Sahaja Yoga Workshop, Wamuran, Queensland
We had a very successful Sahaja Yoga workshop at Wamuran, near Brisbane, on Sunday 29th June 2014. About 35 people attended, many for the first time.
The program started at 9.30am with ‘meet and greet’, refreshments and introductions. This was followed by a short introduction to Sahaja Yoga and then Self-realisation. Everyone then experienced footsoaking, clearing the subtle system and exchanging vibrations.
An in-depth demonstration followed of the various clearing techniques used in Sahaja Yoga. These treatments include candles, lemons and chillies, and onion treatment for the Agnya Chakra.
The hard-working kitchen team had cooked a beautiful lunch which was served outside in the sunshine.

After lunch, a meditation/workshop was held outside on the Mother Earth where exchanging vibrations and experiencing inner silence were only interrupted by the wind, the birds and the rustling of trees.
Shri Mataji’s video talk was followed by music from ‘Sahaj Sangeet’ bhajan group. The performance was very well received, with people joining in clapping. Finally, a silent meditation left everyone in Sahastrara.

Sahaja Yoga music group, Curry Fest 2014
On the weekend of 25-27 April 2014, a large contingent of Queensland Sahaja Yogis travelled to Woolgoolga, NSW for the 9th annual “Curry Fest”.
Woolgoolga has a large population of Indians of mainly Sikh origin, and the Sikh Temple is clearly visible when driving through.
On Saturday morning, our music group performed a number of musical items, beginning at 9.30 am. Although we were early for our stage spot, the “roadies” were in hyper mode, sorting out all the cables, microphones and speakers.
Eventually our “sound check” became our first number, “Jai Gana Raya”. Onlookers, finally aware of our presence, started to approach the stage. This was followed by “Namami”, “Mahamaya” and “Jogawa”, with a good response from the growing crowd.

Then the musical performance was over, and we headed to the Sahaja Yoga stall. We had a lovely spot overlooking the beach, away from the noise of the main stage. About sixty people got their Self-realisation, and many more took brochures and information about Sunday’s follow-up program, which was booked in a local hall.
People who came to the stall on Saturday at the Festival came to the follow-up program on Sunday to receive more information and to experience the meditation again. The people who attended enjoyed the meditation and a talk by Shri Mataji (the founder of Sahaja Yoga). Overall, it was a very gentle and loving program, with every hope that people will continue at the local program in Coffs Harbour and at a possible new program in Woolgoolga.
