We are Sahaja Yogis and we understand the balance. Of course I always say that Westerners for example, maybe Australians also, should take more to carbohydrates because they eat lot of meat, so they can take to carbohydrates, but that doesn’t mean vegetarianism by any chance. I mean, to compensate. And in India I always say they must take to more meats, it will do them good. But then by no means I say that you just eat meat and nothing else. But a balance has to be found out, and once you strike it then you’ll be surprised that you’ll feel so relaxed, so much better, so much enlightened and the vibrations will flow much better than normally.

Bhavasagara
This place is called as Bhavasagara. It is the ocean of illusion in which we live. And we are seekers….
If we are in the ocean, our ship should be seaworthy. Then any kind of illusion is not going to deter us if we are seaworthy. But seaworthy means we must know if there is a fog, how to move in right direction.
We should know how to overcome all the hazards of all kinds of storms and all the knowledge should be built-in within us. And that built-in knowledge is this dharma. It is a religion within you - not without, but within you.
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, 1983

Loving Feelings
"Such is the nature of certain people. Many a time I have observed that, before Myself, some of you try to push others, or frown upon them with anger, etc. When someone speaks harshly to little children, then I feel a stab on my heart. Tell me, in Sahaja Yoga, should not there be exhibition of loving feelings? People who are offspring of the same Mother very often fail to realise that they are the children of their Mother in reality. This fact is well known to you. Then why should you have the feeling that someone else is superior or inferior to you?"

Attention
Truth, Attention, and Joy – all become one – Then the growth is much faster
I don't know how many speeches I've given now, I lost count. This is only just to make your attention little steady, then the Kundalini rises. Without that happening your attention cannot go inside. Once the happening takes place your attention is pulled in. The whole attention goes inside and it is carried and is brought to this point where it breaks. This is the seat of your Spirit, while the seed resides in the heart and you are blessed with your Self-Realization. Now, the growth has to come, that you have to move your awareness towards the Spirit and when that happens, that your Spirit dominates your awareness, that your awareness becomes the Spirit, then Sat, Chit, Anand. Sat is the essence of your awareness, is the truth; through your awareness you know the truth. Chit is the attention and Anand is the Spirit. The essence of the Spirit is joy. All these things become one. That has to happen. Then the growth is much faster. When it is half way round, the growth is less. And the growth is to be felt in your collectivity. Not in how you organize some things and all that, no, in collectivity, how you feel about the whole world, how you are connected about the whole world. What you are doing about it, can you work it out for them? Where is your attention, again?

A yoga with healthy benefits and proven so
PRACTITIONERS of Sahaja Yoga can enjoy better health and this is not a claim but scientifically proven.
The meditation provides the experience of “mental silence” and during this state of mind, the brain sends signals which facilitate healing of the body, said Dr Ramesh Manocha, a leading meditation research expert from the University of New South Wales in Sydney.
Mental silence: Participants trying a meditation technique during the seminar conducted by Dr Ramesh at Komtar.
Dr Ramesh said it had been scientifically proven that practitioners of this form of yoga have less mental and physical illness.
He said Sahaja Yoga offers a unique and simple method of meditation by awakening the inner most divine energy within oneself called “Kundalini”.
“Just do the meditation for 10 minutes each time upon waking up in the morning and before going to bed.
“Research has shown that most people sleep better and experience a general sense of well-being after the first week,” he said after his talk at the seminar on ‘Effects of Meditation On Brain, Mind and Health’ organised by Sahaja Yoga at Komtar in Penang recently.
Dr Ramesh said he initiated the Meditation Research Programme with the aim of scientifically evaluating the effects of meditation on health, physique and behaviour.
“The research conducted in universities in Australia and India showed that meditation not only eliminates stress and negative thinking patterns, it also increases the vitality and well-being of the practitioners,” he said.
Dr Ramesh said studies had proven that meditation was effective in reducing stress, managing asthma, reducing menopausal symptoms, improving health and recovery in mental illness as well as other chronic illnesses. Sahaja Yoga, which was founded by Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in 1970, has followers all over the world.
After the seminar, participants took part in a workshop where they were introduced to meditation techniques.
“If possible, attend a collective meditation programme where one can seek advice from experienced Sahaja Yoga practitioners. The main objective is to experience the state of mental silence,” Dr Ramesh told the participants.
Sahaja Yoga conducts weekly free classes at its centre at 247-G, Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah (opposite Sungai Nibong police station), Penang. The new class started on April 16 from 8pm to 9.30pm.

Heart that gives security
In small, small things we destroy our security … The complete security within yourself is that you are the Self and these things and these things are not important. If you are a secured man, your children will also find that out, that their security lies in finding their own security. They themselves will say, “Now don’t try to help us, to spoil us. Do not give us things by which we feel more insecure.” And such children will be really brave children like Shivaji was. His mother gave him all the protection, no doubt, but she made a Shivaji out of him…Feel your own security and then the joy of that security will take you to your depth.
Why are you insecure in life? Money? The person who has got, who has got now the blessings of the Divine, what more does he want? Because your God is Almighty, nobody’s might is greater than that of your Father. Nobody can touch you on any point. But your faith is lacking and that’s why you should start with your faith in yourself. Make the faith sit in your Heart chakra and that faith is going to give you the joy of security. Faith is the answer for all the insecurities of the world… The essence of the Heart chakra is to feel your own security, your own Self. Feel your own security within yourself. Only the realised can feel their security because they know they have their atma, their spirit.
