Sahaja Yoga Concerts and Public Programs in Sochi and Novorossiysk, Russia
September 28-29, 2012 On September, 28 the hall of the open-air Theatre Rivyera in Sochi gathered about 800 people. heart was full of joy and vibrations were strong and sustainable. We hope that after this program

Within two weeks before the Public program the advertising posters with the photo of Shri Mataji were hanging on the billboards all over the city. The advertisement was also made on TV and the radio. Sahaja Yogis living or staying in other

Sochi Sahaj collective will grow and become stronger. Also a Public Program was held in Novorossiysk on September, 29. At the program Sahaja Yogis

neighbouring cities got information about this Public Program through official SMS-sending and came to help the local Yogis spread leaflets in the streets of Sochi. Sochi is a health resort in the south of Russia. That is why it is a place for lots of different people to come with their various goals. Among them, there are sincere seekers as well as people with extrasensory perception who are sure in their way of life. There are also followers of false gurus. And it is easy to feel it by vibrations there. At the Public Program where Sahaja Yogis gave self-realization according to the full Sahaja Yoga protocol the 3

showed the seekers a short movie about Shri Mataji and Her work for humanity which She was doing during many years. Thus, more than one thousand people got their self -realization in the south of Russia that September week-and. P.S. See all the photos and video from the events here

Self-realization at the concerts in Volgograd and Saratov, Russia

September 14, 2012 At night on September 14-15 we were met by a small but very warm-hearted and purposeful collective of Volgograd Sahaja Yogis. They had been preparing for the concert vibrationally and by holding an intensive advertising campaign for lic Program but by a wonderful concurrence of circumstances they signed an Agreement with the State Social and Economic University where there turned to be a cozy concert hall with modern sound equipment and two students who successfully

helped us with the stage lights. And by 2 oclock the hall was also nearly fully occupied. Both of the cities had the photo of Shri Mataji on their advertising materials. Probably, people went

concert not far from the venue of the Public Program. Thus, Sahaja Yogis were spreading leaflets on the bank of the river Volga among crowds of people and Sahaj musicians were tuning up the sound equipment in the Concert Hall. At 4 oclock the Concert Hall where there were 550 seats were occupied by 80 per cent. Late in the evening on the same day the SY collective of another city, Saratov, met us. First, the local Sahaja Yogis had failed to find a hall for the Pub5

to the concerts not only being interested in Indian art but also being attracted by vibrations. The seekers who came to the concerts in both the cities received the information about Sahaja Yoga very warmly and most of them did self-realization protocol. After the concert in Saratov, Sahaja Yogis were giving people not only invitations to the courses for newcomers but also leaflets with the information that Sahaja Yoga was officially recommended by the International Organization UNESCO Center for peace.

And, of course, after those two days we felt a great gratitude to Shri Mataji for that joy which was filling us when we were telling people about Her method of carrying love. And we were also thankful to Shri Mataji for the opportunity to tell people about Sahaja Yoga in such an open way! With love, Sahaja Yogis of Togliatti, Volgograd and Saratov (Russia) P.S.

Sahaja Yoga Programs in Orenburg and Penza, Russia

December 14, 2012 On November 24 and December 1, there were held Sahaja Yoga programs in Orenburg and Penza, two large regional centers of the country. About 1000 people got their Self-realization at these programs. there was no barrier from the very beginning. And also it depends in what mood you come onto the stage, as you get the same sensation from the audience. And at the program we were getting 10 times more from the viewers! And the flow of vibrations

Svetlana, a dancer, says about the first program, Usually, when you perform at the concert, you think about the dancing technique: about the music, about your mistakes but at the program in

was increasing! And this love, joy was during the whole trip to Orenburg: there was very sweet atmosphere at the

Orenburg there were absolutely no thoughts and no mistakes. Ideally perfect, accurate, ideally synchronous (the dances were performed by a trio of dancers). As if we were one whole with the sisters and we were dancing in joy and love. There was such enjoyment from the hall, extraordinary! When you dance before the protocol of Selfrealization and after, usually you feel the difference. Before the protocol of Self-realization is fulfilled, there is still some barrier. At this program 9

Yogis place where we stayed, everything was organized in a very homelike way, with much softness, with much love. Penza met us with the same love and care. In this city a program at such a scale is organized the third time in a row. Penza Sahaja Yogis try to preserve Sahaj traditions and make a program in the hall for 600 seats at the same time of the year. And there is vibrational dynamics in it: each year more and more people call before the concert, more and

again this time for the camera. And in two days a program about Sahaja Yoga was shot on TV. After the concert feeling Penza Sahaja Yogis enveloping care, the participants and organizers of the concert unanimously mentioned that the program had been very balanced according to the number of music pieces and dances performed, the words told and the vibrational unity of the musicians, dancers and the viewers. Such tours fill you with positiveness, you see the aim for which you are doing all this and then, with even more desire, you work at the next Sahaj projects realizing that everything we do is to carry joy to people and to make the world around us more beautiful! Jai Shri Mataji! P.S. See all the photos and video from the event here http://news.sahajayoga-russia.ru/?p=3036

more seats are occupied in the hall, and with more and more joy, desire and certainty people get their Self-realization. And it is felt vibrationally! This time there was felt incredible lightness though it was a gloomy day outside. The journalist who was interviewing one of the brothers about the aim of the concert before the actual shooting quickly felt the subject of Sahaja Yoga and asked the Yogi to say everything he had just said about the importance of Sahaj teaching
