The prophets foretold of a time in the new millennium when someone of unique spiri-tual magnitude would come

amongst us, to heal, and make us whole again. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi came into the world at Chhindwara, a town in the centre of India.

� ose who have sought spiritual enlight-enment wish to humbly acknowledge that since 1970 Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, as spiritual revolutionary, has trav-elled the world, and has liberated human-ity by awakening the spirit within, off er-ing spiritual awakening through Sahaja Yoga to all who seek it, restoring spiritual balance and social harmony throughout the world.

� e journey has been long, but these have truly been … the footsteps of God.

We recognise and thank Shri Mata-ji for the love she gives. We recogn-

ise and acknowledge Shri Mataji for her unmatched spiritual powers, for her

wisdom, for her limitless compassion.

In the history of spirituality no other person has had such a profound im-

pact upon the world as the greatest living saint of our times: Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.

� roughout the world diff erent governments, re-

ligious fi gures and interna-tional bodies have recognised the incred-ible contribution Shri Mataji has made to the transformation of mankind. In recognition of her selfl ess eff orts towards social improvement and world peace, she has been nominated twice for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Shri Mataji’s Vision‘Sahaja Yoga is the spontaneous union of the individual consciousness with the all-pervading power, through the awakening of the residual power of the Kundalini, which lies dormant within all human be-ings. � e inner universal religion of di-vine love is within, which when enlight-ened produces a truly religious, moral, peaceful, compassionate, and powerful enlightened personality. � is is Sahaja Yoga, communion with the divine, which is the birthright of all human beings. � is is Sahaja Yoga, the union between you and God Almighty.’

Shri Mataji’s Mission‘� e only way forward for humanity is to get Self Realisation, there is no other way. It cannot be worked out at the mental level, but on the spiritual level through the heart, not the head. Sahaja Yoga is the culmination and the integration of all the scriptures, of all the deities. Now all human beings en masse can receive their Self Realisation through this living pro-cess. Sahaja Yoga is for the emancipation of all humanity.’

Call to ActionOn the occasion of Shri Mataji’s 85th birthday, her selfl ess gift to the world of Self Realisation and Sahaja Yoga is rec-ognised as an historical milestone made possible through her advent, bestowing Kundalini awakening as the entry into the inner world.

Shri Mataji came in peace for all man-kind, for the good of our planet, for the advancement of humanity and, ulti-mately, for the glory of God Almighty: all mankind is in her debt. In the history of spirituality no other person has had such a profound impact upon the world as the greatest living saint of our times. � e journey has been long, but these have truly been … the footsteps of God.

With love and devotion from all your children, on this auspicious occasion of your 85th Birthday.
