The Inner Awakening in Maha Shivaratri

'Shiva' means 'Causeless Auspicious Energy'. ‘Ratri’ not only means night, but also refers to intensity. Maha Shivaratri is the night when the intense auspicious energy of Shiva is available for all of us as a powerful clairvoyance.

Maha Shivaratri 2010 will be all about the ‘Inner Awakening’ – awakening your inner space and the kundalini shakti – the tremendous potential energy inside you. It is about awakening your own higher consciousness – Shiva consciousness.

Maha Shivaratri 2010 - A night long celebration with Paramahamsa Nithyananda; experience the powerful Shiva Kundalini dhyaan (meditation) at Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam, Bidadi, Bengaluru starting 12th February 6 pm onwards.

Why do we need this inner awakening?
Most of the time we don’t know why we talk the way we talk, why we behave the way we behave, why we like something or hate something. This is dangerous not only for us but also for the people who live around us. So we need to bring the light of awareness into our inner space. Mahashivaratri 2010 is a direct opportunity to realize this awareness and intensity in our life.

Inner awakening can happen not just on Maha Shivaratri; to learn more visit http://innerawakening.org

Guru Poornima -- Offer Gratitude to the Master!

OFFER YOUR GRATITUDE TO THE MASTER!

What is Bhiksha? Why do we offer Bhiksha to the Master?

Bhiksha is a disciples offering to the Guru. It may be anything - flowers, fruits, money, rice, sponsoring for ashram activities, offering puja, precious items, or anything else. The material gifts one gives are symbolic of the 'ahamkara' (ego) of the disciple; which is the only thing the guru asks for - the limited identity of the disciple, so he may leave it behind and grow into the limitlessness of the Supreme.

But how many know the way?

In the external act of placing what one considers important to oneself at the guru's feet, one gives a bit of oneself to a Higher Source. In giving one feels lighter within, less limited. Those whose identities center around their wealth, keep money before him. Those who identify with their emotional selves give him their tears, those who identify themselves as being ritualistic perform the rites as in the shastras. Everyone gives a bit of themselves in the external act of Guru Bhiksha.

This is the only day the Master accepts anything that's given to him!

This simple act of giving is said to burn many lives of accumulated karma. Just like sunlight can burn a piece of paper if we place a magnifying glass in front of it, ones karmas can get burnt away in the presence of an enlightened master who is the bridge between you and the universal consciousness that we all call God!

Online facility for offering bhiksha will be made available from today onwards, so we have the time to acquire the items to be offered to Swamiji on Guru Purnima

Experience the Change: The Truth & Science of Yoga Come Alive in YOGAM

Enlightened Master Paramahamsa Nithyananda to Reveal The Original Essence Of Yoga & The Key to Living Enlightenment

Yoga is the fastest growing fitness regimen in the country - with numbers reaching 11 million in the US this year. Seasoned and new practitioners of Yoga cite its benefits for a strong, healthy body and a balanced and peaceful mind. Lesser known, however, is the fact that Yoga is a 5,000-year-old science of Living Enlightenment.

"Living Enlightenment is being intense in every moment and responding intuitively to achieve your limitless potential for creativity and joy," says Paramahamsa Nithyananda, Enlightened Master from India.

Starting in March 2009, Paramahamsa Nithyananda will reveal Yoga in its truest and intended form as created by Patanjali, the Father of Yoga. Following the mantra, "Experience the Change," Nithyananda's YOGAM is a new movement to understand, experience and radiate Yoga, uniting your intentions and actions to allow you to achieve excellence in performance - whether you're an athlete, executive, parent, student, teacher, professional or employee.

Speaking on the Yoga Sutras, the original text on Yoga as expounded by Patanjali, Nithyananda will share the authentic science of Yoga - not as just a posture or practice, but as a tool for Living Enlightenment.

Dis-identify from your emotion

Emotions are a disturbance as long as you feel them as a disturbance. When you are in the peak of emotion, if you can just shift focus to your undisturbed core, the witnessing consciousness, you will understand that it is only your periphery that is participating in the agitation, and that your reality is an undisturbed center which is blissfully watching the turmoil in the periphery. All this needs is the will to dis-identify yourself from your emotions and watch your reaction to the whole scene. Then you will know.

More Details:

Know Yourself Through Illusion

Illusion can be as powerful a tool as it can be conceiting. When you continuously watch through the eye of illusion, suddenly the watcher will start gaining more prominence than the objects of illusion. When the watcher becomes more prominent, the whole thing will take on a new perception for the watcher that is you. When this starts happening, you will fall into the middle path where neither pain nor sorrow will touch you differently from each other, and you will just remain a joyful witnessing consciousness.
