To err is human, to forgive Divine

Something happened and my faith in Shri Mataji elevated again.  We are so blessed to be in Divine's attention because we are Sahaja Yogis.  Shri Mataji has always protected us right from the beginning. I never truly understood the word 'Maya' until now.  Even then, I may not understand the whole picture completely.  God is great!  His actions may not be understood or decoded by anyone.  But in the end, it's all God's will and it's for our ascent. Without going too much detail into it, here's what it is. Since 1st Jan this year, there has been some misunderstanding between my hubby and another party.   Verbal abuses and harsh words were thrown at him.  There was a huge quarrel and argument.  Although it ended peacefully, somehow I felt there were undercurrents.  Since that day, I prayed to Shri Mataji, please don't let me go through this again and just let us live in peace. Sure enough, when there were subsequent disagreements and argumen

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.  Af

This is a belated message.  It has totally slipped my mind. Recently, I watched Diwali Puja 1991 in Cabella.  The speech was light-hearted and full of joy.  So much so that I shared this joy with the collective and suggested this video to be played for our Diwali puja. Sharing with you all here.  Enjoy! May this Diwali light brightens our heart and filled them with joy.  May darkness be eradicated.  May hatred disappeared.  May love spreads.

A sari incident with Shri Mataji

I don't have a lot of memories in the presence of Shri Mataji.  I didn't have much chance to present many things for Her.  I have always heard lots of beautiful experience that happened in Her presence.  Some miracles, some amazing experiences.  So I have only this one experience that happened in 2006 Los Angeles before Shri Ganesha Puja which is forever etched in my mind. I was picked to offer the Lakshmi basket to Shri Mataji before puja.  In actual fact, I wasn't supposed to be the one.  But the person who was selected earlier had to do aarti for Shri Mataji and so I got the chance to take her place. I remembered very clearly, all the ladies offering Lakshmi basket to wait on the top floor of the Sheraton or Renaissance Hotel.  While waiting, I helped a lady from Hong Kong to adjust her sari.  Many of the ladies were still fussing over the Lakhsmi basket to perfect the decoration and arrangement.   Me and another sister did the Lakshmi basket earlier that da

Have we forgotten that we are yogis?

Recent events happened on Facebook, Whatsapp and local collective has made me rather sad.  I know I should not be reacting and should be witnessing them.  Here we are looking at Shri Mataji's photo everyday and now it's easily accessible on Facebook and Whatsapp, and there we are forgotten that we are all brothers and sisters of the same Mother and fighting and arguing like no other. Not pointing fingers at anyone, but looking at general, have we forgotten all that was taught by Shri Mataji?  To love?  To be compassionate?  To forgive?   What's the point of giving SR to non-yogis excessively when we can't even love our own people at home?   If a yogi didn't get the recognition or support that he/she wants, and he/she voiced it out on social media to garner the support of other yogis who doesn't know him/her and use that to attack yogis/yoginis who didn't support him/her in the first place.  Isn't this ego? If a yogi is no longer a member

Introspection

Recently I rejected joining our annual 2 days 1 night team building to a beautiful resort, with all expenses paid.  At first I was asking myself, why am I so anti-social? A yogi sister told me to go and help spread vibes.  But I am still reluctant. My reasons were clear.  I didn't want to spend my weekend with people who are egoistical, rude and unhappy. But maybe I could change things?  With positive vibes, etc?  Maybe I could squeeze in a SR session with them?   I don't know.  I chickened out and not ready to do this on my own.  Just not with this group.

Memories of Sahaj weddings and marriages

Yesterday we attended the wedding reception of a Sahaj married couple.  Husband Malaysian, wife Russian.  During the reception, Sahaj marriage and the wedding procedure was introduced to yogis and non-yogis.   An Sahaj aunty who was beside me told me that she was personally there in Shri Mataji's house in Genoa when the checking vibrations for the matches were in progress.  She saw how the marriage committee filtered the forms according to age, height and occupation or interest.  Then after the match has been found, the forms were checked for vibrations by the committee.  Only 100% cool vibrations matches will be sent to Shri Mataji for Her approval.  I said, "Wow, that's amazing."  She said, "Yeah, that was in 2010 when Shri Mataji was physically there in Cabella."  2010 was the year we got matched and so I felt so blessed hearing this. Back in 2010, one day during the World Festivals Program, a yogi sister came to me and shared her experien
