Ganesha Puja: NOT only for AUSTRALIANS

So we have to now understand what are our maryadas are, how we have to live within our maryadas, and I'm sure if you really work out your Shri Ganesha.
For that the best is to meditate.
Put yourself on some nice turf, grass. Sit on that. Put your left hand with the light, and right hand on the Mother Earth, and say Atharva Sheersha. If you can remember it by heart, it's a very good thing. Otherwise, you can keep the book and read it, or say Ganesha's mantra to begin with. It's going to help you very much. It's going to help you, your eyes, it's going to your whole thing, is going to be very nice.
And also with this kind of a mad Mooladhara, a woman can become extremely aggressive with her husband. I mean, she can be a very cruel woman, and that's what is happening in America now. But I can't understand how women could be that cruel. .../...

Is it hot outside? - Shut up!

It's very serious. For Sahaja yogis very, very serious. They have to revive their innocence. They have to revive their maryadas. They have to delimit themselves. It's very important. Otherwise, I would say that, if you have some wheat spread out everywhere, how can you reach the heights? You have to put them into some bags, some maryadas.
Only by maryadas you can rise.
Of course the kundalini will help.
Of course Ganesha will help also.
But we should also try to watch ourselves. There should be introspection, "Are we still in the same category?"

.../... Australians have to give a very big lead in Shri Ganesha's area because you are sitting on the soil of Shri Ganesha. To all the Sahaja yogis, you must show. But, as you know what, we had horrible experiences so far, and how people have been dominating and doing all kinds of nonsensical things, money-wise and otherwise also morality-wise.

Are we going to follow them?

So it sometimes upsets the whole balance of Sahaja Yoga because it's all depending on Shri Ganesha; that means depending on Australians. And Australians have all the possibility of reaching a great height in Ganesh principle, because they have the Mother Earth here sitting down. What else do they want? You need not take to stupid American-style things. I mean, if you see their Hallowe'en, I tell you, you won't eat your food for eight days. And if you go only to Rio, even you do not visit their carnivals, but even if you see the pictures, you won't eat your food for one month, so horrible they are!

So are we going to follow them, or are we going to start our own Australian Shri Ganesha's special people?

Or
this I have to warn you, and people are all watching all over,
all Sahaja yogis are there; you know that all over the world we have Sahaja yogis. They're watching everyone, and you have to do your maximum to express your Ganesh principle, which should be very easy for you. And as I have told you, that Australia was a part and parcel of India once upon a time. It has come down here. So, at least in your films and all that, you can say they're dharmic, they are dharmic. They're not so bad as the American films are, but still this idea of copying the French or the Americans shows that we have lost our personality. But Shri Ganesha gives you a personality. He gives you your personality, because He gives you maryadas. You see, by maryadas only, you get your personality. A person is known by his maryadas. And that's what has to come within us, are our maryadas.

So today's puja is about Shri Ganesha.
As of course you know, He has got four petals and you know what He is placed in and what He does and all that, and how
He looks after the chastity of His Mother and all that.
But the main thing is that how we develop Shri Ganesha within us,
how people see us as the incarnations of innocence on this Earth. I know it's very difficult, but imagine Shri Ganesha sitting on the gate of hell, of excretion, because He's just like a lotus, above everything else, and He makes everything fragrant.
In the same way I expect all of you, the Sahaja yogis of Australia, to have that beautiful personality of Shri Ganesha, and that you emit that fragrance of innocence among all the Sahaja yogis, and then among all the world.
May God bless you.

A column of uttermost actuality

«Hallucination ....out of compassion ! - the game of power...»

It's said that at Sahasrara the Goddess incarnates as Mahamaya; because the job She has to do is of a very different nature. At the heart chakra, Anhata, She has to just defend, just defend the seekers from the clutches of the evil forces which are also not so subtle. They are very gross-like forms, human forms. And it's easy to fight and have a war with them, kill them.

But at the point of Sahasrara, the work is very complicated. First of all, the Sahasrara of the human beings is itself a very complicated thing. First of all, it's not that the time is very precarious, but also every country has its own complication to add to Sahasrara. Apart from that, you know, in Sahasrara we have got the seats of all the centers, not only the seven centers we are dealing with. And so many Nadis... are worked out through Sahasrara.
(...) But today, it being incarnated in it's full force, is acting through you. Is acting towards you.
It is helping you in a very big way, which I don't know if the complicated brains are aware of. So many dimensions it is working, because first of all, we have this horrible thing called ego. ... Many people, in Sahaj Yoga also, think like that, start thinking that they are something great.

... With some people it may act in a way that you want to enjoy the game of power, those who have missed it or those who know how to use it.
There could be another type who are the ones who think they have always suffered and they are suffering now also.
There can be another type of a group of people, who - when they come to Sahaj Yoga - they have complications of emotions. I know of some people, I've heard, that they felt attraction for a man or a woman and they started behaving in that fashion - after coming to Sahaj Yoga.
Sometimes the attraction to money, attraction to greed and lust becomes subtler.
...
So the Mahamaya being the subtler force, - is the subtlest of all!, which you cannot understand and can explain through your brains, at all - acts and just stupefies, it stupefies them. Unless and until that is done they cannot stop it, they cannot cut themselves away. They - in a subtler way - they remain the same, but not aware of it. People who are miserly become miserly, in a very subtle way, in a very sophisticated way, but they are miserly. Those who are dominating become dominating in a subtler way.
... And that's why the Mahamaya acts. First of all it stupefies you, completely. So you realize that whatever you think or react to something, to certain situations, it's a Maya, is just a hallucination created.

....
"Maha" means the great, because it has all the powers of all the Deities, it controls all the Deities; it surmounts over all the Deities.
And "Maya" also means love and compassion. All this effort for what? People don't understand. In the west people don't understand why am I doing it? There must be some reason:-It's compassion!
But the play of the compassion comes through the Mahamaya power. ...
