The Missed Chance🔗

Yogi Ramsuratkumar was an extremely well known enlightened master from the birthplace of Paramahamsa Nithyananda. The young Avatar used to often sit with him in the burial ground, very intimately amongst the smoke of burning bodies while speaking of great Hindu truths. He was also known as “Visiri Swamigal” because of the fan he always carried in his hand. Another thing that characterized him was his beedi.

As a child, Paramahamsa Nithyananda vowed never to have alcohol Ramsuratkumar a doubt emerged from within, "He's a great or smoke. This was the standard his parents brought him up in. enlightened master. Why is he smoking beedi?" Even now, though he is recognized as an Avatar who is beyond the body, he maintains this rule. Even if other gurus partake, he tells Immediately after this thought passed through him, Yogi his disciples, "you should do what the guru says, not what they Ramsuratkumar turned his gaze toward Bhagavan, smiled and do". The one exception that Paramahamsa Nithyananda allows extended the beedi towards him. "Smoke" his body language told is if the guru himself gives. If the guru gives, you should always ten year old Avatar accept it. One day as Paramahamsa Nithyananda sat with a Yogi This action paralyzed Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Yogi Ramsuratkumar’s beedi burned in front of him, a glowing crimson around the brown color of the beedi. The notion was daunting. His whole life he swore he would never do such a thing. His parents conditioned him such the idea of smoking was against his orthodox bringing up.

On top of that Paramahamsa Nithyananda described, “I had a deep respect for him so that reverence is pushing me towards him to take it. I was just frozen. That beedi is slowly moving, moving, burning, burning, burning”

He continues, “When the fire was about to touch his finger he just dropped the beedi and held me with both my ears. And he just held me with both ears and pulled me towards him and blew that smoke on my face.”

The smoke overwhelmed his face, drying the saliva around his eyes and throat. When the smoke cleared, reality shifted around him

The mother of The Avatar was named Ma Nithya Lo- kanayananda by Paramahamsa Nithyananda after his mission started. She is lovingly called Swamiamma.

He said, "I tell you, that moment like a whole movie became mute. Means, I can see everything, vividly but no sound goes inside. I am just like a vast witness. Two and a half days I was in that same samadhi space. After a few hours I am walking, going back to the house. My mother is putting a plate and she’s putting the food. I am seeing everything but no sound. Everything is vivid but no sound. I thought I became deaf but it is not that I become deaf. Inside, no sound. It is such vast peace. After 2, 3 days, I slowly settle down.

At the end of the two and half days, the young Avatar settled down and he began to hear once again. The first thing he did was ask Yogi Ramsuratkumar, "What is it that you want me to learn from this?"

To this, his mentor responded, "If this small blow can make that experience in you then don’t you understand what is going on in this body? I need at least a small rope to tie, what I am, into this body.

This is how Paramahamsa Nithyananda learned what he tells his devotees. We should do what the guru say, not what they do. Yet, this regret remained within him. He said, "I can say at least I would have come out of 2 years of my struggle. Two years struggle could have been sorted out in 2 seconds. I still repent for not picking up the beedi from Ramsuratkumar."
