AuthorLeave a comment

Shri Ganesha Puja in Sholapur, (India), 4 January 1983. I’m sorry, I’ve not been able to, in a way, talk to you [Marathi] to talk to you directly about things and, though you know I’ve been looking after you very well. [Marathi] And I didn’t have so much time but you know, I have to work very hard and when you have only one program, I have three or four programs. And I’m working very hard for them. And you see, I’ve told you that Maharashtra is going to be very fast movement and we have to move very fast. Now what you have to understand is that you have come for this program of Maharashtra for what? Why have you come here? That people must understand. What I find that there is no understanding of this simple fact, with some people – some people are murmuring souls among you and they don’t understand why are they here. They are here to learn certain things for Sahaja Yoga. Now, especially if you do not have an ashram also there’s always a problem to learn how to live with others and in a way that we should move in a Spartan way, in a Spartan way. How to live in a Spartan way and how to be smart? Now see these people here, Maharashtrians are. Just look at them, you have to learn from them. How quick! I don’t have to tell them anything. See they are so self-disciplined within themselves. Read More …

Shri Ganesha and Shri Gauri Puja. Sydney (Australia), 4 April 1981. Today is a very unique thing that is happened – is a special luck for Sahaja yogis of Australia. This day has never been celebrated before in the history of Sahaja Yoga. Today is the New Year’s Day for Sahaja yogis, because this is the New Year’s Day of the Shalivahan calendar. As you know, Shalivahan is My dynasty, and they are called as Shalivahan because they are the carriers of the shawls of the Goddess, they are called as the, because – as you are also carrying so many times My shawls around – and they were called as Shalivahan. So this New Year’s Day is the first day of advent of Goddess – the nine days there are. Then in another times that there are Satya Yug, then there’s Dvapara, Treta, Kali Yuga: there are four yugas. So in two yugas the Goddess incarnated, one before the Satya Yuga and one after it. So today is the day to mark absolutely the first day when She incarnated on this Earth. That’s the day also of the Gauri, because Virgin is the first form of the Goddess. And She created also Ganesha on Tuesday, just starting this week. What is the day? The day today is …? Today …. [Yogini: Today’s the fourth. Saturday, Mother. Saturday.] Saturday. Now, now, it’s over. Now don’t stay, all right? While I’m speaking you should not take My photographs. It’s a very Read More …

Shri Ganesha Puja: Innocence within us must be first of all invoked Zurich (Switzerland)

AuthorLeave a comment

Shri Ganesha Puja. Zurich (Switzerland), 12 October 1980. You have to see that all the negativity goes away, around us, around the universe. So first we sing the praise of the Goddess; when She destroyed a very negative, satanic incarnation of Mahishasura. And when he was killed, all the gods praised Her for saving them from the destruction, and that happened long, long time back – about ten thousand years back. So this is the praise of the Gods of that so that, whatever is the negativity, through those mantras it  will go away, because it surrounds us – you see that, all of them have been there coming; from ten thousand years they have been coming. But this is the way you can throw them out of the present into their proper places. All right? So, listen to it – it’s now in French luckily. Sahaja Yogi (Gregoire): It’s in French, it doesn’t matter, Mother? Shri Mataji: No, Sanskrit is not there? Gregoire: Sanskrit is there, but it is … Shri Mataji: You just read it in French, is all right. (Reading of a description of the Gods praising the Goddess in French, followed by lots of background noise as they prepare the Ganesha Puja. All recite, “Jai Ganesha, Jai Ganesha, Jai Ganesha pahimam, Shri Ganesha, Jai Ganesha, Jai Ganesha rakshamam.” Shri Mataji: Now, what you are doing by saying these mantras, you are awakening the innocence within you; innocence is represented by Shri Ganesh.
