2023 Celebrating Navarātri Festival: “This is called as Sacred Heart in the Bible. She resides as Jagadambā.”
"Today we are going to do Pūjā for Navarātri.
Yesterday you saw, beautiful description of Navarātri and how the Mother Goddess has created all kinds of powers within you. It's not that only She has the powers, but you all have the powers, and you can all work it out, you can all find out whether these powers are there or not.
With us, the Realization is very important, but there the Kuṇḍalinī has given you this Realization. Of course Kuṇḍalinī is a part or, we can say, reflection of Ādi Śhakti, and also the Jagadambā is also part of Ādi Śhakti.
She's placed in the center of two hearts, which is a very important point. Now all these powers are placed in that chakra. So you imagine how many of these powers must be there, and Her Powers are expressed through the center Heart in all the gaṇas you have around your body. Now these gaṇas are the ones who do give you the protection, give you the sleep, give you the energy, give you the blessings. All of them are at work all the time, and these bodies are extremely dedicated and connected all the time to the Mother Ambā, we can call Jagadambā. Now She is the Mother of the Universe, so you can imagine, how busy She has to be to look after the whole Universe! "
1994-1009 Navarātri Pūjā (5th Day), Innocence (Fearlessness) and Enlightened Faith, Tent, Cabella Ligure, Alessandria, Italy
"She gives us the protection. She's the Protector.
And She's the Mother of this world, Jagadambā."

That person receives more and more glory and prowess. On the earth he rises in prosperity and fame by reading the Kavacha and Saptaśhatī.
Jay twam Devī Chãmuṇḍe jaiy bhutãrtihãrini,
Jay sarvagate Devī Kãlarãtri namostute.
Victory be to you O Devī Chāmuṇḍā (the killer of Chaṇḍā and Muṇḍa) victory be to You O remover of miseries of all living beings.
Victory be to You O Devī who is present everywhere.
Salutations to you O Kãlarãtri (final destruction of the universe)
"The Devī has many forms, but is the Embodiment of the Śhakti. Ādi Śhakti gives Śhakti to all these Embodiments.
And so, there are many Goddesses we have. At different times, They came on this Earth, and did all that was necessary for the ascent of people who were seekers.
Specially, the One we know of Jagadambā, the Durgā, She was trying to protect all the Seekers of Truth and to destroy all evil forces
Because without the ascent of human beings, they do not know the Truth. And that's why, whatever they try to do is a mental projection.
And this mental projection, if it is not sumsti ... substantiated by Truth, by dharma, it declines. In Sanskrit they call it glāni.
When this glāni takes place, then Incarnations are born to solve the problem."

"You are Sahaja Yogis.
What is your destiny? Your destiny is to achieve the spiritual success [spiritual ascent].
The Devī destroyed Chaṇḍā and Muṇḍa, that is why She is called Chāmuṇḍā. They are all back in this Kali Yuga, all of them.
[Prayer to the Devī: 'O Devī, please give us the spiritual personality, the victory, the spiritual ascent and destroy our enemies'.]
"Saint Eknāth comes from Pratiṣhṭhān. Pratiṣhṭhān comes from Paiṭhaṇ.
And he is the one, who has written this 'Jogawa', means the Yoga ......"

Salutations to You O Goddess Chāmuṇḍā Nārāyanī,
whose mouth was dreadful with its great teeth,
Who wore a garland of human skulls as an ornament and killed the demon Muṇḍa.
(Mahālakṣhmī Hymn, chapter 11 of the Devī Māhātmyam)
"You come up now to the Heart chakra. Heart chakra is divided into three parts. In the center of the Heart chakra resides Jagadambā Herself. But [in] the left side as I have told you resides Śhiva and His Power is Pārvatī. When Pārvatī Herself separates Her identity with Her Lord and enters in the center to save Her children from the domination of the evil spirits, then She resides in the center and She is the Jagadambā. This is called as ``Sacred Heart" in the Bible. She resides as Jagadambā. She has taken many Incarnations to save.
Today there was Lalitā Pañchamī, they sang the song of Lalitā. The way She took Her Incarnations to fight the evil forces, to save the bhaktas from the domination of satanic and depraving personalities. She is there within you also, if not awakened She can be awakened. She is all the time there to save you from those satanic forces."

"Śhrī Saraswatī is known as Skandamātā, She was not His mother and was virgin. But, but She took Skanda [Kārttikeya] as Her Son and held Him to Her heart."

O Devī, we bow before You, who are yourself good fortune in the dwellings of the virtuous, and ill-fortune in those of the vicious, intelligence in the hearts of the learned, faith in the hearts of the good, and modesty in the hearts of the high-born.
May You protect the universe!
Śhrī Mātājī: This is a prayer.

Auṃ Twameva sākṣhāt Śhrī Skandamātā sākṣhāt Śhrī Ādi Śhakti Mātājī Śhrī Nirmalā Devī namo namaḥ!
O Divine Mother, You are verily the Mother of Śhrī Kārttikeya!
Salutations to You!
"This song that you have heard has been composed in the year of 1600. And in this song the poet has sung for the rustic people, in their language. That, ``Oh Mother, give us our Realization!" Jogawa means the Yoga, the Union with the Divine and the Sahaja Yoga means spontaneous.
It fills My heart to see how since long the seekers have been asking for this Union with the Divine. What a search! What a seeking!"

"...... as you know I am the Goddess, and the Goddess has to wear I don't know how many ornaments just to adorn Her chakras. I mean, I have lots of ornaments Myself of My own. But only for Pūjā I wear, otherwise I don't wear: I am supposed to wear lots of things. Why? Because it may not be that -- all right, may be dignified, but may not be that all right to wear all those things all the time. But I am supposed to wear."

"...... I would like to tell you about the meaning of Pūjā. There are two aspects. One is the aspect that you have got your own Deities within you inside. And these Deities are to be awakened within you. Deities are the different aspects of One God. So, on one side you have the Deities -- is the aspects of God, which are all the time awakened. On the other side you have your own Deities, which are sometimes awakened, sometimes half awakened, sometimes sleeping and sometimes sick. [Laughter.] So, you have to use two methods -- one to please the Deities of God and to ask them to bless your Deities or to ask them to awaken your Deities."
