Jai Jai Jai Shri Mataji

First time I used Skype and was talking to a sister in China.  She helped me solve some accounting issues and we chatted.  Although my Chinese and her English is limited, we manage to communicate and chatted for over an hour.  It was nice to hear her voice again.  Skype is so clear, easy to use and free of charge.  I am just loving it. Tenglin, I know you are reading this.  Thank you very much for helping me.  Shri Mataji told me to communicate with you to solve this issue and now it's done. Talking to her makes me see that there are people who are very surrendered to the Divine.  And I am just sitting around and waiting for miracles to happen.   Sometimes I blame my hormones, sometimes my genes.  But Shri Mataji said that once our Kundalini is awakened, we cannot blame our genes anymore because now it has changed. I have so many people around me who cares, who loves me, who takes good care of me and here am I sayin...

A few days ago, I was sick and was feeling sad and down.  That night when I went to bed I just could not sleep.  There were thoughts racing in my head, I was having a massive headache on both agnyas and I was tossing and turning on my bed.  I was also feeling scared, worried and restless.  Then it hit me that I was being attacked by negativity.  Suddenly I remember a treatment that a Sahaja Yogi told me, that is to put a vibrated coconut on my bed, near my head to absorb all the negativities, negative thoughts and catches.  Luckily I had an extra vibrated coconut sitting at the altar.  I quickly put the coconut on the bed, prayed to Shri Mataji that the coconut will absorb all that was disturbing me and amazingly I slept off immediately after that.  It was a sound sleep. The next day, the first thing I did was to check the coconut.  It has a long crack and another coconut in my room also has a crack.  I was so relieved knowing that the ...

To fall down, scrape your knees and then stand up and tell yourself never to fall down again and be careful when you walk.  Some lessons are learn the hard way. Part of growing up is to learn from your mistake and then let go.  But I find it really hard to let go.  It's my ego that is holding on.  For me, I will try my very best to be careful and not repeat past mistakes and also not to create an opportunity to make any mistakes because I don't like to be in sticky situations.  Sometimes it is not possible to fall down, scrape your knees, stand up and hope that it won't happen again because accidents do happen.  Sometimes although you try not to create an opportunity to make any mistakes, it will still happen. Whatever it is, mistakes will happen.  What we need to do is to forgive so that we can let it go.  Forgive ourselves and forgive others.  I feel this is the hardest challenge as a Sahaja Yogi, for me that is.  I know by no...

A few days ago, my neighbours were quarreling over dog poo.  One of the neighbour who frequently walks his dog allows his dog to poo at the front gate of the other neighbour and never pick it up.  So, when the other neighbour drives his car into the driveway, his tyres would ran through the poo and that would cause a big mess and stinks the whole house. So both neighbours argued with one denying his actions and the other said he has witnesses.  When both parties cannot come to the conclusion, the one with the dog walked away angrily while the other one said he will break the leg of whichever dog which pooed at his house.   Don't worry SPCA, I don't think he will do it.  He just said it out of anger. Anyway, this morning my mom said the same thing because some dog pooed at the front of my house and my car tyres ran through it and now the whole porch stinks and my car tyres stinks.  My mom accused stray dogs for this. Why blame the dog f...

I was wondering what birthday present to give to a Sahaja Yogi for his 16th birthday.  It's harder to get a gift for a teenager boy, so been wondering in my head, what and so on.  Since I was teaching him harmonium, the first thought in my mind was to get him a harmonium book.  That's what my human mind thought.  Then out of the blue, suddenly I have an idea to give him a trilogy which I have bought to read but not finding any time to read.  I gave it to him and he was delighted, saying that he has been wanting these books.   So, I was amazed that I made way for the Sahaj mind to work out and if I just let the human mind to take charge, probably he won't like it that much. So, I realise that since I got my self-realisation, many wonders like this have happened.  Sometimes we think something is best, but the Divine will intervene and tell you something that is even better.

I hope the recent forgetfulness that I am experiencing is not permanent.  I hope that it is just because I was not in the present and not paying attention to things.  I tell you why I am concern. It's in the family genes, from my mom's side.  All her brothers and sisters have this problem too.  And this problem have caused them losses, like for the ladies, they will forget to bring their handbags back with them and therefore losing money, IDs, keys and so on.  For the gentlemen, they will forget how to get to one place although already been there many times.  Once my mom was boiling some water and left the house, completely forgotten about it.  I was woken up by the burnt smell.  Lucky only the pot became black and no fire. This weird trait has passed on to the second generation too.  Each family, will have at least 1 son/daughter who is absent-minded.  In my family, it's my sister.  So, I hope I have not become like them too...

Above is the felicitation that US President Barack Obama sent to our beloved mother, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi last year. Shri Mataji, I would like to wish You a Happy 87th Birthday.  I wish You good health and long life.  I pray that in this wonderful occasion of marking Your human birth, that we, the Sahaja Yogis can spread Sahaja Yoga to the whole wide world.  Thank You for Your blessings. We had a beautiful Birthday Puja today and I could feel so much of joy in my heart during Her speech.  We listened to Birthday Puja 2001 speech.  Very relevant in our lives right now and it hit right at the spot.  I hope everyone feels the same too.  Beautiful vibrations.

Navaratri 1980 ... you have already heard about the importance of today in the life of the Goddess. And that today Ravana was killed and that's how there were celebrations. As you know very well that all the satanic forces which one had to face one at the time are all back on the stage and they are to be defeated. The greatest problem of modern times is that these satanic forces have taken a very subtle form and they enter into your psyches and into your egos. And you are the Saints, you are the Bhaktas, you are the devotees of the Goddess. It's a very delicate situation. When the confusion is there, when the saints are attacked, the aggressor can be removed, but the saint becomes mixed up or confused with negative forces, which is very difficult to make him see the light. And you have seen this situation very well. And the subtler you grow, the subtler they became. And they start giving you ideas which are so negative, but you cannot see them. So the problem today is very ...

Yes, I copied it from here and was allowed to re-use it.  Sometimes I confused a blog with a diary, so many times I am writing to remind myself of my current state of mind and keeping a record of new discoveries.  I am not telling anyone off or lecturing anyone else but myself.  I may have written 'You' but it is only me telling myself.  Just read the well-written disclaimer.  Credit goes to the author of the disclaimer (not me).

Time is not a factor in ascent in Sahaja Yoga.  Depth is. No matter how long you are in Sahaja Yoga, if you still don't understand and don't practice the principles of Sahaja Yoga, then you are still in square one.  This is from my own experience and observation.

Went to watch Alice in Wonderland in the cinema lately and the moral of the story is: If you think something is impossible, then you won't be able to do it.  The mind is so powerful that it can hide your hidden abilities, gives you fear and crippled your whole-being.  If you let go of your mind and listen to your heart, then bigger opportunities will be waiting for you.

We all can : 1. Be innocent 2. Not think so much 3. Be satisfied 4. Be our own Guru 5. Be happy and joyous 6. Be courageous 7. Have discretion 8. Be diplomatic 9. Not be angry 10. Not be egoistical 11. Not be conditioned 12. Be a witness 13. Not react 14. Be detached 15. Be surrendered to the Divine A combination of 2 of the qualities will generate new qualities.  Did I miss anything out?  Fill me in if I did. Yesterday Shivaratri Puja was great.  Felt joyful throughout the puja.  We watch Shri Mataji's speech on Shivaratri Puja 1991 in Italy.   I am getting more forgetful these days.  Wondering what's up with me.  Is it because I am thinking too much of the yuvas?  No doubt without fail, my mind only goes to the yuvas nowadays.  Every Saturday I am just busy with the yuvas activities.  I am getting tired and feel like I need a break.  But I know no matter how many breaks I take, I will still feel tired bec...

It's Shivaratri puja weekend.  Have a great meditation. "Oh! Lord, please give us the power and source of attraction so that we quit the happiness of all other attractions whatever we think about the other things we should leave all false attachements and thoughts and should surrender to Shiva Tattwa Swaroopa and should get into Nirmal Ananda!!' " – Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Mahashivaratri Puja,1985

--> These are moments which people call the light bulb moments.  I had a few Aha moments when I was in Vashi.  I have compiled here a few of my Aha moments for the past few months (from the latest to the earliest): 1.        Blogs are for people to express their ego (including myself). (Correction: Not always, and not all blogs, but usually happens to personal blogs). 2.        Humans will be humans although already got self-realisation. 3.        No matter how something is guaranteed to be good, there are still people who are reluctant to accept. 4.        We (Sahaja Yogis) sometimes have forgotten that Shri Mataji is EVERYTHING. 5.        Joy is the quality of the heart and that is where our spirit resides.

If you are a Sahaja Yogini, then at the time of crisis, you should become thoughtless. That’s one of the signs. I have seen with Myself, if there is any crisis in the family, I just become thoughtless. That means what? That God takes you in, your problems. He puts His hand, He puts His protection and He takes you out of it and makes you absolutely thoughtless. And in that thoughtless awareness you discover what is right, what is wrong. So even in  crisis, this thoughtless awareness is all the time extremely alert. It becomes much more alert than normal. That’s the sign of a Sahaja Yogi and the sign of Sahaja Yogini … In wisdom you understand that all the Deities are just with you. And whatever happens to you, they are before you. Nobody can harm you. Nobody can touch you. You are so protected. Lotuses are not protected. You are so protected that if anybody tries to harm you, immediately there is protection. Also your own protection is there, as I said, that you jump int...

Many women have this.  According to Wikipedia - Plantar fasciitis is a painful inflammatory process of the plantar fascia .  The plantar fascia is a thick fibrous band of tissue originating on the bottom surface of the calcaneus (heel bone) and extending along the sole of the foot towards the five toes.  The pain is usually felt on the underside of the heel and is often most intense with the first steps of the day. Another symptom is that the sufferer has difficulty bending the foot so that the toes are brought toward the shin (decreased dorsiflexion of the ankle). A symptom commonly recognized among sufferers of plantar fasciitis is increased probability of knee pains, especially among runners. I have this back in year 2005.  What happened was in my previous office, we were required to remove our shoes.  So, I don't wear proper shoes, I will just wear my slippers / flips flops to work.  It has no heel which was the cause of plantar fasciitis....

I know I promise to post about plantar faciitis.  But right now my mind and attention is not in the right balance.  So, let's us just read about Shri Mataji's speech first.  Will post about the miracle on plantar faciitis next post.   THE JOY OF THE ABSOLUTE Like water does not stay on the Lotus leaf, so you become 'Kalatita', you become 'Dharmatita'. You become 'Gunanita'. Means, you go beyond the three 'moods' (Gunas) with which you are born, left, right and centre. The left one in the one by which you have emotional attachments of your attention. The second one (right) is the physical and the mental attachments. And the third one (centre), is the attachment to the dharma, attachment to be righteous and to make other righteous, of disciplining others and disciplining yourself... Where a person tries to control all his enemies of lust, anger, pride, vanity, attachments and greed. All these restrictions on the attention get lost an...

The video showing the scrap book made for Shri Mataji has been removed as there were some changes in the scrap book. New video will posted later.

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 tri...

I know there are some readers for my blog.  I don't know how many are loyal ones, but from my traffic counter, I can see some recurring readers.  If you look at the traffic counter, most of my blog readers are foreigners.  How come there are no Malaysian readers? Well, that's because I didn't publicise my blog.  I probably did it many years ago when I first started, then I just stopped and only 1 person remained loyal, but otherwise most people whom I told about this blog has forgotten about it unless they happened to google something and my blog appears there.  A lot of my readers do not leave comments in my blog.  Maybe because I have made it difficult for them but I have to, to eliminate spam and rude comments.  So, that's why I don't really know how many loyal readers are there and how many actually read the posts I have posted.  But it doesn't matter. They say blogs are a thing in the past.  Now people prefer Facebook and Tw...

Letting go is not only about the past.  It's also about a grudge.   Letting go is something which doesn't come easy to me.  I know it does for some people.   From young, I always held grudges against people whom I feel have been unfair to me.  I can remember every single detail of how a person have scolded me unfairly, talk to me unfairly, humiliated me, do things to hurt me, the list goes on.  I can remember back to my primary school days.  The sad thing is, I don't remember the good things, but bad things I will keep in my memories.  Whenever I feel I have been treated unfairly, there will be conversations in my head as to how to talk back to that person.  In real life, that will not happen because I don't have the nerves to talk back.  So, I pretend to be goody goody.  But inside me, questions and answers will be going on, and anger will be boiling slowly.  The fire won't die easily, that's why I can sti...
