About The Oneness Blessing

It has often been said that if you take one step towards God, then God will take a hundred steps towards you. We have so many ways to take a step towards the divine: prayer, meditation, chanting — in fact every kind of spiritual practice in every tradition. The Oneness Blessing is one way that the divine can reach out to mankind; it is a gift, a benediction of grace.

The Oneness Blessing results in a growth in consciousness. It is the phenomenon behind the work of Oneness. It is an act of energy transfer by touch or by the power of intent.

The Oneness Blessing is a non-denominational experience that transfers physical energy, awakening our connection with the oneness in everything, allowing each of us to deepen our relationship with those we love, with ourselves, with strangers and with our creator.

The Oneness Blessing initiates a neuro-biological change in the brain. There are 16 centers in the brain responsible for definitive experiences like sensory perception, emotions of jealousy, hatred, fear, compassion, love, joy, separation, connectedness, creativity, learning, etc. The Oneness Blessing results in the activation of certain centers and the de-activation of certain other centers thus bringing about a shift in the perception and experience of life.

The Oneness Blessing is also found to help in the healing of the body and in the discharge of repetitive emotional patterns, resulting in greater ease and comfort with oneself.

In relationships it enables a greater sensitivity and connectedness with the other, freeing you from the limitations of your judgments and conditionings.

Success and prosperity begins with consciousness – a capacity to expand your horizon of thinking and an understanding of the universe around you, the principles governing you.

How is the Oneness Blessing given?

The Oneness Blessing is generally given when a Blessing giver places their hands on the recipient’s head for several seconds to a few minutes. It can also be given without touching the person at all, just through the power of intention. In this way the Oneness Blessing can be given to hundreds or even thousands of people at the same time.

Who can offer the Oneness Blessing to others?

The Oneness Blessing can be transferred by anyone who has received the transmission and training during a special process at one of the Oneness campuses either in India, Fiji or Italy. These people are often referred to as Oneness Blessing Givers. The Oneness Blessing Giver then works, as an empty vessel, for the energy to transfer to the recipient.

Can anyone receive the benefits of the Oneness Blessing?

Yes. It is not necessary to attend one of the Oneness Courses in order to receive the benefits of the Oneness Blessing. Most adults and children can receive the Oneness Blessing at any time.

Why has the Oneness Blessing come at this time?

Our planet, and all of humanity, is currently undergoing a major evolutionary transformation. This is impacting our environment, our social structures, and our individual and collective consciousness. The co-founders of Oneness, Sri Bhagavan and Sri Amma, are here to help with this transformation.

Research Results

Since early 2008, scientific studies have been conducted at major universities in the United States on the effects of the Oneness Blessing on the brain. We know from the multitude of shared stories and from earlier, smaller studies that the Blessing/Deeksha seems to create a neurobiological shift on the brain of the receiver resulting in a state of inner peace, connection, joy, and higher level awareness. Additionally, thousands of individuals who have received the Blessing report improvements in relaxation, focus, functioning, and relationships.

Currently, the Blessing is used in medical facilities located in various countries to support treatments for a variety of conditions. These include chronic pain, inflammatory diseases, infertility, and cancer. In some cases, scientists are carefully following the effects of the Oneness Blessing.

At present, one study is using imaging technology to map the effects of the Oneness Blessing on the brain. Conducted at the medical center of a major America university, this research enters its second phase in the fall of 2008.

We look forward to the publication of these studies and will make them freely available as soon as the results are presented.

Founders

Sri Amma and Sri Bhagavan are the global visionaries behind the Oneness phenomenon, whose lives have been dedicated to accelerating the release of human suffering and help people live better lives. To know SriAmmaBhagavan, as they are known to the millions who have benefited from their work, is to know the limitless potential of human existence when heart is aligned with intent in the loftiest aspirations for our world.

To know SriAmmaBhagavan is also to understand the realm of possibility beyond the human condition. Day after day, hundreds of individuals from all over the globe come to the Oneness University seeking peace, inner calm and an opportunity for contribution with the larger challenges facing humanity.

What they find is miraculous transformations; the release of deep trauma, the healing of broken relationships, the restoration of a sense of purpose, and even opportunities to recover from emotional and physical conditions through the energy of the Oneness Blessing.

Sri Amma was born on August 15, 1954, in Sangam Village, Nellore District, in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Her parents, Smt. Penchalamma and Sri Venkaiah Nadu, knew from very early in her life that theirs was an unusual child, precociously attuned to the needs of others, and clear in her acceptance of service as the ultimate joy. As she grew up, the young Amma was often found listening to the stories of families in crisis, assisting those families with material and spiritual help, and cultivating a relationship with the Divine born of a desire to be a vehicle so that others would receive the benefits of grace.

Sri Bhagavan was born on March 7, 1949, in Natham Village, Tamil Nadu, to Smt. Vaidarbhi Amma and Sri Varadarajulu Naidu, parents who fostered their son’s awareness of the role of divine grace in our lives. Already as a young teenager, Sri Bhagavan knew that the solution to the problems of our world must rest in the alleviation of the deep suffering that caused neighbor to hate neighbor, families to break up, and countries to threaten each others with war and extinction. His precocious vision allowed him to inquire into the causes behind human conflict with his probing intellect and his wise, knowing heart.

Sri Bhagavan saw that the root of conflict among human beings was not just about material suffering, but about the ravage that existential suffering could cause in the spirit of every man, from the poorest to the most successful. Sri Bhagavan studied the beliefs and history of the major religious and spiritual movements around the world, including Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and Hinduism. He discovered that dogma by itself left believers empty, for it could not provide the actual, live experience of the divine. He longed to find a way to help the common man to experience the profound connection to the divine that a mystic felt.

In the clarity of his understanding, Sri Bhagavan also saw that material conditions were peripheral to the reality of human suffering. They were not the root of the problem, but at some point they became entangled with the search for solutions. Many faiths advocated renunciation, while others yet advocated the search for prosperity. Sri Bhagavan came to conclude that these beliefs, in any form, were restrictions placed upon the human psyche and thus another layer of distancing from the actual experience of the divine was established. He was convince that to fully experience the Divine, humanity needed to be free of dogma and free of entanglements associated with values or expectation.

Throughout his youth, Sri Bhagavan took a deep intent (or sankalpa in Sanskrit) to find a way to help all men and women, regardless of their origin, belief, lifestyle of religious association, make that quick leap into an unimpeded experience of the Divine that was only previously available to mystics. He met Sri Amma and discovered that she had the same desire and intent, and they were married on June 9, 1976, and eventually had one son, Sri Krishna, whose intellect and devotion was a force behind the building of the facilities that house the Oneness Uinversity and the Oneness Temple.

With Sri Amma now as his partner, they founded the Jeevashram School in 1984, and this institution, devoted to educating and loving students in a holistic manner, became the cradle of the Oneness Blessing phenomenon. As the Blessing started pouring through their son and their young students, Sri AmmaBhagavan saw that this energy was given for the benefit of all humanity, not to liberate a chosen few, but to share the grace of the Blessing with anyone and everyone looking for transformation, healing, and a purposeful, joyous life. From the Jeevashram school and later the University, SriAmmaBhagavan created a body of teachings suited for the new earth in this new millennium.

The most intelligent, advanced and exquisitely simple teachings have been put forth as the offering of the Oneness University, and they have been embraced by everyone, from those who have never attended school to the highly educated and sophisticated. It is because in their language, their teachings are like rays of sunlight that alight upon every human concern and illuminate our understanding not just intellectually but also experientially. Sri AmmaBhagavan believe that experiencing is the requirement of a life lived in full, and that everything and anything, if experienced fully, regardless of how difficult or tragic, eventually turns to joy.

Sri AmmaBhagavan currently have oversight of all the courses of the Oneness University with the Guides that they have carefully selected and trained to teach the students that arrive from all over the world. The operational and decisional level at the University is in the hands of three Acharyas or Senior Guides who were among SriAmmaBhagavan’s first young disciples in the Jeevashram school, and who are as brilliant and devoted to humanity as their loving mentors. The work of the Acharyas and the Guides continues to bring forth the new paradigm of human consciousness that is Sri AmmaBhagavan’s gift to civilization now and forever.
