The whole purpose of Nithya Yoga is to help people un-clutch and experience eternal bliss. It is the simple and straightforward path of enlightenment. It is not a methodology to experience physical and mental well-being; they are mere by-products.

Nithya Yoga is not just a 'feel good' 90 minute practice session which is divorced from the rest of the day's activities. It is that time that we give ourselves to learn something more about the quality of our nature. We identify our likes and dislikes, our ingrained habits, our comfort zones and the way in which we deal with the challenges in life. When we practice Nithya Yoga with full awareness such a profound inner knowing will happen within us. We will realize that we can learn so much about ourselves and use this learning to bring about a total transformation at a personal and interpersonal level. This is what yoga is all about...Self knowledge.

Nithya Yoga is a direct method expressed by Paramahamsa, that will prepare the body and mind to experience, sustain and express the energy of enlightenment.

We are taught so much about the outside world but hardly anything about ourselves and our connectivity to everything around us. The lifestyle that we follow is competitive rather than collaborative. Therefore we are prone to a stressful way of living.

In Patanjali's days, the gurukulam system of education created integrated human beings. The development of all aspects, body/mind/spirit, was given equal importance and led to balanced growth. In such a scenario, there was not much need for any technique of cleansing to be Our education system, our upbringing and our lifestyle does not allow for an integrated balanced growth. Surprisingly, right from a very young age we are taught everything that does not allow for the expression of our inherent energy. We are self-centered but in a negative way. Selfishness, discontentment, jealousy, comparison, fantasy and an exaggerated idea of who we are has always been encouraged and rewarded in our society. Therefore, all our energy centers become blocked. We always feel a lack within us. We are not ready to receive yoga in its true essence.

In a Nithya Yoga class, we address this primarily by incorporating a revolutionary meditation technique that Paramahamsa has formulated called Nithya Dhyaan (Life Bliss Meditation).
