Sahaja Yoga Marriages

What do I know about marriages?  I have only been married for 1 year and 9 months.  I don't have enough experience to talk about it.  But I do feel, before anyone decides to apply for Sahaj marriage, please read up about it.  Understand the meaning of it, the values of it and the sanctitty of a Sahaj marriage.  

A marriage is sacred.  So far, my married life has been quite an interesting one.  Everyday, there is something  new.  If you asked me, yes, I have married my soul mate.  But I only found out about it much later, through this journey.  Marriage is a journey of discovery.  And it takes two to make it work.  And in our case, it takes two of us to meditate together twice daily to make it work.



Here is a list of audio talks by Shri Mataji about marriages:

1. Marriage & Collectivity - 5 Dec 1980
2. Establishing the Marriage - 9 Aug 1981
3. Marriage is Meant to Give You Joy - 29 Nov 1981
4. Talk to ladies about marriage -  12 Feb 1984
5. Talk and Marriage Advices to Women - 1 Jan 1990
6. Marriage Ceremony & Talk - 28 Dec 1993
7. Talk to Sahaja Yogis Marriage & Children - 7 Apr 1994
8. Marriages - Jul 1996
9. Marriages, Mahalakshmi Principle - 6 Sept 1998
10. Talks to Grooms & Brides - 23 Mar 2000

There are more too but not in my collection.

You can find many speeches on marriages in Amruta.  Here are some excerpts from Shri Mataji's speeches:

"If you realize the importance of auspiciousness in married life – in Sahaja Yoga, you would have respect for that married life, praise for that married life – in relation to Sahaja Yoga, of course, no doubt." - Excerpts from Establishing the Marriage, Chelsham Ashram, 1981

"Firstly, marriage always gives you a balance of understanding, if you have proper ideas about marriage. If you have funny ideas, and if you are just marrying for fun’s sake, and you do not understand the value of marriage, then it is just a joke, it’s not a marriage. But in Sahaja Yoga you really understand the value of marriage first of all, what it means." - Excerpts from Shri Gruha Lakshmi Puja, Sydney 1981

"One must try to understand marriage, that it is for your enjoyment. If you cannot have your enjoyment, you cannot enjoy the marriage, then it is of no use. " - Excerpts from Shri Gruha Lakshmi Puja, Sydney 1981

"What is the need to have a marriage? After all, these days people are living without marriage. But marriage means the sanctity of marriage. Sanctity of your physical, mental and emotional integration." - Excerpts from Shri Ganesha Puja 2000

"Marriage is not only for your happiness but for the happiness of all the rest of the people." - Excerpts from Talk of Marriage and Nirvikalpa, Kolhapur 1987

"So the marriage is the best way to give happiness to others, by having sweet children, having a good family, having sensible life, gives such a joy to all the collectivity." - Exceprts from Informal Talk to Yogis in Perth, 1990.

"Marriage is an auspicious occasion, is the most auspicious occasion in the life of human beings. It is auspicious, that’s why it’s joy giving and the vibrations flow with that auspiciousness all over the world. " - Excerpts from Marriage is Joy Giving, London 1981

"Marriage is meant to give joy, is meant to give cheerfulness, happiness and all the blissful things that we can think of achieving through our combination with two human beings." - Excerpts from Marriage is Joy Giving, London 1981

And my favourite quote is this:

"You have to bring glory to the system of marriages because it is the system established by God Almighty, is not established by human beings, is a wrong idea. It is established by God Almighty to have an auspicious occasion where such an auspicious thing is taken, the sacredness of this is to be maintained and has to be done in such a way it is a very decent relationship. All the culture, all the beauty of gracious living flows through happy married life. Not vulgar, not showing, not cheap, but a dignified, enjoyable, cheerful, welcoming, giving companionship." - Excerpts from Marriage is Joy Giving, London 1981

Have a great married life, a life that is filled with joy and love!!!

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).
