You have to take care of only your Chitta because only that will be enlightened. The first lamp will be lit on that day. But night of Diwali is blind. It cannot see the lamps. In this Kali-Yuga, this work will be done only if many lamps are lit. Always remembering you, Your separated Mother, Nirmala

Translation That consciousness of Shankara is ever victorious which in its wholeness is non dual in reality though having an appearance of duality from which emerges the class of Rudras and all living beings and in which comes to rest which is the fundamental reality from which bursts forth into view the universe whose form is the universe, from whose unimpeded free witl ever leaps forth his divine power which is a mass of bliss bringing about unsur- passed immortal vibrations (the primal.creative force). Adi-Shakti is the consciousness of Shiva, pervading in everything yet transcending above all and governing. E ' – Mother of every living being from Brahma i.e. Hiranaya- She is Abrahma-keet-Janani" garbha down to an insect. All universes have emerged from Her and She is founda- tional for everything that exists in them. Vibrations is the manifestation of Her own unimpeded free will. She is the shelter of all great souls. Her lotus feet have been worshipped and meditated upon by saints and sages since times immemorial. Nirmala Yoga

 It is sixty years since She has assumed the form of our Beloved Mother to kindle the light of Kundalini within us and enlighten the path of Sushumna for ultimate liberation and for consciously uniting with Her universal being. On the battle field of Kurukshetra Arjuna was not able to see with his mortal eyes the universal form of Shri Krishna, having the resplendence of thousand Suns. Out of great compassion on him Shri Krishna touched his eyes. Arjuna could behold that indescribable form of the Virata. However imperfect as he was, he could not bear the sight and prayed Shri Krishna to become his usual self with which Arjuna was friendly. In the battie field of life we are like Arjuna, genuine seekers, yet unprepared to meet the Supreme and unable to recognise the incarnations and are following the Instructions of ego rather than of our Spirit. Hence at the very outset, our attention is raisedabove the limitations of ego and super-ego. Vibrations, the Brahma shakti, is the partial glimpse of Her Cosmic form. Then, further revelations occur to us. She is leading us step Kundalini rises in strands depending upon the opening of Sushumna and by step. strength of Chakras. She knows the inner beings and is correcting the faults of everyone of thousands of Sahaja Yogis even without one's knowledge Every Sahaja Yogi is being looked after, as if a tender sapling, so that their inner mechanisms become strong enough to sustain final revelation ie the unity of Jeeva (the consciousness limited by ego and super-ego) and Shiva i.e. She Herself. How to express gratitude for all this to Her who is the condensed form of our Spirits ! We all Sahaja Yogis kneel down in utter humility and pray: "O Mother, your form is soothing to our inner beings, it is quenching the thirsts of our Spirits, it is fulfilling the wishes of all great sages, saints and seekers, Kindly keep this form in good health for years and years". नास्ति वारण स्वमेव अन्यथा शरण व । तस्मात् कारुण्य भावेन रक्ष रक्ष परमेश्वरी ॥ Anyatha Sharanam Nasti Sharanam Twameva Cha ! Tasmat Kārunya Bhavena Raksha Raksha Parameshwari !! Translation O Supreme Goddess, I surrender to you alone and non else. Hence have compassion on me and protect me. Nirmala Yoga

 A PRAYER O Primordial Mother, Let Your Blessings bestow upon me through Your Holy Vibrations, And let Your Holiest of all Holiest names be always in my Heart, And forgive me for offending you in thoughts, words and deeds and make me ashamed of it, And give me courage to forgive others as you have forgiven me, And let your vibrations make me understand as to where I stand so that I can plead for forgiveness to my ever loving Mother who is the Creator of this Universe, And finally let me thank you for all that You have given to me and pray that Your Blessings will bestow on this poor child infinitely. Jai Mataji -Avdhut Pai Bombay (Poem presented to Mother, at Dollis Hill, London during Easter Puja 1980). Mother, Your Name is our Truth Your Love is our Support Mother. Your Words fill us with Joy May our Joy fill every Universe Mother What May we do but Serve You ? What should we do but praise You ? What can we do without You ? Mother, Most Glorious You are And forever Mataji Nirmala Devi. -John Peirson London Nirmala Yoga

 The Message of Christ and the Inherent Dangers of Sustaining the Realisation CAXTON HALL, LONDON 10th December 1979 This is the day for us to remember that But to such people, it does'nt matter Christ was born on this earth as a human whether you are lying in the dried grass or being.

But He was born in a stable, not who seek comforts in life, I mean if you So many people in Latin America, when I went there, said, understand why Christ was born as a poor we cannot in a palace or to a king, but He was born to a very ordinary person, a carpenter.

They are looking to- wards good but have something hanging on to them which is not so good. So for these people there are inherent defects in the Kundalini which we must understand cured by Sahaja Yoga. No doubt, we can cure kidney trouble but a person who has been on the machine you try you cannot cure. We can give him longevity but he cannot be cured. But to cure people is not your job by any chance. You must remember this. The first of them is bad health, physi- No Sahaja Yogi should take to curing peo- cal bad health.

Now the right side movement fills us with the products of our own sympathetic activity and will power such as individualistic cons- ciousness, yearning for the fruits of the actions, efforts, strivings and, perhaps, competitivity and tensions. However only when we are empty, freed from all these things, can we be filied with Tao.

This system, The Divine Mother says: After realization you all had lots of knowledge () about Kundalinl and Sahaja Yoga but without Bhakti you cannot achieve the balance. You have to get lost in Bhakti. Bhakti enriches your feelings. Try to feel the other Sahaja Yogis without criticising them. I am enjoying your beings, the beauty and glory that you are. I wish you all could do that and feel like a drop in the ocean itself. Bhakti will dissolve your angularities and impediments in the collective oneness. O my children, you are really born out of my Sahasrara. I conceived you in my hear and gave you the new birth through the Brahmarandhra. The Ganges of my love has carried you into the realm of collective consciousness. This love is too great tor my human body. It nourishes you, soothes you and gives you security. Gradually it opens your awareness to bliss and joy. But this love also corrects you and prunes you It guides you and directs you. It reveals itself in the form of true knowledge. It absorbs your shocks and settles you like a guiding leaf on the hard surface of truth. It strengthens you to fulfil your aspirations of reaching spiri- tual heights. Edited & Published by Sh. S. C.

 It is sixty years since She has assumed the form of our Beloved Mother to kindle the
light of Kundalini within us and enlighten the path of Sushumna for ultimate liberation
and for consciously uniting with Her universal being. On the battle field of Kurukshetra
Arjuna was not able to see with his mortal eyes the universal form of Shri Krishna,
having the resplendence of thousand Suns. Out of great compassion on him Shri
Krishna touched his eyes. Arjuna could behold that indescribable form of the Virata.
However imperfect as he was, he could not bear the sight and prayed Shri Krishna to
become his usual self with which Arjuna was friendly.
In the battie field of life we are like Arjuna, genuine seekers, yet unprepared to meet the
Supreme and unable to recognise the incarnations and are following the Instructions of
ego rather than of our Spirit. Hence at the very outset, our attention is raisedabove the
limitations of ego and super-ego. Vibrations, the Brahma shakti, is the partial glimpse
of Her Cosmic form. Then, further revelations occur to us. She is leading us step

as if a tender sapling, so that their inner mechanisms become strong enough to sustain

and Shiva i.e. She Herself.
How to express gratitude for all this to Her who is the condensed form of our Spirits !
We all Sahaja Yogis kneel down in utter humility and pray: "O Mother, your form is
soothing to our inner beings, it is quenching the thirsts of our Spirits, it is fulfilling the
wishes of all great sages, saints and seekers, Kindly keep this form in good health for
years and years".

 A PRAYER
O Primordial Mother,
Let Your Blessings bestow upon me through Your Holy Vibrations,
And let Your Holiest of all Holiest names be always in my Heart,
And forgive me for offending you in thoughts, words and deeds and make me
ashamed of it,
And give me courage to forgive others as you have forgiven me,
And let your vibrations make me understand as to where I stand so that I can
plead for forgiveness to my ever loving Mother who is the Creator of this
Universe,
And finally let me thank you for all that You have given to me and pray that
Your Blessings will bestow on this poor child infinitely.

The Divine Mother says:
After realization you all had lots of knowledge () about Kundalinl and Sahaja
Yoga but without Bhakti you cannot achieve the balance. You have to get lost in
Bhakti. Bhakti enriches your feelings.
Try to feel the other Sahaja Yogis without criticising them. I am enjoying your
beings, the beauty and glory that you are. I wish you all could do that and feel like a
drop in the ocean itself. Bhakti will dissolve your angularities and impediments in the
collective oneness.
O my children, you are really born out of my Sahasrara. I conceived you in my
hear and gave you the new birth through the Brahmarandhra. The Ganges of my love
has carried you into the realm of collective consciousness.
This love is too great tor my human body. It nourishes you, soothes you and
gives you security. Gradually it opens your awareness to bliss and joy. But this love
also corrects you and prunes you It guides you and directs you. It reveals itself in the
form of true knowledge. It absorbs your shocks and settles you like a guiding leaf on
the hard surface of truth. It strengthens you to fulfil your aspirations of reaching spiri-
tual heights.
