My beloved daughter,

I have just read your mail. You mentioned that there is a two day programme for weekend holidays on Hindu Yoga and Meditation. A Swamiji from Bharat will be giving a training programme on the topic. I felt very happy about it but I am very disappointed to read that you have an important programme in the University.

You may get thousands of weekend holidays and hundreds of parties and meetings in your life. But you will never get such an opportunity of learning the greatest science of the world; the Hindu Yoga and Meditation.

Do you know the names of your motherland? Yes! Your name Bharat and it is also popular as Yoga Bhumi, Karma Bhumi, Veda Bhumi and Deva Bhumi. These names are given to Bharat because of the presence of Enlightened Masters and Brahma Rishis on this land from ages. A swamiji in an Hindu heart is God. You never got a chance to know about the glorious history of Bharat, except the history in your text books written by foreigners. I am fortunate to learn all about our mother land from my grand father and grand mother. You are so unlucky that you missed such an opportunity because of busy schedule of your studies from your third year when you joined in preschool.

My beloved daughter! You may be surprised to see such a lengthy letter from your Amma. Today your mother decided to tell you about your mother land. You have to find time to read it completely, if not in future I may not get an excuse from my granddaughter (your daughter should know from you).

In one of your earlier letters, you mentioned, "Amma, today I am standing on the most developed and highly advanced land on the earth". But, my daughter, you are from the most advanced country in ages. The so-called developed countries in your definition were thick forests and people were the most uncivilized tribes when your mother land was enjoying the most advanced and civilized life style. When those people didn't have language to communicate, Hindus developed language with perfect grammar and wonderful script. When those people covered their body with leaves, your forefathers wore superfine textiles and decorated their body with gold ornaments. In those days we had universities, industries, hospitals and excellent engineering techniques. They traveled in airplanes and also visited other planets. All this happened ten thousand years back. Who did all these? Who is responsible for science and technology of those days? They are Rishis, Enlightened Masters. You know that our planet is protected by an ozone layer against dangerous sun rays. But it has been depleted during the last two hundred years because of pollution. There is another such layer protecting our land which is thousand times powerful. It is formed by the continuous thapasya of our Swamijis over the centuries. No pollution, no weapon can destroy this ozone layer. We are safe under this layer.

The layer is so powerful that it protected the land and people from various attacks by foreign invaders over one thousand years. We are protected from several natural calamities, social and religious dangers. Thousands of such attacks were unable to shake the roots of Bharat. This is the power of Enlightened Masters in Bharat. Even today several external forces are continuously working against Bharat. But they cannot do any harm to us because of thousands of Masters, Rishis, Saints who are continuously strengthening the land through their thapasya. The Himalayas on the north; The Eastern and the Western Ghats on the east and west of Bharat are homes of Rishis. They all are Bharat's true wealth. The glory and the grace of the country is their gift. They energize our land continuously through their sacrifices; therefore we are safe and happy.

Do you know about Vedas? They are the base for our social life. They were developed by rishis around ten thousand years back, but they were written just four to five thousands years back. They contain the most powerful mantras. Saints of this land protected them and carefully passed them to next generations through their disciples.

Do you know how powerful and great these saints of Bharat are? They are more than a doctor with super specialization. Just with one touch, one blessing and one manthra they can cure any disease. They are great engineers, scientists and also professors. Even today they are the best counselors, psychologists and also spiritual guides. One touch of the Master can transform any type of evil into good. If you undergo training for two days under such a Master, you can experience wonders.

My daughter! Please attend the programme. Don't miss it even at the cost of your job or your course. Be very polite and obedient to Him. A Yogi is much beyond a human being. His life is a complex document. Its depth cannot be measured by man's logic. He cannot be analyzed by any science under the sky or above it. Never say a single negative word against any Master

My beloved daughter! As a mother, most probably this is the best gift I can offer to you in my life.

With blessings and love Your Amma.

I decorated Your mandir in my small hut Using beautiful flowers, petals and colors With the hope that you visit the temple, but O! God! How could you forget this temple of yours?

I arranged hundreds of lights and candles Around my simple hut and on the way Waiting to welcome you with bells of jingles O! King of Kindness! Why did you forget this way?

I picked up tasty fruits and nuts from the garden I collected sweet and pure honey from woods Standing near the gate to offer pooja with garland O! Lord of Love! Who diverted You from my roads?

The long waited heart became silent in sorrow The most tired eyes went into sleep The paining legs and restless head leaned to window Then came my Swamy, the God of Love.

The music of holy footsteps sanctified the surroundings The divine light of His Smile illuminated my hut The Divya Darshan of my Swamy gave me Ananda When I woke up in joy, my hut was empty.

I ran here, I ran there for my Master I found the divine footprints on the flower path I noticed the touch of my Lord everywhere I know that my Master came and touched my hut And my heart.

A beautiful brooke born on green hills Grew into a mighty river on plains Aimless river attracted to materialistic mountains Pathless river flowed into variety of temptations

Foolish river jumped on to perishing pleasures Innocent river fascinated to name and fame Rolled on dry deserts, ran into unknown lands Suffered in east and west; worried in north and south

Tired of traveling and weakened by agony Broke into pieces and arrested in tanks Cried for Lord, her Master; prayed for salvation God of Mercy, blessed and showed her destination.

Blessed by God; river reached Ananda Sagar Big ocean of love; strong tides of care Deep waters of mercy, welcomed the river, The ultimate Sagara Sangamam, for her there.

Step by step Let me go up To fill my gap To reach the top Though very steep With one more creep I take a big leap Over engrams of heap Let me not slip Put me in safe cap Keep a watch of clip Let me not dip Liberate from trap Awake from sleep To make a peep Into my very deep Let my mind drop Give ego a slap Push worries to sleep Pack desires in wrap I reached top In meditation ship To the feet of our Pope The Light of Hope THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, our Pop.

There is a beautiful and peaceful ashram on the banks of a sarovaram (Lake). It is a center of excellent education and training for the seekers of spiritual knowledge. Gurudev of Ashram is a Brahma Rishi, Maha Jnani. He gives personal attention to the students and lays strong foundation for their total development.

On a full-moon day, Gurudev along with a group of students (Brahmacharis) sat under a tree on the banks of the Sarovaram, which is filled with beautiful kaluva flowers (White water lilies).

Master was answering their questions and clearing their doubts. He was debating with them and giving simple tests and puzzles.

Suddenly Gurudev looked at the group and asked them "What is today"? All said "Today is full moon day". Then he asked "What are there in the sarovar?".

One student answered "Master! These are kaluvas". THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM with his beautiful smile said "Yes! You are right. Can any one of you say the speciality of Kaluvas".

One student stood up and said, "Gurudev! They blossom only in the moonlight. It is believed that the moon is the Lord and Swamy of Kaluvas. They bloom only for the moon".

He smiled and said, "You said beautifully, but now there is no moon light. It is dark. But all kaluvas opened beautifully. What is the reason?"

All the disciples looked around. It was really dark because clouds covered the moon completely. For a moment they were confused and became silent. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was looking at them for an answer. One student said, "Master I can explain". THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM said, "Yes proceed".

"Master when clouds covered the moon completely, the flowers in the lake thought that their swami, the moon left them suddenly and were sad. They were about to close the petals in sorrow and disappointment. Exactly at that time our Swamy came to the sarovaram and sat here with the most beautiful and divine smile. The brightness of the smile of our Swamiji spread all over the sarovaram and touched the kaluvas. The flowers thought that their Swamy the moon came very close to them and touched them. They were very happy and in joy they opened petals more beautifully and started dancing to the tune of gentle breeze. Due to this reason in the darkness also they are beautifully opened".

THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM smiled more beautifully giving joy to his disciples and also to the flowers and said, "My child! Your answer is intelligent, though not correct. Your spontaneous and timely response impressed us".

He turned to his disciples and said, "Dear children, in our routine life we encounter such unexpected questions and incidents. You should be attentive and alert and should be able to respond spontaneously with intelligence."

He observed satisfaction and joy on the faces of students and said, "Children, it is already late. Let us stop our discussion for today". With a graceful smile he blessed the students and left.

Kaluvas were dancing with joy and spreading marvelous fragrance all over. Students walking towards ashram were talking among themselves, "The divine smile of our Gurudev not only makes kaluvas dance but also fascinates angels in the heaven to dance."

"Smile is the most powerful and beautiful weapon during war and peace."

O! Lord of the World! My Master!

Teach me how to serve You

I wish to sing songs for You; but

I realized that I learned all songs from You

I wanted to read scripture for You, but

I understood that, You are the author of all scriptures

I like to practice austerities for You; but

I noticed that, You are the Master of austerities

I wanted to perform rituals for you; but

I know that, You are the designer of all rituals.

I wish to offer flowers and fruits to You; but

I believe that, they all are from Your garden

I wanted to decorate Your Mandir; but

I came to know that angels of heaven decorated it

I wanted to offer myself to you O Lord! but

I realized that I did it long back.

Teach me how to serve you

God! My beloved Parent!

Whom I loved, gave me pain Whom I cared, cursed me Whom I admired, betrayed me Whom I supported, deceived me

Then I turned to You to plead and pray

I am sad and lonely O! Lord I seek shelter in your arms

At the dawn of the day sadness crept into me It raised with sun and encroached my mind It is growing, expanding and became sorrow O! Lord, My Protector! I searched for your protection

In the dusk of evening light Sorrow created clouds of depression It turned into rain of tears O! God! I looked for mother's care in you.

When the sun set in the western hills I drenched in the flood of tears and thunders of cry I am totally lost in the hurricane of sadness Hey! Swamy! Let me rest my head on mother's lap

Dark night ruled over with cruel nightshade Wild breeze surrounded around me The sounds and lights are creating horror all over I had a pleasant sleep with sweet dreams in my mother's lap.

In the heart of a tourist town there was a famous musical instruments shop. Tourists used to visit the town to buy some instruments from this shop.

One day, the owner opened the shop as usual in the morning and a senior worker started dusting the instruments carefully. He decorated them all over the shop. There were violins, veenas, sitaras, tabla, mrudangam, flutes and many such varieties. All were beautiful, new, fresh and attractive. All the instruments were happy and proud that they were placed in a very prominent position in the shop.

The worker took an old veena from a corner of the shop and started dusting it. The commercial owner shouted at the worker, "Why do you waste your time and energy on that old and useless instrument? I told you to throw it into the store room. It is spoiling the beauty of my shop".

The worker felt sorry for veena and he did not want to throw it into the dark room. He said obediently, "Sir! Let it be in this corner. We can sell it at half rate or less to any innocent customer". The business man agreed with an unpleasant face.

The veena heard the conversation and felt very sad. Tears started rolling uncontrollably. A tabala near veena asked her the reasons for her sadness.

Veena said, "Dear friend! When I was created, I thought I would be decorating the hands of scholars and masters. Later it was noticed that I was handicapped. My creator forgot to put one step on me. So I was rejected and became a burden to all. Now I am waiting for my death". Veena cried uncontrollably.

Very much touched by her story, Tabla also felt sad and said, "Dear friend! Don't cry. God has a purpose in creating you. He will show you a way. Have trust on him".

Veena replied, "I have no hopes. But I have only one desire to tell God. I wanted to die in the hands of a master after giving some joy to him. I have plenty of talent and skill. But I don't want to die in the dark room."

Meanwhile, the shop was filled with customers. All were selecting different musical instruments but no one looked at this handicapped, old veena.

During that time a group of tourists under the leadership of a Brahma Rishi were passing through the street. Suddenly the Master stopped and said "Let us go to the shop and buy a musical instrument".

All entered the shop and started searching for the best. But Master went directly to veena and took it into his hands. The shop owner rushed in a hurry and objected to the Master, "Master don't touch it. It is a defective and old Veena. I will give you a new and the best veena".

Master replied firmly, "No! I want this veena only". The worker came running and cleaned the veena as best as possible. Master tied strings and adjusted sruthi. Veena was very happy and excited with His touch.

Master started playing veena and veena gave excellent ragas. All its suppressed talents and skills were rejuvenated. Now floodgates were opened at once for veena's talents. Understanding the desires and skills of veena, Master was playing wonderful ragas. Suddenly the shop was filled with divine music. Not only people in the shop, all those passing through the street stood still and were involved in the music. All forgot that they were on the earth. They were so much immersed in the divine music that time also forgot to run.

Master stopped playing veena. Now people started competing to buy veena. In the auction, its price was inflating to an unexpected level. Owner was looking at all this with wide opened eyes and mouth.

Master asked the owner, "I want to buy this veena. How much do I have to pay?"

The owner fell at the feet of the Master and said with tears, "Master! You are none other than God. Please take this veena and bless me". He handed over the veena carefully to the Master.

This is the mystery of touch of Master. His touch can give life to lifeless.

Men and women of history praise Your glory O! Lord Youth and children of future follow Your path O! God

Fauna and flora in the nature sing Your songs of prayer Living and non living creatures pass Your message all over

One day a Master came to a city on a special mission of giving some taste of spiritual knowledge to teenage youth. He was taking a class for college students. He explained to them about the divine love and wonderful experiences with God.

After the Master's lecture, students started pouring questions on him. Being young with overconfidence in their scientific and technical knowledge, they were asking all types of questions. Master, with his infinite patience, was giving answers to all their questions. He is Master of Masters who can generate brilliant answers to foolish questions and sensible replies to non-sense.

One young boy stood up and asked, "Swamiji, you said that everything under the sky is given by God to us. He is the creator of all. Then is he the owner of everything?"

Master smiled and said "Yes child. You are correct." "If so, why and how do we offer fruits, flowers, gifts etc. to God. We are not owners of these. Is it the correct process? Is it justice?" asked the boy. Master smiled with love and said, "What you said is correct. What is your name?"

The boy felt very proud at his intelligence and answered "I am Ravi". Master said, "Beautiful name. Who else stays with you at home?" "My mother, father and my elder sister." replied Ravi.

"Good ! Ravi ! How do you celebrate your birthday?" Master questioned Ravi. Ravi was confused for the unexpected question. After a few seconds he said, "Very grand. My mother prepares special sweets; my father and sister give me special gifts. Swamiji this watch, my daddy gave on my birthday. Then I give sweets or party to my friends".

Master said, "Very nice. Early in the morning your mother prepares a special sweet and gives you for your breakfast. At that time if you take one spoon full of sweets and offer first to your mother and say, "thank you mother for your love," what will she do?

The boy immediately replied, "She will be very happy and gives a kiss and says "My son is a good boy. I am proud of him". Master asked, "Why doesn't she say; "How can you offer the sweet which I have prepared? It is my own. As if you prepared the sweet you are offering me a spoon of sweet. It is not correct,"

The boy was stunned and unconsciously shook his head and said "No Swamiji, she never says like that. She feels I respect her and she shares that joy to all our neighbors and her friends."

"OK, my child ! My second question. When your father presented the watch, if you say, "Dady the watch is very fine. Thank you. First time you wear it and then I will take it. What will be his reaction?"

The boy said "My father will be very happy. He will show the watch to all his colleagues in the office and say, "See how nice my son is. I gave this as his birthday gift but he told me to wear it first. I am proud of my son."

Swamiji smiled and said "You said nicely Ravi, please sit". He turned to the students who already got the message of Swami and were waiting to listen to his conclusion.

Swamiji said "God is our father and mother. When you offer something to God he will be happy and kiss you with his blessings and say I am proud of you my child."

As soon as Swamiji stopped, there was a thunder of clapping from the students with excitement and joy. In that happiness all the students danced and took the blessings of Swamiji. They were so happy because for the first time in their life the core was touched smoothly and tuned to sing the song of divine love.

On a wonderful night; I was in a deep and pleasant sleep Knock at the door awakened me from my sleep, at midnight Angel of God's kingdom standing at the door, when I peep Gave me a golden envelope with fragrance, I opened in delight

It was permission to my petition to enter into God's kingdom Followed the angel in excitement and thrill, till the golden gate To my surprise, there were no guards nor army; but only a board "Welcome to my beloved Children", with wide opened doors.

Golden deer came running and guided me very grandly Pigeons on the trees and swans in the lake waved wings in joy Peacock took charge of guidance and showed the way proudly Elephant near the garden and cows in the meadows said "hai!"

Entered into the garden of love; grown by Lord of Love There were roses dancing in joy; but no thorns anywhere Plants and bushes filled with flowers of over flowing honey Offered me fruits, nuts and honey, filled in cups of leaves.

Crossed the bridge on the stream of honey and reached the Palace On the right side of pendal angels were dancing with praises to God On the other side of hall ṛṣis and monks offering pūjās to Lord Disciples and devotees sitting in padmāsana, chanting Vedas

I entered into the palace; my Swāmy seated on a throne As bright as millions of suns with his beautiful smile I forgot to pray; opened eyes very wide and stared at Him "Come my child", said my God with love and stretched arms

I ran and fell at his feet; I praised Him and prayed with tears God said! O! Dear! It is your home. No need of any fears Touched my head to bless; with his right hand wiped my tears I became an angle; and took over charge to serve my dear.

Your path is the longest highway I cannot walk without Your lead

Your care is the highest peak I cannot touch it without Your support

I need not be a scholar

To communicate with You and Your people But I should learn to read and write Your prayers

I need not be a rich woman

To do archana and aradhana to You But I should be rich in love and devotion for You

I need not be a Sanyāsini

To live in Your spiritual heaven But I should renounce what are not mine.

Master! Our beloved God

Poor can be a billionaire with your mercy

Sinners become saints with your glance

Wicked become noble under your guidance

One day in the heaven of God two angels were walking very fast towards the main entrance of the heaven. Another angel on the way enquired, "O! Sisters! Where are you going in such a hurry".

One angel answered, "We are going to the main entrance. Today two new persons are coming here. Just now we have got the information. We are already late. Therefore we are going in a hurry."

"Oh! two more new angels are joining us" expressed her happiness. They said "yes", and reached the gate of heaven.

At the same time the 'Pushpaka Vimanam' (aeroplane) landed and two souls, who did all noble deeds on the earth and sacrificed life for others came. They lived according to the wish of God. The angels welcomed them and took them to the river. They took three dips in the river and became angels.

Senior angels with the new angels were going into heaven. New angels enquired "where are we going now?" The senior angel said, "Dear sisters, first we shall have darshan of God. Then we will take you to another palace where you will be given some duties."

"What work we have to do?" one of the new angels enquired. "There are some angels in charge of it. They assign some duties. After completing duties you are free. You can go anywhere and enjoy."

New angels were happy. They entered into a golden palace. Senior angel requested them to sit and wait for a while on the golden chairs arranged in a beautiful hall and went into the palace.

New angels were observing everything and started walking slowly. There were two rooms. In the first room there are four angels seriously looking into some records. To their surprise they saw a big fan working beautifully. New angels felt happy and one of them said, "How nice to see a fan here. Now we have no fear of summer sweating."

Other one said, "Yes. I am also very happy."

They walked towards the next room. There were also four angels sitting but didn't have many files. There was also a big fan but it was not working.

"One angel said, "Why is this fan not working. Maybe they too have a power cut."

Another angel said "it can't be. Fan is working in the other room." They were not happy and thought that it was not just and wondered how and why partiality was shown in heaven. They returned and sat in the golden chairs.

Senior angel came to take them for God's Darshan. New angel asked the senior the reason for partiality.

The senior angel smiled and said, "Dear sister! They are not fans. We don't require fans and coolers here. The first room is a room where the petitions and prayers of people are sanctioned by God. When God sanctions one petition, the wings of fans take a round. As God is continuously sanctioning the desires of people it is running at a high speed."

Then what about the second room? '' asked the new angel. "That room receives "thank you' from people. Whenever people say 'Thank you O! God,' it takes one round." said the angel. Suddenly new angels remembered that they too did not thank God for allowing them into heaven. Immediately they folded their hands and said, "Thank you God for giving us a chance to enter into your abode."

Immediately the fan in the second room took two rounds.

Gratitude is the music of heart and literature of soul, which sings divine songs. Thank God when you are happy. Thank him profoundly when you are in trouble. After all he is our daddy, who has a plan and purpose in creating trouble to us. It is his plan for our bright future.

Gods love What is this? How does it look? Where is its source? How does it come and go? Who gave its taste to us? What can it do for me and you? God's love I understood it in my prayers I experienced it in my meditation I enjoyed it in the presence of Master Now I know what is God's love Gods love It is a wonderful experience It is a powerful incidence It is in the care of Master Its source is in His grace It comes with Him and goes with Him Its taste and experiences transform you and me It can do miracles and make all the difference in our life God's Love It's as mighty as the Himalayas As perennial as the Ganges

One can understand it only when one experiences it

I sat with a pen and paper To write a long petition to you O! Master! I filled the paper with a list of desires After writing all my needs and demands I opened the page and read all the lines To my surprise; it was all praises To you O! God; God! What is this?

I wanted to quarrel with my God Why he gave me failures and set-backs? I started quarrel with fighting words I prolonged with a series of questions I astonished at once All it became your prayers O! Lord! Master! How is it possible?

I wanted to record my anger and agony Why I have so many misfortunes I closed all the doors Recorded as many arguments as I can I replayed to listen to my arguments To my joy it was your song I started dancing to its tune I realised suddenly God, what happened?

God smiled and said "Dear child You are in me and I am in you How can 'you' fight with 'you'? Except to say I love you"

I realized This is the mystery of My Master

God our Beloved Master Grant me courage To dive deep and deeper Into the ocean of your love To gain pearls and power Of your care and protection For ever and ever and ever

Let me write my wounded feelings and depressed thoughts, to the Divine Healer. God You left me in a world of confusion. I am in the midst of people with ego and pride of riches and intelligence. They are masters in the art of great shows and engaged in the business of ego enrichment. Insults wounded my heart and pains made cuts on my mind.

God! My beloved Master! All the girls of my age are teasing me. They say that I am not good looking. I am not beautiful. How blind are they? Every cell in my body reflects your image. Every nerve under my skin carries your message. Hay! Prince of Grace! I am filled with your grace. I am sure; I am the most beautiful girl in the world. I pity those you cannot see your grace in every child of You, as all are your unique creation.

Hay! Lord of Love! My friends are worrying about me because my skin is dark. They call me 'Blacky' and are laughing at me. My mind, heart and soul are sanctified and purified in the showers of your blessings. My body and soul are purified with your nectory words. I feel sorry for them because they are too deaf to listen to your prayers in my heart beat and your name in my every breath.

My beloved Protector and Caretaker! My companions are commenting that I am illiterate. How is it true? Master, I can write your name and read your prayers. Hay Genus of the Universe, God of Cosmic Wisdom, don't you know that any word in any language on this Planet is your name? But these highly educated illiterates cannot understand this simple truth. They say that I am illiterate because I don't have university degrees. But they don't know that I am the holder of the highest degree in the university of Bliss.

My God and my Teacher! People around me say that I am an orphan. When you are there for me how can I be an orphan? Don't they know that You are my father, mother, brother, companion, teacher and everything? All your people are my relatives. How can I convince these narrow minded, frozen heart people? My Lord! My beloved God! Men and women in my society abandoned me because I am poor. How can they say that I am poor when I am able to build a temple to my God in my heart? Hay! God of all Wealth, when you are in that temple I will be the richest person in the world. I wish to tell them that their billions of money, gold, diamonds etc. are not equal to one affectionate glance of my God. Their wealth, fame, name, status become dull and vanishes in the light of my Master's beautiful smile. When you are in my heart no billionaire in the world can overtake me in wealth and richness.

God! Almighty! I pray to You with folded hands, humble heart and bowed head to grant me your Blessings and Love instead of university certificates, intelligence and wisdom. Assure me your care and protection instead of wealth, power, name and status. Give me shelter in your temple; let me serve you with my heart and soul.

With deep prayers, lots of love and sincere devotion. Your daughter

Are there hurdles and blocks

Between me and God?

Are there restrictions and conditions

In the love and care of God

Part 2: Prayer, A Love Letter to God_English_part_2.md

Can any power under the sky Keep me away to my God? Can any force on the earth Separate me from my Lord?

Miles of distance around me Motivate to walk fast towards Him Hundreds of days in my calendar Give me strength to wait for Him

Mountains of maya; Hills of hatred Cannot hide me from my Lord Deep oceans of pride; Wide deserts of anger Cannot push me back from my God

Dark clouds of evils; hurricanes of jealousy Cannot defeat me in chanting His prayer Floods of desires; volcanoes of wants Cannot stop my way to His Temple

There are neither hurdles nor blocks There are neither restrictions nor conditions There are neither rules nor checks Between me and God.

Silent valley sleeping in the severe winter snowfall Plants, trees and creepers, lifeless under white cover whole God, their beloved Master, walking through the valley of all Touch of the Divine Feet energized, every stem, root and all Thrilled by the Divine Touch; blossom the sleeping flora Colourful flowers smiling in joy; showered rains of petals Danced in excitement and said in chorus 'Welcome to You O! Lord!' Swamy smiled and blessed the valley with his love and respects

The Divine Light of His smile unveiled fog on plants Turned the vapour into pearls of dewdrops on petals and leaves In the light of God's smile, shining like rubies and emeralds Reflecting God's image every where, sanctifying the valley

How fortunate the trees, grass and creepers to get the touch of my God How lucky the breeze in valley, to embrace my Lord all the time Angels in heaven, devotees on the earth questioned in furious jealousy O! Master! What is the luck of nature? When can we get it?

I came to this world with your permission Promised you that I hold your hand with confirmation

Strong currents of desires and paths of pleasures Dragged me into the colourful world of treasures Fascinating dreams in my fluctuating eyes searched For chains of husband, parents and children that are clutched

Amazing showers of wants, needs, demands and desires Plunged me into the whirlpool of affections and responsibilities

I woke up suddenly and found in millions of miseries Cried for help! God! Where are you? With recollected memories

I prayed to Master! God of Mercy! Save me from trouble I forgot my way to you in this confusing world of bubble

Strong winds of cyclone blew me into the sea of compassion Powerful tides of ocean threw me into the river of consolation

I prayed to my Beloved God, chanting the forgotten prayers Travelled in the currents of river calling and recollecting His names

River dropped me on its bank; I can hear my God's name I opened my eyes and can see disciples chanting His fame

I jumped in joy, ran into the Mandir; touched His feet with tears God of Mercy, took me into his arms, King of Kindness wiped my fears

I can see tides of sea and currents of river water in his hands God! I realized what happened when I prayed with folded hands

To my fortune I am relieved from worries and miseries Reached the abode of Bliss in the light of His mysteries.

One day a Swamiji along with his devotees and disciples was going to a temple on foot. On the way He narrated the wonderful story of the temple and said, "People believe that, who ever enters into this place is relieved from all sins." The team walked a long distance in the hot sun and was tired. He looked at them and said, "We have come very close to the temple. Now let us relax for some time under a tree."

On that day there was heavy rush and people of all ages were going into the temple in groups. While relaxing under the tree, they were able to observe people coming from the temple very clearly. They noticed that all were going with great devotion and enthusiasm. All were praying and chanting the holy name of Jaganmatha. After darshan they were coming out of the temple with immense joy, satisfaction and bright faces.

After observing them one of the followers expressed, "Master! I am very happy and impressed to see the devotion of these people. How devoted they are! It touched my heart."

Swamiji replied, "Yes. Your observation is correct." Another young devotee expressed, "Swamiji! Thousands of people are going to the temple with sincere devotion. After death definitely they reach heaven. Can heaven accommodate so many? Will all these get a chance to reach heaven?"

Master replied, "Let us see how many can go to the heaven and how heaven accommodates them?" He called a young Brahmachari and told every one, "Now you all go and get mixed with others and observe the actions and reactions of all. But don't disturb us."

His followers were accustomed to such experiences. So they did what he said. Suddenly Swamiji fell sick and the young brahmachari started shouting for help.

People coming from the temple heard a cry for help and rushed to the tree. They found a Swamiji in an unconscious position and a weak, small and young boy was crying for help. Immediately they came forward to shift Swamiji to the nearby hospital. (This is the greatness of man's natural instinct. Ninety nine percent of people were very good and like to help others.)

When they are about to come close to Swamiji, the boy objected and said, "Please don't touch my Swamy. If any person with a sin in their life touches him he becomes miserably sick and we cannot save him. Only those who are sure that they never committed a sin and are totally free of sins can touch my Swamy and help him."

All were shocked. One man tried to approach slowly but he noticed that Swamiji was becoming miserable. So he returned back.

All were standing in helpless position cursing their inability to help a Swamy. They all were thinking, "Knowingly or unknowingly we committed many sins. But now we cannot do anything." Mean while many were coming and feeling sad because of their sins.

One young man with a well built personality, looking very serious came from the temple and noticed some problem under the tree. He found a Swamiji in an unconscious position and a boy crying for help. He went close to Swamy to help. Immediately people in the crowd shouted, "Hay! Man! Don't go. You are a rowdy and committed hundreds of sins. You cannot touch Swamiji. If you touch he cannot survive." Meanwhile others explained to him the conditions to touch Swamiji.

Immediately the young man shouted with anger "Shut up and stop this nonsense. I agree that I have committed several crimes and accumulated sins. But just now I have had darshan of Jaganmatha and offered poojas. Pandits in the temple told me that now I am free from all sins. So I can touch Swamy." He didn't wait for any body's comment. He lifted Swamy and took him into his hands and rushed to the near by hospital.

Swamiji got up after a while and smiled at his people who are eagerly looking at Swamiji. He took the hand of a young man and told his people "he is the only person who gets entry into heaven."

Immediately Brahmachari said, "Because he dared to help some one in danger."

Swamiji said "No. He is the only devotee who trusted God. He believed the promise of the God that "after the darshan of Jaganmatha he is relieved from all the sins. Others also know the promise of God. But they don't have trust on God's promise. When you have no trust how can you enter into his home? God invites those who trust him."

The young rowdy heard all the conversation of Swamiji and other followers. For the first time in his life he heard a positive comment. He felt very much touched and fell at the feet of Swamiji. Later he became a very good follower of Swamiji. He dedicated his life to Swamiji's mission.

Respect can show you the way to God Devotion can make you understand God Sacrifice takes you close to the God But Trust can build a strong and unbreakable Bond between you and God. It makes you one with God.

God! My beloved Protector and Teacher This is my prayer to You O! Master

Let the fire in Your knowledge Burn my ego and ignorance

Let the sparks in Your discourses Light the lamps of knowledge to drive innocence

Let the miraculous strength in meditation Energise my feeble mental faculties

Let the intellect in Your guidance Luminate my actionless plans

Pleasant touch of Your Love Raises fountains of hope In the depressed hearts Give fearless assurance of Your Care

Noble deeds of Your Majestic Mission Gives courage for deeper insights To all imprisoned minds Promise true heaven in Your Arms

God Almighty; my beloved Master I am praying for your darshan from past three hours But I am unable to have Your Darshan Decided to continue my prayers, till you appear to me

Three hours passed; it became twenty four; But there is no sign of Swamiji anywhere Let me take the challenge, as you taught me, there I closed my eyes, concentrated on divine smile, of Your

God! My heart and mind filled with you, Hours became days, days turned to weeks But there was no sign of My Swamy's arrival My depression motivated; I intensified my prayers

Weeks became month, twelve months completed My patience died; in anger and agony I questioned "God! Why you neglected me? Why you don't care for me?" Surprised to see my God, my beloved Swamy by my side

He smiled and questioned "Who said that I am not here? The day you started pooja I was with you When you involved in deep prayer I gave you food and water; I made you relax and sleep; I energized your acts and pooja"

I realized God's presence throughout and recollected all I fell at his feet; washed his feet with tears. Swamy! I am a fool; I did not recognize you I wept in guilty; prayed for his mercy God of Kindness took me into his arms

Blessed me with his infinite love and care I learnt a lesson My Master will be with me in joy and peace He holds me in his arms When I am in trouble and misery.

Raja Madhava Varma Was an emperor to a great kingdom. He was blessed with all the riches in the world. His counterparts envy him as the luckiest king on the earth and the king also had confidence that he was the happiest person in the world.

One day he went hunting into the deep forest and missed his people. He travelled for a long time and he and his horse were tired. He was searching for an ashram or a tribal colony to get some water and food.

On the way he found a yogi sitting under a tree. His face was bright with happiness. There was a beautiful smile on his face. The king was surprised to see a person simply sitting under a tree on the bare ground, without any shelter, so happy. King went close to him and Yogi opened his eyes and took the king to his ashram. His disciples offered king water and fruits.

The king was continuously observing the same beautiful smile and happiness on the face of iushi. He asked him, "Swamiji! Without any comfort or luxury you are very happy. If you are provided with all the luxuries, how happy will you be? I wanted to see that happiness on your face."

Rishi replied with the same smile, "I will be like this in any position, any where. Richness or poverty cannot make any difference in my happiness."

The king said firmly, "No Swamiji. I am very sure if you come with me to my palace there will be a big difference in your happiness. Please come with me."

Rishi wanted to make Raja know about yogis and Rishis. He went with the king to his palace. The king gave him the best accommodation, best clothes and food. He appointed very beautiful maids to serve him.

The king continuously observed the Rishi. But he could not find any difference in his happiness. After one week, he approached Rishi and said, "Swamy! How is it possible that you are not bubbling with happiness with all these riches? How and why? If I were in your position I would have been very happy."

Swamy replied with the same smile. "Raja! Come with me. I will show you the difference between you and me." Rishi made the king walk in the forest. The king was very tired. He made the king relax on the ground and gave raw fruits and roots to eat. The king suffered a lot. But Rishi enjoyed all these with the same happiness.

Again the king questioned how it was possible. Rushi said "Raja I am not attached to anything in the world. It may be pain or pleasure; poverty or richness. All are the same for me. I accept both with the same love. I cannot find any difference between a palace and a hut. But you cannot detach from pain and pleasure. For you and me pain is there, I don't suffer but you suffer. You undergo a frequent mood swing which creates all problems. You hang to it and if it is pain you suffer; if it is pleasure you enjoy. Raja, try to understand that this life is for celebration. I celebrate every moment but you don't. This is the difference between you and me."

The king now realized the core reason for problems and troubles. He thanked Swamiji for giving him a life turning lesson and left to his palace with real richness in heart and eternal happiness in his being.

Master's love

The ocean of purity, one can see his being in its completion

Raises as a stream of nector in the Sambala of His compassion Flows through the Himalayas of his care and protection Touches all the banks and boundaries without discrimination Overflows throughout erasing blocks, rule and restriction Never cares ups and downs of mind swing and expectation Least bothers the peaks and valleys of the moods emotion

Wonderful love suddenly jumps to ignite awareness Beautiful love may flow silently to bring tranquility Amazing love becomes waterfall to give a jerk to the mind Brimming love gushes on to rock and shake the ego Rejuvenating love creates lightning to launch alchemy Encompassing love overflows to raise us to supreme state Compassionate love becomes a shower of blessing to bring Bliss

The world of pleasures; the land of attractions Pulled me to the net of desires and hub of wants My time, energy and intelligence I poured on income generation Arrested in the vicious spiral of money,desires,pleasures creation I realized that I am in the pit of snakes and ladders I am tired, thirsty and restless; wanted peace and support I requested my parents and children for help; they said 'sorry'

I begged my friends and relatives to pull me; no answer, only worry I approached pandits and priests to grant me peace I applied petitions to the government and courts for release I pleaded the wise men, scientists, doctors and police No reply and no use; All are busy in generation of Money policy I turned to Lord of Mercy; God of love and prayed for help He smiled and said, "Child! You have power in you You can come out. I am with you. Don't be afraid." Thank you O lord! Now I am empowered and declared war against my enemies My God is my captain and leader, for the army of my energies

I fired missiles of meditation against desires, ego, miseries And so on; destroyed them under the guidance of my God.

Now I won the war,

Key is with me to open the doors of Eternal Bliss.

I was enjoying the beautiful nature in the moonlight How beautiful is God created charming light in night Heard a voice, "Is my light the most beautiful sight?' Could not trace the questionnaire, looked around in plight

Maybe the Moon is the questionnaire! 'Dear Moon uncle' 'Yes.' 'But yours is not the most beautiful in the world, my uncle.' 'Can you show the most beautiful?' challenge from Moon uncle 'Yes, it is the light of my Master's Divine smile, dear uncle'

"Can you prove?" angry question from Moon uncle, very serious "Yes,you cannot find in your solar family or any galaxy,O genius Moon uncle! Look at the jumping rivers; they tell you O curious Ask the dancing flowers and leaves; they prove how bright it is to us."

Rage of Moon uncle provoked, I said "listen for more proofs. Glance at the dancing angels; ask any other groups Look at the rejuvenated hearts of frustrated men of all troops All creatures, men and angels dance in that divine light proves.

Suddenly there was darkness

Moon might have gone on investigation some where There was silent spread of brighter light every where I realized that it was arrival of my Swamiji there That made moon hide behind dark clouds there

Moon uncle, good night.

The divine smile that travels beyond planets and galaxies

Fascinates angels of heaven to come to this planet for that light

The beautiful smile that touches the horizons of planet

Redeems the miseries and worries along with plight

The graceful smile that crosses the continents and oceans

Erases the frontiers on land and barriers in man

The splendour smile that reaches millions of depressed souls

Enriches and energizes the depleting hopes of people

The flash of smile that illuminates the dark prisons on earth

Releases the chained human race from desires and wants

The light of smile that shows avenues to the salvation

Empowers His followers to walk in His light and receive Eternal Bliss.

Who is intelligent? Who is innocent? Is my God intelligent Or I myself

I transfer all my pains I surrender all my worries I pass on all my tensions To Almighty God

Who knows only to give pleasures Who knows to grant relaxations Who knows only to shower blessings Who is intelligent? And who is innocent?

I share all my emotions I show all my reactions I have no tension nor depression Now and then I pray to Him Just to say "Thank You O! God'

Who knows only unconditional love Who gives only unending care Who grants unlimited joy Who is intelligent? who is innocent

I love my God Only if my prayers are answered

Only if my desires are fulfilled Only if my problems are solved Of Course I love my God for ever

Who loves and protects without discrimination Who never tests qualifications Sinner or saint all can take a dip in His love The flow of nectar in its pristine purity Who is intelligent? Who is innocent?

Desires and miseries Are intimate friends Jealousy and depression Are close relations Happiness and ego Are born enemies

Suppressed emotions become Soldiers of your enemy Your being in real you Is your military strength Your awareness is commander Of your army

Worries, lust, greed, desires Declare war under the leader Ego Be brave to encounter enemy With all your inner energies Fight tirelessly till you re-occupy Your kingdom of inner world

When you become the emperor Of your inner world You will sit on golden throne with Peace, joy, pleasure and fulfillment You are decorated with crown The bright Eternal Bliss.

Oh! It is a beautiful rose plant in its simplicity I love red roses, the symbol of love and dignity The testimony of sacrifice and generosity I planted it carefully, watered it with sincerity

After a month the plant gave a flower, so beautiful A big and beautiful radiating red rose, oh! Wonderful I smiled with joy and said, 'thank you friend, I am grateful I offer this gift to God of Love who is like you always blissful

I promise you that I bring his love and blessings' I ran to the Master offered it at His feet and got His blessings "Swamiji, I have a gift for you from a friend So beautiful and precious like Your Love

It is a great gift, as it is from a self less friend Who gives flowers to others and retain thorns for her In return she expects smiles and joy on our face How graceful and wonderful is God's creation He gave us all selfless and sacrificing creatures".

Swamiji replied with his radiant smile, "My daughter! Be selfless like plants, sacrificing like animals Learn and practice art of dedication and discipline from nature You too will be the most beautiful part of God's creation You too can serve and protect nature, our Mother You too can learn the simple and dignified life style Then you will be blissful like your friend the red rose for ever."

Man in the third millennium; His mind is in the computer mouse His heart and body are in doctor's house Remote is held by Money and Power Life style is in software forever The intelligent man is progressing in a methodology In the third millennium of information technology Graduates from the school of slow agriculture Enters into the university of fast corporate culture Obtains degree of depression with gold medals Fills his coat pockets with money and pleasures Constructs mansions, palaces and big castles Ultimately lands on lonely deserts His faithful companion is his own shadow His obedient followers are his footsteps in meadow Suddenly realizes; his need is peace and sleep Finally prayed to God, the forgotten address in grief Unlocks the ancient scriptures and practices Knocks at the doors of philosophy practitioners Searches for destiny of God of Love and Mercy Sails in the ocean of hope; finds the light house of Bliss Reached the island of spiritual heaven and temple of Ananda Touches the feet of Swamy and gains Nityananda.

River without ocean; Man without a Master Moon without light; Devotee without dedication Flower without fragrance; Prayer without devotion Diamonds without shining; Life without values Ship without captain; Man without aim Food without salt; Life without spiritual thought Picture without colours; Life without God's love Song without music; Man without Trust on God

There is a beautiful garden in the ashram of a Swamiji. He is very fond of plants and trees. He takes special care of garden and tells every body, "Plants are my children." Every day he spends some time in the garden.

Every morning his disciples come to the garden and collect some flowers to offer to Swamiji for morning pooja. There are beautiful roses, jasmines, chrysanthemums, dahlia and many other varieties. All the plants are healthy and happy with beautiful flowers.

In one corner of the garden there is a small grass plant which has great love and regard for Swamiji.

Every day Swamiji's disciples collect flowers from the garden but they never look at the small grass bush with tiny blue flowers. The grass bush starts its dawn with a great hope that the disciples will pluck at least one flower from it to offer to Swamiji. It waits for the chance of the touching feet of her God with a lot of hope. But the day ends in disappointment. Again in the next day the plant waits with a fresh hope of reaching God's feet, but no chance. The plant never questions God for her bad luck. It never feels jealous of her siblings in the garden.

One day a devotee of Swami brings a rare plant. Swamiji's disciples search everywhere in the garden to plant it. Finally they find the grass bush with blue flowers. They decide to remove it from there to plant a new one. The poor bush hears the total conversation of them and feels much sad. She starts praying to God, her Swamy, "Swamiji! My beloved God! Thank you very much for giving me an opportunity to live in the heaven of your garden. I enjoy your darshan every day. But I have never got a chance to serve you and touch your feet. My Lord! I have hope that you will give me a chance in my next birth. Hay God of Grace! Before my death I would like to have your darshan."

The prayer of the plant touches Swamiji. Immediately a message is passed to the people in the garden, "Swamiji is very sick".

All the people in the garden leave the new plant there and rush to THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM's room. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM is suffering from a severe headache and high fever. They don't know what to do. They offer some medicine to him, but he has rejected. He says, "There is a grass plant in our garden with blue flowers. Bring some flowers and leaves. This is a wonderful plant. It alone can cure my headache."

Disciples run to the garden and kneeled down in front of the bush and pray to her, "Mother plant! Our Swamiji has become sick. Please give your flowers and leaves and cure him." Plant is surprised. It feels very much honoured and happy that God has heard her prayer and is not only giving her darshan but also a chance to serve him. She gives flowers and leaves to them.

They put flowers on the forehead of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM recovers quickly from illness. All come back to the garden and praise the plant.

All the plants in the garden suddenly realize the presence of grass plant. They all feel proud of grass plant because such a great plant is living with them. All plants bowed with respect to the grass plant. The plant thanks her Swami very obediently. From the next day onwards Swamiji's disciples have started collecting blue flowers for Guru Puja.

God's love is wonderful. In the kingdom of God there is no discrimination of big or small; beautiful or ugly; rich or poor. It may be man, animal or a plant. All are equally loved by God. Sometimes, some of us may not get immediate recognition. Without getting angry with God, wait for time with total trust in Him. He alone can give the right position to the right people in right time, because He is God.

Life is very easy to live But becomes difficult and complicated In the absence of a Master in our life

Life is very beautiful to look at it But, turns ugly and crooked totally With wrong decisions and mistakes

Life is a joyful journey to travel But, changes into calamity and depression If you choose wrong path or wrong destination

Life is a sweet dream when you think But it becomes a night mare If you are not guided to a peaceful sleep

Life is a Bliss and Divine fulfillment But it transforms into miseries and worries Without the Blessings and Love of God

What I cannot do?

I cannot hold time; The most wanted asset

I cannot generate pleasure; The most desired treasure

I cannot build peace; The most needed factor

I cannot support poor and needy; The most neglected area

What is there in my hands?

Money; The most fluctuating mercury drop

Relations; Only linked to responsibilities

Success; Always ups and downs; snakes and ladder

Fame; Stinks, if it is held after a moment

What I am proud of?

Beauty; The most useless and temporary phase

Status; Stays till I use money and authority

Power; Disappears when rejected

Achievements; Dry leaves, goes with wind

So! What can I do?

Permanent gift I can get; God's love

Pleasures I can hold forever; Prayers

Valuable wealth I can gain; God's care

Infinite joy I can get; Ananda Darshan of my Master

If you are open to it You are the richest

What is this?

Can you guess?

It is God's love and care

I opened gates of my palace to give a grand welcome to God I decorated His Mandir with very costly flowers I prepared golden throne and expensive gifts But I could not have your darshan O! God.

I did a lengthy pooja and prayer systematically I arranged for bhajans and songs by professionals I chanted all the mantras, scriptures and stories

But I could not have your darshan O! Swamiji I decorated all the paths with lights and flowers I appointed hundreds of pandits to perform special pooja I requested hundreds of men to offer formal welcome But I could not have your darshan O! Master

I was disappointed and discouraged

I cried in anger; prayed in agony

I enquired with elders, pandits and scholars

I meditated, finally as You taught me once.

I realised in my meditation that

My eyes were closed in pride

My ears became deaf with knowledge

My hands were chained with wealth

My heart was filled with desires and doubts.

Now; my eyes are opened; I can see your smile

My ears are cleared; I can listen to you

My hands are released; I can touch your feet

My heart became vacant; I can have your Divya Darshan.

There was a small and beautiful kingdom called Swargapuri, at the foot of the Himalayas on the banks of the river Ganga. It was under the rule of a queen called Santhi. All the people in the country were happy and rich. They had no problems because no evil ever entered into the kingdom. People did not know jealousy, hatred, greediness, poverty, violence etc., therefore they were healthy, rich, active and happy.

The kingdom was guarded on eight sides by eight powerful guards; Love, Sacrifice, Justice, Mercy, Discipline, Respect, Truth and Gratitude. The neighboring king tried several times to conquer Swargapuri. But he could not touch even one inch of its land.

The king invited the wise men in the world and assigned them the duty of investigating into the secret of their success and to find out the power that was guarding and protecting Swargapuri. The team of wise men investigated and found the eight guards. They suggested the king to kidnap the eight guards to conquer Swargapuri.

The king appointed eight warriors; hatred, greediness, jealousy, violence etc and ordered them to kidnap the guards. The warriors kidnapped the eight guards of Swargapuri and arrested them in a golden palace.

Now the king declared war against Swargapuri. He was able to touch the borders but could not enter the country. He was disappointed.

With the help of wise men he prayed to God for help. An angel appeared to the king and said, "O! King! I will fulfill one wish of you. Do you want to conquer Swargapuri? Or do you like to know the reason for your failure?

The wise king thought for a while and said "I want to know the reason for my failure."

The angle answered, "O! King! You are able to kidnap the eight guards but you or your wise men did not notice another powerful guard in the country "The Trust ''. All the people in the country trusted each other; trusted their queen and above all they had great trust in God. When there is trust there was a powerful network of communication which created and sustained unity. When trust was absent, love and other guards could not survive for long. So they escaped from your palace and came back to Swargapuri. This is the reason for your

failure."

Trust is the key virtue and powerful guard to a strong world or a country or an institution or a family. When trust is taken care of, no enemy can enter into one's territory. If you want to win a battle, kidnap the trust from your enemy, then you will be the final winner.

Have trust on you and your plans Trust others and Trust God. This is The secret of our happiness and success.

My heart and mind are thinking of you Oh! God!

My soul and body wish to serve you for ever Oh! Swamiji!

My thoughts and plans are always moving around you

My actions and interactions are for you! my beloved God

But I am not able to reach you Who is blocking the avenues to reach You? May be my ego is saying 'stop, not proceed' The fear of simple life; terror of sacrifice holding me back In struggle for time management; no time to think God of Mercy! I don't know what I want But I acknowledge that my weaknesses are iron blocks Attracted strongly towards the biggest magnet, the world No anti-magnetic therapy, I know to detach, but My soul is crying "It is not what I wanted" God! My Protector: Help me to detach from this estranged world of magnet I am innocent and helpless; only suffer in deemed pleasures You are my guide and protector; show my destiny Let me reach your temple; Grant me your protection for ever.

Life is a mathematical problem Solve it till you get right answer Use as many formulae as you can But don't leave it half done

"Stop that nonsense! Who said that? I don't believe it, because I am very weak in Mathematics"

Life is a romantic love story Narrate it till the climax Add as many dialogues as you wish But don't stop in between

"Keep quiet! It is not correct I don't accept it, because I have no patience to tell or listen boring stories."

Life is a Classical Music Sing with right tune and suitable rhythm Sing till the last verse But don't give up when you miss the right tune

"No! I don't agree at all Because I am not even a folk singer"

Then what is life? Oh! God! I don't know But I don't agree God, My Master Have mercy on me I am totally confused Please tell me what is life?

Dear Daughter!

When I sit in silence Why my mind makes such a noise? Can I have vigilance? On the noise generated at pose

Decided to check it Collected every word that came out Put them in the order of list Difficult to find a meaningful gist

O! My! God! My mind is not only a power house It is the word generating machine house Unbelievable number of words arose

I may find only in dictionary of book house

One page of words as cool as Himalayan breeze Another page as hot as mid summer sun The scientific brain, took all this to a lab Loaded into a computer to analyse, Aha! L.Tab

On the screen I can see 'I am sorry' My CPU cried with new sounds of Sony The mouse became sticky and bony I clicked the enter key! There is a big blow, Jony.

I was taken to a Master Healer of a clinic He cleared out tons of garbage from my minds kik I gathered it all these years with my skill and trick Made it empty and peaceful in his clinic

Gave a prescription 'Do not to worry' A smile an hour keeps all worries away Twice a day meditation to mind any way Tonic of his divine smile by the way

What consultancy fee I can pay to my Divine Healer, Mystic Doctor Can I give diamonds; they are dull before his wisdom radiating eyes Can I give all my riches; they are not equal to his affectionate smiles Decided to touch his feet with love; gave my soul to his clinic.

Thank you God of Mercy and our Protector!

Let us thank Him

Thank Him when you wake up at the time of dawn

Say! Thank You Lord! For one more day to serve you

Thank Him in your morning aradhana

Thank you Swamiji, for good food for my soul

Thank Him when you reach your workplace

Thank you Father! For showing life for me

Thank Him at your lunch time at midday

Thank you Anandeswara for giving food for my body

Thank Him when you return home

Thank you Divyathma! For a happy day

Part 3: Prayer, A Love Letter to God_English_part_3.md

Thank Him when you meditate at dusk

Thank you Dhyana Murthy! For giving divine Bliss

Thank Him when you are about to sleep

Thank you my beloved God for granting me peace

Thank Him during your sleep with your heart beat

Thank you THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Pradatha

Thank you Thank you Thank you

There was a school on the banks of a river close to a big town. One day a teacher was taking a value education class for seventh class students. In the class he was explaining to them the value of hard work. He said, "Those who take more pains gain more and hard work gives permanent results."

Students did not agree and they argued, "short cut or hard work, we should achieve results. If we are able to achieve our target with short cuts it is very good, so that we can save time and energy".

Master said, "No children! Your ideas are not correct. Results of short cuts are temporary. They blaze and disappear. Results of hard work shine like stars forever." But students were reluctant to accept it. He decided to teach them a permanent lesson.

Next day evening he assembled all the seventh class students and showed them a big heap of plants and said, "There are two types of plants. Some plants grow into bushes and bear small berries. They don't require much care. You need not water them regularly. They bear fruits within three months,"

He showed another group of plants and said, "These are mango plants. They require a lot of care and you have to supply water, manures etc. regularly. They give fruits only after three years but it continues for more years."

He looked at the students and said, "Each one of you select one sapling and plant it in our school garden. You have to take care of the plant. Your name will be given to the plant."

All the students except three, selected berry plants. Three students Ramu, Raju and Siva selected mango plants. After three months berry plants started giving small fruits. All the plant owners enjoyed the berries and teased those three who selected mango plants because those plants didn't even give new leaves.

After two years, all the students came to 9th class. Berry plants died. Mango plants grew into small trees. As they were hybrid plants they were giving fruits 3 times a year. After one more year they became beautiful trees and started giving a lot of fruits to all. Not only in the school, in the town also they became popular as Ramu mangoes, Raju mangoes and Siva mangoes. The trees added beauty to the school and all three students became very popular.

On farewell day, all teachers appreciated the hard work of the three students. On this occasion the headmaster said, "We may be here or may not, but these three trees carrying names of three students give fruit for a hundred more years."

All the students learnt an excellent lesson.

Hard work is a shortcut for success.

Don't be chased by time; after all, it is your creation Why do you look into the small machine that gives tension? Why you are regulated by small 'tick', 'tick' in irritation Can't you live beyond time management to reduce confusion?

Don't be a slave to money; in fact you are the master Money can do only a few; and it is only an ego booster Cannot buy love and life; but can create severe disaster Unknowingly sacrificing your life on this big gangster

Don't be a subordinate to desires, they are invited by you Why do you search for them create and enlarge list for you Guest became owner and it is managing your life and you Directing you into a giant spider's web O! Innocent you

Tensions and troubles; sorrows and depressions are Children of money and desires, become more and more If you fail to control desires, they become like strong steel bar Push you under the heavy burden of miseries, a hell for ever

If you control them, they become as weak as silk thread As light as hydrogen and as temporary as air bubble, Master the technique of meditation in any temple of Bliss Build a concrete road to reach the Eternal Bliss.

God of Love, Bless your children

With noble hearts to accommodate people in need

Prince of Peace; grant your people

A healthy mind that can spread your message

Light of Universe; energize hands of your followers

Morning mild rays of bright sun Touch your feet and say "Good morning Master, It is time to start your day programme."

The birds on banyan tree Sing morning songs to wake you up with love As a part of their morning prayer

The dew drops on petals of lotus Collect water along with sweet fragrance of flowers To offer padapuja to your sacred feet

Dignified clouds in the sky Shower drops of water along with prayers from heaven To give you a comfortable abhishekam

Colourful flowers in the garden Lotus and lilies in the lake, gather the soft flowers For morning guru pooja to their beloved Bhagavan

Trees and plants in and around Offer well ripened fruits with lots of love and devotion Along with sweet honey for Your breakfast

Elephant near the gate, koyila on the tree Peacock in Your backyard, deer in front of garden Sing and dance to glorify Your name

O! God! When the entire nature is thrilled in your service Being a man with ego and status With busy work schedule, no time to grab such joy

Swamy! I don't want this aimless and useless life any more I don't like this conditioned and restricted life style God of Mercy! Let me be not a man in my next birth

Let me born as a bird or butterfly in Your garden Let me be a tree or swan in the lake of Your Ashram At least let me be a grass flower in your lawns

God listen to my prayer Grant me my wish to be with You for ever

God our beloved Swamy The most powerful Master

Let the Power in your words Smash the mountains of Maya Velocity in your talks Wash away the evils Strength in your discourse Crash the darkness of ignorance Energy in your care Dash our souls towards bliss

Let the Grace in your walk Direct us to divine high ways Mercy in your heart Protect us from wrong ways Tranquility in your silence Lead us towards our forgotten inner world Divine Light in your smile Guide us to walk in your ways

Let the Light in your touch Enlighten the innocent souls Life in your speech Empower the feeble voices Wisdom in your glance Encourage us to be your followers Love in your care Energize our actions to reach our ultimate goal.

There was an ashram close to the chain of mountains covered by thick forests. Several tribal families were living in the forest depending on it for their livelihood. The ashram belonged to a great Rishi. To learn under his guidance young brahmacharies come from all over the world.

A group of fifteen disciples who were about to complete their spiritual, philosophical and other related education, were sitting along with another group of junior aspirants and were discussing yoga and meditation. During conversation some of the junior disciples commented on the great meditators and finally expressed that their seniors were also great meditators. Seniors felt very happy and they were hiding the rays of pride beneath dignified smiles. Exactly at that time Swamiji came and enquired "what are you discussing so intensively". All stood up and wished him. One of them replied, "Swamiji! We are talking about the great meditators in the world."

Another disciple said, "Swamiji, you might have met many great meditators. Can you tell us about such meditators?

Swamiji replied, "Sure! But not now. Come let us go to the tribal village to collect 'Veena' that we ordered last month. All followed Swamiji, on the way he explained to them about the socio-economic life of tribals, their innocence, ignorance and religious beliefs. Disciples understood that tribals were illiterates and didn't know civilized life.

They came close to the village. Close to their path under a tree a tribal young man was involved in making final touches to a beautiful veena.

One of the disciples said, "Swamiji! He is Raju. He is an illiterate tribal man, but he learned the art of making veena. He is not even a classical musician, but makes excellent veenas. People come from far away areas to buy veenas from him. We also gave order to him."

Swamiji smiled and walked close to him. But these disciples didn't know that the tribal man learnt that art from their Swamiji only. Raju was so involved in the work that their conversation or their footsteps did not disturb him. Swamiji was looking at his work and involvement with great affection. But the disciples were burning with anger because Swamiji was standing close to him but he was not standing and not showing any respect.

One disciple burst with anger "How dare he is! Can't he see our Swamy. He is too proud". He was about to say something more, but Swamiji stopped him with a sign.

Suddenly a big cobra came passing under his arms and over his laps to the other side, but Raju was not disturbed. When the disciples noticed such a big cobra they shouted with fear and took a few steps backward. To that sound Raju was disturbed. He was surprised and excited in happiness to see his Swamy so close to him. Immediately he touched the feet of Swamiji.

Now the snake turned its direction towards Swamiji and Raju. Both didn't move. The snake touched Swamiji's feet and disappeared into the forest.

Swamiji said, "Raju are you not afraid?" Raju replied with folded hands, "No Swamiji! I am in my Gods presence."

The disciples shivering with fear became normal. They reflected on their behavour when they saw the snake. But it was a common, natural tendency of human beings. For them Raju was appearing as more than a normal man as he did not show that reaction.

Swamiji turned to his disciples and said, "You asked me about a great meditator. Here he, Raju, a great meditator I found in my life. He gave the definition of devotion and meaning of meditation."

Swamiji blessed Raju with his divine smile and infinite love. All returned to the ashram with happiness in heart, a beautiful veena in hands and a good lesson in their mind.

Don't forget to put the lock of Trust to the doors of love He will be forever with you All the best. Our blessings will be with you.

A person who hugs pleasures

Lives in sorrows

A man who attaches to riches

Suffers perennial poverty

One who fears death

Dies millions of times

A person who escapes from problem

Stays in troubles

A man who is afraid of pains

Never gain anything

A person who sacrifices values

Lifeless forever

A man who is ruled by desires

Locked up in miseries

A person who stops reading and listening

Becomes a foolish illiterate.

In an ashram hundreds of aspirants were getting education and training under a Master. His training was for total personality development of students. He always stressed on the principle of unity, because his disciples were from different countries, with different languages, religions and beliefs.

One day in a class He said, "Dear children! In deep ocean fishes in different sizes live. Big fish always eats small fish. There are some fish which are very small in size. They live in big groups, when they find a very big fish, immediately they make a formation of very big fish. The enemy fish runs away thinking that it is encountering a very big fish. This is the greatness of unity. We can find such unity among animals and birds. If you are united you can encounter any powerful calamity and you can conquer a powerful enemy also."

All the disciples heard the words of Swamiji carefully. But later as usual they were forming small sub-groups. Swamiji wanted to teach them a lesson with an experience.

One day Swamiji formed a group of 50 students selecting them from different sub-groups. He assigned them a task of getting a type of herbal fruits and leaves from the forest. As usual they all were walking in small groups.

Suddenly they found a demon which was as big as a small hill. They were frozen in fear. The demon was approaching towards them. They couldn't run back or shout for help because the ashram was very far to them.

Suddenly one of the students remembered the lesson of Swamiji on unity. He gave a plan to all the students. All of them climbed big tree and stood in the form of a demon. At once they started shouting as loudly as possible. It created a horrible sound. The demon thought that it was a bigger demon and ran away.

All the disciples came down, hugged each other in the joy of victory. They completed the work assigned by Swamiji.

After reaching the ashram all fell at the feet of Swamiji and explained to him how unity helped them to conquer the demon. They promised Swamiji that till the last day of their stay on the earth they would maintain unity.

Swamiji blessed them with his beautiful smile and divine love. Disciples didn't know that it was a drama created by Swamiji to teach them a lesson.

Unity is strength to any creature. If trees unite – they form thick forest Man cannot penetrate If rocks unite – they form into mountain Man cannot shake it If water drops unite – they form big ocean Man cannot conquer If small ants unite – they kill big python If men unite – they can the conquer the world Unity is the safest protector to a country or a family which cannot be broken by any missile

MASTER'S LOVE IS BEAUTIFUL

Master's love is wonderful and unconditional No comparison to make; no scale to measure It can be experienced, explained and cherished God! Your love is the most beautiful and rare gift

His love is mother's love without boundaries and barriers He smiles with love; when I commit a mistake, unknowingly If I make an error purposefully, he corrects and guides me If my blunder is irreparable; God of Mercy excuses lovingly

When I walk on wrong track, he diverts me to the right If I am arrogant and agitating; he smiles and changes me He holds my hand, shows right destiny, even if I reject But he never gets angry; never punishes his children, but loves

His loves is unconditional and unending flow of nectar Rich and poor; young and old, fool and wise No discrimination in his kingdom to enjoy his love It is up to you and me to gain it and enjoy forever

God's love is so beautiful; you can never find anywhere He loves you when you don't, He accepts even if you don't He never counts your sins and mistakes; but loves you He loves you more than parents, relatives and friends because He is God of Love

Can you and I repay to His wonderful infinite love Except doing what he likes; and what pleases Him Walk in his light, talk in his language, because If you say 'I don't love you'; He says 'I love you' with divine smile

I heard a knock at my door

So musical and pleasant to listen, like to listen more Enjoying the sound of music; waiting for once more Again the music and voice "My child! I came for you! Open the door!"

I heard a melodious voice! Yes it is my God's voice Very familiar! I hear it in my prayers I jumped in joy, rushed to door and opened Surprise to see my God; so unexpected

Thrilled in joy; astonished in delight Is it a reality or a dream; No! it is not a dream I can feel the light of His smile; I can experience His presence Staring at Him with wide opened eyes; half opened mouth

"Don't you allow me into your home". God asked with affection O! God! O! My God! I realized the reality I walked into my hut; Not clean and beautiful My God walked in; sat on old wooden chair! I am at His feet

I wanted to sing for Him; No word is out I wanted to dance for Him; My feet fixed on floor I wanted to offer sweets, fruits and flowers O! God! I don't know where they are; I don't know what to do

My brain, heart, thoughts all are filled with joy I cried at my inability; I cried in joy;Filled with gratitude Touched His sacred feet; washed with my tears God of Love! Touched my head. enquired about me

He blessed me in abundance and said" I am happy, I delished your love; I accepted your bhakti and pooja I liked it very much" Bhagavan! You are God of Mercy! Lord of Kindness! If not you, who can say like this to me You enjoyed my poor hut, my action less pooja." Swamy! Can I explain your greatness? No, impossible God! I love you. Please visit again

I will be prepared to receive you I don't know when again I can hear knock at my door I will wait for that sound of Music

Till the last day of my stay on the earth

In an ashram young men were trained in various courses under the loving care of a Master. One day Gurudev along with senior disciples went to the other corner of the Ashram and sat under a big banyan tree.

Swamiji was talking to them about the intelligence of taking opportunities and utilizing opportunities. He said "Dear Children! Some opportunities are very rare. If you miss rare opportunities you may not get them again in life." He narrated some examples and illustrations.

After the class, one student questioned, pointing towards a hill, "Swamiji! On the top of the hill I found light yesterday. I was confused. What is it?" Swamiji smiled and replied, "My child, I heard that there is a great treasure on the top of the hill. I don't know what it is. If you are interested, you can go and find out what it is." Everyone showed interest and said, "Can all of us go to Swamiji." "Yes! All of you can go and try what it is" replied with a smile.

The whole group moved towards the hill, till the end of the Ashram. They noticed that the hill was five to six kilometers away from the ashram. They didn't find any way to go up the mountain. After a brief discussion among themselves only 20 disciples came out and said "Swamiji, we 20 decided to go, please give us permission."

Swamiji smiled and said, "Yes! Now it self you can go." All the twenty disciples walked up to one kilometer. They started discussing among themselves. "It is a hot sunny day. We didn't come prepared with water and food. It is a mountain and it stays there forever. Before we complete our education we can come one day with prepared minds and go to the top of the mountain. Swamiji also appreciates our systematic and planned programme".

Ten of the 20 students returned and explained the reason to Swamiji. Swamiji smiled and said, "As you like".

After walking for one more kilometer five out of ten disciples started talking among themselves, "We are not able to find any steps or way to go up. We can see from here how people are struggling to go up. We have no experience in climbing hills and mountains. Why to invite troubles unnecessarily. If we fall and get hurt it will be a trouble to our Swamiji. Come! Let us go back. Swamiji will appreciate our decision." They returned to the ashram and explained the reason to Swamiji. Swamiji with an affectionate smile said, "Children! It is O.K. Stay back, no problem."

After walking for one more kilometer, two of the remaining five students started discussion, "Though it looks like five kilometers distance it will be more. My grand Ma told me how much you walk, you cannot reach mountains."

Other boy said, "Yes! My grandmother also said the same. She also told me that poisonous snakes, wild animals and also devils will be there on such mountains. It is not safe to take such a foolish adventure. I am sure we cannot return to the ashram. Swamiji will be worried about us. Let us go back". They returned to the ashram. Swamiji welcomed those two boys with the same affectionate smile.

After walking for one more kilometer, two of the remaining disciples started discussing; One of them said, "Do you believe that there is really a treasure there? If it is true, people are not fools to keep the treasure for us. I think there is something in it".

Other boy immediately reacted and said, "Yes! You are right. I am also thinking the same. Like fools we came. It may be a test for us by Swamiji. When the greatest treasure in the world is at the feet of our Gurudev, like fools we are running behind the mirages. Let us go back and fall at the feet of our Swami and say that we don't want any treasure. We need only your blessings."

Both the disciples were very happy about their decision and went back. They fell at the feet of Swamiji and said, "We don't want any treasure except your blessings." Swamiji welcomed them with the same affectionate smile.

Finally one disciple reached the foot of the hill. He started thinking, "Among hundred, I came alone. Am I a fool? No. When THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM said treasure, there will be something good for us. If it is dangerous, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM never allows us to go. When he said 'go' it implies it is not dangerous." He again started thinking, "How to go? There is a lamp on the top of the hill. Therefore, people are going up. When someone is able to climb, why can't I."

He decided to climb. He prayed to THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM for his blessings and protection and took a step. One shepherd came and said, "Swamy! On the other side steps are there. You can go. For our sheep we climb this side."

The disciple felt that THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM answered his prayer and walked towards the other side. He was surprised to find very comfortable steps. He easily climbed and reached the top within 15 minutes. On the top there were some monks. They enquired about him and gave him fresh water and fruits. They also told him that a Swamiji from the Himalayas came and stayed here and he is a master in several sciences. The disciple expressed a desire to have Swamiji darshan and they took him to the Swamiji.

He explained everything to Swamiji. He appreciated the boy and said "Child! I will be here for one week. I will teach you some new sciences. You can stay and learn. After one week I will go back to the Himalayas.

He thanked Swamiji and stayed for one week. Meanwhile in the ashram all the students thought that he died in haunting treasure on the hill. Swamiji was angry because he ran behind treasure. Due to this reason Swamiji didn't bother about him. Therefore no body dared to raise this topic in front of Swamiji or never discussed it openly in the ashram.

After one week, the disciple returned to the ashram. His face was bright with a new glow and joy of learning new subjects. He came running to his gurudev, touched his feet and thanked him profoundly with tears. Swamiji hugged him and blessed him. The boy explained everything to Swamiji. Swamiji felt very happy and said, "I am proud of you, my child. You are very lucky to get an opportunity to meet such a saint and got training under him."

Now all the students wanted to go. He said, No chance. '' He had already left for the Himalayas". Swamiji added, "He is one of the greatest masters of the Himalayas. Now he will go to his Thapasya. He may not open his eyes for 10 to 20 years."

All the disciples were disappointed. Their disappointment haunted them throughout their life.

God the most powerful Healer!

Our beloved Swamy! Ruler of the Universe! Master of Mercy! Paramahamsa!

Your children are tortured in the hell of loneliness Save them with your assured Ananda Prema Madhuri Let them realize they are enough to them If they discover their inner core with your blessings Innocent people in the world are suffering endlessly Grant them light of your Ananda Jnanamrutham And make them understand, that the suffering is illusion If they are able to undersatand Your message.

People are troubled under the pressurs and violence Help them to find the right path to peace and love If they follow your guidance and techniques, and Give them accommodation in the heaven of Ananda Ashram

Many are in the midst of crookedness and contamination Relieve them and grant them the sanctified Ananda Peacelessness became order of day; Enmity is the rule of day God redeemer of our pains, grant us Ananda Darshan

My strongest desire is

Not to be a queen in a golden palace for a life But to be a lamp in your temple for a day

Not to be the most beautiful in the world for ever But to be clay in your hands to take a form in your vision

Not to be a mighty river on a mountain peak But to be a water drop in your Kamandal for a minute

Not to stay permanently in the heaven of angles But to be in Your temple for one second

To live in your presence and die at Your feet To be re- born in Your Arms to live a True Blissful Life

Oceans and mountains; continents and rivers are part of You They are in Your courageous grip Millions of distressed, worried and troubled people Are in your generous heart Treasures and wealth; Gold and diamond mines Are in your nectarine knowledge Dashing winds; Raising springs and jumping water falls Are in your dynamic speeches Melody in songs; beauty in art; grace in dance of angels Are in your graceful gestures Lights of stars, rays of sun, charms of moon, flash of lighting Are in your wisdom radiating eyes Joy and peace; love and mercy; kindness and care Are in your stretched arms Jealous and hatred; violence and wickedness; ego and anger Are under your powerful feet Millions of Mandirs and thousands of Ashrams Are in your divine sweet home Sweet in honey; life in nectar; beauty in nature Are in your bright divine smiles Gods of heaven; Angels of Paradise; Saints and Rishis Are around your sanctified surroundings Salvation the ultimate destiny; Eternal Bliss, the Nithyananda Are in your loving Blessings Our beloved Swamy You are the conqueror of prakriti and owner of universe All are in you And you are Viswathma and Viswaroopa

Lord of Love and the Light of the universe Let Your words become my inner chatter Let Your discourses become my voice Let Your message become my breath Let Your Love flow in my heart and veins Let your compassion fill all my nerves Let your grace add colour to my skin Let Your technique become my vision

Let my ears listen to Your prayers Let my eyes see only Your mission Let my feet walk towards Your temple Let my fingers write Your glory Let my tongue chant Your manthra Let my forehead touch Your feet Let my being fill with Your form Let me become one with You for ever.

I am red, the colour for brightness and love I am orange; I am for sacrifice and affection My name is yellow; I wish good and I am for friendship I am green; I stand for prosperity and mercy My colour is blue; I am for dignity and beauty My name is indigo; I am symbol of simplicity and kindness I am violet; I represent richness and wisdom

One day all had fightin the home of rainbow " Who is the greatest in the universe, all above"

Sun God sent them to the Master for final judgment All colours descended to his ashram, so determinant

Red came; surprised at His bright and lovely smile Bowed to Swamiji, and merged in his divine smile Orange saw Swamji in saffron; united in Him, as His follower Yellow was surprised to see God of Love and joined in Him, to serve Green rushed; could not but surrender to God of Mercy Blue walked in; became puppet to His dignity and became one with him Indigo bowed to the King of Kindness and reached his feet Violet looked at wisdom radiating eyes and united with Him

All colours and qualities merged in Master They became pure white and holy peace A beautiful rainbow became his crown Gurding him from all directions Master, God of Nature and Prince of all colours and values Made the Eternal Bliss enter into the kingdom of rainbow.

One day a Master in an ashram, after his regular class, talking to his disciples told them, "Children, you learn theories and sciences during your class. But all that you understand here should be observed in the surroundings where you live. Observe how each item and object is playing its role. Add your intelligence to react spontaneously. Then only education will be useful."

Students heard every word carefully. Next day evening, Swamiji was taking class in front of his room under a tree. It was slowly becoming dark. There was no light in the room, therefore his room was dark.

Swamiji told them "Children! any one of you makes my room filled with something. Let me see who can do it quickly".

As soon as Swamiji completed his words, students ran to the garden and nearby hill to collect leaves, flowers and beautiful stones and decorated the room completely. One boy who was always calm and slow brought a burning candle and kept it on the lamp stand. Entire room was filled with light.

Swamiji and also all the boys appreciated the boy for his intelligent act. Swamiji said, "If you use some logic and reasoning you could have brought light, because it is dark and light is essential but not flowers and leaves". All the disciples learn a wonderful lesson.

For the past 27 years, this international body has been responsible in building relations, bridging dialogs, inspiring leaders, uniting nations towards acknowledging the Hindu policies which are universal, life positive as referenced from the ancient text of Hinduism. This is the 'ahimsa' (non-violent) way of bringing acknowledgment to the horrors of the Hindu genocide, the untold facts of the darkest act of mankind on Earth to the most contributing civilization - KAILASA.

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

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

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

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

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

• Delegitimizing SPH by hate propaganda, disenfranchising Him of His civil and human rights, prejudicing Him from fair representation and fair trial
• Repeated illegal imprisonment, with brazen torture, custodial assassination attempts, supported by system justification in various forms, including the common processes of bureaucracy, indifference, self-deception, diffused responsibility and has resulted in continued systemic complicity with torture, murder and genocide
• Well-planned multi-layer false hate propaganda by the 'fourth estate' media sustained by moral disengagement, leaving the broader public in a state of willful ignorance, motivated denial, out-group victim-blaming, dehumanization and bystander apathy to even genocide.

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

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