, ultimately rich not only in the realm of wealth but also in health and relationships. It will take away the low idea people carry about themselves. It takes away the lower self image they carry about themselves. It shows them their possibilities. It shows them the power of intuition. It awakens their intuition. It awakens their intelligence. They forget tiredness and boredom. They do smart work; not just hard work and with this smart work,

96

naturally, they see that they are more active, alive, productive in their job, in their business, in their day-to-day life, resulting in deep contentment and fulfillment. The internal conflicts and struggles they carry, disappear.

How integrated they are with life, how authentically they express who they are, how they carry responsibilities and how they enrich others and themselves in their life, all these aspects move to a higher level. The way they think about themselves, the way they think about others, the way they project themselves to others, the way they fulfill what others expect from them goes up to a different plane altogether. They become a new being that feels complete with life, aligning with its flow. This is the gift offered to the world by Paramahamsa Nithyananda: permanent Kundalini AwakeningSM. He guides seekers worldwide on how to nourish the flowering of Kundalini Shakti, practices to support it, signs of its occurrence, and how the Master's presence enhances it, speeding up the pace of physical, mental and spiritual evolution.

When Kundalini Shakti ascends the spine through the Sushumna nadi (the main channel of subtle energy), it results in a huge energy influx into the brain. As the Kundalini Shakti flows from the thalamus to the cortex in the brain, it sets up a powerful energy loop within the brain, generating coherent alpha and gamma waves, and awakening the dormant, nonmechanical parts of the brain which have never been used before, the part that is hardwired for higher possibilities, higher consciousness. The brain's mechanical parts on the other hand, take care of mechanical functions of the body – movement of blood, movement of the intestines, movement of the heart, movement of lungs, the mechanical basic survival needs. It is the non-mechanical parts of the brain that are endowed with extraordinary powers. Thus the direct result of this awakening of energy in a person is that they also experience the same highest conscious coherence

Enhanced awareness levels, huge surge in energy levels, increased mental abilities, greater creativity and extraordinary powers start to express, like levitation, teleportation and materialization. Brain activation is also known to slow down the ageing process and improve immunity to diseases.

Paramahamsa Nithyananda compares the body to an instrument where the spine is like three tubes sitting in a bowl of mercury. The root energy centre called the Muladhara Chakra is like this bowl full of mercury. The mercury can be equated to reproduction energy, the energy which can give birth to life which is in the root centre. Whether one is a male or female, their root centre has the energy to create life. Their spine is like three hollow tubes, three nadis, Ida, Pingala, Sushumna,

inserted into a mercury bowl. The root of the spine is in the mercury bowl which is reproductive energy, located at the top of the tube is the Third Eye, the Ajna chakra. When life breath, prana, is intensely sent, with high pressure, through the two side tubes, through both the nostrils, Ida and Pingala, the mercury gets through the centre tube and reaches the top. With the pressure created with the intense infusion of prana energy through the center tube, the Sushumna, the Kundalini Shakti,

the life energy, reaches the Crown centre and blossoms. The Ajna chakra opens.

Kundalini Shakti can be awakened by thousands of methods. Paramahamsa Nithyananda usually uses four methods to awaken the Kundalini Shakti in everyone from a newborn child to elders.

1. With the right breathing and postural processes like yoga, pranayama and kriyas, the body is prepared. From ages, the Supreme Source of all energies and powers, AdiYogi Sadashiva has given the clear science of Kundalini AwakeningSM in Vedas-Agamas, which has been followed and expressed by the great Enlightened Ones such as Patanjali, Abhinava Gupta, Natha Yogis, etc.

2. By giving the right principles, the right knowledge about life, mind, body, the tattvas, principles, the mind is prepared through new thinking focused on the four powers: integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching.

3. With proper initiation through the intense infusion of prana energy as described above, prana energy is transmitted by the touch given on the Third Eye, Ajna Chakra, Kundalini is awakened.

4. Just by a mere will the transmission of energy can be done wherever people sit. Paramahamsa Nithyananda uses all four methods to awaken Kundalini Shakti, so that the awakened Kundalini energy stays eternally, permanently, forever in your being. It becomes part of your bio-energy and bio-memory forever. When an enlightened being awakens your Kundalini current, you will not have any negative side-effects.

"We can light our lamps only from an already burning fire." – Paramahamsa Nithyananda

Initiation, 'Deeksha'

Truth, when it comes out of an enlightened inner space, and clicks, is 'Initiation' o Deeksha. It is when one wonders, "How could he convince me about such a great thing and such a wonderful thing?" When the person wonders how he got convinced, when he doesn't know but suddenly his heart feels connected to the words which the Master is uttering, the truth which he is expressing - that connection, that click is called 'Initiation.'

What The Avatar™ shares can break the very core of depression. This can also be called the root of the mind. All that is required is to be available, receptive and ready to let the

103

Satya (Truth) work. Suddenly the person will see that click, the initiation happens in them.

'Initiation' or Deeksha does not mean chanting some special mantra or doing something special. It straight away means making one experience a solid Truth, giving them a clear inner space and confidence Truth, when it comes out of an enlightened inner space, and clicks, is 'Initiation' or Deeksha. It is when one wonders, "How could he convince me about such a great thing and such a wonderful thing?"

Shaastra Pramana Dīksha from Shiva as the Guru

Shaktis Exists in Disciple blessed with Dīksha visphulingā yathā kśudrā huccaranti hutāśanāt | evam śivasya devasya śaktayaḥ samudāhṛdatāḥ || 5 || vyāpnuvanti śarirāṇi sādhakānāṁ prayojitāh | yathādityastu bhumiṣṭham raśmibhirte-harate malam || 6 || evam śakti samāyogād dikśitān harate vibhuḥ |

Just as the fiery and tiny sparks shoot up abundantly in all directions from the well enkindled sacrificial fire, even so the multitudes of Shaktis arise from Lord Siva. These Shaktis exist pervading the body of the sadhakas (seekers) who have been blessed with Dīksha. Just as the sun destroys through his rays the impurities accumulated in the ground, even so Lord Siva destroys the seeds of karmic effects and of other bonds of the initiated sadhakas through His perfectly maintained union with Shaktis which are His own rays.

~ Raurava Agama, Dīksha Vargah

Bhavagan Sadashiva reveals the glory of Dīksha, initiaiton in the Agama called Kularnava Tantra:

upapātaka lakśāṇi mahāpataka kotayaḥ । kśanāt dahati deveśi dīkśā hi vidhinā kritā ॥ The Dīksha done as per the scriptural injunctions of Agamas, removes in just one moment - lakhs of minor incompletions and crores of major incompletions.

devi dīkṣa-vihinasya na siddhir na ca sadgatihi। tasmāt sarvaprayatnena gurunā dīkṣito bhavet॥

Oh Devi. The one who has not received Deeksha does not attain perfection, completion or liberation nor a good future path. So by all intense efforts one should become a Deekshita, the initiated one by the Guru.

When the person wonders how he got convinced, when he doesn't know but suddenly his heart feels connected to the words which the Master is uttering, the truth which he is expressing - that connection, that click is called 'Initiation.'

What The Avatar™ shares can break the very core of depression. This can also be called the root of the mind. All that is required is to be available, receptive and ready to let the Satya (Truth) work. Suddenly the person will see that click, the initiation happens in them.

If Deeksha is experientially transmitted, in atleast one glimpse, then initiation has happened. Then the person is initiated. When a Master puts certain words into a person, and those words start working in them, they do not know what all is going to happen in them.

During Third Eye AwakeningSM , Paramahamsa Nithyananda initiates all participants. Just one look, one word or touch of an incarnation is enough to transfer the highest frequency of Existence to the person. All the powers of Sadashiva start with the initiation from The Avatar™. All powers are a gift from the vast, infinitely compassionate space of The Avatar™ to raise all of humanity to their highest possibility of existence. Initiation is the only process by which these powers can be given to a person. Initiation, Deeksha is the way in which The Avatar™ can destroy karma of many lifetimes just by the power of His divine presence.

Experience of Initiation

"My name is Yogajnana and I am studying in Nithyananda GurukulSM. Now it is my 4th year here and I can tell that in all my life, these 4 years are the best. They couldn't be better.

Before joining Gurukul, I had everything I wanted. There was nothing I did not have. Anything I wanted would come to me before I even asked for it. Laptop, phone, computer, whatever I wanted, I had it. I had nothing to ask for. But one thing I was missing was fulfillment. And because I lacked fulfillment inside of me, I did not know what I wanted. It's the worst thing - not knowing what you want or not knowing why you are feeling bad.

But after meeting Swamiji and doing my first program, Inner Awakening® for kids, I was overflowing with that fulfillment.

After the Third Eye initiation, I felt a deep rumbling, a deep shake at the bottom of my stomach. Hardly seconds after that I felt as if somewhere I connected with a 1000 volt electrical plug at base of my spine and that current shot from the base of my spine to the top of my head. That's all I know. After that everything is vague and I don't exactly remember. And after that, things changed. I wasn't the person I was before. The way I spoke to people changed, the way I related with people changed. Everything changed.

It was as if Swamiji got a bulldozer and blew down my system and rebuilt it again. So after that, within a few hours, I was able to do the first part of blind-folded reading. And after that I was able to do body scanning, and then I started to see lost items. Then, I started looking at the betel leaf and finding things, looking in

the mirror and finding things, showing others to the mirror etc. All this happened within less than 2 years. It is amazing."

Completion Expresses as Powers

109

Completion, or 'Purnatva' in Sanskrit is the ultiomate eternal truth of the Existence.

It can take anyone from where they are, beyond their thoughts, worries and agitations, to the space of Oneness with the Whole. It is the method by which someone can restore their original space of Oneness with everything.

The Science of CompletionSM is nothing but knowing and experiencing that anything that stands in the way of Oneness is an illusion, no matter how real or believable it may appear.

The Śānti Mantra, peace chant of the very first Upaniṣad, Īśāvāsya Upaniṣad declares:

auṁ pūrṇamadah pūrṇamidaṃ pūrṇāt pūrṇamudacyate । pūrṇasya pūrṇamādāya pūrṇamevāvaśiṣyate ॥

Aum. This is Completion (Purna), that is Completion (Purna). If This is removed from That, both remain, continue as Completion. When the Completion merges into Completion, Completion alone remains. If the Completion is removed or perceived to be removed from Completion, again

Completion alone remains as Completion. Let there be peace in my inner space, peace in the outer space, peace in the Cosmos.

Since completion restores the space of Shuddhadvaita, it directly leads to expressing the powers of Sadashiva. Any pattern, idea or thought trend when completed, expresses as powers. In the same way, to know the secrets of any aspect of nature, only completion with that force or energy is needed. Completion with the wind can reveal the ways of the wind, and how to manifest powers with it – how to invoke it, how to redirect it, how to stop it and so on.

Every completion restores the space of Oneness and manifests as powers of Sadashiva.
