Swadishthan, Thinking, Illness Part 2 Hilton Hotel Sydney, Sydney (Australia)
Public Program Day 2, “Swadishthan, Thinking, Illness”. Hilton hotel, Sydney (Australia), 17 March 1990. I bow to all the seekers of truth. I’m happy you all are enjoying this music and this dancing, and about these artists I have to say that after coming to Sahaja Yoga, at a very young age they achieved such mastery. Because, when the Kundalini rises, as I told you, She enriches your centres. The centre about which I was going to talk to you today is the centre of creativity (Swadishthan) which looks after your power of action, physical and mental. This power of action moves on the right side of the spinal cord and coming to the optic chiasma, it crosses over, passes to the left side and creates an institution called ego. The institution of ego is a myth. What we do is to get something dead, like some trees dead so make some platform or some furniture. We take some stones and make a hall, and we think we have done a great job. Actually, what we have done is to reconstructed the dead, but while doing it we get the feeling that we have done it, something. That is how our ego develops. This channel on the right-hand side caters to your future. So those people who plan too much, think too much, exhaust the energy of this centre because this centre has the first responsibility to convert the fat cells in the stomach for the use of the brain, Read More …
Swadishthan, Thinking, Illness Part 1 Hilton Hotel Sydney, Sydney (Australia)
Public Program Day 1, “Swadishthan, Thinking, Illness”. Hilton hotel, Sydney (Australia), 16 March 1990. I bow to all the seekers of truth. You have to know that truth is what it is. We cannot conceptualise it with our human awareness. We cannot order it, we cannot manipulate it, we cannot organise it. It is what it is, has been and will be. And what is the truth? Truth is that we are surrounded or we are penetrated or we are nourished, looked after and loved by a very subtle energy which is the energy of divine love. The second truth is that we are not this body, this mind, these conditionings, this ego, but we are the Spirit. You don’t have to accept what I’m saying blindly, because blind faith leads to fanaticism. But as scientists you must keep your minds open and see for yourself what I’m saying: if it is so, honestly you must accept it. We know so much through science about our civilisation, our advancement. This is the advancement of a tree which has grown outside very much; but if we do not know our roots, we’ll be destroyed. So, it is important to know about our roots. And this is what it is that I would say are our roots. As you can see, there are seven centres within us, and these subtle centres are placed in the spinal cord and in the brain. These cater to our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs. On the physical side Read More …
The Powers of Kundalini, Interview Shri Mataji with Stephen Taylor Burwood Ashram, Sydney (Australia)
The Power of kundalini (Interview) Shri Mataji with Stephen Taylor, Friday, March 16, 1990 Stephen Taylor: Shri Mataji, what is Sahaja Yoga? Shri Mataji: Sahaja. Saha means ‘with’.Ja means ‘born’. So it is born with you.’ The right’ to become ‘united,’ which is the yoga with the Divine. Stephen Taylor: And this Sahaja yoga is something that everybody can have, is it? Is it something, everybody can practice? Shri Mataji: Of course. Stephen Taylor: And how does this connect with the divine take place? Shri Mataji: We have within ourselves this power in the triangular bone which is called a ‘Sacrum’ meaning sacred, which when awakened sprouts like a prime in seed and rises through six subtle centres, opens out in the last centre and gets connected with the divine, which is subtle energy, all around us, which organizes us, which nourishes us, does all the living work. Above all it loves us. Interviewer: Does this mean that people who have not had the ability to practice Sahaj yoga are not connected with the divine? Shri Mataji: Most of them are not. And if some of them are, they don’t know all about it. Interviewer: So this is what, an extra force that is available to human beings to develop themselves in this world? Shri Mataji: Of course. This is the last breakthrough of our evolution, where you have to get connected with the divine. You have to feel it on your central nervous system and that’s how you get Self-realization.

Talk before Katak Dance: Three Gunas and Eternity Sydney (Australia)
Talk Before Katak Dance. Burwood Ashram, Sydney (Australia), 15 March 1990. Shri Mataji: You see now she’s going to dance on a song, so she said space is all right for her. So to acquaint with you this kind of dancing called as katak, comes from the word katar, meaning the story telling. It’s said [INAUDIBLE] of the Northern Indian. Her guru is a very well known artist in this realm, and she has had a very intensive training in that. We are very lucky to have her here, so you could see the style, in which rhythm is very important apart from other things, that the whatever is, he’s going to tell you how she’s going to use the different tathas in Hindi, tathas are, beats to divide them into, say by sixteen by three something like that, so it’s an eternal thing. Now as you know, in our chakras also if you know, there are three gunas, now you start from the fourth. Number four. Four divided by three is eternity, so Ganesha can take Incarnation. Then six. Six has divided by three, so Brahmadeva doesn’t take Incarnation. Then comes ten. Ten divided by three, is again eternity. So the Vishnu can take Incarnations, also all the Gurus can take Incarnation. Then comes twelve, at the heart. Twelve is divided by three, so Shiva doesn’t take His form, only the Goddess does. Because it is divided completely. Then comes sixteen. Sixteen divided by three, again eternity. That’s why Read More …
Seek the eternal, and treat the transitory with all understanding about it University of Sydney, Sydney (Australia)
Public Program for Members of Department of Religious Studies at the University of Sydney (Australia), 15 March 1990. Sahaja Yogi : Will you be standing up ?Shri Mataji: I think so, would be better. Or if you think it’s alright, then it’s alright. They can see me on the tips.[Long introduction to Shri Mataji by a Sahaja Yogi]Shri Mataji: Thank you very much.I bow to all the seekers of truth.At the very outset, we have to know one thing, that truth is what it is. We cannot organize it, we cannot order it, we cannot conceptualize it also with our human understanding. It is, it was and it will be. The essence of all religions, if you bring it down to the one-line essence, is this, that: seek the eternal, and treat the transitory with all understanding about it.The first part is the difficult one: seek the eternal. Eternal is the truth, and what is the truth? Now when I’m talking to you, you are all very well versed and very well educated people, I have to request you to have an open mind, a scientific outlook to see for yourself what I say is the truth or not, experience it, and treat all this talk as a hypothesis. And if it turns out to be the truth, then in all honesty we have to accept it. So there are two things which we may not accept, but they exist. One of them is that all this universe, all this Read More …

Farewell Talk Sydney (Australia)
And be coming back to Sydney again. And stay here have been wonderful. We have made the largest number of people and you have to look after the people who are going to come here now. We have to be very cautious and careful with the new people because they don’t know about Sahaj Yog, they don’t know about the kingdom of god, so don’t have to show off in any way. Try to be kind and nice to them and tell them everything. In such a manner, as if you’re trying to be very helpful to them. Don’t get angry with them, don’t shout at them. So very big responsibility, I think, to. Get the new people. In proper shape. It’s a knack I think. It has to be a nack if you find somebody rather difficult or someone, then you ask somebody else to deal with that, go on on shifting such a person, so that person gets fed up and will go away if somebody is asking too many questions or anything. Also, you try this thing like that, you see, don’t go on arguing, don’t argue with anyone. Too much arguments will not bring anything, you know in Sahaja Yoga cannot be argued on some extent is all right, but too much. It should not be argued. Now. We have achieved quite a lot in Sydney and for the whole world to see that if you can do that in Sydney, why not anywhere else? Let Read More …
The road to Realization is straightforward State Theatre, Sydney (Australia)
Public Program. day 2, Sydney, Australia, 8 May 1987. Sahaja Yogi: On behalf of the people of Sydney, may we make welcome to Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. [applause] It was said on National television today that, Sahaja Yoga is a respectable yoga because of some so-called yogas that have gone before. Shri Mataji has come to show us the truth because that’s what we all desire for. If we have a special reason for existence, it is to find the truth. And those of us that have been blessed to be with Her have found the truth. So She’s come to Sydney to tell us about the truth. In a very troubled world, that’s rife with many of the wrong answers to our troubles – the answers of drugs, hard and soft, and other things that distract us, we’ve found that those are not the answer. Holy Mother, thank You for coming and thank You for being with us. So once again, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. Shri Mataji: I bow to all the seekers of truth. The idea about truth is sometimes a misconception. Truth is what it is and will be the truth. We cannot change it, we cannot organise it, we cannot work it out. It remains what it is. And the greatest truth is that we all have become human beings to become the Spirit. We’re still not in that stage, that’s why there are problems around us. Once you become the truth, it being the absolute, Read More …
Interview on Channel Nine Channel 9, Sydney (Australia)
Interview with Ray Martin on TV Channel Nine (from the original tv broadcast). Australia, 8 May 1987. Interviewer: Welcome back. I guess Indian gurus have been in vogue over recent years in the West –The Beatles introduced us to the Maharishi, the Orange people blindly followed the Bagwan, but there have been others for more credible and far more respectable. My next guest is a Bombay lady whose following is growing around the world. She says that you have the power to deal positively with every problem from con men to cancer. All you have to do is know how to tap into it, to tap into that power. Would you please welcome the lady acclaimed as India’s greatest living saint, the Mother of Sahaja Yoga – Shri Mataji. [applause] Welcome. Welcome to Australia. I know it’s very difficult for You, for anyone to sum up one’s religion, but is it possible to say what is Sahaja Yoga? Shri Mataji: Now, Sahaja- saha means with, ja is born with you. This is born with you. Within us is the power which can give us the status of a Spirit. We are not yet the Spirit. We are at a human level, and in the evolutionary process, we have to now have the breakthrough to become the Spirit. That’s very essential and is absolutely eventually, the all possible natural thing that has to happen. It should happen to all of us and the time has come for you to get to Read More …
The time has come now to prove the existence of God State Theatre, Sydney (Australia)
Public Program Day 1. Sydney (Australia), 7 May 1987. I bow to all the seekers of truth. As it has been explained by Charles, we have to realise that there’s something gone wrong with humanity. We have come to a level of awareness, which is a human awareness, which understands many more things than animals can understand. Like, a horse can pass through a dirty lane but a human being cannot pass through that. We have developed lots of sensitivities after becoming a human being. We have a sense of beauty, we have a sense of creativity, of music, of architecture; everything that surrounds us, we’re aghast to see what human beings can do. On the other side you see a terrible vacuum, as if the world has reached its doom. What has gone wrong within ourselves or without, it is high time for us to find out. This beautiful hall is created out of a human mind, so beautifully done, every detail worked out because the artist wanted to give something great to human beings for their happiness, for their joy. But this Tree of Life grew too big outside and the roots inside have not grown. Unless and until we know about our roots and grow them to their source of joy we cannot continue anymore. This is the knowledge of the roots. This knowledge existed in India since long and also is expressed in most of the religions. They all have hinted at it. Like in the Bible Read More …
Talk to Sahaja Yogis: The need to go deeper Burwood Ashram, Sydney (Australia)
Talk to Sahaja Yogis: Questions and Answers, Burwood Ashram, Sydney, Australia, 6 May 1987 I am happy that you all were meditating here, and were trying to develop your depth. You all have depth, a very deep personality within yourself. But we have to touch that, that’s very important, because you see, we sing, have music, that’s a very good thing; we enjoy each other’s company, also is very good and that’s a nice thing. But we have to enjoy our own company also by meditating, going within yourself. Now, ‘What is the use?’ one may ask. ‘Mother, now we have got realisation, we have a nice life, we are enjoying ourselves, we are doing so well.’ The deeper you go, the deeper you touch the essences of all the things, like all the elements – when you had finished your meditation, you saw how the rain fell down, how the rain came suddenly. So rain has felt your depth, or you have felt the depth of rain. Now you know that if you light one little candle and put your finger towards it with My photograph there, it acts, it reacts and it gives you a flame which burns, sometimes gives you smoke, sometimes it gallops. So you have noticed that there’s a reaction, even in the fire. So all elements have got an effect: if a saint wants to have an effect. But first of all you must reach your own essences. Once you reach your own essences, Read More …
Daily Telegraph Interview Sydney (Australia)
Daily Telegraph Interview Sydney Australia 06-05-1987 Shri Mataji: Suddenly become little cold, isn’t it? What about they, did they have tea?Yogini: Would you like a cup of tea or coffee?Shri Mataji: Yes, I don’t mind. What about him?R: I’m all right, thank you.R: So, how was the tour going? Your tour in Australia going so far?Shri Mataji: So far?R: Yes.Shri Mataji: It was very good in Brisbane, except for the reporter who came and could not get his Realisation, and he was very disappointed.R: Can you just explain to me, it’s quite a basic question, what exactly Self Realisation is?Shri Mataji: I will explain. You see, we have reached a stage of human awareness now. But that’s not the absolute. If it was absolute, then there would have been no problem. All the human problems come in because we have not yet got to that stage. Now, that stage which I’m talking about is Self Realisation, where you become the Spirit. That in your awareness, the light of spirit comes in. The light of spirit comes in. Without that light we have no discrimination and we have selfishness, temptations, habits, all kind of dominations on us. But when you become the spirit, then you feel complete.R: How did you find Self Realisation?Shri Mataji: I was born with it. But it was a process so far only for few people. But I found out a method by which thousands could get Self Realisation at the same time.R: How?Shri Mataji: We have Read More …
2SER FM Radio Interview Sydney (Australia)
2SER FM radio Interview with Shri Mataji, Sydney (Australia) May 6th, 1987 Question: What is Sahaja Yoga? Shri Mataji: Sahaja: ‘saha’ means with, ‘ja’ means born. Born with you is sahaja. Yoga means union with the Divine, that is, spontaneous union with the Divine. Question: And is it for all ages? Shri Mataji: Yes; for all ages; for everyone. It is an evolutionary process which ends up with your ultimate goal, and that is to become the Spirit. And so it is meant for everyone. Question: And how does it differ from other forms of yoga? Shri Mataji: Other forms of yogas are leading to this one so that you are purified to receive this spontaneous yoga. But there is no need to do anywhere of these; you can get your realisation without doing anything, any one of them. Question: What is Self-Realisation? Shri Mataji: Self-Realisation is that, so far the Spirit – which is in your heart, which is witnessing your activities, but does not come into play, into your actions nor into your intelligence, nor into your attention – but once you get self-realised then the Spirit, the light of the Spirit shines and that’s how your whole attitude towards life changes. You become a transformed personality. Question: Are You the only person that can give Self-Realisation? Shri Mataji: No. There are many Sahaja Yogis who can give Self-Realisation to many people. Question: Shri Mataji, it’s written in the publicity that I read that, You can actually give Read More …
Meeting with Sahaja Yogis Sydney (Australia)
1987-05-06 Meeting with Sahaja Yogis., Sydney, Australia. Starts at: 0.21.39 [Shri Mataji is listening to a pre-recorded interview where Sahaja Yoga is being explained to a reporter by two Australian Yogis – Stephen Taylor and James Blackley. Yogis applaud when it ends.] Shri Mataji: Very well done. I was thinking, there’s one point which you can tell them that, you see, human awareness is not at its best, is not at its absolute. So the – what is the evolutionary process is working. And because of that natural evolutionary process, the time has come for many to break through, then that goes into their head, I think is better. That is one point. And I was thinking why not have Rustom for tomorrow’s interview – Rustom and [unclear/him] for tomorrow’s 8:30 interview. You can say that: there’s a psychiatrist coming all the way from Viard and all that. So you could have them for the interview tomorrow, [replying to someone aside: 8:30. Yes, of course.] Sahaja Yogi One: Excuse me Shri Mother, between Your radio interview tomorrow and the television, there is one and a half hours and if it would be possible, we could take You to the man himself in that one and a half hours. Shri Mataji: One and a half hours between My interview… Sahaja Yogi Two: Between the ABC interview at 10 o’clock and the Ray Martin show at 12 o’clock. Shri Mataji: Yes, that’s true but there’s one 8:30 which… Sahaja Yogi One: Read More …
Bhajans after Hyatt Workshop Sydney (Australia)
Bhajans after Hyatt Workshop (Shri Mataji is reading a translation, by a local yogini, of ‘Ami Bhigadalo’ ) She has made some little mistakes here. See: Raga – ‘Ra -Ga’ doesn’t mean anger. But it means the melody. You see it is a pun on the words throughout. ‘Bhi gadalo’ means: ‘the seed has sprouted.’ Also it means ‘I am ruined’ – a pun on the words, you see? He says even the Raga, the melody, is spoilt.‘how I become … my religion (‘dharma)” is spoilt. She has put ‘enlightened’ but it is ‘spoilt’. I have become Vishwa Dharma.A pun on the word Bhigadalo which means: my seed has sprouted. Also it means: I am spoilt. Bhi gadarmi – so he plays on that word. So my dharma is also spoilt – I become Vishva Dharma. That is the pun. That is the poetic style. Then he says “All the people are also spoilt.” What has happened – they became pure. They become Nirmal, see, this is it.5:09 yogis sing bhajan13:15Have you been able to tape it? that’s beautiful, beautiful, because it is even more melodious, you see, than when we heard it in India, because you see, in India some people were going a little bit here and there from other countries. (loud yogi laughter).It was not such a proper melody there but now it is absolutely melodious: beautiful, beautiful.Shri Mataji comments that the musician plays well and asks where did she learn then comments on the harmonium “It Read More …
Kundalini is your mother anxiously waiting to give you your second birth Park Hyatt Sydney Hotel, Sydney (Australia)
Public Program and Workshop So today i bow to all those who are seekers of truth and those who have found it… may god bless you. It is such a great pleasure to see so many people coming back to know about themselves. All that [UNCLEAR warren] has been telling you as i told you is what you are within yourself, and what happens to you is the awakening of the kundalini which is three and a half coiled energy with in our sacrum bone. Now just imagine sacrum word was given to it by the Greeks that means Greeks knew that there is something sacred about it. That’s how they called it a sacrum bone, now this kundalini is the one is the pure desire within ourselves… Is the pure desire within ourselves. All other desires that we have… all other desires are not pure, if they were pure we would have been satisfied by them. But as you know the law of economics is such that in general ones are not [UNCLEAR sacure] that means what wants we have can never be satisfied. So what is the want really we have we should know, the real true desire with in us is one that we should be one with the divine power. This is the true desire we may play it with we may came of [UNCLEAR] we may go in other directions, make so difference, but ultimately you all come to this conclusion that unless and until you Read More …
Dinner with and cooked by Shri Mataji Sydney (Australia)
Dinner with and cooked by Shri Mataji, Burwood Ashram, Sydney, March 12, 1985 [Throughout the dinner, Shri Mataji and Sahaja Yogis are speaking in English, Marathi and Hindi. Shri Mataji repeats some statements in more than one language]. Shri Mataji: Warren, nine o clock come? We can go to the room? Warren? Warren: Mother, we have spoken to the neighbours and some of them [UNCLEAR]. Shri Mataji: All right. Be seated. Now today I am not going to give a lecture. I have already done the cooking part. All of them are here? You mean the hundred and forty are here? Not yet? Warren: [UNCLEAR] gone to Melbourne. Shri Mataji: Still, I have cooked for at least a hundred and forty people. So we can leave tomorrow. Warren: Maybe they are all inside. Maybe they are all inside, Shri Mataji. There are a lot of people inside. Shri Mataji: Is it? Sahaja Yogi: Will you have some water, Shri Mataji? Some water? Shri Mataji: Give Me the towel. Sahaja Yogi: Will you have some water? Shri Mataji: I will take this (a cold drink)…properly.

H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi talking to the Sahaja yogis at Burwood ashram after the public program. Sydney, Australia. [a Sahaja yogi reads Gyaneshwara’s Pasayadan in Marathi, and Shri Mataji comments on it in English] [Marathi] Shri Mataji and Sahaja Yogis: Aranava, forest, jungle.. Shri Mataji: Gyaneshawara. He describes Sahaja Yogis like this, beautifully. He first says, he’s requesting the God Almighty. [Marathi] Ata, he says, let the Spirit of the Universe be contented. He says now let it be contented. I have done my writing as the yagnya of my power of speaking [Marathi] And now with that. [Marathi] satisfaction, I mean, I mean God doesn’t have satisfaction but what you mean that now you are Prasanna, satisfied, then please give us the Pasaydan and Pasaydan, it means these vibrations, the blessings of the nectar of the milk of your joy, you give us that, that’s what he asks for, but the way he described the Sahaja Yogis, what will happen, you see the, what it will happen.

Enter into the state of absolute Sydney Masonic Center, Sydney (Australia)
Public Program Day 2, Australia, Sydney 11-3-1985 or 12-3-1985 I bow to all the seekers of Truth. I explained to you yesterday that seekers are a special category of human beings, and they have to first seek their Self. They are to be blessed first and then the rest of the world will follow them. Dr. Warren has explained to you at length the connection between the gross and the subtle, how the different centers are related to different plexuses, very clearly. When I did my medicine the names of these plexuses were different. Now they are different, and every day it is changing because they are finding new and new things. But when you get your Self Realization, when you become the Self, then you don’t live in any relative world. Today the problem of religions who are fighting among themselves, like Christians have so many cults, Hindus have so many cults, Muslims have so many divisions, this is only because they are understanding God through their mental projections, because they are not on absolute state. When it comes to mental projection one can go on interpreting the same thing in hundred ways. Like Bible can be interpreted this way or that way, intellectually. When you are in the absolute, then absolute is only one. You cannot have many cults, many interpretations. There cannot be many. So when you become the Self, the first thing that happens to you that you enter into the state of absolute. Your hands Read More …
You have risen above the rest of the creation of God to seek something beyond Sydney Masonic Center, Sydney (Australia)
1985-0310: Public Program Day 1, Sydney, Australia I bow to all the seekers of truth. I bow to you because you are the epitome of the evolution, because you have risen above the rest of the creation of God to seek something beyond. Maybe there have been mistakes. Makes no difference. But you are the people who are the special categories described by William Blake * as “men of God” who will become prophets and will have powers to make other prophets. That’s your capacity. That’s what you are. But unfortunately we have no faith in our seeking. So many who have committed mistakes have been misguided, taking to wrong paths. By their naive ness have really frustrated so much that sometimes I weep with the idea that these great souls who became human beings they became seekers, for ages they have been seeking, many lives they have been seeking and now they are lost to themselves. It is My ardent desire that all of them should be saved. But we have to understand what is against us, why there is a barrier within us. I took so many years to start My work because I studied human beings with closed quarters, I studied them in a very subtle way, a method that I have, and I found out through their permutations and combinations of problems that there are human beings, as Shri Krishna has said, of three varieties. One variety is a person who is a left sided person. Read More …
Devi Puja: How To Ascend Into Nirvikalpa Sydney (Australia)
Devi Puja, “How to ascend into nirvikalpa” Sydney (Australia), 10 March 1985. Breeze will blow, now you won’t have problems. It is such a joy to see so many Sahaj Yogis of such high evolution. I am sure all the gods and goddesses and the God Almighty himself must be overjoyed to see this achievement, no doubt about it. But I was told that you want to know higher ways, or higher things, by which you would like to ascend higher and higher. In the samadhi state, first is the thoughtless awareness, as you know, called the nirvichar samadhi. And then into the other state, which is called as nirvikalpa samadhi, where it is doubtless awareness, is two stages: savikalpa and nirvikalpa. Most of the Sahaj Yogis now are on the savikalpa, not yet at the nirvikalpa. And to rise up to the nirvikalpa, we must understand that we have to do little more about it. So far we had our physical problems which are solved — physical needs, comforts cannot dominate us anymore. We can live in any conditions, like Brahmapuri. We enjoy all that, that shows that we have now risen above the conditions that are laid down by the material life or the matter. That’s a good state where we have reached, which is also very difficult for people. Normally, people are extremely fussy; they are worried about worldly things, worldly possessions, worldly material problems. So many of them would come and tell me, “I haven’t got Read More …

Evening Program during Birthday Puja [Starts at 58:58 after the sitar. Applause] Sahaja Yogi: Thank you very much. Shri Mataji: [Inaudible] You must take full advantage of that. Really great, so beautiful! Sati, Indian music is a very good routine [unsure] to master the ? Musician: Give us time and we’ll master it. Shri Mataji: No, you are masters, you are now master, definitely. You are Ustads [high master, Muslim word] here, you are definitely Ustads. Did you have many recitals in India? Musician: No, Mother. Shri Mataji: You should come. You should come, we’ll organize for you now, this time. You all should come there. You are really masters. Why not in Australia? It’s such a great place, it’s Punya Bhoomi, a great place. I’ve not heard anyone else playing like you, who are outsiders. ?? with Ravi Shankar just couldn’t do any justice to it though it was like a little boy playing. I mean you are so good. He’s so good, it’s remarkable. Musician: What to say? [Laughter] I’m very thankful really, it’s great. It’s a very difficult raga. Now you should give up that abode of yours and come down. We’ll have so many ?? unless and until you teach, you see, Sahaja Yogi: He does teach Mother, he comes down to Sydney and teaches. Shri Mataji: Is he? Musician: Sometimes. Shri Mataji: Once? Musician: Once in a while. Shri Mataji: All right, in a while. But you are doing something else, apart from this? Musician: Read More …
Birthday Puja: Overcoming The Six Enemies Sydney (Australia)
Birthday Puja, “Overcoming The Six Enemies”. Sydney (Australia) 21 March 1983. It is so great to be with you people today on this auspicious day; to be with Australians who have proved to be very good Sahaja yogis and who have progressed in a very speedy manner in their spiritual life. It gives me greatest pleasure to be with my children here. As you know I have so many children all over the world apart from the ones whom I actually physically gave birth. We have to think of all those today who are away from us, thousands of miles, praying to God Almighty for their spiritual ascent. One has to only pray for the spiritual ascent. Because as you ascend you get all the rest of it. Because you do not ascend you do not get what is needed. That’s why there are problems. And even today I had to solve some problems before I could come to puja. But if you decide that we have to ascend spiritually within us then everything that you have to receive, all the blessings that God wants to shower upon you, to make you the citizen of His great Kingdom, where you are no more judged, you are no more chastised, you are no more put to any test, of where you reside in eternal love of God and in His glory. I could not believe about ten years back, that within ten years I’ll be able to achieve this result. We Read More …
Devi Puja: May all Your dreams get true Sydney (Australia)
Puja, Burwood Ashram, Sydney (Australia), 20th of March 1983 Yogi: … become a tremendous family and spread Sahaja Yoga in such a way that the Kingdom of God truly comes on this earth. You graciously declared Yourself, here in Australia at the Mooladhara Chakra, declared that You are the one Who is Adi Shakti, Who is the incarnation of the Holy Spirit. And [UNCLEAR] [HAVE BEEN SO] [UNCLEAR] that mankind has been able to face this stage of his evolution. By Your declaration we truly thank You, Mother. We trust that as Your children we’ll be able to live up to the tremendous challenge and the tremendous work that lies ahead. But no way here do I speak on behalf of the Australian Sahaja Yogis because there is no such thing as Australian Sahaja Yogis. We are, in fact, all one. So from all our brothers and sisters, Mother, all over the world, in all the continents, in all the countries within those continents, we thank You, Mother, we wish You such a joyous birthday on this most auspicious day and we all say: “Jay Mataji!”Shri Mataji: [INAUDIBLE].

Workshop for new people, candle treatments Sydney (Australia)
Workshop for new people, candle treatments, Sydney, 1983, March the 20th Sahaja Yogi: Just to finish off on that point, Mother often uses this expression that there are jet planes and there are bullets cars. We all have to rise at the same level and this is what this Collective Consciousness is all about [inexact interpretation].I, when I get my Realization, am not at a higher level than you when you get your Realization. I may have cleared my chakras a little more than you but we all have to come together; we all have to work it out together. It has to be a collective experience. All right? It’s not that I’m a great Yogi and you are a little, a little nothing.Seeker lady: [Inaudible]Sahaja Yogi: Why don’t we let Mother answer that question.Seeker lady: Right.Sahaja Yogi: The question of people: “Even before Realization, having a certain level of awareness which was, are they close to Realization, and what if they don’t even meet you? What is their position?” Shri Mataji: You have to know that you all have been seekers before also. This is not the first time you have been seeking. So, already you have reached a certain state where you feel and you are aware that something more has to happen to you, you are already ready for that, some of you have really taken birth in this time just for this. So, because I’m not going to talk of your past, past is over now, Read More …
Workshop with seekers Sydney (Australia)
Workshop in Sydney, Australia, March 19th, 1983 Warren: Well, he still feels as though, even though since Realization, he still feels as though the effects of the drugs are still there in the sense that he gets the same experiences. Is that true?Seeker: YesWarren: He gets the same experiences as if he was still on drugs.Shri Mataji: Uh hm. Why don’t you sit here with your left hand towards Me, right hand outside Let’s see, what about, who else?Warren: Who else was on drugs? Anyone?

Shri Mataji: You feel that the drug effect has gone now? Seeker: Yes, Mother, I feel most of it is gone. Shri Mataji: All right. What about you, Robert? Are you still feeling the drug effect on you? Robert: Yes, Mother. Warren: But you’re still experiencing the same experiences as you are having at the time you are taking drugs. That’s what he just said. Or are you just experiencing something else? Robert: It’s just like a – Shri Mataji: Less. Heaviness. Read More …
Picnic, How To feed babies Lane Cove River Tourist Park, Sydney (Australia)
Advice to Sahaja Yogis in Lane Cove Park, Sydney (Australia). 19 March 1983. Shri Mataji: What a beautiful place you have! Warren: Let’s sing Mother’s mantra. Shri Mataji [to a baby]: Hello! Beautiful place. What a beautiful place, he? Beautiful place under the sun. Sahaja Yogini: It’s been in the flood and it’s muddy. Shri Mataji: Yes. It’s a nice shady place also. Shri Mataji [to a child]: You’re playing, did you go on the river? How can you all be sitting there, it’s so muddy. [Cut in the video] Is that a nest? Warren Reeves: No, that’s a dead branch Mother, just a dead branch hanging down. Shri Mataji: Hm. Warren: It’s a little bit like mistletoe. Sahaja Yogini: In this part, there are mistletoes all around. Shri Mataji: This is the eucalyptus. Sahaja Yogi: Yes. [conversation unclear] Sahaja Yogi: There are flowers and then they become nuts. Shri Mataji: The one we saw? These are the same? Warren: The same flowers that You saw in– where is it- in Adelaide. Shri Mataji: The ones which are like Ganesha’s flowers? Warren: Yes, yes, yes, Mother. Shri Mataji: The four petals? Warren: But it has a much bigger base. Shri Mataji: Let Me see. Warren: Much better base. There are all different shapes and sizes but the one we saw had definitely, had four sections on it. Shri Mataji: These are all different things that have eyes sorts of things. Is that the one? Warren: [Inaudible] Sahaja Yogi: That was Read More …
Why am I concerned is the point Maccabean Hall, Sydney (Australia)
Public Programme Day 4. Sydney (Australia), 18 March 1983. To all the seekers of truth I bow I must say Dr. Warren has done a good job. Perhaps you don’t understand that the situation is quite different in the western countries. I don’t have to have any introduction in India, nor anybody has to give any apologies all the time, you see trying to convince getting this that into the whole argument to prove that I’m the truth and that I’m genuine, that there’s no hanky panky about Me. It’s very embarrassing for Me to say and the background is like this: when I came to Australia this time from all over the world, all the Sahaja Yogis who are in the West, we have many in every country and they are known that this time Mother must say who She is, is important because the questions like this then how can You do it how can it be easy are You the one who is doing all kinds of questions coming and I just don’t help, please don’t do it, it’s not easy for a Western mind to accept it you see, they all come on you and you see and so I told you the same and it was accepted by many people because they felt the cool breeze they did feel the cool breeze coming out of their heads but some did not and because they did not feel it, they challenged and they were angry about Read More …
How can it be possible to have Realization so fast? Maccabean Hall, Sydney (Australia)
Public Program day 3. Sydney (Australia), 17 March 1983. To all the seekers of truth, I bow. Warren has said something today which I’ve been trying to avoid all these years because I thought it was not advisable at this time to talk so directly to human beings about it. Because as soon as somebody says such a thing a snake called ego comes up or else people try to harm the cause. They don’t want to hear about it. This has happened with all the great incarnations. And you have seen how Christ was crucified by people because He said that “I am the light, I am the path,” which He was. This was the truth, no doubt. But I realized that everything that is truth is not to be said. As He Himself has said that “Don’t throw your pearls.” Because those who do not understand the value of the pearls will destroy out of ignorance or out of aggression. I have to accept today that in Australia, today is a first moon day that what Warren has said is the truth, when people asked Me how can it be possible to have Realization so fast. In India it is not necessary to tell them. They just know. Because Adi Shankarcharya has written so many books about Me. And He said it is only She who will come and give en-mass Realization. Whatever you may try else, it’s of no use. And that is why, it is very Read More …
The truth is your Spirit Maccabean Hall, Sydney (Australia)
Public Program day 2. Sydney (Australia), 16 March 1983. …which expresses itself in the gross out of these subtle centers. The left hand side of our subtle body is the blue column is our psyche. It’s our emotions. It’s our past. It’s the part of us which is is our conditioning and creates what we might call our superego, our response mechanism, our reflex mechanism. It’s our memory. The right hand side is our projection. It relates to our planning. It relates to our thinking, thinking, thinking. And of course it relates to our ego. It’s the mechanism by which we reach rational conclusions. It’s through the right hand side that we analyze and calculate and reach certain, often illogical but rational conclusions. So we have to be careful that these imbalances do not express themselves within us to any great extent, while the tendency is that while we will move either too far to the left side or too far to the right side and so move beyond our own personal subconscious or our own personal supraconscious into an area which is totally deluding and quite often dangerous which is called the collective subconscious the collective supraconscious which is occupied by spirits of the dead which can and do possess us. It ranges from dangerous zones which give us such problems as alcoholism, cancer, all sorts of power complexes the ultimate example of Hitler. So we have to be extraordinarily careful of these dabbling and [DILATANTE?] attitudes towards our Read More …
ABC Radio Interview Sydney (Australia)
H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi speaking to Margaret Throsby, host of the ‘Morning Extra’ program, ABC Radio. Sydney, Australia. (1983-0315) Reporter: ..greatest living saint. Her name is Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi and She will be my guest after the music. Reporter: Hi again, as we were on air with publicity. For the Richard Attenborough’s film of his life. But how many people can say they knew Gandhi and knew him well over a period of years? My next guest can, She is Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, the founder of the world wide Sahaja Yoga movement and She’s visiting Australia for a series of lectures. Good morning! Shri Mataji: Good morning! Reporter: and welcome to “City extras”. Shri Mataji: Thanks! Reporter: This isn’t Your first visit to Australia, is it? Shri Mataji: No, I came a year before this. Reporter: When were You here last? Shri Mataji: Same time, about same time. Reporter: How did You meet Gandhi? Shri Mataji: My father was a member of the Congress and also My mother and that’s how we were very much very close to him. And Mahatma Gandhi came to stay in a place called Wantha, which was only sixty miles from the place we all lived. So we all used to visit him, first time when I was about seven years of age. And he asked My father if he could give Me to him for his own company, My father agreed and I stayed on with him. Reporter: How long did You Read More …
2JJJ FM Radio Interview Sydney (Australia)
H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi being interviewed on 2JJJ FM Radio (ABC Radio). Sydney, Australia. (1983-0315) Interviewer:…is 12 and now here’is Tony Walker on the leadership trials on Mid-south [?]. If you think there’s no room left in the world for any more gurus, I’d say you are wrong, there’s one in town at the moment, She’s not exactly new, having been a friend of the Mahatma Gandhi’s, She’s nonetheless nowhere near as high profiled as one of the shri rajnesh or the maharishi, or the guru maharaji. She’s in fact Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, and I translate literally as “The Immaculate Goddess”, She claims to be the only link between the Creator God Almighty and mankind, and like many of the others of the kind She doesn’t take money from Her followers, which causes some people to view Her with some suspicion. She sais that She’s by the perfect capitalist and the complete communist, both at one time. Many miracles have been attributed to Her, including healing the death and the cancer sufferers. She claims that the orthodox western Christian churches have lost their direction. I spoke to Her yesterday. Shri Mataji: The message is for all the seekers, those who are seeking beyond, what is available to them now, that we are the Spirit, we are seeking our Spirit. And that can happen to us, because it’s all built in within us to be the Spirit. The whole thing is built in within us during the process of our Read More …
We have to understand that truth is not a mental action Maccabean Hall, Sydney (Australia)
Public Program day 1. Sydney (Australia), 15 March 1983. But before we come to right conclusion about our seeking, we have to understand that truth is not a mental action.If your mind says that “this is this”, it need not be that. It is our everyday experience in life, that mentally, when we try to establish something, we find after sometime, that we have not been absolutely correct about it.Whatever is known to us is already there. But whatever is unknown, even about that, if you have preconceived ideas, that “this is the unknown, this is God, this is Spirit”, then it could be that you are very much away from the truth. But scientifically, if you have to approach any subject, you have to keep your mind absolutely clean and open, that it has been said by many great Saints, many great gurus, that we are to be born again and that we are the Spirit. Are we to believe in them or not? Perhaps, we should reach at least this conclusion that they did not take any money from anyone and they could not have been fake people, they did not do it for money sake. So, if we have to be born again, to reach the right conclusion we should know what should happen to us. For example if you certify that I am a reborn again, then it is misleading. Supposing that I certify myself that I am the Prime minister of Australia, do I become? Read More …
Devi Puja: Individual journey towards God Sydney (Australia)
Devi Puja. Sydney (Australia), 14 March 1983. Now you all have realised by this time, that within us lies the peace, the beauty, the glory of our being. There’s an ocean of all that. We cannot seek it outside. We have to go within; what they call ‘in the meditative state’ you seek it, you enjoy it. Like, when you are thirsty, you go to a river or you go to an ocean and try to quench your thirst. But even the ocean cannot give you sweet water so how can anything that is spread outside give you that deep thing that is within you? You are trying to find it out outside where it does not lie. It is within us, absolutely within us. It is so simple because it is your own. It is within your reach, just there. Whatever you have been doing: going out to find the joy, the so-called joy, the so-called happiness, the so-called glory of worldly powers and worldly possessions, you have to reverse it back the whole thing. You have to project within yourself. It was not wrong that you went out [but] it was not correct that you went out. You shouldn’t feel sorry for what you have done so far. It was not the correct way to get to the real joy of life, the real glory of your being. It has worked in so many people that you have entered into that subtler understanding. Some people are only at Read More …
Shri Lalita Havan Sydney (Australia)
Talk after Shri Lalita Havan. Sydney (Australia), 7 April 1981. [Whether] it is [seen?]. It is this when the Holy Ghost came in the form of the cold breeze. Like this. (H.H Shri Mataji blows air into and mike and everyone laughs) [The Power? had] [left no doubt].Now I have blessed you all. But the problem is, if it is a formless and there is nobody to decode. There has to be a decoding, explaining, isn’t it? And that’s how there are lots of mistakes committed by them also. Because they didn’t understand that blessing should be their capacity, their vision and dream about it. But to communicate, with the people to communicate with the Spirit, to understand the Kundalini the vibrations and their different decodings and all that. The Holy Spirit had to come with a mouth and with a voice and with an intelligence that is intelligible to you with the knowledge and everything. Otherwise, it is not possible to communicate. And that’s why somebody has to come and you have to just recognize. Recognition is the best way of understanding the powers that are given to you. You have been given powers, no doubt. But these powers, even if somebody gets realization like Buddha got realization he thought that there is no God. He did not believe in God because he just got realization through a formless uhh formless wind you can say. And he just did not know, he even did not talk about Kundalini, he did not Read More …
Shri Gruha Lakshmi Puja: Marriage is very important in Sahaja Yoga Sydney (Australia)
Shri Gruha Lakshmi Puja, Sydney (Australia), 7 April 1981 Today is the anniversary day of the wedding, and I have allowed them to celebrate it because marriage is very important in Sahaja Yoga. It is one of the most important things for Sahaja Yoga, that one should get married. Firstly, marriage always gives you a balance of understanding, if you have proper ideas about marriage. If you have funny ideas, and if you are just marrying for fun’s sake and you do not understand the value of marriage, then it is just a joke, it’s not a marriage. But in Sahaja Yoga you really understand the value of marriage first of all, what it means. And then, luckily today we are going to have some Sahaja Yoga weddings, in which you will see how we try to conform to the divine laws of marriage, and get married under those laws. Here I find, in Australia, as well as in other countries, that marriage has lost its sanctity. People don’t understand that by doing sin against the marriage they are committing such great sins that many generations will have to suffer for this kind of a thing. One has to understand that fidelity is the basis of marriage. If there is no fidelity marriage has no meaning. If you are not capable of being fidel (sic), that means you are not yet a human being. A human being has to be a fidel animal. In marriage we confirm that the problem Read More …
Talk to Sahaja Yogis: With Kundalini awakening you get Nirvichar Samadhi Sydney (Australia)
Talk to new Sahaja Yogis Mr. Modi : This Nirvichar Samadhi comes to you because of the Adishakti. This we found. This aspect of Adishkati we found in Mataji. And therefore there was no question. When the state of thoughtless awareness came… Shri Mataji : (speaking in Marathi) Mr. Modi: ok. Shri Mataji: …else they will not understand. You see he is so clear cut. But he knows the difference between the mesmerism and the nirvichara Samadhi. So It’s better to tell the other way around I said. Because you see, he is there clear cut, you see. But you do not know that part that’s why. [UNCLEAR TEXT] You don’t know. They confuse nivichar Samadhi with mesmerism. Woman: Ah..yeah Shri Mataji: Also you see… Mr. Modi : Well if you are mesmerized and got the nirvichar samadhi the greatest difference will be…kundalini will be frozen as it should be. And therefore (Shri Mataji and Mr. Modi speaking in Marathi) Shri Mataji: Yes. (Laughter) Shri Mataji : You see because this is not there explained in any of your…any books. So how will you know. You see, that mesmerism what happens? You see and what is a kundalini awakening and with Kundalini awakening you get nivichar Samadhi. You see means crossing of the Agnya. Is not possible without the Primordial Mother being there. She is the only one who can do it. It’s precisely said. In am-mass basis though it is out of question for anybody else. It’s very clearly…I Read More …
Shri Ganesha and Shri Gauri Puja on the occasion of Gudi Padwa Sydney (Australia)
Shri Ganesha and Shri Gauri Puja. Sydney (Australia), 4 April 1981. Today is a very unique thing that is happened – is a special luck for Sahaja yogis of Australia. This day has never been celebrated before in the history of Sahaja Yoga. Today is the New Year’s Day for Sahaja yogis, because this is the New Year’s Day of the Shalivahan calendar. As you know, Shalivahan is My dynasty, and they are called as Shalivahan because they are the carriers of the shawls of the Goddess, they are called as the, because – as you are also carrying so many times My shawls around – and they were called as Shalivahan. So this New Year’s Day is the first day of advent of Goddess – the nine days there are. Then in another times that there are Satya Yug, then there’s Dvapara, Treta, Kali Yuga: there are four yugas. So in two yugas the Goddess incarnated, one before the Satya Yuga and one after it. So today is the day to mark absolutely the first day when She incarnated on this Earth. That’s the day also of the Gauri, because Virgin is the first form of the Goddess. And She created also Ganesha on Tuesday, just starting this week. What is the day? The day today is …? Today …. [Yogini: Today’s the fourth. Saturday, Mother. Saturday.] Saturday. Now, now, it’s over. Now don’t stay, all right? While I’m speaking you should not take My photographs. It’s a very Read More …
Christ prepared you for the Spirit Maccabean Hall, Sydney (Australia)
Public programme, Sydney (Australia), 3 April 1981. The other day, I told you about the center of Christ and the center of Shri Krishna and their relationship with each other. Now the last and the most important one within us is the center of Sahasrara is the limbic area. When you enter into it, you become thoughtlessly aware. This is the area to be entered through the Kundalini, through the center of Christ, through the Gate of Christ and that’s why it is written that you have to enter through Him. But not by somebody else saying, “I’m the Christ” or he saying, “I profess Christ and Christ” It’s not that way. Christ is within us and when the Kundalini rises, if it stops at this center, you have to take his name. Not the people who are not Realized, but Realized people have to chant his name, then only the Kundalini pierces through that center of Christ. That’s the door, that’s the gate He’s talked about, and then you enter into the Kingdom of God. “Thou shalt inherit the Kingdom of God.” Inherit. That’s your Father’s Kingdom and that you have to inherit. But now the most important is the last center of Sahasrara where you have all the seven centers placed one after another. These centers are really the seats of all the Deities we have talked about. The seats are in the brain. Their aura is around the heart but they are actually sleeping in the “sthanas” Read More …
Talkback Radio 2UE Sydney (Australia)
Radio Interview, Sydney (Australia), 31 March 1981. Talkback program ‘The Forum’ on 2UE Radio. Hosted by Ian Parry Oakden. Interviewer: Well, hi and welcome once again to the program. And tonight, a program with a slight difference. In the past, on the forum we’ve talked in different ways about finding oneself; about knowing oneself, and we’ve asked you at times to describe yourself in various ways, which has been interesting. Tonight we look at a different aspect of that under the title of Self Realization. In the past few years in Australia we have seen a succession of people come to Australia, with various titles, who lead what is generally regarded, I suppose, as cults. There have been people who have called themselves Maharajis, or Maharaji; there have been people who’ve called themselves yogis, there are people who will come up to you in the street and hand you literature who are followers of particular, mostly Indian based religious movements. I think that in general, is the way they describe them. And just lately I seem to be receiving more and more literature about these sort of people coming to Australia to speak to their followers. We’ve seen television films of them being greeted at the airport by devoted followers. And the other day I received a news release, guess you could call it that, about someone just a little bit different, because this time it’s a woman. And that makes it interesting to start with. Let me read you Read More …
Vishuddhi and Agnya Chakras Maccabean Hall, Sydney (Australia)
Public Program. Sydney (Australia), 31 March 1981. Actually, yesterday it was announced that we’ll start around seven thirty. And we did not know what to do because he made a mistake and he went on making that mistake on the radio. Today is very interesting topic before us, is to discuss the Vishuddhi chakra, which is placed here behind the base of the neck, and which has got sixteen petals. It manifests outside the cervical plexus in the gross for physical action. As you know, for the emotional side, you have got larynx glands and thyroid is the gland which is placed here.This center, in the evolution, is of greatest importance for human beings, because this center developed its maximum growth when human beings raised their heads from animal stage to become human beings. As animals, the heads were at an angle towards the ground, first it was just touching, parallel, then it was raised higher and higher. Till it came to monkey stage where it was raised slightly higher. And at the human stage only, they raised their heads in a straight line. Straight line was all right. In the straight line it was the balance between the superego and the ego. First, there is superego in the animals when they are looked after by human beings. Animals developed certain conditionings from human beings. Like a dog has to be looked after by human beings. Then the dog is told to do this or that and the conditioning starts. Read More …

You have come here to quarrel.Seeker: [Inaudible]Shri Mataji: [Inaudible] Be quiet, all right? Have some patience. You see, when you go to other gurus you don’t ask any questions, nothing, you go headlong. You shave up your heads, do what they tell you. There’s no enquiry for them, not a question, nothing. Whatever they say, you obey them, pay them money. Just obey them blindly. Whenever you come to Mother, please don’t try to get this – that’s wrong.

Just mere awakening of the Kundalini is not sufficient Sydney (Australia)
Public Program Workshop. Sydney (Australia), 29 March 1981. Modi must have told you very clearly about how to grow in Sahaja Yog because he’s one of them who has really taken very positive step to see that he grows. Now one has to understand one simple point about realisation is that, just mere awakening of the Kundalini is not sufficient, that’s just the beginning. You get your realisation but you must become the tree, you have to grow, you have to become. If you cannot grow then you have not achieved what you wanted to be. And you grow very fast, very fast with meditation and with understanding about meditation. Now one of the few hurdles that we have, that I’ve seen it, that are innately built in Sahaja Yoga itself. One of them is that you get it spontaneously so easily that you take it for granted. This is in the pattern of it, only innately built. You see what ever you get so easily you just take it for granted. But the another side of it is like that, that when you have your eyes you don’t know the value of your eyes, you take it for granted. But when you don’t have them then you know the value of eyes, it’s like that. So when you lose vibrations and when you get out of Sahaja Yog, then you start feeling much more lost and then you come back to Sahaja Yoga again. Like a person becomes rich, Read More …
Nabhi Chakra Maccabean Hall, Sydney (Australia)
Nabhi Chakra, Third Public Program. Maccabean Hall, Sydney (Australia), 27 March 1981. If you don’t hear Me this time please tell Me. I am sorry for being late for this lecture, but Dr. Warren had time to explain to you about this experience. Sometimes it is easier to understand this from a person who has achieved it, than to understand from a person who is talking from some tenth storey. That’s what My father told me, that if somebody’s born on the tenth storey, and the rest of them are on the first floor, if you start telling them from there they will first of all not listen, nor will they understand what you see. It’s not proper, that we should try to tell them something from a level, to a level, which is still there static, in their mind. So one has to, raise their, consciousness, two three storeys so they start seeing that there’s something beyond. But, in doing so, so many mistakes, have been there, before, and some people have done it deliberately, some are misguided and some are doing it deliberately. Net result is just the same. Even if you give poison to someone by mistake, or in a misguided way, the result is the same. In the same way, whether you are misguided, or whether you do it deliberately, whatever is wrong has an effect on the kundalini. Now the Aquarian Age, is the word I picked up from Dr. Warren, which is so true Read More …
