The Advent

This book proposes and describes a new category of perception called vibratory awareness, beyond thought, feelings or instinct, by which all kinds of absolute questions are answered. This awareness itself, thinks, organizes and loves. It balances, neutralises and heals human problems, and relates man to the divine. In different scriptures it has been named as divine breath or the flood of bliss. It is innate in every human being, though unconscious for most. Great prophets and founders of different world religions preached the life style which would optimize man’s awakening to its conscious knowledge– Self-realization, second birth, mukti. Divine incarnations who came on this earth at different stages of man’s evolution prepared the setting for its manifestation on a mass scale as the phenomenon of collective consciousness. Every reader is invited to verify personally the existence and the validity of this new awareness; many already have.

Evidently, the one who has introduced this breakthrough, leading man to his evolutionary maturity, is a truly unique being. Her Holiness Mataji Nirmala
Devi Shrivastava, a mother and grandmother, was born at Chindalwara, a small hill station in central India, 56 years ago on 21 March 1923. Many thousands of disciples now practise Her technique of Sahaja Yoga, meaning inborn technique, by which their lives have been transformed. Individually and collectively they are fulfilled, and have become dynamic, compassionate and wise, through the implementation of vibratory awareness in their daily lives. They are ordinary householders and citizens. Their model and teacher is their Divine Mother – H.H. Mataji – an extremely loving, simple, intelligent, frank and genuine personality. This book is about Her Advent and Her message.

The last section of the book takes Western readers through a breathtaking survey of the world’s religious, philosophical and political ideas, exposing the historical necessity of Sahaja Yoga, which provides the “epistemological breakthrough” that resolves and integrates their apparent conflicts. Finally, the author confronts the false assumptions which could hinder the acceptance and flowering of this integration in modern human societies.

“This is the era of Enlightenment. One can see and feel the bubbling of new idioms in our creative world of art, music and all that is beautiful and joy giving. Integration is the keynote of this new regeneration of universal tones. These tones are ripples of the harmonic, dynamic undercurrent music of the Universal Divine Love.

Is there a possibility of this love expressed in the unity of human beings with God Almighty giving a new vision to the apparent diversities?

It is possible that this unique happening is accessible to many, that they may see their own creative world revolving in the great universe of all pervading power?

My only answer is “Yes.”

My only question is “Why not?”
