SAHAJYOGA MEDITATION WORKSHOP AT SRINIVASA KALYANA MANDAPAM, TIRUCHANOOR ROAD,TIRUPATI , ON 23 & 24 JULY 2011.
By the Grace of Param Pujya Shri Mataji NirmalaDevi, Tirupati collective organized a workshop on 23&24 July 2011 preceded with a Havana on 22nd evening. This workshop was totally based on how to get Deeper into Nirvicharita(Thoughtless state) & Ekakarita(one with Godess Shri Mataji).
The program started by welcoming Shri Mataji in a procession from the Gate to the pandal Hall with hundreds of yogis carrying the Simhasana with Shri Matajis Divine photograph.

The whole atmosphere at pandal was so full of joy that every one felt the Vibrations flowing into them effortlessly. All the brothers and sisters were asked to recognize only Shri Mataji as source of Meditation and nobodyelse.

Dear brothers
Jai Shri Mataji.
I also was praying to Shri Mother along with Tirupathi Collective that all brothers and sisters who ever attend the workshop should go back with heart full of Shri Mataji and with an experience of complete oneness with Shri Mother.
I am joyous as any other yogi, to see and experience that Shri Mother's grace slowly unfolded and entire collectivity started experiencing the complete oneness with Shri Mataji.
At the end of the first day I asked who ever I could meet, to get the feed back and every body said that they enjoyed thoroughly the depth of meditation they had experienced.
Let these workshops happen every where and let all Sahajayogis enjoy!
We bow at your lotus feet Shri Mother , for all your blessings.
With lots of love and regards

Jai Sri Mataji Dear Family,
My Experience for tirupathi seminar is quite different.
I could not participate in all the meditation sessions with full attentiveness because we haven’t slept in the nights because of Decoration Work.
But Still SriMother gave me beautiful experiences in the seminar and after the seminar.
First of all starting with Friday we had a wonderful Havan with huge of collectivity.
After the havan all the Tirupathi yuvashakthis ,myself and other yuvas from different places have started with decoration.
As we are not confident in whats going to come up and how to do…Mother helped us in spontaneous way..As there was Mike Arrangements were going on…Few sahajis have played the Extracts of Mothers talk continuously..These were very powerfull talks…We all felt Very bilss full and had an spontenous meditaion where the vibrations were very strong…And from then onwards all the Decoration Work just flowed and we don’t know how the night has ended…Thanks to Mother And the Brother who played the Maa’s Talk…We thoroughly enjoyed throughout the night.
The experience is really awesome when SriMaa came inside the Seminar Hall through the procession. It was exactly as if SriMataji’s Sakshat arrival…The Song Swagat Agath was very bliss full and throwing the nectar of mothers love that the joy flowed in the form of tears for SriMaa’s Love.
The Meditation Experience was really good…I had the on and off of the vibrations in the Session but had a very calming and peaceful experience..where the time just flowed.As many people told about Knee pains, the knee pains were not there when I compare to the previous sessions I have attended.
But I have strongly felt that the content of the seminar is truly 100 % percent correct.Because I could see my self having much clarity on my attitude towards SriMataji.
We used to have lot of confusions, We do not know how to pray to Mother. Even though we might not felt very strong vibrations in the session ,The state ,Mediations will improve for sure after few days because we know how we have to be with Mother. Felt that this is the Pure ganesha principle that in our wisdom we understand clearly that Nothing is Greater Than My Mother And Nothing is Important than My Mother.
Hope all the sahajis should attend the seminar and be just like SriGanesha’s JJJ
And Now I am enjoying the same prayers to mother which we had in seminar and its working great on me.I found that I am finding more clarity on how to be with mother as introspection after the seminar is working now. I am enjoying being with Mother with her spontaneous loving nature.
I Wish I could attend the next seminar where I could fully enjoy the meditation sessions.
I am enjoying these moments of sharing my experience with the Family.
Much Love,
Bhagya.

Jai Shri Mataji
All the arrangements for the workshop were excellent. The stage decoration was beautiful, the havan was very peaceful and cleansing, the food was served with loving care, we shall cherish the gifts for ever.
This is the first workshop in the last 15 years in which we came really close to Shri Mataji and were drenched in Her divine cool vibrations. Memories of the seminar still linger fresh in our minds.
The procession of Shri Mataji was conducted with so much dignity and devotion and love. It was really an unforgettable experience.
Now we can feel the presence of Shri Mataji whenever we raise our hands towards the sky. We feel that Shri Mataji will always be with all of us and taking good care of us. Shri Mataji manthra has been working wonders ever since.
The workshop paved the way for sahaja yogis across India to come together and enjoy Her blessing in a wonderful way.
Jai Shri Mataji

Jai Shri Mataji
By the grace of shri Mathaji i attended the two days sahaj workshop at Tirupathi .The two days no thoughts except sahaja yoga.the first day during the course of meditation no thoughts disturbed and also no sleepiness.The entire collective enjoyed the love of shri Mathaji and there is no movement of yogis even for water and Tea. The second day i felt sleepiness in the mornig itself and i was so worried. Lot of disturbing thoughts immediatly followed by a chakar of sleep. Then while yogi brothers collectively asked to pray i humbly prayed to shri mathaji to relive me from the sleepiness and please allow me to enjoy the love. I get down from the chair and seated in the ground. As a miraqcle i was totally relived from the sllepiness and thoughts. My full attention is there on the workshop.As Yogi Brother said then and there i prayed to Shri Mathaji to bless me to use this entire moment for the upliftment of my self . After that i also enjoyed the Nirvichar state and enjoy the love of ShriMathaji. Almost all the yogis enjoyed the Nirvichar in this Workshop. My humble prayer to shri mathaji to bless me for attending all the sahaj seminar and workshop whereever and whenever conducted in all over the nation.
Even though it is not proper to say thanks to our Delhi brothers for conducting the seminar i pray to shri mathaji to bless the delhi and other brothern to conduct seminars and workshops of this type all over the world.
Thank you Shri mathaji

Practical seminar in Turupati
One more beautiful programme - a practical Sahaja Yoga seminar was
held last weekend in Tirupati in South India. We have described in the
past about similar programme in Solan city in April.
Since then several such almost bhajanless and speechless programmes
were held in various places arounf India. South India had hosted three
seminars (plus one in Tirupati) - one was held in Kerala and two in
Tamil Nadu.One more happened in Central India (Gadchiroli,
Maharashtra), and two in the Northern part of India - in Moradabad and
Baghpat (Uttar-Pradesh).
During the seminar in "temple town" of Tirupati one veteran sahaja
yogi Vijay Nalgirkar was asked to deliver a traditional welcome
address, to which he had reluctantly agreed. He did not speak much,
but told an interesting story of these unconventional seminars.
After reminding, that we have gathered there not to speak, Uncle said
that first seminar of this kind was held around the year 1989. Some
yogis have complained, that despite some years in Sahaja Yoga they are
unable to feel vibrations and never experienced thoughtless awareness.
For a practical experience yogis initially were gathering in Delhi
centre. "We were lucky, that Shri Mataji at that time often visited
Delhi", he said. She was told about this initiative. At some point of
time invitations for conducting such a seminar started coming from
other cities, and they started touring those places. Nobody was payed
money for this work, everyone traveled on his own expence as a
volunteer. This principal has been preserved.
Seminar in Tirupati went for two days and had a record number of
participants - about 800 from all over Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Pune,
Bangalore, Madras.
It began after breakfast about 10.30 am till lunch and then again till
about 6 pm. We actually were not time-bound, and just meditated until
our bodies and mind were filled with vibrations, all worries and
thoughts were gone.
There were almost no mantras during the seminar except for one
Mahamantra - The Name of Shri Mataji. We prayed to Her, asked Her to
help us, and could feel our attention rising to Sahastrara
collectively. Next day we started in the morning, and could feel, that
the previous day did not go in vain - people went to meditation almost
immediately. In the meanwhile musicians were performing Guru Stuti,
Devi Stuti and other prayers, and 1-2 minute long fragments of
Mother's talks were played to help attention reach Sahastrara.
Thanks to just a handful of brothers and sisters from Tirupati many
yogis from Andhra, where conditionings are rampant, discovered new
horizons of thoughtless awareness.
Each time one goes for this seminar, he may see more and more familiar
faces. Both "new" and "old" and even "ancient" sahaja yogis try to
catch a chance to immerse themselves into an ocean of vibrations and
prolonged uninterrupted meditation. Those of us, who have visited
several such seminars, could feel their attention becoming stronger.
Seems like everyone, who attended, left happy.
Jay Shri Mataji,
Your brother,

Dear all, only thing we can express is that we cud feel the ascent and more oneness with Shri Mataji.
we could experience more clearance and cleansing happening within us.More&More Joy Poring into
us.we practically are able to witness opposite persons getting the feel of our Vibrations just like that
whenever we talk to them.The yogis whom we have never met also could feel the vibrations whenever
we talk over the phone about these workshops taking place at different places in the recent past.
THANK YOU SHRI MATAJI.

Jai Shri Mataji,
I'm from Tenali, Guntur district. We want to share our happiness about Thirupathi seminar. We are thankful to mother to solve all my doubts, problems. Actually at seminar hall I've slept and felt that i am unable to follow any speeches. But at the time of leaving seminar hall I felt unhappy to go home. After reaching home, my heart is filled with lots of happiness and joy. I want to share this joy to all people at big sound ("CHAALA AANANDAMGA UNDI"). I enjoyed collectivity. Mother cleared all my doubts
1. THER'S NO ONE IN BETWEEN MOTHER AND ME.
2.. ABOUT CATCHINGS. 3. THE MOST IMPORTANT IS TO SURRENDER AND HAVING HUMBLE NATURE TOWARDS OUR LOVING MOTHER I had a great experience of getting close to mother... Love and affection towards mother is a lot increased. I'm feeling sooooo free. A bird will be so free and has freedom, now my heart is free and happy like a bird.
My family is also happy.
Not only i and my family, all the people who attended the seminar from Tenali center (40 members came) are enjoying a lot.
Thank you, thanks a lot................
Jai Shri Mataji
Jai shri mathaji.
First of all, sorry for the belated response regarding the tirupathi seminar
held in july. we around 20 sahajis from ongole, prakasam district, A.P.,
participated in the seminar. Every one of us felt happy regarding the way in
which seminar was conducted.
Many points were known from the seminar.
1. How to sit in meditation? Means if thoughts came when we sit in
meditation, by reciting shrimathaji, we will overcome thoughts whether it is
good or bad thoughts.
2. If problem arises, keeping the problem in front of shrimathaji and trying
to forget that problem, i.e., keeping faith in shri mathaji that shrimathaji
will solve that problem. Mountain like problem is a tiny small thing before
shrimathaji. She can do miracles and solve all our problems. presenting our
problems repeatedly, to shrimathaji till we get confidence that the Mother
will solve the particular problems.
3. before sitting in meditation, checking that do we have pure desire for
meditation and start thinking that before whom we sat for meditation i.e., shri
aadi shakthi who is there to protect us.
4. Shri mathaji removes all impurities from us when we sit in front of us.
5. There is no one in between I and Shrimathaji. Shrimathaji is our personal
mother. She is the mother of all sahajis. Surrenderness to the Shrimathaji.
Is becoming oneness with Shrimathaji means surrendering ourselves to
shrimathaji? Please explain.
Every one of us felt happy in participating worthful seminar and work shop.
Personally, I got sleep with dreams whenever I try to get nirvichara sthithi.
Whenever We, collectively,ask Shrimathaji to give nirvichara sthithi I got
sleep with dreams.
Shri mathaji please forgive me.
Jai shrimathaji.
