How does one introduce that which is beyond description? How does one talk about the form through which the formless radiates? Can words ever capture the oceanic dimension of the Master? Can the spaceless, boundless energy be framed within the four corners of a single sheet?
The Master is an intimate experience. He is so many things to so many people. He is the innocent child who delights, the loving mother who nurtures and cares, the strong father who provides utter security, the exacting Master who demands total trust and surrender, the beloved beyond your deepest dreams. And yet he is more, much more than all the descriptive words can convey.
He is the vibrant energy that communes in utter silence. The Master neither speaks nor shows; he just is. We each hear what we want to hear; we each see what we want to see. He is beyond space and time and yet, with total compassion, he binds himself so that the warmth of his energy helps your inner blossoming to happen. He is the manifestation of your pristine Self. He is the reminder that you scripted in your personal drama to take you back Home, to the space in which your spirit resides.
He is the divine fragrance of a heavenly flower; the tantalizing music wafting in the breeze; the gurgling laughter of the dancing rivulet. He hides himself well. He is the ultimate illusion playing the game of 'hide and seek' till you find your Self. Then he is no more...there is no other.
Paramahamsa Nithyananda - the luminous light - descended on planet Earth two score and ten years ago in the temple town of Tiruvannamalai, India, the incubator of enlightened souls. What was seen by human eyes as a divine spark has revealed itself to be a blissful conflagration that is igniting the spiritual fire in the hearts of the devout, the believer, the seeker, world over.
Like a forest fire that can no longer be contained, within a short span of 5 years, he has emerged to be the most watched and most heard charismatic Guru of the 21ˢᵗ century. With 4700 hours of recorded discourses and talks in formal and informal settings, this book is an effort to gather and gift a few of the gems that were given so freely, so blissfully as priceless jewels. This is an attempt to do the impossible. Yet, it is a compulsion to share what has been showered.
On the occasion of his 31ˢᵗ Jayanti, this souvenir comes as a labour of love to all fellow beings on planet Earth.
The Master is a gift that Existence offers us so graciously...He is the Ultimate Experience for every individual who has come and gone and yet to come...
