4th Night of Navaratri – Varad-vinayaka Chaturthi, Wednesday 2nd October

Dear Family,

Jai Shri Mataji!

Today we offer H.H. Shri Mataji’s Talk from an evening during Navaratri 1997 in Cabella – entitled Nature and Balance.

HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Shri Devi Puja, 29 March 1985, Dharamshala India

Litany for the doom of Materasura

During the evening program for Navaratri in 1997 after some musical performances and a play by the English, the Swiss Sahaja Yogis acted in a play where they openly denounced the Swiss bank (about its money laundering etc.). Ultimately they recited the “Litany for the doom of Materasura”, the demon of materialism which is in the presentation booklet below. A YouTube video of the Swiss Sahaja Yogis’ play is also below.

HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi – 4th Day of Navaratri, Eve of Navaratri Puja, Talk: Materialism, Nature and Balance & Evening Program Cabella Saturday, October 4th, 1997

“Materialism comes because people have gone mad with their greed. I was searching a house in England – went round to see houses, and I was surprised that all kinds of plastic things and mixed things and all that, were piled up in mountains in every house, mountains!

And you pass through a door you will find two legs of a pant falling on you. But not only in England, same in Paris: I’ve seen people accumulating so much of nonsense that they don’t know where to put it and what to do. This madness is on and on and on.

Now, I have found out a solution for Sahaja Yogis, what they should do. They should try to encourage handicrafts.

Every country I went to, I bought handicrafts, whether it was Czechoslovakia or England or anywhere. I cannot understand – how can you go and buy this rubbish of plastic, of these useless things?

And these handicrafts, when I bought, I was surprised – I must tell you about Czechoslovakia that there were small, small, very small shops and they all came, one by one, “Mother, buy something from us also, Mother buy something from us”.

You know, I was surprised, such beautiful things. They said, “We cannot sell them.”

But all nonsensical things people are buying.

So for Sahaja Yogis, they must take a vow that “we’ll only take things which are handmade”. You need not have many things, you can have few, but something handmade.”
