Interview with a Greek Journalist, at Greg and Cheryl Bradshaw’s house, Melbourne (Australia), March 4th, 1990 Shri Mataji: What lotuses! Very surprising! Interviewer: I’ve heard that You’ve been brought up in some of – I’m a Greek descendant myself, I was born, my life birth [unsure] in an island in the Aegean Sea. And I’ve heard that You’ve been to Greece. Shri Mataji: Oh, Greece is tremendous! Tremendous people, Greeks. You see, they’re very traditional. They’re very traditional people and they understand this, you see, and you had such great philosophers like Socrates. So, I mean, is all in-built within them absolutely and they’re very subtle people also. They understand serenity. I mean, in the whole of Europe I never heard this word anywhere except in Greece, the word serenity. And it’s beautiful. Interviewer: Could you tell me what’s the record of your philosophy? Shri Mataji: All right. The, you see, the philosophy is actually the practical side of it. Whatever has been the philosophy so far that you have to know yourself: ‘Know Thyself. Also Socrates said the same thing and Christ said the same thing, that you are to be born again. All the scriptures, all the saints have said, ‘You are to be born again’ or ‘You have to know yourself.’ Now how to do it? You see, how to achieve it was the problem which now is being solved.

Airport Arrival & Talk to Sahaja Yogis: For our ascent is very important to be collective Melbourne Airport, Melbourne (Australia)

Informal Talk to Sahaja Yogis. Melbourne (Australia), 4 March 1990. Very happy to be back here in Melbourne, after such a long gap, and everybody’s grown up so much; nice to see you all so healthy, beautiful and joyous. Of course I feel sad about the ashram that we have lost, that we should not have lost the ashram. But whatever has happened you can’t help it; but it’s important for Sahaja Yoga that we have to live together. I also told the same thing in Perth, that try to get a big place, because you know your children are there, and you all are there, and if you are together, negativity runs away. It has such a tremendous force, an ashram has a tremendous force. When you live together, you help each other, you understand each other, you know so many things, you learn so many things from each other and, it could be done very easily, once you start enjoying the collectivity. Human being is a social being. He is not a person who wants to live in a – single way. That’s why if you jail someone, if somebody’s in jail, it becomes a punishment. Though in the jail you have all the conveniences, everything is there, on the contrary you don’t have to work so hard, you get your food all right, everything is fine, somebody cooks for you. But it’s a punishment. And for our ascent is very important to be collective. It’s said that Read More …

Talk to Sahaja Yogis:  In Sahaja Yoga we should not criticize anybody Applecross ashram in Perth, Perth (Australia)

Talk to Sahaja Yogis, Perth Ashram, Australia. 04-03-1990  So for all the Sahaja Yogis from Perth, I must say all the Indian Sahaja Yogis have sent their love and are sorry that they could not come here, though the musicians would be coming other side of Australia. But in any case I will give them the good news that you have already become musicians. Now coming back to the basics in Sahaja Yoga, we have to know that in Sahaja Yoga we have no hard and fast rules for anything because you are awakened people; you are saints, you know what is good for you. But you must keep that quality of saintliness within you. And certain things you should avoid yourself if possible and if not then see what’s wrong with your centres. If something’s wrong with your centres you start getting into problems, getting into ideas, something’s which are destructive. So best is to judge yourself first of all, how are your vibrations. Now the best part that has happened so far I think is that the Perth (inaudible) is happy and they have assured me that they will try and get a big ashram. Because yesterday you saw how many people were there, day before you saw how many people were there. Now if you have to help somebody in such a big way then we have to have a big ashram, a big place where people can come. Now found out a suggestion another one if Read More …
