Late Shri P.K. Salve Academy Of Music And Fine Arts, Nagpur
A Life Dedicated to Humanity
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi quietly transformed lives. For more than forty years she travelled internationally, offering free public lectures and the experience of self-realization to all, regardless of race, religion or circumstances. She enabled people to pass this valuable experience on to others, as well as the technique necessary to sustain it, known as Sahaja Yoga meditation.
Shri Mataji maintained that there is an innate spiritual potential within every human being, and it can be spontaneously awakened. She emphasized that this awakening, described as self-realization, cannot be purchased. Money has never been charged, nor will it be, for the experience of self-realization or for the teaching of Sahaja Yoga meditation.
