Shri Mataji Tells A Story

This collection of sixty-four stories, all told to us by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, includes The Creation of Shri Ganesha, The Sanyasi and the Rain and Padmini and the Palanquin. They are tales of inspiration, guidance and humour, "The stories are there," she said, "but behind these stories, you have to see the subtle things."

Shri Mataji writes that “India is a very ancient country and it has been blessed by many seers and saints who wrote treatises about reality and guidelines on how to achieve it.” This is just such a book. This book is both an introduction to Sahaja Yoga, describing the nature of the subtle reality within each of us, and a step-by-step handbook on how to be a good Sahaja Yogi, the nature of Sahaj culture, how to be a leader and how to raise children. “The knowledge of Sahaja Yoga cannot be described in a few sentences or one small book, but one should understand that all this great work of creation and evolution is done by some great subtle organization, which is in the great divine form.”

Seventy-five doors, seventy-five opportunities to ascend: the words, advice and wisdom of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi offered across 96 colour pages.

Words of guidance and wisdom from Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi for each day of the year, selected from thousands recorded talks, presented on the day of the year on which they were spoken.

One talk from 1977 stands alone: Creation. "You are the people who are on the stage," Shri Mataji told us. "You are created for this purpose." This single talk fills all the pages of this richly illustrated magazine. She begins with these words: "It is a very difficult subject. And I will try to make it intelligent for you, but I would request you to pay full attention for such a difficult subject like creation."
