The Spiritual Monsoon Begins

 

It was in early November 1993, that the drizzle of Divine

Consciousness began. A Sahaja Yogi friend, Bhupinder, asked

permission from the father if he could teach his sons Kash (13 year-

old) and Shah (11 year-old) how to meditate. To allay any fears he

explained that it was a simple, extremely harmless, newly discovered

method of spiritual awakening.

 

Both children were given Self-Realization after which all three of

them meditated. When they finished Kash went straight to his father

and exclaimed that he had reached a beautiful land far away. The

father skeptically listened, occasionally glancing at his friend to

see if it made any sense to him.

 

Kash told that the very instant he closed his eyes and went into

meditation, he found himself standing on a soft carpet of clouds —

hues of blue and white not seen on Earth — spreading in all

directions as far as the eye could see. Some distance away there was

a very bright Light shining above and illuminating the entire

vastness. In spite of its dazzling brilliance he could gaze at it

without hurting his eyes. He just stood and looked around in

amazement and awe at the tranquillity and stunning beauty of the

surroundings. For a long time he continued gazing around this

strange serene land, wondering where he really was. Kash did not

even take one step in any direction. The sheer splendor of this

awesome scene illumined by a single dazzling Light and his inability

to comprehend where he was kept him mesmerized and rooted to one

spot.

 

After gazing around for about twenty minutes Kash closed his eyes

again, and descended back to Earth.

 

His ignorant father just took it as a figment of a child's

imagination. Unknown to him his Sahaja Yogi friend had just awakened

his son's Kundalini, the potential divine energy residing within

humans (Holy Spirit). (This is nothing short of a stupendous

revolutionary spiritual breakthrough achieved by Shri Mataji Nirmala

Devi, who bestows such priceless powers to any human desiring a

Higher Consciousness.) This very first spiritual experience of a

child immediately after Self-Realization — human connection with the

Universal Spirit through the awakening of the Kundalini — by another

Sahaja Yogi irrefutably confirms that all devotees of the Great

Supreme Spirit have been endowed with the spiritual power to give

the " second birth. " This fact absolutely confirms what Shri Mataji

has proclaimed to the world — That SHE is the One who will

emancipate humankind!
