You have to become Absolutely Dharmic

 

I am happy to learn you are celebrating Guru Purnima on 1st July. It is very hard to be a Mother and a Guru. Mother is the Guru of Gurus. Mother has to be a Guru to her children but She does not perform this duty the way the Guru does. She reduces the distance between Her desciples and Herself by treating them as Her children her own part and parcel. But, Oh! my children, you are really born out of my Sahastrara. I conceived you in my heart and gave you the new birth through the Brahmarandhra. The Ganges of my love has carried you into the realm of collective consciousness. This love of mine is too great for my human body. It nourishes you, soothes you and gives you security. Gradually it opens your awareness to bliss and joy. But this love also corrects you and prunes you. It guides you and directs you. It reveals itself in the form of true knowledge. It absorbs your shocks and settles you like a gliding leaf on the hard surface of truth. It strengthens you to fulfil your aspirations of reaching spiritual heights. After all what is the Guru principle? It is that aspect of this Divine Love that guides and warns, which gives you the dos and don’ts. Because if human beings fail, they become Rakshasa and Danavas, which is a fact. All your ancient scriptures are singing praise of the incarnations as Gurus. Dattatreya, the three fold innocence that guides the path of Dharma. There are ten basic Dharmas of human beings. They must be guarded, respected and are to be identified with tadatmya.

There is no compromise but human intelligence gives ideas by which human societies have gone into horrible conditions. They play of mind takes us to sin and we become insensitive to sin. Today I want you to resolve that you all will become ABSOLUTELY Dharmic. It is hard to be a Dharmic. The society and the environment forces you to be Adharmic. You are born in innocence and later you go on compromising and accepting Adharmic patterns as normal.

For a Sahaja Yogi, it is difficult to be Adharmic. If he tries to do a wrong thing, he is corrected by the vibrations. But if you go on killing your awakened conscience you are free to do so and kill all your chances of ascent. One aspect I would emphasises this time. “Do not commit Adultery” Christ went further to say that, “You should not have a adulterous heart or mind because you are self realised. Your behaviour pattern moves from inward to outside. Introspect yourself. Do not confuse your lust with ‘Love’. I have heard prostitutes singing the love song of separation. They are the ones who create the agony of separation for a Gruhalaxmi and act as the oppressed. Be careful you are not acting and playing the games of Adultery. The sin becomes subtler and subtler with sophistication. Respect your marriage institution. Women have to be Gruhalaxmis. Firstly she has to be dedicated and completely fidel.

Secondly she is to be worshiped like a Gruhalaxmi. This is the double meaning of ' '. The word ' ' means the one who is worshipable and is also worshiped. In Sahaja Yoga you have to forget the past as you have been bathed with Divine Love, like a newly born baby. Purity of heart expressed as fidelity in marriage for both husband & wife is the most enjoyable virtue and is the most powerful. When you understand the purity of relationship, you enjoy them the most. You do not confuse your sensitivity to joy. Your mother is a mother and wife is a wife. Here in the West, it is all becoming a confusion. Very young girl are marrying old men and vice versa. It is all the game of money. If you have too much then stupidity becomes the pattern of the society. They become so blind that they call it Love. This stupidity is very very dangerous. Beware of it. Steady your attention by keeping your eyes on the Mother Earth. Thus you get the loving bandhan of your Nani and you become free of enslavement to your lust.

May be some of the marriages are not alright but exceptions should not create a mass disturbance. They should suffer it for the masses. Once the citadel of virtue starts tumbling down, the whole building of Sahaja Yogis will tipple down, and who can suffer, but this mind which does not touch you who is a witness. Enjoy the tragedy of your life as a witness and think of what image you create for others to follow. Realise what is the role of a Sahaja Yogi in this disturbed self-destroying world? Thus arise into new role. There are other ‘Dharmas’, all very important, meditate on them. I find my love reflected in your shining dharmic eyes.

With all my blessings to you all,

Yours as ever, always remembering your all

Your Mother

Sahaja Yoga very effective in problems of addiction of alcohol or anything and also in reducing blood pressure

 

following is the text from = Press Conference and scientific discussion, Mumbai (India), 13 January 1990, wherein number of senior doctors all over the world participated and explained the benefits of sahaja yoga in different ailments. 

Shri Mataji:

Now, I would request Dr. Wells, who is in charge of seven hospitals in London, has, is luckily with us and he will tell you how he has cured patients with sahaja yoga, who suffered.

Brian Wells:

Shri Mataji – good afternoon ladies and gentleman, my name is Brian Wells. I’m a consultant psychiatrist in the Riverside Health Authority of London and I sub-specialize in the field of substance misuse which is problems with drugs and alcohol. I’m going to be very brief. My own experience in sahaja yoga began in 1982 and I was very skeptical, I was a very cautious Westerner who was very wary of things that were Indian and I have to say that since 1982 my own life is changed dramatically as a result of the albeit originally very gradual practice of sahaja yoga and my own health, my own career, my own well-being has improved enormously. Professionally, I work particularly with heroin addicts. I have to say that I have never seen heroin addicts improve, give up drugs and experience a well-being and a joyfulness like the people who we have in sahaja yoga, who come into sahaja yoga and they give up their drugs and experience a whole different way of living, a whole different attitude which is based on these very fundamental principles as taught by Shri Mataji.

It’s not a form of treatment that is widely used in the West but it’s beginning to spread. Similarly a number of people in sahaja yoga had very serious alcohol problems when they arrived. These people are now completely alcohol free, living very balanced, very normal and very spiritual lives. My own addiction to nicotine was terminated gradually as I came into sahaja yoga and I found that gradually it became unnecessary to smoke cigarettes and it became important to be healthy, to be the right weight, to be a balanced person, to be married, with children leading a normal, healthy life. My own interest in human well-being have moved beyond addiction and I’ve been very fortunate in being able to travel to Finland and to the United States this year largely to present the work of Dr. Deepa Chugh that has already been referred to by the professor. In Finland we presented his work at a Physiology conference which was full of very skeptical Western Scientists who were interested in atoms, molecules, enzymes and I stood up on stage and the audience thought I was a little bit crazy talking about sahaja yoga and it’s affects on hypertension but as I talked it became clear that actually the results of sahaja yoga are very spectacular indeed. The people who practice sahaja yoga, after sixteen weeks were on no medication at all and their blood pressure had come down from a very high and dangerous level to a very acceptable level and the people in the audience had to notice this and came up afterwards and were impressed and as a result of their suggestions, Dr. Chugh is now publishing his work in the international medical press. A few weeks ago, I was in Boston and I presented this work again at a huge conference of American Chest and Cardio-thoracic medicine and again we stimulated a great deal of interest because as Professor mentioned a lot of people are now interested in ways of treating blood pressure, treating chest diseases with methods that do not involve the use of medication and sahaja yoga is something that’s considered unusual by many Western trained doctors but the results that Dr. Chugh has achieved are indeed very spectacular and we have now a number of very eminent researchers in United States and in Europe who are interested in comparing the effects of sahaja yoga against drug treatment and against other forms of realization therapy.and So from my own standdpoint, sahaja yoga is the best treatment I know for addiction of all kinds whether it is addiction to drugs, to alcohol, tobacco, to food or to other forms of behaviour. It’s a system of becoming balanced, – becoming healthy and becoming whole. Thank you for your attention – Thank You Shri Mataji! –

HOW TO CELEBRATE FESTIVALS

 

Nothing is rigid. Rigidity comes from ignorance. It’s all for you, for your joy and happiness. The whole festival system is for your happiness and not for the happiness of the time or date. It’s for you, so it should be adjustable according to your needs and understanding. And also according to the national way you live.

They should be no addiction to any particular type of culture, a particular type of ideas. It’s all for you. All these festivals are for you, not for gods. They don’t have these festivals. It’s only for you people these festivals are there. And when you celebrate them, that’s only for your joy and your happiness. And that’s how you should celebrate in a way that gives you the greatest amount of happiness. And the festivals, all the festivals of the world must be celebrated. The more you are festive, the happier it is. Why miss the chance, you see.

So, as a Sahaja Yogi, you don’t belong to any particular caste or community anymore now, you belong to universal caste. Once you start belonging to the universal thing, then you can celebrate all the festivals of all the religions. And have the best of it. All the year out, you can celebrate all the festivals. Know about them, the more you know, the better it is. And have all kinds of sweets, whatever you use, whatever type you use, in whatever areas and countries and cultures. And that’s how we have to be more festive.

Sahaja Yoga is the Last Judgement

 

“Sahaja Yoga is the Last Judgement.”

Today’s subject is the relationship between Kundalini and Kalki. The word kalki actually is an abbreviation of the word nishkalanka. Nishkalanka means the same as My name is, which means nirmala — that it is a spotlessly clean thing. Something that is spotlessly clean is nishkalanka, without any spots on it.

Now, this incarnation has been described in many Puranas: He will be coming on this Earth on a white horse, in a village of Sambalpur, they call it, Sambhalpur. Is very interesting how people take everything so literally. The word sambhala means: bhala is this forehead, sambhala means “at that stage”. That means Kalki is situated on your bhala. Bhala is the forehead, and here He is going to be born. That is the real meaning of the word Sambhalpur.

In between Jesus Christ and His destroying incarnation of Mahavishnu, called as Kalki, there is a time given to human beings to rectify themselves, for them to enter into the Kingdom of God. Which in the Bible is called as Last Judgement — that you will be judged, all of you will be judged on this Earth.

The population of the world is the maximum, they say, because all those, practically all those who had aspirations to enter into the Kingdom of God are born in the modern times and are going to be born very soon.

This is the most important time because Sahaja Yoga is the Last Judgement. It is fantastic to hear this, but that’s a fact and is the truth. Though you can understand that Mother’s love makes it very easy for you to get to your Realisation and that the whole story of Last Judgement, which looks such a horrifying experience, has been made very beautiful and very tender and delicate and doesn’t disturb you. But this is the Last Judgement, I tell you, and you all are going to be judged through Sahaja Yoga, whether you can enter into the Kingdom of God or not…

You must Worship Shri Ganesha

 

“Are you really worthy of Shri Ganesha’s pujari?”

These days people have become extremely cunning and they don’t mind any amount of cunning. They play all kinds of cunning games on others who are innocent and simple. They can justify themselves always, that whatever they are doing is the right thing in these modern times when everybody is so cunning. This cunningness can take you to the other extreme of right side, which is very much punishable, in the sense that some people develop all kinds of problems which are physical, you can say. Like, their hands can get paralyzed or their leg can get paralyzed. Also they can have other troubles with their liver treatments and all that. All this comes up. Then to punish them, a disease of a psychosomatic nature might set in.

At this time, when you have these problems, all such people who suffer from the right side should worship Shri Ganesh…The only thing that keeps you in the middle, in Sahaja Yoga, is Shri Ganesha’s puja, Shri Ganesha’s worship, by which you can always be in the centre. All these diseases of the right side can be cured by Shri Ganesha’s puja. You must worship Shri Ganesh.

Now there are various ways people worship Shri Ganesha, but there’s only a simple way: is to remember Him and sit before His photograph and take vibrations from Him. That’s the best way you can balance yourself. There are so many worries, there are so many struggles you have—all this can be neutralized by Shri Ganesh. He’s, though innocent, He is extremely clever, and when He comes to your help, you are amazed how He works it out and how He removes all the hurdles and all the worries from you…

As I have told you, ganas exist within us, very nicely settled down as these bodies – small, small bodies – who report, if there is any problem, they report to the brain that there is a problem. And on the sternum bone is the residence, or we can say is the throne of the Goddess Durga. So whenever there is any problem, we are found into some trouble, the sternum bone starts vibrating and these bodies, which are ganas, get the information. “Antibodies” they are called in the medical terminology. Then these ganas attack. They can target also. They know how to target the trouble and attack it.

One may think that only the people who are suffering medically are helped by ganas – is not true. Also the people who are mentally upset, who are mentally suffering are also helped by the ganas. These ganas are so good at targeting their problems that sometimes one is surprised how things have worked out. ..

It is really very remarkable how the protection is given by Shri Ganesh and His ganas. So we must respect His ganas. It’s very important, is to see that they are all around within us, they are acting within us. They see us, what sort of person you are, and in case you try to dislodge Shri Ganesha by your misbehaviour, they try to see that you again go back to normal. They give you a chance many a times, but even then [if] you go on with your cunning and ideas about your ego, you are very badly hit by Him. And that is the biggest, I should say, calamity for you people.

.. So that’s how any idol you get from the shops need not be worshipped. It’s not to be worshipped: any idol whatsoever. So whatever is not there, we should not worship because it’s made by somebody who has very bad vibrations, who is a cheat, who is very cunning and thinks no end of himself. With such a person if you buy a Shri Ganesha, it’s going to harm you, it’s not going to help you. You can have it for decoration in the house but not for worship. There is no photograph of the real Shri Ganesha so far.

There are eight Shri Ganeshas who came out of Mother Earth. I have seen them. But in those places, the pujaris – the people who are the priests – are horrible, horrible people. I went to one of them and he said, “I am getting asthma, I am getting paralysis. How is it I am worshipping Shri Ganesha, my forefathers have worshipped the Shri Ganesha, and how He is doing this to me?” I said, “You just introspect yourself: what kind of a life you lead, what do you do, are you really worthy of Shri Ganesha’s pujari?” And then he realized it. I said, “I will cure you now. It’s all right. But afterwards you see to it that you become an innocent personality. Try to lead an innocent life, not of outwitting another and being very cunning and clever.”…

Worship Ganesha in formless form

 

He(Shri Ganesha) is formless he has no shape. So first of all the form of Sri Ganesh is formless, people worship him in form. But Sahaja yogi should know what is the aim of our life?. What do we want? Have we achieved that? Have we fulfilled our destiny? Why did we come to Sahajayoga.?..

What is our wish? The same thing comes again that to which Ganesh you worship in the form today has to be worshipped in formless form. We have to get him inside us, we need to make him reside inside us. It is not that you go, offer flowers, worship him and worship Gauri also. Their energy you should feel inside. We can make our attention and language also pure and can give to others also. As you were made by giving self-realization in the same way Ganesh was made. There is no difference; it is made in the same way. So when you worship Ganesh, raise yourself to formless. Why are you running behind form only?..

Sahayogi should think whatever we do, we have to do that in formless. You are not going to be formless, being in form you have to be formless. Then only you will be a medium. Radio is better than you. One person made a radio by hand and gave it a connection so the song could be started. Radio does not throw dust. So whenever we have to get Ganesh we have to be pure and activate him inside. We don’t have purity inside us. First of all purity in our own original things is needed.

The main thing of Sri Ganesh is to purify your attention, the method of purifying your attention is to watch where your attention is. If your attention is on Paramatma it is pure. What is the use of that attention if it is roaming here and there, you can not receive knowledge because Chaitanya is flowing on attention only. Whose attention is pure just by putting attention the work is done. Some it is also not necessary. The last aim to get is this Chaitanya, without getting that why are you drawing your attention on useless things?

If we want to establish Ganesh in ourself we put attention on “nirakar ,” formless and Chaitanya.

Shri Ganesh seat is in mooladhar but when he comes in heart he becomes chet. Spirit in itself is Sri Ganesh. When he gives light to us from heart he becomes chaitanya. There’s nothing to be said for one who keeps Shri Ganesh in heart. He is always in Niranand. Neither he knows other things nor he cares. He does not think about anything. Riddhi siddhi comes to his feet. It is experimentally proved as you know about me. Now I have become Riddhi Siddhi and running behind you. But everyone has the time You shouldn’t move away from your aim.

H H Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Shri Ganesha Puja 18 sept 1988 Mumbai

All Natural Catastrophes are brought by Vishnumaya

 

“ All natural catastrophes are brought by Vishnumaya. “

So this Vishnumaya shows Her strength. She does lots of things by which people are frightened. She can enter into any, any element. She can permeate. Supposing She enters into a water element, She can create a typhoon. She can create any kind of disasters. She can enter into Mother Earth and She can create a earthquake. She can do anything because She has a power to enter into anything. You know that She can enter into Mother Earth very easily. She can enter into water very easily and when She gets into it, She becomes the catalyst. And all these problems that you are facing today in America are because of left Vishuddhi, because of Vishnumaya.

Vishnumaya, who is the thunder, we can call, who is the electrical charge, which is liberated by the friction of these black clouds, which actually is a catalyst for rain. It’s a catalyst for rain. This starts acting on such people, that is, they suddenly get a shock. They become extremely sensitive people. They get nervous and this nervousness can make, makes them think “Why are we nervous? What is the problem?” Like the exposure of their guilt comes through the Vishnumaya Power….

She is the announcer of the incarnations. She is the announcer of something good that is going to happen to you. Also, She’s the one who can burn things, which are not spiritually all right…

one of the most powerful Shakti is this of Vishnumaya because She plays the illusion. She creates the Maya also. Also She breaks the Maya and She can burn anything. .. Her burning gives you the feeling that if there’s an electrical charge, as if burnt with electrical charge…

In Sahaja Yoga, specially, to feel guilty means all your left side is caught up. You cannot feel the vibrations properly because this is the cervical nerve on which your guilt is sitting and it’s just clamping it, you cannot feel the left side. You start catching on the left side till you receive some sort of a horrible disease, then you realize.

The subtler part of this Vishnumaya is that She knows the truth. When She shines you can see everything out of Her. Even for a short time, She exposes in the darkness everything. In the same way, when Vishnumaya starts acting on you, then She exposes the truth to you. But supposing you continue with your left Vishuddhi too much, then She just disappears. She’s not there to correct you, to help you in any way or to expose you. Then you don’t feel anything. You become numb on the left side, absolutely numb on the left side and the left side is, know, is the indicator of all kinds of left side diseases. This is one of the reasons that we have the maximum number of left-sided diseases in the West than in India. Indian diseases are from right side while the left-sided diseases come from this left Vishuddhi. So to feel guilty, itself is wrong and is a mythical thing…

This is Vishnumaya’s doing and She’s the one who is the corrector. She corrects. Don’t feel guilty, face your problems. It’s, sort of, when we hide our mistakes in the name of guilt, when we try to camouflage it, She’s the one who exposes it on individual level, on collective level, on national level, international level, because She can permeate into anything. And this permeation of Hers gives Her such subtleties, but people cannot relate disaster to their mistakes, they cannot. They don’t understand why such a disaster has taken place, what has happened.

There was a big typhoon that came, came up to a point and suddenly turned towards Kauai. Now what was the reason for that, to go and hit Kauai? In Kauai there is a Swayambu of Shiva. It’s a fact. People are making money out of it, quite a lot of money and deceiving people. There’s big business going on in the name of Shiva. So Kauai was hit, not Hawaii so much as Kauai and it turned suddenly, no one can understand that.

So all these thundering things that are coming from nature, anything, whether it is earthquake or it is landslide or it could be floods or it could be typhoon, anything is the work of this Vishnumaya or we can say all natural catastrophes are brought about by this Vishnumaya. She has this power to do it. This is the only way they can shock people. ..

First of all, you must face yourself. If you start facing yourself, you’ll realize that you have committed a mistake. “So this is the mistake I have committed. Doesn’t matter. I am not going to feel guilty about it. If I ever have to do this, I will not do it and I’m not guilty for whatever has happened. It’s the past. Finished.”

With this faith in yourself, you can definitely get rid of your left Vishuddhi. ..

I would say all our left side problems come because of Vishnumaya power. She punishes you, as well as She exposes, as well as She gives you light, as well as She corrects you…
