Shri
Mataji at Cairns, Great Barrier Reef,
Australia.
Crown of
Thorns starfish
When
Shri Mataji came up to Cairns to stay with us for a public
programme, She was supposed to leave on the second day in
the morning. However, She decided to stay and get a later
flight and go out to the Great Barrier Reef. We got a
jet-boat out to Green Island, a little island just off the
coast, then She went on one of these semi-submersibles and
put Her attention on the reef. I had been explaining to Her
how the crown of thorns starfish was destroying the reef.
It was in disproportionate numbers and it was eating the
reef away. She said at that point She would put Her
attention on it and they would just disappear.
During Shri Mataji’s visit, She met the mayor of the
city, who told Her about an alarming problem that had the
whole country concerned and which had worsened over the
previous ten years. Due to the delicate nature of the
ecosystem, the authorities had no biological or chemical
solution to control the starfish, short of physically
removing them. So the enormous reef was gradually being
destroyed. Within our lifetime, little would be left. These
starfish are very large and have a body about the size of a
dinner plate. They have ten ‘arms’ that come
out from the body and are all covered in thorns, which is
why they are called the crown of thorns starfish. They live
on live coral and what had happened over about twenty years
was their numbers became plague proportions and they moved
like a swarm over coral and they ate all the living coral
polyps in their path and left the dead bones of the coral
there. The scientists were worried that the Great Barrier
Reef would die.
Shri Mataji told the mayor that once your powers are
awakened through Self Realization you can have an influence
on your environment. The mayor was a little sceptical. A
day or two later news broke in Australia that something
incredible was happening in Queensland. Without warning or
explanation, tens of thousands of the crown of thorn
starfish had been found dead, floating on the surface of
the water above the reef. Shri Mataji just said we should
tell the mayor to have more faith in his powers.
After Shri Mataji left, there was an article in the paper
saying they just didn’t know where these starfish had
gone to, but they had just disappeared.

Birds
One
night in the early 80’s some of us stayed at Brompton
Square after working there late, with Mother. I had slept a
night in Mother’s flat at Ashley Gardens and on both
occasions noticed the same thing. Often if one wakes early
in London in the summer, before the traffic noise drowns
out everything else, one can hear the birds singing. But in
all my years in London — over ten in all — I
only heard the birds singing all through the night in
London on two occasions, both when I was staying in a house
where Mother was at the time. I asked Her about it and She
said:
“Yes, they feel the vibrations.” Mother has
often told us to meditate in the early morning, just before
the sun gets up, because the vibrations are very strong
then. This is the moment when birds generally start to
sing. The birds felt Mother’s vibrations all through
the night, however, and started to sing as they would have
normally done at dawn.

Cane toads
This
is a story where there was a close coincidence timewise
between something the Sahaja Yogis did, on Shri
Mataji’s instructions, and a beneficial occurrence in
the world of nature. As mentioned before, anything that
touches Shri Matjaji radiates purifying vibrations: in this
case water. About the cane toads, Shri Mataji said the
Sahaja Yogis were to put vibrated water in all the
waterways, rivers, lakes, streams of Queensland. A few
months later, we read in the paper that the cane toads were
developing a viral cancer that had just suddenly appeared
from nowhere and they were dying in large numbers. They
didn’t completely die out but there were far fewer of
them.

The family
dog attracted by vibrations
I
live in Greenford, Middlesex. This is quite a large suburb
of London and there are only two of us in the district who
are involved with Sahaja Yoga.
One early morning, a lady was taking her dog for a walk in
the park there. She did this most mornings, but on that
morning it suddenly went mad and ran off for no good
reason. She was completely frantic and tried to chase it
everywhere in the park, but eventually it just disappeared
and she had to go home without it.
Meanwhile, in another part of Greenford, I woke up and
began getting ready to go to work. I am an optometrist. At
one point I noticed a strange dog in the garden, just
sitting there with a ball in its mouth. It looked rather
nervous. I left it there and thought I would go out later,
when I was properly dressed, and shoo it off if it
hadn’t gone by then.
Two hours later it was still there, although by now it
seemed more at ease. I was quite concerned because I had
never seen a dog like that round us, certainly not in our
front garden, and I was going to have to leave for work any
minute. I went outside and looked at the phone number on
the dog’s name tag on its collar, and decided to
phone up the owners and tell them I had their dog. It was
the least I could do.
I phoned the number and a man answered. The voice seemed
vaguely familiar.
“Excuse me, have you lost a dog? We have one in our
garden with your phone number on its collar,” I said.
“Oh yes, Mitesh, I’ll come and get it now.
It’s my mother’s dog and she is so
worried.” I was stunned, because I thought I was
phoning a stranger. He had rung off rather quickly. I felt
there was something really weird going on, because how did
he know my name, and seem to know me? Soon a car drew up
and it was Steve, the only other Sahaja Yogi in Greenford.
Steve’s mother is not involved with Sahaja Yoga, but
Steve lives in the house with her. The dog must have felt
the vibrations coming from our house, and been attracted to
them. Otherwise why did it choose our garden of the
thousands? It did not know me and had never been to our
house.
Our house is fairly difficult to find, even for a human who
knows more or less where it is. The front door is down an
alley and has a gate to get in to the garden.

Cut
flowers
In
May 1987 Shri Mataji visited Australia. For the Sahaja
Yogis, the height of her visit was a weekend programme in
the Snowy Mountains, in the town of Thredbo. Everyone had
gone to a great deal of trouble to have a flower to give to
Shri Mataji when She arrived on Saturday night. This was
not easily done, as florists are few and far between in the
Snowy Mountains, but we'd all managed somehow. We all had
our flowers ready, but Mother made Her way straight to Her
room without taking them. When Shri Mataji came from Her
room, She went directly to the meeting hall and spoke to us
for quite some time, after which we had a musical program,
after which Mother spoke to us again. By this time, most of
us had been holding our flowers for three or four hours and
were giving up hope.
Just as Shri Mother was leaving, She very sweetly said:
“I see that you have some flowers for me. Would you
like to give them to me now?" So, torn between the horror
of offering these dead flowers and the longing to give
something to Mother, no matter what, we gratefully and
humbly gave the dead blooms to Shri Mataji. They were just
hanging down and completely finished. They were completely
dead, not just slightly dead, but utterly dead. Shri Mataji
went back to Her room. After a little while, She asked for
the box of flowers to be brought in.
“Bring them into the bathroom,” She said.
“We're going to have a miracle. You'll see, it will
be a miracle. Fill the bath with very warm water. Fill it
just as if I were going to have a bath.”
As the water was running, Mother was putting Her hand into
the bath, vibrating the whole thing.
“Now put all the flowers into the bath,” She
said. “Make sure all the stems are down in the
water.” When all the flowers were in the bath, Mother
said: “See, they're already looking better.”
And they were. “You wait,” She continued,
“and see in the morning. We’re going to have a
miracle. We'll use these flowers for the puja.” Next
morning all the flowers were fresh and blooming.
A husband’s love
I am a
flight attendant, and was already working on the aircraft,
preparing to leave on a seven day trip when my husband came
to the plane to present me with my favourite flower, a
beautiful peony. He had driven over an hour to surprise me.
The crew noticed the sweet gesture, but by the end of the
first flight to Tokyo, without water and with the dryness
of the cabin, the peony was completely wilted. Once in the
hotel room, I placed it in vibrated water and kept it next
to the picture or Shri Mataji by the bed. I honestly felt
the flower was a lost cause, but was too tired to be overly
concerned.
The next morning, however, as I opened my eyes, I couldn't
believe it. Although I had seen miracles of Sahasrara Day
flowers at Thredbo in Australia when Shri Mataji vibrated
extremely wilted and dying ones so they became beautiful
enough for puja, here was my own personal demonstration. It
was absolutely beautiful and its fragrance filled the room.
When it came time to leave Japan for Manila, I carefully
tied the cellophane and ribbon back on and reported for my
flight. The crew actually came rushing up to comment that
it couldn't be the same flower. They were amazed and wanted
to know more. This went on for days, in and out of water,
flying to and from Manila twice, the same flower, each day
at report time, still full fragrant and beautiful and the
crew more and more interested in Shri Mataji and Sahaja
Yoga. Even I was amazed it could last so long.

A small flock
of seagulls
After
a public programmeme in Brighton, Sahaja Yogis gathered
outside the venue to see Mother off in Her car. I had not
managed to present Mother with the flowers I had brought.
Mother had just finished speaking with some yogis and was
just about to drive off, when one of the yogis called out
to Mother and Her car door opened enabling my flowers to be
presented.
As Mother’s car pulled away everyone’s
attention was drawn above the car to a small flock of
seagulls. There were about seven gulls flying clockwise and
forming a perfect circle and their white feathers seemed to
catch the streetlights giving them a dove-like appearance.
They followed the car along the road and even kept
formation as the car turned the corner.

Shri
Mataji also said that when She first married, they went to
her husband’s family palace. The family owned some
elephants and, as this was in India, that was not unusual
at the time. What was unusual was that when they saw Shri
Mataji, they all knelt down in obeisance to Her.

Dr.
Mylany’s research
After
getting my Self Realisation in 1982, I met Shri Mataji
personally and was astounded at her knowledge on every
subject. She did not complicate anything but told me that
the all-pervading power has created everything, that it
nourishes everything, generates everything, controls
everything efficiently. It organizes, it thinks and above
all it loves.
She taught me how to use vibrations. I tried to establish
divine vibrations, which is the all-pervading power,
visible through an experiment. At this time I was working
in an International Plant Breeding Company. I had the
possibility to experiment with a lot of things, also with
vibrated water. I tried a small experiment with vibrated
water on tomato plants. It was surprising to find out that
the tomatoes watered with vibrated water were much bigger,
a better colour and even the taste was excellent compared
to the ones watered with normal water. The results of this
experiment developed my curiosity. It is remarkable to note
that in her compassion, Shri Mataji has given vibrated
tomato seeds to many people free. They have all been
planted.
The next time I expanded my experiment to an aeroponic
system. In this system one doesn’t use soil - only
water with different nutrients added. The result of this
experiment showed the same pattern of growth which
persuaded me to continue my great interest in vibrated
water experiments.
After receiving permission from Shri Mataji, I decided to
make a field experiment using maize and sunflowers. I sowed
An area with 6 repeats of maize and 6 of sunflowers and did
the same for the non-vibrated block. Each area was
approximately 2 sq. meters. I sowed the field on 27th May,
which was much later that the farmers in this area. I
didn’t have a lot of time to take care to irrigate
daily so I made up an automatic irrigation system. This had
several advantages in that it was independent from me, if
the field was watered by someone they could give more water
to vibrated crops. So as it was run by computer the crops
received water at exactly the same intervals. The results
of this experiment were that the vibrated field produced
much greener plants and were about 1 ft. higher. The
average weight of the plants were 25% heavier. With the
sunflowers we measured the diameter of the flower to be 2
inches more than the non-vibrated. The vibrated plants are
shown in the left hand photos.
It is again to be mentioned that Shri Mataji has
experimented with sunflowers in her farmhouse research work
in Pune and produced sunflowers tremendously big, more than
12 inches in diameter, very heavy and gave on the average
250 mm. of oil.
This was reported in the newspaper.
