Manifest your destiny with kalpataru
Existence showers. If you choose to enjoy it, you will. Because of lack of awareness in you, you simply make unconscious decisions and land up complaining about Life. Paramahamsa Nithyananda has created a transformative meditation program called Kalpataru which bestows upon each individual the energy to imbibe the right intention, and align every action with the intention.
May all your dreams come true
Many people dream of a life they wish they were living. A full life with friends, family, health, wealth, free time, vacations, a nice house in a beautiful location filled with comfortable furnishings, a reliable, safe, stylish car and many other things. All this will make a person happy, at least that is what many people believe.
How does one get these dreams to come true? Will achieving these dreams and desires lead one to experience fulfillment, a fulfilled life? One can learn and experience the principles of attracting not just the desired life, but the truth of one’s life, the highest potential, based on the ancient science of Vedic teachings combined with new scientific understandings. An ancient understanding of attracting the desired life is Kalpataru or wish fulfilling tree. The word Kalpataru is from the sanskrit language with kalpa meaning wishing and taru meaning tree. The Kalpataru Tree is known throughout India as the wishing tree, the tree with the ability to fulfill people’s wishes and desires, to strengthen one’s true desires and make it into reality. How does this work?
Align your actions with your true intentions
Quantum physics’ theory of a participatory universe and the ancient Vedic sciences teach that each person is the creator of his/her own life. Each person is the author or script writer of the events in their life and teach that a person has a choice about whether to judge the event as pleasure or pain, happiness or unhappiness, joy or sorrow. Perspectives of consciousness, science and spiritual principles leading to the creation of one’s life are presented from five of the 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People as listed by Watkins Body Mind Spirit Magazine Issue 29:
Paramahamasa Nithyananda says: Existence showers. If you choose to enjoy it, you will. It is purely your choice. You choose wrongly and then complain or blame someone else. Remember, no one is responsible for anything that happens to you. Everything is a conscious choice that you make unconsciously. Because of lack of awareness in you, you simply make unconscious decisions and land up complaining about Life.
Gregg Braden: Our destiny is in our hands, minds, consciousness, and that the Divine Matrix is affected by every thought and feeling we have. The quantum physics principle of a participatory universe states that there are infinite possibilities for our lives in any moment, until we choose.
Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: You don’t need to own anything to feel abundant, although if you feel abundant consistently things will almost certainly come to you. Abundance comes only to those who already have it. It sounds almost unfair, but of course it isn’t. It is a universal law. Both abundance and scarcity are inner states that manifest as your reality.
Bruce Lipton, in an conversation for “What if it really works?”: When I tell people you create your life, this life, they say NO! I wouldn’t create a world of war and hunger and violence. I tell them, you let go of creative control, you bought into other people’s beliefs. It’s time to Wake Up that we have bought other people’s truths and other people’s beliefs and manifested their world, rather than coming with our own beliefs. When we give up our power in order to buy other people’s knowledge, then we bought their reality and we manifest their reality! You are spirit – consciousness. You have a body. You came to this planet to manifest creativity and experience the planet through the senses of the body. We are here to manifest Love on this planet. And when we come together and love manifests on this planet we are already engaged in the next higher level of human evolution.
Deepak Chopra, The Way of the Wizard: Ultimately it is your understanding that is going to change your reality. What is a thought experiment? It’s a way of leading the mind into new places, making it see things differently. The wizard knew something deep and important – if you want to change the world, change your attitude toward it. (Chopra explains that in India, wizards are known as gurus)
Awareness of the fact that each person is a creative being that affects his/her own individual world and experience of the world as well as contributing to the planetary reality and experience of the world is the first step to manifesting the life one desires. Then bringing that awareness to thoughts, choices, actions, beliefs and responses to the environment allows conscious right wishes and desires to be created. When a person aligns his/her actions with his/her truest intentions, these right wishes and miracles start to become everyday reality.
Kalpataru – The wishing tree of India
The mythological, divine, wish fulfilling tree called Kalpataru has a long history in India. References to the Kalpataru go back to the ancient myths of India and can be seen in this carving.
The origin of the Kalpataru Tree comes from a Hindu tale called Samudra manthan or Churning of the Ocean of Milk. This story is one the most famous episodes in the Puranas (sanskrit referring to religious texts). The story appears in the Bhagavata Purana, the Mahabharata and the Vishnu Purana. It is a captivating tale with many layers of meanings. Indian mythology says that the actual kalpataru tree was created by the churning of the ocean of milk.
In one version of the story, the Devas and Asuras, a group of power seeking deities, had only one desire – Immortality. Vishnu, the Hindu god known as the Supreme Being preserver of the universe, told the Devas and Asuras that the only guarantee for immortality was to churn the Cosmic Ocean or Milky Ocean. The Devas and Asuras formed two teams with one team on each side of a long rope wrapped around a pole. As one team would pull, it would cause the pole to turn one way, when the other team would pull it would cause the pole to turn the other way, thus resulting in a churning effect. To do the churning, they used the Serpent King, Vasuki as the rope wrapped around the churning pole called Mount Mandara. The whole set-up was placed on the back of a Great Tortoise called the Kurma Avatar of Vishnu. In this way, they churned the Milky Ocean.
As the Devas and Asuras (demons) churned the sea, a terrible poison flowed out from the depths of the ocean which engulfed the whole universe. Shiva, the Hindu god known as the creator and destroyer, was approached by the Devas and Asuras to help them. Shiva took the poison into his throat and swallowed it, turning his throat blue. It was then that immortality emerged from the ocean along with many other treasures which included the kalpataru tree. The kalpataru tree was taken by Indra, the leader of the Devas, to his paradise.
Science of Kalpataru – fulfilling wishes – creating reality
The words, thoughts and sounds people make are powerful. The work of Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese scientist, shows through experiments, the effect of sound and thought on water. Water samples were exposed to varying types of music, talking, scriptural reading, etc. When positive thoughts and healing music was used the water formed beautiful crystals. When the water was subjected to negative feelings, thoughts, music and words, the water formed irregular dark structures. His work is published in his book, The Hidden Messages from Water. The human body and the Earth are more than 70% water – imagine the effect of the individual thought patterns and words as well as the collective thought patterns on our Earth and physical body!
As demonstrated by Dr. Emoto, the ordinary person has the capability to influence water by his/her thoughts and words. The enlightened Masters are pure consciousness with no conflicting, confusing, subconscious contradictions like the ordinary person’s inner space. The enlightened Master can infuse his inner pure consciousness into his disciples with a look or a touch – imagine the power of creative energy infused into one’s intentions with the Master’s initiation.
The quantum physics theory of entanglement provides the framework for explaining how an enlightened Master can transfer his inner space and energy to a person at the level of consciousness. Consciousness catching consciousness without any interference from time or space constraints. Entanglement theory is based on observations of entangled photons behavior. When entangled photons are split apart, no matter the distance separating them, they instantaneously know the state of the other photon. Communication happens faster than the speed of light! Which according to the current science is impossible. Many believe the medium of communication between photons is consciousness – the foundation of the unified field connecting all things unbound by time and space. This theory creates the scientific foundation to explain how an enlightened Master can transfer energy and consciousness to all parts of the world “through the internet or webinar event”; more specifically, through the unified field of consciousness – into the consciousness of a devotee.
The consciousness creating the unified field is also present within each individual. Wallace Wattles says: “There is an ocean of pure vibrant consciousness inside each one of us. And it is base and source of mind, thought and matter.” If a person has conscious awareness the size of a golf ball, the conscious creativity will be limited to the small consciousness. A person can increase the size of consciousness with awareness and understanding. Gregg Braden continues discussing the spiritual quantum science by stating humans are creating reality with consciousness. The act of looking at the world and imagining it creates reality and expands it. “We are conscious conductors. That’s what we do. That’s who we are. We create. We transmit reality.”
Many names have been given to the unified field: the Matrix (Planck), Nature’s Mind (Dr Edgar Mitchell), The Mind of God (Steven Hawking), The Field (Lynn McTaggert) and The Divine Matrix (Gregg Braden). The unified field is the intelligent field of energy all pervasive in the Universe. Braden explains “the divine matrix is a bridge between our inner experiences, feelings, emotion, and belief and our outer world.” The matrix is unbiased and mirrors back the created thoughts. The thoughts imagine, the emotions add power to the thoughts and the heart breathes life into the creative process. The unconscious beliefs and patterns may disrupt the conscious creative work. Awareness of the unconscious patterns is essential. To create what we want we must feel our feelings as if our prayers have already been answered. Feel the gratitude and appreciation. To ask for healing only confirms/affirms the illness or distress.
In The Biology of Belief, Bruce Lipton, Ph D. confirms with cellular biology experiments the need for creating clear thought patterns. In his work, he provided nutrients to endothelial cells. The cells migrated toward the nutrients. When he created a toxic environment, the cells moved away from the toxic stimulus. When both nutrients and toxic stimulus were provided simultaneously, the cell could not react to both stimuli – could not gravitate to the life sustaining signal and move away in protection from a toxic signal. The cell had to chose one action or the other. This concept is discussed in terms of the conscious and subconscious minds also. The conscious mind can think forward and backward, it is the voice of the self, full of ideas and visions of love, health and happiness. The subconscious mind is always in the present and will always run the life the way it was programmed by past experiences and lessons learned from the parents from conception until age 6. The subconscious beliefs and patterns can shape a person’s life and alter the success a person imagines. The beliefs can influence behavior and health. The good news is when a person pays attention, the conscious wishes and desires can overwrite the subconscious programming. A person can create a life to be healthy, happy and so creative that each day will be greeted with excitement and enthusiasm.
Understand the qualities of the unified field as described by a group of physicists: total potential of natural law, infinite organizing power, fully awake within itself, infinite correlation, perfect orderliness, infinite dynamism, infinite creativity, pure knowledge, unboundedness, perfect balance, self-sufficiency, all possibilities, infinite silence, harmonizing, evolutionary, self-referral, invincibility, immortality, unmanifest, nourishing, integrating, simplicity, purifying, freedom, and bliss. In Vedic literature, the unified field is referred to as Brahman. The Sanskrit phrase: Brahmavit brahmaiv bhavate means to the extent one knows Brahman, one becomes Brahman. By placing attention on each of the qualities one can experientially know and understand the qualities of the unified field, and have their values express in one’s daily life. The universe is a big dream machine according to Deepak Chopra in his book Creating Affluence.
Vedic science of Kalpataru
The spiritual science of Kalpataru is revealed by Patanjali, the founder of the yoga system. Patanjali was the first master who created a clear, scientific, logical system to reproduce the experience of the inner world or enlightenment. Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras describes eight paths or limbs as the non-linear mapping of consciousness to enlightened living. Dharana is one of the yogic paths. The simple definition of dharana is concentration of the mind, single focus, deep concentrative meditation.
Paramahamsa Nithyananda describes the concept :
The science and ability to project anything you want and enjoy is Dharana. When you raise your awareness, the causal body comes under your control and anything you take from your causal body becomes reality. (The causal body is experienced in deep sleep, in deep darkness. It is the place rejuvenation occurs. Darkness is energy.)
When you fall unconscious, what your mind expresses is a dream. It has no impact.
When you are aware, what your mind expresses is creativity. It creates your life.
When you are in a higher state of consciousness, it not only creates the life of whatever you want, but also on whomever you want.
“Whatever your mind expresses is Dharana. You become a Kalpataru, a wish fulfilling tree. The super conscious state has a highly raised mitochondria level. Mitochondria are like cellular power plants that are within each of us.
It is important to know how wishes become reality. If a slide is kept in front of a projector light, what is seen in the slide screen will seem as reality. If the image on a slide is of a temple, one will see the temple. If the slide has the image of an actor, one will see that actor. If a slide shows an ocean, one will see that ocean. Whatever is in front of the projector light, one will see that as reality. In the same way whatever thought
is kept in front of a concentrated energy, one will see that thought will become reality. For example, if a person is continuously repeating a particular thought, again and again, the person will see the body and mind, and everything will be directed towards that thought.
Raghupati Yogi mastered the whole science of yoga as discovered by Patanjali. From the age of three to thirteen, Nithyananda studied daily with Raghupati. Raghupati said a beautiful thing: “For whatever purpose you bend your body or move your body, that memory and idea will become completely inserted or completely recorded in your body and mind. That intention, that purpose will start expressing in your body.” This powerful idea can be activated to create a new reality even as one is doing yoga or walking or doing any exercise, dance or movement.
“The source of all abundance is not outside you. It is part of who you are. However, start by acknowledging and recognizing abundance without. See the fullness of life all around you. The warmth of the sun on your skin, the display of magnificent flowers outside a florist’s shop, biting into a succulent fruit, or getting soaked in an abundance of water falling from the sky. The acknowledgment of that abundance that is all around you awakens the dormant abundance within. Then let it flow out. Ask yourself often: “What can I give here; how can I be of service to this person, this situation?” You cannot receive what you don’t give. Outflow determines inflow. Abundance comes only to those who already have it.” A New Earth, Eckhart Tolle.
A cautionary tale kalpataru tree is told on “Om Kalpataru” a website about Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa Deva which demonstrates the influence of thoughts and wishes:
Once a man was travelling and accidentally he entered paradise. In the Indian concept of paradise there are wish-fulfilling trees there called kalpatarus. Just sit underneath the tree and desire anything and immediately it is fulfilled—there is no gap between the desire and its fulfillment. There is no gap between a thought and a thing. You think, and immediately the thought becomes a thing; the thought realizes automatically. The kalpatarus trees are symbolic for the mind. Mind is creative, creative with its thoughts.
The man was tired, so he fell asleep under a kalpataru, a wish-fulfilling tree. When he woke up he was feeling very hungry, so he simply said, “I am feeling so hungry, I wish I could get some food from somewhere.” And immediately food appeared out of nowhere—just floating in the air, delicious food.
He was so hungry that he didn’t pay much attention. When you are hungry you are not philosophic. He immediately started eating, and the food was so delicious that he was caught up in the food. Once his hunger was gone he looked around. Now that he was feeling very satisfied, another thought arose in him: “If only I could get something to drink…”—And, immediately, precious wine appeared.
Drinking the wine relaxedly in the cool breeze of paradise under the shade of the tree he started wondering, “What is the matter? What is happening? Have I fallen into a dream, or are some ghosts around and playing tricks with me?” And ghosts appeared. And they were ferocious, horrible, nauseating. And he started trembling, and a thought arose in him: “Now I am sure to be killed. These people are going to kill me.” And he was killed.
The parable is an ancient parable – many different versions of the story are told. It portrays a person’s whole life. The mind is the wish-fulfilling tree, kalpataru—whatever one thinks, sooner or later it is fulfilled. Sometimes the gap is such that a person may have completely forgotten that one had desired it in the first place; sometimes the gap is of years, or sometimes of several lives.
If you watch deeply, you will find all your thoughts are creating you and your life. Your thoughts create your heaven, your thoughts create your hell. As demonstrated in the story, one must bring clarity to one’s desires.
Again and again, the ancient rishis and modern quantum thinkers state that thoughts create a person’s life. Each person has created his/her life and will continue to create based on their thought flow. A fleeting wish or thought is not enough to create a reality. Even an intention formed at the mental level is not enough. An intention needs intensity in order to attract the desire. Intensity is intention infused into the physical body. When the physical body radiates with the intention and intensity, the body moves into the right action with the right knowledge. Additionally, it is important to be honest and integrated with the desire, with no conflicting thoughts and inner chatter. When all these features come together one can attract and create the desired outcome. Each person becomes his/her own wishing tree.
Paramahamsa Nithyananda, Kalpataru and wishes fulfilled
Most people do not experience themselves as a wishing tree. Creating one’s destiny seems more like creating the same old life over and over again. To address this common complaint, Paramahamsa Nithyananda created a transformative meditation program called Kalpataru – Manifest Your Destiny.
Kalpataru uses technical knowledge, experiential exercises and meditation techniques. In the program one discovers the formula to align true intentions with actions so a natural move to outer success and inner bliss can be achieved. The Kalpataru program has the added dimension of deeksha, initiation by an enlightened Master, Paramahamsa Nithyananda. People who are in the physical presence of Paramahamsa Nithyananda will receive a direct physical touch. Those who are connected via the internet will receive initiation with a look and a verbal blessing.
An enlightened Master is pure divine consciousness, pure Cosmic energy – the energy that runs the whole Universe including our lives. When a person asks the right thing, with the right understanding, backed up with intention and intensity, the Master’s initiation energizes the request and the desire becomes reality. In addition, the Master’s inner space is transferred into your inner space – pure bliss consciousness – creating a beautiful inner space within you to enjoy life as it is. Plan for a miracle.
Dr. Praadeep Raut, a pediatric specialist for sick and small babies in Singapore, gives this testimonial of a boon granted during a Kalpataru program with Paramahamsa Nithyananda.
He says, My true desire got manifested. He had a deep desire to have one more child, especially a daughter. He and his wife had one boy Krishna who is almost 8 years old. Due to the relationship at home, Dr. Raut felt he could not voice this desire to his wife. During a Kalpataru, Dr Raut and his wife were in front of Swamiji. Swamiji said: Ma, please have another child. This deep desire was fullfilled for Dr. Raut without even having to voice his desire as it was so strong and intense his prayer to Swamiji. Swamiji said the words that spoke to the wife in the way for her to respond. The baby daughter was born in the spring of 2012.
Here is the story of Kalpataru as told by Maria Perez-Goodman, a concert pianist living in LA, CA, USA.
On August 2010, I attended the Kalpataru program at the Montclair Vedic Temple in Los Angeles. I was new to the teachings of Swamiji and I was excited to have a one-on-one audience with an enlightened Master. The meditations in preparation for Swamiji’s darshan were powerful and I could feel my sincere intentions already taking place within me. I was first to receive Swamiji’s blessing and as I waited for the event to start, he said “Come on Maria, what do you want?” He knew my name!!! That jolted me in such a way that I forgot how to speak English. I could only talk in Spanish and I couldn’t seem to get out of it! He just laughed and laughed. As English eventually came back, I asked the one thing that truly felt important to me: to experience unconditional love. He said, “You’ll have it! And Maria, I see you in India in December for the Inner Awakening program.” I was so shocked! You see, I was ready to leave for a meditation trip to Egypt. All my money and vacation time had been poured into that. India seemed like a far-off dream, definitely an impossibility. Well, by the end of the month something quite unexpected happened. In Egypt, during a meditation, I surrendered that part of the ego that says “I don’t need others”. I allowed life to happen in me from whichever direction it came. Little by little pure joy started flowering within me (I was so serious before). Little things like breathing, eating, and just existing, suddenly felt like an overflowing ecstasy of energy, an eternal source of joy. Love was awakened within me, not through relationships (as I thought it would), but by living life as it happens each and every moment. Thank you Swamiji! As to IA, family and friends were surprisingly supportive of it. All the necessary funds and airfare were gathered in a miraculous way. But that is a story for another day…Sarvasudah, (Spiritual name)
The Kalpataru program designed by Nithyananda has another dimension beyond the granting of specific desires. The knowledge, experiential exercises and meditations take one on a journey to discover how one views the world. Each person creates a view of the world based on experiences of the life from the moment of birth forward. The view of the world creates patterns for responding to life events with predictable thoughts and actions. As described in the program, it is as if each person wears a pair of colored glasses through which the world is seen. A person forgets the glasses are on and thinks he/she is seeing reality as it is, yet they are only seeing the view through the glasses. Thought patterns are created consciously and unconsciously and the patterns keep running through the inner space and attracting the same type of events to occur over and over in the life. The deep thought patterns are more powerful and are often contradictory to the desires a person is currently wishing for. Life seems dull and repetitious, lacking in joy and adventure.
During the one day program a person can discover patterns of seeing the world, interacting with the world, and assumptions about the world. As awareness grows about the patterns, exercises are done allowing a person to shift the frame of reference or change the colored glasses allowing the world to be seen as it is and/or to find a more positive frame of reference to operate from. The past wisdom can be used as a guide instead of as a pair of glasses distorting the present situation. The future becomes unwritten! A person is free to act in new, more satisfying ways with life situations as they arise.
In addition to the knowledge, Nithyananda’s darshan or initiation can create intense spiritual experiences for people. The energy wave that rises also causes many unconscious fears, guilt and desires to surface. Darshan/initiation is a rare opportunity to liberate from deeply engraved memories – wiping out these emotions at the root level by the overflowing energy.
Savanda, from Atlanta, GA, USA explains that she had always been able to speak in large groups of people.
Some past experiences caused fears to come into her life. She got an overwhelming fear of speaking and a heat sensation went throughout her body. If someone would ask a question in a large crowd, she would want to raise her hand to answer yet “the overwhelming sensation of fear would paralyze me.” She has been healed of the fear and heat sensations by the Kalpataru program. She has changed her frame of reference – she can step to the other side away from fear. “I love everything we are doing!
Kalpataru bestows upon each individual the energy to imbibe the right intention, and align every action with the intention. Nithyananda says: “ I ask you to verbalize your desires to me. As you verbalize, you yourself will know which desires really need to be fulfilled and which need not be fulfilled. Such is the intelligence of expressed energy.” The Kalpataru program and initiation sows within each person the seeds of:
- Shakti – Energy needed to change the things needed to be changed. Just change what you can. Even simple things.
- Buddhi – Intelligence to know what need not be changed and accept the things that cannot change. The action to change will allow the intelligence to flower and the ability to accept will expand.
- Yukti – Understanding that whatever is changed, Existence itself is a continuously changing dream. The seed of clarity to see that the world itself is changing reality – causeless auspiciousness.
- Mutki – Liberation that happens when a person experiences the above principles and lives blissfully!
When a person understand these important truths, a revolutionary transformation and cognitive shift will happen within. The truths shifts a person from unconscious to conscious to superconsciousness so the difference is that whatever one expresses is created in the life and one creates the life of whatever one wants. When this science of darshana is understood then each person becomes kalpataru. The truth becomes an explosion within every part of one’s system.
The experiential understandings and transformations from Kalpataru clear a space in the future, uncluttered by past assumptions and ways of being and doing, remove inner chatter and conflicting thoughts that undermine intention and intensity from expressing, and change responses to life – realizing that 99% of our “problems” are due to our responses and not the situation itself. With knowledge and awareness, right intentions will become intensity in the physical body muscle memory. Action will be consistent with the desires. The consciousness and physical body will radiate to the Universe a united desire that will be manifested.
“ Kalpataru makes you live a liberated life, what I call ‘Living Enlightenment’” Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Existence is trying to express itself through you. When you freely allow this, you will start realizing your infinite potential. Living Enlightenment is living with the flowing energy of Existences, in synchronicity with its miraculous happenings.
Kalpataru – Manifest Your Destiny!
