Spreading Love

Mataji Nirmaladevi, the visionary on this planet is spreading the words of love, compassion, brotherhood,human dignity and thus trying to transform the world by transforming single individuals. It is happening all over the world. People who come in contact with her, who get opportunity to know about sahajayoga,and learn and practice it realise the betterment of their spirit and individual awakening. Mataji always cultivated love and affection in human hearts. She always advised tobe honest, sincere, compassionate, loving and caring while acting and reacting with anybody and everybody.

She had taught the sahajayogis to forgive everybody. She claims that forgiveness has great power. I personally feel that it is the most difficult thing to do in life, but with the blessings of Mataji I am also learning to forgive others, irrespective of their behaviour. It is utmost essential , Mataji says, otherwise you get involved, in hatred, jealousy and all such things, negative thinking about those people, which harms you personally, perhaps unknowingly. The feeling of retaliation can disturb you from within and you always loose balance of mind, peace of mind and get entangled with all these evil feelings. So first and foremost thing is to forgive everybody, even our worst enemies for our own interest. As the Jesus has said on Cross that " Please forgive them, they do not understand what they are doing ", like that Mataji also spreads the message of forgiveness.

Mataji's vision of Loving World - Following words express the visition of Mataji Nirmaladevi to transform this world in to World full of Love and all inmates also full of love in their heart.
Let us all help Mataji to transform this fighting world into loving world.

Mataji's vision -

"This is the one, started already! My vision for Sahaja Yoga is that all the good people, righteous people, God-loving people will rise above all that is useless, worldly, and reside in the Heavens with all the blessings of God, for ever and ever."
"My vision is that these right actions and the appropriate reactions will bear their fruit of a very beautiful world of brotherhood and peace, which will be worthy of its enlightenment".
Self-realization is the key to achieve the global transformation
"When the Kundalini flows into you and fills you up with vitality, you become extremely dynamic and at the same time extremely compassionate, kind and mild. You feel that you are protected and thus you are confident but not egotistical. Your whole personality changes. This is the kind of global transformation which is taking place with such a speed all over that I, myself, am surprised at how it is working out so fast.
Actually, this knowledge existed a long time back but my contribution, if there is any, is that we can now achieve en-masse Realization. Thousands can achieve mass Realization. It is a gift of this time where it was predicted that such a global transformation will take place. The power of Kundalini is the pure desire of attaining your self-hood. If someone doesn't want to have it, you cannot force him because the Divine respects the freedom of that person".
The enlightenment takes place
"Self-realization can be attained easily if the people have a sincere and pure desire to get their self-realization. It works better for people who are wise, who are more in the center, and it works very fast. Thus you become very powerful and at the same time you understand that you are now glorified and you start behaving in a very dignified and a very sensible manner. This is how a new culture is born and this new culture takes you, in a way, into a new style of life where you become innately righteous.
Nobody has to tell you: "Don't do this" and "Don't do that". It is all achieved through your enlightened attention. This enlightened attention is also full of power. Wherever you put your attention it works, it creates peace, it creates harmony and also it creates a new dimension of collective consciousness."
The truth of Sahaja Yoga is spreading out tremendously
Pure love will bring a new beginning
"Love should have no fear. It should have just free love, without any fear, without any aggression. Enjoy that pure love. And that is what is missing in the human beings today as it is.
When the day will come when human beings will understand the beauty of love, then from the heavens there will be flowers falling on us.

It is my vision. It’s the future for you, to see how peacefully you can talk to people, how sweetly you can love others, how much you can give to others.”

This global transformation will definitely happen
"With your good wishes, with your prayers, this world will be so beautiful, so enchanting that, in the history, people will describe that the world itself became a lotus full of fragrance of divinity. You are the petals, you are the corona, you are the color, you are the beauty, you are the pollen of that beautiful lotus, which is my vision of this world."

Seven Chakras and Energy within Us

Every human being has been gifted with so many unknown things in our body. It includes bascially three nadis- Ida, Pingala and Sushumna- which are located at the Left, Right , and Centre of our body. There are also Seven chakras in our body.

For the kind information of everybody the short information of all the seven chakras in our body is reproduced below.

Inside every human being there is a network of nerves and sensory organs that interprets the outside physical world.

At the same time, within us resides a subtle system of channels (nadis) and centers of energy (chakras) which look after our physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual being.

Each of the seven chakras has several spiritual qualities. These qualities are intact within us, and even though they might not always be manifest, they can never be destroyed.

When the Kundalini is awakened, these qualities start manifesting spontaneously and express themselves in our life.

Thus, through regular meditation, we become automatically very dynamic, creative, confident and at the same time very humble, loving and compassionate. It is a process which starts to develop by itself when the Kundalini rises and starts to nourish our chakras.

Mooladhara Chakra

The first chakra is situated below the sacrum bone in which resides the Kundalini, and its main aspect is the innocence. Innocence is the quality by which we experience pure, childlike joy, without the limitations of prejudice or conditionings. Innocence gives us dignity, balance, and a tremendous sense of direction and purpose in life. It is nothing but simplicity, purity and joy.

It is the inner wisdom that is ever present in the little children, and gets sometimes clouded by our modern lifestyles. But it is a quality which exists eternally within us and cannot be destroyed, waiting to be manifest as pure joy when the Kundalini rises.

Swadishthan Chakra

The second chakra is the chakra of creativity, pure attention and pure knowledge. It is the one which connects us to the inner source of inspiration, and enables us to experience the beauty around us.

The pure knowledge given by this chakra is not mental, but it is direct perception of the Reality, that can be felt in our palms and indicates our subtle blockages. Also this is the center of pure, steady attention and power of concentration.

On the physical level it looks after our liver, kidneys, and the lower abdomen. When we think too much, this center gets drained of energy and diseases like diabetes or blood cancer can occur when this chakra goes completely out of balance.

Nabhi Chakra

The third chakra is the one that gives us the sense of generosity, complete satisfaction and contentment.

On the left side, the main quality of this center is peace - clearing this chakra can relieve stress and tensions.

On the right side, it looks after our liver which is the organ of our attention and power of concentration.

When enlightened by the Kundalini, the Nabhi chakra gives us our spiritual ascent, righteousness and inner sense of morality, and complete balance at all levels in our life.

The Void

Surrounding the second and the third chakra is the Void which stands for the principle of mastery (guru principle) within us.

In many spiritual traditions, this area is the "ocean of illusions" that needs to be crossed with the help of a spiritual guide. When the Kundalini is awakened and passes through the Void, this principle of mastery is established within us.

Thus, as Shri Mataji says, in Sahaja Yoga you become your own guru, your own spiritual guide since you can feel on your fingertips all your subtle problems and have the power to cure them using your own Kundalini.

Moreover, establishing this center helps us get rid of all our habits, laziness, gross attachments, and everything that enslaves us in a way or another: we become our own master.

Following false "gurus" who are more interested in power tricks or your purse can damage very much the Void area. But after Self Realization, everything can be cured through the purifying power of the Kundalini in meditation.

The Heart Chakra or Anahat Chakra

The fourth chakra, the chakra of the heart, is the place where resides our Spirit, our true Self, which is eternally pure and unaffected by anything, like a shining diamond hidden within us which witnesses all our actions.

After Self Realization, our attention becomes for the first time connected to our Spirit and we gradually become aware of it. Our misidentifications with our ego or conditionings drop and we start becoming identified with our Spirit, which is our true nature.

On the physical level, this chakra looks after our heart and lungs - if affected it can cause asthma or various heart conditions.

It is from our heart that the compassion and love manifests, and also the heart chakra is the one that gives us the sense of responsibility and pure behaviour towards others. The heart chakra manifests in the center (at the level of the sternum bone) as complete security and confidence.

All our worries, doubts and fears are destroyed when the heart chakra is fully enlightened by the Kundalini.

Vishuddhi Chakra

The fifth chakra is the chakra of diplomacy, of pure relationships with others, and of playful detachment.

It removes all our guilts and remorses when it is opened by the Kundalini, and gives us a kind and compassionate voice. The tendencies to dominate others or to feel dominated by others, the feelings of superiority or inferiority and all jealousies are removed when this chakra is nourished by the Kundalini.

Also, the Vishuddhi is the chakra which gives us the connection with the whole, enabling us to feel our oneness and the fact that we are all part and parcel of the whole.

The Agnya Chakra

The sixth chakra is the chakra of forgiveness and compassion. Forgiveness is the power to let go of anger, hatred and resentment and to discover, in humility, the nobility and generosity of the Spirit.

It is the one that dissolves all our ego, conditionings, habits, false ideas of racialism, and all our misidentifications. It is the narrow gate which opens the way for our consciousness to ascend to its final destination, which is the seventh center.

Roving eyes, watching impure things, or self-centeredness damage this chakra. Watching the sky, earth or nature can help cleanse it.

The Sahasrara Chakra

The seventh center integrates all the chakras with their respective qualities. It is the last milestone of the evolution of human awareness.

Nowadays, we are at a level which corresponds to this chakra, and our consciousness is able to easily enter into this new realm of perception, which is beyond our limited mind and concepts, and which becomes absolute at the level of the Sahasrara.

This chakra gives us the direct, absolute perception of Reality on our central nervous system.

This is precisely what is achieved by Self Realization, through the spontaneous awakening of the Kundalini given by Sahaja Yoga.

By the kind gesture of Mataji Nirmaladevi this important live system is made known and opened for all those who wish to learn Sahajayoga and pray to Mataji to offer them this wisdom. Lakhs of people all over the world have taken benefit and through awakening of Kundalini got self knowledge and became enlightened soul.

Know about Sahajayoga, practice it and benefit it, freely all life all over the world.

Laugh at your Ego not fight it

Mataji Nirmaladevi by helping you awaken your Kundalini, imbibes the godly spirit or values and puts you on righteous path. Quite often in her lectures she has well guided human beings as to what to do and what to avoid. Many peoples have ego problem, which makes them stumble and fight over smallest issue. It makes them argumentative and results in loss of peace in and around area. So if we can learn to overcome the ego problems, many of our problems in life can be solved emicably.

I have come across a wonderful lecture given by Mataji Nirmaladevi on 22nd October,1979 in London. Following is the extract of it-

Now how to overcome this ego, because people start seeing, gradually this, it happens. They start seeing Mr. Ego, “oh very great, you see it’s coming up, giving me ideas, alright”. You feel sometimes very depressed with the idea that this is Mr. Ego I was identified with. Alright? You see your ego. Then when you see your ego, then what do you do with it? Or if somebody says “Better watch your ego” then what happens? You start fighting it. You say “No… I will not say anything, I will just keep quiet! Let them say anything whatever they like”. Then you become another type. You become a person who is suffering from super-ego. So you are left with desires but do not act, and you’d say that “let others aggress me, I’m not going to aggress anyone, I’ll be very careful about not-aggression.” But by this kind of a thing, what happens that when you raise the left side, I mean left side which goes up on the right hand side – super-ego, it presses the ego down but again is bounced back and there’s a kind of a bouncing going on. By this behavior when you fight your ego the ego sits on your head much more. The more you try to fight ego it sits on your head. You are not to fight it. Supposing you take a balloon and start hitting it, it will hit you back further. Go on hitting it, it will go on hitting. Now which is the way to deflate this ego? How do we deflate a balloon? In the same manner, take a pin and give it a prick. You just look at yourself, say “Alright Mr. ‘So and So’, now, how do you do?” and you laugh at yourself, you say “Oh you were very unhappy you see when you saw that you were not placed very much, alright, now have a pin from me!” And that’s how you deflate it, by seeing it by all the time making fun of it, yourself, and piercing a pin into it. Not by deflating, in the way people say that you deflate the whole thing by pushing it down, or by killing it, but actually just, making a hole in it, in the same way if you start looking at yourself… and make fun.
Human beings only know very well how to make fun of themselves, no animals know that. If you learn how to make fun of yourself your ego will go down, otherwise this ego will suggest “Whatever you are doing is the best, this has to be done, that has to be done, I am the best, I am doing everything good”, and you might be torturing someone, aggressing someone, you might be just playing into the hands of ego like a madcap, and you might be a real madcap but you don’t know that you are. Because with ego a person becomes successful so-called, he becomes very brilliant, shines out, in competition he comes up, and nobody dare say a word to him otherwise he’ll have punch on the nose, you see. So also he becomes very mighty and powerful, and everybody hankers after such a behavior and such a thing. But, a time comes when he realizes that “I was hanging in the air. I forgot my basis, and now I have to come down”, like Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall and they had a great fall. Such a beautiful ryhme this thing is, written long time back. And all the Kings horses and all the men, could not put Humpty Dumpty back again, into it’s own shape you see? So don’t be Humpty Dumpties, and don’t live with that idea of being a Humpty Dumpty, is a simple thing to fight your ego and that happens very often in Sahaja Yoga, is a very common happening in Sahaja Yoga, where your Kundalini itself, you see, creates such situations, that you are flabbergasted at your ego.

Sahajayoga- effective treatment for stress and psychosomatic disorders

Number of researchs and studies have been conducted to testify the claim of utility of sahajayoga in lowering the stress. I have come across a research paper on the study conducted in United States on the subject. I would refer to only the conclusion part of the thesis presented on this study.

Conclusion -

After reviewing literature on the subject, I have discovered convincing evidence that Sahaja Yoga Meditation could be considered as effective medicine for the treatment of stress. I have also found that the treatment of stress could be considered as a means for treating psychosomatic diseases; and that anxiety, depression, work stress, hot flashes, hypertension, asthma, and epilepsy are among those treatable diseases. The data included in this thesis from Sahaja Yoga trials with psychosomatic diseases was gathered from research that was quite limited. It is important to consider the fact that the trials conducted for research were with small numbers of participants and for limited periods of time. Another important aspect to consider is that none of the researchers involved in the studies claimed to have complete expertise in the Science of Sahaja Yoga. One of the outstanding barriers to the use of Sahaja Yoga in a clinical setting is the fact that the Science of Sahaja Yoga is a spiritual experience. I would assess that much more diligent research is needed in order further understand the possibilities involved in using Sahaja Yoga as medicine (Manocha et al., 2003; Rai et al., 1993). My investigation in Sahaja Yoga led me to the hypothesis that Sahaja Yoga Meditation could be useful as medicine. Moreover, the literature shows that Sahaja Yoga Meditation could be considered effective for the treatment of stress and therefore the treatment of psychosomatic diseases.

Stress Management with Sahajayoga Meditation

Stress has become part and parcel of our present day life. Stress is reflected in the form of fear, anxiety, worry, anger, apprehensions and so on. It creastes unkonwingly emotional imbalance within us and leads us to react to any given situation in quite abnoral way. It is observed world over that continuous stres leads to many ailments like headache, indigestions etc.

Consistent stress is considered harmful - physically and mentally also. To overcome stressful situation, one of the wonderful gift to humanity is the " Sahajayoga" by Mataji Nirmadevi. In the process of Sahajayoga kundalini is awakened and what follows is a choice of righeous path in life. It teaches us how to avoid stress, and how to act and react without fear and favour.

Number of reserach studies have been conducted on this issue and it is proved beyond doubt that Sahajayoga meditation can help eliminate stress. Following changes were observed in sahajayogis during meditation and reflected in Electrical Brain Activity.

Electrical Brain Activity-

Electroencephalograph (EEG) reports indicate the following changes in the brain activity during Sahaja Yoga meditation:
1. At the initial stage, on commencing meditation, the alpha brain wave pattern increases, which creates a sense of relaxed awareness.
2. As the meditation progresses the brain activity shifts to long chains of low voltage theta activity signifying deep physiological relaxation as is attained during deep sleep states.
3. And, during a very deep meditation state, the EEG pattern again changes and this time bursts of high efficiency beta peaks occur.I

t appears from all these studies conducted that the human nervous system begins to function in an entirely different way after the Sahaja Yoga meditation practice. Some other dramatic changes clearly reported are:
1. Oxygen consumption decreases within 5 minutes of starting the meditation.
2. Heart rate and respiration rate also decrease.
3. Blood lactate concentration, which is associated with high states of anxiety, also reduces.
4. Adrenalin, which correlates with high blood pressure, drops.
5. The galvanic skin response is a measure of the activity of the sweat glands. This is related to the sympathetic nervous system that regulates the level of tension or relaxation. The Sahaja Yoga practice increases skin resistance thereby significantly reducing tension.
Dr. D Chugh at the Lady Harding Hospital, New Delhi, has conducted these experimental studies.

Sahajayoga- Medical Benefits

The physical ailments are taken care of by sahajayoga. Sahajayoga,established and propagated by Mataji Nirmaladevi also helps overcome physical problems of differnt nature and dimensions.

Sahaj Yoga as rediscovered by Mataji Nirmala Devi aims at achieving holistic health care for people. The science focuses on awakening the dormant primordial energy (the Kundalini), whereby a flow of subtle cool cosmic vibrations in the body is achieved which nourishes and rejuvenates each and every cell of the body. Says Dr Umesh Rai, director of International Sahaj Yoga Research and Health Centre, "As a result of meditation, which is the basic aim of Sahaj, the body manufactures certain fluids which have curative powers, which help in overcoming the most severest of ailments."

with the advancement of the medical sciences, infectious diseases have been wiped out and heart and kidney transplants are quite successful, scientists have yet to find an answer for the treatment of psychosomatic diseases which are on the increase in the developed as well as the developing countries. Some such diseases are hypertension, migraine, bronchial asthma, epilepsy and others.

"The doctor of today practicing modern allopathic medecine has entered a stage of superspeciality whereby they appoint separate parts of the body to be treated by a specialist. Due to this approach doctors are not able to view disease as a disturbance to the whole organism. They treat a particular part of the body without taking into consideration the psychological and social aspects of the patients illness".

For yoga to be more relevant today, it needs to touch both the physical and mental aspects of health, which is encapsulated in the Sahaj Yoga. This science " Sahajayoga" borders on all that which one is born with," says Dr.Rai

The dormant primordial energy is present in every individual in three and a half coils in the triangular bone called "sacrum"- The Kundalini, at the base of the spine. When this gets activated on doing Sahaj Yoga, it ascends and activates one's six subtle chakaras and piercing through Brahmarandhra, it unites with the all pervading cosmic energy."And with this actualisation in the limbic area of the brain, subtle cool vibrations start flowing from both palms and the top of the head. In this vibratory awareness, while one can feel what chakaras are blocked, on the other side one can work out the correction of these chakaras to cure different diseases.

International Sahaja Yoga Research and Health Center, Mumbai has treated patients from all parts of the world, who had given hope of recovery after trying all sorts of modern medical techniques and treatements. At last they came and joined sahajayoga- and cured themself at this International Sahaja Yoga Research & Health Cengtre,Mumbai.

Following are the two representative experiences of patients at this Sahajayoga centre at Mumbai.

Doctors in Madrid had given up on her condition of Polyarteritis Nodosa. And Emilia Moreno lived in a state of semi-paralysis for 20 years - she could barely walk or use her hands. And yet, after spending a couple of months at a health centre in Navi Mumbai, 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 ... ."
"Man in his search for joy and happiness is running away from the Self, which is the real source of joy. Now a method has been found to tap the Divine power, and this is called Sahaja Yoga."
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi (founder of Sahaja Yoga
And there are others like her. There is 48-year-old Shirley Ellerbee from New York who has been here for the past two months and thinks she has been cured of her condition of breathlessness. "The doctors in New York suggested operation for my weak heart. But I am rather cynical about modern medecine and chose to come here for cure.I used to be breathless even while living in suburban New York. But after about a couple of months here I actually feel much better," says she.

It is better to believe the well experienced and researched practical, easy, free meditation technique of Sahajayoga and get oneself free from all worries- physical as well as mental.
Jai .Shri Mataji.
