…... And He is the one who is going to look after. So you don’t have to worry so much about earning money by any crooked method or by any means without any values to earn money. To be worried about money, to be worried about your well being is absurd. Krishna has said Yogakshema vahamyaham. He said you get your yoga. If you get your yoga then you get your kshema, which means your well being. The other day somebody asked Me what is the way to Lakshmi? – is first to get your yoga. Why didn’t he say kshema yoga …. He said yoga kshema vahamyaham… first yoga? First you get united with your Divine force and then your well being is looked after. It is looked after. Even if I tell you the stories of that you won’t believe to what extent it looks after your kshema also. You don’t become Mr. Ford because that’s madness. You become a person who is provided for, who is looked after and who never feels the dearth that there is no money with you. That’s what is, kshema is. In which your health improves, material things improve, everything improves once you have got yoga which is promised by Shri Krishna six thousand years back. I am not saying something new, it was said about six thousand years back. So you become a realized soul. By becoming realized soul you realize that your Father God almighty is the richest man in the whole world. He has everything. From where does it come? It comes from Him. Riches that we think are riches not really riches. The one He gives you, the one He provides you are miraculous. These are miraculous things and when it happens…..

…. Whatever desires you have are fulfilled. But those desires are not for gross things. It has a kind of benevolence. And all your little desires are fulfilled as said by Krishna “ Yogakshemam Vahamyaham” When your Yoga will establish then you will get blessings. But he said Yoga first and not the blessings….

The Essence of Gita, Delhi 1986
http://www.amruta.org/1986/02/20/the-essence-of-gita-delhi-1986/
.....Shri Krishna Himself has said ‘Yogakshema Vahamyaham’. First He said ‘yoga’. Why did He not say ‘Kshema Yoga’?
Many people ask Me in the West that how is it in Your country there’s so much of poverty and that You talk that it’s a Yoga bhumi? Because we have not taken to yoga so far. And Kshema doesn’t mean how may pubs you have in your village, it doesn’t mean how many drunkards move about in your village, it means, how many saints there are in your country. Let the Yoga come up, you’ll be surprised this great country of Bharat Bhoomi will one day show its merit to the whole world. In its reality, in its glory and in its Divinity which resides in this country.

Attention Should be on God, Mumbai 1986
http://www.amruta.org/1986/01/20/attention-should-be-on-god-mumbai-1986/
.........There was a caste system according to your karmas, according to your doings, not according to where you are born. Otherwise, how could Valmiki be called a brahma rishi? And how could Vyasa, who was an illegitimate child of a fisherwoman, could be called as the greatest of greatest? All these false ideas have to fall out, and for that we have to start a new system. And a new system has to come forward through the people who have achieved their yoga. Shri Krishna Himself has clearly said, “yogakshema vahamyaham” – when you get your yoga, you will get kshema. Always He has said about yogis. He has used the word yogis for that. These yogis have to come that, and as you have read in the Pasaydaan just now you have heard about it that the forests, forests of these great people who are kalpatarus, who are the givers of your desires, will be walking. These are the yogis. And the oceans of this talking nectar will be talking about God. These are the yogis. Others are all ordinary useless people, will be frittered away. Only the yogis will be respected in the kingdom of God. And we have to bring the kingdom of God on this earth. First in India, then everywhere. Here it is going to come. Now people might say Marxism, this ism, that ism. Tukaraama has said ava ghaachi samsaara sukha cha kari. He said it. Same – Marx says the same. He says that the whole world should be so… such a happy place, such a happy place that there should be no state. How? Nobody asked him how. He talks of evolution. How? How the evolution is going to take place? Ask him. Ask all these communists. They are not becoming better people. Are they? Who is...

The Meaning of Yoga, Dollis Hill Ashram 1979
http://www.amruta.org/?s=The+Meaning+of+Yoga
.....instead. Such a hotch potch of endeavor brings forth so many Yogas in this world. And everybody is baffled at it that how it is that there are so many Yogas and this Yoga and that Yoga and Buddha or Mahabir or Christ. Then Church Yoga “And what is wrong in witchcraft” somebody said the other day. Nothing wrong but the bull will settle down better, it won’t rise then. Now, so they have tried to find out what should we do ? Stand on your heads, bull won’t rise, it won’t. So what should we do ? We should know what is the Kundalini that is within us. All these Yogas that have come up, have been depicted from the experiences of people. Because some people when they try to raise the Kundalini “so called” say they started jumping. The Kundalini does not rise. Some people started taking off their clothes or may be some such sort of a funny thing. They felt heated u p. So people thought let us take off our clothes and we’ll find God. Some people felt some sort of a grip on the stomach or some of them did see also these things happening within. So they called it a Moolbandha. The ‘bandha’ has taken place, something has gripped there. So the KriyaYoga is that, you take out your tongue from here. You cut this thread of the tongue from here and you push it back here, touch the tip of the tongue here where normally it is wagging. Push it back here at the Vishuddhi centre, they think the Vishuddhi is here. The problem is that they think the Vishuddhi is here. So they push it back here. They think they will achieve the raising of Kundalini by this. It is just the other way round, we are trying, you see. The effect cannot reach the cause. You have to go to the root of cause to come to the effect. Did you see my point ? Supposing the Vishuddhi Chakra which is here, a very subtle centre behind, is spoilt then the effects are felt, say, here. And your tongue gets affected, your eyes get effected, your nose gets affected, your cheeks get affected, There are 16 you see. All these can get affected. But by tickling your nose you do not touch the Vishuddhi Chakra. Isn’t it ? Did you see my point ? For example , something goes wrong at the centre from where the electricity is coming here. By tickling it here you cannot correct that one there. You have to go to the roots. Or on a tree you find a fruit. All the fruits are getting..

Thousands of people can get it because the Blossom Time has come. But even if they get realization, they have to be looked after, they have to be nourished, they have to be told about it.

....of you have seen her. She is a very good girl. So our family is going to increase now in size. So, no questions? Something? Shandor? All in thoughtless awareness? [Shri Mataji laughs] I mean the name of our Sahaja Yoga is really Maha-Yoga, is the one where you meet, you know. So this is a Maha-Yoga, because the whole thing has been Sahaja only. From the very beginning it is spontaneous, everything, I mean our Nose, Eyes everything has come to us spontaneous, we have done nothing about it. But now the thing where we really meet the Ultimate, that’s the point is called as Maha-Yog’, means the greatest Yoga. Like till I came here, till you didn’t see Me, it was still half way, so Yoga was not there, whatever it was it was not real Yoga, you see, you are making preparations, you are making all the arrangements and everything was there, but when we meet is the Yoga. So the point where you meet is the real place and that’s why it is the Maha-Yoga. Like you, I am coming to London by plane, till Frankfurt I am not in London, till I have landed in London also I am not there because I haven’t yet met you. Till I met you at the gate there was no Yoga, so that’s the point, that’s the movement, the splint of the movement where you meet your Spirit, is the Yoga. So it is actually Maha-Yoga, but in the beginning I didn’t want to call you, call it a Maha-Yoga, because as it is the serpents of ego were there … [Shri Mataji laughs] … with all their complete hood on top of My head so I said, better start it with Sahaja, because if I had said, this is Maha-Yoga they would all come and hit Me hard saying that: Oh God, how can that be? But it is that! And now it is being established that there is something about it, that it is working out because people have seen their Kundalini rising, they have seen the – ah – all the Chakras being awakened and everything with their own eyes and now they believe in it, that they know that there is something about it and that it is happening and there is something about this Lady also, that this is happening, otherwise it is a difficult thing. I mean it is very difficult, no doubt. .....

The intensity of the period is not by-the-way. It’s. not any more Sahaja Yoga. It is Maha Yoga now. And you have to become Maha, you have to become great, otherwise you cannot be there. You have to jump out of all these things…

How to Realise the Self, Delhi 1979
http://www.amruta.org/1979/03/08/how-to-realise-the-self-delhi-1979/
….. Audience: Mother, what is Sahaja Yoga?
Sahaja Yoga. Sahaja. Saha – means with, ja – means born. Sahaja means it is born with you. Yoga is born with you. So that you have the right, it is your birthright to get union with God. It’s your birthright. You are born with it.Sahaja – it has a double meaning, as you know, sahaja also means easy. But actually the word sahaja comes from this – sa-ha-ja – saha means with, ja means born. Born with you. And sahaja in our talking it says: sahaj [mein ? hindi word. - ed.] means easily, because it is born with you. We are breathing now so easily, because it is born with us, it is sahaj. Supposing for breathing if we have to stand on our heads, or we had to, say, read books, we would have been dead long time back. It comes sahaja – spontaneous. We cannot do anything about it, it’s all done for you. Unnecessarily we are breaking our heads here and there. Just wait and see – it will work out. The time has come. This is Sahaja Yoga – is the Mahayoga as they call it. They call it as the Mahayoga because this is – this is the highest of all, where the Kundalini rises just like that……

Q. [NOT AUDIBLE]
The Sahaja Yogi: Do the first stages in Sahaja Yoga consist of meditation and how they beneficial physiological changes?
Shri Mataji: No, it is, you see, we do not understand the meaning of meditation actually. You are not to meditate, but you are in meditation in Sahaja Yoga. You become meditative by temperament. Now, I would suggest like this that in the beginning why I said you have to meditate, because I would like to tell you actually that word is not so suitable, but I said that you have to little bit cooperate with Me how to help your Kundalini to rise. That's the process we are going to have in a very simple words. But I said meditate because that's all could make the smaller way of saying things. But actually in Sahaja Yoga the practice of Sahaja Yoga is very different from any kind of meditation, of concentration or anything. There are very simple ways by which you have to correct your left or right side and to be in the center. And then when you are in the center the growth take place. Is very simple and luckily we are going to have next Thursday a very good workshop where they will tell you all the details how it has to be done. And they'll solve all your questions and all your problems there. And lots of people are going to be in that place where you'll find solutions to all these questions you ask. Thursday they are going to have a very good workshop……..

The Sahaja Yogi: Do the first stages in Sahaja Yoga consist of meditation and how they beneficial physiological changes?

According to the talks of Shri Mataji, the Logical explanation about Sahaja Meditation
According to the talks of Shri Mataji’s explanation definition of Sahaja Yoga and YOGA
SAHA means with us,
JA means born, so, what is born with us? It is our Kundalini.
YOGA means connection/union with the GOD/ Adi Shakti.
Each Sahajayogi is connected/united (i.e. YOGA) to Shri Mataji through his Kundalini (SAHAJA)
So, if we take out YOGA word, it means no connection with GOD/Shri Mataji.
Meditation that we do daily is the Sahaja yoga. It is the living process through which, we are connected to GOD/Shri Mataji
In Sahaja Meditation,
Sahaja means Kundalini
No YOGA word means, no connection with the God.
That means in Sahaja Mediation, Kundalini is there but not been raised to Sahastrara, So without word “YOGA” and with the word “Meditation” people will be on agnya level not on Sahastrara.
Meditation is a state, which happens, when Kundalini pierces through Sahastrara..
Meditation is a step or medium to travel to achieve our Ascent. In Sahaja Yoga, there are many stages like Nirvichara, Nirvikalpa and Samadhi, etc…and many different aspects that we do in Sahaja yoga like, havans, pujas etc..
So we cannot define or limit Sahaja Yoga to meditation. or change name to Sahaja Mediation or Sahaja Yoga mediation. But in the Evolutionary process Sahaja Yoga has become Maha Yoga.
So, no YOGA means no KSHEMA i.e. no benevolence.
Fun Fact: In India People who meditate are called YOGIS not Meditators.
Jai Shri Mataji
Happy Sahasrara Day i.e.means real "YOGA" day.
