Sharing the Sublime Togetherness Experienced Today on MahaSamadhi Day of Feb 23rd, 2025
Please, take a few moments to look at the photos shared in this article, as well to absorb some quotes of wisdom as well a few stories: they all, together, are telling you about How Special Today – Shri Mataji’s MahaSamadhi Day – was for us, the Cultivators of Joy from Sahaja Yoga Meditation network of volunteers. We hope you will enjoy!
After My Death – Says Shri Mataji
Quote from Shri Mataji’s public speech – teaching about Auspiciousness vs Inauspiciousness:
“Auspiciousness gives you the right idea of Divine importance, means where the Divinity flows behind you and goes around you and takes you around and gives you the complete joy: the movement of the weight.
It’s a beautiful thing to be auspicious. It takes you away from inauspiciousness when you ask for auspiciousness.”
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi – excerpt from her speech at Caxton Hall in London, UK on October 2nd, 1978
Shri Mataji continues speaking:
“But do not make a ritual out of it, which I want to tell you hundred and hundred and one times that do not make a ritual of anything because you deaden it, like all other people have done it.
I hope after My death you people do not do all this. Because then it becomes a superstition.
Auspiciousness should never be confused with superstition. Because people were not that alert and not so subtle they could not make out what is ugliness, that is superstition, and what is beauty, that is Auspiciousness.”
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi – excerpt from her speech at Caxton Hall in London, UK on October 2nd, 1978
The White Swans of Lake Ontario welcomed the Flowers blessed by Shri Mataji’s vibrations
Paula shared the photos with the white swans; they have a subtle significance and are telling a special story.
Earlier today, the participants to the “Experience Shri Mataji’s Pure Love” meditation seminar offered in Burlington, started offering, one by one, a flower at Shri Mataji’s photo, during the remembrance moment. Later on, Paula and Carmela went to place those flowers on Lake Ontario’s waters to transmit pure vibrations into Mother Nature. The photos surprise how their heartfelt intention was blessed by Serendipity.
A beautiful ‘symbolical show’ started developing in front of their eyes, ‘performed’ by the blessed flowers and these gracious Canadian Swans – representing Canada’s Subtle Role on Earth: the Hamsa Chakra of Divine Discernment (article compilation); helping with our discerning between false and truth, right and wrong, as well between auspiciousness and ritualism; it also helps us not to fall into any extreme or any wrong influence.
Experience Pure Love with Shri Mataji – A Free Public Event was offered in Burlington this Sunday
Today, on February 23rd, the material passing of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi – the founder of Sahaja Yoga Meditation movement – is observed.
Here, in the Halton region, Shri Mataji’s followers represented by Sahaja Yoga Meditation Network, are offering every year, since 2011, public events that introduce meditation as well snippets from their great yoga teacher’s life to all those seeking their self-realization.
Q&A with Shri Mataji during a Sahaja Yoga Meditation Public Program in London
Question from the Audience: ‘How can you keep your Self-Realization if you are not in touch with the collective?’
Answer from Shri Mataji:
‘You cannot. You have to keep some connection with the collective. It’s like say nowadays it’s autumn you have seen. In autumn what happens? A bark like a cork develops between the leaves and the tree. And such a leaf falls off and dies. You have to be in the collective, you cannot keep your Self-Realization without collectivity. It’s very important to be with the collective. This is one point people fail, because they think they’ll lose their individuality. It’s a wrong idea.
Actually when the leaf dies it has no individuality. On the contrary, when it is on the tree you’ll be surprised, that one leaf cannot tally with another leaf in the whole world. Such an individual thing it is. It is, I would say, unity in diversity, complete unity in diversity.
Because that is the variety is the one that gives beauty to this world. Otherwise if we are all sort of dressed of the same way, walking the same way, it will be such a boring company. 🙂
Is there any question? Such a rapport. It’s beautiful people today. All right.”
Excerpt from Public Program in London , UK (1987-11-16) Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Today, on February 23rd, 2025, we experienced a Sublime Togetherness during the MahaSamadhi public event offered in Burlington by Sahaja Yoga Meditation Network of volunteers
We shared personal stories and experiences with Shri Mataji, we watched video-clips showing the Motherly and Guru aspects of our spiritual teacher, as well enjoyed each other’s loving generosity and personality
Shri Mataji’s presence was felt strongly during the event; we share one synchronicity story
We noticed that there was one rose that had the exact color as the one that Shri Mataji is holding in the image (below) shared during our presentation for the Mahasamadhi event; as well that Shri Mataji’s shawl in the image below had the same color as the frame for the photo we used to honor Shri Mataji today.
We had a powerful meditation with Shri Mataji – in that video Shri Mataji was wearing a white Sari as in the photo above.
Saying Farewell to the MahaSamadhi Day with Shri Mataji’s own Words of Wisdom
“The saints are responsible .. and we should be grateful to them as they died here in this place and they are present in the form of their glory and because of their blessing this has worked out.
In the same way Sahaja Yogis should look at their life, that though their life is reducing but their spiritual life is increasing. The light of spiritual life after our death shines brightly and has huge effects.
Today you are celebrating my birthday, but a lot of work is left.
So according to your wishes let us celebrate many more birthdays to come and be happy and joyful and may this light of spirit turn into a torch which should burn in your hearts and the whole world should know.”

Feeling extremely fortunate to meditate collectively on this special day of MahaSamadhi. Vibrations were so deep and powerful, we didn’t realize how fast the time passed by. We all offered flowers to Shri Mataji out of love and respect and it’s simply amazing to read how beautifully they were received by the swans. Thanks for sharing the story. Enjoyed all the photos, videos and precious excerpts from Shri Mataji.
very nice
To be awakened and enlightened after diving into the ocean of pure knowledge and verifiable truths is like entering a blissful reality… That we are spirit and we can expand our super powers through these ancient and modern teachings by Shri Mataji.
I loved hearing about her life, times with Gandhi, her parents being thrown in jail and standing up for India’s freedom, of Shri Mataji going to medical school so she could explain to humans what she came to this earth to teach them. From a young age she wanted to meet all the seekers of the world…those of us who wanted to know their higher being and connect to it. For me, it was a series of crisis of self. I tried so many things to repair my being and find answers. One of the first things that amazed me was that Shri Mataji would talk for hours to explain everything and there was no script! And what she said made sense to me, and today, a special anniversary of her passing, we celebrated and imbibed that feeling as she taught us who we are from the presentation that was so lovingly compiled.
I felt showered with vibrations, over and over, throughout the meditation and Shri Mataji’s words and the songs. All the droves of people who benefited from her teachings and welcomed her in so many countries worldwide.
The potluck was wonderful and you can say we all felt the depth of our inner being and also the magnitude of her living teachings which radiate from all of us and spread from person to person.
After offering flowers of gratitude we later brought them to Lake Ontario where Mama Carmela pointed out the swans. I made my way through the snow dunes on the beach and placed each flower lovingly into the Lake which is like an ocean. The Swans were so graceful and respectful of these floral offerings. I thanked the lake, the swans, and the all pervading power of the universe and opened my hands to show my gratitude. I only remembered from this article did the symbolism of swans and the divine discretion, and Canada’s role in the bigger picture. Today gave me wings and reaffirmed that on the path towards yoga connection and spiritual expansion, there is room for so many more to feel the bliss of knowing one’s self. I felt so blessed today and I know I was not the only one. It was real. It was heaven on earth. Everyone should come to know this feeling and grow it within themselves to navigate this life full of challenges and blessings.
Yesterday was one of those days when we connected deeply with our Mother, and powerful vibrations flowed through us like a refreshing river breeze. When Mother blew vibrations in the microphone, in one of her interviews, we felt the vibrations in our Sahasrara, in a way that me personally I haven’t felt before.
We experience again the real collective, in Sahasrara, and the real us, as Spirits. Full of joy, full of devotion and humble gratitude to the Shri Adi Shakti, for bringing us together under her protection and guidance. We are lucky, we are blessed, and Mother is giving us everything that it has been promised to help and smooth out our journey back Home, to our Father, in Paradise.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful compilation of Shri Mataji’s talk and all the knowledge ,and experiences of different people with all these pictures and videos especially the swan one.All is amazing .
Imagine. to be able to feel that .. the vibrations. Joy… Spirit is happy. You found your self. You are connected. On the right path.
