You Are That

Nithyanandam,
It is so blessed to be invited to attend the Living Enlightenment Process.
Just now, at 8:20pm Swami initiated me and said 'You Are That'. God.....what more can we expect from a Paramahamsa. For sure blessed are those who experienced this Ultimate gift from an incarnation.

Here comes another day....

I have to share a beautiful experience happened yesterday morning. As soon as I woke-up in the morning, the first thought I had was 'thank you' the very next second my mind was searching for a word thanking whom, swamiji? Then I realize well Swamiji is the cosmos...so the final words came was 'Thank you ma, the Cosmic energy'. I bow down and kiss the ground with deep gratitude. That was another breakthrough in me. First thought came was to express gratitude and seeing Swami clearly beyond the 6 feet form as a cosmic energy.

This morning Swami delivered a talk on Time and anti aging process. When He was giving this talk, Swami was referring to how middle aged women in the East look much older than middle aged women in the west. He said the women in the East after having two kids, they feel there's nothing more big in life to do. So the aging process happens quicker. One has to really watch the video clip on today's talk. I forgot the exact tittle but Swami completely brought a new concept to the idea of Time. It was a great talk.

In the morning I had a chance to see Swami on e-conference call with Malaysian devotees. To my surprise such a big crowd in a very beautiful hall. Today, August 31 is Malaysia's independence day. Swami greeted in Malay 'Selamat Hari Merdeka' and said 'Malaysia Satu' that is national theme for Malaysia, 'We are One'.

Swami spoke in Tamil, expressing His gratitude to all the devotees of Malaysia for standing by Him. He strongly encouraged everyone to live Jeevan Mukti and spread it Jeevan Mukti. He also promised them that He will be visiting Malaysia soon and very soon to give Kalpataru and take NSP.

To my surprise, I came to know that in Malaysia today they are having 'Padha Yatra' from KL Mariamman Temple to Kottu Pulliyar Temple (both are very famous temples in KL). I was surprise, how did they even get the approval for this in the Islamic country especially on 31st of August, Independence Day. An ashramite from Bidadi, Sri Rishi Dayananda originally was born and brought up in Malaysia went from Bidadi to lead this Yatra.

My body is sore as though after intense workout. Not only a group of us had to do 108x Suria Namaskar in the morning we had to do another 108x rounds of Suria Namaskar in the evening too, yesterday. This is the batch still haven't experience any kind of levitation , which means the samana is not balanced. Where the body forgot how to breath. The body is now conditioned only to breath using the nose (or mouth) but the pores are also should be doing the function of breathing.

Today's been very fun and sweet. Swami had dinner with the participants and had a camp fire in front of the temple. Of course He put us in the 'proccess' twice. He was using Zen techniques with beautiful sound effect chanting one or two words. Really beautiful and powerful.

Prepare to Levitate

This morning around 9am, in the class Swami asked all the participants if we all experience either physical or psychological levitation. Lucky me, I did not have a bit of this experience and I didn't even bother about it. I keep thinking it's his responsibility, anyway He is the Master...right? Oh God, me and my thoughts. So this morning He divided the group into 3.
1) experienced physical levitation 2)experienced psychological levitation 3) no experience at all.

Actually I was surprise to see the amount of people that have physical experience.
So I am one of the lucky one who did not have have any experience. I remember Swamiji telling that he wants to give everybody some experience. So while the first two groups sat with Swamiji the third group requested to do Suria Namaskar for 108 times. So here we go, Suria Namaskar the whole morning session in the Ananda Sabha. It was a beautiful intense workout with the right group pf people, everyone did it sincerely since it's the instruction from the Master.

Unique Energy Darshan

Today in Living Enlightenment Process the fun part was 'Energy Darshan'. Swami first put us in a meditation with a sutra 'Conflict Free Life'.
Where ever there is life, there's no conflict;
where ever there is conflict, there's no life.

It was nice, a light experience. Then we received a very special and unique Energy Darshan. Where Swamiji came to each and every one of us (where we were sitting) and gave us energy darshan. Normally we go up to Him to the stage but this time He went to the participants and gave energy darshan to more than 100 LEP participants, at their spot. God....one should really experience this.

Then later Swami gave a discourse on Yoga Sutra. As usual very practical life solution talk.

Swami put us into humming meditation for about 2 hours. It felt like it was only for about 40 minutes. But we started at 10:30am and ended at 12:30noon. Thanks to the clock...confirms, we were humming for 2 hour. Everything this season has been quite intense.

Beside the intensity, there's a lot of fun and new experiences. Living with international family members, people from all over the world. Not to mention that now we are in the practice of 'aprigraha', live with simplicity. So now I have committed to myself to have only 3 sets of dresses (2 sets of sarees and 1 set of salwar kameez) for 48 days. Last 4 to 5 days I've been having only one meal (around 1o:00am) mmm...so far I am doing well. Of course this is my choice and level of simplicity I could imagine to be able to survive for next 48 day. Some of course have suitcases of clothes for simplicity.
It's not as difficult as it appears. I am enjoying it. Now I feel such a freedom. Could enjoy the wealth and enjoy the simplicity as well. Freedom is surely the gift that I have received from Paramahamsa Nithyananda.
