Shoe beating for discarding Negativity.

Shoe Beating:

Sahajayoga is mainly associated with cleansing of body and mind .

One of the way advised to geat rid of negativity by Mataji Nirmaladevi is Shoe Beating. 

 This Technique, taught by Mohammed, is used tocombat the ego.

This is an ancient 'cleansing' technique from Islam, used by Sufis to offer negativity or evil to the Mother Earth. It entails drawing a circle on the ground with the index finger and symbolically writing into the circle, something that is of concern. Then removing ones left shoe, the circle is 'hammered' gently with the heel of the shoe.

This in no way presupposes an outcome to the problem, but is a way of surrendering it to Mother Earth, to be dealt with in the best possible way for all concerned.

First you have to draw a circle with your right hand finger on the ground in front of you. Then write the name of person, or problem or thing which you want to be treated with shoe beating.  Then give bandhan seven times to the cirle in front of you. 

Now take the left shoe, and whilst putting your attention to the sky, beat the thing that you have writtenon the ground 108 times with the heal of your shoe. There is no need to useShoe Beating:

Now take the left shoe, andwhilst putting your attention to the sky, beat the thing that you have writtenon the ground 108 times with the heal of your shoe. There is no need to useexessive force or make a racket. When complete you can do the same for any

other negativities that are attacking yourself or another person, or any other problems requiring improvement. When completed, remember to finish with a shoebeat of yourself once more. Finish by raising Kundalini and putting yourself in bandhan.

Shoebeating is to be done regularly on a daily basis, and may be done even more often for difficult or intractable problems.

 Ganesha  - Lord of Muladhara Chakra

Ganesh Festival is the important festival of hindus.  Particularly in Maharashtra state of India and the Pune city it is celebrated on a very large scale.  Ganesh Festival of Pune is well known world event now.

The festival starts from today the Ganesh chaturdhi and lasts for ten days.  Therefore it is well in order to know about Lord Ganesha and the Mooladhar chakra in our body.  Sahaja yogis all over the world knows it well.

In practice of yoga, people come to know about various chakras  present in our Body.  Chakras represents the energy centers in body ,  There are seven chakras in our body, from the base of our spine  ending at the crown of the head.  Muladhar chakra is the first one and Sahastrar is the last. Muladhar is the root chakra in our body. It is symbolized by a red, four-petaled lotus with a yellow square at its center. Muladhar chakra monitors and infouence the energy of the body part near its location  like the reproductive organs, excretory system , pancreas, lymphatic system, glands etc.

Each chakra in our body governs a particular area and is also associated with particular deities.   When the chakras open , then flows  energy which facilitates balanced and healthy life of human being.  Kundalini resides in the Muladhar chakra in the dormant state.  It needs to be activated.  In ancient time only few Rishis knew about it. In ancient years very rarely with years of practice of yoga and dhyana could  activate the mooladhar chakra.

 But now for the benefit of all human beings, mataji Nirmaladevi has activated the kundalini of lakhs of people all over the world, irrespective of age, caste, color, nation or sex.  Mataji, the incarnation of Adi Shakti is very to all human beings in this world.  Mataji had been doing this work till completely freely all her life and even today this work is done freely by Sahaja Yogis.

Lord Ganesha the foremost important diety of hindu religion governs the Mooladhar chakra.  This chakra is also associated with element of earth in our body.  Lord Ganesh is having elephant head, human body and big belly.  His work is to clear obstacles.  For uninterrupted progress, work, life etc. lord Ganesha is worshiped.  Rather without his pooja, hindus cannot worship any other diety.  He has been given first ranking, and no one can move forward without performing pooja of Lord Ganesha. 

Jai Shri Mataji.  Jai shri Ganesha.

Mataji’s contribution to the Freedom Struggle of India

Mataji Nirmaladevi and her parents were actively involved in the freedom struggle of India.  When her parents were jailed for participation in the freedom struggle, she was just eight years old. Even at that tender age she took responsibility of looking after her younger siblings.  The royal family was forced out of their home and then she adopted a Spartan lifestyle.  For freedom of India along with her parents she also suffered.  She even lived in huts, slept on the floor going sometimes even without food. However she was sure that her parents were doing the things for the freedom of the country, and did not thought of little comforts that children are used too.

Mahatma Gandhi had a great impact on her and her family.  She became the youth leader in Mahatma Gandhi’s Quit India Movement of 1942, while she was studying at the Christian Medical College in Lahore. She was often tortured, arrested but she remained determined with her goal of India’s freedom.

The efforts, fighting and lives of many succeeded in India’s freedom.  However the cunning Britishers divided erstwhile India into three different countries – India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.  The era of post-independence was much complex. Even at that time Sheri Marajo opened her home for Muslim refugees.  She never discriminated on the basis of religious background and rather encouraged integration of all communities.

After getting national freedom, her promise to Mahatma Gandhi resulted in getting mankind “Freedom from Within “ i. e. Sahaja Yoga founded by her.

  On this Independence Day we bow our heads with great respect to your contribution to this great nation and humanity at large.

Jai Shri Mataji.

Experience Miracles with Sahaja Yoga.

Those who are practising sahaja yoga for months or years  experience various miracles.  But how can it happen ??? It is because of the power of the Mother of this universe, the Adishakti Mataji Nirmaladevi and with her blessings and good wishes nothing is impossible in this world.

Just have a look at few experiences of new sahaja yogis from south Africa, who have experienced and explained them as under . 

These are miracles of very new sahaja yogis from Soweto.

 In a weekly meeting one of the new sahaja yogi lady came and   responded, ‘I have brought these papers to thank The Mother’. 

She then explained that for five years she had been struggling with various government departments and officials, trying to apply for a disability grant for her daughter who is totally blind. And now since she started meditating last week, things had suddenly opened up. Officials had gone out of their way to help her. She had been telephoned by a top government official from the Social Welfare department in Pretoria, a white woman - she emphasised - who had said she would personally see to it that the case was attended to. The very next day, she saw a car standing in front of her home, and she thought the people in the car were perhaps lost. No, they were not. They came into the house, asking for her, and she realised these were government people from the Social Welfare department. They had brought her papers to her house! For her to fill out and hand back to the offices in Soweto. Something unheard of in the  townships. At the very offices where the whole thing had been turned down for years, and where she was suspecting it was because of corrupt officials.

What was amazing was for this lady, Patience Kumalo, I think she said was her name, was that she immediately connected what was happening with Shri Mataji. One would not have expected that from someone who so recently got in touch with Sahaja Yoga. Like usual, we had sort of mentioned in passing the previous week, that as soon as people started meditating they would see changes in their lives. We were most really expecting something like this, ourselves. So everybody was besides themselves with joy - and recognition. Yes Mother did this for this woman and her child. And we hope they were well received at the offices. We all did a bandhan for that, explaining what it means - and how it all works. And for the older ones, who have been coming for some months, this was just another story they could tell.

Nompi Sithole had been struggling for years without a proper place to stay. In the past few months she has been traced by an old man, totally unknown to her - who claimed to be her grand-father’s brother. He has offered her his house, as he realises he is about to die and had no children nor anybody close to him. The paper work has all been completed last month. Now Nompi and her children have a home. They recognised from the onset who was responsible for this. The Mother. Nompi and Nonhlanhla and a few others are becoming the core group around whom Sahaja Yoga is growing in the black communities of Soweto.

Sahaja yoga  for healthy and stress free life

It is proved by various studies and researches conducted at different places in the world that Sahaja Yoga helps in reducing and coping stress and also provides healthy life i.e. physical and mental health. 

Sahaja Yoga founded by Mata Nirmala Devi, that is gaining greater acceptance worldwide for calming the mind and busting stress, contributes to promoting mental and physical health, according to a new study conducted in Australia.

Ramesh Manocha, senior lecturer of psychiatry at the University of Sydney Medical School,  from Australia has told that  sahaja yoga has great potential to improve the physical and mental health of the people who do it regularly. Manocha was referring to his latest study on Sahaja Yoga, which focussed on meditation as mental silence, involving more than 348 people, conducted with colleagues Deborah Black and Leigh Wilson at the Sydney Medical School.

Manocha`s stressful life as a medical student turned his attention towards meditation and Sahaja Yoga. "I found the experience of mental silence distinctly powerful. The traditional western ways of dealing with stress, such as alcohol and tobacco consumption, were damaging my health," he recalls.

Since western scientists had overlooked this phenomenon, Manocha decided that he would subject it to scientific evaluation to determine whether it could help people in the west facing common mental and physical problems.

"We have actually done considerable research on the impact of Sahaja Yoga on work stress, bronchial asthma, menopause and mental health, involving hundreds of participants in many different contexts, all of which indicate its effectiveness," Manocha told .

Jai Shri Mataji for your kind gift to the humanity.

A True gift to humanity' by H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi for Health care and cure through vibratory awareness, developed by Sahaja Yoga meditation

Situated in a sylvan surrounding, the International Centre for Sahaja Yoga Research and Health stands as a unique centre of its kind in the world, where treatment is done by vibratory awareness, developed by Sahaja Yoga meditation.

On 19 th February 1996, Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi founded and graced this sprawling International Health Centre as a gift to humanity at CBD, Belapur, Navi Mumbai. The late Dr. U. C. Rai, former Head of the Physiology Department of Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Pondicherry, and professor in various medical colleges of Delhi, was appointed as its first director by Shri Mataji. After his demise, Shri Mataji appointed Dr. Madhur Rai as the next person in charge of this Health Centre.

Mother's Divine Grace has cured many patients from all over the world. About thirty-five countries including U.S.A., Australia, England, Africa, Malaysia, Singapore, Russia and Canada have benefited from the Sahaja treatment in this Health Centre.

Cases of varied etiology like Hypertension, Bronchial-Asthma, Diabetes, Migraine, Epilepsy, Depression and Cancer have been cured at the Health Centre. Not only patients with physical ailments but also yogis with subtle system imbalance visit the Health Centre.

 A few interesting experiences shared by the Sahaja Yogis who visited the centre

Etienne Loyson, a 62 year old architect from Belgium, is just spell-bound, “Earlier I had high blood pressure. Doctors abroad had suggested taking several tablets on routine as the only treatment method. But today, with Sahaja yoga treatment and the blessing of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, I am full of energy. I have stopped all medicines and I feel I am just 30 years old.” Katherine Reid from England (who suffered from irritable bowels syndrome) is a happy woman today, in contrast to her life previously when she had to take several medicines prior to her arrival in CBD, BelapurCentre.“I feel much better having stopped my medication completely.

My health has improved by about eighty per cent.” Anna Kargaity, a Canadian who suffered from depressive psychosis is full of smiles today. “I now have a positive outlook towards life, being able to develop my own personality and express my feelings”, she says. Similar benefits were highlighted by Belinda from Australia, Kumar from Canada, Bryan from USA and others.

On being asked as to why so many foreigners are coming to India, when advanced medicines are available with doctors of modern medicine all over the world, late Dr. U. C. Rai once commented, “The doctors abroad don't have a treatment for the psyche of human being, except giving tranquillizers, sedatives and anti-depressant drugs. These are not only harmful, but also habit-forming. In view of this, Sahaja yoga, which can control the psyche of human being by meditation, has become very popular to the treatment and prevention of psychosomatic diseases like bronchial asthma, migraine, irritable bowel syndrome, infertility, multiple sclerosis and spondylitis, to name a few. It is all due to the blessings of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, who founded Sahaja Yoga centre, and has enlightened thousands of people all over the world.”
