HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi – Navaratri Puja Fifth Night Cabella 30 Sept 2022
“How to bring the purity. Just by developing thoughtless awareness…”
“Collectivity & Purity”
HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi – Shri Mahakali Puja, “Collectivity & Purity”. Le Raincy (France), 12 September 1990.
“Now this enjoyment cannot come to you if you do not have purity of your mind. Nirananda. You can get other anands of other, other things. Other, other chakras. How to bring the purity. Just by developing thoughtless awareness and looking at things without thinking. For that you have to be collective. If you are collective, I am there, wherever you are collective, wherever you gather, I am there and nothing gives me greater pleasure to hear that all of you are attending this program.”
…
So be careful, I of course bless you, with all the qualities of Bhairava, as He is the greatest disciple of Mahakali and He is the One who is running up and down, morning till evening every time, specially in the night He is working so very hard killing these horrible rakshasas, this, that, and achieving such results. We have to join Him, all of us, and work it out.”

“Drinking is the main problem”
HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi – Sashti. Sixth night of Navaratri, Sydney, 17 October 2007.
“See now, all your countries have indulged into drinking. All over Europe, you see, and it’s a little fight, because for them drinking is their life. And they can’t get out of it. But we have ways. We have to give them bandhans. If you give them bandhans, all of you put together, then they cannot run away. Bandhan has to be given. All of you should give bandhan. That’s how they have worked out in India. And India is, you know how Sahaja Yoga is strong there. The reason is if they find parents are not coming, or maybe children are not coming or whatever it is, they all work it out by giving them bandhans. But first thing, you should regularly come to SahajaYoga. Regularly. It is not half way, like today you come and then you don’t come. That’s not proper. That’s – you cannot progress. You have to come to the programmes, all of you, regularly. Because you know, realisation is not easy thing. Nobody had it before. Now you have got it. So you have to maintain it and keep it up. Once you start developing that, the female (or family?) of the house also changes.
Greatest problem of Europe is – real problem, that they drink. Drinking is the main problem. And that’s why they don’t want to come to Sahaja Yoga. But they can give their parents, but not Sahaja Yoga. This is the trouble with them. Parents can be given up, in case they do not take to Sahaja Yoga.”
