2025 Celebrating Navarātri: “Mother’s Love is binding. She cannot escape it. And She has to manifest it, work it out, and give that protection to all Her children.”
"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.
In all Incarnation of the Goddess, there have been very much incarnated, the satanic forces, they had incarnated, and She had to fight them ... with them, and destroy them. But this destruction was not for the destruction's sake that, `The evil forces are to be destroyed,' but evil forces always try to put down the seekers, put down the Saints, try to hard ... harm them, sometimes even destroy [them].
All these destructive forces do not come at the same time, normally. At different times: is easy to handle.
But the aim of the Incarnation is to save, to protect the people who are seekers, because they are the most important people in the realm of spirituality."

"Now you are worshiping today the Durgā, or all the Nine Forms of the Goddess. She came nine times on this Earth, according to this, that She fought all the people who were destroying the seekers, who were trying to make a mess of their lives. And these tortured Saints, when they prayed to the Goddess -- because none of the Gods could do anything, and Sadāśhiva is never interfering with what the Goddess is doing -- so they worshiped the Bhagavatī, and then the Incarnation of Hers came nine times, according to the need of the time.
So every time you find Her confronting people who are extremely arrogant, self-opinionated, thinking no end of themselves. And the bhaktas are tortured by these self-opinionated horrible rākṣhasas. "

"Today, we have gathered here to do the Navarātri Pūjā.
There were nine times when the Major Incarnations of the Mother of this Universe were manisfested [manifested]. They were manifested with a purpose. That purpose is to protect Her bhaktas, Her disciples, Her children.
This was a binding love. She could not escape it. Mother's Love is binding. She cannot escape it. And She has to manifest it, work it out, and give that protection to all Her children."
1991-1013 Navarātri Pūjā (6th Day), False Religion and Recognize Me, Tent, Cabella Ligure, Alessandria, Italy
Visṛistau sṛisti-rūpā Tvam sthiti-rūpā cha pālane,
Tathā saṁhṛiti-rūpānte jagato-'sya jagan-maye ǁ 5 ǁ
O You, whose Form is the Universe, at the time of creation You are the Creative Force,
At the time of sustentation You are the Protective Power and at the time of the Dissolution of the World,
You are the Destructive Power.
"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
Auṃ Twameva sākṣhāt Śhrī Kuṣhmāṇḍā sākṣhāt Śhrī Ādi Śhakti Mātājī Śhrī Nirmalā Devī namo namaḥ!
O Divine Mother, You are verily Śhrī Kuṣhmāṇḍā, the one whose void contains the universe! Salutations to You!
"So we have made it short now, just take a bandhan, it is the 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 defeated
In battle, And becomes worthy of being worshipped in the three worlds.

Sahaja Yogi [reads]:"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.
