Introduction (3)

The Lineage of Yoga

Throughout the Hindu history, after the revelation of Yoga by Sadashiva Himself, great Yogis and sadhus practiced Yoga to acquire the best physique and physiology to manifest the state and powers of Sadashiva. This authentic Yoga.

Aghoris, sadhus, sannyasis have always exemplified the yogic powers and demonstrated incredible feats.  The miracles and extraordinary happenings written about in our Puranas are all true.  Krishna lifted the Govardhana Hill with just the strength of His little finger. Sadashiva destroyed the Tripurasura with just the power of His third eye. Every iracle hat you've ever read about or seen in a depiction of the Puranas is more real than the book in your hands and the four walls surrounding you.

Yogis of Hindu history, just 100 years ago, were the living proof that this is true.  Just 400 years ago, Baga Kinaram was a great aghori, considered an incarnation of Sadashiva Himself, who flamboyantly express powers.  He would roam the space of Varanasi in a flying cot He would take.

Finally, even just 30 years back, Yogananda Puri was alive on Earth, shamelessly showcasing the shaktis from the Hindu shastras.  He was born in 1921 in a small village in the outskirts of Tiruvannamalai.  He grew up practicing the traditions of the Natha Sampradaya and evolved into a powerful Yogi roaming all over India.  For a long time he resided in what is now Burma until in 1948 when the British split India into smaller countries, after which he returned to Tiruvannamalai and settled down.

But it wasn't until 1978, the cosmos Itself was born in a human body.  In the twilight hour of the morning, He assumed the body isdie His mother's womb.  His name was Rajasekaran and He would later be known to the world as Paramahamasa Nithyananda.

Yogananda Puri was in the young Avatar's life from the beginning on.  The Avatar Paramahamsa Nithyananda describes the extraordinary power that Yogananda Puri carried.  He says, "My Guru, Raghupati Yogi, he is extraordinary; forget about him.  He is totally a body of miracles!  He is just a bunch of miracles!  That's all! Anything he does will be miracle.  He will just sip the cold water through the nose, and spit that water through mouth, and it will be boiling water!  I have seen the kind of a play he will do.  And he will sip the hot coffee through the mouth, and just start releasing that through the nose.  By the time, it reaches the ground, it will become ice-ball, please understand, ice-cube!  Means, he can play anything with his body!  He can make his body as hot boiler or freezer!  I have seen with my own eyes, he cooking just by touching the pot!  In the mud pot, he will put water, rice, and just touch it.  In two minutes rice is ready!  He will tell, 'Come on, eat!'  The kids of a heat he will generate through his body, or cold he can generate through his body! His body was a freezer, boiler, all put together!  Early morning, when he wakes me up and takes me to the temple to teach Yoga, during this Margazhi month, the water will be very cold.  I have seen him doing this multiple times.  He will just point the area where I am taking bath.  That area will be warm.  Sometimes, even hot water!   In the temple tank, he will put his finger and say, 'Come on.  Take bath!'  It will be warm water or hot water; never I felt the cold!  That is a totally different level.  I am talking, normal, so-called, your plane.  And my grandfather - the kind of a faith he had about his body! We are the last generation who have seen those kind of people.

"Paramahamsa Nithyananda remembers that at the end of his life, "I told my guru, Yogananda Puri, 'I will build a biy samadhi and temple for you!  That should be the way I show my gratitude for you!'

He laughed at me and said, "I will make sure when I leave the body you will not be around me!  And you don't get hold of my body!  It will be buried in the normal cremation ground, and you will not be showing your gratitude to me in that way!  Make thousands and thousands of Yogis.  I am grateful to be a part of your mission".  Even until the end, Yogananda Puri never once let Paramahamsa Nithyanada touch his feet or do any kind of service.  He always knew that he was the one blessed to play a part in the grand mission of Sadashiva Himself.

Now, Paramahamsa Nithyananda has promised not only to make thousand of Yogis but lead the whole world into a conscious awakening.

He has recontextualized the entire evolution in the grand scheme of the universe.  He declared, "Amoeba to fish is physical breakthrough.  Fish to monkey is physical and mental breakthrough.  Monkey to man in physical, mental and conscious breakthrough.  Man to super human is physical, mental, conscious, superconscious breakthrough."  The Avatar bhagwan Paramahamsa Nithyananda is creating a SUPER CONSCIOUS breakthrough!
