When I was attending the meditation course called ASP ('Ananda Spurana Program'), the very name happened in me. 'Ananda Spurana' means "Flowering of Bliss", which happens inside our being i.e., the 'Atma' attains the state of Ananda.
During the ASP, Swamiji taught us lots of meditation techniques related to the main energy centers of our body, called Chakras. Each meditation was to cleanse and energise each chakra. This made my vision towards life much more wider... much more broader.......and deeper.
I was a person who didn't even know about 'Meditation' or 'Inner Journey'. I had never even heard the word 'Enlightenment'. Even after hearing the word I couldn't trace its meaning. In such a state, I came to know about an 'Enlightened Master'. I came to know about him by his divine healing method i.e., healing through meditation. It was like a flood coming and filling a well in a desert area.
When I saw Swamiji for the first time, I was very surprised because he was so young. He was only 26 years and doing miracles, by healing the most severe diseases in the world. This showed that he is a person who knows the past, present and the future. So, he would certainly know what kind of a personality we could be in future. The only thing is, we must completely surrender ourselves to his sacred feet. We will definitely see our personality gets widened and we become much more aware.
He often says the ultimate truth is his very name. ‘Nithyananda’ (permanent bliss) can be attained by anyone in this world. I am sure that the people the stage of ‘Nithayananda’ would be much more superior to the stage of ‘Enlightenment’!
A lot of things in my life became clear. Swamiji is a person who doesn’t look at anyone’s face. Instead he sees the Being, or Atma. That is why he allowed a person like me who doesn’t even know the basic idea of spirituality to stay with him as an inmate.
He told me a small story that he is like a person standing on the 10ᵗʰ floor of a building - from that building he has a wide and broad view and he knows which car is coming at what speed and what distance. We are the persons standing on the road, we cannot even know or see if a car is coming.
Swamiji says, "When we share dukkha (misery) it becomes less. But when we share ananda (joy) it becomes more and more. When we just spread ananda it will be a blissful experience. But we are lucky to have with us an enlightened personality called 'Nithyananda' i.e., the Ananda which is forever. When we spread Nithyananda, we too will be part of Nithyananda!
