Nithyananda Gurukul - Creating an enlightened generation🔗

auṁ saha nāvavatu | saha nau bhunaktu | saha vīryam karvāvahai | tejasvi nāvadhītamastu mā vidviṣāvahai || auṁ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ ||

"AUM. May we both (the Guru and the disciple), together be protected. May we both be nourished and enriched with knowledge. May we both work with great strength, energy, and enthusiasm. May our study and learning together, illumine us both with the sharp, absolute light of higher intelligence. So be it. May we both not have enmity or incompletion with each other. AUM. Let there be Peace (in my inner space). Peace (in nature). Peace (in the Divine forces)."

~ kṛṣṇā yajurveda, taittriya upaniṣad 2.2.2

"The current system of education established by Macaulay and Max Muller in India is the 'non-involving narrative style' of teaching. The original Indian education system was not about continuously giving words, ideas, concepts, theories, or theologies. It was about awakening you to the right context – Enlightenment. The Indian Education System – the Gurukul - is more of a 'transmission of the knowledge, rather than mere 'transfer' of knowledge. My Gurukul kids will not use their body as a 'PC' that merely processes information that is fed to it. They will function as the 'internet', accessing knowledge from the cosmic archives and having their own inventions and discoveries!"

It is the original Indian Education System of Sanatana Hindu Dharma where students lived with enlightened masters from a tender age, learning the 64 vidyas - types of knowledge. Knowledge was transmitted through the very bio-memory of the master. The children emerged as spiritually anchored geniuses who radiated siddhis (mystical powers) and were high-achievers and world leaders. Nithyananda Gurukul℠ is fast reviving the gurukul education in its entirety not only in India but around the world, spearheaded by living incarnation SPH Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam.

One of the greatest happenings in Nithyananda Gurukul is not only that they are groomed to be the enlightened leaders of tomorrow, but operating with life from the fundamental cognition of life ‘Enriching’. Enriching themselves and others through the free services of Third Eye Powers but also enabling their presence in global efforts and world stage to educate the world population on this most accessible highest form of lifestyle - a lifestyle of Power Manifestation. The image above is the demonstration of one of the foremost Powers of the Third Eye initiated by the Living Avatar, the SPH Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam - Demonstration of the Power of Blindfold Reading at Business Advocacy Summit, Washington D.C., USA

As a result of Whole-Brain Activation, Nithyananda Gurukul℠ students regularly demonstrate an astonishing range of abilities spontaneously, with hardly any formal training, including advanced yoga postures, traditional music and dance, sculpture, clay modeling, jewelry making and crochet, among others.

“Swamiji wants Rabbits and lions, snakes and frogs, all of them to live together happily without hurting each other in Gurukul. From our space of non-violence, we speak to the animals and make them vegetarian and human-friendly. To start with, we spoke to one cat and made it a vegetarian, after which Swamiji blessed the cat to eat only vegetarian food(Now known as Shaiva Pune). Now recently we got a squirrel (Kartikeya) who was doing namaskar for more than 10 minutes to Kala Bhairava! When Swamiji gives us a project, he gives us the energy and power also to make it happen!” - A Nithyananda Gurukul student

Susadha: Described in the Linga Purana, Susadha translates as ‘one who helps to calmly bear the pain.’ This attribute applies not only to the Avatar but also to his disciples, who would have a similar capacity to calmly bear the pain

“Hi, I am Ishwar, I am six years old, and I am going to explain how I broke my hand. Once I went to my friend’s house in the ashram during the holidays. I was sitting on the corner of a plastic chair, and lost my balance, and fell off with such force that I broke my hand. I went up to the third floor to our apartment in the ashram and told my mom that my hand was disconnected. I was not crying, I was just focusing on the pain.

My dad and mom rushed me to Swamiji and told Him that I had broken my hand. Swamiji immediately asked an assistant to call an ambulance and take me to the hospital. In the hospital, they took me to the operation theater and did something... after that, I was in the hospital for four days and then came back home."

“It was the time when Swamiji came to Gurukul and gave us the Third Eye Initiation for the first time. After Swamiji left we immediately started a manifesting powers session. In a few minutes, I started seeing letters and numbers and within 1 hour I started solving puzzles and playing board games. Then next day again we had a manifesting power session, and within 1 1/2 hours I started to read sentences and paragraphs and soon enough in 3 days I was demo ready, and now because of the initiations that Swamiji has given me and so many others, I have been manifesting so many powers, and I have done over 500 demos around the world.”

“In a sudden Satsang, Swamiji was speaking about Powers. When Swamiji was speaking about that, it was going beyond my head. So after Satsang, I was continuing with my routine and after some time Swamiji called all the Balasanths to His courtyard for initiation to awaken our Third Eye. After the initiation, Swamiji told us to go and manifest powers, so we assembled in a row. They told that we are going to manifest powers of Third Eye which is blindfold reading. So they gave me a blindfold and tied my eyes. They gave me a piece of paper with some letters on it. I read the piece of paper which they gave me to read with some mistakes. After some time I removed my eye band and I felt very bad as all other Balasanths were able to read through their third eye; they were demo ready. So I was crying and very powerless for not reading through my third eye. My friends saw me crying and asked me why was I crying and I told them what was happening inside me to my friends. After some time my friends start explaining to me how the third eye is possible. They told me that just have oneness with Swamiji and ask to show the letters or the words. After few minutes, my friends told me, “Come we will manifest third eye reading.” My friends put the eye band on me. I was having that oneness with Swamiji when my friends gave me the piece of paper. I was able to read it very clearly without any mistakes and my friends were clapping their hands. I felt very excited at that time. What I want to tell from this is if you have oneness with Swamiji, it is easy to manifest!”

One week after we came back from a trip to Omkareshwar with Swamiji, my friend and I had to go for a demo in Bangalore. The demo was in a famous place in Karnataka (The Lalbagh Park). It was around 7:00 early in the morning, we were in the park. Our original plan was we will do only the Third Eye Reading, House Scanning, and body scanning. We started with third eye reading, only 20 to 30 people gatehred at the spot. When we started with the body and house scanning around 50 people gathered, then suddenly out of nowhere one person joined the crowd and stepped forward and told us if at all your third eye is really awakened and your Guruji is really great then scan my bag and please say what is inside. At first, we were shocked, we never tried this one and how 50 people have gathered and that man had brought more of his own people. At that time something stuck me, ‘Hey come on, you are representing Swamiji here and it is Him who is manifesting through you, then why should you get scared? Come on let's do this!’ Immediately the next moment I just held onto my mala’s dollar tightly and within seconds Swamiji showed me a blue pen with a black cap, a bunch of keys, and a bundle of money tied with a green rubber band. The man opened his pouch in front of the crowd and clapped aloud. Then all the 50- 60 people who stood there were stunned and also loudly clapped. Then without speaking another word the man just closed his pouch and escaped through the crowd.

Spiritual name: Ma Nithya Atma Location: USA “As a child, I was strongly attached to my dad, and as long as he was around I would feel safe and more comfortable with life. Around the age of 50, his life took a radical spiritual turn and he became a healer. One morning when he was alone in his office, he began experiencing a heart attack. He later shared with me that he met the attack fearlessly, and survived through prayer alone. Recently, during an Akashic Reading, I asked Kalabhairava about his interest in India. Kalabhairava said that in a past life, he was a student of Totapuri, Sri Ramakrishna’s teacher. I had to research this after receiving this information, and the connections make perfect sense. This explains so much my deep connection to him!”

Spiritual name: Sri Nithya Sundareshwarananda Age: 12 (at the time of the incident) Student of Nithyananda Gurukul "During an Akashic Readings session in Kodaikanal, the children of Nithyananda Gurukul got an opportunity to ask their questions to Kalabhairava. I asked Kalabhairava, ‘I heard that footprints appeared on the Dalai Lama’s skull, showing the directions to the next Dalai Lama… what is the science and the reason behind this?’ Kalabhairava replied, ‘All enlightened beings and incarnations leave their body in this way only. Shave your head, I will show you my footprints!’ When I shaved my head, I found that indeed there was a clear mark of footprints on the crown of my head!’ There was no way anyone could have made that other than Kalabhairava himself!"

Name: Devi Location: Coimbatore, India "I would like to share a friend’s experience that happened at Kalabhairava darshan. She is also Swamiji’s devotee and was in love with a guy, but was not able to marry him due to severe opposition from her family. She had Kalabhairava darshan in 2011 and asked Swamiji about when she would get married. Swamiji replied that she will get married in December 2015, to the same person who she is in love with now. Four years later, she got married to the same guy in December 2015, just as Swamiji predicted. There were a lot of struggles with her family, but they both finally overcame all struggles and got married as per His Blessings."

Sanskrit being a highly sophisticated and phonetic language, the very sounds are embedded with the subtle aspect of their meaning. Thus, a truth transmitted orally from a Guru to a receptive disciple would directly penetrate and alter the bio-memory of the disciple, without even the need for active participation from the disciple’s logical faculties. Mantras (syllables carrying a conscious vibration), shastras (expositions of the Truth), stotras (expressions of devotional ecstasy), and sutras (compact spiritual techniques) were all transmitted orally from Guru to disciple as part of a committed learning process. Apart from embedding the meaning of the words in the bio-memory of the disciple, this form of transmission carried the power to raise the vibrational frequency of the learner, simply through his listening and repetition. Learners were frequently ‘eka-santha-grahis’, able to imbibe and reproduce an entire lesson after a single listening. Several students of Nithyananda Gurukul℠ have also demonstrated this rare capability.

For me, there is no difference between a wish and a will

Name: Ma Nithya Yogamatananda Age: 9 Student of Nithyananda Gurukul℠ “When I do blindfold reading, it looks like everything is just coming like an image. It just pops up and goes. How I look at it is, just like an image - sometimes an image, or sometimes like how I look around, like with my normal two eyes. You should be first self- confident when it comes, then with that confidence, it will benefit you with everything. For me, there is no difference between a wish and a will. For example, when I want a toy and I wish for it, then it just happens. I just wish, I want a Lego and it just happens!”

I am learning from Yogamata every day!

Name: Ma Nithya Shivajnanananda (mother of Ma Nithya Yogamatananda) Location: USA “Yogamata is showing me every day what it means to believe in yourself and know that you can do anything. Anything is really possible! The way she approaches life or tackles problems is so beautiful and inspiring. She expresses so much intelligence and maturity; she is able to learn new subjects so quickly after the initiation. We knew that when we enrolled her in the Gurukul, Swamiji was going to teach her to be successful and a better human being - but we never expected this!”

I can read languages which I don’t know!

Name: Ma Nithya Prajnananda Age: 13 Student of Nithyananda Gurukul℠ “After Swamiji awakened my Third Eye, I am able to read comfortably even when blindfolded. The most surprising thing is that I am able to read languages like Tamil and Gujarati, which I normally don’t know how to read! After these experiences, I feel that I have transformed a lot.”

Debbie Chance Ph.D. in Education School Administrator, Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools North Carolina, USA “ General observations Gurukul students were mature and very respectful of the adults, of me, and of each other. They were highly attentive and conscious of the needs of other students and were frequently observed dressing, helping, nurturing, and problem-solving with each other. This was regardless of age; even young students assisted older ones and helped teachers as well.

De-escalation of conflict There was no competition or comparison, and no aggression except for a few times, which was immediately solved by a self-appointed group of ‘de-escalators’ who intervened quickly, asking questions like, ‘Are you in the space of Shivoham?’ Or, ‘How can you get in the space of Shivoham now?’ One young student was observed crying and hitting another older student multiple times. This older student just ‘took the hits’ and moved away. Within five minutes, he had ‘completed’ with the de-escalators, and moved on.

Response to pain School Administrator was presented with a student with pain in the body. She asked the students, ‘What is pain?’ and ‘Can you take care of it?’ The student said yes and went away. The administrator was observed allowing students to be self-directed in the classroom, assigning work with flexible time limits, and students could pace themselves - play or sleep, play with beads, and do whatever, so long as they finished the assignment according to the parameters.

Restful awareness Basically, the group functions as a WHOLE and they appear to be able to sit quietly for long periods of time in restful awareness. There is no picking-on, harassing, fighting, put-downs, as one would expect in a ‘normal’ school. On one occasion dinner was late, and they waited quietly for over an hour with no complaints.

Adult-type behavior Students assume responsibility for adult-type behaviors like re-directing, advising, questioning, and actively listening to each other. One 7-year-old after finishing his report, spelling, and printing correctly, got up walked over to another student, and helped him to write and spell for his report. Another 11-year-old frequently directed the whole class, “Everyone be in the space of listening”. Of course, everyone listened, and the re-direction happened easily.

Students also take responsibility for helping one another ‘complete’ themselves by asking relevant questions to facilitate each other’s understanding of the completion process. Students would not allow themselves or others to be in the space of powerlessness. Completion happened constantly. They appeared to be a self-correcting, inter-woven network of completion.

Students challenge each other to grow into higher states of social and emotional functioning by actively facilitating the thinking/understanding of the common goal: Living in the state of Enlightenment. Students used a common language that was based on the common goal of living in a state of balanced emotional maturity. Where else would you find over 100 students of all ages in one big room, sitting together, eating together, just being together, in such silence?

The incident of rose plants in the Nithyananda Gurukul℠ garden dropping thorns A surprising incident that was brought to our notice was that the children's garden of the Gurukul had dropped their thorns after being counselled by the students, and assured them that there was no danger to them, and no need to keep their thorns to defend themselves. I personally investigated this with my team, spending some time in the garden during the students' counselling session.

Observation Students sat with their roses for approximately 20-30 minutes per day. Some caressed the leaves, some sat quietly, some talked to each other, yet they were sitting casually... not praying, speaking to the plant, or exhibiting any obvious behavior... yet the majority of the plants had dropped their thorns.
