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 …

Evening Program and Raksha Bandhan Ceremony, Southlands College, London (England), 1985-08-30 Today on this auspicious day of Rakhipurnima, we have to thank all the artists who have really created such a marvelous, beautiful dance drama in your presence, especially to Mr. Pawar, his wife, his daughter, you are very much obliged, plus the other artist, and so on. Shri Markandey Mishra, and also Baluji Shrivastava, all these people have shown very great artistic talent today, and it’s a very special day. On this day, we all, as brothers and sisters, are sitting here to watch something so beautifully expressed in the realm of brotherly and sisterly love. So whatever has gone wrong or is better, we all must learn to forgive, that’s important. And the sister always forgives, we all must forgive, and we should be extremely loving and protective, that is the Raksha for our artist who are in England. I feel sometimes that the people who have come from abroad and who are artists in England are to be looked after in the same way all the artists of the world must be looked after and must be encouraged and nourished and cherished so that they take to proper divine manifestation of divine music and drama, everything that is beautiful and pure. So on this day, I especially would like to bless all of them for a higher ascent and in a greater way to express themselves in full ecstasy, the joy of God’s blessings on them as 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 …

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, put three times left to the right.’ 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…Human beings are difficult. Do you want to wash my feet? Water first, little water…(inaudible) So today is a very great day, when I arrive here, is the day of Guru – today is the Purnima, is the full moon day, the day when the brother is tied with that (bandhan?) Let me 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 Kuru in Punjab and his wife got desperate. So she sent one rakhi like this in a plate(?) like that with the cover in a pot. Now when he – that was the day of Rakshabandhan – so, what they did, he lifted the cover and saw a rakhi, which was presented to him. And on that day you Read More …
