Nirmala Srivastava
Nirmala Srivastava (née Nirmala Salve) (21 March 1923 – 23 February 2011), also known as Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, was the founder of Sahaja Yoga, a meditation technique and new religious movement.〔Judith Coney, ''Sahaja Yoga: Socializing Processes in a South Asian New Religious Movement'' (1999)〕 She claimed to have been born in a fully realised state and spent her life working for peace by developing and promoting a simple technique through which people can achieve their own self-realization.〔Wayne Dyer, "The Power of Intention", p56-57, Hay House, 2004〕 Shri Mataji never charged for her instruction in Sahaja Yoga which is now practised and taught for free in over 140 countries.
==Early life==
Nirmala Srivastava was born in Chindawara, Madhya Pradesh, India to Hindu father and a Christian mother Prasad and Cornelia Salve. Her parents named her Nirmala, which means "immaculate".〔H.P. Salve, ''My memoirs'' (New Delhi: LET, 2000), chapter 1〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/meaning_of_Nirmala.html )〕 She said that she was born self-realised.〔 Her father, a scholar of fourteen languages, translated the Koran into Marathi, and her mother was the first woman in India to receive an honours degree in mathematics.〔 Nirmala Srivastava descended from the royal Shalivahana/Satavahana dynasty.〔()〕 Former union minister N.K.P.Salve was her brother and lawyer Harish Salve is her nephew.The Salve surname is one of a number included in the Satavahana Maratha clan.
Nirmala Srivastava passed her childhood years in the family house in Nagpur.〔(Biography at shrimataji.net ) 〕 In her youth she stayed in the ashram of Mahatma Gandhi.〔〔()〕 Like her parents, she was involved with the struggle for Indian independence and, as a youth leader when a young woman, was jailed for participating in the Quit India Movement in 1942.〔〔H.P. Salve, ''My memoirs'' (New Delhi: LET, 2000), chapter 4〕〔(A message for one and all, ''The Hindu'', 7 April 2003 )〕 Taking responsibility for her younger siblings and living a spartan lifestyle during this period infused the feeling of self-sacrifice for the wider good.〔()〕 She studied at the Christian Medical College in Ludhiana and the Balakram Medical College in Lahore.〔
Shortly before India achieved independence in 1947, Shri Mataji married Chandrika Prasad Srivastava,〔 a high-ranking Indian civil servant who later served Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri as Joint Secretary, and was bestowed an honorary KCMG by Elizabeth II. They had two daughters, Kalpana Srivastava and Sadhana Varma.〔Rommel Varma; Sadhana Varma. ''Ascent to the Divine: Himalaya Kailasa-Manasarovar in Scripture, Art and Thought'' ISBN 978-2-88169-001-3〕 In 1961, Nirmala Srivastava launched the "Youth Society for Films" to infuse national, social and moral values in young people. She was also a member of the Central Board of Film Certification.〔
