Description :

I was at the epitome of my spiritual accent when the album Sahaj Sadhana was born . From being an ignored child all my life, having lost all hope to live in my own glory and being humiliated ever now and then since my early years in life, I had received a new lease of life after meeting Shree Mataji - The way she took to me instantly on our first meeting. Similarly, I adored her attention on me. She made me feel someone very special. It was firstly hard to believe. Even those in my family & friend circles who used to mock me and show me down, became large-hearted towards me. In a matter of just a few years in contact with Shree Mataji, my entire world had changed. People around me began to respect me. This was such a welcome change for me. I was totally sold out to Shree Mataji. Firstly in awe of her, but then realized I was a part of her life. She never forgot to take me along at every stage. From calling me over to be with her, she spent lots of time with me, sharing this wonderful knowledge of Sahaja yoga. Imagine to take my Self Realization directly from her. This constant feed of love and compassion of Mother had reached its peak in 1990. Both my children - Boy named Sahaj & girl named Sadhana, along with my wife Aradhana, all stood in total support to me. I decided to name my next album Sahaj Sadhana (simple meditation). I remember very vividly, I was with our Nirmal Sangeet Sarita colleagues at a public program in Europe with Shree Mataji, when she asked me to sing one of my compositions. That entire week I had been writing poems. I burst into one song after another. Each song I sang to her, later was recorded in my Album Sahaj Sadhana. One of its songs, when Mother heard, she commented "This is Ritambra Pragnya". Back in india, My parents were travelling with Shree Mataji in the same car to Noida from Delhi. Shree Mataji was playing my Album Sahaj Sadhana in the car. In one of the songs - " Maa Chhipi ho tum...." as it played, it was nice and sunny outside with not a trace of clouds. But as the song progressed, the poem words read " the clouds of Myth are shedding and suns rays (rays of consciousness) are now creating the seven colours of vibgyor like a rainbow. It was describing a scene out of a fairy tale-like situation for one who is enlightened, then for whom the elements come together to create a virtual heaven-like situation. That was the essence of the poetry. Just when that part of the song began, suddenly from nowhere the clouds came and the entire sky became black. Suddenly it poured cats & dogs, and within minutes the sky cleared and the sun rays formed the seven colours. The song was still going on, when Mother commented " See, see, what he has just sung, has actually happened right before our eyes. See how true is this poetry? Definitely it is "Ritambra pragnya". My parents, when they got back home, they narrated this incident to me. My goose pimples came on. Another song in this album "Sahaj Ki Dharaaon ka.... Jai Shiva... she also loved. I sang it in Shivrtri Puja at Delhi in 1991. Mother specially called me on stage and asked me "Please sing the song of Jai Shiva..." Her loving eyes showered all her compassion on me as I sang it to her.
