Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam October 21, 2015

What is the purpose of the Navarathri celebrations? Bhagawan clearly explains

to us today.

Goddess Durga represents the power of Nature (Prakruthi-Shakti) and

Goddess Lakshmi represents the thought power (Sankalpa-Shakti). Goddess
Saraswati represents the power of speech (Vak-Shakti). It is to acquire these
three powers that the various forms of worship are performed during the
Navarathri festival. But prayers alone are not enough. Prayers issue from the
lips, but they should emanate from the heart. The heart (hridaya) symbolises
the Ocean of Milk(Ksheerasagara) from which emerges Mother Lakshmi. When
Goddess Lakshmi emerges, purity of speech follows. Whatever you speak must
conform to truth. Renunciation (Vairagya) is not abandonment of hearth and
home, and retiring to a forest. It means developing divine thoughts and
reducing worldly feelings. It is when this balanced development takes place that
you acquirePrakruthi-Shakti (control over the power of Nature). When these
powers are secured, your mental power, peace and bliss increases.
- Divine Discourse, Oct 04, 1992.

Of what use is to celebrate festivals, if you do not change your old ways
of thinking and behaving? Baba
