Shri Mataji: "A day will dawn, when the whole world would bow to this country in reverence."
"We are made out of Yoga. Ours is the land of Yoga. We are not
egoistic, nor do we want to be so. We desire to live on this land as
Yogis. A day will dawn, when the whole world would bow to this
country (India) in reverence. Then people would know who Jesus
Christ was, and from where He came ! He would then be worshipped
with due respect on this sacred land. In India, even today, the
modesty of women is protected and they are treated with proper
respect. All over our country, we regard the Mother with great
reverence. When the people from other countries would visit this
land they would know that it is in this country that real
Christianity is practiced with great devotion, but not in countries
which profess the Christian religion.
Jesus Christ said that we should be born again. In our country we
refer to this process as Dwija or born for the second time. The
second birth of any human being is possible only by awakening of
Kundalini Power. So long as the Kundalini is not awakened, one will
not acquire the second birth, and so long as we do not have rebirth
we will not be able to recognise God. You read the Bible after
Realization. You will be surprised to know that Jesus Christ has
told nothing but the importance of Sahaja Yoga. Everything has been
explained with minor details. Those who have no insight,
misrepresent the matters."

"I have told you long time back (long ago) that how we can prove that Christ was
Ganesha and he was the Logos. He was the what we call is the Brahmanat, the
first sound. By looking at your left side from the right side, if you see the
Mooladhara you will see swastikas because it is made of carbon atom. If you see
from left to the right you can see Omkara and if you see from down upward it
looks like Alpha and Omega.
In those days Christ has said I am the Alpha and I am the Omega, and now we have
made the animation, we have no arrangement to show you there. I don't know if
you could arrange it somehow, but you can see it clearly, what I have said can
be proved. So as you worship Ganesha, you must worship Christ in the same
manner... for all those who worship Ganesha.
Because I have seen that Hindus, they are stuck to Ganesha and Christians are
stuck to Christ. Even after coming to Sahaja Yoga they carry those traits.
Ganesha is all right up to a point and then it is important we must pray to his
incarnation that is Christ. In the same way those who worship Christ, must also
worship Ganesha because he is the Source. He is the potential of Christ. All
this was in the Divine plan, done with Divine discretion. Everything was done so
beautifully. But as I told you, human beings are good at massacring anything
that is beautiful. And that's how it has happened. Its very, very sad and on his
birthday today we have to decide that he has to be born within us again. In a
proper way, that he is the Alpha and the Omega.
At that time of his time I didn't know that anybody knew about these symbols.
These symbols also must have come from unconscious to some of the great
mathematicians in long time (long ago). And that's why these symbols are used
exactly like Alpha and Omega. You see him clearly. It is so clear cut now in
Sahaja Yoga. We can prove so many things all tangible. How Christ used to cure
people, what did he do, it's all tangible. We can prove it now in Sahaja Yoga,
how it works out, how these powers work out. But we have to first of all cleanse
our lives. We have to lead a very honest, powerful and pure life.
So the first thing of Ganesha is that wisdom. And that wisdom we see in the life
of Christ. From the very beginning, he was so confident of it that at the age of
twelve years, he went and talked to these Parsees (means the people who were
priests). We still have priests and mullahs and these burgees and all of them,
these so called dharma mantandas, all over. But he went and argued with them at
that young age and he was just saying what are you doing here? What is this?
What are you talking all lip service? He was discussing and talking to them but
his parents were perhaps... were frightened that these people might kill him. So
they brought him to India.
He came to India for wisdom. I don't know where is that wisdom missing now from
Indians. But must be this country was full of wisdom when he came and stayed in
India. And we have lots of memories about him. Even the King Shaliman met him.
Is described in his book that he met a man in Kashmir who was very saintly and
he asked him what's your name? He said my name is Isa, see now imagine - Isa
(Is pronounced eesa) is the word used in the Vedas for the Adi Shakti. Sa means
with. He said my name is Isa. (It was) said from what country do you come? He
said I come from a country which is foreign to me and this is my country.
So this India, the Bharat, the Hindustan was the country of spirituality. And
one should not try to compete and feel inferior to other countries who have gone
up materially higher. You don't know where they are! But we should be
spiritually higher. That's what Christ said. This is my own country, is clearly
written. That means Christ recognised that this country of spirituality is his
own. So we belong to that country of spirituality and not to the materialistic
or to the mundane or the baser type of life."

(Sarah a journalist and girl friend of the ABC's South Asia correspondent deals with her experiences in India. These extracts are from the concluding pages of the book where she summarises her experience.)
The ABC has found a new correspondent and now it is time to leave for Australia and let the tide of a billion lives ebb and flow without us.....
In Sydney I rediscover my relationship with nature. The ocean becomes my temple and my Ganges......I walk through the pristine quite of the suburban bush of my childhood as fluorescent orange streaks across the sky...Gleaming cars zoom fast on empty, wide and clean roads. A couple bent double laughs with hysterical abandon at a cafe table. I delight to see such open joy and such easy lives, yet at times the luxury and space sit uneasily. My country and I want it all - to be part of a war and not to face its consequences, to be part of the global community but not a port for its refugees. The city rants religiously of real estate and fashion.......The worship of land ownership, the body beautiful, self-help and self obsession for beings blinded by option over load is strangely unfamiliar.
I went to India for love and that country tested that love to a large degree....We now both have a new view of our so lucky lives, yet our innocent optimism has been sucked from our hearts. The overall feeling about our adventure is positive though. Jonathan's career has taken off and I have gained much in my karma chameleon journey. I am reborn as a better person, less reliant on others for my happiness and full of a desire to replace anger with love. Plus I have gained another home. For, I have two spiritual homes now - the quite empty lands of my birth and the cataclysmic crowded land of my rebirth. When I remember India, I think of its ability to find beauty in small things - the tattoo of circles on a camel's rump, a bright silk Saree in a dark slum, a peacock feather in a plastic jar, a delicate earring glinting by a worn face and a lotus painted on a truck. I miss the sheer exuberance of a billion individuals and their pantomime of festivals............
India is the land of the profound and the profane: a place where spirituality and sanctimoniousness sit miles apart. I have learnt much from the land of many gods and many ways to worship. From Buddhism the power to begin to manage my mind, from Jainism the desire to make peace in all aspects of life while Islam taught me to desire goodness and to let go of that which cannot be controlled. I thank Judaism for teaching me the power of transcendence in rituals and the Sufis for affirming my ability to find answers within and reconnecting me to the power of music. Here is to the Parsis for teaching me that nature must be touched lightly and the Sikhs for the importance of spiritual strength. I thank the gurus for trying to pierce my ego armour and my girlfriends for making me laugh. And most of all I thank Hinduism for showing me that there are millions of paths to the divine......
Yet, I have brought back something even more important than sacred knowledge. A baby is growing inside me. A baby conceived during our last weekend in the country. This child will forever remind me of the land I lived in and what it took and what it gave. And this baby made in India, will always remind me that India to some extent made me.
