“Join Shri Mataji!”
The Divine Message on Tuesday night from Shri Ganesha as jotted down September 28, 1993 but only found almost a year later.* (Explained under heading "The Mighty Messenger)
“Late afternoon on September 28, 1993 Kash's father started his usual drinking binge and by nightfall was really inebriated.
His children were fast asleep and wife still at work. He switched his stereo system and began listening to Kitaro, his favorite artist. The soothing New Age music of harmony with Nature increased his sense of serenity, reflecting and complementing the stillness of the night. Nothing stirred. With eyes closed in deep inner peace and relaxation, he was completely at peace with himself and Earth. In this thoughtless trance-like stupor he drifted slowly into deep sleep.
He had no idea how long he was in that intoxicated sleep.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a thunderous voice bellowed, "JOIN SHRI MATAJI!" It was like a thunderclap that jerked him out of his drunken stupor into an awakened, shocked daze.
He whirled around in disbelief but there was no one. The intensity and clarity of this Mighty Call penetrated and shook every nerve and fiber of his body. Where did this majestic voice come from? Who was it that spoke with such authority?
The mind reeled in reverence to this divine message that had come like a massive bolt of Cosmic Consciousness. It was an awesome, extraordinary call for no power on Earth could have had that force of awakening a sleeping drunk.
Despite his intoxicated state he knew that this message had to be remembered at all cost. There was a force in it that jolted his numbed senses to act immediately, lest the sheer strength of intoxication would again reel him back into hapless lethargy and deep sleep. His heavily smashed state of mind ruled out any hope of remembrance. The only way was to somehow jot it down on something.
He managed to stagger to the kitchen table, take out his wallet, and write down the message and date on a calling card (the date took a considerable time to confirm.) The exact words written down were: 'Join Mataji 28/9/93.' He was confident that in the morning he would come across this card and find out who this Mataji (Mother) was.
Morning arrived, accompanied by a huge hangover.
But a strange thing happened. For some reason his body suddenly rejected cigarettes. Incredible as it may seem he just could not smoke anymore, accomplishing overnight what he had struggled—between intermittent bursts of inspired determination and New Year's resolutions—to kick this addiction of more than twenty-five years! He just could not understand why his body was suddenly rejecting cigarettes for no obvious reason.
Nonetheless he was proud of having done the almost impossible. This time he was certain that he would never smoke again.
The Call of the previous night was completely forgotten. There was not a single recollection of what had transpired just hours ago.
Such memory loss took place on certain occasions when the amount of alcohol exceeded his body's capacity to cope. It then supplied just the bare necessities to function—a sort of emergency power during an electrical failure—just sufficient to continue slaking the desire for more alcohol.
The card with the scribbled mighty message, misplaced within a photo pocket in the wallet, was completely forgotten. There it lay for nearly a year until September 5, 1994. Till then there was absolutely no knowledge of what had transpired on that fateful night of September 28, 1993.
Though his father had forgotten the Mighty Message there was no stopping the Divine Mother.
A few days later a Sahaja Yogi friend and guest asked for permission to give Kash(winder) and his brother Shahwinder Self-Realization by awakening their Kundalinis. Their father agreed as he had experienced Sahaja Yoga three years ago and, though uninterested himself, found no harm in his two young children getting their Self-Realization. It was more of a gesture not to offend a guest rather than any belief in that same mataji and her funny ganesha.
Kash (13 years-old) and Shahwinder (11 years-old) followed the Sahaja Yogi into their room and were given a detailed explanation of Sahaja Yoga, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Self-Realization, meditation, subtle system and Kundalini awakening.
After raising their Kundalinis the Sahaja Yogi told them to meditate.
When they finished Kash went straight to his father and exclaimed that he had journeyed to a very beautiful and peaceful land far away. He claimed that 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.
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 the spot. (Kash stood looking around and observing this strange land for about twenty minutes.)
The father skeptically listened, occasionally glancing at his friend to see if it made any sense to him. (Little did he know that his Sahaja Yogi friend had just awakened his son's Kundalini, the potential divine energy residing within humans at the base of their central nervous system, known as the sacrum bone through a stupendous spiritual breakthrough achieved by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, the founder of Sahaja Yoga.)
The next evening the same Sahaja Yogi gave Kash specific instructions and a mantra to be recited before going into meditation. As directed, Kash put his right palm on the ground and uttered this sacred mantra four times:
"Om Twameva Sakshat Shri Ganesha Sakshat
Shri Adi Shakti Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi Namoh Namah."
The dormant Kundalini energy inside his sacrum bone sprang into life, coursed through the central nervous system, and pierced his Sahasrara.
At that very instant, for the first time ever, he felt the Mother Earth breathing. She was breathing very gently and every heave of Her breath was felt on his palm, swelling slowly up, and then down again. She was a living organism just like all the creatures who were nourished by Her.
As he continued repeating the Mighty Mantra of Shri Ganesha the sacred Shri Bhumidevi (Mother Earth) continued inhaling and exhaling to reveal Her true nature. Her superconscious child was sure beyond all doubts that the Earth was breathing. Mother Earth was alive!
As he came through the celestial clouds and opened his spiritual eyes, the Divine Mother was there to receive him. The sight of Her standing right in front of him astounded the young child. Who was this stunningly beautiful young Woman who had appeared out of nowhere in this Divine Paradise? Who was this extremely attractive Being, all enfolded in a dazzling red and white sari, who had come to greet him?
In the first place where was he?
Shri Lalita Devi smiled and held out Her Hands, with open, upturned palms. She told him to open his palms and face them downwards over Her open palms. As Kash did so he found himself being levitated a few inches off the ground. Both began traveling towards the extremely brilliant Light, quickly reaching it and slowing down to a standstill.
A short distance away was a majestic golden Throne. Kash realized it was the same place he had seen the day before, for it was still under the same Light.
The Mahadevi walked to the Throne and sat down on it. Kash followed and squatted before Her, the luxuriant clouds providing extreme comfort.
He did not even bow down to Her for he had no idea what to do. All he knew was that he had been meditating on Earth and now he was in some strange land sitting before a very beautiful Woman on a majestic Golden Throne. He was sure that he was not dreaming, but just what was going on?
The Adi Shakti then told him that they should meditate.
Both simultaneously raised their Kundalinis and Kash realized that the Great Divine Mother was repeating the same method of Kundalini awakening that he had been taught by his father's friend. She brought both of Her Hands together and from the Mooladhara Chakra continuously encircled the left with the right, slowly rising all the way to the Sahasrara Chakra.
Shri Mata then tied a knot just above the Brahmarandhra (top of the head). This was repeated two more times. Then She opened Her left palm, resting it on the left knee, and with the right hand drew a protective arc over the entire body from left to right. This was done seven times. She then joined both palms in Namaskar and closed Her eyes. Both lapsed into meditation.
The attainment of the state of Sahaj Samadhi came instantly to Kash. The onrushing bliss was beyond description as the thoughtless state intensified the indescribable Joy. Wave upon wave of Paramchaitanya buffeted him into spiritual ecstasy. The spirit had merged into the Spirit. The human had become the Divine. The drop had become the Ocean. The individual consciousness had become the Universal Consciousness.
Time lost its essence and he could easily have remained suspended in this bliss for hours, even days. It was an awesome experience that could not be put into words, especially for a child.
After about 20 minutes the Divine Mother tapped him on his shoulders, and immediately he came out of Nirvana. She told him that it was time to go.
Kash did not even thank Her, so dazed was he by this spiritual experience. He just closed his spiritual eyes and descended through the thick layer of clouds, back to this planet known as Earth.
When he opened his physical eyes he was back at Montreal, Canada.
Again the young child confronted his skeptical father and declared the Truth he had just witnessed. Unknown to his father the fruits of past karma and lives lived in righteousness had ripened. It was the first sign that moksa (liberation) was inevitable.
From that day on the child held his father spellbound with wondrous wanderings in his Sahasrara, describing in detail and accuracy about the Kingdom of God, His Holy Spirit, and His Messengers who brought forth the great religions of Hinduism, Christianity, Buddhism, Islam and Sikhism — all living together in perfect peace and harmony in the Spirit World. The absolute certainty that his son was telling the Truth rudely shook his father and finally broke the spell of Kali Yuga (Age of Darkness).
For a period lasting exactly 21 full moons the Great Adi Shakti took Kash across the Celestial World, and introduced him to the greatest Incarnations who ever walked the Earth. The Spirit of the Living God revealed to him the whole, entire splendour of the Kingdom of God for those able to attain eternal life.
The absolute surety that such astonishing spiritual facts were being extracted by a spiritual breakthrough enthralled his father. How else was his young son able to tell him about something absolutely unknown to his tender mind? He had never heard of any human explaining such penetrating insights into the Kingdom of the Almighty Creator. Above all was this question: How was it possible for any member of this non-practicing, secular Sikh family know anything remotely religious? That Kash was only 13-years-old only made that initial witnessing of the Light, and next, the Devi, virtually impossible. His father knew next to nothing of these two religious facts that only practising Hindus would be familiar with. There was no way his son could either.
But that was just the beginning of far more extraordinary revelations (that eventually not only provoked disbelief in the Sahaja Yoga organization but led to the official conclusion that this child was possessed! The family was shunned. Eventually they left the organization early 2000 when there was an uproar among the rank and file against the setting up of this website on the eve of the new millennium. Only Shri Mataji, who had repeatedly endorsed the revelations over the years, stopped them from closing it down.)
As the father listened in reverence to these daily spiritual journeys, the awesome fact that the Almighty Creator really existed could not be doubted anymore. He knew there was only one purpose left in life — surrender! Total surrender to a Higher Being! He realized it was time to return to the Kingdom of God, and began preparing for the spiritual trek ahead. His mind, body, and soul had to be purified and cleansed of all earthly defects. Unknown to him, the greatest adventure of all, far surpassing anything known to the human race, was just beginning.
For the first time in his life he realized the magnitude of his spiritual ignorance and the sensual gratification he had become addicted to. He retched from the first faint stench that wafted from the grimy gutter of his earthly existence, and was nauseated by the strength of sin. In the ensuing months his body occasionally shuddered involuntarily as images of his perverted past flashed by every now and then. These spasms were the only way he could snap out of the recollection of his decadent decades, and shake off the lingering drowsiness of a long spiritual hibernation.
On December 25, 1993 he stopped drinking—a habit he had acquired in 1966 at the age of 15—and ceased being an alcoholic. He had his last Scotch on Christmas. For some reason, just like the abrupt end of his smoking habit, he could no longer consume any alcohol.
This witnessing the Cosmic Play of the Great Primordial Mother has no parallel in history. She had descended on this Earth for the very first time during its darkest hour of Kali Yuga, in time to awaken the human race to the first faint Light of the Resurrection and Last Judgment.
This is the true story of those who have experienced transcendental reality with the Primordial Mother through the Third Eye and who have come back to tell their fellow human beings about the other shore, and to help them get there.
As the renowned historian Mircea Eliade has observed: "I do not believe that certain primordial revelations could disappear ... But what I am sure of is that the future forms of religious expression will be completely different from the fossilized, obsolete and meaningless forms that we meet in Christianity, Judaism, Islamism. I'm sure that there will be other expressions to come."
Humanity is assured that we have entered into the blessed Golden Age of the Last Judgment and Resurrection where we learn the deepest secrets of our souls' journey to the Spirit World.
NOTE: What was in the beginning perceived as a 'hindu' goddess over time underwent a metamorphosis into the Divine Mother of all religions—"Holy Spirit/Spirit-Paraclete" (Christians), "Ruh Allah" (Muslims), "Shekinah/Ruach Elohim" (Jews), "Prajnaparamita/Tara" (Buddhists), "Aykaa Mayee" (Sikhs), "Tao/Wu Chi" (Taoists), "Adi Shakti/Devi" (Hindus). However, it is with the Paraclete (and Jesus) that the Divine Mother most prominently identifies and aligns with.
The Mighty Messenger
Kash's father had on September 28, 1993, heard a loud, thunderous voice directing him with these words, "JOIN SHRI MATAJI!" This profound spiritual Message was so commanding that he even wrote it down on a calling card. Though hopelessly drunk he did not want to ever forget it, so powerful was that Divine Voice.
Despite this precaution the Message was completely forgotten the next day as the calling card was inserted into the photograph/card compartment of his wallet. For nearly a year there was not even the slightest memory of that blessed night. Such blackouts of memory occurred whenever Kash's father consumed an excessive amount of liquor, over and above his 'normal' limits. (Normal here means between 8-10 beers. Excessive should be understood as a case of 24.)
On September 5, 1994, while spring-cleaning his wallet he came across this particular calling card with that peculiar note, "JOIN SHRI MATAJI!" He recognized that it was his handwriting. For a few seconds he remained puzzled, unable to understand this strange note. Why should he write such a short, strange statement in the first place? How did it come into his purse? And when did all this happen? For a minute or two there was no answer.
Then suddenly his mind reeled as the magnitude of the Revelation hit him like a tsunami: That was the night he was completely drunk! That was the night he heard the Mighty Voice! That was the night he stumbled and struggled to jot the Message down! That was the night that he did not want to forget! That was the night he never remembered.
Then his mind, that impish little ego, began its dance of doubt: Maybe you were really drunk. Maybe you really heard voices. Maybe it was your imagination. Who would actually say these words, "Join Shri Mataji"? Why, in the first place, convey a message when one is dead drunk? There had to be a mistake. It could not be possible true. It made no sense.
The more the mind rationalized the more agitated it became. Soon the placid waters of the mind became turbulent. Not only the ego questioned but it also answered the very questions that it pretended not to know. The thoughtless state became increasing agitated, even as it tried to bring calm to chaos. It failed and the mind began to be confused and bewildered by its own question-answer-counter-question-counter-answer state. No matter how much it tried to rationalize it failed to arrive at a conclusion; there was always another fact or speculaton to contradict the last answer. Kash, the only person with the Darshana to extract Truth from within himself, was still in school.
Waiting became torturous as the father paced the floor and tossed around in bed. He had to have the Truth of that fateful night that triggered his awesome journey to seek the Divine World of Reality (Lahut). The Manna Monsoon was still lashing around in all its fury, rattling the shuttered windows of his mundane mind, occasionally ripping off a plank or two. It would only be a matter of time before all traces of past ignorance be completely washed away by the Divine Flood of Collective Consciousness.
But at this stage this furious Celestial Thundershower was far from abating, and right now he had to know what happened on September 28, 1993. Who was the Caller that directed him to join Shri Mataji?
After what seemed like ages Kash returned from school. Immediately the father explained the entire episode and told him to right away ask the Great Adi Shakti whether this voice was real or just a figment of his imagination.
Kash went directly into the meditation room and sat in Sahaj Samadhi, and reached the Land of Eternal Light. The Everlasting Light shone ever so brightly and brilliantly above the Eternal Throne as Shri Mahaganesha-nirbhinna-vighna-yantra-praharsita Shri Nirmala Devi sat in Bliss and Joy. He bowed down to the Great Adi Shakti and asked Her about the call that his father had heard commanding him to join Her.
Shri Srutih Shri Nirmala Devi smiled and replied that it was true that his father had heard that Voice, which was that of Shri Ganesha! God Almighty had sent His reply through Shri Gauriputraya, the Son of the Great Divine Mother, to remove the veil of ignorance and direct him to the Supreme Source of spiritual enlightenment. The particular Shri Mataji whom Shri Ganesha had meant on September 28, 1993, and subsequently identified by Kash after getting his Self-Realization later in November 1993, was none other than His Divine Mother, the Great Adi Shakti Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.
His father was stunned speechless. All the wealth of this Earth would never equal this priceless Absolute Truth that it was Shri Ganesha, the Remover of All Obstacles, who had spoken the Divine Words, "JOIN SHRI MATAJI!" The Eternal Child had commanded the seeker who had cried out for the Truth of God Almighty to join His Mother, the Great Primordial Mother who had incarnated on Earth as Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.
