New Testament: Gospel of JohnChapter 3, verse 1-8:Jesus speaks of realisation, of being born again:Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicode'mus, a ruler of the Jews.This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you area teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do, unlessGod is with him."Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born anew, hecannot see the kingdom of God."Nicode'mus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he entera second time into his mother's womb and be born?"Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and theSpirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit isspirit.Do not marvel that I said to you, You must be born anew.'The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but you do notknow whence it comes or whither it goes; so it is with every one who is born ofthe Spirit."Chapter 14, verse 15: Jesus, talking to the disciples at the Last Supper:If you love me you will obey my commands; and I will ask the Father, and hewill give you another to be your Advocate, who will be with you for ever - theSpirit of Truth.And the word you hear is not mine; it is the word of the Father who sent me. Ihave told you all this while I am still here with you; but your Advocate, the HolySpirit whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and willcall to mind all that I have told you.12

The Gospel of the Essenesfrom The Communions (Jesus is discoursing)The seventh communion is with our Earthly Mother.She who sends forth Her angels to guide the roots of man and send them deepinto the blessed soil.We invoke the Earthly Mother! The Holy Preserver! TheMaintainer! It is She who will restore the world! The Earth is Hers, and thefullness thereof the world, and they that dwell therein. We worship the good, thestrong, the beneficent Earthly Mother and all Her angels, bounteous, valiant, andfull of strength.The Gospel of the Holy TwelveLXVI, 13And one said unto him, “Master, when shall the kingdom come?” And he [Jesus]answered and said, “When that which is without shall be as that which is withinin, and that which is within shall be as that which is without, and, the male withthe female, neither male nor female, but the two in One. They who have ears tohear, let them hear.”13

The Gospel of Peace of Jesus Christ, by the disciple John(Jesus talking)Your Mother is in you, and you in her. Happy are you when you come toknow Her and Her Kingdom; if you receive your Mother’s angels and if you doHer Laws, I tell you truly, he who does these things shall never see disease. Forthe power of our Mother is above all. I tell you truly, that your true brothers in the will of the Heavenly Father andof the Earthly Mother will love you a thousand times more than your brothers byblood. And then shall the sons of Men like true brothers, give love to one another, thelove which they received from their Heavenly Father and from their EarthlyMother, and they shall all become comforters of one another. And then shalldisappear from the earth, all evil and all sorrow, and there shall be love and joyupon the earth. And then shall the earth be like the heavens, and the kingdom ofGod shall come.The Revelation of John, commonly known as the ApocalypseChapter 12 verse 1Next appeared a great portent in heaven, a woman robed with the sun, beneathher feet the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.14

The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the ChristChapter 44, verses 19-23: Jesus visits Greece; extract from his address to the AtheniansUnaided by the Spirit-breath, the work of intellection tends to solve the problemsof the things we see, and nothing more.The senses were ordained to bring intothe mind mere pictures of the things that pass away; they do not deal with realthings; they do not comprehend eternal law. But man has something in his soul, asomething that will tear the veil apart that he may see the world of real things. Wecall this something spirit consciousness; it sleeps in every soul and cannot beawakened until the Holy Breath becomes a welcome guest. This Holy Breathknocks at the door of every soul, but cannot enter until the will of man throwswide the door.Chapter 161 , verses 35-38: In Jerusalem, Jesus addresses the eleven disciplesAnd now I go my way, but I will pray my Father-God and he will send anotherComforter to you, who will abide with you. Behold, this Comforter of God, theHoly Breath, is one with God, but She is the One the world cannot receivebecause it sees Her not; it knows Her not. But you know Her, and will know her,because She will abide within your soul.Chapter 162, verses 4-11And Jesus spoke again unto the eleven and said ‘Grieve not because I go away,for it is best that I should go away. If I do not go the Comforter will not come toyou. These things I speak while with you in the flesh, but when the Holy Breathshall come in power, lo, she will teach you more and more, and bring to yourremembrance all the words I have said to you. There are a multitude of things yetto be said; things that this age cannot receive because it cannot comprehend.But, lo, I say, before the great day of the Lord shall come, the Holy Breath willmake all mysteries known The mysteries of the soul, of life, of death, of immortality; the oneness of a manwith every other man and with his God. Then will the world be led to truth, andman will be the truth. When she has come, the Comforter, she will convince theworld of sin, and of the truth of what I speak, and of the rightness of thejudgement of the just; and then the prince of carnal life will be cast out. Andwhen the Comforter shall come I need not intercede for you; for you will standapproved, and God will know you then as he knows me’.15

Trimorphic Protennioa(extracts)I am Protennoia, the thought that dwells in the Light. I am the movement thatdwells in the All, She in whom the All takes its stand, the first born among thosewho came to be, She who exists before the All. Protennoia is called by threenames, although She dwells alone, since She is perfect. I am invisible within thethought of the invisible One. I am revealed in the immeasurable, ineffable things.I am incomprehensible, dwelling in the incomprehensible. I move in everycreature. I am a single One (feminine) since I am undefiled. I am the Mother of the Voice,speaking in many ways, completing the All. It is in Me that knowledge dwells,the knowledge of things everlasting. It is I who speaks within every creature andI was known by the All. It is I who lift up the sound of the Voice to the ears ofthose who have known Me, that is the Sons of the Light.Now I have come the second time in the likeness of a female and have spokenwith them. I shall tell them of the coming end of the Aeon and teach them of thethe beginning of the Aeon to come, the one without change, the one in which ourappearance will be changed. So now, O Sons of the Thought, listen to Me, to the Speech of the Mother ofyour mercy, for you have become worthy of the mystery hidden from thebeginning of the Aeons, so that you might receive it. And the consummation ofthis particular Aeon and of the evil life has approached and there dawns thebeginning of the Aeon to come which has no change forever.I am androgynous. I am Mother and I am Father. It is through Me alone that theAll stands firm. I am the Womb that gives shape to the All by giving birth to theLight that shines in splendour. I am the Aeon to come. I am the fulfillment of theAll, that is Meirothea, the glory of the Mother. I cast Voiced Speech into theears of those who know Me.I am inviting you into the exalted, perfect Light. Moreover as for this Light,when you enter it you will be glorified by those who give glory and those whoenthrone you. You will accept robes from those who give robes and the Baptistswill baptize you and you will become gloriously glorious, the way you first werewhen you were the Light. 16

Devi MahatmyaPart of the larger Markandeya Purana, in this text the Devi is extolled as the all-powerfulprotector of the universe.Chapter 11, verse 3The Devas said:‘O Devi, you who remove the sufferings of those who take refuge in thee, begracious!Be gracious, O Mother of the whole world;Be gracious, O Mother of the universe;Protect the universe!You are, O Devi, the ruler of all that is movable and immovable!’17

Thirumoolar, Thirumanthiram (7 th century)The Tamil Siddhis were yogis skilled in the art of kundalini awakening, and with an in-depthunderstanding of the subtle system of chakras and nadis. Undoubtedly the greatest wasThirumoolar whose Thirumanthiram contains instructions, albeit cryptic, on how to raise theKundalini through the subtle system from Mooladhara to Sahasrara, thus achieving yoga .What follows are some verses in translation from this great work.Beyond the Mooladhara of triple angle shapedWhere time and space mingle,Aloft that centre, opposite the forehead,Hangs the Crescent Moon, of myriad shape and peerless beauty.Senses controlled, thoughts in oneness centered,If you sit in realisation thusPrana breath that comes circling again and againWill in jiva merged;Within that jiva the Kundalini dancer dancesAnd I stand seeking her there.Thus towards that excellent state practise yogic meditation;If you succeed in coursing your mother energy into the lotus in Sahasrara,You shall gain the infinite that remains hidden in the Vedas.18

Prophecies of the MahdiMadhi is the name of the last of the 12 Imams. The first Imam was Ali, son-in-law ofMohammed. According to Islam, and in particular the Shiites, Madhi comes at the time of theLast Judgement to save the world. In Sahaja Yoga we believe that Shri Mataji is the Mahdi.We note also that the Hindu ‘Adi Ma’ is the reverse of the Muslim ‘Mahdi’.The Prophet Mohammed ( reported by Abu al-Hujaf in Bihar al-anwar, vol. 51, p. 74):Listen to the good news about the Mahdi! He will rise at the time when peoplewill be faced with severe conflict and the earth will be hit by a violent quake. Hewill fill the earth with justice and equity as it is filled with injustice and tyranny.He will fill the hearts of his followers with devotion and will spread justiceeverywhere.The Prophet Mohammed (reported in Bihar al-anwar vol.51, p65; and in Ithbat al-hudat,vol.6, p382):The Day of Resurrection will not take place until the True Qa'im rises. This willhappen when God permits him to do so. Anyone who follows him will be saved,and anyone who opposes him will perish. O servants of God, keep God in yourmind and go towards him even if it happens to be on the ice, for indeed he is thecaliph of God, the Exalted and Glorified, and my successor.The Prophet Mohammed (as reported by Abu Said al-Khudari;Bihar al-anwar vol.51, p74;also in Ithbat al-hudat, vol.7, p9):The Mahdi from among my descendants, from my family, will rise at the End ofTime, while the heavens will pour rain and the earth will bring forth green grassfor him. He will fill the earth with justice and equity as it is filled with tyranny andinjustice.The followers of the Mahdi will have special powers of communication with the Imam(vibrational awareness) (reported by Ja’far in al-kulayni, al-Rawda, II/49):At the time of the Advent of our Qa’im, God, may He be exalted and glorified,will develop the hearing and sight of our faithful in such a manner that, withoutthere being a messenger between the Qa’im and themselves, he will speak withthem, and they will hear and can see him without him having left the place wherehe is.19

Unknown Sufi: On the face of earthOn the face of earth there is no one more beautiful than You.Wherever I go I wear Your image in my heart.Whenever I fall in a despondent mood I remember your imageAnd my spirit rises thousand fold.Your advent is the blossom time of the universe.O Mother you have showered Your choicest blessings upon me.Also remember me on the Day of Judgement.I don’t know if I will go to heaven or hell,But wherever I go, please always abide in me.20

Saraha, In Sahaja (8 th century)Saraha was a Buddhist monk who became a wandering yogi, and, some say, was the founderof the Sahajiya Buddhists. This is a remarkable description of the Sahaja bliss felt by theSahaja Yogis.In Sahaja there is no duality; it is perfect like the sky.The intuition of this ultimate truth destroys all attachment and it shines throughthe darkness of attachment like a full moon in the night.Sahaja cannot be heard with the ears, neither can it be seen with the eyes;It is not affected by air nor burnt by fire;It is not wet in intense rain, it neither increases nor decreases,It neither exists nor does it die out with the decay of the body;The Sahaja bliss is only oneness of emotions – it is oneness in all.Our mind and the vital wind are unsteady like the horse;But in the Sahaja-nature both of them remain steady.When the mind thus ceases to function and all other ties are torn aside,All the differences in the nature of things vanish; and at that timethere is neither the Brahman nor the Sudra.Sahaja cannot be realized in any of its particular aspects – it is an intuition ofthe whole, the one underlying reality pervading and permeating all diversity.As the truth of the lotus can never be found either in the stalk or in the leaves,or in the petals or in the smell of the lotus, or in the filament, - it lies ratherin the totality of all these parts, - so also Sahaja is the totality which canonly be realized in a perfectly non-dual state of mind.From it originate all, in it all merge again, - but it itself is free from all existenceand non-existence – it never originates at all.21

The NathsOriginating in the 11th century, successive generations of Nath yogis maintained the traditionof kundalini awakening. Their sacred texts contained detailed knowledge of the chakras andnadis of the subtle system, as in the Siddha-Siddhanta-Paddhati, attributed to Gorakhnath.Kaulajnananirnaya1, chapter 3, lines 5-10: beyond the SahasraraDearest, (in the pinda exist) the (cakras) of five lines, 16 lines, sixty four petals,the truly beautiful 100 petal (lotus) and the beautiful thousand petal lotus 2 andabove this is a very brilliant 10,000,000 petal lotus. Above the 10,000,000 petallotus is a 30,000,000 petal lotus, each pericarp of which is similar to a flame.Above this is the all encompassing, eternal, undivided, independent, steadylotus- pervading all, stainless. By its will (sveccha) it causes creation anddissolution. Both the animate and inanimate are dissolved in this linga.3Gorakhbodh, verses 29- 30: the Sahaj stateGorakhnath: Had there been no night, where would the day have come from?Without the day, where would the night merge? Matsyendranath: Without night, the day would have merged into Sahaj; hadthere been no day, the night would have passed into (Sahaj).123Attributed to MatsyendranathSahasrara chakraShri Mataji Nirmala Devi has named these chakras beyond the Sahasrara as Ardha-Bindu,Bindu, Valaya, and Pradakshina (Sahasrara Puja Talk 1983)22

John of Jerusalem, Secret Register of Prophecies (1119)When the millennium that comes after this millennium ends, men will have finallyopened their eyes. They will no longer be imprisoned in their head and in theircities, but will be able to see from one end of the Earth to another andunderstand each other. They will know that what makes one suffer hurts another.Men will form one huge body of which each one will be a tiny part. Togetherthey will form the heart of this body. There will be a common language spokenby everybody and thus, finally, a glorious humanity will come into existence .because Woman will arrive to reign supreme; She will govern the future anddecree her philosophy to man. She will be the Mother of this millennium thatfollows the millennium. She will, after the days of the devil, radiate the gentlesweetness of a Mother. She will, after the days of barbarity, embody beauty.Themillennium that follows the millennium will metamorphose into an age oflightness: Men will love each other, share everything, dream and the dreams willturn into reality.Thus man will have his second birth. Spirit will possess the mass of men whowill be united in brotherhood. So an end will be proclaimed to barbarity. It willbe the era of a new strength of belief. The dark days at the beginning of themillennium that follows the millennium will be followed by days of jubilation:man will once more find the righteous path of humanity and Earth will findharmony once more.There will be roads that connect one end of the Earth and the sky to the other;the woods will once more be dense, the desert will once more be irrigated andthe water will once again be pure.The Earth will be like a garden: man will take care of every living thing and he willclean everything he has dirtied. He will understand that the whole of Earth is hishome and he will think with wisdom of the morrow. Man will know everythingon Earth and his own body.Diseases will be cured before they are manifested and everybody will curethemselves and each other. Man will have understood that he has to help himselfto stay upright; and after the days of reticence and avarice Man will open hisheart and his purse to the poor; he will define himself curator of the humanspecies and so, finally, a new era will begin.When man has learnt to give and share the bitter days of solitude will be at anend. He will once more believe in the Spirit and the barbarians will be unheard23

of. But all this will happen after the wars and the fires, all this will arise from theashes of the burnt towers of Babel. And a strong hand will be needed to bringorder to the chaos and to put Man on the right path.Man will learn that all creatures must be respected. Man, in his lifetime, will livemore than one life and will learn that the light never goes out.24
