hi, has anyone in here practised sahaj-yoga founded by nirmala mataji(originally from india).you are free to post your views experiences- positive and negative.
My views of Nirmaladevi are entirely negative. She fosters a total cult adoration and has that sickening website where she quotes scriptures where she says how she is the fulfillment of all religions. She's a whacked out freak. That's what I think. As for Sahaj Yoga, there's no such thing. There are kriyas, and tantras and yogas. This is not a yogic technique - "A somewhat embarassing teaching. My impression of Mataji is that she naive rather than a fake. Sahaja Yogis claim that all that is required to achieve self realisation (or at least this is what they said when I visited one of their centres many years back in the early 1980s) is you put your hand over various chakras and say "Mother, forgive me" a number of times. This, they claim, activates the Kundalini. At the end of all that you should feel a cool breeze over your crown chakra. If you feel that, it means you're now an Enlightened Being. Yes, well.... More quotes: Like Scientology, Sahaja Yoga likes to keeps its true nature hidden from newcomers. Newcomers are not told about the system of arranged marriages, Mataji's claim that she is the Supreme Goddess and Creator of the Universe, how Mataji breaks up families at her whim, how children and toddlers are forcibly sent away to Sahaja Yoga schools in Italy and India, how Mataji threatens those leaving Sahaja Yoga with incurable diseases, how Sahaja Yoga breaks the law to spread its message and preserve funds, how Mataji has declared that any baby that cries in front of her photograph is possessed by demonic forces, how Mataji has encouraged her followers to form political parties and has prophesied that her organisation will rule the world, how Mataji receives money and expensive presents from her followers including a stately home in Cambridgeshire and a castle in Italy.http://www.kheper.net/topics/gurus/sahaja_yoga.htmDo I normally go around giving gurus a bad rep. No, they do.
