Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi about Mozart

"I had to come to Salzburg, they said what is Salzburg is a mountain of salt and who was that? Mozart. I had to come there because of Mozart. One man, one man like him has made such a tremendous difference to this country. See what he writes, how beautifully he feels; as if he’s died with Christ to see what Christ must have faced."

Easter Puja (Translated from Hindi). Calcutta (India), 14 April 1996.

Today we are doing Easter Puja. Today is a very important day for Sahaja Yogis because Isa-Messiah (Jesus) has shown us that redemption of human beings is possible, and for that redemption we should always put in an effort. There is also a meaning why He was crucified. He was crucified on the cross and this cross is a symbol of the Swastika on the Agya chakra. He was crucified and He left His body there only. He told some important things at that time and one most important thing out of this was “Wait for the Mother” – “Think of the Mother”. (Behold the Mother?)

Everybody can interpret it in a different way, but it seems He said that He will send for us such a shakti (power) who has three channels – Trigunatmika, and that is described very beautifully. One of these Shaktis/powers will give us comfort. This comfort-giving power in us is Mahakali’s power which gives us comfort, which cures our diseases, which corrects/solves many questions of our past. The second power, which He gave us, which He sent to us, was Mahasaraswati and to this Mahasaraswati Power, He called Counsellor, the one who will counsel you – that means, who helps us for Yognirupan (to see the form of Yoga). With the help of this second power, we will get Gyan (Knowledge), we will know the subtle knowledge. And the third power, (Mahalakshmi) with the help of which we will get our redemption...

HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi on the auspicious occasion of Shri William Blake's Birthday 

"It is such a pleasure today and great fortune that here where William Blake lived and he sang those songs of greatness, of the greatness of this country, the future that it has to be.  The dreams he saw have now come to shape, that we are here to celebrate his anniversary.  Things go beyond words and you can not express yourself.  Many people do not understand him, because he wrote it according to them in abstract language, or in language that he understood. But I am happy that Sahaja Yogis understand him so well, and the prophesies that he made about England. People use to ridicule him. Ridicule it.  Even today they can't believe that Jerusalem can be built in England." (HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi - Hampstead, London England - Nov 28th 1981)

"I knew who he was, what he is doing, why he was here. We do not know about him much, because from the books you can't understand who he could have been. He was an incarnation of Bhairavanath, that is whom you call Saint Michael, or Saint George who is as you know the Saint Angel of England. That is why he had to incarnate and for him this was his role to talk about Divine in an open fearless manner.  He had to use symbolic language. He had to use. It is not difficult to understand him at all if you're a realized soul. You'll read through it sometimes laughing, sometimes weeping, enjoying the whole drama what he is trying to express. When I read him I am amazed at his sense of humor, how he openly comes out with such remarks. I feel he is like Markandaya in India, or Kabirdas in India who slashed the whole society, with their sword all the time to see that they are brought to the proper shape. Without fear, but so gentle."  (HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Hammersmith, West London - Nov 28th 1985)

JERUSALEM

AND did those feet in ancient time

Walk upon England’s mountains green?

And was the Holy Lamb of God

On England’s pleasant pastures seen?

And did the Countenance Divine

Shine forth upon our clouded hills?

And was Jerusalem builded here

Among these dark Satanic Mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold!

Bring me my arrows of desire!

Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!

Bring me my chariot of fire!

I will not cease from mental fight,

Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,

Till we have built Jerusalem

In England’s green and pleasant land.

The poem was inspired by the legend that young Jesus, accompanied by His uncle Joseph of Arimathea, who was a maritime trader, traveled to the area that is now England and visited Glastonbury.An English sahaja yogini refererred that Shri Mataji told the meaning: ‘Those feet” are referred to the Holy Feet of Jesus Christ, and also the expression ‘Holy Lamb of God’ is referred to Jesus, because Shri Mataji had said that Jesus went to England and walked through the whole country.

Dr. Aparna Păun and Dr. Ovidiu Păun are Romanian doctors and sahaja yogis working at Noida Health Center in India, a hospital and medical research center using Sahaja Yoga method and treatments in curing all kind of diseases.

They were invited to a local TV show at WyllTV in Ploieşti, Romania, to make a presentation of Sahaja Yoga method. The experiment of Self Realization was also explained and lead by them and performed by the reporter.

This invitation came after a sahaj health camp was held in Cluj, Romania where the two Romanian- Indian doctors have been working.

Here is the recording of their presentation (in Romanian language)

Why this is important

Since 1970, H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi., travelled world-wide giving self-realization to all regardless of race, religion and offering free public lectures. Shri Mataji is the first and only one in the history of spirituality to offer the experience of self-realization en masse through Sahaja Yoga. Her teaching has benefited hundreds of thousands worldwide to experience the inner balance and health improvement, thus giving complete spiritual ascent.

Self-Realization awakens within us the primordial kundalini energy an innate spiritual potential. It is a spontaneous process and Shri.Mataji emphasized that this awakening, cannot be purchased. All the workshops of Sahaja Yoga are done absolutely free by the local volunteers all over the world.

In addition to Sahaja Yoga, which is now established in more than 100 countries, Shri Mataji founded a non-governmental organization for destitute women and children, several international schools teaching a holistic curriculum, health clinics offering free treatment through Sahaja Yoga, and an arts academy to revitalize the classical skills of dance, music and painting. 

Shri Mataji dedicated her life to Humanity- quietly transformed lives globally. She believed that it is every human beings birthright to receive their self-realization. Shri. Mataji passed away on Feb 23, 2011. To honor her noble work, we would like to declare her birth day March 21st as “Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Day”.

Please get your self-realization and pass this source of joy within all of us to others.

Thank you very much.

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi: The Dignity of Art

"Artists have to raise the public eye to their standards of taste; and not to stoop down to the cheap demands of the public, thus surrendering their freedom. This can be done by contacting of educational and social institutions, by the enlightened artists. Through articles in magazines and newspapers, the ideas of such artists can be propagated. Through dramas, films and radio talks, people can be educated for the understanding of real art. Thus the dignity of art can be maintained.

By coming into contact with the public at large through these societies, the social-self of an artist will develop into a keener and more sensitive being. It will react to the slightest unrest in the nation; to the slightest imbalance in the society. If he sees a leper on the street, his heart will go out with such sympathy that, through his art, he can create an atmosphere by which social workers, doctors, scientists, and the people in charge of the state will be forced to think of some solution to the problems of leprosy. If an artist finds his countrymen being unpatriotic or cowardly, he can, through others, create a deep respect in their minds. Such is the motivating power of an artist. They are the loveliest flowers of the creation, the sweetest dreams of the Creator, and the dearest parts of the human society.

Perhaps they do not know how they are loved, worshipped and followed by their spectators..."

(Mrs.N.Srivastava, extract from souvenir - India, 1961)

The Holy Ghost in European Art

El Greco: The Pentecost (1596-1600) Oil on canvas, 275 x 127 cm, Museo del Prado, Madrid

“SM: Sahaja means spontaneous. “Saha” means with, “Ja” means born; it is born with you. It is spontaneous; it is the living force. A living force that has made you a human being from amoeba; is going to make you the higher being where you become the Self. It is all… in every scriptures you will find they have described that you have to be born again. Every prophet, every incarnation has said that you have to be born again. And there must be some thing within us, which does that job, and this is known as Kundalini and was known to people – very few people I should say – in the ancient times.

Then in the sixth century, Adi Shankaracharya talked about it very clearly that it’s only the Kundalini awakening, the awakening of this Residual Power within us which lies in the triangular bone called as Sacrum, means sacred bone. Just imagine, that time they knew it was a sacred bone. That it rises and crosses all the subtle centers, pierces through the fontanel bone area and gives you your real baptism, your real birth, and you can also feel the softness of your fontanel bone area on top of your head. And this is an actualization. This is not that you can just pay some money or become a member, organize something. It’s an actualization and you can see the pulsation of the Kundalini at the base; the rising of the Kundalini and the breaking of the fontanel bone area which is called in Sanskrit as Brahmarandhra.

I: So you are saying this is what… Spirit inside us, which you call Kundalini?

SM: No. Spirit, this is the Holy Ghost, and the Spirit is in the Heart. Spirit is the reflection of God within us.

I: So it’s not the Spirit. It is a live force?

SM: This is the force that is the pure desire to be one with God; that is within us all the time, dormantly lying. It only manifests when it sees, or gets instruction, or is handled by a person who is authorized by God. Not by any institution or anything, but by God. Such a person Himself is a realized soul. It is like one enlightened light can enlighten another light. It’s very simple.”

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in a Radio Interview, Sydney (Australia), 31 March 1981.

Happy Makar Shankranti!

"Today is the day where we celebrate the change of the axis of the Sun and that He moves towards the tropic of cancer. Tropic of cancer is the one which represents the motherhood, the motherhood of the earth.

This tropic of Cancer has passed through quite a big area of land while the tropic of Capricorn has not. And the area through which it has passed it has created different beautiful manifestation of the motherhood qualities on this earth. We celebrate this change because the Sun has now moved into the new dimension so that all over the world there will be the warmth of the Sun.

Warmth of the Sun represents the warmth of God’s love. This is the reason why we celebrate this festival by giving you some sort of a sweet made out of sesame seeds. Sesame seeds are given because they are also heat giving and now as we are coming from the cold, we come to the hot season in a way, hotter season, so to prepare you with that warmth of the Sun these special things are made out of the seed of sesame to represent the oncoming warmth and the warm of the sun.

Though in India the heat is too much, still people are waiting for this time to come in and they celebrate it with such a warm heart. At this time it is said that they give you this sesame seed and the sugar to eat, but now you must speak in a sweet manner, “god godbola” means you must speak in the sweet manner."
