2026 Celebrating Easter: “Today is a very important day for Sahaja Yogis because Īsā Masīh has shown us that redemption of human beings is possible”
"So, happy Easter to all!
Today we are celebrating a day which is a very, very important, absolutely the most important, we can say, day, when such a great happening took place. And it had to take place that way, it was all, in a way, destined.
In My last lectures, I have told you how Christ was created first in the Heavens. In the ‘Devī Māhātmyam [Bhāgavatam]’, if you read that, He was created as Mahāviṣhṇu and is mentioned very clearly that first He was created as an egg. It is written in this book, which perhaps was written about fourteen thousand years back. It’s a book that predicts about Christ and that is why people, in the West specially, offer an egg to each other as a friend. So, first the existence came on this Earth as an egg, that was Christ, and part of it was kept in that stage and the rest of it was used by the Holy Ghost, by Mahālakṣhmī, to create Christ out of it.
In that ancient book He was called as Mahāviṣhṇu: means the Greater Form of Viṣhṇu. But actually, Viṣhṇu is the Father and He is the Son created by the Holy Ghost.
And when He was created, He cried for His Father, as He cried also on the cross once. And He cried for years. And then Christ, in Mahāviṣhṇu State, was blessed by His Father, who said that, “Your position will be placed higher than Mine and You will be the Ādhāra,” means the Support of the Universe. See, how from Mūlādhāra He becomes the Ādhāra. This was all done at the heavenly stage, Vaikuṇṭha Stage you can say.
Then He was given birth by the Holy Ghost who was the Mother of Christ on this Earth, who was nobody else but was the Incarnation of Mahālakṣhmī, means She was Rādhā. Rā-dhā. Rā means energy, dhā means the one who sustains energy."

"So, it was a very sad time when He was crucified. But when He got resurrected it was the most joyous, most auspicious and most beautiful time.
The Resurrection of Christ is very symbolic for Sahaja Yoga. If Christ could be resurrected, then the human beings also can be resurrected, because He came as a human being with all powers and He created the Path of Resurrection for us. This Path of Resurrection is the one that we have followed in Sahaja Yoga."

"Easter is something like our birthday we celebrate; when we became a bird out of the cage, of the shell. So Easter is our birthday we are celebrating, of our Realization, and every day we must grow with our birthday. While in a human form you decrease your age as your birthday comes, but with this you increase your age."

"On the Easter Day, we give people eggs to remind them that, ‘You are egg now and you have to become the bird.’ But I don’t think people know that,
because Resurrection is the message of Christ. Crucifixion is the accomplishment, but Resurrection is His Message."

You were born in the primordial cosmic egg.
You were conceived in the heart of Śhrī Mātājī.
You were foretold by the Prophets.
You were heralded by a star in the East.
You were attended by the Three Magi, who were Brahma, Śhiva and Vishnu.
"The other day at the Āśhram I spoke to you about Easter, about the birth of Christ and His Resurrection and the message of Christianity that is Resurrection.
An egg is a very significant thing and it is written in one of the ancient Scriptures in India [as to] why Easter should be celebrated with an egg – is most surprising. It’s very clear there, if one can see, how Christ is symbolized as an egg.
Now what is an egg?
In Sanskrit language, a Brahmin is called as dvijaḥ, dvīhi jayati, means the one who is born twice. And a bird is also called, any bird, is called as a dvijaḥ, means twice-born. Because first the bird is born as an egg and then reborn as a bird. In the same way, a human being is born as an egg and then is born as a realized Soul."

"Christ came on this Earth to say that we have to seek our Spirit. The message of His life is His Resurrection.
On the Easter Day we give eggs to each other. It is very symbolic. In Indian language, a bird is called as khaga – kha-ga – and also dvijaḥ. The first one means the one which goes in the sky, flies in the sky. The second one means the twice-born. And a realized Soul is also called as dvijaḥ.
Christ has talked about your Second Birth throughout. He has said you are to be born-again."

"As you know the Sun is thus Āgñyā chakra: Christ resides in the Sun. And in the body, in the being, He is the Spirit. When He is the Spirit He’s the Moon and when He acts on the Āgñyā He’s the Sun."

You guard the gate of our Mother.
You are the Son of God.
You are the only way to the Kingdom of God.
You were crucified and resurrected in pure Spirit.
You rose after three days.
You are peace.
You absorb all thought.
You abide in the Ādi Āgñyā Chakra.
"The Resurrection of Christ is very symbolic for Sahaja Yoga. If Christ could be resurrected, then the human beings also can be resurrected, because He came as a human being with all powers and He created the Path of Resurrection for us. This Path of Resurrection is the one that we have followed in Sahaja Yoga.
But the greatest thing is the piercing of the Āgñyā chakra, which is described in all spiri... spiritual treaties or may be called as the Scriptures, that that is the door which is goldened, which is like a cover and no one can pass through that, so constricted is this door of Āgñyā chakra. But Christ did cross that.
His crossing has helped us today to open your Sāhasr... open your Āgñyā. Without opening the Āgñyā you cannot go to Sahasrār. And this was done so easily in your case only because Christ could go through all that torture and all that brutality and crossed over."

"This Resurrection of yours is much more blessed than that of Christ. He was alone, people wouldn't recognize Him. He had to show His marks where they had put nails on His hands and Feet. But today that is not the situation. Only thing is, first of all you have to recognize Me. That's all. Need not know Me. It's not easy. It's difficult to know Me, but if you recognize Me, that's all. And it all depends on your sensitivity. Your Resurrection has to be complete and you have to mature in Sahaja Yoga.
If you cannot mature, I will say you should leave Sahaja Yoga. Go out for a while, where you will understand what's going on, then you'll come back."
1995-0414 Easter Pūjā (English + Hindi), You have to Crucify Your Ego, Kolkata, West Bengal, India
"Today we are doing Easter Pūjā.
Today is a very important day for Sahaja Yogis because Īsā Masīh [Jesus Messiah (Christ)] has shown us that redemption of human beings is possible, and for that redemption, we should always put in an effort.
There is also a meaning why He was crucified.
He was crucified on the cross and this cross is a symbol of the Swastika on the Āgñyā chakra. He was crucified and He left His body there only. He told some important things at that time and one most important thing out of this was
"Wait for the Mother” – “Think of the Mother” [“Behold the Mother”]." "
