Doctor’s conference at AIIMS Jawaharlal Auditorium, New Delhi (India)

Doctor’s conference at AIIMS, New Delhi (India). 2 April 2002. I bow to all the seekers of truth. Speaking before the doctors I think of My college days, while I was also studying medicine but luckily or unluckily our college stopped completely, in Lahore and I had to give up My studies. Not that I had no faith in this western education of medicine but it was a good chance by connecting this to that and understanding what is missing in the western medical education. The missing point is this, that human beings are considered in the medical science as something very individual and not connected with the whole. We are all connected with the whole. But how to convince people that you are all connected with the whole and that you are not singled out? As we are connected with the whole all our problems are connected with the whole, you cannot just consider somebody as the patient of one thing and another patient of another thing, could be that one person who has one trouble, could be having so many other troubles, so many other connections which we do not locate in the western medical science. For example, to see a person medically very sick, may be, but you don’t know, what is his mental condition? What is he doing mentally? Is he all right mentally or only he is physically something wrong with him? Now absolutely we know about so many things, like say, medically we have Read More …

Press Conference, The Path to Truth: Understanding the Essence of Self and the Power Within London Television Centre, London (England)

Press Conference. London (UK), 8 July 1999. I bow to all the seekers of truth. First of all, it’s important to know what the truth is. You find so many people are seeking the truth, but they don’t know what to find and that’s how they are twisted around, taken to some sort of a false rites. It’s important first of all to know what is the truth that we are seeking. The truth is, if I tell you, it’s very simple: that you are not this body, you are not this mind, you are not this intellect, you are not these emotions, but you are the pure Spirit. That’s what you have to become – the pure Spirit. And another truth is that the power that leads you to the state were you know the truth about yourself, about everything is within you, this power is within you, is your own. Born with you, with every human being. That’s surprising: if all the human beings in the whole world have this power within their triangular bone – how can we differentiate them? They are all just the same, everybody has a power based in their triangular bone known as sacrum, that means the Greeks knew it was a sacred bone. This fact that there is a power in the triangular bone was known thousands of years back, I should say, in India and in various countries. I was surprised – even in Sweden I found, Norway I found, people Read More …

Conference for Doctors, Marina di Pietrasanta, Italy, 2 October 1998. These are the days of a great turmoil and all kinds of problems are cropping ¬up which never happened before: political problem, economic problem, personal problem, family problems. Now also the psychological complications are there and everybody is seeking if there is any solution to this. Physical problems also are there which doctors have to face a lot. And I have also studied medicine, so I know how difficult it is to get through all the exams. Despite that they have not reached to any solutions. But if you believe in God, who is a creator, we have to also believe that He must have given us something to solve these problems. So, I have to just tell you that the time for our transformation, the evolutionary breakthrough has come. As Christ has said, “You seek Me and you’ll find.” So, when all these problems are cropping up, you want to seek the guidance of the Divine. So My simple message is that you have to seek your Self; you must know yourself. Christ has said, “Know thyself.” And for that there is an arrangement within us and if that works out, then you’ll be amazed if you become the Spirit, how the life changes, the whole thing changes for you. You see there are those so many lights here, but if they are not connected to the mains, they do not give light. But if you become the self, Read More …

Scientific Conference [English Transcript] Shri Mataji: Can’t have lights outside? Shri Mataji: I bow to all the seekers of truth. These are special times, I call them blossom time. See, all the flowers are out now. In the same way human flowers have come in the seeking. Seeking the truth. For ages, they have been seeking the truth and now they are born at this special time, to get their aim. So many of them got lost because they did not know what to seek. Even the science is a ‘seeking’. And the seeking in the science is in the limited area. Because science is diversified. Somebody is a physicist, he will seek truths in physics. Some in the medical science, some in the chemistry, like that. And they go on diversified, all the time into different lines of seeking. But the truth is different. In the area of truth, if you have to seek, then the first thing you have to have, humility; that so far you have not known the truth. If you think you have known the truth, then nobody can force you. But if you are humble about it, that you don’t know the truth and also that you should have the purest desire to know the truth. These are special times- as I said, because, there are so many seekers who are born. And they have to get, what really they are seeking. So far there have been lots of theories about the truth. But Read More …

TRANSCRIPTION OF FELICITATION AT UNITY INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 1997-0406, NEW DELHI, INDIA Doctor U.C. Rai: 1984, I met Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. She was giving a talk usually in a hall, one of the halls [UNCLEAR] when She was there. And She said that Sahaja Yoga is considered, if you do not think it is possible, why don’t you do some research? And that was the beginning in 1984 of doing some research on Sahaja Yoga. I was a professor at that time. I asked one of my students to take this subject and he started doing it. And the first thing that came to my mind, that if I ask somebody to do this Yoga, then I must be very clear as to what are the advantages of this Yoga on his body. And therefore, the first thing before diseases are ready, I would like to tell you only a few. One was, that there was a change in the secretion of neurotransmitters. And these neurotransmitters, as doctors here will know, had an array. You see, these are usually produced when you are in a state of psychological stress. If there is a greater production of adrenalin the body, it can give rise to so many things. It produces anxiety, neurosis, it can produce hypertension, palpitation and so on. I thought that it is a very good thing. That, if by doing Sahaja Yoga for fifteen to twenty minutes, you can decrease the production of adrenalin, which is Read More …

Medical Conference St. Petersburg (Russia)

Medical Conference, St. Petersburg (Russia), 20 September 1995. I bow to all the people who are seeking peace from their heart. If it is superficial, then I can not help. But when we realize that all these wars have brought such a calamity on your nation and all the nations concerned, we should now really think seriously about peace. I’m against no religion. All the religions came on this Earth as flowers on the same tree of spirituality. And then it so happened that people plucked these flowers and now are fighting with the dead flowers, “This is mine, this is mine.” After the Second World War a new style of war has started in the name of God. How can you fight if you believe in one God? So it is just a mental idea they have. It’s not the real faith in the heart. No religion teaches you to hate, but the situation is just the opposite. I know in the beginning all these religions came in the purest form and tried to bring love, peace and unity in this world, but some people became in charge of the religion. They were also nice, but gradually they started separating from each other. Not only it was among religions, but among every religion there were different, different sects. Whatever they have done, at least they have created the feeling of righteousness among people. They have talked of morality. They have talked of love and compassion. They have built many Read More …

Fourth World Conference on Women, “On the Global Problems Facing Women, Inter-Regional Round Table”. Commodity Exchange Tower, Beijing (China) 13 September 1995. Moderator: Dear Mother Shrivastava, Who is a spiritual Mother and the present head of Sahaja Yoga, which I’m very much looking forward to hearing what You have to say, because I’m sure that You have such desires for many women around the world. I’m looking forward to being touched by You today. H.H. Shri Mataji: Brothers and Sisters of the World, It is a great honor for Me to talk about global problems of women in front of this distinguished assembly. First of all, I would like to offer My profound gratitude to the government and people of our host country, the People’s Republic of China. I have had a privilege of visiting China on two previous occasions, and I am a great admirer of the wisdom and culture of this great nation that I have visited. This is beyond My imagination the most glorious time in the history of the world, that at this time we are so much aware of the problems of women. Women as a whole have definitely suffered over the ages, as the previous lady has told you, because we have not realized what their importance is and what their proper role is in human society. Society itself, which is her creation, tries to control or put down the womanhood. In the East, we can say, that due to fundamentalist influence women have Read More …

Medical Conference Bucharest, Ecological University of Bucharest (Romania)

Medical Conference, Ecological University of Bucharest (Romania), 2 August 1995. So all the professors, the Vice Chancellor who was so kind to invite Me here to talk to you about something which is very different, I would say in a way, very different from the medical science I have studied. I would not call it different but it is, I would say, it is the basis of our medicine. For example if you want to treat the tree for its sickness and you start applying things from outside it doesn’t work out so well. It may have reactions also. But if you can somehow go to the roots, then the whole tree can be treated. Our medical science now, in the modern times, has become very specialized, to such an extent that you may have a doctor for one eye and another doctor for another eye and there is no synthesis. There’s no treatment to the totality of the human being. This leads to problems and has created many kinds of reactions. So today I’m going to talk to you about the subtle system that is within us. You should not take Me for granted, there should not be any blind faith about it but if it is proved, this hypothesis that I put before you, then as scientists you must keep your minds open and then you can accept it as honest people because it is for the benevolence of yourself, your family, your country and the world at Read More …

Medical Conference, St Petersberg (Russia), 14 September 1994. I bow to all the seekers of truth. I am so enamored by this august gathering here, and all this is because of Dr. Voronov who has done so much. I don’t know how Dr. Voronov; I don’t know how he found Me. He came to see Me and I was amazed that he’s a scientist and such a great seeker of truth. Also, I am so much surprised that scientists are talking of morality, it’s something unusual. It’s only in Russia people can do that. Because science is amoral and has nothing to do with spirituality. It is now this new step I find, you people who are so advanced that you want to know about spirituality. Spirituality is metascience. The morality sense has come now to science and scientific research that they are realizing that there are genes in the human beings which get into mutation. I have told long time back that there are two genes especially, which look after our morality. With one gene mutation we do sin against the Mother. Sin against the Mother is that you indulge into things which are immoral, everything that is self destructive. This self destruction is what we call immorality. The second gene in the human being is, goes into mutation when you do the sin against the Father. Against the Father the mutation takes place when we are aggressive, violent, we are thieves or do things which are improper in Read More …

[Talk starts here] 00:23 Here we have many doctors who are Sahaja Yogis and also abroad. The common point is that quality I have found, that they have concern and compassion, they were not completely money oriented. They definitely felt that we can by some level help the people who are of a poorer class or middle class who cannot achieve benevolence from medical science because shifted. Another [of] qualities I tried for them, the compassion, has let them to think about Sahaja Yoga. Sahaja Yoga is holistic in every way. Today, if I put a hypothesis before you, as scientist you must keep your mind open and accept it, and as Indians I would say it is your heritage, it’s not coming from abroad, it is coming from your country from ancient times. To say that I found Sahaja Yoga is not correct. Sahaja Yoga has been there since long and everybody has preached about it, talked about it, all the Naths, all these have talked about it; Nanak Saab has said Sahaj Samajika.

Doctor’s Conference, Pune, India I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset I have to very humbly say that truth is what it is, we cannot organize it, we cannot order it, we cannot describe it, it is also beyond human awareness. This is the fact which I am placing before you and also one has to realize that if it is not possible to comprehend in our human awareness we have to cross a certain threshold of our awareness. Unless and until that happens we cannot understand the truth, it’s not a mental feat these are not mental acrobats or emotional outbursts. It is something that is all the time there and then what’s the truth.Another thing I would like to say very much at the outset because you are all scientists here sitting, as scientist you must keep your mind open otherwise you can never discover new things. If you are just settled with what you know so far that doesn’t show that you are a scientist. A scientist must keep his mind open all the time and these… all these that they have talked you need not agree, you need not blindly follow it, there is no need to follow it. But one thing is sure that you must take it as a hypothesis… as a hypothesis as any scientist would take and then see for yourself if it is true then as honest people you must accept it.So now what is the truth, it’s very Read More …

Doctor’s Conference, 2 July 1990 – Moscow (Russia) I bow to all the seekers of truth. In the medical studies whatever we have discovered so far is there already available. And whatever we can discover with human awareness has its own limitations. Supposing it is said that the human body does not accept any foreign thing into its being, but when the foetus is implanted, then it is looked after, it’s not thrown out, it’s looked after and thrown out at the right time. Also the role of acetylcholine and adrenaline in our body, its mode of action cannot be explained because sometimes they augment, sometimes they relax. We cannot even explain the action of our spleen; there are so many things that cannot be explained through medical achievements. So we have to know there is much to be known and much to be found out. So I would like you all to know something of the beyond which is not known so far. And for you I would request to have an open mind of a scientist to see for youself if it is true or not. Till then it’s like a hypothesis. So Sahaja Yoga gives you the complete picture, total picture, of the totality of consciousness. And as you grow higher and higher in Sahaja Yoga you yourself understand and can work out this great system. First we have to accept that we are not only this human body, nor our emotions, and neither our ego and Read More …

Medical Conference in Fiuggi, Italy, 05-05-1990 I bow to all the seekers of truth. As you know very well, that all the religions have talked of one thing that is, we should seek the truth and that we have to be born again. But it is not just a certificate or a kind of a group we form, say that we are born again. But it is the actualization to believe that we have found the truth, that by reading a particular scripture, we are the people who are following the truth is just taking us to the darkness of fundamentalism. And that’s why when people tell me that they are following the religion very strictly why is it physically, mentally, emotionally, they are so sick? But actually, they are not following reality. They have not tried to find out the reality. Thousands of years, our forefathers have been doing the same thing. There is no religion which has said that (inaudible) but this falsehood has  lead us into a very big mess that we have started hating each other in the name of religion and they have become now, all religions, very money-oriented. Either they go to the right side as told to you or go to the left side and become possessed.

Press Conference Shri Mataji: (Addressing the room). There are lots of people who are seekers today. That’s how I have come back again. And the truth is, that we are the Spirit. Now in these modern times when people only talk of science, people cannot believe that there is something like the Spirit and that there can be all-pervading power, a subtle pervading power which does thinking for us, organizing for us and which also loves us. Some [UNCLEAR] think too much of it. [UNCLEAR] important so [UNCLEAR] equally important. But if you have a scientific attitude towards it, then it can be proved. If you take it as a hypothesis, then it can be proved that there is an all-pervading power, subtle power that exists. Because it is the rule of English, and then later on followed by the certain attitude of intellectuals, we should say, we have tried to sort of put some clouds on this truth which was there. But it exists. It is there. And, in Sahaja Yoga, we can prove the existence of this all-pervading power. That means you can feel it on your fingertips. This all-pervading power, you can feel it as a cool breeze on your fingertips. And when this power which we call as Kundalini rises, it pierces through six centres, subtle centres, and emerges out, of your fontanelle bone area, which we call it as “tat”. And that’s how you get your self-realization. Now we had saints in this country, so Read More …

And, one has to understand that when our civilisation has grown so much outside, like a tree; we must also find out the roots. Because we have not tried to do that, all these problems are coming up in the whole world.  You will be surprised that the roots are in India. And that we have the knowledge. We have had that knowledge since ancient times. Of course, I must say everybody knew about it. Muhammad Saab knew about it. Jesus knew about it. Buddha knew about it. Mahavira knew about it. All of them knew about it. But they did not find people who were able to receive it. One must have the ability to receive it. And it is already described.
