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."

Shri Mataji writes that “India is a very ancient country and it has been blessed by many seers and saints who wrote treatises about reality and guidelines on how to achieve it.” This is just such a book. This book is both an introduction to Sahaja Yoga, describing the nature of the subtle reality within each of us, and a step-by-step handbook on how to be a good Sahaja Yogi, the nature of Sahaj culture, how to be a leader and how to raise children. “The knowledge of Sahaja Yoga cannot be described in a few sentences or one small book, but one should understand that all this great work of creation and evolution is done by some great subtle organization, which is in the great divine form.”

The book Sahaja Yoga- An Experiential Treatise is a translation of the original Marathi work titled Sahaja Yoga- Anubhavache Bol written by Mr. V. N. Phadke which was written by him at the request of our Holy mother, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. The book is based on his own experiments with application of Sahaja Yoga for treatment of various ailments, to find intuitively solutions to some common problems faced by man and also to find the truth as to certain beliefs of his community for which the encouragement came from Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi herself. Saraswati Ramans interest and dedication to Sahaja Yoga and its meditation led her to explore a course in medicine leading to an MD in Alternative Medicine from the Indian Board for Alternative Sciences, Kolkata and started off on her journey in Music too by learning,just to discover the treatments of various diseases through Music and Sahaja Yoga meditation. A lady full of positive vibes and approach, towards every aspect of life; ever smiling, her journey to explore the Culture of our country and its tradition has taken this form of a beautiful compilation of this literature. We are proud to have her as one of the gems of Sahaja Yogis that are blooming on this Earth. Jai Shri Mataji. With lots of love, Pramila Rao, Krez Kreations, Real Estate, Ad-films & Media.

Who are we? Who are we really? What is our purpose here? And how can we make this a better world? Sahaja Yoga answers these questions. It answers them not only intellectually, in the form of an idea, and not only as a felt response, in the form of a mood of the heart, but also as an actual living happening. Practical, simple, and free, it transforms us from within and thereby brings about the evolution that we seek. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, the founder of this Yoga, advised the author of Sahaja that he should write a substantial account of her discovery. This book, whose aim is to offer a rounded understanding of and thorough grounding in Sahaja Yoga, is the result.

"Sahaja Yoga is not so simple as you think," Shri Mataji told us in 1998. "It is full of temptations." Over twelve pages, in a collection of short quotes, Shri Mataji clearly tells us what Sahaja Yoga is not. The magazine also includes several other articles created from her words. She speaks of collectivity, beauty, fear and incarnations. She speaks at a 1982 Shri Durga Puja, calling it "the Day of the Goddess" and she assures us that there is no problem because there is a special grace.

Many of the foundations of Sahaja Yoga can be found in the early talks of the 1970s and early 80s. This book looks back at ten days in India between 1972 and 1977 when Shri Mataji spoke to us: unique moments, gems of wisdom, insights said only once. As one Sahaja Yogi at the time put it, "Shri Mataji, first you make the summit, then you make the foundations." Shri Mataji later explained: "The human mind is used to doing things in a ritual way. To raise this house, you have to first dig the foundation, then the piling up and then you have those pillars and the roof. That is how they plan out things. But in God's own kingdom there is no planning. You just sit down and you just enjoy." Consider now some of the foundations of Sahaja Yoga.
