Easter Puja Kolkata (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

Easter Puja (Translated from Hindi). Calcutta (India), 14 April 1996. Today we are doing Easter Puja. Today is a very important day for Sahaja Yogis because Isa-Messiah (Jesus) has shown us that redemption of human beings is possible, and for that redemption we should always put in an effort. There is also a meaning why He was crucified. He was crucified on the cross and this cross is a symbol of the Swastika on the Agnya chakra. He was crucified and He left His body there only. He told some important things at that time and one most important thing out of this was “Wait for the Mother” – “Think of the Mother”. (Behold the Mother?)Everybody can interpret it in a different way, but it seems He said that He will send for us such a shakti (power) who has three channels – Trigunatmika, and that is described very beautifully. One of these Shaktis/powers will give us comfort. This comfort-giving power in us is Mahakali’s power which gives us comfort, which cures our diseases, which corrects/solves many questions of our past. The second power, which He gave us, which He sent to us, was Mahasaraswati and to this Mahasaraswati Power, He called Counsellor, the one who will counsel you – that means, who helps us for Yognirupan (to see the form of Yoga). With the help of this second power, we will get Gyan (Knowledge), we will know the subtle knowledge. And the third power, (Mahalakshmi) with the help of Read More …

Translation of 1996-0413 Public Program, Maa ka Khel Maya, Kolkata, India (Hindi) I bow down to all the Seekers of Truth. First you should know, that truth will remain truth. What is truth today will remain truth tomorrow. You cannot change that in any way. You cannot transform it and you cannot describe it. Truth is to be known and it is known on our central nervous system. That is what is called bodh; that is what is called Vid. The word Budh from Bodh and the word Vedita from Vid. Until we can feel the truth on our central nervous system until then saying that you know the truth is deceiving yourself. You know truth with your mind with your brain which we call as mann. This system called as Mana which is established in us is a non-ordinary power of ours through which whatever we see, there is a reaction of anger a part of the system one side ego and another system is what we call Sanskar or conditioning. Using these two systems we react to any human, things, topic. Like we see this camera then we think whose it it, wonder what the cost is where to buy it and many other kinds of thoughts popup. The ego says we can also buy if that person can buy and the other system of super-ego driven by our conditioning thinks well with that person in a similar case this happened, it got broken / lost etc. Like Read More …

You have to crucify your ego, Easter Puja, Calcutta (India), 14 April 1995. Translation from Hindi: First I will speak to you in English and then in Hindi. [English talk] Today is the day we are celebrating Easter. Easter is extremely symbolic, of – not only of Christ, but also for all of us. In that the most important day is that of resurrection. The resurrection of Christ has the message of Christianity, not the cross. Through resurrection Christ had shown that one can be resurrected with the body that you have. And without His resurrection, we could not have managed the crossing of Agnya chakra, no doubt. His life was very short of, we can say three and half years only, He lived there. He came to India and He met Shalivahana, and Shalivahana asked His name. He told him His name was Isa Masih. But He said, “I am coming from the country where there are malichchas, mala-ichchha. They have ichchha of mal, desire to get dirty, and I don’t know how to live there. To Me, this is My country.” But Shalivahana said that, “You should go back and save Your people and give them Parama Nirmala Tattwam. So He went back, and as it is, within three and half years He was crucified. At the time of His death He said so many beautiful things for forgiveness, but ultimately He said “Behold the Mother.” That means you should hope for the Mother. And in His lifetime He Read More …

Talk ( After Performances ) Shri Mataji :  I don’t know how to thank Mrs Amita Dutta. It was one of the greatest performances of Kathak, I have ever seen. Normally Kathak becomes quite boring after some time for people who don’t understand much of ‘tala’.But this had such creativity which is the speciality of Bengal. I said Bengal at its best I saw today. The creativity of Bengal has created very great literature, poetry, also drama also dancing but this combination of everything today I see here in such a collective manner which has given me the greatest pleasure. You know how I respect artists especially the Indian Artist because our art is to be appreciated only through very deep [unclear /sensitivity ] And now as in this country lot of western influences coming up …People are taking to a cheap type of entertainments. At this juncture, to see such a beautiful performance now I have great hopes that our art will again prosper and really enter into the world market I should say …Where they will make people much deeper not running after money but after art. Perhaps you all know how !  I love art and artist & I respect them very much. I bless them from my heart for such a beautiful drama you did.

Public Program (Hindi) Netaji Indoor Stadium I bow to you all the seekers of truth. In this Kaliyuga, man has become distracted and is fearful of the various problems. Never before, were there as many seekers of truth, as there are in this Kaliyuga; and, these are the times when you will find the truth. But we must understand, what truth are we seeking, what are we seeking? Otherwise, we get glued to something and then start believing it to be true. The reason being, we are still unaware of truth— the absolute truth. Some people wonder if this is good or that is good, and then there are others who believe there is another way of living. So, man is caught in such tumultuous delusions of the heart. In this confusion, he fails to understand why there is no peace within him; or how to establish this peace. He can’t comprehend, why am I fighting and bickering with myself, unable to understand anything. This is the special quality of Kaliyuga and that is why man has is seeking in these times. Earlier, there weren’t such delusions; the man was content with humanity. But now man has evolved to a certain state. In this state, if you would be aware of only the truth, then there would be no fights, and everyone would think the same. Moreover, by explaining or telling about something, man becomes too brainy and mental. Even by reading too much, he becomes mental and there is Read More …

Birthday Puja. Calcutta (India), 21 March 1994. Every year we have birthdays of various people, and every year we make a vow that, “This year I will not do this or I will not do that.” This is a very good way of seeing how far we have come in life. Many people who really have achieved a very great height in their spiritual life did not need a birthday. But every day they felt it’s a birthday to start, to go ahead, to understand, to learn. Every day is a New Year for them.      In our own life we see that our surroundings change very slowly. Sometimes it is shocking; sometimes you are surprised how the surroundings are not changing. But, in a subtle way, there is a tremendous change that is happening within us and without. The whole atmosphere today is governed by human beings. I don’t know how far Paramchaitanya works it out, but it is for us to open ourselves to new dimensions in our lives. For example, if we find we still have, through our introspection, we locate that we have these old, subtle, nonsensical things still hanging around us, we don’t have to vow for it. You have to just witness it, and the destructive path it is taking you to. Immediately you will give up. You don’t have to worry as to put a vow upon yourself, because now you are “samartha” [capable], meaning now you are absolutely empowered. Whatever you think is Read More …

Shri Mataji: Meditation you cannot do, you have to be in meditation, it’s a state of meditation. Like some people say that you can sit like this prink like this and with that you will go into meditative state, you cannot, because always your mind is jumping on the crests of your thoughts, they come from the future and the past, and you cannot think of the present, you cannot come to the present, and when you are in meditation then you are in present you don’t think, it’s called as “Nirvachara Samadhi” Question: This concept which you have evolved, what is the kind of response that you have received to this? Shri Mataji: You see the world is full of, these day, full of strife and all kinds of problems, and this is the time predicted already that people will start seeking the truth and there are seekers all over the world who are trying to seek their peace with in themselves.

Birthday Felicitations Talk So much has been said about me that I really start wondering what is all going on. Actually, I am not at all aware how things are working out. How Sahaja Yoga is spreading all over the world? How you people have come to Sahaja Yoga? It is a very special time. It is the blossom time and I was happy that in the beginning, the ‘Shuddha Vasanta’  was played, suggesting this is the blossom time. And in this blossom time, it is all organised that this should happen. I am just a medium I think and not aware as to how things are working out? Only thing, my heart was filled with such feeling of gratitude to you that you have taken to Sahaja Yoga. It’s very difficult because it’s a very subtle knowledge (Sookshma) and in this gross world where it has become worse during modern times (Kaliyuga) I never hoped that I will create even twelve Sahaja Yogis. I know this is the time but I didn’t know that it will be such a time that people all over the world will take to truth and truth will prevail. So much falsehood all around in every walk of life, in every dimension of our personality. We accept all kinds of illusions.

After Birthday Felicitations, Calcutta (India), 20 March 1994. This was a song composed by Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, so many years back, when he had a vision of our Ganapatipule seminars, where he describes that people from all the world will come, from different countries will come. Also, the Hindus, the Muslims, Christians, Sikhs and all kinds of communities will get their awakening on the bank of the sea, ‘sagar’. ‘Sagar’ is the sea. So beautifully every detail he has described. He was a seer and he could see the future where many people, who are seekers, to become ‘mahamanav’ they come. And it’s very surprising how these seers have seen the future. Like, as you know, C. S. Lewis is there and also we have got William Blake*, so many others. And I feel today, in Bengal, when I have come here in Calcutta, that his dreams are fulfilled. His Spirit would be so happy to know- [applause]. So, as you know that we get all kinds of people, all races, all religions together in Ganapatipule and where you all enjoy the bliss of God, where you feel that there’s an awakening. Also, he says that the great Mother has now risen, and She is awakened and She is going to awaken you. So, clearly, he has seen the whole thing. It’s remarkable how these seers can see things and reveal, to our amazement. I am very happy that we have such nice company of Baba Zaheer and his other Read More …

Today, he told Me, in the play, about us, that shraddha we have, which is so much needed in our life.And I know it is in Bengal, people are going to really give you something great about art. Somehow or other, here, where River Ganges makes this great scene, there has been such a big manifestation of artists and art of Indian heritage.Firstly, the models are extremely devotional, lovable, loving. They are not materialists; they care more for human beings and for the human feelings.As I’ve told you always, the greatest novelist that I’ve ever known was Shakti Nitamudhin [unsure] who was the one who would just catch your heart and make you understand in every subject he has dealt and his art of writing is so beautiful as if he understand human being and their problems and how with love you can solve them. Sahaja, it is very close absolutely there, with the art, any of it, because it is the expression of the heart. When the imagination of an artist reaches the reality, then that artist becomes sahaj, automatically. We have had many artists like that, poets, who have through their imagination reached the reality, the depth of reality. And that has brought all the releases [unsure] by which they can cure many things which you cannot cure with analyses: social problems, politic problems, any kind of problems of creativity or Indian gurdate [unsure] Read More …

Then you will know who is the real guru; who is not. But as a Mother, I would say, you have a guru [UNCLEAR] why are you keeping a guru? Minimum. Any mother would say, “Baba, what is the use having the guru, when your health is not all right. Also, you have a guru and you are [UNCLEAR]. Then what’s the use of having such a guru? So there is something wrong, either with the guru or with yourself. So the best thing is – that first of all we must get in the position in the [UNCLEAR/state] by which we ourselves can know who is right and who is wrong. Who is real, who is unreal. These days these gurus are available everywhere. You know that. Anybody calls himself a guru. I mean, in [UNCLEAR] name, especially in Calcutta, everybody says, “I am he. I am he. I am he”.

Shri Mahasaraswati Puja 1992-02-03 India On seeing the depth of your love, My heart feels overwhelmed.  In this Kali Yuga it very difficult to recognize the Mother. Because we cannot even know our own mother then to know Me is even more difficult. But the depth of this Bang bhumi [Bengal] is working in you. That’s why I have seen that any Saha|a Yogi who comes from this part, becomes very deep, he goes very deep. And I am surprised that where I spent so many years and worked such a lot there, there are many people but not so deep. And the collectivity among them is not as beautiful as it is here.  The speciality, of Bang bhumi [Bengal] is that the collectivity and love for each other is absolutely selfless and unselfish. On seeing all this, you dont know how happy I am. And I wish that your work progress much more and take it to the masses. Because you know that, this land – is very much loved by the Mother.  Today you told that Saraswati Puja will be performed. It is absolutely essential that in Bang desh [Bengal], Saraswati should be worshiped. Because by the Devi’s blessings only and because of Her sacrifice, this land is fertile and green. You can see how much greenery is here. But the poverty here, the suffering here is because the worship of Saraswati has been very limited.

Shri Rama Navami Puja, Calcutta, India, 25/03/1991 [English translation from Hindi, First translation] We have gathered here on the occasion of Ram Navami. Everybody has said, “Mother please tell us about Shri Ram.” As you know that Shri Rama has taken a very important place in our chakras. He is sitting on our right heart. Shri Rama has taken a place of a father, so lack of father’s duty and love can cause a catch of this chakra. In Sahaja Yoga we can understand that Rama and all other gods came on earth with different power [shakti], they came to do their jobs. In the sense Shri Rama has a special job. Socrates has said benevolent king has to come. For that Shri Rama came. Shri Rama came in complete human form. He even forgot that he is an incarnation of Shri Vishnu. He was made to be forgotten. But he was Purushottam on earth [perfect human being]. You all must have heard of his qualities and his childhood. In Sahaja yoga when we worship any god, what quality we gain from them, which qualities we will receive? Shri Rama has many. One that he was ideal, another that he is a king. He kept his people higher than himself than his wife and children. If politicians today understand this point they wouldn’t be called selfish, they wouldn’t be selfish, would be follower of Dharma. Nobody has followed Shri Rama as a role model till today. By singing his bhajans Read More …

I told you yesterday that truth is fixed in its place. No one can change it. We just have to know the truth and achieve it. Until we have experienced the truth, it is a big mistake to accept anything as the proof of truth. Many people have their own convictions that, “This saying of mine is true, and that saying of mine is the truth. This religion is true, and that religion is true”. In this manner, we fight among ourselves, in the name of truth, but the truth is absolute. So, if the truth is absolute, and we have to know that absolute truth, then what is the need for fighting? There can be no fight because everyone knows the same truth. For example, I am standing here. Everyone watching sees that I am standing here. Now, no one can fight over the subject that I am not standing here. Everyone knows that I am standing here. Likewise, whatever is the truth should be the same for everyone. If it is not the same, then it is not the truth. Yesterday I explained to you that there can be one of the many aspects of truth, but that cannot be the complete truth. Today, we will try to know about the great truth which is hidden inside us, which is known as the spirit. And, the Kundalini, which enlightens this spirit in our attention, is situated in the triangular bone. This is present in three and a half Read More …

1990-04-09 Adi Shakti Puja, Kolkata, India The people of Kolkata, I am very happy to see your progress. I know that there are many deep seekers in this city. But they do not know as yet that the time has come, where they can get what they have been searching for. You people should go to them and look for such people who are seeking the truth. That is why it is important that we should expand and spread ourselves in all directions. Along with that we should also increase our own Powers. We should change our lives also. We should also make our lives enlightened like a lamp that is always emitting light, on seeing which people should recognize – ‘this person is someone special’, ‘there is some greatness about this person’. Not just that but when you use your Powers, people will understand that these people don’t just talk but can also do whatever they say. For this, I will say that meditation and contemplation is very important.  Kolkata is a very busy city and people get engrossed in this busyness. They find very little time. This time, which we have tied on our hands like a watch is meant for our own ascent and for our progress within. If we have to grow on the inside, if we have to know ourselves from within it is important that we meditate for a sometime every day.

‘Shri Mahalakshmi Puja’, Kolkata, India, 26 March, 1989 Today the great festival of Easter is celebrated all over the world, but mostly people areunaware about it.In Sahaja Yoga we have learnt, that the resurrection of Lord Jesus Christ is the foundation ofChristian religion, which means that the resurrection of human beings must also take place, andon the basis of this foundation, we Sahaja Yogis also believe that without the resurrection ofhuman beings, without their transformation, we cannot follow any religion.His power was his wife who was in the Mahalakshmi form. As she was born from the ocean, shewas named after the ocean because Lord Jesus Christ was the incarnation of Shri Mahavishnu.And if you read Devi Mahatmyam, it is all described there, but we are unable to connect boththe things and see them separately.Today we are going to worship Shri Mahalakshmi. The principle of Shri Mahalakshmi isconsidered very important here, because this principle exists in the very middle of SushumnaChannel. Kundalini also rises from the Sushumna Channel. We must understand that till nowwhatever we have become, from amoeba to human beings, it is the gift of Sushumna Channelwithin us and our Parasympathetic system also works due to Sushumna Channel.When our Lakshmi principle is complete or we become satisfied with it, when Shri Lakshmiprinciple fully settles within us, at that point we move towards Mahalakshmi principle where wesearch for that absolute wealth which is imperishable.Now we see that in Bengal, both Lakshmi and Mahalakshmi principles exist to a great extent.First the Read More …

Patanjali used the same thing. But he used a gradual method because that was a slow method.[ in Hindi- like use zamane mein bailgadi use karte the na.- in those times bullock carts were used] Now we are using motor cars. So that is the but the time has come. This time has been predicted in Nadi Granth, if you can get hold of Nadi Granth written by Bhrigu Muni, long time back that such a time is going to come. Interviewer : Mataji here Asanas and Pranayams are very popular. We do the postures in Sahaja Yoga is there any place of doing the Yoga postures?. Shri Mataji : No no. We do it whatever is needed. Here you see this is a half baked knowledge. And what happens that like a any half baked person will take all the medicines from the medicine box. Like that they go on doing it without understanding whatever is suitable to a personality. Every personality is different. Moreover when the Kundalini rises you know at what Chakra it is stopping and that is the Chakra you work out.

But with the thought that you people think that I will go away, I feel bad too. In the entire world there are many Sahaja Yogis, when I leave one, I think of all of them. And wherever I am going, there people are enthusiastically and joyfully waiting for Me. This is a dilemma. But this coming and going is the way of life. What we achieved in that is only important. And the most important is to achieve your Spirit. One person asked Me today, “I did not understand what the benefit of doing Sahaja Yoga is. So you please make me understand in simple language”. I told him everything, but if you want to understand, I’ll make you understand with a simple analogy. Like how a car is, think of our life also the same way and God gave us this life.

1986-10-12 Calcutta Public Program (Hindi) And I request you, that all those who are wandering in search of God, they too will have to take support of music first. Without that the work will not be done because the speciality of our Indian music is such that it can only be attained only by austerity and hard work. Human beings can have vision of the Divine in it’s various aspects such as it’s gravity, it’s flight, it’s spread, it’s depth, it’s delicacy. And all music emanates from that Om(AUM), which is known to people as the Spirit(Atma). Therefore, when man becomes engrossed in this music it is easy for him to find(get to) God. Maybe you find my words a bit poetic and they seem somewhat far from reality, maybe it feels, that I’m saying like this just to please the musicians, but this is not true. We also have seven energy centres(chakras) within ourselves and in total there are twelve chakras, similarly music also has seven notes and including five other notes the whole scale is formed. When Kundalini moves on our chakras, it produces a sound(note) The same notes are considered in our music. Our Indian music was founded by great visionaries, sages and saints. They may be belonging to any religion, be born in any part of the country – North, South, East, West – wherever they may have taken their birth, but considering the Spirit as the foundation, the whole musical edifice is built.

1986-1011, Sahaja Yog Ke Anubhav, Kolkata, India.(Experiences Of Sahaja Yoga) It is very easy to say what the truth is. Truth is what it is, and that is you are the spirit. You are the spirit, which is beyond the notions of mind, intellect, body and ego. But the light of that spirit hasn’t been reflected in your awareness. Or you can say that the light of that spirit has not yet dawned upon you. But when we put our attention on truth, then we think that truth is very harsh. A very difficult thing. Like a long time back it was said,” Satyam Vade, Hitam Vade”. (Truth that is said is beneficial). So how do we connect it? So Shri Krishna said it very beautifully that, “Satyam Vade, Hitam Vade, Priyam Vade”. That is what is beneficial and loving to the spirit is what has to be expressed. Maybe it is hurtful at the time, but later might become beneficial and loving. Even with all this understanding, sometimes we forget that God is love. And the truth is also love. As a mother when she loves her child she knows all about him. From that love arises that truth which is her child. And the emotion of love is also the product of human awareness. In reality, truth can’t get attached to anything. It is similar to sap from a tree, which climbs to the branches, the leaves, the flowers, the fruits and nourishes them and goes back down Read More …

 1986-1010 7-th Day of Navaratri, Shri Mahadevi Puja Pt 1 Talk, Kolkatta, 10 Oct. 1986 [English translation from Hindi] To all devotees and followers of truth, who have assembled here for the Puja, I offer My protection.  In this Kalyug of today, when so much devotion and homage for the Mother, and so much love comes into the hearts of human beings, then we can know that Satya Yuga (the Golden Age) has begun. This is a most fortunate and Divine coincidence for Me also, that on a Sashti Day I came to Kolkatta.  Because, in the shastras (scriptures) it is written that the coming of the Mother is always on Sashti day.  Sashti Day, (sixth day of Navaratri), is of Shakhambari  Devi;  and on that day the whole Nature should be green and lush.  Although I have heard that there were severe floods here, which caused great hardship to everyone; still I see that everywhere the Nature is green.  The roads got washed away, but no trees appear to have fallen or got their branches broken.  This means that there must be a hidden reason behind this action of Mother Nature.  Some latent or hidden cause; some unknown or secretive activity.  The situation in Kolkatta , due to many reasons, has become inauspicious, impure and corrupt.  From this we should understand that it has become very necessary, and that is why Devi’s displeasure is being expressed, and a great wave of cleansing has taken place.  In Kolkatta, where sakshat Devi Read More …

It’s so heartening that I find it difficult to express it in human words the way I envisage the vision that your founder must have thought of. I’m sure he must have been a realized soul himself. Apart from that, he looks like Confucius to Me. As Confucius has talked of humanism, in the same manner he has organized this beautiful organization of Lions here. The name he has given, “Lions”, is something so remarkable and so symbolic that as you know the Goddess always uses lion as Her vehicle. That is the vahana specially used when at different levels She has to be compassionate as well as very harsh to the people who are trying to destroy humanity. The lion is a great animal. I don’t know how many of you have seen a lion from looks. But it’s such a majestic animal. When it dies in a forest, the forest becomes absolutely desolate. No bird would chirp. You feel the complete silence in the forest because they think that our king has died now, such a great catastrophe has fallen upon us, “Who is going to protect us without the lion?” Apart from that, it’s a very dignified animal.

Public program. Kolkata (India), 2nd of April 1986. Translation from Hindi: Sahaja Yoga commenced as a small blade of grass, which has now grown to the size of sea. But it has to further grow to the size of Ocean. Now, I am totally convinced that this can grow further to the shape of  a big Ocean, in this Mahanagar. Today, I would like to tell you about the purpose of Sahaja Yoga and the benefit meted out  to mankind by  the awakening of Kundalini. Mother’s nature is such that whenever she has to give any thing bitter, she has to sweeten  the same  and  give it. But, it is not like that in Sahaja Yoga. In Sahaja Yoga the outer covering is sweet and  the inner portion is also very beautiful. Sahaja Yoga, as you are aware is, Saha means, it is born with you. This is such a Yoga, which is your birthright, and you have to obtain it. As told by Shri. Balgangadhar Tilak Sahib in a crowded court that independence is our birth right. In a similar manner, it is our birth right to know  about  our svatantra. This tatva of ‘sva’ tantra has been made in our system by God Almighty most beautifully, thousands of years ago. This is the reason, why we do not have to do anything about it. Only Kundalini gets awakened  and when  you get related to  the  all -pervading creation  of Almighty, and  bind with its strength of love, then Read More …

Birthday Puja (Hindi). Kolkata (India). 1 April 1986. [English Translation from Hindi] Since 21st March, you all are celebrating My birthday… and, in Bombay too, birthday was celebrated for 4 days with full vigor… after that birthday was celebrated in Delhi, and today too, it feels that, you all will keep celebrating My birthday. This tent has been decorated so beautifully… with flowers… and with different colors… all decoration has been done so much, that words stop, seeing the artists, that, how, with their heart, they have made such a talent-ful thing, in so little time. Today, the special thing is such that, mostly, in these days, when, Easter happens, I am in London… and every Easter Puja happens in London only. So they sent news that Mother, wherever You are, wherever Your puja happens, remember us there, and here we will do the Easter Puja that day. Arrangement of the Puja today happened so quickly… and with so much beauty… all this is immense blessing of God, that He, made such arrangement happen. But, here, a very big work is starting from today. Till now, I used to talk a lot about false gurus, and very openly I told about them, that how much they are wicked, how much they are demonic, and how they stop the path of true seekers, and put them in misunderstanding, and put them on a totally reverse path… and for this, many people said that it is not good to talk about such Read More …
