Dearest Family,
Jai Shri Mataji!
Tomorrow is Shri Rama’s Birthday!
Short Shri Rama Puja at Balmoral
During our Balmoral Wellness Camp, which commences on Sunday 24th March, we will hold a short Puja to Shri Rama from 12:30pm. Everyone is of course invited to Balmoral to worship HH Shri Mataji as Shri Rama.
We pray to our dearest Shri Mataji to bless us with the qualities of Shri Rama in our Collective right heart chakra and in all of us.
Shri Mataji’s talk on Shri Rama’s Birthday Puja…
“But the other one is very interesting, is that of Bharata, the brother. He showed how Shri Rama bestowed the kingdom to him because of His mother’s agitation. And he didn’t know what to do. So, he went back to Rama and he said, “You take back Your kingdom. I don’t want anything. You are the one who should govern. Why should I have it?” So Rama said, “All right, you just be there in charge of the kingdom. I have to obey My father, I have to obey My mother because I have given them a promise.”
So, Shri Rama’s another great quality was: once given a promise is to be kept. This is another quality we have to have, that if you have promised anything, you have to keep it. If you have said, “I will do this,” you must do it. You should not find out excuses to avoid it. It’s absolutely an anti-God activity to avoid doing things that you have promised. Your deities will never be happy. You must see that whatever you have promised you must do.”

“The other side of it is that when you talk to others, when they come to you, then there has to be a kind of a tremendous sincerity in there. If you are doing with that sincerity, people will know you are doing with sincerity. When you talk to a person they should know there’s sincerity, your heart is there. For example, you may talk to that person very sweetly but your heart may not be there, and the person might think, “Oh, he’s just giving me lectures.” All right? But if you talk to someone with the sincerity you say, “How could you do such a thing? Can’t you see yourself? Can’t you work it out? That’s what it is. You are here for that.” Now in saying so, your sincerity, which is coming from your heart is to be seen, and that’s what is Shri Rama’s character is. That He was on the right side of the heart,means the heart put to activity.
Do you understand that where Kabira has said, “Mana mamata ko thirakara lau,” I will make my compassion of my heart – mana, from my heart, the compassion – make it steady. “Aur panch hi tattwa milau,” and put them into five elements.
See, in the same way when you are in the left heart that’s your sincerity. It’s your “heartfelt” thing. But the “heartfelt” thing, what’s the use? You see, there are many sahaja yogis who really feel this world is horrible and something must be done, Sahaja Yoga must be brought in. But how many of you are really putting that to action, absolutely into action? Without that your Rama’s Tattwa cannot be improved. Rama’s Tattwa is only improved when you put all the thing into action that exactly Shri Rama did.
So in the ascent of man, when he came up to Rama’s place, the advent of Rama was not in the center, but on the right hand side. He moved aside. So much so that He forgot about His past. It’s never mentioned that He is an incarnation. He never told His father. He never told His mother. He never told anybody that He was incarnation. Of course, it was evident that He was. His brother knew about it. Now He had two brothers. Very interesting. I mean, He had other brothers also, but Bharat and another was Lakshmana, these were two brothers were with Him. Now, they showed the two sides of a human being. One was Lakshmana, and he was a fiery type, you see. He couldn’t bear anybody misbehaving towards Rama. He couldn’t bear anybody talking in a very mundane type to Shri Rama and He used to get so angry with all these people that he would just come out like a big thunderbolt on anybody who tried to say anything about Shri Rama, even Parshurama, who was there a contemporary incarnation of Shri Rama Himself was Parshurama It’s a very interesting story about that. But he could not bear Parshurama in any way. …He is the Shesha as they call it, the serpent which sleeps in the Bhavasagara on which Shri Vishnu rests. The same Shesha had taken birth as Shri Lakshmana.”
