1. Introduction and Foreword🔗

English Translation

I honestly do not know where to start and what to write. As I started contemplating what to write about these incredible five years I was at the feet of my master, I wondered. Should I write about the master, his incredible compassion, all the miracles that happen so casually around Him every day, the incredible dimensions of Him, His teachings? Should I write about my journey, where I came from and all the dimensions He is giving me an opportunity to live first hand? My mind is racing in all directions wanting to write everything about this exciting journey. I have no idea where this book will take me. But I know for sure He is again giving me an opportunity to discover myself, understand where I came from, where I am going and most importantly have fun while at it.

I feel I should write about all the dimensions of life I am able to live simultaneously at the feet of my master. This life is incredible in terms of the freedom it has given me. Imagine living intensely with no pressure, absolutely no worries because you know you have been taken care of. I feel so light in my mind and body these days. I feel as though an incredible burden has been taken off my shoulders. For this no words can express my gratitude to my Master Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Thank you Swamiji for taking care of me!

I am hoping for those corporate types or professionals out there who are struggling like I was, that this book show how simple the path of spirituality is, how exciting this journey of self discovery is if we are open, and how we can have it all. When my mind was contemplating taking the so called jump, I went through the logical analysis which said, "Why should I get into this now, let me do this after my kids grow up and finish college?" Then I looked around my relatives who also contemplated this, maybe 10 years before I was confronted with this decision. And now they say, "Oh, it is too late for taking such a drastic step. Also, we are expecting our first grandchild, let us take this jump later" (it is really not a jump as I thought it was, it is also not a feeling that we are giving up something. It is really a jump into liberation, a jump into an intense lifestyle which I found so much more fulfilling. I will discuss more on this in later chapters.)

As Swamiji teaches us, Quantum Spirituality is the process of living all dimensions - material and spiritual - all at once. Through His grace I am a living example of personally living all these dimensions at once and with intense passion. If I can do this, so can you. Please keep an open mind as I share my life, my triumphs and tribulations during this exciting journey of self discovery and transformation.

As I started writing this book, I wanted to share my day with you. Today is May 12, 2008. It is 9pm in Baltimore. I am sitting in my hotel suite waiting for the next couple of weeks of my life to unfold in the outer world. I am currently on the board of a chemical company, advising them on strategy and optimization of their global assets.

I left our Bidadi ashram on May 11, 2008 after a long day, working with several ashramites, to start archiving works of Swamiji so that His endless teachings can be preserved to eternity.

Simultaneously I started developing my thoughts and powerpoint slides on the global supply chain strategy I was going to advise on for the next three weeks. I will be spending time in North America, Europe and Middle East with the company I advise. Also, since I was going to be off for three weeks, there were issues pertaining to creating video content for You Tube clips (several hundred video clips of Swamiji’s talks are culled and posted on Youtube.com for free viewing) and development of strategy for publications to effectively spread Swamiji’s message, to name a few. This day, like every other day, is filled with its challenges of electricity failure, computers crashing etc. But this is where the fun starts. I will discuss more on living all these dimensions in the following chapters.

The mission has grown in leaps and bounds in the last five years. It is incredible to see the transformation in all of us and the millions of people all over the world experiencing spiritual awakening. It is quite amazing to see that the mission that started barely five years ago has rapidly spread to 35 countries with 1,200 centers and several upcoming ashrams. During this short period, Swamiji has spoken thousands of hours delivering breakthrough messages. So many profound truths have been delivered in a manner that each of us can understand, digest and more importantly incorporate in our everyday lives. This kind of growth and explosion into every dimension, from purest advaita to complete devotion, cannot be fathomed by the ordinary logical mind.

It is very simple and starts with a simple decision of saying ‘no’ to the logical frame of mind and taking a plunge into this journey of inner science and transformation. Besides all this, being in the presence of an enlightened being is a true gift; it is a once in a lifetime (actually many lifetimes) opportunity to enter the space of a living enlightened master.

Nithyanandam!
