2026 Celebrating Navarātri Festival: “when the great Saints introspect themselves, who were worshiping the Mother, they found out that what She has done for us.”

"The Devī incarnated on this Earth to kill the demonic personalities who try to destroy all the good qualities of women.
We also have those demonic personalities within us and they are to be destroyed -- not physically, but mentally.
How you accept them and how you deal with whatever they try is very surprising.
You must understand that the goodness of a person is very important. If you are trying to be nasty or dominating then you'll be definitely destroyed. That's why this Devī has come on the Earth. That is the assurance of this Devī, the Goddess."
2003-1004 Pūjā (9th Day of Navarātri), House, 268 Overpack Avenue, Ridgefield Park, NJ, U.S.A.

"And that is why, today is the day when the Virgin, Gaurī, sat down to worship Śhiva. She made a Śhiva Lingua and was sitting and putting Her sindūr on that: "That you look after this, which is the mark of my Union with you. I leave it to you, to look after" -- to Śhiva. "You look after me. I surrender to you." With this, that's how Gaurī your Kuṇḍalinī surrenders to the Spirit: 'Now You look after this connection. I forget everything else. I leave it into Your hands. Lift Me up. You raise Me up. I forget all that was Me before. Everything I have dropped out. No other desire. But just lift Me higher and higher. Make Me Yourself. The rest of it is not important. All other manifestations of this, desires are over. Now, I am absolutely surrendered to You, My Spirit. Lift Me higher and higher. Higher and higher, away from all the things that were not the Spirit. Make Me complete Spirit, full Spirit.'

Namo Devyai Mahādevyai
Salutations to the Devī, to the Mahādevī,
Śhivāyai satataṃ namaḥ,
To You who is ever Auspicious,
Namaḥ prakṛutyai bhadrāyai
To You who is the Primordial Cause,
Niyyatāḥ praṇatāḥ sma tām
And the Sustaining Power, we bow to You.
(from 'Devī Sūktam' in Devī Māhātmyam)

"There have been many Incarnations of the Goddess for different, different purposes. But when the great Saints introspect themselves who were worshiping the Mother, they found out that what She has done for us.
The other day I told you, the dharma is the innate valency of human beings. And they are ten. This is already established within us, but we deviate, deviate from dharma and all the problems come in, because to leave the dharma is not a human quality.
But Goddess Herself has done so many things for us already, within us, though we are not aware of it. Is said that, "Yā Devī sarvabhūteśhu": "All those whom You have created," means mostly the human beings, "What do You do? As what do You exist inside the human beings?"
Now, just introspect if you have these qualities within you or not, because they are given to you by the Goddess, by the Śhakti within you.
......
So, the second one She says is: "Yā Devī sarvabhūteśhu, Prīti rūpeṇa saṃsthitā."
Prīti is the quality of loving, that a human being has been given the quality of loving. But, it's not there. Because first nonsensical thing human beings have is jealousy.
Now, supposing I gave some present to somebody, and some present to another one. Even in Sahaja Yoga they feel jealous. Very surprising. How can you, when the Goddess has given you the quality to love?
Very, very common nonsense about it is that human beings are very jealous. But as Sahaja Yogis you should not do, because that quality that the Goddess has given you is of loving.
That quality should be shown -- on the contrary you are very jealous. That means you are not a Sahaja Yogi, blessed by Śhrī Mātājī -- no. If you are blessed, then you will have no jealousy whatsoever."

"You must pray to God and ask what you want.
Ask for, 'Complete satisfaction in my heart, joy in my heart, bliss in my heart, so that the whole world becomes blissful. Give me love, love that I could love the whole world and that the whole world becomes one in love. Give salvation to the entire humanity which is suffering. Take me to Your Feet. Cleanse me with Thy Love.' "

Salutations to You O Devī Nārāyanī, who took the form of Brahmanī (the Śhakti of Brahmadeva) and sprinkled water with kuśha grass while riding in the heavenly car (aeroplane Vimāna) of the swan
(Mahālakṣhmī Hymn, Chapter 11 of Devī Māhātmyam)

PRABHU MAZA MALA JEVHA BASE GHEUNI EKANTĪ</font>
When I am alone with my God (in meditation) MITI VARNU MALA TEVHA GHADE JI HO SUKHAPRAPTĪ
The bliss that I feel is beyond words
MALA PĀHĪ PRABHUSANGE, DUI ATMA TAI PALE DURĪ
When I am in the company of God, evil runs away
GALE SAMARTHYA MOHACHE NURE RUNT KUTHE VAIRĪ
No temptation can dominate me and nobody can confront me
MALA BODHĀMRUT PĀJĪ, SADA ]AEI NAVI TRUPTĪ
Every time I experience the Divine knowledge, I feel more satisfaction and Divine Joy
KUTHE CHINTA KUTHE DUKHHE KSHANE SĀRI LAVA JĀTĪ
All moments of concerns and sorrows vanish
PRABHUSANGE MILE JĪVA, NASE KOTHE TASHI SHANTĪ
Nowhere else can my soul find peace except in the company (in union) with God Almighty
PRABHU MAZA SWAYE NĪTĪ, PRABHU MAZA SWAYE PRITĪ
My God himself is Truth and Love
