Birthday Felicitations, Talk and Debu Chaudhari – Sitar New Delhi (India)
2004-03-20 Birthday Felicitations Program: Talk and Debu Chaudhari – Sitar So many of you have come, and it has given Me the greatest pleasure. I don’t know what is the felicitation you all want to do for, because after all I’m a Mother, and a Mother has to do Her job. There’s no felicitation with it. Just love, love for My children, and that is how i’ve worked and it has worked out. You can see for yourself how you have learnt to love each other. I wish all over the world people develop that love, that universal love for each other. All the our problems will be finished, no wars, no ill feeling, nothing, only there will be a beautiful wave of love among ourselves. All these things can happen, and we can reside in a very calm and collective way all the time. What is happening today is not of my liking, because to Me they are all one, and what is the need to have fights and to have differences? If they could just meditate, they will know that they are all one, there’s no difference at all. My only wish is that all of you should get your realization and that you meditate.May God bless you.Thank you!
Birthday Felicitations New Delhi (India)
Birthday Felicitations. Nirmal Dham, Delhi (India), 20 March 2003. Talk by Sir C. P. Shrivastava Madam Mayor, Shri Rahul Bajaj, Shri Debu Chaudhary, honored guests, dear Sahaj Yogis and Sahaj Yoginis Let me first clarify that we are celebrating only one birthday, and that is birthday of your Mataji. I am, you know statistically about fifteen million people living on this Earth must have been born on twenty-first of March. I’m one of them. Just doesn’t matter whether I’m there or not, but we’re celebrating today Her birthday and let’s keep to that. What I wanted to say has been said already by many, but I want to mention to you that we are celebrating today a momentous event which happened eighty years ago, She was born with a mission. Her mission was to transform humanity. For the last thirty-three years, She has been at it almost day and night. She has traveled to villages in India on foot, in the bullock cart, in a car. She has traveled by plane. She has been to many parts of the world and it is because of that individual, personal endeavor that we see what we see today. She is an Incarnation, because I don’t believe that any human being can transform a single other human being. It’s easy to deal with the machinery [applause]. In my office, I try to improve someone, I fail miserably. She has transformed hundreds of thousands of people. And when I look at you, I feel Read More …
Birthday Felicitations New Delhi (India)
Talk on Birthday Felicitations. Delhi (India). 23 March 2002 This felicitation function is little embarrassing for Me because I was born as a very simple person and I have been an extremely simple person. I don’t understand money. I don’t understand hatred. I don’t understand greed. I’m so simple about it. Despite that, you people came and got your Realization. It’s your own achievement. It’s your own desires that you have achieved. I find so many children nowadays born as realized souls.So I think the time is also there, that at My life, in My life itself, this was to happen. It is everybody’s lot. I think, like Shri Rama, then came Shri Krishna, then came Jesus, then other people. It was their time. And My time it is to give you all Realization. But, I must say, you all have taken it very heartily, sweetly and are using your powers to give love to others and to transform others.The other day, I was talking about love. Now the love, as it is understood, is in your heart as this, but do you know the ocean of love is your Sahasrara. When your Sahasrara is filled with love, then the life is changed. You don’t become a very intelligent man, very dynamic personality, but you are nothing but love and this love is so self-satisfying.You are not bothered if others don’t love you or they love you. You don’t see to that part. What you see is the enjoyment from Read More …
Birthday Felicitations: Human Beings don’t know what powers they have New Delhi (India)
Birthday Felicitations. Delhi (India), 20 March 2001. Sir C.P.’s Talk: (not transcribed) Shri Mataji’s Talk: I bow to all those who have found the truth and those who are still trying to find. The greatest problem of human beings is, surprising, that they don’t know themselves. They don’t know what powers they have. They don’t know what properties they have. They don’t know to what height they can rise. This is the main problem of ignorance about yourself. If you could just peep in your heart and start thinking about the spiritual life that you could have, you would know you are a treasure, treasure of powers of love, powers of justice and powers of wisdom. The problem is we have no idea as to what we are and Sahaja Yogis also, they are so humble that they do not realize what powers they have, and sometimes I find they are little shy to talk about Sahaja Yoga or to tell about others because they think it might be their ego that is speaking. Now, I have to tell you one thing that ego will always deflate, it will always deflate when you will face the society. Unless and until you face others your ego cannot come down. Now, how? The ego is there because when you think that others are better than you, when you are afraid to say that they have to transform, and when you are worried that you are being very aggressive. If you are a Read More …
Birthday Felicitations: Love Your Country New Delhi (India)
Birthday Felicitations (English part), Delhi (India), 22 March 2000. Our honoured guest, our respected Home Affairs Ministry is here, Mr. Advani, who has been always a very great dezabhakt [patriot]. I admired him because he loved his country; he is very patriotic. And this is – [Big applause] And as you know, My father and mother both were very patriotic. They sacrificed everything for the country, and I also was always condemned by everyone as being a very patriotic person. [Applause] We must love the country in which we are born. There is some connection, very great connection, between yourself and your country. And I have seen that after Sahaja Yoga, all those who have been transformed into new visions and new ideas always know what’s wrong in their own country, and so conscious of it. I am surprised that every one of them have been able to tell Me what’s wrong in their country and what should be done. They never identified with the wrongs or the misdeeds of their country. It’s very surprising. On the contrary they said: “Mother, all these countries require Your attention so that they should be corrected.” Their politicians should be corrected, their citizens should be corrected and that people should really evolve into a new consciousness. All of them have been working it out. Now we have here very few Sahaja Yogis from abroad, but I tell you it’s surprising how these Sahaja Yogis have enlightened thousands and thousands of Sahaja Yogis all over the world. Read More …
Birthday Felicitations compilation 19 20 21 of March New Delhi (India)
Evening Program Birthday Puja All this being said on My birthday, really embarrasses Me, because it’s all being already scheduled, it was all timed out. It had to happen this way. And the time has come now that this whole world has to take to global understanding. Human beings, I was surprised, are how anxious in those difficult times to get to the truth; because very difficult to carry on with the truth, when there’s untruth all along. And the way people get after you when you talk of truth, is also a very hazardous task to fight them those who are just always going to cruelties, to untruth, to aggressiveness. These are all self destructive elements. Also we have other self destructive elements within us, like drinking, smoking, we can say also other things, like drug taking. But people do it. Just they do it. Not that they don’t know, but they just do it because of the influence of the time. And that is what is the Kali Yuga, where we destroy ourselves and try to destroy others, and have a kind of a funny temptation for this not only that, also we enjoy all these. All this cruelty, all this aggression we enjoy. ,Now when do we say that the Kali Yuga is over, we should know something about Kali Yuga. Kali was one of the deities, who was supposed to bring in Kali Yuga, and all the problems of Kali Yuga. Firstly it creates illusions, “bhranti”. Read More …
Evening Program New Delhi (India)
Evening Program, India, 1999-03-20 [4:06:27:03] Shri Mataji: You have seen this last part of the dance which was a – when [UNCLEAR Urdu] went to, he went to see the women of [UNCLEAR] gopis who were all completely engrossed about Shri Krishna. So he said that you should take to yoga, you should take to [UNCLEAR gana] to knowledge and which is a very dry idea, I think, very dry idea. And they said ‘No we don’t have to do your…we are already one with Him. We are in His body and His in our body. We are absolutely one so there is no need for us to take, take to yoga’. Now our Sahaja yog[a] is tied that we are all in love with each other, we just love each other and this is what is in this last in which she showed – said very well. I must say it is a very subtle point she brought it out and that is what we have to know that Sahaja yog[a] is nothing but is love. Love amongst ourselves, absolutely pure love. As they say in Sanskrit [UNCLEAR Nirwaj], you don’t expect anything you just love and this love is the one which is real yoga. May God bless you.

Evening Program, 75th Birthday Celebrations Talk starts at: 2:43:56. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi: “It was a real feast, isn’t it? And also your guitar from the West has been so well managed for Indian music. In the guitars as you play you cannot create melody because it breaks all the time, but with this one, you see, how it was created, just like sarod, I would say. Now, Mister [SOUNDS LIKE Butt]’s Guru and his Guru’s Guru I have met [SOUNDS LIKE alone] in [SOUNDS LIKE Khazan]. Not only I’ve heard him – very good at [SOUNDS LIKE pakwadzji]. And also, what I see, the sarod, sarod also in him has come from the same. [SOUNDS LIKE Myer] style, you see. This is sarod style. The way he played was just like a sarod. To make this into a sarod is really creditable, I must say. So you can see the depth and the greatness of Indian music. You see, how they must have worked hard, how many years they must have spent. And the young gentleman on the tabla wala, the tabla wala and his Guru [SOUNDS LIKE Kishan] Maharaj, I have heard him many a time. His style is just like [SOUNDS LIKE Kishan] Maharaj. He reminds me of [SOUNDS LIKE Kishan] Maharaj. Very nice person, [SOUNDS LIKE Kishan] Maharaj was and such a… such a master of talas, you see, you don’t know we had very-very great people in this country and I am very happy to Read More …

Birthday Felicitations New Delhi (India)
Evening Program, 75th Birthday Celebrations – New Delhi (India) Sunday, March 22nd 1998 [Transcription starts at 2:27:47 of video] I really don’t know what to say but always after a program, I try to say something about it. Firstly, the first gentleman who was here – Jagganath Mishra – I must say, he brought all the atmosphere of Indian sweet culture in the villages very beautifully. For example, I’ve seen that only in India, poets have described the mischief of the children, the walking of the children – their gait, their style, their…every little bit of it. But nowhere in any country, I’ve seen, children have been described so sweetly, small little children, how they walk, how they fall and how they do mischiefs, but this is Indian speciality. That is our literature, all over you’ll find poetry describing the play of Shri Krishna, maybe of Shri Rama and all kinds of things… wonderful. Even there was a Christian gentleman who got converted, he also has written a beautiful poem about Christ’s childhood, but I haven’t seen anywhere in the literature, in the Christian community or Christian people, that they have described Christ as a child – how he was, how he looked, how he walked. It’s very interesting, and that’s what I felt today when there he was describing the… swing that we have for this season – we call it as the Vasanta, means the …as the Spring – very bad at translation. So the spring, you see Read More …
Birthday Felicitations: Put Attention To Your Spirit New Delhi (India)
75th Birthday Felicitation Program. Delhi (India), 20 March 1998. I bow to all the seekers of truth.So much has been said and really my heart is full of gratitude for all of you to come here, all the way, and the way people have described about Sahaja Yoga. To understand Sahaja Yoga, we should know where are we today in this Kali Yuga. What are we facing today? It should really make you feel quite disturbed to see the way things are going on in every country, everywhere. What’s the problem? What is the, such a need for people to become so restless, full of tensions. Collectively, country-wise, anywhere you go you find some sort of a confusion. Terrible. The whole society seems to be boiling with a kind of a fear of destruction. What is the reason? There are so many religions, so many organized, disorganized, all kinds of things. There are so many sadhus and saints. There are so many books written about what you should have. But the only one who is a seeker of truth should see one point: Why, why there is so much problem in this world and how can you help them? Where is the problem? It is inside the human being. As described, you see, we have come out of a animal stage to a human stage. We have a human awareness, no doubt. In that awareness, we start seeing all kinds of things that are not good, which are destructive, which Read More …

Birthday Felicitations and Talk New Delhi (India)
Birthday Felicitations. New Delhi (India), 21 March 1995 The great son of India, Mr Seshan, all the respected friends and guests, all My children Sahaja Yogis: It is true that Chaitanya organizes many things which are most unexpected. I have been a great admirer of Mr. Seshan. I saw a new rising sun, hope for Me. As you know My past that My father, My mother, sacrificed everything to get freedom in this country. Also, as you know about My life how I worked very hard as a young girl.But when we got our freedom I don’t know what happened to us. We forgot many things. One of them was Gandhiji, with whom I have lived as a little child, who loved Me very much; and he said, “Let our country be free. First let our country be free. People who are slaves cannot talk of emancipation.” We became free quite all right, but then – I don’t understand how – people did not realize their responsibility. Some of them who were very sincere thought it’s impossible to work out anything in this country. Then, to My surprise, I saw Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri, who was a realized soul. He knew Me very well, and I was hoping that he will work out the spiritual side of our country and will try to bring a great name for this great yoga Bhumi. India, as you know very well, is really a country where so many saints, Incarnations, poets, of such Read More …
Birthday Felicitations Talk Kolkata (India)
Birthday Felicitations Talk So much has been said about me that I really start wondering what is all going on. Actually, I am not at all aware how things are working out. How Sahaja Yoga is spreading all over the world? How you people have come to Sahaja Yoga? It is a very special time. It is the blossom time and I was happy that in the beginning, the ‘Shuddha Vasanta’ was played, suggesting this is the blossom time. And in this blossom time, it is all organised that this should happen. I am just a medium I think and not aware as to how things are working out? Only thing, my heart was filled with such feeling of gratitude to you that you have taken to Sahaja Yoga. It’s very difficult because it’s a very subtle knowledge (Sookshma) and in this gross world where it has become worse during modern times (Kaliyuga) I never hoped that I will create even twelve Sahaja Yogis. I know this is the time but I didn’t know that it will be such a time that people all over the world will take to truth and truth will prevail. So much falsehood all around in every walk of life, in every dimension of our personality. We accept all kinds of illusions. In this condition of illusory expectations that there should be so many people who want to know the truth is the most remarkable thing. To me it’s a surprise. In Calcutta, first time Read More …
Birthday Felicitations Kolkata (India)
After Birthday Felicitations, Calcutta (India), 20 March 1994. This was a song composed by Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, so many years back, when he had a vision of our Ganapatipule seminars, where he describes that people from all the world will come, from different countries will come. Also, the Hindus, the Muslims, Christians, Sikhs and all kinds of communities will get their awakening on the bank of the sea, ‘sagar’. ‘Sagar’ is the sea. So beautifully every detail he has described. He was a seer and he could see the future where many people, who are seekers, to become ‘mahamanav’ they come. And it’s very surprising how these seers have seen the future. Like, as you know, C. S. Lewis is there and also we have got William Blake*, so many others. And I feel today, in Bengal, when I have come here in Calcutta, that his dreams are fulfilled. His Spirit would be so happy to know- [applause]. So, as you know that we get all kinds of people, all races, all religions together in Ganapatipule and where you all enjoy the bliss of God, where you feel that there’s an awakening. Also, he says that the great Mother has now risen, and She is awakened and She is going to awaken you. So, clearly, he has seen the whole thing. It’s remarkable how these seers can see things and reveal, to our amazement. I am very happy that we have such nice company of Baba Zaheer and his other Read More …

Birthday Felicitations, Kolkata (India), 19/03/1993 I’m very much thankful to Anandhata Kala sangam President. Today, he told Me, in the play, about us, that shraddha we have, which is so much needed in our life.And I know it is in Bengal, people are going to really give you something great about art. Somehow or other, here, where River Ganges makes this great scene, there has been such a big manifestation of artists and art of Indian heritage.Firstly, the models are extremely devotional, lovable, loving. They are not materialists; they care more for human beings and for the human feelings.As I’ve told you always, the greatest novelist that I’ve ever known was Shakti Nitamudhin [unsure] who was the one who would just catch your heart and make you understand in every subject he has dealt and his art of writing is so beautiful as if he understand human being and their problems and how with love you can solve them. Sahaja, it is very close absolutely there, with the art, any of it, because it is the expression of the heart. When the imagination of an artist reaches the reality, then that artist becomes sahaj, automatically. We have had many artists like that, poets, who have through their imagination reached the reality, the depth of reality. And that has brought all the releases [unsure] by which they can cure many things which you cannot cure with analyses: social problems, politic problems, any kind of problems of creativity or Indian gurdate [unsure] Read More …

Birthday Felicitations. Delhi (India), 22 March 1993. Shri Mataji: This is the book about Ustaad Mustak Ali Khan …See …He is a realized soul you can see him very clearly. And I am very happy that Debu has written this book …All such books must come up because of all these great artists…I should say …real patrons of music …are getting lost in the oblivion…It is very important that they should write about there Gurus, so people could know what kind of great people existed in this country. And what are their aspirations? If he was born in England, or any other western countries there would have been at least 3000 books written about him…So I am very happy that Debu Who has done such good work.And all those who love music should buy this and study …It’s very beautifully written.Thank you!Sahaja Yogi: Dr HS Sharma has written a book about Sahaja yoga which Shri Mataji is going to release just now … Shri Mataji is saying he is a very learned man…Shri Mataji: Very nice book!

Birthday Felicitations New Delhi (India)
Shri Mataji’s Birthday Puja Seminar, Opening Address. Delhi (India), 20 March 1993. After listening to all these beautiful reports about Sahaja Yoga, I Myself start wondering how it has worked out so well and what must have happened that in those days of Kali Yuga it has not only worked out, but it is tangible. Scientifically, we can prove it. Of course, the health of a person is the most important thing and that has is to be brought to a normal condition is the basic of kundalini awakening. But still, the way it has spread, the way it has worked out is more the credit to you than to Me. Because these are special times, as blossom times and so many of you who were seekers before, seeking truth all over, going to Himalayas, standing on your heads, fasting, doing all kinds of renunciations, everything, now have taken birth and are normal people, householders. This was all promised that such thing will happen. Only with such people Sahaja Yoga will work out. So, I would say, whole thing is a plan which has worked out. You all took your birth at this special moment. Even if you see the position of stars and all that you can see clearly how everything has clicked together. It all a divine plan, but, in your case, it is your own decision because we are human beings and you have been given freedom to choose. It’s your own decision to take to Sahaja Read More …
Birthday Felicitations Siri Fort Auditorium, New Delhi (India)
Birthday Felicitation Program. Siri Fort Auditorium, Delhi (India), 22 March 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 conceptualize it. We have to know it. Unfortunately, at this human awareness level, we cannot know the truth. We have to become the Spirit. Whatever I am telling you today need not be accepted, no need to have blind faith because all of them have praised Sahaja Yoga so much. But keep your mind open like scientist and I have put before you this hypothesis, and if it works, as honest people you have to accept it because it is for your benevolence and it is for the benevolence of the whole world. I am so very joyous to see these flowers from all the countries where I have so many children. It fills my heart to see the harmony between these flowers, the way they are so harmonious. We have people from all kinds of races, all kinds of religions, all kinds of nationalities, all kinds of political systems – but there is such a beautiful brotherhood and sisterhood among them. Without any effort, it has been achieved – automatically. They have become so beautiful because there is between ourselves and the reality a very little distance. If we can cover that distance and if we could absorb the reality, then you’ll be amazed how you are so fantastic, so Read More …
Birthday Felicitations Mumbai (India)
1986- 0324 BIRTHDAY FELICITATION AND CONCERT, BOMBAY, INDIA I feel so proud to hear the great musician playing here on the adivadya such beautiful ragas and melodies to enthral us with spiritual ascent. It proves that this is the adivadya we can say primordial instrument because it emitted the maximum number of vibrations. I wish other people also learn this great instrument. This integration between different styles of music in India must take place and I am so very happy he has so much knowledge of north Indian music as well and that all north Indian musicians who were sitting have appreciated this great music and have realized that such lot of wealth is lying in our country which is to be mutually appreciated and understood. This experiment of integration must go on. As a great artist like you must honour the (hearts/arts) of all these great listeners also and give them the full ideas of what heritage lies in this country and I personally think people are not so deep enough to understand and to enjoy this music. Through Sahaj yoga I am sure all over the world will create such human beings who will go beyond the aura of eastern, western, southern, northern styles but enters into that home which is rendered through our ragas and (taals), and different styles of music all over the world. You need not understand the raga, you need not understand the taals, the name of it but you understand everything if you Read More …

Talk at the Birthday Felicitation , Delhi , India. 20-03-1984 On this occasion I bow to all my children, to all the well-wishers, friends who have come here to express their kind feelings towards me. Thank you very much. In such circumstances the words cannot express, the deep feeling of gratitude for all of you who have so kindly come down here. It is very important for us to realize one thing that the time has come for all of us to transform ourselves, all the possibilities of transformation is possible. We all have to transform ourselves. We must raise our level from this human level to the higher level of spirit. Otherwise those who will not will not enter into the kingdom of god and may be destroyed. The time is very precarious and precious and the most opportune time. Today is the day they have put a Sahasrara here, many one thousand petalled lotus surrounding the limbic area in our head. The coconut is called as Shriphala which represents something like our brain and the inside of the coconut is the limbic area. In the same way we have got in our brain this limbic area on which many scientists have done a lot of research but they cannot go very far with it because they are doing everything from outside, it is only through Sahaja yoga you can understand what lies in that brain. All the seven centres about which I have told you in the previous Read More …
