The quality of Swadisthan on the right side is creativity, i.e. truly inspired thoughts, ideas and actions. The quality of Swadhistan on the left side is pure knowledge, i.e. the truly discerning and discriminating power to see the innate nature of things at a new stage in our awareness called vibrational awareness.

The fundamental quality of this first Chakra, the Mooladhara, is innocence, which forms the basis of every righteous (dharmic) character. This innocence is the type of quality, which is evident in babies and small children. It represents action without motive or desire for gross personal gain.

A presentation on the 3 channels of the subtle system and each chakra in turn. At each chakra, a relevant talk by Shri Mataji (founder of Sahaja Yoga meditation) is played. Music with a guided meditation is also included.

The Vishuddhi chakra has sixteen petals, each with different qualities and functions. On the physical side, it looks after throat, arms, face, mouth, teeth, etc., so they must all be taken care of. For instance, protecting yourself from the cold, avoiding tobacco, taking proper dental care, and so on. This is particularly important for your vibratory awareness, as the nerves which register the vibrations in the hands pass through this centre.

The Anahat (Heart) is the home of Self, Soul, Spirit, Atma, all one and meaning the same. Time and time again Her Holiness Shri Mataji has told us: ‘You are nothing but your eternal Spirit.’ This centre has to be treated with the greatest respect and understanding. Pure love, which enlightens all, is the true quality of the Heart.

The Agnya Chakra, sometimes called the third eye, is placed at the centre of the brain. When Kundalini passes through the chakra, our thought waves elongate so that the space between two thoughts grows wider. As the petals of the chakra open, silence blossoms in the centre and spreads outwards, pushing the thoughts to the periphery of your awareness. In thoughtless awareness, you actually feel this beautiful silence which is at the heart of creation. Just like the vibrations, this expansion of silence is a wave created without percussion. Absolute and therefore beyond causality, all you can say is that it is.

Part of the Hindu epic The Mahabharata, The Bhagavad Gita is one of the enduring religious texts of the world.

The Bhagavad Gita is an ancient Sanskrit poem that recounts the conversation between Arjuna the warrior and his charioteer Shri Krishna, Himself a manifestation of the Divine.

In the moments before the great battle, Shri Krishna sets out the important lessons Arjuna must learn to understand the meaning of his life and his key role in the war he must fight to protect Good from Evil.

Shri Krishna reveals to Arjuna His true cosmic form and inspires the warrior to act according to his sacred obligations.

Shri Mataji’s Sahaja Yoga meditation teaches us that the principle of Shri Krishna resides in the Vishuddhi chakra of our subtle system, in the throat. This centre has the qualities of playfulness, collectivity, diplomacy and the detached witness state.

In the words of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi: “The Bhagavad Gita says that you become Sakshi Swarup – the witness of the play of the Divine.”

Music has a powerful effect on the kundalini and on the clearing and balancing of the chakras. Balanced music emits a sound with vibrations which can activate the chakras. This can help us have a stronger experience of meditation.

This program features 3 Sahaja yogis, professional musicians, Rithom Sarkar (Slide Guitar), Asmira Woodward-Page (Violon) and Lene Jeffrey (Voice, Guitar and Harmonium) who will share their personal experience with enlightened music and will perform live in the studio. The program also features a short workshop on the meaning and power of AUM, a guided meditation in music and two extracts of Shri Mataji about the effect of music on our chakras.

“In the triangular bone, called sacrum, there is a residual power of pure desire. This bone was known to the ancient Greeks and Romans, who called it sacrum. This means that they knew that it was a sacred bone. This power is termed as kundalini in the Sanskrit language.

At this time, I would like to say very humbly that one should not discard this knowledge as useless because it is coming from a developing country (in the Western terminology) like India. The Western culture has now advanced greatly as far as outward scientific life is concerned.”

“Science cannot answer many questions. So many in medical science have now tried to reach the minutest thing, called the gene. But the scientists are frustrated because they cannot go any further with the help of these genes to really overcome the complications created by modern life. The conclusion they have reached that genes are only inherited is absolutely wrong. Actually, genes also reflect our personality that we create in day-to-day life. All our sympathetic activity is reflected on our genes as well.”

“So people are fighting in the name of God and there is no world peace. Behind all these activities, there is also powerful money orientation and, when it comes to economics, the people of the highest order in a religion succumb to compromise, however immoral it may be. They have neither character nor courage nor real faith to resist fashionable trends of money business. In fact, they allow their followers to swim with the evil currents of the day and, thus, lead them into hell from where there is no return. These religions inject fixed ideas into the brains of people. These fixed ideas start developing in a collective way and this can produce a very big, collective monster, which can believe only in killing others and pushing its own ideas.”
