Guest guest Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Dear All, Appended is a synopsis of what Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi told sahaja yogis in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India, on the 10th of December 1994. Her original talk was in Hindu. There is quite a lot to contemplate in this material, and as this synopsis lends itself well to point form, i have instead chosen to separate the paragraphs sufficiently for ease of contemplation on its many aspects. The very last sentence in this synopsis, is very poignant to say the least! It is: " This was a description of all three powers, but 'Shri Adi Shakti' is beyond all these and to describe Her is a difficult task! It is left to Sahaja Yogis to describe Her! " It is interesting, that Shri Mataji said in December of 1994, that " It is left to Sahaja Yogis to describe Her (the Adi Shakti), which is also the same year that at Easter Time, She spoke at Sydney Airport about the " special personalities " who would " give evidence of Her Incarnation " , which was why the puja that had been planned in the USA also got shifted to Montreal. http://adishakti.org/forum/shri_mataji_told_of_a_great_blessing_to_mankind_10-04\ -2006.htm i recall that it was all recorded, and from memory, the usual persons who would do the recordings in Sydney most of the time, were Mr. John Dobbie and also his son, Mr. Chris Dobbie. From Melbourne, it very likely would have been Mr. John Noyce, as he is the keeper of archives there to this day. When Sydneyites and Melbournites got together, it could have been between these personalities, that the archives eventually got filed away. As John Noyce has been very instrumental in 'pooh-poohing' this work for the Adi Shakti that we are doing, even to the point of saying that we do not consider ourselves as Sahaja Yogis, i doubt if he would admit of the tape's existence, even if he knew about it! i would however like Mr. John Noyce to actually " deny " the existence of this very important tape, that Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi had especially requested " be taped " ! Yes, " deny it " to Shri Mataji, that it exists! i would not like any 'obfuscation' but 'outright denial'! 'Obfuscation' is the sign of a person that 'knows something' but does not want to admit it! At least, if the denial was outright, i would know it was in blunt words, " a lie " . Then myself and others would know where John Noyce really stands in the 'scheme of things'. Because, as i have testified previously, in the URL cited above, " i was there in 1994 at Sydney Airport when Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi talked about " special children who would give evidence of Her Incarnation! " . Nobody can tell me different, i assure you!!! Also, 'Uncle' Michael Fogarty, was then the leader, who was there on that occasion also. He also helped Sir C.P. at a later year, maybe around 1996 or thereabouts, to promote his book in Sydney, called " Lal Bahadur Shastri, Prime Minister of India, 1964-1966, A Life of Truth in Politics " by C.P. Shrivastava. " " So is there anybody with a memory and a conscience? Will anybody else come forward to confirm this happening, due to which the puja was shifted at short notice (and USA yogis' inconvenience) to Montreal, in honour of Shri Mataji's revelation of the " special personalities " . i believe it was 'Uncle' Michael Fogarty and others who said they would " smooth things over " in that department, so the puja could get shifted to Montreal, with ease, and not too many 'ruffled feathers' because to have a puja in one's own city, was a 'prized-after-thing'. We will see if one day, someone else remembers, or has a return to conscience, in regards to this happening, besides myself! Please do not let administrative Sahaj politics take over. Let there be Truth rather than Politics! Or " Truth in Politics " , which we all know is a very rare thing! We sahaja yogis are not worrying about the politics. We just want others to have the truth; to know the truth of the Adi Shakti! That way people from different religious and spiritual traditions, can begin to understand Her! It is all the more important for us to do this job, as sahaja yogis who are listening to WCASY's instructions to " just to give self-realisation " are not going to be able to do this task, at least not openly, due to administrative red tape. That is also why we have had to leave the organisation (with its 'red tape') and give Her Identity of 'Shri Adi Shakti', from outside of the organisation. When our conscientiousness was weighed up, there was no real choice in the matter, but to do as She wants. As Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi said: " Shri Adi Shakti is beyond all these [three powers] and to describe Her is a difficult task. It is left to Sahaja Yogis to describe Her! " However, instead of helping in all this, the administration 'WCASY' have used all their administrative powers, to try and stop us from describing Her. We don't understand. Where is this negativity in the 'organising administrators' coming from? It is very clearly stated that we " have to describe Her, the Adi Shakti! So, we will continue to do so. People will come to know that it is about the " Divine Within " eventually, and not Her external form. It goes from external form to internal form. Christians, for example, go right towards the internal form, and won't have anything to do with an external form! Hindus tend to go for the external form, leading to the internal form. (i don't mean to generalise here, but to make a 'succinct point' in regards to the different " Branches on the Tree of Life " ). But, like Jagbir has also noted, " why are Sahaja Yogis whom Shri Mataji spent many, many years informing about the " Mother Within " , still so focussed on Her external form, on the Incarnation's form? " What will happen when Shri Mataji has Her Mahasammadhi, and Her external form is no longer there? Will Sahaja Yogis start to worship the external form of Sir C.P., because they need the external form? If that is the case, Shri Mataji's Message all these years, has not been understood, and i see problems ahead, unless sahaja yogis go within, and address the administration as to the direction they are taking. Maybe, the younger generation will have more spiritual sense, and be able to set the ship back to sail in the right direction. i remember very clearly that Shri Mataji said we should not forget about our " Mother Within " and that She had come to introduce us to our " Mother Within?! That is the Adi Shakti, and we have to meet Her and describe Her, and that job is being done by sahaja yogis who have met Her within themselves! So lets hope, that the organisation of Sahaja Yoga will be transformed also " from within " by yogis who start to address these issues, and hold WCASY members responsible for their actions! Lets see what happens in future! Getting back to us sahaja yogis being asked to describe the Adi Shakti, under the 'WCASY umbrella' we were not allowed to do this job. We can however do it under the 'Adi Shakti's Umbrella'! i was there at Sydney Airport in the mid-1990's when Shri Mataji said this would happen, if Her Message was not given within the organisation. The only spiritual security there is to have, lies under the Adi Shakti's Umbrella anyway!!! i am sorry to inform those folks who think they are spiritually secure under a 'WCASY umbrella', that they are not!!! They may have security of 'numbers', but it is not 'numbers' that gets you spiritual liberation, it is individually " going within " and meeting the Adi Shakti, the Divine Mother within you, that gets you your spiritual liberation! Administration of any kind, can never give you spiritual security, because an administration is an external thing. Until sahaja yogis work this out in sahaja yoga, it cannot be worked out in this world, that is, the 'priestly factor' that always goes against the 'Adi Shakti' factor, against gnosticism, which just means " to go within " . i hope you enjoy what Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi said {in the appended below) and take it into your heart of hearts, as this Divine Knowledge is for the transformation of humanity! It is also the knowledge for having the blessings of the Divine in your life! Warm regards to All, violet Synopsis of what Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi said re Adi Shakti being beyond all three powers, and what these powers are.... We are worshippers of Shri Adi Shakti and follow the dharma of the Shakti. Adi Shakti is especially worshipped by royalty and She is known by many different names. In Jaipur, She is recognized as Ganagaur. Rajasthan is specially blessed because the Adi Shakti once incarnated there as Sati Devi who was Herself Ganagaur. The blessings She bestowed at that time are still present in Rajasthani culture. Shri Sati Devi established the dharma of woman, wife, householder, husband and king. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi's relationship to Rajasthan is ancient; Her ancestors were from the Sisodia dynasty of Chittorgarh in Rajasthan. Adi Shakti has every Shakti. She first incarnated on Earth as the 'Divine Cow, Surabhi', and all the Gods and Goddesses were contained in Her. She always has to incarnate in the form of Mahamaya (Mahamaya Swarupa). From childhood until marriage Sati Devi remained hidden in the form of Mahamaya, never revealing Her true form. On the day of Her marriage, while travelling in a palanquin, Her party was attacked by bandits, who killed Her husband. She came out of the palanquin, showed Her true form, destroyed the bandits, and then gave up Her physical form. Adi Shakti's true form is hidden because if revealed, people would attack Her and try to band together to prevent Her work. In this form the very subtle work of collective consciousness has to be done which no one has ever done before, and which has to be done comfortably so that no one suffers at all. Leave alone en-masse realization, it takes years to give realization to one person. Today as the dharma has become contrary to real dharma, people have learned the art of skilfully hiding their shortcomings and putting on a show. Mahamaya incarnates to expose and correct faults and problems hiding in us. Mahamaya Shakti was created to remove our defects. We absorb these powers in our body and cleanse it. People who are possessed know Shri Mataji very well: they start shaking and run away because they see Her as Mahakali. This doesn't happen for Sahaja Yogis, but their recognition is also not as much, which is a good thing in a way, because seeing Mahakali can be very frightening. All the left side defects settled in us, like continually thinking about the past, can only be cured with the grace of Mahalakshmi, once the negativity is removed by Shri Mahakali. In the subtle, the form of Shri Mahakali is Ati©Raudra (extremely fierce). She manifests as Rudra, which is very necessary to correct Her children. Without it, the left side negativity will not go away. For example, people keep thinking about their past and their past lives. If the form of Mahakali is shown, people forget about all these things. She also eradicates the bhoots [negativity] seekers have from false gurus. If Shri Mahakali's power were not used, the work of Sahaja Yoga would not have been possible in this Kali Yuga. The chakras get caught up by negativity and unless they are clear, the Kundalini cannot rise. Thus, Shri Mahakali is worthy of adoration and praise. She does not cause any physical, mental or emotional troubles for anyone. Her mere sight makes the negativity run away. The greatest quality of women is the shaleenata (gentleness, dignity, regality, courtesy). From without, the great Shakti of Mahakali appears very lustrous, gracious, but from within, her Shakti is very active. By nature She is Mahakali, but She appears shaleen like a newly wed, very shy. Her speech is like a shower of blessings. Shri Mahakali should wear a burkha (a veil) not for their protection but for the protection of others who may look at her with disrespect and get destroyed. Women have to take care not to be dominating and aggressive. Shaleenata can win, there is no need for a woman to shout and dominate. Quarrels between husband and wife are a very big problem nowadays. Husbands want wives to be simple, but once city bred, they cannot be. Those who are city bred are less feminine, and the shaleenata finishes off. The shaleenata character of women is that they do not go to the battlefield. They are brave from the home front and the men go to fight with the help of their shakti. As long as the shaleenata of the woman is not active, the Gruhalakshmi power does not manifest within her. When Shri Mahakali's shakti becomes extremely peaceful, She becomes Shri Gruha-lakshmi. Shri Fatima Devi adorns the throne of Shri Gruhalakshmi. With this shakti of Shri Mahakali, the women keep their children on a proper path. It is their power, which acts through their husbands and their brothers. A shaleen woman has a great capacity to laugh and correct thousands of problems. She knows that her power is in her shaleenata and not in ego. Shri Mahakali has many vehicles. When She rides an elephant, She is called Lalita Gauri. The art, the skill, the feelings of Shri Lalita Gauri are all dignified, refined and beautiful. The second important shakti of Shri Adi Shakti is Shri Mahasaraswati. With the blessings of Shri Mahasaraswati, our brain is enlightened with artistic ideas and wisdom. Saraswati is also called Sharada. By the grace of Sharada, many exquisitely beautiful and peaceful thoughts arise within us. It is with Her blessings that enlightened ideas are developed smoothly in a very soothing manner and so many beautiful, inspiring and invigorating poems spring forth. The lack of wisdom in human beings has led to many perverse ideas and adharmic literature, which is romantic, imaginary, sad or filthy. These themes have nothing to do with Sharada Devi. Shri Sharada is the one who has the complete authority over the truth and gives us the truth. Shri Sharada is Vag Devi (the Goddess of Language). Many saints who are blessed by Sharada Devi have written beautiful poetry, such as Gnyaneshwara, William Blake, Sharat Chandra, Kurup, Kabir, Guru Nanak, and Ramdas. The greatest works of spirituality are in Sanskrit, followed by Marathi. Shri Sharada also becomes Shri Mahamaya, in that ordinary people cannot understand the beauty and the truth in these enlightened works. For example, only a Sahaja yogi with the sensitivity to Divinity can understand the works of Zen. Music and art are the blessings of Shri Sharada Devi as well. They have to be pure; one cannot go on mixing ragas. The houses in Rajasthan are beautiful and artistic because the Mother Earth has given Rajasthan beautiful stones and many artistic things. In Rajasthan there is now a blossoming of art due to the blessings of Shri Sharada. Their design and colour combinations are uninhibited, artistic and beautiful. Westerners are lacking in their artistic expression. When their heart and head become one, then they will understand real exuberance, when the joy that one feels becomes colours and spreads all over. The art of drama is very well developed in Bengal and Maharashtra, where people prefer to go to see drama, not cinema. Now the standard of drama has gone down, so much so that Sharada Devi may run away. Not only is She not respected; She is even insulted! In films, the more dirty, wrong and adharmic (...). Cleanliness and neatness are also the blessings of Shri Sharada. She draws away from filth. Indian women are good in this regard and keep the inside of the house clean, but Indian men lack in this respect and should improve in their attention to the cleanliness of the outside of the house. In order to receive the blessings of Shri Sharada, we have to respect Indigenous art and artists. Especially in India, there is no need to hanker after the westernized lifestyle, which does not have any art. Indian art is fine art. English and American art was good as long as it was in a realistic or even impressionist style, but modern art is degrading. When there is any perversion, Shri Sharada withdraws Herself from that country. The art lies in concealing the art. We don't need to show off. We should know some music; it may even be folk music. Everything we do has to have the covering of the blessings of Sharada Devi. All Sahaja Yogis should have an understanding of art and should use artistic things, especially handmade things. This will also solve the ecological problem by reducing the use of artificial and plastic things. Adi Shakti is Trigunatmika. After Shri Mahakali and Mahasaraswati, the third shakti is Shri Mahalakshmi. Diwali Puja to Shri Lakshmi was in Turkey last year because there is a lot of poverty there. The puja of Mahalakshmi is only for seekers. She is known as the Redeemer in the Bible, and She pours Her blessings when we start seeking. But to rise on the central channel, on the path of Mahalakshmi, is very difficult; the mind takes us to the left and to the right. Only with the awakening of the Kundalini can we remain in the centre. Mahalakshmi builds the bridge over the void and after crossing this bridge, when Kundalini ascends and breaks the brahmarandhra, She unites us with the Brahmanda (the cosmos). After this happens, the Trigunatmika together help us. When the Kundalini crosses Agnya and we come into Sahasrara, Adi Shakti resides there as Mahamaya (Sahasrare Mahamaya). The more we try to understand Mahamaya, the subtler we become. This subtlety is essential. We should be proud of what is inside of us, in the subtle! The obstacle in the way of our subtlety, is the pull from the left and the right side. To overcome this pull, we have to face ourselves and introspect. While doing this, little by little we get settled in Sahaja Yoga. As long as the seeker does not achieve that state, he is restless, but once he reaches the state, he has to use it; otherwise, the faith does not become strong and the state of Nirvikalpa is difficult to reach. This was a description of all three powers, but Shri Adi Shakti is beyond all these and to describe Her is a difficult task. It is left to Sahaja Yogis to describe Her!!!
