H H Shri Mataji was born at the geographical center of India, in a hill station known as Chhindwara M.P. exactly at noon on the 21st of March, 1923, the day of the spring equinox when day and night are equal. The holy Birthplace at Chhindwara (Shrine) had been in possession of non-yogis since Shri Mataji left Chhindwara to live in Nagpur. The House where Shri Mataji was born was acquired from the last occupant, Mr. Jamte by the H H Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Sahaja Yoga Trust on 14th July 2005. H H Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Sahaja Yoga Trust  was formed on April 7, 2005. It's a NGO and it's main object is to promote the process of spiritual evolution through SahajaYoga by raising Kundalini and giving Self Realisation.

On the 5th of May 1970, in fact, Shri Mataji introduced the method of Sahaja Yoga, by which realization is achieved effortlessly and without any penances or fasting, let alone living death from the part of the seeker.

Sahaja Yoga is a special meditation technique based on Self Realization (awakening of the Kundalini energy). This can take place within every individual.

What Does Sahaja Yoga mean?

“Sahaja” means born with you and “yoga” means union with the All pervading divine power. “Sahaja” also means spontaneous. The divine power within us, called the “Kundalini” is easily awakened with Sahaja Yoga and the individual can feel the divine vibrations in his hands. It is possible to attain inner balance and to solve both individual and collective problems through meditation.

The individual experiences an inner transformation during this process and becomes a more integrated and balanced person. The person can feel the all pervading divine power in the form of a cool breeze, as foreseen by all the religions and scriptures of the world.

This transformation is currently taking place all over the world and has been experienced and proven by thousands of people in more than 100 countries. The experience is free of cost because it is not possible to pay for divine love. We invite you to try this yourself.

Sahaja Yoga has been gifted to humanity by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi at a time when our world most needs peace and balance. Every individual has the chance to feel the peace and joy dormant in his roots.

How is Sahaja Yoga unique from other forms of yoga?

Sahaja Yoga techniques are absolutely unique in that they allow you to break through to the crown or seventh chakra, something that only a very few spiritual masters had previously been able to achieve across the centuries to a few chosen disciples. However, the fact that Sahaja Yoga can achieve this phenomenon en masse and simultaneously for a large group of people makes it a profound discovery compared to all other forms of Kundalini Yoga or meditation.

Sahaja Yoga techniques raise the Kundalini energy through the Sushumna Nadi (the central nervous system), an accomplishment that’s unique to Sahaja Yoga, while some other techniques raise it either through the left or right channels or a combination. The central channel is the path of our spiritual ascent and hence this is vital.

Sahaja Yoga is run entirely by a volunteer not-for-profit organization where practitioners offer the techniques and teachings completely free of charge without any kind of commercial interest involved at any time during the practice.

The mission and philosophy of Sahaja Yoga, as stated by Shri Mataji, the Founder, is simple – peace in the world is only possible if every human being can become peaceful from within. And Sahaja Yoga is designed to be given easily to as many people as possible so that the world can ultimately be a peaceful, beautiful and completely natural place to live.
