Jai Jai Jai Shri Mataji

This is a continuation from this post .  Remember I said that I was trying to transplant a new mogra plant using existing mogra branches?  Well, I wasn't successful after many rounds, but my dad who has a green thumb has transplanted not 1 plant, but 3!!!  Not only he managed to transplant a new one, the existing ones was flowering so much more with my dad's love and attention.  He put fertilizers and some vitamins and new soil, etc, etc. I don't know how he did it.  He didn't use the growing roots powder.  But I think the mistake I made was I cut a small twig to transplant instead of the whole branch.  He cut the whole branch and from there, new branches started growing. However, I can still tell the difference between the old and the new plant.  The mogras from the older plant is much more fragrance compared to the new plant.  Can't explain why. Throughout the years of noticing this mogra plant, I found that the mogra b...

God always have a plan and destiny for everyone.  We just need to be patient.  However, patience is not waiting kind of patience. " 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.  Now some people are worried that they must get into the bus.  Some people are worried they must reach back home. S ome people are worried they must get their food in time.  According to them this is discipline.  This is not.  This is conditioning.  But what is the discipline is of patience in Sahaja Yoga.  Where you watch everything and you are patient.  If you are in the bus you are there.  If you are standing on the r...

I wrote a post few minutes earlier and it was full of unhappiness.  Somehow, don't know why, my cursor decided to go to the Close button and click and poof, the whole thing gone.  So, I guess, it's a message that's not meant to go out to everyone.  It's saved but I think it's not meant for you to read, so I deleted it. Well, yes, I was unhappy, and still am a bit.  But what's the point right?  Today I found really, that negativity is acting out again and it can pulls you down faster than anything.  I was not strong, I have to admit, and was pull deep into the trap.   There are so many unhappy people out there that I feel really insecure to walk out on the streets sometimes.  I don't know who I will meet.  It can be a thief, you can get scolded anytime, for no reason, strangers can be really rude to you, it's scary.  Coz unhappiness spells negativity and so on and so on.  Lately I find that so many people have no qualms in c...

Today is Saptami.  We should read the Devi Atharva Sheersha.  What I have here is the English translation.  You should try to read the Sanskrit version. Shri Devi Atharva-shirsham Sri Devi Atharvashirsham 1. All the gods approached the Devi asking: “Who are you, O mighty Goddess?” 2. She replied: “I am the embodiment of the all-pervading Brahma. From me nature, mankind and the Self enter the world, both void and non-void. 3. I am bliss and non-bliss. I am knowledge and non-knowledge. I am the desire to know Brahma and non-Brahma. I am the five primordial principles and the non-principles. I am the complete universe. 4. I am the Vedas and their absence. I am knowledge, I am the absence of knowledge. I am both born and unborn. I am below and above and also across. 5. I move about in the forms of Rudra and Vasu. I am that infinite Aditi by whom the gods also come into being. I hold aloft Mitra and Varuna, Indra, Agni and both...

Today is Panchami.  Argala Stotram should be read.  Jogawa should be sang.   Here is the website for the full Argala Stotram. Today is also the Puja day for us in Malaysia.

The 3rd and the 4th night is for strengthening the Anahat chakra.  On these 2 days, we should recite the Kavach of the Devi.   If you want to read the original version of the Kavach of the Devi (which is in Sanskrit), please go here . Let me share my experience of reading the Kavach of the Devi.   Usually, I will read the English translation.  But ever since coming back from Vashi, I was told that reading the Sanskrit words have a bigger effect on our subtle system.  So, I tried with my inaccurate pronunciation, stumbling here and there, tongue twisted, I could feel clearing going on as I was reading.  The Sahasrara was emitting cool vibrations but the body was just emitting heat.  It's as if the chakras were trying to aligned themselves to their own natural speed and therefore, emitting heat from the friction. My husband reads the Chinese version.  Not sure whether the effects is the same though.  Sometimes I joked...

Today is the Dvitiya, enlightening the Swadisthan and Nabhi chakra.  Today we should recite the Devi Suktam.   If you want to get the meaning and the words of Devi Suktam, please go here .

It's that time of the year again.  The 9 nights prayers will commence tonight.  Tonight is the day of silence, the day of Shri Ganesha.  We should prepare a coconut (decorated as how we normally do it with the swastika) and together with mango leaves, put on a kumbha.  This kumbha will be left on the altar for the 9 nights. "..today is not only the worship of the kumbha where the kundalini resides, but the kumbha becomes the flower pot...the kumbha becoming flowers and the flowers becoming light , and the lights with fragrance..come up to that ..we have to change the world into a beautiful place..keep your attention on the source of power.."   - HH Shri Mataji -Navaratri Puja 1990

Few days ago, I listened to one audio talk of Shri Mataji.  There was no date on the mp3 file, so I do not know when She gave that speech and the title was Meditation with Shri Mataji.  The talk was only 15 minutes long. Shri Mataji taught us how to get into thoughtless awareness and it's really easy. During meditation, start breathing in slowly.  Then hold for a few seconds.  Then breathe out slowly and hold for a few seconds.  While doing that, surrender all your emotions and desire to Shri Mataji.  Anything that you are feeling at that moment, just surrender. Continue breathing that way for few cycles.  You will find that you will reach a point that as if you are not breathing and then you start breathing normally.  Watch your breathing.  And do everything slowly with attention on the Sahasrara. What I experienced was, I felt calmer and settled in my attention.  I was able to keep my mind blank and I can feel vibratio...
