WELCOME Irish Band Musicians

VILAMBA, an Irish Band of six folk/traditional musicians from Italy, will be in India from 22nd December 2017

to 15th January 2018. VILAMBA means “the space between thoughts” in Sanskrit, suggests the depth of Indian spirituality and culture as well as the silence of Sahaja yoga meditation. The songs are about seeking and questioning one’s inner direction. They are mostly in English, reflecting the beautiful poetry of this rich language. The music is very much Gaelic in its inspiration, communicating the joy of Irish and Scottish traditional music that is often expressed by spontaneous dancing at the concerts. Some of the songs are slower and quite meditative and help to create an atmosphere in which it is quite natural to do a self-realization exercise in the middle of a performance.

Founded in Cabella Ligure, Italy in 2010, the Irish Band has recorded and released five Albums. (Visit http://vilamba.weebly.com for more info). It has performed in Italy and also in many European countries, both for Sahaja collectives and for the general public. This Irish Band will also be joined by some prominent Indian musicians.

The main objective of the VILAMBA team is to give self-realisation (S.R.) to seekers through divine music and devotional songs. This musical extravaganza of the Band has been organised by Indian Yuvashakti to fulfil Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi’s vision of spreading the message of love across India. The programs have been finalised in consultation with concerned authorities at 15 major

cities in India, that is Mumbai, Nargol, Pune, Ganapatipule, Goa, Chennai, Hyderabad, Indore, Ahmedabad, Roorkee, Dehra Dun, Delhi NCR.

The fully transformed, hardworking, Sahaja Yoga Youth, who achieved Self-Realisation and thoughtless awareness through Sahaja Yoga Meditation and blessings of Shri Mataji have taken the responsibility to organise 30 Meditation & Self-Realisation programs in 15 cities, at various

places, schools, colleges, banks, even at multinational companies for corporate executives. These youths together are hosting the musicians programs from arrival till departure.

Taking note of Shri Mataji’s advice that “Sahaja yoga has evolved for the benefit of whole world”, Sahaja meditation practitioners in India have been organising Self-Realisation programs continuously at various locations. Teams of Sahaja yogis visited Andamans and Nepal recently for S.R. programs. The local Sahaja yogis (SYs) organise S.R. programs in their cities

and around regularly. Some of the recently held programs are at Palwal (Haryana), Ekadkala village nearby Haridwar (Uttarkhand), Gaziabad, (U.P), Gadchiroli, Sindhudurg (Maharashtra) and programs are scheduled at Silchar in North East and Ludhiana in Punjab in the next two months. The purpose of these programs are to give self-realisation to as many individuals as possible so that they are connected to the divine energy through their Sahasrar.

The Youth organisers from Gurugram, Delhi, Pune, Mumbai, Hyderabad and other metros are in the process of another big event in March 2018. They feel that their biggest Gift of Love to Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi on the occasion of HER 95TH Birthday, would be the Maha-India-Tour proposed from 18 - 30, March 2018, for which thousands of Sahaja yogis from various countries are expected to participate in the celebration of Shri Mataji’s Birthday on March 21 along with Indian SYs and also participate in Self-Realisation programs for seekers.

Four Teams of these youngsters have been formed with divine names to receive and assist them at airports, such as HANUMANA Team, at Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi, GANESHA Team at Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International airport at Mumbai, KARTHIKEYA Team at Netaji Subhaschandra International Airport, Kolkata and BHAIRAVA Team at Chennai International airport Chennai and all teams will assist them in their journey to various places.
