- NEW -
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.
~~~
- PREVIOUSLY -
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.
Note: To 'save as a zip file': an alternative way that achieves the same result is to
Rename the file, simply adding the .zip extension.

A new addition to the site is the "Sahaja Yoga Introductory CD" for SY public meetings
to introduce Sahaja Yoga to Newcomers. It supports the 'Progressing for Newcomers' section
to be found at the bottom right corner of the HomePage. The complete compilation
is downloadable and may be burned to CD using your computer. All labels etc are on the CD.
There is also an A4 Poster design in the Tools section, and should again be saved as a zip file.
Extract this file and edit in Microsoft Word Processor. In Word > Tools > unprotect Document...
enter xxxxxxx as the password to allow you to edit & change details as required.
Print using best quality settings & best Photo quality paper.

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'.
