Paramahamsa Sri Nithyananda Swamigal is a truly revolutionary spiritual master of our century.
Swamiji embarked upon his spiritual journey at a very young age. He traversed the length and breadth of India on foot, studying with great masters in India and Nepal and practising intense tapasya with extraordinary vigour. He experienced with the final flowering of consciousness on 1st January, 2000 - the sacred day of his Enlightenment.
With a pragmatic yet compassionate approach to life and spirituality, and an enlightened insight into the core of human nature, Swamiji has reached out to touch millions of hearts across the world. Swamiji's mission is simple - to awaken the divinity that lies latent in man. To this end, he inaugurated the worldwide movement for meditation - Dhyana Peetam - on 1st January, 2003. With its spiritual nerve centre in Bidadi (near Bangalore) and over 100 centres around the world, Dhyana Peetam works towards the transformation of humanity through the inner transformation of the individual. Swamiji's divine healing powers and simple, practical meditation techniques help you blossom in every sphere of life - be it physical, emotional, intellectual or spiritual.
Anyone who has attended Swamiji's vibrant discourses will surely recall the many 'small stories' with which they are sprinkled.
Drawn from folk-tales, Zen anecdotes, comic books and from his own experience, these stories are small only in size. Hidden deep in each simple story is a profound insight into human nature, which Swamiji draws out with gentle humour and infinite compassion.
Some of Swamiji's most popular parables are presented here. As always with these anecdotes, go easy on the factual details, just enjoy the spirit of the tales!
