from the BBC, a report on meditation and its benefits. To locate a meditation meeting near you, visit (for USA) www.sahajayoga.org ; To learn about meditation related topics with live online workshops, visit www.freemeditation.tv
This blog contains personal reflections on Sahaja Life by practitioners of the Sahaja technique. Sahaja is the path of enlightened knowledge, as opposed to other forms of yoga and meditation, which profess singular paths like devotion-only (bhakti path). Growth in Sahja happens by experiential knowldge acquisition.

Only we can destroy ourselves
Children of one Mother
Listening to the wisdom of old
We feel safe
Playing with each other in her watchful gaze
We feel safe
Her feet in the corner of our eyes
We feel safe
Climbing on the mountain – aware of her presence
We feel safe
The stranger’s voice is whispering
May sound like fun
The stranger’s gaze is tempting us
May make us feel all grown up
The stranger’s tasks lead us to new adventures
May make us feel curious
The voices of wisdom sound so stale
When we start to grow up
The children’s playful gestures seem so boring
When we start to grow up
The Mother protective gaze appears so limiting
When we start to grow up
In the strange world
We don’t need our Mother
In the strange world
We are above the others
In the strange world
The stranger’s affection sets us apart
The Mother feels so far
When the confusion sets in
All grown up
The safety of her voice has lost its comfort
Being lost in our greatness looses its fun
When the guilt sets in
Luckily the Mother’s loving hands are never far
When we become small again
Luckily her gaze is still as loving
When we move back into the presence of her being
It may take a little time
But the play of the children will be sweet again

SahajaTravel as a Guru
Photo by MusMs
Traveling for Sahaja is a great equilizer. It exposes you to new energies. Sometimes the new energies can be strong awakenings brought about by concepts hitherto unknown. New ways of spreading the love, new ways of strengthening collectivity, new ways of connecting and new ways of looking at the self.And it works both ways. When you travel out and when others travel to you and bring an invisible bag of goodies, which are ideas.
This past weekend, two dynamic yogis from Toronto landed in Michigan. In the tradition of Sahaja hobbithood, we did what we usually do. Spread love, poster around, eat, sing, make merry and share stories. We sown seeds in each other's hearts and lands. We'll try to nourish these seeds by visiting each other more often and see the seeds sprout in the light of truth and rain of Mother's love.

Karma cola
I don't wanna get my karma cola (F# maj)
Sitting in a leaky, black gondola
of blind faith, that's just not me!
I don't wanna get instant nirvana,
I'd rather just have a nice banana
of the Truth, that sets me free
I'd rather be a little disillusioned
Waiting for dawn in mild confusion
in the night, of ignorance
I'd rather be miles from the nearest shore
Than give in to a lie, fable or lore,
from a vagabond, just out of jail
I'd rather go hungry, parched and weary
than turn around, regretful & sorry
for a life, lost & wasted.
I'd rather be poor man of sound mind,
Than win a contest of the popularity kind,
that'd do no good, to the brotherhood
I'd rather be a star pale and faint,
Than a comet that shines for just a moment,
And dissapears, leaving us here
Leavin' us here.....
I'd rather be a bathroom singer & crazy,
memories of love clear some hazy,
In the heart, where its always summer
I'd rather be a million dollars in debt,
Than have binding obligations set,
to be a slave, of a twisted knave
'Rather be dissolved the grand illusion,
Than stay afloat in false confusions,
of the torrid mind: rational & unkind
Rather be person, kind and wrong,
Than sing a dry, boring, rational song,
from the mind, that illusive find

Solution for Insane Times
Los Angeles, and then Detroit has become a the latest newsmaker for violence related to the financial meltdown. Insanity draws closer. If you feel mildly worried or concerned and need peace, I recommend meditation using Sahaja Yoga. There is even a local meeting place close to Detroit. So do not wait and act now for a balanced life.

Marocco Sahaja Yoga Tour
A group of European yogis currently on a realization tour in cities of Morocco, in Northwest Africa. As you see in the attached pictures they also offered a piece of cloth worn by Shri Mataji to the Atlantic ocean, the cloth was placed in a lamp and the offering was done on the request of Shri Mataji Herself.
