Experience 16 – Dropping Worries and Enjoying Mental Peace🔗

I was registered for Kalpataru program in Brampton, Canada on March 8, 09. This program was conducted by Swamiji exclusively. During the Kalpataru meditation I just had to make one strong wish and I knew Swamiji would fulfill it by giving his presence. I strongly felt his presence. In this second part of meditation I felt my spine was feeling a strong flow of energy. It was a very blissful moment.

The final climax was during Kalpataru Darshan. When my turn came for energy darshan I forgot the words and was totally speechless. I felt a very strong connection with Swamiji. The tears came continuously. Swamiji blessed me and told me 'I am always with you.' This statement was like a jolt to my system. I was in complete bliss.

My life changed a lot after Kalpataru program. My worries suddenly disappeared. My mind has become very calm. My decisions are getting sharper. I feel strong presence of Swamiji always with me

Experience 17 – Beyond Words

Sitting cross-legged with closed eyes perhaps I would have waited minutes, hours, days, weeks months, years, or lives not knowing how long not knowing what for

Yet ...

with one touch of your thumb on my varanasi one hug, one word, one grin or one moment's presence You gave even though I didn't know what or how to ask

Now someone invisible is doing an abhishekam on me continuously I cannot remember doing anything important to receive such honor

It keeps pouring and pouring a flood that doesn't drown I am floating in an ocean of compassion with a smile etched into my face - Mamata Misra

Experience 18 – Dropping Addictions

On the day of Kalpataru I can honestly say that a tremendous shift happened within me.

I seem to have dropped a few 'bad' habits. My sugar cravings were off the chart. I no longer crave for sweets with the kind of intensity I used to. That dropped by about 90%. My daily TV watching habits for hours was not healthy and I can say that since I have met Master, in the past month I may have turned the TV on no more than 3 times. That daily bad habit seems to have dropped also. During the Kalpataru, an attendee from the previous year's Inner Awakening was talking about her experience and she said, 'If you can go, you must go. If you can't go, you still must go.'

After the program was over I got into my car to go home and I instantly remembered about the program in Bharat. Right then and there I made up my mind that I was going to attend the Inner Awakening in June. I didn't know how it would be possible, but I knew I didn't need to know how. I had Master with me, guiding me. All of a sudden I felt that Master was telling me, 'You don't even have to ask, just let it happen.' I trusted that feeling and drove home with a smile on my face!

The next day I was telling a very dear patient of mine who is also spiritual, about meeting Master and she got so interested and started asking me a lot of questions which brought us to the subject of Inner Awakening. Before I could even finish telling her about the program she offered to send me to Bharat. It is still very overwhelming for me that someone not even related to me would give me this gift! The way my life has already shifted in so many ways since meeting Master and it all happened within a week of meeting him!

Experience 19 – Experiencing Fulfillment

THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM offers many different workshops and meditation courses around the world, but Kalpataru is a one of a kind event that one does not want to miss! Essentially this one-day event boils down all of the teachings of Paramahamsa into one day, words can only fail to express the totality of the day!

At the Los Angeles 2009 Kalpataru Paramahamsa revealed the secret of our human desire: fulfillment. Not only did he penetrate our being with his words and meditations but he also gave us the ultimate experience of being fulfilled. Children received the toys of their dreams, and parents had their worried relieved.

Personally, not only did Kalpataru change my life, but it also touched my being on such a deep level that ultimately made way for huge shifts in my outer world! If you seek fulfillment in all that you do I recommend Kalpataru for you.

Experience 20 – Getting back Vision

I attended the Kalpataru program. In the last meditation the releasing of the energy was incredible. As He directed the release of the energy, with my eyes closed, a brilliant white light was in my eyes, and I felt my entire body shudder and shake quite hard. The movement up my spine from bottom to top was very pronounced, and the Kundalini energy was released. Afterward, I could not stop crying for quite some time, but crying with a smile of happiness and gratitude. People who knew me as well as complete strangers would see me and hug me.

The final part was the Energy Darshan. As I was at the bottom of the steps, about to walk up to be before my Master, I started crying. I am not sure how I walked up the steps and across the stage to appear before Him. As I waited right beside Him, my head was swirling, and then I approached Him, He looked at me and hugged me first without anything else said.

He then asked me to speak, and I told Him I had high blood pressure and was losing my vision rapidly and did not want to go blind. He hugged me again, then held me away and looked at me very directly in my eyes. He spoke to me and told me the words, 'I will heal you, you will not lose your sight,' then placed His thumb upon my Ajna chakra and held His thumb there. He then released it and hugged me again for what seemed quite some time, and my arms went around Him and I had my face buried against Him.

As I walked away down the steps off the stage, I do not know how I made it, I could not feel my feet or legs, and could not see because of the tears. After sitting down I could not stop crying or looking at Him. When I got home, my head was swirling. I went to bed and slept more soundly than I have for quite some time. When I woke up, I instinctively looked at the clock. And I could see it. Without glasses. And without having to move close to it. My vision today has actually improved to the point that at times I even now drive without my glasses.

There is another very big thing that occurred within me at Kalpataru. I now know what it means to truly love someone. No conditions, no strings, no disappointments. When Swamiji looked into my very being, I felt what love is, and knew then and there that all along I had never known until that moment.

My life has changed after Swamiji looked into my very being, it was a moment that will be forever the greatest feeling I have ever known.

Experience 21 – Out of Body Experience

My experience at Kalpataru was amazing. During the first two meditations I felt a great joy, a great release of pressure. I also felt what I can only call a cosmic force working on my being. During the final two meditations the Master gave me my first out of body experience. It was not scared. I did not even realize it was happening. I just glanced down (though my eyes we closed and my head had not moved), and realized that I was clearly not in my body. I tried to move my foot, but I actually had to enter my body to feel that it was asleep. It was then that I realized I had been out of my body. The really amazing thing is that I was very calm about all this. I felt and knew that if this was my first experience sitting with the Master I was blessed.

After Kalpataru, with the daily meditation I have continually felt the divine love pouring out of me. There is a song in my heart, and a dance to my steps that I have not felt since I was 5 years old. My senses have been alive over the past month. With my increased awareness I now can use my hearing to attune to nature and spaces in a way that I never thought was possible Not only are the colors of nature brighter but all my Buddha statues have come to life. I can now fully understand worship of statues and deity in a more meaningful way.

I also am attracting people to me in a positive way. My massage therapy business has drawn new clients easily. I have people coming up to me and telling me of their difficulties in learning meditation (out of nowhere). I just tell them about Nithya Dhyaan and help them get the CD.

Also, I have adopted a more yogic lifestyle to further attune my own vibration as I sit in meditation daily. It is now simple to make the required diet changes whereas before I would struggle with being forced to make any changes that I did not feel was natural. So now I eat vegetarian more frequently.

I have easily dropped my worries about money and relationships and now have more energy to create better relationships with people, money, and everything. I really feel no limit. I am continually learning and growing.
