The VedaAgamas are the Source books of Hinduism or Sanatana Hindu Dharma. The revelation from the Veda-Agamas form the Shāstra Pramana, the scriptural authority on truth, which came down directly from the mouth of Bhagavān Sadāshiva to His consort Devi Adishakti.

āgatāṃ śivavaktrebhyo gataṃ ca girijāmukhe ।
mataṃ hi vāsudevasya tasmādāgama ucyate ॥

~ svacchanda tantra

“That which has come from Śiva’s mouth and directly heard and received by Devi Girijā (Pārvati), which has been ordained by Śri Vāsudeva (Vishnu) to govern the world, therefore that is called Āgama.”

Paramahamsa Nithyananda reveals, “Vedas are the ultimate, superior authority for the Hindus. Vedas are like a pure science, where the ultimate truths are explained, but Agamas are the scriptures where the applied technology, the applied science is expanded.

All the Hindu bodies accept Vedas and Agamas as Shruti [that which is heard] and everything else follows as Smritis [the remembered scriptures]. Agamas are directly revealed by Sadashiva; they are more like a practical manual of how to, what to, where to, when to. All these details are answered with the right context, giving enough of understanding and I should say, in a more sympathetic, compassionate way, with a lot of concern for human beings with tremendous user-friendliness.”

Pramāṇas, the Four Authorities and Evidences of Truth

Shāstra Pramāṇas and Apta Pramāṇas

Shāstra Pramāṇa is the scriptural evidence, the direct, ultimate authority on the Truth as it is, for it is directly from Sadashiva, the Adiguru (original Guru), the Source of all that is.

In Sanatana Hindu Dharma, Veda-Agamas are the irrefutable Shāstra Pramāṇa. All knowledge currents, philosias, rituals and lifestyle systems, and Yogic sciences for humanity are in-depth systematically revealed in Veda-Agamas form the pramanas.

Apta Pramaṇa are the ancient authentic, time-tested, fool-proof compilations of experiences of Enlightened Sages such as – the Rishis, Siddhas, Munis, Incarnations (Avatars), the direct disciples and followers and descendants of Bhagavan Sadashiva, like the Saptarishis, Maharishis, including the Enlightened Ones such as Patanjali, Valmiki, Agastya Mahamuni, Abhinavagupta, Kshemaraja, Paramahamsa Yogananda, etc.

The compiled experiences verify and expand further on the VedaAgamas, forming Apta Pramana.

Atma Pramaṇa and Sākshi Pramana

The Atma Pramana are the direct experiences of the Living Avatar, Paramahamsa Nithyananda, who is respected, revered as the living incarnations by millions of people worldwide. In the space of Pure Oneness or Shuddhadvaita with Bhagavan Sadashiva, the Atma Pramānas of H.H. Paramahamsa form the words of His Gurus, His own experiences, and all that He has imbibed as a 'cognition' and directly experienced, and done thorough verification and authentication with the Śāstra Pramāṇa, and then presented to the world.

The Śaksi Pramana is the evidence of the experiences and sharings of the people who directly experience the Pramaṇas as a living, applied reality in their lives as the manifestation of His Atma Pramanas.

Shaktis of Sadashiva – revealed by Sadashiva, initiated by Paramahamsa Nithyananda

The Avatar H.H. Paramahamsa Nithyananda is initiating the humanity into Manifesting the powers of Sadashiva. These powers or Shaktis revealed by Him to the world and manifested by His disciples ‘Nithyananda Yogis’, are directly and precisely found in the Agamas, the original words of Sadashiva.

Every power that H.H Paramahamsa Nithyananda is initiating His disciples into, find direct evidence in the Shiva Agamas, lending the spiritual legitimacy to the power manifestation science and power of Deeksha (initiation) and Shaktipāta (grace descent of power from Oneness with Sadashiva), from the being who is Sadashiva Incarnate.

The powers manifested by the initiated disciples or ‘Nithyananda Yogi’ of Paramahamsa Nithyananda through His initiation are directly found in the Agamas, the Source Scriptures from Sadashiva – this is an unprecedented happening in the sacred history of humanity, taking leap into super humans.

Sadashiva has given detailed descriptions of the powers in the Agamas which are revelations to Devi Adishakti in the form of Dhārana, Sutras or powerful techniques and cognitions to manifest the powers, from the space of Oneness or Advaita with Sadashiva.

When AdiGuru Sadashiva Himself descends as the Avatar and Guru, He gives these powers as pure gifts onto His disciples without the need for any qualifications of a person to practice these techniques or meritocracy or spiritual penance. By the mighty power of His initiation, the powers manifest in any being who makes himself available to receive the state and power of Sadashiva, and aligns to live the truths of Integrity and Authenticity.

Deeksha and Shaktipaat from Sadashiva embodied, His Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda

The Shaktis, powers of Sadashiva cannot be unlocked by the reading or studying of the Agamas. The grace of the Agamas is the happening of Sadashiva and His inseparable Shakti as one’s own GURU. One cannot taste the nectar by speaking about it. Same way, the Science of Oneness and the Powers revealed by Sadashiva in the Agamas, can be tasted, experienced and celebrated only from the GURU, who gives us the nectar of Oneness with Him.

The Shaktis can be manifested by any initiated person solely by the grace descent of Sadashiva or Shaktipāt (also called entanglement) in His very living form. Sadashiva embodies Himself and appears as the Guru to make us manifest and radiate Sadashiva and His powers, which is the purpose of every soul or life.

In the human year 1978, AdiGuru Sadashiva Himself has appeared as the GURU, who is Sadashiva-Shakti embodied in complete Oneness – in the Avatar Paramahamsa Nithyananda. The most sacred historical moments of the cosmic history of humanity (Purana), will be remembered as ‘human to divine-making golden age or Nithyananda Yuga’.

Through the Avatar, Paramahamsa Nithyananda, human to Divine Beings are being manifested in millions, through His Deeksha, initiations into the Powers of Sadashiva. To experience MAHADEVA, the greatest Divine Being who is Sadashiva, one must become a DEVA, a divine being.

The journey from man to Divine, from Nara to Deva to experience oneness and know MAHADEVA is the journey of each soul, jeeva becoming Sadashiva. As revealed in the Veda-Agamas – knowing him and His acts and powers, one becomes Him.
