Kailasa

KAILASA was created with the determination to not just preserve and protect Sanatana Hindu Dharma and share it with the entire world, but also to share the story of persecution that is yet unknown to the world. Towards this goal, KAILASA is dedicated to the preservation, restoration and revival of an enlightened culture and civilization based on authentic Hinduism.

Mission of Kailasa

KAILASA is a nation created by dispossessed Hindus from around the world who lost the right to practice Hinduism authentically in their own countries.

Though the KAILASA movement is founded in the United States, and spearheaded by members of the Hindu Adi Shaivite minority community, it is created for, and offers a safe haven to all the world's practicing, aspiring or persecuted Hindus, irrespective of race, gender, sect, caste, or creed, where they can peacefully live and express their spirituality, arts, and culture free from denigration, interference and violence.

Vision of Kailasa

The vision of KAILASA is enlightened living for all of humanity which is rooted in the fundamental principle of Advaita or Oneness – the idea that all beings can live in peace and harmony, and that all human beings are equal and divine, and can reach their highest potential irrespective of their color, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, caste, creed or race.

What is Hinduism?

Hinduism represents the world's most ancient yet progressive indigenous spiritual tradition. It is an open framework model of civilization that stands for nonviolence, vegetarianism, worship of nature, organic lifestyle, temple-based living, yoga, manifesting spiritual powers, and the inherent divinity of every being. Hinduism comprises many indigenous spiritual traditions coexisting peacefully for millennia.

The Hindu Holocaust - Persecution of Hinduism

The Hindu Holocaust is a stark epitome of a "campaign of race extermination" through a systematic, egregious and ongoing ethnic cleansing, forced relocation, double killing through genocide and genocide denial over the last 5000 years on the most ancient living civilization on the planet. Denied by the historians and untold by its victimized survivors, the Hindu holocaust is one of the biggest "crimes against humanity" in world history. Hindus have time and again suffered religious persecution in the form of forceful conversions, massacres, demolition and desecration of temples, confiscation or destruction of property, incitement to hate, imprisonment, torture, murder, destruction of universities and schools and crimes against women and children.

The Systematic Elimination of Hindus

Hinduism was once practiced freely in over 56 nations across the continent from Afghanistan, India, Nepal, Burma, Sri Lanka, all the way to Singapore, Malaysia, and Cambodia and Indonesia, and in 200 states, 1700 samasthanas (provinces) and 10,000 sampradayas (traditions). Over several centuries the combined forces of foreign invasion, political upheaval, colonialism and religious persecution systematically ended millennia of Hindu Swarajya, or self-rule. Today Hindu temples remain in few countries but the Hindus who worshipped in them have been ethnically cleansed.

Double Killing - Holocaust and Its Denial

Hindus are the victims of the double killing of Holocaust and denial of Holocaust. Denying the largest Holocaust which has been shockingly going on since 5000 years of history will continue to go on in the future unless cognized first and corrected thereafter. The denial of the Holocaust through distortion of history and ideological indoctrination is the last act of a crime in the Holocaust and the heralding of the next crime. The strategy is to first obfuscate and obliterate a people; then obfuscate and obliterate their memory; and, finally, seek to obfuscate and obliterate the memory of the obfuscation and obliteration. This strategy has been successful as today nobody knows or speaks of the unbroken continuum of annihilation of the Hindus?

Ongoing Hindu Holocaust

Thousands of documents totaling 2,42,000 pages and 14000 hours of video recording in the National Archives of Kailasa support the truth: Hindus in just the last two decades under the regime of His Divine Holiness Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam, the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism and the reigning Emperor of the 17 Hindu kingdoms today, were persecuted, subjected to inhuman physical, mental and emotional abuse and slavery, violently deprived of their cultural and religious identity, and systematically exterminated by the anti-Hindu terrorist forces and atheist sympathizers.

02 Economics

Material abundance without exploitation: Hindu economic policy resulted in India becoming the world's wealthiest country. Prior to British rule, India represented a whopping 25% of global GDP. If we include civilizations that emulated Hindu economic policy, the number jumps to 60%.

Material abundance was the lifestyle of all Hindus and fundamental needs such as food, education, and healthcare were offered to all citizens free of charge as a basic right.

Phase 1: Islamic Invasions

800-1700 A.D.

The physical destruction of Hindu civilization

"The Mohammedan conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. The Islamic historians and scholars have recorded with great glee and pride the slaughters of Hindus, forced conversions, abduction of Hindu women and children to slave markets and the destruction of temples carried out by the warriors of Islam during 800 A.D. to 1700 A.D. Millions of Hindus were converted to Islam by sword during this period." Millions more were raped and murdered and dismembered,

"The conquering armies burnt villages, devastated the land, plundered people's wealth. Took Brahmins and children and women of all classes captive, flogged with thongs of rawhide, carried a moving prison with them, and converted the prisoners into obsequious Turks."

Genocide endorsed by Islamic law

"If the infidels, upon receiving the call [to convert to Islam], neither consent to it nor agree to pay capitation tax, it is then incumbent on the Muslims to call upon God for assistance, and to make war upon them, because God is the assistant of those who serve Him, and the destroyer of His enemies, the infidels, and it is necessary to implore His aid upon every occasion; the Prophet, moreover, commands us so to do. And having so done, the Muslims must then with God's assistance attack the infidels with all manner of warlike engines (as the Prophet did by the people of Ta'if), and must also set fire to their habitations (in the same manner as the Prophet fired Baweera), and must inundate them with water and tear up their plantations and tread down their grain because by these means they will become weakened, and their resolution will fail and their force be broken; these means are, therefore, all sanctified by the law."

Al-Hidayah (1197), one of the most influential works of Sunni jurisprudence

The Rape of a Continent

The Rape of a Continent

"Hindus are like the mud; if silver is demanded from them, they must with the greatest humility offer gold. If a Mohammedan desires to spit into a Hindu's mouth, the Hindu should open it wide for the purpose. God created the Hindus to be slaves of the Mohammedans. The Prophet hath ordained that, if the Hindus do not accept Islam, they should be imprisoned, tortured, and finally put to death, and their property confiscated. To keep the Hindus in abasement is especially a religious duty, because they are the most inveterate enemies of the Prophet. "

Abdullah Wassaf, Tazjiyat-ul-Amsar (1606), describing the Islamic law prescribed for Hindus as conveyed to Alauddin Khilji by his qazi, or legal adviser.

"The Raja of Nagrakote, after sustaining some loss, submitted, but was restored to his dominions. The name of Nagrakote was on this occasion changed to that of Mahomedabad. Sultan Feroze, on this occasion, broke the idols of Nagrakote, and mixing the fragments with pieces of cow's flesh, filled bags with them, and caused them to be tied round the necks of Brahmins, who were then paraded through the camp. It is said, also, that he sent the image of Nowshaba to Mecca to be thrown on the road that it might be trodden under foot by the pilgrims."

Afterwards their wives were killed and tied by their hair to these pales. Little children were massacred on the bosoms of their mothers and their corpses left there."

As for religion, no people ... have ever drawn a more gross and disgusting picture of the universe than what is presented in the writings of the Hindus....Very few words are required [regarding Islam]; because the superiority of the Mahomedans in respect of religion is beyond all dispute. In truth the Hindu, like the eunuch, excels in the qualities of a slave ... the Mahomedan is more manly."

Divide and Rule

"The British had been horrified, during the Revolt of 1857, to see Hindus and Muslims fighting side by side and under each other's command against the foreign oppressor. They vowed this would not happen again. "Divide et impera ("Divide and Rule") was an old Roman maxim, and it shall be ours", wrote Lord Elphinstone. A systematic policy of fomenting separate consciousness among the two communities was launched, with overt British sponsorship."

Shashi Tharoor, MP Indian Parliament, Era of Darkness (2016)

HOW EMPIRE BUILDERS USED DIVIDE AND RULE

THE strategy of 'Divide and
Rule' was a central principle
of British imperial policy for
more than two centuries.

By keeping different ethnic
groups segregated, and allow-
ing them to squabble among
themselves, the idea was
they would be too tired to
overthrow their colonial
masters.

As empires expanded,
tribal groups were
classified on the basis
of language, religion,
and ethnicity and
given different rights.
A toxic example was
in Rwanda where the
Belgians segregated the Hutu
and Tutsis. The lighter-skinned
Tutsis were given land and
privilege, while the Hutu were
made to do labouring work.
After the Belgians withdrew,
ethnic divisions led to the
massacre of 900,000 Tutsis.

In India, rivalries between
warring states and religious
groups were exploited by the
British.

But in the months leading
up to independence, the
divisions spilled over into
violence as the sub-conti-
nent split into predomi-
nantly Hindu India and
Muslim Pakistan.

Colonial Subjugation

The British Empire used all possible means to destroy Hindu civil and cultural institutions in order to delegitimize and demoralize the indigenous peoples of India so they would become slaves in their own homeland:

01 | Discriminatory laws to instill feelings of racial inferiority

02 | Engineered famines to starve natives into submission

03 | Annexed Hindu kingdoms to undermine native rule

04 | Mistranslated Hindu scriptures to instill anti-Hindu narratives

05 | Destroyed indigenous gurukul education system

06 | Destroyed local industries and forced importation of British goods

07 | Banned Indians from owning or producing firearms

Engineered famines to break the spirit of a people

“I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion. The famine was their own fault for breeding like rabbits.”

Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (1943) Harsh British tax and export policies and poor infrastructure management caused multiple famines in India claiming tens of millions of lives, most recently in Bengal in 1943. Indians were forced to eat leaves, grass and human flesh and parents threw their starving children into rivers and wells while others committed suicide to escape their living hell.

Destroying local industry to ensure dependence and poverty

Prior to colonial rule, India was the world’s leading textile manufacturer and produced the finest fabrics. The British engaged in a systematic campaign to destroy the local handloom industry through harsh taxation and export policies that forced India to import British-made textiles and banned Indian textiles from being sold in foreign markets. Within a generation, Indian weavers were turned into beggars and their indigenous skills were lost forever.

Destroying local industry to ensure dependence and poverty

By 1878 Indian railway mechanics in Jamalpur in Bengal and Ajmer in Rajputana had become so proficient at maintaining locomotive trains that they started designing and building their own models at a fraction of the cost of imported British trains. The British Parliament responded by passing an Act in 1912 banning all local manufacture of trains to ensure India's economic dependence on their colonial masters and destroy native technological know how.

False Anti-Hindu Narratives

British rulers perpetuated the narrative that Indians were generally illiterate and education was restricted to high-caste Hindus, but their own surveys revealed that every village had at least one school and Sudras and other low-caste children constituted 70-84% of students. In contrast, a century of direct British misrule of India left the population with a dismal 12% literacy rate.

Converting native Hindu Rajas into proper British gentlemen

"Concerned at the rising awareness of nationalism after the Indian Mutiny of 1857, the British realized that to strengthen their hold in India they, being just a handful, needed to widen their political and psychological management of India and the Indians. Thus they began to focus on the education of Native Princes and the pursuit of the objective in Macaulay's Minute on Education of 1837 'to create a class of people-Indian in Blood and Color but English in opinions, in morals and in Intellect' became the cornerstone of their strategy."

Communities Criminal Tribes Act of 1871

The British government passed the Criminal Tribes Act where various ethnic communities were deemed subversive to colonial authority simply because they did not conform to their idea of 'civilized living'. Targeted populations, such as sadhus, sanyasis, tribals, nomads, gypsies and sudras, were presumed guilty by birth, murdered, raped, arrested, had children separated from parents, and held in penal colonies or quarantined without conviction or due process. Upon release from British custody, targeted communities were subject to surveillance and given tattoos to stigmatize them and make them easier to track.

The image of the thuggee was promoted worldwide as an example of all that was wrong with India.

In addition to denigrating Hindu culture, the narrative of the thuggee menace was also used to justify colonial rule, suspend civil liberties and target subversive elements that challenged British hegemony.

Post-Independence, the Indian State continued the British policy of taxing and managing the wealth and properties of all major Hindu temples despite claiming to be a 'secular' state. Their governance of Hindu temples has been fraught with mismanagement, neglect corruption, theft of jewels and deities and alienation of temple land:

"Many temples constructed at least 1,500 years ago or much before the temples recognized by UNESCO are in ruins. Even the daily rituals are not performed. Some temples remain closed throughout the day with no one to even light the lamps."

The Case of Sabarimala - Anti-Hindu Activism

Lord Ayyappa

The Sabarimala temple dedicated to Lord Ayyappa in Kerala, South India represents one of Hinduism's unique spiritual ecosystems. The form of the Ayyappa worshipped at Sabarimala is Naishtik Bramhachari, a strict celibate. As such, women of reproductive age are forbidden to enter the temple out of respect for Ayyappa and to maintain the sanctity of the spiritual ecosystem. Otherwise, in the almost 1000 other Ayyappa temples across India, men and women are equally allowed access while Sabarimala is the single exception.

Ayyappa devotees on pilgrimage

Ayyappa devotees undergo a 41-day period of celibacy, fasting and other penances prior to making the pilgrimage to prepare their bodies and consciousness for the spiritual ecosystem present in Sabarimala temple. Scriptures and oral tradition explain that the celibate male energy present at Sabarimala is actually harmful to the fertile female body.

The Case of Sabarimala - Anti-Hindu Activism

Visited by over 50 million devotees a year, Sabarimala is one of the world's largest pilgrimage sites, exceeded only by Mecca. Given its prominence the Sabarimala temple has been targeted by Anti-Hindu social activists for years as part of a broader campaign to delegitimize Hinduism as sexist and patriarchal.

The temple was forcibly entered, vandalized, its deity broken and burned down in 1950 by Syrian Christian provocateurs. At the time of the arson, the Marxist atheist Chief Minister of Travancore-Cochin, C. Keshavan, famously stated:

“If a Hindu temple is destroyed, that much superstition is destroyed”

and since 1991 a group of activist lawyers have sought to force Sabarimala to accept women by judicial fiat.

Psychological warfare: "the use of propaganda against an enemy, supported by such military, economic, or political measures as may be required. Such propaganda is generally intended to demoralize the enemy, to break his will to fight or resist, and sometimes to render him favourably disposed to one's position. The communications media most commonly used in psychological warfare are the same as those used in civilian life; radio, newspapers, motion pictures, videos, books, and magazines form a large part of the output. Psychological warfare need not be subtle or sophisticated in conduct and execution."

India Today denigrates the Hindu sari while praising the Muslim hijab. The glaring double-standard only makes sense in light of the anti-Hindu colonial stereotypes perpetuated in modern India.

"Secular" India

Hindu Self-Hatred

The relentless campaign of psychological warfare waged on Hindu minds by the British and their brown successors post-Independence have resulted in a Hindu population that is demoralized, delegitimized and without a sense of identity except to pathetically ape the West. This is a textbook case of internalized racism.

Result: Indians spend billions annually on fairness cream to lighten their skin to be more like their former British masters. A 2014 marketing study found that almost 90% of Indian girls cite skin lightening as a "high need."

Who is Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam?

His Divine Holiness Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam is Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism (SPH) and the reviver of KAILASA – the ancient enlightened civilization, the great cosmic borderless Hindu nation. HDH is an Avatar as per Hinduism and is the Supreme Pontiff (Jagadguru Mahasannidhanam) of Hinduism.

His Divine Holiness Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam represents the last lamp of a Hindu civilization nearly exterminated over the course of a thousand years of invasion, occupation, persecution, and genocide. He is single-handedly reviving the authentic teachings, rituals, culture and lifestyle of Hinduism, and availing its superconscious ancient Vedagamic sciences...

SPH’s Contributions

01 Authentic Hinduism

A Comprehensive Science of Enlightenment: Hinduism as revealed in the Vedas and Agamas offers mankind a perfected science for attaining the state, space, being, superconsciousness and powers of Paramashiva, the Adi Guru of humanity. By rediscovering and revealing orthodox Hinduism as described in its source scriptures, SPH is demonstrating its relevance to the world and its potential to transform humans into divine beings capable of achieving superconsciousness and manifesting extraordinary powers.

02 Gurukul Education

Indigenous Hindu Education System: The gurukul, or traditional Hindu residential school, was the very backbone of Hindu civilization. Open to all members of Indian society, it offered a nurturing, nature-based environment where the guru could guide and train his students in both worldly arts (e.g., mathematics, literature, and martial arts) and spiritual arts (e.g., yoga, meditation, and power manifestation). The gurukul system was the key mechanism for knowledge transmission and preservation in Hindu civilization. SPH has established the world's only gurukul that is completely aligned to the original teachings of the Vedas and Agamas.

03 Preserving Scriptures

Collecting and Preserving Hinduism's Sacred Scriptures: Of the 10 million sacred scriptures produced over 5000 years of Hindu civilization, 80% have been lost to Muslim invaders and European colonial forces bent on wiping out the 'heathen', 'infidel' Hindu religion. SPH has established the Nithyananda Jnanalaya, the world's largest Hindu library where Hindu religious books and palm leaves have been collected from all across India to be translated, copied, digitized, distributed, and preserved for future generations.

04 Sacred Arts

Preserving Hindu Temple Art and Architecture: Hindu temples and the deities, sculptures, paintings, and jewelry contained therein are unsurpassed marvels of art and engineering. Unfortunately, much of the skills and know-how to produce traditional Hindu art per the Agamas has been lost due to temple destruction, heavy temple taxation and economic and legal restrictions that have ravaged indigenous artisan communities. SPH has established a large scale sacred arts facility in Bengaluru Adheenam where Hindu arts and artifacts are collected and preserved from all over India, artisans are trained, and deities and other artwork are produced for distribution to Hindu temples in 33 countries.

05 Temple Rituals

Reviving Hindu Temple Rituals as a Lifestyle: Modern Hindus tend to dismiss ancient traditions such as pujas, homas, and abhishekhams as mere rituals. SPH has explained that Vedic worship or rituals are a collection of powerful transformative meditation techniques designed to connect the participant with the divine and experience intense bliss. Vedic rituals, when performed with the proper context and devotion, are outwardly beautiful and can directly put you in-tune with the universal energy or God. One of SPH's core missions is to reestablish the importance of rituals as a daily lifestyle for Hindus.

06 Authentic Yoga

Restoring Yoga's Spiritual and Cultural Heritage: Authentic Yoga was revealed by Sadashiva himself in order to give humanity the techniques to develop the physique and physiology to manifest the superconscious state and express extraordinary powers. Modern Yoga is merely a diluted form of physical exercise with little connection to its Hindu roots beyond a few Sanksrit terms for asanas. SPH has rediscovered the original Yoga taught by Sadashiva grounded in the Shastra Pramana, or Agamic scriptural references, and designed to give the practitioner the experience of superconsciousness.

07 Rudrakanyas

Sacred Women of Hinduism: Rudrakanyas were trained dancers who dedicated their lives to cultivating the 64 indigenous Hindu arts and devotedly serving the Gods residing in their local temple. Forsaking a traditional family life, they were the ultimate embodiment of beauty and chastity. Heavy taxation of temples as well as scandalous colonial narratives by British authorities destroyed the rudrakanya community and they are now remembered as little more than salacious court dancers. SPH has reestablished the rudrakanya sampradaya and its members have dedicated their lives to preserving and cultivating traditional Hindu arts.

08 Female Empowerment

Elevating the Role of Women: The Sanyaas Sampradaya (monastic order) established by SPH is unique in that it freely ordains women and allows women to perform temple rituals. Moreover, women constitute the majority of the senior leadership in SPH's mission, thereby establishing his vision of Hinduism as not just orthodox, but also highly progressive and committed to gender equality.

09 LGBTQ Rights

A Culture of LGBTQ Inclusiveness: SPH has revealed that the Agama scriptures recognize eleven genders and prescribe specific temple rituals to solemnize gay marriage, which is otherwise considered taboo in mainstream Hinduism. Moreover, he has declared that he himself transcends gender and consequently suffered vicious persecution for his bold progressive stance on LGBTQ issues. By rooting the legitimacy of gays, lesbians and transgendered people in ancient Hindu scriptures, he is single-handedly changing the LGBTQ discourse in India.

The developmental, economic, social, and medical impacts of malnutrition and famine have a critical impact on the individual, familial, community, national, ultimately on the global level.

With the on-going COVID-19 pandemic triggering an alarming spike in food insecurity, the United Nations have given warnings of famines of biblical proportions. In 2020 alone, 690 million people were estimated to be pushed into food insecurity.

The access and availability to organic food has become of utmost importance.

Bengal famine victims
Food distribution at Ujjain Kumbh Mela

1943 – 1944: In the man-made famine of Bengal, as per existing records 3+ million were murdered. The Prime minister of the world’s biggest empire controlling 1/3rd of mankind claimed they could not do anything about the people dying of hunger because - “Hindus bred like rabbits and the famine was their fault”.

2016, Ujjain : In Ujjain Kumbh Mela, the peacekeepers of KAILASA served organic food to over 3+ million. Peacekeepers of KAILASA under the leadership of the SPH Nithyananda have served more than 1 billion free meals in past 26 years and are determined to end hunger and poverty in all its forms. KAILASA, with 200 peacekeepers at any given time, can deliver what even one of the biggest countries could not deliver. KAILASA is not driven by war, fear or greed - it is an enlightenment based nation - driven by selfless service.

The Vedagamas, the source of Hindu Scripture, declares :

|| अन्नम् बहु कुर्वीत ||₁

“Annam Bahu Kurveetha”

which means, “Let us produce food in large quantities”.

Through the widespread distribution and promotion of free, healthy, organic food, KAILASA’s global peacekeepers led by the SPH serve such that we may achieve food security, improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture globally.

Annadhan is the vision to end poverty and hunger, in all its forms.

Palm-leaf scriptures

Hinduism, Sanatana Hindu Dharma, is a knowledge-based tradition. What was once passed on orally from time immemorial, has in the last few thousand years begun being transmitted through written word in the form of palm-leaf scriptures, books, and libraries.

“Centuries of history of discrimination, exploitation, dispossession and colonization have led to the loss of traditional knowledge. Traditional knowledge is under threat and is being misused and misappropriated ...

Indigenous peoples’ traditional knowledge has been developed over generations through daily life practices and a close understanding of local environments. It can offer valuable responses to climate change, food insecurity, reducing inequalities and other challenges that we are trying to resolve ...”

From the original 100 million source books of Hinduism, barely 20% remain today.

Through KAILASA’s Dept. of Enlightened Civilzations, the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism has committed His life to ensure the preservation, protection, and transmission of the age-old, authentic, time-tested Hindu knowledge.

The SPH serves to not only protect the branches of knowledge remaining today, but also to revive this vast knowledge which has been lost over years of genocide, and persecution.

Zero

The Rig-Vedas, one of the fundamental source scriptures of Hinduism, expresses a concept known as the Hiranyagarbha, or the "Universal Womb".

From the concept of Hiranyagarbha, comes the understanding of the space out of which everything comes forth, Zero.

From India to Persia, then onto Arabia through the Hindu scholar Kanaka, this knowledge is today the cornerstone of everything considered as binary logic.

Ayurveda

The traditional Hindu form of medicinal diagnostics and treatments. With its roots in Hindu scriptures and reference in chapters of the Rig-Vedas, it stands as the oldest living medicinal system still being used and practised today.

This includes the use of copper in medical instruments for its antibacterial properties, and the use of Ayurvedic methodology in treatments for Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Osteoarthritis

The Lost Knowledge of Kashmir

Hindus have lived in Kashmir for more than 10,000 years. The name Kashmir derives its origins from the name of Rishi Kashyapa, one of the Sapta Rishis, or 7 Great Rshis, as described in Vedas (Sama Veda verse 2.218-221).

Over the course of repeated and systematic genocide, persecution, and invasion which continues to this day, Hindus were mercilessly killed and their knowledge burnt to ashes.

Today Hindus in the valley of Kashmir are less than 2% of the total population.

Today, Education is known to be the key factor to enabling upwards socioeconomic mobility, and the strongest means of removing poverty. The right education is crucial to the well-being, stability, and growth of not only every child, but to humanity as a whole.

The Gurukul System is known to be the knowledge- transmission system of Hinduism - one of the pillars which kept Sanatana Hindu Dharma alive and standing, as the world’s most ancient, living civilization.

Through KAILASA’s Dept. of Education, the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism, JGM HDH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam, the Gurukul System is being revived in its entirety.

Gurukul - "Living in the Guru's Home"

The Gurukul System is rooted on
the “guru-shishya sampradaya”, or
the living lineage of the Guru-
disciple relationship.

Guru teaching disciples

After decades of study on the physical, chemical, and biological uniqueness of meditative states and Enlightened beings, it has been found that in the normal waking state alone..their brainwaves show that they are in a complete meditative state, despite being fully active and engaged.

In the world of athletics, this state is known as the “being in the zone” - a GLIMPSE into the peak of focus, cognitive function, attention, and coordination, to name a few.

Rather than a glimpse, Enlightened beings casually walk, talk, and engage with life settled in this peak.

Brain waves connection

Recent studies have also found that we imbibe the body language, behaviours, and patterns of those in our environment- not just on the behavioural level, but to the depths of the neurological layer.

This is also known as the "mirror-neuron effect".

In this way, there is no better teacher than the Enlightened Guru, who (as per modern science) exists as the superconscious, biological, reproducible anomaly.

Nithyananda in meditation

However, through centuries of Moghul
Invasions, Colonialism, and continued
persecution against Hinduism and Hindu
Tradition, this science of knowledge
transmission has been diminishing at an
unprecedented rate.

After careful study in the Colonialism Era, it was found that the Gurukul System was standing as the backbone and stability of the Hindu Civilization.

The Macaulay Education System was imposed on India after this revelation.

With the systematic destruction of Hindu Universities and Gurukuls, goes also more than 80% of Hinduism's Indigenous knowledge.

“Our English schools are flourishing wonderfully ... The effect of this education on the Hindoos is prodigious. No Hindoo who has received an English education ever continues to be sincerely attached to his religion ...

The Hindoo religion is so extravagantly absurd that it is impossible to teach a boy astronomy, geography, natural history, without completely destroying the hold which that religion has on his mind. ...

It is my firm belief that, if our plans of education are followed up, there will not be a single idolater among the respectable classes in Bengal thirty years hence.

And this will be effected without any efforts to proselytise, without the smallest interference with religious liberty, merely by the natural operation of knowledge and re(f)lection.

I heartily rejoice in this prospect....”
