Amma's Navaratri Message - 2008

Special Blessings and Guidance

For Navaratri this year, Amma has sent a special video message to her children. Due to the difficult times we are facing, she talks about how to conquer negative energy and depression through meditation, and weaves her blessings through the theme of Navaratri - the festival of Divine Mother's victory over negativity, illusion, and poverty.

Text of Amma's Message:

Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha

Embodiment of Divine Souls, Amma’s Most Beloved Children,

I love you, my sweet babies! I love you millions, billions, zillions, trillions, countless gazillions of times. I always love you so much, my sweet children.

Innumerable babies are complaining about their mental depression, especially this year. Because of the negative energy of Saturn, children are so depressed. They are in tears, in pain, with heavy heart, and I got so many emails and phone calls from so many babies. Depression is nothing but negative only. Negative overcomes positivity. So, have more positivity and permanently kill negativity with your meditation power.

So, sweet children, try to do every day meditation one hour in the morning and also in the evening, one hour meditation. In this meditation, you are elevated like anything. You will experience total bliss and your experience is, “I myself am bliss.” So there is no place for mental depressions and mental commotions in the life.

You are not this mortal frame. You yourself are immortal. You yourself are Brahman. So, experience your real nature. Your real nature is Bliss. You will be filled with new strength, joy and cheer. My sweet babies, meditate everyday. Regularly do pranayama. Pranayama helps you like anything. All these clouds will just disappear by doing pranayama. Your mental strength will be so strong in doing pranayama everyday regularly without interruption. My sweet children, any kind of negative thoughts, any kind of negative desires are just totally eradicated by the power of your strong meditation. So, there is no place for negative desires and negative thoughts in our hearts because of the powerful meditation.

Meditation is divine. You are in your supreme Self. Whenever you close your eyes and just remain in total silence in sadhana, you are in your supreme Self. There is no place for negativity and no place for desires also in true meditation. Overcome tomorrow’s negativity by today’s real sadhana. So, Amma is expecting your real sadhana, your elevation, the experience of the highest Bliss in your sadhana.

This Navaratri festival time, do not waste the time—even one second also. Whenever you get time, you can spend in meditation and be very quiet all these ten days. Do not have any commotion, any unrest, unhappiness, discontentment in this special time. This is a very energetic time, very special time. So, utilize these very special moments in meditation, in true sadhana. Stand up with your divine body, with your splendor body. Experience, “I myself am Supreme Truth. I myself am Absolute Bliss.” You can conquer death and attain the immortal seat of supreme splendor. By virtues, deeds and the right thoughts, you can attain your destiny. You have a free will to act. This vast ocean of eternal peace is within you. You are the source for eternal peace. You are the source for peace. So, sweet children, you yourself are eternal. You are not this gross body. You are not this limited mortal frame. You yourself are immortal. So, kill the mental depression. Attain Realization; experience total happiness through your meditation.

In Navaratri festival times, all these ten days are energy days—very special days. Aswijamasa, the month of October, this is called Sharan Navaratri. Sharan Navaratri means Sharada Navaratri. Sharada means Saraswati. In this Navaratri, when people are praying to Divine Mother, I am sure they are going to experience in this lifetime their immortality. If people are meditating, especially with mental silence and with mental peace, they are totally surrendered to their supreme Self without any external connections with their materialistic desires. When they are totally involved and merged in the Consciousness and meditating every day, morning and also evening—twice a day, I am sure they are going to experience total bliss in these special days. So, that is the power of the Navaratri festivals.

Children, through meditation you will attain the jivanmukta state. What is jivanmukta? Jivanmukta means a liberated Soul—liberation from the body, liberation from mental levels, liberation from intellectual levels, liberation from all kinds of bondages. Then you will attain total jivanmukta state. So, [you will attain] liberation from anger, liberation from greed, liberation from jealousy, liberation from commotions, unrest, mental bondages. Sometimes people are thinking, “This is mine.” “This belongs to them, this does not belong to me.” So, these kinds of negative feelings are totally eradicated in meditation. You will attain total liberation. You are always in the highest blissful state—total blissful state. So, experience the blissful state especially in Navaratri festival time.

All these days are—each and every moment is—a golden moment. If you meditate even one minute in Navaratri festival time, it is equal to hundreds of years of meditation. If you want to do puja, you can do puja also. If you want to be in silence, you can observe silence also. If you want to spend [the time] totally in meditation, you are most welcome, sweet children. Meditate more and more.

“I am not afraid about any problems. I myself am Atman. I myself am immortal. So, these problems are very, very transient. These problems are never going to work on me. These tribulations are never going to work on me.” Assert this. Attain total immortal bliss in your meditation. “I meditate on Atman. I need not worry about anything. I myself am so strong. I myself am immortal.” Assert this, my sweet children.

Desires are like clouds. Desires prevent light and energy in the life. Not only that, the total mental peace will be eradicated by the power of the negative desires. So we need total positivity. You need a totally pure heart, a pure mind in Navaratri festival time. During the sadhana period, avoid the negative thoughts and negative desires; be simple, be peaceful; take only sattvic food. Then you will become totally positive. Your sadhana will improve like anything. The most greatest wealth is your sadhana only. So, experience this wealth, attain Realization in this lifetime.

During Navaratri time, the energy field is more and more strong. So use this special time for your sadhana. Be in silence–verbal silence and also mental silence. If possible you can take vacation. If it is not possible to take vacation, wake up early in the morning and do more sadhana. And, after coming back from the evening work, you can take bath again and sit in sadhana before your supper and pray at least one hour. Meditate one hour with the pranayama sadhana. Amma is expecting your elevation, your eternal peace, always your good health. I don’t like to see my children’s depressive faces. I want to see your cheerful faces and peaceful hearts, your peaceful life.

Sweet children, you yourself are eternity; you yourself are infinity and you yourself are immortality. Experience this especially during the Navaratri festival time. Meditate. Contemplate more and more on your supreme Self. All forms are nothing but your supreme forms only. You are Atman. You are so sweet. All sweetness is nothing but comes from Atman only. Be always in eternal peace. Be always in that Consciousness. Be always in the Oneness experience only. Experience your Atman. Experience every living being as only nothing but your Self only. Atman is beauty, Atman is perfection. Atman is knowledge, wisdom, Consciousness. After 38 years, Saturn sits in the Sun house so innumerable nature calamities and innumerable disasters are happened in our world. So this year very specially, Saptarishi puja for seven cows and also very special pujas are going to be performed in Navaratri festival time.

During Navaratri time I want to do direct puja to Divine Mother: direct puja in the form of Annadana and also Vastradana. Annadana means giving food to the poor people below the poverty line. It is directly naivedya to Divine Mother. Naivedya means food offering to Divine Mother—so, direct special puja. And also, special offering to Divine Mother—Vastradana. Vastradana is nothing but giving clothes to the very poor people. So, this is my special puja to Divine Mother. And also we are building the houses for the children. These are not just regular houses. These houses are nothing but divine temples for Divine Mother. My dear divine children, I love you so much. From the bottom of my heart, with each and every heartbeat I think about always my children only. I am living in this world only for my children’s sake. I love you so much, my sweet babies. I love you countless, countless, countless gazillions and gazillions of times.

Om sarve santu sukhinaha

May all beings know contentment

Om shantih shantih shantihi

Om - peace – peace - peace

Pranayama is a form of yoga which involves regulation of the in-coming and out-going breath. It infuses the body with prana or life-breath which in turn stills the mind and heals the mind and body.

Sadhana means spiritual practice such as meditation, worship, chanting, verbal and mental silence, fasting, etc.

Sattvic food means food which is vegetarian, light and pure. Generally it includes fresh vegetables, nuts, fruit, milk, yoghurt, rice and lentils. Some people fast during Navaratri or give up grains, rice, potatoes, etc.
