Self-Realization is the awakening of the Kundalini energy — a subtle, dormant spiritual power located at the base of the spine. When awakened, this energy gently rises through the system of inner energy centers, or chakras, ultimately connecting us with the all-pervading divine energy. This connection is what the word “yoga” truly means: union.

In Sahaja Yoga, Self-Realization is not just a concept — it is a direct experience. It’s seen as the next step in human evolution, allowing us to move beyond mental activity into a deeper state of awareness and inner balance.
When the Kundalini rises and passes through the chakras, it naturally purifies and balances them. As a result, we begin to experience a profound inner peace and mental silence, a state known as thoughtless awareness — pure consciousness without the constant flow of thoughts. This state supports emotional clarity, physical well-being, and spiritual growth.
A Revolutionary Inner Discovery
The power of Self-Realization lies in its simplicity and accessibility. It’s a living process — natural, spontaneous, and transformative. You don’t need to pay or sign up for anything; all you need is a sincere and pure desire to grow and evolve within.
As Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, the founder of Sahaja Yoga, beautifully explained:
…now, one must realize that you cannot pay for your evolution, you cannot pay. It’s very simple to understand. If you pay to this flower will it become a fruit? It’s a living process for which we cannot pay, it doesn’t understand money.
Shri Mataji discovered the possibility of giving Self-Realization en masse in 1970, making this profound transformation available to everyone around the world.
In today’s world, our minds are often filled with thoughts, not always our own, but influenced by media, books, and social interactions. These borrowed ideas cloud our ability to perceive the truth clearly. Self-Realization helps to quiet this noise and reconnect us with our inner self — with what is real, original, and eternal within.
Self-Realization is every person’s birthright. It’s a personal journey, and the first step is desire — the sincere wish to rise, to grow, and to know your true self. Each of us has the freedom of choice: to evolve or to remain where we are. That freedom is sacred.
You can experience your own Self-Realization right now by watching this guided video: “Self-Realization Protocol with Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi”:
After following the protocol, you may begin to feel cool vibrations on your hands or above your head — a sign that the Kundalini has awakened and your connection is established.
This new awareness can stay with you always — subtle, real, and deeply transformative.
