Respecting Shri Mataji


Before I go into the main topic, I just want to sing this : "One day I woke up, the skies were blueeee...." The haze is getting worse. I managed to sing that song on Saturday morning, when I woke up and the skies were clearly blue. So beautiful. Haven't seen that kind of sky for a week now. And today, it's worse. The sun is orange in colour. Please collectively bandhan that the haze will be cleared.

When I was very new in Sahaja Yoga, say only about 6 months old, I didn't know the protocols on how to respect Shri Mataji's photo, not only photo that are framed, but also photos in calendar, souveniors and so on.

I was given a calendar with Shri Mataji's photo for every month and I pinned the string attached to the calendar on my styrofoam noticeboard in my room. My bed is position in such a way that my legs will be facing the noticeboard when I sleep at night. I didn't know that my legs were not suppose to face Shri Mataji's photo in anyway.

Anyway, I slept in that position for at least a month, and then something happened. The string attached to the calendar broke and the calendar fell on the floor. I woke up one morning and I found it on the floor and blurly put it up on the noticeboard again. This time I pinned the paper part of it on the notice board, 2 pins, one on each side.

Then after a few days, another thing happened. This time, don't know exactly how, the double-sided tape attached to half of my noticeboard didn't stick and my noticeboard was re-positioned in such a way that Shri Mataji's photo is not facing my feet directly. For your information, the noticeboard was pasted on the wall with double-sided tape used in the manufacturing industry for at least 1 year and it has never fell or moved. I was still not sure why it has happened, and went and bought super double-sided tape and pasted the noticeboard back to its position. I was very naive and blur.

The next day, the super double-sided tape gave way and the whole noticeboard fell on the floor, with a loud thud. I still didn't know what has happened, but this time I gave up and left the noticeboard on the floor. I took the calendar and pinned it to my shelf which was not facing my feet directly.

A few weeks later, I found out that it was against protocol to face our feet towards Shri Mataji, whether in present or just Her photos. Then I began to understand that something has happened, the ganas or something, was trying to remove Shri Mataji's photo away from my feet. Then I realised what I big thing I have done. I pulled my ears and asked for forgiveness, for not knowing that it was wrong.

From then onwards, this is the main thing I looked out for. If I see anyone, whether Sahaji or not, accidentally positioned their feet towards Shri Mataji's photo, I will correct them.

Matka pot treatment - Night 1

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 ...

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 ...

Sahaja Yogis Do's and Don'ts

The other day, while browsing through Amruta.org, I'd found this gem.  Sharing with you all.   Disclaimer:  As I only took out parts of the talk, please do read the entire text to get the full message and understanding or better still, listen or watch the video. Advice by Shri Mataji at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan (Question and Answers). Bombay (India), 22 March 1977 1. No smoking and drinking First and foremost things that a Sahaja Yogi cannot smoke or drink. One absolutely one hundred percent sure, because if you drink or smoke you will find after some time you either you’ll lose your vibrations or you’ll start vomiting. You cannot smoke. If you smoke your Vishudhdhi will be caught. If you drink your Nabhi chakra will be caught and whenever you’ll place your hand towards the photograph all the Nabhi chakra will be burning absolutely. So you’ll say, “What is this happening?” And you’ll give up. You sort of, many people have done it without any difficulty. They ...
