Nithyananda Yoga℠:
Evolution of the New Species
Bhagavan Sadashiva created the whole universe from His third eye.
The third eye, from Hinduism, being located at the center of the
forehead, is the seat of our will - conscious will. The will of pure
consciousness, of Sadashiva, is the most powerful will of all,
that leads to the manifestation of the whole universe. In
Hinduism, the Absolute truths are revealed by Sadashiva
Himself, and recorded by His closest disciples. Although the
third eye is a real possibility available to all, no other spiritual
tradition has explored and mastered it so thoroughly as the
seers of Sanatana Hindu Dharma, whose revelations easily
precede those of the Egyptians by thousands of years.
He Himself describes the creation of the universe when tells
His beloved wife:

सूर्याचन्द्रमसौ वह्निस्-त्रिधाम-परिकल्पना ।
त्रिनेत्रकल्पना मह्यं तदर्थमिह दृश्यते ॥ १-३० ॥
sūryācandramasau vahnis-tridhāma-parikalpanā ।
trinetrakalpanā mahya tadarthamihad śyate ॥1-30 ॥
In Me dwell the three playful abodes of the Sun, Moon and Fire.
In the play and projection of My magnificent Third Eye,
TRINETRA KALPANA is the substance of these three. I create,
sustain and destroy the universe.”
Netra Tantra
द्वैताद्वैतगन्धकारहरणं धामत्रयैकात्मकम् ।
शैव नेत्रमनुग्रहाय जगतोऽमुत्रैदुद्योतते ॥ ४ ॥
dvaitādvaitad gandhakārahara a dhāmatrayaikātmakam ।
śaiva netramanugrahāya jagato'mutraidudyotate ॥4 ॥
[Kshemaraja, Commentary on Netra Tantra]
The Eye, SEE of both duality and non-duality, the destroyer of
blinding darkness (of ignorance), the Oneness Soul and Source of
all the three sacred abodes (dhāma-traya), of that ever
auspicious Sadashiva's Netra-anugraha, the Grace that
showers liberation – the whole Universe here become manifest
and visible.
Avatar of Sadashiva, Bhagavan Sri Paramahamsa Nithyananda
Swami Himself elaborates on the creation of the universe,
specifically describing the creation of all of us, humans –
including you and I. He says,
Sadashiva made everything and all of us in His own "SEE".
Not seeing, not seen, not scene, not sea, "SEE." I wanted to use
some word which is immediate action and existentially
happening. If I use the word 'seen' then done, past. No. He has
not created the world and gone to rest. Nowhere Hindu God
rests or sleeps or takes vacation. I can't use the word SEEN. I
can't use the word SEEING. Seeing reduces the whole thing just
to an action.

SEE is a happening.
Sadashiva is Kārana Kārya Mūla. Listen. Kārana, the Cause.
KĀRYA, the Effect. MULA, the Source.
If a pot is made:
- clay,
- potter,
- and the force that the potter is using on the clay,
- and the knowledge potter has which he applies on that clay.
All that put together becomes a pot. Sadashiva is all this for all of
us. He is the material out of which we are made. He is the potter
who is making us. He is the force which is put on us, for us to stay
as we are, and He is the knowledge which is applying the force on
us, to stay as we are.
Immediately we all have a question. If He is everything, then why
is there so much of sadness, suffering, and wrong things?
Put your anchor on the Truth not on delusion. If He is
everything, then why am I deluded as if all this exists?
Sadhashiva made Yoga as a way to experience Him, the Ultimate,
through our body. It is a perfect mechanism of Oneness -
experiencing yourself within anything and everything in the
cosmos just as you experience yourself inside your body.
What is Oneness? We find the answers only from The Avatar.
14 planes, 11 dimensions. All of them function, on 1 principle. If
you are habituated for New York lifestyle and enter into old
Varanasi, you will have a big cultural shock. If you are habituated
to old Varanasi and enter into London, you will have a big cultural
shock. The American dollar may be useful in America,; Indian
currency, rupees, may be useful in India; Malaysian ringgits
maybe useful in Malaysia, but gold is a universal currency. The
whole planet Earth, anywhere the gold can be used as a currency.
Same way, there is certain culture, mental setup software useful
in New York. There is certain culture, lifestyle, useful in
Bangalore. There is certain culture, mental setup useful in
Varanasi. There is certain culture, mental setup, useful in
Germany. If you move to a different place, you will have a cultural
shock.
But, there is one culture, one principle common, to the whole 14
planes and 11 dimensions. The whole Brahmanda, if you develop
this one principle in you, you have a Cosmic currency, you will not
have shock in any of these planes, any transition into any plane.
Whether you to go Pitru Loka, Bhu Loka, Bhuvar Loka, Tapo Loka,
Satya Loka, Brahma Loka, Vaikunta, Kailasa, Goloka, Patala. In
any Loka, any transition, this one principle will not allow any fear,
will not allow any cultural shock. It is like you have Cosmic
currency.
That principle is ONENESS.
Even your struggles will liberate you. I want to tell you: if you feel
you are missing something in life, lacking something in life, look
from the angle of Oneness. Till you get your Oneness back, you
will always feel something missing.
As a by-product of the state of Oneness, we manifest shaktis.
From the very beginning, Yoga's purpose was to manifest shaktis.
A shakti is a power. In the Agama, Bhagavan Sadashiva names
460 powers, from blindfold reading to downloading information
from the cosmic archives. He cites these powers and gives us the
technique to express them. Our tradition and lifestyle was
founded by this science of manifesting shaktis.

The Lineage of Yoga
Throughout the Hindu history, after the revelation of Yoga by
Sadashiva Himself, great Yogis and sadhus practiced Yoga to
acquire the best physique and physiology to manifest the state
and powers of Sadashiva. This is authentic Yoga.
Aghoris, sadhus, sannyasis have always exemplified the yogic
powers and demonstrated incredible feats. The miracles and
extraordinary happenings written about in our Puranas are all
true. Krishna lifted the Govardhana hill with just the strength of
His little finger. Sadashiva destroyed the Tripurasura with just
the power of His third eye. Every miracle that you've ever read
about or seen in a depiction of the puranas is more real than the
book in your hands and the four walls surrounding you.
Yogis of Hindu history, just 100 years ago, were the proof that this
is true. Just 400 years ago, Baba Kinaram was a great aghori,
considered an incarnation of Sadashiva Himself, who
flamboyantly expressed powers. He would roam the space of
Varanasi in a flying cot. He would take poison without even
showing its effects. An entire lineage of aghoris exists because of

him today in Varanasi.

Finally, even just 30 years back,
Yogananda Puri was alive on
Earth, shamelessly showcasing
the shaktis from the Hindu
shastra. He was born in 1921 in a
small village in the outskirts of
Tiruvannamalai. He grew up
practicing the traditions of the
Natha Sampradaya evolved into
a powerful Yogi roaming all over
India. For a long time, he resided
in what is now Burma until in 1948 when the British split India
into smaller countries. That is when he returned to
Tiruvannamalai and settled down.
But it wasn't until 1978, his true purpose for descending on planet
Earth was fulfilled.
January 1978, the cosmos Itself was born in a human body. In the
twilight hour of the morning, He assumed the body inside his
mother's womb. His name was Rajasekaran and He would later
be known to the world as Paramahamsa Nithyananda.
Yogananda Puri was in the young Avatar's life from the
beginning on.
The Avatar Paramahamsa Nithyananda describes the
extraordinary power Yogananda Puri carried. He says, "My
Guru, Raghupati Yogi, he is extraordinary, forget about him. He
is totally a body of miracles! He is just a bunch of miracles! That's
all! Anything he does will be miracle. He will just sip the cold
water through the nose, and spit that water through mouth, and
it will be boiling water! I have seen the kind of a play he will do.
And he will sip the hot coffee through the mouth, and just start
releasing that through the nose. By the time it reaches the
ground, it will become ice-ball, please understand, ice-cube!
Means, he can play anything with his body! He can make his
body as hot boiler or freezer! I have seen with my own eyes, he
cooking just by touching the pot! In the mud pot, he will put
water, rice, and just touch it. In two minutes rice is ready! He
will tell, 'Come on, eat!' The kind of a heat he will generate
through his body, or cold he can generate through his body! His

body was a freezer, boiler, all put together! Early morning, when
he wakes me up and takes me to the temple to teach Yoga, during
this Margazhi month, the water will be very cold. I have seen him
doing this multiple times. He will just point the area where I am
taking bath. That area will be warm. Sometimes, even hot water!
In the temple tank, he will put his finger and say, 'Come on. Take
bath!' It will be warm water or hot water; never I felt the cold!
That is a totally different level. I am talking, normal, so-called,
your plane. And my grandfather - the kind of a faith he had about
his body! We are the last generation who have seen those kind of
people."
Paramahamsa Nithyananda remembers that at the end of his life,
"I told my guru, Yogananda Puri, 'I will build a big samadhi and
temple for you! That should be the way I show my gratitude for
you!'
He laughed at me and said, 'I will make sure when I leave the body
you will not be around me! And you don't get hold of my body! It
will be buried in the normal cremation ground, and you will not
be showing your gratitude to me in that way! Make thousands
and thousands of Yogis. I am grateful to be a part of your
mission'.
Even until the end, Yogananda Puri never once let Paramahamsa
Nithyananda touch his feet or do any kind of service. He always
knew that he was the one blessed to play a part in the grand
mission of Sadashiva Himself.
Now, Paramahamsa Nithyananda has promised not only to make
thousands of Yogis but lead the whole world into a conscious
awakening.
He has recontextualized the entire evolution in the grand scheme
of the universe. He declared, "Amoeba to fish is physical
breakthrough. Fish to monkey is physical and mental
breakthrough. Monkey to man is physical, mental and conscious
breakthrough. Man to super human is physical, mental,
conscious, super conscious breakthrough." The Avatar Bhagwan
Paramahamsa Nithyananda is creating a SUPER CONSCIOUS
breakthrough!

Introduction to Paramahamsa Nithyananda
Paramahamsa Nithyananda is an Avatar with unimaginable
powers. Recognized today as a clear, legitimate, apolitical voice of
Sanatana Hindu Dharma, He is revered as a living Avatar of
Superconsciousness by millions worldwide. Paramahamsa
Nithyananda, with his direct experiential understanding of the
nature of consciousness – from the microcosm to the macrocosm
– has revealed unified, universal understanding of the very fabric
of our existence, connecting flawlessly consciousness and the
energy of consciousness, with physics, chemistry and biology, as
well as integrating medicine and health seamlessly.
The life-story of an Avatar is a divine drama or Leela-Maanusha
Vesham – the human role assumed for the sole purpose of
furthering the Cosmic play. Even though He is established as the
Source of all knowledge, the Avatar joyously and innocently
enters into the unfolding drama of His own life.

Realization of Avataric Mission
A lifetime of intense meditation, Yoga, study and austerities
finally came to its fruition on 1st January 2000, in an explosion of
Consciousness which revealed to the 22-year-old His
phenomenal Avataric mission on our planet. Sharing His
attributes and powers is the greatest gift an Avatar can give to
humanity. Carrying the compassion and responsibility of a
Cosmic mother and father to awaken every soul, Paramahamsa
Nithyananda has ensured the manifestation of His own divine
attributes and shaktis in thousands of His followers through the
powerful process of deeksha or initiation. This is the ultimate
Cosmic inheritance that humanity can receive from the Guru
who is the embodiment of pure Oneness or Sadashivoham.
Nithyananda Yoga℠ - The authentic Yoga
Nithyananda Yoga℠ is the revival of THE original Yoga. It
has been revealed and gifted to the world by Living Avatar
Paramahamsa Nithyananda as per the intention of Sadashiva,
not as a mere physical exercise but as a clear path to manifest
yogic powers.
Nithyananda Yoga℠ is all about experiencing,
expressing and manifesting the state, space,
powers and glory of Sadashiva!

Revival of Sadashiva's Original Yoga
For most Yogis around the world, enlightened master Patanjali is
the Father or Yoga: He presented a system call Ashtanga Yoga,
comprising 8 dimensions of Yoga, approximately 3,000 years ago.
Little we know that Yoga was revealed in details by Sadashiva, the
first and foremost Guru, in a system He revealed as Shashtanga
Yoga, over 60,000 years before Patanjali!
Sadashiva reveals Shashtanga Yoga in the Kirana Agama - (Yoga
Pada 2.3), one of the original authentic scripture on Yoga:
भगवान्-
प्रत्याहारस्तथा ध्यानं प्राणायामोऽथ धारणम्।
आसनञ्च समाधिश्च योगाङ्गानि षडेव तु॥ ३॥
pratyāhärastathādhyāna prā ãyāmosthadhāra am|
äsanañca samādhiśca Yoga gāni a evatu||3||

It is to be known that there are six limbs of Yoga. Now listen to
those various subservient parts of yogic practice: pratyāhāra,
dhyāna, prā āyāma, dhāra a, āsana, and samādhi are the six
constituents of the Yogasystem.

Three truths you need to know about Yoga:
On June 21st 2016 International Day of Yoga, H. H. Paramahamsa
Nithyananda addressed the world in a mind blowing discourse,
sharing sacred secrets on the true Origins of Yoga. Here is what
you have never been told, but need to know about Yoga:
1) Yoga is from Sadashiva
This first thing you need to know is that Yoga did not originate
from Patanjali. "Patanjali is the organizer, not originator. That's
the first thing you need to know", said Paramahamsa
Nithyananda.
Swamiji explained, "With all my respects to Patanjali, I want to
declare this truth to the world: 60,000 years before Patanjali, a
Being walked on the Planet Earth, assuming the physical form,
Adi Guru, Sadashiva, the Founder and Father of the Yoga system.
Patanjali Yoga Sutras is a great book, no doubt, but not the first
book. Unfortunately, many popular Yoga gurus all over the
world, always stop with Patanjali. Very few say Yoga was before
Patanjali, and even if they say, they're not able to present the
scriptures and literature.
All the revelations of Sadashiva are called Agamas, the complete
work of Sadashiva, where He presents detailed, elaborate
material with high quality precision.
People are very comfortable having Patanjali as the originator of
Yoga because Patanjali can be secularized, but not Sadashiva. But
it's time for the world to know and understand that Yoga is rooted
in Sanatana Hindu Dharma.
2) Yoga is from Hinduism
The second important truth is that Yoga is from Hinduism.

Always ask for the original source. It is unfortunate that the
original scriptures revealed by Sadashiva are not available for the
mass. It is unfortunate nobody promoted that. Because it is very
easy to secularize Patanjali; very difficult to secularize Sadashiva.
We need to understand that Yoga cannot be developed and
cannot be separated from Hinduism. It is a perfect system that
was revealed by Sadashiva and further organized by living
enlightened masters, disciples of Sadashiva over thousands of
years, with a clear purpose, an intention.
You cannot develop on Sadashiva. Yoga is a complete science that
has taken into account all types of bodies past, present and yet to
come in the future. Altering Yoga is not development but dilution.
The secular world has diluted a great science that we are yet to
discover and reveal to the masses. But first understand, if you
have practiced something in the name of Yoga, ask your teacher
for the clear reference. Where did this technique come from?
Always ask for the source. Only then you should even consider
practicing these techniques safely.
The third important truth is that Yoga is not just the science of
keeping you healthy, Yoga is the science of radiating
enlightenment.
Through Yoga one attains liberation
Śāstra Pramāṇa, scriptural authority:
Sadashiva reveals in Kiraṇa Āgama - Yoga Pada (II.3)
भगवान्-
योगात्सद्धििश्च मोक्षश्च तदभ्यासाच्छुभम् खग |
षडङ्गस्स च बोद्धव्यस्तस्याङ्गम् शृणुष्व तत् ||
Bhagavān-
Yogadsiddhiśca mokṣhaśca tadabhyāsācchubhaṃ khaga |
ṣhaḍaṅgassaca boddhavyastasyā gāṃshṇu vatat ||
Through the practice of Yoga one can attain beneficent
accomplishments. He can attain liberation. He can ascend to
the state of ineffable bliss.
-
Credit: Kiraṇa Āgama, Translated into English by Dr.

Yoga is not just the ability to stretch your body. It is ability to
manifest what you want. Yoga is not all about making you
better man. Yoga is all about making you Superman.
The best that can happen to you on the path of Yoga is getting rid
of all self-doubt, self-hatred and self-denial, the root cause of all
incompletions. Paramahamsa Nithyananda actively teaches the
science of completing with these, collectively called SDHD,
discarding all mental patterns that limit us from living to our
highest potential. As long as we carry inadequate, immature
cognitions about ourselves, about life, others, God, world, we
continue to feel separate from the whole. When we complete with
all our limited cognitions and discover our true Self, Yoga
happens.
Manifesting powerful cognitions is Authenticity-taking it to the
next level is Manifesting Shaktis! If you don't develop powerful
cognitions, even if cosmos blesses you, you will miss it or abuse it.
Ultimately, Yoga is for awakening of the Kundalini Shakti,
awakening inner powers and merging the individual
consciousness with the Cosmic Consciousness. It is designed to
experience Oneness, Advaita, and express all the mystical powers
outlined by Sadashiva.
Hathapradīpikā of Svātmārāma (verses 124 to 127) states:
सशैलवनधात्र्यास्तु यथाधारो ऽहिनायकः ॥
अशेषयोगतन्त्राणां तथाधारो हि कुण्डली ॥ १२४ ॥
फणी कुण्डलिनी नागी चक्री वक्री सरस्वती ॥
ललना रसना क्षत्री ललाटी शक्तिः शङ्खिनी ॥ १२५ ॥
रज्जी भुजङ्गी शेषा च कुण्डली सर्पिणी मणिः ॥
आधारशक्तिः कुटिला कराली प्राणवाहिनी ॥ १२६ ॥
अष्टवक्रा षडाद्वारा व्यापिनी कलनाधरा ॥
कुरीत्येवं च विख्याताः शब्दाः पर्यायवाचकाः ॥ १२७ ॥
saśailavanadhātryāstu yathādhāro ’hi nāyaka ॥
aśeṣayogatantrāṇā tathādhāro hi kuṇḍalī ॥ 124 ॥
phaṇī kuṇḍalinī nāgī cakrī vakrī sarasvatī ॥
lalanā rasanā kṣatrī lalāṭī śakti śaṅkhinī ॥ 125 ॥
rajvī bhujagī śeṣā ca kuṇḍalī sarpiṇī maṇi ॥
ādhāraśakti kuṭilā karālī prāṇavāhinī ॥ 126 ॥
aṣṭavakrā ṣaḍgārā vyāpinī kalanādhārā ॥
kurītyeva ca vikhyātā śavdhā paryāyavācakā ॥ 127 ॥
Just as the Lord of serpents is the support of the earth, with all her
forests and mountains, similarly, kuṇḍalinī forms the very
substratum of the entire science of Yoga. 124
Phaṇī, kuṇḍalinī, nāgī, cakrī, vakrī, sarasvatī, lalanā, rasanā,
kṣatrī, lalāṭī, śakti, śaṅkhinī, rajvī, bhujaṅgī, śeṣā, kuṇḍalī,
sarpiṇī, maṇi, ādhāraśakti, kuṭilā, karālī, prāṇavāhinī,
aṣṭavakra,ṣaḍ, ādhārā, vyāpinī, kalanādhārā, kurī are the well
known synonyms of kuṇḍalinī. 125-127
The Yoga for manifesting Powers - Shaktis
Understand that Yoga is not just a physical practice, it goes much
beyond. Because you always see the ocean from the beach, the
moment the word ocean is uttered, you visualize only the beach,
not the ocean. Same way, because Yoga starts from bending the
body, unfortunately, the moment the word Yoga is uttered, you
think it's only bending the body!
Ocean is not beach. From the beach it starts, but beach is not the
ocean. Bending the body is ALSO Yoga, it starts from there. But
unfortunately, you think that IS Yoga.
Nithyananda Yoga℠ is not just the practice of Yoga; it is an
"initiation" into Yoga by a Living Avatar of Sadashiva! As the
embodiment of Sadashiva - the Cosmic Superconsciousness,
Paramahamsa Nithyananda has the capacity to infuse Cosmic
energy into everybody, and raise us to His frequency. This process
is called Shaktinipaata. It is the power to entangle with His
Consciousness from the context of Oneness.

The Shaktinipaata that happens in the master's physical presence
directly tunes our body and mind to super-consciousness and
transforms our DNA to manifest the Divine Powers of Sadashiva.
The practice of Nithyananda Yoga℠ effectively prepares the
body to sustain the energy of the initiation of the master and
radiate Shaktis. This is the reason why Nithyananda YogaSM
forms an essential part of the 21 days Inner Awakening program.
The result is a perfect, healthy, yogic body radiating Shaktis, the
powers, grace and glory of Sadashiva.
The practice of Nithyananda Yoga℠ is so seamless and blissful,
that even the most complex asanas become easily possible for
beginners. While ordinary Yogic paths require years and
sometimes even lifetimes of effort, this unique path has
Paramahamsa Nithyananda Himself initiating and awakening
the highest possibilities within us. With this, we are able to
effortlessly align ourselves from the context of Oneness with
Sadashiva, where all of the possibilities and yogic powers or
Shaktis simply manifest.
Shaktis not Siddhis
Listen, what I am revealing as the Sacred
Secrets Science of Third Eye is neither
mysticism nor occultism. It does not come
under any of these definitions. It is a very clear
Sacred Secrets Science of Shaktis described
directly by Sadāshiva, the Ādiguru, the
ultimate source in Agamas very elaborately,
eloquently, without any ambiguity, without
any doubt, step by step science, applied
science, technology, the whole thing is clearly
presented in Agamas.
First thing, I want to tell you, what I am
teaching, what I am helping you to experience,
what you guys are manifesting, this whole
science, is from Yoga Pada of Sadāshiva, which
is Shakti, not Siddhis. It is not the Siddhis
described by Patanjali, in Patanjali Yoga

Sutras. The methods of Ashtanga Yoga is
different and the methodology of Shastanga
Yoga is different. In Shastanga Yoga of
Sadāshiva, the very basis, context,
understanding is different and the way we begin
the journey is different, the way we manifest the
powers is different.
Understand, Sadāshiva is very clear – He
programmed all of us with His own inner space.
In this human frame you can manifest easily,
simply by realizing your Oneness with
Sadāshiva. Around 460 Shaktis, listen, these
Shaktis are neither supernatural nor magical or
paranormal or alchemy based or occult or
mystical. These are very clearly, the Sacred
Science of manifesting your original state of
Sadāshivatva. Somebody says it is difficult,
somebody says it is easy, I say it is neither
difficult nor easy, it is simple Reality.
Third Eye Awakening
Some of the Shaktis manifested through the Third Eye
Awakening by Paramahamsa Nithyananda:
- Effortlessly read blindfolded, using only the third eye.
- Scan the body of a person for physical ailments, and heal the body using the third eye.
- Demonstrate remote vision, with the ability to see people/places/events in far of places.
- Project what we remotely see onto a mirror, leaf or stone.
- Breathe Prana (life energy) into any animate form (like plant or animal).
- Provide Nithya healing through Cosmic energy, based on the Ananda Gandha initiation by H.H. Paramahamsa Nithyananda.
- Tangibly express the feeling of Oneness with all animate and inanimate forms. It is from this context that the disciples are able to easily talk to plants.
Ultimately, the purpose and goal of Nithyananda Yoga℠ is
straightforward:

to awaken everyone to the divinity within, the experience of
Sadashiva.
With this, seekers are quick to realize that Nithyananda Yoga℠
is the smart way to Enlightenment!
As H.H. Paramahamsa Nithyananda constantly reminds us.
Sakshi Pramanas
Express the Shaktis and Feel Oneness (Sakshi Pramana on
Remote Scanning)
By: Sri Nithya Jagatpremananda
PLACE: Malaysia
OCCUPATION: Technician, AirAsia Airlines
AGE: 25
When Swamiji told about powers manifestation in Nithyananda
Yoga℠, I was so excited about that. I did have my own cognition
about those powers which Swamiji was explaining about. But I
tell you, it's way more than what we can imagine about it.
Now I am expressing Remote Scanning Powers very smoothly
and it's so fun! I never imagined I will be doing it so smoothly and
everything is perfect as I described.
Sometimes Sadashiva shows me even the dream house of the
person I'm scanning (with their permission). They'll be in jaw
dropping state when they hear me telling about their dream
house, which Sadashiva shows to me.
When I express these powers more and more, slowly I start to feel
Advaita (Oneness) towards the other person. And now I feel I am
Sadashiva like how I heard Swamiji that even though we're
separate from the whole, we're still whole. Now I understood
what Swamiji told and experiencing it myself is really awesome
feeling.

The MASTER KEY - Importance of THE GURU
Time and again, traditional Yogic scriptures stress the
importance of the Guru on the path to achieve the Ultimate
experience of Yoga.
The Grace of the Guru is essential
Āpta Pramāṇa (experiential authority): Tirumandiram (Tandiram
3, Mandiram 569)
APTA (Avatar/Enlightened Being): Tirumūlar
When prana is brought under one's control
Crystal like will the body be; and young despite years
When guru's grace provides the light
In the subtle spheres, the blessed souls will move.

Hathapradipikā of svātmārāma (Chapter 3, Verse 2) states:
सुप्ता गुरुप्रसादेन यदा जागर्ति कुण्डली ॥
तदा सर्वाणि पद्मानि भिद्यन्ते ग्रन्थयस्तथा ॥ २ ॥
suptā guruprasādena yadā jāgarti kuṇḍalī //
tadā sarvāṇi padmāni bhidyante granthayastathā // 2 //
When the dormant kuṇḍalī gets aroused by the grace of guru, then
alone all the padmas (lotuses-cakras) and the granthis (knots) get
pierced. 2

mukthi fire - it needs to catch from another one body which is
living enlightenment of the same frequency, the same flesh and
bones. Be very clear: Maha Avatar Baba cannot give you living
enlightenment. He can only give you inspiration- some glimpse
but if he wants to give you jeevan mukthi, he will have to guide to a
person who is in the physical body.
Ramakrishna, or Ramana Maharishi, or Maha Avatar Baba, or
Osho, or Jai Krishnamurthy, anybody. They are all still in the
cosmic plane for whoever they were connected when they were in
their physical body. For example, if you were there when Rama
Krishna was there and you had directly connection with him and
he blessed you and he passed away. Still you are living, he will be
there to care of you but no new addition is possible.
If you are seeker, starting to pray to Rama Krishna, Ramana
Maharishi, they can guide you to a living master. That's all. They
themselves will not be able to give because it has to be transmitted
from this plane, from flesh and bone. That is why the need of
living master. That is also why no huge organization is able to
move spirituality other than a living master.
The Importance of Initiation by a Living Master
All scriptures, all literature, all method of teachings can only
inspire you. They cannot give you experience. All books, all DVDs
including mine - everything can only create inspiration in you but
cannot give experience.
Experience can light a lamp. Same way jeevan mukthi can be
transmitted only from a burning lamp. It is transmitted from
only from a living body to a living body. If that body has to catch
jeevan mukthi, it has to catch from a same material source which
is living enlightenment. Please understand, I'm describing very
clearly. If that body made out of muscles and the mind made out
of thoughts, if it needs to catch living enlightenment - jeevan
I'll be living jeevan mukthi, without muscles even after leaving the
body, but because there is no muscles I will not be able to transmit
to the person who is with muscles. If I initiate you now and give
you the assurance, only then I can handle you even if I leave the
body. So if you had assurance from RamaKrishna, Ramana
Maharishi anybody, then you don't need to go to living master.
But even then usually they guide to a master because living
around the master not only living enlightenment it is a joy, it's an
ecstasy.
Otherwise if you have not had connection physically, they can't do
anything. Maha Avatar Baba cannot give you enlightenment or
the experience. He can only guide. That is the reason why still that
living master necessity is not replaced at all. Still the necessity for
living master is there when the whole thing started by Sadashiva
millions of years ago.

Shaktipata - Entanglement with the master
Shaktipata is the process of entanglement where the disciple can
start reflecting the masters neurons. It is the highest form of
spiritual process in the master's presence.
Listen. Shaktipata, the first thing it does in you - increasing the
viscosity of Bliss, increasing the depth and presence and intensity
of the Bliss in you, so that automatically breaks the Pitta layer,
Delusion layer.
“Even Yoga need not be a practice. It can happen just by entanglement.”
Shaktipata should be happening constantly in your system by the
sweet Leela Dhyana, a sweet remembrance.
So every Nithyananda YogaSM class, every cleansing technique,
every action instructed by Sadashiva, is the opportunity to
entangle with the Cosmos and the Guru.
Sadashivoham 2016 participant relates:
We had our first Nithyananda YogaSM session with Swamiji and
we didn't know what to expect. Swamiji came on the stage, and in
a few words, he arose our Kundalini in the middle of the Yoga
session. It was the experience of a lifetime. I was doing sirsasana
with my eyes closed and I could stretch more than I ever
stretched. It was a phenomenal experience, thank you Swamiji!

How to chose your Yoga teacher?
You need to know very clearly there are 3 kind of people teaching
Yoga.
- Who claims they are teaching from their personal experience.
- Who knows only the scriptures, teach only from scriptures, does not have personal experience – Pundits scholars.
The pundits and scholars who just teach from the books, without
having personal experience, cause less damage to people than
this so called ‘Enlightened Gurus’ who declare they are teaching
from personal experience; does not abide the shastras, does not
abide by the scriptures!
Please understand, this is one of the important revelation I am
giving you. These so called ‘Enlightened Gurus’ who does not
abide by the scriptures are more dangerous to human beings,
humanity, than the people who are abiding just by the scriptures
without enlightenment; because people who are abiding just by
the scripture without enlightenment cannot damage you. They
may not be able to give you experience but they can’t damage you
because they are just following the scripture. Scriptures will
never damage you. But this so called ‘Enlightened’ fellows, who
don’t follow the scriptures, because they get your complete trust
and authority, they become authority just by convincing you in
some two three things.
3) Very rare are the third varieties, third category of teachers who
have a solid personal Enlightenment Experience, who are
authorities, responsible for what they are speaking and
completely connected, rooted, centered on the traditional yogic
scriptures. Those are the rare beings from whom you should
learn.
Fortunately, Nithyananda Yoga℠ belongs to the third category.
As the Living embodiment of Sadashiva, H.H. Paramahamsa
Nithyananda shares His own experience of Enlightenment with
one and all, while simultaneously connecting each technique to
its scriptural roots in the Vedagamas.
Pramāṇas: Four Authorities and Evidences of Truth
What makes Nithyananda Yoga℠ so authentic and unique are
the 4 levels of Truths on which it is established. These are:
Shāstra Pramāṇa
Āpta Pramāṇa
Ātma Pramāṇa
Śakṣi Pramāṇa

• Yoga Pāda – the Yoga knowledge and science sections
• Caryā Pāda – the enlightened lifestyle from Sadāshiva
The Veda-Agamas are the Source books of Hinduism or Sanatana
Hindu Dharma. The revelation from the Veda-Agamas form the
Shāstra Pramāṇa, the scriptural authority on truth, which came
down directly from the mouth of Bhagavān Sadāshiva to His
consort Devi Adishakti.
Shāstra Pramāṇa is the scriptural evidence, the direct, ultimate
authority on the Truth as it is, for it is directly from Sadāshiva, the
Ādiguru (original Guru), the Source of all that is. In Sanātana
Hindu Dharma, Veda-Agamas are the irrefutable Shāstra
Pramāṇa. All knowledge currents, philosophies, rituals and
lifestyle systems, and Yogic sciences for humanity are in-depth
systematically revealed in Veda-Agamas form the pramaṇas.
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."
There are 28 Agamas, each comprising 4 major sections:
• Jñāna Pāda or Vidyā Pāda – the knowledge
section from Agamas
• Kriyā Pāda – the rituals sections from Agamas
Apta Pramana are the ancient great authentic, time-tested,
fool-proof compilations of experiences of Enlightened Sages
called 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 Āpta Pramana.
Ātma 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 Ātma Pramānas of H.H. Paramahamsa form
the words of His Gurus, His own experiences, and all that He
has learnt and directly experienced, and done thorough
verification and authentication with the Śāstra Pramāna, and
then presented to the world.
Śaksi Pramāna is the evidence of the experiences and
sharings of the people who directly experience the Pramanas
as a living, applied reality in their lives as the manifestation of
His Ātma Pramanas.
Only when all three are combined does the initiation safely
culminate in Sākśi Pramāna - the individual disciple's
experience of the highest state and power manifestations of
Yoga . Nithyananda Yoga℠ as revealed by Paramahamsa
Nithyananda combines all three pramanas, precisely reviving
the space from which Sadashiva created this science. After
being subject to years of dilution and pollution of this sacred
science, the most profound intention and context of Yoga is
now being revived and transmitted as a tangible experience by
Paramahamsa Nithyananda, the Avatar of Sadashiva Himself.
Nithyananda Yoga℠ is
THE Yoga to prepare your body
Power of yogic physiology
Understand, Yogic Body means: power, energy, flexibility,
health. All these four put together is Yogic body. Yogic body in
itself is a Power. All four qualities are worked upon and developed
through the authentic practice of Nithyananda Yoga℠, including
traditional asanas, pranayamas, yogic cleansing techniques,
mudras, bandhas, and the traditional Rope and Pole Yoga:
Shivakhamba.
When the body is intensely prepared by the practice of
Nithyananda Yoga℠ and Shivakhamba, the master's initiation –
the shaktipata, simply becomes Power.
The Power of Yogic physiology is the ability to go beyond food. The
ability to build itself on pure prana and long breath. The ability to
go beyond sleep, eat as much as it wants or as little as possible. A

Yogic body is the one whose muscle memory expresses its peak
possibilities.
Having a glimpse of enlightenment, a satori, is not difficult. But
to hold and radiate the same energy continuously, the body needs
preparation.
It needs to develop a strong nervous system. Only then it will hold
the master's energy during initiation. It will directly manifest as
powers.
In a male body you should start with power, then add flexibility,
then add energy; it will become healthy. For female body, start
with flexibility, then add power, then add energy; it will become
healthy. That is why the male body should start from
Shivakhamba.
Nithyananda Yoga℠ is a great possibility! The possibility to live
an extraordinary life, in an extraordinary body. You are now
ready to start your practice!
The Creation of a New Species
In the west, scientists have come to accept the Theory of
Evolution, originally written about and pioneered by Charles
Darwin in the 1800's. However, like gravity, calculus and even the
science planetary positions and movement, these ideas did not
originate from Western culture and modern science. The Law of
Gravity and subsequently fundamentals of calculus was declared
a natural phenomenon by Hindu mathematician Bhaskaracharya
nearly 500 years before an apple landed on Newton's head. Hindu
Rishis described the movements of all nine planets and that the
Earth was, in fact, not flat, long before Galileo suffered against at
the hands of Roman autocrats in the 1600's.
And evolution is a concept known to humanity far more than just
200 years. Hindu history was compiled by the great Veda Vyasa, a
powerful intellectual and devotee of Sadashiva. In the
Bhagavatam, Vyasa writes about the dashavatar, ten avataras
(incarnations) of Vishnu, beginning from the matsya avatar and
ending with Kalki.
Every Avatar brought a tremendous shift in the experience of
life on planet earth. Bhagavan Paramahamsa Nithyananda
summarizes this by saying, "Amoeba to fish is physical
breakthrough. Fish to monkey is physical and mental
breakthrough. Monkey to man is physical, mental and conscious
breakthrough. Man to super human is physical, mental ,
conscious , super conscious breakthrough." The Avatar Bhagwan
Paramahamsa Nithyananda is creating a SUPER CONSCIOUS
breakthrough!"
It is clear in the Puranas that Sadashiva created the universe to
enjoy Himself in many forms. The grand scheme of the universe is
in the end to experience Sadashiva in the most deepest length,
breadth and depth.
In the 2017 Jayanthi Message for Humanity, the Avatar declared:
What Vivekananda visualized, Yogananda yearned, Maharishi
Mahesh Yogi tried, Aurobindo worked - for what all of them
worked, by the grace of Sadāshiva, it is already reality. It is already
reality. Navatma Vikratis, the new species, are here. I will also
prove medically, scientifically, by doing enough of studies,
researches, documenting it. The Beings I am producing by
manifesting powers are literally new Beings. It is not just evolved
or grown - NEW. You will see the strand of DNA, which is
completely alien, which is completely new. Non-recorded, non-
observed, non-documented. Completely new, which can be
programmed just by will.
"Oh humanity, I am ready with the Science, come, become new.
Evolve to the next level. This clarion call is my message for the
humanity, this year on 2017 January 1st."

The Ultimate Way of Living


carya चर्या
The Ultimate Way of Living
Caryā -चर्या, means lifestyle or behaviour.
Nithyananda Yoga℠ is not a lifestyle for health,
but a lifestyle to build "superhuman" yogic
physiology, experience exuberant bliss and manifest
extraordinary powers and possibilities. It offers a life
beyond what we think is possible.
Nithyananda Yoga℠ is rooted in the timeless Hindu
Vedic-Agamic tradition. It is the revival of this sacred
secret science in its pristine form.
Nithyananda Yoga℠ aims at reviving not only the
spirit in which Sadashiva delivered Yoga, but also the
LETTER - following the exact words of Sadashiva
Himself with integrity. Nithyananda Yoga is based on
the Yoga Pada of Agama, the ancient vedic scriptures.
Yoga is originally a Sanskrit word meaning merging,
uniting, with the Ultimate, the Source, the Creator. As
a matter of fact, it is a complete system to evolve the
body, mind and spirit from human to Superhuman. It
is a science to live and experience Advaita (the state of
Oneness) and to express extraordinary powers.
Nithyananda Yoga is a continuous happening, where
every single moment of life is Yoga with Sadashiva.
Despite the popularity of the word Yoga, real Yoga still
remains unknown to the masses. In the Hindu
traditional scriptures, Yoga has been described as a
lifestyle for ascetics, in remote secluded places,
therefore forgotten over time. For a long time, the
requiring initiation and training from an Enlightened
Guru was limited and missing, keeping this science
only to a few. But now, with the happening of the
Avatar, the initiation became the matter of just one
touch, or one glimpse; one "initiation". Yoga in its most
traditional and authentic form is finally accessible to
enrich the world. Plus, through the advancement of
technology, it will be reaching everybody all over the
world.
Super Consciousness intensely electrocuting your
existence and raising you to the frequency of it's

existence is Deeksha, initiation. Deeksha penetrates all
your three layers, your muscle memory, bio memory,
bio energy. Cutting across the powerless cognitions,
raising you to the highest frequency literally
electrocuting/reverberating your being. Your old
powerless cognitions are just literally bombarded. Your
very cognition is blasted to powerful cognitions. The
Cognitions of Sadashivattva.
Nithyananda Yoga is an initiation into the lifestyle of
Sadashiva, radiating the state of Sadashiva and
manifesting the superhuman powers of Sadashiva.
Sadashiva is a two part Sanskrit word. The first part
"Sada" means eternal. The second part "Shiva" is
commonly translated as God, but refers to the pure
consciousness within everything. "God" is commonly
associated with only three aspects: creation, giving
sustenance, and destruction.
Sadashiva, on the other hand, has five aspects: creation
(Satyojata), giving sustenance (Tatpurusha), destruction
(Aghora), delusion (Vamadeva) and liberation (Ishana).
Paramahamsa Nithyananda explains that we go
through all five of these aspects throughout our daily
lives. The sixth dimension of Sadashiva is unmanifest.
You also have the unmanifest power, means the powers
of Sadashiva.
- To manifests Sadashiva's creativity, bring Integrity.
- To manifest Sadashiva's sustenance energy bring Authenticity.
- To manifest Sadashiva's destruction energy bring Responsibility.
- To manifest Sadashiva's delusion energy and handle it, bring Enriching in your life.
- To manifest Sadashiva's liberation energy, liberating energy, bring Causing in your life.
- Then what will make you manifest the unmanifest, Avyakta of Sadashiva, that is Shaktipata. As much as possible, be in Shaktipata with Sadashiva, the Guru, who is embodiment of Sadashiva. Be in Shaktipata with Him.

Live Sadāshivoham by bringing all these six
powers in your life.
All of you have all these energies. You are using it
every day. By cooking, you are manifesting the
power of creation. By eating, you are manifesting
the power of sustenance. By digesting, you are
manifesting the power of destruction. And, if
something is undigested and your stomach is
sick, you are in the power and energy of
delusion. If the energy of digestion is absorbed,
and you manifest it as powers, you are in the
state of liberation. Every day you manifest all
these five powers, all these five aspects of
Sadashiva. For the unmanifest to manifest in
you, all you need is Shaktinipata —
Shaktinipata means to start living the
instructions and initiations without waiting for
your logic to get convinced. The joy you
experience, when you live, just because He
said, that's it. That joy is called Shaktinipata.
Bring all these six in your life. Add more and
more experiences and you will be adding more
and more Sadāshivoham in you. Let Avyakta
become Vyakta, let unmanifest become manifest.
It is a direct message from Sadashiva, from the
space of Sadashiva, from the place of Sadashiva
to everyone of you, who are literally Sadāshivas.
""
The regular manifestation of Yoga yields
extraordinary physiological, mental,
emotional, and spiritual benefits. Through
the practice of Yoga, one can attain
benefficient accomplishments. He can attain
liberation (moksha), ascend to the state of
ineffable bliss.
