Welcome to Nithyanandoham 1008!

Swamiji’s words about the NITHYANANDOHAM 1008 program


The whole Nithyanandoham 1008 program is going to be me working on your bio-energy! In Shivoham process, I use sound and light – verbalization and visualization to awaken your bio-memory. When I awaken your bio-memory, all your possibilities are awakened! But now in the Nithyanandoham 1008 program, in that Nithyanandoham process, I
am going to silence and unclutching to work on your bio-energy – when I awaken your bio-memory, all your possibilities are awakened. When I awaken your bio-energy, all my possibilities will be awakened.
