Mogra

Photo taken from www.flowersof india.net

I found out that there are 2 types of jasmine when I was told a story by a Sahaja Yogi.

He said that one day Shri Mataji asked for mogra flowers and someone brought Her jasmine flowers and Shri Mataji said, no this is not mogra, this is jasmine.  

What is the difference between jasmine and mogra?  Jasmine has fewer petals while mogra has many.  Both smell almost the same except that I find mogra's smell sweeter.  

Here in Malaysia, we can find jasmine flowers a lot.  The Indians usually make garlands using jasmine buds.  

One day, I found mogra.  And it was just a plant in my friend's house but since the flowering is not very frequent compare to a jasmine plant, no one notices that it is actually a mogra plant.  Then when it flowers, I told my friend, 'Hey this is the plant that Shri Mataji mentioned!!!'

I was so happy to find that it's a mogra plant.  No one know where it is from and how it got there (although it is potted).

From that time onwards, I have been trying to transplant it, by cutting it twigs and putting it into root growing powder.  For the past few years, I have only successfully transplanted mogra 3 times.  1 was given to a friend (I hope it is surviving) and 2 was killed by gardener who thought that it is a weed.  

My friend was very generous and gave me the whole pot of the original mogra plant.  Now I can try to transplant more.  The plant is getting older but it is flourishing.  

I have done some experimenting and found that the plant needs a lot of sunlight and irrigation.  But for new transplanted mogra, it cannot take direct sunlight or too much water.  It's either the leaves will dry up (if too much sun) or the leaves will shriveled up and die (if too much water).  So, there need to be a balance in between.  I find that the transplant works best, if the transplanted mogra is put in a shade (like under a bigger plant), but still remains directly under the sun (not indoors).  Since in Malaysia there's always rain, no need to water the transplanted mogra so much.

I have tried transplanting more since getting the mogra plant as a gift.  But so far it has not been successful as I have yet to find the perfect place to put it. 

I am waiting to get the balcony so that I can put the mogra plant there and try transplanting new ones.  I have also plan to plant grass as I missed my grass so much (renovation, therefore no more grass).  I was told I can try planting grass in plastic kiddie pool.  So, I might try that out.  I also plan to plant some wheat grass.  I missed the greens.

I just love the fragrance of mogra flowers.  And I love to offer to Shri Mataji flowers that are planted in our own garden.  So, wish me luck and hope I can transplant a new mogra plant.  

I will keep on experimenting and try until the day it is successful and I will give a pot to my friend who gave me the whole pot of mogra.

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 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 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 do not hav
