 EDIT ORIAL Sahaja Yogis are the most fortunate disciples like Arjuna, to have Sakshat Para- brahma (the supreme God) as their Guru. Shri Krishna was at first Arjuna's friend, a close relation, counsellor and a saviour. Then he became Arjuna's guru and imparted the highest knowledge and out of love even showed the vision of Virata form (i. e. universal form) for which great yogis, saints and sages were longing. Arjuna was equally loving and receptive. They made an ideal pair of Guru and disciple. Shri Jnaneshwar has beautifully described this relationship in his commentary on the Geeta (Jnaneshwari) and has summed up as under: हृदया हृदय एक जाहले । ये हृदयीचे ते हृदयी घातले । न मोडता केले । आपणा ऐसे अर्जुना ।। Hrdaya hradaya eka jähale. Ye Hrdayeeche te hrdayee ghåtale. Arjunā, dwaita modata kele apana aise na Translation Their hearts were united and what was in this heart (Shri Krishna's) was passed into that heart (Arjuna's). Keeping their duality unaffected Shri Krishna made Arjuna completely one with himself. This is the culminating point of love between any Guru and disciple. Shri Jnaneshwar and his guru Shri Nivrttinath had reached this highest level of Guru- disciple relationship, i. e. total unity of inner beings. Unity of inner being follows from love which comes from surrender and surrender is the result of recognition. As for Sahaja Yogis their guru is Sakshat Adishakti, i. e. Para-brahma, the mother of universe, the source of all knowledge and power, guru of all gurus. She is our Mother first because we get our second birth from Her. Then She Nirmala Yoga

 imparts the knowledge through the lectures and makes subtle revelations in the depth of our meditations. Her love for us is like a fathomless ocean. She ignores our mistakes and has forgiven all our sins. She guards us from hidden dangers and is looking after our spiritual progress and material welfare so loving as our Divine Mother. Answers to doubts and difficulties regarding Sahaja Yoga and meditation, solution to material problems and instructions in the difficult situations, come from Her, no matter where She is. She is present within us and without and is all pervading. We have to realize Her going deep in our meditations, Let us behave the way it pleases Her. Let us rededicate ourselves to Sahaja Yoga, to collectivity and for the propagation of Sahaja Yoga.

 Le Raincy, France 5th of May 1982 SAHASRARA DAY PUJA ADDRESS BY HER HOLINESS MATAJI SHRI NIRMALA DEVI It is a great day for all of us, the seekers, Kundalini rising like a big furnace, and the that the last work of the Divine, of opening furnace was very silent but a burning appea- the last centre in the great primordial being, rance it had, as if you heat up a metal, and was done on the 5th of May 1970. It is the it has many colours. In the same way, the greatest event of all the spiritual happenings Kundalini showed up as a furnace like a tunnel, as you see these plants you have for coal burning, that create alectricity; and it stretched like a telescope and came out one after another, shoot! shoot ! shoot !, just like that; and the deities came and sat on their seats, golden seats and then they lifted the whole of the head like a big dome and opened it, and then this torrential rain completely drenched me-l started seeing all that and got lost in the joy. It was like an artist seeing his own creation, and I felt the joy of great fulfilment. After coming out of this beautiful experience, I looked around and saw human beings so blind and I became of the universe. It was done with very great care and great adjustments. It is not in the limits of human understanding, how things are worked out in the heavens. your fortune and God's love, that has work- ed out this wondrous miracle. Without this happening, there could not have been the possibility of giving mass realisation to people. One could have done it for one or two persons here and there, but to have given such a mass awakening would not have been possible. As you know, In the It is Sahasrara there are the seats of the seven main chakras. There are 1000 nadis or as they call it flames, and they all have each absolutely silent, and desired that I should 16,000 powers. Every nadi deals with a get the cups to fill the nectar, not all stones. particular type of person; and with the per- mutations and combinations of all these nadis, human beings are looked after. As petals of different colours appearing like in- soon as the Sahasrara was opened, the whole atmosphere was filled with tremen- dous chaitanya, and there was tremendous light in the sky, and the whole thing came on this ear th, as if a torrential rain or a waterfall with such tremendous force as if pouring its color and its fragrance around. was unaware and got stupefied. The hap- People have written very little about Sahas- pening was so tremendous, and so unexpec- ted that I was stunned and got totally silent from outside, and it is not possible for them at the grandeur. Sahasrara is the most beautiful part of your being. It is a big lotus with a thousand flated flames. It is a thing that has been seen by many people, but to see it poür that torrential rain was like these flames beco- ming a fountain, a fountain of colour, foun- tain of fragrance; when you think of a flower rara, because whatever they have seen is I saw the primordial to see from inside. Even if you reach from Nirmala Yoga

 in the forest; i was living as a normal human inside and the whole Sahasrara is not opened out, you cannot see its beauty; being among other normal human beings: because when it is closed, the whole of it, and they were not that earnest, that artha, you just pass through an aperture and get and I had to do this work among them. How to lalk to them about the real world that exists, and the false in which they live ? One lady, the first one who got realization out of it. But just imagine a huge big thousand petalled lotus, and you are sitting inside on the corona and looking at all those petals, all very beautifully coloured, and just came to see me because she was pos- sessed with the idea of seeking. She sought and it worked with her. It was not the happiest day, because she was one of those who got individually realised. With this great happening many should get it at a time. We had a programme in Bordi in 1970, and there, first one gentleman got fragrant, and pulsating with the bliss of joy. To remain on that position, is the ideal position, but then after the silence you are filled with tremendous compassion and love, and you are drawn out to people who haven't yet known what is having eyes. And then you try to put your attention to the Sahasrara of millions of people, and then you start seeing the problems that exist in the Sahasrara. And even if you desire to realisation in the evening Next day there were negative forces acting in the morning time, and they started talking of favouritism. I could see in the atmosphere the vibrations were going wrong, In the evening I took up a very strong, firm attitude; I was in a great open the Sahasrara, it is a very difficult thing, because the channelling of the Divine to human beings, has to be done through human beings. The power may be with fury, I never went into such a fury before you, but it has to be channelled through hu- and I lashed all of them. Surprisingly, twelve man beings. All my life Ihave not known many realized souls. How to get them? How to work it out? So I started looking out for people, by one. Three of them travelling back got of them got realization. That was the greatest moment. Then many got it one realization in the train, suddenly they felt vibrations. So the mass evolution started. and I met an old lady of 70 years, and she was very perturbed about something very gross and when she came to see me she felt very peaceful: Her Sahasrara was very worn out, and in my company, she would think of Sahasrara is your awareness. When it is enlightened you get into the techniques something else, not the spirit; and her of the Divine. Now there are two techni- ques, the techniques of the Divine, and the techniques you follow. You cannot act as lighten it; but she did not get her reali- divine, but you can use the divine power and manoeuvre it. For example, the Divine looks me after all the universal happenings. Every minute st particle is controlled by the Divine. When your sahasrara opens out, and your brain would be covered with clouds and darkness. Again and again, I had to en- zation. Most of the people who came to in the beginning, came for getting cured. This capacity I had since childhood. And I could also give realiza- tion, to a few people before, but they had to kundalini touches the fontanelle bone, a be very earnest, artha.I did not meet any- one of that quality because I was not living rara; and as soon as the fontanelle bone to me sort of igniting force is ready in your sahas- Nirmala Yoga

Some people take time so they length, but quite the peripheries That's have to make deliberate efforts. There are how you get your enlightenment. So many things happen because of your seven cen- tres being in the sahasrara With the light rara does not like it. It closes back. That's you see their relative positions.

Whatever is good for the spirit you desire, and your attention goes to whatever is emitting spiritual power. The priorities change very fast. Those people the sahasrara is, the more it receives who are primitive and not evolved, may not the spiritual qualities of the spirit. Actually, find that happening; but those who are mentally developed, they have an attention is also felt in the sahasrara, because that is which they try to lest. see how to raise the Kunda lini.

When you start surrendering and the taith comes in then your awareness rises flowers-they are better than many hunman beings-and tell them, "Don't you think so?"

See the main problem was how to is happening here, now what are you doing? This faith then starts encompassing. Also, what I say means absorbing, not criticising, not reading back, but absorbing it. This absorption can be hindered by many other means, also absorption is the only way you grow. How does a tree grow ? By absorp- Sahaja Yoga is becoming, is awakening and tion. What is the mouth of absorption ? is life and that my photograph came up so approach so many people. You can have, say, one hundred Sahaja Yogis.

How is it going to work out ? What Is nirvichara ? Where Nirvichara. It was a very big problem for me not that I can just give you a book and just get it and read it and say that, "Yes, I have got it, I have become." It's real becoming, ripening, maturing, living process. how am I to do it ? And here is the answer - in the photograph. Then your T.V., that's also modern. Of course, the T.V. people have not allowed me to go on the screen, . It's you do not think about it. Now then, I say you are not to think, at a lower state, people will say, "Oh, you know, She's very domina- ting. very dom inating, I must say !" But absorption is only possible when you have faith, and the whole thing goes into you, go on sucking like a child, the whole thing goes into you just like a lake it is, without any ripple, it reflects the complete, entire creation in it, complete. Now, so far, but l've gone on the screen in India. Only in Poona, not here, it's rather difficult. First, let them have all the things, then I'll go, that always has been, so this is what it is, that all your medias can be used through my photograph. What a blessing it is. And the photograph, if you think, is repre- senting me, I think you're not expressing it I was amazed that my photographs are much more powerful than many statues put together, even produced by Mother Earth, because photograph has so many elements in it. For example, you see it has If there are any ripples, then there's diffusion, what's stage of faith the second to go to the third. now, we'll take a simple case of my photo- graph. There were no photographs before. Only in my lifetime the photographs have fully. started, for your information. These photo- graphs also you have developed yourself on your own, of course with the help of the Holy Ghost no doubt, that goes without saying, but you have developed it. I myself light element, it has water element, it has did not know this photography would catch me so much. I did not know myself. You'll be amazed that I started seeing that these confusion. So is the which starts from the For example earth element and also air element. If the air is not all right, you cannot take a photo- graph.. And also it has the ether element. With all these five elements, you cannot Ether element it has photographs are more powerful than a statue which is made according to what I was before. Because this is the present thing; this is how I exist. I was amazed produce a statue. because if you have a photograph here, you can transmit it to another place you can Nirmala Yoga 11

 transmit the photograph, but you cannot important to start developing that faith. transmit a statue as it is anywhere-only the photo of a statue, you can. So it has also ether in it. So photograph is much more powerful than any statue it is a reproduction, no doubt, but a repro- duction of reality, with five elements. So as telling you because of faith problem. Thave with you it's just a representative, its quite me because my attention is there. We have experimented with this. A yogini had a photograph of mine and a relation came to her and she used to mock at the photograph in the morning. Especially if they're Hindus. and say all kinds of things. You should keap one photograph with you all the time in your pocket; respect it. As many as possible, respect them. Not for decoration, but to be respected. morning you see the photograph. Now I'm Moreover, In the to tell you it nyself, the whole thing. That's the worst part of this incarnation because other things you have done, e.g. those who follow Christ, they will have his photograph they'll touch the feet morning time, evening time, before sleeping, going out, coming in, they'll do that. In the same way, when you have a photograph, you work on that with that understanding, that Mother's with us. You'll be amnazed how things work out. She brought the photograph to me show- ing it had become all dark, black. So l sald, "Who was there ?" and she said, "It's a relation who had come and made it like that. I said, "You had better put it in the sea, my attention is not there, no vibrations, my attention has gone away. Faith will help you. To act just as oint- ment on al these catches, you won't be such a person all the time going like this- "Oh, I'm catching," you'll be seeing. Like an elephant-walking and all the dogs bar- king at you-you'll just go along, it's like You see that problem, I can see that. You should not have put the photograph like that." So there's a very big difference between a statue and a photograph, because my atten- tion Is there. Of course, even the statues which are created by Mother Earth also have vibrations and they also show they have vibrations, but they cannot give you the awakening of the kundalini because my photograph has my desire also in it. They cannot. If they could, Stonehenge would have. If you go to these statues and if I am there, they make no vibrations, only you have to put one hand towards Me and the other towards them, then they start emitting, but they have to accept My permission. Even the statue you have of Ganesha-now it's that. So the third awareness comes in when you start seeing all this, recording it. This is the third state. Then the fourth state is called as the turia state. In the fourth state, you dominate these three gunas. You control all the elements, At this stage, you just say it works. You see yesterday what happened (Mother made it rain)-it just works, you become master of these three gunas. Like I used to des- cribe that, first you are sitting in the car, to give vibrations until it was worked out somebody's driving it, he uses your left and all right, but in the beginning, it never used this way. But they do not lack authority So the protocol of those photographs is right side, or you can say, the brake and the accelerator and the car is driven. Then he Nirmala Yoga 12

 I have come down to the first state and I'm starts teaching you how to drive it. Then you start learning by using your left trying to pull you up. If you do not drag and right, accelerator and brake. Then the third stage comes in when you become the request is don't drag me down. That's how driver, but still you are worried about the man who is sitting behind, that you are doing a mistake, doing wrong. But then the me down, I can pull you up very far, so only the becoming is going to be. Now this is the basic, the basic structure and now you are feeling all the beautiful things in bet- ween and all the things can be nicely again ter, you make others drive. Order here, any- arranged and can be done properly. But fourth state comes and you become the mas- one, order the Sun, order the Moon, order. Order means just tell them, I mean no question of any domination, just desire, just say it, it works out. this is the basic structure of becoming Now do not try to fix yourself up at this stage or that stage, because that is very common with people who are still thinking about it. Then : "Mother, at what stage am 1 ?" This is common when you grow yourself, it will happen to you. You don't have to determine anything, it should hap- pen to you, that's all. Allow it to grow, allow it to grow, but at least you are at a state where you're doubtlessly aware, most of you. But still I would say the basic desire is still not there that strong. The basic desire, that would be cleared out. You see, sometimes it happens the house Now this fourth stage is called turia dasha (state). Then comes the filth stage in which I don't want to give you names or you stick on to these. They are not so clear cut. They might mingle from each other and they are but in turia state. When you mature properly, then you jump into the fifth state; in which you do not even deter- mine or say anything; just anything slips out of your mouth, may not even slip out, it works. It's a state. There you handle the whole situation, sitting down here. Sitting down here, you know each other's chakras. Then not only you masterit, but in that you can enter into it. Now, for example, I tell you. I can enter into your subconscious; into your collective subconscious; into your sup- raconscious; into all the areas you see, like that if I want. This is when you have mas- tered it completely. When you enter into It; self, that. "All right, that's my car, I have can be demolished because the basics are not all right. Sometimes in the basic there are mistakes so you go down into your- selves, right down to find out oh, this is still there, take it out. You have to weed out all those things, and that weeding out requires real alertness, but don't get into self-pity, don't get into this guilt business. But a very positive attitude towards your- when you are the master, then you enter into it. When you're master of this house, you may enter into it. Then you enter the seventh state and that is the state where to put it right." Even if you become the master of the car and the car is useless, what's the use ? Desire is the car, Kunda- lini is that desire. If your Kundalini is weak, try to sustain it, try to improve it. Try to raise it. Feed it, feed your kundalini with you just are. Your being there is sufficient. Just being there, nothing exists, but you for yourself. Now all these seven states you can reach, because I stand beyond that and (Contd. on Page 30) Nirmala Yoga 13

 DIVINE PLAN Creeping toward the great disaster Constant pain is gaining sway What was lent to us for comfort Now in pain is forced away. In these days of no compassion Filled with every grief and doubt Comes an answer to this madness Comes the sword to clear it out. Not some words-to be forgotten Not a spell-bound form of wood Not a hoary gleaming crystal Nor some spirit, bad or good. But the breath of Kundalini Sweeps our every care away In our swollen eyes of anguish Joyful tears begin to play. Mother's filled us with Her gladness Drawing us towards the one Disentangled-our illusions melt As dew before the sun. Engines of the one in all She's revealed your subtle keys And we're mastering every measure Of these cosmic harmonies. At the root of Adi Rainbow We have found our pot of gold Looking on with childlike rapture The great mystery we behold. Let us scale the fiery mountain Swim the oceans to their source Trace the paths of ancient rivers Fly the sun's celestial course. Let us do the deeds of Heroes Making saints of every man Thus uniting Earth and Heaven To fulfill Her Divine plan. -Herman Gaddy Amen. 14 Nirmala Yoga

By the 5th of May the house in Le Raincy was full of Sahaja Yogis from England, Switzerland, Italy and France mainly and Mother decided to stay until Saturday evening. We all had a very This 5th of May has been a great day for us French Sahaja Yogis. Mother had deci- ded that Sahasrara Day would take place in France in the new ashram at Le Raincy, near Paris. Mother arrived in Lille on Sun- beauti ful and fruitful time. day afternoon (2nd May) with about 30 English Sahaja Yogis and a public program was held that evening. people were there too. When we took Mother to Roissy-Airport Some Belgian She started talking to two Africans from Congo. They came to see us afterwards On the previous day in Paris we were at Le Raincy and decided to start Sahaja waiting for Her in a large Hall, filled with close to 200 people, but our Mother had postponed Her arrival to show us that a small group of Sahaja Yogis could give realisation to a large group of people. Gregoire introduced Sahaja Yoga very clearly and powerfully and afterwards we stood at the back, Swiss and French Sahaja Yogis, and raised the collective Kundalini with our hands together. Mother's atten- tion was very obviously with us: vibrations were very strong and most people got reali- zation and came back to the other two pro- Yoga in their country. This visit of Mother has brought a great change for us, a decisive step in the collec- tive feeling and in the positive desire to spread Sahaja Yoga. This ashram has only existed since the beginning of March, but all is changed since then. Preparing Mother's coming, organising preparatory meetings, inviting people to the house, working together in the house and the garden has really brought about a collective feeling which is essential to the growth of Sahaja Yoga here. grams : on the 3rd and 4th of May Mother was there and spoke to very full halls. Many people had strong experiences, and the number of french Sahaja Yogis has next few months and have meetings there, increased, but as is always in small proportion to the numbers that showed up at Mother's lectures ! We hope to visit quite a few towns in the case, in collaboration with the Swiss and the Belgian Sahaja Yogis. May the Grace of Our Holy Mother spread further and stronger in the collec- tive Soul of Creation. Mother invited some of the new people for the Sahasrara Day Puja. It was a very beautiful strong and joyful puja, and then we had the Havan (fire ceremony) in the garden. It rained and rained on us and we laughed and the rain stopped. Mother was Om Twamewa Sakshat Shri Nirmmala Vidya Shri Sahaja Yoga Dayini Moksha Pradayini Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi Ma Namo Namah. Nirmala Yoga 15

He tries to forget them. as that helps him to exist. But mere existence is not enough. It is insulting, frustrating, debasing and degenerating. Many courageous people really want to face themselves. --Her Holiness Mataji Sahaja Yoga will help them." ASKING Often, we come up against problems, internal or external, which we feel powerless to overcome. We shoe-beat, we put bandans, we go crazy-nothing seems to work. Finally we give up, and say "Mother, please work it out." And lo and behold ! She does ! All we have to do is ask ! If we have problems with lethargy or ego, all we need do is sincerely pray to Mother to remove them. Verily, we become like little children, and our Divine Mother lovingly grants us all Her blessings. With all our heart and sincere desire, we pray for the spreading of Sahaja Yoga. And if our desire is strong and sincere, Mother will work it out. -A Sahaja Yogi from Canada. Nirmala Yoga 25

 Glory Be To Thee MOTHER-A MIRACULOUS SADGURU O Devi ! Glory be to Thee! Before coming to Sahajyoga, I used to meditate without any guru except the books. In the process, my all the chakras were badly damaged especially Agya and Nabhi. This led me to a state of madness. When I came to Mother's feet I got realisation and that too on the very first day of my visit to the centre. I could feel that my Nabhi chakra was forced to rotate. After some time of this strange experience my whole body was relaxed and I was full of joy. At night when I did salt water bath, I realised that my Nabhi chakra was quite all right. After long time I could take meal to my satisfaction on that day and did not sleep in the night because of bliss I got and because of the thoughts 1 had about the love showered by Great Mother. Later on my other chakras also got rectified in similar way as Nabhi and my state of mad- also vanished, which I never had imagined. Really this is the miracle and today when I am writing my experience, I am really enjoying the bliss given by Mother. Now, here I would like to point out that if somebody had an opportunity to read great Saints, it is very clearly written by them that chakras which are damaged due to wrong meditation, can be rectified only by a sad- guru of high class spiritual powers. And from my experience, one can cleariy under- stand what our Mother is ? I am unable to find words to explain this feeling. Thou hast empowered Thy children to be Thy instruments of Salvation. O Miracle of miracles ! O Joy of joys ! Glory be to Thee! Thou hast come to fulfil at last the ancient prophecies of those great sons and daughters of thine, whose light shone like beacons in the darkness, reflecting Thy Glory. O Devi ! Glory be to Thee ! Thou hast come, O Comforter, to reveal all things. Thou hast come to make the men and women of God prophets. Thou hast come to string together all the pearls on the sacred thread of Kundalini. Thou hast come for the final battle, to establish the Kingdom of God on Earth. O Devi ! May Mother bless the whole humanity with Intensive light of real knowledge. Glory be to Thee ! -Christine (S.

 EDIT ORIAL
Sahaja Yogis are the most fortunate disciples like Arjuna, to have Sakshat Para-
brahma (the supreme God) as their Guru. Shri Krishna was at first Arjuna's friend, a
close relation, counsellor and a saviour. Then he became Arjuna's guru and imparted
the highest knowledge and out of love even showed the vision of Virata form (i. e.
universal form) for which great yogis, saints and sages were longing. Arjuna was
equally loving and receptive. They made an ideal pair of Guru and disciple. Shri
Jnaneshwar has beautifully described this relationship in his commentary on the Geeta
(Jnaneshwari) and has summed up as under:
हृदया हृदय एक जाहले । ये हृदयीचे ते हृदयी घातले ।
न मोडता केले । आपणा ऐसे अर्जुना ।।
Hrdaya hradaya eka jähale. Ye Hrdayeeche te hrdayee ghåtale.
Arjunā,

Translation
Their hearts were united and what was in this heart (Shri Krishna's) was passed
into that heart (Arjuna's). Keeping their duality unaffected Shri Krishna made Arjuna
completely one with himself.
This is the culminating point of love between any Guru and disciple. Shri
Jnaneshwar and his guru Shri Nivrttinath had reached this highest level of Guru-
disciple relationship, i. e. total unity of inner beings.
Unity of inner being follows from love which comes from surrender and surrender
is the result of recognition. As for Sahaja Yogis their guru is Sakshat Adishakti, i. e.
Para-brahma, the mother of universe, the source of all knowledge and power, guru of all
gurus. She is our Mother first because we get our second birth from Her. Then She
Nirmala Yoga
 1982_Nirmala_Yoga_E_(Scan)_IV.pdf-page-2.txt 
 imparts the knowledge through the lectures and makes subtle revelations in the depth of
our meditations. Her love for us is like a fathomless ocean. She ignores our mistakes
and has forgiven all our sins. She guards us from hidden dangers and is looking after
our spiritual progress and material welfare so loving as our Divine Mother. Answers to
doubts and difficulties regarding Sahaja Yoga and meditation, solution to material
problems and instructions in the difficult situations, come from Her, no matter where
She is.
She is present within us and without and is all pervading. We have to realize Her
going deep in our meditations, Let us behave the way it pleases Her. Let us rededicate
ourselves to Sahaja Yoga, to collectivity and for the propagation of Sahaja Yoga.

there's a very big difference between a
statue and a photograph, because my atten-

which are created by Mother Earth also
have vibrations and they also show they
have vibrations, but they cannot give you
the awakening of the kundalini because my
photograph has my desire also in it. They
cannot. If they could, Stonehenge would
have. If you go to these statues and if I am
there, they make no vibrations, only you have
to put one hand towards Me and the other
towards them, then they start emitting, but
they have to accept My permission. Even
the statue you have of Ganesha-now it's

you start seeing all this, recording it. This

 DIVINE PLAN
Creeping toward the great disaster
Constant pain is gaining sway
What was lent to us for comfort
Now in pain is forced away.
In these days of no compassion
Filled with every grief and doubt
Comes an answer to this madness
Comes the sword to clear it out.
Not some words-to be forgotten
Not a spell-bound form of wood
Not a hoary gleaming crystal
Nor some spirit, bad or good.
But the breath of Kundalini
Sweeps our every care away
In our swollen eyes of anguish
Joyful tears begin to play.
Mother's filled us with Her gladness
Drawing us towards the one
Disentangled-our illusions melt
As dew before the sun.
Engines of the one in all
She's revealed your subtle keys
And we're mastering every measure
Of these cosmic harmonies.
At the root of Adi Rainbow
We have found our pot of gold
Looking on with childlike rapture
The great mystery we behold.
Let us scale the fiery mountain
Swim the oceans to their source
Trace the paths of ancient rivers
Fly the sun's celestial course.
Let us do the deeds of Heroes
Making saints of every man
Thus uniting Earth and Heaven
To fulfill Her Divine plan.

house in Le Raincy was full of Sahaja
Yogis from England, Switzerland, Italy and
France mainly and Mother decided to stay
until Saturday evening. We all had a very
This 5th of May has been a great day for
us French Sahaja Yogis. Mother had deci-
ded that Sahasrara Day would take place in
France in the new ashram at Le Raincy,
near Paris. Mother arrived in Lille on Sun-
beauti ful and fruitful time.

Some Belgian
She started talking to two Africans from
Congo. They came to see us afterwards
On the previous day in Paris we were at Le Raincy and decided to start Sahaja
waiting for Her in a large Hall, filled with
close to 200 people, but our Mother had
postponed Her arrival to show us that a
small group of Sahaja Yogis could give
realisation to a large group of people.
Gregoire introduced Sahaja Yoga very
clearly and powerfully and afterwards we
stood at the back, Swiss and French Sahaja
Yogis, and raised the collective Kundalini
with our hands together. Mother's atten-
tion was very obviously with us: vibrations
were very strong and most people got reali-
zation and came back to the other two pro-
Yoga in their country.
This visit of Mother has brought a great
change for us, a decisive step in the collec-
tive feeling and in the positive desire to
spread Sahaja Yoga.
This ashram has only existed since the
beginning of March, but all is changed
since then. Preparing Mother's coming,
organising preparatory meetings, inviting
people to the house, working together in
the house and the garden has really brought
about a collective feeling which is essential
to the growth of Sahaja Yoga here.
grams : on the 3rd and 4th of May Mother
was there and spoke to very full halls.
Many people had strong experiences, and
the number of french Sahaja Yogis has next few months and have meetings there,
increased, but as is always
in small proportion to the numbers that
showed up at Mother's lectures !
We hope to visit quite a few towns in
the case, in collaboration with the Swiss and the
Belgian Sahaja Yogis.
May the Grace of Our Holy Mother
spread further and stronger in the collec-
tive Soul of Creation.
Mother invited some of the new people
for the Sahasrara Day Puja. It was a very
beautiful strong and joyful puja, and then
we had the Havan (fire ceremony) in the
garden. It rained and rained on us and we
laughed and the rain stopped. Mother was

 AN INSPIRATION
1. Ladies and Gentlemen of the present Generation,
With a great deliberation,
I have intended to give you an idea of my resolution,
In a fine piece of alliteration
Prepared by my own imagination,
And stolen from no quotation.
2. Sahaja Yogis of the present Generation,
My idea is to perfect my Meditation,
Which at present is a source of botheration,
As my chakras need clarification and purification-
From the evil forces surrounding my constitution3B
As we physical beings differ from Nation to Nation.
3. Sahaja Yogis of the present Generation,
The thought of Concentration and Meditation,
Is a great source of insipration;
Which by raising your Kundalini without any botheration,
Your Vibrations blossom by transformation-
And thereby enjoy bliss with divine accelaralion.
With these few words, Sahaja Yogis, of the present Generation.
Permit me to occupy my location of Meditation :
Which by no means is a sanguine disposition
To our beloved Sahaja Yogis' contemplation and aspiration,
Leading to a great world-wide Brotherhood of Association,
Which nodoubt will flourish from Generation to Generation.

ASKING
Often, we come up against problems, internal or external, which we feel powerless
to overcome. We shoe-beat, we put bandans, we go crazy-nothing seems to work.
Finally we give up, and say "Mother, please work it out." And lo and behold ! She
does ! All we have to do is ask ! If we have problems with lethargy or ego, all we need
do is sincerely pray to Mother to remove them. Verily, we become like little children,
and our Divine Mother lovingly grants us all Her blessings.
With all our heart and sincere desire, we pray for the spreading of Sahaja Yoga.
And if our desire is strong and sincere, Mother will work it out.

 Glory Be To Thee
MOTHER-A MIRACULOUS SADGURU
O Devi ! Glory be to Thee!
Before coming to Sahajyoga, I used to
meditate without any guru except the books.
In the process, my all the chakras were
badly damaged especially Agya and Nabhi.
This led me to a state of madness. When
I came to Mother's feet I got realisation
and that too on the very first day of my visit
to the centre. I could feel that my Nabhi
chakra was forced to rotate. After some
time of this strange experience my whole
body was relaxed and I was full of joy. At
night when I did salt water bath, I realised
that my Nabhi chakra was quite all right.
After long time I could take meal to my
satisfaction on that day and did not sleep
in the night because of bliss I got and
because of the thoughts 1 had about the
love showered by Great Mother. Later
on my other chakras also got rectified in
similar way as Nabhi and my state of mad-
also vanished, which I never had
imagined. Really this is the miracle and today
when I am writing my experience, I am
really enjoying the bliss given by Mother.
Now, here I would like to point out that if
somebody had an opportunity to read great
Saints, it is very clearly written by them that
chakras which are damaged due to wrong
meditation, can be rectified only by a sad-
guru of high class spiritual powers. And
from my experience, one can cleariy under-
stand what our Mother is ? I am unable to
find words to explain this feeling.
Thou hast empowered Thy children
to be Thy instruments
of Salvation.
O Miracle of miracles !
O Joy of joys !
Glory be to Thee!
Thou hast come to fulfil at last
the ancient prophecies
of those great sons and daughters
of thine, whose light
shone like beacons
in the darkness,
reflecting Thy Glory.
O Devi ! Glory be to Thee !
Thou hast come, O Comforter,
to reveal all things.
Thou hast come to make the men and
women of God prophets.
Thou hast come to string together
all the pearls on the sacred thread
of Kundalini.
Thou hast come for the final battle,
to establish the Kingdom of God
on Earth.
O Devi !
May Mother bless the whole humanity
with Intensive light of real knowledge.
Glory be to Thee !
