For Sahaja Yogis and Yoginis who are considering to get Married

  1. Are you ready for a Sahaj Marriage?
  1. Have you done introspection about getting married in Sahaja Yoga?
  1. Do you have an understanding about the commitments needed for marriage?
  1. Are you nowready to share therest of your life with another person?
  1. Are you serious about the commitment need for marriage?

Marriage in Sahaja Yoga is a Spiritual and evolutionary event in the life of a Yogi. It is not something to be taken lightly… it goes far beyond the small world of individual wants and needs. The yogi/yogini must be fully surrendered and ready for an unpredictable change in lifestyle.

Marriages that are Blessed by the Divine have a Divine purpose. The affects of Sahaja Marriages have ripple effects through families, communities & between countries.

These multicultural marriages are instrumental in allowing the flow of the Love of the Divine through the hearts of all those involved. The marriages break through untold numbers of conditionings and expectations, both known and unknown.

Having the Divine Love, which is infinite and unfathomable, as the binding principle of the marriage,provides the basis and support for a common Spiritual path of growth.

When the “hard times” happen, as all relationships have, the Blessings ofH.H. Shri Mataji are there to lead yogis through the difficult decisions and actions. Sahaja Yoga marriages have the Divine Intelligence as the guiding light, through which the Spirituality and Love of the Divine can shine. In short, you should love each other unconditionally and value each other without any sort of dominations or expectations.

It is a tremendous privilege to have a marriage that is Blessed by H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. The attention moves from the gross to the subtle and the marriage becomes a vehicle to have vibrant, joyful families and a blossoming society. We should put forward our names, but only if we are ready for this enriching spiritual experience. Marriage is a commitment for life. With such resolution and sincerity in our hearts, we should ask ourselves if we are ready, and have the maturity to take on such a deep responsibility.

Jai Shri Mataji
