Our Personal Healing Miracles
There have literally been tens of thousands of healing miracles that happened in the last 5 years and hundreds that happen every day. As of today, Nithya Spiritual healers touch over thousands of people every day in tens of countries and provide free spiritual healing services. I wanted to share a few miracles that happened in our own lives.
My Cure from Diabetes
I was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 32. There is a very long history of diabetes from both sides of my family. Both of my grandfathers were diabetic. My father was diagnosed as a juvenile diabetic. He was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 14. However, none of us knew about his ailment until he had severe health problems and complications from hypertension and edema (swelling of the legs). At the time of my diagnosis we were living in Voorhees, New Jersey. I was feeling quite tired every day. I would come back from work and just feel like sleeping all the time. I did not know what this was due to and never even considered going for a physical check-up. All I thought was maybe I am putting in long hours at work so let me get some rest. We received a call from an insurance agent working for Met Life Company. He came to our home and convinced us that we needed insurance. Part of the insurance process is to do a complete medical check-up including detailed blood work. A week or so after my blood sample was taken, they found elevated levels f blood sugar and he told me that our premium may need adjustment since they felt I was a diabetic. This was the first time I came to know about my diabetes.
I went through detailed medical examinations and the results came back as positive. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. The physician asked me to take medication every day. I was on glucophage based medication. Also, since I was a young diabetic, they prescribed me another medication that seemed to help with protecting the kidneys. I do not know the exact name of the medicine but recall they were called alpha inhibitors. I was also told to measure my fasting blood sugar and blood sugar levels after one hour after meals. I purchased the kit to measure my blood sugar levels at home. For most part, with medications my blood sugar levels were in control. My fasting blood sugar levels tended to be around 100. I would also measure the blood protein levels (also called hemoglobin A1c or glycohemoglobin; This test measures average amount of glucose present in the blood over the last 2 to 3 months and helps the doctor to determine how well a treatment plan is working to control the patient's blood glucose levels over time). My long term averaged 5.8 to 6.2 which I believe was border line.
Eight years later, I met THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. I did not tell him about my diabetes until the second meeting when he came back for the USA tour in February 2004. He simply said, "Don't worry. I will take care". Almost 4 ½ years have passed since this statement. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM told me to continue on the medications. He always tells people they should continue with their medications as before and whatever needs to be done from His side He will do. In my case, I did not listen to His advice and stopped medications few months after THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM's healing. I am writing this since all readers should not follow me in that they should continue their medications and other regimen prescribed by their physicians. I have continued to check my blood protein tests on a bi-annual basis. The levels of the hemoglobin A1c is now more or less stable and at the level of 5.2. This is considered below normal by physicians. I am not on any particular diet and do not feel any symptoms of the disease. I know I have been cured of diabetes.
My Coffee Addiction
I have been drinking coffee since my childhood. Somehow in South Bharat we were used to drinking coffee from as long as I can remember. I remember drinking a glass of coffee every morning from age 8 onwards! When I came to America, my coffee consumption increased substantially. I would consume 4-5 cups of coffee a day. By 10 am, I would have had at least 3 cups of coffee – one in the car on the way to office, two cups as soon as I got to office and another cup around 10 am. Days when I missed coffee, I would have a headache and a feeling of numbness in my head. I think I would classify myself as a coffee addict!
When THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM came back to USA for the tour in February 2004, he stayed with us in our home in Oklahoma City. When I mentioned to him about my coffee addiction, he asked for a bottle of honey. He held the bottle for a moment and told me to consume the honey and this addiction would disappear. I consumed the honey over the next several days. Immediately I began to notice that I no longer suffer from these headaches when I do not consume coffee. I still consume 1 or 2 cups of coffee every day, sometimes I do not consume any coffee. So I know my addiction to coffee is not with me anymore.
Miraculous disappearance of tumor like mass
It was sometime in summer 2004. Ma Sachitananda would go for an annual mammogram examination. This year the doctors found a very geometrically shaped mass. The doctors were quite concerned. They said a geometrically shaped mass is always a concern to them since the probability that it could be malignant is high. They asked her to come back three days later for a biopsy so that they can determine if this tumor was malignant.
This incident happened during THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM's second trip to US in the year 2004. Ma Sachitananda called and informed THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM about this on the day biopsy was to be scheduled. He immediately told her, "Just think of me during this procedure and I will take care". Ma Sachitananda requested the nurse that she would like to keep her mala blessed by THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and they agreed. She held on to the mala. The doctors tried to locate the tumor so that they can make an incision to obtain a sample for tests. To their surprise there was no evidence of a geometrically shaped mass any more. They were confused and brought up the x-ray of the mass they took only three days ago. Ma Sachitananda this time was in a meditative mood, thinking of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and holding on to the mala. After several minutes they gave up and said they cannot explain what has happened, but now there was no tumor like mass and that she was good to go.
There is no logical explanation of what happened in this case. We know for sure it was He who took care of this. If this is a stray incident we can brush it aside. But there are thousands of such incidents that are happening all over the world.
Take for example, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM's secretary, Ayya. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2001. He was not able to consume any food and weighed only 70 pounds – frail and very sick. He was taken to leading medical hospitals and doctors in Chennai. All of them said there was not much that could be done and recommended he get his estate in order. They said he had only few months to live. In 2001 THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM was living in a hut on the banks of Cauvery River near Erode in Tamil Nadu. This was a year after his enlightenment experience and he found that through touch he was able to cure people. Word of this spread to the villages and towns nearby and people would come to THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM for healing. He was all by himself and food was being delivered to him by local villagers and restaurant owners. When Ayya approached THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, he gave him a little rice from his hand and told him to eat it. Within a week of this encounter, ayya started feeling better. He was able to eat and started looking better. In the months that followed Ayya's health steadily improved and today, almost seven years after this incident, he is free from cancer and is a healthy individual. Ayya was from a business family and served as a managing director of the family's spinning mills. As a result of this cure, Ayya and Amma became the first ashramites and helped start THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM's mission. I am sure Ayya's experiences will be chronicled in his reminiscences in much greater detail.
Healing research and openness to scientific study and scrutiny
If I start talking about these healing incidents, the list will be thousands long. If there is one incident we can say it is a fluke, an accident, a placebo effect of whatever logical explanation we can give. But when we see healing happening all over the world, with people from all economical, social, racial or cultural backgrounds, even the logical mind needs to take a step back and wonder as to what is happening.
THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM tells us that healing is also a science. This science is based on subtle energy. Just because modern science has not yet developed instruments and methods to logically measure this subtle energy, it does not mean the healing science does not exist. And one more thing, whatever we cannot measure with logic or with the current understanding of Science, we call it a miracle.
THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM is now very keen to develop a methodical system of scientific research to quantify the effects of healing. In the medical research, researchers want to know if the particular effect is real or if it is a placebo effect. Placebo effect often tends to be some kind of a psychologically induced response which allows cures to happen regardless of administering a particular therapy or medication. For example when medical researchers are testing a particular drug they test its efficacy by administering a sugar pill or the drug without any active ingredient to a set of patients to see if psychologically cure happens regardless of medicine. They always like to separate this "baseline" effect from the real effect of medication or a particular therapy. In case of healing research, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM is so pragmatic that he says, "It really does not matter if the effect is placebo effect or a real effect. Even if we find everything is a placebo effect, it is fine. At the end of the day we are helping people and that's what matters" We have tens of thousands of testimonials of people getting healed from diseases ranging from asthma, pain, cancers, diabetes, infertility, as well as psychological disorders such as depression. However, in order to satisfy the analytical minds, we are hoping we will soon be able to quantify effects of Nithya healing in various ailments.
