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.

Shri Mataji about Cucuteni-Trypillian Culture

"So the wisdom of these people really was very striking to me. Now, another third thing, which I discovered, is even much more deeper than this. When I went to Ukraine, I saw some very nice paintings done with a very aboriginal sort of colours. So they said “Mother, this we had before the Christians came here”. They showed me a magazine in which there was a photograph of the Primordial Mother and they called it “Aditi”, that’s Sanskrit, we too call it “Aditi”. Can you imagine ? Then they said, “this culture existed before the Christian aggression came in”, and there were paintings there of Mooladhara Chakra in different ways, and also of Agnya Chakra, and the way they were talking about all this, even in the magazine, I was really surprised. They said that “all this was published, we have books on this, but because of the church it was all said it’s all nonsense, there’s nothing like this. But the best part I saw was, the picture of the “Aditi” and there was a Kundalini in her stomach, or stomach (ulopa?) and was shown going upward like that. I said “look at this culture these people had”.

Then they said, “We had relations with India, and they were Arians and we were also Arians and we used to meet them”. So I thought, Machindranath and all these people had gone to the north of India, they might have come to this Ukraine. And they said that, I mean the whole thing was traced to, Ukraine name came from “kuru” and all kinds of things were traced in Sanskrit, all this, I was amazed. What a culture they had, in what culture they lived. It’s something you know, unbelievable. While in India, there are many people who don’t know what is Kundalini, if you tell them Kundalini, they think Kundalini is horoscope, especially in the north, they have no idea of Kundalini. But here are the people who have really had lived in a culture for thousands of years and they said this was before Christ, 3000 years, can you imagine, before Christ 3000. So, we too had civilizations in India like, (Harappan) and all that of that time. But they said that India is the source of spirituality. That magazine, I was amazed at it and the way it was done, and the Mooladhara and the Agnya Chakra and all that, so well. Maybe they must have seen it, they might not have got realization but they talked about realization and also achieving selfhood, this was so many years back. But then they said the Christian religion came and they told us it’s all nonsense, have nothing to do with it. As they told me also in Greece, that they had Athena, and the Primordial Mother and all that, but they said no Mother, nothing, better stop it. So it was all cancelled and nobody looked at it. But can you imagine, that so many years back it existed in that Ukraine, such a beautiful culture of spirituality.

The first time I went to Ukraine, we had people there, there was the Chernobyl, you know that there was a big explosion and they were all – like somebody had his fingers cut out or they were attached to each other, or somebody had boils all over the body, somebody’s nose was turned like that – horrible looking – like lepers they were, all of them, those who came to the program. But then this time, more than this were the people there in Ukraine, I must tell you, much more than here, the whole hall was full, the three tiers were full, the passages were full, and still the people outside were standing. They said, we were the ones who suffered from this, and now look at us, we are completely cured. You won’t believe I never touched anyone, I was there only once, they came to my program and they got cured. So this sensitivity that they had. I used to wonder why these Russians and Ukrainians are so sensitive to spirituality.

Then I realized that these people who have got spirituality is ancient, from ancient times they were practising this. Now we had Machindranath, Guraknath, all these people, but nobody practiced Kundalini awakening to this extent that it was in every village they used to make the paintings about Mooladhara about this Agnya Chakra very clearly. And in the Agnya Chakra was Yin and Yang of the Chinese, can you imagine. After discovering that, I really felt that in the world there must be lots of people like that. Now, in Colombia I have seen also they have the same Kundalini and the Kumba and everything, I think that’s even more than 3 or 4,000 years back before Christ."
