Dawn Of Sahaja Yoga
As dawn was breaking on 5th May 1970, on the seashore at Nargol a new era dawned in the history of mankind by Shri Mataji NirmalaDevi. The era of spirituality, the last breakthrough in the evolutionary process. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi opened the last chakra, the Sahastrar chakra and Sahajayoga dawned to fulfil what Shri Gyaneshwara had asked for in his Pasaydaan that is Vishwa Swadharma Surye paho विश्व स्वधर्म सूर्ये पाहो.
The whole world should see the sun of Swadharma (Swa is the Spirit which is universal. So Dharma of Spirit which is universal). Enmass Kundalini awakaning, effortlessly is the greatest gift of Shri Mataji to the mankind. Since 1970 thousands and thousads across the world got their Self Realization by Shri Mataji and are getting by Her Grace .
Sahastrar Awakens Shri Mataji’s Gift to the World
The seventh chakra, seventh chakra, which is very important. This chakra has got all these seven centres in it. It is placed in the brain. The brain, if you have a transverse section of that, you can see it looks like a lotus leaves. It is said there are one thousand nerves, or one thousand centres or plexuses for this particular center called as Sahastrar. Sahastrar means one thousand petals.
And these petals are shown there. Of course they are not one thousand there, but they look like living flames of different colours. “I will appear before you like tongues of flames.” He said. Even the other centres look like tongues of flames, you see, the flames when enlighten. But the living flames and very silent. They are placed as a lotus and as the Kundalini comes up She pushes this lotus out and you touch the seat of the Spirit, which is on top of your head and you enter into the super consciousness.
Not into the collective subconscious or not into the collective supraconscious, but into the super consciousness, where you become the master, you become the Spirit. And you start feeling the All Pervading Power around you. And through your fontanel bone area you feel the cool breeze, you actually feel it. It’s an actualization
So all these centres are in the brain, so the essence of Sahastrara is integration, unity, complete integration. You cannot integrate nonsensical things together. Integration is only possible of the people who are of the same style, or of the Deities who stand for God.”
So in Sanskrit is a very good word got for integration, Samagra- समग्र, beautiful word which means, Agra-अग्र is the, Agra is the hole in the needle, and when a thread passes through this needles, it passes through the Agra, so it is Samagra. And this integration has to take place as soon as you cross over. And because of this you get your Realization and you feel all the chakras are enlightened

A Vision of the Sahastrara
Human evolution could not have matured earlier because there was not so much of seeking. So when the time came, when the necessity was so great, that the necessity itself brought forth Sahaja Yoga.
And it happened that I really saw the Sahastrara. Of course, you know there’s a difference between your Sahastrara and Mine. And I saw the Sahastrara, which is the Great Sahastrara, opening out beautifully. And the petals were just like flames – rounded flames, not like flames but rounded ones, rounded beautifully coloured flames of different colours.
That’s why I wore today a blouse of many colours and a sari of many colours. Because I saw so many permutations and combinations of these. It opened out so beautifully. And as if every petal was individually, absolutely complete and perfect, but so integrated at the base. And the way it opened out, and the movement was so rhythmic and so harmonious. There was no problem. Such a harmony was between them. No fluctuation anywhere, as if they were dancing to the tune you see, they opened out
And the colours, all spread out their light around the aura. And in the centre I saw the Agya (inaudible), or you can say the Sun colour, and all the chakras from there also emitting out, but the chakras were darker in shades and they were emitting. So dark that they were all looking blackish, you see, so dark, sort of condensed colour they had. And they were also emitting light all over. And the light, as soon as the whole thing opened out, the light absolutely spread out, and then I said “It’s done”, it can be done.
Instrument of Truth: When the Sahastrara Opened
So, first I had to open out My Sahastrara itself, then your Sahastraras could be opened out. And then I felt that, a tremendous flow of My grace, started flowing. So much grace even upon Me, my own face, like torrential rain, you see, on Me. Absolutely I was so drenched in that joy, really I was lost, absolutely lost. Sort of, I felt that the whole creation is now resounded with that Universal Consciousness, just like that. Everything was finished, only the joy was permeating. It was such a beautiful time. And then I started My work
But as you know, in the beginning, it’s very difficult to talk about these things. To begin with it is very difficult for a person to say that ‘I am such and such’. It’s a very embarrassing stuff, it’s extremely embarrassing to tell someone
But as it is when the Sahastrara opened out I realised that the instrument is now ready.
So this Instrument that is before you is the Instrument by which you are going to know the Truth, you can find out the Truth now, through this Instrument of Mine. Because through this Instrument you will get your Kundalini awakened, you’ll get your realisation and through your vibrations you will be able to know the Truth. You already know that the rapport between you and the Truth has started. You can ask any question and you get the answer
So first of all the Truth will be known and that Truth, once you know, will be followed by another dimension of that Truth and another dimension. And I knew a stage will be reached where I will have to give the whole of it, and the whole of it you know what it is. But this Instrument has a special thing about it because Sahastrara is, the essence of Sahastrara, is integration, is ekagrata एकाग्रता .
I have told you what is ekagrata: that is all the holes of all the needles if you put together and thread them together that is called as ekagra एकाग्र: ‘agra-अग्र ’ means the end, ‘ek एक’ means one. All the ends are put through one string. Now what does this mean? In a very subtle way if we understand that all the chakras are threaded into My Being.
That means all types of patterns that have been created, all types of religions, all types of faiths, all types of ideas, all types of enterprises, science, yogas, everything! All of them are threaded in this Being

In the Bible it is written that there will be a tree of life; and this tree of life is nothing but the whole Sushumna Nadi and its branches.
Also, written that “I will appear before you like tongues of flames”.
What are these things, tongues of flames are, if you see your Sahastrara, I do not know how many of you have seen your Sahastrara, it looks like thousand tongues of flames.
We call them petals. It’s more beautiful to call them petals but they are flames. When they are awakened they look like flames, very silent flames burning.
And when this Sahastrara you see, when you see the beauty of the Sahastrara you are amazed that to a gross mind this brain is nothing but the fat cells put together.
But when you get your realization then you find that the same thing that looks like just a group of fat cells and these nerves as elongated fat cells you can call them, when they are enlightened you see the light around them and they are like enlightened wicks of a candle, very long burning flames, beautiful, in different colors, very silent, very beautiful.
This is all is a cock-and-bull story for normal person, and one… it’s difficult for a person to talk about it. As I told you yesterday you have to have a microscope to see something under your skin. Is much more than that you need to see what’s inside you; because this is the area which is under the ground, and not above the ground.
But it’s so essential to have the roots to the tree, in the same way the spiritual life is the most important thing for the existence of this universe, existence of all the human beings. If the spiritual life is not there they cannot exist.

Your Sahastrara is also like this very shriphala (coconut). It’s extremely dear to Mother. And this very Sahastrara should be surrendered to Her. Many people said to me yesterday that, “Mother, we feel the cool vibrations in the hands; also in the feet, but not here (Sahastrara).” Who presides there? Just know this and the coolness will come from here. And The ONE, who is sitting there is the fruit of all things.
The roots of this tree, fixed in the soil below, they are also born out of it. Its trunk, its hard work, its evolution – all this in the end becomes that fruit. Everything is inherent in that fruit. You put that fruit in the soil and again the whole of this thing will be born out. It is the meaning of everything. It is the ultimate of all.
In the whole world, whatever work of God has taken place until this day, whatever work He has done, its whole complete form, the form of its fruit is our MAHAYOGA of today! And who is its SWAMINI you know!
So, at such an auspicious time you have come on this earth and received this. So you should feel blessed and, becoming like this shriphala, you should be surrendered in offering. The fruit is only removed from the tree when it is mature; otherwise it is useless. Before it is mature it cannot be offered to Mother. Therefore develop maturity. Give up childishness.
Till childishness remains you will keep sticking to the tree. But for offering, what is the use of the fruit which is sticking to the tree? Only when it is removed from the tree and then offered is the puja considered accomplished.
So, to help you understand Sahaja Yoga in a very great symbolic form sakshat shriphala श्रीफल itself is standing before you. It is indeed a great blessing that, here, today, all of us have gathered and in this great celebration all these trees have also given us company. They are also resounding (nadita नादित) with all the things; they are also vibrating (spandita स्पंदित), and they are also listening and dancing to the same rhythm.
They also understand the special significance of the whole thing. In the same way you also have shriphala in you. Fully mature it. There is only one way to mature it: that you must have concord with your heart. The important thing is to become one with the heart. There is no difference between the heart and the brain. From the heart we desire and from the brain it is fulfilled. When both the things become one, only then will you be fully benefitted
