Dear Kyyan,

 

Many SYs, like the religious masses, project their senses outwards ..

............ whether towards Mecca, the Wailing Wall, Guru Granth

Sahib, an idol of Jesus, Buddha or Shiva. It is all external and

conditioning over the millennia has fossilized these traditions

(Buddhism, Hinduism and Taoism does offer paths towards internal

enlightenment).

 

However, external projection does indeed help to focus on the deity,

god, buddha etc. A mental visual instills faith, confidence and

security. Perhaps that is what you need most now.

 

But i have to tell you that having more altar paraphernalia - while

absolutely necessary for building and instilling faith, confidence

and security - will not lead to more vibrations or deeper

meditation. Yes, coconut and lemons do help to absorb negativity but

a strong kundalini does wonders, and is second to none. So do not

worry about decorating your altar. The Divine is not looking for a

trendy altar but a human with a divine qualities.

 

If you want to have extra protection from negativity a coconut with

a swastika hidden from view will absorb the same amount of

negativity as that on the altar. Over the years i have relied on two

coconuts and a 24/7 altar flame to absorb all the negativity.

Initially they cracked easily and needed constant replacement. Once

i had to replace nearly 40 within a week because even seven in a row

cracked, some audibly, overnight. But nowadays they last for weeks

and hardly crack open anymore, except for tiny fractures.

 

But Kyyan, do not fall into the illusion that you need an external

image of Shri Mataji to meditate. i am increasingly resorting to

meditating on Her in my Sahasrara, whether in the bedroom prior to

sleeping, in the sitting room, park, etc. What i am saying is that

there is no altar or image to externally focus my attention. Instead

it is projected inwards and there is absolutely no difference

between vibrations. Yes, initially it may take some practice to get

used to the change but after some time you will find no disparity

between meditating with or without Shri Mataji's image. When the

Kingdom of God is within why search for it in outside yourself?

 

To meditate on Her formless just bow to Her within the Sahasrara,

raise your kundalini, say the mantras and meditate. IMO, this is the

highest and purest method of meditation. As one advances so will

this realization. Maybe i am trying to make you into a marathon

runner when you have just decided to try the 100 meters that many

fellow SYs are experts in. But most will one day switch to marathon

running because Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi cannot remain on Earth

forever. Where will SYs look for Her then?

 

Jai Shri Mataji,

Dear All,

 

i would really prefer more SYs give their own opinions like Gautum

did. It does not matter what the regular contributing members say. i

can only improve if others allow their opinions to be heard.

 

Shri Mataji has said that Sahaja Yoga is a living organism that will

keep on evolving. Only by learning from each other can we have

sufficient experience to spread Sahaja Yoga in a dynamic and

transparent way that appeals to all newcomers.

 

That is no question that the internet is vital to the future of

Sahaja Yoga. Thus every effort must be made to answer the questions

and doubts of newcomers who are now becoming attracted to Shri

Mataji and Her message to humanity.

 

Gone are the days when only the elite were supposed to be looked

upon for answers. We must make every new seeker his (her) own master

by providing all the initial guidance and relevant knowledge. As

Gautum has said, the initial hours it will be really difficult. That

is when we SYs must lend our collective support that is so crucial

to the neophyte. It is indeed a joy to see newcomers who, feeling

the cool breeze of the Spirit from within themselves, strive to

survive a harsh environment to learn about the Great Event ordained

for humanity.

 

We are just beginning to link the cool breeze not only to kundalini

awakening/subtle system but also to the Great Event ordained by the

scriptures for all humanity. Unlike the past subtle system decades

of Sahaja Yoga, the majority of those convinced by the present truth

of this Great Event will not leave.

 

People want to know why they are feeling the cool breeze. If SYs do

not explain the link between kundalini awakening and the Great Event

the vast majority of seekers will just say, " So what???!! " ........

....... and walk away. Only the truth will make them stay.
