"To see so many Sahaja Yogis assembled here, I’m sure the devil must have run away long time back."Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi - August 23, 1986 - Shri Krishna Puja, Schwarzsee
"So we have to understand first of all that we’re Sahaja Yogis. We’re not ordinary people or we’re not people who have not known the truth; we have known the truth. We have to be completely aware of it."Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi - August 23, 1986 - Shri Krishna Puja, Schwarzsee
"You should always meet collectively, meditate collectively, live collectively, and try to find ways and methods of being collective."Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi - August 23, 1986 - Shri Krishna Puja, Schwarzsee
Life is for us to enjoy, nothing else."Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi - August 23, 1986 - Shri Krishna Puja, Schwarzsee
Shri Mataji was welcomed by around 350 Sahaja Yogis from several countries, and by the Hotel Manager who was very happy to meet Her. She addressed the Yogis before and after the Pooja, as She wished to celebrate it in the evening according to the birth of Shri Krishna.
On Sunday morning, while having Her morning tea in Her room, She commented: “we can hear the cowbells, this is like Gokul, the real land of Shri Krishna”.
At the end of the Pooja, 16 crowns from different countries/cultures were offered to Her...
