Seventy-five doors, seventy-five opportunities to ascend: the words, advice and wisdom of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.
This collection of sixty-four stories, all told to us by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, includes The Creation of Shri Ganesha, The Sanyasi and the Rain and Padmini and the Palanquin. They are tales of inspiration, guidance and humour, "The stories are there," she said, "but behind these stories, you have to see the subtle things."
Shri Mataji writes that “India is a very ancient country and it has been blessed by many seers and saints who wrote treatises about reality and guidelines on how to achieve it.” This is just such a book. This book is both an introduction to Sahaja Yoga, describing the nature of the subtle reality within each of us, and a step-by-step handbook on how to be a good Sahaja Yogi, the nature of Sahaj culture, how to be a leader and how to raise children. “The knowledge of Sahaja Yoga cannot be described in a few sentences or one small book, but one should understand that all this great work of creation and evolution is done by some great subtle organization, which is in the great divine form.”
Eighteen classic full-page photographs of Shri Mataji are each accompanied by her own words as an accompanying caption – words and pictures at their most powerful.
Words of guidance and wisdom from Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi for each day of the year, selected from thousands recorded talks, presented on the day of the year on which they were spoken.
The first full-length examination of Sahaja Yoga, a new religious movement led by Sri Mataji Nirmala Devi, which claims up to one hundred thousand members from around the world.This is the first full-length examination of Sahaja Yoga, a new religious movement led by Sri Mataji Nirmala Devi, which claims up to one hundred thousand members from around the world. The author examines how newcomers adopt new practices and allegiances on becoming full-time members, and how most develop a radically new awareness of 'spiritual vibrations' as a result of the regular meditation suggested by Sri Mataji. To do so, she reflects upon current theories of socialisation, in particular building up understandings about new social worlds than has so far been appreciated. This accessible and informative account is of particular value to scholars working in the study of religions and new religious movements, and of interest to those working on theories of socialisation. However, the book is required reading for anyone who wants to know more about the contemporary religious landscape.
A collection of seldom seen and rare photographs of Shri Mataji from the early days of Sahaja Yoga: through the eyes of the camera, you are there.

Shri Mataji tells us how recognition gives us protection, as well as five other articles created from her words, including How to be Collective and The Elements.
One talk from 1977 stands alone: Creation. "You are the people who are on the stage," Shri Mataji told us. "You are created for this purpose." This single talk fills all the pages of this richly illustrated magazine. She begins with these words: "It is a very difficult subject. And I will try to make it intelligent for you, but I would request you to pay full attention for such a difficult subject like creation."
