On Wednesday evening all the children and the staff of the Sahaja school in Cabella were invited by Shri Mataji to the Genova villa for a Christmas party.

Due to lots of traffic it was nearly eight oclock before everyone arrived at the villa and we were ready to go up to the second floor and offer Christmas wishes to Shri Mataji and Sir C.P. As soon as we had entered the house, the vibrations were flowing and we we could all feel our Mothers love.

On the occasion of Shri Dattatreya Jayanti, the children from Centrassi school offered Shri Mataji a puja. Every child bowed and put a flower at Mother's Lotus Feet. After the aarti, yogis from various countries offered gifts; a gift was made from the Romanian collective on the occasion of their National Day.

On the day of Guru Nanak's birthday all children of Cabella and Centrassi school were invited to the Castle to meet Shri Mataji. When they arrived in Palazzo Doria, everything was ready for puja and they entered in Mother's living room. The vibrations opened up like flowers in our hands and Sahasraras.

Today Shri Mataji received the Italian Sahaja Yoga Council. As flowers were presented, so was a letter from the collective inviting Mother and seeking Her blessings to celebrate Christmas Puja in Rome. An entire week of festivities is being planned in Rome on the occasion.

The Diwali Puja celebrations were momentous for all the Sahaja Yogis present in Cabella from the 15th to the 19th of October. Here is a brief account of those lovely days, along with a small excerpt of Mother's talk from previous years on the significance of each day that was celebrated.

The first night - of silence - we were able to offer a small Puja.
It started with an invocation "Immortal, Invisible, God only wise. In light, inaccessible, hid from our eyes
Most blessed Most glorious, the ancient of Days. Almighty, victorious, Thy great Name we praise"

 

As tradition would have it, the 14th International Sahaj Summer Youth Camp took place up in the mountains in the peaceful village of Daglio.  This year we had two camps, the boys camp ran from 19 July to 1 August (just after the Nirmal Arts Academy) and the girls camp started on 1 August and ended on 14 August (just before Shri Krishna Puja).

After a very eventful 5 days of music, arts, discussions and collective meditations, 2800 yogis were ready welcome Shri Mataji to the hangar for Ganesha Puja. While yogis meditated and sang bhajans, leaders of the hosting countries were in the Castle to welcome Mother to the Puja.

Today the Yuva Shakti were invited to Palazzo Doria to sing for their Beloved Mother. More than 300 Yuva Shakti from all around the world, who were present in Cabella for the Yuva Shakti Seminar, came together to the main piazza of the castle. A beautiful Gazebo was prepared for Mother's arrival that the Yuva Shakti helped decorating with flowers.

On Wednesday 19th August, Shri Mataji and Sir CP invited some members of the World Foundation to their apartments in Cabella and informed them of their decision to transform into a donation the € 600,000 loan made to the Foundation two years ago.

More than 2400 yogis from across the World gathered in Cabella to celebrate Krishna Puja. As the evening drew near yogis were seen singing bhajans and collectively meditating in the hangar in Cabella. Everyone was meditating while they awaited Mother's arrival.

It all started with a rakhi being sent from Austria to Cabella, as the symbol of ONE WORLD, for Sri Mataji on 1^st August. That very day we received news about Mother’s desire to come to Her house in Austria. The news was received with great joy and reverent prayers that nothing would change the course of Her coming to Austria.

A wave of vibrations is breezing through Europe these days: the international "Cool check" yuva shakti team is bringing joy and peace all over.

Today we celebrated Guru Prunima in the holy presence of Shri Mataji at Palazzo Doria. Yogis from around the world came together to celebrate and venerate our Divine Mother on the occasion. The evening was going to be memorably beautiful for everyone

The evening of the Puja saw more than 1300 yogis singing bhajans and collectively meditating in the hangar in Cabella. Everyone sat clamly to await Mother's arrival

As the evening of the Puja arrived, the hangar was ready with a beautifully decorated stage and hundreds of yogis were anxiously waiting for the arrival of our beloved Shri Mataji. Collective meditation was initiated with screening of a very powerful old video speech of Shri Mataji that followed with a few bhajans in praise of the Adi Shakti.

Today, the 2nd of June, on the occasion of the 63rd Anniversary of the Italian Republic Day, a few representatives of the Italian Collective came to offer their pranaam at the Lotus Feet of our Holy Mother.

This morning Shri Mataji expressed a desire to see some artistic items, amongst the gifts that were offered to Her in the past weeks.

Today the staff and the 30 children of the Centrassi School were invited to Palazzo Doria to be blessed by our Divine Mother.

The children arrived in the afternoon and were taken to the living room. They stood patiently, yet eager, for their beloved Mother to receive them; and as the doors opened, each of the children entered and with all sweetness and sincerity bowed down at the Lotus Feet of Shri Mataji.

The Saturday evening highlight was the presence of renowned Indian musician Pandit Bhajan Sapori. The evening commenced by the Indian musicians seeking the blessing of Shri Mataji at Palazzo Doria.

The evening program began with welcome aarti to Shri Mataji (Nirakara form) followed by the collective meditation. The cultural event was studded with various artists which included some blues number. The pinnacle of the evening reached with the international bhajan groups stealing the show with their wonderful collective bhajans.

Today on the occasion of Akshaya Tritiya, a small puja was offered to Shri Mataji. An auspicious day in the Vedic calendar, Akshaya (signifying eternal) Tritiya is marked as a day to begin new undertakings which bring success and fortune.

Today Shri Mataji gifted an adorable puppy to the children from Centrassi school. Before the children came, Mother took the Golden Retriever by its little paw. It was sweet to see how it fell asleep while in Shri Mataji's Hands.

It was late in the evening, when the famous Yellow bus from Centrassi pulled up in front of the Castle with 32 eager children aboard.

Today, more than 20 sahaja yogis who had worked at renovating the Castle recently, had the blessing of being received by their Beloved Mother.
There were major renovation works at the Castle this winter. These yogis worked through the last 5 months up till the very day of Shri Mataji's arrival at Palazzo Doria.

While Mother was resting in Her room in the evening, a group of yogis had gathered at the Castle to enjoy the notes of Indialucia, a fusion between flamenco and indian classical music, performed by our brothers Miguel, Avaneendra and Sandesh.

Shri Mataji once again, in Her infinite compassion and love, blessed the collective assembled in Albera. About 500 people had gathered in early afternoon to perform Her worship at the end of the seminar weekend.

Our beloved Holy Mother Shri Mataji has arrived at Palazzo Doria, Cabella Ligure, Italy.

After landing at about 9pm Shri Mataji graciously received the flowers from the yogis who had come to welcome Her to the Land of the Soul. During the trip to Cabella She shed light and blessing through the night.
