 Shri Krishna Puja Nirmal Nagri Canajoharie, New York, USA, 29 July, 2001 (Pravachana of Her Holiness Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi) Today we have gathered here to time, when you see Him advising worship Shri Krishna, the one who was Arjuna, it is very surprising that here Virata, who fought all kinds of evil he is talking only of spirituality, of without entering into the arena. Shri complete detachment and there He is Krishna's life itself is very beautiful, telling Arjuna that "You go and fight. They are already dead people. Whom creative and loving thing. But to understand Him, it is not easy. For are you fighting?" This conflict is difficult to example, in Kurukshetra, where the understand, that how could Shri war was going on and Arjuna became depressed and he said that "Why Krishna, the same person who is preaching that you all have to become should we fight, fight our own kith and kin, fight our own close relations, sthitapragya, suddenly starts telling friends and our gurus? Is it religion? is Arjuna that you go and fight the foes. One side it is complete detachment it dharma?" Before that, in Gita, Shri and another side is the war! "How will Krishna has described a personality you explain this?" In Shri Krishna's which is a sage. We can call him a saint, or He called it Sthitapragya. So own words, one can say, that once you when asked what is the definition of are a realized soul and you have the Sthitapragya, the description He reached that highest position in your awareness, to you everything is futile. gave was about a person who is But just now, what you have to do is to absolutely at peace with himself and at save the dharma - not the dharma that peace with his atmosphere. It is very surprising. All this people talk about, but the dharma means evolutionary process of human knowledge He gave in the first place in Gita. That is - that is the best, that He beings which is going on and if all the called as the Gyanamarga. That is good people, those who stand for Sahaja Yoga, by which you get the righteousness, are finished, then how will this evolutionary power be saved? subtle knowledge. But at the same

 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIV Issue 1 & 2 Jan.-Feb. 2002 2. kinds of rituals, everything, and you So you have to save them and for that, think that you are very close to God. if you have to kill, you don't kill This is one, which is being accepted by dead anybody, they're already many, many people and by many so- because they're not evolved souls and called religions, that we must have they don't care for their Realization. So you have to fight them. You complete dedication for God. How can have to fight the negative forces. You you you are not yet connected to have to fight the wrongdoers. All this God. How are you doing? How can He explains in a very beautiful you have any dedication to God, with manner, that we have within us three whom you are not at all connected? The second one was the karma, that kinds of powers, which we also know, and by the middle one that we have, you do your work. You go on doing we rise above all these material, your work with a detached mind. I physical, mental, emotional - all these mean it's not possible, but that's what problems facing us into a new realm of they say and we are doing our karmas, good karmas, we do all kinds of good spirituality. And that's what He wanted to save from the cruel people, from things, go to various places for our aggressive, who were also cleansing, meet many great people of the misleading others. It's a very good spirituality, go to all various places and pray. Visit all auspicious places which understanding, if you have, that who is your relation., who is your brother, who are being described. All kinds of is your sister? Those who are evolved rituals, we do for that. That is the karma yoga. And that is souls are your relations. They are your own and for them, if you have to fight what the karma yoga, according to us, is the right side. the people who are aggressive people, Many people, as you know, are you better do it. You have to do it. That right-sided. Right-sided people are is the way of dharma. So we have three paths, as you the people who are, as you know, fll know, in Sahaja Yoga. The one is of of ego, arrogance and think no end of - very difficult to correct Bhakti. Bhakti is where you sing the themselves praise of God, have devotion, do all them. They also never see anything

 Jan.-Feb. 2002 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIV Issue 1 & 2 stage you are equipped with the divine wrong with them. Whichever way they power that you can finish off anything act, they think is all right. That is the karma yoga, but He has said that that is negative around you. whatever karmas you do, whatever its This is to be understood that that's a state. That's not just talking, That's fruits are, that you cannot say. He said not just believing that I am that, but it's it in a very uncertain manner because a state. If you come up to that state definitely, if He had said it with where you are beyond all these things certainty, people would never have understood Him. So He said it is not and you have all the knowledge, pure knowledge, the subtle knowledge of possible that whatever karmas you are doing could be the karmas which will being, this is the Gyanamarg. Many the blessings of the people say that everybody cannot go get you to Gyanamarg and, for that, you have Dívine...'Karmanyevadhikaraste Ma to have a special type of personality, Phaleshu Kadachana', He has said it. but this is very misleading. Every one So then, which karmas we should do? Or should we give up all the can go into Gyanamarg. It is very, very karmas? All the action, we should give innately this within built us, evolutionary attainment. It is within us up? People were in two minds. This is the style of Shri Krishna, is to put and all of us can have that. Only thing is we have no confidence perhaps that people in two minds so they use their discretion. And the 3rd one is the we go on avoiding it and go to cheaper discretion. Which you call as the things like becoming devoted to Gyanmarga. It's the central path by something, doing some sort of a ritual, which you evolve. You evolve into a going to some sort of a holy place, all new state. Into a new state of your kinds of nonsense, which doesn't give mind, a new state of your being by you the evolutionary ascent by which which you become absolutely above you know the knowledge, the pure every nonsense. Also you are knowledge, the real knowledge. So endowed with power to fight whatever far, whatever you have known was is bad, what ever is corrupting, written in the book, whatever your whatever is killing this world. At that parents told you or whatever you have ver

Unless and until which is the purest, which is the real you have the whole knowledge, you knowledge, which is the gnyana, that are not yet a gyani, a person who knows. In this way, He has established you can only get through your ascent and establish in yourself properly in that our evolutionary process has to that state. If you go on denying it, you come beyond all other human cannot get it. But everyone has a right awareness. Other human awareness to get it. You need not be educated, is of no value for a human spiritual personality. Now he knows sömething, you need not be a very simple person, you need not be very rich or poor, say how many miles it is from here to, makes no difference, as long as you say, New York or what trains go there. are a human being and a humble Al this knowledge is not real- how much this cloth will cost, how much human being, thinking that you have to this carpet will cost, in what shop can achieve that state. You all can get that well. And at you get. All this knowledge is just slate which you know very that tate you become absolutely useless, is not the real knowledge. knowledgeable, knowledgeable about Such a person doesn't know this kind yourself, knowledgeable about others, of knowledge, but what he knows is knowledgeable about everything that the knowledge about your being. goes around. But this state must be knowledge about the whole universe, maintained and try to go above that which is not how many stars there are state where you have no more doubts or how many universes there are. No- left in you. This is what Shri Krishna it is the subtle inner personality of taught and this is what one has to everything, he knows. In that subtlety, he discovers so many new things achieve, but He, being a diplomat, He tried to tell you other stories. which he may not even heard about "Try this, try that, this, that." But and, thus, you reach a state of great knowledgeable personality. This is actually what He has praised is (Gyanamarg. Ours is a Gyanamarg. what we have to achieve.

What should be the through your reading or through your condition? He said, "If you praise Me, intellectual pursuit or from your it you have, bhakti tor Me, you are emotional movement no.

Word is "ananya." Ananya means be understood, just to be known to yourself what it is. It cannot change. It when there s not the other, when we cannot be remolded. It is what it is. are one, when we are connected, then And that is what you know now. the bhakti you do that time, whatever music you have of devotion, whatever Nobody would doubt that because those who have not got this state, they flowers you give, whatever expression you have, it should be ananya. That's may doubt, they may call you crazy. the word He said, that do ananya they may think anything, but with the. open eyes, whatever you say is the bhakti. Pushpam, Phalam, Toyam, truth. In the same way, with the open Whatever you give Me, l'Il take. He'll heart and a open brain, when you take everything. He's the one who is the only Bhokta means He is the only know that, that is the real truth and that is what is to be known. enjoyer. But what will you get," He For that, according to Shri Krishna, says, "when you do ananya bhakti?" Means "when you are one with Me." you have to go through various tests. One is you go on praying to Him. He That means you are connected with Him. That's how He has explained says, "You go on praying to Me and bhakti. But people don't understand. if you give Me flowers, IIl take. If you give Me water, I'll take. What- They think that bhakti means you go ever you'll give Me, I'll take." He on singing on the street, "Hare Rama, Hare Krishna," this and that, is bhakti. says clearly, but what will you gain Is not. If that was real, they would have out of that is very important. He doesn't say. "If you give Me achieved something, but they did not. something. I'l give you something." Now don't blame Krishna for that. He

 Jan.-Feb. 2002 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIV Issue1&2 has clearly said it should be ananya within us if we have the bhakti which is Is after being united, after the yoga, with bhakti. Only by changing your dress, the Yogeshwara. This is what one has wearing a particular type of style, to understand Now, there are many karma yogis that's not the way. That's all so outward. It's just to show off, but who go on working like mad, absolute actually ananya bhakti is within madly. They think we are doing, after all [nishkam Karma], without any yourself, when you are that state then desire we are serving people, we are you are one with the Divine. Unless serving the nation, we are serving this. and until that state you have achieved. Ultimately, what do you get? What you not only that, but have established, it doesn't give you anything. Many get may be money. Might be you might people have told Me, "We are doing so get a good house, maybe all these much of bhakti yog, Mother. We don't things, but you don't get peace of Really, what sort of heart. You don't get peace of mind. get anything." " bhakti yog?" We do read Shri You don't get that joy, that joy which Krishna's Gita. Every morning get up has no boundaries, which cannot be at four o'clock, take bath, read explained, which cannot be described, that boundless joy, you don't have. Krishna's Gita, do this, do that. Then we sing bhajans, this. We never get And you don't get that eternal peace, which can stop wars. Completely, it anything. So what is the reason?" Reason is that you are not one with can abolish this cruel nature of human God. And when you are one with God, beings. That you don't get. But apart then what does He give you? He won't from that, you get the powers. You get the knowledge -knowledge, the subtle give you cheap things which will vanish in no time, but of some eternal knowledge about everyone. You know about everyone, where are they nature. So He gives you peace, peace of missing the point. You know about the heart. He gives you balance. Also yourself and about others. This knowledge you get, not in the college He gives you a tranquil temperament, or in the schools, but within yourself is joy of life. All these things are there

 Jan.-Feb. 2002 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIV Issue 1 & 2 of knowledge and way, but also you have destroyed so the ocean aboriginals, SO whichever way you want to see, many many fundamental things that you should whichever you want to achieve, is have preserved. A day may come there, there present. That is what is when they will realize that this is what the real knowledge, what we call that the they have been doing and this was achieve through sukshamgyana - means the subtle really wrong. A day will come when knowledge, knowledge about chakras, we'll have so many realized souls in America. But just now as the situation knowledge about the universe. is that the people are just gone mad Everything you can get out of this. But and then you get more interested in giving with the idea of making money knowledge to others. You don't want to they discover that now no more, finished. So now what to do? What to know so many things then. What is the do? Come to Sahaja Yoga. Do Sahaja need to know about banking, say about who is the richest man in the Yoga and then you will get the whole world? All these things you don't treasures of your being which are within you, which will give you all the want to know. Your whole attitude changes and what you get is nothing comfort, all the joy and all the supremacy that any amount of money, but a kind of a tranquil mind which any amount of power can give. This is knows everything that is to be known. what we have to do, is to take to That is what one has to achieve. Now this country of yours, America, Sahaja Yoga and make others also Sahaja Yogis so that they also get that is very karamkandi. It goes on doing work, work, work. They're workaholics. peace, joy and satisfaction and this They work so hard and what do you madness of running from one thing to get? You get children who are drug another will be finished because you addicts. You get wives who are can never be satisfied with that. Want to buy today one thing, then tomorrow running here and there. You get broken families and no peace. You want another thing, then want to do another thing. You are never satisfied. support wars.

So your pure desire, it how to discriminate and then you become experts on discrimination, on should be to be one with the Divine. vibrations. On vibrations, you can That is how it will work out. Shri Krishna's specialty was that He judge everything so clearly, so always supported people who were beautifully. Others realized souls, who were on the right you, that's a different point, but you may not agree with know what is right and what is wrong. path, who were doing righteous things. And that is what Shri Krishna's gift is. He would never support anybody who As it is, you know He is controlling may be well off, who may be a great sixteen sub-chakras within us. He a great king was thing. Like controls everything. He controls your Duryodhana. He invited Shri Krishna to his house, to his big palace to be his throat, nose, eyes, ears. All these things He controls, but ultimately, what guest. Shri Krishna said, "I am sorry." does He say? He says He is the Virata. He went to Vidura, who was the son of Virata means the one who is the great, a maid, Dasiputra, because Vidura great lord, what we call "Akbar" and was a realized soul. Because he was a that's what in the Muslim thing they realized soul, to Him he was much higher, much than accept that Allah-O-Akbar. greater I mean, because it is in a poetry, it's Duryodhana, who was a ruler because he was a crook, because he was a partly clear, partly not clear, but He was a Virata and He showed His form bad man. So the discrimination to Arjuna and Arjuna was amazed to between good and bad becomes one in your mind, becomes one of your see His form, that He's the Virata. He's the one who is great, absorbing inner temperament, then you are always very much satisfied because everything and He's the one who is you know you have not been doing taking out everything.

Apart from anything else, He are there written down. All these gives us the gift of discrimination.

Though they are collective, but what collective work who keeps himself off like a drunkard is not the one who worships Shri have they done? Even now, they want Krishna. The one who is one with Shri to say they are separate, they are Krishna enjoys everyone who [is] different. "Whatever problems we are facing are our own." So this collectivity there, specially if they are all realized souls, that person enjoys their has been so much minimized in a company very much. That is country of Shri Krishna itself.

Then this Shri chakra and Lalita preserved chakra, they're very important. They connection also goes to the tongue. The tongue is looked after. But those are, I should say, feminine powers and they are the feminine powers of Shri people have a very bad habit of Krishna, which must be understood suddenly saying horrible things, of that whatever way you respect your suddenly saying very bad words or sometimes getting after somebody body, that is the way your chakras are with very bad remarks, all such things and that is the way you suffer. For are very bad for the tongue and this is example, you do not respect Shri Ganesha, you will suffer. And if you what Shri Krishna doesn't like. In case respect Ganesha and do not behave you use your tongue for saying harsh in a manner that you should behave, things to others, being sarcastic, being you will suffer. You'll have problems. harsh on others, or using abusive So the whole body reacts. Body reacts words, your tongue, one day, I don't know how it will react.

Anything is possible if you try to trouble your tongue like that, using it supposing somebody says something, you should know he is a stupid fool, for wrong purposes. Tongue is not for being used for abusive things, as well just keep out of it, then nothing can as for - like some people try to be extra happen, So both ways one has to be kind and gentle and this and that to careful because Krishna is playing achieve some ends.

Also teeth He looks after. Ears firmly on your own grounds. He looks after. You know what is to be For example, there was a Chinese done about the teeth and the ears. story I read once - a king wanted his two cocks to win in a race, so they said These are His own sixteen- we can say works.

So that's America is the Vishuddhi of the whole world, so it is very important that the what is the character you should have. Is not to bend to something because people who are in charge here should know all the powers of Vishuddhi, plus somebody is aggressive and also not to aggress others, not to torture how to preserve it and how to expand

It's common-sense in it. That God Himself is capable of all kinds of miracles. We, such a topsy-turvy condition these days. And when we are trying to who are created by God are doing establish something very fundamental some things which look miraculous that's like a little seedling that has to say, if you take about 100 year old come out of the stones, it has to fight situation of this world. We can say lots of things, so we have to keep our today we are seeing many things brains intact and be sensible about which could be called miraculous. 100 years back no one could have thought every thing and try to see what we can we could have all these achieve through our patience and understanding. It's very important. arrangements done here in such far- Today I think is a very great day, for fetched places. But, all these miracles come from the power of God. So we all of us, because this place is the place of Virata, of Shri Vitthala. It is the place are the creators of that 'wee' bit-very where Shri Vitthala appeared to a wee bit of that miracle. So all the miracles of God cannot be explained devoted son and when he asked Him that, "You better stand on a brick", He and should not be explained. They are stood there. And they say that He stood beyond our minds, and, to make people feel the presence of God, God there, waiting. Some peopie say that can do anything! the statue that we see came out of the Mother Earth on this sand and that's He can move into all of the 3 what Pundarikaksh carried saying that, dimensions and also in the 4th "These are the ones who came to see dimension and can do whatever He me and my parents when I was busy feels like. That's what you have seen now in your day-to-day life, how many with them, so they are standing on the miracles take place - to all of you- and same brick which I threw".

And He can do anything that He "Enlightenment of your brain" means: teels like, and we are nothing! We are The limited capacity of your brain has to become unlimited in it's capacity to nothing. There should be no rationality about it-of under-standing God's realize God. I will not use the word miracles. "How can it be?" You can't 'understand. "To 'realize' God". How explain. Only when you achieve that powerful He is, how miraculous He is, state of mind where you believe how great He is! Another is that the brain of man can create - of course, through your experiences that God is all-powerful.

I remember reading Charlotte college, when I first started to hear voices inside my mind. These disembodied voices were not always hostile, but very Bronte's Jane Eyre and the passage often they were.

This helped me because, although I felt that my own voice was not yoga, which is now practised worldwide, thanks to the efforts of the many people reciprocated, I came to feel that it was "the others" who were at fault.

That you triggering I am so happy and joyous to be are something much more, something here with so many Sahaja Yogis and very different from what you have known so far. so many of them are very new to Me, So now the new situation arises: perhaps I have known all of you thousands of years back. In Sahaja that you do not have a blind faith, but you have a faith that has come out of Yoga, you have all to understand one simple thing, that you are the Spirit, an experience. So your intellect should and whatever is not the Spirit is not not fight it. It should not try to challenge it. If it starts challenging it yourself.

So Christ type of tabernacle which measured is the Omkara itself, is the vibrations and was specially made and a Puja itself. All other incarnations had to take place was created to worship what the principle or the essence of the they called Jehovah. Now this Jehovah in our Sahaja Yoga is Mother Earth to create their body Sadashiva and Mother Mary is except for Christ's body which is absolutely Omkara and the Earth Mahalakshmi. She incarnated before also. She element of that being Shri Ganesha. So we can say that Christ is the incarnated as Sita and then She incarnated as Radha, and then She Power of Shri Ganesha which incarnated as Mother Mary. Now it is incarnated. So that is the reason He could walk on the water. So He is the clearly written about the birth of Christ in a book purest form of Divinity. Because He is Devi the called Mahatmayam. He was the son of just vibrations. So when you do Puja to Radha, Radha is the Mahalakshmi. So Me because I am in person, there is He was born in another state as an nothing unreal. If they had done Puja to Christ, they egg and half of the egg reincarnated as Shri Ganesha and half of it became must, they have done Puja to Christ Mahavishnu which is our Lord Jesus also, when He lived, and to His Mother.

Now this Mahalakshmi came on this Earth and reproduced and worshipped. So the She brought forth Her child with incarnations are created by the Heavens. Only in modern times it is immaculate conception which She had done before also as Radha. So the possible to take a photograph of the incarnations.

And in some the face was just like mine, exactly like mine and they said that this was found photographs in My heart there is a light suddenly by two young children who coming out.

So doing My Puja, Deities which are they are also sitting in meditation, and within My chakras they get excited, as they also get the blessings. They are also waiting for this moment when the they feel happy, they want to emit more vibrations. When they start Puja starts. So we give them a time like 11'o clock or so, after 11 o' clock emitting more vibrations, then you are surprised that how after Puja you just we should sit down and they start at 11 o'clock. Now they are getting the same get so drenched and you just get elevated and at a much higher level. blessing though you are doing the Of course it is true that during the Puja but they also get the blessings in their meditation. Puja time you feel much more If you are not yet so clever and if elevated for some time, you feel you can keep it up. Some people definitely you do not know all those few things retain it, but people go up and down which are important in the Puja does not matter, because if you are ignorant like a yo-yo. They don't have that about it, innocent about it, God knows, capacity to retain it. That is why one He forgives, He does not mind.

 38 Jan.-Feb. 2002 The Divine Cool Breeze Volume-XIV Issue 1& 2 I will put My name on that so it is My "you are our Guru, you should allow us to do Guru Puja". I said "Nothing property so that whatever you have given Me is Mine, so called, and is with doing, I will not." Then first after four years on the Navratri day they wanted you. That is how we started this proper to have one Puja. I said "Alright you understanding of things that we have can have it. "But very few people and to have a particular type of metal, then they found that the Puja gave them so much of vibrations, so much particular type of style.

Its all a science of spirituality, requesting Me "Mother, you must give which we must understand is very us a Puja." People had no idea how to really do it.

So they said "Mother we are supposed to give you a was just shrunk, the whole body had sari." Then I said "Give me an ordinary sari, I will not take expensive." Then shrunk. I had become so thin and I was so shocked because they were using they argued with Me this thing, that all plastics and things from plastic used in the Puja, all kind of things. "Oh God I thing, it went on and on and on and on and then it started on to, they said" said," now what to do?" Solnever used to also allow them to give Me any We cannot give you false sari." I said money or anything before. Then I said "Alright give me sari, anything". The it alright start with one pye", then they has become so expensive now you see I have been requasting that now started with one pye, gradually they increased because I thought that they from future try to understand that now I am old and to an old Goddess you can do not know that you have to use silver.
