| Words According to Sahaja YogaWhen I was still completely controlled by Sahaja Yoga, I undertook a project to create a dictionary of terms used in the cult. I was careful to cite references, which were usually taken from speeches by Mrs. Srivastava (Shri Mataji) as published in the cult's magazine, Nirmala Yoga. Here is the text of that project, converted to HTML. Keep in mind that at the time this was created, I was a true believer. So critical thinking is left up to the reader. Some of this may be useful to people investigating Sahaja Yoga, its practices, and the dire effects on the many cult followers.
