Mrs. Nirmala Srivastava — often called “Shri Mataji” (Mother) — embodies the essence of Sahaja Meditation — peace, wisdom and compassion.

She was born in India on March 21, 1923. From birth she was fully self-realized and knew her mission was to rescue humanity from confusion and despair.

Mahatma Gandhi recognized her wisdom and asked Shri Mataji, when she was a young girl of seven years, about spiritual matters.

Shri Mataji began Sahaja Meditation in India in 1970. Today Sahaja Meditation has spread to over 90 countries.

When one is in the company of Shri Mataji, one becomes very silent inside. She creates an atmosphere of serenity and joy around her. You are aware that she sees deep within you. The whole time she is giving you pure compassion and love.
