This issue, lets focus on mother's advice on how to establish the eternal child within us. Chastity: The Fragrance of Innocence Chastity is the ornament made Chastity. Moral chastity comes first, that's very important, from our innocence. If because il is innate. And if your moral chastity is perfectly innocence is the mool, the nourished, then automatically the material chastity comes core of a Sahaja Yogi's In. But the effect is the same. Whether you do money personality, then chastity is cheating in Sahaja Yoga or whether you cheat morally, your the ornament that adorns his Teft Vishuddhi will be caught. And the whole problem will personality so that people start from left Vishuddhi. [1985-0901: Shri Vishnumaya marvel at his beauty.

And because of that we are unable or Chastity is never aggressive, tongue-tied to announce the Advent of the Divine Mother. is never harsh, because From the kalpavriksha of Mother's words, here are some there's no need, you know. No fruits that She has endowed us with on importance of need, you are so powerful, Chastity and ways to establish chastity. you are so powerful, that there's no need to aggress Significance of Chastity So what is your power? Where does your power lie? It lies in anyone. Chastity is the the Spirit. But even before the Spirit is achieved, what is consolidation of your faith. your power? Is Kundalini? She's sleeping. Then what is your When you have faith in God, you are chaste. When you have faith in yourself you are power? Is your chastity. If a man is chaste, chaste temperament he has and he stands up in his chastity, it acts, it works. But first of all chastity pays dividend in your good chaste. Your faith in your wife, you are chaste. Actually like health. From the face of a person you can say that this the camphor, which, you see, is volatile and evaporates into person is a chaste man. Like in our Shastra's used to say a the fragrance, in the same way we can say chastity acts into saint or a brahrmachari, the one who has never had sex in Taith. If you don't have chastity you cannot have faith in life, always shining on his face. [1984: Talk on Chastity, Shri Ganesha Puja, England] anything. People try to do things to look very attractive and this and that. Don't waste your energy like this; you are saints, live ike saints. Traditionally as we live, we have to live that way. And evolve out of the tradition, don't do something new, Now to understand the significance of chastity within us, we have to know that chastity is the foundation of all dharma's, Unless and until you have sense of chastity you cannot have something absurd, nonsensical. We don't have to attract anyone. Chastity is the fragrance in the flower, which attracts the bees, is the honey of the flower, is the essence dharma. Dharma is not possible because that's the foundation. It will be a house of cards. If you do not have the foundation of chastity it will just collapse i no time.

 Importance of Chastity for men and women children. Because she is the one, really, who is the Shakti. And if she starts frittering away her Shakti like this, then the Shakti of the whole community, the whole country In some countries, of course, they think that disappears. [1984: Talk on Chastity, Shri Ganesha Puja, chastity is only meant England] for women and not for men. But it's not true, Establishing our Chastity [1993-0721: Shri Ganesha Puja, It's all made very easy. But change your priorities now. The whole attention once goes to your own Spirit you'll be surprised the whole chart will change. So from today we are notgoing to look at the stars or the Moon, but going to look at the Mother Earth. In the Universe She represents. The Kundalini is nothing, but chastity. She's just chastity. [1980- 0808: Opening Address, evening beforeShri Vishnumaya Puja, New York, USA] Berlin] Chastity is not only for the women, it is more for the men to observe.

Those men in this country, all right they Ibok like Another way is meditation. With your left hand towards the cabbages but they can be horrid, absolutely horrid people, photograph, like that (Shri Mataji shows Her left hand because they have no sense of purity of their character. If stretched with the palm up), right hand on the Mother Earth. the man is not all right, how can he have a sister who is pure? If the man doesn't believe in the chastity of life for to Her Left Vishuddhi then gives a bandhan there with Her some men, I mean most of the men, there's nothing like right hand), give a bandhan to your left Vishuddhi, you can chastity. They never believed in anything like chastity in thne work it out But this become rituals if you do not do it with modern times. That is what we lack, and in Sahaja Yoga from your heart. So first of all face it, mentally face it fully, when I think of My children, of My sons, they should be brilliant with chastity. The whole presence must shine with the emotions you have should have no guilt in it. So for all you can work it out. Put the light over here (Shri Mataji points then do it with this thing. Emotionally understand it also; that chastity. When people look at them they should say, "Oh, that's innocence going. See the innocence and the chastity which shows our quilt. but humility.

So please understand that you have t respect your chastity, and men have to respect women as sisters, and not as every woman is for them for their use. the state of remaining in the constant company of the Every-loving Bhagawati."

 "संतों ने कहा है...

Thus, lets acknowledge the Indian treasures like the deep ocean of music. And carry forth our Great Indian Saga... India's greatest rock-cut architectural treasure Ajanta & Ellora Shree Mataji has blessed India with rich architectural British officers on a tiger hunt. treasures. Indian architecture showcases the country's rich The artisans responsible for Ajanta did not just hack holes in the cliff, though. They carefully excavated, carving stairs, heritage and splendid culture. India is the home of one of the Seven Wonders of the world - Taj Mahal. India has greater variety and quantity of rock-cut architecture than any other benches, screens, columns, sculptures, and other country in the world. One of the most talked about Indian rurnishings and decorations as they went, so that these treasure in Mother's lectures is The Ajanta & Ellora caves. The most elaborate and varied example of great artisans of Indian architecture, the handcrafted caves scattered employing pigments derived from natural, water soluble elements remained attached to the resulting floors, ceilings and walls. They also painted patterns and pictures. substances. Their achievements would seem incredible even if they had been executed under ideal circumstances, yet they worked only by the light of ail lamps and whatever little sunshine penetrated cave entrances.: Located about 30 Kilometres from Aurangabad, extending more than 1.6 km an a hill, the 34 rock and cave temples of Ellora (5th-13th century) are known for the genius of their sculptors, It is generally believed that these caves were constructed by the sculptors who moved on from Ajanta. This cave complex is multicultural, as the caves here provide a mix of three different religions.. Although all of the caves at Elora are stunning architectural feats, the Kailasa Tempie is the jewel in the crown. Carved to represent Mt. Kailasa, the home of the throughout India's western state of Maharashtra, The Ajanta and nearby Ellora are two of the most amazing archaeological sites in India, They are man-made temples cut out of massive granite hillside, The caves were built by generations who lived, worked, and worshipped in the caves, slowly carving out elaborate statues, pillars, and meditation rooms. The Ajanta (more property known as Ajujnthi), a village in the erstwhile dominions of the Nizam of Hyderabad in India and now in Buldhana district in the state of Maharashtra is celebrated for its cave hermitages and halls. Located 99-km from Aurangabad, Maharashtra, the Ajanta encompasses 29 rock-cut rooms created between 200 BC and AD 650 using rudimentary hand tools. Most are viharas (living (The gigantic, 8th century Kailasa Temple,Ellora, Cave 1) quarters), while four are chaityas (temples). The Ajanta caves were discovered in the 19th century by a group of 12

It contains the largest cantilevered rock ceiling in the world. The Kailasa Temple is considered the pinnacie of Indian rock-cut architecture. The Kailasa temple was chiselled from a solid stone, It consists of a gateway, antechamber, assembly hall, sanctuary and tower.

Once a Sahaji was sharing a book on Indian palaces. Shree Mataji asked everyone to feel the range of vibrations coming out of each palace. All felt cool vibrations from an old palace in Badoda. Mother told "it was because of the fact that the architect of that palace was a realized soul." "The greatest friend you have is the Divine Power which is looking after you and doing everything for you." 13

 “Memories of Divine" This is to recollect experience of a Yogini, Auriol Williams who had her own vision on what dedication meant or how the surrender may come. This comes as a series of beautiful memories of our Divine Mother to share with everyone.a part of which gets reflected through the poem she composed... Sahaja Yogis from London. My parents had come back before and told me that Shri Mataji was coming. When She arrived, Her car pulled up and it was a Mercedes. I remember Her getting out of the car and She was wearing exactly the same sari as She had been wearing in the dream, so I knewexactly who She was. The Queen of Heaven When I was but a child I first saw the Queen of Heaven She stood swathed in silken garb with golden hue Her face it shone towards me with love and light will come and I will protect you is what She said to me The second verse is based on this experience: And She did come and She did protect me. I am the fire When I was still a child I saw the Queen of Once in Shri Mataji's house in Brompton Square, London, which was being redecorated, Mother was walking around and directing people. She would tell us where paintings and other decorations were to go and what colour this door or that window frame was to be painted. Heaven once more She stood upon the Earth ringed in fiery glow My fear was for my heavenly Mother but She turned and said I am your Mother I will allow no harm to It was a mess to begin with. One always has to make a mess to create a house. One day. Mother was wearing a synthetic nylon sari and walking around amid the rubble and dust. 1 was in a room where some come to you or me I fell at Her Feet and prayed I never had to leave I am older now and the world intrudes My Mother still protects me and loves me more people were making plaster moldings to go on cornices. Some other people had been working in the room too and But what of me, am I still at my Mother's Feet I may not be constant and I may not be perfect but She is within my heart and She is the soul of me. someone had left a blowtorch burning. It was pointing into the middle of the room and Mother walked in. Shri Mataji, wearing a highly inflammable nylon sari, walked towards the blowtorch and, as She AuriolWilliams The first verse is based on this experience: She was wearing the same sari as in my dream passed very close to it, the flame leapt right out of the nozzle and went completely around Shri Mataji two or three times, forming a ring a few centimetres away from the sari. Before I met Shri Mataji, my parents and I were going through a very rough patch in our lives. I was five at the time. I had a dream that an Indian lady, who I later discovered was Shri Mataji, was standing at the prow of this barge and She was looking towards me. I was not in the barge., 'Don't worry, I'll come and get you soon,' She said with great love in Her eyes, in the dream. She was wearinga sari which had spots on it and I remembered it very clearly. She appeared not to see the torch and walked straight in front of it. A flame leapt out of the torch, then went.round Her synthetic sari below knee height in a blue ring, then back into the torch. While all this was happening, I was horrified and took a dive across the room to move the torch. I landed in an undignified heap at Mother's Feet. When we realized what had happened, we looked up in amazement to find Shri Mataji smiling down at us. My parents went to meet Shri Mataji down in London. I didn't go down because we were living in Scotland at the time. However, Mother came up to our house with a lot of 1 am the fire, how could it hurt Me?' Shri Mataji said, and She went on Hler way to supervise putting in some pipes in the next room. 14

 "Introspection & Surrender" A Sahaj Yogini shares her Sahaj journey from one of ritualistic fanaticism to that of introspection and complete surrender. In an age where life is as fast as a metro and people have less time even for themselves, I This reminds me of a verse by Shri Shankracharya (8th century AD) thought taking out 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes in the evening would be too much Through the insight of self surrender Let my prattle become the recitation of Your name for me. But when that sweet The movements of my limbs, white bearded gentleman told me it is worth a trial, my heart unknowingly gave consent to it. Also the miracle of my fingers trying to give me new indications was a new thing for me. And thus gestures of worship to You My footsteps, perambulation around you My food, sacrificial offering to You My laying down, prostration to You Shri Mataji chose me. Whatever I do for my pleasure Years went by, believing that I had got my path. But then sometimes I felt something lacking... the eternal light was amiss. I started following Sahaja Yoga as a ritual. Doing the morning and evening meditation, sometimes some shoe beating, other techniques... Then one day I met a Turkish Sahaja Yogini who also happened to be my friend. We started talking about the general problems in life. And then she said that whatever one does or feels in one's life, if one is not surrendered fully to Mother, then there is no reason why we should feel that we are not getting total benefits of Sahaja Yoga. It was then that I realized that through the years I have been missing the most important essence of it all. Shri Mataji has been clearly saying that she would be looking after all our needs, But we have been short - sighted to see that once we take realization, it is all that is expected out of us. We Let it become transformed Into an act of Worship to You. I feel after trying to follow the given path, I feel I have tried to come closer to my spirit. For this thought also I thought that following the regular clearance routine and doing meditation was enough. But what I had been simply forgetting was the fact that Shri Krishna also asked for one simple thing and that is the "Ananya Bhakti."; which precisely means that whatever we do, should only and only be an ode to Shri Mataji. It has to be done with complete faith, complete surrender, and unconditional love. The benefits would be far reaching. That is to say that whatever is done as an ode to the Mother, cannot go wrong. So if our deeds are always right, their results would be also right and thus we would be peaceful with ourselves. And surely we would have no reasons to regret. am thankful to our Holy Mother.... But the bliss is all mine. Jai Shri Mataji. Ameeta Dara "It is God who rules, it is He who does, it is He who has created everything and it is He who Enjoys everything." 16

 "Papaji's Words of Wisdom" On their 59th wedding anniversary, Papaji shares his and Mother's experience of stay in Australia and how Australian Sahaja Yogis have set an example for all of us to follow. People talk of heaven which is somewhere, I don't know where. But if there is heaven anywhere, it is here; if there are April 7, 2006 It is difficult to express oneself when one is moved by angels anywhere, they are sitting here; and I really admire emotions. Allow me first to thank you, Sir Mr. Michael you, I love you and I want to worship you as Her creation, as Fogarty, for your very kind words of congratulations, and angels created by the Goddess. It is a perfect heavenly may I reciprocate by congratulating you on having gathering where She is residing and you are all here, and it is celebrated your own 45th Wedding Anniversary.And I wish a model, and wherever I go l'll preach this. It's the kind of relationship that you have, the kind of commitment that you have, the kind of devotion you have to the highest values of many, many more; many more than fifty-nine. For me these fifty-nine years have been heavenly. life, is truly, truly astounding, and if I hadn't seen it I would Everything that I have done, I owe and charge it to one person, the person who is sitting next to me here. And also have found it difficult to believe, but there it is. So, it's a great, great experience, very elevating experience which I have had wherever. going, and I want to express, I can't thank I am probably the most you will agrée, all of you, that fortunate human being on Earth!... you, thank you is not the word. I can only express my admiration and my love, and my deepest gratitude for all that you have done. ButI do want to say that coming to Australia has been an absolutely wonderful experience, wonderful. I do not say anything that I don't feel in my heart. I can tell you honestly that I have been a great admirer of your Mother's Sahaja Yoga. But when I came here and saw the Sahaja Yoga as practised in Imagine, the Sahaja Yogis had no more than six weeks' notice of our coming here, and in six weeks they remodelled this whole house. Who on earth could have done it, and done it so beautifully? But it is, it is Australia, I realised how heaven on earth! What else is glorious the concept was, because I have seen Sahaja Yoga here at its best; and please believe me, that is true. It is every moment, every day has been absolutely wonderful just wonderful to see how all of you constitute one loving. and olorious. I can go on and on about this, but I want to tell caring family, the kind of family that She wanted to create, something a little more, and it is that I am deeply grateful to and She has successfully created here. Your devotion to Australia and Australian Sahaja Yogis, your collective, for Sahaja Yoga is unparalleled. Your commitment to each having provided the medical team which has looked after other is unparalleled. Here you see real brothers and your Mother, and I want to express my very, very deep sisters, Sahaja Yogis and Sahaja Yoginis, they are at their gratitude to Dr. Bohdan and Dr. Ramesh Manocha, and the best, Yuva Shakti are at their best, .. Shakti are at their nurses, sisters who are here. They have done a marvellous best, everything. How you do it, I don't understand, I don't job and Australia, Australian Sahaja Yogis, Australian know; but I want to tell you thatI am profoundly grateful, that climate, hospitality, and the medical team, they have all had when you and your friends extended invitation to your awonderful effect on Her. heaven? So in six weeks' time! And ever since we have come, Mother which is right, you included me also in that and and I announced... t life would have been incomplete if I had not had this show you, She is much, much better. She is feeling happier, experience. I have been noticing ever since I have come, and I want to that I may accept it. Well I have..., my She is much better than She was, and for me there could be nothing better than that, that She should be better. And assure you thatit is because of 17

 Australia, because of your love, and because of the doctors and the nurses who have given of their best, everything possible. And 1 have also been the recipient of great, kindness. I can't thank them enough. I owe my life to these doctors. I would not probably have been here, but for them. So this was something in my heart that I wanted to mention, that we have had wonderful programs, we have wonderful food from the kitchen, everything has been perfect. I dan't know that there could be anything better than what we have experienced. So I want to conclude now, but I conclude by expressing a beautiful exampie. So I congratulate Chris again, for whatever; and you know he is behind everything, I know that. Sitting here, I know what he is doing, which is never in the forefront. He is pushing everybody else: "You come, and you come, and you come." It's marvellous, and I admire him, and he is setting a new example, I will cite it, wherever ! go. And thank you all very much: you are all the same. Nobody is the leader here, everyone is together. This is the real meaning of collective leadership, and this is what She wanted. She wants this kind of leadership. And I assure you Thave seen this only here so far. But this is Her dream, and I'll carry this message everywhere. This is how Sahaja Yoga will... collectively on behalf of your Mother, Her love for you, and Her warm appreciation. I am sure She is extremely happy that Her children have done so beautifully here. I carry with me wonderful memories, carry them always, and I told them in a gathering, you have asked for trouble, and trouble will So thank you again very, very much; thank you. And now, to the music team: very beautiful music, always. come: we will come back. Thank you. There is one thing more that I want to say: if you go to another country, you know immediately who is the leader and who the followers. Here you come, you look around, you don't know who the leader is; because the leader here is a wonderful person, he does not lead, he invites every other person to lead. And that is how a collective should work. It is also a very, very good example of how Her idea of collective leadership should be implemented. I want to congratulate Chris and Michael Fogarty and all of you, on the wonderful way in which you are implementing Her view of Sahaja Yoga. It is difficult to find Chris, because he is... there, not here even. This is really, this is leadership. This is what She wants, She wants everyone to participate in the same way. That is the meaning of collective leadership and I assure, I tell you really, this is a glorious example, "God is infinite. You don't have to count His aspects. You want to enjoy Him. The wise simply eat the fruit, They do not count the leaves, roots and branches.' (G) 18

 "SA RE GA MA..." Music helps us establish our connection with the all pervading power of God. The seven basic notes (sa, re, ga...) correspond to our seven chakras and encompass in them the pure knowledge which gets manifested in various forms like ragas, bhajans, ghazals, etc. Sa Re Ga Mais the bridge that helps connect our physical to the subtle, Genesis and Evolution of Indian Music The earliest existent work that provides considerable extended their patronage to music. Music flourished in India information on music theory is Bharata's Natyashastra, under Muslim rule and was subject to a number of new which is primarily a treatise on the dramatic arts, including infiuences, including those of the mystic Sufi sect. As a music. This work was probably written in the period consequence new elements, forms, and instruments came between the 3rd century B.C. And the 5th century A.D. In to be introduced into Indian Music. Among the vocal forms, the beginning, it is believed that music was known only to were the Qual which gave rise to the Qawwali and the Tarana, both of which are heard today. The sitar and the tabla also belong to this period. The Persian poet Amir Khusrau (1253AD-1325 AD) is believed to have made a major contribution in the development of the Qawwali as well as the Sitar (which was also called Sahatara). Rulers such as Mohammed bin Tughlaq and the sultan of Jaunpur, Ibrahim Shah Shariq were known to have encouraged music and maintained several musicians in their courts during the 14th and 15th centuries. Among the later 15th and 16th century patrons were Raja Man Singh Tomar of Gwalior and Hussain Shah Sharqi of Jaunpur. Musical patronage reached its zenith under the Mughal Lord Shiva, Lord Brahmadeva and the goddess Saraswati, emperors Akbar (1555-1605AD), Jahangir (1605-1627AD), This art was later taught to the Gandharvas and Apsaras and Shahjahan (1628-1658AD). The legendary composer (celestial's musicians). It was Bharata, Narada and Lord Hanuman who brought it to the earth. According to the scriptures, sage Narada practiced great austerities for several years and was honored by Lord Shiva who taught him the great art of music. It is said that from the sleeping position (Shayanmudra) of his wife, goddess Parvati, Lord Shiva created the Rudravina (an instrument with a form similar to the sitar). From his five mouths, five ragas emerged while a sixth was created by the goddess Parvati. These ragas were named according to Lord Shiva's movements to east, west, north, and south and toward the sky, and were called Bhairav, Hindol, Megh, Deepak, and Shri. Raga Kaushik was created by the goddess Parvati Tansen (1492-1589AD) is believed to have been a member herself. of the court of Akbar. His enchanting music is believed to have had the powerto bring rains and light lamps. Indian Music as we know it today evolved during medieval period. In the 13th century, Sarangadeva authored a large work called Sangitaratnakara, which listed 264 ragas. By this time, the Islamic presence was beginning to be felt in Music was also becoming more popular and was no longer the preserve of the upper classes. Most compositions had initially been in Sanskrit but by the India and it heralded a new era in Indian music. Muslim 19

 sixteenth century they were being composed in the various dialects of Hindi - Braj Bhasa and Bhojpuri among them as well as Persian and Urdu. A key role in this regard was played by the great poet-salnts who chose to communicate in the vernacular tongues. Their compositions created a great upheaval in north India and led to the bhakti (devotional) movement. The Ilyrics of Surdas (1483- 1563AD), Tulsidas (1532-1623AD), Kabir (1440-1518AD) and Mirabai (1450-1547AD) were set to music, and Bhajans (devotional songs) became immensely popular. Music & Sahaj The 7 notes correspond to our 7 chakras in the ascending order, More specifically, komal note specially relate to the left side of the corresponding Chakra, and shuddha/tivra to the center and right side. Bilawal, Shyam Kalyan Mooladhara: It was during this phase that two separate systems emerged as a result of the Islamic influence on the existing Swadhisthana: Yaman, Todi, Gun kali, Lalit, Nabhi: Heart: Bhairav, Durga, Bhairavi, Vishuddhi: Jayjayvanti, Bhup, Bageshri, Agnya: Sahasrara: Bhairavi, Darbari, system in northern and central India while the south remained free from this domination. This led to emergence of two forms of Indian Music-Hindustani (North Indian) and Carnatic (South Indian). "Kundalini is our Mother, The arrival of British rule saw the violin entering the repertoire of South Indian music in the mid-eighteenth century. However, the British had no time for musicians who had received patronage under the Mughal emperors and the development of music in this period was limited. A significant development was the use of music to promote nationalism during the Indian freedom struggle. The period since independence has also seen the emergence of a new we are her only children and She has been with us through all our lives just waiting for the generation of artistes who uphold the finest traditions of Indian music. These include the likes of Amjad Ali Khan, Moment of fulfilment." Gangubai Hangal, Bismillah Khan and many others. Film music is however, the most popular music in India today. Popular Indian films are seldom without songs. Ghazals (poetic compositions in Urdu set to music), Bhajans and Qawwalis also retain their popularity. 20

Another miracle was, that while arrangements had been made for about 250 participants, the actual number at the time of lunch was just about three times of that. Besides, just then there was heavy rain and storm. But Shri Mataji's Love again managed everything. By Goddess Annapurna's grace, spontaneous-ly, arrangements were made, and food was ready for all the participants. We all deeply thanked our Mother for showering Her Love. attention on Shri Mataji and on the flow of vibrations from our hands covering us with Shri Mataji's Power of Love. The participants were told about the aims of forming Nirmal Shakti Yuva Sangh as desired by Shri Mataji. It was also explained how one can be benefited in studies with the Blessings of Sahaja Yoga. After the seminar, parents have reported that their children are meditating and doing foot-soak at home, of their own, and are enjoying the thoughtless awareness and vibrations and the feeling of devotion towards our In the Seminar, time was earmarked to enjoy and encourage the feeling of "Sangha -the collectivity" amongst the youngsters.

 "अष्टविनायक की यात्रा" सभी "निर्मल शक्ति" के हृदय में माँ ने एक इच्छा को जन्म दिया की अपने जन्मदिवस के शुभ अवसर पर उन्हें महाराष्ट्र में स्थित अष्टविनायक की मिट्टी के गणपति भेट किये जाएं और अष्टविनायक जाने का यह अवसर हम पति-पत्नी को प्राप्त हुआ चेतन्य लहरियों का बहुत तेज अनुभव हुआ और हम वहीं मन्दिर प्रागण में बैठ गये । श्री चिन्तामणी की सुंड बाई ओर है और यह एक नन्हें बालक के समान लगते हैं। इसके बाद हम नन्दिर के चारों ओर निट्टी के लिए घूमने लगे लेकिन मन्दिर पक्का बना होने के कारण मिट्टी कहाँ मिलती ?तभी बस के एक यात्री ने सुझाव दिया की प्रांगण के पेड़ की मिट्टी ले लो । इसके बाद हम श्री मपूरेश्वर जी की यात्रा पर पहुँचे । इसी प्रकार बारी-बारी से हमने श्री सिद्धटेक श्री राजणगाव गणपती, श्री ओझर श्री गिरिजात्मज लोण्याद्री, श्री बल्लेश्वर और महट् की यात्रा की । इस प्रकार हमारी अप्टविनायक की यात्रा पूर्ण हुई। इस यात्रा में हमने देखा कि हम दोनों तो नन्दिर के प्रांगण में चेतन्य लहरियों का आनन्द लेने श्री भाताजी के परम आ्शीवाद और प्रेम के कारण हमें अष्टविनायक ाम की यात्रा का अचसर प्राप्त हुआ । हमने सुना पा कि इस समय सभी गण श्री माता जी के इस अवतरण में उनकी अराधना करने व उनके सभी कार्यों को करने के लिए तत्पर रहते हैं, लेकिन अपनी अराधना का सीभाग्य माँ ने केवल हम सहजयोगियों को बैठते ये और सभी बस को यात्री हमारी मिट्टी के लिए प्रयत्न करते था कोई आस-पास के खेत दूढता, तो कई पेड़ की मिट्टी उठाता और कोई उसे स्वोदने के लिए लकड़ी दुंढ कर ले आता । हृदय एक अदभुत दृश्य को खुली ऑखों से देख रहा था कि किस प्रकार गण कूप में आकर नीं की इच्छा को पूरा कर रहे हैं। प्रदान किया है, उसी का जीवन्त उदाहरण यह यात्रा रही । हमारी एयरटिकट से 1. ा लेकर हमारी पूरी यात्रा में हर क्षण हम उन सभी गणों के प्रबन्ध व संचालन व्यवस्था को सुली आँखों से देख रहे थे। 17.02.2006 को अचानक मेरे पति ने कहा कि इस शुभ कार्य के लिए अष्टविनायक जाना है । किसी ट्रेन की टिकट नही हो पाई और सभी गढ़ियाँ व्यस्त पाई गई फिर उन्होंने एवरटिकट बुक कर दी जो बहुत ही कम दामों में हमें मिल गई हमें एक घन्टा पहले एयरपोर्ट पहुँचना था लेकिन अचानक प्रोग्रान बनने के कारण हमें देर पर देर होती जा रही थी । इमें लगा कि फ्लाईट छूट जायेगी, लेकिन जब हम देर से एपरपोर्ट पहुँचे तो रास्ते में एक जगह शाम के समय मेरी तबीयत खराब हो गई और हमारे पास काई दवाई बगैरा नहीं था। बस के लगभग सभी याविरयों ने बारी-बारी मुझे अपनी चिन्ता व प्यार जताया और कुछ-कुछ मुझे रवाने को देते रहें, उनके प्रेम के कारण मुझे रात तक एकदम ठीक लगने लगा । इस यात्रा में बस वाले ने हमारे लिए खाने की जो व्यवस्था की थी बो किसी राजभोग से कम नहीं थी केवल 900 पता लगा कि फ्लाइट एक घन्टा लेट है । हमने मां को पूर्ण हृदय से धन्यवाद दिया और बस तभी से हमें लगा की सभी गण हमारे लाथ अपना कार्य शुक् कर रूपये में दो दिन की यात्रा, रहने की बहुत बढ़िया व्यवस्या और इतना स्पेशल चुके हैं। पूना पहुँच कर हमें पता चला कि सुबह 6 बजे सूर्य होटल के पास शनिवार बाड़ा नामक स्थान से इस यात्रा के लिए बसें चलती हैं हमें सूबह 6 बजे निश्चित स्थान पर पहुँच गये लेकिन सभी बसे भरी हुई थी और हमें पता चला कि इसके लिए 15 दिन की बुकिंग चल रही है । एक बस चालक ने हमें बताया कि हमें बुकिंग लेकर आना चाहिए था, अब काई भी बस आपको नहीं मिल पायेगी" सभी यात्री 15 दिन पहले बुकिंग करवा कर जाते हैं। धीरे धीरे सभी गाड़ियोँ चली गई और इम बहुत निराश हो कर सड़क के किनारे खड़े हो गये । स्वाना इस प्रकार का प्रबन्ध केवल माँ डी करवा सकती हैं और उससे भी अधिक माँ का प्रेम और गणों के साथ की गई अपनी इस यात्रा का अनुभव अदभूद है । इस प्रकार हमारी अष्टविनायक की यात्रा पूर्ण हुई। अष्टविनायक से लायी गयी भिट्टी को दिल्ली युया शक्ति ने एक बहुत ही सुंदर गणेश स्वकूप में दाला । श्री मालाजी के जन्म दिवस के ठीक एक महीने। बाद यानी 21 अप्रेल 2006 को श्री माताजी के युवाशक्ति की तरफ से ये भेट प्रस्तुत करी गयी। श्री माताजी युकवा शक्ति के इस तोहफे से बहुत हमें लगा कि ज्ञायद हम इस यात्रा के योग्य नही हैं। इतने में पता नहीं कहाँ से एक बस कंडक्टर आया और कहने लगा कि इस जगह से लगभग 2 किमी. दूर एक बत में केवल दो यात्रियों की जगह स्वाली है। हम तुरन्त ओटो करके वहाँ पहुँचे और हमें उस बस में जगह मिल गई सचगुच मेरे पास शब्द नहीं कि वो क्षण और उसमें घटती हर एक घटना को शब्दों में कैसे लिखखा जाए । ऐसा लगा सुदर प्रसन्न हुए " कि पूरी बस गणों ने अलग से खास हमारे लिए तैयार की और हम दोंनो कुछ विशेष है जो पूरी सुरक्षा व प्रेम के साथ परमेश्वरी के कार्य के लिए ले जाऐ जा रहे हैं। बस के सभी यात्रियों से जल्दी ही हमारी दोस्ती हो गई और सभी को हमने श्री माता जी, सहजयोग और अष्टविनायक की मिट्टी के विषय में बताया । सबसे पहले हम श्री चिन्तानणी प्रसन्ना के मन्दिर पहुँचे । यह पूना से 25 किमी. दूर स्थित है । सभी जगह अराधना के लिए दूर्वाघास, लाल गुड़ल का फूल और गोदक भा हमने मन्दिर में प्रवेश किया और चैतन्य व नारियल का प्रसाद उपलब्ध लहरियों द्वारा अनुभव प्राप्त करने की इच्छा की । लेकिन शुरू में हमें पकड़ का आहसास हुआ । हमने श्री माता जी से प्रार्थना की "नौं कृप्या हनें स्वयभू श्री चिन्तामणी गणेश के दर्शन प्रदान करे। तीन बार प्रार्थना करने पर हमें ठण्डी अष्टविनायक की मिट्टी के गणपति ত 23

Some priceless jewels on selected topics, extracted from the treasure trove of our Mother's eternal words of wisdom,
have been strung into exquisite necklace called "Nirmal Vani". This issue, lets focus on mother's advice on how to
establish the eternal child within us.

तीन स्पष्ट दृष्टिकोणो से देख सकते है। यानी एक भक्त कवि के रूप
में, एक समाजिक चिन्तक सुधारक रूप में और एक योगी
आत्मसाक्षात्कारी स्वरूप में। पिद्दले अंक में हमने उनके भक्तकवि स्वरूप

योगी आत्मसाक्षात्कारी स्वरूप
भली भाँति परिचित थे। सहज ध्यान और श्री कवीर के वचन दोनो का
भाव एक ही है कि हम अपने आलतत्व में लीन रहे। सद्गुरू के बचन
सहज ध्यान में रहने ही का आदेश है। उन्होंने अपने दोहो में कहा है कि
मन का निबिचार हो जाना ही ध्यान है। जब तक हम संकल्प में रहते हैं
तब तक हमारा मन संसार में रहता है और जब सारे संकल्प समाप्त हो
जाते हैं तो शेष रह जाति है केवल शुद्ध चेतना। इसलिए व्यवहारिक्ता में
भी साधक मन का पारखी बना जाता है और हर समय सभी संकलपों का

सहज समाधि लीन रहता है।
जब मैं था तय हरि नहीं अब हरि हैं ैं नाही
सब अंधियारा मिट गया दीपक देह समाही।।
इन सुंदर और सरल शब्दों से उनका परमात्मा से एकाकार होने का वर्णन
मिलता है। उन्होंने वो मार्ग बता दिया जो हमे उस परम ज्योति से मिला
देता है। एकाकार होकर केवल एक ही सत्ता और रोशनी रह जाती है।

उनके लेखन और जीवन में सहजयोग ही झलकता है। कबीर हम
सहजयोगियों के पूर्वज सहजयोगी थे। अत्यंत सरल भाषा में उन्होंने
संपूर्ण सत्य का सार बताया कि जब उस परमेशवर से एकीकरण हो जाता
है तो बाकि कुछ भी शेष नहीं रह जाता। सब खोकर विलीन हो जाता है
एक ही परम चेतना के प्रकाश में ।

ये सभी उद्गार जो उनकी बाणी में स्पष्ट होकर वताते हैं कि कबीर
सहज समाधी में लीन व्यक्ति थे। परम पूज्य श्रीमाताजी ने भी अपने कई
प्रबचनों में अत्यंत प्रेमपूर्वक चर्चा की है कि कबीर उस सहज समावि से

before and told me that Shri Mataji was coming. When She
arrived, Her car pulled up and it was a Mercedes. I

there is no reason why we should feel that we are not
getting total benefits of Sahaja Yoga. It was then that I
realized that through the years I have been missing the
most important essence of it all. Shri Mataji has been
clearly saying that she would be looking after all our
needs, But we have been short - sighted to see that once
we take realization, it is all that is expected out of us. We
Let it become transformed
Into an act of Worship to You.
I feel after trying to follow the given path, I feel I have
tried to come closer to my spirit. For this thought also I
thought that following the regular clearance routine and
doing meditation was enough. But what I had been
simply forgetting was the fact that Shri Krishna also
asked for one simple thing and that is the "Ananya
Bhakti."; which precisely means that whatever we do,
should only and only be an ode to Shri Mataji. It has to be
done with complete faith, complete surrender, and
unconditional love. The benefits would be far reaching.
That is to say that whatever is done as an ode to the
Mother, cannot go wrong. So if our deeds are always
right, their results would be also right and thus we would
be peaceful with ourselves. And surely we would have no
reasons to regret.

mine.

So this was something in my heart that I wanted to mention,
that we have had wonderful programs, we have wonderful

know that there could be anything better than what we have
experienced.
So I want to conclude now, but I conclude by expressing
a beautiful exampie. So I congratulate Chris again, for
whatever; and you know he is behind everything, I know
that. Sitting here, I know what he is doing, which is never in
the forefront. He is pushing everybody else: "You come, and

Thank you.
There is one thing more that I want to say: if you go to
another country, you know immediately who is the leader
and who the followers. Here you come, you look around,
you don't know who the leader is; because the leader
here is a wonderful person, he does not lead, he invites
every other person to lead. And that is how a collective
should work. It is also a very, very good example of how
Her idea of collective leadership should be implemented. I
want to congratulate Chris and Michael Fogarty and all of
you, on the wonderful way in which you are implementing
Her view of Sahaja Yoga. It is difficult to find Chris,
because he is... there, not here even. This is really, this is
leadership. This is what She wants, She wants everyone
to participate in the same way. That is the meaning of
collective leadership and I assure, I tell you really, this is a
glorious example,

have to count His aspects.
You want to enjoy Him.

Tarana, both of which are heard today. The sitar and the
tabla also belong to this period. The Persian poet Amir
Khusrau (1253AD-1325 AD) is believed to have made a
major contribution in the development of the Qawwali as
well as the Sitar (which was also called Sahatara).
Rulers such as Mohammed bin Tughlaq and the sultan of
Jaunpur, Ibrahim Shah Shariq were known to have
encouraged music and maintained several musicians in
their courts during the 14th and 15th centuries. Among the
later 15th and 16th century patrons were Raja Man Singh

According to the scriptures, sage Narada practiced great
austerities for several years and was honored by Lord Shiva
who taught him the great art of music. It is said that from the
sleeping position (Shayanmudra) of his wife, goddess
Parvati, Lord Shiva created the Rudravina (an instrument
with a form similar to the sitar). From his five mouths, five
ragas emerged while a sixth was created by the goddess
Parvati. These ragas were named according to Lord Shiva's
movements to east, west, north, and south and toward the
sky, and were called Bhairav, Hindol, Megh, Deepak, and

played by the great poet-salnts who chose to communicate
in the vernacular tongues. Their compositions created a
great upheaval in north India and led to the bhakti
(devotional) movement. The Ilyrics of Surdas (1483-
1563AD), Tulsidas (1532-1623AD), Kabir (1440-1518AD)
