Impressions of the International Sahaja Yoga Festival Held in September, 09 in Togliatti. Part 1

“There is some small universe in your head, absolutely empty, and joy. One couldn’t even imagine that one day Shri Mataji would come to Russia”.

Yaroslav Salmin

“When Shri Mataji and Sir C.P. arrived at the Puja, yogis just showered them with ovation and love, without any fanaticism but with all humility and complete response. Such things simply make you admire”.

Lyudmila Lomakina

“Fabulous pure energies of Yuva Shakti, they are ancient souls indeed, they have lots of dedication and love and all the time Mother gave them much attention, and it was felt that they are Her hope… And then we saw Mother off and there wasn’t any sadness, there was only peace”.

Larisa Sterkhova

“This festival was an embodiment of divine spontaneity for me”.

Anya Shihova

“Each of us will remember these moments forever as the happiest ones. They gave much enthusiasm and powers to thousands of people for establishing Sahaja Yoga on Earth”.

Nikita Marakasov

“Mother has been there in Her Physical Form, this place has become a swayambhu forever. Mother’s Energy has spread all around, and we as small particles were dissolved in it, all our small egos, thoughts, feelings have merged into one big strength – LOVE…”

Konstantin Sterkhov

“The incredible feeling of tenderness and love, so touching care for each other have spread in the air…”

Yulia Pronenko

“She came… as a breath of wind…
As tenderness of the lightest words…
And gave each and everyone the blessing –
To be beyond all illusions and shackles…

She came… as freshness of waterfalls…
As a soft cool stream…
Dissolved all barriers in an instant
In order to light the spark of joy.

She came… as a gold song…
Whose sound only heart can hear…
As lightness of heavenly tenderness
Opened to us how to be an eternal light…

She came…. as a palpitation of small leaves…
They give a sweetness again and again..
As a silent echo between lines…
She is the One Who is called Love…”
