2021 Celebrating International Śhivarātri Pūjā: “He is called Mahādeva, the God of Gods”
"I have told you about the origin before. Because on the Day of Mahāśhivarātri, when there is a talk about Śhivjī, then it has to begin with origin. How much He is Primordial, means when there is a first manifestation of form of God Almighty. He is called as Sadāśhiva when He is enlightened from Brahma. That is why the one who is Śhivjī is called as Ādi [Primordial]. You see, before the complete manifestation of any tree its seed has to be seen first and that is why it has to be called ‘Bīj Swarūpa’ – form of the seed. That is why the glory of Śhiva is very important. After that, after His manifestation, the power within Him gets Her form and is called as Ādi Śhakti."
1976-0229 Śhivarātri Pūjā (Hindi), Utpatti -- Ādi Śhakti aur Śhiva ka Swarūp (Genesis -- Ādi Śhakti and Śhiva in Form), Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
"Śhrī Mahādeva is helpful in this, too. When your Kuṇḍalinī pierces the Sahasrāra, Śhrī Mahādeva is seated there.
That is why He is called Mahādeva, the God of Gods ......"
2004-0215 Śhivarātri Pūjā (Hindi+English), Kalyāṇ and Kaiyvalya, Pune, Maharashtra, India
Sat-chid’ānanda rūpah, Śhivo’ham, Śhivo’ham
I am in the form of Sat (truth, Self or existence), Chit (awareness or consciousness) and Ananda (bliss or pure joy)
I am Śhiva, I am Śhiva!
"The aspect of Śhrī Śhiva is found in our heart. Whenever somebody becomes the Spirit, I am not saying gets enlightened, but when the Kuṇḍalinī gets awakened this Principle of Śhrī Śhiva gets enlightened. This light first comes into our brain and our heart and thus for the first time there is Yoga, i.e., Union of the brain and the heart. Otherwise normally there is no relation between man’s heart and his brain. They each run in separate directions. This light which is emitted from the Spirit, flows through our hands and fontanel bone areas as vibrations."
1997-0316 Śhivarātri Pūjā, These Rudras Are to Be Satisfied (Channels of the Divine and Torch on the Path of Truth, Love and Joy), New Delhi, India
"But when He finds that in the play of Ādi Śhakti, the people or the world as such, try to disturb Her or to spoil Her work, then He gets into His wrathful mood, and He destroys all such people, and maybe, He destroys the whole world.
On one side He’s wrathful, no doubt, on the other side, He is the Ocean of Compassion and Joy. That’s why, when He is reflected within us, we get our Self-realization, we get the light of our Spirit and we get into the Ocean of Joy. Also He is the Ocean of Knowledge, so those who get self-realized get the Knowledge of the Divine, which is very subtle, permeating into every atom and molecule, the Power of this Knowledge is there. His style is such that, in his compassion, He forgives even very cruel rākṣhasas, if they dedicate themselves to Him. Because His Compassion has no limits and sometimes the same people who are blessed by Him try to trouble the devotees of Ādi Śhakti – but it is just to create a drama, an event."

Śhiva Kavach Sage Rishabha, from Skanda Puran
"Today, we are going to worship Śhiva Tattwa within us, Principle of Śhiva.
For all Sahaja Yogis, it’s very important, for [as] Śhiva is the ultimate we have to achieve. Śhiva is represented in our Spirit, so to become Śhiva is the ultimate aim of everything else. The rest of it is all created, like Viṣhṇu Tattwa and Brahmadeva, just to create human beings, to evolve them, and then ultimately lead them to Śhiva. That’s the Ultimate."
1983-0211 Śhivarātri Pūjā (English+Hindi), Śhiva Tattwa within Us and No Alternatives to Your Mother's Ideas, Universal Sahaja Yoga Temple, Āśhram, 78 Kṛiṣhṇa Nagar, Safdarjung Enclave, New Delhi, India
"To attain Śhiva Tattwa we have to see how pure our heart is. We give place to many evil thoughts in our hearts, e.g., jealousy. There is no use of becoming jealous: we should not feel jealous of anyone.
They might have harassed us or done harm to us, jealousy does no good to you. If your heart is pure, then the mirror in which the reflection of Lord Śhiva has to come will remain pure. But if you are full of jealousy then the mirror will not remain clean and as such the reflection of Lord Śhiva will also not be perfect. Enmity and ill feelings for others are not to be fostered in the heart. That is why Christ has sad to forgive everyone. Forgiving is very important. Many Saints, before and after Christ, have said the same thing, that "Forgive everyone". The moment you forgive your enemy, immediately Lord Śhiva takes over.
The Power of Śhrī Mahādeva is the Subtlest and it punishes the evildoer in a nice way. This is the work of Lord Śhiva, it’s not your work. Therefore jealousy for anyone is very bad."
1999-0214 Śhivarātri Pūjā (Hindi+English), Principle of Śhiva Is in Your Heart, New Delhi, India
Aum Śhivam Śhivakaram Shāntam Śhiv’ākaram
Aum to the auspicious One, the bestower of auspiciousness, the One who is peace, who is the auspicious Spirit,
Śhiv’ottamam Śhivamārga Pranetāram Pranatosmi Sadāshivam
The highest, most auspicious and beautiful One, who is the path of auspiciousness, before whom everyone prostrates,
I bow to the Lord God Almighty.
"Śhiva is nothing but Love, He’s Love. Love is that corrects, that nourishes, that wants your benevolence. That’s what Śhiva is. It wants your benevolence. It looks after your benevolence.
So when you are looking after the benevolence of others with love, then the whole life changes, the whole pattern changes, and you really enjoy it because you become one with so many, concerned with so many families, so many things, so many problems of others, and you just feel you are one with so many."
1991-0216 Śhivarātri Pūjā, Four Nāḍīs of the Heart, Cinema Garden Theater, Chianciano Terme, Italy
"I bless you all from My heart where resides the Śhiva, the Sadāśhiva, and Sadāśhiva blesses you. He is a[n] innocent personality, absolutely innocent. He is the One who is beyond any attachments, absolutely beyond any attachments. He is the One who is watching, watching all of you with such admiration, His joy knows no bounds, it’s tremendous as if He is dancing with joy. It’s a great day for us to celebrate this Śhiva Pūjā here. I hope all of you respect the Principle of Śhiva within you, that’s the most important."
1992-0229 Śhivarātri Pūjā, We Have Become so Beautiful, Glenrock Lagoon, Newcastle (160 kms N of Sydney), New South Wales, Australia
"And I am sure after this Śhiva Pūjā, you will dedicate yourself to Śhiva Principle within you.
Śhiva Principle doesn’t ‘stir out’, it’s very, very stern, it’s very powerful. You have to dedicate, and you have to surrender.
Above every other job, above every other performance, the highest is this.
So, with this, I ask Śhiva to give you blessings, complete blessings, so that you get transformed into the personality of Śhiva.
May God bless you all."
2002-0317 Śhivarātri Pūjā, The Power of Love, Śhrī Śhiv Chatrapatī Sports Complex Stadium, Balewadi, Mahalunge, Pune, Maharashtra, India
We, the children, bow with complete devotion and adoration to the Sacred One who resides in the heart of Śhrī Mātājī Nirmalā Devī. From Him came the desire for our emancipation.
