On May 5, 1970 Shri Mataji opened the Sahastrara (Crown) chakra for mankind, thereby allowing anyone with the desire to have their realisation by awakening their dormant spiritual energy known as Kundalini.
Shri Mataji then began to spread en-mass Self-Realisation using the Sahaja Yoga techniques she developed. Shri Mataji accepts no money for her time, knowledge or for the giving of Self-Realisation. She has worked and travelled tirelessly for over 40 years to bring Sahaja Yoga to the seekers of the world.
The method of meditation through self-realisation developed by Shri Mataji was called Sahaja Yoga. Shri Mataji toured throughout Europe, Australia, and North America continuously in the 1980’s, teaching this method free of charge to all who were interested. The 1990’s saw her travels spreading to South America, Africa, Eastern Europe, Asia and Pacific region.
Despite relentless travelling, Shri Mataji never referred to her demanding schedule as tiresome, equating it rather with the work of a loving mother looking after her children’s well being.
Shri Mataji was born in India to a Christian family on March 21, 1923 - a descendant of an Indian royal family. Her father, a lawyer, was a member of India's first parliament. He was scholar fluent in 14 languages. He also translated the Qur’an into Hindi. Her mother was the first woman in India to receive an honours degree in mathematics. Shri Mataji also had a good and close relationship with Mahatma Gandhi.
Shri Mataji was a mother and grandmother, as well as the spiritual mother to Sahaja Yogis from all over the world. She was the wife of Sir C.P Srivastava, a very distinguished diplomat who served as Secretary General of the United Nations International Maritime Organisation.
"You cannot know the meaning of your life until you are connected to the power
that has created you"
"There can be no peace in this world until there is peace within"
"The quality of human beings is only one and that is how much they
love and forgive"
"Love is the main thing. When there is love there is energy, there is patience and there is wisdom. love has to be there first"
