Prayer to Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Celebrating the Opening of the Sahasrara
(HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Sahasrara Puja Thredbo Australia 3rd May 1987)
Dearest Holy Mother, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi,
On this day, the 5th of May 2022, we the Sahaja Yogis of Australia humbly thank you for opening the Sahasrara Chakra for humanity on the 5th of May 1970.
Shri Mataji, by Your grace, human beings have been given the opportunity to experience a true connection with the all pervading power of divine love, the paramchaitanya.
You have given us the chance to know ourselves, to fulfil our potential, to know God, to become one with God. More than that, You have given us the ability to share this experience with our fellow human beings.
Shri Mataji, we cannot begin to express our deep gratitude for taking Your birth as Shri Adi Shakti, for walking amongst us in the physical realm and allowing us to worship You as the Great Mother.
Through your Divine incarnation, human beings have been awakened to reality, to truth, to the deep knowledge and awareness of the subtle Divine realm that pervades every dimension.
Shri Mataji, we love You with all our hearts, with every fibre of our being and we know You love us. Please fill our hearts with Your love.
Shri Mataji, we thank You again and again for blessing us with our self-realisation.
O Great Goddess, by Your Divine grace, may the Golden Age of enlightenment become manifest and may we be Your instruments to establish heaven on earth.
Shri Mataji, we adore You, all our life we give You, how we love You.
With humble and eternal gratitude, we bow at Your Holy Lotus Feet. How fortunate we are to recognise You, our Holy Mother.
With Love, from Your children of Australia

The Opening of Sahasrara Chakra (with Subtitles)
This video contains some excerpts from H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi describing the opening of the Sahasrara Chakra on the 5th May 1970 in Nargol India. (9 mins)
“Something special has happened to you,”
H.H Shri Mataji Sahasrara Puja: Thredbo (Australia) May 3rd, 1987
“Something special has happened to you, that the whole of Brahmachaitanya, the whole Ocean has taken the form of a cloud – that’s Adi Shakti – and has come on this Earth to shower the chaitanya on you people, enrich you, nurture you, develop you, by manifesting the love in such a manner that you have entered into the body of the Adi Shakti.
…..
A simple thing I had requested you all, to put some ghee in the nose, which is a very simple thing but is very important. You all suffer from a very bad Hamsa, and one of the things that is a symptom in a AIDS case is a bad Hamsa. You’ll be vulnerable to AIDS – and a small thing like that is not observed. It has to be a religious obligation that you must listen to Me, whatever I say. Actually you must obey Me. My hand obeys Me, My fingers obey Me, My feet obey Me – what about you, who are raised to the great dignity and the great position of being the yogis in the body of the Adi Shakti, and they are acting as cells in My body?”

The need to go deeper.
H.H Shri Mataji Talk to Sahaja Yogis (3 days after Sahasrara Puja): Burwood Ashram Sydney 6th May, 1987
“To work out many things of that kind we have to be deep people, we have to go much deeper within ourselves to touch our essences. That is, you know very well that all our chakras are made out of these essences, and when we go deep into ourselves, what we find that we can touch the elements very well. But while doing so, actually we move horizontally. When we start moving horizontally, at the core of it we find that there are these essences placed, and these essences then start exciting the essences across.
…
Now for example, as I told you the other day, if you don’t keep yourself all right. A simple thing I have told you, to put in the nose some ghee. It’s a very simple thing but that helps Me a lot, because that helps My Vishuddhi. But if you don’t do it I suck in, in any case, whatever problems you have, I suck in. I suck in the problem of Sahaja yogis, also the problem of the city where I am, also the problem of the country where I am, maybe of the whole universe. But My horizontal movement is quite large and is very subtle, and I do it quietly.”
