DivineSahajayoga Self-realization in Vienna.

 

 

Jai Shri Mataji!

 

This message just came via Austria:

 

Self-realization will be given in the muslim ethnic restaurants in

Vienna. After establishing Sahaja Yoga in Morroco over the passed

few years, the Austrian Sahaja Yogis are happy to hear that the

established leader of Morroco is visiting Istanbul for a couple of

months to gain further depth living with Sahaja Yogis there. Many

seekers in Saudi Arabia, Libya and other Islamic countries are

getting their Self-realization through the Arabic language Sahaja

Yoga web-site (based in Austria) and enthusiastically contacting

Sahaja Yogis via the site.

 

Allah-ho-Akbar!

 

-edward

 

(You can now hear a beautiful, traditional song, sung at the recent

Austrian S.Y. seminar by an Algerian Sahaja Yogi, at

info)

Sahaja Yoga Morocco, 2003

 

Some 8 years ago, Mother asked the Austrian collectivity to take

care of spreading Sahaja Yogathroughout the Islamic country Morocco.

Franz Mekyna took the lead and went a couple of times every year, to

get to know the countryand itsways, and found that music is a very

easy way to reach Moroccans. Music concerts were given, many

Moroccans got their Self realisation but somehow just did their

meditations privately at home, without getting collective.

 

Eight years ago my husband Laurens and me went from our country the

Netherlands toMorocco for a 4-weeks holiday. We were not doing

Sahaja Yoga then. During our travels, we met a very honest and

friendly young man in a hotel reception, Ali, and he became our

friend. AfterI started to do Sahaja Yoga in 1997 I once wrote Ali a

letter about it. He replied, telling me we had to come to visit him

and teach him this yoga.

 

So finally in April last year we went to visit himand his mother in

Marakech. We meditated together and he just got it so fast. He

keptmeditating twice a day from the very beginning. We tried to

supply him with information infrench, and somehow it took us until

october before we heard about Franz' activities in Morocco. We

wrote to him and Franz phoned Ali. Ali showing recognition of Shri

Mataji, Franz decided tovisit him in february 2003.

 

fter this, he thought it good to try and form a collectivity in a

collectivity in Marakech. Also Ali liked the idea. So the news was

spread among our collectivities and those of Germanyand Czech and

Belgium. People reacted very heart-warming and put their attention

andbandhans, and gave money to be able to buy such things as tapes

and some Puja gear forMorocco. Franz found three yogi musicians from

Czech and Slowakia - Dushan (harmonium and singing), Fabrice (tabla)

and Daniela (singing) - and invited them to Marakech. I would go

beginning ofthe week and the others would join in on Friday, Shri

Mataji's Birthday 21st of March, stayingfor 5 days to do the

programmes. We wrote a letter to Shri Mataji telling Her about our

plans. Someone told Franz that after She had read it, She said

something like " Morocco is an Islamic country isn't it? "

and after closing Her eyes, She put Her Attention towards Morocco

for quite along time. Then She said She was very happy about it.

 

The evening before I left Holland to go to Marakech, Laurens called

me outside on our balcony to see something special: it was sunset

and an orange sun was going down in a red and orange colored sky,

but, strangely because there were no clouds, vertically out of the

sun came up a bundle of bright light, that went all up to heaven. A

beautiful sign.

 

When I arrived Ali told me that the night before it had rained a lot

in Marakech. So obviously Nature was helping in clearing. The first

few days were very busy and went very fast, it was noteasy to

meditate and when the others arrived for Puja on Friday evening, we

had a modest Pujain Ali's house, very quietly because of the

neighbors - but very joyful.

 

On Saturday we got out to hand out leaflets to people in the

streets, inviting them to one of theconcerts that were going to be

given on Saturday, Sunday and Monday in a beautiful conference room

in a hotel. It poured rain and it was quite cold outside. We got

pretty drenched. In theevening about 30 peoples came to hear the

concert. Amazing - Moroccan people got their Selfrealisation so

easily, we did not have to give them Realisation, they just got it

by hearing the beautifully sung bhajans. In between Dushan told them

something about Sahaja Yoga and Ali translated into Arabic.

 

Many people returned each night to the concert and also every

evening some new people came by the leaflets we handed out during

the day. At the end of each concert, we would play musicall together

and the Moroccans would sing some Moroccan songs. It was Franz'

idea to buya bouderba, a Moroccan drum and the Moroccan men played

on it, while singing songs. It was all so cool. In the daytime,

besides giving leaflets and Realisation, a lot of clearing was done.

The group went to the gardens and worked there with camphor, took

footsoak, did collective shoe-beating, and gradually the heavy left-

side atmosphere of Marakech turned into a fresher and lighter one.

 

By then it was time for the others to go home, Marakech had

undergone a metamorphosis. The follow-up course on Thursday in the

Oudaya hotel was visited by about 15 people. Every Thursday, Ali

comes together with some people and meditates, listens to raga's

and tells themsome new things. Paramchaitanya took care of follow-up

for this week: Victoria and Christian from France are there now for

holiday, joining the collective meditation on Thursday. Ali can use

some supportfrom abroad, also for himself to learn and grow, after

all he is only in Sahaja Yoga for one yearnow. Franz will go another

couple of times this year, probably Laurens will go too.

 

If you feel like going there and lend a hand, please let Franz know.

As for myself, I found it a great inspiration and joy-giving

experience. JAI SHRI MATAJI WHO DOES IT ALL ! Selma van Laake Shri

Mataji's
