Description

Sahaja yoga is a spiritual practice that was founded in 1970 by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. It is a form of meditation that aims to awaken the inner spiritual energy within each individual. The word "Sahaja" means spontaneous and effortless and the goal of sahaja yoga is to achieve a state of spontaneous meditation, where one can experience inner peace and self-realization. The practice of sahaja yoga is based on the belief that every individual has a dormant spiritual energy, known as kundalini, which lies at the base of the spine. Through the practice of meditation, this energy can be awakened and channeled through the body, leading to a state of inner peace and spiritual awakening. Sahaja yoga is a unique form of meditation that is accessible to everyone, regardless of age, religion, or background. It does not require any special skills or prior experience with meditation. The practice is simple and easy to learn, and it can be practiced anywhere, at any time.

Benefits of sahaja yoga

Sahaja yoga has been found to have numerous physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits. One of the most significant benefits of sahaja yoga is its ability to reduce stress and anxiety. The practice of sahaja yoga promotes relaxation, which can help to reduce the symptoms of stress and anxiety, such as high blood pressure, headaches, and insomnia. Another benefit of sahaja yoga is its ability to improve mental clarity and focus. The practice of sahaja yoga involves focusing on the present moment, which can help to improve concentration and focus. It has also been found to improve memory and cognitive function. sahaja yoga has also been found to have numerous physical benefits. The practice has been found to improve flexibility, balance, and coordination. It can also help to improve cardiovascular health and strengthen the immune system. In addition to its physical and mental benefits, sahaja yoga also has numerous spiritual benefits. The practice of sahaja yoga can help to awaken the dormant spiritual energy within each individual, leading to a state of inner peace and self-realization. It can also help to improve relationships and promote a sense of connectedness and unity with others.

Practice of sahaja yoga

The practice of sahaja yoga is simple and easy to learn. The first step in practicing sahaja yoga is to find a quiet, comfortable place where can sit undisturbed for a few minutes. Sit with one spine straight and hands resting on lap, palms up. The next step is to focus on breath. Take a few deep breaths, inhaling slowly through nose and exhaling slowly through mouth. As you breathe, focus on the sensation of the breath moving in and out of your body. Once you have established a rhythm of breathing, bring your attention to the base of your spine. Imagine a small ball of energy at the base of your spine, and visualize it beginning to rise up through your body, moving up your spine and into your head. As the energy rises, focus on each of the seven chakras, or energy centers, in your body. Visualize the energy moving through each chakra, clearing any blockages and promoting balance and harmony. As the energy reaches the top of your head, imagine it expanding outwards, filling your entire body with light and energy. Allow yourself to rest in this state of inner peace and self-realization for a few minutes, before slowly opening your eyes and returning to your daily life. The practice of sahaja yoga can be done for as little as ten minutes a day, making it an easy and accessible practice for everyone

Conclusion

Sahaja Yoga is a powerful practice that can help individuals achieve a state of inner peace and spiritual awakening. Its simplicity and accessibility make it an ideal practice for anyone looking to reduce stress and anxiety, improve mental clarity and focus, and enhance their physical and spiritual well-being. Through the practice of sahaja yoga, individuals can awaken their dormant spiritual energy and experience a deeper sense of connection and unity with themselves and others.

Research on the effect of Vibrations on WATER

 

Research on the effect of vibrations  on water 

With the spreading of Sahaja Yoga, it became well known that water can be vibrated by Shri Mataji, directly by her personal impact or in the presence of her photograph. Many people experienced medicinal properties of such water.

Vibrated water doesn't get spoiled when stored for a very long time, like several months.

For estimating the quality of the water we used standard, worldwide accepted, sanitary chemical characteristics, which indirectly characterize the degree of water contamination.

We performed several experiments with various sources of water. Water taken from a tap in Kiev was placed near Shri Mataji's photograph.

Obtained results (Table 1) show that the effect of vibrations has changed all the characteristics. Effect of purification comprised from 10% to 70%. It is remarkable that the strongest effect occurred for the limited characteristics exceeding the permissible allowance, such as the content of iron and ammonia, the water turbidity.

Characteristics	Initial water	Vibrated water
Permanganate oxidability, mg/l	6.3	5.9
Turbidity, mg/l	1.8	0.7
Chromaticity, deg.	60	47
Iron, mg/l	0.69	0.18
Ammonia, mg/l	0.9	0.6
Active reaction of medium, pH	7.45	7.55
Alkalinity, mg-ekv./l	2.4	2.3

In the next experiment, the water was vibrated by adding to it some water vibrated by Shri Mataji personally. 15 milliliters of vibrated water were added to 1.5 liters of water taken from the tap.

The results are shown in table 2. As one can see from the data, Shri Mataji's vibrations had an effect on all the characteristics studied. In this chase the change in the values is not large, but the quality of the tap water was good to start with (the initial values were within the norm accepted for drinking water).

Characteristics	Initial water	Vibrated water
Permanganate oxidability, mg/l	3.6	3.4
Iron, mg/l	0.12	0.10
Hardness, mg-eq/l	3.8	3.4
Ammonia, mg/l	0.27	0.09
Nitrides, mg/l	-	-
Nitrates, mg/l	1.0	0.9
Chlorides, mg/l	49.0	46.9

Many Sahaja Yogis know the fact that the river Barbera in the town of Cabella in Italy was extremely polluted, the local people could not use it. Now there is even trout in this river³.

We performed an analysis of the water from Barbera river, and also after adding to it some amount of water vibrated by Shri Mataji (5 milliliters in half a liter).

The results, presented in Table 3, clearly show that the quality of the water in the river is now much better than in many sources of purified drinking water. But even here Shri Mataji's vibrations improve all the characteristics.

Characteristics	Vibrated water	Water from Barbera river
Permanganate oxidability, mg/l	1.46	1.84
Iron, mg/l	0.08	0.12
Hardness, mg-eq/l	2.8	2.9
Ammonia, mg/l	0.015	0.018
Nitrides, mg/l	-	-
Nitrates, mg/l	8.5	10

The researchers are very grateful to Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi for the invaluable information and the opportunity given to do this research.

A NEW AWARENESS

 

A NEW AWARENESS

“Truth is what you know on your Central Nervous System”

“you are not this body, mind, emotions or thoughts,

but you are the pure Spirit”

So spirituality is the core of each individual and

your Spirit is watching through the auras of your heart.

Spirituality is the basis of every great religion which all say

every person has an individual Soul in relationship to Source or God, and that you must be born again, to know and become your true Self, your Spirit, or God-Self.

What is your Spirit?

“Spirit is the reflection of God, almighty, the Father,

eternal, source and witnessing consciousness”

So we can say that God the Father is transcendent,

the witness beyond the Creation, Absolute consciousness

Whilst God the Mother is immanent, the Desire Power of God as

Mother Earth, Mother Nature, and Evolutionary consciousness.

Kundalini is your divine Mothering power

And when auspiciously requested She rises to

Give you your connection, your Yoga

your communion or Union with your divine Fathering power

and this happening brings a new realisation and awareness in you

Kundalini brings you a new awareness of your Subtle Body System and empowerment for balancing, clearing and deepening your experience of the Spirit.

It is said that your Divine Mother cannot refuse

the heartfelt call of a sincere Seeker of Truth.

It is She as Kundalini that rises to give you your second birth,

to nourish, and facilitate your spirituality, your becoming your Spirit. So to facilitate your own becoming you will need

A new awareness, of true knowledge and a few techniques.

How do you get this new awareness? Activate your Kundalini?

You must ask in your personal freedom with your pure desire.

“Mother please give me pure divine knowledge and vibratory awareness”

THE SUBTLE BODY SYSTEM

“This Subtle Body System definitely exists within us”

but maybe we have not felt it as yet, but we can. Behind your gross physical body is your Subtle or Soul Body system and it is thought to be more ‘real’ and relevant than your physical body.

Subtle Body Instrument

Your Central Nervous System is literally

the incorporation of your Subtle Body System

the instrument for your awareness, for

Self-Knowledge and also your discrimination, intuition

or vibrational, subtle body awareness and Collective Consciousness

Essentially the Subtle Body Instrument is built upon

your Sympathetic Nervous System comprised of

3 Channels, or Nadis and these reflect the Gunas, or moods of the Creation. Every individual for instance has a Brain Bias, a Temperament, Individual Personality and Type-Style, and an individual Soul Consciousness. The template is Universal, but the individual temperament is a unique expression.

Subtle Body Instrument

Left Sympathetic Channel

Ida Nadi, or Left Moon Channel, Past,

Right Brain - Super Ego

Emotion, Intuition,

Sub Conscious, Yin

Desire

Right Sympathetic Channel

Pingala Nadi, Right, Sun, Future,

Left Brain - Ego,

Thought, Sensation,

Supra Conscious, Yang

Action

Centre Para Sympathetic Channel

Sushumna Nadi, Central, Ascent ,

Whole Brain - Crown,

Evolution, Integration,

Super Conscious, Yoga Awareness

In our programs we will look at how to use

this new awareness to discriminate, to balance,

to clear and deepen our yoga with practices

and techniques that may help you establish in Yoga.

Our purpose is to become the Spirit.

To become our own master, and teacher, or guru

based on this our new awareness and practices

The procedures taught in Sahaja Yoga are to guide you

in the facilitation of your own Spiritual growth,

and progress is often spontaneous, Sahaja .

Your spiritual growth is faster when you can enter and sustain the state of pure Presence, thoughtless awareness, mental silence or Samadhi as its called.

This means balancing your three channels and

clearing your subtle centres or chakras so your attention

can rise into and touch the realms of Heaven.

There are high states of Samadhi that appear to parallel the qualities of the higher deities, and their higher chakras. Each yogi and yogini will have a unique experience as they seek the Mysterious Source of all, borne aloft by the Great Mother.

Sahajayoga in the Workplace

 

Sahaja Yoga In The Workplace Most of us spend a lot of time at work and we all dream about a workplace where we could deal with enlightened people, integrate work and family life in a balanced and dharmic way, and (bottom line) enjoy what we do and the environment in which we do it. This section deals with the relationship between Sahaja Yoga and the workplace. It includes articles and stories related by yogis on the way Sahaja Yoga helps them in their everyday life at work. We plan to talk about the various ways in which Sahaja Yoga can affect our life at work, how to improve working conditions and about studies or theoretical contributions made on the more general topic of spiritual awakening and effectiveness of people at work. The reality shows that conventional management practices no longer work. What is more, employees and managers are more and more stressed and are looking for solutions to their problems. The good news is than an increasing number of business people are aware that the rational has its limits and that the solution may come from very different directions such as the spiritual path and Sahaja Yoga in particular. Sahaja Yoga for a Software Designer I'm working as a software designer for a large sized corporation. Having to deal with the computer 8 hours a day is a constant source of imbalances for my attention that I need to constantly watch and correct, as well as my eyes, so that I can preserve a good eyesight without having to wear glasses. Also, being surrounded constantly by a really active group of people, I have to protect myself from becoming overactive - it's really fun to watch myself and where my attention is going, especially when a product deadline is approaching. The witnessing power that Sahaja Yoga gives has many a time been of great help. Every morning when I arrive at the workplace, I always raise my Kundalini with my attention. After raising my Kundalini I take a moment to establish the peace within me by putting my attention on the Spirit in my heart: "I am not this body, mind, or project endeavor, but I am the pure Spirit, and I surrender all the work of the day to my Spirit". Once this point is established, I feel refreshed, centered, and with my attention in the Sahasrara (seventh center, the point of our connection with the All-Pervading Power) I start my work. Oh, how I wish my attention would stay there all the time till it's time to go home ! Well, but fortunately there is a lunch break and other short breaks I can take in the afternoon or even morning if I need to. And it took me a while to learn that yes, breaks are necessary to empty your mind  of the work and refresh my attention by enjoying my Spirit for a couple minutes. Luckily I live in a climate where it's summer 9 months of the year and we have a nice little courtyard inside the compound - more of a garden judging by the beautiful trees and flowers. I always take my lunch and a short break in the afternoon and, even if there are other people around, I always look only at the sky, clouds and all the nature surrounding me. After a while of fighting my "continuation thoughts" ('ok, so after lunch I gotta set that parameter to zero cuz' otherwise the analysis will be 12.5% off, plus...'), my mind is put to rest and I become again connected to the nature, to my Spirit, and a meditative state slowly sets in. Back to my cube and can't catch a bug in the program ? I leave it for a few minutes, I go into meditation for a little while and there is a good chance that inspiration will come. "How come I didn't see the obvious?..." Soon it's the end of the day. I have already had a couple short meditations - sometimes the Kundalini comes up by itself so strong that I give up whatever I'm doing and I just enjoy my meditation for even a few seconds. Some of these spontaneous meditations are amazingly beautiful... Outside, a big, huge sky is waiting for me to enjoy. All feels fresh, like I'm just about to go to a big party or celebration. And maybe I'm going to. Making Sahaja Yoga meditation part of the day is my way of being free at work and sharing my joy with others. https://www.sahajayoga.org/researchandbenefits/sahaj_workplace.asp

Sahajayoga Benefits - Physical, Mental, Emotional , Spiritual

 

Sahaja Yoga Meditation has a beneficial impact on every aspect of a person’s life – our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual life. By bringing about an inner transformation, the benefits of meditation accrue not only to the individual but also to the society, the nation and ultimately the whole of humanity. Sahaja Yoga Meditation brings about integration of all the traditional spiritual teachings of the world.

Physical benefits

It is our subtle system which co-ordinates all the work done by the organs and the cells in our body. When one of our subtle centres is blocked, physical dysfunctions appear in the organs it controls. It is then that illnesses appear. Traditional medicinctly addre tries to cure the symptoms. Sahaj meditation allows us to direess the causes, by rebalancing our subtle system and by cleaning our centres using the purifying Kundalini mothering energy within.

Mental benefits

When we enter a state of meditation,we enter the realm of silence,  the thoughts which assail us fade away, and the reality of the present is revealed to us in all its intensity. Our senses send us a direct image of the world which is not altered by our mind or our conditionings. The mind even becomes the enlightened servant of our illuminated spirit.

Emotional benefits

When the Kundalini mothering energy is awakened and we are immersed in a state of meditation, our emotions are also brought into balance. All the weaknesses which hinder the expression of pure and sincere sentiments, such as greed, insecurity, jealousy etc. are reduced when the joy of meditation is felt. This joy is absolute, devoid of all duality. This same joy becomes the motivation of our emancipation.

Spiritual benefits

Last but not the least, Sahaj meditation reveals to us the eternal, divine being that is truth, awareness and bliss. We become part and parcel of the whole, like a drop in that ocean of love, and in meditation we melt into that primordial being. This experience is the next stage in the evolution of a human being’s awareness: that person is said to be born again or realized. This means that our spiritual essence, that was previously hidden, becomes reality. We can now set about purifying our inner being, with the help of the self-knowledge that Shri Mataji gives us and the relationship we establish with her in our meditation. Our union with the Divine will become stronger and stronger as we go along and is without doubt the most precious benefit that Kundalini awakening can bring us. This middle way that is established within us day after day by our Kundalini will shower numerous blessings upon us, not only of a physical, emotional or psychological nature, but also mental, social and professional benefits.

From the very beginning, the flow of vibrations help us to decipher and decode messages from the collective unconscious informing us of problems affecting the different chakras. Thanks to our own enlightened attention and the observation of our inner being during meditation, we can know the vibratory state of our own or anyone else’s subtle system.

Carbon Atom revealed Cross, Om and Swastika

 

A scientific Proof in Laboratory in Cerritos, Los Angeles (USA)

".... Her Holiness Mataji Nirmala Devi made certain revelations based on Her divine vision, to a very renowned scientist of United States, Dr. Vinod Ram Rao Worlikar of Cerritos, Los Angeles, about the carbon atom/ The details are mentioned below

Dr. Vinod Ram Rao Worlikar of Cerritos, Los Angeles (USA) in a communication said that, 'In 1987 Her Holiness Mataji Nirmala Devi, while on Her visit to Houston, revealed that the carbon atom when viewed from bottom shows a cross (†) but when viewed from left and right shows an Om and a

Swastika respectively. It was difficult to believe at the first instance. However, on my return to Los Angeles (Cerritos), I tried to verify it in my laboratory and to my surprise it was absolutely the same as She told me. The carbon atom model

had all the four valences in dumbbell shape, instead of three valences in dumbbell shape and one valency in the spherical shape (Sp³ Hybridization). While putting the utmost concentration on this point I adjusted and then discovered one of the valency depictions to represent a spherical orbit. To my surprise I was seeing Omhttps://pradipg-sahajayoga.blogspot.com/2023/07/two-types-of-meditation.html in the C atom model when I viewed it from the left side elevation. When I viewed it from

the right side elevation, I was seeing a Swastika is the two dimensional representation of the three dimensional sign Om . Lord Ganesha and Aum represent the sound of creation and it is represented in C atom, three dimensionally with a symbol of Om which in a two dimensional representation appears as a Swastika

Kundalini , Vibrations and Self Realisation

 

Kundalini, Vibrations and Self Realization

Kundalini is the power of pure desire within us, a motherly and soothing spiritual energy which lies dormant at the base of the spine in the sacrum bone (the ancient civilizations knew that in this bone resides a sacred energy).

Self Realization is the awakening of the Kundalini through the central channel, piercing through the six chakras above the sacrum bone and emerging at the top of the head (fontanelle bone area) as a gentle "fountain" of coolness. The word fontanelle itself means "little fountain" which shows again the ancient knowledge about this phenomenon of Self Realization.

Self Realization has always been the ultimate goal of all religions and spiritual traditions of the world, but was extremely difficult to attain in the past. It has now become a mass phenomenon achieved effortlessly through Sahaja Yoga, which is Shri Mataji's invaluable gift to humanity.

In Shri Mataji's own words, "Self Realization is the first encounter with Reality". "We have the Mother within ourselves, in our hearts, and if She is awakened, She is going to look after us. She is going to give all the protection that is needed. And there is nothing to be frightened of anything."

"Kundalini cures you, she improves you, she bestows all the blissful things upon you. She takes you away from the worries of the grosser level", says Shri Mataji.

The manifestation of the Kundalini energy is called vibrations, which is an approximate translation of the Sanskrit term Chaitanya. In Shri Mataji's words, "Chaitanya (vibrations) is the integrated force of your physiological, mental, emotional and religious Selves."

The picture at the top of this page is one of the many "miracle photographs". It shows the Kundalini energy emerging from Mother Earth, near Shri Mataji's residence during a visit to Russia.

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
