THE FAMILY OF SAHAJA YOGIS

Jai Shri Mataji !!!

Yesterday (28/3/12) I was dragged by worldly detractions and was very much dejected . After the office hours  I thought of paying a visit to the 'Coir board exhibition' organized by  MSME.  My wife asked me to buy some particular type of item.  Comparing to the plastic and other synthetic items, the handmade and other natural  items emit some sort of vibration and they are eco-friendly.  I have seen beautiful khurta-pyjama and beautifully designed door mats made out of coir/coconut  fibre , etc.

As the item needed by me was not readily available, a politely talking lady asked me to wait for some 10 minutes and the same is on its way.  To woo the visitors some cultural programme was going on and I was enjoying it for some time.  However, the thing has not come.  The polite lady was attending other customers also smilingly . As it was more than 30 minutes, when enquired she regretted for the delay.  As there was no crowd I started talking with her and asked where her shop was to which she replied 'Zoo Road'.  I told I go there on Sundays for my meditation class.  That lady asked me many questions about our Meditation centre and upon hearing 'Kundalini awakening', her face lighted up. 

She started on listing the health problems she was having and the medicines she is taking. I wondered though she was seemingly a gentle lady but she has lot of health and mental stress/problems.  She repeatedly requested me to pay a visit to her place to enlighten her on Sahaja Yoga.  There itself she got instant Self-realization also through Shri Mataji's blessings.  

WHICH GOD IS SUPREME ?????

Hi Brother/Sister !

Thanks for reading this blog.

All these days you must be worshiping some chosen deity.  You can't deny it.  Even a small size of some God's/holy personality's photograph must be kept safe inside your valet, book, or somewhere.  It is not wrong to concentrate ourselves on some chosen God.

Normally the Holy Vedas preached by the Indian holy men are considered to be containing the supreme truth.  This is advocated by even western scholars like  Max Muller and others.  It is always good to worship the formless God .  As it is difficult to concentrate, out of compassion the Creator has come down to the earth taking different forms at different times as per need of the situation  to lead us to the righteous path.

Supposing we are having lots of wealth and a portion of the same is put into say, State Bank of India .
The Bank people should not think , considering the huge money , that they are the only custodian of our all properties.  They may not be knowing in which other banks we have deposited what quantum of money in addition to land,  jewelery, etc.  Similarly, we should understand that manifestation of God in the form Ram , Krishan, Jesus, Allah , Shakti, Buddha, are just a part of His wholesomeness.

The Holy vedas rightly say in "Purusha-sooktam"  that whatever is there in the universe is just One forth of His manifestation.  It further says that the Virat Purusha (Paramatma) is spreading Himself everywhere.  The other three-forth is in hidden condition, that is not manifested.  The vedas also say in "Narayana Sooktam" that the purusha is residing inside our heart taking most tiny figure  like a very small shining flame.

Then you may ask who are Ramas,  Krishnas and other Gods.  As we could not understand the manifestation of the Creator, he , out of compassion, comes down as a human being, lives amongst us and teach us the way of life.    As all sastras proclaim, we should understand one thing whether we feel it or not that He resides inside ALL OF US , whether we accept it or not.  Yes, he resides inside our heart as the soul & spirit.  But to realise Him we should have a mother.  She is called Kundalini Shakti which is residing below our back bone seated majestically in the 'sacrum bone'.  She is the divine electricity of our body.  When that electricity is awakened all colours of light will shine, AC will be on, divine TV will be showing us many plays , friends , believe this !!!

But the question is who will awaken that electricity, because there is always a fear of short-cut, etc. In fact all the above said divine personalities and many preachers know the technique of awakening this.  But most of the yogis did it for their own sadhana only and they just imparted the divine knowledge to their disciples. In that course they might have done some miracles also.  But brothers & sisters !!! This is not the aim of our life.
We SHOULD feel that awakening of that Kundalini shakti.  What will happen thereafter ?   By the process of awakening it, our small portion of divine power is getting connected with the omnipresent God's power.  So what ???  We become the real REALIZED SOUL.  Thereafter we may remain like any ordinary person doing our all household works.  But something takes place within us which can not be explained.  The instant result is that we can feel a gentle cool breeze on the top of our head and also palms.

All holy scriptures including Christianity/Islam talks about this but in different names.

The million dollar question is who will awaken my Kundalini ?   If you go to some sadhus they may say it is very difficult to achieve and  even threaten that it may have some side-effect.  Nothing like that.  If a closed room is all of a sudden opened after a month and you start brooming it, naturally there would be some dust.
Similarly, there may be a little heat because of your system not getting cleaned all these years.  But after this happens, you become a joyous person.

However, to hold on this condition, you have to meditate for at least 10 minutes in the mornings/evenings.

The mother-like lady Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi did this for the past 40 years untiringly and unassumingly THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. She has attained Maha Samadhi at Her 88th year of age just on the 23rd February 2011.  Still Her divine photograph emits vibrating to cleanse our system and awakens our divine power sleeping inside us.

If we want to achieve something, without putting many questions should  at least try as to  what is this.

Enough is said.  Now it is your duty to log in to www.Sahajayoga.org and get the divine blessings.

May God bless you . ....
     

   


  

Birth and Childhood Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi was born on March 21, 1923 to a Christian family in Chindawara, India. Her parents were Prasad and Cornelia Salve, direct descendants of the royal Shalivahana dynasty. Seeing the beauty of this child who was born with a spotless brilliance, they called her Nirmala, which means 'Immaculate'. Later on she came to be known by the multitudes by the name of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi - the revered Mother who was born with her complete Self Realization and knew from a very young age that she had a unique gift which had to be made available to all mankind. Her parents played a key role in India's Liberation Movement from under British rule. Her father, a close associate of Mahatma Gandhi, was a member of the Constituent Assembly of India and helped write free India's first constitution. He was a renowned scholar, master of 14 languages, and translated the Koran in Marathi. Her mother was the first woman in India to receive an Honors Degree in Mathematics. Fighting for India's Freedom Shri Mataji Nirmala DeviAs a child, Shri Mataji lived with her parents in the ashram of Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi saw the wisdom of this child and used to appreciate her immensely, affectionately calling her Nepali due to the Nepali features of her face. Even at a young age, her deep understanding was evident to Gandhi, who frequently sought her advice on spiritual matters. Shri Mataji's Involvement in India's Freedom StruggleShri Mataji's involvement in the freedom struggle is extremely remarkable. She was very courageous and played a daring role as a youth leader of this campaign. In the 1942 "Quit India Movement" announced by Gandhi, she was even arrested and put in jail along with other freedom fighters for actively participating in this movement. Shri Mataji was born with a complete understanding of the human nervous system and its energetic counterparts. In order to become acquainted with the scientific vocabulary attached to these subjects, she studied medicine and psychology at the Christian Medical College in Lahore. back to top Sahaja Yoga is born Shortly before India achieved independence she married Sir. C.P. Srivastava, one of India's most dedicated civil servant officers, who was knighted by the Queen of England. In India it is believed that the wife brings luck to her husband - this is most certainly the case for Sir. C.P. Srivastava. He rose in government ranks very quickly though he was an absolutely honest person. He held the post of the Joint Secretary to the Prime Minister's office of the late Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri in the years 1964-66. Shastri himself was an ideal model for a Prime Minister in India's political history. Afterwards he was elected for 16 consecutive years to be the Secretary General of the United Nations International Maritime Organization. As Sir C.P. Srivastava moved in fame from the Indian history to the worldly scene, Shri Mataji, after fulfilling her familial duty of bringing up her two daughters, embarked on her spiritual mission. Although she knew about her own spiritual consciousness she did not know how to present it to the people of modern times. She was also aware of the problems encountered by the earlier spiritual personalities who came on this earth like Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, and others when they prophesized the truth directly to the people. As she was pondering on the many faceted problems confronting human beings, on the 5th of May, 1970, on a lonely beach of Nargol (about 150 km from Mumbai) a divine spiritual experience filled her whole being and suddenly she found an answer to her question. She discovered a historical process of en-masse Self Realisation through which thousands of people could get this connection to their Spirit and thereby their inner transformation. Sahaja (=Spontaneous) Yoga (=Union with the Self) was born. back to top Spreading of Sahaja Yoga around the world Shri Mataji made this experiment of awakening the spiritual power of every human being (which the Hindus name the Kundalini, the Muslims as the Ruh and in the bible it is described as the Holy Ghost) and was amazed at the results. She tried it first on people near to her and noticed they were transformed physically, mentally and spiritually. Slowly she found out that only this process had the potential solution for all human problems and therefore she decided to spread it on an en-masse level. She invested her own time and money to talk to people and give them the key to their own spiritual power. Those few people who started feeling this spiritual power, which flowed like a cool breeze over their whole body, especially over the palms of their hands and on top of their head (around the fontanel bone area) were quite astonished that it worked. Though they argued and disputed over it they could not disbelieve their own experience. Under the instructions of Shri Mataji they tried giving this power to others, which really gave them the faith that this was the true spiritual experience that was being prophesized in every religion. Shri Mataji Nirmala DeviAmazingly, without any financial support from any person, Shri Mataji neither charges for Her lectures nor for Her ability to give Self Realisation, nor does one have to become a member of this organisation. She insists that you cannot pay for your enlightenment and to-date she continues to denounce the false, self-proclaimed "gurus" who are more interested in the seekers' purse than their spiritual ascent (see our Seeker's Guide). Since 1970, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi has kept a busy schedule, travelling around the world to teach the techniques of Sahaja Yoga meditation. She has demonstrated her capacity to trigger the awakening of the spiritual power in human beings (Kundalini) at an "en masse" level. Large numbers of people, without distinction of race, religion, age or social status have acknowledged the value of her teachings by establishing Sahaja Yoga centers in over 75 nations. These people who live a normal family life, tap to their inner spiritual power through daily Sahaja Yoga meditation and have achieved a complete balance of their lives on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. They understand the integration of all religions and spiritual paths not at a mental level, but through their direct, tangible experience on the central nervous system. Thousands of years ago, the Blossom Time was prophesized to come when, in these modern times of crisis, thousands of seekers of Truth are going to experience this connection with their Spirit. back to top International achievements and recognition An official guest in the former Soviet Union, she enabled over 100,000 people to experience their Self-Realization. She regularly speaks to audiences of 10,000 to 20,000 in the former Eastern bloc nations and has filled year after year the Royal Albert Hall in London for her conference on Sahaja Yoga. Shri Mataji has delivered thousands of lectures, given many television and radio interviews, and been the subject of hundreds of newspaper articles around the world. An articulate speaker, Shri Mataji is the founder and sole director of Sahaja Yoga or "Vishwa Nirmala Dharma", which is an established non-profit organization in many countries worldwide. Shri Mataji has been recognized worldwide by several prestigious institutions for her selfless work and for the powerful results of her spiritual teachings. In 1994, the Mayor of Brazil's capital welcomed Shri Mataji at the airport, presenting her with the key to the city, and sponsored all of her programs. In 1995, the Indian Government granted Shri Mataji a one hour primetime television series, broadcast nationally. During the same year, Shri Mataji was an official guest of the Chinese government and was invitied to speak at the International Women's Conference in Beijing. Also in 1995, she was awarded by the Romanian Ecological University an Honorary Doctorate in Cognitive and Parapsychological Sciences. She has been recognized and greeted by the mayors of several cities in North America (Yonkers, NY, 1994 & 1996, Los Angeles, 1993 and 1994, British Columbia, 1994, Cincinnati 1992, Philadelphia 1993, Berkeley, 1997). She was given a Proclamation by the US Congress in 1997 which was submitted to the Congressional Records. Shri Mataji was declared "Personality of the Year" in 1986 by the Italian Government. For all these, and more, see our awards and recognitions section. back to top NGOs created by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi In her tremendous compassion and concern to alleviate human sufferings, Shri Mataji has been able to create a number of NGOs (Non Governmental Organisations) to solve the most immediate problems of the world in the last 25 years. To mention a few: 1. An international hospital in Mumbai to help patients all over the world to get a chance to cure themselves through Sahaja Yoga methods. This hospital has been producing quite successful results in curing a number of incurable diseases like cancer, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis etc. 2. An international cancer research centre in Mumbai in order to study the effects of Sahaja Yoga methods on curing various illnesses, including psychosomatic diseases. 3. An international music school in Nagpur to promote classical music. 4. A charity house for the poor people in Delhi, to provide shelter to destitute and homeless people. Also to help them through the process of Sahaja Yoga to become better individuals. back to top Conclusion Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi has dedicated her life to triggering the spiritual ascent of mankind through Self Realization, reclaiming the role of women in the spiritual evolution, and guiding humanity to correct today's moral dilemmas. It seems that the light of Gandhi's vision is being brought to fulfilment by this great lady who is revered as the compassionate Divine Mother by her followers, as the "Messenger of peace" by Ayatollah Rouhani, an Avatar of the modern era by Claes Nobel, grandnewphew of Albert Nobel (the creator of the Nobel foundation) and Chairman of United Earth. back to topBirth and Childhood Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi was born on March 21, 1923 to a Christian family in Chindawara, India.

MEET OUR MOTHERLY LADY !!! SHRI MATAJI NIRMALA DEVI .

INVITATION TO ALL SEEKERS

I bow down to the pure divine energy residing inside each and everyone of you !

I want to put a question before you.  Which god is supreme ?  Pl. tell frankly .  Is he Allah, Jesus, Buddha, Fatima, Durga, Ram, Krishna.......................... ?  In what way He/She is superior to others ?  Because we have read many mythological stories in which even Lord Shiva and Vishnu fought with each other .  In other case Goddess Sati did not obey her husband Lord Shiva's advise .  It is also told that Mohammed married many ladies and so on ...........

The fundamental point what we have to learn is that the formless divine power which is like water takes forms like an ice-bar and comedown to the earth to teach us the way of living.  They had to act on different occasions to teach different messages, because they are above all these feelings.

The important messages are we have to overcome our egos and love all irrespective of their position, nationality, etc.

The rituals are the stepping stones and when we understand the 'essence' of the messages we can smoothly discard the rituals, to enjoy the divine bliss.

All religions are in one way or the other say that the divine power is residing with each and every individual, whether he is black or white, old or young , vegetarian or non-vegetarian, male or female.  If we understand this and respect ourselves we will be easily connected with the Power that has created us.  Though it is very  easy to practice it, it is very difficult to achieve it. The main culprit is our 'ego'  Hence, certain rituals/ formalities  are prescribed to overcome our shortcomings.

If you , with an open heart, want to test it you can log-in at Sahajayoga.org and know what it is.  You can at any time leave it if not convinced , because you can not buy truth .

My doors are always open to whatever type of doubt you have .

OK Friends !  Best of luck !
