I'm really fortunate to have such wonderful friends like you! So many of you took the time and effort to respond to my 80/20 awareness exercise. I'm really touched.
Now I'm not sure everyone will be interested in reading this, but since some of you have requested me to compile the responses (and also b'cos I love to convince people how wonderful I am!), here goes: Following are the loving (and sometimes funny) responses I received for the questions I posted here recently...
HELPING PEOPLE ACTUALIZE THEIR HIDDEN POTENTIAL/DREAMS/HELPING IN THEIR SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT. USING INNOVATIVE METHODS FOR THIS PURPOSE
Xcite:Smart techniques for a better life. Passion:spreading happiness all around.
knowledge... gathering... simplifying... sharing
I think Nithya gets excited when he finds something that can change the lives of people around him. It may be a new meditation practice, or a new perspective or a new insight…and things like that…
I think he is most passionate about SHARING his knowledge/experience
Sharing easy ways/Techniques for being happy. And a lot for BEING GENEROUS.
Famous:For his smile,speed n simple secrets for hadayoli.
teaching joy...
Enlightened being, healer, world peace Nobel Prize winner, and I also think you will be a successful entrepreneur should you choose to follow that path …
First of all, I think he has already achieved a certain level of fame and I hope that he recognizes that.
I think he'll be most celebrated for inspiring/empowering others to be peaceful and joyful--primarily because people really enjoy that. I think he'll make other contributions, but this will be the most recognized--and what a beautiful thing for which to be celebrated! I envision a statue in the future showing a peacefully laughing Nithya Shanti--hopefully without a potbelly :D
COOL KALYAN MITRA
All of the above........most of all Integirty.
Self content at such a young age where many ppl are craving 4 sm or
the other things.
Boundless Compassion along with Humour and Playfullness
He is a person with a higher conscious, somebody more than his body and mind.
I'd say his adamant adherence to being loving and his positivity are the most distinctive things about him.
Also, he has this odd, almost nonabrasive arrogance that propels him forward without repelling others.
I don't know anyone else who has willingly brought major, potentially ostracizing changes into their life and maneuvered through them with ease (from what I can gage). I don't know anyone else who lives with that sort of "active authenticity". Bravo!
WOULD LIKE TO QUOTE RAMAN MAHARSHI: SELF REALIZATION IS THE BEST SOCIAL SERVICE.
Healing
Anything that catalyses people to move towards their highest selves........the Hadayoli workshops and similar work.
4.Spreading n updating the knowledge n live happily with your better
half ,ur team mate,soul mate so that physical,mental,social n
spiritual all the 4 needs are satisfied.Or i can say
self,family,society n carrier all the 4 basic pillars of life will be
in balance.
making the world a happier place...
He would be most happy helping people live better lives in all perspectives; financially, socially, emotionally and spiritually
Besides being loving 24/7? No idea...but it'll be more than one thing.
I guess we'll all find out soon!
UNSELFISH and GENEROUS
COOL SPIRITUALITY...LIGHTHEARTED ENLIGHTENMENT
5.To get things done from others without making them feel they have been used.
giving away everything he has...
Nithya has the gift of speaking and holding people's attention in doing so.
Teaching/Sharing Being happy techniqes
COUNSELLING, TRAINING, COACHING (IF YOU REMEMBER, I'D MENTIONED THIS EVEN BEFORE YOU BECAME A MONK)
Healer
A transformational leader/teacher.........
6.Actually you can do wonders in any field you enter.Training can be a
gd occupation.
happy teacher...
I think he can be successful at anything that he wants to pursue. I see him as a motivational speaker somebody like Jerry and Esther Hicks, Wayne Dyer and so on
I think Nithya is best suited to an occupation/role that involves verbal expression. I think more than one occupation is optimal or, at the very least, a role that has the potential to evolve and expand. Change and variety are good (and, from what I can gage, he handles them well).Also, I think he's more of a leader than a follower, so some sort of leadership role is better.
CREATIVITY: VISUAL AS WELL AS VERBAL
7.Singing,you can really use your voice professionally.
u r a gd instructor too.ref.physical fitness.
n if you try for dance...you will be just amazing versatile trainer nithya...
you can include your musical talents in your joyshops too.
Song writing / PR / writing a funny book on 'creative ways to insult people'....being a writer
Actually, I'm not sure what his current activity is--Hadayoli-ist? I'll start from there...
Happiness University!!
HAPPINESS UNIVERSITY
A center for `Higher' Studies :)
Publishing
8."Nithya shanti dhaam" where there will be everything under one roof
which i have mentioned above...Well yeh rahe aapke sabhi sawalonke jawab.
A 'happyTV' Channel is a distinct possibility...
I think it will be great if Nithya were to start a school/ education institution for children. I think it will be immensely useful to our society if we could train our future generations' right from Kindergarten to think and act positively, individualistically and creatively rather than fall into the mind set of the society. I see little Buddhas radiating joy and peace around them. What a wonderful blessing that would be….
Perhaps
he should do joyshops or meditation workshops for younger people
...primary college and college goers too ? I think the benefits are
enormous if one starts younger. Catch 'em early :-)
I will reply personally to each one of you who responded over the next few days...even those who wrote in just to say they don't know me well enough to respond!
There is a peaceful sky behind every passing cloud...and I can see you flying there!

Most think in terms of thought affecting the world: You think about
transmitting outward: "I'm going to affect the world from my outgoing
signal." That isn't the way it works. You affect the world by achieving the
vibration that brings the signals to you. You create a nucleus that
Universe has to respond around. That is how you are the creator.
