My health has improved by about eighty per cent.” Anna Kargaity, a Canadian who
suffered from depressive psychosis is full of smiles today. “I now have a
positive outlook towards life, being able to develop my own personality and
express my feelings”, she says. Similar benefits were highlighted by Belinda
from Australia, Kumar from Canada, Bryan from USA and others.
On being asked as to why so many foreigners are coming to India,
when advanced medicines are available with doctors of modern medicine all over
the world, late Dr. U. C. Rai once commented, “The doctors abroad don't have a
treatment for the psyche of human being, except giving tranquillizers,
sedatives and anti-depressant drugs. These are not only harmful, but also
habit-forming. In view of this, Sahaja yoga, which can control the psyche of
human being by meditation, has become very popular to the treatment and
prevention of psychosomatic diseases like bronchial asthma, migraine, irritable
bowel syndrome, infertility, multiple sclerosis and spondylitis, to name a few.
It is all due to the blessings of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, who founded Sahaja
Yoga centre, and has enlightened thousands of people all over the world.”
Theodore Efstathiou from Greece
In February of 2002, I was at the Sahaja Yoga Health Centre at
Belapur, in order to dust off some more negativity from my subtle system. On
the 19th of February, it was the sixth anniversary of the operation of the
centre. For the occasion, a puja was offered to our Divine Mother. Vibrations
were very strong and it was very auspicious to have attended such a puja. The
event marks a milestone and it is a good opportunity to say a few things about
the centre, about its operation and the need for it.
Those with medical problems
The question was raised in the past, as to why Sahaja Yogis need
to come to the centre for treatment. The question hardly needs any answer when
one has some evident medical or severe emotional problem. In such a case, one
should consult a physician and determine the ailment and its cause. Normal
practice is for Sahaja Yogis to follow the recommendations of doctors.
It should be noted that the centre has achieved cures or
improvements in cases where medical science could offer no relief whatsoever.
Even if you receive the full medical treatment specified by your doctor, you
may still wish to come to the clinic. Sahaja Yoga practice is the way to cure a
medical problem. This must be emphasized.
In sickness, the medical profession simply eliminates the
symptom. Medical practice does not cure. A cure is effected only when the
negativity in the subtle system that caused a disease to manifest is itself
eliminated. Otherwise, the cause is still in the subtle system and the patient
simply begins to work himself into something worse.
Only fragments remain of the works of the ancient Greek
philosopher Heracletus from Ephesus (circa 500 BC). In one of them he says,
“The doctors, by cutting and burning, they work up the same as the diseases and
they receive payment, which they do not deserve.” This is as applicable then as
it is today, despite all the progress in medicine.
Socrates has explained this more fully by saying that “No doctor
knows himself. This is the reason he is a doctor.” Putting this in the language
of our Sahaja culture, it says that “No doctor is self-realized and this is the
reason he is a doctor.”
Yogis with medical problems should consider going to the centre
to benefit from the experience and focused attention of the Sahaja Yoga doctors
there.
Those without medical problems
With respect to persons who have no medical problems, the
natural question is why one should take the big step and come to the health
centre. Once Professor Rai quoted our Holy Mother, who said that the negativity
in Sahaja Yogis is so strong, that they cannot feel their catches.
This is a very strong statement by our Holy Mother. It indicates
that unless you can feel your catches, your spiritual ascent may be very
difficult to achieve. It is after you understand your problem that you can
eliminate it.
In order to appreciate Shri Mataji's remark, She has stated that
the number of diseases that exist is the total number of combinations and
permutations of the chakras. On the three channels there are twenty-one
chakras, so the total number of combinations and permutations can be computed
as the product of 21 x 20 x 19 x 18 ... 3 x 2 x 1.
I tried to compute this expression on my computer in integer
format and the computer run out of numbers. So I used Stirling's approximate
method to estimate the value of this product and it turns out to be of the
order of ten raised to the eighteenth power. This is a fantastically big number
and is of the order of a quintillion. This shows the hopeless task with which
the medical profession and the bio-technologists are faced in trying to
determine the genetic code of diseases in order to effect cures.
At the same time, it also gives an idea of the fact that in each
one of us, the condition of the subtle system is not as simple as it might be
indicated because we feel a chakra catching. Of course, no human ever attains
this fantastic number of catches.
To ascertain the condition of the subtle system and to treat the
various catches and cross-catches, a person who has a well developed vibratory
awareness is required. Such people are the doctors to be found in the health
centre at Belapur. Such people are the ones who can balance a subtle system and
get a person on their way to spiritual ascent.
What this points out is the fact that when people who have lived
an average life and have had no unusual experiences, it is not easy to feel and
understand the inner workings of affirmations, mantras and treatments.
Routine at the centre
During your stay at the health centre your attention is set on
your spiritual progress and on nothing else. There is a morning meditation at 8
am and an evening meditation at about 7 pm, which includes watching a video or
listening to a talk by our Holy Mother from an audio tape. You will have the
opportunity to get up at 4 am, in order to get to the lawn for a very early
meditation and prayers. In this way, you will get the experience of the
difference it makes to have early meditation, as our Holy Mother urges us. You
will also get the experience of feeling Mother Earth as a Goddess who is there
to help you by sucking from your feet all your negativity, when at this early
hour you walk around saying Her mantra and asking Her to absorb the negativity.
The doctors see you twice a day and they prescribe to you the
treatment that you have to give to yourself until the next time they see you.
The idea of the treatment is to get the Ida and Pingala Nadis to balance, so
that you are always on the Sushumna Nadi. In so doing, they can tell which
chakras need to be corrected next, thus finding the way in the labyrinth of the
cross-catches that exist in you.
The techniques used in the health centre are not different than
what has already been published either in the Sahaja Yoga Prayer Book or
in other treatment publications. What really counts is that the grounds are
highly vibrated. Our Holy Mother has Her attention on the health centre and She
effects all cures. It must be appreciated that the Goddess is realized by
devotion. Once you are here, you are devoted, for there is nothing else to
distract your attention. Mother has said that prayer is the greatest weapon of
a Sahaja Yogi. The health centre is a very good place to learn devotion and
surrender to our Holy Mother and to learn how to pray effectively.
