Resurrection – Poem & Understanding of Easter Meaning

You are Invited to Meditate on Resurrection with A Yogini’s Poem and the Understanding of Easter Meaning through Sahaja Yoga Meditation Teachings

Today on Easter Sunday 2026, we Celebrated Easter with Halton Yogis’ Families with a Spring Energy Cleansing Seminar, a Potluck Easter Lunch and a Profound Meditation.

The two photos shared above are from our today’s Easter Halton Families Seminar focused on coming together to purify our energy systems, achieve peace within and pray for peace in the world. Maybe you’ve noticed the Easter Lily that opened like a white swastika, which is an ancient symbol one can find in the traditional painting of the Easter eggs in Orthodox Christian traditions. For us that have also the yoga teachings, we know about the Root chakra (energy center) and it’s symbolism.

In this article we will share also articles that you can learn from, not only about the relationship between chakras, but in a way about the Evolution theory that is chakra based; also more articles that connect to Easter, Lord’s Prayer in other languages that have a brilliant interpretation, musical and even the wording is enriched in a way. We recommend you to explore them!

Explore some Quotes of Subtle Knowledge from the Teachings of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi – the Founder of Sahaja Yoga Meditation. It’s time to Learn and Meditate!

What is Shri Mataji Saying about Resurrection? Maybe we should pay attention to it and Open more our Horizons..

“He (Jesus Christ) suffered because there was a problem in the human awareness. People were lost in ritualism and in philosophic discussions. So His message was that of resurrection. That is being clearly shown if you see the Sistine Chapel in Vatican you see a huge Christ sitting there and judging people and giving them resurrection. So the time has come for us, all of us, to enter into the kingdom of God. Now the time has come, this is the blossom time that many have to become the fruits.

When we see the chaos and confusion around us we get very depressed and upset about it. And we think there’s going to be a shock we are all going to be destroyed. But you must remember that the creator is all-powerful and He is not going to allow His creation to be destroyed. And His greatest creation and creations are human beings. He is not going to allow them to destroy themselves. It’s already being arranged within us as you can see clearly, you have been told. We have a beautiful machinery built in within ourselves to work out the Kundalini (subtle energy) awakening.

As if you were made into a beautiful computer already programmed in a very efficient manner by the Divine, which commits no mistakes. 

And you are just to be now connected to the mains. Once you are connected to the mains you start working as a very fantastic dynamic compassionate personality. This has happened to so many who are here.

They write to me that they are swimming in the ocean of joy.”

This was an excerpt from a Public Program offered by Shri Mataji in Geneva, Switzerland on August 1, 1988.

Happy Birthday to Gratiela who Celebrated her Birthday this Easter weekend! Born in the Catholic religion – she loves practicing Sahaja Yoga Meditation in Burlington and experiences the Joy and the qualities mentioned by Shri Mataji is her talk.

You can continue Meditating on the Wider Theme of Resurrection with the following Quotes from Shri Mataji‘s Lectures, getting ready for the Poem!

“I was very happy to hear your questions, which gives me a little idea as to what you are seeking. 

At the very outset, one has to understand what are we to seek, and what is our resurrection.

This is the enlightenment, this is the self-realization, but…what is it?

People may talk: ‘This is that, this is that …” Thank God in the modern times, people have logic.

Now, if you see to the history of evolution, you will realize that evolution has taken in the awareness of person, or the seeker. And the higher was the evolution, the lesser was the modulation in the body and the outward side.

So, now, if there has to be the evolution, what it is going to be? In the awareness has to be seen. Because whatever has happened to us, in our own evolution, we have achieved it in our awareness. For example, for us, it is a truth that (here) it’s a small hall. Because we can see with these eyes. In the same way, the color of this curtain is a fact for all of you, it’s a truth. Because you all have eyes.”

“Say, for a dog, to go trough a dirty lane is not difficult, but to a human being it’s very difficult because he’s aware of the filth.

Because in his evolution he has developed a nose which can smell filth. So, to understand it fully, logically, is that something has to happen to your awareness. Now, on this point, there have been lots of confusions.

The confusion comes, because we can think what we like. Rationality is that moves the way we want.

Evolution is not a thing that we can achieve through our rationality.

We did not think of our evolution to be a human being, or a donkey, or, say, a monkey did not think that he has to become a human being. He just became; it hadn’t any concept of what he is going to be. Neither it had any capacity to conceptualize it. But human beings have that capacity. But that capacity could be imaginary, because human beings can go on imagining things.

So, the concept of anything that we have built up, may not be true. So, if we are honest seekers of truth, we have to face the truth as it is. One has to adore it, and accept it, and allow it to permeate. It may not be according to your concept. It may challenge your ego also. What are we going to become logically? That is: some new dimension has to come into our awareness. Many psychologists like Jung who were realized souls have indicated that one will become – again the becoming is the point – collectively conscious.

Means something should happen to our consciousness, in which we become collectively conscious.”

A detailed explanation of the Self-Realization one can find in this other article.

The excerpts provided above are from a Public Program offered on May 3, 1982 in Paris, France.

Now, it’s time to enjoy a poem that helps our attention rise high and absorb the simple, pure, innocent beauty of the qualities reflected in the life and teachings of Lord Jesus Christ. I received this poem today on the Easter Sunday 2026 from Aparna.

This article reminded me of the beautiful sketches of Kahlil Gibran that I had the privilege of admiring in Mexico City during an amazing UNESCO exhibition at the Art Museum dedicated to the Life of this amazing Realized soul.

Why Not sharing other Beautiful representations of Lord Jesus “collected” during my visit to Mexico where I discovered so much creativity Everywhere

Enjoy the Poem “Resurrect” – An Easter Gift created by Aparna Gangopadhyay (sahaja yogini) who allowed me to share it with You all

Resurrect—

that is what He taught,

not from the grave of the body,

but from the ashes of the heart.

The step before the rising

is softer, quieter—

to forgive…

wholeheartedly.

To release the knots unseen,

to unchain the silent wounds,

for when you do not forgive,

it is you who remains bound—

not the one who walked away.

Pain lingers only where

forgiveness has not yet entered.

So let it go—

like dusk dissolving into night,

like a tear that finally understands

it need not fall again.

Do not let shadows of thought

stand like walls before your light.

You are meant for higher skies,

for a throne within, untouched,

eternal.

Rise above the noise,

above the memory of hurt,

above the weight of “why.”

Resurrect—

not once,

but every moment

you choose love over resentment,

silence over reaction,

truth over illusion.

Resurrect—

for that is your nature,

your birthright,

your becoming.

One cannot say much more after this Poem, yet Images can try: such as this photo expressing our Aim of reaching to the Angels and Skies above – at least that was the inspiration in Romania.

Let’s conclude with a few more Words of Wisdom from Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi – Connecting us to Easter’s Subtle Significance and the Theme of Resurrection.

“Why was it necessary for Christ to come when Moses has told all these things? Why did He come?

He came to give His message of resurrection. He came for you to know that you have to become the spirit. You are to be born of your spirit. That was it. Now how many of these people who are baptising are ‘born again’? This is the point. Today, you are accepting Catholicism, but your children won’t. In London, people are selling their Churches. I mean, what a shame! I mean, I feel hurt about it because this is Christ’s work and because you have not put forward the real thing, it is going to fade out, everywhere. Everywhere it is going to fade out. I live just in front of a cathedral in London. And they are going to start (there) a discotheque. Really it is a fact. I mean imagine what a thing it is! Because they want to attract the young people.

I have so many young people as my disciples in Europe and in India. I do not have to keep them ‘attracted’, because they are attracted because of the Truth that they are the Spirit. Give them the truth! It’s the living God you have to give them. Do not talk, give sermons, this that, what’s the use? Tell me what’s the use?!

Unless and until you have the power, unless and until you become real Christian, it is no meaning. Then what happens? Then, you start feeling others. You know what’s the matter with the person. You can feel. The energy flows through. Do you know how far you have come spiritually? After Realization, you know where you are.

It’s a big tree of life. Christ was the fruit of that tree. You must know others also. He said that those who are not against me are with me. Who are those? Who are those about whom he said? He said I will appear before you like tongues of flames.

You really see your chakras like tongues of flames.”

This was an excerpt from a Lecture offered by Shri Mataji on September 29, 1980 in Zurich, Switzerland.

The photo below is showing the chakra energies like tongues of flames around Shri Mataji and Sahaja Yogis that received her blessings in Bucharest, Romania in the ’90s. I was there!

The last but not the least, on Easter Sunday we should Remember What He Said:

“This is what Christ has said that, ‘Forgive’ and the greatest thing He did on the cross was to say that, ‘Forgive.’

Because these people really committed the real crime of crucifying the Son of God. But still He said, ‘Forgive for they do not know what they are doing’. They do not know what they are doing, that He was the Son of God. It was impossible for people to believe: Son of God, imagine! Is He Son of God? What makes Him that? His resurrection proved it. Till then nobody believed Him. His disciples never believed Him. He looked like a very ordinary person, carpenter’s son, having hardly two robes to wear, living in a very poor condition. What made Him feel that He was the Son of God? His own knowledge about Himself.”

Can we Imagine those times, those conditions, that Situation? Yet, we receive Profound Answers from Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi – through her own spiritual nature and connection, She understood Him.

We must Understand that Easter Celebration is not about only about the Past and not only about Lord Jesus Christ. It is a Message and Truth that is for Now & You & me.

“He was son of God and He came on this Earth with a very great message that You are to be Resurrected.

It is not only that you have to maintain yourself, and you don’t eat this and don’t do that and all those Ten Commandments, but He came to give us a message of our rebirth.

We are to be born again; not by any just a ritual or some sort of a ceremony we go through, but there has to be something living that has to take place.

He has always talked about [the] living God. So something living must happen and what happens when it is something living? When it is something living we start finding the transformation taking place. For example: you sow a seed and the living process starts; the tree starts transforming into the root and a shoot; and then the shoot start transforming itself into leaves and then into fruits.

It’s not static: not that we take one piece from here and keep it there and it is transformed, but there is something that happens within, something very spontaneous which brings forth this transformation and you see it with your own eyes.

And this transformation has to take place within you.

The last two quotes are from a Public Program offered by Shri Mataji in Newbury, UK on October 31, 1980.

    Lovely time spent together in meditation and collectivity. It was much needed in these times of wars and instability in the world.

  4. Kriti

    I needed to read this today, especially with a real life situation that I faced recently.

    The idea that resurrection is about rising above our own hurt, forgiving, and becoming lighter from within really stayed with me.
    The poem was so simple yet so deep, especially the thought that we resurrect every time we choose love over resentment. That felt very real.
    Grateful for these words and pearls of wisdom from Shri Mataji and my Sahaja Yoga Family.

    Thank you Ioana!
