So this last into the limbic area, and enlightens all the seven Pithas in the brain, which are placed centre, the Sahasrara, is contained in the limbic area of the brain. Our head is like along the mid-line of the limbic area. So a coconut. The coconut has the hair, and we start from the back, is placed here, at the back, is the Mooladhara Chakra, then a hard nut and then a black covering around it is the Swadisthan, then is the and inside is white shell of coconut and Nabhi, then the Heart, then the Vishuddhi inside is the space, the water. In the same and then the Agya. So, all these six centres way, our brain is made. That's why coconut is called as "Shreephal". are combining to make the seventh centre. It is the fruit of the power, that is, Shree. Shree power is This is very important point which we should know. Now, the Shree Chakra is the right side power and the left side power right side working & Lalita Chakra is left is the Lalita power. So we have two side working. So, when the Kundalini does chakras - left side, here, is the Lalita and not rise then we do with our right side our the right side, here, is the Shree Chakra. These two chakras are working out the physical and mental activities. So, our brain is doing right side activity and that's right side Mahasaraswati's power and left why our brain is like 'Shreephal'. side Mahakali's power. Now, the central power is the Kundalini that has to rise and Sahasrara is, actually is, the penetrate through different Chakras, enter assemblage of the six Chakras and is a into the limbic area and enlighten the seven hollow space, on the sides of which there Pithas seats of these seven Chakras. So, July - August, 2005 The Divine Cool Breeze THE through your brain. That's why it is called are one thousand Nadis (NERVES). And as 'Satya-Khand', means you start seeing when the light penetrates into the limbic area, then the enlightenment of these the truth perceived by your brain because so far whatever you see through your brain, Nadis take place and you can see them is not the truth. What you see, is just the as flames, very gentle flames buning and these flames have all the seven colours outer side, say, you can see the colours. that you see in the VIBGYOR. But the last You can see the different aesthetics of the one, ultimately becomes again integrated colours. You can see the quality of the and it is a crystal clear flame. All these thing. But you cannot say whether this seven lights ultimately become crystal carpet has been used by some saint. You clear. cannot say whether this is made by a devil So, you have Sahasrara with one or a divine person. You cannot say that this gentleman is he a good person or he thousand petals, as they call it, but if you cut the brain in a transverse section or is an evil person. You cannot say if this Deity has come out of the mother Earth or horizontal section, you will be able to see that all these nerves are built like this along not. Also, you cannot say about any person, the limbic area, all of them are like the who is your relation, whether he is a good relation or a bad relation or what sort of a petals and if you cut it like this, (Vertically) you will find that there are many nerves in person he is, whether he goes to wrong people or to the right people, whether he every bundle of nerves. So, when it is has connections with wrong side or with enlightened, you can see Sahasrara as a good side. Here, good means Divine. So burning bundle of flames. actually you do not know anything about It is very deep subject. So, when the divinity with your mind. Nothing it is impossible for you to judge a person about enlightenment of the Kundalini takes place in the brain then the truth is perceived his divinity unless and until the Kundalini July - August, 2005 The Divine Cool Breeze reaches at least this part, which is the called as 'Niranand'. Niranand! The 'Ni' limbic area. You cannot make out whether means nothing else but Anand (Joy). Niranand ! Also surprising, my name is a person is real or not, whether a Guru is Neera - also, in my family I am called as real or not. Because divinity cannot be perceived through your brain, unless & Neera. And Neera' also means Mary, Marium. Because it means marine. Neera until this light of your spirit shines, into it. is water. 'Neer' means water in Sanskrit Now, the Spirit is expressed in the language. It's called 'Niranand' in the heart, is reflected in the heart. The centre brain. of the Spirit, we can say, is in the heart. And, this stage ultimately unfolds. But actually, the seat of Spirit is above here above the head and that is the Spirit of First what you know is the Satya, is the what we call of the God Almighty, say Truth what is this another gentleman whom you callI Parvardigar, you call him suffering from, that you see on your fingers. Sadashiva or you call Him the Rahim, you First you see your fingers. First you see call him by many names which are said your fingers. With your attention, you know about the Lord who is God Almighty what Chakras, what fingers are catching Niranjan, they call Him Nirankar, every with your attention. Then with your brain you can depict what centres it is catching. sorts of words which start with 'Nir', 'Nihi'. Now, at every centre in the body you Because, if you say this finger, that does not mean it is Vishuddhi Chakra. But your receive a different type of joy. Every centre brain can say that it is Vishuddhi. And that has a different type of joy. And, there are depicts it that this fellow is suffering from names for every type of joy you receive at the troubles of the Vishuddhi Chakra. But every centre when the Kundalini rises. But when the Kundalini comes into the still it is rational. Because, you see what Sahasrara, then the joy you receive is finger it catches and then you say. But July - August, 2005 The Divine Cool Breeze person "Have you got the problem, here?" when the Satyakhand or the Sahasrara, He says, "Yes', Then, you helieve in Me and unfolds itself more, you don't have to think then you believe, that this is the Vishuddhi about it, you just say it. Then there is no Chakra, which is showing, is true. This is difference Chitta between your the logical conclusion, in a way, that you (ATTENTION) and your Sat (Truth). The have experimented, you are seeing and enlightened Chitta (ATTENTION) and the still doubting whether Mother says is true enlightened brain become one. There is or not. And then, you are sure, "Yes, it is no problem at all for such person. There so, we have seen that this is Vishuddhi is no need to see, on the fingers no need to say anything on the fingers and then Chakra." So, the truth becomes logically acceptable to this brain. But still, there is depict it through the brain which you have the brain working out on its gross level. learnt in Sahaja Yoga, that if you find In the second stage, as I told you, where something wrong here, it means Agya - you believe, you know for definite that this that is not necessary! You just say, Agya. means Vishuddhi Chakra, no doubt about And you just say it and it is there. it. Then we say that 'Nirvikalpa' has started, when there is no doubt about Me or Sahaja First it is Then, it unfolds more. integrated with, as I said, Chitta Yoga. But then, the new unfolding starts (Attention). Then when it gets absolutely within you. For that; one has to do integrated with the Spirit, then whatever meditation. In humility, one has to do meditation. And then also, for this new you say, is the truth. You just say, it is so. Chitta That is how, this brain unfolds into 3 new dimension, when your dimensions. First, it depicts the truth (ATTENTION) itself becomes merged into through logical conclusions. Because, I your brain or into the enlightened brain, for that, one has to, very honestly and humbly have told you that if this finger is catching surrender to Sahaja Yoga. then it is Vishuddhi. And then, you ask the July August, 2005 The Divine Cool Breeze: Now, what do we do when we get ladder as I've said. That is one of the snakes. We think that what's the need to our vibrations? We have different-different reactions. Some people do not even do meditation, I have no time, I have this understand the value of vibrations. Some thing, that thing'. You do not progress. people try to learn what it means. And The other point which is very gross. some people, suddenly think, 'O, now they are realised souls, they can, go on giving Also, there are some very gross people in realizations, this, that'. They go on a ride Sahaja Yoga who enter into it. Doesn't of a ego-trip. When they go on a ego-trip, matter. But first thing you must know 'you have to be honest, very' honest in Sahaja they find that they have failed and they have then to come back, from the very Yoga'. The honesty is like - I have seen beginning they start. It is like the game of people. If we have a dinner, say for a Snake & Ladder. So, reaction to marriage party, they will just crawl into it vibrations should be very humble, without having any self- respect, without receptive reaction. having any understanding as to, who is going to pay for all these things? They will Now, on the gross level, because as bring all their family, come down and sit I have told you that the brain is the one down. There are people who avoid paying which holds the Father in it. So, if we money which should be paid for Sahaja Yoga. Supposing they are eating food or commit any sins against the Father, then they are traveling or they are coming from this unfoldment in the brain takes some time. So, we start reading books. And abroad, they have to pay money for their though people have told that first see the traveling for their food. And sometimes, you know I have to pay lot of money. Doesn't vibrations and then read the books, still we say, 'O' what's wrong, we should read matter, I don't mind. But it's not good for other books' You go down on snake and you. The main thing is that it's not good The Divine Cool Breeze July - August, 2005 8. Some people have a habit of saving for you. So, how you behave towards Sahaja Yoga as far as money is money at the cost of Sahaja Yoga. Some have a habit of making money at the cost concerned, is also very important, though of Sahaja Yoga. Some people have the it looks gross. But it can give a big trouble in the unfoldment because of the Nabhi habit of not giving the due amount- and like that. It's something like cheating. catching-and, as you know, if the Nabhi They all go ut of the Sahaja Yoga in no catches it can spread upto the whole of void; and if the void is catching, Ekadasha time. They may be looking like great leaders in the beginning but they go out is placed here which the Rudra, just like that and many a times people tell destructive forces, built-in. me 'why don't you keep a proper account' So, before comi ng to Sahaja Yoga, and all that. But in Sahaja Yoga, I'm not supposed to keep any accounts or it was alright, you were doing all kinds of anything. Because, my accountants are things and you would have smoothly gone to hell without any difficulty. It is very easy Sahaja Yogis. If you try to play tricks with Sahaja Yoga, immediately you are to go to hell. You can take two running jumps and go to hell. The rest of it you pushed out; in your awareness, in your Nabhi chakra you never had - you may should see. But going to hell is the easiest make thousand' of rupees here, but you thing. For that, you don'thave to work hard will lose thousands of rupees, You might or do anything about it. But, when you are get into troubles. You will have any kind ascending, when you are rising, then it is little difficult. You have to be careful that of a problem that I cannot tell and then you will say how did I get this problem? you should not falter, you should not fall and So Nabhi Chakra if you are not honest in that you are ascending. So, you have to your seeking. Honesty of seeking not only be alert about yourself that you are not means 'I want to seek'. It also means what falling into the same habits which you had. July-August, 2005 The Divine Cool Breeze You have to put the full heart- that is your behaviour is, towards yourself and the main thing. Like, people they come towards others. You have to be honest to to Sahaja Yoga and they are murmuring yourself, that you sit down for meditation, behind, "This could have been like that, that try to improve your Antar-yoga, try to make your Thoughtless Awareness, this feeling could have been like that", all those things. All such people also are, what Christ calls of thoughtlessness, wider and wider. Try to achieve that state where you really feel as, 'murmuring souls'. He said that, be thoughtless. So the honesty pays and you careful about these murmuring souls those who go on murmuring behind and rise higher and higher, deeper and deeper into your own being. First you depend taking advantage as if they are trying to upon Me that, "after all, Mother is going to save others. All such people also, can do everything. When I went to Mother my suffer a lot. Because, they are doing a Sahasrara opened out. This thing double game. And such a double game, happened, then this thing happened." But is very dangerous when you are what about you doing something that helps treacherous to that kingdom, you are you to open your Sahasrara? So, opening punished. But in the God's kingdom, it's so blissful, absolutely blissful, complete of the Sahasrara is very important. blessings are poured on, absolutely, with Now, surprisingly, it is so placed that everything - health, wealth, mental, Sahasrara has got the Brahmarandhra at emotional-all kinds of prosperity you can the level where there is, I mean, at the get in Sahaja Yoga, no doubt. But when point, where there is the Heart-Chakra. you are so much blessed, you are also So we must know that Brahmarandhra is forgiven and forgiven, and forgiven, and directly connected to your heart. If it is not there's a long rope given to you to hang done from the heart, superficially done yourself. But you really hang fully. It's not Sahaja Yoga, you can not go very high. half way. The Divine Cool Breeze 10 July-August, 2005 So, those people, who think, they care. And He is so loving that description of his compassion can not can be dishonest with Sahaja, Yoga have to be very careful; please don't do it. If be given in words but can be only felt and understood. you don't like to be in Sahaja Yoga, you better go away, it is better; from your point of view and from our point of view also. Now, the problem is, people who are their of dishonest because Because, in case you are dishonest, you are background, sometimes, because of their are trying to play tricks and games, and education, because of their upbringing or you suffer and you look funny and strange; may be because they are cowards. But then people will say, that what's wrong with there is also, another thing that can make Sahaja Yoga? So we will unnecessarily you dishonest- is yoür 'Poorva janmas' suffer. Because, we cannot show you in (PREVIOUS LIVES) and that's how you the mirror, that this man has been very very So, it will take your birth and your Kundalini is made disloyal. We cannot show that! like that. bring a bad name to us-first of all. And second, you will be harmed, by this kind But after realisation, those people of a thing. If you are harmed, then also we will have a bad name that how could who are of a great valour and great it happen. But if you are honest about strength ascend so fast that all the Sahaja Yoga and about your seeking, problems of the stars, all the problems of your Nakashatras (BIRTH STARS) and all you don't know how much God looks that, Constellations everything disappears after you! Anybody who tries to do any and you become a Sahaja yogi means a harm to you will be very badly harmed and removed from your path.

When destroying Shaktis placed here. Five on this thing is set-in within you, as l've said, this side, five on the other side and one in one on this side and one on that side. So. the centre. These are obstructions within us, built by two types of sins we commit. If those people who have bowed to wrong we bow our heads to wrong type of gurus type of people develop a temperament or and submit ourselves to their vicious ways, a kind of a personality which is very vulnerable for incurable diseases like then we develop Rudra-problems on the right hand side-these five go out.

You may develop have bowed-because I've never bowed cancer or any such thing-those who have to anybody wrong, to someone who is a bowed to the wrong types of people. wrong type of person and who is anti-God, Now, those who think, "I'm better than then the problem comes on this side of anybody else.

And own guru, who can teach me, I don't want left side Ekadasha is extremely dangerous to listen to anybody and I don't believe in God, who is God, Ijust don't care for God, too. Because, such people develop the problems of the right side-heart attacks, all such feelings, if you have, then, your right side doesn't catch, but the left side physically I am saying, and all other problems of the right side. So, one of the catches. Because right side moves this greatest hurdles of Kundalini entering into side and the left side this side.

So, the wisdom lies not Anything I tell you, you must know that in Sahaja Yoga, we have not to go to in sticking onto something. Sahaja Yogis are not stuck-up people. If they are stuck anything 'Ati' (EXTREME). Even sitting in the water, some people will sit for 3 up, they are not progressing. You are not to get stuck up with ideas and stuck up hours. I've never said so. Only for ten with people. You have to be all the time minutes you have to sit, but that with full heart. If I tell them anything, they will go on moving and in movement, it does not mean that you should fall somewhere and people doing it for 4 hours; there is no need.

SHRI MATAJI NIRMALA DEVI 36 July-August, 2005 The Divine Cool Breeze And I saw Her coming out of the car and walking one or two steps. And after that I got lost. I don't remember anything. And then I saw Her on the stage. It was like moonlight, watching Her. Nirmal Gupta To be living in this time and to have experienced all this is very difficult to imagine sometimes. I wonder why I was chosen and why I was so lucky enough to have been there in Her presence. It's all these little experiences, which stay with vou for the rest of your life. You can't ignore them. Sharon Vincent It dawned on me that what She had been telling about the future of Sahaja Yoga has come to be, that there will be so many of us, that we will not even be able to catch a glimpse of Her. Michael Petrunia It is completely overwhelming that God loves us so much. Helen Manassey Introduction There are many, many stories and memories of our Divine Mother, which have not yet been recorded on video, audio or set to paper - but yet have been experienced and treasured by thousands of Her children. From this ocean of memories - until now only held in trust by each of us, as our individual experience-some few sweet stories have now been collected in this volume. This book is our history-incomplete fragmentary and as vulnerable as memories are. This is our living history- a history of that culture that we call Sahaja Yoga. It chronicles the growth of our limited awareness of our Mother, Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. It records our discovery of ourselves. And it celebrates our relationship with each of our brothers and sisters, whose every experience is also our own, Thank you, Shri Mataji, for allowing us to collect these beautiful remembrances of your care and love, of the laughter and gentle correction, of actually being with You and experiencing first hand Your Incarnation. From the simple way You lift a teacup, we can learn so much. Thank you for the warmth and simplicity and all the many ways in which you shower Your Love. And thank you for the great play of Shri Mahamaya that makes seekers love and trust You, often without yet understanding the Truth that You are. The heart of this book is to remind us of the magic of Sahaja Yoga. The spirit of this book is to help future brothers and sisters to know a small part of the beauty and glory of Shri Mataji as a loving, caring Mother whose wonderful power of divine love dispels all our uncertainties. Sift now through the words that we found when we tried to remember. What follows is our collective memories, our story together... IT BEGAN IN INDIA You are fortunate you saw me Shri Mataji used to stay at Jeevan Jyot (in 1970) and was known as Nirmala Srivastava. I asked some girls where did Nirmala Srivastava stay ? When I went up, I saw Shri Mataji. She opened the door and said, "Are you looking for Me?" She held me by hand and took me inside very politely and asked to sit on the cot. "Where are you coming from?". I am coming from Dhulia and I have heard your name and came lam waiting for the delivery looking for you." "I am about to start this work and right now of my daughter, Kalpana. Once l am through with that, I will call you. Please leave your name and address before you leave and within a month I shall call you." We all went from Bombay to Bordi in train with Shri Mataji. We were all together. Mother would talk to all of us. We would follow Her wherever She went. I would never leave Mother, as I wanted to see what Mother did. I would follow Her and do as She directed, without any question. We all were in some school for the stay at night and after dinner we all moved up in our rooms. "Look at Raolbai from Dhulia. She always has Her attention on what I am huna. doing and not like others who are busy wastina their attention on trifle matter." She used to call me Rajkunwar. After dinner She would start giving Realisation to people. She asked me to keep my hands under Her Lotus Feet. (Mr.) Modi used to understand everything. I personally never understood anything, as for me what She said was it. If She said I was 39 July-August, 2005 The Divine Cool Breeze realised now, for me I was that. She worked on my back like this (raising of the Kundalini). Then Mother looked very lovingly and sang a beautiful song, "Par Brahma Parmeshwar". She sang so beautifully. That face was so joyous, so loving, happy. And like this, She gave realisation to four or five people till midnight. Next day She used to sit alone and call each one individually to give Self Realisation. CIW While returning back in the train, She asked us whether we had thoughts or not? I would say politely that I don't know what's happening. Then Mother asked us to put our hands in front of Her and whether we felt cool vibrations. Again I would reply innocently that I do not feel anything. "Raolbai, you are from Dhulia and I want you to come to my house tomorrow. All of you who felt vibration must meditate every morning and evening, so as to go deep and feel the vibrations." I used to stay with my daughter in a one room apartment and at around 4 aml was awakened naturally and I was shocked to see Mataji in front of me in same position as when She gave Self Realisation in Bordi. When next day I met Shri Mataji, She asked me, "Do you get thoughts by putting attention on Me?" said, "No." Mataji told me that I have attained my thoughtless state. "What did you see in the morning?" "Mother, I saw you in meditating pose." "For all people whom I gave Self Realisation yesterday, I was meditating in the 40 The Divine Cool Breeze July August, 2005 morning for them. As you all are new and do not understand, you are fortunate that you saw Me. RAOLBAI She was very happy to be hearing my name I got my Realization on the fourteenth of April 1972 in a place called-it was big apartment called Jeevan Jyot. It was owned by Shipping Corporation of India and since Sir CP was the chairman of the shipping corporation, Shri Mataji used to receive people in Her house every day in '72, before going to America. I would relate the first experience of meditation. I was told to sit quiet for some time and with closing my eyes. I might have closed for fifteen minutes, but I thought maybeI had closed for about two hours. Anyway, so then they said I got my Realization and then we were supposed to go to Shri Mataji. And she was in a white sari, just sitting with Her legs in front. "You can either go and put your head under Her feet - which were resting horizontally to the ground with a support under Her Feet- or you can go towards Her hand. "When my turn came, I was near Her hand and She put some Amla Oil-oil in India, you get-on my head. And She asked me how do I feel? I said, "Very fine." She asked me my name and She was very happy to be hearing my name. Anyway, so this was it. Audhut Pai His search for God led us I got my first Realization on 12th August 1973. The credit for this Realization goes to my eldest brother, Maruti, who had a yearning for getting Realization for a number of 41 July - August, 2005 The Divine Cool Breeze years. His search for God led us to meet Mataji. On a fine day of 12h August, we read an article written by one Marathi newspaper editor about Shri Mataji and Sahaja Yoga and that led us to approach him in his office. We went to see him and he explained how things had happened to him. He told us to visit Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan on that same day. We left his place and went to Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan about three o'clock and, to our surprise, nobody was there to tell us what Sahaja Yoga is. We came out of the hall and telephoned back to his office, asking, where do we find Mataji?" He said, "Oh, this is not the time. You must come after six or Seven in the evening. On the very same day in the evening we again went to Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, where Mataji was giving Realisation to a very few people, ten or fifteen people. We both of us sat there and, this being a very early stage of Sahaja, Mataji was Herself working hard to give Realisation and raising our Kundalini. To my great surprise, when She touched my fontanelle, on my head, there was a flash and I saw- so called - at that time I was not knowing it was the Agnaya chakra - a Christ crucified. It was for five or six seconds, just a flash. Imyself wondered why-I myself being a Hindu and a great hater of Christianity-should get a vision of a crucified Christ. But I didn t speak anything at that time. I started enjoying it, I just closed my eyes and Mother said, "You got Realisation at the very first sitting." Niranjan Mavinkurve Slowly it settled Shri Mataji opened the Sahasrara at Nargol in 1970. I am not one of the initial 42 The Divine Cool Breeze July August, 2005 eleven disciples, out of which hardly one or two are living now. I was one of the second batch, so to say in 1973. In those days we had programmes every day. We used to meet every day at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan in the evening and then slowly it spread. And then we used to have in Pune, one Mr. Rajwade, at his place Mataji gave Realisation to many people. Mr. Rajwade was a staunch Brahmin and was against all these things and refused to come. He allowed a discourse at his residence. He was sitting down in his room. And after half an hour or so he came trembling in front of Mother and said, "I never realised you are the Devi." And then he got his realisation in 1973. And later on he was a strong supporter and he spread Sahaja Yoga in Pune. Pune, being full of Brahmins, intellectual people, they opposed this tooth and nail initially. But slowly it settled. Niranjan Mavinkurve You can't take the vibrations: Early days in India and after a puja, Mother used to call a few of us to suck the vibrations, rub Her Feet very hard and take the vibrations, as She lay down. And She I really can't bear it because you can't take them." And after used to say, "It's too much. the puja, it is tremendous for her. Shailaja Glover 43 July-August, 2005 The Divine Col Breeze She taught us how to do so many things. There used to be a special training programme and during the Navaratri days We, used to reach on the terrace of Mother's building. Mother would come there and give us lecture and further training. We used to leave there at four o'clock in the morning, till 0630 in the morning. Around twenty four, twenty five people would be gathering at seven and we would come down to Her flat on the first floor, take some breakfast, tea and disperse. At that time nobody was allowed to tape record any of Her discourses. She Said, "No, you must grasp it orally, no use of tape recorder." Shri Mataji used to let us give Realisation in those days. We used to put our leg at the Mooladhara and start giving Realisation, so that the Kundalini would rise, ascending. And we used to give Realisation to so many people. I had not given Realisation to more than fifteen or twenty people because at that time the methods were not so much developed. Mataji Herself was doing great research. And now that it is at the stroke of a second and we can say it is at internet speed that Sahaja Yoga is spreading. But initially it took a long time to get Realisation. She had to Herself go out and give Realisation. She taught us how to do so many things, like balancing of the both sides and raising the Kundalini. Putting a bandhan came a little later. At that time, there was no bandhan. At that time a lot of Badhas were coming away. Then she realised that it would be a good idea to put a bandhan. So it was sort of an evolutionary development and now it is a full-fledged system and people don't have to do much. Just sitting before the photograph also, one could get Realisation. 44 July-August, 2005 The Divine Cool Breeze Initially we did not raise the Kundalini like now and that too came later. She stressed that too much stress should not be given to the bandhan. It so happened that every person used to do a bandhan without realizing its implication or its importance. People started criticizing and so She said don't do it in open places, only when you are in a hall or something, do it. People used to go in the trains and do this and other used to think, "These are mad people, doing this. Maybe they are doing some sort of a magic type of thing." Foot soaking and other treatment came later. Actually we used to go to the sea with Mataji, foot soaking in the sea. And that is how Ganapatipule came in because you know there is the sea and it is very clean sea. Before that we used to go to Bordi. We went many times to Bordi. Nargol is very near from there. When we were at Bordi, the sea was there. But of course, not everybody lives near the sea, so the alternative was footbath soaking. And then there was the shoe-beating, which She showed us. In Bombay people don't do it much now. What happened was that whenever Mother says something, people do too much of it. So Mother later said to the Bombay people, "You must put more attention on dhyana, (meditation) and the shoe-beating is a more external method- so more attention on dhyana." Niranjan Mavinkurve This is Nirmal Vidya She would explain how we have to remain in the collectivity and behave as Sahaja 45 July - August, 2005 The Divine Cool Breeze Yogis. She always gave and is giving importance to meditation. She made all of us meditate and one by one put attention on all the chakras. This Mooladhara and then you go upwards and so on. "This is Nirmal Vidya and nobody has taught Me all this, nor have I read any book, "She would say. "I have meditated on each chakra and discovered the secrets of each one, like Mooladhara, what it looks like, what are qualities and so on. Every night I would mediate for eight hours. I have worked hard for all of you and now you have to work hard and mediated in the morning. I would work eight hours on every chakra. I would request you people to work for one hour on every chakra for eight days and then move on. Like every morning, meditate for one hour on Mooladhara for eight days and then move on to Śwadisthan and so on. Then you all will learn the secrets and Shakti of all the chakras." RAOL BAI The Divine Mother says After realization you all had lots of knowledge about Kundalini and Sahaja Yoga but without Bhakti you cannot achieve the balance. You have to get lost in Bhakti. Bhakti enriches your feelings. Try to feel the other Sahaja Yogis without criticizing them. I am enjoying your beings, the beauty and glory that you are. I wish you all could do that and feel like a drop in the ocean itself. Bhakti will dissolve your angularities and impediments in the collective oneness. O my children, you are really born out of my Sahasrara. l conceived you in my heart and gave you the new birth through the Brahmarandhra. The Ganges of my love has carried you into the realm of collective consciousness. This love is too great for my human body. It nourishes you, soothes you and gives you security. Gradually it opens your awareness to bliss and joy. But this love also corrects you and prunes you. It guides you and direct you. It reveals itself in the form of true knowledge. It absorbs your shocks and settles you like a guiding leaf on the hard surface of truth. It strengthens you to fulfill your aspirations of reaching spiritual heights.

It is the fruit of the power, that is, Shree. Shree power is This is very important point which we should know. Now, the Shree Chakra is the right side power and the left side power right side working & Lalita Chakra is left is the Lalita power. So we have two side working. So, when the Kundalini does chakras - left side, here, is the Lalita and not rise then we do with our right side our the right side, here, is the Shree Chakra. These two chakras are working out the physical and mental activities. So, our brain is doing right side activity and that's right side Mahasaraswati's power and left why our brain is like 'Shreephal'. side Mahakali's power.

If you try to play tricks with Sahaja Yoga, immediately you are to go to hell. You can take two running jumps and go to hell.

And after that I got lost. I don't remember anything. And then I saw Her on the stage. It was like moonlight, watching Her. Nirmal Gupta To be living in this time and to have experienced all this is very difficult to imagine sometimes. I wonder why I was chosen and why I was so lucky enough to have been there in Her presence. It's all these little experiences, which stay with vou for the rest of your life. You can't ignore them. Sharon Vincent It dawned on me that what She had been telling about the future of Sahaja Yoga has come to be, that there will be so many of us, that we will not even be able to catch a glimpse of Her. Michael Petrunia It is completely overwhelming that God loves us so much. Helen Manassey 2005_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_IV.pdf-page-38.txt Introduction There are many, many stories and memories of our Divine Mother, which have not yet been recorded on video, audio or set to paper - but yet have been experienced and treasured by thousands of Her children. From this ocean of memories - until now only held in trust by each of us, as our individual experience-some few sweet stories have now been collected in this volume. This book is our history-incomplete fragmentary and as vulnerable as memories are. This is our living history- a history of that culture that we call Sahaja Yoga. It chronicles the growth of our limited awareness of our Mother, Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. It records our discovery of ourselves. And it celebrates our relationship with each of our brothers and sisters, whose every experience is also our own, Thank you, Shri Mataji, for allowing us to collect these beautiful remembrances of your care and love, of the laughter and gentle correction, of actually being with You and experiencing first hand Your Incarnation. From the simple way You lift a teacup, we can learn so much. Thank you for the warmth and simplicity and all the many ways in which you shower Your Love. And thank you for the great play of Shri Mahamaya that makes seekers love and trust You, often without yet understanding the Truth that You are. The heart of this book is to remind us of the magic of Sahaja Yoga. The spirit of this book is to help future brothers and sisters to know a small part of the beauty and glory of Shri Mataji as a loving, caring Mother whose wonderful power of divine love dispels all our uncertainties. Sift now through the words that we found when we tried to remember. What follows is our collective memories, our story together... 2005_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_IV.pdf-page-39.txt IT BEGAN IN INDIA You are fortunate you saw me Shri Mataji used to stay at Jeevan Jyot (in 1970) and was known as Nirmala Srivastava. I asked some girls where did Nirmala Srivastava stay ? When I went up, I saw Shri Mataji. She opened the door and said, "Are you looking for Me?" She held me by hand and took me inside very politely and asked to sit on the cot. "Where are you coming from?". I am coming from Dhulia and I have heard your name and came lam waiting for the delivery looking for you." "I am about to start this work and right now of my daughter, Kalpana. Once l am through with that, I will call you. Please leave your name and address before you leave and within a month I shall call you." We all went from Bombay to Bordi in train with Shri Mataji. We were all together. Mother would talk to all of us. We would follow Her wherever She went. I would never leave Mother, as I wanted to see what Mother did. I would follow Her and do as She directed, without any question. We all were in some school for the stay at night and after dinner we all moved up in our rooms. "Look at Raolbai from Dhulia. She always has Her attention on what I am huna. doing and not like others who are busy wastina their attention on trifle matter." She used to call me Rajkunwar. After dinner She would start giving Realisation to people. She asked me to keep my hands under Her Lotus Feet. (Mr.) Modi used to understand everything. I personally never understood anything, as for me what She said was it. If She said I was 2005_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_IV.pdf-page-40.txt 39 July-August, 2005 The Divine Cool Breeze realised now, for me I was that. She worked on my back like this (raising of the Kundalini). Then Mother looked very lovingly and sang a beautiful song, "Par Brahma Parmeshwar". She sang so beautifully. That face was so joyous, so loving, happy. And like this, She gave realisation to four or five people till midnight. Next day She used to sit alone and call each one individually to give Self Realisation. CIW While returning back in the train, She asked us whether we had thoughts or not? I would say politely that I don't know what's happening. Then Mother asked us to put our hands in front of Her and whether we felt cool vibrations. Again I would reply innocently that I do not feel anything. "Raolbai, you are from Dhulia and I want you to come to my house tomorrow. All of you who felt vibration must meditate every morning and evening, so as to go deep and feel the vibrations." I used to stay with my daughter in a one room apartment and at around 4 aml was awakened naturally and I was shocked to see Mataji in front of me in same position as when She gave Self Realisation in Bordi. When next day I met Shri Mataji, She asked me, "Do you get thoughts by putting attention on Me?" said, "No." Mataji told me that I have attained my thoughtless state. "What did you see in the morning?" "Mother, I saw you in meditating pose." "For all people whom I gave Self Realisation yesterday, I was meditating in the 2005_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_IV.pdf-page-41.txt 40 The Divine Cool Breeze July August, 2005 morning for them. As you all are new and do not understand, you are fortunate that you saw Me. RAOLBAI She was very happy to be hearing my name I got my Realization on the fourteenth of April 1972 in a place called-it was big apartment called Jeevan Jyot. It was owned by Shipping Corporation of India and since Sir CP was the chairman of the shipping corporation, Shri Mataji used to receive people in Her house every day in '72, before going to America. I would relate the first experience of meditation. I was told to sit quiet for some time and with closing my eyes. I might have closed for fifteen minutes, but I thought maybeI had closed for about two hours. Anyway, so then they said I got my Realization and then we were supposed to go to Shri Mataji. And she was in a white sari, just sitting with Her legs in front. "You can either go and put your head under Her feet - which were resting horizontally to the ground with a support under Her Feet- or you can go towards Her hand. "When my turn came, I was near Her hand and She put some Amla Oil-oil in India, you get-on my head. And She asked me how do I feel? I said, "Very fine." She asked me my name and She was very happy to be hearing my name. Anyway, so this was it. Audhut Pai His search for God led us I got my first Realization on 12th August 1973. The credit for this Realization goes to my eldest brother, Maruti, who had a yearning for getting Realization for a number of 2005_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_IV.pdf-page-42.txt 41 July - August, 2005 The Divine Cool Breeze years. His search for God led us to meet Mataji. On a fine day of 12h August, we read an article written by one Marathi newspaper editor about Shri Mataji and Sahaja Yoga and that led us to approach him in his office. We went to see him and he explained how things had happened to him. He told us to visit Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan on that same day. We left his place and went to Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan about three o'clock and, to our surprise, nobody was there to tell us what Sahaja Yoga is. We came out of the hall and telephoned back to his office, asking, where do we find Mataji?" He said, "Oh, this is not the time. You must come after six or Seven in the evening. On the very same day in the evening we again went to Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, where Mataji was giving Realisation to a very few people, ten or fifteen people. We both of us sat there and, this being a very early stage of Sahaja, Mataji was Herself working hard to give Realisation and raising our Kundalini. To my great surprise, when She touched my fontanelle, on my head, there was a flash and I saw- so called - at that time I was not knowing it was the Agnaya chakra - a Christ crucified. It was for five or six seconds, just a flash. Imyself wondered why-I myself being a Hindu and a great hater of Christianity-should get a vision of a crucified Christ. But I didn t speak anything at that time. I started enjoying it, I just closed my eyes and Mother said, "You got Realisation at the very first sitting." Niranjan Mavinkurve Slowly it settled Shri Mataji opened the Sahasrara at Nargol in 1970. I am not one of the initial 2005_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_IV.pdf-page-43.txt 42 The Divine Cool Breeze July August, 2005 eleven disciples, out of which hardly one or two are living now. I was one of the second batch, so to say in 1973. In those days we had programmes every day. We used to meet every day at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan in the evening and then slowly it spread. And then we used to have in Pune, one Mr. Rajwade, at his place Mataji gave Realisation to many people. Mr. Rajwade was a staunch Brahmin and was against all these things and refused to come. He allowed a discourse at his residence. He was sitting down in his room. And after half an hour or so he came trembling in front of Mother and said, "I never realised you are the Devi." And then he got his realisation in 1973. And later on he was a strong supporter and he spread Sahaja Yoga in Pune. Pune, being full of Brahmins, intellectual people, they opposed this tooth and nail initially. But slowly it settled. Niranjan Mavinkurve You can't take the vibrations: Early days in India and after a puja, Mother used to call a few of us to suck the vibrations, rub Her Feet very hard and take the vibrations, as She lay down. And She I really can't bear it because you can't take them." And after used to say, "It's too much. the puja, it is tremendous for her. Shailaja Glover 2005_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_IV.pdf-page-44.txt 43 July-August, 2005 The Divine Col Breeze She taught us how to do so many things. There used to be a special training programme and during the Navaratri days We, used to reach on the terrace of Mother's building. Mother would come there and give us lecture and further training. We used to leave there at four o'clock in the morning, till 0630 in the morning. Around twenty four, twenty five people would be gathering at seven and we would come down to Her flat on the first floor, take some breakfast, tea and disperse. At that time nobody was allowed to tape record any of Her discourses. She Said, "No, you must grasp it orally, no use of tape recorder." Shri Mataji used to let us give Realisation in those days. We used to put our leg at the Mooladhara and start giving Realisation, so that the Kundalini would rise, ascending. And we used to give Realisation to so many people. I had not given Realisation to more than fifteen or twenty people because at that time the methods were not so much developed. Mataji Herself was doing great research. And now that it is at the stroke of a second and we can say it is at internet speed that Sahaja Yoga is spreading. But initially it took a long time to get Realisation. She had to Herself go out and give Realisation. She taught us how to do so many things, like balancing of the both sides and raising the Kundalini. Putting a bandhan came a little later. At that time, there was no bandhan. At that time a lot of Badhas were coming away. Then she realised that it would be a good idea to put a bandhan. So it was sort of an evolutionary development and now it is a full-fledged system and people don't have to do much. Just sitting before the photograph also, one could get Realisation. 2005_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_IV.pdf-page-45.txt 44 July-August, 2005 The Divine Cool Breeze Initially we did not raise the Kundalini like now and that too came later. She stressed that too much stress should not be given to the bandhan. It so happened that every person used to do a bandhan without realizing its implication or its importance. People started criticizing and so She said don't do it in open places, only when you are in a hall or something, do it. People used to go in the trains and do this and other used to think, "These are mad people, doing this. Maybe they are doing some sort of a magic type of thing." Foot soaking and other treatment came later. Actually we used to go to the sea with Mataji, foot soaking in the sea. And that is how Ganapatipule came in because you know there is the sea and it is very clean sea. Before that we used to go to Bordi. We went many times to Bordi. Nargol is very near from there. When we were at Bordi, the sea was there. But of course, not everybody lives near the sea, so the alternative was footbath soaking. And then there was the shoe-beating, which She showed us. In Bombay people don't do it much now. What happened was that whenever Mother says something, people do too much of it. So Mother later said to the Bombay people, "You must put more attention on dhyana, (meditation) and the shoe-beating is a more external method- so more attention on dhyana." Niranjan Mavinkurve This is Nirmal Vidya She would explain how we have to remain in the collectivity and behave as Sahaja 2005_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_IV.pdf-page-46.txt 45 July - August, 2005 The Divine Cool Breeze Yogis. She always gave and is giving importance to meditation. She made all of us meditate and one by one put attention on all the chakras. This Mooladhara and then you go upwards and so on. "This is Nirmal Vidya and nobody has taught Me all this, nor have I read any book, "She would say. "I have meditated on each chakra and discovered the secrets of each one, like Mooladhara, what it looks like, what are qualities and so on. Every night I would mediate for eight hours. I have worked hard for all of you and now you have to work hard and mediated in the morning. I would work eight hours on every chakra. I would request you people to work for one hour on every chakra for eight days and then move on. Like every morning, meditate for one hour on Mooladhara for eight days and then move on to Śwadisthan and so on. Then you all will learn the secrets and Shakti of all the chakras." RAOL BAI 2005_Divine_Cool_Breeze_E_(Scan)_IV.pdf-page-47.txt The Divine Mother says After realization you all had lots of knowledge about Kundalini and Sahaja Yoga but without Bhakti you cannot achieve the balance. You have to get lost in Bhakti. Bhakti enriches your feelings. Try to feel the other Sahaja Yogis without criticizing them. I am enjoying your beings, the beauty and glory that you are. I wish you all could do that and feel like a drop in the ocean itself. Bhakti will dissolve your angularities and impediments in the collective oneness. O my children, you are really born out of my Sahasrara. l conceived you in my heart and gave you the new birth through the Brahmarandhra. The Ganges of my love has carried you into the realm of collective consciousness. This love is too great for my human body. It nourishes you, soothes you and gives you security. Gradually it opens your awareness to bliss and joy. But this love also corrects you and prunes you. It guides you and direct you. It reveals itself in the form of true knowledge. It absorbs your shocks and settles you like a guiding leaf on the hard surface of truth. It strengthens you to fulfill your aspirations of reaching spiritual heights.
