"Today we have decided to have a Pūjā of Śhakti that is the Power, that is the Devī. You know within us there are many Powers of Mahākālī, Mahāsaraswatī, Mahālakṣhmī, Kuṇḍalinī.
All these Powers are there for us to ascent. If these Powers are properly used and understood, then your ascent can be permanent. Once you achieve your ascent and enter into the Kingdom of God, all these Powers get enlightened. And these Powers which are enlightened are absolutely filled with Love.
Enlightenment, we have to understand that we get completely enlightened by Love. So after enlightenment, after Realization, we use only one Power which is of Love."

"I must tell you that the Goddess took Her birth nine times on this Earth.
And today [unclear] seventh, today is the seventh day of Her worship in Navarātri, Navarātri.
And the seventh day is for tremendous activity, tremendous ... uh ... creativity and also for prosperity.

"Today we have gathered here to do the Pūjā of the Śhakti. Till today many Saints have written and spoken a lot about the Śhakti. Those who could not explain the Śhakti in their texts they did it in their poems.
Additionally, they learnt different meanings of the Śhakti. But one thing probably we may not know is that inside every human beings these powers are present in a dormant state and all these powers human being can awaken within himself. All these powers which are present in the dormant state are endless, nor anybody can guess their limit because as an example there are 35 crores [350 million] Deities seated within you. Apart from that, there are several powers that are running them, but at least we can understand that the Self-realization that we received today, certainly some Śhaktis must have worked this out. Without this work, you cannot get your Self-realization. When we are receiving our Self-realization we think that we got it very easily."

1990-1009 Śhrī Devī Pūjā (Hindi), New Delhi, India

"This Power of Love is the Greatest Power and after Sahaja Yoga we have to use only our Power of Love. It’s the most powerful, effective weapon that we have. Because this is Divine Love.
We are getting the Source of Divine Love from the All-pervading Power of God’s Love.
They say that God is Almighty. Then who can be more powerful than God? And if we are connected with God Almighty, who could be mightier than us? In His Love He protects us, He gives us whatever we want, He blesses us and He makes us enjoy ourselves."

"Love is Power of the Goddess, is very subtle, silent, but it manifests. All these manifestations you call them as miracles. You may call them by any name.
It is this Goddess which is ruling this universe, which is in your center Heart, which looks after you and looks after the whole universe, is nothing but Pure Desire of Love."

Bhavānī dayānī, Mahābāka bānī
O Goddess who is all existence and compassion, praised through great mantras
Sura-nara-munī-jana mānī, Sakala budha gňyānī
Worshipped by Gods, saints, sages and men, You are all intelligence and knowledge
Jaga Jananī jaga jānī, Mahishāsura Mardinī
Mother and Maker of this world, Destroyer of the Demon Mahisha
Jwālā-mukhī chandī, Amara pada-dānī ...
All fired-up with flaming face, I seek refuge at Your Eternal Feet.

"On today’s auspicious occasion we have gathered here. Today is the 7th day of the Goddess. On the 7th day, the Devī Goddess destroyed the various rākṣhasas and sinners, because they were torturing the great Saints and Ṛiṣhis who were doing meditation and penance.
We wonder, “Mother, why they did so much penance? What was the need?” The reason for doing it was because although human ascent was still low, yet their aspiration was very high. They aspired to achieve the Ātmā through the body. That is why they worked so hard and did penance in this place. It is due to their aspiration that today we are able to achieve this height. This does not mean that we should think that because of the blessing of Sahaja Yoga we are some great people or some specially chosen people by God. People who think like that will receive a great shock. You will see that those who are simple, innocent, and good-natured will ascend foremost and the rest will be left behind. Therefore just receiving your Realization is not the end.
On this auspicious occasion, God Almighty has manifested all His śhaktis for your protection, benevolence, and welfare. In everything, God is blessing you. He wants to see you enter His Kingdom. In a way, it is His Desire that you should return to your Father’s home and enjoy its comforts. But at least we should be worthy of it. If we are not worthy of it then how can we enter it? We should examine our worthiness and see what it is."

"I would request you the Sahaja Yogis, not to worry as to what is happening around,
but to worry what is happening inside and build up your Mahālakṣhmī Principle.
Once you have built up your Mahālakṣhmī Principle, you will have no problem at all.
Then through you the Mahālakṣhmī Herself will work and fill your countries with great bounties and great joys.
May God bless you all!"

"About the Devī, it is said She is Ati Raudra, Ati Saumya.
But Mahālakṣhmī Ati Raudra Rudra Swarūpi[n] and Rudra is very necessary. Otherwise, this negativity will not go away.
This will only go away with the Rudra Form."
