KAILASA

Hinduism is the most ancient, most peaceful, still-living and long-lasting demonstrable system that shows the possibility of peaceful co-existence amongst people despite fundamental differences in their preferences and realities.

Over the last 50 years, the effects of meditation and its significant impact on stress, crime rates, violence, political decision making and even war in local and global consciousness is well established. Hinduism was once practiced freely in over 56 nations across the continent from Afghanistan, India, Nepal, Burma, Sri Lanka, all the way to Singapore, Malaysia, and Cambodia and Indonesia, and in 200 states, 1700 samasthanas (provinces) and 10,000 sampradayas (traditions).

The KAILASA with de facto spiritual embassies operating across over 100 countries and having presence across the globe as the largest spiritual knowledge source on Hinduism is spiritually governed with the life positive, all-inclusive, universal policies sourced from Hinduism revived by The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam.

Having enriched and enreached more than one billion individuals over the past 27 years the KAILASA raises the voice to protect Hindus, defend Hindus and preserve the Hindu narrative for the world.

Desires are inborn. They are our
nature. If we fulfill desires, we feel
fulfilled, relaxed and complete.
With longings, the moment we
fulfill them, we feel empty,
incomplete. This is the difference
between desire and longing.

Desire gives us fulfillment,
completion. Longing gives us
emptiness, incompletion

WHAT IS DESiRE?

THE GREAT DIFFERENCE ABOUT DESiRE & GUILT

To open up all the samskaras
(patterns), all the unfulfilled
desires, guilt.

Desire means I should live like
this in future; guilt means I
should have lived like that in the
past. I should live like this is
desire; I should have lived like
that in the past is guilt.

Both are same energy; when it
travels towards the future, it is
desire; when it travels towards the
past, it is guilt.

IS IT WRONG TO HAVE DESIRES?

Desire is not wrong. Having so much of desires, you have never time to fulfil even one desire is wrong. Desire to have a cup of coffee is not wrong. But by the time coffee is ready, you are already worried about having a buttermilk.

By the time buttermilk is ready. you have already started worrying about the nectar. But finally from the morning till night you never drank anything. That is what is wrong.

Your life is running only in this way. Project plan, project plan, project plan , project plan and dead line for what. for project to die. But never ever. Never ever you enjoy, live. Yeyati could not relax from his life because he never enjoyed. By that time he is enjoying something in his life, his mind is already there in something else. By the time he is enjoying something else, his mind is there something else. Continuously moving, Never living.

HOW TO BREAK OUT OF THE UNENDING CYCLE OF DESIRES?

During student life, a person feels that he will be happy when he gets a job. Once he gets a job, he feels that he will be happy when he gets married. After marriage he feels that he will be happy only when he gets children. Like this, man runs after each desire thinking that he will be happy only when that desire gets fulfilled.

© 2020 Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam. All Rights Reserved When he runs to the end of his life, he realizes that none of his desires really gives him true happiness. Such a man is an anubhavan. An anubuthivan on the other hand clearly understands from his first desire that no desire when fulfilled will give him true happiness; There lies the difference.

Filling your being is the right job of the Master than fulfilling your desires. Fulfilling your desires are too small than filling your being. A Real Master fills your being

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF DESIRES IN ACCUMULATION OF KARMA

The qualities of life are:

Life can heal your body at this moment.

Life has the capacity to make any of your desire into reality. Any desire - just it can be made into reality.

Note: Any desire not fulfilled remains in your inner system as karma and will again and again push you to fulfill itself.

WONDER WHY YOUR
DESiRES ARE NOT
BECOMiNG REALiTY?

You do not manifest what you desire, but you manifest what you believe. You manifest what you perceive, you manifest what you cognize. If you cognize struggle as you, if you believe you as a struggle, you will manifest only that. If you believe, if you cognize , if you perceive, you as the ups and downs you will manifest only that in your life. So the first basic truth, so if you perceive yourself as a struggle, you will manifest only that.

Completion, Enlightenment, stress-free, beautiful, blissful content life, but you perceive you are not qualified for that, or that is not going to happen for you, you are not capable of taking responsibility for that. Unfortunately you manifest what you perceive, not what you desire.

For example: I really desire wealth. But deep down you believe wealthy people are arrogant people, bad people they do lot of wrong things, if you believe wealthy people are arrogant, bad wrong, they do many wrong things, they exploit others, if you have that belief how are you going to manifest wealth in your life?

Your reality is made out of the stuff
your perception, cognition are made
out of. Your desire is not the material
out of which your reality is made.
Your perception is the material out if
which your reality is made.

You desire wealth but you believe its
almost impossible for you, various
reasons. The fight which goes on
between your desire and belief is
mental patterns.

When the completion
starts happening,
your perception, your
beliefs, become your
desires. Your desire
and your belief
becoming one, is
what is called as
Completion. Then
simply you start
manifesting, what
you want to manifest.

DESiRE WiTHOUT OBJECT iS ENLiGHTENMENT

Desire without object is enlightenment. When you have some strong desire with object, you work towards that object. But if the object is removed the same strong pull, desire and energy - the same energy, turns towards itself and you realize yourself. When Masters say that there is nothing called enlightenment, they are breaking our goal-oriented mind and they are bringing us to this present moment.

A depiction of a young, enlightened being, possibly Sri Adi Shankara, adorned with jewelry and sacred markings, sitting in a meditative posture.

Same way when Shankara says there is enlightenment, he uses that word as a stick. With that stick he will burn all other desires of you. Automatically the idea of enlightenment attracts you so much, all other desires are burnt. Finally this one desire, enlightenment is also dropped in the same fire; that also disappears. Then you are enlightened.

Sealing of desires cannot be done.
Suppression will only lead to
perversion and other difficulties.
Transformation is the only
possibility; suppression cannot be
done. Whether it is related to sense-
enjoyment or name and fame or
anything, the more you suppress, the
more you poison your system. All
you can do is to transform the
desires. If want this to happen, enter
into meditation and let your
energies be transformed.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ONE SUPPRESSES THEIR DESIRES?

Except transformation, there is no other way to escape from desires. Just divert the energy and let it become pure. When you transform you will have the pure desire without it being directed towards any object. Desire without object is energy. When your energy is attached to an object, it becomes desire and when the desire is detached from the object it becomes energy.

That is why in Vedic systems,
we call desire as icchha shakthi
(Will Power) or desire energy.
As long as there is no object, it
leads you to bliss. When there is
an object, it leads you to
bondage. You can only
transform or purify it through
meditation, never suppress it
which only leads to more
problems.

When man ponders over the pleasures of the senses, there arises an association with it; means you start associating yourself with it. From association arises the desire, from desire the desire turns into anger, from anger arises delusion - unconsciousness; from the delusion - unconsciousness makes the mind unsteady. The destruction of understanding happen in an unsteady mind and the destroyed understanding annihilates the person.

THE DOMINO EFFECT OF HAVING DESiRES

When you mature, your desires do
mature. If you decide that your
desires should not get matured, you
stop your maturity. You stop your
maturity. Maturity of the desires
and fears is what is called
Renunciation. Renunciation is not
denunciation. In Hindu tradition,
Vairāgya is not arāgya. Virāgā is not
arāgā. Renunciation is not
denunciation. Maturity getting
added to your desires and fears.

WHEN YOU MATURE, SO DOES YOUR DESIRES

With surrender, the first thing you will experience is, your desires and fears will get matured. End, they will completely disappear, that is different – that is the ultimate experience. But the moment you even start practicing surrender, your desires and fears will start getting matured

Celebrate your desires getting matured. Celebrate your fears getting matured. Celebrate your anxieties getting matured. Celebrate your decisions getting matured. Celebrate your vision getting matured, you will celebrate Surrender; because in real surrender, spiritual surrender, the worm is becoming butterfly

BENEFITS ON TRANSCENDING YOUR DESIRES

In Sanskrit we have the word called
viraga which means going beyond
attachment or vairaagya. Raga means
attachment, araga means
detachment, viraga means going
beyond attachment or detachment;
going beyond desires and desire less-
ness.

When some desire comes, consider it
then suddenly quit. Suddenly
unclutch and experience the truth in
you.

This is a very strong truth, a very
profound statement. He says directly, '
whenever desire arises in you,
consider it'. He means, ' just see,
don't judge'. He is simply asking you
to be an unbiased witness, an
observer and not to judge whether
something is right or wrong. If you
judge something as wrong you will
not be able to drop the idea or desire.

Here Bhagavan Paramaśiva is saying, 'suddenly uncluth from it'; disconnect from the desire. See, when you filled with some desire and you suddenly disconnect, you will experience a new inner space, an empty space, that inner space which is ready to experience your own reality.
