If you ask somebody, if that person is negative, he or she would say I am not negative, but everybody is negative. I have to deal with my own negativity. I will tell you what I mean by that and what happened.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">3:30 am in the morning, I got into a different altered state of consciousness, and I maintained it for six hours. That was total bliss. I was in a different altogether experience of the body, of the mind, and a reality that was very pleasant, full of joy and intelligence.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><b>To put it simply, negativity is the mind<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">The mind is basically negative. You have 35 or 40 thoughts a minute. How many thoughts are positive or productive thoughts? You can say whether you are negative or not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">Why is it that? Because the nature of the mind is to be negative. This is also the teaching of Zen Buddhism that the mind is basically negative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">In Buddhism, what is positivity then? It is just the absence of everything. Get into the state of absence, and that is your true reality. You are not the body, you are not the mind, and you are in a different state of consciousness.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><b>Who is going to give it to you? Muruga will give it to you<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">Muruga is not only a God. He is also like other Gods who lived on the Earth plane in different yugas. A Yuga is an epoch of time, hundreds of thousands of years. Though the Earth plane goes through different stages in its consciousness. You become the consciousness of the Earth plane when you are living in a particular yuga.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">There is a Satya Yuga which is the age of the Golden Age which will be available to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">limited people, and will not be available for most people who are around for another 200, 300, 400, or even 1000 years. But at least the good thing to know is it is going to definitely become available for those who can understand what the absence of mind and body is because they seem to be very much present.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">That is all we know. We do not know what the absence is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The absence is being absent, or Nirvana, in Buddhist terminology, or sunya in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hinduism.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><b>You have to be without the body, without the mind<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">That is possible during this time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">There are multiple methods through which you can attain that. One method that I experimented with was for a few years during these six days of Muruga. When I brought a few of my 50 years of my followers to India and demonstrated what it means to experience in a graphic sense of getting rid of negativity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">Negativity is a demon. It is the devil. For instance, Mary Magdalene had seven devils, and Jesus drove the devils out. A disease is a devil. Negativity is a devil.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><b>The whole idea of Muruga is that you become a Muruga<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">Muruga means the God of the highest intelligence with no pain, sorrow, or hardship, because you are that; you are God. But that is not available to us because of the negative mind and negativity of the Earth plane itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">The Earth plane is also as miserable as we are. Then they all will join together. But the Earth plane will take quite a bit of time to evolve and get to the Golden Age.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">But at least we have now the opportunity, a select 0.0001 people or maybe even more, 0.0000001 people, are able to go to an experience the God that they are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">I am very dedicated to that process from today onwards. I am going to do this during these six hours of my Yoga Samadhi. You can see how easy it is to heal the body and mind. It took me 20 years to develop that yoga Samadhi. You do not have to do that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">The audio may be available too, but I am going to teach it in a different way or maybe add more elements, basically as a reminder of what I did about 25 years ago.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><b>Watch Replay of Dr. Pillai\u2019s Free Live Teaching\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click the video below to watch the replay of Dr. Pillai\u2019s recent live event to learn <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how you can receive maximum benefits from this once-a-year celestial powertime called Skanda Shasti.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WmPCz6ZQcsU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><b>Free 6-Day Muruga Immersion Series | Community Meditation and Mantra-Chanting<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">Engage in the remainder of a variety of immersive meditations and mantras from Dr. Pillai, as well as interactive tips to try at home to help you best experience the karma-clearing rewards of Skanda Shasti.
