With only one objective and aim so that human can achieve humanity and we can awaken humanity inside us and without outwardly changing a person but changing from inside not only just changing but also to carry on that responsibility of changing the world. And to bring that change.
There is no need for anything, there is no need for money and not anyone’s support. And most important thing is that with this change more than 140 countries have associated themselves. Internal change inside a human being and after that changed he doesn’t need to know what is right and wrong, what to do and what not to do. And a tradition like this started in 1970 in the coastal area of Nargol Gujarat by our Reverend Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Ji had started this journey from there is now become a caravan. In this regard, we will be having professor Rajindra Giri. He is a resident of Buldhana Maharashtra, he is settled in Nagpur. And dean of a arts college. And he is associated with fine arts. Till now viewers you have met people here who are from different backgrounds like science, law etc with their distinct identities with their social reputation. Which so much of variance they had one thing in common where they all have one thinking that there is someone who is the real doer who is sitting somewhere and if human beings can start understanding themselves so they can understand the whole world and the God and there is no need to tell anything. Let us listen from him, his story why did he come to Sahaj yoga and what did he achieved and how he is carrying on the role of distributing those achievements? Giri ji a warm welcome in our News Dnn’s studio and thank you for giving us your valuable time. For our viewers the first question that we would like to ask you that when your spiritual journey started?
Prof. Rajindra Giri: I have come to Sahaja Yoga into Shri Mataji’s refuge in 1992 and from then my journey without any interruption is proceeding ahead.
Interviewer: We would like to know what was the reason for you to come to Sahaj?
Prof. Rajindra Giri: Practically for a common man his interest in spirituality grows when he suffers from a problem–
Interviewer: This is a very beautiful thing that you have said.
Prof. Rajindra Giri: And it was God’s grace that I didn’t have any difficulty in life and before joining Sahaj Yoga I was searching for something which was similar to this. I used to sit in meditation myself and it was my desire to have something that would quench my desire.
Interviewer: That means you’re searching for something?
Prof. Rajindra Giri: Absolutely and while doing this search I had my colleague and from him, I got to know about Sahaja Yoga and without any reason. Means I have no disease or any kind of stress. So me and my wife’s both joint Sahaja Yoga. And from then on we are practising meditation and we are working for it and enjoying our life.
Interviewer: Rajindra ji we would like to know on behalf of our audience about your professional career.
Prof. Rajindra Giri: Well, my profession is related to fine arts basically I’m a graphic art designer and I am linked with this profession for 30 years and with Sahaj yoga for about 25 years.
Interviewer: So you are a graphic designer, that means your technical know-how is also very good.
Prof. Rajindra Giri: Yes.
Interviewer: All the Graphic designing work is done on computers?
Prof. Rajindra Giri: Yes.
Interviewer: So somewhere there is a scientific touch in your life and also the artistic touch in life. So was there any difficulty in accepting Sahaj yoga.
Prof. Rajindra Giri: No, absolutely not because the quest was coming from within. And the thing that I was searching that I was for and was satisfying me. So I was delving deep inside. And there was nothing left for doubt.
Interviewer: It is said that musicians and people who are involving in Arts, they work from the heart. So there is doubts in that case. Giri ji we would like to know on behalf of our audience that the field in which you are working is very emotional, and if there is no emotion, you could not make anything and especially this is true for Arts. You came to Sahaj because you were searching something within yourself or God, there was something that would give you satisfaction after coming to Sahaj. How much time did it take to subdue that thirst that was within you?
Prof. Rajindra Giri: Well the thing is I would not say that I have gone deeper inside it or achieved everything, though 25 years may look a big time period but there is always a feeling inside us that we have come just now and there is too much to be searched and many things to be achieved. And Sahaj Yoga is something which will take us to Unity with God.
Interviewer: Unity with god is a very big thing and we are all travelling in that journey, where we are constantly progressing towards that Unity, but if we talk about the time when you started Sahaj Yoga, the thirst that you have of finding god, how much it was quenched?
Prof. Rajindra Giri: Well there was a significant drop in that thirst, because–
Interviewer: Somewhere you got satisfaction.
Prof. Rajindra Giri: We get complete satisfaction, therefore we not only do Sahaj Yoga for ourselves but for others also. So we can spread this to complete humanity.
Interviewer: You have said that you and your wife started doing Sahaj Yoga so before coming to Sahaj Yoga, so what was the relationship you had with your wife and family, and after coming to Sahaj doing meditation, dharana what are the difference that you felt.
Prof. Rajindra Giri: The thing for which we are worried about are the worldly thing like for our children, for our spouse or for the future. All of that tension was gone after coming to Sahaj Yoga. And now there is no tension left and we have complete satisfaction in it whatever is going to happen with us or whatever situations through which we will go is definitely happening under some divine guidance and we are thank Shri Mataji for that.
Interviewer: Ok we keeping the satisfaction aside, about the change in the style that when you come to Sahaj and you step into spiritual life doing meditation, dharana. If we talks specifically about Sahaj Yoga what do you feel– you hold a very important position you are associated with college, there are many aspects of life that are coming in front of you. First you have to look after your staff and it is obvious that you have direct communication with students and the overall responsibility as a dean of the college. How Sahaj Yoga compliments you so that you could be able to execute your work efficiently.
Interviewer: The first thing I would like to say that in Sahaja Yoga Shri Mataji have taught us to control our ego, so that was very important for me, that too separate us from our achievements like “I am doing this, I am doing that” so our behaviour with everybody is equal and very normal, like we interact with our family members in our house. So this is a big benefit of doing Sahaj Yoga.
Interviewer: How this change came?
Prof. Rajindra Giri: The change comes with meditation and dharana
Interviewer: How much time do you have to spend on this Giri Ji?
Prof. Rajindra Giri: There is no need to put a lot of effort in meditation like there is no need to sit for hours in meditation, Shri Mataji has told that no matter you give a small amount of time but in that time you must be connected with yourself and God. And this time is enough.
Interviewer: With all the interviews with all the guest who come here everybody talks about this fact, they talk about Kundalini Jagran do you believe that it becomes so strong that in such a little time doing meditation for 15 minutes would reach that state where he could get connected with God?
Prof. Rajindra Giri: As you have asked how much time it is necessary to sit in this, it is better to set with all our attention and concentration rather than sitting for long hours in meditation.
Interviewer: No it has become very common to talk about attention and concentration in any branches of yoga so what is the additional benefit of doing Sahaj yoga that improves your attention?
Prof. Rajindra Giri: The basic thing in Sahaj Yoga is the Kundalini Jagran in itself, as Foundation stone is laid first before building the whole structure, likewise with the blessings of Shri Mataji you got that same feeling at the beginning which is normally felt after years of Austerities(Sadhana). Saints who are still now sitting in the Jungle and doing their tapasya /austerities who was searching for years. So in Sahaja Yoga with the blessings of Shri Mataji, you got that experience at first which you are searching and God realisation is felt because of that awakening of Kundalini. And as the Kundalini Rises, the practitioner who is practising, the changes comes voluntarily inside him.
Interviewer: That means where you do not have to do anything from outside. Corruption will end, Adultery will end and there is no need to take classes for time management. God has given you everything. And thing that you need is, after all these meetings it is very clear that if changes will come it will happen from inside and you do not have to spend 10 hours, as all our guest who have come here have said it is very necessary for you to have that feeling of quest that search for God and when you start that put some effort,
God himself gives you all the necessary things and the travel begins and when you come to Sahaj you have development all around you, and the development does not correspond to some specific field like if you are a scientist then you will get some scientific development or if you are suffering from illness then only you can get the benefit of yoga. If you are doing meditation after joining Sahaj it doesn’t matter from which field you are from the benefits will come guaranteed and that benefit will be such it will give more tolerance to you than others.
Interviewer: Giri Ji you are related to creative Field one thing I would like to request you that on behalf of News Dnn that people who are doing creative work mainly in art, music, dance, drama etc for them what is the benefit in Sahaja Yoga. Is there something special for them in Sahaja Yoga.
Prof. Rajindra Giri: Yes there is a special system for inside our body we have seven chakras which God has given us. When Kundalini Shakti does its work in the second Chakra all the people who are associated in or working in the field of Arts they get special blessings, and the position today they are in they become far better in future. Because whatever problem that he is facing in his art our Kundalini Shakti eliminate that problem and it helps that artist to go forward.
Interviewer: People who are in the field of Arts they get a special blessings on this swadhisthana Chakra, and its quality is enhanced because of this the person who is related to artistic field performs better. Giri ji you have come to our Studio and shared your experiences with us and we would ask one question, why should people do Sahaj yoga? A little request from our audience.
Prof. Rajindra Giri: Sahaj yoga is not only for people who are in distress, the field of Sahaj yoga is very vast and the benefits are countless with my experience of all these years I could definitely say that big or small or whatever place you may be they will definitely get the benefit not just physically or mentally these are by-products of Sahaj yoga. To get the spiritual benefit you should do Sahaja Yoga. And when we do this Sahaj yoga keeping this as primary aim or objective then all the other things which are related to our life be it physical or worldly and they all are fulfilled automatically and we should have only one aim that we should get God, no other things or any other physical material.
The thing that happens in any type of yoga we go there but our desire towards material things remains, our attention towards our physical pain is much more and because of that we could not focus towards the actual object of desire and therefore the quantity of benefit that we should have got remains less, so it is my request to all of you do Sahaj yoga only with the objective to get God but not to get relief of your diseases, or to earn money or to get profits in your business. If we can get connected to God in all of this things will become fixed automatically I can say that with all the experiences I had in all these years.
Interviewer: So viewers this was our meeting with professor in Rajindra Giri resident of Buldhana living in Nagpur related to artistic field this personality who have told that after coming to Sahaj yoga especially the artists and other people who are related to this field what kind of benefits that they can get, the journey will continue do not go anywhere, every week we will have a new guest until then give us permission to leave namaskar.
Narrator: Viewers so this was the meeting with professor Rajindra Giri from Buldhana Maharashtra. Audience this journey will continue like this and every journey definitely gave us something.
