“Meditation is such a soothing thing, such a beautiful way of connection with the Divine, that all your problems get solved in that meditative mood.” – Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, founder of Sahaja Yoga
Download “Affirmations for Self Realization”
We place our right hand on our torso and head in certain places, such as the left hip and the forehead. In Sahaja Yoga, these actions and affirmations connect our sincere desire to become our true selves to our own power to become our true selves. The result is a state of meditation, free from thoughts about the past or the future. This is Self Realization. This process is covered in Day 1’s session recording below.
Learn how to calm your attention, reduce your thoughts, and increase your enjoyment of inner silence.
“Like a wheel which is moving, and if your attention is on the wheel, on the periphery, then your mind is all the time moving. But if you jump on the axis of the wheel, it is silent.” – Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, founder of Sahaja Yoga
Download “Raising the Kundalini & Giving a Bandhan.”
Begin and end your meditation with the movements described on this page. They help to bring your attention into the present and sustain the state of calmness and inner silence. These techniques are demonstrated in Day 2’s session recording below.
“The Spirit will shine on an attention which is steady. Steady it. By balancing you bring a steadiness to it. Balance your thoughts, balance your eyes, balance your desires.” — Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, founder of Sahaja Yoga
Download Foot Soaking – A step by step guide
Foot soaking is a clearing technique that will greatly enhance your state of meditation. The technique helps relieve your energy centers of any negativity affecting the subtle system. The negativity is transferred to a basin of salt water. It can be done in the evening, at the end of the day, or any time. It’s very beneficial when it becomes part of your daily routine.
Our attention can move into the past or the future, making it a challenge to meditate. We will learn about the three energy channels, and how to balance them so that we can be in the present, and on the path to our spiritual ascent.
“You are an instrument most beautifully made, absolutely so beautifully made that once you discover it, you will be amazed as to what you are.” – Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, founder of Sahaja Yoga
Thoughts are generally about the past or the future. Sahaja Yoga Meditation helps us to establish ourselves in the present, without any thought. We balance the left and right channels of our subtle system using these techniques. They are demonstrated in Day 4’s session recording below.
We discuss the innate qualities of the subtle energy centers (chakras) within us. We will learn how we can imbibe these qualities in our daily lives through Sahaja Yoga meditation.
“The first thing should be to watch yourself, that you are not reacting but you are experiencing and enjoying the silence, the subtleties, the beauty, the glory of your being.” — Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, founder of Sahaja Yoga
Download the Subtle Energy System
Download What do you feel on your hands?
In Sahaja Yoga we use the natural elements of water, earth, fire, ether, and air to deepen our meditation. The foot soaking technique helps us clear our subtle system and increases our enjoyment of the meditation.
“Only in meditation you are in the present and you grow in your spirituality.” — Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, founder of Sahaja Yoga
We will steady our attention and learn to identify and clear out the imbalances affecting our subtle being. Gradually, we’ll go deeper into our own subtlety, silence, and self-knowledge.
“Your hands start feeling the cool breeze. They start feeling the chakras of yourself and chakras of other people. With your hands you can raise the Kundalini, with your hands you can give realization. These hands become powerful things.” – Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, founder of Sahaja Yoga
We will demonstrate the cooling effect of ice to steady our attention and make us less reactive.
“All this temper becomes so cool and so beautiful. It’s very surprising. A very dynamic person becomes extremely compassionate.” — Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, founder of Sahaja Yoga

Using Shri Mataji’s photograph for meditation
We have found that by meditating in front of Shri Mataji’s photographs, our Subtle system comes into balance and is cleared through the positive vibrations that are emitted from her photographs. As result, we become more relaxed and calmer as we experience the inner joy of the Spirit in our heart. We follow the traditional respect and protocol of not placing our feet pointing towards the meditation table and meditate with shoes removed. We can sit on a chair or floor, whichever is the most comfortable.
If you wish to use Shri Mataji’s photograph, then it’s best to place the photo in a frame and use a small candle in front of the photo when meditating.

When our left channel clears out, we can feel how much we are loved by the Divine.
“Freedom must have wisdom behind it. So both the sides, the movements on both the sides, are wrong. So what is all right? In the center. Is not to get conditioned by anything and not to be ego-oriented.“ — Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
This will be an interactive workshop in smaller virtual rooms with experienced Sahaja Yoga practitioners. You’ll learn techniques to clear your subtle system and go deeper into meditation. This interactive workshop is only available on the Zoom platform.
SAFETY NOTE: We will use a candle to clear our left channel of imbalances. As a safety precaution, do not do this treatment if you are wearing loose clothes or near anything that might catch fire. Take great care. You can sit on a chair or on the floor.
WHAT TO BRING: Before the start of this session, please have these items available:
– A small candle in a holder or secured to a plate
– Matches or a lighter
We become our own gurus through the daily practice of Sahaja Yoga. We stop arguing with ourselves. We accept and follow our own inner guidance. We leave behind all extreme behavior, whether it’s over-indulgence or over-strictness.
“You have to be your own guru means you have to guide yourself. You have to treat yourself as your disciple and you have to trim yourself.” — Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

We will focus on the first energy center, the Mooladhara Chakra. In Sanskrit, “Mooladhara” means support of the root. This chakra is the base of the subtle system. Its innate qualities are purity, innocence, joy, and wisdom.
“This innocence never gets destroyed because it is eternal, but it may happen that it will get covered with some clouds by our mistakes that we commit. But once you get your Realization, your innocence is re-established, manifests, and you become innocent.” — Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

Swadhishthana, the second chakra, is the center of creativity, pure knowledge, pure desire and pure attention. The power of pure desire within us guides our spiritual journey. Opening this chakra helps us to let go of our need to control, so we can allow the divine power to work things out.
“Thinking, thinking thinking, planning, planning, planning, planning, running. Ultimately the whole joy has disappeared.” — Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

The third chakra, the Nabhi, is where our seeking for spiritual evolution originates. When this chakra clears, we experience our own divine qualities of satisfaction, generosity and peace.
“There can be no peace in the world until there is peace within.” — Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Let’s collectively open our Heart Chakra so we can feel our innate qualities of love, compassion, security and fearlessness.
“You become the source of joy, not that you only receive the joy but you become the source of joy, the source of bliss and the source of peace. Wherever such a person goes, it just soothes.” — Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
“The detachment takes place because you become one with the Spirit which is not attached, which gives you that light, that detachment from where you can see the whole thing just as a drama going on.” — Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
To open the Agnya Chakra, let’s learn to forgive. This clears the subtle pathway to be connected to the all-pervading power of the Divine.
“When you forgive a person, what do you do? You accept the situation, to begin with, and secondly you forgive what you think has been done wrong to you. But because nothing can be done wrong to your Spirit, you just forgive because you are the Spirit.” — Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Clearing, Balancing and Meditation Workshop
This will be an interactive workshop in smaller virtual rooms with experienced Sahaja Yoga practitioners. You’ll learn techniques to clear your subtle system and go deeper into meditation. This interactive workshop is only available on the Zoom platform.
At Sahasrara we can let go of all our worries, opinions, and frustrations. We can offer them to the silence above the top of the head. This is where our attention joins the universal, Divine attention.
“Sahaja Yoga is like building first the pinnacle of the building, and then the foundation. Opening your Sahasrara was the first thing that was achieved. And then in the light of Sahasrara you have to watch yourself and see for yourself.” — Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
We enhance the experience of meditation by going deeper into the silence within us. Discover the power of a mantra, or prayer in Sanskrit, to clear our chakras and strengthen the state of meditation.
“Meditation is the only way you can enrich yourself with the beauty of reality. There’s no other way. I cannot find any other way but meditation by which you rise into the realm of divinity.” — Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
We will sustain longer periods of silence using the techniques learned so far.
“If you can achieve that point, where you watch everything without reacting, you are in reality. And then only the penetration into the subtleties of your surroundings, of your relationships, your friendships — the whole universe — dawns upon you.” — Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Our focus will be on taking full advantage of our self-realization by going deeper into the meditative state. We’ll explore the power of music to sustain complete inner silence.
“Now this happening of achieving thoughtless awareness is very simple and easy. But to maintain that point is difficult. We still react and we think. Anything you see, you react. To get to that point in thoughtless awareness is first to change your attention…. Try to witness everything…. You start enjoying everything that is there. Even a small blade of grass you can enjoy.” — Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

The Subtle System
Our Subtle System consists of 3 Channels and 7 main Chakras. The right and left channels are the physical support of our sympathetic nervous system and the central channel is the physical support of our parasympathetic nervous system.
Energy Centres – the Chakras:
1. The Mooladhara Chakra (Innocence)
1a. The Kundalini (Mothering energy)
2. The Swadishthan Chakra (Creativity)
3. The Nabhi Chakra (Peace)
3a. The Void (the Guru principle)
4. The Anahatha Chakra (Love and Compassion)
5. The Vishuddhi Chakra (Collectivity)
6. The Agnya Chakra (Forgiveness)
7. The Sahasrara Chakra (Integration).
Energy Channels – the Nadis:
A. The Right Channel (Physical and mental activity)
B. The Left Channel (Emotions and desires)
C. The Central Channel (Ascent and spiritual growth)
- Our Right channel (yellow line), governs our physical, creative or mental activity. It is the channel of action and the future.
- Our Left channel (blue line), manages our emotions and desires. It is the channel of our past.
- The Central channel (white line), manages our autonomous functions ( heartbeat, etc…). The Kundalini energy rises up the central channel when we receive our Self-Realisation. It is the channel of our spiritual evolution, the Present.
- The Chakras – the Sanskrit word “chakra” means “wheel”. These energy centers or chakras ( numbers 1 to 7 in above diagram) correspond to our main nervous plexuses in the body. Each chakra has its own qualities.
By regular practice of Sahaja Yoga meditation, you obtain the knowledge of your chakras, how to improve and look after them, in a very natural and spontaneous way. Your innate qualities start to manifest themselves. You can feel the state of your subtle system and by using simple techniques, you can maintain it in a balanced state.
We give guidelines of these techniques in our weekly classes in your local area. They are always free. Find free classes in your country.
Self-Realisation
Out of all the energies that sustain us, there is one which is the mother of all other energies. This dormant is of a spiritual nature. It manifests the love that the Divine has for us.
It is called Kundalini and she exists within everyone as a great potential of inner wellbeig. This living energy is waiting to reveal itself to us. Sahaja Yoga meditation starts with the natural awakening of this energy. The spiritual energy that is within us is called Kundalini.
The Kundalini resides in the sacrum bone. This is the triangular bone which is located at the base of the spinal column. When this energy awakens, it activates the central channel and passes through the chakras to come out and can be perceived as a flood, gush, spurt (of coolness) in the fontanelle bone area. Once this energy has been awakened we can perceive its manifestation in a concrete way. A new state of awareness is established within us.
Self-Realisation – the Awakening of the Kundalini mother energy.
As soon as we have felt the condition of our chakras, we can improve them. We have the tools to progress easily with discrimination in our spiritual evolution.
The Kundalini awakening is an indisputable discovery. For the first time, we have the chance to change ourselves and become independent.

The Hamsa chakra, which is part of the Vishuddhi and represented by Canada, is situated between the eyebrows, and has the qualities discretion and discrimination; It’s also called the Lambica chakra.
Treatment for the Hamsa is to put a few drops of slightly warm melted purified butter (Ghee) with a dropper into your nose and sniff it up. It avoids dryness of the inner lining. Apply it at night before sleeping.
Affirmation to clear and strengthen the Hamsa is: “Shri Mataji, by Your Grace, please give me the power of discrimination.”
Shri Mataji talks about the Hamsa Chakra
Advise from Shri Mataji about the Hamsa Chakra
“It is, you know, placed between the two eyebrows and two eyes represent the left and the right side. So this centre is very much guided by our eyes, by our ears, by our nose, tongue, teeth, throat. Is a very important centre because the Vishuddhi, which has to look after sixteen petals, which, sixteen petals, which look after all these ear, nose, throat, different, different organs within us, also it has to communicate with the Viraat. So it has to pass through this centre of Hamsa Chakra. Hamsa Chakra is the very pivotal centre, which expresses auspiciousness in our awareness. That means, if this centre is alert and awakened, then we immediately know what is auspicious and what is not auspicious, or we can call it, we get the Divine Discretion… the light of the Spirit, which shines through your Hamsa Chakra, gives you wisdom. Wisdom doesn’t mean that you know how to argue things or you fight with people. No, it doesn’t mean that! Wisdom means how you take to the good side of everything, to enjoy it, this is Wisdom. And that you avoid all destructive things and take to something constructive.” (1992/09/13)
“Now, how can we improve our Hamsa then? It’s a big problem, because if our Hamsa is sick, is over-conditioned. The Kundalini cannot work on it; it just gives up. Now, so for Hamsa we use all these physical things. Like I said, put the ghee in the nose. Keep it in a way that it is nourished properly. Because Kundalini, if it tries to too much attack the Hamsa, it will have a problem. Problem because, as it is most of our time we spend in such a manner that your Hamsa things become – what you call the epithelial cells, the linings – become dried out. When the Kundalini rises, She may try to create a problem more for that dryness – maybe. So it is kept out, but it has an effect in the sense that even if there is a light outside, it can fall inside.”
“So it’s not the Kundalini directly that affects your Hamsa. It is like when the Kundalini awakens, you yourself see now that a person is, whether he is fair complexion or dark complexion, he is a human being. You reason it out and Hamsa clears up. Then you see yourself that, “Oh, I’m very egoistical.” You start seeing yourself through your Agnya, start seeing that, “I’m so conditioned.” So you reason it out, and that’s how you correct your conditionings. This is what is Hamsa chakra.”

PART 1: Beginners
DAY 1 to DAY 9 - Awaken the energy & Know Thyself
“You cannot know the meaning of your life, until you are connected to the power that created you” Shri Mataji – Founder
Get your self realisation and start your journey of Meditation.
“Only after Self-Realisation, and only then, is there a direct experience of the Spirit. It then manifests its powers in the human personality, and it’s light enlightens the consciousness into a new awareness. The divine intelligence of the Spirit radiates on all sides.” Shri Mataji – Founder
Strengthen your Self Realisation and learn simple exercises to help establish and maintain a meditative state and to protect your aura.
Being in the present moment allows us to go beyond thought. In an increasingly busy, modern world, for most people this is a unique time. It’s a peaceful time when we can actually stop thinking about what is going to happen, or what has already happened. Learn how to balance your emotions and actions, so you can enjoy the present.
“It is a myth, mind itself is a myth. And we can make computers; we also can make our own mind. So one has to go beyond this mind to know the reality, to know the absolute truth.” “So what is the truth? The truth is that you are not this body, this mind, this ego, these emotions, but you are the pure spirit.”
Shri Mataji – Founder
A channel is referred to as “Nadi” in Sanskrit. You can think of a channel as an enclosed passage. With the correct balance of the energies of left and right channels you can ascend further in your spirituality.
“Truth is there is a subtle living power which is the Divine Love which does all the living work. All the religions have talked about it, all the religions have said that you must get your self-realization, your second birth, in different, different ways. And all the religions have said that there is this subtle power of Divine Love which is formless.” Shri Mataji – Founder
Learn about the virtues of the energy centres within us and how you can imbibe those virtues in your personality through meditation.
“If we are in the ocean, our ship should be seaworthy. Then any kind of illusion is not going to deter us if we are seaworthy.” Shri Mataji – Founder
When the day is over, relax by soaking your feet in salt water. This is best done at night before going to bed. Place your feet in a basin of cool or luke-warm* water containing a handful of salt (water and earth elements). This technique is called Footsoak and is extremely helpful to calm down your mind and body. It also helps clear the ocean of illusion and assist the seeker to attain self-mastery.

If you are in a state of witnessing, that itself is a power. And that witnessing state helps you to win over so many difficulties of your own and of other people, to truly become a collective being, become a part and parcel of the whole.

“Just laugh at yourself for feeling guilty; that’s the best way. Do not condemn yourself.” – Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi (Founder)
Raag Yama
This music was played during this session.
Yaman is a sampurna (consists of 7 notes) raga from the Hindustani music tradition. It is one of the first ragas a Hindustani classical student learns and is considered to be one of the most fundamental ragas in the tradition.

DAY 22: THE THOUSAND PETALLED LOTUS – SAHASRARA 🌸
The seventh energy center within us which has thousand petals is also known as the Sahasrara Chakra, which lies on the top of our head. When Mother Kundalini reaches Sahasrara the lotus petals open and enlightenment (samadhi) takes place. You may feel a powerful pulsation in the crown of the head, followed by a melting sensation and a flow of cool vibrations from the fontanele bone area. This is the real baptism by which you know you are truly born again.
“So in Sahasrara, you must know what powers are there. There are one thousand powers, one thousand powers within you which are being enlightened. If you can understand that, then you will understand what is the use of having ego because you have such a lot of powers within you, which you have not utilized. We should use, but because of ego you cannot. With love you can. With love you can manage and you can do a lot.” – Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi (founder)
DAY 23: THE INTEGRATION
In the Sahasrara, the whole instrument is integrated. Each chakra has its place here. Only now do we go beyond the relative, above the three gunas (channels), and into the absolute realisation of heaven on earth. This is a country far beyond our wildest imaginings, so much more than our words can even seek to imply, our ultimate destination, stretching out forever.
“The Essence of Sahasrara is Integration.” – Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi (founder)
“We are all part and parcel of one country and that country is of Love” – Shri Mataji (Founder) 🌹
DAY 24: CELEBRATING THE DIVINE LOVE & JOY 🌷
Let’s cherish our Self Realisation by celebrating this divine Love and Joy which we have received from the all pervading power.
“Sahaja Yoga is a very subtler happening within us. It’s a very subtler happening and this subtler happening gives you sensitivity to Divine joy.” – Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi (founder) “The most dynamic power in this world is that of Love.” – Shri Mataji (founder)

Today we will learn more about the Mooladhara Chakra and the Deity governing this energy centre. We will also learn and meditate upon the Four Petals of the Mooladhara Chakra
“Ganesh is sweetest thing you can think of, even when you look at Ganesha; this Kautuk this innocent admiration starts flowing. Just think of him, you feel so happy.” – Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi (Founder)
Swasthika, Omkara, Alpha & Omega – Explained by Shri Mataji | Sahaja Yoga Meditation
The importance of music in Sahaja Yoga : How to sing Aum (Om) 🕉️
Let’s learn today how we can use the sounds of three simple letters to clear ourselves. It’s truly Aum-azing.
“…You can say the logos or the first sound, the AUM, the Brahma… But this sound, the first sound, which is described as also logos I believe, is the sound of this Primordial Power, of this Divine Power that has created the whole universe.” – Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi (Founder)
“Love is the principle behind all creation, all vibrations. We say that God is Love and Love is God, because in its depths we cease to be. In true Love there is no “I” and “You”, there is simply the merging in the Spirit.” – Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi (Founder)
The importance of music in Sahaja Yoga: Singing Musical Notes
Let’s learn today how we can use the Indian scale of sounds similar to Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do to clear each of our chakras.🌷
“Music is very important for Sahaja yoga as you know that, through music the vibrations spread very well and one can go very deep into your own meditation through music.” – Shri Mataji (founder)
The Swadishthan Chakra – the Second Centre By Shri Mataji
Shri Mataji describes the qualities of the Swadishthan, the second chakra of the subtle system, which is located in the aortic plexus, above our sacrum bone.
This centre controls the functioning of the liver, kidney, spleen, pancreas, and female reproductive organs.
Different incarnations have come over the time in different parts of the world to take the humans further in their evolution. Shri Vishnu who is the sustainer, is the presiding deity of the Nabhi Chakra.
“So it is no question of one religion or anything. But these are different things which came in the evolutionary process of man, and all the evolution that took place in every human being is within himself, is recorded, and he’s standing on that.” – H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi”
The Void is located in the abdominal cavity. On the subtle system, it is shown as a large green area circling the Nabhi, with the Void itself being encircled by the Swadhistan chakra. The Void represents the Guru principle, the area of self-mastery. As the Kundalini rises and passes through the Void, the attention is enlightened and enables an awareness of a higher reality, allowing the individual to start on the journey to becoming their own guru.
“So you become your own guru. You start understanding what’s wrong with yourself and correcting yourself.” – Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi (founder)
Heart is the home of Self, Soul, Spirit, Atma, all one and meaning the same. Time and time again Her Holiness Shri Mataji has told us : “You are nothing but your eternal Spirit.” as if according to Her, Spirit is the only thing we had to become and realise, as if the rest becomes futile.
After realisation, losing our false identifications with body, mind, feelings, we really become that Spirit. With enlightenment alone we can take our attention to our heart and cleanse it.
“The governor is Spirit in the heart whose power the Kundalini is.” – H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Did you know singing is a great way to also help clear your chakras, open your heart and to feel the joy even more? So join us for a unique segment where we’ll meditate and then sing musical notes and songs to deepen our meditation experience. Bring on your best singing voices (no prior experience needed) to enjoy an ama-sing experience. “Music is very important for Sahaja yoga as you know that, through music the vibrations spread very well and one can go very deep into your own meditation through music.” – H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.
The fifth chakra (Vishuddhi) is the chakra of diplomacy, of pure relationships with others, and of playful detachment. It removes all our guilt and remorse when it is opened by the Kundalini, and gives us a kind and compassionate voice. The tendencies to dominate others or to feel dominated by others, the feelings of superiority or inferiority and all jealousies are removed when this chakra is nourished by the Kundalini. “We see our own acting, and the whole world becomes like a drama” – H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Let’s learn some simple techniques to clear and look after the Vishuddhi Chakra. Also let’s sing some melodious songs collectively to open our hearts and improve the vibrations of our Vishuddhi.
“Even at Kundalini when it reaches here at the Vishuddhi Chakra it makes all the sounds, “am, aam, em, eem, um, oom, rim, reem, lrim, lreem, aye, ayee, ao, aou, ang, ah” All these sixteen vowels are coming from the sixteen chakras or the sub-chakras or the petals of this Vishuddhi Chakra. These are Bija mantras of the Vishuddhi Chakra.”
H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi (founder)
Lord Jesus Christ is the deity of the Agnya Chakra. It is for us to remember that Christ was born on this Earth as a human being. He came on this Earth, and the task that was before Him was to enlighten human awareness with the sense of understanding.
“I forgive.” This is the greatest weapon Christ has given us. You just say, “I forgive, I forgive,” and you can overcome your ego. This is the mantra for this chakra…. You’ll find your Agnya chakra will open out and you’ll find your ego will go away. ” – H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi (founder)

What is Surrender?
“It is not the surrender of your mind through your mind, but the surrender of your heart. It is absolutely the surrender of your heart.
Give up this ego, that’s all, and it will work out. I am trying to push Myself into your heart and I will definitely settle down there!” – H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Let’s learn today about who is Shri Ganesha and how he looks after our first energy centre: The Mooladhara Chakra. We will also learn using Sanskrit mantras to help clear our subtle system even more. This is the beginning of the mantras series.
“Who is Shri Ganesha? How do we believe whether Shri Ganesha exists or not? It is a pertinent question. You have not seen Shri Ganesha, you have not known Him so you should not believe in Him. But it is a strange thing that unless you come inside you cannot see and as long as you are standing outside you will not believe.” – H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Let’s learn today what is Diwali and its significance as Sahaj Yogis (realised souls).
“But we have a special significance of Diwali, it’s a very special significance, I think: that the light, that we see here, you will see it always goes upward. The fire is the element that always goes upward. It’s always against the gravity, and it is against all that pulls you down. And the light of the Spirit is also like that, it always takes you upward. And the person who is a realised-soul is called as an enlightened person, because he has the light.” – H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi (Extract from Diwali Puja, 14th November 1982)
Let’s learn today how the deities Shri Brahma and Shri Saraswati look after our second energy centre – the Swadhishthan Chakra.
“Shri Vishnu’s seat is in our Nabhi chakra on this Nabhi, Shri Vishnu who is swaying on this ocean is the ocean of love. It is said that from Shri Vishnu’s navel, Brahmadeva was born (created), is true, and had to be worked out from the Nabhi. On this Nabhi the Primordial Mother (Adishakti) created Shri Brahmadeva, who fabricated the whole world. In this, there is no religion involved.” – H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
MANTRA SERIES PART 3: SHRI LAKSHMI & VISHNU
Let’s learn today how the deities Shri Lakshmi (the goddess of wealth) and Shri Vishnu (the sustainer) look after our third energy centre – the Nabhi Chakra.
The mantra for Nabhi is : “In my Spirit I am satisfied.”
“By integration, you get the power to do what you understand and you have the power to feel happy with what you understand.” – H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Let’s learn today about the primodial deity of the Void Shri Adi Guru Dattatreya and how the 10 primordial masters that came on this Earth help support and sustain our guru principle.
“All these Adi Gurus and their incarnations, if you see them, they always had balance and always praised the love of God.”
– H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Let’s learn today about the deities of the heart: Shri Jagadamba on the Centre, Shri Shiva Parvati on the Left and Shri Sita Rama on the right.
“The centre Heart is governed by The Mother of the universe. She gives us the sense of security. When you are at the age of twelve years, you see, the bone that is in front here starts emitting antibodies, it creates antibodies within you till the age of twelve years and then these antibodies are really the soldiers of The Mother of the universe. We call Her Jagadamba in Sanskrit language, and they spread to the whole of the body and wherever there is an attack, they inform each other and they fight it out. These antibodies are created in the sternum bone in the front side of the, we can say, the ribs, where the ribs meet, thoracic region, that part, they stay there, are created till the age of twelve years. “
H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Let’s learn today about the deities of the Vishuddhi Chakra: Shri Radha Krishna on the Centre, Shri Vishnumaya on the Left and Shri Vithalla Rukmini on the right.
“Now we have to realize that Sahaja Yoga has spread a lot and in all corners of the world people respect Sahaja Yoga, but until and unless Sahaja Yoga is completely manifested within us, the people who respect Sahaja Yoga will not continue to do so. That is why it is essential that we look inside of us. The nature of Shri Krishna is that we look inside of us and see what are the things that put us in trouble. We should find that out. We should look towards ourselves, within ourselves and that is not such a difficult thing. When we want to see our face, we look in the mirror. Similarly, when we need to see our spirit, we should find out how to see it within us. Many Sahaja Yogis have asked Me, “Mother, how do we see what is within us and how we are doing?.” For that it is necessary that we ourselves should become very humble. If we lack humility, we will be clouded by our own thoughts.”
H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Let’s learn more about Shri Jesus Christ and how he helps us cross the sixth energy centre – The Agnya Chakra or the narrow gate.
“…One must learn to Love and not to rationalize” – H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Lord’s Prayer to help open the Agnya Chakra
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom comes and thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven, give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom and power and the glory forever and forever… Amen!
Let’s learn more about the mantras of the Sahasrara Chakra, The Three Great Mantras.
“Unless and until your Sahasrara is open, all the blessings of the Divine Power cannot come to you” – H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Let’s learn about the clearance and power of the Havan.
“Unless and until your Sahasrara is open, all the blessings of the Divine Power cannot come to you” – H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Let’s meditate to strengthen ourselves from within, and in today’s session we also share some lovely moments that we enjoy together as a family in Sahaja.
“Keep to the collectivity, wisely and earnestly and try to keep the collectivity together. Try to help to keep the people collective to enjoy together. Don’t criticize each other; only criticize yourself. If you are in the habit of criticism, better criticize yourself. It’s better, because these are habits also.” – H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Session 25: THE EXPERIENCE OF GOD’S LOVE | LEARN & PREPARA FOR PUJA
“What is puja? Puja is also a means to enter into that Infinite. What is namaaz? It is a mantra to enter that Infinite. What is prayer? It is a rendition to enter into that Infinite. But, without permission, without connection there is no meaning to these. You can do as much puja as you wish, it is worthless. Only today a lady came to Me saying, “Mataji, I have a lot of heart problems.” I said, “What mantra do you take?” She said, “I say, ‘Om Namah Shivaya’.” Now see, the name of Shiva who resides in the heart, it is impossible for a person’s heart to be troubled if he has attained Shri Shiva. Now she is chanting ‘Om Namah Shivaya’ and her heart is having problems. How is this possible? I just thought of Him once and her heart became alright, Shri Shiva was awakened over there. What is the difference? The only difference between her and Me is that I am connected to Shri Shiva. I have taken permission from Him. If you have to go to someone’s house then you have to take permission from them. Now, if you have to go to Justice Vaidya’s place and if you go and bang at his door then he will get you arrested. But if you go to him with protocol, then he will welcome you saying: “Come, have a seat.” Without connection whatever puja and worship takes place, that too when it goes into extremes and out of balance, becomes harmful.”

Sahaja Yoga Collective humbly welcomes you to the Christmas Puja 2021, streamed Live from Wamuran Ashram, Australia.
Please sit comfortably and enjoy the Puja!
“… everything is done by this Paramchaitanya. … For example, in Brisbane (Australia) when I was there I was sleeping in the ashram and a rainbow appeared. Of course I like paintings very much, of Raphael specially, because he has drawn the Mother’s face and the Child’s face so exactly; expressing the feeling of mother and the child. And imagine, that picture appears in the sky. And I didn’t tell Them to show that Raphael when I was sleeping. I was not even going to look at it. But at this time, the halo that was on the back of Mary comes upon the head. Means Raphael himself did it or, I don’t know – how can I explain … this Paramchaitanya is doing all kinds of things, and it does all this just to convince you about Sahaja Yoga. Because even now there are many who are supposed to be very rational, intelligent, educated who don’t want to accept. After all, if there is a Divine power, if there is something like that and is active, how can you challenge it? How can you say no to it? Because the powers are unlimited; it has gone into every atom and every molecule. It doesn’t do tricks like moving this from there to there, but what it does is to do something which is absolutely impossible. IT is doing.
So for us to believe in this activated Paramchaitanya is the only solution.” – H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi (Christmas Puja 1995)
“You all have been seeking, and seeking the truth about yourself. Where does the truth lie?
When are we the most truthful people? Where, at what point, we cannot deceive, whatever we may try? When it is heartfelt. When it is our heart’s desire, then we always try to go ahead with it. But it has to be heart’s desire not the rationality, not the brain’s desire. Because you can make your brain understand. Your intelligence can be compromised. Whatever is heartfelt you want to do it. You cannot be satisfied without doing it.
So, in the heart lies the truth.” – H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

1 Day - World Realisation Day
Sahaja Yoga Meditation Australia Celebrates
World Realisation Day 2023
“You must feel your depth” • Meditation & Music
Celebrated Friday 5th May 2023
Watch live YouTube session and recording below.
About Self Realisation
Each year, on the 5th May, we celebrate the opening of the Sahasrara (crown) chakra by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in 1970. Self-realisation is the awakening of the Kundalini, a subtle mothering energy within us that connects us to the Sahasrara which is seventh chakra of our subtle being. This enables us to experience inner balance and joy through true meditation. Sahaja Yoga meditation provides this experience.
Shri Mataji was twice nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and received the UN Peace Medal in 1989. She is the founder of Sahaja Yoga Meditation, which is practised now in over 100 countries.

“When you get your Self-realisation, you become the Spirit. And your attention is enlightened by that Spirit. You become a witness of the whole world, like a drama. This enlightened attention is a very powerful means of spreading divine vibrations”.
“Self-realization makes us humble … replace temper with compassion … the more innocent you are, the more blissful you will be”.
Shri Mataji - Founder of Sahaja Yoga
Can’t wait? Learn more and receive your Self-realisation
To receive your Self-realization, join us and let yourself be guided through the simple process of Kundalini awakening and learn how to meditate. Suitable for newcomers and regular Sahaja Yoga meditators.
Above video is the recording from the Live Stream on 5th May 2019
"You must feel your depth."
"Firstly, you must feel your depth. If you don’t feel your depth and you are not one with your personality which is so deep, then you cannot enjoy the Self-realisation. First of all, you should understand yourself. If you don’t understand yourself, how can you understand other people? You cannot. So first this Sahasrara should be opened out fully: ‘fully’ means complete oneness with the Divine. That is not difficult. Only you have to meditate a little bit and then it will work out. It has worked out in many people. I am very happy to see, and meet such people in Sahaja Yoga who have achieved such a lot of collectivity and also the awareness of a realised-soul."

Celebrated 21st June 2023

Attain the true Yoga - the union with the all pervading energy through Self-realisation and Sahaja Yoga meditation.
The Real Yoga
Real Yoga is the spiritual union attained through Self Realisation and Meditation. Traditionally, Yoga means union with our inner self and the all-pervading energy. Real Yoga is not physical exercises but thoughtless awareness meditation which is achieved through Self Realisation. Sahaja Yoga Meditation provides this experience for mental, emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing.
“So this is your birthright. All human beings have this right to get the awakening of their Kundalini by which they become one with the Divine Power. This is the Real Yoga.” Shri Mataji.

🌹 USING SHRI MATAJI’S PHOTOGRAPH FOR MEDITATION
We have found that by meditating in front of Shri Mataji’s photographs, our Subtle system comes into balance and is cleared through the positive vibrations that are emitted from her photographs. As result, we become more relaxed and calmer as we experience the inner joy of the Spirit in our heart. We follow the traditional respect and protocol of not placing our feet pointing towards the meditation table and meditate with shoes removed. We can sit on a chair or floor, whichever is the most comfortable.
If you wish to use Shri Mataji’s photograph, then it’s best to place the photo in a frame and use a small candle in front of the photo when meditating.
You can download Shri Mataji’s photos from the section below “RESOURCES – Shri Mataji’s Photos for Meditation” or contact us at [email protected]
Use this Guide to learn simple meditation and balancing techniques to help you experience the peace of true meditation. If this is your first meditation, then please follow the ‘Affirmation for Meditation’ steps for your Self-Realisation to activate your inner-being.
The Subtle System
Our Subtle System consists of 3 Channels and 7 main Chakras. The right and left channels are the physical support of our sympathetic nervous system and the central channel is the physical support of our parasympathetic nervous system.
Energy Centres – the Chakras:
1. The Mooladhara Chakra (Innocence)
1a. The Kundalini (Mothering energy)
2. The Swadishthan Chakra (Creativity)
3. The Nabhi Chakra (Peace)
3a. The Void (the Guru principle)
4. The Anahatha Chakra (Love and Compassion)
5. The Vishuddhi Chakra (Collectivity)
6. The Agnya Chakra (Forgiveness)
7. The Sahasrara Chakra (Integration).
Energy Channels – the Nadis:
A. The Right Channel (Physical and mental activity)
B. The Left Channel (Emotions and desires)
C. The Central Channel (Ascent and spiritual growth)
- Our Right channel (yellow line), governs our physical, creative or mental activity. It is the channel of action and the future.
- Our Left channel (blue line), manages our emotions and desires. It is the channel of our past.
- The Central channel (white line), manages our autonomous functions ( heartbeat, etc…). The Kundalini energy rises up the central channel when we receive our Self-Realisation. It is the channel of our spiritual evolution, the Present.
- The Chakras – the Sanskrit word “chakra” means “wheel”. These energy centers or chakras ( numbers 1 to 7 in above diagram) correspond to our main nervous plexuses in the body. Each chakra has its own qualities.
By regular practice of Sahaja Yoga meditation, you obtain the knowledge of your chakras, how to improve and look after them, in a very natural and spontaneous way. Your innate qualities start to manifest themselves. You can feel the state of your subtle system and by using simple techniques, you can maintain it in a balanced state.
We give guidelines of these techniques in our weekly classes in your local area. They are always free. Find free classes in your country.
Self-Realisation
Out of all the energies that sustain us, there is one which is the mother of all other energies. This dormant is of a spiritual nature. It manifests the love that the Divine has for us.
It is called Kundalini and she exists within everyone as a great potential of inner wellbeig. This living energy is waiting to reveal itself to us. Sahaja Yoga meditation starts with the natural awakening of this energy. The spiritual energy that is within us is called Kundalini.
The Kundalini resides in the sacrum bone. This is the triangular bone which is located at the base of the spinal column. When this energy awakens, it activates the central channel and passes through the chakras to come out and can be perceived as a flood, gush, spurt (of coolness) in the fontanelle bone area. Once this energy has been awakened we can perceive its manifestation in a concrete way. A new state of awareness is established within us.
Self-Realisation – the Awakening of the Kundalini mother energy.
As soon as we have felt the condition of our chakras, we can improve them. We have the tools to progress easily with discrimination in our spiritual evolution.
The Kundalini awakening is an indisputable discovery. For the first time, we have the chance to change ourselves and become independent.

The Hamsa chakra, which is part of the Vishuddhi and represented by Canada, is situated between the eyebrows, and has the qualities discretion and discrimination; It’s also called the Lambica chakra.
Treatment for the Hamsa is to put a few drops of slightly warm melted purified butter (Ghee) with a dropper into your nose and sniff it up. It avoids dryness of the inner lining. Apply it at night before sleeping.
Affirmation to clear and strengthen the Hamsa is: “Shri Mataji, by Your Grace, please give me the power of discrimination.”
Shri Mataji talks about the Hamsa Chakra
Advise from Shri Mataji about the Hamsa Chakra
“It is, you know, placed between the two eyebrows and two eyes represent the left and the right side. So this centre is very much guided by our eyes, by our ears, by our nose, tongue, teeth, throat. Is a very important centre because the Vishuddhi, which has to look after sixteen petals, which, sixteen petals, which look after all these ear, nose, throat, different, different organs within us, also it has to communicate with the Viraat. So it has to pass through this centre of Hamsa Chakra. Hamsa Chakra is the very pivotal centre, which expresses auspiciousness in our awareness. That means, if this centre is alert and awakened, then we immediately know what is auspicious and what is not auspicious, or we can call it, we get the Divine Discretion… the light of the Spirit, which shines through your Hamsa Chakra, gives you wisdom. Wisdom doesn’t mean that you know how to argue things or you fight with people. No, it doesn’t mean that! Wisdom means how you take to the good side of everything, to enjoy it, this is Wisdom. And that you avoid all destructive things and take to something constructive.” (1992/09/13)
“Now, how can we improve our Hamsa then? It’s a big problem, because if our Hamsa is sick, is over-conditioned. The Kundalini cannot work on it; it just gives up. Now, so for Hamsa we use all these physical things. Like I said, put the ghee in the nose. Keep it in a way that it is nourished properly. Because Kundalini, if it tries to too much attack the Hamsa, it will have a problem. Problem because, as it is most of our time we spend in such a manner that your Hamsa things become – what you call the epithelial cells, the linings – become dried out. When the Kundalini rises, She may try to create a problem more for that dryness – maybe. So it is kept out, but it has an effect in the sense that even if there is a light outside, it can fall inside.”
“So it’s not the Kundalini directly that affects your Hamsa. It is like when the Kundalini awakens, you yourself see now that a person is, whether he is fair complexion or dark complexion, he is a human being. You reason it out and Hamsa clears up. Then you see yourself that, “Oh, I’m very egoistical.” You start seeing yourself through your Agnya, start seeing that, “I’m so conditioned.” So you reason it out, and that’s how you correct your conditionings. This is what is Hamsa chakra.”
