Bangkok - Denpasar - Ubud,
May 12th, 2014
With all of us gaining such a vibrational boost from attending Shri Buddha Puja in Thailand, we were eager to begin the Realise Indonesia Tour 2014.
There was a nice mixed group of 19 yogis/yoginis,
consisting of 3 from Australia, 4 from Hong Kong,
7 from China, 1 from France, 1 from Switzerland,
1 from Taiwan, and 2 from Indonesia.
As with many of the tours, it felt like our qualities where all brought together as part of the divine plan to strengthen our ascend and grow through Mother's love and guidance.
Arriving in Bali, it felt like home as we settled in to the comfortable coach arranged for our travels.
Soon our collective Nabhi were nicely being satisfied with the wonderful
Indonesian nature, hospitality, culture,
and the first of many memorable tasty meals together !!

Arrival in Ubud at the beautiful Gayatri Bungalows was a time to regroup,
have some rest, and in the evening, we perform a strong clearing havan
for negativity concerning yogis in Indonesia and around the world.
Ubud - Denpasar, May 13th, 2014
Next morning, we wake up in majestic tropical surroundings,
then off to perform Shri Ganesha - Shri Rama Puja.
then off to perform Shri Ganesha - Shri Rama Puja.
That evening we attended the first of the 3 amazing evening seminar and
workshop programs in Denpasar, held in a nice open restaurant called
Bokashi Farm, surrounded by a lovely grass and garden.
The vibrations in the clouds before the program were very strong and
a small image of Shri Ganesha in a triangle was also spotted,
helping to lift our spirits and feelings of auspiciousness.
The advertising in the local newspaper was proving to be a great investment
and attracted a lot seekers, bringing in at least 40 people or so.
At the end of the program, as the theme of the seminar and workshop this year is “Jogawa”,
all yogis together, got up and sang Jogawa,
which also helped to clear the collective\s heart and Vishuddi,
which felt to be growing stronger throughout the tour.

Denpasar, May 14th, 2014
Next morning , as we had already checked in to a hotel in Denpasar,
it was a short walk to a monument park where many locals get up early to exercise,
called Bajra Sandhi Monument,
which was built to admire Balinese people’s struggle from time to time.
The monument is located in front of the Bali Governor's Office in Renon, Denpasar.
We set up the banners and started to give self realization to whoever was willing and pass out many flyers promoting the 2 upcoming programs In Denpasar.
As always the great qualities of seekers in Indonesia shone through
with many willingly desiring realization and showing interest in Sahaja Yoga and meditation.

After breakfast, we went to a local radio station where a slot was booked
to talk about Sahaja Yoga and self realization was given over the air.
It was a quick session but hopefully touched many seekers and non seekers alike.
After a nice lunch and a quick shop, that afternoon we had foot soak at Sanur Beach,
then we went back to the program’s venue,
ready for the second evening public program at Denpasar.
Once we arrived, yogis preformed a collective shoe beat on the nice grass
area to remove any obstacles that were affecting us
and the seekers in Indonesia.
There was a greater turn out this time with many also returning
from the previous night.
After some explanations on Sahaja Yoga, listening to Mother’s talk, and of course self realization, the newer and second timers were separated into two groups
where they could find out more and the others learn some simple clearing using the elements.

Denpasar, May 15th, 2014
The next day, we got up early again to do collective meditation in the park,
it attracted people’s attention and enlighten any willing souls wanting to try meditation.
The early morning freshness and the collective meditation drew the seekers in.
Many more flyers also were handed out,
then as the morning heated up, we went back to our hotel for breakfast.
This day was a bit of a rest from busy schedule and got a chance to enjoy
some shopping at art markets.
While most of the yogis enjoy the shopping at art markets, an ear ache suffered by a yogi,
had brought a few yogis to the local hospital accompanied were they found opportunity to give self realization to doctors, nurses and receptionists there.

After a nice lunch followed by refreshing collective foot-soak at Pettitenget Beach,
some of the Chinese yogis performed a small Bhoomi Devi Puja on the beach.
Again it’s time to go back venue for final night Denpasar program.
The numbers who attending program steadily increased over the 3 nights with some people
coming the whole 3 nights, some for 2 nights and still more new seekers.
After introduction, listening to Mother’s talk and self realization session,
the groups were again separated into first, second and third time
attending so they could all be taken little deeper in their knowledge and
build on previous experience.
Some were shown candle treatments as we talked with them to help with any concerns
or specific problems they may be suffering from.
To conclude the program, all the seekers and all the yogis
made a big circle in the restaurant’s garden,
sitting on the Mother earth and meditated together.
It was a beautiful moment of bliss and joy.
The seekers who attended these programs seemed very genuine and sincere in learning more about Sahaja Yoga with some of them
even already start meditating at home.
The quality and depth of the seekers in Bali was truly inspiring with a
great potential to establish more yogis there.
A data base of the names who attended was collected and will hopefully have further support via regular online meditation program and information packages in Indonesian language as well as an ongoing weekly program in Denpasar which they can attended.
May we support them through our bandhan and prayers
to remove all obstacles that hinder the opportunity for seekers
make time to meditate regularly and have collective guidance
to help go deeper in Sahaja Yoga.
Denpasar - Jogjakarta, May 16th, 2014
Next day we took our flight to Yogyakarta,
in the south area of central Java Island,
to a beautiful hotel in the city called
Inna Garuda Hotel, where we also had the public program that evening.
There was a concern the room they set up for us for the program was going to be too big,
as the smaller room previously booked was now not available,
so we had no option but to take free upgrade to larger room.
It all turning out to be part of Mother's divine plan.
Then we went out on the street to hand some flyers for the evening program and off to mall for lunch and afterwards some more browsing for the keen shoppers.
It’s a different feel to Bali here, less touristy with strong Muslim influence
but people are still courteous and friendly, as were all the places we visited in Indonesia.

In the afternoon,
we cleared the meeting room with camphor and incense,
then performed a lovely puja to
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi,
which was a tremendous boost to our vibrations and ability to be pure divine channels for the program.
Later that evening the seekers steadily started to arrive and kept coming
even after the program had started. More then 80 people came,
and with 19 yogis there, made the big hall seem a little more cosy now.
After listening to Mother’s talk with Indonesian subtitles, and self realization session,
the large group was split so yogis could interact more personally with individuals
and give guidance and vibrations to those who didn't feel it.
We finish off with some collective clearing and meditation,
and again an uplifting performance of Jogawa by all yogis.
We could see so many beautiful, joyful faces shining back at us as they
raise their hand and smile as they sang together with us.
This has left us feeling so high and wonderful as afterwards so many came
to graciously shake our hands, thank us and also take some photos with us.
Many lingered on enjoying the vibrations and and the feeling of collectivity, of one big family.
This was a truly amazing uplifting program,
the depth and quality of many of the people who attended gave us such a boost and feeling of joy that this is what our purpose really is.
As with Bali, a data base of contacts was collected to be included with
regular online meditation group in Indonesian and pass on related Sahaja Yoga information.
If any yogis has any experience or suggestions on ways to coordinate this
online group surely will be appreciated by Indonesian Yogis.

Jogjakarta - Bandungan, May 17th, 2014
Finally it was a long bus trip from Jogjakarta to Bandungan - Semarang,
in the North area of central Java Island.
On the way we stopped at a beautiful mountain area and a restaurant overlooking
lush green fields and coconut trees for lunch.
Also at these times, a few of the workers or people who come in contact with us when we were out and about, yogis would find it easy to spontaneously offer self realization to them.
We also stopped at an ancient Buddhist temple, the Borobudur Temple.
It was built in 9th century and It is the world’s largest Buddhist temple, as well as one of the greatest Buddhist monuments in the world.
The rain started pouring when we were ready to go up to the temple.
It was a nice, cool cleanse and gave us some lovely misty views on top of the temple.

Arriving at Bandungan, about 50km from Semarang city,
we stayed in mountain top retreat house,
with stunning views of surrounding countryside and mountains.
It was such a fitting place to finish off the tour as it helped our Sahasrara to feel even closer to the heavens. Was also nice staying collectively under one roof with yogis sharing one room and yoginis in other rooms.
Bandungan, May 17th 2014
The next day which is the last day of the tour, we met 10 yogis or so from
the Semarang collective, after a short explanation about havan,
we performed a candle havan together.
the Semarang collective, after a short explanation about havan,

Speaking afterwards with some of them, there seems to be few factors
limiting the yogis to growth there.
May we include in our prayers and attention that they may find the time to meditate at home regularly and also understand the need to do clearing on themselves when they need it.
And may they have more regular collective meditation programs where they can learn pure divine Sahaj knowledge and techniques.
They are also sincere and interested to learn more about Sahaja Yoga, but again the same limitations as there are not enough established local yogis
to help guiding them to their ascent, and also very few yogis that able to speak English well.
Hopefully with continue support and attention from Indonesian and International collectives,
and with online meditation and support,
they can experience the strength from a larger collective and grow faster.

In the afternoon,
we perform Shri Bhoomi Devi Puja
in the field near where we stayed.
Then, finally that night, to conclude the end of Realize Indonesia Tour 2014,
all yogis perform a beautiful Shri Mahalakshmi Puja.
This was to celebrate the blessing of Shri Mahalakshmi which is felt quite strong in Indonesia's land and which has blessed us through out this tour.
There is a story that Shri Sita dropped her sari at Bali island when being abducted by Ravana, and last year a Mother’s sari was also graciously brought to Bali
by yogis who participated in Realize Indonesia Tour 2013,
which was given by a yogini who stayed with Mother at Cabella and heard
about this Realize Indonesia Tour.
Thus Mother’s sari now lives in Bali helping vibrate and purify this land and
has followed us on tours and every programs these last two years.
After some gifts were presented and some heartfelt words of gratitude were exchanged, we could feel the love and bliss,
and feel closer to Mother’s heart
and to each other as one big beautiful family.
Indonesia is such a beautiful and diverse place, you can really feel the blessing of the land,
so lush and green. Indonesia’s blessing run deep in its nature and through many of the people who easily feel the divine's connection and enjoy the power of spirit.
It's even more special when sharing this with so many beautiful
brothers and sisters from around the world.
Special thanks to all the yogis whose devotion, attention, and motivation in supporting
Sahaja Yoga in Indonesia, has selflessly giving up their time and energy in organising many tours, materials, and making us feel cared for in every way.
The efforts in the vital work of building bridges and relationships within the Indonesia collective and the international yogis is handled with such diplomacy, love and care.
With all the love, compassion and humility in our hearts, our words unable
to express properly our gratitude of Mother’s love during this tour.
We only pray we may have pleased you in our actions which was only
through Your divine guidance.
It such a blessing and responsibility, for us living in Shri Ganesha’s land
with the power to support the Indonesian collective and be able to assist in some way.
May the path that Shri Ganesha clears for us allow continual openness,
deeper understanding, love and support between our dear close neighbours. ….!
Jai Shri Mataji..!
