Shri Ganesha Puja on occasion of Shri Ganesha’s Birthday: He is the embodiment of purity House in Pratishthan, Pune (India)
[Hindi to English translation] Talk held in occasion of Shri Ganesha Jayanti. Pratishthan (India), 10 February 2008. Today is a very important day for all of us Sahaja Yogis, because Shri Ganesha was born on this day. We worship Shri Ganesha and you got your awakening because of Him. No matter how much you think of Him, until you know His special qualities, you cannot attain Him. His special quality is that He is the embodiment of purity [shuddha swaroop] and complete Master of the Universe. He is the incarnation of the Supreme, of Brahma. By coming into this world, He has created music [sangeet], rhythm [taal], and notes [sur]. By His Grace only, people become one with music [talleen]. A small boy came into the world and did such great work! He has given so many things to everyone, and even today He is active. No matter how much you worship Shri Ganesha, it is not enough. A lot of people say, “We don’t see Shri Ganesha, even after worshipping Him so much. We do not attain Him.” He is omniscient, omnipresent, and in every matter, but you cannot recognize Him unless you are realized. After your realization, you can recognize what Shri Ganesha is. Shri Ganesha is purity, the pure Spirit. He is the pure Spirit. When He is awakened within us, then we have no more problems. Then we achieve success in each and every task; every understanding gives success. And we find joy in everything we Read More …

Makar Sankranti Puja: In place of anger, there should be forgiveness House in Pratishthan, Pune (India)
Makar Sankranti Puja, translation from Hindi Today is considered to be very important in the Northern part of the earth because the Sun comes from South to the North. This happens on the same day every year. So if we try to see why every year the Sun does the same work, we consider it so important, why we are so happy that the sun comes in the North every year. The thing is that only from the Sun all our work is done. When it is dark and during the night, we are in the sleeping state. But when the sun rises, only after that all our works are carried out. So the thing that affects all the work is the Sun and when it comes to our vicinity, we give it a lot of importance. The biggest thing is that all other festivals are celebrated on the basis of the Moon, but only this festival is celebrated considering the Sun. Also, the people here believe in Surya Narayana and do many rituals on the river Ganges for Surya Narayana, i.e, the Sun. But this is the most important day. So now we have to decide what we shall do on this day, what work to do on this special day. We did Namaskar to the Sun, offered water (arghya) to the Sun and showed all our gratitude towards the Sun. But still what special thing can we do.. especially what Sahaja Yogis can do. Firstly, it is very Read More …
Shivaratri Puja House in Pratishthan, Pune (India)
Shivaratri Puja, Pune, India 28-02-2003 [English translation from Hindi] His biggest Quality is forgiveness. If he doesn’t forgive, then nothing will be spared. He is very forgiving and because of his forgiving nature, we are surviving. ….Such Mahadev we should ask him such qualities as forgiveness, his nature, powers, characters and despite such qualities he is full forgiveness, he takes into consideration that we are humans and he forgives. We should learn that. We cling to small petty things and fight. This is not Mahadev’s puja, if you follow him then forgive everyone. Everyone one has some faults instead of looking at their faults look at your own. There was time when there were many forgiving people but now don’t know people get angry easily and are non-forgiving and they are not ashamed of it. But if you worship Shiv and take him as your Guru then you have to be forgiving. He has such powers that he can destroy anyone yet he so forgiving. Many people worship him to seek forgiveness “ Oh! God Forgive us” but he is all-forgiving. His forgiveness has magnanimity. Those who cannot forgive cannot be Sahaj yogis.The proof of a Sahaj Yogi is in forgiveness from inside from heart, he does not calculate what wrong has been done to him. Forgiveness is like ocean and to take that ocean inside oneself then only Mahadev will be established inside us. But I see that we get angry first not forgiveness. If you do not know Read More …
Evening Talk: Support the Art House in Pratishthan, Pune (India)
Conversation with Sahaja Yogis, support the art, Pratisthan, Pune, Maharashtra, India. (1991-1214). But compared to Western countries it’s so cheap here, I tell you. See the workmanship of it and really, it’s important thing. These great saris when you see the drape is so well done [UNCLEAR]. They may come in India, might be the ticket cheap. But the variation can make it even cheaper, much cheaper for me now with the variation. Last year it was 30 rupees I think or something less – 28 rupees. Now it is paying 48 rupees per a pound. a Sahaja Yogi: It was 23 in March, Shri Mataji. Hmm? Where? Per pound? Forty-eight. March it was 23? Really? What a take. Twenty-three it was, eh? But it doesn’t help in the country because they can shoot up the prices, you see. But the average people, they are not having foreign exchange with them, so they put up everything. I don’t know why. With the variation everything they have raised, I mean, eating, temples and all this. See, it’s very impressive. There may be something but …. At least what I always feel that the art should not die, whatever it is – would it be the variation, in-variation, whatever it is – but it should not kill the art of the country. But sometimes it does. India is so full of art, such a lot of things. But if they get very hard on them, they may just give up and they Read More …

So now tell Me what should we do? you also come and sit in the front (Marathi) A Yogi: (Marathi) the good dramas which are now closed due to lack of the audience. The dramas which are our cultural heritage, few of them are showing Sahaja culture that day You were also saying this, we should show such dramas, convince the people, we should buy the tickets and then force the people sit and watch them. Shri Mataji: (In Marathi) so what happened the day before yesterday we went to see a drama. (English) I went to see a very wonderful drama which is of an international level such a great drama it was, `RAMA WANI PATHWILA`. And there were hardly 20-30 people to watch that.
