Friends by Theatre of Eternal Values (Austria)
FRIENDS Written by STEVE JONES In co-development with VANESSA PAYER and EVA MARIA NEUBAUER Along with additional creative input from: REINHARDT WINTER FRIENDS Scene 1 – the ego and super-ego behind the curtain The play starts in darkness. In the middle of the stage is a yogi meditating. A LIGHT shines against a paper/linen wall revealing TWO shadows – the EGO and the SUPEREGO. The ego and super-ego are dressed in BLACK , with bathing-hats corresponding to the colours of the right and the left channel, yellow and blue. The ego starts babbling: EGO Okay. Let’s go over this once again. Pick up the bread, walk the dog, go to the dry cleaners, pick up the bread, walk the dog, go thoughtless, pick up the cake– Cake? Cake? Where did that come from? Chocolate? Mmmh. No. No I can’t. I mustn’t. If eat chocolate I’ll catch on liver. If I catch on liver I’ll get angry. If I get angry I’ll kick the dog. Why would I kick the dog? Do I have dog issues? Mmmh. Note to self. Introspect on dog issues. The dog! Mustn’t forget. Dog food. Mmmh. Wonder what dog food tastes like? Doesn’t look that bad actually. Well the dog seems to like it. What was that? Oh yes. Note to self. Must remember to go thoughtless. Now where was I? Cake. Yes. No! It’ll make me fat. Just one? Why not. No! I’ll get addicted and I’ll get fatter and fatter and fatter then I’ll Read More …
Talk and Treatment at Vienna Airport and Departure NH Vienna Airport Conference Center, Vienna (Austria)
Talk at Vienna Airport. Austria, 10 July 1996. In Bucharest, there were equal number like you people are here, and I didn’t know how to take out My attention away from them, it was so much touching to see people so much full of love. It’s a very powerful centre we have I think, Bucharest is, because we have some very great musicians there, as you are here. Also, they have, they told Me twenty-one doctors who are practicing Sahaja Yoga. So many scientists, very open-minded people, very open-minded. And it has spread so fast, there were 6,000 people in the stadium, we could not have it in a hall, so stadium, and everyone got Realization. I was telling them the General of the military hospitals, he came to see Me personally, he got his Realization first, then he came to see Me. So humble he was, all the time he was worried how Sahaja Yoga will spread – “What are you going to do?” “How long will it take?” I mean such, sweet, sweet things he asked Me. I was amazed. This man was meeting Me only yesterday, he came to the program, got his Realization, today he is very anxious to do so much for Sahaja Yoga. So, I said, “Why don’t you come to Italy?” He said “All right, “If you call me I’ll come. I’ll come to Pune wherever You will say, to Bombay anyway”. Is very surprising, also in Bulgaria, where we went to Sofia, Read More …
Be aware of your pure desire Vienna (Austria)
Public Program. Vienna (Austria), 19 July 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 transform it, and it cannot compromise with you. It is, it has been, it will be the same. Whatever I have to tell you tonight you need not accept it blindfolded. We have had already very big problems with these blind faiths. You should have an open mind like a scientist and treat this talk as a hypothesis. But if it is proved then you have to accept as honest people. Because it is for your benevolence, it is for the benevolence of your country, it is for the benevolence of the whole world. The truth is that you are not this body, this mind, these emotions, intelligence, ego or your conditionings, but you are the pure Spirit. We see beautiful flowers around us, it’s actually a miracle. But we take it for granted. If we ask a doctor, “Who runs our heart?” he will say, “The autonomous nervous system.” But who is this ‘auto’? This they cannot answer. And who does all this living work? Who brought forth our evolution? There is no answer. The second truth is that there is a All-Pervading Power of Divine Love. It is a subtle energy which does all this living work. Now, unless and until we evolve more than what we are today, it’s not possible with this Read More …
Talk to Sahaja Yogis Vienna International Airport, Vienna (Austria)
Speech at the airport Schwechat. Vienna (Austria) 18 July 1994. I’m very happy to see you all here. It’s really nice to meet you all like this, because in Cabella I never get a chance to talk to anyone. I’m sorry I’ve had some very bad reports which I must tell you. It’s very important. I always used to praise Austrians very much that they are so many and so good, very good Sahaja Yogis. But the reports I have are horrible. Other people from other countries have told Me that, “Mother, You are praising them, but You better warn them. Because they are not taking Sahaja Yoga so seriously as they should have done. Moreover some people who come to Cabella go on talking against some other group. And they told Me there are groups formed among these Sahaja Yogis who are influenced by these groups and their grudges and their complaints. They’ve become very mental, they want to solve their problem mentally. This was a very big shock for Me. And they went to such a limit to say that, “Mother, this time You shouldn’t allow them to have any Puja.” I said, “All of them are not like that.” They said, “But still. Quite a lot of them indulge in such cheapish things that we are surprised.” I must tell you one lady came all the way to Taiwan to complain against Hamid. And she told Harald, who is a very sensible Sahaja Yogi that she has Read More …
Talk to Sahaja Yogis After Diwali Vienna (Austria)
Talk to Sahaja Yogis After Diwali I’m sorry it was so such a late time I had to come here. I had to make the food and just after dinner I came and I think the ashram is also very far away. I have to just tell you that we have had a very, very successful tour of South America. And as you must have seen the people of Romania, the people there were extremely surrendered, very surrendered people. And everywhere we had two to three thousand people and everywhere we had more than five hundred people for follow on. So you can imagine, in this short time, this is only the second time I went to Colombia, and we already have got six hundred Sahaja Yogis there. So they are very surrendered people, and though there is so called poverty, in their heart they are very good, very surrendered and they are very fast for accepting pure knowledge. While in the West, as you have seen, they are very slow to accept pure knowledge and also go on doubting till some time. I don’t know what is the reason for this. Why is it that people from countries, which are not democratic to this extent, some of them have been just despotic and quite poor. Even Rio was quite a poor country I would say, where I went. Brazilia is another one, which is coming up. And I was amazed that in Brazil the President of the Senate himself Read More …
Reality has to be known by ascending to another state of Spirit Hofburg Palace, Vienna (Austria)
Public Program. Vienna (Austria), 27 July 1992. I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset we have to know that truth is what it is. We cannot imagine about it, think about it or conceptualize it. Also unfortunately, at this human level we cannot feel it. We have to become a subtler being to feel our subtle being. We have to be the Spirit. Otherwise whatever we think about it is not reality. Reality has to be known by ascending to another state of Spirit. Now, let us know what is the truth. The truth is you are not this body, this mind – this is not your conditionings, nor your ego, emotions, but it is pure Spirit. The second truth is that there is an all-pervading Power of Divine Love, which does all the living work. We see these beautiful flowers – it’s a miracle, but we take it for granted. Look at our eyes, which is a miracle itself – it’s a camera. Look at our brain, which is such a computer. But we take it for granted and do not think about it. Who does this work? Who runs our heart? We call it in medical terminology that autonomous nervous system runs the heart. But who is this auto? All this living work is done by this all-pervading Power of Divine Love. Whatever I’m telling you, you need not take it blindfolded. But you have to keep your mind open like a scientist Read More …
The Age of Aquarius Palais Kaufmännischer Verein, Linz (Austria)
Public Program. ‘Festsaal’ of the Palais Kaufmännischer Verein Landstraße 49/Bismarckstraße 1-3, 4020 Linz, (Austria), 26 July 1992. Shri Mataji: 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 think about it and we cannot conceptualize it. And at this human awareness we cannot feel it. So to know the reality we have to become a subtler personality, the spiritual personality. That means we have to become the Spirit. Now whatever we are telling you here need not be accepted blindfolded, but should be accepted as a hypothesis, with a open mind like a scientist and if it is proved, then you have to accept it as truth. Because it is for your benevolence and for the benevolence of your country and the whole world. Most of the world problems come from human beings and most of the human problems come from these centers when they are somehow or other disturbed. This is a very special time, I call it the Blossomtime. Some people call it Last Judgment or in the Koran it’s called as Kiyama, means Resurrection Times. Also some call it as Age of Aquarius. According to Indian scriptures these are Kali Yuga. And this scripture says that, “At this time human beings will be very much confused and they will find the reality.” Now every human being is innately born with Divinity within himself, in a potential state. This Read More …
Informal gathering Vienna (Austria)
TRANSCRIPT OF VISIT TO AUSTRIA INFORMAL TALKS 1991-1025 [Transcript starts from 1:12:00. A few unclear informal exchanges from start to 45 minutes. Mother and Sahaja Yogis may be working on chakras and catches. Sounds of people and children moving in the background. There is a sitar instrumental performance playing from 45 minutes to 1:10:00]. Shri Mataji: What do you say? Sahaja Yogi: Mother, I feel both the Vishuddhi, both the Agyna, Nabhi, Central Heart, Swadishthan. [Long pause in conversation]. Shri Mataji: No use talking you know. Talking is just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. It should go into your heads. You should understand how important it is for you to meditate and keep all right. Because if you think this is a very important work we are doing, you have to work it out. Also, we must be capable, worthy of it. Worthy of the name of Sahaja Yoga isn’t it? [Phone rings]. Sahaja Yogi: Hello? We are with Shri Mataji at the moment. Can you ring back later? Can you please ring later? Yes. Thank you. [Pause in conversation]. Shri Mataji: Right.

Visit to Austria Programme and Departure Vienna (Austria)
Informal talk, visit to Austria, departure day, Vienna, 25/10/1991 Sahaja Yogi: Shri Mataji ist so glücklich, dass Sie heute mit uns sein kann. [Shri Mataji is so happy that she can be with us today] Shri Mataji: It is Hamid, you see, who managed everything. [Applause] You see, he said that: “Mother, I have come here, but I feel for all the Austrians that have not met you, they will have to meet you.” So I said: “It’s not easy; I have to have a visa.” [Laughter] And then he said: “No Mother, you don’t require a visa in Austria.” I said: “You do require, I know that.” Then I thought that, if his desire is so strong, and a desire of a Sahaja Yogi, it always masters me. [Laughter] And so I said: “Let me see in the passport.” And amazingly [Applause] And it was there till December 4th and multiple entry of the thing, nicely allowed. And it’s, I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was given in June! I don’t know how Austrian government gave me for six months with multiple entries. So also the tickets were done and everything was perfect and I’m here to see you all. Actually your desires are very powerful. I have no desires, as you know. I told them a story about once it was a guru puja in India, and I said that, I mean, they said: “What should we give?” I said: “Give me just a shawl but no sari, Read More …
The power which achieves the state of Spirit Vienna (Austria)
Public Program Day 2. Vienna (Austria), 6 August 1991. Shri Mataji: May God bless you! I bow to all the seekers of truth. I’ve told you yesterday that truth is what it is. We cannot conceptualize it, we cannot imagine it and we cannot know it with our human awareness. So we have to become a subtler being that we have to become the Spirit. Only when we become the Spirit then we will understand that this whole creation is looked after by a very subtle power of love of God Almighty. So to become a subtler being, within us is placed a mechanism about which we told you yesterday. Today I want to tell you about this power which achieves the state of Spirit and about the Spirit. This power resides in the Sacrum, in the triangular bone. And is the reflection of the Holy Ghost. While the Spirit is the reflection of God Almighty in our heart, the Spirit is the one which is just watching, like God Almighty. And the Power of God Almighty, His power of desire is the Holy Ghost, is the Primordial Mother. They talk of Father, the God, Son, the God, and nothing about the mother. How can you have Father and Son and no Mother? But they avoid it, somehow, I don’t know for what reason to talk of the Primordial Mother. But in all other scriptures there is a description of the Primordial Mother, like Athena. Atha in Sanskrit means the Read More …
How to understand the Absolute Vienna (Austria)
Public Program Day 1. CA-Tent, Vienna (Austria), 5 August 1991. I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset we have to know that truth is what it is. We cannot conceptualize it, we cannot change it, it is beyond human awareness. That means, at human awareness we cannot know the absolute truth. This is the reason why we have different theories which go against each other and we fight. Absolute truth can only be known if you become a higher person. That you have to become the Spirit. This is the fundamental truth about you that you are not this body, not this mind, not this ego, nor your conditionings but you are the Spirit. Unless and until you become absolute you cannot understand the absolute. This second truth is that there is a subtle All-pervading Power around us which does all living work. We see these beautiful flowers here, we see them, we take them for granted. They have come out of a small little seed differently. How it happens, we don’t think. Look at our eyes, what a beautiful micro-camera it is, but we just take it for granted. We have also taken our evolution for granted, from amoeba stage to this human stage. Unless and until we human beings find out the truth through this evolutionary process of becoming the Spirit, none of our problems are going to be solved. And it is very easy. Sahaja means “born with you”. And Yoga means, Read More …
Talk to Sahaja Yogis Vienna (Austria)
Talk to Sahaja Yogis, Vienna, Austria, 1991-08-04 Shri Mataji: It was really very, very nice of all of you to come to the airport. And all the sadness that I had when I left Belgium has disappeared. It is a very creditable thing that Sahaja Yoga has taken such dimensions in Vienna. Vienna is a very great, important place in Europe, as you know, a long time back. But Marie Antoinette moved here from Prussia with her [unclear] and her administrative powers. For Me also, Vienna is something very important. And spiritually, we can say it is the spiritual part of Germany. And the great sense about it is that if Germans can take to it, anything can be germinated as they say. And that’s what it is, such a great thing to see. Such a blessing upon this Earth that you people have taken to Sahaja Yoga. It is not an easy thing to tell you – Sahaja Yoga, normally. People who are so much in the modern world, professing [unclear] and so-called well educated and that is how [unclear]. In [unclear] I should say. But despite all that, here suddenly you find so many people who have not only understood Sahaja Yoga, but it’s gone to their hearts, their lives and they feel it is so important. Also, you have all taken the responsibility. Because it is now spreading through you to Hungary, and also to Czechoslovakia. Something so remarkable that you have been able to achieve. This Read More …
Evening Program, Shri Ganesha Puja Lanersbach (Austria)
1990-08-26 Talk during Evening Program, Lanersbach, Austria, Concert of the sitar player Nishat Khan Shri Mataji:Hello, [testing the mike]. This is the raga as called as ‘Miyan ki Malhar’.’ Now ”Miyan” is a person, very well known in the history of India. His name was Tansen. Actually, I don’t know what his real name was, but this was a kind of an honour name given to him by ‘Akbar the Great’, who ruled in our country. And he was a very cosmopolitan man. He had married a Hindu lady also Jodha Bai. And this Akbar also wrote ‘Ain-i-Akbar’ which is something like, just like Sahaja Yoga. He tried to integrate all the religions and gave the best principle of all the religions. This was the great work Akbar had done. Now he was also, so fond of Indian music. He had Tansen in his court, where he looked after that man. Formerly, in our country, all the kings used to look after the artists, musicians, artists and all that. So, this, he made this special raga. He is known for this raga ‘Miyan ki Malhar ‘. And another one he has made, which is the very famous one, ‘Deepak’ raga. But that, nowadays nobody plays, which is the raga by which lights used to get enlightened. Like, he would play that raga and if you had all these little, little lamps, as we use in Diwali, they used to get light up. That was said about him. And when it Read More …
Shri Ganesha Puja: The Glow of Shri Ganesha Lanersbach (Austria)
Shri Ganesha Puja, Lanersbach (Austria), 26 August 1990 Today we are celebrating the birthday of Shri Ganesha. You all know the story of His birth and I need not repeat it. But, as He was created by the Mother only, by Adi Shakti, in the same way you are all created after Him. So, you are on the path of Shri Ganesha already. Your eyes sparkle the same way His eyes sparkle. You all have the beautiful glow on your face as He had. Whether you are small, big, or old makes no difference. All the beauty comes to us through the glow of Shri Ganesha. If He’s satisfied, then we don’t have to worry about any other deities, because the power of all the deities is Shri Ganesha. He’s like a vice-chancellor sitting on every chakra. Unless and until He signs, Kundalini cannot cross through, because Kundalini’s the Gauri and is the Virgin Mother of Shri Ganesh. Now we have to understand that we are here in the Western society where so much has gone wrong because we never bothered to look after Shri Ganesha. Christ came and His message spread all over the world. He talked of things which are not practised by Christians, not at all. Because whatever they started is not based on truth. The truth is that Shri Ganesha took birth as Christ. If that is the truth, then they have to understand in the light of Shri Ganesha this great incarnation of Christ. That Read More …
Welcome Talk before Shri Ganesha Puja: Fundamentalism Lanersbach (Austria)
Talk before Shri Ganesha Puja 1990-0826 So we have all gathered here today in this country of Austria, which in Sanskrit we call it Astra. Astra means: The divine weapons. And the greatest credit, I would give to Austria is this: That you don´t find any fundamentalism of any kind, whether it is Islam, or whether it is Christian, or Hindu any kind of fundamentalism operating in this country. Which is a very, very, very rare thing. Right from Russia to England you find everywhere there is a subtle fundamentalism existing. And this country has this speciality that there is no fundamentalism. And also racialism you don´t feel here at all. In every country I have felt that there is racialism. Of course, in Russia, there isn´t. But otherwise. So this country seems to be a very open minded country and perhaps because they have such beautiful nature with them. In this beautiful nature they want to enjoy the natüre and for that you have to have an open heart. Or maybe the vice versa, the natüre must have opened their heart. So, this land has a speciality: And I am very happy you all have from all the way from so many countries, even from America, Australia, India, such far-off countries you have assembled here for this celebration and yesterday we actually saw ourselves, with our own eyes, the grace falling on this country. Cause this country deserves it. Any country which has fundamentalism behind it, will have to Read More …
Evening Program Vienna (Austria)
Evening Program, Vienna, Austria 1990-07-21 Shanta Mavshi: Shri Mataji wants that I should explain the meaning of this song to you all. I have already explained to the students who were learning. This song is mainly to say that you may call God by different names, but He is one and the same. So you may call Him Ram, you may call Him Bhrama, you may call Him Kana or Mahadev. Kana is Krishna, Shri Krishna and Mahadev is Lord Shankara’s name is Mahadev, Parasnaath. Parasnaath is the name of Mahaviras, that is those who follow Jainism. They may call Him by the name of Parasnaath. Shri Mataji: And he has a Kundalini on top of His head. Parasnaath was one of the first, the first, the [unclear]. And this one was the last. Shanta Mavshi: Yes.So and also some people even call Him by the name of Brahma, but all this is in one and that is Sarkala Brahma. Shri Mataji: He is the Paramchaitanya, completely. [unclear] self, itself. Shanta Mavshi: Yes, [unclear]. Now Bhaganabhe, the Kahavatana, that is this external forms of worship may be different. Shri Mataji: [Hindi/marathi] Different utensils are made [unclear] Shanta Mavshi: but the mud is the same. Shri Mataji: Mud is the same. Shanta Mavshi: Yes, and you may see it in different shapes. The shapes are different, but the material is the same. Shri Mataji: It’s the ruptika. Shanta Mavshi: And, So if we divide God into so many forms, it is Read More …
Interview about Sickness Meli Ashram, Vienna (Austria)
[Interview] Interviewer: And one question still please, is sickness. For me, it is very difficult to understand, what is the sense of sickness for one who.. I don’t know, what’s the reason, that… and how it can be healed with Kundalini. Shri Mataji: You see, sickness comes to you as I told you, through our centers getting exhausted. As this is one center, all right, on the left side, left sympathetic, and right sympathetic, and they join together, this is the center. So, we are using the energy of this center, that is limited, for our purpose, anything. Supposing, I’ll give you an example of – a very good example – of one’s Swadishthan chakra. It’s the second center, which looks after the aortic plexus – in the medical terminology. But it’s not complete, I mean it’s one of the parts. Now the work of the Swadishthan chakra, according to Sahaja Yoga, which has worked of course wonders with this theory, that it gives energy for the replacement of the brain cells. Because we never think about it. We are using the brain all the time we don’t think, how it is replaced, even within the medical science, they don’t think about it. So one of the work it has got, it moves here. And also it has to look after your liver, it has to look after your pancreas, it has to look after spleen, it has to look after your kidneys, it has to also look after the Read More …
The giver of the absolute truth is the Spirit Vienna (Austria)
Public Program Day 2. Vienna (Austria), 19 June 1990. I bow to all the seekers of truth. Yesterday I told you that we have to know the absolute truth. Absolute truth is the truth which cannot be challenged and cannot have a second opinion. But the giver of this absolute truth is the Spirit. The Spirit resides in your heart. Before Realization your Spirit is a witness of what you are doing. But after Realization the energy of Kundalini ignites the flame of Spirit in such a manner that your attention gets enlightened. So the Spirit is the source of light. Not this light that burns, but the light that soothes. The Spirit is the collective being within us. It is like a reflection of the Sun in different places, specially in the lakes where you can see it clearly, the God Almighty is reflected in all of us. He is reflected in everything that is being created. But the reflectors are very poor, some of them are just like stones. Only in a saint reflection of God is clear, because it is the reflection of one God Almighty, it is in everybody and so it is the collective being. So after Realization you can feel another person on your fingertips and you can feel yourself also on your fingertips. You can ask any question, like a computer the answer comes, yes or no, by means of vibrations. Once you are realized, once you are connected with the Divine power Read More …
Adi Kundalini Puja: The Advent Of Primordial Kundalini Moedling (Austria)
Shri Adi Kundalini puja. Mödling (Austria), 19 June 1990. Today we have assembled here to do the Kundalini Puja. Once we had done it in India long, long time back and this is the first time we are doing this puja here in Austria. This is the puja of the Adi Kundalini, is the Primordial Kundalini. [speaks aside] You must have seen in the hand of Athena, who is the Primordial Mother, there is a power which is a snake in the left hand. [speaks aside] And the Primordial Mother has one of Her powers, which we can say, as the Primordial Kundalini, is a part of Her. Of course, She’s beyond that, but She is reflected in human being as the Kundalini. Now one has to know that to create an incarnation, lot of work has gone into. So many things had to be envisaged. One had to have the vision that, when a human being is created, how an incarnation can help him. At different levels, we had incarnations on this Earth and they were sent with a particular idea that they should achieve a particular type of ascent in that particular time. They were all part and parcel of the Primordial Mother and they all had a very powerful Kundalini built within them. But the incarnation of this Kali Yuga is very complicated. First it had to be worked out what will be the situation in which this incarnation would be born and what sort of encounters Read More …
A subtler consciousness Vienna (Austria)
Public Program. Vienna (Austria), 18 June 1990. I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the outset we should know that truth is what it is and we cannot change it, we cannot organize it. And the truth cannot be known only at the human awareness. It requires a subtler consciousness to know the truth. So what is the truth? The truth is that you are not this body and you are not your mind, you are not these emotions. Nor you are your conditionings or your ego. You are pure Spirit. And the second truth is that all the living work is done by a subtle power which is called as Paramchaitanya in Sanskrit language. Or we can say by the All pervading power of Divine Love. We take all living work for granted. We see these beautiful flowers that have come out of very small seeds, I mean, we never even think how this work has taken place. Then we see such a balance in the nature. A apple tree grows up to a height, a rosebush grows up to a height – who controls it? So when we try to think about it, we reach a point that we do not know everything. Also we do not know the absolute truth. Truth has to be one, but there are so many opinions, so many ideologies, so many religions, so many quarrels. Why should there be any quarrels if they are based on truth? So whatever I Read More …
Talk to Sahaja Yogis: On Films Vienna (Austria)
Talk to Sahaja Yogis, Austria, Viena, 26-07-1989 Yogi: I don’t know Shri Mataji. Shri Mataji: The one you have used for your posters I have not seen that before. I don’t know who has done it. Maybe some Austrians. Austrians are very good, enlargement is so good you know. Very beautiful, as if it feels like you are sitting there. Do you have very good cameras or Yogis: I think the reason is Unclear(heart) Shri Mataji Shri Mataji: Or a very good heart. That must be the reason. Hello, look at the excitement. Yogi: He is from Yugoslavia. Shri Mataji: Hello, so going to Yugoslavia now? Hindi – Kush nazar aarahahai : they look happy. you like Hini – chana: Chickpeas? You like chana? Let her come. Come. They all love chana. What will you have then? Will you like cashew nuts? or Nothing? no? feeling shy. So we don’t get out there. Unclear() Hindi – Kitna kush mizaaz: looks happy. So now what do you want? you want chana? Come along, what do you want? Chana? Come. Take chana. Chana. Have it. Come along. Hindi – daanth he nahhe hain unke dohee daanth hain: he doesn’t have teeth, he has only 2 teeth. Yogi: Shri Mataji maybe she had few because she just had breakfast. So I think it’s time, Unclear(you, she) should not delay Unclear(), lunch. Shri Mataji: Alright, alright. Yes yes yes. Hindi – dekhanahe jata bacha girjate hain. Dada(grandfather) this is your dada? Dada yes Read More …
Arrival and Talk to Sahaja Yogis: Whatever is recorded should be accepted Meli Ashram, Vienna (Austria)
Arrival Speech. Ashram Melichargasse, Vienna (Austria), 25 July 1989. It was a wonderful time that we had in Italy when we went to that lake and I’m sure you all must have enjoyed it. But all these seminars and tours and all that are for our understanding of the spiritual urge within us and that exists in others. It is more meeting the other Sahaja Yogis together to know about other Sahaja Yogis from other countries and to enjoy the Spirit, which is so collective, because if everybody has the reflection of the Spirit, their company would enhance our joy and would give us a greater depth. See a person who is shallow, lives with himself, enjoys his selfishness and is all the time worried about himself. That’s the sign of a very shallow person. But as he starts becoming deeper and deeper, then he starts thinking of other people around. Then he goes further. He starts thinking about how this world was made, why is he on this Earth, what is the purpose of his life? And when such questions start troubling him he starts onto the path of Mahalakshmi. And when you are on the path of Mahalakshmi you get lost, you think it’s a kind of endless, bottomless pit where you cannot understand anything and you are just feeling that you have to seek something and to find out something. So when you find – we have these groups together where you find many of us are Read More …
A space between the thoughts Vienna (Austria)
1989-07-25 or 26th Public Program Day 2 in Vienna I bow to all the seekers of truth. I asked them to play this music, because the thoughts were too much [in the minds?] And this music has no words, it doesn’t give you thoughts. And that’s how thoughts can be removed very easily. One thought rises and falls off. Another thought rises and falls off. And we are jumping on the cusp of the thought. Either we are thinking about the past or about the future. But we cannot be in the present. When one thought rises and falls off, and before another rises, there is a space in between and that is the present. So when this Kundalini rises, it makes this thought smaller. And this central area of silence expands. That is the time we become thoughtlessly aware. When we look at a beautiful carpet, all kinds of thoughts start coming in our head. If this is my carpet, then I am worried about the insurance. But if it is somebody else’s carpet, then I start thinking, where will I get such a beautiful carpet, how much I’ll have to pay? I cannot enjoy the creation of beauty and joy, that the artist has tried to pour into it. So when I see this carpet, and I am in thoughtless awareness, all the joy of it’s creation starts flowing, like a river Ganges, cool vibrations start flowing and you feel completely relaxed. So the first step we have to Read More …
Mental projection does not know how to keep the balance Vienna (Austria)
1989-07-24 Public Program Day 1 in Vienna 1989 I hope you are enjoying the Indian music. Now I have asked them to sing a song which was written in the 12th century by a very famous poet called Namadeva. This is a folklore now sung in the villages of India for all these years where he has described the joy of Self-realization. So he says that “I have given up everything, my anger, my temper”, all these things which are my relations because he sings like a lady as if there’s my husband, my father in law, I have given up everyone. “But now o Mother Kundalini you be awakened, and give me” he asked “oh Mother give me the Yoga” means the union with the Divine. And that’s how in the village they sing and sing about getting realization and raising the Kundalini. And I hope you’ll clap to them and enjoy. [Mother talks in Hindi 6.04 – 6.15] Some of the Sahaja Yogis can come here, from Austria and other places to sing.. So this is the folklore and sung in a rustic way in the villages. Ambe, Ambe means the Kundalini and they are singing ude, ude means rise, rise. [Song – Mother starts talking again at 20.15] I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset we have to know that truth cannot be conceptualised. It’s not a mental achievement because human mind has its own limitations and a breakthrough has to be Read More …
What happens when the chakras get enlightened? Austria Center Vienna (Kongresshaus), Vienna (Austria)
Public Program Day 2, 09-06-1989 I bow to all the seekers of Truth. Yesterday, I was [UNCLEAR] that so many of you have felt the cool breeze of the Holy Ghost. This is the All-Pervading Power of God’s love about which all the Scriptures have written.But in modern times because we never felt this breeze, we have even denied the existence of God But once you get connected to this Divine force, then it starts working through you in such a wonderful way that you are amazed. As you see this instrument that I have here, has to be connected to the mains in the same way, every human-being is to be connected to the mains and that is this Power, which I’m talking about. This is what Christ has said that you have to be born again. Now in India, we call a person who is a Brahmin, the one who has known this Brahma – the All-Pervading Power – as Dwijah meaning, twice born. And even a bird is called as ‘Dwijah’, in Sanskrit language, meaning, twice born. It is an egg first and then it becomes a bird. But we have many people in India who just brand themselves as Brahmins though they are not twice born. In the same way, you find it everywhere that they just take a brand, “I’m this, I’m that,” but they’re not If you are a twice born person then, you have to feel this All-Pervading Power. Read More …

Kundalini has to be awakened University of Graz, Graz (Austria)
Public Program, Graz (Austria), 10 June 1988. I bow to all the seekers of truth. This song that you have heard has been composed in the year of 1600. And in this song the poet has sung for the rustic people, in their language. That, “Oh Mother, give us our Realization!” “Jogawa” means the yoga, the union with the Divine and the Sahaja Yoga means spontaneous. It fills My heart to see how since long the seekers have been asking for this union with the Divine. What a search! What a seeking! By the very simple people of the villages. Today we have so many people who are great seekers of truth. At the same time there are many people who are in the market, they are selling all kinds of things in the market, in the name of the Divine or God. One has to realize that this union with the Divine works out through a living force. Just like a seed gets sprouted spontaneously when placed in the Mother Earth, in the same way this residual force of Kundalini is sprouted. Now in the song when they are saying “Ude, Ude, Ambe!” Then they are meaning – Ambe means the Kundalini, Ude means now please awaken, awaken, awaken! So this Kundalini has to be awakened. This is the residual force within us, which is in 3 ½ coils. And which when awakened passes through the six centers, pierces through your fontanel bone area, then you get your real Read More …

The Story of Markandeya Vienna (Austria)
Conversation with Sahaja Yogis, Ashram of Vienna, (Austria), 9 June 1988. You know the story of Markandeya or not? I tell you the story of Markandeya. You see, his father had no children and the father and mother were unhappy. So they prayed to Shiva and they said that we want to have a son. Shiva said, “I’ll give you the son, but I will have to take him back after eight years. So he’ll only exist till he is about eight years of age.” So, they gave that boon to him plus this kind of a curse. The parents were very upset that “our child will die after eight years of age”, very upset. But they found the child very bright, brilliant and also shining and very religious. One day he asked his father, “Why do you always so worry, I mean, after all I am your son?” So they said that it is said so, eight years or sixteen years, something like that. “Now I will be losing you very soon. Who can surpass Shiva?” He said it, “So, I cannot think we can really ask anyone to neutralize the curse upon us. If you are not born to us we would not have been so attached to you. Now you are born to us, we are so much attached to you.” He was a very wise person, he said: “No, I know someone, I know Adi Shakti. And he went to this place where you got to Read More …
ORF Radio Interview and Workshop Vienna (Austria)
1988-0609 Radio Interview and Workshop Interviewer: Ask you to tell me first to give me a basic definition of what’s your work in. Shri Mataji: Sahaja Yoga. Interviewer: Yes. What is it? I main idea of it? Shri Mataji: Sahaja. Saha means ‘with’. ‘Ja’ means born. Born with you. That is spontaneous. Yoga means union with the Divine. Now many people in modern times won’t believe there’s anything like this. Supposing I say there is. Keep an open mind of a scientist you must accept it as a hypothesis to begin with. Now we have a Divine power, a very subtle power everywhere but we can’t feel it. With our human awareness we cannot feel it. With human awareness we also don’t not know the absolute truth. [even in a relative way.] So there has to be a break-through and the break-through has to take place in our universal [consciousness] And Sahaja Yoga is the method which gives you that break-through. Interviewer: How does it do this? Now within us is placed an energy which we call as kundalini in Sanskrit language,which is a residual energy in the triangular bone or the sacrum, also means sacred bone, so maybe the Greeks knew bout it. It rises like a primule in a seed, passes through six centres and pierces through the last one here and gives you what we call as self-realisation, or real baptism, here. That’s what it is. And then on your central nervous system you can feel it, Read More …
