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.

Ways and Methods to Improve Your VIBRATIONS

 

There are ways and methods to improve your vibrations.

For people who suffer from ego, I think best thing is to put your hands into the ice, right hand, may be. It may work out. Try it! But don’t prepare! Just push your hands into ice sometimes. It may work out. And for people who suffer from superego, little bit burning your hand on the candle may help. Just try!

Because the hands are not sensitive. So there is a heat or a cool too much. Either you are a frozen personality or you are a heated personality, you are not in the centre. So if you are a frozen personality, better melt it a little bit, try! I never said this before because half of you would have run away if I had said this! But don’t burn it to have blisters I am saying! Just a little bit, try to see that, if you burn your finger the sensitivity will improve. But someone is thinking just now that, “If you have both the problems, what do you do?” (laughter)

There are permutations and combinations because if you get out of your ego you have a big superego that comes up, and if you get after your superego the ego comes up. There then, the attention has to be brought here [Mother puts Her palm on Her Brahmarandhra]. And Sahaja Yogis know what it is, here to keep attention here. If you can keep your attention here, then you are above this, and if something drops out it drops out forever because you are standing here....

Nobody should feel higher because they are feeling vibrations or nobody should feel lower because they are not feeling vibrations. But if somebody tries to help you, don’t feel bad....

That doesn’t mean now [that] all of you should buy a bucket of ice and put your hands into it. You see this is the trouble with human beings, you tell them anything and you find them sitting with a bucket in the hand! (laughter) No, I’m just saying ‘try’. You see, because, you must know, I have no problems. All right?

You are all individuals, you are all professionals, you are research scholars. Keep your mind open and try and find out if it helps you. Every individual has individual problems. All these little, little problems you can solve yourself, because you have the light. You have the light of vibrations, the Spirit is with you, so you are independent.

I just give you guidelines, that doesn’t mean that you every day have a vision! No, horrible it is! But it has helped some people. May not be for everyone, this may suit or may not suit. But for left-sided people is better, I have seen.

It's all "Okay"

 

Don’t know who needs to hear this But,

It's okay to be an honest person.

Those who take advantage of you because of that will one day answer to "Her."

It's okay to ask for help.

We all need it at some point in our lives.

It's okay to be an average student or performer.

You came into this world to live, not to win.

It's okay to cry.

It simply means you are someone who feels.

It's okay to quit and start again.

Sometimes, endings are what make new beginnings possible.

It's okay to take care of yourself.

In the end, you will be alone when you go to “her”.

It's okay to take the first step and fail.

That is how you learn, try again, and reach your destination.

It's okay to tell someone you love them.

Love is one of the most beautiful feelings we can experience in this world.

It's okay to feel anger toward those who harm humanity.

It's okay to be vocal against everything that is anti-human, anti-nature, anti-God, and anti-truth.

It's okay not to know everything,It's just okay.

Yes, It's all "Okay"

And it's okay to believe that "Shrimataji" is Everything.

Because, in the end,

that is the Ultimate Truth

How to Do Sahaja Yoga Meditation at Home (Step by Step)*

If for some reason it is not possible to go to a center, we can also receive Self-Realization while sitting at home. Through this, we can experience the divine vibrations received through Sahaja Yoga, and with regular meditation, we can also attain greater depth. So let us understand the meditation process step by step. First, choose a quiet room in your home and sit comfortably on the floor or on a chair.

We should place a photograph of Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in front of us. If a photograph is not available, you may look carefully at an image of Mother on your mobile phone once and then close your eyes. Invoke the Adi Shakti (Shri Mataji) in your heart and pray, “O Revered Shri Mataji, please come into my heart. Mother, I wish to attain Self-Realization. Mother, please bless me and grant me my Self-Realization.”

Focus your attention on the very top of your head (the fontanel area), which in the language of yoga is called the Sahasrara. If too many thoughts arise, pay attention to the breathing process; hold your breath for a few moments and the thoughts will also stop. Understand the meditation steps properly before beginning the meditation. During meditation, pay attention to the position of both palms. Divine vibrations can be felt in the palms and at the fontanel area of the head.

*The meditation steps are as follows:*

1) Keep the left hand open in your lap. Place your right hand on your heart and pray, “O Revered Shri Mataji, in Your infinite grace, I am a pure soul.” (Repeat this seven times.) Keeping the hand in the same position, meditate on the heart for a few moments.

2) Place the right hand on the earth and pray, “O Revered Shri Mataji, please draw all obstacles from my left side into the earth element. Please bring balance to my left channel.” Keeping the hand in the same position, meditate for a few moments.

3) Bend the left arm at the elbow and raise it toward the sky. Keep the right hand open in the lap. Pray, “O Revered Shri Mataji, please draw all obstacles from my right side into the sky element. Please cleanse my right channel.” Meditate in this position for a few moments.

4) Place the right hand on your forehead and respectfully bow your head forward. Pray, “O Revered Shri Mataji, I have forgiven everyone, and I have forgiven myself as well.” Meditate in this state for some time.

5) Place your right hand on the top of your head at the fontanel area. Pray, “O Revered Shri Mataji, please grant us our Self-Realization.” While moving the palm in a circular motion over the fontanel area, repeat this prayer seven times. Move the hand up and down over the fontanel area once or twice and try to feel the vibrations. Gently place both palms in your lap facing upward.

Try to experience a cool breeze (divine vibrations) on your palms or above your head. Do not think about anything (thoughtless awareness). Simply remain peaceful and feel this divine love (supreme energy). The experience of Sahaja Yoga is best in collective meditation.

According to Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, the founder of Sahaja Yoga, true education and knowledge are not limited to bookish learning alone; rather, they are a means for a person's spiritual upliftment, balance, and character building. In her thoughts (Anmol Vichar), knowledge means Self-Realization and a balance between intellect and the heart.

Here are Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi’s main inspirational thoughts on Education and Knowledge:

📘 Thoughts on True Education (Anmol Vichar on Education)

Shri Mataji advocated for an “Enlightened Education” for children and young people:

Character Building: Merely being literate is not enough. If education cannot build a strong and pure character, it has no real value.

Balanced Development: Education should not remain limited to the intellectual level alone; it should also nurture a child’s mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

An Atmosphere of Love: Children should be raised and educated in an environment that is free from fear, spiritually nourishing, and filled with love.

Connection with Nature: True education teaches children to respect Mother Earth, plants, and natural resources.

Values and Discipline: The foundation of discipline in children should be based on love and respect, not on pressure or force.

💡 Thoughts on True Knowledge (Anmol Vichar on Knowledge/Vidya)

According to the principles of Sahaja Yoga, “Nirmal Vidya” or true knowledge is that which transforms a person from within:

Sahaja Library

Wisdom and Intelligence: True knowledge does not operate solely through rationality. Wisdom is the balance (fulcrum) between our heart (emotions) and mind (reason)

Experience Extraordinary Peace and Deep Inner Joy and Stability

 

In Sahaja Yoga, when our chakras remain purified and balanced, an extraordinary peace begins to emerge from within.  

Especially when the Heart Chakra, Agnya Chakra, and Sahasrara are cleansed, a person experiences deep inner joy and stability.  

When the Heart Chakra becomes pure, fear, insecurity, and restlessness begin to fade from the mind.  

Love, compassion, and self-confidence awaken in the heart.  

It feels as though some divine power within is supporting us and providing protection in every situation.  

This is where the flow of true peace begins.  

When the Agnya Chakra becomes clear, the burden of thoughts gradually starts to decrease.  

The mind learns to forgive, and anger, ego, and old sorrows begin to dissolve.  

When we forgive everyone from the heart, a beautiful state of thoughtless awareness manifests within, where only peace and silence are experienced.  

After this, when the Sahasrara Chakra opens, the seeker’s connection begins to directly unite with the divine power of the Supreme.  

At that time, cool vibrations of Chaitanya are felt during meditation, and deep inner bliss starts awakening.  

This peace does not depend on external circumstances; rather, it is a divine peace arising from the soul itself.  

Shri Mataji had explained that true peace is not found by searching outside, but awakens within through the purity of one’s chakras, meditation, and surrender to the Divine.  

When a person’s heart becomes pure, the divine power of the Supreme naturally begins to flow through their life, and their life becomes filled with joy.
