Real Spirituality

What is your take on spirituality in today’s world?

In today’s world, the understanding of the term ‘Spirituality’ is very distorted. Unfortunately, majority of humans, especially those with power/ authority/ education market ‘spirituality’ as something very ambiguous that needn’t be pursued at all. Rather they promote materialistic dreams to the common mass and define life and success as something to do with bank balance, number of bungalows and cars in one’s possession!

So those people who can work and be employed, have their priorities clearly defined by the world around us – esp. by the media, entertainment and advertising world! They create commodities and define fashion trends and also propagate the fact that if one is not following the current trend – however dumb that may be – is outdated and belongs to a backward society whose future is very bleak!
Therefore, afraid of being pushed into oblivion by the ‘supposedly’ trendy society, people tend to blindly follow fashion/ comfort/ luxury trends and make a complete mockery out of themselves and the society as well as the nation they belong to!
Although this is also true that India (and other parts of the world as well) is very rich in spiritual heritage but unfortunately it just remains as some matter of discussion by the intellectuals in their living room.

And of course there are charlatans in every country who are busy marketing superstitions and delusions in the name of spirituality. And because majority are quite unaware of the concept of true authentic spiritual science, they are easily duped by the frauds and they land up suffering endlessly!

What does spirituality mean to you?

In simple words, spirituality is the ‘science of the divine’ and as science is totally based on detailed understanding of any subject, so is ‘spirituality’ a very deep understanding of the techniques devised by the Creator (aka. God, Almighty, Allah, Eishwar etc) to run the Universe as well as experiencing the presence of divine blessings in the form of vibrations.

I came to know of the concept of manifesting your own divinity by reading various books on enlightenment written by our spiritually inclined and enlightened ancestors. It is through such books that I came of know about ‘Kundalini Shakti’ (coiled dormant serpent energy) lying at the base of our spine that needs to be awakened by a True Spiritual Master. Just like we have different body systems (respiratory, circulatory, muscular etc.) working in perfect synch with each other, so do we have a Subtle System, made of Chakras, Nadis (Energy Wheels and Energy Channels) and the dormant spiritual element (Kundalini Shakti) in all of us.

With sahajayoga, after awakening of your kundalini, you know what is real spirituality.  You  know you are Atma - and can know everything with the help of vibrations on your top of your  fingers.  You then know the hackers, merchants, salesmen of god fooling innocent people in the name of God.  You discard all wrong notions about religion  and associated dress code, behaviour, fasting, and all external manifestation of  code of dharma established by crooked  gurus.  You become your own guru.  Your inner voice, antaratma guides you on every issue of life, as kundalini in your body, is your real mother for many generations and knows well what is right for you.  So never neglect inner voice, which is real divine advice for you in given circumstances.

Mataji Nirmaladevi has enlightened thousands of  people who leading full life with power of love, compassion, brotherhood - the real teachings of any dharma or religion. 

Jai Shri Adishakti  Mataji Nirmaladevi. 

Stay in the present, and stay balanced - real solution for stress management.

 

Remaining in balanced state is the main principle, objective or idea of sahajayoga. Person should not be right sided or left sided, as both have their own problems - physical as well as mental. Hence attaining balanced state of mind gives one peace within, for which he or she is wandering everywhere outside.

Following was the important message given by Mataji Nirmaladevi to a group of IAS and IPS officers on stress management. 

Many a head nodded in agreement as Nirmala Devi, spiritual leader and founder of Sahaja Yoga, said, "Don't be too harsh on yourself. Stop feeling guilty about what has happened. Forgive yourself andforgive others.''

She was speaking to the officers of Indian Administrative Service on "Stress and Tension Management'' at the Y.B. Chavan auditorium on Saturday afternoon.

She described the IAS and IPS officers as the "spine of the country'' and said that they should not be under any kind of stress or strain.

For Mataji as she is popularly known, peace lies within an individual and it needs to be discovered. According to her, it is essential to go into the meditative state to reach that state. "And it is just the beginning of a transformation that takes us to a higher level of awareness,'' she said.

Nirmala Devi noted that people were not aware of the subtle system that works within every being. Explaining the concept of "kundalini awakening'', she said that the kundalini was the energy that lay dormant in the sacrum (bone at the base of the spine). In a broader sense, kundalini awakening was the process of self-realisation, which helps a person overcome stress and heals the harried nervous system. She believes that self-realisation was a person's first encounter with reality.

According to the shastras also, she said, power resides within every human being. Sahaja Yoga uses this subtle inner instrument -- kundalini, to bring about a balance in the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual being.

"When the kundalini is awakened, it helps the person humble down. It also brings about self-realisation. The awakening itself is known as self-realisation,'' she said. She added that people needed to relax today, and that too was possible with this awakening.

In her book, "Stress Management through Sahaja Yoga", she has explained that the left sympathetic nervous system, represents the power of desire of an individual, while the right represents power of action. "And it is the left side that you can control," she said, adding that there should be a balance between the two.

Sahaja Yoga aims at achieving holistic health care for people with meditation. Elaborating on the benefits of meditation, she said that a person could attain a peaceful state of mind and still stay alert. "One feels compassion for humanity and is able to let go of anger, hatred, fear, resentment and other negative traits that inhibit a person's growth,'' she said.

Nirmala Devi started the propagation of Sahaja Yoga in 1970 and today over 85 countries the world-over, have Sahaja Yoga centres. Having been associated with the freedom struggle, she said, that this technique of self-realisation also makes a person patriotic. "As those who practice it are above materialism and can sacrifice anything,'' she noted.

Commenting on the human tendency to brood over the past, she reiterated that to feel bad about the past was inconsequential. "If you feel bad, you torture yourself. Learn to stay in the present and stay balanced,'' she said.

Lord Ganesha and Mooladhar Chakra

 

The ganpati festival is being celebrated in many parts of India. Lord Ganesha is associated with this chakra in our body.  Hence this post to highlight the importance of first important chakra in our body. 

Mooladhar chakra

Innocence and Wisdom (Mooladhara) 

The deity of this chakra is Shri Ganesha. It is having four petals and is associated with excretory organs.

 Location. The Mooladhara chakra is located in the pelvic plexus at the base of your spine. The vibrations of this root chakra can be felt on the base of your palm.

Qualities. Your Mooladhara chakra forms the foundation of your entire subtle energy system. It represents eternal and indestructible qualities within you. These qualities only manifest to their fullest potential when your Kundalini energy has been awakened. This chakra is represented by a coral red color. It is closely aligned with the earth element.

 The fundamental quality of the Mooladhara chakra is innocence. Innocence is the basis of righteous (dharmic) character. Your innocence can never be destroyed, but it may be covered (or masked) by your ego and conditionings, just as the sun may be covered by clouds.

Negative societal influences can also muddy the pure innocence and wisdom that is part of your Mooladhara chakra. The good news is that meditation can restore them. When you rebalance your Mooladhara, you can renew your energy and priorities.

 Experience and Benefits. A balanced Mooladhara will help you maintain and increase your inner wisdom. You’ll be able to quickly distinguish right from wrong. The wisdom of this chakra will enable you to avoid action (or inaction) that is harmful to yourself or others.

A balanced Mooladhara chakra will also lead to improved memory, attention and focus. You’ll be able to manage your intellectual energy and make decisions quickly while maintaining emotional balance and stability.

Additionally, the innocence of this chakra will enable you to view other people and situations without prejudice or bias. Your actions will be pure as a result.

 

Tapping into your Mooladhara will give you the ability and authority to raise your own Kundalini energy as well as that of others who also wish to experience the benefits of Kundalini energy awakening. You will become better able to distinguish false information. You will not fall prey to those who would cheat you or “take you for a ride.”

Your Mooladhara chakra plays a role in helping you remain in harmony with nature. It also helps you to avoid unnatural or unhealthy lifestyles (those that may be considered “perverse” or “against nature”). Mooladhara allows you to respect your innocence and purity, as well as that of others. It is through the Mooladhara chakra that birth and creation continue their course.

When you experience a disruption of your Mooladhara chakra, many illnesses mayresult. Because it governs sexuality and the reproductive system, balancing this chakra will guard against a misuse of sexuality or sexual perversions. Mooladhara also governs your excretory system. When the chakra is balanced, your body will be free of diarrhea or constipation.

Left channel problems, such as depression or lethargy, can also be prevented by balancing the Mooladhara chakra. Right channel problems, such as aggressive behavior, excessive thinking, excessive planning and overindulging may also beeliminated.

Self-Assessment. If your Mooladhara chakra is out of balance, you may experience a poor sense of direction, poor memory, or a poor sense of balance (gravity). Other symptoms of disruption in this chakra include excretory problems, sexual disorders and reproductive difficulties.

How to Balance. Fortunately, it is quite simple to balance your Mooladhara chakra. To begin, you should sit directly on the earth as often as possible. While enjoying a peaceful moment outdoors, you may clear your left Mooladhara by resting on the ground in a cross-legged fashion. Place both hands on the ground beside your hips, palms facing downward.

If you are unable to spend time outside, there is another option. Soaking your feet in a bowl of warm salted water is also helpful in balancing the Mooladhara chakra

Mataji takes care of every sahajayogi

I am here for you

Adishakti Mataji takes care of each and every devotee and sahajayogi.  She is known as Dhanwantari, the Doctor of Gods as per hindu dharma.  So nothing is impossible for her , her ways are totally different.  She can cure people from distance too.  Following is one of the experience of sahajayogi,as explained by her.

In December 1984 I was taking part in the annual tour of India with Shri Mataji and about two hundred Sahaja Yogis. I had been very struck by the enormous respect and adoration in which the Indian Sahaja Yogis held Shri Mataji. In Vaitarna, a village some distance from Mumbai, the Indians had one day organized a procession in which Shri Mataji would be carried around the village on an ox-cart, decorated with garlands. The Sahaja Yogis, western and Indian, danced around the cart as it advanced through the village streets accompanied by local musicians.

I started to dance and gradually approached Shri Mataji’s ox-cart. Shri Mataji saw me and greeted me with the gesture of namaste. I approached the ox-cart and started to walk alongside. From the ox-cart, Shri Mataji extended Her hand and I approached closer to kiss it. At this moment the cart wheel, wooden with an iron rim, ran over my foot.  ‘It’s nothing, it’s nothing,’ I said to all those around who were looking at me, horror-stricken. Some people carried me under a tree where one Sahaja Yogini, a nurse, tried to stop the bleeding and an English doctor stitched my foot up. Mr. Pradhan, the leader of the Vaitarna Sahaja Yogis, came over to see me.

‘Shri Mataji is very sorry for what happened,’ he said. ‘She sends Her vibrations and tonight She will work on your foot.’
Mr. Pradhan returned to tell me that Shri Mataji was too tired. She would work on me the next day. I was taken in a jeep back to the bungalow where we were staying. Unknown to me, Shri Mataji was staying in the same bungalow. Next morning, I was sitting in my sleeping bag in the little corridor where we slept, suddenly everyone stood up. Shri Mataji was there. I also tried to stand up. Shri Mataji came towards me.

‘I am here for you,’ She said. ‘Come to my room.’ I followed Her, hopping on my good foot. The other had swollen up and I could not put my weight on it. Shri Mataji, conversing with me all the while, began to give vibrations to my foot. Having first assured Her that I could move all my toes, She put Her foot on top of mine, at first horizontally, pressing on the toes, and then pressing first on one side of my foot and then on the other, vertically. Her foot was completely pressed against mine and I not only felt the vibrations on my foot, but I had the impression that my foot had become a band of vibrations after some time.

‘Go now and don’t think any more about it,’ She said. Having entered Mother’s room hopping, I left it walking normally, without feeling any pain.

Evolution of society will throw out Fundamentalism

Any kind of fundamentalism is out of date and they cannot survive. “

So we have all gathered here today in this country of Austria, which in Sanskrit we call it Astra. Astra means: The divine weapons. And the greatest credit, I would give to Austria is this: That you don´t find any fundamentalism of any kind, whether it is Islam, or whether it is Christian, or Hindu any kind of fundamentalism operating in this country. Which is a very, very, very rare thing. Right from Russia to England you find everywhere there is a subtle fundamentalism existing. And this country has this speciality that there is no fundamentalism. And also racialism you don´t feel here at all. In every country I have felt that there is racialism. Of course, in Russia, there isn´t. But otherwise. So this country seems to be a very open minded country and perhaps because they have such beautiful nature with them. In this beautiful nature they want to enjoy the natüre and for that you have to have an open heart. Or maybe the vice versa, the natüre must have opened their heart.

So, this land has a speciality: And I am very happy you all have from all the way from so many countries, even from America, Australia, India, such far-off countries you have assembled here for this celebration and yesterday we actually saw ourselves, with our own eyes, the grace falling on this country. Cause this country deserves it. Any country which has fundamentalism behind it, will have to go down in this modern times. Any kind of fundamentalism is out of date and they cannot survive. They will be thrown out. Out of the evolution of the societies. So: One has to open yourself to everything. Moreover, Sahaja Yoga encompasses all the great religions and all the great incarnations, prophets and saints.

We respect all of them equally, like the jews respect Christ as they respect Moses, the Muslims respect Moses, as they respect Muhammed Sahab, the Hindus respect Muhammed Sahab, as they respect Shri Rama. This kind of a mutual respect, that we have, is not by blind faith, but by understanding through Sahaja Yoga, what we call on our central nervous system we can feel the divine power, and our whole being works like a computer and we can find out what is the truth about all of them. And that is how through our enlightenment, in that light, we worship all these people equally the same. But when it starts going to the fundamental bases, everybody is ruining, everybody’s name is put into shame and all these great people are looked upon as some sort of trouble-makers. So, today´s thing speciality is that if we have any fundamentalistic ideas within our head, first of all, we should drive it out. In a way, whatever is happening in modern times is the exposure of all, that is wrong, evil and destructive. And all that is today shown to us, very clearly.

We see it so clearly happening, that those people, who are against unification of the world, oneness of the world, and love for each other , are just getting exposed. So, our main power is our love. And that love is so effective, so kind, so tender, so beautiful, it has to be felt and to be enjoyed…

The True Prophet and Religion

 

If we consider the most ancient evidence left by homo sapiens, we can see that man has always been aware of the existence of a Supreme Being, who is Lord of all things and of all living creatures.

Using every conceivable means, human beings of every era have always tried to show their feelings of deep respect (and reverence) towards God and to perform what is due to their Creator.

This is why Islam has always stressed the possibility of direct communication with God. Even those who have fallen into idolatry have never denied the existence of the Creator, but have simply put their idols and images in His place. And this is still happening today. This being the case, how can we recognise a true prophet and what is his or her mission?

The mission of the prophets is to reveal the will of God, that is, to provide a logical and tangible explanation of religion as it is experienced in our daily lives.

Genuine monotheism - the belief in a Supreme Being - means (or implies) the unshakeable oneness of the whole creation between man and God. Monotheism proves then, the pointlessness of idols and of images that come between man and God. The mission of the prophets is thus to set human beings on the right track, and in order to do this, the prophets have used two parallel and complementary paths:

- the way of learning, based on theology and philosophy
- and the way of Self-Knowledge or Self-Realisation

This is why we find in our Holy Book, the Koran, both scholastic discourse and phrases which hint at the"Way in"to knowledge of the Highest Self. The concrete means of putting this message into practise is what is offered to us in this age by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.

To back up this Truth, if you will allow me. I will quote these words of the Prophet Muhammad, who tells us: "God is closer to man than his own veins.”And the Prophet says: "With the knowledge of the Spirit, man will begin to know himself, so as to finally achieve knowledge of God.” "With the purification of his inner being, man becomes conscious that he is the Spirit.”

It is thus the experience of spontaneous Self Realisation - which is revealed by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi - and Sahaja Yoga - which is the practise which she teaches - both spontaneous Self Realisation and Sahaja Yoga are in perfect harmony with the teachings of Islam. It is because of this revelation by Shri Mataji that I have wanted to speak to you tonight.”

Sahajayoga- discovery through Islamic Scholars

 

H.A.R. Gibb, J.H. Kramers, Shorter Encyclopaedia of Islam
E.J. Brill, Leiden 1953, p.24.

“Allah sends to this nation at the beginning of each century those who renew the religion.” [Sunan Abi Dawud (4291)] This is an authentic hadith that has enjoyed widespread acceptance among Muslims.

Given all the above facts concerning Hidjra (Hijrah or Hegira) the starting point of the Islamic period begins at the end of the year 622. "Early in the 14th century of the Hidjra" is 1923. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi was born the 21st of March 1923! This priceless prediction of Nabi Muhammad has manifested exactly as foretold 14 centuries ago. Surely the Hypocrites and Wrongdoers (Zalimun) are not going to deny the prophecy of Prophet Muhammad, their revered Messenger of Allah. Surely the Unbelievers (Al-Kafirun) are not going to deny the Promised Mahdi Shri Nirmala Devi, an Androgynous Being in the Spirit World.

Islamic Conference Focuses On Sahaja Yoga

LUCKNOW (Feb 9) - Interpretation of the Quran in the light of Sahaja Yoga was the topic of the first international conference of the Islamic Study Group in the city here on Sunday. Various Muslim scholars from around the globe dwelt on the divine powers of Nirmala Devi, who has rediscovered the magic of 'sahaj yoga.' The members discussed the benefits of this form and how Muslims could benefit from it.

Speaking on occasion, Mr. Husain Top, a renowned sufi saint from Turkey, said the seven heavens mentioned by the prophet were in fact seven 'chakras' of consciousness.

"The Almighty is pleased after one attains a higher state of consciousness through self-purification and meditation," he said.

"God sees through man and he hears through man," the sufi saint said. Mr. Top said in the final stage of consciousness man is enveloped by the will of God and in this state he attains union with the Almighty and finds peace.

Mr. Jamal from Algeria revealed that 'Qayamet' or Doomsday as is generally understood, is not destruction but resurrection attaining enlightenment.

Mr. Javed Khan, president of the Indian Taekwondo Association and the All-India Kickboxing Federation, said the 'meraj' or ascent can be attained through self-realization, which happens spontaneously in Sahaja Yoga. The Quran and the Hadith speak specifically about 'meraj,' he said.

Dr. Amjad Ali from Australia spoke on the same topic and explained the matter in detail. He related every aspect of his theory to the electromagnetic field of the energy present within every individual, which he termed as 'chakras.' Explaining the position of the 'kundalini,' which he said was the breath of god in the human body, Mr. Amjad Ali said the 'kundalini' ascends from the base of the spine to the top of the head, which when aroused leads to self-realization.

Dr. Zafar Rashid from the United Kingdom talked about incarnations. He said the holy ghost was in fact the primordial feminine power called 'AdiShakti.' "It is through this 'shakti' that we can attain salvation," he said.

Mr. Majeed Golpour from Iran said resurrection is also the time for advent of the 12th. Imam or the 'Ma'dhi' (which Javed said was in fact 'AdiShakti'.) Mr. Golpour said from the various signals he received from time to time, it has become clear that 'Adishakti' or the 'imam ma'hdi' had come to Earth in the form of Nirmala Devi.”
