The Spiritual Monsoon Begins
It was in early November 1993, that the drizzle of Divine
Consciousness began. A Sahaja Yogi friend, Bhupinder, asked
permission from the father if he could teach his sons Kash (13 year-
old) and Shah (11 year-old) how to meditate. To allay any fears he
explained that it was a simple, extremely harmless, newly discovered
method of spiritual awakening.
Both children were given Self-Realization after which all three of
them meditated. When they finished Kash went straight to his father
and exclaimed that he had reached a beautiful land far away. The
father skeptically listened, occasionally glancing at his friend to
see if it made any sense to him.
Kash told that the very instant he closed his eyes and went into
meditation, he found himself standing on a soft carpet of clouds —
hues of blue and white not seen on Earth — spreading in all
directions as far as the eye could see. Some distance away there was
a very bright Light shining above and illuminating the entire
vastness. In spite of its dazzling brilliance he could gaze at it
without hurting his eyes. He just stood and looked around in
amazement and awe at the tranquillity and stunning beauty of the
surroundings. For a long time he continued gazing around this
strange serene land, wondering where he really was. Kash did not
even take one step in any direction. The sheer splendor of this
awesome scene illumined by a single dazzling Light and his inability
to comprehend where he was kept him mesmerized and rooted to one
spot.
After gazing around for about twenty minutes Kash closed his eyes
again, and descended back to Earth.
His ignorant father just took it as a figment of a child's
imagination. Unknown to him his Sahaja Yogi friend had just awakened
his son's Kundalini, the potential divine energy residing within
humans (Holy Spirit). (This is nothing short of a stupendous
revolutionary spiritual breakthrough achieved by Shri Mataji Nirmala
Devi, who bestows such priceless powers to any human desiring a
Higher Consciousness.) This very first spiritual experience of a
child immediately after Self-Realization — human connection with the
Universal Spirit through the awakening of the Kundalini — by another
Sahaja Yogi irrefutably confirms that all devotees of the Great
Supreme Spirit have been endowed with the spiritual power to give
the"second birth.”This fact absolutely confirms what Shri Mataji
has proclaimed to the world — That SHE is the One who will
emancipate humankind!
