Talk after Marriage Announcements Kolhapur (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

Talk after Marriage Announcements I would advise that you people should meet each other, talk to each other, find out; and really this is the time you can decide. We’re sorry because so many forms came very late, otherwise we would have declared it in Pune as usual. But this time the forms came till the last. Even here we were receiving some forms. So we couldn’t decide; unless and until you have all the forms for that. So whatever has been decided by us is not final at all. Your desire is the final. You can talk to each other, be kind. In the beginning there’s no need to fight; we have the whole life left! I must tell you, whatever is your first impression is the best. So need not be artificial but try to be nice to each other and see the good points of each other. Nobody’s perfect in this world. Now, those who really do not think that it’s all right for them should absolutely, without any hesitation, let Mr. Yogi and Mr. Guido know about it because they have done all this job; I haven’t done it. We must talk to each other and find for yourself. We had problems with the age; for the young girls we didn’t have young boys. And also we had problem with heights. Somewhere some people have written wrong heights. Might be, we might have done some mistakes, so that we’ll try to correct. May God bless you Read More …

Shri Mahalakshmi Puja. Kolhapur (Maharashtra-India), Hindi Talk, 21 December 1990. This way the three and a half shakthi (Kundalini) is residing in Maharashtra, and also the Shri Chakra is residing here.All of you know that in the central path resides Mahalakshmi and also the Kundalini is awakened in the central path. For thousands of years in this Mahalakshmi temple it is recited (chanted) UDO UDO AMBE to awaken the Amba Kundalini and the kundalini shakthi in Mahalakshmi gets awakened. For this the Amba who resides in this Mahalakshmi temple arises.Kolasur was killed here and that’s why the name Kolapur. There was a rakshasa named Kolasur and he was killed here and from thename Kolasur it is named Kolapur.Wherever you go to the temples where the prithvi tattwa (Mother Earth) has created the swayambhu statues, there, completely people started making money out of it, because of this there will be less of Chaitanya (vibrations).Now you have come (sahajayogis) and it is possible again the Mahalakshmi (vibrations) get purified. Sushmna nadi is made in the way as the three nadis and behind there is a very subtle nadi and it is called Brahma nadi. The Kundalini gets first awakened in this nadi. From this subtle Brahma nadi it passes and awakens (opens) the Brahmarandra. By awakening the Brahmarandra the self realisation starts, so in this special way Kundalini’s central path is made.Whatever is the obstacle (badhas) slowly, slowly the Kundalini awakening steadies itself through meditation. In Sahaja Yoga first we reach the peak (top) after we settle down. First we go to the top… [After this one phrase, the words are not audible and Mother tells the Maharashtrians in marathi how everybody Read More …

Kolhapur (India), 30 December 1987. [Talk] After coming from a hectic shopping … have you been able to get your chappels. Yes? Not yet. Even tomorrow morning you can do some shopping if you want and you can go in the afternoon from here. You have reach there at about 9 o’clock or something. Today when I was coming from the shopping, I couldn’t get into the car. One foot was inside, and another would not leave it. So I came out of the car and then I knew that Mahalakshmi’s temple there were bells ringing and the aarti was on. So [INAUDIBLE WORD] Mahalakshmi didn’t want me to get into the car. I had to stand outside ’till the whole thing was over. And then suddenly everything was all right. My foot was completely glued and I couldn’t lift it. First I didn’t know what was happening, then I suddenly [I… del] realized, and I felt that still the place is, despite all the nonsense they do there, still the place has got lots of vibrations, and is still there the Mahalakshmi’s temple. Now, we have to understand, that in the name of religion so many wrong things have taken place. They are doing all kinds of wrong things. It’s all anti-religious activities. For example, in this beautiful temple of Mahalakshmi where there is a swayambhu of Mahalakshmi, which has come out of the Mother Earth, people are using black magic. There are tantrikas sitting.

Talk at Music Program, Sant Tukaram Vidya Mandir Malharpeth, Kolhapur (India)

Talk At Music Program, Sant Tukaram Vidya Mandir There should be no sin in my eyes, no lust in my eyes. Better if I am blind than to have lust in my eyes. The second one is it’s better not to hear ill about God. It is better that I am deaf. I should not say something that is not holy; I should not say something unholy. It is better that I become dumb. And he says, Tukaram (UNCLEAR) is the poet. He says that I am fed up with everything else. I only like my Shri Krishna, that’s the God. He likes only God. Very simple song but very good. What I was trying to say that, you see it is so engraved in our tradition. That’s very easy to understand these things that there should be no sin in my eyes, my eyes should be sinless otherwise it is better that I become blind. This may be borne that it’s a very beautiful poem. It is rather embarrassing when you place me too much in this one. Somebody who can translate it. (Speaks in Marathi, Come here and translate this in English. Translate from Marathi to English.) [Sahajayogi speaks in Marathi and another sahajayogi along with Shri Mataji translates it in English. The English translation is given below.] Shri Mataji: He is saying that this is our Dear Mother, Nirmala Mata. Priye, means you know. Sahajayogi translates: Our hearts are very high and our behaviour is very simple. Read More …

Shri Mahalakshmi Puja: The innermost stream of Brahmanadi Kolhapur (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

“The innermost stream of Brahmanadi” Shri Mahalakshmi Puja, Kolhapur (India), 3 February 1984. So we are all here now in this sacred place called Kolhapur. The Goddess killed the asura called Kolhasura here, who was a very bad demon; who was born again recently, but he died also. So thank God the death of Kolhasura has taken place! This place, specially, is marked because from the Mother Earth the Mahalakshmi energy was emitted specially from the deity of Mahalakshmi. And, as you know that, Mahalakshmi is the ascending power within us, through which we ascend. It’s like the staircase which takes you into the Realm of God, and so it is very important.  And Maharashtra’s deity is Vitthala, Shri Krishna. Because it is the ascending power of Vishnu, to Shri Krishna, then Mahavishnu and then to Sahasrara. All this is possible because we have got Mahalakshmi channel within us. If you did not have sushumna we would have been like animals only. Even animals have this channel up to a point. As you know they can come up to the Void. But after the Void the ascent as human being starts through this Mahalakshmi energy within us. So this energy is very important and that one is very much worshipped in this country.  First this energy starts working within us as seeking: seeking shelter and food. Once the shelter is established, which is established through the Mahakali Shakti. I mean when it is in the heart of an animal — Read More …

Talk about Shri Saraswati and the Veena Kolhapur (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

Talk about Shri Saraswati and the Veena, 1983, Kolhapur, India The gentleman who accompanies, his name is Mr. Chatterjee but I have never seen anyone so far, playing those talas [rhythms] on tabla so well. It’s alright to play all North Indian talas on tabla, but to mix up both and to manage the South Indian talas on tabla is the first time I am seeing. Otherwise they normally use mrudungum. It is a very, very unique combination of things we have worked out and, if you have time, do come some time to our centre and we’ll explain to you what is the naada [sound] and what does it mean and what is this great instrument which is called as veena, which is the Primordial Instrument. All the instruments are variations and manifestations of this instrument, which is the first, the primordial, conceived first, in the awareness of human beings and that’s why it is regarded as a holy instrument. It is in the hand of the Goddess Saraswati, who is the Goddess of Learning and of Lalitakala, meaning the five arts. According to the great seers, the Goddess of Learning suggests or symbolises a personality which must know music; means if a person, if he is learned, then he must know what is music. If he doesn’t understand music, then he’s not yet a perfect, learned man. Everybody who is a learned man, must know music. That is indicated by this instrument in the hands of Saraswati.

Shri Mahalakshmi Puja: Mahalakshmi tattva Kolhapur (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

Shri Mahalakshmi puja. Kolhapur (India), 1 January 1983. [Starts at 5:55] Today again is a new year’s day, every new year comes, because we have to take to something that is new. It has been so arranged that the sun has to move for 365 days and again a new year has to come. Actually the whole solar system is moving in a spiral way. So, there is definitely a higher, higher state of this solar system. Every year it is rising higher in a spiral way. So it is not only that it is because 365 days have passed, but because it has moved a step forward higher than what it was. Now, we can see that in awareness, human beings have definitely risen much higher than what they were, say, about 2000 years back. But the first system that started, the whole universe, was the first model, we can say, was created. And that model has to be perfect and that was a perfect model which then started perfecting the rest of it. So, that is the perfect model which is in the principle of this ascent and that is working out this ascent. Now the perfection of the rest of the universe takes place in various directions but today we have to consider the Mahalakshmi Principle. Now Mahalakshmi, as I told you, is a perfect principle, is a perfect principle, it’s perfected. It is born as perfect, will remain as perfect. It will be always eternally perfect Read More …
