Devi Puja, Ealing Ashram, London (UK), 30 August 2002 Please be seated.[Individual conversation with sahaja yogis:Yogini: This little one is very much like Ananya. The little one I saw.Yogi: Sakshi.Derek Lee: Alan’s little girl. She is gone upstairs, she will come down here. (Aside to a yogi) You should say, they should come.Shri Mataji: (Hindi) How are you, Richard? Good. From tomorrow we will start it regularly, all right? Massage now. I’m sorry…] I don’t know what to say! (Laughter)I’m living in this house now, and it was very nice because Sahaja Yogis were living here and they enjoyed my stay here, I think.But we have to change and progress – that’s the point is. With every change you must progress, otherwise it has no meaning, the change has no meaning. So now they are thinking that I should now be in the house here. I think it’s a good idea. Derek Lee: Marvellous news for us, Mother.(Applause) Shri Mataji, we’d like to thank you for coming to live here, Shri Mataji, in Ealing and in London for so long. And we know that, from this house, all kinds of blessings have come out for us. And I wanted to say it was a little bit symbolic, Shri Mataji. When you came here this house was in complete degradation and ruin and now you have built it up and reconstructed it, renovated it, into the palace that it is.And we hope, Shri Mataji, you can achieve the same marvellous transformation Read More …
Follow-up Program (to the Albert Hall Public Programme), Holland Park School, Airlie Gardens, Campden Hill Rd, London W8 7AF, London, England, 16 July 2001. Very happy to see all of you here. Now I can’t say that you are the seekers but you are the ones who have found it. It’s something so fulfilling. Imagine in the olden days the custom was, I mean, it was so, that one guru could give realisation to one person, with very great reluctance! First they had to go through all kinds of tests, all kinds of tapasya as they call it, very, very strict penance. And out of that they would select one person to get Self-realisation. Imagine what you have got in such a short time! But, with that long period of ordeal, they developed a great sense of respecting their Self-realisation, of understanding what is this. Understanding their own powers, understanding their own duties. And they were not so many. One single person fighting the whole society with his lofty ideas. While today you are so many, all of you are in fraternity, in love with each other. Nobody is going to torture you, nobody is going to take you to task, but you yourself will feel like spreading Sahaja Yoga, giving love and life to people. It will come spontaneously within you. Like a flower which has fragrance, like that you’ll have the fragrance of spirituality and people will suddenly recognise you because you are so different from others. Your temperament Read More …
‘VIP’ and Journalists Invitational Program in Russell Hotel, 1-8 Russell Square, London WC1B 5BE (UK), 15 July 2001. I thank you very much, all of you, for coming over for a small meeting that we are going to have and, it’s very important for you people who are responsible in life to understand what is the work of Sahaja Yoga and how important it is. I mean, now we have people all over the world, it’s working in 85 countries. In a country like Benin we have twenty thousand sahaja yogis. All this is…why? Because people are trying to find the truth, they are not satisfied with whatever they know. They want to know what is beyond and I started this work long time back. I think I have worked in England for at least 25 years. But, unfortunately, England is nowhere compared to other countries. Even Austria has ten times more people, Austria and Germany. What’s the reason? I think the newspapers. Your newspapers are not responsible, they are not at all responsible. Some may be, I am not saying all of them. But the newspapers that I have seen here, they never come and ask me anything, they never try to find out if there’s anything I’m doing that is good for people, which is essential, which has to be worked out. But somehow they take the very negative side. This is the main reason why people are lagging behind in knowing the truth. I’m sorry to say that. I have written in Read More …
Public Program in Royal Albert Hall. London (UK), 14 July 2001. I bow to all the seekers of truth. Some of you have found the truth, some of you have not found it fully, and some of you have not found it at all. But if you look around in today’s situation, you’ll have to agree there’s a big turmoil going on. Countries after countries are taking to all kinds of wrong things. Lot of cold war is on, people are killing each other, destroying beautiful places, cutting each other’s throat for nothing at all. They are all human beings created by God. God Almighty has created them and has brought them to this level of human awareness. At this juncture one can’t see where are we going in a collective way. This is, where have we to reach – or is it our destiny? Is this the destiny of human beings, to be destroyed by each other for land or for anything else? Think of the whole world as one, and think what’s happening all over: every day we read newspaper, every day there is some sort of a horrible news about horrible things people are doing to each other, for no rhyme and reason. We have to think, what is the destiny? Where are we going? Are we going to hell or to Heaven? What is our situation around? Can we help it? What’s wrong with human beings is they are still in the complete control of ignorance. Read More …
Public Program. Errol Douglas Gallery, London (UK) – 28 September 2000. I thank Mr. Emro for inviting Me to such a unique type of gathering. The subject is very interesting that how Sahaja Yoga can help beauty. Now Sahaja Yoga, as you know, here it is shown that there is a power in your triangular bone, here, as you see. And this is in every human being – every. And this power, has to be awakened. Then it passes through these six centers. The seventh one low below there, the number one, and pierces through your fontanel bone area and connects you to the Divine. As a result of that, all these centers who are responsible, they are responsible for our physical, mental, emotional and also spiritual being, all of them are enlightened and integrated. It, this power is in everyone but to talk about it, people don’t believe in it. You must have the experience of it. And once you have the experience, you’ll be amazed, how many things happen to you which you cannot even imagine. It’s very kind of him to have called me here, that way I’ve met many people of that kind but nobody has tried to invite others who could share this experience. Now coming to the point of beauty, I must tell you the Divine is the most beautiful thing, because it creates all beautiful things. You see in the nature, every leaf is different from another. Such a variety. Also, if you Read More …
Public Program in Holland Park School. London (UK), 27 September 2000. I am very happy to see so many people here to know about Sahaja Yoga in all its details, but in this short time what can you be told? That firstly you got your realization, you felt the cool breeze all right and that it was an experience, but beyond this experience we have to settle down. It is very, very important that you must have desire to settle down. You don’t know the importance of your personality. You are the one who’ll save this world. Because the salvation of the whole world is not possible with Myself and you people, who will be really developed, it will be such a force.I told about England yesterday, another thing is that England is the heart of the universe I think. Everything circulates from here, whatever happens small or big it circulates. It is not that only England has many newspapers or television centers but somehow it circulates everywhere. I used to think only in India, it’s not so. I’ve seen everywhere, every country, there’s news about England. Even in America, even in South America, I was surprised how people are worried about England so much that they want to know what’s happening in England. My own experience is this, that they get so upset with the things that upsets your country, not only that but anything that happens of a very small importance is noted down and they always tell Read More …
Today TV Interview. London (UK). TV host: Here is something a little more relaxing for you. Her name means mother [earth] and she claims to have the ability to produce a feelings of a blissful harmony. Great grandmother, Shri Mataji has followed us around the world and this week she brought her particular strand of yoga to the capital. Glenn Campbell abandoned the lotus position to bring you this report. Correspondent in background: Royal Albert hall is usually reserved for pop stars and international performers but last night 5000 people filled the hall to watch the great grandmother perform her own unique style of yoga. Shri Mataji is an Indian spiritualist who practices Sahaja Yoga, a revolutionary technique that gets individuals to tap into their own energy transforming it into a healing power. Her methods were developed in the late 1970’s and have now attracted a mass following. Shri Mataji: People want to know the truth and they will know the truth also was written. Also you have to know the truth about yourself. Correspondent in background: The great grandmother began teaching in London 30 years ago and has twice been nominated for the Nobel peace prize. Her secret, she claims is tapping into a unique store of energy we all posses based at the bottom of our spines called the divine breeze. Once you tap into that your life will be transformed. It may sound a little outlandish but with devotes in 80 countries across the globe, there must Read More …
Royal Albert Hall Public Program 2000 I bow to all the seekers of truth. In these modern times it was prophesized that many, many people will be seeking the truth and you can see the proof of that. Many people will be seeking the truth because they will be fed up with the untruth, also they may find out that lot of superficial stuff is there, which is not satisfying at all. Is the blessing of these modern times, though we say modern times are the worst. Because of its oppression, because of its problem, people want to know the truth and they will know the truth also already. Also you have to know the truth about yourself. I have told you many times that the truth is that you are not this body, you are not this mind, you are not these emotions, but you are the pure spirit. That you are, all of you are, it’s not just a story I am telling you, it’s a fact. But when they say you should know yourself. In all the scriptures they have said one thing common, you should know yourself. Because if you do not know yourself how will you know the Divine? So first you must know yourself and the Self is within. The problem was how to enter inside to know the Self, to feel the Self, to feel the power of Self you had to go inside. And without knowing the Self you cannot get rid Read More …
2000-09-23 VIP Reception, London, UK, DP-RAW I bow to all the seekers of Truth. These are special times that we have so many seekers of Truth. Surprisingly so many people these days want to know what is the truth. And the result some of them are lost also. But what is the truth, the truth is that you are not this body, this mind, this emotions this intelligence so called but you are the true spirit. All the scriptures have said that unless and until you know yourselves how you will know the divine. Because if we don’t know ourselves really we are not equipped to know the divine and so to know yourself is so important. This one is a thing people don’t understand because mostly they are written in poetry. And all of them has said that you should know yourself but how would you know yourself your self is within and not without. So how to enter inside to know yourself is the problem. This problem is really so great that keeps out many people from the knowledge of knowing. Now I must tell you about myself that I myself has felt that people have a big big problem of knowing themselves though I knew myself very well. How to make others knowledgeable about themselves so I tried first to see problems of the people . Many people that my own I should say my subtler intelligence what’s the matter why can’t they feel themselves why Read More …
Questions by doctors to Shri Mataji. Ealing, London (UK), 2000 (Regarding sinusitis) Shri Mataji: So the venue (mucus) which is very tough becomes loose, and the heat is absorbed. Dr. Rashid: Shri Mataji, would the onions need to be hot? Shri Mataji: [Yes, very hot.]As far as you can bear it. As far as you can bear it. It’s a very simple thing. Especially if you have sinus, don’t travel. Dr. Rashid: (Hindi: Shri Mataji, we made a list of questions to ask You, because sometimes some yogis ask us questions and we’re not absolutely sure about them.) Shri Mataji: About diseases? Dr. Rashid: (Hindi: Yes, Shri Mataji, about them.) Shri Mataji: Chemotherapy I’m against. There’s no need. It’s a wrong thing, chemotherapy. You see, they produce heat. You lose your hair. Such a lot of heat. And other complications will come with heat, that is. But Sahaja Yoga is a very simple method. You do use heat, in the sense [that] you use camphor and also these candles. But candles should be big, thick and should give light. But you don’t put it inside the body. Dr. Spiro: So in general, for cancer, say, surgery or radiotherapy would be better than chemotherapy? Shri Mataji: Chemotherapy is absolutely dangerous. It goes from one to another. See – it is a left-sided problem, so chemotherapy gives you heat. With the heat, for the time being, the Left Side improves. That’s all. (But in reality it’s something else.) But you can give Read More …
Liberty Radio Interview. London (UK), 12 July 1999. MODERATOR: (speaking clearly and enthusiastically) Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, recognized world-wide for her pioneering work in awakening the natural healing energy that lies within every human being. Apparantly it’s called the Kundalini and we’ll be awakening yours hopefully this hour. Shri Mataji, that actually means Mother, was on GM TV [for a popular morning TV show] only last week and the switchboards were actually bombarded with calls. We wonder if Shri Mataji or Mother will have the same effect here today. Keep it on Liberty for a spiritual awakening in a few moments time. (WEATHER REPORT AND SONG.) MOD: Now my next guest, we’re very honoured to welcome to the studio today. Her name is Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. Shri Mataji actually means Mother and She is recognized worldwide for Her pioneering work in awakening the natural healing energy that lies within every human being. She travels throughout the world at Her own expense, teaching this life-changing technique to millions of people and apparantly we don’t have to part with a penny. On GM TV, only last week, the switchboard was flooded by viewers who’d all experienced strange phenomena whilst listening to Her. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi joins me now. Welcome to the show. Shri Mataji: Thank you. MOD: It’s a pleasure to have you here. Now, you studied medicine and psychology in your home country of India. Is that right? Shri Mataji: I did. MOD: And now, you travel the world Read More …
Public Program. Royal Albert Hall, London (UK), 10 July 1999. At the very outset one has to know what is the Truth, what are we seeking. It’s quite clear that we do not know that. That’s why we run after things which are false, which are more attractive, but basically they are very dangerous, very dangerous. And that has been happening – I’m sorry to say – in every country that people are just trying to mislead all the seekers who are truthful, who are honest, who are innocent.So what is the Truth that you have to find? Is said in all the books in all the scriptures that you have to know yourself. We always talk like this: I like this, I like that, I want this, I… But, we don’t know who are we. Who am I? Ask that question to yourself: who am I? Am I this body? Am I this mind? What am I?And then you reach really honestly a point where you realise that you don’t know yourself. You even don’t know your body, you even don’t know your mind. With this kind of a confusion we are living and that’s why all kinds of problems come up.First thing is that you have to know yourself. It’s possible, now the time has come for you to know yourself. It’s been promised that these are the times when you will know yourself. For that I have to say that already our creator has done a good Read More …
Press Conference. London (UK), 8 July 1999. I bow to all the seekers of truth. First of all, it’s important to know what the truth is. You find so many people are seeking the truth, but they don’t know what to find and that’s how they are twisted around, taken to some sort of a false rites. It’s important first of all to know what is the truth that we are seeking. The truth is, if I tell you, it’s very simple: that you are not this body, you are not this mind, you are not this intellect, you are not these emotions, but you are the pure Spirit. That’s what you have to become – the pure Spirit. And another truth is that the power that leads you to the state were you know the truth about yourself, about everything is within you, this power is within you, is your own. Born with you, with every human being. That’s surprising: if all the human beings in the whole world have this power within their triangular bone – how can we differentiate them? They are all just the same, everybody has a power based in their triangular bone known as sacrum, that means the Greeks knew it was a sacred bone. This fact that there is a power in the triangular bone was known thousands of years back, I should say, in India and in various countries. I was surprised – even in Sweden I found, Norway I found, people Read More …
GMTV Interview. London (UK). [..] strange society that we live in today, it really, really is [..] and sometimes you just want to take a break and take five minutes to yourself. The one woman who has found the secrets I think of inner calm is Shri Mataji. She joins me now. It’s great to see You. It really is. Tell me about this technique, what’s it called and how does it work. Shri Mataji: Sahaja Yoga. Right. Journalist: How does that work? Shri Mataji: Sahaja, Saha means with, Ja means born. Born with you is this opportunity, or eh, a kind of a blessing that you can become one with the Divine. Journalist: Right. Shri Mataji: You are born with it. Journalist: We’re seeing examples here, and it’s all ages – anybody can do this? Shri Mataji: Of course. Journalist: Yeah, Anyone at all. Of course. Shri Mataji: Everybody has it, all over the world. Everyone has that. Journalist: Little tiny ones, (3 of them –unclear) and she’s doing it (unclear). Shri Mataji: They are raising the power within you which is dormant in the triangular bone and by raising it they passing through six centres and when they pass through six centres, you see, the connection is established then with the All–Pervading Power of Love. So that’s what it’s about, that’s what it’s about. And do you think people, I mean people don’t just take the time out do they, just to sit down for 5 minutes and Read More …
Public Program Day 2 at Holland Park School. London (England), 6 July 1998. I bow to all the seekers of truth. So many of you have already found out what is the truth, truth about yourself, that you are not this body, this mind, these emotions, this ego, conditionings, but you are the pure Spirit. After realizing that, not knowing but realizing that, when you become the Spirit your attention gets enlightened by the Spirit. And this enlightened attention is so intelligent. And as it is connected with this all-pervading Power, you’ll be amazed that whatever you try to look at, to put your attention to, it just works. It is such a proof that you are one with this All-pervading divine Power. To prove that there is divine Power which is All-pervading, first you have to become the Realized soul, you have to become a person who is enlightened, as they call it Buddha. The word is Bodha; comes from enlightenment. And the one who is enlightened is a very different personality from what that person has been. You become a very powerful, no doubt very powerful; powerful in the sense is the power of love. Is not the power we know of, but is the power of love that acts, that works. And then you are amazed at yourself how you have been able to do so many things which you would never do. And how your personality becomes a very sensible, wise, and also absolutely in balance. Read More …
Public Program Day 1 at Royal Albert Hall. London (UK), 7 July 1998. I bow to all the seekers of Truth. These days there are people who are going all over the places to find out the Truth, the enlightenment. And there are so many books available, so many people who talk about enlightenment. And this is only in this special age, which I call as ” the blossom time “, is happening. If they are not seeking the Truth, that means they are not yet evolved as this should have been. But this is a special time that we call as the “Last Judgement” and that time has come. In the Koran it’s called as Kiyama and described very clearly what will happen at this time. All these have been indicated in all the books which are, I would say, mystical or we can call as religious – whatever you may call it – the mystic part of it. They’ve all indicated this time, this time by the end of this century, this should happen. And this has bewildered many people, they are going hither and thither, getting into problems. As it’s very embarrassing what Dr. Derek Lee has told Me. Is a fact that I went to Russia and a scientist came forward and he said that: ” Mother, I have seen your photographs and it says so much because I haven’t seen more than one line showing. ” It is very embarassing, the whole thing was very Read More …
Talk by Claus Nobel at the Royal Albert Hall -3rd July 1997 Well, indeed, life is full of surprises, after all we are meeting here, inspired by the message and work of holy Mother Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi and she is not here in body but she’s here in spirit. Also the wonderful letter that we recently heard from Ayatollah Rohani, which speaks very highly of the work and the mission of the holy Mother, where he indicates the importance of women in the world, is neither here. And frankly speaking only 36 hours ago I did not know that I would be here at the Royal Albert Hall, addressing this audience. Still I say, dear Holy Mother, and I also recognise her husband, Sir C P Srivastava, in the audience and I say most importantly, dear friends, fellow seekers of truth, are you out there? Because with all this light I can only see about twenty people in front of me. So, say yes if your here then I know, (lots of clapping). Now I can see you and I can hear you as well as you can see and hear me. With that said I want to say, that I have a vision, I have a vision of the world that is better, saver and saner than the one we are presently are experiencing. It is a world where people live in harmony and peace with themselves and in harmony and peace with nature. Now those words are Read More …
Public Program. Royal Albert Hall, London (UK), 28 June 1996. I bow to all the seekers of truth. It has to be understood that truth what we know through our mental capacity is not the truth, because mind itself is a myth. We have created it. As we have created computers. we have created our myth also through our conditioning and through our ego. Beyond it is the reality. So if you have to know the absolute truth something has to happen. We have to evolve into a higher realm of existence of consciousness. You have been already told about the subtle system that you have. You all have it. You are the owner of it and you have every right to achieve that state of consciousness which in the Zen system call it “Satori”.In every system they have something they call it some name, like the Islam calls it “Wali”, some called it “Sufi”. In the realm of reality, when we are not, we have problems, because we fight for unreal things, you think of unreal thing as real and accept. For example, when they English lost the match. I mean one party has to win, either this or that. But they were so much identified with it, which was falsehood. They were not playing, there were not players that they were English, alright. But there was no war going on. See the myth about it is this, that we get identified with things which are themselves not real. Read More …
Public Program. Royal Albert Hall, London (UK). 24 June 1995. I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset, we have to know that truth is what it is. It cannot be changed. It cannot be challenged and it cannot be described. Truth is beyond your mind. You have already heard that the Divine has created a beautiful instrument within you, which exists in all human beings. Maybe because of different times, maybe some of the incarnations didn’t talk about it, but most of them have talked about it. For example, Christ has said that you have to be born again. Also in the Bible, it is said, “I’ll appear before you like tongues of flames”. These are the centres about which you have heard. For the last 25 years, I have been working on people with Sahaja Yoga. I found it such a tremendous thing that it is not easily believed into. Especially for people who are superficial, who just read books and now feel satisfied. All those people who are critical of everything. Those who do not have an open mind like a scientist, or some of them, who are I must say, are idiots, or maybe mad, or maybe mesmerized. But for a person who is ardently seeking, honestly seeking the absolute truth, Kundalini, about which we have heard, has to be awakened. No doubt about it. There’s no compromise on that. Today we see these flowers here. You know that they had to Read More …
1994-0605 Public Program Royal Albert Hall, London UK – H.H Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Hello! [Taps mic] Alright? “I bow to all the seekers of truth” At the very outset we have to know that truth is what it is. You cannot change it, you cannot describe it and you cannot say you know the truth. Unless and until you now it, it is not truth. It is a very big problem that people believe they know the truth, they know the truth which they have understood through their mental capacity, but if [Shri Mataji clears throat] the truth was known to everyone there would be no problems, no quarrels, no discussions no arguments and no wars! We have to know the absolute truth, when we know the absolute truth there is no question of getting into discussion or taking another point of view. I am sitting her before you, you all know I am sitting before you, nobody can say I am not sitting before you because you can see it, but the absolute truth is to be felt on your central nervous system. [Shri Mataji clears throat] This knowledge has been known in our country, in your country and every country – but by very few people. The knowledge, which is earned through your evolutionary process, is the knowledge. When you evolve to a human state you have not yet completed your evolution is visible the way you are fighting, quarreling and behaving in the worst manner that Read More …
Public Program. Royal Albert Hall, London (UK), 24 June 1993. Shri Mataji: It’s all right. 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 conceptualize it, with this human awareness. We have to be in another state where we can understand it, know it, on our central nervous system. Whatever we have achieved in our evolutionary process we can feel it on our central nervous system. In the same way we have to feel the truth, the absolute, on our finger tips. It has to be tangible. It’s not a make belief, it’s not a blind faith, but one has to experience it, on the central nervous system. But the problem is that so far, those who achieved something also of this nature, were singled out and they were never respected. A great poet, Kabir, says that, “How am I to explain anything? The people are so blind.” Even William Blake* was treated as a lunatic in this country. It was impossible for these seers, these prophets, to explain, to talk about the Divine. But, till they lived, nobody understood them and followed them. And then when they were no more, people built mosques, temples, churches. And when we see the mess of these religions we are surprised, how can it be. How can people kill each other in the name of God? How can they make money, the way they Read More …
Public Program Day 2, Royal Albert Hall, London (UK) June 12th 1992 I bow to all the seekers of truth.I’ve already told you that truth is what it is, we cannot change it, we cannot conceptualise it. With this human perspective, we cannot know it. If this is the case, then we have to understand that in our evolutionary process that something more has to happen. Because as we see, take case of religions. You may be Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Sikh anyone, you can be branded as anything when you are born into any family, but you are capable of doing any sin. Any sin can be committed. There is nothing to debar you. So as if this religion that we are proclaiming is outside, it’s not within us, it’s not innate.Yesterday I told you about science (unclear). That it is (unclear), it does not relate to your spirit, to your soul, it does not give you any human dimension. For science, you are not a human being, you are a robot. Same with modern psychology, you are not a human being but you are a sex point. With medical science, as I told you yesterday, the advent of this theory of DNA, they will just tell you what is your origin but they cannot tell you what is your future, and the future is so great, which we have to know. We don’t have to go to our past. There’s a gentleman, a muslim gentleman, I’m happy he asked Read More …
Public Program Day 1. Royal Albert Hall, London (UK), 11 June 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 change it. We cannot conceptualize it. We have to know it. For example, today science has become our God. But you can’t know truth through science. It may solve some problems, one by one, but it is not conclusive. It doesn’t reach you anywhere. It has created this problem, as you know, the conference in New York from where the Goddess [sounds like a person’s name] has come just now. [?] was telling Me the story that they don’t know what to do, how to solve the problem. Then the violence. It cannot stop violence because it is amoral. It has no morality in it. It doesn’t tell you how to transcend. It doesn’t tell you that you are a spirit. He doesn’t know we can say it does not know what the soul is. It does work out in a way, but I must say Sahaja Yoga works out much faster, in a much simpler way. And if you take to Sahaja Yoga you’ll be convinced, despite all your conditionings and cynicism, that Sahaja Yoga is the Meta Science, is above science, above.

Public Program. Hammersmith Town Hall, London (UK), 14 September 1990. I bow to all the seekers of truth.At the very outset we have to know that truth is what it is. We cannot organize it, we cannot mold it. Also we cannot know it at the stage when we are human beings, with human awareness we cannot know it. So we have to become a super human being, a higher personality. What is said that you have to be the Spirit, you have to be the Self. In all the scriptures, in all the religions it has been said that you have to be the Spirit. I mean we see the turmoil and the problems of the world that are completely show us clearly that there is so much of a mess and most of them are the problems created by human beings. We have to do some introspection and some soul searching and we have to find out, after all, why we human beings have created all these problems for ourselves. We have had philosophies, we have ideologies, we have so many kinds of enterprises but despite that there are so many differences and the differences are having larger and larger gaps. If it is the truth, it has to be the truth for everyone. Everyone has to say: “This is The Truth”. But it has to be the Absolute Truth. If it is not the Absolute Truth then what we believe into is not the reality. And this Read More …
Interview, London, UK, 1989-12-06 Interviewer: So are you ready, just to… Shri Mataji you started Sahaja Yoga in India in 1970. Could you please tell us about those days? Shri Mataji: First I thought that better start from one person. And I tried to give realisation to one lady. Cameraman: I’m sorry. Shri Mataji: At that time – Interviewer: Okay, thank you. This is just a test. Cameraman: I’m sorry Shri Mataji we just have to test the noise. So now we can go. Shri Mataji: It’s all right, no no, then again I said… Cameraman: Now we can go so. Shri Mataji: All right. Interviewer: Oh no, it’s come undone (background decoration). Is there more tape there? Where’s that tape? Shri Mataji: Is Paul having some tape? Interviewer: Where’s it gone? Technician: Pause it, Nick. That paused. Cameraman: Okay, time Her in. Ten seconds, Nick. Interviewer: Ten seconds, okay. Cameraman: Okay, go. Interviewer: Shri Mataji you started Sahaja Yoga in India in 1970. Could you please tell us about those days? Shri Mataji: First I had to discover it Myself, how I will be able to give amass realisation, that was one problem.

Then I said it has clicked. Then I taught people who were coming… Cameraman: I am sorry, Read More …
Public Program Day 2, Porchester Hall, London (UK), 1 August 1989. I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset we have to understand that truth is what it is. We cannot conceptualize it. We cannot organize it. And we cannot use it for our own purposes. Moreover, with the blinkers on both the sides like a horse, with all our conditionings, we cannot find the truth. We have to be free people. We have to be open minded people, like scientists, to see for ourselves what is the truth. If somebody preaches something, professes something, says something, is not to be accepted blindfolded. As I told you yesterday, that the essence of all the religions is to find the eternal and to treat the transitory in its own understanding and in its own limitations. That’s why we have lost our balance. If we are really the people who want to know the truth, we have to know that at human awareness we cannot know it. It becomes a concept. You have to have the spiritual awareness, but spiritual awareness is a state of your being, where you become the spirit. Again the word I’ll say – “become.” It’s not artificially certifying somebody that now you have become a Hindu or a Christian or a Muslim, you become anything. Because you may be a Muslim, Christian, Hindu, anything, you can commit any sin. You can do anything that is wrong. Nothing from inside is going to stop Read More …
Public program, Porchester hall, England, 1989-31-07 [Talk starts at 10:52] I bow to all the seekers of truth. Just now you were listening to a folk song which was written by a great saint called Nama Deva about 1200 century. This great poet has written in this poem about asking the Mother for the yoga, is the union with the Divine power. In many ways he has promised that he will give up all the bad relationships he has had with greed, lust, with hatred and with all other – these destroying qualities which cling to human beings and make him subservient. It is very beautifully written but the last one is so beautiful that he says that, “I would like to have the complete ‘bodha’”. Now this ‘bodha’ word is coming as you have heard about Buddha. Bodha. ‘Bodh’ means that you have to feel this All-pervading power on your central nervous system. It is not just a mental protection. It is not a certificate. It is not following any cult or sect or religion outwardly. But something happening on your central nervous system is bodha. And from there, there is another word which we call as ‘vidha’ which means- from where Veda has come. Veda means also to know your central nervous system. So, it is not just a mental projection that, “I believe in it, I believe in that; I believe”. But who are you? First of all, find out who you are. What are you believing? Read More …
Radio interview, A question of Belief, L B C, London (England) July 30th, 1989 Interviewer: For many years now there’s been a growing interest in this country what are commonly known as the Eastern Mystical Religions and they aren’t very well understood, today in the studio with me is Her Holiness Shri Mataji: Nirmala Devi, now she is the leader of the Sahaja Yoga movement. Mataji, welcome to the studio, let’s take off by looking at the beliefs of the Sahaja Yoga movement. Shri Mataji: Sahaja Yoga is a system by which you get spontaneously your Self-realisation, your self-knowledge by a happening that is within you. In a triangular bone called as sacrum, meaning “sacred”, lies a power which rises and pierces through your fontanel bone area which was a soft bone in your childhood. And then on your central nervous system, you can feel the Collective Consciousness. A new dimension is manifested. Interviewer: So, this starts by happening at birth, which is when people have the soft head as it were. Shri Mataji: No, it in a dormant state and like a seed as in dormant state, a tree, but when the seed is planted into the Mother Earth, spontaneously it sprouts because a living process and evolution is also a living process, so spontaneously it happens when it gets congenial atmosphere. Interviewer: What then is the congenial atmosphere, when a person actually accepts the teachings? Shri Mataji: They don’t have to accept anything blindfolded, because by blindfold you Read More …
