  • I felt my heart open in waves

    I felt my heart open in waves

    I travelled up with a friend from Glasgow and we arrived at the place where Shri Mataji was meeting people on a beautiful sunny summer’s afternoon. It was a small establishment, which was capable of accommodating a reasonable number of people. In the evening, everybody congregated in a large room and Shri Mataji came and…

  • I know you have been waiting for Me

    I know you have been waiting for Me

    The first time I met Shri Mataji was 1979. We had had our realisation in April in Shimla but we hadn’t met Shri Mataji yet. She came from London to Delhi in August and did a public programme. We went down to meet Shri Mataji there. We sat right in front and I was with…

  • In the garden

    In the garden

    There was a boy out in the garden, in Dollis Hill ashram. Shri Mataji was twirling Her finger, as if She had the Sudarshan chakra of Shri Krishna around Her finger, and She destroyed the negativity in him. At one point this man had his eyes closed and Mother held an onion in front of…

  • It was a lot easier to be thoughtless after that

    It was a lot easier to be thoughtless after that

    I first met Shri Mataji on the 26th July 1979. I don’t think I actually got my realisation then, as Shri Mataji said it took a couple of weeks. The first experience was Shri Mataji invited some of us to a flat in Ashley Gardens. I had voices going on in my head all the…

  • Lemons and chillies

    Lemons and chillies

    Shri Mataji was curing false guru victims at Crosscraig with lemons. I saw Her putting lemons on a chakra and then burning the lemon in a candle. It was when She burnt the lemon in a candle that I would notice that the catch in the person being worked on would disappear. Shri Mataji cooked…

    More about the seminar

    One time Shri Mataji kept us up all night, and being summer the nights were only about two hours long. We went outside as the sun rose, about three in the morning, in a golden line over the loch. Shri Mataji said the negativity had come for us in the night and had had a…

  • Not enough words to thank Her

    Not enough words to thank Her

    In 1979, we were living in Shimla, a hill station in the Himalayas, and got our realisation from a strong Sahaja Yogi, Maneesh Singh. ‘You have got realisation,’ he said, but I told him that I would only believe it when Shri Mataji Herself told me so. We went to Delhi to meet Her and…

  • Please do anything

    Please do anything

    After the momentous few days of meeting Shri Mataji I returned to Scotland to a veritable ocean of problems, and gloom set it. Shri Mataji phoned me and I told Her that I felt I was too far gone, and that She could not save me. She told me that if I did not face…

  • She never stopped working on everybody

    She never stopped working on everybody

    At night Shri Mataji would ask the people to go, and we would direct vibrations while She slept, and She would wake up and comment on something and then fall back to sleep again. She never stopped working on everybody, just individually and collectively. She was working on every newcomer that came. People were coming…

  • Our eternal Mother

    Our eternal Mother

    When I was a child I used to have a recurrent dream. It came back a few times when I first got realisation. It went like this: I was in a beautiful, golden, shining place, and somehow all the others there had bodies of light. I asked Shri Mataji about this, and especially about the…
