==Teachings==
Prem Nirmal, along with his wife Bharati Nirmal, promote Householder's Spirituality. Prem Nirmal's wife Bharati says, that being a householder is the fastest way to transcend desires, grow in all dimensions and move towards a fulfilling life.<ref>http://www.lifepositive.com/Mind/Holistic_Living/Sadhana_In_Samsara122008.asp</ref>
Perm Nirmal encourages honest enquiry and has perfect methodology through which he guides his friends and disciples on the spiritual path. He has a scientific approach towards spirituality.

Various third eye experiences / Astral body experiences / Cosmic body experiences (Body expansions etc.), even though indicative of some progress on the path, are just the passing phase of meditation. Meditation needs to be supplemented with intense 'Swadhyaya' the 'self-study' to develop the intense and clear "UNDERSTAND ING" of how the mind functions and governs the behavioral patterns <ref> http://www.buddhimudra.com/wisdom/meditation/29-the-art-and-science-of-meditation</ref>.
He also advocates the concept of 'Enlightened Billionaire', i.e a “Jivan Mukta” who is living this material world as a householder yet detached from inside, thus balancing material and spiritual sides of life to grow in wisdom and lead a balanced life in holistic way. {{Citation needed|reason=reliable source needed for the whole sentence|date=July 2011}}. 'Nirmal Kriya' which was revealed unto him, is a practical way of accomplishing this.

==Nirmal Kriya==
Nirmal Kriya i.e process of enlightenment is a process through which all the five bodies, i.e Physical, etheric, emotional, mental and causal are cleansed. Nirmal Kriya automatically leads to a stateless state i.e no-mind state or meditation. Nirmal Kriya helps reduce mental stress, relieve depression and anxiety, improves immunity and cures various diseases and disorders. However, Prem Nirmal says that Nirmal Kriya's purpose is much beyond these physical improvements. It is a process of enlightenment.
Once you practice Kriya which prepares the background, it naturally throws you in a space of non-thinking, called meditation. It creates the high levels of Prana in your body-brain system that makes it easier for you to be aware of your breath and your thoughts simultaneously. You can easily get the knack of meditation when you do Kriya. <ref>[http://www.theholisticshop.com/acatalog/The_Power_of_Simplicity.html The Power of Simplicity]</ref>
Simply remain silent after doing Kriya, and keep your attention on your natural breathing process. Simultaneously keep witnessing your thoughts. You will experience very low levels of thought traffic, as in high Prana state thoughts cannot linger for long. Even if the No-thought state remains just for few seconds, you will experience the surge of energy and vitality, bringing back the positive qualities of Zest, love and joy!
