[Sri Narendra Giriji Maharaj is the Head-Akhil Bharatiya Akhada Parishad, a conglomeration of thirteen Akhadas, with one million sadhus (renunciates) under its wings. He is considered the most powerful voice in the world of Hinduism and the influence he wields is equivalent to that of the Pope and the Vatican!
In a rare interview with the Mahants of the Nithyananda Sanyas Order, during the Nashik Kumbh Mela in September 2015, he opened up about what Living Enlightened Master Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s advent in our midst meant for Hinduism and the Hindu world today. Here are excerpts from the interview.]
“One week ago, India news, IBN7 and many other news channels came and they asked me about Paramahamsa Nithyananda. I said, Swamiji is the backbone of Sanatana Hindu Dharma. Right now Swamiji was saying, ‘Whatever I do, I do in alignment to Vedic Sanatana tradition, and I don’t do anything opposite to that.” Swamiji said that I am the head of thirteen Akhadas. That one million sadhus do what I tell them to do. I feel, what Swamiji is saying is right, but actually, I am Swamiji’s servant.
About the Ashram, Deities and Paramahamsa Nithyananda
As I entered the ashram, I saw a beautiful Shivling, very beautiful Shivling, magnificent Shivling. When I came up I saw such bright deities of Ganeshji, Shankar Bhagwan and Parvati Devi. Your disciples told me that all the deities have been made in Swamiji’s (Paramahamsa Nithyananda) ashram itself. See, every sannyasi has to be tested once. I have no doubt in saying that Swamiji has overcome, come forward and completed the test successfully, and not just in the whole of India, but all over the world.
Awakened Gurukul Kids
A while ago, I was in a discussion with Swamiji. Two kids were brought there. Their eyes were blindfolded. Whatever was written on my visiting card, on my mobile, these kids read that exactly and perfectly. I was very surprised. But Swamiji explained that when the battle of Mahabharata took place, Sanjay was sitting and witnessing the battle. The battle was happening somewhere and Sanjay was witnessing it from somewhere else. He could see it even from that distance. That was how it was in our Vedic tradition of those times. And Swamiji said that we could enter the space and the third eye of the kids. The third eye is like the one Mahadeva has. Some people think it is fraudulent, that nothing like this exists.
But when the power of tapas (spiritual penance) is present, then people can do anything. So, the power of tapas in Swamiji (Paramahamsa Nithyananda) is so much that he is able to teach us the science of third eye powers. I requested Him, I will also send eleven students to get initiated by him. He said, “Please do send them. I will teach them.” So I welcome Swamiji and express my gratitude and praise him.
About Swamiji’s Visit to Allahabad Ashram
Swamiji came and visited my ashram (in Allahabad, Hanuman Temple) along with the previous honoured President of Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Sri Ashok Singhal. Three four days later, respected Ashok Singhalji came to me. He told me everything about Swamiji. I used to listen and came to know about Swamiji through media and television, but when Singhalji told me everything, he told me what was Swamiji’s nature. He told me that Swamiji was working for Hindus, spreading Hinduism throughout the world.
After that, as you people say, with all respects I started looking at him and took him as my ideal. The way such a person is projected (in media) is wrong. Even today I can say, whenever I visit his ashram I feel something very extraordinary. I feel there is surely some divine energy there.
Paramahamsa Nithyananda – Importance in the World of Hinduism Today
All of you are extremely fortunate who are connected with Swamiji. Everyone of you should see yourself as very fortunate. Today, I feel, even I have become fortunate to be connected to Swamiji. I will again say one last thing. Whoever gets connected to Swamiji will automatically become fortunate. Whoever connects and whoever is connected, they all are fortunate. In the presence of such a great tapasvi saint, I feel, with the power of tapas, power of meditation, a human being can become a form of God. Today in front of you, after witnessing the power of tapas, the power of Swamiji, I feel, in reality I am present in the ashram of a Divine being.”
