On World Yoga Day we speak with Sh. Pradeep Chauhan, Vice-Chairman, The Life Eternal Trust Delhi. Chauhan explains to us the aspects of yoga that are unknown to many, namely through Kundalini awakening. He adds that Sahaj Yoga is the greatest gift to mankind and many people around the world have benefited from it. Fragments from an interview.
- Mr Pradeep Chauhan, you have been practicing Sahaj Yoga for many years. How do you view your transformation?
Sahaj Yoga is nothing but the awakening of Kundalini, the storehouse of strength and a primeval mother. As a primal mother she gives you self-realization, she feeds you and you get the state of thoughtless consciousness. Sahaj Yoga is the greatest gift of Her Holiness Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi to humanity. Personally, I have seen a complete transformation in myself and daily we observe how people from all walks of life benefit from Sahaj Yoga. - How can one get self-realization? What is the process?
Sahaj Yoga is a universal religion. We have Kundalini that is ours and personal and she is our primeval mother or we can say mother of all time. She knows everything about us. To awaken we don’t need to do anything, we just need to ask the God we worship (from any religion or any country) to give us self-realization and we’ll get it instantly. After that you are in the state of Nirvichar Samadhi or thoughtless consciousness. Once we are in the state of thoughtless consciousness, we are connected with all the pervasive power of god. Then he takes over and that is the beginning of spirituality. - In the first question you replied that this is the gift of Her Holiness Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi. She was an Indian and follower of the Hindu religion. Can a Muslim, Jew or Christian follow it without any hesitation?
Look, like I said, this is a universal religion. We have our own Kundalini and this Kundalini goes through our 7 chakras. These chakras evolved during different stages of human evolution and represent different gods. Universally man is one with one Kundalini and seven Chakras. Bifurcation of religion took place at different stages of human life and we never consolidated our religious knowledge to understand that every region is the same. But the time has come when we need to move on with this and use it to our advantage and the benefit of the whole world. - How can the world benefit from Sahaj Yoga?
Sahaj Yoga gives you peace, automatically forces you to love another. If you are peaceful and want to love another human being, where is the fight? Today we fight for our territorial rights, airspace, waterways and disruption of other lives is the main goal. All over the world, security forces fund various people to cause disruptions. But they gain nothing from it. Sahaj Yoga is the only solution for world peace, inner peace and emancipation of man. - I have read that it also cures mental and physical illnesses. Can you work that out?
Once Kundalini is awakened, the first and most important thing is that we become one with divine and divine takes over. The immediate impact is that the mind becomes peaceful and the human being comes into balance. Your nervous system responds positively to this awakening. With this rest you can sleep better, think better and behave positively. All three are important components of human life and they affect your home, society, country and world. Inner peace is an important condition for peace in the world. - You said this is a universal religion. Is this only applied in India or worldwide?
Sahaj Yoga is practiced all over the world. More than 100 countries follow Sahaj Yoga and we have lakhs of Sahaj Yogis. In India alone we have 1200 Sahaj Yoga centers and almost five lakh people follow it. They are spreading this message of love and peace all over the world. This year marks the 100th birthday celebration of Her Holiness Mataji Nirmala Devi and the celebrations have already started. It’s called Shri Adi Shakti Janam Shataabdi Mahotsav Varsh. During this we will tell people about the awakening of Kundalini and all over the world we will go to the public to tell them about this hidden power within us. And on March 19, 2023, we will do a big public program in Delhi with thousands of people and we are hopeful that millions will get their self-realization. Today is an important day when India celebrates Yoga Day. We take this opportunity to inform people about this wonderful gift of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi to humanity. - Is this free or do you have to pay?
This is an immediate process and happens instantly, provided you have a pure desire. Practicing Sahaj Yoga and awakening Kundalini is completely free and easy. Sahaj Yoga tells you the importance of collectivity and one day you realize you have a much bigger world where there is no Indo-Pak, Indo-China or US-Russia tension. Sahaj yogis from all countries meet with love and stay together for days. They meditate to achieve one common goal.
