Adi Shakti Puja: Detachment Residence of Madhukar Dhumal, Rahuri (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

Adi Shakti Puja: Detachment, Rahuri (India), 11 December 1988. Puja has to start at the time when it has to start. I’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting, then I realised that today is a very good time according to the calendar; but it is not in the morning, so it had to be the third day of the moon. And as the moon is changing it’s phases in the day time, we had to wait till it started. I think, all these things have happened, of the theft and everything has happened, perhaps, to delay the Puja up to the point where it should start. So, in Sahaja Yoga we all go beyond time and we don’t have to worry about the timing. Only when it’s a formal function or something, because the people are formal, they don’t understand our styles. So we have to be present there at right time, otherwise we should just allow the time to take its own course and we should move in our own way. Now for our travel and this tour, we have to realise that we are here to achieve a certain amount of height in our detachment. We have to rise into the realm of our state, while the circumstances around us, they’re surrounding us and they should not make us unhappy, or biased, or we should not react to them. On the contrary we should try to rise above that. If there are no events of mishaps, then you Read More …

It’s nice to have here in the night, you can see all the lights and all the beautiful silence around you. If you see know the sky like a….if you can have a look at the sky, is like a …. Now, I must tell you the history of this place, is that here one Rakshasa called Raho was to be killed by the Goddess, and she used a ….to kill him, that Rakshasa. And he in fear, he started screaming loudly and that scream is called as Aradh (?) and that’s-why we call this-place as Aradh. And when I came to this village I told them that “why do you want to remember, remember the scream of a rakshasa. You call it asARarkao. (?) meaning the foreign place of the Goddess, Arvana, the foreign place. So thcv agreed to it and now they have applied for that, and they have passed a regulation that this place should be called as Arvana. As it is something in the name also that this place was all resolute, and this barren, there was no water, people had a bad time, and very funny types of trees started growing here, which had very bio thorns and they were very fatal.

Devi Puja: Attention on Quality Rahuri (India)

1987-1220 Puja: Attention on Quality, Rahuri, India [English translation from Marathi] (Sound cloud – Sahaja Library – 1987-1220 Talk 1 at Rahuri (Marathi)) Does having a namesakes, caste and creed have any meaning? Today I am telling you all plainly that you should not (live on) freebies (“फुकटखोरी”). Sahaja yoga is not for such people who are looking for freebies, if you want freebies, you should take another path. Those who want to stay in Sahaja Yoga have to live with self-esteem (“आत्मसम्मान”) and have to show the world that we are self-respecting people. Why take contributions, means what? Should Shri Mataji pay for you all? I have paid for the food for people in Pune. This kind of begging attitude will not work and such beggars are not required in Sahaja Yoga and those people who cannot (use their hands to) work should leave Sahaja Yoga. Your collective state can never improve because the vibrations flow through your hands. When you use your hands to work only then your collective state will improve. Today you have built a temple, tomorrow you will build something else, there you need to use your hands to build them. How many of you came to Pune to work with me? You need to use your hands to work. You need to use hands for hard work. The big people who have come from UN Agriculture (department) have taken shovel and spades in their hands to do the work, but no one came from Read More …

Then you wont feel the strain, because going back I know what it is to travel. So how was the experience here were you happy— and all the married couples are they happy, you look so nice and so beautiful, now i’ve given quite a big lecture this morning I think and I didn’t talk much about it, but we have to develop personality that’s important. That personality which is of course inside, you are growing very much, but in relationship with that personality, you have to develop a personality which is, dignified, which is impressive, which makes feel, other’s happy, because from you they will judge, if you are frivolous and if you are cheapish type, even because of may be your age whatever it is, still people will start thinking that something wrong with these people.  So, we have to develop personality, a personality which is inside us, is that of your spirit and that is so dignified, so beautiful and so natural, but naturalness never means frivolity or stupidity it doesn’t means that.Naturally a human being, even an animal is sensible thing, so human beings are naturally very sensible, very loving, happy, joyous and good creation of God, but it is not yet known to Sahaja Yogi’s that your personality impresses others much more than your talk about Sahaja Yoga.  Like Dhumal went a office of collector and the way he was talking, the way he was handling, the way he was so natural and so good Read More …

Today is the day where we celebrate the change of the axis of the Sun and that He moves towards the tropic of cancer. Tropic of cancer is the one which represents the motherhood, the motherhood of the earth. This tropic of Cancer has passed through quite a big area of land while the tropic of Capricorn has not. And the area through which it has passed, it has created different beautiful manifestation of the motherhood qualities on this earth. We celebrate this change because the Sun has now moved into the new dimension so that all over the world there will be the warmth of the Sun. Warmth of the Sun represents the warmth of God’s love.

These are the three aspects of God Almighty. And a beautiful temple is built there in ….. near Bombay, I am sure you must have visited that temple. And there these Trimurties are like this (Shri Mataji shows the photo). You see this one clearly as simple as that, you see? But when he took this photograph after ten minutes they took another photograph and they got the Agya Chakra blazing (Shri Mataji shows another photograph). Now, what does that mean? It’s Christ there. Christ is the Mahavishnu, this is the Vishnu aspect and this one on the right and left side is Brahma and Shiva, the centre is the Vishnu. And in the centre of Vishnu’s head, that is Virata’s head, the light came in, this is so clear that Christ tried to endorse what I’ve been telling you all because you are all from the West, you all follow Christ, that Christ wanted you to see for yourself clearly that ‘I reside in the Agya of the Virata.’.

Sankranti Puja (English and Marathi). Rahuri, Maharashtra, India, 14 January 1986. English Transcript – First video Please be sited. Today is a sad day for you people, we’ll be now parting. I may not be able to meet you in Bombay. Maybe for a year this may not happen for some of you, and I would like to give you a little advice about the growth within yourself. It is believed by people that God is helping us and we are in His kingdom. So whatever happens He looks after us. It is true But as you are the instrument of the God you have to also look after yourself. For today’s delay I would like to apologize but the delay comes because from Poona Mr. Kulkarni was to come and see us do this puja. Now I told him- he’s come now- that his wife is a negative lady, and he doesn’t understand his own importance, I would say. As a leader you must understand your importance. And another person who came, he asked, “Why don’t you come with me?” He said, “I have to come with my wife.” And that’s how this delay has taken place because he’s not here. He said he’ll come for puja so the main thing was first to arrive here in time without a negative force pulling him. So we conclude that it is important that first of all we should know that in any way we should not try to have any Read More …

Sahaja Yogi: [Inaudible/probably difference between traditional and ethnic]. Shri Mataji: Traditional would be rather elaborately done, like the French (?), which are city.

Talk about leadership, Rahuri, Maharashtra, India, 22nd January 1985. (English/Marathi) Rahuri is a place where a rakshasa called, demon called Rahu was killed by Goddess. And this is the place where my forefathers reigned as kings, and they had a dynasty also. Now, the other place we went to, Musalwadi, is the place where the Goddess first of all hit him with a beam, so it is called as Musalwadi. It means a beam, ‘musal’ means a ‘beam’. So this is a place where [the] Goddess has done a lot of work. There is another place called Aradgaon where he was running and he was screaming, so it’s called as arad. ‘Arad’ means ‘screaming’ (‘gaon’ means village). So the whole place is already very much vibrated because also the Nathas, the nine Nathas — we saw one Kanifnath there — but all of them lived in this area and worked very hard. The last of all, Sainath, was very near here, as you know, in Shirdi. So this is a very, very holy place and a place of great worship where many a times the Goddess was worshipped. Rahuri itself, if you go round, you’ll find there are nine deities sitting there. These are also created by Mother Earth. They are beautiful things. No one knows about them. You can go and have a look. There are nine of them and these represent the nine incarnations of the Goddess, or nine styles of the Goddess. Now, in this beautiful place Read More …

Puja at Mula Dam, “Achieve the power of Spirit within”. Rahuri (India) 26 February 1984 . [English Transcript] I hope your journey has been comfortable so far and will be comfortable later on, as the source of comfort is your Spirit. And more you see to the comfort of your Spirit the problems of outside comforts drop off. You are not bothered as to where you live, where you sleep, what you eat, what you do. So allow these gross sensitivities to drop down so that the inner, subtler sensitivities grow. That’s why you are here, to get over your time, conditionings…l mean it is a rat-race, and the rat race has to be somehow or other stopped, once and for all, “without”. So here we can do it “without”, and once you start meditating, that “within” can also be achieved and you can achieve that peace which all human beings should have, if we have to save this world from complete destruction. As you must have realized that now the Sahaja Yoga is growing much faster, and is taking a good speed. And we all have to keep ourselves equipped to be able to be part and parcel of this great evolutionary and revolutionary process which is going to stir up the whole world. For that, it is important also to see that we take ourselves to task and don’t get into mediocre living and mediocre thinking. We are people of very great potential. Not only that, but we Read More …

Because they all are my children. Hello everyone! I had a sudden meeting with Dadasaheb once and I realized then that this man really cares for people. He who does not have compassion for others should not become a social leader.  Those who have not done social work should not enter into politics. Those who have done social work, if they come into politics, they will have compassion for the people. But most of the people do social work so that they  come into politics and earn money. I know it all. I have seen the condition of our country since childhood. I am probably the oldest among you all. My father is also very religious, a very high class social worker, national worker and again very friendly, very friendly with Dr. Ambedkar! It was a close friendship. He always visiting to our house.  I know him (Dr. Ambedkar) since childhood.  I used to call him uncle. So the relationship with them is very close. And he was very bright and generous.

Devi Puja, January 26, 1984 Rahuri, Maharashtra, India Shri Mataji : Who forgot the bag to be brought in ? Sahaja Yogi: Magda Shri Mataji: Magda. You should be careful. Talk starts at 2:38 Rahuri has a special significance in the history of the Goddess, that when the horrible rakshasa, called Rahu, started ruling this area and devastating it, the whole suffered, all the God-fearing people. Then the Goddess took Her incarnation here and She killed this man, this rakshasa and there are different places where how he ran, how She caught him and ultimately killed. He was killed in Rahuri. And that’s why rahu-ri – “ri” starts from the Hrim, as you know that: “Aim, Klim, Hrim” are the three words denoting the three powers of the Goddess. “Aim, Hrim and Klim”: Aim, is the Mahakali, Hrim, is the Mahalakshmi and Klim, is the Mahasaraswati. So, with the Hrim-power She killed this rakshasa, and then – after that killing – bhaktas started living here. And a king came all the way from Rajpur, Rajputana, and started worshipping the Goddess. And when he was a poor man, he came here as a poor man, while worshipping the Goddess, he raised this again into another kingdom, and that’s why they are called as Shalivahanas, because they carried the shawl of the Goddess. This Shalivahanas, later on in the dynasty, was a Babruvahan [precedent dynasty of Satavahan, Babruvahan was the father of Shalivahan] who fought Vikramaditya [a famous king] and defeated him, Read More …

Conversation with Sahaja Yogis, Residence of Madhukar Dhumal, Rahuri (India), January 8th, 1983 [Marathi to English translation] All right? So, this is all a confusion in Gita. But whom to tell, you see? You cannot tell them. Because you see they- actually, it’s an attack on religion itself. In the beginning vegetarianism is an attack on religion. When Krishna had a cousin, whose name was Neminath. And he was one of the tirthankaras (ford-maker) of the Jains. But these people used to eat meat. Meat was not regarded as violence or anything. And what happened, that, at this time, they attacked him [the attack came] through this Neminath because he saw many chickens being killed, cattle being killed, and he felt that mentally, he felt compassion, mental compassion for them. And he said, “We should have just ordinary food like carbohydrates”. And then, he told them, “Better have [only] carbohydrates, don’t eat any meat and things”. So, all this mental compassion started from his cousin, that was the first one. But as a result of that, they denounced Shri Krishna because Krishna has some ‘Sanhaar shakti’. And Krishna being a Kshatriya, he used to eat meat. So, they discarded him. So, according to them, Krishna was nothing but a ‘devyoni’. He was nothing higher. These tirthankaras were higher, you see. Actually, they are the same Shambhalastas people. Shambhala Gobi desert. [Shri Mataji is laughing]That type of people. All right. Whatever happened, they discarded Shri Krishna at that time.

Shri Ganesha Puja. Rahuri (India), 7 January 1983. English Talk You have come here to learn something, to go deep into your experiences of the knowledge of your roots. Shri Krishna has said that this is a tree which is upside down: the roots are upwards and the leaves are outwards. In the same way, you know that Kundalini, really, when it rises in the Sahasrara or above Sahasrara, then you start getting the feeling of Kundalini. So one has to understand that when we are now getting subtler and subtler and trying to feel the Kundalini, we should try to get out of a materialistic attitude and materialistic viewpoint and materialistic sticking point. I met one guru before – because you know I went to all of them – and I asked one of them, I said, “Why do you take money, so much money from these people who are Western people? So much, why do you take and just they become beggars, absolutely like beggars they become, because you charge them so much and so heavily?”  And he told Me that, “Unless and until you make them beggars, they will never take to God. They are too rich to be near God.” I mean, this explanation I just could not understand. It was absurd. I could not understand: How can this explanation have any proper meaning, that you should make people beggars and then they’ll be nearer to God?

And it is said that Sun travels with his seven forces, or say, seven colours in a big chariot. And today they celebrate this day as a day when Sun travels with a divine vibrations all over the world, and illumines. So it was too early for anyone of you to do this, so till…I got up very early of course and worked out that part for you. The second important thing which is a combination, which is a very, very auspicious thing – that you get on one day, two dates. One is Ratha Saptami, on that day you cannot do havan because it is the Surya already is there. So the second thing is, [which] today we do, is a very great puja of Ashtami (eighth day): is the day when the Goddess killed nine rakshasas together with Her eight hands. So today is a very special day for which a very special attention is needed. It’s only at the behest of the bhaktas that the Goddess took Her form and killed all these rakshashas.

Conversation, 1982, India …Coming down here to convert people. It’s a question of democracy, you see? Because in a democratic country, if there are more majority of the Muslims or Christians, then will become the, sort of the rulers, you see? So this move is you have to purchase people, convert them, and they are worried about it. I told them Sahaja Yoga is the only way by which people will settle down into themselves.You see, to have such a large majority in this country — (better I have some more, please) — such a large majority, or, I, I should say such a large democracy. And democracy, one has to pay a lot, because such, such influences might infiltrate, see? The Saudi Arabians can come down here and sort of clamp the whole country with their own government, possibility is there.I mean, they can’t do this in Russia or Poland or any place where they sow democracy. Which, without democracy people cannot develop. They cannot develop. Like, if a, say a Russian comes here, he’s not bothered about yoga or anything, never. He’s in, in say, if he’s in Bombay he’ll ask if there’s a discotheque or something. If he comes to the villages he will see how dirty your villages are. He is so inconvenient. He has so many problems, kind of basic. He can never feel the peace. He can never feel the peace because they are not developed, you see. All such undemocratic countries have human Read More …

Shri Mataji: हा, आता सांगायचं म्हणजे TM मध्ये सगळी भूतविद्या स्मशाणविद्या असते. आणि ते काय करतात, कि तुमच्यात हि भूत घालतात, आणि ते भूतं तुम्हाला वेडयासारखी करून टाकतात. अहो, लोकांना इतकं म्हणजे, भीती बसते कि त्यांना जर तुम्ही लसूण दाखवलं तर थरथर थरथर कापतात. लसणाला भितात, म्हणजे भाजीला भितात, म्हणजे काय हे? माणसाला इतकं युजलेस करून टाकलेलंय. इतकंच नव्हे लसणा तरचच तर सोडा, पण त्यांची हि स्थिती आहे कि त्या लोकांना जर तुम्ही एखादा धूप जाळला, किंवा देवाचं नाव घेतलं तर थरथर थरथर होतात. बरं, would you like to say something about TM? Someone? Varey? Someone, what happens with TM? Would you like to say something Marcus? Please tell them, because now they are coming to India and trying to show TM technique, better tell them. आणि उडण्याचे यांचे फोटो घेतले कि, आम्ही उडतोय म्हणून म्हणजे काय करायचं कि अस स्परिंग वर बसवायचं, सांगतात ना, आणि मग म्हणायचं कि आम्ही उडतोय. म्हणजे जसं आपण आता घोडयावर वगैरे बसायचा प्रयत्न केला आणि शिकलो जसं सर्कशीत असतं तसं थोडंसं एक मिनिट वर येतो मनुष्य. त्यांचे फोटो …… यांच्या सगळया मांड्या सगळया घासलेल्या, खाली सगळी हाडं मोडलेली, अशा स्थितीत हे माझ्याकडे आले, विचारा त्यांना. I am telling Read More …

Avahana for the marriage of Catherine and Gregoire Rahuri (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

Avahana on the occasion of the marriage of Catherine and Gregoire, Rahuri, India,  (from Nirmala Yoga, Issue 1, page 1) In Sahaja Yoga, all the religions are respected because all the incarnations and previous prophets are in us. We know it for definite that they exist within us on our Centres. First, before starting the marriage, we had to ask them to come and be present on this function. This is called “avahana” [invitation; invocation]. Now, they were all there. So, we are now to thank them that you have been here and the marriage has been successful. In Sahahaj Yoga, we are going to break all the barriers which make religions and people separate. All fanatical nonsense, old ideas which have propped up to make money out of religion, all these we are going to completely abolish and make one religion for all the humanity, which is religion of God, the religion of our evolution. May God bless you all.

Nirmala Vidya Rahuri (India)

Nirmala Vidya (excerpt), Rahuri (India), 31 December 1980. It is the special power by which we do All Divine work, even forgiving. When you say, “Mother, forgive us “, the technique by which I forgive you is Nirmala Vidya. The technique by which I love you is also Nirmala Vidya. The technique by which all the Mantras are manifesting themselves and are effective is also Nirmala Vidya. ‘Nirmala’ means ‘pure’, ‘Vidya’ means ‘knowledge’. Nirmala Vidya is purest knowledge or the knowledge of this technique. It creates loops, the energy creates loops and creates also different formations by which it acts and [with?]draws all that is unwanted, impure, and fills it up with its power. It is a technique, a divine technique which I may not be able to explain to you fully because your instrument does not do that – you don’t have that instrument. But now you see, how subtle it is. Only by saying, “Nirmala Vidya”, you just invite that power, the whole thing, the whole technique to attend to you and it attends to you. You don’t have to worry. It never happens in any government or anywhere in the world. You just address the Government. and the whole thing goes into work, in the whole the entire universe, every creation. That technique is called Nirmala Vidya. That technique once mastered, by surrendering into it; it completely obeys, absolutely. But it is Ganesh Shakti, the Shakti of Innocence is the power called Innocence. The whole power because Read More …

The Meaning Of Nirmala Rahuri (India)

Author

The Meaning Of Nirmala, 18-01-1980 It is good that all Sahaja Yogis have come together. When we meet like this, we can discuss many things of mutual interest and tell even small details about them to each other how to clean yourself as your Mother’s name itself is Nirmala and it contains many powers. The first word is NIH which means not. Something that actually does not exist but appears to exist, is called Mahamaya (illusion). In fact it is not there but we feel it exists and this is called Mahamaya and the whole world is like that. It is seen but it is not true: if we are trapped into it we feel that it is the only thing we have to live for. Then we feel that economic conditions are unsatisfactory, social and domestic (family) conditions are bad, everything around us is bad and we cannot see anything good.  Water on the sea surface is very dirty and turbid. Many objects are seen floating on it. But if we go deep into the sea there is so much beauty, wealth and power that we forget that on the surface the water is so bad.The point is that everything that you see around is illusion. You must remember first of all it is all nothing. If you have to establish ‘NIH’ you have to tell yourself, whenever a thought comes, say “not this (ya neti neti vachane nigamor avochus) another thought comes, say it is not there. You Read More …

1979-0227 Seminar Dhule , Maharashtra  This is a virtuous land.  The land where yoginis like Raul Ba reside is very venerable to me. Similarly Mr. Dhumal from Rahuri who was giving lecture before us, he has also created a revolution in the villages. There are quite a few Sahaja Yogis who have come along with him from Rahuri. And each one of them is a beautiful Sahaja yogi, chiseled like a diamond.  To understand how knowledgeable they are and how deep their knowledge of the Divine principle is, one must have discussion with them.  Sahaja Yoga means Sahaja, ‘Saha’  means with us and ‘Ja’ means born with. Sahaja Yoga is Maha Yoga (great Yoga). It is born with us.  Just position your hands like this. If you wish to activate Kundalini, then keep your hands like this. Simple. Remove your caps. Also remove black threads if you are wearing them. If you are wearing religious beads in the neck, better to remove them because it obstructs, Kundalini stop there. From time immemorial, people have said that Kundalini   is an institution within us. This has been especially elaborated by Adi Shankaracharya and Markandeya Swami. After that Kabir and Guru Nanak have  also explained and written in detail. Kundalini is our mother and mother is a very holy establishment. Now a dirty person like Freud who had illicit relationship with his mother has created a dirty situation.   That is why in the western world, the extent of damage they have Read More …
