Meta Modern Era by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi is a loving, compelling and powerful book that introduces a tangible spiritual breakthrough for the 21st century — spontaneous Self Realization through Sahaja Yoga meditation — which opens a new dimension in human awareness. Written by Nobel Peace Prize nominee and one of the greatest voices on spirituality, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, the book offers stunningly deep insights on the crises of our modern times and the solutions to their root problems. From the preface to Meta Modern Era "Actually I did not want to write a book of this kind. I am a person who is in complete joy of Divinity. There is the all-pervading joy of Divine love and I wanted everyone to enjoy it. Specially in the West I have seen that there are many seekers of absolute Truth. There are many scientists who have written voluminous books about consciousness, about awareness. One can give a list of them. But all these books really weary you completely, because they do not emit any knowledge of the ultimate truth. I don't want to criticize them; after all whatever they are doing constitutes honest research. But why not also give a chance to this new discovery which is being made? Why not humble down to see what is beyond this mind which gives you all this artificial intelligence? It is extremely difficult for me to write about the problems of Western life. It is like an enormous tree which has grown outside. How to be pushed down now to the roots and made to grow inside. It is only by going deep inside that we can find out what the problems of Western civilization are which have kept a Western mind away from truth."

  • Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2004
    At a time when words like "postmodernism", "millennium" and "globalization" are indiscriminately peppered about to sell everything from wristwatches to television shows, when terms such as "paradigm shift", "new age" and "zeitgeist" are supplied wholesale as talking points in our journey into a unknown future, H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi writes as a breath of fresh air, blowing away cobwebs of conception about who we think we are.
    In her preface, Shri Mataji admits the difficulties of writing about the Western World. It is like an enormous tree, she says, which has grown with tremendous outward flourishes, but has no roots. The Western mind has been kept away from the truth by all our society's superficialities and distractions. Our rational intellects have not allowed us to grasp the simple and obvious.
    The present era is a slippery time of shifting values. The sands in which we seek to establish a footing come and go - each fad, in its turn, scarring the human psyche. The balance that must be restored to our lives will not be established through the accumulation of money, but in the assumption of responsibility - the responsibility to set things right.
    The model that Shri Mataji envisions is one of innate human culture, of one world with roots that reach deep into our collective, global past. And she offers a solution for attaining that stage, a transformation in human awareness which is now possible for every human being. "A person who can say with authority what is absolutely right or absolutely wrong has to be an enlightened person.... It is beyond the normal limitations of the human to say something about truth so emphatically. And if such a person not only announces but manifests that truth as reality and expresses it in his life and work, then one should after all pay serious attention to such a personality. Such a person is a saint, or a seer, a greatly evolved soul, whose unique individuality is free of all taints of egoism and conditionings. He is, we might say, meta-modern and does not care for the limitations of rational understanding, the norms imposed by the cult of money or the power orientations of fads and fashions in modern times".
    Like the film of the same name, we are caught in modern times like Charlie Chaplin's tramp, repeatedly and mechanically tightening the widgets on the conveyor belt long after the machines have stopped running.
    The meta modern man or woman does not do things out of dull habit. They do not serve the machines, the economy, the fad or fashions. "Through his lifetime he will not do anything that jars or that is considered sinful or anything that goes against human benevolence. Nor will he create destructive ideas in the minds of the people. On the contrary, whatever he does is constructive and compassionate and creates peace over his entire area of activity. Because it serves the interests of a fuller and more perfect life and promotes human ascent, his work is of an eternal and absolute nature".
    Most writers who have authored books about the new millennium have a concern in the territory they have staked out. They are part of it, writing from within the animal they are trying to dissect.
    Shri Mataji writes from beyond the limits of our culture. As an Indian, she knows the streams of Eastern culture, but as a Christian-born wife of a former United Nations diplomat and as a long time resident of Britain and Italy, she knows the foibles, the ambitions, the backwaters of our culture. As a woman of the spirit, she is beyond and above both worlds. And, as a mother, she cares deeply about what is happening to us. She does not only observe and criticize. She has compassion. And she has a solution.
    She writes of the knowledge of a yet unawakened energy of extraordinary potential within each of us. She tells us in her book of the language of chakras and energies. She describes the power of pure knowledge called as "kundalini".
    This may sound like an ancient and secret wisdom, but it is only secret because we have kept it away from ourselves. In our pursuit of the material and the mundane, we have been too busy to listen to our inner self, and so our roots have withered.
    "Western civilisation is like a very big tree which has outgrown its own size. But one has to find the roots. If the roots are in India, or any other country, why do we not accept the knowledge of the roots. A tree cannot exist without roots and roots have no meaning unless they nourish the trees which are about to fall."
    Meta Modern Era is a groundbreaking book not just to read - but most importantly to experience. And beyond that, it offers a tangible solution to our problems by opening our awareness to our yet unexplored inner potential.

    META MODERN ERA

    In a world of seemingly unsurmountable problems, one begins to wonder why there is so much turmoil and why there are so many unhappy children and sick people in this world? Where are we going? With such extreme imbalances now occurring on the earth and within the human beings, we must ask ourselves. "What are we doing to ourselves and to the Mother Earth?" These may sound like very conventional questions. Yet they are extremely important questions. There are many reasons for us to worry. There are no easy and quick solutions to the huge problems that exist in almost every country throughout the world nowadays. Most people will respond to this statement in this manner; "Why worry and why seek any solution at all? The world has always had problems so why worry now? The world has always been like this and it will remain like this?

    But the world has not always been like this. Let us ask ourselves this question, "Why is the rate of heart attacks so high now compared to fifty years ago? This is also true for cancer, diabtete and many other diseases. We have had times of peace and posperity. There have been times in history when people lived tranquil lives. Fifty years ago we did not have to worry about our children carrying guns to school or being killed by one. We did not have to worry that they would be sexually assaulted by parents, teachers, or even their own peers. These things did exist. But never on the level that it exists today. Never has the world been in such a dangerous situation as it is today. The survival of the earth and its inhabitants are at stake. Can we find solutions to these problems in religion? Evidently not. Religions have been with us for thousands of years and we still the problems. Can we find peace through the United Nations? Evidently not. The scandals that are now occurring within this organization can answer that question. Can we find it in psychiatrists and mental health workers? Evidently not. Otherwise with the advent of pyschiatry we would have all become healthy human beings.

    Readers, pay attention! In the book "Meta Modern Era," effective solutions to the ever mounting problems of modern societies are proposed by its author, Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. They are practical solutions that have already been proven of their effectiveness in the daily lives of the followers of the author. People who practice Sahaja Yoga Meditation, as taught by the author, have overcome drugs, smoking, emotional and physical diseases. Results of their many studies and interviews with people who practice this yoga are now proving that this yoga is helping many human beings to get back into a balanced and peaceful state again. Her Holiness states that if human beings can achieve their self-realization through the awakening of the Kundalini energy, their problems can be solved. She states that in order to solve our problems, "we must become the Spirit." Not only does she speak about becoming the Spirit. She also give the reader the techniques on how to awaken it. Kundalini energy, the primordial Mother power within the individual, is awakened through her techniques. One achieves the connection and starts to experience the vibrations of the all-pervading power of this "Spirit."

    I found this book to be very different from all other books that I have read on the subject of world and individual transformation. It is a unique book that presents solutions that are simple to practice and do not involve money. The author, very well known in India and in other countries, is considered a great spiritual master of the Kundalini. In reading about her, I learned that she has started schools, a music academy, an institution for poor, abused women, especially those of the Muslim faith. Studies show that her followers are all leading lives free of alcohol, drugs, and tobacco. The schools that she has founded have never had any form of violence, which is something quite rare nowadays. Can it be that the teachings presented in "Meta Modern Era"are the possible the solutions that can help the world overcome all these dangerous problems and the situation it is now facing?

    My opinion is 100% yes. I say this not only because the book presented a unique and new approach to world transformation, an approach that is a simple one to practice. But I found the author and everything presented in this book to be very a very sincere effort to help the world. It is a book that comes from the heart. The author's great concerns for global problems and her awareness of the problems of the individual are deep and penetrating. Nowadays most books written with the themes of transformation and self-imporvement are superficial and merely an effort to profit from the books.

    I give "Meta Modern Era" the highest of ratings- ***** It is an important book that everyone should read if they are truly concerned with what is happening in the world today. Politicians, world leaders, and each individual wishing for great positive changes on this earth not only will learn and gain much from this book. But they will experience what Her Holiness is attempting to tell the world. That anyone wishing his or her transformation can achieve self-realization now! Read "Meta Modern Era" and awaken your Kundalini! I did!
