We see around us hundred and thousands of people seeking personality development. They try different methods, learn many things, and still fill empty. Why it is so? Many of the richest, busiest, highly placed people also suffer from some sort of problems from within- they may not disply it, indicate it or talk about it.
World over people are trying to get peace of mind, balance of mind, control of own life, self deveopment- in all respect- physical, mental, financial, social, cultural etc. All this is possible by only one world known and practised method of "Sahajayoga".
I have personally experienced many miracles happening in my life with the grace and love of my Mataji Nirmaladevi. I would like everybody in the world to experience it It is free completely, it is easy to understand and follow. Just know it, learn it and get enlightened in life.
following are various benefits experienced by different sahajayogis.
1. The greatest benefit is achieving the state of thoughtlessness. As a result of this one remains in the present which is the truth.
2. Peace can be achieved collectively when thousands of people get the awakening of their kundalini. The family gets improved, children are improved and one's attention becomes innocent. That peaceful nature will bring forth the future of a new age where there will be no war.
3. One becomes a very balanced, righteous and really innately religious person. There is no lust and greed in the attention, temper subdues and all bad habits drop out. Many people have given up smoking, drinking and drugs, sometimes overnight.
4. The personality rises so much above others and the sense of discretion becomes so sharp and perfect, that nothing can deviate the mind from the righteous path unless he himself falls into some temptation, fear or manipulations.
5. One is not afraid of standing for the truth.
6. Creativity in literature and Self Development have worked miraculously in some people. The same is with music and in the field of art. Also surprisingly people have improved economically. The practice of meditation also improves one's mental focus, concentration and energy levels. With a calm yet alert mind, it is no wonder the practitioners of Sahaja Yoga take on an air of confidence in dealing with life's challenges.
7. With Sahaja Yoga, many children who were dull in class have become alert and intelligent and have shown great results in their studies. Some very difficult and dangerously violent children could be moulded into beautiful personalities.
8. Many have been cured completely of very serious incurable ailments, though it must be mentioned that Sahaja Yoga is not for curing people. As a byproduct one gets physical, mental, economical, social and spiritual wellbeing in totality. Many psychosomatic problems and mental confusions can be cured.
9. The effects of Sahaja Yoga also act on agriculture. The crop that grows out of non-hybrid seeds when vibrated with the Divine power of cool breeze sometimes grows eight or ten times more than that with the hybrid seeds.
10. Sahaja Yoga is for the emancipation of the whole world at every level. There are now more than hundred nations where Sahaja yoga is being practiced.
11. Illnesses and ailments arise due to imbalances of the subtle energy system. Through Sahaja Yoga, one awakens the dormant primordial energy Kundalini and it starts enlightening the subtle energy centres (chakras) within you. You can then heal, correct, balance and nourish the subtle energy centres (chakras) through simple cleansing techniques taught in Sahaja Yoga. As you become more centered and balanced, your state of health improves and you become more immune to illnesses.
12. By improving certain chakras we can improve our interaction with friends and strangers in society. we can rebuild self-esteem, improving our social life immeasurably.
13. We are freed from the pain of separation to loved ones because we feel that we are always connected, not just to our family but to every human being. Our heart opens to strangers more readily and we become more compassionate to others than we were before.
14. Many people have benefited physically from practicing Sahaja Yoga. This is due to the soothing effect that the awakened Kundalini energy has on our nervous system. And also by the amount of energy saved as a result of thinking less. Meditation helps to still our over-active minds which cause the many stress related health problems of this modern era.
So find out the centre near you. Or long in the site of sahajayoga.com. Get self realisation with the blessings of Mataji Nirmaladevi.

Medical Benefits of Sahajayoga.
People who everyday practice sahajayoga know the medical benefits offered by Sahajayoga. But many are unaware of it, and hence this information for them. It is a proven system, tried, studied, and witnessed and experienced. The person may have any ailment, physical , mental or psyco-somatic as now a days fashion to call it by medical fraternity.
Mataji Nirmaladevi offers you the technique whereby you get accustomed to your own divine power, the godly established system in your human body to cure any kind of disease automatically. Kindly learn the sahajayoga free and get freed from any fear,phobia, problems, worries, . Just get enlighened and live the meaningful, peaceful life.
following are some of the medical benefits.
The New Frontiers of Medical Science
The past century has seen tremendous progress in medical science. The causes and cures of many diseases have been discovered and utilized for the benefit of the mankind. Cures for polio, leprosy, TB and many types of early stage cancers have been found and the terror of death they used to evoke earlier is now eradicated. But it seems that as medical science progressed, so did the diseases.
Shri Mataji:
Social Benefits
Health Benefits
Agricultural Benefits
Medical Benefits
Stress Management
New and previously uncommon ailments have now replaced the earlier killers. Common diseases of the present era like Essential Hypertension (High blood pressure), Diabetes, Asthma, etc have displayed a resilience to cure and are proving very difficult to be eradicated. What medical science has offered are temporary measures to ease out the pain and advise on eating low calorie food, leading a stress-free life…even worship, as they have discovered that such positive changes in lifestyle have had beneficial effect on the person. What they have failed to address is why these changes work and how can these changes be made a part of person's daily life? Why does faith heal?
Is there some way where it can be discovered how these positive changes create beneficial effect and the source of all such changes found out? Medical researchers have been traditionally used to the Cartesian view of the human body as a machine. They have now found themselves facing a totally unchartered territory as they discover that the origin of modern diseases lies not only in the organ where the disease inflicts itself, but also in the psychological, biological & social environment phenomenon of man. The triad of mind – matter – spirit has emerged as the ultimate cause and everlasting solution of the medical sufferings of humans. New studies are focused on their interplay to discover a sustainable cure for our modern diseases and they have discovered that a balanced mind-matter-spirit triad leads to a more healthy body and brain.
Healing effects of Sahaja Yoga
The effects of yoga (originating from the Sanskrit word ‘yuj' and meaning to yoke or to unite as one or to join) on healing human body have been extensively discussed. But the medical profession has always associated it with alternative medicine, and has thus not paid enough attention to the significant benefits it has bestowed to its believers.
Yoga in real sense means union of the primordial energy (called Kundalini by ancient sages, and situated in the triangular bone called sacrum, at the base of spine) with the All Pervading Cosmic Energy. Yoga has been traditionally practiced for thousands of years in India and the east but its procedures were believed to be very difficult.
Sahaja Yoga, discovered by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, has shown that it is very easy to practice Yoga and achieve all the benefits associated with it, without any discomfort. Various researches have been done on its medical benefits, especially by the Department of Physiology, Lady Hardinge Medical College and associated hospitals, New Delhi. They have consistently shown the beneficial effects of Sahaja Yoga on the general health of individuals, various lifestyle related diseases, many psychosomatic diseases and even some forms of cancer.
Essential Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) – Relax & Enjoy: Much attention has been devoted to this disease, most prevalent in urban establishments. It is a silent killer as no symptoms occur in the early stages of this disease. The progressive increase in the incidence of hypertension in urban areas has been related to the increasingly difficult environment being faced by the individuals. Multiple activities now clamor for attention & energy of the individual, leading to a deteriorating lifestyle. These conditions of psychological stress accumulate over a period of time, causing high blood pressure. In the research done at Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi, it was found that, antihypertensive drugs, when coupled with Sahaja yoga, considerably increased their efficiency. Once the blood pressure was brought to normal, it was kept within control by practicing only Sahaja yoga. Sahaja yoga practice modulates the activities of the autonomic nervous system, and also decreases the activities of the sympathetic nervous system that is especially active during psychological stress conditions. Thus it achieves a deep feeling of relaxation, both mental & physical, causing beneficial effects on hypertensive individuals. Moreover, if Sahaja Yoga is made a part of everyday life, by people who are prone to develop hypertension, it could also prevent the onset of the disease as well.
Bronchial Asthma – Breathe Free: Asthma, once a relatively uncommon disease, is now spreading fast with rising pollution levels and increasing levels of mental strain. As the sufferers have painfully experienced, emotional stress has an escalating effect on the severity of asthma. Regular practice of Sahaja yoga meditation has the effect of reducing emotional strain and eventually completely evaporating it. The person experiences a feeling of security and thereby the anxiety factor is negated. Sahaja yoga effects on the autonomic nervous system aid the individual to actually avoid the asthmatic attack. Thus Sahaja yoga meditation has highly beneficial effects for asthmatic sufferers – whether done in conjunction with drugs or practiced as a complete remedy.
For One & for All Besides the above common diseases, Sahaja Yoga has been very successfully employed for considerable improvements in curing many types of cancers, heart disease, epilepsy & psychosomatic diseases. Many personal experiences of its practitioners have shown that Sahaja yoga meditation leads to a highly positive mental and physical state. It has also been associated with many so-called ‘miraculous' cures, but the only miracle has been the activation of the Kundalini energy – the divine mother, in the individual and his/her complete faith in it & Sahaja Yoga. It is ultimately the work of the Kundalini energy that nourishes and heals the energy centers in the body and awakens the super-consciousness of the individual. The positive psychological platform that is sustained with Sahaja Yoga practice leads to strengthening of moral values, which is also useful in combating AIDS. The unique gift of Sahaja yoga by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi to the whole mankind can be felt and actualized on the nervous system. Its healing effects transcend race, religion, class, age or any such barriers. It does not charge for healing because in Shri Mataji's words, no individual can be charged for what he/she already possesses. It is for us all to realize our self and awaken the potent source of healing power through which we can heal ourselves and even help others.

Practice sahajayoga in real terms
Our Holy Mother Mataji Nirmaladevi has time and again told us as to how we should we behave, act,relate, react and so many things in much simple terms. Still sometimes we find that many sahajayogis find difficulty to follow the principles in practice. It is great need that we sahajayogis to pay attention to Mataji, always thinks of her and her teaching while doing any act, then the result will be quite different.
I came across an interesting reading of one of the messages of Mataji Nirmaladevi, which is reproduced below for the benefit of all.
Today I must say something important for you all! Many times I told you to penetrate the essence of every thing. I would tell you different stories, teach you how to move in the right direction. I have done all that could be done, for your ascent! You were given all the instruments to be used for recognizing that direction. One of them is your attention. It is so important today! Illusions and temptations have always been chasing your attention. Many of you have learnt not to waste it on outward things. Many of you have managed it. But what’s happened!? Your attention is in Sahaja Yoga, no doubt, but strange as it may seem it’s lost! It’s soiled.
You waste your attention on your own dirt. Quarrels and squabbles are becoming norm. Having cleaned up the exterior courtyard you have entered inside the house – there is a mess in there, and you don’t have enough powers to clean up your own house. Whereas, you had to do it the other way round and clean up inside yourself first, create peace within yourself first, be filled with the feeling of brotherhood, and then help each other. No doubt many, many have become good children of the Mother. Many of you are patient and in peace, but it’s broken now. Why? What’s happened? The answer is simple – not everyone has become matured, not everyone has been learning My Lessons, imbibing My Knowledge. The years have passed, and what can I see now?! Squabbles, running for power and desires upon desires. You are still asking for something, whereas you must give. I am the Mother; I’ll fulfill your wishes, but you often ask for what you shouldn’t ask. You don’t have to squander your gifts. Crucial Desires are also already trifles; understand that! I tell you candidly, that everything has changed. Your Mother is the same, but She is already different. Look at Me, look attentively! But instead you are asking Me to come to this place, to come to that place. Is it so difficult to understand, that it’s already not necessary?!
I am in your hearts, I am within you! Look inside yourself, hear, penetrate, jump into the Sahasrara and meet Me there! I am telling you about real things, stop guessing about things. Everything is very simple. The Mother has never let your down, never! Yes, I could make you feel confused, but that was for your sake. I can often hear your thanks for the lessons of illusion. You have become so strong. world through that! You can only help your Mother through that!
The Mother never asks you to sacrifice yourself, but the readiness has to arise inside yourself. You must consist of that readiness. I only ask you not to waste your attention, not to lose it. If your attention only touches Me from time to time, you’ll never become a firm structure, see! You won’t be ready. It’s so simple to understand, as simple as that.
While talking about a book you have read, you don’t talk about the quality of the paper; you talk about the essence of what you’ve read. When you are doing a work in My Name, you have to be My Essence. You are spreading the Divine Essence! If it is absent, and you are playing the hypocrite, be extremely careful! The Name of your Mother is too Great, its every letter is great, every interval between the letters is too Great! You must understand this. I hope you understand it! Don’t be a mediator between Me and people, don’t take it upon yourself! It will ruin you, it can’t be forgiven. You’ve got many examples of that, how quickly you forget everything.
Earth is filling with love, heaven is filling with love. Only love will remain in the world, only love has the right to be here! So, who are you? What are you carrying? Look at yourself one more time, look attentively and confess to yourself. Don’t worry about Me, don’t worry. Your Mother is strong. I can feel everyone now, each of you – what your attention is touching Me with, what you are bringing Me! I repeat I can feel everyone who is turning his attention to Me! You’ve got a big responsibility at the moment. This responsibility is that you are responsible for your Mother’s life. Can you see it, can you understand it?! For your Mother’s life! I have thrown Myself upon your mercy, I have allowed you to guard Me and accompany Me. This test is surpassingly serious! You have to know that My hopes haven’t run out, and I am sure of you and I am very proud of some of you. I enjoy your beauty and nobleness! Some of you have become beautiful diamonds, beautiful ones indeed. It’s so pleasant to look at you! But you are few, very few.
Nothing is done without the Will of God Almighty!
Be Blessed!

Sahajayoga meditation - Inward Journey
Sahajayoga Meditation - Is a unique process, very simple, easy to understand and implement. If one does it regularly on daily basis , his inner journey will bring about total transformation, worth experiencing and enjoying throught the life.
Meditation is a state of consciousness which is beyond the mind. We cannot do meditation, we have to be in meditation. It is a state of pure awareness, where we are alert and fully aware, but without any thought. It is normally difficult to have no thought in one's mind, but our Kundalini helps us a lot to achieve this state effortlessly, once it is awakened through Self Realization. Sahaja Yoga enables us to achieve precisely that.
In a lecture delivered in Sydney in March 1983, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, founder of Sahaja Yoga, talks about man's seeking for this lost inner paradise of eternal happiness, and what is at the end of the journey.
The enjoyment of life is only possible if the world could get connected to the spirit… You become the Spirit as Christ has said in simple words that
you have to be born again
Divinity is not a fashion. It is the way of life. It is the need of your being.
You have to become that
"Now you all have realized by this time that within us lies the peace, the beauty, the glory of our being. There's an ocean of all that. We can not seek it outside. We have to go within - what they call "in the meditative state" [where] you seek it, you enjoy it. Like when you are thirsty, you go to a river, or you go to an ocean, and try to quench your thirst. But even the ocean cannot give you sweet water. So, how can anything that is spread outside give you that deep thing that is within you. You are trying to find it outside, where it does not lie. It is within us, absolutely within us. It is so simple because it is your own. It is within your reach. Just there. Whatever you have been doing - going out to find the joy, the so-called joy, so-called happiness, so-called glory of worldly powers and worldly possessions - you have to reverse it back, the whole thing. You have to project 'within yourself.' It was not wrong that you went out. You should not feel sorry for what you have done so far […]
It has worked in so many people, that you have entered into that subtler understanding. Some people are only at a mental level, maybe, doesn't matter. Maybe some are only at a physical level that they can feel it. Doesn't matter. But you are on the correct lines. You are moving correctly.
Try to meditate. Meditate more, so that you reach that inner being. And this inner being is the vast ocean of bliss which exists in every one of us. [It is] the vast flood of light, that floods everybody's inner beauty. So to approach it, you have to go "within" yourself - by denying things which are against it, against your movement.
Sometimes the wind can be very very strong for you to not understand that the glory of God is within - but turn back. Every movement remember, that your movement has to be inward. When you move inward, you forget the ideas of your outer glories […]
It is an individual journey towards God.
When you meditate and when you reach there, then you become collective. Before that it's an "absolute individual journey within". It's absolutely individual journey!
You should be able to see this; that in this journey nobody is your relation. Nobody is your friend. You are absolutely alone. 'Absolutely alone'. You have to move alone within yourself. Don't hate anyone. Don't be irresponsible, but in meditative mood you are alone. No one exists there. You alone. And once you enter into that ocean then the whole world becomes your whole family. The whole world is your own manifestation. All the children becomes your children. And you treat all people with equal understanding
The whole expansion takes place when you enter inside 'your' spirit and start seeing through eyes of the spirit. There's such calm, such peace, such bliss within you. You have to be ready for that journey. That journey is alone in your meditativeness. And the more you find something in your meditation, the more you want to go and distribute it to others. That has to be. If that does not come into you then it has not worked out; there is no purity; there is some sort of a bias. In that individual pursuit, whatever you find, you want to enjoy it with others, you want to give it to others. This is the sign of the person who has been really meditative. The one who has been meditative and has not been able to distribute what he has found is cheating himself and cheating others as well. Because that joy that you receive in your meditation has to be distributed. Has to be given. Has to be shown. It should flow in your being as the light radiates from every illumined lamp. You don't have to take a vow to say that this is an enlightened light. In the same way a saint should not have to be certified that he is a saint. The depth you achieve within yourself spreads all over. It is such an action and reaction. The deeper you become, the radiation is much more. [A] simple, very ordinary person, uneducated person, can be like that. We have you know, one gentleman called as Varick in Bombay. He is an old man, and is so deep. He radiates love. He's so meditative. You don't have to spend too much time on meditation. But whatever time you spend, whatever you gain, has to be visible outside - how you radiate and how you give it to others. […] Everyone of you has to decide for oneself."

We have to go within - what they call "in the meditative state" [where] you seek it, you enjoy it. Like when you are thirsty, you go to a river, or you go to an ocean, and try to quench your thirst. But even the ocean cannot give you sweet water. So, how can anything that is spread outside give you that deep thing that is within you. You are trying to find it outside, where it does not lie. It is within us, absolutely within us. It is so simple because it is your own. It is within your reach. Just there. Whatever you have been doing - going out to find the joy, the so-called joy, so-called happiness, so-called glory of worldly powers and worldly possessions - you have to reverse it back, the whole thing. You have to project 'within yourself.' It was not wrong that you went out. You should not feel sorry for what you have done so far […]
It has worked in so many people, that you have entered into that subtler understanding. Some people are only at a mental level, maybe, doesn't matter. Maybe some are only at a physical level that they can feel it. Doesn't matter. But you are on the correct lines. You are moving correctly.
Try to meditate. Meditate more, so that you reach that inner being. And this inner being is the vast ocean of bliss which exists in every one of us. [It is] the vast flood of light, that floods everybody's inner beauty. So to approach it, you have to go "within" yourself - by denying things which are against it, against your movement.
Sometimes the wind can be very very strong for you to not understand that the glory of God is within - but turn back. Every movement remember, that your movement has to be inward. When you move inward, you forget the ideas of your outer glories […]
It is an individual journey towards God.
When you meditate and when you reach there, then you become collective. Before that it's an "absolute individual journey within". It's absolutely individual journey!
You should be able to see this; that in this journey nobody is your relation. Nobody is your friend. You are absolutely alone. 'Absolutely alone'. You have to move alone within yourself. Don't hate anyone. Don't be irresponsible, but in meditative mood you are alone. No one exists there. You alone. And once you enter into that ocean then the whole world becomes your whole family. The whole world is your own manifestation. All the children becomes your children. And you treat all people with equal understanding
The whole expansion takes place when you enter inside 'your' spirit and start seeing through eyes of the spirit. There's such calm, such peace, such bliss within you. You have to be ready for that journey. That journey is alone in your meditativeness. And the more you find something in your meditation, the more you want to go and distribute it to others. That has to be. If that does not come into you then it has not worked out; there is no purity; there is some sort of a bias. In that individual pursuit, whatever you find, you want to enjoy it with others, you want to give it to others. This is the sign of the person who has been really meditative. The one who has been meditative and has not been able to distribute what he has found is cheating himself and cheating others as well. Because that joy that you receive in your meditation has to be distributed. Has to be given. Has to be shown. It should flow in your being as the light radiates from every illumined lamp. You don't have to take a vow to say that this is an enlightened light. In the same way a saint should not have to be certified that he is a saint. The depth you achieve within yourself spreads all over. It is such an action and reaction. The deeper you become, the radiation is much more. [A] simple, very ordinary person, uneducated person, can be like that. We have you know, one gentleman called as Varick in Bombay. He is an old man, and is so deep. He radiates love. He's so meditative. You don't have to spend too much time on meditation. But whatever time you spend, whatever you gain, has to be visible outside - how you radiate and how you give it to others. […] Everyone of you has to decide for oneself."

What is Sahajayoga and its main idea
Following is the extract of the interview given by Mataji Nirmaladevi describing in brief the Sahajayoga and its main idea and related things.
Question: Shri Mataji, what is Sahaja Yoga? I mean, what is the main idea of it?
TV Interview ORF (Vienna, Austria ’88)
Interviewer: Shri Mataji, what is Sahaja Yoga? I mean, what is the main idea of it?
Shri Mataji: Sahaja, Saha means with, Ja means born. Born with you. That is spontaneous. Yoga means Union with the Divine. Now, many people in the modern times won’t believe there’s anything like Divine. But supposing I say, “There is,” with an open mind of a scientist you must accept it as a hypothesis to begin with. Now, we have the Divine power, very subtle power everywhere, but we can’t feel it. With our human awareness we cannot feel it. With human awareness we also don’t know the absolute truth, we live in a relative world. So there has to be a breakthrough. And the breakthrough has to take place in our evolutionary process. And Sahaja Yoga is the method which gives you that breakthrough.
Interviewer: How does it do this?
Shri Mataji: Now, within us is placed – is a energy which we call as Kundalini in Sanskrit language, which is a residual energy in the triangular bone called as Sacrum also means sacred bone, so maybe the Greeks knew about it. It rises like a primule in a seed, passes through six centers and pierces through the last one here and gives you what we call as the Self Realization or real baptism – real.

It rises like a primule in a seed, passes through six centers and pierces through the last one here and gives you what we call as the Self Realization or real baptism – real. That’s what it is. And then, on your central nervous system – on your central nervous system you can feel the existence of this All pervading Power. You can feel all around you there’s Cool Breeze. And you can feel on your fingertips your own centers which are subtle and the centers of another person, which Jung has described that one has to be collectively conscious. It’s a happening that has to take (place) within ourselves. It is not mental, it’s not physical, it’s not emotional – it’s beyond that.
Interviewer: Technically how does it happen?
Shri Mataji: Technically, medically, we can say that human beings in emergency can use their sympathetic nervous system. But the parasympathetic system is the one which brings them back to normal. Like supposing you want to run – there’s an emergency, then your sympathetic goes into action, you run fast, your heart becomes very fast, and it comes to its normal state by the activity of the parasympathetic, which is in the center. When the Kundalini rises She nourishes this parasympathetic nervous system and you become in charge of that. You can handle your parasympathetic nervous system.
Interviewer: How do you induce or raise the Kundalini in other persons?
Shri Mataji: Kundalini. There is no technique about it, because it is a living process, it is spontaneous. It’s something like seed has to be put in the Mother Earth so it sprouts. It’s that simple. Even if you put your hands towards Me like this you can get your Realization.
Interviewer: This is a wonderful example, to place a seed into the soil, and seeing it – yes.
Shri Mataji: Yes, it’s spontaneous. It’s a living process.
It is a very simple, easy, well proven system of self improvement created and propagated by Mataji Nirmaladevi. Everyone shoiuld try to get benefit of it and spread it in the interest of the world as a whole.

Health Benefits of Sahajayoga
It is a very common and unique experience of Sahajayogis all over the world that with practicising sahajayoga on daily basis,results in physical fitness, reduction in stress level, balancing of mind and body, controlling blood pressure , diabetes and asthama also.
The only requirement is that one must have faith in Mataji Nirmaladevi and surrender to her with a request to bestow her divine power for healing various ailments you are suffering from.
Following are some of the observations on physical benefits of sahajayoga in various countries of the world.
Health benefits
Sahaja Yoga is considered across the world as a holistic approach to health care. There are countless cases where people practice Sahaja Yoga have overcome illnesses including Asthma, Cancer and aids.
As you practice Sahaja Yoga mediation, every cell of the body is nourished and rejuvenated, resulting in natural improvement in ones health.
One of many examples of how Sahaja Yoga has improved individuals health comes from Madrid. Doctors had given up on Emilia Moreno's condition of Polyarteritis Nodosa. She had lived in a state of semi-paralysis for 20 years - she could barely walk or use her hands. After attending the Sahaja Yoga health centre in Navi Mumbai for a couple of months, she wrote in her farewell note stating : "I was not able to balance and my eyesight was poor. Today I can walk and write and paint ... ."
Several studies are being currently undertaken in Australia, Russia, India and the UK to show the therapeutic effect of SY on several physiological and mental diseases and disorders. The studies so far published have shown that :
Epilepsy: Several months of Sahaja yoga meditation reduces the number and the duration of epileptic attacks in patients with epilepsy. It has also been shown to improve the clinical electro-encephalographic pattern of epileptic brain activation (Rai, 1993, Panjwani et al., 1995, Usha, 1991, Gupta et al., 1991 (link to Gupta), Yardi et al., 2001)
Asthma: Patients with asthma and with hypertension have been shown to significantly improve with SY meditation. The improvement relate to a significant reduction in the number of acute asthma attacks and an improvement in\ their lung function (Manocha et al., 2000, Rai, 1993, Chugh, 1997).
Depression: A study in the UK has shown that several months of SY meditation significantly reduced the depressive symptoms in patients with major depression, as opposed to control patients treated only with behavioral therapy (link to paper: Morgan et al., 2001).
Drug abuse: Sahaja Yoga meditation has been shown to have impressive effects on reducing drug consumption in 501 drug abusers treated for a year with Sahaja Yoga meditation at the University of Vienna. 97% of chronic drug consumers stopped taking drugs, 42% after the first week of meditation, 32% after the first months. (Hackl, 1995).
Diabetes and Menopause: As yet unpublished studies from Melbourne University in Australia have shown beneficial effects of Sahaja Yoga meditation on diabetes and menopause. Details will be available in the future

awareness while talking
All our life we talk and talk and go on talking various things to so many people. Here is a test given by Socrates- triple test, which will help us to understand what we should talk. If our talk cannot pass through this triple test, it is better to keep quiet.
Socrates’ Test
From the Divinesahajayoga Blog
In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in highesteem. One day an acquaintance met the great philosopher andsaid,
“Socrates, do you know what I just heard about your best friend?”
“Hold on a minute,” Socrates replied. “Before telling me anythingI’d like you to pass a little test. It’s called the Triple FilterTest.”
“Triple filter?”
“That’s right,” Socrates continued. “Before you talk to me aboutmy friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filterwhat you’re going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have youmade absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?”
“No,” the man said, “actually I just heard about it and…”
“All right,” said Socrates. “So you don’t really know if it’strue or not. Now let’s try the second filter, the filter ofGoodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friendsomething good?”
“No, on the contrary…”
“So,” Socrates continued, “you want to tell me something badabout him, but you’re not certain it’s true. You may still passthe test though, because there’s one filter left: the filter ofUsefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going tobe useful to me?”
“No, not really.”
“Well,” concluded Socrates, “if what you want to tell me isneither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?”
This is why Socrates was a great philosopher and held in suchhigh esteem.
Mataji Nirmaladevi also had time and again taught the sahajayogis to refrain from such kind of useless, harmful and derogatory kind of talk, which not only spoils us but also wastes our time and energy. Better we should think positive and observe self restrain in our own interest. Sahajayoga teaches to be balanced person who is guided by the holy mother Kundalini, which never allows to detract from the path of righteous thinking.
