Public Program (Morning) New Delhi (India)
MORNING PUBLIC PROGRAM IN SCOUT CAMP NEW DELHI 22.3.1993 [Hindi to English translation] I am told lots of new people have arrived. Please raise your hands. As I told you, it is a subtle knowledge and to know it you have to become subtle. Do you all understand English? New people don’t know? Shall I tell in Hindi? Ok. Sit down. Knowledge of Sahaja Yoga is a subtle knowledge and to achieve this subtle knowledge, we must also be subtle. And what is this subtleness (sukshmata)? That we should be like Spirit – I have told you in my lectures. We have to be like Spirit. And from this Spirit only, we can understand this subtle knowledge. Because the Spirit has its own light. And when that light appears on us, in the light of that Spirit only, we can know this subtle knowledge. This Spirit is inside us. This reflection of God is inside us like Spirit. And this Kundalini which is the power, will power of the Divine, Adishakti, is its reflection. So when Kundalini rises, which is in three and half coil, Coil is called Kundal. Hence its name is Kundalini and this three and half coils does not rise fully. Just like there are lot of threads tied in a rope, similarly in this Kundalini also there are lot of strands. Some of these strands rise, like it happened the other day, and penetrates your Fontanelle bone area, which is called Talu, in Sanskrit it is Read More …
Birthday Puja: Satya Yuga New Delhi (India)
Puja for the 70° Birthday, New Delhi (India), 21 March 1993. It is very difficult to speak even for Me. To see so many Sahaja Yogis sitting here with such shining faces from all over the world – as if My vision has taken its form today. I see in you the saviours of tomorrow who are going to save this world from all the Kali Yuga calamities that are surrounding us. It is coming from all sides, while you people have really taken your second birth from this pond of Kali Yuga and have really become beautiful lotuses of different colours, hues, fragrance and beauty. Instead of you celebrating My birthday, it is better I celebrate your birthdays! [Applause] As I told you the other day, that it is you who are such great seekers, seekers of truth, of love, that it could work out; otherwise it would have been impossible. To even transform one person is very difficult, but you were so sensitive and so deep that this subtle knowledge, I don’t know how it penetrated your being. It’s unbelievable. I can’t believe Myself what great people have taken birth in this Kali Yuga. No one can believe that there are so many saints sitting before Me, so many Ways, so many Nalis are sitting before Me. In the history of spirituality, it has never happened. Even in the heavens there are few devatas and devas – not so many – one better than the other. Such beautiful heart, such brilliant brains, and such active attention. Read More …
Visit to Dargah Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah Hazrat Nizamuddin, New Delhi (India)
H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi visits the shrine of the Sufi saint, Nizamuddin, in Delhi, India. (1993-0320). Shri Mataji: We worship Mohammad Sahib, you do not do puja but we do puja to Mohammad Sahib Muslim priest: Wah (wow) Shri Mataji: We do (worship) Ali, Mohammad and all other great souls. We worship and believe them all. We worship them, we believe them all. Also Rama, Shri Krishna, Isa Masiah (Jesus) Mahavir, Buddha. They (referring to yogis) worship and pray all because they have understood that all are flowers of the same tree. All these flowers (referring to incarnations and saints) have come from one tree only, but we pluck these flowers and then now are fighting for these dead flowers. The flowers that are alive that is what we need I know of. Let us see now we have Hindus, Muslims, Jew (talks to the priest) the doctor that said he is a Jew, these are people (yogis) from all countries, there are Japanese, and from all countries from 56 countries. In Russia we have such people in thousands. Now they (yogis) all have become Sufis. Until this does not happen there cannot be harmony and peace and we will not get any peace or happiness. This hatred is not going to benefit anyone, whether be a Muslim or a Hindu. Everything else is useless Priest: yes, that is true Shri Mataji: And this is what we are doing. Now only few have come here, only few chosen group have come here. Otherwise in each Read More …
Birthday Felicitations New Delhi (India)
Shri Mataji’s Birthday Puja Seminar, Opening Address. Delhi (India), 20 March 1993. After listening to all these beautiful reports about Sahaja Yoga, I Myself start wondering how it has worked out so well and what must have happened that in those days of Kali Yuga it has not only worked out, but it is tangible. Scientifically, we can prove it. Of course, the health of a person is the most important thing and that has is to be brought to a normal condition is the basic of kundalini awakening. But still, the way it has spread, the way it has worked out is more the credit to you than to Me. Because these are special times, as blossom times and so many of you who were seekers before, seeking truth all over, going to Himalayas, standing on your heads, fasting, doing all kinds of renunciations, everything, now have taken birth and are normal people, householders. This was all promised that such thing will happen. Only with such people Sahaja Yoga will work out. So, I would say, whole thing is a plan which has worked out. You all took your birth at this special moment. Even if you see the position of stars and all that you can see clearly how everything has clicked together. It all a divine plan, but, in your case, it is your own decision because we are human beings and you have been given freedom to choose. It’s your own decision to take to Sahaja Read More …

In today’s environment we all know that we need something that gives us balance on a personal level as well as on a collective level, because of which we all can live peacefully in an environment which is beneficial for each one of us and we attain joy which is our birthright. It’s been a really long time that we have waited for the other person to change. It could be a country or a household, maybe us as an individual, but we all know that we remain the same and never change. Nothing changed; neither the other person changed, nor we changed. So many kugurus took birth on Earth. I have intentionally used the word kuguru. Anyone who cannot give us the Divine will be only called a kuguru. On this I think you will agree with me. Today at this time among ourselves during this 20th century, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi has taken Her birth, and if Read More …

Public Program Day 1 New Delhi (India)
Public Program Day 1 23.3.1992 I bow to all the seekers of Truth. We have to accept that till now we have not got the truth, i.e absolute truth we have not got. If we accept most humbly that we have not achieved that absolute truth, which is established in the same way, same thoughts and same emotions inside everyone. Whatever be the reason for this, we can see that later but if we think about ourselves, then human beings have not achieved the status yet that they can know only absolute truth. If he had known about the truth, then today so many types of quarrels, so many conflicts and so many different types of opinion and systems would not have started. If everyone had followed the same thing, because we do not know the absolute truth, just like in blindness, six blind people had gone to look for an elephant, and in their blindness, they all understood in six different ways, just like that we do not know the truth, the reality. And that is why all these disasters are there. Just like there are so many questions in front of us and everyone thinks there is no solution to this. Like today we have environment problem, ecological problem is there, political problem is there, economic problem is there, family problems are there and we have our own personal problems. Physical, mental, material and also spiritual problems are there. For everything there is a question. Life has become Read More …
Birthday Felicitations Siri Fort Auditorium, New Delhi (India)
Birthday Felicitation Program. Siri Fort Auditorium, Delhi (India), 22 March 1992. I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset, we have to know that truth is what it is. We cannot change it; we cannot conceptualize it. We have to know it. Unfortunately, at this human awareness level, we cannot know the truth. We have to become the Spirit. Whatever I am telling you today need not be accepted, no need to have blind faith because all of them have praised Sahaja Yoga so much. But keep your mind open like scientist and I have put before you this hypothesis, and if it works, as honest people you have to accept it because it is for your benevolence and it is for the benevolence of the whole world. I am so very joyous to see these flowers from all the countries where I have so many children. It fills my heart to see the harmony between these flowers, the way they are so harmonious. We have people from all kinds of races, all kinds of religions, all kinds of nationalities, all kinds of political systems – but there is such a beautiful brotherhood and sisterhood among them. Without any effort, it has been achieved – automatically. They have become so beautiful because there is between ourselves and the reality a very little distance. If we can cover that distance and if we could absorb the reality, then you’ll be amazed how you are so fantastic, so Read More …
Birthday Puja: You can absorb the essence of all the religions New Delhi (India)
Birthday Puja. Delhi, India. 21 March 1992. Translation from Hindi You people have celebrated this birthday, with so much love and affection, that I do not understand what to say. It is true that you all have got self-realization in Sahaja Yoga, and I might have told you about this, but the energy is yours alone. Your energy got awakened, and you achieved it due to your own energy. So, I don’t think there are many contributions from my side. You have to think one more thing that I am, whatever I am, there was no need for me to become anything, but It is your specialty that you all became something special. You received and achieved something which was your own. It is such a great thing, that you got enlightened by your own spirit. Earlier, it was told that only the Masters got enlightened, but today all the Sahaja Yogis have got enlightened. And also, think that Sahaja Yogis have become such nice people, how honest you all have become. People follow different religions and follow all the rules and regulations religiously, they do fasting, go to the Himalayas, stand upside down, they do different things, but there is no enlightenment of the spirit inside them. That is why, whatever religion they follow, Whatever system they follow, whichever Guru (master) they are with, there is no light within them. For example, you may accept a Guru, but you cannot become like him. You have just accepted him. Like Read More …
Dyan Ki Avashakta, On meditation New Delhi (India)
Need of meditation New Delhi (India), 27 November 1991 Today, I have met you all after a long time and we should all understand about Sahaj yoga. Sahaj yoga has evolved for the benefit of whole world. And you all are its medium. Your responsibilities are too many because you all are its medium. No one else is the medium for it. If we give the vibrations to any tree or to some temple or anywhere else. If we give these vibrations, it won’t be activated, it won’t work out. Only by your determination and your action, it is going to spread. Then, we have to understand that there is only one demerit in Sahaj Yoga. Although, it is Sahaj and you get it very easily. Even if you achieve it in Sahaj way, it is very difficult to sustain it, because we are not living in Himalayas. We are not living in any such place, where there is no other environment except spiritual environment. We are living in every kind of environment and because of that we have many kinds of attributes sticked to us. So, in Sahaj Yoga we have to work out purity within us and to become pure. For example, if any of the channels is there and if it is not all right, as the channel of electricity then electricity cannot travel through it. If it is the water tap and something it struck up inside then the water cannot pass through it, same way Read More …
Birthday Puja New Delhi (India)
Birthday Puja, Delhi, India, 3rd of October, 1991 [Translation from Hindi] You people have expressed a desire to celebrate my birthday. This year my birthday is going to be celebrated three or four times, and every celebration gets added to My age! But your desire is so sweet that I agreed because I can see that it gives you so much joy and happiness. In every situation something new must happen in our lives. As we are Sahaja Yogis who are constantly evolving, we should use every occasion to rise a step higher. In Sahaja Yoga when we look at our own state and situation, as compared to the state and situation in the rest of the country, we feel that we have established heaven on earth in this country of India. This state in which we are deeply immersed, and which we are enjoying, has reached a very high level, and its foundation or basis is very strong. This aadhar or foundation has enabled us to achieve a state of purity, and peace, and joy. This is a state which cannot be felt by others. And everyone is observing this and realising that these are a special kind of people who have found a new way of life. Wherever I travel people tell Me, “I know a person who is a Sahaja Yogi. He is a very good man, and there seems to have been a great improvement in his life. He is fully surrendered, and his business and Read More …

Among you and we have much trouble, there is outcry among the people everywhere. Man has born for a new thing it is necessary to prove it. Man is in search of God. Then, nowadays to discuss God is difficult and to talk about religion. the kalyug tsunami comes, why is it happening? Inside the human there is some unease state. They question a person who is roaming to temple gurudwara about God. What good work has done? What peace he got. People may be in any religion, may be worshipping God in any way but creates sins. What is the work of religion if these sins are not prohibited? In all religions, the great people said search about yourself. If it happens so what is the use of it? You have to know it in a scientific manner. Science does not talk about religion. Science is the religion of carbon. Gold has religion it does not change its quality. Those great people who were born in religions said to know yourself. Nanak Sahib also said you need to know yourself first to know about God. In Kuran also it is said to know rooh the soul. Isha also told you to be born twice. Kavir said how to make understanding when the world is blind. You may be Read More …
Talk and Holi Celebrations New Delhi (India)
Holi Celebrations Talk, Delhi, 28.02.1991 Translation from Hindi: Sahaja Yogi: Shri Mataji, all of us welcome You on this auspicious occasion. It is our privilege that Shri Mataji, whenever we have desired, desired from our heart, you have always come among us. It has been written in the scriptures that whatever a devotee asks for, God gives that. Whenever we have asked something from Shri Mataji, we have always got it. The reality is that Shri Mataji, we are stupid people. Whatever we ask, You give us more than that. We don’t know what to ask from You. You have given us so much love, You have given us everything. Whatever we could think of You have given us Shri Mataji. We express our heartfelt gratitude to You. And we pray that You please guide us from time to time. Shri Mataji: You all know the history and also from the scriptures that to burn Holika, the burning of Holi was started. In this for the farmers also, all their work gets over and thinking that we reaped whatever we have sown, sold everything and are comfortable, so we should enjoy the moment. Even before that the starting of Holi, when Holika was burned at that time it started. This was done by Shri Krishna. Because when Shri Rama came into the world, then Shri Rama set boundaries. Through His own life, through His methods, through His examples, through His behavior – so that human beings look towards Maryada Purushottam Read More …
Mahashivaratri Puja New Delhi (India)
Mahashivaratri Puja (Hindi/English). Delhi (India), 9 February 1991. ENGLISH PART BEGINS FROM TIMESTAMP: 00:50:12 Today’s lecture was quite big for all of you who are here, I’m happy that you could all come down for the Shiva Puja and now as they have requested in Europe, also we are going to have a Shiva Puja on the 17th I think in Rome.They have never had a Shiva Puja in the West. And that’s why I have decided that we’ll have two pujas, though it is quite a difficult thing to have Shiva’s puja in such close proximity. Today I have told them how we have got four channels in our heart where Shiva resides,and how we have to introspect ourselves and control our attention, because in Sahaja Yoga there is all freedom to be the way you are, nothing must be sacrificed or to be given up as they were told before, to go to the Himalayas,take out all your clothes and shiver there in the cold and all sorts of things. The body, importance of the body has to be reduced. and for that you have to put your attention inward and try to find joy in everything.To put your attention inside is very easy because you are meditative. Supposing you are going by bullock cart. If a man is used to Rolls Royce he will be all the time complaining what is this nonsense, why I have to go by a bullock cart, horrible, this that…But a child Read More …
4th day of Navaratri and Birthday Puja: Three tricks to progress in Sahaja yoga New Delhi (India)
Today is the 4th day of Navaratri and as you know that the puja of Navaratri has to be celebrated only during the night. To take out the darkness it is very necessary that the nights should be lighted. Today there is also another coincidence that you are celebrating My Birthday. On this day, Gauriji established Shri Ganesha after her marriage. Shri Ganesha is the source of purity. The very first thing in the world which was established was purity so that it spreads all over so that all the living beings, even the human beings, all those who came into this world should be protected by purity and should keep away from impure things. That is why the whole creation was drenched with purity by Gauriji. And only after that the creation came into existence. So it is of utmost importance in our lives that we should place purity at the highest place. But purity does not mean that we clean ourselves, take our bath, or even for the body to keep it alright, but we should clean our hearts. The biggest disorder (enemy) of the heart is anger: It is the biggest sickness. And when a person is angry, his purity is destroyed. Because another name of purity is selfless love: that love which always flows and does not expect anything in return. The satisfaction of this love is that it’s just flowing and when it does not flow it gets suffocated and it gets disturbed. So, purity Read More …

Public Program: Insan ka Pariwartan New Delhi (India)
1989-0308 Public Program Insan ka Pariwartan New Delhi [English translation from Hindi] All those who are seeking the truth, my salutations to you saints. Truth…. what is this, and how it is going to be Sought after, there are many ideologies on this topic. Truth is only one. And that is, you are not this body, mind, ego etc, but you are the spirit. The day when you become a spirit, not by studying, writing, or by discussions, and say that ” I have become a spirit”, but if actualization of this incident takes place within you, and because of the which you attain the form of a spirit, then you can know the absolute truth. Nowadays, in this world we think that this person is good, that person is bad, using our mind. But this is not the absolute truth. Does everyone think the same way? It is not like that. Some say this is good, some say that is good. So, it means that whatever we have known, is not the absolute truth. Only when human beings, start thinking alike, he can say that this is absolute truth. When a person is standing separately in his own freedom, then he, by his ego, and by his conditioning, gets totally influenced that whatever he thinks, he thinks with the point of view, as the saying goes that ” a man wearing a green glass, sees everything green”. That is why Kabir Das Ji has told that ” how do Read More …
Mahashivratri Puja New Delhi (India)
1989-03-06 Shri Shiva Puja Delhi (only 12 minutes – translated from Hindi) First of all, the thing that was created in this universe was Shri Ganesha. But even before Him and also before Adi Shakti, the essence that was present, we can call it as Sadashiva Tattwa – Sadashiva. The power that emerged out of Sadashiva Tattwa was what we call as Adi Shakti. So He is the first thing to exist in this universe, still exists and shall eternally exist. It may be in a dormant state in the beginning…. No creation takes place when it is in its dormant state. But at that time of its awakened state, all kinds of creations take place and then all incarnations come and all types of works are done. Thereafter it goes into the state of sleeping, which we call dormant. So before sleeping into the dormant state, we must step into that awakened state that is the Shiv Tattwa. It is a blessing for an Indian to understand the Shiv Tattwa. Of course, it is different for the people living in India, either Indian or the foreigners, or the foreigners outside who are influenced by the western culture. But most of the simple people living in India believe that this non-destructive power is nothing but our Shiv Tattwa and the rest of it is destructive. Everything is destructive and the temptation to run after these destructive things is not wise. Destructive things are there where they need to be and Read More …

Conversation with doctors about epilepsy New Delhi (India)
Conversation with doctors about epilepsy, New Delhi (India), 4 November 1986. [A Hindi transcript with English portions] Shri Mataji: That is supraconscious. He will be in trouble. Sahaja Yogi: The one on the Left Shri Mataji: Yes, he will face physical problems. Sahaja Yogi: He will trouble others. Shri Mataji: He will scold others. He will be sick and trouble the heck out of other people as well! [She used a strong Hindi idiom] Such is the right-sided. Sahaja Yogi: Shri Mataji, please, tell about epilepsy. Shri Mataji: Epilepsy is left-sided. Epilepsy can happen also by chance but there has to be vulnerability. A vulnerability, supposing a child is born and the mother dies at that time. He’s born or lived under bad circumstances. If your psyche is weak, you become vulnerable for any entity to enter. Then he can’t bear it. Sahaja Yogi: It’s a possession. Shri Mataji: It keeps [fits] coming and going. It’s not a permanent one, a permanent one is a lunatic. [Sahaja Yogi: Plain and simple]. The person cannot tolerate it and falls unconscious. Why? Because of virus. What is virus? Viruses are also some dead vegetable which have gone into our Collective Subconscious. So, that attacks. Sahaja Yogi: So, Mother, they all hide in the Left Swadishthan? Shri Mataji: No, they hide beyond, much beyond. Firstly, you have your present-subconscious, what has happened in your recent past. Then, you have your past-subconscious. Then you have your past-past-subconscious, meaning, your past lives. Post that, we Read More …
You have to have an open mind to understand God’s love Mavalankar Auditorium, New Delhi (India)
Public Program [Starts at 53:42 on video] I bow to all the seekers of truth. Today, in these modern times, we are face to face with lots of complicated problems, lots of shocks that are awaiting us. And then we look back to understand why have we failed. What has gone wrong with all of us? Whatever way the human beings have moved, in whatever direction they have tried to achieve something, the whole thing has recoiled on the whole humanity and has destroyed it. One must stop at this point and witness the reason, the basic reason, what mistake we have committed. We talk of love, we talk of peace, world peace, but the peace is not in your hearts. Peace is not within. You are in a turmoil and how can you bring forth peace all over? If the sea is full of waves which are in a turmoil, how do you expect the boat to be steady? The reason is we are not trying to find out what is wrong with us. But we are all the time trying to find out what is wrong with others. But who is the other? We are all part and parcel of one Great World. God has not created many countries. He never knew about these things. He will be surprised if He visits His world. He will be surprised the way we have divided ourselves into countries countries, countries and from one country to another country, you move like Read More …

Patience is the ocean that you get when you love someone New Delhi (India)
Birthday Public Program, March 29th, 1986, Delhi, India I bow to all the Sahaja Yogis and to all the seekers of truth. After listening to all these beautiful words of My children, Mother cannot know what to say. It is very difficult to express My feelings of complete joy! Keval Anand! First time when I came to Delhi, I met a set of people and I felt it might be an impossible situation in this place, where they have not even heard the word ‘kundalini’. They had heard the word ‘Kundali’. And they asked Me, “Is this the Kundali that we have to see before we get married?” I was really shocked! I said , “Now, this is too much, that I have to talk to them, from the very beginning the meaning of the word Kundalini.” While in the west, the seeking has been so intense, that people went into deeper seeking into books and those who came to me knew about Kundalini. Also they told Me, that most of the seekers have reached the conclusion, it is the Kundalini,which will give us realisation. But today to find so many people, those who have got realisation, not only that, but they are so well equipped, so highly evolved, that I can only bow to them. When we deal with new people the Sahaja Yogis have to understand certain basic things as I understood Myself, when I first came to Delhi. Must know that they do not know a word Read More …

Dharma Ki Avashyakta – Why is Dharma needed (Evening) Sir Shankar Lal Concert Hall, New Delhi (India)
Public Program, Calcutta, India, 23 February 1986 [English translation from Hindi] I bow down to all the seekers of the spirit! What can be even said after listening to today’s heavenly music! Especially Mr. Devdutt Chaudhary and Shri Govind Chakravarti, who accompanied him on the tabla, have provided so much enjoyment to the spirit that without even telling anything, I think the Kundalini has awakened in you. Another thing that should be known in the Sahaja sense is that the Indian music is derived from Omkar. This thing is so right, its fame, its progress is such that in foreign countries those who have never heard any ragadari music, who do not even know what is or how the Hindustani music is made. Whose way of playing and understanding of music is totally different. When such people also receive their self-realization and go deeper, you will be surprised that without knowing any raga, without knowing the rhythm, without any knowledge about this subject, they just get lost into it. And as Chaudhary Sahab played in front of you today, in the same way when he was playing in London, then for hours people got completely immersed into it and became one with the flow of the music. I was surprised to see that they have never known any raga, they have never been interested in such music before, the musical notes have never entered their ears before, today all of a sudden what has happened to them after listening to Read More …
Devi Puja: Sahaj Dharma Kya Hai (What is Sahaj dharma) (Morning) New Delhi (India)
23-February-1986What is Sahaja DharmaDevi PujaNew Delhi, IndiaTalk Language: Hindi, English | Transcript: Draft [Shri Mataji speaks in Hindi] Shri Mataji: In Delhi, Sahaja Yoga is growing with a very great force. And when something starts to grow, it should be remembered that, while it is spreading more, its most precious aspect, its quality, should not go down. If its quality falls, then such spreading out will not gain anything. That is why the quality of Sahaja Yogis should remain good. Now, an appeal has to be made to you about one thing. That, from your perspective, the three things that were asked from God Almighty – those have been granted. One of them is ‘salokhya’ which is, we can see God Almighty. ‘Sanidhya’ – that we can be with God Almighty. Companionship. ‘Samitya’, meaning we can be close to God Almighty. Three things you have attained. And there are many other things happening by which you can understand that, I am, in reality, Bhagwati. Now a photo can come from France, where you can see, there is great light right over My Heart. Standing at the seashore. So, many such things have happened. My photos have appeared over the clouds in the sky. In a variety of such ways, you can prove it. But, I have given you one more thing that is greater than all. Which is called ‘tadatyma’. And this is the most difficult thing. For Me also and through which this work has taken place. Tadatmya means Read More …
Public Program Day 2: Dharm Acharan Sir Shankar Lal Concert Hall, New Delhi (India)
Public Program Day 2, Dharm Acharan, Delhi, India, 22.02.1986 Translation from Hindi: Yesterday, I told you, when devotion and deed unite together, you start behaving in the same manner as the one to whom you are devoted to, and you start following the path, shown by him, and then the actual religion is awakened within you, the religion is established in you. There are many people, who follow others but they do not have devotion towards them, and there are many others, who have the devotion but do not follow their manners. For example, I have seen that there are many people who get the feeling that ” we should do social service. We should serve people”. But, when you serve people, it is very surprising that involuntarily you develop the feeling of ego. As an example, you would have seen that the people from the missionary, when they try to spread their religion, they forget that they themselves are not in the Path of Jesus Christ. Many times, Jesus Christ must have told that first of all you have to be resurrected. You consider yourself blind until and unless the spirit is awakened within you. In spite of being told in different ways, these people are in imaginary illusion (bhramak kalpana) that they are doing the work of the missionary. And by serving the poor, or by treating few patients they think that they are serving the God. This is not the service of supreme Being. This is the Read More …
Public Program Day 1: Bhakti aur Karma Sir Shankar Lal Concert Hall, New Delhi (India)
Public Program Day 1, “Bhakti Aur Karma”, Delhi, India, 21-02-1986 I bow down to all seekers of truth in Delhi. Today’s questions which have come before me, have been written with a lot of interest, curiosity, intent and intelligence as is apparent in the Bhautic (material) world. As it has been mentioned there were already a number of Avatars (incarnations) which have come on this earth and people ask why this seeking was not done before? Now how do I know? You can call and ask them. Is this a question to be asked? If someone is doing this work then it should be thought that a very important work is being done and that it is a very good thing. If it was not done previously, it is fine. Earlier, a lot of work has been done, which has taken a lot of time because of its intensity. When a tree grows, it has different phases – the phase that is currently going on, I had told you yesterday that this is the time of Spring. Many people are going to reap the benefits in this life. You are now getting the fruits of all your good deeds of previous lives in the form of your self-realisation as a blessing. This has been written since times immemorial and you are all learned people. If you read the story of Nal and Damayanti which was written thousands of years back. When Nal one day encountered Kali, he caught his leg Read More …
The Essence of Gita Sir Shankar Lal Concert Hall, New Delhi (India)
Public Talk in Shankar Lal Hall, Delhi (India), 20 February 1986. I bow to all the seekers of Truth. I am very happy that this book is now published and a subtler side, a deeper dimension of ‘Gita’ is being brought, to the readers. As Krishna was a great diplomat and understood that human beings are very clever and they cannot accept truth in a straightforward manner. He, in His advice to Arjuna used His diplomacy and the essence of His diplomacy is always specially of the defined, Divine Diplomacy which He used that give absurd conditions and solutions to such difficult people who are so proud of their limited intellect. That’s a difference between a father and a mother I should say. As we say in Hindi ‘Sidhe Haath ghee na nikle tho tedhii ungli karni pardti hai’ [Meaning: when we can’t take out ghee with straight finger, we have to bend our finger. Famous proverb implying that when we can’t get a work done in a straight way, we need to bend our ways.]. The first and foremost thing we have to understand that Shri Krishna is a Divine incarnation and He came at a time where we needed to understand what is the essence of dharma. For example I have been quite surprised the way people explain Him as far as the hinsa is concerned. That Shri Krishna preached ahinsa to such an extent that we have to look after all the mosquitoes of Delhi. Such absurd Read More …
Talk to Sahaja Yogis: Learn to love yourself New Delhi (India)
Talk to Sahaja Yogis: Learn to love yourself, Hindi, New Delhi, India, 16 February 1986 [Translation from Hindi to English] Bhajans Time: 16:31 mins Speech starts Seeing your heartfelt welcome, I feel overwhelmed. Among Delhiites, as much as the love increases, that much the way to well-being will increase. The people who are indifferent towards love cannot grow in Sahaja Yoga. The amount of love we can give to others you can’t even imagine. Because the ocean of love lives in us. Till now we haven’t even had a glimpse of the steepness of love. God has made us, He has made us in love. The Chaitanya [vibrations] you know of and the Brahma [the All Pervading Power] you feel – this Brahma [All Pervading Power] is also His love. Only love is the truth. When a man loves someone, or when a women loves a child or loves her husband – she will know everything about them. Still it is knowing outwardly. When you know about someone based on their vibrations, then you come to know everything about them, at once. This you yourself have experienced in reality. You know that on your fingers you can understand the vibrations, you can know yourself and you can know of others. But till now we haven’t yet got the faith that this Chaitanya [vibrations] is love. It is the love of God. It is the Power of love. We often relate Power with destruction, we relate it to someone’s jealousy. But Read More …
Birthday Puja New Delhi (India)
Birthday Puja, Sahaj Temple, New Delhi, 26/3/1985, translation from Hindi [English translation from Hindi] Today, you are all celebrating my birthday. This is a matter of great satisfaction as in this time of Kaliyuga, who celebrates the birthday of a mother? This shows that even though you are born in this Kaliyuga, you don’t just know about your duty towards the mother (Matru Dharma), but you also follow it. To celebrate birthdays in this age, a year is getting deducted every year and there are so many tasks still to be done. I can see many incomplete tasks. We will have to work hard and pay attention to them. Only then can they be completed fully. Like I said yesterday, in Delhi, we should pay attention to our culture. We should sort out our cultural state. The third very important thing is our spiritual ascent. We should pay attention to it like a martyr who is ready to sacrifice his life for his cause. We should have the same fervour for Sahaja Yoga. Until we have this sentiment in us, Sahaja Yoga is going to be only for our benefit. I keep hearing about the happiness and benefits people have got from it. Whatever we have benefited from it, whatever good has happened, is only because of one reason – that you have found your spirit. But when the light has come in you, you have become the lamp, then you can’t hide the lamp. You should bring your lamp Read More …
Chaitra Navaratri Puja New Delhi (India)
1985-03-25 Chaitra Navaratri Puja, Delhi [English Translation from Hindi] I wish you on this auspicious day of Navratri. There is no doubt that the उत्कण्ठा , love and respect you people have for Sahaj is appreciable, because we find that the our heritage in North India are somewhat lost. Our past has been lost to a great extent and after independence after 300 years of slavery, we are entangled in our new environment which is intriguing but destructive too. As if we have been uprooted from our basic elements. These elements were never nurtured that is true but we also were interested in superficial things.The North had been a kind of curse on India. I think that the way Washerman behaved with Sitaji (Devi Sita of Ramayan) the rule of washer man have started in Uttar Pradesh. When you travel across Uttar Pradesh, it is sad to see that people have become superficial, incomplete, without faith, without respects etc that it does not appear that Sahaj can flourish there. Secondly, it is seen that everywhere be it Punjab, Bihar we call ourselves hindu or Indians but we are unaware of our culture/heritage.We do not know our roots? On which root we are standing steady? We cannot prosper by seeding the roots of others in ourselves. And our roots are so very important that the roots of entire world will evolve and exalt from it. But the man here is in strange environment he is on never side, and when I Read More …
Mahashivaratri Puja New Delhi (India)
Mahashivaratri Puja Date: 17th February 1985 Place Delhi Туре Puja Speech Language Hindi On this auspicious occasion of Shivaratri, we have gathered, and it’s significant that every time Shivaratri happens, I’m usually in Delhi. The most important thing in all our bodies, minds, intellects, egos, and everything else is the soul, and everything else depends on it externally. In the soul, we see the reflection of our Father, the Lord. Yesterday, I told you about the soul. That same soul is of the form of Shiva. Shiva signifies that which does not change, that which does not manifest that which remains fully integrated in its own place, which is described as immovable, unbroken, infinite. Today, we are worshiping that Shiva within ourselves. He is reflected within us. Through the awakening of Kundalini, we have come to know Him, and the more His light shines, the more illuminated our consciousness becomes. But it is very necessary to pay attention to this Shiva. To be completely open towards Shiva, to be fully taken in His direction. It is essential for us to understand what preparation is required for Him. Just like you put a flame in a lamp, but if the lamp is not capable of containing that flame within itself, then all is in vain, all the effort will be futile. If something comes within us that we cannot bear, then we will be the ones at fault. We are still very inexperienced about this that its brilliance, its beauty, affects Read More …
Public Program Day 5, Sahasrar, Atma New Delhi (India)
ATMA – DAY 5 DELHI 16.2.1985 I bow to all the seekers of truth. Today’s melodious music program is very much associated with today’s topic for which I thank Debu Choudhury. All the arrangements happen spontaneously and in today’s music the play of 12 sounds you witnessed, that same beautiful music can be created inside us. The eight chakras of Kundalini you are seeing here, which is Mooladhara Chakra, Mooladhara, Swadishthan, Nabhi, Heart, Vishuddhi, Agnya and Sahasrara. Apart from this, there are Sun and Moon Chakras also inside us. Like this there are three more chakras which start working after the piercing of fontanelle bone area, which we call Ardha Bindu, Bindu and Valay. All these are vowels (sounds) inside us. Like if we start from Sa, then seven vowels, Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni, Ni ends in Sahasrara. Like this, there are planets also which give energy to these chakras. For example, in Mooladhara Mars, Swadishthan Mercury, in Nabhi Jupiter, in Heart Chakra Venus, in Vishuddhi Saturn, in Agnya Sun and in Sahasrara Moon (Monday), which is Shiva’s or Devi’s, Adishakti’s abode. Like this, our nine planets also reside in these chakras. It means whatever OMKAR is manifested from Shri Ganesh, all these integrate completely in one Sound and one rhythm for music which God has created inside us. To penetrate this only Kundalini starts working. When Kundalini starts rising and penetrates all these chakras and reaches the Fontanelle bone area, from its ascent, lot of Read More …
We have to talk about the darkness which is within us New Delhi (India)
Public Program, “We have to talk about the darkness within us” 15.2.1985 New Delhi [Part 1- Introduction by Dr. Talwar] In my Introduction, first I have to introduce myself. My name is Dr. Talwar. I am an obstetrician gynecologist, a practitioner in the field of modern medicine, who thought no end of his own intelligence because I have studied a subject which most of you in this hall have not have the privilege to do so. Carrying this as my base I always thought I was the last one not only in the field of my own subject but anything which is called as intelligent talk. As time passed, and as I grew, I found, that the seeking within, was something different than just feeling important, feeling intelligent, and making the others all the time trying to make them understand that I am intelligent. What I am sharing with you, I am sure each one of us has experiences of similar nature. The more highly educated we are, the more we are caught in this particular chakra. I am talking of a chakra which is, well not exactly the chakra which Shri Mataji talks about. But one of them as Mataji says the Agnya Chakra. She will talk to you about it. I am not competent to do so. But as time went and as moving from one to the other school of teaching, I found, that what I sought and that was peace of mind and joy within, I Read More …
