Shri Krishna Havan Hallowtree Scout Campsite, Ipswich (England)
Shri Krishna Havan, 1990-08-18 So we have today a special day for America and Canada this Havan I was thinking we should specially dedicate to the awakening of American and Canadian people. On one side all modernism has given us so many things for Sahaja yoga for example, this loudspeaker, this one, then we have little planes that I can travel, at the time of Christ nobody could think of that. Then we have television and one can give Realization on television. So many things there are. So, the quality of communication which is the quality of Virata of the Vishuddhi Chakra is being manifested and we are using it and is of a great help to Sahaja yoga. This is on one side. On the other side I find there are certain recognitions which we have got from America which we could not get anywhere. For example, we have got these procession of a church, which is the highest as a religion in America. That we could not have got anywhere else. I mean, in England you cannot even think of it. In England only there is only one religion and that is [unclear text] and the situation is on the other side now. So, the freedom which we have used has given us lots of benefits and also whatever things we have used which have come out of their communication advancement has helped us a lot. But these things are also used by other people so there is Read More …

Havan conducted by Shri Mataji Bordi (India)
Havan in Bordi (India), February 12th, 1984 Now I will explain to you what is the principle of Havanis. You see, the principle of havan comes from the basic quality of the fire. The fire is the one that consumes everything. So, for the consumption of everything that is bad in us, or defective in us, or cold within us or that is making us lethargic, making us anti-God or any such things which we do not want to have in Sahaja Yoga, is to be consumed by fire. Now for that, we have to use something to extract. And to extract it, what we do is to take the name of the Goddess. So She, in thousand names, the thousand powers within us are awaken. And by every power, you try to cleanse one of the nadis that you have. Actually, we have sixteen thousand nadis within us, only on the Vishudhi chakra. But the main one thousand nadis which are of the Sahasrara, if they are cleared out, then all the nadis can be cleared out. So, what we are doing, we are taking the names of the Goddess, by which we are expressing or we are trying to innovate or awaken a particular power of the Goddess, by which we try to use the – what you call- for the consummation power of the fire. So, the power, that is the Mother’s power, liberates and cleanses a one of the Sahasrara, one of the, you can say, Read More …

Now this prayer that he is going to read to you was written about 14,000 years back and see how detailed it is described about Christ and it is described in a book called Devi Purana by Markandeya and is called as Devi Bhagwat. So, you can see all these things written there. So to know about Christ we cannot limit ourselves to Bible, because he was such a great personality that you cannot contain him in a little book like Bible you see, so you have to go to other scriptures also and keep your mind open about it, so now he will read it out to you and with that they will wash my feet so this Read More …

Havan With 108 Names Of Shri Vishnu Chelsham Road Ashram, London (England)
Shri Mataji: [Marathi?] Today is the combination of Shri Krishna, this one (is) his face and this is his dress. Ah, I think someone should go and find out from… Joan [Mother calls a Yogi]. Her sweater, her sweater is with … she said she has given to Olympia her blue sweater. Light blue Child: Light blue Shri Mataji: What are the words, Vishnu’s names, in English. Better take it in English, better. (Mother talks to a baby-child [Marathi?]. Ah, better take her. Take the names. In English they are easy to take I think. Only the first, one should take them. Ah, does somebody has a shawl, [Marathi?] Ne, it’s alright. Actually we should have Rasaali (?) playing with that, it would be nice, it doesn’t matter. These are the names of Vishnu, because Vishnu only achieved the status of Shri Krishna who in his own life time expresses his complete form of Virata. Complete form of Virata. And this is a very good understanding, if you know that you are also, start the dharma, establish your Dharma and then you become a witness, and then you become part and parcel of the whole, the Virata.

Havan after Adi Shakti Puja: Understand the significance of Havan Cowley Manor, Cheltenham (England)
Havan after Adi Shakti Puja 1982-08-01 04:10 Shri Mataji: Now, let’s understand the significance, all right? Now, he said a word ‘Swaha’. ‘Swaha’ is the capacity of the Nabhi Chakra. That is – it burns everything. The capacity! You can say ‘the essence’. It burns up everything. Whatever you put of the fire, it burns up. That’s one. Second it purifies. Say, if you have got mixed up gold and you put it in the fire, it glances. It burn something, it does not burn something – discriminate. It has got discrimination. It has got brilliance. Fire also has another great capacity, that it goes against the gravity. And when it goes against the gravity, it suggests that there can be another energy that can go against the gravity and that is the Kundalini. Many people confused with Kundalini the Prana Shakti. They thought, because Prana Shakti is the child of fire. They could only related to Kundalini. They thought that Kundalini and Prana Shakti are the same, because Kundalini also goes against the gravity. Then it has capacity to give you brilliance. A person who do this fire can use it to polishing things into brilliant, to its brilliance. It has capacity to join by melt it. Like human beings are like steel, worse than that sometimes. Then it’s this part in a subtle way for heart, melts their heart and joins them. So the significance of fire is expressed here, and that’s why fire is worshipped. Fire has Read More …
Havan and Ajwan after the Bhoomi Puja Derby (England)
Talk before Havan after the Bhoomi Puja [PROBABLY A PART IS MISSING] Sahaja Yoga is such a light that you start seeing things so clearly. You understand who is the person, who is the positive, who is the person who is negative. The other day as we were discussing the writers we could feel those people who were positive, who were realized souls and those who were now not and how some of the people were affected. We are not impressed by how many books they have printed or how much popularity they have got or how much money they have earned or how much intellectual acrobats it gives us. What we feel is the – even not without vibrations, without feeling the vibrations, the light is such that you start understanding that this person is negative and whatever he wrote was negative or he was trying to do something absurd and [Aside: Maybe some other time. That’s all.] or whether he was influenced by someone or he was himself a very bad man. Everything becomes so clear-cut. You start understanding every sort of an action in a proper light and by that you understand what, what is the problem and how it should be attacked. Now, you see, how people are identified with wrong type of people and how they start acting with that identification becomes very obvious. For example, there is Mr. X who is a negative person. Now there are some people who are identified with that Read More …

Shri Lalita Havan Sydney (Australia)
Talk after Shri Lalita Havan. Sydney (Australia), 7 April 1981. [Whether] it is [seen?]. It is this when the Holy Ghost came in the form of the cold breeze. Like this. (H.H Shri Mataji blows air into and mike and everyone laughs) [The Power? had] [left no doubt].Now I have blessed you all. But the problem is, if it is a formless and there is nobody to decode. There has to be a decoding, explaining, isn’t it? And that’s how there are lots of mistakes committed by them also. Because they didn’t understand that blessing should be their capacity, their vision and dream about it. But to communicate, with the people to communicate with the Spirit, to understand the Kundalini the vibrations and their different decodings and all that. The Holy Spirit had to come with a mouth and with a voice and with an intelligence that is intelligible to you with the knowledge and everything. Otherwise, it is not possible to communicate. And that’s why somebody has to come and you have to just recognize. Recognition is the best way of understanding the powers that are given to you. You have been given powers, no doubt. But these powers, even if somebody gets realization like Buddha got realization he thought that there is no God. He did not believe in God because he just got realization through a formless uhh formless wind you can say. And he just did not know, he even did not talk about Kundalini, he did not Read More …
Havan after Guru Puja with 115 Names of the Sat Guru London (England)
115 Names of the Sat Guru Translated by Shri Mataji, on the 2nd December 1979, on the occasion of Guru Puja, where Shri Mataji declared that She is the Adi Shakti. These beautiful names, which were translated by Shri Mataji Herself, have unfortunately been altered and modified over the years. Previously known as the 113 names, two names were missed out. Now, as best as could possibly be done, the Sanskrit names have been corrected to how they were originally said on the day and Shri Mataji’s translation transcribed, to as close as possible to Her original translation. 1 Bhavaya…………………………………………He is the emotions 2 Sattvatmane…………………Whose atma has expressed the truth 3 Sattvasagaraya…………………………Who is the ocean of truth 4 Sattvavidhe…………………………..Who knows the pure vidya 5 Sattvasakshine……………….He is the one who sees the essence 6 Sattvasatyaya………………………Who meditates on the essences 7 Amaradhipaya………………………………..He is the eternal lord 8 Bhutakrute……………………He is the one who creates the past 9 Bhutaprete…………………………………He is the killer of the past 10 Bhutatmane…………………………He is the essence of the past 11 Bhutasambhavaya……………………Who incarnates as the past 12 Bhutabhavaya………He is the emotions of all that is so far created 13 Bhavaya…………………………………..……..He is the emotions 14 Bhutavide…………Who is an expert in all the vidyas that have been so far 15 Bhutakaranaya……………He is the cause of all that is created 16 Bhutasakshine……………………He is the witness of all that is created 17 Prabhutaye………He is the one who enlightens all that is created 18 Bhutanangparamagataye………………..The one who takes all that is created beyond 19 Bhutasangavidhatmane……….The one Read More …
Shri Brahmadeva havan – Prajapati yagnya: Lord of Creatures Mumbai (India)
Shri Brahmadeva havan- Prajapati yagnya: Lord of Creatures, Mumbai, India, 1976-03-02 Translated from Hindi: In this world, the greatest illusion is that of learned fools. Learned fools are those whom Kabirdas has described as “Padhi padhi pandit murakh bhaye” [as they went on reading, the pundits turned into fools]. This is why I was afraid to write a book and now that I have thought of writing one, it should not fall into the hands of such great fools. These people are like a person who has not been to some country and tells all false things about that country to the whole world. He says, “I had been there and I saw that thing and this was here and that was there and someone said this and someone said that.” He does not have an experience of his own. But you who are Sahaja Yogis, have got this experience. The vibrations have spurted from within you and this means that this chaitanya is flowing. You have felt the experience of what chaitanya is. You are sitting in a great position. Those people can give great speeches, can describe this chaitanya, can read great shlokas [Sanskrit verses] but they don’t have even a wee bit of experience and are quite far from God’s Kingdom while you have entered it already. There is a special reason for it. You would have read that Shri Ganesha was born only through His Mother. Before creating this creation, itself, She had given birth to Read More …
