Stories on Vibrations
In 1987, we were celebrating Shri Mataji's birthday at Mumbai and Debu Choudhary (the famous sitarist) was invited. But when he came, his hand was fractured, and he told Shri Mataji he could not play. So Shri Mataji asked to see his hand, and gave vibrations for a few minutes. Then he was able to play the sitar for an hour.

It was tremendous to see that light I saw Her at Ganapatipule and She was listening to Debu Chaudhuri playing classical Indian music. And he was playing for hours and after that the vibrations were tremendous. And after he had finished playing, Shri Mataji got up and embraced him. And somebody took a photograph that time with a Polaroid camera, so it came out immediately, and in the photo all around were vibrations. Light could be seen all around them in the photo. It was tremendous to see that light, in the photo, at that very moment.

Follow along with HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi giving Self Realization - Kundalini Awakening in New Delhi, India 1986. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTgx1JrPUkQ (Hindi & English)

"Sahaja" in Sanskrit means spontaneous and also born with," Yoga" means union with God. The potential to the spiritual awakening and ascent is inborn in every human being. This potential is possible to be actualized through a unique living process of Sahaja Yoga. This unique discovery has been done by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi (in 1970).The process of Sahaja Yoga is spontaneous and natural. It is a technique to awaken the Kundalini Shakti which lies in the sleeping state at the base of the spine (sacrum bone) of each human being. The process of awakening this Kundalini (Self Realisation) is a spontaneous and joy giving process, quite contrary to the widespread misinformation about it.
