2) eGurukul (English) Lesson #35/2026 @ 3-5 pm - Today’s eGurukul lesson was attended by 4 kids & 4 parents.
We began the first segment with Charya Pada – living a conscious lifestyle, where children first offered Sri Guru Puja to our beloved Guru, Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam in gratitude and devotion for happening in their lives and manifesting through us.
In the second segment after Guru puja, Ma Parvathy Swaoopini led them into Nithyananda Yoga practice of Tritiya Vinyasa Krama (TVK) which began with the ritualistic cleansing - tattvacharamaniyam followed by Sankalpa chanting. She prepared their bodies with warm-up and Skeleton dance followed by 8 hip-opening yogasanas – Baddha Konasana, Aakarna Dhanurasana (L/R), Janu Sirsasana (L/R), Hindolasana (L/R), Uttana Pristhasana (L/R), Surya Yantrasana (L/R), Wall Assisted Hips Stretch, Uttana Pristhanana with bent legs (L/R). Next, we continued yogasana from TVK – Vasisthasana, Sivalingasana, Kakarupa Skandhasana 2, Aranya Catakasana (L/R), Phanindrasana and finally relaxing in Shivasana.
Next, we entered into chapter titled *Death is a celebration* (lesson #6) from Living of Enlightenment. This lesson taught the children about Samhara: Rejuvenation. You will be surprised to know that in Sanskrit if you literally translate the word for destruction, samhara, it does not mean destruction, it means rejuvenation. The word that we use commonly for destruction actually means creating space for new things to happen. Even destruction can be looked as from a different dimension of rejuvenating or creating a new space for better things to happen. Even the disease which happens to
your body just creates a new space so that you can get ready to live a new life. You can just restart the whole process. Actually restarting the whole process can heal many of your wounds. Every time when you move from one moment to the next moment you are expanding, you are growing, and you are learning. If you look from this angle even your death is auspicious because you are going to the next step you will feel the fear of death. The future becoming the past is the present. Present moment is the point where the future is slowly becoming past. Present moment is the possibility of rejuvenation. When you are in the present, you will see very clearly that the future coming inside you to become the past leaves so much energy in you. Every moment you are overflowing with energy. If you are caught by future you are in the world of fantasies, building castles in the air. As long as you are caught in the future, you will feel insecure, afraid. If you are caught in the past, you will feel things as inauspicious, that life is dull and dead. If you are established in the present, you will feel whatever is happening is auspicious. Conquering death is a simple technique. Just be in the present, allow time to flow through you. When future comes inside, you don't be greedy and just catch it. Even your death is one more expansion. It is expansion in a dimension that your logic may not be able to relate with. What needs to be taken away from you is taken away, what needs to be added to you is added. Constantly the auspiciousness is expressing itself through you. Saying a complex 'yes' to life even once is called enlightenment. Decide this very moment that you will say a complete yes to life. Then so many insecurities will come upon your mind. When you keep on strengthening the mind that keeps saying 'no' by its very nature, the mind becomes so strong that it starts saying no to anything and everything. By and by, the 'no' goes engraved even in your breathing. Whether you are going to enter life the higher frequency, higher consciousness, or lesser consciousness is going to be decided only
by your 'yes' or 'no'. In the activity of the day, the children dissolved salt, sugar and sand in water. Death is dissolving into the cosmic space.
In the final segment, we started a new power MIND READING Level 6 – reading the past happening of the other person. At first, we reviewed the 3 pramanas of this power, then the children were paired up to scan their partner’s past happening. Then it was time to wrap up the lesson, we ended by chanting the poorna mantra.
