Shri Lakshmi Puja: Sea is your grandfather Chalmala, Alibag (India)

Shri Lakshmi Puja. Alibag (India), 29 December 1991. Translation from Marathi To this Chalmaal village we have come many times, Mumbaikar also came many times, and many people from all over the world have come here many times. I’m glad to hear that the people stopped drinking alcohol. This is a big thing. There are two troubles in Konkan. One is that black magic is very common, as it is like an industry there, and it is now reduced. This is the blessing of Sahaja Yoga that black magic was stopped that time, and we should educate people about that. The second thing is drinking alcohol. This kind of thing was very common, because people don’t understand what to do in their free time. So they drink alcohol. They don’t understand how much damage is being done, how much money they are wasting due to their drinking habits. Mumbai people should put in an effort to spread Sahaja Yoga to different villages nearby. People are suffering very much due to these bad habits. If such people get Self-realization then they will give up their bad habits. Due to this black magic, Lakshmi and Lakshmi’s principles cannot be established. That’s why everyone has trouble with money. Nevertheless, nowadays I have heard that the situation is better, and people also are behaving well. This is the benefit of practicing Sahaja Yoga, and you should spread this everywhere. That helps to grow people in every aspect. Here the people are religious, they have Read More …

Talk at end of Music Night Alibag (India)

Talk at end of Music Night The Truth and Reality are like flowers surrounded by thorns. It’s not easy to accept the Truth- also very difficult to accept the Reality- before you smell the flower. And the flower is the Love, and the fragrance is the Joy. And that you could see the fragrance today. All the thorns have vanished, all the fear of Reality and Truth has vanished, and now the Reality, which is Truth, which is Love, which is Joy. May God bless you all. Tomorrow morning we have to go to Kalwa, where Rajesh Shah has invited you, and I’ve told him that some people may be staying till the seventh or so. He said, “That’s my pleasure. I will do my level best”. There’s one more thing, what Rajesh is, that he is the person who started Sahaja Yoga in the West, in a way, because he met Gregoire, and then Gregoire met somebody else. It went on like that. So it’s very sweet of him to have invited us there, at Kalwa, for a puja, and he’s arranged everything there for your stay. But he’s told Me already that you should not mind any inconvenience. But tomorrow he’s arranged a very beautiful music by a very famous lady called Kishori Amonkar. She’s a very great singer. She has one of the most melodious voices you could think of, but she’s a very egoistical person and very irritable. But when he told her My name, she Read More …

Talk During Music Night Alibag (India)

Talk During Music Night You are all becoming now poets. I think the hearts are opening and expression is great, and these kind of songs should put a lot of vigor and courage in all of you. I am very happy that all of you are opening your heart and singing such nice songs, and reflecting My desires. May God bless you. These songs are like Namadeva’s Jogawa which is absolute Sahaja Yoga, nothing else but Sahaja Yoga. Every word is Sahaja Yoga, and this has been sung in our villages, in Indian villages, specially in Maharashtra, for thousands of years now, and still they didn’t understand what it was meaning. They didn’t know; they were just singing it, and sort of hoping for the thing. Like also Gyaneshwara has written- twelfth century [ie 1200s] – a beautiful poem about Sahaja Yoga, very beautiful. It’s regarded as the masterpiece of his work, and that is being read and re-read, and people are hoping for it. I hope you know that song [MARATHI. SOUNDS LIKE “ATTA VISHWATMA KE TO SHAVE TO SHUNI DYAVE”; NO?]. In that song he says that, “The Soul of the Universe (Vishwatma), the Spirit of the Universe, should feel satisfied with my yagna I have done with the language, with the vani, with my writings. He should be happy what I have written, or She should be happy what I have written, and She should now give us- [MARATHI. SOUNDS LIKE, “TO SHONI DYAVE PASAIT”]- and She Read More …

Talk after Fishermen’s Dance Alibag (India)

Talk after Fishermen’s Dance …very simple folks, and they are just now singing that, “We are fishermen and we have to catch the fishes, and then the ladies have to take them to the market.” Now, the whole night the fishermen go on their boats and bring the fishes, and the ladies then, in the morning, are ready with all this kind of dress that they wear. They are all very nice-looking, healthy women because they live in the water, you see, of the sea. Water is very good. And then they go and sell these things (so the men are sleeping nicely after that; they come back home and sleep in) then they go back home by about ten o’clock. The fishing market is over; you can’t get any fishes. Only fresh fishes, if you have to go, you must go early in the morning from seven to eight or nine at the most, and all the fishes are over. Then they wash off everything and go away. So that is what they are describing that, “We have worked very hard and got these fishes for you; now you’d better go and sell them.” So they are saying, “We are working in the shores, near the shores of Bombay” (that’s Mumbai). You can understand why Christ chose the fishermen, because they are always having their foot-soaking, you know. Very simple people, and very nimble. You see them how they are not stiff at all, the way they are very, Read More …
