Tantrism is a system in which people do anti-God activity Royal Exhibition Building, Melbourne (Australia)

First Public Program Day 1. Melbourne (Australia), 8 March 1983. Bill: Mother is one being on this earth who can actually give that Self-realization, who can actually give you that enlightenment. No sitting in little rooms doing strange positions for months on end, to purify yourself and get yourself to some higher plain, no sitting down, repeating mantras endlessly on the hope that maybe one day you will reach some other state of consciousness, or some other higher stage of development, evolution.

As you’ll see there are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven different major centers marked in the diagram. They represent what we call chakras, which are energy centers within the spinal column. Now they are not things that you can carve open a spine and see within them, they are subtle energy centers, in the same way that you can’t pull a television set apart and see the picture.

And She is, I think, well known for being an outspoken critic of many of the false gurus that are purveying their ways in the marketplace today. So, She’ll tell you anything you wish to know about Her message and the work that She’s doing. Basically, it’s to put you in touch with your spirit so that you become a master of your own Self. You don’t depend upon a guru, you don’t depend slavishly upon any other external influence, but you become master of your Self. So without any further introduction I’d like you to meet Mataji Nirmala Devi. Shri Mataji: Now, I think, we should have questions first. Journalist: What is Self-realization and how do You grant it?
