This special issue contains a forty year history of Sahaja Yoga, primarily told through the words of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. From the opening of the Sahasrara in 1970, each year is a stepping stone in our collective story. Each of us is a thread in the fabric that is Sahaja Yoga, all those years in the making. Of Sahaja Yoga, Shri Mataji is the author. Of our ascent, She is the artist.

An introduction to Sahaja Yoga created from the words of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi: this power knows who you are.

This magazine begins with the words, "The fundamental truth is that you are not this body, this mind, this ego, these conditionings, but you are the pure spirit." It then goes on to describe, through Shri Mataji's words, some of the fundamentals with which a human being is built: God, Truth, Kundalini, the Absolute, Realization, the Central Path, Religion, Love, Joy, Rebirth, Connection, Awakening, Mahayoga, Spirit, Faith, Discretion, Collectivity, Attention, Growth, Dedication, Compassion, Dharma, Worship, Shri Mataji and Sahaja Yoga.

It is only possible for people who are of a subtler nature to understand the value of Sahaja Yoga, to hold to the values of Sahaja Yoga and to retain it in this fragmented world. In this magazine, one landmark talk from 1980 is presented in full. Shri Mataji tells us that, as subtler people, we are "a little different from the mundane crowd." Her message is then expanded with related excerpts of Shri Mataji words from other years.

There is one guru mantra. It is "We are Sahaja Yogis." In this magazine, Shri Mataji's speaks of revolution, recognition, her mission and existence, and that Sahaja Yoga was always known to her. "Believe me," she reassures us. "No one can harm you. We are all Sahaja Yogis."

Since its publication in 2013, The Book of Adi Shakti has proven to be one of the foundational books in Sahaja Yoga. Carefully edited from unpublished manuscripts and illustrations, we have a book from Shri Mataji's own hand. "I hope to write some book on Sahaja Yoga," she once said. "The whole knowledge will be dawned upon you. You will have a meaning and you will understand." This magazine from The Divine Cool Breeze also includes two additional articles created from Shri Mataji's words: "What is Your Position?" and "Smiling."

"Great news for all the Sahaja Yogis," Shri Mataji said in 1977. She went on to announce her first public lecture at London's Caxton Hall. "Let us see how it fares," she added. Over the next five years almost one hundred Sahaja Yoga programs with Shri Mataji were held at this historic venue. "The temple had to come down to London to Caxton Hall to talk to people," she explained. Also in this magazine: "The Extraordinary of the Ordinary," "Reality Is What It Is," "I Will Be the Same" and more.
