Innocence

" If there is  one  child, it can entertain at least hundred people. What is so sweet about the child? Is the  innocence : the way he speaks, the way he talks, the way he behaves, the way he expresses his love. It’s so  simple  but it has something in the  essence , this  innocence  of Shri Ganesha." - Excerpt from Shri Ganesha Puja, Cabella, 10 Sep 1995 Yesterday was a very hot day.  After helping out at the new seekers class, I was feeling very tired and lethargic.  Came home and did a nice, long footsoak and decided to give myself a nice head rub with lots of coconut oil.  It's one of those rare occasions when I get such a nice "Me" time and took the chance while Miss A was still napping.  Body cooled down so much and was feeling much better. When Miss A woke up, I decided that she needs a nice oil bath and head rub too since she was feeling hot and bothered.  We usually take turns to massage her before bed, bu...

Pure Desire

"Now, supposing – you want to go to the garden, supposing. Just you want to go to the garden and suddenly you’ll find in the garden. Then you will know that your  desire  is  pure . That’s why it has worked out. “How am I in the garden? Has garden walked to me or I have walked into the garden?” All such things go on happening within you. These are miracles, as they call it, miracles of Sahaja Yoga. It’s not that. It’s the  pure desire  works it because it is powerful. It just works it. And when it works the whole thing out, you develop that faith within yourself. So that faith, if it is within you, nobody can challenge that faith, which is not a blind faith but an open-eyes, experienced faith which is established within you – cannot be challenged. If you have the faith, it will be done. That’s why I always say don’t say even off-hand things because you’re Sahaja yogis, you are connected. If you say, “Let that plane be late”, it will be. There is no need to sa...

Happy Diwali!

May the light of Diwali brings enlightenment to our spirit and keep the light burning.  May the light of Diwali brighten all the dark days.  May the good forces destroy the evil.  May Shri Mataji blesses us always. Every time I write the above message for Diwali, I am always reminded of the one time that Shri Mataji came to my dream and spoke to me.  It was so surreal but at the same time felt so real. At that time, one yogi was having some major problem with his marital life.  When Shri Mataji came to my dream, first thing She told me was that I have no courage.  That's another story, another day.  Then I asked, how about this yogi?  And She closed her eyes and took a short pause and then replied, "His fire is too strong, his flame is dying." The first translation of the dream in my head was that he is too right sided, and the flame in his heart, the spiritual light is slowly dying.  In another words, he is going to leave his...

I am a proud mama

One evening, after my shower and washing my hair, I went to the guest room downstairs to blow dry my hair.  This room has a vanity table and makeup and hair products that my mother uses and also have a wardrobe full of children's clothes for my nephew and my girl.  The kids use this downstairs bathroom. My nephew just had his bath and his dirty clothes were left on the floor, outside the bathroom. My little girl came running into the guest room when she saw me walking into it.  I told her I am blowing my hair.  She was holding a soccer ball.  She dropped the ball and it went into the bathroom.  I told her to pick it up.   There, after picking up the ball, she saw the dirty clothes on the floor.  Without anyone telling her what to do, she picked it up and went all the way out of the room, into the dry kitchen, then wet kitchen and then the yard where the washing machine is.  There is a short cut, which is through the bathroom but ...

An easy way to make rakhi strings

When you start receiving spam in this blog, it is time to start updating it before more spammers come in and think this blog is abandon. It's the time of the year again to tie rakhi for our brothers.  I have always enjoyed this special occasion thanks to Sahaja Yoga.  Being born a Chinese, I have never known such auspicious and beautiful occasion about Raksha Bandhan.  And being the first born in the family and having no brothers, I have always wanted to feel a brother's love.  So thankful for Sahaja Yoga to introduce me to this wonderful event of tying rakhi for your brother and getting your brother's love and affection. Having being confined in the house due to virus infections in the family, I missed collective for few weeks.  In fact, I wanted to teach to some yoginis how to make these rakhis and was informed to teach them too.  Unfortunately, the virus has isolated me and my family.  So last Saturday, while going deep into meditation (aft...

Good Sahaja Yoga resources

I think I have posted some very good Sahaja Yoga websites but I can't find that post.  Here you go: 1. Amruta This web has a collection of Shri Mataji's speeches in audio and video and some with transcript.  There are also some speeches translated to different languages which is beneficial to those who doesn't know English.  The search function is also very good.  If you need to find any info, just type in the keyword and click Search and voila, all the speeches with the keywords will appear.   2. Sahaja Yoga Online Library This was created by the Indian Sahaja Yogis and it has a wide collection of books, CDs (can listen in MP3 and downloadable), magazines and photos.  The registration part is a little tricky though.   3. Sahaja Yoga Books for Children This web has a list of books for Sahaja Yogis' children.  Once you click Order, it will bring you to Amazon and you can purchase from there.  I just did. 4. Sahaja Yoga e-Bo...

Sahaja Yoga and Children

Books "Raising Children in Sahaja Yoga" is very good.  It contains excerpts from Shri Mataji's various speeches and also a summary of how to bring up children according to their ages from 0-6 onwards.  Very informative for new parents.  You can download this book for free from Sahaja Yoga Online Library .   "My First Book of Chakras" is a beautiful book with colourful illustrations.  It is suitable for both children and adult.  It has lots of information about chakras and deities.  One look at it you can tell that the authors put a lot of effort and attention into this book.  You can buy this book from the Sahaja Books for Children.  Somehow I got a copy of the e-Book forwarded by some yogis few years back.   In the same webpage, you can find many Sahaja Yoga books written for Sahaja Yogis children by Sahaja Yogis.  I just bought Nirmala's Story on Amazon.  Cost a lot but the vibes were fantastic. Music "Litt...
