Diwali Puja, 1st Day, Dhanteras New Delhi (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

Diwali Puja, 1st Day, Dhanteras [English Translation from Hindi] It is wonderful that we have awakened our powers that had already settled down there and we are lost in our own thoughts. But we have a lot of powers within us and all these powers have been bestowed on us by God. All of say, “God, God,” and everybody knows that He is everywhere, resides everywhere, and witnesses everything. And He witnesses everything we do with great love. Now you have come into His Kingdom. I have to tell you that I felt overjoyed to know that for the past many years, Sahaj Yoga has gained in speed remarkably. It means that people of Delhi have tremendous faith and are very social as well. I have been to so many other places where we had so much publicity, but I can’t say that everywhere people have transformed as much. You have to understand Sahaj Yoga fully and then you will have full authority over its blessings. If you recognise Sahaj, Sahaj will recognise you. It knows you and your status and what should be given to you. Now I am going to tell you that I came to Delhi a long ago and thought that Sahaj Yoga would establish very well in Delhi. The reason was that the government was shifted here from Calcutta. What was Sahaj was that all the government servants came here, and the government has started functioning here. This arrangement was to make you collective, and Read More …

10th Day of Navaratri, Dassehra Celebrations Sydney (Australia)

AuthorLeave a comment

Dassehra. Tenth day of Navaratri, Sydney (Australia), 21 October 2007. Mother looks at yoginis, smiles and says ‘Very happy’. Please sit comfortably. Today is the (indistinct) great day , isn’t it (ji) Dassera. [Yogis organize a microphone for Shri Mataji] Is it coming? Working?.. So today is Dassera, is a very big day in India.  They say on this day Ravana was killed. He was the worst enemy of human beings, and he was killed.  But whatever it is then, as a memory of that great man, Shri Ram, they celebrate today Dassera.  And on this day, they say, those who are dushtas,  means bad people or we can say negative, they are killed. Can you imagine?  (chuckles) So this day is regarded as a very important day in India, and they make a big statue of Ravana. You all know who was Ravana,  (yogis:  “Yes, Shri Mataji”) whom Shri Rama killed.  He was a horrible fellow and he took away the wife of Shri Ram, Sita, by force. But she was such a chaste woman that he couldn’t touch her. He tried; he couldn’t touch her. He couldn’t achieve any power over her. On the contrary she was very powerful. So at that time, Shri Rama’s mother-in-law,  I should say, who was the wife of Dasharata, she said  …she used to..she’s like a big saadhuni, and she said “that from today two marriages are not allowed, only one”.  So among Hindus there’s only one marriage. They don’t have two Read More …

Shri Raja Lakshmi Puja: Don’t waste your time in fighting New Delhi (India)

Author3 Comments

Shri Raja Lakshmi Puja (Hindi). Delhi (India), 7 December 1996. [Translation from Hindi] Around the Delhi, Sahaja Yoga is growing very fast. Delhi is a capital, people are power and money oriented, but even if it is like this, still they are seeking their self-realization and it is very surprising. It is like a picture, in that birds are flying, flowers, the rain and so on. You are feeling happy to see the picture, but it is important to see what is in that. It is very subtle and to raise the subtle thinking is very important. We have not achieved the truth and we are lost in these mythical things. Externally, because at ego one is thinking that he is very smart, and the others are thinking that they have achieved everything in life, so why should they need Sahaja Yoga? So, this way there are two kinds of people, some which are lost in their ego and others which are surrendered to wrong things. They both will never reach the truth. Once I met a person and I told him that you don’t have to do anything special to get your self- realization and the person replied “How come it is possible?”. I mean, to get your self-realization you don’t have to do anything special, you will get it very easily. So don’t waste your time on the people who think that they will achieve it on themselves. But not all are like this, many will transform in Read More …

Public Program – incomplete Barcelona (Spain)

Public Program, Barcelona, Spain, 11-10-1994 I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset, I would say that truth is what it is. We cannot change it, we cannot describe it. Unfortunately, at this human awareness, we cannot feel it. In the evolutionary process, we have come to a stage where we can say we are human beings. But still, we do not know the absolute truth. That’s why we have so many discussions, arguments, fights and wars. But it is important to understand that most of the world’s problems come from human beings. And most of the global problems come from these centres, the subtle centres within us. Whatever I am going to tell you tonight, you should not take it for granted. We have had lots of problems with blind faith. But keep your mind open and excited. And if it is truth, then you have to accept it as honest people. Because it is for the benevolence of your being. For the benevolence of your family, your country and the world at large. Because all your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual problems come because of the centres.  This is a special time – well is promised by all the scriptures, that you are going to ascend into a new awareness, into a new dimension. This is the last breakthrough of your evolutionary process…

Public Program [note = There are 5 audio tracks out of which 4&5 is realisation which is excluded from transcription here, (SR part on Video)] Track 1Shri Mataji: At the very outset we have to know that truth is what it is. We cannot change it, we cannot transform it, we cannot describe it, but, truth is that you have to feel this all pervading power of divine love on your central nervous system. Another truth is, fundamental one, that you are not this body, this mind, these emotions, this ego, these conditionings, but, you are pure spirit. This is what you have to become. You have to get to your selfhood. Just giving sermons and lectures or talking about it, it is not going to work out. It is the actualisation which is important. Unless and until you have the actualisation of this experience, you cannot become divine. The divinity within you is absolutely there intact. Nothing can disturb it because it is eternal. But it has been through our thinking, may be be our ignorance, call it anything, is covered as the sun can be covered with clouds. It is all there. But you are here, you are here as seekers and I respect you and I bow to you because you are seekers, seekers of truth. What do you have to find? You have to become the spirit. This is the most important point we have missed in our seeking. I know in this New York when Read More …

First we must feel the reality Hammersmith Town Hall, London (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

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

1990-08-26 Talk during Evening Program, Lanersbach, Austria, Concert of the sitar player Nishat Khan Shri Mataji:Hello, [testing the mike]. This is the raga as called as ‘Miyan ki Malhar’.’ Now ”Miyan” is a person, very well known in the history of India. His name was Tansen. Actually, I don’t know what his real name was, but this was a kind of an honour name given to him by ‘Akbar the Great’, who ruled in our country. And he was a very cosmopolitan man. He had married a Hindu lady also Jodha Bai. And this Akbar also wrote ‘Ain-i-Akbar’ which is something like, just like Sahaja Yoga. He tried to integrate all the religions and gave the best principle of all the religions. This was the great work Akbar had done. Now he was also, so fond of Indian music. He had Tansen in his court, where he looked after that man. Formerly, in our country, all the kings used to look after the artists, musicians, artists and all that. So, this, he made this special raga. He is known for this raga ‘Miyan ki Malhar ‘. And another one he has made, which is the very famous one, ‘Deepak’ raga. But that, nowadays nobody plays, which is the raga by which lights used to get enlightened. Like, he would play that raga and if you had all these little, little lamps, as we use in Diwali, they used to get light up. That was said about him. And when it Read More …

The dramas which are our cultural heritage, few of them are showing Sahaja culture that day You were also saying this, we should show such dramas, convince the people, we should buy the tickets and then force the people sit and watch them. Shri Mataji: (In Marathi) so what happened the day before yesterday we went to see a drama.

1989-08-09 Public Program Self-Realisation, Geneva, Switzerland … I mean to say that you should not feel guilty at all. Because, logically, what do we do if we feel guilty ? Make ourself miserable! that’s all! And after all we are human beings – only human beings can make mistakes. We are not gods! Moreover, this Divine Power I’m talking about is the ocean of forgiveness: so, what mistakes can you commit that it cannot dissolve? Second condition is that you have to forgive everyone. Now some may say it’s difficult to forgive. Now, logically, what do we do if we forgive or don’t forgive? What do we do? Nothing! What we do really, is to torture ourselves. We play in the hands of wrong people, and this centre then (Shri Mataji puts Her hand on Her forehead) catches very badly, and it’s a narrow door, the Kundalini stops. Then how can I give you Realisation? You are not going to miss your Realisation by not forgiving people, that means we play more into their hands, that you miss such an opportunity. I hope you are convinced now for both the conditions are absolutely important because we have to enter into the ocean of joy. The religion of Sahaja yoga is to know yourself and to enjoy. No austerities, no sacrifices, no crucifixion, nothing! You yourself will know what is enjoyable and what is not enjoyable. So I hope you will comply with these two conditions first and be pleasantly placed towards Read More …

Know your Spirit Barcelona (Spain)

Public Program Day 2 (Evening), Barcelona, Spain 19-05-1989 I bow to all the seekers of truth. We have to know that so far we do not know the absolute truth. So when we have gone wrong is that we depend on our human awareness all the time and we believe that we are right. And when we start working on those lines sometimes we find we have done a big mistake then we retrieve back and try to find another way. In everyday life or in our own planning and understanding of life we have no way to say definitely that this is right and this is wrong.  The reason is we have not yet reached that point which we can say that actually is truth. In our evolution we have become human beings and the human awareness has brought you many more evolved things than animals. For example, if you have to go through a dirty lane you would not do it but a dog and horse can just walk through. There are so many proofs if you notice that we are definitely very much evolved in our awareness compared to any other living beings.  Now when we think of a philosophy o any ideology, about any faith, any religion, there also when we follow it what we find that we haven’t got anything special about yourself. A Hindu, a Christian, a Muslim, a Sikh, any religion, can do any sinful thing. We cannot say that because we follow Read More …

AuthorLeave a comment

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. So, I have to experience, I have to come here, and see for Myself. But whatever I do in My imagination is of no value. And if we are honest, if we are really seeking, if we really want to know the truth about ourselves, we have to have an experience. Now, if somebody says, that: “I give you the experience”, or he says that: “I am God” or: “I am something great”, must you believe that person? Many people have believed in all religions. Hindus have believed in religion, Muslims have believed, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, all have believed in something. But this belief did not transform you, did not give you power to follow the religion. We can take the case of Christians, where it was said by Christ, that: “In the Ten Commandment, it is written that: ‘Thou shall not commit adultery’, but I say unto you: ‘Thou shall not have adulterous eyes.’” But those who believe in Christ, or believe in church, have they got pure eyes?

Public Program. Guild Hall, Derby (UK), 1 August 1984. I bow to all the seekers of truth. It’s a great pleasure to come to Derby, and I must extend My apologies for getting late as the train was late from London. We are here today to know about the truth, about what we are, about what we are going to be. All these questions relate to the unknown knowledge of our roots. Whatever we know from science or from any other mental projection is the knowledge of the tree. This is the knowledge of the roots which nourishes us, which gives us growth, which gives us desire, which works out all our actions, physical and mental, and which evolves us. The problem is when we are dealing with the tree as in the West we seldom forget that the tree has to be related to the growth of the root. When in the West the tree was growing was so fast, in the East, in India, people were understanding, trying to meditate, about the roots. As the East has to learn scientific ways from the West, the Western people have to learn about the roots. There’s nothing to think that something is higher than lower. The roots have no meaning without the tree and tree has no existence without the roots. Whether you are born in the East, West, North or South, all of us have got a human body and human body is a very special thing that God Read More …

Agnya chakra. Delhi (India), 3 February 1983. Today we are going to understand the centre of Agnya. Agnya Chakra, which is placed on the crossing of the ‘optic chiasma.’ The nerves that supply the eyes go backwards in the opposite direction and wherever they cross, this subtle centre is situated. It has a continuous connection with the other centres through the ‘medulla oblongata.’ This centre has got two petals. And this subtle centre on one side acts through the eyes and at the back of the head where you have some protrusion. This is the physical side of this centre is. Now the people who talk of the third eye, this is the third eye. So that we have two eyes with which we see and there is a third eye which is a subtler eye through which we can see. If you see this eye, that means you are away from it. For example, if you can see your eyes that means you are seeing your reflection, not the reality. If you see anything that means you are looking at it. So those people who say they see an eye for example people who take LSD and all such things, they start seeing another eye. They just see this eye and they think their third eye has opened. Actually, you are very much away from the eye, that is why you can see it.
