"The necessity to return to the Divine Mother in order to become a New Adam, a second born, a Divine Child has been asserted by Lord Jesus. It is time that those western seekers who have engaged themselves in intellectual pursuits use their intellect to discover the Unity of the message of the various mythologies and religions; they had better realize the greatness of the Christian promise and the value of the other world religions. HH Mataji has brilliantly exposed these teachings in a new light which also illuminates other religious traditions and contemporary science. It is time for us to discover that the true object of Knowledge is integration. All the great religions are one.

Days Gone By

"I was of the opinion that an open-minded boy could not ignore the findings of eastern spirituality. So I read about it, and I also visited some masters imported from India. To my mind the teachings of Indian philosophy answer many outstanding questions pertaining to the genesis of the Universe, the relation between spirit and matter, the existential status of man, the path of liberation, etc.

On the other hand, after having visited some 'masters' for a while I begin seeing the tricks that they play upon their followers. It was distressing to find out that most are fakes, many are corrupt and that they are using the energy of the people who blindly surrendered to them, not to mention taking away their material possessions. I felt sorry for many of these disciples, but felt that some others deserved their lot...

In 1974, when I was studying at the John Hopkins University in Baltimore (Maryland) I became convinced that only a radical historical happening could break the vicious circle of individual and collective disequilibria. I somehow reached the conclusion that the break-through would be an epistemological one - that is: it would occur in the field of the human awareness . . . The present day type of California circus, fake gurus, false prophets, Science-fiction and so-called 'new churches' were only showing that the necessity of an epistemological breakthrough was in the air...

There is nothing universal about the University's knowledge. It is an orderly chaos of particulars, everyone cultivating one's private little province without any relation to the whole. Lucky me, I'm getting my MA degree! At once I jump in a 1954 Packard via New Orleans, Los Angeles. I like travelling; life is fun again; I'm going to see the Grand Canyon and swim in the Pacific Sea.

I completed my cycle of 'American' experiences, in going as deep into the Californian counter-culture without hurting myself too much. Maybe they had the answer I was looking for! An answer, I knew, existed: I could feel it in the beauty of the world, in the writing of the sages, in loving or being loved, and yet I could feel it and know at the same time that something prevented me from being one with it. I could sometimes reach 'that stage' through very short instances of blissful intensity. Again and again, I had been trying to break the invisible wall between me and Reality, me and myself, me and the unity of love. Were we not, all of us, looking towards the same goal? All, brothers and sisters, trying to pierce through selfishness and confusion, to break through dreams and illusion, to wake up, to be free, to reach the point where we could look around and say: 'Yes this I was, am and will always be. The world is shivering with my joy. I am, you are and we are one.'

In California, I reached the end of the road . . . I remember one evening near Pacific Palisades (Los Angeles), left stranded on the beach, kneeling toward the ocean and the coming night, muttering my little 'prayer on the Pacific': 'My Lord, my love, it is You I seek, it is You I want, it is You I seek, it is You I want. Help me to rejoin You. All of You who have the power to help me, help me join Him.' ...

In Berkeley I got from an Indian friend of mine, a very bright and sweet boy, the address of a person living near London. He told me, 'She is truly a Mother and She is Divine. She took birth in the past as Seeta, Radha, the Holy Virgin Mary; She is the promised Avatara of the Shakti and She has come again for the sake of Her children. Oh, you cannot know, you should go and see Her.'

'But Rajesh; how can you say things like that?' - 'You can feel it, Gregoire, you can actually feel it. You can feel tremendous energy coming out of Her, like vibrations, and it changes your state of consciousness!'

By that time I knew how to refrain emotional and mental reactions to such an apparently crazy statement; experience only can be trusted: 'So, I thought, maybe, maybe not. Let's see.' Me feelings and thoughts were not exactly serene though. On one hand, the enormity of my friend's statement made it very difficult for me to consider that he could possibly be right. We had been waiting for so long! It is almost inconceivable to believe that, at last, a true divine Incarnation was actually living in this part of the world, eating, sleeping, unknown to the world and yet preparing its redemption. On the other hand the signs of the time were pointing towards something at the same time incredible and imminent. We were among the false prophets of the last days announced by Jesus, in a growing conjuncture of spiritism, drugs, sexual aberrations pointing towards social dissolution. In the developed countries, technology was out of control. In the developing countries sheer misery was out of control; the physical survival of mankind looked like an awesome challenge. If ever the world stage was to be set up for the coming of the Ultimate Redeemer, it had to be now.

As the existing mess was man and especially male-made, I found it rather satisfying that the Incarnation might be of the feminine gender (the Hindu 'Divine Mother' 'Mataji.') It cast an exciting light on Christian dogmas also. So I began to be attracted to the idea of meeting my friend's teacher. 'If this is so, what am I doing here?' I packed up, got a ride to Chicago, flew to the East Coast, and from there to London where Mataji was staying. The last lines written in the USA betray joyous expectations.

Bring forth that for which I'm striving.
Help me to let you take me in your hand.
The power which controls power is love.
The great adventure, the fantastic ride, the unknown ride.

When I look back at these twenty-five years I must say that I have been extremely lucky. I had not been eaten by lions, neither stabbed or stoned. I did not have to drink an unhealthy potion like Socrates nor did I blow half my brain cells like an acid freak. I did not even take a train to Siberia. I had been comforted by the thought that my quest was not particularly original. Looking for the answer to the same questions which had been debated by so many monks, kings, poets, philosophers, madmen and saints. Debates which echoed in the chamber of Pharaoh, the courtyards of Akbar's Fatherpur Sikri, the cells of Buddhist and Cistercian cloisters. Very old questions indeed. Today, as yesterday, they are at the core of the evolution of thought and society.

Is there an answer? Can 'The ANSWER' be found? I had been hopeful, desperate, cynical. Until the day I met a most adorable, impressive and mysterious super human being: Her Holiness Mataji Nirmala Devi.'"

"The Kingdom is the merging of Kundalini in the seventh chakra (subtle-somatic center) at the top of the brain (Sahasrara) the abode of the awakened Shakti (divine energy.) This chakra has been described in the great mandala of the Shri-Chakra in Shri Shankaracharya's work the Saundarya-Lahari: The Flood of Beauty. It has been referred to as Buddha's thousand petalled lotus.

The Gate is the sixth chakra on the path of Kundalini between and above the eyebrows (ajnya), referred to as the 'third eye.' It is the abode of Lord Jesus Christ, the one who mastered the Buddhi (intellect) and is the Bouddha.

The key to that Gate is the child-like surrender coming from the heart chakra (anahata) abode of Lord Shiva, which has been referred to by Lord Jesus: 'Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a child shall not enter.' Luke 18.17.'"

"The necessity to return to the Divine Mother in order to become a New Adam, a second born, a Divine Child has been asserted by Lord Jesus. It is time that those western seekers who have engaged themselves in intellectual pursuits use their intellect to discover the Unity of the message of the various mythologies and religions; they had better realize the greatness of the Christian promise and the value of the other world religions. HH Mataji has brilliantly exposed these teachings in a new light which also illuminates other religious traditions and contemporary science. It is time for us to discover that the true object of Knowledge is integration. All the great religions are one. This is revealed by actualization when our own integration takes place through rebirth.

Although the Great Goddess (Adi Shakti) is 'Truly Formless' (see the Devipurana) She has been worshipped through millennia in countless aspects and forms. The three great aspects through which She is channeling Her own power are Mahalaxshmi, Mahasaraswati, Mahakali. She is also known to have taken various incarnated forms (avataras.)

It is thus described in the Scriptures that She is the Primordial Power, the utterly Holy. It is certainly not easy for the western reader to face the very serious hypothesis that She can take human form. To talk about it is even more difficult. This field of Reality only underlines the limitations of ideas and words.

It is only in the holy silence of collective consciousness after achieving self-realization that anything can be revealed about Her. She is supreme, beyond praise, beyond words and certainly beyond anything that can be written. And yet the purpose of this book - an introduction to Sahaja Yoga - cannot be fulfilled without paying due homage to the absolutely unique personality of The Mother who can trigger the super human step in the dynamic process of evolution. After all, the validity of Sahaja Yoga rests upon the authenticity of the teacher who revealed it. And who is great enough to perform such a grand task? Hence in this pitiful time of false prophets and commercialised gurus listen to the TRUTH. When the thieves and robbers are transvestite as saints, teachers and yogic masters, when traditional religions have only too often sunk into lifeless conformism, or economic activities, when words such as 'Divine,' 'God,' 'Holy Spirit' sound almost futile, when the honest seeker is left alone, seemingly abandoned between the stupid and perverted, at this time I have to tell you: awaken your mind to the prospect that the Divine Mother is manifesting in the present time. Of course, Truth is beyond belief and disbelief; it can be experienced only in doubtless awareness because that is where Truth belongs. However, to those of us who have not experienced, we may say a few things:

She is the Teacher who displays a total mastery over the Ultimate Knowledge and who at the same time also provides the disciple with the possibility of experimentally verifying the authenticity of this teaching; She is the Teacher who transforms the disciple's Awareness into a new dimension instead of merely teaching him. Such a Teacher can only open a new cycle of Knowledge in which science, philosophy and spirituality will be synthesized in one integrated understanding. You naturally wonder: who can this Teacher be?”

"It seems that the main task of the past spiritual instructors of mankind has been to explain, describe or even dictate what such a life should be which has been called the virtuous or dharmic life. Of course, a further consequence of our hypothesis is to be wakeful. If the event which will trigger our collective ascent is an historical one, that is, located within time and space, we should not fail to recognize it when the opportunity arises.

Can we not guess what that event could be? 'It is because man cannot move towards God; the God has to come to him in a human incarnation.' So tell millennial religions traditions. So many of us are looking for a Deliverer! The theme pervades books, movies, science fiction and daily day-dreaming because the expectation is very much alive in our consciousness. Could this smoke be without a fire? Quite a few esoteric communities claim that the 'white Fraternity' (the invisible masters from the supraconscious realm) provided them with startling information: the Divine Incarnation who will redeem Mankind has already been in our midst for over half a century! But how does one recognize the true Incarnation? Are we sure that we would have recognized the son of God when He entered Jerusalem seating on a donkey?”

"HH Mataji Nirmala Devi was born the day of the spring equinox, the 21st March 1923, at twelve o'clock in Chinwara, in the exact centre of India. She choose to take birth in an Indian Christian family...

At this moment, taking into consideration the local time, the Sun was exactly on the Meridian in full glory, and being in the zero degree of Aries and the 30th degree of Pisces, it made a rajayogo (astral configuration of prominence and power.) The rising sign is cancer with the ascendant in the 9th degree. It is strongly aspected by five planets (Jupiter, Mercury, Uranus, Mars and the Moon, while it is occupied by Pluto which itself forms grand trines with three of the five planets and sextiles with the other two.) The Ascendant in Cancer indicates the Universal Mother while Jupiter strongly aspected in the fifth house makes Her a World Teacher. The combinations of the planets in the angles of the chart indicate unprecedented spiritual powers.”

"In the ancient Nala Damayanti Purana Kali explains to Nala the importance of Kali Yuga, the modern times. When the worst of all times (Ghor Kali Yuga) will torture Mother Earth, the Adi Shakti will incarnate and grant salvation to saintly seekers who are now seeking God, secluded in thick jungles, steep valleys and inaccessible mountains. They will be reborn in Kali Yuga as normal worldly people, ordinary householders. She will then give birth to a new race. Glory to Her! Her coming in Her complete, integrated form should truly represent the most formidable event in world history. HH Mataji did once say in a very deep meditative mood, 'To grant you salvation, My children, I have come with all My Powers.'"

"The Water of Life is firstly the River of Cool Vibrations emitted from the Primordial Divine Energy (Adi Shakti.) It has been identified in the scriptures as the Wind of the Holy Ghost (the breath of the Pneuma of the Greek fathers) or the Holy river Gangga falling down from Lord Shiva's head. They are also the Chaitanya of Shri Shankaracharya. At the moment of Self-realization, the subject can indeed feel these vibrations as a cool wind, or, depending upon the force, as a cool river flowing into the fingertips and later his hands and his whole being. At the stage of God realization the Water of Life, referred to as 'amrit' or nectar, is felt as a shower of indescribable bliss pouring down from the Sahasrara, into the central and autonomous nervous systems.”

"As we now move to other ancient scriptures let us not be blinded by 'religious' parochialism. A mind overly conditioned by the fatherly connotation of the Judeo-Christian tradition will, at first, have some difficulty at the conception of the Divine in the feminine form of The Mother. And yet, the cult of The Motherhood of God, from time immemorial, has been attested by archaeological evidence from all quarters of the globe. It seems that it is the Indian subcontinent which presents us with the most elaborate expressions of this worship.

According to Advaita Vedanta Ultimate Reality is formless undifferentiated consciousness (Nirguna.) This condition, which is at the same time the Absolute Being and Absolute Nothingness1 cannot be conceived of. Through eons of ages, it goes through alternate phases of potentiality and manifestation. The alternation of this cosmic rhythm has been called: 'the respiration of Brahma.' When the ultimate reality rests in its latent phase, the Unmanifested, it is contained in 'IT.' In the activating phase of its manifestation, the 'IT' becomes 'He' and 'Her'; HH Mataji says that the first step of the Creation takes place when God separates itself into Himself as a witness and Herself as His power. One aspect is Sadashiva (The Primordial Existent and Witness, God the Almighty, the Father, the Purusha); the other is His power, the Adi Shakti, (The Primordial Energy of Divine Love, the Divine Mother, the Prakriti.)2 Thus The Mother is the Primordial Energy . . . The Creation, spiritual and material, springs from the Divine Mother, the Holy Spirit of the Christian tradition. She creates various strata of existence, among which is this phenomenal universe. As this Primordial Energy is the genitrix of everything we experience, She is worshipped as the Sacred Mother. We read in the first sutras of the Kama-Kalavilasa:

'Victory to Her the Primordial Power, the seed from which sprouts hereafter the entire creation, static and kinetic universes, the eternal, the incomparable, who is of the nature of Her own bliss, and who manifests as a mirror to His (Shiva) self.'

The Samaya Mata recalls that the distinction between He and Her is only an apparent one: 'There is no Shiva without Shakti nor is there any Shakti without Shiva. There is no distinction between them just as there is none between the moon and the shining.' The Shakti combines in Her person both the manifestation of the Universal Existence (male form) and the Universal Energy (female form.) She is thus identified with the One. The actualisation of this primordial unity within the disciple is the object of the Shakti worship. She is the central object of worship because She is the manifested dimension of the Ultimate. She is the Great One who bridges the gap between the Infinity and the Finite; only through Her compassionate meditation can the finite human being regain Infinity. And that is indeed the very blessing that She wants to graciously bestow on Her children.

'Thyself, with a view of manifesting Thyself in the form of the Universe, inwardly assumest the form of Consciousness and Bliss.' - Shri Shankaracharya, Saundarya Lahari 35

Let us again remember that the Holy Spirit, as the Primordial Energy, is the Christian mysterious symbol for The Mother.

We ought to mention, that in the apocryphal Acts of Saint Thomas, the Holy Spirit is (rightly) invoked as 'hidden Mother,' 'Mother of all life.' These statements should help us to recognize the true wisdom of the early gnostics and Syrian fathers who grasped something of the identity (Holy Spirit = Mother = Energy.) The esoteric perception certainly casts a new light on the intriguing dialogue between Lord Jesus Christ and Nicodemus:

'Truly, Truly, I say to you unless one is born anew, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.' Nicodemus said to him, 'how can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?' Jesus answered 'Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter the Kingdom of God' - John 3.3

The necessity to return to the Divine Mother in order to become a New Adam, a second born, a Divine Child has been asserted by Lord Jesus. It is time that those western seekers who have engaged themselves in intellectual pursuits use their intellect to discover the Unity of the message of the various mythologies and religions; they had better realize the greatness of the Christian promise and the value of the other world religions. HH Mataji has brilliantly exposed those teachings in a new light which also illuminates the other religious traditions and contemporary science. It is time for us to discover that the true object of Knowledge is integration. All the great religions are one. This is revealed by actualization when our own integration takes place through rebirth.

The three great aspects through which She is channeling Her own power are Mahalaxshmi, Mahasaraswati, Mahakali. She is also known to have taken various incarnated forms (avtaras.)

It is thus described in the Scriptures that She is the Primordial Power, the utterly Holy. It is certainly not easy for the western reader to face the very serious hypothesis that She can take human form. To talk about it is even more difficult. This field of reality only underlines the limitations of ideas and words.

1. In Mahayana buddhism 'tathata' (suchness) and 'sunyata' (emptiness) are interchangeable notions.
2. Purusha and Prakriti represent the apparent opposition between the Father-Spirit and The Mother-Nature.'"

"Innumerable people have had visions about HH Mataji. A little group of London Sahaja Yogis were meditating in front of HH Mataji. Suddenly one of us left the room. When we asked him why, later on, he said he had been aware of thousands of white-clad beings around us and that he had been scared by their might.

In Buenos-Aires a lady who had no knowledge of the Indian mythology began describing Shri Laxshmi in the Vaikuntha stage, lost in ecstasy in front of HH Mataji. March 1976: HH Mataji is sitting in my garden in Kathmandu, gazing toward the sky. I am sitting nearby. I am looking at Her. Suddenly the lines around HH Mataji are melting away. I realise that all the lines are dissolving and only one presence remains which imposes itself onto my attention; my gaze abandons the vanishing garden and again I look at HH Mataji. And I see the figure of a man or rather, of a God, a face of unsurpassable greatness, light blue in complexion, radiating with a beauty and majesty for which there is no name. I am bewildered, adoring, subjugated. Yes, it is You, I have already seen You, I remember this Godhead... and then I bend towards the ground because I feel my eyes are not pure enough to look at Him. When I look at Her again, everything is normal. I tell Her what happened. She says simply: 'It was Shri Krishna.'"

"Often the game is hide and seek. It is the game the Devi played with the seekers for thousands of years: 'I am like The Mother bird who takes her little ones out of the nest to teach them how to fly. She flies away, hides behind a tree and calls them. The children rush toward her, but she flies behind a further tree and calls them again.'

Hiding is, of course, the consummate art of Mayadevi, the Goddess of Illusion. A lady told us she knew Mrs. C.P. Shrivastava for the last twenty years. She met her mostly at diplomatic parties and receptions. She knew a very quiet and dignified lady who would hardly speak, and was stunned to discover HH Mataji at a spiritual function, a forceful outspoken leader, superbly articulate, playfully mastering rhetoric art and full of deep insights. She could not understand how a person of such talents and intelligence could patiently hide herself behind the personality of the silent housewife, all the time graciously listening to the superfluous and bombastic talk of half drunk people...

She is totally human and totally super-human; to comprehend HH Mataji is an absolute impossibility for people of rational identification (I know what I am talking about); we just go nuts, up and down, left and right, and we don't find anything. But in the surrendered silence of thoughtless awareness we can know something. That the drop dissolves in the ocean. Kabir says: 'When I am drenched in your Grace why should I speak.' Nanaka say: 'Oh seeker, unless and until you have found yourself, how can you recognize the illusion?'"

"We know that Self-realization, the second birth, marks the entry to the Kingdom of God which still has many provinces that we may not know. Therefore, we are merely inviting you to enter it and explore it for yourself. To this effect let us unveil the meaning of the instrument (yantra) in-built in each and every individual, the Kundalini that brings about our rebirth. It is the psychosomatic instrument by which the advent of the Kingdom of Heaven can be actualised on Earth. However, this account will not be complete. Let us hope that HH Mataji Nirmala Devi will, one day, grant us a book fully displaying the process of Man's second birth and spiritual ascent. She indeed promises, 'I will tell you all the secrets.'"

"In the field of scientific investigation, any great discovery appears to be a revelation from the Universal Unconscious to a specific researcher. The discovery is then broadcast for the benefit of the entire human community. Then comes the elaboration and culmination of the process. Take, for instance, electricity: the laws, properties and applications of electrical energy manifested as soon as the human beings started using the discovery. Sahaja Yoga proceeds along the same lines. ..

All that is taking place now has been prophesied by the Scriptures of different civilizations. Sahaja Yoga manifests this breakthrough onto the new evolutionary plane for which the human race has been waiting. This knowledge has come to us through the Universal Unconscious. Now it is time to broadcast it. The beauty of Sahaja Yoga blossoms in en masse realisation. The individual yogi (microcosm) spreads to the society (macrocosm) the knowledge of the great primordial Cosmic Being: The VIRATA. That is the culminating revelation that explains, integrates and fulfils all the previous revelations. It is the fulfillment of the social contract between God and His creation, Man.”

"The mystical path consists in overcoming the brains usual performance in order to attain higher stages of consciousness beyond the three-dimensional world. Modern science is not yet in a condition to explain such experiences but it has lately reached a point where researchers have begun to perceive the direction of their work, especially in the field of the neuro-endocrinology of the brain and other researchers in psycho-somatic medicine: Is there any kind of 'genetic message' in the human seed that brings forth the consciousness mutation? If the process is an evolutionary one, what kind of energy operates the connection of the human attention with a higher level of awareness? Increasing references are been made to Kundalini-yoga: the yoga which awakens the residual consciousness with man. Various publications today are expressing the first astonishment of modern researchers in front of a realm that great saints have been exploring empirically for millennia and which can be expressed in secular terms as the world of maximization of energies. Many Westerners today are considering with a new interest the ancestral spiritual 'know-how' developed in India and are beginning to understand how these investigations were of central importance in the elaboration of the Asiatic world. The influence of the great spiritual masters was based upon a deep knowledge of the psychosomatic integration of human and super-human energies together with their ability to present this knowledge in a coherent theology. Indeed, they deeply determined the way Asiatics considered human destiny and thereby the way they considered what should be done about it.”

The Messiah-Paraclete "If we have to change this world, and if we have to save our people from complete destruction, we have to take to wisdom, and that is only possible when the brain is enlightened by Kundalini. This is what is very important today, when we see that this world is on the verge of destruction. Of course the Creator Himself is very anxious to save us and that is why He has in these modern times which are called Kali Yuga, made the All-pervading power activated.”

The Paraclete Shri Mataji

"So, now a New Age has started which is called the Age of Aquarius, meaning the pitcher carrier of spiritual holy water that is the work of Kundalini. The activity of the Kundalini is like the sap of the tree that rises and nourishes all parts of the tree and does not get stuck at one flower (religion).”

The Paraclete Shri Mataji

"Moreover these are special times. This is the Resurrection Time. The Last Judgment is done by the Kundalini. On the fingertips one can feel oneself and can judge oneself. Moreover the All-pervading power has become very activated, so the Kali Yuga (present Age of Darkness) is passing into Krita Yuga of Brahma Chaitanya (activated All-pervading power). This is helping the en-masse enlightenment and self realisation.”

The Paraclete Shri Mataji

"After this will be Satya Yuga (Age of Truth). We have to take advantage of this activity of the Brahma Chaitanya by all the time being corrected with the All-pervading Power and achieving our realisation and establishing it. After such a state a person becomes very dynamic and compassionate. His race, sex, nationality and age do not hamper his dynamic life.”

The Paraclete Shri Mataji

"Whatever one is doing now is relative in this modern world. In relative terms, everything is working it out. This relative working is not going to give any absolute results. Absolute knowledge only comes from the Spirit, and so unless we know the Self, the Spirit, we cannot know what is absolute and what is Absolute Truth. Otherwise, when we live in the relative world we will be always quarrelling, fighting and having wars. But if one is in the Absolute then one knows that there is only one Truth for everything, and there will be no more argument or discussion; everybody will enjoy that Truth as it is Absolute.”

We call it Aquarius, as one of the signs, and is the same as Kumbha in Sanskrit language. So it is the Age of Aquarius, is the Age of the Kundalini. Secondly is the Age of the Kundalini which will nourish, which is The Mother (Divine Feminine - Adi Shakti, Holy Spirit, Ruh or Great Spirit Mother) within you, which will rise, will give you the completeness of it, and which will connect you with your Spirit which ultimately gives you the enlightenment by which you become 'collectively conscious'. You become, again I say. it's not just telling a story. You just become!"

The Messiah-Paraclete "In every human being, as you know very well, there is Kundalini. There's no discrimination, every one, whether you are a Muslimm, a Jew, Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Farsi, anyone. You may call by any name. Now just look at how we accept a certain denomination for ourselves. You are born, say, to a Christian family, or you are born to a Hindu family, immediately you start thinking that you are there to uphold all the flags of that religion in which you are born. You are born in that religion without your knowledge, without your permission, without any understanding, so how can you belong to that religion? You have got Kundalini, everybody has got Kundalini, so you can only belong to the religion of humanity where every human being has got Kundalini.”

Apokalypsis: The fulfillment of eschatological instruction by the Paraclete in the Age to Come promised by Jesus at the Last Supper

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi (1923-2011) was Christian by birth, Hindu by marriage, and Paraclete by duty.
Total number of recorded talks 3058: Public Programs 1178, Pujas 651, and other (private conversations) 1249

“The Paraclete will come (15:26; 16:7, 8, 13) as Jesus has come into the world (5:43; 16:28; 18:37)... The Paraclete will take the things of Christ (the things that are mine, ek tou emou) and declare them (16:14-15). Bishop Fison describes the humility of the Spirit, 'The true Holy Spirit of God does not advertise Herself: She effaces Herself and advertises Jesus.' ...
It is by the outgoing activity of the Spirit that the divine life communicates itself in and to the creation. The Spirit is God-in-relations. The Paraclete is the divine self-expression which will be and abide with you, and be in you (14:16-17). The Spirit's work is described in terms of utterance: teach you, didasko (14:26), remind you, hypomimnesko (14:26), testify, martyro (15:26), prove wrong, elencho (16:8), guide into truth, hodego (16:13), speak, laleo (16:13, twice), declare, anangello (16:13, 14, 15). The johannine terms describe verbal actions which intend a response in others who will receive (lambano), see (theoreo), or know (ginosko) the Spirit. Such speech-terms link the Spirit with the divine Word. The Spirit's initiatives imply God's personal engagement with humanity. The Spirit comes to be with others; the teaching Spirit implies a community of learners; forgetful persons need a prompter to remind them; one testifies expecting heed to be paid; one speaks and declares in order to be heard. The articulate Spirit is the correlative of the listening, Spirit-informed community.
The final Paraclete passage closes with a threefold repetition of the verb she will declare (anangello), 16:13-15. The Spirit will declare the things that are to come (v.13), and she will declare what is Christ's (vv. 14, 15). The things of Christ are a message that must be heralded...
The intention of the Spirit of truth is the restoration of an alienated, deceived humanity... The teaching role of the Paraclete tends to be remembered as a major emphasis of the Farewell Discourses, yet only 14:26 says She will teach you all things. (Teaching is, however, implied when 16:13-15 says that the Spirit will guide you into all truth, and will speak and declare.) Franz Mussner remarks that the word used in 14:26, didaskein, "means literally 'teach, instruct,' but in John it nearly always means to reveal.” (Stevick 2011, 292-7)
