Are you ready to receive the gifts of life?

By Ma Durga on June 2, 2016 / Life Solutions

After Suddhadvaitam process in Kumbh Mela, I was wondering with so many of us who had been initiated into over 70 yogic powers, how many will truly express the powers? What are the key factors influencing the expression of extraordinary powers (siddhis)?

Then I am reminded of a beautiful story from the book ‘108 New-Clear bombs from Nithya Satsang’ by Paramahamsa Nithyananda (fondly known as Swamiji). The story was about the holy city of Kashi, Varanasi. This city is considered to be a living intelligence, a goddess. She is worshiped as Kashika Devi, the living energy of the city. It is said that Kashika Devi once asked Lord Shiva (also known as Mahadeva) for a boon, “O Shiva, Mahadeva, please bless me that whoever enters into me should be liberated.’

So Mahadeva gave Kashika Devi 3 boons:

Whoever enters into Kashi and takes a dip in the river Ganga, their sins will be washed away.
Whoever dies in Kashi, they will be liberated.
Anyone whose body is brought into Kashi and cremated in Manikarnika Ghat or Harischandra Ghat, they will be liberated.’

Kashika Devi was so happy to receive the boons! But Devi Parvathi (consort of Lord Shiva) interfered and said, ‘Mahadeva, don’t you feel you made enlightenment too easy, liberation too cheap?’

Mahadeva replied, ‘Don’t worry, I will take you to Kashi and show you something. Come with me.’

When they reached Kashi, they found that the boon which Mahadeva gave to Kashika Devi had become very popular. Thousands had gathered to take a bath in the Ganga at Kashi. Mahadeva said to Devi, ‘Now let us both become human beings, I will lie down as a dead husband. You sit down here as the widow and cry. If anyone approaches you, tell them that if a person without sin touches me, I will come back to life. And if somebody with sin touches me and tries to bring me back to life, his head will burst and he will die.’

So Mahadeva lay down as a dead body and Devi sat down next to him and started crying really loudly. All the people who had come to take a bath in the Ganga came and asked Devi, ‘What happened? Why are you crying? Why is such a beautiful lady sitting and crying in front of such a beautiful man?’

Devi said, ‘My young husband has died. If anybody without sin touches my husband’s body, he will come back to life. But if you have committed some sin and you touch him, your head will burst and you will die! Can somebody please bring my husband back to life?’

From morning till night, millions of people took a bath in the Ganga, but not a single one dared to touch the body of Mahadeva!

Late at night, a drunkard came by and asked Devi, ‘What happened?’
Devi said, ‘This is the story. If anybody with sin touches my husband, he will come back to life. But if a person with sin touches him, that person will die!’

Devi thought that this guy will start running away like all the others. But instead this drunkard looked at Devi and said, ‘Wait, wait, wait – I heard that Shiva has given a boon.’ So he got into the Ganga and took a bath and came out, saying, “I have committed all types of sins, but now, after taking a bath in the Ganga, I am free of all sins because Shiva has given this boon.’ And he touched the body of the dead man. Naturally, Shiva came back to life and gave him darshan (divine sight) and liberated him.

Then Mahadeva asked Devi, ‘Do you see now? Millions may take bath in the Ganga but how many of them really believe in my boon?’

Through this story, Swamiji explained, ‘Millions may visit temples and perform religious rituals, but how many of them understand the context of what they are doing? So don’t worry, even if I shower everyone with boons, only those who are worthy, who are already in the space of completion and a feeling-connection, will even be ready to receive them.’ From this story, I clearly understand the same truth applies to the over 70 Yogic powers which many were initiated at Kumbh Mela in Ujjain.

In essence, when a Guru’s grace is showered upon you, don’t forget to make the self-effort to remain in the space of completion and a strong feeling-connection. Everything is a gift because man can’t make it on his own. Just make yourself worthy and ready to receive the gifts whenever Existence showers. Namaste. 😀

The Metamorphosis From Inner Awakening

By Ma Durga on January 1, 2016 / My personal journey

On this New Year Day, for the first time, I welcome 2016 with great positivity and new possibilities that it is going to be a phenomenal year! Never have I felt this powerfulness within me in my life, it was only after attending a 21-day spiritual Yoga retreat called Nithyanandoham 1008 with my Guru, Paramhamsa Nithyananda (fondly known as Swamiji) in Phuket last December. So much purifications happened at the muscle memory, bio memory and bio energy levels that it is almost impossible to express the profound experience in words. Fundamentally, words are such poor substitute to describe the intense spiritual experiences and transformation which happened at the very core of my Being.

When I looked back, I could see how my whole Inner Awakening journey was preparing me to receive this ultimate mystical alchemy process. It all started in 2012 when I took a conscious decision to devote time, money and effort for my spiritual seeking during the auspicious 3-year window of conscious shift which began in Dec 2012 till Dec 2015. In Dec 2012 Inner Awakening program, I discovered that I had been suffering from one deep-rooted pattern for many births i.e. the pattern of inauthenticity which stopped me from my spiritual expansion. Inauthenticity comes from fears, ignorance and a wrong self-image. On the last day of Dec 2012 Inner Awakening program, I asked Swamiji to bless me to become authentic and He said “I will do it!” So in the entire year of 2013, I was doing a lot of completions using the science of completion as a technique to align myself back to the 4 spiritual principles of integrity, authenticity, responsibility and enriching self and others. Swamiji guided me to do a major overhaul of my 4 images – Inner Image, Outer Image, Life Image and Others’ Image. That created a fertile inner space for the seed of transformation to sprout.

Then in Dec 2013 Inner Awakening Program, I realised that I had a deep fear of my own Unknown – my huge possibilities but I was not sure how to overcome this fear. One very powerful initiation I received from Swamiji which had helped me to loosen up was ‘Chit-Jata Granthi Bhedana Deeksha’ which means experiencing the ultimate reality that we are pure consciousness. This initiation separates Chit (consciousness) and Jata (matter) so that we can establish ourselves in the Turiya state (pure consciousness). Chit Jata Granthi Bhedana means liberating our consciousness from matter like body and mind, helping us to wake up to the decisive components of life. After this initiation, I became more playful like a child and no longer bothered by incompletions. Swamiji shared this truth – “Man can’t make it, he has to be given”. He told us that he was also given this initiation by Arunagiri Yogishwara, an incarnation of Lord Shiva. Through this strong initiation, I was able to experience the Turiya state as a witnessing consciousness but no thoughts.

In Dec 2014 Inner Awakening was another quantum leap into the mystical plane of experiencing “Shivoham” (I am divine) and awakening to all my possibilities. Some of the new intelligence started expressing through the body included the ability to create a space for transmission of truths as an experience for others as well as the ability to relate with children as a Cosmic mother. My life was very much enriched by new intelligence.

Finally, in the recent Dec 2015 Nithyanandoham 1008 program, Swamiji took the entire group of seekers to a whole new level of alchemy by awakening the God particle in us – the bio energy. I experienced a total re-programming of the muscle memory and bio memory to reflect the purity of divine consciousness.

He explained that there are three parts of a human being – firstly, the part Known to you, but negative which is binding, secondly, the part Known to you but positive which is liberating and lastly, the Unknown part of you. The Unknown part of you is 98%, the positive Known part of you is 1% and the negative Known part of you is 1%. Unfortunately, the Unknown of you” is always handled by the negative Known part of you. Any new situation you always look at it from the negative Known part of you which suffocates you in life. Through the Nithyanandoham process, Swamiji successfully converted the 98% Unknown part of you into positive bio-energy. I can already feel the power of this bio energy which gives me the intelligence to develop the right thought current to live a life with powerfulness, intelligence and strength. There is no room for guilt or powerlessness anymore. What an amazing gift by a living incarnation! A thank-you is not enough to express my heartfelt gratitude to Swamiji for the great gift of Inner Awakening to humanity. May more sincere seekers be touched by the divine alchemy of a living incarnation.

In essence, I can sum up my spiritual metamorphosis from Inner Awakening program in one statement “It is about making you experience the Universe and making the Universe experience you as it is.” The experience of ONENESS with the Cosmos and enjoying life as a divine play of extraordinary powers and spiritual experiences is something I would give up anything just to have this gift by the Guru. In this mystical process, I became more comfortable with playing with the Unknown part of me, living in advaita (non-duality) with the Whole. My entire inner space reverberates with this one cognition – Nithyanandoham (I am Nithyananda), the embodiment of eternal bliss. Every cell in my body, the mind and inner space are bubbling with confidence and powerfulness, the new year augurs well a new life with many possibilities! Stay tuned for more happenings. Namaste 😀

Completion Brings Respect for Your Life

By Ma Durga on July 24, 2015 / Life Solutions

Do you know that all our so-called problems and sufferings in life happen because we have lost the respect for life?

This is the fundamental issue that humanity is facing now, we’ve lost the sensitivity for life due to a huge disconnect with life itself. When I looked back to the days before my spiritual awakening and the issues my clients and students are facing, everything boils down to this one blind spot – respect for your life.

What are the symptoms that show a loss of respect for life?

If you are spending your time in worrying, you don’t have respect for life! When you try to fill your emptiness and restlessness within with material enjoyments like car, house, accumulating bank balance, food indulgence and even in relationships, thinking they will fill the incompletion you are carrying about life. Any addiction you have, whether it is alcohol, smoking, sex, drugs or pornography clearly shows you don’t have respect for your own life! Falling into low mood, depression or any psychological disorder is an indication of your lack of respect for life. Any self-harming or suicidal attempt is a clear sign of abuse of the precious life that you are given!
