Letter Brompton Square House, London (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

Smt. Nirmala Devi  48 Bromton Square  London  dt. 5th April 1986  My Dear Mr Magdum,  This is in reference of your letter saying that there is more than half an acre land absolutely stony and useless for agriculture. It does not matter as I am in the process of buying 7 acres of adjacent land, so we will have altogether 11 acres of land for farming.  I have confirmed the following points again as given by you;  1. The farm house does not need collector’s permission. (The copy of the  letter written by the colector to Mr Malhotra is with me).  2. The farm house has no specific dimensions. Mr Dhumal sent a registered letter to the collectorate, however no reply has been received for over two months.  3. The permission has been granted by the Gram Panchayat. ( confirmed by Gram Panchayat that only they are authorised to grant the permission).  4. This area is a green belt and has to be used for agriculture only. The farm house can be used by us and also for the agriculture storage etc. We have got permission from the planning Dept.  Now as my husband is going to retire very soon, I wish to plan the house as per requirements for my family and my daughters’ families. Both my daughters are married in the ‘Shetkari’ families. Specially the younger son-in-law who is the grandson of our late President Rajendra Prasad, belongs to a very well known farmer’s family of Bihar and himself is Read More …

Going from Swaha to Swadha Brompton Square House, London (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

“Going from Swaha to Swadha,” Shri Mataji’s residence, 48 Brompton Square, London (England), 3 March 1986. This was the last thing I used in my lectures, in Delhi; that Shri Krishna has said that the human awareness goes downward and the roots of the human awareness are in the brain. And when human beings start going downward they move in the opposite direction of the Divine. That’s all He has said. He’s not said more than that.  Now see, what happens [is] that you are born in the Bhavasagara, at that time. Now, when the human awareness starts growing, what is the essence of Bhavasagara is swaha and the aim is swadha.  Swaha means consumption: consumption of all the poisons, consumption of everything.  And swadha is the one [which] means: the swa is the Spirit and dha means the one that sustains. So the dharma of Spirit when it comes into you, then you become a guru. So in the Bhavasagara it is swaha and swadha. So from swaha you have to move to swadha. If you come to swadha state then the Mahalakshmi is awakened within you and you start rising higher. So it is called as ‘urdhvagati’ ( ऊर्ध्वगति) : going to the ascent side.  The descent side is called as ‘adhogati’ (अधोगति). Now adhogati starts because to go down is very easy, first of all. Secondly when you are on the steps, on top, you see the steps very nice, done with nice platforms to go down, Read More …

Shri Mataji comments on “Jesus, The Son of Man” Brompton Square House, London (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

Shri Mataji reads a part of the chapter 1 of “Jesus, The Son of Man” from Kahlil Gibran, 1985 “And were it not for sorrow in all of you I would not have stayed to weep.”“Who are you and what are you, Judas Iscariot? And why do you tempt me?”“Have you in truth weighed me in the scale and found me one to lead legions of pygmies? And to direct chariots of the shapeless against an enemy that encompass-that encamps only in your hatred and marches nowhere but in your fear?” Shri Mataji: “Marches nowhere but in your fear”, means you have enemies within yourself.“Too many are the worms that crawl about me feet, and I will give them no battle. They are worms! I am weary of the jest, and weary of pitying the creepers who deem me coward because I will not move among their guarded walls and towers. ““Pity it is that I must needs pity to the very end.”“Would that I could turn my steps towards a larger world where larger men dwell. But, how shall I?” Shri Mataji: And now he said about the future, he?“Your priest and your emperor would have my blood. They shall be satisfied ere” means before, “I go hence. I would not change the course of the law. And I would not govern folly”. Shri Mataji: Because, it’s because of the law that he was to be crucified.“Let ignorance reproduce itself until it is weary of its own offspring.”“Let the Read More …

Shri Gruha Lakshmi Puja: In your houses you must do Gruhalakshmis’ puja Brompton Square House, London (England)

Author6 Comments

Shri Gruhalakshmi Puja, Brompton Square, London,  1985-0805 So, this is to thank you all for helping in building this house and making it so beautiful. All the thankfulness is from us, both of us [Shri Mataji and Sir CP].Today is a very interesting day when you are worshipping the Gruhalakshmi here, means the Gruhalakshmi of this house. In the same way in your family also, in your houses you must do Gruhalakshmis’ puja. The woman has to be the Gruhalakshmi herself and then she should be worshipped.“Yatya naria pujyante, tatra bhramante Devata.” Where the women are respected and worshipped there reside all the deities. But they should be respectable also. If they are not respectable then the deities won’t reside there. So, it’s a big responsibility on a Gruhalakshmi to be respectable so that all the deities are happy in the family. And once she is respected, she will try to be respectable also. So, the respect of the Gruhalakshmi is very important. Today we are having this little puja from all the builders who helped us here, with the blessings of Vishwakarma and Brahmadeva; those who have tried to make this house so beautiful. Also, as you know, Blake has described this house. It has a special significance and we have to now hand it over to somebody else, the one who will appreciate and respect this house; who will understand the value and worth of this house. And for that we have to pray that it will be Read More …

The Conception of Love Brompton Square House, London (England)

Author

The Conception of Love, Talk to Yogis, 15 September 1982, London, United Kingdom So once and for all I want everyone to understand the conception of true love in Sahaja Yoga. All right? So it is not that I am trying in any way to persuade you, in no way, but I want to know certain things, what happens, what is the situation, why it happens. Because as I told you, I am no good at human beings, I am really puzzled at them. So whatever questions I ask, you answer them absolutely honestly, all right? Because it’s for My knowledge that I’m asking, all right? But nothing, to, in any way, I don’t want to pressurise you in any way, but just to understand what’s the problem is. And then I’ll give you the answer.  First of all, the question is, ‘Are you a seeker?’  Sahaja Yogini: I think so, yes, Mother. You have been seeking before also? All right. Then the second point is, you have been seeking and you found in Sahaja Yoga that there is some truth, is it? Now you didn’t come to Sahaja Yoga to marry anyone? Sahaja Yogini: Not originally, Mother. Not to find somebody for your marriage?  This was never your idea? Sahaja Yogini: No, Mother. Not at the beginning. Because I was in India, Mother. So you had no idea about this? Now so, when you met Matthias, or whatever it is, and you liked him and you said that you Read More …

Guru Puja: Guru Tattwa Brompton Square House, London (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

Guru Tattwa Puja. Brompton Square, London (UK), 18 August 1982. You see people have very wrong ideas in Sahaja Yoga that, “We are people who are higher, we are higher people and we should try to control the lower people.” And the lower people have even worst ideas because they think that, “These people are trying to boss us, are trying to control us and trying to tell us, and they are sort of taking away our freedom to do things ourselves and they are impressing upon us.” You see this is the thing, and this is a very important principle of Guru Tattwa is, very important. Because in Guru Tattwa is a ten petal thing and inside is the Nabhi chakra, you see, the ten petals are, they’re to be balanced. There has to be a complete balance so that they go through the Nabhi chakra upwards. If there is no balance, Nabhi chakra gets closed. And this is the thing people don’t understand that nobody is higher and lower as such. That’s that way. Only thing that they’re all part and parcel of the same, if there is an imbalance on one side, then it has to be raised. If there is an imbalance on one side, the other side is affected in any case. So those who are creating imbalances should not feel that in any way they are dominated or anything, on the contrary they are lowering or tilting the other side. So one has to Read More …

Talk to Sahaja Yogis: America’s problems Brompton Square House, London (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

Talk to yogis, “America: its future and problems”. Brompton Square, London (UK), 13 August 1982. And I found Russian people extremely helpful in Sahaja in a way, very indirectly. The thing is they are very simple people, extremely simple people. I went to Uzbekisthan, the people of that place are extremely generous, very simple, and their self-esteem is absolutely correct, most surprising [interjection: it’s tremendous], yes and the people who were very highly placed sort of the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister of Uzbekisthan, sort of people there, they told me that they are seeking their spirit, this is not the end of that, just imagine and practically everyone at that level said that they are seeking their spirit. I warned them about this para-psychology that they are indulging into, it’s a dangerous thing and they are amazed, and they said that “yes, we know about it”, they have so much idea about the negativity and all that, most surprising. I was very much impressed, I knew their sense of administration will be different, their attitude towards people may be different and their administrators may be different and all these things are wrong but in way, you see, these people have taken all the badness to themselves and have saved the rest of the people at least, the administrators there and they could burst into stars in there, it will take off just like that, I know. Sahaja yoga will work out in Russia much faster than I ever thought Read More …

Brompton Square Ashram, London (UK), 7 December 1981 House Warming Puja, Brompton Square, London (UK), 7 December 1981. [Shri Mataji after Her arrival holds a statue of Shri Ganesha: “May God bless you. For the Portuguese. All right?”.] So today is a day of celebrating a very different type of thing, is the House of your Mother, which is called as the Mooladhara itself, no doubt. And it’s the Gauri, you see, who has to enter and stay there till you get your realisation. To come to England itself was really very well chased up and exciting, because this is the heart, where I had to come and work it out. And at this stage, when we see so many of you who are the cells, cells of this heart, who are awakened, who are so united, who know each other, who understand each other, work together, pump the blood of love, it’s really the most happiness-giving, you can say joy-giving, are the greatest fulfilment of My desire. I see you here working like small children, playing about, joyous, happy, giggling. Helping each other, learning how to be one with each other – I really feel the blessings of God have come down on this earth. You know that heart is the most important organ in the personality of the universe. And the human beings have to become aware of that point, who live here. That we have to live together, work together. If in the heart, even if there Read More …
