"Sahaja
Yoga unites the essence of all religions.”
|
|
|
|
"Sahaja
Yoga is different from the other Yogas because it
begins with Self realisation instead of this being the
unobtainable dream of a distant goal."
|
|
|
|
"Innately,
within us, resides the Spirit which wants to enlighten
you, to give peace, the bliss and the joy of our
being."
|
|
|
|
"You
are yourself and you must see yourself as your Self,
as your Spirit. And Spirit is a Universal Being, is
the innocence, is the virgin within you. This body is
a palace and it is the House of God. within it God
kept the Infinite Flame."
|
|
|
|
"The
greatest friend you have is the Divine Power which is
looking after you and doing everything for you."
|
|
|
|
"It
is God who rules, it is He who does, it is He who has
created everything and it is He who enjoys everything."
|
|
|
|
"Atma
is the reflection of Paramatma in our heart. This
reflection is like the sun in water. Although
reflection of the sun is in the water, he is away in
the sky and not in the water. Similarly, Atma is as
much as it is seen, it is beyond all that and not
limited by it."
|
|
|
|
"The
Atma (Spirit) resides inside this heart and
after Sahaja Yoga its light
spreads
within us in seven layers."
|
|
|
|
"You
cannot know the meaning of your life until you are
connected to the power that created you."
|
|
|
|
"Worry
about yourself and see the good points of others.”
|
|
|
|
"The
representatives of Sadashiva and Adi Shakti in us are
the Atma and the Kundalini."
|
|
|
|
"Meditation,
where you are connected to the All- pervading
Divinity, is the starting point in Sahaja Yoga."
|
|
|
|
"When
you try to seek the Knowledge you have to become the
Knowledge. The light of Love is so sweet, so
beautiful, so enamoring, so abounding. You can feel
that Light within you which is of pure love, pure
relationship and pure understanding."
|
|
|
|
"Kundalini
is our Mother, we are Her only children and She has
been with us through all our lives just waiting for
the moment of fulfilment."
|
|
|
|
"It
is the Divine love and grace of God which has made you
a human being and it is His grace which is going to
make you a supreme human being in Sahaja Yoga."
|
|
|
|
"Some
are rich, some are poor, these are transitory things.
Look into the heart within and enjoy that Love. With
that Love you elevate and once more rise to greatness."
|
|
|
|
"We
do not know our potential, our beauty, but once this
connection with the mains is established you will be
surprised at the results and the dynamism. Through our
love we can absorb the defects of others and cleanse
them. This is the power of Love. So far we have never
used the power of Love."
|
|
|
|
"You
cannot make your Kundalini pulsate with your mind. The
Divine, if it has to do something, it must be
extra-ordinary which human beings cannot do. To
pulsate Kundalini is only possible for the Divine. It
is a living force."
|
|
|
|
"A
spiritual person is just innocent, just
innocent. Whatever he talks or says comes through
innocence. It just says what it knows and what it
knows is the highest."
|
|
|
|
"God
is infinite. You don't have to count His aspects. You
want to enjoy Him.
The
wise simply eat the fruit, they do not count the
leaves, roots and
branches."
|
|
|
|
"It
is very important to understand that without
transformation you have no meaning. Whatever you are,
do not identify yourselves with that, but whatever you
want to be, try to be that."
|
|
|
|
"Spirit
is the
only
thing that is at the center, and at the periphery if
you look at things,
they
look as if they are separate and different. But if you
can approach
somehow
into that state where your Spirit resides, you will be
amazed to see
that
everything integrates, everything coordinates, and
there is no difference.
Say,
in Mohammed Sahib, Dattatreya, Raja Janaka or Shirdi
Sai Nath
— there is
no
difference in their principle if you can just get
your Spirit."
|
|
|
|
"Until
you are able to understand the meaning of the
"Self", the physical body would remain
imperfect and would be unable to verify the Truth. But
once the physical instrument is connected with Truth,
you are able to verify the Truth."
|
|
|
|
"When
you become one with the Spirit all your problems will
be solved. A realized person never talks in first
person. He becomes separate from himself,
leaving aside his desires, his materialistic ideas."
|
|
|
|
"Meditation
is nothing but the state of remaining in the constant
company of the every-loving Bhagawati."
[Bhagawati
is the Primordial Mother — Adi
Shakti, Holy Spirit or Ruh of Allah]
|
|
|
|
"Sahaja
Yoga is different from the other Yogas because it
begins with Self realization instead of this being the
unobtainable dream of a distant goal."
|
|
|
|
"The
essence of all religions is to find the eternal."
|
|
|
|
"In
Sahaja Yoga, you have to understand one simple thing,
that you are the Spirit and whatever is
not the Spirit is not yourself."
|
|
|
|
"God
has created man with his Shakti and man has to know
Him, and recognize Him through Kundalini Awakening. Blossom Time has come and many ancient
seekers are today getting their Self-Realization."
|
|
|
|
"The
object of Sahaja Yoga is basically to become and
experience
the spiritual Self.“
|
|
|
|
"It's
the culture of God, we are talking about, it's the
culture of His kingdom where we give to others,
enjoying, giving, doing for others, loving others,
caring for others without any return."
|
|
|
|
"The
only thing where you can really hide yourself is the
love of God; where you can really get the great
restful, blissful feeling of His complete protection."
|
|
|
|
"If
in one lifetime you can achieve Self-Realization and
you reach the point
of
having begun to lose your habits, then in that very
lifetime, it is
possible
for you to acquire that so called State. An
established Sahaja Yogi
is
the one who becomes completely one with God and wins
Him over."
|
|
|
|
"This
is the Last Judgment. Remember, God will not bow
before you. You have to accomplish Him in your own
freedom. If you have not achieved Him it is not His
fault nor is it of Sahaja Yoga."
|
|
|
|
|
"In
these modern times, our daily life is often a source
of stress and dissatisfaction. We feel driven to try
out new solutions, looking for something that will
allow us not only to overcome our problems and those
of others, but will also help us to understand the
meaning of existence itself.
Sahaja Yoga is a unique happening which, using a new
awareness and a few simple techniques, offers us the
possibility of facing up to life in a different way,
not only because it eradicates fears and tensions and
resolves difficulties, but above all because it opens
a new stage in our path of evolution. It is an
adventurous journey in the discovery of the wider,
deeper more rewarding dimensions of human awareness
and is thus intended particularly for all those who
are seeking their own inner Self and a new kind of
future within a balanced, peaceful society.
Every human being can arrive at this natural state of
new awareness and inner balance and quickly become his
own master. Sahaja Yoga is not an organization, a club
or a spiritual congregation - it is a state of being
and a real spontaneous experience. Self-Realization
and all the teachings of Sahaja Yoga are free of
charge."

"SAHAJA
YOGA is a true, gentle and dynamic meditation, founded
on the principle that the path to achieving peace and
harmony in the world begins with each individual
establishing a higher sense of awareness and subtle
self-knowledge. It works by balancing the energy of
the body on a subtle level and connecting the
individual with the universal living consciousness - a
process known as SELF REALISATION. It is found that
with a regular practice of this Yoga, there is a
general improvement in one's physical, mental,
emotional and spiritual well being. SAHAJA YOGA
INTERNATIONAL is a registered charity and accepts no
money for its programmes which are given completely
free of charge. As a result, classes today are
organised and staffed purely by volunteers who are
moved by the positive changes in their own lives to
pass the gift on to others. These individuals come
from all walks of life and occupations.
About the Founder of Sahaja Yoga
True Yoga (meaning "Union") is an ancient
knowledge, which was previously only given to a few
persons. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi was born in this
state of awareness, and even as a little girl advised
Mahatma Gandhi on spiritual matters of meditation
whilst staying at his Ashram. In 1970 Shri Mataji
began a worldwide campaign to pass on this knowledge.
Through her loving compassion, Shri Mataji wished to
alleviate human suffering and devised this system of
meditation, which would give its practitioners peace,
security and spiritual development. She is a doctor of
medicine and psychology, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee
and PhD in Cognitive Science. Shri Mataji herself sums
up the philosophy of Sahaja Yoga. "It is
important for everyone to have that knowledge of the
roots within themselves, within society and within
human beings as a whole. Sahaja Yoga allows the
individual to become their own guide.”

"Shri
Mataji was born into a Christian family at midday at
the Spring Equinox, March 21st, 1923, in the
geographical center of India near Nagpur in the state
of Maharashtra. Her father was a barrister and
scholar, who spoke many languages and was a member of
India's first parliament. With his wife, an eminent
mathematician, he met and worked with Mahatma Gandhi
in the peaceful struggle against the British Imperial
Rule for India's independence.
Shri Mataji was born, already in possession of the
highest spiritual powers, and, even as a young girl,
had realized the vital importance for the future of
mankind of finding a means of offering the privileged
state of Self-Realization to all human beings. The
highest spiritual awareness should be part and parcel
of a normal life and not just the privileged
prerogative of "yogis" and
"ascetics". By the early 1970's, through Her
own efforts and experiences, She had evolved Sahaja
Yoga whereby the subtle energy residing in each of us
(the Kundalini) could be spontaneously awakened
"en masse". It is through this process that
a natural state of meditation is entered into and the
emotional, physical and mental aspects of our being
are brought into balance under the guidance of the
highest spiritual Principle.
Shri Mataji is tirelessly devoted to imparting this
timely discovery as widely as possible. She spends
most of the year traveling throughout the world and
has delivered thousands of lectures describing Sahaja
Yoga and giving the experience of Self-Realization,
for which She accepts no payment. Rather than a
teacher or a Guru, Shri Mataji is best likened to a
mother. Her compassion and patience are equaled by Her
stamina and Her desire, that through Sahaja Yoga all
may experience the awaiting peace and joy of
Self-Realization. She is regarded by hundreds of
thousands as the world's greatest living saint."

"Sahaja
Yoga improves health
In Sahaja Yoga Meditation we are completely relaxed
and the mind is silent. We experience a state of deep
and profound peace. Our physical, intellectual,
emotional, spiritual, and psychological selves are all
nourished and fulfilled.
In such a state of deep relaxation, stress-related physical
problems are improved or eradicated. Deep,
refreshing sleep is possible and a lot of energy and
enthusiasm is released.
At the International Sahaja Yoga Health Centre in
Bombay, many psychosomatic diseases have been
successfully treated, a byproduct of removing stress
and achieving inner balance."

"Sahaja
Yoga is Pure Love
within each of us exists the potential to feel the
peace and joy children have when they feel truly loved
and protected.
Our hearts are opened through the practice of Sahaja
Yoga meditation. We become empowered to transform
ourselves. Our capacity for love and compassion
increases. We learn how to express our love in a pure
and nurturing way, without fear.
Sahaja Yoga demonstrates that the power of love is
stronger than hate, fear, bigotry or fanaticism.
The highest expression of pure compassion and love is
seen in the life of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi the
founder of Sahaja Yoga."

"Sahaja
Yoga is Pure Knowledge
In addition to our nerves and sensory organs, there
also exists a subtle system of energy centres within
us. When all the energy centres are nourished, using
the simple techniques of Sahaja Yoga, we become
connected to everything around us. This connection is
known as self realisation. It happens without effort
or thought.
The meditative state achieved in Sahaja Yoga is
profound, because we are able to verify the state of
our energy centres by what we feel on our fingertips.
Through Sahaja Yoga we can directly feel reality. We
can experience pure knowledge. We are no longer
dependent on dogmas and conditionings imposed from
outside. We become the master of ourselves."

"The
tradition of meditation dates back to the beginning of
human history. Thousands of years ago, Patanjali, an
Indian Sage of legend, described the process by which
the capacity to meditate is actualised. He called it
"Self Realisation" since, in the state of
meditation, he experienced an absolute awareness of
his "Self".
The mechanism by which "Self Realisation" occurred
was a closely kept secret that was handed down
from a Guru to his disciple after long penances,
discipline and purification.
In the 14 th century the great saint Gyaneshwara of
Central India took permission from his Guru to
translate the secret texts written in Sanskrit into
the popular vernacular. Thus the tradition of mysticism
and meditation began within the populace in India.
Gyaneshwara told of a subtle system and a subtle
energy that resides in every person, regardless of
caste or creed, which must be awakened for them to
attain true inner peace, Self knowledge, Moksha or
Nirvana.
This subtle system consists of seven energy centres
(called "Chakras") and three energy channels
that pass through each of the chakras. True meditation
occurs by awakening the subtle dormant and Sacred
energy which is present in the triangular shaped
"Sacrum Bone" at the base of the spine of
every human being. This energy is known as
"Kundalini" meaning "coiled up" in
Sanskrit.
When the Kundalini is awakened it rises through each
of the chakras, pulling them into alignment like beads
on a string, harmonizing their function. Since each of
the chakras governs corresponding aspects of our
physical body's function as well as our psyche, the
alignment of the chakras causes our physical organs to
function harmoniously and our health improves.
Similarly our intellect becomes harmonised with
emotions and a state of mental and physical balance is
achieved.
This balance of mind and body was taught by many great
souls. The Buddha spoke of a balanced lifestyle and
behaviour which he called " the middle path
". Lao Tse spoke of a balance that was dynamic,
which changed with demands placed upon it, but was
always a source of stability and balance. he called it
" Tao ". Jesus Christ taught that through
forgiving others and by being forgiven we could
experience inner peace and spiritual ascent. These
qualities start to emerge automatically when the
Kundalini activates the subtle system.
Clearly in our, fast-paced, demanding lifestyle we can
clearly see the need for balancing ourselves and our
society and the world at large. External problems
cannot be solved till such time we have problems
within us. Hence the purpose of Sahaja Yoga- to make
available to anyone who seeks it, the ability to
balance themselves and the capacity to experience the
true "Self".
The entire process of awakening The Mother energy
Kundalini and achievement of Self Realisation is an
extremely simple process (like all living activities
eg breathing) and easy to achieve.
As we practice and become more balanced, we find that
instead of being controlled and dominated by our
thoughts, we are master of them. Similarly we become
masters of our emotions rather than their victim. Most
significantly we are able to experience, during
meditation, our true nature which is neither the mind,
the ego, emotions nor body, but the silent and
peaceful joy of the self- the "Atman" or
"Spirit"."

"Sahaja
Yoga is a form of meditation by means of which you can
awaken the divine power (known as the residual energy
in medical terms) in you, which is otherwise latent in
you without your knowledge. Meditation is the state of
thoughtless awareness, where the activity of the mind
ceases, yet one remains detached and becomes a witness
to events occurring in his/her day to day activities.
Human beings cannot achieve harmony with the earth, or
nature, or each other unless and until they establish
peace within themselves. This can be done only when
one awakens this otherwise dormant force known as
kundalini thereby attaining self realization or self
actualization... .
Self-Realization is the process of awakening the
"Kundalini", the universal spiritual energy
which is residing within you. The Kundalini is like
your spiritual mother who is there to nurture you but
is only waiting to be awakened. It is this holy power
which when awakened can help you establish peace
within yourself and help you get connected to the
divine. With Sahaja Yoga this experience is available
to everyone, is simple and no cost involved. Yoga
means the union;
union with god. Yoga is the connection of the inner
subtle body system with the greater all-pervading
power.
Sahaja means spontaneous and it means "born
within you". Hence, Sahaja Yoga means the
spontaneous union with the divine through something
born in you. By doing Sahaja Yoga, this spontaneous
union develops, with an awareness of the inner self
and of the subtle body. Sahaja Yoga was established in
1970 by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. It is a true yoga,
based on both ancient and modern wisdom and
experience. She is a mother and grandmother, as well
as the spiritual mother to many Sahaja Yogis all over
the world. She has been giving masse Self-Realisation
using the Sahaja Yoga techniques she developed. Shri
Mataji accepts no money for her time, knowledge or for
the giving of Realisation. She works and travels
tirelessly to bring Sahaja yoga to the seekers of the
world and she is regarded by hundreds and thousands in
more than 80 countries as the world's greatest living
spiritual teacher."
