Know Thyself – A Journey of Self-Discovery Through Meditation
Shri Mataji talks about her childhood and her vision as a child:
“And one day I had written in childhood a poem, I remember – I remember that very clearly, long time back, that I should be a dust particle. So that I will permeate into people. Which is a very big thing β to become a dust particle of that kind, that whatever you touch, you see, that becomes enlivened, whatever you just feel, that has fragrance. It is such a great thing to be like that. And that was my desire, and it has been achieved.”
I want to be like a dust particle
which moves with the wind
It goes everywhere
Can go, sit on the head of a king
or can go and fall at the feet of someone
And it can go and sit on a little flower
and it can go and sit everywhere
But I want to be a particle of dust
that is fragrant
that is nourishing
that is enlightening
Shri Mataji

You donβt love for money, you donβt love for some advantage, for some power, or for some gain, but you love for love; because pure love is so joy-giving.
Shri Mataji, 2001-0708
“Really if you love, then you just love. You love everyone. You may say, ‘Mother, how can you love a crook?’
You need not go his way, you need not be with him, need not have anything to do with it. But if you have pure love, then he can change, she can change.
If they do not, then you donβt bother. Those who come into the ocean of love, those who are really pure, loving, people, they are your friends. They are the ones who are needed on this earth. Not the people who are crooks, who cheat you, who try to dominate you β they are not the ones needed.
What we need are the people who are completely drenched into the purity of love.”
Shri Mataji, 2001-0708

“All over the world, at four-thirty in the morning all the vibrations, the best time, flow in the purest form. Thatβs why all the seers, get up very early in the morning, have their baths and sit down for meditation.”
Shri Mataji, 1981-1027
“Once you start getting deeper into your being, youβll be amazed that you can develop such capacities that youβll be amazed at yourself. Of course there are blessings, there are miracles, but think of your own capacities. What are your capacities?”
Shri Mataji, 1991-0406

Why not be like Martin Luther King? Why not do it? Why not create people of that kind? To speak of something great. Bring the attention of people to something higher. To raise their neck upwards. To see, to see with their head higher than the others are seeing. See something great in us.
Shri Mataji, 1990-0818

“It is not sufficient to be intellectually dedicated towards a collective cause, but more importantly, to have an enlightened vision to achieve it in a balanced way. History has produced many such visionaries such as Mahatma Gandhi, Ataturk Kamal Pasha, Garibaldi, President Sadat, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, George Washington, Nelson Mandela and others. So much was done by them because they had that love. They had nothing else but this love which they could not contain within themselves, so they tried to spread it. Love begets love, and that is how it blooms into collective love.“
Shri Mataji

In India this day is celebrated as Makar Sankranti.
βMakar Sankranti indicates that from this day the Sun will get warmer and warmer. The heat of the Sun is beneficial for mankind. All our movements depend on this heat. But the impact of the heat could also excite Anger in us. That is the reason that on this day we eat Jaggery (Gud) so that we become soft spoken. Because of the warmth of the Sun all vegetations and wealth grows on the earth. Fruits and vegetables are offered to the Goddess on this day to invoke Her blessings. By the blessings of the Adi Shakti the Earth element gets calmed down and human being thrives. The festival of Sankranti has cultural significance too. It is celebrated all over the country with joy and gaiety. It is celebrated in some other countries also but it has special significance in India.βΒ β This is what is todayβs day – is a great day for us to change, becauseΒ the Sun has changed its mood now. Sun is coming this side. So let usΒ welcome the Sun, coming to the North now, this way. And forΒ Australians to say that though the Sun has gone,Β let us establish theΒ Sun, the domain of Sun, within ourselves.
Though in India the heat is too much, still people are waiting for this time to come in and they celebrateΒ it with such a warm heart. At this time it is said that they give you this sesame seed and the sugar to eat,Β but now you must speak in a sweet manner.
Shri Mataji, 1987-0114

Warmth of the Sun represents the Warmth of Godβs Love.Β
This is the reason why we celebrate thisΒ festival giving you some sort of a sweet made out of sesame seeds. Sesame seeds are given because theyΒ are also heat-giving and now as we are coming from the cold, we come to the hot season in a way, hotterΒ season, so to prepare you with that warmth of the Sun these special things are made out of the seed ofΒ sesame to represent the oncoming warmth and the warmth of the Sun. – Shri Mataji, 1987-0114

“When the Sun comes onΒ this Earth back, then all the creativity of the Mother Earth startsΒ acting and She creates such beautiful things like flowers, such niceΒ things, nourishing things like fruits and fulfilling things likeΒ fruits. She makes our eyes cool down with the greenery She has andΒ the way She blesses us..InΒ the same way, now that the Sun of Sahaja Yoga has risen and is comingΒ to the zenith and it has definitely shown you the result on the EarthΒ principle that is yourΒ MooladharaΒ and the Creative Power of thatΒ Mooladhara which is theΒ Kundalini, has been rising and rising andΒ rising and opening your being and showing the results in your lives which has made your lives very beautiful, which has made your lifeΒ veryΒ JoyousΒ and veryΒ Happy.β

Have you ever wondered why everything related to Life seems to move in a spiral way? It seems like a cosmic dance of which we are a part of, spinning and moving along from atoms to galaxies and our human awareness, too.
“Every new year comes, because we have to take to something that is new. It has been so arranged that the sun has to move for 365 days and again a new year has to come. Actually the whole solar system is moving in a spiral way. So, there is definitely a higher, higher state of this solar system. Every year it is rising higher in a spiral way. So it is not only that it is because 365 days have passed, but because it has moved a step forward higher than what it was.
Now we can see, that in awareness, human beings have definitely risen much higher than what they were, say, about 2000 years back.”
Shri Mataji, 1983
Also our Kundalini rises along our spine in a spiral way! And with her rising she gives us a higher awareness and a deeper connection to ourselves and the Divine.
Discover the gentle calmness and peace that comes with the Awakening of your Kundalini. The soothing connection with your Inner Being. The cooling breeze over the head. Or the warmth that can be felt when this beautiful sacred Energy starts ever so softly to remove all that in your Inner System that troubles you and gives you stress.
Follow the guided meditation by Shri Mataji and experience that which was always a part of you but not yet conscious!

Getting up for the 5 am morning meditation every day in the past week has brought an amazing change!!! All thanks to my meditation buddy and best friend who asked if I would like to meditate together every morning!!
All the motivation was there but somehow the mornings came and went and I could not get myself out of bed.
That changed when my friend waited online to meditate together. I had no choice anymore!! π And I feel so happy about it!!! Because after only one week I feel a tremendous change!!!
All those who practice Sahaja Yoga Meditation have experienced the benefits of early morning meditations.
π Starting from 4 am on there are very special rays or vibrations that act only at that time of the day. There is no other time of the day that is that powerful, healing and nourishing !!! And wow, can I feel the difference!!!
π Interestingly, although the sleep time seems short I am full of energy throughout the day!! Yeahhhh!!! A proven method to feel energized and dynamic!!! No additional cups of coffee needed anymore!!! πͺ
π My vibratory awareness has reached a new level – it is much sharper and clear-cut! Vibratory awareness allows you to feel the state of your own subtle system, to understand what and why there is a problem, to find out how to clear it, and on top of it you can feel all of it for other people, too! Amazing?? Totally!!!!!
π It is soooo much easier to go into a state of inner silence where the mind is calm and peaceful and all worries and anxieties dissolve. Turning off the inner chatter-box whenever I want – it has been a long time!!! So, morning meditation it is!!! π
It is of course not the first time I have experienced the difference! But the problem is that we know what is good for us but sometimes we do not do what we should… sounds familiar?
Partner up with someone was THE solution for me – it is also so much more fun!!! And no escape possible π… or wanted…
