Sahaja Yoga Marriages

What do I know about marriages?  I have only been married for 1 year and 9 months.  I don't have enough experience to talk about it.  But I do feel, before anyone decides to apply for Sahaj marriage, please read up about it.  Understand the meaning of it, the values of it and the sanctitty of a Sahaj marriage.   A marriage is sacred.  So far, my married life has been quite an interesting one.  Everyday, there is something  new.  If you asked me, yes, I have married my soul mate.  But I only found out about it much later, through this journey.  Marriage is a journey of discovery.  And it takes two to make it work.  And in our case, it takes two of us to meditate together twice daily to make it work.

Moms, what do we do without you? This Mother's Day, I want to thank Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, also known as Mrs Nirmala Srivastava, also our Spiritual Mother.  For those who doesn't know who she is, please read her short biography  here . She gave me my self-realisation on 8th April 1999.  Ever since then, my life changed dramatically.  All for the good.  All for the better. There were times when I drifted far away from Her, but She always bring me back to the

Opinions, opinions, opinions

Recently after the Malaysian 13th General Elections, there was a lot of hype on Facebook.  From being excited, to anger, from being together, to racist. I have seen, old friends, whom had known each other for many years, turning against each other, just because of different opinions on politics. Politicians are rallying up people to support their side, whether pro-Govt or pro-Opposition.  And they are desperately trying hard to the extent that they don't really care what they say or do, as long as they can get the people on their side. But there are also strangers supporting each other, due to the same belief in politics. Many people are coming together to fight for their rights, to fight for fairness, to fight corruption.  But this is the correct method to do?  TO fight? “The Roots of Violence: Wealth without work, Pleasure without conscience, Knowledge without character, Commerce without morality, Science without humanity, Worship without sacrifice, Politics without p
