\"Shri<\/a>On\u00a0the evening of 12 December\u00a01981 there was\u00a0a meditation meeting held by Sahaja Yogis in Shri Mataji’s presence in England. Shri Mataji asked one Yogi of Polish origin to\u00a0take an important role in the meditation. And She said to her, “Now you have to pray for Poland from your whole heart because there is a great danger coming. Pray that the bloodshed can be avoided.”<\/p>\n

So this Yogi prayed from her heart during the whole meditation. And next day it was announced that\u00a0on the\u00a0same night, 12-13\u00a0December, martial law was proclaimed in Poland. There was no war because nobody was fighting, but some people were put\u00a0in\u00a0gaol and some citizens’ rights were suspended. In Warsaw and other big cities there were tanks and the Polish army roamed the streets. There was a small fight in one of\u00a0the coalmines, and\u00a0ten workers were shot dead by the police.<\/p>\n

The Polish Yogi was disappointed. She thought that her prayer and Shri Mataji’s efforts failed. But she didn’t know that all this was really a blessing. If\u00a0on that night Shri Mataji\u00a0hadn’t worked for Poland and\u00a0hadn’t saved our country, we would\u00a0have been\u00a0in severe trouble because there were huge armies from all the communist countries waiting all around the Polish borders, ready to enter and massacre everyone. Even some of the troops inside Poland were from outside countries. Everything depended on this one night: only hours separated Poland from disaster.<\/p>\n

I was in Poland at that time and I was really surprised by the mildness of the event. Of course, people were not happy, and many\u00a0anti-communist people\u00a0were held in gaol, but life was almost quiet and normal. In a short time the tanks disappeared from the streets and\u00a0telephones started working, and although many telephone lines were\u00a0tapped, it didn’t do much harm to the average citizen. There was\u00a0little bloodshed, and no major problems.<\/p>\n

The Polish Yogi told me\u00a0her story\u00a0recently when I brought her a Polish newspaper with the\u00a0whole story of what had occurred that night.\u00a0She was surprised, as she had\u00a0not known before the\u00a0full significance of the events of that night.<\/p>\n
