First time with Shri Mataji

I love reminiscing these beautiful memories with Shri Mataji.  Though not many, it was enough to last me a life time.  Some past are worthy of remembering while some past need to be ditch immediately.  

I remembered the first time I got the chance to be near to Shri Mataji.  It was in 2001, Christmas Puja in Ganapatipule. 

After the puja, the norm was to offer a present to Shri Mataji.  Each country representatives would get a chance to go on stage to offer.  

I was hoping very hard that I would be selected to represent Malaysia.  But, I was very new and young.  Anyhow, 2 other Malaysian yogis were selected in the last minute.  I remembered telling the yogini to please tie her hair up as it was very messy and not appropriate to be in front of Shri Mataji.  Deep in my heart, I was envying her lucky chance and I said in my heart, "If only I get the chance to go on stage, that experience would be enough to last me a life time."

Finally, they went and queued.  After some time, after many countries went and came back, suddenly I saw one of my Indian rakhi brother, came to me and told me to quickly get ready to offer the International Yuva Shakti gift.  I was surprised.  What International Yuva Shakti gift?  I didn't prepare any gift.  He said they have already prepared.  Just need to go on stage to present.

I quickly left the terrace seats and met him at the foot of the stage.  He explained briefly and told me to hurry up.  I went to the side of the stage and was given a pillow to offer.  I walked up and did my pranam.  What I saw on stage was a true maya that day.  Shri Mataji was in Shri Mahamaya form.  Truly.  It is difficult to explain here.  But that day, She was not the same person we saw earlier when She gave Her speech.  It was a completely different form.

I remembered offering the gift to Her very quickly.  She didn't look at me.  After leaving the stage, I was wondering to myself, who is that?  And I kept asking this question for some time until I realised, I was on stage with Shri Mahamaya.

Anyhow, my desire to be near Her was fulfilled immediately.  Just a thought and voila!  That was enough to last me a lifetime.  And years later, I was blessed to be near Her again and again.

Have you look at Shri Mataji's bindi before?

The red dot on Her forehead?  We looked at Her beautiful face a lot but how often do we look at Her bindi? Past few days have been a struggle for me to get by.  I can't seem to think properly and having a tough time trying to rationalise and be balance.  It's not because of the recent happenings.  It has been accumulating from many, many nights before that.  Attention was all over the place.  I lost control of myself.  I don't know what I want to do.  I don't know how to move on.  I felt a little lost.  I think and think and think.  I tired myself out and finally declared that it's fatigue.   Last night, decided to pull myself together.  Sat in front of Shri Mataji's photo and just looked at Her big, round red bindi.  At first it was difficult.  Eyes wandering.  Then after some time, it was much better.  I managed to focus.  That's when a realisation came to me and I got all the answers fo...

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 ...
