Jai Shri Mataji

"[…] in reality the heart has to work, not the brain. Because reality is only through the heart, not through the brain. Once you understand this, then you'll open your heart, enlarge it. "Now, this is in my heart." So the whole thing will be so clear cut in your head. You will know everything clearly, what is to be done, how to react, how to work it out. If you put all this knowledge of Sahaja Yoga into your heart, first of all you will have to enlarge your heart, otherwise you can't put this ocean. And then you should do Sahaja Yoga. To Me, everything seems to be Sahaja Yoga ‐ buying this house, coming to this place. All this is Sahaja Yoga. I can see clearly. Anything that I see, I connect it to Sahaja Yoga immediately. "This is Sahaja Yoga. Why is this so? This is because of Sahaja Yoga. This is Sahaja Yoga." So everywhere you start seeing Sahaja Yoga, when your heart knows what your brain knows. I've know people who know all the mantras very well, everything very well and all that. But in the heart. So put it in the heart. In Sahaja Yoga, the guru is not through his brain, but through his heart."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi ‐ Guru Puja 1991, Cabella Ligure

25 years ago Shri Mataji addressed us in the first Puja in Cabella. 1991 was a memorable year for Cabella, as our Holy Mother bought Palazzo Doria and since then chose it as one of Her residences. The Guru Puja we are about to experience together this year melts our deep devotion into the immense joy of a great anniversary. Every exceptional anniversary creates within us a strong desire to please Her infinitely more.

What we'd like to offer Her for this Guru Puja is the testimony of a collective working through which to express the joy, creative, divine, subtle power of being One.

We invite from the bottom of our heart all the yogis and yoginis from all over the world to be part of this celebration and worship in Cabella on the weekend of the 17th July.

Please refer to the website http://pujas.sahajayoga.it/ for registration, and information about travel and accommodation arrangements.

We have gone a long way in these past 25 years and so many divine accomplishments have been done by our Mother in Cabella and from Cabella, all over the world. So much though can and is still to be done by us, Her instruments, individually and collectively. Guru puja is the occasion where we, devotees of Shri Adi Shakti meet to worship our Supreme Holy Guru, celebrate Her greatness and take a pledge of introspection, growth, devotion, surrender and total dedication to Her, our Guru Mata.

That is why we also wish to inform all countries and yogis/nis from all over the world about some collective projects that are being started on the occasion of this momentous Guru puja. These ideas and collective workings (but more might come…) will serve the purpose to celebrate the greatness of our Holy Mother, in a suitable Divine Temple, inviting our brothers and sisters from all over the world in total oneness to Cabella. You will find all the information in the attachment.

We sincerely pray to be able to express our deepest devotion at the Lotus Feet of our Mother and to please Her through our desires, actions and the establishment of a deep oneness with Her and with all the Sahaja family.

We thank our Divine Mother again and again and bow to Her.

With Love,

The Hosting countries (Bulgaria, India, Iran, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Turkey) Renovation of the temple

The project, of which you can see a representation below, requires the participation of all the collectives of the world. We would like to transform the hangar more and more in a temple of worship of our MahaGuru Shri Adi Shakti, by replacing the old and spoiled towels with new white towels, placed from top to bottom, which will be periodically replaced and maintained. In the side walls we would like to enclose artistic panels created by the various collectives of the world, one for each nation. This will represent the creative expression of the devotion of the whole Sahaj World at the Lotus Feet of Mother, and will fill the hangar with the love of all Her children in the world.

Here is a link with a detailed description of the planned work. If you wish to participate please read through the document and follow the indications. Contact details for more information are enclosed in the document. https://www.docdroid.net/hld96y2/tempio.pdf.html

The preparation and the installation of white sheets and the already available country panels, will be done in Cabella before the puja weekend, and continue as long as new country contributions will reach, for all of the following pujas. The planned expenditure for the project is around 12,000 euros so, if you cannot participate with an artistic contribution but you wish to support the project, you can also support it financially with a country or personal contribution (please find more details on the last page on how to contribute).

Photo exhibition – Guru puja 1991 & 25 years in Cabella

We invite all the yogis who were there, to send us good quality scans of the pictures taken on the auspicious occasion of Guru puja 1991 so that all the coming yogis will be able to witness how it all started in Cabella. Please use the dropbox link https://www.dropbox.com/l/l8h93gFSmojjHp7K6Y6aaO for uploading or click the button below.

Upload files If you wish you can also send impressions and experiences along with your photographs.

These contributions will be integrated into the ongoing photo archive project, which will be a patrimony of the Sahaj collective and a visual testimony to the world.

So, in case you have also other pictures from the past 25 years of Cabella, you can send them at the same address. Please use explicative files names including date and author.

Travel support for disadvantaged collectives

We would like all the countries of the world to take part to this great event and to the following events and pujas in the temple of Cabella, including brothers and sisters of international collective with higher economic difficulties from continents like Latin America, Africa, Asia and so on.

By putting together small individual contributions, we could pay for the travel and stay of brothers and sisters who have never experienced an international event in Cabella.

Through these trips, made true by collective desire & support, not only we can rejoice of the presence of brothers and sisters who would be physically distant, but also we can activate a powerful vibratory global movement of unity in the worship of our Mother and Guru.

We invite country collectives to do this in autonomy and support some brothers and sisters around the world from disadvantaged collectives not just for Guru puja, but even for future pujas. If you feel, though, that you cannot raise enough money on your own, we can pool them together. Everyone can contribute according to their availability, even a few coins will help.

***

We hosting countries will be supporting these projects both through action and economic contribution but need also your support. If you want your country to be part of these projects starting on the 25th Guru Puja anniversary in Cabella, please feel free to participate in any way you wish, by organising local fundraisings for travel or by creating beautiful works of art to decorate the Cabella temple. These projects wish to be an expression of the Pure Love of the Sahaj family towards our Mother and our brothers and sisters from all over the world, in any way the collectives can or feel like contributing.

To be one with the collectivity, be able to enjoy it and establish it further through our actions, is a way for us to grow and be more and more One with our Guru Mata. Love is the expression of our Divine Guru and through it we have grown and we can do so much more. We pray our Mother to be able to realize ourselves completely by manifesting fully within us Her Love and wisdom.

With love,
