Talk to Doctors Dr. V. M. Government Medical College, Solapur (India)

Talk to Doctors, Dr. V.M. Medical College. Sholapur (India), 31 January 1984. Our Respected Dean Dr Srivastava, the staff, the members of this medical college and all the seekers of their Love for God, I bow to all. It is such a tremendous joy for me to be able to speak to the people of such noble profession, as medicine. I myself put in some part of my life into the studies of medical science because I knew one day in future I may have to talk to them. I have all respect for that profession. And, in no way Sahaja yoga could be a challenge to this. Though Dr. Thakkar has asked me to speak on that line, because love never challenges. This is the power of love and to talk about power of love, one must understand that it has no power to challenge. Now medical science is like all other sciences, is a science or the knowledge of the tree that is outside that we see. Actually, factually, we can see with these – our senses, whichever are they, gross as they call it. And to know about the tree, one way is to know about the leaves and the branches, but could be that if you have to treat the tree, it would be better to go to the roots than to go to one leaf or to go to one branch because unless and until you know how to go to the roots, you start Read More …

Vastu Shanti Puja: Get out of your conditioning Pandharpur (India)

Vastu Shanti puja, 1982-12-31, Pandharpur Center, Maharashtra, India, during India tour Suddenly it was all arranged by them and the whole thing was so cool and you also had not come so I thought I’d better start the program with them. So, this is the condition in this country, that now, wherever I go, you tell and you get five to six thousand people and one can give them Realization. I have to request you people also to expedite something in your own countries. First of all, you people have to get well, that’s very important. That is one thing we must realise that we have come here to get out of our conditionings. We have so many conditionings! First of all, our comfort, that we have to be comfortable we have to do this, I mean we don’t want to do anything that will give a trouble to our body. That’s not a good thing. Try to put this body to some trouble at least. 0:54 Moreover, this idea of having comfort is so much a conditioning within us, so much of a conditioning, that in this country, there are so many people who live without a bathroom. They go to the river, they have their bath there, they go to the jungles and that’s how they live. They are human beings of very good quality you can see. While the comfort has ruined you quite a lot you must understand; comfort, all these things, these are terrible conditioning. Read More …

(1982-0201) [NOTE] This is a discussion on TM beginning with Shri Mataji speaking in Marathi, followed by Marcus and Rustom in English on the techniques of TM, and its effects. Shri Mataji: हा, आता सांगायचं म्हणजे TM मध्ये सगळी भूतविद्या स्मशाणविद्या असते. आणि ते काय करतात, कि तुमच्यात हि भूत घालतात, आणि ते भूतं तुम्हाला वेडयासारखी करून टाकतात. अहो, लोकांना इतकं म्हणजे, भीती बसते कि त्यांना जर तुम्ही लसूण दाखवलं तर थरथर थरथर कापतात. लसणाला भितात, म्हणजे भाजीला भितात, म्हणजे काय हे? माणसाला इतकं युजलेस करून टाकलेलंय. इतकंच नव्हे लसणा तरचच तर सोडा, पण त्यांची हि स्थिती आहे कि त्या लोकांना जर तुम्ही एखादा धूप जाळला, किंवा देवाचं नाव घेतलं तर थरथर थरथर होतात. बरं, would you like to say something about TM? Someone? Varey? Someone, what happens with TM? Would you like to say something Marcus? Please tell them, because now they are coming to India and trying to show TM technique, better tell them. आणि उडण्याचे यांचे फोटो घेतले कि, आम्ही उडतोय म्हणून म्हणजे काय करायचं कि अस स्परिंग वर बसवायचं, सांगतात ना, आणि मग म्हणायचं कि आम्ही उडतोय. म्हणजे जसं आपण आता घोडयावर वगैरे बसायचा प्रयत्न केला आणि शिकलो जसं सर्कशीत असतं तसं थोडंसं एक मिनिट वर येतो मनुष्य. त्यांचे फोटो …… यांच्या सगळया मांड्या सगळया घासलेल्या, खाली सगळी हाडं मोडलेली, अशा स्थितीत हे माझ्याकडे आले, विचारा त्यांना.

Republic Day puja, Lonavala, India, 1982-0126 On puja and seers. Shri Mataji: Before that, I know that people think this time, this, but we have to go according to the auspicious time, isn’t it? Because to get maximum effects, so we have to start puja later. I also went for bath afterwards.So this is what it is. One has to understand that when you start the puja is very important.[Shri Mataji talks aside in Marathi]Sahaja Yogi: Presents….Shri Mataji: Ah!! Seventeen past eleven. I didn’t see this. I didn’t see this book.Sahaja Yogi: This pratipadha is the first day of Navaratri “Maghi Navaratri” we call which is auspicious week.

Makar Sankranti Puja Pune (India)

Makar Sankranti Puja, Pune (India), January 1st, 1981 [Shri Mataji speaks first in Marathi; English starts at 24:51] I’m sorry I’ve not been able to speak to you in English language – and I’ve spoken some time. This special day today is the day of Sankranta. San, you know. ‘San’ means “good, holy” and ‘krant’ means the – [Shri Mataji speaks in Marathi] . When I speak Marathi I forget English. Sahaja Yogis: Revolution. Shri Mataji: Revolution. Holy revolution. Holy. And that’s what I’m telling them. What is the Holy Revolution is, that your own Dharma is established now through Sahaja Yoga, you know what is your dharma. Because if you don’t do your own dharmas you’ll be lost. Your vibrations will be lost. You’ll immediately know that in your seeking you have lost something. You’ll be affected and so you have to correct. That’s not so difficult.But to make it a Sankranta – the Holy Revolution – you have to take to new, new religion, new steps. First of all, your own steps should be enlightened, and then you have to establish new steps to go ahead. And these are the new steps which are different for the Westerners and different for the Easterners. Just now I told them about the Eastern style and then I’ll tell you later on about the Western. We have to have new ideals, new styles because we are the courageous people, we are the valiant people. We have to fight the war of love, Read More …

He is going to give you that which is promised –the kingdom of God Patkar Hall, Mumbai (India)

1980-01-02 Public Program, New Year, Mumbai At Patkar Hall I have to speak in English language. I hope you wont start off with language problem. Because love does not have any language. I am talking about love. Of God’s love. That He in His love has created this beautiful universe. In His love He brought you from amoeba to this stage. And in His love He is going to give you that which is promised –the kingdom of God. To do all these things you had to pass through a certain circle of evolution by which you have been brought to this stage of human being and you have to evolve to a higher awareness which is higher than that of a human being. By which you can become the instrument of God’s love and to feel His love and to be endowed by His love and to be graced by Him. And His love is His power. That is His light. Only because He loved this world He created you, the whole universe. And if you have to get your realisation also it is He who has organised within you long time back a method by which you have to have it. So even to say that sahaja yoga is something modern could not be correct. But sahaja yoga has been throughout, is the living process of the whole creation. Sahaja — is born with you. As the seed sprouts you also can sprout. This has been with us Read More …

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

Public Program Day 2, Birla Krida Kendra, Mumbai (Hindi), 15 January 1979. It is worth mentioning that a public program has happened for the first time though we have had such programs from this cooperation in this building in the past and many people benefitted from it. Today, I am going to tell you some things about your selves. Perhaps you people don’t realize why God has created you and you don’t even wonder just why did the Divine have to work so hard into creating such beautiful creatures like yourselves. Why did God create you as a human being, you don’t ponder on this question because you have no time to think about who we are and why have we arrived in this world. After all, what is the purpose of all this, after aeons and aeons when you have evolved from the stage of an amoeba, what is the purpose? We don’t think about these things. The reason being, our attention is always on the external matter. Our attention cannot internalize itself. If I ask you to look inwards, what lies inside you, you people cannot. You will ask me, “Mother, how is it possible that we can internalize our attention?” I am seeing you people, whose attention is always on outer things but if I tell you to internalize your attention, it looks very difficult for you. How is it possible that we take our attention inwards, know ourselves and realize who we are. The doctors will Read More …

What is the Kundalini and how it awakens Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Mumbai (India)

Talk in Hindi at the Bharat Vidya Bhavan, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. 9 January 1979. [English Translation from Hindi] I feel glad about meeting everyone. A human being reads, listen from people, listen to lectures, big scholars come and give lectures, many books have been written, that there is a kingdom of God in this world. God has made this world. Do your hand like this. Sit like this till I give the lecture. During this only kundalini will be awakened. Today I am going to tell you what is kundalini and how it can be awakened. Yesterday I told you that the human body we are looking at today, powers running this human body are flowing inside us. Though we do not know those secret flow of energy because of which we have all the powers today. We do the business of our body, mind, intellect, ego, etc. From science, we have known about them. We have only known that there is some autonomous nervous system that runs everything. These powers do this work and we can’t say much about these powers like how these powers are and how they work. The process of knowing anything can be your search for that thing in the darkness. Like you have come in this room, and there is darkness here, so you explore it slowly and find out what it is. Some people who have come from this door, they might say that it is a pole. Some may have come from Read More …

Teen Shaktiya (Three Powers) Mumbai (India)

“Teen Shaktiyan” “Three Powers”, Seminar & Meeting, 21st January 1975, Mumbai (Dadar)  [Hindi to English Translation v1] Just like a gardener cultivates a garden and nurtures it with love, and then he watches out for the blooming flowers in the garden, the joy the gardener feels upon seeing those flowers is inexplicable.  The name ‘Krishna’ is derived from ‘Krishi’. ‘Krishi’, you know, is ‘agriculture’. During Shri Krishna’s time it was primarily agriculture, and during Christ’s time it was irrigated with his blood. The fertile land of this world has been adorned by so many incarnations before.  Today, in this age of Kali Yuga, the time has come when we can witness the blossoming of of that farming, to breathe in the fragrance of those flowers. These vibrations [Chaitanya Lehriyān] flowing from your hands is the same fragrance, because of which the entire world, the entire creation and the entire nature is functioning.  But today you are those chosen flowers, chosen over the ages, to blossom so that today your vibrations and your fragrance should spread across the world, cleanse its sludge and eliminate the filth of this ocean of illusion [Maya Sagar].  When looking at it, one may wonder how it is possible, Mataji is making a big statement. But this is a continuous process [Silsila] and, when the destination has arrived in front you, then thinking, “Why it has arrived? How has it come? How can this happen? When you were walking, did the destination not arrive? When you Read More …
