Shri Krishna as Yogeshwara
So today we are going to see to the two aspects of Shri Krishna, which were the manifestation of his Divine birth. In Rama’s life they showed a man, a purushottama, the best of the Father in worldly affairs. And in Shri Krishna’s life they showed him, the highest Fatherhood as in Yogeshwara, or in Divine world. So the first aspect of Krishna we have to understand is the Yogeshwara, and the second aspect of him as the Virata. Yogeshwara means the Lord of the Yoga, or the power of Yoga. He is called because he reached the optimum that one has to reach as a yogi. As if he is the ideal that you have to reach. Now as a yogi, he was born of a royal family but he lived in the jungles, in the forest, with the cows, with ordinary people. He used to sleep on the ordinary places, like sometimes on the stone or on the grass when he would go with His cows for their feeding.
Secondly, he was very, very aware, absolutely aware of his powers, without any ego. He had a special power called samharashakti by which He could destroy all those people who tried to harm the Divine manifestation. The samharashakti is, expressed as the chakra in his hand. And another is the gada in his hand. These powers were within him, and He acted according to the power of Radha because She was the one who sustained the power of Shri Krishna. The proof of that is this, that when he was in Gokul with Radha he did all his samhara, work samharakarya and afterwards he just became a sarti - is a chariot driver for Arjuna. So for his disciple Arjuna he became even a chariot driver.
Another great quality of Yogeshwara was the complete discretion power, built in. So he knew who was a devil and who was not, who is good, who is bad; who is possessed, who is not possessed; who is innocent who is not. This was built in within him, this power, of complete discrimination. And he had a capacity, more expressing his witness hood, as a sakshi. He had a capacity, I mean he was a sakshi himself. I should say this way is easier to understand. He was a sakshi, means he had the capacity of witnessing the whole world as a play. ... Now this capacity in him to witness, has to be seen in every yogi. The element he controls is ether. We call it as akasha in Sanskrit. This ether as you know we are using now for our television, for our radio, for every sort of a collective work. So we have to be, in charge of the ether element, as yogis. And that is the subtlest of all, in the sense that, you permeate into everything with that. ...
The greatest quality of Yogeshwara is that he is not at all involved into it, detached absolutely. If he eats his food he does not eat it, if he speaks he does not speak, if he sees he does not see, if he hears he does not hear. It has no effect on him; no retention on it; no action on it. Whatever he is, he is complete.
H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, extracts from Shri Krishna Puja 1983, Geneva.
Today is a great day for all of us to be jubilant that the Primordial Being himself incarnated on this earth as Shri Krishna. So many aspects of his being have been described in so many of my lectures to you all; but the greatest and greatest of all the aspects of this Primordial Being was that he was the Yogeshwara. He was the God of Yoga - Yogeshwara. He was the Lord of our Union with the Divine. Without his permission and without his sanction we cannot be Sahaja Yogis. He was Yogeshwara and a real yogi is a person who gets this Yogeshwara awakened within him. The word Yoga, that we understand, is the union of our attention with the Divine. But still we do not realize the implications - what does it mean? What should happen to us?
Of course you get powers. As soon as you become the spirit you get powers. One of the powers you get is of collective consciousness - that is also the gift of Shri Krishna - and that you start feeling the collectivity. Your ego and superego is sucked in, so you get rid of your karmas and your conditionings and a new sprouting of the new life of the new age starts. But still what is the speciality, the greatness of Yogeshwara? Because he is Ishwara for you. He is the Ishwara of all the Yogis and what is his capacity, what is his nature? That for him everything is a play - Leela.
(extract from Shri Krishna Puja 1982, London)
This Yogeshwara Shri Krishna is also a Dhanvantari, means the doctor of doctors. He is the One who cures. You see, because it’s all the brain - and the vibrations which flow on the nervous system.

Environment - II
The state of our planet or Mother Earth is very precarious. On one side we see signs of great destruction at the hands of human beings and which are therefore our own creation. The potent idea of destruction is at work, is in human beings, but it creates destruction on the outside. This destructiveness is not necessarily very good, but blind and uncontrollable. It is this blindness and ignorance that has to be enlightened. According to the ancient Puranas of India it is precisely these dark days of Kali Yuga or modern times that are the times for en masse self realization or the age of enlightenment. ...
A pressing problem is that of the environment. The very existence of human beings is now being threatened. People have now become aware of the damage that has been done to the environment and of the depletion of the ozone layer. Why do we still have acid rain? Why do we have often disastrous climatic problems around the world? We have to find the answers to these problems. It is an extraordinary thing that in the developed world you cannot now be confident of getting proper food to eat. Every day there is a new scare about salmonella or a new product is put onto the banned food list. So, now food poisoning has become a very serious issue. What does that indicate? We have to know that this is the extreme of industrial development, by which we have become slaves of machines. Machines are created for our own use and yet we have become the victims of machines. We have to change the balance between machine-made and man-made things and take more to natural things. Machines create things like plastics, which have no natural vibrations and which are actually injurious to human beings. But, how to achieve this, is the problem. How to reduce the consumption of such useless things, like plastic, in our daily life? ...
It is people who make society and it is the society that preserves the country. So all these crazy things that come from this sort of freedom have to be brought round and cured or these countries will be ruined in no time. In my mind there is only one solution, that is, the transformation of human beings. Now this transformation is possible here and now and on a mass scale. I would like to show you on another occasion how it can be done and how to work out the emancipation of human beings, spontaneously and effectively and without paying a penny for it. Let me show you one day, how through Sahaja Yoga you can transform yourself and change the world.

The Environment
Now, about the environment. They are having a meeting on environment. That, too, is only solved through spirit. All environment problems can be solved only spiritual, if you have spiritual ascent. Otherwise, you cannot. You try anything; it’s like patching up the sky. See now, it’s a very deep-rooted thing that we don’t understand that spirit is the most practical thing. You see, we think spirit, we think it’s like a drunkard, you know. Spiritual man, he’s a cult, he’s a drunkard, he’s most abnormal. He’s funny. Either he hits people or runs away from them. This is the idea we have got about a spiritual personality.
But just see you are spiritual. You will find it impossible to use plastics after some time, because you will know that the plastics give you horrid vibrations. After some time you will really find it repulsive. It’s all right to sit in a train for a while on a plastic coach, all right, but, to sit in your house on a plastic all the time would be horrible and to wear a plastic coat all the time, our body will refuse. So when people will be spiritually awakened, they’ll give up all these nonsensical things.
So, they may say then, “What will happen to the machines?” Now, machines are for us; we are not for the machines. This is another concept is: whatever is created is for us and we are not for that. All right, doesn’t matter. Nothing will go wrong with the machines. Machines should be used for anything that is a public work. Like for your motor cars, for your trains, trams, all public work which is outside. For houses at the most you can use machines. But, for personal things, you must use handmade things, handmade things. For spiritual people, you like to wear something that is handmade or real. I can’t wear a nylon sari. Not that I am very fussy about things, but I just can’t wear. After some time, if I do not take out My socks, which are only nylon, what to do? My vibrations get jammed, completely. So, you won’t be able to wear next to your skin, near your skin, near your body, eating your food, everything in plastics, cooking in plastics. I mean it’s too much. Thank God, cooking I don’t think is possible, isn’t it? But aluminium is another thing. It’s very bad. Aluminium - you won’t be able to use. You’ll either try copper or brass, I think so. Now, handmade things we may have, because they are made by hand, so they have vibrations. People would like to have handmade. It is a part, so by that we remove the disparity of the world. Developing countries can do handmade things. You cannot beat them with computers. Can you? You go ahead, mad with your computers. You’ll have to come back.
You must understand the whole. If you don’t understand the whole, this is what is happening: like mad, you know computers are going ahead, ahead. Where? Into the ditch, into a big mountain. Now they have created a big mountains of plastic and they don’t know what to do with it. So, and now with computer, what will they do? They’ll create a greater mountains out of plastics. Maybe a Himalaya might be created, with the computer. So the developing countries should not try to follow these mad people on one side. They should develop their hand things and all that, because they’ll have to come back. Now, the handmade things in this country are so important and so expensive. You don’t care whether it is pressed or not. But in India you have to take nylons, because they say nylons is a symbol of development, not of over-development, perhaps, but of development. So they must take to nylons and plastics and to stainless steel and aluminium, if possible. That’s what we are doing.
When you have less things consumed like that, you use less things from your motherland, because handmade you cannot go on mad like a machine goes, like a rakshasa eating away everything and producing more. She has to live like that. It’s not economical. So when you have handmade things you have more value for your things, you look after them better, you feel better, you are comfortable and you need not be that smart, you see, machine-made. That idea of smartness is going down.
So, the developing countries should also learn a lesson. They are going after you. They are running fast. They try to run faster; they cannot. Thank God, they cannot. But they should stick on to that side. You see, one part of the country has to do something; another part has to do something else.
But, you people have to look after the side of machines, all right? I mean, handmade things, what can you make? Some ceramics, I think ─ apologies, some apologies for that. You better do what you know better and let them do what they can do better and share it. If this balance is established, there’s no aggression. Unemployment can be solved. All the problems can be solved, if you take to handmade things. You should take to handmade things as far as possible. Sahaja yogis should use handmade things. I mean, not the cars, but for their personal use. Even I would say, soaps that you use are horrid. The soaps that you get in England are not meant for your skins at all, for sahaja yogis’ skin. I can’t bear them. What you have to use is natural soaps that you get from any country you feel like, but natural soaps, which come from natural oils.
Foods also, natural food you must eat, more natural food, than artificial. All that will give you a better living and that is called as alternative, all right. That’s alternative is important, but that doesn’t mean you go on a bullock cart. You can export your trains to India, or your cars to India and get khadi from there. All right? Mutual understanding, because we are part and parcel of one whole and we just cannot exist by our only growth because then we become malignant, you see. One cells eats another. You have to. If you have a machinery, you have to eat other, because you produce so much. You must find markets for them, you must supply them, you must send over and then you must have other countries to exploit them.
People have tremendous respect for Mahatma Gandhi, but I don’t know if people understand what he said about machinery. That doesn’t mean the people who are doing machine work should give up, by any chance, but, some of them they can close down. For example, plastic toys for children is horrifying. You can’t even get wood toys now ─ nothing, just plastic. They are touching plastic. I mean, imagine, you cannot feel any plastic.
So, this is what a sane sahaja yogi has to understand. That’s how you can solve the problem of environment, also. Thank God, somehow with your affluence and too much of machinery, all the western people ─ I am happy to know, even in Portugal ─ realize the value of handmade things. But in India if you offer somebody in an handmade thing they’ll say, “Oh God, they have no money.” But stainless steel, “Great.” In a stainless steel, glass they’ll give you tea, you see – it’s very big. If you give it in a ceramic, “Oh, what this, village craft?”
They are to be told. But, if you create a demand, they’ll be all right; they’ll look after their handmade. And here you can’t do much. I’ve seen, you see, that neatness, that deftness is not there; that’s lacking; now they’ve lost it. Very few people have that left in them. Even if they have to cut one coat with their hands, they cannot do it. They have to use a machine, which cuts twenty-five coats at a time, you see.
Then this problem of, you have to have a figure exactly because these only can fit certain figures. You can’t have your own independent figure. This is all machine-like stuff, you see. You all must have that figure, otherwise doesn’t fit it. So, that is an ideal figure. So, everybody works out for that. See, there’s a new machinery comes up, you see, for that kind of a thing, then new styles come up. It’s such an artificial thing, all man-made, artificial.
From your democracy, your politics to your economics, to all your so-called ideas of creativity, everything becomes so artificial. Now people can’t paint. What they paint, if you see, you are just aghast. You don’t know what is this supposed to be. And it is supposed to be so that it looks, “There’s a hand, isn’t it? Can’t you see that?” “Yes, I can. It’s a little bit showing.” They can’t do anything. We can’t have Shakespeare, we can’t have Gauguin, we can’t have anyone of that type. We can’t have, say, Abraham Lincoln. You can have only machines, you see, bolts and nuts, fitted nicely. You’re fixed, you’re fixed, you’re fixed, you’re fixed. Everybody fixed nicely. Where do, I mean, this brain go? Where will this heart go? What will it do then? It cannot collapse. I mean, as long as you are existing, the heart has to beat. So all this artificiality has to be overcome by sahaja yogis. The responsibility is so great. Such a big building you have to bear on your shoulders, and the foundation stones have to get up in the morning to be chiseled out properly. So, I end up my lecture today. May God bless you!

Vibrations
Guru Puja 1997 from Sahaja Library
"After all, we have to know why have we come to Sahaja Yoga. Begin at the root of it. We have come to Sahaja Yoga because we wanted to know the absolute truth, and this absolute truth has been now known to you through your vibrations. You know it through your vibrations, what is the absolute truth, and you should work everything on that line, that absolute truth, whatever you feel on your vibrations you have to follow.
Unfortunately, I have seen many people think that their vibrations are all right, they are all right and whatever they are receiving on their vibrations is first class. Now, how to correct that point is very difficult. It comes from ego. When you have ego, you can never find anything wrong with you. And even if the vibrations are telling you something, it might be somebody else who is telling you something, because you are not there, your ego is there and your ego is just spoiling you and teaching you things which normally you would see clearly that "I'm doing something wrong, I should not have done it."
In this process of correction and improvement, when you indulge you should see: "Are you getting subtler or grosser?" That is the best way to judge. Now, I've seen people who go on judging on small things like vibrations - whether this vibration are all right or not in this tree or on this flowers or on this land, all kinds of material things they want to see the vibrations. But for what are you seeing the vibration? You are seeing vibration because some sort of material gain. You think that if you check the vibrations and the vibrations are all right, then you are quite safe, you will not loose this, will not loose that. It's not true. Because vibrations are not meant to judge all these worldly things and worldly matters. It's absolutely cheapening the vibrations. You should not cheapen them, because vibrations can suggest things which may be detrimental to your growth very much.
Once, I wanted somebody to go somewhere, so he said, "I didn't go, Mother."
I said, "Why?"
"Because I saw the vibrations were very bad."
I said, "That's why I asked you to go. If the vibrations were good, what was your use going there? That's the reason I asked you to go there so that you could help but before that you judged yourself, judged your vibrations and then you didn't want to go."

You are a treasure
I bow to all those who have found the truth and those who are still trying to find. The greatest problem of human beings is, surprising, that they don’t know themselves. They don’t know what powers they have. They don’t know what properties they have. They don’t know to what height they can rise. This is the main problem of ignorance about yourself. If you could just peep in your heart and start thinking about the spiritual life that you could have, you would know you are a treasure, treasure of powers of love, powers of justice and powers of wisdom. ...
If you are a Sahaja Yogi and if you are meditating everyday, you are cleansing yourself. You have a power within yourself which will show its results. It will show its powers and manifestation in such a big way that you start surprising at yourself – 'Is it what I am?' With the Kundalini awakening what happens that all this petty things as we call in Sanskrit, Shadripus, they all drop out. But we must face ourselves. Some people in Sahaja Yoga thinks that we can become a very great people or we’d achieve some great positions and all that. That’s not the point. It’s not outside. It’s not the outside ambition, but the inner light which has to shine through you. ...
Inside is the wealth. Inside is the power. Inside (is) everything that you can think of. There are people I know who never used to come on the stage to speak even. Now, they have become great speakers. And, I am amazed to see how they have been transformed. The greatest transformation is that you know yourself fully well and that with that knowledge you change others. Don’t keep yourself limited to yourself. You have to spread out. This power has been given to you to know yourself fully, and to be confident and to be kind and gentle and talk to people in that way that they know that you are a Sahaja Yogi. ...
If you people develop that knowledge within yourself, you can be dynamic. You will not have ambitions, you will not have some desires, you will not have anger, you will not have greed. All these drop out like that. First of all, we have to know what is our basis. And the most important basis is that we are born in a particular country. And we should get concerned about that. ... Not only India, it’s in every country one has to understand what is the need of that country. What they have to do to improve, to help, to rise, to transform. ... My main concern is that you should have concern for your countrymen. You are so empowered. Your Kundalini has reached that state where you can do a lot. I know some of you have done a lot and have worked out. But still all of you have to do it. ...
It is such a tremendous force I think sitting before me. They can explode all the myths of the world. I know that. But I don’t know how to ignite, what to do, how to tell them. So, now I would again and again tell you one thing, that on this birthday if you really want to give me something then give me this, that you show your confidence and you work it out wherever you are. You don’t have to change atmosphere. You don’t have to change anything. Wherever you are with honesty, with sincerity and with humble nature you can really do a lot. In every country you can do it, and in the whole world you can do it.
This is my greatest desire and I hope, I am a person who is desireless, you will fulfill this subtle desire I have that we should transform the world.

Non-violence
Hanumana’s whole life was spent in serving Shri Rama. And he was such a dedicated bhakta of Shri Ram. Now here the contrast is also that Hanumana had navadha, navadha siddhis, navadha siddhis, nine siddhis, anima, ganima, raguma, and all sorts of things, that he could become small, he could become big, so many things he had. Despite all these siddhis and the amount, the power he had, that Shri Rama once asked him that, “My brother, Lakshmana, is being hit and he’s very sick. I mean, he’s just dying, so you go and get a particular kind of a sanjeevani, a kind of a herb, which I want to rub on his head.” So he [Hanumana] went there and he couldn’t find it so he brought the whole of the mountain on his hand and gave it to Rama, “Now You select. I don’t know. I can’t find it.”
That is the Hanumana Shakti. And with all that power, He was such a humble person and such a dedicated person. This is the sign of a powerful Sahaja Yogi. Anybody who is powerful has to be humble and non-violent. Mahatma Gandhi used to say that, “What is the non-violence of the weak?” A weak has to be non-violent, what’s so great? That’s a policy or a kind of a protection that he has. So a weak person has to be non-violent because he cannot face, he cannot protest. But non-violence of the powerful is the sign of real non-violence. Those who are powerful, if they are non-violent, that means they are quite confident of their powers. Those people who are confident of their powers, why should they agress others? They just stand, “All right, come along, what do you want?” Even saying that, people run away. So those who are violent, angry, hot tempered, jump at everyone, torture everyone, trouble everyone, are the people who are very weak charactered. Their character is weak. If their character was all right then they would not have done all these things. That’s the sign of a person who is either possessed and under the influence of the possession - he’s doing that; or he’s too weak and he’s possessed by his anger because he doesn’t have that much power to bear anything.

Nirananda
Advice given by H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi:
I hope so many of you will become the Shiva tattwas in my lifetime. But don't think I'm asking you to suffer. There is no suffering in this kind of an ascent. If you understand that this is the complete joyous state, that is the time when you become Niranand. That's the joy named in the Sahasrara, the name of the joy is Niranand, and you know your Mother's name is Nira. So you become Niranand.
(Shivaratri Puja, Pandharpur, India, 1984)
All faces look like little, little flowers to me, holding my heart in their delicate petals. I didn't know how to control my tears, it was too much of joy. And they say, at Sahasrara one feels Nirananda. Nira is my name and the joy of nira. Today I experienced it on your faces which was reflecting in my heart, just as if the love has woven such beautiful poetry, so pure. And then Gregoire said that you are all going to meet me. I was very happy to know that we are all going to meet. ...
So now we have to realize that the Sahaja yogis have done so much, so much to channelize this Nirananda all over the world, so much. So I am very thankful to you for all that. And now we look forward to the people who are coming. They are coming here to enjoy the Nirananda and we have to see to it that we give them all that is Niranand. Niranand means just Kevalam. Kevalam. Ananda Kevalam is Nirananda. Kevalam, sheer, sheer joy, I mean nothing but joy, it's Nirananda. And this word “delight” itself is "of light," "comes out of the light" is, see, light and the joy, so much.
So this is: We are all enlightened. We are all Nirmalites and that's how you all are (in) joy. In everything that you see, you feel the joy pouring in. You can't understand how. You see something that you see everyday and there is joy.
(Talk on Nirananda, Vienna, 2/5/85)
It’s so nice to see so many of you here but a mother always has a little fear behind her mind. I hope there are not some people hiding behind the curtain in the garb of Sahaja Yogis and are going to bite sometime or are going to take away some good souls. So be careful, be watchful. Could be the jackals may be in your own mind, could be outside. We have to be careful. A day should come when nothing should disturb us, nothing should spoil us. I’m sure it will happen; all of us would be in that state, enjoying the complete bliss and emitting total joy - Niranand.
(Evening address, Guru Puja seminar, Gmunden, Austria, 5/7/86)
To enjoy Sahaja Yoga, in Niranand – absolutely without anything else but joy – then one has to know that he should give up all the myths with which he is living. All kinds of myths there are.
(Navaratri Puja 1994)

You have to know yourself
At the very outset one has to know what is the Truth, what are we seeking. It’s quite clear that we do not know that. That’s why we run after things which are false, which are more attractive, but basically they are very dangerous, very dangerous. And that has been happening – I’m sorry to say - in every country that people are just trying to mislead all the seekers who are truthful, who are honest, who are innocent. So what is the Truth that you have to find? Is said in all the books in all the scriptures that you have to know yourself. We always talk like this: I like this, I like that, I want this, I… But, we don’t know who are we. Who am I? Ask that question to yourself: who am I? Am I this body? Am I this mind? What am I? And then you reach really honestly a point where you realise that you don’t know yourself. You even don’t know your body, you even don’t know your mind. With this kind of a confusion we are living and that’s why all kinds of problems come up.
First thing is that you have to know yourself. It’s possible. Now the time has come for you to know yourself. It’s been promised that these are the times when you will know yourself. For that I have to say that already our creator has done a good job in the sense he has put this Kundalini in the triangular bone. This bone is called as Sacrum, meaning sacred. Means the Greeks knew it was a sacred bone. And this Kundalini, the one which is within you, is actually your individual mother, your mother. So, this power is placed within you, it’s your own power, and your individual mother. You have a mother which is not shared by anybody. And she’s the one who is going to give you your second birth by which you will know what you are. It is absolutely yours. Somebody asked me: “How much do we have to pay?” I said: “It’s your own, how can you pay?”
And you have to believe that it is with everyone of us, all over the world. Whatever maybe your creed, whatever may be your religion, whatever may be your colour, it is with everyone, it is placed there. Just as every human being has a heart. This is such a global Truth that all of us have this Kundalini within us. To raise the Kundalini might have been a problem, once upon a time. And it was the tradition that only one person among thousands was given realization or was awakened this Kundalini – was very rare. But these are the times when it has to be en-masse. It has to be worked out. And there are so many seekers now also. They were never so many before.
But the problem with us is this - in modern times - that we want to know everything through our rationality or through science. Both these methods are not sufficient. If they were, there would have been no problems for us. We have to go beyond it. Like Einstein has said that there’s an area beyond our human mind which is called as Torsion Area. And all the truths, absolute truths are known when you enter into that Torsion Area. This Torsion Area has different names. For example in Sanskrit it’s called as Paramchaitanya. In the Qur'an it’s called as Ruh. In every religion it has been described. But as you know religion also what it has taken in many different shapes in the hands of human beings. Human beings have a speciality of spoiling everything. ... So, even the religions in the hands of human beings are completely, completely ruined. And that is how we are today facing problems. People who believe in one God are fighting among themselves. How can that be? So much of perversion that has come through religion. ...
When you get your Self-realisation, then in the light of your Spirit you see the Truth. And the truth you see what is good for you and what is harmful. You can see very clearly and you also have power to take to things which are good for you. You are no more a weak person and immediately you give up whatever is wrong and whatever is destructive. This has, absolutely has happened to so many people in Sahaja Yoga. Not only that but all other things, all other problems, addictions and things like that, identifications have dropped. Because that’s not the Truth. The Truth is you are a part and parcel of the great being. You are one of the cells of the great being.

The Principle of Brahma
What is principle of Brahma? How does it exist? How is it born? How does it manifest? And how, it is detached and also attached. The principle of Brahma is different from Brahma itself, in description; like the principles that I follow is different from what I am.
It’s a very subtle subject and requires real meditative attention. ... As the principles on which you are based are different from what you are, in the same way, the principle of Brahma is different from the Brahma itself, but is the Brahma and contain(ed) in the Brahma. But the Brahma itself is sustained by the principle. In dimension, you may say that Brahma is wider, larger and, you can call it, even deeper. But the subtler is the principle.
This principle exists with Brahma at the beginning of the universe, of creation. At the very beginning it exists, but as it is an eternal play of creation, destruction, sustenance,, and in Sanskrit we call it Stithi, state of performance, you can call it. In all these three stages, Brahma principle changes, according to the container that it has. Like here the light looks like, the shape looks like, outer shape of the globe that is covering it. Looking like is the maya, is the illusion. Something that looks like something which it is not; this phenomena is the maya, is the illusion. So the principle acts, pulsates the Brahma and in the Brahma exists all the powers which later on manifests the creation.
So the principle which is the Divine Power, the aura of that, or the thing that is sustained is the complete Brahma and that Brahma has got three powers, namely, one of existence, second of creation, third of sustenance. The principle is the pulsating power of the Brahma. And it is represented as Om. When we say Om, is used also in the Christian prayer as Amen, is the same as Om, there’s no difference. When we say Om, actually the action of this principle in the form of Om, like this, which is written on your forehead, if you can see, inside, in that way here.
This principle is the, you can say, the foetus, this principle is the foetus of the Divine Power. Then the same principle, or you can call the seed, then it divides into three channels and enters into the creative, sustaining and the existing power of the Brahma Tattwa and manifests it. We haven’t got any, but it permeates; just like the river flow and permeates in the soil and nourishes. In the same way, this principle of Brahma flows, permeates, pulsates and nourishes the surrounding area of Brahma. ...
So now people think then, “What is God?” Question comes in. Where is God, what is He, what has He got to do with Brahma and the principle that is Brahma. God is the principle. He is the attention, He is the joy and He is the truth. And the Brahma that surrounds it is His power permeated, enlightened by His. The same Brahma has got the capacity to get itself transformed into the creative, sustaining and the, you call it, existing or destructive powers. We can see a small little thing, how it manifests a tree; we never think from where does the tree come out, from where does the root comes out, what creates the flowers, what gives it the fragrance for the seeds to not have an effect. But there is definitely a mechanism which is very microscopic inside the seed placed there. And seed is the form where there is no movement, no manifestation, no creation. In the same way Brahma can be in seed form.
So the sustaining power within us or the creative power within us, or, what you call, the destructive power or the left-side power which we call as the, is the existing power. All these are manifested by principle of Brahma but by themselves they are not. So Sat Chit Ananda, the truth, the joy and attention. The nature of Brahma which is this, is God.
Why, what is Shakti then, the question comes. The Shakti is the complete Brahma plus the power of God. ...
The essence of Brahma is the Ganga Tattwa as in the Sanskrit it is called as the Ganga Principle. From here we have to understand that is the first principle and that is the principle of innocence. That is the principle of holiness, that is the principle of chastity within us, that is the principle by which we preserve ourselves, by which we respect ourselves. That principle has been incarnated on this earth, as I’ve told you, He’s created as Ganesha but He incarnated as Jesus Christ. He’s the Brahma, He’s detached and that’s why He could be resurrected. No other incarnation could be resurrected; He was not born, it was a conception, desire. And that’s why He was resurrected; you all perhaps do not know. ...
This is the principle of Brahma which is detached. The principle of Brahma is detached, that acts and takes away the interest, the interest goes away, the attention goes away. You’re not bothered about it. This principle cannot be overcome. It is the principle itself. It cannot compromise, that’s the point, being absolute. Absolute things cannot compromise. ...

Austria
Now Austria is a very important place, it is the bridge between the left and the right. We can say that now all Western Europe is becoming leftish because of the influence of alcohol and frustration from aggression and they’ve done their level best, now they have felt, because they are fed up with themselves, sort of, they have given up now.
And on this side is the German side, is the aggression side, those who are still trying to progress and temper and conquer and fight. Europe is divided unfortunately into two types of people now. The left-sided people are committing suicide and the right-sided people are still busy with aggressiveness and aggressive ideas. So between these two different things is Austria, it is a very important thing.
So this is a very strategic place where the left and right are bridged and the swing always moves from left to the right and right to the left. So there is a possibility that some of the Germans may try to take to the left-sided state. But when the right-sided person goes to the left-sided state, first thing happens to such a person is that he tries to jump on to the depraved side of the left side to begin with. ...
That is why you find that most of the communistic countries are extremely licentious, very licentious. They have no sense of morality left because they denied God, they say there is no God, that’s how they can do what they like. You see, they have gone to the other extreme and now they are starting again parapsychology. I mean you can say from Mooladhara, they are spoiling Mooladhara and the Swadisthana. So this is the situation that has started now. Under these circumstances you play a very important role as Austria and Austrians have been very important before also.
As you know that it was a very great country and Austria was regarded as one of the motherly countries. You’ve been a very balanced country. You had Maria Theresa, as a very great, great queen, I think, and all this happened there, there was a Raja-Lakshmi there. But to get the Mahalakshmi Spirit, to bring it to the Mahalakshmi, seeking should start.
One has to see these two channels within us because you are on the bridge. On one side it’s to be very left sided and on the other side having Mooladhara problems, you might be having left-Swadisthana problem as well. So this is a very funny situation and very precarious. The existence of a bridge is always when you have both the banks, firmly attached, otherwise the bridge doesn’t exist. ...
So you play a very, very rightly role because you have to keep this balance and this bridge clean.
H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, extract from Talk to Austrian Sahaja Yogis, Bordi, India, 2/2/84
And on this side is the German side, is the aggression side, those who are still trying to progress and temper and conquer and fight. Europe is divided unfortunately into two types of people now. The left-sided people are committing suicide and the right-sided people are still busy with aggressiveness and aggressive ideas. So between these two different things is Austria, it is a very important thing.
So this is a very strategic place where the left and right are bridged and the swing always moves from left to the right and right to the left. So there is a possibility that some of the Germans may try to take to the left-sided state. But when the right-sided person goes to the left-sided state, first thing happens to such a person is that he tries to jump on to the depraved side of the left side to begin with. ...

The Left Side
Advice given by H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
So the left side is the power by which you desire.
(Public Program, Brighton, England, 31/3/80)
The left side is connected with your innocence and then it starts flowering. You really become innocent.
(Talk at Caxton Hall, London, 27/10/80)
So the left side is to be developed in a way for Ganas to be pleased. And once you develop the Ganas with you nobody can touch you.
(Intuition and Women, 9/7/88)
This left side is a very, very important thing for all the human beings. If you have no left side you cannot balance yourself, to begin with.

Australia
Q: What about the Australians, Mother?
Shri Mataji: They are rather safe people, but they have to be deeper. They still are under a shock, I would say that they think that they are away from the whole world, separated and they have to get into deeper ways of life. They are loving people compared to other countries, no doubt, but one has to go deep down, deep down. You have to be very deep, very deep. You should know that Australia was once placed between Africa and India. I am going to Perth, the African side and then to Indian side which is Sydney and all these places. But you must not be satisfied with all the Western culture you have imbibed, the Western things you have, you are not in the West, you are in the East. Because you are not on the West, if you try to follow them, it’s just mimicry, it’s very superficial. So, not the Sahaja yogis I am saying, but otherwise, the people, Australians are very superficial people. They drink much more than the Scotland people drink, I mean in every way, they are very, very too much and that’s how they are wrong.
So they have to get to the subtler side by developing deeper understanding into the aesthetics of life, into the beauties of life, the beauties of language, all right? This is how if they go about, it would be wonderful place. English are very developed that way. They have lots of beauties, understanding of beauties, this thing, that thing. But they have become, sort of, they think they are the wisest of all, they are stupid. And they think they are the wisest. Australians, on the whole do not think they are the wisest, but they should know they can become the wisest. Because you live on superficial level, you see you think that everything should be tackled on superficial level, that’s not the point. You can be the wisest. As English could be, you could be, anybody could be. And as it is the Mooladhara, you should be the first to become the wisest. Maybe that the message of Sahaja Yoga should start more from Australia. So, go deep into yourself. Depth must be developed.
They are still very fond of the sea and the sun, this they will do all their lives, there’s no need to worry about anything like that, it’s nothing important. The sea is within you, the sun is within you, the Atma is within you, everything is within you. Try to enjoy within. Give up the idea of going to the nature for it or anywhere, it’s within yourself, it’s all within. That is what I mean that if you look at things superficially, you take it from other people, now the craze of going out is finished in England, practically people don’t move out that way. Or they don’t go to the sea also to that extent. But, still in Australia, you have to learn all that. Instead of learning the hard way, it’s better to do it in a shorter way, is to become deeper and deeper. Cut down your activities, become deeper, meditate more than going to the sea. Sea visits are bit too much I think, also the sun bathing is also too much, is all very superficial. They all have liver problems, you shouldn’t go to the sun anymore, you should actually shut all your houses and sit down inside and meditate. What a problem we have of liver.
So, do not treat any question superficially because God has given you, basically you are made of wisdom. You know, the whole soil has wisdom in it. But where is it, do you find it anywhere in Australia? It’s hard to find wise people, isn’t it? Sahaja yogis can’t talk to other Australians, poor things. The reason is, you are following other people who are not all right. Follow yourself only. Go deep down, is wisdom there, lot of wisdom. Find out yourself, because you are wisdom, you will give wisdom to the whole world, it’s all like that you know, everywhere upside down conditions. In Australia, it should be wisdom personified; they are the most unwise people. They will always support the wrong type of people in their diplomacy. I mean all sorts of unwise things they do. Why? Because they have not gone to their own depths of finding out their wisdom.

Shri Amba and the Left Side
Today we are going to worship the Devi; we call Her Amba, and by many other names. She is the last, we should say the residual Power. When She has done everything, She becomes the Kundalini and settles in the triangular bone of yours. This is the Mooladhara Chakra. But actually She is expressed more on the left side, because that time She is purely the Amba.
This left side is a very, very important thing for all the human beings. If you have no left side you cannot balance yourself, to begin with. And it is said that She gives you a real personality of a Sahaja yogi. That is, your left side if it is weak, then you have to worship Her and request Her that 'Please enrich our left side.' By enriching your left side, what She does – She is a Comforter, so what does She give you? First of all She makes you rest. It’s said that She makes you rest; that is, She makes you sleep.
If you are too much thinking about future and you are so much indulging into the futuristic planning, you have some problems. But the best thing is if you can sleep then it’s a great comfort, it’s a very great comfort to you that you can sleep and that you can take some rest. Without Her you cannot sleep; absence of Her, you cannot sleep. So sleeping is a very important function of the body which is brought forth by the left side. That’s why we worship Her, because She should give us rest.
She’s the one who gives you peace. She’s the one who gives you also illusions, called as bhranti. She gives you all the artistic talents. She protects you. But this part that is She is creating illusions for you, that’s very, very important; because those people who are against Divine, who are trying to be away from the reality, She creates illusions for them. So She separates you from those people, while you know the reality; and all such people who are troubling or trying to destroy Her work, She is the one who creates illusions. She is the one who resides as the Kundalini. So we can say that part of Her is the Kundalini, but another part that She has is the one which resides in the left side.
Now there are seven levels which She resides. Once you start enjoying Her on the first level, then She has all these qualities described to you: that She’s peace, She’s the one who gives you love, She’s the one who creates all the beautiful things for you. She is the Mother. And what She expects you is to enjoy Her protection, enjoy Her love and be always under Her complete protection. So this is a very important part of Her work.
And the second one is that She is the Kundalini. So She also acts on seven levels. Seven levels She moves, we can say horizontally, and seven levels She moves upward. And all these seven levels on both the sides, She does tremendous work for us. How She protects us through these seven levels is like this, that when you start going towards the left side there are seven deities which try to throw you back into normalcy. They are Shankhini, Dakini – these are the names. And by that you try to come to normal conditions. ...
So at one time She’s the one who is peace-giving, She’s the one who looks after you, protects you, and She’s the one who saves you from psychosomatic diseases. It’s a very powerful entity. If She was not there I don’t know what would have happened. So we should worship Her within ourselves, we should respect Her and understand Her. She is your Mother. As Kundalini She is your particular Mother. She is the one, Amba, who gives you your second birth. And as the left-side Goddess She gives you a very good support in your ascent, very good support in your ascent. Without Her you could not balance yourself. ...
Now as Sahaja yogis you have to develop your discrimination of understanding what others are; also about yourself. Why do you hanker after things? Try to understand. What is so great about it, why do you want to do it? Question yourself. Is it some possession, is it some fashion, or is it your individual feeling?
So, I’m trying to tell you that this left side of yours is so protective. At the same time if you are very aggressive about your left side, you are thrown from one to another to another, down into hell. And then you suffer. So you must understand, your wisdom should be there, which you can develop very much with the help of the left side. Wisdom can be very well developed.

Just another illusion?
To know God you should know yourself first. Without knowing that you cannot know God. That’s essential, that you should know yourself but when you know yourself, you know partly. The experience is not sufficient. The knowledge has to come. And the guru gives the knowledge about yourself. Now you have to tally it. You should find out whatever your guru has told you. Is it true or not? Is it correct or not? Or is it just another illusion?

In these modern times
In these modern times, what you know is much more important than what you do. It is such a universal awareness now because of maybe medias, because of communications, because of traveling, that a human mind knows a lot. It knows so much sometimes that its brain cannot even bear it. It is so overloaded with ideas and also the human mind is all the time anxious to grasp, absorb and retain whatever he thinks is knowledge. But he lacks discretion, so all kind of things are accumulated in his brain in the modern times, especially with the advent of all these media like television, computers. It’s not a media, but it’s quite a complicated brain again. The man had to know the technique of all these things very much. And this technique, if he understood, he could do many things, many more things than your forefathers could do.
Thus, materialism started taking its own development in the minds of people. So the curse of human beings at that time was materialism, when I felt that Sahasrara must be opened out. Before that, people were simple, innocent. They all believed in God. They never doubted. And they didn't even seek the truth. This much materialism created such a competition among human beings, such hypocrisy that people started finding out that this is not honest. Materialism is not joy-giving. You can't get peace out of materialism.
It started developing into their awareness that this is not the end of our achievement. This is not what we have to know. This is not what is going to give us joy and peace. Especially after war, this awareness started growing very much among young people. This is also because now the human awareness had reached the state of the brain. That's how they started knowing better, absorbing better and retaining better. You take a little child of today, he knows much better than you would have known when you were even twenty-five years of age, because he’s supposed to know about everything. And thus, there was no movement towards knowing what is the truth. But, as this awareness grew more and more, lots of seekers were created on this Earth. So many people who never knew they were seekers suddenly became seekers. It's a atmospheric effect, I should say. And thus, a new category of people were born, became aware that they have to find out the truth. So it was all simultaneously according to the time that Sahasrara was to be opened out. And thus this happened. For us Sahaja Yogis, of course, Sahasrara is the biggest event. Or we should say, whatever work all the incarnations have done, all the seers and saints and prophets have done, this is the culminating point.

Everything is fine
Today is the day as you know, my forefathers called it the first day of the year. And they have the Kalasha and the shawl of the Goddess as the emblem or you can call it as a flag of Shalivahan. In any way my delay is important because there was Amavasya (last lunar day of dark fortnight) earlier, and we had to get rid of that Amavasya for the first day to start. That's how the delay was there, there was jam, everything is arranged. We should not worry: “Why there is delay, why there is this?” Sometimes I may come earlier, I may come later, it's all arranged. Because during Amavasya how can you have my puja? Simple thing like that. It is all arranged, it's all worked out.
Everything is fine, just be your Self. Do not get upset with anything, do not get worried or anything. Just try to keep absolutely peaceful. I give you some tests by seeing how much you keep to that situation, of complete peace within yourself. If you have done no wrong, if you are a Sahaja yogi, there should be no disturbance. If others have done wrong, it's alright, doesn't matter, you have not done anything. As long as you have done no wrong there is nothing to worry. And as it is, even if you have done some wrong, God is there to forgive you.
So don't have any worry, nothing. Have all the strength, have all the courage and go ahead with this promise onwards. Because I see now Sahaja Yoga is going to take a new turn. Definitely it is going to take. We are going to come up to a stage where thousands and thousands will join hands. But first of all those who are in the foundations, who are the first people, must work very hard to keep themselves above all kinds of foolish temptations, all kinds of foolish things you have been doing, which is asahaja (not Sahaja). Language should be sweet, your behavior should be good, it should be very gentle and soft. You should move like a yogi, live like a saint, and people should see through you the greatness of Sahaja Yoga.
May God bless you!

No passport needed in Sahasrara land
Now also people have another very horrid, horrid conditioning apart from the religion – is of the countries, “I belong to India”, “I belong to Germany”, “I belong to England.” Everything is wretched. I mean, to say something like that means you are not yet grown up to the Sahasrara land. Those who start becoming some nationality do not know that your nationality is transformed, actually don’t need any passports. In the area where the Divine reigns no passport is needed, it’s writ large on your faces.

May 5th
Now, Sahasrara Day is on the fifth but we must celebrate today because everybody must have a Sunday holiday. According to our conveniences we have to work out everything. All right, doesn't matter, it’s permitted. The deities, they are working twenty-four hours, all the months and all the years round, continuously. Because they have a continuous supply of energy, which you can also have.

You may find me anywhere
So you may find me anywhere, you are walking on the street, suddenly you might find Mataji walking with you. So this is the second era we have started, and you should not be shocked if you see me sitting on your bed and putting my hand on your head, or you may see me in the form of Christ walking into your room, or as Shri Rama. That has to happen, so you should be prepared.
H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Sahasrara Puja 1984
Those who think I reside at Shirdi do not know the real Sai, for I am formless and everywhere.
Shri Sai Nath
The Guru is not the physical form, so contact will remain even after his physical form vanishes.

Sahaja Yoga in Malaysia
On the Easter break the Malaysian collective conducted some programmes featuring the Australian scientific research into Sahaja yoga as a way of attracting seekers.As a result about 500 people attended 2 separate programmes. Amongst them were journalists and politicians. We ran a separate session for the journalists who received their realisation and seemed very moved by the experience. One of the journalists has published his story in a leading newspaper in Penang. It’s a good story and exemplifies how the hard work done by all the yogis on the medical research projects is being used to spread Sahaja yoga.
