Noone can purchase Sahaja yoga only grace of God will make it flourish

 

Mataji Nirmaladevi has explained and outlined the process of entering into and then developing as sahajayogi in various lectures. Following is the extract of one of her lectures

So, in Sahaj Yoga one has to first get into [the] Self-realised state and then should know thoroughly how to use that state, or how to be in that state, how to manifest it, improve it and stabilise it. For this you cannot go into courses – that is for definite. “Should we do fourteen courses outside?” Has nothing to do with Sahaj Yoga. You have to get the keys.

Secondly, you cannot pay any money for it, you cannot purchase it.

It is very difficult for human beings to understand this part: that you cannot pay for it. That is one place where you cannot pay and purchase.

It is not that you are going to judge the Sahaj Yoga, but Sahaj Yoga is going to judge you. It’s just the other way around.

It is not that you are going to purchase Sahaj Yoga, but Sahaj Yoga has to purchase you and has to accept you.

It is very easy to do any other nonsense: just you pay the money and you are there enrolled, permanently. You become the member of any group, very easy. And you can club together and be satisfied, “Oh, we are this and that!” You can brand yourself as anything but not as Sahaj Yogis, unless and until you have got it.

It is that essential, that authentic, that intrinsic, that innate, that you have to be that. You can be an Englishman if you get a British passport. You can be a director anywhere if you can qualify for that. But you cannot be a Sahaj Yogi by doing anything that you have been doing to achieve for worldly things or worldly positions, worldly possessions.

We see so many such phenomena in our life that we cannot see or cannot manoeuvre, cannot do such as a flower manifest into a fruit. As we cannot germinate a seed, we cannot do this living thing, which has to be done by Divine power and not by human power.

Once you get it, the Divine power starts flowing through you, then you can also charge the dynamo. There is no false certificate that can be given. You may be having a son who is not realised: you may stand on your head or do whatever you please, you just cannot certify unless and until he has got it.

It is such a strange thing, so unique. But do you know: this is what you are seeking. The rest of the things can be sought. This is the thing which can only be requested for, to be prayed for, to be asked for. You cannot demand it. Only the grace of God can work it out.

Balancing Three Channels within us leads to Cure of Disease

Balancing three channels within us leads to Cure of Disease

Now we have three energies flowing within us. The first is on the left hand side, which gives us the existence by which we exist, and gives us the desire to exist. Also gives us the desire. This one is represented by the left hand side we can say or the left sympathetic nervous system. This represents our past, which I would say Freud saw as something as conditioning but I think he was very half baked.

Sartre saw the other side, the right side. Only person who saw it clearly was – quite clearly was Jung and he said that you have to be self realized in which you become, you become, again he said you become collectively conscious, you become. He just made one mistake I think, he thought that the conscious mind has to go to the subconscious to reach the unconscious. Maybe the effect of Freud because he was a – to begin with he was a disciple.

We must know that God is a great organizer. For we have to go supposing to the airport, we don’t have to cross through the masses of luggage. There is a passage, proper passage for us to go through it. In the same way, if we have to ascent, there has to be a proper passage, so the organizer has made beautifully the left side for our psyche, not Freudian way, but the psyche I would call it because the left side is all the conditionings and the past, and the right side which is our future and our mental and physical being. And the central path is left for our ascent, this is the evolutionary path. So the left path is for our desire, the power of desire and the right side is for the power of action through our mental and physical being.

When the Kundalini rises through these centers, she brings back them and as if, like a thread it passes through several pearls, the Kundalini goes through all the Chakras, and connects you to the mains. She nourishes all the centers. By that nourishment you get the vitality and thus you get cured. So it is your own power which cures you, it is your own redeeming factor within you, which is dormant so far, becomes active and you get cured. Most of the physical diseases are caused by imbalance on the physical side and the mental diseases are caused by the imbalances on the left hand side. Now, if you can after Realization understand how to bring your personality into balance you can cure yourself of any disease.

 Adi shankaracharya has described what is Atma, who I am, how I am, what is my real nature.  Adi shankaracharya has clearly told that I am not this external manifestation,

Meditation is the Key to adress the Noise in the Head

Sahajyoga meditation is unique method of meditation, which helps every seeker in different forms.  There would be hardly any person, who has not reaped the benefits of daily meditation.  All the practitioners describes how they are really feeling difference in their own life with the daily sahaja yoga meditation.   Following is one such experience naratted by Sakshi Rao.

Addressing The Noise In Your Head- Meditation Is The Key!

 Growing up meditating is something I’ll be ever grateful for. It has been a constant. It’s almost impossible to truly describe how comforting knowing that is. In these times where there are so much hatred and so much shallowness, isn’t it a blessing if you have something to hold on to; something that is above the mundane and the petty; something that guides, keeping you grounded and balanced.

The practice of meditation has proven benefits with regards to physical and mental health,no doubt, but once it becomes a part of the way you live its influences are multifold.

Through my interactions with friends, colleagues, and relatives, it’s apparent to me that almost everyone is inherently seeking happiness, to make the most of everything in terms of gaining personal satisfaction. Most of us go about achieving this by immersing ourselves in a rat race: slogging away through each phase of life, believing that the eternal bliss we crave will be waiting for us at the top of the ladder. We keep at it for a while, but when the satisfaction of that effort proves to be momentary we turn to our peers to see how they are faring. We emulate those around us who appear to be successful, contented and at peace with life. We fake it.

However, when this doesn’t work out we cloak ourselves in denial because we cannot bear to face it that we have gone about things the wrong way. We then constantly keep ourselves distracted by getting addicted to material things so that the noise inside us gets drowned out.

 What I’ve experienced with meditation is that it pulls the focus within, addressing the turbulence that is inside and by extension guiding us to deal with the commotion that is outside. What is amazing is that these ideas of joy, peace and happiness that might otherwise be partially-formed or abstract can be identified as palpable, real things through Sahaja Yoga meditation.

Meditating every day helps us get to know ourselves better, helps us stay connected with our being and the energy within us. And this joy of being connected multiplies when meditation is practised in a collective.

The Sahaja Yoga family is huge – Sahaja Yoga has its presence in around 100 countries, there are over 40 centres in Karnataka alone. There is no race here – the aim is to grow collectively.

Sahaja Yoga in Medicine

 

Sahaja Yoga in medicine

Sahaja Yoga meditation has proven effective in addressing various medical ailments, including , and . Some of these claims have been scientifically confirmed. For example, some case studies have shown that test subjects who were practicing Sahaja Yoga meditation had "significant improvement in VCS (Visual Contrast Sensitivity)", and that meditation appeared to bring about changes in some of the electrophysiological responses studied in epileptic patients. Other studies showed that Sahaja Yoga meditation results in fewer and less acute epileptic seizures  According to the Medical Observer Weekly, Sahaja Yoga was found to be more effective than other generic forms of meditation in the reduction of stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Short-term effects on asthma have also been noticed, by both objective and subjective measures.

Sahaja Yoga claims that it has cured patients of "high blood pressure, asthma, epilepsy, diabetes, cancer, etc." SY's commentary on a study by Mishra [RK], et al., 1993, suggests that an observed increase in beta-endorphins for meditating males could explain "so-called miraculous cures". Mishra reported that Sahaja Yoga meditation resulted in a "significant increase" in beta-endorphins between control and meditating subjects. 

The organization runs an international hospital in Mumbai, India, the Sahaja Yoga International Health and Research Centre, which uses Sahaja Yoga methods. This hospital claims to have been successful in curing incurable diseases such as (refractory) high blood pressure, epilepsy, and multiple sclerosis.

Shri Nirmala Srivastava has developed a liver diet to promote better health. White cane sugar, white rice, yogurt, ginger, fruits and vegetables promote the "cooling" of the liver. Alcohol , fried foods, red meat, fish, cream and chocolate are among the foods that are "heating" and thus may be harmful if taken in excess. 

Water vibrated spiritually can, according to the organization, change the characteristics of water, reulting in purification

How sahaja yoga meditation helps throughout the life

 

Many people all over the world are practising sahajayoga  and reaping benefits in the form of mental peace, contentment in life, balanced energy, no fear or feeling of depression.  Many have also been benefited in the physical form.  Following is such experience naratted by one of the devotee of Mataji Nirmaladevi. -

I am a 76-year-old grandmother and have been practising Sahaja Yoga for 34 years.  A young boy from Chennai said, “Aunty, whoever talks about you says you are very strong”.  “Yes, I am strong, but not like a wrestler”. I am mentally and spiritually strong, and that is because of my honest and sincere practice of Sahaja Yoga.  It has taught me everything. How to be good and strong, how to keep healthy, and how to be a person whom everybody wants to meet and know.

From the day I joined I have followed all the teachings of Sahaja Yoga very obediently, without any doubts or questions.  We are not asked to do difficult things like fasting, giving up family, being very sober and not going for parties or movies.  BUT  we must live a moral life and avoid all things that are wrong and sinful. How will we know?

The day you get realisation, the Divine Energy of the Kundalini starts spreading into all the cells of the body and starts cleaning us from inside.  

All this dirt must be removed, so we are taught to sit with our feet in a bucket of salt water. The water element takes it all out.

We are also taught to sit in meditation early in the morning, because between 4:30 and 6:00 am is Brahma Muhurtham, when the divine rays are very strong, and the flowers open, and birds sing.  This is my daily routine. Sometimes I may feel pinpricks on my fingers and palms. They told me in the Centre that these are signs that there is some disturbance in a Chakra. Every chakra has a nerve ending on a fingertip, and according to the finger, we can know which chakra is in trouble.

I even learnt that on every chakra a reflection of God has a seat, and every chakra has qualities that we have to follow.  Like the chakra at the neck is the place of Shri Krishna, and the qualities there are to speak sweetly to everyone. If I have been rude and bossy, and hurt anyone’s feelings, this chakra will get disturbed and I will feel it on a finger.

Not only this, but we also learn how to repair any damage that we may do by our bad behaviour, or by harming others.  So, we are always alerting to find out our mistakes and correct ourselves.

So regular practice of Sahaja Yoga makes me a better person.  

I do not get angry, so I do not get blood pressure or tension headaches.  I am always happy with what I have, so I don’t try to do cheating and fraud to gather money or property.  I do not speak rudely to anyone in my house – my husband, my children, my grandchildren, or the people who come and help us in the house.

I am not strict about what time I eat, what time I sleep, or any other requirement.  But I am regular with my meditation, my foot soaking, and attending the collective programs in the Centre. I learnt how to balance myself!

Divine Movie

 

"Divine Movie"

“Our Life is just like a movie which is written by our ‘Destiny’ and directed by “Almighty” ‘Himself,

So it is always better to enjoy this movie in witness state with great charm and interest rather than sticking with its story and being annoyed or happy with the acting of its characters.

Because the whole story, role and all the scenes are put in this movie by the Director as per ‘His’ choices and liking.

So we cannot plan our destiny as it is already planned by “Him”.

So why should we always keep on trying to change our fate by hook or by crook.

By being influenced by our mind which always feel satisfied and happy to rule our Consciousness and try to control our Awareness.

We cannot even alter the story in spite of intense disliking as we are just audience.

But we can initiate for a good friendship with the ‘Director’ through ‘Deep Meditation’ and express our Liking and Disliking before “Him” regarding the movie.

So that “He” might add some stories or change its theme or put some more scenes or Launch another movie as per our Choice.”--‘Impulses’
