MOTHER ALWAYS GIVES EVERYTHING TO CHILDREN SELFLESSLY

 

*"Sabko Duwa Dena ..."*

This is the beautiful and inspiring story behind the famous Sahaja Yoga bhajan, "Sabko Dua Dena."

Gagangiri Maharaj was a great Hatha Yogi from the Nath Sampradaya. He was a descendant of the Chalukya Emperor, Pulakeshin I. After leaving home at a young age, he came into contact with the Nath tradition. He traveled with the Nath Yogis to Battis Shirala (in Maharashtra), where he was initiated into the order. He performed severe austerities for many years, standing chest-deep in water. The fish in the water ate away a large part of his legs, but he remained steadfast and unwavering in his penance.

Around 1975-1977, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi went to meet him at the Gagangad fort. As She was climbing the hill, a heavy downpour started, and She was completely drenched by the time She reached the top. When She arrived, the Maharaj was very angry and said, "Mother, why didn't you let me stop the rain? Was this a test of my ego?"

Shri Mataji smiled and replied, “I knew that you had brought a sari for me, and I also knew that we cannot accept a sari from a sannyasi (a renunciate). However, there is no harm in accepting clothes after getting drenched, which is why I did not let you stop the rain! What is the big deal about it?”

Hearing this, the Maharaj laughed like a little child and had the darshan (divine vision) of Shri Mataji's true form.

Gagangiri Maharaj: Mother, I knew that you would come on this day to grant me my Self-Realization. I have been waiting for this moment for thousands of years. Through my harsh austerities and difficult life, I was able to cleanse every chakra from the Mooladhara up to the Agnya. But I knew that ultimately, only You could help me take the jump from the Agnya to the Sahasrara and attain that ultimate bliss. As You were climbing the hill, I could see You in Your primordial form of the Adi Shakti, with all the deities dancing in a divine procession.

(He then offered the sari to Shri Mataji. Afterwards, he looked at all the Sahaja Yogis who had accompanied Her.)

Gagangiri Maharaj: Mother, why are you giving this priceless gift (Self-Realization) to so many people? Do they understand its true value? Do they realize what they have achieved so easily? It took me thousands of years to get my Realization. I had to go through countless severe penances and hardships.

Shri Mataji: You are a Guru and cannot be a Mother. I am a Mother and cannot be a Guru like you. A Mother always gives everything to her children selflessly. A Guru expects his disciple to face all the tests before receiving the blessings, but a Mother cannot do that. So, now that you have achieved this state, why don't you help me in my work?

Gagangiri Maharaj: As you say, Mother. …I was not fortunate enough to have a Mother like You, before…!!!

Gagangiri Maharaj: (To all the Sahaja Yogis) All of you are extremely fortunate to be receiving so much from the Mother Herself. So, understand its value and grow in it.!!!

A few days later, Maharaj's most beloved disciple, Shri Madhu Pawar, who used to write all of Maharaj's bhajans, had to go to Mount Abu for a yoga camp. He went to the Maharaj to ask for permission. The Maharaj said, "Go! And on your way, make sure to visit Shri Mataji in Delhi!"

He met Shri Mataji in Delhi and, after bowing at Her Lotus Feet, sought Her permission to leave. At that moment, Shri Mataji asked for a bundle of one-hundred-rupee notes and offered it to him, but he started refusing. Shri Mataji forcefully placed it in his hands and said, "Take it as prasad (a blessed offering); it will be useful." He took the money and left.

When he reached the railway station and took out his wallet to buy a ticket, he saw that all his money was gone. He was stunned and thought, "How did Shri Mataji know that I had run out of money!!!"

He then completed his entire journey with the money given by Shri Mataji, and throughout the trip, he was only meditating on Her. When the camp was over, he returned to Delhi, met Shri Mataji again, and offered a bhajan he had written at Her Lotus Feet.

That bhajan was none other than,

”Sabko Dua Dena, Mā, Sabko Dua Dena” (Give blessings to all, Mother, give blessings to all)

Shri Mataji loved the bhajan so much that She selected it as an 'Aarti' for Sahaja Yoga.

This is why there is a line in the bhajan:

”Jab dil mein aaye toh Madhu sangeet sun lo“ (When it comes to your heart, listen to the sweet music)

Here, 'Madhu' refers to Madhu Pawar, the disciple of Gagangiri Maharaj.

Jai shri mataji

Vibrated Water for treatment of various illnesses - research and experience

 

Doctor Galina, Russia, Dept. of Pharmacology & Neurology at Medical Press Conference

 Dear colleagues, I lead the laboratory of Pharmacology, Neurology. [Repeating for clarity] Respected colleagues, I lead the laboratory of Pharmacology and Neurology. 

And throughout my professional life, I have taken research into neurological and brain functions. In the Department of Eastern Medicine, we have opened Sahaja Yoga – a medical, biological centre of Sahaja Yoga. We have started practical research. If you allow, I will tell you shortly about it.

We showed how vibrated water influences the neuron, the nerve cell. Through very subtle methods we observe the potential of these nerve cells. The nerve cell gives a specific answer to the vibrations. And the nerve cell; the vibrations work on the nerve cell to ease or minimise the electronic emissions. I will not bore you with the technical aspects of it. Ianf yone is interested, he can ask afterwards.

I will like to tell you about the practices that we have in our centre. We observed 511 people who came to the school of Sahaja Yoga. Two-thirds were women. In essence, all seekers of truth-seeking some way. Most often headaches, nervousness, stomach irritability, ulcers and GIT type of problems. Every person filled out a special form. And in the process of ten days, he filled out this particular format. I will show you a spectral Victorian system of analysis. 

The structure of these sicknesses the first day he came to Sahaja Yoga. On the fifth day you see, the symptoms of sicknesses eased, and the area of the sickness diminishes and the level of sickness eases. It is a Victorian analysis. Headaches, insomnias on this side, GIT problems [inaudible] parameters. Conclusions. This is an area filled with people with bad vibrations. If the vibrations of Sahaja Yoga are interacting with bad vibrations, you get a second diagram. And if he is harmonising himself using the vibrations of Sahaja Yoga, you get this sort of pattern. Diminishing in the area.

I have worked a lot in physiology, but I have not seen a system which works better within the system of neurology.

Ten commandments given by Moses and Sahaja Perspective

 

Here is a brief elaboration of the Ten Commandments given by Moses in relation to Sahaja Yoga, showing their deeper spiritual meaning and how they align with the inner transformation brought about through Kundalini awakening:

---

1. I am the Lord thy God… thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Sahaja Perspective:
This aligns with the principle of Self-realization—recognizing the Divine within. In Sahaja Yoga, once the Kundalini awakens, the seeker experiences the connection with the one and only universal power (Adi Shakti), beyond all false deities or gurus.

---

2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image… nor bow down to them.

Sahaja Perspective:
True worship in Sahaja Yoga is based on vibrations, not idols. The emphasis is on direct experience of the Divine through meditation, not blind rituals or image worship without vibrational truth.

---

3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.

Sahaja Perspective:
Speech is sacred. In Sahaja Yoga, mantras and affirmations are used with deep respect and feeling. Words carry vibrations and must be used truthfully, not carelessly.

---

4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Sahaja Perspective:
Every day becomes sacred for a Sahaja Yogi, but daily meditation becomes the “Sabbath” — a time of stillness, inner silence (thoughtless awareness) and connection with the Divine.

---

5. Honour thy father and thy mother.

Sahaja Perspective:
Respecting parents aligns with the Mooladhara chakra (innocence and obedience) and Anahata chakra [motherly (left heart) and Fatherly (right Heart) qualities]. It also represents respect for Lord Shiva and the Mother Parvati, the primordial parents.

---

6. Thou shalt not kill.

Sahaja Perspective:
More than physical violence, this includes violence through anger, hatred, or ego. Sahaja Yoga teaches compassion, forgiveness, and non-aggression—purifying the Agnya chakra (forgiveness center).

---

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Sahaja Perspective:
Moral purity is essential to keep the Swadishthana and Nabhi chakras clean. Sahaja Yoga emphasizes chastity, respect for marriage, and rising above lustful tendencies.

---

8. Thou shalt not steal.

Sahaja Perspective:
Honesty and contentment are crucial qualities of a balanced Nabhi chakra. A Sahaja Yogi avoids greed and selfishness, knowing everything comes from the Divine in the right time.

---

9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

Sahaja Perspective:
This refers to truthfulness and the ability to recognize what is vibrationally correct. Speaking negatively or falsely about others spoils the Vishuddhi chakra (throat), which governs communication and collectivity.

---

10. Thou shalt not covet… anything that is thy neighbour’s.

Sahaja Perspective:
Desire for others’ possessions or achievements reflects imbalanced attention. Sahaja Yoga purifies attention and teaches us to be joyful in our own spirit, free from jealousy and competition.

Guru Pooja - Talk by Mataji on various aspects of Life of Sahajayogi.

 

In Sahaja Yoga the Guru Puja has a very different significant from any other Guru Puja. When you worship your Guru, you are also worshiping the Guru within you. This is not in any other Gurudisciple system, because in you, the Guru, the master has been awakened. And so, when you are worshiping your Guru, then this master within you is also worshipped, you respect it, you glorify it, you awaken it, and you manifest it. This, we have to realize that in Sahaja Yoga, if you are a Sahaja Yogi. Now, the quality of Guru first and foremost is that he makes you meet God, means he raises the Kundalini and establish the relation between the All Pervading Power, and as your Guru is Adi Shakti, you make that person meet also the Adi Shakti. So you have a double advantage, that at the same time, when you give them Realization, not only that you make them feel the union with the Divine Power, but you can make them meet the Divinity Itself, the source of Divine Power. So your responsibility as Sahaja Yogis is very great, because in you is - there is the Guru. Now in our mantras we say that, “Mother, I am my own Guru”. 

But saying that, do we realize that, “If I am my own Guru,” this “I” and “my Guru,” between the two, “What have I achieved? Where am I? Can I guide myself? Have I got the light of the Spirit on my attention so well- established and manifested that I can guide myself and guide others later on?” First of all, in the Guru principle it is important that you see to yourself the introspection: “Can I be my ownGuru? Have I become my own Guru?”

Guru's work is to establish the dharma - in the society, in the family, in relationships. All these Gurus, which are representing all these great symbols here, have done nothing but have established dharma. But first of all, before establishing the dharma, we should watch ourselves, “Have we got dharma within ourselves or not?”

Now, for a Guru as you have seen that in My own way, in My own image you have to come up. First of all your life should be absolutely transparent. Transparency is the essence of Sahaja Yoga. Everybody should know what you are doing, where you are going, what is the way you live, what is the way you are behaving. I have seen people, who are Gurus, also in the sense that we call them leaders, or we can call them sub-Gurus, or they cannot be called as priest, but I can say communication centers as they are. In them you find that they are very fussy type of people. Always think about their body, always think about their comfort, always grudge about what's - nobody looked after them, as if they suffer from persecution-mania. Or they will grudge about food, “I didn't eat my food for one day.” Doesn't matter. For a Guru it's better to starve for about three, four days nicely, so that you get over this idea of hunger. You'll be surprised since I'm here I have not eaten anything much, just drinking something because just the Guru has no hunger, because it is in your stomach the Guru - vibrations are so much that you don't feel like eating anything. So, then what do you eat and how do you eat and all these things that we have given up to come to Sahaja Yoga. So even if leaders have this nonsense in their head, “What do you get to eat,” I mean, this is the basics, absolutely, and when I hear some people telling Me, “Oh, what did they eat and how did they eat” and all, it's like I feel they are like tourists in Sahaja Yoga. Just come in Sahaja Yoga like tourists, you see, to see places and go round and to know where you get, in what restaurant you get good food and cheaply.

So, this is a one big ordeal, which we do not understand, how much we are attached to food and food goes in the stomach. And not only that it spoils our Guru system, but also spoils our physical system. So we should try not to look at food. That's why fasting was told to the all the people who wanted to develop their Gurupada, so that they should not fast. But they do not fast normally because they think of food, so there's no fasting. I mean, fasting means that you go into nirvichara and don't think of food, but they are all the time thinking of food, so it has no meaning and you are just the same whether you eat it or not, your mind is eating it all the time. Then you start thinking, “When will I end my fast and know where will I go to have what?” So this is a very basic thing that we should get rid of our habits, of our conditionings, “What we are going to have and what food we are going to have.” Our children also should be given a proper training about it that it's all right, sometimes there is no salt, sometimes there's no sugar, doesn't matter. And sometimes there's nothing, doesn't matter, nothing important for a Sahaja Yogi, you can live without food for days together, no problem

If you see the lives of all these Gurus, they were married, they had children, they lived a normal life. But in their own personal life they were absolutely detached people. So first detachment should come from food. And there whatever you like you just don't eat. That's the best way, because already because of liking something. Supposing if somebody's fond of ice-cream. He must have already spoiled his liver, so they give up. If you like pasta, give up pasta. If you like something else, just give up, don't ask for it and don't eat it at all so that you see your mind will get little bit detached from it. It's very easy to achieve this detachment, I think, if you work it out in a sensible way. Just try to punish your body. You see, if you are your Guru, you better take hold of first of all your body and yourconditionings. You have to treat your body with this thing. I am told many girls who have married abroad are still making their Indian food and eating this, horrible it is. They should starve. If they starve for say about five-six days or maybe eight days, then they'll eat any food in any case. That's why the fasting is given. So one should adjust oneself to any kind of food you can have. 

Now the second part is for the body you need comforts. I must congratulate the Western Sahaja Yogis that they may be coming from any walk of life, I must say, the Indians have to learn from them. They may be coming from any position or status. All of them enjoy the comfort of the Spirit when they travel in the Tour. They do not ask for, “ Why I haven't got a chair, I haven't got a bed, I haven't got a proper things.” In this way you see you will realize that the body comfort is of no importance. It's we have just spoilt our body, there's no need, no need. Body you put it anywhere will sleep in any case. If you cannot sleep for two nights, all right, put on some music for one night or two nights as we had here, you will sleep anyway. So this is the second point is that we have to give up body comfort

So this also should go from your head that anything antique is something good. It's a - it's a very superficial value if you see to it. Because people I have seen think that antique is something expensive. It's just a marketing style that people have felt that this is expensive, that is expensive, so it's something great, to wear something stupid and to say that this is antique jewelry and go about. I mean, God knows how many people must have used it and must have worn it and what must be the feelings of that person. So we have to understand that this conditioning that we have in our heads, that we must have something antiques with us, keep something of such value. I mean, these questions never arose before, so it's not written in any books. Anyone of the books of the Gurus is not written that, “Don't care for antiques.” They have written, “Don't smoke”, do not  drink, all other things which spoils your Nabhi. They've written all these things. But they have not written that, “Don't worry about antiques so much.” You see, and I find that's a craze nowadays and so we have to tell people that we have to be careful. Moreover I feel the way people have gone to drugs and that, maybe that because they used so much antiques that the bhoots from the antiques must have caught. Can't understand that why people are so melancholy, all the time crying, weeping, and all that. So the conditionings of these matter as we think it to be is to be absolutely taken out.

The Power of a Devotee's Tears

 

The Power of a Devotee's Tears

"We were in Prague, and we were supposed to go to Poland via… again same thing happens to me with experience I had… via Vienna. And we had a very great Sahaja Yogi with us who told me that the plane will be leaving at eleven o’clock. And from the airport he rings me up, “No, the plane is leaving at 9:30.”

If I want, I can be ready in five minutes or I can take two hours, depends on. So I was ready, I just jumped into the car. We reached the airport, but we were late by fifteen minutes, and the ground lady started shouting at me at the top of her voice, “You people, you are VIPs, you are this, you are that.” All kinds of things she said to me. And this Sahaja Yogi could not bear it and he felt that it was his mistake (that) he told me a wrong time, “That’s why this lady is shouting at my Mother.” He couldn’t bear it. He was very unhappy.

So, we went into the aeroplane with this lady shouting behind, and we saw that the pilot and engineers, they were busy with some correction of the machinery. They said, “It is little bit out of order, it will be ready.” So we sat down. Now this Sahaja Yogi could not bear it, and his tears started rolling down his eyes. Then another Sahaja Yogini, she said, “Brother, it’s all right. Don’t cry.” They were sitting behind me, I just turned round. I said, “It’s all right. Don’t worry.” He said, “No Mother, because of me she could say all these things, you know, I can’t bear it.” And he couldn’t stop crying. Within one minute, the sky, which was absolutely open, was covered with big clouds like huge, big elephants walking into the whole area – very big. All the Sahaja Yogis who were standing also on the other side, on top of the airport, saw it happening. The whole thing became absolutely jet-black. “Oh, my God,” I said, “see, the tears of this gentleman has such powers.” And then the airport people told us that this plane is out of order, so we have to get down. So, we got down, we came back.

Then he went to this ground hostess and told her, “Now, whom should we shout at? Now the plane is not going, should we shout at you? How dare you shout at my Mother and all those things?” But all the people there at the airport, who were still in… under the same regime style, got such a fright.

The manager himself walked to me. He said, “For your plane there’s still five hours and if you want out we can give you permission, all of you can go out.” And he took me by a special way. I couldn’t understand this reaction though. So I went out and we did some shopping or something, and when we came back, we were surprised. All the airport was rather stunned by us. And when I walked, that was the only plane that was leaving.

All the traffic had stopped except for this plane. And when we walked down to board the plane, the gentleman who was there said, “Mother, can you help me?” I said, “How?” “I have got a terrible back pain.” I said, “How can I do it?” Then one lady walked in to say, “Mother, please, I have pain in my shoulder. Can you put Your hand on that?” I just put my hand on her shoulder and she said, “I am feeling all right.” She started lifting her arm. Then I went. I thought I’d better now take to the aeroplane.

When I was walking, the same gentleman came to me, he said, “Why not put hand on my back?” I said, “I have to board the plane.” He said, “I’ll walk with You. You just put Your hand on my back. I’m sure I’ll be all right.” And we walked together about two minutes or so, he said, “I’m all right.”

The whole atmosphere changed. It was such a tremendous effect on these people who have been under a regime and have been really military-like, and the whole treatment was so funny. The whole thing changed in such a short time, and I was amazed how the tears of this Sahaja Yogi has worked this wonder.

Now, imagine a moment when tears started rolling his eyes, that moment just manifested a big drama. And, ultimately, what you find is that the people at the airport became extremely humble and respectful.

Power Of Attention. Birthday Puja. India. 21/03/1994

https://www.amruta.org/1994/03/21/birthday-puja-1994/?highlight=21/03/1994

Thoughtless Awareness

 

Thoughtless Awareness 

The Indian scriptures describe the following four states of human awareness:

 Jagruti the waking state of consciousness

 Swapna the dreaming state of consciousness 

Sushupti the state of deep sleep in which the mind, the ego and superego are still 

Turya the state of thoughtless awareness beyond the mind 

The first three states of awareness are commonly experienced in our daily lives. 

The fourth state is the state of thoughtless awareness or nirvichara samadhi. This is the state in which the constant rising and falling of thoughts in the mind comes to an end. At first a gap—vilamba—begins to appear between the thoughts. As this gap grows the thoughts diminish and, with the regular practice of meditation, the mind enters easily into thoughtless awareness. Theattention becomes still like a lake without any ripples on it and a deep inner peace begins to dawn upon our awareness. 

When there are no ripples on the water of a lake, its surface becomes almost invisible as it reflects the beauty of the landscape around it—the trees and the sky and clouds. In the same way, the still mind reflects the beauty of the creation and melts into the bliss and the peace of the divine. Our growth in Sahaja Yoga lifts us to this higher level of consciousness. “Now, instruction in Yoga (Union). Union is restraining the thought-streams natural to the mind. Then the seer dwells in his own nature. Otherwise he is of the same form as the thoughts.”

 Patanjali – “Yoga Sutras” “Enjoyment is only possible when you are beyond your mind. With your mind you can never enjoy. It’s like a big load. It will not act, it will not help. Enjoyment comes when you are in complete silence—in a rippleless lake. The reflection of all the joy that is created on the shores of that lake are completely reflected, they are scribble about GAP Gap between thoughts  

 Let the mind become still.” Lao Tze Tao Te Ching, verse 16 4 What is Sahaja Yoga Sahaja Yoga – a beginner’s guide X not deflected. If there were ripples it would have been a different image altogether and would have been something nowhere near the image of reality.” Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi – Italy, Oct 1, 1995

 In the state of thoughtless awareness we think neither of the past nor of the future. We are entirely in the present moment, in the state of being and do not waste the precious moments of life thinking about times that are finished forever or yet to come. We start to enjoy our Self, our Spirit, our own inner beauty and the beauty of creation. We start to enjoy being. We are able to enjoy the singing of birds and the scent of flowers at a much deeper level as we are no longer bombarded by the meaningless mental chatter that assails our awareness and pollutes our attention, distracting us from the simple joys of our existence.

 In this state, we start to feel the vibrations of our chakras and our surroundings (and the effect of our behavior and lifestyle) on our fingertips. As a result we spontaneously and naturally change ourselves and our environment so that we maximize the joy, both for ourselves and for those around us.

 Shri Mataji has described this as“innate religion.” “The Self, which is in fact the Lord and which is called ‘I’ because it abides in the body, is different from the physical and subtle bodies. ‘I am that Spirit. I am without attributes, actionless, eternal, ever free and indestructible. I am not the body which is ever changing and unreal.’ This is called Knowledge by the wise.” Shri Adi Shankaracharya

Sahajayoga - Experiences of seasoned Doctors as explained in Medical Press Conference 1993 in New Delhi

 

Following in the message by Dr. Talwar.

 Dr Talwar: Jai Shri Mataji. Too long and too far to be used to standing behind the mike and talking. Your Holiness, at Your Feet I picked up only one thing. That there is something known as the language of vibrations. And that is what is learned in Sahaja Yoga.

My friend here, one of them asked the proof in the laboratory about the cure for cancer and the diseases. I want to put to you humbly, that the best proof and the best lab is the individual who is suffering from the trouble. It is actually the experience that one goes through with the practice of Sahaja Yoga and bringing yourself into the balance. That you literally find, literally find, a chemical and a neurological balance occurring within your body. Which ultimately brings your wellbeing to the balance of ease, taking away your disease.

I only want to share with you my own experience. It is now forty years I practised in medicine as an obstetrician-gynaecologist and ultimately gave it up. Because I found the futility of only following the laboratory. Because the best lab is in me. And I found that if my lab works properly, the effect of it is felt in others also. It is actually correct when you say that the proof of the pudding lies in its eating. Not in others experience. But you eating the pudding yourself.

Till you have the experience of Sahaja Yoga, it is very difficult for you to appreciate. I may be pardoned if I say this, but to appreciate the real true meaning of Sahaja Yoga. If I tell you about my experience, it is mine. But I still put it before you. 

I was proclaimed as a patient of essential hypertension. And tried on as a guinea pig by my doctor friends for a number of years. Till I became a victim of medicine. So much so that the anti-hypertensive drugs which were given to me, gave me more trouble than the disease itself. Ultimately, thanks to Mother and thanks to Sahaja Yoga, I have not taken medicines for nine years now. And my blood pressure seems to be fairly balanced. 

I can also share that my wife is here, who is suffering from what is called poly-arthritis. Had practically become a cripple. And also being a doctors wife, had become a guinea pig of so many medical friends. And she went through more hell, I should say, from the treatment than from the disease itself. But ultimately thanks to Sahaja Yoga, through Mother, she is sitting right here, and she is very healthy, and she is full of cheer and laughter. Which seemed to have eluded our family for a long time.

And the last thing is, I underwent four operations for my eyes. And at the last one, they said degenerative changes had started for my eyes and soon I shall go blind. This was about twelve years ago. Thanks to Sahaja Yoga, I can even drive my car at night. 

I can only say, these are very small experiences but very valid as far as the individual is concerned. I say in all humility, my friends, this is a subject you should take it along with you. We need the media to spread something positive. And not just give the news which saddened us in the morning. Thank you very much.
