This is the first ever temple-monastery established in the name of His Divine Holiness in the worldwide mission. This section covers the deep spiritual significance of this Hindu Heritage spot, its relevance to the life of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda, the socio-spiritual activities that happen here till date and finally, the attacks executed here ruthlessly by the Anti-Hindu nexus. Pavazha Kundru is a hill-top sacred spot on Arunachala, the Mountain-form of the primordial Hindu God MahaSadashiva Himself in Tiruvannamalai, South India, birthplace of His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Pavazha Kundru is the place where the Cosmic Mother realized Herself as a complete synthesis of the male and female energies, as the Hindu God Ardhanareeshwara. The Ardhanareeshwara temple here marks this divine happening. The profound experience of Advaita or ‘Oneness’ From almost age 3, Paramahamsa Nithyananda virtually lived in Pavazha Kundru exploring the ancient yogic sciences of Vedanta and Tantra with his Guru Mata Vibhutananda Puri. In this sacred spot, with the complete understanding of her young disciple’s ‘incarnation hood’, Mata Vibhutananda Puri built for Him, the first ever Aadheenam (temple monastery complex)! In 1989, when Paramahamsa Nithyananda was around 12 years of age, He was sitting on a rock here in Pavazha Kundru, contemplating on a technique of watching the source of His thoughts. It was twilight time of a full moon day during the Tamil month of Vaikasi on the Vedic star Vishaka. As He sat in contemplation, suddenly, something inside Him broke and He had His first powerful deep enlightenment experience through a 360-degree vision with eyes closed. Alongwith this profound experience He felt Himself alive inside everything around Him – the trees, the rocks, the sky, everything. It was a profound experience of Oneness or Advaita. Activities and Worship at The Sadashiva Shila – the sacred rock The rock on which this experience of Advaita or Oneness happened is called The Sadashiva Shila (‘Sadashiva’ means MahaSadashiva, the primordial Hindu Divinity. ‘Shila’ means Rock). It is worshipped as a living deity by disciples of Paramahamsa Nithyananda all over the world. Once the worldwide movement started, His Divine Holiness conducted meditation programs, pujas (ritualistic offerings), and satsangs (spiritual talks to large number of people) at Pavazha Kundru, fulfilling to the core His Guru Mata Vibhutananda Puri’s purpose for the place. Disciples of His Divine Holiness offer sacred bath and puja to The Sadashiva Shila everyday till date. The anniversary of the Oneness experience, every year is celebrated as ‘Nithyananda Purnima’ with large gatherings of people. This experience of having the 360-degree vision and Oneness is what His Divine Holiness transmits to millions of seekers worldwide as the ‘Third Eye Initiation’, through merely touching and awakening The Third Eye energy center located between the two eyebrows. Through this powerful initiation, a plethora of spiritual powers manifest through each individual which includes blindfolded reading, ability to scan others bodies for detecting ailments and diseases, the power to track lost items by scanning through the Third Eye, the ability to download information from books without actually reading them, the ability to move matter with just the power of the Third Eye, and so on. 1982 (approximately). His Divine Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda cognized Himself as a Sanyasi (Monk as per Sanatana Hindu Dharma or Hinduism) from the very beginning. This picture is taken at approximately age 4, when He started wandering in Tiruvannamalai, His birthplace, and virtually lived in Pavazha Kundru – a historic spot atop the sacred Arunachala Hill where Devi (Cosmic Mother) realised herself as Ardhanareeshwara – the Hindu God who is the perfect synthesis of the male and female energies. Here, He is seen near Draupadi Amman temple, near His yoga Guru – Ragupathi Yogi’s house in Tiruvannamalai, South India.
