About Sahaja Yoga Meditation
Sahaja Yoga Meditation is a non-profit organization founded in 1970 by the Mother, grandmother, wife, and spiritual leader Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. Even from a young age, Shri Mataji showed a deep understanding of the complexities of human beings as well as their potential to rise above any challenges they might face to become something truly great. Shri Mataji developed a simple technique for awakening that potential in the form of the kundalini, a powerful, innocent, and mothering energy placed inside every individual.
Power within us
Everyone, no matter where we come from, what we look like, or what language we speak, has a hidden power built inside us known as the kundalini. The kundalini is a dormant, Mothering energy which rests inside the sacrum (sacred) bone. When this Mothering power is awakened, she nourishes and balances us from the inside out. Like a Mother, she knows what our strengths and challenges are, where we need help, and she immediately goes to work. Our nerves become soothed, and as a result our lives begin to feel more balanced. We find it easier to overcome bad habits and let go of the past. We may even discover new talents. What is the key to unlock this energy? Simply to have a desire for the energy to be awakened is all that is needed.
Energy Centers and Channels
All the strength and wisdom you need to balance your life as a Mom, spouse, friend, and professional are placed inside you in what is known as the subtle system. Ancient people described this system as chakras and nadis, but today we understand this to be at minimum the plexuses of our autonomous nervous system. These chakras or plexuses are responsible for our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being, and each chakra has specific qualities built inside. These qualities are what make us uniquely human, and we draw on them every minute of every day.
Shri Mataji, an Exemplary Educator
Shri Mataji's role as an educator was unique. She believed that children needed to not only be developed intellectually and emotionally, but spiritually as well. She placed great emphasis on education and believed the role of teachers and parents is to help children blossom in their environments. She valued focused attention, discipline, and a global perspective. Love was at the core of her teachings. Without love, self-esteem and self-understanding would not develop. Shri Mataji not only had a vision, but she put that vision into practice by creating schools in the United States, Canada, Italy, Austria, Russia, Czech Republic, Australia and India where Sahaja Yoga Meditation has been part of the educational curriculum ever since.
