What “Sahaja” Means

Sahaja means “born with you” in Sanskrit. This is why Sahaja Meditation is always taught without charge: We are all born with the potential to become our best selves — wise, generous, satisfied, and creative. Nothing needs to be added.

The state of Sahaja Meditation has been felt and enjoyed for thousands of years. It has been taught by masters in India as part of an ancient yogic tradition.

Mrs. Nirmala Srivastava, born in India in 1923, began to teach Sahaja Meditation in a simple and straightforward way in 1970. Mrs. Srivastava is referred to respectfully as “Shri Mataji.”
