2020 Celebrating Navarātri Festival: “Help us to fight our negativity within us. Give us Your tiger so that we fight, give us Your lion so we fight.”
"Now what happens actually when you project this Pūjā? It has been found out, and now as I am telling you, that first, you have to awaken within you the Deities that are still asleep, by worshiping them. But as these Deities, Primordial Deities, are with Me, you worship Me, and every Deity in Me is awakened, by which your Deities are awakened. So first, your vibrations must improve, to receive. If the reception is not good what’s the use of any Pūjā or projection? So first of all we, sort of, prepare our instrument or prepare our projecting instrument. That preparation is done by praying to different Deities ......"

O Goddess of the Universe,
You are looking after the Universe.
You support the Universe, as it is Your own form.
O Devī, The Lord of the Universe bows before You.
Those Who are humble before You with devotion provide shelter to the Universe.
"This is a worship of the Śhakti. Until now many Saints, Sages have known and revealed about this Śhakti. Whatever they could not describe in prose, they tried to convey by poetry. Whatever description was not possible to put in words – they composed different names of the Devī and described. We know all this and many people also know the meaning of this. But one thing they perhaps do not know is that every human being has all these śhaktis, powers dormant in them and they can awaken them. These dormant powers are eternal and limitless.
Besides the thirty-three crores of Devas, there are many Śhaktis. But we can say that this ‘Self-realization’ that we have achieved today, has been achieved through working of some Śhakti or the other. Without this, you could not have achieved the Self-realization."

"Now, when we are celebrating the greatest of greatest this Navarātri, there must be something special about it, that we have to cleanse this heart completely, fully and make it so pure that it purifies all the blood that passes through the whole of the body. So the cells of this heart, which has made this great organ, has to be the best, because the cells of the heart within a human body are the best cells, the highest quality, the most sensitive. And it’s the heart that expresses the Anāhata, the sound that is without percussion. While we find that there are some people of caliber, there are, but others talk more, show off more, and do not have the caliber."
1984-0923 Navarātri Pūjā (1st Day), The Discipline, Hampstead Town Hall Centre, 213 Haverstock Hill, London NW3 4QP, UK
"So as it is we are today praying to the Goddess that, 'Help us to fight our negativity within us. Give us Your tiger so that we fight, give us Your lion so we fight.'
Let us fight all these horrible animals that are within us, these horrible haunting things that are within us, these horrible conditionings we have. You have to get rid of it."

Auṃ Twameva sākṣhāt
Śhrī Kuṣhmāṇḍā sākshāt Śhrī Ādi Śhakti Mātājī Śhrī Nirmalā Devyai namo namaḥ!
O Divine Mother, You are verily Śhrī Kuṣhmāṇḍā, the one whose void contains the universe!
Salutations to You!
"I would say, with this, today's special celebration of Navarātri. Like yesterday you saw Śhrī Durgā's Nine Forms, also. In that, one is Kuṣhmāṇḍā, is one of the forms, that you absorb all the filth in yourself, in your stomach. But the Devī does that, not you. What the Devī can do, you should not do, that's Her job, that She is supposed to do this, not you. What you have to do is to only be in silence so that you absorb whatever will increase that silence, will increase your depth. The Devī will look after all the rest of the things, she'll look after all the filth, all the anger, all the temper, all the everything that's going on in this world. She will absorb all that, but what you have to do is to just enjoy everything that is pure."
1995-1001 Navarātri Pūjā (cusp between 7th Day and 8th Day), You Must Project Your Depth and Not Reflect, Hangar, Cabella Ligure, Alessandria, Italy
Dear All,
Jai Śhrī Mātājī.
Today is the fourth day of Navarātri. Śhrī Kuṣhmāṇḍā, the fourth aspect of Nav Durgā is worshipped today. She is the one whose void contains the universe. She is considered the creator of the universe. Often She is depicted as having eight or ten hands. She holds weapons, glitter, rosary, etc, in Her hands, and She rides a lion.
Śhrī Kuṣhmāṇḍā rides a lion, symbolizing strength and courage in the face of adversity.
Today we complete the recitation of the Devī Kavach.
"So we have made it short now, just take a bandhan, it is he same thing as kavacha you see. Realized Souls, if they take bandhan is the same thing. Whatever you have said here is done, yesterdays and todays, everything that has been said, all these rakṣhākari [act of protection] is done in one stroke.
But now we should know how many of us take bandhan before going from the house, before sleeping or before doing something important. How many people take bandhan. Very seldom you forget it. Very important, going on a journey, going on a road, better take a bandhan, not that we are all right, Mother is looking after us, is not the point. You must take bandhan before doing all these things.
If you get an accident, then know that you have done some mistakes, or something otherwise, normally there should be not an accident, means there is something still lacking in you."

Śhrī Mātājī explaining bandhan
video
Padam'ekam na gacchet tu, yadīcchet-śhubham'ātmanaḥ
Kavachen'āvṛito nityam, yatra-yatr'aiva gacchati
One should invariably cover oneself with this Kavach wherever one goes
And should not walk even a step without it, if one desires auspiciousness.
Nirbhayo jāyate martyaḥ, saṅgrāmeṣhv’aparājitaḥ
Trailokye tu bhavet-pūjyaḥ, kavachen'āvṛitaḥ pumān
The person who covers himself with Kavach becomes fearless, is never defeatedbr> In battle, And becomes worthy of being worshipped in the three worlds.

"As far as materialism is concerned, it’s working out. All these countries who were supposed to be very advanced, developed are suffering; first from recession – and a terrible recession. That recession is going to give them a lesson about overproduction of nonsensical goods. Materialism comes because people have gone mad with their greed."
1997-1004 Talk to Sahaja Yogis (3rd Day of Navarātri), Be Close to Nature and Lead a Balanced Family Life, after the Evening Program, the day before Navarātri Pūjā, Hangar, Cabella Ligure, Alessandria, Italy
We bow and pray to Śhrī Mahākālī, please hear us:
The banking system does not so much encourage productive and useful activities as protect the unethical accumulation of wealth.
Śhrī Ādi Śhakti, please undo the evil that men have done
Please Śhrī Chandika, destroy the evil forces that materialism has created.
Jai Śhrī Mātājī!
