Enjoy peace and happiness- Swadhisthan chakra

Every human being desires to be happy, contended and enjoy the life in that manner. But is it possible? Yes . Why not? It all depends upon you. Whether you really want to enjoy peaceful life or not. You can enjoy it by making some changes in your life style, in your habits, by changing your thinking process.

There are seven chakra in our body. The second one called - Swadhishtan chakra is very important in Kaliyuga. It all affects our thinking process, or wishes, our ambitions, our plans and our getting involved in the race of life and running at fast pace without paying attention to its consequences. Initially in the process our body and mind may respond well and may also be capable of adjusting with the speed, but when you cross the limit, then it cracks , and some symptoms, syndroms associated with it reflect in some form of diseases, ailment in you. So you have to watch carefully why and how much we running, what is our aim, how long we have to go, whether we want to enjoy life and peace or not and all such things.

In one lecture on the occasion of Navaratri Puja i at Sydney in October 2007 Mataji had given very useful advice to all of us in this regard. Following is the extract of her speech on the occasion.

Navaratri 2007 - Second Night

Very nice to see you all so happy here. Today is the second day and is a very important day from the point of evolution. As you know that our second chakra is very important. That's why today is very important. So what is the second chakra? Do you know which one is the second chakra?

Ah? What did they say? You must tell loudly. Swadisthan is the chakra, is very important because in this Kali Yuga, Swadisthana works the most. We have so many agents to make it work and work very hard. You know what is in second chakra. In the second chakra what happens that we are caught up by our ambition and the ambition makes you run up and down, and I've seen many Sahaja Yogis also getting lost, so it's a very important day for all of you.

So second chakra is important because in modern times it is very, very cosmic as well as active. We become very active, over active, and we start thinking about everyone with whom we are not concerned and bothering our heads. So today's chakra is important because it bothers your head, it troubles you a lot and you start thinking about them. You start thinking what have you said, what has happened, who is angry, all sorts of nonsense. You are all Sahaja yogis, so you shouldn't worry as to all these people, what they say, what they are doing. You should just enjoy yourself. Second chakra you must enjoy. That's the best way to enjoy Sahaja Yoga. Where your Swadisthana is satisfied nothing can destroy you or disturb you. At Swadisthana you can really look after; Swadisthan Chakra is so much good for you because now you are Sahaja Yogis and you can master it. That is one chakra which upsets, especially in the West people think too much, all the time thinking, thinking, thinking. That's from Swadisthan, you get that problem from Swadisthan.

To satisfy Swadisthan, you have to take to silence. You have to take to quietude and look at yourself. What is bothering you, what is troubling you, what gives you ideas and thoughts is Swadisthan. And some people think so much. There may not be any problem, but they create their own problem with the Swadisthana and just go on bothering about the stuff.

Swadisthan is very happy when you are just laughing and enjoying and not bothered about nonsense. How much time we waste on nonsense! We don't need it, Sahaja Yogis don't need it. It's only those who are not yet realized must be suffering. They do suffer and they might even trouble you, but just laugh at it and you must pardon them, forgive them, because they are doing this because they can't help it. You see, this Swadisthan Chakra is bothering them so they can't help it. ...

So now, don't allow your mind to bother about whatever nonsensical thoughts are coming - all kinds of, all kinds of nonsensical thoughts. You have nothing to do with them, but the thoughts are coming Now, this is the work of Mister Swadisthan. He's trying to distract you, you must get into silence. Once you get into silence, then he will go away and don't bother you.

My all attention is on your country because you're very good Sahaja Yogis. We have had Sahaja Yogis all over the world, you know in thousands they are, but nothing like Australian, I see. Because they are somehow or other very deeply touched and bothered about the world problems. So what you have to think now: not to have anything to do with Swadisthan, but what you have to become is you are Sahaja Yogis and no Swadisthan should bother you.

So there was ...I never knew that you were all here, now only they told me that you were all here. They said, "Only a few people are there." I said, "All right." Ah? How many? You have counted them?

Now, very sweet, Australia is really great to have beautiful children like this. And people care for children. That is first thing you must do is to care for your children. That is fighting your Swadisthan. Anything bothers you, you worry about you own children, finished. You have to bother about them and everything will work out. ...

You are definitely blessed because you are not falling to the whims of your Swadisthan. Definitely, and that is the chakra of your country also. So it makes you run up and down and think and think and think. Specially all the Sahaja Yogis have this problem. So you should just think that you are sitting on Swadisthan and you have to ride it, not to be ridden by it. All right?

I'm so proud of you people from this country have shown path to the rest of the world how can you be united and to be one. It's rather very surprising. In other countries the problem is different. Your country is the problem of Swadisthana as I said today, but you people have conquered it. When I came first year I found everybody's head moving with the Swadisthana. Then they became silent and very peaceful and now I see you all and I'm very happy because that's gone now, all that nonsense is finished. And there is nothing bothers you.

The root of all diseases is Swadisthan, it comes from there. So you should know not to play into hands of Swadisthan and go into thinking, thinking, thinking. They go on thinking, I mean something that doesn't exist, they go on thinking. So any such thought comes in you said, "We don't want to think," finished. I'm there to think for you, you don't think. If you have any problem, you let Me know, but you don't think. What you can do, you can write it down and send the problems to Me and I would like to see it. All right?

And then Swadisthana is chakra of your country, that is the second chakra and is here. And you'll be amazed to know that Sahaja Yogis there are from every country, but Australian ones are something special. They have very great faith in themselves. They do not go to wrong ideas. I've seen that, and I am very much thankful to you for that. ...

Overcome drug addiction

In reality any kind of addiction is worst and so drug addiction. People loose all control, everything they have, they are separated from their families , society and what not. Even though highy educated, scholars, intelligents sometime become victim of drugs.

Can it be stopped. Can they be improved. They are horrible people, can they be brought back to normal life - The anwer is Yes. How can it happen? With the Sahajayoga. But how? With self enlightment.

Sahajayoga provides key to self knowledge, development from within, awakening of Kundalini, lighting the flame within which show you what is right and wrong and when you realise it, you give up wrong things. The root lies in self realisation - it can free you from any kind of addiction, bad habits, vulgar nature, anything which is considered socially condemnable.

Kindly read with interest- the extracts of lecture given by Mataji Nirmaladevi at Vancouver,Canada in l990.

Question: You talk about our habits and weakness and how to overcome that. Can You talk a little bit more about it?

Shri Mataji: See, we are weak because we are ignorant first of all. As I told you, we are holding the snake and there’s darkness and in that darkness we don’t see that this is going to bite us. But, when you become enlightened, you become a very powerful, dynamic person, absolutely. And you separate yourself from your habits. You see it very clearly. Then you don’t talk that “I have this habit or that habit.” You don’t say like that.

Like a person would come and say, “Mother, you know, my Agnya is catching; this chakra is catching. That means I have too much ego.”

But they don’t say, “I have ego.” I mean if you tell somebody, “You have ego,” they’ll hit you hard, isn’t it? But if a person gets it, he feels it. And he says, “Mother, I have too much problem with the Agnya Chakra so please clear it up.”

So, if you have any habits – say supposing there are people who used to take drugs. In the beginning I had horrible people in England, about seven of them, all drug addicts and things. Of course, very well-educated, professors and things, but all drug addicts, hippies and violent people, really. When they came to Me, it was not easy to handle them. But they are today the foundation of Sahaja Yoga. Wonderful people they are. Now what happened, they said, “We want to get rid of it but we can’t. We just can’t help it.”

But you will be amazed, overnight they gave up, overnight. Just it happens because you see the light and you throw the snake, just happens. You don’t have to think about it, just happens. I never tell them these Ten Commandments – don’t do this, don’t do that. Don’t tell them. Just it works from within. Why should I tell them? Why should I give them a lecture? There’s no need. They themselves become their own master and the mastery is that the master cures and gives you powers. You develop that dignity; it’s remarkable what happens. To Me, it’s not a surprise because I know what you are. You are so glorious.

It’s like you take a small little, say a television to a remote corner of India and in some village and show them and say that “Here is a place, this box will show you all the kinds of music and all kinds of dramas and this.”

They say, “What? This box? How is it going to work out?”

And, you put it to the mains and it starts working and they say, “It’s fantastic.”

It’s like that. We are fantastic, we are glorious but we have yet to be connected, that’s all. It just happens, you don’t have to force yourself, you don’t have to do anything. It just works. The inner force works it out.

Devi Kavach

Devi means Godess- Mataji Nirmaladevi is the Godess- Mahalaxmi, Mahasaraswati and Mahakali all in one. The divine mother protects each of her child.

Kavach means a sort of protection. As Helmet is the protection for head while driving something of that sort, or something of the sort of bullet proof jacket worn by you.

Devi kavach - means the protection offered by the Divine Mother herself. When you surrender to the God, then you are in the kingdom of God. In that situation God takes care of you, protects you from all outside evil forces. So first basic requirement to get God's protection is to surrender completely. Surrending to Almighty is the best policy in life.

In Sahajayoga taking Bandhan is as good as availing benefit of Devi Kavach. Mataji has urged upon us all to take Bandhan all time, when you go out of home, when you are traveling, go for important work and such important things. It saves you from external forces. Mataji takes care of you; you are safeguarded by the divine power of deity- Mahamaya, Adishakti- Mataji Nirmaladevi.

Personal Experience - I submit this personal experience of mine which happened just yesterday. I was out of my home to bring back my son from his friend’s residence. Before going out of home, my inner voice was asking me take bandhan . It had never happened before. I was wondering why i am getting these kinds of signals.

I decided to follow my inner voice. I acted as per advice of awakened Kundalini. I just sat in front of photograph of Mataji Nirmaladevi, prayed her for a while and took bandhan. I was assured in mind that my journey would now be safe. To tell you the fact- While returning home from the residence of my son's friend, on road there was heavy traffic, it was evening time, and suddenly some car came very fast from the back and almost dashed me in front of my scooter. My son was on back side of my two-wheeler. It was a sudden accident or attack on me from external forces, totally unknown to me. But I am happy to declare that with the grace, blessings, security offered by Bandhan, by the power of Devi- Adishakti-, Nirmaladevi I escaped unhurt.

But for some time I had fear in my mind, my heart beat has risen etc. However Mataji has saved me and my son from a very grave situation. I acknowledge with thanks the power of Devi Kavach. The Power of Bandhans. The supporting and guiding and care-taking Mother of us all- Mataji Nirmaladevi.

Jai Shri Mataji.

relieve stress with Sahajayoga

Stress is the ailment of modern world. The life of even common man has undergone considerably change. Whether one likes or not, the changed circumstances around has direct,indirect impact on our personality, routine, life style and so many things. Today the life - each and every aspect has been grappled by competition, suspicion, financial uncertainty, cultural changes in society, and many things like these.

We naturally are bound to be under constant strain or stress under these circumstances. It starts even from early childhood- whether the child will get admission in best school, how would he fair in interview, how would he behave with others, will he be able to grasp and cope up with teaching etc. etc. So in short changing world has created new causes of tension, stress and strain.

After all what is Stress? It is a symptom, external indication that you are not o.k. You are suffering from fear, anxiety, curiosity etc. Try to find out why all this happens? The answer is very simple- We constantly try to relate ourself with either past or future, and both of these tendencies causes stress.

Past is gone, we have left it behind. We can hardly do anything about it at present moment. They why are we thinking about it, remembering all bad and good things, why remain in those historical events unnecessarily. It causes problems. Set aside the past, forget it completely. Never ponder over it or never try to relate it with present or future for drawing some conclusions,perhaps which may prove wrong in reality. If you want to relieve yourself from stress completely forget past.

Similarly the most common mistake we do in life is always thinking of future. Always planning somethings and getting disturbed when plans do not work accordingly. We must stop it. It is impossible to predict anything hundred percent correctly, because there is an very important element, i.e. Uncertainty. What role it will play, how much impact it will have, what factors will crop up at the eleventh hour- nobody knows. So I personally feel that the only certain thing in this world is Uncertainty . We have to fact it as it is when it occurs or presents itself in any form- thee is no excuse.

Then what is the key to stress- free life. Living in present. Enjoying the present. Concentrating on present- because it is going to build your future. It is the way to your future. If you do not just do anything in present and just think of future imagine what will happen. So do your work with sincerity in present, build yourself physically and mentally to withstand anything, have a positive attitude, never indulge in any wrong thing about which you will need to repent in future.

Sahajayoga Meditation is key to overcome stress, to remove stress, to lead peaceful life. How it happens ? It happens through Meditation . Sahajayoga Meditation is special technique, very easy to understand and follow. It is freely available all over the world through various centers and even various online sites and videos on You tube etc. Matajai Nirmaladevi, the living Godess, Adishakti, Adimaya has been extremely kind to the mankind to offer this technique of meditation. Practicing it result in balancing in your own body, various nadis and chakras which results in healthy body and mind. It does work of cleansing from within. It connects you to the Almighty, the divine power existing in you, of which you are unaware. When it happens there cannot be any problem for you, because the divine spirit winthin you is ready to guide you in every respect.

Then why not learn, know about Sahajayoga and practice it as early as possible.

Jai Shri Mataji.

Why allergies

Allergies are very common and highly troublesome . Any kind of disease in our body is the result of imbalance within us. Imbalance of right nabhi or left nabhi. Mataji Nirmaladevi has many times told that the allergies are caused due to over action or catching of person's left nabhi. It can be cured in Sahajayoga by meditation and cleansing process happening thereby within the body.

along with sahajayoga meditation one has also to control diet and lifestyle. One should not first take cold substance and then immediately hot content etc. e.g. person drinks cold water and then immediately drinks hot coffee. It is absolutely wrong- such habits leads to diseases like allergies.

For the information reproduced below are the extracts from the mataji's lectures and discussion with the yogis on allergies.

Q: I have had eczema for quite a long time. I’ve had it for quite a long time, [unclear] itching, almost drives a person to distraction, and it’s really hard to control.

Shri Mataji: I was telling you there is a liver problem. Are you going in for a liver treatment? And you should go on a diet. No fats, nothing, just a regular diet for liver and do that for a month. You see? Go for a liver treatment completely. [unclear] Now, liver diet is the best.

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is nothing else but the left side problem, is the lethargic liver and gives you allergies. For Psoriasis, left hand towards the photograph and right hand on the mother earth. Putting hot water bottle on the stomach or even giving bandhan to your liver with the light is all right.
You must see because Psoriasis, now people might think Psoriasis is active liver or inactive liver. You see it comes to that point. We have only two types, active or inactive. Now whether psoriasis is inactive or active we will know from one point that when the liver is inactive, you get the allergies and when it is active, you get other problems like nausea and also get biliousness. You don’t eat much, you thin down all these problems are there.

Question: Why does cow’s milk make allergies and eczema worse? “Cow’s milk. Left side. Cow’s milk always gives you the left side, because she is the Mother. And you should not have cow’s milk because it is the left side. Whether it is cow’s milk or buffalo’s milk, all will give you allergies, but if you have animals which are smaller than you, like if you can drink, like Mahatma Gandhi, goat’s milk, you might not have the problem.”
(Rahuri Q&A 13/1/1986)

“Most allergies are caused from cold to hot, ie. taking bath in cold water and then hot water. To take coffee and then immediately take cold water. This sudden change, the system cannot adjust to. In the left Nabhi area is the spleen. The spleen is a speedometer and also an adjuster. When it adjusts and it is not properly done due to sudden change, it causes problem. So it has to suddenly provide its energies to either increase or decrease the flow of the red blood corpuscles. That’s how the spleen goes crazy.”
(Shivaratri 1987)

Marriages arranged in Sahajayoga

Marriage is an exciting, important,life-changing event in the life of the concerned person. It is a relationship, bond of love,sacrifice,togetherness,mutual faith and respect between husband and wife. The success of marriages has great implications on life- like peace of mind, companionship, upbringing of children, family culture and so many other related things.

The world today is witnessing the breaking of marriages- very bad and sad thing. The reasons may be many - but basically ego problem, economic crisis, addiction to alcohol, extra marital relationship and so many such other things. Increasing rate of divorces is a alarming signal for the society.

The people practicing sahajayoga have unique opportunity to select life partner,compatible to their own personality. Many of the young sahajayogis ,mostly from western countries, asked help of Mataji Nirmaladevi to find out appropriate life partner, so as to lead peaceful, satisfied,cultured life after marriage. Mataji, being the loving and caring mother of us all, acceeded to the requests and provided platform for selection of right kind of life partner.

Various sahajayoga international seminars provides opportunity to those who desire to select life partner through this process. Mataji Nirmaladevi herself decides the partners based on the knowledge of their personal vibrations, checking subtle systems of the persons. The Adishakti, Adimaya can never fail in making right decision in this regard.

However, there is no compulsion for accepting that decision. People are free to decide their own way. If they agree, they can move forward. and getting further knowing each others over a period can proceed further to get married. Very few young men and women are lucky to get themself belessed by Mataji Nirmaladevi herself. Marriages are arranged in Sahajayoga traditions, bride and groom take vow to follow sahajayoga and accept and respect each other maintaining the sanctity of marriage. The great news is that the rate of divorce in such kind of marriages is very low.

I personally feel that by making prayer to Mataji and using the power of vibrations one can come to the right conclusion of selection of life partner. It further needs to be further examined in details with personal dialogue,meetings, enquiries , references etc. and then decision may be taken about fixing marriages.

May all be blessed by Mataji Nirmaladevi in their life for most successful marriages.
