HH Shri Mataji on the significance of the “Adelaide” name
“Actually Adi-la. La is Lalita. La is Lalita and Adi the Primordial Lalita, and lalita is left sided. So it is to be taken from Adi-lada. Adi-lada. It comes from four words, Adi. Adi, la, da. Alright. So Adi-la. La means lalita and da means the one giver. So the giver of the Adi-lalita is Adi-laid. Alright it has a big name if you try to really see through it. I don’t know how they gave this name to this place. Why maybe the unconscious has done it.”

HH Shri Mataji spoke twice about the need for a Centre in Adelaide
“Adelaide people have to find an Ashram. Otherwise they are not Sahaja Yogis! You have to listen to Me. I’m for your good, for your benevolence, I want you to have that highest life.”
HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, Shri Kundalini Gauri Puja, Melbourne, 16 February 1992.
“So please in Adelaide, unless and until you have an Ashram I’m not going to come there.”
