Wonderful Night in Charlestown
Nov 14th, 2014
The Hoyts Cinema in Charlestown near Newcastle, Australia, opened its doors for a totally different cinema experience, and the people of nearby Lake Macquarie definitely took advantage. Over sixty seekers poured in to see ‘“Freedom and Liberationâ€, a film about Shri Mataji’s life.
Two musicians performed songs of serene joy before a short introductory talk. Not one person left and all but a couple stayed to receive their realisation.
The gentle voice of a Sahaja yogi took the audience through the affirmations of Self-realisation. Once again the silence was deep. At the conclusion the yogi summed up the experience beautifully with the comment, “The seed has been planted and now it is up to you to grow.â€
This is the best part of Sahaja Yoga: there is no pressure ever. Although the greatest desire is to have as many people come to learn to meditate, Sahaja yogis will never preach or try a hard sell, as Shri Mataji’s words always ring true with people and the practical results of her meditation techniques speak loudly for themselves.
The following feedback from the Charlestown presentation proves this to be true!
Meditation great!
 I missed the film but the after-experience was beautiful. Very uplifting!
It was lovely. Thank you.
Interesting to hear about Sahaja Yoga meditation and I have enjoyed the experience for five weeks. It’s awakening and spiritually wonderful.
I appreciated that you let the film do the talking and minimised any “preachingâ€- a good approach for an introduction.
Very peaceful influence.
Very enlightening.
I really enjoyed the documentary. I had not heard of Nirmala Devi before and I enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you.
Thanks. The fact that it was free is a strong symbol of sincerity.
Very enlightening. Liked the meditation.
