Dear Family,
Jai Shri Mataji!
On this most auspicious day, we celebrate Shri Buddha’s Birthday with meditation, music, prayer, and a divine lecture and Puja from Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi’s 1988 Shri Buddha Puja in California.
In Her talk, HH Shri Mataji shares deep insights into the essence of Buddha’s message – detachment, balance, and inner awakening. She highlights the importance of overcoming ego and attaining Self-Realisation as the foundation of true spiritual growth.
“In the light of Buddha you can see your ego very clearly. And He’s the killer of your ego, He’s the one who finishes off your ego.”
H.H. Shri Mataji ~ Shri Buddha Puja California USA, 23 July 1988

“So what we have to do is to establish ourselves in Buddha.”
“So what we have to do is to establish ourselves in Buddha. That is to establish within ourselves in our Spirit. Unless and until we are established in our Spirit, we cannot understand the intricacies of all the ignorance that we have around. So the best way to understand Sahaja Yoga is to establish yourself in the Spirit. But those who are not intelligent, those who are stupid, those who are selfish and greedy do not see this point. And they do not like it if a leader tells them that, “You must establish in Sahaja Yoga, that you should have your Spirit manifested.” They don’t want to listen to it. They want to be in the group of Sahaja Yogis because they don’t want to be lonely. They would like to sing songs, music, everything in Sahaja Yoga because they want somewhere to fit in, because they want an identity, they call themselves Sahaja Yogis. But this identity is a false identity. You have to be identified with your Spirit. That is the part is, “Buddham Sharanam Gachami.”
