Paramahamsa Nithyananda's 2012 Vision🔗

Let us establish an ideal civilization which is Living Enlightenment.

Here is my vision of the ideal civilization: the infrastructure of the West – medical care, roads, dams, bridges, social freedom – and the mental and physical structure of the Eastern yogi. Yogic hardware, Vedic mind, with Western infrastructure – that is what I define as complete human being – jeevan mukta.

This is the Vedic tradition I want to revive, which is life-affirming. It constantly inspires you to stand up and live beautifully – living in health, radiating joy, love and compassion, attracting the right persons in your life, attracting right relationships, attracting wealth and contributing to society which will be peaceful and crime-free.

Our whole Mission is built on the strong foundation of tapas (spiritual effort). We believe in practicing and living what we preach. My message is 'live enlightenment', jeevan mukti. So the followers of Nithyananda Mission will themselves first live as jeevan muktas. The strength of my jeevan mukti is the only inspiration for my message. Living Enlightenment does not work if we try to inspire people through marketing or manipulation.

I tell my disciples, we ourselves will be the models for inspiration, we will first be jeevan muktas. We will always be loving in whatever way we can, we will not hurt anyone, we will be violence-free. This will result in unimaginable inspiration for all others around us.

The Mission will provide education at all levels from schooling to university and life skills education. The Mission will provide holistic primary education through the proven gurukul system (ancient Vedic curriculum) as well as one hundred and eight Nithyananda Vidyālayas (educational institutions) to reach out to economically challenged kids in the interior and rural parts of India. The Mission will provide the best university education as a spiritual education center, spiritual dynamo.

The vision is to bring back to life Naimiśāranyal, the ancient Vedic university which was a center of higher learning. Thousands of seekers from all over the world studied there. Instruction was continuous. I want to bring the wisdom of the past masters back to life, so that all techniques and paths for spiritual growth are available to every generation beyond our time. Let the Naimiśāranyal be a welcoming magnet for seekers to travel to and reach the ultimate potential of human life – enlightenment.

One of the main reasons why the ancient Vedic civilization has been alive for thousands of years is the sannyas tradition. Sannyasis, or full-time seekers, have dedicated their lives to preserving and spreading spiritual tradition and the science of enlightenment. We will have a strong foundation of sannyasis and swamis who live enlightenment and radiate their love, joy and compassion to all of humanity.

In the center for Vedic education, there will be a huge research library with at least 10 million books available. This will be the center for those who want to pursue research in any religion or any field related to enlightenment, spirituality, meditation and body-mind-spirit.

As long as the opportunity for crime is a reality, criminals will continue to exist. A criminal is not one person. He is a personification, a personified expression of criminal ideas. Executing criminals will not suppress the incidence of criminality on Planet Earth. Only by erasing the energy of criminality, which is like a contagious disease, can we prevent the infection of new individuals into criminals.

If we kill a terrorist leader, will the fact of terrorism disappear from Planet Earth? As long as the tendency, the ideology, is alive, it will simply move to somebody else who will erupt to replace the terrorist we eliminated. Until we remove the saṁsāra – the vital conditioning – of violence, Planet Earth cannot be crime-free or terror-free. Removing the saṁsāras or engrams – memories that have engraved themselves upon us which compel us to behave in negative ways, even against our better judgments – is what we do in our meditation and yoga programs. So spreading meditation and yoga especially among the youth is very important. It will support the removal of negative mentality from Planet Earth.

The most direct technique to individual happiness and global peace is living enlightenment – jeevan mukti. Jeevan mukti is nothing but living a conflict-free life of integration between our inner and outer worlds. Life becomes a beautiful harmony, without a gap between the two worlds.

The only way to bring about global peace is through individual transformation. Each one of us has to raise the frequency of our consciousness and radiate love and compassion towards all in all our actions. As more and more people open to higher consciousness, the collective positive energy will express itself in overflowing peace.

Revolution is not the way; evolution is the way. Every revolution has begun with the promise of truth, the hope of an ultimate solution. But in the last three thousand years of Earth’s history we have had five thousand wars, most of them created by those claiming to be revolutionaries! It is now our responsibility to add a more positive spin, a more positive approach. Peace needs to be brought into each individual’s heart; then it will radiate and transform the entire planet. When each of us has found inner peace, we will automatically generate an expanding vortex of positive vibrations which will turn the tide of violence and negativity.

When one person starts living enlightenment, he initiates thousands of people. When we begin the practice of living enlightenment in our area, our every movement, our every breath, will raise the consciousness of those around us. It will happen with complete spontaneity. There is no need to even talk about what we are doing. We will see that just by our presence, we will transmit living enlightenment. Just by our daily living we will raise human consciousness!
