Find out the essence of every religion Auckland Town Hall, Auckland (New Zealand)

AuthorLeave a comment

Public Program. Auckland Town Hall (New Zealand). 11 April 1994. I bow to all the seekers of truth.At the very outset, I have to tell you that truth is what it is. You cannot describe it, you cannot conceptualise it, you cannot purchase it. It has been, it is and it will be. Now whatever I am going to tell you today please do not believe me blindfolded. We have had lots of problems with blind faith. But accept it as scientists with an open mind and heart like a hypothesis and if it is proved then you must accept if you are honest because it is for the benevolence of your being, for the benevolence of your society, of your cities, of your countries and of the whole world. So the truth is that you are not this body, this mind, these conditionings, these egos but you are the pure spirit. Another truth is that there is a subtle, very powerful, very dynamic all-pervading power of divine love that does all the living work. Your country is full of beautiful flowers. We see them but we take them for granted. They are definitely a miracle. How does it work? We never even think. Who runs our heart? We don’t even ask the question, we are not bothered about anything that is [a] living process. If you ask the doctors [they say] it is the autonomous nervous system. But who is this “auto”? We never question why are we on Read More …

Shri Mahamaya Puja: We Are All In Her Body Auckland (New Zealand)

AuthorLeave a comment

Shri Mahamaya Puja, Auckland (New Zealand), 10 April 1994. Today is the first day, New Year’s Day, according to the Shalivahana Calendar, who were My forefathers. And in the whole of Maharashtra, it is regarded as the New Year Day and the best day to start anything. So today I’ve decided to have Mahamaya Puja.I have never talked about Mahamaya, as it is not to be talked or told – it’s a secret, as they say. It’s the basic of Sahaja Yoga, I should say, because it’s described, when the Goddess comes in the Sahasrara, the Shakti, She is Mahamaya – “Sahasrare Mahamaya,” already described. She has to be the Mahamaya, means She should camouflage Herself fully. Nobody should be able to know Her as the Goddess, to begin with; and even if they get Realization, they should not reach to the end of it. There are many reasons for that. The first thing [is] the job. The job of Mahamaya was to give Realization. Now, if I had come on a tiger with a sword in My hand, nobody would have stood near Me. You all would have run away from Me. In any other form, if the Goddess had come, She could not have done what She was supposed to do. Moreover, only if She had come as the Mother of Christ, or Shri Sitaji, or you can say Fatimabi – they all ended their lives. They had to go away from this world so early, I mean. Read More …

What is it? Don’t take out. The frock will (..unclear) Shri Mataji takes off the badge and gives it to the child’s mother, saying something about the child….. (unclear). Brian, the New Zealand leader, comes to speak to Shri Mataji: Brian:  Shri Mataji, the point that we were discussing this morning, we discovered here, that is the section which is quoted. Shri Mataji and Brian read  Christ’s words as reported in the Bible (…unclear) Brian:  Now this is the section:  “ I also tell you that you are Peter and on this rock  I will build My Church and the gates of Hades, the gates of Hell shall not prevail against her” ( Brian: “her” = the Church.) “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven.”  That was what you do on earth, I will make sure it happens in Heaven! Nonsense! “Whatever you allow on earth will be allowed in Heaven”. Shri Mataji: This is nonsense. Brian: This is nonsense. “Then He….” Shri Mataji: You see, how could He say that? Shri Mataji shakes Her head Brian: How could He?  Shri Mataji laughs Brian:  It must be true, Mother, it’s in the Bible! Shri Mataji laughs.  She looks at the passage again Shri Mataji: (unclear…) can you Read More …

Until you know about the chakras you cannot know yourself thumbnail

Until you know about the chakras you cannot know yourself Christchurch (New Zealand)

AuthorLeave a comment

Public Program, Christchurch (New Zealand), 26 February 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 transform it and we cannot know the absolute truth at this human awareness. So we have to become something subtler. As Christ has said you are to be born again. Doesn’t mean we can brand ourselves as born again but is a happening of becoming something else than what you are. And that something else is the Spirit. So whatever we are going to tell you today about this mechanism within you and the way you reveal the truth, you should not accept it with blind faith but as scientists keep your mind open. Take it as a hypothesis. If you think it is all right when you have experimented with it and you have experimented, and whatever I say comes true, then as honest people you have to accept it, because this is for your benevolence, for the benevolence of your country, and the whole universe at large. It is to be understood that we are created as human beings from amoeba to this stage; it’s not the ultimate. If it was there would have been all these problems not created by us. Start from ecology, to political, to economic, to all these problems; are the creation of human beings. So we have missed some point somewhere that’s what we have to find Read More …

Talk After Film (Henry V). Christchurch, New Zealand, 25 February 1992. If they take to modern writers, then they are really horrible and they just very vulgar, extremely vulgar, very superficial. Sadly they are doing Shakespeare like this, [inaudible] be successful. And you see how he has avoided all the pomp and show of the courts and all that, just focusing on them, with the light and  Rembrandt style, too much of… Yogi: Mother, how did You cause the miracle? Would one of them be a realized soul or what? Shri Mataji: He was, he was getting realized you see, evolving. But miracle is caused because it’s a Shiva’s Island, you see. He resides there. But the English never realize, that’s the point is, I don’t know when will they realize. They’re very arrogant, extremely arrogant and think no end of themselves. I don’t know how they do it like that. The more they are helped the worse they become. Now of course, once Europe becomes one, they’ll know what they are. They don’t have any talents, as the other people have, none of the talents. Just in their pride and arrogance, they remained in some sort of a fools’ paradise. Time has come for them to realize where are they. That’s why they are afraid to join European community. In no way(-) They are all mediocres in everything. Everything they do is mediocre.

Talk to Yogis. Christchurch (New Zealand), 25 February 1992. So I am very very happy to come to Christchurch, and this the first time I’m coming here. I am happy there are so many people already who are Sahaja Yogis, and, who are deep seekers. In the beginning we have certain labor pains as they say, and one has to be very, patient with people who are coming. Now after My program there will be many others who will be coming. The other day when I was speaking to them, they’re surprised that we do not charge any money, and they asked a question: ‘Why don’t you charge the money?’ you see, then some Sahaja Yogi answered: ‘That it’s so invaluable that what will you pay for it you see it’s a living process, so how much are you going to pay?’ Then the person kept quiet. So all sorts of questions they will ask you, and, you are not to get disturbed by that or angry with that. But you must understand that, you are not the same as they are. You have reached a certain height compared to them, and they don’t understand you, like Kabir has said [HINDI] ‘How am I to explain when the whole world is blind’ but not now, not the whole world is not blind quite a lot of them have got now eyes to see the truth.

What is the Absolute Truth? thumbnail

What is the Absolute Truth? Auckland (New Zealand)

AuthorLeave a comment

Public Program. Auckland, New Zealand, 24 February 1992. I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset, we have to know that truth is what it is. You cannot change it. You cannot transform it. And you cannot conceptualize it. Also, unfortunately, at human awareness, you cannot know it. Something has to happen to our awareness as told by all the scriptures that you have to become the Spirit. Unless and until you become the Spirit you cannot know the truth. We see around us the problems of science, how science has not been able to give us the totality of lifestyle which will enrich us, will make us joyous and beautiful. On the contrary, it has created horrible things like hydrogen bomb, oxygen bomb. Also, all kinds of problems of ecology have been developed. Due to the overactivity of our machineries, we have not been able to realize how to balance it and how to make it congenial to human life. The reason for this is very simple, that we have not reached the absolute truth. Absolute means there is the truth which nobody can challenge. Everyone feels the same way. Like you are seeing me wearing a sari here like white colour. So, now all of you can see that with your own eyes. In the same way, the absolute truth is the one that everybody feels the same way. Now what is the truth? The first truth is that there is an All-pervading Power Read More …

Shri Mahasaraswati Puja: A subtler attitude towards creativity thumbnail

Shri Mahasaraswati Puja: A subtler attitude towards creativity Auckland (New Zealand)

AuthorLeave a comment

Shri Mahasaraswati Puja, Auckland (New Zealand), 23 February 1992. I see many more New Zealanders, very happy to see all of you here. Today I thought we should have Mahasaraswati’s Puja. Would be a good idea, Because we did Mahalakshmi, let’s have Mahasaraswati. So, Mahasaraswati Principle is on the right side as you all know. First is the Brahmadeva’s Principle, which is the Saraswati Principle, and then this Mahasaraswati takes you to the principle of Mahabrahmadeva called as Hiranyagarbha. Now this Hiranyagarbha Principle is very important for Sahaja Yogis. First of all, those who think too much or those who create too much without realization, those who express themselves in poetry or in literature or in music, you can say, in paintings, in all kinds of arts; if they are not realized souls, then they go to the left to the extreme or to the right. So for example if there is an artist, if he goes to the right gradually his paintings will become extremely violent expressions. Would be very much showing something very violent and also rather, I would say he would be a man who would be inflexible. He’ll have his own style; he can’t move into another style. He’ll use the same style and he will not get into any other style. Kind of a austere nature he develops in his productions and then when he gets tired of it, then he will take to something you can say like abstract art but without realization the Read More …

1991–0409 – Public Program – New Zealand Can you hear me please? All of you at the back? Its alright.  I bow to all the seekers of Truth. As the very out said we have to know that Truth is what it is. We cannot change it; we cannot organize it; we can conceptualize it and also unfortunately we cannot know it at our human awareness. One has to become the Spirit to know the Truth. When I am talking to you about it, I would request you to have a scientific outlook to keep your mind open and whatever I am telling you today, you have to treat it as a hypothesis and if you find that it works. We have to accept it as honest people because it is for the emancipation of the human beings and for the emancipation of the whole world. He has talked to you about the mechanism that works it out and what happens when you get your self-realization? That is a very important point one should know. When this residual energy Kundalini called in the Triangular bone which is called as ‘Sacrum’. Sacrum means sacred which I think the Greeks knew that it was a sacred bone. Its spontaneously awakened just like a unclear (premune/primula) in a seed awakens when it is embedded in the Mother Earth. It’s a spontaneous happening that is sahaj. Sah means with, ja means born.

Shri Gauri Puja Auckland (New Zealand)

AuthorLeave a comment

Shri Gauri Puja, Auckland (New Zealand), 8 April 1991. Gauri is the mother of Shri Ganesha and She produced Shri Ganesha because She was having a bath, and to protect Her chastity She created Shri Ganesha.In the same way, Kundalini is the Gauri and we have got Ganesha sitting in the Mooladhara Chakra. So we have Mooladhara as the abode of the Gauri, of Kundalini, and the protection of the Kundalini is done by Shri Ganesha. As you know, Shri Ganesha is the deity which is for our innocence. Only Shri Ganesha could be there in that position because as you know the pelvic plexus looks after all the excretory functions, and it is Shri Ganesha only who can really stay there without getting dirty by the surroundings – He is so pure; He is so innocent – while the Kundalini is the virgin, the virgin mother of Shri Ganesha. People have started talking against Mary by saying that there was something wrong, ”How could a virgin get a child?” because we do not understand it is God and in the area of God anything is possible. They’re above all these things and they can create anything and in any way, Ganesha had to be born out of a virgin because He was so pure. So Kundalini has to be supported by Shri Ganesh. If Shri Ganesha is weak, then Kundalini cannot be supported. Shri Ganesha has to support Her in the awakening part first of all. When the Kundalini Read More …

Thinking and How we trigger a cancer thumbnail

Thinking and How we trigger a cancer Auckland (New Zealand)

AuthorLeave a comment

1990-0314  Public Program Day 2, Auckland, New Zealand For example, we work very hard, think too hard, you are right sided; to compensate for it, we take , say, slipping pills or may be drinks, or something like that, just to compensate. We can’t bear it, too much on the right. But that doesn’t give you help, because you swing from one end to another. So, in the center you have to move, and for that, there is a special mechanism within us. As I told you yesterday, you have to have a very scientific outlook, is to keep your mind open. If it works out, you have to accept as honest people. We say we are skeptical. All right, but we can keep ourselves open about it, that, after all, we have not reached the absolute truth. So, if you have to reach that truth, what should happen to us? Maybe this is more known to the people in India, maybe, because of their discoveries in the inner world. But has to be known, even in the West, because, as I told you yesterday, that the tree which has grown so big, has to know his roots. Otherwise there is always a problem, which you don’t know how to face. So, as I have been told you about the roots, now, about the left side and the right side, the two sympathetic nervous system, the left and the right, both of them act separately, which I think doctors do Read More …

A new awareness: collective consciousness thumbnail

A new awareness: collective consciousness Auckland (New Zealand)

Author1 Comment

Public Program Day 1, Auckland 13th March, 1990 I bow to all the seekers of truth. While seeking the truth we have to realise that truth is what it is. We cannot change it, we cannot manipulate it, we cannot conceptualise it but we have to accept [it] as it is.  The truth is to be understood as it is. So whatever he [Brian Bell, who introduced the subtle system before Shri Mataji’s talk] has told you today need not be accepted, you can treat it as a hypothesis but must have a scientific attitude to see for yourself whatever is said is there or not, and if so and if it works out then, as  honest people you have to accept it.  As we see civilisations grow, it is the outward growth, outward growth of a tree but we have not known our roots so far. We have to know our roots, otherwise we are standing all the time at a very precarious point waiting for a shock when the whole world could be destroyed. Now, the making within us is this that we have not yet found out the absolute truth. If we had found out, there would not have been so many opinions, there would not have been so many problems and so many theories and quarrels which lead us nowhere. We talk of communism, it leads us to some sort of a ani (?) of power. We talk of democracy, it leads to some sort of Read More …

Shri Mahalakshmi Puja: It is very difficult to trigger things if there’s no perfect instrument Auckland (New Zealand)

Shri Mahalakshmi Puja in Auckland, New Zealand, 12 March 1990. I’m very happy to be here with you, after such a long time and I missed you all very much. I know you are very far away from the rest of them but you are always in My heart and you shouldn’t worry about the distance. We have to realize that we have entered into a new, a…. This kind of hands you should [HAVE, HAND], not to hang, if you have to sit properly. You have to understand that we have now entered into the Kingdom of God and our culture has to change, our style has to change, our understanding has to change. Unless until we change, nobody’s going to take us seriously. Moreover it’s very difficult to trigger things if there’s no perfect instrument. As you know that I went to Russia second time for the Yoga seminar, where we had people from all over the Eastern Block. That was My idea, to get them there. And they were from every country, about two or three people, only. And very strong, very deep, very understanding. I spoke hardly for 30 minutes and such a miracle, in fifteen minutes I gave them Realization, about ten minutes and five minutes I was just there, and all of them got practically Realization, all of them. Very surprising. And so deeply, when I walked out of the room, they all came after Me. That you don’t see in western countries, that Read More …

Know about our root Auckland (New Zealand)

AuthorLeave a comment

Public program held in Auckland (New Zealand). 16 May 1987. Sahaja Yogi: Collectivity is the essence of this change, this particular time now. I mentioned before that, that in the past, how Realization has been gained individually. Now, this time around, is the possibility of it being gained collectively, through the grace of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. Do you want me to talk anymore, Mother? – Should I talk anymore? Shri Mataji: Yes, please. It’s all right. Sahaja Yogi: I shall talk a little more. What was I talking about? Sahaja Yogi: Come in, sit. Oh yes, I was making a point that, that in the past it has always been a very individual, gaining your Self-realization has always been a very individual exercise. One person would gain, one person who would work very hard usually. But now, they’re saying because we have this particular age, because we are knocking on the door of the age of Aquarius, because we are leaving – thank God – the age of confusion and false teaching behind us, now this could happen collectively, en masse. There is the possibility of gaining Self-realization, gaining this experience, gaining this happening, many people – one time gaining. So, again, coming back to the point I made earlier, there are two things: one, the desire to gain one Self-realization and then, a second desire, which is the desire to establish it and develop it. And I’m sure Shri Mataji will be talking tonight about both those things. Read More …

Our own intellect can destroy us Auckland (New Zealand)

Author1 Comment

Public Program Day 2 I bow to all the seekers of truth. What is truth we do not know. We have our own concept about truth. With our mental projections we think truth is that we are human beings, that we have to live on this earth, look after our children, look after the family, live well and die, that’s all. We do not know the truth is that we are the Spirit. That we have experienced yesterday that you are the Spirit. But we do not know also one other thing – that God has created this universe and created you with very great care and with tremendous love. Truth is love because that’s the fact: that because he loved us so much, he really loved us so much that he created us on this earth and evolved us to this state of a human being. We take him for granted, everything that he has done for us. We have no idea as to how much care he has taken to develop us out of the evolutionary process to this state of a human being which is the epitome of his Creation.  When Eve and Adam made a mistake they really gave a big trouble to the divine because if they had not made a mistake and had confidence and rectitude for the love of God they would have not committed such a mistake – is to know about the knowledge. The knowledge which they wanted to know is Read More …

The reality has to work within ourselves Auckland (New Zealand)

AuthorLeave a comment

Public Programme Day 1, AUCKLAND (New Zealand) 5th March 1985 I bow to all the seekers of truth. This is for the first time I’ve come to New Zealand because there were some people who came down to India and got their self-realization, who said there are many seekers on this island and that I should visit this place. I find there are many seekers, no doubt, but many are misguided, some are embedded in the conditioning of different religions, but some are still very much dissatisfied. I want to know what is the truth. Now if you read any scripture, even Bible if you read, you will find out that Christ has said, “that you are to be born again’. So people give them a certificate, we are born again. You cannot be self-opinionated. You cannot certify yourself that we are born again. It cannot be. If you are born again, then you must have certain powers. Supposing I say, I am the Prime Minister, then I have some powers. In the same way, if you are born again, then there has to be a complete transformation. And this kind of blind understanding, that if you brand yourself as something, you become different, is very outward like changing the clothes. Like some people think, that if they dance, scream and jump they will become heavenly something. If they take out their clothes they will become heavenly. It’s Absurd. I cannot understand, what is happening to the brains of the Read More …
