Public Program Day 3 New Delhi (India)
1985-02-14 Public Program in Delhi: Pingala Nadi and the Power of Action, Delhi
Agnya Chakra New Delhi (India)
Agnya Chakra, Public Programme, Delhi (India), 17 March 1984. I bow to all the seekers of truth. I want to wish you happy Holi today. It’s a very joyous day for all of us and I told you about Vishuddhi chakra yesterday where resides Shri Krishna and why He started the festival of Holi. As I told you before this is the knowledge of the roots, while whatever knowledge we have in the colleges, medical college, colleges of psychology and other sciences which deal with human beings on scientific research and scientific data’s, is the knowledge of the tree. So to become the knowledge of the roots we have to become subtler people. With human awareness we cannot dive down into ourselves. For example, you’re all paying attention to Me but if I say that, “Take your attention inside” you cannot take it. You’ll say, “How to do it?” It doesn’t go inside. Our attention is spread outside. That is how we are made specially that we should put our attention outside and understand the value of our freedom. As human beings we are free to choose right and wrong. We have through traditions developed lot of correct ideas about right and wrong but there have been lots of saints and seers who have given us a complete idea about what is right and what is wrong. Despite that we find it difficult to be righteous, to be virtuous, to be what that we believe in. We see something, we Read More …
Public Program and Debu Chaudhuri plays raag Kambhoji on sitar New Delhi (India)
Debu Chaudhuri plays raag Kambhoji on sitar, in the presence of Shri Mataji in a public program in Delhi, Feb 8th 1983, (part 2)Followed by a Hindi talk given by Shri Mataji. The sitar represents the Sahasrara chakra. Sahaja Yogis want to give a cushion to Shri Mataji but She refuses.Then they want to garland Her and She asks them instead to garland the artist.Everybody applauds.But Debu Chaudhuri refuses to be garlanded in place of Shri Mataji so he puts the garland around the head of his student (who is playing tempura). Everybody laughs.A senior Sahaja Yogi makes a small speech: My dear brothers and sisters, music is the nearest thing to God on earth. Mataji has often said the way to please God and His devotees is through music sound of devotion…He introduces the tabla player, an equally renowned artist.Shri Mataji seems to explain to Debu Chaudhuri that it is not a puja but a spiritual event. Shri Mataji: Now, I must say, that artist himself being a Realized soul, I’m just working on your Kundalini, I need not speak much. It’s working out. So don’t get impatient, this is also, is a silent speech of God’s music. So you just don’t get impatient about it.I’am also enjoying very much.May God bless you.Since Kambhoji, he’s going to play just now. Debu Chaudhuri: Well, it is my great pleasure, in a way, I requested Mataji to give Her blessings to all of you, instead of playing. [Shri Mataji is laughing.] Read More …
False Gurus and Conditionings New Delhi (India)
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 …

Kundalini is like a primule coming out of a seed Madrid, Embassy of India (Spain)
Public Program, 1982, June 1st – Indian Embassy in Madrid, Part 1 Now this power lies within us, it’s called as Kundalini. She lies in the triangular bone. Now look at that, this bone is even in English called, in the medical terminology, as “sacrum”. And “sacrum” means sacred, that is, in Greece people knew about it. When I went to Greece with my husband I was really amazed because they took me to this Delphi and also to the Temple of the Primordial Mother. And the Primordial Mother was called as “Athina” while “Ata” in Sanskrit means “the primordial”, just imagine. They have so much Sanskrit. And she had this Kundalini in her hand, like this, with all the chakras. I went to Delphi and there I saw, they said, “This is the centre, the navel of the universe.” I’ve told them much before that Europe is the navel, navel chakra of the universe. And there they said, “This is what is, has been, since long.” I said, “Really?” And I found that the cool breeze was coming out and the vibrations were there. But just I tell now. I saw a little statue of Shri Ganesha because it has got tremendous vibrations. So I asked the lady who was interpreting, I said, “What do we find here?” – “Nothing, it is a little elephant sitting down there.” Imagine, since long it has been there. Then I wanted to find out how did they know about these things which Read More …
Spanish Radio Interview Madrid (Spain)
Spanish Radio Interview, 1982, June 1st Madrid [pre-interview] Shri Mataji: It’s the real baptism. It’s the real baptism. You actually feel the bones becoming soft, on your head, and the cool breeze of the Holy Ghost starts coming out of your head. It’s alright? Interviewer: Yes. We will ask you how many persons practice Sahaja Yoga? Shri Mataji: How many? In the world, lots of them. But Spain is the last place, I should say. Even we have Portugal, many people practising. In London, lots of them. America, everywhere. In India, in the villages – thousands. People practice it en-masse because you just become that, it’s becoming. Shri Mataji: We should tell them also about the fake gurus and the cure because we cure nice people who are affected by them. [interview starts at min 3:28] Interviewer: [Presents Shri Mataji in Spanish]. Good afternoon. Shri Mataji: Good afternoon. Interviewer: What is Sahaja Yoga? Shri Mataji: “Saha” means “with”, “ja” is “born with you”, it is born with you. And “yoga” means union with the Divine. And this right – to be one with the Divine, is born with you. So you have a right to be born again which is promised in the scriptures. So you have to be born again. And this system is built within you but it happens that you become that. As you have become a human being from an animal state, you become divine by this happening. A new awareness comes into you, a new Read More …
Once you get your Realization everything becomes logical Gandhi Bhawan, New Delhi (India)
Public Program Day 2 at Gandhi Bhavan, New Delhi, India, February 22nd, 19821982-02-22 […]The creation of Kailasha took place. We Indians worship Kailash as the residence of Shiva, Sadashiva, God Almighty who is eternal. First, the Parabrahma, the Nirakara, the One that is without forms was in a sleeping state. When it awakened, it is called as Sadashiva. At that stage, his Power became the Adi Shakti, the Primordial Mother, we can call Her the Holy Ghost. This Primordial Mother created her creation to please the Sadashiva which was no more but a witness to this spectacle. He was the spectator. I will not go into the details of creation today but one has to remember that all that is created is a deliberation and is not an accident.Later on, Adi Shakti created three Powers out of Herself which you know: the Power of desire, the Power of action and the Power of evolution or dharma. These three Powers were created out of the pure desire that She had, to be one with her Lord, God Almighty Sadashiva.This desire resides within us as Kundalini, the fourth, fourth power within us – as the Kundalini- which is sleeping in the triangular bone.As Ghopal has told, recently, that people don’t know how to raise the Kundalini and don’t know how to guide it. Actually, Kundalini can only be risen by a person who is an authority, spiritual authority or could be through the Adi Kundalini itself. I told you yesterday how in Read More …
Action and Desire Niphad (India)
Conversation with Yogis, India tour, Niphad, (India), 6 February 1982. (Shri Mataji has involved the audience in the talk so the whole talk is very informative & interactive):Tape 1 Shri Mataji: You are better off now?Shri Mataji: Do you get this Jaggery, the one you ate in London?Audience: Yes, MotherShri Mataji: You get in England? I never saw this Jaggery.Audience: Yes Mother in Indian shops not in English shopsShri Mataji: In Indian but shops not in English shops.Audience: Yes Mother.Shri Mataji: Ha but not in English shops as such.This jaggery is a very good thing when you come out from somewhere like dusty places or something with sore throat and you take a little bit of jaggery and drink some water. It’s a very good idea. See one should take to simple medicines because if you take to antibiotics and this that nonsense then you become very weak and you have to, it has a reaction and then you have to take something else for the reaction, funny thing, it is antibiotic, it is, bio means life and it is anti life.People chatting/ Laughing.

The Power of Brahma New Delhi (India)
“The Power of Brahma”, Public Program, Delhi (India), 11 March 1981. I have told you, the other day that these vibrations are nothing but the Brahmashakti , the power of Brahma. The power of Brahma is the power that creates, .that desires, that evolves and it gives the living force also. It is the power which is giving us the living force. Now, it is not easy to understand what is a dead force and what is a living force. Living force is very simple to understand. An animal, say a little worm, is a living force. It can turn itself the way it likes. It can save itself from danger. It may be a small little thing, but because it is living it can save itself. But something which is dead cannot move by itself. So, the “Self” part does not remain in it, as far as it is concerned. Now, being a living force we should try to find out, “Are we going to be the living force or the dead one”. Now, when we live in the world, we start thinking about our comforts; where we have to live, what we have to do. When we think of all these things, you see, we are thinking of the dead. But when we think of having a place or a house or an Ashram from the angle that you Will be doing some living work, then you are giving life to that place. That atmosphere should be created Read More …

Christmas And Its Relationship To Lord Jesus Caxton Hall, London (England)
Christmas And Its Relationship To Lord Jesus, Caxton Hall, LONDON (UK), 10 December 1979. …this day for us to remember that Christ was born on this earth. As a human being, He came on this earth. And the task that was before Him was to enlighten human awareness with the sense of understanding, but we can say it is actualization, within the awareness of human beings, that they are not this body but they are the spirit. The message of Christ is His resurrection. That is you are your spirit an’ not your body. And He showed by His resurrection, how He ascended into the realm of spirit – which He was, because He was Pranava, He was Brahma, He was Mahavishnu – as I have told you about His birth. And when He came on this earth, in a body, like a human being, He wanted to show another thing that spirit has nothing to do with money, has nothing to do with power. It is all powerful, all pervading, but He’s born in a stable, not in a palace or to a king but He was born to a very ordinary person, a carpenter. Because if you are the king, as we say in Hindi language, Badshah then nothing is greater than you, isn’t it? It means simply that. Nothing is higher than you, neither anything can decorate you, because whatever you are, you are at the highest. All the worldly things so called, are just like dry Read More …
Seminar followed by questions New Delhi (India)
Seminar (Hindi-English) – New Delhi – 13 March 1979. [Section in English of 11 minutes 46. Starts at 1:07:54] Sahaja Yogi: Mother, do we have to concentrate on particular plexus?Shri Mataji: No. Nothing. That’s what I’m trying to tell you.In Sahaja Yoga, it is a spontaneous thing, you don’t have to do anything at all. It is a spontaneous process. The Kundalini itself rises and tells the person who’s giving you Realisation that this is the problem with the gentleman. So, the gentleman who is seeking his ‘sadaka’ [accomplishment] feels nothing about it but the other fellow, the one who is giving Realisation feels. So, he can manoeuvre because he’s a Realised soul, the vibrations are flowing, he can manoeuvre, he can give a bandhan, he can give nourishment to that chakra and, can make that chakra all right and raise the Kundalini higher. It is the one who is Realised can do it. After Realisation, now many people have taught that you much concentrate here [Agnya Chakra]. It’s a wrong idea. Absolutely wrong, I don’t know who has taught this because if you concentrate here, this is just a window, which should not be, at all, opened. You should go straight-forward, take your ‘chitta’ (attention) upward through the Sahasrara. Or if you concentrate here your attention will go out of the window and that is what happens to people who try to concentrate there, they start seeing visions.Yesterday only, there was one gentleman who was saying, (brief dialogue in Read More …

Spirits of the dead Mumbai (India)
“Spirits of the Dead,” Bombay (India), 22 December 1976 Now, the question is, for a modern man, whether to believe that there are [dead] spirits or not. Because it’s a very unknown area. And the unknown area, unless and until it is fully explored and found out, always creates a hallucination that it is something divine. So, we have to know even about spirits: who are they, how they act, and how they work out. Now, many will say that, “We do not believe in spirits.” Whether you believe it or not — but they are there. Christ, He was not a liar. He took out spirits and put them in the pig. And He is the man who very clearly said that, “Keep away from the spirits.” The spirits are the people. We can be spirits tomorrow if we want to be. When we die, we do not die fully. Only the element of earth, which has created us… for appearance, or which is the… we can say, the Jala Tattva [Water Principle], with the gross form — that portion only dies, the rest of it remains. And it goes into an area which we call as Pretaloka [the world of the dead], where it starts becoming smaller and smaller till it comes to the size of a foetus, or, you can say, a very small foetus. It waits there. But some of the people, when they die, they are dissatisfied souls. In Sanskrit, we call them as atrupta Read More …
