Talk to Sahaja Yogis from Africa, Swiss Hotel, Istanbul, 23.04.2001
Shri Mataji : ……This should not come to you people because you live with the nature and nature is not, nature is never corrupt.
Yogi : Mais ça, ça ne doit pas arriver à vous parce que vous êtes au contact de la nature et les personnes naturelles ne sont jamais corrompues.
Shri Mataji : You know, every leaf, you will be amazed, which is on the tree, […]
Address to Tunisian women. Tunis (Tunisia), 13 November 1994.
Shri Mataji: You can’t see? You can come here.
Yogi: … ladies, Shri Mataji, they all say that they have got used to You, and they love You very much…
Shri Mataji: Thank you.
Yogi: … and they want You to stay in Tunisia (Shri Mataji laughs), they want You to buy a residence – they want to buy a residence for You, so You can come more often (applause). […]
Public Program Day 2, Tunis (Tunisia), 12 November 1994.
I bow to all the seekers of truth. Yesterday I told you that truth is what it is. You cannot change it, you cannot transform it, and you cannot know it by reading. Whatever I’m going to tell you also now, you should not take it for granted blindfolded. It has already caused us so much trouble all over the world by blind faith. But I would request you to treat my lecture as a hypothesis. […]
Public Program Day 1, Tunis (Tunisia), 11 November 1994.
[42:39. This is a TV interview just before entering on the stage at the public program. It will be transmitted on the national news.]

Public Program, “The Inner Religion”. Palais des Congrès, Paris (France), July, the 12th 1994.
I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset, I have to say that truth is what it is. We cannot change it, we cannot transform it. We cannot compromise with it. It is what it is, it has been what it has been, and it will be what it has been. So it doesn’t change. What is needed is that we have to change. […]
1993-0717, Public Program, Hotel Metropole
I bow to all the seekers of Truth. We have to know at the very outset that Truth is what is is. We cannot conceptualise it. We cannot change it. It has been, it is and it will be. But we have to know the absolute Truth. So far whatever we know through our human awareness is not absolute. That’s why there are so many differences, so many different ideologies. This Truth we have to know on our central nervous system. […]
Public Program “Spiritual Traditions” Paris (France), 12 July 1993.
I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset, we have to know that truth is what it is. We cannot conceptualize it, we cannot change it, we cannot transform it. We have to feel the truth. At this human level, we do not know the absolute truth, that’s why there are all kinds of different opinions about everything. Absolute truth is for everyone the same. […]
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.
[A yogini translates every sentence into French.]
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, […]
Public Program, Paris Gaveau, France. 24 July 1992.
I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset we have to know that truth is what it is. We cannot think about it, we cannot conceptualize it. Unfortunately at this human level we cannot feel it, we cannot know it. We have to be the Spirit to know the truth.
Whatever I am going to tell you today you have not to believe blindfolded. […]
Public Program Day 2
I bow to all the seekers of truth. (Why don’t you sit here, it’ll be better, they are all trying to see your faces, sit here). Alright, you all can see him now. Yesterday I told you at the very outset that truth is where it is, we cannot change it, we cannot conceptualize it. Also, we cannot pay for it and we cannot put in any human effort to achieve it. […]
Public Program Day 1
They are all in the same business, be-fooling people, mesmerizing them, destroying their chakras and making money out of them. I mean there are institutions, yesterday we discovered one lady who had been to some authorized institution for some sort of psychological analysis. And she paid a lot of money and what she got is a body which shakes in a very funny way all the time and she cannot stand even. […]
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. […]
Public Program Day 1, Switzerland, September 18, 1990
I bow to all the seekers of truth.
At the very outset, we have to understand that truth is what it is.We cannot organise it.We cannot regulate it and we cannot conceal it.Also, we have to realise that truth cannot be known at human awareness.Truth has no pretensions and no drama.Whatever I am going to talk to you today, you have to listen to it with a scientific mind, […]
Public Program Day 2. Paris (France), 11 July 1989.
It’s only possible because they are Sahaja Yogis. Because it’s a very difficult language. And music is very intricate and the rhythm also is very difficult. It’s surprising you all have joined it so well. If I tell this in India, nobody will believe.
So yesterday we were talking about this power within us, which rises and gives us our Self Realization. This is our own power, […]
Public Program
By the people who themselves are corrupt, money-oriented, one gets disillusioned. Also, there is a category of people who find that in searching money and power they have achieved the joy of life, but there’s another category of people, who are aware that they have not been able to find the absolute truth. William Blake calls them as men of God. And such people would be born in these modern times, has been predicted a long time back. […]
Talk on marriage, Songs, Shri Mataji giving names. Ashram in Le Raincy, Le Raincy (Paris-France), November 4th, 1987
It’s nice to see you all here, to meet
you all. Now, we were very successful in these programs and so many
people came. I’m sure they will be coming again.
Some of them are such that they may not
have light, a particular statement of mind or maybe something like
that. Because one lady came and asked Me: “How do you say that
Hitler was the disciple of Dalai Lama?” […]
1987-11-03 Public Program Day 2 Paris France
[FRENCH] I was just, Shri Mataji, explaining a bit the chakras. So I explained, I explained the different two sides
Shri Mataji:- Two sides
SY:- The right and left side, the centers of energy and that’s all I’ve told.
Shri Mataji – All right. Thank you.SY – I think [that’s it] for introduction before.Shri Mataji – All right. I bow to all the seekers of truth. The truth can be realized if you love someone. […]
Public Program Day 1, Paris (France), 2 November 1987.
I bow to all the seekers of truth.
At the very outset, I apologize for being late because you know my plane could not leave London somehow. But that shows that you people have real patience, and you want to know the truth. One has to know that truth is what it is. You can not have a concept about truth. Truth is reality which is beyond human concept and is beyond human endeavour. […]
Public Program Day 1, Ancien Hôtel Communal, Brussels, Belgium 10.07.1987
<Introduction in French>
I Bow to all the seekers of Truth!
As you are here to find out truth, you have
to know that the truth cannot be ordered. And truth is not our concept. We
cannot organize the truth. Truth exists beyond human powers. For example, if
you say that this is wood, we can see it is wood, we can feel it is wood and
everybody says it is wood, […]
Public Program, Geneva (Switzerland), 5 October 1987.
As I told you, these are modern times. And in modern times this en masse-realisation was to take place. That was to happen. In modern times only, when people get frustrated, when they get lost, they don’t know what to do, when they are deceived and cheated, then they start looking for something that is the support. This attitude of seeking was never before so much as it is today. […]
Shri Krishna Puja. St Quentin (France), 16 August 1987.
It was very beautiful of [the] children to come and receive me in this beautiful manner. It can take you back to the days of Krishna when, in his childhood, he was very much respected by his friends and they tried to do all the honour that was possible. You know the story of his birth. And here we have the flowing of water, both the sides. […]
Talk to Sahaja Yogis the day before Shri Krishna Puja.
It’s very nice to see you all here assembled in such happy mood and the nature is also very happy with you.
I’ve tried to learn French but I think it’s a very difficult language.
When I came first to France they told me, Mother you should never say that you are a happy joyous person. I think I practised to myself — Now the idea was that, […]
Shri Mahalakshmi Puja. Malines (Belgium), 20 September 1986.
Today we are going to worship the principle of Mahalakshmi in Belgium. Belgium has a speciality that it creates glass bangles for the Mother. That is, the bangles which are used as a beautiful musical accompaniment to the gait, to all the movements of the Goddess. It brings a delicacy in a woman; and gives a consciousness to the man or the men that there are ladies around. […]
Role of Belgium and Holland, Malines/Mechelen (Belgium), 20 September 1986
And in Belgium I must say that the ladies have to be very good. Because Belgium and Holland are left Nabhis, actually I didn’t say but it is so. Not to frighten (you), it’s very important.
And in left Nabhi there are two very important organs are. The one is the spleen and another is the one, what you call that, which makes the sugar of the – [Gregoire, […]
Public Program. 1986-09-17
We are living in these modern times which are very eventful In last 50 of 60 years so many things have happened and the churning should bring forth many truths before us First we have to realize that man has separated from each other. The relationships that existed once upon a time are no more to be found today. And on the collective level we are waiting for a shock. God knows what sort of a disaster is going to fall upon us. […]
Public Program Day 2. Medical College, Paris (France), 21 May 1986.
[partial transcript]
I bow to all the seekers of truth.
As it is, at length, Gregoire has told you about the chakras and about the three nadis which are within us. But what is the purpose of the mechanism within us? What is the purpose of getting self-realisation? People have been talking about the self, about the Spirit. But what is it? Spirit is the reflection of God Almighty within us in our heart. […]
Public Program Day 1,
University Paris Diderot, Paris (France), 1986-0520
I bow to all the seekers
of Truth.
In these modern
times, a new wave of
consciousness is working. People are trying to seek, perhaps many of
them do not know what to seek. The atmosphere is filled with this
idea that there are a special category of human beings who are
seekers. And with this demand, there’s a market now established to
give you the truth. […]
Devi Puja, French seminar. Dourdan (France), 18 May 1986.
Today we have gathered here in this beautiful place to work out something very deep. There are certain things of which we are not aware, which are in the history, and some things in the atmosphere, they affect us very much because we are the product of five elements out of which the Mother Earth is the left side within us. The Mother Earth changes its atmosphere, […]
Sahasrara Puja. Alpe Motta (Italy), 4 May 1986.
Today is a great day for all of us, because it is the sixteenth Sahasrara Day. That in sixteen beats or sixteen movements you reach a higher position in the poem. That it is complete, that Shri Krishna is called as a complete incarnation because He has sixteen petals. This completeness is called as “purna.” So, now we move into another dimension. The first one was where you got your Self-realization. […]
Public Program, Strasbourg, France. 9 October, 1985.
nb. no video exists due to technical problems.
I bow to all the seekers of truth. You are the lovers of truth and you have been seeking in these modern times. It is a special category of human beings who are seeking, beyond materialism, beyond power, beyond emotional enterprises, because the times are such that we have reached the epitome of our evolution and the breakthrough has to be found. […]
Talk to yogis. Strasbourg (France), 9 October 1985.
Like a drama it is that you have to reach a climax point, otherwise … I’m saying it is like a drama that it has to reach a climax point. And I see the game has started now this way creating an expectancy and little suspense, and then ultimately you arrive on the scene. Yesterday it was said that there’s no chance at all, so I wondered, “What’s happening now?” […]
Public Program 1985-0701, Brussels
I bow to all the seekers of truth. First of all, I must apologise for the small place that we have. But it gives me tremendous joy to see so many seekers in Brussels. It is a special category of human beings who are seekers, as it is human beings are the epitome of evolution, but seekers are people gifted with a special awareness who know that there is something beyond. They may not have known about it may be, […]
Departure Talk, Charles de Gaulle airport, Roissy-en-France (France)
Monday, July 1st, 1985
[All the attempts that have been done to create a trade by Sahaja Yogis for Sahaja Yoga have failed, but the ones that exist before]…Established shop is alright, like she has, but otherwise.
So everybody must take up a job and should go on working on his job, not to change, it’s ego, absolutely ego that: “I’ve given up my job.” It’s ego, 100% it’s ego. […]
Arrival Talk. Founex (Switzerland), 11 June 1985.
I bow to all the seekers of truth.
Today we have a new generation of people what we call the people who are seekers. These are some special category who are seeking something beyond. They are seeking the truth as they say. But what is the truth? What are you seeking? As I told yesterday in Geneva that whatever you are seeking has to be something sensible. It cannot be something nonsensical, […]
Public Program Day 2, Musée social, Paris, France, 1985
[Introduction to Sahaja Yoga in French by Patrick. Short resume to Shri Mataji about what he said.]
[Talk starts at 23:35 on video.]
I bow to all the seekers of truth.
The day before, I told you, that eventually, one has to understand what a seeker has to find out. He has to find out himself, his own Spirit, the idea of having some sort of a new venture into the style of seeking comes because people want to make money out of you. […]
Public Program Day 1, Paris, 1985-04-22
[Patrick is introducing Sahaja yoga]
Shri Mataji: I’ll stand, it will be better. Better take out my shoes.
I bow to all the seekers of truth. These are exceptional times. There are thousands and thousands people born on this earth who have been seeking the truth for many lives. It is a very special category of personality. As a result of this, people started the seeking in various ways of the unknown. […]
Ashtami Puja, Eighth day of Navaratri, Meudon, Paris (France), 30 September 1984.
Today is the eighth day of Navaratri, and it is great day for Sahaja Yogis because it is the most important time, period. That is, the seventh centre, we have crossed, and we are on the eighth centre. We need not think about the Goddess what She did on the eighth day, we have to think today what we have to do within ourselves. […]
Public Program. Paris (France), 29 September 1984.
[About the mike] Just have to test it a bit.
I bow to all the seekers of truth. Now, we talk of truth, we have heard about it, and so many of us think that we know the truth. But truth is only known on your central nervous system. Supposing, sitting down in London, I believe that Paris is like this or like that, I do not see the truth. […]
Public Program. Lausanne (Switzerland), 30 August 1984.
I bow to all the seekers of truth.
It’s such a great pleasure to see so many people in Lausanne who are seekers and have come to know, here, about the truth. Can you hear him? Is it all right or muffled? Muffled. Little bit, I think, should be further. Just put it right.
These are special times, we must understand, when there are thousands of people who are feeling the urge to seek beyond. […]
Public Programme Day 1. Geneva (Switzerland), 28 August 1984.
I bow to all the seekers of Truth.
I’m sorry, I could not come yesterday and I hope today we’ll be able to do something for ourselves.
When we talk of Truth, we have to know that at the human level we try to seek Truth through our mental projection or through our emotional understanding. The other day I met the president of the Jungian Society in America and he told Me that he was sitting on a cut trunk of a tree and he just thought that, […]
Guru Puja, Leysin (Switzerland), 14 July 1984.
I bow to all the sahaja yogis of the world. It is very heartening to see so many of you assembled here to do the Guru Puja.
To worship your Guru in person is regarded as the highest blessing. But in My case it’s a very different combination that I am your Mother and your Guru.
So you can understand how Shri Ganesha worshipped his Mother. You all are created in the same image of Shri Ganesha who worshipped His Mother and then He became the Adi Guru, […]
Departure, Charles de Gaulle Airport,
Roissy-en-France (France)
May 8th, 1984
Shri Mataji: So, is there any other problem with people?
[Inaudible]
Shri Mataji: Are you all right?
Sahaja Yogi: Yes, Mother.
Alexandre: He says has still a pain in the sternum.
Maire: A little bit.
Shri Mataji: Hold your breath.
And ask in your heart and hold your breath, ask in your heart: “Are you the Mother of the world?” Thrice. Then expire.
Thrice.
It is coming. […]
Talk to Ladies. Pimpri, Pune (India), 10 February 1984.
[Shri Mataji speaks in Marathi]
For your good luck, you should say let us say for your good luck, SoubhAgnya for your good luck. Is given to the ladies, always given to the ladies. Because in India the women are regarded as the Shakti and women who lead a married life and who have been mothers, who have been daughters and also wives and things like that are respected very much as only it is believed that only the respectable women when they exist in any country the Gods also reside there. […]
1983-09-01 Public Program, France
[Translator: … what we do?]
Shri Mataji: … which represents the Mother Earth. So far, whatever we have done is to exhaust the Mother Earth. She has been looking after us, but we have been exhausting Her. So within us is also placed the representative of that Mother Earth in the triangular bone or sacrum. Or we can say that this bone represents the Mother Earth and the energy within us, that represents the Holy Ghost. […]
Public Program Day 3, Geneva, Switzerland, 31.08.1983
I Bow to all the seekers of Truth
Within us lies the truth, it is said in all the scriptures, where does it lie? Nobody has told so far exactly where it lies. You must have realized from Armour’s lecture that he is Swiss, and he has become such an expert on Kundalini Yoga. There are many young people, very young, who come to Sahaja Yoga, and within a month, […]
1983-08-31 Talk to New Sahaja Yogis
[27:57] And once you have found the lamp and have lightened it then you don’t have to use a lamp to see that, do you? That lamp itself gives light. So this must be understood logically that now you are not there where you were. That you are at a different level and accept all the transformations as reality. And don’t live in the past or in your imagination. As I have told many a times a that supposing a beggar is made a king, […]
Public Program day 2. Geneva (Switzerland), 30 August 1983.
I bow to all the seekers of truth. Yesterday we saw the general aspect of Sahaja Yoga and how these modern times are connected to the future and to the past, because if it is a living process of evolution then it is a continuous process intermittent with transformations. But we human beings believe that whatever we achieve through our mental projection is the transformation. For example, […]
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi talking to the Sahaja yogis during an Entertainment Program, Switzerland
Shri Mataji: And the road …Yogi: Mother, actually this place is colder …I am also impressedShri Mataji: That’s what I say, it’s a fact. And the street which has a cool breeze. It’s such an expression of the unconscious as to what we are going to do in this place. Even When you get your realization, you are still sometimes in a growing stage up to a point Like you are by the mother earth all the time but you are not aware of it. […]
Public Program Day 1, 1983-08-29, Geneva
I bow to all the seekers of truth. Every moment has got a past and a future. Everything has got a history and a future that is going to follow. Today we are here at this moment and we have to look at every problem in relation to this time. The understanding of consciousness has to be understood in all its aspect, and at this period of complete integration it is easy to relate it to every movement of our mind. […]
Shri Krishna Puja, Tannay (Switzerland), 28 August 1983.
Today we are celebrating here, in this holy land the birthday of Shri Krishna.
Shri Krishna is the ultimate of the fatherhood that I described you before, who came on this Earth and illustrated the ultimate of that. So, on this Earth, the highest fatherhood is Shri Krishna’s awareness. But in the Kingdom of God, we can say in the Heavens, or even above everything else, resides Sadashiva who does not take incarnations. […]
