Dear All,
Greetings from Thiruvannamalai...the holy land of Arunanchala and Sri Ramana Maharishi.
I am currently staying in Singing Heart Ashram, where we had a 10 day "joytreat" last month.
Ante (a brilliant yoga teacher from Canada) has very kindly put together many new photos from
our time together in Thiru, which you can see by following this link...
You will see not only Singing Heart Ashram, but also Sri Ramana Ashram, the cave where Bhagavan Ramana lived in
for many years and some interesting photos of how we lifted Ante (110kg or so) using just one finger by using the power
of our mind.
Also there are photos of an experiment we did of putting some corn between 4 mobile phones. The theory was that the microwave energy generated
when all the 4 phones ring together will make the corn pop! It didn't work in this case, but those of us who were sensitive to energy
did feel like our brains were ready to pop with all the radiation generated : )
Moving on...I wanted to share a few things about my upcoming plans...
I will be in Chennai (24-26th Sept) and we will be having a couple of evening gatherings (contact Narsi - 94450 25766 ; vnarsi@... )
It is my intention to discuss the ten most significant processes I have learnt in my spiritual journey so far.
Almost all of them are "open source"...which means they can be learnt, applied and shared with others without cost.
Some of these include...
1. Buddha's Teachings - Vipassana; Mahasati; Brahmavihara; Bodhicitta; Tonglen; Phowa; Pure land...
2. Energy Mastery - EFT; TAT; Release; Emotrance...
3. Sungazing - Using the HRM protocol...
4. Health & Healing - various resources & processes...
5. Spiritual Law of Attraction - some wonderful teachings & tools...
6. Some of my own innovations - Four Tune; Dream team; Health Access Tool...
And others... we will discuss when we meet : )
I will be lecturing on these subjects, introducing them to people so that those who are interested to go deeper can research on their own or connect with me.
My intention is that over the next year there will be 6 more 10 day retreats emphasizing meditation and some / all of the above subjects.
Also, I will be in Singapore and Australia this Oct-Dec. If there is interest in what I am sharing then it is possible I might go on to the US and Europe before
returning to India next year. All this is still a little tentative right now as I have yet to finalize my travels. In case any of you are keen to invite me in your part of the world,
let me know, and I will see if I can include it in my itinerary.
So this is what seems to be emerging for the year ahead...sharing the deepest, most beautiful & transformational teachings...in a way that is accessible to people
and doesn't limit them to just one teacher or framework...deeper dives within in regular 10 day retreats...a possible trip round the world to generate interest and resources
for co-creating "happiness universities" (...which will be under an umbrella trust we are calling "Such") ...all of this, maybe none of this....done in an attitude of
service, play and surrender.
Thats all for this update. Look forward to hearing from some of you.
Peace and inner light,
Nithya Shanti

When people see some things as beautiful,
other things become ugly.
When people see some things as good,
other things become bad.
Being and non-being create each other.
Difficult and easy support each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low depend on each other.
Before and after follow each other.
Therefore the Master
acts without doing anything
and teaches without saying anything.
Things arise and she lets them come;
things disappear and she lets them go.
She has but doesn't possess,
acts but doesn't expect.
When her work is done, she forgets it.
That is why it lasts forever.
