Sahaja Yoga is a unique
method of meditation introduced since 1970 by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, by
which Self Realization is achieved effortlessly. It opens the doors to a
new dimension of awareness whose tangible benefits are experienced daily by
tens of thousands of practitioners all over the world.
When I came to Sahaja Yoga some 19 years ago, all I
was interested in was a career and material success. That was when I
discovered Sahaja Yoga and discovered a wonderful world around me. Upon
discovering my Self through the experience of Self Realization, I started to notice the beautiful people
around me. SY helped increase my sensitivity to other people whom I found
to be really wonderful. It did not matter that they spoke a different
language, or their skin complexion was different from mine, that they ate
different food, dressed differently or were from different religious
backgrounds. Its a funny thing but the greater the difference between
us, the more dear they were, the more there was to discover in them! The
more detached I became from material pursuits, the more my financial
situation improved.
And then, I started to
discover how the international power blocs were slowly coming down in the
wake of the spread of SY to more than 86 countries. It seemed that slowly
and irresistibly, winds of change were sweeping across the world. In August
of 1989 Shri Mataji was invited to a conference on Alternative Medicine in
the U.S.S.R., where She was given only a few minutes to talk. There were
delegates from all the Eastern Bloc countries, who all got their
realization. One month later it started one after another, all the
communist regimes came tumbling down, while the Russian government itself
changed a year later. It was obvious that the process of self realization of a few individuals had triggered a massive movement. This was repeated about half a year later in Nepal, when barely a week after a public program with Shri Mataji, the monarchical regime had to relegate the reins of power to the parliament.
It is exciting to be
participating in some of the most momentous times of our history, when the world is indeed becoming a truly global village. It seems that people are becoming softer, more humane and tolerant of each other. I have found in Sahaja Yoga some of the best human beings, and am truly indebted to it for having helped me discover this beauty in my fellow men and thus in me. Sahaja Yoga is the most caring, nurturing, curing, inspiring and loving force humanity has ever known it is a gift to humanity, and is entirely the work of one person Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi The World Saviour, or at the
very least, A Living Saint of our times.
