What is Initiation?

Diksha, or Deeksha: Grace bestowed by the Master and the energy transferred by Master on disciple; may be through a mantra, a touch, a glance or even a thought.
Rishi means Mantra Drashta – one who sees the mantra.
Mantra means – “manana traayate iti mantraha” – the words which show higher experience to man. That which leads you to higher truth, experience. Shankara very beautifully explains the initiation with a very powerful example called ‘bramarakitanyaya’. In English if I translate that ‘bramarakitanyaya’ it will be called as ‘bee logic’. Bramharikita means when a bee wants to expand its family, it goes and picks up few worms and make a small mud shell and keeps the worm inside, worms inside; sits in the entrance entry point, goes on creating intense sound. That sound is mantra diksha, initiation. In that sound the worms will become bee. Just using the sense of sound, the bee is able to reproduce. It doesn’t need any other organ for reproduction.
Background: Human DNA can be reprogrammed
Russian scientist Grazyna Fosar and Franz Bludorf quote
1. ‘The human DNA is a biological internet, with evidence that DNA can be influenced and reprogrammed by words and frequencies.’ The words and frequencies can directly programme our DNA; it is biological internet. They call it as biological internet.
2. These Russian scientists reveal that genetic code of 90% of the junk DNA or dormant DNA which the SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam was revealing as the Jivatman, Self in all of us; the part which these people call as junk DNA or dormant DNA but He call as Jivatman DNA, Self-DNA; 90% of the Jivatman DNA follows the rules of human languages.
3. The third important revelation, Grazyna Fosar and Franz Bludorf compared the rule of syntax. ‘The way in which words are put together to form phrases and sentences and semantics, study of meaning in language and grammar and found out that alkalines of our DNA follow a regular grammar and set rules like our language.’ The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam recollects –
Always Raghupati Yogi used to tell Me... he will teach different yoga for different parts of the body. See for hands he will give some yoga, for eyes he will give some yoga, for tongue he will give some yoga, for nose he will give some yoga and the
SPH JGM Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam, “Genetic science behind initiation”, 21 Oct 2010, Morning Message,
Bidadi, India, Available online: Nithyanandapedia, https://nithyanandapedia.org/wiki/October_21_2010
most difficult part to work out is the cheek. Even for that he has some yoga, he will give some yoga. When I asked him, “what is the yoga for brain”, he will categorically tell, chant Sanskrit. The Sanskrit language, learn sanskrit language, chant sanskrit mantras. I used to be surprised, how can brain have yoga by sanskrit? He will insist that I chant that surya namaskar mantras during the postures. He will insist that mantra chanting is done. I used to ask “how can mantra have yoga for brain?” But now I know it’s true.
I can tell you from My experience, whatever is said and done, a person who speaks decent cultured language, naturally behaves, lives, thinks decently and culturally. I am really telling you; because I wandered length and breadth of India I have seen all kinds of dialects, people who speak dialects. I have seen Tamil alone 20 versions, Kongu Tamil and Madurai, Chennai, in Chennai, Kuvam Tamil and North Arcot district Tamil. In that there are different language, Mudaliyar Tamil, Gounder Tamil. All kinds of dialects I have seen. And in north, the different dialects of Bengali, different dialects of Hindi, I have seen. I tell you, from My experience I can tell you, the language, the standard of language a person speaks directly affects the way in which he thinks, the way in which he acts; it really affects.
There may be exemptions, very few. Like a person speaking very cultural language and behaving indecently; very rare exemption. But as a nature it doesn't happen. As a rule, it’s a rule. Exemptions does not break the rule, it only enforces the possibility of existence of the rule. Understand when I say all these candies are sweet, there may be one or two which are not sweet. That does not mean that rule is broken or weakened, those two three exemptions ensures the existence of the rule. Look in the other side, look from the other side. All exemptions ensure the existence of the greater possibility of the rule.
So maybe one or two exemptions, but otherwise I can say, the language they speak, the cultural, cultured, clear, syntax semantics grammar they use, directly affects the alkalines of our DNA. That is why the neuro linguistic programming, NLP really does a big transformation. I can tell you, see NLP is not all, it does not lead to enlightenment, but it surely awakens much more than what you are now. The neuro linguistic programming surely makes you more alive than what you are now.
4. The next important discovery, truth, scientist Gorge Jave says: Our DNA can be reprogrammed by speech when words are modulated on correct carrier and frequencies. The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam elaborates –
Again and again and again the Upanishads are chanted for so many different purposes. Not only your DNA can be altered, I tell you, the Upanishads came from such a high frequency, if a group of people whose DNAs are already altered by this chanting, if they chant, the cosmic DNA can be altered. That is why the chanting and homa brings rain. It brings whatever we need, the natural positive effects. Why do you think such big Tsunami did not touch single temple? See all over, from Kanyakumari to Chennai, at least 2000 temples are there in which compounds usually gets washed by the wave, at least 2000.
Please understand, from Kanyakumari to Chennai, first of all let us start with Kanyakumari Devi temple, from that to Chennai Thiruvottiyur, Kashi Vishwanath Temple and Pattinathar Samadhi; at least 2000 temples are there - Thiruchendur, Thoothukudi Not a single temple was broken or damaged or disturbed. We may say “No, no, no, coincidence”. No!!! If people whose DNAs are altered, reprogrammed by the sounds and mantras and frequencies, if they sit together and create those frequencies and sounds, the cosmos DNA can be reprogrammed. So a space, bit of cosmos which is reprogrammed by the reprogrammed system of the body of the Master is energy field. Bit of the cosmos which is reprogrammed by the reprogrammed body of the master is energy field. That is why just very living in that field reprograms many of our DNA.
Words and Sentences of Proper Frequencies Is Initiation
Next truth: ‘Since the basic structure of DNA and language is of same structure, one can simply use words and sentences of human language of proper frequencies. This proves DNA reacts to spoken words, with proper frequencies; directly’. The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam elaborates –
This is My own conclusion, because of these researches, these researches directly or indirectly explains and proves how affirmations, hypnosis, words from spiritual masters affect your body and mind directly. This is the power of initiation; the process. Many of you people would have seen the video of people levitating during LEP. If you have attended LEP you would have seen. I did not do anything. All I did is, “let your samana be balanced, let the air energy inside you be balanced, let whatever happens inside your body happen”; that’s all. Affirmation - Satya Sankalpa, nothing else. Satya sankalpa; over. Immediately the whole thing fell in place. People started levitating; the raising.
Understand, ordinary Sankalpa is gravitation, Satya Sankalpa is levitation. Sankalpa, ordinary Sankalpa means will, words, thoughts created, pulls you down, makes you more heavy. Satya sankalpa makes you levitate. That is why whatever is said and done, when you listen to the great truths directly from Master, it just gets recorded into your DNA, becomes part of your DNA. This is the science why millions come to listen to the masters and how the master's words directly gives experience to people. That’s what I call transmission of lamp; initiation. From a lit fire only you can light the lamp. How much ever you sit and beg, please, please, why don't you lit yourself, how much ever you play and do any drama, any game, light cannot be lit by itself. Only from the lit fire it can be lit; transmission of lamp only can happen. Same way how much ever you sit and talk in ordinary way, no. Only the reprogrammed DNA can transmit that frequency and right words and reprogram your DNA. That process only I call initiation.
Incarnation Programs Your DNA Through Initiation
If we sit and listen to the truth from an ordinary man who has intellectually memorized it, it is called learning, teaching, and learning. If we sit and listen to a man who himself is practicing those truths, he is called Acharya, we are called Shishya. If we sit and listen to those truths who has experienced it, He is called Guru we are a Shishya. If we are listening to those truths from a Being whose very DNA is programmed, it is called initiation. He is an incarnation; we are a devotee. It is called initiation.
Initiation into Power of Going Beyond Pain, Hunger and Thirst
The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam reveals how initiation helps us go beyond pain, hunger, and thrist –
In My life there is an experience with a group of Tibetan monks. They made Me sit inside the bell. Some ten monks sit around the bell and rub the bell and go on chanting. I can never realize; I never realized the sound can create pain in your air holes; hair holes in your pore. The bell has small holes through which I can breathe. But all the ten sides they are sitting and rubbing the bell with a small wooden piece. That vibration created, that sound, within five minutes your ear stops listening that sound. You can't hear it anymore. But every hair pore feels the pain as if a needle is being inserted and after half an hour the pain also disappears. It becomes like a pleasure, very strong deep pleasure. Then they chant the words like you are deathless, you are painless, you have no hunger, you have no thirst, you have no old age, they chant like this. I now translated in negative way. They don't say you have no old age, they say you are ever young, they say you are always fulfilled, you are immortal. They declare in positive terms.
And I was really shocked because first I thought what this can do, it may be a ceremony. I love usually these ceremonies, anywhere any ceremony I see, I'll go and sit. Whether it is a shraddha or I'll not bother. Whether it is some, what to say, some sanyas ceremony is going on or some shraddha is going on, some ceremony is going on I'll go and sit. So I saw some ceremony going on. I asked, "Will you allow Me?" They said, "Are you a sanyasi?" I said, "Yes, I left the house long before." Then they put Me in that ceremony, I started attending. Then I realized, now I can realize completely, the frequencies and language can reprogramme your DNA. I can tell you still I do not have anything called pain in My body.
If you have seen Me ten days before in Himalayas, 10-15 days before there was a big wound, at least 4-5 inch wound, long, may be quarter inch depth. There was a bleeding and big wound. It took five days for Me to realize there was a wound. There was a, something has happened to the hand; some brahmachari saw and told Me. By the time it got healed by itself. Even though body is ordinary body, there is no such thing as pain; still it takes so much to push the food inside My system because there is no such thing as hunger. People have to remind Me to drink water continuously, because there is no thirst.
The DNA reprogramming; the power of DNAs reprogramming. So your DNA can be reprogrammed by the right words, right chantings, right initiation from the incarnation whose DNA is completely reprogrammed. That is why the words heard from the master spreads inside you like a fire and makes you experience.
And another one thing, very funny thing; I'll tell you My experience then I'll give you the research truth. Now if you are seeing our website continuously these eN Kalpatarus are going on, E kalpatarus. And I'm talking in more than 20 different languages, Spanish, Portugese, Slovakian, Germany and what not, Chinese, Gujarati, Bengali, Hindi, Punjabi. No really, 20 different international languages I am talking. People may be thinking what is going on? Nothing!!!! I just pick up usually the statements which I use in Kalpataru; the blessings. I pick up those statements and get the translation and read them. From those few statements I try to manage at least the basic conversation so that people will feel connected.
During this exercise I realised one important thing - all European languages, the words are almost same, and all Vedic languages the pronunciations are almost same - like Aashirwad - that word is common in all Indian language. Aashirwad is Aashirwad; that's all. And same way, the blessing - only little bit of alteration you need to do - Felicitado, bendición; only small difference. But almost same tone in all European languages.
I was surprised how come the languages happened in different, different places, how come they all have large similar pronunciation and so much of grammar; almost same symmetrical grammar. Now I know from this research scientist Gorge Jave says human language did not appear coincidentally but it is a reflection of our DNA. That is why Kashmir to Kanyakumari, when there was no communication like telephone, television, telegram anything, Sahana bhavatu is chanted in same frequency. Go to Kashmir saivites temples aur Bhavani Mandir or Vaishno Devi and go to Kanyakumari Kannagi Bhagavathy mandir. You will see Sahana bhavatu and poornamidam being chanted in same tone, same frequency. So the language is not just coincident, it is the reflection of our DNA.
Q&A
In several questions and answer sessions the SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam answers several common doubts and concerns on these topics –
1. Respected guruji, I have received diksha from my guru and know the relationship of guru-disciple. My guru took samadhi in 1952 and I gathered all his teachings from his book and trying to apply to me. I never saw my guru in person. Now, since I met you and listened to your discourses everyday, I have experienced that Lord Krishna is talking directly to me from the Bhagavad Gita and it is very beautiful experience. I do not want to let it go. I have the fear that I am greedy or I can have 2 gurus in my life. Please explain that I am not going to turn into dhobi ka kutta na ghar ka na ghaat ka or do ghar ka mehmaan bhooka jaata hai.
In Hindi, she has written. Please be very clear: Ramakrishna answers this question very clearly, you can have as many gurus as possible. At least with my disciples I tell, whomsoever is initiated by me, I always tell them, not only I allow you to go wherever you want, I encourage you to go and learn wherever you want. Pluck the flowers from all the beautiful gardens and make a beautiful bouquet. I think I said this same idea few days ago: Pluck the flowers from all the beautiful gardens and make a beautiful bouquet, beautiful garland for yourself. One more thing: our ego is such, even if it is beaten from all thousand sides, it will not die. How can you expect that to be killed just by 1 person? So, let you learn from all sides. Let your ego be crushed from all sides. All we need is you growing, that’s all, you experiencing the truth, that’s all. Wherever you experience, don’t miss the chance. Wherever you get the chance, never miss it. And be very clear: don’t go to a person who says don’t go to others, that’s all. Just to safeguard your freedom, just to keep your freedom with yourself. Other than that, you are completely not only free to go, you are encouraged to learn. So, I tell you, you don’t have to feel guilty. You don’t have to feel you are doing something wrong if you listen to his teachings or if you practice me and I can be sure I won’t have any problem with your master and after all he has passed away; I will talk to him directly; don’t bother about it. We will have our understanding; you don’t have to worry about it. Relax and enjoy. When we deeply feel connected, the very connectivity is enough. Nothing else is necessary. That itself can guide you...that itself can guide you. One more important thing: please understand, to whom you feel connected is not at all important. To whom you surrender is not at all important, this is one more important thing. I can say one more business secret, how Krishna says rajavidya rajavihyam, secret of secrets, this is one more business secret. Let me tell you these business secrets which nobody reveals usually because based on these secrets only the whole business is built. But, I am very clear, let me tell you the whole thing. Be very clear: to whom you surrender is not at all important. The very attitude of surrender, the very attitude of feeling connected will liberate you. That is enough; it will liberate you. Nothing else is necessary. The very intensity has got power. The very attitude of surrender has got the power to transform your life. Nothing else is necessary.
2. Dear Swamiji, can you please expand on the mental, physical and spiritual benefits of Nayana Deeksha.
First thing, mental benefit, you don't need, any other witness. Just now you see, because I could see, I told Shivangi, Aye, don't sleep, do sit up, I could tell. Means, you will attend the Satsang directly in my supervision. I'll ensure that you receive it. Physical-when you really receive it, naturally, it is going to transform you physically and spiritually. Nayana-Deeksha is more like ensuring, that you are attending. Because, sometimes, if these guys don't come for two-three days, I don't keep quiet, I immediately send a mail to them, Aye, what happened, I am not seeing you; or next time when they come, I'll catch them. You see, now I am already um..I have marked in my attendance, Jayesh Ba (30:58) is not attending for last many days in Phoenix. So next time when he comes, I am going to catch him, Jayesh Ba (31:05) what is happening, you are not attending properly.
So I have my own attendance. First thing, I make sure that you catch the truth. Second thing, especially during Kriyas, I make sure, that you are doing it properly. Apart from that, there are some more Mystical benefits. That is more Mystical, like more than you seeing the Master, if Master sees you, you will stay in his heart. Understand. When you remember me, you are doing the best thing you can do to yourself. When I remember you, Cosmos does the best thing it can do to you. So Nithya Sevika, that's a reason, I always recommend people to come on two-way Nayana Deeksha. Come on. Next.
3. Do you initiate only the people who are sitting live with you directly watching your satsang, or people like us who can't watch directly, who can watch only through the
YouTube, the recorded discourse later on? Do you initiate us also who watch the discourses later on, through the YouTube, through the recording?138
I wanted them to know... please understand... the initiation happens whenever you melt down with a deep trust and feeling connection with the Master. When you melt down with a trust and deep connection, you are sitting live with me. You are coming alive with me, I am coming alive with you. Please understand. Here, I am making an important statement. A sincere seeker, a sincere disciple, when he sits with a deep melting, relaxed mood with a Master, not only Master comes alive with the disciple; disciples also come, disciple also comes alive with the Master. Please understand, not only disciple feels fulfilled, Master also feels fulfilled. When a sincere seeker melts down in the deep trust and relaxes, the transmission of the lamp happens automatically.
If you are sitting with a deep trust, and a relaxed mood; understand, I am alive with you, you are alive with me. When a sincere seeker sits around me, not only he is fulfilled, I am also fulfilled. My mission is getting fulfilled. A sincere seeker when you sit around me, I don't even expect you to do puja to me, or meditate, or do any rituals. Just if you sit around me, not only you are fulfilled - you are feeling the fulfillment, I am also feeling the fulfillment. When a sincere seekers come and sit with me, I am also happy. A sincere seeker deeply fulfills a Master. When you melt down and sit with the deep trust, the connection happens, the initiation happens, the transmission of lamp happens. But one thing, if you have the habit of coming and sitting in the morning satsang, not only the initiation will happen, you will practice these techniques systematically, and, the next, next, next evolving will be more easy.
See there are so many instructions and understandings which I add continuously every day. If you are watching the recorded discourse in YouTube, you will not be watching in proper time. Today's session you may watch tomorrow, and yesterday's session you may watch day after tomorrow. The timing may not be proper. So only those difficulties should be avoided. If you are watching the recorded discourse in YouTube, decide every day you will sit only at particular time. Watch only the last day - yesterday's discourse. That's it. So have that habit of maintaining that continuity. Don’t change the number, the dates and time of the discourses. If you have the continuity, you will have the same effect of watching the live NTV. When a sincere seeker sits with the Master, thousands of things happen in their system. Upanishad, completely awakens your inner being, the inner self.
