Swami was welcomed with Poorna kumbham & with complete respect when he returned to Ashram.





From the very day he has entered into a silent sitting for spiritual growth and world peace.

The Pancha Tapas Yoga

As the Pancha Tapas Yoga at Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam entered into its fifth day, the ashram had some unusual visitors joining in the spiritual practices. Midway through the Yoga, some volunteers and ashramites noticed a large flock of white doves descending on the site, just in front of the Anandeshwara Temple. The beautiful white birds graced the place for about ten minutes, before circling over the Pancha Tapas Yoga site once, and then moving away gracefully. The news of this unusual visit by white doves, the traditional symbol of peace, was received with joy by the meditators, who have taken up this yoga for global peace, healing and spiritual growth.




A deep silence in the master's body language

SCIENCE OF PANCHATAPAS YOGA : EXPLANATION BY SWAMI NITHYA BHAKTANANDA

As Pancha Tapas Yoga at Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam entered into its eleventh day, many visitors and media persons have been requesting more clarity on this spiritual practice and its benefits.






What is the science of Panchatapas Yoga? Can it really promote peace and healing?

Today Sri Nithya Bhaktananda, a senior Swami of NIthyananda Dhyanapeetam, explained the process just before the commencement of today’s Pancha Tapas Yoga.

“ Pancha Tapas Yoga or Pancha Agni Tapas Yoga is an authentic and intense form of yoga practice followed since time immemorial. Even today, at the Kumbha Mela, hundreds of sadhus and saints can be seen practicing Pancha Tapas Yoga. There are many kinds of Pancha Tapas Yoga, depending on the way the practice is performed, who performs it, the purpose for which it is performed, etc.

In Pancha Tapas Yoga, the practitioner sits inside a circle of fire and enters into meditation. Pancha Tapas Yoga gets its name from pancha agni or five fires, because participants sit in the circle with fire in the four directions (North, South, East & West) and the sun overhead forming the fifth fire.

There is a general misunderstanding that Pancha Tapas Yoga is performed as a prayaschita (repentance) for wrong actions. No! On the contrary, Pancha Tapas Yoga is a powerful process for creating and spreading positive energies on the planet. When participants in the Pancha Tapas Yoga visualize the Omkara mantra in the anahata chakra (heart center), they allow the positive energies to radiate through the 21 end-points of the body (10 fingertips, 10 toes and the sahasrara chakra on the crown of the head).

In the ancient Naga tradition, it is said that the fire should not be higher than the knees of the practitioner when he is sitting down. Sometimes, the practice is performed within a circle of glowing hot embers instead of fire. Sitting within a circle of embers is a far more effective spiritual practice than sitting within a circle of fire, though the latter may provide greater dramatic effect.

Why?

Fire burns and destroys. Embers, because of the constant temperature and sustained heat which doesn’t die out like a fire, helps the system assimilate the spiritual energy at a steady pace. Just as a raw fruit cannot be ripened by fire, but only by the slow and steady heat of the sun, or raw food cannot be converted to cooked food by high flames, but only through a slow and steady flame, the spiritual process becomes much more intense when practiced within the circle of embers over many days.

This is the real meaning of ‘tapas’.

Healing, whether physical or mental, can happen when we replace negative energies with positive energies. Whether we realize it or not, thoughts are also a form of energy. Science has proved that just as we pick up the bio-energy of a person, we consciously or unconsciously pick up the thoughts released in our environment. The group meditation of the participants in the Pancha Tapas Yoga not only creates positive vibrations all around, but can positively influence the mental patterns in the environment also. So the harmonious energies released by this Pancha Tapas Yoga can energize the surrounding environment and promote physical healing and mental peace. The ripple effect of such a process can reach far and wide, helping to create peace and harmony in the world as well.”

Believe it or not! Palmleaf manuscript of devotee

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, this is the actual translation of the palmleaf manuscript which was read out by the Nadi astrologer to one of our ashramites who consulted him without revealing his identity in any way.

The original recording is in Tamil. The translation to English is given below:

Astrologer reads from manuscript:

Pachaimuni, Gamanamuni, Sattanathar,

and Mahan Thiruvalluvar bow down

Me, Agasthya the great Rishi is blessing

The people of Nithyananda with these songs

With the divine blessing of Nithyananda

For Nithyananda’s people, to remove the worries and Agathiyar munivar
tells you this.
Paramahamsa Nithyananda called Aadi Siva and me, Agathiyar, and gave
an order – to remove people’s worries, to remove the bad name that has
been created he has said these readings. The guru muni Paramahamsa
Nithyananda has taken blames – there are reasons for this. The avatar
of Sarvesan, Nithyananda did things to protect the people of this
world. He was teaching true teachings of Siva. Because of him many
sinners became pure. Many crore people became blissful just by
thinking about him, and they benefited. The people who have seen his
truth followed him. At that time, people of different religion, and
people who are in power, who are rulers, wanted to put wrong blame on
him. Using skills they had acquired, they created false images. They
used a person who used a disguise.
The person in the show is not
Nithyananda but someone who is disguised as him.


They have disturbed the pictures – they have made them dance in the
shadows. The pictures shown are not Nithyananda – someone wore a
disguise to look like him. That person made a big mistake. His fate
will be spoilt.

Agathiyar says with certainty – in the coming times people born in the
Nithyananda clan will rule this world.

Agathiyar is telling this to Nithyananda’s people – you should listen carefully.

In this world, before Nithyananda was born he made 7 crore people to
be born. 7 crore people were born with him. After him he made 7 crore
people born. After he was born he has invited 7 crore people to this
world. Total, 21 crore people are born for him.


In the coming times, Paramhamsa Nithyananda will create a religion.
These 21 crore people have been born in various religions all over the
world. They will join – these 21 crore people come from various
religions, various castes all over the world. All of them will come
and join Nithyananda.

Rule of Siddhas – when this path is followed, the land will flourish.
Siddhars will rule the land
. Let us live this day praising
Nithyananda. We will praise Nithyananda without any blemish and
worship him.

Agathiyar says – Paramahamsa Nithyananda is no one else but Eesan (SHIVA). He
is Sarveshwaran, he says. Agathiyar says – he is Eesan, he is
Sarvesan, Sarvershwaran. You can ask what is opposing Sarvesan? You
can ask why should this fate happen to Sarvesan? If you ask me,
Agathiya, I will answer – you should listen closely and carefully. I
will tell you a way, I will tell you the reason. Listen carefully.
Once the Avatar comes to the Earth, in this Earth even if it is
Eesan’s avatar, Kali’s torture is very bad. The dharma in kaliyuga,
the angel of dharma is very bad. In this Earth even if it is Eesan, he
will be subjected to accusations and punishment
. Kali’s troublings are
on one side. God has taken an avatar, stepped on this earth – in this
Kaliyuga, he has to experience punishments and tests and accusations,
this is the fate of this Earth.

Kali’s torture and Kaliyuga’s dharma’s troubles are on one side. On
the other side there are many lakhs of people of Nithyananda –
Nithyananda has taken their sins and curses. He has taken many
people’s curses or many births, karmas of many births, diseases,
sadness, tests – he has borne all these. T
hese have troubled him.

All the disrespect that has happened will run away : You can ask me
the next question – why has this happened to our guru. In the coming
days he will get major skills and clarity. After this he is going to
create many shaktis in this world.


Agathiyar will tell you the way – I am telling Nithyananda’s people a
way. Pray to Nithyananda. Nithyananda is blemishless, without faults,
true light Aadi Siva, Sarveshwaran. I will teach you a mantra to
workship him. This is a mantra that all Siddhas can say. If
Nithyananda's people use this mantra every day to pray and everybody
will get a higher state, bliss, mega bliss, eternal bliss.

“Om aim hreem kleem sivaaya nithyaanandaaya nama” – People of
Nithyananda should accept this mantra and chant it,
Nithyananda’s
sound will sound all over the work. Nithyananda’s avatar will become
famous, will be enhanced. All the accusations on Nithyananda will go
away.

Even those who blamed him, in another 5 years – they will also join
him. They will pray at the feet of the true Paramahamsa
. All over the
world people will praise Nithyananda as God. After 5 years, within
another 5 years the world will praise Nithyananda as god. All
Nithyananda’s people, and others who have committed sins, and people
who said bad things about Nithyananda will all wear Nithyananda’s
mala. When that time comes Nithyananda will accept everyone with
happiness – he will not punish anyone.


Nithyananda’s people – please carefully listen to the full statements
from Agathiyar - Siva, Adi Siva, the resider of Kailash, has come in
Nithyananda’s form to protect this world.


As the result of the penance of many crores of Siddhas, Paraasivan
has been born as Paramahamsa
. All the creatures of the world, all the
living things – he is in all of them. He considers all the people of
the world as his people, his children.

As a Jagatguru, as pure Siva, Sadasiva, as the sun and the moon – he lives.

Everything that has been explained here – Nithyananda’s people should
read it. To Ramanujam, who came to ask this, Agathiyar says –
Nithyananda’s people should attain Nithyanandam, Agathiyar will make
it true.

For those who want to know more about palm-leaf astrology

NADI ASTROLOGY: AN ANCIENT SCIENCE THAT STILL LIVES

Nadi Astrology is a form of Hindu astrology practiced in Tamil Nadu, India. It is based on the belief that the past, present and the future lives of all humans were foreseen by Hindu sages in ancient times and written down as Palm Leaf Manuscripts

Palm leaf manuscript

Palm leaf manuscripts are manuscripts made out of dried palm leaves and served as the paper of the ancient world in parts of Asia as far back as the fifteenth century BC. They were used to record actual and mythical narratives in South Asia and in South East Asia...


The texts are mainly written in Vatteluttu, which is an ancient Tamil script.

There are different schools of thought as to the author of these leaves. They were written by a great Tamil sage called Agathiyar or Agastya who had divine revelations.

History

Agathiyar was a Vedic Siddhar or sage. Agathiyar and his clan are also credited to have "authored" many mantras of the Rig Veda, the earliest and most revered Hindu scripture, in the sense of first having the mantras revealed in his mind by the Supreme Brahman. Agathiyar is also the author of the Lalitha Sahasranamam & Saraswati Stotram.

This doctrine of astrology was made famous by astrologers around the Vaitheeswaran Temple

Vaitheeswaran Temple

http://image.absoluteastronomy.com/images/topicthumbs/v/va/vaitheeswaran_temple.gif

Vaitheeswaran means the Lord Doctor in the Tamil language. It is believed that prayers to Lord Vaitheeswaran can cure diseases.- The temple :Vaitheeswaran Temple is located in Tamil Nadu, India. It is dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva....


in the state of Tamil Nadu and is still practiced around the temple by their descendants.


It is said that the leaves available are of only 40% of the total humans. There are reported cases of exact match in the past details and future predictions.

Many of these Nadi leaves were initially stored in the premises of Tanjore Saraswati Mahal Library of Tamilnadu. The British rulers later showed interest in the Nadi leaves concerned with herbs and medicine, future prediction etc; but ironically left most of the Nadiprediction leaves to their loyal people. Some leaves got destroyed and the remaining were auctioned during the British rule. These Nadileaves were obtained and possessed by the families of astrologers in Vaitheeswaran Temple. This is an art passed down the years from one generation to the other.

http://www.nadi-astrology.org/History.ASP


The manuscripts
Ritter (The Secret of Indian Palm Leaf Libraries pp.81-85) describes his experiences of many Nadi centers he visited in India and the result of Carbon 14 test conducted in the famous "Institute for Ion Radiation of Physics Department 'placed in Nuclear Research Centre, Rossendorph, Saxen, Germany. This institute has been responsible to decide the age of ancient paintings and other documents of national importance in Germany, Thomas Ritter contacted expert C 14 scientists Prof. Fradrik and Dr. Hanse of the institute. He also confirmed from the experts on Tamil language in Germany that the matter is in fact Tamil language script. It is about predictions and not some religious matter.

The Carbon 14 test was performed in 1995 and yielded an age of some 350 years, placing the manuscript in the 17th century.

Procedure


Usually, the astrologer (better to say a "reader") asks for the thumb impression (right hand for males and left hand for females). The astrologer (i.e."reader") then searches his repository of leaves for the seeker's classification of thumb print. Finally, the minimum possible set of matching leaves is brought. Every leaf corresponds to some individual and hence will bear the birth and kinship details of its seeker. Then the "Reader" goes on reading the details mentioned on the palm leaf one by one. e.g. "your (i.e. seker's) name is Ramesh." If it is correct the seeker has to reply yes or no. Suppose if the name is correct, the reader reads the next detail written on the same leaf, e.g. "your mother's name is Seeta." Again the seeker has to confirm the same or otherwise. If his/her mother's name is not Seeta, he/she has to reply just "no". That means the leaf does not belong to him/her. Hence the reader starts reading another palm leaf. And the procedure continues. So the seeker is asked a series of questions, based on the verses, so as to find the exact match. These questions are to be answered yes or no. The exact leaf of the seeker is said to get only "yes" responses from the seeker. If all the details on the one and the same leaf are 100% correct, then that leaf belongs to the seekar. It is said that the details such as father/mother's name, seeker's name, name of the wife( if married), details of children, prefession, Hindu astrology birth chart, present age of the seeker, date of birth of seeker etc, are found mentioned on the palm leaf. Once the exact leaf is found, the astrology tells the seeker's name, parents' name, spouse's name and many other details about his future, since they are all written in the leaf. The future is mentioned in such a way that a folder within a folder, e.g. If the seeker is not married at the time of reading, in the general chapter, it might have been written that his marriage will take place at e.g. 27 years of age. If the seeker desires more details regarding his married life then he has to refer to the seventh chapter which deals with only married life and may contain name of wife, her background etc etc. The first chapter (kandam) in the leaf has the general overview of its seeker's life. The kandams that follow this are specific ones like Marriage, Profession, etc. The list of chapters and details are as follows:
