Divyasharira or Divine Physiology, Attributes of an Avatar – XI
The Sanskrit word ‘divyasharira’ is sometimes translated as ‘divine body’, but the phrase hardly conveys the full scope of the original term. The seemingly physical form assumed by the Avatar when He descends to the human frequency is called a divyasharira. Though appearing similar to the human form, the physiology is far from that of…

Bigata Vajra, Attributes of an Avatar – X
Bigata Vajra is the ability to spontaneously return to health under any conditions, referred to in the Linga Purana as a quality of Shiva Himself. This quality was demonstrated in December 2015, when Paramahamsa Nithyananda defied medical science with a spontaneous recovery from the dreaded dengue. In December 2015, while in Phuket, Thailand for conducting…

Susadha, Attributes of an Avatar – IX
Described in the Linga Purana, Susadha translates as ‘one who helps to calmly bear pain.’ This attribute applies not only to the Avatar, but also to his disciples, who would have a similar capacity to calmly bear pain. Scientifically, pain is described as an unpleasant sensation caused by a noxious stimulus, and mediated along certain…

Ardhanarishwar (Union of Shiva-Shakti), Attributes of an Avatar – VIII
An Avatar is the physical manifestation of the metaphysical union of Shiva-Shakti. He exists in the state of pure Consciousness (Shiva) even as He manifests as an embodied form (Shakti).

Shiva Akarshana, Attributes of an Avatar – VII
Shaiva Agamas, the authoritative scriptures revealed directly by Lord Shiva, declare that we are all nothing but Shiva Himself. Hence the mantra ‘Shivoham (Shiva I Am)’ or Nithyanandoham (Eternal Bliss I Am)’ are used interchangeably, as the Avatar of Paramahamsa Nithyananda is nothing but Shiva Himself, as are all of us. Realigning our physical, mental and psychological states to be in tune…

Shakti Akarshana, Attributes of an Avatar – VII
Unlike the binary system of classical information transfer (0/1), at the level of quantum mechanics, qubits of information or energy can exist simultaneously in Advaita – the state of being non-binary or non-dual. The potential energy of the Cosmos, which is in a constant state of emergence (spanda or virtual particles) is called Shiva. The instantaneous manifestation, which is…

Vijnana Akarshana, Attributes of an Avatar – VI
True knowledge, intuition and right cognition are the specific attributes needed for a being to get enlightened. Paramahamsa Nithyananda effects this in His disciples through special processes involving initiation, teaching and transforming the disciple to live in a state of Completion, which decreases the number of normal thoughts, and increases clarity and energy. Opening of the third eye or ajna…

Akashic Readings, Attributes of an Avatar – V
Einstein’s theory of special relativity has already proven that Space and Time are intractably linked, and that time exists as a dimension along with every aspect of space. Thus, past, present and future exist simultaneously. Classical information is stored in the form of bits. At the quantum level, information is stored in the form of qubits. Qubits are nothing but elementary…

Deeksha Akarshana, Attributes of an Avatar – IV
The attribute of initiation or deeksha is unique to enlightened masters and Avatars. As an Avatar, Paramahamsa Nithyananda is able to initiate the disciple into achieving entrainment or coherence with His own attributes, by transferring to the disciple immense quantities of pure Cosmic energy in the form of bio-energy. Special deekshas like Third Eye Awakening, which involves activating the ajna chakra…

Spiritual Healing, Attributes of an Avatar – III
The spiritual healing process is nothing but realigning the human physiology at the gross, molecular and genetic levels – which correspond to the physiology, muscle-memory and bio-memory. Non-alignment at any of these levels leads to ill-health or disease, which can be reprogrammed by a transfer of bio-energy from the Master to the person requiring healing, effecting changes not only at the…

Purnatva (Perpetual Completion), Attributes of an Avatar – II
The ultimate state of Enlightenment is the no-mind state, or to put it more accurately, the state in which the observer is dissociated from his emotions and thoughts, leading to a significant drop in the number of thoughts created. For the seeker, the sincere practice of Unclutching® or the conscious dissociation from thoughts, leads to a state of purnatva or…

Kalpataru, Attributes of an Avatar-I

Kalpataru is a wish-fulfilling divine tree described in the Hindu puranas (historical epics). The Avatar is known as a kalpataru due to His special attribute of fulfilling the wishes of devotees through a blessing or initiation. Normally, any person would be generating hundreds of thoughts from every cell of his body. During a process of meditation, the devotee is asked…
