 सु Yuvadrishti June 2008 ० श्री ज्ञानेश्वर महाराष्ट्र के महानतम् संत कवि श्री ज्ञानेश्वर का जन्म आलन्दी में सन 1275 में हुआ । उनके पिता विठ्ठलपन्त तथा माता रुक्मणी बाई थी। उनका परिवार आपेगाँव में रहता था। इस क परिवार के सभी सदस्य पुण्य आत्मा थे तथा परमात्मा की भक्ति के लिए जाने जाते थे त्र्यंबकपन्त, श्री ज्ञानेश्वर के पड़दादा, ने नाथपन्थी गोरखनाथ से तथा उनके दादा गोविन्दपन्त ने गाहिनीनाथ से आत्मसाक्षात्कार प्राप्त किया। श्री रा आरर ि ज्ञानेश्वर के नाना सिद्धोपन्त कुल्कर्णी आलन्दी के निवासी थे। श्री ज्ञानेश्वरजी के पिता विठ्ठलपन्त को, जो कि बाल्यावस्था से ही धार्मिक प्रवृत्ति के थे, सन्यासियों की संगत अच्छी लगती थी तथा उन्हें तीर्थयात्राओं का बड़ा चाव था। भ्रमण के दौरान वे आलन्दी पहुँचे। वहाँ सिद्धोपन्त कुलकर्णी ने जब इस होनहार के आदेश पर सामान्य गृहस्थ जीवन फिर से अपना लिया तब युवक को देखा तो अत्यन्त प्रभावित होकर उन्होंने विठ्ठलपन्त उनके यहाँ चार बच्चों ने जन्म लिया - निवृत्ति, ज्ञानेश्वर, सोपान तथा मुक्ताबाई। को अपना दामाद बना लिया। विठ्ठलपन्त तथा रुक्मणी बाई ने अपना प्रारम्भिक वैवाहिक जीवन पवित्र स्थलों की यात्राओ में एक सन्यासी के बच्चे होने के कारण समाज के तथाकथित बिताया। विठ्ठलपन्त को सांसारिक जीवन में कोई सुख अनुभव नहीं विद्वानों व ब्राह्मण पंडितों द्वारा इन बालकों को प्रभु भक्ति के हुआ। उनकी ब्रह्मज्ञान प्राप्त करने की तीव्र इच्छा हुई और भजन कीर्तन में शामिल होना उन्हें और अधिक भाने लगा। अयोग्य ठहराया गया, जाति से बहिष्कृत किया गया तथा उन्हें र घोर रुप से प्रताड़ित किया गया। परन्तु इन बालकों के हृदय जो उन्हें सांसारिक सुखों तथा मामलों से निर्लिप्त रहने में महानू परमात्मा की भक्ति से परिपूर्ण थे, घोर विरोध के बावजूद आत्मिक ज्ञान पाने के लिए अटल थे। उन्होनें अपनी प्रभु भक्ति आनन्द मिलता था। परिणामस्वरूप जब विठ्ठलपन्त काशी की तीर्थ यात्रा पर गए तो श्रीपदस्वामी से ज्ञान प्राप्त करके वे ज्ञानेश्वर तथा उनके को जारी रखा। धर्म शास्त्रों के भाईयों के जनेऊ संस्कार करने का प्रयास किया गया परन्तु अनुसार सन्यासी बन गए। परन्तु कुछ समय बाद जब श्रीपादस्वामी को यह ज्ञात हुआ कि उन्होनें आत्मिक ज्ञान अपनी पत्नी रुक्मणी बाई की स्वीकृति के बिना प्राप्त किया है तब विठ्ठलपन्त की इनका घोर विरोध करते हुए ब्राह्मण वर्ग ने उनके जनेऊ संस्कार को स्वीकार करने से इन्कार कर दिया क्योंकि वे एक उन्होनें वापिस जाकर फिर से अपना गृहस्थजीवन यापने करने ऐसे व्यक्ति की सन्तान थे जो सन्यास धारण करने के उपरान्त का आदेश दिया। यद्यपि एक बार सन्यासी बनने के बाद पुनः गुहस्थ बने थे जिसे घोर पाप माना जाता था। गृहस्थ जीवन मे लौटना उस समय सिद्धान्तों के विरुद्ध था विट्ठलपन्त अपने बच्चों के साथ इस कठोर व्यवहार को सहन न कर पाए तथा इस तथाकथित पाप के प्रायश्चित हेतु उन्होनें परन्तु उसकी परवाह ना करते हुए विटूठलपन्त ने अपने गुरु

 Yuvadrishti June 2008 अपनी पत्नि रुक्मणी बाई के साथ इलाहबाद जाकर अधिकार पा जाता है और अत्यन्त आन्दित हो उठता है (यह जलसमाधि ले ली । प्रायश्चित का ये उपाय उस समय के बात श्रीमाताजी ने भी दोहराई है।) इस ग्रन्थ के उपरान्त सन्त तथाकथित विद्वानों ने उन्हें बताया था । अब निवृत्ति नाथ जो ज्ञानेश्वर ने एक और महान ग्रन्थ रचा जो सुप्रसिद्ध अपने बहन-भाईयों में ज्येष्ठ थे, वे ही उनके माता, पिता तथा "अमृतानुभव" के नाम से जाना जाता है। गुरु बन गए। वे पैठण में ब्राह्मण पंडितों के पास आवश्यक रस्म की स्वीकृति हेतु गए। आखिरकार ब्राह्मण ने इन बच्चों के इसके बाद ज्ञानेश्वर जी पन्ढरपुर के प्रसिद्ध सन्त नामदेव तथा पवित्र हृदयों के गहन आत्मिक अध्ययन तथा ज्ञान से प्रभावित अन्य कई सन्तों के साथ उत्तर भारत की तीर्थयात्रा पर गए। कहा जाता है कि इस दौरान उन्होंने अपने असंख्य अभंगों (भक्ति गीतों) की रचना की । उनके ये अभंग ब्रह्माण्डीय श्री ज्ञानेश्वर तब अपने अन्य भाईयों के साथ नेवासे नामक भाईचारे, आजीवन पूर्ण समर्पित प्रभु चरणों की भक्ति, गहन स्थान पर गए जहाँ उन्होनें अपने बड़े भाई गुरु निवृत्तिनाथ की आत्मिक ज्ञान तथा गरीबों एवं त्रस्तों के प्रति हार्दिक प्रेम की आज्ञा तथा कृपा से ज्ञानेश्वरी नामक पावन ग्रन्थ की मराठी ऐसी अभिव्यक्ति है जो मानव की आत्मा पर पड़े अज्ञान तथा होकर उन्हे शुद्धिकरण का प्रमाण पत्र दे ही दिया। भाषा में रचना की, जो पावन भगवतु गीता पर टीका है। यह बात 1290 की है जब वे केवल सोलह वर्ष के थे। पापों के प्रभावों की सारी परतों को तेजी से हटाने में समर्थ है। भगवत् ये अभंग प्राणी के समस्त अज्ञान के अन्वकार को मिटाकर गीता पर उनके इस टीका को सर्वोत्तम माना जाता है। उनकी उसको नव प्रकाश दिलाने, प्रभु की अनन्य भक्ति, पूर्ण सर्मपण, आत्मज्ञान की गहनता, भाषा तथा शैली की सुन्दरताऐँ जिससे अबोधिता, पवित्रता, विवेक, सद्बुद्धि, निर्मल विद्या, निरीच्छ उन्होंने ज्ञानेश्वरी नामक ग्रन्थ को सजाया है, वह हम ज्ञानेश्वरी भाव, निर्लिप्तता, चित्त शैथिल्य, अखण्ड शान्ति पढ़ कर ही जान सकते हैं। इस ग्रन्थ को मराठी भाषा के दूसरे निर्विकल्पावस्था, मुमुक्षता आदि की स्थिती में उतारने में सक्षम ग्रन्थों के सामने अतुलनीय माना जा चुका है। मात्र टीका न है। इनके पठन से ज्ञात होता है कि सन्त ज्ञानेश्वर अपने हृदय होकर ज्ञानेश्वरी परमचैतन्य के अनुभव की गहनता, महानता में कितनी श्रद्धा, समर्पण भाक्ति तथा मानव जाति के प्रति तथा ऊँचाई का एक ज्वलंत उदाहरण है जो उन्होंने ज्ञानेश्वरी कितना प्रेम रखते हैं। के छठे अध्याय में व्यक्त किया है। उन्होंने कहा है की मनुष्य इस संसार को निरंतर प्रभु भक्ति के द्वारा परमानन्द प्राप्त करने के उपाय तथा योग की महानता बताकर ईश्वर को पूर्ण की कुण्डलिनी शक्ति सर्पिणी की भाँति साढ़े तीन कर उसके मूलाधार में सुप्त अवस्था में होती है। प्राणी की शुद्ध कुण्डल लगा समर्पित होकर उसकी सत्ता को पहचानने तथा स्वीकार करने के लिए प्रेरित करके उनको यह आभास हुआ कि मानव को इच्छा, सद्गुरु की कृपा तथा पूर्व जन्मों में के फलस्वरूप जागृत होती है और मूलाधार से उठकर सभी चक्रों सुकृत्यो सन्मार्ग दर्शाने का उनके जीवन का उद्देश्य पूरा हो गया है। को पोषण प्रदान करती हुई, उनको निरंजित तथा पावन करती हुई सहस्त्रार के पार हो जाती है। मानव के चक्रों में उसके तब 1296 में कार्तिक मास की तेरंहवीं तारीख को आलन्दी में अखण्ड समाधि ग्रहण की। श्री ज्ञानेश्वर जी जो मात्र 22 वर्ष द्वारा अज्ञान वश किए पापों या दुष्कर्मों के फलस्वरुप रुग्णता तक ही जीवित रहे। उन्होंने अपने लिए कुछ नहीं किया अपितु या विष इकट्ठा हो जाता है। जागृत होकर कुण्डलिनी उन सारी मानव जाति के लिए आजीवन समाधान एवं सहज जीवन सबको पी जाती है तथा अपने इस आत्मसाक्षात्कार पाने की इच्छा करनेवाले बालक पर कृपा करके विष के बदले में अमृत उगलती है। इसके बाद प्राणी जीवित अवस्था में ही मुक्ति का उतरने के रास्ते ही परमात्मा से माँगते रहे। 23 ৫ ॐ

 Yuvadrishti June 2008 NIRMAL VANI : LAJJA या देवी सर्वभूतेषु लज्जाखूपेण संस्थिता। नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः ॥ Meaning of Lajja Lajja, I don't know how to describe, it's not shyness. It is a kind of a shame about your body. Lajja rupena samasthita means you have to have shame of your body. That's specially for women As a child you will see, women are very shy. See, little girls, they are very shy. That shyness gradually disappears, but in the beginning they are even shy of Me. They come before Me, they'll put down their head. They'll not even say, Namaste. Very sweet. And they don't like people wearing funny dresses... [Ref #1] Panchami is recognized because on this day we wear a dress, whatever we wear today is so that our body is properly covered. The sense of shame and chastity that our body has is because of Him (Shri Ganesha). Lajja Rupena Samasthita. So if you have any sense of chastity and shame, it is because of Him. That will benefit you immensely. [Ref #3] Wave of Adharma So, I've met one lady who traveled with Me. She was wearing a burkha... and by the time we landed in London, she took out the burkha and the dress was much above the knees. (Shri Mataji laughing) I said, "What kind of...woman is she? No Lajja, no shame, nothing, shamelessness!.. In these modern times - exposure of body is regarded as a great achievement of women. They are trying to become aboriginals, you see. That time they (aboriginals) never had these ideas and they were not so confused, you see. So, even if their (aboriginal) women were scantily dressed, it didn't mean that it was some sort of a sex or some sort of an attraction for men. Or men behaving in funny manners to show that they have a special attraction for women. I mean, why should you? It is absolutely absurd that men should be attracted to women and women should be attracted to men - and on the road, on the street, you go, you see, just that going on! This adharma is the worst I think, for it's a curse. Because after coming to Sahaja Yoga also people start doing this nonsense, you know. They should all go to lunatic asylum, I think, they are no good for Sahaja Yoga. But dharma gets established as soon as you have the light of the spirit. [Ref #5] Respecting the body But the way nowadays we are going about with the show of our body, and sometimes I feel that all these designers will die or will get bankrupt, because people wear such little clothes these days. There is no space for any artist to show his work or to show his art how he can dress you up. In Japan I asked them how- this is long time back... Isaid, "Howis it you wear these dresses, these kimonos,

 Yuvadrishti June 2008 done so well, very expensive and it takes time to wear that?" So they said, "That's easy, if God has made a beautiful body then it is His art and we have to make our art decorate it. So what we do is to make our art to decorate it. Ireally liked it, because in India same thing, if there is a lady she has to wear a sari, which is being made very artfully, very beautifully, just to decorate her body, just to respect the body. But this seems to have gone with the influence of west.... ...You are notsupposed to sell your body. That's not what Goddess has done to you. But you should dress up well, different, different occasions are there, for those occasions you have to wear the way it is. The other dayI gavea very nice sari which we call as paithani to one lady as a present. And we had a function for a book was inaugurated, and this lady came there. So I said, "Why didn't you wear a paithani?" She said, "What, there is no wedding on. How can Iwear for this function paithani? There has to be a wedding." Very sweet "in the wedding I can wear." It is all, see occasions, places which are to be celebrated. Like in India, to when women go to the temple or to worship the idols or anything then they will wear all that is necessary face the Goddess, after all. Imagine people coming for this program here wearing, I don't know what they call it, but like jute clothes like hippies, what would happen to Me? I would disappear in thin air, I can tell this much. So, one has to have respect for the body. That is what She has said first - that lajja rupena you samstithan. Now you might say that there are people who are taking their bath in the river and this and that, and give justification. But you are saints, you are realized souls, you don't have to see those people who are not yet realized and who are misbehaving. You must do what a saint should do.[Ref #1] So, you should beshy, you should be humble and respect your body-it's very important. [Ref #5] Innocence of a Child As the children don't care for what you suggest to them-to be nasty, to be horrid-in the same way, if you are innocent, you will not accept. You may listen to anything. Let them (non-realized people) they want to, doesn't matter. You'll never do that because you cannot, because you are innocent and the innocent will guard you, it will give you proper guidance-whatis to be done, what is not to be done. tell you anything Now try to introspect and see for yourself, are you innocent or not? People think that somebody is trying to overpower you, is trying to harm you, is trying to put you down. Nobody can put down innocence. Innocence is a quality that survives all kinds of nonsense. And not only that, but age, your health, your mind, your thinking, and your emotions are extremely innocent and you enjoy yourself. Nowadays there is a big wave of shamelessness sometimes. The people, I have seen, they have no 'lajja'. I

 Yuvadrishti June 2008 don't know, some men wvant to attract women and some women want to attract men. Children never do like that. They don't know what is this, to attract men, or to attract women, or attract anyone. They will try to please the dog, they'll try to please a horse, but they never, I have seen, going all out to attract someone. The reason is this- that their self-esteem is complete. They know about themselves fully. So, why should they do all this nonsense- of running after women, running after men and creating problems for themselves? Their self-esteem is complete. Innocence is like that. It gives you a complete self-esteem. You don't bow to anyone, nor do you make anybody else to bow. This is the beauty of innocence, which works out so well within you. That's why always say that worship Shri Ganesha... ...Worshipping Shri Ganesha improves your 'Mooladhara', improves your sense of shame, improves of... your own dignity, self-esteem. You dress up in a way that shows that you respect your body. You talk in such a way that that shows that you respect your tongue, your language; you cannot have a foul mouth if you are innocent person. You cannot have a mind that cari abuse or can say horrible words...There is no need to use these dirty words to express yourself. With that your tongue is spoilt. So innocence is gone from your tongue. If you have lost innocence from your tongue, whatever you say will never come true... will never come true. But if you are innocent and your tongue is innocent, and respects... So the basic as you can see- respect your innocence in every manner. [Ref # 2] I remember My granddaughter once, she saw onme magazine in which there was a lady in a swimming dress. She said, "What are you doing? Better wear your dress, otherwise my Grandma will come and hit you hard." To that lady that was in and then she opened and saw a man's dress with just a small, little knickers. I don't know why they do it. And she said, "This one seems to be an absolutely shameless fellow. He is going to have bad time now." And she closed it. And then she told the maid servant, "Burn this, burn this. I don't want to see." Such a little girl she knew that it was wrong. [Ref#1] Primordial taboos/dharmas Now what does She (Kundalini) do for us, for us human beings? She's the primordial Power. What she does is to build in us a primordial we can call "restrictions" or "primordial taboos" or "primordial dharmas." We have in the same way primordial taboos built within us which are dharma. Ahuman being has to be like that. If he tries to be something else, something goes wrong with his life. It's like say if you have a glass, you drop it on the ground, it will break that is the dharma. In the same way when human beings start deviating from the line of dharma, they get into trouble. But it's only human beings who can do that. They can only cross over these taboos, these primordial taboos, and can become horrible... ..Now these primordial taboos are in you built in, they are there. These are existing maybe in a potential state; maybe you have curbed them down, maybe you have turned them out, but they are there, all the time they are there. And that's what we say that you are leaving the maryadas, or else we say that you are insulting Shri Ganesh... But I must say for the aboriginal people, or people who...were made aware of their primordial taboos somehow, as the animals know what is bad for them; and that knowledge was there with aboriginals. In India we have aboriginals... we call them Gond, Korku, Bhil. We had a lady who was a maid with us, Genabai was her name. She was an excellent cook, but she had her maryadas. All the time, like if My father came she would immediately cover her head and go in the other room, to respect him. Nobody told her to do that.

 Yuvadrishti June 2008 .But when they met with this so-called advanced people so many of them started living like them. They said, "You have no freedom, you are just bound by something, by some..." But actually they were bound by the sacredness, by the divine understanding. And then they started changing. She was all right, her husband was all right, but her son started drinking this is the beginning of the end then gambling, and all other sorts of things he started. And her grandson started going to prostitutes. And the idea was only that "We are free now. What's wrong?"... They gave them skirts and blouses, I don't know what all they did. But Genabai did not. She said, "What is this? Why should Iwear a dress like this where the whole body is exposed? No, I'll wear a sari;Ican never do it. Why shouldI wear this kind of a useless dress?" [Ref # 4] So, Sahaj Dharma is that you have shame, you have sense of shame. What you talk to others, what you say to others, how misused Her and made Her into a sort of a Romeo - Juliet business. It was not that. She was a very pure behave towards them...This sweetness comes from Radhaji. Now, of course they have you woman and She was Mahalakshmi. So, to be a Mahalaksmi, after coming to Sahaja Yoga, you should know that you should dress up in a way that's perfectly all right. Once I remember, I was in a big party and one gentleman came and he sat down, "Aaaaaah!" I said, "What happened?" "What a relief, Mother, Mrs. Srivastava, to see you. See these women, I'm fed up. Butyou came, I felt such a relief."Isaid, "What is so relieving?" "You are so serene." So, women are serene in Sahaj Dharma. They are not stupid, frivolous, laughing at anything. That's not the way for a woman. Anything happens, they must laugh. I mean, there is something laughable, all right, but some things are not even laughable, they'll laugh. That's not the way. That can be ridiculous also, can ridicule others. But, laugh of appreciation, laugh of enjoyment, is so pure and creates such beautiful atmosphere. I think the whole ecological problem is in our brains. It is not outside. It is inside us, which is reflected outside. [Ref #5] References: 2000-0916:Shri Ganesha Puja, Cabella 1997-1005:Navaratri Puja, Cabella 2. 1. 1997-0907:Shri Ganesha Puja, The Innate Dharma, Cabella 2008-0210Shri Ganesh Birthday 4. 3. 1997-0823: Shri Krishna Puja: Primordial Taboos and Sahaja Dharma, Cabella 5. For example our Vishuddhi Chakra, you have sixteen thousand powers, and all these sixteen powers are awakened in you today as you are. Sixteen thousand powers are awakened in you as you are today, but you speak you don't understand that when you are speaking, you are a Sahaja Yogi. With all these powers you are speaking. When you eat, you don't understand that this tongue belongs to a Sahaja Yogi; you should not hanker after anything. Like if somebody likes tea, he'll go on taking fifteen cups. That's no good. If he's fond of one sort of a food, he won't take another food. Thinking too much about food all the time, asking for food and organizing food all the time, thatspoils Vishuddhi very badly. Then talking ill about anyone, complaining about anyone to Me will spoil your Vishuddhi. If there's some sense, if I ask, then it's all right; but all the time talking ill about each other will spoil your Vishuddhi. 1980-0127: Powers Bestowed upon Sahaja Yogis, Formal talk, Bordi, India when

 Yuvadrishti June 2008 SHOULD I WEAR JEANS/TROUSERS? (Self Introspection of a Yuva Yogini) My introspection started I always wondered why I shouldn't wear jeans/trousers in centers, Pujas and outside sahaja collectives? I could never get an answer. I wore trousers and jeans before coming to Sahaja yoga, and to first collective center I was wearing jeans, and when my after center I was interacting with fellow yogis I was thinking that what they must be thinking about me that I do not have sense of decency and respect to our culture that I am wearing jeans. But why this thought came to my mind, may be because I realized even before coming to Sahaja yoga trousers are not part of our culture. And thanks to Shri Mataji, that one day in 2003 all of my three jeans were washed and were drying outside in the courtyard and somebody picked them all! Now there are too many coincidences that all 3 trousers to get washed on same day and all three get picked up in daylight, when no cloth before and after was stolen, must be some work of a Gana So I intuitively realized that we should not wear jeans or trousers but for next five years why was itnot Ianswered. Sahaja Fashion The things would have been easier, if Shri Mataji would have said that do not wear jeans at all. But I never came across such a lecture. But then I read lots of advices by Shri Mataji in September'07 issue of Nirmal Vani. In which Mother told that to respect ourselves and to give us dignity we should wear clothes of our own culture, we should wear clothes with vibrations, we should not wear short tops, indecent tops, tight jeans etc. To this list I would like to add low-rise jeans. You are saints do you realize? Do you realize your self-esteem? You are saints now. What clothes you wear, you are not vagabonds. You are not tramps. You are not on the street. So you have to wear dignified dress. I have told everyone of you that wear something dignified, not undignified. It has to be majestic, because you are a saint now. So the dress you wear need not be absurd or something funny but should give you dignity. false but a real dignity. You see the vibrations of a dress. Wear your country's dress. You need not Not any wear somebody else's dress or something but the interest in the dress should be that it should give you dignity and a sense of respectability. It is to preserve your respect that you have to wear a dress. That is the Lutility of a dress.[Ref# 1] Now if I look back and see why Iused to prefer jeans and trousers over salwar-kurtas with duppattas, which are our culture dresses. Few reasons which Icould think of are as follows: Duppattas are difficultin handling. Salwar-kurtasneed very frequent washing. Salwar-kurtas needs ironingevery time they are worn. Jeans/trousers are very easy to wear and handle. Jeans don't need frequent ironing and washing. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

 Yuvadrishti June 2008 SoIstopped wearing salwar-kurtas and started wearing jeans, less work, easy to handle, lots of effort saving (or we may call it lethargy). And last but not least, all friends wear and if I don't wear I would be called conservative, I would be laughed at. Shri Mataji has said, "In Sahaja Yoga there's a Sahaja fashion" [Ref# 2] But then I ask myself, "If fashion and fear of being called 'behanji' is the reason of taking on to western dresses then should not we Sahaja yoginis be setting fashion trends now for the satya yuga and not follow the remaining trends of Kaliyuga. Why don't we start Sahaja fashion of salwar kurtas, with dupattas, oiled and combed hair rather than all these jeans, short tops and open hair without oil?" Subtle effects of Wearing Ieans/trousers After answering that Why I should not wear jeans/trousers from external aspects which are of very superficial nature I asked, "Are the above mentioned reasons are only reasons? There has to be something more to it. But whatit is?" Imyself was amazed at the soundness of the explanation! Jeans out rightly are not refused by Shri Mataji because western country culture is like that, but short tops are refused, but girls do wear short and tight tops, if not in Sahaja collective but outside it, but what are we loosing by wearing such indecent clothes, we can't bow to our Mother, we can't bend down in front of our brothers, but in front of unchaste friends we do! We attract negative attention of these unchaste 'friends'and spoil our chakras and catch on our Mooladhara and Left Vishuddhi! We can't stand and talk to our brothers without spoiling their attention by wearing such clothes. We are already loosing our chastity outside collective and now we are becoming responsible for adulteration in the of our brothers rather than helping them in establishing their Shri Ganesha principle. We are spoiling eyes their attention and eyes and their Shri Ganesha gets angry, and ours was already angry because we are wearing inauspicious clothes, which are short, tight, unwashed. The responsibility of a Sahaja Yogini sister towards her Sahaja yogi brother, as described by Shri Mataji, is- "Now this Vishnumaya is a female Power, as you know that. She didn't care for anything mundane. Can you think of Vishnumaya going after all these nonsensical things? And to protect Her brothers, and to give all the strength to those brothers, what did She do? What did She do? She came in Her purest form, as a Sister. You all have here so many Sahaja Yogis as your brothers. You must be having other people also as your brothers. This purity has to be brought into women. Unless and until this purity comes into them, they have no powers, they are powerless. So we come down to the main thing that is : where the women are chaste, there resides the powers of all the deities. So it's such a responsibility for us to be very chaste, and to be very pure, and to be sisters to our brothers so that their brothers are also protected from the temptations of the world; so that they, too, have their attention onto something higher and greater."[Ref# 3] and pure Trousers with Long tops are safe! I concluded.. So I concluded that jeans and trousers are okay to wear even in Sahaja collectives but with long and loose till knees, but it is all the more important to wear them with long tops outside Sahaja collective as well. tops But, aren't we forgetting dupattas to cover and protect our center hearts? I have to confess here that Imyself feel very clumsy in handling duppattas... Shri Mataji please give me tips in this regard Now after my above conclusion the next question is, "Can I imagine Shri Sita, Shri Radha, Mother Mary wearing these dresses? If we can then we should go ahead with those dresses, butif can't then why wear such inauspicious dresses. Shri Mataji has transformned us with all the qualities of the deities, then why not dress auspiciously which pleases and respects these deities inside us? Yes, it is very right, there are so many other

 Yuvadrishti June 2008 things which these deities have in them which I do not have, but let me start with such a gross aspect of dressing and then move towards subtler aspects. Epilogue "So in India it is not possible to introduce all these (jeans) dresses; in the school maybe but later on they all give up because they like Saris." [Ref# 4] When Shri Mataji said the above sentence She was putting so much of the confidence in us, the Indian yuvashakti who is out of the school, and are we supporting Her in the confidence She has put in this sentence? Last but not the least, if it requires so many of justifications and explanations for wearing jeans, then isn't it safer not to wear jeans, because it will cause no harm if we don't wear jeans, even if they are un-harmful. But if we wear and it is causing us some harm in subtle way, it would be damaging to our chakras without our knowing.

 Yuvadrishti June 2008 Shri Ganesha's Qualitative Manifestations The human being is said to be the replica of the Virata's body i.e. the body of the God almighty. Perhaps it is in the divine plan that the human being should manifest divine nature embodied within him and should ultimately be one with his creator. Hence there is a mechanism within him to attain the purpose of his creation. He is also therefore endowed with the ego, conditioning, intellect and attention. Each of these institutions has distinct functions. Shri Ganesha is worshipped first in the Pujas to all deities. Saints and artists have praised him at the beginning of their works. According to Shri Ganesha Atharvasheersha, Shri Ganesha manifested before the creation. As Shri Mataji has advised, since innocence had to be established before creation of the universe, Shri Ganesha was created first. Likewise in the human beings he is the firm foundation for spiritual evolution at the Mooladhara chakra. The qualities of innocence, wisdom, purity and dedication come from him. His presence purifies the mind, the ego and the intellect. It works as a catalyst to clear the chakras. As Shri Mataji has advised, he resides on all the chakras and in the heart he is spirit. Shri Ganesha's first manifestation in human consciousness comes in the form of his creativity. A child, soon after holding a pen makes some figures in its spontaneity. It is the expression of his innate creativity. Simnilarly, people who lived in the monolithic period through their untutored mind carved different figures on stones, which are still available at Carnac in France. They emit vibrations. Such expressions of creativity have their own beauty. When an artist or a writer is connected with divine, his works emit vibrations Creativity of polluted minds examples are galore are devoid of vibrations and beauty. A child's innocence impels him to close its eyes to the display of vulgarity, violence and other anti-Ganesha scenes. A realized person may ignore them or laugh at their stupidity but will feel concerred about their impact on the immature minds. A child grows and at the same time interacts with others. His senses are getting developed, new needs and attractions come into play and temptations around beckon his attention. Environments in the family and surroundings in addition to inborn virtues give shape to his personality. At this time his strong grounding of Shri Ganesha's qualities enables him to stick to virtues, accept what conforms to them and reject what is contrary. His wisdom and inner purity guide him to keep away from the misbehaving children and also to make friends with likeminded ones. In the adulthood without strong Shri Ganesha self-interest may be allowed to override ethical or moral propriety when faced with an opportunity of a material advantage. It takes Gandhji's righteousness to send some other boy to England for education financed by a rich man when Gandhiji's own son was keen to go. Continued on pg 15 11

It is however necessary that they are observed and but may taken proper care of, to avoid bloating of their egos or developing inferiority complexes and also to allow their discretion and discrimination to grow.

 র Yuvadrishti June 2008 अनुभव अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय सहज पब्लिक स्कूल (धर्मशाला) के बच्चों का वाघा सीमा पर भारत माता को नमन 26 नवम्बर 2006: विश्वभर से आए सहज योगी बच्चों का भारत-पाकिस्तान की वाघा सीमा पर आगमन एक अत्यन्त सुखद अनुभूति का अनुभव रहा। अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय सहज पब्लिक स्कूल, धर्मशाला के छोटे बच्चों ने एक साथ कतार में खडे होकर वन्दे मातरम् गाया और उसके बाद सष्ट्रीय गान प्रस्तुत किया। वाघा सीमा पर उपस्थित सभी जनसमूह एवं सीमा सुरक्षा बल के जवान धर्मशाला के बच्चों का राष्ट्रीय गान व राष्ट्रीय गीत उनके मधुर कण्ठ से सुनकर स्तब्धता के साथ गौरवमय क्षणों को देखकर गौरवान्वित महसूस कर रहे थे। यह अनुपम दृश्य अपने आप में विशेष एवं अनूठा था। यह पहले कभी देखने को नहीं मिला जब विश्वभर से आए सहजयोगी बच्चे एक साथ भारत माता के रूप में आदिशक्ति माँ का ही नमन कर रहे थे। बड़े बच्चों ने वाघा सीमा पर हमारी सीमाओं की शान्ति के लिए बन्धन दिए। ठीक उसी समय काली अँधेरी पाकिस्तान की ओर से आयी और वाघा सीमा पर पूरी तरह छा गयी। जोरों से वर्षा होने लगी। यह दृश्य देख कर ऐसा प्रतीत हो रहा था कि जो नकारात्मकता थी यह सीमा पर बन्धन देने के बाद समाप्त हो गयी है। स्कूल के सभी बच्चे एवं उनके साथ आए उनके अध्यापक ने वाघा सीमा पर ध्वज समारोह के अनुपम दृश्य का आनन्द लिया। बच्चों का अमृतसर में यह निःशब्द संदेश कि सम्पूर्ण विश्व एक है एवं सम्पूर्ण सृष्टि का रचयिता भी एक ही है, हमें अपने अन्तस में मनन के लिए विवश कर देता है। ा TULL पर कर कै॥ मैलिग्नेन्सी का चमत्कारिक निवारण मेरा बेटा तीन वर्ष का है और मैं सिख धर्म से सम्बन्ध रखती हूँ। मुझे सहज में आए दो वर्ष हुए हैं परन्तु पारिवारिक बन्धनों के कारण मैं माँ का ध्यान बिना फोटो के स्मरण से ही करती थी। मेरा बेटा, गुरतेज ( 3.5 साल), अक्सर बीमार रहता था, वजन भी नहीं बढ़ता था हर डॉक्टर को दिखाया, महंगी से महंगी दवाईयाँ दीं, मगर वह अच्छा नहीं हुआ। फिर हम एक सहजयोगी होमियोपैथी डा० नरेन्द्र गुप्ता जी के पास गए। डाक्टर साहब ने कुछ टेस्ट करवाये और जब रिपोर्ट आई तो घर में हम सबै स्तब्ध रह गये कि गुरतेज को मैलिग्नेन्सी थी। इलाज के सिलसिले में हम डा० के पास हर सप्ताह जाने लगे। डा० साहब ने सहज योग के माध्यम से इस रोग के ठीक होने के वैज्ञानिक और आध्यात्मिक पक्ष बताए। मेरे पति ने कम्प्यूटर पर मैलिग्नेन्सी और सहज योग पर पूरी खोज की। फिर, मेरे देवर (जो ऑस्ट्रेलिया में रहते हैं) ने भी इस रोग के बारे में पूरी जानकारी कम्प्यूटर द्वारा एकत्रित करी और श्रीमाताजी की कृपा से परिणाम यह निकला कि इस रोग के इलाज में आध्यात्मिक बातावरण सहायक होता है डा० साहब ने विश्वास दिलाया कि हौमियोपिथिक दवाई और सहजयोग द्वारा इस बीमारी को ठीक किया जा सकता है। उन्होंने यह भी समझाया कि सिख धर्म भी सहज योग का ही एक हिस्सा है। हीमोग्लोबिन बहुत कम था और उसका मेरी प्रार्थना और डा० साहब का प्रयास रंग लाया और मैरे पति ने आत्मसाक्षात्कार लिया। हम दोनों प्रतिदिन माँ का ध्यान करने लगे और गुरतेज को भी चैतन्य देने लगे। कुछ ही सप्ताहों में मेरे घर में माँ का मंदिर स्थापित हो गया और मेरे सभी बंधन खुल गए। गुरतेज के स्वास्थ्य में भी सुधार आने लगा। एक महीने में ही उसका वजन बढ़ना शुरू हो गया तथा उसके व्यवहार में भी परिवर्तन आने लगा। डा० साहब की दवाई और हमारा ध्यान निरंतर चलता रहा। एक दिन मेरे पति ने मन ही मन श्री माताजी से हमारे बच्चे की बीमारी ठीक कर देने के लिये प्रार्थना की। उसी सप्ताह डा० साहब ने भी सभी परीक्षा दोबारा करवाने के लिये कहा और चमत्कार हो गया... हमारे बच्चे की सभी रिपोर्ट बिल्कुल सामान्य (normal) थीं केवल दो ही महीने में इतनी भयानक बीमारी का ठीक हो जाना एक चमत्कार ही है। हम समझ गए कि श्री माताजी की कृपा हम पर हो गयी । अब हम दोनों पति-पत्नी, हमारी तरह के और माता-पिता को, जिनके बच्चे कैंसर की लाईलाज बीमारी के शिकार हैं, सहजयोग के बारे में बताते हैं और श्री माताजी से प्रार्थना करते है कि माँ आप इन सब पर भी कृपा करें और सबकी कुण्डलिनी जागृत करें। रमनजीत # ज 6 ২

 ে Yuvadrishti June 2008 Volunteers Needed for International SY Book Project Following is an email sent by Mr Alan Wherry, member of WCASY, requesting Indian yuvas to actively volunteer for this divine project. We, in the West, are well aware of the energy of the India yuvas. Their enthusiasm is most admirable. In the Book Project we are struggling constantly to find new people. Maybe some of these yuvas would like to help us in the transcription of Shri Mataji's talks? For in doing so, they will themselves deepen in their knowledge of Mother's work, and make lifelong Sahaja friends in other countries. Ihave seen email lists of 400 Indian yuvas. If we could find 40 of sufficient quality, with high speed access to the Internet, it would be a huge help to our team working on the IPP, the Internet Publishing Project.

महाराष्ट्र के महानतम् संत कवि श्री ज्ञानेश्वर का जन्म आलन्दी

श्री ज्ञानेश्वरजी के पिता विठ्ठलपन्त को, जो कि बाल्यावस्था से

तथा उन्हें तीर्थयात्राओं का बड़ा चाव था। भ्रमण के दौरान वे
आलन्दी पहुँचे। वहाँ सिद्धोपन्त कुलकर्णी ने जब इस होनहार

गुहस्थ बने थे जिसे घोर पाप माना जाता था।

NIRMAL VANI : LAJJA
या देवी सर्वभूतेषु
लज्जाखूपेण संस्थिता।
नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै
नमो नमः ॥
Meaning of Lajja
Lajja, I don't know how to describe, it's not shyness. It is a kind of a shame about your body. Lajja rupena
samasthita means you have to have shame of your body. That's specially for women As a child you will see,
women are very shy. See, little girls, they are very shy. That shyness gradually disappears, but in the
beginning they are even shy of Me. They come before Me, they'll put down their head. They'll not even say,
Namaste. Very sweet. And they don't like people wearing funny dresses... [Ref #1]
Panchami is recognized because on this day we wear a dress, whatever we wear today is so that our body
is properly covered. The sense of shame and chastity that our body has is because of Him (Shri Ganesha).
Lajja Rupena Samasthita. So if you have any sense of chastity and shame, it is because of Him. That will
benefit you immensely. [Ref #3]
Wave of Adharma
So, I've met one lady who traveled with Me. She was wearing a burkha... and by the time we landed in
London, she took out the burkha and the dress was much above the knees. (Shri Mataji laughing) I said,
"What kind of...woman is she? No Lajja, no shame, nothing, shamelessness!..
In these modern times - exposure of body is regarded as a great achievement of women. They are trying to
become aboriginals, you see. That time they (aboriginals) never had these ideas and they were not so
confused, you see. So, even if their (aboriginal) women were scantily dressed, it didn't mean that it was some
sort of a sex or some sort of an attraction for men.
Or men behaving in funny manners to show that they have a special attraction for women. I mean, why
should you? It is absolutely absurd that men should be attracted to women and women should be attracted
to men - and on the road, on the street, you go, you see, just that going on! This adharma is the worst I think,
for it's a curse. Because after coming to Sahaja Yoga also people start doing this nonsense, you know. They
should all go to lunatic asylum, I think, they are no good for Sahaja Yoga. But dharma gets established as
soon as you have the light of the spirit. [Ref #5]
Respecting the body
But the way nowadays we are going about with the show of our body, and sometimes I feel that all these
designers will die or will get bankrupt, because people wear such little clothes these days. There is no space
for any artist to show his work or to show his art how he can dress you up.
In Japan I asked them how- this is long time back... Isaid, "Howis it you wear these dresses, these kimonos,
 2008_Yuvadrishti_Mx_(Scan)_II.pdf-page-7.txt 
 Yuvadrishti June 2008
done so well, very expensive and it takes time to wear that?" So they said, "That's easy, if God has made a
beautiful body then it is His art and we have to make our art decorate it. So what we do is to make our art to
decorate it.
Ireally liked it, because in India same thing, if there is a lady she has to wear a sari, which is being made very
artfully, very beautifully, just to decorate her body, just to respect the body. But this seems to have gone with
the influence of west....
...You are notsupposed to sell your body. That's not what Goddess has done to you. But you should dress up
well, different, different occasions are there, for those occasions you have to wear the way it is.
The other dayI gavea very nice sari which we call as paithani to one lady as a present. And we had a function
for a book was inaugurated, and this lady came there. So I said, "Why didn't you wear a paithani?" She said,
"What, there is no wedding on. How can Iwear for this function paithani? There has to be a wedding." Very
sweet "in the wedding I can wear." It is all, see occasions, places which are to be celebrated. Like in India,
to
when women go to the temple or to worship the idols or anything then they will wear all that is necessary
face the Goddess, after all. Imagine people coming for this program here wearing, I don't know what they
call it, but like jute clothes like hippies, what would happen to Me? I would disappear in thin air, I can tell
this much. So, one has to have respect for the body. That is what She has said first - that lajja rupena
you
samstithan.
Now you might say that there are people who are taking their bath in the river and this and that, and give
justification. But you are saints, you are realized souls, you don't have to see those people who are not yet
realized and who are misbehaving. You must do what a saint should do.[Ref #1]
So, you should beshy, you should be humble and respect your body-it's very important. [Ref #5]
Innocence of a Child
As the children don't care for what you suggest to them-to be nasty, to be horrid-in the same way, if you are
innocent, you will not accept. You may listen to anything. Let them (non-realized people)
they want to, doesn't matter. You'll never do that because you cannot, because you are innocent and the
innocent will guard you, it will give you proper guidance-whatis to be done, what is not to be done.
tell
you anything
Now try to introspect and see for yourself, are you innocent or not? People think that somebody is trying to
overpower you, is trying to harm you, is trying to put you down. Nobody can put down innocence.
Innocence is a quality that survives all kinds of nonsense. And not only that, but age, your health, your
mind, your thinking, and your emotions are extremely innocent and you enjoy yourself.
Nowadays there is a big wave of shamelessness sometimes. The people, I have seen, they have no 'lajja'. I
 2008_Yuvadrishti_Mx_(Scan)_II.pdf-page-8.txt 
 Yuvadrishti June 2008
don't know, some men wvant to attract women and some women want to attract men. Children never do like
that. They don't know what is this, to attract men, or to attract women, or attract anyone. They will try to
please the dog, they'll try to please a horse, but they never, I have seen, going all out to attract someone. The
reason is this- that their self-esteem is complete. They know about themselves fully. So, why should they do
all this nonsense- of running after women, running after men and creating problems for themselves? Their
self-esteem is complete.
Innocence is like that. It gives you a complete self-esteem. You don't bow to anyone, nor do you make
anybody else to bow. This is the beauty of innocence, which works out so well within you. That's why
always say that worship Shri Ganesha...
...Worshipping Shri Ganesha improves your 'Mooladhara', improves your sense of shame, improves of...
your own dignity, self-esteem. You dress up in a way that shows that you respect your body. You talk in such
a way that that shows that you respect your tongue, your language; you cannot have a foul mouth if you are
innocent person. You cannot have a mind that cari abuse or can say horrible words...There is no need to use
these dirty words to express yourself. With that your tongue is spoilt. So innocence is gone from your
tongue. If you have lost innocence from your tongue, whatever you say will never come true... will never
come true. But if you are innocent and your tongue is innocent, and respects... So the basic as you can see-
respect your innocence in every manner. [Ref # 2]
I remember My granddaughter once, she saw onme magazine in which there was a lady in a swimming dress. She
said, "What are you doing? Better wear your dress, otherwise my Grandma will come and hit you hard." To that
lady that was in and then she opened and saw a man's dress with just a small, little knickers. I don't know why
they do it. And she said, "This one seems to be an absolutely shameless fellow. He is going to have bad time now."
And she closed it. And then she told the maid servant, "Burn this, burn this. I don't want to see." Such a little
girl she knew that it was wrong. [Ref#1]
Primordial taboos/dharmas
Now what does She (Kundalini) do for us, for us human beings? She's the primordial Power. What she does
is to build in us a primordial we can call "restrictions" or "primordial taboos" or "primordial dharmas."
We have in the same way primordial taboos built within us which are dharma. Ahuman being has to be like
that. If he tries to be something else, something goes wrong with his life. It's like say if you have a glass, you
drop it on the ground, it will break that is the dharma. In the same way when human beings start deviating
from the line of dharma, they get into trouble. But it's only human beings who can do that. They can only
cross over these taboos, these primordial taboos, and can become horrible...
..Now these primordial taboos are in you built in, they are there. These are existing maybe in a potential
state; maybe you have curbed them down, maybe you have turned them out, but they are there, all the time
they are there. And that's what we say that you are leaving the maryadas, or else we say that you are
insulting Shri Ganesh...
But I must say for the aboriginal people, or people who...were made aware of their primordial taboos
somehow, as the animals know what is bad for them; and that knowledge was there with aboriginals. In
India we have aboriginals... we call them Gond, Korku, Bhil. We had a lady who was a maid with us,
Genabai was her name. She was an excellent cook, but she had her maryadas. All the time, like if My father
came she would immediately cover her head and go in the other room, to respect him. Nobody told her to do
that.

people so many of them started living like them.
They said, "You have no freedom, you are just bound
by something, by some..." But actually they were
bound by the sacredness, by the divine
understanding. And then they started changing. She
was all right, her husband was all right, but her son
started drinking this is the beginning of the end
then gambling, and all other sorts of things he
started. And her grandson started going to
prostitutes. And the idea was only that "We are free
now. What's wrong?"...
They gave them skirts and blouses, I don't know what all they did. But Genabai did not. She said, "What is
this? Why should Iwear a dress like this where the whole body is exposed? No, I'll wear a sari;Ican never do
it. Why shouldI wear this kind of a useless dress?" [Ref # 4]
So, Sahaj Dharma is that you have shame, you have sense of shame. What you talk to others, what you say to
others, how

woman and She was Mahalakshmi.
So, to be a Mahalaksmi, after coming to Sahaja Yoga, you should know that you should dress up in a way
that's perfectly all right. Once I remember, I was in a big party and one gentleman came and he sat down,
"Aaaaaah!" I said, "What happened?" "What a relief, Mother, Mrs. Srivastava, to see you. See these women,
I'm fed up. Butyou came, I felt such a relief."Isaid, "What is so relieving?" "You are so serene."
So, women are serene in Sahaj Dharma. They are not stupid, frivolous, laughing at anything. That's not the
way for a woman. Anything happens, they must laugh. I mean, there is something laughable, all right, but
some things are not even laughable, they'll laugh. That's not the way. That can be ridiculous also, can
ridicule others. But, laugh of appreciation, laugh of enjoyment, is so pure and creates such beautiful
atmosphere. I think the whole ecological problem is in our brains. It is not outside. It is inside us, which is
reflected outside. [Ref #5]

For example our Vishuddhi Chakra, you have sixteen thousand powers, and all these sixteen powers are
awakened in you today as you are. Sixteen thousand powers are awakened in you as you are today, but
you speak you don't understand that when you are speaking, you are a Sahaja Yogi. With all these
powers you are speaking. When you eat, you don't understand that this tongue belongs to a Sahaja Yogi;
you should not hanker after anything. Like if somebody likes tea, he'll go on taking fifteen cups. That's
no good. If he's fond of one sort of a food, he won't take another food. Thinking too much about food all
the time, asking for food and organizing food all the time, thatspoils Vishuddhi very badly. Then talking
ill about anyone, complaining about anyone to Me will spoil your Vishuddhi. If there's some sense, if I
ask, then it's all right; but all the time talking ill about each other will spoil your Vishuddhi. 1980-0127:

SHOULD I WEAR
JEANS/TROUSERS?
(Self Introspection of
a Yuva Yogini)
My introspection started
I always wondered why I shouldn't wear jeans/trousers in
centers, Pujas and outside sahaja collectives? I could never get an
answer. I wore trousers and jeans before coming to Sahaja yoga,
and to
first collective center I was wearing jeans, and when
my
after center I was interacting with fellow yogis I was thinking that
what they must be thinking about me that I do not have sense of
decency and respect to our culture that I am wearing jeans. But
why this thought came to my mind, may be because I realized even before coming to Sahaja yoga trousers
are not part of our culture.
And thanks to Shri Mataji, that one day in 2003 all of my three jeans were washed and were drying outside in
the courtyard and somebody picked them all! Now there are too many coincidences that all 3 trousers to get
washed on same day and all three get picked up in daylight, when no cloth before and after was stolen, must
be some work of a Gana So I intuitively realized that we should not wear jeans or trousers but for next five
years why was itnot Ianswered.
Sahaja Fashion
The things would have been easier, if Shri Mataji would have said that do not wear jeans at all. But I never
came across such a lecture. But then I read lots of advices by Shri Mataji in September'07 issue of Nirmal
Vani. In which Mother told that to respect ourselves and to give us dignity we should wear clothes of our
own culture, we should wear clothes with vibrations, we should not wear short tops, indecent tops, tight
jeans etc. To this list I would like to add low-rise jeans.
You are saints do you realize? Do you realize your self-esteem? You are saints now. What clothes you wear,
you are not vagabonds. You are not tramps. You are not on the street. So you have to wear dignified dress. I
have told everyone of you that wear something dignified, not undignified. It has to be majestic, because you
are a saint now. So the dress you wear need not be absurd or something funny but should give you dignity.
false but a real dignity. You see the vibrations of a dress. Wear your country's dress. You need not
Not
any
wear somebody else's dress or something but the interest in the dress should be that it should give you
dignity and a sense of respectability. It is to preserve your respect that you have to wear a dress. That is the
Lutility of a dress.[Ref# 1]
Now if I look back and see why Iused to prefer jeans and trousers over salwar-kurtas with duppattas, which
are our culture dresses. Few reasons which Icould think of are as follows:
Duppattas are difficultin handling.
Salwar-kurtasneed very frequent washing.
Salwar-kurtas needs ironingevery time they are worn.
Jeans/trousers are very easy to wear and handle.
Jeans don't need frequent ironing and washing.

SoIstopped wearing salwar-kurtas and started wearing jeans, less work, easy to handle, lots of effort saving
(or we may call it lethargy). And last but not least, all friends wear and if I don't wear I would be called
conservative, I would be laughed at.
Shri Mataji has said, "In Sahaja Yoga there's a Sahaja fashion" [Ref# 2]
But then I ask myself, "If fashion and fear of being called 'behanji' is the reason of taking on to western
dresses then should not we Sahaja yoginis be setting fashion trends now for the satya yuga and not follow
the remaining trends of Kaliyuga. Why don't we start Sahaja fashion of salwar kurtas, with dupattas, oiled
and combed hair rather than all these jeans, short tops and open hair without oil?"
Subtle effects of Wearing Ieans/trousers
After answering that Why I should not wear jeans/trousers from external aspects which are of very
superficial nature I asked, "Are the above mentioned reasons are only reasons? There has to be something
more to it. But whatit is?" Imyself was amazed at the soundness of the explanation!
Jeans out rightly are not refused by Shri Mataji because western country culture is like that, but short tops are
refused, but girls do wear short and tight tops, if not in Sahaja collective but outside it, but what are we
loosing by wearing such indecent clothes, we can't bow to our Mother, we can't bend down in front of our
brothers, but in front of unchaste friends we do! We attract negative attention of these unchaste 'friends'and
spoil our chakras and catch on our Mooladhara and Left Vishuddhi!
We can't stand and talk to our brothers without spoiling their attention by wearing such clothes. We are
already loosing our chastity outside collective and now we are becoming responsible for adulteration in the
of our brothers rather than helping them in establishing their Shri Ganesha principle. We are spoiling
eyes
their attention and eyes and their Shri Ganesha gets angry, and ours was already angry because we are
wearing inauspicious clothes, which are short, tight, unwashed.
The responsibility of a Sahaja Yogini sister towards her Sahaja yogi brother, as described by Shri Mataji, is-
"Now this Vishnumaya is a female Power, as you know that. She didn't care for anything mundane. Can you
think of Vishnumaya going after all these nonsensical things? And to protect Her brothers, and to give all the
strength to those brothers, what did She do? What did She do? She came in Her purest form, as a Sister. You
all have here so many Sahaja Yogis as your brothers. You must be having other people also as your brothers.
This purity has to be brought into women. Unless and until this purity comes into them, they have no
powers, they are powerless. So we come down to the main thing that is : where the women are
chaste, there resides the powers of all the deities. So it's such a responsibility for us to be very chaste, and to
be very pure, and to be sisters to our brothers so that their brothers are also protected from the temptations of
the world; so that they, too, have their attention onto something higher and greater."[Ref# 3]
and
pure
Trousers with Long tops are safe! I concluded..
So I concluded that jeans and trousers are okay to wear even in Sahaja collectives but with long and loose
till knees, but it is all the more important to wear them with long tops outside Sahaja collective as well.
tops
But, aren't we forgetting dupattas to cover and protect our center hearts? I have to confess here that Imyself
feel very clumsy in handling duppattas... Shri Mataji please give me tips in this regard
Now after my above conclusion the next question is, "Can I imagine Shri Sita, Shri Radha, Mother Mary
wearing these dresses? If we can then we should go ahead with those dresses, butif can't then why wear such
inauspicious dresses. Shri Mataji has transformned us with all the qualities of the deities, then why not dress
auspiciously which pleases and respects these deities inside us? Yes, it is very right, there are so many other
 2008_Yuvadrishti_Mx_(Scan)_II.pdf-page-12.txt 
 Yuvadrishti June 2008
things which these deities have in them which I do
not have, but let me start with such a gross aspect of
dressing and then move towards subtler aspects.
Epilogue
"So in India it is not possible to introduce all these
(jeans) dresses; in the school maybe but later on they
all give up because they like Saris." [Ref# 4]
When Shri Mataji said the above sentence She was
putting so much of the confidence in us, the Indian
yuvashakti who is out of the school, and are we
supporting Her in the confidence She has put in this
sentence?
Last but not the least, if it requires so many of
justifications and explanations for wearing jeans,
then isn't it safer not to wear jeans, because it will
cause no harm if we don't wear jeans, even if they are
un-harmful. But if we wear and it is causing us some
harm in subtle way, it would be damaging to our
chakras without our knowing.

Shri Ganesha's
Qualitative Manifestations
The human being is said to be the replica of the Virata's
body i.e. the body of the God almighty. Perhaps it is in the
divine plan that the human being should manifest divine
nature embodied within him and should ultimately be one
with his creator. Hence there is a mechanism within him to
attain the purpose of his creation. He is also therefore
endowed with the ego, conditioning, intellect and attention.
Each of these institutions has distinct functions.
Shri Ganesha is worshipped first in the Pujas to all deities.
Saints and artists have praised him at the beginning of their
works. According to Shri Ganesha Atharvasheersha, Shri
Ganesha manifested before the creation. As Shri Mataji has
advised, since innocence had to be established before
creation of the universe, Shri Ganesha was created first.
Likewise in the human beings he is the firm foundation for spiritual evolution at the Mooladhara
chakra. The qualities of innocence, wisdom, purity and dedication come from him. His presence purifies
the mind, the ego and the intellect. It works as a catalyst to clear the chakras. As Shri Mataji has advised,
he resides on all the chakras and in the heart he is spirit.
Shri Ganesha's first manifestation in human consciousness comes in the form of his creativity. A child,
soon after holding a pen makes some figures in its spontaneity. It is the expression of his innate
creativity. Simnilarly, people who lived in the monolithic period through their untutored mind carved
different figures on stones, which are still available at Carnac in France. They emit vibrations. Such
expressions of creativity have their own beauty. When an artist or a writer is connected with divine, his
works emit vibrations Creativity of polluted minds examples are galore are devoid of vibrations and
beauty. A child's innocence impels him to close its eyes to the display of vulgarity, violence and other
anti-Ganesha scenes. A realized person may ignore them or laugh at their stupidity but will feel
concerred about their impact on the immature minds.
A child grows and at the same time interacts with others. His senses are getting developed, new needs
and attractions come into play and temptations around beckon his attention. Environments in the family
and surroundings in addition to inborn virtues give shape to his personality. At this time his strong
grounding of Shri Ganesha's qualities enables him to stick to virtues, accept what conforms to them and
reject what is contrary. His wisdom and inner purity guide him to keep away from the misbehaving
children and also to make friends with likeminded ones.
In the adulthood without strong Shri Ganesha self-interest may be allowed to override ethical or moral
propriety when faced with an opportunity of a material advantage. It takes Gandhji's righteousness to
send some other boy to England for education financed by a rich man when Gandhiji's own son was
keen to go.

Born realized children of Sahaja Yogis who have Shri Ganesha's blessings are seen to be sticking to their

allow their discretion and discrimination to grow. If one gives into temptations the person through his
innocence and wisdom would understand his mistakes and correct his ideas and outlooks. Then he
naturally respects the purity of relationships.
Shri Ganesha's qualities are immensely beneficial for physical, mental, psychic and spiritual balance and
health through the process of elimination and prevention for the cleansing of the body and the mind.
Due to their close relationship one helps or affects the other, besides expelling the toxic substances from
the body, the mind also has to be cleansed of the thoughts, feelings, desires and ideas unfriendly to
health and spirituality, from the mind. It is also to be kept clean by restraining and steadying the
attention and the eyes and clearing the Agnya.

अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय सहज पब्लिक स्कूल (धर्मशाला) के बच्चों का
वाघा सीमा पर भारत माता को नमन
26 नवम्बर 2006: विश्वभर से आए सहज योगी बच्चों का भारत-पाकिस्तान की वाघा सीमा पर आगमन एक अत्यन्त सुखद अनुभूति का
अनुभव रहा। अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय सहज पब्लिक स्कूल, धर्मशाला के छोटे बच्चों ने एक साथ कतार में खडे होकर वन्दे मातरम् गाया और उसके बाद
सष्ट्रीय गान प्रस्तुत किया। वाघा सीमा पर उपस्थित सभी जनसमूह एवं सीमा सुरक्षा बल के जवान धर्मशाला के बच्चों का राष्ट्रीय गान व
राष्ट्रीय गीत उनके मधुर कण्ठ से सुनकर स्तब्धता के साथ गौरवमय क्षणों को देखकर गौरवान्वित महसूस कर रहे थे। यह अनुपम दृश्य अपने
आप में विशेष एवं अनूठा था। यह पहले कभी देखने को नहीं मिला जब विश्वभर से आए सहजयोगी बच्चे एक साथ भारत माता के रूप में
आदिशक्ति माँ का ही नमन कर रहे थे। बड़े बच्चों ने वाघा सीमा पर हमारी सीमाओं की शान्ति के लिए बन्धन दिए। ठीक उसी समय काली
अँधेरी पाकिस्तान की ओर से आयी और वाघा सीमा पर पूरी तरह छा गयी। जोरों से वर्षा होने लगी। यह दृश्य देख कर ऐसा प्रतीत हो रहा था
कि जो नकारात्मकता थी यह सीमा पर बन्धन देने के बाद
समाप्त हो गयी है। स्कूल के सभी बच्चे एवं उनके साथ
आए उनके अध्यापक ने वाघा सीमा पर ध्वज समारोह के
अनुपम दृश्य का आनन्द लिया। बच्चों का अमृतसर में
यह निःशब्द संदेश कि सम्पूर्ण विश्व एक है एवं सम्पूर्ण

मैलिग्नेन्सी का चमत्कारिक निवारण
मेरा बेटा तीन वर्ष का है और मैं सिख धर्म से सम्बन्ध रखती हूँ। मुझे सहज में आए दो वर्ष हुए हैं परन्तु पारिवारिक बन्धनों के कारण मैं माँ का
ध्यान बिना फोटो के स्मरण से ही करती थी। मेरा बेटा, गुरतेज ( 3.5 साल), अक्सर बीमार रहता था,
वजन भी नहीं बढ़ता था हर डॉक्टर को दिखाया, महंगी से महंगी दवाईयाँ दीं, मगर वह अच्छा नहीं हुआ। फिर हम एक सहजयोगी होमियोपैथी
डा० नरेन्द्र गुप्ता जी के पास गए। डाक्टर साहब ने कुछ टेस्ट करवाये और जब रिपोर्ट आई तो घर में हम सबै स्तब्ध रह गये कि गुरतेज को
मैलिग्नेन्सी थी। इलाज के सिलसिले में हम डा० के पास हर सप्ताह जाने लगे। डा० साहब ने सहज योग के माध्यम से इस रोग के ठीक होने के
वैज्ञानिक और आध्यात्मिक पक्ष बताए। मेरे पति ने कम्प्यूटर पर मैलिग्नेन्सी और सहज योग पर पूरी खोज की। फिर, मेरे देवर (जो ऑस्ट्रेलिया
में रहते हैं) ने भी इस रोग के बारे में पूरी जानकारी कम्प्यूटर द्वारा एकत्रित करी और श्रीमाताजी की कृपा से परिणाम यह निकला कि इस रोग के
इलाज में आध्यात्मिक बातावरण सहायक होता है डा० साहब ने विश्वास दिलाया कि हौमियोपिथिक दवाई और सहजयोग द्वारा इस बीमारी को
ठीक किया जा सकता है। उन्होंने यह भी समझाया कि सिख धर्म भी सहज योग का ही एक हिस्सा है।
हीमोग्लोबिन बहुत कम था और उसका
मेरी प्रार्थना और डा० साहब का प्रयास रंग लाया और मैरे पति ने आत्मसाक्षात्कार लिया। हम दोनों प्रतिदिन माँ का ध्यान करने लगे और गुरतेज
को भी चैतन्य देने लगे। कुछ ही सप्ताहों में मेरे घर में माँ का मंदिर स्थापित हो गया और मेरे सभी बंधन खुल गए। गुरतेज के स्वास्थ्य में भी
सुधार आने लगा। एक महीने में ही उसका वजन बढ़ना शुरू हो गया तथा उसके व्यवहार में भी परिवर्तन आने लगा। डा० साहब की दवाई और
हमारा ध्यान निरंतर चलता रहा। एक दिन मेरे पति ने मन ही मन श्री माताजी से हमारे बच्चे की बीमारी ठीक कर देने के लिये प्रार्थना की। उसी
सप्ताह डा० साहब ने भी सभी परीक्षा दोबारा करवाने के लिये कहा और चमत्कार हो गया... हमारे बच्चे की सभी रिपोर्ट बिल्कुल सामान्य
(normal) थीं केवल दो ही महीने में इतनी भयानक बीमारी का ठीक हो जाना एक चमत्कार ही है। हम समझ गए कि श्री माताजी की कृपा हम

The lady continued, "Oh holy onel You are a learned
Brahmin but you have not understood the truth

Dharmavyadha who lives in Mathura. Any one will
tell you where he lives.
"Mother," he said one day, "I want to go off into the
jungle and devote myself to spiritual studies. "His
mother said with concern, "But son, your father and I
are very old. Your father is so sick he can hardly
move. If you go away, what will happen to us? Who
will attend to ourneeds?"
The sage thanked the lady and hurried to Mathura.
"He must be a great and learned sage indeed,"
Kaushika thought to himself.
But when he finally reached Dharmavyadaha's
place, he found it to be a butcher shop!
Kaushika did not listen. He was determined to study
the Vedas. His mother cried in vain as she watched
her son turn his back on her and leave for the jungle.

"Iknow the story of the crane and of the woman who

The crane immediately fell dead.
The sage could not contain himself and blurted out,
"But butchering animals is such a sinful profession!
Are you not ashamed?"
The sage felt sorry for what he had done. "How
could I have allowed my anger to take over me that
way?" He mourned.
Later in the day, he went to a village to beg for alms.
The lady of the house asked him to wait and went to
get some food. Right then her husband arrived. She
immediately set aside the pot of food she was taking

Abhay Mudra of the Devi
The butcher introduced the sage to his wife and
boys.
Then the butcher entered the house and touched his
parents' feet.
"Here is a learned Brahmin who has come from a
far-off place." the butcher told his old father.
"Welcome, holy one," the father said.
Before leaving the room, the butcher remarked, "My
parents are my Gods. My wife and my children
attend to them with devotion and love. We consider
caring for them to be our greatest duty."
"In doing one's duty cheerfully, lies true virtue. This
is what the dutiful wife sent you to learn."
"Oh learned one!" the butcher continued, "You have
run away from your responsibilities and deserted
your aged father and mother. Spiritual achievement
is useless if one has neglected one's Dharma, or
duties."
The sage remembered his mother crying, "Who will
look after us when you are gone my son?"
The sage apologized, "You have shown me the path
of true virtue, the true meaning of Dharma, Oh
pious one. Iam deeply indebted to you."
All of us have seen Shri Mataji's photograph.
Kaushika immediately returned to his parents and
served them lovingly till the end of their days.
The photograph of Shri Mataji shows Her
Adishakti form and Her posture is know as -
Abhay Mudra.
Love
The Left Hand, directed downwards, shows
the blessing nature of our Divine Mother.
That, She takes care of Her bhaktas and
Love seeketh not itself to please,
Nor for itself hath any care;

But for another gives its ease,
The Right Hand, which is lifted, is called the
Abhaya Hasta which means She is saying to
us, "Do not be afraid, I am taking care of you."
She protects us, also looks after our kshema.

Volunteers Needed for International SY Book Project
Following is an email sent by Mr Alan Wherry, member of WCASY, requesting Indian yuvas to actively
volunteer for this divine project.
We, in the West, are well aware of the energy of the India yuvas. Their enthusiasm is most admirable.
In the Book Project we are struggling constantly to find new people. Maybe some of these yuvas would like
to help us in the transcription of Shri Mataji's talks? For in doing so, they will themselves deepen in their
knowledge of Mother's work, and make lifelong Sahaja friends in other countries.
Ihave seen email lists of 400 Indian yuvas. If we could find 40 of sufficient quality, with high speed access to
the Internet, it would be a huge help to our team working on the IPP, the Internet Publishing Project.
Is there any way we may find such energetic people?
Much love
