My mission is to create a new cycle of individual consciousness in planet Earth, causing Collective Consciousness to enter into the Superconscious zone. To achieve this, the Mission aims to initiate one billion people into the unique meditation - Nithya Dhyaan, and one hundred thousand people into ‘living enlightenment’.
Man by his very nature is an un-clutched and blissful Being. What do I mean by the term un-clutched?
Let me explain:
Every thought that arises in us is like a bubble that forms, rises and dies. Every thought independently rises and dies before the next thought comes up. For example, if you are sitting in a chair and suddenly get up, the moment you have decided to get up, that moment the thought of sitting has left you. If you are working on your computer and decide to shut down the machine, that moment, the thought that you want to work has died. So every thought is unconnected and happens in series, one after the other. One thought has to die before the next one comes up. This is our true nature.
Our true nature is to renounce thoughts every passing moment. By the word renounce, I mean simply allowing each thought to rise like a bubble and burst and allowing the next thought to rise. Our thoughts have only a vertical existence, like rising bubbles.
This process of allowing thoughts to rise and die without trying to connect them is what we mean by being un-clutched. As long as this natural process is allowed to happen, things are alright.
But what we do is, we start connecting these thoughts randomly and forming a shaft. By doing this, we convert the vertical and un-clutched process into a horizontal one with linear connectivity. Here starts the whole problem. As long as each thought is allowed to rise and die, we can take any amount of load at the physical and mental planes and our Consciousness will remain light and blissful. Once we start connecting the thoughts, our Consciousness suffers and we start feeling burdened. It damages our Being.
All emotions like worry, lust, discontentment, jealousy, fear, ego and attention-need are purely because we find a connection between independent incidents, between independent thoughts and create a concept for ourselves and start relating with that concept. We create an imaginary shaft with our thoughts and we suffer because of this.
It is these emotions that create all forms of violence be it religious wars, social conflicts or political unrest. The basis or the root of all forms of violence is our emotions and the basis of our emotions is our habit of creating imaginary shafts of our thoughts and empowering them to work on us.
The key thing we do while creating these shafts is, we choose the thoughts depending on whether we want pain or pleasure. We pick pleasant thoughts at random and connect them to form a shaft of pleasure or pick negative thoughts and connect them to form a shaft of pain. We create shafts of pain and pleasure alternately for ourselves and keep oscillating between these two emotions. To un-clutch from this shaft is the master key to a blissful life.
If you deeply analyse how we connect our thoughts instead of renouncing them, you will understand how we create suffering for ourselves. It is the mind that finds the connection. As such, there is no connection between our thoughts.
We have been trained to all the time feed on words and thoughts. That is why we create these shafts. We feed on words because we operate out of fear or greed all the time. Out of fear or greed, we create connectivity in our thoughts. We are afraid to let go of this process because if we let go, there is nothing else to hold on to. We have never experienced an un-clutched state of mind where there is no shaft, there are only bubble-like thoughts.
In the un-clutched state, there is no scope for fear or greed. You will simply BE, that's all. But it becomes difficult to understand that we can exist without this shaft of thoughts.
A small story:
An eye specialist was treating a blind man.
He assured him, "Once I operate on your eye, you will have your vision back and you can throw your stick away."
The blind man became afraid when he heard this. He asked the doctor, "I understand that I will get my vision, but how can I walk without my stick?"
The man was so used to walking with the stick that he could not understand that by getting his vision he can throw away the stick! In the same way, when the truth is that we can live in an un-clutched fashion blissfully, we wonder how we can be without clutching into the shaft of thoughts. We see it as something inevitable!
We fail to see how mythical the whole thing is. Our mind is a myth. We have empowered it and become a slave to it, that's all. It is nothing but mental slavery.
Another small story:
There was an old man in a family who could not be pleased at any cost.
He remained stubborn and grumpy, no matter how much his family tried to keep him in good spirits.
His children and grandchildren would visit him and try to cheer him up, but he would remain the same way.
Suddenly one day, he became very gentle and cheerful.
His family was shocked at the sudden transformation.
One of his grand daughters was courageous enough and asked him, "Grandpa, how come you have changed so suddenly?"
The old man replied, "All my life, I tried my best to get a contented mind, but never succeeded in getting it. So I have decided to be contented with it now."
Just see the play of the mind! Your mind can make you or break you. That is why we need to be free from it.
Just watch the thoughts rising in you. Clearly see how each thought rises and dies and the next thought comes up. Observe how you effortlessly connect these thoughts and create ideas and concepts. Watch the play of these concepts upon yourself; you will understand how you create the whole myth. I tell you: Connecting thoughts is the Original Sin.
Living in an un-clutched fashion is the only way to a blissful living. Just decide that you will not connect any two thoughts, that you will not pass any judgment on any thought or any incident. The moment you find yourself connecting, simply un-clutch from it. Keep un-clutching every time you remember this technique; your mental setup will automatically be transformed.
When you work in an un-clutched fashion, you will find your capacity expanding; you will take on a lot more responsibility without getting stressed; you will not experience mood swings between pain and pleasure; you will be blissful all the time. We are so used to happiness that comes in with a reason. This reason is again a shaft that we create with our thoughts. Once you stop creating these shafts, you will be blissful all the time.
By the term un-clutched, I do not mean that you should be aloof and cold to people and situations around you. Try to understand: Just don't connect your thoughts and start the process of creating shafts, that's all.
Remember that you are a beautiful and un-clutched Being by nature; that is enough. You will stop creating misery for yourself and for others.
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Sit in Vajrasana with hands on your hips. Sit on your mat on the floor with both your legs stretched out. Next fold both the legs, one after the other at the knees and rest your posterior on your heels with your toes turned outward. Let your hands rest on your lap. You can use a cushion or a rolled turkey towel under your ankles. Sit comfortably with your head, neck and spine in a straight line. Now close your eyes and breathe chaotically for 7 minutes.

Step 2
Continue to sit in Vajrasana. Form 'chin mudra' with your fingers. This is how we form the chin mudra: Place your hands on your knees. Your hands with open palms should be facing upward. Let the tip of the index finger touch the tip of the thumb, as if forming a circle. The three other fingers, arms and the hands remain relaxed. You will now hum intensely for 7 minutes.

Step 3
You may now sit cross-legged on the floor if you wish to or continue to sit in vajrasana and for 7 minutes you will take your awareness from the muladhara chakra to the sahasrara chakra.
Muladhara chakra — base of the spine Swadhishtana chakra — 2 inches above the muladhara Manipuraka chakra — at the navel center Anahata chakra — at the heart center Vishuddhi chakra — at the throat center Ajna chakra — between the eyebrows Sahasrara chakra — top of the head

Dwell on each chakra for a minute with the awareness that — the chakra is pure; the chakra is filled with energy the chakra is overflowing with bliss; the chakra is radiating Nithyananda.
Step 4
For 7 minutes just be un-clutched in silence. Sit without connecting thoughts to each other.
Step 5
For the last 7 minutes you may sit and chant the Guru Puja Mantra or just sway with the flow of the mantra on the cassette, and offer your gratitude to Existence and to the Master who is the embodiment of the Existential Energy. Offer your gratitude with your whole being.
