Seeking the Truth within Posted: 05 Nov 2018 03:29 AM PST Please enjoy the following talk by the founder of Sahaja Yoga, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi:   “I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset we have to know what is the truth. There are so many seekers of truth in these modern times which has been predicted that there will be many people who will be seeking the truth now as ordinary householders. Their life will be completely transformed in these modern times. They call it in the Koran as Kiama. In the Bible it's called as the Last Judgment. Every religion has talked about these modern times as something very fantastic that our lives will be transformed. So what is the truth we are seeking? We should know what is the truth we are seeking. Firstly, we are seeking peace within ourselves. Secondly, we are seeking something we do not know, and that something is the Spirit within ourselves. Many scriptures have described that you have to seek your Spirit and many are preaching about it. But it seems they are not very Spirit-oriented. They are more money-oriented or power-oriented, and that is why the whole attention of a seeker is diverted and deviated into something which is not really divine. So what we are seeking is the Spirit within us which is the source of absolute truth, absolute joy and absolute self-knowledge. You have already heard about these different centers that are within us which are being built during our evolution as human beings. We have reached up to a point where still we have to have the last breakthrough in our awareness; otherwise, we cannot know the truth. At this human awareness it is impossible to know the absolute truth. If we had known the absolute truth there would have been no problem. Everybody would have seen the same thing. But there are so many ideologies. As you know, there are so many religions, so many types of preachings and also lots of false people. So, if you know the absolute truth then there cannot be another truth with it; it's singular. For example, I am sitting before you. You know I am sitting before you, all of you. There's no argument on that point… We have to have now the last breakthrough of our evolution. Once it happens you will be amazed that we'll know the absolute truth. There cannot be any argument about it. And also these centers that you know here are a mystery to you, but you start feeling them on your fingertips. That is Self-knowledge. These centers are responsible for your physical, mental, emotional, also spiritual being within yourself. So all your personality, the totality of it, expressed through these centers. These are subtle centers within us, and these subtle centers are sometimes exhausted because of our extreme nature. So this power which we call as kundalini – kundala means coils, which is in three and a half coils within us in the sacrum bone. That means the Greeks knew that it was a sacred bone; they call it sacrum. This power is actually your individual mother and she knows everything about you. She knows about your past and she knows about your aspirations. It's like a tape recording, I should say, of ages within you in this coiled power. It is like a primule of a seed. When you put the seed in the Mother Earth then it sprouts by itself, spontaneously. That is what is Sahaja. Is all built in within you and you have every right to achieve this state of selfhood, which is in the fourth dimension of your awareness, which we in Sanskrit call as turiya, is the fourth dimension. All this is within you. All this power is within you. You are built in that way. We have to understand that our Creator is the greatest organiser. See now, we have one channel here for people to come in. This is the channel which we have very nicely built up within ourselves, which in our evolutionary process has enlightened all these centers up to a point. Now this kundalini, this power, has to rise. I have read some books, some German books and things, where it describes that this kundalini awakening is extremely dangerous and it kills people, is fatal. Nothing of the kind. I have been doing this for the last twenty-five years. I never saw anybody getting sick even, but on the contrary, this awakening is so beneficial, so benevolent that when this power passes through all these six centers and pierces through this last center out of the fontanel bone area, which we can call the actualisation of baptism, actualisation, then all these centers get enlightened, enriched and this nourishment solves your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual problems. So the first truth about yourself is that, you are not this body, this mind, these emotions, this intellect, this ego, these conditionings, but you are the pure Spirit. Now we see all these beautiful flowers around us and we take them for granted. It's a miracle that these different flowers have bloomed out of a seed in their own different identity. Who has done this work? Who changes the seasons? Or if you ask a doctor, "Who runs your heart?" He'll say, "It is autonomous nervous system." But who is this “auto?” These questions and many others cannot be answered. So there is an all-pervading power of divine love which is doing all these miraculous things. Now you need not take for granted whatever I am telling you. We have had lots of problems with blind faith. But whatever I am saying, if it is proved, then as honest people you must accept. Not only accept but grow in your new awareness. Of course, you must understand you can't pay for it. How much did we pay to become human beings, and how much are we going to pay for becoming something higher? Once you realise that, that you can't pay for it, then you will drop out most of the false gurus and the false institutions who charge you for anything like that. Now this happening is very simple, spontaneous, works out. As I said, it's like a primule of a seed, this kundalini. When you put the seed in the Mother Earth it sprouts by itself. In the same way, it works. You can't explain. Can you explain how a seed sprouts? In the same way your primule, which is this kundalini, uncoils itself and passes through these centers and gives you your Self-realization. In Sanskrit is called as atmashaksatkara. For you it is absolutely granted. You don't have to go to Himalayas. You don't have to stand on your heads. You don't have to starve yourself. Don't have to pay for it. It is all there which is your own power. Only when it happens you realise your identity, you realise how great you are, you realise how the Divine is within you and which is expressing itself.” Talk on Sahaja Yoga by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Sydney, Australia, 22 February 1995 This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

Sahajayoga improving Mental Health. 

World Mental Health Day is observed on 10th October every year, with the overall objective of raising awareness of mental health issues and mobilising efforts in support of better mental wellbeing.

Improve mental wellbeing with sahajayoga.

Research in Australia and elsewhere indicates that Sahaja Yoga meditation can improve physical, emotional and mental wellbeing and reduce stress. Recent studies suggest that this meditation is unique even when compared to other forms of meditation. People who meditate regularly, using this meditation technique for about 20 minutes a day, may find they become healthier, calmer and much more relaxed, with an improved outlook on life. Illnesses and ailments can arise due to imbalances in the subtle system. Through Sahaja Yoga meditation, one can correct, balance and nourish the subtle energy centres. You can find out more information in this video.

Special programs are being organised at various places in Australia for generating awareness about benefits of sahajayoga in mental health along with physical health.

Shoe beating for discarding Negativity.

Shoe Beating:

Sahajayoga is mainly associated with cleansing of body and mind .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 Ganesha  - Lord of Muladhara Chakra

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jai Shri Mataji.  Jai shri Ganesha.

Mataji’s contribution to the Freedom Struggle of India

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

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

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

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

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

Jai Shri Mataji.

Experience Miracles with Sahaja Yoga.

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

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

These are miracles of very new sahaja yogis from Soweto.

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

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

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

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

Sahaja yoga  for healthy and stress free life

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jai Shri Mataji for your kind gift to the humanity.
