Love is the message of Adi Shakti

Why did Adi Shakti create this world? Why did all this happen? Why don't we think why so much of love, so much of prosperity has been given to us? We never realize where are we and how much we have got.




It is not the money but the love and when you will understand we really love each other and there is no hatred, there is no revenge. Nothing. But just love and love and love, this is what is the message of today. We all have to be loving each other. We have to have all kinds of rituals but it is only expression of our love it is not just a ritual it is love.




When you have love of the Mother, how do we express? In the same way we have to know that today we have to promise that for us love is the most important. We should love. People don't even love in their own families. I am not talking to such people I know. They love their own families, their own village, their all surroundings, everywhere. But still the world is going on with wars, fighting and all kinds of trouble.




The whole world has to come up to love each other. There is no other solution but to love and in that love there is no selfishness but enjoyment and that enjoyment you should feel and give it to others. I'm sure you all Sahaja Yogis are doing that and you are seeing the mistakes of the others and not to get anybody into trouble.




Love is the message of Adi Shakti. Now you think about it one Adi Shakti created the whole world. How She must have done it? What She must have planned? How She must have organized it? It is not easy thing. Only because She loved.




Her love is the expression that you are all there and that is why to be one with Her one should learn to love. Of course in that you have to know that you should forgive. If you don't know how to forgive and find mistakes of other people, you won't help.




What is your now job is, is to see that you are loving, that there is no hatred for anyone. You don't think of hating someone or hitting somebody. This has to work out. I'm sure this will work out.

Soil of India has fragrance

So today I'm going to tell you about Adi Shakti which is a very vey ancient subject. Adi Shakti is the power of God Himself and She created this world to bring His kingdom on this earth.




You can imagine there was nothing but darkness and out of this darkness She had to create all these beautiful pictures, trees and all kinds of vegetation that She did create.




But what is the use having all these things which do not speak, do not understand? There is no manifestation with them. Of course, some of the trees and some of the flowers do receive beautiful vibrations and they grow very well but not all, some of them.




For example, I must tell you that here flowers have no fragrance. All the flowers, they have no fragrance. I've been going around to see if there were flowers of fragrance, but what they do is to grow them big.




They are very big. Much bigger than you can find them anywhere, but there is no fragrance. While in a poor country like India the flowers have tremendous fragrance. Even small flowers have tremendous fragrance.




Now what is the specialty of the fragrance in India and nowhere else. NOWHERE!! Some flowers may be having little fragrance but there is no fragrance in the flowers that are grown so beautifully, full of love and care. But lots of wild flowers also in India have got fragrance. What is the reason?




They say that the soil of India has fragrance. How can you have fragrance in the soil? But it is a fact what I'm saying, is not just a story but a fact that in India any flowers that you grow, mostly has, mostly, has fragrance.




While here that's not the case. Neither it is in any other country, you go to Norway, or you go to Germany, any other country you go, you won’t find any fragrance in the flowers. It is very shocking why there is no fragrance in flowers!




When this world was created there was no fragrance but in some areas there was, especially areas which we call as India and otherwise. It is unbelievable that here or anywhere abroad there are no flowers with fragrance.

Vision of Adi Shakti

I have a vision no doubt, and I’ve been talking about it quite a lot; but it ends up with the puja, is not a good thing. I know some countries are very difficult. Try to find out what is the problem, why it is so very difficult.




Attention has to be paid to this, that what other human beings are doing to destroy themselves, as if it is the part and parcel of the same game which we call as the Last Judgment; but let us through our compassion and love save as many as possible.




This is the work of Adi Shakti, not the work of any saint or any incarnation. They’re all there, no doubt, they’re all with us all the time to help us. But you people have the power of Adi Shakti which is very great, which is very penetrating, which is miraculous, it’s so effective.




But unless and until you become aware of your own powers, how will you work it out? It would be like a dead machine that has everything, but nobody is there to work it out.




All the time I had to go through very, very hazardous times, and sometimes I’ve felt that I may have to take another birth, the way things are so difficult for Me. But now for you it has been very easy: as if the one who makes the road has to work very hard, but those who walk on that, they don’t realize how easily they have got it.




And if they realize this then they will realize also, “Let many walk on this road, which was created with such patience, understanding and love.”




I have to really see you, you all Sahaja Yogis, doing your level best to change this world – has to be changed. As It is, humanity has to be saved through you and nobody else. No president, no prime minister, no minister- none of these people can change the world and save it. It is you are entitled, you have got this Power.




Do you realize your own status, your own being, which has risen so high? It is not there. If that realisation is there, you would go all out to express your love and compassion to other people, to make them realize what they are.




Only with Sahaja Yoga you can save this world, there’s no other way out. Whatever you may try, say, to help the poor, to help this and that is something very, very superficial. Best thing is to give Realization to every person you see.

Adishakti is the Parashakti

There’s a difference between the two. Adishakti is the total power of God, of His desire; while Kundalini is the one that is reflected, part, which is reflected in the human beings as Kundalini.






So there’s a difference between the Adi Kundalini and the Adishakti. Adishakti is the Parashakti, is the power, which is beyond all the powers, which controls all the powers and one of the powers of Adishakti is Kundalini.



For example the Kundalini which is placed within Me in the triangular bone is not totality of Me. In the same way the Kundalini, which is placed within you, is not the totality. Ofcourse it is the power, which is there to give you your self-realization. Is the power that redeems you, that nourishes you, that enlightens your centers.





But there are two other powers as you know very powerful, which are working through Ida and Pingala and the third one is Mahalakshmi which is in the center. Now Kundalini’s main job is to give you your self-realization because She is your individual Mother.




Everyone has the Kundalini within himself or herself reflected whatever may be the quality of that person. Now as you see reflections fall on everything. Say, the reflection of the Moon falls on the stone; youdon’t see any reflection. It then falls on a better reflector – say the water, then we can see the reflection. But when it falls on a mirror, which is very nicely made, say in Belgium, it reflects better. So that is how the reflection gradually goes on improving.





In the same way we have human beings who have different reflectors but they can be improved and they can be made absolutely top class, its possible. It depends now here it comes in to other powers that are within. One power which is the desire. Though the Kundalini as you see is the power of pure desire that it doesn’t want anything. But it wants to give youself-realization.





The other two powers – one of them is the mundane desire. This mundane desire if it becomes nothing but pure desire, then Kundalini has no problemsfrom the left side. But if it is not a pure desire, but full of other desires – for example: the first desire of human beings, which comes from animals I think, is food. He wants food tonourish himself.





But human being don’t only take food to nourish, also for the taste of it,or for the beauty of it, which is innately working in them. That’s why we run after food,which is very good, very tasty, all kinds of ideas we have and there’s no standard.





Somebody can like this, somebody can like that, but the one who understands that the taste of the food is not important and can practice it, then it works. It works wonders because the lowest desire, which is of food, comes under your control. If you can sometimes go without food, of course not for God but for yourself, God doesn’t want you to starve. If you can live without food, if you can enjoy every type of food, then you have done a lot to improve the path of Shushumna for the Kundalini.





I’ve seen in many cases that Kundalini just doesn’t rise, She doesn’t rise, even if She rises, She falls back. This happens when a person is very self-indulgent - is all the time thinking of things, which are not of very great importance for Spirituality.





Apart from this there’s another horrible one desire we have is to grab as much money as possible, to thinkabout money.

Adi Shakti Puja, Cabella,

Courtsey- Nirmall Nagari

I come to raise the kundalini of people

So the first thing I tried was to study about the kundalini, that I should be able to raise the kundalini. And I knew I had come for that, not for anything else, but only to raise the kundalini of people, so that they take to the central path, not to the right or to the left.






But I told you the knowledge of the left side, plus raising your kundalini. By raising your kundalini you broke your Sahasrara, and you entered into the realm of real joy, of reality. All these bad qualities started falling out.



In the central path first the Mooladhara came. By the awakening of the Mooladhara and the central path, you became very pure people. Your eyes became pure, your licentiousness went away, your cheapness went away and you became very, very – I think we should call them the holy people. Unless and until that happens you cannot be in Sahaja Yoga. You cannot be a licentious, you cannot be a flirtish, you cannot be a man who wants to, grab money from others and all that, or anyone who is very aggressive could be in Sahaja Yoga.








So all such people were thrown out. Once they were thrown out, they were showing their, teeth I should say. They didn't like it that they were thrown out. But they understand, now some of them, that we have made mistakes. So first thing is that you must develop your sense of Chastity. Respect it and enjoy it. That happened because of your Mooladhara being awakened. That's the first Chakra on the left side where you have Shri Ganesha.








But on the right side also, we have Deities. On every Chakra we have Deities to compensate. For Shri Ganesha is in the Center and that's how we were blessed, by His powerful purity. And we started understanding the beauty of purity, the power of purity. That's how our right side, we finished off. Right side was for fighting, for killing, anger. There was no peace for these people, the only thing they knew how to dominate others, and to be intolerable.




So then they rose, to a higher, higher level of, Swadisthan. In Swadisthana, they rose and the aggressiveness of the creative people, to create something. Even now we have many. They create all kinds of nonsense, create all type of grotesqueness, also very very, I should say, dirty things, to make a name.





So this is the another thing we got it in Swadisthana, people who wanted to have a name, a position, that came from right Swadisthana.




Then the third Chakra that was there was the Nabhi Chakra. On the Nabhi Chakra, they went all out to make money, not Lakshmi, but money, money by any means. And they cheated the whole world. With this money that they got, they did all kinds of bad things. Either they cheated or they were aggressive. Cheating was very much in the left side countries like India, and aggressiveness in the right side countries. In the center, what quality we have, at the Swadisthana is the creativeness. Creative of art, which is very beautiful, which is very deep, which is absolutely spiritual, that vanished and people started showing even the Incarnations full of dirty habits. All kinds of filth came in with that progress.





Then as I told there's Nabhi. In Nabhi, people got after money. Left sided people were making money. Right sided were aggressive with their money. If they were earning, they thought they were on top of the world. If they had money, they thought nobody's better then us. All this finished them off. It's finishing. It will come to that point where they will realize, that money is not for destroying, but for construction, constructing of the country, constructing of the human beings together to bring peace and love among them, for helping, for doing all kinds of good things. Then the same right sided people were to the Chakra of the Mother. ‘Han’ (Yes) and they were horrible mothers, tried to dominate their children, dominate everyone and could not sacrifice anything for their children. We have had enough of these women, who are aggressive with their husbands, are aggressive with their children. And even the motherhood among men is dead and finished.








All that kind of lot, when I came on this Earth I saw and I was shocked. What sort of human beings are those? What am I going to do with them? How will I awaken their Kundalini? At the Nabhi Chakra only they were lost. But now it is the Mother's Chakra. They had no fatherhood, no motherhood, they drove out their children, very selfish, self centered, dominating parents.


This was the Heart Chakra.



Then came the collective Chakra, what we call as the Vishuddhi. At the Vishuddhi Chakra, they wanted to occupy the whole world. They wanted to occupy the whole world as their own, to become emperors and they formed empires and misbehaved to such an extent that it's not humanly possible to behave like that. They really were rakshasas, I should say, and those rakshasas qualities are still there. In their behavior, in everything you can see how they behave towards people, treating them like that, creating people who are against spirituality and those who are aggressive. Well these became like a, two sided world, where there are people who are aggressive and the people who are tortured. This two sided world, existed even now, but is much less. Thanks to the collective understanding, there are many good institutions that were established, but they are not working out. They are not so successful. Because the men at the head of it are controlling, but controlling what? Not themselves. Controlling others. And all their behavior has spoilt all the work of this Chakra.




Collectively, you have, if you see around now today, everywhere there’s war going on, fights going on, killing going on, destruction going on. How is it? There are so many spiritual people now in this world. So the reason is the spiritual people have become very quiet. Very much enjoying their spiritual life. Have become very quiet and very peaceful people. But that doesn't bring peace. You have to be dynamic. And you have to bring peace in the world. You have to do something about it. We are very much satisfied with our progress, but we are not bothered as to see what it the progress others have done, how far they have gone, where can we meet them, what can we change them. At my level, I can change many things, but at your level how many people have you changed? What have you done? That has to be seen. Still you live with your ego, on the Agnya and you are very happy with your peace, with everything you have got through Sahaja Yoga.





This is the biggest calamity that the world is facing today. That those who are also spiritual, those who have achieved great heights, are least bothered! As to what good has to be done, what they are doing is to enjoy their own – spirituality. You come to the Puja, have more and more of it, but they have done no collective work to change people. Some of them are working one or two, bas ( stop), the rest of them are having a good time, enjoying themselves in such a manner that people accept them at great souls, good people, that's all.




I would like you to now introspect and find out how much collective work you have done, how many people you have got like that. With whom are you, talking? How many people have you told about Sahaja Yoga? Only so many are there. Christ had only 12 disciples, they are much more dynamic then you are.






So now you should take to the right side. And when you take to the right side, we'll create dynamic people, not just some useless, patient, very quiet, peaceful people. This was not the aim of Sahaja Yoga. The aim of Sahaja Yoga is to change, change so many. And those who are doing that, all my blessings are with them. But those who are just keeping to themselves, it is not a very good thing. In your country how many people have got to Sahaja Yoga? Just find out with how many people you have worked it out?





So yours is not a complete Yoga. Yours is a partial Yoga of the left side, where you are very loving, very kind, very this thing. I'm not saying that you should become aggressive in any way. But even, I have seen people want to be leaders. They want to be something great but how many people have they given realisation? How many people have they talked about Sahaja Yoga? I have seen, in the aero plane also you go, you walk in the street, anywhere people talk about Sahaja Yoga. But here we are using Sahaja Yoga for our greatness, for our understanding of ourselves. This is not why Sahaja Yoga has been brought to you. It has been brought to you for giving realizations to many people.




I request all the younger people, younger generation, not to waste their Sahaja energies on nonsense as the old people have done. You better go ahead and talk to people about Sahaja Yoga and spread the Sahaja Yoga. They are more interested in running schools, in looking after the destitute, doing this, doing that that's not your job. Your job is to create more Sahaja Yogis, more Sahaja Yoginis. But that is not there, what I find is it's not there. The right side is missing. You should come to the right side. Go all ahead. Nothing will happen to you.






Nobody can kill you, nobody can disturb you, nobody can arrest you, take it from me. You have powers, but if you don't use them, you are like this. That is why we have come to the stagnated point. That we should know we have to use our right side. Right side is very important.




Next time I'll tell you about right side, what right sided things you have, now you cannot become left sided whatever you may try. So you use your right side in the right direction, with the right understanding. Not as some sort of, I should say, very arbitrary or very dominating, like Hitlers. We have had also Hitlers among Sahaja Yogis. But now, the time has come for you, to do something more than what the saints have done before, to work it out that way, not to keep to yourself, that you have a family, you have very nice children, having, enjoying, all that. That's not the Sahaja Yoga for.



Sahaja Yoga is for transforming the whole world. You have to think about it. What are you doing, where are you? And what have you achieved out of Sahaja Yoga?




Then we come to the Agnya. In Agnya, what has happened is Sahaja Yogis have become such that, they bear anything. They can suffer anything. That's not we want. What we want is to remove the sufferings of others, remove the aggression of others. So we don't have that kind of organization, we don't have. That kind of understanding, we don’t have. And if that works out, you will be different people.



So we have become like, saints you see, sitting in their herm-hermit halls something like that. Not more than that.



So better try to do something positive, without aggression. I know some of you are still very aggressive, are show offs I know that. But if you get into the mood of working out collectively, then you will realize what mistakes you have. Still what is lacking in your personality? That is very important. At Agnya Chakra many Sahaja Yogis falter. I don't know what happens to them. At Agnya, I have told that you must forgive. But that doesn't mean that you allow people to do wrong things. Because you want to forgive, it's very easy not to fight, not to say anything, just keep out just forgive, no! You go and talk to that person and tell him it is wrong. You have to face it. If you cannot face it, then you are useless. Just like any other people. What's the use of you people getting your realization?




So now, we have to understand that's it's not only that we have vibrations, that we are alright, that you can cure some people, is the last word -no. You have to spread it. You have to go in the public. You have to be collective on this point and you have to spread Sahaja Yoga. With so many Sahaja Yogis all over the world we have not progressed much. So now, it is you have to plan what you want to do, how you want to do it, and how you want to spread Sahaja Yoga. It's very important. Because you people are good at, say, talking about Sahaja Yoga, singing about Sahaja Yoga, all these things are useless, unless and until you have concrete proof of getting many more people in Sahaja Yoga.



In a small country like Turkey, we have 25,000 Sahaja Yogis what do you say? They are all Muslims. Twenty five thousands Muslims becoming Sahaja Yogis. Why you find that number is very small in any other country? They are not very rich, but they care for their Self realization and for giving Self Realizations to others. It's very surprising how it has worked out, how it has spread.





So instead of thinking of your problems, of your enemies, of your powers, think of giving power to others and making them Sahaja Yoga. It's very important.


If you are in Sahasrara, then you have all the powers. In Sahasrara, if you do not spread Sahaja Yoga, what's the use of getting realization? Just for yourself? It's being very selfish. So I would say that, instead of spreading your own glory, your own fame, your own name, please try to get more people to Sahaja Yoga. Go into a very dynamic force.

There must some reason why you are here

So today we have to decide that, as the children of Adi Shakti, we have to go all out,everywhere, every corner, we have to shout and we have to tell loudly what is the time inwhich you are living, and what is the responsibility that you have to fulfill as Sahaja yogis.




There must be some reason why you are here.




Like in the beginning, Sahaja yogis used to ask Me, “Mother, was I this last life, was I Shivaji last life?” I said, “What is the use? You might have been anything, but what you are today is much higher.”





Try to understand. You might be, say Napoleon, you might be say, one of the kings , or may be one of thequeens somewhere. So what! What did they do? Did they raise anybody’s kundalini?Did they have any power? Even the disciples of Christ or even Mohammed Sahib’sdisciples, could anyone do it? Did they have any understanding of kundalini? Didthey have any love for others, that they should give them realization?




There were some Sufis, they never gave realization to anyone. There were so many saints who never gaverealization to anybody. Mohammed Sahib never gave realization to anybody. GautamaBuddha never gave realization to anybody. Think of it, Christ never gave realization toanybody. Anybody!! Krishna did not do it, Rama did not.




Nobody but you can do it!! You can do it and you know everything about kundalini.




It’s a very big thing because you are children of the Adi Shakti. You are here and your Mother is here. It’s a very, very fortunate thing for Me that you are here. I’m very proud of you, but again and again Ihave to tell you that the work has to be with a faster speed. We have to move with a fasterspeed and get more people to Sahaja Yoga”.

Compassion and Love of Adi Shakti

Now the problem of this Adi Shakti is this, that I decided, that I will have all of you enter into My body, absorb all of you. It is a very dangerous game, I know, but I did play because I am supposed to do it, at this stage of time that I should absorb you, all in My body. So with you, all your problems have also gone into Me, all your troubles have also gone into Me.




But by absorbing it, see, it’s like the ocean to which you have put and you are cleansed, but what about the ocean? Ocean has still got your problems and things lingering and they are very troublesome.





So the best thing would be for you to cleanse yourself. Cleansing is very important through introspection. But it doesn’t mean thinking, it never means thinking. But introspection means meditation and that you all should meditate.



I must tell you we had a meeting of the leaders and they came out and sat in the drawing room. As soon as they had assembled, I had such a severe pain in the stomach and I had such a bad diarrhea that you cannot believe. Now who had got those problems, I don’t know. But as a Mother I don’t mind anything, as long as you all get well and purified.




Just like as the Mother Earth cares for you, I also care for you. And just like as the Mother Earth loves you, I also love you, whether you are good or bad, it is not the point. But to be kind to me, if you could try to be really good Sahaja Yogis, not the show-offs, not business like, not only thinking type, not argumentative, not criticizing others, if you just try to meditate every day 10 to 15 minutes, I tell you, my health will be first class.




Because I have taken your injections inside and they start torturing my life for nothing at all. You see so now it is a risk I have run and I am sure you are all very sensible people and you will understand that your Mother shouldn’t suffer.




This is everyday crucifixion for me sometimes you know and I don’t know what to say, for example, the other day in Delhi, one gentleman, who is a leader, came to me, to see me, and my one foot started going like that, and paining so much. I mean, I didn’t know what to tell him- that you get out now?




Because I just cannot hurt him but I said, “ what’s the matter, where have you been, what did you do?” so he realized and he went out and really it improved. Nearness also, I think, has an effect, because if a man like that, or a lady like that, is full of problems and she comes very closer to my attention, then I have to take up the cross – it’s like this.

Shri Adi Shakti and Mother Earth

Today we are going to do the Puja of Adi Shakti. It is a difficult subject, to talk about Adi Shakti, because it is not easy to understand that Adi Shakti is the power of Sadashiva. Sadashiva is the God Almighty, She is His breath,as some people call it, some say She is the desire and some say that She is the entirepower of Sadashiva and Sadashiva cannot do anything without Her powers.






This subject has been described by many people in various books in different ways. But actually weneed not go to the background of the creation of Adi Shakti, for that at least you needseven lectures. But we’ll come to the point where Adi Shakti started working on thisMother Earth.






The first thing is, we must know, that She created a Kundalini in theMother Earth itself and She created Shri Ganesha out of the Mother Earth. It is veryinteresting. So the Mother Earth becomes a very important thing for us. If you do notknow how to respect the Mother Earth, we do not know how to respect ourselves.




The expression of Adi Shakti within you is the Kundalini, no doubt. That is the reflection ofAdi Shakti in you. But the reflection in the Mother Earth is also expressed, as you allknow, in different places, different countries, different cities, as the manifestation ofchakras and Adi Shakti’s creations. It was very important first to create a very HolyMother Earth for human beings to be born on there.





So the reflection of the Adi Shakti, as Kundalini first, was on the Mother Earth. Kundaliniis a, we should say is a wee part of the Adi Shakti or we can say that She is the desire,pure desire, of the Adi Shakti. So Adi Shakti is the desire, complete desire of Sadashiva;and Kundalini, Adi Kundalini is the desire, complete desire of Adi Shakti. Now this onewas first expressed in the Mother Earth, inside the Mother Earth. Inside the Mother Earththe Kundalini came up in such a way that it cooled down the inner part of the MotherEarth as much as it could, and then it manifested on the surface of the earth as differentchakras.






So it’s tremendous similarity that we have with Virata, the Mother Earth and thehuman beings. If all of them are being reflected by the Adi Kundalini, so, there has to be agreat connection between them. It is not understood by human beings how they areconnected to this Mother Earth. This Kundalini passed through different centers, creatingdifferent centers in the Mother Earth and ultimately broke through Kailasha. And I don’tknow how many have you been to Kailasha? You will see tremendous vibrations flowing outof Kailasha.




Now the way we insult our Mother Earth, what we are doing is we are insulting the Adi Shakti. So many ways there are, we should respect the Mother Earth. I mean it was an Indian custom to begin with, when you got up from your bed and you touched the Mother Earth with your feet you have to say, “Oh! Mother Earth please forgive me because I am touching you with my feet.” All the movements of Mother Earth are controlled by this inner Kundalini which is the reflection of Adi Shakti. The gravity that it has also is the manifestation of the Kundalini of the Mother Earth.




Now, why we are suffering in this beautiful planet because we do not respect what we have to respect the most. Mother Earth is to be respected. Meaning what? Meaning that whatever is created on this earth, by the movement of the earth, by the sea, by all the elements, has to be respected. Today’s problem is pollution, all kinds of thing people talk of, the reason behind it, people never understood the importance of all these five elements which are supportive of our life.

Adam and Eve

So Adi Shakti is embodiment of God’s Divine Love, is God’s pure love, and in His love, what did He desire? He desired that He should create human beings who would bevery obedient, would be sublime, would be like Angels; and that was His idea to create Adam and Eve.



So Angels have no freedom, Angels are made like that. They are fixed they don’t know why they do it! Animals also don’t know why they do certain things; they just do it, because they are bound by nature. They are bound by God Almighty. They say Shiva is Pashupati, means He controls all the animals. He is Pashupati. So all the desires come to animals but they do not repent, they don’t have ego, they don’t think that this is wrong, or that is good. They have no karma problem because there is no ego, because they have no freedom.





At this point comes Adi Shakti, which was pure love. So think of a father who has put all his love into one personality, then what is left in him? Nothing. He is just watching. What does he think? He is just watching the play of his desire, of his love. He is watching it, how it is working out. And when he is watching that he is very careful, because he knows that this personality that I have created is nothing but love and compassion. And compassion itself is of such a noble variety that it cannot bear any body challenging that compassion, troubling that compassion, or also in any way demeaning it, lowering it or insulting it. He is so alert on that point and he is very watchful.




So a rift has taken place, we should say from him, from his own desire of love. Now this desire of love has also given a personality means ego, and that this ego has to act on its own. It became, sort of, very independent personality which was free to do whatever it liked. And we cannot think in our mundane life that a husband and wife are absolutely free to do what they like, because there is no cohesion, there is no understanding, there is not that oneness, that rapport. But it is like a moon and moonlight, sun and sunlight. It is such a cohesion, that whatever one does, another enjoys. In that beautiful rift Adi Shakti decided to change His plans. She is known for Her Sankalpa Vikalpa Karoti –anything you try to decide too much, She will make it different, like today’s eleven o’clockPuja.




So when this Adam and Eve business started She thought that they will be just like other animals or Angels. What is the use? They must know what they are doing, they must know why they are doing. They must have the freedom to understand what is the knowledge and like fixed machine like life, that these animals are having, why should they have?





So, in Her arbitrary power which was conceded, of course, She is the one who came as a serpent and told them that, “You taste the fruit of knowledge.” Now for people who are not Sahaja Yogis, you cannot tell this. They will be shocked. But this serpent that came for them to test and then to tell them that, “You better taste this fruit.”




This serpent told the woman, not the man, because woman is supposed to accept things easily. She may even accept bhoots, she may even accept nonsense, but she is the one who accepts. While the man doesn’t accept easily. He argues, he discusses, that’s why she came and told the woman – She came and told the woman I should say. This Holy Ghost actually is a feminine, and so moves nearer to a woman. This feminine Ghost came as a serpent and told that better you taste the fruit of knowledge.




Now it was the job of the lady to convince her husband, because women know how to do that. Sometimes they may convince them wrongly, tell them something which is very wrong, very sinister, as you know, in Macbeth what happened? So many places, we have seen, women have misguided their husbands. But men can be misguided or could beguided, or could be emancipated if they have a proper wife. So he had all faith in his wife, believed in it and they tasted the fruit of knowledge under the guidance of this Holy Ghost who was a feminine personality of God. This cannot be conceived that the people who are just getting a glimpse of Christ or a glimpse of Mohammed Sahib or aglimpse of Nanak Sahib.





They cannot understand. They just had a glimpse of them. If they had told people would have said, Wah! what is this?” They would have never listened to them. So at that time, the way the attention was, the way the reception was, they told about dharma, about ascent.





But in India people talked about Kundalini since long. And that She is the Adi Shakti, reflected within us. Now, you see it is already read it out to you that I will be in every one of them. Now understand that this Adi Shakti is the power of love - of pure love - compassion. There is nothing else She has, only the Pure Love within Her heart. But this Pure Love is so powerful, is so powerful, that is the love She has given to this Mother Earth. Because of that this Mother earth, the amount of sins we may commit, we may do anything, She is pouring out Her love through these beautiful things to all of us.

To cross this Bhavasagara

So when we read about the Devi, about Her incarnations, how She came on this earth to save Her bhaktas, people who are trying to ascend, to cross this Bhavasagara, how She worked hard, how She fought the devils, how She fought, She killed the demons single-handed, She took upon Herself the responsibility of making the people cross the Bhavasagara. Guru gave you the strength, taught dharma, but She’s the one who brought you out.



Even those who were dharmic could not do it because of the demonic pressure. She’s the one who fought single-handed with Her powers of destruction. In Her love for you She fought, She brought you to this level. And then She took a milder form of incarnation. Even during the time of all the gurus She took the form of, as you know, Janaki was the daughter of Janaka. Then Fatima was the daughter of Mohammed Sahib and Nanaki was the sister of Nanaka. In those forms, these Powers sustained and nourished the Guru Tattwa and later on or sometimes simultaneously They incarnated in milder forms to help human beings to rise.




So today is the day of thanksgiving. As Guru Puja is a day of thanksgiving to your Guru, the One who has counsel you, the One who has told you about the truth, the One who has taught you the truth and has given you Realization. And the Devi Puja is a thanksgiving where single-handed, just like a very loving mother, under Her sari She’s protected you, fought for you, fought with every enemy that is around, every sort of problems that existed and ultimately brought into Sahasrara level and then gave you Realization. It’s a real thanksgiving to the Mother. So we can say Navaratri’s like a Mother’s Day where you give thanksgiving to Her, which was just relentless, continuous working for Her children.

Respect yourself

So rise now; you must rise above your petty, small mind. Rise up to the point where you should know you are going to save the whole humanity. If you cannot feel that, it’s better to leave Sahaja Yoga. Sahaja Yoga is not meant for people who are lousy. In Marathi the word is gabare. Tukaram has said, yerya gabalyache kam nahi – “It is not the work of the lousy.” ...


When you rise above all these petty things you will develop that divine discretion. That divine discretion is the real blessing of God. All other blessings that you think is a blessing is no blessing at all. Unless and until you can grow, what is the blessing? Like a tree which says, “Oh, it's such a blessing that I have got rain.” But out of that rain if you cannot grow, what is the use of having that rain on you? You have to be compassionate, beautiful, sensible people who are highest beings on this earth. Take out your attention from all nonsense that you have been busy with. That’s how you get possessed, that’s how you get conditioned; small, small things, you see. ...


Today is the beginning of a new era; of a new era of people of very high qualities, whose spirit has been enlightened. Let’s all think about it. Now you have to rule yourself, and you have to rule others through compassion, love and discretion. Today that’s the big time that I have declared that it is the universal religion, the Nirmala religion which is formed out of my teachings of love. ...


So now have respect for yourself. Raise your heads. You are the ones who are going to fight. You are the ones who are responsible. Prepare yourself, prepare your body, prepare your mind, be discreet. This is my, I would not say "request" again, this is my order. May God bless you. ...


Respect yourself, respect. May God bless you all. There’s nothing, nothing more important to Me than to see you rise to that level of understanding of your own values and worth, and discretion. You have to become sweet, nice people but very, very powerful, that you can control yourself, your tongues and your things; your control, complete control of yourself.
May God bless you again.

Yoga Means Union With God. It Means Union With Your Spirit...

“Yoga means union with God. It means union with your Spirit. It's no other nonsense that people talk. Sahaja means: Saha means with, Ja means born. It's within you, it's spontaneous, like every seed has a primule in it, you too have that Power within you, just placed there in the sacrum, the triangular bone. So many people who are real scholars, who are seekers, have reached the conclusion that it is the awakening of the Kundalini only that gives you your second birth, your baptism, but they do not know how it will work out because it is a living force. You cannot pull our the primule out of the seed, you cannot not force a flower to become a fruit, you cannot pay money for it, you cannot rationalize it or mock at it or laugh at it or if you doubt it whatever it is. It will work out when it has to work out. In the same way today we are at the junction of a great happening, en-masse Realization has to take place, evolution has to take place, otherwise this creation will have no meaning, you will have no meaningeither.


So don't worry for cheap sensations and sensational stuff that is around. You have to ask for the real and that real you will only ask for if you have self-esteem, that you understand that you have to get the real and not something that you can purchase on the market.”

Shri Mataji about Forgiveness + facing wrongs

"At Agnya, I have told that you must forgive. But that doesn't mean that you allow people to do wrong things. Because you want to forgive it's very easy, not to fight not to say anything, just keep out just forgive, no! You go and talk to that person and tell him it is wrong. You have to face it."




(H.H. Mataji Nirmala Devi -- Adi Shakti Puja 2002, Cabella, Italy)

VALAYA

WHAT IS VALAYA?


"After crossing the sixth centre of Agnya Chakra, the attention of the pupils (Sahaja Yogis) enters the limbic area known as Sahasrara. When this area is pierced through the top of the head (Brahamarandra) the post graduation degree is also bestowed upon the student by Shri Ganesha. This is self realisation. The entrance into the unconscious mind the higher degrees also have to be certified by Shri Ganesha. Though the post graduation is granted by the Adi Shakti the Primordial Mother herself, Shri Ganesha has to bless the pupil. On top of the human personality is the seat of Sadashiva, on his lap sits the great adorable child Shri Ganesha as He is always surrendered at the most coveted place of His parents feet. Above the seat of Sadashiva on the head of Shiva he forms the crescent moon as Ardha Bindu, from its cup the Pranava falls down on all sides. At the stage of Bindu (Point) He become absolutely subtle, that He enters inside the point which has no length or breadth as the total density of the concentrated awareness itself. Lastly he is the circular line that limits the Adi Shakti's power as Valaya or complete state (Poorna Stithi)".

Reality is the Paramchaitanya

Reality is the Paramchaitanya
We are aware that the Paramchaitanya [All-pervading Power] does everything. At least mentally we know that everything is worked out by the grace of the Paramchaitanya, which is the power of the Adi Shakti [Primordial Power]. But still, it is not so much in our heart, so much in our attention.

We can consider the Paramchaitanya lika an ocean, like an ocean which contains everything within itself … Everything is within its own limits, so it cannot be compared with a limit. You cannot compare it.

Now if you see the sun, then from the sun, the rays have to come out to work it. If you see somebody - say, a person who has an authority - he has to assert that power outside. So within himself, he doesn’t work it out.

For example, if there’s a seed and, inside the seed, only the tree grows and the fruits come out and then they are sold and people eat them and everything is inside that seed, then that is the Paramchaitanya.

So we are all enveloped in it … We are on the waves, so we see it as dislocated, separated - like we feel, “This is Germany” or “This is England” or “This is India”. These are just folds of the sari of Paramchaitanya, which look separated, but they are not separated. They are continuous. So the connection is absolutely complete. if I pull a thread from here, the thread will throughout be pulled.

In the same manner, this Paramchaitanya is working within itself and there is nothing without.

So when you are Sahaja Yogis, it pays special attention to you … It becomes absolutely one with you. Whatever you desire, whatever you want also will be coming from the same Paramchaitanya, if you are one with it.

Like in a turbulent ocean, some drops of water may fly into the air and start thinking, “We are above. We are away from the world, away from the ocean.” But again, they have to fall into the same.

So this formless energy has all the intelligence, all the coordination, all the organisations, all the computers, all the televisions, all that you can think of as communication and of governing, of administration. And, above all, it is the love. It is the love of God and love of your Mother. So to be one with this Paramchaitanya, you have to know that you have to become reality …

So all of you Sahaja Yogis have to know that, in reality, you do not do anything and everything is done by the Paramchaitanya. This is the difference between a non-Sahaja Yogi and a Sahaja Yogi. A non-Sahaja Yogi does not know. And even if he knows, this is not the truth in his heart. It’s not a part and parcel of his being. But a Sahaja Yogi knows that reality is the Paramchaitanya and it is reality that works out everything - and this reality is Divine Love.

Just say, "I surrender".

... you have already heard about the importance of today in the life of the Goddess. And that today Ravana was killed and that's how there were celebrations. As you know very well that all the satanic forces which one had to face one at the time are all back on the stage and they are to be defeated. The greatest problem of modern times is that these satanic forces have taken a very subtle form and they enter into your psyches and into your egos. And you are the Saints, you are the Bhaktas, you are the devotees of the Goddess. It's a very delicate situation. When the confusion is there, when the saints are attacked, the aggressor can be removed, but the saint becomes mixed up or confused with negative forces, which is very difficult to make him see the light. And you have seen this situation very well. And the subtler you grow, the subtler they became. And they start giving you ideas which are so negative, but you cannot see them. So the problem today is very delicate. There are no absolute saints and there are no absolute bad people.

Such a mixture, a confusion. That is what Kali Yuga is. Is modern times. Only way to get rid of them is to surrender. That is the only way. There is no other way around. Because when you surrender, the spirits, the negativities, the satanic forces just disappear. Because they are defective. They have no business to be there. They have no interest in a person who is surrendered to God. They cannot surrender. If they surrender they'll also become saints. All the time to think, "What are my catches? What are my negativities?" Is not going to help you. Just surrender all these ideas that are coming to you and you'll find that all absurd ideas will run away. This is the easiest way to get rid of your problems. Is just to surrender. After all, all these horrible people, all the horrible deities, enemies, who came forward to fight the Goddess, are there as long as you nurture them. As soon as you surrender yourself, they will find you of no use for themselves and they go to other half-baked people. The growth will only come, when the surrender is complete. One has to know that the powers are tremendous. You cannot conceive it as it is said by Markandeya. You cannot conceive it; it is beyond your conception. Outwardly you cannot understand, you just cannot understand. Under such circumstances the best thing is to surrender yourself. Now surrendering, what do you surrender? What do you surrender is your ego and your super-ego and it is completely cleansed and drenched in the blessing. Because you cannot give anything. You have to receive the blessings. And to receive the blessings you have to just surrender. It is so simple. The easiest way. To solve all your problems is to surrender.

Just say, "I surrender". For realized souls it should be their mantra. And you will be amazed how all your problems will vanish. Because not only that the powers are tremendous, but as you are realized souls all the Divine Forces, all the Divine Deities, all the Eternal Beings; Chiranjivas, all the angels and the ganas, all of them are looking after you. But they know one thing, those who are surrendered and those who are not surrendered. You just surrender the problem, and you will be surprised that the answer will come in such a miraculous way. Just surrender. Do not take any responsibility upon yourself. Just surrender. Because how far you can go into the solution? Up to your rationality. Beyond that you have your Spirit, and the Spirit is connected to the Divine. So best is to surrender and the whole thing will show such light and such beauty and such meaning. In the modern times now the work is not the same way as it was when it is described. In the Raudrarupa or that the Chandrarupa you see there, was there at the back. It's a mind work, it's a Mother, it's a simple thing. Loving, compassionate, for your protection. This rupa is there, but you do not see it. You are completely protected. Be sure of it.

Everyday is your birthday

So instead of wasting all your energy for decorating all these things, you should decorate yourself, within yourself. With sincerity, with nice thoughts about yourself that you are capable, absolutely capable people and you can use your imagination, your intelligence, rationality, whatever these things you have to find the way - to find the way, again I say - to keep your heart large. And this the message for today's birthday all over the world because I felt that the whole world was today like a big heart pulsating. I received the last phone and came here. From all over the phones coming, flowers are showering, the beautiful nice things they are saying. Everything is there. When I am just drenched into it, just drenched - it was too much for Me. Such sweet things for the children, from the children, such things from the ladies, some very, very nice from the men and it was amazing how these people are bubbling with enjoyment that today is My birthday.

In the same way, please consider that everyday is your birthday, that you have to raise your Kundalini all the time and keep the standard of your Kundalini higher and higher. The more you open out, the more threads of Kundalini will come up and the more your heart will open out and it will be awakened, it'll become more powerful...."

How the Heart goes mental? And how to attain Divinity and Spirituality

…"Another way is that you start seeing the blessings and you start seeing how you feel physically, emotionally and spiritually. Still on the mental level most of the people recognize but unless and until it is recognized in the heart it is no recognition. Already the heart is surrounded by seven auras of the seven Chakras and the Spirit (Atma) resides in the heart. As it is on top of your head resides God Almighty Sadashiva. When Kundalini touches that point your Spirit starts spreading and it starts acting on your central nervous system because automatically the vibrations, the Chaitanya flow into your brain, which enlightens your nerves. But still recognition of the heart is not there. Even without that you start feeling the cool breeze. You can raise Kundalini of others. You can cure people. You can do many things but still it is not recognition because recognition is mental activity of the heart. How can heart have a mental activity? This is another problem you face-i.e. The mental activity of the heart. Say you are a Christian born in a Christian family; as soon as you see the photograph of Christ you feel something in the heart. If you are a Hindu and you see a photograph of Shri Ram, immediately it's recognition in that heart.



But the recognition of somebody living with you is very very difficult and you live on the cusp of your mental activities only. But to go deep down into your heart, what should be done? How can the mental activity be performed through the heart you must remember that heart is absolutely connected with the brain? When heat fails the brain also fails. The whole body goes out of order. So this mental activity of the heart is to be understood this way that as soon as you see danger, without even thinking, in a reflex way your heart starts pumping more blood and you get palpitation. It is a reflex action. This activity takes place because it is built in within you. That as soon as you see emergency your sympathetic nervous system goes into activity and you start feeling the fear, the desire to do something about it, but you do not think, you just run. The fear is built in the central nervous system. Any reaction or response is built in. but the response to the Spirituality is yet not manifested. It will manifest. Through your past you have learnt that you have to be afraid of this or that. With the experience gradually you built in reaction of reflex within you so that you try to save yourself. What experience should you have to build that in your heart? This experience is of your own Divinity and Spirituality. Once you start developing that experience then you know that you are Divine person.

Unless and until you are fully aware that you are a Divine person, whatsoever faith you may have in the recognition is not complete because the one who is recognizing me is a blind person."

He was the Omkara. He was the Logos and He was the Spirit

(It the beginning was the AUM)

" Its very significant for Sahaja Yogis to understand the great event of His resurrection, by which he showed that the Spirit does not die। He was the Omkara. He was the Logos and He was the Spirit. That is why He could walk on water. We now made a film in which we have shown the Mooladhara, which shows the Carbon atom, and if you see from right to left you see a proper Swastika there and left to the right we see Omkara. From down below looking up you see Alpha and Omega that proves beyond doubt that what Christ says ' I am the Alpha and I am the Omega' show clearly that He was the incarnation of Shri Ganesh. We now have a scientific proof and we can tell people that it's a fact ".

How Brahma Chaitanya and Mahamaya works!

To stay in centre, become "Sharnagat" (surrendered). Say "you are every thing mother, so you do every thing". It is complete surrender.

The complete form of the "Brahma-Chaitanya", I have brought from the sea. So now, I do not allow you to get dissolve in it. I have put it in the form of a big "Ghata"(Matka). In that, you are smaller Matkas. In other words, I have taken you all in My Body as small cells, nourishing you, looking after you, cleansing you & working it out. But I am MAHA-MAYA. So I have to work out very slowly, gradually, and at the right time and right point.

The Bhrahma-Chaitanya is the Adi-Shakti and Sada-Shiva is also in my heart. But since I am so much humanized, it is not so easy to find it out. If you tell this to modern human beings, they will not understand. To bear this truth is so difficult. These days, it is difficult to bear money, leave alone that, even to bear ones own position. They become so shaky. So for them, to bear the fact that I encompass all the incarnations is too difficult to bear".
