I welcome all of you with my love and blessings.

I welcome the University of California, Los Angeles, and Seattle, all the people who have gathered there for Kalpataru Darshan.

And, today, Seattle Nithyananda Vedic Temple celebrates the sixth anniversary!  Blessings to the whole Seattle Sangha, and blessings to the whole Seattle!  My blessings to all of you!  I am with you guys!

Today, Mahadeva is gracing us in the Leela of “PADAI KAATAL”.  Means, he himself creates an army.  Because the army chief spent all the money he got on Shiva Puja, and he prays to Mahadeva, ‘Please create an army for me.  Otherwise the King will ask for accounts.’  And then Mahadeva comes and creates an army.  He himself comes as the chief.  For the sake of his devotees, what all he has to do!  How many things he has to do!  So, today he is gracing us in the Padai Kaatal Leelai.

Today, before entering into the satsangh, I want to make this important announcement.  All over the world, our Sangha, Nithyananda Sangha should become cruelty-free.  Not only we will be vegetarian in our eating, in our lifestyle let us try to bring non-violence.  Means, in so many ways.  Actually, the goat needs its skin more than anybody else!  The elephant needs its tusk more than anybody else!  The tiger needs its skin more than anybody else!  That is why I am not sitting on a tiger skin.  This is a cloth printed tiger-style.......(what Swamiji is using to sit on); understand, it is not tiger skin.  We will try our best to make ourselves cruelty-free, especially all Sangha-related things.  Of course, for all our devotees, life itself is Sangha!  For devotees and disciples and everyone, life itself is Sangha! 

So, I sincerely recommend, even in our life we will stop using leather items where cruelty plays a major role.  Don’t think, ‘Oh, just if I one person avoid wearing leather shoes, is it going to save some goats?’  Surely, yes!  Yes!  It will!  It will! 

So, other than the medical purposes – medical purposes it is okay, it can be exempted – other than medical purposes, I sincerely recommend we will all make our life cruelty-free.  Okay for all you guys?  We will not use the silk which grows by the worms getting killed.  There is a silk without killing worms.  They make out of metal.  Out of copper and gold and silver, they will make zari.  We will use that kind of silk. 

So, let us all do a little research about the things we are using and let us all try to live as much as possible cruelty-free.  May be, if you guys are habituated to a certain kind of lifestyle, it will take may be three months to move from that to this.  Many things, without even knowing, you may be having leather items: leather handbag, leather belt, leather shoes, car seat, leather car seat.  Let us slowly remove all of that.  Even if you have already bought it, slowly stop using.  Once you stop using, you will not buy it again.  We will make ourselves cruelty-free.  We will make ourselves non-violent even in our lifestyle. 

We will also avoid using diamonds.  Because, for diamonds, lot of people have to die!  The diamond industry is the worst industry.  It swallows so many lives!  So, we will also slowly stop using diamonds.  Even on the deity jewelleries, I will start using artificial diamonds.  The natural diamond’s cutting process, during the natural diamond’s cutting process, lot of people die, and it is a blood business!  Lot of bloodshed happens! 

So, all the countries all over the world, especially US – because US only consumes so much, the whole world is sucked!  So, you guys must be using too many things! – try to align everything as much as possible to non-violence.  All our temples, ashrams, centres, you can take maximum three months; and in those three months get back to non-violence.  Everything animal-cruelty-related things should be cleared. 

So, in all our decorations, lifestyle, our personal make-up, even in your personal make-up, you will not be using anything which comes through cruelty, by killing, by torturing.  We will avoid all of that.  This leather-based, so many things are there: lipstick!  That is the big fad!  I don’t know how they put that in the mouth and do “pup...pup...pup”!  Aarrghh!!!  Hmmm?

So, I request you sincerely, all you guys, let us make ourselves cruelty-free, non-violent.

I will continue to expand on how directly Inner Awakening enriches your life.  Please listen! 

Every-day life of a human-being is not as difficult as we go on believing or are made to believe.  And the success is not always hard work.  To tell you honestly, success is never a hard work.  If you are working hard, you will be like a beggar only, who works hard from morning to night and collects one rupee, one rupee, one rupee, one rupee.  Even by night he will be having maximum only thousand rupees.  A person who only makes thousand rupees, a person who earns thousand rupees is never going to become a millionaire or become a successful person.  He may be successful in having food and a little bank balance.  He may be giving loans.  In India, actually, beggars are actually much richer than the middle-class people!  But that is not success!  You cannot use the word “success” for it. 

Most of the time, that immediate cognition you have, decides the quality of your life.  The immediate cognition you have decides your life.  Whether falling in love, or getting married, or taking sannyas, accepting a job, or rejecting a job, or leaving a job, the immediate cognition, THAT plays a major role.  The immediate cognition plays a major role.  Listen!  The immediate cognition plays a major role.  I wanted all of you to listen to this once more:  The immediate cognition plays a major role!  I am repeating it three times.  When you face a situation, what you cognize immediately.  Sometimes, you slowly think, rethink, meditate, contemplate, complete, you do all of that, and then come to certain cognition.  But, please understand, your decision is going to be done only by immediate cognition.  Your contemplation, thinking, everything may influence your decision, but that itself may not be decisively decision-making.  Please listen!  Your thinking, contemplation, analyzing, intranalyzing, all these, at the most can only influence the decision.  They cannot be decisively decision-making.  So, the immediate cognition you carry, immediate cognition you carry plays a major role. 

Please understand, in the Inner Awakening, I am giving you the right immediate cognition.  Because, the immediate cognition goes on functioning in one way in your life, and your intranalyzing, intellectual understanding goes on functioning in another direction.  The gap between these two is called “Vaasana”.  You go on visualizing you will have a happy, beautiful, great family and Sangha around you, joyful employees and employers around you.  But the moment your wife or husband calls, the moment you pick up the phone, ‘Grrrr! Tell me!!!!’  And you justify yourself: ‘Slowly I will change myself.  Later on I will become friendly, loving.  And then they will become friendly, loving.  And then we will become happy family.’  You go on keeping your fantasy alive and go on working in a completely opposite direction!  If I expose you to you, you jump on me, try to bite me!

The “vaasana”.....  In Sanskrit we have a beautiful word – “Samskara”, “Vaasana”.  “Vaasana” means, having the unconscious life patterns which is completely against the reality you want to cause in your life.  Having and working in an unconscious way which is completely opposite to the reality you want to cause for yourself and others.  So, why is this happening? 

Yesterday we were having one of the best processes I have ever designed.  Everyone is telling when they declare their reality, they will have an amazing group of people around them, they will be loving towards them, and they will all be loving towards them.  So such an amazing description!  ‘We will speak into their listening and they will speak into my listening.....lala lala...’  Everyone is declaring their reality as a “La la Land”!  But I told them to take one step: ‘Alright, for this reality to happen around you, the first thing you need to do is ability to speak into the listening of the people.’  Only if you release the gas from the stomach, digestion will happen.  Only if you remove the “vaasanas” from your life, only if you make the person understand his “vaasana”, you will be able to speak into the listening of the person.  In a stomach with gas, digestion cannot happen.  Understand, same way, in a mind filled with “vaasana”, listening cannot happen.  If somebody is filled with “vaasanas”, you will never be able to speak into the listening of that person.  So, the first thing to do is make that person understand he is suffering because of his “vaasanas”.

I told the group, ‘Each one of you will help everyone to identify only one “vaasana” and complete.  That’s all!’  First time I am seeing, the whole group is in such an uncomfortable situation!  They didn’t say “no” to me.  They tried to say “no” in multi-fold ways.  But I am a taskmaster!  “Do it” means, “DO IT”!  First they said, ‘No, no...’  I could see, the people who were telling, ‘I want to create a spiritual community around me...’, they were the most reluctant!  They were saying, ‘No, no, no!’  I said, ‘Nothing doing!  This is your “vaasana”!’

What you want to do and what is the way you are doing, you go on pushing your hope, saying, ‘Tomorrow I will change.  After a few days I will change.  I will change!  Don’t push me too much!  Otherwise I may give up!’  If you give up who cares?  Actually, we blackmail even ourselves:  ‘I will give up!’  I wanted to give them the name “self-blackmailers”!  Self-blackmailing is self-denial.  That is the source of self-denial.  SDHDBM – Self-Doubt, Self-Hatred, Self-Denial, Self-Blackmailing!  Listen!  Self-blackmailing is the source of all the invited diseases; like, when in life your declaration demands you to work more than eight hours, you invite back pain so that you can lie down, you invite cough and cold so that you can lie down, you invite fever, you invite body pain so that you can lie down!  Understand, you tell yourself, ‘If I am forced to work more than six hours, I am going to have leg pain, I am going to have stomach pain, I am going to have headache...’  Understand, this self-blackmailing is the invitation for self-invited diseases.  There are some diseases you inherit, there are many diseases you invite. 

Listen!  The self-blackmailers are the most cunning human-beings on Planet Earth, because they develop the pattern of constant blackmailing from the young age.  If the mother does not give the biscuit, start crying!  If the brother is not giving the chocolate, kick the leg and jump on the floor!  If the sister is not giving the sweet, go and hit your head on the wall!  Self-blackmailing!  I tell you, the peak of the self-blackmailing pattern is suicide!  And peak of the self-blackmailing pattern is inability to decide!  SBM – Self-BlackMailing pattern! 

So, immediate cognition, your immediate cognition, and the cognition which you derive after intranalyzing, when there is a gap, you suffer with “vaasanas”.  I tell you, most of your sufferings are not from “samskaras”; it is from “vaasanas”.  Most of your suffering is not from “samskaras”.  You are not that big a guy that “samskaras” need to come and torture you!  “Samskara” is the strong pattern you build on which your life functions.  “Vaasana” means, the unconscious patterns in which you are functioning, which is completely opposite to the reality you want to cause.  Smell of the “samskara” is “vaasana”.  “Samskara” is like an army, “Vaasana” is like local police.  Listen!  The “vaasanas” you carry continuously inside you, the self-blackmailing patterns you carry, those are the immediate cognition.   

Finally I managed to inspire, convince the participants, and only after going through the process they realized this process literally makes them to stand HUGE in front of them.  It is realizing your own state of Nirvana!  This word “nirvana” has been abused, misinterpreted, wrongly translated as “nudity”.  No!  Nirvana means, “standing in front of you without any covering; you facing you”!  When you find your “vaasanas”, you face you!  The beauty of the “vaasanas” is, the moment you find, it will disappear.  For “samskara” only you need completion.  For “vaasanas”, spontaneous completion is enough. 

I tell you, this was part of the pratyahara that yesterday the Inner Awakening people were doing.  See, for every extraordinary power, Patanjali has given a certain pratyahara, dharana, dhyana.  That pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, Samadhi, all these four put together is called “Samyama”.  Patanjali has given for every special power, siddhi, certain Samyama – special pratyahara, special dhyana, special dharana.  Only Samadhi state is one and the same.  Only pratyahara, dhyana, dharana differs.  Yesterday, first time I revealed the pratyahara for Mano Siddhi, Ishta Siddhi, Ishta Siddhitwa.  To achieve what you want, the pratyahara.  To cause your reality and others’ reality, the pratyahara.  I wanted all gurukul kids to be trained in this process.  May be the Mahants who are managing the Gurukul, both Mahants, can take the notes from yesterday’s class.  And I wanted this to be taught to our kids from the beginning.  Because, I am going to do the next experiment: making a different variety of banana happen in one tree, making a different taste of mango happen in one tree, through the power of the gurukul kids.  I will teach them the Mano Siddhi.  How they made the rose bush drop the thorn, same way the mango tree, just by relating with it, doing this Samyama with that tree, they will make that tree give a very sweet mango fruit! 

Yesterday I saw our gurukul brahmacharis were doing Rudra Homa.  The moment they finished the Rudra Homa, it started drizzling.  We were walking away....and I looked back.  They said, ‘Yes, Swamiji!  Before doing the Rudra Homa, we made an intention it should rain....and it started!’  Otherwise it is not the rainy season!  Our kids are mastering, really mastering the science!  I tell you guys, I will surely produce at least a few thousand siddhas just through the gurukul in the next few years!  Our Gurukul will be like a Harry Potter house!  Harry Potter, he does magic.  Here, our gurukul kids, they will play with the different Mano Siddhis! 

Understand, one of the important qualities of the “vaasana” is, how much ever spiritual awakening, spiritual inner awakening you may do for you, it will just give you one cup of wine and make you sleep.  Over!  It will never allow you to proceed.  The intranalyzed cognition which is the prasada of the inner awakening will never be allowed to become the immediate cognition; that is the power of “vaasana”.  The food you eat will never become energy in your body; that is the power of the gas sitting in your stomach.  Like gas in the stomach will never allow food to be converted as energy, the intranalyzed cognition which is the prasada of the inner awakening, your “vaasana” will never allow it to become immediate cognition.  Understand, the intranalyzed cognition becoming immediate cognition is the work of the Guru.  Guru’s grace is required only there.  But that can happen only if you are completely non-violent, surrendering to the Guru.  Because I expose your “vaasanas” to you, you will experience so much of anger and violence towards the Guru. 

One of our Swamis was trying to train his brahmachari.  This fellow, completely no integrity, no authenticity, cheating, fraudulent, and this Swami was trying to train that brahmachari.  And he says, ‘I am running away!’  As if we are waiting to keep him here!  I called him and told him, ‘You want to run away.  Why do you want to run away?  Pack up your bags and leave!’  I am very clear, I am not going to compromise on dhamma, the strength of dharma, for the sake of number.  No! 

Recently there was a big controversy.  VHP President, Ashok Singhal (VHP = Vishwa Hindu Parishad), has made a statement that all the Hindu parents should give birth to at least five children.  And there was so much of uproar. Some of the media houses funded by petro dollars, to show their loyalty, have started abusing this statement as a wrong statement.  Now I am making a statement:  What Ashok Singhalji said is completely right!  Listen!  Not only you should give birth to five kids, you should bring all of them as per the Vedic Tradition!  It is not just giving birth to five; we have so much population.  Just population is not going to solve our problem.  Bringing them up in the Vedic way!  Pregnancy should happen as per the Garbhopanishad.  Bringing up should happen as per the Gurukul Tradition.  Giving birth and bringing them up, I tell you, if you guys give birth and bring them up in the Vedic way, population will become the strength of India!  Because we are brought up by the slave-making Macaulay’s education system, clerk-making education system, the population is a load on the country.  If you can bring up in the Vedic way, the population will be the strength of the country!  That is why I am telling you, people, just people are not enough.  We need people with the Vedic way of living, the intelligence, knowledge. 

In Rig Veda, there is a mantra:

|| दशास्यां पुत्राना धेहि पतिमेकादशं कृ िध ||

|| daśāsyāṃ putrānā dhehi patimekādaśaṃ kṛdhi ||

(Rig Veda 10.85.35-47)

Means, the lady who is getting married prays:  “Let me have ten children, and may I treat my husband as the eleventh child”.

It has a beautiful meaning.  One, if you live beautifully ten years and give birth to ten children, you will go beyond lust.  By the eleventh kid, you will develop a unique relationship: your husband will become your child, you will become his mother!

I strongly recommend, promote, all my disciples should have at least five kids and bring them all up in the Vedic way.  Either you take sannyas and enrich hundreds of lifes to take sannyas, or, if you are getting married, at least be productive there!  For all my grihastha disciples, devotees, I sincerely give this as a recommendation and request: You will give birth at least to five kids and bring them up in the Vedic way.  And of the five, at least one, let it become a sannyasi.  Let us stop this retirement-based education.  Let us initiate exploring-based education.  Anything in life you explore.  “Exploration” is the tagline of the Hindu way of education.  “Settling” is the tagline of the Western way of education.  What do you mean by “settling”?  You will get a job and settle down.  You will have a career and settle down. 

Listen!  I wanted all our devotees, disciples to make Ashok Singhal’s words true.  What he said should be made to come true.  All of you householders will give birth to five kids.  And if you are a Brahmin by birth, six!  Because, I want one for sannyas and one for Gurukul!  You have four, give me two.  Bring up all your kids, whether it is five or six, in the Vedic way.  Give them the education which helps them to explore.  They should not be constantly visualizing “settling”.  They should be constantly visualizing “exploration”.  From the context of exploration, mistakes never become sin.  From the context of settling, even the right things become dull, routine. 

I will make Siddha Purushas!  Because, this Samyama on Ishta Siddhitwa is such a powerful Samyama, it makes intranalyzed cognition into immediate cognition.  This is going to be a unique contribution from now onwards from the Inner Awakening.  Actually, I wanted one root of the Banyan Tree to be moved a little.  Some roots we have already moved.  Some roots have to be moved.  I was thinking I will tell all our gurukul kids to sit around the Banyan Tree and request the Banyan Tree.  And it will simply move in two days!  With my Integrity and Authenticity I declare to you guys, listen, very soon I will make our gurukul kids to materialize vibhooti and kumkum.  They will not just go around and do Yoga Shows, Mallakhamba Shows.  I also declare with my Integrity and Authenticity, they will not be doing just some magic.  Magic means keep it somewhere and taking it out.  No!  They will be expressing the Mano Siddhi and materializing vibhooti and kumkum!  And they will go around and do live shows!  If somebody tries to abuse them, they will just materialize a defamation notice!  HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...!

When the “vaasanas” are removed, and the intranalyzed cognition, the best reality you want to cause for yourself becomes the immediate cognition, that is called “Ishta Siddhitwa”.  That is where you are successful in the Samyama of Ishta Siddhi, Mano Siddhi.  Initiating all of you in the first level of Mano Siddhi is Kalpataru Darshan. 

Now I will start the Kalpataru Darshan for Seattle-Chidambaram and Bidadi.  Before starting the Kalpataru, I am giving the essence of today’s satsangh.

The essence is:

Let all the intranalyzed cognitions become immediate cognition so that the “vaasanas” are completed, Ishta Siddhi is achieved, postponing stops. 

So, with this, I will move to the Kalpataru process. 

Please sit straight.  Pick up one thought you want to cause as reality, and all the incompletions you carry around that thought.  Write both.  Please take a few minutes and pen down the incompletions you carry.  Pick up any one thought you want to cause as reality, and the incompletions you carry about that thought.  Pen down both. 

(After a few minutes.....................)

Now let us enter into the Kalpataru process. 

Sit straight.  Close your eyes.  Create a space for what you want to cause as reality.  Means, whatever you want to cause as reality, see it is already real.  Visualize and complete with all the self-doubts, self-hatred, denial, and drop it.  Just be in the space of causing your reality.  Visualize what you want is already real.  Namah Shivaya!

KALPATARU MEDITATION IN PROGRESS.....................

Relax.  I bless you all!  The thought you visualize, the space you hold, let it become reality!  Thathaasthu!

We will start the darshan in Seattle-Chidambaram.

KALPATARU DARSHAN IN PROGRESS.....................

I bless you all!  Let you all radiate with Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility and Enriching and Causing eternal bliss, Nithyananda!  Thank you!
