The Significance of Puja Sausalito, San Francisco (United States)

The Significance of Puja, San Francisco, United States, 29-09-1983 Today I just thought that there are quite a lot of people who have come for the first time. And I should tell them about the significance of Puja. Because, as the western style of life is, that they’re meant to be like this. To seek something outside, to go outside, find out new ways and methods to grow outside. Now this is the knowledge of your roots. Knowledge, through which you receive your nourishment, is not known to you before. This knowledge was not known to you before and was not deliberately told because you are supposed to grow outside. Now when you have to go inside then you have to understand the divine laws and divine methods, how it works out. The Puja has a significance from ancient times, the saints described them. Because in India, the whole climate is such that you can live under a tree, live in a forest no problem, you can eat fruits and very happily you could be in a forest. There is no need to have bed or anything; it is so warm and nice, and then always enjoy the bliss of a forest. And thus many people went into the forest and started thinking, looking at whole world from that solitude, what is the problem with human being? Why are we here? What should we do? What is the purpose of this human life? Why God has given us this beautiful Read More …

AUM San Francisco (United States)

1983-0929 Public Program, AUM, San Francisco, USA It’s such a great pleasure to come back to this place again after ten years. Doctor Chaudary was a tremendous, enthusiastic seeker of Truth and he saw the point of Sahaja Yoga very clearly. That was not the time to talk of many things as the people were already lured to some things that were to be discovered as false and fake. So I left it at that point and I thought when they would find out the futility of such wrong type of seeking, I’ll and have to go again. Before that it may not be anything fruitful. Today as Yogi has asked me to speak about Om, I would like to tell you about the great word called Om, what it is, what it represents and how it came into being. In the beginning I have to tell you that whatever I’m telling you is a hypothesis for you. You should not accept me as the last word, but as a scientific mind, you take everything with open-mindedness. You should keep yourself open and see for yourself what I’m telling you and then, later on, if it can be proved, then you have to accept it as a law or the Divine law. Om is a word that people don’t understand because it is at the very beginning of this creation that the energy of God, energy of His Love separated from His identity. He pushed Her, called it as Lasik, Read More …

The Blessing of Modern Times San Francisco (United States)

1983-0928 Public Program Day 1, The Blessing of Modern Times, San Francisco (USA) I bow to all the seekers of Truth. For a mother, the greatest moment is that when she sees her children get all her qualities, all her wealth and all her power. There’s nothing more she wants. I’m so proud of Yogi that he has so steadily worked it out for so many great souls that have been seeking. As he says that seeking can be very much misleading if you do not know what you are seeking. But you’ll be amazed that those people who are also misled, have done all kinds of mistakes, have gone wrong, have taken to lives which can only be ended. They also, today, are to be saved. And they all can be saved. God’s love is abounding, is so great that I’m, Myself, surprised at its operation. The way it has forgiven. The forgiveness is so intense, the love so sweet and delicate, and the way it works out, the beautiful correction which you also do not feel how you are corrected, is such a blessing of these modern times. It was never so easy before and thus I have to just say that you are very fortunate seekers. Formerly the seekers had to go to Himalayas to cut themself off from the whole world, live with very strict gurus who would first beat them nicely to see if they were healthy enough; and then they would starve them to Read More …
