Regional participation
We really want to encourage our brothers and sisters living in the regional collectives (i.e. Cairns, Gold Coast, Central NSW Coast, Newcastle, Wollongong, Bunbury etc) to hold public programs or Realisation pop up stalls sometime during the week before or after Sahasrara Day. If you are a regionally based Yogi and are keen please contact us so we can assist with promotions and attention. Contact: [email protected]
The beginning of World Realisation Day
This lovely approach to collectively spreading Sahaja Yoga throughout the world, started in 2006 in Europe under the banner of European Realisation Day with hundreds of European cities participating. Many public programs were held all over the world in the following years.
The World Foundation declared 5th May World Realisation Day: http://shrimataji.org/site/press/may-5th-world-realization-day-in-honour-of-shri-mataji-nirmala-devi.html
In 2018, let’s continue to reignite this wonderful initiative and hold public programs throughout Australia!
Love,
Andre Maynard & Lyn Vasudeva on behalf of the Australian Council & Australian Collective

“…you have to create Sahaja yogis”
“You have to create something: may be art, may be music, may be poetry, may be literature, may be writing – whatever it is, you have to create. And above all, you have to create Sahaja yogis. That’s the main creation you have to achieve. That’s the main thing you have to have, is creating Sahaja yogis all over. And there I can go to places, can have programs, do everything. But you have to show with your own example that this is something great, how they have achieved this state; we should achieve also that state. So you will be the ones who will really inspire them, who will really make them follow you and take to a life of a Sahaja yogi.”
HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, 20 August 2000, Shri Krishna Puja, Cabella, Italy

“People go out of the way to spread Sahaja Yoga.”
“This is the power by which a drop becomes the ocean, an individual becomes the collective. So, all your powers that are there are enlightened by this all-pervading power. It transforms you and it has such a beautiful, delicate way of handling everything. The only thing that is needed is faith in this power, that only by having love for others and this enlightened love is going to give you whatever you want. And that there is such a power, all-pervading power. There is no doubt about it and we have to just accept it with our open heart that it fills it and makes us a great personality. So, there is no competition, there is no ambition, there is no jealousy, nothing of that kind. The only desire is then left that as I am enjoying myself let others also enjoy. People go out of the way to spread Sahaja Yoga. They work very hard, travel with very little money, they try to convince people, do all kinds of things for no material gain. But the greatest joy is when you see that you have risen the Kundalini of another person and given him a self-realisation. That lits up your faces I have seen many a times. Let this love grow more and more! They ask Me why, of all the places, I came to Togliatti. Not for Wolga, not for these beautiful houses you have, but for my children who are here. May God bless you!” [applause]
HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, 3 August 1993, Shri Adi Shakti Puja, Togliatti, Russia
