Collective Bandhans

“So there are problems and problems, problems are physical, then we have problems, can say, problems of particular type of life you’re leading, or problems of the country where you’re living, all kinds of problems are there. Now all these problems also can be solved collectively. Now supposing you think there’s a problem here, some people told Me that there’s no proper democracy. All right, you all sit down and give  bandhan, all of you, give bandhan together for this problem and it will be solved.Any kind of a basic problem which is corroding the life of people in any country can be solved very simply. For example, I was in Italy and they told Me that, “Mother, there’s so much of corruption in Italy, what do we do about it?” They’re Sahaja Yogis. I said, “All right, you give a bandhan.” They gave a bandhan, you know half of the people are now in jail, it has worked.

Same in India; in India there’s too much corruption. They told Me, “Mother now what to do about this India where the people are so corrupt.” I said again, “You give a bandhan.” They gave a bandhanfor three days and half of the ministers are out of ministries. So this bandhan works very well and you have to use this bandhan for all kinds of big problems in the collective, any national problems or international problems, you can work it out on your bandhans and really you can solve the problems. It’s not so difficult, I must say it’s not so difficult.

Giving bandhan is a very good thing, works out in such a tremendous way and so efficiently, very efficiently it works out. It is doing it’s very different because they will say, “All right, I want to do it, then on the normal post you must pay so much money to the god or do this penance and penance.”

For you it is very simple, you just give a bandhan. But for problems which are collective problems you must give a collective whichever are personal you can give personal bandhan.”
