“Heart, Vishuddhi, Agnya, Sahasrara – Becoming the Knowledge”,Public Programme, Derby (UK), 11 July 1982. I’m happy that Dr. Warren could explain to you those chakras about which I told you yesterday, because in one short lecture you can’t cover all these points. And if you get your Realization and you progress well, then you can listen to My tapes which are in hundreds, and you can understand the knowledge is vast like ocean. As I yesterday told you that when you get enlightenment, you become the knowledge. It’s a very confused statement; people don’t understand what does it mean to “become the knowledge.” The other day a gentleman came to Me and he told Me that “My guru has already given me the knowledge.” I said, “How?” “Because he told me, ‘I’ve given you the knowledge.’” I said, “But still, how is it, it is knowledge? How do you believe that he has given you the knowledge?” So he said, “No Mother, he touched me on my forehead and I saw a light.” I said, “Then still, you can see the light otherwise also. How is it you have got the knowledge?” So he started thinking about it. He said that “What should happen If I get the knowledge?” I said, “See, this is another person sitting next to you, he is a Sahaja Yogi. He knows what Kundalini is; also he knows how to raise your Kundalini. He knows what is your problem, what your chakras are catching. He Read More …

Guru Puja, “Establishing the Guru Principle”   Nightingale Lane Ashram, London (UK), July 4th, 1982 Shri Mataji: Please, be seated. Who’s going to translate Me? Yogi: Gregoire. Shri Mataji: Why don’t you take one of these, Gregoire? Warren: Mother, that is the public address microphone – they won’t be able to hear You. This is for the recording on the tape. Shri Mataji: Then how will they hear him? Will it…? Warren: Mother has to have this one… Gregoire: Should I hold it and sit here, Mother, in front? Shri Mataji: Yes, yes. Then – how will you translate? Gregoire: In French, most of them… Shri Mataji: But loudly. Gregoire: Yes, Mother. Shri Mataji: I think, why don’t you stand up,  and see there – you can stand up there. (Gregoire: “Near there?”) Yes, there. (Gregoire: “OK”) And you can talk loudly, that’s a better idea. Be careful about that. There’s a flame there. Yogi: Just excuse me, Mother. Shri Mataji: I’ve got a problem (unclear. Maybe with the microphone). (To a little girl:) May God bless you. Yes, yes! Oh, thank you, thank you. Aradhana has come. Go and see them. There, there! In the most auspicious time that is called as Krita Yuga, we all have assembled here to understand the ways and methods of establishing our Principle of a Master. Krita Yuga. “Krita Yuga” means the time when you have to do something – “krita: when it was done.” So you are the channels of that doing, doing Read More …

Advice on Right Side Brighton Pavilion, Brighton (England)

Public Program Day 2. Brighton (UK), 14 May 1982. Shri Mataji: Oh, I would suggest that first let them ask questions today. So I keep myself there…If you have any questions, it’s better to ask me first. So that your mind is at rest. I’m glad to stand…better to see people better. Am I better here or on the ground? Now, first of all it’s better to ask the questions because yesterday when we started this question session people got little deviated. It’s better to ask questions now, what you have, because you are all seekers. You are all seekers and you have been seeking so is best is to ask questions now so I’ll be able to put the answer in between My lecture. No questions? That means Sahaja Yogis have become quite capable of explaining Sahaja Yoga and I’m very proud of them. When I went to Australia the newspaper people asked Me, “Mother, are all Your disciples scholars?” I said, “No, they are very common people. They have to be very common and normal people.” But they said, “The way they know things, surprisingly we feel they are all scholars.” I said, “All scholarship is within yourself.” All the knowledge is within yourself. If you only can get light there, you can see all that knowledge is within you. You don’t have to go anywhere for your knowledge. It’s all inside, everything is built in. You are built in so beautifully to become your Spirit that I Read More …

Easter Puja and Havan, The Creation of Lord Jesus Nirmala Palace - Nightingale Lane Ashram, London (England)

Easter Puja, “The Creation of Lord Jesus”. Nightingale Lane Ashram, London (UK), 11 April 1982. I’ll talk before and then at the time you can just tell me what time it is. The radio is off? You can keep it till eight o’clock and… So happy to wait on you [Shri Mataji smiles to the sahaja yogis and does namasté]. Today we are celebrating a day which is a very, very important, absolutely the most important, we can say, day, when such a great happening took place. And it had to take place that way – it was all in a way destined. In my last lectures I have told you how Christ was created first in the heavens. In the Devi Mahatmya, if you read that, He was created as Mahavishnu and is mentioned very clearly, that first He was created as an egg. It is written in this book, which perhaps was written about 14,000 years back. It’s a book that predicts about Christ, and that is why people in the West, specially, offer an egg to each other as a friend. The first existence came on this Earth as an egg, that was Christ, and part of it was kept in that state and the rest of it was used by the Holy Ghost, by Mahalakshmi, to create Christ out of it. In that ancient book He was called as Mahavishnu; means the greater form of Vishnu. But actually Vishnu is the father and He is the Read More …

Preparation for Becoming, Evening Seminar Old Alresford Place, Alresford (England)

Author2 Comments

Seminar in Old Alresford 1980 (England), 17 May 1980. Face yourself for becoming. Then the preparation is done to become something and on the whole, when you know that it is your ego and superego which are loading you up, you have to scan them out with vibratory awareness. Now there are two types of attention we have to pay. First is a constant attention that is a routine of a Sahaja Yogi, and the second one is the emergency attention.I have been saying that all the Sahaja Yogis must start writing their diaries: one with every day’s experiences, if you know that you have to write a diary, you’ll keep your mind alert, and another one whenever you get any special idea of the past or of the future, also to jot it down. So, like that, you should have two diaries. For your constant attention, you have to fix up your mind on certain pegs. The first one, as I said, that if you keep a diary then you will know that you have to remember what important things have happened. So your attention will be alert and you will be looking out for such points, where, what is the thing you see. And you’ll be amazed, if you make your attention alert, what new things come to you – very brilliant ideas. And the miracles of life and the miracles of God’s beauty and His auspiciousness, His greatness, His kindness, His blessings – how they work out Read More …

Advice for Effortless Meditation London (England)

Author6 Comments

Advice for Effortless Meditation. London (UK), 1 January 1980. In the same way the vibrations, the vibrations are coming, they are radiated. What you have to do is to expose yourself to it. The best is not to put in any effort. Don’t worry at what point you have a problem. Say, many people during meditation, I have seen if they catch somewhere they go on looking after it. You just don’t have to worry. You just let it go and it will work by itself. Is going easy? So you don’t have to put in any effort. This is what meditation is. Meditation means exposing yourself to God’s grace. Now the grace itself knows how to cure you. It knows how to mend you, how to settle down itself into your own being, keep your Spirit kindled. It knows everything. So you don’t have to worry as to what you have to do or what name you have to take, what mantras you have to do. In meditation you have to be absolutely effortless, expose yourself fully and you have to be absolutely thoughtless at that time. Supposing there’s a possibility, you may not be thoughtless. At that time you have to just watch your thoughts, but don’t get involved into them. You will find gradually as the sun rises, the darkness goes away and the sun’s rays go into every crevice and every part and makes the whole place lighted. In the same way your being will be Read More …

Guru Puja: The Declaration of Shri Mataji London (England)

Author1 Comment

Guru Puja, “The Declaration of Shri Mataji”. Dollis Hill ashram, London, England. 2 December 1979. A month back, I told Rustom that, “You must have a puja arranged, this Sunday. It’s a full moon day”. And he asked Me, “What should you call it? Is it a Guru Puja? Or is it a Puja for Mahalakshmi, or Ganesha’s Puja?” So, I told him, “Call it a Guru Puja”. And he asked Me later on, much later, when I was going to India, that, “Why not also have the Christmas Puja over here?” Today is a very, important day. Because, long time back, when Christ was just a child, He read from the Scriptures, and declared to the multitudes, that He was the Advent – the incarnation, who is the Savior. They believed that a Savior is going to come. Today, long time back, on a Sunday, He said, He declared that He was the Savior. That’s why today is the Advent Sunday. He had to live for a very, very short time. So, at a very young age He had to declare that He was the Advent. Now it is remarkable to see, that before this, no incarnation said publicly, that, they were incarnations. Rama of course, had forgotten that He was an incarnation. In a way, He made Himself to forget, played His maya upon Himself to become a complete human being – Maryada Purushottama. And Shri Krishna also only told, one person Arjuna, just before he was to Read More …
