India Republic Day & Australia Day

Music Program at Shri Mataji’s Burwood House in Sydney.

Jan 26

Many of us did not expect to see Shri Mataji back in Australia, so how overwhelmed we were to have not only been allowed to sing for Her, but to have seen Her looking so extremely alert, powerful and almighty!…

A little while after Shri Mataji arrived in Australia, we were blessed with the opportunity to offer some bhajans to Her at Her house in Burwood, Sydney. Sir CP and Sadana Didi were also present. Many of us did not expect to see Shri Mataji back in Australia, so how overwhelmed we were to have not only been allowed to sing for Her, but to have seen Her looking so extremely alert, powerful and almighty!

We sang the Indian and Australian National Anthems to celebrate Australia Day and Indian Independence Day. We thought that would probably be quite enough, but when Sir CP asked if Shri Mataji would like to hear some more, She said She would.

We sang two other bhajans and a traditional Australian song about Shri Ganesha’s swayambu – Uluru (Ayers Rock). Sir CP asked Shri Mataji if that were enough but She said She would like to hear some more.

We sang Noida’s rustic Jago Savera as well as a more devotional bhajan. When we had been singing for – what must have been – an hour, and our voices had begun to disappear, Shri Mataji decided that it was enough.

Sir CP spoke to us, thanking the builders for miraculously renovating Burwood ashram and the Doctors for tirelessly taking care of Shri Mataji. Sir CP said that this was Heaven on Earth and laughingly said that if He and Shri Mataji return to Australia it would be the “fault” of the Sahaja Yogis.

When Sir CP had finished speaking, Shri Mataji asked for one more bhajan. After that, we all meandered blissfully into the backyard to gaze at each other in complete disbelief at how fortunate we are to be seeing Shri Mataji in such good health in this land which is so far away from the rest of the world, and such a long way for Our Mother to come! Words are never enough…

Jai Shri Mataji
