All Rights Reservered Ebook ISBN: 979-8-88572-687-0 The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism ("SPH") Nithyananda Paramashivam, recognized as the 1008th living incarnation of Paramāśiva as per Sanatana Hindu Dharma ("Hinduism") and by His predecessors of enlightened masters and adepts, revives the most ancient, most peaceful, still-living and long-lasting demonstrable system that shows the possibility of peaceful co-existence amongst people. The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam is the youngest Maha Mandaleshwar (the most supreme level of Hindu spiritual guardianship) of the Mahanirvani Akhada (the ancient apex body of Hinduism). Following the coronation to establish Kailasa worldwide at the age of 16, for the past 27 years, The SPH 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. Kailasa, as a nation, with de facto spiritual embassies operating across over 100 countries and having presence across the globe as the largest spiritual knowledge source on Hinduism, spiritually governed with the life positive, all-inclusive, universal policies sourced from Hinduism is revived by The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam. Kailasa has enriched and enreached more than one billion individuals over the past 27 years. KAILASA's NITHYANANDA YOGA FOR MOST YOGIS AROUND THE WORLD, ENLIGHTENED MASTER PATANJALI IS THE FATHER OF YOGA: HE PRESENTED A SYSTEM CALL ASHTANGA YOGA, COMPRISING 8 DIMENSIONS OF YOGA, APPROXIMATELY 3000 YEARS AGO. LITTLE WE KNOW THAT YOGA WAS REVEALED IN DETAIL BY BHAGAVAN PARAMAŚIVA, THE FIRST AND FOREMOST GURU, WHO REVEALED ŚAŚTANGA YOGA, OVER 60,000 YEARS BEFORE PATANJALI! BHAGAVAN PARAMAŚIVA, REVEALS ŚAŚTANGA YOGA IN THE KIRANA AGAMA - (YOGA PADA 2.3.) ONE OF THE ORIGINAL AUTHENTIC SCRIPTURE ON YOGA. THE SPH NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, THE 1008TH INCARNATION OF BHAGAVAN PARAMAŚIVA, HAS REVIVED THE ŚAŚTANGA YOGA THROUGH KAILASA's NITHYANANDA YOGA. KAILASA's NITHYANANDA YOGA IS THE ESSENCE, THE BEST OF THE BEST OF THE ONE MILLION YOGIC SCRIPTURES AVAILABLE FROM ALL THE SAMPRADAYAS OF SANATANA HINDU DHARMA's VEDA-ĀGamic TRADITION AS PER THE VISION OF BHGAVAN PARAMAŚIVA TO MANIFEST EXTRAORDINARY SUPER-HUMAN POWERS (SHAKTIS) THROUGH YOGA. YOGA IS FROM PARAMAŚIVA THIS FIRST THING YOU NEED TO KNOW IS THAT YOGA DID NOT ORIGINATE FROM PATANJALI. "PATANJALI IS THE ORGANIZER, NOT ORIGINATOR. THAT'S THE FIRST THING YOU NEED TO KNOW... WITH ALL MY RESPECTS TO PATANJALI, I WANT TO DECLARE THIS TRUTH TO THE WORLD: AT LEAST 15,000 YEARS BEFORE PATANJALI, A BEING WALKED ON THE PLANET EARTH, ASSUMING THE PHYSICAL FORM, ADI GURU, BHAGAVAN PARAMAŚIVA, THE FOUNDER AND FATHER OF THE YOGA SYSTEM. PATANJALI YOGA SUTRAS IS A GREAT BOOK, NO DOUBT, BUT NOT THE FIRST BOOK. UNFORTUNATELY, MANY POPULAR YOGA GURUS ALL OVER THE WORLD, ALWAYS STOP WITH PATANJALI. VERY FEW SAY YOGA WAS BEFORE PATANJALI, AND EVEN IF THEY SAY, THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO PRESENT THE SCRIPTURES AND LITERATURE." YOGA IS FROM HINDUISM "THE SECOND IMPORTANT TRUTH IS THAT YOGA IS FROM HINDUISM." ALWAYS ASK FOR THE ORIGINAL SOURCE. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THE ORIGINAL SCRIPTURES REVEALED BY BHAGAVAN PARAMASHIVAM ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE MASS. WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOGA CANNOT BE DEVELOPED AND CANNOT BE SEPARATED FROM HINDUISM. IT IS A PERFECT SYSTEM THAT WAS REVEALED BY BHAGAVAN PARAMASHIVAM AND FURTHER ORGANIZED BY LIVING ENLIGHTENED MASTERS, DISCIPLES OF BHAGAVAN PARAMASHIVAM OVER THOUSANDS OF YEARS, WITH A CLEAR PURPOSE, AN VISION. YOGA IS A COMPLETE SCIENCE THAT HAS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT ALL TYPES OF BODIES PAST, PRESENT AND YET TO COME IN THE FUTURE. ALTERING YOGA IS NOT DEVELOPMENT BUT DILUTION. YOGA IS THE SCIENCE OF RADIATING ENLIGHTENMENT "THE THIRD IMPORTANT TRUTH IS THAT YOGA IS NOT JUST THE SCIENCE OF KEEPING YOU HEALTHY, YOGA IS THE SCIENCE OF RADIATING ENLIGHTENMENT..." YOGA IS NOT JUST THE ABILITY TO STRETCH YOUR BODY. IT IS ABILITY TO MANIFEST WHAT YOU WANT.. YOGA IS NOT ALL ABOUT MAKING YOU BETTER MAN. YOGA IS ALL ABOUT MAKING YOU SUPERMAN." THE BEST THAT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU ON THE PATH OF YOGA IS GETTING RID OF ALL SELF-DOUBT, SELF-HATRED AND SELF-DENIAL, THE ROOT CAUSE OF ALL INCOMPLETIONS. THE SPH NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM ACTIVELY TEACHES THE SCIENCE OF COMPLETING WITH THESE, COLLECTIVELY CALLED SDHD, DISCARDING ALL MENTAL PATTERNS THAT LIMIT US FROM LIVING TO OUR HIGHEST POTENTIAL. YOGA IS THE ULTIMATE MERGING THE INDIVIDUAL CONSCIOUSNESS WITH THE COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS. IT IS DESIGNED TO EXPERIENCE ONENESS, ADVAITA, AND EXPRESS ALL THE MYSTICAL POWERS OUTLINED BY PARAMAŚIVA. AS LONG AS WE CARRY INADEQUATE, IMMATURE COGNITIONS ABOUT OURSELVES, ABOUT LIFE, OTHERS, GOD, WORLD, WE CONTINUE TO FEEL SEPARATE FROM THE WHOLE.WHEN WE COMPLETE WITH ALL OUR LIMITED COGNITIONS AND DISCOVER OUR TRUE SELF, YOGA HAPPENS. SEEKING THE SOURCE THE VEDA-AGAMAS ARE THE SOURCE BOOKS OF SANATANA HINDU DHARMA. THE REVELATION FROM THE VEDA-AGAMAS FORM THE SHĀSTRA PRAMANA, THE SCRIPTURAL AUTHORITY ON TRUTH, WHICH CAME DOWN DIRECTLY FROM THE MOUTH OF BHAGAVĀN PARAMAŚIVA TO HIS CONSORT DEVI PARASHAKTI. THE SPH NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM REVEALS...

"VEDAS ARE THE ULTIMATE, SUPERIOR AUTHORITY FOR THE HINDUS. VEDAS ARE LIKE A PURE SCIENCE, WHERE THE ULTIMATE TRUTHS ARE EXPLAINED, BUT AGAMAS ARE THE SCRIPTURES WHERE THE APPLIED TECHNOLOGY, THE APPLIED SCIENCE IS EXPANDED. ALL THE HINDU BODIES ACCEPT VEDAS AND AGAMAS AS SHRUTI [THAT WHICH IS HEARD] AND EVERYTHING ELSE FOLLOWS AS SMRTIS [THE REMEMBERED SCRIPTURES]. AGAMAS ARE DIRECTLY REVEALED BY BHAGAVAN PARAMAŚIVA; THEY ARE MORE LIKE A PRACTICAL MANUAL OF HOW TO, WHAT TO, WHERE TO, WHEN TO. ALL THESE DETAILS ARE ANSWERED WITH THE RIGHT CONTEXT, GIVING ENOUGH OF UNDERSTANDING AND I SHOULD SAY, IN A MORE SYMPATHETIC, COMPASSIONATE WAY, WITH A LOT OF CONCERN FOR HUMAN BEINGS WITH TREMENDOUS USER- FRIENDLINESS." To SERVE THE PURPOSE OF THE GENESIS OF NITYANANDA YOGA, KAILASA PLEDGES TO PROMOTE AND ENABLE ALL PRACTICING HINDUS TO UNLOCK AND EXPAND THE HUMAN POTENTIAL AND TO GIVE HUMANITY A SUPERCONSCIOUS BREAKTHROUGH WITHOUT DISCRIMINATING BETWEEN CASTE, CREED, GENDER, AGE, ABILITY AND RELIGION.

AUTHENTIC YOGA MAKES PEOPLE MANIFEST SPIRITUAL POWERS FROM 'ADVAITA', THE SPACE OF ONENESS OR ENLIGHTENMENT. PRAMĀNAS, THE FOUR AUTHORITIES AND EVIDENCES OF TRUTH

1. SHĀSTRA PRAMĀNA SHĀSTRA PRAMĀNA IS THE SCRIPTURAL EVIDENCE, THE DIRECT, ULTIMATE AUTHORITY ON THE TRUTH AS IT IS, FOR IT IS DIRECTLY FROM BHAGAVAN PARAMAŚIVA, THE ADIGURU (ORIGINAL GURU), THE SOURCE OF ALL THAT IS. IN SANATANA HINDU DHARMA, VEDA-AGAMAS ARE THE IRREFUTABLE SHĀSTRA PRAMĀNA. ALL KNOWLEDGE CURRENTS, PHILOSIAS, RITUALS AND LIFESTYLE SYSTEMS, AND YOGIC SCIENCES FOR HU- MANITY ARE IN-DEPTH SYSTEMATICALLY REVEALED IN VEDA-AGAMAS FORM THE PRAMANAS.
2. APTA PRAMĀNA APTA PRAMĀNAS ARE THE THE ANCIENT GREAT AUTHENTIC, TIME-TESTED, FOOL-PROOF COMPILATIONS OF EXPERIENCES OF ENLIGHTENED SAGES CALLED THE RISHIS, SIDDHAS, MUNIS, INCARNATIONS (AVATARS), THE DIRECT DISCIPLES, FOLLOWERS AND DESCENDANTS OF BHAGAVAN PARAMAŚIVA, LIKE THE SAPTARISHIS, MAHARISHIS, INCLUDING THE ENLIGHTENED ONES SUCH AS PATANJALI, VALMIKI, AGASTYA MAHAMUNI, ABHINAVAGUPTA, KSHEMARAJA, PARAMAHAMSA YOGANANDA, ETC. THE COMPILED EXPERIENCES VERIFY AND EXPAND FUR- THER ON THE VEDA-AGAMAS, FORMING APTA PRAMANA. Pramāṇas, The Four Authorities and Evidences of Truth
3. Ātma Pramāṇa Ātma Pramāṇas are the direct experiences of the Living Avatar, The SPH Nityananada Paramashivam, who is respected, revered as the living incarnations by millions of people worldwide. In the space of pure oneness or Shuddhadvaita with Bhagavan Paramashivam, the Ātma Pramāṇas of the SPH Nityananada Paramashivam form the words of His Gurus, His own experiences and all that He has learnt and directly experienced, and done thorough verification and authentication with the Śāstra Pramāṇa and then presented to the world.
4. Śakṣi Pramāṇa Śakṣi Pramāṇas are the evidence of the experiences and sharings of the people who directly experience the Pramaṇas as a living, applied reality in their lives as the manifestation of His Ātma Pramaṇas. In these series, the Pramāṇas are presented from different Veda-Agamas from the various systems or portions of the Agamas, such as the: Jnāna Pāda or Vidyā Pāda - the knowledge section from Agamas Kriya Pāda - the rituals sections from Agamas Yoga Pāda - the Yoga knowledge and science sections Carya Pāda - the enlightened lifestyle from Bhagavan Paramaśiva. Only when all three are combined does the initiation safely culminate in Sākṣī Pramāṇa the individual disciple’s experience of the highest state and power manifestations of Yoga . KAILASA’s Nithyananda Yoga as revealed by The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam combines all three Pramanas, precisely reviving the space from which Paramaśiva created this science. After being subject to years of dilution and pollution of this sacred science, the most profound intention and context of Yoga is now being revived and transmitted as a tangible experience by The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam, the Avatar of Paramaśiva Himself . “KAILASA’s Nithyananda Yoga is hence all about producing the experience of “Paramaśivattva”. The state of Paramaśiva, His qualities, His glory, His grace and His powers in YOU! THE 12 COMPONENTS OF KAILASA'S NITHYANANDA YOGA ASANA, PRANAYAMA, MUDRA, BANDHA, KARANA, VISUALISATION, JAPA, CHANTING, WEIGHT-LIFTING, MANDALA, ABHARANA, AUSHADHA "The ultimate truths in the field of Yoga - you are going to have twelve components of each asana. Asana - the physical posture; Pranayama - the breathing structure; Mudra - the energy circuit connections; Bandha - internal awakening of Kundalini Shakti. Twelve various components of each asana flowing into the Vinyasa Krama of thousand and eight postures. Understand, the ultimate gift of Yoga by Paramaśiva to all of you. Of course, with the valid Shastra Pramana, Apta Pramana, Atma Pramana - it will be made as a Sakshi Pramana for you." Each asana having twelve components of asana, mudra, bandha, pra- nayama, ausadha, karana and flowing into the next asana. Like that, thousand and eight asanas. The Prathama Vinyasa Krama - hundred and eight. Trithiya Vinyasa Krama - three hundred and eight. Trithiya Vinyasa Krama - five hundred and eight. Chaturtha Vinyasa Krama - thousand and eight. You are going to have the Parama Yoga revealed by Paramaśiva, the ultimate Shiva, ultimate Truth... And understand, Yoga is nothing but union with Cosmos. It is so unfortunate, the word "Union" is very poorly mapped and understood - just for physical sex. Please understand, sex is poor man's version of union. When you don't know anything, you just do that. That's it. Union is rich man's version of sex. It is much beyond body. It is much beyond body. Human beings mostly know only how to relief their pressure, not have union. Understand, the ultimate secrets of union with the Cosmos is Yoga." -The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam In an Akashic Revelation, the SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam announced to the world the 12 dimensions of Yoga, where every asana is paired with 11 additional yogic components to fully stimulate all the senses. By practicing Yoga with these components, strong roots are built within the body and ecstatic bliss is experienced. This Yoga delivers the direct experience of Samadhi (experience of oneness with the Ultimate): to manifest the state, space, and powers of Paramaśiva.

To truly understand why Yoga should be practiced with all of its components, the SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam revealed the first principle of Nithyananda Yoga as Vyakta and Avyakta, the manifest and unmanifest. In the scientific community, Vyakta and Avyakta is commonly understood as matter and anti-matter. Authentic Yoga is meant to deliver both Vyakta and Avyakta experientially to the practitioner. The "manifest" parts of our body and consciousness are more familiar to us; they are tangible. Outward physical movements would be considered a "manifest" aspect. But, it is the "unmanifest" which begins to reveal itself in our body through Kailasa's Nithyananda Yoga. Each of the 12 components of Yoga work on the unmanifest layer, the Avyakta: anti-matter, anti-sound, anti-sex. Anything done in the level of Usha, the expression (matter), due to matter's quality of going up and down, does not stay permanently. Anything done in the level of Chaaya, the existence (anti-matter), as it does not go down, stays permanently. If it is done on Usha, it will only work on mind. If it is done in Chaaya, it will remain in the body. Remnants of body in the altered form, the power manifesting form, exists longer than the remnants of the mind in altered states of consciousness. Thus, the methodology of working on the mind is lesser than methods of working on the body. That is why Tantra is more effective and long-lasting. It is Chaaya. It is on body - the anti-matter, the anti-sound, the anti-sex. Anything done on anti-matter, anti-sound, anti-sex stays longer. It has the status of Hiranyagarbha, the source of creation, the imperishable. Anti-sex with Paramaśiva is Kailasa's Nithyananda Yoga. Anti-sex is intense completion for what you know normally as sex. This whole practice will focus on the anti-sex activity. During the process, the anti-sex body goes through passive sexual relationship with the Avyakya component of Paramaśiva. This is Kailasa's Nithyananda Yoga. The physical movement that happens in the tongue, mouth, throat, eyes, chest, thighs, toes, the male or female organs during the anti-sexual activity with Paramashivoham is the whole of Kailasa's Nithyananda Yoga. In order to achieve this intense completion, the SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam has revealed that the physical practice of Yoga goes much beyond a single asana, or posture. Rather, with every movement, or placement of the body, there are a total of 12 dimensions in action: Asana, Pranayama/Kumbhaka, Mudra, Bandha, Karana, Visualization, Japa (In-ternal chanting), Paarayan (external chanting), Adding weights to different parts of the body, Mandala, Abharana (jewelry), and Aushadha (energized herbs). Every posture is the anti-sex activity of male or female body with the cosmic form of MahaParamaśiva. What is physi-cally seen is Usha (physical movements), but what is actually happening inside is Chaaya (the unmanifest space). Because the whole orientation during this process is on Chaaya (the existence), the Usha (the expression) will automatically evolve. With the Usha aligned to Chaaya, the body manifests the consciousness. Perfection is established in Chaaya. DURING THE PROCESS OF KAILASA'S NITHYANANDA YOGA, THE YOGI INTENSELY WITHDRAWS FROM THE BODY, THE FORM THEY ARE CONNECTED, ALLOWING THEM TO EXPERIENCE TELEPORTATION AND MATERIALIZATION. WHEN MATERIALIZATION HAPPENS, THE ANTI-MATTER FROM THE AVYAKTA ENTERS INTO VYAKTA AND BECOMES MATTER. BY THE END OF THE ENTIRE SEQUENCE, THE YOGI WILL BE ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY MANIFEST AT LEAST 21 POWERS, WITHOUT A SINGLE DOUBT. THE POWER OF THIS WHOLE PROCESS IS DOING IT IN THE BREATHING SPACE OF THE MASTER, PARAMAŚIVA HIMSELF, THE SPH NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. IF THE ATMOSPHERE IS INHALED THROUGH NOSE, IT IS PRANA. IF INHALED THROUGH EVERY PORE OF THE SKIN, IT IS SAMAANA. THE WHOLE BREATHING SPACE OF MAHAPARAMAŚIVA IS SAMAANA. THUS, KAILASA'S NITHYANANDA YOGA CAN ONLY BE PRACTICED IN THE CONSECRATED PLACE OF THE MASTER TO IMBIBE THE SAMAANA TO TAKE YOU DEEPER INTO THE ONENESS EXPERIENCE. THEREFORE, KAILASA'S NITHYANANDA YOGA SHOULD BE PRACTICED IN THE PHYSICAL PRESENSE OF THE MASTER, OR WITH HIS ENERGIZED MURTHY PRESENT. IN KAILASA'S NITHYANANDA YOGA, WHEN THE BODY GOES THROUGH ANTI-SEX WITH PARAMASHIVOHAM, POWER MANIFESTATION BECOMES PERMANENT AND COMPLETE. KAILASA'S NITHYANANDA YOGA GIVES THE DIRECT EXPERIENCE OF THE STATE OF SAMADHI, ONENESS WITH THE ULTIMATE: PARAMASHIVOHAM.

1. ASANA MAYBE THE MOST WIDELY DISCUSSED TOPIC IN YOGA TODAY IS - WHAT DOES 'ASANA' MEAN? IS IT SITTING? A CERTAIN POSTURE? MOVEMENT? LIKE MOST UNDERSTANDINGS, THE ONLY WAY TO TRULY DISCOVER THE TRUTH IS TO GO TO THE ORIGINAL SOURCE. THIS TEXT ITSELF IS THE ORIGINAL SOURCEBOOK, REVIVED IN MODERN FORM. IT IS DEDICATED TO UNVEILING THE TRUTHS ABOUT ASANAS, REVIVED FROM THE (ALMOST LOST) SACRED PALM LEAVES GIFTED TO HUMANITY THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO FROM PARAMAŚIVA, ADIYOGI HIMSELF. SINCE MOST PEOPLE ARE EITHER IN A STATE OF RESTLESSNESS (RAJAS) OR TIREDNESS (TAMAS), THE BODY NEEDS PREPARATION TO ENTER INTO THE EXPERIENCE OF YOGA. ASANAS ALLOW THE BODY AND MIND TO COME TO A STATE OF BALANCE AND RESTFUL AWARENESS (SATTVA), WHERE ONE CAN EASILY ENTER INTO THE DEEPER AND MORE SUBTLE DIMENSION OF YOGA. A PERSON IS MADE UP OF THREE BODIES - THE PHYSICAL OR GROSS BODY (STHULA SHARIRA), THE SUBTLE BODY (SUKSHMA SHAREERA) AND THE CAUSAL BODY (KAARANA SHAREERA). CHAKRAS ARE THE SUBTLE ENERGY CENTERS THAT ARE PRESENT AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE PHYSICAL, THE SUBTLE AND THE CAUSAL BODY. THEY ARE ALIGNED IN AN ASCENDING COLUMN FROM THE BASE OF THE SPINE TO THE TOP OF THE HEAD. ASANAS INVOLVE PLACING THESE CENTRES IN RELATIVE POSITION WITH EACH OTHER. THOSE POSITIONS CAN BE REPRESENTED BY GEOMETRICAL FIGURES.

ASANA "IF THE ASANAS ARE PRACTICED IN A CERTAIN MANNER, ONE BECOMES PREPARED FOR THE PURIFICATION OF THE NADIS. IT IS EXCELLENT IN ALLEVIATING THE DISEASES, PRANA AND BODILY HEAT ARE ENRICHED. MINOR DISEASES ARE ALSO CURED, AND BODILY HEAT AND PRANA ARE STIMULATED. ONE FEELS LIGHT. LIFE SPAN IS ENHANCED. PREMATURE DEATH IS PREVENTED." -HATHATATVAKAUMUDI, 9. 18-19 SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF ASANAS AND THEIR EXAMPLES INCLUDE:

OPTIMIZING THE DIGESTIVE FUNCTIONS (E.G. MATSYENDRASANA, HATHATATVAKAUMUDI CH.7.8),

REGULATING FEVER AND IMBALANCES CAUSED DUE TO THE HUMOURS (E.G. MAYURASANA, HATHATATVAKAUMUDI CH.7.10),

REMOVING FATIGUE (E.G. SAVASANA, HATHA-TATVAKAUMUDI CH.7.12), GIVING MENTAL STABILITY,

ENHANCING ENTHUSIASM AND STAMINA (E.G. VIRASANA, HATHATATVAKAUMUDI CH.7.19), AND ULTIMATELY,

ENSURING SUCCESS TO THE YOGI (E.G. SID-DHASANA, SHIVA SAMHITA-III.85). 1. ASANA The SPH NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM DESCRIBES ASANA AS, "STEADY AND COM- FORTABLE BODY POSTURES TO TUNE ONESELF WITH THE COSMOS." ULTIMATELY, ASANA MEANS MANY THINGS. PHYSICALLY, WHETHER STANDING, SITTING, LAYING OR JUMPING, ASANA IS WHEN OUR MUSCLES ARE COMPLETELY COMFORTABLE AND RELAXED;

THEY ARE ALIVE, STABLE AND COMFORTABLY STACKED UPON ONE ANOTHER. ASANA IS WHEN THE BODY IS BENDING, STRETCHING AND ALIGNING ITSELF TO THE COSMIC GEOMETRY. THE CONTEXT OF ASANA IS NOT RESTRICTING ITSELF TO SOME PHYSICAL POSTURE – IT'S NOT A PLACE THAT THE BODY IS IN, BUT A SPACE. NIDHIDHYASANA, FOR INSTANCE, IS WHEN WE ARE RADIATING EXCITE- MENT, JOY AND BLISS FOR LIFE REGARDLESS OF THE PHYSICAL POSITIONING OF THE LIMBS. The most important understanding of Asanas is it's not a practice at all, it is a happening, a manifestation, which happens through asanas; we do not practice sitting with God, we embody God, Paramaśiva. It is from this space of Sadashivoham, when we're intent on the vow of living like a God, that we are performing an authentic Asana. Through Krama of 108 Asanas, the body simply falls in tune with the Cosmos. 2. PRANAYAMA PRANAYAMA IS A TERM THAT REFERS TO THE BREATHING PROCESS. THE AIR YOU BREATHE IS JUST A VEHICLE IN WHICH THE PRANA (LIFE-ENERGY) COMES IN AND GOES OUT OF YOUR BODY. WHEN YOU INHALE, THE AIR COMES IN CARRYING PRANA, AND WHEN YOU EXHALE, THE 'EMPTY' AIR GOES OUT. THIS LIFE ENERGY IS UNIVERSAL. YOGA KUNDALI-UPANISHAD I. 19 STATES: प्राणरोधमथेदानीं प्रवक्ष्यामि समासतः । प्राणश्च देहगो वायुरायामः कुम्भकः स्मृतः ॥ १९ ॥ PRĀṆARODHAMATHEDĀNīṁ PRAVAKṢYĀMI SAMĀSATaḥ | PRĀṆAŚCA DEHAGO VĀYURĀYĀMaḥ KUMBHAKAḥ SMṛTAḥ ॥ 19 ॥ AKASHIC REVELATION THEN I SHALL PRESENTLY RELATE BRIEFLY ABOUT THE CONTROL OF THE VITAL AIR. PRANA IS AIR COURSING THROUGH THE BODY AND AYAMA IS SAID TO BE KUMBHAKA (HOLDING UNDER CONTROL). PARAMAŚIVA DESCRIBES PRANAYAMA AS BEING COMPOSED OF THREE PROCESSES: RECAKA, PURAKA, AND KUMBHAKA. PURAKA MEANS THE INHALATION OF PRANA FROM OUTSIDE THE BODY; KUMBHAKA REFERS TO HOLDING THE BREATH LIKE A FILLED-UP POT WITHOUT MOVING THE LIMBS, AND RECAKA REFERS TO THE EXHALATION OF AIR FROM THE BODY. 2. PRANAYAMA Consistent and proper practice of Pranayama increases our life energy, giving us greater mental abilities, slowing the aging process, ridding the body of diseases, fatigue and thirst, and helping us manifest divine powers such as levitation, teleportation, and materialization. Pranayama is where Yoga reveals itself as much more than a mere physical practice. No other discipline has understood and presented the means to regulate and expand one's own life energy like Yoga. The practice of Pranayama leads to the purification of the energy body and its channels, called Nadis (Yogatattvopanishad 44-46), and to the ultimate experience of manifesting the powers of Paramaśiva (e.g. Kumbhaka Paddhati 88-89). Through proper Asanas, physical well-being is achieved, muscles are toned, the nervous system is strengthened, and vital organs are regulated and brought into a state of health (Hathatatvakaumudi 2. 5). Thus the body becomes ready for Pranayama (Darshanopanishad, 3. 13). It is with Pranayama that the real technique of Yoga begins. 3. MUDRA THERE IS A CONSTANT INFLOW OF PRANA HAPPENING IN OUR BODIES THROUGH THE NADIS AND CHAKRAS, BUT MUCH OF IT USUALLY GETS DISSIPATED INTO THE EXTERNAL WORLD. THIS DISSIPATION INTO THE EXTERNAL WORLD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FEELING OF TIREDNESS, CONFUSION AND POWERLESSNESS THAT WE EXPERIENCE. MUDRĀ (A SANSKRIT WORD MEANING “SEAL”) REFERS TO THE POSITIONING OF THE LIMBS, FINGERS OR EVEN TONGUE IN A CERTAIN WAY TO SEAL THIS PRANA INTO OUR BODY, A WAY OF ALIGNING TO THE COSMIC GEOMETRY. THE SPH DEFINES MUDRAS SIMPLY AS AN “ENERGY CIRCUIT CONNECTION.” MUDRAS ARE A WAY TO STIMULATE THE FLOW OF PRANA SHAKTI (LIFE FORCE ENERGY AND COSMIC CURRENCY) INSIDE US. MUDRAS ARE PSYCHO-PHYSICAL PROCESSES, WHICH HELP ACCELERATE THE EFFECT OF AN ĀSANA AND PRANAYAMA TO TAKE US TO A HIGHER STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS. BY POSITIONING THE BODY IN CERTAIN WAYS TO BLOCK THE DISSIPATION OF PRANA AND DIRECT IT INWARDS, MUDRAS CREATE THE SPACE FOR PRATYAHARA AND DHARANA, THE HIGHER EXPERIENCES OF YOGA, TO HAPPEN IN US. THROUGHOUT THE TRITHIYA VINYASA KRAMA, YOU WILL EXPERIENCE MUDRAS OF THE HANDS AND OF THE GAZE, CALLED DRISHTI. 3. MUDRA The Shastras (scriptures that are direct revelations from Paramaśiva) reveal the layers of benefits that can result from the integrated practice of mudras, ranging from health and longevity, to mental focus, awakening the subtle grooves of the brain responsible for higher emotions such as devotion and gratitude, to the ultimate experience of transcending our limiting cognitions we carry as human beings and living and radiating the state, space and shaktis of Paramaśiva himself. It is mentioned repeatedly in the scriptures that initiation by the Guru holds the “Master Key”, that can transform us from human beings into superhuman beings. Paramaśiva himself. It is mentioned repeatedly in the scriptures that initiation by the Guru holds the “Master Key”, that can transform us from human beings into superhuman beings. 3.

BY THIS MEANS, ALL THE VESSELS OF THE BODY ARE ROUSED AND STIRRED INTO ACTIVITY; LIFE IS INCREASED AND ITS DECAY IS CHECKED, AND ALL SINS DESTROYED. ALL DISEASES ARE HEALED, AND THE GASTRIC FIRE IS INCREASED. IT GIVES FAULTLESS BEAUTY TO THE BODY, AND DESTROYS DECAY AND DEATH. ALL FRUITS OF DESIRE AND PLEASURE ARE OBTAINED, AND THE SENSES ARE CONQUERED. THE YOGI FIXED IN RESTFUL AWARENESS ACQUIRES ALL THE ABOVE-MENTIONED THINGS, THROUGH PRACTICE. THERE SHOULD BE NO HESITATION IN DOING SO. (18) 3. MUDRA RESEARCH HAS REVEALED THE HEALTH BENEFITS GAINED BY PRACTICING MUDRAS INCLUDE FREEDOM FROM DISEASE, HUNGER, THIRST, FAINTING, FATIGUE, INDIGESTION, SKIN DISEASES, CONSTIPATION AND MORE. BESIDES THIS, MUDRAS DIRECTLY ACTIVATE THE PRANA AND AWAKEN THE INNER POTENTIAL ENERGY (KUNDALINI SHAKTI) IN US, MANIFESTING THE SPACE, STATE AND SHAKTIS OF PARAMAŚIVA. MUDRAS ARE A CRUCIAL COMPONENT OF THE YOGIC METHOD FOR KUNDALINI AWAKENING. KUNDALINI IS THE ULTIMATE INNER POTENTIAL BIO-ENERGY THAT IS AVAILABLE TO EACH ONE OF US. IT IS THE LARGEST UNTAPPED NATURAL RESOURCE LYING WITH HUMANITY.

WHEN KUNDALINI ENERGY IS AWAKENED WITH THE RIGHT KNOWLEDGE, RIGHT CONTEXT, RIGHT UNDERSTANDING, RIGHT TECHNIQUE, RIGHT PROCESS, AND ABOVE ALL, THROUGH THE DIRECT DEEEKSHA (INITIATION) BY A LIVING AVATAR (INCARNATION), IT CAN GIVE US ANYTHING WE WANT. 4. BANDHA BANDHA IS INTERNAL AWAKENING OF THE KUNDALINI SHAKTI. IT IS A SANSKRIT TERM THAT MEANS 'CONDUCIVE TO'. IT IS THE ACTIVE MAINTENANCE OF A STATE OF CONTRACTION OR PRESSURE IN THE BODY BY THE YOGI, INITIALLY PRACTICED AND EVENTUALLY NATURALLY OCCURRING CONTRACTIONS OF DIFFERENT BODY PARTS. BANDHAS ARE PERFORMED BY MAKING MUSCULAR AND DIAPHRAGM CONTRACTIONS IN SPECIFIC PARTS OF THE BODY THAT PUMP ENERGY INTO DORMANT OR STAGNANT AREAS OF THE BODY. WITHOUT BANDHAS, ENERGY TENDS TO LEAK OUT, TENDS TO BE BLOCKED, OR DISSIPATED DUE TO OUR LIFESTYLE ETC. HERE BANDHAS ARE THE BRIDGE BETWEEN THE DISCONNECTED AREAS OF THE ENERGY CIRCUIT. THIS IS THE REASON THAT THIS PUMPING AND RE-ALIGNMENT OF PRANA (VITAL LIFE ENERGY) AND KUNDALINI SHAKTI (INHERENT POTENTIAL ENERGY), BRINGS TREMENDOUS HEALING AND BALANCING TO THE PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL AND NEUROLOGICAL SYSTEMS. 4.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MUDRA AND BANDHA IS THAT THE BANDHA IS PRACTISING A FOCUS, AND MAINTAINING THAT LOCK AS LONG AS POSSIBLE, WHEREAS THE ACTIONS OF CONTRACTING AND RELEASING ARE MORE INDICATIVE OF A MUDRA. BANDHAS ASSIST IN PUSHING THE KUNDALINI ENERGY UP THE SPINE. THE MUSCULAR CONTRACTIONS HELP PREVENT THE ENERGY FROM FLOWING BACK DOWNWARDS AND GETTING DISSIPATED. THESE BANDHAS GENERATE A CERTAIN FLOW ALONG THE SPINAL COLUMN, WHERE THERE ARE ENERGY POINTS CALLED CHAKRAS WHICH CORRESPOND TO MAJOR REGULATORY GLANDS IN THE BODY AND ALSO SERVE AS STOREHOUSES AND DISTRIBUTION HOUSES FOR PRANA SHAKTI. 4. BANDHA MŪLA BANDHA (मूल बंध) KNOWN AS THE ROOT LOCK THAT HAPPENS AND WORKS WITH THE MŪLADHARA CHAKRA. IT IS A CONTRACTION OF THE PELVIC FLOOR MUSCLES. PRANIC ENERGY WHICH NORMALLY FLOWS OUT OF THE BODY IS PREVENTED FROM LEAKING AND INSTEAD RAISED TO THE HIGHER CHAKRA ENERGY CENTERS ALONG THE SPINE. LOCKING THIS FLOW OF ENERGY AT THE BASE OF THE SPINE IS REFERRED TO AS YONI BANDHA. MŪLA-BANDHA IS THE MOST IMPORTANT BANDHA AND SHOULD BE MAINTAINED DURING BREATHING EXERCISE. THE BENEFIT IS THAT IT BRINGS PERPETUAL YOUTH. UḌḌĪYANA BANDHA (जालन्धर बन्ध) KNOWN AS THE ABDOMINAL LOCK AND THEREFORE HAPPENS IN AND WORKS WITH THE MANIPURAKA CHAKRA. IT IS PERFORMED BY BRINGING THE NAVEL INWARDS, TOWARDS THE SPINE. THROUGH THIS ACTION, PRANA FLOWS MORE EASILY INTO THE SUṢHUMNA NADI, THE CENTRAL ENERGY CHANNEL ALONG THE SPINE WHERE THE KUNDALINI ENERGY CAN MOVE UP THE CHAKRA CENTERS. 4. BANDHA JALANDHARA BANDHA (जालन्धर बंध) KNOWN AS THE THROAT LOCK THEREFOR IT HAPPENS IN AND WORKS WITH THE VISHUDDHI CHAKRA. IT IS PERFORMED BY PRESSING THE CHIN AGAINST THE THROAT BETWEEN THE COLLAR BONES. THIS CAUSES PRESSURE ON THE NECK, WHICH IS THE CENTER OF EXTREME PURITY (VISHUDDHA CHAKRA). THIS ACTION PREVENTS THE NECTAR (AMRITA) AND PRANA SHAKTI FLOWING FROM THE HEAD TO DROP BACK DOWN INTO THE ABDOMEN. MANY PATHWAYS FOR THIS PRANA SHAKTHI, NERVES, AND BLOOD CAPILLARIES PASS THROUGH THE NECK. THIS BANDHA ASSISTS THEIR FUNCTION IN THE AREA OF THE HEAD, THROAT AND SHOULDERS. MAHĀ BANDHA (महा बंध) KNOWN AS THE TRYANBANDHA, THE COMBINATION OF THE THREE PREVIOUS BANDHAS TOGETHER. IT IS PERFORMED IN SEQUENTIAL ORDER, OR IT HAPPENS AUTOMATICALLY FOR THE MORE ADVANCED YOGI. IT HAS A POWERFUL EFFECT TO AWAKEN THE KUNDALINI SHAKTI, CIRCULATING ENERGY THROUGH ALL THE CHAKRAS, AND PIERCE THROUGH THE PSYCHO/PHYSICAL KNOTS KNOWN AS GRANTHIS. THIS LEADS TO A STRONGER PHYSIOLOGY READY TO RADIATE THE STATE, SPACE AND POWERS OF PARAMAŚIVATTVĀ! 4. BANDHA THE SEVEN CHAKRAS, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH EACH BANDHA ARE: MÜLADHARA - THE ROOT CHAKRA LOCATED IN THE PERINEUM AND ASSOCIATED WITH THE ADRENALS. SWADHISHTHANA - CHAKRA LOCATED AT THE LEVEL OF THE PUBLIC BONE AND ASSOCIATED WITH THE REPRO- DUCTIVE ORGANS. MANIPURAKA - CHAKRA LOCATED AT THE NAVEL AND ASSOCIATED WITH THE PANCREAS AND ADRENALS ANAHATA - CHAKRA LOCATED AT THE HEART CENTER AND ASSOCIATED WITH THE THYMUS GLAND VISHUDDHI - CHAKRA LOCATED AT THE THROAT AND ASSOCIATED WITH THE THYROIDS. AJNA - CHAKRA LOCATED AT THE POINT BETWEEN THE EYEBROWS AND ASSOCIATED WITH THE PINEAL GLAND SAHASRARA - CHAKRA LOCATED AT THE CROWN OF THE HEAD AND ASSOCIATED WITH THE PITUITARY GLAND THE CHAKRAS ARE SUBTLE ENERGY CENTERS AND NOT PHYSICAL ORGANS. PERFORMING BANDHAS HELP TO PUSH THE KUNDALINI ENERGY UPWARD THROUGH THE CHAKRAS. THEREBY DISEASES CAN BE CURED AND THE FUNCTION OF THEIR ASSOCIATED PHYSICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL AND NEUROLOGICAL SYSTEMS CAN BE OPTIMIZED. 5. KARANA THE NATYASHASTRA DESCRIBES 'THE COMBINED MOVEMENT OF THE HANDS AND FEET' AS A KARANA IN SACRED DANCE. IT INVOLVES SYNCHRONIZED MOVEMENTS OF THE FEET, HIPS, HANDS AND EVEN THE FINGERS. THE 108 KARANAS CAN BE SEEN FROZEN IN VARIOUS TEMPLE SCULPTURES AND WERE USED IN THE SACRED DANCE. FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME, THE SPY NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM REVEALS THE EFFECT OF KARANAS ON THE BODY AND MIND AND THE BREATHING PATTERNS THAT THEY TRIGGER. PERFORMING THE KARANAS PUTS YOU INTO A STATE OF HIGH AWARENESS OF YOUR BODY ENGAGING MULTIPLE BODY PARTS AT THE SAME TIME. THE HALF SQUATTING POSITION COMMONLY CALLED THE ARIA MANDI IS COMMON TO MOST KARANAS, WHICH WHEN PERFORMED ALIGNS THE BODY TO THE ALIGNMENT OF THE COSMOS. SEVERAL TRIANGLES CAN BE DRAWN ALONG THE LINES OF THE BODY, THEREFORE THIS POSTURE ENABLES THE MICROCOSM TO CONNECT TO THE MACROCOSM. THE SEVEN CHAKRAS ARE IN COMPLETE ALIGNMENT AND AIDS THE KUNDALINI TO RAISE TO THE SAHASRARA. 5. KARANA THESE 108 KARANAS WERE REVEALED BY PARAMAŚIVA TO HIS GANA TANDU WHO THEN TEACHES IT TO BHARATA – THE AUTHOR OF THE NATYASHASTRA. THE KARANAS INCORPORATED INTO THE PRATHAMA VINYASA KRAMA ARE URDHVAJANU, ARDHASVASTIKA, ANCHITA, GHURNITA, KATICHINNA, NIKUTTAKA AND VALITA. THE SPH NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM DELIVERS A MAJOR CONSCIOUS BREAKTHROUGH TO THE FIELD OF YOGA THROUGH INCORPORATING THESE DANCE MOVEMENTS. THROUGH PARAMAŚIVA'S IN-DEPTH INSTRUCTIONS, ENERGY AND MOVEMENT IS TAKEN TO THE NEXT LEVEL, AS SEEN IN THIS EXAMPLE OF KARANA: TALAPUSHPAPU TAM ॥ वामे पुष्पपुटः पार्श्वे पादौःग्रतालसञ्चरः तथा च सन्नत पार्श्वे तलपुष्पपुटं भवेत् ॥॥ || VĀME PUṢPAPUṬAḥ PĀRŚVE PĀDO'GRATALASAÑCARAḥ TATHĀ CA SANNATAM PĀRŚVAM TALAPUṢPAPUṬAM BHAVET || AKASHIC REVELATION ON THE LEFT SIDE, PUSHPAPUTA IN THE HAND, FOOT

IN AGRATALASANCHARA, AND SANNATA ON THE SIDE RESULTS IN TALA-PUSHPAPUTA. 6. VISUALIZATION TEJO 'BINDU UPANISHAD I. 29 हष्टी ज्ञानमयी कृत्वा पश्येद्ब्रह्ममयं जगत् । सा हष्टी: परमोदारा न नासाग्रावलोकिनी ॥ २९ ॥ DRṢṬIṂ JÑĀNAMAYĪṂ KṚTVĀ PAŚYEDBRAHMAMAYAṂ JAGAT | SĀ DRṢṬIṂH PARAMODĀRĀ NA NĀSĀGRĀVALOKINĪ || 29 || AKASHIC REVELATION WHEN SEEN WITH THE SIGHT OF PURE KNOWLEDGE, THE UNIVERSE APPEARS FILLED WITH THE ESSENCE OF BRAHMAN, THE ULTIMATE EXPANSIVE CONSCIOUSNESS. IT IS THAT SIGHT [DRṢṬIḤ] WHICH UPLIFTS AND RAISES, NOT THE LOOKING AT THE TIP OF ONE'S NOSE. IN THE SCIENCE OF YOGA, CONTEXT AND INTENTION ARE EVERYTHING. WHY YOU BEND YOUR BODY MATTERS: FOR WHATEVER INTENTION YOU MOVE THE BODY, THAT EXPERIENCE WILL BE DELIVERED TO YOU. THAT IS WHY IN KAILASA'S NITHYANANDA YOGA, WE MAINTAIN THE SPACE OF YOGA AS A RITUAL, AS A DIRECT CONNECTION BETWEEN PARAMASHIVAM AND US. WITH EVERY ASANA, IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN A STRONG VISUALIZATION OF THAT ASANA. MANY ASANA NAMES ARE A DIRECT MEDITATION UPON DIFFERENT GODS AND GODDESSES. SOME ASANAS TAKE THE FORM OF SPECIFIC ANIMALS OR OTHER LIVING CREATURES. WHEN WE KEEP A CLEAR VISUALIZATION OF EACH FORM WE ARE EMBODYING, THE BODY CAN SETTLE INTO THE DEPTH-EXPERIENCE OF EACH AND EVERY POSTURE. MANY TIMES PARAMAŚIVA TELLS IN THE SCRIPTURES THAT ONENESS CAN BE EXPERIENCED THROUGH SEEING HIM IN EVERYTHING, IN EACH AND EVERY POINT WE BRING OUR GAZE TO. THROUGH THE SEQUENCE OF 108 ASANAS, YOU WILL BE GUIDED TO MEDITATE UPON SPECIFIC VISUALIZATIONS FOR EACH ASANA. 7. JAPA JAPA IS THE INTERNAL CHANTING OF A MANTRA WITH THE VISUALIZATION OF IT ROTATING AROUND THE THROAT IN A CIRCULAR WAY, ALLOWING THE YOGI TO FEEL THE MILD VIBRATION OF THAT MANTRA. WHEN CHANTING, WEAR AN ENERGIZED RUDRAKSHA BEAD EXACTLY ON THE VISHUDDHI CHAKRA, IN THE HOLLOW OF THE THROAT. THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE THE AIR IS GETTING CONVERTED INTO SOUND. IF YOU WEAR ENERGIZED RUDRAKSHA THERE, CONSTANTLY EVERY WORD COMING OUT WILL HAVE THE COAT OF THAT MANTRA. IT BECOMES LIKE THE AJAPA JAPA. YOU WILL SEE THIS RUDRAKSHA AND THE MILD VIBRATION MEETING, AND THE KUNDALINI IN YOU WILL BE AWAKENED. AJAPA JAPA IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL PROCESS AND TECHNIQUE. IT RELEASES A CERTAIN KIND OF ENERGY FROM OUR BODY, AND NECTAR FROM THE THROAT. WHEN YOU DO AJAPA JAPA, IT IS NOT THAT EVERY SECOND YOU CHANT ONCE; YOUR HEART CHANTS, YOUR LUNGS CHANT, YOUR THROAT CHANTS! THE MORE AND MORE DEEP IT GOES INTO YOUR BEING, MORE AND MORE PARTS OF YOUR BEING RESONATES WITH THAT. MAHAVAKYA MANTRAS REFERS TO THE ULTIMATE MANTRAS OF ALL MANTRAS, USED TO INVOKE THE DIVINE PRESENCE. THROUGHOUT THE DVITHIYA VINYASA KRAMA, WE IMPLEMENT MANTRAS AND MAHAVAKYAS AS POWERFUL JAPAS (REPETITIVE CHANTS) WHILE BENDING THE BODY. THESE MANTRAS WERE GIFTED BY THE SPH NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM TO DIRECT CONNECT US TO PARAMAŚIVA. THE FOLLOWING PAGE SHOWS THE JAPAS USED THROUGHOUT THE 108, 308 AND 508 ASANA SEQUENCES. ~ SOHAM ~ ~ SHIVOHAM ~ ~ SADASHIVOHAM ~ ~ MAHASADASHIVOHAM ~ ~ OM NITHYANANDOHAM ~ ~ OM NITHYANANDA MAHASADASHIVOHAM ~ ~ OM NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVOHAM ~ 8. CHANTING HATHATATVAKAUMUDI 18. 6 EXPLAINING THE BENEFITS OF CHANTING: यतस्य देवता माया विरूपकरणाश्रया । स्वप्नेऽपि न भवेतस्य नित्यं द्वादशजाप्यतः ॥ ६ ॥ YATTASYA DEVATĀ MĀYĀ VIRŪPAKARAṆĀŚRAYĀ | SVAPNE’PI NA BHAVETTASYA NITYAṀ DVĀDAŚAJĀPYATAH || 6 | AKASHIC REVELATION BY THE GRACE OF THE DEITY BEING ADORED, ONE WILL NOT FACE DISTRACTION EVEN IN DREAM STATE IF ONE CHANTS (MANTRA) 12 TIMES EVERY DAY. MANTRA IS A SANSKRIT WORD THAT DESCRIBES A SACRED UTTERANCE, A SOUND, A SYLLABLE, A SINGLE WORD OR A GROUP OF WORDS. A MANTRA HAS SPIRITUAL POWERS WITH OR WITHOUT SYNTACTIC OR LITERAL MEANING. A DISCIPLE NEEDS TO BE INITIATED INTO A MANTRA BY HIS GURU, USING THE RIGHT PROCEDURES (MANTRA DEEKSHA) FOR THE MANTRA TO HAVE ITS MAXIMUM POTENCY FOR THAT INDIVIDUAL. IT IS GIVEN BY THE GURU AND RECEIVED WITH GRATITUDE AND RESPECT BY THE DISCIPLE. CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS ARE GIVEN ABOUT THE NUMBER OF REPETITIONS, THE RIGHT SPEED AND DURATION OF CHANTING, IN ORDER TO EXPERIENCE THE TRUTH OF THE MANTRA. 8. CHANTING PARAMAŚIVA IS LIGHT (CONSCIOUSNESS) WHILE PARASHAKTI IS SOUND (CREATION). BY MANTRAS, A YOGI CAN UNCLUTCH FROM EXTERNAL THINGS AND BE ABSORBED IN THE SOUNDS OF THE MANTRA. THE GOAL IS TO FOCUS MORE AND MORE ON THE SUBTLE SOUND. BY ABANDONING THE THOUGHTS, A YOGI LEARNS TO LISTEN TO THE NADA. NADA IS A SOUND WHICH IS BASED ON THE PREMISE THAT THE ENTIRE COSMOS CONSISTS OF SOUND VIBRATION. THE PRACTISE OF LISTENING TO NADA LEADS TO ONENESS WITH THE ULTIMATE, WITH MAHAPARAMAŚIVA. THEREFORE, MANTRAS LEAD A YOGI TO LIVE AND RADIATE THE STATE AND SPACE OF PARAMAŚIVA. WHEN THE BODY BENDS IN A SEQUENCE OF ASANAS, THE AURA (ENERGY SURROUNDING ANY PERSON) OPENS UP; THEREFORE, ONLY THE HIGHEST VIBRATIONAL SOUNDS SHOULD BE ENTERING THE SPACE. THAT IS WHY IN KAILASA'S NITHYANANDA YOGA, THE SANSKRIT PRAMANAS (SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES FROM SOURCE TEXTS) ARE CONTINUOUSLY CHANTED OUT LOUD THROUGHOUT THE VINYASA KRAMAS. AS THE AURA, OR ENERGY BODY, IS VULNERABLE AND OPENED UP WHILE BENDING THE BODY IN YOGA, THE SOUNDS LISTENED TO MATTER DEEPLY. WHATEVER VERBALIZATIONS YOU HEAR DURING THAT TIME IMPACT YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS DIRECTLY. THE SANSKRIT WORDS OF MAHAPARAMAŚIVA ARE THE MOST POWERFUL VERBALIZATIONS THAT CAN HIT YOUR SYSTEM AT THIS TIME. 9. WEIGHTS LONG BEFORE THE RISE OF MODERN DAY BODYBUILDING METHODS, IN THE VEDIC CIVILIZATION, WEIGHTS WERE APPLIED TO THE BODY AS A METHOD TO RAISE KUNDALINI, EXPAND ONE'S CONSCIOUSNESS AND CONNECT TO THE DIVINE, PARAMAŚIVA. THE SPH NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM HAS YET AGAIN, REVEALED ANOTHER ANCIENT SCIENCE THAT BREAKS THE MOLD AND BOX THAT YOGA HAS BEEN PLACED INTO; IF YOU WANT TO TRULY EXPAND YOUR YOGA PRACTICE ON THE MAT, SIMPLY APPLY EXTERNAL WEIGHT TO THE BODY. THROUGHOUT HIS DIVINE LEELA, THE SPH NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM HAS STATED ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS OF THE IMPORTANCE OF BUILDING THE PHYSICAL BODY AND HOW IT LEADS TO VARIOUS DIFFERENT BENEFITS: YOU WILL STOP FALLING INTO DEPRESSION, YOU WILL BECOME CENTERED INTO INTEGRITY, YOU WILL GO BEYOND TIREDNESS. THIS IS WHY THE SPH NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM SAYS, "WEIGHT-LIFTING IS A SPIRITUAL QUALITY! I STRONGLY PROMOTE, SUPPORT ALL THE ACTIVITIES OF YOU WORKING ON YOUR BODY, LIKE WEIGHT- LIFTING, BODYBUILDING, EVERYTHING." WITH THIS AS A PART OF HIS VISION FOR HUMANITY, THE SPH NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM HAS DONE INTENSE SELF RESEARCH AND HAS HAD A NUMBER OF AKASHIC REVELATIONS (REVELATIONS FROM THE COSMIC ARCHIVES), AND HAS SHARED HOW THIS SCIENCE WAS LIVED BY THE NATHA PANTHIS, THE NATHA SAMPRADHAYA YOGIS, WHO USED WEIGHTS IN COMBINATION WITH THEIR YOGA PRACTICES. 9. WEIGHTS FROM HEAVY STONES TO WOODEN LOGS, WEIGHT-LIFTING IS NOT SOMETHING NEW TO THE VEDIC TRADITION. THERE ARE VARIOUS BENEFITS OF ADDING WEIGHTS, SUCH AS AN INCREASE IN FLEXIBILITY, IMPROVEMENT IN STRENGTH AND THE DEEP, HEAVY BREATHING OR PRANAYAMA THAT IS INVOLVED.

THE ANCIENT METHOD OF WEIGHT-LIFTING BUILT INTO THE YOGA-ASANA PRACTICE IS A YOGIC SCIENCE INVOLVING TRADITIONAL WEIGHTS CALLED “KARANA KATTAI” (COMMONLY KNOWN TODAY AS “KARALA KATTAI”). AND IS THE REASON WHY THE NATHA YOGIS ARE CALLED “KARNA YOGIS”. A KARANA KATTAI IS A FORM OF WOODEN STICK, OR HEAVY WOOD HELD IN EITHER ONE OR BOTH HANDS. TODAY, THE SPH NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, HAS REVIVED AND EVOLVED YET ANOTHER VEDIC SCIENCE, THIS TIME WITH THE REVELA- TION OF ADDING WEIGHTS, IN THE FORM OF KARANA KATTAIS, IN THE VARIOUS KAILASA'S NITHYANANDA YOGA ASANA SEQUENCES, WHICH IS BEING GIFTED TO HUMANITY, FOR THE FIRST TIME, NITHYANANDA YOGA VINYASA KRAMA SEQUENCES. HOWEVER, THE SPH NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM SAYS THERE SHOULD BE CLEAR DEFINITIONS OF WHAT WEIGHT SHOULD BE USED AT THE BEGINNING AND HOW THAT WEIGHT SHOULD BE DISPERSED AS YOU PROGRESS. HE SAYS, “THE NATHA YOGIS DID NOT BELIEVE IN HAVING EQUAL WEIGHTS IN BOTH THE HANDS. IF YOU ARE MALE, YOUR LEFT SIDE SHOULD HAVE MORE WEIGHT. IF YOU ARE FEMALE, YOUR RIGHT SIDE SHOULD HAVE MORE WEIGHT. SO THEY HAVE A CLEAR PROPORTION.” THE UNIQUE METHOD OF UTILIZING WEIGHTS WITH A SPECIFIC HAND ALSO LEADS TO AMAZING HEALTH BENEFITS. IN ANOTHER AKASHIC REVELATION, THE SPH NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM REVEALED THAT ANYONE WITH A HEART PROBLEM COULD ADD ONE ½ KG WEIGHT TO THE RIGHT HAND AND IT WILL BE COMPLETELY HEALED. THUS, BY ADDING WEIGHTS WITH YOGA, IT WILL HEAL THE WHOLE BODY IN VARIOUS DIMENSIONS. 10. MANDALA MANDALA IS A REPRESENTATION OF THE COSMOS, AND THE HUMAN BODY IS ANALOGOUS TO THE COSMOS ITSELF. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM HAS STATED, “MANDALAS (REPRESENTING THE COSMOS) AND YANTRA (REPRESENTING A PARTICULAR DEITY) CORRESPOND TO THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF RETINAL AND GENICULATE CELLS. THEIR CONSTRUCTION IS BASED ON THE TANTRIC SEERS’ INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE MINDS’ NATURE, ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH SUBTLE CHANNELS OF ENERGY (NADIS) IN THE BODY, AND THE HUMAN NEED FOR A SYMBOLIC LIFE.” YANTRA IS A DIAGRAM INTO WHICH A DEITY CAN BE INVITED BY USING THE CORRESPONDING MANTRA. THEY CAN BE USED TOWARDS ACHIEVING ONENESS OR SELF REALISATION. THE SYMBOLISM OF YANTRA REPRESENTS A UNIVERSAL PATTERN AND THE MANTRA, THE COSMIC SOUND. THE COMBINATION OF THE TWO HELPS THE SADHAK (YOGI PERFORMING THE YOGA) TO TRANSCEND THE NORMAL FRAME OF REFERENCE AND ACHIEVE A HIGHER STATE OF AWARENESS, IN WHICH THE INDIVIDUAL BEING AND THE UNIVERSAL BEING ARE ONE. 10. MANDALA SHAASTRA PRAMANA DEVIRAHASYA, REVEALED BY BHAIRAVA अथाहं ते प्रवक्ष्यामि भवान्या यन्त्रमुत्तमम् | मूलमन्त्र रहस्याढयं सर्वसिद्धिप्रदायकम् || बिन्दुस्त्रिकोण च षडश्रयुक्तवृत च नागार्कलादलाढयम् | वृत्तत्रयं भूसधानत्रयं स्यात् श्रीचक्रमानन्दपदं भवान्या: || ATHĀHAṁ TE PRAVAKṢYĀMI BHAVĀNYĀ YANTRAMUTTAMAM | MŪLAMANTRARAHASYĀḌHYĀM SARVASIDDHIPRADĀYAKAM || 50 || BINDUSTRIKOṆAṂ CA ṢAḌAŚRAYUKTAṂ VṚTTAṂ CA NĀGĀRAKALĀDĀLĀḌHYAM | VṚTTATRAYAṂ BHŪSADANATRAYAṂ SYĀT ŚRĪCAKRAMĀNANDAPADAṂ BHAVĀNYĀḤ || 51 || AKASHIC REVELATION Now I shall reveal the Yantra of Bhavani who is adorned with the Mula Mantra and that which bestows all Sid- dhis. The Srichakra of Bhavani that resonates with the state of Bliss, has a Nindu, Trikona, has a Hexagon, Circle, Naagaarakalaa dalaad-hyam. It has three Circles, it has three Houses called Bhu 10. MANDALA THE SRI YANTRA/MANDALA REPRESENTS...

• THE COSMIC FORM (THE DIAGRAM OF EVOLUTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COSMOS)
• THE FORM OF THE HUMAN ORGANISM (THE DIAGRAM OF THE INNER CIRCUITS OF THE BODY)
• THE FORM OF THE GODDESS TRIPURA SUNDARI (BECAUSE THE GODDESS IS ENERGY, WHICH PERVADES THE ENTIRE PHENOMENAL WORLD) IN THE SRI CHAKRA, THE 5 DOWNWARD POINTING TRIANGLES OR SHAKTI TRIANGLES ARE MANIFESTED AS 5 TANMATRAS (SOUND, TOUCH, SIGHT, TASTE, SMELL), FIVE MAHABHUTAS (AKASHA, AIR, FIRE, WATER AND EARTH), FIVE SENSE ORGANS (EAR, SKIN, EYES, TONGUE AND NOSE), AND FIVE ORGANS OF ACTION (HANDS, FEET, MOUTH, GENITALS AND ANUS). IN THE HUMAN BODY, THESE 5 ELEMENTS ARE SKIN, NERVES, FLESH, FAT AND BONES.

10. MANDALA The 4 upward pointing tri- angles which are Shiva triangles, represent the male energy and exist as Chitta (being), Buddhi (intellect), Ahamkar (ego) and Manas (mind). The Bindu (circle) in the center represents the Divine Mother, the Bindu in the Sahasrara Chakra represents the individual consciousness, which is the Self, Jiva. In the Thrithiya Vinyasa Krama, we will be practicing Yoga on the mat along with Sri Yantras energized by the SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam. With the presence of this Mandala, the pure consciousness of Paramaśiva and Parashakti will be infused into the biomemory.
11. ABHARANĀ IN THE VEDAGAMIC LIFESTYLE, ABHARANĀ OR JEWELRY IS NOT ONLY WORN FOR DECORATIVE PURPOSES BUT HAS A SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE. EACH METAL AND JEWEL HOLDS A CERTAIN ENERGY AND PROVIDES SPECIFIC BENEFITS TO THE BODY WHEN WORN. AS A RESULT, PEOPLE ADORN THEMSELVES FULLY FROM HEAD TO TOE. RUDRAKSHA JEWELRY IS THE TRADITIONAL ABHARANĀ WORN BY PARAMAŚIVA, AND WHILE PERFORMING THE THRITHIYA VINYASA KRAMA (TVK). AS THE MANIFESTATION OF THE TEARDROP FROM PARAMAŚIVA'S THIRD EYE, THE RUDRAKSHA ENERGY BEAD IS ABLE TO HOLD AND RADIATE ENERGY UNLIKE ANY OTHER STONE. THE SUNDARA VADAM AND THE KANTHA MALA ARE THE CHOSEN ABHARANA BY THE SPH NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM FOR THE VINYASA KRAMA SEQUENCE. PARAMAŚIVA SPECIFICALLY MENTIONS HOW SHIVA BHAKTAS SHOULD ADORN THEMSELVES:

ABHARANA The Sundara Vadam are the traditional Rudraksha earrings which provide balance to the body while performing the TVK Sequence. They also increase the space of listening in the yogi, allowing them to tune their body to the cosmic geometry during the practice. Wearing the Rudraksha necklace on the Vishuddhi chakra as the Kantḥa Mala given by the Guru radiates the energy of the mantra initiated by the Guru, acting as a mechanized japa for the yogi. Performing the TVK sequence while wearing the Kanta Mala and Sundara Vadam takes the ritual of yoga to the next level, infusing the yogi with the master's energy and Oneness space at all times. 11. ABHARANA MAKUTA AGAMA FROM PARASHIVA TO RUDRA, RUDRAKSHADHĀRANAM, KRIYA PĀDA केयुरकटके सूत्रं कुक्षिबन्धे विशेषतः। सुप्ते पीठे सदाकालं रुद्राक्षं धारयेन्त्रः ॥ KEYŪRAKAṬAKE SŪTRaM KUKṢIBANDHE VIṢEṢATAḥ | SUPTE PĪṬE SADĀKĀLaM RUDRĀKṢaM DHĀRAYENNARAḥ || 19|| त्रिशतं त्वधमं पञ्चशतं मध्यममुच्यते | सहसमुत्तमं प्रोक्तमेवं भेदेन धारयेत् ॥ 20॥ TRIṢATaM TVADHAMAṂ PAÑCAṢATaM MADHYAMA- MUCYATE | SAHASARAMUTTAMAṂ PROKTAMEVaM BHEDENA DHĀRAYET || 20|| AKASHIC REVELATION A SHIVA BHAKTA SHOULD WEAR RUDRAKSHAS ROUND HIS CROWN, EARRING, CHAIN, ROUND THE EAR, ARMLET, AT ALL TIMES, AND SPECIALLY ROUND THE STOMACH (KUKṢIBANDHA), WHILE HE IS SLEEPING, DRINKING, ETC. 12. AUSHADHA AUSHADHA IS THE SACRED ALCHEMY SCIENCE FROM THE ANCIENT SIDDHA TRADITION. IT COMBINES SACRED HERBS, PRANA (THE COSMIC FORCE ENERGY), AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THE SHAKTIPADA (ENTANGLEMENT ENERGY) OF PARAMAŚIVA (THE ULTIMATE), WHICH CAN BE INGESTED OR PHYSICALLY

APPLIED TO ENTER INTO THE BODY. THROUGH THIS ANCIENT SCIENCE, THE STATE, SPACE, AND POWERS OF PARAMAŚIVA CAN BE EXPERIENCED, GIVING ACCESS TO THE 25 STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS. LIKE HOW A PERFECT MIRROR REFLECTS THE SUN PERFECTLY, SO DOES A PERFECT BODY REFLECT CONSCIOUSNESS. THE SCIENCE OF AUSHADHA

SACRED HERBS PREPARED AS PER AGAMAS (SOURCE BOOK OF HINDUISM REVEALED DIRECTLY BY PARAMAŚIVA)

IS A WAY TO MAKE THE BODY LIKE A PURE MIRROR! BECAUSE CERTAIN HERBS ARE CAPABLE OF HOLDING THOUGHT CURRENTS AND TRANSMITTING THEM INTO YOU, THEY CAN BE INFUSED WITH THE ONENESS EXPERIENCE DURING THE AUSHADHA MAKING PROCESS AND DIRECTLY CONSUMED. AUSHADHA HEALS THE PHYSICAL, PHYSIOLOGICAL, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL COMPONENTS OF YOUR BEING BY TEMPERING AND TRANSMUTING THE WHOLE SYSTEM, ALLOWING YOU TO BE A PURE REFLECTION OF PARAMAŚIVA, THE PURE SUPERCONSCIOUSNESS. AS A DIRECT SCIENCE FROM THE AGAMAS, IT IS A DIRECT TEACHING OF PARAMAŚIVA REVIVED BY THE AVATAR TO RAISE HUMANITY TO THE NEXT LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS. 12. AUSHADHA KUMKUM IS PROCESSED TURMERIC. IT ALSO HAS THE CAPACITY TO PENETRATE THE SKIN AND ENTER INTO THE SYSTEM. WHEN APPLIED TO THE BROW CENTER, IT DECALCIFIES THE THIRD EYE, AJNA CHAKRA, AND ALSO ALLOWS YOU TO MANIFEST POWERS. JNANĀNJANA IS AN EYELINER, THE KNOWLEDGE EYELINER, MADE WITH PURE GHEE AND PURE COTTON WICK. THEY ARE LIT BY A LAMP ENERGIZED THROUGH THE AWAKENED THIRD EYE OF AN INCARNATION OR AN ENLIGHTENED BEING. HIS VERY BIO-ENERGY IS INSTILLED IN THAT FIRE AND THE SMOKE WHICH COMES OUT OF THAT FIRE IS CAPTURED ON A SILVER VESSEL AND THE PURE COW GHEE IS ADDED TO THAT. THROUGH THE PROPER PROCESS, AN ALCHEMY PRODUCT CALLED JNANĀNJANA IS PREPARED. THAT JNĀNĀNJANA APPLIED ON THREE EYES, DETOXIFIES ALL THE THREE EYES AND RAISES YOUR FREQUENCY, MAKING YOU UNDERSTAND THE 5 ASPECTS OF ISHVARA, 11 DIMENSIONS OF UNIVERSE, AND 25 STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS - THE WHOLE MAYA MATRIX. JNANĀNJANA, APPLIED ON ALL THREE EYES, MAKES YOU ALL MANIFEST ALL THE POWERS OF PARAMAŚIVA. IT IS ALCHEMY SCIENCE TO MASTER THE MAYA MATRIX. 12. AUSHDHA AUSHADHA IS A KEY COMPONENT OF AUTHENTIC YOGA, TO FULLY ENGAGE ALL THE SENSES AND STIMULATE THE BODY THROUGH THE ALCHEMICAL PROCESSES. THE AUSHADHAS SELECTED FOR THIS PROCESS ARE TURMERIC, KUMKUM, JNANJANJANA, AND SANDALWOOD. TURMERIC IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL WAYS TO DETOXIFY THE BODY AND ABSORB HIGHER LEVELS OF PRANA THROUGHOUT YOUR YOGA PRACTICE. IT HAS THE PROPERTY OF ENTERING THE SYSTEM THROUGH THE SKIN AND DIRECTLY ABSORBING NEURO-TOXINS BUILT UP IN THE BODY. EVERY MICRO MILLIGRAM OF TURMERIC THAT GETS INTO YOUR SYSTEM WILL CLEAN TEN TIMES THAT OF FLUORIDE TOXIN. TURMERIC IS APPLIED TO THE TEMPLES TO COMPLETELY DETOXIFY THE ENTIRE SYSTEM AND HELP YOU MANIFEST POWERS OF PARAMAŚIVA. SANDALWOOD IS USED TO INVOKE DIVINE ENERGIES. IT IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL MEDICINES IN AYURVEDA FOR DETOXING, COOLING THE BODY, HEALING WOUNDS, AND HEALTHY SKIN. IT IS FAMOUS FOR ITS ANTI-AGING QUALITIES BUT ALSO ITS SPIRITUAL PROPERTIES, LIKE CLEARING THE MIND AND REDUCING STRESS. THE SPH NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM USES SANDALWOOD AS ONE OF THE COMPONENTS IN ALL OF HIS AUSHADHA PROCESSES. 12. AUShADHA PARAMAŚIVA REVEALS JÑĀNA-ANJANA IN SRI GURU GITA TO DEVI: अज्ञ-तिमिरन्धस्य ज्न अनजनल्कय कुरुन्मिलत येन तस्मै रिगुरवे नम AJÑĀNA-TIMIRĀNDHASYA JÑĀNA ANJANAŚALĀKAYĀ | CAKŚURUNMILITAM YENA TASMĀI SRIGURAVE NAMĀh | 59 | AKASHIC REVELATION ONE, WHO REMOVES THE BLINDING DARKNESS OF THE EYES, CAUSED BY THE ABSENCE OF TRUE LIBERATING KNOWLEDGE, BY APPLYING JÑĀNA-ANJANA, THE SACRED BLACK EYE-LINER ANOINTING THE THREE EYES, WHICH IS OF THE ESSENCE AND BIO-ENERGY OF PURE KNOWLEDGE, AND AWAKENS THE ALL-PERVASIVE INFINITE EYE, CAKŚUh, THE INTRA-ORGAN THROUGH WHICH 'ALL THAT IS' IS SEEN, ONTO THAT SRI GURU, I SURRENDER. HIS DIVINE HOLINESS PARAMAHAMSA NITYANANDA REVEALS THE BENEFITS OF TURMERIC AND KUMKUM: ATMA PRAMĀNa - आत्म प्रमाण PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA AKASHIC REVELATION RUBBING THE TURMERIC AND APPLYING KUMKUM, THAT DETOXIFIES THE INTRA-ORGAN CALLED THIRD EYE. PUTTING YOUR ATTENTION ON THE THIRD EYE, ACTIVATES SOMETHING CALLED AJNA, MEANS THE ENERGY TO ACTIVATE THE INTRA-ORGAN CALLED THIRD EYE HAPPENS BY PUTTING YOUR ATTENTION ON IT. THE NITHYANANDA YOGA PADDHATI: A DIVINE GIFT TO HUMANITY The Nithyananda Yoga Paddhati is the combination of the Prathama Vinyasa Krama (PVK), Dvitiya Vinyasa Krama (DVK) and Trithiya Vinyasa Krama (TVK) are the first ever sequences of synchronized 108, 308 and 508 traditional asanas. This is yet another divine gift in the field of Yoga delivered by the Avatar the SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam. It is the only Yoga in the world to revive physical postures along with the chanting of their Sanskrit Pramanas and there is no other asana sequence in the world right now which accomplishes 108 asanas within 42 minutes. On average, other Vinyasa Kramas contain anywhere from 20 to maximum 60 Yoga Asanas. Through these sequences, the SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam is yet again breaking the barriers of logic and our perceived limits. Each of the DVK's 308 asanas all have original scriptural references which are followed precisely in every class. From the way we hold our hands to where we place our gaze, every detail is aligned to Paramaśiva's instruction. THE NITHYANANDA YOGA PADDHATI, A DIVINE GIFT TO HUMANITY WHILE PERFORMING THE TRITHIYA VINYASA KRAMA, THE SPH NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM HAS EXPLAINED THAT THE BODY'S SENSES ARE SO STIMULATED AND OVERWHELMED THAT THE BODY IS ABLE TO DIRECTLY EXPERIENCE THE STATE OF SAMADHI. THE ANCIENT PRACTICE OF HAVING A TANTRADHARAK IS BEING REVIVED THROUGH THE TVK. A TANTRA-DHARAK IS ONE WHO HOLDS THE SPACE FOR THE RITUAL OF YOGA TO HAPPEN. THEY SET THE CONTEXT OF YOGA AS A HINDU RITUAL AND LEAD THE SANSKRIT CHANTING OF ALL THE YOGA PRAMANAS. THESE SEQUENCES ARE BEING SELECTED BY THE AVATAR HIMSELF TO BRING US TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITH EVERY PERFORMANCE. SIMPLY BY DOING THE TVK, ONE CAN EXPERIENCE DIRECT ONENESS WITH THE ULTIMATE: PARAMASHIVOHAM. IT DELIVERS THE EXPERIENCE OF DIVINE ENTERING MAN.

LEGEND VISUALIZATIONS SWAMIJI, THE SPH HINDUSIM INSTALLING NEW BIO-MEMORY VISUALIZATIONS ARE AN INTEGRAL COMPONENT OF EACH ASANA PERFORMED. SOME POSTURES MAY BE PHYSICALLY IDENTICAL, BUT CAN PROVIDE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE WITH THE ALTERATION OF ONE'S VISUALIZATION. GODS WHEN YOU ARE EMBRACING EACH VISUALIZATION, REMEMBER TO EMBODY THE STATE & SPACE OF THAT OBJECT OR ENTITY. WHEN YOU PERFORM 'SAMYAMA', EMBODYING, CONTEMPLATING, VISUALIZING, YOU ARE DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING THAT VERY BIO-MEMORY INTO YOUR BEING. THUS, THE MANNER AND INTENSITY OF YOUR VISUALIZATIONS PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN MANIFESTING THE STATE, SPACE, POWERS, BEING, AND SUPER-CONSCIOUSNESS OF PARAMAŚIVA. RISHIS, SAGES, YOGIS, GURUS ANIMALS & OBJECTS LEGEND ASANAS YOUR INTENTION MATTERS The Trithiya Vinyasa Krama, and all other Nithyananda Yoga Sequences, may be seen by some as only for ‘Advanced’ Yogis with extreme flexibility or abilities, but this is not the case. Throughout the sequence you will see each posture demonstrated by the SPH, if you feel a posture may be too advanced, it’s important to remember that if you are not able to perform it as described in the Pramana, it does not mean it’s not for you! All asanas have different variations and levels of regressions to suit your specific body-type and ability. Thus, if a posture seems too advanced or difficult, still make effort to perform the posture to the best of your ability while incorporating it’s other components, such as mudras, bandhas, Pranayama, etc. With the SPH initiation into these authentic Yoga sequences – the manifestation of flexibility and health is inevitable, so long as your practice ritualistically and with a powerful intention, then it will be.

YOGA IS FOR MANIFESTING THE STATE, SPACE, BEING, POWERS AND SUPER-CONSCIOUSNESS OF PARAMAŚIVA!" -The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam- SANKALPA IS A SANSKRIT WORD WHICH CAN BE TRANSLATED AS 'RESOLVE', OR 'WILL', OR 'DETERMINATION'. WHEN WE MAKE A SANKALPA IN YOGA NIDRA IT BECOMES A VERY EFFECTIVE TOOL FOR MAKING PROFOUND CHANGES TO THE WAY WE THINK AND FEEL. THE RIGHT SANKALPA CAN RESHAPE OUR PERSONALITY AND DIRECTION IN LIFE ALONG POSITIVE LINES. SANKALPA IS A SEED WHICH WE PLANT DEEP IN THE SUBCONSCIOUS. IT SHOULD BE PLANTED WITH STRONG WILLPOWER AND FEELING, AT A TIME WHEN THE MIND IS RELAXED AND READY TO ACCEPT AND ABSORB IT. SUCH A STATE OCCURS DURING YOGA NIDRA. ONCE THE SANKALPA IS PLANTED DEEP IN THE SUBCONSCIOUS IT GATHERS TOGETHER THE VAST FORCES OF THE MIND IN ORDER TO BRING ABOUT ITS FRUITION. THIS DEEP POWERFUL SEED WILL EVENTUALLY MANIFEST ITSELF AGAIN AND AGAIN AT A CONSCIOUS LEVEL AND BRING ABOUT CHANGES IN YOUR PERSONALITY AND LIFE.

In accordance with the instructions of the Guru, press gently the perineum with the heel of the left foot. Stretching the right foot out, hold it fast by the two hands. Having closed the nine gates (of the body), place the chin on the chest. Then concentrate the vibrations of the mind and inspire air and retain it by Kumbhaka (so long as one can comfortably keep it). This is the Mahamudra, held secret in all the Tantras. The steady-minded Yogi, having practiced it on the left side should then practice it on the right side; and in all cases must be firm in Pranayama - the regulation of his breath.
