2026 Celebrating Navarātri Festival: “This is what it is the Navarātri, the Pūjā that I give you powers to fight the negativity.”
"...... Navarātri is very good because these nine nights represent the main Nine Incarnations. Where the Goddess took the form of Śhakti and killed the negative people.
But those were easier days because negativity was understood by people and nobody sympathized.
So this is what one has to understand that don't sympathize with negativity. You'll spoil them all. And always you'll find such sympathies bring forth your character also that you are also slightly negative.
Because to fight negativity in modern times is a very difficult task. You cannot kill anyone: if you kill somebody, then may be that such a person is a brother or a sister or something of somebody. Or such a person would be himself or herself a seeker.
So best thing is to separate like a contagious disease, keep that person out, no sympathies. And get the person cured and enjoy the life, otherwise that person is not going to be helped. It has become a very individual fight. And it's so troublesome and so disgusting.
So to help Me out, you should not take any sides with negativity. That's how you can help Me the most. This is what it is the Navarātri, the Pūjā that I give you powers to fight the negativity."

Viśhv'eśwarī twam paripāsi viśhwam
O Goddess of the universe, You are its protector.
Viśhw’ātmikā dhārayas’īti viśhwam
You are the universe, You are its support.
Viśhw’esha-vandyā Bhavatī bhavanti
You are worshipped by the Lord of the universe.
Viśhw’āshrayā ye twayi bhakti-namrāhā
Those who are devoted to You themselves become a refuge for all.
(Devī Mahātmyam, Chapter 11, Nārāyanī Stotram, śhlokas 33 & 35)
"Now the Durgā's qualities are that She is protective of Her children, She's very gentle, very soft with Her children, and She's extremely horrifying to the satanic people, to the negative people. So in this rāga I think because there are, the notes are spaced out. So either you could play it slow or you could play it fast. Nothing in between. That's why it is on a Durgā's style. You see, either She is extremely gentle or She is extremely horrifying. So because She has a double function: is one to look after Her children, and another is protect Her children from the devils. So She has to be very quick about it, to fight them, and to, in every way to frighten them and to be alert about it.
So in the second part you all became very alerted I saw. In the first part you were having a lullaby because it was the Mother's Love that was playing. The second part you became alert, because She has to fight. Now, this is such a nice rāga because it gives you a better sense of security within yourself, builds up sense of security, and also as you know medically that it's important to build up this chakra because that gives you antibodies created. So to fight all the diseases, to fight all the foreign things which try to attack us.
So this rāga is so apt, absolutely apt for today's atmosphere and for today's need. That we have to have the security of the Mother and the protection of the Mother and that all the evil forces must be finished from this world, and that's how this rāga has a very great significance ......"

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.

"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."

"This is a worship of the Śhakti. Until now many Saints, Sages have known and revealed about this Śhakti. Whatever they could not describe in prose, they tried to convey by poetry. Whatever description was not possible to put in words -- they composed different names of the Devī and described. We know all this and many people also know the meaning of this. But one thing they perhaps do not know is that every human being has all these śhaktis, powers dormant in them and they can awaken them. These dormant powers are eternal and limitless.
Besides the thirty-three crores of Devas, there are many Śhaktis. But we can say that this Self-realization that we have achieved today, has been achieved through working of some Śhakti or the other. Without this you could not have achieved the Self-realization."

"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. "

"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!"
