Happy Guru Nanak Jayanti
Celebrating Shri Guru Nanak’s Birthday
Today Friday 19th November 2021
Dear Family,
Jai Shri Mataji!
Today, with celebrate the birthday of Shri Guru Nanak (1469-1539 AD, Punjab), the ninth incarnation of The 10 Primordial Masters (Adi Gurus) who taught morality and balance in preparation for spiritual ascent.
Guru Nanak sought neither to unite religions nor to create a new one, but taught that spiritual liberation can be achieved through inward meditation.
Born into a Hindu family near Lahore, he spoke of the oneness of God, salvation by faith and good works, and the equality and brotherhood of man. He also believed in the equality of women, and in universal religion. He advocated devotion of thought and excellence of conduct as the first of duties.
‘See the brotherhood of all mankind as the highest order of yogis; conquer your own mind, and conquer the world.’ Guru Nanak.
To celebrate this auspicious day, we have compiled a selection of video talks and music below:
- Shri Mataji’s video: “But He came to create amenity…”
- About the 10 Adi Gurus: A beautiful audio podcast recorded by a Sahaja Yogi.
- To our Beloved Guru: Guru Sloka from Shri Mataji’s Room Cabella.
With Love

“But He came to create amenity…”
“But His birth is important, because symbolically He came on this earth not to propagate any particular type of the void as Mohammad did, or say Moses did, David, Moses and then before that Abraham, Lao Tse, or Socrates, which followed into a religion. But He came to create amenity, amity we can say, to create understanding, to create unity between religions. This was a very big step for Sahaj Yoga. After that as you know, He was born again, God knows where, no one knows where He was born, but He appeared as Shirdi Sai Nath. He too said the same thing, that to talk ill of any religion is a sin.”
