Experience 22 – Realizing the Meaning of Life🔗

Before meeting THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM in Kalpataru, life for me was more of an endurance test than about experiencing any deep, fulfilling joy. The common challenges from work and personal life were taking a burden while keeping me on a continuous state of high stress. Life in itself was becoming almost tasteless.

During the Kalpataru, the inner events of self-perception and understanding that took place inside myself, produced a tremendous change in the way I see life. In particular, during the meditation session, the inrush of energy that I felt flowing through my body and the understanding about how to become aware of our own thoughts and let them be without affecting us changed the way I perceive myself and relate to life forever.

After his introduction about what he was going to do for the program and what he expected from each of us, I was thinking, 'What is going on? This is not an ordinary intelligent person, there is a tremendously beautiful and powerful healing factor in his words and movements!' From that point on, each one of his words throughout the day touched me intensely and deeply, they also propelled me into a very profound transformation that is still taking place.

'Be un-clutched', 'add life to your years, not years to your life', 'let me explain…', his words began to feel like nectar and I could not take enough of them. No more 'Life is such a burden', 'I feel depressed', 'How many lives do I have to live yet?', 'Oh, my karma…'!

Somehow, the Divinity shaped in his human body reaches you far beyond his speech! He simply helps you understand what life is really about. Choose to understand and try it! You might find yourself feeling so free and blissful. Spread the word – you can live the real life, a better life. Help has arrived.
