Sahaja Yoga Alibaug is the Sahaja Yoga Meditation Centre Chalmala and Shree Mataji’s Temple and Ashram at Thal-Chalmala, Alibaug. The place is closely connected with Shree Mataji Nirmala Devi’s visits and pujas in Alibaug from 1986 to 1991.

H.H. Shree Mataji Nirmala Devi is the founder of Sahaja Yoga, a method for spontaneous self-realization and awakening of the Kundalini. She began Her work of spreading self-realization after opening the Sahasrara on 5 May 1970 and dedicated Her life to the spiritual emancipation of humanity.

The house at Thal-Chalmala was built for Shree Mataji. She first visited it after a public program near Pen in 1985, and later came to Alibaug every year from 1986 to 1991, where pujas were performed as part of the India tour.

Shree Mahadevi Puja on 21 December 1986, Shree Devi Puja on 13 December 1987, Shree Devi Puja on 30 December 1988, Puja on 17 December 1989, and Shree Lakshmi Puja on 29 December 1991.
