Questions and Answers🔗

Q: Dear Swamiji, 2012 is around the corner. Is that why more and more people are getting ready for Kundalini awakening? Suzanne, Mumbai, India

A: Instead of saying more and more people are getting ready for Kundalini awakening, I can say, more and more energy expressing is happening as an incarnation. It is like this: there are some people in the ocean asking for help. Instead of them stretching out their hand for help, the person who is sitting in the boat is stretching his hand to lift them up!

Q: Swamiji, I have done plenty of bad stuff in my life. Now I am really scared of 2012. What can I do to make it right, to make it to the right side of 2012? Terrie Michele from Arizona, USA

A: Understand, what you do is no way going to be related to 2012. It is not about 'what you do'; it is about 'how you are'! The moment you have decided to prepare yourself to be with less thought, that is enough. Nothing else needs to be done. You don't need to be afraid. I am not here to teach you that hell or heaven is coming, I am not here to frighten you. So don't worry. Just prepare yourself to just enjoy that no-thought zone. Learn to sit happily, that's all.

Don't be addicted to work.

Yoga is efficiency in action So work, but don't be continuously restless about the work. I can say that ability to 'just sit' is enough preparation to face 2012!

Q: What is the right attitude with which to face 12-12- 12? Fighting the evil forces or complete surrender to the cosmic will? Swaminathan from Mumbai, India

A: Swaminathan, both are one and the same. When you surrender to the cosmic will, you will fight the evil forces.

If you see in the Hindu epic Rāmāyaṇa, Rāma and Sītā were living happily. But the collective negativity in the form of Sūrpanakha is forced to go to them to create trouble and start the fight with Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa. Sūrpanakha goes and informs Rāvaṇa and Rāvaṇa comes and kidnaps Sītā! The whole drama starts! So understand, even if you are surrendered to the cosmic will, you will naturally have to fight with the evil forces, nothing can be done. They are not two separate things. They are one and the same!

Q: What can I as an individual do to bridge and transmit a new and fresh understanding to people who are more or less stuck in their mind? Lenhart Hansen, Melbourne, Australia

A: Lenhart, just start enjoying your aloneness so deeply. When you do that, people around you will not be able to tolerate your joy, your ecstasy! They will poke you, 'What are you doing? How is it happening?' They will try their best to imitate you! The moment they poke you, catch them and tell them about these truths!

Q: Dear Swamiji, how does the 2012 phenomenon affect children? What can we do as parents to help them to make the best use of this happening? Arathi, San Jose, US

A: Two things: If your child is in India, don’t worry. Because the children in India are not taking up that kind of stress. The only stress they take is the stress of education and that too only after the age of 14. Of course, I don’t call the major cities of India like Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and Ahmedabad, Hyderabad as ‘India’. If you are living outside these cities of India, they are not given the stress of education. They have not started enjoying the ‘thought-aholic’ state. So you don’t have to worry.

But nowadays, kids are trained to enjoy the ‘thought-aholic’ state and parents are proud about it. They feel pride if their kids are restless. I am happy that I was born to parents who are so completely insensitive to what YOU call as life. They are such nice villagers! They let me grow on my own, never putting that ‘thought-aholic’ state on me. They never put me into the constant comparison, peer pressure etc. So, if your child is in the space where peer pressure and ‘thought-aholic’ state have become a lifestyle, whatever you go through, your child also will go through. De-conditioning and cleansing will have to happen to your child also.

When you come for the Inner Awakening program, get your child for the eNgenius program, that’s all.

Q: Can you please expand on the years – 2012 and 2015? I remember you saying that these are the peak years to jump into enlightenment. Also, when will the effects of loss of engrams and weight reduction process be complete? Brahmanya from San Jose, USA

A: The process has already started from this morning. Till 12-12-12 it will move to the peak. From 12-12-12 till 2015 it will stay in the same state. From 2015, it will start coming back to yesterday’s level, but it will take 300 years for that.

So we are going to be in that space for three years when we will be creating such human beings that it will take 300 years for them to come down from that state. But I don’t think you will come down from that state because the majority of the people will jump into that zone.

It is like this: If 30% of the monkeys jump into the human zone, all the other monkeys will automatically jump into the human zone. In the same way, if 30% of our population jumps into the jeevan mukti zone, the huge conscious shift will happen. So I don’t think we will come back at all.

It is just like the Internet age. Can you go back from the internet age? No. But 15 years ago, none of you could have imagined the Internet age. But it has happened! Can you say that after 20 years the Internet age is going to disappear? No! It is only going to go into the higher and higher zones. I feel that in just the next few years, each of you will be wearing eye glasses with screens that show your avatar and even when standing in front of each other, you will be texting each other’s avatar on the screens! It is going to go only to the extreme.

In the same way, once this jeevan mukta space opens, it is only going to go to that extreme. I don’t see it coming down.

I see tremendous auspiciousness - mangalattwa happening.

Q: How to distinguish between thought and intuition? Kaushik Patel, Vadodara, India

A: ‘Thought’ is ‘mumbo jumbo’ of your confusion. Intuition means you are in ‘tuition’ with the cosmos! That will not be mumbo jumbo of your confusion. You will just know very clearly you are in ‘tuition’. As long as you have a doubt, be very clear it is not intuition. When your doubts are cleared, you are in intuition.

Q: Can we get to the zero-engram state just by holding on to our vitarka with you? Nithya Devi from Singapore

A: I can say that the vitarka or ‘feeling connection’, ‘feeling openness’, is more than enough. That itself can lead you to the zero-engram state. But there is one danger. When you are friendly with people, they can put ideas into you, they can brief you. That can endanger your vitarka. That is why I say, even if you have vitarka, do the spiritual practices also. So your vitarka is never questioned or shaken. The spiritual practices will protect your vitarka and expand it.

Q: How can we help others who are not connected with the sangha (refers to Nithyananda’s movement) to prepare for 2012?

A: Just tell them to watch the everyday satsaṅg (refers to the everyday morning talk aired live on the Internet) The sangha is not an island! Like how you say, ‘dial an engineer’, ‘dial a lawyer’ etc, now you can ‘dial an avatar’!

We are starting this service everyday morning in a few days. So ‘dial an avatar’, that’s all.

Q: What is that one thing that you would recommend to us to share with the mass so as to inspire and prepare them for 2012? Sonal Kataria, Bangalore, India

A: Tell them that their engrams are going to drastically reduce. Ask them, ‘It is going to be like a wave. Are you going to go with that wave and get enlightenment or are you going to get drowned into it and get into depression?’ That’s it!

Q: How to influence or change unconsiousness, matter or activity to a conscious person? Deshkumar, Bangalore, India

A: The best thing to do is, you radiating that bubbly joy. Be like a bubbly child, that’s all, nothing else!

Q: Is there a possibility for the thought-based people to make a shift to thoughtless state. If yes, what is the way out for them? Can we help them? Ma Vedanta, Bangalore, India

A: Yes it is possible. It is possible. Just tell them, 'Start enjoying unclutching. Learn unclutching and start enjoying it.'

Q: Swami, would it be correct to say, inner chatter began when language began. So if we do away with it, we can just experience life as it happens Ma Nithya Ramani, Bangalore, India

A: I am not saying you should completely renounce the inner chatter. You should know when to switch off and enjoy that switched-off state, that's all! You can switch on whenever you want, there is nothing wrong in that. When you want to do something creative, you can switch it on. Just the capacity to switch off is more than enough.

Q: Swami, what practices should I do to prepare for the conscious explosion and jump into enlightenment? Akshay, Bangalore, India

A: I have developed a very simple yet powerful Nithya Kriya – everyday technique - just for unclutching. Just like Nithya Kriya for migraine, Nithya Kriya for blood pressure, Nithya Kriya for diabetes, I have developed this. I sat and got into the extreme of clutching thoughts and did the reverse calculation of unclutching. I saw which are the nerves that need to be loosened and which parts of the body need to be tightened. I analysed the formula and worked out a very simple Kriya.

Q: Dear _Swamiji_, with the changes coming, do you see the financial market being affected? Ma Ananda Manorama, Vancouver, Canada

A: I see a huge change in the financial market. All the direct wealth is going to have more value – like this furniture here which is your direct luxury, the car which you directly use – all these will acquire great value. But all the imaginary industries like the banking industry, the share market, the entertainment industry heroes, brokering, etc., all are going to collapse! All physical things like steel, metal, iron, gold, silver are all going to rise in value. All the imaginary markets that are merely numbers added inside computers will collapse. Diamond is an imaginary industry!

Only the printed currency that you have will matter. The values of one currency against another currency are going to drastically fluctuate and fall. You can also move more towards the agriculture-based industry, the real estate industry, the pharmaceutical industry which caters especially to the psychological problems, because there is going to be a huge depression. There will not be just one type of depression but different types of depression, like the different types of phobia!

So cultivate the right wealth consciousness.

Here I want to give a disclaimer. I am not a qualified financial consultant!

Q: How to heal our own body?

A: See your body has many different inner potential energies. In that, one energy is the energy of self healing. If you can awaken it by the proper practices, through the yogic processes, naturally you can heal your body. I have spoken about this science for hours. Around 2000 hours of my tips, techniques and processes are available on our Life Bliss Foundation YouTube channel. You can watch those. That will give you a lot of ideas, techniques, process and methods to heal your body.
