When Shri Adi Shakti commanded the Five Elements

 

When Shri Adi Shakti commanded the five elements.*

This incident dates back to July 1977. It was a period when Shri Mataji had begun sowing the seeds of Sahaja Yoga outside India, especially in Western countries.

In 1974, Shri Mataji’s husband, C.P. Srivastava Ji, was elected Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in London. After that, Shri Mataji’s visits to London became more frequent, and she began giving Self-Realization to seekers there.

This incident took place in Surrey, a county in England located southwest of London. At that time, Shri Mataji would stay at the house in Brompton Square, London, or travel to the rural areas of Surrey for small programs and meditation camps.

During these journeys, a small group of early Western Sahaja Yogis would accompany Shri Mataji in the car. These were mainly the initial practitioners from London who, on this occasion, were returning with Shri Mataji from a small meditation session.

*(These eyewitnesses later mentioned this incident exactly as it happened in Sahaja Yoga memoirs and books.)*

In the month of July, the weather in England suddenly changed and a terrible summer thunderstorm arrived. The rain was so heavy that the car’s wipers were completely ineffective, and nothing could be seen through the windshield.

The surrounding trees were swaying violently in the wind, and thunder was crashing. For the practitioner driving the car, moving forward had become almost impossible and life-threatening.

All of us practitioners sitting in the car were frightened. Then Shri Mataji, with complete calmness, asked that the car be stopped at the side of the road. She looked toward nature and raised her right hand toward the sky. She commanded the elements of nature (the five great elements) to become calm.

Instantly, all of us practitioners saw that as soon as Shri Mataji raised her hand, the dark clouds directly above her car and within a radius of a few meters around it immediately dispersed, and bright sunshine appeared under a blue sky.

The most astonishing thing was that this was not an ordinary change in the weather. A “protective shield” or “circle of light” had formed directly above the car.

As the car moved forward, that circle of clear sky and sunshine moved along with it, while just outside that circle (only a few feet away), the violent storm and torrential rain continued unabated.

All of us practitioners were amazed by this unbelievable sight and were silently offering our gratitude to Shri Mataji. Again and again, only one thought arose from our hearts...

Shri Mataji is the living embodiment of Shri Adi Shakti, and she can do anything.

Victory to Shri Mataji.
