~ Late Breaking News ~
Date: Jan 27th 2012
- NEW -

The first stage of the Sahaja Literature section is up & running, with literature created from a study of
Shri Mataji's quotes. Included is a sub-section with suggestions for a Starter Pack that can be prepared
in advance and handed to any new people that may come along

The 'Intermediate' and 'More Advanced' sections are to follow soon. They have now been added.

Just to clarify on the subject of the Integrity of this site, regarding the Purity of Shri Mataji's quotes or extracts.
It will be noticed in the Literature so far created, that each is composed from a mixture of Direct quotes, and
also the 'free style' expression of Shri Mataji's Teachings. in a way that makes for easy reading and
conveying the essence of Sahaja Yoga practices in a way that is as accurate as possible.

I know that many of you value very highly the efforts put into this site to safeguard the integrity
of it's contents. This will not change. When it comes to introducing Sahaja Yoga to newcomers,
we cannot just abandon them, and leave it to them to struggle with the very new ideas and concepts that
are the essence of what we all accept and believe in. We, remember, have had the immense
and immeasurable benefits resulting from having been in the Presence of The Divine Mother.
There has been much confusion in the past, and also much impure knowledge brought into
Sahaja Yoga, by each and almost everyone who has joined our ranks, and which has spread
and adulterated the otherwise pure Knowledga which has been given us by the Divine.

So it is therefore deemed necessary, and indeed essential that we all do what we can
to guide the newcomer along right paths, in attaining the correct techniques and practices
that hopefully are reflected in the literature that is offered in this site.
May All the Deities protect and guide us in our endevour.
Jai Shri Mataji

- PREVIOUSLY -

Work is continuing with the mp3 section, with the number of entries rising from 33
to now 65, now sorted into 12 revised categories.

A few more miracle stories are added.
Please note that the principle of not allowing the Purity of
Shri Mataji's Words to be compromised, still holds for the entire Web Site
where it is clear that it is Mother's Words that are being reported.

The exception to this rule applies in just 2 places... firstly in the Top Left panel of the HomePage,
which includes both the "Commentary Section" as well as the section on "Miracles", & secondly in the
Bottom Right panel which includes the Literature section, that is provided for Sahaja Yoga meetings.

In this Literature section, part is in fact made up of extracts from Shri Mataji's Talks as elsewhere
throughout the site... wherever appropriate & suitable material can be found.
However in the interests of providing a more complete instruction for new people,
a fuller 'free style' type of description is included... but in this case
it is made quite clear where the change in approach is made.

The teaching 'Aids' that have been included, have been tidied up a bit, and further improvements
may well be added later.

Much time is still devoted to collating a fairly extensive collection of Sahaja Material
named as 'Treasures of the Devi', which includes any Sahaj Material that is directly related to
Shri Mataji... such as Videos, Audios, Photos, Sahaj Music, Teaching Aids, Literature etc.
This is collected together onto a hard drive, and at present has reached a total size of 355Gb.

It can quite easily be accessed for viewing either directly on PC, or indirectly via a Media Player,
such as the Western Digital HD Media Player (including the 'Live' model) routed through
a TV or equally via a Projector, such as the Optoma portable model.

Most Holy Divine Mother
May we all the Sahaja Yogis of the world continue to grow, not only in numbers
but also in our own depths... to further establish YOUR VISION for humanity... on this
Your Creation... Your Manifestation... Your Mother Earth.

May we all come together as ONE... and may all negativity be banished for ever.
May YOU, for ever be NITYA NIRMALA PRASANNA

~~~
Progress is continuing, though slowly with the new sections:
mp3 Clips
Teaching/Learning Aids
Some Miracles in Sahaja Yoga
Sahaja Yoga Literature
Treasures of the Devi

~~~
Audioclips added today:
Only 2 things don't want to bend before God... a Bhoot & the Ego, 860707 clip, Vienna Ashram.mp3
Sankoch of Shri Ram in the Right Heart, 820402 Shri Rama's Birthday, Chelsham Rd, UK.mp3
All 'I' business should be given up, & 'We' should come in, 820402 clip, Shri Rama's Birthday, Chelsham Rd, UK.mp3
~~~

Apologies to all those dedicated readers/browsers of this site, some of whom have been calling for
a resumption of the updating activities of this SahajVidya web site.

In the last 2 years, attention has been focussed on working on Audiotape and Videotape preservation,
and also on preparing much of the material that Shri Mataji has brought to this world for our benefit... for
the use of Sahaja Yogis... in the Giving of Realisation to our many and diverse communities.

A start has been made to the collecting together of much of this material under the name...
"Treasures of the Devi" which has so far reached a modest 230Gb on a hard drive. It includes so far...
Mother's Talks; Clips on some important subjects; Meditational Music, all in Audio format...
Public Programs; Pujas & Darshan; Realisation Exercises; some courses, these in Video format...
Charts; Listings; Teaching/Learning Aids; Utilities... in pdf Acrobat & jpg formats...
some Photos; Movies for Exhibitions; and also this web site.

All this is slowly and constantly expanding and growing... and is available free of royalty...
for anyone wanting to promote in a responsible way the Spreading of our Divine Mother's Sahaja Yoga.

If you wish to have a copy... and you are coming to the UK... simply bring with you a hard drive with
sufficient capacity. If you then retain the structure of the files as copied onto your drive, it
will be a very simple matter to update in the future, when more material is added.
~~~

In the meantime, this site is having a small overhaul... and the following points will be receiving attention:

Some of the text is being enlarged to make for easier reading;

Some quite important yet sometimes controversial issues in Sahaja Yoga are being researched, and audio clips found
and reproduced here to try to resolve these matters so that everyone will be aware of, and become familiar
with all of Shri Mataji's Teachings - in it's Pure and Immaculate Form... free of contamination by non-Sahaj
material, resulting from the introduction of 'asahaj knowledge' from
many and varied sources, which can only lead to confusion, and conflicting ideas about Sahaja Yoga.
Some other topics will also be added simply because they are thought to be of possible interest to others.

A new section will also be introduced to recount some of the amazing miraculous experiences
that have been recorded over the years.

Another section on Learning/Teaching Aids is also to be introduced.
~~~

All of this of course takes time... and alongside all this will continue the involvement in the
many 'Giving Realisation' events around the UK.
Slowly and surely... it will all surely be achieved... with... and only by... the Grace and very great Blessings of...
our own Wonderful and Divine and most Gracious Mother.

Jai Shri Mataji

~~~~~~~~~
The files for the 'Intro Talk' and the 'Deep Meditational Music' in the
"Sahaja Yoga Introductory CD" are now much smaller, and are
offered for download as mp3's to your hard drive, instead of as zip files.
As such they can now be played directly from this site if you so wish,
or downloaded to your computer.
•
In addition, you will also find 3 new small recordings of 'Advice' on Meditation
by Shri Mataji, which are available as mp3's for playing direct, or for download.
~~~

Recently a small talk entitled '800101 How to Meditate' has come into the collective attention
and it is considered so important that it is being provided here to listen to, or to download.
It is available here as a zip file containing both the mp3 file and also the accurate revised transcription.
It is suggested that this verified transcript be kept with the mp3, and both are circulated together.
The file is just 3.5 Mb in size, and plays for approximately 7.5 mins.
See the new section 'mp3 Recordings' at the bottom right of the HomePage.

Are the PDF files opening properly inside your browser?? - They should do!
(PDF files are the Topics or subject documents that comprise the bulk of this site).

Do you have trouble with pdf files littering your desktop - refusing to open tidily
inside the browser of your choice? or too many windows opening when browsing this site?
Well... NOW YOU NO LONGER NEED TO SUFFER!
If you use any of these browsers?...
Mozilla - Opera - Safari - Firefox - Netscape
Then read on... we have some good news for you...
•
Some research has recently been done... into finding out why there was this problem in some browsers.
Now the good news is that the solution has been found - with some very simple adjustments,
you can now get your browser operating the way you want.

This works well with:
Internet Explorer 6 - the most popular browser... used to design this site - no problem with this browser.
Netscape Navigator - the second most popular browser.
Mozilla Firefox - the third most popular browser.
Opera - less popular.
Safari - less popular.
Netscape Communicator - this remains the sole browser which fails to work as desired.
If you are using this program, then it is suggested that you change to another browser...
because now all the others can be made to operate correctly.
(The necessary file is called a plugin and is named: nppdf32.dll - it is
installed by Acrobat to the browser's plugin folder).
•
THE SOLUTION
FIRST OF ALL BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR ENTIRE SYSTEM & DATA FILES
no responsibility accepted for any problems... ok?
If you need to... get an expert with computers to make the adjustments for you.
•
The solution is simple... really. Just follow these instructions carefully.
All we are going to do is simply to 1. Close your Browser   2. Open Acrobat   3. Deselect 'Display PDF in browser'
  4. Close and then restart Acrobat and finally   5. Reselect 'Display PDF in browser'.
That's all... your browser will now work perfectly.
So now in more detail...
Step 1. First... close ALL your browsers!
(There is no need to reboot at this stage, but if you do experience difficulties,
you can re-follow these instructions and perform a reboot at this point... and then do not open your browser)
Step 2. Make sure you have only 1 version of Adobe Acrobat on your computer - if you have more, uninstall
all of them in Control Panel. (At this stage it is useful, I have found, to clean the registry, using
Max Registry Cleaner, to remove all the junk that is left over).
Reboot, and now reinstall just 1 of the Acrobat Reader programs... and jump to step '4'.
Step 3. If you have only the 1 version of Acrobat, you can ignore step '2' above. Now open Acrobat Reader...
and go to 'Edit' > 'Preferences' Select 'Internet' and remove the tick from 'Display PDF in browser'
Click on 'OK' and close Acrobat... and reboot.
NEARLY THERE!
Step 4. Open Acrobat once more, and again go to 'Edit' > 'Preferences'
Select 'Internet' and this time add a tick beside 'Display PDF in browser'... and click on 'OK'.
Step 5. Finally, once more, in 'Edit' > 'Preferences', go to 'Startup' and remove the tick
beside 'Display Splash Screen'... then 'OK'.
•
Now when you open your browser, it will work just the way you always wanted.
There remain a few adjustments inside your browser to make sure it fully works the way you want.

ADJUSTING YOUR BROWSER
Whichever browser you choose, you may wish to make some or all of the following tweaks:
• The first time that you use your browser to view the SahajVidya web site, you will find that
you need once more to install the Acrobat Reader Speedup files that you set up before.
•
Also in some browsers, a message pops up that says:
"One or more pdf documents are open inside a web browser. If you exit Acrobat now,
those documents will be closed. Are you sure you want to exit?" Be ready for this.
You will have the choice to... Exit or Cancel. Choose Cancel. (If you delay too long in responding,
the process will expire... and you will have to start all over again from step 1).
•
• You may wish to create a bookmark, or indeed set your Home page to SahajVidya.
(the url for this is: http://www.sahajvidya.org/SahajVidya/0h1o0m8e_721.html)
•
• The web site was designed with a medium sized font or text size. When it is opened in a browser, this
text size displays sometimes as smaller than intended, sometimes larger, depending on
the browser used. In all cases, there is a place where it is possible to set the text viewed, to a larger
or smaller size... to suit individual preferences.
•
• If you decide later on to install a new or different browser, or indeed to re-install your current
browser... then you might possibly find that the pdf files once again fail to open inside the browser.
In this case you will need to 1. close the browser 2. open Acrobat 3. remove 'Display pdf in browser' 4. close
Acrobat & possibly reboot 5. Now open Acrobat & set 'Display pdf in browser' again. In this case you will again
need to be ready for the pop up message... asking to either... Exit or Cancel. Choose 'Cancel'.
