The Śrīmad Devī Bhāgavatam is a supreme scripture for attaining liberation. Veda Vyāsa wrote eighteen Purāṇas to disseminate Vedic knowledge, among which the Devī Bhāgavatam holds a paramount position. It reveals the truth of death and the creative power of the Divine Mother, the foundation of all existence. Listening to this text brings blessings, removes afflictions, and fulfills wishes, as illustrated by the story of Vasudeva who recovered his son through its recitation. The human life is meant for the four aims of Dharma, Artha, Kāma, and Mokṣa, with liberation being the ultimate goal. This Purāṇa is a direct means to that liberation. Navarātrī is the ideal time to engage with this text. The observance involves fasting and vigilance over sleep, symbolizing awakening from the darkness of worldly desires and inner demons. True worship requires correcting one's action, knowledge, and sovereignty, and dissolving the ego which consumes spiritual power. All existence is sustained by the Divine Mother's energy, evident in our very breath. Connecting to that power through devotion and scripture is the path to freedom.

"Our breath is the proof that the Supreme Power is keeping us alive."

"To wake up from this sleep, leave these beings for nine nights."

Part 1: The Significance of Śrīmad Devī Bhāgavatam Today, I am very happy that on the occasion of Navarātrī, Śrīmad Devī Bhāgavad Gītā will be recited here for the last nine days. Even if one person memorizes even one verse of Śrīmad Devī Bhāgavad Gītā, he will be blessed. The house in which Śrīmad Devī Bhāgavad Gītā is kept is considered holy, and there is no affliction there. Veda Vyāsajī wrote the 18 Purāṇas. Why did he write them? He saw that the Vedas are written in the Sanskrit language. Who will read them? So he wrote 18 Purāṇas in many languages, among which are Śrīmad Bhāgavata Purāṇa, Devī Purāṇa, Viṣṇu Purāṇa, Brahmā Purāṇa, and Nārada Purāṇa. He wrote eighteen such Purāṇas, among which Śrīmad Devī Bhāgavata Purāṇa is such that it mentions the truth of death. And it is said that there is no difference between Śrīmad Bhāgavatam and Śrīmad Devī Bhāgavatam. Both go in the same direction. Both are the same. What is the difference? Śrīmad Bhāgavatam was recited by Śukadevajī Mahārāj to Raja Parīkṣit. And Śrīmad Devī Bhāgavatam was recited by Sūryajī Mahārāj. In Śrīmad Devī Bhāgavatam, there is a story of Devī Parambhā, and the origin of the whole creation was told by Parambhā Jagadambā. And in this Purāṇa, especially when Lord Kṛṣṇa went to find Prasena, someone advised Vasudevajī Mahārāj to listen to the story of Śrīmad Devī Bhāgavatam, and his son would return soon. They heard the story of Śiva Devī Bhāgavatam, and as soon as the story was completed, Lord Kṛṣṇa returned. There are many such examples in Śiva Devī Bhāgavatam which tell us that at that time, Vasudevajī, for the worship of Lord Kṛṣṇa, when he heard the story of Śiva Devī Bhāgavatam, he also received its benefit. We are the people of Uttar Pradesh. It is important to listen to this story in the month of Caitra, in the month of Jyeṣṭha, and especially on Navarātrī. That is why in Navarātrī this story is being started. I understand that this story of Mokṣa Nāyak has brought a lot of progress in your life. It has been said that the Brāhmaṇa who reads and listens becomes a scholar. The Kṣatriya who listens becomes a powerful person. And the Vaiśya who listens, he attains wealth and prosperity. And whoever listens becomes the pillar of the family. This is why the Śiva Devī Bhagavad Gītā is a very important story in itself. By listening to this story, by contemplating this story, the Bhagavad Gītā is achieved. We live our lives for four things: Dharma, Artha, Kāma, and Mokṣa. What is Dharma? It is Dhārayati Dharma. Just like during Navarātrī, we fast, and we will recite the Devī Bhagavad Gītā, or you will read the book of Mañjuśrī. Or you will read the book of Mañjuśrī. There is a person who goes to a church and, after the worship of Jesus Christ, he eats there. He reads the Guru Granth Sāhib and eats there. There are different types of religions. The one who adopts certain disciplines in his life and follows them, that is a religion. After that, out of 100,000 people, 100,000 of them go out in the morning and work day and night to earn money. People live for money. After that comes the third purpose of life, which is only animal life. People who are successful live animal lives. But the real purpose of living is to attain Mokṣa. And when can one attain Mokṣa? When a person meditates on Dharma, contemplates on attaining Bhagavān, and there are many solutions for this. Kaliyun kumār nām, Azharā sumari sumari bhava. After that, meditate on Bhagavān, and while contemplating on Bhagavān, like Karma Bhai, while enjoying khicḍī, while singing bhajan to Mīnājī, God has given darśana to devotees in different ways. And by listening to Devī Purāṇa and Śrīmad Bhāgavata Purāṇa, one can attain mokṣa in life for sure. That is why it has been called Mokṣa Dāyinī Kathā. Śiva is the twelfth stage of the Devī Bhāgavatam. And in these twelve stages, there are different stories of different deities. The story begins with Lord Viṣṇu, and in all the deities, there is the story of Parambhā Jagadambā, who is the foundation of the world. And how we can make our lives successful by listening to the stories of our ancestors. All these things have been given in this book. I, Śiva Devī Bhārgavā, worship the Holy Quran. The house in which the worship of this book is done, that house also keeps moving ahead without any problems. The young girls who have thought of Śiva Devī Bhārgavā, they get a good life. And the one who listens to this book, there are few words in English. Śrīmad Devī Bhāgavata Purāṇa is considered the culmination of our theological as well as philosophical deliberations and holds the supreme position among the eighteen Purāṇas. Similarly, Śrī Mādhavī Bhagavad is attributed the same important and sacred place. In fact, the combined effect of Śrī Mādhavād and Śrī Devī Mādhavād gave a balanced and complete shape to the Param Tattva, the Supreme Truth. One of the main characteristics of Indian philosophy and theology is paying our highest regard to motherhood. Motherhood is equivalent to godlyhood. She is the supreme creator. We all owe our existence to the mother. We believe strongly that Mother is just like the Goddess, and she is placed in the rank of Supreme Teacher. We believe that Mother is just like God, Mātṛ Devo Bhava, Pitṛ Devo Bhava, Ācārya Devo Bhava. They are just like our God. She is the source of all energy and force, who can bring success, love, devotion, and knowledge into our life, and at the same time, the mother can destroy all the extremities and cruelties. Śrīmad Devī Bhāgavatam is the most powerful and dependable medium which can lead us to the highest godlyhood. Thank you very much. This was our dear bhakta, Viti Kala. He was previously known as the minister for so many things. Health Minister, now he is in finance. He is Chairman of the State Finance Commission, but what is more important, he is also the Chairman of the Sanskrit Literary Festival. So, we wish to thank our dear brother, Guru brother and dear Bhakta, that he blessed this occasion with his... I greet the Parambhā who is sitting in the form of a person in July 2006. Life is a riddle. I cannot claim what is the truth. The person is most aware of himself. That is, we have the most ignorance of our own. We do not know our own. We can read books. We can travel all around the world. And nowadays, people even go to space. She said that when she went to Sītā Vidyām Santṛkṣā, she took a book of Śrīmad Bhagavad Gītā with her. This is a good thing about this book: this faith. I have said it many times. This is the space of the outer world. This space is in these scriptures written by these sages. This Devī Bhāgavad, this Śrīmad Bhāgavad Gītā or Śrīmad Bhāgavad Mahāpurāṇa or Śiva Purāṇa, these are the images of a different world, a different space. If we sit down and think that we have traveled, then it is exactly the same. You sit in front of the world map and pray to the world map. And worship the world map, and you think that I have traveled. This is the map. And the space where you do not have to move out to go, but you have to stop all the movements. We don’t understand who is called Śakti and who is called Power. We are more aware of our own Śakti. We don’t even know our own Śakti. If we read this in the form of a ritual, then we will have to do the worship of a map, we will have to do the worship of a map. And this is the way to walk, you don’t have to move to walk, you will have to turn inward. Just go in words. How did he do that? For that, Vedavyāsajī, to tell that one true truth, he wrote eighteen Purāṇas. Ekam Sat Viprā Bahudhā Vadanti. Even then, Puṣpa Gandhījī says, "O Lord, O Mahādeva, O the supreme foundation of the world, make the pen of all the trees of the world, make the sea, make the sea, even then we cannot overcome your qualities...." And you don’t say that you have seen it, and that’s it. If you have to give something, then how do you take it in your words? The land is made when a person has to fulfill his wish with a person. Similarly, when you reach the shop, you take the things you need to the lawn. You think that my journey is over. No, no, you will have to understand this. This is a map. We will have to go on a journey, and that journey is not possible without the Guru. That is why we praise Gaṇeśa and praise Guru Mahārāj. Sahaja Yoga says, "Hariko tajoon par guru ko na tajadharoon. Guru ke saman hari ko niharoon. Hari ne māyā phand banāye. Guru ne māyā phand chuḍāye. Hari ne janam diyo jag māṁhoṁ. Guru is higher than you." Why is he higher than you? Because the Guru takes you out of this illusion. So the biggest way to enter our scriptures is to become a disciple. First, what will we do after becoming a disciple? How will we become a disciple in a certificate course? To become a disciple means to be ready to learn, to become a seeker, to become receptive. Who is he? He was the 24th Guru of Dattātreya. He can learn from trees, from the air, from every moment. There is no such thing that we can’t learn from. We can learn from every incident, but we can learn even more from each incident. When we are ready to learn, then we have taken the ticket to that destination, to that country where the map is in our hands. The day you get the feeling that, "I don’t want to learn anything from anyone," understand that now you don’t have to reach anywhere. Wherever you are, you will fall even lower than that. Kālidāsa says that those who get the fruits of good deeds in life, they also bend down the tree. That is why even if a person is bent down, only then can he enter the temple of God. This is the first thing. Secondly, there are nine days of Mahākālī, Mahālakṣmī, and Mahāsarasvatī worship. So Mahākālī comes first. Swāmī Rām and Kṛṣṇa Paramahaṁsa used to recite Mahākālī Mā daily. Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Kālī Pīṭha, Ādhyā Mātā also give darśana to three of their devotees every year. Every year, even today. This devotee also gets darśana. The pūjārī there is not like the pūjārī of the normal temples. Now Murārī Brahmacārī is there. And there, Maa Kālī, for the Calcutta region, Kālī Dā Baṅga Deśe, Vārāṇāśyam Annapūrṇā, Rājasthānī Jai. In Rajasthan, there is a worship of compassion. In Varanasi, there is a worship of perfectness. In Kalikā, there is a worship of Baṅgāladeśa. And in Vindhyatam, there is a worship of Vindheśvarī. Although today the story is complete, the stories that are going to come today have given us a path so that we can walk. Kriyā. Let us understand a little before we enter the book: what is Kālī? Kriyā. Kriya is such a thing without which you cannot live without action. When a video is made and you watch it yourself, you will think that I am mad. Sometimes I will brush my teeth, sometimes I will brush my mouth. One cannot live without action, and the existence of that action is for the sake of the mother. If the other person does something, then we feel that you are not doing that action properly. Whenever someone tells you to do something, the other person says it. How did you get up? And you say that I got tired. So, does Maa Kālī kill the blood vessel? This much knowledge is there. This much knowledge, Mahārāj, sometimes forms knots in the body. And all kinds of diseases are related to our actions. And Maa Kālī’s devotion is there. You cannot do any action when your blood vessel comes. That means any type of cancer, like blood cancer. Now, who is this blood vessel? It is called blood cancer. There is no other blood vessel. Blood vessel, when did it happen? Blood cancer, now it happened. The treatment was written in the Quran at that time. The blood vessel does not worship this Bhagavatī, Mahākālī, Jagadambā. The disease comes in his body and life. There is disease. Markandeya also fell down on the stairs while worshipping Lord Śiva. He did not have the strength to raise his hand. He said in a coma, "You have only done half of my form till now, in the form of Śiva-Śakti. To worship Lord Śiva without the Bhagavad Gītā is a great sin." In Gopāla Sahasranāmi it is said, Gaur Tej or Śyām Tej Samar Tej means those who worship without Rādhājī Tej or Śyām Sundar Tej, that is a great sin. This whole universe is a house. And if the owner of the house does not want, then he cannot live in the house. So who is the owner of the house? Parambhā, Jagadambā, Adhyā, the 10th stage is different. You will get as much time as you give, so I will return to Kriyā. You think about it, think about it. Our Śāstras, our festivals are so scientific that your Pragyā Takṣu will open, this Takṣu will close. You cannot live without Kriya. You open ten shops from one shop, make five houses from one house. You need accounts in banks, you need accounts in Swiss banks. This is Kriya. We cannot live without karma. And if all these things have to stop, then even in sleep, the mind keeps moving. You just think, are we tired of doing something, or are we tired of not doing something? One question to all of you. You have to take out some elements. Now the students are sitting. Secondly, the decision of this thing is whether you are tired of doing something or not. Secondly, if someone tells you to do something else, then you are tired. You are tired of the work that is done on your own will. You have to understand the action. You have to understand whether the energy is little or increases. There are four sources of energy. One is the energy that you take from food, water, tea. You will not get food; you will get angry. You will not get tea in time, and you will get angry. So that energy you have given to the outside, grains and materials. You gave it to water, milk, bread. If you do not get it, you will slowly become weak. You will start to fall. There are such people who are sitting in the Himalayas. There is Lhasa University in Tibet, which is not visible. In that also, people are sitting in the form of Ādarśa. Mahāvatār Bābājī is sitting. God of God is sitting like this. So when you live in the body, until then you will need food and water. If there is a source of energy above, like when you come home from the office, you are very tired. Now you can’t do anything. You went home and found out that there is a snake in the house. The power will come again in the house. Take out the children who are sitting in the house. There will be a war with the snake. Your sleep flew away. You were sleeping at night, and there was a sound. There was a fire. Where did the sleep go? And in the story, it starts to come like Kṛṣṇa. It starts to come. There are two more sources. This power is fulfilled by food. The power of the mind, when there is a problem or when there is a test or an exam, then you acquire that power. The third power is the power of the soul. Soul power. If a person falls sick, he will not be able to sleep. But he will be fine. Sometimes your soul power will work above the mind. All the mothers and fathers are souls. As soon as we have a son, then what do we call that son? The soul is named Hathli. The soul is born on that day. Before that, he was a soul. The person who is child-like, in our culture we say that he is a child-like person. Why is he child-like? Because his soul was born with his birth. The name of the son is Ātmaj. It is called Ātmaj. And the third, the fourth, the biggest source of power is God. So, body and mind, these are the four sources of power. Power comes from here. Eat the energy you get in the morning and in the afternoon. Eat as much as you can. Finish. Three days. Twenty-seven days. Then the mind also breaks. The mind is also very big. The mind works with the moon. There is a gap between the moon and the sun. And one day, even the soul has to break. There is a limit. Like you are sitting in your house, in your room, in your bed. You have installed a window, so the energy of the mind has come more. You are more than the energy of the mind. If you come into the house, you will get the power of the soul. If you want the power of God, you will have to come under the sky. For physical power, it is just like we are covered in a room. Oxygen, no lights, no air. So we make a ventilation for the window. We need more oxygen and more air when we come into the ground of the house. So, the room is just like your physical power. Mind power is just like having a good window, because the mind is just collecting information from books, from Google. The power of the mind is the karma of this birth, the karma of the previous birth, the karma of good deeds, and the karma of bad deeds. It also applies to the soul, Mahārāj. Punya karma aur guru mīrāj jāto jñān batāve, pakaḍ hāth se hāth batāve. So jñān ke bāre me information nahī detā hai, hāth pakaḍ ke sedā hāth me se detā hai paramātmā kī. Ye lo, pakaḍ lo hāth, ho gayā kā? To Mahārāj, kar śarīr kī śakti se bolte, "Maine śarīr se tere liye bahut kām kiyā, lekin śarīr bīmār ho jātā hai." Man ke andar stresson aa jaati hai, aur ātmā fasya nahi karoge, sādhanā nahi karoge, to ātmā ki śakti ki bhi simā hai, ātmā kā bhi hojan hai. Meditation is the food of the soul. Love and surrendering is the food of the soul. You will feed just your physical body and mind. Grace will not come in our life. If you want power, then you will have to connect with that God, that Jagadambā. For that, what is that Jagadambā? You will have to enter into it. The power here, whether you know it or not, your power is directly connected with that God. I want to tell you this: never ever think that you are an orphan, that you are weak, that you don’t have as much courage as any other person. Never ever think that you lack knowledge, never ever think that. All of us are always connected to God; there is no way to get away from that power. The day the power comes out, we all become dead bodies. So we are all blessed by the Divine Mother already. And proof is our heartbeat, and proof is our breathing. Our breath is the proof that the Supreme Power is keeping us alive. Our breathing is the proof. This breathing is the blessing of God. How many people have studied Devī Bhāgavatam so far? Please stand up. No one has done it. This is a very good thing. This is a very good thing. And who among you does the Navarātrī fast? All of you, say Jai Mātājī. See, this is Nātrī. Now, who wakes up till 9 o’clock? Nātrī is Śivarātrī, Navarātrī. So this is Nātrī. Nātrī means whatever you have to do, you have to do it at night. You have to win sleep at night. You don’t have to sleep for nine days if you want to understand Navarātrī. We will not sleep. It’s okay. Please don’t disturb your neighbor. If you are going to sleep, we will play loudspeakers all night. But let me tell you one thing: until we sleep at night, we will lose our lives. So, what is this? That I am asking you to sleep at night? People go to the doctor: "I am not able to sleep." The doctor says, "Take this. Take some sedation. Go to sleep." Because if a person does not sleep for three days, just for three days, then the problem will come out. And here, you don’t have to sleep for nine nights. You will sleep during the day. You will complete your day by sleeping. What kind of a puzzle is this? yā niṣā sarva-bhūtāni jāgrati paśyato muniḥ, yasya jāgrati bhūtāni sā niṣā paśyato muniḥ. So the night in which you and I sleep, there are two meanings of the word rātri here. The world is called darkness. The world’s hunger and thirst is the night. The desire is the night, because we are all sleeping in desire, in love. So as long as there is desire, there is love. Māyā, īrṣyā hai, lobh hai, hum soye hue hai. Whenever there is lust in our life, we are sleeping. Naive means lust, desire. You are running, running and running, but reaching nowhere. Without a goal, you are just struggling. This is your life; this is a journey. Humāre Purāṇa humko jagāte hai. Our all Purāṇas are giving just jagane ke liye, kya kahīye? My son, get up! He would hit me with a hammer. I would open my eyes in a vessel nearby. He would give me a hammer to wake me up. We ring the bell in front of God. There is a bell in the temple too. Does it happen? That bell is to wake up God or to wake us up? It is a bell to wake us up. God is not sleeping. We are sleeping. This is my wife. This is my home. This is my land. This is my city. This is sleep. To wake up from this sleep, he said, leave these people for nine nights. Leave these beings for nine days. Then there will be a fast for nine nights. He said, "I want to destroy my enemy." I want to just destroy my enemies, so I want to do the prayer of the Kālī. Who is the demon? The demon is inside, not outside. Not outside. All the demons are sitting inside. Who are they fighting with? With our Śakti, with Durgā Mā. And where is that Śakti? In our actions. Whenever we do wrong actions, we insult our mother, insult Durgā Mā. And those wrong actions, Rāghavīd, Caṇḍamud, Mahiṣāsura, these are demons in our body. To know this, we will have to do those actions in which there is no impurity. This is also worship of Kālī, Kriyā Śakti, and Jñāna Mahā Kālī, Mahā Lakṣmī, Prosperity. Indriyon ko satao, upāsānā nahīṁ hai, āp prakṛti aur apnī indriyon ke sāth maitrī karo. This is the nourishment, real nourishment, when you understand the nature, all our rituals, friendship with the nature. In these nine days, the one who eats less food will not get sick. If we do not eat too much, disease will not enter our body. Because nature is changing, and when Navarātrī comes, when? When summer or winter comes, Śāradīya Navarātra and Caitra Navarātra. In Caitra Navarātra, we are going from winter to summer, and in Śāradīya, we are going from summer to winter. So these two rhythms change, and the whole system of the body starts to change. Most people get sick. So to control those diseases, they say, "Keep them fine for nine days, keep them fine for eighteen days, within a year the whole body will be fine." Because the body is the biggest thing. The action takes place in the body. The body is made up of Aśvarī, Mahā Lakṣmī, and Mahā Sarasvatī. Aśvarī is also there, Kriyā is also there, but Jñāna is not there. It means that a lot of work is going on and a lot of money is coming. But in the absence of Jñāna, a person is in a bad situation or is afraid. What happens to a person? There are two shortcomings in life. One is not having wealth. And one is having wealth and having problems with wealth. Part 2: The Two Fundamental Problems There are only two major problems in the world. There are many people, but the problems are of two types. Both poverty and wealth are problems, because certain byproducts cause trouble through money. If you think, "What should I do with this money? What should I do with this power?"—these are bad saṁskāras. The world suffers mostly from these issues: kriyā (action), jñāna (knowledge), and aiśvarya (power/sovereignty). You must correct all three. If the action is correct, you will attain Lakṣmī on your own. That is Aiśvarya. What does Aiśvarya contain? The happiness of the body and the happiness of one's relatives. There is money in everything, yet every child lives separately. Husband and wife have different rooms. This is not Aiśvarya. Aiśvarya means everyone should sit together in one room, and no one should feel discomfort; everyone should sit comfortably. This is the glory of satsaṅg: thousands of people sit in satsaṅg, and no one is troubled by another's ego. We confront our own ego. This is the greatest glory of satsaṅg—that in satsaṅg we lose our ego. Yet, as soon as we go to our room, our ego stands up again. This ego is a fascinating thing. How many times do we experience ego? Just watch your ego for 24 hours. If you go before a rose or a flower, or near a bird, your ego is destroyed. Chote bachche ke pās mi jaate ho, āpkā ahaṅkār bilā ho jātā hai. And as soon as you enter deeply into worldly affairs, āpkā ahaṅkār vāpīs kaḍā ho jātā hai. Simply make it your task to observe the ego. And sometimes, also do this work: note down during the day how many times you have used the word "I." Because every time we repeat "I," ego is in the background. So just note on paper how many times I use "I." That is why there is a very good tradition, a very good culture in India. Always say "Yes," say "God." Call others by saying "God." So when the other person is God, my ego vanishes. Therefore, when we speak of another person as "You are God," then we are certainly connected and working without ego. And what consumes most of our power? Our ego. Who eats the most of our power? Our ego. So ego is just a demon, and ego is our power. Knowledge, action—all three types of power are required: Mahākālī, Mahālakṣmī, Mahāsarasvatī. So I tell you, you will have to forget your ego. I have told you first about the Bhavānīṣṭakam by Śaṅkarācārya. Śaṅkarācārya composed the Bhavānīṣṭaka, and it is clearly stated: "You are the mother, you are the father." These are the sentiments in the Bhavānīṣṭaka. The eight ślokas of Bhavānī are mentioned in Jagadambā. When we say, "You are the mother"—O God, you are in the form of a mother. When we worship Durgā, do not think that the worship of Lord Śiva is not the worship of Lord Gaṇeśa. Everyone's worship is performed. Everyone's worship is done. Come, in two seconds we will talk about the Bhavānī Aṣṭaka. This word will come again and again so you can understand it. It is very beautiful. We will enter the Devī Bhāgavat with this beautiful statue. You will do all this, and you will reach. And the prayer of Mahākālī, Mahālakṣmī, and Mahāsarasvatī will be performed. There is a prayer of the Navagraha, etc. All this has been given in it. Keeping that principle in mind, along with Bhagavatī, there is the worship of Kṣetrapālit Jī, Gaṇeśa Jī, and Mañjī Jī of Bāṭūbh. For the welfare of everyone, for the welfare of the world, Viśvagurū Mahārāj, Paramahaṁsa Svāmī Maheśvarānand Jī, here near the ashram and here in Jaipur, with the feeling of the people's welfare, has given us the instruction that you all can listen to the Katha; you can also listen to the pūjā. Everyone should obtain the complete result of such devotion. What is the desire of the saints? What is the meaning of the clothes of God that you see? What is the meaning of this orange color, this orange cloth? He is not living his life for his personal life. His entire life is for society, for world peace. Every action is for this nature. God has told us in the Upaniṣads that in order to correct that nature, we have to understand science. In our country, there is an amazing tradition. When someone gets sick, they are told to give jaggery to a cow. When the cow gets the jaggery, the disease is cured. Has this happened or not? It happens. Let's see in the end. What is the feeling? He is worshipping Gaṇeśa. He has made a wooden Gaṇagor. He has worshipped Kīśarjī. He has obtained a husband and a son. Oh! If you see with your own eyes, what is there? You play with the wood. After worshipping Gaṇeśa, whose idol is it? It is an idol of soil, stone, or gold. And you have worshipped there, and your life becomes fine. When the scientist... I don't know what to do with that weight. I don't know what to do with that heavy weight. I can go to one place, and what do I feel like going there? The Upaniṣad says, do not do anything; just sit in one place quietly. You will become world peace. What kind of science is this? This is science. If you want world peace, the world needs your peace. You are in the state of meditation; how can you make peace outside? Therefore, on this basis, all the nations, all the people, with big militaries, guns, fire, fire, fire... to collect such weapons, every year, in big gatherings for world peace, assemblies are also held. There is no peace. One ṛṣi says, "Oh my God!" One Ṛṣi is sitting and is seeking peace. He is not asking for peace. Whatever happens, peace will be in the sky. There is no picture that he did this for peace. But it happens through feelings, through emotions. Vishwagurujī, where are you sitting? I don't even know the name of the country; you also don't know the name of the country. But what did he do? He felt that the people living in my ashram in Jaipur may receive the blessings of the Goddess. This was realized through his feelings. What are your feelings? There is a big difference in this. We build a house by investing two crore, ten crore. But when you look at the houses, they are very big; they perform a lot of worship, they show their power. The leaders undertake many pilgrimages; they show their power. If you show your power, then your power will be destroyed. Power is a vision; it is a philosophy. Not to show, but as long as power is shown, there is no peace. That is why it is said to keep things and your power secret. Tell me the truth. If you put a tilak, you put it on top. If you put a tripuṇḍra, you put it on top. And you hide the notes in your pocket. You should also turn the notes like this. We hide those notes. We want to show others our own power. We want to show the time. Because we do not want peace now. When we want peace, we will secretly pray to God. When everyone goes to sleep, we will pray to God. We will also pray for everyone's auspiciousness. It is auspicious. It is not individual. It is the essence of the knowledge of the East. There is so much doubt. There is no doubt. It is the essence of all the Purāṇas. And the root of all problems is that we start thinking about ourselves, only about ourselves. We say, "I have fasted, I have fasted, I have gone on pilgrimage, I have listened to stories." No, brother, in every story it is said to listen to the Śubhāśraṇa or the Bhagavad Gītā. From wherever you taste the ocean, it will remain the same. We will have to listen because this is the truth. We have the permission of our saints. We have to listen to the truth—those who live in Badrināthjī, Uddhavjī, Nāradjī, Brahmā's son, Sanātana, Sanātana... These four brothers, Vedabhyajjī, all of them should be worshipped, and any scripture should be read. Before that, no scripture should be read. Ved Vyāsa jī is there. All of them should be recited with Namaḥ. Before that, I should not read any scripture. There is a sūtra on Naimiṣāraṇya. I will tell you the meaning of Naimiṣāraṇya. The place where the mind is still, that is Naimiṣāraṇya. Our mind is not still. When our mind supports knowledge, that place is called Naimiṣāraṇya. How to destroy the Lord? For this, Śoṇakājī Ṛṣis requested Sūtajī, and all of them are sitting to listen to the 18 Purāṇas. And for how much time? He said, "We are sitting for 3 to 6." This Śoṇakājī Ṛṣi is sitting for 1,000 years. For how many years? He is sitting for 1,000 years. For so much money, then 1,000 years is not the age of a person. How does our age get worse? We will have to understand how it gets worse. By the time we consume material things, our age will decrease. And the day we enter that supreme element, our age will increase from that day. And if a second birth also happens, then what you did in the previous birth will remain the same. So all the ṛṣis have promised that we will sit for a thousand years to attain knowledge. Some people attain it in one year, some in two years, some in twenty years, some not even in one hundred years. Why not? A man is like a horse. There are some horses; look at them. Looking at the master, you become alert. The master has come, now you have to walk somewhere. The master has come. Let him come. He will sit, then I will walk. Why should I be alert? He will come and sit, then he will walk. This is the story of human beings. The third person will not move forward until he is healed. And the fourth horse is a chariot horse. He will not move forward until he is healed. How much is he healed? He gets sick, he has cancer, he has so many problems. What is the meaning of all the problems? God is healing. He said, "Brother, how long will you sit? Human life is over. How long will you stand here?" Manuṣya janma kā matlab hai āge baḍho, vikās karo, vikās honā cāhiye. When we are human beings, it means this is the time for the spiritual journey. It doesn't matter where you are born, what your country is, or what your background is. If we are human beings, manuṣya mātra hai, we are born for devotion, we are born for freedom, for nirvāṇa. This is the meaning of taking birth as a human being, Gurujī has told us. Now what else do we need for this, tell us. Mokṣa is our birthright. If we are not doing any action for this, then we will say, "I am living without you, I am committing a sin." If we are living without God, if we are living without the salvation of God, then this is the biggest sin, and there is no fault in it. Hail Mother! O Pandit jī, we have come to listen to this, this is the Devī Bhāgavata. What kind of rasa are you making? This is what the Devī Bhagavad Gītā is about: that you become aware. Navarātrī. Navarātrī means that you love the divine. Many of you must have heard of the Bhagavad Gītā. Raja Parikṣit was there. Who was Raja Parikṣit? Abhimanyu. Abhimanyu's wife Uttara, and due to the pregnancy of Uttara, Raja Parikṣit's son was born. Raja Parikṣit attained salvation in seven days. After listening to the story of Śulev jī, Śrīmad Bhagavatī got a snake for his death. Takṣa took the snake. The people of the world are like that. He said that the one who dies in the eternal death, that is the definition of the accidental death. If you are born before an accidental death, you have the right to live for 100 years. If you have knee pain, if you have knee sickness, oh God, wake me up. God, my time is over. I want to come here. No, live for 100 years. There is a minimum. This time, if a human falls, I don't know what he will become. He will become stone, he will become a bird. What will he become? He is subtle. The most subtle thing is the mind. There is nothing subtle in it. Humans are born for liberation. And the mind is so sharp that it doesn't wander anywhere. The mind doesn't wander; it doesn't surrender. In his birth, he started killing snakes. He said, "I will kill all the snakes." My father got angry. Then he said, "Now I want to see my father, in what condition he is in, in what state he is in." Whether he has been saved or not, those who die unharmed, or those who have accidents in life and fear of defeat or enemies, they get rid of all these things by listening to Devī Bhāgavat. That is, there is no unharmed death. And if someone has ever been liberated in the form of Akāl, then his status becomes good. This is a special moment of Devī Bhāgavat. God is going to give him salvation. If we listen to him with devotion, then in this birth, we will also be liberated. Vasudev jī, Nārad jī's story comes. That is, it has been taken from the Bhagavat. You know, God was once in Lord Kṛṣṇa. If there is any blame on life, then we should also listen to the Devī Bhāgavatam. And the blame is on everyone, that one day every child says to his parents, "What did you do for us?" It's happened in life, especially in India. The kids complain to parents, "What did you do for me?" especially in India. But in the West, when they are in college, they are living in the same city but in another apartment. This is my experience. But now the situation is changing everywhere, like the Vedas. So in India, they ask, "What did you do?" So, who is this blame on? It is on the mother and father. Even their children are asking them these days, "Can you do this? Tell me." And what else does God do? Gurur-Guru-Nāśata, Māta-Māta-Nāśata, Pitā-Pitā-Nāśata, Jananī-Jananī-Nāśata. This is what the Śāstras have said. Nav Yogeshwar says, Rishabhdev Jī says to his children, "If you want to do something for someone, then first of all, be free yourself." Be able to free others too. If you want to give something, a big gift, then first become enlightened and do sādhanā for life to give something. Before this, whatever you will give will be nothing more than pizza or burger. Before enlightenment, if you give anything, that stuff or that thing will be destroyed in time. So, brother, Guru is not Guru, mother is not mother, brother is not brother, friend is not friend. Such a person tells his sons, "If someone gives to you, he cannot save you from the sea of death." The real friend is the one who will save you from death. Who bet on Govinda, on Lord Kṛṣṇa? King Satrajit. He was a Yādavānśī king. There was a very big pot of red color. They used to give 80 tons of gold. Now, the weight of gold has increased a lot. Now the weight has increased by 80 tons. And the weight is more than 10 grams. I am very weak this month. And I want to take your blessings. I don't know all this. I still don't know the feeling of wheat and salt. Gold is a very big thing. Why is gold called gold? Āditya also told me one day. I heard sleeping is the best thing in the world. And if they don't sleep, we will die. That's why there is a magic, like silver or copper. This magic gives you so much happiness that you get in sleep. You get the same happiness as you get in sleep. Relax. Because you get happiness even in sleep. That's why people go to sleep in search of gold. But they are unable to wake up. Wake up, my friend! Now, where do I stay? Leave the gold, wake up! Wake up now! Wake up now, my friend! Wake up now!... ... ...... ... How can you ask for a gem from us? If someone says that he loves you a lot, he will say that he will give his life for you. People come to Gurujī and bow to him. Gurujī gives his life. If he gives his life for ten rupees, Gurujī gives his life for ten rupees. If he gives his life for 100 rupees, Gurujī gives his life for 100 rupees. There is no price for life; you get it for free. I have heard that a true Marwāṇī, he was passing through darkness and took a knife and put it on his neck. He said, "Brother, give me the knife, or else I will kill you." He thought for some time. The knife was also in his mind. What kind of religious man is thinking this? Is there anything to think about this? He started thinking and said, "You kill me." He said, "Why?" He said, "What is life? It is in the pocket." You have to go like this. You take the bag. I will not give you the bag, and I have paid a good premium from the LIC. And killed him, so he didn't get any life. He just went away. Satyajit thought that he came to meet Lord Kṛṣṇa. He asked for a gemstone from him. I will not give you the gemstone, and he stopped meeting Lord Krishna. Since then, he kept the gemstone hidden. He kept the gemstone inside. Sometimes, he would open it and see, and that's how it is with our things. How many days do you wear jewelry? Sometimes, a gemstone comes, but it is not good if it is inside. This is the story of Jwālādī. This is the story of Jwailadī's house. This is the story of the vegetables. Everyone should stay here. Not a single inch is going to go from here. This incident is of the West. Enlightened masters are also in the West. But they were sent to Sulī or Pagal Khānā. Or they were given poison. That is a different matter. Don't think like this. Śukra was also a Guru. But there is no society of people who understand knowledge if someone becomes enlightened there. If you talk about knowledge, they say it is bipolar. Send him to the hospital, send him to the rehabilitation center. This is not right. In India, he will be worshipped, and there he will be worshipped with a stick. Because in India, there is a tradition of knowledge. The culture here has seen the saints for centuries. So here, the saints are understood. Now, awareness has come in the children too. Saints have started hiding the gem. It must be the right way for us. Will be hiding his soul? God Kṛṣṇa asked him and protected him. When a Brahmin, a Guru, or any other person comes to you, like sometimes it happens that they say, "Don't wear this watch from this area, don't wear this jewelry, people will snatch it from you." God Kṛṣṇa knew, by looking at his aura, he understood what was going to happen to him. He didn't give it. And sometimes it happens, if there is a mosque in the house, then the son thinks that if the father wants to travel, then I will take him to the mosque. If there is an important thing in the house, then the other people in the house think that they should also use it a little. His younger brother, Satrajit, thought that Satrajit worships the sun a little. He wakes up in the morning at six or seven o'clock. The sun had given him a gem. He wore that gem and went to the jungle, and there the lions ate him. The lion was also given the title of Jāmbavān, which means the one who is the creator of the universe. In our Purāṇas, those who are universal can enter and exit at any time. Hanuman jī, Nārad jī, who is the main author of all the stories, who was the son of Lord Kṛṣṇa, in a meeting called Sudharma in Dvārakā, the old record is very bad, this butter thief, some people call him a thief, but he has stolen the hearts of the people of the world, so that the hearts of the people of the world do not get hurt. He said that he is a thief. If you remain silent, then sometimes it is a blessing. God has promised that until this problem is solved, I will not enter the society. Sometimes people see a person from a different point of view in society, and it is very bad to see that. God took Akrurjī, Dauḍjī, and other Yādavanśīs with him and went to the forest. If there is any problem in your life, then don't think that any system will help you. God is telling them. Make your own system. If you don't have a driving license and you are driving on the road, it doesn't mean that you will never have an accident. All the traffic people are on duty, there is a divider, still you have to go through a lot of difficulties to escape from accidents. In this way, life has to be lived. Like this, even if everything happens, take care. You have to learn to escape from people. This is the knowledge of the world. Lord Kṛṣṇa himself made a vow to wash his body. He went to the place where Prasen's feet were. Lord Krishna's body was not washed; it was put in the murderer's room. On that day, he said, "I killed my brother. I ate the corpse." I don't know about the corpse, but the body was also washed. God said, "Eat it." The lion ate it. He ate it. He had lunch with Prasen. God blamed him. It is not a joke to be a big man. Guru jī said, "Guru means 'Baḍā,' try to become Baḍā." Now, Nautal Panditjī said, it is not easy to become Baḍā. He said, "You eat Baḍā, Pakodā, Jodhpur Mithāī, this is Baḍā." He said, "How?" During the night, in the winter, in the winter season, during the winter season, some dal was kept in the water. So the dal was boiled during the night. During the night, in the winter, it was bathed, Gaṅgā, then Mar Silhan kī khāī, subhe subhe Śilā ke upar ragḍā usko, pīr tabtā tel mein nahāī, karchaṭ kī mār khā khā khe, phir jāke bade kelā hai. So, jo bhī baḍā hai nā usko dekhe, yeh mā sochnā yeh baḍā hai, sukhī hai. Usne yeh sab kiyā hogā, yeh sab. Isle ghar me bhi jo baḍā ātā hai usko yeh sab dekhna padegā. Aise nām nahī̃ paḍh gaye yahā̃ pe, baḍā nām aise paḍhā hai. Bole yeh to baḍā hai, samjho ki main baḍā hū̃ ya baḍā bannā chāhtā hū̃. God is so great. My son Govil was born in jail. He died in a four-day prison. He came to drink poison. He was 27 days old. He was 3 months old. He took him to Tṛṇamātā. The one who drank poison became Śaṅkar. The one who drank poison became Mīrā. The one who was bitten became Hīrā. The one who was drunk became Moti. In this world, one has to lose something. Shri Rām must have gone to see the IPL or sit comfortably. Sit straight in this, there is no one comfortably. In the world, only that is there in whose life you will see. God Śrī Rāma never sat on a low seat. And today our heart is with Śrī Śrī Rām. Have you ever come to Rām Rām in Navarātrī? See what has happened today. Shri Kṛṣṇa was disheartened and went to the door of a cave. When he entered the cave, he saw that it was very dark. So he told him that if you don't come for nine days, then you go home. When he went inside, the cave was very dark, but where the gem was lying, it was not a small gem; it was a very big gem. And with the light of that gem, the whole cave was lit up. When Śrī Kṛṣṇa started to pick up the gem, then Jāmbavānthjī himself came. This Jambavānthjī is the incarnation of Brahmā. All these four are born at the same time. Hanuman jī is of Rudra avatāra. Lord Rāma, Viṣṇu, Lakṣmaṇa jī is of Śeṣanāma. Similarly, Lord Kṛṣṇa is also there. Hanuman jī and Jamund jī are also there. They didn't have to take Avatāra twice. Śeṣanāma jī became the elder brother, and Balarāma jī became Balarāma jī. But this time, Balarāmajī also came here. He came here because he was in the forest of Rāmāvatāra, and he himself was in the forest of Caturthāvatāra. He also kept me here. This time we will not let him go. He is our elder brother. That is why we came here as elder brothers. He said that we will not let him take the avatāra because we want to see him. And this time when we had to go, he said, "Kanhaiya, you wash yourself, and we will sit at home." Lord Kṛṣṇa went to wash that pot. Part 3: The Greatness of Devī Bhāgavatam It was a significant event to wash the pot. After nine days, Maharashtra was completely transformed. Vāsudeva jī became worried, and Nārada jī arrived. At that time, Nārada jī established Mahāmāyā Jagadambā in Vāsudeva jī’s house and began reciting the Devī Bhāgavatam. All the people of Dwārakā sat down, and Nārada jī himself stood up and started the recitation. This is the greatness of the Devī Bhāgavatam. As soon as the recitation of the Devī Bhāgavatam began, and the eighth skandha was reached, Jāmbavān jī was fighting with Bhagavān. He asked, “Why are you fighting?” Because in his mind, Mahāmāyā gave him a sign: “With whom are you fighting?” He became completely stunned and realized, “I am fighting with my Prabhu Śrī Rāma.” The Lord Rāma returned to his family and gave his daughter, along with the gem. He apologized to her. She began to complete the story, but the story was not completed. God returned home. One fruit of this story is that if parents do not teach this story to their children for their welfare, if they do not establish the rules of this story, then all the troubles of the children will vanish. That is why, in our culture, most mothers observe this fast. Mothers do it for their children. Navarātri is performed for the benefit of their children. In this story, there is another narrative of Vāsudeva jī. See, he is our Vāsudeva jī. He is a devotee of Durgā Mātā. He is narrating the story of the Śūdra woman Sonakalī and the Ṛṣi. He is narrating the story of Janmatī. What is he narrating? In ancient times, the sinner Kaṁsa had lost his life because of Devakī. Then his wife Devakī used to live with Vāsudeva jī in the prison. Kaṁsa used to pray intensely for her. This is the story of that time. Gargācārya jī came to him during that period. Gargācārya jī said to Vāsudeva jī, “O Vāsudeva, listen to this sādhanā. Goddess Durgā destroys the weakness of all her devotees. If you worship that Kalyāṇakārī Devī, you will be blessed. There is nothing difficult in the world for the people who worship Durgā Maa.” On the words of Garga Muni, Vāsudeva jī started worshiping Mātā Durgā in the prison. For nine days, you should chant this mantra: “Oṁ Ayam Ṛtvijaḥ Chandāḥ.” In the Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa, you should also recite the Varṇa Devī Sūtra. This will not give you any hindrance for nine days. And when the nine-day story ends, just as Vāsudeva jī obtained his son and, with the grace of Bhagavatī Durgā, attained salvation from the prison, all our wishes can be fulfilled. Similarly, in the Mahātmya, the story of King Śūdra, Āgandha Ṛṣi, and Kārtikeya—the elder brother of Lord Gaṇeśa, the elder son of Lord Bholanāth—has been told. There was a story concerning Kārtikeya, so he narrated the story of King Śudāmna. This story of Sudāmā appears in the eighth chapter of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam. Come, I would like to tell you a story you have never heard before. Śuddha is narrating the story of Sonakalī Ṛṣi, and Āgandha is narrating the story of Kārtikeya. This story is about the re-establishment of the Revatī Nakṣatra and its establishment. There are twenty-seven Nakṣatras. Among them, Revatī Nakṣatra is the last Nakṣatra. The sage Ṛtvak caused the Revatī Nakṣatra to fall. After the fall of this Nakṣatra, peace and auspiciousness were completely destroyed. And the chief sage, etc. Its name was kept as Revatī. The day when the Revatī nakṣatra comes, if you see the pañcāṅga, you know what all to observe. The day which is today, that day’s pañcāṅga is also seen. And if you see in the newspaper, then the people who are called Deepanāth today, they first tell the pañcāṅga to God. “God, this is today’s pañcāṅga. Today’s planet is like this, today’s nakṣatra is like this.” Today we get to know the profit and loss of the whole year. If you wish, you can come half an hour earlier from the Kathā and listen to the entire today’s pañcāṅga. If not, you can listen to the entire today’s pañcāṅga even after leaving. On the day of Revatī Nakṣatra, Gandharva Yoga takes place. The last part of Revatī Nakṣatra is called Gandhula. Gandharva Yoga takes place. Gargācārya instructs to worship Jagadambā Durgā on the Revatī Nakṣatra. We have also given the names of these nakṣatras here. When all Western scientists study Indian books, they say that what has happened in our culture is: save nature, save the environment, work on the environment. We have personified the Himalayas as a human being, we have given the Gaṅgā the form of a woman. People are also speaking; a sage is being born among the people, Jatā. So we are also hearing the story of Revatī Nakṣatra’s life, that there is a development concerning these nakṣatras. The earth has also been given the form of a woman. So the reflection of nature—that is, we have seen vitality in nature. There is nothing inanimate in our nature. Even the land on which we sit, we worship it. When you sit to worship, you will also worship the ground, you will also worship the seat, you will also worship the clothes. Say Jai Mātā jī. That is why when you bring your car, you worship the car. When you bring a new car, you also worship the car. You should also worship the Goddess. If you worship the Goddess, you should also worship the Goddess. If a musician brings his instrument, he will also worship his instrument. The train on which you travel, the train on which you sit on the bed, that train is also worshiped. That is why, before people leave, we see the auspicious time here. If you are born in an auspicious time, then you will get good news and go. And if you will go while crying, then you will come while crying. That is why, in a good auspicious time, in a good time, you should play the instrument of Nānā Prakāś and leave the house. This is not a bad thing. This is not a taboo that you are doing pilgrimage. This is science. Devī Bhāgavatam says that even for useless things, if we perform the worship of Devī Bhāgavatam, then it will become true. There are sages who praised and sang, worshiping Mother Durgā. He fell down from the sage’s side. He was reinstated in the sky. What is the Devī Bhāgavatam? Where is the story of the Devī Bhāgavatam written? Like the glory of Devī Bhāgavatam is sung in the Padma Purāṇa. The glory of Devī Bhāgavatam is sung in the Śraddhā Purāṇa, in which Kārtikeya jī is praised. Which nakṣatras should we listen to? Aśvinī, Mūla, Puṣya, Rohiṇī, and the nakṣatra in which there is Jupiter. There are four types of moments in which the moon is counted. This is about Jyotiṣa. If you read our Purāṇas, then you will get Jyotiṣa, Āyurveda, Vāstu Śāstra, Jñāna, Yoga Śāstra. We are just giving you some information. You should read them well. You should do self-satsaṅg. If you want to attain the happiness of Devī Mā, then you should observe four Navarātrīs. One Navarātri should be of Durgā, and four Navarātri should be of Saupat. Then for one Saupta, you will have to sit on the āsana for ten to twelve hours. We have to sit for three hours. We have to sit for three hours. We have to sit for three hours. We have to sit for three hours. We have to sit for three hours. We have to sit for three hours. We have to sit for three hours. We have to sit for three hours. We have to sit for three hours. We have to sit for three hours. Wherever I am, I am still in a state of meditation. Even then, I will take a few breaths. I sit for at least three hours. To do so much meditation and to attain Devī Mā, you get Mokṣa. But why don’t you get Mokṣa? It is a pending work. Because you have to bring some milk, you have to bring food, you have to settle your son. No one’s child is settled yet. Those who are settled, they focus on that. There is no settlement in this world. The second name is Duhkha. What is the second name of the world? Duhkha. If there is duhkha in the world, it is not a big deal. There is one more name of the world, Cakra. That is why my Govinda’s name is Cakra. Who is running this world? This is not Sudarśana Cakra. We are just roaming in that cakra, one day round and round and round. And the one who comes out of this cakra, his body also becomes an enemy. His grave also becomes an enemy because he has fought a lot. He came out of the Cakra of God, and the pending work—that is, if the children have to settle, if there is any pending work of the family, if there are enemies, friends—if you observe these four Navratrīs, then that work will be done for you. But the word “Pakhaṇḍa” is derived from the word “Lobha” in the Togar language. Pakhaṇḍa is a Sanskrit word. This is the word Pakhaṇḍa. The person who divides himself into pieces. Divide, multi-personality. Separate in office, separate in bedroom, separate in market. These are the ten faces of Rāvaṇa jī. They are called Pakhaṇḍa. The one who divides himself into pieces is Pākhaṇḍa. So the greed which is inside us, we don’t get anything out of it. When we keep something in front of God, think how much calculation we have done. If God sees that calculation, He will be shocked and fall down. He will say he has invested Rs. 1.25 million, and he has done all the work. What will he do with a dozen bananas? We are so unfair to God. People say God is unfair, I say we are also unfair to God. God is kept in such a small box. God is kept in such a small box. “Devāṁ pūjā bhūtvā devaṁ yajeta.” God should behave like this, at least behave with God. That is why those who believe in God, they make the idol of God, the idol of their Guru, even human. That is, they worship as much as our size. You can understand that the land is very expensive. How can you make God sit in your house for five minutes? That is why God never comes. If he comes, where will you keep him? If the Goddess comes for nine days, if the Goddess comes on Navratri. If she comes, give her mud and put her in the water. Don’t keep her near you. Make her sit in your heart. Make her sit in your heart. At least, make her sit in your heart on the fourth day of Navratri. So in one year there are four Navarātri, two in Gokta and two in Prakāśavanī. If you want to know the story of Devī Bhāgavatī, then go to Śreya Suṣṇamān and understand its complete Vedas. And follow the complete Vedas. Only then will you be able to understand the true nature of Navarātri. And you should also do Pratyākṣaṇa of Bhagavatī. Durgā Mā should worship Durgā Sarasvatī, chant the Navan Mantra, and say, “I am drowning in the ocean of the world, please help me.” You should understand the Vyāsa and worship it, and also bow to it. What mantra should be used to bow to it? It should be mentioned here also, and it should be mentioned in the Kathā as well. Starting from the sunrise, you should rest for two hours in the afternoon. You should meditate on the Kathā for some time before the sunrise. At what time does the sunrise take place? At 9 o’clock, and the sunrise takes place at 6 o’clock for 10 minutes. And then the sunrise takes place at 7 o’clock. So, how many hours of the day have you spent? The days have grown, it is summer. So, you should listen to this much Kathā. In the week, you will get rest for 18 minutes. Today it is from 3 to 6, so it is the time of the first day. Tomorrow you have to come before sunrise. We will give it to you here in 18 minutes. And here are all the arrangements for you all. So, you will get the full result of Kathā. And at night, you will go home and do the pūjā of Navarātrī, because it is Navarātrī. We will start listening before sunrise, and till sunset we will listen. Just I will speak and speak and speak, and you will sleep and sleep and... Then we will chant “Abu Mayang” in Kemchanda. What else do we do in life other than sleeping? And how many hours do we sleep? If a person prays on Holī night, Dīvālī night, and Navarātrī night, then one of his works is done. This is your Devī Bhagavad Gītā. There is a little Tantra in this Devī Gītā. In Tantra, the work gets done quickly. But if you make a mistake, it does not go anywhere. But what do people think of Tantra? To break the leg of the neighbor. This is not the meaning of Tantra. Jesus says, “Love your neighbor.” Love your neighbor too, because Jesus also knew that no one will ever be able to love his neighbor. And who is the neighbor? The one who is sitting in the neighborhood. The neighbor is also a neighbor. The one who is staying with you is also a neighbor. It is the age of the internet. People are sitting on the internet for hours and thinking that the one who is far away is good and the one who is near is bad. We will have to leave it. With the feeling of everyone’s welfare, this is also the time of the Bhagavad Gītā, and the time of the Devī Bhagavad Gītā has been told here by the Mahātma. It is said that one should take alpāhāra by stopping the seeker of mala and mūtra. I promise you this, I say this with experience, that if we do not do good practice for three days, then for the rest of the three days, we rise above the senses. We can reach the power of mind and soul in nine days: body, mind, and soul. Our body consists of three things: the physical body, the body of happiness, and the causal body. There are three sheaths: the food sheath, the vital sheath. There are five kośas in this way, but these three kośas and three things are there in our life which we cannot leave. One cannot leave food. One cannot leave sleep, and one cannot leave enjoyment. How much you feed your tongue, how much you feed your tongue, your tongue will not change. All the senses, all our senses, ten senses need to be fed. Think that you are feeding things, but things are feeding you. We are not eating food; food is eating us. We are not passing the time; time is passing us. You cannot kill time; time will kill you. That is why in our country, the name of time is Kāla. He says, “I am Kāla.” That is why Mahādeva’s name is Mahākāla. Kāla means death. That is why Kāla became Kālī before Kāla. Who became Kālī before Kāla? Kālī. She is the first Kriyā Śakti, right? So she became Kālī after Kriyā Śakti. Kāla became Ikāla. Punjabis say, “Sat Sri Akaal.” Sri Akaal is beyond time. This is Sat Sri Akaal. Sat Sri Akaal is above it. What is the bondage of a person? We are in time, living in time. Time is controlling us. And in reality, when we go into enlightenment, there is no time. It is the biggest lie. There is nothing like time. You say, “It is night, I got bored in America.” There is no time anywhere. There is no time anywhere. Time is the biggest lie. There is nothing like time. That is why my Govind Arjun says, “The body cannot be touched by fire, the eyes cannot be touched by fire, the eyes cannot be touched by fire, the eyes cannot be touched by fire, the eyes cannot be
