Swami Nityananda is one of the most beloved Saints of India, born in the first half of the 19th century.'
He is closely connected with Sri Neem Karoli Baba, and is one of Ma's teachers.
Nityananda is considered by many to be an avatar. He is known by the world for his great austerity and compassion. He left his body in 1961.
He is known both as the author of the Chidakash Gita and as the carrier of the essence of Lord Dattatreya (the Hindu Trinity of "Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva in One Form) and of the Dancing Lord Ganesha.
The Chidakash is the heart space over the head. Within this sky of consciousness rises the great orb, Surya-- The Sun -- The Absolute Godhead.
This divine space, where one's individual soul merges with its Divine Soul makes its heavenly home in the upper part of the skull. This space is our true home, our birthright.
