"She is to be the medium through whom they will enter into a full
understanding of the historic revelation in the incarnate Christ"
Dictionary of the Bible, [Edited by J. Hastings], Charles
Scribner's Sons, 1963.)
Dear All,
More than two millennia ago Lord Jesus promised that He will send
the Comforter in the name of God Almighty. The Comofrter/
Paraclete"Will bear witness to Jesus, declaring to the disciples
the meaning of His words and acts (16:12-15) in a way which was
impossible during the earthly ministry.”
According to Elaine Pagels the"Gospel to the Hebrews likewise has
Jesus speak of"my Mother, the Spirit.”[17] In the Gospel of
Thomas, Jesus contrasts his earthly parents, Mary and Joseph, with
his divine Father — the Father of Truth — and his divine Mother, the
Holy Spirit.”1
To justify the feminine interpretation of the Comforter/Holy Spirit
the Dictionary of the Bible will be examined.
"It states that the Fourth Gospel does not narrate Jesus' baptism
but explains its significance. Since the Holy Spirit descended and
remained on Him, He is singled out as the Son of God who will
baptize with the Holy Spirit (John 1:32-34.) His teachings direct to
rebirth through the Spirit where a new state of being is attained by
the grace of the Spirit — this is the only way of entering the
Kingdom of the Spirit. Water is associated with the Spirit (John 3:5-
8; cf 1:13.) However, this salvation of humankind through rebirth
can only take place after His death and exaltation (cf 3:14.)
Therefore this promise of the coming Spirit points to the
future: "Now this he said about the Spirit, which those who believed
in him were to receive; for as yet the Spirit had not been given
[or, Spirit was not yet], because Jesus was not yet glorified"
(7:39.) The discourses following Last Supper hold the key to the
narration of the Spirit. It is referred to as the"paraclete"
(Counselor) or"Advocate"," intercessor"or more appropriately the
Spirit of paraclesis ... With these terms and the use of masculine
instead of neuter pronouns, the concept of the Spirit attains a more
personal nature than at any other point in the Bible.”2
"Other texts discovered at Nag Hammadi demonstrate one striking
difference between these"heretical"sources and orthodox ones:
gnostic sources continually use sexual symbolism to describe God.
One might expect that these texts show the influence of archaic
pagan traditions of The Mother Goddess, but for the most part, their
language is specifically Christian, unmistakably related to a Jewish
heritage. Yet instead of describing a monistic and masculine God,
many of these texts speak of God as a dyad who embraces both
masculine and feminine elements....
One group of gnostics sources claims to have received a secret
tradition from Jesus through James and through Mary Magdalene.
Members of this group prayed to both the divine Father and
Mother: "From Thee, Father, and through Thee, Mother, the two
immortal names, Parents of the divine being, and thou, dweller in
heaven, humanity of the mighty name ...”[5] Other texts indicate
that their authors had wondered to whom a single, masculine God
proposed," Let us make man [adam] in our image and likeness, after
our likeness" (Genesis 1:26). Since the Genesis account goes on to
say that humanity was created"male and female" (1:27), some
concluded that the God in whose image we are made must also be both
masculine and feminine — both Father and Mother.”3
“A second characterization of the divine Mother describes her as
Holy Spirit. The Apocryphon of John relates how John went out after
the crucifixion with"great grief"And had a mystical vision of the
Trinity. As John was grieving, he says that The [heavens were opened
and the whole] creation [which is] under heaven shone and [the
world] trembled. [And I was afraid, and I] saw in the light ... a
likeness with multiple forms ... and the likeness had three forms.
[14]
To John's question the vision answers: "He said to me, 'John, Jo[h]
n, why do you doubt, and why are you afraid? ... I am the one who
[is with you] always. I [am the Father]; I am The Mother; I am the
Son.”[15] This gnostic description of God — as Father, Mother and
Son — may startle us at first, but on reflection we can recognize it
as another version of the Trinity. The Greek terminology for the
Trinity, which includes the neuter term for spirit (pneuma)
virtually requires that the third"Person"of the Trinity be
asexual. But the author of the Secret Book has in mind the Hebrew
term for spirit, ruah, a feminine word; and so concludes that the
feminine"Person"conjoined with the Father and Son must be the
Mother. The Secret Book goes on to describe the divine Mother:...
(She is) ... the image of the invisible, virginal, perfect
spirit ... She became The Mother of everything, for she existed
before them all, The Mother-father [matropater] ... [16]
The Gospel to the Hebrews likewise has Jesus speak of"my Mother,
the Spirit.”[17] In the Gospel of Thomas, Jesus contrasts his
earthly parents, Mary and Joseph, with his divine Father — the
Father of Truth — and his divine Mother, the Holy Spirit.”4
Had the Truth pertaining to the 'gender' of the Holy Spirit of
Christianity been cross-examined against other scriptures — Adi
Shakti of Hinduism, Prajnaparamita of Buddhism, Eykaa Mayee of
Sikhism, Ruh of Islam, and the Shekinah of Judaism which are all
feminine in nature — then we may have come across text that proclaim
as follows:
Question: "What does it mean that the Holy Spirit is our Paraclete?”
Answer: The time of the arrest and consequent crucifixion of the
Lord Jesus Christ was drawing near. As Jesus met with His disciples
in the"upper room", He expounded to them many things. In John 13:33
He stated: "My children, I will be with you only a little longer...
where I am going you cannot come.”The announcement of the coming
separation led to the indication of its purpose. The season of
bereavement was to be a season of spiritual growth. To this end
Christ gave a commandment fitted to lead His disciples to
appropriate the lessons of His life, and so, by realizing their true
character, to follow and to find Him as indicated in verses 34 and
35.
In light of their weak faith at this point in time, Jesus told them
in John 14:1," Do not let your heart to be troubled. Trust in God;
trust also in Me ...”Jesus had just explained to them that one them
was a traitor; He had warned Peter that he would deny His Lord three
times; and, perhaps the heaviest blow of all was that Jesus was
going to leave them (John 3:33). Now He says," ... let not your
heart be troubled" (John 14:1). In John 14:16, 17 Jesus gives them a
statement of great encouragement: "And I will ask the Father (pray),
and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever ...
the Spirit of Truth" (NIV).
The Greek word translated"Comforter or Counselor"Is"Parakletos"
as found in John 14:16, 26; 15:26; and 16:7. Once it is
translated"Advocate" (1 John 2:1). The New International Version
(NIV) has translated the word as Counselor. The form of the word is
unquestionably passive. It can properly mean only"one called to the
side of another," and that with the secondary notion of counselling
or supporting or aiding him. The contexts in which the
word"paraclete"occurs in the New Testament lead to the same
conclusions as the form, and the independent usage of the word. In
John 2:1, the sense"Advocate"Alone suits the argument, though the
Greek fathers explain the term as applied to the Lord in the same
way as in the Gospel. In the Gospel again, the sense of Advocate,
counsel, one who pleads, convinces, convicts, who strengthens on the
one hand and defends on the other, is alone adequate. Christ as the
Advocate pleads the believer's cause with the Father against the
accuser Satan (1 John 2:1; compare Romans 8:26, and also Revelation
12:10; Zechariah 3:1). The Holy Spirit (Parakletos) as the Advocate
pleads the believer's cause against the world (John 16:8ff) and also
Christ's cause with the believer (John 14:26; 15:26; 16:14).
Jesus, in saying what He did to His disciples was comforting their
troubled hearts. In 14:16 He states: "I will pray to the Father and
He will send you another Comforter (paraklete—another is 'heteros",
one of the same kind, which is the Holy Spirit). First of all, this
paraclete is God the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity.
She is a true personality and a personal being. She indwells every
believer. She has been called in some translations"Encourager.”As
the"Spirit of Truth"The Holy Spirit illumines the Word of God so
believers may understand it. She leads us in that truth of God's
Word. Se uses the Word of truth to guide us into the will and the
work of God.”5
"The Paraclete is to be sent by God the Father in response to the
prayer of Christ (14:16), by Christ Himself (16:7), by the Father in
Christ's name (14:26), or by Christ from the Father (15:26.) She is
to represent and mediate the glorified Christ to Her followers; She
is to be the medium through whom they will enter into a full
understanding of the historic revelation in the incarnate Christ,
teaching and instructing them and through them witnessing to the
world concerning Christ and the salvation and judgement which She
has brought. As the Spirit of Christ, who is Himself the truth
(14:6), She is the Spirit of truth (14:17, 15:26, 16:13) guiding
Christ's disciples into all the truth as She unfolds the meaning of
the revelation of God in Christ's deeds and words. She will mediate
Christ's presence to them (cf 14:18), bringing to their remembrance
and instructing them in the full significance of the things which
Jesus had said to them (14:26.) She will bear witness to Jesus,
declaring to the disciples the meaning of His words and acts (16:12-
15) in a way which was impossible during the earthly ministry, and
through their mission, especially under persecution, testify to the
hostile world (15:26 -16:4.) This mission of the Paraclete, like
that of Jesus Himself, is two-sided; for to the world which has
rejected Christ it brings judgement. She will convict the world in
respect of the sin of its unbeliever, in respect of the vindication
of Jesus in His exaltation to the Father, and in respect of the
condemnation of the devil through His death and glorification (16:8-
11.)"6
Indeed Jesus gives them a statement and promise of great
encouragement: "And I will ask the Father (pray), and He will give
you another Counselor to be with you forever ... the Spirit of
Truth" (NIV). That promise has been fulfilled to the letter.
But where is this Counselor, the Spirit of Truth? Where is She now,
supposed to reside with humans forever after being sent by the
Father? The 2,200-paged SHRI ADI SHAKTI: KINGDOM OF GOD and the
websites prove beyond a shadow of doubt that She resides within our
Sahasraras. She is a true personality and a personal being. She
indwells every believer of the Last Judgment and Resurrection. She
is the Shakti/Spirit within us that Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi has
revealed. That is why the 1000 Names of the Shri Lalita Sahasranama
are dedicated to Her. She is to be the medium through whom the
believers of the Last Judgment will enter into a full understanding
of the historic revelation in the incarnate Christ, teaching and
instructing them and through them witnessing to the world concerning
Christ and the salvation and judgement which She has brought. She
has borne witness to Jesus, declaring to the disciples the meaning
of His words and acts (16:12-15) in a way which was impossible
during the earthly ministry. Her advent and Divine Message must now
spread to the rest of the world.
The Sahaja Yoga organization, now effectually controlled by WCASY
and Sir C.P., has rejected and thwarted all attempts to make public
Shri Mataji's Advent and Divine Message. i assure you that under no
circumstance will they ever recover from this conspiracy against the
Comforter sent by Jesus Christ," the medium through whom they will
enter into a full understanding of the historic revelation in the
incarnate Christ, teaching and instructing them and through them
witnessing to the world concerning Christ and the salvation and
judgement which She has brought. As the Spirit of Christ, who is
Himself the truth (14:6), She is the Spirit of truth (14:17, 15:26,
16:13) guiding Christ's disciples into all the truth as She unfolds
the meaning of the revelation of God in Christ's deeds and words.
She will mediate Christ's presence to them (cf 14:18), bringing to
their remembrance and instructing them in the full significance of
the things which Jesus had said to them (14:26.) She will bear
witness to Jesus, declaring to the disciples the meaning of His
words and acts (16:12-15) in a way which was impossible during the
earthly ministry.”
The Sahaja Yoga organization is condemned for self-destruction! Look
around and you will realize its slow and gradual demise. Shri Mataji
will triumph and i keep repeating it based on scriptural facts and
eschatological expectations ................ and Her own promise to
establish Sahaja Yoga before She leaves. For the last few years we
are declaring and establishing the truth that Sahaja Yoga is
actually about the Last Judgment and Resurrection, and not about the
official claim of cures, stress management and peace of mind. We are
also declaring to all seekers that Shri Mataji is the medium through
whom humanity will enter into a full understanding of the historic
revelation in the incarnate Christ.
So again i have to ask - what is the nature of the negativity and
conspiracy by WCASY and the SY leadership to suppress and silence
those who uphold the true teachings of the Comforter sent by the
Saviour in the name of the Father? It is indeed a great blessing being
ostracized from such a deceitful and dishonest organization.
Jai Shri Mataji,
jagbir
