Self Realisation - First Sprouting

2026-11-07T04:00:00.000-08:00

Thirty-three years ago today, Shri Mataji spoke in Budapest about Enlightenment.

But Her message did not end with receiving Self-Realization.

It began there.

She explained that the mechanism for our transformation is already built within us. Self-Realization is the first sprouting, but that sprouting must be respected and allowed to grow.

“But respect your realization.”

And growth, Shri Mataji explained, is not an isolated journey.

“Because it’s a collective happening.”

Through this transformation we become part and parcel of the whole:

“Like a drop becomes the ocean.”

Yet spiritual growth cannot be forced.

“You have to have some patience with yourself.”

Before the experience of Self-Realization, Shri Mataji gave three essential conditions: full self-confidence and a pure desire to become the Spirit, freedom from guilt, and forgiveness.

Then came a remarkable instruction for what we may call Vertical Growth:

“You have to promise in your heart that you will grow in Sahaja Yoga and you will save others also.”

And immediately afterwards:

“One enlightened light can enlighten many.”

This is a beautiful image of the Sahaja journey.

Receive the light.

Respect your Realization.

Nourish it.

Grow in the collective.

Have patience with yourself.

Become the drop that discovers the ocean.

And allow the light awakened within you to enlighten others.

The reward, Shri Mataji says, is:

“tremendous joy.”

TODAY’S CONTEMPLATION

Am I merely preserving the light I received,
or has my light begun to enlighten another?

“One enlightened light can enlighten many.”

Our External Shell is a BLISS

2026-11-06T16:00:00.000-08:00

Our External 'Shell' is a Bliss"

"I am not conscious about, how I  Look,

I am not worried about my Life, how I Took,

I am not bothered about This Journey, how much I Brook,

I am never in tension about people around, how much they are Crook, 

I am not eager to Enhance my  knowledge, by reading any Book,

I hardly have any thing into my mind, several stories to Cook,

I am not  worried about my bulge & bump,

I am not in Competition for achieving Success by any undue Jump,

I am not in Rat-Race how much Wealth should I Dump,

I am not crazy to celebrate any kind of Success with Triumph,

I am not so curious about, what will be my Fate,

I am least bothered to know about, my Last Depature Date,

I am quite reluctant about to refine any Trait,

I never make any target to do all my deeds, so Great,

Though, I am not so much concern about how much time I should Meditate,

But I always enjoy "His" presence all the time into my Heart to Sanitate,

I am not thinking about  how much will I Gain,

I am not concern about what will I Attain,

But I am quite serious about this 'Best Creation' to Maintain,

Which is the only Medium for Spiritual Growth to Ascertain,

And I am quite sure about  The Grace of "Shree Maa", that, my Life will not go In Vain.

This Body is not less than a Temple,

It is the Most Beautiful Creation and a Unique Sample,

I am not bothered about what people will say,

I am very Joyous to live my own  life, only in this Most Easy Way."--Kripa

Note:-Kindly don't feel offended, this 'I' is representing just a Gross Being only not the so called Ego Orinted One.

"Our 'Gross Being' too is the Greatest Blessing"

COOL BREEZE

2026-11-04T14:30:00.000-08:00

Now one thing you must always remember is that a cool breeze is coming in our hands – this is undeniable, there is no doubt about it. And it has been described by Adi Shankaracharya and others. If you have to read the Bible, then I have told you that it is in John’s revelations, that cool breeze comes out of the Holy Ghost, all that is described in the Bible. And in all our books, Chaitanya Laharis (cool breeze) have been written about, it’s not a new thing. Don’t forget this. It is a great truth. It is a subtle thing, and you should understand how wrong it will be to lose it. You must not lose it.

Now when I leave, many people will experience that the Kundalini will go to places where you have weaknesses. For example, if you have liver trouble, then the Kundalini will go down into the liver, no problem in that. The people at the center (Sahaja Yogis) are quite smart, you should ask them about what is happening and what should you do. They will tell you how to take vibrations and nourish yourself.

You don’t have to renounce your house, no need to renounce anything, but the need is to get into the essence of everything. You do not have to renounce any religion also. Whatever religion you belong to, stay with that religion. Although after realization you go beyond religion, you do not have any religion left. https://pradipg-sahajayoga.blogspot.com/2026/03/benefits-of-awakening-of-kundalini.html

When you believe in Mohammad Sahab also, also in Nanak Sahab, and in Hazrat Ali also, in Fatimabai also, and in Sitaji also, also in Jesus Christ, and also in Ganeshji, then how can you sit in these small compartments of religions? Then you become “dharmateet” (beyond religions/dharmas), and beyond religions, you also become “gunateet” (beyond gunas or properties), gunas meaning three — Tamo guna (Left side), Rajo guna (Right), and Satwa guna. 

Due to Tamo guna, a person keeps thinking about past things, and sleeps too much. Due to Rajo guna, you become overactive, overactivity. The problems of Rajo guna are more in the west, but now they have started here also. The problem with Satwa guna is that one becomes too interested in dharma and becomes bit scared of Tamo guna and Rajo guna. But because of balancing, Satwa guna is okay. But you go beyond these three, you don’t worry about anything

Accurate handling of life

Everyone at some point of time in their life tends to encounter hurtful events. A lot of us tend to blame the people around, circumstances, unavailability, and non-action by our loved ones.  

According to my awareness, the issue starts there and then. The reason for the entire suffering is allocated to one of the reason according to the limited understanding. And we tend to sulk, build up resentment and carry things forward unknowingly. 

Let's do a bit of dissection here : 

Events are not in our hands. Of course there are people and circumstances which contribute to it. They definetely have the part to play into it. But that's their actions, their choices which we don't have control over.

But the poor understanding and handling of it make things worse and carrying it forward means carrying the wounds forward without treatment which will show up in the present in one way or the other. 

What are unprocessed/unhealed wounds ? Wounds are basically carrying forward the poor understanding, poor handling and self generated harmful protective coping mechanism forward in the life. 

These things tend to enhance, get complicated with passing age. In order to be 'normal' functioning human, these things need to addressed and handled with love and truth. 

And the tricky part is that only person who can get these things done is 'you'. 

When we get connected to divine energy (Maa Nirakara) and our focus tend to go towards our heart where our beloved mother/bhagwanji/guru resides. 

Every human have got access to them, its just the voices in our heads tend to make it hard for us to hear our inner voice. 

For intellectuals : The more supply we get of divine energy, it tends to quiet down those useless voices of our head. And when we start to listen to our original voice , we automatically tend to get the little truth and love from within acc to our capacity. 

And that's when we start to see stuff which we never paid attention to and start to reset our functioning as a human. Automatically becoming comforter our own. 

For devotees : The more we stay with our beloved mother, she tends to eat away all the monsterous thoughts which keep us from our own voice. 

"She" starts to protect us, makes us taste what love is. It's not something that needs to be earned but she gives it freely without having to say anything. 

We humans don't even know what we require or whats beneficial for us, we are given eyes slowly then she makes us recognize the truth in our own lifes. It's just like in childhood when parents teach us to recognize things and articulate words to it. 

Exactly same thing, but she doesnt do our work. Instead its just showing and then the kid gets rid of it. When the kid gets rid of it, he/she feels so relaxed , happy, joyful which acts like a motivation to do more. 

As the kid grows, she/he starts to understand the dynamic between parents within and the kid. The more understanding is developed, the more relaxed they start to get. 

All these stupidity that goes around like inferiority, show offs, ignorance, domination, control, insecurity starts to go out. All of this is the result of poor handling, poor understanding of how they should operate as a human. Basically lack of presence of their mother in their life. 

As they tend to get the presence of their mother in their life. Knowledge, love, comfort,truth,joy, accurate handling of themselves/life/relationships start acquiring place. 

The difference between unconnected and connected ones is that connected ones have the opportunity to have 'love' in their life that means they can have Shri Mata Ji in their life. 

If someone wants to witness the power of love. The way is to embark on inner journey within along with divine connection. There s no other way. The answer lies in experiencing it. 

Jai Shri Mata Ji

Proof of the Reality of Sahaja Yoga

Ever since I started observing Indian society, I have heard spirituality and religious talk all around. Which is a beautiful thing, that good things are respected. So many people know so many profound things, it felt good and new.

People have made a place for some God or another at their shops or put up a picture of their guru. Satsangs, religious programs at satsangs where either senior people are seen or women in the larger majority.

Then when I observed their behavior, those good talks or giving advice to others seemed limited to showing their maturity or just saying those things.

Looking at the environment, I understood that almost everyone believes in someone or another and asks those aforementioned Gods to make their lives better.

Then the puzzle was solved as to why the practice of programs and asking also continues in the Sahaj organization. Asking God for things is a habit that has come from society, which people do not give up even after coming to Sahaj. They bring Sahaj onto the same lines as the way countless people are seen doing.

Well, these were the behaviors of non-seekers. Now, a question will arise within a true seeker as to how to know the difference between the path of Sahaj and other spiritual paths.

The initial differences are known to all of us, such as

Sahaja Yoga being free of charge

Self-realization

Collective consciousness through which we can feel our own and others' subtle instruments.

These three things show a difference, but that is enough for the beginning. What next ? What changes are there in those who have been practicing and at what level.

The major difference we saw or, you could say, the proof is :

It is being one's own guru or, you could say, being able to receive direct guidance from one's own God who is situated in the heart. Entering the zone of bliss.

You will see many devotees who call external incarnations their family, but by walking this path, you yourself are made your own family.

Because our Deity is in our heart and we are made to meet Him. And the result of meeting Him is : love which makes you your own God / guru. The reality of any spiritual journey can be known from this very fact.

Not following under anyone but walking under the guidance of your own heart. I have not seen this point among people following any other religion or spiritual path.

There is no cost to saying good things, but whatever change or strength there is in someone's personality cannot be copied. It speaks of the truth.

If something is not in actions then it does not exist at all. Even if the proof of our Sahaj is not reflected in our personality then it does not exist.

Everyone in spirituality seems to talk about love. The reality comes to the fore when there is no love at all in the practitioner.

Those seekers who have found the path of Sahaj, if communication has not been established with the God situated within themselves or efforts have not even been made in that direction then we cannot become proof of the reality of Sahaja Yoga.

The proof of the reality of Sahaja Yoga is the seekers who practice it. If they have not connected within themselves, then even after coming so close to this path they could neither live it fully nor know it. Then for such people there will be no difference between other spiritual paths and Sahaj, nor will they be able to know it.

Sahaja Yoga is such a path that is based on Mother Nirakara. Mother Nirakara is love itself. It is because of Mother Nirakara that we can connect with Shri Mata Ji situated in our heart without any middleperson ; independently .

And this does not bring any fanaticism either, if the Deity of a human being is some other God then by gaining access to Mother Nirakara they can access Him from their heart.

We became connected with Sahaja Yoga and for us this path was given by Shri Maa, so our God is Shri Maa whom we came to know only through Mother Nirakara, so likewise our task was to give those who were interested access to Mother Nirakara, the rest, how much a seeker is interested in knowing and understanding Her, that part belongs to that seeker.

If they are a seeker, they will discover the reality themselves and reach the accurate facts with their own logic and reasoning. When this gets established then their basis transforms into experience / experiment with the divine energy. Then it is a level beyond reasoning which is based on experiences of the divine energy / heart.

Jai Shri Mata Ji

The world is your problem. 

Why were you born at this time, why did you get your Realization, and why are you a Sahaja yogi? 

Just for name's sake? 

In every field, you must take on a responsibility to see what you can do.

Supposing you are an architect, all right, have designs made. Create designs, just try. I’ll help you. 

Are you a musician? Then take up ways and methods of spreading good music. 

If you are a writer then write something interesting, not boring, something interesting, something which will elevate people. 

If you are a government servant, try to demonstrate that you are acting on behalf of a government of a much higher level. And such a person will be respected, very much respected. 

Everybody’s personality will grow, not that you run away from somewhere because most people say that: "Mother, we get caught up, this, that, you know." It depends on. Now I told you that I have to sometimes shake hands with six hundred people who are sometimes absolutely drunk. So it’s all right; that’s my job.

So we are not going to run away. We are covered with the protection of spirituality. If you can keep to the central path of Sushumna nobody can touch you. So, out of the Lakshmi principle, I hope you get all the tattwas, all the principles, satisfied in you, fully, and also the Mahalakshmi principle flows through your being. 

You have to be very satisfied and comfortable people. Not to find faults. If you are finding faults, then know that you are not Sahaja Yogis.

If you are trying to control others, then know that you are not Sahaja Yogis. Even the leaders, I would say, should never try to control. They must know how the principle is working in silence; see for themselves how it is working. It’s a trick you must learn.

The Thirteenth Dimension of Human Consciousness

2026-10-31T04:30:00.000-07:00

"The Thirteenth Dimension of Human Consciousness" When the sadhana of a seeker / sadhaka begins to be in the deepest states, his "consciousness" attains complete oneness with the "Mother Adi Shakti."
As a result of which he automatically gets the ability to transform his' atomic form 'and' gross existence 'into' divine energy 'and to flow into the whole creation as one form with the' formless energy 'of the' mother etc. 'power.
That is, she becomes a part of the 'power "of' their" self and participates in helping 'them "to operate this creation of' God."
This event takes place just as the fragrance of a flower in full bloom, flowing from place to place in unison with the 'refreshing breeze', continues to fragrance the whole atmosphere.
That is, when the seeker / seeker is completely liberated from the bondage of his external existence.
Then his consciousness changes into 'love, "' compassion," 'affection "and' self-knowledge" emanating from his heart and his conscience merges with the 'divine energy "of' Parameswari" and starts flowing in the entire material world.
The seeker / sadhakas of such a state can also have another simple recollection of the 'open heart chakra' if one lives on the Sahasrara.
So immediately his' energy consciousness' will touch his Sahastrara, in whose welcome his Sahastrara will be pleased to create a pleasant pull in the form of increasing vibration and energy.
At the same time, the indescribable love of those seekers / sadhakas will also be felt in their own heart, due to which their heart will be filled with love and affection.
Along with this feeling of love, they will also experience a wet fragrance which will fill their mind with happiness.
Just like if someone very dear to us comes to the door of our house, our heart is filled with love and joy and we welcome him with all our heart.
Sometimes the smell of the gross body of such 'extraordinary' seekers / sadhakas who wander in the 'third dimension' with memory can also be felt.
Because the 'atoms' of their entire outer and inner existence have merged into each other by becoming matter, due to which their grossness and subtlety have taken the form of an 'energy'.
In fact, the gods and goddesses of all the chakras and nadis of the seekers / sadhakas of that higher level of consciousness are fully aware and happy.
As a result of which all their chakras keep on moving uninterruptedly and keep on blooming various kinds of floral perfumes which are also included in the 'energy form' of those 'higher consciousnesses'.
The Sahaji who remembers them often experiences them as heart-pleasing and fragrant.
And if a simple and ordinary person remembers such high-quality human beings, then their consciousness fills their heart with enthusiasm.
That is, such 'energetic consciousnesses' enter their minds and fill them with a pleasant spirit, which makes them happy even if they are sad and disappointed for some reason.
Such 'energy-forms-consciousnesses' enter the conscience of any good-hearted ordinary / awakened human being and continue to inspire him for any good work in the form of inspiration generated automatically through his heart.
Not only this, such 'angelic' consciousnesses, trapped in the clutches of ignorance and inferiority complex, also prevent all kinds of anti-God, anti-nature and anti-human acts by any human being by changing his negative feelings by entering his inner mind.
These consciousnesses when they see that the heart of an ordinary human being / seeker / seeker / seeker has become covered with malice.
So by entering into their agnya, they expose all their negative emotions and the ill-effects of the previous vices hidden in them, i.e., lust, anger, greed, infatuation, greed, cunning, hatred, envy, arrogance, malice, malice, disharmony, deceit, envy, overestimation, discrimination, high-handedness, caste discrimination, etc., and the present-day attractions, i.e., position, money, prestige, fame, praise, recognition, etc., to themselves and others.
So that he may repent of these insults in his own / everyone's eyes and work hard to improve himself and save himself from the agony of terrible sufferings.
When such higher consciousnesses give up their gross body, their powers increase even more.
And she is constantly moving in "His" creation with "Parameswari" energy and constantly helping the destitute beings, the naive human beings and the seekers / sadhakas on the path of awakening.
In a way, they themselves become part and parcel of the 'divine' power and nourish and take care of every kind of life of this creation.
There is also a very negative aspect of the consciousnesses that move in the third dimension, which are present in our society today in the form of many leaders, gurus, tantriks, magicians, aghoris and leftists.
Since these people are actually either reincarnated demons or caught in the clutches of intense demonic tendencies, many types of 'demonic forces' operate within them.
Due to which those living under the influence of the ajna chakra take control of the consciousness of ordinary people / seekers / sadhakas and continue to fulfill all their desires from them.
Even Anu is experienced in the "Sri feet" of "Sri Mata Ji" and one feels the intense energy in the millennium of higher consciousnesses and with the suffocation in their hearts the agony of those lower consciousnesses begins to manifest itself in the form of thoughts.
They also experience intense pain / stinging in the left / right agnya of their microscope and intense warmth in the ears, palms, middle heart, soles of the feet.
In such a situation, that good consciousness should unite the energy of its middle heart and Sahasrara, take its mind and consciousness in its middle agnya and flow energy from its middle heart for some time.
And one should also sincerely pray to 'Shri Mata Ji "to get rid of that deplorable state of that lower consciousness so that' Shri Mata" can give that consciousness a proper place and free it from its system and that vagina.
By the way, such 'lower consciousnesses' automatically move towards liberation as soon as they come in contact with the 'higher' consciousness located in the 'third dimension'.
At first, the lower consciousnesses residing in such 'third dimension' struggle with those 'higher consciousnesses'.
As a result of which in the gross body of the higher consciousnesses, according to the different kinds of desires and insatiable desires of these lower consciousnesses, there is intense pain in the organs of the chakras related to those areas for some time.
But due to the permanent stability and situational awareness of the seeker / seeker developed up to this level, he also recovers after some time.
With such high levels of consciousness, this cycle continues unabated. Their effect is especially more on the throat, navel, left / right / middle heart, upper back, spinal cord.
Because most of these lower consciousnesses are in a very bad condition at the root, the anus, the navel, the heart, which have an effect only on the gross body of the higher consciousnesses.
Whereas in the subtle instrument and consciousness of these higher consciousnesses situated in the 'third dimension', the consciousnesses stuck in this inferiority have no effect at all because their consciousness has become one with the 'mother' etc. power.
In a way, the higher levels of consciousness that move in this dimension become the medium of permanent peace and comfort of such negative consciousnesses.
The mind contained in the consciousness of the seekers living in this' third dimension 'works faster than a' laser beam 'to destroy all pervasive / personal negativity, the effect of which is often reflected in a short time.
But such elevated consciousnesses can never be used by any other seeker / sadhaka / ordinary / ordinary person for his own benefit because they are governed only by 'Sri Maa "or by his own self.
As long as there is no experience in the heart of his self, his consciousness is not active, no matter how much one says to him. Because it is complete in itself.
And even if someone does not say anything, if his consciousness feels some negative consciousness, then his powers automatically come into play.
Moreover, even when a true seeker of truth needs some inner help, the powers of his consciousness automatically awaken and begin to help him whether he says anything to him outwardly or inwardly.
It takes no effort for the consciousnesses living in this unique 'third dimension' to help and connect with all the real truth seekers / consciousnesses existing on this earth / in the universe.
For example, any large magnet does not need to move from one place to another to connect any other magnet and iron particles to itself, because its magnetic field does this work.
Let us take another example of the sun whose light and rays do all its work automatically. "- Kripa... Jai Shree Mata Ji.

Become Beautiful Inside

2026-10-30T15:30:00.000-07:00

So to preserve your health within yourself, first you should know what you are, what problems you have, why these problems are there. And then also you should know why there are problems outsidewithin . This is very simple to understand if you become divine. This divine light can give you all the understanding of everything.

I don’t know, I’ve spoken about it so many times but never relating to beauty as such. But beauty is of course, is within, you know? It’s all within, it’s not without. But that I cannot convince you like this unless until you get your Realization. There’s some people who may be very beautiful outside but inside would be like snakes. This can be.

So best thing is to have the beauty within. That attracts the people. See Me, I have so many disciples, now are so many all over the world. But now what do I do to them? Nothing. I just connect them to the Divine as through this. And there are 1000 petals inside your brain, which gets enlightened and you become one with the Divine, and the divine power starts flowing through you. You become divine.

Then you know what to wear, how to behave, everything automatic. It is spontaneous. I don’t have to tell you, “Do this” or “Do that”, nothing. It just works out. You are your own master. I don’t have to tell you anything. You can find out what is good for you, what is bad for you. This is not only for longevity I am saying, but I am saying for the global peace. You want to have it spread to people through your endeavors, through your different ideas and creativity, to all the people of the world.

So the problems that are created by human beings – mainly they are the problems. And they can be solved. If a human being becomes so beautiful inside, then outside also he looks beautiful, and also he can create a very beautiful loving world

How to face crisis,sorrow, hardships in life

2026-10-29T07:00:00.000-07:00

According to the priceless thoughts of Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Ji, the founder of Sahaja Yoga, we should face the hardships, sorrows, and crises that come into life not by being afraid at the worldly level, but by awakening the spiritual power (Spirit) within us. Shri Mataji says that when a person recognizes their true form, that is, the 'Spirit', external circumstances cannot disturb them

1.The main priceless thoughts of Shri Mataji for facing the hardships of life are as follows:1. Remaining in the Witness State (Witness State)According to Shri Mataji, whenever a problem or hardship arises in life, instead of becoming completely involved in it and feeling sad, learn to observe it like a witness (Witness). When you enter the state of Thoughtless Awareness (Thoughtless Awareness), you begin to watch this Drama of life (Drama of life) without any reaction, which calms the mind and provides the right solution .

2. Thoughtless Awareness (Thoughtless Awareness)Avoid excessive thinking (Overthinking): A person increases their suffering by repeatedly thinking about worries about the future or sorrows of the past.Live in the present: When you become thoughtless through meditation (Meditation), the flow of divine power within you makes you mentally and physically stronger.

3.Forgiving everyone (Forgiveness)Shri Mataji always says in her discourses, "Forgive everyone". When we hold anger or resentment toward others or circumstances, we harm our own energy. Forgiving makes our heart feel lighter and frees us from the burden of suffering.

4.Balancing your Kundalini power and chakrasMost of the mental and physical problems in a person's life are caused by imbalances in the chakras and nadis present within them.Imbalance of the left channel (Left Channel): Those who remain immersed in the sorrows of the past become victims of despair and depression (Depression).

5.Purity of love and heartThe greatest weapon for facing suffering is love. Shri Mataji says that you should not seek external circumstances or wealth, but rather acquire a loving heart (Loving heart) 。 Divine love has so much power that it can soothe even the greatest pain.

The Power and Purity of GRIHALAXMI

2026-10-28T16:30:00.000-07:00

The Power and Purity of Grihalakshmi" is one of the most important teachings of the revered Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in Sahaja Yoga. According to Shri Mataji, a woman's role in a home is not just that of a housewife, but as the very soul and divine power of the home (Grihalakshmi). The core principle of this divine concept, based on the principles of effortless yoga, is as follows:

1. The female form: Power and purity • Symbol of Divine Power: Shre Mataji believes that the female form is inherently a symbol of power. When a woman awakens her Kundalini energy through natural practices and connects with the ultimate consciousness, she becomes internally incredibly powerful. • Home Harmony: The essence of "Lakshmi" lies in purity, contentment, and generosity. Her presence and selfless intentions create a peaceful and spiritual atmosphere within the home.

2. Men's Responsibilities: Respectful and Stable Relationships • Viewing the wife as a revered figure: Sri Mataji clearly states that men should respect their wives and view them as the foundation of the home. The individual must be completely virtuous, faithful, and pure. If a man mistreats or insults his wife, there can be no peace or happiness in his home.

3. Guidance for "Home लक्ष्मी" • Sacrifice and Service: A woman should embody love, compassion, and service, rather than simply being stubborn or a source of conflict within the home. • The "Navi Chakra" or "Hara Chakra": According to the principles of natural yoga, the location of Shri Ghalshmi is within the Hara Chakra, which is located in the navel region of the body. Maintaining the purity of this chakra is essential for prosperity, contentment, and the blessings of Lakshmi.

The core mantra of the Sahasrara chakra. The mantra is recited while meditating on the form of Sri Mataji Nirmala Devi as the supreme power: Om, you are the very embodiment of Sri Mahalakshmi, Mahasaraswati, Mahakali, the triguna-aspect, Kundalini, the very essence of Sri Adi Shakti, Mother Goddess, Sri Nirmala Devi – I bow to you. This idea teaches us that the purity and respect for the home are the true foundation of societal and family progress.

Lord Shiva praising Bhagavati Durga

2026-10-28T06:00:00.000-07:00

Lord Mahadeva said- O Mahadevi Durga, destroyer of misfortune! I have fallen into the clutches of the enemy; therefore, O compassionate One! Protect me, your devoted and loving devotee, protect me.

O greatly blessed Jagadambika! Vishnumaya, Narayani, Sanatani, Brahmasvarupa, Parama and Nityanandasvarupini- these are indeed your names. You are the mother of Brahma and the other gods.

You alone are manifest in your qualified form and formless in your unqualified form. O Sanatani! You yourself, becoming subject to Maya, become Purusha and through Maya become Prakriti yourself, and you uphold that Supreme Brahman who is beyond this Purusha and Prakriti. You are Savitri, the supreme transcendental Mother of the Vedas.

In Vaikuntha, you are Mahalakshmi, the embodiment of all wealth, in the Ocean of Milk, you are Martyalakshmi, the beloved of Narayana reclining upon Shesha, in heaven, you are Svargalakshmi and on earth, you are Rajalakshmi. In Patala, you are Nagadailakshmi, in homes, you are the household deity, the embodiment of all crops and the one who ordains all prosperity.

You alone are Saraswati, the goddess presiding over the passion of Brahma, and you alone are also the presiding goddess of the life-breath of the Supreme Soul, Shri Krishna. You are Radha herself, the presiding goddess of Goloka, who shines upon Shri Krishna's chest in Goloka, Vrindavanavinodini, the beauty of the Rasa-mandala taking place in Vrindavan, and the presiding goddess of Mount Shatashringa, famous by the name Chitravali.

In one Kalpa you become the daughter of Daksha and in another Kalpa you become the daughter of the Himalayas. You are the mother of the gods, Aditi, and the Earth, the support of all. You alone are Ganga, Tulasi, Svaha, Svadha and Sati.

All the celestial women have arisen from a fractional portion of a fractional part of you. O Devi! Woman, man and neuter are all your forms. You are the form of trees among trees and your creation has taken place in the form of sprouts. You are the burning power in fire, coolness in water, ever the form of radiance and brilliance in the sun, the form of fragrance in the earth, the form of sound in the sky, ever the form of beauty in the moon and groups of lotuses, the form of creation in creation, the one who properly carries out the work of preservation, Mahamari at the time of dissolution and present in water in the form of water.

You alone are hunger, you alone are compassion, you alone are sleep, you alone are thirst, you alone are the embodiment of intellect, you alone are contentment, you alone are nourishment, you alone are faith and you yourself are forgiveness. You yourself are peace, delusion and radiance, and you alone are fame as well. You are modesty and Maya, the embodiment of enjoyment and liberation. You are the embodiment of all powers and the bestower of all wealth.

Even in the Veda you are indescribable, therefore no one truly knows you. O Goddess of the gods! Neither Shesha, with his thousand mouths, is capable of praising you, nor do the Vedas have the power to describe you, nor can Saraswati herself extol you; then how can any learned person do so?

O Maheshwari! She whose praise even Brahma and the eternal Lord Vishnu cannot offer, how can I, terrified by the battle, praise her with my five mouths? Therefore, O Mahamaya! Be gracious to me and destroy my enemy.

This hymn was recited by Lord Shiva to please Bhagavati Durga. By praising her through this hymn quoted from the Shri Krishna Janma Khanda of the Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Shambhu slew Tripurasura. This king of hymns destroys all ignorance and fulfills desire

DIVINE SECRET HIDDEN IN NIDHIVAN

2026-10-26T04:30:00.000-07:00

A divine secret hidden in Nidhivan -that not everyone knows

Vrindavan. The moment you hear the name, peacock feathers, the banks of the Yamuna, kadamba trees and the sound of the flute begin to echo in the mind. But Vrindavan also has a forest where even silence speaks during the day, where the trees are intertwined with one another, where tulsi plants stand in pairs, and where even sunlight does not properly reach the ground. The name of that forest is - Nidhivan.

People say that Nidhivan is not merely a forest, it is the sleeping chamber of Shri Radha and Shri Krishna. Even today, Rasleela takes place here every night. And whoever tries to witness this mystery either becomes blind, or mute, or insane, or dies. This is the story of that divine mystery.

1. What is Nidhivan? - The beginning of history

Nidhivan is a small forest spread across approximately two acres, but its glory is infinite. It is said that when Lord Shri Krishna performed Rasleela in Vrindavan during the Dwapar Yuga, He chose this very place. All the trees here are gopis. Yes, you heard that right. All the trees in Nidhivan have branches bent downward and intertwined with one another. During the day they look like trees, but at night those same trees take the form of gopis and perform rasa with Shri Krishna.

In the middle of Nidhivan there is a small temple called Rang Mahal. Every night, arrangements are made for Shri Radha and Shri Krishna to sleep in Rang Mahal. A sandalwood platform, a silk sheet, pillows, a water pot, betel leaves, a datun and adornment items are placed there by the priest every evening before he leaves. And in the morning when the temple doors are opened, marks are found on the platform as if someone had slept there during the night, the water pot is found empty, the betel leaves are found chewed, and the datun is found used. Even today, 5000 years later.

Science does not accept this, but the people of Vrindavan see it every day.

2. The divine mystery that astonished everyone - The story of Lalita Sakhi

To understand this mystery, we will have to go back 100 years.

There lived a blind old woman in Vrindavan - her name was Lalita. People called her Lalita Sakhi. She was not blind from birth. It is said that she was the greatest devotee of Nidhivan. Every evening she would circumambulate Nidhivan and say, "Just once, only once, I want to see Rasleela with my own eyes."

One day she became determined. She said to the priest of Nidhivan, "Tonight I will hide in Nidhivan and watch the rasa."

The priest strongly forbade her, "Do not do this, whoever has stayed here at night has not remained safe."

But Lalita did not listen. That night she secretly hid behind a huge tulsi bush in Nidhivan. After 8 p.m., Nidhivan is closed, everyone is made to leave, even animals and birds leave the forest.

Around midnight, what Lalita saw made her soul tremble.

She saw all the trees of Nidhivan slowly turning into gopis. One beautiful gopi was emerging from each tree. The tulsi plants that stand in pairs were becoming the companions of Radha and Krishna. And a divine light emerged from the Rang Mahal in the middle. In that light, Shri Krishna appeared with His flute, with Shri Radha Rani beside Him.

Then the Rasleela began. Thousands of gopis, Krishna in the middle, and the sound of the flute all around. Even the water of Yamuna Ji stopped, and the wind also became still. Lalita was watching everything, tears flowing from her eyes.

But then Radha Rani's gaze fell upon the tulsi bush where Lalita was hiding. Radha Rani gestured. Two gopis came and caught Lalita and took her before Radha Rani.

Radha Rani smiled and said, "You have seen our divine secret, now you will have to pay the price for it."

Lalita became frightened, she said, "Forgive me, Radhe."

Radha Rani said, "You have seen the rasa, but now you will not be able to tell anyone about it, because the world will not be able to bear this mystery."

And the very next moment, the light in Lalita's eyes disappeared. She became blind. In the morning when the priests found her unconscious in Nidhivan, she had already become blind. But there was a wondrous radiance on her face.

People asked, "What did you see at night?"

Lalita said, "What I saw is not meant to be spoken of, but to be felt. I saw that there are no trees in Nidhivan, they are gopis, and even today Krishna performs rasa there."

Since then people say that anyone who stays in Nidhivan at night becomes blind.

3. 5 scientifically unexplained mysteries of Nidhivan

Nidhivan has not only a story, but also such facts that science has not been able to explain to this day.

First mystery - The intertwining of the trees: The branches of the trees in Nidhivan do not grow straight upward, they are bent downward and intertwined with one another. Scientists examined their soil, examined the water, but found no reason why the trees grow this way. Devotees say that during the rasa at night they hold hands and dance, which is why they remain intertwined during the day as well.

Second mystery - Pairs of tulsi: Throughout Nidhivan, tulsi plants grow in pairs. One Krishna and one Radha. You will never find a single tulsi plant alone. And surprisingly, even after the ground beneath each pair of tulsi becomes dry, it remains lush and green.

Third mystery - The absence of animals and birds: After 7 p.m., not a single animal or bird remains in Nidhivan. Even the monkeys that leap around all over Vrindavan leave Nidhivan as evening falls. The birds also fly away. As if they know that the entry of humans and animals is now forbidden here.

Fourth mystery - The bed in Rang Mahal: This is the biggest mystery. The bed that is prepared in Rang Mahal is found disheveled in the morning. It looks as though two people slept there. The priests prepare a perfectly clean bed every evening, but in the morning there are creases on it. Betel leaves are found chewed. This has been happening every day for the past 500 years.

Fifth mystery - The water of the well: There is an ancient well in Nidhivan, Vishakha Kund. It is said that when the gopis became thirsty during the rasa, Krishna created this well with His flute. Even today the water of this well is sweet, while the water of the other wells in Vrindavan is salty. And the water of this well never dries up.

4. The real divine mystery of Nidhivan - Time coming to a standstill

Now we come to the greatest divine mystery that very few people know about.

Time stops in Nidhivan.

It is said that the Rasleela that takes place in Nidhivan does not happen according to the time on our clocks. It is equal to a single moment of Brahma. One night here is only a few minutes there. Therefore, when the priest opens the temple in the morning, it seems to him that only a few hours have passed, but the rasa has continued there throughout the night.

Once an English collector came. He did not believe these things. He said, I will install a camera in Nidhivan at night and see what happens.

He had CCTV cameras installed all around. In the evening everyone was made to leave. In the morning when the camera footage was checked, all the cameras were found to be malfunctioning. One showed only white light, another showed only fog. And the one camera that was working showed only a bright beam of light moving throughout Nidhivan after midnight.

That collector became a devotee of Krishna from that very day.

The real mystery of Nidhivan is not that rasa takes place there, the real mystery is that love is still alive there. That love which sees neither time nor era. That love which is still alive today in the pairs of tulsi, in the intertwined trees, in the creases of the closed bed.

5. What does Nidhivan teach us?

The divine mystery of Nidhivan teaches us three things.

First - To see God, you do not need eyes, you need devotion. Lalita saw with her eyes and became blind, but those who see with devotion still feel the rasa today.

Second - Nature also worships. The trees of Nidhivan, tulsi, Yamuna, all are engaged in devotion. Why do we humans forget this.

Third - Love never dies. The rasa that took place on the banks of the Yamuna 5000 years ago still takes place every night in Nidhivan. This means that true love is beyond time and place.

So whenever you go to Vrindavan, do not go to Nidhivan merely to wander around. Stand there for a moment with your eyes closed. Touch the soil there. You may hear the sound of the flute, you may feel Radha Rani's adornment in the fragrance of tulsi.

Because the divine mystery hidden in Nidhivan is not any ghost or spirit, it is love itself, it is Shri Krishna Himself who even today enjoys pastimes there with His Radha.

And yes, one final thing. Never bring even a single leaf by plucking it from Nidhivan. Because it is not a leaf, it is the finger of a gopi. And she will not curse you, but her love will make you a part of Vrindavan forever.❤️🙏

Establishing Peace within the Mind

2026-10-24T15:30:00.000-07:00

The Founder of Sahaja Yoga, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, teaches that true peace is not found in the outside world but within ourselves. According to her precious teachings and discourses, the main principles for establishing peace within the mind are as follows:

1. Kundalini Awakening and Thoughtless Awareness
Shri Mataji says that the constant chatter of our minds and the endless flow of thoughts disturb our peace. When the Kundalini energy awakens, thoughts become quiet, and te mind enters a state of thoughtless awareness (a state beyond thoughts). This is the first state from which true peace begins.

2. Living in the Present
Our attention often wanders into memories of the past or worries about the future. This disturbs our peace of mind. By keeping our attention in the present moment, we can experience greater peace and mental calmnes

3. Adopting the Witness State
When you go deeper into meditation, the restlessness of your attention comes to an end. You begin to observe the whole world and the situations in your life as a witness (Sakshi Bhava), without becoming disturbed or emotionally entangled in them.

4. Turning Inwards (Go Within)*

 Shri Mataji has a very beautiful message that even while talking to others or doing external worldly work, you should keep your attention inside. If you become thoughtless before talking to anyone, then you get established in the ocean of peace and descend into the heart of the person in front of you.

*5. Giving up Hatred and Complete Surrender*

Peace can never be attained by keeping hatred or ego in the mind. One should always keep the feeling of love and forgiveness in the heart. When a seeker, without dividing his desires, has only the pure desire to attain that Supreme Power (Parmatma), then his entire existence automatically becomes pure and balanced.

The clear message of Mataji, who has shown the path of meditation to lakhs of people, is that until you attain Self-Realization and establish your connection with that all-pervading Power, true peace of mind is not possible.

Attain a Loving Heart

2026-10-22T06:00:00.000-07:00

Neither position, nor wealth, nor external things—but to attain a loving heart.

Most Revered Mother Shri Nirmala Devi 2001, on an auspicious occasion

The true and supreme purpose of human life is to practice devotion to God. According to the scriptures, the human body is extremely rare, given not merely to enjoy material pleasures, but for the soul’s spiritual progress and to reconnect with the Supreme Being.

Devotion does not mean merely rituals, but selfless love for God, unwavering faith, and complete surrender.

1. Major types of devotion (Navadha Bhakti)Navadha Bhakti - according to Wikipedia, there are nine forms of devotion through which a person can attain God:Shravan: Listening attentively to the stories and glory of God.Kirtan: Singing the names and hymns of the Lord.Smaran: Constantly meditating on God and chanting His name.Padasevan: Serving the feet of God or serving the world created by Him.

Archan: Worshipping and adoring the Lord with incense, lamps, and offerings.Vandan: Bowing at the feet of God with complete श्रद्धा.Dasya: Considering oneself a servant of God and serving Him (like Hanuman Ji).Sakhya: Considering the Supreme Being one’s best friend (like Arjuna).Atmanivedan: Completely surrendering oneself at the feet of God (like King Bali).

2. Mental attitudes of devotionIn the path of devotion, the seeker connects with God through different mental perspectives or भाव:Shanta Bhava: Contemplating the Supreme Being with a peaceful mind.Dasya Bhava: Considering the Lord the master and oneself the servant.Sakhya Bhava: Considering God one’s closest friend.Vatsalya Bhava: Loving God as one’s child (like Mother Yashoda).Madhurya Bhava: Considering the Supreme Being one’s beloved or husband (like Mirabai).

3. Characteristics and qualities of true devotionAccording to the website of Jagat Guru Rampal Ji Maharaj, certain special divine qualities naturally begin to appear in the life of a true devotee:Freedom from greed and desires: Not running after the perishable things of the world.Humility and forgiveness: The complete disappearance of ego and forgiving others.Free from deceit and hypocrisy: Not harboring hatred or enmity toward anyone in the heart.True service: Considering service to parents and society also a part of devotion.

4. Importance of devotion in human lifeMental peace: Devotion removes all sins, sufferings, and anguish of a person and gives supreme peace.Purification of actions: By practicing devotion selflessly, a person’s actions become purified and they move toward liberation.True happiness: Material means can provide only temporary happiness, but eternal bliss is found only at the feet of God.To understand deeply how and with what perspective a person should practice devotion in real life, you can watch this video:

Whatever happens, happens for our good

2026-10-19T01:17:35.848-07:00

According to Sahaja Yoga and the discourses of Param Pujya Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, "Whatever happens, happens for our good," it is necessary to think like this and bring this spirit into life because it teaches us complete dedication to the all-pervading power of God (Paramachaitanya).
According to Shri Mataji, the main reasons for adopting this positive approach are as follows:
1.To have full faith in the power of the Spirit:
When we assume that whatever is happening is for some deep spiritual welfare, we place our worries and problems at the feet of the Divine. This dedication reduces our ego.
Freedom from Desires and Despair:
Shri Mataji has said in her discourses that when there are no worldly expectations or desires within us, disappointment never surrounds us at any point. Accepting every experience as your spiritual upliftment leads to peace of mind.
3. a state of thoughtlessness:
Why did this happen to us? "Why did that happen? "When we come out of mental confusion and gladly accept the will of God, then our mind is at peace. This calmness easily leads us to a thoughtless state during meditation.
4. Inner Purity and Spiritual Maturity:
In Sahaja Yoga, the conditions of life are a means of purifying our chakras and enhancing our spiritual 'quality'. Difficult situations also come from within to establish a man in a strong, humble and doted manner.
In a nutshell, Shri Mataji's message is that when your Kundalini Shakti is awakened and you are connected to that Supreme Power, it takes over the entire responsibility of your life. Therefore, not being distracted by any event, seeing it as God's will and your welfare is the hallmark of a true Sahajyogi 。

The First Step towards Self Realisation

2026-10-18T05:00:00.000-07:00

The first step toward self-realization — a short, beautiful story 🌸

Once, a very troubled person went to a saint. He said,

“Master, I know a lot, I am very well-educated, yet why can’t my mind find peace?”

The saint gave him a glass of water and said, “Keep filling it.”

He said, “But it is already full!”

The saint smiled and said, “Until this glass is empty, how can new water enter it?”

Then the saint said—

“Our mind is also like this glass. How can a mind filled with ego, anger, worry and old thoughts experience self-realization?”

This is where the first step of the journey toward self-realization begins—

looking within, understanding oneself and realizing that I am not merely this body, name and thoughts; within me resides a beautiful divine power. 🌺

When we sit quietly for a few moments, turn inward, observe our thoughts and try to feel ourselves through meditation, gradually the inner peace begins to awaken. 🕊️

Self-realization is not a distant destination. It is recognizing that light within ourselves, which has always been with us. ✨

Let us take a small step from today.-

—take out a few moments for yourself, sit quietly and feel the power within you.

Perhaps this small step may become the beginning of a very beautiful transformation in your life.

Kanya Puja in Navratri

2026-10-18T04:39:20.123-07:00

According to the founder of Sahaja Yoga, the most revered Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi (Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi), Kanya Puja (Kanya Puja) during Navratri is not merely an external religious ritual, but a means of experiencing the spiritual purity (Innocence) within us and the manifest energy of the Adi Shakti.

Shri Mataji's invaluable thoughts and divine messages regarding Kanya Puja and the Kanya ritual are based on the following main points:

1. The Girl Child: An Embodiment of Manifest Purity (Innocence)

Shri Mataji always said that young girls symbolize the purity (Innocence and Auspiciousness) of Shri Ganesha and Mother Gauri. There is no ego or deceit within them. When we perform Kanya Puja during Navratri, we are actually worshipping that "supreme purity" which is the foundation of our Mooladhara Chakra (Mooladhara Chakra).

2. Women's Shakti and Genuine Respect for Girls

According to Shri Mataji, Kanya Puja does not mean merely feeding them or giving them gifts for one day.

• Respect in daily life: Girls and women should always be respected in society as forms of the Goddess.

• Not a one-day show: If we touch a girl's feet on one day and disrespect women or our own daughters in society on the other days, that worship is futile.

3. Experiencing the Chaitanya Waves (Vibrations)

From the perspective of Sahaja Yoga, young girls are very good carriers of Chaitanya (Divine Vibrations). When they are worshipped with complete devotion and love, highly positive energy and Chaitanya begin to flow through the environment and the practitioner's chakras, further strengthening the path to Self-Realization (Self-Realization).

4. Awakening the Maternal Qualities Within Us

Shri Mataji taught in her discourses that Kanya Puja and Navratri spiritual practice should awaken compassion, selfless love, and a sense of protection in our heart chakra. This worship erases our ego and makes us humble.

Vishwa Vandita Nirmala Mata - Bhajan

2026-10-15T05:33:57.367-07:00

Meaning and Interpretation of the Bhajan “Vishwa Vandita” 🌹

14 October 1992

In this divine discourse, Shri Mataji explained the meaning of the bhajan “Vishwa Vandita” in English. The following is a professionally refined English translation of the Hindi text.

This song was composed by a very famous music director, Shri Ravindra Jain, who directed the music for the television serial Ramayan, based on the great Indian epic. He was visually impaired. I do not know how it happened, but he met Me only three times, and then he composed this song. He says that among the many names of the Divine Mother, Adi Shakti, the first name is Vishwa Vandita, even though it is not included among Her thousand names.

The word Vishwa means “the universe,” and Vandita means “worshipped.” Thus, Vishwa Vandita means “the One who is worshipped by the entire universe.” I wholeheartedly agree with this name because it is a fact.

Sarva Pujita means that everyone worships Her. Sarva means “everyone,” and Pujita means “worshipped.”

Brahma Swaroopini means that She is the embodiment of the all-pervading Brahma Chaitanya, the Divine Consciousness.

Now, this is a new name. Yoga Niroopini is not included among the thousand names. It means that She explains, reveals, and demonstrates the nature of Yoga.

This, too, is a new name that does not appear among the thousand names.

“Shubhadam Varadam Namo Namah” means that She is the One who bestows auspiciousness and grants blessings. Varada means “the giver of boons or blessings.”

You know the meaning of Namo Namah: it means “I bow to Her in reverence and worship.”

Jagat Janani Nirmala means that She is the Mother of the entire universe.

Moola Prakriti Akhileshwar Ki means that She is the primordial nature, or original creative power, of Akhileshwar, the Almighty God.

Parashakti Parameshwari means that She is Para—the Supreme Power, transcending even the power of the Almighty God.

Vishwadharini Mangalakarini means that She sustains the entire universe and brings auspiciousness and well-being to all.

Once again, “Shubhadam Varadam Namo Namah” means that She bestows auspiciousness and blessings. All right.

Now, Sahaja Yogini Nirmala means that She Herself is a Sahaja Yogini. She attained Yoga through the Sahaja method, that is, spontaneously and instantaneously. She is the Sahaja Yogini.

Nirashraya Sarveshwari means that She is independent of any support or dependence. Yet, She is the Goddess of all that exists—the Supreme Sovereign of everything.

Premamoorti Bhakta Vatsala means that She is the embodiment of love and has profound affection for Her devotees and followers.

Premamayi Mateshwari means that She is filled with love and is the Divine Mother of all mothers. Mateshwari signifies the Goddess or Supreme Mother of all mothers.

Bhakti Pradayini Mukti Pradayini means that She bestows devotion and grants liberation. Bhakti Pradayini means the One who gives devotion, while Mukti Pradayini means the One who grants spiritual liberation.

Once again, “Shubhadam Varadam Namo Namah” conveys the same meaning: She is the bestower of auspiciousness and blessings, and we bow to Her with reverence.

Now, Pragat Saguna Nirguna means that She, who is formless and beyond attributes, has manifested in a perceptible form. Nirguna refers to the formless, attributeless aspect of the Divine.

Riddhi Siddhi Ki Dhatri means that She is the bestower of Siddhis and Riddhis.

Siddhis are spiritual powers through which one can give Self-Realisation to others, help heal people, and manifest the full potential of divinity.

Riddhi, on the other hand, refers to the attainment of contentment, peace, joy, and spiritual prosperity. It signifies progress and growth in these qualities.

Saumya Sarala Mahamana means that She has an exceptionally gentle, simple, innocent, and noble personality. Mahamana means that She possesses the greatest and most exalted mind.

Patanjali Gunapatri means that She possesses all the qualities described by Patanjali.

Ghat-Ghat Vasini literally refers to one who dwells in every vessel. However, in this context, Ghat refers to the human heart. Thus, the expression means that She resides in the heart of every person.

Atma Vikasini means that She expands, develops, and elevates the Spirit within us.

Once again, “Shubhadam Varadam Namo Namah” conveys the same message: She is the One who bestows auspiciousness and blessings. We bow to Her in deep reverence.

Mother Mahakali imparted Knowledge to Shankaracharya

2026-10-15T05:00:00.000-07:00

This episode between Adi Shankaracharya and Bhagwati Adyashakti (Mother Kali) is one of the most authentic and supernatural tales of the union of Advaita philosophy and the principle of Shakti. This story took place on the sacred land of Kashi (Varanasi).❤️

❤️Adi Shankaracharya established 'Advaita Vedanta' in India. His clear view was—"Brahma Satyam Jaganmithya Jivo Brahmaiva Naparah" (Only the formless Brahman is true, this visible world is illusory, and the individual soul is not separate from Brahman). Shankaracharya was at the highest peak of the path of knowledge. He believed that all forms, shapes, and divine plays of the world were merely the play of Maya.

However, he was so deeply absorbed in the worship of the attributeless, formless Brahman that he regarded the importance of the manifest form, appearance, and Shakti (Durga/Kali) as secondary to Brahman or merely an effect of Maya. He felt that knowledge alone was complete and that taking refuge in devotion or Shakti was only for beginning seekers.

The Incident in Kashi: Shankaracharya Without Shakti

Once Shankaracharya arrived in Kashi with his disciples. There he was preaching the Advaita doctrine. One day he became extremely ill (according to some texts, he had a severe fever, while according to others, he had become extremely weak due to continuous arduous spiritual practice and travel).

His body had become so weak that he sat down on the steps of the Ganges and was unable to take even a single step. His disciples had gone some distance away at that time to fetch water and medicine.

Just then, an elderly woman passed by. She had a vessel of water in her hand. Shankaracharya said to her in an extremely feeble voice, "O Mother! Could you give me a little water? I do not have the strength to get up and go to the water."

The elderly woman (who was actually Mother Kali/Bhagwati herself) stopped there and said with a smile, "O ascetic! You are yourself a great knower. If you need water, then get up and take it yourself."

Shankaracharya said plaintively, "Mother, you can see that I do not have the 'power' to get up. Without Shakti, I cannot even move."

A supernatural smile appeared on the elderly woman's face. She said, "O learned ascetic! Just think— you say that Brahman alone is everything and that Maya or Shakti is nothing. Then why are you unable to move even a finger today without 'Shakti'? If Brahman is everything, then why are your knowledge and your body lying lifeless without Shakti?"

There was not merely ordinary speech in the woman's words, but the echo of a cosmic truth. Shankaracharya's eyes opened. He understood that this was no ordinary woman.

At that very moment, the elderly woman revealed herself in her true supernatural form. In one hand she held a skull bowl, in the other the gesture of blessing, and her face radiated infinite compassion—she was Mahakali herself.

Mother Kali imparted knowledge to Shankaracharya:

Shiva and Shakti are one: Just as the heat of fire cannot be separated from fire, in the same way the manifestation of the attributeless Brahman (Shiva), that is, its active energy (Shakti/Kali), cannot be separated from it.

The distinction between Shava and Shiva: As long as consciousness is still, it is Shiva. When that consciousness becomes dynamic and creates, sustains, and dissolves the universe, that same consciousness is called 'Shakti'. Without Shakti, Shiva too is like 'Shava' (inert).

Soundarya Lahari and the Acceptance of Shakti

This encounter with Mother Kali ended the remnants of Shankaracharya's intellectual ego and the misconception that Shakti was merely an illusory Maya. He bowed his head at Mother Kali's feet and asked her forgiveness. At merely the touch of the Mother, his body became energetic again.

It was only after this divine event that Adi Shankaracharya came to regard not only the path of knowledge, but also devotion and the practice of Shakti, as part of Advaita itself. He composed great works on Shakti such as the famous 'Soundarya Lahari' and 'Kanakadhara Stotra'.

The very first verse of Soundarya Lahari bears witness to this event:

शिवः शक्त्या युक्तो यदि भवति शक्तः प्रभवितुं।

न चेदेवं देवो न खलु कुशलः स्पन्दितुमपि॥

Meaning: Supreme Shiva is capable of creating the universe or performing any action only when united with Shakti (Mother Kali/Parvati). If he is without Shakti, he cannot even make a single vibration (move).❤️🙏❤️🙏

Growing in Sahaja Yoga through self realisation and Meditation

Growing in Sahaja Yoga through self-realization and meditation

Titles are generated by AI from Meta

Dear All, Jai Shri Mataji

From time to time excerpts of Shri Matajis Talks are being sent to you, though I have been out of circulation for the past two months or so. I term these as teaching points of the Divine Mother because they are very significant for our spiritual growth in Sahaja Yoga and because they are from the Divine Mother Herself we have to imbibe them through meditation. Hence we should not only read them but also include them in our meditation and experience the results. It is in this context that when I was ill with the Tantric attack in 1997 and Shri Mataji called me to Delhi and taught me how to establish "Shri Ganesha Tatwa" by cleansing the Mooladhar and seeking the qualities of Lord Ganesha given on the four petals of Mooladhar. This is how I learnt that when we can express our pure desire to the Divine Mother and seek  qualities of a particular Diety/Chakra  those qualities are established, by the Grace of the Divine Mother, over a period of time. However there is a certain intensity of Tapasya involved and those who wish to grow, will have to give time for deeper meditation and ask for the qualities they are seeking.  

Do Read and imbibe the instructions given in the excerpt shown below.

Love and respects

EXCERPT

Why Don’t we grow in Sahaja Yoga

When people get Realization, they do not understand that they have to now grow. And why they don’t grow? Because they do not ask for these energies. A person who is a Realized soul, if he says that, “I have to have more compassion. My compassion is not all right. My concern about others is not all right. My generosity is not all right. I’m exploiting others. I’m exploiting their love.” Then this energy starts moving, giving you that greater dimension of love and compassion. But, if you do not want to be growing in your awareness, then She says, “All right, he is a half-baked Sahaja yogi, let it be.” She doesn’t supply that energy which is stored within you. I told you, three into seven, that is twenty-one, raised to power 108 (the energy that we have within).

So what a storage you have within yourself.

But because of your mundane style of thinking and asking — in the beginning, when I started Sahaja Yoga people used to ask for, say, jobs or for, ‘My mother is sick’ or a father is sick or they would ask for money or something like that. So these wants are not pure wants. As we know in economics, they are not pure wants. They’re impure wants, because they are never satiable in general.

So this Kundalini that is your Mother, She is there to supply you, nourish you, to look after you, to make you grow by giving you a higher personality. Higher personality, wider personality, deeper personality. Now, we think if somebody is well read, then we think he is a higher personality. Sometimes a person who is rich, we think he is a higher personality. Sometimes we think a person who is very hard working is a higher personality. Sometimes we think a person who is, I mean, some sort of a confusion about religion or something, we think he is a higher personality. Our ideas about higher personality itself are wrong. People are higher because they are spiritually evolved – otherwise, they are not..... Nobody respects them.

The Effect of Vibrated Water on the Growh of the Plants

2026-10-08T17:00:00.000-07:00

Prof. Dr. Felix KREISSLER from the university of Hannover/Germany and Prof. Kurt ZUCKRIEGEL from the University of Agriculture in Vienna/Austria, have reported on the contamination of barely-fields between Hannover and Vienna. Every year the farmers have to use tons and tons of manure to fertilize the farms, in order to keep the increase of the harvest at about 5%. The most successful increase in Vienna is about 5-7%.

A large number of scientists are reporting in alarming statements about the dying forests in Europe. USA and Canada. Most of the scientists have given up further research in this matter, because they cannot understand it. We have difficulty to understand a living process. A great portion of our knowledge is based on dead matter. We are able to produce daily thousands of cars, but no one can create on small living cell;

We all know how the ozone-layer in the atmosphere is dissolving and what danger that is to humanity, but our politicians are busy with themselves and have no time for all of us.

We scientists should not be egotistical about our technical achievements – what we praise as a great success today can turn into a great danger for humanity tomorrow – see our arsenals of atomic bombs, chemical weapons and so on.

In contrast the philosophy of SAHAJA YOGA offers a cheap, simple and easy solution for all these problems. The teachings of SHRI MATAJI NIRMALA DEVI make it possible not only to understand the living process and deal with them but also to solve many problems of the developing countires.

VIBRATIONS are a living thing as Shri Majaji Nirmala Devi explains, “they think and act”. The action of vibrations can be compared to the action of a magnetic field on iron. Just as iron atoms react to a magnetic field, in the same way earth. Water, flora and fauna- including human beings – react to the vibrations that flow from Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. It has been scientifically proved and accepted that this vibrations radiate from Shri Majaji Nirmala Devi herself as well as from her photograph.

As you know the connecting angle of the water molecule is 105 degrees and 28 minutes between the Oxygen and the Hydrgen. This angle is very stable and does not change under the influence of physical experiments of pressure, temperature and the like. The capacity of this angle is to dissolve various chemicals in the water. As vibrations are a living thing, our understanding is that through the action of vibrations on water-molecules this connecting angle gets changed to improve the dissolving capacity of water, positively and negatively for chemical substances.

Everyone that practices SAHAJA YOGA can experience that as the vibrations flow through his body the body-temperature cools down. If vibrations have the same effect on water then also water should cool down when vibrations are applied. That means that cool water as it is well known, has more capacity to dissolve an oxygen than warm water. This extra oxygen at the roots of plants enables better plant-growth.

Every atom spins at a certain speed and within a certain distance from each other. Therefore also every atom in water spins at a certain speed and within a certain distance from each other.

Our interpretation of the action of vibrations on water is that vibrations.

Change the speed of the spin of the atoms and
Bring the atoms nearer to each other.

That means that the connecting angle within the water-molecule remains unchanged, bu. a strong, negative field is created through the nearing of oxygen to hydrogen, which in turn gives water the capacity to dissolve (normally undissolvable) elements such as NH4 and other nitrogen containing elements. This is the reason why vibrations give to plants such a nice green color. As we know from many experiments, it is the nitrogen that gives to plants the dark-green color the more it is applied.

For the scientifically hard-minded researcher our interpretation would certainly need further verification. However for us the most important-thing is that this vibrations really exist and how they act is shown in the attached graphics. We leave the research of what actually changes in the water through vibrations to other scientists. For us it is important to research, how we can use this tremendous potential to solve many of our current problems’ not only in agriculture, but throughout the flora and fauna of our planet.

What is BANDHAN and its Significance

Like a telephone call to your
mother .
The text of the talk given by Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. 

" Attachments does not mean in any way that have to give  Me anything. What do you give Me? Nothing but detachment from the cause. And this works out. You have seen it in your lifetime. You also say that it works out.  "
Mother, somehow it worked out."

What is a bandhan? It is nothing but you are attaching yourself to your Mother. You are just telephonig  to Her. It is a telephone going to your Mother, that's all. 

You know  I also play with you. I also say,  "All right, I am giving you a Bandhan. " I am giving a bondhonin to Myself. It is telephone call, just a telephone call.

But the faith has developed now that, yes, this is the real faith where  you get completely dedicated in your  emotional things. "It is just my mother. All right, just give her a bandhan, finished.  My father-- give him a bandhan. My brother-- give him a bandhan, " whateverit is. 

Bandhan, whatever it is you are  putting them in the bonds of your Mother.  Which is flowing through your hands.

What are this  vibrations? It is your mother's love You have got it. It is flowing through you. 
But what about your love for your Mother? And that is what I find, that at the time when there is a complete emergency, that surrender comes in and it works.

Give a bandhan together for this problem and it will be solved.  Any kind of a basic problem which is corroding the life of people in any country can be solved very simply. You have to use this bandhan for all kinds of big problems in the collective. Any national problems or international problems, you can work it out on your bandhan and you can really solve the problems. It is not so difficult.  Giving a bandhan is very good thing. It works out in such a tremendous way and so efficiently. Very efficiently it works out.... But for problems which are collective problems, you must give a
collective bandhan. Which are personal, you can give a personal bandhan. I have already told that those who are going out their houses must take a bandhan before leaving because you are going out. God knows what sort of people there are".

Sahaja Family

Gather such people who are seeking God, who are wholeheartedly seeking God. If they are already stuck with a guru(false), then do not bring them to Me and stick them here, otherwise, they fight with Me. 

Everyone must have some known people, who are good people, who have decency in them, who do good to the world, always wish well for others, think good for others and who do not hanker after anything. Gather such simple people and bring them(to Sahaja Yoga). And don’t gather patients. I am fed up with sick people now. #

It so happens that now if someone’s disease is not cured, then they get after my life, “Mother, my disease is not going away”. What can I do if it doesn’t go away? The point is, what will I gain even after curing him? And they will keep pestering Me. And they will be the first to come and sit(in My programs). The most caught up people always come and sit in front. Now the problem is, how do I cure them? And they will nag me to death, “no, please cure me, You have to do it.” ...

Those who are good people, do not go to the extremes, they remain in the center, live in dharma, who are ordinary, common people, find such people. Very prominent people are very difficult to handle. ...

You always have interest in Sahaja Yogis. How are Sahaja Yogis, hope they are not in any trouble, they are not bothered about anything. You do not have interest in them(Sahaja Yogis) but in useless people. Those who are sahaja yogis and those who are seeking God, should be brought to one place. When these people will become all right, then we can correct the difficult ones. Otherwise, you bring such people who have four horns coming out of them. I don’t understand how to save Myself from them. Sometimes they run from this side, sometimes sometimes from that side. They just don’t listen to anything. So bring ordinary, simple people.

Now, if you say, he is your father, she is your mother, that is not the criteria. The criteria is, that whosoever is seeking God, only he is my brother, my sister, my mother. Christ had once said, “Who are My brothers, and who are My sisters?”  This is a very serious sentence. “Who are my brothers and who are my sisters?”  The Sahaja Yogis are His brothers and Sahaja Yoginis are His sisters. He is their eldest brother. Ganesha is your eldest brother. And those who are related to you by these worldly relationships, and into worldly relationships, these are worldly only. 

There is no need to be mad after them(relations). Gradually, you will be surprised, they will all come into it(Sahaja Yoga). By observing your behavior, your thoughts, your lifestyle, gradually they will all come. But there is no need to waste energy after them. When they all come gradually, let them come. You should reduce your sense of belonging. This is superfluous in us Indians, and none in the west. My son, my daughter, my this, reduce this a little bit.

But because Sahaja Yoga is going to flourish in the family, it is essential that the family atmosphere should be good, and gradually it must be expanded in your family as well. There is no need to hurt any family members in any way, gradually everything will be alright. It depends on your handling, and what authority you have at home, it depends on that. This way, bring everyone in love and by proving your love, bring them in Sahaja Yoga. And Sahaja Yoga is self-proven, there is no need to prove it. And because of that (Sahaja Yoga), it adds special charm to you. And you too will attain perfection. Now you are all perfect, and I bow to you all.’

The Root, Side Effects and Remedy of INFERIORITY

2026-10-01T08:47:20.627-07:00

The root, side effects and remedy of inferiority

The more society is being observed . The more it is becoming clear that we are all so similar. We just keep becoming different through our choices.

If we have come from this immature society then some learned behaviors will naturally be the same . Adults with a teenage mindset give their younger generation what they have.

Because of inferiority, real self-confidence cannot come . To live this human life, self-confidence is a very necessary weapon, if it is not there then no one can save you from being played by other people .

The more inferiority grows, the farther it takes you from the truth . The farther we go from the truth, the more wrong decisions will be made ; the more wrong decisions, the more incompetent we will find ourselves and forget self-confidence , we will become surrounded by negativity .

Then the external machinery will fill its pockets from your weaknesses ; false courses, rigid social rules , false gurus . All are sitting there to take advantage .

We do not know ourselves, because of which we cannot know others either . Because of this, we also become easy hits. Perhaps that is why all incarnations have said to know yourself.

I have not gone very deep yet but from whatever I have been able to understand externally , I have understood this much that inferiority is a very dangerous thing and seems to leak into every sphere of human life.

When there is inferiority, how many people will consider themselves inferior while that is a lie. None of God's creations is useless . The more lies we tell ourselves or the more tightly we hold onto them, the more it will harm us .

It will harm us to such an extent that it will become difficult to recognize ourselves and it will take us into millions of illusions and make us perform all sorts of actions . Inferiority is a deep pit , it distorts human intelligence and then on top of that we put on the lid of ego as well, because of which we cannot recognize at all what is right or wrong .

Now what is the way to fix this . Know yourself and then others also start becoming understood on their own.

To know ourselves we need help like children, so our Creator has sent that to give to all of us . Our own personal power which is in our subtle instrument and all of God Ji who are within us.

Will they not help us and they do help us. Just have the desire and the courage to make the inner journey . The greatest and truest well-wishers are seated within, in the heart .

We have to reach them by working hard with the mind we have created ourselves . Then they see, they make us our own true well-wisher, the meaning of love is also experienced through them, they destroy all inferiority, lies and we ourselves move toward self-confidence when we understand that hold on to reality ; lies , illusions, assumptions give nothing except suffering .

You will not find it by searching outside, it is within .

Hail Shri Mata Ji

Significance of Sahaja Yoga Meditation in reducing Academic STRESS

2026-09-30T17:30:00.000-07:00

Background of Study:

The Indian school education system is textbook-oriented that focuses on rote memorization of lessons and demands long hours of systematic study every day. The elaborate study routines that are expected by high school students span from the morning to till late evening hours, leaving little time for socialization, recreation, play games and sports by full strength.

Objective of Study:

The present study was conducted with a view to see the effect of Sahaja Yoga meditation on stress among school children.

Materials and Method:

Non-equivalent control group design was used for this experiment. The participants were 8th grade students from a school located in Mumbai. The students were randomly assigned to control and experimental groups. Experimental group received the treatment of Sahaja Yoga meditation program for 6 weeks, whereas the control group did not receive any treatment. Both groups were free to do their daily routine activities. Stress was assessed using a questionnaire before and after 6 weeks of Sahaja Yoga meditation program.

Statistical Analysis:

Collected data were analyzed with the help of the standard statistical technique t-test to conclude the investigation.

Results:

The results of the study showed a significant difference in academic stress (p < 0.05) after 6 weeks of Sahaja Yoga meditation program. However, there was no significant improvement in academic stress (p > 0.05) in the control group.

Conclusion:

Sahaja Yoga meditation program is helpful to manage the academic stress of school girls.
