Navaratri Puja (incomplete) Boston (United States)

1983-1015 Navaratri Puja ………[] used are not known to you because he is telling about another side of life. As we are human beings you see all our history is connected to each other. First of all, you have to forget that you are Americans or you are Canadians or you are Indians. You have to know the human history has to be followed as complete as complete human history. And behind the history of spirituality, you have to seek the very ancient countries, and one of them was in India. In India, people tried to find out what was the purpose of our life? Why we came on this earth? The main thing that helped them to do that first of all was that is the country where you can live very easily. There’s no problem with the climate. There’s no problem of the extreme colds and extreme breeze as you have [seen]. It is kind of a climate we seldom have in that country and even if you have it you have it for about two-three months. When you know this is the rainy season when it is going to rain. You have proper seasons. It is very easy to live in India in the forest if you live there’s no problem. You can live with…under a tree. And you don’t have to wear too many clothes or you don’t have to wear a coat like in England you have to spend at least 15 minutes dressing up Read More …

The real seekers will find the real way Old Cambridge Baptist Church, Boston (United States)

1983-1012 Public Program Day 2, Boston, USA I bow to all the seekers of Truth. Definitely it is evident today that you have come here all the way in the rain to seek the Truth, that you are real seekers. And the real seekers will find the real way. Whatever they may do, whatever wrong path they may take, they may identify themselves with wrong things also and may oppose, in the beginning, the Truth. But ultimately they will all find the real path as long as they do not try to deceive themselves.  The awakening of the Kundalini is not a new thing as you people may be thinking. It has been done since sixteenth century back where it is said Indra, the God King, was given realization. So you can imagine, that is called as Siddhendra – means that Indra was made whole here, and there’s a place where it was done in India. It’s a very ancient thing, and at the time of Rama also, there was a fellow called Nachiketa who came to Rama’s father-in-law, Janaka, and asked Him if he could get his Self realization. And the father-in-law said, “You can ask anything but not for your realization.” He said, “No, I don’t want anything else but realization.” And they say that He put him to test many a times for years and then he was the first who got realization at the time of Shri Ram.  It is very interesting that how this system Read More …

The Truth that we are seeking has to be achieved, understood and felt through a very open mind Old Cambridge Baptist Church, Boston (United States)

1983-1011 Public Program, Day 1, Boston, USA I bow to all the seekers of Truth and the Truth that we are seeking has to be achieved, understood and felt through a very open mind. You cannot conceive the Truth with your mental activity, and you cannot form your own ideas and conventions about it. Like a scientist, you have to keep your mind open to achieve it. Moreover it is an evolutionary process, the process by which you have become a human being. And logically, it should follow, that you cannot put in any effort to become the higher personality. You have put in no effort for your evolution so far. Thirdly, you have paid no money to become a human being. God doesn’t understand money. This is created by human beings. God has no sense of money and He doesn’t know also, perhaps, how maddening it is for human beings. So you cannot pay for it. It’s something ridiculous to think that you can pay for your ascent, or to say that you can go into a course of realization, because it is a living process of your evolution – a living process. If we understand the living process, you will understand Sahaja Yoga much better. If you have to sprout a seed, you just put it in the Mother Earth and She sprouts it. How much money do you give Her? She doesn’t understand money. She only knows how to sprout the seed. So when you put the Read More …

Transformation and Awareness Boston (United States)

Public Program Day 1. Boston, Massachusetts (USA), 20 September 1981. It’s such a joyous moment to come to Boston. We had Steve at Bristol who was representative of that category of people who are very honest seekers. And he really impressed me. He got his realization and he was lost. I didn’t know where he had gone. And when I came back from Paris, I received a very nice telegram from him saying that Boston would like to have a program. I knew there were lots of universities here and many young seekers and many people who are thinking of the beyond. It’s a new category of human beings that are born, absolutely a new category. Such a category never existed before, which is seeking. They are not satisfied with what they have. It’s not only the after effects of affluence. Some people feel because affluence came to America, as a result of that, people are sort of dissatisfied with all the material wealth, material things, and they are seeking. It is not the same. This is the time, the special time where people are to be born, this has to be done. You are not seekers of today. You are seekers of many lives. And you’ve been seeking. It’s mentioned in one of the very old Puranas, called as Nalanda Ka Purana, that Kali Yuga is the time when thousands of seekers will be born and they will get their realization. It has been announced by many, many poets Read More …
