Misunderstood Path of Yoga

Now I have to tell you about our own things, as it has been told that, what you have within is these powers. You’ll be amazed, all this was known long time back in our country but all that knowledge was finished because of the British rule, you can say, or the other rules that came in, that they didn’t care for all this. But there were group of people called as Nathpanthis, they knew this, that Kundalini awakening is the only way you can get your Self Realization. But the idea about Self Realization was so limited and was so absurd that people didn’t want to do it.

They said you have to give up your family, you have to give up your all, everything, yourhttps://pradipg-sahajayoga.blogspot.com/2025/06/the-power-of-devotees-tears.html property, everything. You have to become absolutely single. You should have nothing to do with your relations. All these funny ideas came into the heads of so many people who wanted to propagate their way of thinking. All such thinking has ruined actually the reality that exist within us, absolutely.

Because to say that you give up that and give up this and all this kind of a nonsensical ideas: doesn’t happen. You don’t give up. It’s all there, you just have a outward feeling that you have given it, say to your guru or to someone and that’s how all kinds of fraudulent things have started with this kind of a theory. You don’t have to give up anything, is the point.

That, just now as you are, this Kundalini exists within you. She is your Mother. She is your individual Mother. You are the only child She has and you don’t have to give up anything as such. Because She’s the one who looks after you. She is going to give your second birth. And when your mother gave you the second birth, did she trouble you? She took up all the trouble upon herself and she managed that you are born on this earth.

In the same way, for the second birth, as you call dwija, that is born twice, to be born again, there is a Mother already placed within you. She exist within you and She is the one who can give you Self Realization.

Adi Shankaracharya Already Spoke of Vibrations

 

Adi Shankaracharya Already Spoke of Vibrations

Adi Shankaracharya also wrote, and called it Spandh.  Spandh means the experiencing or feeling of Chaitanya (vibrations), which is within you.  The feeling of Chaitanya, which we call as Vibrations. That is Spandh.  Everyone speaking the same thing.  Even in foreign countries people have talked about this. 

But let the talk of books remain in the books.  And nowadays we don’t know what strange ideas affect the brain, and people do not want to understand what it is.  Why am I going on the wrong road; why am I troubling everyone;  why have I supported this wrong course of action….they don’t think about these things.  And what is the result of all this. Is that mankind has gone astray.  He has wandered into wrong paths. 

But by that he destroys himself, not others.  No harm to others.  Only harm to himself.  There are many roads to destruction.  You also know this, and you also have seen others going into their destruction.  Just by telling them, nothing can be achieved.  I have seen this.  If I tell them don’t do this, or don’t do that, half of the people will get up and go from here. 

But when your kundalini is awakened, you yourself will understand and become aware that this is wrong, it is harmful for us.  This is because, the light of your spirit rises from your heart and comes into your attention.  And every human being will understand, the one who is a realized soul, he will realize what is wrong and what is harmful, and why it is so urgent and necessary.  This is the speciality of your Self Realisation.  Where you can clearly understand what is good for you, and what is bad. 

And in addition to this, besides this, all the help of the Paramatma (God Almighty) is with you.  Because the energy of Divine Love is spread on all four sides.  Prem (love) this is a very important, strong and competent power with you. 

A very big capacity.  Such a great power exists within you.  This love is called Nirvaaj Prem, (unconditional love), where you do not expect anything, but just go deep down into the ocean of love. 

The language of love is something different.  The methods and practices of love are different.  The style and manners are grand.   Especially Sahaja Yogis have experienced this.  We think that such people are very rare.  Not at all.  There are lots of people who are gracious in love.  What a great thing is love. 

But speaking nicely to people seems to be difficult nowadays.  If you go further, then stealing each other’s things seems to be the order of the day.  And if you go another step further, then in the country all kinds of transgressions and tortures are being committed.  Those who cause destruction, disorder, depression and remorse, and things like that, are proliferating. 

Human beings were not born for this.  Human beings were born to know the Shakti, the power of that Paramatma, Almighty God; and experience and enjoy that power, and forever live in peace.  The best thing for spreading peace is, that there should be a reformation of man. 

Until and unless man does not change; until and unless this light shines within him, till then he will keep going astray.  He will continue to do this kind of misdeeds.  He will keep getting involved in these kind of things, in which he will not even know whether he is on the right path or not. 

That is why we should light the lamp within ourself.  When this lamp becomes enlightened, you will be able to understand everything easily, that what Shakti lies within us.  And how we can benefit from this Shakti.  This is the Shakti of Love. 

It is very superior, this Shakti of Love.  Not a shallow, superficial love, but very deep and profound; and flowing through, like the  ocean.  And with the help of that love, you will live in complete peace.  And you will give this joy to others as well.  This Great Shakti is within you, and I will only make this request, that you accept and respect this love.

Why Kundalini Awakening Stops Mental Reactions and Brings Absolute Truth

 

Now you work hard, you experience a lot of difficulties, and you do so many activities, but up till now you have not experienced the pure joy.  In joy there are no two things, like happiness or sadness.  It is only joy.  Pure joy.  Secondly you do not find the truth.  Yes, may be half here and half there.  But the truth, the absolute truth, has not been found. 

To experience that you have to get your Kundalini awakening.  That which causes your brain to react to everything, that will stop happening.  And when that stops, you get the connection with the all pervading divine energy which is around you. 

The most amazing thing is, that this great happening is so easy and comfortable.  There are no headaches or severe exercises to be done.  No need to stand on your head.  And, this is available to everyone in this world.  This is for the whole world.  Not just for you.  Not just for a few others.  But for the whole world.

Sahaja Yoga has spread over 86 countries, and those people are immersed in it.  Fully absorbed.  They are happy, and their lives have become meaningful and complete.  And in their lives there is a kind of peace and contentment. 

In every place, we must understand, where great religions have spread,   in every dharma it has been said that a day will come in which your transformation will take place.  In which you will attain a wonderful state.  And in the Koran it is written clearly that when Qayamat  (The Day of Resurrection) will come, your hands will speak. 

It is there today!  But if your hands are not speaking, then what is the use.  To achieve this, is the main purpose or objective of your life.  If you do not desire to do so, it is your wish.  If you do not wish to receive it, it is your wish.  But this thing can happen, and is happening.  In many countries it has happened.  And it should also happen in our country. 

So the turmoil and conflicts of this place, and seeing the unrest of every day, we should recognize and understand that we should attain this state, in which there is absolute peace, and absolute joy.  To achieve this you do not have to do anything.  I have already told you.  You don’t have to leave your homes or families.  Nothing to be done.  And, you have to receive this.

The problem with us, especially in Maharashtra, is that people have too much knowledge.  They have collected a big bundle of gods and goddesses in the house, and spend their time from morning till night, doing pujas, and this and that.  They have gone in that direction.  Or, they will do some other kind of activity.  This is the situation with Hindus, and also with the Muslims, and also the state of Christians. 

When, inspite of all these entanglements, nothing has been achieved, they should also look on the other side, that what is the thing I have to achieve.  By which I will be able to know myself.  And then that truth will dawn on us, in which there is only truth, and no falsehood.  We will come to know that.

The great scientist Einstein, in his papers, has talked about this.  And he has called it the “torsion area”.  And he has said that this realization of truth will come from the torsion area,  and it is necessary for you to get your connection with that truth. 

Until and unless you get this connection, whose praises are you singing in worship.  No one even knows you, and you are chanting their names.  Whatever you should be actualizing by this chanting, you will not achieve.  The real thing will only happen when you come into the reality.  And all the possible divine energy will pour into it. 

It is not a difficult task.  I have told you that if you practice Sahaja Yoga for a full month, then you will become your own guru.  And you yourself will be able to cure the diseases of others.  It is not necessary for you to go to any other place, or take help from others. 

This truth, no matter how many times it has been told, does not enter the attention of people.  This is very unfortunate.

How to begin Sahaja Yoga

 

How to Begin Sahaja Yoga

Sahaja Yoga, developed by Mata Nirmala Devi, is considered highly beneficial for mental and physical health. It primarily promotes self-realization, through which the Kundalini is awakened, bringing positive transformation to a person's personality.

*1: Sahaja Yoga*  

Sahaja Yoga was founded by Nirmala Srivastava, who is also known as *Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi*. Through Kundalini awakening and thoughtless awareness (Nirvichar Samadhi), Sahaja Yoga helps people attain self-realization and understand themselves better through inner peace. This yoga, developed by Mata Nirmala Devi, is regarded as highly beneficial for both mental and physical well-being.

*2: What is Sahaja Yoga?*  

In Sahaja Yoga, meditation is practiced while sitting in a comfortable posture. Those who practice it often experience a cool breeze from the top of the head to the hands during meditation. Sahaja Yoga is not just an exercise but also a technique. It primarily promotes self-realization, through which the Kundalini awakens and enhances an individual's personality.

*3: What Does Research Say?*  

Ramesh Manocha, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Sydney Medical School, found in his research on Sahaja Yoga that people who had practiced Sahaja Yoga for at least two years had better mental and physical health than the general population.

*4: Origin of the Word "Sahaj"*  

The word *Sahaj* is derived from two Sanskrit words: *Saha* and *Ja*. *Saha* means "together," and *Ja* means "born." When combined, the word conveys the idea of something natural or innate. Followers of Sahaja Yoga believe that it gives birth to the Kundalini within them and enables its spontaneous awakening. This slideshow explains the benefits of Sahaja Yoga.

*5: For General Health*  

Doctors have also described other effects of Sahaja Yoga. According to them, practicing this yoga helps relieve physical and mental stress and promotes relaxation. It is also believed to help eliminate the root causes of various illnesses.

*6: Beneficial in Diseases*  

According to researchers, this process of silence opens many pathways to physical and mental well-being. Regular practice of Sahaja Yoga has also benefited people suffering from cancer, high blood pressure, hypertension, and heart disease.

*7: Beneficial for Students*  

Especially for students, yoga is like nectar. Students who regularly include yoga in their lives not only excel academically but also outperform others in various extracurricular activities.

*8: Relief from Stress*  

Sahaja Yoga strengthens the mind. It helps individuals manage stress, overcome daily fatigue, and control anger. It also contributes to better sleep.

*9: Concentration*  

Sahaja Yoga improves concentration, enabling people to achieve their goals more easily. Therefore, make Sahaja Yoga a regular part of your daily routine.

*10: Communication Skills*  

Regular practice of Sahaja Yoga improves communication skills, helping you interact with others more effectively and build better relationships.

*11: Freedom from Bad Habits/Addictions*  

Harmful habits and addictions such as smoking and drinking alcohol are detrimental to both mental and physical health. Practices like Sahaja Yoga have proven to be effective in helping people overcome such habits.

Experience the Joy of God Within

 

You cannot reach God through the intellect. The attention (chitta) can become one-pointed only through the attainment of Self-realization. However, even a person who is Self-realized from birth must make personal effort for this. Your attention is so restless that it cannot concentrate on anything. I think this is the biggest problem. That is why even gurus are being bought and sold. We too are unable to practice Sahaja Yoga in a focused way. The attention has become unstable and is scattered everywhere, unable to attain any depth or height. If all of you stay together, the work will be accomplished. So, to concentrate your attention, clear out the rubbish. There is great beauty within you—allow it to become steady.

..........You should take pride in this nature. Then this beauty will manifest, and you will feel something like the gentle ripples of a lake within yourself. You will be able to experience the joy of God within you. No mental activity can make you feel this. You cannot reach God through the intellect."

Sahaj Yoga Meditation 

**The Turiya State**

.........We live in three states. In the waking state, our attention wanders here and there, and we spoil our attention. The second state is when we sleep. Even while sleeping, thoughts of our past and other random things come to us. Then we go into a deeper sleep, called *Sushupti* (deep sleep). In this state, you are in deep sleep and have dreams, which may even come true. You may even dream about Me. This is the divine part of the unconscious, where beautiful information is conveyed. For example, suppose I am going to come to Italy, and the people there come to know about it in the *Sushupti* state.

........But the fourth state is called the *Turiya* state. There are two more states. You are in the *Turiya* state, in which you remain in thoughtless awareness. When there is no thought—just think about it—when there is no thought, you have to become innocent; you have to know the Consciousness. You cannot remain attached to anyone. So this state of thoughtless awareness in which you are is the *Turiya* state. In this state, these four petals that are within you must open in your Sahasrara. They extend from your heart to your brain. Then you will truly understand what God is. This is the time when you receive true knowledge.

Christ and Ganesha - Divine Principles and Subtle Forces

 

Christ and Ganesha – Divine Principles and Subtle Forces for our Innocence

“In the same way, when human beings look at anything they put attention to it, there is always a reaction that comes to you. Now according to Christ we have to have non-adulterous eyes, there should be no adultery. The word adultery in the pure sense is not so bad. Adultery means there should not be any mixture of what it exists, simple as that. When we say there is adulteration in the milk, we mean that it’s not purely milk but there’s something else in it. So when you look at things, say this is a wall, a wall is a wall that’s all, what is there to think about ? But a person who is not a realized soul will immediately start thinking about a wall even. Now depending upon the conditioning of a person, if a person is a very perverted soul, I don’t know what he would think of the wall because I can’t go to every limit of thinking also-I’m sorry I have certain limitations. But a person who is say a normal person, also may start thinking about the wall, how much it will cost and what will happen and this and that and all sorts of conditionings according to the money point of view, if he is money oriented. If he is ego oriented, then his thoughts would go reacting that same way. This is the adulteration, that when you look at things there is nothing to think about-what is there to think ? Whatever is, it is, but we think that by thinking we solve the problems.

 Also this kind of a myth exists among human beings, that when you look at something or you think about something then you solve the problem. It’s not true. It’s a myth, because thinking is just an empty process of the mind. It’s like a wave passing toward the shore and thinks that it can just engulf it or dissolve it completely. So the thought is just an empty vessel which carries nothing. It cannot do anything, it cannot bring forth any fruit whatsoever. Sometimes this statement might look very big and you might think how can that be Mother, we’ve done so much by thinking and this and that. But you’ve not, whatever you have done is through spontaneity because the Unconscious has helped you, has given you the ideas, the inspiration, you have done everything through inspiration and not by your own thinking. Now there we do not want to agree, because we have to give up our ego because we think we have achieved it through our thinking. But when you think too much, too much, too much, like that, then what happens ? The Unconscious gives you the necessary information, because it has compassion, it has love for you and suddenly you find something there. You are just pushed into that corner where you find it. And for this you must know it is Einstein is the person who says that the theory of relativity dawned upon him from somewhere unknown, because whatever is known is already there. And whatever is unknown you cannot find out by this brain which is thinking, but by the brain which is enlightened.

Now when He said, “Thou shalt not have adulterous eyes”, of course the adultery as we understand, is that we should not have lust in our eyes. But I would go still further to say that our attention has to be so pure that we should not have any idea of return coming to us from a particular thing, but just enjoying it, just the Joy part of it. If I see a beautiful thing, then I am just enjoying it, not that I should possess it, nor should I think about it, nor do I need that I should repeat it. Just enjoy it as it is. Maybe if you just enjoy it you will just create it again. That’s the capacity one should have of purification.”

“So, sometimes people think that Sahaja Yoga is a very Victorian sort of a System in which you can’t lead a life like this and the freedom we have achieved and the abandonment we have achieved we cannot enjoy in Sahaja Yoga. But this Virtue or this righteousness that we have condemned so far, is really the sustainer of life, is our quality, is our gold, is our wealth, is our property, is our security which we have lost, and we have to just again have a cleansing. It is there because if it is fundamentally eternal! It cannot be lost, it cannot be permanently destroyed. It is like you have seen a brass metal or something like that, which gets covered with atmosphere, is black, red, yellow, every sort of a color and ruined. But again you polish it out, it comes back to it. But if it is gold, it is untarnishable, but if gold is allowed to rust in the dirty gutter or something, you cannot see it, it is covered with all kinds of things and you think it is just finished now, it’s not there… (but )It exists all the time, our Innocence exists within us. It’s not lost, it’s there, only it’s covered. Just like the sky can be covered with clouds, it is covered now because of the atmosphere, because of the way we try to dent it and do all kinds of things to it. That’s why I say don’t feel guilty, because if you feel guilty then you have a hand which is weak, a mind which is weak, a mind which is wobbly, and then you don’t want to cleanse yourself. But it exists all the time within us, untarnishable it exists within. You have to just get to it.”

How to Reduce Negativity

 

Negativity within yourself (negative thoughts, anger, jealousy, fear, and despair) can be reduced gradually. To do this, adopt these simple practices:

1. Practice meditation every day – Sitting quietly for 10–15 minutes in the morning and evening helps calm the mind.

2. Learn to forgive – Holding on to others' mistakes weighs the mind down. Forgiveness brings a sense of inner lightness.

3. Keep positive company – Spend time with people who inspire you rather than those who constantly complain.

4. Practice gratitude – Every day, give thanks for three things you have received.

5. Read uplifting literature and listen to devotional songs – The mind gradually becomes like what it repeatedly listens to.

6. Cultivate an attitude of service and love – Selfless service helps reduce negativity in the mind.

7. Observe your thoughts – Whenever a negative thought arises, catch it and ask yourself: "Is this really useful for me?" If not, let it go.

If you follow the teachings of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, then according to her, Kundalini awakening and regular Sahaja Yoga meditation purify the consciousness, and negative impressions gradually begin to disappear.

 "When the mind becomes connected to the light of the Divine, negativity naturally vanishes like darkness."
