1) The creation of the World Council for the Advancement of Sahaja Yoga (WCASY) Society cannot be improved or transformed without first improving or transforming its members. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Srivastava, Founder of Sahaja Yoga, has dedicated Her life to the cause of the spiritual empowerment of all those who seek Self-enhancement and Spiritual Evolution. The WCASY, the Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Sahaja Yoga World Foundation and the World Centre exist to propagate and continue Her great work. These three pillars are fully dedicated to promoting, spreading and perpetuating the teachings and message of the global spiritual work of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. These institutions carry out their mission by sustaining the inner science and practice of Sahaja Yoga worldwide, through special events (such as conferences and seminars), knowledge management (such as communication material and skills), institutional developments (such as advancements in education, health and ecologically sustainable practices), creation of centers and places of worship and meditation (such as ashrams, temples and public centers), and through support to the financial, legal and research needs of the Sahaja Yoga collectivity. The World Council discharges its mandate as homage to its Teacher and as a service to the world collective. With a view to advancing the collective awareness of all of its members in an atmosphere of mutual support and understanding, the World Council abides by the spirit of two resolutions embodying fundamental principles that all prospective members of the World Council are expected to agree to: 8

1) The creation of the World Council for the Advancement of Sahaja Yoga (WCASY) Manifestation of the Knowledge The World Council recognizes that the knowledge of Sahaja Yoga is a living knowledge carried, developed and manifested by each yogini and yogi who truly follows the guidance of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi through his or her own inner enlightenment. To facilitate and sustain the spreading and the benefits of this spiritual experience, the World Council stands for the faithful custody and active promotion of the body of teachings of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, as enshrined in speeches, written texts and discourses contained in print, audio and video formats. Spiritual and Cultural Integration En masse Self-realization is now possible for the first time by the teachings and methods of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, and is a happening of enormous historical significance in the evolution of world spirituality. The World Council acknowledges that the experience of Self-realization that is now an accessible reality through Sahaja Yoga, is indeed at the core of the messages of the great religions of mankind. The World Council thus understands its responsibility to be a driving and binding force for a new understanding and tolerance among diverse cultures, religions and civilizations. Governance Under the chairmanship of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, the World Council is responsible for providing leadership, decisions and advice in all institutional and governance aspects concerning the Sahaja Yoga collectivity as a whole. The World Council will collaborate with national collectivities in the appointment of their national leadership committees. It is also the final arbiter in the unlikely event that dissenting views on matters of importance cannot be settled at the national level. Through its Committees, task forces and action programs, the World Council will address global 9 matters that impact the world collective and will advance related projects and initiatives.

1) The creation of the World Council for the Advancement of Sahaja Yoga (WCASY) B – The Resolution for the Humble Acceptance of Responsibility Ø The formation of the World Council for the Advancement of Sahaja Yoga (WCASY) took place on November 20 th, 2003 at the residence of Shri Mataji in Los Angeles. Shri Mataji clearly affirmed that the document She would sign later in 2004 was the pure expression of Her Will and Desire. Ø Sahaja Yoga is a spiritual movement inspired by the sincerity and the devotion of all the members of the WCASY to the Person and Legacy of the Maha Avatar Adi Shakti Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. Ø The members of the WCASY feel that it is their responsibility to provide leadership, guidance and decisions on all institutional and governance aspects, as well as matters that impact the world collective. They will formulate and adopt its code of conduct and rules of procedure to carry out its responsibilities in a Sahaja way following the vibrations of divine love, the Paramchaitanya. 10

1) The creation of the World Council for the Advancement of Sahaja Yoga (WCASY) C – The Resolution of Commitment to Collective Leadership Ø Collective consciousness is the fundamental principle of Sahaja existence, by which the Paramchaitanya communicates Her Divine Message. In this perspective, the WCASY is fully aware that the need for legislation is minimal, as knowledge and guidance in Sahaja Yoga is vested in the teachings of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi that are contained in the written, audio and video records of Her lectures. Ø The leadership institution in Sahaja Yoga, including the membership of the WCASY is not considered as a spiritual hierarchy, but as an enabling and empowering force of spiritual happening. Ø Therefore, through an official RESOLUTION, the members of the WCASY commit to the Sahaja principle of collective decision-making, with at least 75% majority agreement, by either direct consultation or by means of committees, in each of which there must be at least a minimum of three members in keeping with the collective process. 11

5) Integrating and projecting the Vision of Shri Mataji A – The relationship between the WCASY and Sahaja Yoga § The WCASY is not and will not be a “substitution entity”, overshadowing the in depth Sahaja work of all national collectives § The WCASY’s desire and intention is to create, facilitate and deepen the boundaries of love with the world sangha, by delivering guidance and spiritual leadership § This relationship is being built on mutual respect and permanent valorization of his brother and her sister 40

5) Integrating and projecting the Vision of Shri Mataji B – The first and ultimate goals of the WCASY § The first goal of the WCASY is to achieve unity among its 31 members and to create a culture of inner understanding, with the purpose of deepening loyalty, fidelity and reciprocal respect among all its member § The WCASY will therefore take decisions in a spirit of mutual consultation, seeking spiritual unanimity and balanced consensus § The ultimate goal of the WCASY is to fulfill Shri Mataji’s Vision to build a new society of love and compassion on this earth. 41

Let our vibrations move in such oneness that they will have the same shape, expand in the same direction and swing like the same gentle wave of love. 43

Let us look at the same direction, feel and breeze the same way, pray and sing the same way, adore and worship in total union 44

Let our heart contemplate the quintessence of Divine Beauty, filling It with the Grace of Her face and the Love of Her eyes 45

Let our vibrations move in such oneness that they will have the same shape, expand in the same direction and swing like the same gentle wave of love. 46

CONCLUSION WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS NOT SO MUCH THE RESULTS THAT WE CAN ACHIEVE WITHIN THE WCASY BUT ABOVE ALL THE INTENSITY OF THE LOVE THAT WE CAN BRING INTO ITS NASCENT BODY AND THE FEELING OF DIVINE UNION THAT WE CAN TRIGGER. 47

CONCLUSION On June 14 th, 2004, Shri Mataji gave a clear mandate to the WCASY, and consequently to the whole world collective of Sahaja Yoga to perpetuate Her Divine Message of love an compassion. We have to respond to Her Divine Wish, we have to follow Her Divine Request of inner redemption and transformation. In this light, it is necessary that the WCASY stands on his own feet, develops autonomy and does not express any fears in following its course, in complete consultation and inspiration (through its vibratory 48 awareness) with the Divine Instructions of the Adi Shakti.
