Guest guest Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 " Today is a great day for all of us. Because the ... you could feel the existence of God. By saying there is God, that was not sufficient. And to say there is no God also was wrong, very wrong, and people have suffered, who have said like this. Only after taking realization you know that there is God and there are vibrations. It is a very big happening all over the world. Today I am saying that's why it's one of the greatest days for you. " Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi 2008 Guru Puja, Cabella, Italy Dear devotees of the Primordial Mother, Namaste – I bow to the Divine Feminine who resides in your Sahasrara! i have decided to break up the ground-breaking 2008 Guru Puja speech by Shri Mataji as it would be easier to grasp. i will also be comparing Shri Mataji's message with the present SY organization so that we can gauge the huge chasm that exists between both, the cause of the present bankruptcy and assured future demise of the later. (Off the bat i can assure you it is the end of an era. Things will never be the same again.) So here we go. The opening paragraph is a deep, profoundly spiritual statement by Shri Mataji, priceless knowledge that the vast majority of religious masses have no clue. Only those who have felt the vibrations--ruach, wind, cool breeze, the Nafas al Rachman, the breath of the Merciful, Winds of Qiyamah--flowing from their hands and top of heads can understand Her, and its relation to the Holy Scriptures and eschatology. They know for a surety that the Resurrection is taking place, as promised in the Torah, Bible and Qur'an. That is why it is so important to slowly read and comprehend these words: " Only after taking realization you know that there is God and there are vibrations. It is a very big happening all over the world. Today I am saying that's why it's one of the greatest days for you. " Please read them slowly so that you can grasp where we truly stand, and the duty we have to unconditionally discharge to the rest of humanity! What Shri Mataji has said in Her opening lines is embedded in all the Holy Scriptures, facts that their faithful can never deny. For Jews " when applied to God, the word Ruach indicates creative activity (Gen 1:2) and active power (Isa 40:13). The Spirit of God also works in providence (Job 33:4; Psa 104:30), in redemption (Ezek 11:19; Ezek 36:26-27), in upholding and guiding his chosen ones (Neh 9:20; Psa 143:10; Hag 2:5), and in the empowering of the Messiah (Isa 11:2; Isa 42:1; Isa 61:1). In short, as the ruach is to the created nephesh, so the Ruach Elohim is to God Himself, part of God and identified with God. " For Christians " we see the same connection between spirit, breath and wind continued in the New Testament. Although the Greek (unlike the Hebrew) has a different word for wind (anemos), pneuma and its related verb pneo are translated " breath " (2 Thessalonians 2:8; Revelation 11:11), " wind " (John 3:8; Acts 27:40) and " blow " (Luke 12:55). Jesus Christ made this connection Himself. Without the understanding of this background, details of the incident in which Jesus appeared to His followers after His resurrection are puzzling. After Jesus showed them the wounds in His hands and side, verifying that He had indeed been raised from the dead, John records that Jesus said: " 'Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.' And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, 'Receive the Holy Spirit [pneuma]' " (John 20:21-22). Earlier He had told them He would send them a " helper " and a " comforter, " the Holy Spirit. Here He repeats that promise. He also demonstrates the nature of the Spirit that He would send: It would be like a breath, like a wind, something they couldn't see, but they would be influenced by its power. " [1] For Muslims " the source of the universe is the breath of the Merciful, " the 'nafas al rachman'. God is the merciful and, as he manifests himself, he pours forth this " breath of the Merciful " . The breath of the Merciful is the will in the divine nature to express itself, to manifest itself, to become known, that is, to realise the potentialities in its nature. " [2] The word rûh comes from the same root as râhah. It is also related to rîh, which means 'wind', mirwahah, meaning 'fan', and istirwâh which means 'respiration'. The term " Spirit " translates the Hebrew word ruah, which, in its primary sense, means 'breath', 'air', 'wind'. Jesus indeed uses the sensory image of the wind to suggest to Nicodemus the transcendent newness of him who is personally God's breath, the divine Spirit. (Jn 3:3-8) This Divine Wind is also the sure sign of Qiyamah: It is Allah who sends forth the Winds so that they raise up the Clouds, (3881) And We drive them to a Land that is dead, And revive the earth therewith after its death: Even so (will be) the Resurrection! surah 35:9 Fatir (The Originator of Creation) Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, Amana Corporation, 1989. Your own senses confirm the existence of God during the Resurrection. It is indeed a very big happening all over the world. That is why the Qur'an questions and warns those disputing or doubting this Great News to humanity: Concerning what are they disputing? Concerning the Great News. [5889] About which they cannot agree. Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know! surah 78:1-5 Al Naba' (The Great News) " 5889. Great News: usually understood to mean the News or Message of the Resurrection. " Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, Amana Corporation, 1989. For Hindus " Kundalini, the serpent power or mystic fire, is the primordial energy or Sakti that lies dormant or sleeping in the Muladhara Chakra, the centre of the body. It is called the serpentine or annular power on account of serpentine form. It is an electric fiery occult power, the great pristine force which underlies all organic and inorganic matter. Kundalini is the cosmic power in individual bodies. It is not a material force like electricity, magnetism, centripetal or centrifugal force. It is a spiritual potential Sakti or cosmic power. In reality it has no form. The Sthula Buddhi and mind have to follow a particular form in the beginning stage. From this gross form, one can easily, understand the subtle formless Kundalini. Prana, Ahamkara, Buddhi, Indriyas, mind, five gross elements, nerves are all the products of Kundalini. It is the coiled-up, sleeping Divine Sakti that lies dormant in all beings. You have seen in the Muladhara Chakra that there is Svayambhu Linga. The head of the Linga is the space where Sushumna Nadi is attached to the Kanda. This mysterious Kundalini lies face downwards at the mouth of Sushumna Nadi on the head of Svayambhu Linga. It has three and a half coils like a serpent. When it is awakened, it makes a hissing sound like that of a serpent beaten with a stick, and proceeds to the other Chakra through the Brahma Nadi, which is also called Chitra Nadi within Sushumna. Hence Kundalini is also called Bhujangini, serpent power. The three coils represent the three Gunas of Prakriti: Sattva, Rajas and Tamas, and the half represents the Vikritis, the modification of Prakriti. Kundalini is the Goddess of speech and is praised by all. She Herself, when awakened by the Yogin, achieves for him the illumination. It is She who gives Mukti and Jnana for She is Herself that. She is also called Sarasvati, as She is the form of Sabda Brahman. She is the source of all Knowledge and Bliss. She is pure consciousness itself. She is Brahman. She is Prana Sakti, the Supreme Force, the Mother of Prana, Agni, Bindu, and Nada. It is by this Sakti that the world exists. Creation, preservation and dissolution are in Her. Only by her Sakti the world is kept up. It is through Her Sakti on subtle Prana, Nada is produced. While you utter a continuous sound or chant Dirgha Pranava ! (OM), you will distinctly feel that the real vibration starts from the Muladhara Chakra. Through the vibration of this Nada, all the parts of the body function. She maintains the individual soul through the subtle Prana. In every kind of Sadhana the Goddess Kundalini is the object of worship in some form or the other. " [3] For Sikhs " the notion of dasam dvar, written as dasam duar, occurs several times in the Guru Granth Sahib. Sikhism is a strictly monotheistic system belief and it must be stated at the outset that according to Sikh view of the dasam dvar, the tenth door opens into the abode of God, the Creator —dasam duara agam apara param purakh ki ghati (GG, 974), and again —nau ghar thape thapanharai dasvai vasa alakh aparai (GG, 1036).... The nine doors (nau daryaje) and the tenth door are often mentioned together to show their differences. The unstruck sound is heard at the tenth door when it is freed from the shackles of nine doors in the body—nau darvaje dasvai mukta anahad sabadu vajavania (GG, 110). It is believed that the tenth door is closed by a hard diamond-like door (bajar kapat) which is haumai (self-centredness). This hard and strong door is opened and the darkness of haumai is dispelled by the instruction of the Teacher (Guru). In other words, the tenth door is the door of enlightenment and it opens only when the door consisting of haumai is broken. It is taken for granted in Sikhism that the tenth door is the supreme state of the mind. It is certainly not a physical door; it is that state of purified consciousness in which God is visible and all contacts with physical existence are cut off. It is called a being's own house (nij-ghar), that is to say, a being's real nature which is like light (joti sarup). One hears day and night the anahad sabda there when one dwells in one's own house through the tenth door—nau dar thake dhavatu rahae, dasvai nijghari vasa pae (GG, 124). At few places in the Gurbani, the term dasam duar has been used to denote ten organs—five sensory organs and five organs of action, i.e. jnanendriyas and karmendriyas. Says Guru Nanak: " Hukami sanjogi gari das duar, panch vasahi mili joti apar " —in the fortress of the body created in his hukam are ten doors. In this fort five subtle elements of sabda (sound), sparsa (touch), rupa (sight), rasa (taste) and grandha (smell) abide having the infinite light of the Lord in them (GG, 152). The amrit which flows at the tenth door is the essence of Divine name (nam ras) according to the Guru; it is not the physical elixir of immortality conceived by the Siddhas, nor is this amrit to be found by awakening kundalini or by practising khecari mudra; it is to be found through the Teacher's instruction. When the Satguru is encountered then one stops from running (after the nine doors) and obtains the tenth door. Here at this door the immortalizing food (amrit bhojan), the innate sound (sahaj dhuni) is produced—dhavatu thammia satiguri miliai dasva duaru paia; tithai amrit bhojanu sahaj dhuni upajai jitu sabadi jagatu thammi rahaia (GG, 441). " 4 But the sad fact is that the rank and file SYs are forbidden by WCASY members to say any of this at their public programs. Moreover they have so little scriptural knowledge to dare utter the same, thanks to the decades-old SYSSR mindset. Thus both " self-realization " and " vibrations " are explained away in relation to the subtle system, and its mental, social and health benefits. The words " God, Torah, Bible, Quran, Vedas, Guru Granth " , to name a few, are never publicly uttered as Sahaja Yoga is loudly advertised for, and thus attracts, people who are not searching for the Divine. That is why SYs, their leaders and the WCASY can never, and will never, explain to the public Shri Mataji's deep, profoundly spiritual opening lines that: " Only after taking realization you know that there is God and there are vibrations. It is a very big happening all over the world. Today I am saying that's why it's one of the greatest days for you. " Why then continue associating yourself with such a dishonest, disgraced, disintegrating and disempowered organization when you now have Shri Mataji's word and absolute freedom to form/join organizations that conscientiously carry and truthfully explain in detail Her advent and message of the Resurrection to the rest of humanity? a happy future of freedom to all, jagbir 1.

Kundalini Yoga, Sri Swami Sivananda 4. Concepts In Sikhism - Edited by Dr. Surinder Singh Sodhi www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Dasam_Dvar - Tanscript of Guru Puja talk 2008 " Today is a great day for all of us. Because the ... you could feel the existence of God. By saying there is God, that was not sufficient. And to say there is no God also was wrong, very wrong, and people have suffered, who have said like this. Only after taking realization you know that there is God and there are vibrations. It is a very big opening (happening?) all over the world. Today I am saying that's why it's one of the greatest days for you. Many of you have felt the cool breeze on your hands and out of your brain. Some have grown in Sahaja Yoga, some have not. Some are still carrying on with old catches. But now I have to say that quite a lot of you can become gurus. Means teachers. And should you act as teachers. To act as teacher you know Sahaja Yoga, the theory and the practice of it, thoroughly well. And then you can become great guru. It is a very big responsibility, lot of understanding for a guru. You should not have any ego first. You should not have any of your chakras catching. You should be absolutely clear all the time. And then the vibrations should be flowing in both hands. If they are moving in one hand and not in another, you cannot become guru. So you have to be a perfect Sahaja Yogi, then you can be a guru. And so many of you can be, but you have to attain first, `Are you capable of being a guru or not?' With humbleness you will understand, those who think they can be guru, should become gurus, because now I can't travel from places to places. And you have to do my job, `Is to give realization to people " . But you have to be able to give en-mass realization, then only you could be a guru. If you can give en-mass realization, then you could be a guru. You can use my photograph, but the realization should not be from the photograph, but from you, then only you can be a guru. There can be ladies or men both, can become gurus, and spread Sahaja Yoga all over. Then my whole touring business, Canada I have missed, and I would request all of you to go to Canada, because it is a very beautiful place. And there are many beautiful Sahaja Yogis there. You have to do now my work. I won't be able to go all over, but you have to go to other countries, and create new Sahaja Yogis. You can do it. To begin with you can use my photograph, but latter on, you can only put the photograph there, but use your own powers, and give realization. You can do it, and that is how we can spread Sahaja Yoga all over the world. I have done my level best now, but I don't think now I can travel anymore. So I am telling you that you have to take over, and work it out. (Definitely you can?)... I am there with you. And every place you work you put my photograph. But realization you have to give and try to give mass realization, if that doesn't work out then you should know that you are not a guru. If you can give mass realization, then only you are a guru, otherwise you are not. I said you can use my photograph, but you have to give realization to people. This is a sign of a guru. Then you will really know what are different centers, and what are the things missing in people. I have explained very clearly. In the same way you will find those who come for realization, they have some defects and you will find out what chakras they are catching. You know how to clear (create?) those chakras. So you will tell them how to clear. Now you have mastered Sahaja Yoga, so you should know what (tricks) to be done. If you think you have mastered, if you believe that you have mastered, then you can become guru, but first of all you should ascertain and find out for yourself, if you are a guru or not. It is your responsibility now to give realizations to people. And you can give if you have vibrations, as like a guru. Or play (Devis?) also, they are called as gurui, not as guru, but as gurui. But they can be called as guru also. And they can also do this work very well, solving the problems of people is not difficult then. Once they get realization their problems will be solved. This is a big power you have got. You all should use. First of all you can use a group, if you want. And afterward you should do it individually. Can you imagine all of you, if you become gurus, how many Sahaja Yogis we will have all over the world. Whatever you teach, you must practice. The person who drinks cannot become a guru. A person who flirts and has a licentious life cannot become a guru. So first examine yourself, `Are you clean or not?' If there are any possessed people who try to become guru, they cannot. Honestly you should see on the photograph if you are possessed, then you cannot be guru. So now to become a guru is first to criticize yourself, to find out yourself only, and then you can become a guru. I don't want to tell anybody individually. But you all can find out. Say 4-5 people can join together, and they can find out from each other, if they are all right or not. If there is missing, if they are catching. But if they say that you are all right then you can become gurus, and you can teach Sahaja Yoga. This is your responsibility. This is how Sahaja Yoga will grow, otherwise after I retire or I don't go anywhere then Sahaja Yoga will go into waste. So it is for you to carry the torch, the light. It is your responsibility now. You have got your realization. I was born with the responsibility. I was born with all understanding. And now you are also understand yourself, do not condemn yourself as long as you start your own realization, but be careful don't become egoistical. You have to be very humble, very humble with everyone. And work it out because if they are not realized souls, you shouldn't condemn them, but tell them, very patiently and sweetly, that you are not all right. Tell them how to meditate, how to improve, it is now a very big responsibility. Actually I have done this work and you can do this work also. So you all have to become a guru. This is the day of guru (purnima). And I bless you that you all can become gurus. Whatever you have got now, " Don't waste it, don't throw it away, but use it for the betterment of people'. If you want to (meeting), add 4-5 people together, then you should separate, you have to give time to this. You have got your realization, but you have to give realization, otherwise your state is not all right, it is not normal. So today I want to tell you, what are the qualities we need for a guru. First of all he should be a detached person. That doesn't mean you give up your family or anything. But you should have a detached attitude. That anybody from your family does wrong, you should go away from them, (sort it out). Secondly, through your realization you can see you can spread happiness, and remove their problems. You have seen whatever I have done you can do it. You have got power to do it, but no hypocrisy. No hypocrisy, otherwise you will spoil the name of Sahaja Yoga. So if you are sure of yourself, then really you should become guru, and carry the work of Sahaja Yoga. I think I gave you all my blessings, and all my support, that now you take over and become guru. You can also have all the pujas, and then you can use photograph. You have seen how one has to work it out. And someone has ..?.. or some chakras are catching, then you should tell that person how to correct it. On the photograph it is the best, and very humbly you should tell them what is to be done. And you can say or ... So now I am no more ..?.. businesses ... , I have done my best, and I think I won't be able to do this again. It is not my old age, but I want to give you a complete freedom to spread Sahaja Yoga. You have got it free, and you also have to give it to people free, not to charge them. Or in the pujas they (take your name), be careful that don't put yourself on the puja, till you are confirmed and you are sure that you have created at least hundred Sahaja Yogis, good Sahaja Yogis. Then they can do your puja also. But the best thing is to wait and see. You don't get into puja business, till you are, you have done a thousand people each, then you have the right to have a puja. But you could have a puja with my photograph till you completely all right. Now how confident is the main thing. Do not condemn yourself. You are all realized souls, but those who can think they can become guru, (can become and try). You have to have patience with the seekers. You can't be angry or hot tempered. Unless until they try to trouble you. You should not lose yourself (temp). You should be quiet. Most of the gurus are very hot-tempered ..?.. that is why they were very busy with their temper, and they couldn't focus ..?.. realization. So I have to warn you `control your temper'. Watch yourself if you get angry, then you cannot become a guru. You have to be a loving person, very loving and understanding. Then you have to be humble, not abuse people, not to shout at people. If they misbehave you can ask them to go out. But don't shout. If you think someone is misbehaving, you can ask that person to get out. But you need not shout and get angry with that person. So it is a very big responsibility now. You have got your realization. So 4-5 of you join to form a Sahaja Yoga group giving realization to people... Of course my photograph will be there. But still you must try, try to understand that now what is your responsibility. If the position is given, you have to always carry on for the responsibility of that position. In the same way if you become a guru, you have a certain amount of responsibility, that your own behavior should be very good to begin with. In the beginning you cannot tell them don't go to church, or don't do this, don't do that. You give them realization and then you can talk to them. In the beginning you shouldn't tell them, or they will just shun you. Accept them as they are. In the beginning you should not ask for (pure) people if possible. You can use my photograph to begin with. But don't cure them. They can all, if you are confident, then 4-5 together should treat that person. Curing people is not very easy and you may catch. So before acting on anyone you must take a bhandhan. Bhandhan is very good if you, even when you are going out if you take a bhandhan. You should also make a very good speech, if possible. Now you know so many things and you can talk to them. It is a very big responsibility. Now I have been working from the year 1970. And today so many years I have worked so hard, but I can't now do it, I have to go back and take some (rest help). Everybody has said. And you are all scientists. But you can tell about me, if it is necessary. But use my photograph. Every time you have a meeting use my photograph. Those who think they can be leaders, and as gurus. They should first see their own vibration. Meditate on my photograph and find out. You have to absolutely honest that you are one hundred percent all right and there is no catch, and then you can become a guru. You have to do it. First you may get two people then three people, I started with five. You can imagine how one can go. Try first of all two, three, five and more. You can also advertise afterward, if you have given realization to people, say about, say I have given realization to ten people you can start your own organization, or whatever you may call it, and can work it out. Now you have the power, you have the right, but you must have temperament also. In the beginning you have to be very patient and kind, very kind. Then gradually you will find that you can cure people. You can use my photograph for curing to begin with, and later on you can see you can cure. First of all on vibrations you (face) what chakras are catching, which are good and which are bad. And then you should correct them. If there is something wrong you must correct it and then become guru. It is not just accepting that I am going to become guru. But you have to be very, very authority on yourself. You have to judge yourself. First of all you should find out, `Can you become guru? And then you can tell me your reports. I'd be very happy to know how many you have got now'. And that is how Sahaja Yoga will spread, no doubt. It cannot remain as (it is state) because I am withdrawing, but because now you are now so many Sahaja Yogis, which will grow and work out. But I think now I can't travel, and I am going back. I won't be able to come back again, not possible. So you better work it out for yourself. You must write to me if you have ..(difficulties?).. If someone is catching or something or if you have problems. Now I don't think any newspaper will criticize you. They have something for me, but not for you. All of you promise me that you will try to become gurus. I did not take any money from you, nothing from you. I just want that you should spread Sahaja Yoga. In the beginning, you are in the pujas, don't take any presents or money. You can only take a little money from them, if you have need to have a hall, or a big place, but that will be much later. First of all try with few people. It will grow very well. Now another thing is puja you should not allow them to do to you, to begin with, till you have done three hundred Sahaja Yogis, you can't ask them to do you puja. You can use my photograph for the puja to begin with. But be very careful, because you have powers now, and it might pamper your ego, when you start thinking you are great, (no). You have to save the world. All my work is that, and I would ask you to write to me in India if there is any (difficulty?). Also write to me how you are spreading Sahaja Yoga, what is happening I would like to know. But I think you must understand that I must retire now, I can't travel. If you have any questions ask me? Those who are confident that they can become gurus raise your hand? Oh so many --- only one hand not two. If anybody is taking money, you should tell him not to do it. Also ..(guides to him?), you cannot take money to begin with, but when you have about three thousand people, you can celebrate all the worshipping days, and worship, but you must make at least three thousand disciples, then you can ask for a puja. There are some people who cannot become guru, who are catching, and they have problems. If you have problems don't become a guru otherwise it will affect you, but if you think you are clear and opened out then you can become gurus. Is there any question? I am opening a center for international Sahaja Yoga, and when you have done three hundred Sahaja Yogis, you can ask them to do puja and take money. Before that if you get any money, you can send it to that center. There would be ..?.. in that center and I will declare it. If you have any questions ask me now? First three hundred people you don't take any money, except for the hall, or except for other expenses. But you don't take any money for yourself. Now can you raise your hand ... who would like to be a guru. May God bless you. " Shri Mataji Guru Puja talk 2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
