• Trusting the Master is Ultimate!

Trust in your master is something that neither emnates from one's so called intellectual reasoning nor from an emotional heart. The mind helps Understand and heart helps in creating faith but Trust... emnates from experimenting with truth and experiencing the truth.

"Being around the Master, observing his body language helps you take longer spiritual strides", says Master. As much as one would like to be, one's worldly trappings prevent you from being around Him. Having said that, I must also admit that I never miss being around Him because He is always there with you, in every single thought, every activity performed, at home, at work, just everywhere.

100 days ago, it felt like you had lost the Master's hand that held and lead you...Like a little kid when lets go the mother's hand among the madding crowds at a Kumbha Mela...lost directionless, crying, distraught, orphaned...except that a few siblings that huddled together and comforted each other...
But the smiling saint, kept smiling...keeps smiling
And now, we are smiling again.

His right to religious freedom, his right to preach and propagate his religious beliefs and as a result his right to carry on an occupation/profession stand curtailed...
He continues to smile...

Look at how our criminal justice system works. After organising a manhunt as if it were to nail a terrorist/ fugitive, posting advertisements calling in victims to file complaints, patting themselves for making the arrest, slapping sections as serious as 376 of the IPC, holding a person in custody for 53 days, interrogating the remotest of witnesses and to finally rest their case based on non-availability of a complainant or a complaint!?! When there was no victim, how could there be a perpetrator?!
He continues to smile...
Hail Indian media... who have put their TRPs above all...invasion of privacy of individuals, disrespecting religious sentiments of people, conducting media trials and passing judgements, taking for granted privacy/dignity/integrity of all women especially film stars and last but not least doing a complete somersault in taking positions on the matter itself! Hail Indian media who hasnt ceased to continue to publish derogatory material, believes they are eligible to comment on the nuances of Hindu religion and spirituality. And we thought they are trained only in journalism.
All on the basis of a video CD which is inadmissible as evidence.
He continues to smile...

Soon his infectious enlightened smile will put that smile back on a million or more faces...

Special salutations to those disciples who were steadfast, taking on suspision, speculations, abuses, mockery and humiliation!
Nithya Bhaktanandaji whose Guru Bhakti stunned the officers, Nithya Gyananandaji and Nithya Satchitanandaji who held on and guided fellow disciples, disciples like Nithya Prananandaji and Nithya Atmaprabhanandaji who I saw moving amongst the commoners in mufti (looking uncomfortable in trousers n a shirt yet carrying on with their duties unperturbed) and most importantly the brahmacharins...even on a crowded day like Gurupoornima when lakhs of devotees que up, at night the areas surrounding Nithyanandapuri would seem dark and scary. And at a vulnerable time when He was not at the Ashram and several inmates had exited, while the ashram wore a deserted look, Ma Nithya Satchitanandaji, Nithya Priyananda, Nithya Shantananda, Nithya Achalananda and many more just held on...not knowing what the future held in store for them...

My salutations to their spiritual strength and their GuruBhakthi! Just reminding all of us that these are young, highly educated people who have quit high flying jobs and everything else to be here.

Trusting the Master...helps retain the trust in oneself.

He shall return...and brand Paramahamsa Nithyananda will be fashionable all over again! Nithyanandam...

Dearest Gurudev,
Hey, nithya i feel like writing so many things but when i want to write i feel there is nothing to write. I call you nithya because u r more than a guru to me, meaning i feel that u r god, we call our gods by name like govinda, krishna, rama... The idols of gods will always have smiling face in happiness and sorrow and u to have the same smiling face during joy and distress, i have not seen such a face which has so much of kalae. Nithya when i saw your smiling face for the first time, i prayed that even i should have smiling face
because many people have told me that i have a sad face. Now that you are out of jail my soul is dancing with joy. Oh, god because you are in human form i feel insecure about your life because of mindless cruel people. We need you. Take care.

Nithyanandam, I am enclosing the views of a top Advocate who has been campaigning against the atrocities of media and expressed boldly His valuable opinions on Swamij's case on all occations:
This flamboyant Advocate has put up his views on the current Bail out conditions in the case of Swamiji.I strongly feel this information and views must reach all devotees and a comprehensive collective opinions of the devotees must reach the judiciary to bring about needed amendments by the Govt body.

Kv Dhananjay Am I the only one perplexed at this condition on which bail has been granted by Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka for Swami Nityananda - 'no preaching'? Since when did a Court of law acquire a judicial power to enforce merit in religious or spiritual matters? I am amused first and truly amazed next - all, with due respects to the Court.

Kv Dhananjay Well, a judicial Order should always be respected, whether it be good or bad. Aggrieved devotees may apply to the High Court seeking 'removal of preaching bar'. Certainly, the HC cannot then say that it knows what's best for devotees; more than what devotees themselves think is best for them. Simple.Top of Form

Shawn Bhibekshan Chowdhry

what bothers me is not the decision but why is the supreme court overlooking these sorts of biases and decisions taken under coerce from political parties and groups who are very much against the swamis who are championing the cause of vedas and holding the vedic tradition high. The tragedy is the Indian media which is supposed to be independent ... See Moreand must have high standards have become the mouth piece of these groups who are hell bent upon destroying the vedic traditions. Swami Nithyananda is one such leader who has shown at a very young that he has the intellect and knowledge to teach vedic sciences, has the guts and dare to take on all those anti-vedic tradition groups and has the vision and leadership to change the dynamics in not only India but Worldwide and bring a spiritual revolution across all faiths and nations. The missionaries and the athiests in the South must be countered with a full force to save our values and bring a vedic renaisance.

Raajaananda Nithya

Yes, I am also perplexed... how can the court enforce this kind of a power?? Paramahamsa Nithyananda has been preaching the same truths that were always there in our Vedic Tradition, he simply says it in a way and manner in which people in the present day can understand.
Sir, don't you feel there are some fundamental rights that are being taken away from Paramahamsa Nithyananda?

Swarupananda Nithya

Sir,U are absolutely right.There are no rights to stop the religious activities of any person.that too doing to a great religious master is ridiculous.

Shawn Bhibekshan Chowdhry

Time and again truth has been suppressed, poisoned and lynched, the only way is to stand up against those who violate the fundamentals of truth and freedom and remove them from the chairs of power.

Sri Nithya Sri Priyan

Nithyanadam, there is a real need to address this issue.There is persistent bullying in the case of Swamiji, without cognizance of human rights and fundamental rights of Indian citizen.I cannot understand how the highest offices of justice is not observant of the facts when they have clearly found no clear cut evidences to call a person criminal ... See Moreis held for over 2 months and offer him bail on conditions that is inappropriate.Every conscious intellectual citizen of India must address this . With all due respects to Honorable courts and Justices and Indian Public,as citizen of India and devotee of Swamiji, we humbly request the Honorable judiciary must reconsider the conditions of Bail.We as devotees of Swamij also express our gratitude to the Honorable Judiciary for having passed the bail order for release of Swamiji.




All devotees of Swamiji have certainly all the respects and gratitude towards the Judiciary for granting Bail to Swamiji. Even though there is no direct evidence or cases to implicate any criminal charges against Swamiji, He had been held in justly over 50days, the Bail Conditions are certainly a not a digestible matter for the Devotees who eagerly waited for Swamiji's release.

However the matter may require dire attention , let us all enjoy the bliss of Our Swamiji in our midst and make a positive approach through the legal means to release the bindings of the Bail and let all of us drench in the blissful rain of our Beloved Swamiji's Programs and Discourses.


Once Swamiji permits all devotees can join in requests and pleadings along with Dhyanapeetam and this address issue equivocally.
First let us enjoy the Bliss of return of Swamiji to Dhyanapeetam-present moment.
Sri Nithya Sri Priyan

Sri. Nithyananda Swami is a trim, healthy looking young man with dark, shoulder-length hair. Handsome and polite, possessing an open manner and a wealth of curiosity, he could be any ordinary American college student.

The difference is that ordinary American college students do not wear orange robes and turbans, have not experienced spiritual enlightenment and are not regarded as a teacher, healer and mystic by millions of people in all corners of the world.

A mystic? The term is not a bad fit for "Swami," as he is known. Mystics, popular culture tells us, have direct communion with God. Through means not understood or measurable, mystics are thought to have access to ultimate realities or truths. Picture a mystic and you’ll probably picture someone full of bliss, someone gifted with lofty thoughts and insights the rest of us do not possess. The very presence of a mystic is thought to bring peace and healing to others.

That’s an apt description of Swami, a 27-year-old from South India. He is approached by thousands of people a year seeking relief from diseases and ailments that conventional medical approaches have not cured. Swami’s background lends him the air of a mystic, too. He left his home as a teen, visited ashrams across India, immersed himself in philosophy, read extensively and mastered the art of meditation.

When Swami passed through Oklahoma City recently as one stop in his world travels, I asked him if he would let me use some of modern medicine’s newest technology to peer into his brain while he meditated. My goal: to understand, measure and demystify what happens during the mystic phenomena. Swami, who believes that meditation has a scientific basis, happily agreed.

The procedures Swami went through were administered by some of Oklahoma City’s finest and most experienced physicians, neuropsychologists and researchers: Drs. Fordyce, Ruwe and Higgins of the Jim Thorpe Rehabilitation Center Neuropsychology Department and Dr. Chacko of the PET Center of Oklahoma. These doctors were using technology they use with patients on a routine basis. When they look at images obtained by their technology, they know what’s normal and what’s not.

The results from testing Swami? Decidedly not normal.




IMAGING BRAIN ACTIVITY 

Our first look into Swami’s brain was achieved with the help of a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) device. Unlike traditional diagnostic techniques that produce images of the body’s structure or anatomy, such as X-rays, CT scans or MRI, PET produces images of the function of the brain through the metabolic activity of cells. An analog of glucose is attached to a radioactive PET tracer. The PET scanner then images the metabolically active brain areas at any given time.
In the case of Swami, the drug was intended to identify highly active areas of the brain in an alert and conscious state, in the early stages of meditation and during deep meditation.

The results of the PET scan tests were stunning. To begin with, the activity in the frontal lobes of Swami’s brain were significantly heightened, even in early meditation stages. The level of activity was higher than would be seen in the average human brain under any conditions.
When we then asked Swami to go into the deepest meditation state, there were two more remarkable findings.

First, the dominant hemisphere of Swami’s brain was more than 90 percent shut down. It was as if Swami’s brain had packed up and gone on vacation. It was quiet and still, completely at peace … and Swami had made it so at will.

A second amazing aspect of Swami’s deep meditation was that the lower portion of his mesial frontal areas lighted up in a very significant way. This area roughly corresponds to the reputed location of the mystical "Third Eye."

When we later asked Swami what he was doing when the mesial frontal areas lighted up, he said he was opening his third eye.

Associated with both cosmic and inner knowledge and thought to be a place of clarity and peace, the Third Eye is considered by many to be the seat of the soul. Were we seeing an indication that deep meditation can open an area of the brain responsible for communicating with the divine, looking deep into the mysteries of self or creation? I believe the PET scan revealed what I call the brain’s "D-spot." Whether you consider the "D" in D-spot to stand for delight, the divine or even dopamine, the chemical through which our bodies experience pleasure, initial indications are that meditation can stimulate it.



MEASURING BRAINWAVES 

The second procedure we used to look into Swami’s brain is known as Quantitative Electroencephalography, or QEEG. QEEG measures electrical patterns in the brain, patterns commonly referred to as brainwaves.

There are four bandwidths of brainwaves, each different in speed and each associated with a different state of mind. For instance, beta brainwaves are small and fast and linked with an awake, alert state of mind. Alpha brainwaves are slower and larger and are connected to feelings of well-being. Theta waves represent a state of consciousness between that is close to sleep, a stage in which there is a sense of calmness and serenity without active thought.

In a day’s time, most people will experience all four types of brainwaves. The progression from one bandwidth to another, though, is not so easily in their control.

From Swami’s QEEG, though, we can see that he has complete control over his brainwaves. When in deep meditation, his brain smoothly shifted from one state to another, like a talented pianist playing the scales. There was no hesitation and no retreating, just continuous, fluid shifts from one type of brainwave to the next. Because the QEEG represents the five brainwave bandwidths as colors, it was as we were watching Swami float from color to color within a rainbow.



CONCLUSIONS

The brain is the body’s most complex organ, containing more than 100 billion neurons, each of them in chemical and electrical conversation with up to 10,000 other neurons. Its sheer capacity to process information is astonishing.


Remarkably, that complexity presents little difficulty for Swami in managing his brain activity. Swami’s mind – his thoughts, emotions and intellect – control his brain. He can, in a very fluid, easy way, shift his brain function and alter his brainwaves.

More than answering questions, the voyage we took into the mind of a mystic brings intriguing questions for study.

Are there techniques we can learn and teach that will bring balance and peace into people’s lives?

Can we invoke a healing response or accelerate healing through specific training? Can we learn techniques that will allow us to control pain or alter the course of a disease?

Can we learn to activate what I call our D-spot, thus putting us in instant connection to delight or the divine?

The results from our study of Swami are new pages in our world’s growing book of research on the brain. There continue to be indications that the human mind may be able to choose to heal the body. We’re now looking at the possibility of people learning and acquiring these healing capabilities, an event of immense benefit for humankind. The potential for altering the rates and progression of many diseases – heart disease, cancer, arthritis, alcoholism and many others – is beginning to look achievable.

Swami is a bridge between the invisible, ancient world of mysticism and the modern, visible world of science and discovery. As brain research continues on a widespread basis, and as we appropriately bring the phenomena of mysticism into the realm of science for further study, we are taking strides on a path of hope and health.
