World Women’s Conference Day - Cabella July 2007

The Sahaja Yoga festival week between guru puja and Krishna puja 2007 opened on Monday july 30th with the gathering of the yoginis for the world’s women conference day.

Throughout the day, experiences could be exchanged on various topics, in a simple, natural and jolly mood. Prior to any contributions, Mother’s talk on the occasion of woman’s day in China read to the audience. Then, some ladies took in turn to address, first on the principle of womanhood as a wife and a mother, then followed by the need of solidarity and sisterhood, and finally on the impact of the yoginis in the professional field. More than theoretical, these contributions included various practical experiences with and without the physical presence of Shri Mataji.

Later on in the morning, Gisela from Austria gave a substantial description of the running of the “destitute women’s house” in Delhi she is in charge of. She emphasized on the physical and financial help she needs from the West and it appeared to all of us that we cannot be oblivious of the fact that such an enormous and difficult task cannot be left to the responsibility of a sole yogini. This is why Anand (Shri Mataji’s grandson) was the only male figure who intervened very determined and strongly positive on this very subject right at the beginning of the conference day before any other subject could be developed. Gisela also melted our hearts by sharing with us some experiences showing how little children respond so well to her love. For those who wish to spend some time to help her in Delhi or support the centre with donations.

In the afternoon, other ladies delighted us in describing their Sahaj work in schools where children get self-realisation, in countries such as Italy, Colombia and Holland. It was very inspiring and encouraging for all of us whose countries are not yet ripe for that. But no doubt time will come for all of us, now that the collective attention has been triggered by this pioneering work.

Then as mothers, we could not miss the subject of Sahaj education for our children. Again some experiences were shared on the necessity to create opportunities for our youngsters to get together as well as parents to support each other for this collective responsibility. Along with this, some elder yuva shakti boys and girls were invited to present the ladies the results of their Sahaj education.

The exchange fell then on the role of elderly women in sahaja Yoga. It was strongly and positively reminded that ladies of “a certain age” should not be left aside and should stand up because they still can offer a lot in terms of Sahaj action and support to the younger generations since they have gone through all the various stages of life and are now likely to provide us with their skills and wisdom. There is space for everyone in our big family from chidren to grandparents.

The conference ended up with an experience from America showing the impact of yogis on the politics of the country, relating the power of our attention and our silent work.

The credit of this beautiful day goes to Purna Vertunni and Christina Bruce who took the initiative to organize this event. In a very spontaneous and affectionate way, yet softly disciplined, she managed to protect the collective attention from external disturbances so as to create a very deep, peaceful and joyful atmosphere between hundreds of ladies bound together in Mother’s web of love.

This first Sahaj festival 2007 held in Cabella definitely seals the first stone of the new “world foundation” and is a promise of many more similar celebrations to come in the future. Each day of the week brought its amount of spiritual nourishment through the various proposed topics; and we can but support the Italian collectivity to facilitate this big task of meeting and sharing experiences coming from all over the world.

Congo attrocities



Dear Sisters,

The time has come for us to use our attention and vibrational power on the problems of the world.

It's hard and painful to read this article about the women of Congo. That a brother posted it to me, make's you feel weak and powerless, but it's there that our compassion and faith in God in Our Divine Mother has to work .

During the period of Navaratri, let us ask for the Goddess Durga's intervention.

Let us also perform a special Havan on the Sunday the 27 of October and burn all the negativity against women and children in Congo reading Srhi Mahakali's names.

This is just a start I'll count on you to make suggestions, maybe we could invite big petrol companies which do bussiness with Congo to put pressure on the local government to act.

I have a feeling that we should be more present not only on the subtle level but also socialy.

With Love Purna
