Icon_photo photos Icon_video video

We were fortunate to perform Puja to Shri Mataji, the auspicious offerings were made,  the vibrations incredible. Then a moment for all the true believers gathered, and all those in every corner of the world, in every  home, and collective house, a moment to silence all doubters, and those who seek to follow paths not in keeping with the Sahaja collective.


Shri Mataji asked for the microphone, and She smiled at us all and for the first time in many years She spoke in a clear lucid tones, words of power, awakening the kundalini, affirming, reassuring, joyous revelation, tears of joy again began to flow around the room, and through many water filled eyes were we privileged to again sit as humble devotes before the Feet of our Guru, and listen to Easter Puja April 8th discourse. Forgive any inaccuracies in their re-telling for this humble instrument is full of faults.

The second day of the three day Christmas Puja seminar was dedicated to the offering of the Christmas Puja at Her Holy Lotus Feet of Shri Mataji in Her Shri Jesus Mary form. Puja time was announced for six thirty but the collectivity was requested to be in mediation right at quarter to six to avoid any hurried movements before the puja.   The wonderful musical programme in the morning had done much of the cleansing in the collectivity. The collectivity had swelled up to approximately 13 thousand in the open air space in front of the main pandal. The evening wore a very serene look with a beautiful golden yellow sun set against the hilly background. The sky was clear and a very ambient temperature prevailed.

The day took off with a powerful havan in the morning. It was a welcome event to help cleanse the subtle self of the collectivity to allow us to enjoy the day’s events in this divine land of Nirmal Nagri. Later it transitioned to a memorable musical evening that Sahaja Yogis shall never forget.The evening’s excitement escalated with the staging of a dance drama by the Sahaja children of ISPS, Dharmshala, India. The drama was about the story of Creation, the Cosmos and its essence the Causal, and the origin of the various notes of music, underscored with the original score of the most powerful declaration of the advent of Shri AdiShakti by Her own words of H.H. Shri Mataji from an old archived audio score. The silence that followed was just galactic.

The morning sun of Mumbai seemed to be in a great mood in the morning of seventeenth October 2006 to welcome our most Holy Mother, where every heart yearned for Her Holy darshan and to be prepared to offer their forthcoming Puja this weekend. It was a normal sunny day though, but it seemed that the joy in the hearts of the small gathering of Sahaja Yogis and Sahaja Yoginis outside the Mumbai Airport seemed to have the glow of a thousand suns inside to receive their dearest one within.
