35th Anniversary of the establishment of “Vishwa Nirmala Dharma”
&
Makar Sankranti Puja

Dear Sahaj Family,

Jai Shri Mataji!

35th Anniversary of the establishment of “VND”

On 19th January 1985, on the majestic occasion of Shri Krishna Puja in Nasik, our most Beloved Divine Mother announced to the world that the dharma of Sahaja Yoga would be called “Vishwa Nirmala Dharma” ((VND), the Universal Pure Religion. To be precise, Shri Mataji first mentioned this on 18th January as on the 19th, She said “Yesterday, in the lecture I gave a new announcement about Sahaja Yoga…”

To celebrate the 35th Anniversary of the announcement of Vishwa Nirmala Dharma, we will offer a Puja to Shri Mataji in Her Form of Shri Vishwa Nirmala Dharma Prasthapini during this Saturday’s collective program. 

Makar Sankranti Puja

“I thought we can call it ‘Universal Nirmala Religion’ (Vishwa Nirmala Dharma). What do you say to that?”

Shri Krishna Puja, Announcement of ‘Vishwa Nirmala Dharma’ Nashik India, 19th January 1985 (27mins)

There was a question that, in America and in England, no trust which is not a religion can be registered. Of course, Sahaja Yoga is the religion, no doubt, is the universal religion, is a religion that integrates all the religion, brings all the principles of religions together and shows the – shows the oneness. It integrates all the incarnations. It integrates all the scriptures. It’s a very integrating great religion which we can call as the universal religion and, in Hindi, it is called as Vishwa Dharma.

Now to make it more particular, I thought that if you say universal religion then it may not be that particular because like the Buddhist, then we have got people who are called after Christ as Christians and after other people according to the incarnations. So, this time the incarnation being Nirmala, I thought we can call it “The Religion, which is Universal, in the name of Nirmala.” So, to make it short, I thought we can call it “Universal Nirmala Religion”. What do you say to that?

Now Nirmala, you’ll be all called as ‘Nirmalites’. Is the one who have been enlightened by Nirmala, it goes, light shabda (word) goes, the word light goes very well with you people because you are enlightened. Others are just lights without any flame. So this is Nirmalites, means the ones who are being enlightened by Nirmala. So, if you like the name, we can call it ‘Universal Nirmala Religion’. If that suits your people in the west, I think that’s a good name. So we have now proclaimed and pronounced that this is a religion which is a pure universal religion. When you say Universal Nirmala means pure or immaculate religion. And I hope you are agreeable to that.
