Shri Mataji arrives in the UK!
So at last the momentous day has arrived. At 18.00 hours on 22nd April 2006, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, the Queen of our Universe, arrived at Heathrow Airport in West London at the beginning of an historic visit to the United Kingdom.
The party was greeted at the airport by a small group of Sahaja Yogis and Shri Mataji and Sir C.P. graciously agreed to attend a reception that had been arranged for them by the UK collective in Chiswick Town Hall, which is literally a few minutes away from the residence they will be using during their stay here. All day Yogis from across the UK had been arriving at the Town Hall to prepare for the hoped for arrival, and the hall had been filled with the happy sounds of children, teams of Yogis preparing the halls and bhajan practice.
Finally, at around 8pm, the longed for event occurred and the car swept gently into the driveway of the hall, to be greeted with love and deep devotion by a group of Yuva Shakti, children and Yogis. Shri Mataji was then led into the hall itself, where the assembled Yogis were waiting with eager anticipation for the blessing of Her time and Darshan.
Dr David Spiro then delivered a lovely speech of welcome on behalf of all the Sahaja Yogis of the UK, and Sir C. P. gave a beautiful and typically generous response to say how nice it was to be back in the UK, after which a series of short presentations were made to Shri Mataji. These included presents from the children of the UK as well as a framed painting of Saint George on a horse killing the dragon. This is especially significant since Shri Majati is staying at a house called St George, named after this famous patron Saint of England and the 23rd April is actually St George's day in the UK - it is literally England's day!
By this time the Vibrations and Love from the reception were threatening to lift the hall from its foundations as the bhajan group started to play Sitting in the Heart of the Universe.
All too quickly the reception drew to a close and Shri Mataji and Sir C. P. took their farewells to travel to the new residence and settle in. The Sahaja Yogis remained behind in the hall to share the Vibrations and soak up the atmosphere, and very quickly an impromptu bhajan session began to celebrate the Divine visit. Through the kindness and generosity of our Indian brothers and sisters in the West London collective, delightful Indian snacks were served and a party atmosphere soon started to manifest which lasted until late into the night.
What an absolute joy and privilege it is to host our Divine Mother in these most important and significant times. Jai Shri Adi Shakti Mataji, Shri Nirmala Devi, namoh namah.

Dear Brothers and Sisters, we all felt so happy to be able to welcome Shri Mataji in this beautiful hall only a few minutes away from Her new home in London. I think we should have our weekly meeting there. What a beautiful place, especially now that we have been there with Her. Jai Shri Mataji Daniel Wagner

Why has she chosen us? What is her dream? Are we the ocean? Are we conscious? Are we working?
