Shivarati and Shiva Pooja in Sahajayoga.

With the Blessings of Mataji Nirmaladevi thousands of people get self realisation, awakening of kundalini almost every day all over the world. Through different centres world over, this process of spreading the light of sahajayoga for the benefit of human beings is continued freely. It is the experience of many that through the vibrations they realise the super power, the god within themself, the reality of life and become their own masters.

Inspite of getting self realisation some feel down. What is the reason. Mataji Nirmaladevi has rightly explained the cause of it in one of her address that it is lack of dedication on the part of seekers. She expects complete dedication .

Shivarati has a special importance for the sahajayogis.  This day is dedicated to the Lord Shiva. All his powers are manisfested on large scale on this day. Therefore there is a practice in India that people visit the temples of Lord Shiva and offer Water, cold Milk, white flowers, and Bell= the green leaves of the tress of Bell. Lord Shiva is particularly the God living in Forest or at a very remote places in the world like Himalaya.   Kailas is refered to be the abode of Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva liks Bhasma. He also likes the white flowers having fragrance and so these are too offered to Lord Shiva. He also like flowers of Dhaturra, seen in wild places in India.  LOrd Shiva likes white colors and so clothes of white color are offered to Sadashiva or Lord Shiva.

Mataji Nirmaladevi has taken many sakar poojas in the form of Lord Shiva at different places of the world.  One can find the messages of Mataji Nirmaladevi on You Tube channel for various shiva poojas. Mataji herself was the Adishakti. She was herself the incarnation of Mahalaxmi, Mahasaraswati and Mahakali.  Lord  Shiva is believed to have given all his powers to his wife Parvati ( Adishakti) or also known as Mahakali.  Mahakali has done the work os destruction of Demons.

Jai Shri Mataji.- Shambho Karuna Kara, Jaga  Jagava Shambho. 

Sahajayoga during Pregnancy

Advice during Pregnancy by Mataji Nirmaladevi

Mataji Nirmaladevi has taken care of all her disciples.  She has always given advice about the behavior of the women during pregnancy.  Pregnancy is the most important period for any woman.  In every branch of medical science or religion there are specific rulesor conducts prevailing for the betterment of the pregnant woman and the child to be borne.

Following are various advices given by Adishakti Mataji in her talks at different places of the world.

1.`It is recommended that the pregnant mother should not seat in front of the image or photo of Mataji in her first three months of conception.

2. Meditation has great positive impact on the physical and mental level of the pregnant woman and the child in the womb. It helps to maintain internal balance which is of great importance.  Wandering of mind needs to be avoided.  The more calm and quiet one is the more benefits it offers.

3. Pregnant woman has to take as much rest as possible.  Running here and there all the time in pursuit of something else is not fair.  Movements are not restricted but those should never be on the extra side or over running type.  More hectic life and running all the times create blood cancer in the child to be borne. Pleaseavoid it for yourself, baby and interest of the family.

4. Reading of good literature may be of the religion you believe can be beneficial.  Similarly one can listen to the talks of Mataji Nirmaladevi or hear the bhajans of Mataji.  It has good impact on the mind and body.

5. Avoid too much thinking.  Avoid futuristic Planning during pregnancy.  It all has adverse impact on the baby to be borne.  Let the future be unpredicted, unknown, and left to the wishes of Mataji.  She is always with us to take care of it.

6. The most important advice given by Mataji is to avoid seeing the lunar eclipse.  Never see lunar eclipse. She always explained that it has the effect of making the baby mentally and physically weak, retarded, having abnormalities and various health problems from the birth.  So please take care not to see lunar eclipse at any cost.

7. If any pregnant woman is attending the havan ceremony never seat direct in front of any havan.

Jai Shri Mataji.  Mataji would always take care of you and your baby.

Relieve Stress with Sahajayaoga

Sahaja Yoga for Stress Management 

Every human being is living a day to fulfill his wishes, his goals, his aspirations, expectations of family from him, expectation of society from him and such other elements.  It naturally results in stress.  The level of stress depends upon the person, his temperament, how much he thinks about the goal, is he optimist or pessimist etc.  The same given situation provides different levels of stress to each individual.  Hence we need to distress ourselves.  

The normal stress seen is with regard to business growth, life of unemployment, failure of marriage, bankruptacy, promotion results, transfer in service , loss of life partner and so many such circumstances.

We forget to understand that every result is the outcome of various factors involved in it including physical activity, resources, opportunities, rivalry, competition and like those.  We alone are not responsible for the result, still it requires great courage to tell this to self, our relatives and family members.  If we are following the dictats of outsiders, the stress is bound to be more. We are directly responsible in such situation.

Sahajayoga helps to prevent stress disorder through reducing sympathetic dominance.  By having equilibrium in sympathetic and para sympathetic nervous system  we can get rid of stress levels.
By Awakening the kundalini, the divine energy present in every human body, lying dormant at the base of the spine  we can get equilibrium of two nadis in our boy- right nerve and left nerve- Ida and Pingala,  You can learn how to acquire this self equilibrium in any sahajayoga centre.  Once your right side and left side nerves are balanced and your kundalini raised from Mooladhar to Shastradhar chakra , you attain peace of mind. You experience cool breeze.  You get rid of any stress, fear, dispute from your mind.

So practice sahajayoga for stress free life.

Shri Ganesha and Sahajayoga.

Shri Ganesha is the most important diety of hindus.  He has got the importance of prominance. He is worshiped before starting any other pooja or good work.  He is starting point of any divine act.  By his presence and blessings every act becomes possible, easy, attainable without much troubles.  He is also known as Vighna Harta i.e the one who defeats all ill wills, difficulties, problems surrounding any divine act.

Shri Ganesha is the diety associated with the Muladhar Chakra, the first one in the series of chakras in our body , at the bottom point. His power is innocent. He is the most innocent.  Hence can bless us with love, affection, care, his soothing power, his intellect, his fighting spirit - if required. 

Mooladhar chakra is the basic charkra. The wisdom, knowledge, creativity, physical and mental power of the person largely depends upon the activisation of the Mooladhar chakra.  The one whose mooladhar is clear by the blessings of Adishakti Mataji Nirmaladevi, is always successful in his or her business, profession.  It plays an important role in one's youthfullness and also health.

we can pray Lord Ganesha for giving us all his love, to enable us to foget every ill will, to give us power of pardon, to enable us to become as innocent as he is.  Once it happens , the life changes automatically.  We are not worried, we are not afraid, we do not have enermies, we do not bother about criticism.  We know what we are, we can realise our own power and its manifestation in our act and deeds.  

Hence Mataji Nirmaladevi had time and again tought us to first cleanse our Mooladhar chakra and then raise the kundalini from Muladhar to Sahastrar chakra.  

We are greatly obliged to Mataji Nirmaladevi for her profound love and care for all the sahajayogis.  
Jai Shri Mataji. 

Benefits of Sahajayoga in Ailments

Sahajayoga helps overcoming various ailments

Sahaja Yoga meditation has proven effective in addressing various medical ailments, including asthma^[, epilepsy, and ADHD. 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, resulting in purifiation. 

Sahajayoga marriages are the unique in many ways. Mataji Nirmaladevi herself started this with great vision of human mankind.  It established vibration based search for life partner, and conduct of marriages in a very religious manner.  No money power, or muscle power in marriages. It is complete divine unity of two persons , two souls for their own betterment and also the world at large. 

Amongst the countless blessings showered upon us by our Divine Mother, Shri Mataji, we have been blessed and nourished by the establishment of Sahaj marriages. Through the creation of these subtle and beautiful relationships, She has not only given us the deep and loving companionship for the journey of our spiritual ascent, but has also created with each marriage the establishment of a force which both subtly and overtly works for the establishment of dharma and the founding of a new, enlightened society. She has also brought about the integration of the races and cultures of the world, to create a broader mutual understanding and appreciation of the beautiful variety of the Divine creation that is humanity.

With Her loving attention, Shri Mataji created for us a marriage system which involved a beautiful play of surrender where if we could surrender the marriage to Her, She blessed us with the person who would best complement our nature and give both parties the best chance to grow as yogis. Shri Mataji oversaw the selection process that would follow for many years, but She also trained a number of people in Her approach so that one day this process could continue without Her physical presence. With Her guidance on a selection protocol based on a balance of vibrational compatibility as well as practical common sense, standards were set for the approach to this holy and auspicious work, which led ultimately to the formation of an International Marriage Committee (IMC).

Today the IMC consists of a group of twenty people from around the world, a number of whom were trained directly by Shri Mataji in the process of arriving at appropriate matches. This group works with tremendous care and dedication and with an awareness that their work impacts the lives of Sahaja Yogis very profoundly. Being from diverse countries, their perspective is global and they have been carefully recommended as having has high vibrational awareness in order to ensure they can properly feel the right matches based on vibrations. Their goal is that they should receive Shri Mataji’s guidance directly in the case of every match through their vibratory awareness. The results of the IMC’s work can be seen not only in the many flourishing Sahaj families who have been married by the IMC around the world but also in the level of trust and confidence which is placed on the committee by the global sangha.

As the sangha grows and reaches further into the various countries, it is becoming increasingly necessary to perform marriage ceremonies around the world. While matches are done by the IMC centrally, matched couples finding it difficult to travel to Cabella in a given year may choose to go through the ceremony at a later, more convenient point in time. They may also choose to first get a civil marriage and marry in Sahaj rites later. This happened at the time of Mother and was fine for Her.

Unfortunately, we have heard of instances where certain marriage committees and local committee members tried to exert influence on the outcome of the matching process, allowed favoritism/nepotism to take place or brought in randomly selected members of the sangha to check the vibrations of matches. This never took place under the guidance of Shri Mataji and should never happen today. Having been built on the foundation of direct guidance from Shri Mataji, the IMC can provide the confidence among candidates and the global sangha that the matching process and the marriage ceremony itself are conducted in keeping with the traditions established by Shri Mataji, with objectivity, impartiality and a dedication to vibrational integrity.
The IMC cannot provide any assurance in the marriage process where the marriages are held without their involvement, and we have seen examples where marriages arranged by other means caused confusion among young Sahaja yogis as to the maryadas of the process and created doubts in the institution of Sahaj marriages in general.

For all of these reasons, we feel it important that all of us allow the International Marriage Committee to provide that stability and security of a globally understood and trusted process, which can be supported by the efforts of the entire sangha to help our young people along to the point in their lives where they understand the depth and significance of a marriage in Sahaja Yoga, and trust the process by which they will enter into the beautiful experience of a family life which not only brings them joy, but contributes to the transformation of humanity. We would therefore encourage participation in the marriages arranged by the IMC, for the good of the collective and all of the marriage candidates around the world.

With love,
The members of the Central Committee

You get your wholesomeness Posted: 01 Jul 2019 06:40 AM PDT Please enjoy the following Sahaja Yoga talk by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi which took place on the 24th July 1979 in Caxton Hall, London.   “I say in Sahaja Yoga you get your Self-realization. No money is to be given or taken. As a by-product, you get your health alright. Of course your material things also are alright. Many things improve as a blessing of Sahaja Yoga. But the real thing that happens to you is that you get Self-knowledge. You get Self-realization. That there is light enlightened within you, and you start seeing yourself, your centers and the centers of others because you also get contacted with the whole, you get your wholesomeness. This is what Sahaja Yoga has to offer to you and if you want to have that, please have it. The rest of it is just a by-product, because if there is a light you do not falter, you walk straight. You don’t say, “My legs improved because there were lights.” No. “My eyesight improved because of my light. Because there were no light there was a problem.” As soon as there is a light everything becomes alright and you start understanding the whole, you know how the whole thing is and you start walking straight and you know where to sit, and what is the chair and what is the person. This is what you are seeking, then you are a seeker and you are a true seeker and you are to be blessed and it’s my job to see to it that you reach there. You get your own powers, not of your guru but of your own. And that you understand yourself you get your Self-knowledge and the knowledge of the whole. But if you are not that, my children, I am sorry, you are still a baby in the seeking, you have to still grow more, and grow more, and then you come to me when you are grown enough. Otherwise it’s a headache to work on a person like that, or to give them Self-realization or anything whatsoever. They are using sometimes Sahaja Yoga for curing people. You do get cured, no doubt. Even cancer can be cured with Sahaja Yoga. It can be. It can only be cured by Sahaja Yoga. That’s the point in it. But again it will come back to you. We cannot promise, guarantee anything. Unless and until you rise in Sahaja Yoga and become the master of Sahaja Yoga we cannot guarantee. You may get back the disease again. Why should God not have a sense of giving for something as you have? He loves you, no doubt. He wants to give you because He loves you, but if you are wayward and if you are prodigal by nature, why should He continue to give you is a simple question that you should ask yourself and then ask for realization, you’ll get it. After getting it also there is a period of doubts because first you get thoughtless awareness, which is called as Nirvichar Samadhi. When we say awareness in the normal terminology, it means alertness to anything is awareness. But when we say samadhi it means enlightened awareness. You get thoughtless enlightened awareness. And then you get doubtless enlightened awareness. The stage between the two in some people is so little that they just are there. I have some people here who just got it and are there. They don’t pass through these two stages. But there are mediocre and there are also absolutely bullock carts I would call them, they cannot move with the time of the jet. In these modern times, imagine a bullock cart being pulled by a jet – big problem. But if you are of that calibre and that quality you get both the stages just like that. There is no doubt after that. But then there are some who get into doubts. I don’t know what they doubt here. They had the experience, they feel the vibrations coming, they see cool breeze flowing through them. They see it working on others. They see the pulsation of the kundalini, the rising of the kundalini. They’re getting better in health and everything improving. Still they are doubting and wasting their time. And everything is delayed, their cure is delayed, everything is delayed because of that. Alright, so we have here jet planes, we have here supersonics, we have missiles, and we have also bullock carts. See, it takes lot of things to make this world, isn’t it? And so I take everything. All right. With all my love I engulf them. But I would request you not to slow your progress like that. What are you doubting is the question, that I do not want anything. If you are paying for something, then you should doubt it. You are not paying for anything. What are you doubting? What am I to gain from you? But still so many of them sometimes come and tell me, “Mother, now we are doubting.” I say, “Alright, go on, when your doubts will be over, you do come and see me.” That's how it is. I would request you to try to tell your mind that you have done all kinds of things. You have been to all sorts of gurus. You have been to all sorts of nonsensical books and you have been to all kinds of doubts. Now settle down for a while. Settle down. Tell your mind not to mislead you, and get it. This is your own; this is your own property; this is your own right to be there. So get it, and if any doubts are coming, tell them to wait for a while.” HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

You are seeking your fulfillment Posted: 01 Jul 2019 06:40 AM PDT Please enjoy the following Sahaja Yoga talk by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi about seeking your fulfillment.   “Those who go to gurus and say, “Mother, will you please give a job to my son,” then you don’t know what to say, you should say to such a person, “Now my child, you are not yet fit, you are not yet mature to come down yet.” Or if you go to someone to ask for, say, a diamond ring. Or anyone says that I give diamond ring in the name of God, and you are quite satisfied with such an answer, then you are no good as a seeker, no good. Useless for Sahaja Yoga specially. Or somebody who says, “I will cure you” and for curative you go to someone – alright, the person may cure you, but you are no good as a seeker. Why should God cure anyone who is not seeking God? I mean, why should I repair this instrument if it is not going to carry my voice? Or else some of you, if you go to a guru, and if he tells you a story like this, that you have to pay me some money for this, because if you don’t pay me money you cannot be involved into this kind of a thing, you better slap such a guru on his face and tell him that “What do you think of me?” It’s complete indignity to your seeking. He wants to involve you through taking money from you. Can’t you see that he is insulting you by saying that you are such a materialist, that when you give me money then only you will be attached to seeking of God? Just think of it. All such arguments people give you and if you accept them and if you follow such gurus you cannot mature for seeking. As you have to be genuine, you have to be wise to understand that you are seeking your fulfillment. You are not seeking money and diamond rings and these tomfooleries that are going on and you are not there to witness them and these foolish magical tricks of people, but you are going to witness the magic of God. Then in the seeking also you must know that if God is the universal being, anybody who professes that we are the chosen ones and nobody else can be a chosen one or he was the only prophet and he was the only God and because you belong to some organization, it is nothing but absurd fanaticism and ugliness. Do not deceive yourself. Please try to understand: self-deception will never be forgiven by God. Amoeba, does he deceive himself if he sees the food there, does he? Or a lion or even a frog, it has such a little brain. It understand what it is seeking, Will he deceive himself? But human beings deceive themselves morning till evening. We have to seek God. We have to seek our fulfillment. We have to relate to that wholesomeness that is God, the primordial being. The whole of it, this is what we have to seek. You are created for that. If you study a little foetus in the womb of the mother, you will be amazed that the whole of the foetus is looked after by the navel cord from the mother, and though all the portions of the foetus are not yet fully developed as to get connected with the brain completely from the very beginning, still through one channel it is fed, looked after, managed. Then the child is removed from the mother when the child is born, and gradually all the sensations and co-ordinations of all these different sensory organs and organs of motion and organs of automatic functions are created gradually, very gradually, as he starts growing. But once the connections are established, a human being starts acting. On his own the whole body acts together; it knows when it is pinched. Here in the finger the whole body knows that you are pinched, the whole knows about what has happened. The whole connection is established. It’s a living process, it’s a growing process which works out. But with human beings there is a very big problem. The biggest problem I would say that they are always identified with imperfections, with wrong ideas and only in the human being these things happen, that’s why one has to be careful. Dog can smell better than you do, and it knows what to eat, what not to eat. You don’t know. You don’t know what is a real guru and a dirty guru and horrible guru and a vicious man. You cannot make out. Somebody runs out of the jail, he wears a dress, comes to England, “I am the guru” – great, and thousands will be running. They don’t know and the more he has, the better it is. But there is a way. God has already placed that within yourself. For your growth he has placed within you, only He is testing your genuineness but if you are so obstinate as to stick on to some misidentified nonsensical things you cannot work it out. Be free from all these things, open out yourself. You all have to be aware of the whole. You all have to get Self-realization. Though by that, God will feel His fulfillment of His creation, no doubt, and He has to do it, He will do it, but He’ll have to work very hard. And still and still if you do not accept the truth, then the truth will be expressed, no doubt, but then, the untruth has to be destroyed. And at that time, those who are identified with untruth will be also destroyed. Before that, take heed to your wisdom and know what we have to seek? We have to seek our wholesomeness, which we have partially expressed in our political and economical and social clubs. All this has to be integrated, all the great religions which have been propounded in the growth of human beings, which have substantially helped in the growth of human beings, which are the substratum of their living, has to be integrated in that habit. For example, I meet supposing a Hindu, then he says, “Mother, how do You talk of Christ? We don’t believe in Christ.” Now you are a very great person not to believe in Christ. Who are you not to believe in Christ? What do you think of yourself? What do you mean by saying that you don’t believe in Christ? Do you know it is blasphemous to say such horrible things about any great incarnation on this earth?” There are some who say, “We do not believe in Moses, or in Guru Nanaka or in Mohammed-Sahib.” Who are you? I don’t believe, I don’t believe. What is your belief? On what it is based? Why do you say such things? What do you know about them? Did they ever say that, for example, when Christ came did He say that Moses was wrong, did He say so? When Nanaka came, did He say that Mohammed was wrong? Did anyone of these great saints say so? Then who are you to denounce them?” HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now
