Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam Ashram News
Flood Relief Efforts - Karnataka
Ongoing flood relief operations in Karnataka
The first group of the flood relief volunteers of Nithyananda Global Initiatives (NGCI) comprising of the Mysore and Mandya team returned late last night after distributing the relief material and taking stock of the situation.
The team took with them close to 10 tons of relief material worth Rs. 6, 00,000 comprising of food, utensils, cooking material and clothes in a canter vehicle for the flood victims.
Following is an account from by one of the NGCI volunteers who served onsite.
“Going by the news reports, it was understood that raichur district was the worst affected. Accordingly, we established contact with the special officer in charge of flood relief, who in turn guided us to the asst. commissioner of the area, who in turn directed us to the taluk office of Sindhanur taluka, which was among the worst affected. We reached the said office on 12th afternoon and were directed by the junior officials to a village called Attigudda, coming under Turvihala police station limits. We distributed about 270 ration packs here, amidst great confusion and bad crowd management. However it did not appear that the village was affected by the rising river floods.

Awakening the energy centers on Maha ShivaratriIf inner awakening happens in you, you are living as Shiva - the being whose inner space is completely awakened, living in light, radiating the energy. When the inner awakening happens, each chakra or subtle energy center in the body, comes to life. For example, when the muladhara or root chakra is awakened through awareness, all the fantasies which torture you get burnt away – just like Shiva opened his third eye and burnt down Manmatha (Cupid) when he tried disturbing Shiva’s meditation through arrows of lust. In the same way, when the tremendous worry or depression rises in you from the manipuraka chakra, you can respond like Shiva who just drank the poison that came out during the churning of the milky ocean – don’t be shaken by the worry, have deep acceptance, and you will see the worry disappear like the poison gave way to nectar. |

Experiencing Shiva in Maha Shivaratri 2010Like this, when all the seven chakras are awakened, you become Shiva. The Shiva Kundalini dhyaan, which will be directly conducted by Paramahamsa Nithyananda, is a safe spiritual method of awakening this energy. To truly experience Shiva and worship Him, you have to become Shiva himself – experience the Shiva consciousness. Only when you become Shiva, you can even understand the space Shiva is in. Otherwise you will only be imagining Shiva. On this auspicious occasion of Maha Shivaratri 2010, let us experience Shiva. |

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 is 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.
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.
If inner awakening happens in you, you are living as Shiva - the being whose inner space is completely awakened, living in light, radiating the energy. When the inner awakening happens, each chakra or subtle energy center in the body, comes to life. For example, when the muladhara or root chakra is awakened through awareness, all the fantasies which torture you get burnt away – just like Shiva opened his third eye and burnt down Manmatha (Cupid) when he tried disturbing Shiva’s meditation through arrows of lust.
In the same way, when the tremendous worry or depression rises in you from the manipuraka chakra, you can respond like Shiva who just drank the poison that came out during the churning of the milky ocean – don’t be shaken by the worry, have deep acceptance, and you will see the worry disappear like the poison gave way to nectar. Like this, when all the seven chakras are awakened, you become Shiva. The Shiva Kundalini dhyaan, which will be directly conducted by Paramahamsa Nithyananda, is a safe spiritual method of awakening this energy.
To truly experience Shiva and worship Him, you have to become Shiva himself – experience the Shiva consciousness. Only when you become Shiva, you can even understand the space Shiva is in. Otherwise you will only be imagining Shiva. This Maha Shivaratri, let us experience Shiva.
