Excerpts of Ācārya Mahāmanḍaleśvar Sukhadevanandji Speech (translation from Hindi)

“Worthy of supreme reverence. Worthy of remembering at dawn. Mahāmanḍaleśvar Sri Nithyananda ji Maharaj and other revered respective head of mandalas present here.

Today, I was supremely delighted to have attended the grand celebration of the welfare and spiritual birth of infinite jīvas.

Śri Nithyananda Mahāraj, whom we highly revere, blessed is the mother who has given birth to the great being, blessed is that father, and land which has given birth to such divine beings.

They are all incarnations. This is Avatāran (descent of the divine being), not birth.

Taking human body such distinct divine personalities manifest themselves in this world. Some people at that time don’t cognize them. Because we are idol worshipers, only later we worship them as idols by calling them God.

I am coming here for the second time, at this place, this special place, this divine action field of yours, where I am seeing so many people, coming from their houses, on the grand celebration of your birthday, bearing so many hardships, walking for 15 -15 days, it amazes me. I have seen people going to Sabarimala and at many other places, but here too, I see them coming in a procession, blowing trumpets, beating drums, singing songs, doing kirtans. It makes me very happy. It is not a simple act. Some people writhe in pain seeing this. But I feel only happiness. It is that distinct supreme lord, which incarnates, manifests Himself in infinite forms for the betterment of this world.

It is a divine play. They do such leelas in many forms. Sometimes in the form of a Guru, sometimes as a dear friend, sometimes as a brother.

The Holiest being who is present here has come from in your midst. Lotus sprouts from the mud only. But there no stench of the mud, what it has is the divine beauty and smell.

So today, what I had today is the direct darshan of Satyam (eternal Truth), Śivam (Eternal auspiciousness) and Sundaram (eternal joy).

Secondly, and it gives me great happiness to say this, I am the Atal Peethadheeshwar, and even if it is possibly in the womb of the future, but I announce that in the near future, Swami Nithyananda ji will be felicitated as the Ācārya Mahāmanḍaleśvar of Atal Peetha.”
