My personal views on Sahaj marriage

I was asked to do a session on Sahaj marriage at the recent Yuva Shakti Camp.  I didn't realise I had so much fun doing it until after the session.  


I did a slideshow presentation on the wedding ceremony and added experiences from other couples, both Sahaj married and non-Sahaj married. 

Before the session, I prayed to Shri Mataji to please let me speak of the things She wants me to speak about.

To be honest, I don't think I am qualify to talk about Sahaj marriage, after being married for just over 2 years and started living together for 1 year only.  But when I started the slideshow, the words just came out from my mouth, and Shri Mataji was guiding me throughout.  I wasn't even feeling nervous and they all enjoyed the session, eventhough there was a lot of reading to do.

Despite the huge age difference, from 16-29 years old, I am glad all of them were interested about this and I am glad to be Shri Mataji's instrument to disseminate this information on Sahaj marriage to the yuvas.  It gives me lots of joy just doing it.  I don't mind doing it again, probably now can aim higher, at the age group of yogis and yoginis who actually want to do Sahaj marriage.

To me Sahaj marriage is a journey of self discovery.  It does help us to ascent.  In fact, we complement each other, he being the more left sided one and me the opposite.  It is not an easy journey but the blessings are abundant.

In Shri Mataji's speech at Shri Devi Puja, Sydney, 10 March 1985, She said, "Sahaja Yoga is our aim, is our dharma, is our being. That is the main thing. All the rest of the things come later. Supposing then, you find your wife or your husband are getting materialistic, better to depart. Tell them, “No, we cannot.” See, for Me this is important. Marriage was just a means to an end. But the end is different. So we can give up this means, we’ll have another means. And this is to be understood in its true color. If your marriage doesn't give you progress in your spiritual life, better to give it up. And that’s what I have been telling everyone about it, how to get over your emotional problem."

We are in Sahaja Yoga because we were seeking.  We are still seeking for spiritual ascent.  Marriage doesn't guarantee spiritual ascent but it is definitely one of the vehicles to get us there.  So, it doesn't mean that those people who are single or divorced or widowed will not be able to achieve spiritual ascent.  You can achieve it in other ways.  I am not really sure how subtly that works.

Marriage improves many areas of our lives.  It helped us to settled.  It helped us to balance.  We helped each other to balance ourselves.  We learned to love each other, embraced each other's strengths and accepted each other's weaknesses.  Marriage in many ways, make us more mature which is significant in this journey to ascent.

I married in Sahaj because I wanted a 'life partner in crime' in this continuous journey of ascent.  Because I am so into Sahaj, and not interested in others, so I believe that only a Sahaja Yogi can accommodate to that.
But I do believe that it's your personal choice, of whom you want to choose as your life partner.  It depends on what you want in life.  I wanted a soul mate, a spiritual partner and Sahaja Yogi to spend the rest of my life with.

My journey has just begun.  We just made it through our foundation year, everyday discovering more about ourselves and life.  May 2014 brings more love and peace and joy into our live.

Jai Shri Mataji!

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).
