For most Yogis worldwide, Enlightened Master Patanjali is the Father of Yoga. He presented to the world a system called Ashtanga Yoga, comprising eight dimensions of Yoga, some 3,000 years ago, which is the foundation for most Yoga practices today. Little do we know, however, that Yoga was, in fact, first revealed in great detail over 60,000 years before Patanjali. Unfortunately, many Yoga Gurus worldwide stop at Patanjali, not digging deeper to find the source and intention behind the Science of Yoga.
3 Sacred Truths About Yoga
To catch a deeper understanding of Yoga, the reader must first understand the following three sacred truths about Yoga:
- Yoga is from Paramashiva – Yoga did not originate from Patanjali. Patanjali is the “organizer,” not the “originator.” Yoga was first revealed to the world by Paramashiva within the Agamas.
- Yoga is from Hinduism – Yoga cannot be developed or separated from Hinduism. It is a perfect system revealed by Paramashiva as a complete science with a clear purpose and intention. You cannot create on Paramashiva; Altering Yoga is a dilution, not a development.
- Yoga is the Science of radiating Enlightenment – Yoga is not just a practice of keeping you healthy; it goes much beyond; it is the Science of manifesting powers and releasing Enlightenment.
Throughout Hindu history, after the revelation of Yoga, great yogis and Sadhus practiced Yoga to acquire the best physique and physiology to manifest the state and powers of Paramashiva. Ultimately, Yoga is for awakening the Kundalini Shakti, awakening the inner powers, and merging the individual consciousness with the Cosmic Consciousness. Aghoris, Sadhus, and Sannyasis have always exemplified these yogic powers and demonstrated incredible feats such as materialization, remote viewing, blindfold reading, and much more. This is authentic Yoga!
A perfect, complete science from Paramashiva
Yoga is a perfect, complete science revealed by Paramashiva Himself, who has considered all body types of the past, present, and future. As such, it cannot be improved upon. The secular world has diluted this great Science for modernization and commercialization, but understand, if you’ve practiced something in the name of Yoga, you should always ask your instructor for an apparent reference. Where did this technique come from?
The Revival of Authentic Yoga
Nithyananda Yoga is the revival of THE original Shashtanga Yoga, revealed and gifted to the world by the living Avatar and THE SPH BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, precisely as per the original intention of Paramashiva, not as mere physical exercise, but as a clear path to manifest yogic powers, and ultimately, Enlightenment.
It emphasizes the importance of breath control, meditation, and asanas to achieve self-awareness and inner peace. Shashtanga, from Sanskrit, means ‘six limbs’ referring to the six aspects of Yoga that are emphasized in the Yoga practice:
- Yama: The ethical principles and codes of conduct that guide our actions worldwide.
- Niyama: The personal practices and disciplines that help us cultivate self-awareness and inner peace.
- Asana: The physical postures designed to strengthen the body and improve flexibility.
- Pranayama: The breath control exercises that help us regulate our breathing and improve our overall health.
- Pratyahara: The practice of withdrawing our senses from external distractions and focusing our attention inward.
- Dharana: The concentration techniques that help us focus our mind and achieve a state of meditation.
Nithyananda Yoga – Divine Initiation onto the path of Enlightenment
Nithyananda Yoga, however, is not just the practice of Yoga; it is the “initiation” into Yoga by a Living Avatar of Paramashiva! As the embodiment of Paramashiva – the Cosmic Superconsciousness, THE SPH BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM can infuse Cosmic Energy into everybody and raise them to His frequency through the process of Shaktinipada, entangling their consciousness with His, from the context of Oneness.
The practice of Nithyananda Yoga effectively prepares the body to sustain the energy of the initiation of the Master, resulting in a perfect, healthy yogic body radiating Shaktis, the powers, grace, and glory of Paramashiva. While ordinary Yogic paths require years and sometimes even lifetimes of effort, this unique path has THE SPH BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Himself initiating and awakening the highest possibilities within us. With this, we can effortlessly align ourselves from the context of Oneness with Paramashiva, where all possibilities and yogic powers or Shaktis manifest.
Every Nithyananda Yoga technique is foolproof, time-tested, powerful, ancient, and designed and developed from the space of superconsciousness. Every technique is provided for us to tune all aspects of ourselves – the nervous system, muscle memory, and our consciousness itself, to the highest frequency of Paramashiva, to evolve us into a new, superconscious species – into Divine Beings!
