 To my flower children You are angry with Life Like small children Whose Mother is lost in Darkness Your sulk expressing despair At the fruitless end of your journey You wear ugliness to discover Beauty You name everything false in the name of truth You drain out emotions to fill the cup of Love My sweet children, my darling How can you get peace by waging war With yourself, with your being, with joy itself Enough are your efforts of renunciation The artificial mask of consolation Now rest in the petals of the lotus flower In the lap of your gracious Mother I will adorn your life with beautiful blossoms And fill your moments with joyful fragrance I will annoint your head with divine love For I cannot bear your torture anymore Let me engulf you in the ocean of joy So you lose your being in the Greater one Who is smiling in your calyx of self Secretly hidden to tease you all the while Be aware and you will find Him Vibrating your every fibre with blissful joy Covering the whole universe with light. --MOTHER NIRMALA With the belssings of our Divine Mother, regular meditation centers at the following places have been established. 10.00 A.M.

 EDIT ORIAL Navaratri Puja ends on Dussehra day, which is the tenth day. This day is also known as 'Vijaya Dashami' L.e. the tenth day of victory when it is said that Shri Rama returned to Ayodhya, his capital, after killing Ravana, As a Mahabharata story goes, on this day Pandavas came out openly in arms against Kauravas, after the exile of 12 years. Navaratri Puja itself is performed in the memory of the victory of Adi-Shakti over demons and to pray for Her continued protection. "'Devi-Mahatmya' tells us how Gods beseeched the supreme Goddess to protect them, every time demons vanguished them, and they could win back their kingdoms only after She came to their rescue, It is Her powers that acted through Shri Rama and Shri Krishna and other Gods. Satanic forces could not be defeate d without her biessings. According to 'Devi-Mahatmya' She has promised to take incarnations whenever asuras would create 'badhas' in this world. In ancient days, as we know from various scriptures, asuras could be distingui- shed and also they attacked openly. Now they have come back in subtle forms and with most deceptive appearances. They attack the inner systems, our thinking and lure us into their traps. In order to counter their tricks, Mother has come back to distribute the bliss en mass to Her children, to make them spiritually strong and to make them saints, so that the false sadhus and gurus would vanish. She has given Brahma Shakti (Vibrations) to detect, and drive away the negativity, 'bandhan' to use as shield. against the attacks and as noose to bind it. The shakti increases with progress in Sahaja Yoga. More we give, more we get. More we fight more we are protected. Sahaja Yogis are the soldiers of Her army, and the channels for Her powers. With every per- son that gets realisation, demonic forces are pushed back. She is the Deity of all Gods and they are happy when She is pleased. She is within us and all pervading but it is our individuality that is separating us from Her. Nirmala Yoga

 Pray, Mother, may we get over our 'l consciousness' so that the drops that we are, integrate with the ocean that is You. इन्द्रियाणां अधिष्ठात्री भूतानां चाखिलेयु या । भूतेषु सततं तस्यै व्याप्तिदेव्ये नमो नमः ।। चितिरूपेण या कुत्स्नमेतद्व्याप्य स्थिता जगत् । नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यं नमस्तस्य नमो नमः ।। Indriyāņām adhishthatri bhootānām chākhileshu ya I Bhooteshu satatam tasyai vyāpti devyai namo namalh II chitiroopen yā kritsna-metadvyāpya sthitā jagat I Namastasyai Namastasyai Namastasyai Namo Namah II Translation Obeisance to that Goddess who is foundational to all organs of beings and who is ever present within all beings.

 Letter Dear Mr. Subramanyamji, This is a statue of Neptune (God of the Sea) that we can see in Madrid, Spain where we went with some Sahaja Yogis to prepare Her Holiness Mataji's visit. It was a beautiful experience to see so many seekers coming and through Her Holiness Mataji's grace get their realization. Sahaja Yoga is spreading much quicker in the West. It is a new speed. Her Holiness Mataji was talking these last days about dedication. She said, "dedication to ME, not to Sahaja Yoga is the only way you can evolve". To be one with spirit is such a beautiful state as the heart lets all the love flow. This is what we have discovered in India. In Delhi heart is very opened. We enjoyed so much our stay. Hope to come next winter. Now we are going to Switzerland and Austria for Her Holiness Mataji's programme. Let us pray that many seekers will come. With all our affection. -Philip and Marie Laure Nirmala Yoga

So for Sahaja Yoga we have to have If people are money-minded then Sahaja people who are trying to justify their subtle- Yoga does not work out well with them. ties. Such subtle people have always been a little different from the mundane crowd. These people always express themselves in insurance, about how the carpet is spoilt, such a manner that their existence itself this has happened, that happened; such suggests that they are trying to cement the people are very difficult. But lower than whole world. Sort of, you can feel that this are the people who come here to have those who can feel that there is an element some sort of an exploitation out of Sahaja within us which makes us laugh at the Yoga. Such gross people also come in and stupidity of others who may appear to them- when they find that they cannot work out selves very seriously doing things but to us their plans, they walk out. it seems as if its rather stupid to waste type of people who come here come for their life. This is the calibre of different some material gain from Sahaja Yoga. May people. First these people, with that calibre, be physical gain also. Like somebody is with that dynamism within them, will be sick so they come for their sickness. A settled in Sahaja Yoga. Not the ordinary or If you always think about money, of your very gross way of looking at things is to come to Sahaja Yoga for getting cured. So gross type. But because our doors are open to every- when they get cured they disappear. Quite one, because there is no charge or anything, stupid isn't it ? Then some people come for anything, all sorts of people come in. with the idea that may be with Mother's And when they come in, they do not know blessings our financial problems will be what they want. Out of them some could solved; only with that idea. Then they also be the grossest of all. Some might be just get their financial problems solved and they walking in to take out something, just to get out. But some of them do not. Some steal something, possibly. I have seen all of them cannot manage to get what they kinds of people come to Sahaja Yoga. Such want and they get upset. Nirmala Yoga

Some of them come is that, which is just seeking "Sahaja Yoga", this side and get out from the otherside. which is just seeking ""Union with God". But those who stay are people who are Nothing else.

 JAI MATAJI Translation of Her Holiness Mataji's Speech in Marathi, wherein she has explained the meaning of her own name Nirmala. It is good that all Sahaja Yogis have come together. When we meet like this, we can discuss many things of mutual interest The illusion that you see is not just the illusion, but there is something beyond that. However, we have wasted so many years of lives in it that we give importance to all that actually does not exist and in doing that we have made heaps of sins. We have tried to derive the pleasure from many things. We have received nothing from whatever we have tried to enjoy. Essentially, it is all nothing. and tell even small details about them to each other. The other day I told you how to clean yourself as your Mother's name itself is Nirmala and it contains many powers. The first word is NIH (:) which means not. Something that actually does ot exist but appears to exist, is called Mahă- māyā (illusion) and the whole world is like that. It is seen but it is not true. If we are involved into it we feel that it is the only point everywhere in life. Then you will know So, the outiook should be, it is all that no- thing, it is all false. Only Brahma is real the rest all is false. You have to adopt this view thing we have to live for. Then we feel that economic conditions are unsatisfactory, most of the Sahaja Yogis after realisation, is social and domestic conditions are bad, that they think, "now that we are realised everything around us is bad and we are not happy about anything. what Sahaja Yoga is. What happens with we have Mataji's blessings, Then why are we not prosperous?". That means they think God is in the prosperity. if you find out why your nature does not change even Water on the sea surface is very dirty and turbid. Many objects are seen floating after realisation you will know that our on it But if we go deep into the sea there "Swabhāv the nature of our spirit, does not is so much beauty, wealth and power that change. See, how beautiful is this word we forget that on the surface the water is so bad. Swabhav Swa' is Atman i.e. the spirit and bhấy is the nature, Have you become the nature of your Self ? If you become your self there is so much beauty within, that all that goes on outside would appear like drama. So long as this witness state is not blish 'NIH' you have to tell yourself, whenever fully awakened within you, you have not a thought comes, say it is not there, another followed the word NIH' (:) and also you have not practised it. Suppose you are aware that you have not established 'NIH' The point is that everything that you see around is illusion. You must remember first of all it is all nothing. If you have to esta- thought comes, say it is not there. You have to feel this again and again. Then you will understand the meaning of word 'NIH'. within you and even now you become some- Nirmala Yoga 13

Is it not still of being on 'NIH' is at the centre of these moving ? Give your thoughts to God and extremes. You are neither in this state nor ask Him to think about you. But it is rather difficult, because you are not thought less. in that. This state can be best achieved in the meditation, Just by following the idea of "NIH' in your life you will become (Nirvicha) Many people say "we have surrender- ed everything' because they do it only in talking. ", but it does not happen thoughtless. Surren- First of all you should become thought- dering is not talking. You have to surrender less. Once you start jumping on a thought to attain thoughtiessness. That is you have however good or bad it may be, you go into some sort of inertia and in that state you jump from one thought to another. So some people have said that a bad thought should be opposed by a good thought. In other words if a vehicle or train coming from one stopped thinking. When you stop thinking you come to the centre., When at the centre, immediately you go into thoughtless awar- ness, i.e. become one with God's power and when you are one with the God's power, He looks after you. He takes care of your small things also. You will be amazed. it is worth trying and after that you will realise that what you were doing earlier was wrong. So once you are in thoughtlessness you will get all inspirations, all powers and every- direction, is pushed back by another one, both will stop somewhere at the centre. It is good but ocassionally it can become harmful. A bad thought when put down by a good thought remains supressed but it can suddenly come up and it happens with many people. They press down their nor- mal thoughts and always tell themselves surprised. Everything will come to you as that they must be good to others and must be well behaved etc. These people can some- times be in trouble. Suddenly they get ex- asperated and others cannot understand, why these well behaved people are annoyed. Also they lose their inner peace. All the beauty within them is destroyed. So we thing. The idea that you get in thought- lessness is an inspiration. You will be if on a plate. You are sianding to give a speech. Just be thoughtless and start. Although you have never given a speech earlier or do not even know how to do it or have no special knowledge of any subject, you will speak so well that others will be astonished how you know so much. But once you are deep in the thoughtless state all comes from there and not from your should be always thoughtless. Ban all thoughts from your mind and then you would automatically remain at the centre. brain. I tell you about Me. You pray 'Mother You must make all efforts.

Because you are entangled. All that happens in the thoughtless state is enlightened. Whenever suffix Pra is used (in Sanskrit, Hindi or Marathi) it means enlightened. Light never talks. If you switch on the light in the room, the light won't speak or give you any ideas. It would just stream (Pravāha)" which means enlightened make everything visible.

 To my flower children
You are angry with Life
Like small children
Whose Mother is lost in Darkness
Your sulk expressing despair
At the fruitless end of your journey
You wear ugliness to discover Beauty
You name everything false in the name of truth
You drain out emotions to fill the cup of Love
My sweet children, my darling
How can you get peace by waging war
With yourself, with your being, with joy itself
Enough are your efforts of renunciation
The artificial mask of consolation
Now rest in the petals of the lotus flower
In the lap of your gracious Mother
I will adorn your life with beautiful blossoms
And fill your moments with joyful fragrance
I will annoint your head with divine love
For I cannot bear your torture anymore
Let me engulf you in the ocean of joy
So you lose your being in the Greater one
Who is smiling in your calyx of self
Secretly hidden to tease you all the while
Be aware and you will find Him
Vibrating your every fibre with blissful joy
Covering the whole universe with light.

Navaratri Puja ends on Dussehra day, which is the tenth day. This day is also
known as 'Vijaya Dashami' L.e. the tenth day of victory when it is said that Shri Rama
returned to Ayodhya, his capital, after killing Ravana, As a Mahabharata story goes,
on this day Pandavas came out openly in arms against Kauravas, after the exile of 12
years. Navaratri Puja itself is performed in the memory of the victory of Adi-Shakti over
demons and to pray for Her continued protection.
"'Devi-Mahatmya' tells us how Gods beseeched the supreme Goddess to protect
them, every time demons vanguished them, and they could win back their kingdoms only
after She came to their rescue, It is Her powers that acted through Shri Rama and Shri
Krishna and other Gods. Satanic forces could not be defeate d without her biessings.
According to 'Devi-Mahatmya' She has promised to take incarnations whenever asuras
would create 'badhas' in this world.
In ancient days, as we know from various scriptures, asuras could be distingui-
shed and also they attacked openly. Now they have come back in subtle forms and
with most deceptive appearances. They attack the inner systems, our thinking and lure
us into their traps. In order to counter their tricks, Mother has come back to distribute
the bliss en mass to Her children, to make them spiritually strong and to make them
saints, so that the false sadhus and gurus would vanish. She has given Brahma
Shakti (Vibrations) to detect, and drive away the negativity, 'bandhan' to use as shield.
against the attacks and as noose to bind it. The shakti increases with progress in
Sahaja Yoga. More we give, more we get. More we fight more we are protected. Sahaja
Yogis are the soldiers of Her army, and the channels for Her powers. With every per-
son that gets realisation, demonic forces are pushed back.
She is the Deity of all Gods and they are happy when She is pleased. She is
within us and all pervading but it is our individuality that is separating us from Her.

 Letter
Dear Mr. Subramanyamji,
This is a statue of Neptune (God of the Sea) that we can see in Madrid, Spain
where we went with some Sahaja Yogis to prepare Her Holiness Mataji's visit. It was a
beautiful experience to see so many seekers coming and through Her Holiness Mataji's
grace get their realization. Sahaja Yoga is spreading much quicker in the West. It is
a new speed. Her Holiness Mataji was talking these last days about dedication. She
said, "dedication to ME, not to Sahaja Yoga is the only way you can evolve".
To be one with spirit is such a beautiful state as the heart lets all the love
flow. This is what we have discovered in India. In Delhi heart is very opened. We
enjoyed so much our stay. Hope to come next winter. Now we are going to Switzerland
and Austria for Her Holiness Mataji's programme. Let us pray that many seekers will
come. With all our affection.

 A Prayer to Sri Bhoomi Devi
OM Sakshat Sri Bhoomi Devi Namo Namah.
Upon you beloved Mother Earth we stand at this the crossroads of man's destiny.
Only through your kind love of your children are we here now.
You have graciously sustained us thus far.
You have given us food, water, clothing and shelter.
'O' beloved Mother Earth, with our heads bowed we thank you.
And with our heads bowed we come humbly to you asking further sustenance
strength for the many long days ahead.
'O' beloved Mother Earth, now that we have grown a little and stand firmer each day,
We pray to you to help clear the way as we begin to march forwards.
We long for the cleansing of all lands, so that upon you beloved Mother Earth the
righteous may return to their divine home.
We hope to be many.
'O' beloved Mother Earth, give us patience as we search for our brothers and sisters
and
Give us detachment from all distractions.
Give us perseverance in our task.
'O' beloved Mother Earth, most of all, help us, as your seas cleanse the shores, to
clean our hearts, so that we may desire only that which is right.
'O' beloved Mother Earth support us to that we may soon stand upon you in great
numbers and invoke with one mighty voice the dance of Lord Shiva.
These things we most humbly pray.
OM Sakshat Sri Bhoomi Devi Namo Namah.
Bolo Sri Bhoomi Devi, Sri Mataji, Sri Nirmala Devi Ki Jai.
