2025 Celebrating the Festival of Light, Diwālī: “for today’s New Year, let us vow within ourselves that the selfishness or the self-centeredness or the smallness in you is finished”
"Diwālī is supposed to be Enlightenment Day. But enlightenment within is: how much you are in thoughtless awareness.
And everything works out, because you are the Ocean of it. You have it within yourself. Only, you have to tap it. If you don't tap it, then it doesn't work out. You have to just tap it, and you'll be amazed that you are a source of such joy, source of such happiness, I should say source of real enlightenment."
2002-1103 Diwālī Pūjā (Naraka Chaturdaśhī Day), The Importance of Meditation, Lake Piru Recreational Area Campground, 4780 Piru Canyon Rd, Piru (87 kms NW of Los Angeles), CA, U.S.A.
"So this is the fifth day, is Dvija [Bhāī Dūja]. So from thirteenth to the fifth day they celebrate Diwālī.
For us Diwālī has a very great significance. That is: from one light many lights are awakened and they are put in a line. So they are called as diwālī, means the 'lights put in a line'. So when you hold My hands together, all of us, through that the energy passes and the enlightened Rāsa is established. And the whole world has to become that beautiful dream of your Mother where nothing but the bliss of your Father and His enjoyment when He sees His own Creation dancing in that Ocean of Bliss.
May God bless you!"

"Now, the last day is very important: is a very universal day, I should say, called as Bhāī Dūj. is the ... or they call it also in Marathi Bhāūbīj, the ... different names. Is the: brothers' and sisters' day.
Now, the brothers' and sisters' relationship has to be very, very strong. And the purity of that relationship is to be maintained. Is not necessary that you should be born as brothers and sisters, not necessary. But you are born, because if you are realized Souls you are born as brothers and sisters. So that purity must be maintained in the society of Sahaja Yoga. Very important it is. That we should try to develop this situation that brothers and sisters are something very pure. Their relationships are very pure. And they should not be at all challenged.
It is so much so that even if you call somebody your brother, he is your brother and the more you develop this relationship, the better your left Viśhuddhi will be. Because left Viśhuddhi is the relationship with God as a brother or with a Goddess as a sister."

Auṃ Twameva sākṣhāt Śhrī Pūrna chandr’ābhā sākṣhāt Śhrī Ādi Śhakti Mātājī Śhrī Nirmalā Devī namo namaḥ!
O Divine Mother, You are verily the radiance of the Full Moon! Salutations to You!
"Today is a day we celebrate in India, where relationship between brothers and sisters have to be established.
They're very pure. Brothers and relationsh... sisters relationship is without any lust or greed. Is pure relationship, where the sister prays for the protection of the brother and brother play ... pray ... prays for the self-sufficiency of the kṣhema, well-being, of the sister."

"But for a gṛuhalakṣhmī, the brother is very important.
And the brotherhood and sisterhood is the base of our Sahaja Yoga collectivity. If you understand that brotherhood and sisterhood is love which is very pure, there is no expectation, is just love: is giving love and taking love. And Absolute Purity within us should exist between our relationships when we call them as Sahaja Yogi brothers and sisters. And as there is understanding, complete understanding between the brother and sister, in a family, one has to know we are all part and parcel of a family, born out [of] the same Mother.
Nobody has to shoot off, you know, nobody has to become something great, nobody has to correct others, nobody has to uh say that, 'I'm something unique.'
All of you have to work it out together and find out the solution working out together, in complete friendship and unison.
Anyone who cuts off himself and goes out or becomes anything else, goes out of circulation and useless for Sahaja Yoga. Such a person is completely useless: the one who tries to get out of the family.
All of you have to be supporting as each other, helping to each other, not shouting at each other, [not] getting angry with each other, trusting each other, not finding faults, treating each other with respect [unclear and love]."
