In this 2nd series of video interviews, we interview Niranjana to find out about her journey since she knew about Kosmic Fusion and her experiences in the past few years with Sree Maa.
Niranjana was born in a Jain family in India, despite being one of the youngest Faculty Niranjana went through the journey of a seeker by exploring Vedic literature, Upanishads, Art of Living etc. As they say, seekers journey goes into never ending spiral till the moment they find out the ultimate – Niranjanas’ story dwells on similar lines.
In this interview Niranjana shares about her days as a seeker and following one of the most renowned Guru and what she found unique about Sree Maa. We faculties loved making this video and believe you will be equally delighted to watch it.
How do you know Sree Maa?
Niranjana: You know Ekta, I never knew Sree Maa from before. I was looking for something because I was already on the spiritual path, I always knew there was something missing, there was something more that I have not been able to find. I was given Kosmic Fusion name from a colleague of mine.
I checked the (Kosmic Fusion) website which I could not understand. I still had this calling, that I should do the workshop. Cutting long story short, I ended up doing the 5D++ Awakenin and Transformation workshop in the comfort of my own house by listening to a meditative tape for 7 days, this is in December 2011.
I saw extreme and profound shift in my state of being, there was this peace, calm and completeness that I was looking for. There were no thoughts in my mind for next 3 weeks. That’s what prompted me to go and meet the Founders who could do this afar and whom I never met. That is how in January 2012, I met Sree Maa.
You have known Sree Maa for quite a few years. What do you think of Sree Maa?
Niranjana: Yes 6 1/2 to 7 Years now. This is a question which is very difficult to express in few words. When I first met Sree Maa, I instantly felt like I have come home. Sree Maa has been most welcoming. I (usually) have lots of questions and Sree Maa answered those questions very patiently & honestly.
If there was something I needed to look at, it was put across very gently but yet the truth was told. It wasn’t a fluffy version that was given to me. I have always been welcomed by Sree Maa whether it is at their home or workshop, very warm and compassionate.
This is the feeling of a bond that I can’t explain in words. It may not be a friend, a teacher or my mother, it’s just a bond that maybe doesn’t have a word to describe at its best.
What difference has Sree Maa Shri Ji made in your life?
Niranjana: In the last 5 to 6 years, it has been a upward journey on my spiritual path. Anything that was negative in my life, that I personally felt negative has automatically receded. I stay in a very neutral zone, thanks to the gift of Quantum Vortex Scalar-Wave Photon Pulse that Sree Maa gifted.
More than that, Sree Maa as a person is like a bond, to put into words it’s like my mentor, my teacher, my friend, a shoulder on which I can cry on… all this rolled into one, that would best describe Sree Maa.
Sree Maa Shri Ji were like culmination of my own prayer, to my first Guru. I started with Transcendental meditation after college in 2003/4. I started reading the Vedic scriptures like the Patanjali Yoga sutras, Gita etc. Not deep study but just to understand, to pick up nuances in life, what the Atma is all about, Why am I here. All this was between 2008 to 2011.
Yet there was this feeling that something amiss. At one moment of total surrender in Turiya Awastha, I asked… I don’t know what it is, please come into my life. At that time Sri Sri Ravishankar was my Guru, so I said please send whatever is missing and I will trust you…. and then Sree Maa Shri Ji came into my life.
Did Sree Maa Shri Ji’s teachings remain consistent or did they change over period of time?
Niranjana: No, they have been very consistent. In fact when I first heard Sree Maa talking, I knew this was all from Sanatan Dharm because I already had a background through Patanjali Yogasutra, Keen Upanishad, Katho Upanishad (I was just exploring them).
The minute that came, I just knew the teachings were coming from Sanatan Dharm from the start. I have never seen the teachings shift at all.
Sree Maas most basic teaching given out was to be the non-doer, to constantly step back, that teaching has never shifted. After that it was all built-up (on the foundation).
Sree Maa has told in those initial days itself that Sree Maa would be using the Bhagwadgita as the base of advanced studies and Sree Maa has stuck by that. I have never seen any shifts in any kind of teachings. It wasn’t a fluff that something was taken from here and there.
Do you think, Sree Maa’s teachings are very transparent and direct or Sree Maa withholds any information?
Niranjana: I have found Sree Maa Shri Ji’s teachings very direct and transparent. I have never found Sree Maa Shri Ji fluffing around from one book to another. I have never seen Sree Maa refer a book.
In my eyes, Sree Maa is a highly elevated Soul who is able to bring such profound shifts in me. It was always done in complete silence, when I did the Awakenin and Transformation workshop, it was my curiosity that led me to Sree Maa.
When I asked questions and the kind of answers I received, which is so beautiful and made sense to my inner being that prompted me to go further with the courses which Sree Maa was offering.
For me the teaching style has been very transparent and direct. It was full of humour. Sree Maa gauged the energy in the room, if the energy was little too heavy, Sree Maa would bring beautiful sense of humour that would lighten up the air in the environment. When seriousness was needed, it was there.
Sree Maa just tunes in with inner core, I feel. Even if I didnt voiced or expressed something, Sree Maa would give an answer which just resonates with my Soul. It can even happen in a room full of people, it’s not that I have to be personally in front of Sree Maa’s presence to get that kind of bond.
Even when we were at the retreats when we were going through intense meditations, Sree Maa would just know if something was coming up or emotionally something was going to be released.
Sree Maa just tunes into the Soul, very intuitive.
Do you think there will be people who would have resistance to very direct and open way of talking of Sree Maa Shri Ji?
Niranjana: That is very much possible and I do believe so. If you are not willing to look at the layers of your own ego then it might offend the “ego”. It depends on what level you are asking me this question. “Are you asking me when you meet people in general” or “you are referring to any workshop”.
Every time I have gone out with Sree Maa or seen interacting with others, Sree Maa is very polite and would barely interact with anyone. If you listen to any of the discourse of Sree Maa and because Sree Maa is talking about the Absolute Truth, it could conflict with certain belief systems that are prevalent in the world.
If a person is not open enough to be able to even listen, that there could be something more deeper than what they already know, they could get stirred.
Do you think Sree Maa could be prone to attack due to the nature of Sree Maa’s teachings?
Niranjana: Yes, I do think that is a possibility because the power of the work that Sree Maa is bringing in, has a lot of potentials to liberate a lot of Souls from the kind of belief systems (Maya), in which they have meshed up into, so it is possible they could attack Sree Maa.
Do you feel Sree Maa Shri Ji indoctrinated you or imposed any belief systems on you?
Niranjana: I have never been forced into believing that I didn’t want to believe. On the contrary, I have been encouraged to do research whatever Sree Maa was saying. Ask other people, teachers, do you own research online and that is what I have done.
At no point in time I was forced to accepting anything, if there was something that I didn’t understand, I had questioned. Even if I didn’t understand the concept, I have told “Sree Maa I didn’t understand”, it was never forced.
Sree Maa once said…
“Take it slow, where is the rush? The knowledge is only deep inside you, I’m only awakening you”.
Even if you sit in silence and tune in with the most benevolent gift, the Quantum Vortex Scalar-Wave Photon Pulse that Sree Maa Shri Ji have gifted, the answers will come from within, because my mind is in a chatter, I’m a person like that.
I’m constantly researching and want answers, I end up asking questions but the gift is already been given. Even if I tune in silence, I will have answers within my Soul.
It is very very freeing, the work Sree Maa has offered because there is no need for an external teacher. From what I have realized there is no need for the middleman in between.
It is just an experience between my me, my Atma and my Paramatma via the Quantum Vortex Scalar-Wave Photon Pulse.
How was your experience in Facilitators in Training Programme?
Niranjana: My personal experience was beautiful. It started with the 2013, FiT trial intake in which I wasn’t able to attend. As Sree Maa’s grace and compassion always flows, Sree Maa just gave me the videos to listen to them and I was just accepted to volunteer.
There were always discourses which were beautiful and mind opening. It brought me out of certain way of thinking. With so many modalities and teachings mushrooming everywhere, Sree Maa’s teachings gave me a sense of direction.
The truth that was being shared resonated with my core. I approached Sree Maa Shri Ji to be a volunteer, there was nothing to be done except complete silence, a person can be awakening to True Atma.
As part of the Facilitator in Training for others, it was more of a training ground for me to learn about my “self”. I learnt that phenomenally with practical experience that I had at the expos and events.
As I was working with others, I also realized how egos react and how important it was (that Sree Maa always repeated) to just “Step Back” and be the “Non Doer” and everything will flow. It has been an experience I have come to realize myself.
The layers of ego hidden were even hidden in my awareness as well, this is something I had to reflect on and even that process was beautiful. Of course there were days when I went really low, there were days when my own muck was coming out.
Nobody wants to see your own ugly face, but if you are bold enough and really really ready to move towards your Atma and live at the level of your Atma then FiT training that Sree Maa Shri Ji offered was an excellent platform.
Overall my experience was fantastic. The only time when it became dirty was with the meddling of Narcissists in the group. I was very upset by the games that were being played, the confusion that was created unnecessarily and at one point in time, the whole mission for which I joined Kosmic Fusion was complete side tracked and it became all about the ego, the personality when Sree Maa Shri Ji had clearly said that your mental make up is your own responsibility, so I did experience my own anger.
I had come with a very firm focus of looking at my Atma but Sree Maa still gave me what I needed. I have learnt that discernment is very much needed on this planet. Even at the level of Atma, Discernment is the key. I have learnt it during my FiT training.
You said, Sree Maa Shri Ji is your Guru. Can you share what motivates you to take Sree Maa Shri Ji as your Guru?
Niranjana: This was a very beautiful experience for me. I took Sri Sri Ravishankar as my Guru, due to his Kriya and his teachings were really helpful but like I said there was something missing and I came to Kosmic Fusion.
The final culmination of accepting Sree Maa Shri Ji as my Guru had come in the 2015 retreat when we were all graced with beautiful initiation called the Guru Mantra Initiation. It was such a profound experience for me.
I had already done Seh Samadhi meditation with Sri Sri Ravishankar and I felt somewhere I was betraying him and letting him go because I came across something far more advanced. There was this part in me which didn’t let him go.
Sree Maa had beautifully said…
“You take a call, you accept if you accept, it’s an experience at the end of the day”.
In complete silence when that Guru Mantra Initiation happened I had tears. It just came naturally, the bond that I felt at that time, I just knew it from inside that this is the path and Sree Maa is my Guru who will lead me far ahead in my spiritual journey that I had come across so far.
Any other way Sree Maa has touched your life?
Niranjana: Ekta it really depends which level are you asking me, which aspect of my life it has not touched.
At Physical level I feel so much more healthier, I had sever case of hyper thyroid which is under control.
If you talk about emotional level, fantastic healing is what I have experienced. In terms of my personal relationships, beautiful bonding has happened “again” with my parents. There was a point in time where we had all drifted away, like there was a lot of misunderstanding. My parents felt they did everything for me and I felt they were not giving me my space that I needed but the minute I did my workshop, that was the first thing I experienced that the rift I was experiencing with my parents started to melt down.
Both my parents have done the 5D++ Awakenin Transformation workshop as well, I was so fortunate that my Mom, Dad and my brother did the workshop at the same time.
When my brother got married 2 years back, 5D++ Awakenin Transformation workshop was the gift to my sister-in-law.
