Mataji's programmes of Kundalini awakening in Delhi. She has been visiting different places in India since December, Thousands of people attended the programmes and got realisation at Her lotus feet. They are really lucky to get it without any efforts from their side, as, for ancient seekers Kundalini awakening and rising was the only achieve- ment of their lives for which they left all mundane affairs and lived at secluded spots. Centuries ago Gyaneshwara said 'अवधाचि संसार मुखाचा करीन' (I will make the whole world happy). H. H. Mataji's granting mass-realisation is the dream coming true for all great saints who wanted common man to be emancipated and evolved. It is said in Kaliyuga, God is having more compassion on man and is responding lo sincere prayers of Seekers: Indeed it is true. Divine Mother is going from place to place HILI inviting Seekers to have realisation and know the self. In the days when Adharma is overshadowing Dharma H. H.

They should also awaken Kundalinis of others and bring more and more people to Shahaja Yoga. It is their Guru Dakshina (an offering to their Guru) to H. H. Mataji. We congratulate our Australian brother Sahaja Yogis, particularly Dr. Warren and Mr. Terence who met H. H. Mataji only last year in India and on returning gave realisation to large number of people, of course, with the blessings of Divine Mother. This year, we were glad to have amongst us about 35 Australian Sahaja Yogis who came to India to meet the Mother for the first time Their faith and devotion to the Mother are exemplary.

It is repla- ced by a state of consciousness pervaded by "The last will be first and the first last" purity, sweetness and a more authentic and (Mat 20.16) profound understanding of a new Reality which is delivered from the constraints of and also "For everyone who exalls him- the "ego". This "state" sends forth the self will be humbled, and he who humbled vibrations of love of Mataji, and one surren- (Luke 14.11) ders oneself to its support and its guidance. It will also act on our brain when it is time himself will be exalted". Seen in the context of Sahaja Yoga this means that those who, accerding to their in Sahaja Yoga, which will in effect be esta- own "ego", are the first are, in fact, outside blished by deepening this stage through an the Kingdom of Heaven, in which there is no place for the "ego", while those who are Vibrations in order to send Them forth, and humble and wiling to receive the Divine through the development of our Selves by Grace (the Vibrations) shall have a place in bur communion with the Collective Self the Kingdom; they shall be the first. to engage in action. That is our "position" evergreater capacity to absorb Mataji's made up by the other Sahaja Yogis. We know that there are "categories" if not an hierarchy in Sahaja Yoga. What does this mean ? These categories or hierarchy can certainly not be appreciated by our minds. In other words, the "first" will not necessarily be those who first joined Sahaja Yoga, nor those who think" that they have "done" a lot for Sahaja Yoga, nor those who "consider" themselves to be better Sahaja Yogis than others because they have no problems. All these attitudes are generated by a very subtle and even pernicious "ego". No, our position in Sahaja Yoga depends on a completely different type of principle; that of our thoughtless awareness when, by the Grace of the Holy Spirit, the Heart, the Self, is truly awakened.

Nirmala Yoga 12 Letters Zuerich, 10th February My dear sisters and brothers, Back to Europe, back to the eold, the snow and the wind. But it is impossible for us to forget your evershining sun, your unforgetable sunsets, the light and the bright- ness of your country. Colourful countrysides, unspoiled villages, the freshness of your atmosphere and the daily life of all the people we have met have invited us to peace and deeper meditation. And the Sahaja Yogis we have seen have led us to discover the Inner joy of the inhabitants of your blessed country. We know that we have got, in the West a bad habit to thank for everything. So we don't let speak our mind but our hearts. We would try, through this tetter, to express on behalf of all the western Sahaja Yogis that you have earned so much our gratitude for the way you have welcomed us in your great country, for the way you have given us so much love, joy and brotherhood. You, all of you, have been so sweet with us that really we could see how our beloved Mother acted through your smiles, attitudes and generosity, Our heart is filled with thankfulness and admiration. Your devotion to our Mother has been a perfect example of surrender and love. And we have felt the reflection of your devotion on your own behaviour, how wise you are, how confident you are, how you begin to master the intensity of the present ! Here in the west we see the future, we foresee, we plan and our speedometer goes mad. We don't have time to realize the beauty of the present and it is only through the present that we can enjoy our Mother's creation. We have seen you for the first time, and very soon we felt that you have resided in our hearts for ages and ages and in the first acquaintance we have recognized you as our our brothers and sisters, out of joy and eager to share it with all of us. We had just to receive and let us be pushed by this dynamics of affection. Our greatest experience is that we have seen for the first time intermediates between our Beloved Mother and us. Through your awareness you understand much more and you discover much more easily the Divine Beauty of The Adi Shakti, because you feel much more and you absorb through your acting spirit and not through a tired mind. At the same time your ego is deflated and your humility greater. Thanks to your behaviour we see Mother higher and higher, more divine and more powerful, because we see how you behave with Her with full attention, respect, devotion and adoration. You speak to Her when She speaks to you and you would never begin to speak at once, or interupt Her. You respect the protocol. Nirmala Yoga 13 May we follow your straightforwardness and your enthusiasm in order to glorify the One who is worthy of being seen and understood only by our spirit. It was a great time where the West and the East dissolved in our Mother's love, when we discovered our own beauty enlightened by God and learned how to respect each other and how to show affection to each other. This feeling of togetherness and communicative love, bestowed by our beloved Mother is our goal and achievment. It is through this circulation of love and joy among us that the collective being manifests more and more, that Mother's divinity penetrates into us deeper and deeper. We all pray the Creator of this Universe and we make altogether this absolute promise that we shall see only the beauty which is sparkling in us, we shall love each other with more intensity remembering how much our Mother loves us, we shall share among us the feeling of belonging to the children of God. Let us put ourselves under Mother's protection, let us meet again and again under the intensity of Mother's presence and let us glorify Her all together all the time because It is only through Her Grace that we were able, my dear brothers and sisters, to discover your own beauty and the sparkling of your joyful spirit. Much much love and Jai Mataji Arneau, Maria-Amelia, Marie-Laure, Gregoire, Catherine, Christine Brothers and Sisters of India With open arms and open hearts you welcomed us from the west. With Mother's love and grace we have been invited and your giving of love has showed us much more about the beauty of life. The past weeks have been filled with many experiences. From the mass realization in Kadus to the making of a film 24 storeys up in Bombay. You have given us so much from your beautiful hearts and taught us the love, missing from our society. Thank you for it all and thank you dear Mother for making it possible. Jai Mataji Phillip.

We will be returning home with such respect and love for Mother India and her people. For most of us it was our first meeting with our Mother and what a perfect backdrop India has been for this great occasion ! We thank Mataji, our Mother with all our hearts for the joy and learning of the past two months and we thank you too for your great generosity, and for all that you have done to make us so welcomed and so at home.

It confines many of the following details to my address itself to the external world and to 'objective given below ? phenomena'. It is interesting for us to see that philosophers of science themselves have realized that there is no such thing as an objective fact. So Sahaja Yoga presents a dilemma; the experience of realisation and the perception of Chaitanya is subjective and yet it is something of such importance that science cannot afford to ignore it. 1. Name of patient 2, Address of the patient 3. Occupation of the patient 4. Age of the patient 5. Name and address of patient's doctor and details of any hospitals visited (I.e. doctor in-charge of admission, dates of admission and any known record or bureau number) Perhaps, if no way is found to solve this dilemma, science will become an irrelevance as, the drama of these last days is played out. At the same time, science plays a very in Western important role-especially society. It is by appeals to Science, rather than to Religion, that actions and ideas are justified. So, if science can be brought up to the level of Sahaja Yoga, then we, who are realized scientists, should try to do it. 6. The patients symptoms 7. The doctor's diagnosis 8. The doctor's advice and treatment 9. The details of any Sahaja treatment Although the scientist can not measure or even objectively detect the vibrations of the Holy Spirit, all the Sahaj Yogis know that these vibrations, although subtle, do affect 10. The patient's progress 11. A photograph of the patient and any other information that seems relevant: the physical, body. Perhaps medical science will be able to measure this healing that Sahaj Yoga produces as a by-product, and so begin to solve the dilemma, David Spiro 17 Crescent Court, Park HiAI, Clapham, London SW4 8HR England.

Mataji's programmes of Kundalini awakening in Delhi. She has been visiting different places in India since December, Thousands of people attended the programmes and got realisation at Her lotus feet. They are really lucky to get it without any efforts from their side, as, for ancient seekers Kundalini awakening and rising was the only achieve- ment of their lives for which they left all mundane affairs and lived at secluded spots. Centuries ago Gyaneshwara said 'अवधाचि संसार मुखाचा करीन' (I will make the whole world happy). H. H. Mataji's granting mass-realisation is the dream coming true for all great saints who wanted common man to be emancipated and evolved. It is said in Kaliyuga, God is having more compassion on man and is responding lo sincere prayers of Seekers: Indeed it is true.

They should also awaken Kundalinis of others and bring more and more people to Shahaja Yoga. It is their Guru Dakshina (an offering to their Guru) to H. H. Mataji. We congratulate our Australian brother Sahaja Yogis, particularly Dr. Warren and Mr. Terence who met H. H. Mataji only last year in India and on returning gave realisation to large number of people, of course, with the blessings of Divine Mother. This year, we were glad to have amongst us about 35 Australian Sahaja Yogis who came to India to meet the Mother for the first time Their faith and devotion to the Mother are exemplary.

All these attitudes are generated by a very subtle and even pernicious "ego". No, our position in Sahaja Yoga depends on a completely different type of principle; that of our thoughtless awareness when, by the Grace of the Holy Spirit, the Heart, the Self, is truly awakened.

But it is impossible for us to forget your evershining sun, your unforgetable sunsets, the light and the bright- ness of your country. Colourful countrysides, unspoiled villages, the freshness of your atmosphere and the daily life of all the people we have met have invited us to peace and deeper meditation. And the Sahaja Yogis we have seen have led us to discover the Inner joy of the inhabitants of your blessed country. We know that we have got, in the West a bad habit to thank for everything. So we don't let speak our mind but our hearts. We would try, through this tetter, to express on behalf of all the western Sahaja Yogis that you have earned so much our gratitude for the way you have welcomed us in your great country, for the way you have given us so much love, joy and brotherhood. You, all of you, have been so sweet with us that really we could see how our beloved Mother acted through your smiles, attitudes and generosity, Our heart is filled with thankfulness and admiration. Your devotion to our Mother has been a perfect example of surrender and love. And we have felt the reflection of your devotion on your own behaviour, how wise you are, how confident you are, how you begin to master the intensity of the present ! Here in the west we see the future, we foresee, we plan and our speedometer goes mad. We don't have time to realize the beauty of the present and it is only through the present that we can enjoy our Mother's creation. We have seen you for the first time, and very soon we felt that you have resided in our hearts for ages and ages and in the first acquaintance we have recognized you as our our brothers and sisters, out of joy and eager to share it with all of us. We had just to receive and let us be pushed by this dynamics of affection. Our greatest experience is that we have seen for the first time intermediates between our Beloved Mother and us. Through your awareness you understand much more and you discover much more easily the Divine Beauty of The Adi Shakti, because you feel much more and you absorb through your acting spirit and not through a tired mind. At the same time your ego is deflated and your humility greater. Thanks to your behaviour we see Mother higher and higher, more divine and more powerful, because we see how you behave with Her with full attention, respect, devotion and adoration. You speak to Her when She speaks to you and you would never begin to speak at once, or interupt Her. You respect the protocol. Nirmala Yoga 13 1981_Nirmala_Yoga_E_(Scan)_II.pdf-page-15.txt May we follow your straightforwardness and your enthusiasm in order to glorify the One who is worthy of being seen and understood only by our spirit. It was a great time where the West and the East dissolved in our Mother's love, when we discovered our own beauty enlightened by God and learned how to respect each other and how to show affection to each other. This feeling of togetherness and communicative love, bestowed by our beloved Mother is our goal and achievment. It is through this circulation of love and joy among us that the collective being manifests more and more, that Mother's divinity penetrates into us deeper and deeper. We all pray the Creator of this Universe and we make altogether this absolute promise that we shall see only the beauty which is sparkling in us, we shall love each other with more intensity remembering how much our Mother loves us, we shall share among us the feeling of belonging to the children of God. Let us put ourselves under Mother's protection, let us meet again and again under the intensity of Mother's presence and let us glorify Her all together all the time because It is only through Her Grace that we were able, my dear brothers and sisters, to discover your own beauty and the sparkling of your joyful spirit. Much much love and Jai Mataji Arneau, Maria-Amelia, Marie-Laure, Gregoire, Catherine, Christine Brothers and Sisters of India With open arms and open hearts you welcomed us from the west. With Mother's love and grace we have been invited and your giving of love has showed us much more about the beauty of life. The past weeks have been filled with many experiences. From the mass realization in Kadus to the making of a film 24 storeys up in Bombay. You have given us so much from your beautiful hearts and taught us the love, missing from our society. Thank you for it all and thank you dear Mother for making it possible. Jai Mataji Phillip.

We will be returning home with such respect and love for Mother India and her people. For most of us it was our first meeting with our Mother and what a perfect backdrop India has been for this great occasion !

It confines many of the following details to my address itself to the external world and to 'objective given below ? phenomena'. It is interesting for us to see that philosophers of science themselves have realized that there is no such thing as an objective fact. So Sahaja Yoga presents a dilemma; the experience of realisation and the perception of Chaitanya is subjective and yet it is something of such importance that science cannot afford to ignore it. 1. Name of patient 2, Address of the patient 3. Occupation of the patient 4. Age of the patient 5. Name and address of patient's doctor and details of any hospitals visited (I.e. doctor in-charge of admission, dates of admission and any known record or bureau number) Perhaps, if no way is found to solve this dilemma, science will become an irrelevance as, the drama of these last days is played out. At the same time, science plays a very in Western important role-especially society. It is by appeals to Science, rather than to Religion, that actions and ideas are justified. So, if science can be brought up to the level of Sahaja Yoga, then we, who are realized scientists, should try to do it. 6. The patients symptoms 7. The doctor's diagnosis 8.
