Golden Memories with Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi - Jeremy L

Golden Memories with Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi - Jeremy L remembers times spent with Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. This interview includes-

Self realization in Brighton in 1981/82 in Gillian's garden

Sweet peas (lovely scented flowers) from J's father's gardens to offer at this puja

Saying mantras in Sanskrit

No names for several pujas in those days as was very informal

First time, Guru Dakshina (offerings to the Guru), auspicious , the very first time in London

Just some brass coins, the lowest change you have

NB: Please share if you were at this puja in comments section, thank you!

We should be ready long before She arrives

In Rome, Shri Mataji's puja with a salad bowl

Importance in the beginning more on vibrations than protocols

Brighton - no fruit for puja so pineapple meant for chicken dish was offered

Lyon from Brighton in a little mini (car) went to all pujas and public programmes.

Only sixteen people in one puja

Shri Mataji in Venice, 1986, alone with Her, washing Her Holy Lotus Feet. Please see Shri Mataji's speech below-

Journey as a pujari began in Brighton helping Chris P

Shri Mataji sweetly makes sure Jeremy stays on stage

You shouldn't ask if You would like to have cup of tea; if I want it, I will drink it....

Invariably ask for something different in the puja, so one would have to improvise and the other was making a mistake in the puja

Shri Mataji asked for altaa (liquid kumkum), Alga not altaa

Have good attention to be in the flow

Doing it but not doing it, just the instrument

Hall dedicated to John the Baptist in Venice, Shri Mataji's Public Programme and travelling in water taxis

What do the people want?
Mother they want peace

What shall we do now?

Presents for Shri Mataji and puja presents for Shri Mataji

Many houses to put the puja presents

Shri Mataji fell silent when donations was suggested

Shri Mataji was annoyed when people asked for discounts

If its right, money will come....

Brains Trust- knowledgeable leaders formed a panel who would be asked questions on Sahaja Yoga

You have to know...

You come to Sahaja Yoga and relax; the real seeking starts now with pure knowledge

Shiva Lingam, Shri Mataji mentions in Her Book 'Creation'
Immaculate conception by Shri Mataji alone so we are pure like Shri Ganesh

As Shri Mataji has given us our self-realization, in order to get God Realization we have to get the blessings of Shri Shiva.

Sarcasm and irony is not real humour

Haldi ceremony, the joy, Shri Mataji roaring with laughter, enjoying the fun.

Thank you Shri Mataji again and again for everything!
