shri mataji - The Advent of Sahaja Yoga
On the 5th May 1970, iShri Mataji initiated and made available for all the method which permits us to have Self-Realisation en masse. She started to spread this experience publicly with a series of meetings. At that time her husband was appointed Secretary-General of the United Nations Maritime Organisation, a post to which he was re-elected for 17 consecutive years. Seventeen countries conferred on him their highest distinctions and he was knighted by the Queen of England. The central office of the Maritime Organisation was in London, and it was there that Shri Mataji started to develop Sahaja Yoga. The experience of Self-Realisation, which Shri Mataji has the power to give, has given hope to millions of people throughout the world.
 
Today, Shri Mataji has four grandchildren and, in Her everyday life, Her qualities have a great attraction on her whole entourage. She travels the world unceasingly with the sole objective of generously giving the unique experience of Self-Realisation, with many public programmes, seminars and conferences. And so it is that in more than 90 countries now Shri Mataji continues to allow an ever-growing number of seekers to become open to this new state of consciousness and to have access to their internal Divinity by a natural and spontaneous process, thus transforming all the aspects of their being into a bouquet of blessings.
