“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.

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).

During this week’s sessions, we will learn more about each of the Chakras of our Subtle System and how we can use Sahaja Yoga techniques to enhance their qualities and clear any blockages, if required. Please explore the information below to familiarize yourself with the Subtle System and the Chakras which will be further discussed during each day.

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.

• 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.

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)

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 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

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

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

“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)

“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. “

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

“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.”

“… 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
