Iran

Some Advice by H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi:

When we really balance our gunas properly, then we become gradually the master of the whole situation. The attention doesn’t get dragged into things that we have been doing or that we have understood through our memories, or through our experiences or whatever it is. And is not also dragged towards too much on the right hand side that we try to overpower, or try to dominate someone. Because if you move too much that side you have seen it becomes blood. It is difficult for people to understand how, when people become very religious-minded, like now Iran, the movement is on the right - all the austerities, all that, everything. Now bloodshed.
(Talk on Attention, London, 26/5/80)

Iran, you know, is in a great trouble. ... But things will work out, you will see. It will work out and the country will change. Its all nonsense, will be over. As it is they are suffering too much. They are very poor and fundamentalism, it is eating them off. They are all fighting among themselves. This is no religion, this is no Islam, this is not what Mohammed Sahib wanted. It is very difficult to explain to them or to tell them about Islam, that this is Islam, and this is what is the truth.
(Talk, Cabella, 6/9/97)

Ritualism

Advice given by H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi:

First of all, we should see that how our conditioning takes over our innocence. It makes you extremely ritualistic. Even in Sahaja Yoga, I’ve seen, I’ve heard also, that people are extremely, extremely ritualistic. Now the ritualism is like this: that you have to say something three times, you say it three times, seven times like tied up people. I’ve seen some Sahaja Yogis like that. ...
So one should understand a difference between a protocol and ritualism. An innocent child knows the protocol. ... So for children, you see, innocent children, the worship, everything is not ritualistic. It is heartfelt. You feel it from the heart: how to do the worship, how to show your love. Is very sweet way an innocent person does it; while a person who is very ritualistic, he may even beat another person because, “Why did you do this? You should not have put camphor in it? Why did you put the camphor so? It's very wrong.” There’s nothing wrong. If you do it with your heart, with your open heart, innocently, anything is all right. It is the open heart which is necessary, not the closed heart — “Why did you do it? Why didn’t you do it? Where did you sit? What happened?” Nothing.
Now you are in the Kingdom of God and here there are no such rules and regulations that you should be ritualistic.
(Shri Ganesha Puja 1993)

Some people know more rituals, others know more protocol, but it does not matter. I know the one who loves me. The one who loves others, loves me the most. I don't care about your protocols and rituals. It is nonsense for me. What does it matter to me? It makes no difference wether you say good morning or good evening to me. What you say to your brothers and sisters is the important thing.
(Chelsham Road, London, 24/5/81)

Quietness within, peace within, that’s very important. If there is peace you will grow. There’s no other way out. But you see, all this ritualism, sometimes giving bandhan all the time or raising Kundalini all the time and people even would like to see the table if it has vibrations, you see. That’s going too far. There’s no need to do all that nonsense. Sahaja Yoga is sense, it’s not nonsense.
(Talk in Armonk, New York, 27/7/88)

Is not necessary to have this ritualism, this kind of a rigmarole. Oh, all the time you go on. Everyday, morning till evening, nonsensical these things and they become fanatic. They start becoming absolutely fanatic about Sahaja yoga and this fanaticism can be very dangerous because they try to remember everything by heart this and that. No, not necessary.
(Shri Adi Shakti Puja 1995)

You must know what you are. First of all introspect. Accordingly you should work it out, but this ritualism is not allowed in Sahaja Yoga all the time.

The Mirror

In this beautiful surround, surroundings many of you are wondering why God has created these beautiful things. Because you people had to come on this Earth and enjoy the beauty that is one of the reasons. And now God feels very much fulfilled with the joy and satisfaction and a kind of a completion of His desire. Why God has created this beautiful universe has been a question asked for thousands of years. The reason is very simple to understand. This beauty that is created cannot see itself. In the same way God who is the source of beauty, beauty cannot see His own beauty. Like a pearl cannot enter into itself to see its beauty. Like the sky cannot understand its own beauty. The stars cannot see their own beauty. The Sun cannot behold its own brilliance. In the same way God Almighty cannot behold His own being. He needs a mirror. And that's how He has created this beautiful universe as His mirror. In this mirror He has created now the beautiful things like the Sun. The Sun has to see His own reflection also. So He has created these beautiful trees to see that when He shines they come up so well and look so green.

Then He has created those birds to rise early in the morning to greet the Sun. So the Sun knows that, 'Yes, I am there, I am existing' or else He has created these beautiful lakes for these trees to see their reflection and the lakes to feel their existence when the ripples start moving within themselves. So then He created human beings. The human beings cannot also see their own beauty, their own glory. That's why they are in the darkness. They are ignorant. They cannot see what lies within themselves. So they are running after something which is absolutely against themselves, which is ugliness, which is self destructive. And the struggle to get to reality is such a lot that as a result they destroy themselves. Like people have taken to these drugs, taken to all bad habits, of this place they say a lot of smuggling going on and all such endeavours that people take up because they do not know what beautiful things they are.

So now a mirror has to be created for them, to see for themselves how beautiful they are. Their mirror is their Spirit. That Spirit is to be brought in their consciousness, in their attention. If it comes in their attention then they can see their image. Now this attention that comes in, as in enlightened attention is called in Sanskrit language as Chidabhas is the, is the expression of the attention which is enlightened. But it is also said that it is got a nature, which is very transitory, or we can say which is disappearing every moment to moment. When this is happening what is to be done? For that you have to steady yourself with meditation, with hearing the enlightened talks, by seeing the good things of life without thinking about them, by seeing also the goodness of others and then you start seeing goodness in yourself also.

That is why I always say that one should not feel guilty. Because you are feeling guilty of something, which is just, just a illusion. You are guilty that you have got a shadow. It's something like that. So if you know that you are beautiful beings and that you have got a shadow is nothing to do with you and your beauty. If you can see you own beauty then you will be amazed that within us lies all those joy giving, all those beautiful things, which we are seeing outside but just now, the mirror is not all right. That's why you have to see the nature and the beauty. But, when you are one with yourself then you see all these nature within yourself. All the joy giving qualities of this nature within yourself. So I wanted you to come to this place just to learn how God has created this beautiful area for you people to enjoy and to be here.

May God bless you!

Abdul Kalam on the future of India

Recently the American journalist (and Sahaj yogini) Priyanka Joshi interviewed the former president of India, A.P.J Abdul Kalam. Here's one extract from a fascinating interview:

Q: How do you envision the epic communal divide between Muslims and Hindus bridged in India?

A: Let me tell you a story. The Europeans fought with each other for hundreds of years. They even created two world wars. But today, we see that these same 23 nations have created the European Union. There are rich, not so rich, and poor nations in the EU, and all of them are working towards making Europeans live prosperous, happy lives. So, in India also such changes will happen, in fact throughout the whole world — the earlier the better. To give another example, U.S.A. and U.S.S.R., during the Cold War, generated 10,000 nuclear warheads. Today they are friends. They are saying they are working for world peace, they say they will bring down the number of nuclear warheads. So, historically, this cycle has to come to India too. Good things will happen.

Higher than Sahasrara

Yogi: Shri Mother, could you say something about the Bindu and the higher chakras above that?

Shri Mataji: You see, I don't think you should worry too much about these. There's three stages higher than Sahasrara. I would suggest just now let us concentrate on Sahasrara, is a better idea. But Bindu, Ardha-Bindu and Valaya are the three stages in which one has to pass through later on, and you would pass gradually when you develop yourself horizontally. That's what we have started now, so let us keep to this idea that we have to develop ourself horizontally. We should see how we affect the other person, how we influence another person.
(The need to go deeper, Sydney, Australia, 6/5/87)


(replying to question in Hindi)
This is the trouble with you. You read some nonsensical books – Samadhi, Bindu, this, that, all that. Now please forget it, please forget all these things. Sama-dhi, Samadhi means, first is the Nirvichara Samadhi. First is Nirvichara Samadhi that you achieve and the Kundalini just comes out of your head. Sama-dhi means, the dhi means the buddhi. And when it has got enlightenment it means Samadhi. So first of all, the buddhi gets enlightened - I just now I told you about that only, the first enlightenment. Now, the Bindu and this and that are higher stages. Ardha Bindu, then Bindu and then Valaya. But you should not be futuristic, just now if you have read some book no use trying to show off that. That’s not a good thing. Just try to see what you are. Why do you want to talk about things which - which do not concern at this stage? Just now, supposing you are going by bullock cart, why do you want to ask about the aeroplane? Just now you go by bullock cart, then you get into the train, then you get into the airplane. All right? One by one, not like this.
(Q+A after Talk on Sahasrara Chakra, New Delhi, 4/2/83)


In Sanskrit language, a bangle is called as valaya and that is the last stage which one has to reach in one’s ascent. That means the complete.

Sahasrara Puja 1983: The Fourteen Levels

Kaulajnananirnaya Tantra

Arthritis

I find many people are not at all aware of their powers and not using them. When you don’t use your powers also Kundalini falls down. Why should She work? She’s not stupid; if you don’t want to use Her for what She has to achieve then why should She worry about you? So She just drops down, She has nothing to do with you. Then suddenly you come out, “Mother I got this trouble, I’ve got that trouble, this happened”. Especially troubles like arthritis and all such troubles come from people who don’t use their vibrations. Give it to the flowers, give it to the trees, give it to anything that is living but don’t shirk it. You need not touch the person but the desire should be ‘whom should I give vibrations?’ Only worry should be ‘whom should I put attention to? Where should I put this energy of mine?’ Once you start using this Divine Power it starts flowing much more, much more and your Mother, the Kundalini, is very happy.

H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, extract from Shri Adi Shakti Puja 1995

They might develop arthritis if they don’t give vibrations, or pain in the joints.
(Sickness and its cure, New Delhi, 9/2/83)

Arthritis is due to too much of vibrations. So if he just touch the thing, the place of arthritis and put your hand outside you can take it out. It’s just taking out of the vibrations. But give yourself a bandhan.

Sahaj Dharma

Sahasrara Puja 1997 from Sahaja Library

Sahaj dharma becomes within us a part and parcel which is a very great achievement because then you don’t have to do any rituals, you don’t have to worry about meeting other people, you don’t have to worry that your vibrations will be harmed. Then you don’t catch from anyone, you don’t catch also other negative forces. No one can harm you. That I call as the completion of your Shradha. ...

A dharma person might become too dharmic, illogically dharmic and go to the right or to the left. A dharmic person might think he is the superior person to others: that why should he be trying to save anybody else, let them go to hell, who cares. This kind of an attitude can come in a person who is dharmic. Also I have seen some Sahaja Yogis who start new methods in Sahaja Yoga. You do like this it will be alright, you do like that it will be alright, because they are not stagnated at the point of dharma, so they start telling people that you do this way do that way. But when you rise to the point of truth, then you don’t do any rituals, you don’t need any rituals, you are not bothered, because you are in dharma and here you are standing on the truth, and truth is much greater than dharma. For example, a person who is standing on truth - he doesn’t care for any absurd ideas about religion even about Sahaj religion. He doesn’t care that after all this is Sahaj this is not Sahaj, he goes beyond. In the sense he sees a global truth within himself. He sees the truth which is all pervading, not only sees but he knows and he feels and he is in that truth. So when dharma flowers into truth it’s a very beautiful happening and that should happen to all of you. ... So we have to go to the foundation of dharma which is truth.

William Shakespeare - one man or many?

I wonder if Shakespeare was one man or many people put together.
H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Caxton Hall, London, 21/7/80

I would say Shakespeare was a great evolved soul.
(Talk on William Blake's Birthday, London, 28/11/85)

If you read Shakespeare you feel like understanding that he was a great realised soul.
(Press Conference, London, July 1999)

(Shakespeare) was Avadhoota; means a person who has gone beyond all human destructive habits, Avadhoot is a very high quality yogi.
(Easter Puja 2000)


Was 'William Shakespeare' the pen-name of Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford? Or maybe of de Vere and his circle of friends? Read more:

Further comment:
We have both felt this is a strong possibility, after going to an exhibition in Hedingham Castle, UK on this very subject a few years ago. It put forward very convincing arguments for the de Vere theory, with quite a lot of detail about his life that would compensate for the seeming inadequacies of Shakespeare's own life experience. How interesting that Shri Mataji suggested Shakespeare could have been many people put together! Added to this, the good vibrations of de Vere also seem to bear it out. Christopher Marlowe seems to be another possible contender ... Best regards, Judy and John Dobbie.

Spontaneity

Sahaja doesn’t mean only that you get spontaneous Realization, it also means you get spontaneity, the whole nature gets spontaneity. All those subtle things that I have told you, they all get spontaneous and they work it out. Of course there are angels and there are ganas who are helping you. But you need not worry about them just now. Main thing is you must realize what you are, what you have got and how much you have faced it, you have got it and how it has worked out. I have seen every time I just have a little problem of something, immediately it works. It works in such quarters and such people that I never expected, just comes in. Everything works out. But whatever works out is for your good, is for your growth, for your understanding that you are a Sahaja Yogi; you have entered into the Kingdom of God, but this you have to develop. Also introspection can tell you that are you working out all those things, or not? If you take to introspection, you’ll be surprised to see, yes, you have these powers, and you can do wonders.

So I bless you all. Please develop those subtle things within you. They are already there; you don’t have to do anything, only understand and locate. Thank you very much.

H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, conclusion to 'Subtle Forms of Five Elements in us', Talk before music program, Delhi, 16/12/98

Shri Hanumana and the Angels

It is such a joy today, and the whole atmosphere seems to be bubbling with it, as if the angels are singing. And the speciality of Hanumana was that He was an angel. Angels are born like angels. They are angels, and they are not human beings. They're born with the angelic qualities. But now, you all have become angels from the human beings. It's a very great achievement of Sahaja Yoga. The qualities that are born with the angels are seen from their very childhood.

So in the left side we have ganas, on the right side we have angels. And translated in Sanskrit language or in any Indian language as devdhoot - means they are the ambassadors of gods. So now you are the same, you are all angels now. Only thing you are not aware that you are angels while they were aware from their childhood. If you know that you are angels, all your qualities will start shining through, and you'll be amazed that the quality of standing by the truth at any cost is so easily managed for you, because you have been given the right, you have been given the special blessings, the special protection from the Divine that if you stand for the right, and if you stand for the righteous, and if you stand for the truth, all kinds of help to protect you will be given. Angels are aware of this, they're sure of it, they are certain, there's a certainty about it. ...

The angels are a special category, they don’t take up any problems upon themselves, they just solve them. If there’s a problem, it’s the angels who solve, for the saints as well as for the incarnations. And they are to be told sometimes that “Don’t jump in just now we are working out on the stage now, you will jump when we’ll ask you.” They're ready standing at the door just to jump in. So anxious. And they are fixed quantities. You can rely on them completely. For example, Shri Hanumana, as you know him as an angel, has great capacities, great powers, and it is his right to use them, and he is very aware of it. He does everything very amusingly, uses his powers very amusingly. ... So it’s a playfulness of the angels also because they're so confident, they're absolutely aware, absolutely identified with their personality, with their powers, with themselves. Here the Sahaja Yogis sometimes don’t understand that I have made you into angels. I’ve not made you into saints, but angels, and you are always protected.

H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, extract from Shri Hanumana Puja, England, 1989


Q. Could you tell us about angels, Shri Mataji?

Shri Mataji: They are very beautiful, just like flowers, very fragrant. And they will help you, you’ll be amazed how they’ll help you. You won’t see them, you don’t see them. But they are there, in the form of some human being, in so many ways. So, you cannot describe them because you can’t see them. But you’ll see their help, and you’ll be amazed how they guide you to the right path. Now, supposing you lose your way somewhere, don’t get frustrated, don’t get upset about it. If you have lost your way it must be some purpose. On that way when you go you’ll find somebody whom you have been looking for ages, or maybe some sort of a thing you’ll find, some treasure you’ll find. So, if you have lost your way, there’s nothing to worry. They work very smoothly and sweetly.
(Holland Park School Public Program, London, 27/9/2000)

The great saint

Once I went to a small village called Miapatapi. And as soon as I stepped into the village, I felt tremendous vibrations and I said, “Who was the great saint who lived here?” So they said there was one Muslim pir. I said, “Whatever it is, he was a saint.” And when I was sitting and giving lecture – you will see the photographs – the light came on my head seven times. And the seventh time then I put my hand like this. But nobody saw it. Only I knew. And I knew that it was there. I was laughing with it. And then the people - you see when they took the photograph - they could picture it. So these realized souls are all over, and they are helping.

H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, extract from Talk on Agnya Chakra, Delhi, 3/2/83

Adi Shakti

It’s a difficult subject to talk about Adi Shakti, because it’s not easy to understand that Adi Shakti is the power of Sadashiva. Sadashiva is the God Almighty, She is His breath, as some people call it. Some say She is the desire and some say that She’s the entire power of Sadashiva, and Sadashiva cannot do anything without Her powers. This subject has been described by many people in various books in different ways. But actually we need not go to the background of the creation of Adi Shakti, for that at least you need seven lectures. But we’ll come to the point where Adi Shakti started working on this Mother Earth. The first thing is we must know, that She created a Kundalini in the Mother Earth itself and She created Shri Ganesha out of the Mother Earth, it’s very interesting. So the Mother Earth becomes a very important thing for us. If we do not know how to respect the Mother Earth, we do not know how to respect ourselves. The expression of Adi Shakti within you is the Kundalini, no doubt. That is the reflection of Adi Shakti in you. But the reflection in the Mother Earth is also expressed, as you all know, in different places, different countries, different cities, as the manifestation of chakras and Adi Shakti’s creations. It was very important first to create a very holy Mother Earth for human beings to be born on there.

So the reflection of the Adi Shakti as Kundalini first was on the Mother Earth. Kundalini is, we should say, is a wee part of the Adi Shakti, or we can say that, She is the desire, pure desire, of the Adi Shakti. So Adi Shakti is the desire, complete desire of Sadashiva; and Kundalini, Adi Kundalini is the desire, complete desire of Adi Shakti. Now this one was first expressed in the Mother Earth, inside the Mother Earth. Inside the Mother Earth, the Kundalini came up in such a way that it cooled down the inner part of the Mother Earth as much as it could, and then it manifested on the surface of the earth as different chakras. So it’s tremendous similarity that we have with Virata, the Mother Earth and the human beings. If all of them are being reflected by the Adi Kundalini so there has to be a great connection between them. It is not understood by human beings how they are connected to this Mother Earth. This Kundalini passed through different centers, creating different centers in the Mother Earth and ultimately broke through Kailasha. And I don’t know how many have you been to Kailash you’ll see tremendous vibrations flowing out of Kailash.

A musician is born

The noted bhajan singer Sanjay Talwar describes an early encounter with Shri Mataji:

My first musical encounter with the Adi Shakti happened in the car in which I drove Shri Mataji to the interior of Rajasthan. It was a cold December morning in 1986. Shri Mataji had woken up early at the residence of Mrs. Pardal, the Sahaja Yoga leader for Jaipur, and had sent word to me to get ready to drive Her through the heart of Rajasthan, as She had fixed appointments with various house owners to see their homes which had jharokas (artistically hand-crafted windows), that She wanted for making Her own home, Pratishthan in Pune.

I had woken up that morning with a severe stomach ache. I did not want to miss the golden opportunity of driving Shri Mataji and so I did not disclose my problem to anyone. We left early morning with my wife, Aradhana, Manish Singh and Mrs. Pardal sitting at the back, and Shri Mataji opting to sit in the front seat next to me. I had a small Fiat car with two bucket seats in the front. It was not just an ordinary journey, but really the journey of my life had just begun.

Remember, I had an upset stomach. As I started to drive, my stomach started rumbling and I was in pain. Shri Mataji immediately asked me to stop the car, although I wasn't complaining. She got out of the car and went across to a nearby medical shop and brought me some Ayurvadic tablets. She asked Manish to fetch me some buttermilk. As soon as I had it, I immediately felt better.

“Now,” She said, “it is a long journey ahead, so why not have a song from you?" That was the first time ever I got to sing in front of Shri Mataji. I asked Her, “Mother, what would you like me to sing?” She said, “Sing any song you like.” So I started singing Hamein Tum Se Pyaar Kitna. It was a romantic song from an Indian film.

She interrupted me briefly and told me to try changing the words a little so that it could be directed to the Devi. I could not fathom what She meant and I just stopped singing. She then gave me the words, which my wife started to jot down in the back seat. Thus started a journey where Shri Mataji continued to give the words and I continued to sing them. The meanings that came out were simply divine. She would stop in the middle and ask everyone in the car to check the vibrations. She then explained to me the meaning of the words.

I shook my head and said, “Yes, Mother, this sounds great. Can I do more such songs?” “Yes,” She said. “Now you carry on making the songs as we drive along and make sure that what you are creating is what the seekers will listen to and take their Self Realization.”

I was thrilled at the prospect – all this, while Mother kept Her hand on my Vishuddhi from the back, sometimes massaging my shoulders and at times running Her hand over my back Agnya. She would occasionally ask me, “How does it feel? Don't you feel your voice opening up?” “Yes, Mother!” I exclaimed. “I cannot believe this is my voice.”

Shri Mataji had worked on my Vishuddhi for hours as I drove. That day we travelled for twelve hours non-stop until we reached Makrana. Thus were born my very first Sahaj musical compositions.

Divine Cool Breeze

In 1987 Shri Mataji renamed a newsletter that had been known until then as The Wind. She called it The Divine Cool Breeze. She said that the newsletter, along with its new name, should reflect the importance and dignity of Sahaja Yoga.

Satya Yuga

Advice by H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi:

There are cosmic changes that are taking place today within you. I know that it is happening. The Shri Chakra itself has descended on this Earth and already the Satya Yuga has started. This is the reason, why you are feeling these vibrations on your fingers and none of these Gurus and Rishis and all those people have mentioned these things. Because this is only possible when the Shri Chakra is brought down. It is here. You have to feel it and understand. It is for all of you to accept, each with an open heart.
(Birthday Puja 1977)

This Kali Yuga is going into a new realm of Satya Yuga, but in between there is Krita Yuga where this Brahma Chaitanya, or we can say the all-pervading Power of God’s love, is going to act.
(Shri Krishna Puja 1992)

This is a very opportune time. I think Satya Yuga is starting from tomorrow. No doubt. And what will be the symptom that now the Satya will be victorious, Vijaya. Whatever people may try, ultimately Satya will be Vijaya.
(Birthday Puja, Delhi, March 21, 1993)

This is the first day of the year of Satya Yuga. Nature will show you that Satya Yuga has started. Sahaja Yoga has brought Satya 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 Paramchaitanya. If you have any doubts, just ask me. God is not there but at least I am there to talk to you. Hence Sahaja Yogis should now be free from doubts.
(Gudi Padwa, New Delhi, March 24, 1993)

It's a new age that has started. The other day I said that the Satya Yuga has started now. So it will start exposing all that is a-satya, which is whatever is false. All those who are false people will be exposed and you'll be amazed at the way things will work out. And it's such a great time you are born and it's such a great thing that you have come to Sahaja Yoga and that you have got your realization and that you are one of those who have to lift the whole of this universe into a higher awareness.
Shri Pallas Athena Puja, Greece, April 26, 1993)

I must say the Paramchaitanya is really working very well. It is really making everything so smooth and nice and helping. I mean, I’m really surprised at the way it communicates. Like the other day some girl was sick in the hospital and they said she had meningitis. Today she’s out. It all works out. It works out because Paramchaitanya is now active. It is Krita Yuga or, I should say, the Satya Yuga is coming. But you are the people who have to nourish it, to give assurances that, “Yes, we are working out.” Otherwise, if even there’s a big potential for everything and there’s no channelizing, it will not work.
(Talk at Wamuran Ashram, near Brisbane, Australia, 13/4/94)

The whole Kali Yuga means the absolutely the worst and worst possible time for our destruction. That was over. Then comes Kruta Yuga, I mean, overlapping. Now, in Kruta Yuga, this all-pervading power, they call it Paramchaitanya, becomes active. It starts helping people to come along. That also has been going on some days. After this, is Satya Yuga. It’s the age of truth. But it’s a last judgement. If you take to truth, alright, well and good. But if you don’t take to truth you are judged. It’s like this."
(Press conference, London, 8/7/99)

Now you all are Sahaja Yogis and you all have to become masters in Sahaja Yoga. For becoming masters in Sahaja Yoga I am sure you are doing meditation, introspection and all kinds of Sahaja Yoga rituals, I should say. In this New Year, I’ll think there is greater chance for you to do much better, because all those years of ordeals are over. (Applause) We are now entering into the New Era. I say now the Satya Yuga is established. (Applause) In the beginning you may not feel the atmosphere of Kali Yuga being cleared out completely. Of course gradually you’ll find that’s all clearing out and all the people who are dangerous for your spiritual life, for your national life, for your family life, will have to take back their way; they cannot be successful here. (Applause) Now the Sahaja Yogis have to decide how far they will spread Sahaja Yoga all over.
