Brahmanandam

Happyness is an emotion, that araises when we either acquire or achieve something. This is materialistic  happyness, which fades away as time passes. But,  that happyness which comes by shudding away worldly  enjoyments is called Brahmanandam. The first one is simply  Physical joy , where as the  second one is an everlasting spiritual bliss.

                 "Yo anthassukkho  anthararama  thad antharjothirevayaha

                  Labhathe Brahmanirvanam  Brahmabhuthodhigachchati"...Sanyasa yoga

When spiritual aspirent starts enjoying the Bliss caused by the Supreme Self dwelling inside,

his soul realises the presence of that Supreme soul.

In other words, Jeevatma  identifys itself with Paramatma which is residing in the body,since the beginning of birth.  This state of Mind,  caused because of Aleining with That Supreme Mind, is called Brahmi Sthiti. When one reaches Brahmi Sthiti, he/ she, enjoys a perticular kind of happyness beyond words, which can only be experienced. But, there is one special indication, which tells that he attained that Blissful state of Mind. ie... A Devine brightness, gloriously appears to the yogi. This brightness is not the same as that of the man made light. 

An extraordinary brilliance, associated with euphoric happyness spreads in and around the

Yogi. When once, this Antarjyothi (inner inherent light) is felt, the yogi starts travel towards Brahmanirvana; he raises to the higher spiritual levels, transcending over the ephemeral levels of

the physical body.     This is what   " Brahmabhuthodhigachchati "    means.

Ok. How long  will it take, this entire travel  to reach the  Brahmanirvana????. No one can specifically define the duration of this  Brahma yoga, because period of spiritual travel varies from yogi to yogi, according to yogi's  prarabda, and yogi's karmic currents of earlier births.

How does  this Inner bliss  helps any yogi?  Inner bliss changes the realised yogi,  to an ever cheerful person,and  frees him from dual throngs. The nature of a nature dictated spirit changes to a Spiritual self, transcending all ephemeral  conditions of this primeval body.

Bliss and Brightness expound together, bringing sanctity to the existance itself.

This "Brahmanandam"  felt in the heart of the enlightened soul. That's it. A Feeling of 

everything is in u, and u r everything, profounds the realised Yogi. Everything surrounding u

looks beautiful and serene. Once this Spiritual wealth is acquired, the rest all worldly possessions appear trivial. Unexhausting joy engulfs the Gnani.  An ordinary yogi, changes to brahmagnani. By birth we are all very simple, normal beings only. But, Practicing Yoga,  transforms  one to these heights.  So, "Yogastha kuru karmani ".

Be a Yogi. Be with yoga. Expand yourself.
