Observing the Anniversary of H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
In Remembrance of H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/23/12 -- On February 23, 2012, people all over the world are observing the anniversary of the passing of H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, founder of Sahaja Yoga one year ago. Shri Mataji, as she was affectionately called, was recognized by many as the most eminent World Spiritual leader of the Century.
Born in India on March 21, 1923, Shri Mataji's unique spiritual predisposition was immediately apparent to all who met her, including Mahatma Gandhi. She knew from a very young age that she had a unique gift and wanted first to show, by her own example, the perfect compatibility of a deeply spiritual life with the ordinary life of a householder.
As a young woman, Shri Mataji studied medicine and psychology at the Christian Medical College in Ludhiana and the Balakram Medical College in Lahore. In 1947, shortly before India's independence, she married Chandrika Prasad (CP) Srivastava, a high-ranking civil servant. The couple had two daughters, Kalpana and Sadhana, and Mrs. Srivastava spent the following years as a housewife, raising her children and caring for her husband in his new role as principal secretary to the then Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri.
When their daughters were married and settled Shri Mataji began her public spiritual work. Thus, on the 5th of May, 1970, while in meditation on a lonely beach of Nargol (India), she discovered the secret to en-masse Self-Realization through which thousands of people could achieve union with the deepest, most subtle aspect of their being, thereby triggering a process of spiritual self-transformation. Sahaja Yoga was born!
Since then Shri Mataji had dedicated her life to the spiritual ascent of mankind, visiting every corner of the world, granting people the experience of Self-Realization and communicating her message of integration and harmony. She reclaimed the role of women in the spiritual realm and laid the groundwork for a society based on enlightened spiritual awareness.
Over a forty-year period, her vision for a world of peaceful, balanced, enlightened people grew from a handful of devotees to an internationally recognized movement, which led to her receiving the United Nations Peace Medal and nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. She has built hospitals, schools, music and art academies, shelters for abused women and children, based around the practice of Sahaja Yoga, as well as the all-important centres for meditation.
It is estimated that millions of people in more than hundred countries around the world are continuing to teach Her meditation techniques, without charge. She is remembered by her words, "You cannot know the meaning of life until you are connected to the power that created you." It is that connection that she sought to give to so many.
