Raksha Bandhan and Shri Ganesha Puja Dr. Vinod Worlikar's House, Cerritos (United States)

Raksha Bandhan. Los Angeles (USA), 7 August 1990. So, this day is extremely important in a way for Sahaja Yogis to observe and I’m happy that I am here because it’s very important also for America. As I told you that, I have already talked to you how the war between Alexander and Poros was finished because of a sister’s intervention. And also how Shri Krishna whose sister was Draupadi, Vishnumaya was born as Draupadi and how He came to save Her chastity by rushing all the way from Dwarika. So, you can see that when we ascend in the collective consciousness and we have collective living, collective meeting at the Vishuddhi Chakra, Shri Krishna establish this, or He manifested this pure relationship of a sister. In a collective life that we have, in the Ashram where we live, where we move about as Sahaja Yogis, if we do not have this basic principle within us, there will be a chaos, complete chaos. Once this purity of relationship is established, that apart from my wife, all the rest are my sisters or mothers, it cannot be a proper society and the chaos of the social system of America is because they have no sense of pure relationships. Once you call somebody a sister, she’s a sister. And once you call somebody a brother, she’s (FYI -Mother does say She’s – we double checked) a brother. It’s not only that you should be born of the same parents, it’s not necessary, Read More …

Raksha Bandhan and Maryadas Montague Hall, Hounslow (England)

Raksha Bandhan and maryadas. Hounslow, London (UK), 11 August 1984. After the great tour of UK I feel very confident that Sahaja Yoga is taking its roots, and you can see some of the plants coming up. It’s surprising, when I declared that it may be the last tour I’ll be doing of UK that things have started working out. Everywhere we went it was very good and successful, specially certain places it was very miraculous. You must have heard about the lady who would not go out of her house, was suffering from agoraphobia, and the press challenged us that she should be cured because she can’t go out of the house. And only on her photograph and treatment she got cured, and now she’s walking about, and they have given a big report saying that ‘The Guru fulfills Her promise’. This is one of them and there are many things have happened of this kind, of which you should get the report. I must say I found all the sahaja yogis very cooperative, very alert, very helpful and extremely progressive. And I was happy that they are trying to come up and improve themselves, build themselves up, and are doing much better than what I had expected, really. I was very, very enamored by all of them, and I hope that by the time it is 12 years, we’ll be all absolutely top class sahaja yogis of the world. Now today is a very great day of Raksha Read More …

Raksha bandhan Ceremony Tannay Ashram, Tannay (Switzerland)

Rakshabandhan Ceremony. Tannay (Switzerland), 23 August 1983. I said: ‘No we have to put it down that’s all.’ He said: “How do you do Mother?’ I said: ‘Very simple, three times you have to go round.’ And I put it aside one, two, three. And then he started seeing you know, storm clouds and big formations. And so we arrive here with the rain, running out in the rain, and very cool temperature. All wet. But the thing is, Nature is easy to control… So today is a very great day, when I arrived here, is the day of Guru – today is the Purnima, is the full moon day of Rakshabandhan, the day when the brother is tied with that [INAUDIBLE] You must show them. So I brought for you all. Tied in the hands of brother, by a sister, for the protection of the brother. And we have a very nice story about it. When Alexander the Great invaded our country, he married an Indian lady, and after certain wars he was arrested by a King called [INAUDIBLE: Kuru?] in Punjab and his wife got desperate. So she sent one rahki like this in a thali like that with the cover [INAUDIBLE] Now when he – that was the day of Rakshabandhan – so, what they did, he lifted the cover and saw a rahki, which was presented to him. And on that day you cannot refuse. So he asked the carrier man to give the rahki to Read More …
