Talk Before Katak Dance. Burwood Ashram, Sydney (Australia), 15 March 1990. Shri Mataji: You see now she’s going to dance on a song, so she said space is all right for her. So to acquaint with you this kind of dancing called as katak, comes from the word katar, meaning the story telling. It’s said [INAUDIBLE] of the Northern Indian. Her guru is a very well known artist in this realm, and she has had a very intensive training in that. We are very lucky to have her here, so you could see the style, in which rhythm is very important apart from other things, that the whatever is, he’s going to tell you how she’s going to use the different tathas in Hindi, tathas are, beats to divide them into, say by sixteen by three something like that, so it’s an eternal thing. Now as you know, in our chakras also if you know, there are three gunas, now you start from the fourth. Number four. Four divided by three is eternity, so Ganesha can take Incarnation. Then six. Six has divided by three, so Brahmadeva doesn’t take Incarnation. Then comes ten. Ten divided by three, is again eternity. So the Vishnu can take Incarnations, also all the Gurus can take Incarnation. Then comes twelve, at the heart. Twelve is divided by three, so Shiva doesn’t take His form, only the Goddess does. Because it is divided completely. Then comes sixteen. Sixteen divided by three, again eternity. That’s why Read More …

Interview – Australia, Early Teachings of Shri Mataji 1990-03-15  Indians believe that it is the mother Primordial Mother that created this universe and the Father is the one who is the spectator. Question:  Is that Hindi belief? Shri Mataji: Indian.  Also I think the Greeks see believe the same way. They believed in Athena. Athe means primordial in sanskrit language. Athea is the primordial mother. I think they all believed in it before but then somehow or other accent was more on God the Father.

Shri Mataji: I was born like that. I knew that. Something different.  Question: And how did you come to found Sahaja Yoga? Shri Mataji: Sahaja Yoga is a very old system which was used before also.

Public Program for Members of Department of Religious Studies at the University of Sydney (Australia), 15 March 1990. Sahaja Yogi : Will you be standing up ?Shri Mataji: I think so, would be better. Or if you think it’s alright, then it’s alright. They can see me on the tips.[Long introduction to Shri Mataji by a Sahaja Yogi]Shri Mataji: Thank you very much.I bow to all the seekers of truth.At the very outset, we have to know one thing, that truth is what it is. We cannot organize it, we cannot order it, we cannot conceptualize it also with our human understanding. It is, it was and it will be. The essence of all religions, if you bring it down to the one-line essence, is this, that: seek the eternal, and treat the transitory with all understanding about it.The first part is the difficult one: seek the eternal. Eternal is the truth, and what is the truth? Now when I’m talking to you, you are all very well versed and very well educated people, I have to request you to have an open mind, a scientific outlook to see for yourself what I say is the truth or not, experience it, and treat all this talk as a hypothesis. And if it turns out to be the truth, then in all honesty we have to accept it. So there are two things which we may not accept, but they exist. One of them is that all this universe, all this Read More …
