Glimpses of Avatar Leela - Autobiography of The Avatar Volume 1🔗

“I am the totality of billions of people’s aspiration for the higher and the ultimate superconscious breakthrough”

should first introduce the software of the universe: The knowledge of the state, space and powers of Sadashiva, the pure Consciousness makes up the very software of the universe. Within the software itself, a system is put in place which is triggered whenever there is a problem and sends automatic costumer call. The problem could be in the form of virus or the loss of the software in almost all systems. When the customer call goes, the updated software is downloaded and the person responsible comes down. He, Himself, establishes the new software and makes it work again. This whole thing is what I call Sanatana Hindu Dharma.

I am...I am the totality of billions of people's aspiration for the higher and the ultimate superconscious breakthrough which is really needed for this age because of the large number of calls that customer care has receiveds not only about the viruses in the software but about the the original software almost getting lost and being in extreme danger. My happening is the answer for this whole problem.

I know for sure now the introduction will look too big, but once I deliver what I brought and people start using it, living it and enjoying, you will understand this is a very fair introduction- even too small.

Avatara Leela, The Autobiography of The Avatar, is a five-volume series on the life story of The Avatar, Paramahamsa Nithyananda. This book is a glimpse of the first volume to have a taste of the greatest happening on Planet Earth.

Before you begin this incredible journey, please note that all the text that appears in straight font is The Avatar’s own words. All text that appears in italics is narration written by the blessed compilers of this purana.

Srimad Bhagavatam (10.31.9)

That is which is sweet to hear, That which when heard, immediately raises one to the high conscious state, That which takes us to another level, just by remembering it That which gives deep pleasure not only to the listener, but also to the person who narrates it, O Lord, may I narrate Your story!

DWAJAROHANAM DAY Gracing the Bengaluru Adheenam for Avatar Dinabrahmotsavam on January 1, 2018

Mahasadashiva the Ever-Auspicious, Eternal, Immutable, Beginningless, Endless. I create these infinite Manifest and Unmanifest Universes again and again, through the power of My third eye. I am the Hub of the great wheel on which millions upon millions of galaxies spin.

As Advaita, Oneness, I am the spindle and the fulcrum of All that Exists. As Adishakti, the Primal Power, I am ananta koti brahmahanda yoni, the womb and the Lord of numberless worlds. As Ishwara, the Infinite Lord and Doer, I create, sustain, destroy, delude and liberate through My grace. As the ten incarnations of Vishnu, I grace this loka again and again, to preserve and to destroy.

TIRUVANNAMALAI TEMPLE TOWN South India Aerial view of the land on which I descended

The story of The Avatar is the story of the Cosmos itself - the grand Descent of Consciousness into form. Pure Consciousness pervades everything. The great rishis of Hindu tradition reveal that both the manifested and the unmanifested universe are pure Consciousness, and matter is simply projected Consciousness. The subtlest field of Consciousness of the cosmos, which is in a constant state of emergence (spanda) is called Sadashiva. The instantaneous manifestation as matter, is Adishakti - the subtle creative pulse vibration of the Universe as it manifests into the dynamism of living form. Every moment - even as you are reading this - the cosmos is emerging from pure Consciousness into the manifold manifestation of matter, and dissolving back into its Source, in the enchanting, eternal and most intimate dance of Sadashiva (Pure Consciousness) and Adishakti (Pure Manifestation). Among the countless manifestations of Consciousness, the most sacred is The Avatar, for He embodies the purest Consciousness, uncorrupted and incorruptible by its descent into the world of form.

SADASHIVA DARSHAN During the Mahasadashivoham program on 22 December 2017

Time (Kaala) is divided into four ages, or yugas, that make up a cycle. The Avatar descends in the time of the most dire need - the Kali Yuga (Age of Kali). Kali is the age of great delusion, where our experience of life is most distant from reality. Sadashiva says reality is eternal bliss and complete fulfillment in every moment. Meanwhile, what we feel inside is distinctly opposite. This duality, between reality and experience, between what you believe and what reality is, is what our rishis signify as the beginning of "Kali", the mark of Kali.

The accumulation of this delusion has reached the point where if humanity does not fix itself now, it will end up in its own collapse. This is the reason for the descent of the Avatar.

MISTREATMENT OF ANIMALS In farms all over the world that are focused on producing for the mass, the treatment of the animals is horrific. In this picture, you see a overcrowded farm in the United States where the cows don't have room to roam as they want.

SUICIDE OF YOUTH The twenty-first has witnessed the most number of youth suicides than any other century in the last two thousand years. The growing number of suicides is also at an alarming growing rate, showing the desperate state of humanity for a permanent solution.

WAR ON ALL FRONTS With two World Wars and numerous brazen attacks from the level of one person to another to the level of countries against one another, the violence of humanity has peaked and showing no signs of relief.

The tremendous experience of pain that life in all forms is undergoing across all nations, religions, castes, classes and genders has increased drastically over the past two thousand years. Not only humans, but animals, plants and the very land that we walk on has been affected by the misguided decisions of people in power, and the silence of others. We have seen pain in the aggressive form of violence and vengeance, in the manipulative form as greed and exploitation, and in a disguised form as immense boredom and tiredness. In all dimensions of life, the reality of pain unites us all more than anything else. Though we may disagree about whom we pray to, what we eat or how we go about earning our livelihood, when it comes to the suffering we have seen, heard of and been through, there is no denying that it is a universal experience.

When we face the facts, we are a trembling force of life, foolishly overwhelmed by the grandeur of the universe, and at the same time wanting to conquer it. What we lack is a valid, working solution. Having acknowledged that, the question now is, 'Where do we go from here?'

Most often, where we look for the solution is itself the source of the problem! We seek solutions in the institutions that we ourselves have created. The government, health institutions, and research and development universities have all shown that what they offer as a solution, if anything, is only a temporary bandage over what is a gaping wound. Solutions nowadays even create other problems, like pain medication that comes with its own set of possibly even fatal side effects. We have seen enough of these so-called solutions. It is time for the real, permanent and pervasive solution that fixes what we have created for ourselves, once and for all.

SADASHIVA DARSHAN I arrived just in time to give the conscious breakthrough to humanity. 1979 would have been too late.

I am also hearing My story as I narrate it! Our people have been hearing the life stories of incarnations from time immemorial. In our country, reading and hearing the life stories of incarnations is a very great spiritual practice. But today, I Myself am going to stand away from Me and tell this story! Not only for all of you, even for Me it is so blissful, because I am also going to hear! I am also going to sit and hear!

Why should you hear an Incarnation's life story We have been listening to the life stories of many incarnations. That is a great spiritual practice in our country. Ramayana is the life story of an incarnation Rama. Mahabharata is the life story of an incarnation Krishna.

We might think, "Why to hear? He was born, He lived, what are we going to do listening to that?" Understand deeply: There are two types (of stories) in life. First is: Once you come, live and you are done, writing that...what is called your history Second one is: writing a script, bringing it and executing it – screenplay! Incarnation's life story is screenplay. They bring it and execute it.

Another important reason why we need to listen to the life story of The Avatar is... If you understand why the incarnation came... if you hear about the incarnation's life, you will understand what is good for you.

The five jobs of Sadashiva Sadashiva has five cosmic jobs: creation, sustenance, rejuvenation, putting into maya (illusion), and giving enlightenment. If you see Nataraja (the form of Sadashiva performing the great Cosmic Dance), you will understand this. In the right hand there is the damaru (small two- headed drum) – sound. It is through sound that the world itself is created. So that represents creation. In the other hand, there is fire – destruction. The third hand is protection – sustenance. He will be stamping an asura (demon who symbolises human ego) beneath his feet. That signifies putting souls into maya. He has raised his other leg in dance. If you hold onto that leg, he will give you enlightenment! He is doing all the five jobs and dancing! That is why they say, 'aariyakoothadinaalum, kaariyathil kanna irukkaaru!' Even if he is dancing he is focused on the job.

Your cooperation is needed for your Enlightenment Out of these five jobs, for creation, sustenance, destruction and putting into imaya, he doesn't need your cooperation. Did they ask you, and only then you were born? No. Had they asked you, you would have decided which place to be born etc right? Your birth is not decided by you. Your involvement is not there in that. In the same way, protection does not have your involvement. Destruction does not have your involvement. Putting into maya also does not have your involvement. But to give enlightenment, you also need to be involved. You also need to give your cooperation. So for that, the Cosmic energy takes the form of a Guru and expresses. For the first four jobs, there is no need to inspire you. But to give enlightenment, you need to be inspired. So the formless Existence takes the human form.

There are two things: purana and history. Both are different. In Western countries, what they write is history. In Eastern countries, the history that we write is called purana! There is a big difference between the two. History means, that which happens in the two dimensions of length and breadth. For example, 'He was born at this time this morning. He did this at this particular time this evening. He did this at this time at night.' It is two-dimensional; meaning, what you see in everyday life. This is called history.

Purana is the recording of multiple-dimensions. Every happening has an impact on all eleven dimensions of the universe. Whoever can see the impact of every happening on all eleven dimensions and records it is Vyasa, and what he records is purana. Vyasa is not the name of some individual. It is a title. The Vyasa who compiled the eighteen puranas and four vedas is called Badanarayana. Understand: his name is Badanarayna; his title is Vyasa.

My happening cannot be recorded a person with convoluted space. It can neither be recorded by the media nor just by the facts. It has to be recorded from all the eleven dimensions. Because what is happening in all the eleven dimensions needs to be compiled, I decided 'Better let me do it directly!'

Truth is life. Fact is history. Whatever you experience, if you convert to words, it is history. If you experience it within you, it will be life! Any extraordinary experience, if you convert it to words, it will be flat, like history. Without converting it to history, if you keep it inside you, it will remain as experience. If you convert it to words, it will not be an experience anymore. If it is history, it will not become purana. If it is a purana, it will not be history.

All that was written in Western countries is history. All that was written in Eastern countries is purana! If it is told as purana, all the facts will be hit. You cannot do that. If you tell as history, the Truth will get hit. Then, listening to it is of no use!

For the first time, Western countries' facts, and the Eastern countries' purana (which conveys the impact it has on people) are being combined and told. Combining life and history, I am going to narrate as living history!

Intensity is the essence of My life If you read this deeply, the essence of this life story will enter you. Whichever incarnation's life story you read or listen to deeply, that incarnation's story's essence will flower in you. Essence of My life story is INTENSITY. Whatever is done will be intense. That is the essence. The side effect of this essence is bliss etc. All incarnations will have all attributes, but there will be a main character in each one of them. In My life, whatever I do, there will be intensity and completeness in it. So If you listen to My life story, that intensity or completeness will catch you.

As long as you think you are the body, that intensity will not happen. As long as you think you are the mind, that intensity will not happen. Only when you realise you the soul, that intensity will happen. That intensity is the essence of My life.

Understand this: My life is not an individual's history. The science of crores of Vedic Dharma's incarnations and rishis has been realized one again in Me. The Enlightenment science has been realized once again. So, if you understand My biography, you will understand that enlightenment science. You cannot understand a scientist's biography without understanding that science. You cannot understand an enlightened being's biography without having Enlightenment! The reason why I am narrating My biography. long with this, enlightenment will also flower in you. So understand these enlightening truths deeply.

Chapter 2

The universe has been planning for the happening of The Avatar since the beginning of time.

ARUNACHALA HILL Tiruvannamalai

SAGE AGASTYA The Nadi Readings are about the entire history of life in the universe, written originally by the ancient rishis, including the renowned Sage and Siddha Agastya.

The universe has been planning for the happening of The Avatar since the beginning of time. Nadi readings are an astrological phenomenon where through many different means, either through a person or through palm leaf recordings, the past, present and future is revealed to any individual at any time. They are extremely profound sources that expose the depth of Hinduism and the inner achievements of the giants in Hindu history. The nadi readings are originally written by the ancient rishis, including the renowned sage and Siddha Agastya, about the entire history of life in the universe. They were recorded when the rishis had access to the Akashic Records, and wrote down what they saw was happening in the grand scheme of the universe.

This particular nadi reading referring to The Avatar was spontaneously revealed (or revealed through divine intervention) to a disciple who had sought his own nadi reading. It must be mentioned here that this particular disciple was a resident of New Zealand and was a complete stranger to the nadi readers. The original nadi is in Tamil.

To the Ishvara who wears the half-moon in His Jata (matted locks), The Lord who sits as Parvati's consort The Lord whose state is justice For the Nithyananda sangha Me, Agastya

Me, Agastya, the seven Rishis and the eighteen Siddhas Will now reveal the divine prediction for Paramahamsa Nithyananda Nithyananda, who protects the world, at this time, to protect the truth surrounding Him

Truthful Supreme Rishi To help people live the path of righteousness He gives truthful lessons to the world Not even an iota of wrong A life of purity

Jeeva nadi - Nadi reading is an ancient palm leaf reading where the thumb impression of the person seeking his past, present or future leads to picking of a palm leaf from an already available set of palm leaves written by the ancient sages like Agastya. The picked palm leaf is read out to the person. Jeeva Nadi is a special palm leaf reading that does not require the thumb impression of the person seeking the nadi and the text appears spontaneously in response to a person's query.

MY MATERNAL GRANDPARENTS Yellammal and Raju Mudaliar

My maternal grandfather and grandmother prayed for their favorite deities to be born

I had always heard that when my mother was carrying me, every day my grandfather would go to Arunachaleshwara temple and pray that Shiva should be born to him as a grandchild.

But recently my mother told me that my grandmother used to pray every day that Devi Meenakshi should be born to her as a grandchild!

So, here I am!

The timing was ideal for a female child's birth It was the Tamil month of Margazhi (January 1978) on the chitra nakshatra (star). The important aspect of My horoscope is: chitra nakshatra, kanni rasi, kanni lagnam. Those of you who know astrology will know that for this combination, only a girl child can be born. Because it was a body that was beyond male and female, at a time suitable for a girl child, a male body was born!

My mother experienced Enlightenment when I was born One more important thing: when an enlightened soul, enlightened Consciousness, lands on the body, for those three kshanas, three moments, the mother who is giving birth becomes enlightened. She gets the satori experience. This happened with Sri Ramakrishna and Ramana Maharshi's mothers. Even with My own mother, when I saw her energy, I saw very clearly, she had the Enlightenment experience when I took birth.

Swami Amma speaks on the conception and delivery As if in response to His grandparents' prayers, The Avatar Paramahamsa Nithyananda came down with the bio- memory of both Arunachaleshwara and Meenakshi. Their prayers actually reflected the yearning of the entire humanity - itself another sweet leela of the Cosmos! His mother, however, did not pray to any god or goddess to come as her child. In a rare interview, Ma Nithya Lokanayakananda, The Avatar's biological mother and now His initiated sanyasi disciple, lovingly called 'Swami Amma' by His other disciples, remembers the details of her pregnancy... a momentous period in the purana (epic history) of The Avatar!

MY PARENTS Arunachalam and Lokanayaki

Question: Did you plan for the second child, Amma?

MY MATERNAL GRANDFATHER'S HOUSE Kanni Kovil Street (now called Raja Rajan Street), Tiruvannamalai

Question: Can you tell us about your delivery pain and how it started?

Swami Amma: When the pain started, it was a slight pain. The time was evening, around 6.30 p.m. My mother had gone for a condolence visit due to a death in my neighborhood. I neglected my mild pain, and I was cooking rice, making coffee, and distributing to everybody.

When my mother came back, she looked at my face she said, 'Your face was looking fine when I left, but now it looks different.' I said, 'I had mild pain, but I am doing some work.'

In those days, they would not take you to the hospital when you have only a slight pain. They would touch your head to check the heat on the crown of the head, and if you had sweat on your forehead, then they would take you to the hospital! She said, 'Do not do any work', and she went in for her bath. Then we went to the hospital around 9.30 or 10.00 p.m.

Question: Who else went with you to the hospital?

Swami Amma: In those days they would say that the mother should not come to the hospital with the pregnant daughter, so two neighbors came with me. After that my mother, my husband, everybody came immediately. I was in my mother-in-law's house for eight months of my pregnancy, and in the beginning of the ninth month, I came to my mother's house.

Question: Was the delivery smooth?

Swami Amma: Yes, the delivery was smooth. The baby was really big! The nurses and doctors asked me, 'Didn't you eat anything other than Horlicks?' The baby was so big! They said that the baby was so chubby, beautiful, fair, and looked like a baby from a healthy family. I had a normal delivery and I was discharged from the hospital in five days. We came home.

I was in my parents' home for three months. I was doing all the routine work. I never expected anybody else to do my work. I was normal. I would do all the work. My mother used to say that for nine days, I should not do anything, so from the tenth day I started doing work. I would fold clothes, help the children comb their hair, help in cleaning the vegetables, etc. I would help in the cleaning work and my mother would do the kitchen work. Then I went back to my mother-in-law's house on Tiruvoodal street.

Question: How was the naming ceremony?

Swami Amma: On the ninth day, the priest came and did all the rituals. We both decided on the name of the child. My husband was fond of my father and he wanted to name the child after him. I liked the name Shekar. Since my father's name is Raja Mudaliar, we combined both the names and gave the name 'Rajashekar'.

Question: What did the astrologer say?

Swami Amma: My husband's brother showed him the baby's horoscope, and the astrologer told that he will become a Swami (a monk).

GOVERNMENT TIRUVANNAMALAI MEDICAL COLLEGE HOSPITAL The hospital in Tiruvannamalai where I was delivered

Annamalai Venba (Verse 1) by Guru Namasivayar

Mountain that is dancing the primal dance (Shiva tandava) Mountain which the two were seeking (Brahma and Vishnu) Mountain that the moon and serpent are adorning Mountain where cosmic law flourishes Mountain that pulls incarnations and enlightened beings Annamalai!

Arunachala is a spiritual airport and incubator for incarnations.

Understand deeply: this mountain is not an ordinary mountain. If we keep a receiving station, it will receive any type of wave or signal right? Like that, this sacred place is the place that pulls incarnations. It not only pulls incarnations from this place; wherever they might be, it will pull them! It has that power. This mountain is the spiritual incubator created by our ancestors.

When a baby is born prematurely, they place the baby in an incubator. The incubator has the same temperature as the mother's womb. They give the baby food in it. The incubator takes complete care of the baby. Only if that incubator is there, the baby can become healthy. Like that, for an incarnation to descend and settle in the human body, the spiritual incubator is what is Tiruvannamalai. Our ancestors have done this for incarnations to descend and settle in the body. It is like an airport.

In an airport, can the flight directly land and halt? You need a runway, right? In the same way, when the formless Existence descends into a human form, it descends like the Ganga; like a thunderbolt! It has to descend, apply the brakes and settle with the body. Tiruvannamalai is the runway for that. It is the spiritual incubator, spiritual runway, spiritual airport. It is the spiritual airport created for incarnations to descend. Not only that, it is a strong attraction..!

Swami Amma, profoundly innocent as she is, did not know that all the gods and goddesses in Devaloka, including Vishnu and Brahma themselves, were looking upon Earth from the heavenly skies. 1978 marked the end of negativity once and for all. All the accumulated suffering and calamities that had happened since the end of the era of the Krishna Avatara were destined to evaporate. The entire universe rejoiced as Sadashiva descended from Kailasha in all His grandeur, for yet another leela on planet Earth! All the gandharvas, munis, rishis, and even the asuras and dwellers of the netherworlds, were all watching, waiting eagerly for the birth of The Avatar of Sadashiva, who would be called Paramahamsa Nithyananda.

When I talk about My birth and life, I do not know at all how I am going to express Myself. I do not know how IT is going to express Itself..! I too can only bow down to that energy, and along with you all, allow that Energy to work the way It wants to.

I entered into that light in the form of a brilliant meteor

It was neither dark nor light-filled; an indeterminate color covered planet Earth.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared from a region, which I now see as Southern India. At that time I did not know where it was. Borders are what we draw. Where is there border in the Cosmos?

I entered into that light in the form of a brilliant meteor. The very next sight that I perceived with my inner eye was Arunachala, and I knew that I had assumed the body once more. I had entered the womb of My mother. It was a conscious birth.

I took a muhurta, which is a period of about 45 minutes in the Hindu system of time measurement, to settle into the body.

I always felt I took birth, or I took the body, because of the attraction, the pull, that Arunachala hill has for enlightened beings. There is a very beautiful verse in Tamil which refers to Arunachala as the hill which attracts enlightened beings around it. The hill is especially revered for attracting enlightened beings, not only from this planet Earth, but even from other planets. Even from other, different spaces, it can attract and pull the enlightened beings to planet Earth.

I never took the hill for granted. It was an 'ever-living presence'.

People ask me, "What is the difference between God in the Himalayas and God in Arunachala (Tiruvannamalai)?" In the Himalayas, He lives. In Tiruvannamalai, the mountain itself is God! There, it is the house; here, it is the person himself, the very form. There is a difference between the two. "Velli malai veruthathaale thanga malaikku vanthaaraam!" Because he got tired of the silver hill, he came to the golden hill! Himalayas, Kailash, is Velli malai – silver hill; Tiruvannamalai is thanga malai – golden hill!

I will describe exactly what happened.

Understand: if I present one dimension, another dimension stands pending! If I present another dimension, one more dimension becomes pending! I want to present the birth in two or three dimensions, but the moment I present it from one dimension, your understanding is able to receive only that much. Anyhow...!

Listen: usually, when we die, we take the next human body within three kshanas. Kshana is the gap between one thought and the next thought. If you have lived a very calm life, your kshana might be even a hundred years. If you lived a life of restlessness, then one kshana can be just microseconds. In one second, even a thousands of thoughts come and go! That is what happens.

Let me tell you exactly how it happened. When you sleep and get up, as soon as you wake up, you will be able to tell what happened during the night, and what was the first thought that came to you when you woke up, right? Everyone will be able to tell that. Just like how you will be able to tell the first thought that came to you when moving from sleep to waking state, I am able to tell what happened when I moved from the previous death to the present birth. The reason is, I have more awareness, that's all! There is nothing mystical in this. You have enough awareness to tell what happened while moving from sleep to waking state. My awareness is such, I can tell what happened when moving from death to birth.

TIRUVANNAMALAI TEMPLE TOWN

First, there was a vision. It was like I had slept and woken up. This birth is actually like you slept and woke up! First, I could see a world where darkness covered darkness. Then I saw in South India, Arunachala, and the light on top of it. The next thing, the third thing... I took the body! The reflection on planet Earth happened!

Understand deeply: there was no pain or suffering or loss of memory. You all cannot recall the scene of your taking birth. There is no memory there. The moment you enter the mother's womb, the past memories get disconnected. For Me, that does not happen. When you wake up from sleep, are the dreams disconnected, or are the previous day's happenings disconnected? No! In the same way, without loss of memory, and without going to the coma stage, it happens with full awareness.

With that awareness, first let me tell you what exactly happened. After that I will tell you the interpretation, the significance. Understand: I saw three slides. The first slide: a world where darkness covered darkness; I saw the Cosmos. The second slide: Tiruvannamalai mountain and the light; I saw it at 11.45 p.m. At that moment itself, I took the body, but for the delivery to happen, and for My mother to see Me, it took till 12.32 p.m. It has taken one kshana – around 45 minutes. It means that the mind was so peaceful, that one kshana was 45 minutes; it was peaceful without the next thought coming in.

I saw very clearly that in all the three states - waking state, dream or sleep, it was like as if I was in the normal, awake state, and I entered the body just sitting in that state! This is fundamentally My birth. What you need to understand deeply about birth is, if you are without samskaras (engraved memories), if your nadi (energy channels) or kshana is broad, you can be born in a very simple, easy way, with awareness. This is what they call conscious birth.

Next, I saw very clearly, suddenly a light ball, whatever I feel as 'Me', landed into My mother's umbilical cord. When I landed, when that light ball landed, already My body was out of My mother's womb. Maybe I can put it in this way: the umbilical cord had stretched to the extent that the necessity to be in the mother's womb was no more. I do not know whether I was physically out or not; the umbilical cord had become so stiff that the necessity to be in My mother's womb was not there anymore. So I remember very clearly, I landed only on the umbilical cord; then I just saw that I had a body, and immediately I had the vision of Arunachala! That is all that exactly happened.

I don't know exactly when My physical eyes opened, or when I physically happened on the planet Earth... meaning, the physical identification of the exact physical time, chronological time, I am not able to scan... because, as per the medical understanding, when there is no more necessity to be in the mother's womb, the child comes out of the body and the umbilical cord is disconnected. I am saying that I was already out of My mother's womb. But when I scan inside, from the spiritual experience I don't have any verification about whether My body was already out of My mother's womb or not, when I landed. I only felt that the necessity to be in My mother's womb was not there. It was at that moment, that light just hit My mother's umbilical cord and assumed this body.

From that moment, I know this body is there, which happened out of that light, that intense light. If I describe it, maybe I can say it was a light ball or something like that. Whenever I fall asleep, I fall into that only. Whenever I fall into samadhi, I fall into that, that's all. All other superficial things that happen, like jagrat (waking state), swapna (dream state), and sushupti (deep sleep state) are only superficial. That is why all those three do not make any difference in this body.

ARUNACHALA HILL AND TIRUVANNAMALAI TEMPLE TOWER

My mother told Me that My maternal grandfather went to the temple that day and brought back prasad (food offered to the deity in the temple) and gave it to her. She ate that prasad, and in a few hours, the labor pain started. The moment Annamalaiyar's prasad went in, she had the labor pain! They went to the doctor. Without any trouble, the baby was born.

From Amma's side, whatever she says is the fact that happened outside. We will compare the fact and the truth, and see deeply. As per her, it was at night, at around 12.32 a.m. As per My experience, it was 11.45 p.m. It has taken 42 minutes settle in the body and come out. One kshana has taken 42 minutes - almost equal to a muhurta (48 minutes).

Another way is from the mother's side - the fact. If you see from that side, it is at 12.32 a.m. that the delivery has happened (In the year 1978, in the Tamil month of Margazhi, on the star - chitra nakshatra, kanni rasi, kanni lagnam). It was a normal delivery without any pain. Only thing, the baby was really big! Doctors thought it was going to be twins!

My mother said that I was ten pounds in weight. Indian village mothers can never imagine delivering a ten-pound child, because usually Indian village mothers are malnourished - and I was not born in a very rich family, I was born in a middle-class family - and there was no special pregnancy care given to My mother. My mother said she felt as if I was inside for five years! The body was mature, equivalent to a three-year old child - just like Meenakshi, who was never born, but had directly walked out of a sacred fire ritual as a three-year-old girl.

My mother says I never ever cried as well.

The advent of The Avatar is the greatest happening in the universe. Every single being, every single individual consciousness which is in the body while He is in the body is blessed, because each has the possibility of meeting Him. Every single being which is even only able to get a glimpse of Him is even more blessed, because upon death, just the power of that glimpse can push you past all your current suffering to choose the life of seeking in the next birth. Above all, if you are able to interact with The Avatar, live around Him and imbibe Him, you are truly the most blessed being of all on planet Earth, because it is possible that you will finally realize the Ultimate and become enlightened in this very life.

"In many people's biographies, only after the organization forms, the biography is written. There are be many insertions and so on; it develops as it goes. It is written from the angle of the organization. From the angle of what they want to tell, the biography is be rewritten. It is a rethinking process. But Mine cannot be done like that! There are records that I have written at age 10. There are photos taken at age 10. Not only that, there are witnesses who have seen it. I am not narrating it after it has happened; I have written the script already, and I am executing it! So I can tell whatever happened with courage. All the witnesses can also listen to it. Even in My autobiography, when I say I became enlightened, it is only for you to understand. Otherwise, I am very clear: I was like this from birth, from the moment I entered the body. I can see very clearly how I entered the body, and how I started moving the body. The whole thing is written on Me, like on a screen. I can see anything written on the screen. If the screen is alive, it can see anything projected on it. The screen very clearly feels everything.

Even during birth, the whole thing was known to Me. See, at that point, I became the screen; I realized I am a screen on which the whole thing is being projected. So, for you to understand, I say I took birth, I became enlightened, and all that... but I very clearly feel that when I took birth itself, if I had a body which could talk, I would have spoken what I am speaking now very clearly, the same way. So, it is not 'evolved knowledge'; it is avimukta vijnana (knowledge that is never forgotten).

Making advaita the root cognition in every field on planet Earth is My mission, for which I landed in this body, for which I assumed the human body. I will do this mission! This is the purpose of My birth.

When I assumed My body, I was very clearly planning - what is the real knowledge or the essence we need to carry? See, when you go for a trip or tour, you know the purpose, and you pack based on that. If it is trekking, you pack trekking shoes and all those things. If it is spiritual tourism, you pack the things necessary for that. For every kind of tourism, you pack the things which are required. Before landing, I saw very clearly the need of planet Earth that I need to pack: I saw very clearly that it is love and consciousness, nothing else! Planet Earth does not need intelligence to create infrastructure. It needs a little more consciousness and love in the hearts of the decision makers. When I landed, I saw very clearly: now humanity needs only one thing - inner awakening.

You think we don't have wealth. You think we don't have intelligence. No. We just don't have love. It is love, and a sense of responsibility for poverty and suffering on the planet Earth that we lack, not infrastructure.

I tell you: humanity has reached the fulfillment of outer infrastructure before January 1978. Only after that, I landed on the planet. I am not making up any stories or jokes. Humanity has reached whatever is necessary for the outer world fulfillment at least two centuries before My advent or birth.

Now I tell you: I brought enough of power and energy to planet Earth when I landed, to put a safety net for all you people. Understand, it is not out of pride or anything, but I have to tell you: I am an avatara purusha with the tremendous energy to create a net for all of you.

So be very clear, just live this dharma; you will never fall, you will only fly. Even if you fall, My net is there to take care of you. With the authority that I am an incarnation who landed on the planet Earth to give this great science to all of you, I give you all the ultimate security: just relax. I will take care.

I give you all the abhaya - protection. I have brought enough powers - in this very body which is talking to you - to be a net when you are flying! Nothing wrong can happen. You have heard this word directly from the Source. Nothing else needs to be done in your life. Remember, just live this truth. Even if you have created enough of mess already, and you are unclutching suddenly, I am taking responsibility for all the mess you created. I will take care.

Remember me wherever you are; I will be there. I will be there. Just live this truth. Just live this truth:. I take all the responsibility. I am taking all the responsibility. Just live this truth. Everything else is taken care of. Just live this dharma.

Q: Beloved Swamiji, how does it feel to be an Avatar?

How does it feel!

It's like... morning... somewhere in Kailasa... then zooming out a few trillion miles away....you can't even equate it with any trillion miles... and then slowly opening the eyes and seeing, “Oh, Planet Earth, yes okay... India... alright, Bangalore... ah yes, yes, yes, this is Bengaluru Aadheenam, the banyan tree is there, ahh..!" (laughs)

Okay, let Me put it in a precise few words; let me map it down to the language which you guys understand: the cognition of the whole Cosmos, Mahasadāshiva, operating, using this body and mind and this system. This system knows only one thing - it is being used by the Cosmos. The Cosmos is going to do whatever it wants to do through this body and mind - and it will protect, take care of this body and mind, and manifest whatever is required whenever it is required.

Because of this grounded cognition, this body and mind does not have the anxiety to know what is going to happen in the future. Only when you have anxiety, you feel, “What will happen in the future?" This body and mind does not have the anxiety to know what is going to happen in the future, so it does not even bother to look at what is going to happen in the future. It knows, “Sadāshiva is operating, and He is going to do what He needs to do, and He will protect."

Understand. I am anxious about your future, so I look into what is going to happen to you in future. I am not bothered or anxious about My future, so I never look at what is going to happen in My future! For you, I use My powers, but never for Me. I know for sure that I have to protect you. For Me, I know - I am protected. It is a paradox of all-knowingness (sarvajnattva), and not knowing even the next step, because there is no anxiety!

This paradox - or I should say, 'this union of man and God,' or in My own way, 'GODDeL and man' - the paradox of this, mixture of all this, is what precisely is - Nithyananda. Understand: I am a paradox for the people who can't understand, a union of all the paradoxes for the people who are able to grasp Me, the completion of God and man for those who try to receive something from Me, an Incarnation for the people who are manifesting powers through Me, and the Ultimate for the people who are feeling completely empowered by Me.

Whatever the other's image posed on Me, imposed on Me or superimposed on Me, the precise inner image I feel and the outer image I wanted to project is all of these words - plus a huge component which cannot be verbalized! The roar or the hair or the big-big eyes or the huge teeth - all these can be descriptions of the lion by others; it can only be other's image of the lion. What lion feels as lion - how can it be described?! I can go on and on and on! To be sincere and integrated, it is the Universe, Para, the Ultimate, operating through this body. That's it.
