Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Jai Shri Mataji!
By Mother’s Grace, we are overjoyed to announce the start of the Sahaja Marriages activities for 2024.
IMPORTANT DATES
Applications will be accepted online by the IMC from the 13th of May until the 30th of June 2024.
Announcements will be done live in Cabella as usual during the week before the Marriage ceremony, tentatively from Tuesday evening 27th August, and will be streamed online.
Marriages will take place on the most auspicious occasion of Shri Ganesha Puja weekend, on 1st September 2024 in Cabella.
In order to be constantly updated on events, status of the process and potential changes, we advise all applicants to download on their mobile phone the “Nirmala Vidya” mobile app (available both for Android and Apple phones), that includes a section for IMC news. Marriage evening program date will be communicated through this channel.
APPLICATIONS PROCESS
Similar to last year, we will collect Sahaja Marriage applications and manage the approval process online, on the IMC Marriage Portal for all countries. The Portal, built on a business-grade platform for higher security and confidentiality, will be used to digitize only the submission and approval of applications. The matching process will be performed by printing the forms and offering them at Shri Mataji’s Lotus Feet in Cabella, for collective vibrations taking.
Access to the Portal is by invitation only, i.e. no applicant can self-register. Applicants need to be referred by the country coordinator or a delegate from the coordinator/council in charge of marriages.
Please refer to your coordinator for further information about the marriage process in your country and the Marriage Portal.
Please refer to the following documents, distributed to all country coordinators:
- Sahaja Marriage Principles and Protocol (Download)
- Sahaja Marriage Portal guide for applicants (Download)
These documents can be provided to applicants by the coordinator, or can be downloaded from within the Portal, after logging in, at the top of the Marriage Application form page.
We kindly ask you to carefully read the information in those documents, which give all the details about marriages arranged by the International Marriage Committee.
MARRIAGE WORKSHOPS FOR APPLICANTS
To provide more information about Sahaja Marriages, and clarify any doubts, we will be holding two online workshops where we will explain the process. The workshops are identical, you do not need to attend both.
Session 1: 12th May 2024 – 10am Cabella time or 6pm Sydney time
Session 2: 12th May 2024 4pm Cabella time or 13th May 12am Sydney time
Both workshops will have a duration of about 2 hours and will include a short video of Shri Mataji, a presentation about Sahaja Marriages, and details about this year’s process. They will be recorded, too, and remain available for all the applicants who could not join. You will be able to submit live questions during the workshop via WhatsApp or e-mail.

We hope to be able to meet again soon at the Lotus Feet of Shri Mataji in celebration of this most joyful event for our Sahaja family.
With love and respect,
International Marriage Committee
