Information is taken from SWAN and may be subjected to changes.

Mahasamadhi Day will be on 22-23 February 2012 at Delhi, India.  See details here.

As you can see above, highlighted is Shri Buddha Puja, which will be held in Malaysia.  We will be organising it together with the South East Asian countries, i.e Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong, China.

This will be the first time ever an International Puja to be held in Malaysia.  It will be pretty exciting.  It will be held in the north of Malaysia, in the Penang state.  Penang is famous for its delicious food, my favourites are Asam Laksa and Cendol.  It's about 4 hours drive from Kuala Lumpur.  However, you can choose to fly straight into Penang International Airport (depending on the airline).  For Air Asia, they have yet to cater flights from Australia and China direct to Penang.  Other than that, Singapore, Indonesia and Hong Kong are OK.

Book your flight early with Air Asia (as they have the cheapest flights so far).  Check out their website and see which country flies direct to Malaysia via Air Asia.  You can also try other airlines.

A little bit about Penang.  It is a small island in the north of Malaysia.  You can drive into the island via the expressway or take the ferry or fly in.  Weather in Malaysia is humid all year round and depending on the monsoon season, we have rain and shine throughout.  Penang is surrounded by the sea, therefore footsoaking by the seaside will definitely be on the list.

I will post more details as and when I get more information about this puja.  Up to now, all we know is that the date and place is fixed.  Next will probably be about hotel accommodation.  Till then.

Matka pot treatment - Night 1

Image
I started the matka pot treatment last night.  Been feeling a lot of left agnya catch lately, so thought that it is high time to do a matka pot treatment.  Here is what we need: 7 limes (I heard in Belgium, they used 7 lemons, so the pot that they used is so big and they have a hard time trying to dispose the pot after the 7 nights).  Cut the top of the limes to expose a bit of the flesh. 7 chillies.  Remove the top of the chillies (I don't know what you call, stem or stalk).  I used small chillies so that they can fit into the matka pot. 1 matka pot (here in Malaysia we used claypot that they cooked claypot rice, glazed inside so that it will not leak) Vibrated water So, you put everything into the pot and vibrate in front of Shri Mataji's photo.  Pray that the matka pot will absorb all the catches and negativities.  Then place it on the left side of the bed.  I put it under the bed but you can also put it on a side table on your left side.  Just be carefu

Information for pregnant Sahaja Yoginis

I have decided to gather all information for pregnant Sahaja Yoginis here.  This is probably not conclusive, so please feel free to add on if you have anymore inputs.  To read more about it, please go to amruta.org.   I guess the experience varies from individual to individual.  But I was very sensitive to vibrations and negativity when I was in my first trimester.  So much so that sometimes I have to do 2-3 times footsoak in a row in order to feel better.  But it gets better in the second trimester. As for havan, I was told that pregnant ladies can attend havan but have to sit far from the fire and don't sit too long.  This was advice by the Vashi doctors.  But my own experience, in which I attended one havan, I didn't feel good after that.  It's just my personal feelings about it as I was ultra-sensitive.  But I read some yoginis wrote that pregnant ladies should not attend havan altogether.  So, it really depends.  I guess you could always check vibrations to find

Sahaja Yoga has cured me - Part 1

Image
I was reading back my old posts and I realised that I have not posted even once on how Sahaja Yoga has helped me although I keep saying that it has.  How can I forget the miracles that it has brought me and has a big effect on my life. Between 2004-2006 (I forgot exactly which year it happened), one night after my part-time class, I came back late.  I had skipped dinner as I was late for class.  So after class, I just stopped at McD and bought myself some french fries.  I was not hungry anymore.  So I came back home and just drank a glass of cold milk.  I went to sleep after the meal. The next day as usual I went to work.  My stomach was already not feeling so well.  I have lost appetite and again didn't eat proper breakfast and lunch.   I was already tasting sourness in my mouth but I just ignored it.  Then I was going to meet a friend for dinner.  While driving to her place, I drank a lot of water.  That was what triggered the beginning of my nightmare (short nightmare).
