Three components of Mind
Bhagawan SPH Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam defines the mind as having three primary components, which are essential for achieving liberation and understanding the self.

Beyond Enlightenment: Why Intensity is Your Ultimate Spiritual Secret – 21st and 22nd Patanjali Yoga Sutras
Enlightenment: A Continuous Happening, Not a Destination Many people mistakenly perceive Enlightenment as a singular event, a final destination. However, as Bhagawan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam reveals, Enlightenment is not a noun; it is a verb. It is a continuous, intense happening, better understood as “enlightening”. While ultimate, it is not final, unfolding moment by moment…

Leader is a person who can handle large quantity of memory with very sharp quality of presence – Patanjali Yoga Sutras 11th sutra
In our fast-paced world, where information floods us daily, the concept of memory often feels like a superpower—the more we remember, the more capable we are. Yet, ancient wisdom, particularly from the Patanjali Yoga Sutras, offers a profound paradox: true mastery over memory lies not just in acquiring it, but in knowing when and how…

Never work out of greed because whatever we achieve is going to be taken away at the time of death. Never become silent and inactive out of fear because there is really nothing to lose.
The question concerning Karma and Sannyāsa, responsibility and renunciation, has been asked from time immemorial, and each time it has been answered. Yet this question remains. Somebody asked me, ‘Why is the Gītā still relevant today?’ I said, ‘Because we never learned it.’ Although Gītā was uttered at least 5,000 years ago it is still…

It is very difficult to connect with a Living Master, but very easy to relate with dead masters!
A person of knowledge becomes arrogant and refuses to acknowledge the limitations of knowledge. Sacrificing knowledge is far more difficult than sacrificing wealth. For a scholar to admit that he does not know is to commit suicide. He is losing his identity. Kṛṣṇa advises the seeker to sacrifice one’s knowledge and one’s intellect at His…

Stopping the effect immediately and rewinding it back to the cause, and the effect merging into the cause is Completion.

One of the great disciples of Vivekananda, Sister Nivedita asks him, ‘Swamiji, if I come with you what will you teach me? What will you give me?’ Vivekananda says, ‘I will teach you how to face death.’ That is the ultimate teaching. Here, Kṛṣṇa is giving that ultimate teaching. In these verses, He is saying…

Just as how the banyan seed is a possibility for banyan tree, you are a possibility for God Himself! When Kṛṣṇa tells us ‘I am God’, He means, ‘You too are God.’ He gives you the courage of authenticity.

This is a very strange statement. He says, ‘One who understands the nature of My appearance and activities will be liberated from this birth and death cycle.’ How can it be? He says, ‘Understand my transcendental nature of birthlessness and deathlessness.’ Just now He said he is birthless and deathless. Ajopi — I am birth less. Just…

These two verses, if they are understood, then not only the whole Bhagavadgita but all the spiritual scriptures can be realized.

Somebody asked me, ‘Swamiji, can dead Masters teach us like Paramahamsa Yogananda, Mahavatar Babaji etc.? If I pray to them, can they show me the path?’ I told him: dead masters are not dead as you think. When they are alive, their presence had a body. When they are dead, their presence has no body,…

Bhagawan Krishna says ‘I am telling you these secrets just because you are my devotee and friend, just because you are near and dear to me’

In the next verse, Kṛṣṇa says: sa evāyaṁ mayā te ‘dya yogaḥ proktaḥ purātanaḥ I bhakto ‘si me sakhā ceti rahasyaṁ hy etad uttamam II 4.3 He says, ‘I am telling you about this very ancient science of the ultimate Enlightenment or entering eternal bliss, and being My devotee and my friend, you will understand…

Just decide that life is for others! All the best things will be showered on you. You will get back to the space you were in when you were born, the purest space of life, the imperishable space!

Violence and killing are not merely physical acts. They are psychological compulsions acted out of incompletion in the physical realm. The ruler of a country who orders warfare against others is the violent one, even if he hides behind his throne. Violence of the mind carries on as the vāsana or desires; the essence of…

When you feel the past is great and the fear of death dissolves, you will not be afraid of changes. A being who is not afraid of changes enjoys the glorious future!

The happening of physical death, the happening of the present dying and becoming past, the happening of new birth, the happening of future being born – all these happen in the same frequency and the cognition with which you operate your life. Most of the so-called developed countries are large scale prisons where you just…
