The science of the roots Austria Center Vienna (Kongresshaus), Vienna (Austria)

Public Program. Kongresshaus, Vienna (Austria), 9 June 1988. I bow to all the seekers of truth. Yesterday I was happy 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 (ed: microphone) that I have here has to by 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 am 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 dwijaha – meaning twiceborn. And even a bird is called as dwijaha in Sanskrit language meaning twice-born, it is an egg-first and then it becomes the bird. But we have many people in India, just brand themselves as Brahmins, though they are not twice-born. In the same way you find it everywhere that they just take a pride, “I am this, I am that,” but they are not. If you are a twice-born person, then you have to feel this All Read More …

Unclear() Yogi: Shri Mataji, the first question I would like to ask you is its one of the facts that are known here in Austria about you, that you were worked together with Mahatma Gandhi Shri Mataji: unclear(not subtle), not working together I am not saying that way, but you see, when I was child he took me a unclear (word), I was living with him (Ed: Mahatma Gandhi) from the age of seven years quite some time that certain things of course he realized in Me perhaps. And he was a very kind person, to children especially, but a very great disciplinarian. To himself and to others also, but with children he was very kind and I used to meet him quite often. But My parents both were with him. And My father went to jail many a times, My mother went to jail. And I too took a very dynamic role when I was very young – about 18 years of age. 18, 19 in 1942-movement. And I organized lots of things when they all were in jail.

Public Program, Vienna (Austria), 8 June 1988. I bow to all the seekers of truth. Today we find in the whole world a great inner movement to seek the truth. This movement has come because we feel that so far whatever we have tried we have not been very successful. We are not being happy, satisfied. All kinds of ideologies, religions came into being. But they have failed to give what they promised about it. This failure for every honest and thinking man has opened a new era of seeking. And this era of seeking has to culminate into something substantial, has to give the light of reality to people and not just talking. If you categorize the past enterprises of people into politics or into religion you can easily see the principle behind it was either money-oriented or power-oriented. All religions have been money-oriented. They use the name of great incarnations to make money. And people also very humbly accepted that, “We have to pay money to these people who are teaching us religion.” The another side of all these religious bodies have been to give us a kind of a idea that they are very powerful. They make you fight with each other. These organizations have created soldiers out of you; militaries out of you. This has happened in the past and it is happening even today. We have to be very alert and understand that God does not want you to fight among yourselves. God has created Read More …

Shri Ekadasha Rudra Puja: Ekadasha Principle is built-in the Void Moedling (Austria)

AuthorLeave a comment

Shri Ekadasha Rudra puja, Moedling (Austria), 8 June 1988. Today is a very important day in the history of spirituality. The Ekadasha Rudra Incarnation has been prophesised by every prophet, that the Ekadasha Avatara will be coming and it will destroy all the negativity, all the anti-God activities. Ekadasha Principle actually is built-in [the] Void because when the saints wanted to cross the ocean of illusion through their meditation they were hindered, troubled, tortured, and slaughtered by negative forces. These negative forces came up through the failings of human beings. When human beings failed they saw other people who were so much better than them and they saw that they are nowhere compared to many other human beings, or sometimes out of anger and temper the villainous temperament grew into them and then it formed this anti-God negativity in the Void. So Void has given actually the villainy to come into form. As you see, in Sahaja Yoga, we must have seen it many a times that, when you go to a wrong guru or to a wrong person or you do unauthorised worshipping your Left Void catches. So in the Left Void all those destructive forces acted. Also, in the process of evolution, there were many plants, animals who were destroyed because they were not in the centre, because they were egoistical, some were cunning, some were too big, some were too small and they were all thrown out and when they were thrown out they felt that they Read More …

Welcome Speech. Vienna (Austria), 7 June 1988. These flowers should be put in the water, I think. And I have also brought some flowers, they have sent you all flowers from there and best wishes to all of you. All the English Sahaja Yogis came to the airport and send their best wishes to you all. And there have been miracles and miracles. One of them was, there is, you know Harry Jairam, he’s a very ordinary student and he was doing something, I think with electromagnetic work he was doing, and suddenly he discovered a kind of a switch which he does not know how it has come to him, and he doesn’t know how it works. So he has been given a very big job and now he has to lecture to people and tell them how it works but he doesn’t know how it works.

Thank you. Sit down, sit down. There is room this side I think for some people. We all have gathered here from so many countries. It’s very heartening to see how Sahaja Yoga is now spreading smoothly into the countries who have different type of ideologies. Sahaja Yoga is a very pleasant beautiful blessing to all of us.

Public Program in Graz University (Austria), 14 October 1987. It is very gratifying to see that there are so many people here who want to seek the truth. The truth is absolute. You cannot put it in a concept. Or you cannot form an idea about it. It cannot be a conjecture. It cannot be a theory or a philosophy. It is to be felt on your central nervous system. As you see here the beautiful flowers and can feel them. In the same way you have to feel the truth. If you are still under the spell of some sort of an illusion that this is truth, this is truth, this is truth, then you cannot achieve the state from where you have to know the truth. The human awareness at this point of its evolution has reached its maximum. And all the knowledge we have through our human awareness is like the knowledge of the tree outside. But we have to have the knowledge of the roots. And this is the knowledge of the roots. You may just now think that this might be another philosophy. But you should have a scientific mind, an open mind, as if this statement or what I am saying is a hypothesis. And that whatever is to be known if it is there then you have to accept as the truth. So the truth is very simple that the human beings have not reach their absolute state. That’s why there is confusion Read More …

Public Program Day 2 at Audimax University. Vienna (Austria), 13 October 1987. I bow to all the seekers of truth. As I told you yesterday that truth is not a concept. When people start establishing something as truth there arises the problem. Because truth can not be organized, can not be ordered, can not be changed, it is what it is. And today the truth is that the time has come for people to get their resurrection. That’s the time has come where people have to ascend to their higher being. As in Koran described very clearly as ”Kiyama” – is the time of resurrection. Said very clearly that your hands will speak. And they will give witness about you. This is the time of Last Judgment. God is not going to weigh people or to judge them. It is you only in your ascent are going to judge yourself. And there are people who are a special category today, who are seeking something higher. Now yesterday a question was raised about the religion part. All these religions which have come on this earth are product of Divine force. All the prophets and incarnations, all of them came on this earth to propound a special milestone within us. On the Tree of Life all of them grew one after another. But people took out or removed them from the Tree of Life saying, “This is my religion, this is my religion.” So believing into something that is dead. So, what Read More …

Public Program Day 1 at Audimax University. Vienna (Austria), 12 October 1987. I bow to all the seekers of truth. The truth is beyond human awareness. Whatever we know about this world, what we see, what we feel, is a very wee bit. The truth is that in your evolutionary process you have not yet touched the Absolute. And the truth has to be absolute. Now you see those plants here, everybody sees the plants and everybody knows it is the plants. But everybody asks Me why there are so many ideologies and philosophies about reality. Reality has to be one and absolute. And is seen, felt by everyone. Now what you have seen here, what he has told you I would say is the knowledge of the roots. In the West we have grown outside like a tree, but in the East people had time to find out the roots. As Indians had to learn a lot about science, I think it’s important that all of us should know also about the science of the roots. A scientific mind has to be an open mind; it should not be a closed mind, which does not want to see the other side of it. If a hypothesis is put before a scientist, he works it out and if it is proved correct he accepts it as laws. So the hypothesis is first to be listened to, then if it is proved that it is absolutely correct then we have to Read More …

Advice on small children in ashram Meli. Vienna (Austria), 9 July 1986. . [Unclear] which are going to the Primary Schools. But even those who are not going to Preschools are the small children when they are born. And that`s the time one has to be much more important. Because that`s the time they are the most impressionable is when they are born. I have given some instructions for the children: how to do all the things when the child is born, how the mother must be respected for 40 days and how the child must be looked after and massaged and all those things, I hope you have got all these things with you. But certain thing in that, I didn`t mention which are like medicines and things like that, simple medicines that should be given to children. The reason is, your thing was prepared by Lewis and I couldn`t tell him all that. But, for example, a very simple thing is like this. Supposing they are boiling the milk for the baby with some water, if they are mixing up water and milk. Then the problem is, if you separately boil them and mix, then the child will get cold and constipation or maybe diarrhea. But mostly constipation and cold, and nose will be always running. So basically, you give a child a problem, that this cold might continue forever. So, what you have to do is to boil both the things together, together. Start from the un-boiled Read More …

Reporter: Do You, can describe a little bit the circumstances where you were grown up? Shri Mataji: My family? Reporter: Yes. Shri Mataji:  I belong to a family of very enlightened people. My father was a linguist and he was master of fourteen languages. He knew about twenty-six languages and he translated even Koran-e-Sharif into Hindi language. My Mother was in those days, was a Honors in Mathematics. So both were very well educated and enlightened people. At the time of My birth, My mother dreamt something which she could not explain, but after that she had a great desire to go and see a tiger in the open field. My father was a great hunter, because tigers were a menace in the area where we were living. It was a hill station called Chhindwara. So there was a king who was very much interested in My father. Somehow or the other a letter came that there’s a tiger, a very big tiger that has appeared and they are frightened of him that he might be a man-eater. So My father took My Mother and Me to that place. And they were sitting what we call as a machhan, where they built something, for people to sit on top of a tree, from where they can shoot nicely.

Second Public Program Day 2. University in Vienna (Austria), 9 July 1986. One has to realize that truth is what it is. You cannot put your convictions on that, nor can you change it, nor can you destroy it. It will remain the same as it has been. Those who are cowardly or those who are ambitious, those who are full of ego cannot see the truth.Like yesterday, one boy came here as you saw him like a beaten dog, and he was saying something, nobody heard him. Instead of that, if he had any love for himself he should have taken Realization. Now, they belong to certain organizations, say example, somebody who wants to obstruct the work of God, and they try to hamper others – for what? The same organization in Geneva, it was so absurd, there are very well know organizations everywhere, and the lady brought a Bible to hit Me. And it was such a big joke for Me (Shri Mataji laughing) to see that she had come to hit Me with a Bible. And I started roaring with laughter, instead of getting any fear from her, “Oh,” I said, “That’s wonderful.” It’s all on the tape, of course, but I told her, “Why are you mad? Who is paying you?

Public Program Day 1, Vienna (Austria), 8 July 1986. I bow to all the seekers of truth. You’ve already heard about the system that exists within us. This knowledge is the knowledge of the roots. The knowledge that we have about the outward world is the knowledge of the tree. So to understand this knowledge, first of all we have to use it like a hypothesis. And like an open minded scientist we should try to see if it is true or not. We know that we have evolved from the amoeba stage to this stage, but we have not reached our absolute state. If we were at absolute state there would have been no wars, no quarrels, no fighting. Our consciousness would have been a Collective Consciousness. Today we see the whole world full of confusion and turmoil. And it is so very shocking to look at the future what are we taking our progeny into. If we understand the dangerous precipices on which we are standing today, we’ll think about it: What are we going to give in this generation to our progeny? We talk of peace, but there is no peace in the hearts of people. So one has to realize that there must be some methods, some more doing needed to achieve that state of peace. All the outward movement you have done on scientific things, on emotional style or anything that you have worked out so far has led us to nowhere. The person who Read More …

Press Conference. Vienna (Austria), 7 July 1986. Alright we are here to inform you about a power which is within us and the power that can give you what is promised by all the saints, scriptures and all the incarnations. Today when you see the young people in every country – especially in the West – you`ll find they are not satisfied with their own atmosphere, their lives and they think that there is something missing and they are extremely confused. Now when they are confused they are seeking something beyond, something unknown to them. In that seeking, they may take to anything extreme, drugs, could be alcoholism, or some other perversions which cause horrible diseases, incurable diseases. Instead of condemning them we have to see why they are doing all these things what is the purpose? Some of them also went to some gurus which are in the market. Especially when they see the religious people and the religions, they cannot believe that religion can give such horrid experiences and some of them are anti-God, anti-religion also. But if you deal with the problems sympathetically, you cannot blame them, because they are intelligent, aware people. So now we have two categories of people. One: the ones who are not seeking at all, and another: the ones who want to find out solutions to the problems. In every generation we had people who revolutionise because they do not like a particular system, or do not like a particular style of Read More …

The way the [autel ?] was arranged so beautifully and organized so beautifully, so that nobody felt any strain whatsoever. Of course in Sahaja Yoga there are always ups and downs. As you have seen, we try to do our level best, but still sometimes you feel that there can be some mistakes we might have committed. But there’s – it is not for you to be upset about it. Because once you have reached the shores of joy then you should not give it up for anything. Because it is own your choice whether you want joy or you want unhappiness. Now in this Guru Puja I felt everybody reached a very great height of achievement and have become the joy itself. Now whatever your past was, whatever mistakes you might have committed in the past in your ascent or whatever might have happened in the past because of others to you, is all lost in the past, the ocean of the past.

Now Kathak word, as you know, comes from the word Katha. Katha means the story. It means the story. My God bless you. And the story is to be told, and this is a very, very ancient style of dancing, which was practiced in the northern part of India, and then part of it also went to the south, and they used it in a different way. Now Kathak is so ancient and so traditional, that it has gone various changes and various aspects, have been expressed in this style of dancing. To begin with, it was originally done to express the stories about the gods and goddesses, and their different way of dealing with human beings. Then gradually it became subtler and subtler. Then they started performing also the dances about the Parabrahma Shakti and all those things. Later on when the Muslims came to north India, they introduced their delicate style to this style of dancing, and one of the Nawabs of Lucknow was very much fond of Kathak dancing, and he himself introduced so many ideas in this.

I must be the luckiest guru to get the outside nature reproduced here so beautifully. After seeing this, no guru can escape complete melting of his heart. Actually, My disciples are very clever people. They can neutralize any guru. So that guru’s staff which is used for disciplining the disciple also melts away into a lotus. Every time it’s such a beautiful surprise to see how Sahaja yogis are getting one with the Divine. The expression of their joy, the conception of the Divine you can see very clearly. This is how I want you all to sit in the Kingdom of God as I am sitting today. We have to realise that we are now the part and parcel of that cosmic consciousness itself – the Brahma. The One that creates, which coordinates, which plans into all the details and the One that loves through its creation, through its expression is that cosmic consciousness.

It is very clearly described in that. You can have a look at it how they saw the real picture of truth. And the second one, we’ll read it out to you about the great poet in India, called Rabindranath Tagore, what he saw at Ganapatipule. Where you might see the word called Bharat. Bharat is the real word of India. India was given the name to us by Alexander (ed: the Great), but actually the real name of India is Bharat. Because there was a great king called Bharat. From there this word comes – Bharat. All right. So first they will read out the part which is about the vision he saw. Which is so clear cut. Those who have been to India have been dancing on the streets of India in villages, Indian villages. We remember exactly what it is how he saw you right there.

One thing is that Austria has never given Me any problem. Like in the center, always standing in the right path, taking to wisdom, helping every way possible to solve the problems of other nations. As I said that it is standing between the two extremes in geography, in the same way, it is very much so, as if it was fed up with the aggressiveness on one side and the depressiveness on the other side.

Yesterday, those who have felt the Cool Breeze in the hand should put their hands on the table like this, because it has started already but while My speech is going on they will feel it more. Everyone can do it, it’s all right, even if you have not felt yesterday. So yesterday I told you that the truth has to be felt on your central nervous system. They say there is all-pervading power which does all the living work. You have to feel it, it’s not just a picture or a symbol or a talk or a topic, but you have to feel that, this is the time! Because people have been talking about it so far, the time had not come. But those who told the truth did say about these times which are some special times. So those who say that, “We believe in God” or, “We believe in Christ” or, “We believe in communism” or, “We believe in democracy”, are just mentally believing into it. I would say I am quite a great capitalist because I have all the powers. And I am the greatest communist because I can’t live without sharing it with others.

First Public Program in Technische Hochschule, Vienna (Austria), 6 May 1985. I bow to all the seekers of truth. It is very important at this time to know that human beings are not complete, that there is something more to be achieved to be complete. Whether you go to the north or south, east or west, you do not find people joyous. So the conclusion should be that whatever has been our so-called achievements, has been of no avail. On the contrary, in the modern times, say about twenty years back we can say, so many new words have come up, which people like Me can’t understand. Like tensions, like problems – I don’t understand. But all these have come to us through various channels and are settled in our conditioning. While people have talked against conditioning, that we shouldn’t have condition, we have conditioned ourselves with all these theories and talks about something that is unknown. Like psychologists, you have to go to a psychologist as if everybody is an insane person. Everybody must have a lawyer and must have a psychologist to hang around. There is no need to have a psychologist for sane people. So instead of improving we have gone down. There are certain diseases that have developed now in America, like AIDS and all that, have come to us through our bad conditioning by Mr. Freud.

These are specially created cells through the working of the Swadishthana. Passing through all the chakras, when they arrive at Sahasrara they are equipped to handle the brain’s activity without getting involved into other elements in the body. In the same way the Sahaja Yogis are not to be involved with the other cells, human beings, of the body of this Universe. The first thing that happens to a Sahaja Yogi at the Sahasrara level [is] that he becomes beyond, ateet. So, many things he transcends. [He’s] kalateet, he goes beyond time, time is his slave. If you have to go somewhere then suddenly you discover that everything is working [at] about the same time when you are able to do it. Read More …

Evening Program, Eve of Sahasrara Puja after Nirvikalpa talk Laxenburg (Austria)

AuthorLeave a comment

Evening Program, Eve of Sahasrara Puja after Nirvikalpa talk Do you know the meaning of this one? We have the translation. Oh, I see. But the one thing is there now, you see. It has to be rhythmic, otherwise, if it is not proper rhyme and also, in a proper rhythm, as you say “taal”. Any music, say it’s English, it’s western, whatever it is. It has to have that link. In the western music, whatever was composed they used to us beats i think, in the older times. But in the modern times there are no beats. There is no mariadas, nothing. So, in our Sahaja Yoga songs you all must have mariadas, you cannot just sing something without any beat. You must definitely have beats. If it is a 4-beat sound or it’s a, I don’t know how many beats you have, but we have a least 28 also. I mean, ours is over complicated. But doesn’t matter, you need not do that, 28 is too much. But up to 16 is simple. So, it must be in beats first of all, and the tune should be as such, that it should form a melody. That’s important. Because any tune anywhere, going anywhere, moving anywhere. You see, this kind of composition takes your mind from this to that, to that, to that. But if it’s a melody so you come back again on the Sam. On the same point, again, on the same theme, you see. When you Read More …

Talk: You have to be in Nirvikalpa, Eve of Sahasrara Puja Laxenburg (Austria)

Author3 Comments

Evening before Sahasrara puja, “You have to be in nirvikalpa”. Vienna, May 4, 1985. It’s very gratifying to see so many Sahaja Yogis have come to celebrate the Sahasrar day. Without breaking the Sahasrara we could not have achieved the ascent en masse. But the Sahasrara, which is the brain, has gone into too much complications in the West and the nerves are very much twisted, one upon another. To keep Sahasrara open should be very easy if the Western brains could understand and be aware about your Mother. When your Mother is the Deity of Sahasrara the only way to be able to keep the Sahasrara open has to be complete surrendering. For that many ask Me, “How do we do [it]?” It’s a very funny question – it is irrelevant. If your Sahasrara has been opened out by someone, and luckily that is the Deity before you, it should be the easiest thing to surrender, but it is not. It is difficult because the attention that has come up through the cells of the brain, expressing itself through the cells of the brain, is polluted, it is impure, it is destructive; it spoils the nerves and when the nerves are spoiled, the light of the Spirit does not shine on the nerves and you feel the inability to surrender. Normally, it should be the easiest thing to do. So, we have to mentally approach ourselves. We have to talk to ourselves and say to ourselves, “What are you Read More …

The time has come for people to get their resurrection Vienna (Austria)

Public Program day 2, the time has come for people to get their resurrection I bow to all the seekers of Truth. As I told you yesterday that Truth is not a concept When people start establishing something as Truth there arises the problem because Truth cannot be organized, cannot be ordered, cannot be changed it is what it is. And today the Truth is, that the time has come for people to get their resurrection, that the time has come where people have to ascend to their higher being. As in Koran described very clearly, is Kiama is the time of resurrection. Said very clearly, that your hands will speak and they will give witness about. This is time of Last Judgment. God is not going to weigh people to judge them. It is you only, in your ascent, are going to judge yourself. And there are people who are a special category today, who are seeking something higher. Now, yesterday a question was raised about the religion part. All these religions which have come on this earth, are product of Divine force. All the prophets and Incarnations, all of them came on this earth to propound a special milestone within us. On the tree of life, all of them grew one after another but people took out or removed them from the tree of life saying, “This is my religion, this is my religion.” So believing into something that is dead. So, what we see today, is a Read More …

Sahasrara Puja Seminar, Talk to Sahaja Yogis: Nirananda Vienna (Austria)

“Nirananda”, Vienna Ashram (Austria), 2 May 1985. It is so joyful to be with you all again here in Vienna. A poet came to Vienna long time back from India, he said that walking on the streets of Vienna the heart starts beating in a poetic rhythm and the ripples of poetry start flowing.  So, there have been people who have been seekers before in this place definitely and that they are again sort of reborn. So we are all looking forward to Sahasrara Day, which is a very great thing and that you all are here to take up the task of receiving all the Sahaja Yogis and looking after them. Now the atmosphere, as I said, of Vienna itself, is very poetic. I’m sure Sahasrara Day will be a great experience for all of you.  Poetry is like moonlight and when it falls upon any matter, it enhances the beauty and gives it a charisma and the language is so beautiful that it hides all the ugliness as the moonlight hides all the detailed ugliness. It creates an atmosphere – so meditative. This is what is Sahaja Yoga; that it makes our life the prose into poetry – the poetry of experiences and events that take place. Like today, when we were coming by plane, three of us wanted to sit in one line, and that we had two seats together and one on the side. Now Dr. Rustom and myself sat together and Dr. Spiro sat on Read More …

After the minimum level we find out, what is the minimum level, it goes on – and we put it there. Now what happens, that the water is collected, it is sucked in through here, see. We don’t suck in any sand also. There’s a way of doing it by which we take it in the center of the river. Sahaja Yogi: So we can use this part of the river for rice – for growing rice? Shri Mataji: We can do a lot on this side – we can do a lot on this side. But this one is taken into the depth of the river. Because you see this much is, what is it, it’s just a pipe, that’s all. That’s not much of an expense, this pipeline, not much of an expense, from where the water is sucked in through this. So that’s not much of a thing for us – pipeline. Only this thing should be taken into the center. And then this area can be used for making some plants, something we can use, which are growing on the water – watermelons, lotuses, watermelons, all these things we can do. But lotus doesn’t grow on the river. It grows on the lake. So like that we can have watermelons and other Read More …

Whatever is unknown comes to you through the grace of the Divine Vienna (Austria)

AuthorLeave a comment

Public Program Day 2. Vienna (Austria), 6 September 1984. I bow to all the seekers of truth. As I told you yesterday, that Truth cannot be known through mental process. You can only know whatever is visible. Whatever is unknown comes to you through the grace of the Divine. Even Einstein has said: “When I was so tired finding out the theory of relativity, I was lying in my garden and playing with soap bubbles and from somewhere unknown the theory of relativity dawned upon me.” So this unknown comes to us from the unconscious. But still we are not very much comprehensive of the completeness of this unknown. Anything unknown is not Divine. The Divine is the one, as I told you, has to be felt on your central nervous system as Truth. Now the way we look at the unknown is really very confusing. Instead of telling you how we look at the unknown I will tell you how it is. Now in this diagramm you can see there are three lines shown clearly within ourselves. These are all sublte centers within us, they comprise our autonomous nervous system. We call it autonomous nervous system without asking, who is this “auto”. Auto is the Spirit within us. But these three channels represent on the left-hand-side our left sympathetic nervous system, on the right-hand-side the right sympathetic and in the center the parasympathetic. Now the sympathetic nervous system, which is left and right, are used by us whenever we Read More …

Public Program Day 1. Vienna (Austria), 5 September 1984. Shri Mataji: I bow to all the seekers of truth. It is so enamouring to see so many seekers in Vienna who have come to receive their Realization. Sahaja Yoga is not a new thing. In the tradition of spirituality it is mentioned about 14.000 years back by Markandeya. That ultimately it is the force within you of the Holy Ghost, which is called as Kundalini residing in the triangular bone has to give the Realization. But for that happening human being had to be prepared. People had to be balanced. And that is how many prophets came on this earth after that in the same tradition to prepare people to have that balance. Right from Abraham, Moses we see them, follow them up, up to Raja Janaka who was the father-in-law of Rama. And later on we had so many others like Mohammed Sahib, Nanak Sahib on this earth to tell us about having a balance in live. They taught us moderation and not to go to extremes. You can see within ourselves we have two sides – one is the left, another is the right side. But the human nature is that that whatever one may try they make extreme of everything – they can do it. Like when they talked about God they went to the extreme of thinking they where God themselves or they thought that now God can be organized by human beings. Because of this Read More …

Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Radio Interview, Oe3 Dabei 05 September, 1984, Vienna, Austria INTERVIEWER: But I don’t understand too much about that subject, that You as a lady are the teacher, not only the teacher, the founder of a yoga–theory. Is this in common in India, that also women do it? I read that You say that all comes from Mother Nature and therefore are there many women that were teachers in the case You are, or are You in this sense of course a unique person? SHRI MATAJI: (Shri Mataji laughing) It’s a rather embarrassing question, isn’t it? I think a Mother can do better job than anybody else, in this respect, but you have to have a lot of patience with people, isn’t it? Say if it was Christ, He is very nice, He got crucified and finished the job. You see, He was so disgusted and Shri Krishna would take His Sudarshan and kill people. But if you have to really emancipate people, if you have to really see that they get what they have, you have to have real patience of a Mother. INTERVIEWER: So can You give me some not private details on Your family’s life. I read as well in Your bio, that now Your daughters are married, and then You started to do what You are doing nowadays. So did You influence them as they were kids? Or when did You start to create Your theory, Your yoga? SHRI MATAJI: No, Read More …

Ready for the War? by Gregoire from Nirmala Yoga 1983 Vol. 3 No. 18 Vienna (Austria)

Author1 Comment

‘Ready for the war ?’ asked Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi a choir of Sahaja Yogis who were singing some battle hymn on tho tenth February ‘83 in Delhi. Well, are we ready ? What weapons do we master, what are the rules of the battlefield, what about tactics and strategy? THE WEAPONS: Weapons are of two kinds: defensive (shield armour, helmet) and offensive (sword, spear, bow and arrows). At the timo of Shri Rama the fight was rather uncomplicated : I aim my arrow. I shoot. I kill… and it’s a great pleasure to see the rakshasa falling. At the time of Shri Krishna the importance of the weapons’ quality was immense: Arjuna would not have defeated Kama had not Shri Indra tricked Kama into giving him the breast plate from Shri Surya that mode Kama invulnerable At the time of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi what are the weapons of the men of God? Upgraded weaponry of the twentieth Century’s war of the yogis is too complex a subject to bo odoquatly introduced here. Furthermore the Sahajland Intelligence Service would not allow the release of sensitve. classified informations on yogic defence systems that the bhootish nasties are still unsuccessfully trying to penetrate. However I have been permitted to expose here a few basic principles. Defensive weapons: The essence of the yogic defence system is expressed in one word : purification! Time and again we are using the techniques of Sahaja Yoga to cleanse the various koshas (envelopes) of our psychosomatic Read More …

Conversation About Indian Projects Vienna (Austria)

Conversation. Vienna (Austria), 7 September 1983. Sahaja Yogi: [asking about taking drugs & punishment – mostly inaudible] Shri Mataji: So I think, when they come outside, they do it. He was outside in London, in Brighton he met Me, this boy. And then he was better, but again he took to it, I don’t know why. You see, for that you must keep the company of Sahaja Yogis to get rid of your bad habits to – see, if you keep their company then in collectivity it washes off and you’ll feel better. But if do not keep the company of the collective then what happens – your individual habits just crawl up again and take charge. I give the analogy of a butter and butter milk, you see, but when you are churning, what happens? Part of the butter sometimes sticks here and there, little little stops, though it is a butter, but still it sticks here. Doesn’t go with the whole, so it is left in the buttermilk and it’s thrown away. So, like that, you see one should not stray out of the collectivity, it’s a very big force in collectivity, also where there is collectivity I remain. One should not go out from collectivity. Whatever work you are doing, take three, four Sahaja yogis also with you to be together, because negativity is very cunning and it will attack a person who is a little bits. And also other things like, you see, the social customs, Read More …

When you become thoughtlessly aware, you become present in the present thumbnail

When you become thoughtlessly aware, you become present in the present Urania, Vienna (Austria)

AuthorLeave a comment

Public Program Day 3. Urania, Vienna (Austria), 6 September 1983. I bow to all the seekers of Spirit. We have already heard about the Kundalini, the chakras, the balancing process in our body. Now, when the Kundalini rises and when She crosses this center called as Agnya Chakra, then you become thoughtlessly aware, called as Nirvichara Samadhi. A thought rises and falls off, another thought comes and falls off; it disappears into the past. It may come from future or from past, but in between these two thoughts there is a gap and this gap is the present. So when you become thoughtlessly aware, you become present in the present, because there are no thoughts coming from the past or from the future. See, as I see you just now as you are, I don’t have to think about, I know you are there. And if this state exists for everything – that you don’t have to think about it – the knowledge is absolutely identified with your mind. So this process of thinking cannot be stopped by any other method but Kundalini awakening. But sometimes, if you get possessed by something, then maybe you just don’t know what you are doing, you are just confused. That’s a state where you are not yourself, you are not aware. But this I’m telling you about thoughtless awareness. At this stage also you start manifesting certain powers of that stage. Like as if you become governor, then you get the powers of Read More …

Public Program Day 2. Urania, Vienna (Austria), 5 September 1983. To all the seekers of reality, I bow. Yesterday I talked to you about the development of consciousness within us and the transformation we have to accept as a result of this primal force within us. We are living in a world which is full of confusion. We see no solution to our problems. Today only when I went to the radio, he asked Me a question: “What is the solution for the poverty of this world?” Then for the political crisis. There are so many problems, that it is better to talk about the solution. By changing your political systems, economic systems, social systems, you have achieved nothing. From going from one extreme to another extreme you have achieved nothing. Some people are poor in money, some are in Spirit. The countries which we, like India, we can say, is a very poor country but people are happier, much more generous and much more hospitable. And very much more secured. While the people in the West, where they are supposed to be developed, the problems are much more acute because you are sensitive to them. And they are of a very different nature. So what is the basic reason for the problems to come up? As I told you, the masculine growth of our consciousness has taken us to analysis of everything: to the differentiation of different countries and different races and different communities and different castes. But in Read More …

Shri Krishna Puja: Vishuddhi Chakra Vienna (Austria)

AuthorLeave a comment

Talk before puja, “Vishuddhi Chakra”. Vienna (Austria), 4 September 1983. Before going to America I wanted to speak more about the Vishuddhi Chakra and about Shri Krishna’s aspect within us. In the first Puja in Geneva I spoke quite a lot about it. There is no end to it, of course because it is the center of Virat. But one has to realize that the message of Shri Krishna was ‘to surrender’. Now, the surrendering that we think in the gross way is like an enemy surrenders to another enemy. So when the word ‘surrender’ is spoken, we build up our barriers by thinking that now we have to surrender – leave something to the other party. But when Shri Krishna talked about surrender He was saying that, “Surrender your enemies to Me so that I will get rid of them.” Now, the worst enemy that we have is our ego. And with ego starts all kinds of other problems, because it is the biggest barrier for our growth. And the ego starts, as you know, from the Vishuddhi Chakra and can be sucked into Vishuddhi Chakra away. Now let us see how this Vishuddhi Chakra made is. All the vowels that we use come from Vishuddhi Chakra. And like in Devanagari language it is [a aa i ii u uu e ei o au ru ruu lu luu om aha ?] – sixteen. So as you know that you cannot compile a word without a vowel, is so important. Read More …

Development of consciousness within us Urania, Vienna (Austria)

Public Program Day 1. Urania, Vienna (Austria), 4 September 1983. I bow to all the seekers of truth. One has to know that truth can be only known through your consciousness. We can feel this thing as cold and hot through our central nervous system. We see the colour of this wall also through our nervous system. Whatever we have achieved in our consciousness is in our central nervous system. So factually we must understand, or rationally, that we cannot know the truth through our mental projections. Like if you sit down here and start imagining that Vienna will be like this and like that, it may not be, it maybe. That means, when there are two possibilities, it is not the truth. Truth is when there are no other possibilities, but one that is what you feel it on your central nervous system. Every honest person must know that if he is trying to evade the truth, he is evading himself, because truth is reality. It is not imagination or just a mental projection. Now, let us see how we have our consciousness as a human being. Our consciousness as a human being has reached us to a point where we can see many things that are gross. But whatever are said in the metaphysics or in the scriptures, that there is an all-pervading Power, we cannot feel it. Even as you know, Jung has very clearly described the universal unconscious within us. That one is unconscious, because it Read More …

Beginnings by Gregoire Gregoire's Flat, Vienna (Austria)

AuthorLeave a comment

Beginnings Vienna 5-6-83 / Gregoire   I got my realization around the 15th August 1975, in Hurst Green, Sussex, in the very house of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. The period following this turning point in my life can be said to have been most intense, no doubts, but pretty precarious also. I had to leave the shores of fair Albion to go back into boring daily life where, somehow, negativity was waiting for me… and I did not know then, how to deal with the multiplicity of its subtle and less subtle form. If I managed to swim through these troubled waters and survived as a yogi, it is of course, thanks to the ever watchful Grace of the one who had given me my realization. But, more precisely, I can hint here at two devices which proved to be useful in enabling me to stick to Reality. One could be called: ”charting back one’s path towards Self-realization”. The second: ”fixing the pole of the tent”. Charting the path towards Self-realization We are all seekers. As such we are looked after. The Divine – or, in more secular terms, the Unconscious – has been working on us as a magnet mass does on iron dust; our movement towards Self-realization expresses the impact of its gravitational pull. The Unconscious wants us to reach Self-realization (Nirvichara Samadhi). It paves our way towards it. Thus, it carefully engineers moments and circumstances, it calls, it stages happenings and sends signals to the Atma, often Read More …

Fourth Public Programme. Vienna (Austria), 30 September 1982. I bow to all the seekers of truth. In my last lectures I’ve been telling you about these centers which are placed in the lower part of the body. Today I would like to cover the rest of the three centers which lie here, here and here. These are very important centers for human beings. When man as a human being raised his head up, this center established a new dimension. This center is called as Vishuddhi chakra. And this has got sixteen petals which manifests in the sympathetic or the para-sympathetic nervous system sixteen plexuses, which looks after our eyes, nose, throat, and our tongue, our eyes, part of the eyes, and the whole expression of the face. When man is ego-oriented, he puts back his head like that. And when he’s super-ego-oriented, he puts down his head like that. This center is extremely important for human beings and for Sahaja Yoga, because the hands play a big part in Sahaja Yoga. To get a universal language we have to use our hands – that is the best, for say, for people who are blind, who are deaf and dumb, best thing for them is to use the hands. So these hands, though we express ourselves by moving fingers and gestures, are still not enlightened. When this center gets enlightened then these hands become enlightened, too. This center has two sides, one on the right and one on the left. The Read More …

3rd Public Program. Urania, Vienna (Austria), 28 September 1982. I bow to the seekers of truth. I do not know what he told you in German language. Yesterday as we were discussing about the centers that are within us. We will continue to do that today again. Within us is placed this residual energy in the triangular bone – called as Kundalini. This is the energy of desire which is not yet manifested. It is pure desire and it is the ultimate desire. It is the desire to be one with the Divine. We can say the Union with the Divine. That is the yoga. This is placed in the triangular bone which is called as Sacrum, means sacred. The Spirit, the reflection of God Almighty, is placed in your heart. But the seat of your Spirit is on top of your head here. Like as you may have the king moving all over the places, but the seat is a fixed place. Unless and until this union takes place, the manifestation of this residual power does not take place. This manifestation has to take place. This is the last breakthrough of our evolution. This is what has been described as the second birth – as the baptism. It is also in Sanskrit language is called as the second birth, like an egg becoming the bird. So bird also in Sanskrit language is called as Dvijaha – means twice born. This happening has to take place – has been described Read More …
