Sankranti means something new

Sankranti means that today there should be something new. The Kundalini has awakened within you, so as compared to what you were, you have become a new person.


But on the day of Sankranti you should know that you have to please the Goddess who is sitting within you. What should you do to make Her happy? Distribute sesame seeds and jaggery. This is for love. To increase the love for each other, we give sesame seeds and jaggery.


Today the Sun left its place and, in its northward movement, came towards us. At this moment we should be very thankful to the Sun. It is by the grace of the Sun that so many things take place in our country of which we are quite unaware. We should do namaskar to the Sun today and His power, His knowledge should come into us.


I would say that all of you have become realized and vibrations are flowing through you. Now you should make use of these vibrations, establish the Shakti within you, establish the peace within you and show the world that this power within is for us and we have to acquire it. Nurture this with your good qualities and truthful speech.


Today is special because the Sun is particularly benevolent towards us and we should thank Him for all this.


You have received a lot. There is more to come. You will get more. We should increase it.

New Year’s Message

So today’s New Year’s message is that next year you must give self-realization to many people. How many people you have given self-realization? That’s the main thing.


Just find out. What have you done throughout the year? I don’t know how to count it. But you yourself count. “What have we done all these years? What have we achieved?”


Attending My Puja is no favor to Me, or doing anything for the Puja is no favor to Me. My greatest Puja is that of human beings; and if you can achieve and spread Sahaja Yoga that fast, I’ll be very, very grateful to you.


I have worked very hard, I have really worked very hard. This Body, this Mind, all My Health, everything I have done for saving people. And you please also tonight decide and take a view that “What Mother is saying is very important and precious.”


We have to, we have to rise and give realization to people. But which is not so common — I am surprised — why people are behaving in this manner who are realized souls?


All my blessings for the New Year, for all of you ‘Happy New Year’! But — next year should be full of many Sahaja Yogis who have done work and who have achieved something great.

May God bless you.

Supreme Source of Love

Shri Hanumana teaches how to surrender

Also in Sahaja Yoga I have relationships with you as a Guru, as a Mother, and I don’t know, unlimited. But still, these two relationships we know of that I am your Mother and I’m your Guru. Now, as a Guru, My main concern is that you should learn all about Sahaja Yoga.



You should become experts of Sahaja Yoga and you should become yourself the gurus. It’s the only concern I have. But for that complete surrender is required. Islam means surrender. So, you have to surrender. If you are surrendered then only you can learn what is the way you will handle Sahaja Yoga.



Now, even this surrendering is done by Shri Hanumana. He’s the one who teaches you how to surrender or makes you surrender, because egoistical people don’t surrender. Then He puts some sort of hurdles or some sort of miracles or some tricks by which then a disciple surrenders himself to the Guru. Otherwise he’s not surrendered, he finds it difficult to surrender and the force that acts to make him surrender to the Guru is also that of Hanumana.



So not that He is only surrendered, but He makes others also to be surrendered, because only of ego you cannot surrender, so He’s the one who fights your ego and He puts it down and makes you surrender. So, in His own expression I would say that what He has shown that there’s a very beautiful area of right side.



If it is to be perfectly enjoyed then you should be completely surrendered to your Guru as if you are the servant of that Guru.

Shri Hanumana gives us mental understanding

If Ganesha gives us the wisdom, then He gives us the power to think. He protects us also that we should not think of bad things. That is we can say that, that if Ganesha gives us the wisdom, then Shri Hanumana gives us the conscience. I hope you understand the difference between the two.



Wisdom is where you do not need conscience so much because you are wise: you know what is good, what is bad. But conscience is needed in a personality where he is to be controlled and that control comes from Shri Hanumana which is the conscience in the human being.



Now, this conscience, which is Shri Hanumana, is the subtle form of Him, which gives us – is in Sanskrit called as Satasatvivekabuddhi, means, sat means truth, asat means untruth and viveka means the discrimination and buddhi means the intelligence. So, intelligence to discriminate between the truth and untruth is given to us by Shri Hanumana.



In the Sahaja Yoga system, if we say that Ganesha is the one who gives us, He’s the adyaksha, means He is the, I call Him as the chancellor of the university. He is the one who goes on degree to us, “Now, you have crossed this chakra, that chakra, that chakra.” And He helps us to know that what state we are in.



So, the Ganesha gives us say, nirvichara samadhi, which we can call it as the thoughtless awareness, and nirvikalpa samadhi. He gives all that and also He gives us joy.



But the understanding that “this is good, this is for our benevolence” – mental understanding – comes to us from Shri Hanumana.

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.

Ego has no discretion

Another thing I’ve seen that ego has no discretion, ego has no discretion of any kind. If you are egoistical first thing you lose is discretion, then what’s the use of having this nonsense of a ego which doesn’t give you discretion?


And people who have greater ego always then assert and you have to agree to that. You are more impressed by the people who have greater ego than yours and you like the people who are without any ego so you can oppress on them, but the discretion part is very poor.


That you can see, the other day one guru had, or the one gentleman, had come and he was given some mantra by his guru, but he can’t hear anything against his guru. Why? Because his ego has chosen that guru; because the ego has chosen how can the ego be wrong? And ego is always wrong, invariably wrong.


Everything is upside down with the ego-orientation. Gradually you will learn that in the west people lack common sense completely, they lack common sense in everything.


I mean if they had common sense there would have been much less problems, but common sense is lacking and also I find the same thing in Sahaja Yogis. They lack common sense. You have to become so wise that common sense should be your nature but common sense we lack.

Plastic affects the health

Plastic is much in vogue now-a-days. Even the glasses are made of plastics! That is too much. I cannot use plastic. Sarees are being made of plastics, everything of plastic!


Plastic is so much in use that there is every possibility that it affects the health of human beings. Children die because of this plastic. So we should try to avoid plastics as far as possible. But plastic is dominating the whole scene today.


In Mumbai people get their sofa sets made of plastics. Plastic to sit upon, plastic to wear, plastic to walk upon and now in a short time they will make cars of plastic! You are Sahaja yogis. You have nothing to do with plastic. I do not mean that you should move in a cloak. Sahaja Yogis should not do that.


They should dress up properly and live nicely. There is absolutely no need of hypocritically looking like Sanyasin or Sadhu Babas. But do not use anything which is not beneficial to you. You should avoid such things and protect your children also.

Chit Sada Rahe Maa Charanan Mein

performed in presence of Shri Mataji

Coconut never fall on human being

She beautifully creates everything and even She is so sweet, I tell you that if you are sleeping under a coconut tree. Can you imagine now? A coconut is so big, if it falls on anybody’s head, finished; stomach, also, terrible.


It can break your bone but it will never fall on any human being or any animal. Can you believe it? It’s a fact. That is the pritambhara pragnya. That is the quality of the Mother Earth. It never falls on any human being or animal.


How does She manage that? And you have seen how the flowers also form gently, you’ll never see the flowers growing, how the Mother does that; otherwise we’ll have problems, you see. Suddenly, you’ll see a flower tuke tuke tuke. So She, slowly, She does it and suddenly, oh!


She makes the leaves so beautifully arranged that they all get the sun. How She manages! Then She creates a beautiful shade for you, the color scheme, everything so beautiful and then how She nourishes that because all the leaves drop down and they give nitrogen again to the Mother Earth and then She again nourishes them. But the leaves have to fall down if the Sun has to come to the Mother Earth.


It is all Her doing but She does it so beautifully that we are not even aware of what She is doing to us. We don’t know. If you notice it, the one thing about the Mother Earth, beauty that She creates and how sweetly She does it, you will say that even one billionth of that, if we have, we could be somewhere, already, ruling, in the Kingdom of heaven, this is what it is.


So as you have got your Kundalini, you must develop that sweetness within you, in such a manner that people see you and think you are great Mothers.

Guru tattwa beautified by Mother principle

So today is the best opportunity for me to say that after the guru puja we have to understand that to be Holy means you must allow the guru tattwa to circulate in the Mother principle or the guru tattwa is to be controlled and guided and beautified by the Mother principle.


It’s only the Mother Earth that is beautiful because it can create so many varieties, so many dramas, so many things. Any other element, if you see, has nothing in it so it is She who can create.


So we should take to the Motherly quality more and try to bind our guru principle through that Motherly, beautiful, creative power so that we make our presence very agreeable, very congenial, very beautiful, full of interest and varieties; every time new flowers, every time new fruits, every time a new, new design.


As Kundalini is made of Mother Earth, we are quite capable of doing that. There are gurus and gurus and gurus but no one so far is such a master as you are of the Kundalini. If they were they would have given realization to thousands.


Why, because your Mother has penetrated into your guru principle and has risen your Kundalini, has given you powers to raise Kundalini, breaking your 7th chakra, so clearly. That never happened with anyone, even incarnations could not do that to the masses as you are doing.


Kundalini is flowing from your hands; the Ganesha is active in you, but it should never give you the ego or the sternness or the heaviness of the sea but it should give you the beauty of the Mother Earth.


Mother Earth is always bigger than the sea because She has to contain the sea. Sea can never be bigger than the Mother Earth. Sometimes it looks, sea, bigger but sea is contained in the Mother Earth. It cannot go beyond. So Mother Earth is always greater, bigger, wider than the sea.


So one has to understand that when Kundalini has risen, you have become all the seven chakras and not only the guru chakra and when you have become the guru chakra it is also bounded on all sides by the Mother Earth.


Under these circumstances, when we are so capable, we are giving realization to so many people when we are achieving so many things. If we could just become humble, congenial, beautiful, we can master the whole world.

Right to correct between brother and sister

Once you call somebody a sister, she's a sister. And once you call somebody a brother, he's a brother. It's not only that you should be born of the same parents, it's not necessary, but this is a very important principle to have a very pure society where everybody can live peacefully.


It's a common thing I have seen in the West, that a lady comes as a friend of the wife of the house. So, she's there and she is a sister of the husband, has to be. But on the contrary, next day you find that this man starts having bad eyes towards this lady, because, from very childhood, if you have not fixed your attention on your sister, with all that purity, you cannot have that pure feelings for another woman.


The starting point is your own sister. The son is born and then the daughter is born or first the daughter is born and the son is born. From that small age, when they are innocent, this is a dimension of sisterly pure relationship is developed, even when the society is so corrupt and bad.


But at a very young age, say, at the age of eighteen years, because of the social relations here and the social ideas, the second part, which is a brother's duty towards the sister, is to respect the chastity of his sister and to protect it, and also it is the sister's duty to keep the brother moral, morally all right.


So once it becomes freedom after eighteen years of time, eighteen years of age, then the sister goes with any man, lives with any man, the boy is not supposed to say anything, or if the brother goes and stays with anyone, the sister cannot say anything, she cannot interfere.


On the contrary, like India anywhere or I was told also in China and Egypt, even Islamic countries, if they find their sister going with another man, they'll shoot that man, in the Islamic countries. In India they may not shoot, but they will see that the sister is put right.


Same with the brother, in India I can say, in China also. If the brother is immoral, he's going the wrong way, then the sister tries her level best to bring him back to normal morality.


It's very common that if a man is doing wrong, then the wife goes to the sister and she's very anxious, and she becomes very upset about it. She goes all out to correct her brother. And this innate understanding exists within us.


In every person, whether you are born in America or anywhere, that if the brother is doing the wrong thing, if he is smoking, if he is doing wrong things, more than the mother, the sister feels it, more than the mother, the sister wants that it should be corrected, and she goes all out, to fight it out.


Mother may start crying, weeping, give up, but the sister will go on fighting her brother. In her, all efforts, she will see to it that the brother comes around. Also, other things like, if the brother is doing something illegal, something wrong, something which is detrimental to the society, it is the sister, who has a right, divine right, to go and correct.


In a society, where this relationship is very pure and where societies are quite settled down, the question doesn't arise, mostly, that the sisters do wrong. But supposing a sister does something wrong, supposing a sister goes out of the family, she tries to give up her family for somebody else, or she tries to dominate her husband or to do something wrong in the family, then the brother will go and tell her off, what he thinks of her, and will try to correct her.


So this right to correct between brother and sister does exist, not because it is some sort of an outward thing but innately from within ourselves. This is the Ganesha Principle which acts, on Vishuddhi Chakra where, whatever communications we have, we have a sister's relationship and a mother's relationship.

Soul-searching is important

Soul-searching is important to see, why am I so friendly with such and such person? If you think that you are friendly with such and such person for some other purpose, like somebody might say that, ' Oh, I am all right, because I am working with her,' or something like that, but why interested?


Because soul-searching is very important in these countries specially, because here there is no norms about how you behave with other women. So we have to be absolutely free as I said with each other in the sense like that brothers and sisters are.


And whatever are the limitations of a woman must be observed, like you see, say, if My brother is sitting with Me, I cannot watch a romantic picture. Cannot. If My daughters are there, My husband will not sit there to watch a romantic picture. It's very subtle.


With the brother you won't discuss something, normally, say about sex or about things like that, because it is such a private thing that you can only have this with your husband.


So, if he is a brother and you find him that he is trying to attract the person in a way that you should not, then you have to place yourself, against yourself, and see for your sake, why you are doing it? It's such a frivolous, nonsense thing, it's a joyless pursuit! So why should I do it?


Once you understand the importance that Sahaja Yoga, you can only achieve your ascent through purity. There's no other way round. Anything which is hanging on to you, will keep you down. And whatever you go, start dropping it out, whether it is ego, superego, anything.


But the highest of all is the purity of your mind as far as the sex is concerned. I will give it the highest part. That's what we call as innocence. That's the only thing that will take you ahead. And so we all should try to search our souls.
