The miracle of the Blowtorch

Summary:

The Miracle of the Blowtorch

In 1981, while Shri Mataji was overseeing renovation work at Her house in Brompton Square, London, a miraculous event occurred witnessed by several Sahaja Yogis. Shri Mataji, dressed in a highly flammable synthetic sari, walked near a lit blowtorch that had been carelessly left on. As She passed, the flame leapt out and formed a glowing ring around Her sari but did not harm Her. The fire circled Her and then mysteriously returned back into the torch.

Devotees, shocked and fearful, tried to intervene to protect Her, but Shri Mataji remained calm and unaffected. Smiling, She explained, “The fire is just doing aarti to Me,” and later said, “I am the fire, how could it hurt Me?”

The incident left a deep impression on all present, revealing Her divine nature and command over the elements.




ब्लोटॉर्च का चमत्कार

1981 में, जब श्री माताजी लंदन के ब्रॉम्पटन स्क्वायर स्थित अपने घर में मरम्मत कार्य की निगरानी कर रही थीं, तब एक अद्भुत चमत्कार घटित हुआ, जिसे कई सहज योगियों ने साक्षात अनुभव किया। श्री माताजी, जो एक अत्यधिक ज्वलनशील सिंथेटिक साड़ी पहने हुई थीं, एक जलते हुए ब्लोटॉर्च के पास से गुज़रीं जिसे लापरवाही से चालू छोड़ दिया गया था। जैसे ही वे उसके पास से गुज़रीं, अग्नि की लौ बाहर निकली और उनके साड़ी के चारों ओर एक प्रकाशमान अग्निचक्र बना, पर उन्हें कोई नुकसान नहीं हुआ। वह आग उनके चारों ओर घूमी और फिर रहस्यमय ढंग से वापस ब्लोटॉर्च में चली गई।

भक्तजन, भयभीत और चकित होकर, उन्हें बचाने के लिए आगे बढ़े, लेकिन श्री माताजी पूरी तरह शांत और अप्रभावित रहीं। मुस्कराते हुए उन्होंने कहा, "यह अग्नि तो मेरी आरती कर रही है," और बाद में कहा, "मैं ही अग्नि हूं, मुझे यह कैसे जला सकती है?"

इस घटना ने वहां मौजूद सभी लोगों के मन में गहरी छाप छोड़ दी, और उनके दिव्य स्वरूप तथा तत्वों पर उनके अधिकार को प्रकट किया।

Once we were in Shri Mataji’s house in Brompton Square, London, in 1981. It was being

redecorated and Mother was walking around and directing people. She would tell us where

paintings and other decorations were to go and what colour this door or that window frame

was to be painted.

Shri Mataji, wearing a highly inflammable nylon sari, walked towards a blowtorch which was

on the floor in the middle of the room and as She passed very close to it, the flame went

from the nozzle completely around Shri Mataji two or three times, forming a ring a few

centimetres away from the sari.

A flame leapt out of the torch

Shri Mataji was wearing a synthetic nylon sari, blue and white, and walking around amid the

rubble and dust. I was in a room where some people were making plaster moldings to go on

cornices. Some other people had been working in the room too and someone had left a

blowtorch burning, which is a most unwise thing to do. I had used blowtorches for many

years and knew how dangerous they were and was always careful to turn them off when not

using them. It was pointing into the middle of the room and Mother walked in.

She walked straight in front of it. A flame leapt out of the torch, then went round Her

synthetic sari below knee height in a blue ring, then back into the torch. While all this was

happening, I was horrified and took a dive across the room to move the torch, landing in an

undignified heap, lying on my stomach at Shri Mataji’s Feet – anything to protect Our Holy

Mother.

Aarti

Shri Mataji took me by the hand and led me all the way round the house, which was

wonderful, so it was great not being picked to help anyone (because I was new, and did not

know anybody, no one had picked me for their team of workers). Then we went up into this

room, and I saw these people with blowtorches, and I was standing there, holding Shri

Mataji’s hand. I remember seeing people sprawled on the floor, with blowtorches, and the

flame touched the edge of Shri Mataji’s sari. The sari seemed to catch fire, then the flame

went all the way round the sari and I thought, ‘Oh no, this is the end,’ and then it went back

into the torch. Shri Mataji was laughing

‘The fire is just doing aarti to Me,’ She said.

I am the fire 

When we realised what had happened, we looked up in amazement to find Shri Mataji

smiling down at us.

‘I am the fire, how could it hurt Me?’ Shri Mataji said, and She went on Her way to supervise

putting in some pipes in the next room.

 सब को दुआ देना... यह प्रसिद्ध सहज योग भजन 'सबको दुआ देना' की सुंदर और प्रेरणादायक कहानी है। गगनगिरी महाराज नाथ संप्रदाय के एक महान हठ योगी थे। वे चालुक्य सम्राट पुलकेशिन प्रथम के वंशज थे। छोटी उम्र में ही घर छोड़ने के बाद, वे शीघ्र ही नाथ संप्रदाय के संपर्क में आ गए। नाथ संप्रदाय के योगियों के साथ वे बत्तीस शिराळा (महाराष्ट्र) आए और वहीं उन्हें नाथ संप्रदाय की दीक्षा प्राप्त हुई। उन्होंने कई वर्षों तक छाती तक गहरे पानी में खड़े रहकर कठोर तपस्या की। पानी में मछलियों ने उनके पैरों का एक बड़ा हिस्सा खा लिया, लेकिन वे अपनी तपस्या में अविचल बने रहे। लगभग 1975-1977 के दौरान, श्री माताजी निर्मला देवी उनसे मिलने गगन बावड ा के किले पर गईं। किले पर चढ़ते समय बहुत तेज बारिश होने लगी और वे पूरी तरह भीग गईं। जब वे किले पर पहुँचीं, तो महाराज बहुत क्रोधित थे। वे बोले, “माँ, आपने मुझे बारिश क्यों नहीं रोकने दी? क्या यह मेरे अहंकार की परीक्षा थी?” श्री माताजी मुस्कुराईं और कहा, “मुझे पता था कि आप मेरे लिए एक साड़ी लाए हैं, और यह भी पता था कि हम संन्यासियों द्वारा दी गई साड़ी स्वीकार नहीं कर सक...

The Healing of Anantrao and His Family Through Sahaja Yoga

 AN EXPERIENTIAL TREATISE On SAHAJA YOGA,  WRITTEN BY V. N .PHADKE,  A SAHAJA YOGI  Summary The Healing of Anantrao and His Family Through Sahaja Yoga Anantrao Reddy was first introduced to Sahaja Yoga during a program at Shri Mataji’s Prabhadevi residence, where he was found having a strong possession that was diagnosed by vibrations. He began visiting Phadke’s house for daily guidance, where he gradually improved through chakra treatments, vibrated water, and meditation. Despite health issues like a weak heart, he began feeling 15 years younger after a week of treatment. As his involvement deepened, Phadke discovered the real cause of Anantrao’s persistent chakra catches: possession by the soul of, Tatya Maharaj, whose belongings Anantrao still kept. Once these items were discarded into the sea, his condition improved somewhat—but not fully. Later, Phadke found that Anantrao also had his late wife's photo on the wall, which showed heavy catches. He warned that her ...
