10th Day of Navaratri, Dassehra Celebrations Sydney (Australia)
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 …
6th Day of Navaratri, On Drinking Sydney (Australia)
Sashti. Sixth night of Navaratri, Sydney (Australia), 17 October 2007. Shri Mataji: This is too small. (speaks in Hindi) You can get a good hall here, very easily. Actually I never knew that there’s a programme otherwise I would have told you. Here also, come along, there is room here. Can you hear me there? (Yogis ‘YES!’) Come forward, here put the piano that side in the corner? Why is she crying? What has she got, a cake? (laughter) What is this? Yogi: A gift, Shri Mataji Shri Mataji: Ah. Oh! Very beautiful, (Mother is shown a large decorated plate) Who’s done it? Yogi: Maria and Sue Shri Mataji: You did? Very good,very beautiful, absolutely good. Everything. What’s her name? Yogi: Sue Williams Shri Mataji: Thank you very much, very beautifully done. You can’t move further? Who is the leader here (laughter) He is the leader? So why couldn’t you get a bigger place? Yogi: Shri Mataji, we could find a bigger place but we did not want to have to transport you from here – less moving for you. Your comfort is our only desire Shri Mataji, so yogis are happy, so long as you’re comfortable. Shri Mataji: Ha! (laughter) You are all Sahaja Yogis, and there should not be controversy between you. You should all think of the same thing, isn’t it? I feel sorry so many standing outside. Come in, come in! Can you move the piano behind? Can you all hear me? (YES!) Those Como people Read More …
2nd Day of Navaratri, Satisfy the Swadishthan Sydney (Australia)
Second day of Navaratri, October 13, 2007, Sydney, Australia Come here also, come in, sit here, another one also (talking to people), come forward. There are people who could not sit. Can you go and see if every one is inside? Sorry, I didn’t know you were all here. Now she said. So, I said, “All right”. Shri Mataji: You can hear Me there? Sahaja Yogis: Yes, Shri Mataji. Shri Mataji: All of you? Sahaja Yogis: Yes, Shri Mataji. Shri Mataji: Those who can’t hear Me raise your hand! [laughter; applause] Shri Mataji: All right, thank you. [laughter] Want something? Come forward. Are you all right? So you’d better sing one song. I’m sorry they told me now there are people waiting. Very nice to see you all so happy here. Today is the second day and is a very important day from the point of evolution. As you know, that our second Chakra is very important, that’s why today is very important. So what is the second Chakra? Do you know what is the second Chakra? Ah! What did they say? Sahaja Yogi: Swadishthan. Shri Mataji: You must tell loudly! Swadishthan is the Chakra, is very important, because in this Kali Yuga, Swadishthana works the most. We have so many agents, [Shri Mataji smiles], to make it work and work very hard. You know what is in the second Chakra. In the second Chakra, what happens? That we are caught up by our ambition, and the ambition makes you Read More …
How the mind is controlling us? Darling Harbour, Sydney (Australia)
Public Program, Darling Harbour Convention Centre, Sydney, Australia, 4 March 1996. [Till 3.38 yogis singing devotional song ‘Jai Shri Ganesha 4.40 to 9.45 devotional song ‘Mother’s Joy’ 10.12 to 33.55 Welcome address, background on Sahaj Yoga, introduction to Sahaj System and Chakras 34.00 to 42.12 yogis sing devotional song Sitting in the Heart of the Universe 43.20 to 50.25 yogis sing Sri Jagdambe 52.07 to 1.00.34 yogis sing Udaya Udaya 58.20 Shri Mataji comes in 1.01.20 to 1.03.58 Introduction of Mataji 1.04.30] I bow to all the seekers of Truth. At the very outset, I have to tell you that Truth is what it is. You cannot change it. You cannot describe it. You have to experience it. And you cannot pay for it. You can only discover it through the last breath of your evolutionary process which is a living process into a new awareness, into a new dimension. Now whatever I am telling you, please don’t accept blindfold. We have had enough problems with the blind faith. If you do experience, if you do get the results of whatever I am saying, you have to accept is as honest people, because it is for your good, for the good of the family, for the good of your country, for the good of the whole world. We talk of peace. Now where does this war come in? From where the ideas of fighting and quarrelling come in? It comes from your mind. Now look at this mind. What it Read More …
Mahashivaratri Puja: Motivate your attention Bundilla Scout Camp, Sydney (Australia)
“Motivate your attention”, Mahashivaratri Puja. Bundilla Scout Camp, Sydney (Australia), 3 March 1996. Today we are going to do puja to Shiva, Shri Shiva. As you know, Shri Shiva is the reflection of Sadashiva within us. I’ve already told about the reflection. Sadashiva is the God Almighty, the one who sees the play of Adi Shakti. But He is the Father who is watching each one of His Creation or Her Creation. His support to Adi Shakti is entirely, fully strengthening. There’s no doubt in His mind about the capability of the Adi Shakti. But when He finds that in the play of Adi Shakti, the people or the world as such, try to disturb Her, or to spoil Her work, then He gets into His wrathful mood, and He destroys all such people, and maybe, He destroys the whole world. On one side He’s wrathful, no doubt, on the other side, He is the ocean of compassion and joy. That’s why, when He is reflected within us, we get our Self-Realization, we get the light of our Spirit and we get into the ocean of joy.Also He is the ocean of knowledge, so those who get Self-Realized get the knowledge of the Divine, which is very subtle, permeating into every atom and molecule, the power of this knowledge is there. His style is such that, in his compassion, He forgives even very cruel rakshasas, if they dedicate themselves to Him. Because His compassion has no limits and sometimes the Read More …
Farewell Talk Sydney airport (Kingsford Smith), Sydney (Australia)
Talk at the Airport. Sydney (Australia), 28 February 1995. We have had really a very beautiful Shiva Puja here. It was never so good before, and so many people there. Everybody’s heart was opening. It was really, in the land of, as if Shiva we were in there. So I’ve told you about what is to be done, to develop detachment, and to understand. I know lots of things from your Kundalini, and some people still have problem with agnya, left nabhi, right nabhi. This all can be cured, if you, just know that you are the Pure Spirit and you have to become that. This is not difficult. Only thing is you must have confidence in yourself, and also respect, respect for everything. What we have in this culture so called, no respect. Respect your body. Respect your relations. Agnya can, run away you see, fast, all the problems of agnya, if you know how to respect. Respect the Mother Earth, and everything will be fine. It doesn’t mean if you respect somebody that means you are subservient. You are not. Respect shows your growth, your maturity. I find it difficult even, to tell people when they are very very wrong. It’s very difficult, very embarrassing, and to publicly tell that is even more embarrassing, but supposed to be My job so sometimes I have to do it. But I don’t like it. All those people whom I’ve tried to tell they should really, work it out, because you’ll Read More …
Mahashivaratri Puja: How To Get Detached and Ascend Castle Mountain Camp, Wisemans Ferry (Australia)
Mahashivaratri Puja 26 February 1995, Australia Today we have gathered here to do the Puja to Sadashiva. The One, which is reflected within us, is the Shiva, which is the pure Spirit. This pure Spirit within us is the reflection of God Almighty, Sadashiva. It’s like the sun that falls in the water and gives a clear reflection. Or else it falls on the stone, it doesn’t give any reflection at all. If you have, say, the mirror, the sun will not only fall on the mirror but will reflect back its light. In the same way in the human beings the reflection of God Almighty is expressed in the way your personality is. If your personality is clean and clear, innocent, then the reflection could be like a mirror. Thus the saintly people, they reflect God Almighty in the proper manner, in the sense that their own identification with wrong things is no more. When there is no such identification and when a person is absolutely the pure Spirit, then the reflection of God reflects into others. Luckily you all have got your Self Realization. That means the reflection of God Almighty is already working into your attention. The attention is enlightened by the power of the spirit. The power of the spirit is that it is a reflection. That means the reflection is never identified with the mirror or with the water. It is there till the sun shines, and when there is no sun there is no Read More …
Evening Program, Eve of Mahashivaratri Puja Castle Mountain Camp, Wisemans Ferry (Australia)
Evening Program before Mahashivaratri Puja, Castle Mountain Camps, Wiseman’s Ferry, near Newcastle, NSW, Australia. [At the end of the evening program, after a play has been performed by sahaja yogis about Shiva, the three Shaktis and the time of creation, and the gift of knowledge to Eve; then the progressive separation of human beings from Divine dharma, and the request for support of the Shaktis to Dattatreya, who listens and sends His incarnations on the Earth to try and restore the balance in a lost and misled humanity. Finally, when Shiva is going to start the destruction, the Shaktis propose to send the Mother, the only One who can awaken the Power in human beings, making them enlightened masters of their own. Shiva agrees and, listening to Shri Mataji’s Breath, the protagonists assume spontaneously a position of meditation. The play ends with all sahaja yogis singing “Swagat. Agat. Swagatam” (Welcome) to Shri Mataji.] Congratulations to Brian Bell and to all the… (applause). I said congratulations to Brian Bell (applause) (inaudible words during clapping) and to all the actors and actresses. (Applause) To be very frank I never think of my past (Shri Mataji laughs, laughter). So I was wondering what is this drama going about (laughter). The most important thing in this life is to enlighten as many people as possible. I am very much thankful to you for expressing your joy, your talents to express the reality. Reality is not in which what we believe but it is beyond. Read More …
Achieving the last breakthrough of our evolution State Theatre, Sydney (Australia)
Public Program. Sydney (Australia), 21 February 1995. I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset we have to know what is the truth. There are so many seekers of truth in these modern times which has been predicted that there will be many people who will be seeking the truth now as ordinary householders. Their life will be completely transformed in these modern times. They call it in the Koran as Kiama. In the Bible it’s called as the Last Judgment. Every religion has talked about these modern times as something very fantastic that our lives will be transformed. So what is the truth we are seeking? We should know what is the truth we are seeking. Firstly, we are seeking peace within ourselves. Secondly, we are seeking something we do not know, and that something is the Spirit within ourselves. Many scriptures have described that you have to seek your spirit and many are preaching about it. But it seems they are not very Spirit-oriented. They are more money-oriented or power-oriented, and that is why the whole attention of a seeker is diverted and deviated into something which is not really Divine. So what we are seeking is the Spirit within us which is the source of absolute truth, absolute joy and absolute self-knowledge. You have already heard about these different centers that are within us which are being built during our evolution as human beings. We have reached up to a point where still Read More …

Arrival Talk Melbourne Airport, Melbourne (Australia)
Informal Talk to Yogis. Melbourne Airport (Australia), 19 February 1995. I never expected you all here but, very happy to see you, that our, Melbourne has grown so much so beautifully. You all look so nice. It was, quite a struggle to begin with, but it had worked out and we all have come together now, in such a beautiful way. There were many in Ganapatipule I couldn’t talk to you directly, that time. How many got married in Ganapatipule? This time. None from Melbourne. But there were many Australians married. All right next time. What I was told that most of the young boys and young girls are married now and we had a problem, because the boys were all about six feet and all the girls were below five feet. But when I told them that they said: ‘Mother You are so concerned about heights so, we are very thankful You can marry us and we don’t mind.’ So I said: ‘It’s good.’ Otherwise see, sometimes only on height people fight. It seems children are very happy in the school and they are enjoying there. Now I’ve started a new thing again, is a gymnasium, where you have to learn gyms and you have to develop your bodies to be Mr Universe. Such a nice, family of ours, and the way things are working out all over the world, it’s very, joy-giving for Me. It’s all so easy for Sahaja Yoga. Just have to meditate and, penetrate more Read More …
We have to know the Absolute Truth Brisbane (Australia)
Public Program. Brisbane (Australia), 17 April 1994. I bow to all the seekers of truth.At the very outset, I have to tell you that truth is what it is: you cannot change it, you cannot conceptualize it, you cannot know it unfortunately at this human awareness. A little bit more of our evolutionary process has to take place.You have been alreayd told about the centres thatwe have within ourselves and how we get our self realisation. Regarding this I have to say that you should not believe me, whatever I have to say, blindfolded. We have had enough of problems with blindfolded faiths. But you must keep your mind open like a scientist, because whatever I say is proved, then you have to accept as honest people, because it is for the benevolence of your being, benevolence of your family, benevolence of your city, of your country and the whole world.Today the problems you are facing, all kind of problems are due to the jeopardy of these centres. When these centres go into trouble, we have problems at human level. And the problems of the world are mostly because of human beings.If, by some means, we know about this, we become aware of it. Knowing is not, just in a lecture, but to be aware of it. And if you know how to correct it, then you are all right physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually you are all right.So the truth is that you are not this body, this mind, these Read More …
Talk to Sahaja Yogis Wamuran Ashram, Brisbane (Australia)
Talk at Wamuran Ashram, Queensland (Australia). 13 April 1994. [Full talk: from video…] Shri Mataji; Sit here, in front… so that everybody… Please be seated. It’s already become… The sun has gone behind the…no, just come this way a little bit. Also there could be… no no, you are alright… see all of them could be… You could remove the table if you like. Yah, you could come this way. So, we have a very nice place for us to come to and to be in the nature, uh… as they say, ‘Far from the madding crowd’. It’s very good for meditation and for enjoying your being within. As I have already told you in New Zealand, that the whole thing is ruined because of money-orientation. Money has become so important. It has gone to the other end – so much so that it has created a very paradoxical culture. Certain things I’ve been reading and I have been really shocked. The other day I read that two children killed their parents – machine gunned them, in Pennsylvania – because the parents were very kind to them and they developed a feeling that, ‘They are nice to us because they want to kill us.’ And so they went and killed. I mean, imagine the psychology: how this psychology is built with children, why they become so perverted? When we have hopes from children now, not from the old people so much who are already not coming to Sahaja Yoga Read More …
Innately are we righteous? Canberra (Australia)
Public Program. Canberra (Australia), 8 April 1994. I think you can go down, there lots of seats still vacant. I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset I have to tell you that truth is what it is. You cannot transform it, change it and unfortunately at this human awareness you cannot know it. Now whatever I am going to tell you today, you need not believe blind folded, you have already suffered a lot because of blind faith. But if it is proved, then as honest people you have to accept it. Because it is for the benevolence of your being, for the benevolence of your society, your city, your country and the world at large. So one has to understand that we have not known so far the absolute truth. If we had known the absolute truth, there would not have been any problems whatsoever. Because everybody would seethe same truth. There cannot be so many types, dogmas, so many discussions, arguments whys and whats. If everybody sees the same point then who will fight? For example I am sitting before you, you all see it clearly and you know it. You are not going to fight that I am here or not. For that we need the last breakthrough of our evolution. As human beings, still, we have freedom to think whatever we like but we haven’t got capacity to know the absolute truth. If that is so and if there is a Read More …
Farewell Talk to Sahaja Yogis: Listen to Me and also try to follow what I say Sydney (Australia)
Farewell Talk. Burwood Ashram, Sydney (Australia). 7 April 1994. So, thank you very much for the greetings on this day. It was a Easter Monday when I got married that day, and also My baptism took place on Easter Monday. But you know our Easter Monday always changes according to the Monday it comes. So it was quite a big venture for Me to marry. Actually, I did not need it at all. But as you know in India, they won’t spare any girl from marriage, and they have been after My life since I was about eighteen years of age. So somehow I managed. But I was in the medical college Lahore, and suddenly the disturbances broke out there, of a very serious nature. And I came back, and there was no possibility of My going back. Then the whole thing – planned, I think Divine planned it for My marriage, because I had to accept them. And as My husband was there, there were many proposals also, which they chose this one, and I was married. In a way arranged, because I had never talked to him about it, he had not talked to Me, but he had seen Me once before. So, for Me it was all right because everybody’s so much worried in My family about My marriage all the time. But all throughout I feel that I looked after My husband’s relations, family, though he had none. He had only one sister whose grandson is Read More …
An Ancient Knowledge Sydney Town Hall, Sydney (Australia)
Public Program. Sydney (Australia), 6 April 1994.1I bow to all the Seekers of TruthI am very thankful to Mr Henry Tsang, for addressing you and introducing me to you, that’s verykind of him. It is the one the very rare occasions, where I have seen people in authority haveunderstood my work and have tried to help me.Whatever he said is really very remarkable, that all these greater people like Lao-Tse, who startedTaoism, Buddha, who was teaching Buddhism, all of them talked about the oneness of HumanBeing with the nature. And if you cannot combine nature with yourself, then you cannot be calledas an evolved soul.In that thing I was telling him about Yangtze river where he comes from same state Yangtze. ThatYangtze river I travelled through with my husband and it’s the one Lao-Tse has used for describinga human ascent. It’s a river which goes in different angles and makes lots of currents and it’s verydangerous to ply through that, but they are having an… now a tourist arrangement to go throughthat and my husband as he was in marine time, they invited us to see them.So in that the message was that, you see, you are passing through a very beautiful land. You seeacross the banks, beautiful trees and very beautiful mountains, which you see in the paintings ofChinese. They are really like that, but you should not get lost. You have to go further, you can watchthese.. all these beautiful scenes, sit down there, enjoy yourself, but still Read More …
Interview Burwood Ashram, Sydney (Australia)
1994-0406 Interview Burwood Ashram Sydney Australia Interviewer: Shri Mataji, can we start at the very beginning, ‘what is the need to achieve self-realization?’ Shri Mataji: If you see the problems of this world today, you can easily find out that most of them are because of some sort of a problem which is existing among human beings. Some are aware of it, and some are not. You take the physical, you take the mental, spiritual, social, political, religious. So, that shows one thing that we have not yet known the Absolute Truth. We have Unclear (know, no) yet that light in which we can see the Absolute Truth. And if there is a method by which you can advance in your evolutionary process, and have a break through into reality then these problems can be solved. And that’s why self-realization is eminent for us and is already planned by the Divine. Interviewer: So, what kind of system, what kind of subtle system do we have that enables us to achieve the self-realization? Shri Mataji: There is a system within us which we can call as the mechanism which achieve this happening through a connecting chord or the premule of our seed which we call as Kundalini. So, the Truth is that we are not this body, this mind, this social life that we lead or the ego that we have or the conditionings but we are the pure Spirit. And another truth is that there is a all-pervading power of Read More …
Picnic, Talk to Sahaja Yogis Lane Cove National Park, Sydney (Australia)
Lane Talk at Lane Cove National Park, near Sydney, Australia. 5 April 1994. What a beautiful place to come to, isn’t it? I have been here before also. You have such nice places on the outskirts. On the outskirts you have really very nice places in Sydney and this picnicking has helped you to make your collectivity better. That’s how they started having picnics and in the picnics they developed the collectivity, which is very beautiful to be one with the nature, see the bounty of the nature and the variety that they have. Is a innate feeling inside always that you should be one with the nature, that you should enjoy the nature. I mean, it’s maybe because they say we have evolved from animals so we like nature, you see [Shri Mataji laughs]. But it’s so much round, so much your temperament, everything when you see the nature and start seeing it, how it obeys the laws which govern it. Now see, if you see every leaf, any leaf, is not comparable with another leaf, if you put it under microscope they’ll be all differently made. So the variety’s so much in the nature, but still how they abide together. And the greatest thing they have is that always the desire to get the sunlight. And every leaf, every branch tries to give chance to another leaf and another branch, that they all get the sunlight. If you have to see collectivity, really you see in a jungle Read More …
Easter Puja: The responsibility on you is much more than on Christ Bundilla Scout Camp, Sydney (Australia)
Easter Puja. Sydney (Australia), 3 April 1994. I’m happy to know so many of you have come here – and I feel this is a very important Puja, not only for Australia but for the whole world, because it has the greatest message which we have actualised now in Sahaja Yoga. We have to understand the message of Christ. There are many people in this world who try to show off that they are very great rationalists and that they have a right to pass any remark they like about Christ. I was reading the newspapers today, I was surprised where they are all saying one by one that, “I reject this part of Christ that He was born with Immaculate Conception. I reject that He was resurrected. I reject this and I reject that.” Who are you? Because you can write, because you have a flair, how can you say such things? Just without finding out. You are a scholar, maybe you are very well read, maybe that you think you are capable of saying whatever you like about any subject, but the subject of spirituality cannot be dealt by people who are not even Self Realised. Because it’s a very divine life, it’s a very different life. It’s an area where your mind cannot enter. It is beyond the mind. And so the poets or artists, all of them who have worked on Christ’s life and have tried to say things about him, mostly were realised souls and, Read More …
Talk, Money in Sahaja Yoga, Eve Of Easter Puja Bundilla Scout Camp, Sydney (Australia)
Talk before Concert at Bundilla Camp. Sydney (Australia), 2 April 1994. I’m very happy to see all of you here and that now we have so many Sahaja Yogis in Australia. I think Australia has got the second position in Sahaja Yoga. Of course the first position if you exclude [interruption in recording] in the sense that if you exclude Russia and the Eastern bloc, then I would say maximum number of Sahaja Yogis we have now in Austria and the second is in Australia. Today I was late because a phone had (Shri Mataji corrects herself) phone call had come from Austria and they were trying to talk to Me and I was just wondering how it’s such a coincidence. Now, we have started in a very bumpy way, I should say to begin with Australian Sahaja Yoga – we had funny leaders and lots of problems were there. But somehow or other, now we are settling down and we have a very nice group here and that people understand the value of Sahaja Yoga. One thing about Australia is that it’s a very far off place, a very exclusive place and it was surprising to Me that how Sahaja Yoga prospered here so fast and so easily. Perhaps maybe one of the reasons that you are little far away, sometimes I don’t know something that I should know, and I know something I need not know. So the Australians always write very, very long letters (Shri Mataji laughs), Read More …
Picnic Maroondah Dam, Melbourne (Australia)
Picnic , Maroondah Dam, Melbourne (Australia) 31-3-1994 That time I used to be so happy that you people all have joined together, the collectivity is good and that you are helping the leader, who is very capable, I must say, you are so lucky to have such a leader who is so capable, educated, wise and I can’t understand how people do not enjoy his leadership. If you have any problems, tell Me – no harm. You see, from Australia I get such thick letters always [UNCLEAR – WHEN THEY WRITE?] but the main thing they never write. Like, I never wanted them to go to America because America is a Hell, you see. I didn’t want them, they’ll lose their vibrations – I mean, it’s not a place to go to and without asking Me they all went. Otherwise for a small thing like putting a WC somewhere, they’ll write to Me but for going to America no body wrote, I never knew, I was surprised to see thirty five people coming on top of these few four, five sahaja yogis there. And the way they talked to these people also shocked [ASIDE – Paani Dena (Give Water)] They are actually very, very good sahaja yogis; They are few, very few but one better than the other – wonderful people they are! And gradually they are spreading sahaja yoga in a very good way. So, they told Me that some of the sahaja yogis who went from America, they Read More …
Know your inner self fully Camberwell Civic Centre, Melbourne (Australia)
Public Program, Melbourne (Australia). 30 March 1994. I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset, I have to tell you that truth is what it is. You cannot change it; you cannot transform it; you cannot conceptualize it. It is what it is; it was what it was and it will be what it will be. Whatever, I want to tell you today, I have to request you, to keep your mind open, like scientist. You need not believe into what I say. We have had enough of problems with blind faith. But keep your minds open in case this proves; then you have to believe, believe in it. If you are honest people, you have to believe in it. Because it is for the benevolence of your individual self, for the benevolence of your city, your country and world at large. Most of the problems of this world come from human beings; humbly we must admit. There something wrong somewhere that we create problems. And these problems come to human beings when there is a problem with these centres here as explained to you. Now these centres do exist. These are energy centres within you. And when they are, (Mother speaks aside, Thank you, (Lawrence?) thank you, its cold, I don’t like, I like, just ordinary (glass of water)) these centres, when they go into jeopardy, we have this problem of human beings behaving in funny manners. When this power, which is within us, which Read More …
Talk to Sahaja Yogis: About Christians habits Perth (Australia)
Informal Talk Perth (Australia), 28 March 1994. Yesterday I was really enamored there are so many people you see and all very deep and sensible people. First time I see such a group, all of them, and none of them was making any fun or funny remarks, nothing. Except for all those who came on the stage most of them had agnya. I was quite surprised because when I asked them they said we are Christians and I said how can you have agnya, I said to have agnya for Christians? But maybe after thinking I feel that when we do against the teachings of Christ and claim to be Christians then Christ himself gets angry with us, thats very important to understand for him character was the biggest “Shila”(*). “Shila” as they call it in Buddhas philosophy it was called as “Shila” and also we have Mahavira on the same level who talked about it, so at this level what is the level of tapasia, the level where you have to go through penance, this area important thing is “Shila” is your character how you build it, your moral sense how you develop it. This is very important to understand that Christ stood for moral sense much more than all the prophets. They talked about dharma, they said you must have, you shouldn’t do this, you shouldn’t do that, all those things, but Christ made it subtler, and he said you must have innately built in “Shila” is character, Read More …
The Primordial Mother is with you Octagon Theatre, Perth (Australia)
Public Program, Perth (Australia). 27 March 1994. I bow to all the seekers of truth.At the very outset I have to say that truth is what it is. You cannot change it, you cannot describe it and you cannot conceptualize it. It is, it has been and it will be. Now whatever I’m going to tell you today, you need not accept it blindfolded. We have had enough of trouble with blind faiths, but you must keep your mind open, like a scientist and if it proves to be alright, if it proves what I am saying, as honest people you must accept it, because it is for the benevolence of your being, for the benevolence of your city, of your country, of the whole world. Now, I would like to tell you what is the truth. The truth is, that you’re not this body, this mind, this ego, these conditionings, you’re not that. But you are the pure spirit. This is the first truth about you. And the second truth is, that there is a all-pervading power of Divine Love. I hope you are all hearing me alright. Are you alright? There’s a all- pervading power of Divine love. Is called by various names in the scriptures. For example in the Bible it’s called as the Cool Breeze of the Holy Ghost, also all-pervading power of Divine Love. Is called as ‘ruhx’ in Koran, in Sanskrit it is called as ‘Brahma Chaitanya’ or ‘Ritambhara PrAgnya’, by Patanjali Yoga Shastra. Read More …
Farewell Talk of Australia Tour and Pre-Birthday Celebrations Sydney (Australia)
Final Talk of Australian Tour before Departure. Burwood Ashram Sydney (Australia), 5 March 1992. So, the time has come to say farewell to all of you. I must say this time our Tour has been really very successful. There have been no obstructions no problems nothing, except for one stupid article, we had no problem and which they are going to look after. On the whole, we have learnt a lot this time and I think everybody has been feeling very much better because of Shivratri Puja. I’ve got reports from other countries that they said Mother: ‘What did You do this time on Shivratri that we all felt so much higher and better’. Now the, few things I have to tell you that, luckily you have a very good National leader here, who has brought you all round very wise person, and he is a very gentle as well as very sensible person, and who has done, such a good work that really I must say it’s very remarkable, and now I have decided to separate his work with National. See we Indians feel very hot anywhere. We have too much of sun within us I think. So, there, one has to be thankful for that, that you have such a nice leader here. Now I have to tell all the people specially from Melbourne, that you should not take things into your hands, and start another sort of an organization, arbitrarily doing something under some lady like that Read More …
The whole ocean of knowledge is within yourself University of New South Wales, Sydney (Australia)
Public Program. University of New South Wales, Sydney (Australia), 4 March 1992. I bow to all the seekers of truth.At the very outset we have to know that truth is what it is. The absolute truth cannot be changed, cannot be conceptualized. Above all, unfortunately, at this human awareness we cannot feel it and we cannot understand it. Now, whatever I am going to tell you about yourself you have to take a scientific attitude and keep a open mind. If it is proved, then you have to accept as honest people because this is for your benevolence, your emancipation, for the emancipation of the whole world. We have science, all faculties of sciences, but all these human endeavors have boomeranged on us in the way we have produced hydrogen bomb, oxygen bomb,atomic bomb on one side and on the other side a lot of artificial things which are dangerous for us. So where did we go wrong? Why should it happen to us, because the mental process is linear? It moves in one line and after some time it gives way and turns down. So, it has to be something beyond that mental process that should give us the wisdom and the balance, and that’s how we have today so many people who are seeking the truth honestly. Of course, some are identified with some dogmas or something and want to carry on like that. That’s a different point. But there are some people who are intelligent enough to Read More …
Chakras soothe you Wollongong (Australia)
Public Program, Wollongong (Australia), 4 March 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 change, it we cannot transform it, unfortunately we cannot also know it at human awareness. Whatever they have told you about this mechanism with in us and whatever I am going to tell you about yourself you have to treat it like a hypothesis and you have to keep your mind open like a scientist. If it is proved that as honest people I hope, you will recognise it. This instrument definitely lies within us. We are not aware of it. Of course, in the medical science they have talked about the plexuses at different levels of our spinal cord. And also, in the brain, they have talked about the crossing of the optic chiasma. Above that as the limbic area which we call as the one thousand petaled lotus.In the Bible it is described that, “I will appear before you like tongues of flames “. These tongues of flames are like petals, beautifully coloured as you see here, there are different colours to every set and they are extremely soothing to look at. They look like flames but they don’t burn. They soothe you. As it is now, we have to understand that there is a fundamental truth about yourself and that is you are not this body, this mind, this ego, these conditionings, this intelligence, emotions, Read More …
After Self-Realization you speak the language of the Chakras Sydney Town Hall, Sydney (Australia)
Public Program Day 2. Sydney (Australia), 3 March 1992. [Sahaja Yogis sing the great mantras then the song “Vishwa vandita”] [Talk starts at 11:38] I’m happy that they could sing all this. I bow to all the seekers of Truth. [No sound up to 12:42] … absolute Truth. Now, the truth is that there is an All-pervading power of God’s love which does all the living work in this Universe. The second truth is that we are not this body, mind, this intellect or this ego or conditionings but we are the pure Spirit. When the Kundalini rises through these six centers it of course, integrates your being. That is, there’s no quarrel between your mind, your heart and your attention. You become completely integrated and so empowered that you can enjoy their integration. When you become the Spirit, what happens to us – to understand that we have to understand the nature of the Spirit. Spirit is the reflection of God Almighty on our heart. We are the reflectors. These reflectors start working since we were stones, we can call them or matter, then living creatures, till we reach a state when we are human beings, the Spirit is expressed in our heart, in the best way. But it is still in a witness state watching us all the time what we are doing. It doesn’t come into our attention – He’s just watching but when the Kundalini rises and pierces through your fontanel bone area – so this Read More …
Sensitivity to Spirituality is Important Sydney Town Hall, Sydney (Australia)
Public Program Day 1. Sydney (Australia), 2 March 1992. Welcoming address by Deputy Lord Mayor of Sydney Mr. Henry Tsang. [Shri Mataji speaks from minute 16:26.] I would like to thank you very much, the Deputy Mayor, sir, for your kind introduction to the subject of yoga. In Sahaja Yoga… Yoga means your connection with the all-pervading power of God’s love which we call as “Self-realisation” which is really very important because once it happens, automatically all those things that are promised in the yoga system of Buddhism or yoga system in Zen, Tao, anything – is the same as being practiced in ancient times in India in yoga. It is called as Sahaja Yoga: “sahaj” means “spontaneous” because it is the yoga of the living process of your evolutionary process. That’s why it is called as “sahaj”. Sahaj means “born with you”: Born with you is the right to have this spontaneous union with the divine power which is all-pervading. As it is we are not aware of this power but it exists. If you see these flowers, you see yourself – how you are made? Who has done this great job of evolutionary process? It has been done by some power and that power is the all-pervading power of God’s love which is described in all the scriptures everywhere. Buddha was so anxious about the Self-realisation and meditation that he said, “First let us not talk only of God. Let us not talk. Let us talk of the Read More …
Evening Program and Talk to Sahaja Yogis The Day after Mahashivaratri Puja Glenrock Scout Camp, Newcastle (Australia)
Day after Shivaratri Puja, Talk to Sahaja Yogis, Laguna of Glenrock, Newcastle, (Australia), March 1st, 1992 I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s puja very much. Today I wanted to talk to you about certain matters where people get quite confused. There are certain things we must understand in Sahaja Yoga. First point there is no fundamentalism in Sahaja Yoga. Nobody should use My words or say: ‘Mother said so’, nobody should. That is how all this hierarchies have been built, in the churches, everywhere. Everybody can read, everybody can find out. There is no way of controlling people by saying: ‘Mother said so’. That shows that you are trying to use My Words to tell people off. You are not in charge. If I say something in the program of Sahaja Yogis, I say it because it is heart to heart talk between My children and Myself, you see. And it should not be just sent over through your computers all over the world without consulting, without censoring it by the leader. There’s no haste in Sahaja Yoga. So that should not be done. Now this I have said, definitely. Whatever I’ve said nobody remembers, only they use My Name. Mother said so in 1970. In 1970 I never spoke in English. So all this historical utterances should not be used. We live in the present. That time maybe, the situation was such I might have said something, but today the situation is different. Maybe because Sahaja Yogis were just coming Read More …
