Sri Baba Mama brother of Shree Mataji, "My Memoirs"

 An Extract from the book written by Sri Baba Mama brother of Shree Mataji, "My Memoirs" : 


In August 1942, my father was in jail and the family was under financial stress. At such a juncture, Shri Mataji, who was studying in the Science College, decided to stop Her college on the 15th of August, our Independence Day, by picketing in front of the gate. My mother, though very conservative, did not object to Her political activity. As a protest, Shri Mataji decided to picket in front of Her college and stop all the students who were trying to enter. 

The Principal of the college was a good friend of the family, but he got orders from the British authorities to rusticate anybody who picketed or disobeyed the college rules. Mr. Krishnamurti, who was vice principal, was asked to go and persuade Shri Mataji to stop and to say that if She did not stop picketing, She would be given a college-leaving certificate. In those days, rustication meant that you could not seek admission into any other college.This proposal, when put to Shri Mataji, was refused immediately and She said that She would rather be rusticated than take favours from college authorities run by the British. Mr. Krishnamurti, having failed in persuading Shri Mataji from picketing, went back to the principal, Mr. Shabde, who was very much for the British, who dictated a letter rusticating Shri Mataji for obstructing students from coming to class, inciting disobedience and protesting against the running of the college.

 With great reluctance Mr. Krishnamurti handed the letter of rustication over to Shri Mataji. It is interesting to note that, after retirement, he settled down in Pune. In the year 1991, I think, an elderly Mr. Krishnamurti came and met Shri Mataji, touched Her Lotus Feet and said that he was ashamed that he had rusticated such a divine personality, but that having touched Her feet, all his past sins were washed away. Shri Mataji was very moved by his gesture and She said that what he had done then was his duty to the college and what She had done then was her duty to the nation, so there was no sin committed. At any rate, She never had any grievance or dislike for him as he was a very noble soul. He said that when he saw Her facing the British soldiers and their guns fearlessly, he thought, “She is the incarnation of Durga.”

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 ...

 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...

Her husband, also a doctor, had recently died under mysterious circumstances after vomiting blood, despite normal medical reports. Since his death, the family felt a strong, frightening presence in their bedroom—believed to be his dissatisfied spirit. They locked the room and were living in fear. Seeking help, the woman and her family were introduced to Sahaja Yoga. They were given realization, started meditating daily, and attended collective sessions. One day, on her wedding anniversary, the woman felt her husband's physical presence — he kissed her — which terrified her. She rushed to Phadke, who calmed her, checked her vibrations, and gave her vibrated kumkum to apply on specific chakras and around the house. Later, Sahaja Yogis collectively meditated in the haunted bedroom, feeling pressure on their chakras, indicating the spirit’s p...
