Giving Superconscious Breakthrough to Humanity

Giving Superconscious Breakthrough to Humanity

Being an adept Siddha who has trained in one of the most secret mystical centers amongst the last remaining true Siddhas of the world,  His Divine Holiness has made the various powers of Siddhas into a repeatable and verifiable science. All religions postulate the existence of something beyond the material world. But Hinduism is the only religion that brings the other-world into this one and allows people to experience the divine as an integral part of creation. His Divine Holiness has not only demonstrated of the 460+ Mystical powers described in the texts of Hinduism called the Agamas – such as ability to see things blindfolded, or to see remote locations, to materialize objects, to teleport, read minds, predict the future, read the past etc., but he has also initiated thousands of his disciples to exhibit these powers. The side effect of this large scale initiation is that these powers can no longer be discarded as one-off freak occurrences or in a period of few decades forgotten or branded as tricks.


His Divine Holiness disciples have been subjected to rigorous scientific tests by many prestigious laboratories and universities. Such studies have never been possible ever in the recent past as persons manifesting these powers were rare and many of them lived away from the centers of modern scientific research.  This work of His Divine Holiness to bring closer the world of science with the world of mysticism is one of the greatest contributions he has done to humanity. No longer does faith and science have to be at loggerheads. No longer do different faiths have to fight each other for the lack of a common scale to work with. With his seminal work to bring spirituality and mysticism within the ambit of repeatability and verifiability His Divine Holiness has given a great united platform to build the next level of human consciousness on.


A Scientist and a Researcher – Bridging the Gap between Modern Science and the Ancient Hindu Science

Apart from bridging  the North-South divide in Hinduism and heading the oldest monastic order, the Madurai Adheenam as well as the largest apex body of Hinduism, the Mahanirvani Akhada, His Divine Holiness is the only Hindu leader who is bridging the gap between modern science and the mystical world of Hindu Puranas and knowledge. The Puranas – which are epics, are the recorded history of Hinduism from many many millennia in the past – extol the great powers that humans lived with. However much of these have been lost to the modern times. What knowledge remains of these has become either superstitious beliefs which can sometimes cause more damage than good or means of exploitation of the gullible who are looking for some miracle in their lives. Alternatively many Hindu leaders have discarded a large part of Hinduism as “myth” or as “allegory” and thus have made Hinduism into an insipid and chaotic version of  modern science.

Revival of Siddha Medicine and Spiritual Healing

The revival of Siddha medicine and spiritual healing is the area where His Divine Holiness Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam’s contribution is unparalleled. Even the people of vested interests who try to take away from his accomplishments do not deny his powers as a spiritual healer. The tremendous effects  thoughts, emotions and spiritual cognitions have on the well being of the body is being undeniably accepted even by modern medicine. But the mechanisms of these effects have not been studied clinically and scientifically to a large extent. His Divine Holiness Nithyananda Paramashivam having conducted programs for millions of individuals has done scientific analysis of the effect of meditation, yoga and the spiritual presence of an incarnation on people and how it affects healing and vitality. Studies have shown that just sitting in his presence for 21 days increases the mitochondrial cell energy by more than 13 times which in turn leads to expression of beneficial DNA genes leading to the cure of so called chronic disorders such as Rheumatism, Diabetes, Cancers and so on.

Rediscovering the Ancient Authentic Yoga

Rediscovering the Ancient Authentic Yoga

Yoga is the most widely “practiced religion” in the world – where people chose it rather than do something because they are born into it. It is estimated that there are 300 million regular practitioners of Yoga worldwide and the numbers are growing each year. Originating thousands of years ago from India it has spread farther and deeper than any other philosophy in the world. But the effect of that expansion is that Yoga has been diluted – sometimes beyond recognition. Even in India many practitioners and teachers cannot distinguish what is real authentic Yoga and what are corruptions introduced subsequently for specific purposes. His Divine Holiness Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam has completed the immense task of collecting and compiling the authentic sources of Yoga starting from Paramashiva – the first Yogi who walked this planet.


His Divine Holiness has shown that Yoga is not just for bending the body and achieving flexibility – but is much much more. That is a direct path to the experience of the ultimate. In his system of Yoga he has collected all the Asanas (postures) but added 12 dimensions to each of them including breathing, gestures, visualization, sound (chanting) etc. The effect of this compounded and multiplies the efficacy of each posture bringing tremendous benefits.

Apart from this His Divine Holiness has put together 108 Kriyas – or combinations of postures, movements, breathing – specifically targeted to each major disease or disorder such as diabetes, arthritis, blood pressure, rheumatism etc. The efficacy of these Kriyas has been scientifically validated by doctors and researchers and shown to provide, in some cases, much better relief with no side-effects than the best known modern medical technologies.

While many teachers teach their students to move beyond body postures, the ultimate expression of the Yogic sciences is the achievement of Mystic Powers which indicate the ultimate tuning of the body and mind to the universe. These powers are called Siddhis or Shaktis in the Yogic literature and are extremely rare achievements. History has scattered references to individuals of such Mystic Powers such as levitation, walking on water, mind reading, materialization etc. But What His Divine Holiness has done – for the first time in the history of Hinduism and of Humanity – is to make these into a repeatable and verifiable science. No one else in the world today has come even close to investigating Yoga at this depth.

In 2017 His Divine Holiness was awarded two Guinness World Records® for the largest rope yoga (Kundalini Rajju Yoga℠) & largest pole yoga (Shivasthamba Yoga℠) lessons respectively.

Successor to the Oldest Monastic Order: The Madurai Adheenam

Successor to the Oldest Monastic Order: The Madurai Adheenam

In the year 2012, His Divine Holiness Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam was appointed as the successor to the Madurai Aadheenam in the southernmost and ancient city of Madurai. The Madurai Aadheenam – the oldest monastic order in the world – traces its origins to more than 3000 years ago to Meenakshi, the Enlightened Warrior Queen of Madurai. Revered as an incarnation of mother goddess she created a lineage of Siddhas – or mystics – who explored and mastered various mystical sciences including healing sciences, manipulating matter and physics and the science of enlightenment or living life in fulfilment and excitement.

The Madurai Aadheenam was revived 1500 years ago by another great incarnation called Thirugnanasambandar. Thirugnanasambandar who became a saint at the tender age of 3 through a divine vision of the Bhagawan Shiva and Devi Parvathi revived Hinduism – which had decayed over the millenia into unthinking superstitious and atheistic practices – across the country and re-established the Madurai Aadheenam as the seat of excellence.

The current 292nd pontiff of Madurai Aadheenam, on 27 April, 2012, formally announced His Divine Holiness to be his successor and the 293rd head of the prestigious Madurai Aadheenam. In the coronation function, he declared:

“We hereby declare 293rd Guru Maha sannidhanam Srila Sri Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam Sri Gnanasambhandha Desiga Paramacharya Swamigal as my lawful successor, descendent, Inheritor of Madurai Aadheenam, Thiruganasambhandha Aadheenam, having all the power duties applications ritual and customary rights being performed enjoyed vested in the Madurai Aadheenam. We hereby declare 293rd Guru Maha Sannidhanam Srila Sri Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam Sri Gnanasambhandha Desiga Paramacharya Swamigal would be competent to function as my lawful successor.”


~ 293rd Pontiff of the Madurai Adheenam Arunagiri Gnanasambanda Desika Paramacharya Swamigal


The current Pontiff of the Madurai Adheenam Arunagiri Gnanasambanda Desika Paramacharya Swamigal in his speech after coronation of Swami Nithyananda as his successor extolled his accomplishments for more than an hour. He said:

“The decision of the coronation of the 293rd sannidhanam is also the decision of the lord Shiva. Actually it is not in our hands, it was not, it is not in the hands of the 292nd Guru Mahasannidhanam but it is absolutely left to lord Shiva’s activities, action. God has selected a dynamic person for me. Dynamic, not only dynamic person but also gigantic person. A young person; the greatest propagandist of Hindu religion in this world. Sri Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam Paramacharya Swamigal is one of the grand leaders in Hindu religion. We are very glad and proud that we are finding out a successor who should be appointed after a long time. As far as Madurai Aadheenam is concerned, the 291st Guru Mahasannidanam, 290th Guru Mahasannidanam, 289th Guru Mahasannidanam, all were genius and sages and saints. Therefore we thought, we had a great mind that our successor should be a genius and a sage and saint. So according to the great grace of the almighty lord Shiva and Parvathi Devi, God has given a very powerful, youngest, youth and a vital person for my successor. It is a noble gift of lord Shiva.

Our 293rd Guru Mahasannidanam Srila Sri Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam Paramacharya Swamigal is also a deep, not only deep, deepest disciple of Saint Thirugnanasambandar. Not only that, he may be called as avathara of Thirugnanasambandar.

He is one of the 100 most spiritually influential personalities is what Mind Body Spirit magazine in London has published.

The 293rd Guru Mahasannidanam, we have coronated him as the Peetadhipathi of Madurai Aadheenam, he will be not only the 293rd Guru Mahasannidanam but also he will be treated as Thirugnanasambandar. It is the traditional customary rules and regulations of the Madurai Aadheenam.”


~ Current Pontiff of the Madurai Adheenam Arunagiri Gnanasambanda Desika Paramacharya Swamigal


The Pontiff concluded saying that His Divine Holiness Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam reminded him of the great Saint Thirugnanasambandar and that his advent too was to bring  spiritual legitimacy back to Hinduism and make it relevant to the modern world.

The Pontiff has also on multiple occasions in the ensuing months after the coronation expressed his awe and admiration of the sublime combination of power and responsible compassion of His Divine Holiness Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam.


Declared as the Acharya Mahamandaleshwar of Atal Akhada

In 2013 His Divine Holiness Nithyananda Paramashivam was declared as the Acharya Mahamandaleshwar and successor by the current head of the Atal Akhada Mahant Sri Sukhdevanandji Maharaj. Speaking on the occasion of HDH Nithyananda Paramashivam’s Avatara Dina Brahmotsava (Celebrations) he said:

Atal Akhada Mahant Sri Sukhdevanandji Maharaj speaking on the occasion of HDH Nithyananda Paramashivam’s Avatara Dina Brahmotsava

“The Guru who disperses the darkness leads us towards light. Such Guru is higher than Paramatma because we do not know Paramatma (Supreme) we have not seen Paramatma we have not recognised Paramatma, but guru is in front of us. The Holiest being who is present here has come out of you. Lotus borns out of mud only. But the smell of mud is never there.The lotus has divine beauty and smell. So today I had the direct darshan of Satyam (ultimate Truth), Shivam (auspiciousness) and Sundaram (eternal joy). The other thing is that I am very happy to say this I am the Atal Peethadheeshwar, possibly in the womb of the future it is already stored but I announce that in the near future Swami Nithyananda ji will be felicitated as Acharya Mahamandaleshwar of Atal Peetha.”



~ Atal Akhada Mahant Sri Sukhdevanandji Maharaj


The Atal Akhada is the source of all the 13 Akhadas of which the Mahanirvani Akhada is also one. Acharya Mahamandaleshwar is the person who sets direction for the Akhada. His Divine Holiness Nithyananda Paramashivam being declared as the successor to the Atal Akhada makes him perhaps the only person to head not just one but two of the 13 major Akhadas.

The Kumbh Mela – which happens once every 12 years in each of 4 locations – is a great fair where all the groups of Hinduism come together. Close to hundred million people attended the Kumbh Mela in 2013 in Prayag in the state of Uttar Pradesh. That is 1/10th of the population of India and is larger than the population of most countries in the world. In the Kumbh Mela in 2013, the largest gathering humanity has seen ever in its history, His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda was anointed as the Mahamandaleshwar or spiritual head of the Mahanirvani Akhada – the oldest and most authentic of the 13 Akhadas of Hinduism.

His Divine Holiness  Paramahamsa Nithyananda hails from the South part of India in the spiritual town of Thiruvannamalai which has been the home of unbroken lineages for time immemorial. For a long time in the history of Hinduism there has existed a divide between the Hindus in Northern India and those in the south. This divide had been aggravated by the political parties in the South that used differences in languages to divide the people. His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s coronation was the first time in many years that someone from the South of India had been conferred  this very prestigious honor from the Akhadas that were mainly based in North India. Not only that, His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda was one of the youngest persons to receive the title of Mahamandaleshwar in the history of Hinduism.

Conducting the Kumbh Mela Around the World

As the Mahamandaleshwar of the Mahaniravani Akhada, His Divine Holiness brought the core traditions of Hinduism out to the whole world. The traditional Kumbh Mela was not only celebrated in the traditional grandeur of yore in India but also was taken for the first time outside India in its full glory and tradition to USA, Australia, and other countries. Swami Nithyananda and his organization are the only ones authorized by the Akhil Bharatiya Akhada Parishad to conduct the Kumbh Mela officially all over the world.
