JAI SHREE MATA JI Sahaja Yoga Regional Seminar (East Region)&Shri Krishna Puja on 17 th to 20 th August 2017atBodhgaya, Gaya (Bihar) Shri Krishna as Virat.

As you know that this is a part and parcel of the Vishuddhi Chakra, where Shri Krishna resides; but when He rises to your Sahasrara, when He rises to that level, then He becomes Virata.

When you are risen above the Agnya, you become a part and parcel of Virata's land, we can say.

But when you rise above that and you become the Virat, the great, then you are in the land of Virata. And Virata's powers are tremendous. (H.

1 JAI SHREE MATA JI Sahaja Yoga Regional Seminar (East Region)&Shri Krishna Puja on 17 th to 20 th August 2017atBodhgaya, Gaya (Bihar) Shri Krishna as Virat... the divine Discretion of Shri Krishna, which is instilled within us. As you know that this is a part and parcel of the Vishuddhi Chakra, where Shri Krishna resides; but when He rises to your Sahasrara, when He rises to that level, then He becomes Virata. So Virata's chakra is placed in the head, here above the Agnya, and this Virat is the form of Shri Krishna who has risen above the Agnya. When you are risen above the Agnya, you become a part and parcel of Virata's land, we can say. Because, unless and until you are above your ego, you are still involved with yourself and with wrong ideas of maryadas. But when you rise above that and you become the Virat, the great, then you are in the land of Virata. And Virata's powers are tremendous. (H.H.Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, extracts from Shri Krishna as Virata Puja, 1999) Dear Sahaji Family, By the grace of our Beloved and Divine Mother H.H.

2 About Gaya Gaya derives its name from the mythological demon Gayasur (which literally means Gaya the holy demon), demon (Asur, a Sanskrit word) and Gaya. Over its history dating millennia, the word asur got deleted and the name Gaya remained in currency. Lord Vishnu killed Gayasur, the holy demon by using the pressure of his foot over him. This incident transformed Gayasur into the series of rocky hills that make up the landscape of the Gaya city. Gaya was so holy that he had the power to absolve the sins of those who touched him or looked at him; after his death many people have flocked to Gaya to perform shraddha sacrifices on his body to absolve the sins of their ancestors. Gods and goddesses had promised to live on Gayasur's body after he died, and the hilltop protuberances of Gaya are surmounted by temples to various gods and goddesses. These hilltop temples at Rama Shila, Mangla Gauri and Brahmayoni are part of the pilgrimage circuit, and grand staircases have been built up to most of them. Holy Sites in Gaya Sacred places in Gaya correspond to physical features, most of which occur naturally. Ghats and temples line the banks of the sacred Falgu River. Trees such as Pipal trees and Akshayavat, the undying banyan, are especially sacred. The Mangla Gauri shrine is marked by two rounded stones that symbolize the breasts of the mythological Sati, the first wife of Lord Shiva. The most popular temple today is Vishnupad Temple, a place along the Falgu River, marked by a footprint of Vishnu incised into a block of ba salt, that marks the act of Lord Vishnu subduing Gayasur by placing his foot on Gayasur's chest. The present day temple was rebuilt by Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar, the ruler of Indore, in the 18th century. Buddhist tradition regards the footstep in the Vishnupad Temple as a footstep of Buddha (who is regarded as an avatar of Vishnu by Hindus). Gaya is significant to Hindus from the point of view of salvation to the souls of ancestors (a spritual called Pindadanam). According to Ramayana, when Lord Rama came to Gaya along with Sitafor pitrupaksha (or to perform P indadanam),sita cursed the Falgu River following some disobedience on the part of the river. The mythology states that on account of this curse, Falgu River lost its water, and the river is simply a vast stretch of sand dunes. For Buddhists, Gaya is an important pilgrimage place because it was at Brahmayoni hill that Buddha preached the Fire Sermon (AdittapariyayaSutta) to one thousand former fire - worshipping ascetics, who all became enlightened while listening to this discourse. At that time, the hill was called Gayasisa. Ancient History Documented history of Gaya dates back to the birth of Gautam Buddha. About 15 km from Gaya town is Bodh Gaya, the place where Gautam Buddha got enlightenment. Since then the places around Gaya (Rajgir, Nalanda, Vaishali, Patliputra) had been the citadel of knowledge for the ancient world. These centers of knowledge further flourished under the rule of dynasties like the Mauryans who ruled from Patliputra (modern Pa tna) and covered the area beyond the boundaries of the Indian subcontinent. During this period, Gaya was a part of the Magadh region. 2
