6. Integrity, the Principle Force of Shuddhadvaita

135

Integrity is the Meru Danda (spindle) on which the whole Cosmos flows. Oneness (Advaita) is the core of the Meru Danda. When the Meru Danda moves, the force generated is integrity.

Integrity is a power. When ordinary people try to teach integrity, they try to control others through it. With The Avatar™, Paramahamsa Nithyananda, being integrated is a way to manifest powers. He manifests powers through such a person by empowering them. Integrity gives the glimpse of Sadashivatva (the experience of Sadashiva).

When practicing integrity, one will feel good about oneself. The body becomes the best space to live; the inner space becomes the best way to exist; the physical, physiological, psychological, neurological circuits become complete. Integrity is literally like a doing prana pratishtha (infusing cosmic energy) into oneself. Only with integrity, Sadashivatva starts happening.

The students of Nithyananda GurukulSM maintain a high level of integrity. Sadashiva is empowering them and manifesting powers through them. That is the witness evidence that The Avatar™ is using integrity only to empower devotees, not to control devotees. It is with integrity life starts. It is with integrity that one reaches the core principle, the spindle (Oneness).

Only integrity is the scale to find out whether one is completing, or cheating oneself and cheating others. When integrated, Sadashiva manifests powers through them. When Consciousness starts functioning, friendliness is the smell. When Advaita starts moving, integrity is the force generated. Align to that force.

Integrity is the scale with which one can measure whether they have completed or not, whether they are healed or not, whether they are evolving or not. First, have completion with integrity; love integrity. It is one of the amazing powers a human being is given. It is not a controlling mechanism, it is living mechanism. It is a lifestyle, breathing style.

By bringing integrity, one will empower oneself and discover a new being. Integrity will literally make one Sadashiva. Practicing integrity leads to experiencing Advaita and manifesting the powers of Sadashiva.

Integrity to Bone Structure

Paramahamsa Nithyananda has explained why integrity is a critical aspect of life. With the power of integrity, whatever one says becomes Reality. This is irrespective of whether what was said was in line with the laws of physics and laws that govern the physical world. Integrity itself is an important spiritual power. It simply manifests as the power of words. One's integrity is essential for receiving the initiations from the Master when he guides us into manifesting more and more powers. It is only through integrity that the Master expresses through anyone.

"Integrity is a bio-memory stored in the bone structure. If you are integrated to your bone structure, automatically, integrity starts happening in words, actions, lifestyle, behaviour, thinking structure and every aspect of life."

There are two ways to build integrity. All the qualities can be developed mentally and reached to the level of physical or it can be manifested from the physical and reached to the level of reality.

Mental technique:

Integrity can be practiced as a mental technique. In this case, you complete with all the statements that you did not honour in life, declare completion with them and the people involved. Then you go on to create the cognition of an integrated being and keep practicing honouring your words in every relationship in life. This is a mental practice.

This takes a long time (typically a 12-year duration) to manifest integrity as part of your bone marrow and it becomes your reality. This is a technique from Vedanta.

Physical Technique:

Paramahamsa Nithyananda presents a unique practice from Agamaantha, 'the skeleton dance', to build integrity in the bone structure. Here Paramahamsa Nithyananda gives integrity as a physical practice. Building integrity from the physical level is very powerful and fast, working from the inside out and it helps to push and manifest powers in all aspects of life.

"You will visualise your skeleton structure. The strength of your skeleton structure is the strength of your integrity. Either for 21 minutes or 42 minutes visualize your bone structure and dance. Without losing power over visualizing your skeleton structure, you go on jumping, dancing for any song. Your body should be active; as many bones as possible should be moving; but your inner space should be holding the whole skeleton structure's visualisation.

It will almost be like a skeleton dancing. You will see in your inner space the skeleton dancing, but that cannot reduce the speed of your dance. Your movement should be there and the skeleton structure should be held in your inner space."

Here, one is aligning with integrity from inside their bone structure. In this case, within one or two months, integrity can be made as part of the desired reality.

Experiences from Practicing the Technique

"This is so much fun and after a point I stopped feeling self-conscious. Felt suddenly beyond gender identity!"

– Radhika Panikar, USA on YouTube.

"The most fun technique I have ever tried. I see my skeleton glowing and burning. The feeling of freedom is just amazing :)"

• Anna Stoyanova on YouTube

"I haven't done the whole 21 minute skeleton dance yet, but I have rather long commutes on my bicycle every day with many challenging hills. While going uphill, I held onto the visualization of my skeleton and I was able to withstand the challenge to my muscles and cardiovascular system with much energy than when I am strongly identifying with my muscles/heart/ lungs. It's a really useful, fun technique! I use every day now."
