INTERNATIONAL BIRTHDAY PUJA & SEMINAR AT

CHHINDWARA, (Madhya Pradesh) - INDIA

19^th TO 21^st March 2012

The advent of every incarnation has always brought about an evolutionary change in creation, taking human beings a step closer to their ultimate aim. The significance of the advent of Adi Shakti, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, our Divine and most Beloved Mother is far more profound because it has set into motion the transition of human beings to the next stage of evolution- the Fourth Dimension or the “Turya” status.

Our Divine Mother, gave us, through self realisation the understanding that the ultimate goal of our evolution, is to become the spirit, the reflection of God Almighty in our hearts. She made us experience HER Divine Love within us through which she nourished and nurtured us and continues to do so, so that we establish ourselves in the Kingdom of God and take this glorious movement of Sahaja Yoga forward so as to establish Satya Yuga ( age of truth) on earth.

In March 2012(19 to 21 March), with our hearts full of Nirmal love, we, the Indian Sahaja Collective together with our brothers & sisters from Bangaladesh, Bhutan & Nepal, cordially invite our dear brothers and sisters from all over the world to come to Chhindwara in Madhya Pradesh, the birth place of our Holy Mother, to celebrate the 89^th Birthday of our Most Beloved Mother, the Adi Shakti, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.

By the Grace of Her Holiness, we have acquired adequate land measuring about 35 acres at Linga (Chhindwara) where we will be making the entire arrangement for the Seminar, Puja and Sahaj Marriages.

Chhindwara can also be accessed via Bhopal/Jabalpur . Bhopal is well connected by air with other major cities of India. After reaching Nagpur/Bhopal/Jabalpur one can reach Chhindwara by road or by rail route.

The train from Nagpur takes around 6 hours (13:00, 16:00 & 22:30 departures, all with Sleeper Class), however it's a meter gauge line and is not very comfortable .There are bus Services at every hour from Nagpur to Chhindwara, and it takes just around 3 hours.

By Rail: From Bhopal/Jabalpur broad gauge trains are available to Chhindwara. After reaching Nagpur by broad gauge, since only meter gauge trains are available between Nagpur and Chhindwara, one will have to make the change of trains. Nearest station on broad guage track is Multai on Itarsi- Nagpur Railway track. From Multai we have to catch SH26 & take left when SH26 meets SH19 and in 10-20 minutes from here you'll reach Chhindwara.

By Road: Chhindwara can be approached by road from Nagpur (distance 127 kms.), Jabalpur (distance 197 kms.) or Bhopal (distance 278 kms.). Taxis and buses are readily available from these cities to Chhindwara.

Dear Brothers and Sisters

On 23 February, 2011, our Divine and Most Beloved Mother, Adi Shakti Mataji, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi transited to HerVirat and Nirakar form. On this day every year, all Sahaja Yoga Centres in India will organize a programme of collective meditation and Sahaja Bhajans expressing our Love and Reverence for HER in recognition of HER glorious work of establishing Sahaja Yoga worldwide, while SHE was on earth. As the Adi Shakti, SHE is the “Glory of all Glories” who has bestowed countless Blessings on us- Her children, when She was in Her Sakar form, and now in HER vibratory Virat and Nirakar form, SHE continues to bestow Her Blessings on all of us, protecting us, nourishing and nurturing us, and guiding us at every step and in every moment of our lives.

With folded hands and with Divine Love for our Most Beloved Mother in our hearts, we pray – “Oh Most Beloved Mother, please keep us connected to this Ocean of Love that YOU are, that permeates the entire Creation. Grant us Your wisdom and Your understanding so that we can advance Your Mission of spreading this Divine Love to all corners of our ancient country. Please take us deeper into our selves so that we can attain our spiritual ascent, and learn to Love YOU more and more so that there is no duality left. In seeking these pure desires, we bow in complete surrender to the Supreme Goddess, the Parameshwari.”

Dear Brothers and Sisters, you are requested to kindly convey our Love and Respect to all Sahaja Yogis and inform all your Centres, accordingly.

With Love and Respect
