“Learn from Your Guru”. Ganapatipule (India), 6 January 1990. I was ready at six o’clock when Babamama came and bought some very important people to meet me and I was just ready but so happens doesnt matter, and I am anxious to see the little ballet these people from Delhi have arranged and the little children are going to now do it for you. I hope you all are meditating every morning and talking Sahaja Yoga, meeting each other. And this is more to get together, that we should all discuss about Sahaja Yoga, and find out what is the way we can do it better. Morning time, I was thinking that, we can allot it, now, to people who would like to have a, they call it a ‘brain trust’, sort of a thing, a conference. You could have it. Tomorrow is the puja but day after tomorrow we are free in the morning time and also 9th [January] we are free. So you all could discuss and talk about things and about what has happened in Satara district. And all those things can be discussed among all of you. And it can be established that we understand Sahaja Yoga properly among ourselves. Many people do not know much about Sahaja Yoga, especially ladies. I think they have to know quite a lot. They just think they are in Sahaja Yoga, so they are floating with the big flow of water. That’s not the way to know about Sahaja Read More …

Yogini Interview Nick: Okay, get the fact’s clear in your head. Don’t worry about it. It sounds very good, it’s a very good story so Mother specifically said we should have a word with you so… Are you ready? Okay, so please give me your name and where you’re from and how long you’ve been in Sahaja Yoga. Rachael: My name’s Rachael Hall. I’ve been in Sahaja Yoga for almost three years. I’m from England. Nick: So what difference did Sahaja Yoga bring to your life? Rachael: Sahaja Yoga made an immense difference to my life because when I came along I’d been ill for two years with an illness that the doctors at the time couldn’t understand or didn’t have any knowledge about. I developed the illness due to my lifestyle which was very extreme. I was pushing myself to the limits all the time, completely exhausted, not eating and taking drugs. I was very, very thin, very pushed completely to the point of no return almost. And I developed an illness that came in the form of allergies to almost every food. I could eat only three or four foods and I was very, very tired, no energy, very weak. Splitting headaches all of the time. I would just have headaches and not be able to sleep at night. I find it very, very difficult to sleep. In fact, my whole life came to a halt. I had no social life or anything. Nick: So what did you Read More …

Talk to Sahaja Yogis: Value Systems Ganapatipule (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

Two Talks to yogis. Ganapatipule (India), 26 December 1988. English Transcript We have to understand that we have risen above our human awareness and at that level we were different and at this new awareness we are different people and all our priorities must change. Our value system has to change, and if it has not changed automatically we have to little bit deliberately work it out. Or else we have to see that we become really the Spirit and no more of all the falsehood of human awareness should be attached to us or we should be bothered about it. The, if you see, the principle of everything, as I see, the principle of everything, rather human endeavor, whatever it is, it is based on gathering property. Whether it is communism, or it is democracy or socialism or anything, it’s all going round and round to the point of property. Property, that may be land, that may be money, that may be anything. All economic activity surrounds that one point, is property. So the democracy, though it’s a political organization or political theory, actually is based on something very economic, economical thing called property. Then, same about communism, we can say; it’s the same thing, to, how to distribute the property, how to have the property equally, how to make everybody self-sufficient. But as soon as you become a realized soul, you have to know that your properties and your priorities are very different. Your property is your Spirit Read More …

Christmas Puja: Transformation Ganapatipule (India)

Christmas Puja. Ganapatipule (India), 25 December 1988. Today, we all Sahaja Yogis are standing on the brink of the ocean, ocean of humanity, where we have to face the problems of human beings. Otherwise, in the nature there are no problems, they are all already solved. So, one has to understand that it’s not just a movement of few people, chosen people, just to achieve Self-realization, but it’s a big revolution which has to bring forth the beauties of human beings, the glories of human beings, the proof of divinity, of divine power and of God Almighty. We have to now face that multitude of people who are absolutely ignorant compared to you, who have not known the knowledge of God, who are either lost into the darkness of ignorance or are burning in the fire of ego. We have to transform this world into a new world, a beautiful world which you all are enjoying, to establish it, to be established on this earth, for which we have to prepare ourselves. So far, Sahaja Yoga means blessings; if somebody is less blessed, they ask Me questions, “How is it, Mother, we haven’t got this when we are praying to You? Why did it not work out? It should have happened, after all we are worshipping You, so how is it that my son did not get the job?” So, I mean, as if it’s sort of a, some debts have to be paid to all the Sahaja Yogis by Read More …

Purity and Holiness. Ganapatipule (India), 24 December 1998. Happy Christmas to you all. May God Bless You. [Applause] The birth of Christ is celebrated all over the world, and it’s nice that we are celebrating here at Ganapatipule His birth. As you know very well in Sahaja Yoga, we have realised that the principle of Christ was Shri Ganesha. So this is the right place to celebrate the Christmas and the Birth of Christ is the – absolutely coincides today and I am very happy that you have chosen Ganapatipule for that. Now as you know very well, that Ganesha’s principle became the principle of Christ at the Agnya Chakra. And that’s a very important centre that we have within ourselves which has given us a new dimension to our personality, that we can resurrect ourselves as Christ resurrected Himself; so the message of His life is resurrection. So from His birth He got His resurrection done, in the same way you are born again when you get your Resurrection, or you become Sahaja Yogis. On the same principle it works. But He had to physically pass through all the penance, as we say that He died for us, for our sins; but now as He has done that for us, the Agnya Chakra is absolutely at our command, that we can open it out whenever we like, if we are Sahaja Yogis, and we can enlighten that Chakra also. This is the Chakra always caught up by people who Read More …

Talk in Ganapatipule. Ganapatipule (India), 7 January 1988. Today is the parting day. With all the joy and enjoyment of our personalities, it has become a beautiful painting in My memory. But for a mother it is very difficult to understand that everyday I have to think of leaving some of My children somewhere and going to another place. I wish a day should come when all of us should live together all the time. (Applause). In your love for Me you have lived in this partened conditions and have never complained about it. Whatever was possible the Indian Sahaj Yogis tried to organize. But it’s like one brother appreciating another brother and avoiding all the subjects which might hurt each other, which might upset another person. It is that beautiful love and affection among yourselves that has brought forth the success of this Ganapatipule station. I know there have been lots of, lots of, lots of inconveniences to both the parties. But the bliss of love covers everything. So nice to enjoy each other, each other’s company. Whatever may be the circumstances, the discomfort, one doesn’t feel hurt, one doesn’t feel in any way insulted or neglected. It’s such a beauty spread all over. Such beautiful waves of compassion and love among yourselves. It is nothing more I want, but to see all of you so nicely enjoying each other’s company, loving each other, being kind to each other.

Devi Puja Talk: God is Satchitanand (Marathi talk not on the video) Ganapatipule (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

Puja Talk, India Tour. Ganapatipule (India), 6 January 1988. It is said that God is Satchitanand. He is truth, He is attention and He is joy. In Sahaja Yoga, first you have discovered the truth. Discover the truth on your fingertips. The truth that you can discover on your central nervous system is the truth. First you discover the truth and you can tell about it, talk about, explain about it but you cannot give it to others unless and until the other person gets Realization. So, the truth has to be tested. One has to test on the fingertips the existence of truth. Otherwise all kinds of descriptions are of no weight. No one can understand what you are talking about when you tell them that you can feel the All-pervading power of Gods’ love around you. And then you start experiencing your attention. You start feeling that there is somebody, some force, some power, some organization is looking after you. Gradually you find your own attention becomes active. Today I am happy to say that I can tell you all these things openly, so clearly. But can you believe that 20 years back even in India nobody could talk about it because something Agamya, not to be known, not to be understood because your attention has become enlightened. With your enlightened attention you are listening to Me that’s why you are understand what I am saying. You attention itself has become active now and it baffles you sometimes Read More …

Talk: Being Bandhamukta – A free personality and Evening Program Ganapatipule (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

Ganapatipule Seminar, India Tour. Ganapatipule (India), 5 January 1988. From yesterday’s programme, and all these days, you must have realised that to get your Kundalini working out, to get Her rush towards the Sahasrara and to widen your Sushumna Nadi it is not necessary that you should sit for meditation for three to five hours. Of course, you must meditate for a short time because that is at a point where you are alone, one with your God. But otherwise in the collective, when you merge into it, then the Kundalini rises the same way. It’s a very discreet way of understanding what happens. In the collective when you are, you compensate each other, complement each other, and a subtler side of the cosmos starts manifesting in you. Then if you could really merge there’s a word ’emerge’ in Sanskrit language or in Marathi language is very good is ‘ramamaana’. I don’t think “merging with joy” but there is no ‘with’ you see, merging into joy. So if you can merge into the joy of anything that is sahaj you can become a meditative personality, you can achieve that meditative mood within yourself. With that mood, with that force, new subtler dimensions start breaking out within you. Your different kind of conditionings which are like shackles, binding you down, just open out and you become a free person – bandhamukta. With that force everything breaks: your ego breaks, your conditioning breaks and you become one with the joy of life, Read More …

Idea to start Yuva Shakti, Ganapatipule (India), 4 January 1988. Mr. Pradhan is a very humble person. He didn’t tell you, that we have started a, I mean, he actually brought the idea to start a, another subsidiary you can call it, or whichever way you may say, another parallel movement, called as “Yuva Shakti”. Which is meant for the young people in Sahaja Yoga. For their guidance, for their expression, and for their dedication. And, this is spreading so fast now that I am told we have got Yuva Shakti even in Pune. And may be, it might spread to other places, to other countries, so that they can correspond, have a rapport, try to understand each other. So, this is a new movement, which was really suggested by Mr. Pradhan, and I really heartily congratulate him for putting it into action. (Applause). No doubt, we must care for our young people. And look after them and give them their due respect and they must know their due duties towards Sahaja Yoga. I found them to be excellent workers, very dedicated innocent hands that I have got. I am very proud of them. And please give them a hand to all the young people. (Applause). So there will be, we have another group, now here, it is Ashis who has come from Nagpur.

Talk to yogis, India Tour. Ganapatipule (India), 3 January 1988. I hope you are all very comfortable now and that you are enjoying the food as well. [Applause] Also we are approaching the fag end of our tour. This tour was arranged, as you know, like a journey through your Sushumna Nadi at different, different points different, different Chakras. In the same way we have passed through various places and now we have reached Ganapatipule where we have to get our Sahasrara fully drenched with blessings of Shri Ganesh. As you know Sahaja Yoga is a very subtler happening within us. It’s a very subtler happening and this subtler happening gives you sensitivity to Divine joy. When you start getting the Divine joy you don’t care for any comforts, you don’t care for all worldly type of pleasure giving things. To you, this becomes the most important thing and the only thing. Apart from that you start seeing the truth as it is. When I say you start seeing the truth many people can misuse this word. I’ve seen many people saying that they can decide things on vibrations and they have decided certain things on vibrations. But they commit mistakes. That means they have not yet grown up to that state where they can decide on vibrations. So nobody should arbitrarily decide but consult the collective, especially your leaders to find out if whatever decision you have taken, whatever you have thought of, is it all right or not.

Evening Program, Sahaj Yogiyon Ko Upadesh [English translation from Hindi] 0:00 – 0:07[Marathi] 0:32 – 2:07 [Hindi] Firstly, the Sahaja Yogis coming from Delhi and Mumbai are not our guest.  Our guests are the Sahaja Yogis who have come from abroad.  The buses were funded by them for their conveyance from Mumbai to this place.  It is unfair that you all have used their conveyance to reach this place and all of them (Sahaja Yogies from abroad) are stranded and waiting there.  Kindly be aware that all of you are not guests but are here to serve the Sahaja Yogies who have come from abroad.  Kindly improve your habits. Last time, I had to personally pay Rupees 35000/- for your transportation.  It will be better if you come walking to this place or else only one bus will be arranged for your conveyance.  I hope I have made myself clear. It is absurd that all of you conveniently used their transport and left them stranded.  They are the ones who have paid money for these buses. They are helping Sahaja Yoga.  2:12 – 3:39 [Hindi]  Please send all the buses right away to get them.  Also, only one bus number will be announced for all of you present here.  Except for that bus, no other bus shall be used by any Indian Sahaja Yogi for their use.  Only one bus shall be arranged for your transportation throughout the day. Learn from these Sahaja Yogis, to be disciplined.  Also, how they Read More …

Devi Puja: The Duties of a Guru Ganapatipule (India)

Author3 Comments

Talk to yogis, Ganapatipule (India), 3 January 1987. English Today is the third day of the Moon. Third day of the Moon is Tritiya, is the special day for the virgins. Kundalini is the virgin desire. It is virgin because it has not yet manifested itself. And also, on the third center of Nabhi, the virgins appear as shaktis of Guru. As we have got ten Gurus which we regard as the main Gurus they all had either their sister or daughter as their shakti. In the Bible it is said that, in the Old Testament, that the one who will be coming will be born of a virgin. And then the Jews would not accept Christ so they said that “It’s not written as virgin, it’s written ‘the girl’.” Now in Sanskrit Language ‘girl’ and ‘the virgin’ are one word. We did not have 80-year-old girls as we have nowadays. So the virginity of a woman meant that she was a girl who was not married as yet or who has not met her husband so far. That is the essence of purity, which was the power of the Guru Principle. So, for a Guru who is in charge of leading others into enlightenment, has to know that his power is to be used as a virgin power of pure power. A Guru cannot use this power in a way an ordinary person can use. So his relationship with his disciples whether they are boys or girls has to be absolutely Read More …

Evening Program, Beauty Must Have Auspiciousness God almighty created this universe, in a very beautiful manner. I have told you many a time the story of creation, and how the evolution took place. The mirror is made to see your face, and God almighty could not see himself: His qualities, His greatness, His generosity, His magnanimity. Like the sun cannot see itself. Moon cannot see itself. Like the gold cannot see itself. A pearl, how can it go inside itself and see itself? So, this creation was made like a mirror for God to see His reflection. Ultimately He created the most beautiful mirror that is human beings. At this point it would have been alright, if Adam and Eve had not used their freedom wrongly. There would have been not such a long time and, had to go through evolutionary process with all the incarnations coming in, guiding people. And today, at this time, to get to your spirit, to express God in your mirror fully. This has taken a long long process. But if you see it’s so beautifully done. I think that’s the play of Mahamaya. That, first of all, beautiful worlds were created, beautiful start were created, you see them around. Then beautiful mountains and rivers. Then beautiful plant kingdom came in, and the beautiful variety of trees. So much of varieties. Varieties bring forth the beauty of God’s own imagination.

Talk on Innocence & Musical Program (Morning) Ganapatipule (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

Talk about Innocence, Ganapatipule (India), 2 January 1987. Today, in this blessed place of Mahaganesha, we have all assembled to go deep into our own beings, to enjoy our own glory. One has to remember that the very first thing God created on this earth was Shri Ganesha because He could emit holiness. He exists as chaitanya and this chaitanya exists in the atom and molecules as you know very well, as vibrations – symmetric and isometric. These vibrations later on start expressing themselves in the plant kingdom as life force and you see how they are kept under a bondage. A tree that is a mango tree will go up to a certain point. A coconut tree will grow up to a certain point. It’s all under control, and then it is expressed in the animals, where it binds them. That’s why they are called as pashus, means under bondage. But in the human being it is expressed as auspiciousness and ultimately as the epitome, as holiness. Holiness is to be understood in its essence as well as in its contents.Holiness is an innate quality of a personality, where a person rejects all that is unholy, all that is inauspicious. The ego doesn’t play any part. Up to the animal stage, ego doesn’t exist. But in the human stage, you are given freedom to choose whether you want holiness or not. But in the ego of man, he might say, “What’s wrong?” and he may defy all the rules Read More …

Shri Mahaganesha Puja Ganapatipule (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

Shri Mahaganesha Puja. Ganapatipule (India), 1 January 1986. Today we all have assembled here to pay our respect to Shri Ganesha. Ganapatipule has a special significance because He is Mahaganesha. The Ganesha at Mooladhara becomes Mahaganesha in the Virata, that is the brain. That means it is the seat of Shri Ganesha. That means Shri Ganesha governs, from that seat, the principle of innocence. As you know very well, it is placed at the back, in the region of optic thalamus, optic lobe, as they call it; and it is the giver of innocence to the eyes. When He incarnated as Christ – which is in here, in the front, at Agnya – He said very clearly that “Thou shalt not have adulterous eyes.” It’s a very subtle saying, which people don’t understand what is the meaning of the word ‘adulterous’. ‘Adultery’ means impurity in a general word.  Any impurity in the eye “thou shalt not have”. It’s very difficult. Instead of saying that you get your realization and clear your Back Agnya, He has said it in a very short form, “Thou shalt not have adulterous eyes”.  And people thought “It’s an impossible situation!” Because He was not allowed to live long – actually His public life is limited to three-and-a-half years only – so whatever He has said has a very great significance, that your eyes should not be adulterous. When there is innocence there is no adultery. It means there’s no impurity. For example, with our eyes, Read More …

AuthorLeave a comment

The innocence of a child, Ganpatipule (India), 31 December 1985. I had a special purpose in coming to Ganpatipule, apart from that it was a very beautiful place and very relaxing for all of you. The reason is – I found this place had vibrations which will clear you out very easily, first of all. But you have to desire it, really, ardently. You should have that desire otherwise the Kundalini may not rise. That is a very important point; that you have to desire your ascent, nothing else. It’s not a place you have come for a holiday or just for some sort of a relaxation or for some enjoyment or sleeping or anything, but you have come here for a penance, for a tapasya, to clear out yourself completely. This is a place of Shri Ganesha’s temple which is not very much frequented by people and it’s still very, very pure. And I thought that the Ganesh principle will be awakened in you which is the source of everything. Shri Ganesha’s principle, as you know, in a very large way or expansive way, we call it ‘the innocence’, but we do not know the intricacies and the details to which it can go and work it out. Shri Ganesha’s innocence has a tremendous power to purify people, to make you holy, to make you auspicious. A person who has got Shri Ganesha’s principle awakened is auspicious in his presence. Such a person, whenever he moves, things move in Read More …

Musical Program, Ganapatipule, India, December 30th, 1985 Babamama: And this raga is very close to Mataji also. I hope you’ll all enjoy it, thank you. 2:06:50 Shri Mataji: Now, you will hear the beautiful prophecy made by a great poet and a great saint Shri Dnyaneshwara of Maharashtra, about Sahaja Yoga. He says that: “Now, get up and walk.” The forester forest of the trees of good wishes or wishful feeling: “Kalpa taru sē lāpa.” [Unsure]. The second one he says that: “You are the talking seas and the oceans, talking oceans of amrusa.” Like that, he describes the Sahaja Yogis. So, they are forest and forester, oceans and oceans. The whole thing is so beautifully said that I think it is done in Nirmala Yoga and you must have read the translation. 2:15:09 I think now it is time for us to go. We have to thank all the artists. All the Sahaja Yogis who have been so kind to perform this beautiful evening’s program and also the people, the great artists who came from Nagpur, I don’t know whom to thank. It’s so great. From my heart, I bless all of you, I bless all the artists. May God give them more strength, more wisdom and creativity to create the new dimension of God’s realm on this earth. May God give you great wisdom to progress in your spirituality and your ascent, in a rhythmic musical manner. May God bless you.

[transcript missing] Dr.Rustom speaking on day one of the international Sahaja Yoga seminar in Ganapatipule, Maharashtra, India. You see, here we are in the seminar and we are all Sahaja Yogis and we are having a good time, we are cracking jokes, we’re discussing things, etc., etc. But, this is all very well, I mean, one can enjoy oneself, in fact one should enjoy oneself because the whole creation has been created in such a way that we should enjoy ourselves. From the dawn of the creation, the Shri Adi Shakti of the Universe has played out a drama using Her Deities, using all the powers that She created, to create a Universe so beautiful that it should be possible for us to live in it in complete joy and complete enjoyment of our existence. If one gives you an example… Yesterday we sat and we listened to ragas. These ragas themselves were inspired by the Shri Adi Shakti in realized souls those who gave them to the world. The whole thing has been created by Her in different aspects. So that we should enjoy ourselves and so that we should not be miserable. And why does She want us to be happy? Because it is when you are happy and relaxed than the power of God can work on you, to raise you to a great Read More …
