Sahaja Yoga Meditation Podcasts

Music has a powerful effect on the kundalini and on the clearing and balancing of the chakras. Balanced music emits a sound with vibrations which can activate the chakras. This can help us have a stronger experience of meditation.

This program features 3 Sahaja yogis, professional musicians, Rithom Sarkar (Slide Guitar), Asmira Woodward-Page (Violon) and Lene Jeffrey (Voice, Guitar and Harmonium) who will share their personal experience with enlightened music and will perform live in the studio. The program also features a short workshop on the meaning and power of AUM, a guided meditation in music and two extracts of Shri Mataji about the effect of music on our chakras.

An introduction about life and legacy of Shri Mataji- founder of Sahaja Yoga meditation and the background to Her ‘Meta Modern Era’ book.
This is how Shri Mataji explains Her term ‘Meta Modern Era’: "You see this is meta-modern, I’m talking of meta-modern era, where people will not have any violence because it’s compassion and love. You’ll feel the love for another person. There’s no question of violence. And in this meta-modern era there will be no racialism, no fanaticism, no fundamentalism, all ‘isms’ will drop out. Because ‘isms’ are just conditionings and ignorance."

"In the triangular bone, called sacrum, there is a residual power of pure desire. This bone was known to the ancient Greeks and Romans, who called it sacrum. This means that they knew that it was a sacred bone. This power is termed as kundalini in the Sanskrit language.
At this time, I would like to say very humbly that one should not discard this knowledge as useless because it is coming from a developing country (in the Western terminology) like India. The Western culture has now advanced greatly as far as outward scientific life is concerned."

"Science cannot answer many questions. So many in medical science have now tried to reach the minutest thing, called the gene. But the scientists are frustrated because they cannot go any further with the help of these genes to really overcome the complications created by modern life. The conclusion they have reached that genes are only inherited is absolutely wrong. Actually, genes also reflect our personality that we create in day-to-day life. All our sympathetic activity is reflected on our genes as well."

"So people are fighting in the name of God and there is no world peace. Behind all these activities, there is also powerful money orientation and, when it comes to economics, the people of the highest order in a religion succumb to compromise, however immoral it may be. They have neither character nor courage nor real faith to resist fashionable trends of money business. In fact, they allow their followers to swim with the evil currents of the day and, thus, lead them into hell from where there is no return. These religions inject fixed ideas into the brains of people. These fixed ideas start developing in a collective way and this can produce a very big, collective monster, which can believe only in killing others and pushing its own ideas."

"The only way we can bring peace on this Earth is not by talking or by organizing, but by transforming people to this new awareness of the fourth dimension, where they become the spirit. But what are we to do about people who are violent? How do we protect ourselves from them is always the question put to me. The answer is that we are now in the realm of God Almighty."

"All the religions from ancient times have said that a man or a woman has to cleanse his or her mind through religious activity, with a righteous life. The aim of every religion was to establish balance in every way to make way for the ascent of the seeker. The second birth, walihood, selfhood, Buddha’s state, Jaini state, gnostic or atmasakshatkar are all names for Self-realisation. In the olden days, people always wanted to be honourable and good to ascend higher in their awareness. They obeyed and tried to do whatever was asked by the saints, prophets or incarnations."

"Culture is the outcome in any society of its history, its faith, its thinking, its emotions, its aspirations and its ideals. It is revealed in the behaviour of people among themselves and in interactions with people of other cultures. Culture shows the social heights in serenity, wisdom and morality. The innate culture of innocence and spirituality creates peace, honesty and moral sense. On the whole, such a culture produces a sweet language and a peaceful existence in family life and in society."

"Diversity of bodies, faces and skin created by nature is very important because otherwise everybody would look the same. It would be a regiment of boring human faces. Unfortunately the colored people were called primitive, while the white-skinned were regarded as advanced. It is intolerable arrogance to discriminate between one human being and another because of the color of his skin. They all have the same heart, the same feelings, the same expression of love and hate. They all smile the same way, they all weep the same way. The countries in which colored people are born should have their own countries. They may be primitive or backward but no foreigner, not even a white man, has the right to occupy their lands forcibly by using guns and canons against unarmed natives."

"It was the great advent of Abraham Lincoln, which brought the uniquely true idea of democracy into reality in America. He specifically said that the government should be “of the people,” yet today we find that most countries who call themselves democracies have been “demon-o-cracies.” They are ruled by people who are either money-oriented or power-oriented. Concern for the benevolence of the people, which should be the main aim of a democracy, has become completely lost in modern times."

"This book is no way to show any flowery language or to show any literary talent of mine. It is just a straightforward statement of facts which I know and which I want to communicate with the Western world. I would request people not to waste their time in finding faults with my English because it is not my Mother tongue and I never studied it. Unfortunately, I could not get somebody else to write for me because it had to be written by me personally."

Presentation on the 10 Adi Gurus (Primordial Masters) of the Void area of the subtle system.  Ten great Masters have taken their births, in order to help establish righteousness and exemplify good conduct. These incarnations are the navigators who help chart the journey for those who are desiring to cross the turbulent waters of the Ocean of Illusion.

The 10 Adi Gurus who incarnated were...

Shri Raja Janaka - King of Mithila and Father of Shri Sita, wife of Shri Rama (India c. 8000 BC).
Shri Abraham - Forefather of the 12 tribes of Israel (Israel c. 2000 BC).
Shri Zarathustra - Instituted Monotheism and fire worship (Persia c. 1800 BC).
Shri Moses - Founder of Jewish law (Egypt c. 1250BC).
Shri Lao-Tsu - Author of Tao Te Ching (China b. 604 BC).
Shri Confucius - Taught ethics and compiled I Ching (China b. 549 BC).
Shri Socrates - Founder of Greek philosophy (Greece b. 431 BC).
Shri Mohammed - Founder of Islam (Arabia d. 632 AD).
Shri Guru Nanak - Founder of the Sikhs (India b. 1469 AD).
Shri Sainath of Shirdi - Who prophesied Shri Mataji's birth (India c. 1840 - 1918 AD).

Patrick Sheridan is one of the first Sahaja Yogis in the West and he has written this book, Expecting to Flyer, in an attempt to reach out to all the lost seekers, especially those taking drugs. Long time ago, Shri Mataji (founder of Sahaja Yoga) asked him to write such a book. The book gives a candid account of the astonishing things he learned and experienced in her company over a period of many years.

More details about the book are available here.

In the Sahasrara, the whole instrument is integrated. Each chakra has its place here. When Kundalini reaches Sahasrara the lotus petals open and enlightenment (samadhi) takes place. You may feel a flow of cool vibrations from the fontanele bone area on top the head. Putting our attention on this chakra can help us experience mental silence - the true meditation.

The Search for the Divine Mother by Gwenael Verez

This book looks at our religion and spirituality from a historical viewpoint.

Many traditions attach great importance to the feminine dimension of the Divine. It is She who is said to give liberation, spiritual rebirth, that is to say Union with the Self. The most significant example is the knowledge of the Kundalini in India.

We may wonder why the Western religions have attributed an exclusively masculine, patriarchal character to the Divine. Several thousand years ago, was not the only form of Divinity, the object of veneration, feminine and maternal?

What is responsible for this neglect, this confiscation? Has the original message of these religions been distorted to the point that we are today unaware of the Mother-Goddess?

And could the Age of Aquarius, which is said to mark a change of consciousness on a spiritual level, perhaps be the moment where humanity is able to re-discover this awareness of the Universal Mother?

This book offers answers to these topical questions.

The Agnya Chakra, sometimes called the third eye, is placed at the centre of the brain. When Kundalini passes through the chakra, our thought waves elongate so that the space between two thoughts grows wider. As the petals of the chakra open, silence blossoms in the centre and spreads outwards, pushing the thoughts to the periphery of your awareness. In thoughtless awareness, you actually feel this beautiful silence which is at the heart of creation. Just like the vibrations, this expansion of silence is a wave created without percussion. Absolute and therefore beyond causality, all you can say is that it is.

The Anahat (Heart) is the home of Self, Soul, Spirit, Atma, all one and meaning the same. Time and time again Her Holiness Shri Mataji has told us: 'You are nothing but your eternal Spirit.' This centre has to be treated with the greatest respect and understanding. Pure love, which enlightens all, is the true quality of the Heart.

The Vishuddhi chakra has sixteen petals, each with different qualities and functions. On the physical side, it looks after throat, arms, face, mouth, teeth, etc., so they must all be taken care of. For instance, protecting yourself from the cold, avoiding tobacco, taking proper dental care, and so on. This is particularly important for your vibratory awareness, as the nerves which register the vibrations in the hands pass through this centre.

An introduction followed by an extended meditation. Discussion on recent programs in many places around the world. The Music of Joy tour of Asia and how meditation is working through community, schools etc. Mention of Mother's Day.

The quality of Swadisthan on the right side is creativity, i.e. truly inspired thoughts, ideas and actions. The quality of Swadhistan on the left side is pure knowledge, i.e. the truly discerning and discriminating power to see the innate nature of things at a new stage in our awareness called vibrational awareness.

The fundamental quality of this first Chakra, the Mooladhara, is innocence, which forms the basis of every righteous (dharmic) character. This innocence is the type of quality, which is evident in babies and small children. It represents action without motive or desire for gross personal gain.

A presentation on the 3 channels of the subtle system and each chakra in turn. At each chakra, a relevant talk by Shri Mataji (founder of Sahaja Yoga meditation) is played. Music with a guided meditation is also included.

A discussion on what is Kundalini and what are vibrations followed by a reflection on the meaning of forgiveness.

Listening to flute music helps to sooth and clear the Vishuddhi chakra which is located in the throat. It is the 5th chakra of our subtle system. It qualities are diplomacy, pure relationships with others and provides a kind and compassionate voice.

This live flute music was played by Anand Murdeshwar in the presence of Shri Mataji in 1992.

The spirit as the source of security and divinity at the core of each and every human being. The reason for cleansing the energy centres.

The Subtle System is a network of channels and centers of Divine energy within us and it looks after our physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual well being.
