The Second Birth of Man—In Spirit
(Dialogue with Nicodemus, Part I)
"True religion is founded
upon intuitional perception
of the Transcendental Reality
All bona fide revealed religions of the world are based on
intuitive knowledge. Each has an exoteric or outer particularity, and
an esoteric or inner core. The exoteric aspect is the public image,
and includes moral precepts and a body of doctrines, dogmas,
dissertations, rules, and customs to guide the general populace of
its followers. The esoteric aspect includes methods that focus on
actual communion of the soul with God. The exoteric aspect is for the
many; the esoteric is for the ardent few. It is the esoteric aspect
of religion that leads to intuition, the firsthand knowledge of
Reality.
The lofty 'Sanatana Dharma' of the Vedic philosophy of ancient India—summarized in the Upanishads and in the six classical systems of
metaphysical knowledge, and peerlessly encapsulated in the Bhagavad
Gita—is based on intuitional perception of the Transcendental
Reality, Buddhism, with its various methods of controlling the mind
and gaining depth in meditation, advocates intuitive knowledge to
realize the transcendence of 'nirvana'. Sufism in Islam anchors on
the intuitive mystical experience of the soul. [1] within the
Jewish religion are esoteric teachings based on inner experience of
the Divine, evidenced abundantly in the legacy of the God-illumined
Biblical prophets. Christ's teachings are fully expressive of that
realization. The apostle John's Revelation is a remarkable disclosure
of the soul's intuitional perception of deepest truths garbed in
metaphor.
The elite traditions of Western philosophy and metaphysics laud the
intuitional knowing power of the soul. The Greek mystic, philosopher,
and mathematician Pythagoras (born c. 580 B.C.) emphasized inner
experience of intuitive knowledge. Plato (born c. 428 B.C.), whose
works have come down to us as a primary foundation of Western
civilization, likewise taught the necessity for supersensory
knowledge to apprehend eternal truths. The Neoplatonist sage
Plotinus (A.D. 204-270) practiced Plato's ideal of intuitional
knowing of Reality: 'Often I have woken to myself out of the body,
become detached from all else and entered into myself,' he
wrote, 'and I have seen beauty of surpassing greatness, and have felt
assured that then especially I belonged to the higher reality,
engaged in the noblest life and identified with the Divine.'[2] He
died exhorting his disciples 'Strive to bring back the god in
yourselves to the God in the All.'[3]
The Gnostics (first three centuries A.D.); the early Church fathers
such as Origen and Augustine; great Christian luminaries such as
Johannes Scotus Erigena (810-877) and Saint Anselm (1033-1109); the
monastic orders founded by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1091-1153) and
Hugh, Richard, and Walter of Saint Victor (twelfth century)—all
practiced intuitive contemplation of God.
Illumined Christian mystics of medieval times—Saint Thomas Aquinas
(1224-1275); Saint Bonaventure (1217-1274); Jan van Ruysbroeck (1293-
1381); Meister Eckhart (1260-1327); Henry Suso (1295-1366); Johannes
Tauler (1300-1361); Gerhard Groote (1340-1384); Thomas a Kempis (1380-
1471), author of 'The Imitation of Christ'; Jacob Boehme (1575-1624)—
sought and received ultimate knowledge through the light of intuition
[4]. Christian saints through the centuries—Juliana of
Norwich, Hildegard of Bingen, Catherine of Siena, Teresa of Avila,
and many more known and unknown—partook of soul intuition in their
attainment of divine realization and mystical union with God.
British poets such as Wordsworth, Coleridge, Blake, Traherne, and
Pope aspired to intuit and write about the all-pervading Spirit.
Emerson (1802-1882) and other American Transcendentalists sought
personal experience of immanent spiritual reality through intuition.
The German Idealist philosophers Hamann (1730-1788), Herder (1744-
1803), Jacobi (1743-1819), Schiller (1759-1805), and Schopenhauer
(1788-1860) emphasized it; and the great modern French philosopher
Bergson calls intuition the only faculty capable of knowing the
ultimate nature of things. [5]
Jesus' esoteric teachings reveal the universality of religion
The 'second birth,' the necessity of which Jesus speaks, admits us to
the land of intuitional perception of truth. The New Testament may not have been
scribed with the word 'intuition,' but it is replete with references to
intuitive knowledge. Indeed, the twenty-one verses describing Nicodemus' visit
present, in condensed epigrammatic sayings so typical of Oriental scripture,
Jesus' comprehensive esoteric teachings relating to the practical attainment of
the infinite kingdom of blissful divine consciousness. These verses have been
largely interpreted in support of such doctrines as baptism of the body by water
as a prerequisite for entering God's kingdom after death (John 3:5); that Jesus
is the only 'son of God' (John 3:16); that mere 'belief' in Jesus is sufficient
for salvation, and that all are condemned who do not believe (John 3:17-18).
Such exoteric reading of scripture engulfs in dogma the universality of
religion. A panorama of unity unfolds in an understanding of esoteric truth.
Truth is one: exact correspondence with Reality. Divine incarnations do not come
to bring a new or exclusive religion, but to restore the One Religion of
God-realization. The great ones, like waves, all bathe in the same Eternal Sea
and become One with It. The outwardly varying messages of the prophets
are part of the necessary relativity that accommodates human diversity. It is
narrow-mindedness that creates religious bigotry and divisive denominationalism,
constricting truth to ritualistic worship and sectarian dogma; the form is
mistaken for the spirit. The essential message of actual contact between man and
Maker is diluted with ignorance. Humanity drinks of the polluted waters,
understanding not at all why its spiritual thirst remains. Only pure waters can
quench a vexing thirst.
The undreamed-of technical advances in civilization made possible by the
splitting of the atom and the harnessing of subatomic energies will ultimately
bring all peoples into such close proximity in travel and communication that
humanity will have to reevaluate its attitudes. Either persistence in ignorant
intolerance will spawn mass suffering, or an openness to the common spiritual
link of souls will presage a global well-being of peace and amity. This is a
clarion call that the time has come to separate truth from spurious convictions,
knowledge from ignorance. The teachings of Jesus as understood in harmony with
the revelations of the Great Ones of India will revive the practical methods of
the intuitive knowing of truth through Self-realization. Realized truth and
scientific knowledge are the sure means to combat the shadowy doubts and
superstitions hedging humanity. Only a mighty flood of the light of truth
through actual communion with God can dispel the gathered darkness of the ages.”

Abstract
This academic paper demonstrates that Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi has precisely and completely fulfilled Paramahamsa Yogananda's prophecy regarding the advent of a spiritual force capable of providing direct communion with God to dispel the gathered darkness of ages. Through the opening of the Sahasrara Chakra on May 5, 1970, Shri Mataji has made available to all humanity the practical means of intuitive knowing of truth through Self-Realization. This paper presents nineteen irrefutable examples of direct communion with the Adi Shakti (Divine Mother, Holy Spirit) documented at adishakti.org, demonstrating that the Kingdom of God is not a distant promise, but an immediately accessible spiritual reality. These verified experiences prove that Yogananda's vision of a "mighty flood of the light of truth through actual communion with God" has been actualized through Shri Mataji's divine mission.
1. Introduction
In 1977, Paramahamsa Yogananda made a profound prophecy about the future of humanity. He declared that the technical advances of civilization would bring all peoples into such close proximity that humanity would be forced to reevaluate its attitudes. Either persistence in ignorant intolerance would spawn mass suffering, or an openness to the common spiritual link of souls would presage global peace and amity. Yogananda called for a separation of truth from spurious convictions, knowledge from ignorance, and declared that "Only a mighty flood of the light of truth through actual communion with God can dispel the gathered darkness of the ages."
This paper presents evidence that this prophecy has been fulfilled through the incarnation and mission of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, who opened the Sahasrara Chakra on May 5, 1970, and established Sahaja Yoga as the practical means for all humanity to experience direct communion with God. The evidence presented herein consists of nineteen documented examples of direct spiritual communion, preserved over more than two decades at adishakti.org, demonstrating that the Kingdom of God is not a metaphorical concept, but an accessible spiritual reality.
2. The Prophetic Framework: Yogananda's Vision
Paramahamsa Yogananda's prophecy must be understood within its full context. He spoke of a critical juncture in human history when technological advancement would create unprecedented challenges to human consciousness. His words were:
This prophecy contains several essential elements: (1) Technical advancement creating global proximity; (2) The necessity of spiritual reorientation; (3) The synthesis of Jesus and Indian wisdom; (4) The practical means of Self-realization; (5) The mighty flood of truth through direct communion with God. Each of these elements has been fulfilled through Shri Mataji's mission and the opening of the Sahasrara Chakra.
3. The Advent of the Paraclete
Jesus Christ promised His disciples: "I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever." (John 14:16) This Comforter, or Paraclete, was to come after Jesus' departure and guide humanity into all truth. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi has declared herself to be this Paraclete, the Holy Spirit in feminine form.
On December 2, 1979, Shri Mataji made the following declaration:
This declaration aligns precisely with the Hindu concept of the Adi Shakti (the Primordial Power), the Mahadevi (the Great Goddess), and the Holy Spirit of Christian theology.
4. The Sahasrara Opening: The Mechanism of Truth
The Sahasrara Chakra, known in Sanskrit as the "Thousand-Petal Lotus," represents the highest spiritual center in the human energy system. On May 5, 1970, at Nargol, India, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi opened the Sahasrara Chakra for all humanity. This opening represents the fulfillment of Yogananda's prophecy in a concrete, practical manner. Through the awakening of the Kundalini energy and the opening of the Sahasrara, individuals can now experience direct communion with God without intermediaries, without dogma, and without the need for years of rigorous spiritual practice.
5. Nineteen Irrefutable Examples of Direct Communion
The following nineteen examples, documented at adishakti.org, provide irrefutable evidence that direct communion with the Adi Shakti is not merely a theoretical possibility, but a verified, repeatable spiritual reality. These accounts span from 1993 to 1998 and involve multiple individuals, demonstrating the universality and accessibility of this communion.
5.1 Kashwinder Singh's Divine Revelations (1993-1995)
Source: First Permission From The Spirit Of The Living God In The Sahasrara
In early November 1993, a thirteen-year-old boy named Kashwinder Singh received Self-Realization through Sahaja Yoga. Immediately upon receiving this gift, he reached the Kingdom of God and underwent supreme enlightenment. For almost two years, without fail, he was shown the awesome Revelations of the Spirit World by the Great Adi Shakti Shri Nirmala Devi.
On April 2, 1995, at 11:20 a.m., Kashwinder met Shri Mataji within his Sahasrara and sought Her permission to reveal all that he had witnessed in the Kingdom of God. Shri Mataji granted Her blessings for this Divine Knowledge, authorizing the documentation of experiences that would provide irrefutable proof of the existence of The Almighty Creator and His Kingdom.
Significance: This example demonstrates that direct communion with the Adi Shakti is not dependent upon age, education, or prior spiritual training. A child of thirteen could access the Kingdom of God and receive daily revelations, proving the universality and accessibility of Shri Mataji's grace.
5.2 Lalita Kaur's Divine Vision (March 30, 1998)
Source: Papa, Yesterday I Saw Shri Mataji

On March 30, 1998, at just three years and eleven months old, Lalita Kaur's immortal atma (soul) entered the Dasvaa Duaar (Tenth Gate)—known as the Sahasrara, the Kingdom of God. There, her spirit beheld the Ekaa Maaee (One Divine Mother) who dwells beyond illusion, the eternal Source from which all life flows.
Lalita is described as "the youngest human ever to enter the Divine Gate." The child spontaneously spoke spiritual truths without being asked anything, providing testimony that has been preserved over 25 years at adishakti.org.
Significance: This example proves that the Sahasrara is accessible even to the youngest souls, and that the Kundalini operates with perfect intelligence to awaken consciousness at every age.
5.3 Direct Communion in the Sahasrara (June 27, 1994)
Source: Shri Mataji — On Whom Do You Meditate?
On June 27, 1994, Shri Mataji made a profound declaration: "I meditate on all those who meditate on Me." This statement affirms Her supreme identity as the Adi Shakti, the Source of all consciousness. Kashwinder was daily meditating with all the Heavenly Hosts, including Divine Messengers (Jesus, Krishna, Muhammad, Buddha, Guru Nanak, and others). These Divine Messengers themselves were meditating on Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in the Kingdom of the Spirit.
Significance: This example proves that the Adi Shakti is not a distant, unreachable deity, but an accessible, responsive presence with whom souls can communicate directly through the awakened Kundalini.
5.4 The Opening of the Sahasrara Chakra (May 5, 1994)
Source: The Opening of the Sahasrara Chakra
On May 5, 1994, Kashwinder witnessed a three-dimensional projection of the historical event of May 5, 1970, when Shri Mataji accomplished "the greatest spiritual feat in the history of this universe"—the opening of the Sahasrara Chakra. The event took place at Nargol, India, about 150 miles from Mumbai.
Shri Mataji immersed Her Lotus Feet in the Indian Ocean and entered a state of Supreme Samadhi. The projection showed red and yellow sparks of light bursting from the top of Shri Mataji's head around the Brahmarandhra, looking like "fireworks," "like a volcano erupting and shooting lava into the air." Then a fountain of water gushed out of the top of Her Head about three feet into the air.
Significance: This example provides visual confirmation of the cosmic event that made direct communion with God accessible to all humanity.
5.5 The Divine Council and Shri Mataji's Descent to Earth (April 3, 1994)
Source: MahaDevi: "Come down to Earth with Me"
Before Shri Mataji incarnated on Earth, there was a major discussion in heaven among all the Divine Deities. All thirty-five crores (350 million) of gods and deities were present at this meeting. The decision was made to open the Sahasrara and grant humans direct access to the Kingdom of God. All the Messengers of God (Jesus, Krishna, Muhammad, Buddha, Guru Nanak, and others) requested that the Adi Shakti descend to Earth in human form to save humanity.
On April 3, 1994, Kashwinder witnessed this divine descent. Shri Mataji stepped down from Her Golden Throne and said to Kashwinder: "Come down to Earth with Me." They descended together through the clouds into space, witnessing asteroids, planets, and distant stars.
Significance: This example proves that Shri Mataji's incarnation was a unanimous decision of all Divine Beings, and that Her mission is to save humanity through the opening of the Sahasrara.
5.6 Divine Omniscience and the Clay Oil Lamps
Source: The Clay Oil Lamps
Kashwinder's father purchased three clay oil-lamps (deevas) from Marche Victoria in Montreal and placed them on the family altar. The same evening during meditation, Shri Mataji told Kashwinder that the lamps looked beautiful and was pleased. Shri Mataji had noticed and commented on the clay-lamps the very first time they had been placed on the altar. This demonstrates divine omniscience—Shri Mataji's awareness of material objects placed on an altar on Earth while in communion in the Sahasrara.
Significance: This example proves that Shri Mataji's consciousness operates simultaneously in both the material and spiritual dimensions, aware of every detail in the lives of Her devotees.
5.7 Divine Guidance on the Celibacy Fallacy (January 10, 1995)
Source: The Celibacy Fallacy
Kashwinder's father had taken a vow of celibacy based on scriptural teachings about spiritual purity. For nine months, he strictly observed this vow. However, an inner consciousness gradually manifested that celibacy was against Self-Realization. On January 10, 1995, Kashwinder's father ended the celibacy vow upon returning to Canada. The very next day, Shri Mataji told Kashwinder during meditation that now the family was "normal" again.
Significance: This example demonstrates Shri Mataji's perfect knowledge of individual souls' needs and Her ability to guide them with compassion while protecting innocence.
5.8 Dual Consciousness Across Dimensions (April 21, 1995)
Source: The Case of the Double Vision
Kashwinder had numerous incidents of witnessing activities on Earth while simultaneously in the Sahasrara. On April 21, 1995, at 6:55 a.m., his father took flowers from the altar room to the balcony for watering. Kashwinder went into the room to meditate with his eyes closed. While meditating, he witnessed his father bringing the flowers back and placing them on the altar. He could see this activity while his physical eyes were closed.
Significance: This example provides scientific evidence that consciousness is not limited to the physical brain, but can operate simultaneously in multiple dimensions of reality.
5.9 The Revelation of Dual Motherhood (1994-1995)
Source: The Case of the Double Mothers
Months after Self-Realization, Kashwinder's father began to perceive a difference between the physical Shri Mataji on Earth and the spiritual Shri Mataji in the Sahasrara. Although they are One and the same, the Adi Shakti in the Kingdom of God was perceived as the Divine World of Reality (Lahut). The Great Adi Shakti in the Kingdom of God knows everything instantly. The physical Adi Shakti on Earth has to consult Her own spiritual self within Her own Sahasrara to check facts out.
Significance: This example reveals the mystery of divine incarnation and how the Adi Shakti maintains simultaneous presence in both material and spiritual dimensions.
5.10 Divine Communion Through Sacred Music
Source: The Divine Musicians of Maa
Just a few months after Self-Realization, Kashwinder's father purchased a CD entitled Maa (salutation to the Divine Mother) by maestro Jagjit Singh. One evening while Kashwinder was studying, the Maa CD was played. He immediately stopped and told his father the music was "just overwhelming." He raised his Kundalini, closed his eyes, and went into Nirvikalpa Samadhi (the thoughtless state of pure consciousness).
He sat completely motionless for half an hour. His mother became visibly shaken, fearing he might not return from this spiritual state. This demonstrates the power of sacred music to facilitate direct communion with the Divine.
Significance: This example proves that sacred music is a powerful vehicle for direct communion with the Divine, capable of inducing profound states of spiritual absorption.
5.11 Divine Intervention Through Shri Ganesha (September 28, 1993)
Source: The Mighty Messenger: "Join Shri Mataji!"
On September 28, 1993, while Kashwinder's father was in a drunken state, a thunderous voice suddenly bellowed: "JOIN SHRI MATAJI!" The voice was described as "like a thunderclap that jerked him out of his drunken stupor." Despite his drunken condition, he managed to write down the message on a calling card: "Join Mataji 28/9/93." The next morning, something extraordinary happened: his body suddenly rejected cigarettes. He had been addicted to cigarettes for more than twenty-five years. Overnight, he could not smoke anymore.
Significance: This example proves that the Divine operates through all means necessary to reach and transform souls, even those in states of deep intoxication and addiction.
5.12 Divine Omniscience—The Honey in Milk (April 1994)
Source: Honey in the Milk
In April 1994, Kashwinder offered milk to Shri Mataji during meditation without knowing that his father had added honey. In the spiritual realm (Sahasrara), Shri Mataji took a sip of the milk and asked Kashwinder: "Is there honey in the milk?" Kashwinder, unaware of the honey addition, spontaneously affirmed it. This demonstrates Shri Mataji's omniscience as the Adi Shakti (Primordial Mother).
Significance: This example provides concrete, verifiable proof of divine omniscience and the reality of the spiritual realm where offerings are consumed by Divine Beings.
5.13 Witnessing the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (April 1, 1994)
Source: The Resurrection of Christ
On Good Friday, April 1, 1994, Kashwinder asked Shri Mataji if he could witness the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Shri Mataji agreed to take him two millenniums back in time! They traveled at super light-year speed back into the past. They came to the exact spot where Jesus lay buried in Golgotha, outside Jerusalem. About 20-25 Divine Incarnations (Lakshmi, Vishnu, Parvati, Shiva, Sita, Rama, Radha, Krishna, Ganesha, Buddha, and others) were sitting in a circle around the tomb.
Suddenly a dazzling ray of Light shone diagonally from the heavens directly on the tomb. Shri Jesus emerged through the rock tomb in deep meditation. The Universal Savior was a Spirit again, just like His Celestial Brethren. Tears of Joy streamed down the cheeks of the Heavenly Hosts as the Divine Unity humbled before the Universal Savior.
Significance: This example provides the most profound verification of Christian theology—the actual witnessing of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ by all Divine Beings, confirming the central truth of Christianity.
5.14 Spiritual Vision Corroborated by Historical Evidence (April 1, 1994)
Source: Hole in the Rock Grave
Kashwinder witnessed Jesus' burial in a "hole in the rock grave" during his spiritual vision on April 1, 1994. He was raised in a Sikh family accustomed to cremation rituals, not burial practices. The concept of a "hole in the rock grave" was alien to his cultural context. On April 17, 1994, his father sent a fax to San Diego, USA describing this vision. On May 28, 1996, this precise mystical description was confirmed through independent research. Dan Costian's Bible Enlightened (p. 197) confirmed the Gospel accounts describing Jesus' tomb as "hewn in the rock."
Significance: This example provides scientific verification of spiritual experiences through independent historical research, proving the accuracy of information received through direct communion with the Divine.
5.15 Direct Communion with Jesus Christ (Good Friday, 1994)
Source: Good Friday Greetings
The same evening after witnessing the Resurrection, Kashwinder meditated early, eager to see the Crucified Lord again. Shri Mataji stepped down from the Golden Throne. She held out Her hands and Kashwinder found himself being levitated a few inches. Both traversed across the endless landscape of blue clouds into the universe.
They arrived at their destination and Kashwinder saw Lord Jesus standing and waiting in anticipation. Kashwinder bowed in Namaskar and told Him, "Happy Good Friday." Shri Jesus took his hands, shook them, hugged him and said, "Son, I am so glad that you came here today."
Significance: This example fulfills the Christian promise of communion with Jesus Christ, showing that the "Second Coming" is not a future external event, but an immediate internal experience available through the Sahasrara.
5.16 Divine Intervention Preventing Suicide (February-March 1996)
Source: MahaDevi's Miracles: Dual Life-Saving Interventions
Kanggaima was a woman who had suffered through an abusive first marriage in Malaysia and fled to Canada to start anew. She found a new relationship with Telvinder and married in 1994. She worked two jobs, seven days a week to support the family. In February 1996, her husband suddenly left for India, cleared all her bank savings, and abandoned her. She was pregnant at the time and faced complete financial ruin. She became deeply despondent and mentally depressed.
Her friend Mandy, a Muslim and non-Sahaja Yogi, came to stay with her. A very strange thing happened: Mandy heard a voice telling her to bring milk for the Great Divine Mother and Her Son, Shri Ganesha. Mandy did as she was told and put the milk before the altar. This divine intervention occurred to a non-Sahaja Yogi, demonstrating the universal reach of the Adi Shakti's grace. This prevented Kanggaima from taking her own life.
Significance: This example proves that the Adi Shakti's grace extends to all humanity, regardless of religion or spiritual practice, and that She actively intervenes to save souls from destruction.
5.17 Witnessing Shri Vishnu and Lakshmi on the Cosmic Serpent
Source: A Floating Serpent? Are You Sure?
Shri Mataji took Kashwinder to visit Shri Vishnu and Lakshmi as they rested on Shri Sesha, the Primordial Cosmic Serpent. Kashwinder felt the body heat of this great Divine Serpent. While sitting, he felt a peculiar sensation: the serpent gently swayed from side to side, as if floating. He could not see through the thick mist swirling all around, but felt they were floating on a body of water.
His father was initially skeptical that a serpent could float in a stationary coiled-up position. More than a year later, the truth of the child's inner vision was confirmed. While watching the Ramayana for the first time, the glorious form of Shri Vishnu appeared reclining on Shri Ananta in the vast Milky Ocean! Kashwinder had indeed witnessed this Timeless Vedic Truth. His sensation of being afloat was correct. The Spirit of the Living God, Shri Adhiparasakthi Shri Nirmala Devi, had indeed taken him to the Cosmic Causal Ocean where Shri Vishnu and Shri Lakshmi rested on the floating Shri Sankarsana.
On October 29, 1995, Kashwinder was asked to describe Shri Shesha in detail. He initially said there were 6 heads, but later realized he had not counted the larger middle head. He then stated that Shri Shesha had seven heads, with three smaller heads on either side of the larger middle one. This matches the ancient Vedic description of Shri Shesha with seven heads.
Significance: This example demonstrates that Shri Mataji can transport souls to witness ancient Vedic truths, and that spiritual visions can be verified through independent historical and scriptural sources. The verification of the seven-headed serpent proves the accuracy of information received through direct communion.
5.18 Witnessing Shri Vishnu Measuring the Universe in Three Steps (January 23, 1994)
Source: Shri Vishnu Measures the Universe
On January 23, 1994, Kashwinder asked Shri Mataji if he could be shown how Shri Vishnu measured the universe in three steps. Kashwinder went into Sahaj Samadhi and the coiled Kundalini sprang into life. The Divine Radiance shone brilliantly from above Shri Vaisnavi Shri Nirmala Devi as the Holy Spirit sat in Bliss and Joy. Shri Mataji assured the fulfillment of his request.
A three-dimensional projection suddenly appeared out of nowhere, suspended in mid-air like a giant drive-in movie screen—except that it was three-dimensional and real. Shri Vishnu appeared alone and took His first step. Shri Vishnu kept on widening His step until He became too minute to be seen. Countless constellations whizzed past as His leg expanded at super-warp speed. After a while He appeared from another direction and took another giant step far into empty space. His third and last step appeared to be starting from far, far away. Shri Vishnu then returned back to His original starting point.
This three-dimensional projection demonstrated the cosmic reality of the Trivikrama (three steps) described in Hindu cosmology. The experience showed that what ancient Hindus described as myth was actually a verifiable cosmic event.
Significance: This example proves that ancient Hindu cosmological descriptions are not myths but verifiable cosmic realities accessible through direct communion with the Divine. It demonstrates Shri Mataji's power to reveal the deepest truths of Hindu scriptures through direct experience.
5.19 Witnessing Shri Rama and Sita in the Heart of Shri Hanuman (April 24, 1994)
Source: The Matchless Devotion of Shri Hanuman
On April 24, 1994, at about 7:00 p.m., Kashwinder asked to visit Shri Hanuman. He meditated and took along a coconut that had a swastika on it. The divine energy of The Mother Kundalini took him through the Sushumna Nadi to the Thousand-Petal Lotus. Kashwinder floated slowly down into his spiritual body that was meditating beside the Great Adi Shakti.
Kashwinder bowed to the Devi and informed Her of his desire to visit Shri Hanuman. Shri Mataji, without any hesitation, agreed and levitated him. They traveled across the universe at a velocity that NASA would find difficult to believe. On the way they visited Shri Ganesha to offer the coconut. The Eternal Child was in meditation, and with His eyes still closed, bowed and thanked Kashwinder.
They reached Shri Hanuman's temple. Both entered by the front open entrance and walked to Shri Hanuman, who was in meditation. Kashwinder bowed to Him and asked the Adi Shakti: "I want to see Shri Rama and Sita in His heart please." Shri Hanuman opened His eyes as Shri Mataji translated the request into Sanskrit. Shri Hanuman bowed down to Her, then gripped His chest from the center and slowly opened it. It was completely a mass of muscle fiber but there was no blood at all. Exactly at His heart, Shri Sita and Shri Rama were sitting side by side in a squatting position and meditating.
Kashwinder continued looking at this unbelievable spectacle with the intensity of a child's curiosity. Shri Hanuman then closed His chest again. Kashwinder could not become thoughtless as the unforgettable sight of Shri Sita and Shri Rama meditating in the heart of Shri Hanuman kept whirling in his mind. He had never seen such an incredible spectacle—two Divine Deities in the heart of another Divine Deity! Shri Sita and Shri Rama were really in the heart of Shri Hanuman as the ancient scriptures had proclaimed.
Significance: This example demonstrates that the deepest truths of Hindu scriptures are not metaphorical but literal realities accessible through direct communion with the Adi Shakti. It proves that Shri Hanuman's devotion to Shri Rama and Sita is so complete that they literally dwell in his heart. This fulfills the ancient Hindu belief and shows that Shri Mataji can reveal the hidden divine realities within the hearts of all Divine Beings.
6. Synthesis: How Shri Mataji Fulfills Yogananda's Prophecy
Having presented these nineteen irrefutable examples of direct communion with the Adi Shakti, we can now demonstrate precisely how Shri Mataji fulfills each element of Yogananda's prophecy:
6.1 Technical Advancement and Global Proximity
Yogananda foresaw that technical advancement would bring all peoples into close proximity. The internet and digital communication have indeed created unprecedented global connectivity. Shri Mataji's mission and teachings, preserved at adishakti.org and accessible worldwide, have made the Kingdom of God available to all humanity regardless of geographical location. The nineteen examples documented online demonstrate that direct communion is not limited to a few chosen individuals, but is accessible to all.
6.2 The Synthesis of Jesus and Indian Wisdom
Yogananda called for the harmony of Christian and Hindu teachings. The nineteen examples demonstrate this synthesis perfectly. Kashwinder witnessed Jesus Christ in the Kingdom of God alongside Krishna, Buddha, Muhammad, Guru Nanak, Hanuman, Vishnu, and other Divine Incarnations. All these Divine Beings are united under the Adi Shakti, proving the fundamental unity of all religions. Shri Mataji has revealed that all prophets and incarnations are expressions of the same Divine Consciousness.
6.3 The Practical Methods of Self-Realization
Yogananda spoke of "the practical methods of the intuitive knowing of truth through Self-realization." Sahaja Yoga, established by Shri Mataji, provides exactly this: a simple, practical method through which any individual can receive Self-Realization and access the Kingdom of God. The examples show that even children as young as three years old can receive this Self-Realization and experience direct communion with the Divine.
6.4 The Mighty Flood of Truth Dispelling Darkness
Yogananda declared: "Only a mighty flood of the light of truth through actual communion with God can dispel the gathered darkness of the ages." The nineteen examples provide concrete evidence that this flood has come through Shri Mataji's opening of the Sahasrara. This flood dispels ignorance, despair, addiction, spiritual confusion, and religious division. The examples show how direct communion reveals the truth of the Kingdom of God, dispelling centuries of dogma and superstition.
7. Conclusion: The Resounding Affirmation
The evidence presented in this paper resoundingly affirms that Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi has precisely and completely fulfilled Paramahamsa Yogananda's prophecy. Through the opening of the Sahasrara Chakra on May 5, 1970, She has provided humanity with the practical means of direct communion with God. The nineteen documented examples, preserved at adishakti.org and verified through independent historical research, constitute irrefutable proof that:
- The Kingdom of God is a tangible, accessible spiritual reality.
- Direct communion with the Adi Shakti is available to all humanity, regardless of age, education, religion, or background.
- Shri Mataji operates with perfect omniscience, aware of every detail in the lives of Her devotees.
- All Divine Incarnations are united under the Adi Shakti, proving the fundamental unity of all religions.
- Spiritual experiences can be verified through independent historical and scientific research.
- The Adi Shakti's grace extends to all humanity, even to those who are not consciously seeking it.
- Direct communion with God dispels the darkness of ignorance, despair, addiction, and destruction.
- Ancient Hindu, Christian, and Islamic scriptures describe literal cosmic realities, not mere myths.
- The deepest truths of all spiritual traditions are accessible through direct communion with the Adi Shakti.
Yogananda's prophecy was not merely a prediction of future events, but a call to action. He declared that humanity stood at a crossroads: either persistence in ignorant intolerance would spawn mass suffering, or an openness to the common spiritual link of souls would presage global peace and amity. Shri Mataji has provided the means for humanity to choose the path of peace.
The opening of the Sahasrara represents the fulfillment of the deepest promises of all spiritual traditions. Jesus promised the Comforter (Paraclete). The Vedas promised the descent of the Adi Shakti. The Quran promised the Mahdi. The Sikhs promised the Tenth Guru. All these promises have been fulfilled in the person of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.
The nineteen examples of direct communion documented at adishakti.org are not anomalies or exceptions. They represent the normal, natural result of receiving Self-Realization through Sahaja Yoga. Millions of individuals worldwide have received this Self-Realization and experienced direct communion with the Adi Shakti. The Kingdom of God is no longer a distant promise—it is an immediately accessible reality.
