[FairfieldLife] Nityananda of Ganeshpuri
Muktananda's Guru, Nityananda, appeared out of nowhere, apparently already Enlightened since birth. Never had a Guru. As tradition has it, performed many miracles as a young man such as manifesting candies for children out of thin air. Eventually quit performing miracles when many people can to him asking for winning lottery ticket numbers. Didn't give lectures or formal talks, but rather spoke in short statements more like utterances.His sayings were compiled by devotees and form the book, Chidakasha Gita; part of which is online. http://tinyurl.com/ybqev3vb http://tinyurl.com/ybqev3vb

[FairfieldLife] Nityananda on Pranava
Nityananda says that Pranava (OM) is to be heard incessantly in a constant state of Rapture. This differs from the Willytex definition that Pranava is the TM mantra repeated by the mind. So go figure: ... From a Nityananda website: 122. OMKAR is the elite of all. Omkar is like the dawn of the sun. Omkar is the witness of all. Omkar is the most frightful of all forms. Omkar is fire. There is not a greater thing in this universe than fire. Fire is pervading both internally and externally. In the middle is the earth. The earth is below. Air is above. Air pervades the universe. The universe is in air. The first is air. The second is fire. The first is discrimination. The second is sound. Soundlessness is in the form of air. Soundlessness is eternal bliss. It is existence, knowledge, bliss. The Self should be merged in soundlessness. The visible world is in the Self. When SAT unites with CHIT, Ananda is realized. This Ananda is Vivekananda, Chaitanyananda, Sri Brahmananda, Paramananda, Sri Nityananda, and Satchitananda. What is manliness is the realization of this Ananda. This is Brahma Jnana, Yoga Jnana, Kala Jnana. This Trikala Jnana is in the heart. In the heart is Mukti. Nityananda Mukti is in the heart. Commentary: The constant state of rapture in which Om is heard and experienced without interruption, this state is the elite of all. It is like the dawning of the sun. This is Witness Consciousness. This inner witness is the one who witnesses all. It is the most fruitful of forms. This inner witness is Shiva. Shiva is fire, the Light of Consciousness. There is no greater thing in this world. This Light pervades all the internal and external realms. In the middle of this Light is the earth. Just as air pervades this universe, this Prakasha of Shiva pervades all of existence and nonexistence. Just as there is air before fire and fire needs air to stay lit, first there is Prakasha, Shiva's Light, and then there is Vimarsha which manifests first as sound. Shiva's Light is like a pulsation with no sound, just as air does not make a sound when there is no wind. This Prakasha is eternal Bliss. Shiva is of the qualities of eternal existence, pure knowledge and complete bliss. This is also called Being-Awareness and Bliss (Sat-Chit-Ananda). Your individual consciousness should be merged in the silence of Satchitananda. The visible world is actually contained in Shiva. When Sat unites with Chit, Bliss is the experience. This Bliss is the state that all the deities are named after in different ways. What is called manliness is the realization of God. This realization is wisdom, knowledge, yoga and pure consciousness. This knowledge of Trika, Shiva-Shakti-Nara, is contained in the heart. In the heart is Liberation. The eternal Bliss of the Self is in the heart center in the head.
[FairfieldLife] Nityananda - Nothing can prevent the bond of Love
Late in the evening of August 7, 1961 Nityananda was alone with one devotee and he told him that he would be leaving the body the next day. The devotee was in tears and asked him to change his mind or at least postpone the Mahasamadhi. He replied: It is possible only if a few devotees come forward and make a request; not any devotees but those imbued with desireless devotion, bhava (feeling) and prema (love) Even one such is enough and the samadhi will be canceled. When such a devotee is present, even God cannot take leave without his permission, or be able to disengage himself from the bond of his pure love. http://www.cosmicharmony.com/Av/Nityanan/Nityanan.htm

[FairfieldLife] Nityananda on OM
from http://www.atmajyoti.org Paramhansa Nityananda On Om Avadhuta Nityananda Paramhansa was a great Master of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and the most renowned Pranava yogi of our times. His Nitya Sutras contain some of the most profound statements on the Pranava and Its application by the yogi. Unite meditation, mind, and faith through the subtle Bindu, merge, and attain oneness. (12) Following the path of discrimination, let the pure mind be firmly fixed in Om. (12) The source of liberation is Shiva. The linga in the head is Shiva. It is all Om. (13) Bhakti and mukti, devotion and liberation, are one: become one with Omkar: the power of Om. (21) Where the sound of Om is experienced there is no ignorance. (46) Kundalini shakti and the sushumna are Om. Realize and know the subtle. (47) Omkar is One, the universal force. In Om is the creation and the dissolution of creation. In Om is the dissolution of mind. Omkar is the atman, the eternal self in you. Om is indivisible. (87) All is He, the One pervading all, the One beyond all qualities. He is One, He is Om. (88) All things are forms of Omkar. Omkar is the divine in them, Omkar is the subtle bindu. As the vital air [prana] Omkar pervades all things, inner and outer. (89) God manifests in the form of peace. Om is the form of peace. (90) Omkar pervades the entire universe, Pranava pervades the form. Om has neither form nor shape. (91) The Shiva in the heart is steady, is One, is Omkar. Omkar united with forms is Pranava. Omkar is the disassociation of the bodily awareness. (93) Omkar is all-pervading; like the dawn of the sun, Omkar is the witness of all things. Omkar is the most awesome of [divine] forms, Omkar is fire [agni]. There is nothing greater than fire, all is fire both within and without. (94) The Omkar vibrates like a storm in the sky. It has neither beginning nor end. It is the stage manager of the divine drama. The body of man is a string of Om, it is filled with Om. All that is, inside us, outside us, everywhere, is born of Om. It is present in everything. The Shakti that is the Omkar is not finite, It is infinite and indivisible. It exists in all creatures. Pranava is Om. When Om unites with prana and moves in the body, this is Pranava. When nature and the subtle are separate, it is Pranava; when both are felt to be one, there is the Oneness: Om. Om is seen everywhere. The Shakti that is Om fills and penetrates the universe, It is formless, It is the light in all directions. (95) The energy of the Omkar is like an infinite ocean, It moves in all directions, It pervades all, both inside and outside. In the form of buddhi It becomes creation, preservation, dissolution; It becomes soundless. The unstruck sound merges in buddhi. Buddhi dissolves in the Omkar, all merge and become one. Om and reason, the world and buddhi, the world and Om merge into the heart-sky, the heart-sky merges in buddhi, buddhi into akasha, akasha and buddhi into Omkar, the imperishable and the buddhi merge. (96) Truth is not a religion, Truth cannot be taught. You must discover it in your own self, and then let it expand in Om. Let Shiva and Shakti unite with Om. (96) The highest yoga is eternal bliss, the all-pervading Om, Pranava, the Universal Teacher, is eternal bliss. (114) Om is All: the creator of the universe, the granter of peace. Let your devotion be steady in this creator, this giver of peace; this is the best devotion. (120) The breath of Omkar should be inside you, then there is purity. (124) Om is the City of Peace, the form of Peace. Give respect and gratitude to Om. (151) Use your mind to get knowledge and then unite with peace, finally become one with Omkar. (154) Devotion, reflection, power, all three merge and become Om. The ego melts into the Omkar like camphor melts in fire. (160) The Omkar should be drawn inside with the breath like water is drawn up from a well. And like the pot is let down into the well for a fresh fill, so the exhalation should be released with Om. (161) The sound of Om itself constitutes the Vedas. It is the light of divine wisdom, the fire of intuition. (163) All-penetrating Om is the all-penetrating Pranava. (175)
