Concert & Inauguration of Vaitarna Music Academy Vaitarna (India)
Inauguration speech for the opening of the new Music Academy (transcr. only English part). Vaitarna (India), 1 January 2003. I’m sorry I spoke in Hindi language, because to talk about My father in any other language is very difficult, though he was a master of English language and he used to read a lot. He had a big library of his own where I also learned English, because my medium of instruction was Marathi. I’d never studied Hindi or English. But because of his library, because I was very fond of reading, I picked up English, whatever it is, and also Hindi. Now they all say I speak very good English and very good Hindi, I am surprised, because to Me they were foreign languages. And when I did my matriculation also, I had a very small book of English, and for inter-science also I had a very small book. And in the medical college of course there was no question of any language, but because I used to read a lot. So I would suggest to all of you to read, read more. But don’t read nonsensical books, very good famous books you must read. That’s how I developed my language, and I had to do so well. By reading that, I could know also so much about the human failings. I didn’t know human beings have those failings, I didn’t know. I was absolutely beyond them. After reading everything, I came to know that there are human beings, Read More …
Evening Program, The Betrayed Prophet, Eve of Guru Puja Campus, Cabella Ligure (Italy)
2002-07-20 Talk after Evening Program of the play: The Betrayed Prophet (Eve of Guru Puja) My heart is so full, because in this great drama you have really shown the beauty of Mohammed life; how people have misused and troubled all the world around; and now, they are in trouble. He never wanted that but how human beings misunderstand such a great prophet like him. I must congratulate Guido and the all of you for acting so well and what a drama it was! The synchronization and all that also technique things you… I don’t know what to say… in every way it was a very, very beautiful drama. It has touched My heart because Mohammed is not understood by His followers, not the ones who opposed Him; such a great man of compassion, such a great man of spirituality has been so much misunderstood and Islamic world, so called, and non-Islamic, so called, they never understood the greatness of Mohammed Sahib. I mean, I was really very much touched by this because he was my loveliest son and I worshipped Him. May God bless His soul and all of you who followed Him in spirit. Spread the news, get more people into Sahaja Yoga; very easy to get Mohammed’s disciples into Sahaja Yoga if they are really His disciples. It’s not difficult to get them into Sahaja Yoga because He has already described, described that at the time of resurrection your hands will speak. He has already said so Read More …

Evening Program Shri Ganesha Puja Campus, Cabella Ligure (Italy)
You all know Tumar and his name is Dhananjay, it’s a very wonderful name, I must say very few people have this name, and his younger brother also has come, he is very good at tabla and of course Dhananjay seems to be getting inspiration from the divine and the way he played all those things were really so wonderful, he is very young in age, he started playing this day in the harmonium from the age of four years and very fond of Babamama and Babamama was very much fond of him but sometimes you know people play politics and he didn’t come for some time, I was surprised, I’m very happy he could come and he could enjoy his music and his whole system, it’s so wonderful that how many instruments he can play at the same time. Now this one was the last one, was something of a very great musician, Bade Gula Malikasahab, we have heard him but not you people because we are old and you are all young so he may not be, he’s no more now but he was a great master, great master and so much lost in his music that while singing he used to raise all his body upward and again go back and in the beginning we felt, this is too much of an exercise but the way he had mastered this Indian music was remarkable, he had had such great musicians in our country and that art sort Read More …

Evening Program, Nishat Khan Concert, Eve of Navaratri Puja Campus, Cabella Ligure (Italy)
Evening Program before Navaratri Puja DAY – 1 06.10.2000 Cabella TAPE – 1 2:47:06 …Art, not only that but all the intricate patterns of it. I was overjoyed to see Sahaja yoginis and Sahaja yogis dancing so well and I hope that will change the styles of their walk. (Shri Mataji and people in audience laugh) When I came first to London long time back with my daughters, they used to wonder look at women here and they said mummy they all walk like horse. I said really, see their hair also going like, going up and down and the way they walk. Big influence of horses I think on England. But that was just by the way I told him. But you must have noticed Pawar is a very humourous person because he comes from India, not only that from Maharashtra and he belongs to the same caste as mine. So they are known for their humour. And in his humour he has tried to entertain you very well. I must say this, he’s such an expert on Kathak. To understand it, I think aa.. you require little knowledge about the percussions. If you have that knowledge then you will understand how it is difficult, how it is intricate and how it is creative to produce this. It’s a very, very long study, long work, they have to do and practices after practices. That’s how the Indian art is. But I was surprised that when Sahaja yogis go in Read More …
Evening Program before Sahasrara Puja Campus, Cabella Ligure (Italy)
Evening Program before Sahasrara Puja Day 1 & 2, Cabella Ligure, May 5&6th 2000 [The evening program is concluded by a santoor concert by Bhajan Sopori. During the concert Shri Mataji says”Wah”. At the end of the concert: “Wah wah”.] (Shri Mataji speaks first in Hindi: “…Sukhwinder…”) It is really a very memorable program we had, as was told before, and I’m amazed how it has all been done so well. The idea of calling Bhajan Sopori was very much appreciated in the beginning. And I thought santoor is the best instrument for Sahasrara. Because it has got so many strings to play, just like our Sahasrara is made of one thousand petals. So the – it was very apt that we could invite these two great musicians. I don’t know how to praise them, because is really so much beautiful way of rendering was there, that we all got lost into the ocean of joy. It was very, very beautiful, and from all of you I thank them very much from My heart, that they should really develop this art and this kind of creativity much more, and come to us again and again – will be a much better promise for us on this auspicious day. Now, you see, one has to know that Indian music is a very deep subject, it’s – only can be understood by people who have depth in them. And I was surprised that the people who went to Babamama’s Academy, in three Read More …
