– Shillong Sahaja Yoga Trust
SAHAJA IN Sanskrit means spontaneous and also born with, Yoga means union with God. The potential to the spiritual awakening and ascent is inborn in every human being. This potential is possible to be actualized through a unique living process of Sahaja Yoga. This unique discovery has been done by Nirmala Devi (in 1970). The process of Sahaja Yoga is spontaneous and natural. It is a technique to awaken the Kundalini Shakti which lies in the sleeping state at the base of the spine (sacrum bone) of each human being. The process of awakening this Kundalini (Self Realisation) is a spontaneous and joy giving process, quite contrary to the widespread misinformation about it.
There are seven chakras (energy centres) basically within us as in above figure. These seven chakras are responsible for our physical, emotional and mental well-being. Once we get our Self Realisation we feel these centers in the Subtle System within us. As the Kundalini rises and passes through the six centres (which are our energy centers in the spinal cord) and pierces through the fontanel bone area on the top of our head, it nourishes and revitalizes the centers (chakras) so that the person feels relaxed, calm and full of life.
These centers are meant for our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual requirements. These centres are enlightened. Once the Kundalini pierces through the last centre, which is the fontanel bone area, which was a soft bone in our childhood, it becomes one with the all-pervading power of the Divine love. A cool breeze, like very beautiful vibrations, starts flowing through the fingertips .We can also feel the cool breeze coming out of the fontanel bone area on the top of our head. This is the first experience of Self-Realization.
The Sahaja Yoga movement is a continuation of the work of Mahatma Gandhi towards achieving global peace and human emancipation with the added dimension of self-realization. It is different from other yoga’s because it begins with Self-Realization.
