Although Sahaja Yoga bills itself as "a unique method of meditation," there is very little about it that is unique. It is a new religious movement and goddess worshipping cult that bases its beliefs on an experience called Self Realization (Kundalini awakening) that Sahaja Yogis believe occurs within each human being.

Sahaja Yoga cult members say they can actually feel "the all pervading divine power" as a cool breeze. They believe this feeling of coolness is an indication that they have achieved a connection to God. Cult members also believe God is an elderly Indian housewife named Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.
