Evening Program, Eve of Shri Ganesha Puja Campus, Cabella Ligure (Italy)
1996-09-14 Evening Program, Part 2, Eve of Ganesha Puja, Cabella Just now you have heard all these 4 artists. The first one is an Australian I only know his surname. I don’t know his name What is his name ? So his name is Nick and I have heard him before also. But this instrument that he plays, I have never heard anybody playing classical Indian Music with that I think it must be very difficult to play with that particular saxophone that you have seen … But how he is playing Because Indian Music is all melodious. And it can not be played in parts. I was amazed at how he managed it …And another thing which really enamoured me about him is this that my father had a great desire to spread Indian Classical Music all over the world. And he said that if you spread this kind of music then all kinds of music which are not music but are noises will vanish. And so people should know this classical music then they can play any other music they want. His ambition was like that and I am so happy that Baba Mama has started a beautiful academy, very beautiful land he has got in Nagpur. And from that academy, this gentleman Mr Nick has come up. And in such a short time, so remarkable, he is a genius, must be something very special that in such a short time to play a raga-like jog is very Read More …
Evening Program, Eve of Shri Krishna Puja Campus, Cabella Ligure (Italy)
Evening Program, Eve of Shri Krishna Puja Shri Mataji: I love this special bhajan they are going to now play for you, it’s written by a great saint, Tulasi Dasa. The description here is of a little Shri Rama, while walking, how He used to walk in a particular beautiful manner. And He would fall down, and again He would get up, and all that description of a child. I don’t think – I haven’t seen any such poetry in the Western areas, describing a little child, how he walks, how he runs – you see, this is one of the very big things to understand. I don’t know about Italians, because they have lot of love for children; but the description is so beautiful of a little baby getting up, and He is an incarnation. And just like another child, how He walks and how He crawls. Now, thumakata itself is a very lyrical word I should say, which is going well with the tabla also as such, we use that, or you can say it’s rhythmic. So the whole concept in India is that a child is something very Divine, and if it’s an incarnation, the childhood of an incarnation has to be very great. I haven’t seen one poem – if you find anywhere – in the history of English, German, French and Italian where they have described a child’s movement – I’ll be very happy, because this is how you respect and enjoy a child. Alright? Read More …
Evening Program, Eve Of Shri Krishna Puja Campus, Cabella Ligure (Italy)
It’s a very Appealing and Educating Film for the People Who are Not Yet Realised Souls, Evening Program, Cabella Ligure, Italy, 30 August 1996 [Premiere of The Vision – American documentary on the life of Shri Mataji. These are quotes of Shri Mataji speaking, used within the film] ‘There’s a big inner revolution that is coming up. We must understand, we are delicately made, beautiful flowers of God. We are human beings, and the time has come for us to become now the fruits. I think next century we’ll have beautiful people all around us. No… no troubles of wars. Very peaceful, we’ll be all sitting in the Kingdom of God. ‘ ‘I had such a good childhood with My parents; they taught us how to be sacrificing. My father was in jail for years, My mother went to jail five times, and from huge, big houses, we were living in huts. But we used to enjoy everything. The feeling that, whatever our parents are doing is for our country’s freedom, was so elevating, so elevating that we never even thought of little comforts that children ask for. We could sleep anywhere, eat anything, live anywhere and that has given Me the lesson that, if you have a big purity about your dedication and purity about what you have to do, you can achieve it. And as Ghandiji has said, you have to have first freedom. I saw the Union Jack coming down and I saw the Tricolour going up. Read More …
Evening Program, Eve of Guru Puja Campus, Cabella Ligure (Italy)
Evening Program, Eve of Guru Puja, 27th of July, 1996 [During the evening music programme] Shri Mataji: Hallo. [Checking the microphone] Me and My family all visited Rome and saw the school and the children. It was really very sweet and very loving expression of their joy that we saw there. And Mr. Shrivastava was very much impressed by that, and he has given 11 million Italian Liras for the “Association of Culturale Sahaja Yoga”. [Applause] Guido: I mean, one feels really speechless in an occasion like this. And I must say already Shri Mataji has been so generous. And just imagine, last month She has donated a brand new car, a Fiat called Brava, is a new model, fully equipped with air conditioning and all the gadgets. And already we didn’t know what to say, I mean, such a generosity is, of course, always an example for all of us, and there is nothing we can do to compare it. And… So, just from the bottom of our hearts, we can only say: Thank You, Shri Mataji. Thank you, Sir C.P. And what else? I’m running out of words! [Applause] [during part 1 of the program, after the children have performed] Guido: As you may know, last night, down in the village, we had a play – a play in Italian, in Italian language – performed by Sahaja Yogis from Rome, which are not professional actors, but it seems they did quite well and the play had a big Read More …
Evening Program Tolyatti (Russia)
1996-07-19 Evening Program, Tolyatti, Russia Thank you very much …I am very happy to be with you all again …And you have gathered here in such a big group, so many of you! Tolyatti has been a very great success of Sahaja yoga because so many centres have been established here. 26 meditation centres have been established inside and outside also 26. This is because of your genuine interest and genuine feeling for Sahaja yoga …Because You have felt that. It’s very important to change the world, to get peace & joy. Some other places, meditation centres are been going down in number. I just don’t understand why it is happening …It should not happen. Because once you discover the bliss of the divine then people go on distributing this joy to others. That shows that you people are very sensitive to spirituality…& you are not materialistic especially blessed people I must say…I have discovered that here is the direct flight from here to Delhi by your aeroplanes and I think you can come to Delhi. You are all welcome very much …and Indians are also grown like you…And they will be very happy to meet you all. Thank you very much!
Evening Program, Eve of Shri Mahalakshmi Puja Moscow (Russia)
1996-07-15 Evening Program, Moscow, Russia Shri Mataji: Of Kundalini awakening like this …You are very talented … It is a real talent you people have I never knew …And she is telling me -You never use to dance and you were never on the stage before. And you have done so well. Nobody could believe it…We have a nice film now, We can show it around the whole world. I don’t know who envisage the whole thing, who saw the whole vision and Who organised it so well… Even the Hindi version was so, absolutely accurately done… I have no words to thank you but the whole thing has gone to my heart. It is really great that you people are coming up in such beautiful things to express about the Kundalini. Russians are special but in the whole world, it’s very difficult to talk about the higher life. And they will never believe but you people have not only accepted but have assimilated and have grown into such beautiful higher life of Sahaja Yoga… The whole world accepts for India I should say … People from Russia and also Belarus, Ukraine and Tatarstan (Tartarstan we know a little bit of it because Changez Khan came from there to India).People from all over have come here. (Russia, Ukraine,& Belarus ) All of them have come here and it’s so nice to see the unity & how you all have been really enjoying it and expressing it. It’s a really, the Read More …
Evening Program before Sahasrara Puja and Short Talk on Integration Campus, Cabella Ligure (Italy)
Talk on Evening Program before Sahasrara Puja, Cabella Ligure, May 3rd, 1996 It has been such a great pleasure and glorification of Sahaja Yoga today, I remember the day when it started, on the 5th May 1970. And today I see all of you so much engulfed in the Divine love and Divine power. The whole thing shows one very great, fundamental thing, of Sahasrara: that people from so many countries integrated together. Integrated. It was Sahaj, spontaneous, but every way and there was no confusion, there’s no quarrelling, no fighting, nothing. Such an integration, spontaneous, whether it is on the stage or stage of life. Now, as we are all global personalities, we are all integrated and those who were acting were enjoying as well as the ones who were looking at them were also enjoying in the same manner. It was such a good also integration between the one who was acting, or the all those who were there, and all those who were watching – I couldn’t understand whether the people who are seeing them are also acting, or also those who are acting are also seeing. It was a beautiful blending I must say, and I congratulate all the leaders of all these five countries, who have contributed so well to this deep sense of integration. Not that is the integration within that is important – of course that’s very important for a personality, but for our work, for our global emancipation we need integration of Read More …
Evening Program, Arun Apte, Eve of Christmas Puja Ganapatipule (India)
Concert before Christmas, Ganapatipule (India), 24 December 1995 [The evening before the Christmas Puja a concert is held by Arun Apte and other musicians. After Shri Mataji’s arrival he starts singing but Shri Mataji stops him as Mr. Punjab – maybe some personality or authority – would like to offer Her a garland: “Mister Punjab…”. Then the concert begins. During the concert Shri Mataji comments: “Wah”. At a certain point Shri Mataji interrupts the performance of the Marathi song “Gheyi Chand Makarand” which is being performed to explain its meaning] [1.05.03] This song is describing a seeker like the beetle which is seeking the honey in the lotus. Chanda means he’s got this fascination, wants to seek it. And he is not bothered. In his own seeking he is moving, swachanda, in his own seeking, in his own fondness. And he dhund means he’s just lost all other consciousness. Just seeking it. Means you see, this is the beauty of Marathi, you can see the drama. You stand in a drama, standing all the time. This song is sung like many others. We have a Marathi musical drama, always, which some of you are going to see on your way to it, Bombay. Now this song is depicting a person who is a seeker. And he is not bothered about anything else. And then he says that he gets to the lotus and he goes to the lotus and just gets lost there. And even when the leaves, or you Read More …
Evening Program, Eve of Navaratri Puja Campus, Cabella Ligure (Italy)
Evening Program, Eve of Navaratri Puja She is from Calcutta, Bengali didi. Her name is Amita Dutt, I saw her dancing & something very celestial, I would say such a dancing of Kathak I have never seen so beautiful and the theme of ‘The Mother ‘ has been brought forth with such depth ness and understanding with the intricacies of expression that I was amazed at this lady. She is a very well educated lady, comes from a very good family and also has a very nice husband. All this is there but she has dedicated her life to dancing and the expression in Art. Very remarkable …A gentleman accompanies her, is SaptShri Roy …Whom I have not seen before dancing but I mean I might have seen in the group that she had. So We are going to enjoy a very beautiful dancing – A life story we can say of the advent of the Goddess Mahakali. I don’t know how far she is going to go. But this shows great dedication, and creativity of this lady the way she has used Kathak for expression of a very beautiful theme. To be able to understand it you should not bother much about the intricacies & allow your heart to flow and I am sure you will understand her because She is very very vibrant at the same time She is extremely expressive, and you don’t need any language to understand it. I was so surprised for her talent and Read More …
Evening Program, Ganesha enters music Campus, Cabella Ligure (Italy)
Eve of Shri Ganesha puja, Cabella Ligure (Italy), September 9th, 1995 Nishat Khan plays on sitar Marva and Yaman ragas. Nishat Khan: Shri Mataji, it’s always a special honour to be here, to play for you and we are very grateful to be invited and in a way, I invited myself this time, to come and to play for you. Because I know that Shri Ganesha Puja is a very important puja and I want to play for you some compositions from guru vandana [respect for elders?], and so I will play, because of this time, we still have light of the evening, I will play raga Marva [Then Yaman]. [Concert] [Starts at 1:08:26] Nishat Khan: I’ve played many concerts but I have never played Marwa. I have never played Marwa for Shri Mataji, because I wanted to play for very long time, and when I arrived this evening, somebody told me that Shri Mataji has asked to play now, at 6:30. I said in this light? And I thought Shri Mataji knows So, I’m really happy that I got to play this beautiful spiritual raga for you, Madam.Shri Mataji: I must say, apologize also, that Nishat Khan had told me that he would like to play on a Ganesha Puja. I had agreed also. But as you know the Swiss are veryparticular about time. They make all the watches.[Laughter]So, also we thought as there is very short time, I felt that he may not be happy to play for a short time Read More …
Evening, Eve Of Shri Krishna Puja Campus, Cabella Ligure (Italy)
Evening before Shri Krishna Puja. Cabella (Italy), 19 August 1995. It was really a surprise to see this combination of two great artists. they come from 2 different religions as we call them gharanas. That shows that Indian music is such a harmonious thing, built in the oneness, the unity of understanding that, whatever tradition they come in, they can play together so well, support each other, and melodies can be mixed up so beautifully. I’m happy that you understand this music and enjoy it very much. I saw you all absolutely engrossed. There’s a saying that when Krishna used to play his flute, then it’s said that (chitra ….), everybody was like a picture, eyes were not moving, hands were not moving, nothing, just chitra. Like that I saw today, all of you so much engrossed and I’m so thankful to all of these artists for bringing out the beauty of this great art of music. Now also you can see that it’s a combination of east and west because this bansuri, flute, is from the east and the violin is from the west. But the way it combined together shows that there is a harmony even in the instruments, the way we play and the way we manifest the beauty of music. Music is very important for Sahaja yoga as you know that, through music the vibrations spread very well and one can go very deep into your own meditation through music. I am very happy that they Read More …
Evening Program, Sahaja Yogis are the highest human beings Építők székháza, Budapest (Hungary)
1995-08-05 Evening Program, Hungary Speech starts at 49.20 So today, I have thought of, because yesterday this lady came and she was going into spasms. And she has been to some, uh, I don’t know what sort of a cult it is. But she said that she has discovered that they are all false, so now she has given them up but she is very much possessed. Now, after seeing her, I felt that still in Sahaja Yoga we will get people who will be coming from such problems. And they will tell you about what has happened to them or how they got into it and how much money they had to pay, all these things. Of course, they are anxious to get well and they will request you to cure them. So what you have to do is to take a bandhan and tell them that you can cure yourself, you need not, we need not cure you. You can give them the photograph and you can tell them how to use it on the left hand side. But out of sympathy you just don’t become extremely kind to them and get the possession into yourself. It’s very important because in the beginning always I have seen many people get caught up and then they leave Sahaja Yoga, then they want to come back again. And they are then very caught up. As far as possible, you should not really try to treat anyone. You can ask them, Read More …
Musical Evening Bucharest, Sala Constructorul (Romania)
Musical Evening Speech, Bucharest (Romania), 2 August 1995. We have had such a nice music from our Romanian Sahaja Yogis. There’s some sort of a musical atmosphere in Romania, I think. Because when you all sing also, you sing it in a very melodious tune. Like celestial music, that was sung long time back, I feel has come back to Romania. They used to say, that the music that was appealing to God was done by gandharvas and I find those gandharvas are in Romania only. If Nabhi Chakra is Black Sea and that in Greece Athena lived, then all this area must have been the area that is described as Heaven in India. And must have been the olden days when people of Romania or of Greece must be singing praise of God. It seems that these great gandharvas are born again in your country. Even people who came from India were surprised at the esthetic and the supreme mastery over all kinds of difficult songs by these musicians. Of course, everywhere people sing now Indian songs with great ease but the melodies that you people produce, is not effective by everyone. In Turkey we had invited some people from Hyderabad who were singing quawalli. But when they heard these young boys singing so well, they ran away. I asked: “Where are they gone? I can’t see them.” They said: “They have run away, Mataji. Because it was too much for them to bear that these boys from Romania Read More …

Talk [Performance given by Amjad Ali Khan ] Shri Mataji: I don’t know how to thank Khan Sahib, Amjad Ali Sahib …I mean it is such a great honour to us that such a great artist should come all the way, to this far-fetched place like Cabella and entertained us with his magical music …No words can thank him. I just told him in London that if you can come to Cabella, You will find a beautiful, peaceful place where you will enjoy playing to so many of us …We haven’t got such a lot of money. We are not very rich people. Because as you know we don’t take any money from anyone And whatever small we could do for them, We have tried to do it …I hope you don’t mind …Whatever is our small offerings to you is out of love and out of great admiration for your work in the field of music & your two sons …I am very proud of them that in this young age they have picked up so beautifully, and they play so well. Normally you can not find, such talented children’s at this age …You should be a very proud father of such great children & also their mother is very proud of them. I must say that this music is so great and so surrounding the whole atmosphere. There is difficult to describe it in words which are rather poor to express our feelings One thing only we can Read More …

Evening Program, Eve of Easter Puja Kolkata (India)
Talk ( After Performances ) Shri Mataji : I don’t know how to thank Mrs Amita Dutta. It was one of the greatest performances of Kathak, I have ever seen. Normally Kathak becomes quite boring after some time for people who don’t understand much of ‘tala’.But this had such creativity which is the speciality of Bengal. I said Bengal at its best I saw today. The creativity of Bengal has created very great literature, poetry, also drama also dancing but this combination of everything today I see here in such a collective manner which has given me the greatest pleasure. You know how I respect artists especially the Indian Artist because our art is to be appreciated only through very deep [unclear /sensitivity ] And now as in this country lot of western influences coming up …People are taking to a cheap type of entertainments. At this juncture, to see such a beautiful performance now I have great hopes that our art will again prosper and really enter into the world market I should say …Where they will make people much deeper not running after money but after art. Perhaps you all know how ! I love art and artist & I respect them very much. I bless them from my heart for such a beautiful drama you did. The beauty was even the little girls, knew how to change their ‘Bhawas’…& their expressions so fast and In Kathak, I haven’t seen people have so much of ‘Bhawas’ as they Read More …
Evening Program, Eve of Mahashivaratri Puja Castle Mountain Camp, Wisemans Ferry (Australia)
Evening Program before Mahashivaratri Puja, Castle Mountain Camps, Wiseman’s Ferry, near Newcastle, NSW, Australia. [At the end of the evening program, after a play has been performed by sahaja yogis about Shiva, the three Shaktis and the time of creation, and the gift of knowledge to Eve; then the progressive separation of human beings from Divine dharma, and the request for support of the Shaktis to Dattatreya, who listens and sends His incarnations on the Earth to try and restore the balance in a lost and misled humanity. Finally, when Shiva is going to start the destruction, the Shaktis propose to send the Mother, the only One who can awaken the Power in human beings, making them enlightened masters of their own. Shiva agrees and, listening to Shri Mataji’s Breath, the protagonists assume spontaneously a position of meditation. The play ends with all sahaja yogis singing “Swagat. Agat. Swagatam” (Welcome) to Shri Mataji.] Congratulations to Brian Bell and to all the… (applause). I said congratulations to Brian Bell (applause) (inaudible words during clapping) and to all the actors and actresses. (Applause) To be very frank I never think of my past (Shri Mataji laughs, laughter). So I was wondering what is this drama going about (laughter). The most important thing in this life is to enlighten as many people as possible. I am very much thankful to you for expressing your joy, your talents to express the reality. Reality is not in which what we believe but it is beyond. Read More …

I hope you are comfortable in that small little train …I am sorry, There was no way out. You see …This is the only train that passes through this beautiful place …So if you want to have a vision of the beauty then you shouldn’t mind the size of the train. Also, it is like an antique piece you know…Because you have not this kind of train in your country.

Evening Program and Talk to Sahaja Yogis Barcelona (Spain)
Music Program and Talk to Sahaja Yogis ‘It was really very heartening to meet you all here. I know we are growing slowly in Spain but there are deep roots that take time. I can see my love and your love growing so strong. I’ve got to find out why in Spain it’s difficult to make people understand that spirituality is very important. Somehow you Sahaja Yogis should show in your life that to you, life is fun because I think the Spanish are very fun-loving people. But fun which is just a temporary pleasure is not lasting. So through your lives you can show them that fun is everlasting if it is the source of Spirit.’‘You all have to go all out, as they have done in Italy and many other places. You know Italy was so much under the impression of the Catholic Church and the Christian Democratic party, and also they had a combination with the mafia. Despite that, now everything has become different. The Sahaja Yogis started going into the districts, into the smaller places, and started talking about Sahaja Yoga, telling them that they are in darkness and they have to take to light. They worked together, emphatically together, and told people emphatically that we have to be all of us to be awakened. They started giving also concerts, like you are giving, in different smaller villages. So they would use only Italian language because if you sing in Hindi or Marathi they won’t understand.

Concert of Nishat Khan, Eve of Navaratri Puja Campus, Cabella Ligure (Italy)
1994-10-08 Concert of Nishat Khan, Eve Of Navaratri Puja, Cabella, Italy Shri Mataji: His name you all you know, Nishat Khan, but somehow or other he has such a fascination for playing here, there is something very, I feel miraculous and kind of a holy alliance that I cannot explain. And he is not only a very good player and all that – artist – but very humble man, very humble. And I must say I feel shy sometimes the way he is humble to Me. You see this artist is a very great example also because many people are against each other in the artistic world very much. And some people said that he is a Muslim so why should he play anything, they are not allowed in the Koran. I said I don’t believe that. Mohammad Sahib could never have said such a thing. It is all nonsense, how could he have said such a nonsensical things, He was a very sensible personality. So all kinds of arguments people give. It shows the smallness of their mind, and also in a way they are insulting Mohammad Sahib. I feel that this kind of a taboo and nonsense has to go away. I have told many a times how difficult it is to follow the Christianity. Because Christ has said that if you commit sin it’s your one eye, take it out. Take out another eye if you make mistakes, then cut your hand if you do any Read More …
Friday Evening Program at Navaratri Puja Campus, Cabella Ligure (Italy)
Navaratri Puja, Friday evening program, presented by Switzerland, Cabella Ligure (Italy)October 7th, 1994 But this drama is such an identification of these people I feel as they call in Sanskrit language “Sahaj avastha” [unsure], the oneness.That, at the time when Shankaracharya was here, there was some intellectual, his name was Sharma and he started arguing with Shankaracharya. He said: “You are not married, you have no life as a married man, you are not belonging to the samsara, and what are you talking? It’s not so practical what you say.”So, he argued and argued with him, you see, as I have to argue with many people sometimes. [Shri Mataji is laughting] And then he gave it up.So he said: “Forget everything. Just praise the Mother.” So he wrote this. “Saundarya Lahari” was written because he said: “Everything is useless to talk, talk, talk, talk, talk and discuss. Better sing the praise of the Mother. That’s how this “Saundarya Lahari” has come.He was so fed up of the intellectuals, the people who read[Shri Mataji is laughting].This is what they have felt such a manifestation of the whole whim of mind this way. I can’t imagine how could people from Switzerland can do such a thing. But they have!May God bless you all right.May God bless you.[Applause]

The complete balance and unity I have seen in you is really amazing. This is how you are going to achieve the unity of the whole world and [unclear 1:23:41 you can transform the people ]. You can transform people so that they enjoy themselves and enjoy each other. Then We there will be no fighting, no wars but just enjoyment… of the divine love.[unclear 1:24:35 ]. May God bless you!

Evening before Shri Krishna Puja, flute concert, Cabella (Italy), 27 August 1994. [1:50:00, Shri Mataji is talking to the Indian musicians in Hindi.] [1:51:18]So, I have to thank these two great musicians who are here. You, of course, know them very well, and they have been coming here before also.
