Ganesha puja — 1983 — Nasik |  Print    version  |

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi  

Nasik, India
18 January 1983  

It is such a fortunate day today that we should come on the birth of Shri Ganesha – today is Vinayak Chaturthi, today – that we should celebrate this puja. Also, it is so fortunate to have people like Dr Sangavi, his wife and his son, his daughter-in-law, who are so much dedicated to Sahaja Yoga.

In 1972 I had visited Pune – Nasik, and we had a big session here. People from all over came; we got a lot of Sahaja yogis here. Raulbai is one of them. But the people of Nasik did not come forward much to do Sahaja Yoga, and sort of we didn’t find any footing place here, so we gave up coming to Nasik. And today after so many days, now I’m back here, and it’s so surprising how we have been able to manage. So many people yesterday, about – they are saying about ten thousand people were present. And at least I would say that ninety percent people got realization – at least.

Now, I have to say that the quality of people is very important, and in Maharashtra you must understand that there’s a quality. These people have a special quality of purity, I think, that invariably I’ve seen the amount of working it takes place in Maharashtra, doesn’t take place in other place. Perhaps the people are very much aware of the three-and-a-half peethas they have here. Now for – they are Jains and have been following Jainism but still they always worshipped the Goddess, the Devi. So, we can understand that what is an impact of those three-and-a-half peethas is, and you have visited the great shrine of Chaturshrungi.

[Yogi: Shri Mataji … Saptashrungi?]

I’m sorry, Saptashrungi. Today [Marathi] … Today being Ganesha’s day, only it is going to come chatura in My mouth! All right. So this Saptashrungi is the one who has got seven chakras, means the limbic area, and she’s the Sahastrara, representing the Sahastrara. That’s why she’s the ardha matra. And her face and body and all that you can see is so beautifully made that it emits vibrations for miles together. Those who are sensitive can feel it. And you have been so lucky to go there and see that miraculous place that this have come out of Mother Earth, and since ancient times it has been there; nobody knows when it appeared.

So we are in a very holy place, because as you know Sita lived here for so many years and Shri Rama was also with Her, and also Shri Lakshmana. So it is obvious that this is a big come of – we can say a, quite a big meeting place of various holy things that happened during the different periods of Maharashtra. And the River Godavari also flows and the, also the [Marathi] source, source of this river is also very near. Actually they wanted to take you down there, but it’s another high climb and I thought you will be all exhausted, so I told her better not take them. But normally those people who come to Nasik always go there.

And there is one sad incident was that there’s a Trimbakeshwar where is – there is one of the Jyotirlingas. There are twelve Jyotirlingas. Actually we should say they are fourteen because two of them are half, so.… There are twelve Jyotirlingas, and the complete are ten. Out of them, one of them is here. But the gentleman was quite funny and he said that those who are not Hindus we cannot admit there. So it’s again all nonsense going on which will all stop one day, I’m sure, because they have no sense how to recognize the saints, you see. And once they start recognizing the saints, they will know that they are the first who should go inside, than those who are not realized. Moreover, for Shiva doesn’t matter whether they are even bhoots, doesn’t matter to Him. His temple need not be so guarded. Any other temple I can understand, but Shiva’s I can’t understand why there is so much guarding is needed. But I think it’s a money-making proposition.

Whatever it is, it brings to My notice all these nonsensical things that are going on in this country. And then one starts realizing that how much people have to open out themselves and give up fear from people who are coming from other countries. They suffer, all of them – not only, not only the people who are religious but also people who are political, social; they are all frightened of foreigners coming in now in the country, and they always start doubting. And you can understand that’s why they doubt, but still they should also understand that in these advanced stages if there are saints, they should be able to recognize, and this is what’s lacking in them. And I was sad on that point, but doesn’t matter. I think next time I’ll put him right, this gentleman.

So on the whole our whole stay was, I think was very interesting and nice, and this evening we are going to have a very beautiful musical program, variety entertainment and classical music by children, which you, I’m sure you’ll all enjoy very much. That we’ll have here.

So on the whole we should be thankful to Mr Sangavi and to Mr Mehtani for organizing this stay in Nasik so well and with such comfort to all of us, and such elevating experiences which has brought you to something higher, and the experience of your own depth.

So may God bless you all.
