Sahajayoga by women - Grihalakshmi

 

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi ji has given very beautiful and practical guidance for those women who, due to household responsibilities or social reasons, are unable to step बाहर of their homes.  

Based on Sahaja Yoga discourses, here are Mother’s main suggestions:

### 1. Recognize the Power of the Grihalakshmi  

Shri Mataji used to say that a woman is the **“Grihalakshmi”** (the auspicious energy of the home). If you are balanced and joyful within the home, your state influences the entire family. Mother said that when you awaken your inner power (Kundalini) through meditation, such attraction and peace develop in your personality that family members gradually begin to respect what you say.

### 2. Creating a Path with Love and Patience  

Mother always taught that there is no need to struggle or argue to step outside.  

* **Tolerance:** Mother said that even the hardest heart can be won with love and affection.  

* **Balance:** Fulfill your household duties so skillfully that no one has any complaints. When family members see that Sahaja Yoga has made you calmer, happier, and more efficient, they will themselves encourage you to go out.

### 3. Making the Home Itself a Center  

Shri Mataji showed a wonderful path for women who cannot go outside:  

* **Programs at Home:** Mother said, “If you cannot go out, bring Sahaja Yoga into your home.” You can invite neighboring women or your friends over for tea or satsang and give them Self-Realization.  

* In this way, your home itself becomes a “meditation center,” and you won’t feel the need to go outside.

### 4. Connection through Collective Consciousness  

In today’s time, this teaching of Mother has become even easier through technology. Mother always emphasized **collectivity**. Even if you cannot go out physically, stay connected with other Sahaja Yoginis through phone or internet. Giving vibrations to each other and joining collective meditation gives you, even while at home, the same strength that you would get by going outside.

### 5. Pure Desire and Prayer  

Mother said that if you have a **“pure desire”** to do the work of the Divine or to be in collectivity, then the whole of nature creates a path for you.  

* Pray to Mother: *“Mother, please create such circumstances for me that I may enjoy collectivity.”*  

* Regularly take **bandhan** and use vibrations to remove your obstacles.

**Conclusion:**  

Shri Mataji’s main message was that, while remaining within your **values** and **traditions**, and without any conflict, you should gradually transform the hearts of your family. When your devotion deepens, the doors to step outside will open on their own.
