Dear Family,
Jai Shri Mataji!
The Queensland collective would like to invite everyone to join a Mahasamadhi event happening at 8.30pm Sydney time from Wamuran Ashram (located near Brisbane).
This event is being streamed as part of the 21 Weeks Ashram series that is currently underway after seekers successfully completed the 21 Days Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced programs held late last year. A special website has been created to support and nurture these seekers www.yogis.com.au/ashram
It will be quite special in a way that these seekers, who have become newly established Sahaj Yogis, will also have the opportunity to take part in this beautiful event to give thanks to Mother for having come on this Earth to share Her love and knowledge.
So do join us if you can to collectively commemorate this day.

Shri Mataji’s Life and Her Mahasamadhi
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.
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.
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.
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!
It is estimated that millions of people, in more than one 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.

Mahasamadhi 2011
On 23rd February 2011, our beloved Mother, Shri Mataji, decided to leave the physical aspect of this most auspicious Incarnation and handed over the responsibility to all those realized souls who recognized the tangible flowing ambrosia of Divine love. It is after all God’s love, and the responsibility lies on them who recognize it, to take this further across shores and man-made boundaries.
