Wishing everyone a joyful Shri Krishna Puja this weekend!

Dear Family,

HH Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi – Shri Krishna Puja USA, 29th September

Jai Shri Mataji!
 
We wish all of our beautiful family a joyful Shri Krishna Puja this weekend!
 
Our brothers and sisters from America are preparing to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Shri Mataji procuring the auspicious Canajoharie property “Nirmal Nagari” and the 20th anniversary of the first Saakar Puja to Shri Mataji at the property. 
 
We are sending a donation towards the Canajoharie School as a gift from Australia. 
 
You can see their Shri Krishna Puja Seminar offerings from Canajoharie here.

Shri Krishna is such an incredibly powerful Deity that destroys so many negativities again and again!

As part of our Puja worship let’s collectively Pray to Shri Mataji in Her Form of Shri Krishna to destroy all the obstacles to our Collective Spiritual Ascent.

(Also Instrumental Music below “Venudhar” – The One who holds the Flute).

“So, you have to understand that you cannot rationalize the Puja”

“Puja is one of the things by which you can excite the forms into formless. Now, your centers are the centers of energy. But they, too, have a guiding deity sitting on all these chakras. They are also the formless made into forms. And when you do the Puja, the forms melt into formless energy, and this formless energy then starts flowing, and that, then blows the wind. And that’s how this misidentification, superimpositions on the spirit are removed.

Now, you cannot think about the Puja. The whole thing happens in a realm which is beyond thinking. So, you have to understand that you cannot rationalize the Puja. You should have the maximum advantage on your chakras. For that you must fully just concentrate on the puja and how the wind is blowing. And the wind will see to it, that they drive out all the clouds. So your only work is, or your only method is — just to concentrate on the Puja, and witness. You are a seer.

Seer has double meaning. The one who sees only, just sees, and is only knowledge — is a seer. Without any thought, without any reaction, just sees and absorb, automatically, spontaneously — is the seer. And so, that is the best way to perform a Puja. For Me sometimes it’s burdensome, because there should be some parity between you and the deities. Some balance must be there.

Here you are saying all the mantras and the deities are awakened, and there you are, who do not want to receive anything within your heart. So I am the one who has to store up all the extra energy that is produced in the body. So it would be better if you all keep your hearts open and watch the puja without thinking about it.“

“But all His potent qualities really were expressed when He came as Shri Krishna.”

“Today we have gathered here to do Shri Krishna Puja. We have to understand clearly that Shri Krishna is a very, very important deity within us because He is the Vishnu, who resides in the Void, in the Nabhi. He is the one who generates dharma within us.
….
But Shri Krishna is the one who says that “I come on this earth when there is a glani, means demise, of dharma.” When the dharma becomes weak then He comes on this Earth, and then He destroys the people who are responsible for bringing dharma to this level of doom. The second thing He says, that “I protect the saints. I protect the saints and I kill all those who are devils or who are satanic, who are destructive.” These are His promises which He gave long time back as Shri Krishna. As Vishnu we know Him only as the one who is the giver of dharma, mainly. But all His potent qualities really were expressed when He came as Shri Krishna. At the time of Shri Rama also these qualities could not be expressed in that way.

If you are like Shiva, then Shiva used to even love rakshasas and in His innocence He used to give them also blessings. But Shri Krishna did not believe in forgiveness at all because it was important that there should be somebody with a very stern mind, with such a stern understanding that a devil is a devil, and devil must be killed.

He has done in His lifetime, if you see, killing of so many people. That doesn’t mean that we have right to kill anybody. He was Shri Krishna; we are not. We have to forgive because we are human beings. Once we forgive we transfer all our anger, all our attitude of taking revenge, to Shri Krishna. He takes over. Once you say that “I forgive,” then He takes over, because He does not forgive. He will immediately take over from you and if it is justifiable, if it is necessary He will punish the people who are torturing saints, who are destroying the dharma.

Now as you know that Krishna, His country is America. He rules over America. So it is a rich country because Shri Krishna is Kubera. He is the Lord of wealth. So, He has given wealth to America. Then He is Vachana, means communication. His another quality is that He is the one who communicated. It was He who danced with gopis and gopas. It was He who transferred His powers to them. So the communication part is one of His greatest qualities that is working in America.

This is the greatest thing that Shri Krishna does to you is to make your brain, brain itself dharmic. It becomes a vehicle of understanding dharma, of leading a dharmic life and of standing firmly on dharma. It’s the brain; it is the brain which really, mostly, takes you away from dharma, apart from black magic. But once your Sahastrara is opened out, Virata is expressed. Then you are amazed at yourself. The one who was indulging into everything thinking, “This is pleasure. This is my right. I should have done it. Who else can tell me?” and all that, suddenly you become a prophet. This is the greatest blessing of Shri Krishna that He is Virata, and the Virata is your brain, and the brain of God Almighty is Virata.

So this is what one has to realize, that after realization a person gets ideas which are always constructive, and if they are not, then you are not yet a Sahaja yogi. Constructive and dharmic, that is very, very important for us to understand, where is our mind going? Is it contradicting, it is telling something else than what it is? We have to just keep a watch and you’ll be amazed to see how your brain has changed its ways. The upside brain has become normal. This you can get very easily if you just meditate every day and see for yourself how the expression of your Sahastrara is penetrating into your being and is acting in your life.Then all the powers of Sahaja yogi will be manifested and you don’t have to anymore doubt yourself, and others will never doubt you. May God bless you.”
