The simple things can be joyful

My husband gave me a gift when I was in China recently.  It was an external hard disk.  It was black and thick and simply not beautiful.  But the contents were priceless.  It has a collection of audio and video of Shri Mataji's talks from 1970s to 2000s.  This is like the best gift ever, because here's why.  




My husband is not fluent in English and all these talks are in English with no Chinese subtitles.  For many nights, he loaded the hard disk with all the contents and he knew he won't be the one using the hard disk.  It was very thoughtful of him.  

Recently, I found a very good website with full transcripts of Shri Mataji's talks, interviews, puja, etc.  This is the website, www.amruta.org.  I have been enjoying reading them when I have free time at work and it surely enlightens my day.

So, what I will do for him is, I will translate some of the transcripts into Chinese for him to read.  Not that I am very good in translation, but thanks to Google Translate, I managed to finish one easy one.  In the process, I also learn a few Chinese words myself.  

Today, I plucked a mogra flower from the garden and offered it to Shri Mataji's photo at my work desk.  The sweet-smelling Mogra fragrance is so calming, relaxing and brings a certain feeling inside, don't know how to explain.  Just looking at the pretty white flower gives a certain enjoyment.  It makes me feel that God is so great, by creating all these little beautiful things for us to enjoy.



Life has been quite challenging and complicated lately.  But I have good friends and a supportive husband.  They reminded me that life can be simple and God is great.  Sometimes joy comes in the simplest things.  

I have been quite impatient and hoping for instant miracles and solutions.  Guess patience is virtue.

"Now this patience is most joy giving. Patience gives you the greatest joy. When you are patient you develop all your qualities. I think in patience you blossom the best. But patience is not be patient, be patient. Patience is also a kind of a state within us with just this patience, Saburi as they call it. You just watch and see. Wherever you are you are." Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Ganapatipule, 1988

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 ...
