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.

Krishna has said leave them to me and I will manage

Krishna has said in His Gita, ‘Sarava Dharmanam Pratyajyam Mamekam Sharnam Vaj.’



Forget about all your dharmas. Dharmas meaning that we have a dharma of a wife, of a husband, of a member of the society. All of them have their own dharma.



But He says leave them and leave it them to Me and I will manage. This is it, we have to learn, is to say that it is this Divine Power which will solve our problems. As human beings its a very difficult state, and this state only can be achieved through meditation.



I am not saying that you go on meditating for hours together. Not necessary, but with full faith in yourself and in the Divine Power, if you work it out, I am sure, it is not difficult to rise to that state of consciousness. That is what we have to achieve.



It is possible for men as well as for women. They don't have to think how can we, Mother, do it? After all, see all such people are no good for Sahaja yoga. Those who have diffidence about themselves cannot do anything. But those who are surrendered and those who think they can do it, can manage all this transfer of their power to the Divine Power. Just put it on the Divine Power.



Now supposing I have a car which can drive me down. So if I have a car, then I don't put bullocks on it. I don't push my car, I just sit inside and use it. In the same way if you have this great power around you, if your Sahasrara is absolutely, completely submerged in it, then you'll be amazed how things work out for yourself.

Surrender to find the Truth

Today, I bow to all the Sahaja Yogis who have found the Truth. There has been, from ages, the seeking for the Truth.




And when people discovered that there’s no other way but to surrender to the Divine that you can find the truth, they did not know how to do it, how to work it out. They have been seekers all over the world.



I went to Turkey and I was amazed there have been lots of Sufis, but their disciples were not Realised souls. Because the Sufis also did not know how they got their Realization. Such darkness existed around people who were seeking.



All over the world, I find, when I was a little girl, that they are completely ignorant about how to find the truth. So many were lost in all kinds of so-called ‘religions’ and’ rituals’.



All kinds of rituals they used to do; morning till evening, some sort of a ritual they would do. Whether they were Hindus, Christians, Muslims, they all believed that by doing all these rituals you will achieve something; that you will know the Truth; that you will get your Self Realisation.



All such seekers went to wrong people and to wrong directions because they were really seeking from their heart. So they were very misleading and they were mislead, into such horrible black areas that they did not know what they were seeking, what they are supposed to seek, what they have to have.

Navratri - 5th Night - Panchami

SKANDAMATA - Who Gave birth to Karttikeya

Today being the Panchami Read Argala Stotram -

http://nirmalvidya.blogspot.com/2008/09/argala-stotram.html

What today you have been asking me for the victory, I have to tell you that you are very safe in the fort of your meditative state and very well. In meditation only you can grow, you cannot grow otherwise. It is like the sunshine for any tree. You have to be in meditation, in Nirvichara, you don't have to oppose anybody, you don't have to agree anybody, you don't have to say anything. Specially for other Yogis, You don't have to say anything. Anybody whom you find to be funny, just go into meditation and you will be amazed how things will change, and this is your power. How many people have got realisation in this world? Very few. They are growing up - all right, they are working it out. But what is lacking in them is the Meditative Force.

THE BEST WAY IS TO SURRENDER AND THE SURRENDERING IS EASIER. YOU JUST PUT ME IN YOUR HEART, ALL THE TIME, THE SIMPLEST WAY. THEN YOU CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT IT. YOU CANNOT EXIST WITHOUT IT. YOU FEEL COMPLETELY LOST. IT'S KIND OF A VERY DETACHED LOVE. YOU JUST FEEL ABSOLUTELY RESTED, BLISSFUL, AND CONTENT. THEN YOU DON'T WANT ANYTHING. THAT IS THE STATE, ONE HAS TO ESTABLISH. IT IS SO EASY FOR YOU BECAUSE I AM IN PERSON WITH YOU. ONLY PROBLEM THAT IS THERE AS I TOLD YOU IN SAHAJA YOGA THAT YOU HAVE TO RECOGNISE ME TO BEGIN WITH.

But to recognise me is rather difficult because I am a Mahamaya and so normally you might come into that mess created by Mahamaya. But as I told you the other day that you could not have faced me in my other form. Imagine a person with a sword in the hand sitting on a lion. Could not have faced it. So I had to be Mahamaya and this is what it is, that in this form you can come close to me, you can talk to me, you can also take my advice, if you want. So this counseling can be done better. I could decode everything to you. I could tell everything about it. But to KNOW THAT YOU ARE SITTING BEFORE MAHAMAYA ITSELF IS VERY HELPFUL. So don't get lost into the garb of Mahamaya. In your protocol, in your understanding, in everything you have to remember that we should not make mistakes and we should try to surrender. Automatically you will learn everything. There is nothing to be taught to you.

That state is such - like a tree. When it comes to its full bloom, it gives flowers and the flowers come to it's own maturity that give fruits. That is how you are built in. That is how you grow. What then happens you yourself feel your own growth and enjoy it and just live happily with it. So ultimately my destiny is one that I should make you all very happy and joyous. That is my destiny. That is why all this struggle is going on. I hope I fulfill my destiny and your destiny too. MAY GOD BLESS YOU

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.

H. H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

(10.05.1998, Cabella, Italy)

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.

Advice Given By H.H. Shri Mataji Gudi Padwa, 24 March 1993

This is the first day of the year of Sat Yuga. Nature will show you that Sat Yuga has started. Sahaja Yoga has brought Sat Yuga. You should have faith in yourself... you have to believe in yourself... you are realised souls. You should have faith in the working of Sahaja Yoga. What works is your enlightened faith. Complete trust should be there. Look at me, single handed I have spread Sahaja Yoga. Just have faith in Param Chaitanya. If you have any doubts... just ask me. God is not there (in the physical form) but at least I am there to talk to you. Hence Sahaja Yogis should now be free from doubts.


1. Leaders should be very careful. They should become free of all arrogance. They are only a communication link, like I have to put a letter in the envelope and post it. They should be careful of possessions.

2. Whenever we are planning something we should keep our attention on the most important thing. You should keep your priorities clear.

3. If there is negativity, you should tell me... I will work it out.

4. Often organisers get worried about money. In Sahaja Yoga you will always get money but if you worry about money then you will not get it. Money is not so important.

5. We should have wisdom about each other.

6. You should not have any fear. It is all a drama going on... there is nothing to worry. If you say that I am afraid then what am I to say? Even if you make a mistake, it does not matter. I can tell you it is mistake... you should not mind. If there is something to correct... I will correct it. If you are afraid... then your ego will come up... then I will simply pierce it. At least you should not be afraid of me. We learn from our mistakes. We should not be afraid to make mistakes.
(Australian Sahaja Newsletter - 10 February 1996)


Supposing there is no oil in this lamp... it will all go off. It has to have oil. It will go off. So the dedication part is the oil in you... is the attachment... complete attachment to your source. That's the dedication. But that dedication should not give you any other ideas but of a light which shines, which corrects others, guides the path of other people. If that is not so, then the source that you are tapping is not coming to you fully, and that your light is not burning properly. So into Dedication when you go, you must not think that it is any surrendering that you become like a cabbage. But you become dynamic. You become real power... not of destruction, but of construction. I mean, for destruction you do not need much power. And that power, sustained power, flowing power... has to be there. For that... Dedication is needed.

Surrendering to attain Thoughtlessness

Many people say, "we have surrendered everything", but it does not happen because they do it only in talking. Surrendering is not talking. You have to surrender to attain thoughtlessness. That is you have stopped thinking. When you stop thinking you come to the center. When at the center, immediately you go into thoughtless awareness, i.e. become one with God's power, and when you are one with the God's power, He looks after you. He takes care of your small things also. You will be amazed. It is worth trying and after that you will realize that what you were doing earlier was wrong. So once you are in thoughtlessness you will get all inspirations, all powers and everything.


H. H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
(Nirmala Yoga, 1982)

Surrender to the Subtler Being

We can only understand dedication of something, which looks bigger in a gross way, which appears in a gross way. But we cannot dedicate ourselves to something that is so much subtler, which is so minute, which is so much deeper, which is so much effective, which is so much dynamic, so universal and so eternal. We cannot think of dedicating ourselves to that. We can surrender ourselves to somebody who looks like a mountain, who comes to oppress us like a mountain, which is like false guru. But to surrender to your subtler being - which you cannot see with your eyes, which is not audible, but, in effect is so powerful; like the atomic bomb when the atom is split - when it is not split, it is everywhere. But at the subtlest point it is so dynamic, that when you separate it, it becomes such a dynamic force of destruction. As your attention has now penetrated into the subtler side of this universe, get deep and deeper into it. (31, 07, 1982, UK) All these things are to be understood after realization, and after maturity. Before that it is not possible. Beyond all these conceptions you have become your Self, now ready, to be responsible, to be what you are made for. Like the ship is built, is brought to the sea, tried, and found out to be sea-worthy to sail out now, into the sea. So this is the second phase where you have to sail out, when you know everything about the ship, everything about the sea. With complete freedom and wisdom, you have to sail now. Not afraid of any storms or any hails or any typhoons because now all you know, your job is to cross through. (31, 07, 1982, UK)

Introspection in Meditation to be a Sahaja Yogi

If you become the ideals, the power of ideals itself will make you so dynamic that you don't need to consult anybody, you become the ideal. They are like torches. Your ideals itself will be enlightened. So the first attitude should be, how do we deepen ourselves? That should be the first attitude. (06, 11, 1983, UK) So in your meditations, you have to sit down. Now what do you see in meditation. Try to see all the chakras, what chakras are catching, face it yourself. These might be from your past life that some chakras are weak, try to make them all right, try to strengthen them because ideals have to be worked out. The instrument has to be all right, if the instrument is a crazy one how will you do? So first of all you must develop your instrument properly, it should be balanced, powerful, and not cowardly. People should feel your power. Of course the power is of love, but love doesn't mean that you compromise with all the nonsensical things. There should be no compromise at all. It's a very self-certifying state. We cannot say when it is, so we just cannot say. It, the state itself, will certify that 'I'm all right now; I have reached that state.' You cannot say after five hours three minutes and two seconds you will become that. You just mature and see that maturity within you. Once you understand that, unless and until you become your ideals, you are not a Sahaja Yogi. (06, 11, 1983, UK) You have to understand yourself what are your problems, why are you behaving like this. You treat yourself as a child. When it is needed you have to rebuke yourself. When you have to glorify, you have to glorify yourself. So now you separate. You become the mother, and you, whatever you are, which has to grow, is the child. Mother is the ideal. She is the inspiration, she is the power and the child is the recipient. If the child is an obstinate fellow, then you can't do anything about it. Also find out, you might be one of them. I know who are like that. There are many. And you can find them out in no time. Obstinate fellows, if they live with ten people suddenly we hear reports of their existence. They are quite eloquent, even if they are not talking a word, people can tell you, "I had a fight with such and such, that person said such and such a thing to me, that person was so cruel to me, that person demanded this," you know which person, where. You see, as a diamond can be made out, thorns can be made out also anytime. You go near the thorn, anyone without exception, it will bite everyone, it is not going to spare, it is a thorn. So a thorn has to be a thorn. But if you are a Sahaja Yogi you have to be a flower, and a strong flower, and an eternal flower that always grows, does not fade out, always growing never fades, such a flower you have to be, then you will be surprised that you do not get into a trip of ego neither you go into a complete collapse of super-ego. (06, 11, 1983, UK)

Using the Kundalini to attain Peace

Now how do you remove the thought from your mind is the problem, thoughts are all the time in your mind …the Kundalini when it rises, a thought rises and falls off and another thought rises and falls off, but when the Kundalini rises, then what happens is these thoughts become elongated and that starts some work inside and there is a gap in-between. This gap is the place of our peace; if you achieve that peace, the world peace can be achieved. By just taking placards, by shouting for peace you cannot establish peace, peace has to come from the hearts of human beings. In the hearts of human beings peace can only be established when you establish the spirit within it's core where it manifests the bliss of peace. When you start enjoying the bliss of peace you don't want wars, you don't think of a war and that is the state where now the human beings have to rise and go to that. The Kundalini which is a potential thing, which is the potential power of desire within us which as we can solve the primitive, manifests itself and becomes aware itself, that is what is Sahaja Yoga. Today it's all Sahaja, it's all spontaneous. All life process has been spontaneous, but today that is what is so spontaneous, our attention becomes peaceful, absolutely peaceful, and when that peace is achieved that peace is established within your heart through the ascent, then every bit of that peace emits peace. Such a person wherever he is emits peace. If there is quarrel going on there will be peace… So with this attention being absolutely stationed on a balance, you start seeing the superficiality and you start discarding the superficiality you immediately see that this is superficial there's nothing in it and then the attention only accepts whatever is deep, whatever is divine the rest of it is rejected, it doesn't accept, it doesn't react, it doesn't say anything about it, it doesn't accept, it has nothing to do without it, it just separated, the attention keeps a distance from all superficial things, it has no enjoyment.


H. H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

Developing sweetness in the Vishuddhi - from the heart

The humility is the best way of conquering this ego of Vishuddhi, and when talking to others, try to develop sweet methods, sweet ways, not hurting other people. And you will be surprised that Vishuddhi will immediately start behaving in such a sweet manner. So this Vishuddhi on the right hand side is to be controlled by surrendering as it is said. Actually you surrender your ego to begin with. And this ego when you surrender, it has to be done from you heart, it should not be a lipservice. From your heart: "I don't want this ego any more. I want Reality." "Let the Reality be seen by me, felt by me, enjoyed by me." And once you start doing it from your heart, you will be amazed that your voice will become sweet. Apart from that, it will have the Divine Power flowing through it. That is what we say that you have now "wak shakti", means the power of speech. So when you surrender ego, what you do actually is to say that "I'm not doing anything, it is You who does everything"; so that a little drop has now become an ocean, and so your sound has got the power of the ocean. (04.09.1983, Vienna, Austria)

Surrender the ego - from Vishuddhi Chakra

But one has to realize that the message of Shri Krishna was to surrender. Now the surrendering that we think in the gross way is like an enemy surrenders to another enemy. So when the word "surrender" is spoken, we build up our barriers by thinking that we have to surrender something to the other part. But when Shri Krishna was talking about surrender, He was saying that "surrender your enemies to me so that I will get rid of them". Now the worst enemy that we have is our ego. And with ego starts all kinds of other problems, because it is the biggest barrier for our growth. And the ego starts as you know from the Vishuddhi Chakra, and can be sucked into Vishuddhi Chakra. Now let us see how is Vishuddhi Chakra made. All the vowels that we use come from Vishuddhi Chakra.... So as you know you cannot compile a word without a vowel, it is so important. A consonant is weak, without any strength, without the vowel. So the strength of a person comes through the Vishuddhi Chakra in his speech. But it can be absolutely stiff also; the strength could be absolutely stiff. Supposing you have a very strong weapon but you can't lift it, so what is the use of having a weapon like that? See, this Mr. Ego tries to make the weapon heavy and stiff like jammed machine-guns. Now that is what He has said that "surrender your ego to Me", so that when you say a mantra or utter words, they are effective as weapons, good weapons, effective good weapons, efficient. (04.09.1983, Vienna, Austria)

Surrender to attain Gravity

If one cannot surrender that doesn't mean that you don't do anything, but surrendering means "the worship", the respect for the higher, the obedience to the higher, not to argue it out, not to react; acceptance, absorption. Like a child absorbs the milk of the mother without questioning, without reasoning. That is why Christ has said, ''You have to become like children.'' But if you are questioning, then you are no more a child. So the first state, which you have to develop, is a childlike state, but a child that is a realized child, which has to have gravity. If you can develop childhood first then everything takes a proper course, because maturity cannot take place unless and until you start from the very beginning. And gravity means maturity, not frivolousness. (14. 07. 1984 - Leysin, Switzerland)

They describe it in various ways that you must surrender

Now, one surrenders of course with fear, if somebody comes with a sword and says alright, “you surrender”, you may. But, as soon as that person will disappear, he will take out another sword and cut his throat. That surrender has no meaning. That surrender is a surrender which is just forced onto you. All such surrenders have been creating problems because it has a reaction. But your surrender to Divine is extremely joy-giving, like salt, which dissolves into the sea, automatically into the water. That soluble nature is really joy-giving. If you can just feel that within yourself, you are one with the Divine, you are dissolved with the ocean of the Divine. And then what takes your form is nothing but extreme love, compassion and as a result, extreme joy.

Surrender to find the Truth

Today, I bow to all the Sahaja Yogis who have found the Truth. There has been, from ages, the seeking for the Truth. And when people discovered that there is no other way but to surrender to the Divine so that you can find the truth, they did not know how to do it, how to work it out. There have been seekers all over the world… Such darkness existed around people who were seeking. All over the world I found, when I was a little girl, that they were completely ignorant about how to find the truth; so many were lost in all kinds of so-called religions and rituals. All kinds of rituals they used to do, morning till evening, some sort of a ritual they would do. Whether they were Hindus, Christians, Muslims, they all believed that by doing all these rituals you will achieve something, that you will know the Truth, that you will get your Self Realisation. All such seekers went to wrong people and to wrong directions because they were really seeking from their heart. So they were very misled into such horrible black areas that they did not know what they were seeking, what they are supposed to seek, what they have to have. (06. 05. 2001 - Cabella Ligure, Italia)

Surrender to Open your Heart

To be an instrument of God, you have to be perfect, perfect personality, otherwise we may not be able to communicate the message of Sahaja Yoga in the proper way.

Many people say we are surrendered to Mother and we are surrendered to Her and, as surrendering, we'll get everything. But what are you surrendering? Is that a clean heart or a heart full of all kinds of wrong things? Or is that the intelligence, which is a very superior kind of clean intelligence or else are you coming out with all your arrogance? So, though there is the Ganges of Sahaja Yoga flowing, still you have to have the depth of a pitcher.
(06.04.1991, Australia)


So the surrendering part of it - you must know how to surrender and you must know how to keep whatever is of surrender because you surrender yourself in such a manner that you expand your heart absolutely.

H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
(21.03.1990, Australia)

Detachment is Surrender

... Detachment 'must start expressing' itself in your Realization. Detachment. What is surrendering ? - is nothing, because when you are detached, you are surrendered, automatically. When you are holding on to other things you are not surrendered, that's all. What is there to surrender to me? I am such a detached person I don't understand all that. What am I to get out of you? - I am so detached. - Nothing.
