But even those who are not going to Preschools are the small children when they are born. And that`s the time one has to be much more important. Because that`s the time they are the most impressionable is when they are born. I have given some instructions for the children: how to do all the things when the child is born, how the mother must be respected for 40 days and how the child must be looked after and massaged and all those things, I hope you have got all these things with you. But certain thing in that, I didn`t mention which are like medicines and things like that, simple medicines that should be given to children. The reason is, your thing was prepared by Lewis and I couldn`t tell him all that. But, for example, a very simple thing is like this. Supposing they are boiling the milk for the baby with some water, if they are mixing up water and milk. Then the problem is, if you separately boil them and mix, then the child will get cold and constipation or maybe diarrhea. But mostly constipation and cold, and nose will be always running. So basically, you give a child a problem, that this cold might continue forever. So, what you have to do is to boil both the things together, together. Start from the un-boiled Read More …

My father was a great hunter, because tigers were a menace in the area where we were living. It was a hill station called Chhindwara. So there was a king who was very much interested in My father.

Instead of that, if he had any love for himself he should have taken Realization. Now, they belong to certain organizations, say example, somebody who wants to obstruct the work of God, and they try to hamper others – for what? The same organization in Geneva, it was so absurd, there are very well know organizations everywhere, and the lady brought a Bible to hit Me. And it was such a big joke for Me (Shri Mataji laughing) to see that she had come to hit Me with a Bible. And I started roaring with laughter, instead of getting any fear from her, “Oh,” I said, “That’s wonderful.” It’s all on the tape, of course, but I told her, “Why are you mad? Who is paying you? Why are you doing this madness, how long are you going to do it? Why don’t you think of your benefit, why don’t you think what good it can do to you? You don’t have Read More …
