How does the awaking of the kundalini cure the diseases? Sala Kongresowa, Warsaw (Poland)
Public Program, Day 2, Sala Kongresowa, Warsaw, (Poland), July 14th, 1990 I bow to all the seekers of truth. Truth is what it is and we can not change it. But we have to feel it In our evolutionary process whatever we have achieved we can feel it we can see it. Now, whatever he has told you about the centres that are within us, the subtle centres, the seven centres, are not to be believed blindly. But as I requested yesterday, that you have to keep your mind opened as scientists tell, then you see for yourself the hypothesis which are putting before you is proved or not. And if it is proved, you have to accept it as honest people. Because this is for our benevolence and for the emancipation of the whole human race. We believe that if we have political freedom, we have to become free. Still we are slaves of so many things. If you see the so-called developed countries, they are much more under the domination of their entrepreneurs than in countries which are not so developed. Because of their so-called freedom, they have landed themselves into different kinds of problems diseases like AIDS, drugs and violence. It seems that human beings don’t know how to use their money, their power and their freedom. Also, we do not know the absolute truth. Everybody has a different opinion about everything. Everybody has their own ideologies and everybody thinks, “We are the best”. If truth is Read More …
Guru Puja: Detachment, Silence, Faith Avignon (France)
Guru puja. Avignon (France), 8 July 1990. In Sahaja Yoga the Guru puja has a very different significance from any other guru puja. When you worship your Guru you are also worshiping the Guru within you. This is not in any other guru-disciple system because, in you, the Guru, the Master has been awakened. And so, when you are worshipping your Guru, then this Master within you is also worshipped, you respect it, you glorify it, you awaken it, and you manifest it. This we have to realise that – in Sahaja Yoga – if you are a Sahaja Yogi. Now, the quality of Guru, first and foremost, is that he makes you meet God: means he raises the Kundalini and establish the relation between the All-pervading Power. And as your Guru is Adi Shakti, you make that person meet, also, the Adi Shakti. So you have a double advantage that, at the same time, when you give them Realisation, not only that you make them feel the union with the Divine Power, but you can make them meet the Divinity Itself, the source of Divine Power. So your responsibility, as Sahaja Yogis, is very great because in you is there is the Guru. Now in our mantras we say that, “Mother, I am my own Guru.” But, saying that, do we realise that: if I am my own Guru, this “I” and “my Guru,” between the two, what have I achieved? Where am I? Can I guide myself? Have Read More …
Evening Program, eve of Guru Puja Camping Parc des Libertés, Avignon (France)
Musical program, camping “parc des Libertés”, on the island of Barthelasse, Avignon, France, 07-07-1990 Shri Mataji: Give her a chair. Give her a chair otherwise she won’t be able to play harmonium. Ah, [Hindi] Can you keep it up there? Ah. On that. [Hindi] You can move that. Come on. Have a sit there. Sahaja Yogi: We would like to present you with a “Bharood” [Marathi religious song] by Sant Eknath. It’s a song that, in a style that is designed to teach people what will happen to them if they don’t behave in a, in the correct way. In this particular song, Sant Eknath is talking about what happens to people if they’re not if they trick people badly. If they are, if they are rude to them if they cheat them. Sant Eknath gives example in particular of Duryodhana who took Draupadi and humiliated her in his court and it was eventually his brother, the brother of Duryodhana drag Draupadi into the court to be humiliated. And was eventually punished by Bhishma, punished by Bhishma in a dual. In the same way, Ravana who kidnapped Shri Sita was duly punished by Shri Rama. And so on in many cases. In reality, there are only four people that Sant Eknath mentions who are free from any kind of problem in his regard. For example, Bhishma and Hanumana those two are examples. Sant Eknath concludes the song inviting us to be sweet with each other and not to abuse each Read More …
Medical Conference Moscow (Russia)
Doctor’s Conference, 2 July 1990 – Moscow (Russia) I bow to all the seekers of truth. In the medical studies whatever we have discovered so far is there already available. And whatever we can discover with human awareness has its own limitations. Supposing it is said that the human body does not accept any foreign thing into its being, but when the foetus is implanted, then it is looked after, it’s not thrown out, it’s looked after and thrown out at the right time. Also the role of acetylcholine and adrenaline in our body, its mode of action cannot be explained because sometimes they augment, sometimes they relax. We cannot even explain the action of our spleen; there are so many things that cannot be explained through medical achievements. So we have to know there is much to be known and much to be found out. So I would like you all to know something of the beyond which is not known so far. And for you I would request to have an open mind of a scientist to see for youself if it is true or not. Till then it’s like a hypothesis. So Sahaja Yoga gives you the complete picture, total picture, of the totality of consciousness. And as you grow higher and higher in Sahaja Yoga you yourself understand and can work out this great system. First we have to accept that we are not only this human body, nor our emotions, and neither our ego and Read More …
Interview about Sickness Meli Ashram, Vienna (Austria)
[Interview] Interviewer: And one question still please, is sickness. For me, it is very difficult to understand, what is the sense of sickness for one who.. I don’t know, what’s the reason, that… and how it can be healed with Kundalini. Shri Mataji: You see, sickness comes to you as I told you, through our centers getting exhausted. As this is one center, all right, on the left side, left sympathetic, and right sympathetic, and they join together, this is the center. So, we are using the energy of this center, that is limited, for our purpose, anything. Supposing, I’ll give you an example of – a very good example – of one’s Swadishthan chakra. It’s the second center, which looks after the aortic plexus – in the medical terminology. But it’s not complete, I mean it’s one of the parts. Now the work of the Swadishthan chakra, according to Sahaja Yoga, which has worked of course wonders with this theory, that it gives energy for the replacement of the brain cells. Because we never think about it. We are using the brain all the time we don’t think, how it is replaced, even within the medical science, they don’t think about it. So one of the work it has got, it moves here. And also it has to look after your liver, it has to look after your pancreas, it has to look after spleen, it has to look after your kidneys, it has to also look after the Read More …
The roots are within ourselves Ukraina Palace, Kyiv (Ukraine)
Public Program, Kiev, Ukraine, 1990-0629 I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset, we have to understand that at human awareness we cannot feel the truth. We have to become a subtler being to understand the absolute truth. Without that everything is just the mental projection and which takes us to extremes. Hence we get lost. But somehow if we come to know about the absolute truth, there will be no argument, there will be no quarrel, there will be no war. Now, the truth is that we are not this body, not his mind, not this intellect, nor these emotions or our conditionings or ego. But we pure spirit. And there is another truth that there exists a very subtle dynamic power which does all the living work. Every living work is done by that power. We cannot do any living work. Supposing a tree is dead then we make a ?? and we think that we have done a great work. But, this is a just a transformation from one dead to another dead. But it is not any real transformation. Leave alone, even we cannot create a grain of dust by ourselves. So whatever we are today is also very limited. We have so many physical, emotional, mental problems. We have no balance in our own behaviour. We started with science created atom bombs to destroy ourselves. We started with psychology created persons like Freud to get AIDS and all this horrible diseases. Read More …
Talk to Scientists Leningrad (Russia)
“Talk To Scientists,” Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), (Russia) …one electromagnetic energy that you have, what we call as a ‘prana’ – means all the energy from five elements. It has the energy by which we are today human beings from amoeba. And it has the energy which creates desires within us. It has the energy that can cure us and redeems us. And it has the energy that can give us powers so we can do living work. Sahaj Yoga is with that energy, which is in totality, complete consciousness. And it is a special time today, or you can say in modern times, that there are so many people who are trying to think beyond. We can say it is meta-modernism. And that is something which shows the wisdom of people who understand that we have to go beyond. And they are not satisfied with what they are but they have to go beyond. And there are so many who feel that their awareness is to be expanded. In this short time whatever was possible I have tried to give you a general picture about Sahaj Yoga. ‘Saha’ means ‘with’, and ‘ja’ is ‘born’. So it is born with you to have this union with that All-pervading Power, this right you have. It works on all living things, and also on energies. For example, you can improve your agriculture with Sahaj Yoga ten times more. You can improve your ecological problem through Sahaj Yog. You can make your animals Read More …
Feel the Cosmic Consciousness on your central nervous system Leningrad (Russia)
Feel The Cosmic Consciousness On Your Central Nervous System I bow to all the seekers of truth.At the very outset, we have to know that unless and until we know the absolute truth we cannot say what is good and what is bad for our benevolence. The truth is that you are at the human awareness. And at this level we cannot know the absolute truth. So we have to become the Spirit. To become the Spirit, is to become one with the absolute. Also, the knowledge of truth comes to us form the all-pervading power of love. This energy of love is a very subtle energy which looks after all the living work. For example, we see all these flowers here and we do not even think that these beautiful flowers have come out of a small little seed. We take all living work for granted. Because we cannot explain how it has worked out. Also at human level we cannot do any living work. Something that is dead like a tree, you can make a table and we think no end of our selves. Now from dead to dead we just transform the shapes [unclear]. Because we are not directly connected with the living power we cannot do any living work. All the problems of the world are because we are in ignorance and we have no light of the Spirit and between this all-pervading power. Now you are all sitting here supposing all the lights go off Read More …
Interview Moscow (Russia)
Interview, Moscow Russia 1990-06-26 Shri Mataji:..All right. And the brain you see, was damaged I think by seeing this film of this man. Shri Mataji: They told me so. Interviewer: This [there] anyway the people can find themselves, they will not be turned by storm of light from one side to another side of the river called life? And can we give to person the truth? Shri Mataji: Of course, why not. They are the best Russians, are the best people for this. And she thinks but the problems are not so much as they are otherwise but they are very aware. Interviewer: I would like to ask you, we live in a very difficult time in Soviet Union and what do you think our society is very thick or it has any chance to become cured? Shri Mataji: It is the best society I have ever seen. Because perhaps of the difficulties they think they are more anxious to get to truth. And if they, when they are blessed by spiritual power they will be the strongest nation in the whole world. You are, you cannot be strong by what war weapons you have but you are strong by what powerful human beings you are. Because money can create problems, power can create problems and also these attractions for physical pleasures all are punishable and create problems. Interviewer:…From the point of view of [UNCLEAR] development we are at the lowest point and the point of being beggars. Shri Mataji: Read More …
What is the Reality? Moscow (Russia)
Public program, Moscow, Russia, 25-06-1990 I bow to you all who are seekers of Truth! (Shri Mataji bow to the audience with folded hands) But first of all, we have to know what is the truth. What is the Absolute? In our evolutionary process, we have got human awareness. We have also got the freedom to form our own ideas, mental ideas as to what the Truth is. But Truth cannot be known through human awareness. One has to become a subtler personality. All this knowledge that we have outside, has created a civilization which is like a big tree. But we have to find out about the roots which are going to nourish this civilization. if you do not know the absolute Truth you commit mistakes and any kind of ideas, any kind of mental projections, any kind of mental ideologies ultimately (unclear) because it has to be substantiated by reality. And what is the Reality? The reality is that you are not only this body, this mind, this intellect, this ego, or this conditioning but you are the pure Spirit. The another thing is that we take all living work for granted. For example, we take all these flowers for granted without finding out how a seed has become a flower. And also of different types. There are so many things in our body, physical body medically cannot be explained. One of them is that a human body always throws whatever is faulty. But when a child is Read More …
Shri Lakshmi Puja and Talk before puja Hydra, Stamatis Boudouris summer house (Greece)
Shri Lakshmi Puja. Hydra (Greece), 24 June 1990 . Today we are going to celebrate the Puja of Lakshmi And I’ve already told you that Lakshmi came out of the sea. And Greece is the Nabhi of the universe. And whatever Lakshmi they have got, wealth, they have got it out of the sea faring activities there. So it is very apt that we should worship Lakshmi in Greece and understand what is the significance of Lakshmi is. Can you hear me there, all of you? Now I’ve described many a time, but, again I will describe it to you. Lakshmi is the one who is a Mother by nature. So a person who has Lakshmi, a person who has got wealth must have a motherly benevolent temperament; that’s one thing. Then another thing is that She stands on the lotus in the water. So a person who has got Lakshmi must have a balance. If he moves this side or that side, left or right side he immediately goes inside the bhavasagar. Secondly, Her one hand is giving and another hand there is protection like this. So, at least a person who has got Lakshmi money should be generous, he should be giving and right hand should protect all the people who are working under him or who are related to him, his relations or other things or any other organizations or anything that he is connected with he should try to patronize and protect it from all kinds Read More …

Talk to Sahaja Yogis (Greece)
Talk to Sahaja Yogis, Greece, 23-06-1990 Shri Mataji: May God bless you. Tomorrow again my tour starts. A very nice rest here. So I am here again, going on my tour. [UNCLEAR] was such a nice relief to come here and rest and enjoy your company. May God bless you all. But you all have to now move out to other countries and try to see that you establish Sahaja Yoga properly. Be kind to them, be nice to them and also there are a positions from other people, no doubt. You have to be very patient with them and try to tell them that you haven’t found anything so far, why don’t you find out what is the truth. Why don’t you find it out? If you are kind to them they might accept your invitation so I hope all of you will take it, responsibly as such to go down and help people. And especially women I think because they are much more free than men are. Men are working. Those who are free can go down and really spread Sahaja Yoga. In any case I’m going back from Ganesha Puja which I hope this time you will have all your acquired reading, all your music readiness, everything in a big way. And you are very good puja at Ganesha Puja this time. I feel one thing about Sahaja Yogis that there are some Sahaja Yogis who are very active and I find some Sahaja Yogis only come Read More …
See the quality of the disciples of the gurus first Athens (Greece)
H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, 1990-0621 Public Program Day 2, Athens, Greece. I bow to all the Seekers of Truth. Yesterday I told you what is the truth is. Truth is that you are the spirit and that there is an All Pervading Power, which does all the living work and looks after you also. Now the questions are some of the them are sensible, I’m happy that they are asking Me questions, which means that you have all the freedom to ask questions, there’s no mesmerism going on. The first question is about how to make out a false guru. First thing, I must say that that is a false guru will not give you all the freedom to ask questions, so you can’t object anymore. A guru who does not give you any freedom to ask questions, is not good. But you have to know that you cannot pay for the truth. For example, I can see with My eye that there is a carpet lying here. You know that. I don’t have to pay. I have got My eyes. In the same way, to know the truth, you cannot pay any money. The second point is that you must see what is the quality of the disciples of the gurus first. When you go to a shop, you want to buy something, first you find out from those who have bought, what do they have to say about it. You’ll be surprised, that none of these so Read More …
It is very important to understand what problems we are facing Athens (Greece)
Public Program Day 1, Greece, 1990-06-20 [introduction in Greek][Shri Mataji speaks from minute 3:53] I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset we have to know that truth is what it is and we cannot treat nor can we understand it through this human awareness. But what is the truth? The truth is we are not this body, we are not these emotions, we are not this intellect, we are not our conditioning or our ego but we are pure Spirit. And the second things is that there is a very subtle power which is called as the All-Pervading Power of Divine Love which looks after all the living work. We see these beautiful flowers but we take them for granted, we don’t think how they are created so beautifully. All the religions have said one thing: is to seek the eternal and the [UNCLEAR] is to be treated with its own understanding and limitations but all the religions have deviated from this path of seeking the eternal. You are already told about this mechanism that exists within you for which you have to keep your minds open like scientists and if it works then you have to accept it as the truth. Today I think it is very important to understand what problems we are facing. We are not aware as to what problems are propping us. Now the problem of war is particularly [UNCLEAR] but the problem that is going to destroy us is Read More …
The giver of the absolute truth is the Spirit Vienna (Austria)
Public Program Day 2. Vienna (Austria), 19 June 1990. I bow to all the seekers of truth. Yesterday I told you that we have to know the absolute truth. Absolute truth is the truth which cannot be challenged and cannot have a second opinion. But the giver of this absolute truth is the Spirit. The Spirit resides in your heart. Before Realization your Spirit is a witness of what you are doing. But after Realization the energy of Kundalini ignites the flame of Spirit in such a manner that your attention gets enlightened. So the Spirit is the source of light. Not this light that burns, but the light that soothes. The Spirit is the collective being within us. It is like a reflection of the Sun in different places, specially in the lakes where you can see it clearly, the God Almighty is reflected in all of us. He is reflected in everything that is being created. But the reflectors are very poor, some of them are just like stones. Only in a saint reflection of God is clear, because it is the reflection of one God Almighty, it is in everybody and so it is the collective being. So after Realization you can feel another person on your fingertips and you can feel yourself also on your fingertips. You can ask any question, like a computer the answer comes, yes or no, by means of vibrations. Once you are realized, once you are connected with the Divine power Read More …
Adi Kundalini Puja: The Advent Of Primordial Kundalini Moedling (Austria)
Shri Adi Kundalini puja. Mödling (Austria), 19 June 1990. Today we have assembled here to do the Kundalini Puja. Once we had done it in India long, long time back and this is the first time we are doing this puja here in Austria. This is the puja of the Adi Kundalini, is the Primordial Kundalini. [speaks aside] You must have seen in the hand of Athena, who is the Primordial Mother, there is a power which is a snake in the left hand. [speaks aside] And the Primordial Mother has one of Her powers, which we can say, as the Primordial Kundalini, is a part of Her. Of course, She’s beyond that, but She is reflected in human being as the Kundalini. Now one has to know that to create an incarnation, lot of work has gone into. So many things had to be envisaged. One had to have the vision that, when a human being is created, how an incarnation can help him. At different levels, we had incarnations on this Earth and they were sent with a particular idea that they should achieve a particular type of ascent in that particular time. They were all part and parcel of the Primordial Mother and they all had a very powerful Kundalini built within them. But the incarnation of this Kali Yuga is very complicated. First it had to be worked out what will be the situation in which this incarnation would be born and what sort of encounters Read More …
A subtler consciousness Vienna (Austria)
Public Program. Vienna (Austria), 18 June 1990. I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the outset we should know that truth is what it is and we cannot change it, we cannot organize it. And the truth cannot be known only at the human awareness. It requires a subtler consciousness to know the truth. So what is the truth? The truth is that you are not this body and you are not your mind, you are not these emotions. Nor you are your conditionings or your ego. You are pure Spirit. And the second truth is that all the living work is done by a subtle power which is called as Paramchaitanya in Sanskrit language. Or we can say by the All pervading power of Divine Love. We take all living work for granted. We see these beautiful flowers that have come out of very small seeds, I mean, we never even think how this work has taken place. Then we see such a balance in the nature. A apple tree grows up to a height, a rosebush grows up to a height – who controls it? So when we try to think about it, we reach a point that we do not know everything. Also we do not know the absolute truth. Truth has to be one, but there are so many opinions, so many ideologies, so many religions, so many quarrels. Why should there be any quarrels if they are based on truth? So whatever I Read More …
Shri Mahavira Puja: Touch Your Depth Barcelona (Spain)
Shri Mahavira Puja, Barcelona (Spain), June 17th, 1990. Today we have gathered here to do the puja of Shri Mahavira. [Interruption for technical problems] Today we are going to do the puja of Mahavira and we never had this puja before. The reason for this was that Mahavira’s life was an ascetic’s life, just like Buddha: even more than Buddha it would be. Because at the time when these two were born, the Brahminism of the Hinduism had taken a very funny form. People had become extremely ritualistic and they were worshipping all kinds of stones and all kinds of things instead of worshipping only the swayambhu. Shri Mataji, [apart]: Who is that fellow eating food at the time [of puja]? There is a gentleman who is eating food at the time of this thing, please tell him. The ascetic life of Mahavira was of a very, very extreme nature. He was the one who was born in a clan of warriors, kshatriyas, and then He was also married. Also, He had a daughter and then He decided — because He knew He had to do the work of the Divine — He decided to take a sanyasa. So, He took the permission of his brother, because his parents were dead. He was a king, so He gave up all his material wealth, everything, and He became a complete sanyasi. And He left his family, left his house, everything, behind and went alone with a little bowl for begging alms. And the Read More …
A divine computer Barcelona (Spain)
1990-06-16 Public Program Day 2 in Barcelona, Spain Shri Mataji: I bow to all the seekers of truth. Yesterday so many of you have felt the cool breeze, on the fingertips around your yourself. So one has to know that your spirit has come with your attention & has enlightened your attention. They are placed in your central nervous system now, you can feel these cool breeze. This cool breeze is the all-pervading power. It is the subtle power and you can only feel it when you get your connection with it. That is your spirit has to be brought into your central nervous system. I mean …your attention. Before realization, the spirit exists in the heart and watches every moment of your being. It allows you to do whatever you like. You want to do anything wrong also, you can do it and if you want to do anything good, you can do it. But once this light comes into you then you start seeing what is wrong and what is right. That is why the saints, they[ 10:53 unclear]were anything that was wrong. Now that, this light has come with your [unclear/attention ] and you can feel the all-pervading power, but this power [not so sure about this word/ thinks ]…It understands and it loves you! And When it starts going through you it becomes just like a divine computer. Now if you want to find out, What is the truth …You have to just stretch your hand Read More …

Evening was in Pichini’s Rome ashram, just a few months before moving to the new ashram in Magliano Sabina in 1990
We have come from amoeba state not to be lost Barcelona (Spain)
Public program, day 1,Barcelona ,Spain 15-06-1990 [Introduction in Spanish and singing until min. 13:20] I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset we have to know that absolute truth is what it is. We cannot change it, we cannot organize it and we cannot sell it. And also we cannot know it through the human awareness. You have to become a subtler being. If I talk about the flowers and you think about the flowers you cannot get to the honey. When I talk about the honey still you cannot get the honey. You have to become a bee to get the honey. So you have to become the Spirit to know the Divine. We have come from amoeba state not to be lost, not to be destroyed. But what is happening today? I would like to tell you that we are sitting on a volcano of destruction. We have no idea as to how we are going to be destroyed from inside ourselves, not from outside. If you go to America which is supposed to be a very developed and affluent country, you feel shocked the way diseases have spread into that country. First time I went to America in the year 1973 and I told them about the disease called AIDS that it will be coming but they laughed at me. Then I told them all about all the false gurus, “who are making money out of you, befooling you.” They were very pretentious Read More …
Public Program Milan (Italy)
Baba Mama: Since music has no barriers, it has no nationality, it has no caste, Unclear(), religion. Neither can it be stopped by any nationality, neither can it be stopped by any boundaries or bullets or war heads. Music is universal and that’s why we have a conviction that this is made by the Divine. Is it the product of the divinity. It has one barrier though and that is a closed heart. Music has a direct nexus with the heart. It has nothing to do with your perception or understanding but it has to only pour its richness, its gravity, its melody into your heart. Our purpose here is to see that our music pours into your heart. Therefore it is my Unclear(Ernst) desire that please sit with all your open hearts which I am sure you are here for. Indian music, like the western music has twelve notes. It has C and C sharp, G and A and B and all that. But the Indian music has certain disciplines put in the system of presentation. Therefore, the creativity in music is discipline and is extremely pleasing to the ear, to the listening ear and very very compatible where the rhythm of heart has concerned. It is after many years of research that has gone into developing this Indian music to find out to what will recreate the man’s and what will give him the required mood for listening to this beautiful creative music. We are sure that we Read More …
Collective Benevolence New York City (United States)
Public Program. New York (USA), 7 June 1990. (Q&A transcript missing) I bow to all the seekers of Truth. At the very outset, I have to say that Truth is what it is. And we cannot change it, we cannot purchase it, we cannot transform it; also, we cannot know it only at a human level. You have to be something more to know the Truth, and the Truth is that: we are not this body, we are not this intellect, we are not our conditionings, our emotions, we are not our ego, but we are Pure Spirit. Another Truth is that there is an All-Pervading Power of God all around us which does all the living work. For example, we see these flowers, we take them for granted but see, from a very simple seed how these flowers have come up, and how we, from amoeba stage, have come to this stage. We don’t think about it. We just take it for granted. So, it is very important, first, to understand that we do not know everything, that we do not know the Absolute Truth. If we all had known the Absolute Truth, there would not have been so many religions, so many problems, and so many opinions. So, something has to be done for us to be the Absolute. As it is, we have become human beings without putting any effort, effortlessly, because it is a living process of evolution. And the same living process of evolution is Read More …
Conference and workshop at UN United Nations Headquarters, New York City (United States)
Public Program and Workshop. United Nations, New York (USA), 6 June 1990. I bow to you all, for you are the seekers of truth. When we talk of trutht we must understand at the very outset that Truth is what it is. We cannot mould it with our human awareness, we cannot organize it and we cannot change it at all. So, what is the truth? The truth is that we are not this body, this intellect, these emotions, this ego, the conditionings, but we are the Spirit. And the second truth is that there is a subtle All-pervading divine Power which is doing all the living work. For example, we see the flowers and we take them for granted. Mohamed Saab [unsure] has said that, “If you just watch your eyes, you’d be surprised what a camera it is. All living things we take for granted and we do not inquire as to how these things are worked out and how all these living processes are going on around. Now we have supposedly come from the amoeba stage to this stage. How have we come? We did not do anything and how is it we have become human beings and why have we become human beings? When I first saw the mandate of the United Nations, when my husband was elected, I was very happy that what it was saying was exactly what we have to do, is to become collective in a way, to have collective benevolence. But Read More …
Swadishthana chakra and what happens when you think too much? Miami (United States)
1990-06-04 Public Program 2 in Miami [Introduction by Gregoire – Shri Mataji is an incarnation] Gregoire: So, Shri Mataji, I don’t quite know what I did today, or this evening. And I don’t quite know whether they know what I did, but basically, I asked them to put their hands toward your picture and to ask, and we all asked aloud three times: Shri Mataji is this the wind of the Holy Spirit? And then, most of them, I just asked those who feel the vibration, or those who feel the wind, please raise your hands. Some people are here for the first time. But most of the people who are here raised their hand and felt the vibration. Then I talked a little bit because I didn’t want them to become too scared or serious. Then I asked another question, or I asked them to ask another question. I asked them Shri Mataji are you manifesting the Holy Spirit? And then we asked this question three times. And, again, most of them felt the vibration. And a gentleman told me that he felt a cold wind. And then I did something that probably I shouldn’t have done, but, I told them that, the following thing, I told them that it’s very difficult to recognize a living incarnation, or someone who is divine in the present. It’s easy to do it once they are gone and dead. So, incarnations were never recognized. But, now we have a new instrument of Read More …
How to get the connection with the Divine power Miami (United States)
Public Program Day 1. Miami (USA), 3 June 1990. At the very outset, we have to know what we are seeking. We are seeking the truth. But what is the truth? The truth is that we are not this body, we are not these emotions, this intellect, this ego, these conditionings, but we are the Spirit, the Pure Spirit. This is one truth about ourselves. The second one is that we are, can you hear Me there, can you hear, can’t? All right? We are. Now better? Connection has to be there. [Shri Matji laughs]. There is a subtle power which is described as the all-pervading Power of God’s love, as Paramachaitanya, as Udrang, as, so many other words have been used for this power, which does all the living work. Like we see the flowers so beautiful as they are but we take them for granted. We don’t see how they have come from a little seed, how they are blossoming in these different colors. All this living work we take for granted. We have also taken our evolution for granted and everything that autonomous nervous system does we have taken for granted, it’s a good thing in a way because it’s too much of a worry and botheration if you start thinking why of everything. But there is a power, which does all these things. Now when I’m talking to you, you are not to believe Me blind folded, it’s not for blind people. But, like scientists you Read More …
The Mother God Cafe del Rey Moro Balboa Park, San Diego (United States)
Public Program Day 2. San Diego (USA), 31 May 1990. I bow to all the seekers of Truth.As you are seekers of Truth whatever one may tell, you should not accept it, to begin with. People can claim anything but that doesn’t mean that you must believe into it.But one must know that truth is what it is; we cannot organize it, we cannot maneuver it, we can not create it: it is, it was and it will be. And I told you yesterday what is the truth and the truth is that you are the Spirit. You are not this body, you are not these conditionings, your ego, your emotions: you are the Spirit. This is one thing.And then there is a subtle power, living power, power of God’s Love, that does all the living work, all the evolutionary work, all the creation and all the comforting and joyous things, which we do not feel, about which people have talked in every scripture. Like in the Bible they say the All Pervading Power of God; or in Koran they call it gudran [Rooh or al-Qudus]. In Sanskrit language it is called as Param Chaitanya. In every religion, in every scripture, which is sensible, it’s written about it.So, the first thing one has to do is to feel that power. Unless and until you can feel that power, you cannot understand any religion nor the people who came as incarnations or as prophets or as saints. And that is the Read More …
Becoming a superior personality Spreckels Organ Pavilion, San Diego (United States)
1990-0530 Public Program Day 1, San Diego, USA I have been coming to San Diego since long. The first time I remember when I came here, it was in the year 1972 and for 9 Years I did not come here. I felt that the name of the place means that this is the city of God – Diego means God. But that time people were involved into things which were not reality at all and I thought that let them pass through this circle, otherwise they won’t come to reality and for 9 Years I didn’t come to America. The human problem is on one side that we are seeking something and we are realizing that we have not found the reality, that’s a fact, so we try every sort of thing. We try because we are seeking something. But what are we seeking? What is the Truth? People may say this is the truth, that is the truth and also you will find people identified with wrong things, identified with destructive things and they stick onto it. So, first of all, we have to know what is the Truth. When we talk of Truth, they should really tell us what is the Truth. The Truth is that you are a Spirit. You are not this body, you are not this mind, you are not your imagination or your emotions but you are the Spirit because you always say, “mythoughts, my emotions, my ego.” You never say, “I, the Read More …
“Divine Discretion”, Hamsa Chakra Puja & Arrival YMCA - Camp Marston, San Diego (United States)
“Divine discretion,” Hamsa Chakra Puja, Camp Marston, San Diego (USA), 28 May 1990. It’s another great pleasure to come to America to meet you all people here. This one, as I’ve told you, is a very important country in the field of spirituality. Not because it’s a large country or because it is very prosperous but because, as you know, it is the Vishuddhi in the plan of Virat. Vishuddhi is such an important chakra. It has a very great manifestation also. For example it has another subsidiary chakra, which we call as Hamsa Chakra. And the star which is influencing this centre – or the star that resides, on which this centre is working – is Saturn. And, as you know with Saturn there is another small little Saturn moving. In the same way, with this Vishuddhi Chakra, there’s another one which is a very important chakra, which we call as Hamsa Chakra. We have had a puja of Hamsa Chakra in Germany once, and it has acted, I think; because Germans have realised that whatever they have done so far was absolutely inhuman. And I was so happy to see that, when I went to Russia, the people who came to give them Realisation were mostly Germans. It really makes you feel so tender about the whole thing that the Germans felt it is important – I mean, they were the ones who were attracted – to come to Russia to give Realisation to Russians; and you must Read More …
Shri Buddha Puja: You must learn how to bear the freedom Leningrad (Russia)
Shri Buddha Puja, May 14th, 1990, St Peterburg, Russia As you know Sahaja Yoga is not an organised or that kind of an organisation. Because it’s a living process and all those who come to Sahaja Yoga like they have come to some Holy river [alleviate] purify and then become sahaja yogis. So one should be very careful as not to be irresponsible about oneself first of all and about the collective. We have [ ] there is no power or no tradition or place to during Sahaja Yoga. But in every country we have to appoint somebody as the leader and that leader is in contact with Me directly. Because I can not talk to everyone of you directly we have this method but if the leaders also are found to be not true or something wrong they can be changed but normally we don’t. Normally the leadership can not be challenged. Normally. Last year we had to remove the leader of Australia, he had to completely go out of Sahaja Yoga. You see, we had to get some other leader first, if it does not work out, then we have to also remove the so-called leader. So this leader had created a very big problem for Me and it was really very difficult I had to work for one month completely to again put them back. Also we removed so many sahaja yogis who we found to be against some leaders or who were troubling the leaders, when Read More …

Mother’s Day Celebration, Short talk on creativity and Shri Mataji playing harmonium Rome Ashram - Nirmala House, Rome (Italy)
1990-05-10 Mother’s day at Nirmala House: Creativity (21.59) Today is mother’s day and I think this country has tremendous respect for mothers and mothers are also very loving in this country. It is very fortunate to be here on such a day, as Mother’s Day. Today we went out to see how Italy has become so creative and the mother earth gives you the creativity. She gives you. You learn from her how beautiful things she has produced and you try to reproduce it. But if you are not aware of the beauty, it is such a pure thing around you, you cannot be a good artist. Then you take to vulgar things. Things which are very cheapish, which have no value. But people who have the feeling of oneness with the mother earth try to make things to express their joy, that they are feeling from the beauty she has created. In the same way, you are also so exuberant with love and affection. I haven’t done much for you, I don’t think so. You may think so. I don’t know. But only thing that really binds us is our love. Together. And this love is not blind love. So this love is the truth. This love is not only the truth, but is the knowledge. If you love somebody you know everything about the person. It is so deep and you know another person through your kundalini. It is so subtle that you get knowledge about another person. Read More …
Public Program Rome (Italy)
1990-0507 Public Program, Rome, Italy Please be seated. I bow to all the seekers of Truth. At a very outset we have to understand that Truth is what it is. We cannot organize it or imagine about it. But we have to unclear(treat) and knowing about your central nervous system. You can see clearly that I am very unclear() see with your eyes. but for an animal, he, what his understands is very limited quietly a human being has much greater sensitivity. To smell, taste, color everything. At human level we understand many things much more than animals but because of the evolutionary process. And this evolutionary process is a living process. It is not a process which is just a thought of imagined of but it is a living process. In the same way if we have to ascend, if we have to become a higher being, if we have to know the Truth, then this evolutionary process should give us that special status. At human level you cannot feel the Truth. People believe that this is the Truth, that is the Truth. Then there should be no fight, there should be no quarrel if its Absolute Truth. But like blind people holding an elephant is climbing differently people who believe that this is the Truth are doing the same thing. If this is the Truth, then universally everybody must accept it. And that is the reason we find that people are quarreling about things which is falsehood. So Read More …
Sahasrara Puja: You Have All Become Mahayogis Now Fiuggi (Italy)
Sahasrara Puja. Fiuggi (Italy), 6 May 1990. All these years I have been waiting for this day. We have now, on the twenty-first Sahasrara, so is a very important turning point. As you know that every twenty-first day we change our calendars as far as the horoscope is concerned. And so now is a new change has to come and you can see the announcement (thunder clap and laughter). A new understanding and awareness of a very new dimension. We have been so far been dealing with collective consciousness. We are collectively conscious. We have the idea that we are collectively conscious. Also we know we are part and parcel of the whole and that we all are sahaja yogis. We know about our chakras and our nadis very clearly, but perhaps we do not know about our powers, how many powers have developed in those twenty-one years within yourself. (loud thunder clap then laughter and applause) Last two months Italy was burning with fire. It was so very hot. And I had reports that they’re worried about a drought and they want rain to come in and now they think the time has passed away. But how it works, you see, because the All-pervading Power knows everything and the whole nature works for your benefit, for your programmes. At the right time things happen, as you have seen before. They are completely coordinated with our programmes. All the time they’re helping you. Whatever they have in themselves as powers, Read More …
Evening Program, eve of Sahasrara Puja Fiuggi (Italy)
Evening Program, eve of Sahasrara Puja, Fiuggi, Italy, 05-05-1990 [Talk at 03:30:26] I think all of them are great speakers, I get lost from words. As it is, I, you know that Indian music has something to do with the Spirit and also it has to do with your awareness. Say for example, when you start an Indian music …in any Raghas, first they pick up your foundations, how you… how you see, how it is going to be within yourself, say your Muladhara is built up, to begin with, so that you are settled down and then the infrastructure is built and then the whole thing, the permutations and combinations are being built up. But it is a kind of a movement of your awareness, which you’ll be noticed. That in the classical music, first you have a very slow movement to bring your attention …in a particular direction to settle you down and then gradually you find the awareness starts becoming alert, then it becomes dynamic, then it starts bubbling. The other way round are the things like drinking, wines, the other way round. See, it is first you are bubbling, you are happy. Then you start drinking the wines and all that, then you start more bubbling this thing and trying to, you feel that you are absolutely abundant and you are in a bad place mood. But gradually it settles down into a very morose ending till I don’t know how you come out of your Read More …
