Nithyanandam Living Legend

30 years of the life of Paramahamsa Nithyananda on planet Earth

Paramahamsa Nithyananda

A photograph of a large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots

Sadaashiva Samaarambaam Shankaraacharya Madhyamaam Asmadaacharya Paryantham Vande Guru Paramparaam

From Sadashiva the primeval Guru, to Adi Shankaracharya who came in-between, to my own Guru, I bow down and worship the Guru Parampara - the entire lineage of great Masters who are the revealers of the grand Truth.

Sung by Sri Adi Shankaracharya in praise of Dakshinamurti, the young primeval Guru:

Chitram vatatharormulae
vrudha shishya gururyuva;
Gurostu maunam vyakyanam
shishyastu chinnasamsaya

What a wonder! This vision under the banyan tree! The teacher is a young lad, the taught are old men! The teacher is silent, yet the doubts of the disciples are dissolved.
