Christmas Puja, Ganapatipule (India), 25 December 2000 [Shri Mataji speaks first in Hindi for about sixteen minutes] [Scanned from Divine Cool Breeze – Translation from Hindi to English] The reason for celeberaling this auspicious day is the birth of the Christ. Very little is known about Jesus Christ because in young age he left his house and after returning he lived only up to the age of thirty year But dunng this short period he did tremendous work After his death, his twelve disciples spread Christianity. They also faced problems as you have to face sometimes But these twelve disciples did tremendous work. Their followers. In the beginning, were known as Gnostics, meaning ‘Those who have known’ The origin of this word is from ‘Gna’ meaning To Know’ These people were harassed and tortured by the priests of that time So in the beginning it was very difficult to convince people of Christ s thoughts People were not seif realised Jesus Christ had said it again and again ‘Know Thyself. ‘Know Thyself Without realising the significance of self realisation people started spreading the religion. Without knowing the Self, religion could not be spread because gradually such religion becomes Adharmas Same thing happened with Christian religion It is written that Jesus Chnst went to a wedding party There he put his finger in the water and converted it tn to wine It is written in Hebrew language thatthe taste of this water changed in to that of the wine. ‘Wine’ in Hebrew Read More …

Birthday Puja: Mind is a Myth thumbnail

Birthday Puja: Mind is a Myth New Delhi (India)

Author2 Comments

Puja of the 73rd Birthday, “Mind is a myth”. Delhi (India), 21 March 1996. Translation from Hindi You are celebrating My birthday with so much love, reverence and respect.  Seeing this I think what have I done that you are showing so much love. Today I am going to tell you a very unusual fact, that this notion within us which we call as mind, is a myth.  The myth being, that when we are born, there is no such thing as mind within us.  As we gradually start performing actions, the outward reactions are of two kinds.  Either something becomes an impression or experience; or a consciousness of being the doer (ego) gets awakened within us.  Then from those come the tendencies which accumulate inside us like bubbles of thoughts, which create an artificial or bogus institution, which is so limited that they cannot comprehend the beauty, glory and expanse of reality.  All these things are created by us, and then we become slaves of it. For example we created the watch, and now we have become complete slaves of it.  In Sahaja Yoga you become Kaal-ateet, means you go beyond time.  Times moves along with you.  You do not run after time. Now people have started making computers, and they have become enslaved by it.  And in that enslavement, they have become so obsessed with it, that they are not able to realise that they are completely in its clutches.  Which is controlling them.  They are completely dependent Read More …

Shri Mahalakshmi Puja: Always Introspect thumbnail

Shri Mahalakshmi Puja: Always Introspect Wamuran Ashram, Brisbane (Australia)

“The Mahalakshmi Principle,” Shri Mahalakshmi Puja, Brisbane (Australia), February 20th, 1992 Something wrong. Who has made those with the things…You should put more of cotton in that, you see, slips back. Can you get it done by the…For pujas you must use Indian girls, [is] better. They know all these things better you see. They said that, “Nobody asked us.” So they just sit on the fence (laughing). They would think that, “We should not come forward, because they’ll think these people are talking too much, these Indians,” So, I mean, when they have to come they should come. You can see, yesterday’s film, that we have a tradition, you see, we know all these things, isn’t it? This has been there in that country, so they should tell you, and you should not mind that. They also have the same fear as you have that they will say, “You have an ego”. I don’t know how to go about with anything It’s quite warm. It’s alright. I’ll teach you how to make this, alright? May God bless you. Today I was thinking that we’ll do the puja to Mahalakshmi, will be better. So that we’ll understand what Vishwa Nirmala Dharma is. As you know, the Mahalakshmi Principle lies within all of you, in the centre. And once you are fed up with the falsehood, and also with the hypocrisy of people, you start seeking the truth within. That’s how a new category of people are born, who are called Read More …

Christmas Puja: Reach Completion of Your Realization thumbnail

Christmas Puja: Reach Completion of Your Realization Pune (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

Christmas Puja. Pune (India), 25 December 1987. [English Translation from Marathi – missing] [English Transcript] Today is the great day, when a great son of the Goddess was born, at least it is celebrated today. And you are all assembled here to celebrate the birthday of Christ. You already know how He came on this earth, and what was His great work. But we must see to the subtle side of Christ. What was His power? Christ’s power was, of course, Omkara. His power was Pranava. But the essence of Christ was tapasya, tapasvita. He is the incarnation of tapasya, and in that incarnation is a sinless personality. He’s sinless. Of course incarnations never commit sins. But apparently things that look like sins are also not in His life story. Like one can say that Shri Rama gave up His wife, so it is a sinful thing. Of course those who understand the subtleties of Shri Rama’s life will know that it’s stupid to say such a thing. Or Shri Krishna’s life, they might say He married so many women. But in Christ’s life you do not find anything that could be pointed out as a mistake, even a slightest mistake. It’s a very straightforward life, absolutely pure life and doing no commitments of ambiguous nature. But it’s very surprising that Christianity is just the opposite of what Christ wanted it to be. They painted Him so differently, brought Him out so differently and made a mess of His life. Read More …

Devi Puja: Complete your Self-realisation thumbnail

Devi Puja: Complete your Self-realisation Aurangabad (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

Complete your Self-realisation, Puja in Aurangabad (India), 19 or 17 December 1987. I am sorry, I was dealing with some newspaper people, journalists, and they came very late, whatever it is. I found them to be very sensible and very understanding. All of us have come to Aurangabad now, and it seems this place is full of vibrations. Maybe here Shalivahana has ruled in this area, but also there have been many saints who were born on this side of Maharashtra, and they perpetuated Dharma. They always talked about self-realization. Dharma gives you the balance. It gives you the establishment into proper behaviour, proper understanding, proper living, but it doesn’t give you the completion of your journey. It doesn’t give you the satisfaction of reaching the destination. And your personality is still incomplete. So, one has to have the experience of the spirit. As I was discussing with them today, I told them that those who do not have … the experience of the spirit … are not only incomplete, but are limited people. So, whatever they see, or whatever they know, or whatever they criticize, is limited. As in English we say that “hate the sin and not the sinner”. Like many people who find something wrong with Christianity start blaming Christ. Christ did not created Christianity, first of all. He did not create Christianity. He did not create Christians. So, there is no relationship between the two. As you know, recently, they have found out the books written Read More …

False Gurus and Conditionings thumbnail

False Gurus and Conditionings New Delhi (India)

AuthorLeave a comment

Public Program, Delhi (India), 29 Jauary 1983. I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset, I would like to thank the great artist Savita Devi who has given us the pleasure of listening to her beautiful exposition of God’s blessings and the desire of a seeker like Surdas. I am really thankful to her for setting a mood this program and bringing it to that melodious concord. What Dr. Warren has told you is very true, that susanskaras can be confused with kusanskaras. Actually anything that is done in extremes is against God. For example, before realization there is no ascent, there is no evolution of your being, of your awareness. In your human awareness whatever you have achieved is expressed in your central nervous system. As you know, an animal does not know, what is dirt, filth or beauty is. But a human being is aware of that. But the human being has to ascend into a new awareness, into new chetna. So, whatever has to happen has to happen in our awareness. The simple thing people do not understand. And that is why the reason why people go to extremes in everything is indulgence. For example, supposing somebody has said that better take Rama’s name, simple thing like that in our Indian Culture. That means you do not take bad names, do not say bad words, say a good word like Shri Rama. But when it comes to taking his name, one has to Read More …

We are all seeking Caxton Hall, London (England)

AuthorLeave a comment

Public program, “We are all seeking”, Caxton Hall, London, 20 March 1978. Gregoire has said so many things that I really don’t know what to say after that. Really dumbfounded. I know it’s a fact and you have to face it, though I’m bashful about it. You were all seeking, and I think, from the time I remember, I haven’t met anyone who was not seeking. They may be seeking in money, in power. But so many of them were really seeking something beyond. In the West, I always felt all the great sages of the old and the ancient times who were seeking God, are born. I could see, the way you have  abhorred materialism; the way you have achieved a kind of a understanding about life, is a new thing. At the time of Christ, it was not possible to see such people except for some lepers and some sickly people. There was nobody else who was willing to look at Him. Times have changed no doubt. But, in this seeking, many people have committed lots of mistakes. Mistakes can be forgiven always. They should be rectified. I’ve been born with this. I knew I had to do this and I knew I had to be in London one day. All the people who are of a very high, evolved status, I can say, who do not live in the humdrum of life, who do not roam about as gurus and earn money, who do not claim to Read More …
