Puja: About ego Dr Sanghvi's House, Nashik (India)
Puja in Nassik at Dr. Sanghvi House, Nassik (India), 23 December 1986. So now we have here one of the most ancient places called Nasik. I think you must have heard about what happened when Shri Rama and Sita were staying here, why this place was called as Nasik that I will tell you in short. This is the place where Shri Rama and Sita and Lakshmana were staying and the sister of Ravana, because Ravana’s some of the empires, a part of the empire was very close to this place. She came down to entice Shri Rama. So Shri Rama smiled at her He said that, “It is not possible with Me because I have a very nice wife” in His own sweet ways and He is known for His formals, formal is not the word but for a sweet formalities, and we call it Sankocha. He said, “You better try your hand on My brother”, because He knew His brother is a terrific fellow. So this is all rakshasi, it’s all qualities of rakshashas that women who are rakshasinis try to entice men. Men who are rakshasas try to entice woman. It’s a quality of rakshashas not human beings. And of course not of the Devas. So this rakshasini wanted to try her luck. With her ego she went down to Lakshmana and she told Him that you are now living without your wife for 14 years and this 14 years are going to be very heavy for Read More …

But in the Kingdom of God, he was a prince. And he met another prince who was a potter and his name was Gora Kumhhar. “Kumbhar” means the potter. So how they recognized each other! What love they felt for each other! They were from two different places.In the same way, when the Sahaja Yogis meet each other, from any places whatsoever, they just feel that love, that oneness, that goodness, that belonging. And as they were the great poet, they described it that, “I came to see here the formless God, but here I see him in the form”. ‘Nirguna’ is a formless and the ‘Saguna’ is the form.They beautifully put everything so well. It’s very touching and it gives Me a great hope that whether you are from India or from England or from America or any other Read More …
Puja: The Purity Inside Dr Sanghvi's House, Nashik (India)
Puja in Dr. Sanghve’s Garden, Nasik (India), 17 December 1985. This place Nasik has a special significance. Long time back, say about eight thousands years back, when Shri Rama went away for his exile, he came to Maharashtra and he passed through various places and he settled down in Nasik, this place, with his wife. And here a lady who was actually the sister of Ravana, called Shurpanakha, she tried to entice Shri Rama. Now this quality of enticing men or enticing women are really demonic and that is how people call them ‘rakshasas’. Because those who are demonic people are people who are by nature aggressive, full of ego [and] want to overpower everyone. And they feel quite satisfied if their ego is satisfied. So all the people who were like that, were called as ‘rakshasas’ in this country. It was not a normal human behaviour, according to them. So these rakshasas were more living in the northern part, northernmost part of India and they have different categories as described. So those who run after women were called by some other name and where the women try to dominate them are called by some other name. Where the men try to become like women there’s another name. But they were never called as human beings. They were called as ‘rakshasas’ or ‘vetalas’ and all other names. But nowadays you find such a confusion that you don’t know whom to call what! (laughing) But the human beings in those days Read More …
Shri Krishna Puja: Announcement of Vishwa Nirmala Dharma Nashik (India)
Shri Krishna Puja. Nasik (India), 19 January 1985. Yesterday, in the lecture, I gave a new announcement about Sahaja Yoga. But the whole lecture was in Marathi language and before it is translated I would like to tell you what was my announcement. There was a question that, in America and in England, no trust which is not a religion can be registered. Of course, Sahaja Yoga is the religion, no doubt, is the universal religion, is a religion that integrates all the religion, brings all the principles of religions together and shows the – shows the oneness. It integrates all the incarnations. It integrates all the scriptures. It’s a very integrating great religion which we can call as the universal religion and, in Hindi, it is called as Vishwa Dharma. Now to make it more particular, I thought that if you say universal religion then it may not be that particular because like the Buddhist, then we have got people who are called after Christ as Christians and after other people according to the incarnations. So this time the incarnation being Nirmala, I thought we can call it “The Religion which is Universal, in the name of Nirmala.” So to make it short, I thought we can call it “Universal Nirmala Religion”. What do you say to that? Now Nirmala, you’ll be all called as ‘Nirmalites’. Is the one who have been enlightened by Nirmala, it goes, light shabda (word) goes, the word light goes very well with you Read More …

Shri Ganesha Puja and Havan Nashik (India)
Shri Ganesha Puja. Nasik, (India), 18 January 1983. Please be seated …. (May God bless you …. It’s all right) …. [Marathi] Shri Ganesha Puja. Nasik (India), 18 January 1983. It is such a fortunate day today that we should come on the birth of Shri Ganesha⎯today is Vinayak Chaturthi, today—that we should celebrate this puja. Also, it is so fortunate to have people like Dr. Sangavi, his wife, and his son, his daughter-in-law, who are so much dedicated to Sahaja Yoga. In 1972 I had visited Pune – Nasik, and we had a big session here. People from all over came; we got a lot of Sahaja Yogis here. Raulbai is one of them. But the people of Nasik did not come forward much to do Sahaja Yoga. And, sort of, we didn’t find any footing place here, so we gave up coming to Nasik. And today after so many days, now I’m back here. And it’s so surprising how we have been able to manage. So many people yesterday – they are saying about ten thousand people were present – and at least I would say that ninety percent people got realization. At least. Now, I have to say that the quality of people is very important. And in Maharashtra, you must understand that there’s a quality. These people have a special quality of purity, I think, that invariably I’ve seen the amount of working that takes place in Maharashtra doesn’t take place in other places. Perhaps the Read More …
