Birth Day Celebrations-Nirmal Nagari, Pune
Although this day was relatively hot, yet the evening was pleasant, full of joy and coolness all around. There were around 9000 yogis present at Nirmal Nagari to celebrate the Birthday of their most beloved Mother. The Stage wore a nicely decorated palace like look. There were beautiful fragrant flowers and bunch of colorful balloons here and there.
At 7pm in the evening the collective meditation started, followed by a very powerful bhajan Naam Na Jane...Tum Asha Vishwas hamare.
With the news of Shri Mataji's holy arrival flowing into the Nirmal Nagari, the cloudless sky was filled with sparklers and beautiful fire crackers. The fragrance engulfed the entire atmosphere as the bhajans continued amidst the impatient collectivity standing with their palms open & singing the welcome song in chorus. It was probably at 7:45pm the collective had the Holy Darshan of Shri Mataji amidst thunderous applaud and excitement.
At quarter past nine, the Arti was offered at Her Holy Lotus Feet and later the collectivity was blessed to witness the most exciting moment when the cake was cut by our Mother and Sir CP to celebrate her 84th Birthday. The atmosphere was filled with joy as the fire crackers and balloons were released, and rose high in air… and right then Janam Din Ayo... (the Birthday has arrived…) was sung.
Then a series of felicitation messages, received from high level dignitaries across the globe were read out. These were received from eminent personalities around the world, like the President of India and other important dignitaries from Turkey, Texas, Oklahoma and many more. The messages contained words of praise and humility for our Mother’s contribution to the humanity at large.
Later Sir CP was requested to address the collectivity and convey the message of our Holy Mother. He requested all the Yogis/Yoginis again to take over the responsibility to spread Sahaja where ever possible and take this divine mission forward. Sir.CP also appreciated Shri Rajendra Pugalia and Pune collectivity for all the beautiful arrangements done at Nirmal Nagari for hosting the seminar.

Jai Shri Mataji !
We were expecting some photos of the Holy Puja. But the simple message from our Pappaji asking us to spread Sahaja love throughout the world is really appealing. Today, being the 7th April, on the 60th marriage anniversary of this Holy Couple, let all of us pay our humble pranams to them and seek their blessings to carry on the mission.
Jai Shri Mataji !

Having been a part of the collectivity for a year now , it was our first Puja and an experience like no other in our lives so far. Our lives got a completely new meaning on witnessing the Divine Mother in Sakshat.
It would be wonderful to see & archive some pictures on the website , of this pious occassion.
