"Devay Namo Namah" The onus of bringing the Last Judgment has been given to Shri Kalki (the tenth incarnation of Shri Vishnu, to be born in Kaliyuga). Let us try and understand what Shri Mataji has described about Him. Om Twameva Sakshat "Shri Kalki" Sakshat Shri Adishakti Mataji Shri Nirmala Devyei Namo Namah Shri Mataji has often talked about the Last Judgment. She situated on your bhaala. Bhaala is the forehead. And here has repeated many a times that in these modern times the He is going to be born. That is resurrection of the people will happen through their the real meaning of the word Sambhaalpur. In between, Kundalini Awakening only. Before the Last Judgment there is a time given for resurrection. One may ask what is Jesus Christ, and His resurrection? Resurrection means rising to life after death, destroying incarnation, of which was shown by Jesus Christ (when He rose to life on Mahavishnu - called as Kalki, the third day after His crucifixion). Resurrection of Christ there is a time given to human beings to rectify themselves, was a symbolical happening of self-realisation, because in for them to enter into our realization we rise from our three dimensional existence the of Mind/Body/Emotions (which is dead matter, remains only Kingdom of God, which in the with the human life) to the state of Spirit (which is eternally Bible is called as Last Judgment. That you'll be judged, all of you... will be judged living and never dies). People who have their Sahastrara open and are in the on this earth. The population of the world is the maximum, they say, because all those - practically all those who had Kingdom of God, will be the only one to pass this Judament: aspirations to enter into the Kingdom of God are born in the that is why Sahaja Yoga has been described as the Last Judgment by Shri Mataji, Shri Kalki (the tenth and fast modern times and are going to be born very soon, This is the Incarnation of Shri Vishnu ) will be the one who will do this most important time, because Sahaja Yoga is the Last Judgment." Judgment. Shri Mataji is the Holy Spirit, She is Shri Kalki, There are eleven Rudras in Him, means there are She is the comforter, the redeemer and the saviour. It has been prophesized that Shri Kalki will come on a white horse eleven destructive powers absolutely powerfully settled in and only pious souls will be able to ride this white horse. The Him... Which are, guarding, the beauty of Sahaj Yoga. white horse of Shri Kalki is collective consciousness Anybody who tries to play around with Sahaja Yoga is harmed very badly." (saamuhik chetna). "... The word Kalki, actually is an abbreviation of the word "... You have not come here to add to your sins, but to Nishkalank. Nishkalank means the same as my name is, cleanse them this is the time of cleansing, that's why I am here as Nirmala, to cleanse it! Whatever is wrong is wrong, which means Nirmala it is spotlessly clean, something that is spotlessly clean is - Nishkalanka, without any spots on. whether it is today, tomorrow or yesterday or thousands of Now this incarnation has been described in many Puranas year back, whatever is wrong for your dharma, for your will be coming onthis earth on a white horse, in a village of sustenance is wrong! The new phrase, is that "What's Sambhaalpur, they call it, Sambhaalpur. Is very interesting wrong in this, what's wrong in that?" That question will be everything so literally. answered by Kalaki only! I'm just telling you that it is wrong, take how The people world Sambhaala means: bhaala is, this forehead, sambahaal and it is extremely wrong, it is against your ascent, it is means at that stage. That means Kalaki is against your being, and then you will not have any time to repent and to ask this question: "What's person, who is going to get. When the Kalaki chakra is caught-up. all your wrong?" You will be chopped off. fingers, start burning. On the hands, and So many rakshasas have entered into your brains. You side with so many people who are wrong, who are doing on the palm, sometimes even in the body, you get terrible burning. A person's wrong, who are doing all kinds of wrong things in the name Kalaki chakra catching means, he might of politics, in the name of religion, in the name of progress be down, with a, horrible disease like and education and all that. Once you are sided with them, cancer maybe, leprosy. Maybe any such then they are in your brain, they are within you. And when they are within you, how to destroy? The dushkruthaams diseases, or maybe that he is about to collapse into some sort of a calamity. So Kalaki chakra must be kept all right in balance. At least there are eleven sub-chakras of the Kalaki (the evil doers), they are within you! You may be a good person, but you may be destroyed because of having them chakra. And out of them, at least try to keep some of them in your heads. So there is no hard and fastrule as to sav who alive, so that the others can be rescued. But if all the chakras is a real negative and who is a real positive." are ruined, then, it is very difficult to give you realization. I'm here to work for you day and night, that you kriow I What is the thing one should do, to keep your Kalaki all work very hard for you. I'll spare no efforts, to help you and do everything that is possible, to make you all right to pass right? To keep your Kalaki all right you must have that awe for God. If you do not have awe for God, if you are not afraid this examination of Last Judgment. But you have to of God, if you are not afraid, that if you do wrong He is there cooperate with Me and you have to go headlong about it and with His wrath. And that He is a wrathful God, and that He is full of. poison for us, if we try to do anything wrong, if there is devote most of your time for Sahaja Yoga and for imbibing all that is great and noble. no fear of that. Not that it is to be hidden from Me, or from *...Today is the day, of warning you, because you have anybody else but not you yourself know that you are doing asked Me to talk, about Kalaki. He is placed on our wrong. If you are doing something wrong, and you know in forehead. When the Kalaki is caught-up the chakra of your hearts of hearts that "I am doing something wrong,.' please, don't do it! Otherwise your Kalaki will go out. Kalaki is caught-up the whole of Buddha, on top, goes out of order. In the Kundalini awakening, we find, that the Buddha is all out of order it doesn't rise; the whole head becomes a blockade. Such people do not allow the Kundalini to rise above, the... we can say the Hamsa chakra. At the most they might try to, raise up to Agnya, but the Kundalini falls down. Of course one of the reasons as I said that if you, put your forehead before wrong gurus, also, you suffer. But too much thinking also creates a problem on the right-hand-side here, and one of the... one of the aspects of Kalaki gets spoilt. And there is an imbalance is created, on this side. The whole forehead, if it is, full of lots of bumps, then one must know, that the Kalaki chakra is out of order. If the Kalaki chakra is out of order, the person is about to go into some sort of a very bad calamity; is a sign, of a "Nirmal Vani" 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. BROTHER SISTER RELATIONSHIP superego is controlled, your The Left Vishuddhi family is contralled, everybody In our Sahaja Yoga the significance of left wrist is that it is the is under control, under the left Vishuddhl. Left Vishuddhi, which is here. And this is the left Vishuddhi expressed here, you know that very well guidance of this pure power of Now, left Vishuddhi is the place where our relationship of Vishnumaya which exists within all of us. brothers and sisters exist. When they are disturbed within Now, in a group we are sitting uS we start getting the problem of the left Vishuddhi. In these here, like that, in any group a modern times the talk of pure relationship seems to be quite brother and a sister they are, boring for many people, but it's very practical and logical. I they know that they exist as would say it is the most scientific thing to do. For example, every brother has a special feeling for a sister, and her brothers and sisters, bur they triMet the Etam BtaA chastity is very dear to every brother, if he is a normal don't cling onto one person, person, if he's abnormal then forget it. But normally a they don't talk to one person, they don't get friendly with that brother is very particular about the chastity of the sister, and sister. But a brother and a sister are never friends. But normally you don't talk to your brother much nor the brother he doesn't like anybody to- in any way-even pass a remark talks to you so much, you don't get friendly. But at the time of against the chastity of his sister... but the normal thing is to difficulties, at the time of maryadas, at the time of consulting feel that way, purely, about the sister. And the sister about about some thing that is dear to the family, the sister comes. the brother. Brothers and sisters' relations are extremely The brother is protected by sister. And the sister's chastity is pure and are also accepted in this country very well.. looked after by the brother. A brother who doesn't feel hurt if Left Vishuddhi comes out of guilt. But in the subconscious his sister chastity is in danger or she plays about with her the greatest guilt in a human being is when he crosses the chastity, he is not a brother. He is not a brother anymore. limits of sisterhood. This is the greatest guilt in his mind He's responsible to see that his sister keeps her chastity. which he is not aware. Only her chastity can protect him it's a mutual working. This Shri Vishnumaya & Brother-Sister relationships feeling, if it does rot develop that, "She is my sister and that! Vishnumaya's power is to protect your chastity. Now the have to look after her chastity, for that I have to behave sister's job is not to take sides, but to show that if you cross myself well, so that she doesn't find faults with me." It's such SO you limits of your brotherliness then there will be a a cleansing process this relationship has, as much as the lightening, because the sister in the family has to see that electricity has the cleansing process for you. the brothers don't fight, they are all looked after well, that So how the brother's love can compel even Adi Shakti to do they are not challenged by others, that she gives them the maryadas how far to go. How far to go. So the limiting forces things that She would not normally do. In the same way, when Draupadi was challenged, Shri Krishna was not in of Vishnumaya are such, that your ego is controlled, your Hastinapur where it happened. He was thousand, at least more than thousand miles away from that place. He said had married an Indian lady and the great Alexander was in jail. That was the day of Vishnumaya. So she sent this lady that, "Shankha chakra gada padma, garuda lai sidhare." He came on His condor with all His weapons shankha, chakra, was very clever, his wife she sent a rakhi in a small, little gada, padma. All these He brought to save the chastity of thali covered nicely to the King Puru. And, as the rituals are, that day this was presented to him. So he had to accept. If it His Sister. is sent, you have to accept. A sister sends it with Now this sisterly relationship existed in other incarnations deliberations but you have to accept. And he accepted it, also. Like Mohammed Sahib had a sisterly relationship with and it was tied. Then Puru said, "Who is my sister?" They actually what we have to say that His Sister as such was Ali's said, "Your sister is the wife of Alexander." Said, "Oh God, wife, but She was born to him as a daughter. So They can be that meansI have arrested my own brother-in-law!" born as a Daughter or as the Sister. She was born as Immediately becomes a brother-in-law, immediately. No Nanaka's Sister Nanaki. In the same way, Sahaja Yogis and marriage took place, nothing. He's a brother-in-law. He rushed to the jail, fell flat before the great emperor. Sahaja Yoginis are brothers and sisters. You have to understand that you are brothers and sisters, and the Alexander couldn't understand, "What's happening to Puru? relationship between us has to be purer and purer and Why did he do all this?" Puru said, "Sir, I am sorry", in his own language, "I'm sorry I didn't know you were my brother- purer. There should be no choice going on between brothers and sisters- but if somebody has a feeling for someone from in-law. I'm sorry whatever I've done. Will you forgive me?" the very beginning, not like a sister, then a relationship can and all that. And he brought him, asked him to sit on his be established or somebody sees someone for the first time, throne. Alexander couldn't understand, "What's this going not as a Sahaja Yogini but is shown as a bride or something, on?" "Please." Made him sit there, garlanded him, did his then it's a different point. But if the person has been a Sahaja aarti, gave him ornaments, gave him big garlands of Yogi and a Sahaja Yogini, let this feeling grow within you of diamonds and rubies and things, and touched his feet, complete purity. It will clear out many of our problems and you will be amazed, our attention will settle down really washed his feet and then, with great honor, sent him home. He couldn't understand. "Has he gone mad or he's beautifully within us. possessed by someone?" He must have thought, "Some For a Sahaja Yogi it is very important to look after our Greek has possessed this fellow", the way he was chastity. As I told you yesterday, it is not necessary to find a surrendering. When he went home his wife was smiling. He girl for yourself, or a boy for yourself. It is also against the said, "Why are you smiling?" She said, "I knew the trick will rules of chastity, I am not saying that you should allow your work with Indian mind." "What was the trick?" She showed parents to decide, but let him one string. "This was the trick." He couldn't understand, the Sahaja Yoga decide, started looking at it. "What is this?" She said, "This is the because you are Sahaja rakhi. This is the thing I sent him. This has the symbol of a Yogis. You are born after sister, that's how you're released." Alexander sat back. He the image of Ganesha who said, "Oh God, these people can release their enemies on a ultimately becomes Christ. The Strength of Rakhi string? I can't capture these people. They are too good. They are too subtle. These subtleties we cannot When Alexander the Great understand." was arrested by one king called Puru.

When Pratap's first cousin Prithviraj Rathore, who was one of Akbar's courtiers and great poet, heard of this offer, he was astonished and grieved by Maharana Pratap's decision, and told Akbar that the note was the forgery of some foe to defame the Mewar king.

During a dark chapter of Rajput history, Pratap alone stood firmly for his honor and dignity; he never compromised his honor for safety. In an incident, the womenfolk of Abdur Rahim Khankhana, a mughal officer, fell into the hands of Pralap's son Amar Singh. At this point of time, Khankhana was actually on the march against Pratap, and was camping at Sherpur in order to make preparations for an assault against Pratap. Nonwithstanding all this, Pratap commanded his son Amar Singh (eldest of 17 sons and 5 daughters) to arrange for the safe conveyance of the mughal ladies to their camp. Khankhana was so affected by this incident that he refused to campaign against such a chivalrous monarch. As the sun raises at dawn we, the collective sit on the lawn.

The three-and-half coils of kundalini awakening. This perfect liberation took place for kundalini relate to the three "moods" (basic principles) of the Buddha after he had renounced all his attachments and creation and the half coil to the primordial power. These temptations. If kundalini awakening takes place in "non- moods are Mahakali, Mahasaraswati and Mahalaxmi: perfect" human beings, she starts cleansing different energy centers, the "charkas". The last and complete liberation is the union of the soul, the atma (Shri Shiva) with the kundalini (Shakti) in order to make the atma aware or conscious in us. desire(and destruction of evil). action(and creation), and finally the power of the central channel(evolution).

Tukaram says "today my service has borne fruit" considerable difference between the mooladhara- chakra and the mooladhar which lies above it (sacrum), the triangular bone at the end of the spine. At the awakening of the kundalini, her pulsations can often be seen with the Bhagwatgita the subject of kundalini has been very naked eye at the sacrum. Lying at the base of the spine, briefly referred to. The Upanishads have only treated parts Kundalini rises through the middle channel (Sushumna). of it.

In the 13 sub-chapter of Gyaneshwari it is mentioned that the palms of the hands should be kept upwards, in order to feel the Kundalini-energy. This coolness is also described in the Koran- sura 36, 65: "one day we will seal their mouths, but their hands will speak."The hands "speak" in such a way that each finger, root of the hand and Palm correspond with a chakra and the various sensations of the part of the hand Kabir Says...

There Is No Knowledge or Meditation In the gospel of John, 4, Jesus describes the process of awakening to a Samaritan woman next to a well "if you knew the gift of god, and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him, and he would have given you water of life. The woman said to him, sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: where can you get that water of Jesus answered, everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again: but whoever drinks the water that I give him vill never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up into eterna! life." No Repetition of Mantra or Austerities, Neither Speech Coming From Vedas or Books.

Five Elemental Constituents and the Trinity Are Both Not There Witnessing Un-struck Shabad Sound is Also Not There. As described in the poetry of Shankaracharya, the ascending kundalini passes through the Nabhi, Swadisthana, Anahata-, Vishudhi-, and Agnya chakra. As soon as the Agnya chakra at the forehead gets pierced through thoughtlessness, is achieved. Only at that very moment one can talk about an experience which allows a deeper understanding of the "Gyaneshwari" for instance. Nirvichar Samadhi is spontaneous, like every movement of the kundalini. Samadhi cannot be achieved through human willpower that is why the concept, that through efforts of concentration real spiritual progress could be achieved, is wrong. After the Sushumna, which is the central channel, the subtle channels on the left and the right are enlightened.

Whoever Sees My Indicative Sign Will Accomplish the Goal of Liberation. The Garden Of Flowers Do not go to the garden of flowers the future. Do not go to the garden of flowers! The whole process physically relates with the parasympathetic system and therefore cannot be controlled consciously. Awakening of Kundalini gives a kind of profound peace and joy. Do not go to the garden of flowers! O Friend ! go not there; In your body is the garden of flowers. Take your seat on the thousand petals of the lotus, and there gaze on the Infinite Beauty. 14 Shri Mahalakshmi Goes Shopping Shri Mataji and Sir CP go shopping in London Even more importantly, as in much of Her publicactivity, Shri Mataji even now seemed destined to seek out the crowds of people, where the maximum possible number can receive the massive outpouring of Her Chaitanya, in the form of On Saturday, the 14th of October, 2006 the Divine Motherly Love, that she emitted during the whole shopping blessed us with trip. At one store, several sales assistants became enamoured by her Divine presence and asked who She was. They were told to hold out their hands toward Her and ask this question to Her directly, in their hearts. Shri Mataji looked at them, their faces glowing and their hearts melting under the infiuence of Her charisma and simply said with a what is now a rare opportunity. Shri Mataji and Sir CP decided to go shopping, to buy shoes and wave of Her hand "they have it" The Divine responded other accessories. Shri Mataji led us on a magical journey through the shoe shops of the West End of London, In each immediately and they felt the cool breeze on their hands and one Shri Mataji pointed to many different types of shoes and handbags, touching many to assess the quality of the people seemed drawn to Her without understanding why, leather and craftsmanship. Yogis brought different examples of merchandise from all corners of each shop for Her to see and touch. She looked at each item carefully, felt the leather, enquired about the price and discussed with Sir CP the relative merits of each. Sir CP was keen to buy his beloved Wife a gift, but for quite some time She was unable to find anything that suited Her. Throughoul the shopping trip, as you can see in the photos, Shri Mataji made endless jokes and humorous comments about the various styles of merchandise and their prices. above their head. Like this, throughout the shopping trip, and yet their faces showed that within them s ome heartstring had begun to resonate and their mind had beco me inexplicably silent. Such was their destiny that the Divine had to find a way for them to come face to face with the Cosmic Mother, and so they were drawn to the shops and streets that She chose to move on during this joyful day. And so the shopping party progressed through large numbers of stock, only to decide that another shop should be tried and so on until we arrived at the inevitable- Harrods department store. It seemed clear to many of us that She Finally, Shri Mataji found some shoes and a handbag that was doing more than just shopping since by vibrating the She liked. Sir CP succeeded in convincing Her that the price many items that She touched there would be many recipients of Her blessings. most of them unsuspecting shoppers who might purchase was agreeable and so he bought a gift for his wife. Jai Shri Mataji See My face In the dining roaom of Brompton Square She used to have all these different tea sets and teapots and cups and saucers and things around the picture rail. And some of them, remember, we bought in Hong Kong when She was there and She just bought them from the local Chinese emporium for not very much money at all, but when they were up in the Adi Shakti's dining room they looked absolutely stunning We did a lot of shopping in this Chinese emporium in Hong Kong and She would see lots of statues of Quan Yin there an item that had been touched by the Divine incarnate. Little would they know that destiny had chosen them to be a recipient of Mother's love, hidden as paramchaitanya in their new box of shoes or handbag. 15 and say, "See My face, See My face there" and all these Quan Yin statues in this china shop. This was '81. I asked Mother if She could know everything. She replied, "I can know all thoughts and things, past, present and future, simultaneously. But I can't be bothered." Then, with great naivety, I asked Mother how much was Her ability to cure someone and how much it was their faith in Her. Mother very sweetly and patiently replied, "One hundred percent your faith." ...And walking down the street with Her in Hong Kong was incredible because Hong Kong is so crowded, so it is so that you can't walk abreast. And I was walking behind Her and watching all the people's faces as they were looking at Her and seeing the amazed lok on their faces and virtually Linda Williams seeing their kundalinis come up as they focused on Her face of this amazing Indian woman walking like an elephant through this crowd of Chinese, down on the crowded streets of Hong Kong... wwAnd that was the time She said, "Oh, I need some money, some Hong Kong money." And I leant it to Her. She said, "Now you must remember to tell Me to pay you back when we get to London because," She said, "I can't owe people money in this lifetime, otherwise l'll have to come back and pay you back in another lifetime." And I said, "That's all right with me then, Mother."And She laughed. And then She said, "But do you know "and She laughed then, but She said, "But do you realize how difficult it is for Me to incarnate?" "So the power of Kundalini is to purify, she purifies us like fire. She doesn't purify us like water, surprisingly: she doesn't purify us like water. Now, water, what does the water do? Water never burns off anything, but it dissolves certain things. It can take in something within Kay McHugh Agood thing for Her to buy Mother was at a weekend seminar in Dorset. We had a lovely weekendand various things happened, but there was one which was connected with shopping. Apparently Mother had gone to the local town. There was a clock in an antique shop. which Mother stopped and seemed interested in. She went in and bought it and the shop owner said it had been in the window for a very long time. When She had bought it, She explained to the people with Her that She could work on every person who had looked at the clock as they passed up the street and that was why it was a good thing for Her to buy. itself, see. It can contain some of the dirt within itself. Supposing you put a color in the water - it assumes the color. But Kundalini does not assume the color. She burns out. Do you follow my point? So, if you have anything wrong within you, she'll burn it off, but she'll not absorb - she's pure. She cannot absorb those things into her that will pollute her. She cannot be polluted." H.H.

It all came about in food or sheiter in the desert place. The disciples grew this manner - impatient with them and came to ask Jesus to send them away. "They have brought no food," said the disciples, "and The disciples whom Jesus sent to preach in the towns and we can not supply food for them in this wildermess; therefore cities of Galilee had returned joyfully, telling their Master send them away that they may buy food in the towns and about their success in healing the sick and in casting out the villages as they journey home." But Jesus answered, "We evil spirits justas they had seen him do. And now the famne of must feed them before sending them away." Then, turning to Philip he asked, "Where shall we find bread, that all these people may Jesus was increasing every day, and many more people from distant parts of the country were flocking to hear him. So urgent were the people who eat?" Philip looked at the great multitude and shook his head. "If we should buy two hundred pennyworth of bread," came to hear Jesus and to have their loved ones healed, that they pressed constantly upon him, and allowed no time for him to rest or even eat. Then he answered, "there would not be enough for each one to have a small piece." While Jesus and the disciples were discussing what to do, the boy who had not forgotten to carry his Jesus called his twelve disciples aside from the multitude and said, "Come with me to a quiet place, for we must resta while." lunch came near and heard their conversation.

But they did not find much time to rest even in this lonely spot, for soon they saw a great throng of people coming toward them. The multitude had followed are there in the basket?" asked Jesus. Andrew said, "Only from the other side of the Sea. Perhaps the disciples were five and two small fishes. But what will that be among so disappointed because the people had found them again, but many people?" Jesus replied, "Bring them to me." Jesus looked pityingly upon the great throng, and said of them, "They are like sheep that had no shepherd. They Then he told his disciples to bid the people sit down in wander about here and there hunting for their own pasture- groups, in some fifty and in others a hundred, and wait for grounds."

When they had started they did not know disciples and sent them to pass the food among the hungry they would have to go so very far to find Jesus, and many of people. Then the disciples returned and again he filled their them had brought nothing to eat.

Although he was a King, yet he had not come to earth to rule an earthly over the water," said Peter. He was excited, eyes bright, cheeks flushed. "Tell me to come." Jesus beckoned him.

She mentioned that Lord Jesus, the great incamation of Lord Ganesha, was born under the sign of Scorpio, which is the sign of death and resurrection. He was actually born at Diwali, which falls at the time of year which is Scorpio in the astrological calendar. The chakra of Lord Jesus is the Agnya, of course, and this is the chakra associated with the light element. So it is only right that Diwali is the festival of lights. Also, for the Christians Lord Jesus came as a light to lighten the darkness, so again there is that connection to light.

In between, Kundalini Awakening only. Before the Last Judgment there is a time given for resurrection. One may ask what is Jesus Christ, and His resurrection? Resurrection means rising to life after death, destroying incarnation, of which was shown by Jesus Christ (when He rose to life on Mahavishnu - called as Kalki, the third day after His crucifixion). Resurrection of Christ there is a time given to human beings to rectify themselves, was a symbolical happening of self-realisation, because in for them to enter into our realization we rise from our three dimensional existence the of Mind/Body/Emotions (which is dead matter, remains only Kingdom of God, which in the with the human life) to the state of Spirit (which is eternally Bible is called as Last Judgment. That you'll be judged, all of you... will be judged living and never dies). People who have their Sahastrara open and are in the on this earth. The population of the world is the maximum, they say, because all those - practically all those who had Kingdom of God, will be the only one to pass this Judament: aspirations to enter into the Kingdom of God are born in the that is why Sahaja Yoga has been described as the Last Judgment by Shri Mataji, Shri Kalki (the tenth and fast modern times and are going to be born very soon, This is the Incarnation of Shri Vishnu ) will be the one who will do this most important time, because Sahaja Yoga is the Last Judgment." Judgment. Shri Mataji is the Holy Spirit, She is Shri Kalki, There are eleven Rudras in Him, means there are She is the comforter, the redeemer and the saviour.

At least there are eleven sub-chakras of the Kalaki (the evil doers), they are within you! You may be a good person, but you may be destroyed because of having them chakra.

This issue, lets focus on mother's advice on how to establish the eternal child within us. BROTHER SISTER RELATIONSHIP superego is controlled, your The Left Vishuddhi family is contralled, everybody In our Sahaja Yoga the significance of left wrist is that it is the is under control, under the left Vishuddhl. Left Vishuddhi, which is here. And this is the left Vishuddhi expressed here, you know that very well guidance of this pure power of Now, left Vishuddhi is the place where our relationship of Vishnumaya which exists within all of us. brothers and sisters exist. When they are disturbed within Now, in a group we are sitting uS we start getting the problem of the left Vishuddhi. In these here, like that, in any group a modern times the talk of pure relationship seems to be quite brother and a sister they are, boring for many people, but it's very practical and logical. I they know that they exist as would say it is the most scientific thing to do. For example, every brother has a special feeling for a sister, and her brothers and sisters, bur they triMet the Etam BtaA chastity is very dear to every brother, if he is a normal don't cling onto one person, person, if he's abnormal then forget it. But normally a they don't talk to one person, they don't get friendly with that brother is very particular about the chastity of the sister, and sister. But a brother and a sister are never friends. But normally you don't talk to your brother much nor the brother he doesn't like anybody to- in any way-even pass a remark talks to you so much, you don't get friendly. But at the time of against the chastity of his sister... but the normal thing is to difficulties, at the time of maryadas, at the time of consulting feel that way, purely, about the sister. And the sister about about some thing that is dear to the family, the sister comes. the brother. Brothers and sisters' relations are extremely The brother is protected by sister. And the sister's chastity is pure and are also accepted in this country very well.. looked after by the brother. A brother who doesn't feel hurt if Left Vishuddhi comes out of guilt. But in the subconscious his sister chastity is in danger or she plays about with her the greatest guilt in a human being is when he crosses the chastity, he is not a brother. He is not a brother anymore. limits of sisterhood. This is the greatest guilt in his mind He's responsible to see that his sister keeps her chastity. which he is not aware. Only her chastity can protect him it's a mutual working. This Shri Vishnumaya & Brother-Sister relationships feeling, if it does rot develop that, "She is my sister and that! Vishnumaya's power is to protect your chastity. Now the have to look after her chastity, for that I have to behave sister's job is not to take sides, but to show that if you cross myself well, so that she doesn't find faults with me." It's such SO you limits of your brotherliness then there will be a a cleansing process this relationship has, as much as the lightening, because the sister in the family has to see that electricity has the cleansing process for you. the brothers don't fight, they are all looked after well, that So how the brother's love can compel even Adi Shakti to do they are not challenged by others, that she gives them the maryadas how far to go. How far to go. So the limiting forces things that She would not normally do. In the same way, when Draupadi was challenged, Shri Krishna was not in of Vishnumaya are such, that your ego is controlled, your Hastinapur where it happened. He was thousand, at least 2006_Yuvadrishti_Mx_(Scan)_III.pdf-page-6.txt more than thousand miles away from that place. He said had married an Indian lady and the great Alexander was in jail. That was the day of Vishnumaya. So she sent this lady that, "Shankha chakra gada padma, garuda lai sidhare." He came on His condor with all His weapons shankha, chakra, was very clever, his wife she sent a rakhi in a small, little gada, padma. All these He brought to save the chastity of thali covered nicely to the King Puru. And, as the rituals are, that day this was presented to him. So he had to accept. If it His Sister. is sent, you have to accept. A sister sends it with Now this sisterly relationship existed in other incarnations deliberations but you have to accept. And he accepted it, also. Like Mohammed Sahib had a sisterly relationship with and it was tied. Then Puru said, "Who is my sister?" They actually what we have to say that His Sister as such was Ali's said, "Your sister is the wife of Alexander." Said, "Oh God, wife, but She was born to him as a daughter. So They can be that meansI have arrested my own brother-in-law!" born as a Daughter or as the Sister. She was born as Immediately becomes a brother-in-law, immediately. No Nanaka's Sister Nanaki. In the same way, Sahaja Yogis and marriage took place, nothing. He's a brother-in-law. He rushed to the jail, fell flat before the great emperor. Sahaja Yoginis are brothers and sisters. You have to understand that you are brothers and sisters, and the Alexander couldn't understand, "What's happening to Puru? relationship between us has to be purer and purer and Why did he do all this?" Puru said, "Sir, I am sorry", in his own language, "I'm sorry I didn't know you were my brother- purer. There should be no choice going on between brothers and sisters- but if somebody has a feeling for someone from in-law. I'm sorry whatever I've done. Will you forgive me?" the very beginning, not like a sister, then a relationship can and all that. And he brought him, asked him to sit on his be established or somebody sees someone for the first time, throne. Alexander couldn't understand, "What's this going not as a Sahaja Yogini but is shown as a bride or something, on?" "Please." Made him sit there, garlanded him, did his then it's a different point. But if the person has been a Sahaja aarti, gave him ornaments, gave him big garlands of Yogi and a Sahaja Yogini, let this feeling grow within you of diamonds and rubies and things, and touched his feet, complete purity. It will clear out many of our problems and you will be amazed, our attention will settle down really washed his feet and then, with great honor, sent him home. He couldn't understand. "Has he gone mad or he's beautifully within us. possessed by someone?" He must have thought, "Some For a Sahaja Yogi it is very important to look after our Greek has possessed this fellow", the way he was chastity. As I told you yesterday, it is not necessary to find a surrendering. When he went home his wife was smiling. He girl for yourself, or a boy for yourself. It is also against the said, "Why are you smiling?" She said, "I knew the trick will rules of chastity, I am not saying that you should allow your work with Indian mind." "What was the trick?" She showed parents to decide, but let him one string. "This was the trick." He couldn't understand, the Sahaja Yoga decide, started looking at it. "What is this?" She said, "This is the because you are Sahaja rakhi. This is the thing I sent him. This has the symbol of a Yogis. You are born after sister, that's how you're released." Alexander sat back.
