2026 Celebrating Navarātri Festival: “on this day the Power of Kālī acts and She is the One called as Saṃhāra Kālī”
"Today is the eighth day of Navarātri, but it is great day for Sahaja Yogis because it is the most important period. That is, the seventh center we have crossed and we are on the eighth center. We need not think of the Goddess what She did on the eighth day, we have to think today what we have to do within ourselves.
After crossing the seventh day, after crossing the seventh chakra -- that is the real ascent in your spiritual ascent. What are we to do on the eighth one?
It's so Sahaja that today should be Aṣhṭamī, because that is the day the Goddess killed so may evil doers, and demons and rākṣhasas. She did it on Her own, alone. Now these evil forces are manifesting in human beings. They have spread out. They are within us. So we all have to fight those forces within us. The war is within ourselves, is not without. First when you ascend the seventh chakra, when you are on the eighth step, you have to remember first you have to fight those forces within ourselves."

"So today on this day of Aṣhṭamī, which is a very powerful day, you assume that power within yourself that, 'I can fight all these horrible diseases within myself. And for others I will have compassion and love. I will have not other.' This is the point we miss always. They think, 'Mother is giving lectures to others not to me.'
And that compassion will bring forth the beauty of Sahaja Yoga."

"Sahaja Yoga is the Power of Compassion and Love of God Almighty. But it's not just talk, just not giving you a lecture or a sermon, but it is actualization of the experience of this Divine Love. It is Spirit-oriented, not money-oriented, nor is power-oriented.
All the religions have failed outside because they are not Spirit-oriented. Now, of course, they are challenging us and saying all kinds of wrong things about us because they are frightened that they will be exposed.
But Truth will prevail now. The time has come for Truth to prevail.
It is surprising that people don't understand that Truth is Love and Compassion. If you really love somebody, you know everything about that person, that is how the Divine Love is, which knows everything about everything.
It is the knowledge that you get when you fall into the Ocean of Love, an Ocean, you fall into the Love's Ocean.
One has to know that Truth is what Truth is, you cannot change it, because it is absolute. You cannot transform it, you cannot sell it. You cannot pay for it. It has to be really understood that if you have to know the Truth you will know because the time has come, and that you are the human beings at the epitome of evolution."

"Today is the eighth day of the Devī Pūjā. And on this day the Power of Kālī acts and She is the One called as Saṃhāra Kālī, meaning the One who uh uh destroys all the evil forces.
......
On an Aṣhṭamī Day: 'Let us finish all this negativity and let us become that special type of people who are worshiped all over.' All right?
May God bless you."

"And on an Aṣhṭamī, that is today, is the eighth day of the Moon, of the Moon which is increasing, Śhuklapakṣhi, that first time all the weapons of the Goddess are to be worshiped. This was a great idea because these weapons who work all the time, not only to kill the evil but to protect the good, were never worshiped before."

"These people have decided today to have a Pūjā, and you know what happens to Me when you do My Pūjā. So with all those problems that will be facing later, I would like all of you to be attentive about the Pūjā and to take full advantage of that. With this Pūjā you get the Mother's protection, to begin with. And My chakras, when they start moving, they give you special powers of love and bless all your chakras and fill them up completely. So I would like you, though some two people are coming to do this, all of you to feel that you all are doing it, and you can feel it that way with oneness. And the blessings of My being will flow to you automatically."
