<\/p>\nShri Mataji’s 1991 Australian Easter Puja Chair<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Shri Mataji – Easter Puja and Seminar Bundilla Scout Camp, near Sydney March 1991<\/em><\/p>\n In 1991, when HH Shri Mataji came to Australia, the Land of the Mooladhara Chakra, the seat of innocence, the Sahaja Yogis decided to make a chair for Her. It was used at the Easter Puja in Sydney that year, at which Shri Mataji talked about purity, morality and children.<\/p>\n The work involved in constructing the chair involved a carpenter, those who could do upholstery and sewing, and quite a few painters to provide the decoration – all working together in complete harmony and unison. There was a rough design, but things evolved and improved as various yogis contributed their skills and inspiration.<\/p>\n We wanted to make the chair bright and colourful, expressing the child-like quality Shri Ganesha, and it spontaneously turned out that the colours were those of all the chakras.<\/p>\n The motifs were elephants, representing Shri Ganesha, and peacocks, the vehicle of Shri Kartikeya, for the right side aspect of the Mooladhara Chakra. Also \u2018paisley\u2019 motifs which are symbolic of the Shakti, the feminine aspect of the Divine. At the top we fixed a sandalwood figure of Shri Ganesha, within a golden, four-petalled Mooladhara Chakra. The image of Shri Ganesha was anointed with auspicious red kumkum paste and fragrant sandalwood oil.<\/p>\n Shri Mataji expressed interest in the chair, and was very pleased to know that it had been made by Her children, working collectively.<\/p>\n Jai Shri Mataji!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
