Christmas Puja: Transformation Ganapatipule (India)
Christmas Puja. Ganapatipule (India), 25 December 1988. Today, we all Sahaja Yogis are standing on the brink of the ocean, ocean of humanity, where we have to face the problems of human beings. Otherwise, in the nature there are no problems, they are all already solved. So, one has to understand that it’s not just a movement of few people, chosen people, just to achieve Self-realization, but it’s a big revolution which has to bring forth the beauties of human beings, the glories of human beings, the proof of divinity, of divine power and of God Almighty. We have to now face that multitude of people who are absolutely ignorant compared to you, who have not known the knowledge of God, who are either lost into the darkness of ignorance or are burning in the fire of ego. We have to transform this world into a new world, a beautiful world which you all are enjoying, to establish it, to be established on this earth, for which we have to prepare ourselves. So far, Sahaja Yoga means blessings; if somebody is less blessed, they ask Me questions, “How is it, Mother, we haven’t got this when we are praying to You? Why did it not work out? It should have happened, after all we are worshipping You, so how is it that my son did not get the job?” So, I mean, as if it’s sort of a, some debts have to be paid to all the Sahaja Yogis by Read More …
Devi Puja: You all have to help Me Brahmapuri (India)
Puja Talk, Brahmapuri (India), 20 December 1988. Translation from Marathi – MISSING English Transcript Place, which we call as Brahmapuri here called, perhaps, may be because here Shri Ramadasa, the guru of Shivaji Maharaj, in these deep waters found the statue of Shri Rama, Sita, Lakshmana and Hanumana together. Then they were carried from here and put in a temple called Chapar, the place where I saw that also. And there we have Hanumanas. Eleven Hanumanas came out of the Mother Earth to say that he was the incarnation of Hanumana. Also at Chapar, there was a Hanuman like that. And then people wanted to build a temple, very rich man from Bombay, Mafatlal & Company, they wanted to turn the face of Hanumana according to the architect’s idea. So, they went on digging, digging, digging, went about they say so one thousand feet, I don’t know, it must be a big effort. But they could not find the end of that stone. It was just going on and on and on and they didn’t understand how it is so long as that and it has just exactly the size of the statue of Shri Hanumana has come up. So the story is like this here about the incarnations and the different swayambus, where they say that they were created by themselves. It’s mostly about Ganesha also is like this: that there is a bhakta who gets his realization, the one who asks for God’s grace gets his realization like Read More …
Devi Puja Talk: How We Earn Our Punyas Pune (India)
Puja at India Tour. Pune (India), 17 December 1988. Translation from Marathi – MISSING English Transcript So now welcome to you all for this Puna place. In the Shastras is described as Punya Patana, meaning the city of Punyas. That’s the reason I wanted to stay in Puna, thinking that people are very auspicious and full of punyas, and I am sure I’ll find them very soon, all those who have come to this place will be there available for Sahaja Yoga. Yesterday you must have seen there were so many people who had come for Sahaja Yoga and were very much impressed by your beautiful music, and the rendering in Marathi language and what we call is they felt the kautuk. Kautuk is the, there’s no word in English, but what a father or a mother when she sees the talents of her children feels, you see, that feeling is a kautuka, and that’s what they were all feeling very much enamored that how these people have taken to Marathi language, and they were very happy about it. I could see on their faces writ large their joy and a kind of a fondness for it, such an endearing thing for them. First of all is the language, another is the music because, you know Maharastrans are very fond of Indian music so they were very much surprised how you could sing in such a beautiful way the tunes and the different talas that you use. They were very Read More …
Birthday Puja (no sound) Mumbai (India)
Birthday Puja, Mumbai (India), 21 March 1988. I have told them, in Marathi language because most of them are Maharashtrians here, that in every part of the country one has to work hard and one has to spread Sahaja Yoga with complete dedication and understanding. That today is the day for us to achieve that power, to absorb that power by which we are going to spread Sahaja Yoga all over the world. It’s you who can enlighten other people. It’s you who can show them the path and it’s you who can bring forth this new transformation which has been promised thousands of years back. That is going to happen and should happen in our country, much more than in any other country. But, what I find, it is working out better in other countries than in India. The reason, I try to find out why Indians can not get to Sahaja Yoga with that depth. They may be in numbers but not in that depth. What is the reason, why can’t they get into that depth and when I try to locate, I shouldn’t say this today but it is a very obvious thing that we had such great and great people like Shri Rama, Shri Krishna, great saints, people in our ancient times. Such ideals, very great kings that we have, ideals of the highest types before us. And when we started following them, we developed a very special type of character which is called as hypocrisy, Read More …
Devi Puja Talk: God is Satchitanand (Marathi talk not on the video) Ganapatipule (India)
Puja Talk, India Tour. Ganapatipule (India), 6 January 1988. It is said that God is Satchitanand. He is truth, He is attention and He is joy. In Sahaja Yoga, first you have discovered the truth. Discover the truth on your fingertips. The truth that you can discover on your central nervous system is the truth. First you discover the truth and you can tell about it, talk about, explain about it but you cannot give it to others unless and until the other person gets Realization. So, the truth has to be tested. One has to test on the fingertips the existence of truth. Otherwise all kinds of descriptions are of no weight. No one can understand what you are talking about when you tell them that you can feel the All-pervading power of Gods’ love around you. And then you start experiencing your attention. You start feeling that there is somebody, some force, some power, some organization is looking after you. Gradually you find your own attention becomes active. Today I am happy to say that I can tell you all these things openly, so clearly. But can you believe that 20 years back even in India nobody could talk about it because something Agamya, not to be known, not to be understood because your attention has become enlightened. With your enlightened attention you are listening to Me that’s why you are understand what I am saying. You attention itself has become active now and it baffles you sometimes Read More …
Talk: Being Bandhamukta – A free personality and Evening Program Ganapatipule (India)
Ganapatipule Seminar, India Tour. Ganapatipule (India), 5 January 1988. From yesterday’s programme, and all these days, you must have realised that to get your Kundalini working out, to get Her rush towards the Sahasrara and to widen your Sushumna Nadi it is not necessary that you should sit for meditation for three to five hours. Of course, you must meditate for a short time because that is at a point where you are alone, one with your God. But otherwise in the collective, when you merge into it, then the Kundalini rises the same way. It’s a very discreet way of understanding what happens. In the collective when you are, you compensate each other, complement each other, and a subtler side of the cosmos starts manifesting in you. Then if you could really merge there’s a word ’emerge’ in Sanskrit language or in Marathi language is very good is ‘ramamaana’. I don’t think “merging with joy” but there is no ‘with’ you see, merging into joy. So if you can merge into the joy of anything that is sahaj you can become a meditative personality, you can achieve that meditative mood within yourself. With that mood, with that force, new subtler dimensions start breaking out within you. Your different kind of conditionings which are like shackles, binding you down, just open out and you become a free person – bandhamukta. With that force everything breaks: your ego breaks, your conditioning breaks and you become one with the joy of life, Read More …
Yuva Shakti Starts and Evening Program Ganapatipule (India)
Idea to start Yuva Shakti, Ganapatipule (India), 4 January 1988. Mr. Pradhan is a very humble person. He didn’t tell you, that we have started a, I mean, he actually brought the idea to start a, another subsidiary you can call it, or whichever way you may say, another parallel movement, called as “Yuva Shakti”. Which is meant for the young people in Sahaja Yoga. For their guidance, for their expression, and for their dedication. And, this is spreading so fast now that I am told we have got Yuva Shakti even in Pune. And may be, it might spread to other places, to other countries, so that they can correspond, have a rapport, try to understand each other. So, this is a new movement, which was really suggested by Mr. Pradhan, and I really heartily congratulate him for putting it into action. (Applause). No doubt, we must care for our young people. And look after them and give them their due respect and they must know their due duties towards Sahaja Yoga. I found them to be excellent workers, very dedicated innocent hands that I have got. I am very proud of them. And please give them a hand to all the young people. (Applause). So there will be, we have another group, now here, it is Ashis who has come from Nagpur. He is a realized soul. He is a born realized, you see. And, like that we have many. Now here we have Ashok who is going Read More …
We should have patience, sweetness and genuineness, Evening Program Ganapatipule (India)
Talk to yogis, India Tour. Ganapatipule (India), 3 January 1988. I hope you are all very comfortable now and that you are enjoying the food as well. [Applause] Also we are approaching the fag end of our tour. This tour was arranged, as you know, like a journey through your Sushumna Nadi at different, different points different, different Chakras. In the same way we have passed through various places and now we have reached Ganapatipule where we have to get our Sahasrara fully drenched with blessings of Shri Ganesh. As you know Sahaja Yoga is a very subtler happening within us. It’s a very subtler happening and this subtler happening gives you sensitivity to Divine joy. When you start getting the Divine joy you don’t care for any comforts, you don’t care for all worldly type of pleasure giving things. To you, this becomes the most important thing and the only thing. Apart from that you start seeing the truth as it is. When I say you start seeing the truth many people can misuse this word. I’ve seen many people saying that they can decide things on vibrations and they have decided certain things on vibrations. But they commit mistakes. That means they have not yet grown up to that state where they can decide on vibrations. So nobody should arbitrarily decide but consult the collective, especially your leaders to find out if whatever decision you have taken, whatever you have thought of, is it all right or not.

May all the choicest flowers of joy and happiness be showered upon you. May God give you wisdom to become great Sahaja Yogis, so that a new world can be created beautifully out of you.

There are certain problems which arise sometimes when you don’t listen to Me. So whatever I have said about swimming, the timings, please keep to it. We have to give up our old conditionings, and we have to start a new life of understanding and wisdom.

Talk: Marriage & Nirvikalpa and Evening Program Kolhapur (India)
Kolhapur (India), 30 December 1987. [Talk] After coming from a hectic shopping … have you been able to get your chappels. Yes? Not yet. Even tomorrow morning you can do some shopping if you want and you can go in the afternoon from here. You have reach there at about 9 o’clock or something. Today when I was coming from the shopping, I couldn’t get into the car. One foot was inside, and another would not leave it. So I came out of the car and then I knew that Mahalakshmi’s temple there were bells ringing and the aarti was on. So [INAUDIBLE WORD] Mahalakshmi didn’t want me to get into the car. I had to stand outside ’till the whole thing was over. And then suddenly everything was all right. My foot was completely glued and I couldn’t lift it. First I didn’t know what was happening, then I suddenly [I… del] realized, and I felt that still the place is, despite all the nonsense they do there, still the place has got lots of vibrations, and is still there the Mahalakshmi’s temple. Now, we have to understand, that in the name of religion so many wrong things have taken place. They are doing all kinds of wrong things. It’s all anti-religious activities. For example, in this beautiful temple of Mahalakshmi where there is a swayambhu of Mahalakshmi, which has come out of the Mother Earth, people are using black magic. There are tantrikas sitting. In the back of Read More …
Christmas Puja: Reach Completion of Your Realization Pune (India)
Christmas Puja. Pune (India), 25 December 1987. [English Translation from Marathi – missing] [English Transcript] Today is the great day, when a great son of the Goddess was born, at least it is celebrated today. And you are all assembled here to celebrate the birthday of Christ. You already know how He came on this earth, and what was His great work. But we must see to the subtle side of Christ. What was His power? Christ’s power was, of course, Omkara. His power was Pranava. But the essence of Christ was tapasya, tapasvita. He is the incarnation of tapasya, and in that incarnation is a sinless personality. He’s sinless. Of course incarnations never commit sins. But apparently things that look like sins are also not in His life story. Like one can say that Shri Rama gave up His wife, so it is a sinful thing. Of course those who understand the subtleties of Shri Rama’s life will know that it’s stupid to say such a thing. Or Shri Krishna’s life, they might say He married so many women. But in Christ’s life you do not find anything that could be pointed out as a mistake, even a slightest mistake. It’s a very straightforward life, absolutely pure life and doing no commitments of ambiguous nature. But it’s very surprising that Christianity is just the opposite of what Christ wanted it to be. They painted Him so differently, brought Him out so differently and made a mess of His life. Read More …

Devi Puja: The Duties of a Guru Ganapatipule (India)
Talk to yogis, Ganapatipule (India), 3 January 1987. English Today is the third day of the Moon. Third day of the Moon is Tritiya, is the special day for the virgins. Kundalini is the virgin desire. It is virgin because it has not yet manifested itself. And also, on the third center of Nabhi, the virgins appear as shaktis of Guru. As we have got ten Gurus which we regard as the main Gurus they all had either their sister or daughter as their shakti. In the Bible it is said that, in the Old Testament, that the one who will be coming will be born of a virgin. And then the Jews would not accept Christ so they said that “It’s not written as virgin, it’s written ‘the girl’.” Now in Sanskrit Language ‘girl’ and ‘the virgin’ are one word. We did not have 80-year-old girls as we have nowadays. So the virginity of a woman meant that she was a girl who was not married as yet or who has not met her husband so far. That is the essence of purity, which was the power of the Guru Principle. So, for a Guru who is in charge of leading others into enlightenment, has to know that his power is to be used as a virgin power of pure power. A Guru cannot use this power in a way an ordinary person can use. So his relationship with his disciples whether they are boys or girls has to be absolutely Read More …
Evening Program, Beauty Must Have Auspiciousness Ganapatipule (India)
Evening Program, Beauty Must Have Auspiciousness God almighty created this universe, in a very beautiful manner. I have told you many a time the story of creation, and how the evolution took place. The mirror is made to see your face, and God almighty could not see himself: His qualities, His greatness, His generosity, His magnanimity. Like the sun cannot see itself. Moon cannot see itself. Like the gold cannot see itself. A pearl, how can it go inside itself and see itself? So, this creation was made like a mirror for God to see His reflection. Ultimately He created the most beautiful mirror that is human beings. At this point it would have been alright, if Adam and Eve had not used their freedom wrongly. There would have been not such a long time and, had to go through evolutionary process with all the incarnations coming in, guiding people. And today, at this time, to get to your spirit, to express God in your mirror fully. This has taken a long long process. But if you see it’s so beautifully done. I think that’s the play of Mahamaya. That, first of all, beautiful worlds were created, beautiful start were created, you see them around. Then beautiful mountains and rivers. Then beautiful plant kingdom came in, and the beautiful variety of trees. So much of varieties. Varieties bring forth the beauty of God’s own imagination. A leaf of any tree cannot match with any other leaf, and also of the Read More …
Talk on Innocence & Musical Program (Morning) Ganapatipule (India)
Talk about Innocence, Ganapatipule (India), 2 January 1987. Today, in this blessed place of Mahaganesha, we have all assembled to go deep into our own beings, to enjoy our own glory. One has to remember that the very first thing God created on this earth was Shri Ganesha because He could emit holiness. He exists as chaitanya and this chaitanya exists in the atom and molecules as you know very well, as vibrations – symmetric and isometric. These vibrations later on start expressing themselves in the plant kingdom as life force and you see how they are kept under a bondage. A tree that is a mango tree will go up to a certain point. A coconut tree will grow up to a certain point. It’s all under control, and then it is expressed in the animals, where it binds them. That’s why they are called as pashus, means under bondage. But in the human being it is expressed as auspiciousness and ultimately as the epitome, as holiness. Holiness is to be understood in its essence as well as in its contents.Holiness is an innate quality of a personality, where a person rejects all that is unholy, all that is inauspicious. The ego doesn’t play any part. Up to the animal stage, ego doesn’t exist. But in the human stage, you are given freedom to choose whether you want holiness or not. But in the ego of man, he might say, “What’s wrong?” and he may defy all the rules 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 …
