Einstein's Space-Time Continuum

At the time of Newtonian physics, space was considered as purely three-dimensional, measured in three axes viz X, Y, Z. Time was considered as separate from space, and as a single line that was infinite in both directions.

All this changed when Einstein introduced the theory of special relativity, which showed that time and space are interconnected; that time too is a dimension of specific events that take place not only along the coordinate of space, but at different points of time. This led to the concept of four-dimensional space time continuum. One cannot curve space (space is curved due to gravity) without involving time as well. Thus, time also has a shape.

According to Stephen Hawking, time is pear-shaped. This is because everything including light bends due to gravity. Thus an event taking place very far away would be seen on Earth after millions of years (the time taken by light to reach Earth) and the light would have been bent while traversing billions of galaxies.

To put this simply, in Newtonian terms, imagine a three-dimensional space filled with innumerable dots representing points of time. Thus time, whether past, present or future, would be represented in these innumerable dots within the framework of the three-dimensional space. Mathematically, this may not be entirely accurate, as Space itself is curved; however, for explanation purposes, it serves as a good model. Thus, if one were to cover space at the speed of light, time would stand still, and vice-versa.

This allows the Avatar to access the happenings both in time (kala) and space (akasha or desha), as there is no such thing as past, present or future in the physics of Consciousness where He operates. As a power, it manifests as the siddhi of prapti.

The ancient Hindu scripture, the primary Upanishad, Isha Vasya Upanishad, describes the space of pure Consciousness as below:

tad-ejati tan-naijati tad dūre tadvantike |
tad-antarasya sarvasya tadu sarvasyāsya bāhyataḥ || 5 ||

That moves and That moves not. That is far off, That is also near. That is the inner space of all this, and That is also the outer space of all this.

The ancient Vedic seers or Rishis were adept in the concepts of space-time.

In the Vedic tradition, 'KALABHAIRAVA' has been denoted as the Lord of Space and Time, or the energy that controls space and time.

The word 'kala' stands for time, and the word 'bhairava' is derived from:

‣ Bha - denoting 'Bharana' or maintenance of the world

‣ Ra - denoting 'Ravana' or withdrawing of the world

‣ Va - denoting 'Vamana' or projection of the world Thus, Kalabhairava is one who brings about the srishti, sthiti and samhara (creation, maintenance and destruction) of the Universe.

Akasha – the Energy of Space

‘Akasha’ is a Sanskrit word denoting the fifth and most subtle of the natural elements known to us – ether or space.

Most people are familiar with the first four natural elements: air, fire, earth and water. The fifth element, variously referred to as space, ether or spirit, is in reality, the parent element from which the others spring, and into which they all ultimately dissolve. Akasha is described in the Vedic scriptures as the Cosmic Ocean of energy, containing all possibilities.

It is not a coincidence that one of definitions of Akasha is ‘spirit’ or Consciousness. Ancient mystics understood that space is nothing but Consciousness, and every molecule in the universe carries the possibility for Consciousness.

Modern science echoes the voice of the Vedas

The post-Einsteinian explosion in modern science has opened new vistas in the understanding of energy, the interchangeability of matter and energy, and the concept of Consciousness as the substratum of the universe.

The ancient Vedas, which give a precise description of the origin of our Universe, state that in the very beginning, the universe was just a gaseous mix. Following this, there was a period of torrential rains which resulted in the cooling and formation of Earth, followed by the evolution of various forms of plant and animal life, and finally the human being.

ākāśādvāyuḥ vāyorāgniḥ agner āpaḥ adbyaḥ pṛithivī I
pṛithivyā ouṣadhayaḥ ouṣhadhīyo-annam annāt puruṣaḥ II
~ Taittrīyopaniṣad, Brahmānanda Valli

From Ether emerged Air, from Air appeared Fire, from Fire came Water, from Water came Earth. From Earth came vegetation, from vegetation came food, and from food came the human being.

Sun shining above clouds

of ceaseless creation and dissolution."

Dr. Laszlo observes that this perspective is new to Western thinking, which holds that the ultimate nature of reality is material. However, he acknowledges that modern Western science has stumbled upon this truth in its own way: "What the new physics describes as the unified vacuum - the seat of all the fields and forces of the physical world - is in fact the most fundamentally real element of the universe."

In this quantum vacuum, which the Vedic tradition calls Brahman, you can see the analogy of the Cosmic Ocean. Every quark, every particle of energy, leaves an imprint of its being-to-becoming, as well as the reverse journey.

The Whole that emerges from the Whole

The Upanishads are the most ancient sacred scriptures in the history of the world, revealed by Lord Shiva, the Cosmic Consciousness, to the seers of the Vedic tradition, at a time when human civilization was still in its infancy in most other parts of the world. They are the very voice of the Cosmos, the breath of Mahadeva, grasped intuitively by the seers during altered states of consciousness.

The Upanishads are the distilled essence of the Vedas, containing the most sublime yet intimate revelations about the highest Truth and nature of the Self, the Universe and the Divine.

The Isha Upanishad opens with an invocation that reveals the depth of Vedic wisdom:

auṁ pūrṇamadaḥ pūrṇamidaṁ pūrṇāt pūrṇamudacyate I
pūrṇasya pūrṇamādāya pūrṇamevāvaśiṣyate II

The Science behind Akashic Readings

We have already explained the scientific concept of the Space-Time continuum. As Time exists simultaneously as a dimension of Space, all energy or information (energy is nothing but subjective information) is waiting to be decoded depending on the parameters and objects used. To explain this with a simple analogy – electricity is coded energy and is decoded in an object called a light bulb, and thus manifests as the light.

At a classical level, all information is stored in bits (in computer language as a binary of 0 and 1), which is then decoded by the software of the computer.

As mentioned earlier, at the quantum level, information is stored as qubits. These qubits of information are present across the entire fabric of the Cosmos, and represent the entire information held within the Cosmos in time and space.

Interestingly, at the quantum level, the binary system exists as 0 and 1 separately, but happens simultaneously and concurrently, such that both 0 and 1 exist at the same time.

Information regarding past, present or future of a quantum nature is available, waiting to be decoded, but at the present moment, there exists no technology (in science), which can work as a true quantum computer and has the software to understand all the information and underlying principles of the Cosmos.

Biologically, the human brain has been likened to the equivalent of a quantum computer.

An Avatar in the form of a being like Paramahamsa Nithyananda is able to access the qubits of information stored across the Cosmos as Akashic Readings, as He Himself is both the software and the hardware, the subject and the object of the quantum universe.

Each Individual's DNA holds his personal Akashic Records

The Garuda Purana describes the avatars (embodied forms) assumed by the immortal formless Lord during the various cycles of time. The Avatars evolve and expand from fish (matsya) to amphibian (kurma) to animal (varaha) to half-man-half-animal (narasimha) to the pygmy man (vamana) to the tool-wielding civilized man (Parashurama) to the highly evolved and dharmic being (Sri Rama) to the purnavatar (Sri Krishna). After the advent of Sri Krishna begins the age of man as a seeker, an enlightened being and a world teacher (Buddha). The last Avatar (Kalki) is said to arrive at the end of Kali Yuga to destroy the collective negativity and establish Satya Yuga on our planet (the age of Living Enlightenment).

yathaa dasarathi-raamah krsno buddho'tha kalkyapi
tathaa vyakto'vyaktarupi aaseedaadir-gadaadharah II 11 II
(Garuda Purana, 1.86.10-11)

Paramahamsa Nithyananda says:

The Vedic scientists discovered thousands of years ago that the fish is the first individual body that has the capacity to collect and transmit samskaras or engraved memories and behavioral patterns through the DNA. Of course, even before the fish body, you can collect samskaras, but they are not transmittable. Please understand, as a fish, any engram you collect is transmittable. Before that, it is so subtle, so negligible, that it cannot be transmitted.

That is why, in the Vedic tradition, we call the first incarnation as matsyavatar. From there the avataras, the incarnations, expand and grow.

Whatever engrams you collected when you had the fish body will be passed to the next body and further bodies that you assume. From the fish body till now, whatever

Paramahamsa Nithyananda as Matsyavatara

you collected is called your microcosmic bio-memory. It is only this part that scientists are able to analyze and understand as 'known DNA'.

Understand: your body is the ultimate matter which can happen in the frequency of planet earth. The ultimate machinery which is possible to happen in this planet's frequency, has happened to you. Celebrate its existence.

You assume almost all kinds of bodies in so many births before you take a human body. So all the memories, experiences, possibilities, of all the bodies put together happens in the human body. ALL possibilities, all memories, all experiences, are available in your body.

Many times you have lived the life of fish or bird. So if a fish can swim, you can also swim! If a bird can fly, you can also fly. You may think, then why I am not able to fly? Because you chose some other memory more strongly and dropped this flying memory too deep. You just need to awaken it; that's all! Nothing else is needed but awakening it. If the awakening can happen, simply human beings can learn flying.

These powers are not something unique to a few people; it is a birthright for everybody. I am not interested in feeding fantasies to you. I am giving you the vision. It is possible! It is possible. All possibilities are there in your body.

Scientists refer to our inactive genetic material as 'junk DNA' because it has no obvious function, but open-minded investigation has proven that biology does not furnish any 'junk' tissue in nature. All organs and substances have a purpose, although they may be hidden from us at the moment. Paramahamsa Nithyananda reveals that, far from being 'junk' tissue, it is this 'Divine DNA' that holds the key to the mystical powers we all possess, but have forgotten how to use.

Paramahamsa Nithyananda says:

Science says that the human species has evolved with a two-stranded DNA which is found in every cell, which determines the form as well as the potential diseases and skills we can have. Scientists are very clear that what we think is not our original blueprint, because we are able to study only one part of the DNA till now. The other, unrevealed part, which scientists have not been able to study, or logically understand its function, they have labeled as 'junk DNA' or 'shadow DNA'.

Scientists are absolutely right when they say there are two parts in the DNA, and one part, which they are able to study, is responsible for the form and diseases. The other part is what is responsible for our spiritual gifts. I tell you: the other part is what carries all the siddhis and superhuman powers.

I can say, the part which is already discovered is junk DNA! The part which is not yet discovered, or maybe I can use the word 'yet to be realized' - it is this part that contains information about who you really are on a level of spiritual beingness. It is that part to which I give the name 'jeevatma' - the individual consciousness or 'individual self DNA'. It is that part which carries our divine personality.

Science of Gotras

The science of gotras was used by the Vedic Rishis (perfected sages) to transmit coded information across generations, in order to make available specific knowledge that was put into these genes for decoding at an appropriate time in the future.

Paramahamsa Nithyananda says:

Researchers say that with the inter-dimensional 12-strand DNA activation, you can have access to ten times the information that is available from your DNA! That is what I mean when I say that you can download anything from the Hiranyagarbha. It is nothing but the cosmic archives.

We carry our lineage from other planets and other areas of the universe in our DNA. The imprint of our earthly ancestral lineage is also held within our DNA. This is what we call the gotra in our Vedic tradition.

Each of you belongs to the gotra of one of the rishis. The gotra is the code which contains components of that rishi's space in you. If you belong to 'Bharadwaja' gotra, it means that the energy and experience which the rishi Bharadwaja had is there in you also. If you take up the mantras and practices which Bharadwaja practiced, you can immediately decode your DNA and access the Akashic Records. Gotra is the password available to you to access the huge Akashic Records.

Akashic Readings - the way out of karma

The science of genetics has advanced to the level that you can study the structural code of your gene i.e. the DNA code material by completely sequencing the genome. However, while we know what genes are present, science has yet to decode all the genes present in the human being. Those genes which science has not assigned a specific purpose are simply labeled as non-functional or 'junk' DNA.

But the entire gene sequence of the human body itself is not unchangeable. It is in fact dynamic, and possesses its own intelligence, which is why less than 30,000 genes (of which only 10,000 are functional at any given time) can perform all the functions and create all the structures of a complex entity like a human being, who is made up of 50 trillion cells.

Paramahamsa Nithyananda says:

As I said, all the information you collected from all of your births is in your DNA. You can access some of this information just to understand your own past actions, and not to waste time doing the same actions again and again, thinking you will have some joy or benefits at the end of this action. If you have done a certain action and you did not receive the joy which you wanted, but if you forget that, you will be trying it again and again in various ways. But if you remember that you did not have the joy you expected, you will not try it again. You will not waste your time on it again. In that way, accessing the Akashic Records by reading the DNA code will be useful for you to become enlightened.

I saw Swamiji's body expanding before my eyes

Location: Nithyananda Peetham, Bengaluru Aadheenam

During the Himalayas yatra led by Swamiji, many of us saw a rare and miraculous sight. As we climbed higher, Swamiji’s body began to expand, and He started walking very slowly and stepping carefully, as if He was walking inside a balloon. It was something like the videos I had seen of astronauts walking on the moon.

I believe that at that altitude, the samadhi state and physical expansion become so deep that the anti-gravity forces started taking over... He appeared huge to my eyes, and it would have been scary, except for the undeniable evidence and understanding that He was in a state of obvious bliss and peace.

I saw Swamiji as nearly 8 feet tall

When Swamiji gave Kalabhairava darshan in the Bidadi ashram, we were watching it on 2-way video conferencing from St. Louis in the USA.

During the darshan, I saw Kalabhairava as close to 8’ tall, and maybe more than 300 lbs!

When He just moved his hand, the Kundalini energy was so intense that I started levitating. This my personal experience.

I experienced Kalabhairava’s huge form expressing through Swamiji

While doing the Nithya Dhyan meditation, I saw Swamiji in a huge form.

I had the same experience of seeing Swamiji in a huge size during the Shivoham process. Whenever I touch the sacred banyan tree at the Bangalore ashram, I see a vision of it in a huge size and golden color. Thank you very much Swamijii for giving me these experiences and this divine life!

Kalabhairava: Energy of Space and Time

Kalabhairava is revered in Hinduism as the personification of the energy of Space and Time.

He is known as 'the dark one', because he not only represents the 4% of visible matter of the Cosmos (which is seen because of light), but also the remaining 96% of dark matter and dark energy (unseen even with light) (see page 105).

Paramahamsa Nithyananda says:

If you look at the Kalabhairava deity in our ashram, you will see that He is standing on the Time shaft - the Dharma chakra or wheel of Time. This is to express that he is the Lord of Time, and also the one who is beyond Time! His left leg faces forward, and His right leg steps backward. The right leg represents the future. The left leg represents the past. So He is saying, 'Past comes before future!'

When you start connecting with Kalabhairava and start worshipping the divine energy called Kalabhairava, He removes your ego and makes you enlightened.

I won the Lotto just as Kalabhairava predicted!

At a time when I did not know what to do with my life, Swami Nithyananda took the time to help me in many ways. Swamiji looked at my horoscope and told me I will always have lots of money. I wondered how this would be, since I wasn't working and did not have much money.

In August 2013, when my mother and I did the 10-day Inner Awakening program, I asked Swamiji if I can ask Kalabhairava about the Koteeshwara Yogam (millionaire possibility) in my horoscope. Swamiji told me to ask Kalabhairava. With so much compassion Swamiji brought Kalabhairava to us, and I asked Kalabhairava the question, and this was His reply.

As predicted by Kalabhairava, within two years my family won the Lotto lottery (where the chances of winning are 1 in 14 million)!

Deeper Truths of Akashic Readings

Revelations from the Avatar

(Paramahamsa Nithyananda speaks to participants just before a ‘Kalabhairava darshan’ during the Inner Awakening program in Varanasi, India in 2015)

Q. Dear Swamiji, how do You actually access the information of past and future from the Cosmic Archives? Does it appear in a written form?

Even past-present-future is only one more knowledge which is there in the hiranyagarbha (the Cosmic information archive) – it is only a perception. It can be accessed.

The downloading happens through something like a strong gold color umbilical cord – one end of it is in my ananda gandha chakra, and the other end in open space with no end – the hiranyagarbha.

When the information first lands, it will be as a sound; then it becomes language, then it becomes Sanskrit, then English, and then it enters the body. By the time I vomit it out, it will be my customized version!

This is the mystical science behind Akashic Readings.

Q. Swamiji, how does Kalabhairava's energy express through You?

When Kalabhairava lands (on this body), I don't feel that somebody else has entered into me, but I feel as if ten thousand Nithyanandas have entered into me! The same me, but ten thousand-fold. The whole body language, verbal language, the way He laughs, looks, everything – I can see it is different! But I don't feel there is somebody else operating through me at that time. I just feel that I myself have become manifold. Other than that, everything – the body language, the verbal language, the way He looks, the way He talks, the words He utters – everything is completely different! Even I don't know what He is going to do.

Q. Swamiji, kindly excuse my asking, but how is it that Kalabhairava sometimes speaks to us in English?

Swamiji smiling in black Kalabhairava headdress and traditional attire

When He lands, Kalabhairava uses the software, the language, that this brain already has. But even then, the word structure is completely unknown to me, as many of you may have noticed. The data normally available to me, with which I am relating to you all right now, is kept under lock and key.

And same way, even the ethics! You have to be very careful when you ask a question to Him. He will tell everything! If you ask about an incident in your life, He will tell everything related to the incident. Everything! He will not be socially correct. My way of living, my way of responding, everything goes! He just brushes them aside. All this goes! And what He does, He does!

But just as He tells the truth, He also gives the solution you need. I tell you, all His solutions are successful. I can vouch for the Truth of His words. This (Varanasi) is Kalabhairava's home. Let us have His darshan in His home. Seeing the lion in His cave... let us see what He does!

(after darshan)

Q.Darshan was magnificent, electrifying and uplifting! Thank you Swamiji!

When Kalabhairava lands, I can see the amount of joy He brings – not only in me, but in the whole breathing space, the whole hall. It is... unexplainable, inexplicable. It is what it is!

Of course, you have to thank only Kalabhairava for everything. I am only the instrument He is using.

I discovered my link with my father though

an Akashic Reading

Ma Nithya Atma

Spiritual name: Ma Nithya Atma Location: USA

As a child, I was strongly attached to my dad, and as long as he was around I would feel safe and more comfortable with life. Around the age of 50 his life took a radical spiritual turn and he became a healer.

One morning when he was alone in his office, he began experiencing a heart attack. He later shared with me that he met the attack fearlessly, and survived through prayer alone. Recently, during an Akashic Reading, I asked Kalabhairava about his interest in India. Kalabhairava said that in a past life, he was a student of Totapuri, Sri Ramakrishna’s teacher. I had to research this after receiving this information, and the connections make perfect sense. This explains so much my deep connection to him!

During an Akashic Readings session in Kodaikanal, the children of Nithyananda Gurukul℠ got an opportunity to ask their questions to Kalabhairava. I asked Kalabhairava, 'I heard that footprints appeared on the Dalai Lama’s skull, showing the directions to the next Dalai Lama... what is the science and the reason behind this?’

Kalabhairava replied, ‘All enlightened beings and incarnations leave their body in this way only. Shave your head, I will show you my footprints!’ When I shaved my head, I found that indeed there was a clear mark of footprints on the crown of my head!’ There was no way anyone could have seen that other than Kalabhairava himself!

Swamiji predicted my friend’s marriage

four years in advance

Location: Coimbatore, India

I would like to share a friend’s experience that happened at Kalabhairava darshan. She is also Swamiji’s devotee and was in love with a guy, but was not able to marry him due to severe opposition from her family.

She had Kalabhairava darshan in 2011 and asked Swamiji about when she would get married. Swamiji replied that she will get married in December 2015, to the same person who she is in love with now.

Four years later, she got married to the same guy in December 2015, just as Swamiji predicted. There were a lot of struggles with her family, but they both finally overcame all struggles and got married as per His blessings.

Kalabhairava healed me of my secret problem

Ma Ananda Priya Nayaki

Spiritual name: Ma Ananda Priya Nayaki

Location: Austin, Texas, USA

I attended Inner Awakening in December 2012. During the Kalabhairava Darshan and Akashic Readings, Kalabhairava told me: ‘The disease you think you have - which you don’t have - will be gone from today.’ I was amazed, as I had told almost no one of a certain problem I had. There was no way He could know that - except that He knows everything!

God is omniscient and this was demonstrated to me that day.

He healed me of one aspect of that disorder, and I am forever grateful.

Paramahamsa Nithyananda offering arati to deities

As mentioned earlier, the renowned Vedic text, the Taittiriya Upanishad, symbolically describes the descent of the Divine into the world of form.

The concept of 'many gods' unique to the Vedic tradition stems from this view that everything in the world, including oneself, can be a worthy vessel for the Divine energy. To commune directly with this energy is not easy for the average human mind, but to connect with it through a beloved form is a joy for the devotee. When the Hindu worships his ishtadevata (chosen deity), he is hardly worshipping the idol itself. Instead, he is in direct communion with the Divine energy expressing through that idol - a subtle truth that many miss who condemn the worship of idols in the Vedic tradition.

The 330 million deities that make up the Hindu pantheon of gods symbolize this very idea: that the Divine lies hidden in everything, everywhere - awaiting only the touch of awakening. This process of awakening is known in Sanskrit as 'prana pratishtha', literally meaning, the establishing of life-breath.

A qualified Hindu priest may perform 'agama pratishtha' or 'mantra pratishtha', invoking the deity's energy through sacred chants and proper ceremonies, and inviting it to enter into the idol. But significantly, only an Avatar or an enlightened being is authorized to perform prana pratishtha, which is the direct infusion and permanent establishing of life-force in matter.

When an Avatar performs prana pratishtha on an idol, He not only brings it to life, but transmits to it His own enlightened state of being. Such an idol, now rightly called an archavatar or living

Paramahamsa Nithyananda performs the sacred ritual of prana pratishtha to the larger-than-life granite deity of Sri Nithyananda Venkateshwara at Sri Nithyanandeshwara Devasthanam, Bengaluru Aadheenam, India

Process of Prana Pratishtha

Installation of the Cosmic energy or prana pratishtha is done by bringing this energy down through the five elementary energies of Nature or Pañca Mahabhuta.

The energy is first brought into the Space element (akasha) through meditation (visualization), into the Air element (vayu) through mantras (chanting), down to the Fire element (agni) through homas (fire offerings), down to the Water element (apas) in the kalasha (water pot), and finally to the Murti, the Earth element (prithivi).

The Avatar can choose the manifestation of the energy that He wishes to install in a particular deity. He can choose to empower the deity with wealth energy, health energy, completion energy, karma-exhausting energy, or any other type of energy. Since time immemorial, Avatars and enlightened masters have installed various aspects of the divine energy in various deities to fulfil the needs and desires of humanity.

There are various reasons for choosing the material of the deity as well. Materials like granite can hold and radiate the energy for thousands of years. On the other hand, deities made of a combination of five sacred metals or panchaloha can hold and radiate much more energy than granite, but they can hold the energy only for a few hundred years.

The precise structure of the temple and the geometrically harmonious form of the deity also help in the process of entanglement, along with the subsequent pujas (offering of gratitude) and the kriya pada, sacred rituals, which are techniques given by Avatars as per the agamas to tune our internal energies to those of Existence.

Swamiji performing puja

Wish-fulfillment through deities

The energies of an ordinary human being get exhausted whenever they are repeatedly expressed. For example, grief or joy exhausts when expressed through tears; the pitta (fire element) of the body exhausts itself through anger; the lust energy exhausts itself through sexual act, the power of speech exhausts itself in his very saliva the moment words are uttered. All these energies of expression become exhausted as soon as one uses them.

An Avatar’s energy of expression cannot be exhausted through any of these means (or any means), because He is the inexhaustible Source of energy in human form. That is why He is the ultimate human form fit to perform prana pratishtha.

Once a deity has been ‘awakened’ through the process of prana pratishtha, it becomes a concentrated energy. Whatever action we perform in this space is very intense, due to the presence of this concentrated energy.

Whenever a person creates a thought or sankalpa (conscious resolution) in the presence of a concentrated energy, that thought is projected onto the world as Reality. This process can be compared placing a film strip in front of a projector light. When projected onto the screen, it appears as reality before our eyes. This is why we say that whatever we wish for in front of a deity comes true.

Only a being who can function without the help of His body is capable of creating a true sanctum, one that will bless, heal and manifest miracles in exactly the way He does. Because Avatars do not need a body to execute their work, they can continue to do the things they do, even after they leave their physical body. The sanctum and deities created and energized by them radiate inexhaustible energy, and nurture everybody who seeks it.

Conclusion

In a world diseased with doubt and challenged by the epidemic of spiritual impoverishment, in a world struggling to escape the confines of ordinary human existence through addiction, illusion and death, mystic phenomena like these serve to remind us that whether we accept it or not, believe it or not, know it or not, we inhabit a planet showered with Grace, where humanity can aspire to touch divinity ,and where everything that exists - as the Isha Vasya Upanishad tells us - are indeed the thousand forms of the one all-embracing Consciousness.

I have become receptive to the energy from deities

Vilangadu Dasarathi

Name: Vilangadu Dasarathi

Location: San Jose, USA

I have been with Swamiji since March 2008.

I perform the daily puja at the Nithyananda Vedic Temple in San Jose, CA.

I am so grateful that Swamiji has healed my body-mind system to be receptive, so that I can experience the cosmic energy flow from the living deities.

Recently I noticed how when I touch the deities of Ganesha, Devi Meenakshi and Swamiji's padukas, such an intense flow of energy happens, which is so healing. I noticed that the energy from each deity is different, and sucks away all the incompletions, leaving me so light!

I am so happy to receive this gift from Swamiji.

Swamiji materialized offerings for my home deities

Abirami Paramanathan

Name: Abirami Paramanathan

Location: Toronto, Canada

I live in Canada. In my home, we have two deities of Shiva and Devi (Nithyanandeshwara and Nithyanandeshwari) which have been energized by Swami Nithyananda.

In 2011, when Swamiji first started teleporting prasad (sacred offerings) from the Bidadi ashram in India to all his energized deities around the world, my deities also instantaneously received kumkum (holy vermilion), and the Shiva deity received vibhooti (holy ash) also. It was really a stunning and unforgettable experience to receive Swamiji's prasad, which had travelled thousands of kilometers in a few seconds and materialized on our deities!

On 7th May 2011, during the morning satsang, Swamiji blessed all His temples and satsang centers to receive Meenakshi's and Sundareshwara's prasad of chandan (sandal paste).

During the meditation, I felt intense energy on my eyes.

After the meditation, my mother noticed something yellow on my eyelids. When I went to the mirror, I saw that chandan had appeared on my eyelids!

We do not use chandan in our home, so I was really shocked, and when we tested it, we found that the chandan was real and fragrant.

I thank Swamiji for giving us these experiences, which are beyond my comprehension and capabilities.

Thank you Swamiji.
