H. H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Pratishthan Pune
Shri Mataji's sacred residence in Pune, now a place for darshan, meditation, Sahaja Yoga learning, cultural offerings, and collective remembrance.
January 08, 1986
Her Holiness Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi lived in Pratishthan from 1986 till 2010. Her residence, "Pratishthan", was named after the capital of her ancestors, the Shalivahanas, presently called Paithan.
Pratishthan was gifted to H. H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Sahaja Yoga Trust, the National Trust, on 08 December 2010. The H. H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Museum at Pratishthan Pune was established on 19 July 2015 in memory of the beloved Mother.
The house was personally designed by Shri Mataji to express vibrations through matter. Every floor, room, staircase, garden, and gallery carries a devotional meaning for Sahaja Yogis visiting the museum.

Founder of Sahaja Yoga
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi was born on March 21, 1923 in Chhindwara, India, into the Salve family, descendants of the Shalivahana dynasty. She later became known across the world as the revered Mother who brought Sahaja Yoga meditation to seekers.
Read MoreHer parents, Prasad and Cornelia Salve, were active in India's freedom movement. Shri Mataji spent time in Mahatma Gandhi's ashram as a child, where her wisdom and spiritual depth were recognized from a young age.
On 5 May 1970, at Nargol, Shri Mataji discovered the process of en-masse Self Realisation. Sahaja means spontaneous, and Yoga means union with the Self.
From 1970 onward, Shri Mataji travelled widely, sharing Sahaja Yoga meditation and establishing centers in many countries. Her work emphasized direct experience, inner transformation, and free access to spiritual knowledge.
Self Realisation
Shri Mataji used the ancient process of awakening the Kundalini as the foundation of Sahaja Yoga Meditation. She discovered a spontaneous method to awaken this inner spiritual energy without payment, previous spiritual practice, or formal membership.
When awakened, the Kundalini passes upward through the subtle system and can be felt as a cool breeze above the head and on the palms. Meditation helps restore balance, reduce stress, and bring thoughtless awareness.
