Knowledge of the Roots, Talk to Students University of Sussex, Falmer (England)

Public Program, University of Sussex, Falmer near Brighton, United Kingdom, 1983-0525 Public Program, University of Sussex, Falmer near Brighton, United Kingdom, 1983-0525 I was really very happy to learn that Sussex University Sahaja Yoga centre has been very kind to invite me to speak to them. It’s such a pleasure to talk to the students because they are the ones who have always been, in any country, been responsible for any new step, whether it was political, economic or social, which was to be taken boldly. Students are the people who have their idealism intact still and when they are studying, they don’t get biased easily. They keep their minds open to every knowledge because they are new to it, but those who become experts can become very biased, very conditioned by what they read or they think to be right.

Radio Falmer Interview University of Sussex, Falmer (England)

Radio Falmer Interview. University of Sussex, Falmer, near Brighton (UK), 25 October 1982. Phil Ward: Sahaja Yoga Program for Radio Falmer to be broadcast on the 25th of October 1982.

People have eligibly been cured of various illnesses and addictions and some pretty miraculous seeming transformations have been wrought. The University Sahaja Yoga Society will be holding its inaugural meeting tomorrow, Tuesday, 26th of October, at seven o’clock, in Refactory, level one. And there you can find out for yourself whether its claims are true. Apparently they’ll be giving realization at that meeting and it’s all free. I went to London to interview the leader of Sahaja Yoga, Mataji Nirmala Devi, and we’ll be presenting that interview later in the program. Meanwhile, I talked to the organizer of Sahaja Yoga on campus, Jason Copeland, to find out how Sahaja Yoga had affected him and to get an idea of what it’s all about. Jason, you are a mature student, studying international relations in [?] in, during your…? Jason Copeland: …first year… Phil Ward: …your first year.
