Today, I'm going to talk about the mind. People don't know what this mind is. It is very easy to understand for Sahaja Yogis, that we are the ones who react, react to everything that is outside. The reason is, we have two horrible tendencies, one which is an ego, and another tendency is that we are being trained that way, or we can call it the superego or the conditionings. So, both the things,

What is Spirit? What work is it doing residing within us and how is it related to God? It is said that Spirit is the reflection of God in our heart. This reflection is like that of the sun in water. Although reflection of the sun is seen in water, he is away in the sky and not in water. Similarly Spirit is as much as it is seen, it is beyond all that and not limited by it. But, for any reflection

An enlightened personality, I can tell you, is a person who is beyond his mind. And he is in contact completely with this all-pervading power of divine love. As a result everything in that person is guided, helped by that divine love. That power is so great that it looks after you, it organizes everything, it thinks, it understands, it is wisdom of all the things. You become a person who is so

Sahaja Yoga found itself once more performing public realisation within the vast expanses of the Melbourne exhibition centre (Melbourne, Australia). On this occasion the forum was the oddly named Baby Boomers Lifestyle Expo. Far from making any meaningful contribution to the cause of health and well being, it was a thinly veiled grab for a piece of the accumulated life savings of a generation

The acclaimed Indian singer and Sahaja yogi, Sanjay Talwar, reports on his recent experience in Canada: I just got back from the Hindu Temple programme. We were given 20 minutes to talk about Sahaja Yoga and provide meditation. Edward and Brigetta (visiting yogis from Vienna), along with Osge from Vancouver set up the stage with Shri Mataji's big picture and the chakra chart beside it. I began

Advice by H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi: "On the left side, one starts getting many diseases like schizophrenia, in the upper level of this ‘group’. This side, these same seven centers act to give you very serious troubles. One of them is that people become schizophrenic. It can be cured; it can be cured, if you can move that person to the center. And by Kundalini awakening you can do it." (

Many of you have felt the cool breeze on your hands and out of your brain. Some have grown in Sahaja Yoga, some have not. Some are still carrying on with old catches. But now I have to say that quite a lot of you can become gurus. Means teachers. And should you act as teachers. To act as teacher you know Sahaja Yoga, the theory and the practice of it, thoroughly well. And then you can become

In 1981, on the India tour in Maharashtra, we went to a temple where Shri Rama had worshipped. It was a Shivalinga, very old and underground. Shri Mataji sat outside afterwards and had tea and started to tell us about the neem tree that was shading us. She was sitting under the neem tree laughing and laughing, breaking branches off and giving them to us to chew. ‘This is how the Indians clean

Advice given by H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi: But don’t worry about things which are of no value to us. You must know you are a special race. You are special soldiers who have been trained for doing Sahaj work only. So wasting energy on your relations and brothers and sisters is no good for you. It is to be understood now that you have your own energy reserved. For what? For Sahaja Yogis. You

Once you learn how to witness you will know the myth, you will know the absurdity, you will know the maya. So to overcome the problems of personality the best thing is to witness, practice witnessing everything: before talking, practice witnessing, before giving any comments, just start witnessing. It’s a very, very satisfying attitude. H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Shri Krishna Puja, Italy, 1998

A person who can witness himself laughing, that is perfect. One who laughs at others, his attention is in another direction. Again, one who can witness and laugh at himself, and his own environment and aspect, he is perfect. Endless blessings.

Sahaja Yogi: How do we protect ourselves from the clutches of the false gurus? H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi: Why did you have to go to a false guru? (Shri Mataji laughs) You tell me first, why did you go to a false guru? What attracted you to go to the false guru? How did you go there? You must ask yourself this first. Then you will realise that you ignored the evils of that false guru. That is

Sahaja Yogi: How do you attain nirvichar (thoughtlessness) in meditation? H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi: In meditation? There is no vichar (thoughts) during meditation. Why should thoughts come in meditation? You are not to seek anything during meditation. It is only to be felt within. It is you who have to discriminate whether you have realised this or not during meditation. In meditation, first

Now, to become a Guru, what do we have to do after our realization? Guru word means gravity. Gravity means a person who is grave, who is deep, who is magnetic. Now as you have learnt in Sahaja Yoga that realization takes place in complete effortlessness. So normally a Guru tries to make his disciples effortless, which is called as Prayatna Shaithilya - means "relax your efforts.” Without doing

We follow the Moon Calendar whereas the foreigners follow the sun calendar. This is the reason that the dates of their festivals never get changed. But all our festival depends on the Moon. That is why the dates keep changing and all our festivals are celebrated on different dates. We give much significance to Moon and decide all our dates and festivals according to it. The reason being the

Today I am going to tell you something about the Sea, because we are next to the Sea here, and must understand the feelings of a Sea. Sea is your Grandfather in a way, because He gave birth to Lakshmi, who becomes Mahalakshmi later on. So the Sea which is the Grandfather, we have to show all respect to Him. Normally the way people are living, in the West specially, also in India, people go and

The more you use your vibrations, much more you'll get it. It's a very nice cycle that is acting as it has acted in the case of the Sea, as I told you, that the water goes to the Himalayas, comes back at rivers. In the same way manifold, manifold your vibrations will be growing, and I would say that we should always use our vibrations for helping others, for giving to many things, to the plant,

Advice given by H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi "The whole Kali Yuga means the absolutely the worst and worst possible time for our destruction. That was over. Then comes Kruta Yuga, I mean, overlapping. Now, in Kruta Yuga, this all-pervading power, they call it Paramchaitanya, becomes active. It starts helping people to come along. That also has been going on some days. After this, is Satya Yuga.

This text is one of the older, ‘primary’ upanishads, and includes an early expression of the subtle system in the yogi: As a very long highway goes to two places, to one at the beginning, and to another at the end, so do the rays of the sun go to both words, to this one and to the other. They start from the sun, and enter into these arteries; they start from those arteries, and enter into the

The dreams come to you from the Kundalini itself, in a way. So what happens, the Kundalini is not connected on the central path, but it is the record, is all our past, all our record is in there, like a tape recorder has a tape, it is there. And what happens, that when you go very deep into Sushupti, that's the stage they call it, very deep into you, then the symbolism comes through that down

The public programs in Lebanon from 6 to 8 June 2008 were marvelous. At the Music Academy, about 21 received their realization. Four new seekers requested to have weekly meditation at the Academy. One of them is Russian and felt lots of joy inside.
