Some facts surrounding the Birth of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi....

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Here are some facts surrounding the birth of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.

Apparently She was born pure, clean, and without any blood on Her body, and

therefore was called " Nirmala " (meaning pure). I have heard that this is the way

of Divine Incarnations, that they are even born physically pure, which I find

most fascinating to say the least. To think that we are living in the lifetime

of a Divine Incarnation, is the greatest blessing. So, please enjoy these facts

surrounding Her birth.

Her Holiness Shree Mataji Nirmala Devi, the founder of Sahaja Yoga, was born on

March 21st, 1923 at Chindwara in the State presently known as Madhya Pradesh.

Her father's family, the Salves, are descendants of the historically famous

Shalivahan dynasty of India. Her father, Sri Prasad Rao Krishnan Salve, was a

leading barrister, a great freedom fighter and a close associate of Mahatma

Gandhi. Elected to the constituent assembly after India's independence, he was a

linguist who had mastered fourteen languages and had translated the Holy Quran

into Hindi. Her mother was an honours graduate in Mathematics and was equally

enlightened.

 

There is an interesting incident that had forewarned the Senior Salve couple

about the advent of their special child. Being a well-known hunter and a friend

of the local King, Sri Salve was invited by the King to help solve the menace of

a man-eating tiger in the neighbouring hills of Chindwara. Krishnan Rao Salve,

accompanied by his pregnant wife, responded to the invitation and settled

themselves on a Machan, a temporary shelter built on top of a tree for animal

hunting, patiently waiting for the tiger. The Machan offered an aerial view and

safety for the hunter. Being a full moon, it was a bright night, and the

ferocious tiger came into view. As Sri Salve prepared for the shot and took aim,

his wife, carrying her child in the womb, had an unexplainable feeling of

compassion for the animal. She prevented her husband from shooting the tiger and

the realized soul that he was, Sri Salve understood the significance. " Is it the

Goddess Durga, in your womb? " he asked and put the gun down.

 

When the child was born, she was pure, clean and without any blood on her body,

hence she was named Nirmala, meaning the immaculate. Nirmala's childhood was

very special and full of indications about the role she would play in the

future.
