The Story of Markandeya Vienna (Austria)

AuthorLeave a comment

Conversation with Sahaja Yogis, Ashram of Vienna, (Austria), 9 June 1988. You know the story of Markandeya or not? I tell you the story of Markandeya. You see, his father had no children and the father and mother were unhappy. So they prayed to Shiva and they said that we want to have a son. Shiva said, “I’ll give you the son, but I will have to take him back after eight years. So he’ll only exist till he is about eight years of age.” So, they gave that boon to him plus this kind of a curse. The parents were very upset that “our child will die after eight years of age”, very upset. But they found the child very bright, brilliant and also shining and very religious. One day he asked his father, “Why do you always so worry, I mean, after all I am your son?” So they said that it is said so, eight years or sixteen years, something like that. “Now I will be losing you very soon. Who can surpass Shiva?” He said it, “So, I cannot think we can really ask anyone to neutralize the curse upon us. If you are not born to us we would not have been so attached to you. Now you are born to us, we are so much attached to you.” He was a very wise person, he said: “No, I know someone, I know Adi Shakti. And he went to this place where you got to Read More …

1988-0609 Radio Interview and Workshop Interviewer: Ask you to tell me first to give me a basic definition of what’s your work in. Shri Mataji: Sahaja Yoga. Interviewer: Yes. What is it? I main idea of it? Shri Mataji: Sahaja. Saha means ‘with’.  ‘Ja’ means born. Born with you. That is spontaneous. Yoga means union with the Divine. Now many people in modern times won’t believe there’s anything like this. Supposing I say there is. Keep an open mind of a scientist you must accept it as a hypothesis to begin with. Now we have a Divine power, a very subtle power everywhere but we can’t feel it.  With our human awareness we cannot feel it. With human awareness we also don’t not know the absolute truth. [even in a relative way.] So there has to be a break-through and the break-through has to take place in our universal [consciousness] And Sahaja Yoga is the method which gives you that break-through. Interviewer: How does it do this? Now within us is placed an energy which we call as kundalini in Sanskrit language,which is a residual energy in the triangular bone or the sacrum, also means sacred bone, so maybe the Greeks knew bout it. It rises like a primule in a seed, passes through six centres and pierces through the last one here and gives you what we call as self-realisation, or real baptism, here. That’s what it is. And then on your central nervous system you can feel it, Read More …

Public Program. Kongresshaus, Vienna (Austria), 9 June 1988. I bow to all the seekers of truth. Yesterday I was happy that so many of you have felt the Cool Breeze of the Holy Ghost. This is the All pervading power of God’s Love about which all the scriptures have written. But in modern times because we never felt this Breeze we have even denied the existence of God. But once you get connected to this Divine force, then it starts working through you in such a wonderful way, that you are amazed. As you see this instrument (ed: microphone) that I have here has to by connected to the mains. In the same way every human-being is to be connected to the mains, and that is this power which I am talking about. This is what Christ has said that, “You have to be born again.” Now in India we call a person who is a Brahmin, the one who has known this Brahma, the All pervading power as dwijaha – meaning twiceborn. And even a bird is called as dwijaha in Sanskrit language meaning twice-born, it is an egg-first and then it becomes the bird. But we have many people in India, just brand themselves as Brahmins, though they are not twice-born. In the same way you find it everywhere that they just take a pride, “I am this, I am that,” but they are not. If you are a twice-born person, then you have to feel this All Read More …

Unclear() Yogi: Shri Mataji, the first question I would like to ask you is its one of the facts that are known here in Austria about you, that you were worked together with Mahatma Gandhi Shri Mataji: unclear(not subtle), not working together I am not saying that way, but you see, when I was child he took me a unclear (word), I was living with him (Ed: Mahatma Gandhi) from the age of seven years quite some time that certain things of course he realized in Me perhaps. And he was a very kind person, to children especially, but a very great disciplinarian. To himself and to others also, but with children he was very kind and I used to meet him quite often. But My parents both were with him. And My father went to jail many a times, My mother went to jail. And I too took a very dynamic role when I was very young – about 18 years of age. 18, 19 in 1942-movement. And I organized lots of things when they all were in jail. My father was in jail, Mahatma Gandhi was Read More …
