Shri Krishna Puja: Awakening of Shri Krishna Within Hallowtree Scout Campsite, Ipswich (England)

Author1 Comment

Shri Krishna Puja. (UK), 19 August 1990. We have arranged this Puja specially in England so that many more can come and work out the awakening of Shri Krishna. Gita was written long time back, and it has been translated into so many languages, and lots of commentaries and criticism has been there. So this bookish knowledge of Gita has ruined many people, and even today you find there are many people who are selling the books of Gita all over and making it into a bookish knowledge. I don’t think Krishna ever thought that His knowledge will be sold out like this to every Tom, Dick and Harry. As now, as you know, the Jehovah’s Witness, they also selling Bible. So it has become a marketing company for Shri Krishna’s Gita. There have been lots of horrible things against the real religion of ascent, and Krishna has said, “Whenever there is the decline of religion,” which is true today very much, “and whenever there is the saints being tortured, I come on this earth to save the saints, and to destroy all the negative forces and the devils,” as you call them, rakshasas. Pushtas they are called as, cruel people. So awakening of Krishna is very important, that within us He should arise and He should manifest His qualities within us. Then only the forces will work out. Krishna, as a child, killed so many rakshasas. Then He played with gopis just to open their Kundalini; He had the Read More …

Sir CP Presentation and Shri Mataji short talk Hallowtree Scout Campsite, Ipswich,England,1990 [Starts at 12:12] Shri Mataji: I must say mister Srivastava’s speech was so embarrassing that I got frozen into the chair. [Big laughter] I don’t know what is the program now is, but I would like to know how many are going back this evening to the airport? Hardly very few. Of course, you see, what I was thinking that you all could have your lunch and then we could come for the puja. The puja is going to last for about three hours, at least two and a half hours, so you’ll be free at about five o’clock if you don’t mind. [Laughter. Applause] So I have not consulted doctor Spiro but I’d better ask him. [Laughter] It’s one thirty already, you see, thanks to the sahaj method of the nature, the rain starts a long time. Alright, doesn’t matter, now it has stopped and everything is fine but still, I would say, let them have their lunch and then we can have the puja later on. There are hardly three, four people who are going this evening. So, it’s nice we can spend more time together. [Laughter. Applause] There’s a – one thing is that we are beyond time, “kalatit”: we are beyond time and we adjust everything according to our own rhythm, we are not bothered about this Swiss watch. I hope it’s Swiss. [Laughter] Mine always is out of order, so it’s alright. [Laughter] Read More …

Shri Krishna Havan Hallowtree Scout Campsite, Ipswich (England)

Shri Krishna Havan, 1990-08-18 So we have today a special day for America and Canada this Havan I was thinking we should specially dedicate to the awakening of American and Canadian people. On one side all modernism has given us so many things for Sahaja yoga for example, this loudspeaker, this one, then we have little planes that I can travel, at the time of Christ nobody could think of that. Then we have television and one can give Realization on television. So many things there are. So, the quality of communication which is the quality of Virata of the Vishuddhi Chakra is being manifested and we are using it and is of a great help to Sahaja yoga. This is on one side.               On the other side I find there are certain recognitions which we have got from America which we could not get anywhere. For example, we have got these procession of a church, which is the highest as a religion in America. That we could not have got anywhere else. I mean, in England you cannot even think of it. In England only there is only one religion and that is [unclear text] and the situation is on the other side now. So, the freedom which we have used has given us lots of benefits and also whatever things we have used which have come out of their communication advancement has helped us a lot. But these things are also used by other people so there is Read More …

1990-08-18 Speeches in Honor of Sir C.P. Transcript of Speeches in Honor of Sir C.P. 1990-08-18Hallowtree Scout Campsite, Ipswich (England) Shri Mataji: I said, “How?” They said, “See now, it’s a natural thing. Handmade”.  [Sahaja Yogis laughing]. “And the grass? Is God made or man-made?”  He said, “See we put the grass and do some [UNCLEAR]”.  [Laughter] I mean, I thought some birds would come and pick it up and make it into a nest for themselves. Or you might find in the night, if you put the hat to one side, there is a little bird right there – little, little birdies saying something. [Laughter]. See, this is – I mean, it sounds so idiotic to you but is done as a craze you see. And a craze is a good word to suggest. “This is a craze, you see”. It is madness. But they do it. And so our attention is ruined all the time, all the time. So we go to a higher level you see. We start an anti-culture business. “No, this is not good. This is not good”.  So, the other day, walking in America I was surprised. Most of them had their pants all torn, especially in this part. [UNCLEAR]. They were all torn. Such big, big openings. I was wondering what was the matter. And they were made, specially made – it’s called stonewash – and cut, cut like that. Imagine. Worse than beggars. I mean people do not have respect for themselves. Do Read More …

Pre-Shri Krishna Puja Talk and 2nd Evening Talk Hallowtree Scout Campsite, Ipswich (England)

Evening before Shri Krishna Puja. Ipswich (UK), 17 August 1990. On the day of Sri Krishna Puja, I’m going to tell you about Sri Krishna. But before that, we should know how the whole thing evolved from Sri Vishnu’s evolutionary process. So, as you know there were ten Avataras, ten incarnations of Sri Vishnu. Now Vishnu is the one which grows to be the Virat, to be the macrocosm as they call it, and this Vishnu principle is very well established within us. As a result of that only, we also seek and we seek money, power, love, families, children, all kinds of things we seek. That is only through- because of the Vishnu principle within us. But the biggest thing about the Vishnu principle is that it gave us evolution by which we evolve. Also, we evolved in the social structure, the political structure, the economic structure. We also evolved. India, I mean, I would say, India was once upon a time, you see, a slave country. Then democracy came in, and the English had to give up India, because they learned that if they have to make a majority rule in India, then there are more Indians than English. So they had to give up in any case. So, wisdom came over and they gave up, you see. So, what happens, that we learned gradually when we start facing the problems that we ourselves have created. When we start seeing what are the problems are, then we get Read More …
