Oh glorious one drenching the universse with nectar dripping from your lotus feet, you descend from the dizzy heights to your abode and turning yourselfinto serpentine coil sleepin the fine hole of lotus-root-like mooladhar That is how Shri Adi Shankaracharya says, the Kundalini has come to reside in Mooladhar of cosmic being and this would apply equally aptly to individual being. In the sixth chapter of his commentary on the Geeta, Shri Jnaneshwar has beautifully des- cribed the Kundalini as ; She is the cosmic Mother Jagadamba she has protected the Universe from the time when it was just a seed, the receptacle of Param Shiva, the Mother of Pranava. He then explains how Kundalini ascends, enters the Brahmarandhra and removing the veil of 5 elements unites the individual consciousness with Universal consciousness. He also explains that the Yoga of Kundalini is the safest path that leads to God realization and many great saints and seekers have followed it in the past. He has made the following prophesy 1

Note the words, "Yoga becoming Sahaja" According to him, this Yogi has steady mind like the flame of a lamp, in still air. However the prophesy could not come true for another 700 years, as in Kaliyuga, balanced living, avoiding the extremities, is diffi- It became possible only after the advent of Adi Shakti on the cult for a common man. spring equinox. Before that she came as virgin Mary, for opening the Agnya Chakra of Cosmic being. Perhaps, she chose equinox to arrive amongst us again, in order to correct some imbalance at Cosmic level which would facilitate enactment of the final act of the cosmic play. Mahakundalini then further ascended and entered the Sahastrar chakra of Virata, İ.e., Universal being, true to her name Sahastrārām-bujā-roodha (one who resides in Sahastrar lotus). At microcosmic level awakenining and raising of the Kundalini to Sahastrar, has become thereafter, child's play. She is Sudha-sära-bhivarshini (one who showers nectar), whole universe is filled with nectarine vibrations and every seeker can now enjoy its showers from our beloved Mother's lotus feet. May the darkness of evil be dispelled from the Universe. May the pure-desire be awakened and fulfilled in every human being, may the aggregate of God-realised souls, live on the back of the Mother earth, in everlasting oneness with the Primordial Father.

But, for that, one thing is very Important, that you must share. You must share life, every moment of it, every bit of it. If you do With a marriage you become even a better person, or you develop a better per- sonality. Now, why marriage is necessary not khow how to share life it's going to be for Sahaja Yogis ? thing, it is the most normal thing to do. is do We express our love ?-by sharing all to marry. God has given you this desire to be married for some purpose, but this same First and faremost very difficult. When it comes to love, how our joys, all our pains, all our problems.... But in Sahaja Yoga it is a little more, I think desire if you do not use it for the purpose it quite a lot more, much more. Here you have is given, it can become a perversion, it can to share the community, the marriage is not become a nasty thing, it can be very detri- for individuals in Sahaja Yoga, not at all. If mental to your growth; so one should anybody has a feeling a marriage in Sahaj- understand this desire within us to have a yoga is between two people is a wrong thing: it is two communities, It can be two Nations, it can be completely two universes. So it is marriage. Marriage means, wife who is a part and not tobe enjoyed between yourself. If you are parcel of your being, a wite on whom you good husband wife to each other, it is not can depend; she's your mother, she's your sufficient in Sahaja Yoga. That love should sister, she's your child, she's everything: be enjoyed by every one else in the society, you share all your feelings with your wife; in the community. If you cannot do that so it is important that the wife should be then you have not achieved Sahaja-yoga mar- such that she should understand that this Is riage, it is just an ordinary marriage as people have, it's just that. There's nothing special about it. Such marriages should be Now in Sahaja Yoga, as you have seen, able to give chances for very great souls all of you have problems either of the left, to come on this earth. A person who is or of the right. Now when these marriages married in Sahaja Yoga, who are Sahaja will take place, mostly spontaneously it will Yogis, who are sharing their love equally happen, by Nature's Plan itself, that you with the Sahaja Yogis and the society that will marry a person who is a complementary is Sahaja Yoga, then only great people will personality to you. Because supposing you be born. I would say Bohdan has done that, are a left-sided person, and if you have a Bohdan and Mandy, they have done it. It's the need of a marriage

 something surprising, you see they were realised this point there would have been engaged before Sahaja Yoga, they were much less problem, married after realisation, and I don't know how it has clicked in their life that they really share companionship with other they control others, or dominate others or Sahaja Yogis. Whenever he writes to me he always writes about Sahaja Yogis, he'll way. It is heart which really governs every- ask about every one of them, he'll ask thing. Heart rules out everything else, it is about them how are they, what are their heart which has got the power to envelop problems. Unless and until it happens the the brain, to soothe it. Brain is a headache, marriage has no meaning in Sahaja Yoga, you know; it works, works, tike mad. But at all, no meaning. So first test of a Sahaja heart is the one which really covers the body Yogi marriage is how much you have been with its love and can soothe, can give it joy able to share by this marriage other people. Now see it is not the way people think sort of try to suppress them. It is not that and happiness. It is the heart which contains fhe spirit. So heart is a very important Now for example in a normal marriage thing, which is the power of the body, like man is the person who is the head of the ultimately you have to become the Spirit, family, as you say. Now he has to be the which is in the heart. head, the man has to be the head, for cer- tain reasons. There is nothing wrong in With brain you natice, and that's why man becoming the head, it's alright, you man has to become the head, he has to go become the heart. Heart is more important out, he has to work, he has to deal with than the head is. Perhaps we do not realise people, he is an extrovert as you call it; and that, how heart is important; you see even if a woman has to work sometimes, if there's the head falls the heart can go on. We can difficulties and troubles are. But the woman always go on up till the heart is going on, should not feel dominated if the man says but if the heart fails, the head fails too. So "Alright you don't work'. But if he says it you are the heart as a woman and he is the in love ! Now, if the brain starts dominating head of the family. Let him have that feeling the heart too much, what will happen ? that he is the head; it is a feeling, just a Then, there will be dryness. You see, like feeling.

But that doesn't mean that the women should dominate men, it hunches of the wife are correct, then they doesn't mean must understand what your love says. You about making your husband follow you ? see, do it in love. If you do it in love is very it's wrong, I think. There's no need for him once they start understanding that the that.

 Dear Brothers and Sisters of India, Having already been back home for a while, it is hard to tell you in words what was our experience in India. So better to let our hearts speak: You have given us so much, so much in all dimensions. Every day, every minute you were taking so much care of us, organizing, arranging everything so well. You were treating us like "princes" and we do not know how we deserved it. Because you were taking off our shoulders the worries of accommodation, transport and food, you were giving us the grace to put our attention only on the essential : our spirit, our Divine Mother. We have learnt so many things from you : The Power of Love Love is our most powerful weapon; it does not fear anything, it overcomes all the obstacles : levels the mountains of hate and arrogance, fills the ditches of despair and loneliness, softens the corners of lite. When it opens, it lets the flow of joy pour with Love is the key to the heart. abundance and life. Like the stream, it runs through the fields, nourishing the grass, allowing new seeds to take birth and grow. Like the sun, it just emits, emits everywhere without expecting anything back, shining with glory.. And the one who is sensitive will be attracted by this force and will desire to stay in this light. Love is the bond among men which will bring peace on earth. It is the basic structure of our collectivity. You have also shown us what humility was. Without humility how can we reach the Almighty ? What are we so far ? What have wB done to deserve the Grace to have been chosen by the Adi Shakti ? Nothing. She is the Embodiment of all the universes, of all the powers, of all what is breathing and living. So, what can we pretend to ? Better let our baloon of ego deflate and pray with humble heart that She, in Her infinite Compassion, will remove all the clouds of our ignorance. (Contd. on Page 23) 21

These are the Spirit, eternal, pure, loving, joyous, the words of the Goddess and Her Maya innocent which lights up everyone of us. It makes us forget that we can only come is absolute, therefore the spirit is collective. closer to Her Heart when we come closer The channel of this collectivity is love and to the hearts of our brothers and sisters. its foundation is our enlighted awareness.

 Thank You, Mother! Thank You, Mother, for having brought us to sleep on the Kundalini of the world. Thank You, Mother, for having demonstrated by means of vibrations the Oneness of God through various worshipping sites and temples. Thank You, Mother, for having soothed our Nabhis with delicious meals prepared by sahaja loving hands.

 FIRST LIGHT Some are awake though it's still dark They wander round, some bleary eyed As those just roused from millenia long sleep Whilst others sleep on regardless Not even knowing that they slumber. There are those, but few, who have always been awake; Who can do naught but watch wisely from the peaks While on the stage the new actors stumble With the weight of little understood insight In the valleys it is still dark Not the rustle of a leaf or the twitter of a bird- The deep black grey of 6000 year night wreaks its weight on the human spirit as it moans wretchedly beneath the load of insufferable indignity But high on the mountain tops it's already quite light and a distinct glow is seen in the east Here on these few high spots the night is already a bad memory an illusion that evaporates as mist with new day Here you can see everything clearly as crystal in the incomparable brilliance of the dawn Here, how can you lie or deceive Here, it is obvious, plain, even blatant How could fear or corruption survive the glare ! The Angels take positions in crystal glass galleries of muiti-rainbow hue painting the infinite blue backdrop with glittering festoon Up here it will always be daylight But down there it will not much longer be night. -Ray Harris 25

 SAHAJA YOGA SEMINAR 10th October 1981 THE VISH UDDHI AND COLLECTIVITY IN BRIGHTON-1) Introduction by-RAY HARRIS and JASON COPELAND The purpose of a seminar is for Sahaja mas, the rules of living by which we protect Yogis to come together for a couple of days and nourish our spiritual growth, and collectively explore an aspect of Sahaja Yoga, and concentrate on going deeper into the vibration particularly in that aspect.

 Xperience This is a dream that I had, about a year after my initiation in Sahaja Yoga, but I had kept quiet aver it, since I felt that it had some bearing to one of my past life. Here it is ! ***** I saw myself walking in a bamboo forest by the side of a mountain and sud- denly came out of an opening where there were no trees, for about 50 feet, since a black lava had flowed from the mountain top down below, some ages ago; and a natural platform had formed, small in size, where I was standing. I sat a little away facing this platform, in meditation. i was a six footer Sadhu, of brown complexion with tuft of long hair which had thinned up at the top of the head. After a little while, Her Holiness Shri Durga Mata came over seated on a tiger and got down and sat on this platform and the tiger sat at Her feet. Durga Mataji looked at me for some time and said : "Go to Mataji". Ireplied: "I will not go". She again repeated in anger: "I said Go to Mataji". I asserted with pride within me: "1 will Not go". Then Durga Mata lifted up Her sword and struck me on my shoulder and I fell down bleeding in front of the tiger. The tiger atonce started licking the blood and in three licks, the wound completely healed and I got up. Then Durga Mataji pointing up Her finger said : "Now go"; that is, go to Mataji Nirmala Devi. I walked away with ego and pride uppermost within me and as I was entering raised my right hand and shouted: "Durga- the forest, and without look ing back, I Mataji-ki-Jai'". But that loud that I woke up from my dream with a start. I looked at the watch to see what time it was and found it to be exactly 4.00 A.M., time to get up for meditation. "Jai" was so (Contd. from Page 13) every marriage a very pompous thing, a very beautiful thing, but ultimately what I find, two crumpled up people sitting down there, you know, sulking.... Then imagine the children who are going to be born. They will think what, these sulking parents, Oh God save us from these crying babies ! This dream remained lingering in my mind for a very, very long time and felt that it had some significance, a sort of reminder to me, to be always in touch with Sahaja Yoga and be implicitly guid- ed by Mataji's instructions. So don't put all my hopes to a complete shattered stata, by this kind of attitude,... Now if you have any questions, ask them, because I don't know how far to say -S M. Karaka: Bombay 31

 ON BLAKE'S BIRTHDAY On 10th November 1381, birthday of the great William Blake, prophet and poet, a small band of Sahaja Yogis honoured the occasion by attending a recital of Blake's works at the church in Picadilly, St. James's, where he is supposed to have been baptized. Vibrations flowed from the beautiful marble font where the 'baptism' took place and from paintings of Blake's, set up on screens round about us. While most of the readers in the recital alas had little idea of the essence of the words in front of them, there were one or two whose Spirit shone through and whose inspired renderings were great and we Sahaja Yogis thankfully drank the vibrations of those Divine moments. The following verse is taken from Chapter Three of a section of JERUSALEM titled "To the Christians", which was read on Tuesday by Rosemary Leach: England I awake I awake l awake ! Jerusalem thy Sister calls! Why wilt thou sleep the sleep of death And close her from thy ancient walls ? Thy hills and valleys felt her feet Gently upon their bosoms move : Thy gates beheld sweet Zion's ways : Then was a time of joy and love. And now the time returns again : Our souls exult, and London's towers Receive the Lamb of God to dwell In England's green and pleasant bowers. by KATHIE DUGG 32

Universe from the time when it was just a seed, the receptacle of Param Shiva, the
Mother of Pranava. He then explains how Kundalini ascends, enters the Brahmarandhra
and removing the veil of 5 elements unites the individual consciousness with Universal
consciousness. He also explains that the Yoga of Kundalini is the safest path that
leads to God realization and many great saints and seekers have followed it in the past.
He has made the following prophesy

 Dear Brothers and Sisters of India,
Having already been back home for a while, it is hard to tell you in words what
was our experience in India. So better to let our hearts speak:
You have given us so much, so much in all dimensions. Every day, every minute
you were taking so much care of us, organizing, arranging everything so well. You were
treating us like "princes" and we do not know how we deserved it. Because you were
taking off our shoulders the worries of accommodation, transport and food, you were
giving us the grace to put our attention only on the essential : our spirit, our Divine
Mother.
We have learnt so many things from you :
The Power of Love
Love is our most powerful weapon; it does not fear anything, it overcomes all the
obstacles :
levels the mountains of hate and arrogance,
fills the ditches of despair and loneliness,
softens the corners of lite.
When it opens, it lets the flow of joy pour with
Love is the key to the heart.
abundance and life. Like the stream, it runs through the fields, nourishing the grass,
allowing new seeds to take birth and grow.
Like the sun, it just emits, emits everywhere without expecting anything back, shining
with glory..
And the one who is sensitive will be attracted by this force and will desire to stay
in this light.
Love is the bond among men which will bring peace on earth.
It is the basic structure of our collectivity.
You have also shown us what humility was.
Without humility how can we reach the Almighty ?
What are we so far ? What have wB done to deserve the Grace to have been
chosen by the Adi Shakti ? Nothing.
She is the Embodiment of all the universes, of all the powers, of all what is breathing
and living.
So, what can we pretend to ?
Better let our baloon of ego deflate and pray with humble heart that She, in Her
infinite Compassion, will remove all the clouds of our ignorance.

 FIRST LIGHT
Some are awake though it's still dark
They wander round, some bleary eyed
As those just roused from millenia long sleep
Whilst others sleep on regardless
Not even knowing that they slumber.
There are those, but few, who have always been awake;
Who can do naught but watch wisely from the peaks
While on the stage the new actors stumble
With the weight of little understood insight
In the valleys it is still dark
Not the rustle of a leaf or the twitter of a bird-
The deep black grey of 6000 year night
wreaks its weight on the human spirit
as it moans wretchedly beneath the load
of insufferable indignity
But high on the mountain tops it's already quite light
and a distinct glow is seen in the east
Here on these few high spots
the night is already a bad memory
an illusion that evaporates as mist with new day
Here you can see everything clearly as crystal
in the incomparable brilliance of the dawn
Here, how can you lie or deceive
Here, it is obvious, plain, even blatant
How could fear or corruption survive the glare !
The Angels take positions in crystal glass
galleries of muiti-rainbow hue
painting the infinite blue backdrop
with glittering festoon
Up here it will always be daylight
But down there it will not much longer be night.

 Xperience
This is a dream that I had, about a year after my initiation in Sahaja Yoga, but
I had kept quiet aver it, since I felt that it had some bearing to one of my past life.
Here it is !
*****
I saw myself walking in a bamboo forest by the side of a mountain and sud-
denly came out of an opening where there were no trees, for about 50 feet, since a
black lava had flowed from the mountain top down below, some ages ago; and a natural
platform had formed, small in size, where I was standing.
I sat a little away facing this platform, in meditation. i was a six footer
Sadhu, of brown complexion with tuft of long hair which had thinned up at the top of
the head. After a little while, Her Holiness Shri Durga Mata came over seated on a
tiger and got down and sat on this platform and the tiger sat at Her feet. Durga Mataji
looked at me for some time and said : "Go to Mataji". Ireplied: "I will not go". She
again repeated in anger: "I said Go to Mataji". I asserted with pride within me: "1 will
Not go". Then Durga Mata lifted up Her sword and struck me on my shoulder and I
fell down bleeding in front of the tiger. The tiger atonce started licking the blood and
in three licks, the wound completely healed and I got up. Then Durga Mataji pointing
up Her finger said : "Now go"; that is, go to Mataji Nirmala Devi.
I walked away with ego and pride uppermost within me and as I was entering
raised my right hand and shouted: "Durga-
the forest, and without look ing back, I
Mataji-ki-Jai'". But that

start. I looked at the watch to see what
time it was and found it to be exactly 4.00

God save us from these crying babies !
This dream remained lingering
in my mind for a very, very long time and
felt that it had some significance, a sort
of reminder to me, to be always in touch
with Sahaja Yoga and be implicitly guid-
ed by Mataji's instructions.
So don't put all my hopes to a complete

 ON BLAKE'S BIRTHDAY
On 10th November 1381, birthday of the great William Blake, prophet and poet, a
small band of Sahaja Yogis honoured the occasion by attending a recital of Blake's works
at the church in Picadilly, St. James's, where he is supposed to have been baptized.
Vibrations flowed from the beautiful marble font where the 'baptism' took place and
from paintings of Blake's, set up on screens round about us.
While most of the readers in the recital alas had little idea of the essence of the
words in front of them, there were one or two whose Spirit shone through and whose
inspired renderings were great and we Sahaja Yogis thankfully drank the vibrations of
those Divine moments.
The following verse is taken from Chapter Three of a section of JERUSALEM
titled "To the Christians", which was read on Tuesday by Rosemary Leach:
England I awake I awake l awake !
Jerusalem thy Sister calls!
Why wilt thou sleep the sleep of death
And close her from thy ancient walls ?
Thy hills and valleys felt her feet
Gently upon their bosoms move :
Thy gates beheld sweet Zion's ways :
Then was a time of joy and love.
And now the time returns again :
Our souls exult, and London's towers
Receive the Lamb of God to dwell
In England's green and pleasant bowers.
