74th Wedding Anniversary of the Marriage of Shri Mataji and Sir CP
Dear Family,
Jai Shri Mataji!
In celebration of Shri Mataji and Sir CP’s wedding Anniversary, we wish to share quotes from Shri Mataji about the importance of marriage. We have also brought together a short video presentation of the 59th Wedding Anniversary held at Burwood Ashram Sydney 6th April 2007.
With Love

“Today is the anniversary day of the wedding, and I have allowed them to celebrate it because marriage is very important in Sahaja Yoga. It is one of the most important things for Sahaja Yoga, that one should get married…
Now I have been married, I think thirty-sixth year is this [of] My marriage today. There’s so many years have passed but still I still feel like a bride with My husband because really we have been very wise people to live like that. And of course, there are ups and downs, but ultimately one feels very different about the whole thing. He has sent a beautiful letter today, thanking you all for your kindness shown to Me, and for all the kindness you have shown to him…
So, marriage is a very big blessing in Sahaja Yoga because all the Gods and all the angels are watching these marriages and They will see to it that these marriages are successful…”
HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Shri Gruha Lakshmi Puja 7 April 1981, Sydney, Australia
“Marriages are important, because they help Sahaja Yoga. Not because they go against Sahaja Yoga. So, more time must be spent with Sahaja Yoga activities, both of you should work it out. And not that we should have a nice holiday together, or sort of a thing like that, you’ll never enjoy. You cannot enjoy holiday without Sahaja yogis being there. Now these are your holidays, these are your festivals, these are your enjoying places.”

“I don’t know what to say about our married life and kind of life I had to go through. I don’t think it was anything sacrificing or anything difficult for Me. I am a different type of person you know that. And to Me, everything was quite alright. But outside people might think that way but the main thing was Sahaja Yoga for Me which I have achieved by which you all have got your self-realization…
So, life can be very-very interesting if you learn how to enjoy and this enjoyment comes to you through your Spirit. As you are awakened now you are realized souls. You are enjoying the music. Some of you might have not understood Punjabi language may be that but everybody was enjoying. What you were enjoying was the Spirit which was enjoying the music …So, see that you enjoy each and everything whatever is there try to enjoy. Because now you have got such a lot of energy from the Divine…
…My greatest desire to see that the world should change…
I am thankful to you for celebrating this wedding anniversary and … we got married but all the time I was thinking that I will be able to establish Sahaja Yoga in this world. That’s what you people are here to begin to give Me that satisfaction.
So, thank you very much.”
