“Every moment becomes a past.” – Shri Mataji

Dear Family,

Jai Shri Mataji!

Today we celebrate the auspicious occasion of Shri Mahavira’s birthday.

We take this opportunity to express our gratitude to HH Shri Mataji in the form of Shri Mahavira for giving us the knowledge and methods to clear our left channel.
With our attention on clearing our own left channel, we pray that we may imbibe all of Shri Mahavira’s qualities.

This week’s theme is: “Every moment becomes a past.”

Below we offer:

“Sahaja Yogis do get caught up. That’s why, I think, this Mahavira Jayanti is a very, very great thing for us to observe.”

“Every moment becomes a past. Every present becomes a past. Then we have past of this lifetime, and also we have past of our previous lives. Then all the past is built in within us since our creation.”

…
“Now, when we know all this, still we get caught up on the left side. Sahaja Yogis do get caught up. That’s why, I think, this Mahavira Jayanti is a very, very great thing for us to observe.”

…
“Now, why was He called Mahavira? Because only a person like Him – “Vira” means a person who is brave, who is chivalrous, because only He could do this, so only He could enter into the being fully and could kill or, you can say, destroy those horrible rakshasas, devils, all these negative things that come to us.

Now, as you know, we use left side very much for so many negativity that is torturing us. But if there is no help, say, from Mahavira, we cannot do it. You call the name of Mahavira – you could call Him Saint Michael, you can call Him by any name, but Mahavira because He was a human being. All this works out because of Him and He’s such a great identity. He Himself took a birth as a human being, difficult for saints to take birth as human being.”
