Dear Yogis,
Jai Shri Mataji!
Below is the latest newsletter update from the Meditate Australia Tour (MAT) for you to enjoy. Many yogis are working together to take our Divine Mother’s gift of Sahaja Yoga to the people of Australia by visiting over 30 towns and cities during July 2019. Also below is a short promotional video for the Tour that will be used as part of tomorrow’s World Yoga Day webcast.
MAT Newsletter Wednesday 19th June 2019
No big deal but…
The Meditate Australia Tour is nearly here!
Dear Yogis,
A LOT has been happening this week. Here is an update for you with only two weeks to go! First, a beautiful testimony we received over the phone this week:
Aunty Saras is very excited for the tour to be coming to Toowoomba and believes it will really boost the progress and atmosphere for Sahaj in the area. She is the only yogi currently living in the area, about 2 hours away from Brisbane and spreading Sahaj here has been particularly challenging. It is traditionally quite a Christian and religious city but now more migrant families are moving in so slowly peoples perspectives are changing. While practices like mindfulness and heartfulness are creeping in, this change also presents an opportunity for Sahaja yoga to be present in the community here.
Aunty is also looking forward to the Havan that will be offered in Toowoomba. It was one of the first things she started preparing when she heard the tour was coming. We hope the tour will give Toowoomba the vibrational life that it needs for the spread of Sahaja Yoga here and around the country!

- All in all, we now have 62 touring yogis confirmed.
The Tour is getting very close so please, dear yogis, keep the tour in your enlightened attention. One more big bandhan for its success and that people may feel the pure joy, ever flowing from our holy Mother’s hands. We pray that it all works out in a Sahaja way!
Jai Shri Mataji!
All our love,
Croiagh, Shivani and Jahnavi
