2025 Celebrating Navarātri: “the seventh day is for tremendous activity, tremendous creativity, and also for prosperity”
"Today, we have gathered here to do the Devī Pūjā.
This Pūjā was performed many a times and the Devī was requested by the Devas to save them from the tyranny of devilish people. Today I feel the same way, that we are now in the grip of a funny situation; that there are people who are themselves devils, I think, -- and also [who are] mesmerized by them -- who are trying to do something which they should never have done. But they don't know that there is a climax of everything. And that point has arrived where all the good people, especially the Sahaja Yogis should put all their mind to the destruction of these horrible personalities like Mahiṣhāsura.
In those days, it was very simple because devils came as devils and you could see them, that they are devils, and all their behavior proved that they were devils. Why they did it? Why were they cruel? Because so-called 'human beings' as they are -- they are not -- they are by nature devilish and they want to do something by which they can destroy human beings, and good human beings. It is evident that the time has come for them to be destroyed."

"...... 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 ... uh ... for ... uh ... tremendous activity, tremendous ... uh ... creativity and also for prosperity."

"Today is the Seventh Day of the Goddess when She incarnated on this Earth in Her Seventh Incarnation. On this day She incarnated again and again on this land, around this area, seven times. And She is being expressed through the exuberance of the Mother Land. That She has created all the temples which have come out of the Mother Earth spontaneously.
The seven of these represent the seven chakras of the Sahasrāra, the Śhaktis of the chakra ... of Sahasrāra.
So we are so fortunate today to be here on the seventh day to celebrate the Incarnations of these Seven Powers: of these Seven Powers which came on this Earth to give protection to the whole world, to look after the Saints, and to give them the vision of God.
They have killed so many devils and rākṣhasas, and established the blissful, innocent life here.
God looks after the innocent. He loves only the innocent and not the ones who are cunning, who are troublesome. He goes a little way towards people who are not so good as these are, tries to save them, to help them, but up to a point. Then it gives up.
This is what has happened in this area before also. They were many kings who ruled these areas where they were people who worshipped the Goddess and lived a righteous, innocent life. And those who tried to insult the Mother perished forever and ever."

"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."

Jaya Twam Devī Chāmuṇḍe jaya bhū-tāpa-hāriṇi,
Jaya Sarva-gate Devī Kāḷarātri namostute
Victory be to You, O Devī Chāmuṇḍā
Victory be to You Who destroys the suffering of all living beings.
Victory be to You, O Devī Who is present everywhere.
Salutations to You, O Kāḷarātri (the longest night)
(from Argala Strotram)
Auṃ Twameva sākṣhāt Śhrī Kāḷarātri sākṣhāt Śhrī Ādi Śhakti Mātājī Śhrī Nirmalā Devyai namo namaḥ!
O Divine Mother, You are verily Śhrī, the one who is the dark night of dissolution,
Salutations to You!
"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.
"In this small song how much they have said, so many things. "Amara Pada dāni." That "She gives you the status, which is indestructible, the position, which cannot be destroyed" -- "Amara Pada," "the highest." That's the description of the Goddess and that's what you have got.
May God bless you all."
