Shri Mahakali Puja: She is the Holy Ghost Salvador-Bahia (Brazil)

Author2 Comments

Shri Mahakali Puja, Salvador-Bahia (Brazil), 14 October 1992. It is so nice to be here in Brazil, especially in Salvador. I’ve been to a gentleman a long time back, from my husband’s office, from Brazil, and his wife was suffering from terrible black magic. And she really was cured of that trouble. So he told me that, “You have to go to Brazil because it is full of lots of negative things specially the black magic, so you must go there somehow”. And so it was my great desire to come here and that’s how I came, few years back. Also, Duilio was here and, I mean, things were arranged somehow, Sahaj, so I came here.So, the problem of this country is more, is this black magic that is brought by the people from Africa. So I have thought today, we, let us have Mahakali Puja.Mahakali is the left-side Power in us. So, actually, she is Adi Shakti. Only when she enters into the left side of the Virata we call her Mahakali, but she is the power of pure desire of God. Then she establishes Shri Ganesha herself. Then she goes to the right-side as Mahasaraswati. And then she enters into the centre where she is Mahalakshmi. That is how Adi Shakti takes three forms. But Mahakali is the pure form, because she’s not yet taken- I mean from Adi Shakti, she is Mahakali Power. So, first thing she, before creating this universe or anything, she created Shri Ganesha.

Public Program. Geneva (Switzerland), 24 August 1992. Shri Mataji: It’s all right, it’s ? I don’t need, I don’t need. It’s all right. Shri Mataji: You can ask them, all of them, to sit; I think there are chairs here and there. Standing, what you can see here also? On the, on the? they can come on the stage. It’s a big stage, you know. They can come here, on the stage. Please come. I bow to all the seekers of Truth. At the very outset, at the very outset, we have to know that truth is what it is. We cannot think about it, we cannot read about it and we cannot conceptualize it. And also unfortunately at this human awareness we cannot feel it; we cannot know it. One has to rise above your physical, emotional and mental side. We have reached a stage of this human awareness through our evolution, but we do not know the absolute truth. This is the reason why there are so many theories coming up, so many dogmas, and there are fights, wars, all kinds of problems in this world. Thanks to Mr. Gorbachev that the political wars may not take place. But fundamentalism is the biggest problem today. And we do not know how they work out their fundamentalism on our minds. It is very important now to understand because this is going to be the greatest problem for us and for our children. To get over the fundamentalism, the only Read More …

Talk to Yogis at Red Hill Lookout. Canberra (Australia), 13 February 1992. So we are with the nature here. So beautiful. The way it is planned you can see how the person who’s planned it had the feel of the land, feel of the nature. How he is made up, by not destroying it . Whatever is there he used it, otherwise they would have put one bulldozer and finished it off. But the way it is planned shows he had feeling for the land and he could understand. The way we look at nature also, is our own. The way we are inside, that’s how we look at nature. Nature is our friend absolutely; it’s working for us all the time. And we don’t do much for it. Look at these trees. They give shade, they give fruits. Whatever is possible for them, they do it. And when they are old, use them for wood. All supportive to our life. But we must have feeling; otherwise, what’s happening today is this ecological problem. And this is because we do not have any feeling for the Mother Earth. No feeling for the nature. We are really plundering them and then the whole thing reacts. It’s a kind of an aggression that you want to have so many things at the same time. Like I have seen once, first when we went to England, we never served any drinks in our house in India, but in England nobody would come to Read More …

1991-12-09 Public Program, Bangalore, India I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset one has to know that truth is what it is, we cannot conceptualize it, we cannot imagine about it, we cannot organize it, we cannot change it. The unfortunate thing is that we cannot know it at this human awareness. I came to Bangalore and people brought beautiful flowers to me, very beautiful flowers. We take all these flowers for granted, we don’t even think how one seed can give these big trees, can create this beautiful atmosphere, also how these trees and plants and bushes all of them how they grow up to a limited area, how individually they produce whatever they are supposed to produce. Look at our eye what a complicated thing this eye is, what a camera it is, how many things it does, we never even think how did we get this camera fixed here which is doing so many things. We just take everything for granted, and also i must say that science cannot tell you how, it can say it is, whatever they find honestly they say it is beyond that they cannot say how. Now we have to also think about one more thing that we have being human beings from amoeba stage to this stage we have come, but is this the absolute that we have reached? Is this the end of our evolution? If it was so there would have been no problems, we Read More …

Dyan Ki Avashakta, On meditation New Delhi (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

Need of meditation  New Delhi (India), 27 November 1991 Today, I have met you all after a long time and we should all understand about Sahaj yoga. Sahaj yoga has evolved for the benefit of whole world. And you all are its medium. Your responsibilities are too many because you all are its medium. No one else is the medium for it.  If we give the vibrations to any tree or to some temple or anywhere else. If we give these vibrations, it won’t be activated, it won’t work out. Only by your determination and your action, it is going to spread. Then, we have to understand that there is only one demerit in Sahaj Yoga. Although, it is Sahaj and you get it very easily. Even if you achieve it in Sahaj way, it is very difficult to sustain it, because we are not living in Himalayas. We are not living in any such place, where there is no other environment except spiritual environment. We are living in every kind of environment and because of that we have many kinds of attributes sticked to us. So, in Sahaj Yoga we have to work out purity within us and to become pure. For example, if any of the channels is there and if it is not all right, as the channel of electricity then electricity cannot travel through it. If it is the water tap and something it struck up inside then the water cannot pass through it, same way Read More …

Public Program Talk – Truth, Consequences, False Gurus, Puree Desire, Attention, 04-27-1991 I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset, we have to understand that truth is where it is. We cannot organize it. We cannot conceptualize it. Unfortunately, at human awareness, we cannot know it. Now whatever I’m going to tell you here, you have to have a scientific attitude towards it. There should be no blind faith. That’s not going to help. Nor complete denial, but you should have an open eye to find out what is the truth about yourself and about this universe.The greatest truth about us, the human beings, ourselves, is that we are not this body, this mind, this ego, these conditionings, but we are the pure Spirit. And we have to become the pure Spirit. The second truth is that the whole universe is organized, is coordinated, nourished, above all loved by God Almighty, who exists as this Power, which we can say is the all-pervading Power of divine love. This Power is the absolute truth. Is eternal.And out of this universe emerges — we have become human beings from the amoeba stage only through the working of this great divine Power. So within us lies reflected on our heart, is the Spirit, is God Almighty. And also reflected within us, this Primordial Mother, God’s love, his desire, as Kundalini, which you see here in the triangular bone, what we call as the Holy Ghost. This power residing in Read More …

Birthday Puja Mumbai (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

Birthday Puja, March 21, 1991, Mumbai, translation from Hindi The whole world is gleefully celebrating our birthday. All this makes me so emotional that till now no children would have loved their mother so much, like you love me. This is the glory of Shri Ganesha that he would behold His Mother above all deities and would be engrossed in Her service. Therefore, He could accomplish everything. It is a natural instinct for every mother to love her children and to sacrifice everything for them. And she doesn’t have any expectations from them. But, every mother desires her children to be of good character, and, earn name and fame. A worldly mother has such desires. But, the ranks of a Spiritual Mother that you have bestowed upon me, I don’t have any desires. I was thinking what I should talk about because I don’t have any desires. Probably in such a state no desires exist, yet without having any desires they are being fulfilled. You are doing everything even before a desire emanates, so what should I desire for. What I had wished and hoped for – that my children should be extremely virtuous, they must have a radiant temperament, must be munificent, valorous, working for everyone’s welfare – must own such a grandeur personality and must be great gurus. I can see it is happening; little less in some, more in others. I am also witnessing how you are going around the world to give self-realization to all people. Read More …

Talk to Sahaja Yogis Pune (India)

Talk to yogis. Pratishthan, Pune (India), 14 December 1990. I asked some of the boys, “What is your policy?” They said, “We have no policy.” “Then what is your aim?” “We have no aim.” “Then why are you doing this nonsense?” They said, “Because whatever the elders tell us, we do it.” I said, “Have you no personality? Nothing?” Is exactly what happened when this hippy movement started. Some so-called intellectuals started this horrible hippy movement in the West. And when they found they cannot do anything about it, they found it’s going to fail, so many children lost their education, so many children I know became pregnant, girls and boys [sadist scout/squat]. All that took them to the extreme that they became violent. But unless and until there is a change within yourself, how can we change anything outside? We cannot. And the first seven people I fought were all hippies. Very difficult. They called themselves hippies but they used to hog like a pig. They wanted all the comforts, everything free, extremely dominating and quarrelsome people. But the foundation was laid on them. Very surprising. But I had to work on them for at least four years regularly. [Hindi] So that is how Sahaja Yoga started, and today you know how much it has spread, how far it has gone. Only in Maharashtra this problem is there of so-called intellectuals, this is called themselves, but they have no intelligence. I talked to one man; I got fed up. Read More …

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 …

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 …

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 …

The roots are within ourselves thumbnail

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 …

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 …

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 …

“A New Jump Has To Be Taken”, Evening before Easter puja. Eastbourne (UK), 21 April 1990. Very nice to see you all here for Easter Puja. Very nice! Such a pleasure, such a joy. As if I feel, the resurrection working fast.  The year 1990 has come now, as a special year for all of us. Sahaj Yoga is going to spread very fast, no doubt; everywhere, all over the world, I know that. It has to spread. And also I told you that a new jump has to be taken by all the Sahaj Yogis. To explain it we’ll say that Sahaj Yoga is spreading in a horizontal manner, the plane is horizontal, and you are responsible for that work. You are working it out no doubt. Because of you it has spread. Some of you have gone all out to work it out, to spread it to villages, to surrounding places, different countries. Also the events, world events, have helped us a lot and Sahaj Yoga has worked in a very big way. Maybe it will be difficult for us to really balance it out.  But when we move horizontally we must also know that we have to move vertically. Otherwise, what will happen is that we’ll lose in quality. Quantity may be quite a lot but we’ll lack in quality. And if the quality goes down then you will see many will fritter away.  So we have to look after our vertical ascent which is very important. Read More …

4th day of Navaratri and Birthday Puja: Three tricks to progress in Sahaja yoga New Delhi (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

Today is the 4th day of Navaratri and as you know that the puja of Navaratri has to be celebrated only during the night. To take out the darkness it is very necessary that the nights should be lighted. Today there is also another coincidence that you are celebrating My Birthday. On this day, Gauriji established Shri Ganesha after her marriage. Shri Ganesha is the source of purity. The very first thing in the world which was established was purity so that it spreads all over so that all the living beings, even the human beings, all those who came into this world should be protected by purity and should keep away from impure things. That is why the whole creation was drenched with purity by Gauriji. And only after that the creation came into existence. So it is of utmost importance in our lives that we should place purity at the highest place. But purity does not mean that we clean ourselves, take our bath, or even for the body to keep it alright, but we should clean our hearts. The biggest disorder (enemy) of the heart is anger: It is the biggest sickness. And when a person is angry, his purity is destroyed. Because another name of purity is selfless love: that love which always flows and does not expect anything in return. The satisfaction of this love is that it’s just flowing and when it does not flow it gets suffocated and it gets disturbed. So, purity Read More …

Three Yuktis for the Progress in Sahaja Yoga. Today is the fourth day of Navaratri and in Navaratri you know that the puja should be done in the night. To dispel the darkness, it is important that we bring light into the night. You are also celebrating my birthday today. Today Shri Gauri after her marriage, created and established Shri Ganesha. Shri Ganesha is the source of ‘Pavitrata’ (Purity & Holiness). The first thing that was spread in this World was the Purity so that all beings, human beings who came into this World can stay protected with the Purity and keep away from unholy things. This is why Shri Gauri bathed the whole creation with the Purity and it was only after that the rest of creation was initiated. So the most important thing in our life is to consider Purity as the highest of all aspects within us. To keep Pure does not mean that we take bath, wash ourselves and make our body alright but it means that we should clean our Heart. The greatest malady of the Heart is anger. And when this anger enters into a person then the Purity within gets destroyed. Because Purity is nothing but ’Nirvajya Prem’ (Eternal Love). The Love that is ever flowing and does not expect anything in return. It is completely satisfied with its own nature of flowing. It feels disturbed when it cannot flow. So Purity means that you fill your Heart with Love and not with Read More …

10th Day of Navaratri, Depth and Contentment thumbnail

10th Day of Navaratri, Depth and Contentment Butlins Grand Hotel, Margate (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

Navaratri Puja, “Destroy the demons inside yourselves”. Margate (UK), 8 October 1989. It was very spontaneously decided that we should have the Devi Puja in England. And this is the place where really Devi Puja should be, because it’s the place of Sadashiva and where Adi Shakti should be worshipped. We have to today understand that why do we do Devi Puja? What is the reason for this Devi Puja? What do we get out of it? What are we supposed to achieve in our contents within ourselves? The first thing is that Kundalini is the Devi. She’s the reflection of the Adi Shakti. So when you worship Devi, first you worship also your own Kundalini by giving Her credit because She has given you this realization. It’s much deeper understanding than normally people have about the Devi Puja because they are not realized souls. Their Kundalini not is awakened. So normally when they do Devi Puja it’s for the purpose of getting realization so that the Devi should be pleased – prasanna – and should give them realization, or must get our chance to get to somebody who will give them realization. But you are at a different level now. So it’s more of a thanksgiving to your own Kundalini and to Adi Shakti, glorifying that whatever has happened so miraculously is because of the Kundalini which was within you, which was reflected by the Adi Shakti. But one has to know that only we are realized souls is Read More …

Shri Krishna Puja: They have to come back again and again Saffron Walden (England)

Author1 Comment

Shri Krishna Puja. Saffron Walden (England), 14 August 1989. Today we have gathered here to worship Shri Krishna’s incarnation. As you know that Shri Krishna is the incarnation of Narayana, of Shri Vishnu. So in every incarnation they carry all their qualities, all their powers and all their nature with them. So when He incarnated He had all the qualities of Narayana and then that of Rama, but every incarnation tries to rectify whatever in their previous life has been misunderstood and have been carried to the extremes. That’s why they have to come back again and again. So as Shri Vishnu, when He thought of taking His incarnation, because He is the one who is the preserver. He’s the preserver of this creation and also the preserver of dharma. So when He took His incarnation He had to see that people keep to their dharma. By keeping the dharma all right only, you could get your realization. So the job was quite difficult one, I should say, to keep people in the central path of Mahalakshmi. So by first incarnation, you can say that, He tried to create a benevolent king, as Shri Rama. Socrates has described a benevolent king. But as a result of that, people started thinking if they have become queen and king, born in the family of royalty, then they are gods. Shri Rama was the Purushottama – means He was the best among all the human beings. That means He incarnated as a human Read More …

[The interviewer speaks in Italian to Guido who translates the question to Shri Mataji.]Guido: What is a seeker, please?Shri Mataji: Seeker is a special category of human beings which are born in these modern times – whom William Blake* has clearly described. And he said that men of God, at these times they will be born, and they will know divinity, and they will have power to make others also. Very clearly, he said it, William Blake*. Guido: What is Your opinion about Jung?Shri Mataji: Jung? Jung was the one, he was the same as Blake, a seeker himself, of truth. So, he didn’t accept Freud. And he thought that there was something wrong with him. He has trained also in philosophy and I think he did go to India. Not only that but he got his Realization. And after getting Self-realization, he wrote about Collective Consciousness. He wrote so many things, which we can now feel it ourselves. And he was a man who gave good pictures of what will happen to a person when he once gets Self-realization. I should say we should be very much obliged to him for giving us the truth. It was not just a mental projection, but it was a capture training of his own evolution. Guido: As you may know Jung was a Swiss man. Do you have any particular message for Swiss people?Shri Mataji: You see, Jung saw that people were seeing images in Read More …

Mataji, welcome to the studio, let’s take off by looking at the beliefs of the Sahaja Yoga movement. Shri Mataji: Sahaja Yoga is a system by which you get spontaneously your Self-realisation, your self-knowledge by a happening that is within you. In a triangular bone called as sacrum, meaning “sacred”, lies a power which rises and pierces through your fontanel bone area which was a soft bone in your childhood. And then on your central nervous system, you can feel the Collective Consciousness. A new dimension is manifested. Interviewer: So, this starts by happening at birth, which is when people have the soft head as it were.

Arrival Speech. Ashram Melichargasse, Vienna (Austria), 25 July 1989. It was a wonderful time that we had in Italy when we went to that lake and I’m sure you all must have enjoyed it. But all these seminars and tours and all that are for our understanding of the spiritual urge within us and that exists in others. It is more meeting the other Sahaja Yogis together to know about other Sahaja Yogis from other countries and to enjoy the Spirit, which is so collective, because if everybody has the reflection of the Spirit, their company would enhance our joy and would give us a greater depth. See a person who is shallow, lives with himself, enjoys his selfishness and is all the time worried about himself. That’s the sign of a very shallow person. But as he starts becoming deeper and deeper, then he starts thinking of other people around. Then he goes further. He starts thinking about how this world was made, why is he on this Earth, what is the purpose of his life? And when such questions start troubling him he starts onto the path of Mahalakshmi. And when you are on the path of Mahalakshmi you get lost, you think it’s a kind of endless, bottomless pit where you cannot understand anything and you are just feeling that you have to seek something and to find out something. So when you find – we have these groups together where you find many of us are Read More …

Shri Devi Puja: The Essence of Self Respect thumbnail

Shri Devi Puja: The Essence of Self Respect Carla's House, Istanbul (Turkey)

AuthorLeave a comment

Shri Devi Puja, “The Essence of Self-respect”. Istanbul (Turkey), 27 May 1989. I’ve been desiring all the time that I should go to Turkey or Tunisia where there could be an entry into the Islamic world, because they have been promised that they will be resurrected, and that resurrection has to take place. For that I have to venture and give them their resurrection which is promised by Mohammed Sahib, I mean that’s My duty; and not only duty, but I’m bound by it, that I have to tell them about their resurrection and to save them. They deserve it, no doubt. When all the religions prospered in a very funny manner, I would say, separately, everyone thinking they are the best, the chosen ones, the highest ones, the greatest ones, believing in themselves, they started going down and down and down. The reason is, there is no respect for each other. And the respect is not there because there is no respect for oneself. If you respect yourself, you respect others also; but when you have no respect for yourself, you cannot respect others; but you should bombastically say that “I’m this, I’m that, I’m that” – any religion. Then your ego works, and ego makes you a person who does not know about yourself. If somebody has respect for oneself, he will never push forward, he will never try to be something prominent, he’ll never try to show off. On the contrary such a person would be hesitant Read More …

Devi Puja: Leadership and Responsibility Alibag (India)

Talk on leadership and responsibility, next day (after marriages), end of India Tour, Alibag (India), 30 December 1988. So we have come to the end of our tour and you all will be going to your countries in different directions. Now we have to look back and see what did we learn in this tour and what did we understand. There has been less talking from Me, I don’t know about you people, but there was a tremendous dynamic force which was working the movement, organization and the correction part of it. I do not know if you have felt that way, but should have, so many of you must have felt that within yourself there’s some sort of a dynamic happening. This has come because now the attention of Sahaj has gone beyond the realm of only few collective Sahaja Yogis and when you open your heads to this new dimension, then suddenly you start thinking about all the problematic things you have to face. So far you have been like Brahmins, you see, keeping away from non-Brahmins, in the sense, keeping away from people who are not Realized, keeping your society away from them, keeping your vibrations all right. And trying not to expose yourself to these people who are, according to you, maybe half-baked or maybe they are not yet in Sahaja Yoga. But I think now you are quite capable. Now, you’ve reached a stage where nothing can harm you, nothing can catch you. Now you Read More …

Talk to Sahaja Yogis: Value Systems Ganapatipule (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

Two Talks to yogis. Ganapatipule (India), 26 December 1988. English Transcript We have to understand that we have risen above our human awareness and at that level we were different and at this new awareness we are different people and all our priorities must change. Our value system has to change, and if it has not changed automatically we have to little bit deliberately work it out. Or else we have to see that we become really the Spirit and no more of all the falsehood of human awareness should be attached to us or we should be bothered about it. The, if you see, the principle of everything, as I see, the principle of everything, rather human endeavor, whatever it is, it is based on gathering property. Whether it is communism, or it is democracy or socialism or anything, it’s all going round and round to the point of property. Property, that may be land, that may be money, that may be anything. All economic activity surrounds that one point, is property. So the democracy, though it’s a political organization or political theory, actually is based on something very economic, economical thing called property. Then, same about communism, we can say; it’s the same thing, to, how to distribute the property, how to have the property equally, how to make everybody self-sufficient. But as soon as you become a realized soul, you have to know that your properties and your priorities are very different. Your property is your Spirit Read More …

Health Advice to Western Yogis Sangli (India)

Health Advice to Western Yogis & the problems with Australia, Sangli (India), 21 December 1988. I have heard that you have been all very sick. I think I got sick because of that, myself. Now I hope you are all better. Still there are sick people? How many? Guido Lanza: About seventy. Shri Mataji: Seventy are sick in bed? Where are they? Now there’s something I must tell you, that the other day these girls were making me wear ornaments and I felt a very funny smell from them. So I think that you people do not wash your hands properly. After going to the toilet I had told you to use water all the time – it’s very important. But you people stick, still, to the Western style. That’s very dirty, I tell you. It’s a very dirty style of living – is not to use the water. It’s very unhygienic also. That’s why you find in the West [that] most of the people are sick. Not here. You have seen yesterday how the boys were dancing – so quick and fast. So that’s one thing one has to remember is to wash your hands after coming out of the toilet, before food. Yesterday I smelt their hands and I was amazed. Smelling awfully bad! So that’s not an Indian custom or anything, but it’s a hygienic system. So I hope you have got lotas (jugs). Have you got lotas there? You had it. But still you keep to Read More …

Adi Shakti Puja: Detachment thumbnail

Adi Shakti Puja: Detachment Residence of Madhukar Dhumal, Rahuri (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

Adi Shakti Puja: Detachment, Rahuri (India), 11 December 1988. Puja has to start at the time when it has to start. I’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting, then I realised that today is a very good time according to the calendar; but it is not in the morning, so it had to be the third day of the moon. And as the moon is changing it’s phases in the day time, we had to wait till it started. I think, all these things have happened, of the theft and everything has happened, perhaps, to delay the Puja up to the point where it should start. So, in Sahaja Yoga we all go beyond time and we don’t have to worry about the timing. Only when it’s a formal function or something, because the people are formal, they don’t understand our styles. So we have to be present there at right time, otherwise we should just allow the time to take its own course and we should move in our own way. Now for our travel and this tour, we have to realise that we are here to achieve a certain amount of height in our detachment. We have to rise into the realm of our state, while the circumstances around us, they’re surrounding us and they should not make us unhappy, or biased, or we should not react to them. On the contrary we should try to rise above that. If there are no events of mishaps, then you Read More …

Talk to yogis at India Tour. Aurangabad (India), 7 December 1988. Sahaja Yogi: “Our ascent Mother.” Shri Mataji: “What?” Sahaja Yogi: “Our ascent.” Shri Mataji: “That’s very general.” Sahaja Yogini: “Enjoy tapasyas.” Shri Mataji: “Enjoy what? Chapathi?” (All Sahaja Yogis laugh) Shri Mataji: “Enjoy What?” Sahaja Yogini: “Tapas.” Shri Mataji: Tapas! Is it any tapas in this? Doesn’t seem to. No, no, no, no, no, no. We are all having a nice time I think. Tapasya doesn’t mean this. Tapasya means you have to climb the Himalayas without any water, with dehydration getting thinner and thinner, no food, nothing, that is Tapasya. Or stand on your one foot for 12 years. Sahaja Yogini: “We are getting Joy.” Sahaja Yogi: “We enjoy collectivity.” Shri Mataji: “That’s one of them. Correct. That’s one of them.” Sahaja Yogini: “To be in thoughtless awareness all the time.” Shri Mataji: Yes. You see there are really many things about this Indian tour, specially of Maharastra. To begin with, Maharastra is the country where I would say the Ganesha principle is very strong. Because there are 8 Ganeshas which have come out of the Mother Earth. And all the three powers are represented by the Mother Earth also here Mahakali, Maha Lakshmi, Maha Saraswati. So the whole place is very vibrated. And the Mother Earth is very much vibrated. Now, if you have any problem of Mooladara, for example, on this land if you sit down on the ground and put My photograph in front of Read More …

Diwali Puja, Shudy Camps (UK), 13 November 1988. Today we are here, all of us, to celebrate the Diwali, that is dipavali, meaning the rows of lights. In the darkness of Kali Yuga when you find from every place confusion of the worst type creating the darkness which cannot be penetrate into, and which looks like a solid mountain around us, and which can never be covered, as we feel, by the grace of God. And even with the grace of God it would never melt. In that darkness, in that hopeless state, when the creation is on the verge of its destruction, the light of Sahaja Yoga has arrived. And you are the lights, you are the dipas, you are the little, little lights, which were waiting to be enlightened, to be enlightened to see for yourself what’s wrong within your own lamp, what’s missing in your own lamp. Now, in the lamp you have three things, as you see. One is the container. Container is this body, container is this mind and the container is this intellect. And the container contains within us itself, is the oil. In Sanskrit language it’s called as snigdha or sneha, means the love. Is the love that is within your mind, within your body, within your existence itself. But this love is now limited, it is in a dormant state. It doesn’t express itself, it can spill out in wrong directions, it may spoil some things, which are beautiful. This love, when Read More …

And actually today is the day of the brothers and sisters. It’s also very nice that you are all meeting your brothers and sisters here and enjoying this Diwali function. We had a very nice function in India and it was celebrated in Bombay and they all send you their good wishes and Happy Diwali to all of you. They all remembered you very much. Now, today I am not going to give you a speech but I have to tell you certain things about the Indian Tour that we are going to have because I don’t think I’ll be able to talk to you about it later on. So first of all I wanted to know the girls who are engaged in India. Can you get up and – anyone of them are here? Those girls who were engaged in India. They are not here, none of them?

9th Day of Navaratri, On Agnya Pune (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

Navami, ninth night of Navaratri, Pune (India), 19 October 1988. Today is the last day of Navaratri. This should be the culminating pint for all of us, as you see, within us, as you know, that there are seven chakras for you ascent and two above it. That should be your destiny. But if you people go only on the agnya move on agnya, you cannot rise any higher. People have been lost on that chakra. So, that is a very important chakra. Sixth-‘Sashti’ of the Goddess is regarded as a very important thing and they say that Goddess comes on a ‘naanv’, on a boat, Calcutta people believe it because the sixth day is very big to cross it. That is what today is the problem with all of us that we have this sixth day still sitting on our heads and we cannot get out it. So to come to the nineth stage, though we may do Puja, we may do anything, but we are still on the sixth. So it is just outwardly that we are doing Puja. Seventh day is the day, where I am there. But 7th and 8th and 9th has to be achieved by crossing your 6th. Today I am going to tell you about the 6th because is the most important of all of us to know, that what Goddess has done for the sixth day. Mahalaxmi incarnated as Mary and she brought Her son, who was Jesus Christ and She wanted Read More …

6th Day of Navaratri Pune (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

1988-10-16 Sixth Day of Navaratri 1988 Pune (Translated from a talk given in Hindi)This is a worship of the Shakti. Until now many saints, sages have known and revealed about this Shakti. Whatever they could not describe in prose, they trued to convey by poetry. Whatever description was not possible to put in words – they composed different names of the Devi and described. We know all this and many people also know the meaning of this. But one thing they perhaps do not know is that every human being has all these Shaktis “Powers” dormant in them and they can awaken them. These dormant powers are eternal and limitless.Besides the thirty three crores of ‘Devas’, there are many Shaktis. But we can say that this ‘Self-Realisation’ that we have achieved today, has been achieved through working of some Shakti or the other. Without this you could not have achieved the ‘Self-Realisation’.You have received your Self-Realisation in ‘Sahaj’ way. Now there are two meanings of Sahaj. One meaning is you have got it easily. The other meaning is, – like any living process this has happened on its own. You have received it on your own.But when one starts thinking about the living process, you will be surprised, – your brain will stop functioning. Suppose you are looking at a tree, what is the power that makes it grow up to that particular height? Which power has made it so, that it can have this particular appearance?, these looks.

PANCHAMI, the fifth Day of Navaratri, 15th October 1988, Pune (India) Sant Eknath comes from Pratishthan. Pratishthan is called as Paithan. And he is the one, who has written this “Jogava”, means the Yoga and at that time he sang this in a very village language and it sung by so many people all over the Maharastra. You can imagine that this song was written so many years back. Now they have converted into a kind of a – I mean for Sahaja Yoga – and actually, it is precisely described what they wanted at that time. [Marathi] Now, in the beginning he says, the Goddess of Maharasthra was called as “Baya”. You will be amazed, in my childhood my name was “Baya”. They used to call me in my family as Baya. So, he is saying that, “I will ask Mother to give me the Yoga”. In the villages, this is said “Joga awa”. Again he says, “Bayecha Jogava” means the “jogawa” from the Goddess Baya and he is asking the “jogawa”. Now “Anadi nirguni” the one which is primordial. “Adi” beyond guna is the one which is without any gunas has manifested as “Bhawani” on this earth. And She has come to kill this Mahishasura. Also, she has come, “Prividh. Tapanzi Karavaya Zharani”. Five types of- [Marathi] Sahaja Yogi: Pains. Only devils. Shri Mataji: Heating pains.

Shri Ganesha Puja 18 sept 1988 Mumbai God’s creation started from Brahmanand, we also call that Omkar. This sound which spread in the world spread purity. God spread first purity in the world that is called chaitanya that you can now know also. You can experience it now also. The same Omkar. We worship Sri Ganesh in every worship. Today you have organised very nicely for the worship of Sri Ganesh. When we worship something we see the different form of that also. Some people ask for, some ask for money some ask for work some ad for publicity and recognition some ask for honour some ask for service some for business, some ask our house should be built. So people worship Ganesh for such things. Our Siddhi Vinayak was activated by me many years ago. People go there and ask for different things. But  SiddhiVinayak will not give these things. There are many people they give you diamond panne and take your many things. He is formless he has no shape. So first of all the form of Sri Ganesh is formless people worship him in form. But Sahaja yogi should know what is the aim of our life?. What do we want? Have we achieved that? Have we fulfilled our destiny? Why did we come to Sahajayoga.? Did we come to get something or get good business or get honour to win in the election? Sahayogi should know when we came for a new aim, what we will Read More …

Shri Vishnumaya Puja: Cure That Left Vishuddhi thumbnail

Shri Vishnumaya Puja: Cure That Left Vishuddhi Shudy Camps Park, Shudy Camps (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

“Cure that Left Vishuddhi” Shri Vishnumaya puja. Shudy Camps (England), 20 August 1988. This was least expected that we’ll have a Puja here or we’ll have any program of this kind. But I think something was left out of the whole program of such a fast one as you know I had to do, going from London to Frankfurt to America to Bogota, to be back, then Andorra and all these places still, I thought, now it is finished. And I came here in London I learned that there was one Puja was not done it is left Vishuddhi, and that coincides with this Raksha Bandhan because it is the sister relationship and brother relationship. So in the history, if you go, Shri Krishna was born the day his sister was born, and this Vishnumaya was transferred from, transformed I should say, into a lightning later on, but She was the one who announced the existence of Shri Krishna at that time – that He is born and He is living, He is in the present. This is the job of the left Vishuddhi, of the lightning, and you have seen that whenever I am going to any place, or I will be giving a program or something, just before that, the lightning, the thunder, all this appears in the sky, you see, to show that announcement. So it is one of the things that is used for announcement. To make it more practical and understanding is that we use Read More …

You have to become a saint thumbnail

You have to become a saint Geneva (Switzerland)

AuthorLeave a comment

Public program, Geneva (Switzerland), 12 August 1988. I bow to all the seekers of truth. As I told you yesterday that we have to know the truth on our central nervous system. That is why in every scripture, it is written that, “You are to be born again”. You are to be born again, in the sense, a happening has to take place within you. And this happening should give you the Self-knowledge. In every religion, whether it is Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Zardust religion called as the Parsis follow, every religion has said that there has to be this happening within you. In Islam, it is said very clearly as I told you yesterday, that at the time of Qyamma, that is resurrection, your hands will speak. So much has been written about Qyamma, the promise day of resurrection. And that you have to become the ‘waliy’ [saint], you have to become a saint. But as I told you yesterday, in every religion, people have plugged the flowers which were living, and now are living with the dead flowers, fighting with each other. Even the animals don’t fight that bad as the human beings fight. And how can it be? Those who are religious fight worse than anybody else. This has really brought such bad name to the Divine Power, to the righteous behaviour, to the pure love of the Divine. A lady asked Me in Italy, “Mother, how can You be a Mother, Grand-mother, wife and looking after Read More …

The Time of Resurrection thumbnail

The Time of Resurrection Geneva (Switzerland)

AuthorLeave a comment

Public Program. Geneva (Switzerland), 11 August 1988. I bow to all the seekers of truth. The seekers of truth is a very special category of people. They’ve existed in all the centuries before also. And you find glimpses of that in many literary work. Today I read a book written by [Ayalahu ?] from Spain who was there in 1906. And he had described a seeker of truth how he became a saint. William Blake* from England, about hundred years back he lived, has said that, “The time will come when many seekers of truth will be born. They are the men of God, they will be transformed, and they will have powers to transform others”. This transformation is what we call, is the birth which takes place second time. It is not just a certificate we should have, from some institution that we are born again. Or we have become a twice born person, as we call in India a Brahmin, who thinks that he is really baptized. But the real baptism is a happening. Recently there has been a very beautiful discovery of Saint Thomas’s writings who was a disciple of Christ and on his way to India, he wrote a beautiful description of what a saint should be, and what Christ wanted us to be, in a very large book, and put it in a jar in Egypt. This book was recovered only 48 years back and has been again deciphered by a very good gentleman who Read More …

Shri Krishna Puja: The State of Witnessing thumbnail

Shri Krishna Puja: The State of Witnessing Como (Italy)

AuthorLeave a comment

Shri Krishna Puja. Garlate, Como (Italy), 6 August 1988. Today we have gathered here to worship Shri Krishna. We must understand the significance of Shri Krishna’s advent on the Vishuddhi chakra. As you know very well, except for once or twice, Shri Brahmadeva has taken His incarnation. Also once Shri Ganesha has taken His birth as Lord Jesus Christ. But Vishnu tattwa, the principle of Vishnu, has taken many a times birth on this earth, as the Goddess had to take many-a-times Her birth. They had to work together many-a-times and with the principle of Vishnu, the principle of Mahalakshmi has acted to help the ascent of the people. So the principle of Vishnu is for your ascent, for the evolutionary process of human beings. Through this advent and through the power of Mahalakshmi, we have become human beings from amoeba stage. This is a spontaneous working for us, but for the principle of Vishnu, He had to go through various incarnations to evolve. As you know there have been incarnations of Shri Vishnu as a fish to begin with and went on till it came to the state of Shri Krishna, where they say that He has become complete. But one has to realize that He works on our central nervous system, He builds our central nervous system. Through our evolutionary process our central nervous system has been built up. And this central nervous system has given us all the human awareness that we have. Otherwise we would have Read More …

Talk to Sahaja Yogis, Eve of Guru Puja Camping Borda d'Ansalonga, Ansalonga (Andorra)

Lecture on Evening before Guru Puja, Ansalonga (Andorra), July 30th, 1988 Tomorrow is a great day for all of us because it’s the Guru Puja Day, and perhaps you know that Guru puja is the greatest day for all the sahaja yogis, also for Me. Of course, Sahasrara is the day, which is very important, which makes a big history in the spirituality and also in the evolutionary process. But for us the sahaja yogis and Myself – it’s very remarkable that we are here to know something and to teach something. Now, if you see how Sahaja Yoga knowledge has slowly come to all of you. Gyaneshwara has described it so beautifully – he says, “Like the petals when they fall on the Mother Earth, gently, in the same way, let this knowledge fall onto the minds of the disciples and make them fragrant.” Another thing described is a bird called Chakoor, which is a bird which just at the time of full moon, sucks the nectar of moonlight, otherwise, it doesn’t care for anything else, it feeds only on itself. So he says, “Let the knowledge of the Divine be sucked in by the disciples like the Chakoora bird who sucks in the nectar of the moonlight.” Moon stands for the Spirit. In the same manner, let it penetrate into their being. After all, he was a very great poet, I must say, in poetry, nobody can go as deep as Gyaneshwara has gone, no one. So slowly Read More …

The spiritual power which surrounds us United Nations Headquarters, New York City (United States)

AuthorLeave a comment

Public Program by Invitation, United Nations Headquarters, New York City (United States) Gregoire: What I would like to say to you perhaps is that Shri Mataji is already with us. I wouldn’t like to talk for too long but the major difference to put it in a nutshell is that because we are in a time where so many people are seeking and because there is a demand for the keys to the frontier of new conscious many people have come supplying all kind of answers. Now as people have refined their language, you’ll see that more or less all use the same key words – joy, peace, love, awareness, spontaneity, creativity so on and so forth. So that its difficult if you have a lecturer who is clever only on the basis of the language to make the difference between someone who can effectively deliver something and someone who is just precisely only giving a lecture. Now the key to Sahaja Yoga is experience. I mean it is certainly the tradition that Shri Mataji will talk to us and will explain us some aspects of Sahaja Yoga, the system that she has discovered. It’s not something new, it’s something totally ancient, but she has discovered how to reveal it to us in the modern world. She will explain some of it, so that the questions in our brains get reasonably satisfied otherwise we are keeping guessing and raising questions. However the cardinal importance of a program such as the Read More …

“I will send you the Holy Ghost” Spreckels Organ Pavilion, San Diego (United States)

AuthorLeave a comment

Public Program Day 1 at Balboa Park. San Diego (USA), 22 July 1988. I bow to all the seekers of truth. If we are seeking the truth we have to understand that truth is what it is. It was the same and it will be the same. You cannot change it. You cannot organize it. You cannot limit it. But at the stage when we are human beings, we know the truth but a very little part of it. Truth is to be known on our central nervous system, is not by any lecturing or by any mental process, emotional process, physical process or spiritual courses. One has to rise to that state of enlightenment, which enables us to see the absolute truth. The part truth we know through our senses as you can see Me here sitting and I can see you sitting around. I can see so clearly. And you can see Me clearly through your eyes and you know the truth that I am sitting down here. So, also through our ears, through our eyes, through our sense organs we see the truth and all the other dimensions of these organs we have achieved we can see the truth as well. For example, if there is a dog, and if it has to go through a dirty lane, he can do it. But human beings cannot do it. They can see the things that a dog cannot see. Many things that they can enjoy and hear, a Read More …

How to become a realized soul? Hotel Dann Colonial, Bogota (Colombia)

AuthorLeave a comment

Public Program. Bogota (Colombia), 20 July 1988. I bow to all the seekers of truth. When we talk of truth we have to know that the truth is, was and will be. We cannot organize it, we cannot change it and we cannot conceive it. We have to understand it as it is. But the truth that we know only through our sensitive central nervous system, like I see you all sitting here and also you can see Me sitting here through you eyes is the truth. Or the thing, you heard the music from your ears, through your sense organs. Whatever you have known through that, through your feeling is the truth. It cannot be your imagination or your ideas which you have got in your heads from your childhood or maybe that somebody has put it into them. So we have to be honest in our seeking and whatever we have found to be of no use or which is not honest we have to give up. Now whatever has been told to you about your chakras, about your subtle being inside, all this is the knowledge of the roots. We have through our science advance quite a lot. We know lots of things that are existing but this is the knowledge of the roots. Now as a scientist and as a scientific mind you should keep your mind open to see whatever I am telling you is the truth or not. So when we became human beings Read More …

Imbalances within us Munich (Germany)

AuthorLeave a comment

Public Program Day 1 (Sahaja Yogi talks in German) I bow to all the seekers of truth. It is important for all of us to know that we do not know absolute truth. One person says something, another person says something, and we don’t know where to look. We don’t know whom to believe and whom to understand. Also, whatever I’m telling you, you need not take Me for granted. But keep your minds open, as scientists. In case what I say is proved, then you have to accept it as law, not because I say this is so, this is so. Now, you have heard about the chakras that are within us and the centers that govern us. Now, this knowledge is the knowledge of the roots. This instrument has come out of the knowledge of the tree. But there is another instrument within us about which you have already heard. Then one may ask: If there is such an instrument within us, why do we commit mistakes, why do we have collective mistakes also? And why it is that we all do not have understand absolute truth? And why there are so many different ideas and theories in this world? And why do we have this instrument within all of us? But this instrument, which is within us, is not connected to the mains. That’s why it is not working out. It has to be connected to the mains. And to connect it to the mains is possible Read More …

But still, we try, we try to accommodate and see if there is any way coming in and we find it. All right? Why I asked him to talk to arrange a meeting with you people is this: because I’ve discovered that in Kali Yuga, especially in the West, the problem will be coming from the women. We have had a very bad problem in Australia, you must have heard about it. Have you heard about it? It’s a very serious problem. Now this wife has shown her ego so clearly. And She said, Read More …

1988-0609 Radio Interview and Workshop Interviewer: Ask you to tell me first to give me a basic definition of what’s your work in. Shri Mataji: Sahaja Yoga. Interviewer: Yes. What is it? I main idea of it? Shri Mataji: Sahaja. Saha means ‘with’.  ‘Ja’ means born. Born with you. That is spontaneous. Yoga means union with the Divine. Now many people in modern times won’t believe there’s anything like this. Supposing I say there is. Keep an open mind of a scientist you must accept it as a hypothesis to begin with. Now we have a Divine power, a very subtle power everywhere but we can’t feel it.  With our human awareness we cannot feel it. With human awareness we also don’t not know the absolute truth. [even in a relative way.] So there has to be a break-through and the break-through has to take place in our universal [consciousness] And Sahaja Yoga is the method which gives you that break-through. Interviewer: How does it do this? Now within us is placed an energy which we call as kundalini in Sanskrit language,which is a residual energy in the triangular bone or the sacrum, also means sacred bone, so maybe the Greeks knew bout it. It rises like a primule in a seed, passes through six centres and pierces through the last one here and gives you what we call as self-realisation, or real baptism, here. That’s what it is.

Public Program. Kongresshaus, Vienna (Austria), 9 June 1988. I bow to all the seekers of truth. Yesterday I was happy that so many of you have felt the Cool Breeze of the Holy Ghost. This is the All pervading power of God’s Love about which all the scriptures have written. But in modern times because we never felt this Breeze we have even denied the existence of God. But once you get connected to this Divine force, then it starts working through you in such a wonderful way, that you are amazed. As you see this instrument (ed: microphone) that I have here has to by connected to the mains. In the same way every human-being is to be connected to the mains, and that is this power which I am talking about. This is what Christ has said that, “You have to be born again.” Now in India we call a person who is a Brahmin, the one who has known this Brahma, the All pervading power as dwijaha – meaning twiceborn. And even a bird is called as dwijaha in Sanskrit language meaning twice-born, it is an egg-first and then it becomes the bird. But we have many people in India, just brand themselves as Brahmins, though they are not twice-born. In the same way you find it everywhere that they just take a pride, “I am this, I am that,” but they are not. If you are a twice-born person, then you have to feel this All Read More …
