Let’s Find out How was Mother’s Day Celebration in Halton and Learn about Loving People
On May 11, 2025 as well on May 11, 2011 Mother’s Day was celebrated with a Free Public Seminar offered in Burlington by Sahaja Yoga Meditation Network volunteers
This was originally an article posted in 2011. You might recognize the older photos (the joy from loving group of people is still transmitted through), as well there are quotes of sahaja yoga wisdom shared back then.
It just happened to find this older article and I felt to refresh it with photos from today! On May 11, 2025, on the actual Mother’s Day we had a lovely 100 seeds of Joy FREE seminar offered in Burlington; it offered a guided meditation (much appreciated!), chakra energy learning, sharing, and of course, our lovely community potluck that is always a success.
All images above and a few below are from Mother’s Day celebrated on May 11, 2025 by Sahaja Yoga Meditation Network team in a Burlington community (“family photos” by the end)
You might want to explore also the loving motherly notes shared below – quotes from Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi , the founder of Sahaja Yoga Meditation. Love begets love!
If you continue to spend some time on our blog, you will realize that Shri Mataji is like the respected Grandmothers from the Indigenous sphere, always pointing towards Mother Earth’s divine qualities and how a loving Collectivity must prevail.
Important Quote from Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi with Recollection from and Mother’s Day celebrated on May 11, 2011 at the Burlington Sahaja Yoga Meditation Class. Enjoy!
“The first thing and the foremost thing you have to give me is congenial, beautiful, loving group that they love each other!” says Shri Mataji (spiritual holy mother and teacher for sahaja yogis)
That Burlington Class, on May 11, 2011, dedicated to Mother’s Day, was totally special. We had gathered together exactly as ‘that group’ named in the ‘Love Quote’ shared above. We would have made proud any mother in the world! We came from all four free sahaja yoga meditation classes that our team of volunteers are currently offering in Halton: Burlington, Burlock, Oakville and Milton-Mississauga and we enjoyed a collective meditation, a short powerful workshop, a video-talk and then we all have shared, one by one our experiences with this meditation, our progress, our personal relationship with the Mother Principle /energy as well we have opened our hearts to each other. The vibrations were amazing!
It was all about love, respect and a pure adoration for each other, for the beautiful manifestation of this divine energy that we can see, feel and receive from ‘the other’, our ‘sahaj relatives’ that we meet and grow with at our Halton classes. The word ‘Love’ was omnipresent at this get-together! We were engulfed in this pure, genuine, powerful, generous and selfless love! It was really touching to hear ‘declarations of love’ from one to another, how few newer ones can see Motherly qualities in the ‘older’ sahaja yogis ..like Sonia that was mentioning (mama) Carmella 🙂 .. just 1 example of so many others!
We had a few new friends, that came for the 1st time in our meditation group, and they declared that the Love in this group is palpable and the positive energy in the room is extraordinary. Then we have enjoyed beautiful bhajans and table music with Saathya and Ahilan (wife and husband, both coming to our Halton classes) – so our hearts and chakras were wide open, our mind was peaceful and in bliss. Such an amazing evening!
We have posted few more photos below, including a quote from the founder of sahaja yoga meditation, herself a mother, grand mother, great great mother and a guru-mother for millions around the Globe. All, unifying the Globe as One Heart. Please, enjoy the powerful quote below and the photos, and further share your experiences that evening.. or your impressions.
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi – the founder of Sahaja Yoga Meditation – says:
“Then, with Sahaja Yogis, among your selves, how you behave is extremely important for others to see. We must cherish each other’s company, we must cherish – to meet some Sahaja Yogis, ah, what a joy it is to see someone or to talk to someone on phone.”
“But because we are so insular, so selfish, so greedy, and sometimes very much engulfed into our past, that we cannot do that, we do not feel that joy, we cannot adore another Sahaja Yogi, we do not enjoy another Sahaja Yogi, we cannot cherish his company. That means this finger cannot feel this finger [i.e. from the same hand], it’s like developing a disease what you call leprosy, the nerves are finished, nerve endings are not there, you cannot feel the joy of other Sahaja yogis and this is only possible if you get over your personal interests.”
“You have to cherish others, give presents to others – …..- you must cherish their company, it’s such a great thing to have somebody who understands you, your spirit and they have the spirit, such a great thing !”
“How can you be unkind to each other, that hurts me the most of all – and the first thing and the foremost thing you have to give me is congenial, beautiful, loving group that they love each other. If that is achieved that you love each other beyond your personal considerations – try to do more than others – I know sometime people will try to take advantage of you, but they will go out of Sahaja Yoga – so be sure that you become generous about it, very generous and generosity should start with your own Sahaja Yogi brothers and sisters.” (Extract from: “Sahaja Culture & Ego” lecture offered by Shri Mataji on October 26, 1985, New Jersey, USA)

The evening was rich in music, experiences were shared, beautiful evening! When you grow in Sahaha Yoga, your heart expands to a whole new level, because there are so many great seekers opening up, growing up,evolving up!
The (sahaja)spontaneous meditation journey
has palpable, sensory,life changing results! You naturally want to share smiles, hugs,experiences and are witnessing a revolution of evolutionary growth in each of us. I love to visit different locations and feel the vibes which are always positive. There is always a sea of warm, smiling, genuine people that are united in seeking truth.

So heart opening and warming when I see all of you growing in that inner stillness…the collectivity helps so much to grow that connection in thoughtless awareness. The guided meditations help establish a lift off into that higher consciousness and yoga connection. And from experience, I can tell you it is a step into the present that soothes, heals, evolves our being into such a profound thoughtless awareness… that gives us access to developing our superpowers. These articles are like postcards that beckon to join from all corners of the world. they say, “wish you were here!” And we are all able to access “here”together, from wherever we are, because we are all united in the collective consciousness when meditating in those few moments throughout our day. Those moments get wider and return us to balance and joy. You are all shining and glowing.
