Shri Mataji has also had the experience of the Baptism of the Holy

Spirit, but this has happened on a grand scale, never seen before on

Earth. One day, on the 5th of May, 1970, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

found Herself in solitary contemplation on a beach at Nargol, India

when this lead to an amazing spiritual experience, which Shri Mataji

first explains, and then describes below: -

 

The explanation: -

 

" As you know, in the Sahasrara there are the seats of the seven main

chakras. There are 1000 nadis [channels] or as they call it 'flames'

and they each have 16000 powers. Every nadi deals with a particular

type of person and with the person's mutations and combinations of

all these nadis, human beings are looked after. "

 

The experience: -

 

" As soon as the Sahasrara was opened, the whole atmosphere was

filled with tremendous chaitanya [vibrations], and there was

tremendous light in the sky, and the whole thing came on this earth

as if a torrential rain or a waterfall with such tremendous force,

as if I was unaware and got stupefied. The happening was so

tremendous, and so unexpected, that I was stunned and got totally

silent at the grandeur.

 

I saw the primordial Kundalini rising like a big furnace, and the

furnace was very silent but a burning appearance it had, as if you

heat up a metal and it has many colours. In the same way, the

Kundalini showed up as a furnace like a tunnel, as you see these

plants you have for coal burning that create electricity; and it

stretched like a telescope and came out one after another, Shoot!

Shoot! Shoot! Just like that.

 

Then the deities came and sat on their seats, golden seats, and then

they lifted the whole of the head like a big dome and opened it, and

then this torrential rain completely drenched me-I started seeing

all that and got lost in the joy.

 

It was like an artist seeing his own creation, and I felt the joy of

great fulfillment. After coming out of this beautiful experience, I

looked around and saw human beings so blind and I became absolutely

silent, and desired that I should get the cups to fill the nectar,

not all stones. "

 

(May 5, 1982, France)

 

 

This amazing experience of Shri Mataji was the coming on Earth of

the Power of God's Holy Spirit in a Primordial or Universal Way, so

that all human beings who desire their Second Birth or Self-

Realization, can receive it now.

 

The experience that people can receive now is the same experience

that Jesus awakened within His Disciples on the Day of Pentecost

when they saw the flames of fire on their heads and felt the Cool

Breeze of the Holy Ghost.

 

However, before this date of 5 May, 1970, it was not possible for

people to receive their Baptism of the Holy Spirit, Kundalini

Awakening, or Second Birth 'en-masse'.

 

It is only with the Advent of Shri Mataji Nirmala, the Comforter,

that this bodily resurrection of the Spirit within human beings has

been made possible.

 

" And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another

Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of

truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not,

neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and

shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to

you.

 

(John 14:16-18 - King James Version)

Shri Mataji explains how you get your enlightenment: -

 

" When your Sahasrara opens out, and your Kundalini touches the

fontanelle bone, a sort of lightening force is ready in your

Sahasrara; and as soon as the fontanelle bone area opens up in the

Sahasrara, the grace of the spirit ignites that igniting force and

your nadis (channels) get enlightened. Not all of them, but quite a

lot of them; not all the length, but quite the peripheries. That is

how you get your enlightenment. So many things happen because of

your seven centres being in the Sahasrara, with the light you see

their relative positions. I mean your mind, your conscious mind

feels that integration within you. The rationality that is separated

from the heart becomes one with the heart. It becomes one with your

attention. Wherever your attention goes you act in a collective way.

All the activities in your attention are blessed. Your attention

itself is effective. Your attention is very important, your desires

are even more important because it is such an integrated thing, your

desires and your attention becomes one. Whatever is good for the

spirit, you desire. "

Shri Mataji gives more insight about her experience of the

Sahasrara: -

 

" Sahasrara is the most beautiful part of your being. It is a big

lotus with one thousand petals of different colours appearing like

inflated flames. It is a thing that has been seen by many people,

but to see it pour that torrential rain was like these flames

becoming a fountain, a fountain of colour, fountatin of fragrance;

when you think of a flower pouring its colour and its fragrance

around. People have written very little about Sahasrara, because

whatever they have seen is from outside, and it is not possible for

them to see from inside. Even if you reach from inside and the whole

Sahasrara is not opened out, you cannot see its beauty; because when

it is closed, the whole of it, you just pass through an aperture and

get out of it. But just imagine a huge big one thousand petalled

lotus, and you are sitting inside on the corona and looking at all

those petals, all very beautifully coloured, and fragrant, and

pulsating with the bliss of joy. To remain on that position is the

ideal position, but then after the silence you are filled with

tremendous compassion and love, and you are drawn out to people who

haven't yet known what is having eyes. And then you try to put your

attention to the Sahasrara of millions of people; and then you start

seeing the problems that exist in the Sahasrara. And even if you

desire to open the Sahasrara, it is a very difficult thing, because

the channelling of the Divine to human beings has to be done through

human beings. The power may be with you, but it has to be channelled

through human beings. "
