Kundalini connects you to Divine love

So this Sahasrara Day, or we can calls the day when the Sahasrara was opened out, is a very important. It’s very subtle. We just know about the Kundalini, that she is coiled up in three and a half, and she is lying in the triangular bone known as Sacrum.



But we don’t know what she works. How she works, what happens to us. She rises in six centres and breaks the seventh centre, I should say, breaks the sixth centre because Ganesha’s centre doesn’t play any role – so when she breaks the sixth centre which is the Sahasrara, then she connects you to the all pervading power of Divine love.



But what is this Divine Love? What does this do? It is the energy of the Mother, we can say it is the energy of Adi Shakti, which is all over, works through vibrations. But what are these vibrations?



It is a very subtle energy that starts flowing through your Sahasrara. All the thousand petals of the Sahasrara get slowly enlightened and it starts flowing throughout your body, throughout your hands, feet, throughout your body. And the more you are…. I mean your attention is on the Sahasrara, the more it works faster.

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.

Mother hurt when her child misbehaves

God doesn’t want anything from you. What can you give to God? It’s a funny ideapeople have. But its all right you can give anything to God.





Krishna has said that you can give Me flowers, you can give Me water, you can give Me this presents, this / that, I’llaccept. But what does He say? That only thing that you have to do is to be one with Me.You have to be one with Me, you have to connect, be connected with Me.





And this feeling of connection is so satisfying, is so joy giving, so nice, which cannot be describedin words. Thus you find your Kundalini is just flowing out with joy for yourself and forothers.





Also the right side - ambitiousness, domination, showing off, harshness, cruelties.I don’t know how many things there are on the right side. But they can be unlimited. Imean the limit is Hitler you can say, so far. God knows some other may come to competewith him, but so far he’s the last word. So all these also start destroying this Kundalini.




I’ve seen also Kundalini of people which is hurt, wounded, just can’t rise, finished. ThenI feel that let them take a second birth; only then one can work it out because isimpossible for such a Kundalini to make Her rise. If you are selfish and you are cruelthen this Kundalini becomes hurt. A good mother feels hurt when her child misbehaves.




So this Kundalini gets very hurt because She wants you to have your second birth andShe cant just bear it and this makes Her absolutely incapable of rising. She becomes sick,ill and wounded. So all kinds of aggressiveness should be given up.





That’s not going to help because you have come to Sahaja Yoga not for saving money or bargaining oranything. You have come here because you are seekers. I’ve seen invariably people whohave been to false gurus always have this kind of a money orientation because they musthave been lynched completely by the previous gurus, maybe, I don’t know what to say.

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.

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.

Thy will be done

The attention can be concentrated now, after Realization only. But even realized souls have to work it out. This is the biggest problem that I think I see, that our attention is so distributed we cannot do anything in a concentrated manner. That’s why there is guru shopping also going on. We also cannot do our Sahaja Yoga in a concentrated manner….. It becomes mobile, spread all over. It doesn’t reach any depth or height either. If you put them together, then it will work out…..




So to clear the attention, clear this garbage into that clear cut, beautiful lakes, you have to go within. You have to allow it to sediment. You have to take pride. By it’s own nature it will come, the beauty. And then you will see a ripple in that lake within you, a peaceful space in which you will see the bliss of God flowing into you, through you, you observing it and seeing it manifesting into the other. That is what needs to be asked for. No mental activity can do that. It is only the desire to be that works it. Only the desire to be one with God works it. Mental activity, rationality saps it. Through rationality, you cannot reach God……




It is said, “Those who will be blessed have to humble down in their heart.” It is very true. It is very, very true that we have to humble down in our hearts, so that it will work. And keep your attention steady.




Is it too much that I’m asking? You started with a very humble heart as a child. Only in this life all this has been accumulated a bit too much. In past life you were not like that-much better off. Only in this lifetime you have crossed the limit a little bit. It’s not difficult to recede.





So just try to humble down in your heart and it will work out. Every time you get your touching of the kundalini or, you can say, the breakthrough, every time you get that experience, keep it in your memory and desire for it and it will work out. Do not keep in memory the faults that you have had, where you have been.




When you climb up on top of a hill or a mountain, you don’t remember all the ditches you have fallen into in your childhood. You enjoy the atmosphere on the hilltop. Make it a strong memory within you and try to keep it there. I know for some people it’s difficult. They came down, again go up. Because of the problems they’ve had before, the kundalini comes down. But in Sahaja Yoga, there is all arrangement. But if the desire is strong- not the mental activity, but the desire- it will work out. And that’s why I told you why it is to be, “Thy will be done.”





Accept it from the very beginning. This is the basis of how you are going to rise.




H.H.Shri Mataji

26th June 1978 Caxton Hall

The guru has to be like a full moon, means completely growing, completely matured.

“…..Today is the full Moon day, that’s why it is called as purnima. The guru has to be like a full moon, means completely growing, completely matured.



There are sixteen kalas or the phases of the Moon, and when the complete purnima comes in, the full Moon day, all the sixteen kalas are completed. You also know that in the Vishuddhi chakra there are sixteen sub plexuses. When Krishna is described as Virata, He’s called as the Sampurna, the complete incarnation of Vishnu’s aspect, because He’s got the sixteen phases completely done.


So today’s number is sixteen. Six plus one, seven.


Now we have to understand the importance of guru. Why should we have a guru when we have God? We’ve got Shakti, then why should we have a guru? What is the need to have a guru?




Guru means “the weight,” the weight. We get our weight from the magnetic forces of the gravity of the Mother Earth. So guru means gravity, a gravity in a person. Why do we need a guru? Because to know God is easy, specially in Sahaja Yoga, to be one with Him. As soon as you get your Self-realization in Sahaja Yoga, the modern Sahaja Yoga, immediately you become entitled to give realizations to other.






It was said that guru is the person who makes you meet the Divine. That’s not true, because any self-realized person in the Sahaja Yoga can raise the kundalini and can give Self-realization to others, immediately after they have touched the Sahastrara or opened the Sahastrara. But normally a realized soul cannot do it. Any born realized soul cannot do it on its own, it has to have authority of Me as I am today




That’s why it was said that guru is a person who makes you meet god; he raises the kundalini and makes you one with god. Because in those days when the gurus were self realized, when the gurus were realized, they had the authority and power of raising the Kundalini only after they had reached a very great state of evolution – complete purification, complete detachment.




So it was not possible for people to give realization when they just touched realized state. Most of the gurus in the olden days started by first cleansing the people. First cleanse them, one by one, raise the Kundalini, brought it to every chakra and then gave them realization. It was a different technique altogether. You can say it was a bullock cart technique.






That’s why one mantra was given for particular chakra where was the problem, where the Kundalini was stopping. For about, some people used to get it for even for 10 years they would work out on one chakra. I’ve known people who have been working on Agyna for 10 years, 20 years. But you know in Sahaja Yoga we clear it out just like that. That has something to do with your particular guna .




So the first conception that a person who makes you meet god is the guru. Has to be little bit advanced because for you now it’s a childs play to raise the Kundalini and make them one with the divine. But still you don’t become guru in the Sahaja Yoga terminology. Even if you have vikalpas, you have doubts about Sahaja Yoga still you can raise the Kundalini. Even when your chitta – attention is not clear cut still you can.. the pure truth, how? How it has worked out that way, so beautifully?




It has worked out I would say at this juncture, maybe later on I will tell you. But its pure divine, which is not contaminated by whatever state you may be, its flowing, absolutely pure divine. With others it was different, they had to cleanse it, clear it out. As an instrument you are perfect, but as a guru you are not.




Whatever maybe your defects or whatever you maybe lacking, you raise your hands the Kundalini will vibrate at your beck and call. On your fingers it is going to vibrate tremendous power. You can ask anyone they’l tell you they are surprised and jealous of you. They can’t understand that how by raising your fingers that you are perfect instruments because you are created by somebody very perfect.



But you are not perfect gurus, that one has to understand. And that is why you need a guru to tell you that what is percept”



(H.H. Shri Mataji, Guru Puja - Nabhi, Spirit, Dollis Hill, London,UK,08.07.1979)

Why Sahaja Yogis are few ?

"Why Sahaja Yogis are few is because there are very few subtle people in this world of that caliber. That is why I am always requesting you do not divert your attention here and there. Settle down, become good Sahaja Yogis.



Unless and until you do I cannot move to the second strata, because the first strata has not settled down, worrying about nonsensical things, fighting amongst yourselves, sometimes I feel very unhappy. This is so painful, that you say harsh words to each other.




I mean, you are the cream for Me, go and ask any one of the Gurus if they can move Kundalini on their fingers as you do? These powers cannot be given by an ordinary person.




I look ordinary, no doubt, I have to, but also you have seen Me in other forms, that's not important. The important thing is that you should see your own transformation, and how many Powers you are manifesting.




You see, you have got it so easily. Why? Because I recognise that subtleties in you. These Gurus recognise Me. They know about Me. They know who I am. They are telling others. There are many of them like that."H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, 1982-09

Surrender yourself for the Kundalini to open the chakras

So, if you are conditioned, you're frightened, you're afraid and you had ideas about yourself. These days the way people are describing, they'll say I'm an extrovert, somebody will say I'm an introvert, I'm that, all kinds of things they can have attributed to themselves.


But these ideas are all coming from outside, they're not from inside. To get to the inner side of yourself, the subtler side of your being, you must allow the Kundalini to go through the agnya. To cross the agnya is a very important thing in modern times and for that you have to meditate. If you can meditate with complete faith in yourself, this agnya can be opened out.

With surrendering to the divine, you have to surrender yourself to the divine, and when this agnya opens, you'll be amazed. Your Sahasrara is just waiting to transfer, to give you all the help that you need through the all-pervading power. Your connection of Sahasrara with the all-pervading power is established and by that you'll be amazed how all these seven chakras work for you, how they help you, how they try to give you whatever is the real knowledge about everything.

This real knowledge that you get is very joy giving. You can see this real knowledge in everything. You don't have to start reading any book about it. In every situation and in every person, in every flower, in every natural happening, you see clearly the hand of the divine. Once you see the hand of the divine, your ego starts disappearing.

Once you say that it's you, you do everything; it's the divine power that does everything - what am I? I was just a drop and I fell into this ocean of awareness of the divine power and that is taking over and working it out. That will help you a lot to be a great Sahaja Yogi.

love, compassion and attention

Now, it is absolutely pure light of knowledge, love, compassion and attention. All these three things are in that energy. We know of many energies like electrical energy. We know of light energy. We know of other energies. But these energies cannot think. They cannot adjust. They cannot work on their own. They are to be handled by us. But this energy, itself, is the living energy and knows how to handle itself. It thinks. If you see a seed being sprouted, you’ll find at the tip of the seed there’s a small little cell which knows how to go around the soft places and then how to encircle the stones and then how to find its way to the source. That cell has got, I would say, a little Kundalini it, the way it moves. But within you is a tremendous force of Kundalini exists.


So, you have a storehouse of compassion, which can be enlightened by the spirit. You have the storehouse of love, compassion and knowledge and ocean of forgiveness. When people get Realization, they do not understand that they have to now grow. And why they don’t grow? Because they do not ask for these energies. A person who is a realized soul, if he says, “I have to have more compassion. My compassion is not all right. My concern about others is not all right. My generosity is not all right. I’m exploiting others. I’m exploiting their love,” then this energy starts moving, giving you that greater dimension of love and compassion. But if you do not want to be growing in your awareness, then She says, “All right. He is a half-baked Sahaja Yogi. Let it be.” She doesn't supply that energy which is stored within you.

Kundalini is a Mother

So the power of Kundalini is absolute purity, auspiciousness, holiness, chastity, self-respect, pure love, detachment, concern, enlightened attention to give you joy, as every mother wants that her child should get the joy. Whichever way is possible, she’ll try to give joy to her children. In the same way, this Kundalini has only one power — how to give joy to Her own children and she does that. Supposing — I mean, I don’t know about modern mothers, but normally if I would go and say to My mother, “Teach Me how to be angry,” she will say, “You go and cut your nose.” If I tell her that, “Tell Me how to tell lies,” she’ll say, “Go and cut your tongue.” If I say, “Tell Me how to say bad things to others,” she’ll say take out your eyes is better.” All these ideas that we harbour within ourselves make a very big problem for Kundalini to enter into your attention.

Now, people always ask, “Mother, how are we to grow? What should we do?” That’s why I say introspection. There should be introspection. “What do I want in this life? I should be able to love many more people without any lust or greed or expectations.” All right. Then the floods of abstract love will flow. She gives you witness state. She gives you peace. How many things She has to give you by which you become so powerful, so very powerful. No one can trouble you.



She gives you security. She gives you peace. She gives you wisdom. But if you want to ask for stupidity, She cannot do it. It is impossible. She hasn’t got it with Her. So every Sahaja Yogi who has to grow, must know what is in store with you own Kundalini.

A letter from Abraham Lincoln to his son’s teacher

Abraham Lincoln was what we call a “Realised Soul”, means he was born with his Kundalini

awakened. Despite the fact he was not aware of it; it was reflected in his actions and character.
We can see the beauty of his heart in this so right and so enlightened letter. Actually it would be so actual to imbibe as a basic background in our schools system



He will have to learn, I know,

that all men are not just, all men are not true.


But teach him also that

for every scoundrel there is a hero,

that for every selfish politician,

there is a dedicated leader…


Teach him that for every enemy there is a friend.

It will take time, I know; but teach him if you can, that a dollar earned is of far more

value than five found…


Teach him to learn to lose…

and also to enjoy winning.

Steer him away from envy, if you can,

Teach him the secret of quiet laughter.

Let him learn early that

the bullies are the easiest to lick…

Teach him, if you can, the wonder of books…

But also give him quiet time

to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky,

bees in the sun, and flowers on a green hillside.

In school teach him

it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat…

Teach him to have faith in his own ideas,

even if everyone tells him he is wrong…

Teach him to be gentle with gentle people,

and tough with the tough.

Try to give my son

The strength not to follow the crowd

when everyone is getting on the bandwagon…

Teach him to listen to all men…

but teach him also to filter all he hears

on a screen of truth,

and take only the good that comes through

Teach him, if you can, how to laugh when he is sad…

Teach him there is no shame in tears.

Teach him to scoff at cynics

and to be aware of too much sweetness.

Teach him to sell his brawn

and brain to the highest bidders,

but never to put a price tag on his heart and soul.

Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob…

and to stand and fight

if he things he is right.

Treat him gently, but do not cuddle him,

because only the test of fire makes fine steel.

Let him have the courage to be impatient…

let him have the patience to be brave.

Teach him always to have sublime faith in himself,

because then he will always have sublime faith in mankind.

This is a big order, but see what you can do…

He is such a fine fellow, my son!

First the connection must be established

Another thing that happens to you is with your attention. Now our attention is outside, the reason is our brain has become like a prism, and the rays that come into us of awareness also are thrown out and as a reaction our attention goes outside. If I tell you take your attention inside you cannot take it, just cannot. Something has to happen inside and that's why when this Kundalini rises within you then your attention is attracted inside and this happening takes place. And then you find that you can enter inside as well as outside. But otherwise you cannot. Many people say that we are praying, now you are praying outside there is no connection, first the connection must be established. So when your attention is outside you react to everything. For example, I come and see these flowers, then I react to it and then I say something, or another thing I see all the time I am reacting outside. As a result of all the kind of sensations we get out of our reactions our attention becomes absolutely disturbed and we get into a lot of troubles.

How much your Mother loves

Think of... how your Mother loves you, who is your Mother... if you really believe in Her, in Sahaja yoga. these two things should solve your problems - no more thinking. Just think how much your Mother loves - when you think how much your Mother loves you, you are jumping onto Her Kundalini, and at that time when you jump onto Mother's Kundalini, then there is no thought. Complete silence will exist once you come onto Mother's Kundalini - but not through your mental projection, but through your meditative spontaneous experience - just feel the joy of that. Just think how much your Mother loves you, and then you are jumping onto Her Kundalini.

Spread Sahaja Yoga

... as I requested you, we have to work it out now. Individually, we have to go all out to see that we spread Sahaja Yoga and talk about it. On this day I give you complete freedom to do what you like to spread Sahaja Yoga. You need not ask me any permissions, and you can try everything that you want to. But should be something decent, should not be something indecent and something which is not behoving a Sahaja Yogi. Even if you have to write letters or answers or anything, even if you have to show the anger, it should be done in a very decent and a beautiful manner. And it should show that it's a yogi who is talking.

Eight Ganeshas

"India is the microscopic form of the whole earth, Mother Earth. So, in the triangle of Maharashtra we have got eight Ganeshas, which are manifesting vibrations, and were recognized by great Saints of Maharashtra. But, as you have seen, as a grace of these great Saints, especially Maharashtra has created human beings who have shraddha as the highest expression of their emotion and mind. Because of that lofty vision in the mind, whenever they see something on this sublime nature, their thoughts go to God. Thanks to the Saints of that State that people have that sensitivity and that kind of a movement".

(H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Shri Ganesha Puja, Riffelberg, Switzerland, 2/9/84)

Ashta Vinayakas

"... one has to understand how it is so important in Maharashtra that people worship Ganesha. As you know there are Ashta Vinayakas, eight Ganeshas are there, around this area, and this triangle of Maharashtra, which has got on one side one big mountain. On the other side we have another mountain, which, of course, is not in Maharashtra. And also on top we have another mountain. So like a triangle, which is made like a Mooladhara, means the Kundalini itself. So the Kundalini of the whole world resides in this area. That's why it is called, we should say, as Maharashtra, is the country which is very great, the nation which is very great.

(H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Shri Ganesha Puja, Sheri, near Pune, Maharashtra, India, 15/12/91)

when the Kundalini rises.....

“.. Take another example of a piece of cloth. It represents the attention. Before realization it is all spread out and in all directions. Now take a finger and poke the cloth in the center from the bottom and raise it upwards. What happens?

The cloth is pulled up to a point and in the process it just wraps or falls around the finger. In the same way, when the Kundalini rises, it pokes the attention, raises it to the Sahasrara, where it gets enlightened by the light of the Brahmha Chaitanya.

It then just wraps and falls in line with the Kundalini ’s path on the Shushumna Nadi in the center. What has actually happened is that on realization, our Chitta is pulled inside from wherever it is spread out in the outer mundane world.

The Chitta is thereby enlightened. This is the so-called state. But in reality we human are slaves of our habits. We out of sheer habit do not allow our Chitta to stay put in that state permanently. Actually the Chitta should not go out. .”

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...."

Secretes of the sacrum bone

(Sacrum Bone, as published in Taber's encyclopedic
medical dictionary, edition 17. )

Enlightenment (Self Realisation) might be obtained through the awakening of the subtle spiritual energy called the Kundalini lying dormant (latent) in the sacrum bone (Mooladhara sacrum) placed close to the bottom of the spine.

The problem of the sacrum bone is worth, here, a short analysis. The anatomical name coming from hierónostoún (holy bone' Gr.) was used in the time of Hippocrates (about 400 BC) and was translated by the Romans through sacrum (sacred' Lat.). Halyah (chain link or vertebra' Hebr.) has the Name of God Yah (Short form of Yahweh) as its root. Why this bone had been called a "holy bone" had been a mystery for centuries. Some thought that the bone was used in the sacrificial rituals, others, that it played a role in the protection of the genitals (considered to be sacred in themselves), or that the Last Judgment would require this bone to be intact as a receptacle of resurrection.

The ancient world believed that the sacrum was the last bone subject to decay after death (conviction found in a Jewish folk story) [1]. This idea is also found with the Muslims, being mentioned in a Hadith: "Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said:" Everything of a human body will waste away' perish or decay except the last coccyx bone (Al-ajb, Arab.) and from that bone Allah will reconstruct the whole body" [2]. Thus, no one should be surprised at the Yogis considering the Kundalini awakening as tantamount of resurrection. Etzem (bone; essence' Hebr.; tz' vertebra' Egypt.) has etz (tree' Hebr.) for its root' a reason for which it was asserted that the sacrum (atz' Hebr.) is the tree (of life, we should add; ch. IV) in its seed form [3]. The double significance of the word etzem, in our opinion, makes possible the correct interpretation of Adam's sentence about the Feminine Principle (Eve):"This time it is bone of my bones... this shall be called Woman" (Genesis 2:23)' a sentence that becomes:" she who is essence of my bones" (the feminine energy Kundalini being the sacred essence of the respective bone).

The Mooladhara was shown to be controlled by Ganesha' the Divine Son depicted with an elephant head by the Indian iconography. Indeed, any anatomy book provides the image of an elephant head for the group made up of the sacrum bone (elephant's triangular face) having on both sides the iliac bones (as its ears) and the coccyx (as its curved trunk) at the bottom. Likewise, the graphic sign of the holy syllable AUM (that is also close related to Ganesha) depicts the elephant head seen from the profile: the ears on the left and the trunk on the right.
