 Editorial We have already considered in the earlier two issues, the first two verses of the hymns of Shri Dakshinamoorty. It is now proposed to study the poem in its totality in order to understand Shri Shankaracharya's philosophy. The poem presupposes, basic identity of the Atma and the Paramatma, that the universe is nothing but the Brahma, for nothing can exist outside the Brahma. The Brahma is pervading in everything in the universe and the universe is within the Brahma. The Maya exists and also does not exist at the same time. When a rope is mistaken for a snake, it is the play of Maya which creates that illusion. In reality there is no snake, but it is there as long as the idea of snake is attributed to the rope, The universe is described in the first verse in relation to the Self as reflection of a city in the mirror. As reflection is inside the mirror the universe is within the Self. Obviously like the reflection the universe is also unreal. However, it is mistaken as real and outside i.e. distinct from the Self, and in the process the cause ol the reflection, i.e. the Self. is ignored. In the verses 5 to 8 the play of Maya is elucidated. Regarding the Atma everyone is in the state of delusion; the body, sense organs, the Pranas, intellect (or the buddhi) are considered as the Atma. The universe is mistaken as real and independent of the Atma, in the course of interaction among various relationships. and the Atma is forgotten. Thus, as stated by Adi Shankaracharya, the Self is enveloped by Maya as the Sun/Moon are covered during the period of eclipse. However, it is the Self alone that becomes manifest in every state, i.e. in sleep or in wakeful state; in childhood or young or old age. The Seif remains unchanged in every change and is seen to be expressing itself as awareness. In fact, this entire world of subject-objects of differentiation and transmutation is nothing but the imagination of Maya (shakti-vilas-kalpita). This illusion is removed by the Grace of Lord Shri Dakshinamoorthy who is none else but the Atma the changeless principle in every change. It is further stated that creation and sustenance of the universe is entirely by the unimped- ed free will Swechchaya=Swa+iccha of the Paramatma or the Self. Shri Adi Shankara- Nirmala Yoga 1

 charya quotes the analogy of a juggler who creates and maintains his magical spell as long as he wishes. It is therefore seen that Maya is also the desire of the Paramatma. In Vivekachoodāmani Shri Adi Shankaracharya has described the Maya: "Avidya or the Maya, called also the "differentiated" is the power of the Lord. She is without beginning, is made of the three Gunas and is superior to them and their effects (as their cause). She is to be inferred by one of clear intellect from the effect She produces. It is She who brings forth the whole universe". It is also stated in the second verse of the hymn that before its creation the universe was latent within the Paramatma as tree in the seed. There was only the Self that had within itself the universe in the form of idea (Atma va idameka evagra aseet). The third verse tells us that Paramatma's Sphurana' (the activity, pulsation) is felt from all that is 'asat' i.e. non-self, meaning illusory. The Sat is the truth. In the process of negation for identifying 'the Sat' only awareness is left which discards everything else as non-Self. The awareness is the Chit hence the Self ie. "Sat' manifests itself as the Chit. The Chit is originated from the Sacchidananda ie, the Atma, i.e. Chaitanya. The Chaitanya is all pervading in inanimate and animate. in the former it is present as motion that keeps everything at its proper place and maintains the balance. It is the Chaitanya that bestows effulgence to the sun and the moon. In the lifteenth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, the Lord says, The effulgence inherent in the sun which enlightens the entire universe and that which exists in the moon as well as in the fire, know it as My effulgence, and entering the earth it is I who sustain all beings by my powers and becoming the nectarean moon I nourish all plants". In Her lecture on the Principle' Mother has advised that by itself the seed cannot sprout nor can it sprout just in the contact of earth or water or air. It also cannot sprout if any of the three is not there as also the Sun. Each has its own principle and these principles have a principle. Obviously it is the Chaitanya that brings about everything. In the fourth verse it is advised that Shri Dakshinamoorthy makes every visible thing seen. Indeed the light of the sun and the moon has made everything visible. Awareness to see and identify the external world is the quality of the Self but for which the world would have been like non-existent. Apparently to animals the world has no meaning except as a source instinctively used for survival. The Chaitanya that is seen in the animal and plant worlds as instinctive activity and growth becomes more pronounced in human beings through the working of Antahkarana" the inner organs. This idea is well explained in the fourth verse, with a simile of a power- ful lamp (Mahadeepa) placed into a pitcher having numerous holes-light of the lamp shines through the holes. Similarly, knowledge of the Self (or Paramatma) pulsätes through the instruments like sense organs. It is thus seen that every stage of evolution brings forth increasing manifestation of the Self; in human beings, the Sat and the Chit are expressed through the conscious use of physical and mental faculties. It is done through ego, superego, conditioning, identifica- tion etc. When human beings become Sahaja Yogis. a step further in the evolutionary process, their awareness is purified and enlightened and blessed with one more dimension of collective consciousness. Nirmala Yoga 2.

 It is also stated that the knowledge of the Self pulsates (spandate ). According to Shiva-sutras Spanda' is the primordial manifestation of conseiousness of Shiva who is all- pervading Self in Adi Shankaracharya's philosophy. Although the Self shines as awareness in human beings. the pulsation is felt by Sahaja Yogis in Sahasrara, the Peetha of Self. With that the light of the Self entightens the attention and awareness and the 'Spanda the vibrations start flowing. The blissful Spanda of the Self is thus objectively enjoyed by Sahaja Yogis and is transmitted through their beings. The third attribute of Self viz: the Anand is thus expressed. The Atma truly shines like Mahadeepa' in Sahaja Yogis. At the ultimate stage as Shri Adi Shankaracharya says, it is the realisation of Shri Dakshi- namoorty as all-pervading all-encompassing Self one and not the second (Yah Sakshatku- rute Prabodha-Samaya Swatmanamevadvayam)-However, in order to be entitled to such tremendous blessing of the Paramatma Shri Dakshinamoorty, one has to firmly imbibe in the mind, the transient and illusory nature of the universe, and hence non-involvement in it. There should be firm conviction, that Shri Dakshinamoorty is manifesting himself in eight forms viz. the earth, water, fire, air, and ether fi.e. five elements), the sun and the moon. and one's own Spirit. Shri Dakshinamoorty, is, therefore, to be worshipped in these eight forms. One can also meditate that these eight forms are within oneself on the chakras and the Spirit being Shri Shiva, and establish the doubtless state of oneness with Supreme Being. This has been described in the ninth verse wherein it is also stated that if medita- ted in this way. it is experienced that there is nothing beyond Shri Dakshinamoorty. It may be recalled that 662nd epithet of Shri Adishakti in Shri Lalita Sahasranama, is Ashtamoorty. (having eight forms) Secondly, which is most important. is complete surrender. It is stated in the third verse, that the Lord confers the knowledge (Bodhayati) on those who surrender to Him (Ashritan) of Tatwamasi i.e. the primordial principle, the oneness of the Self and the Paramatma. To be the Ashrita, is to take shelter in Him. to have nothing else to look up to. Shri Adi Shankaracharya tells us that God reveals Himself to his devotees (Bhajatam) through Bhadra mudra', with right hand raised in assurance of bestowing the complete well-being. Accord- ing to the scriptures, when great sages like Sanaka and Sanadana were unable to grasp the ultimate, Shri Shiva assumed the form of a boy of 16 years, and sitting, facing to the south, by mere deep silence was able to give them the deep ktrowledge. Therefore, all knowledge emanates from Him. The 725th epithet of Shri Adi Shakti is Shri Dakshinamoorty roopini. It is She who has assumed the form of Shri Dakshinamoorty. According to verse 11, Shri Dakshinamoorty, the consciousness condensed (Chidghana). the Supreme God (Mahesha) of the form of Sachhidananda, resides at the roots of the Banyan tree. Apparently, the banyan tree represents the tree of Life (Urdhva moolamadhah Shakham). The origin of life is the lotus feet of Sakshat Shri Dakshinamoorty roopini Shakshat Adi Shakti. The preceding two verses tell that sitting at the base of the banyan tree, and imparting the knowledge to all saints and seekers, Shri Dakshinamoorty liberates them from the sortow of life and death, The Guru Shri Dakshinamoorty, imparts the know- ledge through silence and the disciples become doubtless. The Guru is young but disciples are looking old. The sacred Knowledge is expressed and received, in silence at the highest level of con- Nirmala Yoga

 sciousness, in the state of complete oneness of the Guru and the disciples. May be, some Igreat souls, have attained that level but Sakshat Shri Dakshinamoorty, Sakshat Shri Adi Shakti, has with limitless compassion descended amongst us. The saints of modern times assemble at the places of seminar. In Her kindness Sakshat Shri Dakshinamoorty roopini Sakshat Shri Mataji imparts the subtle Divine Knowledge as understandable knowledge to them. She raises their attention in the meditations to the level of doubtless awareness, and the realisation of Tatwamasi, of the primordial principle. Those who are truely the Ashritas enjoy and fill their pitchers with the Tatwa and become the Tatwa itself. For the tatwa is nothing but Sakshat Shri Dakshinamoorty roopini. Brahma Vid Brahmo bhavati: the knower of Brahma becomes the Brahma itself. Shri Adi Shankaracharya has promised in the tenth verse, that, whereas, the primordial principle i.e. the Self of everything (Sarvātmatatwa) has been explained in these hymns, studying, reflecting and meditating on these hymns would lead the seeker to the same pri- mordial principle. This study of the hymns of Shri Dakshinamoorty is by no means com- plete. The sarvātmatatwa has always been incomprehensible to common man due to his inability to achieve that purest state of attention and inner being in which it would manifest. Great children of Shree Adi Shakti have explained it in lucid and understandable language. Now Sakshat Shri Dakshinamoorty roopini, Sakshat Shri Mataji, Herself is doing the job. May all the seekers become Her Ashritas and fill their pitchers with the nectar of primor- dial principle flowing from Her lotus feet and liberate themselves. These few lines are dedicated at the lotus feet of Sakshat Shri Dakshinamoorty, Sakshat Shri Parabrahma. Sakshat Shri Adi Shakti Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi. Nirmala Yoga

But this kind of pray- work out through your 'will'. So how power- ing can have another side, people can say ful our will should be? How dedicated we should be about our will? That, one has to know. you have to fathom out that will within explain that? They have no faith, they are you. Once you start doing this Sahaja Yoga, actually heathens, they are very successful in then you recognize how important is Sahaja life. So how do you explain that side? Yoga that it gives a real meaning to the whole creation. in the eyes of God and divine power. That has to work out-that's that were used before. Because people were the purpose of life. And surprisingly it is left to your will, not to my will. I've no will, faith, or blind-faith and the real faith. Because I've no action. So it is your will, which is going to work it out. So you have to dedi- cate. And now you have to weigh yourself: that time the faith was sustenance: How to How much Il'm willed? The seminars help sustaitn yourself? The second was to have you to see how much yau really will that faith that you will be resurrected, that you Sahaja Yoga should be successful. This is the second thing: To make it successful, what should we do? We must understand that the people who do not believe in God at all are quite successful. Then how do you Sahaja Yoga has another very great thing, that is, it is revelation of all the great terms not given realization, one could not talk of if they do not have their eyes how can you tell them about the light or the darkness?

 But first and foremost is. "You have to when you say, you want the Spirit to be become your Spirit." Without knowing the happy, what you are saying is this, that you Spirit you cannot know God. But the Spirit want your attention to be happy. If you keep itself is a sensitive thing. It is there no doubt, your attention happy and cheerful, completely it stays there no doubt, but that it should integrated with your being, not with your ego. shine in your attention. that your attention has to be congenial to the So from balancing and integration we go to Spirit. If the attention is not congenial, then third point, is discretion because you are the Spirit doesn't shine. Spirit will shine on an attention which is steady. Steady it by senior students. And now you know how to balancing, you bring a steady state. Balance be discreet. What to take, what not to your thoughts, balance your eyes, balance take. your desires. Try to balance it. Ego and super-ego, you balance it. Attention is balanced very much like that. You have to know This is where the discretion has to be used. very senior members of Sahaja Yoga, very It's very easy to criticize others, it's very easy to say others are wrong, but it should be the easiest to see what is wrong with you Now how do you do with your will? First because you cannot correct others, you can of all you desire and then you act. Where am I going? What am I doing? I am a seeker. Is this the thing I have to do as a seeker? Immediately balance will come. balancing has to come; foremost thing is to to tell the other man because she is your own. balance yourself. Any extreme behaviour In the same way it is better to correct yourself must be balanced. Any extreme attitude than to correct others. It's the easiest thing to towards life must be brought down. Now, correct yourself if you could look at your ego here we find that the will acts to oppose and which is stopping it. And who is the gainer? in an opposite direction. For become obstinate. They do not want to accept that we have to balance and they say, "Ohl I am alright," and they'll give all ex- planations to show they are alright. whom are you giving the explanations? You discretion and now with all this trainning in are fighting with yourseif. Why? Because Sahaja Yoga, you should be able to see even you are not yet integrated fully within your- rationally the discretian part of it. I've seen self. only correct yourself. It's as simple as that! Like a daughter is married ta another man, now supposing there is any problem between So this the two, it's better to tell your daughter than Who is the person who receives the benedic tion, and the bliss of Sahaja Yoga? For example people So the old habits that are within us which gives us obstinacy, must be seen with great For people who go by a same road all the time are extremely discreet, they know how to So the second point is the integration. turn, which turn to miss and which turn to Integration of your attention.

 Now how through left vishuddhi and right relationship between right vishuddhi and left vishuddhi we spoil other people? It's so evident. Supposing you have right vishuddhi sides of a coin. One side is aggressing, so on problem. In Japan I went there. Japanese the right hand side when people speak to people you know have certain ideas, in each other they oppress or aggress, they say which shyness and shame has no meaning. And a gentleman, who is the chairman of a very things they say. We have seen people talking big international company, came to see me in a hotet. And he had a big thing on his mouth white some sort of a thing like a Hanumäna. do it. Right-sided spoil the relationships by And 1 asked him, what's that supposed too much aggression, say for example one: to be? And he talked to mme and this party man will stand up and say that "I am thing was on his nose like that. I saw his the one", the another will say "I am the one". right vishuddhi was very badly caught. Still I The relationships between the political parties couidn't understand. So he said "I am sorry for this Madam, but this is there because I've another side is the one, also cannot articulate. got cold", So they put that thing on, whether you have to see the Queen or anyone. They it goes down too much, ends up in perverted will just put on that and then go and see. Because when you have cold, others catch. you find a friend came to stay and he ran That's one thing that catches the fastest. Now you had cold so I have caught. So to get a cold one learns that if somebody has this kind of a funny relationship when you cold, he himself says "Today I've got cold donot understand the purity of relationship in you don't come". If you have to give an excuse to some one that you don't want to problems. So in relationship right and left go anywhere, you say "I've got flu." Alright. vishuddhi both of them play a very big part. It's alright don't come.-Nobody bothers. vishuddhi is very close, as much as the two aggressive things. Extremely aggressive like that.-boastful, aggressive things. Left sided as I told you are the sly people, so they are ruined. They cannot articulate. The Because the relationship in the slyness when sex life. Then you go to somebody's house, away with the mother-or some sort of a nonsense like that. So on the left hand side social life, that drops down, that creates Then comes the Sahasrara. You know Sahasrara what it is. People want to judge me. They have a right to do it; I mean I can- not say no. You can judge me. You can do So this is the right vishuddhi, you can see it very clearly. But left vishuddhi you cannot see, but feel. Left vishuddhi creates all kinds of social problems. Right Vishuddhi creates what ever you like. I mean 1 cannot say that all kinds of political problems. For example you don't judge me. So we cannot say that those who have right vishuddhi are speakers. you don't judge me. I cannot say. You go on They have to talk too much.

They think they are the real Nepoleons or Shivaji ! In Marāthi we call him Shiväji, but Shivaji was a much better person than Napoleon, better to call him Napoleon. Then they start guiding you in 10 days ahead agitated it they have to go everything-"This is not good, that is not good. I am a very great Sahaja Yogi IYou going, they have forgotten everything. Because are like this,"" and all that,-and very hot tem- pered because they are fanatics. Fanaticism and temper goes together. There is no love in fanaticism. If you tell them don't be a fanatic, they will start crying. So the fanati- cism of Sahaja Yoga is most blinding. It is something like, in front of the Temple of God you beg from other people for money. Sahaja trary I play tricks that everything goes wrong Yoga is one thing which should not lead you with people like that! And I want them to to 'any' fanaticism. You have to be prasanna- learn that this is not so important: To keep chitta, (aafa) which means be a very happy, joyous personality: and not everything to God. Because you don't know a tense, abrupt person. But this only achieves that when you are in the present you are in it's maximum result when everything is done in complete innocence, So innocence keeps you in the present. Innocent man is permanently relaxed. Suppos- ing I have to go today. Alright, so l'll go at the time when I have to go, what's the use of getting agitated about it? People get even after ten days. And when it really comes to they are not in the present. So to develop your innocence also is a very good idea 'to be in the present'. At the most what's going to happen? I mean whatever has to happen will happen in any case. So why worry? I am one person who is least worried, and nothing has gone wrong with me so far. On the con you should yourself in the present is your job and leave contact with the Divine power, but when you get out of the present you are not there you are under your ego or superego. But many people confuse innocence with stupidity. They think, to be stupid is inno- So for all of you I may try just to show cent. And a stupid man gets into an ego- jua3 trip in no time. Innocence is the wisest thing. that I am also playing with you to prepare you. I am least bothered about anything what- soever. What is such a disaster you have seen in your life, just tell me. the last dissolution of the whole universe. You 'cannot befool innocence, that's the main thing. No one can befool me, I am very in- nocent. Innocence is that which does not harm anyone, that does not think that it can solve the problems, but, it leaves everything What can I fear anymore? So when you get I have seen upset, think of something very serious that has happened to you before, and then you for God to solve. It is just existence itself- in the blessings of your Mother, as Ganesha was, just living on the complete blessings of will not be so much worried about the non- His Mother. It gives you concentration. sensical little things here and there. Nirmala Yoga 16

 So miraculous things will happen, through if somebody does it. He does not mind, your innocence. The more innocent you are the more blissful you will be. because it pleases the other person. But it does not go to his head or anything. On the contrary, when you are doting on such person, you start learning Now, many people should try this thing : sitting in a group together, meditating, saying the mantra of Shri Ganesha, to try to build up. Those who think too much, they should an expert on massaging the feet. So she said also try to say "Not this, not this, not this..". "Mother, just you give me one hour one day Even the superego when it gives you thoughts, and I will come and massage your Feet, you should say "not this, this...". So you will develop that state where alright, come such and such day, And when you stand yourself, and nothing else. So the she started massaging my feet. you see, she innocence plays, but it is not involved. it said, "What is happening! It is me who is sees the play. Just sees. It enjoys the play. relaxing". Just enjoys. So today when we are thinking of Shri Ganesha, let us desire that, "Within us His great power of innocence be when you try to pamper the innocence, when enlightened". There was somebody like that-this was not this, not because I have known that art". I said So, that is the beauty of innocence, that you try to dote on the innocence. it emits the beauty. It relaxes If there is a little And He is, on the other side, the source of child, and you want to kiss the child and you love. The source of emotional security.

Because motherly "charming" also is a very funny word. one, then that should relax' that person,- Because in the west people don't understand the one who does that. But if it is the other even innocence towards children. So you way round, that the other person gets tensed have to be childlike, not childish, confusion must not be there. But some people confuse oriented, then it is all wrong, absolutely it is it. They think it should be like a big baby, upside down. You get tensed up because you see; and that you have to be treated you think nothing should displease the like a big baby all the time, from bottle feeding person, you think the person needs it. You to nappy changing,-in Marathi it is called "Motha Bal" And there's no end to it.

So just by pleasing yourself you are really But Ganesha's enchantment has dignity. pleasing the other person.-one has to see it He may lok like a child, but He is an old that way. man. He is the eldest of all. And despite all these years, he has kept His innocence intact. So sometimes people confuse it with perspective. And that is what should come overdoting or caring too much,-and the into everyone spontaneously. When that innocent person doesn't like it much. Even comes in, you become a complete persona- So this is wisdom : To see things in right 17 Nirmala Yoga

 So nothing absurd should be done. No- lity. Ganesha is sufficient to make you com- plete, because He is complete. And as it is, thing overly should be done. Because there for you people to do it. it is easier, because you are already at a point where Ganeshä is ning for nothing at all,-it is useless pleased. Or we can say that you are pleased with yourself. So one should not feel that, or should not feel bad. If someone feels hurt or something, that means there is something lacking in that person. will be remorse and unnecessary heart bur- Now. in Sahaja Yoga another very impor- tant pointI have to tell you today. which is not so much besides Shri Ganesha's point, regarding which we always make mistakes. Certainly in India there have been lots of mistakes like that: Now I give you one example of Mr. X who is a great Sahaja Yogi. in the sense that he is a great organiser, he has done this, he has doe that, and we start adoring him. Or we may be jealous. One of the two things happen, either we adore or we are jealous Now, if you adore that person, then you should follow his footsteps. And if you are jealous, then it is more reason that you comes an fabsolutely left-side character. follow his footsteps so you become like him. I Supposing before realisation he is running am talking of wisdom. Now, but instead of that Complete personality is the personality where we can say that Shri Ganesha is resi- ding with all His powers. But some people have the right Ganesha and some people have the left Ganesha powers. Both the types of powers much developed. If a man has been licentious and very fond of the other sex and all that, he gets such a rebound that he be- after women, or the girl is running after the men, all that, gets such a rebound that, he just doesn't want to do that thing, as a filth, -he thinks its filth, that is one of the feelings that come in the mind of a person, when he doesn't hanker after this kind of nonsense. Like we have horrible names like heterosexuals when you adore-even whether you are a boy or a girl, you will jump on him, you will hug him and kiss him, you do all kinds of non- sensical things.-Which is 'not needed' to expiess that way. Like it happened with me that I was in and homosexuals and all sexual sorts. When London for the first time, I'd never known all you keep a healthy company of "your' type, this, and somebody who was quite hefty just of your sex,-company-healthy and pure. It is came and hugged me, and I didn't know very natural. And the another extreme nature what was the word in this langage. So 1 should not be followed. Like, I have seen ". So it is quite funny. I am not used to kissing at all, more attached to their daughters than to their at all'. Anybody kisses me. I get a fright wives. Funny thing. It is absurd. They pay you know. I can kiss a lady or a little boy more importance to the daughters than to the that is all right. that is done, but not every wife-it is something very absurd, it is not man, I cannot kiss-it's very funny, isn't it ? So good. It's again perversion. Or the women, this kind of adoration is not very wise. Ado- they love their son more than their husband. ration is to be felt in yourheart. Like yesterday It is absurd. And once it starts working like one of the gentlemen put his hand so strong that, it can go to any absurd limit, which is on me, that for two minutes I was just trying not in the 'maryadās in a told him in marithi "Put me down among some muslims, a habit, that they are the boundaries of to put it right. And this shaking hands is Sahaja Yoga. There has to be very healthy very horrible thing. Sometimes they cannot feel relationship. Friendship. but not attachment alright unless and until they have taken about a kilo of meat out. ...And this is how some- which looks funny and absurd. Nirmala Yoga 18

 dom af Shri Ganesha was that he was surendered to his Mother, that is all; he is not bothered. And when you are surendered then you just understand that you give up times, there are no maryadas left, even among ourselves.-So there should be maryádas. Now feeling jealousy is another thing. I have seen that when people feel jealous, they start coming and complaining against this person or that person know it is. Jealousy is the worst curse ever we can have, I think. because then you can't see anything that is good. Because you see a person is normal, you feel jealous of such a person. Then you feel, you are jealous so you have every right to do what you like. You just say," I am jealous of yoU. because you are so good. So, now I can be very bad." I it started with people telling that this is jealousy which is a bad thing; it was all right. But now the bad thing is taken as blackmail. you see, you use it for blackmailing others help you to develop your Ganesha Tattva. that, "Oh, alright! 1 am a bad man, so I am a bad man. You are a good man, alright, So what?"Just like that. To use it as a power. your ego and your superego to your Mother to bother about it, and you live with your in- nocence. And to understand aiso in a very gross way, we can say, to have Ganesha tattva (Principle) developed in you, you must eat things which are emitting Ganesha Principle. Like the Chana, like, 1 have found out. the Hazelnut. Then you can see that you should use a lot of these lemons, is a good idea. mean at first All these give you a good Ganesha Tattva. So all these things should be used, and there are many other things one can see thati which But the highest of all is to control your eyes. Not to see anything that is tempting. So put your eyes on the ground. Just watch your eyes when another sex arrives, how do you look at that person, with greed, with lust.

It is ridiculous. likes. thing is physically you should try to do one or two exercises to be able to put yourself flat on the Mother Earth, because that helps. So before doing the meditation to Shri Ganesha, you must first do that exercise, to losen the muscles so that you should touch the Mother Earth in a nore flat way. It will help. So, one has to be wise. When you are dealing with it, the wisdom is your glory. By wisdam you will be fair to yourself and fair to others.

Unfortunately in the west, where Shraddhi is something very'superficial, anything like thi: takes them to something very superficial I come to you as a symbol of your Mother, anything like this takes them to something but the first son who was created was Shri very dirty, filthy, unholy. Instead of surrender Ganesh. And then, when the Mother Earth ing to the Sublime, and enjoying the greatness was created as a symbol of motherhood. She of the Sublime, they take to something very created many Shri Ganeshas in this universe. In carnal which belongs to the flesh But stil the cosmos, the star whichis called as Mars, is the people who are living in simple ways in Shri Ganesha. All these symbols were created for you the Sahaja Yogis to recognize them. To recognize all these symbols is easier if you are a realized soul. But we have had so many great realized souls in the past. of very high quality, and they recognized, they found out the symbols of Shri Ganesha, long time back. the villages, in the nature, must have realized the importance of this holy mountain. Thousands and thousands, millions of years back, the Mother Earth started producing Her Ganesha, It was first a huge ocean where Himālaya stands. Himalaya gradually started coming out of that ocean, in a flat way, like a Shiva-Lingam, which is the expression as the manifestation of the animals, they have the India is the microscopic form of the whole earth, Mother Earth. So, in the trianale of brains which are flat. But when the Himalayas Maharashtra we have got eight Ganeshas which are manifesting vibrations, and were recognized by great Saints of Maharashtra. But, as you have seen, as a grace of these great Saints, specially Maharashtra has created human beings who have SHRADDHA as the way that at certain points it rose up to a point highest expression of their emotion and mind becoming like Shri Genesha. And it was, to Because of that lofty vision in the mind begin with, of flat, again the same type. whenever they see something of this sublime nature, their thoughts go to God. Thanks to started coming out of that sea, the Mother Earth was pushed on sides. And the Mother Earth started giving folds to Her saree, you can say. Now, when that movement started. the saree gave waves of vibrations in such But then, still more folds started coming up, much later, when human brain started 20 Nirmala Yoga

By this happening in that noes into the ocean is clarified by the the Himalayas, again there was a big push sun, which is also Shri Ganesha. and is onto all the mountains which were to be brought on top of the hills and mountains to created as Shri Ganesha and they got into their final forms.

It is always aspired these Ganeshas! At the other end of these that they should climb over with their very ranges, must be the highest mountain because egoistical ambitions, of a low level and it is pushed the most. Mont-Blanc should be outward. higher than this. You see, when they pushed it, Himalaya was brought up to a point, up to a point it went, and then the waves created being would be "O God. 1 can see You in Ganesha of a certain height, not too much this sublime form, and how will I conquer my height. So it was pushed on the right hand- ignorance? How will I climb over my moun- side more, the ego went expressing in Mont- tain of arrogance to look at You?" Blanc, you see for example. And an the other side, it was created another Ganesha at the other end near Darjeeling. So Shri Ganesha the joy of the eyes, and the joy which is really was expressed even in Darjeeling, and you get the same kind of redness on that. I have seen another Shri Ganesha created in Delphi where they say is the Nabhi of the Mother are higher than you"l We had Himalayas for Earth. When you see the mountains like this, the idea that should come into a good human To an egoistical mind, the mountain is for not the Joy. but is a kind of a pleasure for them to see. Their ego gets challenged and they want to climb on the mountain. that we thousands and thousands of years in India : nobody ever thought of climbing itl When the Also when Shri Shiva Lingam is created, English came. they started doing it first time. along with Him always there is a Shri Then the French, Portugese, Spanish, all of Ganesha created, as in Amarnäth, where a drop of water falls on a particular area and creates the lingam. Plus that, another drop Why do they want to climb the mountains ? falls on another side and creates Shri Ganesha Is better to see them from a distance and exactly like the face them all did this and the Indians were looking at them bewildered," What are they doing ? ! adore them, than to climb over them to die !" Now the ocean is the Father, and the Mother Earth is your Mother. But when the in Switzerland it has gone, that they try to ski Mother Earth becomes a mountain, She is called as the Father. The reason is : She, at down; they go down in any case! And they that height, can catch the Father on top of break their legs.

Just this should happen to all compromise, which you can see in the life of the Sahaja Yogis. out of it, otherwise you cannot rise high. A a "parasha" you must know that, a terrible instrument you see, with one stroke He takes Christ. With His trunk He throws people left and right and throws them out. He sees for a So the Innocence has to be developed to while, and if people remain still half-baked have that respect; if you are not innocent, you they are thrown out of Sahaja Yoga. cannot have respect. And in the Innocence you don't think you are the wisest of all and make everybody look like a fool. Nor do you lization, you can be IN the Sahaja Yoga, if you play games and put people down.

Another thing they told me, that some people think that they are great Sahaja Yogis 22 Nirmala Yoga

 telling the other Sahaja Yogi about some- juxtaposition to rise higher than the rest of thing sensible, this fellow puts up his right them to give them a proper lead. vishuddhi, pessing it hard on him to show that "you are talking because your right vishuddhi is catching". very cunning I You are nonsense. because He is fond of forgiving, and not to play games, because you are harming Vishnu principle tries to play with them and yourself, I'm telling you now. Those who thịnk punish them or kill them. But Ganesha Tattwa they can play with the lopholes must know that there's a loop round their neck!

I can tell yOu that Shiva tolerates lot of has no compromise of any kind, and when this is going to come in that form, then there will be no compromise, no "Mataji", no crying, no argument, nothing: Shri Ganesha Himself will throw people into hell. So be careful on that! Today, in the Presence of Shri Ganesha, you have to take an oath that" Whatever is the past Any nation has any problem, any sins they have been committing or have committed of my country, I will get opposite to that!" before, should not be any more a tag with you! If a country has been cunning, then you should be innocent. If you are coming from a foxy- clan, you have to be innocent. Like you are Like I would say Indians are not very good with the money, in money matters they can be very horrid, and sometimes they create a coming from a thuggery clan, then Vou bave Problem with money matters: so, one has to to be extremely astute. If you are coming from the romantic clan, you have to be extremely only to be something innocent, but it is more pure! You have to be juxtaposition of whatever that t should be proved, that peaple should sins we are suffering from,; if you are the light know that you are innacent! Like I asked my in the darkness, yau have to be brilliant and not dark, and you have to give light in the darkness, to the dark, not to take darknessupon this would be honesty, so he answered, "This yourself ! So. if you really feel that the past of your country has been such and such, you better not in the essence of honesty." study it and know far yourself that you have to be just different. Some are comfort-loving, the essence of it. And the essence of honesty they should get out of that. Some are pleasure- is Innacence. Essence of sincerity is Innocence. loving, they should get out of that. Some are tempted with women and men and drinking Innocence is the one that gives you complete and all that, you should completely give up know that we have to be absolutely astute as far as money is concerned. It is not sufficient know that you are innocent! Like I asked my son-in law, he is a very honest man,-whether may be honesty for outside purpose, but it is So, that is how you have to be honest, in Essence of beauty, glory, is Innocence. And detachment. So, to such a symbol of Innocence and come out of it. when we bow, we must know what we have done about ourselves: Whatever has been There are deeper sins we have of cunning- your past. get out of it. Be just the opposite of ness, of aggressiveness, of slyness, all these thing what has been so bad before. Strongly against are to be studied and understood that what do all that you were before, in the darkness. That we have to do for our country is to get out of is the sign of your character, and of your it completely first of all, like the lotus out of strength, and will show to the world that your the mire. If your country is racist, then you Spirit which is enlightened within you has have to become a bsolutely a person completely given you that strength and that new dimen- integrated. Like that you have to be on the sion. Nirmala Yoga 23

 So the second oath we have to take befote will they respect. With their ego they want Shri Ganesha is that "/will be honest to myself. to judge everyone and condemn everyone. / will not deceive myself for anybody's sake." Now the third great thing about Shri Ganesha know anything. I was a stupid fool with my is that, for Him no Gods existexcept His Mother, ego." Humble down yourself in your heart, And you know all the stories about Shri Ganesh. how He adored His Mother. Because He knows His Motheris the Power, and that He is the source of your wisdom, He's the embodi- ment of wisdom, and the greatest wisdom He has: that it is better to worship the Mother than anybody else, because She is the Power.

But don't get ideas that Shri secondly Father is just the Witness. All His Ganesha is born to you. Some people have securily, all His powers, all His beauty. In- such foolish ideas, I've seen that. So, get out of itl And tell yourself:" I don't open your heart. and love each other. Respect and love are the two things you have to promise to Shri Ganesha. If you cannot do that, your ascent is going to be very difficult. May God bless you. Today I have told you about Shri Ganesha. nocence, come from His Mother. So with the third oath you have to take th.at "for us, our Mother is so powerful, why should be afraid of anything? If She is going to give us the wisdom, why should we try to seek it any where else? You are their Trust, and you have to look after them. They have to develop into Shri Ganesha's level first of all. You have to mould them into that form. And give them more peace. more attention. What I feel that chil- dern, in childhood if they are not massaged fully, they become very restless children. I appear very innocent sometimes. but My innocenbe is complete intelligence I think.

So, God is very blissful, extremely bliss- ful. We should not "remarkable." develop "at all' a feeling, that "we are special people. that is why God has blessed us, so let Mother do all the job, and we sit down and take the blessings." How much the Divine has worked so far, and is working, so dei- cately, so choosingly. And how much have we given ? But either, sometimes vwe are identified with ego, sometimes we are identified vwith the conditionings of the things that we do not identify, and sometimes we are attached to a very petty-nonsensical thing,-that'snot pro- per. And there should not be little bit hint of any ego to think that "God is so kind to us so we are something great",-it's very wrong. We have enjoyed. Alright. we are here So many people do like that, I have seen. everybody is enjoying; nice.

You won't meet 2 or 3 drunkards beating each other-nothing of the kind. So it's a very pure life here. That's a very big the ultimate outcome of our trips all over. Despite all kinds of hazardous routes and hazardous life here, we are doing very well. I must say wher see you I find you are all very good and you are very much better and it's all improved.

All this giving and taking process will work out very well, I'm sure.

You see, the developed countries are 'much more' money minded. bombarded by negativity. The other point which I wanted to tell you is that you must learn to understand that than the Indians are-its very surprising! you have come here to gain something. No- When you see the way they count their D0ay is going to gain anything out of vou, pennies it is impossible to believe that these are really developed people. They are worse than beggarS sometimes So that is what you should get out of-the money part. Money tound What's that? How is it? This is the is horrible stuff that people count.

You are students and so you have to learn some- thing, and try to develop a sense of discipline Like a disciple who receives all that is house, that's nice", you see, like that. But if you go on seeing the thing which is of no importance and loose talking about things Then we have other things like gross that do not matter with you. All these have to be given up.

She pervades and permeates all things. She is a breath of the power of God, pure emanation of the glory of the Almighty: hence nothing impure can find a way into Her. She is a reflection of the eternal light, untarnished mirror of God's active power, image of his goodness. Although alone, She can do all; Herself unchanging, she makes all things new. In each generation She passes into holy souls. She makes them friends of God and prophets; for God loves only the man who lives with Wisdom. She is indeed more splendid than the sun, She outshines all the constellations: compared with light, She takes first place. for light must yield to night. but over Wisdom evil can never triumph. She deploys Her strength from one end of the Earth to the other, ordering all things for good." JAI AGYA SOPHIA, HOLY WISDOM SAKSHAT SHRI NIRMALA MA! Nirmala Yoga 30

 Wisdom and Folly Contrasted In September 1983, in Tivoli near Rome, Shri Ganesha Pooja was celebrated in the Pre- sence of Sakshat Adi Shakti Shri Nirmala Devi Herself, as Lord Ganesha. During this ceremony an extract from the New English Bible was read, being the 8th chapter of Proverbs entitled "Wisdam and Folly contrasted" Through me princes act like princes, from me all rules on earth derive their nobility. Those who love me I love, those who search for me find me. In my hands are riches and honour, boundless wealth and the rewards of virtue. My harvest is better than gold, find gold, and my revenue better than pure silver. Ifollow the course of virtue, my path is the path of justice; I endow with riches those who love me and I will find their treasuries. "Hear how Wisdom lifts her voice and Understanding cries out. She stands at the cross-roads, by the wayside, at the top of the hill: beside the gate, at the entrance to the city, at the entry by the open gate she calls aloud : Men, it is to you I call, I appeal to every man: understand, you simple fools, what it is to be shrewd; you stupid people. understand what sense means. Listenl For I will speak clearly, you will have plain speech from me; for I speak nothing but truth and my lips detest wicked talk. All that I say is right, The Lord created me the beginning of his works, before all else that he made, long ago. Alone, I was fashioned in times long past; at the beginning, long before earth itself. When there was yet no ocean I was born, no springs brimming with water.

 Mooladhara Chakra Birmingham Seminar 20.4.1985 Today I wanted to talk about Mooladhara which is a very important subject. I think t have talked about it many a times. But., in find it difficult to feel myself. The reason is, the West I must say because of our wrong attitudes, and acceptance of wrong mental is not so sensitive, I would say.

So t also donot feel it unless Despite the fact that Kundalini has risen with whatever weaker power that Mooladhara and until it is very badly off. I mean the person had and has sustained itself, we must know that we can aiways fall in a trap to our different bifurcations which we have created before. It's a very serious matter, that the Mooladhara immediately I can feel it.

But still I cannot. Supposing you give me something, that thing is used by you. of Mooladhara entirely depends on you. And without a strong Moaladhara you cannot rise high, do what you like. Now supposing if somebody is a dis- honest person or a miserly person, or money oriented, it is very gross and you can see it so clearly. You see yourself and you get so shocked: "Why did I say such a thing? Why did I do such a thing?" But when it comes to the left side nonsense, sins because it's a damaged one. It's one which against the Mother, it's a secretive action, that's only between you and yourself. Nobody on the physical side of the Mooladhara, but knows what goes on in your mind, excent on the emotional side as we call the "Mana you.

And it is more a mental activity, attention towards a sane married life. But "mental", meaning the emotional side. You that also should not be too much. Because what I have learnt now, that in the West In have to watch your mind. very funny word "mind“ is. people have devised methods of transferring that attention from one person to another. Mental acrobatics of different type they have devised to destroy their pure attention. Don't But, "Mana", through which we cater to our emotional side, to our desires, where is it going? Where is this movement of our mind? What is it doing? You have to stand against play onto these. your mind, stand against your desires, or you can face it and see for yourself clearly what's happening. There are so many other things by which we express that we are still under the trap of bad Mooladhara. The way you dress up, the way you walk, the way you sit. the way you talk, the way you behave, to impress other people. I am to be impressed by other people in Sahaja Yoga itself. The only impression that should really work is the height of ascent that ethers have achieved. You can do it, it's not difficult. When the Kundalini can rise with alt shattered Moola- It's for you to decide. Nobody is going to correct you on this point. 1 know you people have been confessing to me, I never read your letters, to be very frank. Whatever letters you sent, I would not read them. Whatever confessions you have made, I burnt all those letters. I haven't got any idea as to what you wrote. Nor do I want to know about it. That's not my concern. My concern is that, now do not dwell upon the same ideas, on the same level. Or on any level dharas, I'm sure you can cure your Moola- dhara completely. But your question is first of all of strengthening the Mooladhara, for which I think you all have to go inta a kind of tapasyā. whatsoever, we can say. That's why I say sometimes that the Western people should take to less of meat, It is in thoughtless awareness you can combat the thoughts that come to you from wrong type of Mooladhara.

But what about us, we are so many, well what sort of a thing it was, this fellow was up to, and I accepted the nonsense he people sensibly, talk to these Anglicans, find did and many other things. I accepted just to show that I am nothing special. But I knew what you have found out. You need not say all about it. When I saw the way Christ was in the beginning only that described, I was aghast!

Now if this fellow he goes on like this, those who are half-baked will fall off to Communism, and the rest of them who may remain also, they much more sensible people than you are. I thing like that? At this moment we have an what is God, what is Christ, what is religion. One side I feel very hurt and unhappy-I think these three days I have gone through real Resurrection myself.

Find out how they create a platform out of nothing, like these punks, The situation has improved a lot because now I have to go to India as you know. and in India, for me, the situation is much better.

What is the light here, also you have to show. know anything about Sahaja Yoga. Even in Only a few people know what is Sahaja Yoga - the rest of you do not know anything. Let us see what questions we have in our minds. Let us sit down and find out what are the Sahaja Yoga, they don't understand what the questions, what questions are we lacking in, what we have to understand in Sahaja Yoga. What part we don't know. Let's find out all those things, all the details. Let us write it down. "Everyone" of you. Whether it is a woman, man, child, everyone can do it. Find out what are the questions which are not yet answered in Sahaja Yoga. How can we ans- wer particular questions? Alright.

Everyone has to do it. You must all be very good book. Of course, most of it I have equipped. If anybody asks you a question on Sahaja Yoga and you cannot answer, I mean how can you convince people. You take one ordinary so-called layman from. Christianity,-so-called Christianity again, Another thing I would suggest that we should have regular classes, to understand Sahaja Yoga properly. I have seen some people who are Sahaja Yogis for years, don't Bombay, people told that some of the ladies are absolutely zero as far as Sahaja Yoga is concerned. They don't understand what is chakras are. They listen to your lecture and then. just like a bubble, everything disappears from their minds. 1 don't know who gave them these ideas, but they were quite shock- ed. So let us have a class-like thing for Sahaja Yogis, on different topics and subjects let us work it out: Mahajan called 'Gita Enlightened' which is a helped him, he has been with me and all that, but doesn't matter, but he has understood the subiect.

 atmosphere against Christ So we have to fight and that is how we should become the people the man is layman and the Christianity is also lay. He will give a big lecture on Christ. Every verse in the Bible he will tell you. who are fighting for Christ "Chapters, Matthew 2, Verse 2, this is what Christ has said. That you will be calling me Christ, Christ and I will not recognise you telling about himself only So you have to be do not know much about Christ. That we absolutely equipped for it: Now you also have to go to other books to find out who have to know what you will confront in a par- ticular country. For example, when I come to have to go much deeper. We have to prove England, I know I have to confront these that there is Divine power. And you have theologians and the Christ and everything. If seen how Divine power works. What wonders I go to India, I know what have to confront. I have to face it on different lines and different them these are the photographs, can you fronts.

You take my photographs. Show to be seen in the right perspective and at the that point. That is the way Sahaja Yoga is. Hit the point when it is to be hit. If you cannot do that way you cannot achieve. So this is the right time for you, there äre 3 I am going away, as I told you to India, months ahead of you, I would like you to see and I don't know when I will be back.

 Her Holiness Mataji Nirmala Devi CARDIFF PUBLIC PROGRAMME 8 August 1984 "The Knowledge of the Roots" I bow to all the seekers of truth. It gives the Roots within ourselves and within our me immense pleasure to come to Cardiff society, within human beings as a whole. again for this programme of Sahaja Yoga. They must have explained to you what is Sahaja Yoga. That is, 'Saha" is 'with' and Ja is bornit is born with you and all of us have a birth right to get this spontaneous yoga, that is the union with the Divine. Ascent to the Divine is our birth right. Only don't know where to look, what to see, the Now we have to realise that we have come to this state of human awareness up to a point where we find we are lost. These days in the modern times, we are very much confused because there are so many ideas afloat. All these ideas confuse us and we thing we must reach that state of awareness where we become aware of higher seeking drastically that it is difficult for us to keep up within us.

Despite all that, it seems that there must be some hope for us: after all God, God who has created this Universe must be worried about this creation. After tise only our worrying about it, or being aware of the shocks, the future shocks that we may receive because of the mistakes we have committed before. It is He who has Many people have no idea as to what to made us and it is He who works out every- expect and also they are quite naive about thing for us. For example, we believe that we the structure or the nature of this tree of life do this and we do that. What we do is the which is built within us. Now what I'm going work of the dead to the dead.

Just see, Greeks knew about it, that's why they called this bone as sacrum. But what is this bone in the biblical understan- out of the body but when the foetus is it is fully matured. This is such a remarkable or other we take everything for granted Human beings if they look at themselves, they'll be amazed how beautifully we are made. This is something special about us. ding-it is the reflection of the Holy Ghost. We know so many things more than the we have to understand that if there is a An animal can pass through a animals do. Father God and a Son-there has to be a Mother. So this is the primordial Mother who is the Holy Ghost and She is reflected within us as the Kundalini. In our heart is reflected dirty lane, he cannot understand any architec- ture, he cannot understand any colours, any beauty, but we human beings have so many ideas and also abstract ideas. But beyond the God Almighty. It is He who is the witness this is a state where you reach into an absolute state-so far still we live in a relative world. Whatever we know is so relative that it is difficult to decide really what is right and what is wrong. Relatively we can say alright, this is little right and this is little wrong. But we cannot absolutely say that this is right and this is wrong. Here then we start thinking-are we really fully evolved? We are not. We are not evolved. And when of whatever we are doing. This power manif- ests everything within us and then resides in a sleeping state in that triangular bone and is said to be residual because it has not yet manifested itself. This is the power of our desire which is true and the only desire we have which is pure, Because all other desires are not true. If they were true, any one of them when satisfied, we would not have desired for anything else. But it is not so- as you know in economics that wants in general are not satiable. So you want to have something today, then we want to have another thing tomorrow. But once the desire of beco- I say this you shauld take it as an hypothesis with a very open mind of a scientist. And then if it is proved you have to accept it as a law, not before that. It is very hard to believe that we can ming one with the Divine manifests then you become the Spirit. This is one of the big don't want anything-you want to give.

Fm just a catalyst you can say, like ane enlightened light can enlighten another one. or a mental projection. Because mental pro- jection can disappear in no time. Like you would believe that this particular person is my friend but you discover that he is not and the whole mental projection drops out So all mental projections are artificial, they last for a short time and disappear. But this is a happening that has to take place within us when we become the Spirit. It is the question of you feeling that Spirit on your central nervous system. and once you are enlightened. you can enlighten another person. That is how it is. So there is no obligation. There is no give and take. It's like we are part and parcel of the whole. Now we have, say, a problem on So in our evolutionary pr0- cess whatever happened to us has happened a linger. What do we do? We just rub that to our central nervous system, and that is finger and find that we feel better. But have we any way obliged this finger?

The Void (Europe) as to be somewhat cleared, the Nabhi (right: France/Germany, left: Austria/Italy) and the Heart (left: England) has to be strengthened before Vishuddhi (USA) can mainfest; before the Kundalini (India) can express the full strength of her ascending power. Thus Shri Mataji gave special care and attention to the European organs of the Viratakalki to come. Here are a few recollections. Sahasrara day 1985 in Vienna. Tremendous. The bandhan from Shri Mataji digs a hole in the heavy rain clouds which were hanging over the city. All around: clouds. On Vienna: sunshine and blue sky. In the castle of the born realised Empress Maria-Theresia. Shri Mataji tells us we have to settle down in our own dimension that is nirvikalpa samadhi. Sunshine, sahasrara shine, sun sahasrara. Sahaja Yoga in Austria is: doing well with the fourth ashram soon opening in Vienna and Herbert opening a new center in the city of Graz. In Munich (Germany), Hugo and his group held the fort. Ganesha puja in Rome. A bath of overflowing bhajans and devotion. I missed it, alas, but could escort Shri Mataji in Venice a few days later. where huge crowds had been drawn to Her programme by positive Italian radio and television reporting. In the mean- time, programmes and seminars organized by Yogis in Mailand and Venice have been successful. Guru puja 1985 near Paris witnessed the wrath of the SatgurJ. Awesome. But since then, France, with Patrick as a new leader. has improved a lot. There is also, in the congress house in Versailles, a nice inaugural ceremony for the French new version of "the Advent", Mr. C.P. Shrivastava carries the hall with a confident, forceful statement on Sahaja Yoga's crucial role in today's troubled world. Shri Mataji Rajya Laxshmi is royal as ever. The book which is published commercially, sells well. In the summer, two major pujas take place in England. A Ganesha puja again, in Brighton and the Vishnumaya puja in Wimbledon. Brighton station resounds with the conches, the cheers, the jai jai kar and the songs of hundreds of sahaja yogis. Both the speeches of Shri Mataji must be meditated upon by all of us, again and again. Switzerland had been blessed in 1984 by two pujas in the mountains: Guru puja in Leysin and Ganesha puja at the feet of a titanic Swayambhu Ganesha, the Matterhorn (meaning: "the Mother's top"). the most famous mountain of Europe. In 1985 again, Shri Mataji graces us with a Navratri puja in Weggis, at the geographic and historical core of the country. The Goddess seats on the tiger, holds the swords and...a gun! The Havan is out of the world, higher on the mountain, above a sea of clouds. The Swiss nucleus of sahaja yogis is good but Swiss people are still very slow in opening themselves to Reality. Durga's coming helped to clear out a lot of poisons (Switzerland being the gall-bladder).

Finally, Mother, during a shopping evening, buys (very cheaply) the same (superb) pair of shoes to Guido. Engelbert and myself. We hard ly dare to walk in it. Caneshi Seminars deserve a special mention as an effective tool for strengthening inner growth and collective developments. The third European seminar near Colmar, in April 1986, is attended by around 400 people from more than ten nations. Great vibrations, great fun. With a puja to Shri Vishnu, this encounter is conceived as a preparation for the sixteenth Sahasrara iday. About 600 yogis and yoginis flocked to this extraordinary ceremony in the Italian alps. near the Swiss border, in a region which had already been graced in September 1984, by an Ekadesha Rudra puja to Shri Mataji. An anticyclone arrived from England, at the same time as Shri Mataji, to blow away eastwards the radioactive cloud which was drifting over Europe after the nuclear catastrophy of Chernobyl in the USSR. When Shri Mataji artives to the place, between two meter high walls of snow all the conches blow triumphantly, the smog clears out and a touch of sunshine lights up fifteen meters golden statue of the Goddess as "Our Lady of Europe" which overlooks the site. This same night, we all enjoy a unique session of bhajans and dances, vibrant with love and intensity, and of a high musical quality. Songs of praises from all the countries, including Algeria and Spain, are offered to the Lotus Feet of the Divine Mother. She is prasanna. And we all beam like... children of God. During Her puja speech. Shri Mataji stresses how important it is for us to drop all the concepts of the Unconscious within. To evolve from self knowledge to self consciousness, we are to be more awake, more alert by activating our witness power. The brain represents the principle of Shri Vishnu, which in the sahasrara of the true yogi. is totally surrenderted to Adi Shakti. Last but not least I have to say a word about our hosts. In presenting a beautiful programme of songs and dance, in decorating the puja hall with exquisite taste, in organiz- ing everything so smoothly, the Italian sahaja yogis deserve our admiration. We really feel that sahaja yoga is on the move in Italy.

 Editorial
We have already considered in the earlier two issues, the first two verses of the hymns of
Shri Dakshinamoorty. It is now proposed to study the poem in its totality in order to
understand Shri Shankaracharya's philosophy. The poem presupposes, basic identity of the
Atma and the Paramatma, that the universe is nothing but the Brahma, for nothing can exist
outside the Brahma. The Brahma is pervading in everything in the universe and the universe
is within the Brahma. The Maya exists and also does not exist at the same time. When a
rope is mistaken for a snake, it is the play of Maya which creates that illusion. In reality
there is no snake, but it is there as long as the idea of snake is attributed to the rope,
The universe is described in the first verse in relation to the Self as reflection of a city
in the mirror. As reflection is inside the mirror the universe is within the Self. Obviously
like the reflection the universe is also unreal. However, it is mistaken as real and outside i.e.
distinct from the Self, and in the process the cause ol the reflection, i.e. the Self. is ignored.
In the verses 5 to 8 the play of Maya is elucidated. Regarding the Atma everyone is
in the state of delusion; the body, sense organs, the Pranas, intellect (or the buddhi) are
considered as the Atma. The universe is mistaken as real and independent of the Atma, in
the course of interaction among various relationships. and the Atma is forgotten. Thus, as
stated by Adi Shankaracharya, the Self is enveloped by Maya as the Sun/Moon are covered
during the period of eclipse. However, it is the Self alone that becomes manifest in every
state, i.e. in sleep or in wakeful state; in childhood or young or old age. The Seif remains
unchanged in every change and is seen to be expressing itself as awareness. In fact, this
entire world of subject-objects of differentiation and transmutation is nothing but the
imagination of Maya (shakti-vilas-kalpita). This illusion is removed by the Grace of Lord
Shri Dakshinamoorthy who is none else but the Atma the changeless principle in every
change.
It is further stated that creation and sustenance of the universe is entirely by the unimped-
ed free will Swechchaya=Swa+iccha of the Paramatma or the Self. Shri Adi Shankara-
Nirmala Yoga

 1985_Nirmala_Yoga_E_(Scan)_VI.pdf-page-3.txt 
 charya quotes the analogy of a juggler who creates and maintains his magical spell as long
as he wishes. It is therefore seen that Maya is also the desire of the Paramatma. In
Vivekachoodāmani Shri Adi Shankaracharya has described the Maya: "Avidya or the Maya,
called also the "differentiated" is the power of the Lord. She is without beginning, is
made of the three Gunas and is superior to them and their effects (as their cause). She is to
be inferred by one of clear intellect from the effect She produces. It is She who brings
forth the whole universe". It is also stated in the second verse of the hymn that before its
creation the universe was latent within the Paramatma as tree in the seed. There was only
the Self that had within itself the universe in the form of idea (Atma va idameka evagra
aseet).
The third verse tells us that Paramatma's Sphurana' (the activity, pulsation) is felt from
all that is 'asat' i.e. non-self, meaning illusory. The Sat is the truth. In the process of
negation for identifying 'the Sat' only awareness is left which discards everything else as
non-Self. The awareness is the Chit hence the Self ie. "Sat' manifests itself as the Chit.
The Chit is originated from the Sacchidananda ie, the Atma, i.e. Chaitanya.
The Chaitanya is all pervading in inanimate and animate. in the former it is present as
motion that keeps everything at its proper place and maintains the balance. It is the
Chaitanya that bestows effulgence to the sun and the moon. In the lifteenth chapter of the
Bhagavad Gita, the Lord says, The effulgence inherent in the sun which enlightens the
entire universe and that which exists in the moon as well as in the fire, know it as My
effulgence, and entering the earth it is I who sustain all beings by my powers and becoming
the nectarean moon I nourish all plants". In Her lecture on the Principle' Mother has
advised that by itself the seed cannot sprout nor can it sprout just in the contact of earth or
water or air. It also cannot sprout if any of the three is not there as also the Sun. Each
has its own principle and these principles have a principle. Obviously it is the Chaitanya
that brings about everything.
In the fourth verse it is advised that Shri Dakshinamoorthy makes every visible thing
seen. Indeed the light of the sun and the moon has made everything visible. Awareness
to see and identify the external world is the quality of the Self but for which the world would
have been like non-existent. Apparently to animals the world has no meaning except as a
source instinctively used for survival.
The Chaitanya that is seen in the animal and plant worlds as instinctive activity and
growth becomes more pronounced in human beings through the working of Antahkarana"
the inner organs. This idea is well explained in the fourth verse, with a simile of a power-
ful lamp (Mahadeepa) placed into a pitcher having numerous holes-light of the lamp
shines through the holes. Similarly, knowledge of the Self (or Paramatma) pulsätes
through the instruments like sense organs.
It is thus seen that every stage of evolution brings forth increasing manifestation of the
Self; in human beings, the Sat and the Chit are expressed through the conscious use of
physical and mental faculties. It is done through ego, superego, conditioning, identifica-
tion etc. When human beings become Sahaja Yogis. a step further in the evolutionary
process, their awareness is purified and enlightened and blessed with one more dimension
of collective consciousness.

 1985_Nirmala_Yoga_E_(Scan)_VI.pdf-page-4.txt 
 It is also stated that the knowledge of the Self pulsates (spandate ). According to
Shiva-sutras Spanda' is the primordial manifestation of conseiousness of Shiva who is all-
pervading Self in Adi Shankaracharya's philosophy. Although the Self shines as awareness
in human beings. the pulsation is felt by Sahaja Yogis in Sahasrara, the Peetha of Self.
With that the light of the Self entightens the attention and awareness and the 'Spanda
the vibrations start flowing. The blissful Spanda of the Self is thus objectively enjoyed by
Sahaja Yogis and is transmitted through their beings. The third attribute of Self viz: the
Anand is thus expressed. The Atma truly shines like Mahadeepa' in Sahaja Yogis.
At the ultimate stage as Shri Adi Shankaracharya says, it is the realisation of Shri Dakshi-
namoorty as all-pervading all-encompassing Self one and not the second (Yah Sakshatku-
rute Prabodha-Samaya Swatmanamevadvayam)-However, in order to be entitled to such
tremendous blessing of the Paramatma Shri Dakshinamoorty, one has to firmly imbibe in the
mind, the transient and illusory nature of the universe, and hence non-involvement in it.
There should be firm conviction, that Shri Dakshinamoorty is manifesting himself in eight
forms viz. the earth, water, fire, air, and ether fi.e. five elements), the sun and the moon.
and one's own Spirit. Shri Dakshinamoorty, is, therefore, to be worshipped in these eight
forms. One can also meditate that these eight forms are within oneself on the chakras
and the Spirit being Shri Shiva, and establish the doubtless state of oneness with Supreme
Being.
This has been described in the ninth verse wherein it is also stated that if medita-
ted in this way. it is experienced that there is nothing beyond Shri Dakshinamoorty. It may
be recalled that 662nd epithet of Shri Adishakti in Shri Lalita Sahasranama, is Ashtamoorty.
(having eight forms)
Secondly, which is most important. is complete surrender. It is stated in the third verse,
that the Lord confers the knowledge (Bodhayati) on those who surrender to Him (Ashritan)
of Tatwamasi i.e. the primordial principle, the oneness of the Self and the Paramatma. To
be the Ashrita, is to take shelter in Him. to have nothing else to look up to. Shri Adi
Shankaracharya tells us that God reveals Himself to his devotees (Bhajatam) through Bhadra
mudra', with right hand raised in assurance of bestowing the complete well-being. Accord-
ing to the scriptures, when great sages like Sanaka and Sanadana were unable to grasp the
ultimate, Shri Shiva assumed the form of a boy of 16 years, and sitting, facing to the south,
by mere deep silence was able to give them the deep ktrowledge. Therefore, all knowledge
emanates from Him. The 725th epithet of Shri Adi Shakti is Shri Dakshinamoorty roopini.
It is She who has assumed the form of Shri Dakshinamoorty.
According to verse 11, Shri Dakshinamoorty, the consciousness condensed (Chidghana).
the Supreme God (Mahesha) of the form of Sachhidananda, resides at the roots of the
Banyan tree. Apparently, the banyan tree represents the tree of Life (Urdhva moolamadhah
Shakham). The origin of life is the lotus feet of Sakshat Shri Dakshinamoorty roopini
Shakshat Adi Shakti. The preceding two verses tell that sitting at the base of the banyan
tree, and imparting the knowledge to all saints and seekers, Shri Dakshinamoorty liberates
them from the sortow of life and death, The Guru Shri Dakshinamoorty, imparts the know-
ledge through silence and the disciples become doubtless. The Guru is young but disciples
are looking old.
The sacred Knowledge is expressed and received, in silence at the highest level of con-

 sciousness, in the state of complete oneness of the Guru and the disciples. May be, some
Igreat souls, have attained that level but Sakshat Shri Dakshinamoorty, Sakshat Shri Adi
Shakti, has with limitless compassion descended amongst us. The saints of modern times
assemble at the places of seminar. In Her kindness Sakshat Shri Dakshinamoorty roopini
Sakshat Shri Mataji imparts the subtle Divine Knowledge as understandable knowledge to
them. She raises their attention in the meditations to the level of doubtless awareness,
and the realisation of Tatwamasi, of the primordial principle. Those who are truely the

tatwa is nothing but Sakshat Shri Dakshinamoorty roopini. Brahma Vid Brahmo bhavati:
the knower of Brahma becomes the Brahma itself.
Shri Adi Shankaracharya has promised in the tenth verse, that, whereas, the primordial
principle i.e. the Self of everything (Sarvātmatatwa) has been explained in these hymns,
studying, reflecting and meditating on these hymns would lead the seeker to the same pri-
mordial principle. This study of the hymns of Shri Dakshinamoorty is by no means com-
plete. The sarvātmatatwa has always been incomprehensible to common man due to his
inability to achieve that purest state of attention and inner being in which it would manifest.
Great children of Shree Adi Shakti have explained it in lucid and understandable language.
Now Sakshat Shri Dakshinamoorty roopini, Sakshat Shri Mataji, Herself is doing the job.
May all the seekers become Her Ashritas and fill their pitchers with the nectar of primor-
dial principle flowing from Her lotus feet and liberate themselves.
These few lines are dedicated at the lotus feet of Sakshat Shri Dakshinamoorty, Sakshat
Shri Parabrahma. Sakshat Shri Adi Shakti Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi.

The following lines are taken from "the Book of Wisdom" in the Old Testament
They were spoken by King Solomon and written around 100 B.C-
THE APPEAL TO DIVINE WISDOM
King Solomon:
"May God grant me to speak as he would wish
and express thoughts worthy of his gifts.,
since he himself is the guide of wisdom,
since he directs the sages.
We are indeed in his hand. we ourselves and our words
with all our understanding. foe, and technical knowledge.
It was he who gave me true knowledge of all that is,
who taught me the structure of the world and the properties of the elements,
the beginning, end and middle of the times,
the alternation of the solstices and the succession of the seasons,
the revolution of the year and the position of the stars,
the natures of animals and the instincts of wild beasts,
the powers of spirits and the mental processes of men,
the varieties of plants and the medical properties of roots.
All that is hidden, all that is plain, I have come to know.

"For within Her is a spirit intelligent. holy.

lucid, invulnerable, benevolent. sharp.
irresistible; beneficient, loving to man,
steadfast, depéndable, unperturbed

for Wisdom is quicker to move than any motion:
She is so pure. She pervades and permeates all things.
She is a breath of the power of God,
pure emanation of the glory of the Almighty:
hence nothing impure can find a way into Her.
She is a reflection of the eternal light,
untarnished mirror of God's active power,
image of his goodness.
Although alone, She can do all;
Herself unchanging, she makes all things new.
In each generation She passes into holy souls.
She makes them friends of God and prophets;
for God loves only the man who lives with Wisdom.
She is indeed more splendid than the sun,
She outshines all the constellations:
compared with light, She takes first place.
for light must yield to night.
but over Wisdom evil can never triumph.
She deploys Her strength from one end of the Earth to the other,
ordering all things for good."

 Wisdom and Folly Contrasted
In September 1983, in Tivoli near Rome, Shri Ganesha Pooja was celebrated in the Pre-
sence of Sakshat Adi Shakti Shri Nirmala Devi Herself, as Lord Ganesha.
During this ceremony an extract from the New English Bible was read, being the 8th
chapter of Proverbs entitled "Wisdam and Folly contrasted"
Through me princes act like princes,
from me all rules on earth derive their nobility.
Those who love me I love,
those who search for me find me.
In my hands are riches and honour,
boundless wealth and the rewards of virtue.
My harvest is better than gold, find gold,
and my revenue better than pure silver.
Ifollow the course of virtue,
my path is the path of justice;
I endow with riches those who love me
and I will find their treasuries.
"Hear how Wisdom lifts her voice
and Understanding cries out.
She stands at the cross-roads,
by the wayside, at the top of the hill:
beside the gate, at the entrance to the city,
at the entry by the open gate she calls aloud :

umentous pujas and public programmes with Shri Bhagavati Mataji. The Void (Europe)
as to be somewhat cleared, the Nabhi (right: France/Germany, left: Austria/Italy) and the
Heart (left: England) has to be strengthened before Vishuddhi (USA) can mainfest; before
the Kundalini (India) can express the full strength of her ascending power. Thus Shri
Mataji gave special care and attention to the European organs of the Viratakalki to come.
Here are a few recollections.
Sahasrara day 1985 in Vienna. Tremendous. The bandhan from Shri Mataji digs a
hole in the heavy rain clouds which were hanging over the city. All around: clouds. On
Vienna: sunshine and blue sky. In the castle of the born realised Empress Maria-Theresia.
Shri Mataji tells us we have to settle down in our own dimension that is nirvikalpa
samadhi. Sunshine, sahasrara shine, sun sahasrara. Sahaja Yoga in Austria is: doing
well with the fourth ashram soon opening in Vienna and Herbert opening a new center in
the city of Graz. In Munich (Germany), Hugo and his group held the fort.
Ganesha puja in Rome. A bath of overflowing bhajans and devotion. I missed it,
alas, but could escort Shri Mataji in Venice a few days later. where huge crowds had been
drawn to Her programme by positive Italian radio and television reporting. In the mean-
time, programmes and seminars organized by Yogis in Mailand and Venice have been
successful.
Guru puja 1985 near Paris witnessed the wrath of the SatgurJ. Awesome. But since
then, France, with Patrick as a new leader. has improved a lot. There is also, in the
congress house in Versailles, a nice inaugural ceremony for the French new version of "the
Advent", Mr. C.P. Shrivastava carries the hall with a confident, forceful statement on
Sahaja Yoga's crucial role in today's troubled world. Shri Mataji Rajya Laxshmi is royal as
ever. The book which is published commercially, sells well.
In the summer, two major pujas take place in England. A Ganesha puja again, in
Brighton and the Vishnumaya puja in Wimbledon. Brighton station resounds with the
conches, the cheers, the jai jai kar and the songs of hundreds of sahaja yogis. Both the
speeches of Shri Mataji must be meditated upon by all of us, again and again.
Switzerland had been blessed in 1984 by two pujas in the mountains: Guru puja in
Leysin and Ganesha puja at the feet of a titanic Swayambhu Ganesha, the Matterhorn
(meaning: "the Mother's top"). the most famous mountain of Europe. In 1985 again,
Shri Mataji graces us with a Navratri puja in Weggis, at the geographic and historical core
of the country. The Goddess seats on the tiger, holds the swords and...a gun! The Havan
is out of the world, higher on the mountain, above a sea of clouds. The Swiss nucleus of
sahaja yogis is good but Swiss people are still very slow in opening themselves to Reality.
Durga's coming helped to clear out a lot of poisons (Switzerland being the gall-bladder).

Seminars deserve a special mention as an effective tool for strengthening inner growth
and collective developments. The third European seminar near Colmar, in April 1986, is
attended by around 400 people from more than ten nations. Great vibrations, great fun.
With a puja to Shri Vishnu, this encounter is conceived as a preparation for the sixteenth
Sahasrara iday.
About 600 yogis and yoginis flocked to this extraordinary ceremony in the Italian alps.
near the Swiss border, in a region which had already been graced in September 1984, by
an Ekadesha Rudra puja to Shri Mataji. An anticyclone arrived from England, at the same
time as Shri Mataji, to blow away eastwards the radioactive cloud which was drifting over
Europe after the nuclear catastrophy of Chernobyl in the USSR. When Shri Mataji artives to
the place, between two meter high walls of snow all the conches blow triumphantly, the
smog clears out and a touch of sunshine lights up fifteen meters golden statue of the
Goddess as "Our Lady of Europe" which overlooks the site. This same night, we all enjoy
a unique session of bhajans and dances, vibrant with love and intensity, and of a
high
musical quality. Songs of praises from all the countries, including Algeria and Spain, are
offered to the Lotus Feet of the Divine Mother. She is prasanna. And we all beam like...
children of God.
During Her puja speech. Shri Mataji stresses how important it is for us to drop all the
concepts of the Unconscious within. To evolve from self knowledge to self consciousness,
we are to be more awake, more alert by activating our witness power. The brain represents
the principle of Shri Vishnu, which in the sahasrara of the true yogi. is totally surrenderted
to Adi Shakti.
Last but not least I have to say a word about our hosts. In presenting a beautiful
programme of songs and dance, in decorating the puja hall with exquisite taste, in organiz-
ing everything so smoothly, the Italian sahaja yogis deserve our admiration. We really feel
that sahaja yoga is on the move in Italy. A TV journalist, a saleswoman in a shop
