Shri Ganesha Puja on occasion of Shri Ganesha’s Birthday: He is the embodiment of purity House in Pratishthan, Pune (India)

[Hindi to English translation] Talk held in occasion of Shri Ganesha Jayanti. Pratishthan (India), 10 February 2008. Today is a very important day for all of us Sahaja Yogis, because Shri Ganesha was born on this day. We worship Shri Ganesha and you got your awakening because of Him. No matter how much you think of Him, until you know His special qualities, you cannot attain Him. His special quality is that He is the embodiment of purity [shuddha swaroop] and complete Master of the Universe. He is the incarnation of the Supreme, of Brahma. By coming into this world, He has created music [sangeet], rhythm [taal], and notes [sur]. By His Grace only, people become one with music [talleen]. A small boy came into the world and did such great work! He has given so many things to everyone, and even today He is active. No matter how much you worship Shri Ganesha, it is not enough. A lot of people say, “We don’t see Shri Ganesha, even after worshipping Him so much. We do not attain Him.” He is omniscient, omnipresent, and in every matter, but you cannot recognize Him unless you are realized. After your realization, you can recognize what Shri Ganesha is. Shri Ganesha is purity, the pure Spirit. He is the pure Spirit. When He is awakened within us, then we have no more problems. Then we achieve success in each and every task; every understanding gives success. And we find joy in everything we Read More …

An Ideal Indian New Delhi (India)

2003-03-24 Public Program [English translation from Hindi] My heart is brimming with joy at receiving such welcome from you all! I cannot think what to say and what not to say! I am watching you all, seeing where all you have seated yourselves, maybe we have arrived in this stadium for the first time and you people are seated scattered away. On this occasion, I am wondering what to say to you people, what subject to speak on. Most of you people are SYs and those who are not, will become. This works out in the same fashion all the time! In the past times, receiving the gift of SY was considered extremely tough but now the times have changed. Now your kundalini can awaken in a rather lucidly and in SY itself, you can attain your spiritual place. It is said that it is within you, yourself, the Spirit resides. Hence, within you, a miraculous happening should occur so that you can get acquainted with your own Spirit. This spiritual pursuit was considered highly unattainable in the past eras. Penances worth a thousand years, roaming around in the jungles, offering one’s services to the rishis-munis (hermits, sages), as an outcome of such noble acts, not all but extremely few people would attain this spiritual benefit (of kundalini awakening). But nowadays, the times have ripened to the extent that if human beings do not receive this gift (of kundalini awakening), wonder where he will land, what will happen to him! Read More …

Mahashivaratri Puja: He is forgiveness personified Pune (India)

Shivaratri Puja, Pune (India), 16 March 2003. Today, we are going to worship, Shri Shiva, Sadashiva. His quality is that, he is forgiveness personified. The amount of forgiveness He has, has helped many of us to exist, Otherwise this world, would have perished. so many would have been finished, because you know what is the condition of human beings. They don’t understand what is wrong, what is right. Apart from that, they cannot forgive. They go on making mistakes, doesn’t matter, But they cannot forgive others. This is what we have to learn from Shri Sadashiva. [Translation from Hindi] Today we are going to worship Shri Sadashiva. His specific nature is that, His capacity to forgive is so much, that no human can compete with Him. He forgives all our mistakes. If He doesn’t, the whole world could have come to an end. Because within him there is a power, with which He can destroy the whole creation. Though forgiveness is His inherent quality, this power of distruction within Him, is active and keeps growing. This same power, with which He forgives, when it matures or rather when it grows in abundance, He can destroy the whole world also. So first of all we need to acquire his quality of forgiveness. For small, insignificant and forgivable matters, We keep fighting. We fight over very petty, unimportant subjects. But He is forgiving to the extent that, He keeps forrgiving until, He reaches the point, From where, the distructive powers within him Read More …

Gudi Padwa Puja Palam Vihar, Gurgaon (India)

Gudi Padwa Puja, Palam Vihar, Gurgaon (India), 13 April 2002. (Hindi) [Translation from Hindi to English] The festival of Gudi Padwa that we are celebrating today,is also celebrated in other parts of India, even in the South. Everywhere this festival is celebrated. The ‘Samvat’ calendar year that was started (By King Vikramaditya) and the calendar year started by Shalivahanas, both start on the same day. That day is today. All over the country this day (New Year) is celebrated. All the important dates in the year are fixed on that basis especially the festivals. We people (Indians) follow the lunar calendar whereas the westerners follow the sun calendar. That’s why their festival dates do not change. Here (in India ) every festival is based on the position of the moon. And that’s why the dates keep changing and the same festival falls on different dates, in different years. The reason why we give importance to the moon and keep all our dates according to its position, is that the moon has an influence on human beings. The sun does not. Along with the moon, other planets also have influence on us. That is why we follow the lunar calendar and fix our festivals accordingly. There is one festival however, where the date is as per position of the sun. When the sun starts its movement from southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere, that date is celebrated as a festival (Sankranti).  In our country the science of astrology is also based Read More …

Birthday Puja: You Can Do A Lot New Delhi (India)

Birthday Puja, Delhi, India 21-03-2002 [Translation from Hindi] I have been watching the magnitude of love. How it has spread into all corners. From where to where it has reached. Upto how many people? No one knows. But I have understood its Principle. Can there be any Principle of love? Love has no Principle.Like an all encompassing divine halo,  love has spread far and wide. We have no awareness of it.  We do not know it. But the love of the Almighty has spread to the entire creation, the whole world.  Only after getting your Self Realisation you can experience this. You can know this. That this is love.  This is the love of God. God’s energy is only Love. It is only the energy of Love that becomes effective.  We are not able to understand this. To hate someone; to harbour enmity with someone; to wish evil on someone; to fight with someone.  This is very low and mean.   You are a Sahaja Yogi.  In your heart you should only feel love. Nothing else.  The situation that is prevailing in our country today … Looking at it we cannot understand that in the name of religion why there is  so much hatred and violence. What has happened. What was the need for this? Something starts, then comes rejection and contradiction, and it has a reaction which is more violent than the original action.  In this way whatever consciousness and sensitivity you have about God is reduced. Now we have Read More …

Public Program Day 1: Satya Ki Prapti Hi Sabse Badi Prapti Hai Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, New Delhi (India)

Satya Ki Prapti Hi Sab Se Badi Prapti Hai Date 25th March 2001: Place Delhi Public Program Type I bow to all the seekers of truth and also to those who have already found it. Sahaja Yoga has spread in Delhi city in a big way. Once upon a time, I could not expect to have even a few Sahaja Yogis in Delhi. The atmosphere in Delhi, in those days, was such that people used to run after power and money. I used to ask myself a question that when will these people go for the attainment of the Spirit? The pursuit for power is short-lived. It yields no results. Many people could achieve political positions and many were thrown out of it. Similarly, those who work for money have the same fate because running after the things which are unreal, ultimately leads us to disappointment. The comfort and joy of the material acquisitions are ephemeral. But now I say that the people of Delhi are awakened to such an extent! This awakening is your own exclusive asset – the outcome of your own spiritual thirst which is now quenched. I wonder how much I have contributed to you quenching your own spiritual thirst! What is noteworthy is the fact that if this subtle mechanism was not inbuilt, how would this spirituality manifest in you? One needs to understand that many saints were born in this land to initiate the spiritual upliftment of people. These saints are a household name. Read More …

Nirmal Dham Bhoomi Pujan: The pain can only be removed by you New Delhi (India)

2000-04-07 Public Program (Hindi) [Translation from Hindi scanned from the Divine Cool Breeze] I bow to you all the seekers of truth. I never expected that you will come in such big numbers, and would understand the importance of this work, Once we were going for a Sahaj Yoga programme, and were passing through a place known as Daulatabad. By chance, in a sahaj way, our car developed some problem and stopped. When I got down I saw there were many women, more than a hundred, standing there with their children. The number of children was many times more than the women These women were collecting water from a leaking tap. Wearing tattered clothes, and managing to cover their heads with torn veils, they were standing in that scorching heat. I couldn’t understand what was happening! I asked them, “What are you doing here? How have you come here?” They replied, we are all Muslim ladies. Our husbands have divorced us. These are our children. The amount of Mehar (settlement), which we got from our husbands, was so little, that it was not enough even to pull on for a month. Somehow we have got employment. We break stones into small pieces to earn our livelihood. But where do you live? They pointed towards an area of broken down huts. We live there. There were crooked tin sheds and some had only some cloth shelter, which could not be called a house. They said we all live in that.I said, Read More …

Gudi Padwa Puja Noida (India)

2000- 04-05 Gudi Padwa/Navaratri Puja Talk, India Here, in India, two Navratris (nine nights of the Goddess) are celebrated. One is the Chaitra Navratri (the first month of the Hindu calendar)  when She is worshipped in the form of Shailaputri. This is Her first incarnation, and She had taken birth in the Himalayas. That is why She is called Shailaputri (daughter of the Himalaya). She has other names also.  But Shailaputri has special significance because it was the very first time that She took an incarnation.  She was born in the extreme cold conditions of the Himalayas because whatever She had to achieve, was confined to that environment. But you are not aware of the whole story.  Her father Daksha had held a great Havan, but did not invite Shiva. She was Shiva’s wife.  So She, the Devi, immolated Herself. This was the first time Sati was performed. She entered the fire of the Havan, and offered Herself as “Aahuti” (oblation to the fire). Then Shiva came.  He picked up Her body and left.   As He kept moving, pieces of Her Divine Body fell in different places on Mother Earth.  We believe that wherever the sacred pieces fell, Her Shakti vibrates there. Like in Vindhyaachal, and many other places. It is said that in all those places, the  Shakti of the Devi acts, and purifies everything. Among the seven Shaktis (powers) of the Devi, one of them is ‘Saunharak’ Shakti, (the destructive power). This Saunharak Shakti is right sided. On Read More …

Commands of Intellect and its Effect New Delhi (India)

Public Program, Hamari Atma kya chij hai, New Delhi 25-03-2000 I bow to all the seekers of truth. So far we did not know what is the truth. We accepted whatever the brain made us believe. The brain misguided so much that we started justifying all our deeds. Man moved away from the path of truth. We started running after the material gains. Human connections with truth was severed and human beings fell into the unknown abyss. Now people are surprised as to how it happened? Why such a situation arose? Why did man shift from wisdom to (un-wise) wickedness? Wickedness took the place of wisdom. This wickedness benefited neither the individual nor anyone else. Sometimes we are alarmed to see the happenings around like bloodshed and violence. Even small children are not spared. Many such perversions have set in. I can only say that there is an extreme “kaliyuga”. The scriptures have not described the age/period to be so terrible. Scriptures made just a mention of it. It’s written that in this age people will have their meals in the utensils of iron instead of brass. Many such formal things have been referred to, but the scene before us is horrible and sad. Man should not lose his way. In search of happiness he ran after the wrong things and happiness remained a mirage. He sank in deep darkness. Man doesn’t know that his deeds are evil and that he has to suffer as a result, such things-deeds have Read More …

Birthday Puja: Divine Love New Delhi (India)

Birthday Puja. Delhi (India), 21 March 2000. [English Transcript] I am so very filled with joy and My heart is so full of gratitude for all the Sahaja Yogis who have been able to create this beautiful place. I cannot imagine how much they must have worked hard in such a place to create such a beautiful area, such a blissful place. How in Sahaja Yoga people work together with tremendous respect and love for each other, and produce something that is unbelievable. This was just a wilderness, and you have brought so much of life and light in this place. You wanted to celebrate My birthday. I don’t know what is such a significant about it. But the way you have really shown your understanding and respect, I am just enamored. I can’t understand what have I done for you, that you should do so much for Sahaja Yoga. As it is, today is also a very auspicious day which we call as the Holi. They play Holi on this day and show their love and oneness among themselves. This is the time when we have to really understand the value of love, of respect of others, because so far we have based all our theories and all our ideas on the principle that human beings cannot love each other. They are always trying to overpower others or to hate others, or to grab things from others. Such a wrong idea we had all these days, and that’s why Read More …

Talk: Paane ke baad dena chaahiye swagat samaroh New Delhi (India)

1999-12-05 Talk in Delhi: After receiveing you have to give   Sir CP: Dear Sahaja Yogis, returning  back home is a very big thing, I get very emotional when I see your overwhelming love for your Shri Mataji. Then I feel the world is going in the right path. You see, another year is coming to an end, and another century and another millennium is going to start. I just want to say that in this century or in the previous ones, some people came, who started new religion – Mahatma Gautama Buddha came , Lord Jesus came, Christ , prophet Mohammed came , Guru Nanak came . All these people came and started religions because human beings needed all these religions.   The mind of the human beings is very wandering from the beginning,  and to take care of this mind, religion is needed. But whatever religion came, though they handled the human beings, but from inside, from inside the human beings, whatever they were they remained the same. From outside a little impact came. They went to temples or churches or to the mosques, but from inside, it is very important for the human beings to change, because to go to Almighty Father, Paramatma and to get connected, the inside change is very important. And this work somebody had to do, and God has sent Shri Mataji to you for this work, for the rise of the human beings above everything else, and after rising to bring them Read More …

Guru Nanak Birthday Puja Noida House, Noida (India)

[English translation from Hindi] Anniversary of Guru Nanak Birthday, Noida House (India), November 1999. Today is the birthday of Guru Nanaka. It is being celebrated through-out the world with so much of zeal that I have not seen in India. For the first time it has been advertised in so many papers and by different means.Guru Nanaka always talked of Sahaja Yoga. Everything else, He said, is just showing off. About religion He said that observing fasts, going on pilgrimage, etc., are just meant to show off. Now you have to discover the power that is within you and establish it. Guru Nanaka kept on repeating the same thing again and again. He never talked of rituals: But when Guru Teg- Bahadur came, tomorrow is his martyrs day, He was also of the same opinion. But when there was the last Guru, war was being fought. So, he prescribed Kada (iron bangle), long hair (not to cut hair) etc. All this was prescribed by him. But Guru Nanaka always talked of the spirit. Everything else is of no value, He explained it very clearly, but no one heeded what He wrote. They will just put a finger on the couplet and read it out. Could we understand him this way? If we go through His writings properly and absorb it, then the whole Shabad-Jalam (confusion), in which most of the people are caught, will come to an end. See the condition of Sikhs! They are not looking within themselves, which Read More …

Birthday Puja: We all should be together, whatever may be the differences New Delhi (India)

Birthday puja (Hindi). New Delhi (India), 21 March 1999. Hindi Part (for subtitles) (Translation from Hindi) After seeing this love, my heart is filled.  And I am thinking that love is such a big power by which so many people are attracted and become happy.  This is such a surprising thing. In this Kali Yuga, no one would have seen this greatness of love.  I think that after seeing this, all of you should learn to increase your love.  And this thing is very easy.  And you can do it in this way – by meditating morning and evening, then the bad thoughts in your mind which cause jealousy and anger and you get hurt by small things, all such thoughts will end.  And after that what’s left, it’s Nirmal prem.  With this love you can give the whole world a new life. (English starts here) I have told them in Hindi language that love, you can see one person’s love manifested in so many eyes here.  And when I saw the enthusiasm also My heart got filled with great love, greater love. So one can see how powerful is this love.  All kinds of bad feelings, negative thinking and also self-destructive elements can be corrected and controlled very simply in Sahaja Yoga, if you with sincere heart meditate morning and evening, twice.  That time you shouldn’t see your watches of course, but enjoy, enjoy your meditation.  That will give you such a strength to love others, to forgive others; Read More …

Types Of Powers through Kundalini Awakening Ramlila Maidan, New Delhi (India)

Public Program [Translation from Hindi to English] My salutations to all the seekers of truth! Firstly, we should know that truth has many interpretations, and many books have been written on this. On religion (“Dharamapurasar”) how many books, how many preaching’s, how many bhajans, how much devotion are there in front of you? Today is the special day of Guru Tegh Bahadur (“one of the ten gurus in Sikh religion”). He also said that you should be devoted to God. By being devoted to God, you can attain your inner balance, inner peace, and all the negativities that are clinging onto us will all be destroyed. But now today’s world is not like that. Nowadays, people in the world are special. On one side there are people who are seekers. They are searching and want to find the truth. And on the other side, they are people who are not afraid of anything. They are not afraid of God Almighty. If you tell them, “If you do wrong things you will go to hell,” they do not believe in such things. It is said that for seven generations people take up this sin; we do not know how much. They go through all types of sorrow and pain. Whatever you tell them, you try to scare them, whatever you tell them, that fear won’t affect them. They have become stone-hearted people. 03.00 Now killing is a big sin. Killing people in this manner, killing small children, is a very big Read More …

Adi Shakti Puja: The Shakti of Satya Yuga Dargah Hazrat Nizamuddin, New Delhi (India)

Shakti Puja: The Shakti Of Satya Yuga 02-12-1995 Today, we are going to do the puja to Shakti in Satya Yuga. Because Satya Yuga has started in this environment, the influence of Shakti has also become more intense. The first form of Shakti is that she is enlightened, illuminated. She is full of intense light. When the Shakti manifests herself in Satya Yuga all the manners of wrong people will be exposed, they’ll come in front. all wrongdoings of theirs will come in front and exposed. All their acts that have been hidden to the rest of the world will be exposed. All wrong actions – they may be illegal or mental, or terroristic or others all these forms of acts which are against Satya, which are against the truth- none of such activities, such an institution can be saved because the light of truth will shine on it. In this light of Satya (truth), you will see its special form. The reason I had already told you before is that Krita Yuga has started and Satya Yuga will follow soon.  I had already said that the sun of Satya Yuga is on the horizon. Soon you’ll get the proof of this, that whoever brings untruth in the path of truth, who is indulging in untruth will be exposed. Even if he is a Sahaja Yogi, if he calls himself a Sahaja Yogi and indulges in wrong activities, he cannot save himself. Till today, truth saved him, protected him and looked Read More …

Birthday Puja: After Self-Realisation, the Sahaja culture is born within you New Delhi (India)

Birthday Puja. New Delhi (India), 20 March 1995. Translation from Hindi What can one say on one’s own Birthday.  That which I have never dreamed possible, has happened here today. So many of you have come into Sahaja Yoga and are sitting here today in front of Me. What better Birthday can there be for a Mother.  You have received your self realisation.  So this is also your Birthday.  You have prepared yourselves for a great happening, and such a great event has never happened before.  You are the functionaries, who will manage this great job.  What greater cause for joy can I have.  I never imagined that in My lifetime I will see before Me, such a large number of realised souls, and that I will experience the greatest joy and happiness. The speciality of the present, prevailing conditions, is that the world is that human beings are spinning in an atmosphere of illusion and confusion.  When we turn our attention to the other countries outside, we see that they have completely lost their moorings.  There is no meaning in morality, ethical character or standards.  It is considered brave and courageous to aggress others.  And their destination is directly to hell.  And it seems impossible to stop their progress towards their destruction.  But even among them, there were gems who realised what a meaningless existence they were living. On the other hand we can see that fanatics created very difficult conditions for human beings.  They were forced to bind Read More …

Shri Raja Lakshmi Puja: The Goddess which rules the kings New Delhi (India)

Shri Rajalakshmi Puja, Nizamuddin Scout Ground, New Delhi (India), 4 December 1994. [Shri Mataji (in Hindi: Sorry I am late, my granddaughter is a little sick and I stayed back to make her better. First I will speak in English and then in Hindi]. [English Transcript] Today we are going to worship Rajalakshmi, means the Goddess which rules the kings. It’s a very important thing today to understand that something has basically gone wrong in the working of our political systems and why the people have lost their sense of justice, fair play and the benevolence of the people. Where have we gone wrong that this is being lost? It’s not only in India, it’s not only in Japan or in England or any other place where we think there is democracy. First and foremost thing is that all these countries, even those who have got their freedom, started following those countries which were supposed to be  highty and mighty and very powerful – like America, like Russia, like China, England – without understanding how far they have reached in delivering the goods that they are supposed to do. In any case, in a country like England, you see the monarchy, the way it has been working, is shocking, absolutely shocking. The way they have acted towards their ministers, like Cromwell, you feel as if some primitive people are trying to manage something. And the kings so cruel, queens so cruel, so character-less, so irresponsible. They had no character to be Read More …

Shri Raja Rajeshwari Puja: The aspect of Adi Shakti at Nabhi chakra Hyderabad (India)

Shri Raja Rajeshwari Puja (Hindi). Hyderabad (India), 21 January 1994. [Translation from Hindi to English] Today we are going to perform the Puja of Shri Raja Rajeshwari. Especially in the south of India, the Devi is recognized in many forms. The reason is that here there were many Devi bhaktas (devotees of the Goddess), like Adi Shankaracharya, and they established the religion of Shakta Dharma. Shakta Dharma means the religion of Shakti (God’s power). Two kinds of religions started simultaneously. Ramanujacharya established the Vaishnav religion, and while following two kinds of religions, people got separated. The one who is truly Vaishnav (following the Vaishnav religion), his work is of Mahalakshmi. And Mahalakshmi ji who has many forms, assimilates all those forms within Herself; like Dharma, establishing the Dharma and being in the middle path, going neither to the left nor to the right, but being in the center. Such people are called Vaishnavas. As time passed, Vaishnava Dharma spread in Gujarat and other (states of India). When one goes through the Vaishnav path, through Kundalini, then at the end you reach Sahasrara, but at Sahasrara, at the Brahmarandra, is the seat of Sadashiva. So by following Vaishnava Dharma, at the end, one reaches Sadashiva, who is also the goal of Shakta Dharma. But one must understand that the power of Kundalini, Kundalini Shakti, passes through the central path. So how can you separate the two (Shakta and Vaishnava Dharma)? The path of Shakti is the central path. Both the things Read More …

Shri Ganesha Puja: All people are one Birthplace - Shrine Chhindwara, Chhindwara (India)

Shri Ganesha Puja. Chhindwara (India), 18 December 1993. English Talk I’m sorry I was delayed. We’re supposed to see the collector and the  thaisindar [tax officer?] as they call him. They have done so much for us, so much they have organized, all the way in the – officially they have done so well that I had to wait for them to thank them very much. I think it’s not very much hot for you. See the wind is blowing, can you imagine and, if you see, there’s no leaves – leaves are not moving. (Applause.) You always used to go and sit in the sun, so now here it is. You better have some of it. I hope you all enjoyed your stay in Jabalpur and the visit to Jabalpur. It was quite interesting. Some people have not yet arrived. I’m sorry to say they haven’t been able to arrive from Bombay. I think they are more Bombayites, not from the foreign countries, but otherwise I think all of you are here. It’s very unusual thing to happen like this, you see. This – My father built this house about eighty years back. He was very imaginative and fond of guests, so he also put up guest bedrooms and guest bathrooms, such, and it was a hill station. Now, of course, because of crowdedness , very cold and hill station, so people used to come. His friends used to come from Nagpur, so he had made arrangements for them. There Read More …

Public Program: Paise Ka Mul Nahin Gurgaon (India)

1993-1129 Public Program, Paise Ka Mul Nahin [There is no value for money], Gurgaon, India I feel so overwhelmed. You have decorated so beautifully. You have done such a lot of work. Don’t know how much money you may have spent – A Mother gets only such thoughts. And I think, within one year how so much of change has come about in Gurgaon? And people got awakened that we should attain the truth. Everyone wants to attain the truth. Everyone thinks that we should attain truth. Because without the truth, there is no meaning of this life. In the darkness whatever we search or see, in that we go into illusions. This is the specialty of Kaliyuga. In Kaliyuga, people go into illusion. They are unable to have faith in anything. Because weird people, taking the name of God, talk of great things, talk of spirituality and put people in wrong belief. So what is the truth? How do we know the truth? But those who are searching, they get hurt. Those who are searching from their heart, having a lot of faith, they get entangled in wrong path. That’s why I said that in Haryana we should definitely start. Because people here are simple. It’s possible that here also they must’ve got entangled with gurus. Where there is simplicity, there gurus definitely go. They are not gurus, they are agurus [false gurus]. Some of them are bad rakshasas. They call themselves gurus and do all such work that Read More …

Christmas Puja: Express Christ In Your Life Ganapatipule (India)

Christmas Puja, Ganapatipule (India), 25 December 1992. [English translation from Hindi] Today, we are celebrating Jesus Christ’s birthday. His incarnation was a very great thing. And, about Him, there is description in the scriptures also, as to how Mahavishnu’s incarnation will take place in this world, and He will become the foundation of the whole world. But, since the religion started taking an opposite direction, it got diverted to various different forms, and everything got drowned into darkness and ignorance. Therefore, the unity of dharma on this beautiful tree of divine power, where one after another beautiful incarnations took birth, got divided into different religions which were established. And, by taking these dead flowers, human beings made their own religions and started fighting. Jesus Christ is the incarnation of Shri Ganesha. and there is proof for this. About this proof I will tell you later in English. But from His life we have to learn that the life of Jesus Christ was extremely pure. Just like Shri Ganesha is pure, similarly, after taking His incarnation in this world, and while being in this world, He lived in complete purity, because impurity just couldn’t touch Him. This was how extraordinary His incarnation was. And because of this incarnation in this world a very big event took place, that our Agnya chakra got opened. As He was crucified on the cross, our Agnya chakra got opened and this was a great boon granted by Him. He had to do this so He Read More …

New Year Puja: Krita Yuga Has Started Kalwa (India)

New Year Puja, Kalwa (India),  January 1st, 1991 Translation from Hindi Today we are going to perform a Puja in a place close to Bombay. The name of Bombay used to be Mumbai. This name is made of three words: Mum, Amba, and Aayee. In Maharashtriyan or Marathi language we address Mother as Aayee. Even in the Vedas, Adi Shakti is referred to as Ee. So, the reflection of Adi Shakti is Aayee. That is why Mother is called as Aayee. Also, in many places, she is also called as “Ma”, Therefore the first sound has come from the word “mum”. And Amba, as you all know, is verily the Kundalini. So this Trigunatmika is three words. And in Mumbai also, you know that, there is a beautiful temple of all the three Shaktis, Mahalakshmi, Mahasaraswati, Mahakali, from where these three Devis have emerged from Mother Earth. Although, a lot of illicit activities are done by people here, but still these three Devis are in an awakened state here. So, especially the people of Mumbai, should understand that these three Devis” swayambhu have not manifested together anywhere else; As you already know in Mahurgadh there is Mahasaraswati; And in Tuljapur there is Bhavani (Shri Mahakali), and in Kolhapur there is Mahalakshmi. And in Wani is the half syllable (Ardhmatra), whom we call as Adi Shakti. But here, all the three Murtis (swayambhu) are awakened. But where there is the most hard work done, and where the divine work is done Read More …

Christmas Puja and Evening Program Ganapatipule (India)

Christma Puja Talk, Ganapatipule, India, 25-12-1990 [English Transcript] Today we have such a great opportunity, to celebrate the birth of Christ. He was born in a manger. All these things are already pre-planned. That He should be born in a manger, in difficult situations, to show that whether you are born poor or rich, whether you are born in difficulties, or in problems, if you have Divinity within you, it shines by itself. As the Christianity took a very wrong deviated, line, they have never been able to understand the significance of Christ. To them immaculate conception-conception is absolutely, not possible. Most of the people think that it’s some sort of a mythical story. But in India, we do believe that, Gauri created Shri Ganesha out of, Her own, vibrations, and that He became the Deity of Mooladhara. We accept it. But not in the West. They will never accept such a thing because, their mental side is over-developed and dominates them. Maybe, they are not so very old like Indians to understand that above all He is God. Even the concept of God is quite mental. Moreover, the way Christianity has been, it has not provided any proper guidance. On the contrary wherever they have failed, they said “It’s a mystery.”                   But, it’s very simple to understand for Indians, that anything is possible for God. After all He is God- He is God Almighty. Because of this mental attitude, which is much lower, than the knowledge of your spirit, Read More …

To know God Almighty Hyderabad (India)

Public Program Parmatma Ko Janane Ke Liye (To know God Almighty) Hyderabad-1990 (Hindi) Sahaja Yogis chanting Mahamantra: Om Twameva Sakshat Shri Mahalakshmi, Mahasaraswati, Mahakali Trigunatmika, Kundalini Sakshat, Shri Adishakti Mataji, Shri Nirmala Devi Namo Namah. [Translation from Hindi to English] It should be known that the Truth is in its own place. We cannot create it and we cannot conceive it with one’s mind or intelligence. It is what it is, and it will remain that way. However, to know the truth, in today’s state of mankind, we have to rise a little above that. In the course of the revolution, the evolution, we can say sitting here today, we consider ourselves to be an Indian, an Englishman or a human. Beyond that, if we want to understand what we are, from the state of humanity today, we have to rise above. And that higher state, you can neither achieve it through the intensity of reasoning nor the intensity of devotion. Because, for that, there is a special arrangement that has been made by the “Jagandata” (creator of the world), Parameshwar (God Almighty) within us. Nowadays if anyone even takes the name of Parmatma (God Almighty), it is considered that this is the same tired old thing you are saying. But God exists, whether you accept it or not. To know Him, you have to rise to a higher level. From a scientific perspective, a person with a scientific temperament should consider what we are saying is a hypothesis. And Read More …

Arrival and Kundalini Puja Hyderabad (India)

KUNDALINI PUJA, Date: 5th Feb. 1990, Place: Hyderabad, Type: Puja, Speech: Hindi, Translated to: English It has been a great joy to meet you all. And, I did not imagine that there would be so many Sahaja Yogis in Hyderabad. Hyderabad has a unique quality that such diverse people have gelled together so well here. This is quite similar to our Nagpur, where I have seen that different people from all across India have settled. And that is why people there have an openness in their sacraments (Sanskaar) and view each other with much acceptance. Now if we all have to turn towards Sahaja Yoga in a novel way, then we must understand many things —such as Sahaja Yoga is a form of truth (Satya Swaroop) and we are veracious (Satya Nishth); whatever is false, we must give it up. At times, getting rid of falsehood becomes very difficult. Because when we have been associated with wrong for too long, it becomes difficult to disassociate ourselves from it. But, if the falsehood is glued to us, we can never become pure. Because falsehood is illusionary, and, to overcome that illusion we must resolve to accept whatever is the truth and get rid of whatever is false. You will be amazed that just by such determination the Kundalini, which is already awakened within you, will do this for you and will bring forth such circumstances that you can easily distinguish between truth and false. And not just this, you will inherit Read More …

Makar Sankranti Puja Kalwa (India)

Makar Sankranti – Shri Surya Puja, Kalwa (India), January 14th, 1990 Hindi translation  Today’s auspicious occasion is being celebrated everywhere in India. The reason is that the Sun which has left us, has left India, and had moved towards the Tropic of Capricorn, has now returned. And along with the movement of the Earth and the Sun all the vegetation, all the crops, fruit and other things are growing. The time has come for their growth. And all those trees whose leaves were completely removed in the cold weather, appeared as if they have completely died, all those trees are again awakened and started to become green. And that’s why, the significance of this time is that the Earth will again become green, and activities will start again everywhere. Especially in Northern India, where it gets very cold, it is a very special festival, that the sun has arrived and all the work dependent on the Sun will be completely fulfilled now. So today I transmit best wishes to everyone here. And on today’s auspicious occasion, I could meet you all here. This is also a great joy for Me, I feel. As we consider Sun’s appearance as a very great thing, it is much more important, that the Sun of Sahaja Yoga comes on this Earth. Because whatever creativity is in this Universe, the creativity is nourished by the Sun. The Sun gives it the energy, and the creative power of the “Paramchaitanya”, its aspect of action, has got Read More …

Devi Puja: Who is the God and Who Is the Goddess Ganapatipule (India)

Puja at Ganapatipule. Ganapatipule (India), 7 January 1990. [Shri Mataji arrives and speaks aside: Shri Mataji: (Marathi: “It’s cool, not hot at all”.) “You’ve got the sari with you?” Yogi: “Yes, Shri Mataji”. Shri Mataji: “One sari”. (The yogi says something) Eh? Yogi: “… whichever one You would like”. Shri Mataji: “One. And another one belongs to Magdu”. (Marathi: “Ask Magdu about the other sari. Check if he has a sari or not, otherwise we’ll take their one.”) “You might be having their sari maybe.” Yogi: “Yes, we’ve got one extra”. Shri Mataji: “Alright…”.] (One yogini performs Aarti to Shri Mataji.) I’m sorry today for being late, but actually I was ready and all this police case, this, that, I tell you, unnecessary waste of time and it had to be this time. In India, we believe that, that God Himself takes incarnations with His Vishnu principle whenever there is the decline of righteousness and tries to elevate. Every incarnation has done lot of work – [Marathi: “Who is speaking ?One should not speak so loudly.”] – and have done also work within ourselves. Now this is the knowledge we had in India, long time back, but when they talked about incarnations people started worshipping them as some statues or some sort of an images which were sold in the market and were made by people who had no right to do that. But it is described in the Puranas that we have got some of the places where many Read More …

Shri Mahadevi Puja: Steady yourself with meditation Chalmala, Alibag (India)

Welcome Puja Mahadevi Puja Talk, Chalmala, Alibag, Maharashtra, India, English part, 21 December 1986. [Shri Mataji explains that She will first talk in English then in Marathi] [English talk] I bow to all the Sahaja Yogis.In these beautiful surroundings, many of you are wondering why God has created these beautiful things. Because you people had to come on this Earth and enjoy the beauty that is one of the reasons. And now God feels very much fulfilled with joy and satisfaction and a kind of a completion of His desire.“Why God has created this beautiful universe?” has been a question asked for thousands of years. The reason is very simple to understand: this beauty that is created cannot see itself. In the same way, God, who is the source of beauty, cannot see its own beauty. Like a pearl cannot enter into itself to see its beauty. Like the sky cannot understand its own beauty. The stars cannot see their own beauty. The Sun cannot behold its own brilliance. In the same way, God Almighty cannot behold His own being. He needs a mirror and that is how He has created this beautiful universe as His mirror. In this mirror He has created now beautiful things like the Sun, then the Sun has to see his own reflection also. So, He has created these beautiful trees to see that when he shines, they come up so well and look so green.Then He has created those birds who rise early in Read More …

Public Program Mumbai (India)

PUBLIC PROGRAM HINDI BOMBAY 01.12.1986 38.44 (IN Marathi) Yesterday I told you very briefly about humanity and Sahaja Yog, though it took some time because this subject is vast and whatever I could understand about it, I have tried to tell you. Today I have been told to talk to you in Hindi, though I have never learnt the Hindi language in schools and colleges and if there is any mistake in my speech, then please forgive me from your heart. But Hindi is not only the language of Maharashtra but of the whole country and everyone should know this language. Not only this, but you should become proficient, because a day will come when in this country, whoever is not able to learn Hindi language, he will lag behind. In the programs of our Sahaja yog, if you look at the history, you will see three types of foundation. Just like when a house is built, three types of foundation is put but, those who work only through their brain, they always carry on about one thing only. Like yesterday, one gentleman asked me a question that there is no description of Kundalini in our Vedas, then tomorrow someone will say ‘OK it is not described in Geet Govind also, some will say Kundalini is not described in Geeta also, then why are you talking about Kundalini now’. It should only be understood that what we call spiritual knowledge, it is like a living tree which grows inside us. Read More …

Dharma Ki Avashyakta – Why is Dharma needed (Evening) Sir Shankar Lal Concert Hall, New Delhi (India)

Public Program, Calcutta, India, 23 February 1986 [English translation from Hindi] I bow down to all the seekers of the spirit! What can be even said after listening to today’s heavenly music! Especially Mr. Devdutt Chaudhary and Shri Govind Chakravarti, who accompanied him on the tabla, have provided so much enjoyment to the spirit that without even telling anything, I think the Kundalini has awakened in you. Another thing that should be known in the Sahaja sense is that the Indian music is derived from Omkar. This thing is so right, its fame, its progress is such that in foreign countries those who have never heard any ragadari music, who do not even know what is or how the Hindustani music is made. Whose way of playing and understanding of music is totally different. When such people also receive their self-realization and go deeper, you will be surprised that without knowing any raga, without knowing the rhythm, without any knowledge about this subject, they just get lost into it. And as Chaudhary Sahab played in front of you today, in the same way when he was playing in London, then for hours people got completely immersed into it and became one with the flow of the music. I was surprised to see that they have never known any raga, they have never been interested in such music before, the musical notes have never entered their ears before, today all of a sudden what has happened to them after listening to Read More …

Public Program Day 1: Bhakti aur Karma Sir Shankar Lal Concert Hall, New Delhi (India)

Public Program Day 1, “Bhakti Aur Karma”, Delhi, India, 21-02-1986 I bow down to all seekers of truth in Delhi. Today’s questions which have come before me, have been written with a lot of interest, curiosity, intent and intelligence as is apparent in the Bhautic (material) world. As it has been mentioned there were already a number of Avatars (incarnations) which have come on this earth and people ask why this seeking was not done before? Now how do I know? You can call and ask them. Is this a question to be asked? If someone is doing this work then it should be thought that a very important work is being done and that it is a very good thing. If it was not done previously, it is fine. Earlier, a lot of work has been done, which has taken a lot of time because of its intensity. When a tree grows, it has  different phases – the phase that is currently going on, I had told you yesterday that this is the time of Spring. Many people are going to reap the benefits in this life. You are now getting the fruits of all your good deeds of previous lives in the form of your self-realisation as a blessing. This has been written since times immemorial and you are all learned people. If you read the story of Nal and Damayanti which was written thousands of years back. When Nal one day encountered Kali, he caught his leg Read More …

Devi Puja: What is expected of Sahaja Yogis and Where are we, Advice to Brides Bordi (India)

“What is expected of Sahaja Yogis and where are we?”. Bordi (India), 13 February 1984. [A Sahaja Yogi reads the mantra “Pasayadan” written by saint Gyaneshwara and Shri Mataji translates it.It is the last hymn (Ovi) of the “Gyaneshwari” (or Dnyaneshwari), which is an interpretation of the Bhagavad Gita written in Marathi by Saint Gyaneshwara (or Dnyaneshwara).] [Video and audio start here] Sahaja Yogi: “Ata vishwatmake deve yene vagnyajne toshave”.Shri Mataji: Now it says that all of you, who are one in your Spirit – this all description of Sahaja Yoga today – is the future, the present that you will get it, at this time what is going to happen. It is so beautifully shown, you’ll be surprised, that you all will become one in the universe. The Spirit of the universe will be satisfied with the ‘yagnyas’ they are going to do, with the fire ceremonies you are going to do. How it is appropriated! He said it 3 hundred years back.Sahaja Yogi: “Toshoni maza dyave pasayadana he”.Shri Mataji: And then you should give us the milk of your blessings by getting the complete satisfaction from us.Sahaja Yogi: “Ze khalanchi vyankati sando”.Shri Mataji: That time all the horrible evil people will be ruined and their plans will be spoiled.Sahaja Yogi: “Taya satkarmi rati wadho”.Shri Mataji : And people will take to righteousness. This is the description [??] GuptaSahaja Yogi: “Bhuta paraspare pado maitra jivantche”.Shri Mataji: At that time there will be a tremendous friendship of the Spirit among Read More …

New Year Puja: Who Is A Sahaja Yogi? New Delhi (India)

Nav Varsh Pooja Talk – (Sahajayogi ki Pahechan), New Year Puja,  Date: 03 January 1984, Place: Delhi, India, Type: Pooja, Speech language: Hindi [English Translation from Hindi] Every year comes a new year, and the last year gets completed. For Sahaja yogis every moment is a new year because they stay in the present. They stay neither in the future, nor in the past. Every moment for them is a new year, a new hope, a new wave. Just like while swimming in the ocean, every moment you are lifted by the love of the ocean. In the same manner, every Sahaja yogi is constantly feeling the bubbling of joy, love and peace. But the actual point is whether we have learnt to swim or not. In Sahaja Yoga, whoever has learnt how to swim, he will always swim in joy, will swim in the ocean of joy. If there is any shortcoming or flaw in Sahaja Yoga, it is that after Realisation, you have to become. Without achieving your becoming, you cannot achieve Sahaja Yoga. Mother has put you in the water, but even after becoming a swimmer, you have to learn how to make others swim, how you can save others, how you can teach others to swim. You have to become that completely. If this is one flaw, it is in Sahaja Yoga, but it covers many flaws. Like in the past, gurus did not arrange straight away for your peace and joy. Earlier, they used to Read More …

Havan after Guru Puja Lodge Hill Centre, Pulborough (England)

Havan after Guru Puja Shri Mataji: First we are going to have the “Namaz”. We have to learn how to do “Namaz” today, because it’s a Guru’s Day. Now where is…? – Come along! All of you who are here should learn how to do “Namaz”. Now stand here. Facing Me. Come along! Gregoire: I would like that everybody sit down, so that everybody can see. Shri Mataji: No, you have to stand up, because you have to do accordingly. Djamel: I was thinking you all stand up and stand in rows. You have to leave a space in front of you, there has to be a certain space so that you bow down. Shri Mataji: May I have some water to drink. Gregoire: We should all stand in a circle, leaving space between each circle around Shri Mataji, so that we can bow. So everybody stands in three or four circles, with one meter at least between the two circles Shri Mataji: Where are you going to have lunch? Sahaja Yogini: We are going to bring it here Mother. Shri Mataji: All right, that’s all right. Are you all listening now? Just move it backwards. Saha Yogi: Mother I will put this over here which will shade you a little. Shri Mataji: Sorry. Sahaja Yogi: I think I did it a little too far. Shri Mataji: Its because its coming up, all right,doesen’t matter. Sahaja Yogi: But I’m afraid Shri Mataji: All right. Alright, let’s – ah?

Kundalini – the most ancient science of spiritual life Hindu Centre, London (England)

  1983-06-05 Public Program, Hindu Centre, London,  Sahaja Yoghin: …of India, in the Constituent Assembly of India. Mataji, before She took up this message of spreading Hindu philosophy and Hindu thoughts, She was married in a very intellectually, prominent family and She was married to Shri C.P. Shrivastava. [Those of you] who know the post freedom leadership, among the IAS community, very well-known some of the names, and Shri C.P. Shrivastava’s name was one of the most prominent names. He had the distinction of being the principal private secretary to Shastriji, Shri Lal Bhahadur Shastri. And only now, after seeing his name, I remember Mataji. When I was a secretary Government Teachers’ Foundation and we had a conference in Delhi, when we were invited to Shastriji’s house, it was Shrivastavaji who conducted the guests to the, to the house of Shastriji. And I have great pleasure that God creates situations, that we meet different people at different situation, just to prove that the world is so small. Shrivastavaji, after serving as a distinguished person with Shastriji, then he was transferred to the, to the to the Shipping Corporation of India, where he was the secretary, and later on he was with the United Nation Agency, in the form of International Maritime Agency. Now this is the background of this intellectual family. As the holders of important positions in the government of India and in the International Assembly at the UNO, they must be coming in contact with highly prominent international personalities.

Talk and Holi Celebrations New Delhi (India)

Holi Celebrations, (Hindi), Delhi (India), 29 March 1983. On the auspicious occasion of Diwali- oh, yes, it’s Holi. I realized, I was saying something incorrect. But yesterday, I talked about Diwali that’s why this thought came, that on the auspicious occasion of Holi today, Diwali will be celebrated. As you know, on the day of Holi, Holika was burnt. Agni [the God of fire] had a very big blessing and task, because Agni Devata had given Holika a boon that in any circumstance, she will not burn, that death could come to her in any form, but not by fire. And after giving this boon, he regretted a lot because she took Holika in her lap and sat in the fire. And Agni Devata had a big dilemma, that “I have given this promise to her, that I will not burn her and how can I fulfil this promise? And Prahlad, is Himself innocence personified, He is himself an incarnation of Shri Ganesha and how can I burn Him? Nobody can burn him. And He is also beyond my powers. He is formed from my power.” So, he thought, “What is this ego?” that in front of such a great power what can I talk about my power? I have no such power which can face Him. His power is so great that I cannot burn him whatsoever I may try. But at this time I have a very big dilemma in front of me”. So, in between “duty” and Read More …

Public Program University of Delhi, New Delhi (India)

Talk at Delhi University (Hindi). (India) 11 March 1979. [Hindi to English translation] Work starts at 4 o’clock in the morning and it takes time till finish all. Yesterday I told you that [today] I will tell you about Kundalini. Can everybody is able to see this chart? Those who cannot see come and sit on this side. Come here and sit here nicely. Those who cannot see come to this side. (Shri Mataji says in Marathi that, “Wind is very strong, right.”) Yesterday I told you that the constitution with which human beings are made up of, that constitution has done very special work in us and due to this only, we are created.  The things which I am going to tell you now are not discussed [described] in current modern sciences. As I told you current modern sciences only knows those things which are comprehensible or can be actually visualized and this vision of human beings is not yet having light of Spirit. Still human beings are not enlightened [matured). Things which now I am going to tell you can be known only after enlightenment [maturity]. Whether these things are really existing or not existing within us, that you yourself can see.  First thing is that human beings get situated [settled]. Firstly, his existence is formed. Whole universe also initially gets its condition. If it does not get its condition then cannot happen. So, when this condition is created is due to power of God in us, the Read More …

Talk about Gandhi New Delhi (India)

Talk about Gandhi. Delhi, India. 11 March 1979. I want to first tell you about My meeting and why Gandhi is so important. Perhaps you have never realized what a tremendous instrument Gandhiji was. At the age of seven years he just picked Me up from My family and I stayed with him very, very close, extremely close, and he used to call Me as Nepali. That was My name. And everybody knew Me by that name. After 40 years, or say 45 years or so, suddenly I met … in the wedding of his own son. And I went to him. I saw immediately he recognized Me. He said, “What, Nepali, how are you here?” And just tears started rolling down My eyes. That was Gandhiji. He was a tremendous hard master also and I always used to say that, “You can be hard but how can you be hard with all these people?” He would make us get up at 4 o’clock. It was very easy for Me to get up at four because you see, My body had no habits. I can get up any time and sleep any time. But I speak for others … get up at four o’clock, and they had to clean their temples, they had to even, they sometimes had to clean, clean the bathrooms and the lavatories and everything with their own hands. He was a tremendous hard master but an extremely loving and compassionate person. He, as just now, as Read More …

Seminar: The Almighty is the most powerful of all Dehradun (India)

English Translation from Hindi. Seminar (Hindi). Dheradun, UP, India. 4 March 1979. (Shri Mataji asks the audience to sit comfortably with their hands open.) I had told you this morning that Shri Ganesha is placed on the first chakra of the Kundalini. He is the giver of purity and is purity itself. This chakra is below the Kundalini. Not only does it safeguard the Kundalini but it is also vigilant towards anyone who tries to get to the Kundalini from that side. Nobody can reach the Kundalini from that way. And as I told you this morning, those who try to do so, commit a grave sin. Although they can earn some money out of it, the sins they amass can become the cause of grave misfortune. Who is going to show them? The second chakra, which I told you was Swadishthana, is used for thinking. When we use our brains to think, we use the grey matter which is made of fat globules. These fat globules are made from abdominal fat. This chakra converts fat from the abdomen to fat for the brain. So thinking puts a lot of strain on this chakra. If one gets used to thinking a lot, as is common in these modern times, then it has to work so hard that all the other functions of this chakra get affected. As I had said, diabetes is the result of this malfunction because this chakra governs the functioning of the pancreas. Because this chakra is Read More …

Atma Ki Anubhuti, Meeting Speech Mumbai (India)

Atma Ki Anubhuti Date : 28th December 1977 Place Mumbai Type Seminar & Meeting Speech   [English translation from Hindi] I had told you the last time what is a soul (Atma), how it is Sachidanand (Sat + Chit + Anand; Truth + Attention + Bliss), and how after being made aware of the soul only humans can achieve these three things. Without self-realization, you cannot know the truth. You cannot achieve bliss. You should have the sensitivity of the soul. Now you can converse with your soul. You can ask the soul. You people are seated, you should ask by stretching your hands like this, is there a God in the world? Does his will reign? You ask these questions in your heart; by stretching your hands like this. Look how strong the flow of vibrations has started. You cannot know any truth unless you get the experience of your soul. Meaning till you get connected. Getting connected to your soul happens very easily in Sahaja Yoga. For some it happens for a very brief period and for some it happens forever.  After getting a connection with the soul we should try to achieve identification with it. Meaning that you have come to know me and I have come to know of you but I have not become you. You are looking at me and I’m looking at you. The moment I start looking with your vision, that is when identification is established. When you enter your soul and then Read More …

Prem Dharma, the Dharma of Love Mumbai (India)

Prem Dharma, the Dharma of Love, Mumbai, India, 1977-03-23 Translation from Hindi Many people wonder when they see this for the first time if this is Kundalini awakening or some child’s play? For Kundalini awakening so much has been said, one has to stand on his head, take a whole lot of trouble, how does Kundalini awakening happen naturally? Those who have got their Realisation, many that are present here have got it, you did not know how it happened, but when you watch others who got their Realisation, then you will realise you have got it, because you reached the moon suddenly. How you reached there and what you did for that, you don’t know. There is a reason for that and also there is a purpose for that. Only when the time comes for fruition comes, the fruits are borne. But this does not mean whatever was happening before this was not necessary, that was also necessary, now the fruition is also necessary. Some say that in the last ten thousand years no one attained it, now why is it happening? Ten thousand years ago no one went to the Moon, now how have they gone? If it is happening now, why should you doubt it? Ramdas Swami said, ‘There are some people in this world who are called “padat moorak”, idiots; those who read a lot and become idiots. The same thing poet Kabir Das said, ‘Padi, padi pandit moorak baye’- “A scholar who reads a lot Read More …

Dhyan Kaise Karein, How to Meditate Mumbai (India)

Dhyan Kaise Karein, “How to Meditate”, Bombay 29 May 1976. I told you at Dadar how, in Sahaj Yoga, you first go into the state of tadatmya (oneness with the Divine). After the tadatmya one can attain the stage of samipya (Nearness to God) and then salokya (Companionship with God). But on achieving tadatmya, a person’s interest itself changes. On achieving the state of tadatmya, due to his experiences, a person immediately doesn’t desire to go down into the state of salokya and samipya. That means, when vibrations start flowing into your hands and when you feel the Kundalini of others and can raise their Kundalini, then your attention goes towards watching the Kundalini of others and understanding your own. You want to be alert about your chakras and understand other’s chakras also. If you look up towards the sky, even if there are clouds, you will see many types of Kundalinis, because now your attention has gone to Kundalini. Whatever you want to know about Kundalini, whatever you want to see, whatever desires you have, these will be revealed to you. Your interest in Kundalini grows and all other interests disappear by themselves. You can understand it like this: as you enter into adulthood, leaving behind the childhood, you have the interests of your adult life: your job, business, wife, family; you take interest only in these and all other interests drop off, old experiences fade away and your attention goes towards new experiences. Or you can understand it Read More …

God’s Love Balmohan Vidyamandir, Mumbai (India)

God’s Love (Parmatma ka Pyaar), Public Program, Bal Mohan Mandir, Mumbai (India) [Hindi to English Translation] I bow to all of you, seekers of truth. Yesterday you were present in big numbers at Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan. And in continuation, whatever needs to be told further, I am going to talk to you today. The topic was “Experiences Of Divine Love’. In today’s times when science is more prevalent, talking about God is laughable, and talking about God’s love is all the more laughable. Like I had mentioned yesterday, especially in India, the scientists here have not reached a state where they can think about God, it is sad to know. Whereas, in foreign countries, scientists have reached a state where they are unable to scientifically explain what’s next and they also say that, it is correct that whatever we know is falling in the parameters of science but what we know is nothing. The source of this knowledge is some weird thing that we are unable to understand. Like big scientists of Chemistry say that these periodic laws are beyond our understanding. It is a unique invention done so beautifully. The way each atom and molecule is designed. The way each atom contains a whole universe, this is beyond our understanding. They say that we can never invent something like this. We even can’t explain how this was invented. This earth is rotating at a particular speed and how and how the gravity is working on it? We can tell Read More …

Public Program: Parmatma ka swarup Mumbai (India)

Public Program, 03-03-1975 [English translation from Hindi] If you give even one rupee [UNCLEAR], then two lakh twenty thousand rupees will be needed to buy the land. It is not a show business [UNCLEAR]. Whatever one can contribute should contribute. That space is for you only, for your children and everyone. Not only meditation will be conducted there but people will also be cured, and they will get their self-realization. And it will be a great work of dharma [ethical practices]. We have never spent anything on our dharma, thinking about ‘self’ all the time, self-centred. Do something for dharma. Without dharma, there will be the empire of adharma [unethical practices] in this world. If adharma is established, then you will not get the joy of your money, you will not get the joy of your children, you will not be able to enjoy anything.  This place is being developed for the establishment of dharma. You all know that I don’t need money at all. I will also contribute money for buying this land. By the grace of God, I don’t need anyone’s money. But everyone should contribute here. So many people come to Mataji [Shri Mataji]. They say, “Mataji please cure my father, Mataji please cure my sister, please cure my brother.” I have cured so many like this. But at the time of contributing money, they run away. That’s allright. I don’t get upet with such people. It’s all about your own dharma. Whoever contributes, will is authorized. Read More …

Public Program Day 2 Birla Kreeda Kendra, Mumbai (India)

Public Program, 26-03-1974, Mumbai, India. God’s existence or His non-existence doesn’t depend on whether you trust God or not. However, much I may say that God exists, even if you believe it, it is not going to make any difference. If you do not believe, it is in your ignorance that you do not believe; even if you believe it, it is still in your ignorance. Without getting it – Self Realisation, even believing will be still ignorance; not believing will also be ignorance. So, when I am talking on this subject, you should sit with an open mind like a scientist, like a researcher who doesn’t know anything, who doesn’t have any preconceived ideas, who has not thought of anything in the beginning. I do not know how many books have been written on this subject. It is like a vast ocean. I do not know; how many have written untruths in these books. What is the identity of truth and untruth? The identity of truth is that it is obvious in every circumstance and on any criterion, if that cannot be proven to be a lie, that is truth.  Whatever discussion I will have with you or whatever I tell you, listening to it like a scientist, means that I am placing before you a hypothesis, a concept. I can prove this to you later and those who are sitting here and are familiar with My work, they know that it is proved. But keep your mind open. Read More …

Public Program Day 1 Birla Kreeda Kendra, Mumbai (India)

Public Program [English translation from Hindi] What is the meaning of Param Tatva, the ultimate element? How does it create? What is it? Lots of books have been written about it. Lots of speeches, lots of discourses were given about it in this world. Much has been said about it. The word ‘Param’ is emblematic of Paramatma. This is divine power, which dwells in each atom and molecule and sets in motion and does God’s work. If you tell this and talk like this, no one believes this in this era. No one agrees with this. But, as I told you even earlier, I saw a picture recently in London in which molecules of sulphur dioxide were shown. It was shown that between sulphur and oxygen molecules, there was a bond between them and waves were coming out and even scientists call them vibrations. This was seen and you can also see with your eyes. Scientists can tell about what is a molecule and what is an atom, how they are and how they are located. The scientist can tell about the zad tatva ( root element). But about the Chaitanya (conscious) which gets agitated in it what they refer to as vibrations, they are quite ignorant and they can not tell you anything about it. Everywhere, that tatva is getting agitated; it is in the matter, flora and fauna and you. They are agitated in their place and the whole is also conscious. That means that the param tatva Read More …

Sahaja Yoga ki Utpatti, The origin of Sahaja Yoga Birla Kreeda Kendra, Mumbai (India)

“The Origin of Sahaja Yoga”, Public program, Birla Sport Center, Bombay (India), 12 July 1973  Love does not have any language, so there are no words to describe it. When our mother loves us, how can she describe her love? Similarly, when God Almighty loved us and created this universe, He had no words to describe His love.  When a human being has prepared their instrument, that’s when they can begin to praise God. I have not been given a particular subject for discussion today by the organisers of the program as we have three days to fully understand everything.  Today I will talk about evolution.  What I say will be hypothetical. All scientific experiments begin with a hypothesis. Hypothesis means: whatever is the discovery of science, that assumption should be presented to the audience, and the truth within that hypothesis is researched. The day that hypothesis is proven, that’s when it is considered a law of science. Similarly, what I say is a hypothesis to you, that can be proven and shown to you all.  Also, all that has been documented and observed in historic documents can prove this hypothesis. But the proof should not be in accepting what is being said in documents or by a certain person but should be in the experience. Today I will talk about evolution. It is the day of “pratham” [beginning] and I will explain the relationship of this day with Sahaja Yoga. It is said that Brahma is beyond evolution, Brahma Read More …

Seven Chakras and their Deities, Paane ke baad New Delhi (India)

Public program, talk after Self-realization, “Seven Chakras and their Deities” (Paane ke baad), translated from Hindi, November 25th,1973, Delhi, India That you have to do nothing at all. It happens in “Sahaj” (Hindi word सहज) .In day-to-day language, the meaning of word Sahaj (सहज) is ‘easy’. The origin of this word is from ‘Saha’ (सह)  and ‘Ja’ (ज). These two words make the word ‘Sahaj’, meaning ‘easy’. Means that is ‘born with you.’ , like the eyes born with us, the nose born with us, we don’t have to look after their functioning. Because of this no complete reflection falls on this. If there is a lake which has no ripples the  beauty surrounding the lake  completely reflects on it. Not only this, but also becomes one with it. . Similarly, when you look at some beautiful sight, look at Divine creation, you will become thoughtless. On becoming thoughtless the power of joy that lies in that (Divine creation), it gets fully reflected in you.You get fully identified with it (become one with it).  In the same way, [Unclear] God Almighty has adorned the creation in many ways for you. Extreme beauty is spread spread all over. Just by getting into the source of that beauty that joy is created in you. You were born only to see that joy and not to make yourself miserable unnecessarily. [Unclear] Many people have also asked what we have to do going forward? Now what is to be done? Just have to witness. Read More …
