Self-realization Programs for Children during the New Year Yuva Shakti Seminar in Russia

During the New Year Yuva Shakti Festival, Shri Mataji gave us a good evidence that the desire to spread Sahaja Yoga comes true immediately. In the rest-house where the Festival was taking place, there lived a group of little sportsmen – 1st year graders – and it occurred to Sahaja Yogis to give them Self-realization. On meeting the kids at dinner time, the Yogis suggested their coach to listen to a small concert and he agreed. A music band consisting of Yuvas from different parts of Russia was formed at once and in 20 minutes the musicians were already sitting on a mat in front of the children.

Keeping attention of 30 children who have a habit to cry as loudly as possible just of joy – it is not an easy task but our sisters-presenters coped with it in a beautiful way! The sportsmen applauded cheerfully after the bhajans, listened to the fairy-tale about the fight of the good and evil within a man and imagined they were yogis listening to the good within themselves. The quietest ones even meditated! Isn’t it amazing: when, at the very beginning of the concert, the presenter asked what the best quality of man was most of the kids answered, “purity” or “forgiveness”?!

Probably, the awareness of what they have touched will come to them in some time: the Kundalini has awoke in these kids. After the concert, the fascinated coach asked us to repeat everything for him personally and the elder Yogis told him in detail about Sahaja Yoga and gave him Self-realization. And we witnessed once again that as soon as you express pure desire Adi Shakti does the work through us Herself.

Jai Shri Mataji!

During the New Year Yuva Shakti Festival, on the 4th day of the new year, a group of Yuva Shakti frm different cities was holding a public program in the children’s rest house “Salyut” (Samara City). There were about 100 children, from 7 to 15. They were really interested in listening to bhajans, especially “Ganesha, Ganesha!” There were Indian dances “Puja” and “Shiva”. At the end of the event the children had a chance to dance together with the dancers to the accompaniment of the bhajan “Mahamaya”. About 40 people were joyfully dancing. The kids even tried to repeat the words of the bhajan. Two girls took part in the program: they were suggested to put on a sari and a panjabi. They liked these clothes very much and said that Indian clothes were much more comfortable then it seemed. The children were also interested in the music instruments as they saw them for the first time in their life. We taught them to meditate – both they and we had very good vibrations. It was seen that those were the kids who needed Sahaja Yoga and at such moments you want to give Self-realization to their parents.

We noticed that children of 7-10 treat Sahaja meditation with much interest! Thus, the conclusion can be made that since the child (non-yogi) turns 6 he can be actively involved in Sahaja Yoga.
