About Nithyananda

It was under the glow of the spiritual magnet Arunachala in the energy center of Tiruvannamalai in South India, that Nithyananda was born - as Rajasekharan, to Arunachalam and Lokanayaki on 1 January, 1978. The family astrologer predicted that he would be a king amongst holy men.
At the age of 3, Nithyananda was associated with Yogiraj Raghupati Maharaj, a yoga guru who took him through rigorous training and prepared his body, with apparent foresight into the energy explosion that was going to happen in the young body. From the age of 5, Nithyananda took to deity worship with great passion. He showed profound commitment to the rituals he

practiced with the deities. Just a few
years later, he came in touch with
Mataji Kuppammal, a deeply pious
lady who initiated him into Vedanta
and Tantra and started his scriptural
learning at that young age.
Encountering many mystics from the
town of Tiruvannamalai, he received
esoteric teachings from them.
At the age of 12, he had his first
deep spiritual experience: while sitting
on a rock on the Arunachala hillock,
he suddenly had a 360 degree
panoramic vision, and experienced
becoming one with everything around
him. This experience further inspired
him to forge ahead in his journey
inwards.
Academics at school and polytechnic
came naturally for Nithyananda.
With only the attention he gave in
classes, he passed all his grades with
distinction. He obtained a diploma
degree in Mechanical Engineering
from a leading private Polytechnic
in Tamilnadu.

At
the age of 17, he left home
driven by the irresistible urge to
jump into the real life that he was
seeking. He wandered through the
length and breadth of India
studying Eastern metaphysical
sciences and meeting many
masters and mystics. He visited
many great shrines, ranging from
the Himalayas in the North, to
Kanyakumari in the South, from
Dwaraka in the West to Ganga
Sagar in the East. After enduring

intense meditation and
other austerities, he
attained eternal inner
bliss...the state of
nithyananda. At the age of
22, Rajasekharan became

Meditation has the power to transform you – physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually! The seed is already there inside you, but for the tree to grow and blossom, the seed first has to rupture.
Meditation is nothing short of rebirth. You have to possess the courage to face death – your own death! – and to be reborn as someone entirely new.
- Nithyananda
Can everyone learn meditation?
You don't have to learn meditation. You are already a meditator! Just remember any moment in your life when you have experienced extreme beauty. The sun rising suddenly from behind a mountain. Or the first time you hear an inexpressibly lovely piece of music. At such a moment, suddenly, you become still, wordless, totally aware. Haven't we all experienced such moments? That moment is meditation. After a few moments, your inner chatter starts again. Your mind says, That's a beautiful sunrise. Your mind starts comparing the music to other music that you have heard. That means, you have fallen out of meditation. Meditation is nothing but recapturing, and remaining in, that tranquil and blissful state.
