Sahaja Yoga

Sahaja means ‘in-born, natural, spontaneous’ and Yoga is “Union with the Divine’. Every human is born with a subtle mechanism inside, which, when awakened, gives Sahaja Yoga-‘Spontaneous Union with the Divine’. This experience, also called Self-realization, is described in the teachings of all religions; the difference in Sahaja Yoga, is that Self-realization is the starting point of spiritual ascent, rather than the distant goal. The conditions for awakening of the dormant Spiritual Energy Kundalini to take place are only a genuine desire to know the truth and the presence of one who already has this energy awakened.
On awakening, the Kundalini emerges from the Sacrum bone, as shown on the chart. It rises through the Sushumna-‘Central Channel’ piercing the six Chakras, nourishing and enlightening these subtle energy centers. When the Kundalini passes throught the Agnaya Chakra in the head, the Seeker experiences the peace and silence of ‘Thoughtless Awareness’. This is the first stage of true meditation. Entering the state of ‘Nirvicharita’, for even a few moments everyday transforms all area of our lives; Physical. Mental, Emotional and Spiritual. We come into harmony with the world around us and feel less affected by the ups and downs of our everyday lives.
Passing through the Sahasrara Chakra-‘Thousand-Petalled Lotus’ in the limbic area, the Kundalini pierces the Fontanelle bone (Talu) at the top of head and unites us with the Param-chaitanya- ‘The all-pervading power of God’s Love’. This is felt as a cool breeze on the top of head and on the palms. Identifications with body, mind, emotions and ego fall away and we realize our true nature as Atma- ‘Spirit’. This is Atma-sakshatkar- ‘Self-realization’. It is a beautiful and liberating experience.
With the meditaion centers established in more than 120 countries, Sahaja Yoga has become a global phenomenon. Thousands of people everyday are getting the experience of Self-realization and ascending into a higher atate of awareness. They are finding the freedom and happiness that comes from spiritual fulfillment.
