2020 Celebrating Śhrī Rām Navami: “Śhrī Rāma came on this Earth to establish the institution of benevolent king”
"Firstly, you must see for yourself what is Sahaja Yoga, what it has given you. It has given you Realization, it has given you that wider vision, it has given you Collective Consciousness, it has given you thoughtless awareness and doubtless awareness. It has made a new personality out of you, like an egg becoming a bird.
And now you are a bird and you cannot go back to the shell again. Once you realize what Sahaja Yoga has done for you and also realize what you have achieved in that: that is you have achieved the knowledge, knowledge of Kuṇḍalinī which was a secret knowledge all these years, absolutely secret knowledge.
Nobody knew about it, it was all underground. All the knowledge about Kuṇḍalinī you have, very clearly, without going to any college, school, university, anywhere. Without going to any laboratories you have experimented with it, you’ve found out what is Kuṇḍalinī. You have seen with your own eyes, you’ve seen the rising of the Kuṇḍalinī, you have given Realization to people. Already you have experienced not only the Cool Breeze of the Holy Ghost but you have also experienced your own powers. Also you have seen that you have really become so much different from what you were in your knowledge of understanding things."

"Śhrī Rāma’s chakra is on the right side of the heart – here She is in the form of Śhrī Sītā."

"We have gathered here on the occasion of Rām Navamī. Everybody has said, “Mother please tell us about Śhrī Rām.”
You know that Śhrī Rāma has a very important place on our chakra, He is situated on our right Heart. Śhrī Rāma has taken the place of father hence if there is lack in the responsibility or love from father this chakra is caught. In Sahaja Yoga we to understand that Śhrī Rāma and all other Deities have taken the form to fulfill their divine work, in all Śhrī Rāma had a special task. As it was said by Socrates that the Benevolent King has to come the same way Śhrī Rāma had come on this Earth as benevolent king, He came in the form of human being, He even forgot that He was Incarnation of Śhrī Viṣhṇu, forgot about Him but for all world He was Puruṣhottama Rāma.
In Sahaja Yoga we need to know when we pray any Deity, we have imbibed the specialties and qualities of the particular Deity within us, Śhrī Rāma had many qualities.
You all know his childhood life and you have already heard about his qualities, he was Puruṣhottama he had another quality that in his ruling, he did not care for his wife or children’s in front of his subjects view."

"...... He had the capacity to kill a demon with only one arrow. It’s called as Eka-bāṇi. One arrow was sufficient of Śhrī Rāma."

Sāsi-tūna-dhanur-bāna-pānim nak-tan-charāntakam
He has a sword in one hand and a bow and arrow in the other and spare arrows in His quiver to kill the rakshasas.
Sva-līlayā jagatrātum-āvir-bhūtam-ajam Vibhum
He is beyond birth and death, His powers have no limits and through His own divine play (leela),
He has incarnated to destroy all the negative forces and to protect this world.
"Śhrī Rāma came on this Earth to establish the institution of benevolent king. The political development and the political evolution started from this [right] side. He is the one who gave leadership as a benevolent king, the one who represents God and who is a king. The idea of a king related to God came from Śhrī Rāma. But the modern kings are not like that, they have no relation with God.
On the contrary, they are horrid people. Some of them are nothing but satanic people, absolutely Satan is there and you can see from the way they lead their lives, and they have led their life before. So the benevolence of Śhrī Rāma is here [shows the right Heart] to be followed by all the political leaders and all the people who are at the helm of affairs. He is the ideal that was created for human beings, to run their authority as the head, or the loving compassionate benevolent leader of the people, who has to govern them by making them respectful, by respect. And if human beings create such things who are not respectable, those who have no human values, those who have no moral courage, those who are selfish, those who are self-centered, then they have nothing to do to be there.
So this is the position of Rāma who is the Father. So the head of every state has to be the father of his subjects, that’s what He has tried to show by His life. So much so that He had to sacrifice His beloved Wife, whom He loved so much."

[Śhrī Mātājī revealed that the most important thing about Śhrī Rāma’s life was ‘puruṣhārth’ – the will to rise above all difficulties in life and adhere to one’s duties.]

Auṃ̣ Twameva sākshāt Śhrī Puruṣh’ottama sākshāt Śhrī Ādi Śhakti Mātājī Śhrī Nirmalā Devyai namo namaḥ
The highest among the Purushas (ideal human beings)
"Now in the Dwāpar [Tretā] Yuga when Śhrī Rāma came, the idea of kingship, kingship and rulership started. So the greatest emphasis was on the goodwill of the people. The people had to have goodwill: for the people and for the king, and for the betterment of humanity. The will, that is the right side.
So how to create the goodwill?
First the leader has to sacrifice and show how far he can go in sacrificing to keep the moral and the goodwill of the people. So the right side was created by the Advent of Śhrī Rāma because he showed a path of creating among people the awareness that they should be ruled, that they should not be anarchists, there should be one head who should be able to organize, coordinate and work out a collective thing. ...The desire of all the people which is the good, righteousness, incarnates as Śhrī Rāma and He looks after that will."

"Also you must protect yourself, all of you: always give yourself a bandhan; always lead a clean life. There are certain hygienic rules of Sahaja Yoga, please try to follow them. Do not neglect it."

"Only Sahaja Yogis can bring his light to their attention of Śhrī Rāma residing in them, he was impartial. As such all the Deities are above sins and puṇyas like Śhrī Kṛiṣhṇa killed so many demons Śhrī Rāma killed Rāvaṇa with our worldly views it might be sin but according divine views it is not because they killed the negative peoples, they took out the negativity for this they had all rights to do whatever was necessary, as like the Goddess killed the demons some people will think that it was sin but it was not for the protection of Saints."

"Śhrī Rāma was born at midnight so let’s have Pūjā late. Śhrī Rāma Pūjā is not a specially long one. As He is in a human form He is humanity within us by which we understand our intellect and our thoughts get changed. Śhrī Rāma is that through Him we can change our thoughts. Our nature can change because He is our ideal.
After achieving His ideals, we reach another because He was human ideal. It is great that God came to this world in a human form to became our ideal. He has gone through all the hardships to show us strength to keep dharma. That is Viśhwa Dharma and the State of Yoga."

"So any time you see a statue – how to make out if it’s a Rāma statue, is to see if there’s an arrow and a bow, then it’s a Rāma’s statue."
