I welcome all of you with my love and blessings!

I want to make sure everybody knows I AM BACK HOME...!!!!!

Nithyananda Nagara “vaasis” (residents of Nithyananda Nagara), as the people living in Nithyananda Nagara, the greatest “teertha kshetra”, pilgrimage centre created in the modern-day, we have a great responsibility.  Please understand, when I go around seeing all these great “kshetras”, the “teertha kshetras”, see the people living in many of those “teertha kshetras”, that atmosphere, seeing all that, the biggest lesson I learnt is, it is not that we need to build big, big towers, huge towers, it is not that we need to build big, big monasteries – you can never cross the number of monasteries and monastics than Haridwar and Rishikesh, you can never cross the number of temples in Varanasi – really, our contribution should be filling them with Jeevan Mukthas, filling this space with enlightened beings.  Filling all “kshetras” with enlightened beings is our job.  That is the work we are supposed to do.  Please understand, that should be our contribution.  That is the only way we will contribute something unique.

You cannot build a bigger temple than Meenakshi (Madurai Meenakshi Temple) or Chidambaram Temple (Chidambaram Nataraja Temple) how much ever we try.  Let us be honest, we can never compete with Thanjavur, Chidambaram, Madurai.  In the number of temples, we can never complete with Kashi.  In the number of monasteries and monastic numbers, we can never compete with Haridwar.  And we don’t need to compete also; that’s different! 

Then, what is the real contribution Nithyananda Nagara is supposed to do as one of the greatest modern-day “teertha kshetras” where people come, assemble for enlightenment?  What is our contribution?  Making billions of people think in a liberated way!  Please listen!  The liberated thinking, that should be our unique contribution!  The Science of Living Enlightenment!  All these “kshetras” should be filled with this science, all these monasteries should be filled with monks who have liberated thinking, all these “kshetras” should be filled with acharyas who will teach people the science of liberated thinking. 

Understand, “liberated thinking”, let me define this word.  I am introducing this word very newly.  Let me define:

Always powerful, listen, always powerful, always experiencing liberation, always aligned to cause liberation to others, is “liberated thinking”.

Never for a moment feel powerless.  Always feeling powerful!  And continuously your thinking leads to more and more liberated thinking, more and more powerfulness, more and more joy, more and more experience of powerfulness. 

Please listen!  Haridwar has enough of monasteries.  Kashi has enough of temples.  By building one more monastery, one more temple, you think we are going to contribute in a big way?  No!  It is there for us to worship, that’s all.  But our real contribution should be creating the context, making thousands of people think in a liberated way. 

Please understand, just like your eyes have the power to see, ears have the power to listen, tongue has the power to taste, skin has the power to experience touch, your mind has a unique power to realize!  When you awaken that power through liberated thinking, you become enlightened!  Awakening the power of the mind through the science of “manonmaniya”, liberated thinking, is enlightenment.  Means, understanding clearly ‘I will align me to the way of liberated thinking’. 

The biggest poison which all of us are suffering from is liberal thinking which is forced into your head by the materialistic way of life.  It is unfortunate, THEY teach you what is freedom, and you swallow that and go on thinking THAT is freedom.  They tell you if you have this much of money, this much of property, this much of all these things, it is called “freedom”!  And if you have a passport and visa to go to all those countries, if you can surf on the water, lie down on the beach for sunbath, if you can do this, this, this, and have a cycling tour in Goa, it is called “freedom”!  Please understand, it is so unfortunate, the liberal thinking itself is forced on you! 

Liberal thinking will not stand the scrutiny of logic.  Liberated thinking will stand the scrutiny of logic.  That’s all is the whole life, nothing else!  Just aligning yourself to the liberated thinking and going on causing people to think in a liberated way! 

This liberated thinking will be one of my biggest contributions to humanity.  Liberated thinking means thinking from the space of Completion, thinking from the space of Completion, thinking from the space of Completion!

Liberated thinking!  Please listen!  Creating the right context, and the right context leading to the right actions constantly in your life, is “liberated thinking”.  Please understand!  Creating the right context, and the right context leading you to the right actions constantly, is “liberated thinking”. 

The possibility, the power of possibility, the power of possibility is one of the side-effects of liberated thinking.  Never feeling powerless inside, constantly feeling powerful, and ability to complete with all the incompletions, ability to complete with all the incompletions.  I tell you, just this one thing is only missing in all the “kshetras” I visited.  Amazing number of outer temples and the bodies which are supposed to become inner temples they already have.  The outer temples where God is supposed to reside, and temples of bodies where God is supposed to reside, means sadhus, I have seen both in thousands of numbers.  Now it is our responsibility to do “prana prathishta” (infusing life energy) in both.  Liberated thinking is the “prana prathishta” in a Sannyasi.  Teaching that science to whoever comes is the “prana prathishta” in a temple. 

Please understand, the glory of a temple is not based on the size, it is based on the experience of the people who come and go.  When they leave, what they are carrying back, that decides the glory of the temple.  When somebody comes here and gets the glimpse of the liberated thinking and goes out and starts thinking in that direction.....creating that space, I will say, that is the best thing, that is the greatest pride for our temple.  Any temple should have that as the pride and not the height or the depth or the breadth or the area.  That is what the Swasthi Vachana says:

Durjana Sajjano Bhooyaath

Sajjana Shaanthimaapnuyaath  |

Shaantho Muchyetha Bandhebhyo

Mukthaschaanyaan Vimochayeth ||

(“May the wicked become righteous,

And may the righteous attain peace.

May the peaceful attain salvation,

And may they help others to be saved.”)

We will add this into our Swasthi Mantra.

Understand, creating the context. 

I have a beautiful story to tell you guys about the context.  Yesterday night I was sitting with all the Swamis and we were having some good discussions, satsangha.  Usually, the moment I land, I will be like rat-a-tat-tat-tat – ‘What happened to this department, that department? – rat-a-tat-a-tat!  Yesterday we were having some different satsangh.  So, yesterday we were having satsangh.  I was telling some stories.  There is a beautiful story I have read about Kashi in a book. 

Kashi Devi – Kashi City after it was created it becomes an independent intelligence, “Kashi Devi” – Kashi Devi asks Mahadeva, ‘Mahadeva, bless me that whoever comes into me, they should all be liberated.’ 

Mahadeva gives three boons:  ‘Whoever gets into Kashi through there (he mentions a particular spot), gets into the Ganga and takes bath, whoever gets into the Ganga and takes bath, all their sins will be washed away.  And, whoever dies in Kashi, they will all be liberated.  Whoever’s body is brought and burnt in Manikarnika Ghat or Harischandra Ghat in Kashi, they will all be liberated.’  These three boons Mahadeva gives to Kashi Devi.  And Kashi Devi was so happy!

But Devi (Parvathi) interfered and said, ‘Mahadeva, don’t you feel you made liberation very cheap, enlightenment so easy?  Everyone is getting it, everyone will have it!’

Mahadeva says, ‘Don’t worry, I will take you to Kashi and show you. Come.’

And this boon which Mahadeva gave to Kashi Devi has become too popular. Almost the whole world gathered to take bath in Kashi in the Ganga in the next few days.

Mahadeva and Devi come to Kashi, and Mahadeva says to Devi, ‘Now let both of us become human-beings.  I will lie down as a dead husband.  You sit down here as the widow and cry.  If any person without sin touches me, I will come back to life.  And if somebody with sin touches me and tries to bring me back to life, he will die.’

So Mahadeva lies down as a dead body.  Devi is sitting there and crying really loud.  All the people who have come to take bath in the Ganga they all come and ask Devi, ‘What happened?  What happened? Why are you crying?  Why such a beautiful lady is sitting and crying in front of such a beautiful man?’

Devi says, ‘My young husband has died.  Anybody without sin, who has no sin at all, if he or she touches my husband’s body, he will come back to life.  But if you have done some sin and you touch him, you will die.....your head will burst and you will die!’ 

From morning to night, millions of people take bath in the Ganga, but not a single fellow dared to touch this body.

Late night, one drunkard fellow came.  He also asked Devi, ‘What happened?’

Devi said, ‘This is the story.  If anybody without sin touches my husband, he will come back to life.  But if a person with sin touches him, that person will die!’

Devi thought that this fellow, as usual, like all the others, will start running away. 

But that drunken fellow looks at Devi and says, ‘Wait, wait, wait....I heard this Shiva fellow has given some boon.’

So he gets into the Ganga and takes bath and comes out.  And he says, ‘I have done all types of sins.  But now, after taking bath in the Ganga, I am free of all sins because Shiva gave this boon.’ 

And he touches the dead body of the husband.    

Naturally, Shiva comes back to life and gives darshan and liberates him!

Then Mahadeva asks Devi, ‘Do you see now?  Millions may take bath, but do they create a context?’

Please understand, there was a great Asura, Banasura.  He was a great Shiva Bhakta.  He asked Mahadeva a boon, ‘Mahadeva, give me the boon that whoever asks whatever boon, you will give them.’  Then Mahadeva says, ‘If they know whatever boon they ask I will give, from that context if they ask, I will give!’ 

Understand, only the power of Completion creates the context for any great thing. 

When you get into the Ganga, naturally the SDHD will come up, the Self-Doubt, Hatred, Denial will come up.  ‘Who knows, first of all, whether Mahadeva blessed?  Second, who knows whether Mahadeva’s boon will come through?  Third, may be Mahadeva blessed and the boon will come through, but who knows whether I am qualified or not?  I have committed so many sins.....who knows whether they are all exempted?  Mahadeva may have put a fine print: “If you have committed such and such sins you are not qualified”!’  All types of SDHD will come up.  Complete with all the SDHD and get into the Ganga.  You will come out as a sinless, pure being!  But, understand, still you have doubt!  But the second and third boons are absolute boons that work!  The second boon: Whoever dies in Kashi, he will be liberated.  The third boon: Whoever’s body is burnt in Manikarnika Ghat, they will be liberated.  Both these boons still work!  Why you know?  Because, when you are dead, you don’t have the mechanism of creating incompletions!  Because of that, these two boons are absolute boons where, whether you create the context or not, they work on you!  I saw, even now Mahadeva is fulfilling his commitment!  Even now Mahadeva is fulfilling his commitment!  Whoever leaves the body in Varanasi, and whoever’s body is burnt in Manikarnika Ghat – and Harischandra Ghat, of course – whoever’s body is burnt in those two places, they are all liberated!  Mahadeva disconnects the umbilical cord through which the baggage gets shifted and initiates them and liberates them!  Understand, while you are alive in the body, anything great can be achieved only by creating the right context.  Even in Varanasi, there is one exemption: No suicide!  Don’t think if you go to Varanasi and commit suicide you will become liberated.  No!

Understand the right context, create the right context in every step of life.  The right-context creation happens only by Completion, Completion, Completion!  Completion, Completion, Completion!  Understand, live in the space of Completion.  Go on causing people to experience Completion.  When you create the space of Completion, you will see our Kalpavriksha, Bidadi Banyan Tree, just showers you with whatever you ask!  It is continuously giving you!  Our Bidadi Banyan Tree is Himalaya and Ganga put together!  Haridwar, Kashi, Kailasa, all put together.....and someting more!  You will understand!  You will understand!  When you create the space of Completion you will understand!  Or, go and sit under the Banyan Tree.  Ask it to give you the space of Completion. 

The essence of today’s satsangh is:

Creating the right context.  Go on creating the right context.  That is the first lesson in the Science of Liberated Thinking.  Authentic Listening and Completion is the first lesson in the Science of Liberated Thinking.

So, before we move to the Kalpataru process, a small commercial break.

SMALL COMMERCIAL BREAK.....................

Yes, we will now move to the Kalpataru process. 

Please pick up your paper and pen.  Choose one thought which you want to cause as reality and start penning it down.  And start penning down all the incompletions you carry around that one thought.

(After a few minutes.....................)

Yes, let us start the process now.

Please sit straight.  Close your eyes.  Create the space for what you want to achieve.  Create the space for what you want to cause as reality and hold on to that space.  Complete with all the incompletions you have around that space.  Hold on to it. 

KALPATARU MEDITATION IN PROGRESS.....................

I bless you all!  The space you created, let it become reality!  My blessings to all of you!

So get ready!  Let us celebrate one more Inner Awakening from tomorrow!  The next Inner Awakening........!  Alright!

We will have the Global Sangha meeting now.

I bless you all!  Let us start the Global Sangha meeting.

I bless you all!  Let you all radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility and Enriching and Causing eternal bliss, Nithyananda!  Thank you!
