Public Program Day 2, Kuala Lumpur, 1990-11-02 I bow to all the seekers of truth. As I told you yesterday, that the truth is that you are the spirit and the second truth is that when you become the spirit you can feel the all pervading power of God’s love. Yesterday so many of you have felt and now we have to know that unless and until we are connected to that power which is “Yoga”, which happens spontaneously “Sahaja” born with you is this right to feel the existence of God’s love to get connected to have the yoga. Yoga also means “Yukti” means we can in very simple English way “trick of the trade” “Yukti” means how to work out this power. So the first is to feel the yoga and then is to feel in collective consciousness our own chakras our own subtle centres and the centres of other people. Then we have to know how to correct those centres. This is the part we call as “Yukti” which one has to learn. For that nobody has to pay anything. It’s a knowledge above any money, above any gold, above any precious thing you think  because it’s too precious, you can’t pay for it. So now we have here as I told you there are seven centres before one, two three four five six and seven centre and these centres are created by two Nadis, one is on the left side and another on the right side.

Seek the Eternal Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia)

1990-11-01 Seek the Eternal, Public Program Day 1, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 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 conceptualize it with our human awareness nor can we organize it. It is what it was and it is what it is, it will be what it is. So to know it you have to rise higher than this human level into the level of spirit. Unless and until you do that whatever you think whatever you conceptualize creates problems.  That’s why all the scriptures have said one thing that seek the eternal and treat the transitory with all its understanding and limitations but this is only possible if you have become the spirit. All the saints have said that you have to know yourself, unless and until you know yourself, the illusion and ignorance won’t go. If you see in the Chinese right from Confucius, Lao-Tze all of them have talked about it.  For Christians, Christ has said the same thing, for Sikhs guru Nanak has said the same thing that you must seek the truth. And when these people have told you all these things about Sahaj yoga, it is very important to understand that you should not blindly believe anyone of us. Blind faith will lead you nowhere because you are seeking the truth. So unless and until you have found out the truth you are not to believe into Read More …

Diwali Puja: Touch Your Depth Chioggia (Italy)

Diwali Puja. Chioggia, Venice (Italy), 21 October 1990. It was such a surprise to see you all in that procession. Actually I was waiting and waiting, and I thought, “Why these people are not coming to call Me for Puja?” It was a beautiful surprise, it’s very joy giving. The joy was dancing in your eyes. I could see the lights in your eyes and this is the real Diwali.Diwali word comes from two words: ‘dipa’ and ‘awali’. Dipa means, you know, lights, and awali means rows, rows and rows of lights. Seems it’s a very, very ancient idea and all over in the world, you see, whenever they have to celebrate something then they put lights. And lights because light gives joy, gives happiness. So to overcome the darkness of ignorance also we have to enlighten ourselves. And that is why is important that everybody should get Self-realization to feel the light within themselves. And you must have noticed that after realization the eyes also sparkle. There’s light in the eyes of every Sahaja yogi.Today is the day when we worship the Lakshmi, Lakshmi principle, which is in our Nabhi. Lakshmi principle that is understood, I’ve told you many a time, described Lakshmi to you that She stands on a lotus and She has two lotuses in Her hands. That means She’s so benevolent, so kind that She doesn’t pressurize anyone. But normally you don’t find that. Anybody who has money, he’ll just try to pressurize or try to Read More …

Press Conference. Bucharest (Romania), 17 October 1990. [BEGINNING MISSING] …and in our body also everything is controlled. Our nose grows to a certain point, eyes grow to a certain point. So it regulates, organizes. It’s the most efficient organization. Sitting down here you can feel the vibrations of any person whether dead or alive. Because it is the causal of the subtle of ether also and we ourselves become like a computer. Whatever you want to know you can know on your fingertips. Even if you have ten children who are realized souls, you tie up their eyes and ask them,“What’s wrong with this gentleman?” They will say, all of them will say the same finger, this is the finger for it. Now, this finger relates to your this center, on the right hand side. If you ask the gentleman, “Are you suffering from throat trouble?” He’ll say, “Yes, how do you know?” So, it’s a universal truth you know, because Spirit is a universal being within us. And so we develop a personality which is universal. This personality does not record any conditioning of a race, or country, or religion, or anything – transcends. Above all, this all-pervading Power is compassion and loves you, and the Spirit that shines in your attention makes you really dynamic. Every chakra you see here has some specialty. For the second chakra, which we call as Swadishthan, is the chakra for creativity. Many artists who have come to Sahaja Yoga are today world famous. Read More …

The Power of Pure Love Bucharest, Sala Palatului (Romania)

AuthorLeave a comment

Public Program Day 1. Bucharest (Romania), 16 October 1990. [MISSING FROM THE RECORDED SPEECH]All of you have had it. When the Spirit shines in your attention, the attention becomes very powerful and we have never used the power of love, of pure love. The pure love is like a sap in the tree. And it goes to the various parts of the tree. It nourishes all the parts of the tree. But supposing it gets attached to any flower or any fruit, then the tree will die and the fruit will die. So the pure love nourishes, enlightens and makes you absolutely pure. You enjoy your purity, you enjoy your virtues and a new race comes up which loves. There is no fight, there is no struggle, such a satisfied personality you develop. This attention is so pure that when you put your attention on to anyone with this purity, you can purify other person. You can cure that person, you can give peace to that person, because Spirit is the source of peace. It is the source of joy. It is not a duality of happiness and unhappiness, but singular joy. You become a person who witnesses the whole thing as a drama. When you are moving on the periphery of a wheel, then you feel the movement. And you feel all the disturbances. But if you are on the axis, then you see the movement of the wheel but you are at peace. This is what happens to Read More …

Public Program Moscow, Russia 1990-10-11 I bow to all the seekers of Truth. As I told you last time that Truth is what it is. You cannot do lip service about it and you cannot have any pretensions about it. Truth has to be felt on your Central Nervous System. As you can clearly see this platform made of different colors – clearly see it and as you can feel the heat of the candles, you have to feel the Truth on your finger-tips. I mean, on your Central Nervous System. It is not empty talk. It is something that has to happen to you. It is the actualization of the experience of the Spirit. This arrangement is within us already made. – So far, we have believed in everything blindly. We believe in all kinds of political arrangements but all those arrangements, whether it is democracy, communism, anything has failed completely, everywhere. You should never think that you are the only people who are suffering but everywhere, whatever systems they have followed, all of them are suffering in different ways. They sacrifice so much to achieve their freedom. They went to jail and so many died and so many were killed but what they achieve is the outside freedom but inside they’re not free.

10th Day of Navaratri, The deities are watching you thumbnail

10th Day of Navaratri, The deities are watching you Geneva (Switzerland)

Author1 Comment

Navaratri Puja, “The deities are watching you”. Arzier, Geneva (Switzerland), 23 September 1990. According to the calendar, this year there are ten days of Navaratri, not of nine. Nine are the days, in the night, when the Goddess had to fight the demons and to save Her children from the effects of negativity. On one side She was ocean of love and compassion, and on the other side She was protecting them like a tigress; because the times were such that nobody could meditate, nobody could take the name of God, nobody could think even of Self-Realisation. But those who are sitting here today, you have been there also in those days, and you were all saved for today, for this day, so that you can achieve your Self-Realisation. The form of the Goddess in those days was not maya swarupi. She was in Her real form and that created a great awe, even among the disciples. So the question of giving them Self-Realisation was not there. First of all they were to be saved. So, like nine months the mother has to keep the child in her womb, for these nine months or you can say nine yugas, nine times, you all have been saved properly, and on the tenth month you are given your birth. Also this birth is always after seven days of nine months. So we had to wait for some time till it matures. Now the tenth Navaratri today is to celebrate actually the Adi Read More …

And you keep all of these gods in the state of excitement and you proceed to battle showing great anger on your face and lift your arms which holds the deadly weapons (all the weapons are deadly weapons in the hand of the goddess to strike the demons) Shri Mataji: This is only the one side of the goddess… you see … Sahaja yogi: And this is again one more of the goddesses on the battlefield and you can see it ….. Shri Mataji: This is the description of the Mahishasura’s killing and that’s why it is more than how she kills the demons to protect her children from the invading evil this is why more of her warrior-like capacities are described … Sahaja Yogi: This is for another 3 overs after that it’s the description of the Goddess as the mother and Ocean of Compassion.

Talk Arzier, Talk on Children at Girvins Ashram (Switzerland), 21 September 1990. And so there are many hunters who are trying to find out this castori, this musk, and they are looking they are looking for the deer. So please keep your deer, that is the innocence, you see. The children’s innocence is now attacked, under attack, and there is such an attack coming on innocence that you have to care, be careful about your own children. Harane means those deer, because deer is a small thing, so be careful about those deer, look after them. The full term is keep them clear, keep them safe. A time may come when we will feel our own breathing as something stranger as if they are not our own, stranger, that’s why keep your hands into each other because it is very dark. Very nice message for all the Sahaja Yogis. And this is what one has to understand that you must try to understand your leader. I wanted to talk to the collectivity here today about what has happened in Switzerland, also that, you see, we had Arneau here, and Arneau became a very right-sided and this and that. So as a result of that, Swiss people have become the other way round, I think. And it’s a kind of a feeling that as Arneau was, there’s a pressure I think, on the new leader who is a very good man and he is very good. So if you pressurize, then Read More …

How to make out a real guru? thumbnail

How to make out a real guru? Fêtes de Thônex, Thônex (Switzerland)

AuthorLeave a comment

Public Program Day 2. Geneva (Switzerland), 19 September 1990. I bow to all the seekers of truth. For those who have come for the first time today I have to tell them that truth is what it is and it cannot be organized and it cannot be understood or felt by this human awareness. Now the first question that is asked in practically in every program I have is this: how to make out a real master or a real guru. The first thing to know about a guru is through the disciples. You should find out if the disciples are righteous people, if they are compassionate or if they can raise your Kundalini. Also, you should find out if they are wise and what are the relations of these people among themselves. They have to have the full knowledge of the Kundalini and the Self-realization. If they ask you to say some mantras then you should ask, “Why this particular mantra for me? What is wrong with me? Why this one?” But the first thing you should see that have you to pay any money for the Self-realization or for anything. You cannot sell God. And we have known that all the saints who lived on this earth or all the incarnations who lived on this earth never charged in any money for their knowledge. You cannot earn your living on this knowledge. You have to do your own work, whatever you have been doing, and you have to Read More …

At the very outset, we have to understand that truth is what it is.We cannot organise it.We cannot regulate it and we cannot conceal it.Also, we have to realise that truth cannot be known at human awareness.Truth has no pretensions and no drama.Whatever I am going to talk to you today, you have to listen to it with a scientific mind, with an open mind.If whatever I am saying is the hypotheses and if it is the truth then as honest people you have to accept it. Because it is for your benevolence.It is for the benevolence of your country.It is for the benevolence of the whole of humanity.Whatever he has told you about the eternal system which is built-in within us is our last breakthrough.This last breakthrough has to work out in a way that it is a living process.From amoeba, we have become human beings.Spontaneous.That is Sahaja.Sa means with.Ja means born.Yoga means the union with the all-pervading power of Devine love.You are the spirit.This is the truth about you.You are not this body, you are not this mind, you are not these emotions, you are not this ego or your conditionings but you are pure spirit.But there is another truth that all living work is done by a very subtle power which exists in all the elements and exists everywhere which is the all-pervading power of Devine love.We have this eternal guide Read More …

Public Program. Hammersmith Town Hall, London (UK), 14 September 1990. I bow to all the seekers of truth.At the very outset we have to know that truth is what it is. We cannot organize it, we cannot mold it. Also we cannot know it at the stage when we are human beings, with human awareness we cannot know it. So we have to become a super human being, a higher personality. What is said that you have to be the Spirit, you have to be the Self. In all the scriptures, in all the religions it has been said that you have to be the Spirit. I mean we see the turmoil and the problems of the world that are completely show us clearly that there is so much of a mess and most of them are the problems created by human beings. We have to do some introspection and some soul searching and we have to find out, after all, why we human beings have created all these problems for ourselves. We have had philosophies, we have ideologies, we have so many kinds of enterprises but despite that there are so many differences and the differences are having larger and larger gaps. If it is the truth, it has to be the truth for everyone. Everyone has to say: “This is The Truth”. But it has to be the Absolute Truth.

Shri Mahakali puja, “Collectivity & Purity”. Le Raincy (France), 12 September 1990. We have had Bhairava puja in Belgium and now I thought today let us have Mahakali puja because yesterday’s experience, last night’s experience, was the work of Mahakali. She has a double role all the time, she is at two extremes. On one side, she is full of joy, giver of joy, she’s very happy when she sees her disciples are joyous. Joy is her own quality, is her energy. And yesterday you must have been amazed to see so many middle-aged ladies of France smiling and laughing. I had never seen them smiling! It’s very surprising how they were so joyous and so very happy. And this is the energy of Mahakali, that gives you all that joy after Realisation, and the joy you enjoy among yourselves. All these are the qualities of Mahakali. And when they will read out the names of Mahakali you will know how her powers manifest in Sahaja Yoga and how it has helped you all to get drenched into the ocean of joy. To begin with, I have to tell you one thing that Mahakali puja, when you are doing, you have to feel a joy within yourself, and joy from other Sahaja Yogis. If you cannot feel that, that means you are not yet grown and there’s some problem, maybe with your parents, maybe with your children, maybe your family, with your country, whatever it is. But there’s some sort Read More …

Some of you can move here so that they can also come here, so it won’t be a problem. You sit in front here. They are better, you see. Good. Open this door, would be all right. It’s all right, you can open the door if you like. It’s all right. Better open – these doors cannot be opened? They don’t open? Oh, my God! You need a tall person. You need Hanumana! Take His name and He’ll open! Keep a chair in front of that. Today we have come here to do Hanumana’s Puja. Shri Hanumana is a great character in our being and He runs all the way from Swadishthana to your brain and He supplies all the necessary guidance we need in our futuristic planning or in our mental activities. He gives us guidance and protection. As you know that Germany is a place where people are very active, very right-sided, use their brain too much and they are very machine-oriented also. It is very surprising how a deity like Shri Hanumana, who is an eternal child, because He was like a monkey. His head was that of a monkey, if not of an elephant.

1990 – 08 – 29; Public Program, Frankfurt Germany Shri Mataji: I bow to all the seekers of truth.  At the very outset, we have to know that truth is what it is. We cannot change it, organise it, or describe it. Unless and until you know it, whatever one may say about the truth, one need not accept. Then another difficulty is that at human awareness we cannot know the truth. It is only knowledgeable once we reach a higher state of self-realisation. At the human awareness, as we come, we do not (unclear) truth. If you had truth, then there would have been no problems. We all would have felt the same way if it was the absolute truth. Like you see a candle for example, or the (unclear) here. All of you can see. It is so. There are all the (unclear).  So something has to happen to human beings, by which they have to know the absolute truth. We see so many problems around us.

This is the raga as called as ‘Miyan ki Malhar’.’ Now ”Miyan” is a person, very well known in the history of India. His name was Tansen. Actually, I don’t know what his real name was, but this was a kind of an honour name given to him by ‘Akbar the Great’, who ruled in our country. And he was a very cosmopolitan man. He had married a Hindu lady also Jodha Bai. And this Akbar also wrote ‘Ain-i-Akbar’ which is something like, just like Sahaja Yoga. He tried to integrate all the religions and gave the best principle of all the religions. This was the great work Akbar had done. Now he was also, so fond of Indian music. He had Tansen in his court, where he looked after that man. Formerly, in our country, all the kings used to look after the artists, musicians, artists and all that. So, this, he made this special raga. He is known for this raga ‘Miyan ki Malhar ‘. And another one he has made, which is the very famous one, ‘Deepak’ raga. But that, nowadays nobody plays, which is the raga by which lights used to get enlightened. Like, he would play that raga and if you had all these little, little lamps, as we use in Diwali, they used to get light up. That was said about him. And when it Read More …

Shri Ganesha Puja, Lanersbach (Austria), 26 August 1990 Today we are celebrating the birthday of Shri Ganesha. You all know the story of His birth and I need not repeat it. But, as He was created by the Mother only, by Adi Shakti, in the same way you are all created after Him. So, you are on the path of Shri Ganesha already. Your eyes sparkle the same way His eyes sparkle. You all have the beautiful glow on your face as He had. Whether you are small, big, or old makes no difference. All the beauty comes to us through the glow of Shri Ganesha. If He’s satisfied, then we don’t have to worry about any other deities, because the power of all the deities is Shri Ganesha. He’s like a vice-chancellor sitting on every chakra. Unless and until He signs, Kundalini cannot cross through, because Kundalini’s the Gauri and is the Virgin Mother of Shri Ganesh. Now we have to understand that we are here in the Western society where so much has gone wrong because we never bothered to look after Shri Ganesha. Christ came and His message spread all over the world. He talked of things which are not practised by Christians, not at all. Because whatever they started is not based on truth. The truth is that Shri Ganesha took birth as Christ. If that is the truth, then they have to understand in the light of Shri Ganesha this great incarnation of Christ. That Read More …

Talk before Shri Ganesha Puja 1990-0826 So we have all gathered here today in this country of Austria, which in Sanskrit we call it Astra.  Astra means: The divine weapons. And the greatest credit,  I would give to Austria is this: That you don´t find  any fundamentalism of any kind, whether it is Islam, or whether it is Christian, or Hindu  any kind of fundamentalism operating in this country. Which is a very, very, very rare thing.  Right from Russia to England you find everywhere there is a subtle fundamentalism existing. And this country has this speciality that there is no fundamentalism. And also racialism you don´t feel here at all.  In every country I have felt that there is racialism.  Of course, in Russia, there isn´t. But otherwise.  So this country seems to be  a very open minded country and perhaps because they have  such beautiful nature with them. In this beautiful nature they want to enjoy the natüre and for that you have to have an open heart. Or maybe the vice versa, the natüre must have opened their heart. So, this land has a speciality: And I am very happy you all have from all the way  from so many countries, even from America, Australia,  India, such far-off countries you have assembled here  for this celebration and yesterday we actually saw ourselves, with our own eyes, the grace falling on this country.

Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet (from 1988 to 1990) and President of the Soviet Union (from 1990 to 1991). My humble plans for a future global system:These are certain ideas I have for individual and social transformation after Sahaja Yoga has established awareness of ‘collective consciousness’. (This is the state one achieves as a result of his internal transformation through Self-Realisation. He also feels the All-pervading Power of Love that does all living work. As a result one sees the world as one nation, one sees one truth about human beings and their different ideologies. One develops a truly global perspective.I believe that you are very much a person who can have this perspective and that you can plan for our common future. The state of ‘collective consciousness’ that I refer to will give us the sustaining strength and wisdom that we need in pursuit of Global Government. Through this state of consciousness we can easily develop:1) A political system that will easily secure effective participation in decision-making, not according to selfish Interest, but in accordance with the laws of Truth.2) A balanced economic system catering for the essential requirements of human Consumption based on the barter system. A truly global system would provide the machinery for evaluating the right ratio of distribution according to supply and demand, but even more importantly, on a truly humanitarian basis.3) A social system based on righteous and noble values can be developed without any problems or disharmony, because with collective Read More …

Shri Krishna Puja: Awakening of Shri Krishna Within thumbnail

Shri Krishna Puja: Awakening of Shri Krishna Within Hallowtree Scout Campsite, Ipswich (England)

Author1 Comment

Shri Krishna Puja. (UK), 19 August 1990. We have arranged this Puja specially in England so that many more can come and work out the awakening of Shri Krishna. Gita was written long time back, and it has been translated into so many languages, and lots of commentaries and criticism has been there. So this bookish knowledge of Gita has ruined many people, and even today you find there are many people who are selling the books of Gita all over and making it into a bookish knowledge. I don’t think Krishna ever thought that His knowledge will be sold out like this to every Tom, Dick and Harry. As now, as you know, the Jehovah’s Witness, they also selling Bible. So it has become a marketing company for Shri Krishna’s Gita. There have been lots of horrible things against the real religion of ascent, and Krishna has said, “Whenever there is the decline of religion,” which is true today very much, “and whenever there is the saints being tortured, I come on this earth to save the saints, and to destroy all the negative forces and the devils,” as you call them, rakshasas. Pushtas they are called as, cruel people. So awakening of Krishna is very important, that within us He should arise and He should manifest His qualities within us. Then only the forces will work out. Krishna, as a child, killed so many rakshasas. Then He played with gopis just to open their Kundalini; He had the Read More …

Sir CP Presentation and Shri Mataji short talk Hallowtree Scout Campsite, Ipswich,England,1990 [Starts at 12:12] Shri Mataji: I must say mister Srivastava’s speech was so embarrassing that I got frozen into the chair. [Big laughter] I don’t know what is the program now is, but I would like to know how many are going back this evening to the airport? Hardly very few. Of course, you see, what I was thinking that you all could have your lunch and then we could come for the puja. The puja is going to last for about three hours, at least two and a half hours, so you’ll be free at about five o’clock if you don’t mind. [Laughter. Applause] So I have not consulted doctor Spiro but I’d better ask him. [Laughter] It’s one thirty already, you see, thanks to the sahaj method of the nature, the rain starts a long time. Alright, doesn’t matter, now it has stopped and everything is fine but still, I would say, let them have their lunch and then we can have the puja later on. There are hardly three, four people who are going this evening. So, it’s nice we can spend more time together. [Laughter. Applause] There’s a – one thing is that we are beyond time, “kalatit”: we are beyond time and we adjust everything according to our own rhythm, we are not bothered about this Swiss watch. I hope it’s Swiss. [Laughter] Mine always is out of order, so it’s alright. [Laughter] Read More …

Shri Krishna Havan Hallowtree Scout Campsite, Ipswich (England)

Shri Krishna Havan, 1990-08-18 So we have today a special day for America and Canada this Havan I was thinking we should specially dedicate to the awakening of American and Canadian people. On one side all modernism has given us so many things for Sahaja yoga for example, this loudspeaker, this one, then we have little planes that I can travel, at the time of Christ nobody could think of that. Then we have television and one can give Realization on television. So many things there are. So, the quality of communication which is the quality of Virata of the Vishuddhi Chakra is being manifested and we are using it and is of a great help to Sahaja yoga. This is on one side.               On the other side I find there are certain recognitions which we have got from America which we could not get anywhere. For example, we have got these procession of a church, which is the highest as a religion in America. That we could not have got anywhere else. I mean, in England you cannot even think of it. In England only there is only one religion and that is [unclear text] and the situation is on the other side now. So, the freedom which we have used has given us lots of benefits and also whatever things we have used which have come out of their communication advancement has helped us a lot. But these things are also used by other people so there is Read More …

1990-08-18 Speeches in Honor of Sir C.P. Transcript of Speeches in Honor of Sir C.P. 1990-08-18Hallowtree Scout Campsite, Ipswich (England) Shri Mataji: I said, “How?” They said, “See now, it’s a natural thing. Handmade”.  [Sahaja Yogis laughing]. “And the grass? Is God made or man-made?”  He said, “See we put the grass and do some [UNCLEAR]”.  [Laughter] I mean, I thought some birds would come and pick it up and make it into a nest for themselves. Or you might find in the night, if you put the hat to one side, there is a little bird right there – little, little birdies saying something. [Laughter]. See, this is – I mean, it sounds so idiotic to you but is done as a craze you see. And a craze is a good word to suggest. “This is a craze, you see”. It is madness. But they do it. And so our attention is ruined all the time, all the time. So we go to a higher level you see. We start an anti-culture business. “No, this is not good. This is not good”.  So, the other day, walking in America I was surprised. Most of them had their pants all torn, especially in this part. [UNCLEAR]. They were all torn. Such big, big openings. I was wondering what was the matter. And they were made, specially made – it’s called stonewash – and cut, cut like that. Imagine. Worse than beggars.

Pre-Shri Krishna Puja Talk and 2nd Evening Talk Hallowtree Scout Campsite, Ipswich (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

Evening before Shri Krishna Puja. Ipswich (UK), 17 August 1990. On the day of Sri Krishna Puja, I’m going to tell you about Sri Krishna. But before that, we should know how the whole thing evolved from Sri Vishnu’s evolutionary process. So, as you know there were ten Avataras, ten incarnations of Sri Vishnu. Now Vishnu is the one which grows to be the Virat, to be the macrocosm as they call it, and this Vishnu principle is very well established within us. As a result of that only, we also seek and we seek money, power, love, families, children, all kinds of things we seek. That is only through- because of the Vishnu principle within us. But the biggest thing about the Vishnu principle is that it gave us evolution by which we evolve. Also, we evolved in the social structure, the political structure, the economic structure. We also evolved. India, I mean, I would say, India was once upon a time, you see, a slave country. Then democracy came in, and the English had to give up India, because they learned that if they have to make a majority rule in India, then there are more Indians than English. So they had to give up in any case. So, wisdom came over and they gave up, you see. So, what happens, that we learned gradually when we start facing the problems that we ourselves have created. When we start seeing what are the problems are, then we get Read More …

Canadadesha Public Program (Evening) Vancouver (Canada)

Public Program “Canadadesha”. Vancouver (Canada), 11 August 1990. Some people who cannot sit can come down here if they want, could be comfortable. Please. I think Sahaja Yogis should give them way. Please come, there’s lot of room here, on the stage please. I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset we have to understand that truth is what it is. We can not conceptualize it. We can not organize it and we can not know it at human awareness. If we had known that truth at human awareness there would have been no problem. There would have been no second opinion and there would have been no quarrel, no problems and we all would have been in the realm of peace and joy. But what we see today is that we are moving towards some sort of derailment and we do not know where we are going and what is the end of our civilization. These are modern times and special times where so many are aware of this kind of a destructive force working on us and suddenly they have become alerted and they want to know what is beyond it. What is the truth? As I have already stated that you can not know the truth at human awareness. Of course, whatever I am going to tell you, you have to keep an open mind about it. Like Scientist you must listen to Me as if it’s some sort of a hypotheses. But Read More …

Shri Mahasaraswati Puja: Vishnumaya a very fiery personality (Afternoon) Lions Bay, Ashram in Lions Bay (Canada)

Author4 Comments

Shri Mahasaraswati Puja. Vancouver (Canada), 11 August 1990. When they asked Me what puja we should have in Vancouver, I had heard about this ashram that it is placed in very beautiful surroundings of nature and, as nature is being created by the power of Saraswati, I thought best would be to have the Puja of Saraswati here. Another thing is that when people live in nature, they become extremely creative, their delicate feelings are preserved and they are never in a rush; or they are not what we can call too much modernized, because nature soothes them down. So also the creativity of Saraswati adds to artist, and I knew that there must have been many artist in this country created since long. The Canada as such I feel is the Hamsa Chakra of the Vishuddhi, but the power of Saraswati becomes Mahasaraswati when it is manifested by the Mahabrahmadeva which is called as Hiranyagarbha. For that She has to cross through the Hamsa. She crosses through Hamsa and becomes the Vishnumaya Shakti. I mean She is the Vishnumaya Shakti. So Saraswati becomes the Vishnumaya. She crosses at two points – one at Hamsa and another at Vishuddhi – so She is the Sister of Shri Krishna. So Saraswati was born as the Sister of Shri Krishna, and when Krishna’s mama name whose was, uncle was Kamsa, he came to kill Her, She just rose into the sky and became the lightning, and She declared the coming of Shri Read More …

Raksha Bandhan and Shri Ganesha Puja Dr. Vinod Worlikar's House, Cerritos (United States)

AuthorLeave a comment

Raksha Bandhan. Los Angeles (USA), 7 August 1990. So, this day is extremely important in a way for Sahaja Yogis to observe and I’m happy that I am here because it’s very important also for America. As I told you that, I have already talked to you how the war between Alexander and Poros was finished because of a sister’s intervention. And also how Shri Krishna whose sister was Draupadi, Vishnumaya was born as Draupadi and how He came to save Her chastity by rushing all the way from Dwarika. So, you can see that when we ascend in the collective consciousness and we have collective living, collective meeting at the Vishuddhi Chakra, Shri Krishna establish this, or He manifested this pure relationship of a sister. In a collective life that we have, in the Ashram where we live, where we move about as Sahaja Yogis, if we do not have this basic principle within us, there will be a chaos, complete chaos. Once this purity of relationship is established, that apart from my wife, all the rest are my sisters or mothers, it cannot be a proper society and the chaos of the social system of America is because they have no sense of pure relationships. Once you call somebody a sister, she’s a sister. And once you call somebody a brother, she’s (FYI -Mother does say She’s – we double checked) a brother. It’s not only that you should be born of the same parents, it’s not necessary, Read More …

Translator: Just a few words about your life, your teaching, then they will ask the questions. Shri Mataji: All right. I bow to all the seekers of truth. Yesterday, in the hall I felt that in Bulgaria there are people who are very depressed about life. I think I’ve come here at the right time, when you have got your freedom, to tell you that only political freedom is not enough. So far I visited many countries who are supposed to be free. Sitting down here you should not think that all the roads are paved with gold. There are dominations of a different kind in those countries. The first is racialism. For example the English came to India and ruled us for 300 years. And they plundered us absolutely and they tortured us. My father was in jail, My mother was in jail, they took away all our properties, everything. And now, when there are people from India who had to go to there because they had West British passports they treat us like emigrants and trouble them a lot, while in India we have more Britishers settled down then in English land the Indians. Even in America there’s such a lot of racialism. And recently there was a Mayor of Washington who was implicated into a drug case, because he was black, that’s all. Read More …

Public Program Day 2 [NOTE – 26.53-lectures starts followed by bhajan] Yesterday I told you that we cannot know the truth at our human awareness. You have to become the spirit. You become the spirit. You are in contact with the all pervading power of love. And then only you can know the absolute truth. This is the power of God’s love. We have not used the power of love before. We have only used the power of hatred. Now there are so many seekers of truth in this world. In the beginning in the ancient times there were very few. Once you all get your self realization this energy of power of lover will start flowing through you. It will nourish you, it will cure you and take you beyond all mental ideas about reality. This power is within you which is called as kundalini in triangular bone. It is in the sacrum bone that means the Greeks knew that it is sacred bone. This power all of you have got. It is the germinating power within us. And when it is awakened it passes through six subtle centres and pierces through your fontanelle bone area. Though the seed of the spirit is fontanelle bone area, spirit itself resides in your heart. All this mechanism is within you. You are already built in that way. Like a small seed, all the maps of all the trees, you have this power within you. Though it is a living process, process Read More …

Public Program Day 1. Sofia (Bulgaria), 24 July 1990. I bow to all the seekers of truth. We have to know that truth is what it is. We cannot organize it, we cannot conceptualize it and we cannot know it with our human awareness. All this growth outside of our civilization is like a big tree but we have to know our roots how to be found out and they are within the human being. Whatever you have been told about the roots within ourselves, has to be understood with an open mind and if it works then you have to accept it as the truth, as honest people. Now the truth is that there is the All Pervading Power of Love, which is a certain pure power, which we have never felt before. But the time has come now, that we can feel that All Pervading Power. Second truth is that you are not this body, you are not this mind, you are not your conditionings but you are pure Spirit. When you become the Spirit you can experience the All Pervading Power of Love, as cool breeze on your fingertips. These are special times when there are so many seekers of truth. I call it as a “blossom time”, where many flowers have to become the fruits. Unless and until we know the absolute truth, there will be many opinions and many ideologies and everyone thinking that they are the best and the correct. That’s why there are Read More …

Public Program, Budapest, Hungary, 23-07-1990 I bow to all the seekers of truth. As I have told you yesterday, truth is what it is. Truth is what it is. We cannot organise it. And we cannot conceptualise it. And also at a human awareness we cannot feel it. In the evolutionary process, we have come from Amoeba to the state. But still what we find is the chaos. So many opinions, ideologies and so many identified with that. So the absolute truth has to be won. In this evolutionary process whatever we have been. Is expressed on our central nervous system. For example, if you take a dog or a horse into a dirty place, they do not feel the dirt. But a human being can feel that it is dirty, that it is filthy and smelly. That shows that human beings are a aware. That their awareness has a vital dimension. It is not a mental projection. It is not any imagination. It is the reality that you can feel on your central nervous system. For that, something has to happen for this last breakthrough of our evolution. So we manifest the new dimension of our awareness which I told you yesterday was corrective consciousness. That means on our central nervous system that is on the tips of our fingers we should feel this all-pervading power. And that we should feel our own subtle centres as well as the subtle centres of others. This happening takes place spontaneously. Because Read More …

Public Program, 1990-07-22 I bow to all the seekers of truth.I think they didn’t hear.At the very outset, we have to know that truth is what it is. We cannot change it, we cannot organize it and we cannot describe it. Also, we cannot know it at human level, with human awareness. All the civilization and all the growth is like the growth of a tree. But we have to know about our roots. And these roots are placed within ourselves. Unless and until we don’t know our roots this tree can be completely destroyed. But to know the roots we have to be a subtler being.Now whatever we are telling you here is to be listened to like a scientist, with a scientific mind. With an open mind, like a hypothesis and if it is proved, then as honest people we have to accept it. Because it is for our benevolence. As we see around what we find that people who are at the helm of affairs are all quite confused. These so-called countries which have been free for all these years are getting destroyed from within. They have diseases, they have habits. They do not know how to get rid of them. They have problems, ecological problems, other so many social problems. And things are going from bad to worse.Now as Hungary has taken to freedom you must first of all witness the pros and cons and should know the absolute truth. The truth is that you are Read More …

For that you have to become a subtler being. To know the Truth, you have to become a subtler being. For all these there is a mechanism within you which works it out. It is sahaj means is spontaneous. And also, every human being has a right to get the yoga means the union with this all-pervading power of God. Of course, you cannot pay for it. Like the Mother Earth has the built-in quality it her to sprout a seed which has built-in sprouting quality.
