Introduction to Sahaja Yoga, for seekers of Truth
Nicolas Chrissakis
Dear Seakers of Truth,
Here are some portions of a talk of Sri Mataji Nirmala Devi, who is the founder
of Sahaja Yoga (Effortless, Natural, Spontaneous Union). Sahaja Yoga deals
with the actual experience of Self Realization. No reading books, talking or
mental projections is needed to have your Self-Realization. At the Presence of
Sri Mataji Nirmala Devi or at the presence of a Sahaja Yogi anyone can have
his Self Realization. How it works it is described in this talk which you can
have if you mail me your E-address so I can send it to you. Include your address
so I can point you to one of the Sahaja Yoga centers near you where you can
have your Self- Realization. Reading this document will not give you your
Self Realization only if you go to the Sahaja Yoga centers you can have
the actual experience of Self-Realization. All Sahaja Yoga meetings are for free
I have benefit from Sahaja Yoga and I feel that a lot of people will
like to know about it seens there is a lot of seeking of the Truth in our times.

------Included portions of the talk called, An Unique Discovery 14 pages-------
Man in his search of joy and happiness is running away from
his Self, which is the real source of joy. He finds himself
very ugly and boring because he doesn't know his Self. A human
being seeks joy in money or possessions, ......
To understand life, consider the case of something that is
living: a germinating seed. The seed grows by itself into a
tree, blooms into flowers,........
The shape of the human brain is prism-like. So, the column of
rays falling on it gets refracted into four diverse channels
corresponding to the four aspects of the nervous system.
These are:
1. Parasympathetic nervous system
2. Sympathetic nervous system (right)......
Medical science knows very little about this system. Science
calls it the autonomous nervous system, meaning the system
that works spontaneously-on its own. For example, if we want
to increase the rate of our heartbeat, we can do so by exerting
ourselves (activity of the sympathetic .......
The left side sympathetic nervous system (libido) has the power
to store all that is dead in us. It connects you with store
houses of the subconscious mind and with the collective subcon-
scious (Bhootlok or Paralok)......
DANGEROUS TECHNIQUES
There is another method that may be effortlessly employed by
many so called teachers. This method, by which they turn the
chakra in the direction of the libido, can put you into your
subconscious. .....
All mesmeric powers such as materialization power (enslaving
masses for money or fame), visionary powers (Drishti Siddha),
speech powers (Vani Siddha), curing powers, transcendental
feelings (powers of switching off the mind), separation of body,
and many other powers, are very ordinarily found among those who
practice the control of spirits (Pretsiddhi or Smashan Vidya)....
THE PROMISED GOAL
All religions have promised inner silence when you reach the
state of Self-realization-the inner miracle of the subtle aware-
ness and not gross jugglery. ....
The pupils of the eyes become dilated (Parasympathetic action).
The face becomes radiant, the body becomes light, all tension is
completely removed. The rising of the Kundalini can be seen by
others and felt by the aspirant. First the throbbing is clearly
felt at Sahasrar (apex of the brain) and when it stops, complete
silence is felt within and in all awareness. The flow of grace
is felt coming down, cooling the whole being. As the atten-
tion moves to the subtle, gross attachments drop out. A person
gradually loses identification with falsehood and artificial-
ity........
On the tree of life there might have been very few flowers but
now the blossom time has come. Their fragrance of longing has
collectively materialized the manifestation of Sahaja Yoga. Many
are going to jump into the realm of thoughtless awareness where
you get introduced to yourself and start identifying with your
universal nature. Those who deserve will get the throne of their
inner being which rules the skies of peace, and the oceans of
divine love and supreme knowledge within, which is limitless
(Anant).

I guess that's us, isn't it?

Okay. So, um, what exactly IS "Self-realization"? Why should I seek it?
| No reading books, talking or mental projections is needed to have your

| presence of a Sahaja Yogi anyone can have his Self Realization. [...]
| Reading this document will not give you your Self Realization. Only if
| you go to the Sahaja Yoga centers you can have the actual experience of
| Self-Realization.
This seems a bit self-contradictory. No talking, no reading, no 'mental
projections', but you DO have to go to one of these centers. Doesn't that
seem just a little bit strange? What's so special about these places that
you can't acheive self-realization without them?
| All Sahaja Yoga meetings are for free
They'd better be.
