Makar Sankranti Puja Rahuri (India)
Sankranti Puja (English/Marathi). Rahuri, Maharashtra (India), 14 January 1986. English Part: Today is a sad day for Me because 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 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 negative forces attacking us or involving us or attaching to us. Read More …
Devi Puja Pune (India)
Devi Puja (Transcriber’s Note: A Sahaja Yogini is singing a bhajan to Shri Mataji.) Shri Mataji: Waa. [UNKNOWN INDIAN WORDS]. I’ll give her. May God bless you. There’s a Sari [UNKNOWN INDIAN WORD]. Shri Mataji speaks in Marathi / Hindi. (Transcriber’s Note: Shri Mataji begins in either Hindi or Marathi. She then speaks in English but it seems that in is not the beginning of a sentence.) Marathi language because Poona is a very, very important; very extremely important place and the people have a special gift of God that they are born here. Punya (sounds like – nugarie OR nagari) is the name. Punya Patanam means the…all the punyas, all the good deeds that they did in their previous lives is poured into this. All the saints have praised this place. In the ancient times, in the ancient books it is written as this is a Punya Patanam – is the place, is the city of punyas. So in such a great place you all have come, you should be very thankful. I’m just addressing to them that you are born in such a great country, in such a great city and you have a special, very special responsibility. And that’s what I was advising them that these foreigners have come. They are also very lucky people to come to this great city of punyas. And by God’s grace I’m sure they will achieve a big ascent in this puja. So let us all decide today not to worry Read More …

Talk to Doctors (India)
Talk to Doctors, Dr. V.M. Medical College. Sholapur (India), 31 January 1984. Our Respected Dean Dr Srivastava, the staff, the members of this medical college and all the seekers of their Love for God, I bow to all. It is such a tremendous joy for me to be able to speak to the people of such noble profession, as medicine. I myself put in some part of my life into the studies of medical science because I knew one day in future I may have to talk to them. I have all respect for that profession. And, in no way Sahaja yoga could be a challenge to this. Though Dr. Thakkar has asked me to speak on that line, because love never challenges. This is the power of love and to talk about power of love, one must understand that it has no power to challenge. Now medical science is like all other sciences, is a science or the knowledge of the tree that is outside that we see. Actually, factually, we can see with these – our senses, whichever are they, gross as they call it. And to know about the tree, one way is to know about the leaves and the branches, but could be that if you have to treat the tree, it would be better to go to the roots than to go to one leaf or to go to one branch because unless and until you know how to go to the roots, you start Read More …
Birthday Puja and Havan Mumbai (India)
Celebration of Shri Mataji’s Birthday. Bombay (India), 30 March 1983. First Bhajan, “Bbhay kaya taya Prabhu Jyachare,” was sung. Shri Mataji remarked, “That was My father’s favorite song”. Many people have always asked me that why God created this Universe. Of course, we are not supposed to ask questions to God. It’s easy to ask questions to Mataji when She is giving a lecture. But God is a person who is beyond questions. And why He created Universe is something like why I wore all these ornaments. As I am not habituated of wearing ornaments, but I have to do it. I have to do it just to please you people, or we can say that God created this earth, just to please His own children, just to make them happy, just to make them enter into the Kingdom of God, to give all that what He has got. So He had to create this creation in such a way that He could create His own image, reflect it and make it enjoy itself. It’s a very mutual appreciation, as we call it, andolan. Whatever He does for us, is for His own pleasures. But the beauty of it is that your pleasure is His pleasure. And the other way round is, His pleasure should be your pleasure, too. Once that becomes the fact that the pleasure of God becomes your pleasure, you enter into that beautiful arena of heavenly joy, swargiya anand. Only if it is one-sided enterprise or Read More …
Talk at Rotary Club (India)
Talk at Rotary Club from 01:15:00 : Q: What should be the relation between state of mind and awakened Kundalini? Will it affect the body or mind? Shri Mataji : Actually it affects everything but let’s see how it worrks? Now, what is ‘mind’ also is not a very clearcut idea. People don’t have a clearcut idea about ‘mind’, you see. To them ‘mind’ means ‘mana’ or ‘buddhi’, or ‘ahamkar’. Now, we will make it clear to you that when the Kriya Shakti [Power of action] works and acts then you create Ahamkara that is Ego, a balloon like thing. And when the Mana Shakti works then you create the Superego in the head. So we have two balloon like things called Ego and Superego. When they meet each other and the calcification takes place that’s how this Fontanelle bone area becomes hard and we become ‘I’, ‘you” and ‘you’. Now, the mind which you are talking, I don’t know which you are talking about – but if you think how the thought comes to us. Let us see the thought process. A thought rises and falls off by itself; another thought rises and falls off by itself. The rising of the thought we can see but not the falling of it. Now a thought comes to us either from the past or from the future and again it disappears in the past. Our attention is jumping on the cusps of these thoughts but in between these future and past Read More …
Puja, on the Republic Day (India)
Republic Day puja, Lonavala, India, 1982-0126 On puja and seers. Shri Mataji: Before that, I know that people think this time, this, but we have to go according to the auspicious time, isn’t it? Because to get maximum effects, so we have to start puja later. I also went for bath afterwards. So this is what it is. One has to understand that when you start the puja is very important. [Shri Mataji talks aside in Marathi] Sahaja Yogi: Presents…. Shri Mataji: Ah!! Seventeen past eleven. I didn’t see this. I didn’t see this book. Sahaja Yogi: This pratipadha is the first day of Navaratri “Maghi Navaratri” we call which is auspicious week. So the first day, it starts at eleven seventeen and ends tomorrow morning eleven thirty three. So we are starting just in time. Shri Mataji: You see if you see a watch, it would be all wrong because that is how I had to go for My bath also after [in Marathi] Sahaja Yogi : [in Marathi] Shri Mataji: I never read this book, you see this, where they described it. I know it is so. So you can tally it also. You see it is easy to see the watch and walk. You see if you give up watch and do it in auspicious time, half of your problems will be solved. [Puja talk starts here] Again it’s a great day. It’s a day of our independence of this great country and also the national day Read More …
Makar Sankranti Puja Pune (India)
Makar Sankranti Puja, Pune, India I’m sorry I’ve not been able to speak to you in English language and I’ve spoken sometimes. This special day today is a day of Sankranti. Sankri – you know ‘San’ means good, holy and ‘krant’ means if the -when I speak Marathi I forget English – revolution. Holy revolution. Holy.That’s what I’m telling them what is the Holy Revolution is that your own Dharma is established now through Sahaja Yoga. You know what is your Dharma. Because if you don’t do your own Dharma you’ll be lost. Your vibrations will be lost. You’ll immediately know that in your seeking you have lost something. You’ll be affected so you have to correct. That’s not so difficult.But to make it a Sankrant – Holy Revolution – you have to take to new – new religion, new steps. First of all, your own step should be enlightened, and then you must establish new steps to go ahead. And these are the new steps which are different for the Westerners and different for the Easterners. Just now I told them about the Eastern style and then I’ll tell you later on about the Western.We have to have new ideals, new styles because we are the courageous people, we are the valiant people. We’ll have to fight the war of love, through love. And it’s a very delicate thing. When the moon moves – the sun moves – from the left to the right that means your desire becomes Read More …
