ISHANYA - Helping 10 million out of poverty in 4 months

    LOS ANGELES, CA, July 21, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ -- After a warm welcome to all devotees, disciples, KAILASA's Ministers and Ambassadors, and the international audience tuning in from around the world, The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam shared Paramashiva's message directly from Mahakailasa: "Practice Samadhi, enrich the world with Samadhi."

With the ripple effects of the Russia-Ukraine war resulting in at least 1 billion people all over the world being pushed below the poverty line, The SPH encouraged the practice of Nirvikalpa Samadhi unclutching to promote global peace and peaceful coexistence, declaring: "This Chaturmasya, 4 months, I sincerely recommend the whole KAILASA® works towards making 10 million people practice Samadhi."

Any individual or global problems that exist, whether it be relationship, economic, or health crisis; practicing Samadhi is the most powerful solution. The SPH shared that just 21 minutes of practice a day is enough to become highly conscious and eliminate all the unconscious blind spots responsible for almost all the problems in our life. The SPH has previously spoken elaborately about how to practice Nirvikalpa Samadhi unclutching, and those discourses can be found here at tiny.cc/unclutching.

After speaking about the importance of Nirvikalpa Samadhi, The SPH shared that according to the United Nations, the global population will become 8 billion by November 2022. The SPH observed: "Actually we human beings, as a modern society we have already reached a level where we can provide food, clothes, shelter, medical care for all 8 billion people." However:

-On one side there are home foreclosures and homes that are locked without people living in them; and on the other side there are millions homeless,
-On one side there are tons of food getting wasted and destroyed; and on the other side millions are dying without food, and
-Millions of tons of clothing are used only once and dumped into the ocean.

In response to these dire issues facing the expanding world population, The SPH announced the start of the Ishanya ProjectSM.

Inspired by the lifestyle of Paramashiva, the Ishanya Project is about collecting items which are being thrown away or wasted and in turn becoming hazardous to nature; and re-distributing them to the countries and people in need. The SPH gave a few examples of what the Ishanya Project will do, including:

-Taking excess food, which would normally be discarded, and redistributing it to those who do not have food. In this way millions will come out of poverty.
-In developed countries, because of industry standards, many medical equipment are used for only 1 or 2 years and then discarded. These medical equipment can be redistributed and used in other countries where medical equipment are in short supply.
-Collecting clothes that in good condition but not being used and redistributing to those who are in poverty.

The live Presidential Address concluded with The SPH reaffirming that this Chaturmasya is dedicated to the various initiatives within the Ishanya Project – serving society through recycling methods; and enriching the world with the practice of Nirvikalpa Samadhi Unclutching.

From 1994 until now, almost 28 years of hard work, SHRIKAILASA has organically built a global network of peacebuilders and organizations in 140 countries. It is with this whole infrastructure that The SPH is planning to get 10 million people out of poverty and 10 million people practicing Samadhi, during this 4-month Chaturmasya.
