Sahaja Yoga- Shri Mataji: Awards and Accolades

Awards & Accolades

History has witnessed many incarnations one after another-in different parts of the world. They brought Religions with them. However, the religion, which was intended to civilize humanity, and inculcate love and unity, instead tended to compartmentalize, divide the religion. Each religion was great in its own way. But, each religion started claiming that they had their Unique God. How can anybody have a different God for Hindus, Christians or the Islam? How can there be four Gods? There can be only one Creator for the whole humanity. Hence, there can be only one religion and only one GOD.
