• 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...

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.

• SCIENCE OF PANCHATAPAS YOGA : EXPLANATION BY SWAMI NITHYA BHAKTANANDA

As Pancha Tapas Yoga at Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam entered into its eleventh day, many visitors and media persons have been requesting more clarity on this spiritual practice and its benefits.






What is the science of Panchatapas Yoga? Can it really promote peace and healing?

Today Sri Nithya Bhaktananda, a senior Swami of NIthyananda Dhyanapeetam, explained the process just before the commencement of today’s Pancha Tapas Yoga.

“ Pancha Tapas Yoga or Pancha Agni Tapas Yoga is an authentic and intense form of yoga practice followed since time immemorial. Even today, at the Kumbha Mela, hundreds of sadhus and saints can be seen practicing Pancha Tapas Yoga. There are many kinds of Pancha Tapas Yoga, depending on the way the practice is performed, who performs it, the purpose for which it is performed, etc.

In Pancha Tapas Yoga, the practitioner sits inside a circle of fire and enters into meditation. Pancha Tapas Yoga gets its name from pancha agni or five fires, because participants sit in the circle with fire in the four directions (North, South, East & West) and the sun overhead forming the fifth fire.

There is a general misunderstanding that Pancha Tapas Yoga is performed as a prayaschita (repentance) for wrong actions. No! On the contrary, Pancha Tapas Yoga is a powerful process for creating and spreading positive energies on the planet. When participants in the Pancha Tapas Yoga visualize the Omkara mantra in the anahata chakra (heart center), they allow the positive energies to radiate through the 21 end-points of the body (10 fingertips, 10 toes and the sahasrara chakra on the crown of the head).

In the ancient Naga tradition, it is said that the fire should not be higher than the knees of the practitioner when he is sitting down. Sometimes, the practice is performed within a circle of glowing hot embers instead of fire. Sitting within a circle of embers is a far more effective spiritual practice than sitting within a circle of fire, though the latter may provide greater dramatic effect.

Why?

Fire burns and destroys. Embers, because of the constant temperature and sustained heat which doesn’t die out like a fire, helps the system assimilate the spiritual energy at a steady pace. Just as a raw fruit cannot be ripened by fire, but only by the slow and steady heat of the sun, or raw food cannot be converted to cooked food by high flames, but only through a slow and steady flame, the spiritual process becomes much more intense when practiced within the circle of embers over many days.

This is the real meaning of ‘tapas’.

Healing, whether physical or mental, can happen when we replace negative energies with positive energies. Whether we realize it or not, thoughts are also a form of energy. Science has proved that just as we pick up the bio-energy of a person, we consciously or unconsciously pick up the thoughts released in our environment. The group meditation of the participants in the Pancha Tapas Yoga not only creates positive vibrations all around, but can positively influence the mental patterns in the environment also. So the harmonious energies released by this Pancha Tapas Yoga can energize the surrounding environment and promote physical healing and mental peace. The ripple effect of such a process can reach far and wide, helping to create peace and harmony in the world as well.”
